[DJ Envy]

Good morning, man. How was your weekend?

[Charlamagne tha God]

It was good.

[DJ Envy]

Did you go see Wicked?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I did go see Wicked. I went to go see Wicked yesterday.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. I went to go see Wicked.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Get the kids to go see Wicked yesterday.

[DJ Envy]

What was your thoughts?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I didn't give a damn. I didn't give a good goddamn. That's just not for me. That's for the kids. I sat there and when it was over, I said to myself, what was that? And I saw the first one, too, with the kids. But I just want to say, why we gotta make everything so dark? Like, why does everything from our childhood gotta turn so dark?

[DJ Envy]

I don't know. It was.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I didn't know that's how the Tin man became the Tin Man. I didn't know how. That's how the scarecrow became the scarecrow. You're right. Yeah. Cowardly lion didn't serve no purpose. I thought he was gay back in the day, but now it's just like. I don't know what he does. He's just there. And then my daughter, my oldest daughter was telling me how Wicked was a book before Oz. I don't know. I just.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Dolphy ain't even had no face. Like, they didn't even care about Dolphy.

[DJ Envy]

Nah. I fell asleep one time. My daughter had to wake me up. Yeah. But you know what I realized? Taking my kids to the movie theater yesterday, Saturday.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What? It's expensive.

[DJ Envy]

It's expensive as a mother.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah. It's ridiculous. Don't even make no sense.

[DJ Envy]

When my kids said they wanted a slushie, I was like, ooh, yeah, that's a.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Actually, that might be a Christmas present. I might have to let them know, like, that's part of y' all Christmas. Because that was.

[DJ Envy]

I was like, there's no way this. Is this. This expensive?

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, it's ridiculous.

[DJ Envy]

You know, then they would, then, then, then they had the nerve to say, dad got some chicken fingers and french fries. And I, I wanted to say no.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And I know the scarecrow and the green. The witch was hunching.

[Brandy Evans]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

You didn't know that. I didn't know that either.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I didn't know that.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't know they were humping either.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I was just sitting there thinking, what is his penis like now? Cuz you know the reason he became the scarecrow is because they put a spell on him.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, they put a spell on him. And she said he can't die.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Exactly. Right. So what, how did that affect everything else? Like down below? And I was just. I don't know, man. It was just, just whatever, whatever. I could care less. I mean it made a lot of money.

[DJ Envy]

It did, it did. I had to check. Cause I was like, there's no way that this is gonna break the first one. I was like, cuz it's too expensive. And I'm like, everything out here is expensive. And. But nah, it did.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And I don't think I like musicals either. I like a play. I like them in a Broadway play, not in a movie. When I'm sitting in a movie theater, I don't want to break out in song every 20 seconds. I ain't with that. But yo, I ain't love it. It ain't for me. I'm not saying it's a bad movie. I'm just saying it ain't for me. I'm a 47 year old girl. That's. Man, I was born in 1998, okay. I care less about it.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, no, my kids loved it. They broke it down after. They like yours. Like they, they knew everything about the Tim. Everything. They broke it down. They were happy. They were excited, angry. He was.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I would have been mad.

[DJ Envy]

Wouldn't you be angry too? Have you been through what he was through? You'll be pissed off too.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, he did that, man.

[DJ Envy]

Dirty salute to all the munchkins out there, man. Munchkins, Munchkins need.

[Charlamagne tha God]

They weren't really munchkins though. They were just like regular sized people, you know what I'm saying? You know all the little people that need work out there.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but yeah, they, they, they were considered munchkins. So Munchkins need a union, man.

[Charlamagne tha God]

They were just munchkins in name. They weren't even munchkins. Movie rights to the eyes. I knew they had actual little people.

[DJ Envy]

Right?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

But they wasn't musky much. But I guess they Couldn't find people to play mine.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't know. There's plenty of little people out there. Now you're gonna have a bunch of them out there protesting. We don't exist in me. You don't see us.

And she'll break down everything that she has to do and that's involved with that. So don't go anywhere. Then we got front page news when we come back, Mimi will be joining us. And we gotta break down the football scores. I think my Giants are just losing on purpose at this point.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I think that's what you're telling yourself.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay, we'll talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Spirit 1:0, if you're into professional women's soccer. And Shador Sanders became the first Browns quarterback to win his first career start since 1999. They won over the weekend. They beat the Raiders 24 10. Now, also, the Seahawks beat the Titans. The Ravens beat the Jets. The packers beat the Vikings. The Giants lost to the Lions, but I think they lost that on purpose. If you've seen that game, you understand why. The Patriots beat the Bengals. Jaguars beat the Cardinals. The Falcons beat the Saints. The Rams beat the Buccaneers. And yeah, your Cowboys won, luckily.

[Charlamagne tha God]

[Charlamagne tha God]

Good morning, Envy.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, Charlemagne. How are you?

[DJ Envy]

I see you.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Good morning.

[Mimi Brown]

Okay, so we start this morning with President Trump escalating his feud with Marjorie Taylor Greene, taking shots at her untruth social all weekend as a fallout continue from continues from her surprise decision to resign from Congress. In a new post, he referred to her as Marjorie Taylor Brown, or, excuse me, Marjorie Trader Brown, and said she, quote, went bad and says he stopped returning her phone calls. Greene, for her part, spent the weekend pushing back, defending her record and making it clear she has no plans to run for president in 2028. Her resignation takes effect January 5, 2026, marking one of the most dramatic breaks between Trump and one of his earliest and most vocal MAGA allies. It also leaves Speaker Mike Johnson with an even slimmer majority heading into 2026. Let's listen to some of Marjorie's resignation speech. Standing up for American women who were raped at 14 years old, trafficked and used by rich, powerful men should not.

[Brandy Evans]

Result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for.

[Mimi Brown]

Meanwhile, Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, she's questioning Greene's decision to step down, saying she couldn't handle being on the opposite end of the president for one week. Let's listen to that.

[DJ Envy]

You know what?

[Brandy Evans]

Honestly, I was like, you've got to be kidding me. You're on the other side of the president for one week and you can't take the heat. Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes, to not only be on the opposite side of him, but to have people like her who are constantly fanning the flames. So, you know, this really speaks to the fact that Marjorie was, who has been an instigator of a lot of this hate that we see as it relates to the MAGA movement.

[Charlamagne tha God]

It's just interesting that I don't know.

[Brandy Evans]

If she really fully understood how bad she was making it for other people. And now that they're doing it to her, I just got to say, well, why is it that everyone else is able to stand and you can't?

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, well, Green's term, it was supposed to run through January 2027. So she's walking away a full year early. And her in her announcement, she says she didn't want to have her district be put through a hurtful and hateful primary, especially after President Trump signaled that he may back another candidate against her. And Zoran Mondami, he is back in New York this morning after his meeting with the White House, a conversation with President Trump at both discussions that both sides, they described as productive. The mayor elect, he spoke with reporters in the Bronx yesterday after church, saying the discussion focused on delivering for New Yorkers, with an emphasis on cost of living and affordability issues. Nemandami said he's heard from residents who were encouraged to see the both leaders. See both leaders address everyday concerns. President Trump, he also praised the meeting, saying the two agreed on a lot more than he thought and that he wants Mandami to do a great job. Now, the meeting, it didn't stop reporters, though, from revisiting past comments. One notable moment, still trending this morning, came when a reporter asked Von Dami whether he still believes the president is a fascist. Let's listen to that exchange.

[Brandy Evans]

Are you affirming that you think President.

[DJ Envy]

Trump is a fascist?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I've spoken about. That's okay. You could just say, okay, okay.

[DJ Envy]

It's easier.

[Charlamagne tha God]

It's easier than explaining it.

[DJ Envy]

I don't mind.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, yeah, so that was that exchange. And Mondame says he's taking the relationship one meeting at a time, but he left the White House feeling good about that initial conversation.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, I don't want to hear any politicians call each other fascists, authoritarians, wannabe dictators, communists, none of that kind of rhetoric anymore. It's all dead. Because if you call someone that and then turn around and say, but I'm willing to work with them, it looks hypocritical. And there is no such thing as working with fascists. That's not how fascism works. Fascism isn't a normal political disagreement. So politicians need to stop using that kind of lang language because you don't believe it. You know, leave that type of commentary for the social media crowd and just go do your job, you know, as a politician, because I feel like that rhetoric is irresponsible. You know, in this climate, it riles people up. It makes folks mad at each other, fighting in the street, trying to kill our political opposition. Meanwhile, the politicians is working with each other like, no. So they need to cut it out. There's people not even gonna eat Thanksgiving dinner this week together because they got political differences. Meanwhile, you know, these politicians are working with each other. We need to learn to work with each other, too, then.

[Mimi Brown]

All right, very well said. All right, well, coming up at 7, the USDA says most of us are still doing one thing wrong in the kitchen for Thanksgiving, and it could be putting your whole dinner at risk. We'll explain in the next Hour.

[DJ Envy]

And everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Let me know how your weekend was if you need to vent. You need to get some things off your chest. Phone lines are wide open again, 1-800-585-1051. Call us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello? Who's this?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yo, good morning, Charlamagne.

[DJ Envy]

DJ Envy Me Day. Me Day. What's up?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Peace.

[DJ Envy]

Midday, get it off your chest, brother. Hey, Solomon, I gotta talk to you for a little bit.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes, sir. Why?

[DJ Envy]

You like to get felt up by Asian dudes at the nail salon? He likes it, too. You see, we went back.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Listen, all I said was that when I'm in there sometimes getting the manicure, one of the guys that worked there, he'll come up behind you and give you a little shoulder rub. And, you know, it was cool.

[DJ Envy]

He liked it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You get into it, and it's fine. But the weird thing was that you.

[DJ Envy]

Was like, oh, I don't want Envy to show up. So he don't see it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, what happened? No, what happened was, last time I was in there, Envy's wife and his daughter was in there, and then I saw homie lurking, and I was like, man, don't come rub my shoulders right now. Because I didn't want them to go back and tell Envy, because I know they would have made it weird. Hey, yeah, yeah, go ahead.

[Brandy Evans]

Keep telling yourself that, man.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Hey, I love the Breakfast Club as a staff, record label and as a crew.

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne tha God]

But you know what? That's crazy, though.

[DJ Envy]

Why?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Like. Like, football players, basketball players got male therapists, physical trainers that rubbed them down all day. I tell one story about an Asian man giving me a shoulder rub, and now you know, I'm questionable.

[DJ Envy]

You always been questionable, so that's not the thing. You've always been questionable. It's not like one time you've been questionable. Hello? Who's this?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Good morning. How are you?

[DJ Envy]

How are you? What's your name, brother? This is Jonas. Okay. Get it off your chest.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Something I want to get on my chest one.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I Want to talk about if the.

[DJ Envy]

Mayor talked about to Trump about the ICE situation, which is going on in New York City. And, for example, they've been attacking a lot of different cultures, like the Haitians, the Chinese, and they have been attacking a lot of different nationalities in certain areas where they're not going to target.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Or turn areas like where the players are, you know. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Which is really sad.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah. And, you know, ice. ICE says they're definitely gonna ramp up operations in New York City, by the way.

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely. This is getting out of hand because.

[Charlamagne tha God]

A lot of these people are members.

[DJ Envy]

That work hard and paying their bills, especially a lot of vendors who work.

[Charlamagne tha God]

On the street and the subway, and.

[DJ Envy]

They'Re busy trying to support their families. It's not fair how they're being taken.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Advantage of and targeted, you know, by the. You know, for advice or basically picking.

[DJ Envy]

On it for no reason, you know?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Absolutely.

[DJ Envy]

Yep. So the second thing I want to.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Give on my chest was that I.

[DJ Envy]

Want to let you guys know I have a film.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm a director. I'm a producer and author, and I.

[DJ Envy]

Was film streaming on. On Amazon prime and on Apple tv. It's called Messiah's cointelpro talks about Jericho, who were.

[Charlamagne tha God]

He was talking to black leaders at the time, and it's a big, big.

[DJ Envy]

Show that's basically awareness about what we.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Went through during the time of segregation.

[DJ Envy]

And, you know, at the time of, you know, Jim Crow.

[Charlamagne tha God]

When you guys have Andrew Young on your phone. I'm sorry, in your interview, I wanted.

[DJ Envy]

To talk to him. Unfortunately, I didn't get the opportunity to do so.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And the big, big thing I wanted to discuss about the racial leaders went.

[Brandy Evans]

Through at the time, you know, during.

[Charlamagne tha God]

All that time with, like, Martin Luther King and Michael, like, how they were targeted and, you know, and how this is pro. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Very exposed.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Talking to our people. Yes, sir. I'm beyond. Hey, hey. Your voice is giving me anxiety, man. I feel like I want to catch you. I feel like you're about to fall. I don't know why it sounds like you fall. I didn't want to catch you. I feel like you keep. Every time I hear. I just want to reach out for you.

[DJ Envy]

But thank you for calling, brother. Appreciate you.

[Charlamagne tha God]

This is a very. This conversation makes my anxiety go up. Like, bro.

[DJ Envy]

Get it. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. When we come back, we got the latest valor. Ja Rule calls a bunch of people vaginas. We'll tell you who. When we come back, we'll let you Break. We'll let him break it down. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Oh, God, ain't no Lauren.

[DJ Envy]

Shut up.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You about to try to do this, you did this in a while.

[DJ Envy]

We're gonna try it. Morning, everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Brandy Evans]

Lauren becoming a straight face.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Brandy Evans]

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

[Charlamagne tha God]

She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes we have facts. Sometimes. Sometimes she have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything.

[DJ Envy]

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

[Charlamagne tha God]

Well, LL Cool is not here. Lauren. She's on an island somewhere from what I saw on her Instagram.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, she's on a little birthday vacation. So she sent me everything to do this morning. All the latest to do.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I saw a picture she posted, and on the glass, it said, will you be my girlfriend? I'm like, y' all just getting to that phase. You flew her out the country to ask to be a govern.

[DJ Envy]

I do. I don't know. I didn't look that deep into it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I just saw it pop up on the story. I don't know. Maybe it was in our close friends. I don't remember.

[DJ Envy]

No. All right, well, anyway, now this latest is all about concerts and all about performances. So we all know Ja Rule got. Almost got jumped the other night at the Monica and Brandy tour. So he's finally speaking about exactly what happened during that situation. Start walking to the stage. Sneak me. Snuck a punch. Me from behind. Three tried to punk. And I'm. I'm just saying it happens. It can happen to anybody, you know, Happens to players, too. Get no points for that. No real points for that. At that point, we scuffling, we shuffling. I see Artie diving across the grabbing. He's testing him with it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm testing with it.

[DJ Envy]

As I'm moving, you know, backwards, I can stumble over some back. Joe is there. Rich is there. This is a melee. This is grabbing me back, making sure, you know, all right, trying to get between everybody that's going on. Security's coming. It's a melee. So anyway, just kind of disperses and people disperse. So I'm screaming and yelling. We eventually get to moving out of the building and get to the downstairs area, like the players area where they park, and.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And then we leave out the building.

[DJ Envy]

Nothing more to say. Yeah, so he said he was walking to the stage. He said he wasn't at A staring contest. There weren't no words. Just somebody tried to punch him in the back of the head.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I think this whole situation is ridiculous. And Ja's right. It can happen anywhere at any time. That. It can happen anywhere at any time, but it shouldn't.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

This is a Brandi and Monica show. R B with grown ass men. Where are you? Where. Where can you be comfortable at?

[DJ Envy]

Well, he talks about if. If this would have been a white event, he feels like things would have been different. I want to address how hip hop concerts and white concerts and country concerts and rock concerts and pop concerts are policed or secured. Like if I was Bruce Springsteen at the mother concert and get attacked in the back, you think the assailants could make it out of the building without getting arrested or something happening? See, this is how they do. Black business as usual.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Nothing happened.

[DJ Envy]

Nothing to see here. These animals. But, you know, I digress.

[Charlamagne tha God]

He's right. How come they weren't any arrests? We don't have any suspects. Nobody apprehended. Nobody apprehended nothing like this. They just. That can happen. And does everybody go on about their day?

[DJ Envy]

Just keep it going.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Just keep it going.

[DJ Envy]

Show goes on.

[Charlamagne tha God]

He's absolutely right. That would not happen at a white event.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Well, no, that was absolutely right.

[DJ Envy]

That was job breaking that down. Now, jt, she is done messing with you old heads. Now. This kind of reminds me when I was with Lauren at G Ho, which is homecoming, and she said, I want to hear Sexyy Red. And they started to boo her. Well, she performed at Jeezy in Friends. And when she performed Jeezy and Friends, it was a show in Orlando. Jeezy and Friends. She was. I guess she performed during that show, and she didn't get the reaction that she wanted. So she said this in the middle of her performance.

[Brandy Evans]

I can't hear y'. All. I don't got time for this tonight, okay? I really don't. When they be putting me on these shows now with, like, the Legend, I don't know if I'm a Y N or OG Cause y' all be looking at me like I'm crazy. I'm 33. I'm your age. I need y' all to have fun. Like, don't be staring at me. Don't be looking at me crazy. I think it's my last time with this, okay? I will not be doing no more shows again.

[DJ Envy]

I'm done.

[Brandy Evans]

But I had something.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Good night.

[DJ Envy]

She tired of your ass.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Listen, was she opening up?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. I guess she was opening Jeezy and Friends, so, yeah, I'm sure she was.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Opening, but also, that's in Florida, jt. That's your backyard. Like, you know, they supposed to know some of them records or maybe she should have went out there and did some. Maybe some City Girl records. Maybe. I don't. I mean, I don't. By the way, I don't know what she did, so I can't even say she didn't. But I would think that, you know, if you. Maybe you go out there and do a couple City Girl records, you probably get a. A better reaction. I think JT is dope.

[DJ Envy]

She is dope, but it's two different generations, right? So if you go in to see a Jeezy show, you're probably 40 plus, right?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Well, I'm looking at the lineup. Is Jeezy the Friends with plies and.

[DJ Envy]

Booy, Plies and boosies.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And she can go out there and do a couple City Girl records in the crowd and know those, bro.

[DJ Envy]

Maybe she did her own. And they didn't know that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's what I'm thinking happened. I got to see the set list, but I'm thinking that she probably went out there and just did some. Some of her own records, and they probably weren't as familiar with her solo catalog as they would be. A City Girls catalog.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, well, I don't know. She said she ain't doing nothing with you, with you legends anymore, with you old heads anymore. Now also, Cash Money with you, like.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You ain't an old head. Well, you swear you're not 48 because your.

[DJ Envy]

Your beard died just for me.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Whatever still died.

[DJ Envy]

Well, Cash Money, the Cash Money Millionaires 30th anniversary live and concert tour stopped at the UBS arena in New York City. And people are mad. You know why they mad?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Why?

[DJ Envy]

Because only two members showed up. Only BG and Juvenile. There was no Lil Wayne, no Birdman, no Manny Fresh, no Turk, nobody else. And people are like, I paid for Cash Money. I want to see Cash Money.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I didn't even hear about that show until I heard about this kerfuffle, this little incident that only two of them showed up. I didn't know they were having a Cash Money reunion show in New York City.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, people are upset about that. Also, Lloyd, I don't know if you've seen the video. Lloyd was performing Friday and he tripped over his own feed.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Hilarious.

[DJ Envy]

Did a face plant right on the stage. And he talks about what happened. And I fell.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's what happened.

[DJ Envy]

I Tripped. I was doing my signature slide. This is coolest, smoothest in the show, bro. And I crashed, bro. And I feel like all my cool points is out the window, you know what I'm saying? Saying just for some reason, whenever I fall, I just gotta lay there, bro. I just can't get right back up. Like, oh, I gotta lay in it. And that's why they ran out there. They like, yo, come on, get up.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Get up, get up. It's just a reminder, Lloyd. I think Lloyd is about 39. I think he'll be 40 next year. Like the top of the year. He'll be 40, right? Like January something.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So it's just a reminder that you're almost 40. That's all.

[DJ Envy]

That's right, that's all. And lastly is some positive news. Well, the Boy Is Mine tour stopped in Nor. I was going to say Norfolk, in Newark, New Jersey. And Beyonce came. Jay Z was there, Solange was there. And Ms. Patty LaBelle touched that tour. They said it went crazy when Patty performed over the week in Mercedes. When they said it was just. She just killed it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's two generations of Godiva chocolate goddesses right there. Okay, Kelly. Rolling. And Patty, Louis Bell don't ever play with that type of melanin on stage. You hear me?

[DJ Envy]

Not at all. Lola Brooke also came out in Newark, New Jersey as well. And that is the latest with alarm. All right, now when we come back, we got front page news. Mimi will be joining us and then Brandy Evans will be here. You know her from Reasonable Doubt. Also she plays Mercedes. Mercedes. Mercedes on P. Valley.

[Charlamagne tha God]

It was a great game too. We came from behind.

[DJ Envy]

Let me guess, you like. Yeah. You like that coming from behind? Let me guess. You going to the Super Bowl.

[Charlamagne tha God]

We always going to the Super Bowl. One year, one day before I die, we will be going to the Super Bowl. Okay? It might be this year. You never know.

[DJ Envy]

It's not going to be this year.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You never know.

[DJ Envy]

The Rams beat the Buccaneers. And in Monday Night Football the Panthers take on the 49ers at 8:15. What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

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

[Charlamagne tha God]

Peace, Mimi.

[DJ Envy]

Good.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning. Okay, so we start this hour with growing backlash to a new rule that could change which degrees qualify for full federal loan support and reshape entire career fields. Now, under President Trump's one big beautiful bill, the Department of Education is updating what it counts as professional degrees. And that designation matters because it determines how much students can borrow. So up to $50,000 a year for a professional program and just over 20,000 a year for everything else. And here's what's making people sound the alarm. Nursing did not make that professional degree list. So neither did physician assistants, physician therapists, educators, social workers, architects, accountants, engineer, counselors, therapists. The list goes on. And most. Yeah, there's a lot of different categories under there. But the degrees that did make the cut include just things like medicine, dentistry, law, pharmacy, veterinarian medicine, clinical psychology. Now, nursing groups, though they are warning that this could be devastating. A bachelor's degree in nursing can cost up to $210,000. And without that higher loan limit, many students simply won't be able to afford the path into that profession. And this is coming at a time when the US Is already short tens of thousands of nurses and instructors in other fields. They say the same fewer students today means deeper shortages tomorrow. And the Department of Education says the concerns are exaggerated and that universities have had a blank check for too long. And this comes as the administration is moving to fold the Department of Education into other federal agencies. A move Press Secretary Caroline Levitt is defending by saying the Education Department has no use. Let's listen to what she had to say.

[Brandy Evans]

The Democrats reckless 43 day government shutdown.

[Mimi Brown]

Did manage to do one valuable thing. It proved that America does not need.

[DJ Envy]

A federal Department of Education.

[Brandy Evans]

During the longest shutdown in history, the.

[DJ Envy]

Department of education furloughed 90% of its staff.

[Mimi Brown]

And America's education system was not impacted whatsoever. Schools stayed fully open across the country.

[DJ Envy]

Students attended class and received normal in person instruction.

[Mimi Brown]

And our wonderful teachers received their paychecks uninterrupted. Well, we know that's not true because dozens of Head Start programs across the country were forced to close during the government shut down. We talked about that, and many more were days away from shutting their doors because those federal grants did not come through. But this new rule could take effect July 2026 unless they change it. But students in these fields, they will face major financial barriers and communities could see even deeper shortages in careers that they rely on the most. Have you guys seen this chatter on social media about them doing.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Go ahead. I did, but I thought it was just the nurses. I didn't know it was. You said architects.

[DJ Envy]

Architects, social workers.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, Therapists, mental health professionals. From therapists, counselors. Yes, it's a whole group of people.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So if architects, nurses and therapists are not considered professionals, what are they considered? Like? These are some of the greatest public servants we have in our society.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, exactly. And that's the uproar right now on social media is what is happening. Because these are professions that people have, you know, spent their entire lives in and now the government is basically telling them that it's not a real profession anymore.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So what if I owe money on student loans for one of these?

[Mimi Brown]

Oh, you still owe the money.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. You still gotta pay.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Damn.

[DJ Envy]

You still gotta pay.

[Mimi Brown]

You still gotta pay. But if you want to, if you want to go to school and you want to become one of those, you will not have the opportunity to get that much money. And that's the problem. It's going to deter people from wanting to be any of those professions because they're not going to be able to afford it. That's what's going on.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's horrible.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, so. And the concerns about the future staffing shortages, they tie directly into the bigger picture of where the job market stands right now. So the long delayed September jobs report is finally out and for a lot of families is just putting numbers to what they're already feeling. So if you've been job hunting longer than usual, if your hours got cut, or if your paycheck, it isn't stretching the way it used to, then you've been living this report in real time because the economy, it added only 119,000 jobs in September. That's a little better than expected. But the unemployment rate still climbed 4.4% and that's the highest in nearly four years. And when you include people who can't find full time work or have stopped working altogether, that real number is about 8%. And those numbers reflect real pressure on families. More jobs searching, more extra shifts, and people just trying to make their paycheck rise after everything else is going on with inflation and grocery prices still rising. To the report, though, it also shows a split economy. Healthcare, restaurants and social services, they added jobs. That's the work you see in your, your neighborhoods every day. But sectors that usually provide long term stability like transportation, warehousing and professional services, they lost jobs. Now those Losses rarely trend online, but they matter to people who depend on steady hours and benefits. Now more people are coming back into the workforce. That's what the jobs report showed. They said that full time work is up, but that's also a sign of how expensive life has become. More people, even retired people, they need to come back into the workforce because they have to keep up with those full time bills. And so remember though, that this report is only a snapshot. It because of the government shutdown, it's backed up from two months ago. And so it really doesn't capture what's happening right now in November. But even with the lag, the message is clear that the job market is cooling, prices are still high, and the economy feels steadier on paper than I'm sure it does for many people at their kitchen table. So, yeah, we'll continue to watch what that looks like and switching to something a little lighter. Before we head into the holiday. We're going to talk turkey. Literally. So the USDA says most of us are still making the same mistake in the kitchen every year. So I'm going to ask y', all, do you wash your turkey before you cook it?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, you gotta wash all your meat. I would think. I grew up in a household. Man, shut up. I say nothing. Yeah, I can see it in your face. I grew up in a household where all meat was washed. Yes. My wife washes meat now. Everybody washes meat.

[DJ Envy]

Yes. Maybe they gotta be clean.

[Mimi Brown]

So the answer is yes. Okay, well, the USDA is out with this annual warning, and they say do not wash your turkey before cooking it. They say a lot of people still believe in an old school myth that rinsing a turkey can cleans it, but they say that it doesn't. They say washing the raw bird can actually spray bacteria up to three feet around your kitchen onto the counters, your clothes, and even the side dishes sitting nearby. They say that even with all this information and science, 60% of Americans still watch wash their poultry. But the USDA says the only thing that kills bacteria is heat. So cooking your turkey at 165 degrees in the thickest parts. Also, this is what they want you to do. They said pat it dry, season it, and then put it straight into the oven. No rinsing, no sink parade, no quick splash. I know that sounds weird to me too, because, you know, I grew up. We wash our meat, we wash our poultry.

[Brandy Evans]

We.

[Mimi Brown]

I don't understand how you just season it and put it in the oven, but that is. That is the recommendation.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Well, that Recommendation came from white people. I'm positive. That's number one. And, you know, the USDA ain't never talked about people farting in the kitchen. You don't think about that, do you?

[DJ Envy]

What?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay, yes. Farting spreads bacteria, too. The same way they talking right there. Farting spread back there. And, you know, women be walking around the kitchen with leggings on, just chefing it up, no drawers, letting it loose in the kitchen. Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Jesus.

[Mimi Brown]

I know.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know how we got there.

[Mimi Brown]

I don't know how we got there either, but I'm gonna bring it back just a little bit. And though, so just because we're officially in Thanksgiving crunch, they said that just as a reminder, your turkey needs 24 hours to thaw out. So for every four to five pounds, you need 24 hours. If you have, like a 20 pound bird, it needs a four. Needs four full days. So if you haven't taken it out, right now would be the perfect day to take it out. And since we're on the subject, how long? Because the usda, they have recommendations for this. So how long are your. Your Thanksgiving leftovers? Good. Like, how many days you guys eat your Thanksgiving leftovers?

[DJ Envy]

Sunday night's the last night. Monday, everything goes in the garage.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Long. That's a long time. Sunday's a long.

[DJ Envy]

Nah, Sunday.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Thursday to Sunday gas.

[DJ Envy]

Thursday to Sunday. Thursday I watch the game, and then Sunday I watch the game. So Sunday, Sunday everything goes in the garbage. Monday's garbage pickup.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And I'll be honest with you, I don't. I think Thanksgiving food is trash. The older I get. Like, I like stuffing. I like some yams. I don't really care for turkey like that. I don't like Mac and cheese like that. No. More like, I'm not. Like, I don't even care for Thanksgiving food.

[DJ Envy]

See, we do a little. We do a little Caribbean food, so we do West Indian food. So we gonna have some. Some oxtail. We're gonna have jerk chicken, so.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Well, see, my aunt does that the day after day. My aunt does, like, all the seafood, some fried fish, fried Shabbat. I look forward more forward to that meal than I do Thanksgiving.

[DJ Envy]

What does USDA say?

[Mimi Brown]

Well, the usda, you're about right. It says three to four days. So after three to four days, you have to throw away the food. But, I mean, if you like it that much, they said you can freeze it and keep it for two to six months. All right, y'.

[DJ Envy]

All.

[Mimi Brown]

Thank you, Mimi. So thank y'.

[Charlamagne tha God]

[DJ Envy]

Come back, Brandi Evans will be joining us. You know Brandee Evans from Reasonable Doubt season three. Also, she plays Mercedes on P Valley. And we're gonna talk to her next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. How you feeling? First and foremost, how you feel?

[Mimi Brown]

I feel good.

[Brandy Evans]

I feel amazing. It's Caregiver Appreciation Month. Speaking of taking care of my mama. So this is my respite break too. Just being out here in New York, doing what I want to do, seeing some art, enjoying some cold weather, because I feel like we don't really get that in la.

[DJ Envy]

So.

[Brandy Evans]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So it's all the caregivers out there, man. Break down. What exactly do caregivers do? Because it's such a unappreciated service that they. That they provide.

[Brandy Evans]

That's a good question. Everything care, like for my, for me, my mom, Diana Harrington, she has multiple sclerosis, she has Alzheimer's and she's paraplegic. So basically it's like having my newborn with me at all times and it just depends on what you're dealing with. It could be from feedings, the doctor's appointments, emotional support, just sitting with them, taking them out. You just never know. But caregivers need love and check on us, too, because we ain't all right all the time.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And, you know, people, I'm sure I don't know if you're through the system, but, you know, people can get paid for that.

[Brandy Evans]

Not everywhere. That's. That's. I'm glad you mentioned that. New York is a blessing. LA is a blessing. I think I heard Florida has a little bit, but everywhere else has been frustrating. That's why I had to move Mama from Memphis.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Wow.

[Brandy Evans]

So. And then I moved it to Atlanta Season 1 When I was filming P Valley and had to move her back because I lost all my benefits. So it is. That's. We just did carefest out here and that's what we were talking about, getting the care. Because people aren't doing that. And either all of us are either going to be caregivers for somebody or somebody's going to care for us.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's right.

[Brandy Evans]

At one time in our lives. So I don't know what's up with the government. So who does care for you then? Because you've been doing this for a long time. You take care of your grudges. No, I don't want you. I've watched your journey just over the years, even before I met you. And you are like, your mom is your baby. Okay. In between roles. And I've even shot a project with you. And on a break, you on the phone, Mama, making sure everybody is in place while you're doing the things that you have to do to keep making the money. And then as soon as you finish shooting, you go. You with your mom, you wake up, you go back on set. That's right. Because during Pretty Stoned, I had mom on in the hospital. So I was on the phone with doctors, and they were like, cut. And I was, like, holding the doctor stayed while I did a scene on the phone and came back. So, yeah, rehearsing lines and remembering a script and everything like that. I write my friends and family. I will say more. So my friends, no, not to my family, but my friends are the ones that are out there with me. People like Ivari, who's with me here when I'm filming season one of P. Valley, had a caregiver walk out, and I checked the live camera stream. I'm like, what's going on? What's going on in mama's room? He had connected all of my friends together, and they took turns taking care of my mother while I filmed because the caregiver walked out. So my friends are my ride or dies. Sasha, you know, my bestie Sasha. Sasha's at the house of Mama now. Like, they. I just have a good village, a good chosen family, which is a blessing.

[DJ Envy]

Would you ever put your. You know, a lot of people talk about putting their moms or parents in a home. Would you do that? And why would.

[Brandy Evans]

Actually, I promised my mom I never would. And she did go in one. So that's my story. On her birthday in 2014, she had a fall. I was dancing background for Legacy at the time. My little brother called me. He was like, mama fails. She has to be in a rehabilitation center. And I'm like, the one promise I made to mama, which was never put in a nursing home. She had to be in it, but never again. So that's when I fought for my life, started teaching dance classes all over the country and asking every celeb I knew, like, I don't need your money, but just a repost is a blessing.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I.

[Brandy Evans]

And we raised $14,000 in four days, and I got my mom out of that nursing home, and that was December 21st. It'd be nine years I've had her.

[DJ Envy]

Since that day, the reason I ask is sometimes parents will say, you know what? I don't want to be a problem with your family. I don't want to mess up what you have. So put me in a home. So that way there is help. And then there's some people that say, you know what? I'll never put my mom in a home. But having that care 24 7, I mean, I'm sure, you know, it's almost impossible, right?

[Brandy Evans]

And it's $9,000 a month, to be exact.

[DJ Envy]

So my wife's mother had dementia in all times, and we had a full day. And if we didn't have a nanny helping, it would be almost impossible because, you know, there's been times when she done walked out the house and just kept walking. There was times where, you know, she didn't know where the toilet was. So, you know, it is like having a newborn at times. There's been times when, you know, there's so much going on. So how do you deal with that 247 and still work and still take care of yourself?

[Brandy Evans]

God. Because at this point, it's just gotta be all, God, because I'm so exhausted in New York, that's the first time I don't have the baby monitor by my ear. And so when you hear that cough, you don't know, just like with your baby, are you choking or are you coughing? So then you're getting up, running to the room, trying to have that rest, it is exhausting. It is very exhausting. But I also don't knock people that have to do that because everybody's situation is different. I think that if you have to put them there, you gotta stay on top of them. I was stalking the home. Like, I was showing up. I was popping up. At one point, they was like, we feel like you watching us. I am.

[DJ Envy]

Damn right I am.

[Brandy Evans]

Because it's my mom. And that with where she was, my mom probably wouldn't be alive right now if I wouldn't have gotten her. One time I popped up and mama was like, laid over with a fever, and I had to break her fever. By the way, you can break a fever with alcohol. Just rub it on the baby's back. Mom taught me that when I was a little girl rubbing alcohol on the back. But, yeah, I honestly don't know. I'm still trying. I'm working through it with therapy and just trying to find my peace and taking more vacations and things for myself, too. And that's hard, too, because now mama had a meltdown about Me coming to New York because she's like, why are you leaving me? And I can, you know, with kids. I know y' all overstand. You don't want to leave the babies, but we got to work. We gotta have some time for us. Cause I can't pour from the empty cup.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I love this conversation so much because years, years, years, years ago, God bless the dead, Andre Harrell called me and had a whole conversation about this. Exactly. And introduced me to the world of caregivers. And he introduced me to a woman named Gina Lisa Monticero. And she's the founder of the Medicaid Advisory Group. And they're a consulting company who assists elders and family caregivers. And so, you know, she helped my family with some stuff, and she's helped a lot of my friends. I think it's just something that people don't know about.

[Brandy Evans]

Yeah. And we don't think about it until we have to be in that situation. Because I never thought about it. And then I realized, oh, this Medicare, Medicaid, all the different things, like, it's hard. And if you don't have it, you can't get your supplies, you can't pay. And paying for these supplies at the house is very expensive. If you don't have that help.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And that's what Gina Lisa does. She helps you just navigate the healthcare system. Because it's complex.

[Brandy Evans]

Yes. And they don't want us to know about it at all. They definitely don't want us to know about it. So.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. All right. We got more with Brandy Evans when we come back. You know her from Reasonable Doubt. She also plays Mercedes on P. Valley. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. What a matchup we got, y'. All. This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beat, everybody showing that school pride. Game like this. Yeah. It calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah. Crisp and refreshing.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's a game changer right there.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere, and an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo no matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going. This past weekend, like every other Sunday, you were on the court with the guys playing ball. Just a pickup game, living out your hoop dreams. No triple doubles, but a mean set of threes in between buckets. One of the homies mentions he closed on a new crib. This is big. And while everyone's asking about the house warming and making plans to celebrate, you're asking the real questions. Like has he spoke to his State Farm agent yet about coverage? See, home ownership is one thing, but the right coverage is the real game changer. Even more than your last hot streak is how you protect your legacy. Dropping buckets and bars on the court. A State Farm agent can more than assist you with finding the right coverage for your new place. If you have a claim, your local agent can help you file it. Yep, that's right. Over the phone, in person, online or on the app, they're ready to help you and they don't drop the ball, if you know what I mean. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. What up y'? All? It's DJ Envy. You can go anywhere and find clothes, but at JD Sports you can discover your style. Like I needed a pair of blue and white sneakers and I couldn't find them anywhere so I stopped in at JD's. I know what I like and I got it. At JD's. I found a pair of kicks, blue and white.

[Brandy Evans]

So you said therapy. So you are currently. Yes. I gotta find a new therapist, though. The last one I had, I'm like, it's been a minute, and she ain't really answered that phone. So I need to find me. But then it's finding the right people and then trusting people, too, because I'm like. It's like, I don't really want you to talk about what I do. I just want to. I want to be Brandi. I don't want to be the actor. I just want to be Brandi, the caregiver and just talk about things. What about y'? All? Is that hard for y' all to do? When you go to therapy? Y' all go to therapy.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm on my third second therapy. Yeah.

[Brandy Evans]

Trying to find that right fit. It's like dating. Yeah, I haven't. I hear that it's like dating. I haven't started therapy yet. I would like to, but I just.

[DJ Envy]

I haven't started yet. But I hear that a lot in people.

[Brandy Evans]

Like my son's father. He's like, yo, I just can't find the right person. Right one. You know what I mean? And then he also battles with trusting, like, yo, how can this person tell me anything? How can he fix me if he never been through what I've been through? If they don't look like me or, you know, so he. He's battling, like, trying to find a black man to talk to.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Oh, I got a good one for him.

[Brandy Evans]

Oh, we need to share. We need to talk about that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

My first. My first therapist, I wanted somebody that was completely opposite. So I was looking. I actually was looking for, like, an Asian woman, but then I ended up with a white woman, and she was cool. But it is something about having a black male therapist who's culturally competent.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Because you don't got to explain too much.

[Brandy Evans]

Right? Right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I mean, a lot of things he already understands. Yeah.

[Brandy Evans]

Yeah. Now.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But yours is gonna be kind of hard because he had to deal with you, so I needed to.

[Brandy Evans]

You know what? Excuse me.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I need somebody that's. Never mind.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't mess Rome up.

[Brandy Evans]

Rome messed Me up.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Wow.

[Brandy Evans]

Like, how I'm doing? I'm doing good.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[Brandy Evans]

I'm very better now. Anyway. Very better.

[Charlamagne tha God]

In bookstores next year, pre order now.

[Brandy Evans]

Anyway, Season three of Reasonable Doubt. I'm so proud of you. Thank you. What drew you to the character Monica? Well, first of all, I wasn't drawn at all to the character Monica. Cause she's a mess. But I was drawn to the show. Total opposite. So I've always wanted to be on Reasonable Doubt. I've been watching the show. It was on my vision board, and I wanted to do something different than P. Valley, so. But then when Ramela called about the director session, I was like, oh, my Lord, Monica. And I didn't find out till after I auditioned what was happening. They gave me the storyline and the arc of this, and I was like, oh, this is gonna be good. And they finna drag me in these Internet streets. But that's when I knew it was gonna. It's gonna be worth it. And it's a great story. Not a great, but an important story to tell because. Have y' all seen it yet? It's okay if you haven't.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Brandy Evans]

All right. So I'm playing an agent, and there's this child star named Ozzie Edwards. And just like most child stars, they growing up with, you know, they got the money, the fame. But the gag is I'm his agent who's been molesting him since he was 13 years old, which is terrible. But a lot of times people let that pass with boys because they think, you know, it's dope, that there's an older woman trying to turn him on, but it's not cool. So he kept it hidden. The secret comes out, and it's. It's a gag. Wow. And I have six nephews.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You trying to be funny? Okay. That's why you can't share nothing with me. You know what I'm saying? But that's exactly.

[Brandy Evans]

You know what I'm saying.

[DJ Envy]

Ain't no masking.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes, I'm fine.

[DJ Envy]

He's in therapy.

[Mimi Brown]

Are you.

[DJ Envy]

No, no, no. But I didn't want to make sure he wasn't triggered because that. That's what happened to him. He was molested by a older woman?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes.

[Brandy Evans]

I'm sorry.

[DJ Envy]

But the reason he wanted it to stop White laughing, because she had a Jerry.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I didn't like the smell of her Jericho. That's what I told myself, but I actually didn't like what she was doing to me.

[Brandy Evans]

Okay.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But I. I told myself it was the smell of Her Jerry Crow when I was. Was eight.

[Brandy Evans]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Yes. But you know what?

[Brandy Evans]

Different things to cope. This. This young man on episode nine, the younger version of me says to him, oh, I'm sorry to know you were gay. Which is terrible. And that's what I feel like some women will do to young boys, too, to try to push them off and make them feel like, you know, that's why you won't be attracted to me.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Ugly.

[Brandy Evans]

Yeah. They do all types of stuff. And. And she was wrong, not you. So. Well, you were talking about Joy Crew.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Just talk to your therapist. Okay.

[DJ Envy]

But then when he got old, it happened again. He was sitting on laps. It was just. Just reoccurring the cycle. This is how much work it was.

[Brandy Evans]

To get a good J curl back in the day. And you could say you like it.

[DJ Envy]

You would have been ugly to me too, boy. What? And I'm doing all this work.

[Brandy Evans]

Well, the finale dropped last week.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Brandy Evans]

Okay. And at the end, because his. His attorney, Jax, who is Emi, she plays the star in the show. Yes. Well, she finds out what happened. She puts Monica on the stand, and it comes out to the family, everybody. And then at the end, Monica decides to go in and shoot the place up, and we don't know who she shot.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So what's the hardest emotional place you've ever had to go to for a role? Was it that probably that.

[Brandy Evans]

Absolutely. I got six nephews, and so just to think about my baby boys, like, I'd be in jail or hell. Did you think I got into that.

[DJ Envy]

Part, though, because of it?

[Brandy Evans]

Absolutely not. Because I think it's my job as an actor to tell the stories, even the ones that are difficult. And I've had fans that are like, I can't believe you would do it after Mercedes. We love Mercedes. Why would you come do this? Maybe it'll make you pay attention to your baby boy when they come home. Yeah, Maybe it'll make you ask different questions or if you see him shifting. So that's why I always want to take on roles that tell important stories. Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

How do you have those conversations?

[Brandy Evans]

We work out. I love working out. Going hiking. But honestly, I be with mama so much, I just have to just tap away from it. But, yeah, just staying in touch with who I am. And step 12 of the actor. The actor handbook for me is Let it go. So it's not real.

[DJ Envy]

I was gonna ask, so how are you with your nephews? Do you have different conversations with them now? Like, hey, let me talk to you for a second.

[Brandy Evans]

Oh, always Because I, I know dj, because I know you listening? Yes. My nephews are cute too. So I've already had that situation with them with older women. And I pick up the phone and call. I told one girl, I was like, I will, will find you and you will go to jail. And I'm just gonna leave it at that.

[DJ Envy]

So try to holler one of your nephews.

[Brandy Evans]

Absolutely.

[DJ Envy]

Jesus Christ.

[Brandy Evans]

Absolutely. They do it all the time. I mean, so I'm not crazy. So seeing this, I. I also did my research on it, but I've also seen it. I'm the only girl, so I've seen how the women act. You know. You know your brother, fine, he's married and he's younger, you know, so. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Do you look at people. I'm sorry? Do you look at people differently when you see like. So now the big thing in, in our community is you'll see like a 30 year old dating an 18 year old or a 40 year old dating a 20 year old. Do you look at people differently now because of that? Because of the role you play?

[Brandy Evans]

No, I don't think so long as they are of age. I need them to be of age because I mean, as long as they grown, that's, that's they business. I stay out of it. But long, but underage, I'm absolutely against that. I'm snitching. I think it's very important that you did bring up the fact that when it's like a double standard.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Brandy Evans]

When it, when it's a woman. Right. Who is older, going after a guy, it. I mean, you know, a young guy, people tend to like, leave that. Yeah, it's okay. Oh, you. You did that. That's. You pulled her. It's not okay. The whole time you don't even know how the young person is thinking. These young men, their minds are not even like, exactly. They trying to be cool at the end of the day. The whole time it's like, damn, I was really molested.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I was.

[Mimi Brown]

That's.

[Brandy Evans]

That's appropriate.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You wouldn't even make jokes about it if it was a woman.

[Brandy Evans]

No, that's, that's ugly point. That is a huge point. No one's making a joke about it when it's the one. Why are we joking about it when it's man, though? That's a wonderful question. No, for sure. Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Don't try to act fake deep now.

[Brandy Evans]

Yo, you make fun of it.

[DJ Envy]

It's how you cope.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm really hurting on the inside.

[DJ Envy]

You want to hug?

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, I'm Just joking. When you. Brandy, when you think about your evolution from dancer to actress, what part of your. Your past shows up the most in your. Your acting today?

[Brandy Evans]

I think as a dancer, we learn how to take direction. We learn how to take direction quick because you ain't got time for that. If you. If you were Lorianne Gibson and she said, I need you to point that toe and get to the end of the stage, by the next eight count, you gonna figure it out. So I feel like I took that especially with. On P Valley, because we had to do dancing and things of that sort. I was able to take that direction. So I think directors enjoy that. And I've always heard that dancers are the best actors because they can take direction easily. And we not. We not we have thick skin. So you literally could yell at me and be like, that sucks. I'll be like, for real, though, what you need now the next take to make it nice? Yeah, Like, I just. It's real hard for me to get in my feelings about that.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we got more with Brandy Evans when we come back. You know her from Reasonable Doubt. She also plays Mercedes on P Valley. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the best. Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Brandy Evans. You know her from Reasonable Doubt season three. Also, she plays Mercedes on P Valley. Charlemagne.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You know, people talk about the physicality of P. Valley all the time, but what's something mental about that role of Mercedes that people don't realize takes.

[Brandy Evans]

Oh, that's a really good question. My back is still in the workman's comp, though, right now. But I think mentally, for me, let me just say, because I taught high school English, so then I jumped into that accent so hard back home that a lot of times, my friend, be like, you. You can you get out of chuckalisa. Because what happened to your, like, what happened to your dialect? So I feel like it shifted that. But mentally, we were filming so late at night, you almost, like, you almost felt like you were part of that world so much.

[DJ Envy]

You.

[Brandy Evans]

You're going to bed when the. When the sun is up, and then you're going to work. And we're. We're literally on set at 2, 3 in the morning, and then going to bed at 7am like, you were really immersed in that world. So I think that this season you're gonna see some. Some things. And you'll understand when you see it that it took a lot for me to get Some of those things out of my head. Season two was tough because of my daughter and the abortion scene and all of that information. But I also. My daughter passed away, so I had a stillbirth, and so she would have been the same age. Lyric would have been the same age as Azaria or Terrika on P. Valley. So that part, you know, mentally, for me, was tough because I felt like Azaria was like my daughter in real life. So things like that, detaching from that at times. So those scenes were emotional. Those were the most emotional, but they were the most beautiful to me because it felt like I got my baby in a sense. It's like God gave me a Zaria, who played Terrika in that same age. So it was like I was able to have my baby girl. And cece, season two of P Valley, now that you say that. Yeah, you were more. Your Mercedes definitely was more emotional, and it was a lot more scenes where the. The viewers were crying, too. All the stakes at hand of trying to save her baby, and that was the whole thing. Just trying to make life better for herself and her child. And then her mother, Sadie's mom, that relationship was very tumultuous, and that was my real life a little bit. Not like that. And she wasn't Patrice Woodbine. Right. But me and my mom had a tumultuous relationship, so I was able to.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Or dancing.

[Brandy Evans]

And what was that?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm saying over your.

[DJ Envy]

No, just.

[Brandy Evans]

Just in life. No, not just in life. I think it was just that mother daughter dynamic. Sometimes that could just be like that. But when I start caring for her, you know, that had to, because you got to forgive. But I was able to use P Valley season one to get out everything I'd never say to my mama in real life. Oh, I get to say what now? Okay, so just healing. Healing through P Valley. I feel like that was a very healing.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That is a great segue because I was going after playing that dynamic change how you see generational trauma.

[Brandy Evans]

Absolutely. Absolutely. I was just talking to someone about that. Certain things. Is it necessary? Is it necessary to get that whooping? Is it necessary to beat them? Can you actually talk to them and tell them what's going on? You know, can we communicate better? So I do think playing those different roles, you don't have to yell and scream and belittle, you know, because the whole. The same person that you're belittling is the same person you want to come to you and trust that they can tell you their deep secrets. Come to me. Come to Me, we don't want to. We scared. So that, to me, made me pay attention to, you know what? If I'm blessed to be able to be a parent, I would parent so differently. But I also. The older I get, I also know we all do the best we can, because I feel like all of us, you know, our kids could probably say the same thing, like, well, you did this, this, you did that. You're doing the best you can. Yeah. And the older you get, you start realizing, you know what? Mama really did the best she could.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But I do realize, as a parent, every child challenges you different.

[Brandy Evans]

Absolutely.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Like, you. You think you're going to parent all of them the same.

[DJ Envy]

You can't.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, No. I mean, there's a core foundation of love. Right. You know, you love them, but, no, they. They all will challenge you in different ways.

[Brandy Evans]

Yeah, absolutely. Where did you challenge your mother? I don't know. Mama swing on me so quick. I don't. I don't know that I got that challenge. I might have tried the challenge one time and never again. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Mm.

[Brandy Evans]

Mm. I still to this day. But I also love that healthy respect, because to this day, I don't care if she in that wheelchair. I'm not gonna go talking crazy to her at all. That's my mama, and I feel like you only give one. You respect your parents. Yeah. How does she feel about your success? Have you ever just sat down and just talked to her about it? How does she. I'm not gonna cry. I'm not gonna. I don't know that she knows the Alzheimer's of it all. Yeah. I don't know that she knows. Almost every day, I'm reminding her of who I am.

[DJ Envy]

Does she remember you? I was gonna ask that.

[Brandy Evans]

Days, yes. Sometimes she doesn't. And I go and hide in the closet, and that's the biggest acting job I've ever done. I'll go put myself on speakerphone, and I'll go call her daughter Brandi. And then I'll hide in the room and talk to her, and I'll come back, and it's like, almost like the Notebook sometimes. Like, she remembers sometimes. Sometimes she doesn't. I'll say, you know, where do we live? She'll say, memphis, because she remembers Memphis. But then I'll point to myself on the screen, and like, she saw Reasonable Doubt and had an attitude. She was so upset. I was like, mama, it's not real. I really did not touch that boy.

[DJ Envy]

But then.

[Brandy Evans]

Then I'll come back, and then she'll be Like, I'll be like, that's me. And she was like, really? You know, so it's just. I've learned to not. Not make them confused more by. And just be like, yeah, you know what? It's okay. It's okay.

[DJ Envy]

That was one of the toughest things, things I ever seen my wife deal with. We were actually on a plane. We were coming back from overseas, Dubai. And we were in first class. And she got up, and she was trying to go downstairs because she said she had to go to work. And they, like, go to work. There's no work.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So she woke up.

[DJ Envy]

I was like, no, mom. This Daniel. And she did not know who her daughter was. And my wife started crying because she was like, how does my mom not know who she was? But then when I got up, she knew who I was. And it was the weirdest. It was the weirdest thing. Like, she knew me. Hey, Rashawn, I'm just trying to go to work. And I'm like, no, mama, this is. We're in a plane.

[Brandy Evans]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

She didn't know who her mom was, and. But when we landed, she did. But it was just. It hurt so much because she's like, this is my mother. Like, I'm her caregiver. I'm the one that makes her take her medicine and wash herself.

[Brandy Evans]

And we're in public. We're on a plane. It's very. Yeah. My mom asked me for her car keys the other day. I just went and laid them on her lap. Like, you just gotta. At this point, we just smile and play the game. I said, where you going? She's talking about to try the Turrell. Cause we from. She's from Turrell, Arkansas. I was like, okay. Then I was like, well, it's a little late right now, but I'm. Put the keys right here. I'm going to go to bed. You know, Like, I've learned to play with it. But then I go back in that room and cry, you know, because I try not to cry in front of her, but it is the hardest thing ever. It's like, mama don't remember me, but she asked me that time, like, what your mama name you? And I was like, brandi. She's like, oh, me too. And I was like, oh, my gosh, she doesn't know it's me.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Ask the question. What if you'd have went to sleep and heard that car crank up.

[DJ Envy]

Listen, listen.

[Brandy Evans]

I would have been happy. I would have been happy if I'm like, girl, get in the passenger seat, though. But yes.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What's the lesson from real life Brandy that Mercedes desperately needs?

[DJ Envy]

Ooh. Ooh.

[Brandy Evans]

That's a good question. Mercedes is pretty dope, maybe, that even when things look like they aren't gonna go the way you want them to keep going, don't let it break you. Because I feel like at times, you saw Mercedes break a little, but she always picked herself back up. But I think I've gotten better with as of late just being like, all right, it's gonna have to work out, because we. A lot of times we freak out first, and then we circle back. I'm getting better. Ain't there yet, but I'm getting better with just being like. It just is what it is. It's gonna work out.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So let's flip it. What's the lesson from Mercedes that real.

[Brandy Evans]

Life Brandy needs that hustle. Oh, that's good. You know what? Don't be afraid, because I think about, you know, Mercedes going after her gym, and I want to write my book. So as you. As you call me out on this in this moment, what you so scared of, Brandi, write your book.

[DJ Envy]

Don't write that story.

[Brandy Evans]

Yes, Brandi.

[Mimi Brown]

Okay.

[Brandy Evans]

All right. Yeah. Because she went after it anyway when things. And I always keep saying, yeah, I know why. I got time to write. I got mama. I got this and that. Mercedes figured it out.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Brandy Evans]

I love that. Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Thank you.

[Brandy Evans]

That was a good question. I had to get my girl up here. Thank you so much.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you for joining us.

[Brandy Evans]

Thank y' all for having me.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's right.

[DJ Envy]

It's Brandy Evans. Thank you for joining us.

[Brandy Evans]

Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. And y' all make sure y' all get y' all some caregiver merch. I have a caregiver strong merch shop.brandievans.com and I have one that says a shirt that says I don't have the capacity because it's okay to not have the capacity sometimes. And one that says caregiver strong, because it's a different type of strength when you're a caregiver ever.

[DJ Envy]

All right, Brandy Evans is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. All right, let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Brandy Evans]

Lauren becoming a straight thing.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Details.

[Brandy Evans]

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

[Charlamagne tha God]

She be having the latest on the be the largest.

[DJ Envy]

The Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne tha God]

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

[Brandy Evans]

What is the least on the breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Now, Lauren.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Lauren's born day was Saturday, correct? So she's on a beach somewhere.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's right.

[DJ Envy]

So Lauren sent me, though.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Did we figure out which one?

[DJ Envy]

She said her only bae. Now, Lauren set me up with all the rumor reports, so she said, hope you're doing okay and getting through the T envy. I can't wait to get to the pool after I sober up.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't want to see. I don't want to hear you spill.

[DJ Envy]

No tea until Milk Dud, Thumb head ass.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Who that is you.

[DJ Envy]

We've been at the going out stage, but I've been extra about him formally asking for a while, and he must have been tired of hearing my mouth, so he asked me.

[Charlamagne tha God]

All right, let me get Pastor Joel back up here, then explain to you the difference between a girlfriend and a wife.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, you better stop it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, because I just saw the picture. What we talking about is there was a picture that Lauren posted on her story. And, you know, homie had put the roses and everything, but it said on the window, it said, will you be my girlfriend?

[DJ Envy]

I'm like, huh, huh? Well, that's what she said.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Took out the country to have that.

[DJ Envy]

All right. She said, stop, Milk Dud. Dumb headaches. All right, now let's jump into it. So she sent me Summer Walker. Now, Summer Walker was trending all weekend because she sent Rich the kid a voice note that basically said, you can stay with your chick. I just want to be the side.

[Brandy Evans]

I'm not gonna bother y'. All. Like, you can buy me a new phone so she don't know the number. And save it as save it under Pizza Hut for all I care. I'm not gonna post nothing because y' all was never gonna stop each other anyway. That's why I just, like, kind of just up because she was acting crazy. She's always acting crazy. She'd be fighting people and everything, calling the flower shop, looking for the address. Like, I don't have time for that. I can't have a serious relationship with someone when they baby mama act like that. So I'm so glad that y' all are back together. I want y' all to be together forever, and I just want to with you because y' all was never gonna stop each other.

[DJ Envy]

Now we're talking about your changed man. You're off. What?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I. I thank you for reminding me. All I'm simply saying is I respect it. Like, I respect the side chick who knows their place. You don't want to be the turkey. She wants to be the yams. Right? She want to be the stuffing. She want to be the Mac and cheese.

[DJ Envy]

Now, Rich, the kid is in a relationship with Tory Bricks.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes. Luddite.

[DJ Envy]

And Summer Walker said, look, I know what it is. You got your thing going on, and I will be the side. And that audio leaked. People believe Rich the kid leaked that audio. So after the audio leaked, Summer Walker responded and said how she really felt.

[Brandy Evans]

I just want to be the side. That's what I was seeing. Like, I just want to be decided. I just want you to chill. I don't like him enough to lay up next to him every day. I don't even know how you do it. I'm not gonna start talking about him, but you know, the things about him. I was just trying to play my little position. He clearly won't stop. And, you know he's obsessive. You can, like, say that you're gonna leave him alone, and he will just call you back to. Back to back.

[DJ Envy]

Get to call your friends, get to.

[Brandy Evans]

Call your manager, get to call your assistant. Get to sending stuff. It's like free money. Every now and then, you just give in. Both of y' all are older than.

[DJ Envy]

Me, by the way.

[Brandy Evans]

You're old, and that's an old ass. I'm still in my 20s. Why would we be on the Internet as adults? We all have kids. Like, why are we even doing this? I just didn't even get the point of that. But anyway, I'm gonna say whatever I've got to say to that.

[Mimi Brown]

Babe, you think I really love him?

[Brandy Evans]

You think I really want him?

[DJ Envy]

If I did, you would be cooked.

[Brandy Evans]

Out on the street. That is obsessed.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She just wants to be the yams. Like, she just wants to be the Mac and cheese. She just wants to be the stuffing. Hey, man, there's a part of me.

[DJ Envy]

That respects it, but women are mad saying that this man is in a relationship, and if she knows she's in a relationship, she should fall back.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, But I wonder if two women could ever come to an agreement about this man. Because there's. There's a lot about what she said, and I don't. I want to take it out of them, because I don't know any of them personally. I'm just thinking about some of the stuff she said. She said, yo, if you. If you know your man is out there doing dirt or whatever, right? And you're not gonna leave him, I don't want him. I just want to be with him. Every couple of times, say, I just want to Be on the weekend or whatever.

[DJ Envy]

Correct.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I. Could two women ever come to an agreement about that? I don't know. I'm just asking. I ain't. I am. I'm just asking.

[DJ Envy]

Game. Well, Rich, the kid responded. Everybody heard the voice.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Man, are you still calling me right now?

[DJ Envy]

So what are you saying something? She could have had me, but she.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Was begging, so I didn't understand that. And he said what he said.

[DJ Envy]

He said she's still calling right now, that she's the one obsessed. That's what he's basically saying. So I don't know what happens. I don't know what goes on in that relationship now, sadly, we should open.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Up the phone lines next.

[DJ Envy]

What you want to ask?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Because I just. I just wanted. I just want to have a conversation about this because I just was. I saw this situation this weekend, and I was just thinking about it, and.

[DJ Envy]

I was just like, oh, you was thinking about it?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Oh, no, I was just thinking about it from the perspective of I. I kind of respect what summer coming from. She just want to be the side. But you got to get the turkey to agree to that. The turkey got to agree that you can be decide right.

[DJ Envy]

Well. And some sad news. It seems like Candy Burris and Todd Tucker split after 11 years of marriage and two children. They had decided to split ways and get a divorce. Now, people are assuming Lauren sent me this clip and said, play this clip because she believes this is where it comes from. I'm gonna be real with y' all.

[Charlamagne tha God]

For young women who are bosses and have all this money and got this extra.

[DJ Envy]

I. I understand the double standard, but I think you also need to understand the manager with the man that you chose, and you're allowed to choose you.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That you can't be.

[DJ Envy]

So my, my, my.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You. You have to open up within reason.

[DJ Envy]

I'm not saying going by little Bentleys and doing dumb, but you gotta invest in y' all and your future, and you gotta let your man feel like a man in those scenarios, because with.

[Charlamagne tha God]

All the money that you have, you can end up by yourself. You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

Because at times, that type of energy of it's mine, it's hard to hear.

[Brandy Evans]

Someone say, it's mine.

[DJ Envy]

In a relationship that's supposed to be. It's ours.

[Brandy Evans]

And it's not about, hey, I got this 10 million.

[DJ Envy]

Let me give you 5. It's not that. It's more so just knowing, like, yo, we got each other, you know, whatever, let's build. Let's make it happen. But when you Hear a person saying mine a lot. That sticks. Yeah. So Lauren's saying that. That she feels like the reason composite, the reason of the divorce could possibly. Because he wanted more in a relationship. I don't know. This is Lauren. Lauren's thing. And that is the latest with Lauren.

[Charlamagne tha God]

The biggest problem with the Summer and Tori.

[DJ Envy]

You back at that?

[Charlamagne tha God]

All right, what is. None of that should be public like that. Correct.

[DJ Envy]

That's what she said. That's what someone said.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah. That should have been a conversation amongst them if they was really serious about the whole Polynesian sauce thing. What is it? What is it? Polyamory, Whatever. Polynesian.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Poly.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Like that whole poly thing. Because I've heard Summer say that. I heard Summer say that just now. She cool with just being the stuff in the yams, the Mac and cheese side. Right. Sza wrote a song about the Weeknd. Right. Clearly, there's people out there that, you know, are comfortable with that, cool with that. But you got to get the turkey to agree.

[DJ Envy]

Well, you got. The main has to agree.

[Charlamagne tha God]

The main has to agree.

[DJ Envy]

And we'll open up the phone lines.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

800-585-1051. Is this a situation that can work? I guess that's what we're asking.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah. And I'm not saying I agree with it.

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm just saying that there's a part of me that can understand where everybody comes from.

[DJ Envy]

I can't even understand. I don't know what you talk about.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, I do. I do. I respect where some are coming from. I respect what she's saying.

[DJ Envy]

But not if the main doesn't understand.

[Charlamagne tha God]

It's like, then that's what I mean. Is this something that could actually be a thing?

[DJ Envy]

Okay. All right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And even when she said, I don't. I don't even know how you lay up with them all day. Right. What if you wanted to get rid of sometimes?

[DJ Envy]

All right, so we'll open up the phone lines and have that discussion. And lastly, I forgot to say that somebody sent her 10 boxes of pizza Hut. Because, remember, she said you could buy me a phone and say it's Pizza Hut under it. So they believe Tori sent her, like, 10 boxes of pizza Hut because they said she might have been starving.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Huh?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't know what you talking about. Let's talk about it.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, we'll open up the phone lines and discuss. All right, now, Charlamagne. Who giving that donkey, too?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Man 4 After the hour. You know, I was inspired to do this after watching Mayor elect Zoran. Mandani and the 47th President of the United States of America, 45 and 47, Donald J. Trump, have their meeting on Friday. So I just want all these politicians who be using a certain kind of rhetoric to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with them this morning. I'll explain more.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll get to that next. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Whoa, what a vibe we've got, y'. All. As always, it's classic HBCU energy. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chants, echoing, drums beating, Everybody showing that school pride. Moments like this, yeah, they call for a nice cold Coca Cola. Crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Mmm. Yeah, that taste always hit the right note. Just like the band at halftime. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere, and an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo. No matter the place, no matter the moment, Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going. This past weekend, like every other Sunday, you were on the court with the guys, playing ball. Just a pickup game, living out your hoop dreams. No triple doubles, but a mean set of threes in between buckets. One of the homies mentions he closed on a new crib. This is big. And while everyone's asking about the housewarming and making plans to celebrate, you're asking the real questions. Like, has he spoke to his State Farm agent yet about coverage? See, home ownership is one thing, but the right coverage is the real game changer. Even more than your last hot streak is how you protect your legacy. Dropping buckets and bars on the court. A State Farm agent can more than assist you with finding the right coverage for your new place. If you have a claim, your local agent can help you file it. Yep, that's right. Over the phone, in person, online, or on the app, they're ready to help you. And they don't drop the ball, if you know what I mean. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. What up, y'?

Problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man.

[Mimi Brown]

Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage.

[DJ Envy]

And yesterday was a really bad day.

[Charlamagne tha God]

For him and this is what he did.

[Brandy Evans]

And so we are in a state of emergency.

[DJ Envy]

Okay?

[Charlamagne tha God]

White supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society.

[DJ Envy]

But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.

[Charlamagne tha God]

The Breakfast Club, bitches.

[Brandy Evans]

All right, Charlene, please tell me, why.

[DJ Envy]

Was I your donkey of the day?

[Charlamagne tha God]

You know, donkey of the day for Monday, November 24th is inspired by the meeting between Mayor Alex Zoran mandani and the 45th and 47th president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump. If you haven't heard, on this past Friday, Zoran Mandani and Donald J. Trump had a meeting at the White House, okay. According to statements and reporting, they discussed affordability, the cost of living crisis, public safety, economic security and federal local cooperation. Zoran expressed that Even with deep ideological differences, there has to be a practical working relationship between the federal government and New York City. Let's listen to some of what was said.

[Brandy Evans]

Are you affirming that you think President.

[Mimi Brown]

Trump is a fascist?

[DJ Envy]

I've spoken about.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's okay. You can just say okay.

[DJ Envy]

It's easier.

[Charlamagne tha God]

It's easier than explaining it. I don't mind. Would you feel comfortable living in New.

[DJ Envy]

York City under a. Yeah, I would. I really would. Especially after the meeting.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Absolutely.

[DJ Envy]

We agree on a lot more than I would have thought. I am really looking forward to delivering for New Yorkers in partnership with the president on the affordability agenda. So we're going to help him, but.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I really think he has a chance to do a great job.

[DJ Envy]

I'll be cheering for him. Didn't mention anything about America.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I think he is going to surprise.

[DJ Envy]

Some conservative people, actually, and some very liberal people.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I think I met with a very. I met with a man who's a very rational person. They're being very cordial to each other, very nice to each other. I completely agree with that. And anyone who thought there wasn't going to be a working relationship between New York City and the federal government doesn't understand politics.

[DJ Envy]

Politics.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But the reason I have gathered us here today is because I don't want to hear any politicians call each other extreme names like fascists, communists, authoritarian wannabe dictator. None of that kind of rhetoric can come from politicians anymore. It's all dead. Because don't none of y' all really believe it, okay? And if you call someone that and then turn around and say, but I'm willing to work with them, it looks very hypocritical, okay? Leave that type of commentary for the pundits, all right? Like myself, for the social media, YouTube commentator crowd. And y' all go do your jobs, okay? Go govern. Go be diplomatic. Go do the politics thing, all right? That rhetoric is irresponsible in this climate, all right? Both parties rile people up. You know, have we, the people, mad at each other, fighting in the street, fighting online? Some folks literally commit. Commit acts of violence against their political opposition. Meanwhile, the politicians are out here working with. With each other, okay? Do we not remember some of the things Trump and Mandani said about each other? Let's listen.

[DJ Envy]

It's going to be hard for me as the president to give a lot.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Of money to New York, because if.

[DJ Envy]

You have a communist running New York.

[Charlamagne tha God]

All you're doing is wasting the money you're sending there. We have won because New Yorkers have.

[DJ Envy]

Stood up for a city they can afford where the mayor will use their power to reject Donald Trump's fascism. This guy is a communist at the highest level, and he wants to destroy New York. I will not be intimidated by this president. I will not be intimidated by anyone, because my job here is to serve the people of this communist from New York someday gets elected. I can't believe that's happening. That's a terrible thing for our country, by the way.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So hear me, President Trump, when I say this. To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us. Blah, blah, blah. It's all political theater, okay? And it's irresponsible because they got us out here choosing side, gang, gang on each other. Meanwhile, they working together. How you gonna be mad at a person because of who they voted for, who they supported politically? But then watch the people you support be willing to work with them. I know some of y' all out there saying, but they politicians, they have to work together. Yes, they do, and they should. But stop with the extreme rhetoric like fascism and communism, okay? Zoran Mandani was on NBC News yesterday, and he said he still believes Donald Trump is a fascist, but he's willing to work with him. Let's listen.

[Mimi Brown]

In that press conference with President Trump.

[Brandy Evans]

A reporter asked you whether you believe.

[DJ Envy]

That President Trump is, in fact, a.

[Brandy Evans]

Fascist, a word that you've used in the past. You were about to answer, then President.

[Mimi Brown]

Trump sort of jumped in and he.

[DJ Envy]

Said, quote, that's okay.

[Mimi Brown]

You can just say yes.

[DJ Envy]

It's.

[Mimi Brown]

It's easier than explaining it. So, Mr. Mayor elect, just to be very clear, do you think that President.

[DJ Envy]

Trump is a fascist?

[Charlamagne tha God]

And after President Trump said that, I said, yes.

[Brandy Evans]

So you do.

[DJ Envy]

And that's something that I've said in the past. I say it today.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And I think what I appreciated about.

[DJ Envy]

The conversation that I had with the president was that we were not shy about the places of disagreement about the politics that has brought us to this moment. And we also wanted to focus on what it could look like to deliver on a shared analysis of an affordability.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Crisis for New Yorkers. Listen, America. My name is Leonard McKelvey, commonly known as Charlemagne the God. And I believe words matter. Now, I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but based on everything I know about fascism, if someone truly believes a political figure is a fascist, then the idea of working with them is contradictory, okay? Fascism isn't a normal political disagreement, all right? Disagreeing on tax rates is a Normal political disagreement, economic issues, environmental concerns, those are normal political disagreements. Fascism is not okay. When you call someone a fascist, you are accusing them of being fundamentally anti democratic, authoritarian and willing to use the power of the state to crush opposition. Okay? If you believe someone is fascist, and historically and morally, you resist them or use institutions, law and coalitions to contain them, okay, limit their power, you organize against them, litigate against them, but you don't collaborate because collaboration with a fascist regime, even on small issues, legitimizes it. So if Zoran truly believes Trump is a fascist and working with him makes zero sense. But this is my issue. He doesn't fully believe Trump is a fascist, just like Trump doesn't fully believe Mandani is a communist. It's all political theater. Now. There are a lot of things Trump has done and has said that look like fascism and authoritarian strategy to me, but I feel like that's the media's job to call it out, okay? Politicians clearly can't do that because the words don't match the actions. And that's when you just look like a dishonest politician who says whatever to get elected. Because once again, if you think someone is a fascist but you believe you can work with them, that's where the question of hypocrisy becomes unavoidable. Okay, listen to me. I know I have a lisp, all right, so you don't take me serious. But you can't call someone a fascist and then treat them like a normal political partner. Those two positions contradict each other. So the real question for Trump, okay, Mandani. A real question for Trump and Mandani, you know, these are what should be asked of them. Hey, Trump, were you exaggerating when you called Mandani a communist? Hey, Zoran, were you exaggerating when you called Trump a fascist? Or Zoran, are you now minimizing fascism by agreeing to work with Trump? Or Trump, are you minimizing communism by agreeing to work with Zoran? Here's the answer to all these questions. It's politics as usual, and I'm sick of politicians doing this. Because once again, you know who it hurts the most?

[Brandy Evans]

Us.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You done told your aunt and three of your cousins f you you not invited to Thanksgiving this year because of who they supported politically. Meanwhile, the people we supported politically are willing to support each other. If Zoron and Trump can be in the White House smiling at each other and excessively touching on each other, then you and your family can enjoy Thanksgiving dinner together. Okay, listen, the all elected officials, if you call somebody a fascist or communist, but then sit down and work with them like everything is normal. You make those words meaningless. All right? It's dangerous to do that. It's dangerous to weaken those terms. And it confuses the public. When you call someone a fascist or communist, it's supposed to mean something serious. You talking Hitler, Mussolini, and politicians are using these terms for emotional leverage, not accuracy. And the danger in that. The danger in that, people. The public becomes numb to real authoritarian threats. Please give every politician who has done this, because it's not just Mandani and Trump. It's all of them. The biggest he haw.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes, indeed.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you for that donkey today.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Now, quickly, if you're just joining us, 800-585-1051. Summer Walker, she was talking about her relationship or the relationship she wants with Rich the kid and his baby moms, Tory Bricks, this is what she said about that relationship.

[Brandy Evans]

I just. I'm not gonna bother y'. All. Like, you can buy me a new phone so she don't know the number and save it as. Save it under Pizza Hut for all I care. I'm not gonna post nothing because y' all was never gonna stop each other anyway. That's why. I just, like, kind of just up because she was acting crazy. She's always acting crazy. She be fighting people and everything, calling a flower shop, looking for the address. Like, I don't have time for that. I can't have a serious relationship with someone when they baby mama act like that. So I'm so glad that y' all are back together. I want y' all to be together forever. And I just want to with you because y' all was never gonna stop each other.

[DJ Envy]

All right, you can stop it there. What's the question?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I. I just want to. I just want to know what y' all think of this.

[DJ Envy]

All right?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I want to open the phone. I just want to know what y' all think.

[DJ Envy]

585-105- when we'll hear your thoughts when we come back. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She doesn't want him. And something else she said in that conversation. She said, you know, you know, he out there doing dirt anyway, and you ain't gonna leave him. So it's almost kind of like, what is this, like, like, like synchronized cheating?

[DJ Envy]

What are you talking.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You know what I'm saying? You know, he's. You. You know what he's doing. You're not gonna leave them, so you might as well do it in a contained environment, you know? So I'm just. I'm just. My other thought is, I just wonder, could that. Could that work for some women?

[DJ Envy]

But this is the thing. We understand what Summer wants, but we don't know if that's what Tory wants.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But that's what I mean. I wonder if that could work for some women. Meaning if you're a. To. If you're a Tory or just any woman who's in that situation. And you know, you got your man Monday through Friday, this other chick just want him on the weekend. Is that something you're willing to do?

[DJ Envy]

That's called an open relationship. Right. Where you can.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Polynesian sauce, Polygon. What is it? Polyamory?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, something like that. It's the Neo, but the whole thing is, is they have to know.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't know if it's the Neo, though, because they're not all together.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, because Leo, they all stay in the same house.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I guess it is an open relationship.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but it's an open relationship. If Tory knew, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And that's my biggest.

[DJ Envy]

But Tory didn't know.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes, but.

[DJ Envy]

But people are mad at Summer because some are saying, I know you don't know and I know that you're back together, but this is still what I want. Anyway.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Well, some of the shit have went to. To her. A woman.

[DJ Envy]

The woman and said.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And not woman to the Internet, because now you make it.

[DJ Envy]

Well, somebody didn't go to the Internet. They. The. The audio was leaked. But someone said. Someone was like, why should we grown. Why can't we just deal with this behind scenes?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, leaked. I don't. Come on. Leaked from what? Who leaked it out there? People could leak that in.

[DJ Envy]

But someone wouldn't want that out there.

[Charlamagne tha God]

We don't know that.

[DJ Envy]

You're right.

[Brandy Evans]

You're right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You might want to force the issue. She might want to force the conversation. She might finally want to have the conversation. That was the only way for her to have a conversation. I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

Well, let's go to the phone lines. All right, we have. Hello? Who's this? This Angela. Hey, Angela. What's your thoughts?

[Brandy Evans]

Okay, so I feel like with the whole Summer situation, it could be a man that, you know, it could be two women that agrees to share a man, but I feel like the man is going to always want more.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Of course.

[Brandy Evans]

Don't nobody want to eat turkey and stuff all the damn time.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Excuse me.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Okay, so you saying if the women agree, it's cool.

[Brandy Evans]

If a woman agree, it's cool. But it's not gonna be just them, too.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, I mean, I get what you're saying. I guess everybody should just be honest with their wants in this situation. If this what the man wants, he should say it. If this what the side chick wants, she should say it. And the main. The main chick is actually the one who decides it. All right? Right. So she has to have a say, too.

[DJ Envy]

Hello, who's this?

[Brandy Evans]

This is Courtney from Right.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, Courtney. What's up?

[Brandy Evans]

I think I would get through. Good morning, Envy. Charlemagne. Just the best lady for Lauren.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Talk to us.

[Brandy Evans]

So, Summer Walker, why are you trying to. I love her. I love Summer. I don't want to make this bashing Summer session, but she brought it on herself because why are you trying to be in a serious relationship with someone that's already in a serious relationship?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Well, hold on now. That's not what I got from what she said. What I got from what she said is she don't want to be in a serious relationship. She's content with being the Mac and cheese. She do not want to be the turkey.

[Brandy Evans]

See, Charlemagne, she want to be in a relationship. The only reason that Summer is coming out saying, oh, I just want to be the side, is probably because Corey made rich. The kid cut her off and post all that. Is she hurt about it now because he. Because she was saying, oh, I'm happy you went back to your baby mama and major family work. Why even try to be with. Man? You got kids yourself. You know how it is to be a baby mama, so why even get in the midst of somebody else's baby mama, baby daddy, you know, drama. Whatever they got going on, whatever Richie kid do to Tory, that's them. But why you trying to get in it?

[DJ Envy]

I mean, I agree with it. That's what. That's what probably happened. He probably got caught up and his girl said, you know what? Post all this to show the world what it is.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And.

[DJ Envy]

But some are still standing on business. She's like, I don't care. I still want to be the side. But she has to agree with it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm just taking her for her word.

[DJ Envy]

And that's an open relationship.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, she said she wanted to be the side. I guess that's the question here. Like, you know, can you be okay with an open relationship? I just think that there's a lack of honesty that's happening in this situation, because I know plenty of people who can be honest about their wants, and they can make all of this work, Neo. Well, Neo different. Cause Neil got all. But I mean, Neil, yes, but he got all of them living together. This ain't even a living together situation. This is just, you know, your man out there doing dirt. You know, he doing it with me. I don't want him. Sza wrote a whole song about it that was a hit record and y' all loved it. You played it on this radio station a hundred times a day.

[DJ Envy]

You're right. Let's discuss. We'll take your calls when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're talking about Summer Walker. And she talked about the relationship she wants with Rich, the kid. And this is what she said.

[Brandy Evans]

I just want to be the side. That's what I was seeing. Like, I just want to be decided. I just want you to chill. I don't like him enough to lay up next to him every day. I don't even know how you do it. I'm not going to start talking about him. But you know, the things about him. I was just trying to play my little position. He clearly won't stop. And, you know, he's obsessive. You can, like, say that you're gonna leave him alone and he will just call you back to back to back.

[DJ Envy]

Get to call your friends, get to.

[Brandy Evans]

Call your manager, get to call your assistant. Get to sit and stuff. It's like free money. Every now and then you just give in. Both of y' all are older than me, by the way. You're old, and that's an old ass. I'm still in my 20s. Why would we be on the Internet as adults? We all have kids. Like, why are we even doing this? I just didn't even get the point of that. But anyway, I'm gonna say whatever I've got to say to that, Babe. You think I really love him? You think I really want him? If I did, you would be cooked out on the street. That is obsessed.

[DJ Envy]

So we're asking 800-585-1051. What are your thoughts?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Hello?

[DJ Envy]

Who's this?

[Brandy Evans]

It's Maisha.

[DJ Envy]

Maisha, talk to us.

[Brandy Evans]

Yes. Yeah, with the Summer Walker thing. Yeah. I'm not me per se. My being. Me being a country woman, I'm not OK with being a side. I'm sorry. I had another that tried me, but, you know, too many, bro. They're trying to have multiple women.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What you talking about? Being a country woman. I'm from South Carolina, okay? My daddy had a whole other family. Listen, my daddy had a whole other family. What are you talking about?

[Brandy Evans]

I mean, it's like that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I mean, down south, we couldn't. Come on. Now, them guys had. Growing up our daddies and uncle.

[DJ Envy]

But back in the day, they, they. They had money.

[Brandy Evans]

You know what I'm saying? It's a lot of around here still sleeping on their mama couch and still want this woman and that woman.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, thank you, mama. Hello?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't think the money had nothing to do with it.

[DJ Envy]

Now. The money had nothing to do with it. It's probably the d. Hello? Who's this?

[Brandy Evans]

Good morning, this is Trish.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, Trish, talk to us. What's your thoughts, Trish?

[Brandy Evans]

So my point of view is that.

[DJ Envy]

How is it that everyone is like.

[Brandy Evans]

Jumping on Summer Walker about just wanting.

[DJ Envy]

To be the side chick?

[Brandy Evans]

She didn't want to have fun. And it's his responsibility to stay faithful to his woman. I'm pretty sure he engaged with Summer Walker first. And everyone's putting it on her back to turn him down or not want to be, you know, engaging. And she just wants to have fun. How is it her responsibility to stay faithful to this girl if she's not in a relationship with her?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Now, listen, I agree with you, but I'm looking at the chat. The chat said, another bird on the line.

[DJ Envy]

They said side chick on the line.

[Charlamagne tha God]

It said side chick on the line. Another bird.

[Brandy Evans]

No, never the side chick.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, I'm with. I agree with you. There's a part of me that respects what Summer is. Summer's saying, like, look, I just want to be the side. I don't want to be the main. I'm fine being the stuffing, the yams, the Mac and cheese. I just think that, you know, it has to be a level of honesty from all parties involved. Summer's already been honest. Now it got. Now it's up to the man to be honest.

[DJ Envy]

Hello, who's this? Maria. Maria.

[Brandy Evans]

Yes. West side Story. Good morning, guys.

[DJ Envy]

That's all I know. Talk to us. What's your thoughts, Mama?

[Brandy Evans]

I gotta say, I honestly, absolutely am sure that it can work as long as the side knows a place.

[DJ Envy]

Have you been in that situation before?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I have.

[Brandy Evans]

I've been to therapy. Okay, for the record, I will never be a side.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So you said that the side needed to know her place. So clearly. Clearly in this situation, the side knows her place. So what should happen now?

[Brandy Evans]

Well, see what happens if the side knew her place. Let's say. Let's put that past tense. Because what happens is, you go into the situation, the only thing you owe this other person is a choice.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Right.

[Brandy Evans]

So when they go into this situation.

[Charlamagne tha God]

They go into it knowing exactly what.

[Brandy Evans]

It is, but very often, because women are indecisive as a whole, and when they go into it, all of a.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Sudden they want something different.

[Brandy Evans]

So then at that point, they have to make another choice.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay, I respect it.

[DJ Envy]

Well, thank you, Mama. Well, what's the moral of the story?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't know what the moral of the story is. I just wanted to have a discussion because I don't want nobody out here to think that, you know, this is something that I want. I'm just saying that when I heard Summer saying that, I was just like, damn.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You know, the fact that she know her place and knows what she wants to be is kind of commendable. You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. But it has to work. If it's open and every.

[Charlamagne tha God]

All the parties know, everybody gotta be honest.

[DJ Envy]

Right. You know, and the reason I keep mentioning and Neo is because I know Neil gets a lot of flack, but they all understand.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You got everybody living together. Yeah, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And they all understand what's going on. And if they all understand, if they happy and they like it, you gotta respect it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah. I mean, a conversation should be had. Right. If you're a man and you're in a situation like that, you. You know, you can't be with one woman, but you want to be with this woman as your main. But then you got a couple other things. I think you need to be honest with that woman about having an open relationship. That's just my personal opinion. Because it ain't cheating if you. If you're being honest. Right. It's only cheating if you're lying. Correct. Be honest about what you want. Right.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, that is. That's the topic when we come back. We got the latest with Lauren. Joel said, Tana said you might not need to know how to read.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, we'll explain when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. But Nicki Minaj, she put out a text over the weekend. Did you see the text?

[Charlamagne tha God]

No.

[DJ Envy]

Well, she put out a tweet that said United nations was a MAGA Flex. Oh, I did see that Trump on the text. Y' all should be afraid what I'm about to do next. Now, that's a playoff of Jay Z from on to the next one. When he says Obama on the Texture should be afraid of what I'm about to do next. Now people got at her and say, leave Trump alone. You shouldn't be riding with Trump. And you know, they got it up. But she didn't respond to that. Childish Gambino. He talks about health issues. Did you know he had a stroke?

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, I had no idea. He's doing this world tour, having lots of fun.

[DJ Envy]

I had a really bad pain in my head in Louisiana and I did the show anyway. I couldn't really see well, so. So when we went to Houston, I went to the hospital and the doctor was like, you had a stroke? And the first thing I thought was like, oh, like, here I am still copying Jamie Foxx. That's really like the second thing, the first thing was like, I'm letting everybody down. I know it's not true, but I've broken my foot. I always promised Ireland I'm gonna be there.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And I still haven't been.

[DJ Envy]

And they found a hole in my heart. So I had this surgery and then I had to have another surgery. So they say every now everybody has two lives and the second life starts when you realize you have one.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Why is he giving us health updates to a beat?

[DJ Envy]

Well, he was performing, actually at a show in la and.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Really? That was a show?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, while he was performing.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Good ass audio from a show.

[DJ Envy]

The guitarist was. Was playing the guitars. He was talking to the crowd about what happened and, you know, what happened with him and his whole. In the hole in his heart.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I would like to hear him go deeper on that conversation. You know, whenever I hear issues like that, because he's a young man, I know chad is like 42, 43, maybe.

[DJ Envy]

If he's that old.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, yeah. Now he's definitely like 42, 43. But it's just like when I hear, you know, conversations like that, I want to hear more because I just want to know what was going on with him health wise. Because I want to know what can I. What can I avoid if possible?

[DJ Envy]

No, you're absolutely right. And the fact that he said he got a headache, which made him go to the hospital, which told him he had a stroke. That's. Whoa, that scares me. All right. And lastly, like I told you guys, Lauren LaRosa is out. She's on a beach right now. So she wrote this. So she said, Meg the Stallion's man. Her man. Her man. Her man. Her man. Her baby. This is how she wrote it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Klay Thompson.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. She said got into an argument with Jay Morant. Jay Moran.

[Charlamagne tha God]

John Moran.

[DJ Envy]

I Said John Moran. I said, Jay Morant.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes, girl.

[DJ Envy]

She wrote Jay, what's going on? I don't know. Got into an argument with John Moran. John Morant was actually on the sideline. He wasn't playing in the game. They had just tripped Cooper Flagg and Klay Thompson was standing up for Cooper flag. They got into a big argument. John Morant called him a bum and you should retire. And Klay Thomas, he responded after the game with Ja.

[Charlamagne tha God]

He's a funny guy. He has a lot to say all the time, especially for a guy who rarely takes accountability.

[DJ Envy]

But you know what? That's for another day.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What a job. Sandra.

[DJ Envy]

On this occasion, nothing of intelligent depth. It was really just. Just running his mouth. He's been running his mouth for a.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Long time, and it's funny to run your mouth when you're on the bench.

[DJ Envy]

It's kind of the story of his career so far. Just leaving us wanting more. You know, we all want to see him out there and do his best.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But he's just been letting a lot of other stuff get in the way of that. We need that in the NBA.

[DJ Envy]

We need our best players to be out there.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And when you're a star, it comes with a great responsibility, and I hate to see that go to waste. Dropping a clues bombs with Clay Thompson. That was very classy response.

[DJ Envy]

It was.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I agree with all of it.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Like, John Morant should be the new face of the NBA. He should own the league. Like, the league should be in the palm of his hands. Like, honestly, the two best players in the NBA right now should be. Well, at least top five should be Zion Williamson and John Moran, both from South Carolina.

[DJ Envy]

But no, you got Ant, man. You got Wemby.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I said should be. If they were both playing at the level we know they both could play.

[DJ Envy]

Want them to play it?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah. Yes. They would be top five players in the NBA right now, no question. If they would have both reached their full potential, as expected.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but they're not top five. All right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah. Cause you know, Zion let snacks get in the way. And Ja let scraps get in the way.

[DJ Envy]

Jesus. All right, well, that is the latest with Lauren. All right. Thank you so much. I was gonna say thank you, Lauren, but I am saying thank you, Lauren. Cause I know she's listening right now. And he's 42 years old. How you listening right now when you're supposed to be on the beach?

[Charlamagne tha God]

She texted me. How time is it? Where she at? I don't know where she at yet. Hold on. It's 9:00am over there. How the hell she drunk at 9:00am?

[DJ Envy]

I don't know.

[Charlamagne tha God]

God damn.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know. All right, well, that is the latest for Lauren. When we come back, we got the People's Choice mix. Get your request in right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody.

Most wonderful time of the year. A season filled with family dinners, laughter and holiday shopping. But even in the middle of all of that joy, everyone needs a moment to slow down. The little pause between the music, the memories and the madness. And nothing makes that break better than an ice cold Coca Cola. It's that quick refresh that turns the holiday rush into calm, making the moment feel just right. It's the breath between the laughter and the late night rapping sessions. Because the best part of the holidays isn't having it all together, it's enjoying it while it's happening. Enjoy your Coca Cola Refresh your holidays.
