[DJ Envy]

Yes. No, I see. Where else? Ohio. But now they're saying it's supposed to be hitting New York, New Jersey today. So they're saying the snowstorm. I think New Jersey has a state of emergency, so flights are delayed. So if you're traveling in and out or around the east coast or Midwest, they're saying watch your flights because it might be delayed. You might have a hard time getting in or touching down. Geez.

[Angela Yee]

[Angela Yee]

Did y' all still watch it? No, I was so tired. I did not. It came out at midnight, y'.

[Guest/Analyst]

All.

[DJ Envy]

No, it was supposed to come out at midnight, but it came out 3am Eastern time, which was midnight on the west coast, so.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, yeah, I definitely didn't see it. I plan to watch it today.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was in my bed. Are you crazy?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I waited till about 12:30. 12:15. I said, Nah. After the Giants got. Oh, my gosh.

[Angela Yee]

Yo, listen, I was taking a nap so bad, man. No, yo, I was asleep, and then I woke up, and Chris was watching it. So I was, like, 70. 30 in the third quarter. Like, y' all was down 23. No, no, y' all was down 23 points in the third quarter, yo. No, it was 7:30. It was 7 to 30. Well, 30 to 7 the third. Whatever.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They were down.

[Angela Yee]

They were in the third quarter.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, it was. The Patriots had 30. They had 7.

[Angela Yee]

And y' all had 7.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, they was crazy.

[DJ Envy]

That's crazy. It was. It was disrespectful.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Seriously. Did you expect Otherwise, we beat the.

[DJ Envy]

Eagles one time, so. I didn't know. You never know sometimes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Start the show.

[DJ Envy]

All right, let's get the show cracking. When we come back, we got front page news. Mimi will be breaking everything down, and then you can get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Start off the show with nothing. Faster. Envy, you start off with residuals. You that depressed if the Giants got their ass kicked last night?

[DJ Envy]

Well, first of all, I don't pick the music on the show. And second, you gotta make up your.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Mind whether or not you pick the music on the show. I don't pick the music.

[DJ Envy]

No, I don't. I never say I pick the music on the show. I always say I don't pick the music on the show because I don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're a lie.

[DJ Envy]

Now, sometimes we do an audible and we just put records in, but we don't pick the music on the show.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I just want Chris Brown to know, if he ain't getting the residuals yet, he ain't getting them nothing. I don't care how many times he played a song every hour.

[DJ Envy]

Let's get in some front page news, y'.

[Guest/Analyst]

All.

[DJ Envy]

Now start off with sports.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

The Giants got spanked last night. Our record is 2 and 11, and we should just keep losing. Let's just try to get the number one pick. I don't even know who the number one pick's gonna be this year, but it's just disgusting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't wish that on nobody. Why would you want somebody to have to come play for the Giants? Don't wish that on.

[DJ Envy]

That could be a good thing. If all our guys are healthy dog and running back and neighbors, we'll be all right next year.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sure. Okay.

[DJ Envy]

We sound like you every year. You gonna make it to the Super Bowl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

First of all. First of all, my team is six and five and one, sir. All right.

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My team beat the last two teams that was in the super bowl, sir. Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my goodness.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So if you do math, that means that we going to the super bowl this year.

[DJ Envy]

Help, Mimi, help.

[Mimi Brown]

I'm coming, Envy. Good morning, y'.

[DJ Envy]

All.

[Mimi Brown]

How y' all doing this morning?

[Guest/Analyst]

Good.

[Angela Yee]

Good morning.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning. Okay, so we start this morning at the Pentagon, where the fallout from that deadly boat strike in the Caribbean, it is still escalating. And we told you about this yesterday. The US they carried out two strikes on a suspected drug smuggling boat. And on the second one, that strike had killed survivors who had already been thrown into the water after that first blast. And today the White House, though, they are shifting blame. Over the weekend, the Washington Report, the Washington Post, they reported that Secretary Pete Hadsett, he allegedly told an elite unit to kill everyone on that boat, a claim that's already sparked calls for an investigation. But now the administration says the key decision did not come from Hegseth at all. They say it came from Admiral Frank Bradley. He is the head of Special Operations Command. He was in charge of the mission. And during a press briefing yesterday, Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, she is defending Hexeth, and she put the responsibility squarely on Bradley. Let's listen to that exchange.

[Commercial Announcer]

On September 2, Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. Admiral Bradley worked well within his authority and the law directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated.

[DJ Envy]

To clarify, Admiral Bradley was the one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who gave that order for a second.

[Commercial Announcer]

Strike, and he was well within his authority to do so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was the initial order from Secretary Hegseth.

[Commercial Announcer]

Everyone be killed, and did that come from President Trump?

[Guest/Analyst]

Ms.

[Commercial Announcer]

I saw that quoted in a Washington Post story. I would reject that the Secretary of war ever said that. However, the president has made it quite clear that if narco terrorists again are trafficking illegal drugs towards the United States, he has the authority to kill them. And that's what this administration is doing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn.

[Guest/Analyst]

Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm so confused by all of this. I mean, I'm all for keeping drugs and, you know, drug dealers out of the country, but what happened in due process, not to mention, where is the proof that there's actually drugs on this boat?

[DJ Envy]

Exactly what I was just going to say. That. Doesn't that seem like a little bit of too much force for, for drugs?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, just kill them.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that seems like. And these missiles, what, a $250,000. A missile? You send a $250,000 missile on a boat. That just seems like a lot. That seems like overshooting, in my opinion. But I don't know. Who am I?

[Mimi Brown]

Well, to your point, Republican Senator Rand Paul, he is also weighing in, calling the strikes deeply troubling and saying that American people, they deserve full transparency. Let's listen to what he had to say about this.

[DJ Envy]

You know, when you kill someone, you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Should know if you're not in at war, not in a declared war, you.

[DJ Envy]

Really need to know someone's name.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

At least you have to Accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without us knowing their name.

[DJ Envy]

Without any evidence of a crime.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And for decades, if not centuries, when.

[DJ Envy]

You stop people at sea, in international.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Waters or in your own waters, you.

[DJ Envy]

Announce that you're going to board the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ship and you're looking for contraband, smuggling or drugs. The other thing about these speedboats is they're. They're 2,000 miles away from us. If they have drugs, they're probably peddling.

[DJ Envy]

Drugs to one of the islands of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Trinidad or Tobago off of Venezuela. The. The idea that they're coming here is like, it's a huge assumption.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that sounds crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's all I'm saying. We just need some transparency made. Let's make sure you unalive in the right. The right individuals. If then, by the way, you shouldn't be unaliving them. Like, it should be some due process.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, yes. Not enough, I see. I don't think. Not for drugs. Like you said, you could pull a boat over, you can go in there, you can confiscate the drugs, you can put them in jail, but you're shooting missiles at.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because it's a slippery slope. Right. If that's the mindset you know now, how. How do you know that mindset won't start. Be starting. Start to be implemented here in America? You just started unaliving drug dealers.

[Mimi Brown]

Exactly. Well, the Pentagon, they aren't offering any new details on this, but pressure is growing. Members of Congress, they are pushing for a full investigation, saying this incident, it is raising serious and legal and ethical questions about how the administration is carrying out its expanded campaign against alleged drug traffickers at sea. So I'm sure this is not going away anytime soon, so we will continue to follow that. And coming up at 7, a major change to the way that you will be traveling. It's going to cost you more money. We'll tell you what you need to bring to the airport so that you can avoid a new fee.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't mind that, though, but we'll talk about it next hour.

[DJ Envy]

All right? Okay, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone line lines are wide open. 800-585-1051. And they said the cost of a single missile used in the recent US military boat strikes is about $150,000 for a Hellfire missile. So each missile that they shoot is $150,000. Jesus Christ. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is your time to get it off your chest Whether you're mad or.

[DJ Envy]

Blessed I hate the way that you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Walk the way that you talk I hate the way that you dress Everything with me is blessed. Call up next.

[DJ Envy]

800-585-1051.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not just me, I'm with the culture feeling.

[DJ Envy]

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yes.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah. I gave my daughter the ticket. She was going to the mom. I tried to get to him, but he, you know, I. I've been in the VIP section. I said, hey, you've been in the building, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, I said, okay, then be happy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely. So I said, thank you for coming up.

[Caller/Listener]

No, yeah. No, hey, I didn't know you was coming. She told me and then I was like, okay, I'm gonna get a ticket.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I.

[Caller/Listener]

But like, I said, that happened and threw my whole Thanksgiving over. But what I really want to get off my chest too is, you know, you killing these people in Venezuela. You don't know who these people are. They don't know who them people is. Some people ain't no drug dealers. Them people probably fishermen, people trying to make a living. And I can't wait till they find out what the deal is because I'm gonna tell you, the Hague, the Hag ain't got no power pounds. You forget that. And listen, when we've been trying to get Jack Smith on board, I wish that he'll go right back and get Jack because you know, Jack Smith are running the hay. Boy, we're still going right back and get Jack Smith. He'll be waiting on them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You said run the. What are you saying?

[Caller/Listener]

The Hag, the Hague, the H A D U man hate international law.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I thought you talking about the hat. I thought you talking about you want the Hag to go ride them or something. I was like, what did you say?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, hey, don't. Don't do that. Don't follow him up the Hag.

[Commercial Announcer]

Now you.

[Caller/Listener]

You know that's a gala. You know that's the G. Now don't act like you can't get the G. All right, Love you.

[Angela Yee]

Love you too.

[DJ Envy]

Jesus. All right. Hello. Who's this?

[Caller/Listener]

Irritated Uber driver.

[DJ Envy]

Irritated Uber driver.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

What's up, mama? You know, if you.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay, listen, I'm an Uber driver in the city of Detroit. I start about 3 o' clock in the morning and I end about 5 in the afternoon. I'm tired of these people coming in there smelling like Chitlins and everything else. Rotten meat. And then get mad when I'm riding down the road with the window down. I can't take it. Then they tell me, oh, they feel sorry for me because I can't do nothing else. I said, no, baby, don't feel sorry for me. I just got laid off from my job because I pissed the right person off.

[Angela Yee]

They in your car, being your passenger, and they telling you that they feel sorry for you cause you driving for Uber.

[Caller/Listener]

They're telling me they feel sorry for me because I'm driving for Uber. And they asked me, why am I driving for Uber? I said, because I'm a construction worker in the city of Detroit. And I pissed off a contractor and checked him about putting dirty dirt in the city of Detroit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So I'm glad you did that. I don't understand why people disrespect a service that they're actually.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, I don't get it. You should ask them why they don't have a car. Why are you right? Why you have to catch Uber?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, you got a call, ma'. Am.

[DJ Envy]

Ma', am, ma', am, what's dirty dirt?

[Caller/Listener]

Dirty dirt is toxic dirt. I worked for this company in Detroit called Gyanga, and they were responsible for tearing down the abandoned houses in the city of Detroit. And the owner, Brian McKinney, took toxic dirt from the landfill and filled over 1500 properties. So I turned them in.

[Angela Yee]

Damn.

[Caller/Listener]

And so people think it's like Flint.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Waters, you should say, allegedly.

[Caller/Listener]

No, no, he did. Because I. I was a whistleblower.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I don't know if he did it. Not. But, you know, but.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay, well, allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. He. He. He put in dirty dirt and 1500 properties.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

And I got fired for letting this. The proper people know about it. So that's why I'm doing Uber. I stood up for something that I. That I felt was wrong, and I said something, and I'm an Uber driver. That's what I'm doing. But I'm tired of these people coming here, stanking in my car. Put on some deodorant. Stop smelling like chitlins and rotten eggs.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn. Damn.

[Caller/Listener]

I have sampled deodorant, perfumes, colognes, in my car. And it's a hint if you stank, you forgot it. Put some on.

[Angela Yee]

Maybe you riding in the wrong parts. You gotta go to the other parts of Detroit, get the people that don't stink.

[Caller/Listener]

Man, I. I go in West Bloomfield, Rochester Hills, and they still stank.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sorry, mama. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And I'm sorry that people are still eating chitlins. When I was home last week in South Carolina, I had like two or three people, you know, offer me chitlins. I'm like, wow, who still eat chitlins in 2025?

[Angela Yee]

Yo, it's nothing wrong with pig feet. Chitlins, ham hocks, hog moms. Like, it's nothing wrong with that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't eat pork, period. But I'm definitely not eating no pig guts. That's crazy.

[Angela Yee]

That is so crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm geeked up. Looking for eater in Atlanta.

[DJ Envy]

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got the latest with Lauren coming up. Is Lauren there?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ignore them, Lauren.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, all the way in Atlanta. Getting on my nerves. They know what you say up. Yes, we do have the latest with Lauren coming up. The Diddy documentary dropped at 3am this morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know you said you watched that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I tried to stay up. I started the first episode. I fell asleep. I just finished the first and I'm almost finished the second. So we will talk about it in the first hour and get into it in the beginning. The beginning of it so far.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You are committed, Laura.

[Angela Yee]

Yes, she is.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I tried, y'.

[Guest/Analyst]

All.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I really did.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, we get into that. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Breakfast Club.

[Angela Yee]

Lauren becoming respect.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She gets the details.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on this.

[Guest/Analyst]

The Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sometimes we have sex. Sometimes she have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[Angela Yee]

Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, y'.

[Guest/Analyst]

All.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So the diddy doc. Can you hear me, Envy?

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, I couldn't hear myself. Okay, so the diddy doc is now out on Netflix, so try to watch as much of it as I could. I got to about episode two, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think came out three in the morning. You was up at three in the morning.

[Angela Yee]

That's crazy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And calling people too, because a lot of. There's a lot of claims in here that I just before we talked about, I wanted to make sure I talked to the people themselves.

[Angela Yee]

That's right, Lauren.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Do the damn good. So let's get into it all right now, in the first episode, a lot of it is, like, old, like, hip hop war stories, honestly, providing, like, this foundation of, like, Diddy and all the things. But one of the parts that I. I thought was interest when they talk about Diddy's upbringing and they're trying to paint the picture of, like, why Diddy is probably this, like, monster that everybody's trying to make him out to be. Let's take a listen to number four, Sean's household.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You start to see all the stuff that you saw in the movies. Janice knew how to throw a party, and the party's packed. You got ladies that look like they're straight out of a Jet magazine. Some brothers up there. You know, if you want to call them pimp, you can. If you want to call them hustlers, you can. You got a member of the New York Knicks. There was a stage in her living room, and that's where we used to have to go and dance. And everybody's calling you baby, and everybody's saying, do that dance. And all of this stuff he's taken in. So from the movie screen to the home screen, these are the makings of Sean Combs. Now, mind you, as a child, Sean was goofy. Kids would pick on him a lot around the block, and he didn't know how to defend himself. Sean was a prince. And Janice, she didn't want no princess.

[DJ Envy]

Who is that from? Hussein?

[Guest/Analyst]

That.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sean was a princess. It wasn't no princess, man. Get the princess kind of now, just a little bit. I bet you 50 would stay as a princess. Who was that crazy?

[Lauren LaRosa]

That was one of his old, old friends, Tim Dog Patterson.

[Guest/Analyst]

Damn.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Who says that? You know, he grew up with Diddy and, you know, was around for a lot of the earlier makings of things. He's featured a lot throughout the documentary as well. But in another part of the documentary, they talk about. Well, so they. They go from old stuff to, like, this new footage. The new footage is honestly the good stuff. So there's a part of the documentary where Diddy and Groovy Lou are talking about the fact that the legal system is out to get Diddy. Let's take a listen to that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Take the blood, man. What the hell?

[Guest/Analyst]

Showing up just to watch a silly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just silly bull noise. No sense noise. But it's like the legal system is doing it now because, like, legally we gotta. It's like, now I gotta spend money to go and get rid of this.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ain't got nothing left. Got nothing left going on. They Ain't breaking me, though. That was Diddy's off.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So that was Diddy, and that was Groovy Lou. For those who don't know, Groovy is Diddy's like, stylist, creative director who's working with him for decades. And basically, what you're watching is them standing outside of the hotel that Diddy was staying in before he was arrested. This is literally, like, days leading into the arrest. And Diddy's like, I don't care what's happening. I'm not giving up. I'm not gonna fight. To me, watching the new videos that are in. In this, I really don't think that Diddy was registering that he wasn't about to beat. At least he. I feel like he thought he was gonna walk away from this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wonder what Diddy holds himself accountable for. Like. Like, I can't wait till somebody can sit down and have a conversation with him and we actually hear what he holds himself accountable for. Because even listening to right there, it's like, yo, the legal system can't get you if you don't give them nothing to get.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I haven't seen accountability yet in this. There's actually another clip speaking of that, where Diddy is. This is six days out from his arrest, and he's in the hotel room with his son and Groovy Lou, and he's talking about the fact that he rode by a bad boy building and was knocked down. And this is the message he took from that. Let's take a listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Whole lot of crazy going on. You know, I'm waiting.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I still didn't knock the bad boy building down.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, that was crazy to me that that wasn't there, which is a sign to me, like, time for the future. That was a little building I got ready. You know what I'm saying? It was a sign for me like that, but I'm saying that was there, like, two months ago. Right? I'm not tripping.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, it was.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So he rides by and he doesn't see it there. He's like, you know what? This is God telling me, like, something new is coming. Mind you, this is six days out from the arrest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That bad boy hasn't been closed.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He said that he saw it two months before that, but I'm saying it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hadn'T been bad boys offices or anything.

[DJ Envy]

No, they just knocked it down.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They knocked it down.

[DJ Envy]

They just knocked it down. Oh, we pass it every day.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but they knocked it down.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, another interesting part of this docu series in the first episode was finding out some information about Misa Hilton that she hasn't even gotten a chance to speak on herself. And I did talk to Misa about this before we talk about this because it's very personal to her. So in this documentary, Eric Sermon talks about Diddy allegedly beating on Misa Hilton during their relationship. Let's take a listen to number two.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought it was a general friendship until I see that this game is being played. You got an agenda. Misa, he was trying to court her after we broke up. Sean wants her because Eric was that dude it was about I got her, I won her over from him.

[DJ Envy]

He had to have the girl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And Sean has a way about when he gets you. He got you and now you become property.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Me and Misael the holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year, filled with joy and laughter, a little bit of the festive chaos we all secretly love. From long shopping lists to travel plans to family dinners, it's a lot happening all at once. But this season, Coca Cola wants to remind everyone that the magic isn't in the hustle and bustle. It's finding joy in the little moments, like laughing over old memories, playing holiday games, or taking that first sip of an ice cold Coca Cola that cuts through all the holiday frenzy and brings the cool comfort to your soul. Because that's the good stuff. The joy hiding in plain sight, the sound of laughter mixing with the clink of glasses, the calm between the songs and the stories. And when things start to feel like they're doing the most, that crisp, delicious taste of Coca Cola can be the reset everyone needs. Just a little reminder that the season isn't about rushing, it's about refreshing. So wherever the holidays take you, slow down, take a breath and savor the moment. Enjoy a Coca Cola refresh your holidays.

Amazon Five Star Theater presents real customer reviews performed by Ed Helms. Tonight's review Tactical Jacket I was living a simple life. Didn't get out much then I bought this jacket and everything changed. Women came flocking to me from lands domestic and foreign. I bought a motorcycle, started hanging out with drug dealers, but like rich ones and we flew helicopters. I ended up taking down a communist regime with a band of rebels. On the 245 day sailboat voyage home, I was attacked by a shark. I knew it was the jacket he was after. I tossed it, giving up the jacket in exchange for my life. I'm alive today, but jacketless.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just friends, but he wanted to make sure that there was no calling.

[Guest/Analyst]

And me being friends with that girl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sean's jealousy, it got to the point where he would put his hands on her right outside of Uptown Records.

[Guest/Analyst]

They're fighting in the street and he's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Beating her into the car. Well, she's on the ground and people are pulling him off of her and separating her. A year or two later, they're still together and Justin is born.

[DJ Envy]

Now that was two voices. So I know Eric Sermon was in the beginning. Who was the one that was.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Let me clear it up. So Eric Sermon of EPMD is the one that's having a conversation about him and Misa being friends. But Puff thought it was a bit more than that. Now the second voice is Kirk Burrows, and Kirk Burrows is the person that alleged that he saw this, this like fight situation between Misa and Puff. And Misa, that's she. That's not even a conversation she wants to have. She says that right now, you know, she's moved on from all of this. Like she says it's so disappointing that she was brought up in the way that she was in this docu series. Number one, she says that they did reach out to her to be a part of it and she declined. And she just doesn't understand why they're bringing all this up now because it attaches to her. Like she's doing businesses, she has non profits that she's working on and these type of conversations and stories because of how big the news case is with Diddy attached to her and what she's trying to do. And she just like, why, like why did I get brought into this? I have nothing to do with you guys issues.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I agree with that. Salute to Kirk Burroughs. Nothing but respect for that brother. I don't know him personally.

[DJ Envy]

Well, if you don't. Well, he's one of the, they say, co founders of Bad Boy. He was the one that helped Diddy star Bad Boy. For people that don't know, just know the name. He's the one of the co founders of Bad Boy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But why didn't you tell that story earlier in your life, earlier in your career? You probably could have stopped others from experiencing future abuse. Like you should have told that story years ago, Kirk, like telling that story now. What's the point? Like, it's just hard to watch. Watch people who benefited off Puff and didn't speak on his dysfunction, you know, back then having the courage, and I put courage in air quotes to speak on it now.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. And she also says too that a lot of the record, Misa says a lot of the way that these things are being told are just not true. Like chronologically they're not true. And then also like the under the car thing, she says there were things that did happen but that did not happen. So it's like a pile on of things that are just, you know, the family is experiencing right now that they just don't need.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just don't know why you wouldn't tell that story earlier. Once again, you could have probably stopped future abuse if you would have intervened and said something about it decades ago.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, even. Even with the, the Eric sermon situation. And I know Eric Sermon, and he's produced stuff on my album for years. But, like, what sense does you saying you dated Misa, and then when y' all broke up, puffed all the date.

[Angela Yee]

Like y' all already had broke up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He said it.

[Angela Yee]

Like, conversations, like, he. Like, he took your girl, but y' all were broken up.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And the way that the DOC Is set up in this part around it, they're trying to paint the whole, like, when Diddy wants something, there's no stopping him from the girl to the career to whatever. But she said that they were just friend now. Friends. Now, I do have the part of.

[Angela Yee]

Me tell you that, though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I do have the. The audio of Eric Sermon talking about Diddy swinging on him over Misa. Allegedly. Let's take a listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, after all this time, me and Misa are still cool. We was just friends. But one time, she just happened to be in my driver's seat of my truck. And all of a sudden, I heard somebody go.

[Guest/Analyst]

And it's him. He's steaming.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He swings on me. So I'm laughing. Cause I'm like, he swung on me. You putting yourself in jeopardy knowing you.

[Guest/Analyst]

Can'T whoop none of us.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So now I'm like, yo, let's go around the corner. Because I'm respectful enough.

[Guest/Analyst]

Up.

So he actually gets in the car.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And we drive around the corner. So I'm about to give him the business. Could have got really ugly. And he just said, yo, sit down. I want you to hear something real quick. And that's when he put him in.

[Guest/Analyst]

The Biggie Smalls album.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wait a minute now.

[DJ Envy]

She just happened to be sitting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on, now.

[Angela Yee]

Yo, come on, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That sound crazy, right? Then he swung on you, and you said. Then you start talking tough. So I'm giving the business. Then he jumped in your car. You gave him a ride to go give him the beast. And then y' all end up listening to music.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Nisa said that is out of order. I know we got a wreck.

[DJ Envy]

But she said, first of all, that sounds crazy, Eric.

[Angela Yee]

He said, she just happened to be sitting in my truck.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, Diddy swung on me. I laugh. I'm like. Cause you know you can't whip none of us. Now let's go fight. I'm gonna give you a ride to go fight. Then we gonna get around the corner, and then we go listen to music.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So did he want to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on, Eric.

[DJ Envy]

It was all a dream.

[Angela Yee]

That's crazy. He said Diddy just wanted an Uber.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It was the first Uber.

[Angela Yee]

It was the first Uber we found out.

[Lauren LaRosa]

In this first episode, Lisa said the. The juicy music. I mean, juicy, the Biggie music wouldn't even have been available to even listen at that point, because it. There was a lot more that needed to have happened first. Like, she didn't even have Justin. This was like uptown days. Like, so she said some of this is very.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, that ain't the strangest part of that story, man. Giving somebody a little. A lot a lift to go give him the beats.

[Guest/Analyst]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then y' all end up listening to music. It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

I think Eric's coming up in the next couple weeks, but that sounds crazy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We got a lot of. I will say that my apologies for mixing up the two.

[DJ Envy]

A lot of the people that Eric were running with, I don't think Diddy would have been able to swing them. They would have dragged Diddy all up and down wherever they were, like, because Eric ran with some crazy individuals back then. But I don't know. I'mma drive you around the corner. We going to listen to Biggie. Everything's cool. After you just swung on me and I laughed at you.

[Angela Yee]

Well, there and then what happened? Did Misa get out? Did she get in the back or did she.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, Misa said she got the. She got out of there because she already knew what time it was.

[Angela Yee]

And then he got in the car.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If a man swing on you and then where do you let him sit? You can't let him sit in the back. Right next to next. Pull over.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my goodness.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

That is the latest with Lauren. When we come back, we got front page news, so don't move. 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.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sports.

[DJ Envy]

Last night, the Giants pretty much didn't play. Let's leave it at that. What's up, Mimi?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, hold up. Did you see when the dude went to go kick the field goal and he kicked his foot into the ground?

[DJ Envy]

I've never seen that before, ever in football.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was crazy.

[DJ Envy]

How about that? I've never seen that ever before.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They were.

[DJ Envy]

They were. I mean, I felt so bad for Dart, our quarterback. I mean, they were popping him left and right, man. Jesus Christ.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Pause right.

[Angela Yee]

Jesus.

[Guest/Analyst]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

What's up, Mimi?

[Commercial Announcer]

All right.

[Mimi Brown]

M.V. good morning, Envy. Just Charlamagne. How y' all doing this morning?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nice to meet me.

[Guest/Analyst]

Hey, girl.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning. All right, so we start this hour in Tennessee, where It is Election Day, a special congressional race that should have been an easy Republican win, but it has suddenly become competitive. Now voters are choosing who will fill the House seat in Tennessee's 7th district that was left open after longtime GOP Congressman Mark Greene resigned this summer for a private sector job at Tennessee's 7th District. It is a deep red district. Republicans have controlled it for more than 40 years. And President Trump, he won it by more than 20 points. But today's race between Republican Matt Van Epps and Democrat Afton Bain is razor thin. A new poll shows Van Epps is up by just two points, which is well within the margin of error. Now, House Speaker Mike Johnson, he flew in yesterday to headline a rally for Van Epps. During that event, Johnson, he called President Trump, who jumped on speakerphone to fire up his supporters and push them toward the polls. Let's listen to what he told him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just want to thank everybody. I love Tennessee, one of my all time favorite places. But if you can go Matt Van Epps, he's a winner. He's going to be great. Don't let this stuff for you. The Democrats suspended spending a fortune. And we don't want people that want to raise your taxes. She wants to raise your taxes on top of everything else. But she said two things above all else that bothered me. Number one, she hates Christianity. Number two, she hates country music. How the hell can you elect a person like that?

[Mimi Brown]

Well, meanwhile, Democrat Afton Bain, she is pushing back against Republican attacks. She said Trump, Trump and others are pointing to a 2020 podcast clip where she joked about hating Nashville country music and about past comments she made about police funding. She says those clips are being taken out of context and being used to distract from the real issues. Let's listen to what she had to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Say during the George Floyd moment when.

[Mimi Brown]

The entire country was demanding accountability and safer policing. And what I've always believed is that communities need investment. They need investment to be safe. They need investment in mental health responders, first responders, and youth programs to reduce that crime.

[Commercial Announcer]

And you know, I was a private.

[Mimi Brown]

Citizen back then and now I'm a lawmaker.

[Commercial Announcer]

Like I said, I represent 60,000 voters.

[Mimi Brown]

With diverse political opinions.

[Commercial Announcer]

And what I hear from families across.

[Mimi Brown]

The 7th district is that they want safe neighborhoods and they want to lower the cost of living. And that's where my priorities are.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I don't care what kind of music you like. You know what I'm saying? Especially at a time like this. I care about what your policies are about. If you're voting for someone because of what kind of music they like, you probably shouldn't be voting. That's a waste of a vote.

[Mimi Brown]

Absolutely. And this is a lesser known race, but a very important race. So early voting is showing that it's leaning toward Bain. But Republicans, they say that election day turnout could swing it back to Van Epps. So if you are in Tennessee, polls close at 7pm and turnout will definitely decide this one. And we will continue to watch what happens in the special election.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Mimi, do you think Trump endorsements help or hurt at a time like this?

[Mimi Brown]

I think right now they, they hurt more than anything. This is a Republican district that has won a Republican everything for the past 40 years. And all of a sudden there's this margin, like really marginally thin, razor thin difference between the two candidates, two, like two points. It's not looking good for them. And Democrats are saying even if they come in and they win by single digits, it's still a win for them because they, you know, they're so close. The margin is so close. So I don't think, I don't think, I think he should just sit this one out and, and see what happens. But we'll, we'll see what happens. We'll continue to watch.

[Guest/Analyst]

All right.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, today is also Giving Tuesday. It's the global day of generosity that started back in 2012 as a simple hashtag. It always falls on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. And over the years, it's grown into one of the biggest fundraising days for nonprofits against the country across the country. And this year it matters more than ever because so many families are struggling right now. Food prices are so high, millions of are underemployed or unemployed. Nonprofits say the demand is rising as many organizations are seeing their seeing cuts by government grants. And there's also, they say, a shift in how people are giving. Some people are feeling more comfortable giving directly. So those cash app, those Venmo's gofundmes sending money straight to people in need. Others are sticking with the nonprofits, the food banks, the community groups, the local charities. There is no wrong answer. Generosity looks different to everyone. But just a warning, if you are giving today, make sure you vet who you are sending it to. Check websites, read reviews, look for transparency. Of course, we just said people need help today. And so making sure that where you're giving is exactly where it's going to. Last year, Giving Tuesday donations reached $3.6 billion in a single day. So proof, yeah that tough times, people can still show up. So that's right and that's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I was gonna say go out there and sow a seed, man. Go to your local food bank, go to your local pantry, go to your community organization that does that type of work in the community, especially in regards to making sure people eat, man. Give them a dollar. Like, you know, everything counts. Like every single thing counts. I don't care if it jingles or if it folds, man. Just find one of these different organizations to sow a seed with. That's why we have the Food bank of NYC coming in next hour to talk about how you can help, what it is that they're doing. Absolutely, Absolutely.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Very important.

[Mimi Brown]

All right, well, that's your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown tv. For more stories, follow the Black Information Network, Download the free iheartrad or visit binnews.com thank you, Mimi.

[Angela Yee]

Thank you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Peace, Mimi.

[DJ Envy]

All right, now let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. I know a lot of you guys are back from work from your Thanksgiving break. And I was just curious about co parenting. Right. If you're not together, how does co parenting work?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

We've seen what happened with Ray J and Princess that didn't work out well. We seen Todd and Candy. He wasn't in the family pic. So I'm just curious, how does the coach.

[Angela Yee]

He wasn't in the pic. But he was there earlier.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, he was there earlier.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

So we're asking 800-58510, how does that work now? We can ask you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[DJ Envy]

Because now if Rome has a new chick, a new girl, which he has. And can he bring her to the Thanksgiving dinner? Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, he can. This the thing. I don't really like people knowing where I live at. So Rome already know better not to bring me, not to bring nobody to my house that he hasn't seriously been dating for a while.

[DJ Envy]

Not a random.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Angela Yee]

But like all his girlfriends who actually get that position, they've. They've come to Thanksgiving or whatever. No, it's never no issue, plural.

[Guest/Analyst]

Yeah, yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Over the years, like all the girlfriends over the years, if they are solidified as an actual girlfriend, yes, they do come to my house. And they bring their kids too. And, and bring. And Rome bring his whole little football team as well. Now. Other way around. I've never spent Thanksgiving at Rome's house. He's always welcome to come to my house, though. It's never been an issue. Never ever been an issue.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Cause I always wonder if Y' all not together. Right. If a couple's not together and like, a recent breakup, how does that work? Like with Ray J and Princess. Right? Because Ray J has said numerous times he wants to be back in that relationship. Princess hasn't said anything. So, you know, that has to be a lot of the talk during Thanksgiving if he really wants to be back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

Aren't you gonna try to push that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It takes a high emotional intelligence, though. Right. Cause you gotta realize even if you mad at your significant other or ex significant other, it's not about y'.

[Caller/Listener]

All.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's about the kids. Right?

[Angela Yee]

It's definitely about the kids. But it also depends on how the parent act, too. Like, if it's a toxic. Toxic. If it depends on how toxic it was and what the breakup was like surrounding. Like, for instance, like Ray J. It's always something that goes wrong. Like when it's liquor involved or whatever. It's like, because it. The problem was everybody was drunk. He was blaming them for being drunk, and they were saying, yo, you drunk. You waving guns and all that. It depends on the toxicity of the person. It's like, yo, it. I don't know. It's real funny. It's real funny. Because with Todd and Candy, I'm sure none of that happened. But that's very different. They had, like.

[Guest/Analyst]

Like.

[Angela Yee]

Because his daughter was still there and everything. But Candy has said his daughter was there. I mean, he was there earlier, but he probably. You know, it probably probably didn't want to stay because.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Angela Yee]

That's.

[DJ Envy]

That's too new.

[Angela Yee]

That's very, very new.

[DJ Envy]

But let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. And I kind of feel like the relationship got to be dead.

[Angela Yee]

It gotta be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[DJ Envy]

It gotta be dead. Meaning there.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Like, no more feelings.

[Angela Yee]

No intimacy on the side.

[DJ Envy]

Because, like you said, I'm drinking a little bit. I want you back. I've said it on air. I want you back.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right?

[DJ Envy]

You gonna try every opportunity.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm.

[Guest/Analyst]

Boo.

[DJ Envy]

I'm right here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know it's the holidays, but you don't have to do all that. I am right here, boo. This guy is crazy. I didn't even go nowhere.

[DJ Envy]

What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This guy is crazy, bro. Come on. Slow it down. What are you talking about, slow it down? Slow it down. Oh, my goodness.

[DJ Envy]

Call us up right now. 800-585-1051. We're talking co parent.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's wrong with you? You went crazy just now.

[DJ Envy]

You want to get behind me as I cook the macaroni and cheese and all that, huh?

[Angela Yee]

Yo, y' all crazy. Crazy.

[DJ Envy]

The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's topic time.

[DJ Envy]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

With the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about co parenting during the holidays, especially Thanksgiving. That just. The holiday that just passed. And this comes from. From Ray J and Princess. You seen that debacle that happened over the weekend? And also Todd and Candy and their relationship. So we're asking, how does co parenting work? And Jess said, for her, it's fine.

[Angela Yee]

It's fine. It's easy. It's been like this easy breezy with rome for, like, 11 years now. So I. Yeah, it's. It's pretty easy. But I will say, first of all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I read from Tell Death, do we parent. Okay, it wasn't easy, but it was easy. No, no, no. All of a sudden, it's so easy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, it's all right.

[Angela Yee]

It's easy now. It's easy. It's been easy for the past, you know, recent five years or whatever. No, that's because Rome really put me through a lot. So he was very, very toxic. And I started being toxic back, like, in return of his toxicity. So, yeah, that's. It took a while, but. Yeah, but my parents have divorced, like, four years ago, right? They divorced in November and for Thanksgiving was crazy because my dad was. Was bitter. You know? You know what I'm saying? So my mom, she was there, and then I wanted to invite him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Him.

[Angela Yee]

But it got crazy because he was like. He wanted to talk to her. She didn't want to talk to him. So I had to tell my father he couldn't come for Thanksgiving, and that hurt him. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, but.

[DJ Envy]

But like you said, he had to get over that. Those feelings. Once the feelings are out of it, he realizes this relationship is over. And I'm not going there to get my wife back, and she's not going there to get my husband back or my girl back or man back. Once that's over, then I think you could have. But when those feelings are still there, there, I'm still gonna do everything I possibly can to try to get that back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I want to say something. Yo, you. You old, Jess. So it ain't like I'm 33. I know, but it ain't like y' all got young kids. So your dad ain't gonna never get over your mom. You're not a little child.

[Angela Yee]

I know, I know, but it was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just hard for the kids. Yeah, girl, Jeff just 33. Yo. You know, the funny thing is what Jeff said.

[DJ Envy]

I thought that you were talking about way back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You talking about recently?

[Guest/Analyst]

No.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

This is in 2020.

[DJ Envy]

Let's go to the phone lines.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hello?

[DJ Envy]

Who's this?

[Caller/Listener]

Good morning, y'. All. That's Couture.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

What's up? Talk to us, Katora.

[Caller/Listener]

First of all, hi. I listen to y' all every single morning. Unless I don't take my child to school because it's raining. Hi, J. Hi, Charlemagne.

[DJ Envy]

I'm calling I hate gy. That's G, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, I found my places to be exact. But I'm calling a reference to y' all topics. Topic. As far as me and my child father, we are not together. We have not been together for, I want to say, like, three years now. We split the days on holidays. As far as spending a holiday with us, that's a. Hell, no. Never doing that again. But as far as the kids, so he can have both of his parents, we split the days. So my child normally come to my house on, like, Christmas Eve, spend the night, and then, like, during the middle of the day, he'll go with his daddy on Christmas just so he can have both of them.

[Guest/Analyst]

Okay.

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, mama.

[Caller/Listener]

Thank y'.

[Commercial Announcer]

All.

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Peace.

[DJ Envy]

Hello. Who's this?

[Angela Yee]

That's still fresh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's your boy, Dang Chef from Ohio.

[DJ Envy]

Is this Damien?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, that's Damien.

[DJ Envy]

Why you gonna say bang, Chef? Like. I mean, you gotta put your gangster there. Damien Damon told you this old boot envy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, it's not my old boo.

[DJ Envy]

Yo, talk to us, brother.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's up, team, man? It's a. It's a touchy subject for me, man, but I say it takes. Takes two mature adults who don't have no extra vendetta, no extra emotional attachment. Like, two people focus on raising that child the best way they can. Outside of that, it ain't gonna work if one person got any bitterness to the other person, still kind of want that person. It's not gonna work. Communication and just focusing on that child.

[Caller/Listener]

That'S the only way it's gonna work.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Outside of that, man, it's. It's a very tough task past. Especially with the way these relationships set up out here, man. You just got to be the best.

[Caller/Listener]

Parents you can be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right?

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, brother.

[Guest/Analyst]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

That's what I was saying. If you're not over the person in a relationship. It's gonna be difficult.

[DJ Envy]

800-585-1051. We're asking, how does co parenting work with for the holidays this year? Do you have to be over somebody? Are you able to go to the holidays and not beef and not have a problem and not try to get that person back? Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just Jo joining us, we're talking about co parenting. It comes from Ray J and Princess who had a debacle over the weekend for Thanksgiving. And also Candy and Ty.

[Angela Yee]

That's debacle boy.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, you know it. Spell debacle.

[Angela Yee]

D, E, B, A, C, L, E. Don't play with me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

I have my phone with me. You just be making. I ain't got no goddamn phone with me. But we're asking. 800-585-1051. How is CO parenting working? If your house. Can you make it work? We have Olivia on the line. Olivia, good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, bj. Hey, Breakfast Club. How are y'?

Dj like, God damn. Envy's an eater.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my God. Olivia, good morning. Talk to us.

[Caller/Listener]

Good morning, DJ Envy. I'm so sorry. So I have two models, right? First, my first thing is I try, I warn and I execute. I try to make it work. I warn that I'm about to put you on child support, and then I execute. And if nothing comes out of that, you just have to be nice. Honestly, my second thing is like, being nice, being kind to the person, moving on emotionally, mentally, physically. Because when their feelings attached is when there's bitterness attached.

[Guest/Analyst]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, thank you.

[Angela Yee]

I feel you. Where the child support come in at, right?

[DJ Envy]

She just said she's going all the way with it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

Good morning, Kimberly. Where you calling from?

[Caller/Listener]

I am calling Ohio.

[DJ Envy]

Ohio. Weather pretty bad the last couple days, huh?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes, it is snowing today. I am off. I am a school teacher and I'm not calling because of the relationship issue. I'm calling if I Can get some type of financial assistance. I am a struggling teacher over here trying to make ends meet. I'm gonna rob Peter. PayPal. It's just not working out for me, okay?

[Caller/Listener]

No, I'm not gonna say. I'm not. I don't have any money.

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I said Peter ain't got no money. If you robbing Peter, you pay. Paul, Peter broke too. Yeah. Well, put.

[DJ Envy]

Put your cash app out, your cash app out there.

[Caller/Listener]

Can I not do it publicly? No, you're not.

[Angela Yee]

This is the radio, baby.

[Caller/Listener]

Publicly you got to do it publicly.

[Angela Yee]

But that's why you get it. But listen, that's how you get the most help. You know what I'm saying? There's people out there that's waiting to give people like you some help.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And Cash App is your actual government name. I can understand that. You know what I'm saying?

[Caller/Listener]

I, I cannot do that for the sake. I can do it public.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, man.

[DJ Envy]

Well, hold on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Eddie. Yeah, somebody, somebody take her Cash app. You know what I'm saying? I got a soft spot for public school teachers. My mother is a public school teacher. And I know how hard it is for y' all out there, man.

[DJ Envy]

Hello? Who's this?

[Caller/Listener]

True from Detroit.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, what up, Doe? Talk to us about co parenting.

[Caller/Listener]

You have to be emotionally intelligent enough to co parent.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Caller/Listener]

If you don't have the emotional intelligence, what's going to happen is both of you all will end up just. What's the word I'm looking for? Despising each other. When the other person comes around my child, father, all of his girlfriends love them all because that's another person to love my child. Yeah, but if he gets with someone that does it have that self esteem to themselves. I stay away for majority of the holiday. Christmas is a given. I'm going to be around my child for Christmas, Thanksgiving, you know, we could, we could split the time. Fourth of July and all of that kind of stuff. It's like, you know, that's, that's, that doesn't matter. But that other person has to be emotionally intelligent enough. And that's what we lacking as a people. We don't have that emotional intelligence to say, hey, I'm starting to get irritated. Let me remove myself.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, yeah, you stay too long, let it go too far. Then you get end up in arguments and the kids see everything and yeah, got to know when to remove yourself. I get it.

[Caller/Listener]

Right. Because you and personally, I know when I'm, you know, somebody Is getting like, you know, trying to be caddy or whatever, baby, you got it. And this is for my child. This is not even for, you know, me myself as 80s baby. I was ready to pop off and I'm like, okay, what about my child? This is where this emotional intelligence come in that they remove myself so my child can continue to have a good time so that, you know, the person that she sees when she's with her dad, she don't feel any type of way towards them because I feel some type of way towards them. So I know if the other person is a jealous person, I'm going to go ahead, say hello, how are you all, grab a plate and I'mma go.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Well, thank you, mama.

[Guest/Analyst]

I like that.

[DJ Envy]

What's the story of.

[Angela Yee]

That's probably why Todd left earlier too. He was like, you know, this is because they just got divorced.

[DJ Envy]

Was right.

[Angela Yee]

You know what I'm saying? And then I just saw Candy. She was doing something with Bravo where she was saying like, she is going through it right now. So they both definitely going through it. So he probably came, you know, showed his face, fellowship with the family and everything like that. And then he left because it's. It's so, you know what I'm saying? That's hard for both of them to sit around family and act like they didn't just get a divorce a week before.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Angela Yee]

So. All right, well, I don't know the moral.

[DJ Envy]

What's the moral? Do we have a moral?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think what she said is true. I mean, I said the same thing earlier. You got to have, you know, high emotional intelligence to be able to co parent, you know, and if you need more morals to that story. Jess, hilarious has a book coming out called Tell Deaf Do We Parent, Period. Okay. Which talks about her co parenting experience with her first baby's father, Rome. Okay. It will be out next year, but you can pre order it now everywhere you buy books courtesy of Black Privilege Publishing, Simon and Schuster, period.

I knew it was the jacket he was after. I tossed it, giving up the jacket in exchange for my life. I'm alive today, but jacketless.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on the.

[Guest/Analyst]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right y'.

[Guest/Analyst]

All.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So there has been another win in court for celebrities versus bloggers and defamation conversations. So Meg Thee stallion won in court. We talked a little bit about this case. She was coming or suing a blogger by the name of Milo Grahams Milagro Grams. I'm Sorry, Sorry. For defamation. And she was basically, Magna Stallion was alleging that this blogger was only, you know, posting and talking negatively about her. And I posted like, you know, fake, deep, deep fake porn and just different things because of the Tory Lane situation. So yesterday in court, the jury awarded meg the stallion $75,000 in damages. So it breaks down like this. So it's $15,000 for defamation, $8,000 for a motion of destruction distress, $50,000 for the deep fake porn that was posted online, and some additional. And $2,000 for punitive damages and emotional distress. Now, under Florida law, they did determine, because there was a conversation in court about whether the blogger is determined media or a media person or not, they did determine that she would be identified as a media defendant. So because of this, there is a, like, just a process under the Florida law that you're supposed to send a cease and dispute desist to whatever news outlet, the media person, before filing the lawsuit. And because Megan did not do that, the blogger's attorneys are basically saying that she might not be on the hook for the defamation damages.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what's so crazy about cease and desist? When you send cease and desist, that's just simply a warning.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That you're about to sue. Right. And it lays. If you actually read the cease and desist, it tells you exactly what you're doing wrong. So if you continue to do it or don't take down what you said, you can sue. So I don't be feeling sorry for people in these situations. They don't be hiring no lawyer when they get them cease and desisted. They don't even know what the hell they read. Remember, that's what we were talking about, you all. Santana, you can read the contract. Okay. But not understand what the hell is in it.

[DJ Envy]

And I think you have to send a cease and desist before you actually sue. I think that's part of the protocol. So you give them a chance, an opportunity to tell them what they're doing wrong before you go with.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So. But that's what I'm saying. So. So yesterday. Well, first of all, I do want to say that also to the. The blogger, Milagro Grams would be. Is potentially going to be held responsible for Megda Stallion's lawyer fees also. But that's still to be determined.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I thought they said that was a given. From what I read yesterday from. What's that young lady's name? Megan Knuth.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So she. So under law, under Florida law, Milagro is Also liable for Megan's legal fees. So she could have to pay more. But the judge is able to determine how much of those fees that she will have to spend but. Or have to pay. But the reason why I brought up that like whole media defamation thing was because yesterday, Megan, Meg the stallion was going back and forth. Not even back and forth. She posted in response to Megan Kuniff, because there was a that statement posted by the blogger's attorney saying basically she won, but she didn't really win because we won't be on the hook for this defamation. But the judge still hasn't ruled on that. So Meg's team had to issue a statement clearing it up and making it clear that that still hasn't been ruled upon. And ruled upon. And the reason why they did that was because of the conversation we just had about the cease and desist this because Megan didn't send it. But if she's on the hook for those legal fees Megan was talking about, her legal fees were going to be upward of a million dollars.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So yeah, I saw that she had to pay for legal fees. And the judge, the judge hadn't decided even how much diligence, just said that she would have to pay more in damages, not just legal fees.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So the damages conversation is what I'm talking about with the defamation. So if the judge says yes, she's liable for defamation, she'll get that full $75,000 that we talked about and maybe more. But if the judge says no, then it'll be the 59K. But the legal fees is where the, that big. The rest of that money is going to come from because Meg is talking about upward of a million dollars.

[Angela Yee]

So you got to do is shut up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's it.

[Angela Yee]

That's all you got to do is shut up.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that's the thing. You know when these people say these defaming things against people, do they have the money to actually pay lawsuits? So if somebody pays a million dollars and they gotta, you know, get the money, garnish the wages, how long is that gonna take to get all that money back?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I'm not for sure how.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think it's the principle though. I don't think that they actually trying to get any money. It's just the principle. Like you're not gonna be around here just saying whatever you want about me. And look, for everybody who wants to be in this media space, you gotta understand that there is consequences for your actions. You can't do what you want. You can't say what you want. Okay, I know y' all don't wanna hear that.

[Angela Yee]

All right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know that y' all not under FCC rules and regulations, but there still is, you know, consequences in the court of law, as you've seen over and over. I ain't seen a blogger win nothing yet.

[DJ Envy]

Not all, but also, you gotta have somebody that don't give f. Right. Because I know I'm gonna spend that million dollars and I know I'm probably not gonna give it back, but it's worth it to that individual to just say, I'm gonna f off that million dollars.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Some people got the time and some people, you know, got the money.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But on the other side, too, I mean, and this is gonna sound really crazy, but on the other side, you might have. And I'm not saying this about this one blogger, but you might have people who don't care about having to be held responsible for this money because they gonna run off and not pay it. But now everyone's talking about them, and it kind of puts them like, there are people who are like that.

[Angela Yee]

Exactly. And that's probably what this blogger thought. Seen bloggers or whatever who don't even deserve for nobody to say their name on this platform right here. They get sued and they act like they don't care. You know what I'm saying? So, like, if another blogger sees that there's no real consequence for another blogger being sued and nothing comes of it, then they gonna. They gonna think the same thing for them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I wanna say this right. You can feel that way. But if you can't pay a lawsuit settlement, then the other party can legally enforce the judgment of garnish. I don't know about no jail, but garnishing your wages, Correct?

[Angela Yee]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They'll seize your bank accounts, they'll put liens on your property. Like, who got time for all of that? You might start getting the assets taken away from you. Like, who got time for all of that? You'll be in debt, you got damage to your credit. Who cares about. I wonder if all just for a lie. I don't know about nothing.

[DJ Envy]

If you evade not paying, can you go to jail? Can you evade not paying people back and all that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I ain't never heard that. Something.

[Angela Yee]

I think you just get everything taken away from you, though. Like, everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Asset seizure. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Angela Yee]

Like, I don't think it's jail. I think you just get everything taken away.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cause once that creditor can take complete control of your asset assets. You know what I mean? Banks, accounts, personal property, gone. Like, who got time for that just because you want to spread a life and engagement and then this all is.

[Angela Yee]

And then this is all pride. Like, it's pride. Because if you get a cease and desist, yo, and you just. Just take it down, it's pride and it's ego.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She didn't get one in this case, though.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, you say? She did. My bad, my bad. My bad.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She didn't get one.

[Angela Yee]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And that's why I was having the whole conversation about was she gonna be live before what she's not. But that still hasn't been ruled upon, so there will be more. But, yeah, she didn't get one in this case. But in other court news, that young.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lady'S pretty, too, by the way.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Milagro.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, yeah, she is.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She is. I. Oh, let me. Oh, speaking of just pretty, she could.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Be doing a lot more, I was about to say.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I feel like both of them did, the way that they. They both look so good showing up the court, and I know that that probably doesn't matter in this, but they both. Meg the stallion and her looked amazing coming into court every single day. So. Yeah, I know Meg posted her outfits yesterday, like, all of her suits and her looks that she was wearing, but. Yeah, y' all don't care about the outfits, huh?

[Guest/Analyst]

Cute.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right. Yeah. But in other court news, as we wrap yesterday, Todd Tucker, estranged now estranged husband of Candy Burs from Real Housewives of At. He fought a response to her divorce filing, and he's asking for primary custody of their two children. So you guys know that he has his. He has children outside of Candy, but they share two children together. And basically what he's saying in the petition is that the two. The two children that they share are in his custody. Not his custody, but in his care majority of the time, because Candy travels a lot for work, so he's asking to be in full primary custody of the children. And this did not. He says that they work well together as parents, and he's not calling her a bad parent. But of course, this didn't help hit well at all with people because people are like, why would you. Like, why would she not. You know what I mean? Be also determined. Full custody of her child. Children.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, I mean, I get. I. I get what he's saying, though. You know, if she tried. And what if that's an agreement that they both make because Candy is so busy. You know what I'm saying? So what? You know?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's also pushing back on some stuff with the prenup as well.

[Commercial Announcer]

Too.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But I know we got a rap, so we'll wrap here.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, thank you. Latest with Lauren Charlemagne. Who you giving that donkey to?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, speaking of pushing back, what happens when you get your hairline pushed back? We'll discuss. All right, when we come back.

[DJ Envy]

We'll get to that. Next, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Jeff, you are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason.

[Mimi Brown]

It gave him too much money.

[Commercial Announcer]

Florida man is arrested after deputies say.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He rigged the door to his home.

[Mimi Brown]

In an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife.

[Commercial Announcer]

Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Breakfast Club, bitches. Donkey of the day with Charlemagne, the guy. I don't know why y' all keep letting him get y' all like this. No, Lil Duval, it's not me. It's Florida. Okay, Donkey of the day for Tuesday, December 2nd goes to to a 48 year old Florida man named Darius Davis. Okay? Darius Davis is from Miami Dade, Florida. Okay? Drop on the clues. Bombs for Miami Dade. All right? What does your Uncle Charlotte always say about the great state of Florida? Say it with me. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is no exception. Okay? Salute to every black man out there who still has a hairline. All right? God bless you all. I remember those days of having one. And what bothers me the most is I feel like I got cheated because back in the day, I got my wig pushed back by a whack barber, okay? You know, one of those barbers trying to get that line sharp, but in the process of them trying to get it sharp, they just keep pushing your hairline back further and further, okay? I really feel like that got me started on the path to baldness, okay? That barber snatched my edges, all right? My hairline never fully recovered from the barber pushing my hairline back, okay? Every black man out there knows the pain of getting your hairline pushed back. And then finally, at some point, you just say, eff it. Cut it all off. Okay? We were forced to go bald because a barber pushed our hairlines back. All right? Tragic. Now, Darius did something that a lot of men dream about doing when their hairline gets pushed back. And that something is violence. What do you mean violence, Uncle Charlotte? Well, let's go to Local 10 News for the report, please. Darius Davis is in jail once again after police spent a few days looking for him following a violent encounter at a barbershop shop.

[DJ Envy]

Security video from that day shows Davis.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Walking back into square biz with a gun and threatening the owner, Samuel Wilson. Wilson says this was all over an issue with Davis hairline. The barber says he's been doing Davis.

[DJ Envy]

Hair for a while and never had an issue before.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

In the video, you can see Davis.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Force Wilson to the couch and hit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Him with the gun. Newly obtained arrest forms for Davis show police took him into custody a few days later after a traffic stop. The 48 year old was booked into jail before appearing in bond court over the weekend multiple times. I did not think he was going to come around here and come back. I thought we might have fisticuff, but I didn't think he was going to.

[DJ Envy]

Come back with a firearm. I told him, man, have a good day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Davis is facing several charges.

[Angela Yee]

The judge set his Bond at about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

$35,000, has since posted it. First of all, before we continue the story, I want to say salute to all the barbers out there dropping the clues bombs for every barber that can hear my voice. Barbers are pillars in the black community, my brothers. When you really put it in perspective, there aren't too many people more important to the black community. All right? Some of y' all don't go to church, but you go to a barbershop at least twice a week, all right? So the barber more important than your pastor.

[Angela Yee]

All right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Some of y' all see your barber more than you see your doctor, which is a good thing because I guess you're healthy. But once again, your barber is more important to you than your doctor. Hell, some folks wouldn't even want to go to the doctor without a haircut. All right? The moral of the story is we gonna stop acting like barbers aren't a part of our circle of life. For me, as spiritual leaders, therapists, barbers, doctor, dermatologist, personal. Personal trainer. Okay, what is the moral of the story? The moral of the story is barbers should be given the utmost respect at all times. Unless and there isn't. Unless. Unless they are a terrible barber, okay? No barber deserves violence unless, of course, they are terrible. But even if they are terrible, even if there is a barber malpractice, they don't deserve to get a gun pulled on them. All right? There's levels to violence. Don't like your fade, then ask for a fade. All right? But pulling a gun, that's too much. All right? Actually, asking for a physical fight are fisticuffs. It's too much. Okay? You can just say he sucks. That's worse than actually pulling a gun on someone or fighting them because nobody wants to be the barber in the shop that nobody goes to. That is one of the most lonely men in the world. You hear me? Okay? And they always fat because they have nothing else to do but sit there and eat while everybody else on their feet all day because they got actual clients. All right? Now, for the record, most people wouldn't react to having their headline pushed back in this way, but you always have to to know who you playing with. Darius is a convicted felon, all right? And he is a known violent offender. He had an armed robbery charge in 93 and 98 and burglary with assault in 98. He did prison time from 99 to 2004 and from 2006 to 2017. So clear, clearly, Darius about all that action, okay? So anything can set him off. And I don't think people understand what not having a hairline does to some men. It can trick, trigger violence. All right? Some men don't have the head for a baldy, and the thought of them having to get one is infuriating. I thank God he gave me the kind of skull that looks cool with a baldi, okay? Because everyone can't do it, and they know it. Everybody doesn't want to wear the man unit, okay? Everybody doesn't want to do the painted on hairlines. But they also know how ridiculous they could look with a baldi. Think about, you know, how we had to get used to seeing Steve Harvey with a baldi. Took some time for us to adjust. Right? Right. Remember Miguel? R B singer? Miguel, when he first came out with a baldi, looked ridiculous.

[Guest/Analyst]

Hell, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, LeBron James couldn't have a baldi, okay? I could tell by his head shape. Yet another reason he will never be Michael Jordan. Okay, who are some other people who look ridiculous with a baldy? Jazz. Who you think?

[Angela Yee]

Cynthia? Eriva.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn. Okay, first of all, Daniel, I'm talking about men. Jess.

[DJ Envy]

What the.

[Angela Yee]

No, Cynthia Riva.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right? Anyway, I don't know. I even asked you the moral of the story when the only thing sharper than the clippers is your temple. Trim the attitude, not the argument, okay? Please give Darius Davis the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones.

[DJ Envy]

But now you are the donkey of the day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You are the dog. Yes, indeed.

[Angela Yee]

Yo, that's crazy. Yo, Miguel. Head was crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He looked ridiculous. Go back and look at Miguel when he first came out with a ball head and he did it in the reverse. Usually people start with head.

[Guest/Analyst]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then go bald and look ridiculous. Miguel started off bald. Go back and look. Y' all don't remember Miguel when you first came out?

[DJ Envy]

Definitely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Almost definitely. You don't remember Miguel when you first came out and he had the bald head?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that was different.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, that was. All I wanted is you, Miguel, you playing the dawn. He had hair by dawn.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nah, that was the. Yeah, that's when he was born.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, wow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to tell you.

[Angela Yee]

Getting real eggy around here, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Wow. All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. You said one too many dams when looking at a man. Great. You looked at that man. You looked at him again, Miguel, for 30 seconds and said, seven dams. He ain't need no seven dams.

[DJ Envy]

Because there was a bunch of different pictures. All right. Anyway, thank you for that donkey today, sir.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, ma'.

[Guest/Analyst]

Am.

[DJ Envy]

This guy's crazy. All right, when we come back, we have Leslie Gordon and Zach hall joining us there from the Food bank of New York city. They feed 50 million meals. They're trying to feed 50 million meals. $1. If you donate $1, it feeds up to five people. And today is Giving Tuesday. So they need help. They need not just money. If you want to come down, if you want to help out and you want to pitch in, we'll talk to them next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the breakfast club. Lon LaRose is here as well. We got some special guests in the building.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, indeed.

[DJ Envy]

We have Leslie Gordon and Zach Hall. Welcome. How y' all feeling this morning?

[Guest/Analyst]

What's up? How we doing?

[DJ Envy]

From the Food bank of New York City.

[Guest/Analyst]

Yes, yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody does better work, you know, in regards to helping people that are food insecure than the Food bank of New York City, man.

[Guest/Analyst]

Amen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you know, y' all have y' all 50 million meals campaign. Tell us what that is.

[Guest/Analyst]

Yeah. So look, here in New York City, about 20% of our neighbors, almost every street, every borough struggle with knowing when their next meal is coming from, what it's going to be. You know, if you don't have enough food, it becomes like your every minute, every moment, where's it going to come from? What's it going to be? How am I going to feed my family? And so we're on a roll. We're on a mission. We're on a campaign. We Want to make sure we raise 50 million meals by the end of this calendar year.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Guest/Analyst]

And you've been great. Right. Thank you for being in it to win it with us. Thank you for helping people to understand and appreciate the nature of. Of not having enough.

[DJ Envy]

Looks like that's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

In New York City, what is the biggest misconception? And I want both of y' all to answer this. What's the biggest misconception people have about who is food insecure and why exactly?

[Guest/Analyst]

Well, I always, you know, want to tell people that it's not the homeless man on the street.

[Caller/Listener]

Right?

[Guest/Analyst]

Like, these are folks that are. You see every day, these folks that are in your building working on jobs all across the city that are just trying to make ends meet. And the cost of living in New York City is so high that, like Leslie said, is 20 in New York City. That's. That's a million and 300,000 people. This is a good sized American city. Right. So these are folks that, you know, are trying to get their kids to school, trying to make sure mom and dad in retirement aren't struggling to afford the medications that they need. And we just need, you know, kind of citywide effort to make sure we can feed our neighbors.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, one thing I saw, especially during the government shutdown, you know, actual federal workers, workers coming to the food bank. These aren't people on SNAP benefits. These aren't people on any type of welfare. They just couldn't make ends meet because they weren't getting any paychecks. But they had to go to the food bank.

[Guest/Analyst]

Yeah. You know, here in America, they say most people are about, you know, one paycheck away from finding themselves on standing on a pantry line, going to a community kitchen to get a hot meal. We had this incredible couple, you know, come visit us in Queens. They said, you know, we haven't been on a pantry line since the last government shut down. 2018, 2019. Daughter has a scholarship at Cornell. She's coming at home. We need to be able to gather around the table for Thanksgiving just like any other family. And so we need the food. The amazing thing about it is, is that there's such an incredible spirit of gratitude. Right? We're in that season of gratitude. And so the same couple who stood on the line, they took their groceries home. The guy comes back about half an hour later, our team's out on the ground like they normally are, and thought he forgot something, maybe he needs something else. And he said, no, I'm gonna roll up my sleeves. I'm here to help put me to work. What can I do? Yeah. It's incredible.

[Angela Yee]

How did the government shutdown impact. Impact your operations? Like to provide the food?

[Guest/Analyst]

Yeah. I mean, we're made for moments like this. At Food bank for New York City, we've got such an incredible team, and we've got, you know, great ambassadors like all of you and Charlemagne here. And so that when the demand rises, we rise right along with it to make sure New Yorkers have what they need. But if I'm being really honest, that's where we need people to stand shoulder to shoulder with us. Right. We need them to be in it with us 365 days a year. That's the thing. Hunger doesn't take a holiday. Right. We tend to have these conversations around the holidays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, you know, people are hungry all year long, and there's. Everybody can find themselves on our journey. Right. That's what's really special. Speaking as objectively as I can about what we do at Food bank for New York City. Right.

And, you know, the shutdown, you mentioned that, you know, SNAP benefits were halted for the first time in history.

Right.

So we had two weeks of folks just not getting the. The food they need to get to get by that saw a surge in demand at our pantries across the city. And that's something that we don't want to repeat. You know, this folks shouldn't be punished for. For politics. And this is about people, not about partisanship. We want to make sure that folks in America are being fed and having. Most SNAP recipients are taxpaying working families, but they're just. They weren't getting their benefits. So we want to make sure that that doesn't happen again. Unfortunately, you know, the. The government was being funded through September 2030th next year, thank God. But, you know, shutdowns really, really impact people way more than just workers not showing up to work. It's about lots of systems being impacted.

It's. It's about affordability. I mean, let's just be really honest. Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I was gonna ask, how frustrating is it for you guys because you're really on the ground seeing these people in these families. When you see headlines and politicians making it about Republican, Democrat, like, it's. It's a different experience for you as you're meeting these families, Right? So, like, what's that experience in talking to those people as they're watching that happen, Happen?

[Guest/Analyst]

Yeah, go ahead.

I think it's just basic needs, right? Like, everybody eats. So we want to make sure that that's a fundamental, you know, kind of a condition of survival in, in this country and in the city. This isn't about a, an urban or a suburban or a rural issue. Every hunger affects everybody across the country. And the shutdown threw that into, you know, stark relief, right? Like, so all of a sudden, 42 million people in the country didn't have SNAP benefits. And the politics of it is, is not apparent for us. We're serving households that have come to us, no matter any type of political persuasion. And we're here to serve everybody. And, you know, it is frustrating that our elected leaders can't get along and figure this out. And that's something that we always push for. Like, you know, policy means that people are impacted and how can we come together, you know, party set aside and, and just move the country forward?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What policy of systemic change would make the single biggest impact right now in regards to keeping hunger from rising?

[Guest/Analyst]

Yeah, I mean, wages, that's always a big thing, right? The cost of living all across the country, and especially right here in New York City is far outpaced wage increases. You know what we know, here's. Check this out for a minute. So if you live in New York City, what we know is that you need to make a minimum of $100,000 just to make ends meet, right? Rent eats first, I constantly say. So after you've paid the light bill, after you've paid for rent, right. Transportation, gas in the car, shoes for your kids, all of that, there isn't a whole lot left, right? And so we need to work on wages, housing, right? We all talk about housing a lot. That's a very serious issue. It's really hard to live your best life when. And you don't really know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year. Filled with joy and laughter. A little bit of the festive chaos we all secretly love.

It's finding joy in the little moments, like laughing over old memories, playing holiday games, or taking that first sip of an ice cold Coca Cola that cuts through all the holiday fresh frenzy and brings the cool comfort to your soul. Because that's the good stuff. The joy hiding in plain sight. The sound of laughter mixing with the clink of glasses. The calm between the songs and the stories. And when things start to feel like they're doing the most that crisp delicious taste of Coca Cola can be the reset everyone needs. Just a little reminder that the season isn't about rushing, it's about refreshing. So wherever the holidays take you, slow down, take a break, breath and savor the moment.

[Ed Helms (Amazon Five Star Theater narrator)]

Pets age 0 to 10Amazon Five Star Theater presents real Customer Reviews Performed by Ed Helms Tonight's Review Tactical Jacket I was living a simple life. Didn't get out much. Then I bought this jacket and everything changed. Women came flocking to me from lands domestic and foreign. I bought a motorcycle, started hanging out with drug dealers. But like rich ones and we flew helicopters. I ended up taking down a communist regime with a band of rebels. On the 245 day sailboat voyage home, I was attacked by a shark. I knew it was the jacket he was after. I tossed it, giving up the jacket in exchange for my life. I'm alive today, but jacketless. We'll buy this jacket again soon. 5 stars Amazon Customer 69 thank you for listening to Amazon 5 Star Theater. Looking for unforgettable gifts this holiday season?

[Guest/Analyst]

Where you're gonna live or it's taking up a big chunk of your salary. We've gotta, we've gotta come together and fix it.

[Angela Yee]

You guys are providing on a lot large scale. There's a lot of people that y' all are getting food to. How do you ensure that the families are being fed quality meals?

[Guest/Analyst]

This is one of my favorite parts because we have dietitians on staff, so they work with our procurement team to make sure we're bringing in balanced meals, you know, that are culturally relevant, but also, you know, whole and minimally processed foods. And I heard you talk before about nutrition, such an important component of, you know, overall health. And we're going to make sure that, you know, we're not reinforcing some of the, you know, chronic health conditions that are plagued by so many communities who are also food insecure. It's like the double edged coin where, you know, if you're food insecure and you're, you have a diabetes or hypertension or cancer, heart disease, you're sick. Yeah.

Then you got to take off work to go to the doctor. Then you lose your job because you can't get to work because you're sick and you're out at the doctor too much. It ends up being a vicious cycle and a loop that people find themselves in. It's pretty crazy. Nutritious. Food's really important to us. In addition to getting food that helps you feel seen and that feels like home. You know, what's interesting is I think about kids in the Bronx. We saw you out over the summer in the Bronx. Do you know that there are kids in our own city who have never had a blueberry? So, you know, what's interesting is as a parent, when you have limited resources, you can't afford to make a mistake.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, that's right.

[Guest/Analyst]

Right. And so you've got to choose stuff that you know that your kids are gonna eat. What if they've never had a blueberry before and you don't know if they're gonna eat it?

They're not cheap.

It's not cheap. And so that's also part of what we do, is help introduce everyone in New York City, especially kids, to new and different foods that, you know, mom and dad can't afford to make a mistake on. But we're going to make sure that they, they know what a blueberry is all about.

And we've, we've been Making really amazing strides towards that end. You know, about 40% of our. Our. Our food that goes out the door is produce or lean protein. Like, really making sure that that's a well rounded, balanced plate of food for families.

Everything that's. And you got to come see. Right, here's my personal invitation this morning, because it's. It's. I think it's quite fascinating, the magical dance that happens behind the scenes in our incredible facility in the Hunts Point section in the South Bronx every day to make sure that there's food on the plate tonight, for a New Yorker, it's just hats off to our team that picks it up, puts it down, moves it around with such an incredible, heartfelt spirit every single day. Yes. Produce, I would say anything you find in a grocery store store is what you're going to find in our inventory. And it. We're serious. So no cakes, pies, cookies, sugary drinks. That's. That's not what's in our facility.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, I've had some good cookies at the food bank at the one in Harlem.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh.

[Guest/Analyst]

So listen, listen, listen, listen. So she's no joke, right? It's the ginger peach tea. It's those. I call them her slammin chocolate chip cookies. Right. Everybody deserves a treat. We are definitely not the food police. I feel you on that. So, yes, we've got this amazing Harlem kitchen right off of Frederick Douglas Boulevard. We've been there for a lot of years. Chef Sherry and her team spins out nearly 500 hot meals a day with love. And, yeah, those cookies, they're no joke.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I feel like that. You know, the food bank fyc, that's what I love about y' all the most. The passion that y' all actually have. It doesn't feel like, like, you know, y' all are just doing something for the sake of doing it. It's like everybody there is intentional about the mission. I feel that way.

[Guest/Analyst]

Yeah.

I mean, I've. People on my team have been doing this for 20, 25 years. And so it's, you know, folks that come into the line of business stay at the organization because we love our people and stick around and grow and develop. I've been at the food bank for 17 years myself.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Guest/Analyst]

Started as a 10 ramp and, you know, kind of came into this. And, you know, unless he's been doing this for. For decades as well. So we have is passion. I mean, feeding people, it's basic needs, man. You give somebody a bag, look in the. Look in their eye and understand that they're going to be better off because of that. That's not enough. Right. That's not enough to get people whole. But you know, it's something that is a tribute to the staff that we have at Food bank and yeah. Take it very, very seriously.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me ask you a question. What's one story that reminds you why this mission still makes sense, matters and keeps you motivated?

[Guest/Analyst]

It's a, it's a, it's an interesting story because that is not always about food. Right. So we have about 60 or so K to 12 pantries. So pantries at schools, elementary school, middle high schools. And you know, with generous funding from city council and other funders, we've been able to do this for, you know, going on 15 years. And part of the, the, the distribution, some of our pantries includes all the, the food we've been talking about, but also like some basic needs like hygiene supplies, laundry detergent, soap, shampoo, those types of things, deodorant. And there's this one, I was visiting one of these schools, PS 30 in, in, in the Bronx, and just asking the parent coordinator, how's it going? She says, oh, you know, like I didn't realize this, but this pantry has had like these other amazing effects. There's this one kid in our class, David, he was shy, never really participating middle schooler. And after his family started going to the pantry, he started, you know, being more and more involved in class, participating, raising his hand because he got deodorant and he was concerned that raising his hand in class. You know, we've all been in middle school, man, that's, that's a tough time. You don't be called out as, as a kid who can be real funky. So by going of the class, he, he's getting, you know, not only meals been basic needs, but stuff that prepares him.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Guest/Analyst]

To be a better learner.

[Angela Yee]

Essentials.

[Guest/Analyst]

Right. And like that's, that's a, like an incredible story of just like how that, that whole, whole household view can get kids in a better place to, to be them better self. And she, you know, she was almost in tears telling me how impactful this was for, for them in their school.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, so remember the deal. Remember, raise your hand if you're sure. Sure.

[Guest/Analyst]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was unsure. No.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was, that was very, that was a very effective commercial.

[DJ Envy]

Now today is Giving Tuesday. How would you want people to, to go about giving? Is it money? Is it financial? Is it work?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is it all of the above?

[Guest/Analyst]

It's all the above money. Is the, the, the benefit for us Is is the most powerful way that we can. We can put investments back into our work in our community. So go to foodbank nyc.org org click on donate and learn how you can give. No, no, no gift is too big. No gift is too small.

[Angela Yee]

Lauren Becoming a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. Some she gets the details.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on the.

[Guest/Analyst]

Beast, the Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So Michelle Williams was on her podcast, checking in with Michelle Williams that you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can listen to on the Black Effect podcast network, available everywhere you listen to podcasts, one of the best podcasts in the business.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Period. Clock it. Yes. So she was on her podcast and she was talking about her recent experience at the Boy is Mine tour, which Kelly posted. By the way, it seems like she surprised Kelly. Let's take a listen. I got wind that my sister Kendria, Trinae Rowland was in Washington, D.C. the boy is Mine tour made a stop in Washington, D.C. a few people said that she made tweaks to her show. Beyonce came on in.

[Commercial Announcer]

Let me tell you something about that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Beyonce, Giselle, Beyonce comes to something and she sees something. She's going to make some suggestions. I love it. Kelly's show. The news that I'm hearing, Kelly's show was the bomb. And then when Sister Carter came on.

[Mimi Brown]

In, now you're seeing something else.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Amazing. So that's pretty cool. Kelly and Bea, they're like, girl, Michelle, if you ever, you better pick up. We matter of fact, they're like, we better be the first person each other calls. If there's something in the capacity in which I know you can do something, something, call me. Love it.

[Angela Yee]

I will say when we went to go see Kelly. And we saw Kelly at the Brandy and Monica show. She did great. Like, she ate down. I know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So too.

[Angela Yee]

I don't know what the tweaks were, but she killed it before. I'm pretty sure it's even more solid after.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. There was a photo of Jay Z and Beyonce, like, sitting in the stands, and people were trying to figure out if that meant Beyonce was helping with show production or whatever for Kelly set. So this kind of like. Like, gives you a look into that. And also, Michelle.

[Angela Yee]

Damn. She couldn't just be coming to the show. What if she, like, Brandy, Monica, and obviously Kelly is her sister.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But anyway, she's been on a lot of the show days. I mean, I think she. They do just come just to support, but because they were. They were, like, sitting kind of like in a rehearsal type of vibe, so people were trying to figure out what that meant.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So would y' all want Beyonce and Jay Z to be sitting in the crowd?

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Angela Yee]

No.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Because on the other show dates, you see them enjoying the show, but at this particular. In this particular photo, it's like, it's obvious that they're there during rehearsals. We're trying to figure out what it.

[DJ Envy]

That's her sister. Like, if I'm performing, I want somebody to say, hey, I like this. I don't like this. Shouldn't we do that as families?

[Lauren LaRosa]

100%.

[Angela Yee]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. I'm just saying the fans were trying to connect the dots, and Michelle might have just did it for us, but Michelle Obama was also at that D.C. show, and she posted a photo with Brandon Monica, and she said to Brandy, and she also took one with Kelly as well. She said to Brandi, Monica, Kelly, Maya, and the entire crew. Because Maya did, you know, permanently now replace money long on the tour. She says you all did your thing last night in D.C. such a beautiful evening of love and sisterhood. Thank you for sharing the gifts with all of us. You make me so proud to be a black woman in America. I will see you all soon. Great night at the Boy's Mind Tour two Michelle's with.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Great podcast, by the way. Michelle Obama's podcast and Michelle Williams.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Make sure you subscribe to checking in podcast with me, Michelle Williams on the Black Effect podcast network.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. My podcast cousin, Flex Washington is talking about that Michael Jackson movie that everybody brings up because he should have been.

[Angela Yee]

The one that did it. Yeah, Flex Washington.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That was the show.

[DJ Envy]

I was like, what?

[Lauren LaRosa]

That. That was the show. I thought it was his. His actual last name, too. But, yeah. So Flex.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I be thinking he got married and took somebody last name. Who the hell is Flex Washington?

[Lauren LaRosa]

See how TV resonates with the younger generation? Because I really thought that was his real name. But he. So he sat down with Art of Dialogue, and he was talking about that Michael Jackson movie. When he played Michael Jackson. Let's take a listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I really thought it was going to be like this joint coming out. But we did performances. I did mandamir performance songs. I'm thinking like, yes. Then they came to me, you know, the lawyers. Yeah, we can't use the music. And it just lost something. And then we'll talk about the makeup. They had this airbrush and they brush in it to test it. And I'm looking at it. I'm just like. I'm like, you can't get it a little smoother, a little darker? And they wanted to put a prosthetic nose on me as well. I was like, I'm not doing that. So we go on and we shoot it. Then I just started thinking about it and I looked and I was like, it is kind of bad. I do look kind of. When it was so bad, the wig was sticking out when the back was so bad. I can't even. I watched a little bit on YouTube. I was like, holy. And then he had made comments about it. He was upset, but he never said anything about me or my performance. It was the allegations and the stuff that was going on at the time that he was upset. He was like, why do we have to keep talking about this? Flex, I love you, my brother, okay? But there's no way that you read the script and saw the budget of that film and thought it was gonna be like, the one that we about to get now.

[DJ Envy]

I wonder how much you got paid, though, how much you paid for that?

[Angela Yee]

But back in the day, he proudly thought, like, yo, there's no way. There's no way they could go to anybody else. They coming to me. Flex Anderson.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I bet you Michael Jackson wasn't involved in that movie. I bet you the estate wasn't involved in that movie. Like, no, there's no way that you looked at that script and thought, hey, man, this is about to be a big blockbuster.

[Angela Yee]

Who is like, who is Data? Who did it? Who. Did we ever find out who did the movie?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know. Who produced that one?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, who produced it?

[Lauren LaRosa]

On Reach out, we want to ask them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't think there's much to talk about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They are part in the script. And instead of saying he, he. He went, ha.

[Mimi Brown]

No.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, I don't. I don't know how much he was paid. I see some reports, but it's not from, like, any valid sources. I don't know if we want to.

[Angela Yee]

Damn, man. I just want to know who did.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It, who cast it.

[Angela Yee]

Flex.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, yeah, I don't.

[Angela Yee]

Damn.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But he's recollecting. Recollecting. I can't even get it out. He's recollecting on that recall.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good luck.

[Angela Yee]

He's recollecting. Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's a word. Okay, look it up. I didn't know recollecting is a word.

[DJ Envy]

Continue on. Don't let him stop you.

[Angela Yee]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right. Okay. Now, finally, I wanted to bring back this clip. And I know people was mad when I told people that revolt and Dame Dash wasn't a thing, but I'm about to blow up his spot again. Y' all remember when Dame Dash said on the Breakfast Club that the Diddy doc wasn't coming? I got the audio.

[Mimi Brown]

Mm.

[DJ Envy]

Do you remember when 50 Cent was supposed to be putting out a documentary about Puff on Netflix?

[Guest/Analyst]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Where is it?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think it's still happening.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's capping. Do you remember when Dame Dash came on Breakfast club and said 50 was capping about the Diddy documentary? That's the conversation.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just want to point out that Dame was. Dame was wrong.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I watched it. It's there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's it.

[Guest/Analyst]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Are you sure you watched it? Is it on Envy?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I fell asleep at 3:30 in the morning.

[DJ Envy]

Just making sure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, I just want to be petty for a second. That right? Just a few months ago, there was a man named Dame Dash who came on the show.

[DJ Envy]

I know that interview.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He said that 50 was capping about putting out a Diddy document.

[Guest/Analyst]

He did.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So, you know, he was right. 50 was right. 50 put out his Diddy document documentary. So why should we listen to Dame about not putting out the paid in Full documentary? That's all I'm saying.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He said he changed your lives when he had that conversation about being.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's not true either. He also said he was the chairman of the revolt. That wasn't true either. But what are we talking about? Y' all go ahead.

[DJ Envy]

Y' all keep listening to Dame Dash.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If y' all want. Yeah. Dame. Salute the Dame.

[DJ Envy]

Salute the Dame.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dame. Cap. Cap. Cap. Cap.

[DJ Envy]

I'm surprised you have a petty party.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, know. I just want y' all to know that Dash was wrong. That's all I. That's all I'm saying. Okay. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. All right.

[DJ Envy]

Well, that is the latest with Lauren.

[Lauren LaRosa]

By the way, recollecting comes up on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Google, man, how should know.

[Angela Yee]

Hey, yo, I got you now is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Has Dame said anything about the 50 documentary?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I went to look. I didn't see it. I didn't see.

[Angela Yee]

He'll wake up and watch.

[DJ Envy]

I'm sure he will today.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It would be very honorable name to admit that you would wrong. Okay.

[Angela Yee]

It came on it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was wrong about quite a few things in that conversation that we had, but it would be okay to admit this one.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, no, he'll show you his view today and he'll say that it's up to you. The view today.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Well, that's the ladies with Lauren when we come back. We got the mix. It's the people's choice mixes. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious, Charlemagne. We are the Breakfast Club. Today is Giving Tuesday. So if you can donate to a food bank or anybody that provides food or meals or anybody that's giving back a dollar will go a long way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you know what else I wanted to say, Envy in regards to the food bank. You know, I'm an ambassador for the food bank in New York City. And even if you don't have the money to give, man, go give some time, you know what I'm saying? Pull up to a local food bank in your neighborhood, pull up to a pantry, pull up to one of these community organizations that provide meals for from people and just, you know, lend a helping hand, you know, pack up some bags, you know, give out some meals to some people. Like there's all type of ways to give back that aren't necessarily in regards to finances.
