[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How was your night last night?

[DJ Envy]

Mine was good. I did absolutely, positively nothing, which I enjoy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I like doing nothing, too. But, you know, I'm in the middle of. Well, not in the middle because it's only episode three, but I've been watching Daredevil season three. I had to. I was watching White Lotus, but I had to move away from White Lotus because I don't know what season of White Lotus I was watching, But I know the last episode I saw there was a man eating another man's rear end like a bowl of Froot Loops.

[DJ Envy]

That sounds like a Daredevil movie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No man. Talking about something else. But now I'm watching Daredevil on Disney plus. Fantastic series Daredevil is. I want to tell y'all what happened last night because I woke up traumatized about it this morning, but don't worry about it. But if you saw episode three last night, you know how. Know how horrifying that was, man? Somebody just out there trying to do the right thing, you know, getting in trouble for doing the right thing, then having to deal with the powers that be and. Nevermind. I don't wanna get it. Yeah, please.

[DJ Envy]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't worry about it. But tens of millions of people do.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Well, also, again, salute to Jesse Laris. She's out in Atlanta. She had a couple of comedy shows, and she's having some technical difficulties. We'll get her on in a second.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Salute to Atlanta, man. Louis V. Get it right. You know. You know, we're gonna be in Atlanta April, April 26 for the third annual Black Effect Podcast Festival, which is happening at Pullman Yards in Atlanta like, it's been the last couple of years. So go get your tickets right [e-mail] podcast festival.

[DJ Envy]

All right, now, comedian Kev onstage will be joining us this morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And Kev onstage is, you know, he's been moving on the Internet for a while right now, but now he's got what? He's got a show on BET called Churchy.

[DJ Envy]

Churchy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's going into season two. He's on tour for his life from the Back Pew tour.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Amongst other things.

[DJ Envy]

That's right. So we'll. We'll talk to him in a little bit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talk all things Kevin on stage this morning.

[DJ Envy]

Are you tired of Trump yet?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Am I tired of Trump?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Every day is something new.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, he's the President.

[DJ Envy]

It just doesn't stop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's the President of the United States of America.

[DJ Envy]

There's been a lot of presidents, but it's not like this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't think you should ever get tired of the political process, local, local or national. I think that when you get tired, that's when you get taken advantage of. I don't think we should ever get tired. Tired is not the word, but we got. I'm interested. I watch CNN and MSNBC and Fox News every day. All of this is very interesting to me right now. I just was listening to the weekly show podcast with Jon Stewart on the way in. I just finished the episode he had with. Oh, man, what's her name? Her name was Maria Ressa. That was a fantastic episode. I mean, if you're looking for. Looking for a podcast to get actual information that is actually rooted in the reality of what's going on in America, you should listen to the weekly show podcast with Jon Stewart.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, when we come back, we got Morgan Wood joining us. She'll feel the same with front page news. I'm sure it'll be about Trump's tariffs. I'm sure to be about more tariffs and more tariffs. And more tariffs.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. So how can you get tired of something that's impacting us all that is our shared reality? The cost of goods.

[DJ Envy]

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning, Morgan.

[Morgan Wood]

Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlemagne the God. How y'all feeling?

[DJ Envy]

Good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Less black and highly favored. How you feeling, Morgan?

[Morgan Wood]

I'm feeling good, but, you know, I am tired. Tariff tired. Tariff. Okay, let's get into it. I know you was talking about it before the break. Envy. Or before the song Envy. So President Trump's tariffs on steel and aluminum are getting responses from the Europe. From Europe and Canada. The tariffs are 25 on metals that come into the US and that's from any country in the world, including our allies. Imagine that. So it's expected to raise the cost for U.S. automakers and other industries, although the move is supported by many American steel and aluminum manufacturers. Now, meanwhile, the European Union announced it will impose counterterroriffs on U.S. goods worth $28 billion. Canada also announced it will put 25% reciprocal tariffs on around $20 billion of all American goods. So let's just say that we stand to spend a lot more in the coming days.

[Just Hilarious]

So this comes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, America, this is not what we voted for either, by the way. You know, folks voted. Folks voted for Trump because he said he was going to improve the economy immediately. That is not happening.

[Morgan Wood]

Well, he said, you know, don't forget about those eggs that have dropped.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, you know what's so funny? Last week, when I was on my Brain Nidia's podcast, I was talking about how come everyone is so focused on eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs. Because Trump said he won the election with one word, which was groceries.

[DJ Envy]

Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So now he's saying the cost of eggs is down, but what about everything else? But that's what happens when they get us focusing on one thing.

[Morgan Wood]

No facts, because I don't even eat eggs whole time. So. But let's get into it. Trump. This comes as President Trump says the European Union has treated the US Badly for years. He commented on the new tariffs announced by the EU while meeting with Ireland's prime minister in the Oval Office yesterday, saying the EU was set up to take advantage of the United States. Trump said past leaders have put America in a bad spot. So let's hear more from President Trump in regards to those knocking it.

[DJ Envy]

They're doing what they should be doing, perhaps for the European Union, but it does create ill will. And as you know, we're going be doing reciprocal tariffs. So whatever they charge us, we're charging them. Nobody can complain about that. Whatever it is, it doesn't even matter what it is. If they charge us. If they charge us 25 or 20% or 10% or 2% or 200%, then that's what we're charging them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And so I don't know why people get upset about that, because there's nothing.

[DJ Envy]

More fair than that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thoughts the United States? My thoughts are the United States leaders are putting Americans in a bad spot. I know they love to get us to look at everybody else, but Doge firing all those federal workers, that's America doing that. You know, these tariffs Trump is implementing, that's America doing that. So, I mean, I know we want to point the fingers at other leaders, but our leaders are putting us in a very bad spot right now, economically.

[Morgan Wood]

Are we talking leaders with a plural? Okay, hold on. In other news, but relative, a stopgap funding bill is headed to the Senate with its fate uncertain as Friday's deadline to avoid government shutdown looms. Now, Democratic Congressman Tom Suazi voted against the bill, saying it's not smart to further empower the efforts of Doge, despite the fact that Republicans are happy with the results. He slammed Republicans, saying they have yet to come to the negotiating table. Can we hear more from Tom Suazie?

[DJ Envy]

The bottom line is if you want to get a deal done, you have to negotiate. And there's been no negotiation whatsoever. This has been a my way or the highway deal since the very beginning. Bottom line is the Republicans control the presidency, they control the Senate and they control the House.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They're in charge, they're running the whole thing.

[DJ Envy]

This is on them. And there's going to be a lot of finger pointing back and forth, but if you want to get a deal done where you need the other side's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Votes, you have to negotiate.

[Just Hilarious]

Mm.

[Morgan Wood]

That said, and the President said the same thing when it came to, you know, these wars in terms of ending these, these wars going on, whether it be the Ukraine, Russian war or what's going on with Hamas and in Israel. He says you got to talk to both order to negotiate. So, hey. The bill narrowly passed the House on Tuesday by a vote of 217 and 213. But all but one Republican supported the six month stop gap measure. While Republicans control a slight majority in the Senate, Kentucky's Rand Paul, he said he's firmly, he stands firmly against the bill. Now Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says Democrats have the votes that they need to block the Republican spending bill. So we will see what happens today. Hopefully today they can come to some sort of an agreement. And speaking of Chuck Schumer, you know, President Trump called him a Palestinian. I'll get more into that at the 7 o'clock hour. But, you know, it's getting real petty, real petty.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again. 800-585-1051. Call us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is your time to get it off your chest.

[DJ Envy]

Keep calling 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's this? It's Xavier out of Houston.

[DJ Envy]

Cactus, what up? Get off your chest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Houston H Town. How y'all doing this morning?

[DJ Envy]

Good, good, good. Talk to us, brother.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, I'd never vote for another Democrat again.

[DJ Envy]

Why? What's up? How, how do Trump try to sign.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

100 executive orders and you give up? Get a Million promises from a Democrat.

[DJ Envy]

But they don't never come through with.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

One promise they give you. You know, brother, you're not wrong. You know, you got one party that's about action and you got one party that's about inaction. And, you know, so I was literally having that conversation with a good friend of mine this week. That is why people have soured on Democrats, you know, regardless of what Republicans are doing. You see Republicans doing something, but that's.

[DJ Envy]

What I asked Congressman Al Green. I'm like, well, does this change the landscape of being a president? If we get a Democratic president back in office, does he do the same thing, executive orders and do do what he has to do, or does he sit back and just watch cuz Trump does what he wants to do, Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know it's, I know it's not ideal to sit home on the couches.

[DJ Envy]

And I vote again because I don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Want to vote Republican either.

[DJ Envy]

But at the same time, man, got.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Something got to be done right for us.

[DJ Envy]

I know everybody voted for Trump, voted for Kamala this time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm always vote my interest, though. I'm not going to ever say things like, I'm never going to vote for a Democrat ever again. But I don't, I can't see Democrats getting back in office no time soon unless something changes drastically.

[DJ Envy]

Hello? Who's this? Hey, good morning.

[Colleen Witt]

It's Ali out in Houston. How are y'all?

[DJ Envy]

Hey, Houston's on the chat, on the phone. Crazy. Good morning, Allie. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How's everybody doing, by the way? I want to say something, man. Houston has, like, probably top three most beautiful women in the world. Houston women are.

[DJ Envy]

I happen to agree. I happen to agree. I happen to be one. Yes. Well.

[Colleen Witt]

And I also love them.

[DJ Envy]

So good morning. So I have to get it off my chest.

[Colleen Witt]

Charlamagne.

[DJ Envy]

I love y'all.

[Colleen Witt]

I listen every day, usually through the app, because I don't catch y'all in the morning.

[DJ Envy]

However, I was listening this morning and I keep hearing when we're talking about the gender conversation. So when you're saying, you know, there's two genders, right?

[Colleen Witt]

There's the executive order and Trump said, whatever he said, two genders. And you're saying, you know, you don't understand that. You know, why? Like, what's the question?

[DJ Envy]

There's two genders, right? But transgendered women are women. Transgendered men are men.

[Colleen Witt]

It's not like a third gender out there. So.

[DJ Envy]

So when you're saying like, oh, they're.

[Colleen Witt]

Just using the orders.

[DJ Envy]

No, they're not. Because if they were. A transgendered woman is a woman. That is the gender. So does that make sense? Like, I feel like we've got to clarify that a little.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

According. According to President Trump's executive order, there are two genders, male and female.

[Colleen Witt]

Right. And a transgender woman is a female.

[DJ Envy]

A transgender male is a male.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm following. I'm just. I'm just following the rules. He signed an executive order, and there's male and female. That's it.

[DJ Envy]

I don't.

[Tia]

That's right.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. We're saying the same thing.

[Colleen Witt]

So a transgender woman is a woman. You see what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

We're saying the same thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I'm following executive orders.

[DJ Envy]

Well, listen, those executive orders, they don't. It doesn't make sense because a transgendered woman is a woman. So that is the gender.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Exactly.

[DJ Envy]

Women are women.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think. I don't. I'm not having this conversation. This is why. I don't care. I'm be honest with you. I don't care. I want everybody to be peaceful. I think everybody has the right to exist. I just don't care. I'm not. I'm not sitting there exercising no brain power on this conversation anymore for the rest of my life. Now that I can honestly say, I'm not exercising any brain power on for the rest of my life.

[DJ Envy]

That's okay.

[Colleen Witt]

I feel like we got to care about. Listen, you have listeners who are. Identify all kinds of ways.

[DJ Envy]

I do, but I feel like it's important to care.

[Colleen Witt]

It's important to care.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I agree. And I respect their right to exist. I respect everybody's right to exist.

[Colleen Witt]

Absolutely. Well, we can agree on that. I hope you'll have a great morning and.

[Just Hilarious]

You already know what it is.

[DJ Envy]

Envy, man. Yo, first of all, I gotta tell you, man, that song you produce with Jay Z, Hova, it's called us for a list. Like I said, I think it was Jay Z's birthday or something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You played that song?

[DJ Envy]

I love that song. I play excellent. I love that song from the old album. My old DJ album.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, brother. Next. Yo, I know you know people that know people, man. I'm a dj. Beach Myrtle beach is a very diverse place and people dying part of it all. Here Myrtle got this song like today.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've been holding on for a long time, man.

[DJ Envy]

I know you know people that know people kind of records like the idea for artists like Bruno Memorial. That would be crazy, man.

[Colleen Witt]

You know what the song Rick Rubin.

[DJ Envy]

Did, I got walk his way to run DMC Aerospace.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, sir.

[DJ Envy]

Yo, that Bruno Mars could either get with either like Cardi B or making this.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I gotta.

[DJ Envy]

That would be a crazy remix. Why don't you produce it? Why don't you find a producer and produce it and send it over to them, you gotta produce, you gotta make it, and I want you to make it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And we talk like it's just so easy to send a record to Cardi B. Megan thee Stallion.

[DJ Envy]

Well, he gotta make the record. He didn't even make the record.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shut up, man. If this man is in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, you know what I mean? He don't have no industry connections. That's why he's calling the radio station to see if we can help him.

[DJ Envy]

But he's not. He didn't even make the beat yet. He's not. All you need to do, get my telephone number ID or hit my Instagram levels.

[Just Hilarious]

L, E, L Z Number two.

[DJ Envy]

DJ Rock Level two.

[Just Hilarious]

DJ Rock.

[DJ Envy]

Let me pitch you this idea with it, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We can be paid together.

[DJ Envy]

That's what I'm saying. I love. I love you to death, brother. But I don't. I don't. I don't deal with artists and producers no more. Artists are crazy. And I. I'll tell you what we'll do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We'll put you on hold and we're gonna connect you with Trav. Trav is the guy who calls up here all the time. But you know one thing that people don't know about Travis? A great songwriter and producer. He can help you out with that.

[DJ Envy]

There you go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm serious.

[Just Hilarious]

He know who Trav is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Travis dope. And trust me, listen, listen. You never know who people gonna be in the future. But I'm telling you, Trav got a lot of talent.

[DJ Envy]

That's not what he wanted to hear. He wanted you to connect him to Bruno Mars and car.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, that's not how things work. It's a process.

[DJ Envy]

Eddie, get give him trav info 800-585-1051. Jess, you good?

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, I'm good.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we got the ladies with Lauren coming up. What we talking about?

[Colleen Witt]

Yes, we do. Now this is being reported and if it is true, Teyana Taylor, she took a mom shumper to the cleaners. They have a multi million dollar divorce settlement. The news just broke. We gonna get into it.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll talk about that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Morning, everybody.

[DJ Envy]

It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Just Hilarious]

Lauren becoming a straight face.

[DJ Envy]

She gets him from somebody that knows somebody.

[Colleen Witt]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She'd be having the latest on the.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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

[DJ Envy]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talk to me.

[Colleen Witt]

Alrighty. Also, as of right now, it is being reported by the Express Tribune that Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert have finalized their divorce and that Teyana Taylor will walk away with millions in assets and other things. So to break it down, Tiana will get four luxury homes, according to the outlet, valued at over $10 million. She'll get a one time seven figure payout from Iman Shumpert. She'll receive a few cars, including a $300,000 Maybach, a $70,000 Sprinter and a tour bus. She's allowed to remain in full ownership of her businesses. Iman is reportedly required to pay $8,000 a month in child support for their two daughters. And Iman will also have to cover the private school tuition of the babies, ensuring that their state of living and well being is well kept.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't believe it. I don't believe none of that. That story don't sound true at all.

[Just Hilarious]

What's left?

[Colleen Witt]

Nothing at all. If this is true. And I've reached out to attorneys and representatives for Imaw and Tiana. So I'm trying to figure out what's happening here, what's real, what's not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because, you know, I don't believe that story, number one, because it sounds unbelievable, but also because it's only reporting on what Tiana allegedly got. If it's a divorce settlement, it would tell you what Iman got as well.

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah. Because the way that the report is, is, is like written. It's like they both agreed to this. And back in like June, there have been conversations in verified reports that they were actually at a point where they were having conversation and coming to an ending, that they had like a deadline on it. So, yeah, there I feel like we would hear something from.

[DJ Envy]

What was this file that allegedly. What was this?

[Colleen Witt]

Georgia.

[DJ Envy]

Georgia.

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah, Georgia.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And none of the stories tell you what a man got.

[Colleen Witt]

Nope, not at all. I don't believe, I really don't believe that this is, this is a factual. That's why, you know, I reached out, but, well, if whatever it is, it's hot fire.

[Just Hilarious]

He got music. That's why he doing music.

[DJ Envy]

He just dropped a single yesterday, Right. A day ago.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Imagine a month. And all I want is the studio.

[Colleen Witt]

I saw Jess. Jesse, I didn't know music until I saw your video Jess, that you posted. I was like, oh, shoot, look at it.

[Just Hilarious]

Oh, the Jess with the mess.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

I was like, oh, wow. Okay, Iman.

[Colleen Witt]

All righty then.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Iman actually can't rap, though. I will see. He can actually.

[Just Hilarious]

Oh, no, no, no. He can rap and he can act. I mean, he in a lot of films.

[Colleen Witt]

I like him as an actor too.

[Just Hilarious]

He's in some films. He's been doing some things so.

[Colleen Witt]

Well, in other news. So you guys remember the track star who was called on camera allegedly hitting her opponent with a baton as they were racing?

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Colleen Witt]

So she has actually been charged with an assault charge after the viral clip. So the Lynchburg Commonwealth Attorney's office reported to Daily Mail that they have actually issued a petition for one count of assault and B battery against a Layla Everett. That is the one. The. The girl that had the baton in her hand. Now, the track meet was in Virginia, and the person that she struck, the little girl she struck, allegedly, is Kayleen Tucker. And they were running a 4 by 200 meter relay event at the time that this happened. Now, both girls have spoke out. A lot of people. A lot of people. When. Not a little.

[Just Hilarious]

When you said, when you say little girl, how. How old are they?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, high school.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, they were like 15. I thought they one was 15 or something like that.

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah. I could be wrong. I'll look up the age while we take a listen to this audio. Because Alayla Everett spoke out and people were not feeling what she had to say. Let's take a listen. They're going off of one angle. Like, I know what happened, but I can't. I don't have enough.

[DJ Envy]

Like, they weren't on the news.

[Colleen Witt]

I'm just a person by myself. Nobody's gonna believe me because I can admit from the video, it does look purposeful, but I know my intentions and I would never hit somebody on purpose because of jealousy. What would you say to her in this moment? I would apologize. I'm sorry you couldn't compete for the 300 meter dash. But everybody has feelings. So you're physically hurt, but you're not.

[DJ Envy]

Thinking of my mental right.

[Colleen Witt]

Hundreds of thousands of people attacking me and all of like her family is thinking of, oh, my daughter's hurt, so I don't care about her feelings.

[DJ Envy]

Damn.

[Just Hilarious]

You probably wasn't jealous.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[Just Hilarious]

You don't hit nobody because you're jealous. You probably hit him because she was frustrated in the moment. You swung that mop the back and was like flubing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He showed.

[Just Hilarious]

He was like, oh, you know what I mean? So.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but hit him in the head. The young girl got a concussion they said fell on the floor.

[Colleen Witt]

What do you Mean, she wasn't able to compete after they're in high school. I don't see the age. But they are in high school. I'm still looking for that.

[Just Hilarious]

Ain't that a metal baton?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. And I know she's young, but, you know, you do hear a lot of ego in her statement. You know what I'm saying? When she was like, I would never hit nobody out of jealousy and envy. You're kind of telling on yourself. And then she's like, I'm sorry you couldn't compete with me in the 300 meter.

[Just Hilarious]

Like, as you're pouring crying rivers like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, I know you got feelings, but nobody's thinking about me. You might be hurt, but think about me.

[Just Hilarious]

Me getting attacked. And poor shorty is like, yo, I have a concussion.

[Colleen Witt]

Like, physically attacked.

[Just Hilarious]

What are you talking about?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you're getting attacked because you made a poor choice, and there's consequences to your poor choice.

[DJ Envy]

And whatever you say, it looks like you hit her over the head. From that video, it looks like you hit her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y'all only seeing one angle. That's the only angle we needed.

[DJ Envy]

And anybody who wants track, I've never seen anybody baton go that out.

[Colleen Witt]

She said her benefit is no more angles.

[Just Hilarious]

Honestly, listen, it would have been crazy.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my goodness.

[Just Hilarious]

See that?

[DJ Envy]

Like, now, Jess, let me ask you a question. You're a mom, right? Your child is running child. And that your child gets hit over the head. What happens next?

[Colleen Witt]

Jess is joining the track team.

[Just Hilarious]

What are you talking about? What are you talking about? I'm down there.

[DJ Envy]

You know what I mean? It's like, as a parent, what do you do in that situation, right? You watching your baby girl run, and then you see the girl hit her over the head and she falls on the floor and she got a concussion. Like, what does a parent do at that point?

[Just Hilarious]

See, the thing is, I know it would take everything for me not to go on the field, but at the same time, I would be more upset with her response what she just said.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I agree.

[Just Hilarious]

I would be way more upset with that. Because you don't even have no type.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Of empathy, no remorse. I agree.

[Just Hilarious]

No remorse at all.

[Morgan Wood]

That's crazy.

[Colleen Witt]

Well, we also have the clip from when Kellyne Tucker, who was the woman or the girl who got hit with the baton. We have the audio from when she spoke out as well, too. Let's take a listen. On the back curve, I had kind of got cut off, and I tried to pass her the first time, so I let her go ahead. So I knew, like, when I got fully on the curve that I was just gonna have to push through and pass her. I still can't believe it. I'm still in shock.

[Just Hilarious]

Like, everyone's texting me, checking up on.

[Colleen Witt]

Me, and I appreciate that, but, like, I'm still trying to take it all in. I can't believe it happened. Why would you. Why did you do it? And why haven't you apologized yet?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, she did apologize, right? Didn't she apologize?

[DJ Envy]

Well, she did that first. She did that video first.

[Just Hilarious]

But, you know, I mean, I hit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

One young lady with high emotional intelligence and one who doesn't have high emotional intelligence, but I hope that neither one of these young ladies let this moment defy them for the rest of their lives.

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely.

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah. And judges define them. Judges actually were. They saw what happened, and. And they called it an attack, and they disqualified Nercom's team for the contact interference or physically interfering with another runner's actions.

[DJ Envy]

Was she arrested or she charged right now?

[Colleen Witt]

The. The charge just came down last night, so I don't have any information on an arrest, but the charge just came down last night.

[DJ Envy]

So what's she charged with? Assault.

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah, assault and battery, I believe I said at the top of this. Let me go back to it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She. She earned that, man.

[Colleen Witt]

Yep. She is facing one count of. Of assault and battery.

[DJ Envy]

Very sad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She earned that. I hope she learns from this situation all right.

[Just Hilarious]

And I do believe she is truly hurt, but she's hurt because it's happening to her. She's not even hurt because she hit the girl.

[DJ Envy]

Right. Because everybody's attacking us.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hundreds of thousands of people attacking me. It's not an attack. They're holding you accountable for something that they saw you do that they think was ridiculous.

[Colleen Witt]

Well, she did say she was receiving death threats too. Alila Everett, the girl who had the baton who allegedly hit the other girl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what's so crazy? That's kind of like. That's. That's a. I hate to say it, but that's a normal thing on the Internet. You gonna get somebody gonna threaten to kill you online all the time.

[DJ Envy]

It happen.

[Just Hilarious]

Just happened to me, like, a couple days ago. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Happens all the time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When I used to be. And I ain't been on Twitter since 2019, but when I used to be on Twitter, I would just wake up and tweet, thankful for thank you, God, for another day of life. And there'd be people. I wanted you to die. I wish you died this morning. So it's just like, that's kind of Just the Internet way. Yeah, I get it. I understand. You should take all threats serious. But that's kind of like a regular, common thing on the Internet.

[DJ Envy]

Somebody wants to say something somebody doesn't like. Yeah, if you say something somebody doesn't like, they won't kill you immediately. I hope you die.

[Just Hilarious]

People want me to die because I didn't told y'all to Shaq living like Neo, man. They in the comments talking about just, how could you like, they madder than him? And I'm going back over there tonight. But it's the craziest thing.

[Colleen Witt]

He put his hoes up now, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you go over there and you don't get a video of them white horse, I'm gonna be highly upset at you.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Colleen Witt]

We need intel.

[Just Hilarious]

He having a game night, yo. So I'm gonna get some footage. I got you.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

[DJ Envy]

[DJ Envy]

Old. She's 18.

[Colleen Witt]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, wow. So she'll be Charles as an adult. Problem.

[Colleen Witt]

Wow.

[DJ Envy]

Wow. All right, well, that's the latest with Lauren. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. And then comedian Kev on stage will be joining us. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up, wake up.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah, what's up, Envy? Charlemagne. Jess, y'all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good peace, Morgan.

[DJ Envy]

Yep.

[Morgan Wood]

All right, so look, if you missed it in the 6 o'clock hour, we were talking briefly about how President Trump called Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer a Palestinian. That's real rich, considering that Schumer is Jewish. So, yeah, he went after the Senate Minority Leader during his Oval Office meeting yesterday with Ireland's prime minister. And Trump called, yes. The first Jewish Senate leader in US History a Palestinian. Let's hear that audio.

[DJ Envy]

And Schumer is a Palestinian, as far as I'm concerned. You know, he's become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He's not Jewish anymore. He's a Palestinian.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah. So Trump's comment comes as. He was criticizing Democrats regarding, you know, of course, everything. The bill and all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Everything.

[Morgan Wood]

Just everything. Schumer has been critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. And during a rally last summer, Trump called Schumer a proud member of Hamas. So, you know, that's not cool, but, you know, that's our president. Meanwhile, New Yorkers should listen up. Okay, Border Czar Tom Homan.

[Morgan Wood]

I started to live a double life.

[DJ Envy]

When I was a teenager. Responsible and driven and wild and out of control. My head is pounding. I'm confused. I don't know why I'm in jail. It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction. Addiction took me to the darkest places.

[Morgan Wood]

I had an AK47 pointed at my head.

[DJ Envy]

But one night, a new door opened and I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community and I made my way back. This season. Join me on my journey through addiction and recovery. A story told in 12 steps. Listen to Crumbs as part of the.

[Morgan Wood]

Michael Dura Podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Shoot a warning to New York Governor Kathy Hochul that ICE agents could soon flood New York if she doesn't cooperate with the federal immigration crackdown. Homan was in Albany on Wednesday meeting with GOP lawmakers when he issued the warning during a news conference. Let's hear more from border czar Tom Homan.

[DJ Envy]

Sanctuary city is going to get exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What they don't want.

[DJ Envy]

More agents in the community and more.

[Morgan Wood]

Collateral rest because you have forced us.

[DJ Envy]

In the community because you failed to let us into jail.

[Morgan Wood]

So Homan went on to criticize a New York governor Kathy Hochul's immigrant friendly policies, but had nothing but praise for New York City Mayor Eric Adams for, quote, working with the Trump administration on rounding up illegals who commit crimes. What do you guys think this is going to impact your. A lot of, a lot of the listeners.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, if there are legals that commit crimes, I have no problem. I have no problem with ICE doing that job if they're illegals that are committing crimes.

[Morgan Wood]

So would you consider being here, you know, not necessarily having your papers a crime? Are you talking violent offenders? Are we just talking just people just being here illegally?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If they're here. I mean, if they're here, I mean, if they're here illegally, they're here illegally. If it, like, you know, here's the thing, we're acting like this hasn't happened in America before.

[Morgan Wood]

We do know we're acting like the system isn't backed up. I mean, it could be. You could be a citizen and the system is backed up. I mean, let's look at what's going on with this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you didn't say none. But you didn't say a citizen, though. You said somebody who's here illegally.

[DJ Envy]

Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, so you're conflating the two. If you're, if you're a citizen, you're a Citizen, if you're here illegally. Here illegally. I don't know what to tell people.

[Morgan Wood]

All right, well, you know, this comes as the federal judge is ruling that a pro Palestinian Columbia University activist will remain jailed in Louisiana following yesterday's deportation hearing in New York. Now, remember Mahmoud Khalil. He is a green card holding citizen. He also has or had a student visa. Manhattan Federal Judge Jesse Furman has ruled that M. Khalil will remain held in Louisiana while he fights or weighs further arguments in the deportation case. Now, again, as mentioned before, he is a green card holder. He was arrested by his, at his Columbia owned apartment on Saturday night by ICE agents. The White House says his pro Palestinian activism was anti Semitic and pro Hamas. His lawyers plan to file a new petition to free him while federal prosecutors are filing papers arguing the case should be moved out of New York. Now, look at this particular case. You know, Charlemagne, he's a green card holding citizen in the sense. Or they, they have actually since revoked that card. But he, he's in trouble for simply protesting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've been talking, I've been saying it all week. That's the story everybody should care about. Like, I've been saying it all week. He has a green card. He should be able to protest. He should have freedom of speech. I may not agree with, even, even if I don't agree with what he's saying, I agree with his right to say it.

[DJ Envy]

As long as he didn't break the laws, he should be fine.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But, but you, but when you're saying people are here illegally, that's different. If you say somebody's here illegally, if you say somebody's here illegally and they're committing crimes, that's a different conversation than somebody who is an actual citizen who has a green card.

[Morgan Wood]

What about illegally impending? You know, you're waiting on this, you're waiting on that. That's where I was getting at. When I'm saying the system is backed up.

[Just Hilarious]

So when you say pending, you mean, like, they just didn't get their car yet?

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah, they haven't got their card yet. They're going through the process. They're trying to, you know, but, you know, in the midst of them going through the process, you have all these crackdowns going on. I mean, you've been trying to go to the grocery store and get pulled up on by ice.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, I don't know how that works. Is it like, is it like when you, when you, you know, first get a car and you don't have your license plate and everything yet, but they give you. They give you something, you got to.

[DJ Envy]

Fill out certain documents, and documents got to be scanned.

[Just Hilarious]

I don't know how that works for your passport. Like, if you go and you, you know, you waiting for a passport, but anything back there.

[DJ Envy]

But what somebody else would say, too. If you're in another country and your documentation expired, they're going to deport you as well. If you're in another country and you don't have the right documentation and you get stopped and you get pulled over, they're going to send you out of there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I mean, we're acting like ICE hasn't always existed in some capacity, and ICE hasn't always been doing things like this. You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

Like.

[Morgan Wood]

No, for sure, for sure. But then also, things change with different administrations. You know, you have refugee programs. There's all different types of things. Whereas now this administration is, like, cracking down. Hey, just basically, if you're here, like you said, illegally, you got to go, right? All right, guys, let's move on from this topic. But Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is being criticized for her comments about black congressmen. The black congressman who disrupted President Trump's speech last week, Representative Al Green. Well, she referred to the Texas representative saying he was shaking his pimp cane at the president during a segment on a conservative cable network, Real America's Voice News, last Friday. Let's hear those comments from Lauren Boebert. Pimp cane. For him to go and shake his pimp cane at President Trump was absolutely abhorrent. So the Democratic congresswoman, Chrissy Houlihan from Pennsylvania has since introduced a resolution to have Colorado's Boebert censured. You remember, Al Green was censured in the House last week after he was removed from the House chamber. During that March 4 speech, Green had stood up shouting while waving his walking cane, not pimp cane. And Houlihan says Boebert's comments were racist and derogatory. What do you guys think?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think everybody need to start conserving their energy, man, and pick your battles. I mean, there's so many things that we should be going.

[DJ Envy]

I was getting disrespectful. When you. When you say the brother got a pimp cane, it is a walking cane. Like, what would he say? Only a hoe would know what a pimp cane look like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's crazy.

[DJ Envy]

Like, you don't start. They gotta stop disrespecting people now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've heard way worse than. You know what I mean? Than. That is all I'm saying, you know, Mark, you. You make me do want to have somebody up here who's an expert on deportations and immigration. Cause I just, you know, like, like I said, we. We're all up in arms now about ICE saying they want to deport a little illegals. You know, Obama deported a record over 400,000 unauthorized immigrants in 2013. They used to call Obama the deporter in chief. So I wonder what he was doing differently. That's all I'm saying. I just want to know. Oh, sure.

[Morgan Wood]

No, for sure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, we like to pick and choose what we get outraged over based on, you know, who does. Like.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So I just, I just want to know, you know, when they, when they talked about the record high of deportation of immigrants in 2013 that President Obama did, I just wonder, you know, what was it? Yeah. What was the status of those people, you know?

[Morgan Wood]

Right. No, for sure. We should all understand. We should all come to understand exactly what's going on in our country. All right, y'all. Well, that's your front page news.

All right. Now when we come back, Kev on stage will be joining us. We're gonna be kicking with Kevin on stage, comedian when we come back. Don't move us to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess, Hilarious Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lonely Rosa filling in for just this morning. And we got a special guest in the building. We have Kev on stage.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, sir.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What's up, y'all?

[DJ Envy]

How you feeling? Good morning. Good.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I've been wanting to hear that for a long time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How are you, my brother? I'm good, man.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Thank you guys for having me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, there's some people who might know. I got a two part question. Who, number one, who is Kev on stage and who is Kevin Frederick?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, it's a good question. Kev on stage is probably the performative version of Kevin Fredericks. Kev on stage is a comedian, entertainer. Pretty much do anything to make you laugh, laugh. Feel like Kevin Fredericks is a father, husband, business person. That's It. I think it's two sides. When I'm. When I'm at home, I'm Kevin Frederick, so I gotta make my family laugh. And I'm not like, yo, let me see this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Boo, booty boo, booty boo.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know what I'm saying? But when I leave that house, I'm Kev on stage. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, I think that's the difference.

[DJ Envy]

How'd you get into comedy, especially coming from the church? Yeah, I think you're a clean, quote, unquote, clean comic, as you say.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And when I say clean, I just don't cuss.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like, yeah, because clean has different connotations. Like, you can be clean where there's no vulgar material at all. You don't touch certain subjects. I really just don't cuss. I talk about everything else in my life. Everything else that I think is funny, I just don't cuss. I say, too, though. Like, I just. As a church kid, I could not cuss. My mom would rather me bring home a child than to cuss.

[DJ Envy]

Really?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. Cussing was so bad. And I. You know, a lot of churches, premarital sex, way worse.

[Just Hilarious]

Really?

[Lauren LaRosa]

What's a little baby amongst friends and family? You can have a baby, but cussing in the house? She was like, absolutely not. And I didn't trust myself to cuss at school and not cuss at home like most of the church kids did, so I pretty much did, you know, I. Premarital sex. I just never cussed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But don't practice bad habits.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, no, I just never. I felt like they would catch me slipping, and it's actually really a tool for me in comedy. I think a lot of times you got to work a little bit harder if you ain't cussing. Sometimes cuss words are just funny. So you just throw it out there and it's funny. But to answer your question, my comedy started in church. Like, making people laugh in church after church, my grandma would be like, do that thing Sister Daniels did when she fell over. Do that, do that person's shout, do how that person preached. And I. I would get to stay in the living room a little longer around grown folks and stuff like that. So once I realized, oh, this gets me attention, this gives me perks, I started leaning into that. And, you know, black church is where a lot of performers get their first start. So I. I did a talent show in church. 16. And I was, like, bitten by the bug then. And then shout out to Nate Jackson, a real big comedian now. He Had a comedy club in Tacoma, and he let me do 20, 25 minutes at his club every Thursday for, like, two years. And that's where I really, really honed my craft. After college, I was just going there every week, and a lot of times we had a lot of regulars there, so I couldn't do the same material. So I'd have to, like, do new jokes, get better, do new stuff. So I think that's. The church gives me the performance. The club helped me sharpen my tool.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, what made you keep saying the N word? Because I'm trying not to say the N word no more. So what made you not curse but say the N word?

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know, that wasn't a cuss word to me. Like, there was certain words that my.

[DJ Envy]

Mom, Charlamagne, been saying it for 15 years. He been trying to stop saying the N word.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, have you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but you be nigging. It's hard not. You know what I'm saying, Be nigging. It's hard not to use it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I think as a black kid, all my friends were saying was in black culture, movies, tv. And it wasn't a cuss word to my mom. It wasn't on the list. Like, some people couldn't say lie. Like my wife, she couldn't say lie in the house. My family off wasn't a cuss word and just didn't really bother them. I didn't say it a lot at home, but it didn't raise no flags. So there was, like, the one curse word I could say. So I said it so much I.

[DJ Envy]

Wanted to ask you about. You know, we had Big Mac here, one of my producers, and he was talking about what you did during COVID He was very impressed of. Of how Covid, who had everybody locked down, you made it into a business and a successful business. He said he's seen you go from. From small house to medium house to bigger house, to different car to this to this, that, and the other. So tell the people what you did during COVID That was something that was totally different.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, there were some other things in there, but that was the most visible shout out to Spectrum. Appreciate, y'all. Keep your distance. Comedy was our Covid comedy relief situation. So what I did in la, obviously everything was locked down during COVID And then we got the notification that you could have up to 25 people outside, socially distanced, two people here, here, six feet, two more people. And I could never do the zoom comedy. I could never get into it, because comedy is about timing. And that short delay from Zoom response. It threw me off. Some people could do it. I just, I needed instant reaction if it's funny or not. So once they did that, I had the idea of like, okay, if we get people to come outside, luckily LA is warm and it doesn't rain that often and we could split them up and get 25 people. I'll bring the comics in, we'll do COVID testing, put them up and we'll live stream the comedy. Because we didn't have nothing to do. Like we watching verses and you know, me and my wife was like, we was having like fight parties for verses. I was like, we really. She's making nachos. You know what I'm saying?

[Colleen Witt]

We like really getting parties.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, like them versus party. The early verses, that was the only thing to look forward to. Like, new interesting. Didn't even care about the, the quality. It was like, oh, versus coming on. So I was like, what if we do that for comedy? And that's basically where the idea came from.

[DJ Envy]

Said you run it out of Alice.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We. It was like the back parking lot of our partner's studio. Like it was a back parking lot. I mean we literally had 25, 30 people max. Maybe 35, including the comics. And we needed the comments. We were like, y'all stand here too. So we have as much audience as possible. We had to COVID test every single person. It was like 200 a test. It was crazy expensive. But yeah, I flew all these comics in and we live streamed their sets. We have like six comedians. Probably did over 150 micro specials over the two year period. Introduce a lot of comics to a lot of different people. A lot of people to live, a lot of different comments, a lot of comics. Biggest YouTube video is there. Keep your distance special. It was like my proudest moment to. To create opportunities to see black comedians put some money in their pockets, give them some tape to show the comedy clubs. Like I would ask them like, yo, can you send me your tape so I can market it? And they like, bro, I don't have no tape. Because most comedy clubs are drab and dark and you know, it's not. Not quality. So we gave them their specials to do with what they wanted afterwards. So they put them up on YouTube or chop them up and make reels. And it was fantastic. Dave Chappelle actually executed it first. Like, I had the idea and then I saw him do it in Ohio. So that was like, oh, great. Now I can say just how Dave did that, right? That's how we're going to do it.

[DJ Envy]

So you had no less than 10,000 people on the stream every other week.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right, Right, it was every other week. That was early Covid. So as guidelines relaxed, the ticket sales went down the at the top, at the peak of it was 10,000 tickets, 14,000 tickets, and we were averaging about 10,000 tickets. And that's like just people who purchase. But people were having basically five parties. They'd have 10, 15 people. So it was like almost closed circuit TV parties. So but as each state, once Atlanta was outside, then it was less, then Texas, it was less. But we did it for about two years straight and it was, it was fantastic. And now that's on Amazon. You can go watch those, all those specials on Amazon.

[Colleen Witt]

First of all, your partnerships go crazy. Yeah, for real. Amazon then. So I was gonna ask you after that. I know you did something with Patreon, with the women in comedy, because you forgot the women a lot in the pandemic.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, I did it. I didn't forget the women. I made sure there was at least one black woman and often two or three on every single show.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. D.

[Colleen Witt]

Well, I don't think I paid attention to that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because y'all don't see black women. No, black women don't never see black women. But they all want to say men don't see black women.

[Colleen Witt]

I know you from all Dev Digital, so I've seen you work with so many women and like different people. I didn't think about that. But when I was researching for this, I saw something in essence where you would talk about one of your homegirls was like, yo, like, where the women at? Like, can we like, hello? And then you did the partnership with Patreon.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So Patreon reached out to me, was like, what do you want to do? And to continue my efforts to support black women.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because you was already having black women. Black women don't see each other. I understand, I understand. I pray about this all the time.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Honestly, the truth is, the ratio of content comics, it's probably eight to two men to women anyway. So to make sure I had a black woman, I had to like, I was flying them out. At first I was only doing LA comics, but after I ran out of LA women, I was flying them out. Flying women from New York, Atlanta, everywhere.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's a black woman in la.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Black women comics.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But yeah, when Patreon reached out, they're like, what do you want to do? You want to do a special? And I was like, I want to produce stand up specials for the Black women, I think, are fun. So. So that's what we did. We had an amazing time in Mel Mitchell, Ty Davis, Paris. Paris Sachet. I think Grace came from New York. Geralyn, Indescribable did some time. And there's one person I'm forgetting. No, I said Ty. Okay. They did great. Okay, shout out to my Patreon. The stage crew. They support Keep your distance. They support Patreon. They buy a lot.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we got more with Kev on stage when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Env. Hilarious Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren laros is here as well. We're still kicking it with comedian Kev on stage.

[Colleen Witt]

Lauren, did your Internet life start, like, with you figuring out okay on the stage? I also should do Internet. Did that begin during the all Dev digital time or, like, what was the first, like, Internet breakthrough for you?

[Lauren LaRosa]

It was prior. Prior. Prior to even moving to la. It was back in the day, I had a group called the Playmakers. Me and my brother and my friend. Aunt, and we used to actually do physical play place like Tyler. We were trying to be Tyler Perry, but we live in Tacoma, Washington, and you just not going to be able to stand up a play in Tacoma. There's not enough black people. There's not enough stuff. Tyler started in Atlanta, so he was able to. His audience was there more. So I remember we were struggling. We had lost its investor. We lost $40,000 of his money. Like, he. And first we put up on ourselves. We do, like, high schools and churches that didn't go nowhere. Got an Investor, gave us $40,000. We didn't make that man a dime of his money back. So next time we got $20,000. And we flew this Tyler Perry promoter out. He was like, yo, this place is great. Like, Tyler would love to see this. You guys got to stand it up in Oakland. We're okay. What do we got to do? Like, you gonna help us? He was like, yes, I'm gonna help you set up in Oakland. All you need is $300,000.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All you need is $300,000.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I said, brother, I mean, you might as well be 300 million at that point. I probably had $756 in my account. Like, me and my wife made just enough to pay those bills. So I remember watching, like, Billy Sorrells at that time. He did things black girls say. I'd already been watching YouTube. Issa Dormtainment, Tim Chanda Rongsoo, all those people. But it didn't seem like a viable business for me because I didn't know how that worked. But Billy Sorrells is a comedian I knew, and his video did like 9 million views. So I thought, if we can go on the Internet and make people laugh, then when we go do our plays, then people will be like, oh, I saw them on the Internet. I'll come to the plays. Then as we started first two videos we did, Things black church girls say and Things black parents say. Both went really viral. A million views. At that time, that was a lot of views on YouTube.

[DJ Envy]

Still a lot of views.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Still a lot. But that happens more often now than it used to. To. And at that moment I was like, oh, actually, the Internet is a thing of its own. Like, if we just do that, that we should focus on building that. And then Churchills would bring us out. We would do stand up all over, you know, the United States, doing me and my brother and aunt. And then after that, I was like, I need to do my own stuff. Like, pretty much instantly I was like, I don't want to get boxed into just doing church stuff, because then that's all people will let you do. So I started my Kev onstage YouTube page, which is almost at a million followers, which has been a goal of mine from the very beginning. But it's been harder because the algorithm doesn't encourage you to subscribe like it used to because it's all just like, recommended. But the Internet became the goal, and since then, I probably making a video every single day. So to answer your question, it was those two videos.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And then all deaf. When I moved to la, I got a job there. And actually that was kind of tough because I had to take a step back from being talent because they were like, you are here to nurture the other people. You ain't going to build your channel. You ain't going to do none of that stuff. You do all that on your own time. Time. And I got fired from Boeing previously, and I was like, I can't get fired from no jobs no more. And it was hard to get a job in la. So I made sure I focused on those talent.

[DJ Envy]

The plane company.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Boeing, the plane company. I was in there.

[DJ Envy]

So when you left, that's when the planes just started acting up. You did quality control.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I have nothing to do with them flying.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I had nothing to do with them crashing.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I was doing a little bit of work in there. I ain't do much in there. But all deaf helped me to Develop other talent and helped me to develop shows like my job. I was the head of talent and head of creative at all deaf at the same time. So I helped, you know, bring talent in, develop them, and also help developing those shows. So roast me. Great taste. All those shows were developed underneath me. They. They were not my ideas. Like Patrick and Teddy and Tahir and all those group, you know, Meg, they would create the shows, but we brainstorm and stuff like that.

[DJ Envy]

So you were the. Russell was Russell at that time.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He's the one who hired me. Russell hired me. He called me. I had a meeting with them, and I was pitching a movie, and he was like, we don't want to do this, but why don't you come run talent for me? Called me as I left his house, and I started, like, within two weeks.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When did you start noticing the comedy in the church? Like, do you remember that first thing that you saw in the church that you found funny?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, man. Absolutely. So many things. Sister Lewis was Sister Lewis in our church. She might have been alive, but you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ain'T say God bless you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, God rest her soul. I just. I didn't want to bring it down, but. God, you said Sister Lewis.

[DJ Envy]

I'm. She got to be about 105, Sister L. God.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Sister Lewis went on to be with him, but she went on to be with him.

[Colleen Witt]

Oh, my God, that is so tabernacle.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But she worked, like, two jobs. But she loved church, and she could never stay awake. So to wake herself up, she would yell out. So she fell asleep. God is amazing. Like that. And everybody would look me. Ah, it's just Sister Lewis. But she do it where you're preaching. In the most inopportune moment, she would wake up and scream out. And I was like, nobody is saying anything about this. So when we get home, I'll be like, y'all. And then we'd be eating dinner. I'll be like, y'all remember Sister Lewis? God is amazing. And my grandma and them would bust out laughing. And she did that for, like, my whole childhood, like, 10 years straight. Nobody ever stopped her. Nobody ever said, hey, it's okay not to come. You can, you know, rest. So that's probably the first thing I noticed that was funny. And that's the first thing I. I copied.

[DJ Envy]

Did you do that joke in front of her?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, yeah. And she thought it was hilarious. And she could never pronounce my name. My name is Kevin. She'd be like, Calvin, and I would always be like Calvin. And my family thought that was hilarious. Hilarious. My great grandma was hilarious. She had a little, you know, five o'clock shadow. Yeah, she was. She was big, prickly. She had George Clooney, same beard.

[Colleen Witt]

Yo, I had aunts like that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, she was bearded up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You said you had that, too.

[Colleen Witt]

No, I had aunts like that. I had like a. I don't want to call them. Well, they're not here no more. I had. I had great, great. When I was younger. I remember my great great aunts down in Virginia. They were all very prickly.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Colleen Witt]

And I was like, oh, this is not supposed. I was always just a little confused.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, absolutely. So I'd make fun of my grandma. Like, grandma, you. You got this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got a beard.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And that was my great grandma, My grandma, my mom, my whole family thought that was funny. We had a family of nine in a three bedroom house. So laughter is what kept us sane, I guess. And we had a dog, too. Was like, man, we don't have enough money to feed us, why we got the dog? But that was not unusual, you know what I'm saying? So we were poor, but we didn't know we were poor because we were full of love and laughter. And that's kind of how I saw the world. So that was my approach.

[DJ Envy]

Now, your wife has been with you. Y'all been together 20 years? Over 20 years.

[Lauren LaRosa]

20 years married.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was gonna add that because when I'm watching you tell your story, Lori, she's.

[DJ Envy]

She's exciting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, she can feel it. Like, when you said the 40,000 thing.

[Colleen Witt]

She was like, y'all are one of my favorite husband and wives content duo. I mean, and I know you got your own lane of things that you do, but, like, y'all together and then separately, it's just like. Like, I bounce back and forth.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Thank you. Thank you.

[DJ Envy]

Has she always believed?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Always believed. Both always believed? I don't know if she was always believing in my version of how to get to things. So what she said was, was let's work on a plan to get there. Part of that work includes you getting a job and show me how you can do standup and how that can be feasible, but until then, let's do it. So that's what we did. We made a plan. I went and got a job. That's how I got the job at Boeing, Worked on my craft, worked my job at Boeing, then didn't stand up at night. Nate's became Thursdays, and I would do a show on Thursday and then somebody else on Friday, and then Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and then Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And now I'm like, oh, I'm making some money. Not much money, but a couple hundred bucks here and there, which at that time was still a lot of money. Still today is a lot of money money. Now comedy's paying for a bill here and there. First it was just gum, then gas, then the cell phone bill, then the electric bill. So then when the Internet came in and Awesomeness TV offered us a. Offered me a contract to write, direct, produce, shoot and edit my kids videos. Now comedy became income and she was like, okay, now I can see it. So that's when we moved to la, worked her Awesomeness got another job with Tracy Edmonds. Eventually led to the job.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tracy, yeah, shout out to Tracy. Tracy don't get the credit she deserves.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She doesn't. Another black person gave us, actually the $50,000 we used to move to LA will split between the three of me and aunt and Jay. But that's the money that we used to move to LA. She gave us $50,000 to make 10 videos for All Right TV, which was her YouTube, her version of like all deaf digital, which was like a faith based thing. But then she also taught us the game, right? She taught us everything she knew. She invited us to the house as a husband. There was a great funny story there, but that's your story to tell. So.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And then Albright TV fell apart. And then she was like, hey, guys, I did the best I could. And she moved on. Which was actually a lesson in of itself. It's like, people can help you, but when that money ends, it's every man for themselves.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like she. It's no hard feeling. She says, brother, there ain't no more money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like the investment.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She made the investment, she moved on to her other projects. At that point I learned, oh, it's not even no hard feelings. Like, brother, I did what I could do. We did business. I helped you as much as I could, but I'm not gonna reach in my personal pocket to help you. Like we do business together, we shake hands, we go our separate ways. So that was very valuable. And also shout out to her. I don't think we would have been able to move to LA without Tracey Edmonds.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we got more with comedian Kev on stage when we come back. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybo. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren laros is here as well. We're still kicking it with Comedian Kev on stage. His tour Live from the back Pew. Get your tickets now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Charlamagne, the Life from the back pew.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why'd you call it the back pew?

[Lauren LaRosa]

The Back Pew? The Back Pew tour. I called it that because, like, I wanted to differentiate my style of humor versus, like, just church humor. Because there's a lot of reverence and, you know, there's a lot of sacrilege. And church. Church. I was a kid who was in church every. Not just Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. We literally were in Bible study, evangelistical service, prayer, choir rehearsal, then church. And we always had to sit on the black pew. And the back pew was like, we in church, but we also planned, you know what I'm saying? So the way we saw stuff, that's like the vision I had of church was from the back pew. You had to go. You didn't have to sit in the front. You didn't always have to participate in every service, but you had to go. And so my mom actually made me participate, but I had to play drums or sing in the choir, do all that type of stuff. But the back pew was so people know, like, I'm going to be in church, but it's not going to be. Every joke's not going to be about church. I have a whole set segment where I just talk about regular stuff. I knew one of people to know it's for church kids, but black people, even if you didn't grow up in church, you have a concept of black church. But if you've never been to church, you can still come to this show because you only been once. You might probably sat on the back peel. So I want people to have an idea of what show they were coming to so they would know, like, it's not going to be every joke about God, but it's also not going to be so ridiculous that you're like, I shouldn't even be in a church. So I kind of walked that line. So that's why I called life in the back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Are you trying to get people into the church with your comedy?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I believe that is probably one of my subconscious goals. I don't think that's the intent, but I feel like it is my way where I feel like there's a lot of different types of ministries. There's music, there's preaching, there's pastoring. And I think comedy is one because a lot of black people are hurt by the church. They have negative feelings about the church. And, like, if they just come in and don't have a negative Experience, experience. Maybe they'll be interested in coming back. So I think that's probably one of my sub goals, is to just do my part. You know what I'm saying? Because black church number, church in general, numbers are dwindling, especially post Covid. And I don't want the black church to not exist anymore. So I think absolutely that's probably part of my goal.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think it's because of the Internet too, though. Like, I do Bedside Baptist every Sunday. I'm at Potter House on Sunday morning. Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. I don't think it's all negative. I do agree. Like, I don't think you have to physically go in the church anymore. I think there's so many different ways to engage with people. The Bible app, YouTube, like Pastor YPJ is one of my favorite preachers, and I engage with him on Instagram in two to three minute bits. Sarah Jake Roberts, who I know you're a fan of love. She's great online, on digital. I think she's actually so important to the black church because especially how her journey started and where it is now. Like, a lot of people need to see the Sarah Jake Roberts at the pulpit person who was imperfect and who was outcast. Like, I was growing up remembering how people were talking about her. So to see where she is now and the fact that she doesn't, you know, shy away from her past and how good she is at speaking and. And communicating, you know, God's word. I think she's super important voice. But also B. Simone's an important voice, Right. Like her turning to God. My niece is a hood, little sweet.

[Colleen Witt]

Baby.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And she got a face tattoo and she loves B. Simone's comedy. So when B. Simone says, I'm giving my life to Christ, my niece sees herself in more B. Simone than Sarah Jakes or T.D. jakes. So I think everybody's journey is important. It's not just the pastors. Everybody has a role to play. So I just want to play my role and do my part now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love it because, you know, I feel like we got to bring. You got to meet people where they are, basically.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? You can't just think people are going to come into the church or go on YouTube. And there's certain people like yourself, like Sarah Jakes, who know how to connect with culture. You know, like I got Sarah Jinx headlining the Black Effect Podcast festival that I do every year.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Absolutely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

On April 26th. And it's for that reason because I know she knows how to connect with.

I'm gonna tell you guys right now. I know my mother and I know my mom had a very forgiving heart. That is my story on plastic surgery. This is my truth.

And as always, you'll get my exclusive take on topics like love, personal growth, health, family ties, and more. And don't forget, I'll also be dishing out my best advice to you on episodes of Dear Cheekies. So my fiance and I have been together for 10 years.

He doesn't love you enough. Because if he loved you, he'd be faithful. It's going to be an exciting year, and I hope that you can join me, listen to Cheekies and Chill Season four as part of the Michael Tura Podcast Network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Absolutely. I think you need people who speak that language. I'm gonna tell you what really messed me up as a young Christian Christian. I thought we were all playing by the same rules. Like they said, we're not drinking. We really not drinking. And nobody's drinking, right? So I'm thinking that's the truth. And then I'm not even talking about the church. I'm talking about my actual family. I remember I was 18, came back, went to visit my grandma's. There was some Zimas in the refrigerator. I was like, yo, what's Zima? We don't drink. And my aunt was like, you don't drink. I was like, whatnot?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Our whole life, it was this.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She was like, well, we don't talk about it, but, Kev, come on. We drink. And then when I started working in the church, I remember realize pastors are like, well, this is how I live my life. But I don't want to mess up the flock, so I do this. And I think most people's problem, a lot of problems with Christianity is people have one life they live as a Christian and one life they actually live. So I refuse to live two separate lives. So I got in trouble with the Christian community because I went to the reunion concert, which was at the forum, and I was drinking, and I made A video. Kirk Franklin. They were at the Forum, and I was drinking. I made a video. I was like, oh, my gosh, I'm drinking. Drinking at the gospel concert. This is incongruent. And I was. I thought it was funny. And they were so mad. How dare you drink? How dare you? I was like, this. This is at the Forum. Like, I saw Bruno Mars two weeks ago. The line was long at the bar.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Said, oh, my God, it was water.

[Lauren LaRosa]

30 seconds ago, but now it's wine.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jesus. Jesus. That would have been a good joke.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, I'm so bad. I didn't think of that. I was water, y'all. I don't go home.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What happened?

[Lauren LaRosa]

But I'm like, I'm not going to act like I don't drink, you know, Like, I'm not going to present one way and then be a different person. I'm not going to act like. I don't say. Because the people be like that behind the scenes, behind the pulpit, but they think people can't take it, so they, you know, they present one way. So now you have two different versions of people that are there. And I was. I was a kid, you know, when I was young and saved my whole Christianity was trying to be more saved than everybody else. That's how I found my Christianity. That's what I was taught. Even forget, like, sinners more saved than other saved people. People. So I've let all that go. This is how I live my life. I'm a Christian who's also comedian, not a Christian comedian. And the difference there is, like, I don't. Every joke's not going to be about God, church, and all that type of stuff. Because what I've learned is, even if you do that, it's still not going to be enough. Because some people don't think you should make jokes about God at all. So you'll never be saved enough. You'll never be good enough. So forget it. I'm just going to live my life, do my thing. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, you don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And congratulations, Church. You got picked up.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, Churchy got picked up for season two. Bet plus shout out to Spring Hill, Jamal Henderson. Leslie. They were very instrumental in getting that picked up on season one and season two. So we just finished production on that in January. We're editing it now, and it'll be out, I believe, in June or July. And similar to, you know, keep your distance, my goal there is to not only tell my churchy story, right? Because to me, there Wasn't an authentic story about church from a person who grew up in church. You can always tell because they always have. In Hollywood, they always have pipe organs. And pipe organs do not. No black church has a pipe organ. It's a Hammond B3 organ. If there's an organ, they don't even really make them anymore like they used to. So if you hear that pipe organ and they have the choir robes on them, like, y'all not paying attention to church no more. People don't even wear choir robes like that. But same thing I did with Stand up is what I did with Churchy. Giving actors opportunities that they hadn't got. Mark JP Hood, brilliant actors, actor, hadn't had a chance to lead. In this season. We got Quinn Walters, who's been acting, but she always gets cast as, like, the sultry seductress. But she's hilarious. So in this role, she's playing funny. To hear more, comedian friend of mine who went on tour with me for two years, three years. He's a brilliant actor. He's been like four episodes of Abbott Elementary. Takes acting very seriously. So he's a good actor. Better actor than I am by a lot. He's in there. Tony Baker, comedian friend of mine. All these people can act, you know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A real good friend of yours, right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, yeah, that's my brother. That is my dog. Anthony Alfonsi, a brilliant actor. So all these people are getting an opportunity through me. And that's just in front of the camera, though. Behind the camera, black women. Behind the camera, black women in sound, black women, costume designers, makeup artists, hair, all. I hired as many black people as I possibly could because to me, as big of a problem in Hollywood, racism is a huge problem. Nepotism is much more dangerous because nepotism, they're not even thinking. I'm gonna exclude you. It's who am I gonna hire? It's who I know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, congratulations, man. I always say, if what you build only benefits you, is not big enough. Yeah, you're building some big things, my brother.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

1, 25.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Just Hilarious]

Lauren becoming a street f. She gets.

[DJ Envy]

Him through somebody that knows somebody detail.

[Colleen Witt]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on.

[DJ Envy]

The.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she has a little bit of everything. Who is the latest on the Breakfast Club? Talk to me.

[Colleen Witt]

Okay, so a crazy turn in events for Wendy Williams and her niece and now her niece, Alex Finney. Because there was a police report issued against Alex or. Or claiming that Alex Finny, Wendy Williams niece, broke the law because she took Wendy to dinner last night after Wendy left the hospital.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on now.

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah, so, okay, so what happened was.

[DJ Envy]

After Wendy, I was going say, break this down.

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah. After Wendy left the hospital, her niece who flew in from Miami because her aunt's in the hospital, right. Was like, they went back to where Wendy lives at the coterie place. Right. So I guess they wanted to get dinner. I'm assuming it's because Wendy's been going through a lot of these.

[DJ Envy]

So on the way back to her place, they stopped looking, got food.

[Colleen Witt]

No, on the. They went back to her place from the hospital.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Colleen Witt]

Once they're at their place, then they decide to leave and go to dinner.

[DJ Envy]

They let her out.

[Colleen Witt]

Listen. Listen to this. So they leave to go to dinner. Now they let her out, was your first response. That was my first response. Right. The police report that was filed basically says that Alex broke the law because she took Wendy to dinner. And the way that it's. It's. The way it is put together is like, as if she did it. Like she, like, broke her out of there and took her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought they were leaving the hospital.

[Colleen Witt]

No, no. It says that Wendy, they went back to the place. They went back to the co. Coterie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

After they thought they were leaving the hospital, but before they went back to the coterie, they stopped for dinner.

[Colleen Witt]

No, the re. And the reason why I'm making that point clear is because. Because after they left the coterie and Alex took her to dinner, and then his police report was filed. It was filed while they were at the dinner. Right. So when they get back, they then talk to cameras and we have that audio, but people want people close to Wendy wanted to make it clear Wendy can't leave the fifth floor memory unit without an attendant pushing the elevator because it's locked.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Locked? Yeah, it's a key.

[Colleen Witt]

So in order for Wendy to get down the building would have had to have known that she was Leaving. Secondly, a person close. And this is a TMZ report. A person close to when he told TMZ that an attendant actually accompanied Wendy and Alex down to the lobby and opened the door of their Uber for them to get in to go to dinner. So then the police reporters file by the facility. And then once dinner is over, Wendy and Alex arrive back to the facility. And here's audio of them reacting to what happened. Our recent events have been unbelievable. Came back from dinner, but I was told that a police were called because the coterie here was saying, allegedly I took my mom. Excuse me, my aunt from this facility and whisked her away without any sort of confirmation or approval, which, according to everything that we have learned in terms.

[Hunter]

Of this whole situation, wondering exactly how that correlates with the statements that the guardian has made.

[Colleen Witt]

That Wendy is able to come and go as she pleases.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Colleen Witt]

And that there are no family visits that are blocked. Clearly they are lying to me when they say I am.

[DJ Envy]

I can go out and do what I want to do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[DJ Envy]

This is my niece, Alex.

[Colleen Witt]

She just flew in from Miami. Okay.

[DJ Envy]

I just came from the hospital, so.

[Hunter]

We are going out to celebrate.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're good.

[DJ Envy]

We're back.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Didn't they just send us a letter saying they can come and go, she can come and go as you please?

[Colleen Witt]

That's what they were referring to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's a damn lie.

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah. And then yesterday, too, there was a story that broke about the judge in Wendy's case. It's a woman named Lisa Sokolov that this judge fired off a. A letter to Wendy's attorney. And she is very upset, which I don't understand. Yeah, she's very upset with Wendy and. And just some of the things that have been happening, I guess, you know, things that have been said in the media and stuff like that. She referenced a prior hearing in which she ordered that Wendy be moved to a new facility, which is. That was a big thing of hers.

[DJ Envy]

More restrictions, right?

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah. So apparently, Wendy's lawyer wrote back to this judge and said that, you know, it's wrong to move Wendy to an even more restrictive facility than where she's at right now. And the judge wrote in the email. In the email that she has always contended that Wendy will be given the independence she can handle. I question how well she has handled the independence that she is been given. Now, multiple sources would direct knowledge tell TMZ that the judge is pissed that Wendy has been speaking to the media about the. In a Bad way about the guardian. The guardian, she's telling her truth in the facility that she's in what she calls a luxury prison. And, and we're. They were also told that the judge has repeatedly warned Wendy not to speak to the media in the beginning.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Why?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why you don't want her to speak to the media? Because you don't want her to talk about this clear abuse of power that's going on.

[Colleen Witt]

The next sentence says although the judge never explained why she had a problem with Wendy speaking to the media. But in a very recent email, the judge showed her hand pretty clear. She told Wendy's lawyer, tell your client that if she wants a jewelry, she should refrain from trying to poison the jury pool. So basically what the judge feels like it's kind of unfair because Wendy Williams now they realizing when Wendy's body like who she is. Who she is.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. But the fact that if she didn't speak, she'd still be in this product, in this process and she wouldn't get a chance to. To be heard. But my question is, what's more restrictions than this? Because she can't go when she wants to leave. She can't leave the floor, she can't go outside. Right. She can't visit her father's rights.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And that's my point. Like why are they treating her like a prisoner? I feel, and I hate to play the race card, if Wendy was white, the media and a whole lot of people would be raising a lot more hell about this. Yeah, because I don't understand it. Like you got, you know, two individuals, these two miserable seats.

[Just Hilarious]

Well, they weren't raising hell about Britney Spears.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Huh.

[Just Hilarious]

People wasn't raising. The free Britney movement went on for a long time. Time before got free.

[Colleen Witt]

Oh, I get what you're saying. No, yeah, she was. Yeah. Britney was in the conservatorship for a while, but I.

[DJ Envy]

But that was based off her father.

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah, but I think, I think what happened was once you started hearing about Britney, we learned a little bit more of the details and we felt like, okay, the free Britney fan is not crazy. Then it got loud. But just to your point, she was there for a minute, a long time.

[Just Hilarious]

She was there her out is what I'm saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, but I feel like the media should be alive. Especially after those two last stories that you just read about the. What? The judge is basically retaliating against her for speaking to the media. And then they file a kidnapping charge against her niece yesterday because she took her to dinner. Come on, man, that's nuts.

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah, and and to clarify, because I know there were some questions about them going to dinner or whatever. Whatever what I'm told I just got an update. The reason why they went back to Wendy's where the facility she lives before they went to dinner is because they wanted to change clothes. Because Wendy just got out of the hospital. She wanted freshen herself stuff up before they went and grabbed something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And if you just sent a letter to us, right, the Breakfast Club saying that your person can come and go as they please, that's crazy doing. Then when they do go, you file a kidnapping charge against them.

[DJ Envy]

That don't make no sense.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on, man.

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah, kidnapping is a crazy. But that is it for the hour.

[DJ Envy]

All right, that's the latest with Lauren. And don't forget, get on the phone lines right now. 800-585-1051. Just fix my mess. If you have a relationship issues or problems, you can call us now. But we got donkey today. Up next one we talking about. Gentlemen.

[DJ Envy]

It's a read, but you're so good at it, you're trying to be a fake ass.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Charlamagne.

[Lauren LaRosa]

There's only one Charlemagne involved.

[Colleen Witt]

Damn Charlemagne.

[Just Hilarious]

Who you give a dunky of the day to now?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, sexy Red Donkey of the day for Thursday, March 13 goes to five Memphis men. Mikel Sanders, 18. Rashawn Bryant, 22. Jordan Smith, 19. Mondre Cole Mays, 18. And Desmond Suburbs, 18. All of them have been arrested. And Yonker Charlotte needs to let all you yns know something. Please, please, please stop with the organized crime. Seriously, man. If you can create, you know, a criminal enterprise and you can also, you also have the brains to start some type of small business. I'm just sick of hearing about young people coming together to form drug rings and fraud schemes, even organized theft. If you can put so much time and energy in doing the wrong thing, then you can put that same time and energy into doing the right thing. Okay, you youngins are not applying yourself properly. And you could be. And that's what frustrates me the most. Okay, Unity and group operation is a must. But why do we only seem to see you in the end? Group operation, when folks is coming together to commit crimes and this country not playing with you, okay? They are ready at all times to introduce you to their good friend Rico. And these five Memphis men, sadly, are the latest example of that. Would you like to know what the criminal behavior was? Would you? Everybody take a deep breath. Come on, Take a deep breath. Because this type of organized crime is triggering. Let's go to the Miami Herald for the report, please.

[DJ Envy]

Tennessee cops say traffic came to a halt at a downtown Memphis intersection when five men leapt from their car and began twerking before baffled motorists in Tennessee. It happened Monday, March 10, about three blocks east of the Mississippi river. And the dancing was still in progress when a police lieutenant drove up. What the officer saw was a 2016 Chevy Malibu blocking traffic at a green light and four men twerking around the car outside. A fifth man was spotted dancing on the car's hood. The five men were taken into custody so the offense would not happen again, and they were charged with obstructing traffic. The men ranged in age from 18 to 22. A motive behind the stunt was not released.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Five Memphis men got together to disrupt the lives of law abiding citizens just trying to go about their day. A vehicular blockade caused by booty. That's what this was. Hey, Mikel Rashon, Jordan Mondra, Desmond, when you was scrubbing the ground cheeks to concrete, did you think about the ambulance you may be keeping from getting to the hospital? The person who just got a job first day of work and they about to be late because of your traffic Tampering through twerk terrorism. This should be an episode of law and twerk victims unit. Okay? Not only is this a criminal enterprise, it's a whole production. You all probably had Glorilla blasting, okay? Cameras out just to synchronize routine routine of reckless rump shaking. Why? First degree felonious fraggle Maggotry. That's what this is, okay? The unlawful act of throwing it back in a way that disturbs the peace, blocks traffic, and disrupts people's everyday lives. Why we cannot let the ass cartel get away with this. Are we really going to sit back and allow an underground network of professional rump shakers to disrupt society? People like this don't think of anybody but themselves. The only real luxury any of us have is time, people, okay? Because it doesn't come back. So imagine you running Late for something important? Rushing to pick your kids up, Trying to make your Brazilian wax appointment. I have one today, by the way. And you're stuck in traffic because five grown ass loose booty bandits decided to turn the highway into magic city Monday. They are all charged with obstructing a highway or passageway. But I feel like this should be a freako case. This is a freako case, okay? There has to be a stiff appointment punishment for this organized booty movement because this was a coordinated effort to weaponize the wobble in public. Where is President Trump to sign an executive order to stop this street scripting syndicate, huh? If he doesn't intervene, this could get out of control, okay? Men will mimic this behavior all over America. This could get out of hand. Do you really want criminal organizations dedicated to twerk related infractions popping up all over the country? Do we really want booty trafficking? Diddy, don't you answer of that. Okay? The illegal transportation and distribution of reckless twerking across state lines. Do we need that? Let's do better. Please give Mel Sanders, Rashawn Bryant, Jordan Smith, Mondre Co Mays, and Desmond Su the biggest he hul.

[DJ Envy]

I have a question. Now, if this was back in your a day and five women back in.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My day, like you wasn't born in 1977.

[DJ Envy]

If five women were twerking in front of you, would you mind? Would you call the police back in your day?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

First of all, I don't have time for your hypotheticals. Let's deal with the reality of the situation. That's what's wrong with people nowadays. They don't never want to deal with the reality of things. Let's deal with the shared reality.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's time for Just Fix My Mess. And we have Tia on the line. Tia, good morning.

[Tia]

Good morning.

[Colleen Witt]

Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Now, it says that you have a question for Jess, and it's something somebody that just knows.

[Tia]

Yes, yes, yes. We are from Baltimore. I live in Atlanta now. Now, this person I'm talking about lives in Atlanta, too. You familiar with Jeff?

[Just Hilarious]

Well, who.

[Tia]

He was part of the. One of the camera crews that shot the video for the last movie. Well, one of the movies you did in Atlanta.

[DJ Envy]

Damn.

[Tia]

She said, yeah, yeah, videographer.

[DJ Envy]

He.

[Tia]

He talked like he know you, but he be lying a lot.

[DJ Envy]

So.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, he definitely don't know me, but you got a baby bombing. What? He. He denied a baby? What was.

[Tia]

No, we. We got a baby with each other. We was together for, like, a year or whatever. But when I found out I was pregnant, he got real upset and basically was like, I'd rather die than be a bed. And I was like, okay, but you knew this, and I already had one abortion for you. So we were together. It wasn't really working out. One day he got mad bus my window.

[Just Hilarious]

So you already had an abortion with y'all? So y'all had. Y'all were pregnant before, and you got an abortion?

[DJ Envy]

Exactly.

[Tia]

And I had the first abortion without a problem. And then he tried to, like, kind of, like, manipulate me. Like, why you even. I was like, yeah, I want no kids. But then I stopped dealing with him and was like, this is a wreck, because I want kids. So when we got back together. He was like, all right, I'm ready. We gonna do this. So we got pregnant real soon after. And I really ain't want that one either. And he always get mad when I say it, but I just gotta be honest. But I handled my business. We was together. And one day he bust my window. And that was kind of the last straw for me. And when he bust my window, he. I had a Jeep wrangler, a nice one, too. And he bust my window.

[DJ Envy]

What in the ghetto is this?

[Just Hilarious]

Bust your window? Like he's a. Or whatever. Like he's the one.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Tia]

With my Valencino perfume.

[Just Hilarious]

But his name is.

[Tia]

Pull him up. He done did a couple. Like I said, he done did some words. He might have just been a cameraman. You ain't taking.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No.

[DJ Envy]

I looked him up. I don't see him.

[Tia]

You can't even really fix my mess. But I figured maybe if I blast him. And since he claimed he knew you and everything.

[Just Hilarious]

You want him to take care of his son.

[Tia]

Daughter.

[Just Hilarious]

It's crazy because he played the first time. You from Baltimore. Come on, like you. You know what's up. He told you. You know, he was manipulative. He was manipulative. The first time you went and go hand.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You.

[Just Hilarious]

You took care of your business. You had the abortion, you know what I'm saying, For him. The first time. You know what I mean? You put your body through that and. And you.

[Tia]

Yeah, and that was my first one. I thought I was never gonna do that again.

[Just Hilarious]

Never said. Yeah, exactly. And you left him alone. You always knew you wanted kids. You know, he. And he lied again. The pom pom's good, you know what I'm saying? And it was so good that he lied to you and was able to get you to get pregnant again. You know what I'm saying? You allowed him to get pregnant.

[Tia]

Yep.

[Just Hilarious]

Again.

[Tia]

And I take that responsibility. Even. Even when he told me, like, I'd rather die than be a dead. I started to do an abortion because I know that's not right to put somebody in a predicament.

[Just Hilarious]

No, no, no. He said he rather die. You let him take his own life before you kill another baby. You don't do that. He already told you what he wanted to do. All right, well, cool. Go handle that then. Cause I'm having this one.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

You know what I'm saying? It is what it is.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Tia]

We got a lot going on. He had to get arrested. He got arrested on the 12th. He got out on Valentine's Day. Hopefully he was still able to go on a date, but I ain't been able to talk to him. He won't talk to me. He lying, telling people I'm. I'm crazy. I'm postpartum. He need the baby, but he won't respond to nothing I got.

[DJ Envy]

So.

[Tia]

I don't got a lawyer and everything, so it's in the courts now, but he should just, you know, communicate so we can take care of this baby. I don't want her all the time. I need a break. But he telling the world that I want to keep her away from him, so.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, well, unfortunately, this is the result of dealing with a F, N, I, G, G, A. You know what I'm saying? It is what it is. He was. He was effed up before, and then you just allowed him to come back and play. Take advantage of on your heartstrings. You know what I'm saying? Just take advantage of you. And now you got a beautiful baby girl that you got to do it all for. I'm sorry. You want to break as a mother, Sometimes we don't get those. You know what I mean, right? Sure, I know. But I love you, shorty. It's all right.

[Tia]

I appreciate it. Baltimore. Stand up.

[Just Hilarious]

You know, Already know. I'mma get in his ass.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just. I just want the record to show. That young lady sounded like a man, okay? She would always have to FaceTime me.

[Just Hilarious]

What?

[DJ Envy]

She's having a baby. She's pregnant.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know, but she sounded. She had a very manly voice. I was so confused.

[DJ Envy]

Just.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y'all start talking about studs, and I'm like, what? So then she talked about having babies. I was confused.

[DJ Envy]

[Just Hilarious]

What's up, girl?

[DJ Envy]

Hey. So, yes. I wanna just say I love you. I listen to y'all every morning. But I got this biggest issue. Okay? So I've been with my dude for six years. We have three kids. I have one from a prior relationship, but it's just not working. And we have responsibilities together, but I just cannot see myself with a future with him. And I really just don't know what to do after.

[Just Hilarious]

Three kids, right?

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

We got three babies together.

[Just Hilarious]

It took you three kids to realize you don't see a future with them.

[DJ Envy]

Huh. Well, in my defense, my last pregnancy was twins, so it really. We had a girl and then I had twins.

[Just Hilarious]

So two for one special.

[DJ Envy]

And they pretty. Yeah.

[Tia]

Three for one special.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay, so why can't you see yourself with them? What's up with them?

[DJ Envy]

Well, we were best friends prior to the relationship. And long story short, like, I. I just. I feel like we move too fast and, like, I can see ways about him that I just.

[Colleen Witt]

I don't like.

[DJ Envy]

Over the years, we've tried to, like, get counseling, we've tried to work together, but we just keep ending up back in the same space where we just, like, really, like, hate each other.

[Just Hilarious]

Jesus. Okay. Y'all live in the same house?

The most unwelcome window into the human psyche. Follow our out of his element hero as he engages in a series of ill conceived investigative hookups.

[Just Hilarious]

Y'all live in the same house we do. And the other response? I guess that's the responsibility they all have together, living with each other.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, that and the fact that we have the kids and the kids.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay, who's depending on who? Because you can't just move out and leave. I mean, that don't mean you gotta be with a person. Cause you got three kids by them. You know what I mean? You can go.

[Colleen Witt]

I'm saying.

[DJ Envy]

I just.

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah, I want to, but I.

[Just Hilarious]

But no. Tell me you don't want to start over.

[DJ Envy]

I feel manipulated. Yeah. And then I feel like I'm being manipulated. Like, every time I try to exit the relationship.

[Colleen Witt]

Well, of course.

[Just Hilarious]

Course. I mean, that's. That's what they do. Because you want out. That don't mean he went out, you know?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, right.

[Just Hilarious]

I'm gonna do whatever to make you stay. You got three of my kids. I'm probably gonna exactly trap you again, give you a fourth. Nobody's gonna want you after that. You know, that's how these.

[DJ Envy]

We're not trapping nothing else.

[Just Hilarious]

They can always come loose. Yo, just leave, then. So I'm. I'm giving you the real advice.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't.

[Just Hilarious]

Don't be miserable. Don't be miserable. You don't ever want to. You. You can leave. Just sit down, have a. Have a talk with him. Yo, we're not aligning anymore. We. We outgrew each other. We had three beautiful children.

[DJ Envy]

You're right.

[Just Hilarious]

You know what I mean? And we want best friends.

[DJ Envy]

Little boy, though, like, he wants to be a man so bad, but the conversation just turns childish.

[Just Hilarious]

But you gotta do it for you. You're not doing it for him. You're doing it for you. So you can exit properly. You get what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

Right?

[Just Hilarious]

That's fine. You can't be with a little boy. You're right. You already got what? How many little boys you already. Already at?

[DJ Envy]

I got two.

[Just Hilarious]

Exactly. And daddy just gonna have to grow up. You know what I mean? It is what it is. But you don't gotta. You don't gotta raise him, too. So just leave, babe.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. All right. Thank you. No problem. I just want to say to Charlamagne, that Booty bandit thing, like, yo, chill.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Why?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why they need to chill. What I got what I do.

[DJ Envy]

Yo, you was waiting for that story. You was waiting for that story. He was waiting for that one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Didn't make them do that.

[DJ Envy]

Have a good one. Just fix my mess.

[Just Hilarious]

800.

[DJ Envy]

5, 8, 5. 10, 5, 1. Now, we got the latest with Lauren coming up.

[Colleen Witt]

Yes. So involved member Dawn Robinson came out and let people know that she's been living in her car for the past three years. But, y'all, it might not be what we think it is.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll talk about that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Just Hilarious]

Lauren becoming a straight thing.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Some details.

[Colleen Witt]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on the.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talk to me.

[Colleen Witt]

So yesterday a video went viral of In Vogue member Dawn Robinson, who announced in the video that she has been living out of her car for some time. Let's take a listen to Dawn. Guys, for the past three, almost three years, I have been living in my car. I said it. Oh my God, it's out. I've been living in my car. If you guys were with me, what in 2020, I did like 105,000 interviews. In the interim, I was living with my parents in Vancouver, Vegas. And that was wonderful. Until it wasn't. I love my mom, but she became very angry and a lot of her anger she was taking out on me and I was her target all the time. And I was like, I can't deal with this. Yeah. So she said out of respect, she, you know, she decided to move out of her mom's house because she didn't want to get into with her mother, of course. And she said that at the time she had a person that was co managing her that knew was she was going through because when she left her mom's house, she went to her car. She was there for a couple days and was like, yo, you can't be in your car in Vegas. Come on over to la, I'll help you out. She got to la, things didn't work out the way that she thought that they would. He didn't have the room for her that she was. That he said that he had had. He put her up in a hotel for a bit for some months. It was several months. And she got to a point where she was like, this is too expensive. This makes no sense for either one of us. Like we. I got to do something better. So.

[DJ Envy]

So she wanted to live in the car. It's not that she was forced to.

[Colleen Witt]

Well, okay, so we're.

[DJ Envy]

Cuz she's. I seen they invoked the shows. They just did the All Star. They on the road.

[Colleen Witt]

She's no longer in the group though. Oh yeah, she left the group. I believe she left the group in 97. I'll double check that.

[Just Hilarious]

Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That went solo.

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah. She tried to go solo. Yeah. So don't let go. Dropped in 1996. She left the group in 1997 because she wanted to go solo and there's always been a conversation around like how bad their contracts were and stuff like that. And how they weren't able to really eat off of how they're big songs, but envy your question. So when she got to la, because she had done the car thing a bit in Vegas, when she got to la, she ended up back in her car and she kind of made the decision, but she didn't do it because she financially had another option.

[DJ Envy]

Gotcha.

[Colleen Witt]

Let's take a listen to dawn talking about her decision to live in her car in la. Guys, this is not like, oh, my God, poor Dawn. Oh, what was me? It's not that. Like I said, I'm learning about who I am. I'm learning myself as a person, as a woman. If you would have said to me while I was in invoke, you're gonna be living in your car one day.

[Just Hilarious]

I, huh, How can I do that?

[Colleen Witt]

I won't be able to live in my cup. We say that we can't do certain things before you even know we're capable. Thought. Nisi keeps telling me that when people find out, when the fans hear that you're living in your car, they're going to be so proud of you. Because I am documenting this whole adventure, I'm glad that I made this choice because I needed to go through this fire. If some of you are on your spiritual journey, you may know or may have heard of Dark Night of the Soul, that's when you go through, like, a period of isolation, separating yourself from family and friends. I needed to do this alone if I needed to do this for me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's horrible, man. You know, I mean, you hate to see anybody in that situation. But then when you think about, like, just the story career she's had, from En Vogue to Lucy Pearl to she was acting, she put out a solo album, like, to do all of those things. And you know, you been living out your car for the last three years. That is horrible.

[Just Hilarious]

And how she framed it, like, how she looks at it is like, nah, I'm not looking for sympathy. Like, I've learned how to live. I've learned to be okay, okay with living in my car.

[Colleen Witt]

Like, yeah, she turned it into a positive. And I think she. So she has a YouTube channel, it's called Official Dawn Robinson. And she's been documenting this for a month. And she talked about how she got into, like, there's like a whole community of people who live off the grid, and those people are people who choose to live in their cars. And there's different things you have to learn about how to isolate your windows in the rain.

[DJ Envy]

She got A cover her window so nobody knows who's in the car.

[Colleen Witt]

She talked about her dog passing away in the process of this and getting through that because he was living in the car with her.

[DJ Envy]

Like, don't talking to strangers.

[Colleen Witt]

Yes. It's a ton of different things that she's been teaching herself about this moment. But she does say that, you know, she can't wait to talk about getting over it because she does plan to put out another project. She does continue to plan to continue working. She talks about she showers in the gym. That's where she, like, washes up and takes care of herself. So it seems like, you know, I think she's doing this because she also mentioned in the pandemic how expensive people really. And they chose to do the same thing. Things are just really expensive right now, and it makes more sense for her to do it. And I think mentally this is a challenge for herself.

[Just Hilarious]

She learned how to live her life homeless. Like, she learned how to do that basically her way. You know, it's as crazy as that sounds. But they. So now people just gotta run it up. She On YouTube, like, running abuse up so she can get that check. But my thing is, like, where they gonna send it?

[DJ Envy]

Probably to her manager's house, I would assume, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A P.O. box.

[Colleen Witt]

Well, YouTube though. Your payouts happen monthly through a bank account. So she could open a bank account.

[Just Hilarious]

Still got a manager.

[Colleen Witt]

I don't know if that guy is still her manager or not, but when all I. Meanwhile, in the beginning of all of this, he was her manager. It was a co manager. So I don't know what that work situation is like, but if she has a bank account, she could get YouTube payouts.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It just made me think of something. Is there a call to action? Like, what's. Was there a call to action she put out?

[Colleen Witt]

You know what's so crazy?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're just gonna discuss her problems just.

[Colleen Witt]

So what's so crazy is in the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Video, providing a solution.

[Colleen Witt]

In the video, she said the call to action she's giving people is to continue watching her because she's using this inspire and she. She gives you just a bunch of motivation, inspiration things to live your life by. But I would tell people to just go subscribe to her YouTube channel, official Dawn Robinson. She's putting together all of these videos into a documentary eventually. But it's all about finding inspiration in a place where you have to be.

[Just Hilarious]

Isolated and the views count because that adds up to dollars. Yeah, definitely help her. It'll help her out monetarily for sure.

[DJ Envy]

But like you said, it's sad because she has so many records. She's such an influence to so many of us. Growing up within Vogue and Lucy Pearl, you just. You just hate to see people like that.

[Colleen Witt]

For sure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And what kind of car is it?

[DJ Envy]

She wouldn't tell you because then people know she doesn't be looking for her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, got you. Gotcha.

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah. Does it matter?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't. I don't know. Trying to. Trying to find something positive about this story. It's just.

[Colleen Witt]

She's fine if you go watch the video. Actually, that's why I tease it. Like, it might not be what we fully think. Because in the beginning, I was like, oh, my God. And then when I got through it, I couldn't. I was like, oh, okay. Her way of thinking is she. It's a very strong mental that she's built.

[DJ Envy]

It's not a hooptie. She drove from the East Coast. She said she drove from, I think, New York or Connecticut to the West Coast. So you're not driving that with a car that's gonna break that.

[Just Hilarious]

Imagine being.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, God bless her.

[Just Hilarious]

Just imagine being done right, and. And you, you know, you. You sleep. You chilling in the car, and then four of the twerk bandits just be outside. Just twerking outside the car.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, not right now. Not at a time like this.

[Just Hilarious]

Not right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Goddamn time like this.

[Just Hilarious]

Crazy. Okay, Because I just thought about that. Like, yeah, yo, they need to get a life because they can't be disrupting people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Disrupting people for no reason. You wouldn't take that ass cartel somewhere, please. Not right now. But see, that's. That's true, though. You don't know who people are. You surrounding their car, twerking. I got time for this.

[Colleen Witt]

She said that, like, she doesn't tell people, like, who she is. Sometimes people may recognize her, but unless you recognize her, she doesn't, like, mention it or whatever. For safety. That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But yeah, definitely. God bless her, man. Because the reality of the situation, that could be anybody at any time.

[Colleen Witt]

And that's why I said, go watch.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It, because that's what I want to know. I want to know what got her to this point.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Forget where she is now. What got her. What led to this?

[Colleen Witt]

Yeah, yeah. Well, she has a series of videos. I do suggest you go watch it. I think her mentality in this is strong for what she is going through.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And why does she wait three years to say something?

[Colleen Witt]

No, she's been talking about. She's been talking about the financial struggles and stuff. Like that. But I think this is the first time she directly admits the. I'm living in the car, cuz even in the video she's like, I did it finally. Yeah. So one more real quick to all the. The. The Drake fans that always come at us for us commenting on things of the show. The whole show. I want y'all to understand that.

[DJ Envy]

Say the whole show.

[Colleen Witt]

I want y. I want y'all to understand that not only are you guys paying attention, but Drake and the team are too, because the plot twist page posted, of course, posted a. A take in here that Jess that you had about his music.

[Just Hilarious]

Let.

[Colleen Witt]

Let's take a listen to the audio.

[Just Hilarious]

The L like old talking about.

[Colleen Witt]

No, y'all got to listen to this in whole from start to finish.

[Just Hilarious]

Did you.

[Colleen Witt]

Did you listen to it?

[Just Hilarious]

I. I didn't.

[Colleen Witt]

Okay.

[Morgan Wood]

Yesterday was my birthday.

[Just Hilarious]

Last thing I was thinking about was drift. I do like the album that he just dropped. Remember I was saying that we. You know, you did. You told me.

[Colleen Witt]

I told you and I told you.

[Just Hilarious]

No K. And he's getting back to the woman. The woman music. Like, you remember, he used to make music strictly for women. And that this. This what that was, by the way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This why I don't take nothing personal that just do or say. Because Jess is just a moody mother effort. Jess said, I don't like the album. Did you listen to it? No. The next day.

[DJ Envy]

I love it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love the album. Jessica moody ass more. Let Jessica go do whatever that was.

[Colleen Witt]

She let me find out. You the reason he posted that Instagram caption letting people know he was on his way.

[Just Hilarious]

Oh, my God. No, no, no. The album is cool. I just.

[Colleen Witt]

I don't know.

[Just Hilarious]

I just had an opinion too quick. That's all it is. It's like whatever, you know, it's the politics of things, guys. And you know, so. Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What is the plot twist, by the way?

[Colleen Witt]

The plot twist is Drake's alleged Fen the page. And they happen to post things in a timely manner whenever something happens with Drake. So the fans believe that this is the OVO squad and Drizzy himself. And I just wanted just to know. Know that Jersey cares about the more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Also, by the way.

[Colleen Witt]

The more you know, in the random thought.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

By the way, I knew exactly what the plot twist page was, but as a hater. Okay. Like, I don't know what the hell it is.
