[Charlamagne Tha God]

Robin Moore, good morning.

[Angela Yee]

What's up, Jess?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm walking here like you extra on power.

[Angela Yee]

Let's get some front page news. What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, Envy. Jess, I know you're just getting there. Charlemagne. How y' all doing this? Mimi, good morning. All right, so we start this morning in Pennsylvania, where President Trump traveled to the Pocono Mountains to make the case that he's already delivering lower case, lower prices and bigger paychecks. Even as many voters, though, say they are still filling the squeeze. Now, speaking to about a thousand supporters at the Mount Airy Casino Resort, Trump pointed to the stock market and 401ks as evidence that the economy is gaining strength. But his biggest challenge last night was the same one he always faces nationally, which is convincing people that their everyday costs are actually going down. At one minute, at one moment, he downplayed the idea of affordability altogether. And moments later, he said making America affordable again was his greatest priority. Let's listen to some of his speech.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Gave you high prices. They gave you the highest inflation in history.

[Angela Yee]

And we're giving you, we're bringing those prices down rapidly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lower prices, bigger paychecks, you're getting lower prices, bigger paychecks. We're getting inflation, we're crushing it. And you're getting much higher wages. I mean, the only thing that you.

[Angela Yee]

It's really going up big. It's called the stock market and your 401ks.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But they have a new word.

[Angela Yee]

You know, they always have a hoax. The new word is affordability.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So they look at the camera and.

[Angela Yee]

They say, this election is all about affordability. But under Biden, real wages plummeted by $3,000 a year. Under Trump, the typical factory worker has.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Already seen their wages increase by more than $1300. They always stand in front of people who don't have no stocks and point to the stock market. Okay? You can't lie to people about what they are feeling in their pockets. Like go stand in front of some working class people and try to convince Them the economy is good. I bet that crowd reaction will be a lot different.

[Mimi Brown]

And you're right, the numbers, they tell a very different story than what Trump is saying. Most major polls show that voters still feel financially stretched. And there's also government data that backs that up. The overall cost of living is still rising. Energy prices are up over the past year. Inflation, which had been easing, has crept back up following the tariffs that Trump put in place. And on top of that, employers have announced more than a million job cuts this year. That's the highest level since the pandemic, adding to the sense of unease that many families are already feeling. And the polling that there's polling that makes that disconnect even clearer. There's a recent Gallup poll that says that 68% of Americans, they say the economic condition are getting worse, while only 27% of people believe things are improving. Now, that gap between what Trump is saying and what people are feeling is becoming one of the defining challenges of the upcoming election year, especially with affordability consistently ranking as voters top concern. Now, during that rally yesterday, Trump, he also veered off on his economic message several, several times and turning his attacks on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, Somali immigrants and a range of other unrelated issues and comments that drew reactions from the crowd and also at times shifted the tone of the rally. So we will continue to see what else comes from that meeting. And as affordability dominates the national conversation, there were two local races in Florida or two local races, one in Florida and one in Georgia, that are showing just how voters are feeling and responding to it at the ballot box. So in Miami, a Democrat, she just ended a 30 year Republican streak to become, become the first woman mayor ever elected in the city of Miami. Eileen Higgins, she campaigned directly on affordability and immigration concerns, defeating a Republican endorsed by President Trump. And in Georgia, Democrats, they flipped a House seat in a district that Trump carried by double digits. Eric Glessner, he adds the growing number of special election wins by Democrats that they have picked up this year. So clearly, affordability, immigration, very, very key issues for people in different states and different cities right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, but you know, it's one thing to campaign on affordability, it's another to get in office and actually, you know, govern and make things more affordable. So that's the, that's the important thing, like after you campaign on affordability and, you know, you win whatever election you know, you were running for, once you get in office, you have to have to fight to make things more affordable for people.

[Mimi Brown]

Absolutely, definitely. And so we will see what happens with those two candidates. A couple of special elections happening there and coming at 7, a holiday staple is getting more expensive this year. It's reviving an age old debate. We'll tell you what it's what's driving the price hike and what it means for your bottom dollar.

[Angela Yee]

All right, thank you, Mimi. Now everybody else, get it off.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Morning, Jessica. Robin Moore.

How are you?

What you mean? Don't wave me off because you looking.

[DJ Envy]

Over here like you about to pick on me. I don't hate time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

I'm tired.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How are you? How are you? Did you have a good night?

[DJ Envy]

I was up all night in the hair salon getting my hair done.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But damn, I could tell she was up so tight and fresh.

[Angela Yee]

I woke up with a text from Jess. I was like, she must have been up all night cause she usually don't text that late. Yes, about 9 o', clock. She usually go to sleep. I seen her tell. I said, well, okay.

[DJ Envy]

Not tight and fresh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, please look at over here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club.

[Angela Yee]

Hello? Who's this?

[DJ Envy]

Irritated Uber driver.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, irritated Uber driver, how are you?

[DJ Envy]

Blessed and highly medicated.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There you go.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, I'm irritated. I drive in the city of Detroit and in my car, I got a picture of Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, as I should. I got a picture of Kamala Harris when I met her in Detroit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I had the Trump supporter in my car.

[DJ Envy]

Tell me yesterday, if he knew it.

A ninja was picking him up, he would have canceled the ride. I said, stand with your chest. I said. I said, go ahead and say it. So he said it, and I dropped his ass off on the east side of Detroit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'll figure it out. Why did he think he could beat a ninja? Did you have your mask on, your sword and everything else?

[Angela Yee]

Shut up, man. You're stupid. You know what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all funny.

[Angela Yee]

But.

[DJ Envy]

These Trump supporters, y' all do not run this, y'. All. I'm tired of y' all talking about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What Donald Trump has done for this.

[Ryan Serhant]

Country, he's segregated us.

[DJ Envy]

He wants to try to put us in our place. And then I'm tired of him talking about construction workers, that we make too much money.

[Angela Yee]

I told a Trump supporter, get out there and do the jobs that a construction worker does.

[DJ Envy]

Put some respect on our pay, and leave our affordable wages alone.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I agree with you. How many stars did he give you?

[Angela Yee]

He's a short zero.

[DJ Envy]

Listen, he gave me one star, reported me, telling me that I have incentives pictures up in my car. Uber called me yesterday and said, ma'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Am, what's going on?

[Tricia Lee]

We got a complaint.

[DJ Envy]

I said, okay. And I said, I got a picture of my president, Barack Obama, and his wife. They said, maybe I should take it down. I said, maybe you should kiss my ass.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right. I wonder what the policy for that is, though.

[Angela Yee]

That's weird because he's the president, though. He's a public figure.

[DJ Envy]

They tell us to be neutral and stuff like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. I said, there's no neutral about it.

[DJ Envy]

When you get in my car and talking ignorance. Yeah. You call me. You're paying me, and then you gonna.

[Angela Yee]

Call me out my name.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, Jess. You heard that? Yeah. You gonna call me out my name.

[Angela Yee]

Put some respect on my melanin, first of all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I'm mad. I'm mad at you that you didn't. I'm mad at you that you didn't call him a cracker back. But also, if you know what I called him, I called him an ignorant, baloney smelling damn jump. Nah, that ain't hit up. Oh, I caught him.

[DJ Envy]

Everything else too, but I can't say it on the radio. But if you want me to, I will.

[Mimi Brown]

But I'm.

[DJ Envy]

These Trump supporters. Y' all need to stay in your lane.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You should have called me because you should have called him. You should have called him a milk cricket. But also to look at the flip side, right, if you would have gotten to a car and the person had a bunch of maga paraphernalia, how would you have felt?

[DJ Envy]

I wouldn't have got in that car. I would have canceled that ride.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So it's kind of the same thing.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, yeah, but he should have canceled it.

[DJ Envy]

He should have canceled it if he.

[Angela Yee]

Seen a beautiful black woman with people.

Hello?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn. Cash Patel cut the call off.

Wow.

[Angela Yee]

I was gonna tell her maybe she should download the. The lift app, you know, just in case.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Angela Yee]

Lets her go. So she'd have some other income coming in.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was the CIA, but also too, man, if you want to get where you're going. Just mind your goddamn business. You can't hold your political opinion for two seconds, you know what I'm saying? You get in the car, you see Barack Obama picture. Michelle Obama picture. Shut the hell up. You getting somebody call. You see Maggie Paraffiniti. Shut the hell up. All like she said. Cancel the ride.

[DJ Envy]

I was gonna say, just get out. Like I pull off. And then you tell me that you.

[Angela Yee]

If you knew that I was gonna.

[DJ Envy]

Be black, you would have canceled. You can always get out now.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, get out right now.

[DJ Envy]

That's why if she did what she said and dropped his ass off in the hood, good turn.

[Angela Yee]

But I'm like Charlotte. If I gotta get to the airport, I ain't got time to mess with y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

[Angela Yee]

Just get me there. I don't care. I don't care what you got in there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because the reality is, you don't know what's in a person's head. Her heart. You know what I'm saying? Or drunk.

[DJ Envy]

Good morning, y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

[Angela Yee]

Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

All right, so in getting started this hour, I wanted to congratulate Asia Wilson. She covered Time magazine as their athlete of the year.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on, now.

[DJ Envy]

This has been such a great year for her. I know. We Talked about her during all of the achievements, but I just wanted to remind people what her year looked like. She just was there. She just was Tom's woman of the Year Woman of the Year back in February. And then she won her championship against the Mercury, MVP of the season in the finals. So to top off the year with athlete of the year.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Congratulations, bombs for Asia Wilson, South Carolina's own Metro 803. What's happening?

[DJ Envy]

Y' all remember that press conference, the post game conference where she was like turned up after the game and she was enjoying gay. But I hope she enjoys her New Year's Eve just like that because she worked hard this year. Now, switching gears a bit, the Breakfast Club keeps coming up again in a lot of the things and a lot of the mess. Okay.

This is old Breakfast Club, but, you know, we're, we're in the mix. Okay, so Marlon Wayans has had to come online and basically clear up that he is not defending Diddy. Yesterday, I don't know if you guys saw it, but there was a whole conversation about we're not going to watch Scary Movie 6 and we're not this and we're not that. Because Marlon Wayans was asked the question when he went to the cruise show about Diddy in the documentary, right? So late last night, I woke up this morning and I saw a video that he posted. Let's take a listen to Marlowans.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

50 and Puff have a long term beef. It's personal.

It's between him and Puff.

And before between him and Puff, it's.

Between both of them and God, just the way Puff is down on his luck.

[DJ Envy]

Let's play Marlon responds to backlash number two.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm gonna make it abundantly clear I'm not here defending Diddy. I am here because I got dragged into this because somebody asked me a question and I had an opinion. Nobody's wrong for giving an opinion about any subject, period. I'm not here defending Diddy. Don't let the narrative fool you or get to you. Once again, somebody's creating narratives.

This is my point. So please look at the whole clip.

That I did and then look what.

[Angela Yee]

Happens with the narrative.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And that's what I'm telling you, y' all people, don't be sheep. Use your brain. Freedom of thought, freedom of speech.

[Angela Yee]

And don't ever let nobody bully you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Never don't let nobody bully you.

You got me, love? I'm back to trolling this troll.

The narrative is you gotta let people go through whatever it is that they're going through. You know what I'm saying? Marlon said that people are kicking Diddy while they down. So that makes people think about Diddy kicking Cassie while she was down. They're like, you know what? Stay out of that one.

[DJ Envy]

Exactly. He posted that video four hours ago. I was like, dang, they must have been on him too, because it's like, if he's in la, it's like one o' clock in the morning.

[Angela Yee]

But you said it was trending.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, it was, but, you know, he's. He normally is. Like, he gonna move on about some things. Like, he ain't really tripping, have a.

[Angela Yee]

Lot of fun with it and play.

[DJ Envy]

That's what he's been doing.

[Angela Yee]

Now, when it comes to the money, when it's trending, don't watch What? Scary Movie 6. Now, when it comes to the money, let me fix this right now.

[DJ Envy]

I get you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Plus you got somebod stirring the pot. 50 Cent stirring the pot, keeping it going.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, both of them are. So 50 Cent and Marlon Wayans have been going back and forth ever since yesterday when we left work online. And he said in his video he's going to get back to the trolling. Now, one of the things that Marlon posted, he posted a video of 50 Cent up here at the Breakfast Club talking about what kicked off a lot of 50 cents issue with Diddy. Diddy wanting to take Marlin. I mean, did he want to take 50 cent shopping? Let's take a listen to the 50 cent when he was here some years ago now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Fifth, when you continuously call Puff gay, does that affect your relationships in Hollywood? I don't go, no, I don't call.

I don't call him gay.

I said, let me read this. Let me read it. Sorry, I can no longer help you guys. Soon you will all be gay and happy. You are all now left under leadership of Puffy Daddy. Report to the nearest rainbow, then it thieves.

Listen, listen. I'm only saying that because the Drake champs. Yeah, yeah. He said something fabulous and he goes, yo, no, but me and you, we ain't party like we need to party. What is he talking about?

When people say that to me, I get a little uncomfortable. I get uncomfortable. Like he said. He said something to me one time a long time ago at Chris Lighty's wedding. He told me he'd take me shopping. I looked at him like, what the. What the. What'd you just say? Let me move, man, before I do something. You gonna make me mess up the wedding.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. So Marlon wayans posted that 50 Cent has posted Marlon Wayans when, you know, he took the picture with the flag.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But why didn't Marlon post that? Like, what's the.

[DJ Envy]

Did he. Yeah, they've been going back and forth all night. But he's basically saying, 50 Cent, you need to explain this. Like, oh, I get it now. You need to explain this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, Puffy need to explain that. Which he did on Breakfast Club. He did ask to take 50 shopping.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but you know, Marlo Waynes is basically trying to make it seem like you was with all the shopping things. His caption.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What was the caption?

[DJ Envy]

His caption says, some people just be lying. Come on, Curtis, stop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

50 wasn't lying about that, though. Puff said. He said I wanted to take him shopping. He said that here on Breakfast?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And then, you know, some things be. AI, now, I. I did see some things. No, some things do be.

[Angela Yee]

Because I saw.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know if it was real. That's why I think I sent it to in a dm. But it wasn't. It was. Somebody else had supposedly posted.

[Angela Yee]

Didn't marlon post 50 in like the.

[DJ Envy]

Hot tub with Diddy or something?

[Angela Yee]

But is that AI?

[DJ Envy]

I don't know if this is real or not, but he did post a photo of 50 Cent and Diddy in a hot tub. Diddy has a cigar in his hand and he says, just for the record, bro, let's correct the narrative. Curtis, rub a dub. And then he says, stop. Now 50 Cent has also been going in. He posted that photo that I was telling you guys about of Marlin with the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The.

[DJ Envy]

The flag. The. You know, when he came out talking.

[Angela Yee]

About waking up on the floor.

[DJ Envy]

I'm saying that he never went to.

[Angela Yee]

A Diddy party, but did a picture of him with Diddy at a party. Like, they.

[DJ Envy]

Going back and forth. They've been going. They've been definitely going with diddy going. But 50 Cent, he spoke to Us Weekly and he told Us Weekly that the way. Because people are using like the trolling back and forth that he does online, which we all know 50 uses to be able to say, okay, this is why we can't believe 50 Cent because we know that he has some animosity towards Diddy. But he told Us Weekly exclusive that they published yesterday that he went about this documentary completely different than how he trolls online. He even revealed in the exclusive that he spoke to Cassie and her husband and that she is. Would be pleased with the documentary. But he also says that he had a conversation with Diddy and his son and that originally Diddy Was supposed to be a part of this documentary, and that didn't happen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Also, I don't understand when people say things like, you can't believe 50 Cent when it comes to this documentary. I was born in 1978. Most of these stories, probably all 95% of these stories we've heard about Diddy before, we just never saw them packaged together, you know, in a documentary.

[Angela Yee]

But not only that, 50 didn't speak on a documentary. He didn't say one word in that documentary. He wasn't even on the documentary.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I worked with Wendy Williams. I've heard all of these stories a million times. Like, this is new to this generation, maybe.

[Angela Yee]

And Lauren knows that. They reached out to both sides of everybody on this documentary, not just the side that was against it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Diddy.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Reached out the side the people that was for.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did he just.

[Angela Yee]

Some people didn't want to speak.

[DJ Envy]

Exactly.

[Angela Yee]

Some people wanted to speak, but they.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They.

[Angela Yee]

A lot of these stories. Yeah, we've heard of these stories.

[DJ Envy]

What did he say? Other sons responded back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, what did he say? He talked to Diddy and his son? He didn't say. He just says. He says he. He hasn't spoken to Diddy since he went through his case. I had communication with them and his son or with his son. There was a point when they were interested in being a part of the doc because they wanted to show their perspective. They were concerned about how things would be portrayed is all he said. So I am trying to figure out what that conversation was. And when it happened, didn't they participate? You know, they're really upset about it. So why not?

[Angela Yee]

Did. He couldn't speak like he was going through a court case, so he could not speak on the documentary.

[DJ Envy]

He could say, but some of after.

[Angela Yee]

But he couldn't speak during that court case.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The sons had opportunity to talk. They should have talked. Because if you got men on during the court case. No, I'm talking about in the documentary.

[Angela Yee]

After.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. You got men on the documentary saying puffy touched their butt, man. You should be on there defending your dad's honor. Okay. Little Rob said his butt got touched. He woke up.

[DJ Envy]

So he tried to leave that out.

[Angela Yee]

He was trying to leave it for us to figure it out. He didn't know what happened. He said he was sore and then he was laying next to him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Well, Ray J says. Ray J put his. Ray J says he doesn't understand how men let that happen after he watched the documentary. Let's take a listen.

[Angela Yee]

As a journalist, you Heard me say what I said, and that's kind of what cranked this whole thing up. And then fast forward to the documentary.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Saying that they was getting that taken, bro.

[Angela Yee]

Multiple times.

[DJ Envy]

Kept partying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Owe you some money, yo.

What the is going on in this world, bro?

Said, I woke up with the females in the bed.

Then I woke up and Diddy was in the bed. What was Diddy doing in the bed, bro?

My coming out. Way more money on the rear end area.

I know what happened.

[Angela Yee]

I've been taken. I've been taken. And now I'm still here partying, acting like nothing ever happened.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I agree with RA. If Little Rod had gotten paid, would he be talking about puppy touching his butt? If Kirk Burrows would have gotten this 25, would he be talking about Puffy touching his butt?

[Angela Yee]

Correct.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Allegedly.

[Angela Yee]

Allegedly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know.

[Angela Yee]

But also what Ray J said is if somebody touched my butt and I didn't like it, would I come back, right? And keep partying?

[DJ Envy]

I mean, not if you're being.

[Angela Yee]

Now, look, I'm not somebody.

[DJ Envy]

But if somebody promised you you're gonna.

[Angela Yee]

Be super producer, but you touch my bike. I mean, and I didn't like it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, here's the thing. Here's the thing with grown men. If you tell me that you got, you know, assaulted, penetrated, sexually assaulted, the next thing you should be telling me is that you caught an assault and battery with intended kill case. Okay?

[Angela Yee]

But even if you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So, you know, but even if you.

[Angela Yee]

Soft and you not that type of individual, you not gonna come back.

[DJ Envy]

Charlamagne be trying to hug you from the back, and you show up to work the next day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I ain't never try to hug that man from the back. You tell no lie like this.

[DJ Envy]

You get up and walk behind his chair and hear, you wanna do your.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Own reckoning so bad. That ain't never happened. You saw him do that to me. Me, I def.

[Angela Yee]

I did not do that. No.

[DJ Envy]

Envy will come in here and try.

[Angela Yee]

To hug Shaw from the bag.

[DJ Envy]

I've seen you get up and walk over behind his chair. Especially when you got the tim really rough.

[Angela Yee]

He can't hug me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We.

[Angela Yee]

We've known each other for a long time.

[DJ Envy]

That's our anniversary a couple days ago. You know, that's what we used to say. That's my brother.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then came up in New York in the 90s, though. That's why I be ly.

[Angela Yee]

See, now you're getting up New York, 1990s behavior.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is Era. This Era he came up with. You see this right and when I.

Produce.

Come out as gay.

[Angela Yee]

Journalist though.

[DJ Envy]

That'S what he always has been saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

50 to bring back one of his classic lines. Man, I heard Puffy touched your butt. We need the T shirts. 5th if I heard Puffy touched your.

[Angela Yee]

Butt, remember what 50 said? No. He said on the song, you used.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To say that all the time. I heard Puffy touched your butt. Did he did it?

Oh, man.

Why? Ain't nobody more consistent than Curtis Jackson, you hear me?

[DJ Envy]

That's true.

[Angela Yee]

He's like this all the time. Not just in on public private.

[DJ Envy]

Him and Marlon are going to be gone for like all of 2020.

[Angela Yee]

Crazy.

[DJ Envy]

Cuz mar don't stop. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right.

[Angela Yee]

That's the latest with Lauren. When we come back, we got front page news and then we have the cast of Owning New York. All right, season two is out right now. It's Owning Manhattan. Season two is out now. Ryan Sirhan will be joining us. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, Envy. Just shaman. How y' all doing this morning?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, Mimi.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning. So we start this hour in Kentucky where a shooting on the campus of Kentucky State University historically black institution has left one student dead and another fighting serious injuries. Now officials say the violence unfolded yesterday near Whitney Young Jr. Hall. That's a dorm on the south side of the campus, right in the middle of finals week. Now according to university leaders, the injured student is now in critical but stable condition and early information shows the shooter was not connected to the school. The suspect, 48 year old Jacob Lee Bard of Evansville, Indiana is in custody and charged with murder and first degree assault. Let's listen to some of the press conference from local authorities.

[Angela Yee]

Within minutes, by 3:14pm, Frankfurt police officers arrived on scene. By that time, Kentucky State University campus police had already taken swift action action bringing a suspect into custody. Three individuals were involved in the incident. Individual who is not a Kentucky State University student is in custody.

[Ryan Serhant]

Frankfurt police be believe this to be.

[Angela Yee]

An isolated incident and there are no active safety concerns on campus at this time.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, police, yeah, police say the campus was on lockdown and the area was secured. But for many students, the fear didn't end there. They told reporters their sense of safety has been shattered. Let's listen to what they have to say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We got finals this week.

[Angela Yee]

We just chilling regular college week.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We ain't Thinking nothing gonna go on.

Feel me? And then, boom.

[Angela Yee]

It just happened.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I heard them let two off, and after that, it just was crazy.

And it took about, what, 30 minutes.

[Angela Yee]

For the cops to get here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So it really was crazy then. Just the type of stuff we try.

[Angela Yee]

To get away from and come to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

College and have to it be right at our doorstep. It's just like, crazy. And we pay too much money for.

[Angela Yee]

This kind of stuff to be taking place at this school.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I feel the same way. Basically high school. I thought we were safe here. Ready to get up out of here.

Now that I heard that I ain't going.

It kind of defeats the whole purpose, even coming to college this year.

That's why I don't be liking the people. That's exactly why I don't like peopling. You know what I'm saying? People. People in. Yes. No people in this. When you got to be around people. Oh, okay. Because you just never know what folks be on, man. Everybody is a potential shooter. When I used to work with Wendy Williams, she used to always talk about the shooter, the shooter, the shooter might be around. I mean, she had reason to believe that, but still, never. You in a crowded place, boy, you just never know.

[Angela Yee]

But them kids are right. Like, you go to college to get away from a lot of the BS to learn to further your education, and that's a place that you figure would be safe, right? A bunch of students in a place that just want to learn. And then you got somebody that doesn't go to this school.

That kills a young man, and then.

[DJ Envy]

Look how discouraged they sound. You know, it's like, dang, I don't.

[Angela Yee]

Even want to, you know, be here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, say it.

[Mimi Brown]

And that's such a good point, Jess, because one of the young men that was interviewed was like, he doesn't even want to come back after the semester is over because this happened. In a statement, the university's president. They called the shooting a senseless tragedy that has left the entire campus grieving. Now officials are urging anyone who needs counseling to reach out. There will be support and services available for students, staff, and faculty. And the school has canceled classes, final exams, and all campus activities for the rest of the week. And students are being told that they can return home if they choose, and more guidance will be shared in the coming days.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, psychologically, that has to mess you up, because if you come from a certain environment, you like, you know how to move, right? Like, you kind of know who's who. You know what to avoid, how you do that on campus. Yeah, for sure.

[Mimi Brown]

And switching gears now to a story that's getting a lot of attention on social media. Jess, this is something you brought to my attention. Posts are circulating claiming Meta will start reading all of your private messages on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. One viral post with more than 238,000 likes says that Meta will start reading your DMs on December 16. Every conversation, every photo, every voice message fed to AI used for profit. Now, Meta says that is not true. And here is what is actually happening now. Meta is rolling out a policy update on September. Excuse me, December 16th. But does not give the company access to your private messages. Those private conversations with friends and families that remains end to end encrypted, which means Meta cannot read them. But what the update actually does is it allows Meta to use the messages that you send directly to its Meta AI chatbox to personalize content and ads. So if you ask AI about hiking, for example, you might start seeing more hiking apps, trail posts, or ads for hiking boots, something like that. Meta said that is no different from how Instagram already reacts when you watch a reel. That activity will shape what you see next. And to clear things up, Snopes, which is an independent fact based publication known for verifying viral claims and misinformation, they reached out to Meta for a clarification and they sent back a statement that says, we do not use the content of your private message with friends or family to train our AI, unless you or someone in the chat chooses to share those messages with our AI. This also isn't new, nor is it part of our December 16th privacy policy update.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, cool.

[Angela Yee]

Cuz I was ready to say done. I am done.

[DJ Envy]

Man. What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But it's crazy to me that y' all don't. Y' all don't assume that they already looking at all your stuff now. Absolutely. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

But when you hear that it's gonna be like sold or put out there, you never know who won't get it. And then be like, just said or just damn, that's what you were saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But once again, it's crazy that y' all assume that they wouldn't do that, that anyway. Like, I. You know what the craziest thing to me was? When everybody gets on these apps like Signal and everything else, and they be like, we can send secret messages. You really think somebody gonna create a whole app for you to send secret messages and they're not gonna look at it like they're looking at all these.

[Angela Yee]

Apps accessible WhatsApp, text all that they looking at all that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You just assume whatever you texting, whatever site you on and you sending stuff DM that somebody can see.

Correct.

If you move like that, I promise you, you'll avoid a lot of problems in the future.

[Mimi Brown]

All right, well, now to a very different kind of holiday delivery. So, correctional officers at a South Carolina prison say a drone flew over the prison yard and dropped a package that looked less like contraband and more like someone was prepping for a full holiday feast. So inside that package was crab legs, raw steak, Old Bay seasoning, cigarettes, and two large bags of marijuana.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This was a Baltimore president. This was South Carolina.

[Angela Yee]

You heard crab legs?

[Ryan Serhant]

Yep.

[DJ Envy]

Crab legs.

[Mimi Brown]

Yep. So all of this was wrapped neatly in a bag. A Piggly Wiggly shopping bag.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's go. Piggly Wiggly.

[Mimi Brown]

So the Department of Corrections, they even joke that someone was clearly planning an early Old Bay crab boil and steak dinner. Now, officials say that drone drops are a growing problem nationwide, but they usually involve dangerous drugs, not. Not seafood and seasoning. No arrests have been made, and officials are still investigating who that package was meant for.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, listen, man, I ain't mad at him for trying. It's the holidays, man. I need me a seafood boil, some weed. You know what I mean?

[Ryan Serhant]

Like, I don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't see the problem, man. I'm gonna be honest with you. Like, he tried. Whoever it was tried. I can't be mad at him for trying.

[Mimi Brown]

They definitely. They definitely tried it. And lastly, to a serious question that needs answers this morning. So are y' all Team realtree or. Or Team Artificial?

[DJ Envy]

Girl, I do not want Miles smelling like no damn pine.

[Angela Yee]

I'm artificial. I'm artificial.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've always been Team Real Tree, but, you know, my wife ain't having it. She ain't had it. She hasn't been having it the past couple years. So we artificial trees.

[Mimi Brown]

All of you guys are artificial trees. Okay, well, because this year, the Christmas tree debate is even louder than ever. So real tree fans, they swear that nothing beats the smell, Jess. The tradition, the moment of bringing that pine scent home. And artificial tree people say they're done with the pine needles, the watering, and the mess. They want something they can just pull out of a box and plug in, right? But this year. Yeah, but the cost this year is the real debate. 70% of households are choosing artificial, not just for the convenience, but for the price. A real tree can run anywhere from 120 to $200 this season, thanks to droughts and transportation costs. But artificial trees aren't cheap either. Pre lit versions with all the settings. Those are selling for about $400 this year, they said. All right, y'. All. Well, that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown tv.

[Angela Yee]

[Mimi Brown]

Thank you.

[Angela Yee]

All right, when we come back, Owning Manhattan season two is out right now on Netflix. And we have Ryan Sirhant, Trisha Lee and Jeffrey St. Armand joining us. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DH nv. Just hilarious charlamagne. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren Larose is here as well. And we got some special guests in the building this morning. Season two of Owning Manhattan is out right now on Netflix. We have Ryan Sirhan, Tricia lee and Jeffrey St. Armand. Did I say your name right? That's right. All right, there you go. Welcome, guys.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How you doing?

Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you.

[Ryan Serhant]

Let's go.

[Angela Yee]

First, I want to say thank you to Ryan. I told him, I called him one day and I said, my daughter's in nyu. She wanted to get into real estate. And he told me, well, first she has to get a license. So she got her license in New York, got her license in Jersey. I called her back, back, and he actually gave her a job, which was pretty dope. And she learned the real estate industry from Sirhant and the ins, the outs. And then she's. Now she's in jerseys and she's working. So I just want to say thank you.

[Ryan Serhant]

Thanks, man.

[Angela Yee]

You gave her the captain.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Real estate agent. He don't just do it for tv.

[Ryan Serhant]

TV is like the last thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's a real agent.

[DJ Envy]

That probably happens a lot, though. People think you just, you don't really do it anymore.

[Ryan Serhant]

I bump into people in New York on the street all the time and they're like, what are you doing in New York today? I'm like, I live here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I work here.

[Ryan Serhant]

Oh, it's, it's not on a set in la. I'm like, no, it's real. It's the most real TV show in the history of the world.

[Angela Yee]

And you're actually working?

[Ryan Serhant]

Yeah, yeah, actually working.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But it's because you give actor like the way you're like, you know what I mean?

[Ryan Serhant]

Really?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. You look like an actor.

[DJ Envy]

How?

[Tricia Lee]

Biggest compliment.

[DJ Envy]

When I saw you, I was about to say you look exactly like you look on tv. It's like the look.

[Ryan Serhant]

Yeah. Yeah, I try to stay in character. I shaved my head this summer, and I was recognized less, and it was a. It was fun, hard for me. So I went back into costume.

[Angela Yee]

You know, that's all the skin work. I realized that there's a lot of. At one time, I feel like all on tv, there was nothing but real estate shows.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Angela Yee]

And they were good. I thought they were great. And then I see, like, none.

[Ryan Serhant]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

It's like they all. What, what is happening with the real estate industry where people are either leaving or maybe people are not doing as well as they experience or thought. Why is that?

[Ryan Serhant]

I, I, I mean, we all have feelings about that. I don't think it has to do with the real estate industry. I think it has to do with, with media and how people consume media. It used to be. So Million Dollar Listing was the first show I did in 2012. Right.

[Angela Yee]

I missed that show, too.

[Ryan Serhant]

We did it for 10 years. And that show was special because you couldn't get access to a $10 million house, right. As a viewer, like, you couldn't see a $50 million penthouse. You had to turn on TV to see what that looked like. Today, everything is in the palm of your hand. You can go on Sora and invent one if you want to.

[Angela Yee]

Right.

[Ryan Serhant]

So the shows now are no longer about the access. So if you're a, if you want to make a real estate show and all you have is real estate, no one cares. And I think what makes this show so special, people like Tricia and Jeffrey, who are characters, they're great people, but they are characters in this insane world of New York City real estate. And that's what people want to see, that the real estate is actually like the, the bookends. Right. It's the skeleton.

[DJ Envy]

Like the backdrop.

[Ryan Serhant]

Yeah, it's the backdrop. And then, so a lot of the shows have come off the air. They've tried, and they've been canceled because they're. They suck. Except for ours. Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

And we tell a great story, too. Like, how often do you have, like, a couple that's together, working together, you know, live together and, and just together, shoot together, you know, and actually come from Brooklyn to go into Manhattan. So there's interesting story lines, and we really try to, like, tell it differently so that the viewer, at some point, you're gonna get tired of seeing the same thing over and over again. So, I mean, I think the thing that we really did different is, like, we really got into great storytelling. And really, the visually, when you look at it, it looks Almost like a docu series. It doesn't really feel like typical reality tv.

[Tricia Lee]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

And how's the market now?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How is the market?

[Angela Yee]

I mean, it's. They're saying that house has been on market the longest in a long time. Is it a buyer's market? Is it a seller's market? Where should people be looking? Should they be looking now? Should they sit it out? What's your thoughts on it? I mean, personally, I think it's always a good time to look. I mean, whenever, like there's a couple things. There's a tale of two markets, I call it, because you have. If you look at, you know, luxury sector, 4 million and up. And the data, you got to be careful, like, what you read and what you hear and just really look at the data. The data shows that there's been a lot of sales in that track, in that price point. And now, conversely, with lower price points, people are affected by interest rates, but we do see interest rates are dropping and getting lower. So then people start to become more active. So I think the time is really now, and especially this time in the season, this is when you can get deals. You know, during this time, things that, to your point, have been sitting on the market for a little bit bit, but now you can be more aggressive as a buyer. So it just find that little comfortable medium between, you know, sellers that are realistic about pricing and buyers who are realistic about where they can land and we can find a deal. What are you finding, Trish?

[Tricia Lee]

Well, I think it's a little different for us because our brokerage gets quite a bit of visibility. So there's the market and then there's our business, which is very different. Like, we get. I mean, our phones are ringing. We're very busy. We are listing billions of dollars of real estate. And I think that owning Manhattan has some part of that. You know, the Sirhant brand has a lot to do with it. And I think the characters that are at the firm, I think everyone that is at Sirhant has such their. Of their own individual story. Like, I think. I don't know if it was Ryan or when the producer said it's like all of these people just show up and they all think that they're the lead and they're the main character and they just happen to all be sitting in a room. And that's how it is because in my mind, I'm the star of the show and I think that's the safe. It's the same for everyone else as you actually are.

[Angela Yee]

The same.

[Tricia Lee]

But I think that's what's interesting about the brand is it really attracts people that are really like the face of their business and they're comfortable with that and they lean into it and they use media in really creative ways to do it. So our business is very different than the market business right now. We're grateful for that.

[Angela Yee]

I was going to ask, you know, with the market being bad in a lot of places and people being broke and just being able to afford, you know, rent at the time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

They've been encouraging people to start buying houses so that money that they're paying for rent could actually be towards house as their there places or some type of grants that you send people to where they could actually get help with doing that.

[Tricia Lee]

I think the best help personally, because, I mean, for speaking about New York specifically is to buy together and to get creative about it. You know, Jersey is getting that right and I think that millennials missed out on that mark. But when I speak to people, especially all through Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights, wherever, there's so many stories are you and I bought and then as soon as we were up on our feet street, then we got, we made sure our sister bought and then we made sure our cousin bought. So when I talk to people and we're selling these houses, multi million dollar homes people have been in for 20, 30 years, the stories are all the same. They got creative and they did it together.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Ryan Serhant]

You know, you can sell portions of an llc. So co ownership for younger generation is becoming a thing that we do now that we've never done before now. So New York City's hard because you can only cut it up a couple different ways. But like if you like, you can take any eight, eight cousins in Florida and you can cut up a purchase price times eight. And maybe only two of you live there, but the rest of you are helping and it's an investment for them and you get to ride the market as the market increases.

[Tricia Lee]

Equity is always gorgeous.

[Ryan Serhant]

Yeah.

[Tricia Lee]

You know, especially I mean in New York. I've watched it for 22 years straight and I just, I always tell everyone we can walk down the block anywhere in Brooklyn or anywhere in Manhattan and we feel proud of the work that we've done for our clients. Because if I see you five years from now, I know I'm going to be the favorite person you run into today. Because I know I was a part of that really smart investment that you made, you know, and that feels good in the daily work.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's the quiet you know, pressures y' all carry now because of this show, because, you know, when you think about your brand, your brokerage, your brokerage, they're all tied to decisions that are made on this show. Is there any pressure that comes with it?

[Ryan Serhant]

Yes. Yeah. I mean, it's. You know, someone said to me yesterday, the show is uncomfortably authentic. And I think to your point about other shows not being on the air anymore, no one wants to be sold, right? No one wants to watch stuff that's super produced anymore. Like, the show watches us in real time, whether deals get done or not, whether people are happy or not, whether things are going our way or not. I think all three of us have some sort of mental breakdown this season on camera that we probably wish was not out there. And so there's. There's a lot of pressure, but I think we. We also understand the role of our responsibility to. To not just the world, but to our industry, to. To show it in as great of a light as we possibly can and then make use of it, man. Like, we are so lucky. It is not lost on us. Like, it's. It's hard enough to get one TV show, let alone a big one like this that's on a global network like Netflix that drops all over the world in one day, where people get to say, oh, I'll go work with those people. I mean, it's. It's a massive commercial for us, and.

[Angela Yee]

They need to have it picked up for season two.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's.

[Angela Yee]

That's even the bigger thing.

[DJ Envy]

That's a hard or.

[Ryan Serhant]

Three.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Three.

[Ryan Serhant]

We want three. Now everybody go watch it so it can be a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's the choir presence for y'? All.

[Tricia Lee]

I think it has changed. I think for season one, for me, it was like, I. I am showing up as the black woman, and I created this. This pressure for myself that I had to, at some point, release to really give myself that freedom. And then obviously, I felt that it gave other black women that freedom. I was like, I'm just gonna show up as me, and y' all are gonna love it or leave it. I don't care. And I'll give you the realness of who I am, but I'll also give you all the layers of who I am. So I'm not gonna just show up and be the person that's sassy. I'm also going to be smart. I'm also going to be gentle. I'm going to be vulnerable. I'm going to be. I can be very maternal in some moments. You know, I can Be a teacher in some moments. I can also check you in other moments. And I. So I felt like, let me just show all of that. And that's the only pressure I'm going to put on myself now. I feel that the pressure is kind of always showing that we are actual real agents because that's the question we could ask the most. And I mean, I can't speak for everyone on the show, but I'm 10 years in. I had my 10 year anniversary last week.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Week.

Happy anniversary.

[Angela Yee]

Congratulations.

[Tricia Lee]

And another 10 year anniversary as well.

[Angela Yee]

Congrats.

[Tricia Lee]

But yeah, so it's like.

[Angela Yee]

When you find.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me know.

[Tricia Lee]

But no, it's, it's, to me, it's like I do feel the need to, you know, just validate my business and I never felt that before, but being on tv, people just decide that you're not actually really doing that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This.

[Tricia Lee]

I have to be on top of my emails to the moment I walk in and talk to you guys and then start right back up the minute I walk out. My clients don't care nothing about what I'm doing right now or that show. They care about their assets.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What about you, Jeffrey?

[Angela Yee]

No, man. I think one thing, just to piggyback on what Trisha's saying, I think it's important to understand like the vulnerability that we reveal on the show because with us, part of our story arc is that we're coming from Brooklyn into Manhattan and there's some great story origins with a new listing that we have like here on 5th Ave, 5 East 59th street history and the origin story with Trish and how that happened, which is nothing that we plan or stage whatsoever. This is all authentic and how that comes full circle the moment and when you watch the show, you'll get to, you know, to really understand it. But it's really heartfelt. I would say probably one of the most compelling moments of the season.

[Tricia Lee]

I mean, we're shocked. I'm so shocked. I forget the cameras are there and I'm like, what? And they catch everything. Because it was just. Yeah, it was such a surprise. Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

But to answer your question though, for me, for me, what's really important is what Trish says is to really make sure that people understand that we know the business. The truth is you have to know the business inside out. You have to be cognizant of what's happening in real time. You got to be able to disseminate like what's the truth and how does it really impact you? Because everything, you know, real estate is really both Macro and micro. So you got to be able to understand what's micro for your world and the macro piece that you read from, you know, on every other platform. So I will say this, though. I didn't necessarily understand how difficult real estate was. Right. Until I had a daughter in it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Tricia Lee]

Yes.

[Angela Yee]

And I'm watching her with the emails and sending out emails, and then I'm watching her, she'll get somebody, then she'll go to show the apartment, and she'll drive 40 minutes to that apartment. And then the person will say, I have to, I can't do it today.

[Ryan Serhant]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

And how much time it takes. And you break down how much effort, energy it goes into doing it. Because people just see the glitz.

[Ryan Serhant]

But.

[Angela Yee]

The work that goes to the free Jesus. Yeah. I mean, we're in 10 years for a reason.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

So it just didn't happen right off the bat. We're here on owning Manhattan or we're just selling, you know, 15, $20 million properties. You have to start from the grind. I mean, there are times when you work for months to two months to three months without getting paid. How long did you get paid on your first deal?

[Tricia Lee]

Oh my gosh, six months. And it was no money at all. No money at all.

[Angela Yee]

So you got it.

[Tricia Lee]

Yeah. And there's. I feel like the shows, they tend to show all the glitz. And there's so much work that we do, we never get paid for. There's so many efforts that we make that nobody cares about. About. And I feel like being on the show, I want to make sure I share that story because the assumption is when you look really great and maybe Ryan will hire you and then you'll end up on a show and then you'll sell real estate. It's the complete opposite business plan. It's like you've got to do a really great job for even be like, on his radar.

[Ryan Serhant]

Yeah.

[Tricia Lee]

To even be end up on the radar. And then being on the show creates pressure too. Because I don't want to put a product out there that I can't sell because I mean, every time I run into anybody, they're like, oh, so what happened was with, you know, that's the worst part. Yeah.

[Ryan Serhant]

You know, cuz you film in real time and so you're like, hey, I just got this listing, this building or this penthouse, something like, let's go film it. And then. But filming doesn't last forever. You eventually have to stop. And if it hasn't sold, that's what happens. And then everyone, what Happened.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[Tricia Lee]

Oh, did you.

[Ryan Serhant]

Did you fail? You failed in front of the world at selling an apartment. That's not that hard.

[Angela Yee]

And the one thing people don't realize as we're shooting, oftentimes we're still negotiating a real thing time. So we're shooting under the guise of this is going to be sold on the show, and we're just hoping that it gets sold. Like, that was the case last season for us. I mean, it was a property that we. We were just. We shot it, we closed it, and, like, we were still the closing table trying to close in real time as we were shooting the scene of it being closed.

[Tricia Lee]

And it was, like, such a difficult transaction. It got, like, awarded Real estate board.

[Ryan Serhant]

Oh, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They.

[Ryan Serhant]

They won deal of the year.

[Tricia Lee]

Deal of the year for all of New York. So it. And that's really an award that's hard to do.

[Ryan Serhant]

Like, that's a real.

[Tricia Lee]

That's a real deal that shouldn't have closed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's.

[Tricia Lee]

That's the reason for the award. The whole industry gets together to say, you actually did it. That was the deal that was on the show first season. So imagine the layers of stress there, you know, and you're on TV for the first time as well.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but I was gonna say, so on top of all the stress you're on tv, you also have, like, your personal lives that are being shown. There's a character there. Where do y' all find the time to do all of that, like, work? Like, what are y' all teams, like, behind the scenes that help you guys? Because there's a lot of interaction and correspondence with trying to close something.

[Tricia Lee]

There's so much support, though.

[Angela Yee]

But it's just really time management management and just having a support system. Like, thankfully, that's part of the reasons.

[Ryan Serhant]

Why and not wasting time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Ryan Serhant]

A big piece of advice I give to people a lot, especially younger. Younger people, is you have the time. Everyone's got the same amount of hours. Yep. Like, I have the same amount of hours that she has that Oprah has. You know what I mean? Like, we all have the same amount of time in a day and do a time audit. Like, actually just same way if you're trying to lose weight, like, you do a diet, you know, journal to see, like, oh, wait, you're right. Like, I do eat a lot. I just eat a little bit all the time, and then it all adds up. Same thing with time. Like, if you'll. You'll see. Shoot. Okay. My screen time. Wow. I did open TikTok 72 times today. What if I didn't do that? What else could I do? You know? And so that's like. That's an epidemic. And that brain rot. Right. You know, it's real. It's totally real. Which is, like, in Australia now, they outlawed social media for kids under 16, which I think is really going to change the landscape.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Ryan Serhant]

You know, country by country by country. And I think it's a major mental health issue of. Just because it's easier and then you're never bored. And kids need to be bored. Like, they gotta figure things out. They gotta find things to be difficult. And it's one of the harder things about hiring kids now outta school to come work in real estate is they're like, all right, well, where's the. Where's the thing? The thing? The thing, the thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The thing.

[Ryan Serhant]

Like, you just sit still and you just need to put in the work and build it. They've never done it before. Like, they've never built a block house because. Because you can't swipe a block house.

[Angela Yee]

What's the one house that you guys didn't sell that bites at you every day?

[Ryan Serhant]

Oh, my God. Covid. Going 2019. Going to 2020. A foreign investment fund wanted to buy a building in New York City. And I'd never sold a building before. Okay. And we found a building on the east side. It's called Copper Tower. It's a building that looks like a. Like a K. Okay. It was March, the beginning of March of 2020. We had a contract out for just under $990 million. And I had never done a deal like that before. Like, literally life changing. The money that was coming in was heavily backed by oil money. And then people started getting sick and the price of oil drops. The stock market tanks, the deal gets put on ice and the deal dies.

[Angela Yee]

And then it.

[Ryan Serhant]

Someone else bought it, like two years later. And I think about that deal dying.

[Angela Yee]

What would have been your commission?

[Ryan Serhant]

It would be 2% of basically a billion, you know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Ryan Serhant]

So it had been, I think, just under $20 million. And I. And I think about that four times a day. So that one that. That jumped. Right. I do think about that deal because it was just so. But we all have those. I mean, are. If you're thinking about getting into real estate and you're thinking about your career, anybody can do it. Because it's 75, 80 hours. You click online, the barrier of entry is incredibly low. But the chance of success is. It's even lower. Right. 90% of everyone who gets A license, bails, because there is no benefits, there's no salary. You have to eat what you kill, and no one tells you what to do. But if you put in the work, if you're good to people, you follow up. You can have a completely limitless career. And I think that opportunity is. Is part of the magic that the show also follows, because it does follow all the dead deals. Because our job is to lose. The job is to swing so much that you lose, you take so many shots at the net that you just. You miss them all, because the ones that go in are worth it, you know? And you're only as good as your last deal in this business. I was selling an apartment before Uber came out to one of the taxi kings of New York City, who owned all the medallions. Super rich, right? Super, super rich. Buying an apartment in lower Manhattan. It's like $25 million, full floor, insane deal. But it's new construction, so you go to contract, like, two years before you close. In those two years, Uber. Uber gets approved to come into New York City. Taxis basically disappear. And the value of that medallion, which went from like, 1.1, $1.2 million, went to, like 200 grand. So his net worth went from here all the way to here, and he couldn't close. And I remember, like, they were going to take his deposit, which in a building like that is, I think, 20%. So 20% of about, you know, of. It's like 5 million bucks kind of, you know, say by $5 million, you lose. And he, like, grabbed me by my. My suit lapel and he put me up against the wall. I. I tell the story because I put it in a book, and he never came after me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But.

[Ryan Serhant]

And he was like. He was like, I've put people under the bridge. If you don't get me out of this, you're next. And I had to find him an attorney to try to get. And we found something in the offering plan, which is the book that the Attorney General approves one line that the developer hadn't actually done their job on, and we got him out of his deposit. And I'm still here today.

That one was a rough one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Angela Yee]

And how do you deal with. With people yelling at you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right?

[Angela Yee]

Because at the end of the day, you're doing a job for a client, right? And you're trying to do the best job that you can. But sometimes I'm sure things don't go the way that they want. But the disrespect, I see it sometimes. So how Do y' all deal with that?

[Ryan Serhant]

It's never you, you, you have to, to. It's hard at the beginning until you understand that people never really grow up. They're just disguised as like 40 year old men, you know, and they don't know who else to take it out on, so they take it out on you or when married to them. Yeah, but like married couples, like, is she gonna yell at her husband? You know what, it's easier to yell at Jeffrey because she's angry at the situation, not necessarily angry at us. So like, you always just have to detach and understand that they're upset about the situation and you have to be able to empathize with it. And then you just mirror and say, I understand. If I could yell at myself, I would. Like, I'm here with you. You just keep. You agree, you agree, you agree. And then you hit them with solution, solution, solution. And then they don't know what to do. And they say, just fix it. Right. And that's how you, that's how you get through it.

[Angela Yee]

And a lot of this, like, we wear multiple hats. I mean, part of it is a therapist.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Angela Yee]

You know, being able to understand, be empathetic to what they're going through and then realizing this is someone's most, you know, their biggest asset and so their most expensive asset ever. So you got to really understand where it's coming from. It's not really you, it's just them. And they're like, oh, my God, this isn't happening the way I expected it to happen. So you just have to understand and just have, you know, answers and solutions to whatever the issue is in, like, right then and there.

[Ryan Serhant]

Most of the time people are just mad at themselves.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Ryan Serhant]

And so they, they just take it out on other people. Yeah, you know, I do that.

[DJ Envy]

You break down in the, in the trailer.

[Ryan Serhant]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

You break down just because of all of the, like, pressure. How often do y' all break down even though it's not y'?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All?

[Tricia Lee]

Once before lunch for dinner. Yeah.

[Ryan Serhant]

Typically 11am Usually.

[Angela Yee]

It varies with the deals and what we're dealing with. You know, like, there are times where, you know, deals just fall apart and you do everything you can. They still fall apart. You know.

[DJ Envy]

What was your part like? What was it exactly? What is the biggest. This is the cherry on top. It now the tears are flowing.

[Ryan Serhant]

That scene. Yeah, that's in the season finale was not anticipated. It wasn't like planned or anything. And just goes to how real this show is and how uncomfortable a lot of it is. The show's also really funny. You know, it's very aspirational. It's very sexy, glitzy, big real estate and all that. But then at the same time, it shows all the, The, The. The gutters of the business, too. And there's just a lot, you know, there's a lot going on. I bootstrapped the business for four years by myself. Myself, you know, on 100 of it, everything's on me. Do I grow? Do I not grow? People are angry. People are happy. There's personal pressures. There's no time. I sleep four hours a day. Why did I ever do this? Should I what, Should I just move? Like, what? You know, there's just like a lot of this, and I have no one to talk to because everyone is biased. Your therapist is biased. Your spouse is by your friend, the company. My mom is biased.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got a biased therapist. Yeah, but they're all.

[Ryan Serhant]

They're biased to you. They want what's best for you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do always. I do.

[Ryan Serhant]

If you're a therapist and you're watching this, my email is ryan sirhant.com.

[DJ Envy]

You'Re about to get a whole lot of resumes for a real estate.

[Ryan Serhant]

Please. I need. I need mental health. And I was talking to my ex assistant, who I just have, like, a very friendly relationship with, and he was in my email for five years. So he just knows my life. And it was the first time I'd actually just, like, talked about everything that was going on. And, you know, I think I say, like, I. I focus on the work because the work keeps me focused and I don't know what else to do. And then there was just an awkward silence, and then I just lost it. And then the cameras are there, and I'm like, oh, Jesus.

[Tricia Lee]

I feel like everyone found out about that, though. Like, Ryan was crying. I was like, wait. And we're like, he doesn't have any emotions.

[Ryan Serhant]

That man has no heart.

[Angela Yee]

Do you still think that? The people from Million Dollar Listings, I feel like they just. Just off the face of the planet. Like, any of those guys anymore?

[Ryan Serhant]

No. Crazy. No. I don't see that.

[Angela Yee]

You don't see them no more. You don't hear any shows about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just realized this is a different. It's not the same show this minute.

This is a different show.

[Angela Yee]

None of those guys start with season one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Start with season one.

[Angela Yee]

They were big characters, and you just don't see them anymore. And it's just weird that you just Ownie.

[Ryan Serhant]

Manhattan is my fifth reality show. I did four For Bravo, Million dollar listing, a wedding show, a renovation show, and then a show called Sell it, like Sirhant, which we turned into sell it.com, which is a sales training business business. And then owning Manhattan, which we, you know, pushed over to Netflix. And I think what's, what's cool for us is I think for other shows and the other guys, right, a lot of people like you talked about, they get on TV and they want to be on tv. They want to be famous, they want to become influencers and sell toasters or whatever. The three of us have, like, fame as a byproduct of our ability to do more business and build the greatest careers of all time. And I think the audience sees that, and so they keep giving us more because it's just real. And so I built a sales team, my first career as a real estate agent on the back of Bravo, you know, million dollar listing. And now we're building a company in kind of a meta way on the backs of Netflix. And people get to watch like going from a couple of us at a dinner table to, okay, there's 1500 of us now in 15 states. Yeah, what does that look like? And then just watch that whole Janet. To raising money for the first time, to getting fired, having people quit on you. And so, yeah, so I think the other guys, you know, were. I mean, I think there's a lot of one hit wonders out there across the board. You see it in music, you see it in sports, you know, and so we work really, really hard to focus on the work. If you take care of the work, the work will take care of you.

[Angela Yee]

We appreciate you guys for joining us. Season 2 of Owning Manhattan is on Netflix right now. Ryan Sirhan, Trisha Lee and Jeffrey say Amman, thank you so much. How about am looking for something. She's gonna come right to Brooklyn. I already spoke to her. Okay, say no more. Good. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight face.

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Ryan Serhant]

She gets the details.

[DJ Envy]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on.

The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Jeezy sat down with Bishop T.D. jakes for his podcast Next Chapter, and they had a conversation in full about his life and some of the things that he's been through. But Jeezy Opened up a lot about his divorce and what he learned. So let's take a listen to Jeezy on what he learned from his marriage and his divorce.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What did you learn from it? I learned I was a great husband. I got a beautiful daughter out of a situation, so there's no regrets there. But I learned a lot about myself. I learned about, you know, my preferences for things, the type of space that I need, type of moments that I need to decompress about certain things. And this just unselfish nature that I was selfish in my prior life. And I think just going forward in life, it just taught me how to, like, give someone else grace and actually listen to understand, rather than just to listen to reply. Yeah. Because when you share in the life of somebody, you know, it's almost like you don't become one. But this is a partnership. Right. And so for me, it's almost like I've never experienced anything like that.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. So there are. There's a, you know, conversation now around this clip because people are trying to figure out. Because he says, you know, I felt like I was a great husband. And people were upset to hear him say that because it ended in a divorce. But what now, this is what I think people are missing. Cause there was another part of the interview where he talks about what he learned, which I thought was actually really powerful. And it was a lot of accountability on his part. People are missing that. You know, you go through things, you learn, and you find out what you did good, what you did bad. Let's take a listen to Jeezy on what he says he would do differently.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I would definitely take my time. I've learned now that friendship is the biggest key to anything. I mean, I think when you become friends with someone and you're, like, really invested in the friendship, it just builds a different type of foundation. I would make sure that the community is as strong as the foundation.

[Angela Yee]

Because it takes a community, like, to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Keep, you know, to keep you accountable and have people that you can process with. To be honest with you, I didn't have a lot of great examples of relationships. And I do want to say this, though, because I felt like when people hear me speak about, like, what I went through with my mom and all this stuff, they like, oh, you went into a relationship marriage with mommy issues. I had been working on that stuff. So that had nothing to do with my timeline with my marriage. It was a humbling experience to have to, like, make sure that you're present enough to hear what somebody else is saying. There should be no judgment there.

He's right. But did the good brother jeezy learn that Dr. Umar was right?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can he talk about that?

[DJ Envy]

When I heard that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can he talk about that? Did he learn that a lot of black women around him were right? Right. Because a lot of black women were saying he should have been with a sister. Not saying there's anything wrong with the relationship that he was in. I'm just saying that when he speaks about community and things of that nature, sounds like he's saying Dr. Umar was correct.

[Angela Yee]

Sound like you need to say he's working on himself. Right. He was talking about the fact that he was. He was selfish in a relationship and things like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I heard him say he should be with a black woman. That's what I need to say.

[DJ Envy]

Both things. But I heard that. When I heard this part of it, I said, oh, he realized that he. He didn't need to be there. Like, yeah, absolutely.

[Angela Yee]

And his last name, Jenkins.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can only give that to another black woman. You see what I'm saying? You know, Jenny Jenkins never sounded. That sounded crazy. I mean, it sounded like, oh, Jenny Jenkins. You expect one presentation to walk in the room.

[DJ Envy]

But then, you know, Jenkins is like, no, my marriage.

[Angela Yee]

It sounds like to me, he said he needs to work on himself and he was a lot selfish and he had to be more in that relationship, more open. Right. Talk about things that's not just. He said he wasn't. I call it right fighting. Right. Fighting is you just want to be right in a relationship and you don't want to listen. And he said he had to go back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's not what we heard. We heard him say he should have.

[Angela Yee]

Been with a black woman. I would expect you to say that because you influencial.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, get black and you, whatever you are.

[Angela Yee]

I am. I'm black, sir. But go ahead, continue.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He.

[DJ Envy]

He just learned how. He just heard. Learned in marriage that it's not just about him. Like, I don't think that he, you.

[Angela Yee]

Know, was saying anything else.

[DJ Envy]

It's just like, okay, oh, yeah, this thing is about. It's not just me. It's a union.

[Angela Yee]

It's like me and you. I gotta be emotionally intelligent enough to.

[DJ Envy]

Care about how you feel too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, I heard him say he should have been on a black woman. You know what else is funny? Every time Jeezy does these kind of interviews. Cause I remember when he did it with Nia Long, too. And now he did it with Bishop T.D. jakes. I get a bunch of people Hitting me a bunch of ladies that I know. Why you don't hook me up with Jeezy?

[Angela Yee]

Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I am some type of matchmaker they like with Jeezy being these.

[DJ Envy]

He sounds very accountable, very mature, very grown, very like, you know, it's not giving Snowman. No, it's giving. No, it's not.

[Ryan Serhant]

[Angela Yee]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn. The he haw again. It's time for donkey of the day.

I'm not trying to be donkey today no more.

They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things called donkey of the day.

[DJ Envy]

And it really caught me off guard.

Got the donkey of the day Today.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's crazy, right? How you. How's somebody gonna get mad at me? Cause I try to be a good coworker and tell them they sweatsuits smell a little used.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, you an ass, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just asked did they work out this morning. I'm like, you know, you gotta be around people today. Anyway, Donkey of the day.

[Angela Yee]

What's wrong with him, man?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

For Wednesday, December 10th goes to Maurice Nolan Evans. Okay? He's 25 years old and he's been charged with murder after a parking lot dispute ended in him killing a man named Dominique Goodman. First things first. Rest in peace to that brother, Dominique, man. Let's go to WSBBTV for the report, please.

That's why I don't argue with people, man. I'll advise anybody on that.

Don't argue with nobody.

[Angela Yee]

That's advice from a Bojangles customer after he learned why the fast food restaurant was closed. I told him an employee here is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Accused of killing the father of his co worker and the store's parking lot. Maurice Evans faces murder, aggravated assault and.

[Angela Yee]

Felony possession of a firearm during a crime.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And the death of Dominique Goodman.

[Angela Yee]

Palmetto police say a manage Evans home for the day Sunday afternoon.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Officers say instead of going home, Evans.

[Angela Yee]

Waited for about an hour for Goodman to arrive. And when the guy got out, he got out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shooting. Marlene lately says she is a family friend of the Goodman's. She says Goodman's daughter works at the restaurant and called her father for help.

[Angela Yee]

After getting into a dispute with Evans. Goodman then came to the restaurant to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Check on his daughter.

[DJ Envy]

Very protective, his children.

[Angela Yee]

Just like anybody would be. She never expected it to end with him dead.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why? Why, why, why, why? Rest in peace. Dominique Goodman again. Man. You know, I got four daughters. My daughter comes to me and tells me you picking on her. You know, she had a dispute with a grown man. I gotta come holl at you about it, okay? And now I'm dead. Because you lack emotional intelligence. I haven't read in this story or heard in this story where Dominique had a gun. I haven't read in this story where he was aggressive. I don't know what was said to this 25 year old man, Maurice Evans, by Dominique. But I know that whatever it was, was. It wasn't worth Dominique being un alive for it. And it's not worth Maurice having a murder charge. I love Bojangles, okay? I had a bullberry biscuit the week of Thanksgiving. I ordered two actually. Okay. I only ate one because that's about 350, 370 calories. But the moral of the story is, Bo Berry biscuits ain't dying for you, man. Okay? Bojangles ain't worth dying over. You a manager at Bojangles. A manager at a restaurant, Period. A manager at a fast food chain. Managers at restaurants and fast food chains must hear and take customer and employee complaints saints seriously, okay? Managers are the first line of defense for the culture of any establishment. Not just culture, productivity and legal risk. Okay? I don't know what you said to this man's daughter, but what if what you said was liable and her father coming to talk to you about it enabled you to see a different perspective, change your behavior and shift some, shift some things around before you and Bojangles got sued, okay? All you had to do, young man, was listen to what this father's complaints were and move on. On. But no, you decided to grab a pistol and shoot and kill this man.

For what?

We gotta shed our fragile eagles, people. It's 2025, all right? This is the year of the snake. 2025 was the year of the snake. I don't know if y' all know that, okay? The snake year means shedding, okay? You shed all that bad energy, bad behavior. This is about transformation and new beginnings. And it's a nine year, okay? Two plus two plus five equals nine. This is an endings year year, okay? A karmic completion year. And boy, oh boy, Maurice, have you just embarked on a new beginning called prison? All right? Now, there was a part of me that initially thought this is why we got to teach our kids to stand up for themselves. But I don't know how old his daughter was. What if she was 16 and the manager, Maurice, is 25. She went home to tell her daddy about this grown man picking on her. So he pulled up. You know, even if she was 16 and knew how to stand up for herself, clearly this dude Maurice was unstable and might have ended up harming the young lady in some way. You just never know nowadays. And this is why everyone should just mind their business. I agree with the brother that was talking at the beginning of the thing. Play that, play the clip again, right? That's when he argue with people, man.

I, I, I'll advise anybody on that.

Don't argue with nobody. Stop right there. That I don't argue with people unless it's on the radio or on a podcast, okay? Mind your business. Mind your black owned business. Mind the business that pays you. Managers shouldn't be picking on employees, okay? The only thing you should be telling that employee to do is their Job. If you get complaints from employees, employees, parents, customers, just listen to the complaints and adjust accordingly. You do not grab your pistol and kill them for complaining about whatever they was complaining about. And the fact I even have to say that is nuts. But welcome to the current world we live in. Please let Remy Ma give Maurice Evans the biggest hee haw.

[Angela Yee]

Hee haw hee.

[DJ Envy]

Hawk, you stupid mother. Are you dumb? Sad.

[Angela Yee]

So sad.

[Ryan Serhant]

Tragic.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tragic.

[Angela Yee]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, ma'.

Am.

[Angela Yee]

All right, when we come back, Swayvo Swain will be joining us. That is the son of Angie Stone and d'. Angelo. He has a new song called Dove Sore, and we're gonna talk to him when we come back. I actually don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren laros is here as well.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, sir.

[Angela Yee]

So first we just say, you know, sending all the condolences and well wishes and everything. How you doing now? How you feeling, man?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you for the condolences, but, man, they. They. They in a better place than me, man. They ain't paying no bills no more. They good, man. They turn, but I'm good, man. Just taking the moment by moment. For real.

I know every day is a different day, different emotion, I'm sure.

Yeah, it'd be. It'd be some days better than others for sure. But we still pushing, man. We still pushing.

When I think about you, man, I think about you. You know, you had two, you know, legends as parents, right? When did you first realize that that wasn't normal in school?

Like, kindergarten? For real? Like. Like, I was always type. I ain't never really tell people in school, like, I just go to school and just be Mike. But if I get in trouble or anything and my mama have to come up to the school, like, the teacher be done. See my parents, so she know who she is, but she gonna wait till in front of the whole class be like, is such and such your mama? And I. And I might say yes, I might say no. And then, like, the whole class will know, and they gonna ask they mama and it just be a whole little thing. So that's when I realized it.

[Angela Yee]

How was growing Up. Did you grow up? I don't wanna say normal because we had two iconic stars. Were you always on the road? How was growing up?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, it was, it was normal at times. So like in my earlier years, I went with my mama. Like I was, you know, with grandma. So I'm saying Columbia, South Carolina, 803. The Met, for sure. One was. And you know, my mama came and got me from Columbia when I was about 12 or 13, moved me to Atlanta. So when I first moved to Atlanta, that was like a super culture shock. I'm like, everybody out here got money. Like, we stayed right, like $2 down for Patman Jones and he was turned, like, so it was normal. But I tried to be as normal as I could. But then when people started figuring it out, they was just doing extra stuff, you know.

You, you went back to Columbia though? Did you go to usc or am I tripping? N. Oh, okay, okay, okay.

I, I, I, I go back to Columbia just to visit. I probably got like a three day limit in Colombia.

What, what's one lesson your father taught you about, like, artistry and then one lesson your mother taught you about discipline?

My, my daddy, like, we never really, we, sometimes we would discuss like, like music notes and music theory, but we didn't really discuss stuff like that. He really put me on like, mindset things like, this is how you need to be with your business. This is how you need to be with your team. Like, this is how you need to be with your mentor when you get overwhelmed, things like that. And my mama, she ain't have to show me nothing. Like, I seen it. Like, my mama, like.

She'Ll be in the hospital and get out the hospital that night and go to go do the show and nobody know.

Wow.

You know what I'm saying? She was a real soldier gangster. So she ain't have to say nothing. I was, I was watching, I was living it with her, you know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

And I saw your video that you posted on your Instagram and you just, well, first of all, I just want to say watching you speak at their funerals, it you just, there's still like such a joy there or something that I didn't understand. I've never been through what you've been through, but I don't know if you can kind of like talk us through when we're seeing you. You're like making everybody laugh and, and you're with your family and it's the push ups and y' all just having a good time. I'm like, how is he able to, you know, do that for everybody in the situation he's in?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, that's my personality. Like, I'm not a complainer, you know what I'm saying? I'm not like a woe is me guy. And I'm always trying to, like, bring the vibes, you know what I'm saying? So in a moment like this, when everything be morbid and dark, like. Like I'm gonna make everybody laugh, right? You know what I'm saying? Cause that's how my mama was. Like, she was so funny. Like, she. She the funny person, you know, but she ain't telling no jokes, you know what I'm saying? So I just. I just always try to keep it light, man. You know, even at funerals, like, you know, not for nothing, the funeral be for the living. It don't be for the dead. Cause they going already. So, you know, let's laugh and talk about the good times. Let's not, you know, as much as we can.

You know, it's interesting, me, I could tell how much faith you have in God, because, you know, when you first started the conversation, you said, I mean, they in a better place. Like, if you're a true believer, that's really. That really should be the mindset, right?

100. Yeah. Yeah. No, this.

Man, When. When they. When they. When they leave here, you. You. You really, like, as they son, I think I'm really seeing how much they was actually shouldering on the day that, like, you know, especially me in the music business, my mom been in the business since forever ago, and my dad is the same thing. So, you know, shifting from label to label, by the time you get to 20, 25, the business be all messed up, you know what I'm saying? You know, you. You try to fix it and work on it, but they just unfortunately ran out of time. So now, you know, I'm fighting that fight for them. So I think is. I'm like, damn, y' all were doing this every day. Like, this is what y' all were battling with and still going to work and still dealing on top of that. I can't, cuz. Sorry, y'.

All.

But yeah, man, they. They were. They were some soldiers, man.

[Angela Yee]

What gave you the music? I don't want to say. What gave you the music bubble? When did you say, I want to start singing? When did you know you had that you. That you could sing?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When I. When I. When I moved to Atlanta and seeing the rich kids was turned. They. They was a little bit older than Me. And they had the hottest. The hottest thing in Atlanta. I'm like, oh, this was going on, man. You know, I started. I still was really running from it, but. But maybe like, I was 15, 16, my mama bought his whole studio set up for her in the house, and I ain't never used it. So I started going down there recording myself, figuring it out, and before you know it, I done did about 50, 60 songs. I done went and played her something. She actually really loved it, you know what I'm saying? So when she did that, she just put the battery in my back, and I was just going hard from there.

[Angela Yee]

And what did your dad say about your music? Cause they said he was a hard critique when it came to music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, for sure. Like, I'm not gonna lie. Just be real with you. My. My daddy didn't really embrace it and say, go ahead and go crazy, son. He didn't do that to. After my mama passed. Really? Yeah. Like, he ain't. He never really wanted me doing music because everything he went through with the business, you know what I'm saying? He's like, son, I don't want you in. You know what I'm saying? But it's like, man, I ain't. Man, I'm gonna work in the warehouse.

[DJ Envy]

Like, I don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm tired of the warehouse, tired of the call center. Like, I'm cold. You know what I'm saying? But after my mom passed, he really tapped in. He was, like, very impressed, like, you know, and that's all I ever really wanted anyway.

Just.

Just him to hear.

[Angela Yee]

Get that approval.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. How do you call about your own identity while still acknowledging the legacy come from?

That's. That's been my battle all my life. But I can't do nothing but be me. Like, when you. When you hear my music, it's like you can hear them in it, but it's still me. I'm doing a whole different thing. And I ain't trying to battle them or trying to live up to what they did. They already did it. They don't. Went to the. Went to the mountain. I'm on my own journey, you know, sway between. And I can't. I can't run from who I am. And I ain't trying to, but I'm not trying to. I can't compete with that, and I don't want to.

[Angela Yee]

Did you do records with them with your parents?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I'm on my mama last album. Me and her. Me and her got a song together. Me, my mama, and my sister. Diamond, we have a song together that I'm release. Me and my pops never got to work together, though. I think that's, I like number one regret. We ain't never get to do nothing. Yeah. Me, my mom, for sure.

[DJ Envy]

I saw you also talk about the, you know, the time that you spent with your dad. It was like a week or a couple weeks that you guys got. And just after your mom passed away, the time that you guys were spending together and you said you finally saw your parents as just like people because there was a lot of things that I guess you had in one way in your mind.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And then when you and your dad spent that time after your mom passed away, you, you saw him so differently.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So. Yeah, man, man, you know, my dad, he moved in a certain way, you know, it like. And I used to always think he was just being extra, but when we did my mother's funeral, we had the repass and my dad was in the city the whole day. So he hit me like, son, I'm pull up, I'm gonna pull up, I'm gonna pull up. But he, he didn't, he didn't show up the whole funeral. And then the whole repass happened. He ain't show up either. So I'm like late again, you know what I'm saying? But he pulled up like at the last possible second at the repass, and he came straight to me. And instead of my, instead of my family in South Carolina treat him like a regular person here for the funeral, they all went, mobbed him like you Justin Bieber or something.

Phones out, yeah.

And I'm at like, I, I, there's a lot of my family that did that. I don't day, you know what I'm saying? Cuz it's like, man, we just put my mom in the ground.

So when I seen that, I said, oh, wow, now you understood. This is why he, this is why he be moving in this type of manner, cuz. It's like he ain't want to even make it about him. He just wanted to be there for me, you know what I'm saying?

How did, did you talk to any of your family about that? You just was like, you know what? Action, speak up.

I don't want to talk. Yeah, I don't want to talk. They, they, they, they, they, they showed their ass with that one.

[Angela Yee]

And he was dealing with cancer at.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That time, so I went in, I ain't looking back at the pictures. It's like, yeah, he probably was, but I ain't even know I had no idea. Like, I ain't. I ain't never seen my daddy with an ailment or nothing. So when it came to that situation, it was. It shocked everybody. It definitely shocked me. I. I ain't. I ain't never seen my daddy sick or nothing.

So you found out, like, the rest of the world.

Damn. There, like, down there, like, I knew. I knew he was battling with it, but I didn't know how bad it was.

Did you get a chance to, like.

Yeah.

Say your goodbyes and everything?

Yeah, man. I spent the last. Down there, like, the last week together. You know, I was up there with him, and we was just. Just talking and laughing and listening to music, and, you know, I ain't. I ain't really wanted one to see me sad or nothing like that. So I was just like, we, you know, we gonna vibe out, me and my little brother. Brother, my little sister. We always there.

You know, you don't got to answer this if you don't want to, but what was your perspective like, knowing that you had just lost your mom earlier this year and now you spending your last moments with your pops? Did you even look at it as last moments?

Yeah. Yeah, I knew why I was there, you know, But.

I don't know, man, that. I think that was just in my mind. I'm like, man, this is what's going on in my life right now. Like. Like this was going on. I definitely can't question God, you know, but I' ma just take this. I'm gonna really take this time and cherish it. You know what I'm saying? And, you know, I'm gonna. I'm gonna wipe my face up when I start crying because I don't want him to start crying. And, you know, me and hell, we in. We listening to his music. We listening to Earth, Winter, Fire, you know? Like, yeah, it looked at me one time. He looked at me. He, like. He looking at me like, damn, son, I see where you at in life. Like, you. I remember when I was your age, I was. I was just getting ready to drop my second album, and I just. Seeing all the pressure that was on me. I was like, I'm looking at you, and, like, I see. You know what I'm saying? So I don't know. I was just being there, being in that moment.

[DJ Envy]

And you have your song Dove Soar, that is a dedication to your mom and your dad. At what point did you start writing that song? Like, after your mom passed away? Like, when were you okay enough to try and put things in music and further with your.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So it's crazy. I was in the studio making that song probably about two days before I got the call about my daddy. So when I was making. Originally making the song, it wasn't even about. It wasn't even about my. My dad is really about my mama, the first part. But I was getting writer's block on it, so I did that. Probably two days later, I got the call. Like, you need to clean. Like, docs like, you get your ass up here. So I went up to New York, did that, and then came back to Atlanta. I was working on it, but I couldn't. I couldn't really come up with the words. So after we did the funeral, and I can't. I came back, like, probably the night before. I flew out to come back home after the funeral. I finally, like, broke the writer's blocking, was able to finish the song. So. Yeah, man, I don't really work on that song for the last month. For real.

[DJ Envy]

And you said on your song you say, I know. God had a chuckle when I told him I planned.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, man.

[DJ Envy]

What were your original plans?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Definitely, definitely wasn't going to two friends this year, right? But nah. So my mama passed the morning after my birthday, February 28th. You know, she had a show on my birthday. And, you know, for the last year or two, I've been opening up for my mom on the show. So I usually go with her just to make sure she good, first of all, you know. But.

For some reason, she just didn't want me to come to this one, you know.

She told you that?

Yeah, no, like, right before she left, she like, son, you got your own career. You getting ready to do your rollout. You don't need to come to this, you know, Just stay home. And I'm like, mom, you sure? And she like, no, I'm positive. But she made me come to all the rehearsals for the show. But the day before, she like, no, I don't want you to come. Come. And, you know, at the time in March.

My PR right here tell you, like, I had a whole album done, roll out, got my little budget together, and I was getting ready to do that. And then the morning after, everything changed. So that's where that lyric come from. Like, I had a plan, but God had something different. Like, n. What you thinking? It ain't even about to be that.

Brother, Cuz you'd have been on. You'd have been on the bus with her. Yeah, man. Yeah.

Yeah, man.

What's one conversation with your. With your dad and, mom, that changed your direction in life. Not even just musical, just as a.

Man, man, my dad. My. My. My dad said me one day, he's like, son, you got to choose your peace over everything. You know, I think it was a point in my life where I was just being pulled in so many different ways. And, you know, it was. It was. It was draining me. Like, you know, my mama been dealing with, you know, her health, and I. I've been essentially like, a caretaker for her for the last four or five years. You know, people didn't know that, and, you know, she did a good job of hiding it, but, you know, there's a lot of serious situations, and, you know, I had to, you know, sacrifice a lot, you know, and I'll do it again, you know, because that's my mama. I know she'll do it for me, but, you know.

Yeah, I was just talking to my dad, and he was like, man, you know, you. You do what you do for your mom, but all the rest of that, man, you gotta choose your piece over everything. And I really started implementing that, and it helped me a lot.

Ten years from now, what do you want people to say about you that has nothing to do with your.

I just want people to say that I was a genuine guy or I helped them some type of way or. You know, a lot of people been hitting me, like, throughout this process. Like, man, I don't know how you doing it. And I'm like, man, I ain't. I ain't doing nothing but a whole lot of crying and praying. Like, if. You know, if I could be a. If you can look at me and. And think you can get through because I'm getting through, then you know what I'm saying, man, that's fine.

[Angela Yee]

All right, there you have it. It's Suevo Twain.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sway with me.

[Angela Yee]

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight face.

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody, details.

[DJ Envy]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on the biggest. The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

So Howard Stern had to address some accusations that Kim Kardashian made last week on episode seven of their reality show. So when did that come on Hulu? They have a big partnership with Hulu so Kim K. Was on the show when she was talking about her 2016 parish robbery when she was robbed in her hotel room for all the jewelry. And she alleges that Howard Stern basically didn't believe her and made a whole mockery of it on. On his show. Let's take a listen to Kim K. Talking about Howard Stern.

[Mimi Brown]

Howard Stern was, like, famously mocking it all the time and saying that it.

[DJ Envy]

Was just, I'm sick and it's such a joke.

[Mimi Brown]

And I made it all up.

[DJ Envy]

I remember he was so defiant about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, yes.

[DJ Envy]

Ok, so. So she said this, and she's also said something similar around Kanye west as well, too. But so she said this, and then Howard Stern said, oh, no, we're not gonna let that fly. Not at all, because that is not what I said. So he responds with his original comments because, you know, his show is recorded. He responds with his original comments. Let's take a listen to the original comments.

[Ryan Serhant]

If this woman was robbed at gunpoint by a bunch of dudes and they threw her in a bathtub and tied her up or whatever they did, I mean, that is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is frightening.

[Ryan Serhant]

If it is a farce game, really, they should go to jail for that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I don't. I don't think it is, but, you.

[Angela Yee]

Know, there were no security cameras in.

[DJ Envy]

The area, so there's no footage of.

[Angela Yee]

Of what went on the one time.

[Ryan Serhant]

The Kardashians don't have a camera. Something interesting.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, it's something really going on. Something real.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

First of all, we live in an era where you should question everything you hear, especially because of. And everything you see nowadays because of the era that we live in. And she's a reality show star, so why wouldn't you think everything is a storyline?

[Angela Yee]

When she said mockery, I thought I was going to hear him be like, oh, I thought it was going to be something. He basically said. He literally, if it happens, it's frightening. I feel sorry for it. But he was like, something doesn't sound right. What's wrong with saying he didn't say that either, but he said something.

[DJ Envy]

God damn, Robin said, I don't think it's, you know, I don't think it's untrue. And he said, I don't either. He literally said, yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He said, if it happened, it's tragic. If it was a farce. And.

[DJ Envy]

And let's just to be clear, because in another episode of the Kardashians, she brought up her ex. She doesn't say Kanye west, but during that time, she was with Kanye. And she says that even her ex accused her of faking the robbery for a TV show show around that time. People did believe that Kim had faked the robbery for the show because they thought that it was very ironic that there were no cameras with her and that there was no security with her, knowing that she had all this jewelry in the room and, you know, all the things that people knew she would.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Be security had dropped her off and made sure she was in her room.

[DJ Envy]

So her security made sure she was in her room and then went out with her sisters and. Which wasn't unnormal for them because the security guard would secure the whole family. But people were just saying, right? So. Yes, but people were people at that time. And a lot of outlets. It wasn't just Howard Stern. A lot of outlets were just trying to put the pieces together and saying how far fetched this was. And they didn't believe her. Some people didn't believe her. But Howard Stern comes back in on his show and basically says, if I had something to say, I've said a lot of crazy things. I get to it. Let's take a listen to Howard Stern.

[Ryan Serhant]

On the latest episode of the Kim Kardashian Show. She accused me of saying that she faked her Paris robbery attempt. And she's very emotional about it, fortunately, anyway, in this case, our show is tapes. So we went back and looked up what I said, and nothing could be further from the truth. Now tell me if I'm wrong. I would characterize that discussion as a very fair assessment that some people are saying it's fake, which was true. And we said, we don't think it's fake. We think that she was. She went through something horrible. Some guys came into our room and threw her in a bathtub and pointed a gun at her. And I said, that's really frightening, by the way. Let me say something. I have said so many awful things in my career. You don't need to make up stuff.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And also, the fact that she put words. Words in Howard's mouth. Crazy for tv. Is exactly why Howard thought that the robbery was probably a storyline as well.

[DJ Envy]

Now, y' all see where I was getting with bringing this in? Because of all the people that you're gonna say said something, Howard Stern is not the one at all. He gonna clear it up instantly or repeat what he said. So, you know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But yeah, that's not what I was saying. I was saying the fact that she put words in Howard Stern's mouth for TV is exactly why Howard thought That the robbery was for TV as well.

[DJ Envy]

We understand everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She creates stories, storyline, right?

[DJ Envy]

Yes. Right.

[Angela Yee]

And then all them people who did.

[DJ Envy]

Say it was fake, like publicly, and.

[Angela Yee]

That you didn't go at them, but.

[DJ Envy]

You went at Howard Stern, who didn't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Say it was fake, but it was.

[DJ Envy]

A lot of people that did. Well, by the way, Just asking questions.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Too, by the way, Kim did that for exactly this. I'm gonna use Howard as a storyline because I know how. We're gonna go back and talk about it. It'll become a talking piece on other shows. Because I had to ask you, what, What, what, what is that? What does the show even come on?

[Angela Yee]

Come on. Yeah, I didn't know the show was still on.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, it's still on.

[Ryan Serhant]

Over.

[DJ Envy]

It used to come on Bravo, right? No, they were on E. They had that big relationship with Ryan Seacrest on E. But yeah. So speaking of other things in the news that might be real, might not be. Joe Tekapena, Wendy Williams, attorney, was on Nightline, and he's saying that she'll be out of her guardianship potentially this year, which is like, we only have weeks left of this year. Let's take a listen to Joe.

[Ryan Serhant]

What's the plan?

[Angela Yee]

You have to get her out of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The guardianship, and when can we expect.

[Ryan Serhant]

Some movement in court? The plan is this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There are guardianship attorneys, and we're working, watching and waiting.

They've assured Wendy by year's end, she'll.

Be out of guardianship. No, guardianship should feel like a sentence.

And honestly, Wendy's does. Wendy's feels like a sentence.

[Ryan Serhant]

She said it was $18,000 a month. She was paying this Approximately.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Imagine, just imagine of her money. Not the state's money, her money.

[Angela Yee]

But if she does get free of this, is there still going to be somebody that's watching over her to make sure that everything is quote, unquote?

[DJ Envy]

Okay, so from what I was told once I saw this, because that's a pretty tight timeline to, you know, say. I was told that if that even happens this year, and it probably won't. Yes. It would just be a limited guardianship. So there would be somebody with her to still figure out certain things, like financial decisions, you know, she also has, like, she's openly talked about dealing with substance abuse. Right. So someone checking in on her when it comes to that, she'll be able to come and go, like we've seen her do, you know, more recently. But there will be somebody there. But from, you know, the way that they're angling this is that she's going to be 100% free. And I was told that that is not what it's going to be.

[Angela Yee]

What would be dope is, is if, you know, when she was coming up, Charlemagne lived in her basement.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Charlamagne kind of returns the favor and allows her to live in his basement.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, he got a nice. He probably got a real nice place.

You better put Wendy in no basement.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't even have a basement.

I know.

[Tricia Lee]

That's all right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You have an attic. Nope.

[DJ Envy]

You don't got no space for Wendy. I'm talking about a guest room.

[Ryan Serhant]

Yes, you did.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who want a trailer?

[Angela Yee]

Who you look like.

[Ryan Serhant]

No.

[Angela Yee]

No, you don't.

[DJ Envy]

Lying real and fake, Matt Barnes decided to clear up again some rumors about him paying a AI model $61,000 for it because she was trying to extort him. Allegedly. Let's take a listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've sat back dealing with personal real family healing and making sure my kids.

[Angela Yee]

Are good and just trying to get.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My life back in order while I sat back and watched the al Internet lie about me the whole year. Lie for me being gay to me talking to an abortion to me telling some girl not to do a reality show. And then I get back from Dubai and I get back and I see all of a sudden I'm suing an AI model or I got played by AI models and all these little bottom feeding blogs pick it up, shout out to the ones that are real and know the from the or at least check you guys believe that I got played by AI model. I'm soon him. You see someone like Gilbert. And I had a conversation with Gilbert. He addressed the and and it kind of was it from there it caught fire. And I told him, bro, like, after all we've been through, bro, tap in with me and see if it's real. And he said he apologized. He didn't know it was that deep. But y' all can't believe everything you hear.

[DJ Envy]

So he didn't get got by a model. He did. It was just a girl from Instagram. You were about to say something. I'll explain to us.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know what none of these stories are, but it's just because Matt Barnes is hot. You know what I'm saying? All the smoke podcast is hot. Like, I was watching the fight this weekend, Lamont Roach versus Isaac Cruz. And they had the all the smoke logo in the ring. They absolutely. It is what it is. Cam and M. They had their logo in the ring too. But all the smokers is a hot podcast. And when you a hot podcast, people are going to use you for content. That's just the way it is. So. So Matt should take that as a compliment that all of these rumors and all this gossip has been about been spreading about him all year.

[DJ Envy]

I think the only issue is that it affects his, like, family unit because he was saying so there was a real girl that him and his ex, they had, like, took a little break from each other. He was DMing with her. He posted a video about this back in November. He ended up paying that girl because when he got back with his ex who was pregnant at the time, and he told her, she said, I'm going to release these text messages. So he paid her because he didn't want it to come out because it was a high risk pregnancy and because of how hot things are with him now, everybody picks up his stuff.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

So he was trying to, you know, clean it up and it just took its own life from there. But the girl is a real girl. He's said that multiple times. That's why he's like, just ask me the facts, y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

[DJ Envy]

I'll tell y' all what's going on. Because he does address a lot of his own stuff.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now you got a positive. Nope. I do, man. I want to remind people that there are 22 days left in the year. 22 days left in the year, okay? And I want to remind you all of what this year was. 2025 is the year of the snake in this. In the Chinese zodiac. What does that mean? Well, it calls on you to shed anything that no longer supports your well being, including those snakes in the grass in your life. Okay? You were supposed to move with purpose this year, not pressure. Pressure, okay? You should transform quietly yet powerfully. You're supposed to act with intention this year and respond with precision. And you're supposed to let your growth speak louder than revenge ever could. So you got 22 days, all right? You got 22 days to acknowledge that you know, this is the year of the snake. And I also want y' all to know that this, this year of the snake met the universal year nine. Okay? Nine is the highest level of change. So it's a perfect alignment for growth. All right? Release the baggage you've carried for too long. Move with intention and evolution. Be the ultimate flex. You got 22 days, okay? 22 days to acknowledge that and lean into that power. And we'll see you in 2026. Not saying it's our last day. I'm just letting you know that, you know, 2026 is right around the corner. Breakfast Club finish or y' all done?

Wake you up.

[Angela Yee]

Wake that ass up.
