All right, we got bbb. All right, there we go. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Front page news is next. Morning, everybody. It's DJ envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the breakfast club.
DJ Envy
We having technical difficulties this morning. They told us that the whole last break when we was talking, nobody could hear us. Is that true?
Charlamagne Tha God
Eddie's saying they can't hear us now either.
Jessica
Mosquitoes is out here.
DJ Envy
I don't know if that's true. Let's do front page.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, you can hear us. Yes. Okay, so just since y' all couldn't hear us, juvenile and manny fresh will be joining us this morning.
DJ Envy
How do we know they couldn't hear us, though?
Charlamagne Tha God
That's what everybody said. They couldn't hear us.
DJ Envy
I'm talking about. I need to talk to the people out there listening on the radio and on the iheartradio app, the people in here kind of r word.
Jessica
Hey, yo.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, yo. All right, man. What's up, Mimi?
Mimi Brown
Good morning, envy. Josh on the main. How y' all doing this morning?
DJ Envy
Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
We think we good. We think people can hear us, but we. We doing all right.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay.
Juvenile
All right.
Mimi Brown
We gonna get through it. So we start this hour with a major or this morning with a major update on the war in iran. New information about the u. S. Troops wounded in the conflict. Now, the Pentagon says at least 140American service members have been injured since the war began about 11 days ago, a number much higher than officially suggested. So until now, the defense department had only publicly released or discussed troops who were seriously wounded. But after questions from news organizations, the pentagon confirmed yester that the total number of injuries is far larger. Officials say most of those injuries are considered minor and more than 100 troops have already returned to duty. Now still, eight service members remain severely injured and are receiving intensive medical care. Many of the injuries are believed to be linked to missile and drone attacks launched by Iran against US Troops across the region. Now, so far, the Pentagon says seven US Service members have been killed. But some critics are now questioning whether that number fully reflects the scope of the fighting. Writer and activist Mark Green says the size and the scale of the recent attacks, they raise concerns about the real number of casualties and suggest that they could be much higher. Let's listen.
Charlamagne Tha God
The devastation that has rained down on a multitude of US Bases makes it simply impossible that the number of casualties are at the currently announced number seven. This means Donald Trump is either hiding the number of casualties or worse, his people are hiding the casualties from him. Tucker Carlson recently stated, and I'm not in the habit of quoting Tucker Carlson, but he recently said that he he believes Trump is being shown polling that indicates that 90% of Americans support the war. We know this is untrue. Recent reuter polling shows that one in four Americans support the war in Iran.
DJ Envy
It makes sense to me, like it would seem almost impossible that, you know, it wouldn't be, you know, more casualties. I would hope that there is not, but it just doesn't seem like, it just seems impossible that it wouldn't be.
Mimi Brown
Seems a really small number when you think of the totality of what's happening in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hecht says he's warning Americans that more casualties could still come as the fighting continues to escalate. Let's listen to that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Today will be yet again our most intense day of strikes inside Iran. The most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes, intelligence more refined and better than ever. So that's on one hand. On the other hand, as President Trump declared, we're crushing the enemy in an overwhelming display of technical skill and military force. We will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated.
DJ Envy
Is it more casualties to come or have all those casualties already happened and they haven't told us yet?
Mimi Brown
Well, good question. We will continue to find out, I'm sure, as this goes on. But even as the Pentagon talks about ramping up strikes, there are signs that the war is also burning through weapons very quickly. The Washington Post reports that officials, they told Congress first two days of fighting alone that they used $5.6 billion in missiles and bombs, raising questions about stockpiles and how quickly those weapons can be replaced. And one more note about the Pentagon. I don't know if you guys seen this report, but a new watchdog report shows that the Defense department, it spent $93 billion in September alone. So one month alone, the Defense department, they spent $93.
DJ Envy
So you know how many people you can feed in America, how many people you can house in America with $93 billion. You got our TSA age, no money. And they spend $93 million in a month.
Mannie Fresh
In a month.
Mimi Brown
And what is raising questions, you guys, is what that money was spent on. So the report says some of Those purchases included $225 million on furniture, 2 million on Alaskan king crab, about 7 million on lobster. Yes. 200,000 on an ice cream machine and donuts. And so, you know, all of this, as you just said, Charlemagne happening as Doge has been promising to crack down on government waste and abuse. I thought they were buying jobs were lost, you know, and then you have this department spending $93 billion on items like that.
DJ Envy
They sound like us when we used to get EBT from crackheads back in the day, get them food stamps from crackers. Crab legs, Jesus, shrimp.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now, Mimi, I know Donald Trump said we went to war because they were going to bomb us, allegedly. Is there, was there any proof to that? Did they hear?
Mimi Brown
There still has not been. There has not been any proof. And we still honestly. And we don't know what the objective is. Right. It feels like they keep moving the goalposts each time that something happens. And so that's been a major contention between con and, you know, the American public. Like, what is really going on? Why are we at war? We still really don't have all that information.
DJ Envy
We went to war because Benjamin Netanyahu wanted us to go to war. And Benjamin Netanyahu, Netanyahu. Has the president compromised with something, I think to do with the Epstein files.
Mimi Brown
We're going to talk about the Epstein files in the next hour, but really quickly, I wanted to talk about, you know, there was a strike that. It was a Delhi strike near a girls school in Iran. Officials say 168 people were killed, including dozens of children. A newly surfaced video appears to show what experts believe was a U. S made Tomahawk cruise missile missile hitting a building next to the school. And so speaking on Monday, President Trump says he does not know who carried out the strike and says the incident is still under investigation. Let's listen really quickly to what he had to say.
DJ Envy
I will say that the Tomahawk which
Charlamagne Tha God
is one of the most powerful weapons around, is used by, you know, is
DJ Envy
sold and used by other countries. You know that whether it's Iran or somebody else. The fact that a Tomahawk.
Charlamagne Tha God
A Tomahawk is very generic.
DJ Envy
It's sold to other countries. But that's being investigated right now. You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why are you the only person saying this? Because I just don't know enough about it. I think it's something that I was told is under investigation.
Mimi Brown
Yeah. So allies like Australia, the uk they do possess Tomahawk. Tomahawk missiles, but Iran does not. So further pointing to that, that the US May be responsible. But again, that is still under investigation.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
So it was.
DJ Envy
And it more than likely it was America, though.
Mimi Brown
Well, we will see. But more than likely missiles. Yes, you're absolutely right about that. And F7, there's a new update to a ride share app and it's getting mixed reviews. We'll tell you why some people say the change is not fair and why it crosses the line in the next hour.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Call us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hello. Who's this?
Caller Sherrod Johnson
This is Sharad. My name is Sherrod Johnson.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, Sharad Johnson. Where you calling from, brother?
Caller Sherrod Johnson
I'm calling from Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Charlamagne Tha God
Talk to us.
DJ Envy
Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Charlamagne Tha God
Get it off your chest.
DJ Envy
That's a new one.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
Man, I'm getting off my chest. It was a conversation I had last week with. It was with Emmy Lovato and Keke Palmer about how younger women were dating older men. And my wife and I were talking about it and something that Lauren LaRosa said and Charlamagne said that really sat with her. Lola Rosa said when she was younger, her parents or her mother would tell her to get somebody who provides for her. And then Charlemagne had said, well, she was probably talking to your older version of yourself. And, man, that really sat with us because me and my wife are just sitting like, man, this is scary raising a daughter because she was told the same thing. And it just, man, and then just the mentality that men have. But they tell younger women like, you're mature for your age. What does that even mean?
DJ Envy
That means they trying to justify why they old ass is Dating a young ass girl.
Juvenile
Yeah, but.
Charlamagne Tha God
But like you said, that mentality is wrong to me. Like, that mentality. There's no way, in my opinion, a parent should tell a daughter, find a man that'll take care of you financially.
DJ Envy
No, I tell my daughters that they gonna get their own.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, they gonna have their own.
DJ Envy
I'm setting my. I set my daughters up to have their own.
Juvenile
Yep.
DJ Envy
And to get there on.
Charlamagne Tha God
And I'm the same way.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
Yeah.
Jessica
That's just.
DJ Envy
I want to come.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
I understand that probably comes from a predatory mindset, but like even you know how they say my girls mature older than men? Like, what does that even mean? Because it's like just because you do adult things, that means you're mature. Like you pay the bills. Like, what does that even mean?
DJ Envy
Well, women do mature faster than men, though. I mean, research, Research shows that like, like just biologically and neuro. Neurologically, women mature faster than.
Charlamagne Tha God
It doesn't have to be sexually. Yeah, it could be mentally. It could be many different things.
DJ Envy
Because their frontal lobe develops correct earlier.
Charlamagne Tha God
I got six kids and all my girls have matured faster than the boys.
Juvenile
Absolutely.
DJ Envy
That's science.
Jessica
But yeah, in terms of dating, that doesn't matter.
DJ Envy
Yeah. Not dating, dating. That's just. I'm telling you, that's just older men trying to justify why they dating young girls in their mind.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
Exactly. And I just. They're just safe. You're just sick to me. It's hard. It's hard raising dogs.
Jessica
I agree.
DJ Envy
I got four.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I got four too. But like you said, you. You provide for your daughters. You. You try to set your daughters up so they don't need no man. That, that they. They rely on themselves and their pappy, man.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
Yeah, man, I appreciate y', all, man.
DJ Envy
Appreciate you. But it is, it is contradictory though, because we do say these things, right? Like I, I agree. Like, we should set our daughters up to have their own. But then we also say, as men, our job is to protect and provide.
Jessica
Yeah. Like you say, two things can be true at the same time though. You know, you want your daughters to be in relationships where they can self sustain, but they are being taken care of as well.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. There's been many times where women stay in relationships because they can't leave. Because a man is providing, because a man is giving them something that they can't get on their own. So they have to stay in these bad relationships. And like you said, having daughters. No, you make sure your daughter can provide for herself. You make sure she's set up for herself. So she's never in a relationship because of providing she can get in and out when she needs to, and she has her own. And my daughters will continue to get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the event, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
DJ Envy
It's a new day.
Charlamagne Tha God
This is your time to get it off your chest.
DJ Envy

Wedding costs are crazy. Between the flowers, between the venue, between the music, between the decor.
DJ Envy
It's not gonna be cheaper next year. What's the point? It's not gonna be cheating, right? It don't matter what you're talking about.
Charlamagne Tha God

Mannie Fresh
No, you don't.

Charlamagne Tha God
But the family won't pay for it.
DJ Envy
$100,000. A lot of money for a wedding. Lord have mercy. Yeah, I don't think that's the average price for, what, 100,000?
Jessica
100,000?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Jessica
No, not average.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, I'm over that.
Juvenile
Let me.
Mannie Fresh
Let me Google.
DJ Envy
Let's get to the latest.
Charlamagne Tha God
Way over that already, but let's get to the latest. What's up, Lauren?
Lauren LaRosa
Good morning, y'.
Juvenile
All.
DJ Envy
Average price for wedding in America is 33,000 to $36,000.
Lauren LaRosa
That's actually cheap. I thought it was at least like, 50.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, okay, well, $50,000, still a lot of money. The fact that his family was gonna pay for it.
Lauren LaRosa
You said 750,000 dol. No, I thought that the average was gonna be like 50,000. Oh, yeah, but that's. That is still a lot of money.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's a lot of money. And venues are expensive. Ish. Food is expensive. Super duper expensive. Yeah, yeah. The outfits. If it's. If it's a destination wedding. Painful. Oh, my goodness.
DJ Envy
Somebody tell y' all to match every goddamn thing. That's your problem. The KT crew getting a whole bunch of custom stuff, man. Everybody matching all the bridesmaids, the groomsmen matching the tablecloth, the curtains. Everybody doing that with y'.
Juvenile
All.
Jessica
Y' all face on the floor.
Lauren LaRosa
If y' all know it's like 300 people, just like. And then you got the people that's gonna come.
DJ Envy
But then talk about the price of a wedding. That's y' all price of a wedding.
Charlamagne Tha God
This might be a good time to tell you guys to subscribe to my OnlyFans feet page. And also, I will be dancing at Magic Mike's coming this weekend. I'm just joking. We got the ladies coming up.
Mannie Fresh
What we talking about?
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. So Jay Z, Beyonce, and Rihanna have some company in the Billionaire Club. Some new company. And we gonna get into who it is. Exactly.

Lauren LaRosa
Oh, okay.
Ad Read / Announcer
All right.
DJ Envy
You look like you're not going to cry this morning.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, I'm not. We're going to get through it. It's a great day. All right, so put some shades on. I don't have no shades. Oh, wait, where are the messy visions?
Jessica
Oh, man.
Lauren LaRosa
All right, that's the Jimmy J mater. I actually need shades for this because I'm talking billionaire status. Okay?
DJ Envy
Put the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. I want you to look like Mary J. Blige, and I'll be able to see my notes lure him all the time that I was loving you, you. Yes.
Lauren LaRosa
All right, so yesterday it was the 2026 billionaires list came out, per Forbes, and Dr. Dre is now on that list. He joins the likes of Jay Z, Rihanna, Beyonce, and a ton of other people. Now, this is a super, super long list. Dr. J is tied for three. Number 3332. Dr. Dre. Dr. Dre. That's what I said. Dr. J. J. I said doctor. Okay, I heard J. Oh, my God. It's the glasses on the world's richest list. So again, he. Rihanna's on that list. Jared Kushner. There's a. There's a ton like Kushner.
DJ Envy
Oh, yeah. No, he should be a billionaire.
Lauren LaRosa
It's on the list.
DJ Envy
They've been getting rich in that Trump administration.
Lauren LaRosa
And of the 22 billionaire entertainers that Forbes has identified, nearly half of them were added in the last three years. And Dr. Dre, like I just mentioned, he. He becomes one of the six. He is the sixth musician added to the list. Taylor Swift is also there. Bruce Springsteen, and I told you guys about Jay Z, Beyonce, and Rihanna. Um, now people, how did Dre get there, though?
DJ Envy
Because I know that Dre sold Beats by Dre. He's Beats by Dre. And they got cash and stocks for that. But I know he sol his stocks back like four or five years.
Lauren LaRosa
So according to what I'm reading, so he. In 2014, he sold to Apple Beats by Dre, and he owned approximately 25% of the company, resulting in a huge payout.
DJ Envy
650 million in cash.
Juvenile
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
And then 1 million shares of Apple. They list Aftermath Entertainment, him as the founder and CEO, and they talk about some of what the label did, and they talk about the consistent revenue that that generated. Then they talk about his branding and marketing acumen, and they talk about some of the work that he. He did with Jimmy Iovine and how he used celebrity endorsements to turn. They go back to Beats into a luxury fashion forward brand rather than just a tech product. Then they also talk about a lot of his music ventures. So early success on the as an actual music artist, music publishing, royalties, producing albums, Death Row, yes, they talk about all that stuff as well too. And then they talk about initial investments. So before Apple, they talk about in 2011, he did a deal with HTC where he bought 51% stake or HCC brought a 51 stake in Beats for $300 million, which also provided significant capital. But I mean there, there's a ton of different conversations around this as well too about. Because I know there were like the, I saw the celebrity net worth article where they mentioned like the divorce that happened with him and money being taken away from there, but these are the things that I'm being seen listed.
DJ Envy
So he would, you know, it's so funny. He would have got there a lot faster if he hadn't sold that $1 million, those 1 million shares of Apple. Because Apple did a 4, 1 stock split in 2020. And it's from the celebrity net worth article. And if he still had those 1 million shares, they instantly would have became 4 million shares. And Apple stock trade at 260 per share. So that's like a billion dollars.
Lauren LaRosa
When that deal happened, I think it was like 2014. He had said then he was like, Forbes has to update the billionaire list because there's a new one coming to the list. And then it didn't happen yet. So yeah. Yes. Now in other news, speaking of Rihanna. So yesterday the DA's office in LA, they held a press conference because Ivana Ortiz, who was the woman who shot at Rihanna's home, was officially charged and she saw a judge yesterday, she was officially charged with a couple things. So she was charged with one count of attempted murder, nine counts of assault with a firearm, two counts of shooting into an incident into an inhabited dwelling, and one count of shooting at a motor vehicle. Now there are some things that need to be cleared up here because there have been so many reports on sources and I told you guys that police wouldn't confirm anything. Like everything that I was seeing. I was asking is this real or not? And they would not say anything. The DA's office went into more detail because now they have the charges position and they know what they can actually take her to court on. So let's take a listen to them explain the charges. And I want to make sure that we point out that that camper that was on Rihanna's property, the D A revealed yesterday that asap, Rocky and Rihanna were actually in the camper at the time that that happened. So let's take a listen to in
DJ Envy
the time of the shooting.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. Let's take a listen to the D A giving more details.
Charlamagne Tha God
The charges that have been filed against Ms. Ortiz include one count of attempted murder, 10 felony counts of assault with
Caller Sherrod Johnson
a semi automatic firearm, and three felony counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling

or camper in that residence. Rihanna was there with her partner, her three children, her mother and two staff people. In addition, Ms. Ortiz is accused of firing at a neighboring residence that had two additional individuals and there are three

we know parents want to feel confident as their teens navigate social media With Instagram teen accounts, teens get automatic protections by default. Teens between the ages of 13 to 17 are automatically put into a protective experience. That means they get built in content settings for what they see, contact limits on who can contact them, and time management tools like daily time limit reminders, as well as Sleep Mode, which mutes notifications from 10pm to 7am plus teens under 16 need a parent's permission to change any of these settings to be less strict. Instagram continues to work on building new safety features to help create age appropriate experiences for teens.

There are actually two dwellings at Rihanna's residence.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
There's a Airstream camper in which two
Charlamagne Tha God
individuals were located, as well as a
Caller Sherrod Johnson
house on that property.
Charlamagne Tha God
And then there was the neighboring property. The two people that were inside the
Caller Sherrod Johnson
Airstream were Rihanna and her partner, Rakim Mayor.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, so that was originally, it was reported that Rihanna was home, and then it was like Rihanna was home with her children. But then they said ASAP wasn't there. Not only was Rihanna home, but as you guys just heard, her mother was there. Some of her team members were there, her children. But her and ASAP were in that camper. In the camper. There are now photos circulating. I saw ABC put out some photos yesterday of the shots that actually hit the camper. So wait, what.
Jessica
What's the camper? That's like a.
Lauren LaRosa
It's like an rv. Yeah, it's like a cool rv.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like the metal Airstream is.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, yeah.
Jessica
Right out in front of her house.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. Rihanna, ASAP had did this, like, drive up the coast that they had talked a lot about, like, a couple years ago, and it was parked outside of her home. Yeah. So, okay. Yeah. So the update there,
DJ Envy
God, was with ASAP and Rihanna and they.
Mannie Fresh
God bless them, man.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes.
DJ Envy
That could have been very bad.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. Yes. And Ortiz, or Ivana Ortiz, her new bail is set at $1.8 million in 10 million something. It was. But yesterday, once they announced the actual charges and what they have evidence on, it's now at 1.8.
Juvenile
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
There's no way she should have a bond.
Lauren LaRosa
Listen.
Juvenile
No way.
DJ Envy
I'm just talking the Bond still at 10, and that's what she has to pay to get out because, you know, sometimes.
Lauren LaRosa
No. Yesterday it was announced that her Bail amount is now set at point. $8 million. It's actually $1 million. And her new arraignment will be scheduled for March 26th. She waved her right to a speedy arrangement yesterday.
DJ Envy
She should not have a B after what you just told me. They need to double her or they need to double it from 10 to 20.
Charlamagne Tha God
They need to pull it.
Jessica
Don't give her one.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, there's no way she should have a bill.
Jessica
Crazy.
DJ Envy
But she also needs to be in some type of psych ward too, because clearly she. Clearly she suffers from some. Some type of mental illness. She sound very skipped friend from the video I heard.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Mimi Brown
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, that'll. That's it for the latest. And I'm sure there will be more here, so we'll keep you guys updated.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right? Now when we come back, we got front page news. And then Juvenile and Manny Fresh will be joining us. 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 to some front page news. I want to start off with some quick sports. Last night, my son called me. He was at the Miami Heats game. He was so excited because Bam Adebayo scored 83 points.
DJ Envy
Bam was out there playing like he was playing for Asia's heart. You hear what it's like? Asia hit him like, yo, you know, let's play a game of one on one. You know what I mean? You play for my heart. And he went out there and balled out. And everybody giving them flack. They like, yo, he went to the free throw line. 40.
Charlamagne Tha God
They were fouling ish out of him.
DJ Envy
That's what I'm saying.
Charlamagne Tha God
They didn't want him to.
DJ Envy
You can only take the shots that you're giving. If you get to the center of the line 40 something times, you got to go make those shots. 83 points is 83 points. That's impressive.
Charlamagne Tha God
Either way, he beat Kobe's record. Kobe, of course, had 81 points, so he beat Kobe. So he's the second highest scoring behind will, who had 100 points.
Juvenile
I don't know him.
Jessica
Is he new? Is he a rookie? Bam.
Charlamagne Tha God
He's been in league for a while. I played for Miami. He's big brother. He's dating Asia Wilson.
DJ Envy
Asia Wilson.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, okay.
Jessica
Okay, cool.
Charlamagne Tha God
She don't know. She said, I know Asia Wilson.
Jessica
I know a man, too. Yeah, I just didn't know that that was him.
Charlamagne Tha God
But he scored 80.
DJ Envy
I do want to say Kobe's 80 was different, though, because if I remember that game correctly, they were down at the half and he like, they were down by like 20 something points. And he had to come out and ball.
Ad Read / Announcer
Yeah.
DJ Envy
And I think he scored like 55 in the second half winning the game. His. His 81 was different.
Charlamagne Tha God
Still. 83 is 83. That's 83 points. That's a lot of points. What's up, Mimi?
Mimi Brown
Good morning. How y' all doing this morning?
Juvenile
Good.
Mimi Brown
Good morning. So we start this hour with a major new development in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. So authorities in New Mexico, they are now searching a massive ranch once owned by Epstein, a property that until now had never been searched by federal investigators. So this search, it comes after newly released Epstein files revealed a disturbing tip after year, after several years. So in 2019, a local New Mexico radio host, he received an email claiming that two girls may have been buried somewhere in the hills near the ranch on orders from Epstein and an associate referred to as Madam G. That claim, it had never been verified, and it's still unclear whether investigators ever looked into it at the time. And the radio host says the message appeared to come from someone connected to the ranch, and he forwarded that message to authorities, but the email later bounced back. Investigators have not confirmed those claims, but officials say they are now examining property leads and following the evidence wherever it goes. So that property is known as Zorro Ranch. It is a 7,600acre compound right outside of Santa Fe. It's where several women have long accused Epstein of sexually abusing them when they were minors. And one of those accused, her name is Annie Farmer. She says she was a teenager when Epstein assaulted her there in 1996. Let's listen. I was 16 years old when I
Lauren LaRosa
was flown to New Mexico to spend a weekend with Epstein and Maxwell that
Mimi Brown
same year, 1996, my sister Maria Farmer,
Lauren LaRosa
reported what happened to me there, along
Mimi Brown
with reporting her own assault at their
DJ Envy
hands and their theft of sensitive photos
Lauren LaRosa
of her son, herself, of me and
Mimi Brown
our younger sister that she had taken
Lauren LaRosa
for her work as a figurative painter. I am now 46 years old.
Mimi Brown
Thirty years later, we still do not know why that report wasn't properly investigated
DJ Envy
or why Epstein and his associates were allowed to harm hundreds, if not thousands
Lauren LaRosa
of other girls and young women.
Mimi Brown
Yeah, well, state investigators, they say the search of that property is ongoing and turning really quickly to another case. You know, these, these days, a lot of people are using chat GPT for a lot of answers, help writing emails, planning a trip, or asking everyday Questions. But in a disturbing new case out of Tennessee, prosecutors say, and a former NFL player, he used the chat box for something very different. Asking it what to do after he found the body of a woman inside of his home. So, former NFL linebacker Darren Lee, he was the first round draft pick back in 2016. He's now charged with first degree murder in the death of his girlfriend, Gabriella Perpetuo. Investigators say Lee sent messages to the AI chat box a few days before her body was discovered inside their home. And in those messages, he asked the chat box if his, you know, how his girlfriend could have stabbed herself or what to do if she wasn't responding. And in other messages, he asked what he should tell a friend who wanted to call the police. Now, those conversations, they were shown in court this week.
Ad Read / Announcer
Week.
Mimi Brown
Where prosecutors laid out their case. And they said that he was using Chat GPT as a legal advisor. Let's listen.
Ad Read / Announcer
He has conversations, dozens of conversations back
Lauren LaRosa
and forth with Chat GPT over a two day period about what he did to Gabriella Perpetua in detail.
Ad Read / Announcer
He asks how to cover it up.
Lauren LaRosa
He asks what to say to 911.
DJ Envy
Now, if I'm the FBI, right, and you know, you monitoring all these sites like Chad GPT, as soon as I see somebody type something like that in, I gotta pay you a visit.
Jessica
Yeah, well, just so stupid.
Charlamagne Tha God
But I also wonder, can. Can Chat GPT just, I guess, alert the authorities?
DJ Envy
Probably do.
Jessica
It's certain.
Juvenile
Yeah.
Jessica
Yeah.
Mimi Brown
Well, that's a great question because a lot of people were asking that. They said that now, you know, Chat GPT, they're pointing out that it is not privileged information, that it is a third party platform. When you sign the waiver, you sign all your privacy away. So people are using it. As a lawyer asking questions like that. All that information is public, all of it.
DJ Envy
Might as well call it chat FBI. Only thing they gonna get on me is like me Googling how. Like I'd be asking how to make my penis bigger. Stuff like that. It's random stuff.
Jessica
That's wild.
DJ Envy
I mean, just random.
Jessica
That's expected.
DJ Envy
I mean, not because I know you can't, but you know, you just be thinking like, right, what if Chat knows something? I don't know.
Jessica
But look, I know certain things that you ask. Like even on a sexual tip or whatever, it'll tell you that I'm not here for.
DJ Envy
For that.
Jessica
Like certain chat.
DJ Envy
Like you ain't paying for it. Then you got the basic kind, no, no, no, no. You ain't paying the fees per Month.
Jessica
No, for real. No, I am. I am paying for it. And Because I use it all the time. But I'm saying, like, they'll even tell you, no, I'm not supposed to do that. Like, I'm not meant for that or something that give you. Yeah, like, you ask about porn, you ask about sex.
Charlamagne Tha God
What are y' all asking?
Jessica
Yeah, like, you ask Chat GBT to talk to you dirty. They be like, nah, I ain't here for that.
DJ Envy
And why would you ask Chat.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why would you ask Chat GPT?
Jessica
Why would you ask how to stab? You know, how to get away with a stab?
DJ Envy
Like, I just asked again how to make my penis bigger. So here you go again. A lot of men ask this, so you're definitely not alone.
Charlamagne Tha God
Here you go again.
DJ Envy
The important thing is to separate what actually works, what has limited effect, and what is basically a scam. And then it gives me a bunch of things that can approve appearance.
Charlamagne Tha God
Go get this crazy body fat.
DJ Envy
Trim pubic hair, right? Improve erections.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, we got it.
Jessica
But if you say talk to me
Charlamagne Tha God
dirty, how do you want it to talk to you?
Jessica
You know, like. I'm just saying, you. I'm just trying to test the limits of what Chat GPT can do because it's scary and in some instances, businesses, and they'd be like, nah, like, I ain't.
Charlamagne Tha God
We.
Jessica
We not here for that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Chris only on the road for like a day. He'll be right back.
Jessica
It's not really for me. I just wanted to test the water.
DJ Envy
That's not gonna work in the court of law. I just want you to know that you're not gonna be able to say it wasn't really for me. No. This is what you asked Chad GPT man.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, all right.
Ad Read / Announcer
All right.
Mimi Brown
Well, getting really back to the case really quick. Lee says Lee is now being held without bond as they investigate more and go through all of those messages. Messages.
DJ Envy
So poor Mimi. I'm sorry, Mimi. Mimi just comes here so professional.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now back to the.
DJ Envy
And here she goes. She gotta listen to us and our food.
Charlamagne Tha God
Back to the case.
Mimi Brown

Charlamagne Tha God

Jessica

Juvenile

Charlamagne Tha God

Jessica
Okay.
Juvenile
I think they sent y'. All. Yeah, she's on the album. I think they sent you a bit full copy, but it's all good. I don't even know if the audio got right because I think guys said the first song was with bg and I was like, no, that ain't the first song.
Lauren LaRosa
The first song I think is Juvie Beverly.
Juvenile
Yeah, that's not the first song.
Charlamagne Tha God
And then it's drop the location and pay me back in.
Juvenile
Yeah, yeah, go ahead and say it, bro. Pay me back. I've been singing that song on stage, and by the time I get to the. The second hook, all the women is singing it. And I tell them, y' all, all us, so
Charlamagne Tha God

DJ Envy
You got BG and Birdman in their bag on this project too. Like, what do you. What is it about you that seems to bring out the best in them? Or do y' all just bring out the best in each other?
Juvenile
You. I'm competitive, you know, if you want to Say me. I always, always have been me and Manny. I don't know if people know. Me and this dude been warring in the studio from day one. I'm just competitive. I walk in the studio and say, I'm about to. I'm about to bust your ass. You better be ready. And when they. When we do songs together, they know that's how I feel, so they. They gonna be competitive with. With me.
Charlamagne Tha God
What got you to this point where I know a lot of times when artists get a little older, they're scared to put out music because they're scared that how it be received. Right. Because everything's a stream, everything's a number. But here it look like you ain't give a. About none of that. You just put on a beat.
DJ Envy
I'm gonna go in.
Juvenile
I really focused on my 9, 9 and my 2000s. Really. You know, I don't. I don't want to chase a fan. I just want to do good music and hopefully people accept it and like it. But I'm. I'm really not trying to chase a fan. I'm doing this for me and my people. That's it.
Lauren LaRosa
Even the way you was rolling out some of the new music, like, you would drop the videos on your Instagram, and then that would go crazy. So we all like, well, where is it? Where is it? Like, but you dropping it. Like. Like, Envy said a lot of times people hesitate. You just putting it out there. Like, I know y' all gonna want this here.
Juvenile
Boom.
Ad Read / Announcer
And they do.
Juvenile
Yeah. Am. You know what is the funny part is when I put that first date out that I was gonna release in October, people got mad at me when I put that album out. So I'm glad it's coming up out and it's coming out on my birthday. So we really gonna cut up Timeless.
Jessica
Y'.
Lauren LaRosa
All.
Jessica
Both of y' all sound like even your son.
Ad Read / Announcer
Every.
Lauren LaRosa
Every
Jessica
sound like you. Y' all ever stepped out of music or. Or took a hiatus or whatever. Like, you sound like you ain't never stop. I love it.
Juvenile
I. I really never stop. But the truth is just kind of scared to get in the studio listening to everything else that's going on. Yeah, I just was like, damn. I don't know if. If I could. I don't know if I could compete. But then I had to sit back and have. Have that. That. That. That reality check that tells me, nah, bro, you gotta. You gotta make music for you and your fans. You don't have to appeal to nobody else.
Lauren LaRosa
That's crazy to Hear. Cause the, the production of it sounds like, I mean, you weren't afraid of that either. Like, even on the Hot Boy Summer. And like the sample that you used there with the Debar sample.
Juvenile
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
It doesn't sound like you were afraid to get back in the studio or worried about competing at all. It's like you knew exactly what you wanted to kind of get into.
Juvenile
Shout out to my man C. Smith, too, for making that track. I really was scared.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
I was like, woo.
Juvenile
I'm not getting no money off this one. But, yeah, the album just came together. Manny. Manny did so much, so many great things. Outside of him just producing the tracks, the ideas, our ideas was flowing together to make this project what it is.
DJ Envy
What about you, Manny? I know you're not scared to get in the studio.
Mannie Fresh
Hell no. I mean, I'm trying to bring fun back, bro. You know, and our era was fun, you know, and, and you gotta, you know, it resonate when the song sound like that. People know the song is like, oh, well, this is really his personality. This is in somewhere. We got too cool to have fun, you know, so when I do it, I'm going, I'm gonna have fun, you know, it's gonna be some vodka and some juice. And I'm like, turn on the mic, you know? And he already, what's cool about juvie is he knows what I'm gonna do. Like, you know, and he ain't trying to say changing. He's like, bro, I know you gonna say some crazy ass or. And I'm like, that is the way I approach a song. And it resonates with our fans, I think. What, what he found out what, you know, like, he didn't figure out by us being on tour. When me and him went on tour, we got close to the fans. We did, and we. And we figured out, like, y' all really like the. That we do. Y' all don't want the new version of us. You know what I'm saying? Y' all don't need the new version of us. They just like, do what you do and we all right with it.
Charlamagne Tha God
But you gotta bring dancing back is what you bringing the. You gotta bring dancing.
Juvenile
And this album is dancing, specifically shaking your ass.
Charlamagne Tha God
Y.
Juvenile
Some of these cats can't dance with. I know I can't.
Charlamagne Tha God
I got two left foot. You can stand still and let it dance.
DJ Envy
When you get in the studio today, Manny, are you chasing nostalgia or are you trying to create a new sound? Are you just like, no, I, I,
Mannie Fresh
I had a long time of Doing that, trying to say, well, you know, this is what this sound like or whatever. And I'm like, this a headache trying to figure out some. That you already know how to do, you know? So I just had that moment of like, let me step back and. And real, real. I stopped listening to just new. You know what I'm saying? Because it's. It's nothing against it, but that. That's. That's they error that belongs to them. And I'm like, you know what? Let me go back to my era. Let me listen to some of the. That I love, like 8 ball MJG or whatever. Like, you know, and that right there was like, okay, this. This is still the same music, same chord, same format. And the reason why we like, like them songs like that so much, because they're easy, you know, and. And we. We've been using the same patterns for forever. We already know them. They're embedded in us. It's like hearing Marvin Gaye, you know, and you don't even know why. It's timeless. Why you like. Because it's simple and it's. It's the same that's been used in music for forever and forever.
DJ Envy
When y' all do the podcast, how does it feel talking to people that, you know, your lives are more interesting than.
Juvenile
Oh, man, go ahead.
DJ Envy
You had more success than. I'd rather hear you and Manny talk, man. Shout out to everybody.
Juvenile
Been on my podcast. We on our podcast and keep going.
Jessica
Whose idea was it to do still 400 podcast?
Juvenile
Well, it was a little bit of both of us and. And Dave too, you know, was. But Manny was the. Was the first one with the title. You know, I. I was lost with the title title. You know, I'm never good with making ties.
Mannie Fresh
You know, when people are like, well, what did you know? It came from Still Fly and, you know, 400 degrees, which is to me, one of the most popular song, like from the Big Timers to me is Still Fly. So I was just like, why not incorporate something that's both of us or whatever, like, you know, and. And it represents both of us. So that's where the name came from.
Juvenile
But our podcast is about fun, so we don't get on there. We don't want people even coming over there with their stresses or your beefs. We. We try our best to combat that. We want to get on there and just have fun. Talk about the funny things in your life. Talk about things that people may don't. Don't know about you. A lot of cats got. Got Some humor going on inside that they don't let people know. They never come out. They shell. So that's what we try to do on our show.
DJ Envy
Is the album Boiling Point? Is. Is it about proving something, or is it more about just documenting where y' all mind is today?
Juvenile
It's more like satisfying my fans and really feeding the hunger on myself and seeing if I could really do it. It's like an old cat saying, I still got it. I still got it. Y' all say. I'm like, yeah, yeah, that's what I need. But it's pretty much me, man. Just, you know, let. Letting my fans know where I'm at in life. I'm happy, you know, simple as that. I'm happy.
Charlamagne Tha God
How did you and Megan get up on that record for the bbb?
Juvenile
Well, people reached out to me, but, like, she was talking about the snippets. I put a snippet out riding. Riding in the car with just the one verse in the hook playing, and it went crazy. And the first. The first comments, all the comments was, megan need to be on this. I mean, with 90% of the comments, Megan need to be on this. Megan. So my thing was, okay, y' all go tell her. And they started going on page telling her. And they reached out to her, reached out for the song.
Lauren LaRosa
So what was happening with the date? Cause wasn't it, like, with that song specifically? It was, like, supposed to drop at one point, you and Megan's for her verse, and then you change the date. And it was upset.
Juvenile
I didn't have nothing to do with that. Only thing I changed the data on is the album releasing. They was upset about the album releasing. But the Megan part, we shocked them with. With that because they. They kept asking for it, but I never told them it was happening until like two days before it came out.
Charlamagne Tha God
Who's the young lady that was on it before Megan?
Juvenile
Her name is Genesis, the God. And she's cutting up on it. I didn't take her off the album for the record, too, because my. That's one of my son's friends, and she did a great job.
Charlamagne Tha God
She delivered it.
Jessica
It was fire.
Charlamagne Tha God
So do you go to your son more now?
Juvenile
Like, son, I go to my kids for a lot. My daughter runs my social media, so I'm not.
Lauren LaRosa
She does a good job.
Juvenile
Thank you.
Lauren LaRosa
Because it reaches outside of just.
Juvenile
Yeah, she. She. She. She is stuck on the al. I don't even understand it, but it's just.
Jessica
Son, one of the people that you talked to when you said at first you was feeling scared, like, about getting in the studio, making new music or whatever, because of everything that's out now. Did you talk to him about it?
Juvenile
So I'm with my baby boy, my. My youngest boy, almost every day of the week because he's a school teacher and I'm by his house. I'm just an aggravating parent. I'm always by his house. And my. My oldest son, a young juve. He's the one that's always like, telling me, pops, you should do this. You should do this. Try this. So, you know, it's kind of like I'm the kid again, you know, like they say, twice a child, twice a kid. It's kind of like they parenting me a little bit. And I just. I just listen.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
Yeah.
DJ Envy
I want to ask you, man, do you think the culture is ready to respect its elders the same way genres like jazz or blues did, or even rock and roll?
Mannie Fresh
I. I think we gotta knock down walls, bro. Like, it's. It's a rebirth of music for. For me in existence.
Juvenile
And.
Mannie Fresh
And the cool thing is that it's now or never.
DJ Envy
You know, we.
Mannie Fresh
We got a lot of. I won't call them old school. I'm gonna say seasoned artists that. That's like, they making good music, great albums. And it's. And you seeing the shift. You're seeing people like, oh, I really like this. Like, you know, it's got substance, it's got movement to it. So I think we gotta knock down doors, you know, we can't accept no more. When somebody does an interview and they say, I don't really rap, I just do this. Well, move out the way and let somebody who do it do it, you know? Know, because when. Because you got a lot of artists that do that, that say, like, ah, this ain't really my thing, you know? And I'm like, well, this. This really my thing. This is my bread and butter, you know, And. And I think we. We gotta knock down doors sometimes and shake things up.
Juvenile
Yeah.
DJ Envy
What you think?
Juvenile
For me? I. I don't. I try not to be so critical of the young cats, because I was that cat. And a lot of the older cats was calling. What I did wasn't rap. They said, that ain't rap. And I'm like, well, damn, bro. I'm taking care of my family. My records are selling. I'm selling more records. I. Than you. And we. I'm doing good. I'm doing good in. In my life. So who cares if it's rap or not? Like, if my fans, the fans see me a certain way, I don't even care what what another artist think about. So us as. So now at me being that older cat, I always stick my hand out to him. I always reach my arm out to him, and I always try to show them love. And I'm never gonna say nothing negative about them, because if. How do you want to see. Want to see him? You want to see him with a mic or you want to see him with that tool in his hand? You know, so, So I try to, I, I, I, I try to think like that and try to have an open mind about it, because we don't own this. And, and I don't see no other genre of music criticizing the youngsters. I don't see country doing that. I don't see rb. I don't see nobody else doing that. So I try to tell my cats and the cats that's older before me, like, we don't own it, bro. We don't have ownership. We don't have a union or something like that. That, that, that, that predicts how this, how this goes. So there's no rules. So stop trying to make a rule.
Mannie Fresh
Sh.
Juvenile
Man.
Mannie Fresh
How do you think we bridge that gap? How do you think we get this, this younger generation to respect, you know, the, the what. What came before them?
DJ Envy
Just keep making dope music. Like, you see what TI doing right now with the, with the. Let them know record. Like dope records are dope records that they transcend, you know, age. Like, you got the BBB joint right now. People. People loving the record. Yeah. I just think making, making dope music, because I was talking about that earlier with the younger generation, I feel like because of social media, they don't have, they don't get the real world experience. Yeah. To still be able to write well into their 40s, 50s, if that makes sense. Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
You got good OGs. Y' all do a really good job about talking about this type of stuff on the podcast. I remember it was a clip with David Banner that went viral, and he was talking about how y' all were trying to survive the industry at one point. So y' all didn't really get the chance to pass down the tools because you were surviving it.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
In a young generation of the music needs that.
Juvenile
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
And I, when I, I mean, I watched your show, but when I saw that, I'm like, this is why your podcast is going to be so gold, because of those type of conversations. Because now y' all in a space where y' all could do it.
Mannie Fresh
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
And that preserves it too.
Mannie Fresh
Yeah.
Juvenile
I think the good thing about it is it's not about us. Right. It's about the person that comes on and, and, and to the younger generation, I feel like, I feel like I'm a part of their generation also. I mean, I do music with the younger cats also. Photo Doug is one of my friend's son. Me and Rob, 49, just did an album together. So, you know, so when I run into young cats, I don't never treat them like that. I don't never say it. I don't care. I got my opinion. Whatever my personal opinion is of them, I keep it to myself because I was taught if you ain't got nothing good to say, don't say nothing at all. You ain't got to spend a night with that person. You got to be with them 24 7. So that's how I do. I try to spread the love and hopefully these cats will start seeing what I'm doing and, and follow some.
DJ Envy
What is it about New Orleans that still inspires y' all so much? Because I even hear that in Boiling Point culture, man.
Juvenile
It's our food, our language. We. Second line. We celebrate the dead. We. We live. We. We live to celebrate. We. We. Our. I'm talking about, man, it. You will never see nothing like New Orleans. It's never, it's. It's the only real 24 hour city in, in America. Everybody say they got 24 hour cities in it. The bars closed at a certain. You can't walk out the bar with your drink, drink, you know, don't sell alcohol at the gas stations. You don't have drive through liquor stores. We got all that. And we sell alcohol 24 7. If it's open, we selling it. If you had a bar, we don't have two o', clock, they say two o', clock, last call for alcohol. The bar open, you're drinking.
Mannie Fresh
Just imagine you, you, you got a crazy ass sibling or uncle or auntie that don't give a. About nothing that's going on with you that put you in your place. So it's a whole city that do that.
Juvenile
They don't give a.
Mannie Fresh
About, you know what I'm saying? Your success, they like, boy, sit your stupid ass down with all of that. And it keeps you grounded, you know what I'm saying? One of the, one of the sweet things about New Orleans, you, you, you will never be a star to New Orleans. And what I mean is they gonna always treat you well, you know, like, look look, bro, you one of us. We respect what you do or whatever, but at the same time, Popeye's chicken.
DJ Envy
That's what we.
Mannie Fresh
That's what we doing today. Ain't nothing special for your ass.
DJ Envy
Even at the height.
Mannie Fresh
Even at the height.
Juvenile
Well, we. I. We. We had, you know, we had our moments, but what we people saw so much in the city, like, New Orleans is small. Usually when you bump into somebody, the chances of seeing them again, like, at 100, you're gonna see them again. So down there, family members that you probably never met before in life. Wife lives right on the other side of the town, which is probably like 20. What, 20 miles, more or less.
Mannie Fresh
Probably 20 miles, yeah.
Juvenile
Total.
Mannie Fresh
I tend to run through that. That's it. We like to think we're a huge city.
Juvenile
15 minutes anywhere on the highway, you're out of there.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Juvenile
You know what I'm saying? So it's so small, so it's. It's well grounded. And the people just stick to what they know. They don't like to change. It's like a bunch of old people that don't want change.
Mannie Fresh
One of those things we. We had that, you know, we don't really ever get a chance to talk about, but one of the things that we had, like a lot of crews don't have. Our parents was death. Every. Every walk of the. That was going on. You know, our parents know each other. You know what I'm saying? My mama knew his mom. Like, when, you know, they, they, they, they. They hung out together. And, you know, if that. That was documented, you know, like, juvie daddy got. He took pictures of every.
DJ Envy
That.
Mannie Fresh
I'm like, I didn't even know he was doing this, like, you know what I'm saying? So I think we had a lot of that kept us grounded, too. Well, you know, like, if you went crazy, you know, his mama could tell me that. Because you respect her as an elder, she like, oh, you tripping. You got to stop with that.
Juvenile
You doing.
Mannie Fresh
You know what I'm saying?
DJ Envy
I like how you say y' all celebrate the dead too. Because I always think about that when I see people nowadays who I'm smoking on such and such pack or whatever. Whatever. How y' all be feeling when y' all see that?
Juvenile
Well, that don't relate to me. I don't really understand that. I'm gonna be honest with you. When they. I don't get that. So they gotta explain that part to me, because I don't really understand it. But in New Orleans, instead of for us. Instead of mourning and, and thinking about, you know, you lost your per, you lost somebody that you really love, we think about the, the great things we did together and what they, what that person would have did if they were still here. And we try to celebrate those things. And that's why we call it, you know, second Line because the first line is the band and the second line is the people. And it's, it's all based upon we celebrate the dead.

Juvenile
And I, I, I. To be honest, I enjoy it because who wants to be moaning and frowned up and sad like, I, I get it when a person first died, but usually when a funeral occurs, that's like a week later, a week or two later. You should have been, you know, the
Mannie Fresh
craziest thing I've seen in a long time. Frankie Beverly. When he passed, how New Orleans mourned him.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Mannie Fresh
Oh, my God, it was insane. Like, you know what I'm saying? They really celebrated this man getting a
Juvenile
fight in New Orleans, a serious fight. Tell somebody Frankie Beverly ain't from New Orleans.
Charlamagne Tha God
Tell somebody.
Mannie Fresh
Amazed the whole group. We really feel like they.
Juvenile
We know they not tell them that. Like, he got kids, man. I go get my grandfather, right? Like, say, bro, that man from Philadelphia, man, we don't give. Nah, bro. Nah, brother. Funeral was here. He wasn't in the casket, bro. They had a all white, all white, the city down all white parade, and they made a casket, bro.
Charlamagne Tha God
He wasn't in it.
Mannie Fresh
He wasn't in it. Throwing that casket around like, he was in there. Second line and tossing it and everything.
Juvenile
And I was mad, mad I wasn't there.
Mannie Fresh
That's your uncle, you know what I'm saying?
Juvenile
Song of my album is called Juvie Beverly, right? Cuz everybody always. My. My guy Slab always called me Frankie Beverly for one reason. Ma is one of the only bands that he performed all the way up until he couldn't no more, right? Always stayed booked. And he. He say the same thing about me. Like, you, if you stay booked, you're like, God damn. Damn. You stay booked. You like Frankie Beverly. So I always looked at Ma as somebody that I wanted to be like. That's why I got a band, because I feel like they had the best band, that live band on stage. If you've never seen anybody perform, man, trust me.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
Yeah.
Juvenile
Nobody's touching them. And we miss them. We miss them in New Orleans. Take it. Take it to heart.

DJ Envy
We barely got the verses.
Juvenile
Hold up. I'm the biggest Lil Wayne fan. A. I don't know if you see me. I campaign all the time because I think Wayne is the greatest rapper of all time. I don't care who they say. I always put him at one. You know, when Wayne don't show up, you damn right I got a problem. You know, how we gonna do a cash money versus no limit? And I. We don't have our machine. We don't have our Uzi with us.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Juvenile
I was like, look, if Wayne don't do it, I ain't doing it. But my man Swiss B, shout out to Swiss Beats and Timberland. They called me and gave me a long. Gave me a long speech on why I should do it. And I thought about it. I said, you know what? I'm gonna go ahead on and do it. Especially when I found out what the reasons was my guidance show up.
Charlamagne Tha God
Sorry, fans.
Jessica
The fans.
Mannie Fresh
Yeah.
Juvenile
You know, but I wish we would have did it in New Orleans. So that's why still should be having it. We still. We still got more verses to do because it definitely should have happened in New Orleans.
DJ Envy
I agree. You switched that record after the verse. It the one on your album.
Juvenile
No, no, it was before the verse.
DJ Envy
Okay, okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
That record tough, too.
Jessica
This is what I can't wait for. I can't wait for the tour. Cause, look, yo, I was on. I've never seen nothing like this. I saw. I did a couple shows with you. I'm happy as hell that I got to do that. But I was at one of the stops, and they had messed up your sound. And you had a lot. You was headlining. So you did, like. You closed out the show. You were so mad. You was like, it. Y' all can just cut it off. And you performed the rest of your sound acapella in every box. Was singing with you. Like, everybody went crazy. This man performed, like, what, nine, ten songs without the music? And everybody was singing. I was like, oh, this is great.
Juvenile
Now, see, that's what I Need, you

So the outlet had an announced that their song Meg the Stallion and juvenile song BBB is now number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Juvenile

Lauren LaRosa
But the way that the outlet reported it, they just said Meg Thee Stallion has put female Rat back on the charts. And she corrected them. And she's like, let's talk about the legend who has inspired a lot of music. And she tagged Juvenile. She said this is his first time back on the chart since 2005, blessing us with that amazing NOLA style. Thank you for having me on your song. Now, what Megdas are you going to talk about?

I know you guys talked about this at the top of the show this morning, but I wanted to bring it back into the show. So bam. Out of bio and him scoring the 83 points to pass Kobe Bryant for second most points ever in the NBA game. So yesterday as all the congratulations are happening and it's all over our timelines, one of the things that I saw that I thought was so fire to see. Whereas people also talking about the fact that now him and Asia Wilson are the highest game scorers among all active WNBA players and NBA players.
Charlamagne Tha God
I think she has 53.
Mimi Brown
Right.
Lauren LaRosa
She has 53 points in the WNBA. South Carolina's own big Columbia in the NBA. So I have a clip from his post game conference where Asia Wilson sitting next to him and they were so cute the whole night. But let's take a listen to them.
DJ Envy
Came into this league as a As a defender and a lob threat, you
Juvenile
know, I really got emotional. It didn't hit me until like I
DJ Envy
hugged her and then I hugged my mom because those two. And then obviously my trainers, Ronnie Taylor,
Juvenile
Kevin Graves, even Karam Butler, you know,
DJ Envy
those are the emotional moments because they seen me, you know, at my lowest behind the scenes, at the bottom of the bottom, trying to out figure. Figure out how to really pick myself
Juvenile
up and, you know, to have this
DJ Envy
moment and share with all them. It's a pretty emotional moment. Like I said. I wish I could relive it twice. So this is. This is a special moment. It's wilt me than Kobe, which sounds crazy. It does. It sounds very crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Salute to him.
DJ Envy
But, you know, history was made. I like witnessing history. You know what I'm saying? Salute to bam. He was out there hooping. Like Asia said to him, I'll play you one game, one on one for your heart. Your heart. Yes. He was a.
Lauren LaRosa
When we were in the back prepping with the producers, I said, this is real life loving basketball. And our producer Brandon was like, it's so crazy how girls see sports. Like that was the first thing you said. I'm like, it's so cute. I love. No. Okay. Pay for your heart. Yes, yes.
Juvenile
Well.
Lauren LaRosa
And other cute sports.
DJ Envy
Can I say one more thing, though?
Charlamagne Tha God
Don't you do it.
DJ Envy
No. I just want to say that I wasn't around when the Internet was invented. Internet was born on January 1, 1983. We were here when the Internet was born, baby.
Charlamagne Tha God
I was here.
DJ Envy
Okay. We were here, baby. I just want to throw that out you to.
Charlamagne Tha God
That was it.
DJ Envy
I was here when the Internet was here.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm not as shocked anymore. But when you first said that to me, I was like, whoa, I'm sitting with living history.
Jessica
You know what?
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm sitting with living history.
DJ Envy
Jesus.
Charlamagne Tha God
But we weren't around with dinosaurs, so I just. If my daughter's listening this morning, I wasn't around when dinosaurs were hitting.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, as we wrap the hour yesterday in other sports, couple news. So the conversation about Travis Kelce and whether he was going to play another season or no has been happening. And he actually spoke out yesterday on the Pat McAfee show and he talked about how Taylor Swift was his motivation to do a 14th season. Let's take a listen to Travis.
DJ Envy
Kelsey, you watching her do her thing and continue to move and move and move and work. Is that certainly helped you think through
Charlamagne Tha God
this process of like, do I still want to go?
DJ Envy
I'm getting older body doing that. Do you think that is kind of without a doubt?
Juvenile
Yeah, without a doubt. She has.
DJ Envy
We share the same love for what we do, and we've had this desire since we were kids. It's amazing to see her keep going to the table, keep finding. Finding new things to write about, keep finding, you know, new melodies and things like that. And on top of that, still seeing her have that love and joy in what she does, of course that's motivated. That's motivating for anybody to see, let alone, you know, my fiance. And. And knowing that I'm going through something where I'm trying to figure out exactly what the future holds for me, something like that definitely motivates me to say, you know what? I'm. I'm not done either. Yes, you are. Listen, Travis. Travis, listen to me. Listen, listen. Don't compare yourself to Taylor Swift. Swift? No. Okay, I looked this up right In Taylor Swift's 14th year in the industry, okay, that was October 2019, 2020. She put out her seventh studio album, Lover, and a surprise eighth studio album, Folklore. I know both of them probably did a million in a week. Okay, you ain't about to have that kind of season.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, he's not. No, no, he's not.
DJ Envy
You're not having that kind of.
Charlamagne Tha God
He gonna play.
DJ Envy
Yeah, you're gonna be out there. Yeah, he'll be out there. But don't compare yourself to tell. But he ain't got.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, he ain't got. Now you're not gonna do a bam Score.
DJ Envy
Let's keep things in reality here. Let's keep things in the proper perspective. You can go back out there.
Charlamagne Tha God
He'll play.
DJ Envy
But you ain't about to have a 14th year like Taylor Swift had her 14th year in the industry. Okay, look, that. How much. How much did Lover sell its first week?
Charlamagne Tha God
Because he looked like he was just surviving last year.
DJ Envy
That was her seventh studio album, her 14th year in the industry, because her debut album came out October 2006.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay, so according. Whoa. She sold over 800,000 units in the first week in the US alone. It was the. And then it bec became the only album to sell over 1 million pure copies in the u. S. When it released.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
Total worldwide, she sold over 7.9. I'm sorry. 7.5 million units. And as of 2020 24, it has surpassed 2 million pure album sales in the U.S. yeah.
DJ Envy
Patrick Mahomes ain't even playing next year. You ain't about to have that type of season. I don't even know what the equivalent to football season would be to what you just read. But no, that ain't happening. And she put out a surprise album that year called Folk folklore too.
Charlamagne Tha God
Let me find out.
Mannie Fresh
Taylor Swift fan.
DJ Envy
I'm not. I'm just looking. I looked this up when I thought about it cuz I'm like there's no he comparing this other Taylor. I need to see 14 view.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, he didn't have a great year last year.
DJ Envy
How much does folklore do?
Lauren LaRosa
Folklore. Folklore had massive commercial success. It sold over 1.276 million pure copies in the US by the end of 2020. It was that year's top selling album. In the first week. It sold over 2 million copies worldwide and over 1.3 million sold in the first 24 hours of alone. So basically from what I'm hearing, because you know, Bam and Asia was great motivation. He's in a great place. And then Taylor Swift, Travis. I'm talking about the difference in the motivation. Travis Kelce is telling is motivated to get back in and. And y' all saying he should complicate this.
DJ Envy
I can confidently say Travis Kelce's 14th year in the league will not be like Taylor Swift's 14th year in the industry. You said I can confident didn't say that.
Charlamagne Tha God
You still got a crush on Kelsey?
Lauren LaRosa
No, I never had a crush.
DJ Envy
I thought he was cute.
Lauren LaRosa
Then he took the tims off.
Jessica
Yeah, when he was with Kayla, he
Lauren LaRosa
took the tims off. He started giving like lieutenant Kelsey and like it just wasn't my thing.
Jessica
Yo, Lieutenant Kelsey.
Lauren LaRosa
It was different.
Jessica
Hilarious.
DJ Envy
All right, well, I put mad ashy.
Juvenile
Hold on.
Lauren LaRosa
I just put all this gold bar on his foot.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now when we come back, as soon as Charlemagne gives Laura some lotion, he'll
DJ Envy
tease the donkey crust on the side.
Lauren LaRosa
Who you giving that dunky like a piece of bread.
Charlamagne Tha God
How much crust you got on there?
Lauren LaRosa
First of all, ain't no crust. Oh, it wasn't.
DJ Envy
I need Jesus. I need somebody great grandfather named James Earl Johnson to come to the front of the congregation.
Charlamagne Tha God
We like to have with you that
DJ Envy
man name is James Earl Johnson. We'll discuss for after that.
Charlamagne Tha God
You are the crust finder. You going find crust on somebody. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

Caller Sherrod Johnson
Today, could you use that donkey thing?
Charlamagne Tha God
It's time for Donkey of the day
Lauren LaRosa
for being toxic.
DJ Envy
They made me the duck me up
Mannie Fresh
today by the things that I said.
Juvenile
Damn, Charlemagne.
DJ Envy
Some donkey today just saw himself.
Charlamagne Tha God
It was you.
Jessica
What accountability.
Lauren LaRosa
Are you taking me off guard?
DJ Envy
I'm not making I dunk you today on the Breakfast Club.
Juvenile
That being said, I want to start off with this donkey right here.
DJ Envy
Donkey of the day for Wednesday, March 11th goes to a 46 year old Houston man named James Earl Johnson.
Juvenile
Black.
DJ Envy
Guess what race it is? It will not be needed today.
Juvenile
Okay?
DJ Envy
That is one of the blackest names I've ever heard in my life. All right? This man is named after somebody's great, great grandfather. Okay? He sounds like he was a custodian in a high school when they ended segregation in America in 64. Okay. A James A. Earl and a Johnson. I know he done got denied for a loan quite a few times. Okay? Probably discriminated against during a hiring process. Processor two. I know he didn't get a call back. You know, studies show people with black sounding names get 50 fewer callbacks than identical resumes with white sounding names. So I know James Earl Johnson wasn't getting no callbacks. But anyway, James Earl Johnson. How is he not James Earl Johnson iii. Okay, that name is too old to be the first. Okay? But anyway, James Earl Johnson has been arrested and charged with abusing his wife. Okay. His wife is disabled, and investigators are saying he held his disabled wife captive. Captive inside their home for years. What do you mean, Uncle Charlotte? He held his disabled wife captive for years. Well, let's go to ABC13 for the report, please. From the outside, looking in what some might consider a dream home. But police say for one woman, the house at Crown Ridge Court was in fact a house of horrors. Investigators say the 46 year old woman who's disabled, was allegedly held captive in a bedroom for five years by her own husband, James Johnson. James Earl Johnson arrested Friday morning, but is since bonded out of jail with an order to stay away from the victim and the house where the couple's children also reside. It's here. Court documents say the victim was held under lock and key with no phone access. Finally, Friday, police say her husband left a phone on the nightstand which he used to call 911. But police say Johnson cut the call. She short, slapping his wife and carrying her back to bed, then hanging up on the 911 dispatcher.
Ad Read / Announcer
You've got a woman who's being held captive, and that is a pure form of coercive control, which is a form of abuse.
DJ Envy
James Earl. Mr. Johnson. Why? Why? You know. You know, years ago, Larry King, the great Larry King, rest in peace to Larry King, he said to me, you know, Charlemagne, the greatest question you can ask in an interview is why? I think that's the greatest question to ask in life. You know, I've. I've been going to therapy for a solid decade now. And that is what I'm always trying to get to the root of the why of things. Why did I react this way? Why did this trigger me? Why did I behave like this in this moment? So it makes me ask that question of other people often. And for James Earl Johnson, that's the question. Why? Why couldn't James Earl Johnson just get a divorce? Why couldn't he just break up with his wife? What made him treat his wife the way Helen treated Charles in Diary of a Mad Black Woman? Okay? Was Diary of a Mad Black name, okay, did y' all try mediation? Did y' all try legal separation? Was there any exit strategy discussed at all? Not even discussed with each other? Did you have a meeting with yourself, James Earl Johnson? Okay, I'm just trying to figure out why you thought captivity and torture was the best course of action here. I can't believe I have to say this on Breakfast Club this morning, but leaving a spouse rather than mistreating them is always the better option, okay? It's way more ethical than leaving in her. Leaving her in a room like he did with a single egg to eat and giving her dinner one time a day. This woman had to call 911 when her husband, James Earl Johnson, accidentally left a phone on the nightstand. This would be Tyler Perry's version of Misery. Okay? I was born in 1978, so I remember the movie Misery from the 90s when Annie held Paul Castle captive. This is that, okay? At least in the movie Misery though, we knew the why. Because Annie was an obsessive fan. There was no reason for James Earl Johnson to be doing what he was doing to his wife other than pure evil. Okay? Just leave her, bruh. Divorce her. All right? Any expert you ask, any counselor you ask will tell you that no one deserves to be treated badly. And staying in a miserable or harmful situation often causes more long term damage damage than leaving. Is this story not proof of that? Is this story not proof that those experts and counselors are correct? Please let Remy Ma give James Earl Johnson the biggest Hee haw.
Charlamagne Tha God
He ha hee haw.
Lauren LaRosa
You stupid.
Jessica
Are you dumb?
DJ Envy
And this is why you can't have the wrong man providing for you, okay? We've been having that Discussion for, like, the past week. Right. Didn't somebody call up here this morning?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, somebody called up this morning. Well, thank you for that donkey today. But somebody called this morning, and. And this is what he said earlier today during. Get it off your chest, man.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
I'm getting on my chest. It was a conversation y' all had last week with. It was. And Kiki Palmer about how younger women were dating older men. And my wife and I were talking about it and something that Lauren LaRosa said and Charlamagne said that really sat with her. Lauren LaRosa said when she was younger, her parents or her mother would tell her to get of somebody who provides for her. And then Charlemagne had said, well, she was probably talking to your older version of yourself. And, man, that really sat with us because me and my wife are just sitting like, man, this is scary. Raising a daughter, because she was told the same thing, and it's just, man. And then just the mentality that. That men have when they tell younger women, like, you're mature for your age. What does that even mean?
Charlamagne Tha God
Let's open up the phone lines. Let's have a discussion. 800-585-1051. Are you still giving your daughters the advice to. To take care of you?
DJ Envy
Yeah. Let that story I just told you about James Earl Johnson serve as an example. Okay? You teach your daughters, or you should teach your daughters to provide for themselves. And. And they can. Then. Then they should find a man that can match their hustle.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, let's talk about it when we come back again. 800-585-1051. You know, the advice, the common advice back in the day was find a good man who could take care of you. I mean, that's what Lauren's mama told her. Just that's what your mom and dad told you to.
Juvenile
No.
Charlamagne Tha God
No. All right, well, we'll discuss when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Daddy.
Mannie Fresh
Calling my phone calling.
DJ Envy
It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lola Rose is here as well. If you're just joining us, we're asking, are you still giving your daughters the advice to find a man to take care of you? This morning, a gentleman called during. Get it off your chest. And this is what he said.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
Man, I'm getting on my chest. It was a conversation y' all had last week with. It was Emitovato and Kiki Palmer about how younger women were dating older men. And my wife and I were talking about it and something that Lauren LaRosa said and Charlamagne said that really sat with her. Lauren LaRosa said when she was younger, her parents or her mother would tell her to get somebody who provides for her. And then Charlamagne had said, well, she was probably talking to your older version of yourself. And, man, that really sat with us, because me and my wife are just sitting like, man, this is scary, raising a daughter, because she was told the same thing. And it's just, man. And then just the mentality that. That men have when they tell younger women, like, you're mature for your age. What does that even mean?
Charlamagne Tha God
So we're asking 800-585-1051. Now, Lauren said earlier that that's what her mama told her.
Lauren LaRosa
My mom and my grandma get somebody that can provide, take care of you and bring that check home.
Charlamagne Tha God
Do you think that that was the sentiment? Cause your pops wasn't there.
Lauren LaRosa
I don't think it had anything to do with my dad. I think they just were like, you know, if I was going to get myself together, they wanted to make sure that I wasn't taking care of a man. Like, and that's kind of how my grandma has always been like that. Like, bring your check home. My mom has always been like, your man needs to be, you know, doing. Be able to do even if you could do for yourself. So I think they were trying to instill in me that if I'm giving myself a. My time to somebody or just whatever, building a family with somebody, I should have a partner. That's what they were trying to do. But at 14, 15 years old, I'm like, okay, provide for me. What do I need a ride? Who can drive older people? Like, you know what I mean?
DJ Envy
Like, the key word is partner. Like, that's why you should teach your daughters to provide for themselves. And then you tell them, find a man that can match your hustle. You know, Jay Z has a great line. If everybody in your click is rich, your click is rugged, nobody will fall because everyone can be each other's crushes, Right? It should be like that in a relationship, too, right? Like, if you got some, have somebody that. That's matching your hustle. You know, if you fall, then that person can be there to keep you, you know, afloat. And that's how it should be.
Juvenile
Now, what.
Charlamagne Tha God
What about you, Jess? What did your parents say?
Jessica
That's exactly what how my father raised me, you know, and what going off of what Lawrence said that was like, that was common back in the day. Because that's how my grandmother and my great grandmother, My great grandmother told my grandmother that. My grandmother told my aunt that, you know, my father's sister. But my father didn't teach me like that. My father always taught me to get my own, have my own, and have also a partner who can provide as well, just in case I fall short or he falls short. It's a union. It's together. Everything is, you know, 50. 50. You know, when you're married and building a family, you know, a man shouldn't. He can be responsible for everything, but you should always have an. Like, I don't want to make it sound like an exit plan, but you should be able to survive on your own.
Juvenile
You should.
Jessica
Should be able to sustain. That's what my father.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I think as a. As a father to four girls, I think, of course, it's always protect and provide, but also to teach. Right. To make sure that my daughter's never in a situation. Because you hear so many times where a woman wants to leave, but she can't leave.
Ad Read / Announcer
Right?
Charlamagne Tha God
Because she can't. Because she doesn't have the money to leave or she doesn't have her stuff set up to leave. So I try to make sure my kids are set up in their own. That.
Mannie Fresh
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like what Charlamagne said. Yeah, it's dope to have a partner that matches your fly, matches what you.
Juvenile
You do.
Charlamagne Tha God
But you have your own, just in case. And as a father, we should make sure our daughters have that or prepare to teach them how to get that or make sure that they never have to fall back on a man.
Lauren LaRosa
Fall back on pops. Moms can teach that, too, though. Like, my dad wasn't around.
Charlamagne Tha God
I am as a father. Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, my dad wasn't around enough to teach me all of that. But, like, my mom has been an entrepreneur my whole life. I've never seen her work for anybody. My grandmother is like, she's the go to. For everything for me. Like, she helped me get through college, and all of that was off of her putting up retirement money, investing in property. You know, like, I've learned that from them, but I think because they now both of them are. I've never seen them in a real relationship. My grandmother was married, divorced before I was even here. Right. I think the sentiment is just, like, understanding that you do need somebody and like, that somebody shouldn't take from you. They should also give. But I just don't think we know

Lauren LaRosa
I think it translated the best way to me when I was. Now that I'm older, I know what they talking about. But when I'm younger, to me, it's like no one my age is able to do all of what y' all telling me.
Jessica
And they learning too. Like when your mother was also younger. When you were younger, too. Yeah, you know what I mean? So they're learning in real time as well how to parent. And there's no manual for that. But I was dealing with older guys. Cause that's just what I wanted to do. My father was always there, like, it was just like the thing to do. It was very common in the hood. Cause that's where I grew up at. You know, I was like 16, dating N. S in their 20s. That's just what it was. It wasn't right, but that's what I did. And I had my father around. And my father. I could call him.
Charlamagne Tha God
Did you sneak? Did you sneak out or.
Jessica
He knew, most definitely. My father never knew. Never knew.
Lauren LaRosa
How you gonna know every minute what your child is doing?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I know what my daughters are
Jessica
all time because I was always locked down.
Charlamagne Tha God
When they go to school, when they go to dance. It's even me and my wife taking them. Now, of course, Madison is 24 years old and she's engaged. But when they're at 15, 16, I know exactly where they're at. I'm on there, I think my dad's a retired police officer, so I'm on my kids. But I'm also so part of their life that I know everything that's going on.
Lauren LaRosa
How they grow up, I think is a bit different too, because for me, I was so independent. Like, I was helping my mom at 14, 15. I'm working multiple jobs, so I'm moving around a little bit different, differently than I think how your kids? My mom, she. She knew where I was at, but, like, she knew I was.
DJ Envy
That's why you ain't got no.
Lauren LaRosa
Old enough to do certain things.
DJ Envy
Started falling out at an early age. But I also want to say this about men, right? We always say men. Our job is to protect and provide. I think you got to add a caveat to that. And that means protect and provide for your family.
Juvenile
Right.
DJ Envy
Not for every single woman you meet. Because everybody not going to be worthy of that. Right. If you. If you doing this family thing right, and, you know, you find your queen and y' all have a family, if you loving your wife the right way, then that's just going to be a natural thing to protect and provide for him. And I think it's a difference in providing, you know, and. And using what you have to control a person. I think a lot of times when you talking about just those older men who have means, use what they got to control those young girls, there's a difference when you find an actual partner, get married, have a family, and you're providing, fighting for her.
Charlamagne Tha God
But also, like you said, I also think it's a relationship you have with your kids. Right? Like, my daughter at 24 can call me if she gets a flat tire at 3, 4 in the morning. Yeah, she'll probably call me faster than her fiance, but I want her call dad.
Juvenile
Dad. Okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't care if dad is sleeping. If dad gotta go to work, dad will take care of family first. If I gotta come over there to help my baby girl out or help my son out, I am dropping everything. He's not Latino. He's not Latino.
DJ Envy
He definitely.
Jessica
Nah, he is.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, he's not. He's half black, half white. His mother, his father's black and black, Black, black, black.
DJ Envy
Determined to keep the population yellow, ain't y'? All?
Jessica
It's crazy.
DJ Envy
I mean, this is crazy.
Jessica
He looked like that.
DJ Envy
He looked like one of them.
Charlamagne Tha God
He's not Latino. He's black. You met his. You know what?
Jessica
You know, you're right. You're right.
Charlamagne Tha God
You met his mom.
Jessica
I didn't meet his lineage.
DJ Envy
Your mom white?
Juvenile
Yes.
Jessica
Yeah, she's very white.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, yeah, she's very white. She listens every morning. So say good morning.
Jessica
I'm more white.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's great.
Jessica
She's amazing.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hello? Who's this?
Lauren LaRosa
Good morning. It's Siobhan from Detroit.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, Siobhan. What up, Doe? Now we can hear you. Talk to us. What's your thoughts, Mama?
Lauren LaRosa
Good morning.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
I didn't catch everything that Charlamagne said. However, I caught the very end.
Lauren LaRosa
And I agree with what you said. I have three daughters and I was
Caller Sherrod Johnson
taught my mother is old school.
Lauren LaRosa
My mother looks for a provider and a man. And that's not.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
I'm not judging anyone. However, I've been very independent since I was 14.
Lauren LaRosa
I've been told by several men that I've dated that I'm too independent. I'm too masculine. However, the guys that have been the
Caller Sherrod Johnson
providers have said, I paid a cost to be the balls and I can run over you. I think both parties should come to the table as equals, and you should
Lauren LaRosa
be able to match each other's energy.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
I'm teaching my daughters to have your own. If you get a man that wants to be a provider and wants to do that, that's fine. However, always have your own.
Jessica
That's right.
DJ Envy
You hear what she just said? That proves my point. It's a difference in providing and using what you have to control them. A lot of these guys that got means are just using what they got to control women.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right.
DJ Envy
Instead of actually providing for this woman because that's your queen. Because y' all raising a family together. It's a difference.
Charlamagne Tha God
If you're just joining us, we're asking 800-585-1051. Are you still giving your daughters the advice to find a man to take care of you? This conversation comes from a gentleman caught that called this morning.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
Let's listen, man, I'm getting on my chest. It was a conversation I had last week with. It was Emmy Novato and. And Kiki Palmer about how younger women were dating older men. And my wife and I were talking about it and something that Lauren LaRosa said and Charlamagne said that really sat with her. Lauren LaRosa said when she was younger, her parents or her mother would tell her to get somebody who provides for her. And then Charlamagne had said, well, she was probably talking to your older version of yourself. And, man, that really sat with. Because me and my wife are just sitting like, man, this is scary raising a daughter because she was told the same thing. And it just. Man, and then just the mentality that. That men have when they tell younger women, like, you're mature for your age. What does that even mean?
Charlamagne Tha God
Let's go to the phone lines. We have Nisha. Nisha, good morning.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
Good morning.
Lauren LaRosa
How you doing?
Charlamagne Tha God
How you feeling this morning?
DJ Envy
Good morning, Nisha.
Juvenile
Good morning.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
I'm doing good.
Juvenile
Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
Are you still giving your daughters the advice? Well, do you give your daughters the advice to find a man to take care of you?
Caller Sherrod Johnson
No, I don't.
Lauren LaRosa
I don't have a daughter. I have a son. But anyway, my parents just always taught me to hustle.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
Get it on your own. If a man come along, he can
Lauren LaRosa
either match you or have more than
Caller Sherrod Johnson
you because you could do bad by yourself.
Lauren LaRosa
You don't really need. I Don't need help struggling, you know what I'm saying?
Caller Sherrod Johnson
So if you are going to have a significant other or if you are dating a least be able to bring match or do more, you know.
Charlamagne Tha God
True.
DJ Envy
The do more part is important. You know, that's what I say. You know, you should match. But what you're saying is important. Either match or do more. Because you know, if you can do more and you can hold it down to where, you know, you a stay at home mom and, you know, you the CEO of the house, that's beautiful. But if not, you know, at least. At least match the hustle.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
Yeah, definitely.
Lauren LaRosa
And then you help me, I help you.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
You know what I'm saying?
DJ Envy
That's right.
Mannie Fresh
Absolutely.
Lauren LaRosa
But I don't need nobody draining me.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
And take it from me, I can, like I said, I can struggle by myself.
Lauren LaRosa
I can be hungry by myself, I
Caller Sherrod Johnson
can be homeless by myself. I don't need you to help me, you know?
DJ Envy
Praise be God.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hello? Who's this?
DJ Envy
Jehovah. So good.
Lauren LaRosa
Hey, it's Adele.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, Adele. Talk to me. What's your thoughts, Adele?
Caller Sherrod Johnson
Good morning from Breakfast Club. Well, my thoughts on this so far on the prompt is I would not. I don't agree with telling your daughter to find someone that you depend on.
Lauren LaRosa
I was raised by my father as
Caller Sherrod Johnson
a single parent from 3 months old to 31 because he passed away away. And he never taught me to depend on anybody. However, my mom, she used to always tell my sister to depend on somebody. Now my sister got five kids with no man.
Lauren LaRosa
I would never.
Caller Sherrod Johnson
I could never. I listened to my dad. He told me to not depend on man. And that's exactly what I did.
DJ Envy
I think you should teach your daughters to provide for themselves. And if they find a man, hopefully that man matches their hustle or has more. That's the. That's it. You want to be able to have your own or know how to go get your own in case you got to roll out.
Jessica
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
Or in case the person you with needs something to lean on real quick like that. In real relationships, I feel like at that point, that's when y', all, like, together, together for real.
Juvenile
But.
Charlamagne Tha God
But I also think it's what you. What you see as a child too. Like you said, you. Your mother had properties. Your mother did invest. Your mother did have things. When I would look at Gia's mom, Gia's mom was the same way. When I met Gia, Ghia was working and having our own. We came together. But they need to see that if they don't see that or you don't talk about it. They just. They'll never see.
Lauren LaRosa
You know what, too, though? Like, one of the things that I love about being here with y' all and hearing y' all talk about y' all marriages and stuff, and I'd be asking a lot of questions is because I've never seen my mom in a relationship, like, ever. The only interaction I've ever seen her have is, like, with my brother's dad or with my dad here and there or whatever. And it's not consistent. So I've had to very early teach myself what a real partnership even looks like. For real, because she can't. There's certain things she doesn't even really like. She's never done it, you know? So, like, even when I was in college and my boyfriend at the time was a college student, I remember having to sit her shut up. I remember having to sit her down and be like, give him a chance because you're upset that he doesn't have this, this, this, and this. But, like, we're headed to college. She was right about him. But I think it wasn't even just about him. It was about, I'm in college and I want to be able to meet somebody I can build with. She didn't understand that. She's like, so y' all gonna be broke for all these years and what you're gonna do, be calling me for money? No, if you have a boyfriend, you shouldn't have to call me for money.
DJ Envy
Right.
Lauren LaRosa
But we were in college and I, you know, so I had to kind of like teach myself.
DJ Envy
It could be that you in college to make your own money, though.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes, it is that. But my mom's issue was you are. You're grown enough to decide you want to be with a man. Why are you calling home if this man is. Y' all are living. Y' all are together.
Jessica
Y' all are also how she was raised.
DJ Envy
You know what I mean?
Jessica
My mom doing the best that she
Lauren LaRosa
had with her daughter.
DJ Envy
Sweat on you said you let that
Charlamagne Tha God
man sweat on you.
DJ Envy
He should be paying your bills, putting things in your mouth, all types.
Lauren LaRosa
It's been multiple situations where my mom's thing is, if you are. Especially if you living with somebody and y' all are. You grown and y' all making grown up decisions.
DJ Envy
Y' all shacking up.
Lauren LaRosa
Exactly.
DJ Envy
Y' all shacking up and you can't even take care of.
Lauren LaRosa
You shouldn't have to call me. Y' all should figure that out together.
DJ Envy
And if you.
Lauren LaRosa
And if you Call me. Let's have an honest conversation about what's happening in your household because you are living with someone that is doing another, like, in my, like, 19. Yeah. For a long. Not grown. I wasn't grown. I've been. My mom has been very. It was her best.
DJ Envy
You were giving out all that milk, and that man wasn't buying that cow. And the only thing you did with the cow was turn this cow skin into some stupid ass shorts.
Charlamagne Tha God
Remember them?
DJ Envy
Stupid ass cow shorts and boots?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
Dumb boots is Jeffrey Campbell.
Jessica
But she turns you into a very independent woman.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I'm here. I didn't have.
Jessica
Always talk about, like, jobs that you always had. You always worked. Been independent. You are a flight attendant. Postal office worker.
Lauren LaRosa
I never worked in the post office, girl.
Jessica
Okay.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm not traumatized at all. But I think a lot of. Especially if you like the oldest girl in the family, you get there's a lot that's put on you that you have to kind of figure out sometimes on your own. And I'm just being honest about what I had to figure out.
DJ Envy
I do agree with your mama, though, because it's just like, yo, if you going to be giving out everything.
Jessica
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Shacking up with the man, just letting him sweat on you. Pornhub all the time. Yeah. He should be able to provide for you.
Jessica
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
How much could he provide, though? At age 19 to 20? He's in college too.
Lauren LaRosa
See, but that's. But at that time, I had made a conscious decision to not date older men, to not date men that were doing things they shouldn't have been doing. I was like, I want somebody who's, like, going to be okay in life. Like, college educated.
Charlamagne Tha God
But y both trying to figure it
Lauren LaRosa
out somewhere with a white man.
Jessica
Look at you. Is crazy.
DJ Envy
That man is happy with his white
Lauren LaRosa
woman, and I am happy with my black man. I'm in a great relationship, and I had to learn through all of the. What he couldn't do, what I couldn't do.
DJ Envy
And he can turn on Netflix every day and be like, I hit that. Bragging to all his boys. Like, I used to do her dirty. Don't you hate him? First of all, I used to be like, dirty crazy.
Lauren LaRosa
First of all, the moral story is
DJ Envy
don't talk about waiting Exhale Shaw. He don't care about all them designing names you be dropping. You don't care about none of that. I used to do her dirty.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's the moral of the story?
Lauren LaRosa
Don't tell Charlamagne your business right at all. Like, Ever.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yo salute to all the women out there that's grinding and making sure that their. Their kids and parents are making sure their kids are good. I always say my parent, my wife is the CEO of my household.
DJ Envy
That's right.
Juvenile
I don't even know.
Charlamagne Tha God
And I was just thinking, I don't even know none of my teachers, my kids teachers names.
Juvenile
Do you?
DJ Envy
Charlamagne.
Jessica
Damn.
DJ Envy
Me and my wife been together 26 years ago. So that's like, that's my everything. Literally known her her half my life, but you te more than half my life. Teach your daughters to provide for themselves and then you tell them, find a man that can match their hustle, period. That's it.
Juvenile
That's right.
DJ Envy
All right, you're on.
Charlamagne Tha God
Let's go to the latest.
DJ Envy
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. Details.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
DJ Envy
She be having the latest on biggest.
Charlamagne Tha God
The largest.
DJ Envy
The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest brought to you
Mannie Fresh
by Top Dog Law on the Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God
Talk to me.
Lauren LaRosa
All right, guys, so a quick update in the Britney Spears conversation in case you guys were looking forward. Her mug shot will not be released. The reason?
DJ Envy
White privilege.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, well, the reason why the Ventura County Sheriff's office is saying that they're not going to release it is because normally what they say is they only release mug shots when they deem a person like an immediate threat to the public and they want people to know,
DJ Envy
blah, blah, blah, blah, she's a celebrity. Let her have been anybody black. That mugshot would have been out the night of.
Lauren LaRosa
They said the charges being brought against Britney do not warrant release in accordance with the policy. So they are not releasing the mugs.
Charlamagne Tha God
How did they decide that?
DJ Envy
Because I thought I heard that about
Charlamagne Tha God
besides President Trump, everybody's mug shot usually gets released, right?
Lauren LaRosa
No, it's not everybody's mug shot. And it depends on your. The arresting agency because there's certain places where mug shots are not released at all. But, yeah, I've heard. I've done stories where I've tried to reach out for a mug shot and they're like, we're not going to release. So LA doesn't release at least the. I actually, no, they normally do. So this arresting agency normally does, but they decided that they're not going to. I did a story. I got a.
DJ Envy
Who was the person?
Lauren LaRosa
I'm literally. I'm going to look it up as we get into the next story. But I remember reaching out for the mug shot and them saying, we're not going to release it because they didn't deem this person a threat. And that was my first time of them actually saying it. Normally they're just saying, we're not releasing it.
DJ Envy
What does being a threat have to do with anything? We see mug shots for DUIs all the time.
Lauren LaRosa
Because what they're saying is the reason why they put the photo out is because they want you to see the person, understand the crime, know what's happening. But this, they're saying, this crime doesn't want.
DJ Envy
I'm not fooled. Oops, I did it again. Hit so hard for some white people.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay, all right.
DJ Envy
That sold so many records. They want. They don't want to put their queen, Britney out there like that. That's what that is.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm trying to find my tweet. It was like, a year ago. I did this story. I. I'll find it, and I'll figure it out. But I. I've had this experience before with re reaching out to agencies and trying to get mug shots.
DJ Envy
Justin Timberlake have a mug shot for his dui?
Lauren LaRosa
Yes, he did. Wow. Yeah, wow. Okay. Wow. So moving on. So I. I teased at the top of the hour or in the last latest that there were a ton of music artists who had got together to help a young man who is on death row right now over in Texas. So this is all being led by Travis Scott and some others. So Travis Scott, Young Thug K, Killer Mike T.I. and several other people are now all getting involved in this case. Now, the guy's name is James Garfield Broad Knox. He was convicted in 2009 of killing two men in the Garland area of Texas, and he was later sentenced to death. Now, Travis Scott and Killer Mike and all these people are getting involved. And on Monday, Travis Scott's attorney, Alex Spiro, actually went to the court, one of the highest courts in Atlanta Supreme Court, and basically said that the fact that. That they were using lyrics to basically show how dangerous or allege how dangerous this person was is not legal and should not be done. So they're basically fighting for that to be reviewed and to be under conversation with a higher court and a higher judge, because they're basically like, okay, if you want to prove that he did the crime and he should do time or whatever, that's one thing. But to use lyrics from that weren't even just associated with this crime, just lyrics that he's written. There were, like, freestyles that he wrote. Wrote while he was locked up. It's just not right for you to use. So all these artists are getting involved in this. Just something that I wanted to mention here because I thought that it was. It was. It was just good to see them getting involved. The inmate's name is James Garfield Broad Knox. James Garfield Broad Knacks N A X. Yes. And this has been going on for some time, but the reason why it's picking up in news right now is because Travis Scott's attorney got involved at the top of this week. And so now we're learning some of the other names that are out here, you know, putting her in. In this to say, hey, that's not right. Let's have another conversation.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. Kevin Lyle's been fighting for this for a long time about making sure that, you know, they're not allowed to use a rapper's art in court against them.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. Yep. So I wanted to mention that there. And as we wrap the hour. As we wrap the hour, I brought up Dak Prescott yesterday. Now, we talked about the Dallas Cowboys and how they don't get the rings, and you guys are trying to figure
DJ Envy
out, oh, that was disrespectful. That. That was an unnecessary shot.
Charlamagne Tha God
That was a good shot.
Lauren LaRosa
You take unnecessary shots at me all day long.
Charlamagne Tha God
That was a great shot.
Lauren LaRosa
Like, literally all day, all night. I think you do it in your sleep. So anyway, so cowboy is not getting the ring.
Charlamagne Tha God
Go.
Lauren LaRosa
Right. So Dak Prescott has decided, or he didn't decide. His fiance reportedly decided not to move forward with their marriage. They're supposed to be married in about a month. Right. People have been trying to figure out what the issue was. Yesterday, Page Six did an exclusive that there was infidelity issues. And I, in my opinion, when I first heard this story, and I'm like, okay, if it's not a prenup, what else? Makes you call off a wedding almost four weeks out, but that. So it's kind of of like a duh thing. Even though we haven't heard from Sarah and Dak Prescott themselves on this. But just an update there, too. You got something to say? Yes.
DJ Envy
You so paranoid. I didn't do this to you. Okay. Whatever your dad did this morning, do not take it out on me.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's a touchy situation.
DJ Envy
She likes to do this. She likes to take. When her dad does something to her, she takes it out.
Lauren LaRosa
Don't he just mad? I was giving a little update. I'm doing church notes in the last hour. And here you go. Boom. And I also I also reached out.
DJ Envy
You want to tell the people what you note your dad.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, you know what happened because, you
Lauren LaRosa
know, he left it in public. We could talk about it this weekend.
Charlamagne Tha God
She's in North Carolina. Her dad's in North Carolina. Dad might pull up on him.
Lauren LaRosa
Don't pull up.
DJ Envy
Can you tell people? Tell the people what happened so they know why you mad at me?
Lauren LaRosa
I'm not mad at you. Okay. Great plug. So yesterday I uploaded the full conversation and video to my YouTube channel. Lauren LaRosa TV of the Britney Spears DUI conservator conversation.
DJ Envy
The latest episode of the Latest with Lauren.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes, the latest with Lauren laros of the podcast My Dad.
Charlamagne Tha God
Everybody checks out, period.
Lauren LaRosa
We have over 9 million downloads. I'm building the video side on YouTube.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Lauren LaRosa
So I upload the video after the audio does its thing and my dad comments. It says, because the headline says, Britney Spears, should she be in a conservative conservatorship? Question mark. My dad decided to comment and his comment says, who cares? Question mark. And I said, hey, dad, still being a weirdo, I see. So if you want to go check out that comment or the actual conversation, please head to Lauren LaRose TV on YouTube.
DJ Envy
And this is this. And this is why she takes it out on me.
Charlamagne Tha God
Because you said when she. When she told us that. What did you say?
DJ Envy
Who cares?
Charlamagne Tha God
Your dad's a legend.
Lauren LaRosa
And at first he didn't believe me. I had to screen. I screenshot it and send it to my mom and my grandmother. Right. But Charlamagne wanted to see the screenshot because he thinks I'm just like the. This troubled woman for like.
DJ Envy
What?
Lauren LaRosa
Nothing.
Jessica
Did it hurt your feelings when you saw that?
Lauren LaRosa
No, I'm so used to it now. It's been worse than who says who
DJ Envy
cares to you more, me or your daddy? Damn.
Lauren LaRosa
Look, we're wrapping up the latest. I'll be back tomorrow morning with some updates. There's a story about Janet Jackson and Jermaine Jackson beefing over over to Michael Jackson biopic. And I'll be back with some information hopefully tomorrow morning. We gotta wrap up. Thank you much. So to Top Dog Law for sponsoring this hour. Any accident, big or small, please call Top Dog. I am fine. And my dad listens to the show. And I think this is what he
DJ Envy

Lauren LaRosa

She's a rapper, singer, actress, producer, author, and entrepreneur. And I love you, Queen Latifah. I met you one time, and I had so many things that I wanted to say leading up to, like, this was, I think, the equalizer. Her show Equalizer that she had that was about to premiere. And I met her in New Orleans, and everything that I was gonna say to her literally went away as soon
Charlamagne Tha God
as I walked up to her.
Jessica
I like, yo, I only been starstruck by two people that. That I ever met, and it was her. Queen Latifah and Angela Bassett. Angela Bassett, yo. I was so, so happy. I was so stunned. She just grabbed me and hugged me, and that was it. I was like, all right, I promise the next time, I'm gonna remember everything that I had to say to you, but I love you, Queen Latifah.
Charlamagne Tha God
I do have a question.
Juvenile
What?
Charlamagne Tha God
What's Today's date? The 11th to 12th for the last 12 days. You talk about a woman's character in a movie. Yeah, I thought you were gonna say Queen Latifah playing Cleo.
Jessica
I was gonna do that. I was waiting for Pride to do that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Jessica
Because it would hit harder during Pride. But that is one of my favorite roles of hers, though, Cleo.
Charlamagne Tha God
But why did you just. Everybody, you do a character, and today you just did the queen.
Jessica
I don't feel like it yet.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.

Lauren LaRosa
When I did the story, I was trying to get his mug shot when all that stuff happened when he was walking down that road. And they told me that they didn't release it because he wasn't a threat and they didn't need any more information.
DJ Envy

This is Chelsea Handler from Dear Chelsea, after the big game. Like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials, and there was one that stayed with me. It was from the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate. And it wasn't loud or flashy. It showed a Jewish kid being targeted

at some school and another student who

chose not to ignore it. As someone who is Jewish, that moment felt very real to me. Not dramatic, just familiar. And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn't always announce itself, but the impact is still huge. If you saw the blue square spot during the big game, it's worth thinking about. And if you want to show support, sharing the blue square is one small way to do that.

You ever wonder how far an EV can take you on one chart? Well, most people drive about 40 miles a day, which means you can do all daily stuff no problem. Go to work, grab the kids at school, get the groceries and still have enough charge to visit your in laws in the next county. But they don't need to know that. And the best part? You won't have to buy gas at all. The way forward is Electric Explore EVs that fit your life at electricforall.org
