Summary

Podcast Summary: The Breakfast Club – Reacting to Jay-Z’s Attorney Statement, Travis Hunter’s Fiancée Defense, and More

Release Date: December 17, 2024

1. Jay-Z’s Attorney Clarifies Relationship with Diddy

The episode kicks off with a deep dive into recent statements made by Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, asserting that Jay-Z and Diddy are not friends but merely professional associates. Charlamagne Tha God initiates the discussion, expressing skepticism about the authenticity of their relationship:

"[08:55] Charlamagne Tha God: ... nothing is going to change because these elected officials are owned by these gun lobbyists. It literally is the same story every single time."

This revelation sparks debate among the hosts about public perceptions of celebrity friendships versus actual personal relationships.

2. Tragic School Shooting in Madison, Wisconsin

A significant portion of the show is dedicated to addressing a heartbreaking incident at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison. The hosts express their condolences and discuss the broader issue of gun violence in schools. Paul Wall provides a detailed account of the event:

"[07:22] DJ Envy: They were a student, identified as a 15-year-old girl, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Three people were killed and several wounded."

Charlamagne emphasizes the frustration with ongoing gun violence and the lack of substantial legislative action:

"[08:35] Charlamagne Tha God: ... thoughts and prayers are not enough. To your point, Charlemagne? He said he's angry with Republicans in Congress for not doing more to control guns."

3. Federal Reserve’s Interest Rate Decisions

Shifting to economic news, the hosts discuss the Federal Reserve’s impending policy meeting, anticipating a potential interest rate cut. The discussion highlights the economic implications of such a move:

"[09:04] Paul Wall: ... the Federal Reserve is set to begin its two-day policy meeting today. The Fed is widely expected to cut interest rates once again when it announces its decision on Wednesday."

4. Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar Exchange Barbs

The episode features a heated exchange between Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar. Lil Wayne addresses perceived slights from Kendrick, referencing lyrics from Kendrick’s song "Alright":

"[19:53] DJ Envy: And this is what he said to Skip Bayless."

Charlamagne questions the sincerity of Lil Wayne’s comments, pondering whether it was a genuine confrontation or a reaction fueled by social media backlash.

5. Jamie Foxx’s Altercation at Birthday Dinner

Jamie Foxx’s recent altercation at a birthday dinner is another focal point. The incident occurred at Mr. Child and Beverly Hills, where offensive laser projections led to a confrontation:

"[23:30] Charlamagne Tha God: ... he got offended by that."

The hosts humorously speculate on the repercussions of such behavior, blending empathy with light-hearted banter.

6. Drone Sightings and National Security Concerns

Paul Wall joins the conversation to discuss the uptick in drone sightings across the Northeast. Despite statements from the White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby assuring the public of no imminent threat, Charlamagne remains unconvinced:

"[38:50] Charlamagne Tha God: I don't believe. I think they have no idea what those things are and it is."

The discussion delves into potential risks and the public’s growing unease over unregulated drone activity.

7. Defining Friendship Among the Hosts

A recurring theme of the episode is the exploration of what constitutes true friendship, especially in the context of high-profile relationships. The hosts share personal anecdotes and philosophies on trust, loyalty, and the distinction between friends and professional acquaintances.

"[95:25] Jess Hilarious: That's what I think. My definition of a friend by experience is just somebody that you can confide in, somebody that knows you."

Charlamagne extends the conversation to the responsibility that comes with personal relationships, advocating for meaningful connections over superficial associations.

8. DJ Envy’s Personal Journey and Advocacy

DJ Envy opens up about his weight loss journey and the impactful decision to undergo gastric sleeve surgery in 2009. He discusses the challenges of maintaining health and the importance of personal transformation:

"[46:04] DJ Envy: I had the gastric sleeve. That's when your boy was that 350."

Additionally, DJ Envy shares his advocacy work with Parents Against Predators, emphasizing the importance of supporting victims and creating a safe environment for children.

"[67:25] DJ Envy: ... I teamed up with my girl, Ms. Parker from Parents Against Predators. We do a lot in the community just in regards to that."

9. Paul Wall’s Musical Endeavors and Houston Music Scene

Paul Wall discusses his latest album, "Once Upon a Grind," highlighting collaborations with notable producers and his commitment to uplifting the Houston music scene. The conversation touches on the unique sounds emerging from Houston artists and the evolution of the local hip-hop culture.

"[48:35] DJ Envy: It's called Once Upon a Grind, produced by my boy, DJ Fresh, and also G Luck beat from Houston."

10. Positive Note and Final Thoughts

As the episode concludes, Charlamagne Tha God emphasizes the importance of self-discovery and relying on personal strength rather than external opinions:

"[98:38] Charlamagne Tha God: ... have a blessed day."

The hosts leave listeners with a motivational message, encouraging personal growth and resilience.

[Jess Hilarious]

Morning everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news now on Monday Night Football. The Falcons beat the Raiders last night 15, nine. And the Vikings beat the Bears 30 to 12. Good morning, Morgan.

[Morgan]

Good morning. Good morning.

[Paul Wall]

Happy Tuesday to umb, Charlemagne and Jess. Hilarious.

[Morgan]

How y'all feeling?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Please, Morgan.

[Morgan]

Good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good.

[Paul Wall]

Okay. So listen, y'all, it's tragic news to report out of Madison, Wisconsin. Police in Madison say three people are dead and several are wounded after a shooting at A K through 12 Christian School. Madison Police Chief Sean F. Barnes as a teacher and student at Abundant Life Abundant Life Christian School were shot and killed by a teenage student. He says the shooter has been identified as a 15 year old girl. Let's hear more from Madison Police Chief Sean Barnes on that incident.

[DJ Envy]

She was a student at the school and evidence suggests she died from a self inflicted gunshot wound. The shooting happened inside a classroom in a study hall of students from mixed grades. A second grade student called 911 to report a shooting had occurred at school.

[Paul Wall]

Six people. Six people were wounded in the shooting. Two students are critical and one teacher and three students are recovering. Now two of the injured have been released from the hospital. Police say they're still working to determine a motive. Madison Police Chief Sean Barnes, who spoke earlier, he went on to say they are investigating that motive and more needs to be done to prevent school shootings of this nature. Let's hear more from the Madison Presser with Police Chief Sean Barnes.

[DJ Envy]

Our detectives are working hard in the investigative process to find out as many answers as we can so that we can further prevent these things from happening. I think we can all agree that enough is enough and we have to come together to do everything we can.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To support our students to prevent press.

[DJ Envy]

Conferences like these from happening again and again and again.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Horrible. Let me pull out the script. Let me pull out the same script we use every time something like this happens. It's tragic. Thoughts and prayers to the family, sending healing energy to the families of the lives lost. Oh, and nothing is going to change because these elected officials are owned by these gun lobbyists. It literally is the same story every single time.

[Jess Hilarious]

And it's so damn sad, man. And it's like you said, the holidays are right here. But we hear this like you said, over and over and over again.

[Paul Wall]

Yeah. So the White House and President Biden has been briefed on the shooting. He issued a statement as well calling for Congress to act on gun control now. And I'm saying it is unacceptable that we're unable to protect our children from the scourge of gun violence. Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers called the shooting heartbreaking and he said the state will do what it can to support the students who survived. Many of Madison's local officials also offered their thoughts and prayers. Madison's Congressman Mark Pokin, however, he said thoughts and prayers are not enough. To your point, Charlemagne? He said he's angry with Republicans in Congress for not doing more to control guns. Vice President Kamala Harris also released a statement saying there is more work to be done to ensure that every person has the freedom to live safe from the horror of gun violence. Congress and state legislatures must make background checks universal, pass red flag and safe storage laws, and ban assault weapons. Again, we're not necessarily sure what's happening or, or what type of weapon was used outside of the fact that it was a gun. But of course I will keep you guys posted as this story develops. But again, very tragic story out of Madison, Wisconsin.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, there will never be any common sense gun legislation because the elected officials are owned by these gun lobbyists. And also man gun violence conversations. They can't just happen from these elected officials when mass shootings at schools happen. We need to have these convos too when CEOs are being gunned down in the middle of Manhattan as well. Like, you know, those same conversations have to happen all the time.

[Paul Wall]

Absolutely. Looks like we're running out of time a little bit in this segment. But just to switch gears really quickly, the Federal Reserve is set to begin its two day policy meeting today. The Fed is widely expected to cut interest rates once again when it announces its decision on Wednesday. It will be the third rate and final rate cut of the year with most economists expect expecting a quarter percentage point reduction. The federal funds rate, which is the interest rate banks charge each other for short term loans, is currently four and a half percent. At seven, we're going to talk more about. What are we going to talk more about? Oh, the drone sightings. Oh Lord, a lot has. We've got a lot to say more about these drone sightings. I know you guys talked to Pete Buttigieg yesterday about it, but yeah, the conversation continues about the drones. So we'll talk more at 7.

[Jess Hilarious]

Thank you Morgan. We'll see you next hour. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the event, phone lines are wide open again. 800-585-1051. Call us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

Some positivity this morning, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Called y'all earlier this year when me and my girl kind of split up and they didn't work out. But I ended up losing my place and was borderline losing my car to sleeping on my mom couch. But instead of feeling sorry for myself, I really started working twice as hard. And I was able to get better things. A new crib, new car, got primary custody of my kids. And everything's just looking up now. And I did it all within six months. All I had. No matter. Yes, man. It is all because of God, man. I just want to just say, instead of feeling sorry for yourself, man, if you down, you, no matter what administration is in office, you can get yourself out of it. Look at God.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right. Well, have a happy holiday, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's all, man.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm happy it worked out for you.

See, my kids don't believe that. I try that with my kids. My kids be like, okay, dad, we know saying is you and mom.

[Morgan]

Cut it out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They don't even play that game.

[Morgan]

Oh, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They play along because they like it. They'll play with the elf on the shelf and all that is the tooth fairy coming in quotation marks. They'll play along with us because they know we the dumbass adults who still like that type of stuff. Hey, yo, that's the truth ba humbug over there. We think we tricking the kids. The kids are like, okay, let mom and dad play. You know what I mean?

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, it is real. And salute to all the elves on the shelves. That's doing a lot of work. They got a lot of work. There's a lot of kids to watch. And I appreciate the elves on the shelf and Santa and all that other stuff.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The crazy part is, if you ever woke up in the middle of the night and saw them elves moving by themselves, you shoot Them crazy. Hey, yo, Drones is not the elves. The drones ain't in my house. I thought I'd shoot the fake Santa last night, though, because I went downstairs because, you know the Christmas lights be flickered. My wife goes crazy for Christmas, so the Christmas lights be flickering so they look like shadows. So I'm walking and I thought I saw a shadow outside. And then I look and then I saw something standing on the porch. Forgot it was that damn fake ass black Santa.

[Morgan]

And then you looked up, you saw her. It's humming on the wall. Oh, my God.

[Jess Hilarious]

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now we got just with the mess coming up. What we talking about?

[Morgan]

Lil Wayne say he cool with Kendrick. Drake gonna sue him next.

[Jess Hilarious]

Damn, damn.

[Morgan]

Get into it.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, we'll get into 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 Jess with the mess.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

News is real.

[Morgan]

Jessica Robin Moore just don't do no lies. She don't spare nobody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Worldwide jets worldwide message on the Breakfast Club. She's a culture shooter. She was able to get y'all to.

[Morgan]

See something and understand something that nobody could get you to see.

[DJ Envy]

It's time to set it off.

[Morgan]

All right, so Lil Wayne recently did an interview with Skip Bayless on his show, and during the conversation, he spoke on Kendrick Lamar. Before we get into the audio, I just want to remind you guys that things got a little shaky when Kendrick was announced that he was going to be performing for the super bowl halftime. And Wayne obviously felt slighted, but in reality, that actually had nothing to do with Kendrick. He just thought that, you know, he would have been up to do the Super Bowl. And when Kendrick dropped his album, the song whacked out murals. He had a line in there where he did hit at Lil Wayne, where he just said used to bump the car to three. I helped my rolly chain proud irony. I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down. Then Wayne posted like he might. He may have taken that slightly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He wanted a little smoke, you know.

[Morgan]

I'm a little smoking. Yeah, yeah. But this is what he said to Skip Bayless.

[Jess Hilarious]

We got the audio.

[Morgan]

Yep. Oh, you don't. Oh, okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

It just came in.

[Morgan]

We got it now. We got it, you know, when we speak.

[DJ Envy]

And obviously we can't control that, you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Know, so he didn't let me know. It ain't like he don't.

[DJ Envy]

It ain't like he can control It.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And also I've spoken to him and.

[DJ Envy]

I wished him all the best and.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Told him, you gotta kill it. You gotta kill it. Okay, well, did he say anything to enlighten you about these lyrics about you? I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down. I don't know exactly what that means.

[Morgan]

If he's sort of.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, there was no explanation that that was needed for that. I think I understand.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Again, that was my first time hearing.

[DJ Envy]

It when you just said, okay, I understand.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I understand.

[DJ Envy]

Though, as far as he.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like I said, I think he just mean that he's. He made it there, and his hard work is the reason why he made it there. Jesus. First of all, Wayne said that's his first time hearing.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's a lie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not gonna say it's a lie. Everybody don't be tuned in to everything.

[Jess Hilarious]

Then why would he tweet the time after that verse came out?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And it says, because everybody was tweeting him, acting like it was smoke. So he probably was reacting to what he saw on social media. I'm not saying that.

[Morgan]

I mean, I don't know either way, definitely listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But if he said he didn't, I can only take his word. But God dang it, could we stop? Drake has suffered enough. Drake been out here fighting for his life all year, and here Wayne go calling his number one op to congratulate him.

[Morgan]

You gonna sue him now?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's the holiday season. Just. Hanukkah's next week. Not right now, Wayne.

[Morgan]

I know, but he had. He had to. He had to clear it up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What if Wayne hung up the phone with Kendrick? Like, hey, by the way, you was right. That was conniving. Like, come on, man.

[Morgan]

I know, but he. I. I'm happy. I'm happy that they cool. They ain't got no bad blood, no. Nothing like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But what about Aubrey?

[Morgan]

What about Aubrey?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn. He.

[Morgan]

He's so busy judging Drake contest in Toronto. Let him do that. Shoot, that's what he wanted to see.

[Jess Hilarious]

But, ah, is it like, if that's your man. Yeah, you calling and you make things good with. With the op.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

I mean, that ain't just a. That's even just a little op.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, that's the.

[Morgan]

Yeah, well, according to Drake, he's a little op, but yeah, he. He is the biggest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Or maybe we think that's his man now. Maybe that's not his man. Maybe we don't know these people, relationships like that.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's not his friend.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, maybe not.

[Morgan]

We will see. Nobody's friends always He's. He always tell on himself, so we'll see how he feels. He can't hide it. He won't be able to hide it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Drake got no friends outside of Toronto.

[Morgan]

That's why he been there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right. He just paid $10,000 for an extra friend. That whole look, the one who looked like that was a friend contest. He was looking for a friend. That wasn't a lookalike contest. One of y'all gonna be my friend, period.

[Morgan]

Anyway, more Jamie Foxx details. So yesterday we reported that Jamie Foxx got into an altercation at Mr. Child and Beverly Hills during his birthday dinner. Now, since we reported that, more witnesses came out and revealed more details about it, right? So apparently Jamie Foxx, he was having a dinner with about 50 guests. I didn't know that. Remember yesterday when, you know, it was like 50 people and he, his, his table was on the ground level of the restaurant, upstairs in the VIP section. There was a Christmas party going on and that was the production team of Jackass. Like, you know, Johnny Knoxville and all of them.

[Jess Hilarious]

That show around Jinx, right?

[Morgan]

I'm still on. I'm not sure obviously if the production team was having a Christmas party. Obviously it is. Or maybe even coming back. Johnny and them weren't there. The main cast, they weren't there. It was just their production team and the production crew. They. They must have noticed Jamie, like, oh, he here for his birthday, so they sent him a drink. Now, Jamie don't drink. So. But. But he didn't refuse to drink. He took it. He just didn't. He didn't drink the drink. Right. And when somebody was like, those are the people that sent you the drink. They had a laser and it was like a penis printed laser. Like, you know, one of them little beams like this projector pin. Yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Last night, as soon as I heard the story.

[Morgan]

Jesus Christ. You probably. You probably been. Had a bunch of them around the house. Crazy. But they had it on his face. And so he was offended by that. Like, yo. Like, you know what I mean? Not in front of my kids. I mean, it wasn't only his kids there, but his kids were there or whatever. So he was offended. And so they. He got up, he went over there and it was like it was a problem. They started getting upset or whatever. So that's when the glass was thrown, right? Because he swelled up on him. Like, no, I don't be putting no penis on my face while I'm here with my family. You know what I mean? So he swelled up and he got the glass thrown, and he had to immediately leave to get stitches because obviously it was blood. But his team and the other table, they was, you know, going back and forth. So that's what happened.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I understand why Jamie is upset, but that's hilarious. Okay. I saw that last night and definitely ordered a penis projector pin. If it comes in this week, great. If not for the New Year's, envy, gonna have penis on his forehead every show. Okay. Turning the lights off just to put the penis.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm gonna throw a glass at you, then I'm gonna throw a glass at you.

[Morgan]

The name of the actual production team is called Dick House Production team. So there you go. There you have. That explains why they do things like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. They also have penis projector pin, bachelorette party favors. And they have something. They have something called D lasers. I can't say the word, but it's D lasers. D lasers. The gag gift of the century, yo. Five projectable penises, and then the rest of USB chargeable.

[Morgan]

We got to get. We got to get to this Jay Z stuff, yo. So we sent our very own Lauren LaRosa up to ROC Nation yesterday. She was on the floor. She was there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did they have food, Lauren?

[Morgan]

They weren't trying to feed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No food.

[Morgan]

They wasn't trying to feed us.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No. So it's like the brunch. No food, no food.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I've never been to the brunch, but they didn't have any food. They did water for us. It was. It was. It was very quick.

[Morgan]

So what happened? We got four minutes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So when we got there, they went through a lot of the details that we've already talked about.

[Jess Hilarious]

Who was there?

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, Jay Z was not there. And we were speaking to his attorney and presented information about his attorney, Alex Sparrow, who's been heading everything. And it was just like other media, like a few other outlets there. So some of the things that they broke down that I thought were really important were number one. They went back through the timeline again, and remember when we were talking about this the other day? Envy. You were like, there's no houses in Manhattan.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's what I said. There's no white Houses.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That was the biggest thing that they leaned in on. And I think that that's what they're going to lean in on if. If this isn't dismissed.

[Jess Hilarious]

[Lauren LaRosa]

The holidays are here and it's that time of year to think about. Yes, gifts, but not only gifts. It's the guest, the party planning and the true meaning for the season. Spending time with family and friends. We know it's a lot, but we're here to ease your mind and share some tips. So we'll make it through together. With the season getting underway, now is the time to shop for amazing holiday deals at Amazon. Amazon has a wide selection for all your holiday needs. I mean personally I would just love one of those Robo self cleaning kitty litter boxes thingama things. I know that's real specific, but hint hint, Amazon last minute deals are here. Shop last minute deals now on Amazon and visit Amazon.com black effect podcast for my favorite pics. Right like because what he was saying is if you're from New York, you know that there's no houses in Manhattan. But also too she said that it was a 20 minute drive. So you're trying to figure out from Radio City Music hall on a day like the VMAs where there probably is traffic even without traffic. That 20 minute drive now creates a timeline. So what they did was they went through and we got packets they went through and they actually listed out all of the homes that Puff owned during the time of the year 2000 and any time before that. None of the homes they pointed out are the White House that she described with the U Circle driveway and also the one house that is actually in New York. Two homes that are in New York. They just don't fit the description. Everything else was in Jersey.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, the Alpine house is in Jersey which is about a 45 minute drive. 40 minute drive.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The timeline.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You sure know a lot about Puff.

[Morgan]

Holly, you know what I'm saying?

[Lauren LaRosa]

You right Envy.

[Jess Hilarious]

I do my homework.

[Morgan]

45 minutes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right. They also talked a lot about because you know the VMAs are televised. That Was the year that Eminem did that, Was it the Slim Shady performance outside? So it's heavily. There's video, there's photo. In that video. They talk a lot about the fact that she said that she was able to walk up and run into a limousine driver, the way that the streets were blocked off. And you could see it in the photos because they were preparing for that performance. But also just because of the arrivals and drop off setup, you wouldn't have been able to just like it was barricaded off from the people. You wouldn't be able to just walk up and knock on a limousine, according to what Jay Z's attorney, Alex Spiro is saying. Now, another thing that was really important was the fact that she said in her testimony in the complaint that she watched the show from a jumbotron and then she was picked up later by the limousine, by Diddy's limousine. They went in, and according to Alex Barrel, I have not confirmed this myself, they went and looked at permits that year for the show. There were no permits submitted for a jumbotron. There was no jumbo Jumbotrons. And even when you watch Eminem's performance from where she's saying she's picked up, you don't see jumbotron. So they were just doing a lot of that. But we do have some audio because we were able to ask questions at the end of it. And one of the things we've been talking about in this room is what happens if this is dismissed? Will there be a defamation lawsuit that comes after that? So I asked. Well, you want to hear the attorney say it? So I asked the attorney, Alex Beer, about that, and here's what he had to say. If this case is dismissed after that, are you guys decided indefinitely? Did file anything in addition like a defamation lawsuit?

[DJ Envy]

This issue with a lawyer taking advantage of the situation is going to be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dealt with, I can assure you. And I think sort of.

[DJ Envy]

Stay tuned.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think the first thing today was.

[DJ Envy]

To make sure that everybody understands this.

[Jess Hilarious]

Is not an account of inconsistencies.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wanted everybody to understand that this never happened. This is completely false, and then we'll move forward from there.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now, another thing that. Oh, go ahead.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was gonna say, you know, Buzz, we're not gonna have the opportunity to take on anybody else's cases because he's gonna be too busy fighting his own.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, Another thing that I thought was interesting too, when he said this, I was like, oh, the brunch ain't the brunch, I guess, no more. So someone in the room or another? One of the reporters asked, you know, Jay Z has been making all these statements, but he has never mentioned Diddy in any of the statements. Diddy is involved in his case. He's named in the same dot. What's going on with that? Does he plan to mention Puff? Let's take a listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Mr. Carter has nothing to do with Mr. Combs case or Mr. Combs. They knew each other professionally for a number of years. Just like in all professions, people know each other at the music awards, they support each other.

[DJ Envy]

If you go to the NBA All Star Game, they support each other.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's just how professions work. There is no closer association between any of them.

[DJ Envy]

That's also a matter of fiction.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's all that there is. He doesn't know anything about the charges or allegations against him. He has nothing to do with that case. And there's nothing worth said. I mean, yeah, just because you see people at industry events, just because you see people even working together, doesn't mean they are friends. They are peers.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You trying to tell me up until this minute you never thought Jay Z and Puff were actually friends outside of just like we make music together? Because that shocked me when he said that. I said, whoa, I thought that they were friends. I thought that Diddy.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I thought that Diddy and Jay Z were friends. It makes sense you're gonna distance yourself right now. But I thought that they were friends. And I thought that you could look at photos and disprove what Alex Sparrow just said. I thought that that was a big thing for him to say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know. I never thought about it, to be honest with you.

[Jess Hilarious]

I thought they were. I thought they were friends. But like you said, I didn't know the inside and outside of their lives, but I thought they were friends. But like you said, I take a picture with a lot of people. Do I consider them friends? Do they come to my house? Do they come up for Thanksgiving? Do they know my kids? Do they know my parents?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, not necessarily.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do.

[Jess Hilarious]

We do take pictures a lot. And in this industry, you see the same people over and over again. So you do. So I would assume that they are. But once you break it down like that, maybe they not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wayne just called Kendrick and said, congratulations. You better kill it. Kill it, Kill it.

[Paul Wall]

That's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But y'all not like us.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Twice, my friend can't do it.

[Morgan]

I know how y'all know how I feel about friends. I feel like, yeah, you have. You can't just throw around the word friend like A friend means your confidence. Somebody that you can go and sleep over their house. You can run like, nah, you can't say a friend. You can say associate in the industry, on the business. But if we never knew them to be friends, then we can't just assume that they were.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And why do we assume? We just the public on the outside looking in. How are we going to tell you, no, that's your friend. That's your friend.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I think it's just a perception thing, but honestly, I was thinking about it like this. Like, if it is just a perception thing. If Buzzbee even tries to hit back with like, oh, well, look at the photos. Look at what Puff said at. Remember that year at the Grammys and he talked about. And Jay Z was there. Whatever. It. It's just perception. The same way, like, you can argue it's just perception and buzz. We got a lot of other things to worry about because the way that they broke this down, timeline, it doesn't. It really doesn't make sense. So they have. I'm interested to see what Buzzby's response.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Perception is not reality. Like, you ain't never been hunting a day in your life, but I'm chilling with that Duck dynasty. So I love the Duck Dynasty fit.

[Lauren LaRosa]

At least it was a car. I didn't know where you was going.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's not dead hunting season anymore, but.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You still kill in your life. And look at you.

[Jess Hilarious]

We also seen Puff say, you know my brother Jay Z? This is my brother. We're brothers. So when you hear that term, it makes people assume that you guys are closer than just associates.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And maybe it's just like my brother.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

In the business, everybody need to stop throwing that brother sister thing around.

[DJ Envy]

Sleep over.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You ain't sleeping over. Puffy House, allegedly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who ain't sleeping over Puffy House? You know, every house. Every before you even be able to talk, even shut the house, envy was saying, I know this house in that place.

[Morgan]

We gotta check mvg. Let me know where the camera's at.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Nothing.

[Jess Hilarious]

I mean, I know where every celebrity house is. That was. No, it's not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Logan, Logan, man, toughen this man up for the holidays.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's not even. Being a groupie is when you young. When you young and you trying to make it those. That was my inspiration.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I get you.

[Jess Hilarious]

So I used to drive and I talk about it in the book. I used to drive by rich neighborhoods to look at the houses and be like, one day I want a house like that or one day I want to live there. One day I want that until I was able to purchase.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

One day, Diddy was in the lawn with his shirt off and he said, if that thirsty mother effer ride by here one more time, I'm going.

[DJ Envy]

Give him a drink.

[Jess Hilarious]

You should have said gave me baby oil. That's what you should have said.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Give him a drink.

[Jess Hilarious]

I don't want a drink.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You was drinking out his holes. Oh, Lord.

[Jess Hilarious]

And thank you, Jess.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, Lauren.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Jess Hilarious]

That was Jess with the mess custard.

[Morgan]

Come on, we got to go. Come on. Don't ask me.

[Jess Hilarious]

Get out here.

[Morgan]

Duck Dynasty now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, Duck Dynasty.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah, that's it. You here for litigiousness?

[DJ Envy]

That's it.

[Morgan]

Goodbye, litigiousness.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, when we come back, we got front page news and then Paul Wall will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's nasty.

[Jess Hilarious]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Start off with some quick sports. Now in football, Monday night Football, the Falcons beat the Raiders 159 and the Vikings beat the Bears 32 12. Good morning, Morgan.

[Paul Wall]

Good morning, Envy Charlemagne and Jess. Hilarious. Y'all all right?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Yep. Yep. Yes. Good.

[Paul Wall]

Okay. So, yeah, we are talking about these drone sightings, y'all. So the White House says a rash of drone sightings have been seen across the Northeast and they are legal and lawful in the air. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on Monday that there is no national security threat and the activity seems to be from commercial hobbyists or law enforcement drones. Let's hear more from White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We've done the detection and analysis. We've corroborated the sightings. And in every case that we have examined to date, we have seen nothing, nothing that indicates a public safety risk. This is a collection of law enforcement hobbyists, commercial drones, and of course, civil. Civil aviation aircraft that have caused all these sightings. And it's not attributable to an actor for a purpose. To date, our assessment is that this is lawful, legal, commercial hobbyist, and even.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Law enforcement aircraft activity.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Some of it's manned, some of it's unmanned.

[Paul Wall]

He also noted.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't believe. I don't believe, John Kirby. I think they have no idea what those things are and it is. And if they do know, it's absolutely the wrong thing to tell people. It's not a public safety risk. If manned are unmanned SUV sized vehicles are flying in the air over residential areas. What if one of them things crash into a house. That's not a public safety risk.

[Jess Hilarious]

It is.

[Paul Wall]

Absolutely. Absolutely so. Kirby also noted that more than a million drones are registered with the faa. So at least let's hope that each one of those are registered. So that way, if something happens, God forbid, you know, we'll have something to go off of there. But anyways, that being said, Kirby added that the federal government continues to assist state and local law enforcement in investigating these drone sightings. Meanwhile, President elect Trump claims the government knows exactly what these mysterious drones are flying over the US Speaking from his Mar A Lago residence in Palm beach yesterday, Trump said one flew over his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey. Let's hear more from the President elect in regards to these drones.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It'd be better off saying what it is.

[Jess Hilarious]

Our military knows and our. Our president knows, and for some reason.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They want to keep people in suspense. Our military knows where they took off from.

[Jess Hilarious]

If it's a garage, they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went. I really don't like the drones. And what really, really bothers me is they're able to fly over somebody's house, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

So you're not protected. Like, you could put a fence up to block anybody from driving in, but somebody could just shoot a drone. A random person could shoot a drone. A robber, a burglar could see if your home.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They could film your house.

[Jess Hilarious]

They could film your house. If you got kids, they could film your kids. I don't like it. It's going to get to the point where people are going to take the law into their own hands and start shooting them in shit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What if it crashes? Yeah, and I will say Trump is correct. You know, I always said the language of politics is dead, so you might as well just be upfront with the people. He's right. Simply tell the people what it is, if you know what it is. And the American people are big boys and girls, we can handle it. I mean, hell, nobody afraid of them now. Them things been flying over us for weeks and we still more afraid of getting hit from the back by Diddy. And he's in jail. Lord Jesus.

[Paul Wall]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Nothing. Nobody is scared of that.

[Paul Wall]

Yeah, Nobody.

[Morgan]

More people are more inviting than we think.

[Jess Hilarious]

Jesus.

[Morgan]

Well, yeah, so Trump, yeah, he did.

[Paul Wall]

Say people do have a right to know. And he doesn't understand why, in his words, the government wants to keep people in suspense. Switching gears on Trump, though, his criminal convictions in New York live on for now after the judge in the case rejected one of Trump's demands to dismiss his case. State Judge Juan Mercan presided over Trump's 34 felony convictions for falsifying business records related to payoffs to porn star Stormy Daniels ruled against Trump late on Monday. This was his request to dismiss based on the Supreme Court's decision on presidential criminal immunity. Now, Trump can and will likely appeal this. He also asked for a dismissal connected to his election when arguing convictions would imply impede his ability to govern. Prosecutors want to keep them in place and delay sentencing until Trump is out of office. Judge Mercan could rule on that dismissal request as early as this week. Now, speaking of criminal situations, we all saw this coming. Embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams, he might get some legal help from President Elect Trump. In a press conference on Monday from Mar A Lago, Trump said he would look at potentially pardoning Adams, who is facing federal charge, fraud and corruption charges. Now, the president elect went on to say that he wasn't familiar with the specifics regarding Adams charges in his case. However, Adams. I was going to say Adams isn't commenting on the issue, but he actually has released a comment. Now, Trump says he would consider pardoning Eric Adams. Let's hear more from Trump on Adams and that pardon.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I would. I think that he was straight across pretty unfairly. Now, I haven't seen the gravity of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It all, but it seems, you know, like being upgraded in an airplane many years ago. I know probably everybody here has been upgraded. They see you're all stars. I said, you know what, he'll be indicted soon. And I said it, not as a prediction, a little bit lightheartedly, but I said it. I said, he's going to be indicted. And a few months later, he got indicted.

[Paul Wall]

So Eric Adams, he has actually reacted to Trump's comments in regards to possibly pardoning him. And he instead he actually said he's going to continue to basically take heed to the advice of his lawyer. Let's hear from Mayor Eric Adams.

[Jess Hilarious]

No Americans should be going through what I'm going through. And with my attorney decides to do, I'm going to follow the direction of my attorney. I did nothing wrong, should not have been charged.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I just think, you know, God.

[Jess Hilarious]

Has a way of showing the irony of life.

[Paul Wall]

Yeah. So there you have that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I feel, I feel like, you know, Mayor Adams, when he said that he.

[Jess Hilarious]

Was willing to sit down and work with.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. By the way, that's how it should be. Right. Like you, if you're an elected official, Governor, you should want to work with the President of the United States of America. So, I mean, it's not a. I don't really have a thought on it. Like, I don't. I don't. I don't ever really have a thought on it.

[Paul Wall]

All right, well, we'll continue to watch it. Adams, of course, is Q. Is accused of accepting at least a hundred thousand dollars in travel benefits in the federal indictment, that includes charges of wire fraud and bribery. It's all reportedly connected to his alleged contributions to his 2021. 2020, 2021 Merrill contain campaign from a Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him. He, of course, he has pleaded not guilty and maintains his innocence in that case. So that's pretty much it for your front page news today. I'm Morgan Wood. Follow me on social at Morgan Media.

[Jess Hilarious]

The wrinkles is wrinkly.

[DJ Envy]

Don't look too close. I like you. I look good with the filters, but.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I bet your wife. Sit your ass down. Hey, man, you know, she the funny thing.

[DJ Envy]

She's the main one been telling me, hey, don't dye your hair. Let it be gray. Let your salt and pepper. Don't keep. Quit. Quit cutting the ball fade. You know, I'm Southside ball fade. But you know, after a while, you know what I'm saying, when it start growing back, it don't grow back, right? So she said, man, you need to grow your hair out. I thought she was just hating on me. I thought she was just hating on me, but she was Setting me up. She was setting me up. The same.

[Morgan]

Chris.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Paul, I want to ask you about B. King. What was that loss to you?

[DJ Envy]

Houston, man, he had such a. A hell of a club run where his name was Club God. That was the perfect name for him. I'm talking about B. King is somebody who could have done a show for an hour straight, and I'm talking about nothing but club bangers, back to back to back to back to back. And when you go to the club, especially anywhere in Texas, that's what you would hear is B. King.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Boy.

[DJ Envy]

I'm talking about Club God, man. B King that, man. That was the perfect name for him, man. He rocked the clubs, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Rest in peace. To be king.

[Jess Hilarious]

Absolutely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you, I didn't know you had this. You had surgery. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, you talking about my weight loss surgery?

[Jess Hilarious]

That was a long time ago.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that surgery, how long was that?

[DJ Envy]

The same Mike. That was about 2009 and New Year's Eve. Yeah, I had the gastric sleeve. That's when your boy was that 350.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You was 350.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, yeah, I hit it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, that's Paul House.

[DJ Envy]

That was a big. That was. That was the tall T arrow. So, you know, we could hide it well, you know what I'm saying? I could hide it well.

[Jess Hilarious]

What got you to that weight? Was it always eating? Was you using drugs?

[DJ Envy]

Like what got you there, man? I think some of it was lifestyle. Some of it was a roller coaster of trying to lose weight, taking diet pills, sipping syrup, maybe drinking alcohol, all the other stuff too. It definitely messed up my metabolism. So it was something where I would be on a full fledged hard, tough, strict diet, strict regimen of training, working out, and six months go by, you lose £4. So it's very, very like deflating and just isn't. It's not motivating, whatever the opposite of motivating is. But one of my homeboys, man, one of the. One of the biggest gangsters I know, he was like, man, I want to go get lap band. And I was like, man, lap, man, that's, you know, I don't know, man. To me, that wasn't something the gangsters did or players did, you know? And he was like, man, nah, forget that, man. It's gonna save my life, you know, you want. You want to die? You know, because he was going through some of the same thing. He sipped a lot of serve, too. He was taking diet pills, all of that. And it was just a roller coaster of messing up his metabolism. And when he went, he Was like, say, man, I want you to come. I don't know if he really wanted to get it or he was just trying to convince me to kind of get it because he ended up not getting anything.

[Jess Hilarious]

Cause you was the guinea pig.

[DJ Envy]

He like, you come first. Let's see how it works out, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's funny. Definitely worked.

[DJ Envy]

It saved my life, man, for sure. My only grit is I didn't do it sooner. Cause, man, if I knew, I could have been skinny like this. And I ain't got to work out or nothing. I don't got to do nothing.

[Morgan]

But do you wish you would have waited? Now that the Ozempic is real heavy.

[DJ Envy]

In campaigns, I. I do see that. And I'm like, damn, maybe that's all I would have had to do. And I could have. I could have been a spokesman, you know, I'm trying to be the spokesman for the sleeve, but I ain't no doctor trying to pay me.

[Jess Hilarious]

How does it affect your eating? So you. You just not hungry or you're just not hungry?

[DJ Envy]

You just get full real quick. Real, man. So, like, for instance, last night, I. I had something to eat, like a little gyro, and I had two bites, and that was it. I was full. Cool.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All these years later, still have that event?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, still work.

[Morgan]

Wow.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Now, we haven't heard from you in a while. Your fans, like, musically. So describe the energy of this. This album. Now, my new album, you on now.

[DJ Envy]

It'S called Once Upon a Grind, produced by my boy, DJ Fresh, and also G Luck beat on from Houston, my boy Beans and Cornbread. My boy DJ Fresh did most of the production. He's from the West Coast. He's real musical. He does a lot of, you know, anything. Keys or keyboards, a synth or, you know, guitars. He plays every instrument, but it's a real musical, like, just in the product is real motivating. Once Upon a Grind, it's all about just putting your best foot forward, being your best self, you know, giving your all and everything, you know what I'm saying? And just. Just trying to progress, you know, even if it's little by little, just making progress in your life, you know, whatever. You're setting goals and just. Just trying to accomplish them. So that's just what the whole album is about. This is what I'm trying to convey with the message, you know what I'm saying, with it. Once Upon a Grind.

[Jess Hilarious]

You ever thought about going back and doing, like, a whole project with Swisher house artists like. Like Mike Jones, of course, Thugga Thugga or Chameleonaire. You ever thought about that? And are you still in contact with those?

[DJ Envy]

Man, I be on them to do this all the time, man. First of all, let me start off with the boss, Slim Thug. Slim Thug is the most, like, he is the biggest boss. But when it come to rapping, he's like, you know, like, we'll be like, in New York and be like, hey, let's go to the studio. He be like, man, go to the studio. Let's go to the club.

[Morgan]

He like to party.

[DJ Envy]

My boy like to party. He be like, man, studio. We can go to the studio anytime. He got a studio in his house. So for instance, if I, like, he's on my new album. Hey, I need you on my album. Bet. Send him a song. He do in 15 minutes. So if we're in a situation where it's like, I'm a little different, like, I'm like, hey, we in New York. Let's capture the moment. Let's go in the studio. Let's capture this energy and do something. But Slim is like, man, we can go to the studio anytime, man. There's no difference. We go to studio now or tomorrow. So that's Slim. So Slim is not like, really motivated to get in there and knock it out, say, I'm going to party this now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We.

[DJ Envy]

If we tell them, hey, we got a deal or we need to do this or whatever. Yeah, for sure. He motivated in, like, anytime. We got a deadline or something. But I. I didn't did that with Slim, where we do a whole entire mixtape in a day. You know, I've done that with him. You know, I've seen him do that plenty of times. So he's not really, like, pressured to. Let's get it going. Okay, Now, Mike Jones. Mike Jones all over the place. He kind of making a comeback with his music. He kind of was, you know, out of the scene for a while, you know, in terms of shows, like, me and Slim, we tour all the time. We on. On the road every single weekend. Mike Jones kind of took a break for a while. Now he's coming back out. He's got new music coming out. He's definitely on the road again.

[Morgan]

He got a new number, but he.

[DJ Envy]

Does have the same number. Well, actually, you know what? I think he's trying to get it back. I think. I think they. People still lost it, and then he's trying to get it back for some reason. But because the phone number gets so many calls, it's not like a normal bill. It's like an inflated bill. So, like, I know he'll get like a $10,000 phone bills, like it's crazy, but geez.

[Jess Hilarious]

And you said he was with. What was he doing during that time? Because he was missing for a minute.

[DJ Envy]

I think he was just enjoying life because we would see him every now and then, his shows, and every time we see him, he looking good, he's still rocking it, still killing it, but, you know, we wouldn't really see him in the studio too much or dropping too much music. But now I know he's dropping some music. Now if we were to all do a project like that, I'm pretty sure Mike Jones would probably be involved with that. He probably will be down, but I think right now he's kind of more focused on getting, you know, his own solo stuff going, you know what I'm saying? But I think he probably will be down. The chameleon day, the last chameleon there, man. He ain't trying to do no music, man. He got so much money right now. Whatever tech money he got, whatever investments, the crypto he got, he. Look, let me tell you, I talk to him about this all the time because the way the music industry has evolved, he's always been this way where he, he not trying to give nothing away. He really appreciates the value of his music, you know, and he's, he's not giving it away. He's not signing a deal where he's getting screwed over just because it's a good look. Nah, he's not about none of that. He's straight business and he really values his art that he creates. So you know what I'm saying with that, it takes a certain type of label to sign him who has the same vision as him, where they're not just all about the dollars and cents. They're not just all about just, you know, whatever is going to make a splash or go viral, you know, he, he, he needs the right type of partner. Are you the glue behind everybody?

[Jess Hilarious]

Are you the glue that talks to everybody? Are you the main person that talks to everybody?

[DJ Envy]

I don't know. I would maybe say Slim Thug might be the glue. You know, Slim Thug is, is maybe the more of the glue, I would say. But I mean, I don't know. I don't have any problems with any of them. None of us have any problems with each other. You know what I'm saying? But we're all, you know, we're all brothers, so we support each other to the fullest. Whatever. Each one of Us is doing. We definitely support, you know, but, yeah, I would say Slim Thug might keep in contact with all of us a little bit more than I do, maybe. But we all. You know, we all boys.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, we got more with Paul Wall when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Paul Wall.

[Morgan]

Jess, I saw an interview where you had said growing up, you didn't realize you was white.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't. I didn't know white people told me I was white.

[Morgan]

Oh, the white people told me I was white.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. They was like, you white? Why you talking act like that? You white? And I'm like, what do you mean?

[Morgan]

Where was. This ain't like Houston. When was some. When. Where were you? What was that exact moment?

[DJ Envy]

When was the moment I discovered I was like, yes.

[Morgan]

Where is that?

[DJ Envy]

I don't know. Definitely in school. Elementary school maybe, or middle school. I remember that. But, I mean, all my friends were black or Mexican or Asian. I lived in a very diverse neighborhood. There was, you know, it was. There were white people there, but it was, you know, Mexican, black, Vietnamese, Indian, and mixed up all kind of every. Any. A lot of everything. You know, even, you know, it was like, you know, fba, you know, black. But it was also like, a lot of immigrant black. Like Canadian, he's Nigerian. You know, there were other, you know, immigrants that were black as well. But so we got a great mixture of, you know, growing up in America, I guess.

[Morgan]

And when they told you, he was like, you know, damn, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What you.

[Morgan]

How did you find?

[DJ Envy]

You sure? Did you cry?

[Morgan]

Did you cry?

[DJ Envy]

I went over, cried. If I went and cried in the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Car, Mama, you ain't telling me I was right.

[DJ Envy]

But my mama did take a DNA test. She 3%.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

So, I mean, I know that. I know she can't say the N word. That ain't enough for her to say the n word. Not 3%.

[Morgan]

You ever took.

[DJ Envy]

You ever took a D. N?

[Jess Hilarious]

How did you meet Johnny?

[DJ Envy]

Dang, man. Johnny, man. I started off actually. I was actually selling grand before I met Johnny. I stopped to really kind of pursue my music a little bit more. Well, at the time, I was just another wholesale client. I wasn't, like, famous or nothing like that. Even I was trying to rap, but I wasn't, like, established none. This is even before Swish House days, really. So, you know, when he brought me to Johnny, I'm Just a wholesale client now, as I start, you know, rapping in the Swisher House, you know, this was pre Internet, you know what I'm saying? Nobody know what anybody look like. They just kind of hear the voice and it slowed down so you don't really hear exactly how it sounds, which you might hear tonight. I used to always say my. This is why I used to always say my name at the start of every. What it do is powwow, because there's no. You don't know who I am, but you're gonna hear that. At least you're gonna know my name.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

So one time, you know, I'd be in Johnny's all the time. We on the southwest side of Houston, where. Okay, the southwest side of Houston has got a lot of different accents, and it's all English, but it's just different accents. Then also, it's the hood, so you got a Mexican hood accent. You got a black hood accent. You got the Asian hood accent. You also got people from Louisiana coming in with a Louisiana accent. So, you know, and all of that. And Johnny being a Vietnamese immigrant himself who speaks English, but is to understand he needs closed captioning. He needs closed caption sometimes. He worked on it a lot, but some of it still, you know, it's. It's. Man, he. He definitely got his own, you know, accent. But he. You know, it's funny, too, because at one point, you know, as, you know, we get record deals and stuff. Somebody gave me a little cd, how to Lose youe Accent. Like this, kind of, I guess, for immigrants trying to lose their accent. But it was so that I would sound more white so that I could be more appealing in movies. And I'm like, man, I don't want to sound like this. So, man, I don't even want to.

[Morgan]

Say that's messed up, yo.

[DJ Envy]

I guess they did it in good. You know, good means. But I was, like, slightly offended by it, you know? But it's funny because Johnny had the same exact. Like this, like, you know what I'm saying? How to lose your ass.

[Jess Hilarious]

None of y both didn't use it.

[DJ Envy]

Cuz I posted it. And Johnny was like, bro, I got the same disc, man. It's crazy. He might need the volume two. He got the first one edition.

[Morgan]

Did you have any influence on Megan's latest grills? The one that she had in Bigger in Texas Video, man, big shout out to Megan.

[DJ Envy]

Matter of fact, we got these same grills. They're called the Honeymoon set, Johnny. We made them. Of course, you Know what I'm saying? But yeah, we call it the honeymoon set because there's at least a carrot on each tooth. So every tooth is a wedding ring, you know. But she's hard. All right. Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you. You ever get upset that your name's not included? Like, they don't say, Megan Thee Stallion got a girl from Johnny Dang, or Sauce Walker got a new half a million dollar chain from Johnny Dang.

[DJ Envy]

Never. I, I think about that some. I mean, sometimes, like, people will say, hey, why didn't you say anything? Never, never, never. You know, I mean, I mean, the, the goal, the mission is accomplished. The mission was never for me to be famous or any of that. Even the first time I sold grills, you know, even up till now, is not to make money. It's to hook my homeboys up, you know what I'm saying? When I first got, when I first got my first set of grills, I went back to the block. They like, damn, where you get those? And we came with something new where it was like, okay, I couldn't afford something I wanted nice. So, you know, I couldn't afford diamonds or nothing like this. So I just wanted the gold white. I want yellow gold.

Find out [e-mail] I go strip on the tip with little diamond cuts so it'll make you think I got diamonds, but I don't. I went back to the block and they like, damn, okay, okay, everybody want one. So I'm like, okay, how can I get all my 20 homeboys and my cousins? This, that what? You know, how can I get everybody grills, you know, for the, the same price I paid or for a discount? I'm not trying to make money off. I'm trying to hook them up so that they shining so that when we all pull up, we all. They like, damn, y'all must be from Gulf Bank. Cause all y'all on Go bank shine like that. So that's what it was all about, was just about hooking my friends up when my name not included it. I, I, I don't even care about none of that, honestly. Because, you know, I mean, you know, I did my part. I put my boy on, you know, he's the man. People want grills, they come to him. And honestly, it'd be a huge headache for me. They come to me, they want free grills, you know what I'm saying? Like, damn, Johnny, hey, look, Johnny, look, I'm just sending to you because they know they gonna pay with you, but with me, they think they get free grills. So it's like, okay, look, some people freak away. I mean, a honeymoon set. I don't know. You getting a honeymoon set free, you know, Megan might be a little different. Of course you go hook Megan up, but you know what I'm saying, like, yeah, I, I ain't never worried about that, man. Salute to my boy, Johnny.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Daniel, I want to ask you about the Houston music scene, right? When you think of Megan, Travis Scott, Don to. You think Houston artists have to have a Houston sound source.

[Jess Hilarious]

Walker, too.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, yeah, for sure got a Houston sound. I mean, you know, big salute to all of the fresh new artists that are holding it down for Houston and for Texas. I mean, the Houston style is so diverse, you know, I mean, we do have a chorus sound or like a chorus slang, a little accent, but I don't think so. You got Toby Nwigwe, where he's doing his own style. You definitely hear the Houston in him, though. You know, Sauce Walker, he brought something completely new to the table to represent. He birthed a whole new branch of the hip Hop Tree in Houston, you know, with his style, you know, he created a new Houston style with it, you know what I'm saying? But even in that, you hear the Houston, you know, sometimes he got some screw and chop here and there, hooks or he, you know, makes some references or he got, you know, this and that, you know, whatever slabs of this, you know, he definitely got some Houston influence in there, but it's. He does it his own way. Same with Megan. She do it 100 her own way. Don Toliver, you know what I'm saying? Travis Scott, they for sure represent Houston. They got the Houston style, but they do it their own way. And they, you know, they. They break birthed new versions of the Houston style the same way. Like the Ghetto Boys, you know, were Houston, but, you know, the screwed up clique was a different kind of form of, you know, the Houston style, you know, and the Swisher House was like a, you know, a product of that, you know. Of course, me being a screw head growing up influenced by the screwed up clique, you know, and then so the people influenced by us who came after us, they gonna be, you know, definitely, man, you know, but I don't think they have to, you know, it's not like a monolithic type of style where, you know, it used to be like when we came up, if you didn't sound like this, you're not making it. You're not making it. But there's a, you know, there's a lot of artists in Houston that, you know, they come with a, you know, something different, but you still hear the Houston in them, but it's just something different. And I salute. I salute them for just doing their thing, whatever it is, you know, you got to follow your path. And I just, I'm. I'm happy to see how it's grown, you know what I'm saying? The hip hop tree is definitely flourishing in Houston.

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, let's get into it. Join off the album. What you want to.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, let's play that swing down. Me and Zero, Pow. Wild and Zero. We flipped that SWV reign. My boys, Beans and Cornbread, they produced it, you know, got my boy Zero on there with me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cry Wall and Big Tonka.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, let's go.

[Jess Hilarious]

Let's get into it right now. We got more with Paul Wall when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess, Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Paul Wall.

[Morgan]

Jess, now you dealt with a Lot of traumas in your life. And I was watching a podcast where you sat down with Quincy and Fuzzy and you opened up about your biolo. Was, you said, a serial child molester.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Morgan]

What effect did that have on you?

[DJ Envy]

That had a huge effect on me. One growing up with a single mother, having a very small family, it made us, you know, tight knit. It made me appreciate family. It made me always want family. It made me aware, I was hyper aware of, you know, like the molestation type of stuff, you know, and it also made me become an advocate. It, you know, as I got older in life, you know, I teamed up with my girl, Ms. Parker from Parents Against Predators. We do a lot in the community just in regards to that. But just personally, what it. What it did to me was, from as long as I can remember, it instilled something into me to say, I'm gonna be a good father. No matter what, I'm gonna be a good father. I'm not gonna let anything come between me and my kids. I hope one. I used to pray for one day to have kids. Like, I. I literally, I tell my kids this all the time on their birthdays. Like, man, I used to pray for you, you know, so it always would make me, like, want to be a good father. Made me want to be the best father I could be. Also, man, that interview too, after that interview came out, I found out I got a cousin. Because somebody seen it and it was like, hey, you thought you ain't had no cousin? You got a cousin.

[Morgan]

Wow.

[DJ Envy]

So, you know, I'm real grateful for that. I gotta, you know, shout out to my cousin Gina, her whole family of kids, all of them, man. But, yeah, it definitely was something that, you know, was heavy on me my whole life also, you know, it makes you realize that some people are walking around with trauma and you don't know it, you know, so it makes you. You know, just cause somebody has a smile doesn't mean they're happy. You know, just cause somebody has a frown or a mean look don't mean they're mad at you. They could be going through something. So, you know, it just. It did. Definitely taught me a lot.

[Morgan]

Yeah, your mom was a strong woman. You said your mom had y'all so scared that your dad would come and kidnap you. Oh, yeah, yeah. Cause he had kidnapped the woman and married her.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, yeah, he kidnapped her. He kidnapped a woman, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And married, man. This girl was 12 years old, and he kidnapped her when she was 15. And I don't know, man. He got some type of judge to sign off on the marriage, took her to Canada. Then next thing you know, something happened. They came back. You know, it's a tragic story. She ended up committing suicide when she came back. And, you know, it's. It's sad. The crazy thing about that is that at that time, you know, we would see my father on the weekend, my biological father on the weekends or every other weekend. So sometimes we go over there and it'd be like, oh, his new girlfriend's over there and I'm, you know, four years old. I don't know, you know, but It's a. A 12 year old in a wig with makeup. You know, we know that now, but at the time, we don't know that. Just think, oh, it's my dad's, you know, girlfriend or something. And. And it's so crazy to think like that. Damn, you that close to, you know that. But, you know, you're four years old, what do you do? You don't even know what's wrong, you know, what's going on. But it's just. It's tragic. Just, you know, of course, that was my biological father, so it was hard for me. But I mean, of course it's worse for the girl, you know what I'm saying? Or whoever he did something to. So I never look at myself like I was like a victim or like even the trauma I experienced, I kind of like put it under the rug. I feel more for the. The victims that he hurt, you know what I'm saying? Like, damn. Like, what about them? Not me. I don't really look at it like my own, but for sure, my mom, she used to. We used to walk around with a air horn, like, tied around my neck so that if you. And man, this is when Kindergarten cop came out too. And kindergarten, all sorts of things, man. So I was for sure terrified that I was gonna get kidnapped. And I remember one time, ooh, one time me and my sister were at home. It was like during the summer or it was like something when my mom was doing something, something and we just. At home. And I remember my biological dad came to the door, knocked on the door, and I went and looked at the peephole. And I remember being so scared I could not move. I'm just sitting there, just like, oh, I don't. What do I do? I couldn't move and I'm scared to move. He gonna see me or whatever, man. I'll never forget that. But yeah, my mama definitely she had us prepared. You know what I'M saying she had us prepared.

[Morgan]

That's amazing.

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, the album, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. And when is it still tipping towards dropping?

[DJ Envy]

I mean, it's still tipping to a came and went.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Y'all only did, like, one show, right?

[DJ Envy]

We didn't do nothing. Well, I mean, we did. We did one show.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You Mike Jones, Slim Thug.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, it just, it started off we did the Texans halftime show. I kind of said it.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

I kind of said it, like, almost like, as the joke. Like, hey, we doing the stud T. But when we. When we said that, our phone started blowing up. We had people live, Nate, all kind of people. More AD Everybody just hitting us, trying to, hey, I want to book 20 shows right now. How much? I want book 10 shows, this and that, but got to have it together. We couldn't get it together, man. You know, I wish we could, but we couldn't get together.

[Morgan]

That's what happened. You, you spoke to earlier about you just kind of playing. See, I did something like that, like, before I got this job, right?

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, really?

[Morgan]

I went, I was like, yo, I'm the host of the Breakfast Club. They ain't even pick me up. You know what I'm saying? And then I thought, I didn't get the job, cuz I'm like, damn, maybe I shouldn't have did. But I'm here today, so maybe we're. Maybe we might get some.

[DJ Envy]

We coming to the Ravens Club. Pow wow. Mike Jones, Slim Thug. We come.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I got. I do got one more question. Hip hop sh. This my last question.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes, sir.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When TI this little Flip, he mentioned your name in there.

[DJ Envy]

I always felt, like, conflicted about that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Exactly. I wanted to add that, cuz that's what kind of blew you up. And everybody was like, damn, Paul Wall, maybe the hardest grill ever bought, son.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, yeah, man, I, I, man, I remember being at Bayou Classic in New Orleans and people being like, like passing out flyers and somebody saying, hey, swish house. I might have been passing out my own, you know, my album or, you know, buy some grills or something. I remember people being like, paul, wow. Hey, you the one with TI like, ended being like, damn, okay. My boy got some reach. You know, this is when he was this before he blew up. Of course he got reached now he was reaching.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But he dissing Lil Flip.

[DJ Envy]

That was the hard part. Because me and Flip being friends too, as well. It's like, damn. Of course Flip gonna feel a certain way. You know, he gonna be like, damn, you rocking with him. That's how it is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And I Of course he gonna fade away. There's no way he couldn't. And, you know, I could be like, well, yeah, we friends, but I'm not choosing a side. I. I mean, I don't know what to do. You know what I'm saying? It just put me in a tough situation. I mean, the way I dealt with it is I just, you know, laid low, you know what I'm saying? Try to stay out of it. I really try not to do too much explaining publicly because a lot of times they just make it worse. It seemed like, you know, but it definitely put me in a hard spot, you know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good for business, though.

[DJ Envy]

It was good for business. Definitely. Definitely ti. Definitely G when he gave me that shot. Pow wow. Turn the bling down in your mouth. Oh, yeah. Definitely was good for business. But, I mean, at the same time, little Flip probably is like, man, I ain't never getting no girl from Pow Wow again.

[Morgan]

Did he.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did he stop shopping with you?

[DJ Envy]

Well, I mean, even then, he wasn't getting them from me. Johnny was still kind of making them, but, you know, he was getting them from the other people or whatever. I definitely would make him a grill. Flip on a grill. I got you, bro. I got you.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's to speak.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, for sure. Matter of fact, one of the songs on the album Swing down with Zero, we recorded that song on Zero's birthday of this year. His birthday. His Birthday is like January 20th, January 21st. I think it's 21st. And we recorded it at Zero House. Zero say, man, my birthday. Come to the house. We drank in. Aiden come through. I said, came through. And you know, I had the song. He's like, hey, let's knock out this song. And Lil Flip actually was his engineer. They recorded it. I see Flip all the time for show, man. Flip, we boy. He's still my big bro. Of course he came. We the same age, but he came out before me, you know, he definitely put on for Houston a lot, you know what I'm saying? But, you know, even still, when I see him like, damn, I hope he ain't holding it over my head. But if he do, I mean, I can't blame him because I. I get it, you know what I'm saying? But, you know, that's definitely my boy, man. You know, it ain't no hard feelings on my side. Of course, if you want a girl, I got my. I got you, Flip.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's up, man?

[DJ Envy]

You know? But yeah, it's definitely. Definitely made it a little weird, you know, What I'm saying.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, well, we appreciate you, Paul Wall. The album is out right now. Once Upon a Grind line. It's Paul Wall. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Jessica.

[Morgan]

Robin Moore. Just don't do no lines.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

On the Breakfast Club. She's a coach. She was able to get y'all to.

[Morgan]

See something and understand something that nobody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Could get you to see.

[DJ Envy]

It's time to set it off.

[Morgan]

Okay. In some football news, Michael Vick, former NFL quarterback, he told the Virginia Pilot and the Daily Press that he interviewed with for the head coaching position at Norfolk State.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's dope.

[Morgan]

I think that is, though. That's right near your Hampton. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

About five, about maybe 10, 15 minutes away from Hampton. But that's still. Because Michael Vick is from that area.

[Morgan]

Right, right, right. So that's your alma mater. That's what they call it, right? Yeah, that's not mine, but no Hampton. But that's all in the same area.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's all in the same Hampton Road, 7, 5, 7. Which is dope because he's from that area, raised him. He loves that area.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

So the fact that he would be head coach, and you could tell it's not for a check. No disrespect, but, you know, HBCUs really can't pay Michael Vick for that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But, yes, and the crazy thing, it's for love. You would take Dion. You'd see more of that.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And I know it was a big thing because we know that Dion, he was at Jackson State. Right. And then he got everybody, like, excited about it. He, like, started shedding light on. He would bring celebrities and everything. And I remember, like, it just being a big, big, big talk about it, right? Yep, yep, yep. And then he left, and then he went to a pwi. He went to, what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Colorado.

[Morgan]

Colorado. And. And so now the fact. Oh, Ed Reed also did that, too, at Bethune.

[Jess Hilarious]

Bethune College.

[Morgan]

Yep, yep, yep, yep. And then now Michael Vick, he. He actually. He's not officially there yet, but he did have a meeting with them. He did an interview, and he hopes to hear something from the school soon.

[Jess Hilarious]

That would be a fool not to take Michael Vick in Virginia. And the amount of people, they would have to get a bigger place to play because the amount of people that Vick will bring and celebrities from that area, you're talking Missy, you're talking Timbaland, you're talking Pharrell, you're talking Pusha T. You're talking the clips. You're talking family, you're talking the whole.

[Morgan]

Virginia, you talking me. Like, okay, Chris.

[Jess Hilarious]

Chris Brown, Trey Songza. Not close in that area, but similar to that area too. So it would be dope. It would be amazing.

[Morgan]

I think that's. That is, though. Okay. All right, Moving on to more football. Travis Hunter, his fiance, has been the biggest op for the Internet. University of Colorado. His Travis Hunters, his fiance, Liana. Liana Lynnae. It's been a bunch of moments online where she comes off as mad or like, she don't want to be there. Like, she's just not happy for this dude at all. Like, some of the moments have been Travis's last home game. There was a video of him. Him hugging on her, trying to kiss her, and she giving like, no, get off me. Like, stop. Like, I'm not happy. Like, you know, that's what she's given. That's what I read in her face. And then the 2024 Heisman Trophy ceremony where it appears she didn't even want to stand up. That's when Deion Sanders, like, had to, like, urge her, like, get up, girl. What did you doing, dummy? He didn't say that, but that's what I read in his face. And then the fan moment. Travis and Liana, they were at a meet and greet at the Adidas Pop up in New York, and he was taking pictures with fans. It was people that was coming up to him, like kids taking pictures and stuff. And she was sitting there, you know, just like on her phone, arms for arms, arms folded, not folded, whatever. And she just looking in the Internet. They. They said that she was like, what, I supposed to just sit here while you take pictures? I didn't see her mouth that, but I seen a lot of back to back comments saying that. She did say that. Liana addressed all of the haters. She defended herself or whatever, and this is what she saw.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You.

[Morgan]

You ain't never had no girl, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why y'all talking about me? That's crazy. Now I see what the problem is.

[Morgan]

No, relax, relax.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got that tea voice calling him a girl.

[Morgan]

That wasn't the right one. Oh, play her.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yo, anyone who knows me knows I support Travis and everyone, everything he does.

[Morgan]

Because I truly, truly love that man. He is perfect in my eyes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

When his name was called, I instantly.

[Morgan]

Was gonna, if you watch the video, you can see me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like.

[Morgan]

But his mom didn't get up, so I was like, oh, maybe I don't get up. Maybe I just sit here with her.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So I sat there and then.

[Morgan]

And then y'all said, Coach Climb had it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tell me to get up.

[DJ Envy]

No, he didn't.

[Morgan]

He said, go get him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Go get your man, like.

[Morgan]

And once Travis stood up, but he.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Didn'T have to do it that.

[Paul Wall]

Because I was going to do that anyways.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Soon as I seen Travis get up, then I thought it was appropriate to stand up, greet him, congratulate him.

[Morgan]

But then there was a camera right in front of Coach prime, and I knew they were going to film that moment. And because of how people are online, I was like, I don't want to.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Be in that shot, so I'm going.

[Morgan]

To sit down now. That was her addressing the Heisman moment, obviously, right? And then she also addressed the fan moment. When I said that, she. She was just sitting there like, what I supposed to say here and take. Why you taking pictures? That's what she said.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's the drink?

[Morgan]

He doesn't drink, and I'm Hispanic, so I have tequila, like, in my face. Okay, all right. Well, okay. All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And it should be so good if it happened. Great producer.

[Morgan]

Okay, stop it. Okay, let's stop.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right.

[Morgan]

Now, Travis also defended his fiance. He now, he had a lot to say.

[Jess Hilarious]

You ain't never had no girl, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why y'all talking about me?

[DJ Envy]

Find something else to talk about. Talk about my girl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Go talk about your girl. Go find a girl.

[Jess Hilarious]

Go find a life.

[DJ Envy]

Someone about my. What I got going on. I know what I got. I know my girl. My girl been with me for five years. Y'all are just not starting to talk about me and just not starting to be with me.

[Morgan]

Clickbait pages.

[Jess Hilarious]

Y'all better stop.

[DJ Envy]

I'm telling y'all. Y'all, it's something bad gonna happen to y'all. Y'all keep doing that. Y'all better stop that. Yeah, when we were sitting down, I was at my puppet shop. We was talking about my family.

[Jess Hilarious]

What was they gonna do while I.

[DJ Envy]

Was in there signing stuff? I had all my family there.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's why she said she gonna sit.

[DJ Envy]

There so she can get. So they can get stuff. Have fun there, y'all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y'all hate on me, and then y'all.

[Jess Hilarious]

Go and hate on my girl.

[DJ Envy]

Like, we're unseparable, bro. We are we with each other.

[Jess Hilarious]

Like, she hurting. Of course I'm gonna be hurting.

[DJ Envy]

If I'm hurting, of course she gonna be hurt. Hurting. Come on, bro. That john. That don't hurt, bro.

[Morgan]

To me. Baby girl just need training, media training. I mean, they could be going through something. It could be something going on. We don't know. I mean, I know for the Internet is giving. Get the hell away from her, Travis. She's not happy for you. You know, we like to tell people how they should feel about their relationship, but honestly, it could have been a bad day. It could just be. Baby girl is just, you know, not good in the media.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know, it could be overwhelming.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, it could be what she said it could be. You know, they were looking for the moment of prom to hug Travis in. She didn't want to be in that shot. She didn't want to be overzealous because they would be like, hey, you're all in this shot. So maybe she wanted to fall back. So you got. You gotta. You know, sometimes you got to take things with a grain of salt, and you got to understand it could be so many different things. Then I heard her explain that she was in the Adidas store. They were in there for a while, and she asked him, hey, do you want me to go back with the family or this, that and the other? We don't know what they were actually saying, but if he's cool with it.

[DJ Envy]

Why the hell y'all care?

[Jess Hilarious]

That's his girl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's his fiance. Now you talking. Now you're talking. Talking. Because I just think it's ridiculous for grown people to care so much about what those 20 somethings are doing, and they come into whole conclusions about the totality of their relationship based off clips. Man, y'all so miserable online. And listen, it's not a coincidence that all of this is coming the weekend Travis Hunter won the Heisman Trophy. The criticism, the hate, it comes with the success. And guess what? It's going to keep coming, Travis, because you're not about to be unsuccessful. So you just got to learn to block that noise out, because that's all it is, is noise.

[Morgan]

That's right. What? That's Jess with the mess. All right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Thank you, Jess.

[DJ Envy]

Sh.

[Jess Hilarious]

Man, who you giving that down to?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man 4 After the hour, man. We need a person named Markham David Bond to come to the front of the congregation. They say if you keep doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results. That's insanity, right? This is insane. All right, we'll discuss.

[Jess Hilarious]

We'll get to that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Your execution on the donkey of the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Day is something to behold.

[Jess Hilarious]

Is it a reason?

[Morgan]

Gave me donkey of the day and I deserved it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People need to know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, you need to tell them. You have the voice.

[Morgan]

Tell them. Tell them. Tell them.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's time For Donkey of the Day.

[Morgan]

It's a read.

[Paul Wall]

But you're so good at it.

[DJ Envy]

You trying to be a fake ass?

[Morgan]

Charlamagne.

[DJ Envy]

There only one Charlemagne involved.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Damn Charlemagne.

[Morgan]

Who you give a Ducky of the Day to now?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, Sexy Red.

[Morgan]

Hold on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me drink some water. Donkey. Today for Tuesday, December 17th goes to Markham David Bond. I need to tell you a story about Markham. He was found guilty by a federal jury in LA on one count of interference with commerce by robbery, one counter using a firearm during a crime of violence, and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Now, he's not a young man. He's 61 years old, okay? And 61 is way too whole, way too old to be catching all those charges. Okay? This man, at the tender age of 60, robbed an armored truck or attempted to rob an armored truck. The brakes, joints, too. Ran up on one at gunpoint in the Chase bank parking lot on August 18, 2023. So he's going under the prison, okay? Probably gonna die in there. He approached the driver, pointed the gun at him, and demanded the driver put the money in the bag. Of course, the driver gave it up. Why wouldn't he? He gave him the duffel bag full of cash. Malcolm grabbed the bag, fled the area, made off with $145,000 in cash. Now, that's a little slick. Okay, now this is where it starts to get really, really great, though. Investigators said they recovered cash. They recovered the cash, the.145,000, from the robbery hidden inside a mini fridge at his house. Okay? They found the.40 caliber pistol containing 10 rounds of ammo and the shirt he was wearing when he committed the felony. Okay? Oh, by the way, the empty Brinks bag. It was found inside the getaway vehicle. This is what happens when you steal. Robbing banks at 61 years old. Okay, See, let me tell you something about this aging thing. I was born in 1978. I'm 46 years old. I'm at the age where I don't want to do nothing extra, okay? That's why before I go to bed, I get my water, so I have it on the nightstand. Because there's no walking to the kitchen in the middle of the night. That's too much energy, okay? I got the energy for that. I got my tissue by the bed in case I got to blow my nose, get something out my nose. Ain't no walking to the bathroom for that. And you only get up and go to the bathroom when it's a real emergency. I'm saying all that to say he's 61. Okay, 61 is too old to be trying to hide evidence that ain't happening. But let me get back to the story. I know you may be thinking Markham is getting donkey today because he robbed a bank at 61 years old. No, that's just part of it. Let's go to CBS News LA for the report, please. This is the picture. We have photos, rather I should say, of the person that they arrested. This is actually security stills from the actual moments of the robbery going down. You see the guards there, the armored guard in the back, That's a suspect.

[Jess Hilarious]

Up there on the left.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He allegedly pointed a gun at the the armored car driver there and said.

[Jess Hilarious]

Give me all the money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He ultimately took over $100,000 worth of cash from this armored bank. Now, because of the help of the LAPD and the security cameras from the bank, they were able to get a picture of him and the car and ultimately take this man into custody. He is now facing those federal charges of robbing the courier here as well as bank robbery because of the robbery happened at a bank. Now, now here's the kicker in all this. I told you this had a twist. This guy has done this before. He was actually in prison in the 80s and 90s. Sentenced to 46 years in prison for a same exact crime. He requested a compassionate release 20 years early from when he was supposed to get out. The judge said he was at low risk of reoffending, but here we are. He's back in custody for the exact same thing. Now, that man did 26 years in prison already. He was released on compassionate release in 2022 following a conviction for bank robbery and other firearms offenses in the mid-90s. Now, I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but if he did 26 years and he's 61 and he came home in 2022, that means he was around 59. So he went to prison when he was 33. You went to prison when you were 33 for bank robbery and other father firearms offenses. Did 26 years, got released for compassionate release, and last week got sentenced for bank robbery and other firearms offenses. Again, this proves jail is not a correctional facility, okay? Nobody can assist you in growing, evolving, changing, pivoting, whatever you want to call it. If it ain't in you, okay? If it ain't in you, it ain't in you. What, Islam not in the prison no more? Huh? You get a second chance at life and you come home doing the Same thing. Malcolm was sentenced to 46 years and 10 months in prison. In 95, you got 20 years shaved off your sentence, and you came home and gave the system a rerun. Either he got to be the dumbest human on the planet or he misses his boyfriend.

[Jess Hilarious]

He got a boyfriend?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on now.

[Jess Hilarious]

He got a boo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on, now. You know Envy. No. All right, okay. You not gonna make me believe that a man did 26 years, not 26 months. 26 years, and you come home doing the same exact thing that got you there. Nah, bro. You miss getting your prostate tickled by Lil Snake? Okay? You miss getting that rusty anchor from your celly name Sidewander? Let me tell you something. When you are blessed to receive another opportunity at life, you gotta make the most of it, okay? When God gives you a second chance, it's not something to take for granted. The reason they call it a compassionate release is because giving someone a second chance is an act of kindness and understanding. And everybody, I mean everybody, every single person, everyone on this planet deserves a second chance, but not for the same mistake. Please let Remy Ma give Malcolm Bond the biggest Hee haw.

[Morgan]

Hee haw.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hee haw.

[Morgan]

You stupid mother. Are you dumb?

[Jess Hilarious]

He probably thought compassionate release or something else.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

House. Well, you miss Diddy. You miss them parties, don't you? You miss. You miss the Diddy holiday party, don't you?

[Morgan]

Just stop. You never DJ one of them, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, he did.

[Jess Hilarious]

I've never been.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was working on his own drink. He's going to have a brown dot shock.

[Jess Hilarious]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what that brown dot stood for?

[Jess Hilarious]

There's only one person up here that's been to a Diddy party, and that is Lauren Rosa. No, that is Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What she was doing, I have no idea. She.

[Jess Hilarious]

She's the only one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She ain't have what they want nowhere.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I was ready to say she was safe. She's the safest one at the party, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right. Unless his name used to be Lucas. You know her name? I'm sorry.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, all right.

[Morgan]

Oh, my God. Hey, yo. Unless our name used to be Lucas.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. Now, when we come back, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-10511. What is your definition of a friend? Now, this comes from the conversation earlier when Jess reported about Jay Z and Diddy, and yesterday they came out and said that they are not friends, allegedly. So we're asking. 800-585-1051, what is your definition of a friend. People assume that they were friends. They seen the this is my bro and we toast and this, that, and the other, yada, yada yada. Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's topic time.

[DJ Envy]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

With the Breakfast Club.

[Jess Hilarious]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, this story comes from Jess with the mess breaking down Jay Z's press conference yesterday where his attorney said that Jay and Puff are not friends, they were business associates. So we wanted to ask, 800-585-1051, what is the definition of being a friend? I think people assume they were friends just because you've seen the pictures they've been in. They work with each other so many times. You've seen the toast and then my brother this, my brother that. So I think people assumed that they were friends. So let's ask, what is the definition of a friend? Let's start with you, Jess.

[Morgan]

To me, you know, my definition by experience is just somebody that you can confide in, somebody that knows you. Like, you can't really call them a friend unless they know your family. You. We have, you know, and then we argue, but then we get right back to, you know, who we are. I trust you. Like, I can tell you, I don't tell nobody anything, everything. But, you know, it's just the word friend gets thrown around, especially in the industry a lot. And that's. I've said this before up here, you know, and made people upset behind it. But it is what it is. If I don't know, it's the difference between being an associate and a close associate.

[Jess Hilarious]

The world is constantly changing. It's up to you to decide how to respond. Choose to be bold, to try something new. Choose to reinvent yourself. That's what Nissan did with the all new, totally reimagined Kicks. The dynamic new exterior styling immediately announces that Nissan isn't messing around.

Can't stay here, friend, you know what I'm saying? If they ain't kick it outside of business, you hey, that don't mean they friends. You know what I'm saying? They weren't friends.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Charlamagne, what's a friend? That's an interesting question. I mean, I think a friend, I think being a friend is a verb. You know, it's an action. Not sure if it's something you can explain, but if I did try to explain it, I would say a friend is someone you can, you know, travel down the road and back again with their heart is true. They're a pal and a confidant. If they threw a party, golden girls, they would see the biggest gift would be for me and you know, the card attached would say, thank you for being a friend. That's what I would say.

[Jess Hilarious]

This guy's a golden girl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's a golden girl. I just made all that. Girl, are you crazy?

[Jess Hilarious]

I just freestyled oh my goodness off.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The top of the head.

[Morgan]

Nah, D. I think, I think a.

[Jess Hilarious]

Friend is somebody that you can trust and you don't need to be able to call them every day. They don't need to necessarily be at your house every weekend. But somebody when they need you, they're in your corner or you are in their corner. That's what I think.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's why you should stop having sex with people who not your friends. And I really truly mean that because I don't think that y'all really be thinking about what sex is. So you letting somebody get inside of you, you letting somebody sweating you, you might potentially Have a baby from this person, you putting your body on top of this person's body. That person better be a friend. Because if you doing all of that with somebody you don't trust, that's crazy.

[Morgan]

So is this related to the tax topic? This. The sex and the friends?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know.

[Jess Hilarious]

Charlamagne. Just throw everything in.

[DJ Envy]

Sex.

[Morgan]

I know damn well they ain't say nothing about the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I like all of y'all definitions, is what I'm saying. All of y'all definitions of friends. So I'm just saying you should only do. If you going to give up your body to somebody, it should be to a friend. What about you?

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Huh?

[Jess Hilarious]

Hello? Who's this? Hey, it's Renee from Newark.

[Morgan]

Brick City.

[Jess Hilarious]

Renee from Brick City, Newark.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's happening? Brick City.

[Jess Hilarious]

What's up? Newark. Let's talk about friends.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Charlemagne. I missed you at the opening of Hashtoria.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, pull up. We doing the first annual Hashtoria Christmas Toy Drive, so you can go there and drop off your unwrapped toys at hashtory at 799 Broad street in Newark. I'll be there for that.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay. See you then.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yep.

[Morgan]

Good morning. Good morning, DJ Evie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning.

[Morgan]

Good morning, dad with the mask. Good morning, baby.

[Jess Hilarious]

Now we talking.

[Morgan]

How you guys doing this morning?

[Jess Hilarious]

We're great.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's black and holly fit.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. So.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Yep. So my definition of friend is someone who's loyal. They're not looking, you know, I'm not looking. Even more so. And as odd as they may seem when we fall out, that's not your opportunity to, you know, backstab me and to share my most inner thoughts and secrets. Something that I've shared with you, you know, in confidence as a confidant. So, although things may not always work.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Out with best friends, or friends, even.

[Morgan]

If we're not, that's still, like, a part of the contract.

[Jess Hilarious]

I think we lost. Damn. Sorry, Renee.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She right, though. Yep, she right. I mean, I think at the end of the day, what, everybody's just saying that being a friend is a verb. It's an action, like.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, but I think a lot of people take that friend word very loosely. Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Because, you know, if you always see it all the time, my friend, as soon as we're not friends anymore, what's the first thing they do? A lot of people start kicking your back in line. Kick your back in, tell your secrets.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Never liked how you dressed.

[Jess Hilarious]

They was never your friend.

[Morgan]

I just fell out with somebody who I thought was my. What'd you say, hey.

[DJ Envy]

You know what?

[Morgan]

Answer the phone.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hey, Whitney.

[Morgan]

Hey. Hey, you guys, how are you?

[Jess Hilarious]

Good morning. We're talking about friends now. You got what's your definition of a friend?

[Morgan]

So to me, my definition of a.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Friend is someone that genuinely cares about you.

[Morgan]

Someone that considers what you have going.

[Lauren LaRosa]

On, checks in on you.

[Morgan]

So to me, all relationships are two way streets.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And if your friend isn't at least.

[Morgan]

Matching the energy or effort that you put, then that's when it's time to look it over.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, that's real, man.

[Jess Hilarious]

Thank you, Whitney. 800-585-105. We're asking, what's the definition of a friend? What is your definition of a friend? Let's discuss this. The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

If y'all talking about it, you know we talking about it. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

With the Breakfast Club.

[Jess Hilarious]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, this conversation actually comes from Jay Z. His attorney yesterday said that Jay and Puff were never friends. They were business associates, but never friends. So we're asking, what is the definition of a friend?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's harsh, man. I mean, like, you got to ask a lot of questions like, you know, what about you friends? Will they stand their ground? Will they let you down? Are they going to be low down? Will they ever be around?

[Morgan]

Would they let you drown or would.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They turn their backs on you?

[Jess Hilarious]

That's what about you, that's tlc.

[Morgan]

What about your friends?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What is y'all talking about?

[Morgan]

Running out of things to say. So you're resorting the lyrics like, yo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Stop, this is all me.

[Jess Hilarious]

But I think, I think that the. The best. The best time to see who your friends friend is is when you're going through something, right? Because your friend's gonna stand by you regardless, you know, I mean, they're gonna make sure, you know, they hold you up and make sure. Whether it's a breakup, whether it's a death in the family or whatever it may be, your friend's gonna be by your side, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, he might let you hold that down on your own because you need to learn. You've been trying to tell your dumbass.

[Morgan]

For a long time, that's a real friendship.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's a real friendship. But they still there, though. They just gonna let you learn. Hello? Who's this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, what up, though?

[Jess Hilarious]

What up though? Talk to us. What's the first A friend.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what's a friend, man? First let me shout out my two homeboys, man.

[DJ Envy]

They real good friends.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They always there for me when I can't be there. Shout out to Chris and my homeboy. My homeboy Chuck, man, come through.

[DJ Envy]

So just this past weekend, my homeboy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Chuck, I had an incident where my daughter had a chair leading, and I was out of. I was out of state, and he was. He just so happened to be working with the guy that wife that run the chitlin. So the guy called me, was like, yeah, you know your daughter debt, dude, for the chair. I didn't know. My daughter didn't tell me until, like, the last minute. So I was like, yeah, you know what I'm saying? I'll make the payment next week or whatever. The guy text me back like, hey, somebody said, merry Christmas. They paid your debt. I'm like, who paid my debt? He, like, yeah, a guy named Chuck said he your friend. He didn't even tell me or nothing.

[DJ Envy]

He just did it out the kindness of his heart.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just thought that was dope.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's dope. That's a true friend. And I think a lot of. I think, like you said, friends will pull up for you when you can't be there. I got a lot of friends when I'm on the road road. They pull it up to my kids game. They pull it up to my. My. My daughter's dance competition. If my wife is going out somewhere in the city, they'll make sure they. They go out with her to make sure she's safe. So me and my friends definitely do that.

[Morgan]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What made it even crazier, though? I owe the some money, and he still did it. That's a real friend in there. That's your friend friend.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it is.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that's what it is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Morgan]

Yeah, shut up.

[Jess Hilarious]

Let's get to Jess with.

[DJ Envy]

On the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's a culture shooter.

[Morgan]

She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see.

[DJ Envy]

It's time to set it off.

[Morgan]

All right, so Nelly's annual ball. Okay, so he had his annual Black and White ball on Sunday in St. Louis, where I will be this week and get your tickets. I will be at the Helium Comedy Club. We got two shows on Friday, two shows on Saturday, and they're almost sold out. So get your [e-mail] and he didn't do the ball last year. He bought it back this year, and he did. He bought it back to do a fundraiser for the Make a Wish foundation and scholarships for Harris Stowe State University. So that's what's up. Yo. Drop a clues bomb for the good brother. And at the ball, Nelly and the Saint Lunatics were given the key to the city. We got audio for the. You've had an amazing year and an amazing career. And when I say there are times when I ran for mayor, I said I wanted to put St. Louis back on the map. But I think we can all agree.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

In this room that Nelly has put.

[Morgan]

St. Louis on the map.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And because of that, we want to.

[Morgan]

Give him his flowers here. And so it is my honor to present you with a key to this city.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that thing, right.

[Morgan]

We want to just thank you for all that you do for our community.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I ain't hear nothing about the same lunatics. Jesse, you said Nelly and the Saint Lunatics got a key to the city.

[Morgan]

Because they did. It's just. They just. They just got the Nelly party. I didn't hear it either, but Nelly and the Saint Lunatics were giving it to the city.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Yep, yep. Ashton. I mean, Ashton, my son. Jesus Christ. Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thinking about talking about you right now.

[Morgan]

Yes. Ashanti and Ellie. They also had a cute moment where they perform the song Baby, Baby, Baby together on stage.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Me and you, we met a baby baby.

[Morgan]

They just have us hard drop on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A clue, Enjoying their life.

[DJ Envy]

Yep.

[Morgan]

They were laughing and dancing and Nelly said, we made a baby, baby, baby, baby. You know, and remember back in November, it was rumors about them having a second child or whatever. And in the interview, we also had them, like, hinting at another baby. And they laughed. And Nelly pretty much pleaded the fifth after they asked him about it. Like. But people don't understand when you do stuff like plead the fifth, or you be like. Or like, you make a dumb sound before just saying no, or I don't want to talk about that or whatever. You're. You're making it more suspect, like, yeah, we know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can I ask a question, though?

[Morgan]

What's that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why? That couldn't just have been about the baby they just made two months ago?

[Jess Hilarious]

The baby, baby, baby or the other baby.

[Morgan]

I just made it because he was rubbing her stomach.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We made a baby. Baby, baby. They just had one. I don't think the baby's two months old, is it? I don't know.

[Jess Hilarious]

I think so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, three.

[Morgan]

But either way, maybe you're extremely further away if you have a baby, baby, baby. So it could be another baby, baby, baby in there. I keep saying baby, baby, because that's what they. That's what they did.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not pregnant again right now.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's true.

[Morgan]

I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You are married.

[Morgan]

Nope. And now we got these prenatal laws in New York. I don't know. Anyway.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Anyway.

[Morgan]

And also, look, when Fat Joe was up here, Low had asked him about it. And this is what he said.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They were saying that Shanti is having another baby. Is that happening?

[DJ Envy]

I don't think so, but I wouldn't put it past it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's the problem.

[Jess Hilarious]

I think I got lied.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That arm was long as hell.

[DJ Envy]

Pause.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There wasn't no sound effect on.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They were saying that Shanti is having another baby. Is that happening?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y'all put some sauce on on that.

[Morgan]

I didn't even pause that. I was like, man, nobody say pause. Anybody follow up? Yeah, but. But he said he may have a big mouth. He said that they lied. They may have lied to him. They may have told him, like, no, ain't no baby, just for the sake of his mouth being big. And he might come up here and say something or he might say something anyway before they say something that's true, you know, it is what it is. All right, moving on. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. So Ariana recently spoke to Jessica Shaw for the SAG AFTRA foundation. And during the conversation, Ariana spoke on her relationship with co star Cynthia Erivo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We talk a lot about this pact.

[DJ Envy]

That we made to take care of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Each other and to be really honest with each other about anything that were to come up. But I don't think people really get how granular like, we got and how.

[Morgan]

Fully we mean that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, we sat there and, you know, when I got my contract, I called her and I was like, hey, let's.

[Morgan]

Go through this thing. Like, let's go beat per.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Beat through this together and make sure that we're aligned in what we need. Because if you need something thing, we need it together. I want us to have each other's backs. Like, your problems become my problems and mine become yours. I love that.

[Morgan]

I love it. That's exactly why I picked this story to do. Like, yo, it actually speaks to the fact that, you know, it's been always been a thing that women automatically just get less than men, but then black women get even less than that. You know what I mean? So I love that she took the time out to say that. And then there had been rumors of a huge pay gap anyway between since Cynthia and Ariana.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. And you know what? Those rumors came from the goddamn Internet. That's why I'm glad that they dispelled the Internet and always making the Internet look stupid, because they'll never know what they're talking about. They said grand. They got 15 million and she got 1 million. I think it was.

[Morgan]

Yep. And yep. That's what. That's what it said. And then A spokesperson for the production company did say it was because of the Internet. And it said that reports of pay disparity between Cynthia and Ariana are completely false and based on Internet f. Fodder. You know, that was a white person fodder.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I bet you the Internet don't even believe it. No, they, like, that's not true. That's not true. Y'all ain't get paid the same like, y'all know.

[Jess Hilarious]

But I'm glad they did. I'm glad they were able to come together and figure that stuff out. That's dope.

[Morgan]

Yo, but check this out, yo. The movie did so good. It already made 520 million globally on a budget of 150 million. They already made the money back and all that already, you know, and heading into the holiday season, that's kind of hard to do because this. This is actually the eighth. What is it? It's the eighth highest grossing film of 2024. And. And this makes the. And it's also the highest grossing Oz related film. And around the holidays, it's kind of hard to do that because people want to be home watching, like, Home Alone and Christmas movies and stuff like that, you know, that's what I said.

[Jess Hilarious]

I was like, it's difficult for people to go out, like, you know, that's what I'm saying. Like, Clarissa Shields movie comes out on. On December 25th, on Christmas Day. It's gonna be difficult because it's like, do people go out like, Charlamagne says he's taking his daughters, But I'm not. I'm not leaving my house Christmas.

[Morgan]

I'm not leaving my house on Christmas either. So that's kind of hard. But I'm happy pulled it off. And shout out to Ariana for even just doing that, being there for her. But the interviews, they. They're like. They're like so in sync. I be thinking. I think they shrooming, you know, allegedly. I think they own shrooms. Interesting, because they're always just so in touch with their emotions, you know, and like, they speak to each other mentally some type of way, you know, and they take care of each other. And like. Like Cynthia, without even asking. Ariana can always tell when something's wrong and then vice versa. Like, it's crazy when you shrimp. I've been on that type thing, Bluetooth situation with my sister and my boyfriend. When I'm streaming with them, it's like you speak to them telepathically some type of way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you saying it's a. A synergy? Between what's her name? Cynthia.

[Morgan]

Cynthia Aro and Ariana Grande. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Watch every interview. They be crying, they be just snotting and all in. They be wiping each other tears and looking at each other's eyes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan]

Like they f to tear each other down.

[Jess Hilarious]

Stupid.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's only a matter. It's only a matter.

[Morgan]

I swear she look like Jay Z. Yo, lean away.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shut up, man. What?

[Jess Hilarious]
