[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning usa. Yo, yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

[DJ Envy]

Just Larry Charlemagne. To God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Peace to the planet. It's Tuesday. How y' all feel out there? I feel blessed. Black and highly favored. Happy to be here another day to serve our beautiful listeners, man. Drop on the clues bombs for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Okay, first of all, I love Jacksonville. All right? That's number one. But number two, I just like seeing the Kansas City Chiefs lose. It warms my cold heart to see the Kansas City Chiefs have a losing record.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, they lost last night. 3128. Did you watch the whole game?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't watch none of the game. Okay. But I saw the score, so. All right. I was up. I'm reading a great book right now. It's Allen Iverson's memoir. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Allen Iverson's memoir. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, man. Man, that's what I've been. That's what I've been on all weekend.

[DJ Envy]

I love to read books like that because you know the person in real life so that. To actually know his story, to see his story. Because I went to Virginia, I went to Hampton University when he was going through all the things that he was going through. I remember that bowling alley.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Paul.

[DJ Envy]

That bowling alley situation when he was just coming up and I was out there.

[Havoc]

It was.

[DJ Envy]

It's just. It's a great story if you haven't got the book. Is the book out yet? Not yet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, no, it's not out yet. I think it's out this week.

[DJ Envy]

This week?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. I love reading stories like that because you don't know a person. You know what I mean? Like, you. You. You hear all of these headlines and things like that, but you actually get to know, you know, what the person was thinking in that moment, what led to certain situations. But, you know, Allen Iverson is a cultural icon, so all cultural icons should write memoirs. They should tell their own stories while they. While they're still alive to tell them. So I'm thoroughly enjoying this book. I'm almost done with it, actually. I agree.

[DJ Envy]

I seen AI a couple of weeks ago, too. When I was in Virginia, I just happened to walking down the block, and AI pulled up on me. So salute to AI.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why the hell was you just randomly walking down a block in Virginia?

[DJ Envy]

Because when I was staying at the hotel, you walk about maybe five, ten blocks from this restaurant.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You ain't say it like that, though. You make me like you going to the. Walking the streets of Virginia like you just gooned out out here. I'M just. I'm just walking the block. If you didn't he say that.

[DJ Envy]

If you took that. I didn't say nothing about goon out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was walking. Let me rephrase that.

[DJ Envy]

I was strolling to the neighborhood restaurant, catch some brunch. And as I was walking back to my hotel, Allen Iverson pulled up to me and said, hey, what's up, nb? That sound better.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That makes sense. Actually. The book comes out today. While we're talking about it. Okay. Today it's out Misunderstood. Misunderstood comes out today, October 7th.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

His memoir, Salute to AI. Absolutely.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Havoc will be joining us this morning. We got a chance to kick with Havoc. Havoc, of course, from Mobb Deep. This is the last, I believe, Mobb Deep album. It's called Infinite. It's my. It's Havoc and Prodigy. They have Prodigy verses on there. Nas is on there a couple of times. So we're gonna be K with Havoc.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

For a little bit. Man, I'm mad I missed that. Man. They got a song. That was that new record they got out. That's so hard.

[DJ Envy]

Which one?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's a new record. It's br. It's off this. It's off the Infinite. The whole album is hard.

[DJ Envy]

So I don't know what you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I didn't hear the whole album.

[DJ Envy]

They sent it. The whole album is hard. It's. It's. And Prodigy. Prodigy sounds so good, man. We forget about all the beats that Havoc produced.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I absolutely do not.

[DJ Envy]

It's funny, we was having a conversation. I was like, you know, it's weird to me that people don't ever put you in that conversation. One of the illest or best producers. And he was like, yeah, he feels the same. But if you look at his catalog, records he produced when he was up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Here, when Joey Badass was up here. And Joey Badass was talking about, you know, wanting to do like a. A 1990s. Well, I was saying he should do like a 1990 now album. And Havoc was one of the people.

[DJ Envy]

I said, oh, my goodness. You know, from Quiet Storm to Shook Ones to Godfather Part three to. There's so many of them. So we'll. We'll talk to Havoc in a little bit. But we got front page news when we come back. Mimi will be joining us, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

[Jasmine]

It's DJ Envy.

[Havoc]

Just hilarious.

[DJ Envy]

Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some Front PA Now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm on the Night Football.

[DJ Envy]

Like we told you. The Jaguars beat the Chiefs 31 20.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dropping the clues bomb for the Jaguars. You know, I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan all day. I don't root for other teams. I just like to see the Kansas City Chiefs lose. I really, truly do. I mean, it calms my cold heart. Is it Taylor Swift? There's a lot of mayonnaise. A lot of mayonnaise in that potato salad. A lot of it.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Well, good morning, Mimi.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, Envy. Good morning, Charlamagne. How you doing this morning?

[Havoc]

Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good.

[Mimi Brown]

All right. So as a government shutdown drags into its second week, thousands of air traffic controllers are being told to keep working even though they are not getting paid. Their union says skipping a shift or calling out sick could mean getting fired. But call outs are already rising as frustration and financial strain are setting in. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, he stopped by Newark Airport yesterday delivering pizzas to air traffic controllers still on the job and admitting that pressure is mounting. Let's listen to what he had to say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And so now what they think about as they're controlling our airspace is how am I going to pay my mortgage? How do I make my car payment? I have a couple kids at home. How do I put food on the table? I'm working six days a week. Do I have to take a second job and drive Uber when I'm already exhausted from doing a job that's already stressful to think about how I can make extra money because the government may not provide me a paycheck? This shutdown has put way more stress on our controllers at a time when they're already working on equipment from the 1960s, 1980s, 1990s, we asked them to do their jobs on equipment that has not been state of the art.

[DJ Envy]

That's crazy.

[Mimi Brown]

That is really crazy. Equipment from the 60s, 80s and 90s. That leaves more questions and answers right there as well. But more than 11,000 FAA employees, roughly a quarter of the agency's workfor, have been furloughed, while 13,000 controllers are still required to report for duty to keep the planes moving safely. And for travelers, the ripple effects are starting to show. Longer TSA lines are being reported at several major airports as more agents do call out sick. And even minor staffing gaps are now causing major delays. Here in California, Burbank Airport had no traffic controllers on duty for nearly six hours yesterday, forcing flight diversions and delays. Governor Gavin Newsom, he vented about that on X, writing Burbank Airport has zero air traffic controllers from 4:15 to 10:00pm today because of your government shutdown. We're assuming he is talking about President Trump. Meanwhile, flight refund requests, consumer complaints, lost luggage claims are piling up because offices that handle that are closed. FAA inspectors have also been furloughed, meaning fewer routine checks on planes and repair. So just a growing reminder that the shutdown isn't just a Washington problem. It's touching Americans both on the ground and in the air.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So, Mimi, imagine them saying there was no air traffic controllers in Burbank for six hours.

[DJ Envy]

That's crazy. But I wonder if all, you know, the TSA members, employees and all air traffic controllers just say, you know what, we're not coming to work Wednesday. Right. It would almost force, it would almost force to get things done a lot faster. Right. Because if nobody comes to work, that means there's no flights taking off. That means you can't go anywhere. That means there is no money. And I really think they care more about big business than the actual average people. So I wonder if that would force things to move a lot faster.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I doubt it.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Caller/Rick]

I don't know.

[Mimi Brown]

But I think that's why the Transportation, Transportation Secretary had that press conference yesterday because he was basically saying if you do that, we're going to fire you and we'll just find somebody else to take your place.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But you're not going to pay.

[DJ Envy]

But you want me to work, but you're not going to pay me.

[Mimi Brown]

Exactly, exactly. So you kind of got to pick.

[Jasmine]

One and I don't know, will want to apply for a job like that if they already not paying. So we are gonna find more people to work.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, well, you know, and the chaos in the skies, it's all tracing back to of course, the gridlock in Washington where lawmakers can't agree on how to reopen the government. Yesterday, Senate, Senate, Democrats, they once again blocked Republicans their so called clean funding bill. It's the fifth failed vote in just seven days. So that final count was 52 to 42. They are just short of the 60 votes that they needed to move forward. The bill already passed by the House would have kept the government running until late November. Democrats, of course, they're refusing to go along with a vote until the Affordable Care Act. Subsidies and tax credits, those are the tax credits that help millions of Americans afford their health insurance premiums which are set to expire at the end of the year. And now some Republicans are sounding the alarms. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, she said on X that while she's not backing the Democratic plan. She did urge her party to address the expiring Obamacare credits, warning that insurance premium for her own children will double if the credits expire. And so Americans, they are fed up. A new national poll finds 70% of voters oppose the shutdown. More than half blame Republicans. While most want Democrats honestly to just accept a short term deal to keep the government open, most people just want to get back to work. And perhaps the most telling about all of this is 62% believe that Republicans will ultimately win this showdown about the shutdown.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I tell you one thing. On October 15, the 1.3 million members in the armed services are supposed to get paid. You let them miss that paycheck. Okay, you missed that paycheck. It's going. It might not be worth the political cost for either party. Wow.

[Mimi Brown]

Exactly. So we'll continue to watch that. All right, y'.

[Havoc]

All.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, coming up at 7, a popular app is rolling out a new feature today. And I'll tell you why. Some users say they feel like they are being watched.

[Jasmine]

Another one. Okay, Mimi. Okay, girl.

[Mimi Brown]

Another one.

[DJ Envy]

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

[Havoc]

Wake up, wake up.

[DJ Envy]

Wake your ass. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hello? Who's this?

[Caller/Rick]

Yo, this is Rick.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How y' all doing today?

[DJ Envy]

What's up, Rick? Get it off your chest, Rick.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Peace, Rick.

[Caller/Rick]

Yeah, I just wanted to give a little insight. I heard Charlemagne say, like, the armed services missed their payment. They actually passed a law not too long ago for the armed services in certain divisions of the government actually still get paid on government shutdowns, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't say that, but hope, brother. But I didn't say that, my brother. I said that y' all have a PayCheck scheduled on October 15th for the 1.3 million members in the armed services. And they're saying that that might convince legislators in the White House that missing that date won't be worth the political cost.

[Caller/Rick]

They're still going to get paid. That's what I'm saying. They passed a law back doing like Trump's first administration to where all the armed services still get paid.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You talk about, you talking about the temporary bill that continues like, what is it called? I forgot.

[Caller/Rick]

No, no, that's Stop Gap legislation We're not talking about that. We're talking about an actual law, like, that was put into place and to, like, Envy's point, where, like, if the TSA was to call off, that's what actually put pressure on the first of the Trump administration in 2018 to get them back to work. Remember that? They had a big airport thing. A bunch of TSA agents was calling out sick and everything like that. And they got the shutdown done in, like, a week, man. So, like, yeah, they really do care about big business more than they care about the little guys. So, like I said, like, the army still get paid, Congress still get paid. They get free health care, man. It's the little guys like us who are making 20, 30 an hour, man, who premiums double. You know, I always tell people, though, it's expensive to be poor. You know, one thing can happen in your life, man, and he can set you back for months on end. But, you know, the government doesn't really care about that, man. But that was just my two cents. You guys have a great day.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, brother.

[Jasmine]

You too.

[DJ Envy]

Hello? Who's this?

[Caller/Rick]

Hey, good morning, DJ Envy. Just hilarious, man.

[DJ Envy]

How y' all doing? What's your name, brother?

[Caller/Rick]

It's Adele. I'm gonna go quick. I know Trigger fingers got his hand next to the angle flat.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Caller/Rick]

But back in 2018, I was looking back to shut down, did some research, and first of all, there's 535 members of Congress, right? And because of 27th Amendment, they still get paid during this furlough, but they have the option to forego their payments. And the research shows that only six members have done that. And also what caused the shutdown to end in 2018 was PSA, because after that month and they weren't getting paid, they started calling the sick. They stopped coming in, and that was a big disaster. So they. They came to an agreement real quick. So my thing is I'm calling them back out this time around because we the people have power. If they stop coming to potential workers, stop going in or take a stand like Charlotte was saying about the veteran workers, I bet you they'll agree real quickly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't say that. Envy said that. Well, listen, where are y' all getting this information that active duty still personnel are still getting paid?

[Caller/Rick]

I don't know about them, but TSA, they just stopped coming in 2018.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, TSA members started calling in sick. Like, a lot of them started calling us in because they weren't getting paid.

[DJ Envy]

That's what I was saying. You Know when it's regular people, a lot of times the government don't care. But I feel like if they gotta shut down them airports and shut down them planes and them flights, they'll fix things, right? Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the event, hit us up now. 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.

[Jasmine]

Hello?

[DJ Envy]

Who's this?

[Caller/Rick]

Hey, how you doing? What's going on, man? This is Terrence from Tibetan, Louisiana.

[DJ Envy]

Terrence, get it off your chest, brother.

[Caller/Rick]

Good morning, man. I wanted to shed a little light this morning, man, about the tragic accident that happened here in Louisiana.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, man. Kyren Lacey, horrible. Horrible. Like, horrible.

[Caller/Rick]

Yeah, man. So. So what just happens, man? His lawyer just got on local news network and really got to tell his story, man. It shed light on this story about what really happened. And it was a total cover up from start to finish, man. Kyrie Lacey was behind that accident.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Caller/Rick]

You saw it?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Caller/Rick]

I just feel like we're not getting enough. That's not getting enough national attention, man. That. That's a false release report.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. You know, it's so funny, when I walked in the room this morning, I said, man, all the caping people doing for Diddy, talking about the judicial system did him dirty. It's like, no, that should be going to Kyron Lacey, because Kyren Lacey didn't do anything wrong. He didn't make no portraits whatsoever. He just got framed.

[Caller/Rick]

Correct. He got framed, man. And we just feel like here in the community, man, they're not. They're not shedding enough light on that.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I agree. And I believe the lawyer reached out in my dm. I actually sent them to Lauren's information so. So Lauren could speak with him.

[Havoc]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

But if he is listening or the family members are listening, we definitely would.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Love to talk to you. Hell, yeah.

[Caller/Rick]

Oh, yeah. Hey, that's easy, man. I can get in touch with his mom or his dad and have them call you guys.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's.

[Caller/Rick]

That's easy.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, yeah. Well, hold on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, all that energy y' all giving Diddy talking about, you know, the judge did Diddy wrong and the judicial system did Diddy wrong and they overcharged. No, they did that to Kyron Lacey. Diddy made poor choices that put himself in that situation. Kyren Lacey did nothing. Literally.

If it's drugs or something, they want to make sure that you're in rehab and that they don't give you something where you're going to continue messing up your kidney. Yeah, that's why I asked.

[DJ Envy]

We got the latest with Lauren coming up. What we talking about Lauren?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, we going to be talking about LeBron. LeBron said he is making the the decision of all decision.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody got time for all that right now. LeBron. You see what's going on in the world, LeBron. Nobody got time for all of this foolishness.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The people is stressed, okay? We going to get into it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's only one decision he can make. Retire and not retire. This is silly silliness all over again.

[DJ Envy]

He's not leaving. So like you said, it's probably just.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I hope he don't use this opportunity to sell something. If he come out, he's like, I'm selling a new with y'. All This a new sneaker. If he. If he playing with people like this during a time like this, we don't want to hear it. No. Oh, my God.

[DJ Envy]

We'll talk about it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. It's the Breakfast logo. Morning. The Breakfast Club.

[Jasmine]

Lauren becoming a straight face.

[DJ Envy]

She gets him from somebody that knows somebody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Details.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the late to start the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the breakfast club.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So LeBron James have the people in a frenzy right now. So yesterday on his Instagram, LeBron posted a video of him walking in and sitting down recreating the big Miami announcement moment. And the caption of the video. He doesn't say anything. The caption of the video says the decision of all decisions. October 7th, 12:00pm Eastern Standard Time. Hashtag the second decision.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's not the decision of all decisions because there's only one decision he could be making. Like, you know, he's going to announce his retirement. This is his last year. A fair farewell tour, which he deserves.

[DJ Envy]

I think so.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, yes, I hope so. So that post made some people think that.

[DJ Envy]

Why would you hope so?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because I hope you're not doing all this to promote a sneaky decision. McDonald's chicken sandwich sandwich.

[DJ Envy]

The fact that he was actually. If he's ret. Retires. I mean, because he's still putting up numbers.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Last week he was. They talked about. Someone had asked him during the media days about retirement. He said he downplayed it. He said, no, he's looking forward, you know, to how this year plays out. Didn't really answer the question. You know, the thing he does when he's asked about that. But October 7th and 8th are also Amazon Prime. October, Amazon prime days. LeBron has a major partnership with Amazon Prime. So a lot of fans think this is either a retirement announcement or it's just a scare and it's going to be an ad to promote something that he's done with Amazon Prime.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why would him retire and be a scare? It's not a scare.

[DJ Envy]

This is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's 40 years old to be 41 in December. This is his 23rd season.

[DJ Envy]

I don't think he's scared. I don't think he's retiring.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The fans don't want to see it. Now, I will say yesterday, when he posted this, it sparked the ticket sales for the Lakers final home game for the season. Yeah. So the Lakers play utah Jazz on April 12th at the Crypto arena in LA. And before this post, tickets were starting around $82. Right after the post, they spiked to $580 a ticket. According to ESPN, if this is an.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Amazon prime promo, this would be so whack.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I don't think he's retiring.

[Havoc]

I really don't.

[DJ Envy]

He's still averaging 23, 24 points. I don't think he's gonna retire. Just. I don't think so. I think it's probably his. Didn't his new sneaker just come out? Or he just took a picture with his new sneakers?

[Lauren LaRosa]

He does have the sneakers because remember, he brought them on Consonant Stream, gifted them there. But in today and tomorrow are also Amazon prime day, so we'll have to see.

[Jasmine]

He might drop the shoe on Amazon Prime.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I mean, his prime partnership, you know, he has his grooming brand and they do a lot of his products over there. So I know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We don't know. But this is what people are speculating. They're in his comments, really upset, though. Like, people are mad. Like, why are you doing this to us? What's going on? People are talking about the fact that it might be prime.

[DJ Envy]

Everybody's touring.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Everybody's guessing. And even, like, outlets are trying to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Figure out, but if it is a. Some type of promo for something. Right. You're stepping on your own retirement rollout. Because LeBron deserves all the things he deserves to. Farewell to him. He's one of the greatest basketball players of all time. One of the greatest athletes of all time. So, you know, he deserves everything. So he shouldn't be so dramatic about it, I guess, and step on his own rollout when he finally does retire.

[DJ Envy]

But if he retires two years from now, nobody's gonna be like, no, we.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Remember what you did. Two years. Depends how he does it.

[DJ Envy]

They still gonna have love for him. It's kind of like when Snoop. Remember when Snoop did the thing. I'm not smoking anymore.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. That messed me up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All the Nazis came through.

[DJ Envy]

All the niggas came through.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not smoking anymore.

[Jasmine]

I know, right? And then when he got up, he was like, what? Yeah. All right. Y' all thought that was for real.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love Snoop, but Snoop not smoking anym. Moore is not the equivalent to LeBron James, one of the greatest athletes of all time, announcing his retirement.

[DJ Envy]

I don't think you're retiring.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, we'll have to wait and see. So I'll be tuned in at 12 to see what happens.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Perfect ending for LeBron. If I, like. And I said this earlier, like, LeBron, go back to Cleveland. Right. Especially this year would have been perfect. He was a free agent. Go back to Cleveland. It's an easier path to the NBA Finals because the east is wide open. Jason Tatum was hurt for the Celtics. Halliburton hurt for paces. Miles Turner gone for the paces. The only competition in the east is the Knicks. You end up in the finals again, right? Lose. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Cleveland and next. The only ones in East.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. But you end up in the finals again, lose. Perfect storybook ending for LeBron, greatest Eastern Conference finals champion of all time.

[DJ Envy]

Why you say that, man?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Because he is amazing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's the greatest. He's the greatest. He's a conference final champion of all time. I mean, he's the conference finals. He got 10, 11, something like crazy like that.

[Havoc]

Yep.

[DJ Envy]

There.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, maybe. Well, you know what? Then maybe number two, because Bill Russell got A little. I gotta look at what. How many he got that as he still would be the greatest Eastern Conference finals champion of all time.

[DJ Envy]

LeBron maybe one of the greatest players.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Of all time, but definitely the greatest Eastern Conference finals champion.

[DJ Envy]

Jesus Christ. He'd be one of the greatest players of all time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Between him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, I have more sports news here. Very important as well, because Taylor Swift.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my goodness.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Sat down with Fallon last night, and she addressed the super bowl rumors, and she talks about conversations she's had with Jay Z. Let's take a listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You didn't turn down the super bowl because of performance footage?

[Mimi Brown]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like, Jay Z has always been very good to me.

[Mimi Brown]

Our teams are really close.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like, it's like they sometimes will call and say, how does she feel about. And that's not like, an official offer.

[Mimi Brown]

Or an official or like, a conference room conversation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just a feeling.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, the kids are really close.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How does she feel about it in general? And we've been.

[Mimi Brown]

We're always able to, like, tell him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The truth, which is that, like, I am in love with a guy who does that on that actual field. Like, that is violent chess. That is Gladiators without swords.

[Mimi Brown]

The whole season, I am locked in.

[Lauren LaRosa]

On what that man is doing on the field. Can you imagine if, like, he's out.

[Mimi Brown]

There every single week, like, putting his.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Life on the line doing this very dangerous sport?

[Mimi Brown]

And I'm like, I wonder what my choreo should be. I think we should do two verses.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Of Shake it off into blank space into. And this has nothing to do with Travis. He would love for me to do it. I'm just too locked in.

[Jasmine]

I love that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I loved it, too.

[Jasmine]

I love that. Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So no Taylor Swift at the super bowl, guys.

[Jasmine]

And that is why.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because I ain't listening.

[DJ Envy]

She loves her boyfriend, who. Her fiance that plays football. I can't think about shaking off when I'm talking about my fiance hurting himself. I can't think about Shake it Off. When he's thinking about risking his life out there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's not going to be there.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Taylor y. C. Never got a real offer. She said, too.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, but he said they asked her, how you feel?

[Lauren LaRosa]

And she said, but that ain't a real. Like, we want you to come. That's like checking the temperature real quick. Like, yo, let me see what's happening. If Jay Z wanted Taylor Swift to come, he would be like, here, offer. Let's do it. He ain't offer yet nothing either.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did she really sell 2.7 million albums in a Day.

[Lauren LaRosa]

First of all, they talk. It was over. No, in a day. Yeah. Yes, it. But no, I don't know about the day. I know in the first week was over 3 million.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I saw something that said 2.7 in a day. I was like, how is that even possible?

[DJ Envy]

She keeping some lights on one these labels. She's keeping their lights on.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She is, yeah. So we have some more in the next hour. Yes. 2.7 million copies in the first day of release, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't act all excited because you didn't even talk about it on Friday.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I. I didn't. I didn't. We talking about it. We talked about it today. Today is what she didn't listen to that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She didn't.

[DJ Envy]

She a fake. First of all, name three songs.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm not doing this with y'. All. Every single time we bring up this woman. The latest with Lauren, the rose is ending. Where are we going to next? Envy?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Your mornings will never be the same.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news now. On Monday Night Football, the Jaguars beat the Chiefs 31 to 28.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good job, Jaguars. Not no Jaguars fan. I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan, but I just like to see the Kansas City Chiefs look loose. Why?

[DJ Envy]

Why so much hate for the Chiefs?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's a lot of mayonnaise and app potato salad, you know what I'm saying? With a sprinkle of raisins. Was Taylor Swift at the game last night? I heard she was at the game last night.

[DJ Envy]

I seen Duvall poster, but he might have been playing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I don't know. If she was really there, I don't think she would go to Jacksonville. Sold 3 million records.

[DJ Envy]

Yes. No, in like one week, right? A week and a half.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

In a day. He said like 2.5 million in a day.

[Jasmine]

When she just dropped the album or something.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, Roddy.

[Jasmine]

Oh, I didn't even know that up.

[DJ Envy]

[Jasmine]

Never.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Her boyfriend podcast.

[DJ Envy]

That's it.

[Jasmine]

Damn.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, she called in the Elvis. I think she did call in the Elvis show. Good morning, Mimi.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, Envy. Hi, Jess.

[Jasmine]

Hey, girl.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, Charlemagne. All right, so we start this hour in the Oval Office, where President Donald Trump made news on two fronts yesterday. Weighing in on the unrest in U.S. cities and the high profile case of Ghislaine Maxwell as Jeffrey Epstein's long associate. So Trump said that he is weighing whether or not to use the Insurrection Act, a centuries old law that allows presidents to deploy the military for domestic law enforcement. Now, if he were to invoke the law, it would allow him to bypass the judges and governors who've been blocking his troop deployments into several U.S. cities. Let's listen to what he had to say about that.

[Havoc]

But we have an Insurrection act for a reason. If I had to enact it, I'd do that. If people were being killed and, and courts were holding us up, or governors or mayors were holding us up, sure, I do that. I mean, I want to make sure that people aren't killed. We have to make sure that our cities are safe.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why didn't he, why didn't he use the Insurrection act during the actual insurrection on January 6, 2021?

[Mimi Brown]

Exactly. That's the question everybody's been asking, actually. So the Insurrection act of 1807, it hasn't been used since 1992, since the Los Angeles riots. Now, Trump said he would consider invoking it if state and local officials continue to block his plans to send in the National Guard to cities like Portland and Chicago, which we've been talking about. And his ally, Steve Bannon is encouraging him to do so, saying it's time to, quote, put governors like Gavin Newsom and J.B. pritzker in their place. But this wasn't the only unrest making headlines yesterday in the Oval Office. During that same appearance, Trump was asked whether he'd consider pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell after the Supreme Court court rejected her final appeal. Let's listen to what he had to say about that.

[DJ Envy]

Who are we talking about? You know, I haven't heard the name in so long.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I can say this that I'd have.

[Havoc]

To take a look at it. I would have to take a look. Did they reject that she wanted to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Appeal her conviction and what happened?

[Lauren LaRosa]

They were not going to hear her appeal.

[DJ Envy]

I see.

[Havoc]

Well, I'll take a look at it. I'll speak to, I will speak to the doj.

[DJ Envy]

I wouldn't consider it or not consider.

[Havoc]

I don't know anything about it.

[Caller/Rick]

It.

[Havoc]

I, I have, a lot of people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Have asked me for pardons.

[Havoc]

I call him. Puff Daddy has asked me for a pardon.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But she was convicted of child sex trafficking. Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna have to.

[Caller/Rick]

Take A look at it.

[Havoc]

I have to ask doj.

[DJ Envy]

I'm part of both of them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But listen, he is really the best at double talk, man. He. He will. He can literally sit in front of anybody and tell them exactly what he wants, what they want to hear. He literally goes, I haven't. He said, I'm not going to consider it, but I haven't considered it. I don't know whether to consider it, but I don't know if I'm going to consider it.

[DJ Envy]

Like what? I don't even know the story.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't even know the story.

[Jasmine]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

He gonna part of both of them, I'm telling you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't think so. Well, listen, there's absolutely zero reason to pardon a woman who is in federal prison for helping Jeffrey Epstein exploit underage girls. If Donald Trump pardons her, that's the President of the United States publicly endorsing sex crimes against children, period. And if that was to happen, everyone, including his base, should never stop talking about the Epstein files. But it also shows people that President Trump doesn't take sexual exploitation of minors seriously. And the fact that he's even flirting with pardoning her shows he doesn't take it seriously.

[DJ Envy]

If not, he gonna point her on the day he about to leave, but I think he gonna pardon her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You mean the day he about to leave. That's 43 years.

[DJ Envy]

Well, he's gonna point in three years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't believe that.

[Mimi Brown]

I mean, she is. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison, so it's very possible, envy, that she could definitely get a pardon in three years, because, you know, 20. So, you know, we'll see. But you're right, Charlemagne, because he was. He was a sentence. She was a sentence for abusing or helping to abuse young girls. So. So, you know, we'll see what happens. But, you know, this is not the first time that Trump has opened that door to giving her a pardon.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So if you're trying to make people forget about the Epstein files, pardoning Jerlaine Maxwell is not going to help with that. In no way, shape, or form at all.

[Mimi Brown]

All right, well, after a week filled with headlines about power and control, there's another battle over who gets to decide what we see, what we learn, and what we read. So it is Banned Books Week, which means schools and libraries across. Across the country are shining a light, a light on stories that are being silen. According to PEN America, nearly 7,000 book bans were enacted last year, most of them in Florida, Texas, and Tennessee. And so when you look at what books are making this list? You might be surprised. These are among the top 10 most banned books in America. And Charlemagne, we're going to start with one that is your favorite. I'm talking about Judy Bloom's forever classic. Yes, that is on the banned books list. It's. They said that it is. It's banned for explicit content.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So. But that's. That's why I be saying when it comes to, like, stuff like brand safety, like, you know, brand safety is subjective. That's why, you know, advertisers need to move away from brand safety, because why the hell is Judy Bloom forever on the band books list? Who. Who says Judy Bloom forever isn't safe?

[Jasmine]

Well, what is. What. What is the book about?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Why is it on this of age.

[Mimi Brown]

Story about first love, you know, and it was written all the way back in 1975. Jess. So. So it's been literally like 50, 50 years and they're still challenging this book.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, it's just about teenage sexuality that, like, it's. The. The show is based off Judy Bloom's fellow.

[Jasmine]

Okay, so it's a book about that. Okay. They bandit.

[Havoc]

Yep.

[Mimi Brown]

Polls show that most Americans disagree with these bands. 71% say that they oppose books being removed from schools and libraries. And if you want to see a full list, you can go to pen.org and so also, you guys, have you ever talked about something near your phone and then five minutes later, you saw an ad for it on Instagram?

[Jasmine]

Listen, I could be thinking about something and see it. No, not even just talking. When you think about something, it pops up on your phone.

[Mimi Brown]

Yes, that is what everyone is saying. And so Instagram CEO, he put out a video yesterday, and this is what he had to say. Let's take a listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We do not listen to you. We do not use the phone's microphone to eavesdrop on you. Now, first of all, if we did, it would be a gross violation of privacy. You would drain your phone's battery and you would notice, and you would actually see a little light on the top of the screen letting you know that the microphone was on.

[Jasmine]

Yeah. So he lying. I don't care. I don't care what nobody say. He's lying. Yes, y' all are listening. Those front cameras be on. Y' all watching. I don't care. It's been like that for years. There's no way. What other explanation would we have to see exactly what we've been talking about and thinking about five minutes later?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So, you know, they watching. Do you put on a show or you just leave.

[Jasmine]

I perform every day, so. Performing every day?

[Mimi Brown]

No, I'm with you, Jess. But starting today, Instagram will begin notifying users about an AI powered feature that's going to shape what shows up in your feed, from ads to suggested photos. So this new tool will start using your chat activity, your likes, your search behavior to personalize your recommendations even more. So, as we just heard, Instagram says they are not eavesdropping. They say it is your algorithm. They say they partner with advertisers who share data about the sites that you visit, the videos that you watch, and the posts that you engage with. So in other words, if you click on a shoe ad or you follow a fitness page, expect to see more of that. But like you just said, a lot of people are not convinced, especially with this new AI assistant that's rolling out. It's going to be be tracking your preferences. So it's just being rolled out today. But by December 16, the idea is that Instagram will be able to maybe watch the chats in your dm and your discovery page will look a lot like what you've been writing, videos you've been sending friends, all of those different things.

[Jasmine]

That's even weird. Like, that's even worse, actually. So his statement was definitely unnecessary. I don't even need it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah, I will say there's algorithms that make me not even want to be on my phone anymore. And the reason I say that is because the beauty. The beauty of social media used to be discovering all of these different things.

[DJ Envy]

Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But if you're just sending me a bunch of UFO videos because I watch UFO videos, I get bored.

[Jasmine]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

All right, y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

All right, when we come back, we have Havoc from Mobb Deep. We're talking about Mobb Deep's last album, Infinite. All right, it comes out this week and we're gonna talk to Havoc all about it. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's DJ Envy.

[DJ Envy]

Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lola Rose is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. We have Havoc here. Havoc. What's up, brother?

[Havoc]

What's going on?

[DJ Envy]

How you feeling?

[Havoc]

Real good, real good.

[DJ Envy]

Havoc from Mobb Deep, of course, New Album. Album Infinite, out on this Friday.

[Havoc]

That's right.

[DJ Envy]

How did you put this album together?

[Havoc]

Oh, man, it was. It was a long time in the making because, you know, after the untimely death of Prodigy, you know what I mean, it was something that I wanted to do, but it took me a minute because, you know, the family was in the grieving process, but to make a long story short, linked up with Alc Alchemist, and we knew we had to start. You know what I mean? Start the album. So flew out there. I had a couple of songs already. You know what I'm saying? Some verses from Prodigy's family, and Alchemist had a ton of verses already, so we just started putting it together and just breaking it down.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How did you pick which verses? Like, when you're going through Prodigy, you know, verses that we've never heard.

[Havoc]

Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How you pick which ones? Because we were anticipating hearing it.

[Havoc]

Right, right. I mean, it was kind of hard because, I mean, to me, you know what I'm saying, all Prodigy verses is dope. You know what I mean? So it was hard, I mean, because we ended up with, like, what, 25 songs in a. You know, ended up with 15, but I don't know, you know, just the best ones, you know, I mean, out of Prodigies versus if. If I could pick. It's really hard, though.

[DJ Envy]

Now, were any of these songs done already from y' all already or these were all you had to get every new verses from? You know, whether his. His daughter. I see his daughter raps his family or Alchemist?

[Havoc]

I mean, you know, I thought that I was getting most of the verses was, like, unheard verses, but, like, one of them was, like, you know, released like, 14 years ago, so. So, you know what I'm saying, we took. Wipe the dust off and, you know, rocked with the songs or whatever. But most of them is just verses that nobody never heard before. Especially, you know, I'm saying some. Some that Al has, like, it's, like, crazy versus, like, for real. But, you know, I was giving some verses from the family, and I just. You know, technology. You could just take a verse. If it's like 92 bpms, you could put it down to 88, or you can speed it up to 100. So it's like, kind of seemingly.

[DJ Envy]

How was the. The family were doing this? Did the family want a new Mob Deep album out? Were they cool with it or they were like.

[Havoc]

Yeah, they was cool with it. They was cool with it, but they just wanted to make sure that they was part of the process and that they wasn't left out. So, you know, the first time that we started working on the album, we had Prodigy's daughter there, you know what I'm saying, and getting her blessings. And she was, you know, she was kind of got a little emotional when she was hearing her father, you know what I'm saying? As me, and I was getting emotional. Who listening to Prodigy talk like, you know, acapella talk about, yo, I see you on the other side and you know I love you. It's crazy.

[DJ Envy]

How was your relationship with before he passed?

[Havoc]

It was actually. I feel like I got my friend back, you know what I mean? Because right before he passed, like real talk, we were shopping at Whole Foods, you know, trying to get on a healthy path. And he. After we did that, he knocked on my hotel door like, he never comes to my room. Came to my room. And we was just kicking it, like, just trying to go down a healthy journey. Cause, you know, we had had, you know, a little dust up before that.

[DJ Envy]

What was that dust up for? Cause I always would say, like, Mobb Deep is that one crew. I'm like, them, they are never like, they just so from the same area. They didn't been through beefs and this and that and problems with money. Like, they didn't been through it all. So I figured that y' all were that one group that was like, nah. But y' all had a little situation.

[Havoc]

At one point, I just say this, like, when it come to alcohol, just stay away from social media. You know what I'm saying? Just. Just leave that alone. Some things, like brothers go through things, but that's supposed to be behind the scenes. You feel me? So it was just built up frustration and me taking the social media, like, I wasn't taught to go to social media and air out my differences. So that's something that I did. And Prodigy kept it, like, real classy. Like, with it, he was, you know what I'm saying, a class general with it. He didn't even engage in that little dust up. But, you know, it was a little strain on the relationship. We broke up for like a year, then we came back together, toured, and then slowly but surely just kept building that brotherhood back.

[DJ Envy]

And after that breakup, how did y' all get back together? Like, what was that conversation? Who reached out first or who put y' all together?

[Havoc]

Because we both got friends in common, right? So it wasn't like, yo, okay, today y' all gonna meet up. It was like that gradual, gradual, graduate, graduate. And then we just end up in the studio together, you know what I'm saying? And it was like nothing ever happened.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Havoc]

Like, the beat is up and we just like. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So we gonna do X, Y and Z, and you know what I mean? But we did get a chance to kind of like, talk, you know? You know, I knew him since I was 15, you know what I'm saying? So that was like my brother. Brother, for real, you know what I'm saying? And it was just crazy when he passed, how close we was getting before that.

[DJ Envy]

And y' all were in Vegas when he passed, right?

[Havoc]

Yeah, we was in Vegas. We had just did one of those shows. I think Ice T be throwing those tours with. With a lot of the old school artists or whatever. Nori was there, Raekwon a ghost, and he wasn't feeling well. And, you know, I just thought it was just like one of those regular sickle cell crisis, and he'll, you know, be back home in New York.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, is there. Because I know that this is you working with Mass Appeal.

[Havoc]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

To drop this. Is there anything Just because this is also. People are looking at this as like, a comeback project or like a return project, but it's also a tribute as well.

[Havoc]

Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Is there anything when people are listening to the. The music from Prodigy that we haven't heard? Like, when you were putting together and producing all of this, like, what was the message you wanted his fans to get from him in hearing him again?

[Havoc]

Well, you know, I. I don't think that it was so much of me, like, wanting a message to be put out there about Prodigy. The fans know what they wanted, you know what I mean? Like, I. I'm constantly getting harassed by the fans. Like, yo, when you putting out that Mom Deep album, I mean, look, I don't got no control over that, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't own Prodigy versus So it was a process, you know what I mean? But, you know, I hope that, you know, the supporters get from it. Like, yo, you know, P was one of the illest MCs out there, and I think that, you know, he has some unfinished business.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Was there. What was the pressure like, for you, if any? Cause this been, what, since 2014, since.

[DJ Envy]

When you dropped your project?

[Havoc]

Yeah, the pressure was crazy, you know what I'm saying? Cause of course, you know, the music landscape been changed, you know what I'm saying? Omar Deep. But. But we stay in our lane, you know what I mean? And I just kind of like, that's All I wanted to do is just stay in our lane. I try to go above and beyond and trying to sound like I'm doing some drill music or something like that, you know what I mean? I just wanted to stay Mob Deep.

[DJ Envy]

Now, you did this deal with Nas's Mass Appeal, she just mentioned.

[Havoc]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

How involved was Nas with this project? And why did y' all decide to sign with the Nas and do the collaboration with Mass Appeal?

[Havoc]

Nas kind of like took the hands off approach, you know what I mean? We trusted Nas, you know what I mean? We know him, of course, obviously, since the beginning, you know, I mean, from the top. And he in position right now, you know what I mean? So we, like, we. Tons of people would have did the Mob Deep album, you know what I mean? But at the end of the day, it was like, who. Who do we trust? I trust Nas, you know what I mean? I'm like, okay, he over there at Mass Appeal. We sat with them. And it wasn't about the money. It's just more like who would do justice to the project, you know what I mean? And we trusted Nas for that. And, you know, he took a hands off approach, but when it was time to, you know, give a little bit of critique, he gave it.

[DJ Envy]

He did two verses on it as well.

[Havoc]

Three.

[DJ Envy]

Three verses on it?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Havoc]

I mean, three verses for Nas.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Havoc]

You know what I'm saying? I think that's a good way to go out, you know what I mean? On the Mall Deep album, that was cool, you know, featuring her, Georgia Smith, you know, two phenomenal artists, and Porter Henny.

[DJ Envy]

A lot of your stories have been going viral in the last couple of days, right? Of course, the park stories always go viral. The Jay Z stories go viral. But the mind frame back then, when you felt like the west coast was taking a stab at the east, right? And y' all said, nah, this can't happen. Break that down. Because y' all were probably one of the first to jump out the window and be like, we riding all day long. And. And how difficult was it when y' all were touring and going to these markets and seeing these people? And did you ever run into any of the people that you. You shot at on it? I mean, on. On record, I should say, yo, check it out.

[Havoc]

Like, when you in places like Minneapolis and you see people throwing up gang signs and holding up Tupac posters, you don't even know if you're gonna make it out of there. You understand what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So that's that.

[Havoc]

You know what I Mean, never mind going to the west coast, you know what I'm saying? But, you know, back in those days, we was in our 20s, you know what I'm saying? We invincible. We like what we got. Beef is on. I'm surprised more artists in New York didn't come out swinging singing, you understand what I'm saying? This is nyc. And, yeah, we love our west coast brethrens, for sure. But we gonna let you know, if you clap at us, we're gonna clap back, you know what I'm saying? You know, a couple of artists came representing New York, but not in a way where we, like, yo, y' all kick it down the buildings. Like, nah, you know what I'm saying? We're not letting you do that. But it was. It was. It was a test, you know what I'm saying? Because it was. It was serious back then. People was getting shot and things of that nature. But we came out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We.

[Havoc]

We survived it.

[DJ Envy]

And I never ran into anybody on the West Coast. Y' all never ran into a PAC back in the day? Nobody.

[Havoc]

Nah. And it's not like we was hiding, you understand what I'm saying? Like, we went to. We was in la. We had to be in la, you know, to promote the project. But he passed, you know, like, when the Beef was about to be on, we came out with a project that's. We was about to hell on earth. And he got shot, you know what I'm saying? That kind of just made everything like.

[DJ Envy]

And y' all even switch singles because that. They said the single was la la.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right?

[DJ Envy]

He got killed or shot, right?

[Havoc]

Because. No, it was Drop A Gem on Him.

[DJ Envy]

Drop a Gem on Him.

[Havoc]

It was Drop A Gem on Him. We put that out and it was. It was. It was. It was going viral, so to speak, for back then, you know what I mean? But then he got shot, and it's like, yo, son, let's pull the record. Like, me and Pete, like, yo, let's pull it. Not even the label saying that. And we pulled the record. And then eventually he definitely passed away. So it was like, damn. But we put it on the album.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And pulling the record, I mean, I know it's common sense to be like, okay, you pulling it, because now things are, like, so serious. But in that moment when y' all made that decision, the conversations, like, I think a lot of people hear these stories too. And it just sounds like it's like kind of like almost like a folktale to us. But you were like, in that moment, like, what's the feeling of, like, is it okay we want to pull it? Because we just don't even want to be involved in this anymore, even though you already there. Or is it, like, out of respect? Like, what's the real?

[Havoc]

Like, like, for real, for real?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Like, why.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Why pull it? Because at that point, y' all are already, like, we hear we doing this. Like, we poking out our chest.

[Havoc]

Look, at the end of the day, he was a brother. He was our brother. Like, we might have beef with him and all of that, but we don't wish death on nobody. You understand what I'm saying? And we not that thirsty, like, to be like, whatever he did, like, keep it moving. Like, that would have been bad taste anyway. You know what I'm saying? It would have been tasteless. So we just was like, nah, that's. Let's pull it. You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

Your relationship with Big was not the best. What you mean, was it. Was it good? Because I. I thought the relationship wasn't necessarily the greatest. You and B I G. Oh, for real?

[Havoc]

Me, Me and B I G, we got the same birthday.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, I didn't know that. Did y' all ever have conversations the same. Because y' all were both getting shot at like crazy. Did y' all ever have conversations like, let's do this together right now?

[Havoc]

Unfortunately, that's another one that passed away so early. You understand what I'm saying? Saying, because, you know, Puff said, yo, come to the studio. I need you to do some music with Big. I didn't even know the locks gonna be on the song Last Days. So I'm in there doing that. He in another room because I guess he was recording like crazy back then, you know? You know what I mean? So we never got a chance to really have a conversation. We went on tour together. You know what I'm saying? The last memories I have a Big is being in Ohio and we supposed to go on. But Big was like, f that I'm going on before y'. All. Cause they spraying mace in the crowd, like. Like. Like, you know, like, the gang members is wilder. I didn't even know Ohio had gangs like that. But those are the memories I have with him. So we didn't get a chance to, like, really kick it, kick it. But I think if he had he lived longer, we'd have probably been partying together, you know what I'm saying? Same birthday. Gemini, too.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How did watching, you know, the death of Tupac and then of Biggie change how you felt about just being an artist at the time? Like, Were you scared?

[DJ Envy]

But did it change because y' all ain't stopped beefing? Y' all kept going. Y' all never stop.

[Havoc]

Nah, you know what? To be honest with you, it was like. I felt it was mad disrespectful. You understand what I'm saying? For, like, it's like, no. Like, you just killing artists. Like, y' all just. You know what I'm saying? I understand. You know what I'm saying? Artists as human beings, but it's like, no respect for the artist. Like, y' all just murking the artist. So that had me super concerned. Like, you know, I'm like, wow. Like, it's. You know, you already got your concerns when you going on tour, making sure you safe. But now just. People just get out of here. Like, bye. You going. You. Nah, that was crazy.

[DJ Envy]

I always tell everybody if we have a hip hop conversation, my favorite beat, Heaven, I think I told you before, is shook ones, right? It's just when you think of hip hop, there's nothing that out. Hip hop, Shook ones, just. Just a raw, just uncut. It doesn't sound like it's ever filtered.

[Havoc]

It was.

[DJ Envy]

Just. Doesn't feel like it's never mixed. It's. And it just feels like that. But I also feel like when. A lot of times when they talk about some of the greatest producers in this industry and in the game, they don't mention you, right? How does that make you feel? Cause they'll mention the Dre's. They'll mention so many other people. But I never. A lot of times I don't hear havoc.

[Havoc]

I mean, you know, it could get frustrating. You know what I'm saying? It get frustrating when your name is not being mentioned, when you feel like it should be mentioned. But at the same time, we never got nominated for Grammys. And I'm sure we had albums that was platinum and gold during the time when other artists were platinum gold and that, you know, and we never got nominated. So I just feel like it's in the same vein. But you know what? My peers. You know what I'm saying? When I see them, like, I just seen Dr. Dre the other day. He like, yo, you inspired me. And I'm looking at him like. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, you inspired me, but I feel him. I understand what he's saying. Cause we all inspire each other. So things like that kind of negate the frustration I feel of not being mentioned. Because I could see somebody like Dr. J, and they be like, yo, son, like, you know what I mean? That's all I be needing.

[DJ Envy]

That's all you need. Same thing with Prodigy. With lyrics, though. I think a lot of people don't necessarily understand how nice he was lyrically. And he doesn't get into a lot of those conversations as well either.

[Havoc]

He don't. But then you have somebody like Jay Z, if you ask him a question about Prodigy, he'd be like, prodigy was one of those ones. Ones. You understand what I'm saying? So when people don't involve them in the conversation, but they rapper's favorite rapper is screaming, they like not screaming their name, but giving them the credit. I think sometimes that's. That's the just dude sometimes. And then eventually the. The generations that's going to come after us when they start doing a little investigation like we used to do with the. Maybe not y', all because they're a little younger, but, you know, with the 70s, like, we pulling like James Brown, we pulling all these stylistic blue magic, they gonna start pulling those mob Deep records and being like, damn, what's this? This sounded crazier than all that other stuff that's supposed to be top 40, you know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. And how you mentioned Jay. How did that beef ever start? And do you ever regret never producing for hov? Is that one of the things off top?

[Havoc]

Of course. You know what I'm saying? As a producer, you want to produce for the.

[DJ Envy]

The best producer for every New York great.

[Havoc]

But that one, right, That's. That's the one I'm chasing. You know what I mean? But shout out to ho. So when that beef happened, I had to stand with my brother.

[DJ Envy]

How did it start?

[Havoc]

Oh, it started because back to what we was talking about with the, you know, Snoop.

[DJ Envy]

Snoop came through and crushed the.

[Havoc]

Crushed the builders. And then we came with LA la, and then I think Prodigy seen an article with. Wait, matter of fact, I think Jay Z says something in his line about New York been soft since he didn't appreciate it. And then he said something in a magazine and called. Called hold out his name. Oh, is it. You know, saying there's a contact sport. He. You know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

He.

[Havoc]

In his prom, he going right back at Prodigy. So it. It just started right there.

[DJ Envy]

Right. Do you feel like that beef hurt my deep.

[Havoc]

I'm not gonna say that It. It hurt Mal deep. But it. It could have did a little. A little nice little delay, you know what I mean? Because when you got somebody like that just coming at you, you know what I'm saying, it's like it start chipping away, you know, that armor.

[DJ Envy]

I always wanted to know what Nas said during that time when y'.

[Havoc]

All.

[DJ Envy]

Because y' all all beefing together, right? Did Nas ever say, yo, let's do this together? Like, what was that conversation like?

[Havoc]

Nah, he was on his lone wolf real quick, you know what I mean? He came out with that ether. It was like, you know, I mean, nobody saw it coming. You know what I mean?

[Jasmine]

He.

[Havoc]

We never ever had a conversation about like, yo, yeah, man, let's. Let's go get him.

[DJ Envy]

Let's jump him. Let's jump him now. That was never the conversation. Now, I always like to ask, these are my two favorite beats, My two favorite hip hop beats. I want you to break down when you created SHK ones and when you created Quietstorm, right? And whose choice was it to put of every artist out there, why, Little Kim? So let's start off with breaking out SHK1. So where were you when you made Create when you made Shook ones? And did you know that was gonna be what it was?

[Havoc]

Shook Ones. I made that in my. In Queens Ridge, in my mom's apartment, where I grew up at, right? Dirty records all over the floor. Scratch pop, vinyl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Know.

[Havoc]

Didn't even really know what I was doing. Then the crew came in the crib, Prodigy, all of this. Yeah, what's this? I was like, oh, it's whatever, whatever. I'm about to turn the computer, you know, the drum machine. No, no, no, no. Don't, don't. Don't turn it off. Keep it. Kept it. We did a song to it, actually. We had a ship once. Part two and then part one and then. Then this became part two, and it took off. I had no idea it was going to do that. Quiet Storm. I ran out of samples, you know what I mean? I ran out of anything to sample. So I'm just looking at the. This Sugar Hill Gang record, like, damn, let me just try you for now. Because I. That's a record that I always pass, like, you know, white lines and all of that. Nobody's not putting that on. You know what I mean? So put that on, sampled it. I said, let me slow it down maybe like, you know, slow it down, throw some rim shots to it, and just did it. Didn't think nothing of it. Prodigy used to come to my house, go in the basement to the studio while I'm sleep, and then when I went down, he's like, yo, have. What's this? I was like, like, it's whatever. It wasn't nothing. And he did a whole solo song to it. And then we ended up making it. The first single on. I Believe It Was Murder Music. And I was kind of a little upset by then because Chris Lighty, God Bless the Day, he was like, yo, we making this the first single. I'm like, yo, I'm not on it. You know what I'm saying? He was like, but you made the beat. And I think that was the time when. Now everybody's just looking at me as a producer and not even a rapper, so. So that was a. That's another story, you know what I mean? That I'm getting looked at just as a producer when I just be trying to, like, you know, write my life away on the paper. But it's all good.

[DJ Envy]

And then how did y' all get. What was the decision to put Little Kim? Why Little Kim? Of all the female MCs at that time, why Kim?

[Havoc]

I mean, come on, Envy, you know what time it is. We go in the club right now, Mob Deep's in the club. It's just. It's a sausage fest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right?

[Havoc]

You know what I'm saying? So we like, yo, we need to. We need to get the chicks involved. Who we could get. Who we could get Little Kim. And she agreed to do it. I went to the studio. I seen her in there writing her verse. She sung my hook over. I'm telling you, that record took off. Off like you couldn't.

[DJ Envy]

It was genius. It was to the day where you could put out a street record and it could be a single. And to this Day is Kim's. One of Kim's biggest verses. It just connects. Hot damn hoe, here we go again.

[Havoc]

And she got that little. The dance that she do to this day still.

[Lauren LaRosa]

To this day.

[DJ Envy]

To this day.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. I was thinking about you. You mentioned, like, going in the club and, like, using that and bringing that back into the music. Maybe some artists do that now, but I think a lot of artists are geared toward, like, tick tock and numbers and research. Because the industry has changed.

[Havoc]

Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Envy always talks about how lit the club scene in New York was and all the artists and all the things.

[DJ Envy]

Like, I always tell her that everybody used to be outside.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

When we was clubbing, like, it was. There were no. I would say rich or broke.

[Havoc]

It was.

[DJ Envy]

It would be the dude from the block on the left side, right Mobb Deep on the right, Hove in this corner, Kim and them on this side. You would see Nas was always in a cup by himself. Somehow some Way wiggling in and out. You would see the Lost Boys, you would just see so many. You would see everybody in the club and you would see how music reacts. And like you said, it wouldn't matter. You play the gangster's record, Girls is rapping, dudes is rapping. And we would go from club to club, night to night. And it was just a feeling. In New York, I always tell about that you just could never change. It was just. Just something about that.

[Havoc]

I mean, it was an amazing time, you know what I mean? Like, when street records was. You was able to dance to it, you didn't have to make a radio record, you know what I mean? But once your record took off in the clubs, you was kind of like pretty much out of there. I think the clubs dictated hits.

[DJ Envy]

When you signed with 50, when y' all did the deal with 50, break that down. And why y' all decided to sign that deal? And where were y' all at that point? As far as Mobb Deep to get?

[Havoc]

Yeah, I mean, if you get off of some Ferraris, you not go inside the deal.

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely.

[Havoc]

But nah, 50 called me. We was free agents at that point. I think we had been on jive.

[DJ Envy]

Yep.

[Havoc]

We sold150,000 records the first week. That wasn't good enough for Job today. I mean, that's like probably platinum or something like that.

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely. But it was happy with 30,000.

[Havoc]

Exactly. So I guess we was ahead of our time or not, whatever it is. But 50 called me.

[Jasmine]

Me.

[Havoc]

I. And I had already worked with 50. Like maybe a year before that, before he was bubbling on the mixtape, I remember. And he was one of my favorite artists, you know what I'm saying? We did bump dad and clap those things or whatever. And that was supposed to be for my solo album. Loud folded, never came out. And then the next, you know, a year later, somebody named 50 Cent is just going bubbling right. So we kept that relationship going, and by the time we became free agents, gave me a call, said, I want to sign y'. All. He swept us up into the G Unit umbrella, went on tour, the rest was history.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why?

[DJ Envy]

How come you never signed more artists? Because you. You were the producer. You were the artist. How could you? Because you could, I'm sure, sign 50 early on, besides Big Noy, who did y'?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All?

[Havoc]

True. You know what it is? I. I guess I haven't ever found the artist that I truly like. Yo, I like, I can. I just don't want to sign somebody just to sign somebody. Like, I guess my. My Bar is high, high, you know, I really want to sign that artist now. There's an artist that I did want to sign that she wasn't signed at the time. It was a Jasmine Sullivan. She just came in to, like, write because back then I was like getting people to throw reference vocals. And Steve, I was working with Stevie J and he knew her and got her to the studio. And I was like, God damn. I was like, yo, she's nice, you know what I mean? But she's one of those artists that, you know is going to get a major record deal and get signed. You got to come, come with the business if you want to sign a Jasmine Sullivan. But for instance, like, I don't run across artists like that all the time. And those are the artists that I really want to. You know what I mean? And they few and far between.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So you didn't sign her only because the deal situation wasn't gonna be what you thought it should be or like, how did that not move?

[Havoc]

I wasn't ready, you know what I'm saying? I ain't gonna lie, you know, female artists is like high maintenance, you know what I'm saying? It come with a lot, you know what I'm saying? Not to. You know what I'm saying?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I mean, because you got glam and branding. And I will say, although Jasmine Sullivan jeans, that's it. Yeah. No, our T shirt and je different. But Jasmine Sullivan is one of the best singers, period, in the game. Right? But I feel like it took people so long. It was hotels for me when people even started recognizing her the way that they should have. And she had been working for so long before that. So I'm sure a lot of money was poured into that.

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So I understand what you're saying, but y' all didn't even have a conversation and attempt to see, like, what she would say to your offer.

[Havoc]

I had the conversation in my mind.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying?

[Havoc]

Like, I, I wish that I, I, you know, because I was just, you know, I was in my own way, you know what I mean? But the artists in me wanted her to shine, you know what I mean? And not even, you know, try to get in her way, but, you know, that's what it is. Like, I never come across artists of that caliber. It's really hard, right? Like, you know, so that's why I.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Was gonna ask, what's the biggest bag you ever, you ever missed out on? Because just business wise, you didn't plan for that.

[Havoc]

The biggest bag I missed out on was for a Super bowl commercial. They wanted to use the Mobb Deep music in the super bowl commercial. And for whatever reason, a lawyer took too long and we missed out on the opportunity. So, yeah, that. That hurt. Still hurt.

[DJ Envy]

So. So you're doing this album as a passion project. Cause obviously you don't need the money if you're still getting paid.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like you said.

[DJ Envy]

I ain't say that. Infinite is out this Friday, and we. We appreciate you for joining us, man. I love these stories, and I just love to see the growth because I was a kid in Queens and I watched what y' all did, and we admire that. You know, I mean, from the driving the cars, the shooting, the Shook Ones video to all that, we got a chance to see it. So the fact that you're still heavy and you're still doing it, man, we appreciate you, bro.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And this is how we got a date for the Method Man Covid album.

[Havoc]

Oh, yeah, the Method Man Covid. We don't have a date, but me and him are actively in the studio. And he tried to put me in the headlock. I didn't let him. But he said, we gotta finish this album.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We're gonna finish this for a couple months. We wait for a date, but.

[Havoc]

Okay, I know we'll have one soon, though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Thanks for joining us, though.

[Havoc]

Thank you. Thanks for having me.

[DJ Envy]

Album comes out this Friday. It's havoc. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Havoc]

She gets them from 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 this. The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, so Mark Sanchez, former NFL quarterback, also now turned sports caster, sports anchor for Fox, was there was a stabbing incident that happened. Now, when this story was first reported, it was just reported that Mark Sanchez had been stabbed in an incident. There weren't really too many details. And then more details came out yesterday. Police in Indianapolis, which is where this went down, downtown Indianapolis held a press conference and the Marion county prosecutor says or made the announcement that Mark Sanchez's charges because he was later arrested in the hospital, once they reviewed surveillance video, have escalated from misdemeanors to one of. To a level 5 felony battery charge involving serious bodily injury which carries anywhere from one to six years behind bars. Now, the police say in this press conference that. That the charge was elevated after they looked at the Alleged victim's conditions. They say the victim suffered a severe laceration to the side of his face penetrating all the way through his left cheek. Now, for background.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Stop it, man.

[DJ Envy]

Why would you use that word?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You could have used any word.

[DJ Envy]

You could have went through the cheek. But as soon as you said penetrate from one side to the other side, you knew he was gonna laugh. You did that on purpose.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I am just here reporting the news and getting you guys opinions and takes.

[DJ Envy]

Back to the penetration. Go ahead.

[Havoc]

Boring.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Lauren, don't do nothing on purpose.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, yo.

[DJ Envy]

So why you use that word? I knew it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I knew it.

[Jasmine]

You too, you funny.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, go ahead. Yes. So the, the victim suffered that laceration that I just mentioned. But for background, because we didn't originally report this story, Mark Sanchez was hit with three misdemeanor charges, as I mentioned. So he got into an incident with a guy that drives a delivery truck. It's a 69 year old man. He was driving a truck early Saturday morning and he parked at like a loading dock. He was dropping off oil to a hotel fryer. Oil to a hotel at a loading dock. And him.

[Havoc]

And.

[DJ Envy]

What'S funny about that one?

[Jasmine]

See, she said, she said. She came back and said fire oil. But you dropping off oil to a hotel is crazy too. Go ahead, Lauren. Oh, thank you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oil Diddy. Okay. Basically they got into it. Yeah, that was Mark Sanchez. And this guy allegedly got into it because he claims or alleges that Mark Sanchez was upset about where he parked the truck. So allegedly the, you know, the back and forth with them got heated to the point where this guy alleges he feared for his life. So he stabbed Mark Shaz a few times after trying to pepper spray him. He said that it didn't work. And so both of them ended a parking spot.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wasn't Mark allegedly drunk too?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. So allegedly Mark was intoxicated and it got really, really int. Fence. And the man says he tried to calm the situation down, tried to pepper spray him, didn't work. So then he says that he stabbed him. And this man was also injured as well too. They were both taken to the hospital that surveillance video that I mentioned came about, and that's when Mark Sanchez was arrested while in the hospital.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So Mark allegedly did this. I'm looking at the picture in the New York Post. He did this to the guy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I didn't even see that picture, but.

[Jasmine]

Jesus, that man looked.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So now you can tell that by the end of this press conference that police are really, really upset. They wanted to make it clear that Mark Sanchez. It doesn't matter who you are. We're going to investigate this the way it should be investigated. And the guy, his name is Perry Toll, has already filed a lawsuit. So he filed a lawsuit against Mark Sanchez and Fox for assault, battery, and then against Fox for negligent hiring, retention and supervision.

[DJ Envy]

He says, yeah, he wasn't on duty.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So he's saying, he's saying Fox should have known that Sanchez was a bad fit as an employee, allegedly due to his propensity for drinking and. Or harmful content. Content conduct. I'm sorry. Because Mark Sanchez was in town to call a game. But that didn't happen once all this happened and he got replaced. So.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, now you can't see like he wasn't working like this man was. That's crazy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

But you can sue anything for, for anybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If I'm looking at this picture of this guy in this newspaper and this is true, if Mark Sanchez was drunk and he put hands on this guy like that and seemed like the guy's defending himself to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, yeah. And Mark Sanchez has. Hadn't said anything or any reps for him had not said anything. But he did issue a statement yesterday. His family says this has been a deeply distressing time for everyone involved. Mark and our family are incredibly grateful for the concern, love and support we've received over the past few days. That comes from his brother Nick. In a statement that was given at tmz, Mark remains under medical care for the serious injuries he sustained and is focused on his recovery. As the legal process continues, we'd like to extend our heartfelt thanks to responders and medical staff and because police made it clear both people could have really been harmed really badly, like died in this situation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This looks like more than a cheek was penetrated.

[DJ Envy]

Well, and how old was the gentleman?

[Lauren LaRosa]

The guy is 69 years old and he looked.

[Jasmine]

Oh, you know, he white. So he looked way older. But that's crazy, man.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Well, there.

[DJ Envy]

So 70 years old. Mark is what, 47?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm not for sure. But the, the. So the laceration to the face that we mentioned. Mentioned, that's the one that made them elevate the charges. But he was stabbed in. The 69 year old man was also stabbed in his upper torso as well. And police say that they're alleging Sanchez is 38. That mark was the aggressor in this situation. Who.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The old man got stabbed too.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's the. Yes, that's the guy that was.

[Jasmine]

And it didn't work, so he had to Stab him?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No. But you said the old man got stabbed too.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Both of them were stabbed. Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn.

[DJ Envy]

Now he's 70. That man is 70 years old. Mark Sanchez is 38.

[Jasmine]

And he looks. Looks.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Jasmine]

In bad shape. Like. He's in bad shape for sure from that picture.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Well, the police say both people. To be clear, both people could have died from this situation because these. These injuries could have been very, you know, could have not bounced back from him. And that's why they're taking this so serious. I mean, they take everything serious, the police, but they wanted to make that clear. Yeah, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So who allegedly stabbed the old man? Marches.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. So basically, I'll explain to you.

[Jasmine]

Stabbing each other.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's a Latino. To me. They was going at it, boy. God dang.

[Jasmine]

He said, Jesus Christ. Up and down.

[DJ Envy]

It must have had to be one knife. Maybe he took the knife from the.

[Jasmine]

The old individual.

[Havoc]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Because I'm sure Mark Sanchez wasn't walking around with a knife or a blip. Well, I don't know.

[Jasmine]

Okay, that's crazy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It is.

[Jasmine]

So he said mark first, and then Mark was like, oh, no, you don't. And then stabbed him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah, that's what happened. Yeah. Actually, the truck driver Perry told. Told cops he stabbed Sanchez multiple times in self defense after being attacked. And he said, chance, that Sanchez then took Toll's knife and slashed his cheek open.

[DJ Envy]

See what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cutting the man's tongue in the process. Wow.

[Jasmine]

Wow.

[DJ Envy]

Because I can't see Mark Sanchez walking around with a blade.

[Havoc]

You know what I mean?

[Jasmine]

Right. So we took it from the guy.

[DJ Envy]

Allegedly.

[Jasmine]

And the guy was probably slow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Where is the video?

[Jasmine]

He was probably real slow.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know, but I mean, like.

[Jasmine]

He was probably moving slow.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The full video hasn't been released, but there is video of the man being put on a stretcher. There was obviously video because they said that's what made them upgrade the charges.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I wonder what happened, because if.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The guy video of Mark walking away from the scene too.

[Havoc]

Like.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like limping away from the scene with a lot of blood on his shirt. So, yeah, this is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I bet you Tequila was involved too. I can't put my finger on it or confirm it, but I guarantee you.

[Jasmine]

There, that old man had some. Some fighting him because 70 years old and you was able to stab him like that.

[Caller/Rick]

That.

[DJ Envy]

That's what I'm saying.

[Jasmine]

Quicker than that, because m got that knife. Like. Sorry.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Jasmine]

Sorry.

[DJ Envy]

We have to go now. Lauren, I'm sorry.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I was trying to throw to the Topic.

[Jasmine]

Oh, I'm sorry. Happy birthday to Vladimir Putin, though. It's his birthday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was silly.

[Jasmine]

What? Well, they put it on the sheet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know why.

[Jasmine]

Yeah, they put it on the sheet. Vladimir Putin birthday and happy birthday, Tony Braxton.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You should have said Tony.

[Havoc]

Well, it's on the sheet.

[Jasmine]

Don't put it on here if I can't say it.

[DJ Envy]

I hate the show. Charl, man, who you give me donkey too, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Before. After the hour. I'm conflicted about this donkey. But we have a young man named Michael Stanick. He needs to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with him.

[DJ Envy]

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

[Havoc]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey.

[Mimi Brown]

A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. He said it gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Breakfast Club donkey of the day with Charlemagne, the guy.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know why y' all keep.

[Havoc]

Letting him get y' all like this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Donkey today for Tuesday, October 7th has me conflicted, okay? The common sense logical human in me wants to give it to 57 year old Michael Stanick. Michael is a Florida man, ladies and gentlemen. And what does your Uncle Charlotte always tell you about the great state of Florida? Say it with me. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is no exception. See, Michael was doing 107 miles per hour, okay? I know he deserves donkey of the day because there is never a reason to be speeding like that on the highway, all right? In fact, I don't even know why vehicles make cars that can go over whatever the speed limit is, okay? What's the point of having 100 plus on the dash? Especially in America, okay? I know the autobahn in Germany, that highway in Dubai, I think it is. They let you push it to 100 plus. But also, why? Why do you need to be going 100 miles per hour? You're not in NASCAR, okay? Hell, Marty McFly only had to go to 88 to initiate time travel. But Michael was doing 107 miles per hour. Not to mention, if you crash doing 100 miles per hour, you dead. There's no if ands or buts about it. And if you do survive, you will have long term physical and emotional trauma. So I just don't see the reason reason to ever be going that fast. But what does it say about me that when I first heard this story, I said he was tripping, but then when I heard the reason he was speeding, I kind of understood. Okay, hear me out. See, Michael was pulled over for going over 100 miles per hour. And he had a reason that I'm sure a lot of men can understand. What are some reasons a man could be speeding? Late picking up the kids from something, late for work, late picking up your, your wife, you know, your significant other. All of those are valid reasons to be speeding. Okay, Not a hundred. But if you were doing 100 plus, I wouldn't agree with you doing it, but I can understand why you would be doing it. But there might be a sleeper reason on that list, man. And this is why Michael Stanick has me slightly conflicted this morning. And I know this story is Florida. I know, I know. But what he told police, I think it's going, it's going to gonna, you know, be some men out there that can relate. We have the actual dash cam footage from Michaels to Nick after being pulled over for doing 107 miles per hour. Listen to his reason. Why don't you hop out for a second?

[Havoc]

Reason for the stop, we're going 107.

[DJ Envy]

Why are you going so fast?

[Caller/Rick]

I have a appointment with my barber.

[DJ Envy]

You have an appointment with your barber?

[Havoc]

New Sparrow and New Smyrna, so know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That car's kind of cold.

[DJ Envy]

So you go 107 miles an hour weaving in and out of traffic, putting other people's lives in danger.

[Havoc]

Now you get to go to jail for the night.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn. For the night?

[Caller/Rick]

For the night?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. You know, Florida criminal to go over 100 miles an hour.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I did it.

[Havoc]

Now, right now your car will be towed.

[Caller/Rick]

Now you'll be going to jail.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's just play the beginning back for me, right? Just the beginning. I need y' all to understand. Why Was he doing 107 miles per hour? He was honestly honest with the police officer. He had an appointment with his barber.

[Caller/Rick]

Listen, why don't you hop out for a second?

[Havoc]

Reason for the stop, I'm going 107.

[DJ Envy]

Why are you going so fast?

[Caller/Rick]

I have a problem with my barber.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can stop. Listen, come on, my brothers. I don't care what race you. Are we talking about our barbers here? Barbers are essential workers. Barbers, Barbers are as important as Doctors, nurses, therapists. Dennis, you have to have a primary care barber, okay? And when you have a primary care barber, they are usually in demand, so you have to respect their time because you want to be there when it's your appointment time. Sometimes you even get there a little earlier because he might be running late with another client or another client might be running late, so you get to cut into that person's time, okay? Now, I'm not making excuses for Michael, but if a man is speeding to get to the barber, that means he has some important things to do that day. And the haircut is the foundation of it all, okay? That's what folks don't understand. The way Fleece Johnson feels about booty in prison is how free men feel about haircuts, okay? There is nothing more important. When you have something to do, I don't care what outfit you got on, I don't care what you driving. I don't care what's on your feet. If you don't have a haircut, it's all for nothing. Once he again, not making excuses for why Michael was speeding, okay? He was doing 100 miles per hour. That's insane. But it has to be a certain level of understanding amongst men when it comes to these type of situations, okay? Also, I understand police officers have a job to do, but can the man get a break for his honesty? By the grace of God, nobody was hurt from his speeding. He told you he was trying to get to the barber. If you, a male officer, you gotta understand a little bit, right? Provide the man at escort, get him to the barber on time, don't take him to jail and mess up his day. You already see speeding, trying to get somewhere on time, and here you go making him even more late. No, no, no, no. That's not how that should go, okay? God bless those police officers, because if they hadn't have stopped Michael, he may have killed himself. Or even worse, killed someone. Okay, listen, kids. Leave soon, drive slower, live longer. If you're not in a rush to die, don't act like it when you get behind the wheel. Please give Michaels to Nick. The sweet sounds of the Hamiltones.

[DJ Envy]

Of the day. You are the doggy of the day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Envy. You look very stupid and beige in the face. I can tell when he wants to say something stupid. Working with this guy for 15 years.

[Havoc]

Go ahead, Envy.

[DJ Envy]

I know how that went. It went just like this, okay? I need a haircut. I can get you in if you could be to me by 2 o'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Clock. That's right.

[Jasmine]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

If not, I'm not open until tomorrow and I got a flight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He hit that gas and he hit that gas.

[Jasmine]

177 though.

[DJ Envy]

You gotta get to there. You gotta get there before 2 because he got another cut at 2:30. And you need that cut before your flight or before your date or before whatever you gotta do.

[Jasmine]

Even with you being slightly remedial, would you even say to the cop, y' all gotta.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's being honest.

[Jasmine]

What would you say?

[DJ Envy]

I ain't like the remedial stuff, but I'm sorry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cause I'd have just said retarded.

[Jasmine]

Yeah, I don't use that word on the radio.

[Havoc]

But.

[DJ Envy]

But anyway. Wait, no, no, I wouldn't say wouldn't what?

[Jasmine]

Cuz that's not.

[DJ Envy]

Nah.

[Jasmine]

So your black ass would say, I got a appointment with my bubba.

[DJ Envy]

No, he would say, I got a wax, I got a wax. I got a wax at 3. It can't be late.

[Jasmine]

I got a colonoscopy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm on time for stuff like that. But I would have just told the truth. Because you're probably going to jail anyway, so you probably got a better chance of telling the truth than not going to jail. Yes, cuz he told the truth. I got an appointment with my boss. Trouble?

[DJ Envy]

Nah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No. Yo.

[Jasmine]

You can say, yo, my wife is in labor, I'm having. I'm racing tour.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's a big lie.

[DJ Envy]

Check that one. He can check that big lie. You can check that one, big guy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

By the way, the only other reason to be speeding like that is if you bought the shot on yourself. That's happening. But you probably won't realize it's a reason to speed until you've shot it on yourself. And I've shot it on myself while driving. So I know that I would never be in that position again. If I would have hit the gas just a little bit more, I probably would have got to my desk.

[Jasmine]

But I thought you didn't f. In your clothes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's. And that's one of the reasons why I don't.

[Havoc]

Oh.

[Jasmine]

From then on it's been, no, I can't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. But that wasn't a fart though. That was a shark. Sharks are uncontrollable, loose booty.

[DJ Envy]

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

[Jasmine]

When you getting bottomed out?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I do kegels.

[Jasmine]

Okay. So it helps the elasticity.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know what that means.

[Jasmine]

Oh, you don't?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't think you're supposed to have an elastic booty, is it?

[Jasmine]

Yes. That's the whole Point. Your booty is like a rubber band. It's like, yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

Why are we going there? Why? Why?

[Jasmine]

And when it gets stressed out too much, it's hemorrhoid time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think your booty should be more like a tire. Oh, no.

[Jasmine]

What?

[DJ Envy]

What the hell are we talking about?

[Jasmine]

Hard and durable.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Jasmine]

Oh, my God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Should not be able to penetrate your tire. Oh, my God.

[Jasmine]

Yo.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, thank you.

[Jasmine]

Keep it going.

[DJ Envy]

All right, now, when we come back, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. All right, now, Cam. Cam Newton was talking on this podcast, and he was talking about body count. It's hard to go from booty to this. I know, but this is what he had said.

[Havoc]

I wanted to know her list of who she.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wanna know. I needed to know.

[Caller/Rick]

I have.

[Jasmine]

Oh, my God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because before I sit up here and really keep moving and elevating our relationship, I wanna know who got one up on me and if I'm willing to take on that burden. Because if you had any type of relationship intimacy experiences with people that I really know, I need to know that I'm old.

[Havoc]

That.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because if you don't give me that, you got me. Hey, y', all, this my girl.

[DJ Envy]

All right, so the question is, I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wonder why he thinks somebody got one up on him right when they came before him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right?

[Jasmine]

Exactly.

[DJ Envy]

Pause. But we'll talk about it when we come back. 800-585-1051. Do you want want to know your partners, your significant other's body count and names, like who they were with when they were with that person?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is a tale as old as time. I feel like we ask this question every couple of years, but y ain't.

[Jasmine]

Never have my fake on it.

[DJ Envy]

That's right. We going to talk about it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Call in right now. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic. Break it down.

[DJ Envy]

800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's topic time.

[Havoc]

Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

With the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we were talking about Cam no Newton. He was on his podcast talking about body counts, and this is what he said.

[Havoc]

I wanted to know her list of who she.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wanna know her name's address. I needed to know.

[DJ Envy]

I have to.

[Jasmine]

Oh, my God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because before I sit up here and really keep moving and elevating our relationship. I wanna know who got one up on me and if I'm willing to take on that burden. Because if you had any type of relationship intimacy experiences with people that I really know, I need to know that I'm old.

[Caller/Rick]

That.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because if you don't give me that, you got me. Hey, y', all, this my girl. And you got somebody over there in that corner like, that don't know. If she had been with somebody that was close to me, I would have had to. Respectfully, I'm not there yet. I can't carry that weight yet.

[DJ Envy]

So we're asking 800-585-1051. Do you want to know your partner's body count and who they slept with? Not just the number, but, but names, Jess.

[Jasmine]

Yo, now listen, hear me out on this. I, I'm not opposed to what Cam said, right? I do understand on both. Now, me, I don't really care, but it depends on who you date. Now, Cam Newton is a celebrity. Jasmine, you know that she is, too. You know what I mean? You know, celebrity or whatever she is. So Cam don't want to be around somebody that she had slept with or was, you know? You know? And he don't know. I don't know about the one up, but I just don't. I prefer to not have him if I was in her shoes as well. I prefer not to have him around these niggas that I'm. That may have smashed me or I was smashing them. And he don't know, so I understand that the body count. All right, cool. He did also say that he can't judge her for something that she did before him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Correct.

[Jasmine]

But he just wants to be in the know. I do agree with that. Me, my little list crazy. And nobody ever asked for it, right? So that's fine, but I'm not sharing it.

[DJ Envy]

No, but I, I, I, I see what you're saying. If you're in the same industry, right, and you're going to be around people, yeah, you would want to get. You would want somebody to know for sure, Chris.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, I want to know, since you, since your list so crazy, why you look so crazy? Jess, you're on the radio telling people you look so crazy, why the list so crazy?

[Jasmine]

Because back in the day, if I'm.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Chris, I'm putting the hammer down.

[DJ Envy]

She's evolved.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm putting the lawn care equipment up, and me and you gonna sit down, we gonna have a whole conversation about this crazy list of y'. All.

[Jasmine]

No, his list was crazy, too, and I rather not know about it. I don't. I don't want to know about his list at all.

[DJ Envy]

At all.

[Jasmine]

No, he went crazy. I already know he did. And he lived out the country so that overseas, you know what I'm saying? Like, all that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I bet you Chris and ICE agents got the same list. I bet you it reads the same. Wow.

[DJ Envy]

What the hell?

[Jasmine]

This is why I can't talk to him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I agree with both of y'.

[Caller/Rick]

All.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I feel like Cam Cam just want to know who she slept with in the business.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's all.

[Jasmine]

You know?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, I want to know all the famous people you smash because.

[Jasmine]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, some of these bodies don't matter, especially if you've been with a woman for a long time. Like, do you really care about the college and high school stuff? You care about that 10th grade tender. No, you care about that senior slum.

[DJ Envy]

You care about somebody if you got to interview somebody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, he would want to know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. You just want to know the fact. Yeah. If you're in the business with a person or in the industry with a person. Person. You want to know the famous people that person slept with for sure.

[Jasmine]

Now, Chris did ask me that. He did ask me that. He did not ask me for my body count on my list. But he. No, he did not ask me how many truckers I slept with. Envy. He asked me, y' all some idiots know. He asked me about celebrity. Just go to the phone lines.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He most made me spit out my tea. Man, talk about the truckers. Crazy. If Chris wanted to listen to truckers like you, just a little lot lizard out here.

[DJ Envy]

And I'm not. You a clown at me.

[Jasmine]

That's him trying to get me back because I call him Remedio.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, my God.

[DJ Envy]

Hello, this.

[Caller/Rick]

Hey, peace. Peace. This is Greg from Jersey. How y' all doing?

[DJ Envy]

Greg from Jersey. What's up, man?

[Jasmine]

Good morning.

[Caller/Rick]

Hey, good morning. Good morning, Jess.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning.

[Caller/Rick]

Good morning, Charlotte. Man on the topic, right? I just broke up with somebody because of this situation, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What happened? Tell us.

[Caller/Rick]

So me and Shorty was dating for a while. My man gave me the drop. He like, yo, I hit it a minute ago.

[DJ Envy]

Damn.

[Caller/Rick]

But when I came to her. When I came to her, you know, we all chill together, too. So it's like a cold situation.

[Jasmine]

Oh, wow.

[Caller/Rick]

I bought it. So I said. I said, listen, Shorty, like, you. All you got to do is keep it real with me. Like, I just want to know. She ain't. She got belligerent act crazy. She broke up the crib. Like, wow. Wow. Bro, cops called all types of damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you like her?

[Caller/Rick]

I used to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

See, here's my thing. If you, like, hit me with that right hook. But if you like her, what does it matter if your man hit back before you?

[Caller/Rick]

It's the honesty for me. Like, if you gonna lie about something in the past, you gonna lie about the truth.

[Jasmine]

They all chill. I respect your man for coming to tell you about that. You know what I mean? But, yeah, now, were y' all serious? Like, that was your girl. This was just somebody you talking to. Cause she don't owe you that. If there's somebody that you was just tough.

[Caller/Rick]

We locked in.

[DJ Envy]

We locked in.

[Caller/Rick]

Just the kids. The kids integrated. We was like, damn.

[Jasmine]

Yeah, she definitely owed you that, you know? But to get upset about it. That and the way she got upset about it, you had to ask her. You had to come at her crazy. It could have been how you came at her. I'm telling you.

[Caller/Rick]

I mean, I ain't going say I the best. I'm cool and collected about it. Like, I was upset that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, when she lied about it, I.

[Caller/Rick]

Pressed it even more.

[Jasmine]

Yeah, but that's the thing she made. You didn't even provide that safe space for her, to be honest with you. You feel me? You probably came at it like, you know, I can't even say what I think you said on the radio, but I know you came at her kind of crazy, and that's why you got that right hook.

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely. Hello? Hello? Who's this?

[Caller/Rick]

Envy. What's up, Envy?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, y'.

[DJ Envy]

All.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey.

[Caller/Rick]

So I was calling about your little discussion, and I'm going to say that I don't even know your body count, but I need to know. Know if you mess with certain people that I know, because that's the you don't mess with, you know, Taran and I saw Taran last month with a bunch of bumps around his mouth.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who the hell is that?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right?

[Jasmine]

Just like an anonymous guy.

[Caller/Rick]

An anonymous game, right? Let's say Sarah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Fine.

[Caller/Rick]

And then you'd be like, yeah, I messed with him. And then it's like, oh, I. I know. I saw Terrain with some bucks around his mouth last month.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now I can't talk to you no more.

[Caller/Rick]

Damn.

[Jasmine]

I totally understand, Trav.

[DJ Envy]

Did anybody ever ask you if you.

[Caller/Rick]

Smell around my mouth, J.

[Jasmine]

Exactly. I know. I hear that.

[DJ Envy]

Trav. Has anybody ever asked if you smash Charlotte?

[Caller/Rick]

Yes. They ask me all the time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know they did.

[DJ Envy]

Do you lie? You tell Them the truth.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I know they did it.

[Caller/Rick]

Depends who it is. If it's my cousins, I like, I like to troll them sometimes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you be lying on your pee.

[Caller/Rick]

Pee, I be lying on your butt.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And that's why.

[Jasmine]

That's why don't believe that's my brother.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's my sister.

[Jasmine]

Cuz they call each other brothers and sisters. Sister. That's why you can't trust that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's disgusting.

[DJ Envy]

That is.

[Jasmine]

That's my brother, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But men be lying, that's why. Even the guy that called last time. How can you trust your homeboy? How you know your homeboy was telling the truth? How you know your homeboy ain't see you happy with this girl? And maybe that was a chick he was trying to get with but couldn't never get with, so he just decided to tell you he hit when he didn't.

[DJ Envy]

Hello? Who's this?

[Caller/Rick]

Hi, good morning. It's Zania.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, Zania, talk to us.

[Caller/Rick]

Hey. So you gotta think about where you are in life. I'm at of an age where it's like, what is the benefit technically of me knowing the exact body count?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's true.

[Caller/Rick]

If you think about it, you get to a point in your age and time, you're like, you know what? I'm where I am for a reason. And if I want to share my life with somebody, there's really not really any benefit to knowing an exact count. Because at that point, think about on it, you're gonna end up judging them. So then what type of relationship are you really gonna have?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I do think it depends on what type of relationship you got with that person, though, because, you know, like, you. You and a person might have the type of relationship. Well, y' all sit around and discuss your old horror stories, you know what I mean? It's just like soldiers sitting around discussing old war stories.

[Caller/Rick]

And that's cool, but, you know, you don't want to put yourself in a position. Now, let's say if you're an overthinker, I know me, I'm a Capricorn, big Capricorn. I overthink. And I don't want to sit there and judge my. My partner because let's say he's had 10, 15, whatever females, all right? But I love you now. That was you then I'm not gonna kick you because you was a spot back then. That don't mean nothing to me now, because you ain't doing that now. You know what I mean? Right? So to me, it's not really, really a Benefit, however, now, if it's somebody close, like my home girl, then it's like, all right, we can. We gotta work that out. We gotta talk about that. But as far as, like, a full number, we're too old for that. Nah, we ain't too. For that.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, thank you, mama. What's the moral of the story, guys?

[Jasmine]

I mean, it's to each his own.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I agree.

[Jasmine]

Some people don't mind giving up that list. Some people don't even ask for it. Some people do. Like. Like, they. Apparently Cam and Jazz, they, like, best friends. Like, she commented on it was like, yeah, he has my list. So it's now, like, it's fine. There's nothing that I have to hide. He don't have to find out nothing later that I didn't sell him. Like, and now he knows how to protect me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I also think it's context to everything. Like we said earlier, both of them are in the entertainment industry. Right? Cam just wants to know what other athletes, what other entertainers that he might.

[DJ Envy]

Interview that he might run into.

[Jasmine]

He has a podcast. Everybody come up there.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Chair.

[Jasmine]

To sit on his. His chair and talk to him. Like, it could. He could talk to one of her former bodies or whatever.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right? And. And I just think it's. I mean, also, if you really like a person, you know, don't matter what their body count is, man, unless y' all all in the same industry and it's three people in the industry, you can. Yeah, no, no, you. I'm letting y' all lay. That's another thing. Ladies need you to know that if you slept with more than three people in the same industry. Industry, you a hold of somebody.

[Jasmine]

Oh, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm telling you right now.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, when we come back, we got the latest with Lauren, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, The Breakfast Club.

[Jasmine]

Lauren becoming a straight fan.

[DJ Envy]

She gets him from 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 you. I say I'm the biggest.

[Caller/Rick]

The Lord.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Who is the latest on the Breakfast Club? Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So, Diddy, his team was asked at the sentencing, where does he want to be housed for? Well, if they have any, you know, preferences of where he wants to be housed for his four years, and his team has now answered that. So they submitted a letter to the judge yesterday that Asked the judge for Diddy to be put in a. A low level security prison, federal prison here in Jersey or in Jersey called Fort Dix. And the reason why y' all play too much.

[Jasmine]

Why would you have to say it like that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, Dicks.

[DJ Envy]

Of all places. Okay, go ahead.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is like on coming to America when they looked at the map and they said they want to go to America. And it was like, where can we find a good lady? And they pick Queen.

[Jasmine]

Queen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's like he just spun the globe and he looked, he was like, that's who I want to be. Dicks crazy. Send me there.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, yeah, he. He wants to go there because they have a really good drug.

[DJ Envy]

Jesus Christ.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They have a really good drug rehabilitation program. And then they're talking about just a bunch of different programs that they do as he kind of tries to get himself back together to be eventually released. And it'll make it easier for his family and stuff like that to be able to visit him and things like that. So just a quick update there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wonder how he feels, man.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like, because what.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because some of this, you got to. He got to look at that and be like.

[DJ Envy]

I'm sure he depress.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know the joke. I know 50 Cent going to kill me with this, but I got to.

[DJ Envy]

Go to Fort Dick.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I got to go to Fort Diggs.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's closer to home.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can you imagine building a forted for real?

[Jasmine]

What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know how many male prostitutes you have to have to create a forte?

[Lauren LaRosa]

And that's why we're moving on. Like, seriously, that's why we're moving on.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, what else we got?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you build affordable pillows. I need 20 male prostitutes, cuz I want to be able to. For the around me.

[DJ Envy]

This guy's too much.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Continuing. We're moving on.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, so in other news, Gucci man, you know, he has his book that he wrote and he's talking about different parts of his life and advertising the books. And he posted a video talking about a time where he had to be kidnapped by his own wife and his bodyguards because he was having a mental. A mental crisis. Let's take a listen.

[DJ Envy]

I got a new book coming out called Episodes.

[Havoc]

So anybody who got family members or.

[DJ Envy]

They self is dealing with mental health issues.

[Havoc]

You need to get this book.

[DJ Envy]

This talks about my struggles through my.

[Havoc]

Adult life with mental health.

[DJ Envy]

It's talking about a whole bunch of.

[Havoc]

Different episodes in my life. It talks about the time I was.

[DJ Envy]

High as hell and got the ice cream cone tattoo.

[Havoc]

It talks about the time when I was Going through an episode and my wife kidnapped me with my six bodyguards.

[DJ Envy]

From the Porsche and had to take.

[Havoc]

Me to a mental hospital. Other talks about the time me and.

[DJ Envy]

Scooter seen each other in the airport.

[Havoc]

And we got into it when I.

[DJ Envy]

Was going through an episode. Talks about my childhood. It talks about me and OJ Growing up trapping. It even talks about me and my.

[Havoc]

Mom and our strain relationship from when.

[DJ Envy]

She tried to get the thing like Britney Spears got on her.

[Havoc]

My mom tried to do that to me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, man, I'm looking forward to this book. If I knew that Gucci was coming out with this book, I would have definitely had him at my mental health expo this weekend because I love when people share their stories because the only, only, you know, way to erase the stigma around mental health is for people to share their story. So I'm glad that Gucci is coming out with this book called Episode.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. And I think at least in, you know, the stories that he's telling, because people make mental health seem like an isolated thing. It affects your family too, like people who love you. So I think, you know, having that conversation and talking through what that looked like for his family too, will help people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So that's one of the panels we have at the mental health Expo. One of the panels we have at the Mental Health Expo is people who have to deal with people who have. Have mental health issues because nobody ever talks about the stress and the pressure that they be on.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Which is a lot. And in other news, in other 1017 news, push. I see Push. I see rapper Push. I see from Memphis. Gucci, man's artist was released yesterday. Now this release is. It's a few months early, but he was slated to be released in April of 2026, but he was released yesterday. And I saw videos posted already, so, you know, I tried to reach out to see like, if he went right to the studio or like what those first hours, first day is going to look like home for him. But didn't get anything there. So, you know, wishing him the best and to stay here.

[Jasmine]

Absolutely.

[DJ Envy]

I know everybody wants their rappers to go to the studio right away, but they got family. Like, they want to see their family. I mean, they were.

[Lauren LaRosa]
