Now football season is back. Drop a bomb. Thank God. Now the Philadelphia Eagles will be taking on the Dallas Cowboys tonight. So the Cowboys will get their first loss quickly and the game will happen tonight at 8:20pm Eastern Time on NBC. I'm excited about that. What's up, Amy? What's up, y'?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Good morning.

[Mimi Brown]

There's so much to unpack. We're gonna start on Capitol Hill where survivors of the Jeffrey Epstein abuse, they are putting pressure on Congress to release thousands of pages of federal files that remain sealed. Now, at an emotional press conference on Wednesday, survivors stood alongside Representative Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie as well as Marjorie Taylor Greene, demanding full transparency and accusing leaders of protecting powerful people connected to Epstein's network. Now we're going to hear from survivors this morning the first voice that you're going to hear is that of Shantae Davies, who says Epstein bragged about his relationship with influential figures. And then the second voice you're going to see, you're going to hear is that of Lisa Phillips. And she says survivors are now going to take matters into their own hands. Let's hear what they had to say.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

In 2002, I was living in California. A young woman with high aspirations of becoming an actress.

[DJ Envy]

I was already beginning to make a.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Name for myself in the industry. A person I trusted, someone I thought was a friend, invited me to meet a powerful woman who could help advance my career. That woman happened to be Ghislaine Maxwell. I was asked to give her a massage, though I had almost no experience. And when I did, she praised me and promised introductions to someone enormously powerful, someone who could change the course of my life. And that man was Jeffrey Epstein. I was just one of the many young women trapped in his orbit. I was even taken on a trip to Africa with former President Bill Clinton and other notable figures. In those moments, I realized how powerless I was. If I spoke out, who would believe me? He bragged about his powerful friends, including our current president Donald Trump. It was his biggest brag.

[Podcast Narrator]

Actually.

[Mimi Brown]

In the year 2000, I was taken to Jeffrey Epstein's island while on a photo shoot on a nearby island. Who I saw and what I experienced there was a glimpse into a very dark and disturbing world.

[DJ Envy]

For years after, I tried to avoid.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Jeffrey, but he had introduced me to.

[Mimi Brown]

Katie Ford, the owner of the Ford Modeling Agency. Epstein's reach went to the very top of fashion, arts and entertainment. So I stand here today for every woman who has been silenced, exploited and dismissed. And also I would like to announce here today, us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our own list. We know the names. Many of us were abused by them. Now, together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, I think, I think that's amazing. I think what's sad is, you know, he was. He killed himself. Well, he died in jail in 2019. It's been a long time. I don't think those files are going to come out until after Trump gets out of office. But I still think we still need to keep pressure on him to make sure that we can possibly get those names out. And I love the fact that they like, you know what, we'll give our own detailed list of who we seen what went down. And I would love, I guess, a more in depth documentary. We've seen a zillion one documentaries, but Documentaries from the actual survivors that can explain what happened, where, when, where they went, what figures were there, who was involved, who pressured them and all that. I mean, I would love to see.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

That, but I do. I am with you. I think it won't come out. It probably more than likely won't come out until after he's out of office.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

There's too many powerful people on that list. And so GOP lawmakers are kind of pushing back. Even Trump is pushing back a little bit on that, releasing that. And so yesterday, reporters asked President Trump in the Oval Office about the Epstein files. And this is what he had to say.

[DJ Envy]

So this is a Democrat hoax that never ends. You know, it reminds me a little of the Kennedy situation. We gave him everything over and over again, more and more and more, and nobody is ever satisfied, from what I understand. I could check, but from what I understand, thousands of pages of documents have been given. But it's really a Democrat hoax because they're trying to get people to talk about something that's totally irrelevant to the success that we've had as a nation since I've been president. I think we're probably having, according to what I read, even from two people in this room, we're having the most successful eight months of any president ever. And that's what I want to talk about. That's what we should be talking about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not the Epstein hoax.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, it seems crazy. You know, he wants to talk about the lack of success or success that he's been having. But what about this list? What about the list that you promised that you were gonna put out? What about the list that was on the desk that, you know, they were looking at and what they were gonna release? People want to see it, man. They're tired of. Seems like you're hiding something. And show. If you're not hiding it, show it.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

So for now, we'll just see what keeps. What will happen. Survivors say they're gonna keep fighting. And so this is just gonna put a between lawmakers, survivors, and the White House to see what is going to happen. So we'll keep following that. And coming up at 7, we're going to talk about password sharing. We'll tell you what, major company is starting to crack down on that.

[DJ Envy]

All right? And everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club, this is your time to get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?

Hey, Mary, good morning. Get it off your chest.

[Caller]

Mary, good morning. I wanted to call to salute my son this morning. His Name is Makai and he has autism. He's going into his senior year of high school. He only needs two classes to graduate. He wants to attend Rutgers. We met with the recruiter. They told him to apply for early admission in November. He has a GPA of 3.92. His class ranks in 97 out of 267 students. He'll be done with school in January. I am extremely proud of him. So I wanted to salute him. My daughter, Drew, she's three. I mean, she's eight on the third grade. And my son, Javon, he's going to be a junior. But I wanted to salute all children with autism to say that you can achieve your goals. I want to salute the parents to say, listen, you don't have to worry if you leave your children in God's hands. He gave you the strongest battle. I just want to salute all of the students who are attending school this year. Achieve your goals. You can do it. And I pray God's protection over all of them.

[DJ Envy]

I'm good, brother. What's up, man? Get it off your chest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right. I just want to get off my chest. And this is a little vulnerable of me, okay? But I've been a few weeks without the porn. And, you know, it's different. Like, real confident out here. Not scared to talk to women like that no more. Not scared to talk to nobody. Like, I'm that guy without the porn. And so I wanted to tell all my feelings that's out there. This in a basement, you know, getting this keyboard all sticky and whatnot. Y' all gotta chill a little bit on that. Like, a lot of it. Like, porn is not good for the brain.

[DJ Envy]

Okay?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I still be getting it in, but I just use my imagination.

[DJ Envy]

You still beat your meat, but you just. You still play with the One Eye Monster, but you just don't use porn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To do it for sure. For show. So, like, I just wanted to spread that message to the fellas. Like, leave that porn alone.

[DJ Envy]

Chill on that weed a little bit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And y' all be straight out there.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

I like that.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, well, I'm just kidding. You said what?

[Lauren LaRosa]

His New Year resolution is probably crazy.

[DJ Envy]

I'm just curious, how much porn did you used to watch?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Right. Some of Sticky Keynotes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I'm a Christian, so it's like, you ain't supposed to be watching none. But, like, I feel like I was using it as a coping mechanism for, like, abandonment issues. And I ain't had no therapist confirmed none of that.

[DJ Envy]

I love how people just be making up stuff. I had abandonment issue. Are you with the therapist? Nah, I just, you know, diagnosed myself.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You feel me?

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know. Nope.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

But obviously it has made you better and do some inner working on yourself. So, I mean, it's great. That's good. Thanks for the message.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, shout out, Kansas City, Kansas. Hey, there ain't no beef with nobody. But shout out to the 913.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yes, she did.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, my God. 45 minute long. I listened to all of the words she said, and she feels like black women are some of the most nasty, most disrespectful people, and she is not apologizing for saying it.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. All right, we'll get to that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I need people to stay out of our studio, okay? I walk in here a little late this morning, All I smell is must. It's musty. The door cracked open.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Go ahead, Jeff.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Don't play with me.

[DJ Envy]

It does stink up here. Yeah, when we walked in, it smelled a little musky.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Every time you say it's think this, look over here. Like, what are you talking about?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all are over here.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, you're not.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

That one's y'. All. Yeah, don't do that.

[DJ Envy]

It smells bad. And I don't know why. We tried everything to spray, but it's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know, somebody in here laughing.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Be low key, homeless and not saying Nothing. You have to speak up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We gonna look on the camera.

[Lauren LaRosa]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jesse, I'mma tell you.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

They gotta find them another studio to sleep in. They can't sleep in here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Oh, my God. Lauren becoming a straight F. She gets.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Montel Jordan]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything.

[Montel Jordan]

Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talk to me, LL Cool B.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good morning, welcome. Okay, you're supposed to respond or something. So Kelly Price. Good morning, Kelly Price. I said welcome, cuz you just got here. Kelly Price is speaking out and she is saying that black women are some of the most nasty, disrespectful people. Let's take.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Damn all of us.

[DJ Envy]

Damn.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

While you looking for a new job, still going to be selling out theaters and venues looking like a fat slob in clothes that you said that I look nasty in and my feet are so damn big. And who dressed me? I don't even do this, but I'm so sick of black people and they're bull. I'm saying what I want to say. If you got a problem, what I'm saying. And you know, Lord, pray for me, black women, you are some of the most nasty, disrespectful, respectful people on God's planet earth. The things that you say about other black women, but you're an activist and you are educated. Find yourself because a degree does not give you class. Find yourself because a degree ain't gonna get your stupid into heaven. Find yourself because being a keyboard thug on social media ain't gonna do nothing but your whipped when somebody walk up on you that don't know that you don't even know is watching you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She fed up. She got trolled. She clearly got trolled on social media. She reached her breaking point.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So what, what she talks about is she had performed in Memphis and one of her fan pages posted the video of her performing. Now on that video, fans went under, our people went under, were commenting, whatever, whatever. They turned the comments off on the video. And then she goes live to make this response to it. And I will say a lot of people were upset that she went live and said these things. There's always this convers whenever a black woman says something she doesn't appreciate from another black woman or a black person about. You shouldn't be talking out loud about your people like that. So there are a lot of fans in her comments. Yes, there are a lot of fans in her comments saying, your fans are black women. You shouldn't be platforming this. Why would you make this the narrative around black women? It's not all of us, but she.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Didn'T just call out black women, though. She called out black men first.

[Lauren LaRosa]

There are people in the comments saying, as a community, as a whole, we shouldn't get online and talk about people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, so how about niggas stop getting online talking about people that. I ain't talking about Kelly. I'm talking about the people that she's talking to in the comments. How come when they shoot, they can shoot and it's okay, but then when that person shoots back, it's a problem.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

It's like, oh, my God. That's what I was saying when I get into it with a community. But anyway, no, she is right. She is totally right to feel the way that she wants to feel. No, she didn't. She didn't mean. Obviously she didn't mean all black women. But this one thing that I want to go back to, when Kiki Palmer just says something, she had to sit down. She said, yo, you can say how you want, you can feel how you want. But what happens to group chat? Say it to your friend. You don't gotta comment. You don't got everything. Don't have to be on a show or online. What. What's wrong with commenting on how Kelly looks to your friend?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Group? You don't get an engagement when you do it in the group chat. You don't get monetization when you do it in the group chat. You get it when you do a YouTube video. When you do an Instagram video. I'm not talking about Kelly. I'm talking about the people that. He's talking about her, man. Pay attention.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah, man.

[DJ Envy]

That's why she be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's why she got online and said the way she said. Cause y' all don't listen.

[DJ Envy]

No, but people are mad because she generalized and she said all instead of just saying these particular people.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

She just was like black women.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She was big. But even if she had, I just.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hate how y' all excluding black men because she started with Black men first. But of course, Lauren don't see us.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Of course she don't see us. She rather reinforced what she said about black women. She's just gonna ignore the fact that she went off on black men too long.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Whatever she went in, she felt she.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did on black men too. She spoke for about three minutes on black men before she went on black women. I listen. You know why? Because Lauren asked me to.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

I did. I did. And when she was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lauren thought she was talking about Harriet Tubman. I was like, why would she be talking about Harriet Tubman?

[DJ Envy]

Harriet Tubman?

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, because she started talking about, like. But she was saying that black women become, like, civil rights activists and go fight for dei and they have all these things, and it's women empowerment, but it's all a bunch of bs. You really.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talking about one person? I'm like, no, she was.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She was talking about a specific person. So I was listening, trying to figure out who she was talking about.

[DJ Envy]

She's talking about the trollers, people that's been trolling her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It took me two seconds to figure that out.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Anyway. Anyway, she did talk about black men, but I think what she said was black. She. There was only about so much she could say, because as a black man, if you so concerned about a black woman's body, she summed it up in four letters starting with a B. So.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, four letters starting with a B. Four letters that start with a B. Oh, it's five. Boy, oh, boy. Now, I can't let you generalize, Kelly, but there's one person that I think what you were saying applied to, okay? And her stupid ass ain't getting into heaven if she don't.

[DJ Envy]

I could not figure it out. Like, four letters.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

B. Oh, my God. Wait, but wait.

[DJ Envy]

Jesus Christ.

[Lauren LaRosa]

One of the other things, too, that. That. Shut up. Shout out to Delaware State.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Move the tea is still. But, yeah, so I get what she was trying to do.

[DJ Envy]

If you move the tea is what?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

If you remove the tea, it's still.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why would you remove the teeth?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

You're allowed to say, she said four letters.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Because this is black women supporting black women.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

She's fixing my crown for, like. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why wouldn't you just remove, like, the last letter anyway? Why would you start in the middle?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Kelly Price.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's wrong with y'?

[Montel Jordan]

All?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Kelly Price also.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Kelly Price also addressed people who said to her in this live, you're a celebrity. You signed up for this. Let's take a listen.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

I don't buy into because I'm an artist. I don't have the right to respond when someone says something that's out of pocket. That's where y' all got it messed up. Because once again, depending on who you are and where you from, you wouldn't walk up on somebody in the street and say that because you might not make it home. This is my official advisement. If you don't like me, get the hell off my social media. It don't affect my bottom line. I promise on everything I love. But I'm serving this to you as a warning. Because where I'm at right now, I'm not getting back online saying anything about this anymore. I'm glad I saw your names. Cause when I pray, I'm praying that God give you exact there's something special.

You get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago.

[DJ Envy]

I just normally do straight stand up, but this is a bit different.

[Podcast Narrator]

On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear.

[DJ Envy]

On 22 July 2015, a 23 year old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house.

[Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman]

I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about exploring human potential. I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills and I get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like, it's easier to punch someone in the face when you think about emotion, Reg. Like, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it, if it's going to be beneficial to you. Because it's easy to say like, go blank yourself, right? It's easy, it's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore, to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just like walk the other way. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving, meditating, you know, takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the.

[DJ Envy]

Iheartradio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts exactly what you deserve.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

God will be like, why are you praying to me about these boxes?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Okay, no, not they probably real people. She probably did her research and they real people and they probably people that she knows she can get to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The problem with social media though is because I, I understand her pain. But you really swinging at ghosts, you know what I'm saying? Like, you don't really know any of these individuals. And I know it gets frustrating. I know it gets annoying, but you really don't know any of these people. So who are you even talking to?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

She said activist.

[DJ Envy]

But you feel their fire because they just, they're gonna go in even more now because they know it bothers you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They was in the live as she was live going in and joking. She's like, y' all in here laughing. But you know, this is not about. They were trying to go in while she was live.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When they created that teleportation, when you can just pop up at somebody, that's when it's going to be on and popping. Let's see how y' all acting.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

10 years look down and they will see them feet they was talking about. They would be like, oh, no, it's Kelly, right? No, that's what she said they said about her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So I'm just stupid ass ain't gonna get into heaven now. She told y'.

[DJ Envy]

All.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Keep it up.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, since I am adjusting your crown, we are ending this segment.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

Well, that is the latest.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Oh, my God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, when we come back, calling somebody bitcoin is an insult.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Bitcoin because of you taking it.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Oh, God. That's why I try my best to help you out to remove the tea. It's still.

[DJ Envy]

You know what? You know what? I'm sorry, I'm. If you're just joining us, you're going to school. Stay in school. All right. When we come back, we got front page news. And then Montel Jordan will be joining us. Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Fist Club. Let's get back in some front page news now. NFL, some sports right fast. The Eagles take on The Cowboys tonight. NFL season begins at 8:20 Eastern Time on NBC. All right. I don't care which one of those teams win or actually, I just don't want the Cowboys to win. But then again, I don't want the Eagles win. But I don't care.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

I don't care.

[DJ Envy]

Anyway. What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

What's up, y'?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

All?

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, we're going to start with Harvard University. They just scored a major win in its fight against the Trump administration. So a federal judge ruled on Wednesday that the White House wrongfully froze more than $2 billion in federal research funding for the school. Now the research funding it started, this whole fight started earlier this year when the administration claimed it was targeting Harvard over anti Semitic incidents on campus. In her ruling, the judge rejected that argument, saying the administration used anti cynicism as a smokescreen for targeted and unmotivated assault on the country's one of the country's leading universities. Now, Harvard sued after the funding was cut. They argued that the move was retaliation meant to punish the school for defending its academic freedom. The judge agreed, saying the cuts violated Harvard's First Amendment and put the critical research at risk. And so some of the critical research that was at risk was veterans mental health, als, NASA, Moon radiation experiments and emerging biological threats. Now, Wednesday's ruling, it restored, it restores all that research money. But the fight isn't over. The White House says it will appeal. Harvard's president called the decision a victory for academic freedom, but admitted the legal battle is far from over. This case could set an important precedent as other universities like Columbia, Brown and UCLA are all facing similar funding disputes with the administration. And so we're going to move over to Florida, where the surgeon general there, Dr. Joseph Libido, announced Wednesday that the state will roll back vaccine requirements, including school immunization rules that have been in place for over a decade.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Now.

[Mimi Brown]

The state health department will immediately end mandates it can change on its own, but the lawmakers are expected to take up legislation to do the rest. Now, Florida says the decision about this Dr. Lapido, I think, is how you say his name, Dr. Lapido says that this is about personal freedom and giving families the right to choose. Let's listen to what he had to say.

[Montel Jordan]

The Florida Department of Health, in partnership with the governor, is going to be working to end all vaccine mandates in Florida law.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

All of them. All of them.

[Montel Jordan]

Every last one of them. Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and, and slavery. Who am I as a government or anyone else? Or who am I as a man standing here now to tell you what you should put in your body?

[DJ Envy]

I wonder how that works with certain vaccines, Right? Because they say the reason that they have vaccines, especially for kids in school, is because they don't want the resurgence of preventable diseases. Like they were even saying that, you know, smallpox was pretty much, they haven't seen a case since 1977. And polio has damn near been eliminated globally. But they're saying without, without, with a ban on those, on those vaccines, that a lot of these diseases that are preventable, that our kids can actually die from, they can possibly come back and kill our kids. So I'm curious, you know, when you read both sides of it, how, how it works out, you know.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

And, you know, envy in Texas there was that measles outbreak and children died from it because they weren't getting the vaccine there. So, you know, there's a lot of implications to this if you don't get the, you know, vaccines. And so this was recent.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Was that recent, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

That was, that was recent. That was just literally like a couple months ago. Yeah. So it's. And it's still going on. And so, you know, we talked about this earlier this week where, like, there's this whole pushback against vaccines. And so this is coming as the time where the country is like, fighting vaccines nationwide. On Wednesday, California, Oregon and Washington, they launched their own public health alliance to give residents credible information on vaccine safety because there's growing concern about the government shifting guidelines after the firing of the CDC director and the resignation of several top scientists. So we'll see what happens. But pediatrician health experts, they're warning that like you guys were saying, this move could increase the risk of disease outbreaks in schools and communities, especially as vaccine rates, rates decline. These rules have been in place since the 1980s. And so, you know, it's just, it's very dangerous to kind of do this without regulation and everybody on board. So we'll see what's, what's happening. And so switching gears a little bit, we want to talk a little bit about. And I actually have a question for you guys. How many people in your family, in your household are using your Amazon prime accounts or outside your household or using your Amazon prime account?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Not outside of my Amazon. I mean, not outside my house, but inside my house. Everybody. Like my son, of course, and my little sister. Yeah, but Netflix, girl, that's a different story. The whole damn Moore family has my Netflix.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, really?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

What's the password?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Shut up.

[DJ Envy]

But yeah, now Amazon for me, like, my daughter has Amazon Prime. I don't. But it's my credit card, so I pretty much do. So when I have to order something, I just tell her to order it because she'd be like, I'll order it, dad. But yeah, everybody uses.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

What's going on with it, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

Well, because listen, if you have Amazon prime and you have lit your password to people who are outside of your household, Amazon is about to shut that down because the company just announced that it's ending its Invitee program on October 1st. So that's a feature that lets you share two day shipping with friends and family who don't live with you.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Oh, I didn't even know that was the thing.

[Mimi Brown]

I didn't either, to be honest with you. I was like, I could have had someone else's account.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

But look, and then they said before all y' all niggas find out, we taking it away. So, yeah, we done.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Exactly, exactly.

[Mimi Brown]

So they said they're gonna start emailing customers about this on September 5th, so expect notifications if you've been using someone else's account. Amazon says it's shifting people toward its Amazon family plan, which still lets you share Amazon prime perks like shipping and streaming, but only if you live under the same roof. So we're down. And so Amazon is trying to figure out how to recoup some of that money. So check out that email. If it comes to you, you'll soon have to get your own account. So, yeah, y', all, we'll see what happens with that. And that's your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me on social @mimi Brown TV.

All right, thank you, Mimi.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Thanks, Mimi.

[Mimi Brown]

Thank you, guys. See you later.

[DJ Envy]

Now when we come back, Montel Jordan will be joining us. Montel Jordan, you know, this is how we do it. One of Def Jam's first artists to sell a million records, I believe. I think that's what he said. But we'll talk to Montel when we come back. And we gotta talk about his fight with prostate cancer. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lola Rosa's here as well. We got a special guest in the building.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, indeed.

[DJ Envy]

You wanna do the intro? You wanna sing the intro?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

This is how we do it.

[Montel Jordan]

Martell Jordan, ladies and gentlemen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Welcome, brother.

[Montel Jordan]

What's up, y', all, man? I'm great this morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, you look good. You look amazing, man.

[DJ Envy]

I feel good.

[Montel Jordan]

I feel good. It's good to be here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?

[Montel Jordan]

Yeah, I'm 56.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

God damn. Give us something to look forward to, man.

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely. How does it feel to have one of the. A record that will never go away? It plays in pop culture, in hip hop, in urban, in country, and all types of things. Your record always get played. Did you know when you did that record, it was gonna. That was that record. It was gonna be that way.

[Montel Jordan]

I knew we had something special. Like I go back to college days and I knew that even long before I was in the music business, like, I would go to the fraternity parties or whatever, and any DJ that was really doing his thing, right around that, you know, last call for alcohol, that last hour to club, that's when they would drop. Slick Rick's Children's Story. And that was just already, like, a timeless record. But I always said, even back then, I said, if I ever get the chance to get in the music business, I'm gonna sing over that record. So I did know that it was already a hit, but the journey of taking that hit and then turning it into a classic, you know what I'm saying? I. I could not have known that. But that was what the goal was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Correct. Correct me if I'm wrong, because I was thinking about it. When they told me you was coming in. You were. You were Def Jam's first R B star, right?

[Montel Jordan]

Well, when you say R B star. So they had. Allison Williams was there. They had Orange Juice Jones there. So they had some. Some R B stuff there. Yeah, I mean, we were the first. Well, not only were we the first, I think, successful R and B, like, we were there. Their first number one record that Def Jam had ever. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And all.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[Montel Jordan]

Yeah, wow. The first number one.

[DJ Envy]

Amazing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, you think of Def Jam, you think of being a rap heavy label, especially around that time. You even sampling one of their classic rap records.

[Montel Jordan]

Absolutely. And the cool thing, though, even with that relationship of doing the Slick Rick, the children's story kind of pairing, on my second album, me and Slick Rick got together and we did a song called I Like that was on my second album. And we're friends to this, to this day. Him and his wife and me and my wife, we all, you know, do life together.

[DJ Envy]

Well, tell us how you wrote that record. In the process of getting into the music industry. Cause you said you were in college and you go to parties. What made you say, you know what? I want to do music?

[Montel Jordan]

Well, the making of that record right there was literally like capturing atmosphere. So I would study guys like Marvin Gaye and a song like Got to Give It Up. If you listen to that song, Got to Give it up even before Marvin starts singing, you hear crowd, you hear atmosphere, you hear energy, and all that is transformative in, you know, into music, especially when music was more analog than digital. And so when you hear this is how we do it, before the song ever comes on, you hear a party, because that's what we did. I put people in the studio, put a microphone in there, gave some Drinks. And they were all standing around having a party. And then I, you know, the engineers, we click play and we captured the energy of the room before the song ever.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Ever kicked in the actual studio. Like live in the studio.

[Montel Jordan]

Like live in the studio. They were just kind of. We just captured everything. The. The flirtation, the conversation. Everything that was happening is the undergirding of the track and the lyrics of this is how We Do It. So people don't know it's more than hearing the record. They actually feel that record. Which is why, you know, we're talking 30 years, almost 30 years later.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A record like that is a g. In a curse, though, right? Because, you know, a record comes becomes such. So bigot in life. Kind of overshine shines the rest of your catalog.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

In a way is.

[Montel Jordan]

It was a. It was a gift because it's around 30 years later. It was a curse because it was the first record. And because it was the first record, everybody always wants to put everything up against that record, you know, and. And that was a phenomenal record. And so even though I've had records that have probably sold more or that have done extremely well, everybody always goes back to that as the first.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. When they're sold more.

[Montel Jordan]

What's that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, records. That's all morning.

[Montel Jordan]

Well, Get It On Tonight did good. I. I had some records that did really. Probably not sold more, but I mean, as far as just. That has some legs. I got records that have some legs to them or whatever. But that record was. So When Something for the Honeys came out, that was a song that had some legs to it, but it could never reach number one because it was like 10 months later. We're like, hey, this is the next single. They're like, no, we're still playing this is how we Do It. And so this is a pretty cool thing that a lot of people don't know. The reason why this is how we do it got to be so big was because, you know, in a song, I say South Central does it like nobody does. I remember coming to New York City, getting with all the. Angie Martinez, Wendy Williams, all that. They're like, we love you. We love Def Jam. But we're not really kind of playing that record because, you know, the whole South Central thing. So I was like, okay, well, let's. Let's try and fix that. So we went into the editing booth and I re sang this is How We Do It. But I said, oh, New York does it like nobody does. And what I normally do, you know, because I was a rapper before I was singing. You know, I would do like, this is how we do it. It's Friday night, I feel alright. The party's with Angie Martinez. So I reach for the old school and I turn it up. Bunk myself. And so I started throwing names into the songs and, and changed it to New York. And so when I did that, now New York, they're playing that song every hour on the hour. And then D.C. hears and D.C. is like, yo, we heard you did that in New York. We want a DC version, we want a Philly version. And so I ended up singing the song probably a thousand times just so that every station had their own customized version of it.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

So that is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Artists don't put that kind of work in.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I was gonna say you talked about you being a rapper a little bit to get into that part of it. That even in that song you kind of have verses where you're. It's like you're singing it, but it's. It's like a lyric like you're rapping it. Like, I reached for my. Like, now I understand kind of where that comes from.

[Montel Jordan]

Yeah, I was Russell Simmons, rap singer when I got signed to dep. That was one of the reasons why I was documenting street life in Los Angeles and I was finding ways to, you know, the R. Kelly's were out there, there were other artists out there, the guy was out there. And, you know, I wanted to do the new Jack thing. I wanted to. I was a fan of Aaron Hall, I was a fan of a lot of different things. But the only way I was able to carve my own space into who I would be musically was I had to take rap lyrics and then I would sing them. So if you were to look at this is how we do it and you say, I reach for my 40 and I turn it up. Designated driver take the keys to my truck. Like lyrically, that's like rap prose. But then I would take designated driver, take the keys to my truck and say, designated driver, take the keys to my truck. And so I literally would write rap lyrics. My entire first album, I wrote rap lyrics and then I figured out how to sing them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just love the fact that you were promoting having a designated driver back then.

[Montel Jordan]

Right, that's what I'm saying. I was very conscious, very responsible.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You went from R B, you know, superstar to pastor. Like, what was the breaking point that made you step away from the industry?

[Montel Jordan]

I was brought up in church. I was a church kid growing up. And so from that standpoint, it Wasn't like, you know, I had this great big epiphany and then, you know, flew to the gospel. It was like, literally. I was brought up a church kid, my. And a lot of musicians and a lot of artists have that training ground. It's like a farm league almost for. For the music business, where people are growing up, they're listening. It's the difference between, you know, between rhythm and blues and soul music. Soul is a little more attached to feeling as opposed to just sonic hearing. And so me going back into ministry wasn't like a, oh, I'm ready to do this. It was more of a God move of saying, hey, man, you've done it this way for so long. You know, why don't you try and do, you know, try and do it my way and. And give me the opportunity to show you that what accolades and what verification and validation I'm looking for in man and in people that guys like. I've already verified you. I've already validated you. And so, you know, so I don't have to work for God's grace. I'm working from his grace. And by me stepping away to do ministry, I found out who I was because, you know, in the music business, I didn't know who I was outside of music. If I'm not. I don't have an album, if I'm not on the charts, if people aren't playing on the radio, then who I am, I. And so God was like, you know, well, I'm. I'm gracious enough to show you who you are if you never pick up a mic again. So it was during that time I found out, man, I'm a son, and I'm a father, I'm a friend. I'm a. I'm a giver, I'm generous. I'm. You know, I'm all these different things. I'm a teacher, I'm a communicator. I'm. I'm a bunch of different. If I never pick up a microphone again, I found out who I was, and I learned that, you know, music doesn't define me. I define music. And that was like a pivotal, you know, pivotal part for me to understand that music doesn't define who I am. I define who music is. And then that's when God says, okay, now I can trust you with music again, because now you know who you are.

[DJ Envy]

We're still kicking it with Montel now. One thing that I think makes me nervous, I know, makes Charlamagne nervous. You were diagnosed with prostate cancer. Yeah, that's something that I think we started. And this was a great thing. We started early checking everything. I mean, we done went to damn near every scan you could possibly imagine, because I have six, he has four. We wanna make sure we there as long as possible.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was getting his prostate checked, like every week. Just for fun, with the same doctor.

[Montel Jordan]

She said, just for fun.

[DJ Envy]

See where I work at. Were you sick? Was it just a test? Or how did you. How did you find out?

[Montel Jordan]

Yeah, never sick, never sick, never felt sick. Literally about when I was in my early 40s is when I started going to get. To get checked. And, you know, the whole taboo thing about the. The rectal check, you know, the finger check and then the blood check. Even when I was diagnosed, it wasn't rectal check that found anything. It was literally in my blood. From 10 years of getting blood checks, you know, I could see 10 years ago, like, my PSA was like 3.1. It was 3.3 and 3.9, 4.2, 4.5, 4.6, 5.1. And then it was kind of like, oh, okay. And then go from 5.1 to 6.1. Like, oh. And then. So it was the journey of looking at my blood at that PSA levels. Because I had a history because of early detection. Because of that, it allowed me to. When I did get diagnosed, it allowed me to have options because they caught it early. And Prostate cancer is 99% treatable when caught early. They have almost 100% success rate of treating it if it's caught early enough. But a lot of men, particularly disproportionately black men, do not go and they do not get checked. And because of that, they normally are finding out too late in the. In the process.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What made you decide to share it publicly instead of keeping it private?

[Montel Jordan]

That's 100 a God thing. Because it is very private, very personal. And I think part of it was a. What they call a holy discontent. That thing that just makes it something difficult. You can't sleep at night. It was like I watched when chat with Bozeman. It wasn't, I don't think, prostate cancer. But when Chadwick Boseman passed away, I was like, what is that? Like, how do you do all the movies? How do you do all those things? And nobody know, like, nobody can tell me nothing, you know, about that. And then when I got diagnosed, I didn't have a template. I didn't have anybody that I could look at that was telling, you know, that was telling the story to be able to say, okay, when you get diagnosed, do this, or even though it's not. Cancer's not the same for everybody. But when this happens, here are the steps, you know, that you can take. I couldn't find nobody. And so even right after we got diagnosed, my wife and I felt like we had. The Lord said to us, film it. Tell everything. Film it. And so we started filming this documentary that eventually be called Sustainability. I'll tell you more about that in a moment. But this movie, this film, in this documentary is literally us telling this entire story from diagnosis all the way up through how we vetted doctors, how we fed it vetted treatments, what we chose to do, how I chose to have a radical prostectomy surgery and have my prostate removed November 5th of 2024, election day. And from that process, the journey afterwards, how I got clear margins and how that journey is and what it is today with a recurrence or reemergence of cancer, which is. I would love to be here telling the story about, yeah, I got prostate cancer. I beat it. I'm on the other side of it. I'm actually right now in the mud, you know, I'm saying, of this thing right now. And I know I'm good. I know God's got me. I know my wife's got me, my family, my children, my grandchildren. Like, I know that I am good. I got great organizations like 00 Prostate Cancer, who I've come along with. They're trying to help a hundred thousand men be saved from, from, from this prostate cancer and in that journey. And I do want to say this because they're part of the reason why I'm here to talk about all this. But people that need to get screened, I want to encourage the wives, the mothers, the sisters, the aunts, the daughters out there, the men in your life need to be checked, they need to be screened. It is not a, it's not a game. It's not something you want to, you want to. You want to play around with. And I know they can go to 0cancer.org september because this is officially Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. I hope I got that, that information right. But in my diagnosis and in the journey that I'm in right now, in the thick of it, I don't want to tell, but if I don't tell, I don't know who else is going to say it. I've watched and I watched Dwayne Wiggins from Tony. Tony Tone had bladder cancer and he died. I don't know what his story is. I Don't know if he got diagnosed. I don't know if he got treated. I don't know. I don't know anything about that. I. The world heard, oh, Rennie Moss has liver cancer. And it was like somebody leaked it and then he had it, or he's fine from it now. And then they had a week in the NFL where they wore Moss cancer jerseys. But I don't know how he told his wife. I don't know what his kids navigated through. I don't know. I don't know anything when it comes to D. Wade, you know, with kidney cancer, I think he's got 60% of his kidney. I don't. I don't know what him and Gabrielle went through. I don't know how he told his kids or his family. Like, there's not enough data for me to make the. The right type of decisions in the. In the thought processes that go behind any cancer, and in particular prostate cancer, which is treatable. There's not a template there. So I'm the template now. I'm the template. So I'm partnering with Zero and I'm telling the. I'm snitching, I'm telling everything that I can, you know, about this, about this process. From diagnosis to when I'm crying and snotting and when I'm shaking my fist at God and when I'm thanking God for life. All of these bits and pieces, man, I'm capturing it all. And this is the crazy thing, though. Last year, from diagnosis up to surgery, I'm out on the road, I'm singing, I'm performing, I'm doing all these shows, all these concerts and all the money that I'm earning to do this. I'm gathering it so I can tell a story about cancer. I got cancer and I'm working to tell a story about how I'm going to defeat cancer. And so now, even on the other side, thinking now I'm about to do this documentary, sustain, and go to sustainthemovie.com and, and help partner with us to help take some of this load off of me. Because me and my wife, we've been carrying this thing for a year and a half now. You know, it's been completely, you know, on us and. And now I'm still, you know, I got film crew, I got people with me because now is that this reemergence of whatever is back, I gotta continue this story.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you for sharing your story first. Thank you so much. Because there's so many brothers, I'm Sorry. There's so many brothers that have so many questions and a lot of times we don't have anybody to talk to. Right? There is nobody. We say this all the time. You never go to the barbershop and you'd be like, hey, what's your prostate like? You know what I mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right, right, right.

[DJ Envy]

You don't talk about things like that. I'm just saying, I'm just saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

But we don't have those conversations about men's health.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So the fact that we don't say, well, what's your prostate like? No, we don't.

[DJ Envy]

No, we don't do that. No, we do on the radio, but in the barbershop. My name is Ed. Everyone say, hello, Ed. I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer and my mom is a cousin. So, like, it's not what do you.

[Podcast Narrator]

Get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago.

[DJ Envy]

I just normally do straight stand up, but this is a bit different.

[Podcast Narrator]

On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear.

[DJ Envy]

On 22 July 2015, 23 year old man had killed his family. And then he came to my.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So.

[Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman]

I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about explor human potential. I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills and I get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like, it's easier to punch someone in the face. When you think about emotion regulation, like, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it, if it's going to be beneficial to you. Because it's easy to say like, like go. You go blank yourself, right? It's easy. It's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore, to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just like walk the other way. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving, meditating, you know, takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the.

[Montel Jordan]

If a baby is giggling in the backseat, they're probably happy. If a baby is crying in the backseat, they're probably hungry.

[DJ Envy]

But if a baby is sleeping in.

[Montel Jordan]

The backseat, will you remember? They're even there when you're distracted, stressed or not, usually the one who drives them, the chances of forgetting them in the back seat are much higher. It can happen to anyone. Parked cars get hot fast and can be deadly. So get in the habit of checking the back seat when you leave a message from Nitza and the ad council.

[DJ Envy]

That wasn't a common conversation. We'd have conversation about.

[Montel Jordan]

I've done more funerals the past years than weddings.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

God damn.

[Montel Jordan]

And not just funerals of people that people don't know. Like known people. Like I was there at for Biz Marquis. I was a Bismarcky's funeral. I was there for dj Mr. C. I eulogize dj Mr. C over in Harlem. Like I was there the night that fat man school, you know what I'm saying, was in the hospital up in Connecticut. Like I somehow I'm around this and these ain't like, like 70, 80, 90 year old men. These are dudes in their 50s, early 60s. And so there's a problem with that. Not just in the hip hop in the urban, there's a problem in the community, especially in the African American community, black community, where. Which is twice likely, you know what I'm saying? For people to not survive from this because of the not getting checked and because not having conversations about it.

[DJ Envy]

We're still kicking it with Montel, Jordan.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Jess, to Envy's point, no, guys don't usually Talk about it, right? Like my dad is like, he knows something is wrong, but he don't know how to relay it to his kids. Okay, so like, like, how did you tell your wife? How do you tell your other family members?

[Montel Jordan]

That's a thank you for asking that question. Hearing it for the first time for myself, you know, with just me and the doctor, that was hard enough because I'm trying to figure out how do I tell myself first of all. Then from there there's also this thing that you realize, okay, I've got this, you know, cancer doesn't have me, but I've got cancer. Now in this process, when I start to share it, do I give cancer to other people? Meaning do they now carry the weight of what I'm carrying? So in telling my wife, I became freer because I now got somebody to take this journey with me and a lot of people don't have that, but I got a, you know, I'm saying I got a G riding beside me to help me do that. But then even after I told her, it took us about five months that it was just us not knowing who to tell, who to share it with because we didn't want them to have to carry the weight of that as well. And so eventually we told my, my son, my oldest son, and then my oldest son was like, yo, you got to tell my brother and sister. You got, you got to tell everybody. I told everybody I had a 12 year old daughter at the time. She's the last one. You know, I'm saying, how do I, how do I tell her which is.

[DJ Envy]

A put that weight on her. She has school, she has other stress.

[Montel Jordan]

You know, how do you tell her who also lost her grandfather to cancer the year before. A different form of cancer. And so now how do I make cancer palatable for a 12 year old? I don't got a rule book for that. There's no template. So I become the template and it's another story for another day. I hope you'll have me come back so I can tell you how I told my 12 year old, because it's hilarious. But in that process of telling them and then letting more people know and more people know that were just in our insulated circle of influence, those are the people that were going to be our tribe to help us. Because everybody don't need to know because everybody ain't praying for your health and everybody don't want to see you when everybody don't want to see you healthy. I know it's going to be tons of people that are this or that. And, you know, but I can silence all that noise because I knew who I am. And in this process, I'm telling my story because it's important for you and for your dad.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah, that's right.

[Montel Jordan]

I'm telling the. And I don't even know what your dad is going through, but it's important that your dad knows that Montel, the artist a million selling this or that. The other is saying is saying, please go and get yourself check or share.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Or just tell your kids or tell.

[Montel Jordan]

Tell them. Tell them, because they're stronger than you think.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And.

[Montel Jordan]

And it would be worse for you not to know and then be wondering, oh, what happened? Oh, you know, they kept this all to themselves. It's. It would be selfish, and I understand the reason why, but like I said, this is kind of where I am now. And. And I had to ask permission for my kids to be able to go and publicly start sharing this story in the mud, in the middle of the story, simply because it's personal to them. Like, yo, Monte, you know, dad, we appreciate that you sharing this with the whole world. You could save other people's lives and get men checked and this or that, the other. But you're our dad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You.

[Montel Jordan]

You know, you're our dad. And we want to. We want to keep this, you know, personal. But they understand. They allow me to share my music, they've allowed me to share ministry, and now they're allowing me to share my medical journey with the world. And I probably wouldn't have done it without their. Their co. Sign to be able to say, yeah, dad, you know, you've. You've saved people's lives through music. You've saved people's souls through ministry.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Right?

[Montel Jordan]

And now you can. You can do this, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You. You talk about God's plan in your life. How is your faith specifically guiding you during this, you know, stage of your life? The treatment.

[Montel Jordan]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Covering the re. Diagnosis, everything.

[Montel Jordan]

I'm unshakable. I'm unshakable. I. I recognize that I. I know where my soul rests in this. I know that this earthly journey is one that my story is not done being told. So from that standpoint, all I can do is look and be grateful of how good God has been to my life. And. And listen, it ain't just words like, you should be able to feel being in my presence, the same way I'm with y'.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

All.

[Montel Jordan]

You. You can feel that. I know without shadow, without how good God is to me and to some of Y', all in. In the journeys that you've been through that he's. That he's kept you. And so that's the. That's the foundational piece that has me rooted and grounded that I already know. I know God's gonna heal me. And I know he could do it supernaturally. I know he can do it through doctors, through medicines. He can do it through treatments. He can do it however you want to do it. If it was up to me, I'd be like, God, you know, I'm one of your favorites. You know, just. You know, just get it over with so I can just be able to tell the whole world, Yo, Jesus healed me supernaturally, and that's not the story that he gave me. He said, no, I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna do it that way. I was like, well, Lord, let me just get through it and come on the other side so I could be able to say, hey, I had it. I did this. And God brought me through through doctors and technology, and now I'm on the other side of it. And I would have loved that testimony. And God said, no, you're not going to get it that way either. And so in this journey that I'm on right now, I'm great. I'm really, really grateful to be with y' all today. It's like, because I'm not on the other side of it. I'm right in the mix of it. And I want people to see that God ain't just on the other side of it. He's right with me in the midst of it. So while I'm in the midst of it, God is with me, and then he's not waiting for me on the other side to come through. Like, he's with me in the midst of it. And so from that standpoint, that's where I can walk with authority. I can walk with boldness. I can walk in a place with my family. I can walk with 0. With 0 prostate cancer, and I can tell the story. There's no money grab here. This is literally, I'm trying to grab your pops. You know what I'm saying? I'm trying to get your dad, I'm trying to get your uncles, I'm trying to get your brothers, I'm trying to get your husbands. I'm trying to tell them if you thought Montel Jordan was cool or you liked his music, or you thought he might have had brought something to the game, now I'm bringing this to the game, and I'm saying it's important for you to. To not leave a legacy of your family of secrets and of. Of death and of misinformation and of neglect. Don't neglect your family. Don't neglect your body. Find out what's going on. And you know, because I've had people say, I just rather not know. No, no, that's. That's incredibly ignorant to not want to know what's going on in your body, especially when it comes to prostate cancer.

[DJ Envy]

Because.

[Montel Jordan]

And I keep saying this, man, it's treatable when caught early, so why not catch it early before it catches you?

[DJ Envy]

But we need to close out with a prayer, brother.

[Montel Jordan]

Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. All right. God, thank you. Thank you for your sons and your daughters. I thank you that you have given them this space and this voice to be able to speak to this generation. God, I pray over their lives. I pray over their health. I pray over their strength. I pray over their families. I pray over their marriages. I pray over the future marriages. I pray over their children and their grandchildren. God, I pray that what they speak even as they entertain, Father, that at the heart of what they do, that somehow somebody would hear what they say. And it always points back to you, Father, no matter what they are navigating through personally, I pray that you would be there with them, let them know you're not on the other side waiting for them, that if they've received you as Lord and Savior, that you are there with them in the trenches. In the good days, you're with them. In the bad days, you are with them. And I thank you for the Breakfast Club. I thank you for this space, and I thank you for this platform. I thank you for my life and for my wife and for my children and my grandchildren. I thank you for everybody under the sound of my voice that, you know, you've heard Montel, but you weren't hearing Montel. You were hearing the Lord speak to you today. To be able to say your life matters, your soul matters. And more than your soul mattering in heaven, which is extremely important, your life here on earth matters. And so do something to make sure you're preserving your life here in this earth earth, so that the beautiful things that we get to listen to and experience. God, you are the one that allowed that to happen. And we just thank you for this opportunity. We praise you in Jesus name. Amen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Amen.

[DJ Envy]

Montel Jordan, ladies and gentlemen, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Thank you so much.

[Montel Jordan]

I appreciate y', all, man.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Thank you.

[Montel Jordan]

Thank you.

[DJ Envy]

Let's get right to the latest with Lauren.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Lauren becoming a straight thing.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She gets the details.

[DJ Envy]

This.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about every family and everybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on the.

[DJ Envy]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit everything.

[Montel Jordan]

Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So the guys over at the Pivot, you know the show the Pivot.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love the Pivot.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yes, so do I. I was. I did an interview with them as well.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, I saw your interview with them as well. So they did, you know, one of their episodes where they sit down and talk about topics. One of the topics that came up was our interview with Sierra. They had some things that they wanted to express about the question that Charlemagne asked Sierra about Russell Wilson. When it comes to the lame. Not lame, conversation. Let's take a listen to first, Channing Crowder. On our conversation that we had, Ciara.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was on the Breakfast Club. Charlamagne being petty. Charlamagne was being messy.

[Montel Jordan]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And even when she was answering the.

[DJ Envy]

Question, she was like. Like who?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He said Chandy Crawley.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

He should have.

[DJ Envy]

I saw it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I did.

[DJ Envy]

And I saw answer. And then she wanted to go back to. But he's a loving person and a great husband. I didn't say he's not a great husband. It's amazing what he's doing with the future. Like, the dude is a good human. He is lame still. I don't know if anybody don't understand. They not running me off of this point. She even said it. So who's saying? Because that's their pick.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

She wasn't gonna date Russ back in 2000 times came forward. She evolved to date the lame dude. He is a good person, a good human being. But the dude is lame. Y' all know what lame is.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

He got that moose in his hair.

[DJ Envy]

Honestly, bro, y' all looking around. Cause y' all even know I'm right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shannon quadrupled down.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Oh, yeah, baby.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Standing on Shannon is not pivoted. Okay. From his stance on Russell Simmons. I mean, Russell Wilson at all.

[DJ Envy]

But let me ask you a question. I didn't hear the first time I seen this. The clip where he said it was. But what did he say made him lame? Is it because he takes care of his wife? Or is it just the way that he looks, the way he acts, the way he talks? Like, what did he say that makes him lame?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He just said. He said because he put the moose in his head.

[DJ Envy]

So just the moose in the heads of making it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. But I will say the. The part that you're talking about when the whole. Because he takes care of his family and he's a family man and his wife and all the things that did come back up because Ryan Clark actually has some comments about that. Let's take a listen to that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hearing Charlamagne say your name when referencing Russell Wilson was a little stunning, but.

[Montel Jordan]

That'S what they do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, on the show, I thought Ciara handled it like a woman and with a ton of class. She didn't want to get into name calling. As far as the Russell Wilson piece, I believe Doug Baldwin, Mike Robb, and Marshawn just had a conversation, and they.

[Montel Jordan]

Talked about Hawaiian shirts and flood waters.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And there is the time, especially in our culture, where some of those.

[Montel Jordan]

And cool is a big thing to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Us because we got some cool mother.

[DJ Envy]

Efforts in our culture.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think where I felt things went left was when DJ envy brought up.

[DJ Envy]

Because he loves his wife or because he loves his children.

[Montel Jordan]

The coolest thing about Russell Wilson is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The way he loves his family. We got an opportunity to meet Future at Pittsburgh camp. I got an opportunity to meet him at the.

[Montel Jordan]

At the Pro Bowl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And there is no difference between that.

[DJ Envy]

Child and the children that Russell Wilson.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And Sierra made together. Right. I love to pivot, by the way, but Ryan loses me sometime, though, because I can't tell when he's performing for his audience or when he's being sincere, because there's absolutely no way that hearing me say Channing's name was stunning in reference to people calling Russell Wilson Corny because he's sitting next. Sits next to Channing Crowder, who started that rhetoric. And by the way, I misquoted Channing. Channing said he was lame. He said he was square. He said that Sierra was just with him for the money.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Dang.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So all I said was corny. So I just. I actually misquoted Channing. Sorry, Channing.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

You actually did him a service.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely. I could.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, look sorry.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

People down on him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He did. But I. Well, speaking of misquoting, I felt like. And y' all tell me what y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How y' all felt. Envy, maybe? You tell me. I feel like Ryan Clark kind of misquoted your intention behind you bringing up Russell Wilson taking care of his children.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because you weren't talking about Channing. No, just talking in general.

[DJ Envy]

I was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was.

[DJ Envy]

No, I was asking because, you know, the rhetoric is that he was lame. So I was asking what makes him Lame, Right? Is it the fact that he loves his wife? Cause, you know, people have called him a simp before. Is it the fact that he takes care of his family? What makes him lame and what bothers me is if you talk about the moose in his head or Hawaiian shirt and you say that's the reason why he's lame, I think that's whack. Because what are we praising? Are we. The dude on the corner selling drugs, Is he not lame? You know what I mean? Like, what's lame? The fact that he takes care of his family, he does his job, he gets busy. He might not wear the same ish that I wear, but does that make him lame on that thing, Lane? Because the dude on the corner that sell drug to me is lame. You see what I'm saying?

[Lauren LaRosa]

So I don't know, but yeah, well.

[DJ Envy]

I like Rustin, and just because he's my New York Giants quarterback now, he ain't lame. Now, last year, he might have been lame, but this year, I'm just kidding.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's just when Sierra ask who says that, you know, yeah, Channing is the first person that comes to mind, right. Because of his rhetoric about Russell Wilson. So I don't understand why that was stunning for Ryan to hear me say Channing's name. Because, Ryan, you sitting next to him when he makes these comments, and you're. You're laughing about it. So I don't understand why that was stunning.

[DJ Envy]

Well, he said it, but I've heard.

[Lauren LaRosa]

A lot of people say, yeah, it's been a conversation. I don't know why it was stunning either, but Channing ain't running from it, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, definitely not running from it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. Well, in other news, Cardi B, she sat down with Billboard. She's, you know, she's promoting in my. The drama. So she sat down for an interview, and they talked about a ton of different things. Now, one of the things, y' all remember when it was announced that Wait and Up would be added to this album, people, the fans, people were mad. They're like, oh, she's trying to play with the numbers. So she talked a bit about that. Let's take a listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know you put out the.

[Montel Jordan]

The explanation about Wop and Up. What made you decide to put those.

[DJ Envy]

Records on the album?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Because my fans ask for it. My fans always be like, you better not. But, like, my fans do not stop reminding me of the fact that I did not not submitted what for the Grammys. So it's like, I'm not gonna always submit to Them. But it's like, why not put it. And then on top of that, people. People are crying about it, like, oh, it's for numbers and stuff like that. Those two records are not gonna come for the first week. Numbers, which everybody cares about. So it's like, what. What. What was the issue? And at the end of the day, what. So what y' all gonna get 21 new. New songs. Those songs are gonna be at the end. Why? What you crying for? I'm putting it. I gotta think about what the people that actually love me and buying my. And buy because they love it want. And that's what they want. That's what they're gonna get.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I think people still gonna be mad, even if it's not going toward the first week. I didn't know that. That. I didn't think that that was that big of a deal, but I think people still gonna be upset, even though. Yeah. Well, she also in this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's not that big of a deal. People just want to chat. The chat.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Very much so. I mean, but, you know, Cardi is in. And she's in the people. She's in tune with her fans. She listens, she responds.

[DJ Envy]

Now, yesterday selling CDs.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. So Cardi, yesterday was in the street selling CDs. Now the CDs she's selling because, you know, artists release these vinyl hard copies or vinyl and then hard copies of their album. Sometimes she put the photos of all of her different wig changes from when she was in court on the album. And she was literally in the middle of the street selling them. And she talked.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You let Cardi beat you to that, Lauren.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[DJ Envy]

She ain't got no music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Been the COVID for the latest. You know what I'm saying? Oh, wow. You know what I mean? And by the way, I told you that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You told me to start a wig line.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I did.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You didn't tell me to put them on. You told me to start a wig line. You said call it a daddy list. Something. What? He said.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Oh, my God.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I posted a video. Oh, I. I'll repost the video. Fatherless something. I'll repost the video today.

[DJ Envy]

Crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was just talking.

[DJ Envy]

That is crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Really?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Wait, did y' all know? Because she talked about in this interview. And we'll bring it back into the next hour because there's still a bit more I want to get to here. Cardi B. Was asked to do the Super Bowl. She turned it down.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Oh, snap. What?

[DJ Envy]

Really?

[Lauren LaRosa]

When she said it was like 2018, 2019, I think it probably was 2019, because that's when Jay Z started working with the NFL. So it would have made sense that they knew to go grab Cardi. But we're gonna talk about it in the next hour because she said she declined it.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, she wilding for that. She should have did that one. That's when. Oh, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wasn't the first one.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So it could have been JLo and Cardi. That would have been crazy. Big Bronx crazy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We won't get into it. She also gets into her dating life right now. So we'll be back in the next hour with some more.

[DJ Envy]

All right, thanks.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I also want to say man salute to Montel Jordan for pulling up man. Yes, my brothers, please go get your prostate checked. Go get your blood tested. Check your PSA levels. Go get that digital rectal exam. Would you rather have a finger in your butt or be dead? The choice is simple for me. I'm taking finger in the butt for 500 every time. Alex, I meant to.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know how many he needs.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you so much.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like he don't know that, but.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who you giving your wig stink? That's why we had to spray for breathing here this morning. After the hour, we need to a young woman named Lake and Snelling to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a war with her, please.

[DJ Envy]

All right. And then after that, of course, it's just fix my mess. So if you need any type of advice, you can get on the phone lines right now. Holla at just 800-585-1051. It's horrible in here if you got to spray the mic down.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You sprayed your mic because of my bob.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

What's the real issue? It's gonna be a donkey. Because right now you want some real donkey.

[DJ Envy]

It's time for donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man, hit me with the. Hey, did she get donkey today?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Please tell me I have become donkey of the day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Breakfast club Donkey today for Thursday, September 4th. Today is Beyonce's born day.

[DJ Envy]

Hurry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. Drop on the clues bombs for Beyonce. You know I'm a pinkish Smith, Winfrey, Knowles, Carter. But donkey Today for Thursday, September 4th goes to Lakin Snelling. Okay? She is 21 years old, and she is was the University of Kentucky cheerleader. University of Kentucky, as far as I know, is a great school dropping a clues bombs for the University of Kentucky. I'm telling you right now, I'm only saying that based off the history of their basketball program. Okay, I know nothing about the school other than their basketball program. I was born in the 1900s, 1978 to be exact. So I remember Coach Rick Pitino okay Coach John Calipari, Harry okay Players like Jamal Mashburn and Anthony Davis, Julius Randle, DeMarcus co. Others John Wall Just the name of Fuse when you hear me say Kentucky is a great school, I'm only basing it okay off the quite a few times I've seen them in the Final Four. Now Lakin was a cheerleader and according to her last tick tock on June 25th she posted an emoji of a mother holding a baby under her list of goals. She also had a wedding ring, a house and some cash. So people were shocked to hear what we ended up hearing about Lakin. Okay after seeing her post about her mother goals. Let's go to ABC 7 Eyewitness News for the report.

[DJ Envy]

Please Blake and Snelling entering a courtroom Tuesday in downtown Lexington. Snelling entered a plea of not guilty at a 1pm Arraignment. The 21 year old was arrested by Lexington police, charged with abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence and concealing the birth of an infant, according to an arrest citation. Officers were called to her home last Wednesday after a dead newborn was found.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hidden in a closet.

[DJ Envy]

The citation says the infant was found wrapped in a towel inside of a black trash bag. Also according to the citation, after being interviewed by officers, Snelling admitted to giving birth and to concealing the birth by cleaning any evidence placing all cleaning items used inside of a black trash bag, including the infant who was wrapped in a towel. After being arrested, she was in the Fayette County Detention center until Yesterday posting a $100,000 bond according to a court document.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How can everything be going so right in your life and then bam, wrong turn. Now I know some of y' all are thinking right now, hey, if she didn't want to have a baby, why didn't she just have an abortion? Well, let the record show that abortions are completely banned in Kentucky, completely illegal. Okay? With limited exceptions for the life or serious physical health of the pregnant person. Now you can go out, go out of state to get an abortion. And I know you're probably thinking, hey, this young woman seems like she had a lot of options. Well, she did. But when you're 21 and, I don't know, maybe trying to hide your pregnancy from people, those options are probably limited. And this is why, young people, it is very important to trust in your elders. I know, I know. Listen to the kids, bro. Yes, but old people for counsel, young people for war. And a lot of you youngers are fighting wars. You simply not built the win, win. Okay? Not without some. Some wise counsel from your elders. Okay? Hey, young world, listen to me. There is nothing you are going through in your life that you cannot go to an adult about. All right? Parents, if you don't have a relationship with them. Grandparents. Okay, if you don't have a relationship with your grandparents, there's some aunts, uncles, a teacher. Hell, you was a cheerleader. What about your coach? Okay, all I'm simply saying is whenever your mind says, you know what, I'm pregnant, but I'm gonna keep it, maybe conceal my pregnancy, and then when the baby is born, wrap it in a towel, stuff it in a black trash bag, and then just put it in my closet and move on with my life. That is not how any of that works, ma'. Am. Okay, but that is why you need older people for counsel. Not to mention, this is also why you can't stereotype people. Because society would have you believe that 21 year old lake and Snelling, okay, cheerleader at the University of Kentucky, wouldn't behave like that. This. You would expect this from Brenda, okay? Because Brenda barely got a brain, all right? Brenda can barely spell her own name. Well, guess what? Neither can Laken, all right? Brenda wasn't the only person having a baby on the bathroom floor. Brenda wasn't the only person who didn't know what to do, okay? Didn't know what to throw away and what to keep, all right? Brendan was not the only person who wrapped the baby up and threw it in the trash. Heat. I mean, Lake and threw the baby in the closet, but she still treated the child like trash. Listen, children. Okay, young people, I'm begging you. Confide in your elders, all right? Seek them for counsel. Even if you got to lean on complete strangers because the adults in your life, okay, are trash. All right? If you got to lean on complete strangers because the adults in your life are trash, fine. I just find an adult to talk to when you find yourself in difficult situations and you're faced with challenging choices, all right? Proverbs 11:14, where there is no guidance, a people false. But in an abundance of counselors, there is safety. Find you some wise counsel. Please let Remy Ma give Lake and Snelling the biggest Hee haw.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Hee haw, hee haw. You stupid mother. Are you dumb?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What a sad story.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Very sad.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, thank you for that donkey today.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Especially when your goal was to be a mother, man. You, you in college. You're a cheerleader for the University of Kentucky. Horrible.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, up next is Jess Fix My Mess, 800-585-1051. If you need some mess fix, call Jess up right now. She'll help you out with all your problems. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Podcast Narrator]

What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago.

[DJ Envy]

I just normally do straight stand up, but this is a bit different.

[Podcast Narrator]

On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear.

[DJ Envy]

On 22 July 2015, a 23 year old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house.

I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about exploring human potential. I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills and I get get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like, it's easier to punch someone in the face. When you think about emotion regulation, like, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use, unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it, if it's going to be beneficial to you. Because it's easy to say, like. Like, go blank yourself, right? It's easy. It's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore, to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering and just like, walk the other way. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving, meditating, you know, takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the.

While it's beautiful out there, sunny in.

[Mimi Brown]

Inside of your car.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

It is hot. You've only been parked a short time.

[Mimi Brown]

And it's already 99 degrees in there. Let's not leave children in the backseat while running errands. It only takes a few minutes for their body temperatures to rise, and that could be fatal.

[Montel Jordan]

Cars get hot fast and can be deadly. Never leave a child in a car.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah, that's my brother since day one. And that's who is gonna be. I'm gonna be collaborating with him this weekend at the Baltimore Comedy Factory. Did you buy any tickets, messy ass, to get to come see us? Maybe you should buy a ticket for you and Vontae. To come.

No, she a struggling student. That's why she need tickets to the show.

[DJ Envy]

Well, thank you, Cece.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

And I'mma put you.

[DJ Envy]

Did you. Sorry, my bad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You disrespectful.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't mean to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought you was moving on. You don't do that when it's your goddamn car show. When is your car show? You let them talk to. The very last period.

[DJ Envy]

Sorry, Cece. I thought. I choose being met.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

It's okay. You don't have people from Baltimore. That's fine.

[DJ Envy]

Sorry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hello? Who's this?

[Caller]

Hi, this is T. Hey, good morning.

[DJ Envy]

What's your question for GS?

[Caller]

So my question is I kind of need some help getting my daughter's father and my current boyfriend the cooperate with each other and get along. Like, I keep them apart for the most part because it started off really rough. A couple years ago, I think maybe four years ago, I met my boyfriend or whatever, and he was really good with my daughter, who is 11 years old, and he went and bought her a Pandora bracelet as a gift, and her father took it. So after that, everything started like. Like spiraling out of control. Like, they talking crap to each other over the phone, boyfriend pulling up at the baby daddy's house to say, I know where you live, and all this stuff. So since then, I kind of just kept them apart. But now my mom, who has helped me with my daughter for so long, she moved away. So I need them two to get along so I can call one and be like, hey, I need you to drop her off to her dad or vice versa. But I'm not sure if that's something that I need to make happen or let them, you know, do it on their own.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

No, this. So this is your child's father and your Boyfriend. Correct.

[Caller]

Yes.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

No, you don't let them do it on their own, because you see how that's worked out. You do it because you are the person in the middle. You're the direct link. You know what I mean? And first of all, are you. Are you over your baby father? Like, why is. Why is he so. Why is he in your boyfriend? So at odds? Like, what. What is that about? Like, have you ever cheated on your boyfriend with him? Have you cheated on your baby daddy with this and then left him and got with the guy? Like, what. What. What is. That Is history there?

[Caller]

Like, so with me and my daughter's father, we were together on and off for about, like, eight to nine years, and it was a couple. Maybe three years. No, two or three years after that, I met my boyfriend. So there was, you know, there was no cheating or anything like that. But I guess me and my daughter's father just kind of have bad history.

[DJ Envy]

And he.

[Caller]

He's one of those people that if it's like, he wants it to be his way, you know what I'm saying? He wants to be in controlling, but he also. Yeah, he doesn't want. It's more so for the. For my daughter, like, not really me. He's like, oh, that's my daughter. You know, nobody should be buying her jewelry or nobody. You know, he wants to, like, create boundaries, which I understand, you know, but my daughter's. I mean, my boyfriend is not trying to take his place. You know, he just cares about her.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah, and you are. And you. You're a package deal. You come with a child, and so whoever you date has to take her with you. You know what I'm saying? Right, Right. I think your daughter's father is very childish for that, because wouldn't you want somebody around your daughter that would love her and care for her as if she was their own child? You know what I mean? I just don't understand that. I do understand that there is a lot of history. He may not be over you. Have you considered that? You ever thought about that?

[Caller]

Girl, I don't. Because I don't care. He got a whole girlfriend and family. We are long past that.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Okay, well, then it sounds like y' all moved on. It sounds like if y' all both move on and this is an issue, then the courts are there. Cause you. Y' all can't keep doing this. Like, it's. It's weird. Now, is your baby daddy giving you a problem or just your boyfriend?

[Caller]

We both head here and there, but I kind of keep My distance, you know, I just talk to him, really, when it concerns my daughter. So, you know, and he doesn't really communicate. Like, they haven't communicated with each other in about a year or two because, like, you know, they were trying to pull up on each other, and eventually they just was like. Like my dad spoke to my boyfriend and my daughter's father, and they kind of chilled out. But now I'm trying to figure out how can we, like, move past that? Because, like, there was never a conversation after everything was going on.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Well, boom. It has to be a conversation. That's. That. That's. That's. I'm glad you said that. It has to be a conversation. You and it has to be. All of y' all sit down together. You, your boyfriend, and your baby's father. Like, y' all have to do that. Your child's father. Sorry, y' all all gotta sit down. It's. You don't go talk to your baby father by yourself. You don't just talk. Have a conversation with your man. Y' all all gotta do it. They gotta hash it out. It shouldn't become physical, because only thing is gonna hurt is the child. The child. We're not doing that. So sit down and talk to me.

[Caller]

I can't even do, like, her birthday parties and invite, you know, like, I don't mind having her dad and his girlfriend and everybody, you know, come to the party, but I can't when my boyfriend's around. And I also. I don't want to keep her other side of her family away from her because of him.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah, absolutely not. Yeah, yeah. No, we're not doing it.

[Caller]

Do you think I. All right, you said us three, but do you think I should get a mediator? Because if these two, like, start popping off, I can't stop them. You know what I mean?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah, the police. Yeah, that's the mediator right there. It ain't gonna fight in front of them boys in black. It's not. It's not gonna happen. So it was like, yo, we need to do this for our child. And that's just what it is. Because it takes a village. And if mom and dad aren't together and their co parents are trying to co parent amicably, and they both are in separate relationships, y' all gotta do what's best for the child. Nobody should be upset. Nobody should be. Cause you ain't tripping about his girlfriend being there. You know what I mean? Like, as long as it's in the best interest for the baby girl, then everybody should be able to operate like a adults. That's it.

[Caller]

That's what I've been saying. I've been saying. I'm like, I need them to get it through their heads, like, let's just go move along.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

You know, call the police. That's it. Or. Or. Or just bring your dad. Bring. Bring your dad a guy who could break them up if they do choose to fight. But they shouldn't do that. It's too. It's like nobody got time for that.

[Caller]

Exactly.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

So good luck, babe. Check back in with me.

[Caller]

Thank you so much. I love y'.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

All.

[Caller]

You are my favorite Aquarius queen. Okay.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Thank you, boo.

[DJ Envy]

[DJ Envy]

That was just fix my mess. Now when we come back, we got the latest with Lauren. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Lauren becoming a straight fan.

[DJ Envy]

She gets into somebody that knows somebody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She gets the details.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on.

[DJ Envy]

The.

[Montel Jordan]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sometimes you have facts, Sometimes she have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything.

[Montel Jordan]

Who is the latest on the Breakfast Club?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So we talked about this a bit at the end of the last break. Cardi B. Says that she denied or turned down doing the Super Bowl. Let's take a listen.

[DJ Envy]

The Super Bowl?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah.

[Montel Jordan]

Have the thought of doing a halftime.

[DJ Envy]

Show crossed your mind?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Of course, Definitely. I feel like I. What year I got asked to do the Super Bowl? I'm not sure if it was 2019. 2018, and I denied. I feel like soon, if I get to do it, I feel like I'm gonna have more hits. I feel like I'm gonna be more experienced. Hey, I know. I'm gonna eat that up. Yeah, I'm gonna eat it up.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Would have been a great year for her to do it.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah, definitely would have been a great year.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She said she. She said 2019 first. But she said maybe 2018. I just think it. Because that's when Jay Z started working with them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm sure. But. And I remember that first year was JLo and Shakira, so it probably would have been JLO and Cardi.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

And then Invasion of privacy was 2018, right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

2017.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

I don't remember either way, if. If that album was out, that. Plenty of hits on that album.

[DJ Envy]

She had the records.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean. Yeah. It had to be. Duh. It had to be after invasion.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It was April 6, 2018, when it dropped.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah. So that. That.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

That was at a high.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When did Jay Z them start doing the Super Bowl?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Jay Z started doing the Super Bowl.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Damn. That would have been.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I looked it up earlier, and I.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Remember all them hits off of Bodak. I mean, off of the Invasion of Prophecy. Hell yeah. She had the whole.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He started working with the NFL. It says around 2019. 2020. Before the. Yeah.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was very early for her. I agree with her.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Super early. Did y' all know she's never done her own headlining tour? Which is crazy when you think about it, because she's toured, but she's never done her own headlining tour.

[DJ Envy]

Who did she go out with?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I remember she was with. Wasn't she? It was like Miguel at one point.

[Montel Jordan]

I don't remember that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

It came to Baltimore.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They said in this. But I don't know what's the difference for like a.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

A spring blink or like summer fest, something like that. But I remember her headlining a show in Baltimore at the arena.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She's headlined shows, but her own headlining tour. Yeah, but when I saw that, and it's already like, wait, why?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They had time. She's been pregnant. For what?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, they also talked to her about dating and Stefan Diggs. Let's take a listen to that.

[Montel Jordan]

Was it tough for you to date.

[DJ Envy]

Again and then date publicly?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

It was very tough. But you know what? It is what it is. It's tough hiding. It's just tough dating. It's definitely tough dating in your 30s, too.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So I'm happy.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

I like him.

[DJ Envy]

I love him.

[Montel Jordan]

But Stefan, how has he inspired you creatively or personally? I've seen y' all in the gym.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Well, personally, it's like, I will never complain about my job. I will never complain about lack of sleep. And so one thing that I have been learning is that to be more organized, not complain, because he has to do two different things. He has to learn his book. So the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, you have.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Not only do you have to study, you also have to get physical. And you have to be in bed at a certain time. You're literally in the military. Our car, but you know what I'm saying?

[Mimi Brown]

I could take a little break.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

I could lay back.

[Caller]

You know what I'm saying?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

I don't really gotta runny running, but very inspirational to see how hard somebody works.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right. Y' all don't know how blessed y' all are, man. You in your 30s. You know what I'm saying? And, you know, you got a career going. It's hard to find somebody that really, really loves you. That's why it's good that, you know, Jess is married. Lauren, you got two dudes. Dudes like y'. All.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Oh, my God. Stop doing that. I'm gonna make that leave her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Which one?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Oh, my God.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We don't acknowledge the noise. We don't. We don't.

[DJ Envy]

You just got one boo, one bae.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Crazy. That's two Nigga Low.

[DJ Envy]

That's what we call her in the street.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You don't even be in the street.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

You can't even say street.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yes. Oh, I know right now.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Too Lad Low.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

I am not doing this with you.

[DJ Envy]

Just go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Keep going.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now, weirdly enough, right in the written Billboard article, they. There's a question that they asked her about her relationship currently with Offset, but that's not in the video. So the question they. They say, friendship has always been a core of your relationship with Offset, despite the ups and downs. Do you envision a lasting friendship with him? She said, I tried. Next question.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But that's not in the video. But then they also get into the Big Three conversation, and. And she didn't really give her opinion on any of the names mentioned, but the names mentioned were Cardi, Nicki Minaj, and Meg Thee Stallion. Cardi talks about why she deserves to be there. She says she works hard. But I've thought about that conversation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Big Three, as far as what? Female rappers right now.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Big three of female rappers. And now here are some names that have been tossed around.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And Glorilla's in the big right now. I don't know how y' all mixing it up. I just know Glorilla in there. Certified Big three of this generation.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How y' all feeling about doa, Cat and Lotto?

[Montel Jordan]

Not so much anymore.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah, where they been at? That's what I. Yeah, where they been at? I mean, Lotto been living her life and doing her thing, you know, I haven't seen Doja at all.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She just did a run with Apple Music. She's about to drop something.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Okay, well, cool. I'll be there listening.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But Nikki's definitely in there.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, Nikki is like, you're not moving her. Her or Cardi. You're not moving them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then it's Glorilla, then Big Glow.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Over Meg Thee Stallion man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, Glorilla.

[DJ Envy]

Are you crazy? Consistent. She's been putting up hits records on.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Radio at one point. Megan was consistent, but not recently.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

I mean, yeah. She's more branding like that. She. She does more branding now, like, and less freestyle. She used to stay freestyles, dropping singles, hits, whatever. You know what I mean? But she was consistent, more of a friend.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

By the way, none of them have more records than Gloria. No, none of them. And I mean that respectfully. None of them put out better music than Gloria.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You talking about Nicki Minaj, too?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All of them. Everybody. My personal opinion. Okay, okay. This is my personal opinion. Charlamagne. Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Over Nicki Minaj. Glover. Nicki Minaj.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I said what I said.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I heard you and I thought it was the list. I couldn't hear. Well, I just was confused. I love Go, but I. I don't know if I'll put her over Nicki Minaj. Love her, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, no, no, no. Don't do what I'm saying saying. I said at this current moment, I'm.

[DJ Envy]

Just going through Nikki's records and I'm.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Like, I get what you saying.

[DJ Envy]

A lot of records.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

But currently, right now, right now, nobody's.

[DJ Envy]

Trying Gorilla Shoes Soaring. Yeah, nobody.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Right now, she up there by herself.

[DJ Envy]

And she don't stop. Every time it's a new one, it's a new one.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Anthems.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I. I mean, I could put. I could put Glorilla's catalog up against Nikki's. No, I think that's a good one. Yes, absolutely. Joint joints.

[DJ Envy]

She does have joints.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah, she does have joints.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Because she has as many, though.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

She ain't got enough music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. I think Gorilla just put out her debut album last year. But she's got a bunch of mixtapes that are like, albums.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think all of that F and FNF and tomorrow, that was on mixtapes. Those are mixtape products.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

No, I get it, but I'm just saying, like, I don't think she's been around, you know, long enough.

[DJ Envy]

She does not have the catalog Nikki has.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If we just talking music. I'm just talking about music. I ain't talking about nothing else. Because we know Nikki's a huge superstar. Music. I could put Glorios catalog.

[DJ Envy]

I don't think that's his opinion. I think. I think Nikki got a, what, a 15 year head start?

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Hell, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

As far as records, Catalan, I can.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Still get 20 records for 20 records.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I know you'll be like, damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I bet you'll be like, damn. Well, I mean, we coming. It's going off versus rules.

[DJ Envy]

Right, right, right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

20 for 20. You'd be like, damn, I got some joints right here.

[DJ Envy]

Glow. Definitely got some joints. But as Far as catalog, I don't think she. She has the time in like Nikki.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

And if so, she the only one who could do that. Cuz I. I still don't know. Nobody catalog is. That's touching. Nikki's with her 15 gear, you know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

Nikki goes all over the place. She'll go trap, she'll go pop, she'll go this, she'll go that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Nah, but GLOW is close.

[DJ Envy]

I'm not saying joy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She ain't got no joy on a nice rock run.

[DJ Envy]

These last, but Nikki got a 14 year head start. So.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm talking about time. I'm just talking about music, that's all. Just 20 records versus 20 records. You'll be bopping your head. That's a good verses. Don't act like it's not.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

I'm not. I'm not. Great.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Great.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I just don't know how long GLOW can last on her side. That's my only argument.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah, that's what I.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It would be great.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

She has like so. I don't know. I don't know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, girl, do that.

And your mother. All right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Salute to Montel Jordan for joining us this morning.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yes. That. That interview was. Was very deep. I did not know that brother was going through that. He still look good? Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, man, he look amazing.

[DJ Envy]

53 or 56?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

56.

[DJ Envy]

56.

[Montel Jordan]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

56 years old. He looks incredible for 56 years old, man. And you know, I love that he's using what he's going through to teach others, you know how to just go out there and, and, and live better lives, right? Because you know, a lot of brothers don't want to go go to the doctor. And you are not living your best life if you are not going to check on said life at the doctor. So my brother, guys, please go get your prostate checked, okay? Go get your blood tested, check your PSA levels. Go get that digital rectal exam. We make a lot of jokes on this radio about stuff going up your butt, but the reality is you would rather have a finger up your butt than be dead.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's really that simple. Like it ain't, it ain't, it ain't hard. You know what I mean? And when you, and by the way, make it a game when you go in there to get your rectal exam.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Giggle a little bit, huh?

[DJ Envy]

No, no, you gotta make it a game. Be serious, man.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah, like what the hell.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, you're gonna laugh.

[DJ Envy]

Go get your process.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, you're gonn, you gonna laugh because I want you to think about it. When you go to get your digital rectal exam, think about me laughing at you.

[DJ Envy]

Why you keep saying digital rectal?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because I laughed. You know what I mean? Cause I ended up getting, when I ended up getting my prostate check, I actually had. Went for another procedure.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah, you was going for something else.

[DJ Envy]

He was going up for a hurt elbow and they just.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

That's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you know why I ended up with a finger in my butt? I ended up with a finger in my butt because when the doctor said to me, have you had a prostate exam? I'm 47 years old. I think this might have been last year. So he was like, you know, you should get a prostate.

[Caller]

Exactly.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Exam.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was a no brainer for me. You know why? Cuz I want to live. All right, so yes, I bent over too to that thing up and damn, that's crazy.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

So you wasn't even going to get that. So when were, had you ever thought about that before? Prior to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Actually, no.

[DJ Envy]

They do blood test though. Now they do blood.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now they do. You can do both. You do the. That's when they, that's when they, that's when they, that's when they check your PSA levels. So people, they, you can do either. Okay, I've done both.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Wow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And will continue to do both for the rest of my life.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, yeah, no, no, I, I've done both too.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

But recently they just do blood. I did the first one I did like five years ago.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I mean, if you keep going to the same person over and over. How many times? Yeah, you get tired of you envy. So, yeah, let's check your blood now. We got the fun out the way now.

[DJ Envy]

Let's roll with you, man.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

So you got. You went to different people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There you go.

[DJ Envy]

Different people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I went one person. But the moral of the story is, go get your prostate check, man. Don't be too tough. You're not too tough to die, are you? That's right. Okay.

[Just Hilarious (Jessalarius)]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All. All right, Charlamagne, you got a positive note.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I do have a positive note, man. It comes from the four agreements. You know, I love the four agreements. Don Miguel Ruiz says, seek to know the truth. Okay? When you hear an opinion and believe it, you make an agreement, and it becomes part of your belief system. The only thing that can break this agreement is to make a new one based on truth. Only the truth. Truth has the power to set you free. So always seek to know the truth. Have a great day, Breakfast Club.
