Yeah.
Charlamagne tha God
Cause I had a split nail. You ever had your nail? You see how you know the nail? Like, the actual nail was split at the time? Yeah, I had. I had that yesterday. It's so interesting watching nail techs put it back together because you know your nail be split. But then when you watch them do the gel and the glue and everything, it's really a science.
Jess Hilarious
I know. That's right, Joe. So you got a gel, Manny?
Charlamagne tha God

Charlamagne tha God
They don't say little man. You know, they're all Asian, so they think. And they got the accent. But the reality of the situation is people love me everywhere I go. Because you actually have conversations with them. I talk to them. I want to see what's going on. Y' all going there. Don't even look at the people in the eye when y' all talk to them.

Jess Hilarious
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page, start off some quick sports. First round of the NBA draft was last night, and as expected, Cooper Flag was picked number one by the Mavericks. Of course, he is leaving Duke, so congrats. Congrats to him.
Charlamagne tha God
Big night for white Africans, man. You know what I mean? Dropping the Kuz bombs for all the white Africans out there. Cooper. Cooper Flag. You know, his actual name is Koopa. K U P A Koopa. Flag went number one. Yes. That is not true.
Jess Hilarious
His name is Cooper.
Charlamagne tha God
C O P E R. He's originally from Nigeria. His family's from Nigeria. He's a white African. Cooper Flag, why you keep saying that?
Jess Hilarious
The spurs be the spurs picked up Dylan Harper, 70s pick. Sixers picked up VJ Edge Combs.
Charlamagne tha God
I don't know none of these people. You just named it. Sound like you're naming the double XL freshman list. Okay, I know. Cooper Flag. That's it.
Jess Hilarious
What else we got, Morgan?
Hey, y' all.
Charlamagne tha God
Hey.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, it feels good to be back. And how y' all feeling on a Thursday? Let me shout out Mimi for holding it down for me yesterday. I really appreciate it, but let's get into some front page news. Okay, so first, President Trump is back at the White House after attending the NATO summit in the Netherlands. Now, Trump doubled down on his claims that Iran's nuclear program has been destroyed after U.S. airstrikes and said it was a total obliteration. Now, Trump has been pushing back against multiple reports that say early Pentagon intelligence suggested Iran's nuclear program was only set back months. Now, the President also claims Iran was not able to move nuclear materials before the strikes happen. Trump went on to say he doesn't see Iran getting involved in the nuclear business anymore and he doesn't seem to care whether there is an agreement with Iran or not. Let's take a listen to his comments.
Charlamagne tha God
We want no nuclear. But we, we destroyed the nuclear. In other words, that's destroyed. I said Iran will not have nuclear. Well, we blew it up. It's blown up to me. I don't think it's that necessary.
Jess Hilarious
I mean, they had a war, they fought.
Charlamagne tha God
Now they're going back to their world. I don't care if I have an agreement or not.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. So elsewhere at the NATO summit, President Trump says he spoke with Ukrainian President Zelensky as they continue working towards ending their issues with Russia, their war with Russia. And he went on to say a ceasefire was not discussed between him and Zelensky. Let's take a listen to those comments.
Charlamagne tha God
On why Vladimir Putin has been more difficult. Frankly, I had some problems with Zelensky. You may have read about him, and it's been more difficult than other wars.
Lauren LaRosa
So Trump went on to say he will be speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin soon. And the president said he had a nice conversation with Zelensky and believes that the Ukrainian leader does want to end the war as soon as possible. It's not like he asked for it anyway.
Charlamagne tha God
I would think you would still need an agreement, though, because, I mean, if they're not sure that they got rid of what, the uranium that can still make the weapons. And if the program has only been set back a few months, you would think that you would still want an agreement. Unless you just are letting them know, I don't need an agreement because even if y' all start again, I'm gonna just drop another bomb.
Lauren LaRosa
I kind of. Okay. And that's just my sentiment. On a personal note, I feel like that's the sentiment Charlemagne is that, you know, he's probably upset with Israel and the way that things went with the strikes. So.
Charlamagne tha God
I mean, Iran. You mean both. Okay.
Lauren LaRosa
He expressed that he's upset with both. So.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
So in that, it's kind of like, well, you know, I don't feel like I might need a, an agreement. Because at this point, it could be like all bets are off. You know, you make an agreement and you see what people are with it.
Charlamagne tha God
Got you. Gotcha.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So today, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegset he is set to hold a press conference. This morning at 8:00am President Trump took to Truth Social to say the major news conference will be will defend BT B2 bomber pilots dignity after a leak suggested the pilots attack on Iranian nuclear sites were not as serious as mentioned. Now Trump went on to say it will be both interesting and irrefutable. Hegseth claims news outlets are reporting a leaked analysis in an attempt to smear President Trump. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt pushed back on reports saying Iran's nuclear program has been delayed but not destroyed. She said there's. There are more unseen reports that show Iran's nuke sites are buried under mountains of rubble. And of course, all of this is as a result, as a result of this, the Trump administration says it will limit the sharing of classified information with Congress. So lawmakers are also expected to be briefed today. The Senate receives a classified briefing today with the House set to follow on Friday.
Charlamagne tha God
But didn't that intelligence come from the Trump administration? Didn't the Trump administration tell us they weren't sure if they got rid of the facilities?
Lauren LaRosa
They are, they are denying that. They are saying that the, the facilities, they are doubling down. They are standing 10 toes on. It's destroyed, it's obliterated, it's done. Whereas there seems to be a leak and Congress doesn't. Well, there are members of Congress who don't think it came from Congress, but there does appear to be a leak in some of that intelligence. And they're trying to figure out who leaked that information. So it's unclear as to who leaked that early intelligence information as to, you know, the. The status of those nuclear sites.
Charlamagne tha God
Right.
Lauren LaRosa
But, yeah, well, we'll. I'll continue to keep you guys posted as to what takes place or what develops regarding that. So y' all stick around. More front page news at 7.
Jess Hilarious

Charlamagne tha God
Hello? Who's this? Hello?
Jess Hilarious
Hey, what's up, brother? Get it off your chest.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah, hold on, hold on. Gotta be the biggest bozo New York City. Okay, where you calling from, New York? I'm calling for the bs. Okay? The reason why I say Jim Jones the biggest Bozo, because he's 48 years old. If you're talking about going viral, leave that for the young boys. Now I've got a legacy. You worry about going viral now it's got a legacy. It is interesting, but, you know, Jim is doing all of this just for. I mean, just for the viralness of it all. He said that?
Jess Hilarious
Said that.
Charlamagne tha God
Listen, I have no problem with that, but that's what a young boy, you know, he's 48. You know, he didn't grow up and, you know, and speak a little something different, you know, Now I've got a legacy, you know. He can't do that, I tell you. Oh, go ahead.
Jess Hilarious
I was gonna say now, you know, people listening be like, it's kind of crazy. The first thing you did when you Woke up at 6 o' clock in the morning is called the Breakfast Club. About Jim Jones when there's so many other things going on in the world.
DJ Envy
Yeah, no, absolutely not.
Charlamagne tha God
Because I just think I did not. Because I just seen the Esso interview that. Not that Jim Jones did. Oh, yeah, I saw. I saw the Esso and Heineken. I saw the clip from Esso and Heineken. Absolutely right. You know, you got other things going on in the world. But it is interesting, you know, I'm in New York City. I'm worried about the mayor race too, you know. Let's go, Mandani. It is interesting, though, because I mean, Jim does have the right to his opinion, but here's the thing about your opinion. People have the right to disagree with your opinion too. So clearly a lot of people disagree with. A lot of people disagree with his opinion. Yeah, absolutely, Absolutely. I'm just saying, you know, sometimes you don't do, you know, slow your roll, you know, that's all.
Jess Hilarious
All right, brother, Have a good one.
Charlamagne tha God
All right, YouTube. Hey, Justin, Lauren, keep doing your thing. I love y' all beautiful ladies.
Jess Hilarious
Thank you so much.
All right, brother. I don't even know where that conversation started from. It's just. It's just a weird conversation to compare Nas and Jim Jones. It just doesn't even make sense.
Charlamagne tha God
I will say, though, what's so interesting, you know, it makes you go do some real research because I was like, damn, maybe I'm missing something. I mean, just. Just off my. You know, culturally and just as a rapper, you know, Nas is. Is light years ahead of Jim, but I just like, let me go see what's going on. Stat wise, he'll make you feel like that. Yeah, but it's still not even close. Not even close. That way. I even looked up who's been. After Jim said that yesterday, I literally went to go look up who's more searched on the Internet. Jim Jones and Nas. And it's Nas by a long shot. Now you know how people can look and see who's searching for artists. It's Nas by a long shot. Like you can act. There's metrics for this. People, people. Yeah, of course.
Jess Hilarious
And NASA's catalog is. Is dumb long.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah. Even the streams, like, like, I think on Spotify, nas does like 10 million a month or something like that. Jim is in the hundreds of thousands. Like, I'm just saying, like, I mean, I like Jim. I think Jim's music is dope. But, you know, when you start talking like that about somebody like Nas, I just gotta go see for myself.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, right.
Yeah, well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne tha God

Good morning, Chris. Charlemagne. We got beef. Why? We got big. You know it. Let me tell you what. While you was gone, they had a guest come up there that was a witch doctor. It's Jeff's fault. It was some dude named Dr. Thomas. He came on there and said if you work out for one day a week, you ain't got to work out no more this week. Oh, I know.
Jess Hilarious
You wouldn't have to tolerated that Dr. Morris Charlamagne.
Morgan Wood
It's your fault.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah, something. It's your fault, Charlamagne. Why are you calling him a witch doctor, though?
Jess Hilarious
Well, he's not a witch doctor. Salute to Dr. Chuck Morris. He has this machine or device that if you work out one day a week for about three, 30 minutes a day, it's the same as working out for five days now. I tried it. Jess has been doing it. So after about four weeks, I'll let you know how it is.
It's very effective.
Charlamagne tha God
$58,000 and it's $150 for 10 seconds and $600 for a membership. So, Charlemagne, if you was here, they wouldn't have did it. I'm screening you from now what?
Jess Hilarious
I was going to him before.
Just been going for him for about three weeks, four weeks now.
Charlemagne, don't be controlling what I'm doing.
Charlamagne tha God

DJ Envy
We do back in court yesterday and we got some clarification on these charges that were not dropped against Sean Diddy Combs. So we're going to break it all down.
Charlamagne tha God
All right.
Jess Hilarious
We'll get to that. Next, it's the Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne tha God
Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Jess Hilarious
Morning, everybody. Is DJ Envy, just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Lauren becoming a straight face.
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
DJ Envy
She gets the details that knows a little bit about everything.
Charlamagne tha God
She be having the latest on the bees. Good night. The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.
Jess Hilarious
Talk to me.
DJ Envy
All right. So Diddy's charge there have Diddy is being charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. Now, those charges were not affected yesterday by that letter that was sent by the prosecution to the judge. But now what will happen is the jury will have fewer predicates or theories that they have to consider when they're doing deliberations. So there were no actual charges dropped against Sean Diddy Combs, but theories to think on as you're figuring out what you want to do or decide were backed away from. And that is what we spent hours in court going through yesterday, how the jury is going to be instructed to think on everything that they've seen. All 34 witness testimony.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah. I had no idea what any of that meant yesterday. So that's why I'm glad I got attorney friends because I had to ask one simple question yesterday. What to streamline the instructions that will be issued to jurors mean.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Charlamagne tha God
And they mean that you just took away a couple of the predicates. So it was the arson and the kidnapping. Right.
DJ Envy
It was the arson, the attempted kidnapping and the aiding and abetting of the sex trafficking. Because the sex trafficking there are a couple different elements there. And they didn't even go into what exact theory under that they want to move away from. But they did mention that.
Charlamagne tha God
But and it's crazy, right, because they, they say they withdrawn, but it's like you're literally just asking the jury not to consider them. But the jury can't unhear what they heard.
DJ Envy
Yo. And and the theories that they have for the arson was the Kid Cuddy car situation and the, and then the attempted kidnapping. Specifically they mentioned when Capricorn Clark said that she was taken or that she was taken for this lie detector test and held against her will. And then when Cassie said that she was, unless she was held at the London Hotel. We've heard these stories so many times from so many different people, so many different ways. It's like, how do you unhear that?
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah, how can you be a juror sitting there, hear Capricorn Clark say that, hey, Cassie say that and then not consider it?
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, that don't make sense.
DJ Envy
I don't know how that, I really don't know how that works. And I think, not think, but when Diddy's attorney, Shapiro was arguing for that acquittal, I mean if I'm a judge, and I'm not, but if I had to make a decision, I would only say that it's kind of fair that they don't even have to think about those, even charge wise when it comes to certain things. And you drop certain things because you can't unhear all that stuff. It's in your mind now. Yeah, but that's what the instructions are for. And yesterday we were in court, supposed to start at 12, then it got pushed to 2, then it got pushed to 3. And we were in the court and at 3 o' clock they told us that they wanted 30 more minutes. And then Diddy said, no, we need 45 more minutes. So then it got pushed to 3, 45. So around 4 o' clock, court started. We didn't leave there until like, man, it was probably like 6, 30, 7 o' clock.
Charlamagne tha God
For what?
DJ Envy
Because they go through, there was like 66, 70 pages of different instructions that the jury will be giving on how they're supposed to go through their deliberations. You go through it's every count, they, they're literally going word for word, line for line. And they battling it out with this.
Jess Hilarious
Was this part boring?
DJ Envy
Oh, it was, it was boring. It did get a little spicy though. I'm not gonna lie. At the end of it, it got a little spicy, woke us all up. They started arguing about commercial sexual acts and how they will be defined in this instruction. Diddy scene was arguing like, well, y' all have been saying this whole time that a commercial sexual act is something that is a completed act, so you actually got to do the things. But now in your instruction you're like.
Charlamagne tha God
I mean like completion, like the whole.
DJ Envy
Like the like Ejaculation, all of that, like you actually physically engaged in something. And then you got to that point, but now what. According to what was written in the instructions, Diddy team is like, you guys, y' all moving the goalpost because now y' all saying it doesn't have to be a completed act, but that y' all didn't set this whole case up on completed acts. And Shapiro start going off. She was naming or listing things that they've said in their opening statement. She was going off to the point where even a judge and he don't get flustered, he was like, yo, I need a 10 minute break. We'll be back.
Jess Hilarious
The judge needed a break.
DJ Envy
Yo it because it was. They were going at it. She was very upset. They were Diddy's attorneys yesterday did a great job of like, they're protecting their client to the point where they want to make sure everything is very distinctly defined. Because if anything is vague, it's almost like the government can. We might not have everything on it, but like we got you there. So boom, it's our win. And they're like, nope, not happening.
Charlamagne tha God
So the moral of the story is he's still charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. But this they now they have fewer predicates to consider during deliberation.
DJ Envy
Yes, that is exactly.
Jess Hilarious
So none of the charges were dropped like everybody was saying yesterday.
DJ Envy
No.
Charlamagne tha God
So that means he'll probably be found not guilty on Noriko, but probably guilty of the sex trafficking and engaging in prostitution.
Jess Hilarious
That's what it sounds like.
DJ Envy
I feel like that's what. Yeah. If I'm having a guess, what is his demeanor?
Jess Hilarious
What was he like yesterday? Oh, he was what, worried?
DJ Envy
Does he look in the beginning he was just very involved. Like I told y' all, he's the one who asked for the additional 15 minutes to start at 3:45. He was sitting in his chair. He had a earpiece in his ear, like almost like the airpod. But then once he. They were getting through it, he's nodding as things are happening and jury's not in the room, so he could do so. But then he. There was a moment where he was talking to his kids and. And I was like, man, the. The regular Diddy came out and so he was very at ease, but he's talking to his kids and he's like low key, kind of giving them like love. It's like motivation a little bit like, but letting them know that he loved them, he appreciated them being there. And yeah, he seemed really at ease yesterday as I guess as much as he can be. But he's very, very involved. Like extremely.
Jess Hilarious
The pictures when people are sketching. Do you look like that?
DJ Envy
Yeah. He very much, very much. A lot of gray salt and pepper vibes.
Lauren LaRosa
He.
DJ Envy
He looks like a man that no shade to Kohl's, but he very much looks like a man that shops at Kohl's. Little crew neck sweater, no shade. I have no issue.
Charlamagne tha God
It's like a man that shop at Cole Rosa.
DJ Envy
Don't do me because I got on Zara H and M right now and I proudly wear mine. No, what I'm saying is that there's.

Charlamagne tha God
Yes. Yo.
Jess Hilarious
What'S up, Morgan?
Lauren LaRosa
Hey, y' all. Hey, all right, so listen. In a black information network exclusive, I spoke with Asha Castleberry Hernandez. She's a seasoned U. S. Army veteran, national security strategist, and a foreign policy expert who has served in the Middle east and advised on international security at the highest levels. And it doesn't hurt that she's black. So, you know, we want to get some perspectives from somebody who's been there that look like us. Right. She wrote the book on why national security matters. And in our conversation, she encouraged Americans, you know, we spoke about the tensions in the Middle east and what was going on and how it impacts us here at home. And in that conversation, she encouraged Americans to change how we look at presidential candidates going forward and the way we and the way they deal with foreign affairs. You know, so many times we look and think about what they can do for us here domestically without considering the bigger picture, which when they represent us on a world stage prior to us voting for them. Let's take a listen to her comments from that interview.
DJ Envy
It's not just about domestic policy. It's also about foreign policy, and we are experiencing that right now.
Jess Hilarious
As far as our hard lesson of.
DJ Envy
Oh, yes, when I want to vote.
Jess Hilarious
For Kamala Harris or President Trump, yeah.
DJ Envy
I had to take that into account.
Charlamagne tha God
Not just abortion, but also how do they manage their troops?
DJ Envy
How do they work with our allies and partners? How do they represent themselves globally, especially at international institutions?
Jess Hilarious
There's more to it when it comes.
Morgan Wood
To the presidency, not just solely about domestic issues.
DJ Envy
And we need to break out of.
Charlamagne tha God
That single issue voting behavior that's not.
DJ Envy
Working out when it comes to the presidency.
Lauren LaRosa
Just a little word. A little word. But you could catch more of that interview this Sunday, 9am and 9pm on the Black Information Network's Black Perspective bin news dot com.
Jess Hilarious
You better get the exclusives, girl.
Lauren LaRosa
Thank you. Meanwhile, President Trump is trying to get his big, beautiful bill over the finish line. He scheduled for an event for the spending bill today at the White House at 4pm the measure passed the House and now sits in the Senate, where Republicans can only afford to lose three votes. Democrats say the bill cuts Medicaid and other social safety nets by billions of dollars. Republicans say they are much needed reforms to the programs that will cut the deficit. Of course, that deadline that they're trying to get that bill on his desk is July 4th. In other news, Democratic Congresswoman Lamonica McIver of New Jersey is pleading not guilty to three federal assault charges. Those charges stem from MacGyver's inspection visit last month to Delaney hall, which is an ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey, in the district that she represents. Now, there was a rowdy protest going on outside and the feds are accusing the congresswoman of assaulting ICE agents. Charges could mean eight years in prison if convicted. Outside the Newark courthouse on yesterday, McIver told reporters she's certain she'll be vindicated. She was also joined by Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who was also arrested at that same protest, but his charges were later dropped. Let's take a listen to their comments, McIver and Baraka.
Jess Hilarious
But we look forward to the next time in court.
DJ Envy
We're going to take this all the way through.
Morgan Wood
They know they're wrong and we're going.
Charlamagne tha God
To prove them wrong because the facts are on our side. These people have no, no grounds to arrest the congresswoman. If you look at the video, she will be vindicated.
Lauren LaRosa
So the congresswoman's trial is tentatively set for early November and she is being represented by former U.S. attorney for New Jersey, Paul Fishman. So I'll keep you guys posted as to what takes place with that and my last story about 2 million Americans. This is going to impact a lot of people, maybe even me, are at risk of getting their wages garnished due to unpaid student loans. TransUnion reports 6 million borrowers are classified as newly delinquent as of April, meaning a borrower is 90 days behind on their payment. Not, not zombie, but even nevertheless, about a third of those newly delinquent borrowers could enter default as soon as July. So they're talking about garnishing pay as a result of not paying your student loans. And I know a lot of people, you know, will put them in deferment. I mean, things are already hard as is with, you know, tariffs and all these other things, you know. So just keep an eye on your student loans. Try to put them in deferment or forbearance if you can. Saying just a word of advice, but that's your four page news. I'm Morgan Wood. Y' all can follow me on socials at morganmedia.

Jess Hilarious
Thank you so much. Now when we come back, Joy Taylor will be joining us, co host of speak on FS1. And season two of the Two Personal podcast is out right now. So we're gonna talk to Joey. We're gonna talk to Joy Taylor when we come back.
Back.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne tha God
Good morning The Breakfast Club.
Morgan Wood
Hi, guys. I'm great. What an honor to be here.
Charlamagne tha God
Happy to have you. Do you ever get tired of talking just because you do it for a living? I see you on podcasts and interviews.
Morgan Wood
I do talk a lot. Yeah, of course, of course we all get tired. But you have to reset. I'm like, I'll go home in total silence, not listen to any music, like sit in the dark like a weirdo. And then, you know, just reset and then we're back to it.
Jess Hilarious
What's it like usually being the only female in the room?
Morgan Wood
You know, it's, it's fun. Sometimes you have to like ma. Match the masculine energy, which can be its own kind of exhausting thing. But I think it's important, right? It's important to bring different perspectives into conversations. We see what happens when you bring a bunch of people in the room that don't have any diversity of thought. It's a dangerous space to be. So I, I actually think it's, it's an honor, you know, even if it is tiring sometimes to have to, to fight the good fight. But, you know, that's a, that's a role that is important. So I appreciate it.
Charlamagne tha God
How do you balance, like holding your own in a, in male dominated debates without constantly being forced to just prove you belong?
Morgan Wood
Well, I think you always have to prove you belong if you're in a male dominant dominated space. But it's about earning the respect of your, your counterparts too. Like when, when people really respect what your perspective is and they know that you're not being combative with them from a personal place, then it's a different, it's a different way of speaking. But also, like I always say, sports fans, our love language is animosity. Like when you talk about sports, you probably arguing like you just all the time. Like even if you are the fan of a fan of the same team for the same amount of time, you have a different perspective. And we just like to argue about sports. So I think when we're talking about other things, personal things, relationships, family, religion, politics, like, that's different. But when it comes to sports, like, you probably always going to disagree with someone about something.
Jess Hilarious
What made you want to do communications? Like what got you into that door and said, this is the life that I want, this is the career that I want.
Morgan Wood
So I have the same origin story. You know, I was doing the news with the hairbrush in the mirror thing as a kid. As a kid. But I think.
Charlamagne tha God
Because of your brother?
Morgan Wood
No, no, I just, I'VE I was always like, you know, a spicy little individual on the runt of my family.
Jess Hilarious
And you sound like Angie Martinez a little bit. Every time I hear you talk a little bit, I hear a little Angie Martinez. Real calm, comfortable. I hear it a little bit.
Morgan Wood
What an honor. I love it.
Charlamagne tha God
You're trying to see if you Spanish.
Morgan Wood
I'm not.
Charlamagne tha God
Is he Dominican? He describes.
Jess Hilarious
I'm not Latino.
I'm black.
Charlamagne tha God
That's all that is.
Jess Hilarious
I don't know what you heard, what he said.
Charlamagne tha God
I am black.
Jess Hilarious
I just heard a little in your voice.
Charlamagne tha God
Sound like jlo.
Jess Hilarious
No, no.
I hate it here. Hate it here. I hate it. Are y' all hiring? I. I want to leave.
Morgan Wood
No, we're not. I. I'm not in charge. I. I've always loved radio. Radio. To me, Howard Stern has always presented this really interesting space that you can bring people in the room who are not there. Obviously, now we all have cameras and stuff. But the origin of radio, like, listening to a great radio show, you felt like you had a group of friends or a family.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
Morgan Wood
And the way that the noises in the room could just, like, bring people, like, I wanted to be a part of that. And I love being able to be a personality over, you know, a traditional journalist. But I do think, like, studying journalism and studying communications really gave me a good base for how to do this job.
Jess Hilarious
How difficult was it for you to finally break through and break in?
Morgan Wood
Well, yeah, it's really hard. It's hard. It's hard.
Jess Hilarious
I mean, because nowadays people think they just do one internship and all of a sudden they pop and they should be getting millions of dollars.
Morgan Wood
We've already been those elder millennials.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah.
Morgan Wood
You know, we were traumatized, and we feel like we need to pass that trauma to the next generation. Nobody wants to work anymore.
Charlamagne tha God
No.
Morgan Wood
I think. I think we've swung a little bit too far in the other direction. I think that it's more about the process. Every step that I've had in my career, every internship, every part time job, every producer job, every, you know, freelance job, taught me something about what I do. Now I'm really grateful that I started as a producer because now not only do I think I hire amazing producers and I know how to source that kind of talent, but I respect what they do. I'm not going to pop up five minutes before the show and expect them to have, you know, changes ready for me or stats ready for me. It helps me prep for shows better.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
Morgan Wood
Because I have that background. So, you know, I think the Process is lost a bit. That's a recipe that we've lost, is the process. And it's exhausting.
Jess Hilarious
Right.
Morgan Wood
It's hard to work really hard and not get the job that you think you want or be passed over or, you know, do 20 years in a business. But we all know, for the most part, it used to be, and maybe in some ways, it still is. This overnight success is really 10 or 20 years in the making. Like, everybody has a breakthrough point in their career, and if you've been doing the work, when you do break through now you have a lasting career because you did the work. And I don't think that it's a bad thing that people can pop off like that. But if you want to have lasting power, and if you really want to turn it into your career in a business, you. You have to understand the nuances of all of this. Like, this is a business. It's not just coming in here and talking on a microphone and being entertaining. There's so much that goes behind the scenes of making a great, lasting show. And when you put in the work, I think it's easier to do that. But breaking. Breaking through is hard for everybody.
Charlamagne tha God
I haven't seen anybody escape the process yet. Like, you know, everybody always talks about these people that just came out of nowhere, but if you go and look at their origin story, they was doing something for a long time before they took off to that next level. I haven't seen nobody just come in and say, okay, instantly, boom. You want.
Jess Hilarious
That's what they want.
Charlamagne tha God
That's what they want.
Morgan Wood
Yeah, well, that's. I mean, social media makes everything seem like it's.
Charlamagne tha God
That's right.
Morgan Wood
So easy. But even influencers, like, when people talk, talk, talk trash about influencers that are making a bunch of money or have big followings and, like, are you gonna make six videos a day? Yeah, because, yeah, they're not digging ditches, but these people are making content. They're being creative. They're spending time online. Like, all of that is energy and effort. So I don't want to diminish what they're doing just because, you know, it's. It's not hard work, but it is work. And some. You either want to do it or you don't. So I just think the business has changed in some ways for good and some ways for bad, as it always does. It's always evolving and, you know, evolve or die.
Charlamagne tha God
Is there a stereotype about women in sports media that you feel like you've personally broken?
Morgan Wood
No. Maybe. Maybe that I. I can hang in some. Some intense conversations and not get emotional, but I think that's just my personal makeup. Obviously, there's this idea that women are more emotional than men, which I think our current administration has done wonders to disprove. But, you know, there's this idea, particularly in the opinion side, that you women can't be in these, like, really intense debates or conversations because we either don't have a strong opinion or point of view or will take it personally if someone come at us. And because I work in the opinion space specifically, I feel like maybe that is a stereotype that I've helped to dispel because that's a thing that keeps women out of the opinion space is like, it's. It's gonna look weird if you're, like, yelling at me or something like that. And I feel passionate about what I think and my point of view. And if you don't have to agree with me or disagree with me as long, it's about keeping a level of respect, too. Like, whenever you guys are having intense conversations, there's a line that you don't cross even if you feel very passionate about it. You're not gonna take it to a space where, like, we can't. Okay.
Charlamagne tha God
Oh, not in here. We'd be like, shut the up, dumbass.
Jess Hilarious
Shut up.
Morgan Wood
That's the end of.
Charlamagne tha God
That's how we talk.
Jess Hilarious
Like, we go on.
Morgan Wood
But you have a level of respect for each other that you can do that then Sometimes. Sometimes. But whatever it is, it works.
Jess Hilarious
All right, we got more with Joy Taylor when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Joy Taylor. Charlemagne.
Charlamagne tha God
We live in this world where everybody's just yelling out hot takes, right? What. What role does empathy play in your broadcasting style?
Morgan Wood
I think it's very important. I think it's what it's. I don't believe in being humble. Like, I think that's a thing people use to dim your light, keep you small. So I don't like humble, but I do think empathy is very important. And, you know, having seen the other side of it, you know, I've seen my brother get traded. I've seen him retire. I've seen him deal with injuries, deal with family things. We all do a job where you might not be having the best day, but you still have to come in here and be funny. You still have to be coming here and be entertaining. Can't just just call off because it's not going your way today. And athletes deal with that too. And we have such a high standard for professional athletes and college athletes, too, that we, we sometimes remove the human element of what it is they're doing. Like, they're competing at the highest level. Like, I do it, I'm like, make your free throw. What are you doing? But like, we don't know what's going in their head. You don't know. They woke up today with a panic attack. You don't know if they're injured. You don't know. We don't know these things that are going on. So. So it's, it's, it's about keeping a level of composure that these are not robots, these are people. They're dealing with things. When you get traded, you move to a new city, probably your family didn't come with you right away. You don't know how to get to the stadium. You're dealing with new rehab people and a new massage therapists and new coaches and new teammates, and everything's new. Maybe it's in a city that you went from somewhere where it's hot and now it's cold, you're dressing to that. There's so many different things and human elements to all of this that actually affect the outcome. And it's. I just think it's important to keep that in mind. It shouldn't keep you from doing your job, but it should keep you. It should keep a level of sanity to what it is you're saying.
Jess Hilarious
But when you look at the accolades that you've accomplished and how you got to where you are, do you feel like people don't see that part of it and they just see where you are now and it. Does that bother you at all?
Morgan Wood
I don't care. Because the people who sign checks know what I. What I do.
Charlamagne tha God
Damn.
Morgan Wood
So. And people in the business respect what I do. Like my peers respect me, people who are far more accomplished than any anyone in the business see what I do and know what I do and know what the path was and, and what it requires to do what we do every day. So I think it's important to remain grounded. It is. Because you can get caught up in what people say about you and diminishing things and, you know, whatever is happening on social media. But when the work has been done, it's been done. And, And I've had the real honor of working with some really amazing people in the business who saw me come in every day and do the work and knew what it took. And so I have that respect, and that's what matters to me.
Jess Hilarious
I was gonna ask your take on Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
Morgan Wood
Oh, Lord, Lord, she put her hands on the death.
Charlamagne tha God
Lord, give me strength.
Morgan Wood
It's, you know, it's a really nuanced situation. I think that Caitlyn brings out this real, like, how do I say this? And not get canceled. She brings out this energy from people that she needs to be protected, and I don't think she feels that way. I doubt she likes being talked about that way because she's a competitor and she's an amazing at what she does. The pinning of Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, it sometimes doesn't even make sense. Like, they'll be talking about Caitlin Clark and just bring up angel for no reason. What's. There's no affiliation to it. We were talking on the show the other day about if, like, the league needs to protect Caitlin Clark or, like, the violence against Caitlin Clark. Like, listen, if you're new here, that's fine, but the WNBA is a. Is a. Is a very passionate, very aggressive league. Like, they are fighting. It is not. It is not. It doesn't look like the NBA and it's not refereed like the NBA is. So I think the whole conversation with Angel Reese and Kane Clark has gotten way out of control. Angel is a great player. She's. Caitlin is also a great player. They're not the same type of player, and they've. They're starting their careers.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
Morgan Wood
Angel really upset. Upset people with how she taunted Caitlyn after the championship, as she should. And if a man did it, we wouldn't have even talked about it. People didn't like watching angel in Caitlyn's face. And we know why she's black and Caitlyn's white because she's black and ends because she's unapologetic. And this idea that you gotta show up and be all demure and there's some level of sportsmanship that women are required to match that is. Is a standard that we don't even have these conversations about men. Like, we would not even be talking about. I can't even imagine had a producer coming to me, like, we're gonna talk about the trash talk that went on in the game last night. Like in an NBA game, in an NFL game. We're talking about. Yeah, trash talk. But they want to do that with the wnba. It's like they're competitors.
Charlamagne tha God
I'll be honest with you. I don't even think they do with the wnba. They just do it. With Caitlyn. Because I've seen, like, that game between the Fever and the. Was the Connecticut Sunday night was way more chippy, way more wild happening that. That. That game when angel was playing, I forgot who they were playing. And the girl pulled her hair and then she pushed her. None of those stories was as big as Caitlyn and Angel's little kerfuffle from earlier this year.
Morgan Wood
No, but, like, that's. That's. It's all about the positioning. I mean, personally, I think it's amazing for the league. The moment that that happened, I was like, this is the Magic Johnson, Larry Bird moment for the wnba. And it has absolutely been that. Is it racially charged? 100%. There's no way to deny that. Has it brought a ton of new eyeballs and conversations to the wnba? Yes. And to me, as a storyteller, I think that's important.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
Morgan Wood
Because we will find our way through the race, racism and misogyny and all of that of the conversation. But people talking about the league, people paying attention to it, actually having a point of view on it, I think is important. So, you know, people come at me because I say that Caitlin Clark would not be. She would not be as talked about as she is without that moment from Angel.
Jess Hilarious
Angel.
Morgan Wood
And that's just. That's just the facts.
Charlamagne tha God
I agree.
Morgan Wood
I do this every day. We were not doing whole topics on our show about the WNBA before Angel did that with Caitlyn. That doesn't mean that Caitlyn wasn't a great player. It doesn't mean that people didn't know who Caitlyn was.
Jess Hilarious
Was.
Morgan Wood
But I've been doing this a long time, almost two decades. That moment created the conversation that we're having now. And yes, it was about people not liking watching angel, this black woman, in this white woman's face. That was a part of it. And now it's created this whole conversation, which overall, I think is a good thing. I mean, it's the same thing that happened with Magic and Larry. The NBA was failing, and they positioned them as such. Now we're having whole conversations, and the Lakers are selling for $10 billion. So it's all, you know, a convoluted, nuanced conversation. But in the end, I just wish that people would now adjust to watching the game for what it is rather than positioning the two of them against each other. But they'll probably deal with that their whole careers.
Charlamagne tha God
I also don't have a problem with the WNBA protecting Caitlyn. And I'll tell you Why? I remember in the 90s when they had there was the the Michael Jordan rule, it wasn't never a anything that people confirmed, but the NBA had kind of changed. Who loves getting a great deal? Everybody, right? Well, it's that time of year when it's super easy to find great deals on all sorts of amazing things. That's right. Amazon prime day is coming.

Morgan Wood
Yeah, we don't need to know about it.
Charlamagne tha God
If they do, we don't need to know. I agree.
Morgan Wood
If they do that. But what's not gonna happen? What is not gonna happen is the other players on the other team are gonna see Caitlyn walk on the court and be like, we need to be very gentle. Yeah, I'm just gonna make sure that we don't, you know, this is the product that's not gonna happen. And that's very Silly. The thought that it was.
Charlamagne tha God
All right.
Jess Hilarious
We got more with Joy Taylor when we come back, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne tha God
Good morning. Morning, everybody.
Jess Hilarious
It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club from Fox Sports. We're still kicking it with Joy Taylor.
Charlamagne tha God
Charlamagne, you're very unapologetic when it comes to talking about politics, race, gender, sex. Do you ever feel pressure to just stick to sports? Are those days over?
Morgan Wood
No, those days are over. But I also think, like, I don't want to force those things into a sports show. That's not the product that people came to me for. Like, if they're watching a sports show, it needs to be about sports. It can be entertainment. We can add personality. We can, you know, have our jokes and stuff. But they're coming to us because they want to talk about Game Seven. Like, I don't need to put my opinion about what's going on in the world into the show just because I have that platform. I have other platforms for that. And, you know, I think. I think I have to respect the audience in that way. I think that's important to do. If you create a platform where they come to you expecting you to talk about, you know, activism and politics or relationships and sports, then you can do that. But it's a. It's a sports show, and I respect that.
Charlamagne tha God
Is that why you. I know you do the pod by yourself now, but that why you and Taylor started the pod together, to have that space to just talk about, I guess, other things?
Morgan Wood
Yeah, I mean, you know, we're all multifaceted people. You know, when you're building a brand and you're ascending in a specific lane, I think it's important to really dig in on that for success, you know, to be hyper focused on doing that. But, you know, I've reached the point in my career where people know what it is that. That I do when it comes to sports. So it was time to. To give a little bit more. And like I said, I started on the radio side, and when you're talking for four hours on live radio, you. You tend to venture outside of sports, particularly locally. So it was an opportunity for me to get back to that.
Charlamagne tha God
What happened with that, with that podcast? Because, I mean, you don't know, but, you know, you and Taylor are very popular in male group chats. Are we? So when that podcast, I had no idea that was a thing. It was like, like, literally, I remember the day it launched, I had like three or four different group chats, all sending that one link.
Morgan Wood
Good.
Charlamagne tha God
Yes.
Morgan Wood
We love when the men support us. Taylor is a very, very busy woman and that's all it is. She has Amazon Thursday Night Football. She's now doing the NBA with them. She has her show. It's a big commitment to do a podcast as well. So that's, you know, we had long conversations about how we were going to make it work and she just has way too much on a good thing, of course. Booked and busy. The best in the business, but she just has too much on her plate.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah, I mean, it's something you gotta be committed to. Like if you're not committed to it.
Morgan Wood
I know. And her and I both are, you know, we believe in excellence and if you do something halfway because you don't have the bandwidth, then it's not going to be what it needs to be. So, yeah, I mean, I had the bandwidth and wanted to continue doing it, but yeah, she just, she doesn't have. There's only 24 hours in a day.
Charlamagne tha God
Do you feel pressure to show people that you're not just a pretty face?
Morgan Wood
No. People who think that are going to think that no matter what. Anyway, kind of what comes out of my mouth. They're, they've already decided that that's what it is. And, you know, if I was just pretty, I'm the most beautiful woman in the world. There are literal models, there are supermodels that don't do this job. Like there are, there are people who are considered to be literal walking angels on this planet and they don't do this job. So you either have the skill to do it or you don't. And if people think that I'm here just because I'm pretty, like, I must be very beautiful. So I take it as a compliment.
Charlamagne tha God
One thing I love about you, Joe, you did not shrink when got hot. Was that intentional? You like, I cannot let them see me sweat or shrink right now.
Morgan Wood
Yes, it was intentional to show up as I did. I'm not an unintentional person, particularly when it comes to what people see from me publicly. But when you know yourself, it's easier to continue to show up as you are. And there's always going to be things that happen in life that happen in this business that happen when you're a front facing person. And when you get into the business, that is, that is the risk we take of putting ourselves in front of the camera, of putting yourself out there, that things at some point might not be the best for you. And yeah, I mean, what's meant for me is still coming. So I won't say that there were not dark times, but I'm very blessed to have an amazing family and amazing friends and mentors and an amazing team and people that know me and have known me for my whole life, reminding me of, of who I am and what I deserve. And I'm really grateful for that because even when there are moments of doubt of what it is you deserve or what it is you're capable of and what it is that you, you know, how you should show up in the world when people are there reminding you it's, it's important. So I'm, I'm grateful to have an amazing group of friends, an amazing group of, of like just support around me. But yeah, everything isn't, everything is intentional.
Charlamagne tha God
Is it hard not to address?
Morgan Wood
No, I've never felt compelled to, to litigate that genuinely.
Jess Hilarious
Did you feel betrayed at all when everything happened?
Morgan Wood
I have felt a lot of different emotions. I think it's a grief process when something like anything like that happens. I'll say I've been through a lot of traumatic things in my life. A lot. And I think anytime you go through a trauma or you know, grieving period of something, you can't decide who you are when it's happening.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
Morgan Wood
And that's been the biggest thing for me, is I'm like an extremist. Is this or that. I'm working on it, but it's this or that. And I know years from now I'll look back and I will feel differently how, than how I feel right now. And I'm trying to be patient with myself in that way.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah.
Morgan Wood
Because it's, it's a lot to adjust to. Like it's a new reality. And I'm, I'm trying to choose myself and be gentle with myself, if that makes sense.
Charlamagne tha God
Now, if you could talk to 22 year old Joy entering sports media, what's the one survival skill you'd give her that you had to learn the hard way?
Morgan Wood
Had to learn the hard way. Probably patience. You have to be patient. And I do preach that to young people in the business because you start to get, okay, I'm not making this money or I'm, you know, I'm not getting this opportunity. Like, if, if you want to be successful, you cannot quit. Like, that's a, that's like the main part of what success is, is not quitting. And it's a long journey. Like it takes time to come up in this business. It seems like it's easy because of social media, but you've got to put in the. The work. You have to continue to put yourself out there. You have to continue to network, you have to continue to go to events, you have to continue to tell people what you want to do. And the advice that I give everybody, which is something that I for some reason, just knew very early in the creative space, there's so many different jobs, right? Like, there's different things that people do. There's so many different spaces you can get in. Take a time to know what you want to do. It doesn't mean you're going to do that forever. You have all kinds of different businesses that you do, but at some point, you, like a doctor, put your head down and worked for a specific goal. And the creative business is so easy to get distracted. Okay, I'm gonna take this job. Okay. This is. This pays more. Like, it's gonna take you off your path. And then if you're a doctor, if you're a lawyer, if you're a teacher or your accountant, these are like jobs where, okay, this is the next step. So it's. It's clear. It's hard, but it's clear. This is not that kind of business. Now more than ever, because there's so many different platforms. So I always just tell young people, be patient and decide what it is your goal is, because you can get swayed into a million different spaces. And having a goal is important.
Charlamagne tha God
That's right.
Jess Hilarious
Does anybody ever tell you, look like Laura Golden.
Charlamagne tha God
God damn it. Just ask her if y' all can. Want to know if she's Spanish?
Morgan Wood
No, I'm not Spanish. Not Latina.
Jess Hilarious
I a say she was Spanish. I was saying, do you know Laura?
Morgan Wood
Yes, I do.
Jess Hilarious
I do like a young Laura Govin.
Morgan Wood
Thank you. She's.
Charlamagne tha God
She's beautiful and she's Mexican and she.
Morgan Wood
But I am not Mexican.
Jess Hilarious
Oh, my God.
Charlamagne tha God
I did not.
Jess Hilarious
Like my Mexican before you.
Morgan Wood
No, I'm not Mexican.
Jess Hilarious
Okay. Like, you can be a little sister. That's why.
Morgan Wood
Yeah, I know. I.
Charlamagne tha God
You're not of any Spanish descent.
Morgan Wood
I have of no Spanish descent whatsoever.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah. Joy Taylor, new season of her two personal podcast is available now. And yeah, man, thank you for coming. And don't be a stranger, Joy.
Morgan Wood
Any anytime.
Charlamagne tha God
It's the Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Go ahead, Jess girl.
Jess Hilarious
Yes, go ahead. I cannot wait.
Jesus.
All right, time around.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Lauren becoming a straight Face.
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
DJ Envy
I'm the homegirl that knows a bit, little bit about everything.
Charlamagne tha God
She be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
So Simon Guadia.
Jess Hilarious
Yes. Okay, you heard me.
Charlamagne tha God
Yes.
Jess Hilarious
Yes, you're right. You said it right.
DJ Envy
Okay. Cuz I was like, jess, say it. Cuz I always get his last name wrong.
Jess Hilarious
You asked Jess, she said yes.
DJ Envy
Yes, she does it.
Jess Hilarious
Well, say okay.
DJ Envy
Exactly. Very on T. Period. Simon Guadia, the ex husband of Portia Williams, has sat down with Page Six and he says that he regrets marrying Portia and it was nothing but a five million dollar rehab project. Take a listen.
Charlamagne tha God
Do you regret marrying her? Absolutely. Because she didn't respond. Because I kept asking, why did you file for.
Jess Hilarious
For divorce?
Charlamagne tha God
Why did you die? She wouldn't say anything. I tried to reach her.
Jess Hilarious
Her mom.
Charlamagne tha God
Her mom would not respond either. I later figured out this felt like a coup. I was totally blindsided.
Jess Hilarious
I was no.
Charlamagne tha God
No member of her family, whether on the mother's side, on the father's side.
Jess Hilarious
Reached out to me.
Charlamagne tha God
I essentially sent her a text message.
Jess Hilarious
I said, this was a $5 million rehab project that I took on.
Charlamagne tha God
She never shared her concerns or issues with me. Before filing for divorce, you discuss issues and say, hey, if this does not change or something does not happen, this is what might come of it. We never had those discussions and I'm.
Jess Hilarious
Happy to share with you text messages where I was essentially blindsided by the divorce fight.
I'm not gonna say, you know, he, he lying. That may be true. Maybe Portia never asked him things, but he not going to tell me that. Both of them. Like, I feel like, okay, it was your money that got her and it was the way she looked that got you, to be honest.
Yeah, but does that mean he has to give up so much money and like, think about it. 14 months and he's giving up $5 million for a 14 month marriage that's not crazy. To nobody else.
Charlamagne tha God
You gotta think about what Portia gave up. You're giving up your vagina. You know, you got that man sweating on you. You know what I mean? No, for real, like, people don't think about that. Wife duties. Wife gotta do things. A lot of things.
Jess Hilarious
And honestly, our reputation taking a hit because of what people may think and with all the speculations leading around it. But it's like, yo, if the argument is, oh, then you know, put Porsche, took. Took that lady husband or whatever. He went right over there. You know what I'm saying? It takes you to do that.
DJ Envy
Like what.
Jess Hilarious
What speculation are you talking about? When.
Because he know what's up?
No, because he left the girl. I mean, because it was so many speculations.
Charlamagne tha God
Tell me, Jessica, I don't know nothing about that.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, what's the speculation you talking about?
No, because Envy is. He watches the show. But I didn't know if you've seen that season, but Simon was married to somebody, right? And Porsche came to their house when they were married. She introduced Fallon, that introduced Portia to Simon. When she was her husband. When he was her husband. And then next thing you know, you know, a little bit down the line now, they married.
Charlamagne tha God
Simon saw that ice cream sandwich. I.
Jess Hilarious
Exactly. But that's the thing, though. You was. You was supposedly, like, supposedly happily married, too, and you left Shorty, and you was. You know, you caught it, Portia. Well, it's just I thought the speculation was.
I thought Portia was upset and said he was doing some things that he didn't say to her when they were married. Like, some things that he didn't disclose, whether it was business or the fact that he wasn't a citizen. That's the reason why I thought. Divorced him, not the other stuff.
Charlamagne tha God
Marry a Nigerian, you kind of got to expect those things.
Jess Hilarious
It's like a little stereotype.
DJ Envy
She did allege that when she was here. Envy. But she. Simon talked about a little bit of what you talking about, Jess, with the whole filing situation.
Jess Hilarious
Right.
DJ Envy
Let's listen to Simon on why he. Why Portia filed for divorce.
Morgan Wood
Divorce.
Charlamagne tha God
What do you think Portia's reason was to file for divorce? I think I was targeted. I was targeted from day one for financial reasons. When I filed for divorce from my.
Jess Hilarious
Previous ex wife, she was in my.
Charlamagne tha God
DM praying for me. And I. I think I was in.
Jess Hilarious
A vulnerable position at that time, and I entertained it. And so it just kind of snowballed.
Charlamagne tha God
From there, you know, getting engaged in 30 days, you know, I mean, who does that?
Jess Hilarious
I was out of my.
Charlamagne tha God
My, my goddamn mind to have done that.
Jess Hilarious
And of course, I. I'm paying dearly for it.
DJ Envy
Yo, people talk about Sierra's prayer. Portia, baby, run that prayer, man.
Jess Hilarious
30 days when he was sitting up here really talking about. I was bamboozled and I would. I didn't know. Like, come on, like, stop playing, yo.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah, it's like he acting like he didn't make choices.
Jess Hilarious
Right?
Charlamagne tha God
Like, regardless of how Things turned out you made every single one of those choices. You decided to get engaged. Stage. You decided to get married. That was you.
Jess Hilarious
Nobody else.
Charlamagne tha God
Crazy. Yeah. Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
The fact that they got married is fine. And the fact that it didn't work is crazy. But the fact that the court decided to give. Give $5 million after 14 months of marriage, that's not crazy.
DJ Envy
They both signed.
Jess Hilarious
Especially when they both have money.
DJ Envy
But the judge upheld a prenup that you both agreed on.
Jess Hilarious
Correct?
DJ Envy
That was a decision that was made by both parties.
Charlamagne tha God
Exactly. Choices were made.
Jess Hilarious
We start getting married.
DJ Envy
Yes, let's. And then Simon. I've been telling y' all guys how this prenup went down. Simon also talked about the prenup as well. Let's take a listen to that.
Morgan Wood
There was some reports stating that the.
Charlamagne tha God
Judge overseeing your divorce case has upheld the prenup that you guys signed before entering marriage. Are you able to share a little bit about what those terms are or look like? That you receive $40,000 a month in alimony for the length of the marriage, which. Which was 14 months. She gets to stay in the house, all expenses paid, including the mortgage, up to 36 months. And if she chooses to own the home, she would have to refinance the property in her name. And she will have to give me 50% equity in the. In the home.
Morgan Wood
We are vowing to appeal this decision.
Charlamagne tha God
For sure 1000% is going to be appealed. I don't understand why we. Why adults get upset over choices that they made.
Jess Hilarious
Right. And they willingly walked into the choice. Man, just send me your dm.
The math ain't math. And it's just. Yeah, I get it.
Charlamagne tha God
But he created the math problem. Right?
Jess Hilarious
But the pre.
Charlamagne tha God
He did. He did the curriculum.
Jess Hilarious
But the prenup was 40, 000amonth for the time that they were married. Right. You didn't say anything in the prenup that I got to split my asset, which is the house.
DJ Envy
No, the equity conversation was in the prenup. That. It was this. The 50 equity thing was in. That's what I'm saying.
Charlamagne tha God
If you don't even know what he's talking about.
Jess Hilarious
I'm listening to what he's saying.
DJ Envy
I reported on this two times already in here. You don't listen. Nothing. There was an equity agreement that she would receive 50 of equity on the home or she could buy him out of the home. That was. All of this is outlined in the prenup. He's upset that the judge upheld the prenup.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah. Feelings don't matter when there's actual paperwork. Like, so I don't.
Jess Hilarious
Just because somebody jumped me a DM and pray for you don't mean you go and propose to them 30 days later. Like, pretty v be people being praying for them all the time.
Charlamagne tha God
But pretty b don't look like Portia.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, come on.
Charlamagne tha God
We got.
DJ Envy
I mean, pretty big is gorgeous, though, because that.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, no, absolutely. But he's saying, like.
DJ Envy
I know what he mean.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, well. Yeah, well, I mean, it is what it is. I don't.
Charlamagne tha God
I don't portion should be a pastor.
Jess Hilarious
She should what?
Charlamagne tha God
She should be a pastor.
Morgan Wood
I'm going.
DJ Envy
Please make.
Charlamagne tha God
We all need some prayer, right?
DJ Envy
Not red church.
Charlamagne tha God
Drop the bomb for the prayer. We understand each other. Me, Red, and Portia understand each other. We all Cancers.
DJ Envy
Listen, shout out to my homegirl that did this interview over at Page Six. Bernie Zillow, because this was. This was a good one. We got some insight from Simon Guadio.
Jess Hilarious
And speaking of divorces and cancers, Happy birthday to Iman. Sha.
Charlamagne tha God
Iman's a cancer too.
Jess Hilarious
Yes, she is.
Charlamagne tha God
Today.

Jess Hilarious

There's a bunch of donkeys out here in the street.
Jess Hilarious
That is why Charlemagne is here.
Charlamagne tha God
If we live a Life where we bite our tongue based off who we may have seen. We never would say it.
Jess Hilarious
On the Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne tha God
In the words of Charlemagne, the God, he's a donkey. Oh, man. Charlamagne, you giving donkey today to who now? Well, Busta Rhymes, donkey today for the Thursday, June 26th. Have you hugged the cancer today? No. Did you hug Chris before you left the house?
Jess Hilarious
I did not. It was way too early.
Charlamagne tha God
Well, it is our season, okay? You know, we sensitive drop on the clues bombs for us. Hug us. Tell us you love us. Don't wish us happy birthday early. Tell us on our actual day. I had two friends do that already wish me happy birthday early. Thank you, but no. I want to hear it on Sunday, June 29. But back to the matter at hand. Donkey of the Day goes to a Wisconsin man named Michael Navrotsky. He is 67 years old, and he's the type of person I hate, okay? The type of person who gets angry, who gets defensive and violent because you simply told them an obvious truth, okay? It's one thing to have an honest opinion. It's another to state an obvious truth, okay? For example, I'm 5, 6, 3/4, okay? Sometimes 5 7. If I don't get a manicure, that extra skin at the bottom of my feet can get me to 5 7. That is an obvious truth, okay? I can't lie to people and tell them I'm six five. They can see me even if I told them I was trans tall. Hush. They would say shorty tripping. Okay? So there is a. There is no reason to get mad at obvious truths, okay? Especially obvious truths that you can do something about. Another example. If I smell Jess. Hilarious breath, and I say, jess, it's not stink, but if it was okay? And I say just your breath stink. That's an obvious truth that you could fix? Yes. No need for you to get mad or defensive. If, if, if, if, if. Okay? But it's just an obvious truth that can be corrected. Well, Michael Navrotsky doesn't like obvious truth. See, he was arrested by police in Kenosha and charged with battery, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim. He beat his wife, okay? And the reason he beat his wife is because his wife told him something that a lot of y' all need to hear in this heat. And it's two simple words. You stay. Okay. I don't know if it's because folks is trying natural deodorants. I don't know if. Right. God, Old Spice changed the recipes. I even Got caught out there a few weeks ago. I wasn't even doing nothing strenuous, but I smelled the kush, okay? Loud pack smelling mustard. All right. You ever smell under your own arms and start craving Funyuns? Yeah, that was me. Okay? And that's also you, but nobody telling you. Okay? See, Michael Navrosky's wife, wife told him the truth. And she had no choice because when police showed up after he beat her, his wife, her name is Kimberly, said that her and Michael had been arguing for weeks because Michael hadn't showered in two months. Did you hear what I just said? Michael hadn't showered in two months. Now she has earned the right to get a divorce, okay? You haven't watched your Funky ass in 2 months and now it's a heat wave. And you got the nerve to sleep on my clean sheets. This really happened, people. I'm reading the police report. At one point, during the verbal altercation, his wife Kimberly told him she did not want him sleeping on her clean sheets until he showered. My wife tells me that after I work out, okay? You know, sometime you work out. Then you go in your room and lay on the bed real quick to muster some energy to take a shower. Get your funky ass up right now. Okay? So imagine not washing for two months and then going to laying on some clean sheets, bruh, you stink, okay? You haven't washed in two months. Neck dirty behind the ears, dirty, ass cracking your gooch filthy. And when your wife tells you to do something about it, you get mad and beat her. The same energy you mustered up to choke your wife, you could have mustered up to wash your ass, okay? You haven't washed in 60 straight days. The irony of what you did to your wife is you need your ass beat, okay? You would rather beat your wife than beat that funk. Not washing for two months. Donald Trump should bomb you without congressional approval, okay? You waging chemical warfare on America by not washing for two months. That is an act of war, okay? You ain't washing two months. You might be better off to cease because you damn sure already smell dead at this point. He's not even mustache, he's not even funky. He's historical. That stink. Got a timeline, okay? That Smithsonian worthy stank. Michael, what is your problem? Did the soap in your house file a restraining order against you? Why are you staying away from it? Two months, no shower. You got to start seeing a therapist because you clearly going through some type of depression. But two months, no shower, that's not depression. It's biological terrorism. Listen, sometimes People sometimes. Sometimes the obvious, this truth stinks. But, Michael, not as bad as you do, okay? If somebody loves you enough to tell you that you smell like a roach's funeral, the least you can do is hit the shower and not hit them. Don't punish people for being honest. Especially when the only thing more offensive than your attitude is the smell of your ass. Please let Remy Ma give Michael Navrotsky the biggest. Hee haw.
Jess Hilarious
Hee haw.
Morgan Wood
Hee haw.
DJ Envy
You stupid mother.
Jess Hilarious
Are you dumb?
Charlamagne tha God
Why she wait two months, though?
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
Charlamagne tha God
Two months.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah. That is crazy. But a roach's funeral?
Charlamagne tha God
You ain't never smelled roach's funeral?
Jess Hilarious
No, I never smelled a roach.
Charlamagne tha God
Really? So you don't. You never had a roach trap in your house?
Jess Hilarious
No, not a.
Charlamagne tha God
You ain't never pick up a dead roach and sniff it? No.
Jess Hilarious
I'm sorry. That's different. That's different. No, I never did.
Charlamagne tha God
I'm sorry that y' all better than me.
Jess Hilarious
Y' all didn't have toys in South Monk Corner?
Charlamagne tha God
Of course, but we also had roaches.
Jess Hilarious
The hell is wrong with you? Why are you playing with dead roaches? You talking about sniffing them.
Charlamagne tha God
You ain't never study a dead roach just to smoke and see if I.
Jess Hilarious
Had a cat that maybe did that. Not a person. I didn't do that.
Charlamagne tha God
I feel judged.
Morgan Wood
That's all.
Jess Hilarious
You.
You ever had a funeral for one.
Of your roaches that you grew up with, have names?
Charlamagne tha God
Hold on. So time out, time. All jokes aside, y' all ain't never took a dead roach and put it in a matchbox and buried it outside? No.
Jess Hilarious
No. I never really got to know none of them like that. No. How do I say goodbye to a roach?
Charlamagne tha God
R. Kelly, I miss you. Nothing, really.
Jess Hilarious
No, I'm with Jess.
I didn't have toys out there when.
Charlamagne tha God
You were growing up.
Jess Hilarious
That's what I'm saying. Y' all just play with roaches. Did y' all? Roaches?
Charlamagne tha God
I don't know about they. I don't know no, they. I'm just telling y' all about certain social science experiments that I did as a child.
Jess Hilarious
Social science?
Jesus Christ.
Charlamagne tha God
Yes. You need a hug?
Jess Hilarious
All right. Well, that was donkey of the day.
Charlamagne tha God
Cocaine just.
Jess Hilarious
Whoa.
All right. But I still ain't never played with no roach.
Charlamagne tha God
I play with lines. I ain't play with no goddamn roach. Hey, yo, I smoke cocaine, too, though.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, exactly.
This where we going? Stop, please.
Charlamagne tha God
Stop.
Jess Hilarious
Stop, please.
Charlamagne tha God
The did you do by accident? He the roach.
Jess Hilarious
Oh, no, I'm not gay.
Okay.
Charlamagne tha God
I'm not Gay.
Jess Hilarious
But I didn't play with roach. I didn't play with lines. You know what you played with? Just fix my mess. What are you talking about?
Charlamagne tha God

What's that? What you got going on? And it better be some real mess. So I'm hanging up on your ass. What you want?
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah. Yo, so Jess, listen man, I got this neighbor right that I'm trying to get with first. Let me tell you, you look great in your booty shorts. On a while and out. All right? So do I just walk up and knock on the door or I usually see it at the pool and try and get with her. What do you suggest?
Jess Hilarious
I think you just let it happen organically. Has she ever given you an eye or, like, you know, did you get any inclination that she might, like, you.
Charlamagne tha God
Might give a little, you know, massage at the pool and stuff? You know, suntan lotion and rub the toes and all of that?
Jess Hilarious
So if she's allowing that, you could have just made your move right there, like, yeah, you. I think, don't go over there, knock on the door and ask out, because it's gonna be like, ah, what are you doing? You know? But wait till the next time you see her at the pool. Next time you rubbing her down, getting her all glistened with the spf, you know what I'm saying? And then you'd be like, what?
Charlamagne tha God
What? What we gonna do?
Jess Hilarious
I'm gonna kick this in a high gear. Like, what's up?
Charlamagne tha God

DJ Envy
Then they gonna fire, but.
Jess Hilarious
Oh, okay. And then you file for unemployment with your black ass. And that's it. Because if you quit, you ain't gonna get no money. That's all you gotta do. All you gotta just leave. Leave jars of mayonnaise in their locker. You know what I mean? What is. What else they like, Char you friends with a lot of them. What do they like?

Yes, retaliate.
But what happens when she retaliates and then they say they never did that. And then she gets in trouble and she gets fired for racism.
Charlamagne tha God
Well, you could put Black Lives Matter stickers in their locker.
Jess Hilarious
Absolutely. There you go. Like do something like that. But look, obviously, are you keeping note of what they're doing to you? I hope you are.
DJ Envy
I am.
Jess Hilarious

She should report first. Did you report first to human resources?
They don't care.
DJ Envy
I didn't report it and they told me to basically don't talk about it. Be quiet or they'll write me up.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, they don't care. So they have to make them fire you. You don't quit because one thing we are are strong black people. Period. So that's what you do. You go in and you give them the same treatment that they've given you. And so they fire your ass. And then they have to pay you, period.
Charlamagne tha God
Okay, thank you.
Jess Hilarious
And then you can sue.
Charlamagne tha God
I'M going be honest with you. I don't think that's going to work for you, but.
Jess Hilarious
Are you the only black on the job? Huh? Are you the only black person on the job?
DJ Envy
It's like five of us, okay?
Jess Hilarious
Are they racist toward all five of y' all or is it just you?
DJ Envy

Charlamagne tha God
Morning, everybody.
Jess Hilarious
It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Just got a quick question before we get to the latest with Lauren. Jess, did you work out yesterday?
I did work out yesterday. Where were you?
Okay, I just want to make sure I'll be back next week.
Charlamagne tha God
I'll be back.
Jess Hilarious
I want to make sure that I work out. Envy, this is my fourth week, baby. I'm already stronger than you. What are you talking about? You just wanted to go up there. Yeah, I told and I told Dr. Morris. Listen, his wife even told him, stay home, babe, so you can do your second week of training. He's like, no, no, I'll go with the girls. I'm gonna go with the girls. And yeah, yeah, I'll be.
I'll be back next week. Let's get to the latest with Laura. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
DJ Envy
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Charlamagne tha God
She be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes we have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Now Fat Joe has released a statement. And this is all in the midst of the 20 million dollar lawsuit that alleges that he engaged in sexual acts with minors. He says, I've been tested these last few months. I've lost my big brother, my father, my mother, and now I'm fighting against these disgusting lies. But please know I will not break and I will never back down. I've had individuals in my circle take my love and kindness for weakness. But how many times must we forgive them? Question mark? I've had people steal from me, grow jealous of me, lie on me. Through it all, me and my family have. Me and my family are the ones stuck dealing with the consequences of these bad decisions. If you get fired for doing something wrong, just take the L and live with it. But instead, they plot on your downfall. As they watch you move on with your life, they decide to go after one of the things you value the most. Your reputation. They figure they can make up the most insane stories. And if.
Jess Hilarious
If you.
DJ Envy
If they threaten you with a lawsuit, then you'll pay and they'll feel like they finally won. The problem with this theory? I've never let anyone on the streets extort me. So how would I ever let a crooked attorney and a coward ex hype man extort me? I'm from the Bronx. Mr. Tyrone Blackburn. Who is the attorney on the case? Attorney at law. Since you want wanted the clout, we will finish you in court. The time of lawyers using their law license as a badge to extort people and destroy families with no evidence. It's over. I'm not the one you've messed with the wrong one this time. And then he signs it Joseph. Fat Joe.
Charlamagne tha God
When are these lawyers gonna get bought up on RICO charges?
Jess Hilarious
Because he just get arrested.
Charlamagne tha God
He did. But at this point, at this point, it's just a racket. This is the pay me too moment. Yeah. Because if you literally understand how this works, right, they'll reach out to you, they'll send you a letter, they'll let you know, hey, we got this person that's gonna make these accusations about you. But you know, they. It don't have to be public. If you settle with us, us behind the scenes, and then when you refuse to settle, then they come out and they make a defame your character like this. Like when that RICO gonna start happening? Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
And I can't wait for it to start.
Charlamagne tha God
Right.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, I'm with you. And there's no reason that they'll do that. Because the reason that they do that, let's be honest, is they know it'll affect your advertising, it'll affect your sponsors, it affect the people that have book you. Some places won't have you in their arena or some schools won't book you just because of accusations. And it's effed up. And salute to Fat Joe. That's Fat Joe's a good brother. Like, Fat Joe is probably the only. I would say one of the only celebrities that will call and check up on you to make sure you're okay without a record. So salute to my bro, Fat Joe.
Charlamagne tha God
And by the way, to me, it's just as simple. It don't even got to be Fat Joe. To me, it's like, yo, listen to everybody's story, right? Everybody has the right to tell their story if they have a story. But you still got to believe all proof. You can't just defame me and put these accusations out and say all of these heinous things. Things and don't have any proof or evidence.
Jess Hilarious
And it's like they don't even be trying to. Wait, they. They do it all at one time. Oh, we just seen him do.
Charlamagne tha God
All right. We.
Jess Hilarious
I'm just saying that we're gonna say you did it too. Oh, and we just gonna say he did it. He did it like all at one time. They not even planning this out ahead of time. Not even gonna let the dust settle from the last time they lied.
DJ Envy
Well, Envy mentioned Tyrone Blackburn, the attorney in this case. And he's been known. He's also the attorney that filed the Rodney J.
Jess Hilarious
Mention him. What are you talking about?
DJ Envy
You just mentioned, or someone mentioned that he was arrested in New York. Who mentioned that?
Jess Hilarious
Yes, I mentioned that. I heard. I heard that you got locked up.
DJ Envy
I'm sorry, Envy. Like, I don't got nothing to do with that.
Jess Hilarious
I want to know. I want to know.
DJ Envy
Yeah, so he was arrested in New York for allegedly hitting a process server with his car in New York, New York City. The process server was actually a process server related to the Fat Joe case.
Jess Hilarious
What's the process server?
DJ Envy
Somebody come and give you the paperwork when you're being brought into being sued.
Jess Hilarious
And so he hit them.
DJ Envy
Allegedly. There was something where he might have hit him with the car.
Charlamagne tha God
So what if he was serving papers for Tyrone Blackburn?
Jess Hilarious
Right.
Charlamagne tha God
That would be crazy.
Jess Hilarious
And then you hit him.
Lauren LaRosa
Wow.
Jess Hilarious
No, I think.
Charlamagne tha God
I think that was.
Jess Hilarious
I think he was suing. They were suing him and he had to be served. And I guess.
DJ Envy
Yeah, yeah. Okay. So this is what happened.
Morgan Wood
The.
DJ Envy
The process server is a 66 year old messenger. He was serving Tyrone Blackburn with a complaint point in this Fat Joe case. Because remember, alleged, not allegedly, but originally Fat Joe sued Tyrone first because of the things you were talking about, like the, the defamation allegations and things of that nature. But they are claiming that Tyrone Blackburn allegedly slammed his car into reverse and Backed up. And then he hit the process server, allegedly in the leg, causing a minor injury. And the victim went and reported the incident to police. So he was arrested.
Jess Hilarious
And you're trying to get these people out of here. Yeah.
Charlamagne tha God
You know, a lot of this would stop too, if they realize how many times they. These lawyers don't win these cases.
Jess Hilarious
Crazy.
Charlamagne tha God
You know what I mean? Like, you. You. You hear the case go out, but you. You don't hear, oh, such and such got paid. Right. Every k. Every case ain't the diddy case.
Jess Hilarious
Right. Like, what is the success?
DJ Envy
Who got paid in diddy case?
Charlamagne tha God
That's my point. Everything ain't the diddy case.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, but most people, a lot of celebrities will settle out because they don't want this to go on. So we don't know the amount of times that a celebrity did settle out.
Charlamagne tha God
They don't want the negative was publicity.
Jess Hilarious
Exactly. Whether it's thirty thousand, fifty thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, where you're saying you might lose millions in advertising. So sometimes a celebrity might feel like. Or somebody with money might say, you know what? I'll just pay this 30,000, let it go away. But it gotta stop. I'm with you, Charlotte. Gotta stop.
Charlamagne tha God
It's the pay me too movement at this point. Pay me too.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, definitely.
Charlamagne tha God
But y' all are getting paid. Nobody getting paid.
Jess Hilarious
Nobody getting paid. And I. But speaking of that, it's Shannon's short birthday also. Happy birthday.
Okay.
Charlamagne tha God
Cancel. Appreciate it. Happy birthday. Shannon.
Morgan Wood
Shannon.
Jess Hilarious
That's right. It's his birthday. We gonna give it up.
Charlamagne tha God
What else, Lauren?
Jess Hilarious
Ain't nobody playing girls on their birthday.
Charlamagne tha God
His birthday.
Jess Hilarious
And it was a good time. I thought of him since while we.
DJ Envy
Was talking about all his birthday candles and all. Selena. I had one more. Selena Gomez. She sat down with Complex. The when they do the goat talk. And she talked about her celebrity crush. Let's take a listen.
Charlamagne tha God
Goat rapper. Can I tell you my first one.
Morgan Wood
That I had a crush on?
Charlamagne tha God
I. My God.
Lauren LaRosa
But he's amazing.
Charlamagne tha God
Like, I know, like a narrative. I had the biggest crush on him. Really.
Lauren LaRosa
Five.
Charlamagne tha God
I love that. So weird.
Jess Hilarious
But I just thought he would protect me.
Charlamagne tha God
But I will never say that I didn't have.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
Charlamagne tha God
I'm just only saying it simply based on my childhood.
Jess Hilarious
Okay, play that again real quick because I want to hear that. That girl's response to her saying, Ice Cube.
Charlamagne tha God
Goat rapper. Can I tell you my first one?
Morgan Wood
That I had a crush on Ice Cube.
Charlamagne tha God
My God. But he's amazing.
Jess Hilarious
Okay. Wow. Crazy. She said, but he's amazing. She wasn't expecting Ice Cube to come out of Selena Gomez mouth, honey.
Charlamagne tha God
And by the way, please, nobody waste their time and ask Ice Cube what he thinks about that. No, no, no. I don't want to tell y' all now. Tmz, anybody that sit down with Ice Cream, please don't waste your time asking Ice Cube what he thinks about that.
Jess Hilarious
I know that's right. She said Ice Cube.
DJ Envy
She was talking to Carol G in the sit Down. And she also did mention too, that because they're talking about gold rappers, she said that she was a big fan of Eminem because her dad was a DJ and used to play Eminem all the time as well.
Charlamagne tha God
Yep.
Jess Hilarious
And that's why he's one of my favorite rappers as well. I resonate with her with that because my dad is a DJ and he was the first and only actually white rapper that my dad played blasted throughout the house. So that's why Eminem is one of my favorite rappers as well, other than Vanilla Ice, but he not my favorite Vanilla Ice throughout the house. It's the dj. No, he played a lot of black rappers, but he, he played a little bit of everybody or whatever. So I was shocked.
Charlamagne tha God
Selena know that though. She said she was five.
DJ Envy
She said she was five.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah.
