[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, we joke all the time on our show and it seems like we hate on each other, but in real life, it's all love here. And that's family. And that's why this message from the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate really, really matters. Because real hate isn't jokes. It's real people getting targeted. Like the kid who gets singled out at school in the commercial during the big game. But what stood out to me was someone choosing to show love instead of ignoring it. If you saw that Blue Square commercial, you know, and if you want to show support, sharing the Blue Square is one way you Stand for love and not hate. That ass up.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Beautiful.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We had a whole bunch of different panels. We had panels. We had an attorney talking about expunge. We had. Talking about a panel talking about HBCUs. We had a panel talking about Fetty Wap came and talked about having disabilities and being in the industry. There was a lot going on.

[Angela Yee]

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

That's why Charlamagne. Bola.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No Spanish word.

[Caller or Guest]

That's all.

[DJ Envy]

If you want to rep his set now. I bet you want to rep your set now.

[Caller or Guest]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I did for Black History Month.

[DJ Envy]

Black family reunion.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I did for Black History Month. I did.

[DJ Envy]

Everybody forgot it was Black History Month last night, didn't they? Yeah. Real quick.

[Caller or Guest]

You see what I'm saying? Real quick.

[DJ Envy]

Was it no Black History Month celebration last night? It was all about Benito. Yes. By the way, I don't. I didn't understand a word me. No, that he said. But I don't have to know the language to know the vibes.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Listen, okay, when I say Chris was so tuned in. My husband was so tuned in.

[DJ Envy]

Was he afraid?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

I was. Was he afraid?

[DJ Envy]

[Angela Yee]

No, he wasn't.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

He was shouting to the top of his lungs all the bad Bunny songs.

[Angela Yee]

What he talking about?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. I don't know. Any Bad Bunny records. But I. Like I said, I don't need to know the language to know the vibes. The energy was great.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The energy was dope. Visually, it. It looked dope.

[DJ Envy]

Production.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Production was dope. The game itself was trash.

[DJ Envy]

The game wasn't trash.

[Caller or Guest]

It was just.

[DJ Envy]

It was what we expected. Seattle Seahawks are a very defensive team and the New England Patriots have. They shouldn't. No, you know what? I'm not gonna say they shouldn't be there. The New England Patriots are right where they should have been. Yes, but Drake Mays has been terrible all playoffs, and last night he just ran into a really, really, really elite defense. Yeah.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

But you don't think it was a horrible game?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It wasn't a good game to me. I didn't enjoy it.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, it wasn't a good game because it wasn't close.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And it was a long game. That game. It started at 6:30 and I don't think it ended until like midnight.

[Gary Owen]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

Midnight, eh? It's the same length of every Super Bowl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I seemed like a lot longer.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Very underwhelming because it wasn't.

[DJ Envy]

It wasn't. It wasn't that down to the wire, you know. Yeah, it was. It was never a game.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think after the first quarter, we kind of knew who was gonna win. Then the commercials. The commercials weren't hitting like they usually do.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Nah, the super bowl commercials, they used to be like the highlight of the game.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, yo, man, I didn't even see a Doritos.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Doritos, usually they do a huge commercial Cheetos.

[DJ Envy]

I think every healthy person in the world who is fit and who has lost weight needed to sue DJ Khaled for cultural appropriation. I am sick of seeing DJ Khaled in all these weight loss commercials and he ain't lost a pound. But first it was Weight Watchers, now he's in that. Say with some pill commercial last night. It was some type of pill you take for weight loss. Why does DJ Khaled keep getting weight loss sponsorships and he ain't lost a God damn pound?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now that pill is dope. That's gonna be game changing.

[DJ Envy]

Not for Khaled.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, it's gonna work.

[DJ Envy]

Everybody but him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I guess it's similar to the, you know, the shot, you know, the Olympic shot or whatever it is. But now it comes in a pill form and you can take it. It'll help you lose that weight.

[DJ Envy]

Whoever Khaled's agent and manager is, drop one of clues bombs for him. Cause I don't Know how they keep him busy? Caused companies to keep giving DJ Khaled deals. When are healthy people going sue Khaled for cultural appropriation. Like imagine you really lost 40, 50 pounds because of weight watches and because of whatever that pill is. But he the one keep getting the commercials.

[Caller or Guest]

Damn.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

That's crazy.

[DJ Envy]

That's insane.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was on the treadmill watching the game. I did see him.

[DJ Envy]

I went to his.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, he was on the treadmill watching.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, because he knew that commercial was coming on. He only do that when he know and that's crazy.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

I just saw a video of DJ Khaled. He was doing a concert, right? Or at some performance and he was about the crowd surfing. He went all the way to the back of the stage and he started running full speed to jump on the people. You can see like you can hear the screams of terror.

[DJ Envy]

The fact that video was real is crazy to me. That wasn't even Khed. I've seen that video so many times.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, that was not Khed.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

I was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wait, let it go. Let you explain it.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

She's getting into it. I'm glad. I'm happy that you saved me from that. But I swear I thought that was him. Cuz people were screaming and shouting. They couldn't believe that. That he was.

[DJ Envy]

I don't even know. What do we got? You playing some bad bunny to start the show. Put some back. Come on, Reg. You the Puerto Rican. You supposed to have Bad Bunny queued up. Bad bunny on. And I don't you can pick anything because I don't know what the hell he be talking about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got something? He got the joint with Drake is in the system.

[Nissan Campaign Voiceover]

Brutal.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They gotta have his, his. The stuff we played.

[DJ Envy]

Had no Bad Bunny queued up. No, that he performed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When we come back, we got front page noodles. And Gary Owen will be joining us this morning. Comedian Gary Owen, we're gonna be kicking it with him, so don't go anywhere. You got it up. We'll give it a 10 seconds. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6. We got it.

[Caller or Guest]

Let's go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's the breakfast logo?

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

He looked just like DJ Head dropping a clues about the Kenneth Walker. And I'm gonna tell you something else. I hope that they have honest conversations on all these sports. You know, talk Shows today about how Drake may probably had one of the worst runs of a quarterback. That is. That was in the MVP conversation ever. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And this is his second year in the league, too.

[DJ Envy]

Second year in the league. But the playoff run was horrible. And this is a guy who was considered for MVP all year. So please have honest conversations about that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. And again, salute to Bad Bunny. Absolutely, positively killed it. He represented for Puerto Rico and all the Spanish countries out there.

[DJ Envy]

He killed it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Ricky Martin and Ricky Martin.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Cardi B out there dancing. Jessica Alba. Pedro Pass. Mezcal Day. Improvement. I didn't know that Puerto Ricans made coquito after the holidays, by the way, too. Y' all be having a little stash. I saw y' all posting y' all coquito all over Instagram yesterday. I thought. I thought they didn't make it after. What is coquito like? I'm Puerto Ric. I mean, Spanish eggnog.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, that's exactly what he was gonna say. Puerto Rican eggnog. What's up, Mimi?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good morning, M.V. josh Charlemagne. How y' all doing?

[DJ Envy]

Peace, Mimi Brown.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Hey, girl.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good morning. So we begin this morning as fallout continues over that racist social media post that was shared by President Trump. Now, the president, his account, it shared a video showing former President Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama portrayed as apes, a racist image that has long been used to insult black people. At the post. It was later deleted after bipartisan backlash in the White House, though it says a staffer posted that video by mistake and that the president had not seen the offensive content before it went out. So he was asked about the incident on Air Force One, and this was his response. Let's listen.

[Gary Owen]

No, I didn't make a mistake. Black voters have been great to me. I've been great to them. And I am, by the way, the least racist president you've had in a long time. As far as I'm concerned. Think of what I've done. Criminal justice reform. Nobody else could do it. Obama couldn't do it. Nobody could do it. Clinton couldn't do it. And then I funded the universities, which nobody else was willing to do.

[DJ Envy]

They were going every year, they'd come.

[Gary Owen]

Back to Washington and they'd be begging for money.

[Nissan Campaign Voiceover]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Reaction, it came in quickly. South Carolina Governor Tim Scott, who said he was praying that it was fake. And he called it the most racist thing that he had seen come from the White House. Did you guys see this? And what did you think when you heard this over the weekend, I definitely saw it.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Sorry, Childish, clowned out.

[DJ Envy]

You know what I mean? Yeah. I mean Trump being racist ain't like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was it surprising it's not news?

[DJ Envy]

Like, yeah, it's like Nick saying Nick Cannon got another girl pregnant. Like, you know, I mean like, okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I wasn't surprised.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Like, why is it news at this point?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's sad and it's effed up, but it, it didn't surprise me.

[DJ Envy]

Spanish people drink coquito. Like, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you just learn that word?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This morning.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, that post that was, it was shared and I said it was deleted of course. But this morning the backlash, it continue into a broader conversation about race and leadership. And Maryland Governor Wes Moore, what happened to him, is now raising concerns after being excluded from an upcoming White House dinner with the nation's governor. So Moore, he serves as the, as the vice chair of the bipartisan National Governors association and recently led a delegation of governors to the White House. But he was not invited to the annual black tie dinner tied to this winter's meeting. So President Trump said that the gathering would only include Republican governors, but more and Colorado Governor Jared Polis, they were specifically left out. So Governor Moore, he was asked whether he believes that this was race related. Let's listen to his answer.

[DJ Envy]

Well, I have long learned that I'm not trying to get inside over the President's psyche. It's not a good use of my time. It's not lost to me that I am the only black governor in this country. And I find that to be particularly painful considering the fact that the president.

[Julian Edelman]

Is trying to exclude me from an.

[DJ Envy]

Organization that not only are my peers have asked me to help to lead, but then also a place where I know I belong in.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So the White House, they are responding this morning saying the dinner is a presidential event and that the President has the authority to invite whomever he chooses. So in response, More says that the National Governors association will not recognize the dinner as an official NGA event.

[DJ Envy]

And also to Mimi, about the monkey image I thought the outrage people had over Trump posting the Obama's is monkeys that they, that, that they should have had that over Trump saying he wanted to get Obama arrested. But it's all distractions. He, he does all of this to distract you from, you know, all the other sinister, nefarious stuff they got going on.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Epstein files, voter rolls, all the things. Well, coming up at 7, how do you celebrate Black History Month if you can't say what you're celebrating. That's the debate this morning happening on one college campus. We'll explain in the next hour.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. 805 151. Let us know how your weekend was, what you did, what you thought of the super bowl, all that. Call us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club.

Hey, Adjessa, what's up? Get it off your chest.

[Caller or Guest]

Hey, I want to talk a little bit about Bad Bunny's performance last night.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's talk.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Caller or Guest]

I want to talk specifically about the song that Ricky Martin sang.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yep, yep.

[Caller or Guest]

And I want to touch a little bit about. Okay, so Ricky Martin, he was sitting on that plastic chair. That's very recognizance of his. His album cover. And the song is called Lo Que Le Pasoa?

[Angela Yee]

Hawaii.

[Caller or Guest]

What happened to Hawaii? And if I could just read the chorus lyrics in English.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. Please do.

[Caller or Guest]

It says, they want to take the river from me and the beach, too they want my neighborhood and for my grandma to leave no, don't drop the flag or forget the lelo lie, which is their cultural dance, you know, our Hispanic cultural dance. Because I don't want them to do to you what happens to Hawaii, dope.

[DJ Envy]

Hawaii.

[Caller or Guest]

Hawaii. Yes.

[Angela Yee]

What happened to Hawaii?

[Caller or Guest]

And we know in Hawaii what basically happened with gentrification, you know, a redefine of. Basically a redefinition of Hawaiian. Let me ask what Hawaii is.

[DJ Envy]

Let me ask you another question. One of my people said he was paying homage to Daddy Yankee and Donald. How do you do that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He did that. He played all the records.

[Caller or Guest]

He played their records in the background. All you heard. Most of those records in the background that you heard are all Puerto Rican artists.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Gotcha.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When he played Gasoline, I thought Donald Ma was gonna come out. I mean, Daddy Yankee. I thought Daddy was gonna come out when he played it.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah, me, too. No, no, but you know, Daddy Yankees on some other stuff. He ain't on that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, well, thank you so much.

[Caller or Guest]

But on the back of his jersey, he had Ocasio and 64, which is his fraternal surname, and that's 64, the year his father was born.

[DJ Envy]

Gotcha.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you so much.

[Caller or Guest]

Thank you.

[DJ Envy]

Don't rate me if I saw latte. No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This guy's crazy.

[Caller or Guest]

[Gary Owen]

I ain't really care for it, bro.

[DJ Envy]

I ain't gonna lie.

[Caller or Guest]

I just want to get that off my chest first.

[DJ Envy]

What didn't you like about it? I didn't like it.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

It was.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't like it at all.

[Caller or Guest]

The whole super bowl was garbage. Just the New England Patriots trash. See how hard it is?

[Gary Owen]

They'll get it.

[Caller or Guest]

But they could have got somebody else.

[DJ Envy]

For the super bowl halftime performance, in my opinion. But why, though? Like, why?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

I mean, he ain't know none of this.

[Caller or Guest]

I couldn't understand nothing that he was saying.

[Gary Owen]

Yeah, I like that button.

[Caller or Guest]

I went to one of his performances before. I couldn't understand nothing.

[DJ Envy]

And I'm like, look, all right, you.

[Caller or Guest]

Know what I'm saying? This is American football. This ain't soccer.

[DJ Envy]

So I'm like, I understand. You know, trying to be all for.

[Caller or Guest]

One and all that, but.

[Gary Owen]

But I'm good on that.

[DJ Envy]

Respect to me, Puerto Rico is America.

[Gary Owen]

Though, not this thing.

[Caller or Guest]

Sure, sure. But I think the government is playing.

[DJ Envy]

With us right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, they.

[Caller or Guest]

They messing with our sports.

[DJ Envy]

They implode in the NBA.

[Caller or Guest]

My Bulls are cooked.

[DJ Envy]

I know y' all Knicks fans and.

[Caller or Guest]

All that, but I feel like the government got something to do with distracting us.

[DJ Envy]

Shut up, man. Dingo, get off my phone, man. My God. Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The government got something to do with his team.

[DJ Envy]

You hate to tell niggas to shut up during Black History Month, but just say, what the hell is he talking about? The government got something to do his sports just because they had bad. You think that. You think this government wanted Bad Bunny to perform at the Super Bowl? Donald Trump. Damn. They had a fit last night after he saw.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, okay.

[Caller or Guest]

So we get in the theater and, like, everybody has a seat, right?

[Gary Owen]

Yep.

[Caller or Guest]

I get in the theater and, like, there are people sitting in people's seats. There was this lady throughout the whole movie. I guess she didn't like the movie. So she kept saying, this is going straight to Tubi. You had two other people having a whole conversation. Like, one of them was drunk. One of them kept answering their phone. Like, everybody in the movie was like, yo, what the. Like, oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. But, yeah, Charlamagne.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Caller or Guest]

You can't do nothing nice for some people.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, you can.

[Caller or Guest]

They did not appreciate the movie. No, no, I said for some people.

[DJ Envy]

Listen. Some people, the movie is Moses to Black. It's Black History Month, people. Black people went to go watch the movie. That's part of the black movie going.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Experience and that's part of Black History Month. Now, did you like the movie? Did you like it?

[DJ Envy]

Oh, no, I loved it.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

[DJ Envy]

We gotta do better.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

It's their home training at some point.

[DJ Envy]

[Caller or Guest]

Hey, Jeff.

[Angela Yee]

Hey, girl, where you calling from?

[Caller or Guest]

The 757.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, Virginia. All right. Get it off of your chest, Mama.

[Caller or Guest]

So listen, I got two things to say. One thing for sure, you won't find Obama in them damn Epstein files. Y' all. All the monkey photos y' all want, but he ain't on that island raping them little girls.

[DJ Envy]

No, he is in the files, but not. But he's in the file because they be talking about him. That's about it.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah, but he went on that island, though. The other thing is, I could have put bad bunnies halftime show with some subtitles. My daughter.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

That's the only thing that I wish.

[Caller or Guest]

She Was in there jamming her ass off. And I'm sitting there looking at her like, can you tell me what he's saying? Can you tell me what he's saying? And she just got mad and went upstairs.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

But I wish the same thing. I wish they had the English subtitles with the bouncing ball on. That's my jam right there. I wish we could have had that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You could have put the subtitles on the show.

[Caller or Guest]

One of the songs was about his country. Was about. Not his country. It was about Puerto Rico. And it was really sad. And she was about to cry, But I was like, what's wrong? We having fun, right? She just looked at me, rolled her eyes, sucked her teeth, and went upstairs.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

What's wrong? We having fun, right?

[Caller or Guest]

Yo, that's what I asked her. We having fun, right? She was like, no, this dog is really sad.

[DJ Envy]

I was like, oh, I really enjoyed not knowing. Not knowing the language and not understanding what he was saying, because you were just forced to have to, you know, deal with the energy. You know what I mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, I would have loved to know what he was saying to me, too. I love the energy, too, but I would have loved to know.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, yeah, of course, but it's just something about not knowing that just makes you appreciate everything else even more. It's kind of like how they say, like, if you. If you don't have one of your senses, the other senses increase. Like, if you're blind and your hearing is better. If your hearing is, you know, I mean, if you're deaf, your vision is better. Like, I don't know. It just. It just was something about just feeling that energy and just watching it and not really knowing what he was saying, but just felt good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But if he was taking a stand, I wanted to take a stand with him, But I don't know if he was taking a stand or telling me to shake my ass.

[DJ Envy]

I was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't know which one.

[DJ Envy]

Feel the energy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was all. All the energy was good.

[DJ Envy]

So you need language to understand energy?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I said, oh, sometimes.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yeah, sometimes.

[Caller or Guest]

Sometimes what?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yes, you do need to hear what you do. You need to understand what somebody's saying to. To feel it.

[DJ Envy]

Imagine going to another country, right? Like a country like Puerto Rico. And Puerto Rico, you know, it is sultry and it is sexy.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Not going to another country, but I'm just going down the street.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, what you mean going to Puerto Rico and just, like, meeting a beautiful woman who don't speak the language, but just y' all connect with each other just off Energy that weekend. Wouldn't that be fly?

[Caller or Guest]

Right?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

You know what? Yeah, no, that's true. Because you just got finished telling us about 9090 Day Fiance, where they do that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

So that's what he's saying during the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Super bowl when he's. When he. When I'm wondering if he's making a stand against ice, I see all the flags coming in. I would love to know so I can stay. I mean, the vibe was great. Yeah, and the vibe was the feeling. Like even when he played a titular Gasolina record and said something, you know, was he, you know, saying something to Daddy Yankee or Don Omar? You know, when Ricky, you were paying.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Homage, so you could have shook your ass to that part.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I was rocking. And it was like Lady Gaga. I don't know why Lady Gaga was there. I was trying to figure that out.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, I mean, but it was dope. It was a dope show. I. I enjoyed. I enjoyed everything. Visually, I enjoyed it, too.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yeah, it was dope.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, now we got the latest for Laura coming up.

[Angela Yee]

We do. We gonna break down some of the things y' all talking about, and we got some exclusive details on some of the things that happened or not during the performance.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

And I like your hair. What's up?

[Angela Yee]

Thank you.

[DJ Envy]

Come on.

[Caller or Guest]

Name's Jack.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She fixed that. Yeah, she fixed that.

[Angela Yee]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

Envy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I wanted to see Cardi B. I wanted to see Cardi B. I know.

[Angela Yee]

I know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wanted to see.

[DJ Envy]

I, like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wanted to see that. But she was there, though. But we'll talk about it. Next is the Breakfast Club.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

You're talking LL Cool.

[Julian Edelman]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everything. Little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you.

[Caller or Guest]

Take me through that.

[Angela Yee]

Take me through that.

[DJ Envy]

The latest with Larno on the Breakfast Club. LL Cool B. Talk to me.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

All right, y'.

[Caller or Guest]

All.

[Angela Yee]

So the super bowl went down last night. The Seahawks played the Patriots. The Seahawks won 29 to 13. But the halftime show is what I am here to talk about. Yes. Now in attendance, we saw 21 savage. There was a video that went viral of him walking against the walls. He was coming in not with, but at the same time as Kendall Jenner. Uh, you also had, uh, Kim Kardashian and her new boo, Lewis Hamilton in. In the stands. But at the halftime show, Bad Bunny took the stage, and it went down. So he promised you guys in A earlier trailer that if you were not going to do anything else, if you did not understand what he was saying, you were definitely going to dance. And I feel like he accomplished that. Now it's being reported at this time that he is the first primarily Spanish language performance to ever take place at the Super Bowl. And the theme of the show was unity. Now there are some Easter eggs here. I heard you guys asking some questions earlier that took place during the show. So that giving it up. Yeah, that was a part of the performance where he was at that, like, house where all the other celebrities were. So you had. Cardi B was in that shot even though she did not perform. Uh, we also saw Jessica Alba, uh, Alex Earl was also there as well too. Uh, Carol G. Uh, Pedro Pascal. They are.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Where was Jocelyn Hernandez?

[Caller or Guest]

Why would she.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

And she's from Puerto Rico. She's a Puerto Rican princess. Anyway, go ahead.

[Angela Yee]

We can ask NFL later. But yes, but then actually on the stage, Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga were able to take the stage. They were his guests. Let's take a listen to. Yes, let's take a listen to Ricky Martin.

[Caller or Guest]

Yes.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

He killed it. And he had the little plastic chairs that they be having at the. The Spaniard cookouts. Well, Ricky.

[Angela Yee]

Ricky Martin took the stage and of course people were excited to see that because Ricky Martin has been or was the first face of a lot of the Latin US crossover music.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

He looked good too.

[Angela Yee]

He always looks good.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

And I saw that he posted like this really emotional moment with him and Bhad Bhabie and was just like super emotional. Bad Bunny. I'm sorry. Bad Bunny. It was really emotional and he was talking about having to take a minute to just it all in. And he thanked Bad Bunny for bringing him on stage. Now Lady Gaga also took the stage, but when she performed, there was a wedding that was happening that we later found out was actually a real wedding.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If he was just out of weddings on stage, he could have just let me know.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Well, but that was fire. She beat down the controlling her voice while she was dancing and all of that. Like, I love Lady Gaga, so.

[Angela Yee]

And a lot of people were trying to figure out, like, you know, why Lady Gaga, why that song was. Well, because so from what. What I was told and some of the reports as well too, it's because he was trying to lean so much into the unity thing. Like, we're all people, even on his football at the end of it, it's like together we are America. I believe the word said. It's like she's a Huge pop artist. That's a huge pop song. Now she's on stage with Bad Bunny and it's kind of like the collaboration of the world.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

And she does that song, that, that song originally with Bruno Mars.

[Angela Yee]

Yes.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

So I thought that he would have been there because he likes some type of Spanish too, right?

[Angela Yee]

I don't know, but I literally thought.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

That he would have performed it too.

[DJ Envy]

But that is a.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

That was a really. That's a love song, you know, So I. I do see why he wanted that in the lineup.

[Angela Yee]

Now, there was another moment where Bad Bunny handed off his Grammy to a. A young boy that was sitting on a couch and watching Bad Bunny's Grammy speech. That Grammy speech we remember because he said the whole ice out thing in the speech. Now, reports spread crazily after this happened that that young boy in that moment was five year old Liam Ramos, who was the five year old that was detained in Minnesota. But that I found out from an NFL spokesperson, but that that was not him. And then later reports were updated as well, and people were also trying to figure out because, you know, they decode everything like the 64 that bad bunny was wearing. So from what I'm told, that 64 honors his grandfather who also. Yeah, 64. I'm sorry, 64 paid homage to his uncle who passed away and played football and wore that number.

[DJ Envy]

So I thought the lady called up here this morning and said that was the year his father was born.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, I was told from a very close source that it was. It's to pay homage to his uncle who passed away. But there are a bunch of different reasons that people think that. That 64 was there as well too. Going back to different disasters and different things that have happened in p. Well, yeah, I was.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Was ready to say that. Say it all. The cat, the catastrophic stuff that happened in Puerto Rico. So, yes, I just love.

[Caller or Guest]

Don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't do that. Don't do that, don't do that.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

You know, the storms.

[DJ Envy]

Don't do that.

[Angela Yee]

Go ahead.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was gonna say it was dope, how he represented his culture. If you ever been to Puerto Rico or if you ever been to. If you've ever been to like a Puerto Rican town or even if you ever been to the Puerto Rican Day parade, you see the culture, whether it's the.

[Caller or Guest]

The ices.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What y' all call ices?

[DJ Envy]

The Coco Frio cart.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What do you call the ices?

[Caller or Guest]

What it called?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Coquito.

[DJ Envy]

I thought you talked about the cocoa. What's the cocoa?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Pina colada.

[Angela Yee]

No, no, but it was also fire too, because some of the things that he had set up on the stage. First of all, the production was crazy. I was trying to get the NFL spokesperson to talk to me about just what went into the production, but I didn't get anything.

[DJ Envy]

But I just want all the Puerto Rican people out there to know that we have a Puerto Rican in the room. He didn't know what was that. We have a couple of them. Eli knows too. Eli over there mad as hell because he over there talking about our culture.

[Angela Yee]

I've been talking to these before I came in here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was dope just to see the culture. Just them playing dominoes. Just what you see. If you ever go to Puerto Rico.

[DJ Envy]

I got some questions.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Celebrating. It just look like a whole.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's icy, right? Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

What was the concho frog and all of that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The frog is the. Oh, coquito, it's.

[Caller or Guest]

Huh?

[DJ Envy]

Frog that goes ki. Oh, okay, okay, okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But the frog is the national. That's the Puerto Rican national.

[DJ Envy]

Cuz if you go to Puerto Rico, you hear it at night instead of.

[Gary Owen]

Like crickets here in America. Well, here in New York, sorry.

[DJ Envy]

It'll be like, like go like little frogs and the sugar cane fields. That represents, like what, the working class of Puerto Rico. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

[Angela Yee]

The domino.

[Caller or Guest]

Talk about the.

[Angela Yee]

Talk about the light poles that they were on. Do you know the girl?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

They do that in the hood all the time. You ain't never seen nobody climb up the pole in Delaware.

[DJ Envy]

I don't need to know the language to understand the vibes. And the thing I do love about the bad Buny performance. It gives you an opportunity to learn.

[Angela Yee]

Learn, yeah. 100. So much stuff trying to figure this out. And I think people are going to be decoding this and learning stuff for weeks.

[DJ Envy]

Every January, we set intentions and make resolutions. But by February, a lot of those goals start falling off. Not because we don't want it, but because we think taking that next step is going to be so hard. Especially when it comes to starting a new business. That's why I rock with Shopify. If you're finally ready to invest in yourself and start that business, Shopify makes things simple. And if you already have a business, trust me, Shopify can handle anything you throw its way. That's one of the reasons Black Effect moved our stores there. Whether you're selling a few products or a full catalog, Shopify grows with you. One login gets you everything. No password chaos.

Whenever you are getting somebody to support your business, you need to make it as easy for them to support your business as possible. And Shopify does that.

[Caller or Guest]

That.

They even have Shopify Sidekick AI that actually helps with marketing, planning and all the back end business stuff. They even help you sell on social media and even directly through chat GPT. Starting a business is hard, but it's worth it. Trust me, I know. Don't be one of those people who let their dreams die early. Let Shopify help you and thank yourself later for not giving up.

[Julian Edelman]

You this is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. Now let's get into the serious stuff. We're talking football food, specifically Daisy French Onion Dip.

[Gary Owen]

That is serious.

[Julian Edelman]

Gotta try these delicious new dips from Daisy. These are so delicious. They're like homemade dips made with real herb and spices and other ingredients you'll find in your kitchen. Also made with some Daisy sour cream. Daisy sour cream is a long standing staple for Taco Tuesday.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

I know you.

[Gary Owen]

[Julian Edelman]

I'm a huge sour cream guy. I love sour cream. So I think burritos can't live without sour cream.

[Gary Owen]

I completely agree with that.

[Julian Edelman]

They also have Daisy Ranch dip. I love ranch dip.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

That's great.

[Julian Edelman]

I love it with crackers, wings, plain potato chip, the ones with the little crinkles, maybe some bell peppers. So get out there and give Daisy French onion dip a try. You will not regret it.

[DJ Envy]

Puerto Ricans know exactly what it was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was a dope show, man. And I think he's still for his culture, still for his community, still for Puerto Rico. So I thought that was dope. And the fact that he even, you know, did the Gasolina record and the Donald Ma stuff and it was so many dope things.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

And I did not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Puerto Ricans out there.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

All the trees was people.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

So when I came in here and showed him, he was like, you know, they were people. I was like, no, I didn't know that. That was so creative to have that. You know, I didn't know that.

[Caller or Guest]

That was.

[DJ Envy]

Some of my PR people told me the coconut stand, the sugar canes, the electricity poles, of course the little boy, it was like he was promoting local.

[Angela Yee]

Businesses in Portland, the taco stand, they. They posted him talking about how like just insane it is for them to be on that. That platform. There was a taco stand in the. In his set, whole performance.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

And the jewelry stand. It was a bunch of vendors.

[Angela Yee]

Yes, it was. And it was like the little black bar where he took a shot at. That's also like a local business as well too.

[DJ Envy]

Electricity polls was a dig at the PR government because they keep having blackouts. All that money to fix the grid and get changed. Yes, that was my. My Puerto Ricans told me the place.

[Angela Yee]

Is called Vilas Tacos Los Angeles. That's the. The business that was featured in the.

[Gary Owen]

Okay, all right.

[DJ Envy]

And also the message at the end, the only thing more Powerful than hate is love. That was Martin L. King, Jr. King, Jr. Okay.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, wait, real quick. We're, we're wrapping up, but I want to, I want to shout out Coco Jones too. She did amazing job. Every voice. Yes. And with the Whitney reference, she did an amazing job job. So shout out to Coco, even down to her wardrobe. Yes, the Whitney dress reference. Shout out to Van, who is her stylist as well. But yes, we're wrapping up the latest in the next hour, a little bit more from the super bowl because there may be some fallout with Cardi B and Stefon Diggs, but we gonna get into the conversation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, all right. We'll talk about that next. When we come back. We got front page news and then comedian Gary Owen will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page. Start off with the super bowl last night. 29:13. Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks and the running back, Kenneth Walker iii. He was named MVP of the Super Bowl.

[DJ Envy]

He was, he had like what, 150 yards rushing? Yeah. No touchdowns though. But yeah, he was balling. He looked, he looked just like DJ Head. Yeah, he was. Damn, DJ Head gonna win mvp.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's stupid. What's up, Mimi?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good morning. MV Josh Charlamagne. How y' all doing this morning?

[DJ Envy]

Peace. Mimi.

[Caller or Guest]

Good morning.

[Angela Yee]

Good morning.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So we are just now days away from a key deadline for Congress to fund the Department of homeland security past February 13th. And lawmakers, they remain at a standstill. So Republicans and Democrats, they are locked in a standoff over immigration enforcement reforms as time is running short. So last week, Congress, they ended a partial government shutdown, passing a broader funding package to keep most federal agents agencies open through September. But Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Customs and Border Protection, it was funded only temporarily. And that short term deal, it expires on Friday. Now, Senate Democrats, they have submitted legislation outlining their proposed reforms. Now, their plan would include, it would require agents to show identification, use body cameras, limit the use of masks, and also require those judicial warrants before entering a private property and a stronger verification before detaining someone on immigration grounds. So yesterday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, he was asked now where all of this stands. Let's listen to what he had to say.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Unfortunately, we haven't heard back from the White House or Mike Johnson or Speaker or Leader Thune in terms of the.

[Gary Owen]

Demands that we've put on the table.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Common sense Demands on behalf of the American people. And so in our view, the ball.

[Gary Owen]

Is in the court right now of the Republicans.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Either they're going to agree to dramatically reform the way in which ICE and other immigration enforcement agencies are conducting themselves so that they're behaving like every other law enforcement agency in the country, or.

[DJ Envy]

They'Re making the explicit decision to shut.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Down the Coast Guard, shut down FEMA and shut down tsa. And that would be very unfortunate.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So all of that happening, we'll see by Friday. Republicans say some of those demands are unrealistic, specifically the judicial warrants. They do not want to agree on that. They want to continue to go with those administrative warrants that they are concerned continuing to use right now. And as that Friday deadline approaches, the question just remains whether they'll make a deal on that.

[DJ Envy]

You know, Republicans, that, that would be, that would actually be a big broad way for Republicans to show the American people that they care about reforming ICE and, and to show that they still give a damn about the Constitution, especially in regards to the, the warrants.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, it would be. But what will happen? Because ICE was front loaded. It was, you know, through the big beautiful bill mostly, if it doesn't reach a government, if it doesn't reach an agreement, fema, tsa, Coast Guard, all those other agencies will, will suffer because you know, ICE has money from here to kingdom come for the Next, what, like 10 years or something? Five years. So we'll see. And a warning for parents this morning after a tragic development in the case of a missing 17 year old girl. So authorities, they have confirmed that human remains were found in Wayne National Force in Ohio and they are of Haley Busby. She was a teenager from Indiana who had been missing since early January. So according to investigators, Haley is believed to have met a 39 year old man through an online gaming platform and she left her home voluntarily to meet him. Let's listen to what authorities had to say.

[Gary Owen]

On January 6, we responded to the Busby residents.

[DJ Envy]

Her parents had reported that she had left overnight.

[Gary Owen]

Throughout the investigation we were able to identify an unknown vehicle, vehicle that had been in Haley's neighborhood the night she had gone missing. Using technology, our detectives identified Thomas as a suspect she had left with. We made contact with him in Ohio.

[DJ Envy]

And he admitted to picking Haley up at her home.

[Gary Owen]

He told us that he dropped her off on the side of the road in western Ohio. However, through continued investigations, his initial story was determined to be untrue.

[DJ Envy]

Man.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, it's really sad that man, he's now facing Charges including pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor, tampering with evidence. He's in jail on a $1.5 million bond. But officials, they are warning parents that this is a painful reminder that the young risk that people are facing online, especially when connecting minors with adults on those gaming and social platforms, you really have to monitor what your children are doing, who they're leaving with, who they're meeting, what's happening and all those things.

[DJ Envy]

So absolutely, he's charged with murder too, right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Not yet.

[Gary Owen]

Really?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Not yet. They officials say that he just led the FBI to her body. An autopsy has been confir that it was her. And so they just have to finish the, finish the investigation and then I'm sure those charges will be coming anyway.

[DJ Envy]

Now, yeah, you got to put guys like that in the taffy puller, man. Take him to Willy Wonka's factory and put him in the taffy puller and scratch him all the way out till he pops.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, for sure. And as we've been talking this morning about the biggest night in sports, well, it quickly became a political moment with dueling halftime shows and a last minute change from Turning Point usa. So shortly before kickoff off, the conservative group announced that it would not stream its all American halftime show on X due to license concerns restrictions. So viewers, they were redirected to YouTube instead. And that alternate show featuring Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert and others, it drew in about 6 million viewers. But that's still a fraction of the viewers of the numbers that Bad Bunny has drawn in. Preliminary numbers this morning show it roughly between 133 and 135 million. But those are still early numbers. And speaking of viewers, President Trump, who said he was not going to watch, apparently tuned in because he weighed in on social media calling it the worst halftime show ever. He criticized the performance for being in Spanish and said viewers, quote, don't understand a word of it.

[DJ Envy]

So I don't, like I keep saying all morning, I don't have to know the language to notify, you know what I'm saying? And I mean, listen, we hear Donald Trump talk sometime and we don't even know if you understand English, you know what I'm saying? So what are we talking about here? Like, like, who cares? And I wouldn't even have known the Kid Rock thing happened if you hadn't told me just now. Me? Yeah, yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I had no clue because it wasn't widely publicized. And then especially with it not being on X and the, the main super bowl was, was on X. But I Guess something happened with the licensing and they couldn't get it together. So they were redirecting people to YouTube at the very last moment. And I also wanted to say that today is called Super Sick Day. Have you guys heard of this?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

No, we didn't have to come in.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's always the Monday after Super Bowl Sunday. So it's the year, it's the Monday where most people call in sick because they, they got drunk on Super Bowl. They can't, they forgot something and they just can't make it to work. So 200, excuse me, 26.2 million people will miss work because of super bowl fever. More than 13, they plan to take a pre approved day off. About 3 million. So they will call out sick. And nearly 5 million people said that they will just show up, show up.

[Nissan Campaign Voiceover]

Late, but it happens.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

So how many, how many people don't have a job tomorrow?

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's a good question.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because that's crazy because you can't take a sick though, right?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

But that, but everybody on the same day and it's that and it's an actual holiday. She's saying it's Super Sick Day.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Happens every Monday.

[DJ Envy]

It should be National Fart Day because the super bowl food definitely make you fart. Because I woke up this morning, you know, I don't fart in my clothes. So I was in the bathroom getting ready, you know, and I was naked and I was letting it loose because the nachos, the meatballs, the chicken wings, a lot of guacamole. And I don't eat cheese. I eat vegan cheese. I must have ate too much cheese last night. So I was letting it go this morning.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Maybe that's why people aren't coming in. They have too much to eat.

[DJ Envy]

That's true.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Eating all them plants.

[DJ Envy]

That's true.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And if you like me and don't fart in your clothes, you're not probably not gonna go to work.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Definitely fart in your clothes.

[DJ Envy]

I don't fart in my clothes.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yes, you do.

[DJ Envy]

No, I don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think you're the only person I ever heard say that in life.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Hard feelings to.

[Gary Owen]

I just felt like saying it. I don't know. Know our feelings, bro.

[DJ Envy]

To who, though? Like, are you insulting anybody?

[Gary Owen]

Just Earth. It's a cancel culture. Honestly, before it happens.

[DJ Envy]

There's no such thing as cancel culture.

[Gary Owen]

They try. Yeah, they're still trying.

[DJ Envy]

I think it's more outrage culture. People get mad on social media and then, you know, everybody moves on to something else.

[Angela Yee]

But when I tried to cancel you, huh? When did they Try to. I haven't seen you try to.

[Gary Owen]

Oh yeah, they did. Special needs came after me hardcore.

[DJ Envy]

The Special Olympics.

[Gary Owen]

Oh yeah.

[Angela Yee]

I'm not in that community.

[DJ Envy]

What happened?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How they come.

[Gary Owen]

I got a. I. It's so funny. I got a special needs cousin.

[DJ Envy]

Did y. What she just said?

[Gary Owen]

Yeah, no, I know.

[Caller or Guest]

I saw it.

[Gary Owen]

I caught it.

[DJ Envy]

What?

[Gary Owen]

I caught it.

[DJ Envy]

Part of that community.

[Angela Yee]

I don't see it. That didn't come across my timeline.

[Caller or Guest]

That was.

[Gary Owen]

Was a while. I mean, you can Google it. It's on there. Cuz I. They flew me to D.C. i had to speak with all these special needs people. It was wild.

[Caller or Guest]

Oh my God.

[Gary Owen]

They were trying to tell me how to tell my jokes. I was like, you're kidding me right now, right?

[DJ Envy]

Oh, wow.

[Caller or Guest]

Oh, so.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

So for them to understand. They want you to sell a certain way for them to understand, right?

[DJ Envy]

No, they.

[Gary Owen]

I did a joke in 2013 in my special.

[DJ Envy]

Stand up and do it.

[Gary Owen]

Well, it's cuz I said the R word is what the really was. Oh, got that word back. They said I, I said in my special. But in my special I use it as a description, not a put down. Like I got a cousin Tina.

[Caller or Guest]

She's.

[Gary Owen]

I got a cousin Joey.

[DJ Envy]

He's tall. It wasn't a put down.

[Gary Owen]

I was putting context to the joke.

[DJ Envy]

Also the word is in the dictionary. That's what I want to see. Like it's an actual word.

[Gary Owen]

It's not. Well, here's what got me. The special come out in 2013 and it wasn't. Especially these people. They're advocates that came after me, okay? They came after me in 2016. I was like, and you're calling them slow. The special was out for three years. Like why would you get mad at.

[DJ Envy]

Something that had been out for three years?

[Gary Owen]

But they're slow, okay? That made no sense. Like they were like, don't say the joke anymore. I go, the joke's been there. What are you talking about right now?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh my gosh.

[Gary Owen]

And they. And they. I was the perfect level of celebrity to come after because I wasn't big enough that I could say F off, but I was big enough that they can get some press behind it.

[Caller or Guest]

Gotcha.

[DJ Envy]

Right?

[Gary Owen]

And the only reason we met with them is because I had the reality show at the time. They were calling like the advertisers basically, like, well, we won't advertise on a show and stuff like that. So that's, that's why I met with them. And then my publicist, this created some fake Apology that they read.

[DJ Envy]

I'm glad you brought that up cuz I told Jeff the other day, I said, you going to a lunch? Yeah, she had said something. I'm not. She said. I said she going to a lunch.

[Caller or Guest]

Shut up.

[DJ Envy]

No, I don't remember.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

No, I didn't say anything about them.

[DJ Envy]

Cuz that can happen. You can end up at a lunch apologizing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You went to a lunch?

[Gary Owen]

I was at a. It wasn't a lunch. It was like. It was weird cuz it was like they put every, every level of. Of of special needs in the room. They had, but they had a black guy, a black girl, a white guy, a white girl, and it was all the gamuts. The one that looked like it, the one that didn't look like was a lot.

[DJ Envy]

What were you supposed to learn?

[Gary Owen]

I have no idea. What got me was I'm not getting imitate him, but when he tried to tell me how to tell my joke.

[DJ Envy]

I went, oh, special needs person tried to tell you?

[Gary Owen]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's so bad. You just describe it all. They said, I go.

[Caller or Guest]

I just.

[Gary Owen]

I go. Then you guys got to tell me what's funny. Because if I have a cousin and she does something funny, how am I supposed to address it?

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

And just.

[Gary Owen]

No, I said I can't.

[DJ Envy]

I can't do it.

[Gary Owen]

I can't go there. It was, it was a lot. And I'm sitting here looking like this. If you like me telling LeBron how to shoot a jumper.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Angela Yee]

That was years ago.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Right?

[Gary Owen]

Ten years ago.

[Caller or Guest]

So.

[Angela Yee]

But that's. So that's the last time you was keen to.

[Gary Owen]

They tried to cancel me.

[Caller or Guest]

Okay. Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

So then you're good. You keep. You said it like it was like recent and stuff. Oh.

[Gary Owen]

I mean we just did the 2016, 2026 challenge.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Gary Owen]

I remember. Brought it back. But it feels good to be here during Black History Month.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Oh, why?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Gary Owen]

It just feels right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what are you doing? What are you doing for Black History Month?

[Gary Owen]

Just cranking out more mixed babies.

[DJ Envy]

You've been getting back in the community for a long time.

[Gary Owen]

A lot.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, you have. You have.

[Gary Owen]

Yeah, know you have.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

I know.

[DJ Envy]

What you on number two with the new girl?

[Gary Owen]

We had twins.

[DJ Envy]

Oh yeah.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Twins.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Caller or Guest]

Damn.

[DJ Envy]

That's what it was.

[Gary Owen]

Yes, it was two for one.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[Angela Yee]

Is she pregnant again?

[Gary Owen]

No.

[Angela Yee]

Okay. You said. Cuz you said cranking out more mix baby. I didn't know.

[Caller or Guest]

2.

[Angela Yee]

I didn't know if you meant you. She was expecting I didn't.

[Gary Owen]

Oh, we might try again. I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

You think maturity makes comp. Comedians sharper or more careful? Cuz like you. Like you said, you got a fresh new set of twins. And I was having this conversation with a comedian friend of the day, and they was like, nah, man, I got mouths of feet. So. Whoa.

[Gary Owen]

Sound like Rip Michaels right there. Michaels, exactly.

[DJ Envy]

Like he was saying that. Saying that he got to be more careful. So what do you think?

[Gary Owen]

I think whatever you say, you just. There's. There could be repercussions that come with it. I think comedians should be able to say what they want. But just know if you say that, there could be repercussions. I think just like we're talking about the special needs, the problem is when people go to a show, if they. If they like, if they have a special needs cousin or son, they think you're talking directly to them.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Gary Owen]

We're not.

[DJ Envy]

We don't know you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Gotcha.

[Gary Owen]

You know this. The trans community is a big thing now too. Like, we don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shut up.

[Caller or Guest]

Sorry.

[Angela Yee]

It's crazy.

[Gary Owen]

Happening. What was that?

[Caller or Guest]

What was that?

[DJ Envy]

Shut up.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

I was not expecting what he said.

[DJ Envy]

What was that, man?

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Do you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do you stay away from any jokes concerning your ex. Your ex wife?

[Gary Owen]

I. And honestly, it doesn't really come up anymore. It's. It's so in the past.

[Caller or Guest]

Right?

[Gary Owen]

Yeah, that was good.

[Caller or Guest]

Good.

[Gary Owen]

But that's off the cuff. That's not written jokes.

[Caller or Guest]

Okay.

[Gary Owen]

So obviously people yell stuff every now and then you address it.

[DJ Envy]

But there's never.

[Gary Owen]

Here's the thing. There's never malicious intent. Yeah. It's just a joke.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

But that was funny. And did you really think Africa was a country?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Gary Owen]

Yeah. Yeah. I messed up.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Crazy.

[Gary Owen]

It was a bit that these girls were diplomats from Africa because I have a. I have a very diverse fan base.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It wasn't real.

[Caller or Guest]

No.

[Gary Owen]

They were just sitting in the front.

[Caller or Guest]

Okay.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yeah.

[Caller or Guest]

And they.

[Gary Owen]

I said, what do you do? And they said, we're diplomats from Africa. And I said something like, oh, the country. It's like it's a continent. I go, okay, you got me.

[Caller or Guest]

Right?

[Gary Owen]

I really thought it was the country.

[DJ Envy]

You built a whole career without Netflix. So do you feel like that proves you don't need them, or does it still feel like that missing infinity stone? Like, I need that. I don't need it.

[Gary Owen]

It does feel like a birthday party I wasn't invited to.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Gary Owen]

Like, I was in. Like you're in elementary school and all you. Your. Your friends got invited and you're just like, dang, I'm not invited.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but I. Don't you feel that way about Diddy parties?

[Gary Owen]

No, I went to some D parties. Nightclubs. Never the house.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Gary Owen]

Yeah, no, I never felt that way.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And they still haven't told you why they don't want your special on Netflix? Was there a reason? Did you have a conversation?

[Gary Owen]

Does it matter?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Gary Owen]

They're going to lie to you.

[DJ Envy]

No. Cuz I'll tell you.

[Gary Owen]

But I'll put it like this one time, Netflix told me they. They couldn't do the special because they. Their money was out. They had spent all their money on specials that year. But then Matt Rife got one and I went. He deserved it, though. He. Tickets went through the roof. He'd be stupid not to give him one, right?

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Gary Owen]

This is a knock on him, but I was like, I thought the money ran out.

[DJ Envy]

What if they paid him before you heard the announcement?

[Gary Owen]

No, this all just happened. I talked to his people. Eric Griffin does most of his directs, most of it. He's a comedian. So I talk to Eric all the time. So I just ask him.

[Caller or Guest]

So.

[Gary Owen]

So that was a BS answer. Now Hulu's getting in the standup space. Right? Hulu said. When we submitted for Hulu, they said we're going off Netflix analytics. So we're like, go. Bur went over to Hulu and stuff like that. So they're like, if you don't have a Netflix special, we don't know what numbers he's bringing to the table. Hulu don't want you. But I believe just got a Hulu special. He never had a special.

[DJ Envy]

Damn.

[Gary Owen]

So that. So it doesn't matter.

[Caller or Guest]

The reason.

[Gary Owen]

They're just going to B.S. you and you're going to drive yourself crazy.

[DJ Envy]

So.

[Gary Owen]

So just do it on your own.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

So do you believe that you're whiteballed in some way?

[Gary Owen]

Could be white ball.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. No, because that's.

[Gary Owen]

That's.

[Caller or Guest]

It doesn't. That's the thing.

[Gary Owen]

It doesn't matter at this point. The YouTube's fine. Facebook's where all the people don't realize Facebook's work. I built a big part of my fan base. That's where I got the most followers, the most interaction. Yeah, I got one video. It's got like 80 million.

[DJ Envy]

80 million.

[Gary Owen]

And so.

[DJ Envy]

And it was.

[Gary Owen]

It was in Baltimore at the Comedy Factory.

[Caller or Guest]

It was.

[Gary Owen]

I imitated like four people at the same time. And I didn't. I forgot about it. We did in February last year and we didn't post it till July. And I remember my, the guy does my videos. He was like, yo, I think we got something here. I was really. He goes, yeah, it's like you're imitating four people at the same time. He goes, but it's like seamless, but in the moment you don't realize it. You're just going on with your set.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Right.

[Gary Owen]

But then when it aired, when we posted it, it aired it. It's rare. You get a clip that hits on every platform. It hit on YouTube, it hit on Twitter, it hit on Instagram, it hit on Tick Tock. I was like, damn, this thing hit everywhere. And then we did the numbers and we're like, dude, we're like 80 million right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Gary Owen]

On the three minute clip.

[DJ Envy]

So listen, when these companies give you like, no, do they give you like polite no's or like, like, you know, we love you, just not right now, Gary.

[Gary Owen]

Or I don't know, I just hear it from my agent or manager.

[Julian Edelman]

Damn.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

I don't hear it from meetings here.

[Gary Owen]

Yeah, I'm not talking to them. But they don't really, they don't really give a response. There's no like offer or anything. So. But it's, it's fine now. I just go to YouTube.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

I know. Baltimore, D.C. love.

[DJ Envy]

You don't sound like, you know, you don't sound like it's fine guy. Yeah, you don't say that confidently. I don't know.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

I think he actually is happy cuz he still.

[Nissan Campaign Voiceover]

Cuz he.

[DJ Envy]

I've heard people talk about YouTube and Facebook with confidence. Like you don't say it with confidence. Confidence.

[Gary Owen]

I thought he did my bad restart over.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Watch some comedian specials on Netflix.

[Gary Owen]

Oh, there's a couple.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you. And I know you probably said they're trash and like, I would have killed it. Does that, does that bother you at all?

[Gary Owen]

No, not really.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Without saying names, of course.

[Gary Owen]

Not really. We can say. I mean, one of them came up here and was angry.

[Caller or Guest]

[Gary Owen]

I completely agree with that.

[Julian Edelman]

They also have Daisy ranch dip. I love Ranch.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Yeah, that's great.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What will you host first? Maybe moving night night, game night stories that make us laugh and spades tournaments that make us cry. First you need to get movers and new furniture. And what about party favors? Will there be a theme?

Of course it's thing because you're always doing the most.

[DJ Envy]

Have there been any updates in your robbery case?

[Gary Owen]

No, that's the bad part. The cops called, want me to do, like, a commercial for him. I said, well, find the guys that rob on me first, and then I can validate the Missouri City Texas police Department.

[DJ Envy]

They have to do a commercial. They, like, you do, like, ad.

[Gary Owen]

What do you call it?

[DJ Envy]

Ads. Ads and stuff.

[Caller or Guest]

Like, hey.

[Gary Owen]

[Caller or Guest]

Damn.

[DJ Envy]

So he might.

[Gary Owen]

[Gary Owen]

Closed my bank of America account years ago. I didn't know what I had in there, so I just went to go, I'm gonna shut it all down. Why? And I drove by bank of America. It was literally spur of the moment. Went in, how much do I got? And then. Yeah, and then the lady was like, you want a cashier's check? You want cash? I go, whatever.

[DJ Envy]

[Gary Owen]

Because they was. They had me in there filling all this paperwork. I just want to get out of here. They gave me cash. So the guy followed me to the gym and took it.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, you got set up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He left the cash.

[DJ Envy]

Somebody from the bank told.

[Gary Owen]

But I need to. But they call it jugging in Texas. Yeah, they call it jugging. Like, guys literally will wait and see who's leaving the bank look like. I must have looked like an easy mark, clearly. White guy, happy.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Biker shorts on the.

[DJ Envy]

Way to the gym.

[Caller or Guest]

All right.

[Gary Owen]

Bad bully. I. I love them. I was. I was so. And I didn't take it to the gym, cuz I forgot the gym lockers are more easy to break into than the car.

[DJ Envy]

Damn, cuz.

[Gary Owen]

My car is. It's a good car. They. Man, he broke all the. Trying to get in all the windows. Finally gotten one. And they had a security guard on the ground. Like, where were you, bro.

[DJ Envy]

And you had another deceit or something?

[Caller or Guest]

Something.

[Gary Owen]

I had it in the. The glove. On the middle glove console.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

And then you say when you came out the gym, the security guy was like, yeah, they just broken your.

[Gary Owen]

Yeah, got you, man. I like what? Yeah, got you. Not only was he sitting there, he was sitting like this. Yeah, they got you, man. He was off the golf cart. I was like this, bro. Where were you?

[DJ Envy]

Wasn't it all on video?

[Gary Owen]

They got the video, right? Yeah. It clearly was a rent a car. And he took the plates off. This guy was a pro row took the plates off. They don't have plates. But they. They said literally he came, he tried to get in, two windows, couldn't get in, looked, got back in his car, pulled to another spot in the parking lot.

[Caller or Guest]

Keep on.

[Gary Owen]

The security guard still hadn't seen him. All right, I'm gonna go for a second round. Got it the second time. So it wasn't like he went. They say he went in, couldn't get in your windows.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Took a break.

[Gary Owen]

Took a break. Came back, Starbucks came back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's definitely somebody from the bank, because there's no way they would have known what you. You had.

[DJ Envy]

That's what I'm saying.

[Gary Owen]

I think it was somebody back there.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Gary Owen]

And jugging.

[Caller or Guest]

They. They.

[Gary Owen]

They tried to explain it to me. And people that listen to your show in Texas will know jugging is a whole racket out there. Yeah, they literally sell outside the bank. They wait, they see who's leaving, they'll follow you.

[DJ Envy]

So it.

[Gary Owen]

In a way, I'm glad it happened how it happened, because I didn't go home. If I went home, that have been worse. So at least I went to the. The gym.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you go back to the Bacons and start thinking, like, could it be you could.

[Gary Owen]

I don't know. I don't want to say.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know.

[Gary Owen]

I don't want to stereotype people. Oh, what month is it?

[DJ Envy]

Hey, yo, feelings, cuz? You're like, I'm an ally.

[Caller or Guest]

Huh?

[DJ Envy]

Did it hurt your feelings, cuz you're like, I'm an ally.

[DJ Envy]

No, you started with her.

[Gary Owen]

But okay, you a comedian. Gotta let the joke rise.

[DJ Envy]

That that is.

[Gary Owen]

Don't cut it off at the beginning because my plan was to go in on everybody. And I strategically said money first because I knew it would draw a rise out of you. But if you listen to the whole interview, you will know I went on Everybody, Yo.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Earthquakes was good.

[Gary Owen]

Awful garbage.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

It was short, but it was really.

[DJ Envy]

The latest with Lauren on the Breakfast Club. LL Cool B.

[Angela Yee]

Okay, guys. So last week we had talked about Little John's son, Nathan Smith, also known as DJ Slade. He was reported missing last Tuesday. But over the weekend, police found a body, which they then confirmed was his, in a pond in the area where he was reported missing.

[DJ Envy]

Horrible.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, my God. Yes. So Little John made a statement on behalf of him and Nathan's mom. Little John says, I'm extremely heartbroken for the tragic loss of our son, Nathan Smith. His mother, Nicole Smith, and I are devastated. Nathan was the kindest human being you would ever meet. He was immensely caring, thoughtful, polite, passionate, and warm hearted. He loved his family and his friends and life to the fullest. He Was amazingly talented. A music producer, an artist, an engineer, and a graduate of nyu. We love Nathan with all of our hearts and are incredibly proud of him. He was loved and appreciated in our last times together. We are comforted in knowing that we expect express the very sentiment to him.

[DJ Envy]

I'm surprised Little John gave y' all any words.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, yeah. He had posted this to his Instagram, like, as the story was breaking. I don't know how that all went, but, like, where it was breaking first. But I saw him post this to his Instagram and Nathan was 27 years old. Now, Little John has been since this news broke. Lil John has been posting just different tributes, you know, to his son. And one of the things that he posted was some music that Nathan Young Slade created. He said that Slade released this when he graduated from college. He was so happy to express his art and do it himself. I was so proud of him for doing it all on his own. He posted this a couple times. So I think it's only right that we take a listen to the song. It's called Move Through Fire. Let's take a listen. Listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Rest in peace to that young man. Condolences to his family. Man.

[Angela Yee]

I saw, you know, over the. The super bowl weekend that they. They had a camera, had ran into E40 who, you know, was also. Everybody's been devastated, but E40 was talking about the fact that they were just all together, so it caught so many people off guard. Let's take a listen to E40.

[DJ Envy]

Our brother, little John, man.

[Gary Owen]

Yeah, man, I see. My condolence to Little Man.

[DJ Envy]

Nephew, Nephew. Man, we were just on family for you together.

[Gary Owen]

All of us. Me, Little John, his son Shorty.

[DJ Envy]

Cut and too short, man, like, a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Few months back, you guys made.

[Gary Owen]

Made history. You guys made history together. I know you have so much love for their family.

[DJ Envy]

Any. Any message to. I just send my love and support.

[Gary Owen]

I mean, Little John, anything you need that I can provide, I'm here for you.

[DJ Envy]

I love you and you know that, brother.

[Gary Owen]

And we're gonna miss nephew.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. So, yeah, sending a rest in peace to Nathan. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Rest in peace to Nathan. Man, recipes. That's sad. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. You know, that's your child. Even when you see the picture pictures that Little John is posting him laying in the. You know, in the bed with his son laying on his chest. Yeah. And I wonder if, you know, when you hear like, terrible news like that, like, you know, the. The young man went running out the house and he goes missing. Do you just think the. You prepare yourself for the worst already?

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

You know, you hope for the best.

[Gary Owen]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

But do you prepare yourself for the worst as well? So when the worst happens, that's why, you know, you're ready to say something because you're already prepared for.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I guess people handle things differently. I don't think I would pray for the worst or, you know, I would just think.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't say pray for the worst.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Expect for the worst. I think I'd be optimistic and hope that it all comes out good no matter what happens.

[Gary Owen]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I mean? Even if somebody has the worst disease or the worst thing happening, you pray for a miracle, a life.

[DJ Envy]

No, I'm talking about when somebody goes missing. Yes. You want optimism and you hope that they come back. But do you prepare yourself for the worst just in case? Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

I think it's.

[DJ Envy]

Especially after dating.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

How can you sit with it every. I imagine every minute, every moment you know, leading up to the news that you get. It's like, it. It's scary. You're worried, you know, you don't know.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

And I think also, too, because, I mean, this is so. Little John is also. I feel like in the celebrity world, celebrities don't get the chance to do what Envy's talking about, where you're just kind of, like, in it, and you don't want to deal with anybody. You don't. Because I think a part of it as well is, like, you don't want anybody controlling a narrative around something. And as, you know, sentimental as this, because the statement came so fast, I didn't even reach out because I'm like, that is insane.

[DJ Envy]

Like, I would hope you would.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

No, I didn't. No. But I. But when I saw the statement, I was surprised. I'm like, oh, that happened so fast. Like, it was within, like, minutes after the news was breaking.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And also, he probably. He probably released a statement so nobody else bothers him.

[Angela Yee]

Of course, that's what I'm dealing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, he wants to control now. I could just handle my grief.

[Angela Yee]

Well, rest in peace to Nathan. D.J. young, Slade. And there's a lot of interviews out there as well, too. I was doing like. Like a, you know, looking at different interviews and things, trying to, you know, just get a better picture of, like, who he was.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

And I was watching this one interview he was talking about, like, just his relationship with Lil John and how much they loved each other. And I just. I can't imagine. But please go take a listen to that song. It's called Move through the Fire. Little John has it posted on his Instagram as well, but you can find it on all DSPs.

[DJ Envy]

They didn't say how you passed, right?

[Angela Yee]

No, there's. There. The medical examiner has not released information on his cause of or manner of death. Currently. Currently.

[DJ Envy]

Send the healing energy to Little John and his family. Man, that's horribly.

[Angela Yee]

Yes. Now, in the next latest, we are going to get into some other music things, but we'll talk about that when we get there. I'll catch you guys next hour.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, Charlotte. Man, who you giving that donkey too?

[DJ Envy]

Man 4 After the hour. I need Drake May, quarterback for the New England Patriots to come to the front of the congregation. I would like to have a word with him. Hey, New England Patriots fans, if you want to walk with him, hold his hand, you can come with him as well. Well, okay.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

He don't like no damn Drake, huh?

[Caller or Guest]

Nope.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jesus sure don't.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

All right.

[Angela Yee]

So they thought Drake was going to be at the Super Bowl?

[DJ Envy]

No, I didn't say I thought that for a minute. A lot of people thought. You don't even pay attention to the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

News I break with Bad Bunny.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, yeah. You don't pay attention to nothing I do. Charlemagne Dane. That's crazy. But yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, well, we'll get to that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

The Hee Haw again. It's time for Donkey of the Day.

[Gary Owen]

I ain't trying to be donkey today no more.

[DJ Envy]

They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things called Donkey of the Day. And it really caught me off guard.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Damn, Charlemagne. Who got the donkey of the day today?

[DJ Envy]

Well, just hilarious. Donkey Today for Monday, February 9th goes to NFL quarterback Drake May. Okay. Why? Because I want to piss off New England Patriots fans this morning. Okay. See, all year we had to hear about Drake. Drake May. Drake. Hey. Okay. He had a great second season in the NFL. 4394 passing yards, 31 touchdowns, eight interceptions. Quarterback ranking 77.1. The Patriots were 4 and 13 a year ago. This year they went 14 3. And he led the Patriots to a Super bowl in his second year. Drop one of clues bombs for that. Okay, I'm not a full time hater, all right? Just part time. All right? As a Dallas Cowboy fan, it hurt me to say that the Patriots are probably America's team. They are literally called the Patriots and they win. They go to super bowl bowls. My Cowboys do not. Okay, so the moniker America's team probably should be for them. But F all that. All right, I'm giving Drake made donkey today because after having a season where he fell one vote short of winning the NFL MVP award, one vote short. He got in the playoffs and laid an egg, okay? He had a historically bad playoff run. All right? I've been saying this to all the Patriots fans I know for weeks. They be so arrogant in the group chats. They've been so arrogant in conversations the last few weeks telling me things like, Drake May is elite. I'm like, are we watching the same games? The New England Patriots defense carried them to the Super Bowl. Drake Maze. He struggled all playoffs. Struggled in the first three rounds. The way he was playing was simply not sustainable. Let's go to ABC 10 Boston for the report, please.

[Gary Owen]

Brutal. Absolutely brutal. This one wasn't even close. And there's really no way to sugarcoat this. I mean, the Seahawks defense, defense absolutely dominated the Patriots offense. Second year quarterback Drake May, he looked like a second year quarterback out there. He was under attack from the get go.

[Caller or Guest]

How about this?

[Gary Owen]

Sacked six times in this game. Three turnovers and one of them went for a touchdown. Now, you do have to give the Patriots defense a ton of credit. Seattle to nine points at halftime. They kept them in this for a long time. But when you punt on the first eight drives and then have a turnover on the ninth drive.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Gary Owen]

You have no chance after that. My goodness.

[DJ Envy]

Let me spell it out for you. Yesterday in the Super Bowl, Drake May had 60 yards and no touchdowns in the first three quarters. Okay? The Seattle Seahawks was Kendrick Lamar and the New England Patriots was OVO and Drake. Okay? And not surprising because in the first three playoff games, he threw four touchdowns, had two interceptions, and he was sacked 15 times. So it was no surprise. Surprised that yesterday, for three quarters, he threw no touchdowns and only 60 yards passing. Not to mention he got sacked six times yesterday. So that's 21 sacks taken in the postseason, which, by the way, is a record, okay? Most sacks taken in a single postseason in the super bowl era. All I saw all postseason was turnovers, sacks, and missed throws. But every week, y' all gave Drake made a glory like he was God. Okay? It feels so good to see it all finally catch up to him. And now you all, and by you all, I mean sports reporters, quarters can have some honest conversations about Drake May. And you need to have some honest conversations about how this was historically, okay, one of the worst postseasons ever for a quarterback, especially for someone who was one vote away from an MVP conversation, okay? Treat Drake May treat Drake May the same way you would treat Lamar Jackson, okay? Because if Drake May would have found a way to win that game in the fourth quarter, even with his historically bad postseason and historically bad super bowl game yesterday, y' all would have found a way to make him Tom Brady. Y' all were actually on ESPN comparing Mike Vrabel, Vrabble, Vrabel, Rabel, and Drake May to Belichick and Brady. Okay? And Mike and Drake haven't won one super bowl yet. How do you get compared to a duo that won six and went to nine and you haven't won one and only been to one? This era, we live in a such prison of the moment. But this is what needs to be said on sports shows all day today. Drake May sucked in the playoffs. He sucked in the Super Bowl. If it wasn't for the New England. If it wasn't for New England's defense, they would have made it to the Super Bowl. Okay? Drake May set an NFL record by taking 21 sacks in the playoffs. He also completed just 58.3% of his passes after leading the NFL with a 72% completion rate. In the regular season, Drake made through six touchdowns and four interceptions while fumbling seven times, losing four. He also averaged only 207 passing yards per game, down from 258.5 during the regular season. Not to mention attention. Aubrey Graham, commonly known as Drake, bet $1 million on the Patriots winning the Super Bowl. And I guarantee you he only did it because him and Drake May share the same name. I just want all sports reporters to be honest about what we saw with Drake May. Don't whitewash it. Don't sugarcoat it. Don't act like we didn't see what we all saw. We not gonna treat this like Khaled in a way. Weight loss ad. Okay? We see Khaled in these weight loss ads, and we also see Khaled not losing a goddamn pound. But we act like we don't see these things. We're not gonna do that with Drake. May, please give. Drake made a sweet sound to the Hamiltones.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. Of the day.

[Caller or Guest]

He ha.

[DJ Envy]

Let me tell you something about New York City. Here in New York City, boy. Boy, they hate New England Patriots. I walked out the park. I got into the parking lot this morning. I'm like, I said, what's up to the parking tenants? They said, it's a good day. The Patriots lost.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, wow.

[DJ Envy]

Came into the building due to the front desk. Great day, yo. Patriots Lost. They, they. Yo, they really hold a grudge.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Oh, damn. So this is serious.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, yeah.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Oh, wow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. I was gonna say this is only a second year playing in the NFL, but I don't care. Care not.

[DJ Envy]

Damn.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Oh, this only your second year.

[DJ Envy]

Always ready to defend the Drake. That's just your go to though. That's just your default setting as a beige waffle colored negro. Just ready to defend the Drake.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Oh, God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. Now let's open up the phone lines. 800. Why you looking at me like that?

[DJ Envy]

Disgusting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

800.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, I just can't get over you sometime.

[Caller or Guest]

What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Let's talk super bowl performance. Halftime performance. What were your thoughts? What were your thoughts?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Did you watch was for his people?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you watch it up?

[Caller or Guest]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, that is the question. 800-585-1051.

[DJ Envy]

I don't need to know the language to know the vibes. And just from a production standpoint, it was visually appealing to my eyes.

[Angela Yee]

It was crazy.

[DJ Envy]

I did not have to understand the language. Now do I want to know some of the language? Yes, of course. Do I want to know what some of the messaging was? Absolutely. But that's, that's when you go have conversations with Puerto Ricans and they tell you about all of the things that were there that you didn't know was there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A lot of people don't feel that way. A lot of people feel like, you know, 14% of the people speak Spanish and they would have loved to know what he was saying.

[DJ Envy]

I love the vibe.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love the visual. The only thing I like. Charlamagne said I would have loved to know the message because I'm sure there was a strong message in it. And I just didn't know during that time, I didn't know if I wanted to stand up for him, if I wanted to dance.

[DJ Envy]

Because you don't know when.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yes, he did his nanny.

[DJ Envy]

Cuz when you bring Ricky Martin out there, Lady Gaga and you know he might be saying if you gay, make some noise and you might be and don't even know what the hell going on.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yes, because it was one little gay part. She seen the two guys.

[Caller or Guest]

They got.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To that clip right away. It was like a clip body rolling on the J.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

A little bit of gay in there. Yeah, right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right. So that's the question.

[DJ Envy]

The Latino population in the United states is like 70 million people. Everything is don't have to be for everybody. Like you. I don't understand why we put ourselves in such boxes on purpose. Like when we say things like, you know, if you don't speak Spanish or you. You know, the. The. The halftime performance was pointless.

[Caller or Guest]

To who?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[DJ Envy]

Put yourself in that box.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

That is crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's open up the phone lines and discuss 800-585-1051. I thought it was a dope show. I would have just love to see Cardi B. And him do I like it like that. I would. That was just my personal dancing. I would love to see like it like that.

[DJ Envy]

Cardi B and Jessica Auburn and Pedro Pascal just out there dancing, minding their business.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

They was getting it, too. Yeah, it was. It was like. It looked like a. Like a genuine vibe.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, it was a vibe. Definitely a vibe. Well, let's open up the phone lines. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Gary Owen]

It's topic time.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

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

[Gary Owen]

With the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the breakfast club. Lon LaRosa is here as well. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about the super bowl. Last night, Bad Bunny performed at the halftime show, and we needed. What are your thoughts? I thought it was dope. I. I thought the vibe was great. I thought visually it was. It was. It was just dope. But what they did, from him going on to the. The top of the. I would say call it a bodega, but whatever that. That restaurant was or that spot was. And him falling in between and him coming out and just seeing everything from the Ices to, you know, them playing dominoes to, you know, even the marriage and. And. And them dancing salsa or whatever the.

[DJ Envy]

The.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know, bachata. What is. Whatever it's called. I'm not Spanish.

[Caller or Guest]

Salsa.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Bachata. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

That's all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was just dope to see. And he was representing his. His. His community, representing his people, representing Puerto Rico. And I thought it was even when they went in and out of, like, Daddy Yankees Join and Donald's joint, I thought that was dope, too. I just. Like I said, I just would have loved to see Cardi B. And him perform that one joint.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't even. I didn't need Cardi. I love Cardi, but I didn't need Cardi. I like seeing Cardi out there as an extra, dancing with Jessica Alba and Pedro Pascal and Dave Groopman, who, if you don't know Who Dave Grooman is. He owns Grupman. He owns Club Live.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Owner of Club Live in Miami.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. I don't need to know the language to know the vibes. Like, that was just a lot of good energy. And I just think visually, the production was stellar. Like, I was like, wow. Like, they had me.

[Angela Yee]

Production like that on any of the. And it's all been good. But I could. When he fell through the. The ceiling up to the. Going from one foot, I'm like, how did they even make that look on the field?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Like, when you were.

[Caller or Guest]

I know. I thought that too.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Like, how did it look for the people who were actually there?

[Angela Yee]

But the production, it was.

[Caller or Guest]

Was dope.

[DJ Envy]

Like, and it's live.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

That. Like, that whole production was live.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

And it was. And it was so much going on. It was so much live action that if one thing would have went wrong, he could have messed up the whole thing. So, like, he worked very hard on that. Like, rehearsal, I know, was crazy.

[DJ Envy]

I felt like an old white man watching probably Kendrick last year because I don't know Bad Bunny's music and I don't speak Spanish. So I'm just watching something with a blank slate. Slate. And I enjoyed it.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

I have no expectation for it. No nothing. I just. This is me watching with the visual eye. Like, whatever that was was pretty good.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

I thought it was dope, too, because people were like, there should have been subtitles or he should have went in and out of English. I feel like it was dope that he didn't. Because it made you. If you didn't know, you watch how you just said Charlemagne. It made you go, like, Google and, like, act, like, talk to people and, like, learn things that you didn't know before.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I do a lot because I play the music, but I don't be knowing what they be saying anyway. But when people. It's just the vibe.

[DJ Envy]

And you're Dominican, so you knew a lot of it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I did not know any of it, but. But like I said, the only thing is, I would have just wanted to know because I know super bowl is where most artists make a stand on. They stand on something with everything that's going on in the community. I figured he would have stood for something, like, whatever it was. And I just wanted to be there to stand.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Go with the body language. Because to be honest, like, that last song that he did, you can tell that was about his country. And, like, how about all the flags?

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

And his facial expressions and the body movement of the dancers. Like, you can Literally.

[Nissan Campaign Voiceover]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

I get more and more what you saying, Shaw. You don't really have to know what he's saying. You just get the use the context.

[DJ Envy]

Like that's what I said. If you just want to know the language. Because like I said, when Ricky Martin pops out Lady Gaga, you just want to know what's going on.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

If you like, if you a gay boy, make some noise. If you a gay boy, make some noise. If you a gay boy, make some noise, you might be out there wilding and be like. And then you send off the wrong impression to people. I don't want to do that. You know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So salute to Vlad. Vlad's been up here a bunch of times. DJ Vlad, tv. He played, put out a tweet because I know he, he's been talking about this, that he, he didn't think it made sense for a long time. What did he say this morning?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, he said that he, he feels like if you are, if you didn't speak Spanish, that the Bad Bunny halftime show was pointless.

[DJ Envy]

I, I, I completely disagree. That's like, that, that makes no sense to me. Just because you don't understand somebody's language, their the whole existence of it is pointless. Come on, man.

[Angela Yee]

Well, he also said what we are talking about right now, the whole, like, I don't need to know the language because of the vibe. He said that that's just people, people being woke and we need to have a real conversation. Because he says he was at a Super bowl party and watched the Spanish speaking people go crazy over the songs while everybody else sat there in silence because they didn't not only know any of the songs, but they also had no idea what the lyrics were saying. He said Bad Bunny is a lyricist, so you can't say it's just a vibe and the language doesn't matter. And many of the people at the party were professional musicians. He says, and he says he doesn't even know why people are having this discussion on should this have not happened or not.

[DJ Envy]

First of all, if you're Spanish and you knew the words, you're probably a Bad Bunny fan. If you're just sitting there watching, you probably don't know the words, as Vlad just said. And you're not a Bad Bunny fan, so you're just taking it in. That don't mean that what you, what you're watching sucks. That don't mean that what you're watching is pointless. I sat there on the couch too and just took it in. You know what I Mean. And when it was done, I was like, oh, that was actually really dope.

[Angela Yee]

He's comparing it to, like if somebody who didn't speak English. Watch Nas, who was one of the greatest lyricists of all times. He said all you're going to hear is gibberish over interesting beats. You're not experiencing the whole song. Just like when you listen to the greatest Chinese lyricist of all time.

[DJ Envy]

Nas don't got no record that would have him out there doing the type of visual production that Bad Bunny had yesterday. Okay, like none. Like Blad n ain't doing none of that to one mic, all right? Nas ain't doing none of that to the message. All right? Maybe. Maybe Uchi, Wally or Shorty.

[Caller or Guest]

What?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

You're right.

[DJ Envy]

Maybe. Okay? There's nothing Nas could have done at the super bowl that would have required that level of production. Maybe.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why you say it like that with that language?

[Caller or Guest]

I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

Yo, what up though?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What up? Do talk to us, man. What was your thoughts on the look.

[Caller or Guest]

First let me shout out Salah man for calling out Drake. May we know people on ESPN like Stephen N. I'm gonna take up for him.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, sir.

[Caller or Guest]

Thanks for shouting that out, cuz. He was. Was horrible the whole playoff.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, sir.

[Caller or Guest]

Secondly, the game was trash. And then everybody anticipating the halftime show. I can. I can't speak a little Spanish, but I understand some Spanish. I'm sitting in a house full of a whole bunch of people trying to vibe with some music. Can't nobody understand the English. I mean, nobody understand what he said. They ain't put no subtitles on the screen. And if you go to a soccer match, you expect to see future performance. Woman, like, I understand he the most streamed artist, but people that really like in America that be outside, nobody going.

[DJ Envy]

Around listening to bad buddies.

[Caller or Guest]

That stuff is coming from like other countries and stuff. Extreme, like just fake streams and stuff. But ain't nobody listening to you, man.

[DJ Envy]

That's not true.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

My brother crazy. Y' all ain't pop one time like pop your butt.

[Caller or Guest]

Pop pop.

[Julian Edelman]

Yeah, but this is Julian Edelman from Games with Names. Now let's get into the serious stuff. We're talking football food. Specifically Daisy French onion dip.

[Gary Owen]

That is serious.

[Julian Edelman]

Gotta try these delicious new dips from Daisy. These are so delicious. They're like homemade dips made with real herb and spices and other ingredients you'll find in your kitchen. Also made with some Daisy sour cream. Daisy sour cream is a long standing staple pool for Taco Tuesday.

[Gary Owen]

You know what I do when I get my street burrito. I get the squirt Daisy.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Gary Owen]

And every bite.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

I know you.

[Gary Owen]

I completely agree with that.

They also have daisy ranch dip. I love ranch dip.

[Julian Edelman]

I love it with crackers, wings, plain potato chip, the ones with the little crinkles, maybe some bell peppers. So get out there and give Daisy French onion dip a try. You will not regret it.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Dancers was giving it up.

[Caller or Guest]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You told me. Oh, Dante, that just. But, you know, see, but.

[Caller or Guest]

But.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But that's also culture. Like, in some places, they don't have a strong Spanish community, right?

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So in New York, growing up in New York, New York was. Is huge in Spanish. Like, black Puerto Rican Dominicans is all black. Like, we pretty much all the same. Like, you party with him, you play Spanish music, you play hip hop music, play Caribbean music. Like listening to reggae. Sometimes the Caribbean music, Right. Sometimes you don't know what they say.

[Angela Yee]

But it's a vibe to the halftime show or the super bowl, for the theatrics and for the message. And I feel like you could have still got that without understanding what he was saying. If you went and talked to people or Googled or whatever you did, like, it was there. You just had to go find it.

[DJ Envy]

All I'm getting from this is over the holiday. When the holidays come this year, share Puerto Ricans, stop sharing your coquito. Okay? All you Puerto Rican women, stop giving these people from other races poom, poom. Your daddy and granddaddy been telling you that for years, but you wasn't listening. Now stop now. These niggas don't appreciate you. Stop giving these Negroes you pull. I want to talk to the Puerto Ricans, man. You Negroes is disgusting me this morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He said, that's right.

[Nissan Campaign Voiceover]

Loving it.

[Caller or Guest]

Spend my summers out there. I think there was something extremely important in his performance. I know you guys said that it was visually beautiful and enlightening, and I love that you loved our music. But when he was showing the sugar cane, he was showing how the U.S. conquered us and used our sugar to profit the U.S. he also was showing the electricity polls. That was because the US Refuses to help us in our dire needs. And we can go weeks without electricity, and they don't care, even though they own us. Then on top of that, the little boy that he gave the Grammy to, that was generational wealth as well as that was the little boy that was taken by ice. And then when Ricky Martin was saying, we don't want to be Hawaii, stand up and show our flag. And that's what he was saying in the song. So there was a lot of beautiful messages. And then at the end, as he represented all the countries of America, not just the US So to come together and we would be stronger.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Gotcha.

[DJ Envy]

I like that. I like that. I like that.

[Caller or Guest]

Last night?

[Gary Owen]

[DJ Envy]

I thought so. Hey, look, I'd rather been watching that than that. Unseasoned journal seats, man. Unseasoned. The who? The unseason. Yeah, you're right. You're right. Guys, listen, I enjoyed the Bad Bunny performance.

[Gary Owen]

I don't have.

[Caller or Guest]

Yes, indeed.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Caller or Guest]

Come on.

[DJ Envy]

And look, I grew up in the Dominican barbershop, so that's type music, you know, we kind of listen to in there. So, you know, I throw right at home. I'm with you. And I like when people lean into who they are. It's like. Like don't. Don't try to, you know, be all things to all people. Tap into your roots. Yeah, give me your culture, give me your language. I'll catch up.

[Caller or Guest]

Yep.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hello?

[DJ Envy]

Who's this? I just want y' all to know that we have a Dominican answering the phone and he's ignoring all the Puerto Rican people on purpose. I don't know what this long standing beef between Dominicans and Puerto Ricans are, but. You're ignoring the Puerto Rican. Yes. You taking random calls.

[Caller or Guest]

What are you talking about?

[DJ Envy]

You don't have to. They have the calls labeled with the Puerto Rican flag. They're purposely.

[Caller or Guest]

Hi, this is Giselle from Springfield, Massachusetts. Hey, DJ Envy. Today, DJ Envy. You could be a honorary.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, well, he's Dominican, and he been hating on y'. All.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not Dominican.

[DJ Envy]

Had to tell Red, our Puerto Rican, to take a call from a Puerto Rican. That is not true.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've been answering the calls randomly as they come in.

[Caller or Guest]

Charlemagne, you're my favorite cancer in the world, and I'm a Gemini.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, wow.

[Caller or Guest]

You're my favorite cancer.

[DJ Envy]

He did the.

[Caller or Guest]

He did the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The, man. The belly roll that you seen on the halftime show. But go ahead, Giselle, talk to us.

[Caller or Guest]

Listen, I'm proud of you guys embracing the culture. It means so much to every Puerto Rican to even be at this stakeholder. You know what I mean? I was born here. Here. I'm Puerto Rican. We are so happy about what it means for the culture. You know, when you talk about the light poll earlier, I've been listening to the 6am the light polls has to do with Puerto Rico's infrastructure. Electricity. You know, you got Trump talking about fixing Venezuela's infrastructure for oil when he got Puerto Rico right there that he could fix that infrastructure. Nobody cares. So this is huge for us.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Caller or Guest]

And nor can you. Why isn't Puerto Rico being used more for all the things that it could put sugar. And why are we outsourcing our sugar when we could get it right from Puerto Rico?

[DJ Envy]

That is true so much.

[Caller or Guest]

That Bunny bringing Lady Gaga, that's a dream of his. It's not about us. He completed his life's dreams with having her sing there.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[DJ Envy]

He's a big Lady Gaga fan.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Big, big fan.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah. So he's a big fan. Then you have Ricky Martin, which we love Ricky Martin. And, like, somebody called earlier, talked about the song about Hawaii. It's absolutely true. They're trying to gentrify Puerto Rico. There's, like, Jake Paul talking crap, saying that that buddy's not a real Puerto Rican. He's. But he's living and benefiting off of Puerto Rico right now.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I didn't understand that. Like, Jake Paul, I'm like, bro, you live in Puerto Rico where you don't pay no taxes. Like, I didn't understand that. Like, that was wild to me.

[Caller or Guest]

Listen, he don't want the Puerto Ricans to roll up on him like they did to that governor to get him out of there.

[DJ Envy]

Damn.

[Caller or Guest]

You know what I'm saying? So thank you so much for having me on the breakfast. I want to give somebody else a Time Series dream of mine. My name is Giselle from Spring Out Mass. I own Dame's Boutique and I just wanted to shout myself out for you guys and everybody else who inherited the culture last night.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Nice.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my goodness.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just. Did you think Daddy Yankee was gonna come out when you started hearing that? Gasolina.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

I bet she knew what I said.

[Caller or Guest]

No. And I'm gonna tell you why. Because Yankee is on a. On a spiritual Christian mission. His music right now, that's bumping in the cookie. It's not about anything dirty. It's actually about God.

[Gary Owen]

Wow.

[Caller or Guest]

So people to dance to his music, but it's all about his love of God. Right now. He's on a Christian mission. He ain't gonna sing God. Selena right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Gotcha. Thank you so much, Giselle.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

So like, he like man?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, he like Christian Journey. So I guess he's not performing his.

[DJ Envy]

Older music and fun fact too. You know, the last two super bowl headliners actually were super bowl supporters for other artists. Bad Bunny came out with JLO and Shakira when they performed years ago. And Kendrick Lamar came out with Dr. Dre and Snoop. I remember that when they performed. But now those two supporting acts went on to be be two headliners.

[Angela Yee]

When he opened his performance, he talked about the beauty of like believing in himself and getting from where he was to where he is now. But I wanted to mention cuz I they. They translated it like post translating it. But also too, if you were following reports people were breaking things down.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Nobody post translate nothing.

[Angela Yee]

I had to figure it all out on my own there. There are reports people were breaking it down as it was happening because it wasn't in English. But there are early reports right now that indicate that Bad Bunny has already broken the all time super bowl halftime viewership record with over with of 142 million viewers. So Kendrick Lamar.

[Nissan Campaign Voiceover]

We did.

[Angela Yee]

But I'm just telling y', all, Kendrick lamar was in 2025 was 133.5 million. Usher in 2024 was 122, 123.4 million. But Bad Bunny right now is at 142 million viewers.

[DJ Envy]

Early reports, man, when they announced that Bad Bunny was performing and everybody got their panties in a bunch. And by everybody, I mean the magus. We. I said on this radio that he was going to bring all of you in, right? Because that's what Latinos do. Okay. Show up.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

That's true. Abigate what y' all know what I mean? Keep warm, sound tasty, silly asses.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. All right.

[DJ Envy]

Well, yes, man. Salute to all the Puerto Ricans out there. All of The Latino community, period. And salute to a lot of people that are pointing this out. You know, it also was just a very calm and powerful last protest through music. Yeah, it was. You know what I'm saying? A nice, subtle fu. Yep. F you. Yep. What's the word?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Morenos.

[DJ Envy]

No, not that one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't say that word on there.

[DJ Envy]

What are y' all talking? I just know if you gotta say.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Guru, just say that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's wrong with y'?

[Caller or Guest]

All?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She gets him from somebody that knows somebody.

[DJ Envy]

She gets the details.

[Angela Yee]

I'm the home girl that'll. A little bit about everything.

[DJ Envy]

She be having the latest on this, the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she has facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, it's the latest brought to you.

[Gary Owen]

By Top Dog Law on the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Talk to me Top Dog Low.

[Caller or Guest]

All right, y'. All.

[Angela Yee]

So in this hour, to start off, I want to take a second to send some condolences to Wendy Williams and her family. Her. It was reported over the weekend that her dad passed away at age 94. Her father, father Thomas Williams Senior. Her niece, Alex Finney, actually posted the news. She posted a tribute to her grandfather, but that broke the news that he had passed away. And that is, you know, Wendy's father. That when she did that original interview with us up here at the Breakfast Club, she talked about just fighting to be able to go to see him as he was aging, you know? So I wanted to send a condolence to her family.

[Gary Owen]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Rest in peace to Mr. Williams, 94. It's a long life, though.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Very long life, man.

[Angela Yee]

Yes.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

I'm happy she got to, you know, spend time with.

[Caller or Guest]

With them.

[Angela Yee]

Yes. Now, SW Changing gears a bit, there was another super bowl conversation that came out of all of this. This one was about Chris Brown and whether Chris Brown should have been on that stage or not, because Chris Brown posted something himself. He says, I think it's safe to say they need me. Now, this was following Bad Bunny's performance.

[DJ Envy]

Horrible time in. Chris Brown. Put that in the chat.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Don't put it on the line, Chris. I said, just text me if you want to event.

[DJ Envy]

That sound like he was listening to somebody. Like. Like. Like maybe his algorithm was saying that.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And he didn't even see the performance himself and jumped out the window to say that, because as a. As a performer, if you saw Bad Bunny's performance, you ain't watching they Need Me. You ain't watched that. It was like, yeah, they need me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think it's two different conversations. No, it's two different conversations.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

It's two things.

[Caller or Guest]

True.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Like, they do need him, but.

[DJ Envy]

No, they don't. He should have said, do y' all want me next?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Yes, we.

[DJ Envy]

But that's. That's what he should have said. I want next. That he should have said, I want next.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

What you saying to me?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I. I think it's. It's two things. I think he should have waited.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I agree. I think the super bowl needs Chris Brown. Chris Brown is one of the best performers that we've seen in the last two decades. The fact that that young man can't get on that stage, I think, but I. I don't think.

[DJ Envy]

Let's talk about. Does the super bowl need a Chris Brown performance? I would love to see that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I would love to see Chris Brown.

[DJ Envy]

But in the context of we just watched Bad Bunny and you like, they need me.

[Angela Yee]

It was that bad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's two different conversations. But yes, I would love to see Chris Brown on the super bowl stage. He's probably the one artist that I know would kill it. Dancing, jumping, and all types of things. I would love to see it, but I think it's two different conversations.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Well, in other super bowl news, did you guys catch the ad that Offset was a part of?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

No. What about.

[Angela Yee]

I didn't catch the ad on air, but I caught it later on Social. So there is an ad for an app called a sports app called Sleeper. So this ad was led by Tiffany Haddish and Ben Simmons, and they play a role of two emotional injuries, injury specialists who are ex communicators.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Offset wasn't on the one on tv.

[Angela Yee]

I didn't see. I didn't even see that on TV in general.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you see the offset on there. I didn't see Offset on.

[Angela Yee]

Has offset a part of it? We cut some of it. I think it's like three, four minutes long. Let's take a listen to the.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

At a high profile relationship, it's very common.

[Gary Owen]

Are your exes subbing you in commercials?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

If so, you may be entitled to retribution.

[DJ Envy]

No, no, no compensation.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

You need emotional injury specialists, Simmons and Haddish.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You need the excommunicators, child.

[Caller or Guest]

Don't get me started on these two.

[Angela Yee]

They have no idea what they're doing at all.

[DJ Envy]

I don't even know what I'm doing doing here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm great at relationships.

[DJ Envy]

My ex was so hot after Simmons and had us hit her that she wrote a whole album about me and it went diamond.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

You didn't tell me it was Mary J. Botch.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

So they had a bunch of different.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Exes, but I was offset at the.

[Angela Yee]

I don't even know what I'm doing here. It's supposed to be funny because they had them labeled like Kayla Nicole, who was in the video as well.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ex Travis Kelsey probably cut it short for Super Bowl.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, by the way, speaking of ads, the. The relax your tight end ad that should have been in the Epstein files.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Wow.

[DJ Envy]

That was insane.

[Angela Yee]

You didn't see the short king one.

[DJ Envy]

That should have been in the Epstein files. That was. That just was. That was too much. That was too much for. For. That was too much.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, that was a lot. That was a lot.

[DJ Envy]

And one more time, I want to stress this, but. And I'm not, you know, I don't know if I'm hating or not when I say, what's that? I'm so sick of seeing Khed in these weight loss ads. And Khed a lost a goddamn pound. First it was weight loss watches, and now it's this. What is it? We gov. We something. Some type of pill. He ain't lost a goddamn pound, but he keep getting weight loss ass.

[Angela Yee]

Well, he's working.

[DJ Envy]

That's cultural appropriation. All right, All. All the fit people need to file a class action lawsuit against c. He's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Working on it, sir.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, Very much so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was on the treadmill when it come. When he.

[DJ Envy]

When he treadmill. Since Snapchat time.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

I'm not going to lie. I keep saying I'm on the tr.

[DJ Envy]

And he on these pill now. You on pills and what? Weight watches and they lost a pound.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

That's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't think he does weight watches anymore.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just a pill now.

[Angela Yee]

Well, we got a rap here. So I'll talk about this more in the. The latest. The podcast. So make sure you guys go take a listen. But did you guys see the conversation that was happening around J. Cole and the fact that he was outside doing what he was supposed to be doing? Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's going hand in hand. I just dope.

[Angela Yee]

That's what he's supposed to do.100. He went back to North Carolina, Auntie, which is where he said he sold his first physical copy of any music that he ever put out. But people are like, oh, my God.

[Caller or Guest]

Why?

[Angela Yee]

He's placating to his audience because why he pulling up in the Honda Civic? And I'm like, where else would he be and what else would he be doing this week? But exactly that. Like, I don't understand what y' all want from these artists at this.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

He rides a bike, like primarily so.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. So we'll have a conversation about that and Dreamville festival updates as we wrap up the latest. I just want to say it wasn't over.

[DJ Envy]

I thought he ended it.

[Angela Yee]

We have an audio because he told a fan that it was hard to do. But it's not going to be over. They're going to figure it out and it's going to still be in the Carolinas. I'm confused too. I thought this was the last album.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought we could talk about it little bit.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Gary Owen]

All right.

[Angela Yee]

I gotta wrap up and let people know that this, you know, is sponsored by Top Dog law. So call them for any accident. Speaking of cars, big or small.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Gary Owen]

Morning everybody.

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now it's Black History Month.

[Caller or Guest]

What we doing?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Charlamagne.

[DJ Envy]

Listen, man. Salute to my guy B. Dot. You know, every day during Black History Month, my guy B. Dot does a podcast on the Black Effect podcast network called I didn't know, baby. You didn't either. And today he's going to tell you about a black surgeon who performed one of the world world's first successful open heart surgeries.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

The open heart Miracle they don't teach. Welcome back know it alls to another episode of the most anticipated podcast on the Black Effect podcast network, especially in February, entitled I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. I'm your host, B Dot. I was a felon at 16 years old. Soul had no direction. But my HBCU saved my life. Thank you, Winston Salem State University. I love you with all my heart. And to kick off this episode, I'll give you three of the most useless facts you'll never need. Not a day in life about hearts. Your first useless fact. Open heart surgery was considered impossible well into the 20th century. And the 20th century is the 1900s. Your second useless fact. Doctors believe that stopping the human heart meant guaranteed death. And your third useless fact. The breakthrough that changed everything came from a black surgeon whose name rarely gets taught in medical schools. Would you like to meet him?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

I didn't know.

[Caller or Guest]

Maybe you didn't know.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

I didn't know.

[Angela Yee]

I didn't know.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Open heart surgery today. It sounds routine. Still serious, but possible. Millions of people are alive today because surgeons can safely operate on a heart. Your uncle with the bypass.

[Caller or Guest]

Alive.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

Your meemaw with the valve replacement. She were here for Christmas. That baby that were born with a Heart defect, who now run in trouble track. Even when my mama had congestive heart failure and they were putting all them tubes and stuff in there and making sure that blood pumped to it effectively. But for a long time, doctors said it couldn't be done. The heart was off limits. Too risky, too sacred, too final. Touch the heart and you've touched death. That was the belief. Until Dr. Daniel Hale Williams changed everything. 1893. Dr. Williams, one of the first black surgeons in America. America. He performed one of the world's first successful open heart surgeries. Did you Hear that date? 1893. Before antibiotics, before blood banks, before heart lung machines, before modern anesthesia, before most hospitals would even let a black doctor walk through the front door, a man named James Cornish got stabbed in the chest. The knife went deep. There's a sack around your heart. It's called the pericardial guardian. That was torn. They just knew bro was gonna die. Everybody in that room knew bro about to check out everybody except Daniel Hill Williams, man. Daniel opened that man's chest. He looked at what no surgeon was supposed to look at, and he saw the damage. He sewed up the actual lining of that man's heart and then closed it. And then James Cornish woke up. Not for a few minutes, not for a few hours. That man lived for decades after that surgery. That moment shattered medical belie. Open heart surgery went from impossible to unavoidable. So why are you today, years old, just hearing Dr. Williams name? Why we don't hear his name like we hear other medical pioneers? Well, here's the uncomfortable truth. Medical textbooks often frame heart surgery as a gradual evolution, as if the breakthrough just happened. Who did it? Nobody knows. It just evolved. They skipped the part where a black surgeon took a risk when the rules said don't do this, that. It's like saying the light bulb gradually evolved without mentioning Edison. Except they always mention Edison. And here's what makes it even more remarkable. Dr. Williams did this while. One, hospitals were segregated, two, black doctors were barred from medical societies, three, medical schools barely admitted us, and four, most white hospitals wouldn't even let black patients through the door. So what did he do? Rob built his own hospital. Hospital Provident Hospital in Chicago in 1891. The first interracial hospital in America. He trained his own staff, he created his own standards, he built his own institution. Does that sound familiar? It should. Because that's the Carter G. Woodson playbook, baby. Before Woodson even wrote it. If they won't let you in, you build your own damn door. Carter G Woodson understood this a century ago.

[Caller or Guest]

Ago.

[News Reporter or Mimi Brown]

If we don't preserve our breakthroughs, somebody else will rewrite them. Every heart surgery performed today traces back to a man who wasn't even supposed to be in the room. And I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either.

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

I have a black fact as well.

[DJ Envy]

[DJ Envy]

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

Okay, okay, all right. A lot of people didn't know that. And I wanted a shout out to Leon Thomas and Wale for redoing the song they. He Wale. In his latest album, he sampled Go Operate Closer to my Dreams. And it's great. But, yeah, she's the first black woman.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thanks, Jess. You got a positive note, man.

[DJ Envy]

I do have a positive note, man. And this is for everybody who does not appreciate Bad Bunny's performance from last night. Like I said, and I've been saying all morning, I don't have to, to, you know, know the language, to know the vibes, you know, I mean, I appreciate the subtle, you know, resistance that Bad Bunny showed on that stage last night. And I want to tell us to stop putting ourselves in boxes, man. It makes no sense for us to put ourselves in boxes on purpose. So I'm going to give y' all a positive note in Spanish. Watch this. El quili mucho y. Anda mucho di. Mucho y. Saba mucho.

[Caller or Guest]

What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What the hell was that?

[Angela Yee's Co-host]

He sound like he trying to be Chinese.

[DJ Envy]

Eli, don't stand there looking Spanish for no reason. What was trying to say? Okay, mucho y and mucho ve. Mucho y. Sabe mucho? Yeah, both sound. And you know what that means? That means he who reads much and travels much, sees much and knows much. The reason y' all ain't appreciate Bad Bunny's performance because y' all don't read. Y' all don't go nowhere, and y' all don't know nothing. Have a great day. Breakfast Club finish or y' all done. Wake you up. Wake you up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]
