There you go. Well, salute to every all the dance dads out there and dance parents out there. I was in Boston all weekend with my daughters. They had a three day tournament Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So our Valentine's was in between their classes. So we put them in class for an hour and a half. Mom and dad go upstairs, get it in and bring them back down to another class and get it in. But we had a good time. Congratulations to Brooklyn. She won first prize overall and first in her category. And London was second in overall and first in her category. So we had a great time in Boston. Salute to everybody in Boston. Salute to Four Star Dance Studio. They are a black dance studio out of Boston. And you know, traveling with my daughters to all these different conventions and competitions, you don't see too many black dance squads. So when you see a black squad, you know, like one of the ladies said, well, who team you rooting for? I said, root for everybody black. And they all did. And they made my daughters feel so special because it was only four of us for her from her dance studio.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So could they.

[DJ Envy]

Dance squad? Oh, yeah, they dance.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, they better be able to dance. The only black studio in Boston. Lord have mercy.

[DJ Envy]

They definitely dance. But they cheered for My daughter, like my daughter was part of their studio and made my daughter feel so special. And after, you know, you know, she has so many aunties and grandmas and uncles and it just. It was just such a family thing. So I just want to salute to Four Star Studios. Like, they really held me down out in Boston. So salute to them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Salute to Four Star Studios. I ain't do nothing. And the crazy part is I'm in here tired because I couldn't sleep last night for some reason. I was just tossing and turning for no goddamn reason. Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Am I a good person?

[Lauren LaRosa]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Morgan Wood]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think some. I don't know. Am I a good person? That's a good question. I don't know if that's a question sometimes. No, I don't think that's a question that any of us can answer. Because depending on who you ask.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You don't mean you're not a good person. So. Yes, to myself I am. But you know, it. Depending on who you ask, maybe not.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. But I couldn't sleep last night for whatever reason. But you know what? It is one reason I couldn't sleep last night because it was a three day weekend. What is it? Three day weekend and you up staying late. You staying up late all night. It's hard to go to sleep that first day back to work or school or whatever it is you gotta do.

[DJ Envy]

All right, all right. Well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news coming up. We'll break down everything that would happen over this three day weekend and more. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne. Tha God, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news first. Start off with All Star recap. Did any of you guys watch the All Star stuff over the weekend?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I watched all of it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

What's your thoughts?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What was your thoughts on what specifically?

[DJ Envy]

Oh, okay. We can start with the Celebrity Game. I thought it was trash.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Celebrity Game is always trash though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It was funny. I enjoyed Drew Ski. He was very entertaining.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, you don't watch the Celebrity Game because you're looking for actual good basketball. You look for the Celebrity Game for entertainment. So I don't count that.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. Three point contest. Tyler Hero won. That.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was cool. I mean that's, you know, but that's. That's regular pretty much. So I, I mean the whole league is a three point shooting contest at this point that don't stand out.

[DJ Envy]

What about the dunk contest?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean other than the white dude Mac dunk contest is just. Eh.

[DJ Envy]

But does he play on the team?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, when it's time for NBA All Star weekend, they put him. They give him a 10 day contract.

[DJ Envy]

That's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And then of course, what about the All Star game which was kind of confusing. It was international stars versus All Stars versus the Rick.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I had no idea what was going on.

[DJ Envy]

I was confused.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I had no idea what was going on because the whole, I thought the whole point of being an All Star as you know, to get recognized as an All Star. So I didn't understand what the rising stars were there for. Like they're not all Stars. Why did they get to play? I didn't know what the hell was. I didn't know what was going on with that. That was just. Yeah, I was confused too.

[DJ Envy]

I was confused too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But. Good morning Morgan.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good morning DJ Envy, Charlamagne the God and just hilarious. How y'all doing on this Tuesday? Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Bless Black and Holly favor.

[Jess Hilarious]

Good, good. All right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'll try to break down the game a little bit later at the 7:00 hour. But first let's get into what's topping the headlines. There's been aviation accident this time in Toronto, Canada. Delta airlines says that 18 people are injured after a flight from Minneapolis crashed at a Toronto airport on Monday. But the great news is there were no fatalities. No fatalities reported. Toronto Pearson Airport President and CEO Deborah Flint held a presser last night and here's what she had to say. First and foremost, there was no loss of life. And this is in due part to our heroic and trained professionals, our first responders at the airport. So the facts of the matter around this event that happened at approximately 2:30pm is Delta Airlines Flight 4819 from Minneapolis to Toronto operated by subsidiary Endeavor Air, was involved in a single aircraft accident upon landing at Toronto Pearson. So in a statement the airline said that the flight was carrying 80 people total. 76 passengers, four crew members and 18 people have been taken to the hospital. Now pictures and videos are surfacing showing the plan upside down in snowy conditions. Flint categorized the. Flint categorized the injuries again as relative, relatively minor and air traffic has resumed at that airport as of right now. Now the National Transportation Safety Board of Canada is leading the investigation. However, the U.S. national Transportation Safety Board is also sending a team of U.S. invest investigators to assist in that incident.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What Is that investigating? Like, nobody knows how the plane ended up upside down like that.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's weird.

[DJ Envy]

There's no video. Investigation video of everything.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Supposedly it was a wind gust, and they were already, like, pretty much close and on the ground. And then there was a wind gust that they were saying once they hit the ground, they were, like, on their side. And then the. The.

[Jess Hilarious]

The.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Before they knew it, they were upside down. And to one of the people who were involved said, quote, they were hanging like bats. So, yeah, I heard that last night.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

About the wind, and I totally believe that because you can be driving. Driving nowadays sometime, and that those wind gusts be swerving your car that heavy.

[DJ Envy]

Though, to flip over a plane, that has to weigh. How many pounds is the plane to be the wind gusts that much?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. And then also take off the wing as well, because the plane also lost the wing in that. But again, guys, this story is developing. I don't want to get ahead of myself and keep you posted with action.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Are y'all scared to fly?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm nervous. I have flights coming up, and I know you guys fly often, so. Yeah, yeah, I've been scared to fly since the DC flight, since that crash.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I understand. I've been putting. I've been trying to put it in perspective for myself. It's just like, 40. It's 45,000 commercial flights daily. So just think about that. Like, it's 45,000 commercial flights daily. How often do these things actually happen?

[DJ Envy]

But it seems like they're happening more. Are we hearing about it more and more and more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Remember the commercial flights?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now, the flight that hit Philly, the plane that just landed in the middle, that was a commercial flight?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[DJ Envy]

What kind of private jet?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Private jet. The Blackhawk was definitely a commercial.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Too many things are supposed to be in the air to keep hitting the ground. Like I was gonna say. Yeah, right, right. Just whatever. In the dmv, it's a lot of air traffic, so it really don't matter.

[DJ Envy]

Commercial and not even just crashing. Like, the planes are hitting each other. Like this wing hit this other plane's wing and this, that, and the other. And they're all commercial flights.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When was that? I missed that one.

[DJ Envy]

Now you hear about that all the time, where a plane's wing hit into another plane. Like you've been hearing that about a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lot in the last. I have not heard that a lot.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Legos, Nigerians. It's a lot of them. Yeah. All right, guys, let's try to switch gears real quick. If we can remember over the weekend, the hostages were in fact released by Hamas after the ceasefire agreement. So here's what happened. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he wants all the hostages held by Hamas to be released as soon as possible, but didn't confirm whether the cease fire deal between Israel and Palestine, the Palestinian militant group, will be upheld. Now Rubio told CBS Face the Nation he's working closely with the Israeli government to secure the immediate release of the hostages, despite the agreement outlined in the cease fire deal. Let's hear more from Rubio.

[Jess Hilarious]

There are some. They're supposed to be released coming up next weekend. We expect that to happen, but we'd like to see them all come out. We're not going to. We're not in favor of waiting weeks and weeks. Now, that may be the process that's in place because of the deal, but we would like to see them all out as soon as possible. We share the goal that every hostage needs to come home, every single one, without delay. Obviously, the there are details of how we're pursuing that and coordinating that we're not going to share publicly because we don't want to endanger the hostages and we don't want to endanger this process.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So Rubio and the US And Israel are closely working to secure their release. And of course, this comes as Rubio is also holding talks in Russia over ending the Ukraine or he's holding talks in Saudi Arabia, excuse me, today, over ending the conflict in Russia and Ukraine. So we'll keep you posted with that. So that's your front page news for 6am At 7am we will talk about New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The controversy continues. And. Yeah, and break down the All Star Game as well.

[DJ Envy]

All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Let us know how your three day weekend was or how Valentine's was again. 800-585-1051 is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

What's up, James? Get it off your chest, brother.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, yeah. Good morning, everybody. First of all, but over the weekend, I took that. That 50th anniversary on SNL. Yeah, that. The concert was pretty straight, man. I didn't expect the older acts to be so good. They surprised me the Most. Like the B52s, they did that Love Shack joint. I was like, oh, snap. Look at these old folks. Every time I tuned in, it was nobody I wanted to see. I tuned time and it was Miley Cyrus and somebody. I wasn't into that. But Lauren Hill killed it. See, no Lauren Hill. Dang. Yeah, she. Yeah, she was on there with Wcliffe. Wcliffe did, uh, caught D911. I was hoping that, uh, Lauren would have took Mary's parts, but she didn't sing them. But. Yeah, and, uh, Post Malone, he performed with Nirvana. They did that, uh. Smells Like Teen Spirit. Killed it, man. He killed it. He sound just like Kurt. I missed all of that. Yeah, it was straight, man. It was straight. Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you for putting this on, brother. Hello? Who's this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is D from Charleston.

[DJ Envy]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's happening from that 843. What's up, Charles, man? And be Jeff.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What's up, man?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All these owner operators out here, man, truck drivers, man. Pull it to these brokers. Quit taking these cheap freight, man. We do better if we get these brokers out the way. That's all I want. These brokers.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, because they gotta.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You call the brokerage first, before.

[DJ Envy]

And the brokers call the truck. So the brokers gets a percentage of what the truck driver should be making. What do you. What do you haul, sir?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, I heard General Freight drive in, owner operator. But yeah, you call the brokers, you know, if they call the load board, you call brokers, you know, get the load. But if the load paying a certain amount, the broker try to take half of the money. And they ain't doing none of the footwork.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I heard now, brother, I heard a lot of truck drivers been stealing a lot of packages. I heard that's a lot for auto. Like, they've been taking people's cars and they're selling them on, like, the underground market. Is that true?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn, I never heard of that. I don't, you know, do car hauling, but I can ask about it for now.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. We'll be safe out there on the roads.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wouldn't even ask about it. Mind your business.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You working for the feds?

[DJ Envy]

I was just asking.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, well, have a good one.

[DJ Envy]

Be safe out there, brother.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thanks.

[DJ Envy]

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up now. We got just with the mess coming up. What are we talking about?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Wendy was outside. She finally went to go see her dad in Florida.

[DJ Envy]

Nice. All right, well, we'll get to that next, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We act like they ain't got no other records.

[DJ Envy]

Well, it's either scissor or 3.1zero. Soak bay or Soak City. Which one you want? Morning, everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to just. With the mess.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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

[Lauren LaRosa]

See something and understand something that nobody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Could get you to see. It's time to set it off.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So Wendy did make it to see her dad, and she spent some time with her son. I said he was out eating and stuff.

[Morgan Wood]

Yes. Wendy was outside this weekend, a long time coming. She's been trying to figure this out. So over the weekend, she went to Florida to celebrate her dad's 94th birthday. Now, the ceremony, or not the ceremony, but what they did was very intimate. I think they just spent time at home from what the photos look like. And this photo was posted by her son, Kevin Hunter Jr. And he captioned it. You see her holding a birthday card. He's like, happy, I could make this happen for you, Papa. I said, by any means. And I kept my word. Now, I think people were surprised to see her with her son, which I don't know why. I guess it's because.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Because she had just said that he was.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah, but I mean, it's her son, though, and it's her only child. So I think. I think I wasn't surprised to see them together. I more so was surprised to see all the posting and all of that. When I say the paparazzi would leave Wendy alone from the moment she landed in Florida to the minute she got to, they went to, like, this Cuban restaurant. There was videos her eating there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think Kevin, somebody clearly called. Yo, by the way, people, paparazzi don't just show up.

[Morgan Wood]

I need y'all not in, like, Florida where she was at. No, no, not at all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[Morgan Wood]

They were everywhere. When you went, she landed.

[DJ Envy]

They knew everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Somebody was calling him every step of the way.

[Morgan Wood]

It was bad. Bad. She got highlights in the airport, and there was a whole story about the highlights she got in the airport because, you know, she was talking about she wanted to go out and travel and shop. But. Yeah, so she was. She was out with her family. She got to celebrate the birthday. Now, there was a story that came out over the weekend, too, in relation to Wendy that I thought was interesting. It was about, you know, we've been trying to figure out why she's floor where, like, all these people have no memory whatsoever. The. She's been at this home for eight months. And TMZ did a story. They said that they talked to someone who is in the facility who has been interacting with Wendy and was there from the time that she got there. And they say that when she first arrived there, she was actually placed on the third floor, which doesn't have the restrictions that she has right now. Like, she would be able to come and go throughout the building, I guess. There is a restaurant bar at the rooftop of the hotel. And Wendy went and visited this restaurant bar, and she had a few drinks. She got drunk. And they were not happy about that because, of course, she came in with them knowing that she had a history where she lives. Yeah. With them knowing that she had a history of alcoholism. So they say at that point is when they put her on the fifth floor memory unit. Now, this was supposed to just be until. I'm assuming she got to a point where they felt like they could trust her to be able to roam around the building by herself. But she is still there at this point.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And all just sounds so crazy.

[Morgan Wood]

Exactly. So, yeah. And. And when I reached out to kind of see, like, you know, because to me, this plays in favor for her, like, trying to get off of this conservatorship, even if she just moves floors in the building. And I was told the same thing that I was thinking, like, yeah, like this. They're basically saying it wasn't a dementia thing. It was because she broke the rules, she got drunk, and they wanted to make sure they can control her type of thing so she could be on a different floor, but just more protocols placed around her, obviously. But yeah. So shout out to Wendy. She Made it to Florida.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's what's up.

[Morgan Wood]

Okay, Jay Z. Yep. Jay Z.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So y'all seen that over the weekend? And I was like, okay, good.

[Morgan Wood]

Everywhere over the weekend, as much people's going real hard. Oh, I. I don't think it's gonna stop. I don't. I don't think he's gonna stop. But Jay Z and Diddy are officially off of the case with the 13 year old, the girl who was 13 back in 2000, that said that they had raped her after a VMA party. So over the weekend, that case was voluntarily dismissed without with prejudice. So he can't come back and try this again right now. According to the docs, Busby has sent two demand letters back in 2024, which we had talked about, and accused Diddy and Jay Z of raping this girl back in 2000 when she was 13. They had tried to get her identity revealed. That did not happen. On February 14, it was ruled by a judge that Busby had to submit these, like, documents that would show that he's able to even operate or legislate in the district where this is filed on that same day is when he voluntarily gave the settled K to the dismissal. So people were like, yo, this is kind of funny. Like, you didn't want to prove that you could even operate in this jurisdiction, and now you're just allowing for this case to be thrown out. Now Jay Z is like going in, he's saying that he believes that Busby purposely filed this around the time of Mufasa premiering, which ruined the premiere. Because, you know, when he went to that premiere that weekend with his daughter. 13 year old daughter with blue Ivy. Yeah, his wife. Everybody was talking about the fact that you were at this movie that centers around children and there's this, there's these rape allegations. He also, you know, just, he talks a lot about the shakedown. He says that they received death threats. Like, he just talks about how much hell they went through.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, he said it was like he had a gun to his head.

[Morgan Wood]

Exactly.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's what Jay Z said about Buzzy.

[Morgan Wood]

Yep. Jay Z said that about Busby. So, I mean, this being thrown out, Diddy scene came out and basically said, like, we've been telling y'all that all of these cases filed by this amblance chaser, talking about attorney Busby, they're just made up to get in the media and to get some attention because these are celebrities. But I mean, I don't know. This is, this is a huge win and it's Kind of crazy to me that, like, it's. It's not as loud as it was when the case first dropped, which always.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The sad. That's the sad part about these situations all the time. The dismissal of the case is never as loud in the media as the original accusations. Accusation. And also isn't home suing Tony Buzby.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah, he's. But he had already. Remember, he dropped that already prior to. There was the extortion. No, no, he didn't drop it. No. But he had already filed it during the time when his first drop. So that's already there. So that's just going to go through. He's going to go with. Through it. Go through with that. Of course.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

As he should. I'm glad HOV is suing Tony Busby because these lawyers don't care. They just believe they can hit you up and say, hey, if you don't meet our demands, then we're gonna have press conferences and go to the press with all these salacious accusations. And it's really a shakedown. And a lot of people. You be surprised how many people settle because, you know, they don't care about the bad press. But I think those days are long gone. I think.

[DJ Envy]

Well, not only the bad press, it's the amount that it costs to fight it. You know, I mean, if you just settle out, you ain't gotta pay for lawyers, you ain't gotta pay for none of that. Sometimes there's so many people that just say, you know what? I paid this 10,000, this 50,000, this a hundred thousand, and pay lawyers millions.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But, yeah, yeah, those days are over, though, because people that are. That. That are innocent and know they're innocent, and they. They don't care. They like, whatever, because they know that all it's gonna do is go to the media cycle, Twitter, gonna have fun for a couple of days, and then it's gonna be gone.

[Morgan Wood]

I will say that this. Even if Busby continues, it just looks crazy because normally with a case like this, a civil case, the fact that they said they settle with prejudice, meaning that he can't bring these.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No. Dismissed with prejudice.

[Morgan Wood]

I'm sorry. Yeah. Dismissed with prejudice without a settlement. This. That normally doesn't happen in a case like this. Normally you have to get a settlement behind the scenes for an attorney who's accusing you of these things, like a Busby asking you for money to back away. And none of that happened. So it makes attorney Busby look crazy. I mean, there's been things leading up to this that made him look crazy like that NBC interview. But I don't. I don't know how he goes forward with the other cases. If I'm a judge, I don't take them seriously.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you'd be surprised how many of these cases actually just. Just get dismissed by a court of law. But that's never news. You know what I mean? If that was news, if people realize that most of these people that file these accusations, the case gets dismissed if they knew that there was no money to be.

[DJ Envy]

The world is constantly changing. It's up to you to decide how to respond. Choose to be bold, to try something new. Choose to reinvent yourself.

[DJ Envy]

Ow. Go slower.

[Jess Hilarious]

I met Santi at a luau party in October.

[DJ Envy]

I'm Santi Damian. Oh, it was bizarre. The guy just disappeared one day.

[Jess Hilarious]

Santi has been missing ever since the hookup. What is that? I'm solving a mystery through sex and haven't made a private dick joke until now. Like no matter how hard I try.

[DJ Envy]

All roads lead to the hookup.

[Jess Hilarious]

You think it's causing people to turn aggro?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm gonna rip your arms off and use them to.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, that's a word for it. This is such terrible representation. I'm so sorry. Poppers. These aren't just any poppers.

[DJ Envy]

Mama always used to say God gave.

[Jess Hilarious]

Me gumption in place of a gag reflex. No, but my psychiatrist didn't laugh at that one either. Listen to the hookup on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. Hi, I'm Arturo Castro. And I've been lucky enough to do stuff like Broad City and Narcos and Roadhouse and so many commercials about back pain.

[Jess Hilarious]

Listen to My legacy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is my legacy. Ad people wouldn't even jump out the window and do these things. Oh, but Jay, they think it's a check attached.

[DJ Envy]

Well, it's not only that they don't have to pay the lawyer, right? Nothing comes out their pocket. A lawyer gets a third of what you supposed to make. So it's easy to go to a lawyer when nothing comes out of your pocket. You don't have to pay anything and you don't lose anything. So it's a gamble that everybody was willing to take because you don't lose nothing.

[Morgan Wood]

Nah. But Jay about to take him for everything that he has. Just when you mentioned that whole gun to my head when I read that letter that he responded with, I said, oh, the way he about to dance through this extortion and that everything that's going to come after that, he ain't going to play around with. Busby, look, you played with the right one.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know what else I saw though? The Mexican president is doing Google over the the map chain. You don't gotta go and look it up. I already.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tell us.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, because the Gulf of America, the Gulf of Mexico, they already changed it, you know, cause Trump signed an order for them to make it Gulf of America instead of Gulf of Mexico. The Mexican president was like, oh no, that's not what we're doing. So he's, he's suing Google for the, for them changing it. I, that's crazy. I see that he's stepping up, like, excuse me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[Morgan Wood]

So that's what I found. Go ahead.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's it.

[Morgan Wood]

I just.

[Lauren LaRosa]

See, that's all I wanted to do. That's all I wanted to say. Thank you.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, right. Well, that is just with the mess now when we come back, we got front page news. So don't go anywhere more. Going to be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Jess Hilarious]

Wake up, wake up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're locked into the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Let's start off with sports. Morgan, let's jump right in. Let's break down this All Star because it was a little confusing at times.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So in case you missed the 2025 NBA All Star Game, Team Shaq took down. Pause. Team Chuck, 41 to 25 with a win at the Caesar. Sorry. Chase center in San Francisco, California. Now, Jayson Tatum led all scores with 15 points in the championship game. Golden State warriors guard Stephen Curry, he was named most valuable player after combining for 20 points on the night. Let's hear from him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The journey, you know, we're not here.

[Jess Hilarious]

Without, without, you know, that generation and every generation since that has paved the way for us to play this game and have fun at the highest level. And I'm very appreciative of it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now there was people saying that he didn't deserve the mvp. I watched the game, I didn't pay any attention. They said Jason Tatum should have got it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I mean that, that shot from half court was pretty impressive. You don't think so, Charlemagne?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, it's always impressive when Steph does that. But I guess for me it's like that 40 point threshold that they try to get to. Is that really enough time for anybody to get into a rhythm to where they can be named the mvp?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm, I'm, I, look, I'm not a pro. I don't know no all Star.

[DJ Envy]

And the fact that he was home too, that was his home court. So, you know, if he was, was even closer, they were gonna give it to him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's true. That, yeah, you're right about that. I mean, at this point, is anybody impressed anymore about anything that Steph does.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I am. I think Steph Curry revolutionized the game of basketball. Not just men's basketball, women's basketball. I don't think you get a Caitlin Clark if there's no Steph Curry. So yes, to me it is always still impressive when Steph is shooting lights out the way he does.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, I like that. Okay, so Team Chuck was led by Victor wembanyama, who scored 11 points off the bench. Shaq squad advanced to the championship game after topping Team Candice 42 to 35 in semis. Now, Team Chuck booked their spot in the championship after ousting team kenny with a 41 to 32 win. Envy Mac McClung of from the Orlando Magic. He won the dance dunk contest after jumping over a car. And Tyler Hero won the three point contest. He's from the Miami Heat, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Bringing things home to you guys. In New York, Eric Adams continues to face backlash, including the resignation of half of his deputy mayors over the dropping of federal corruption charges against him. There are some sticking by the mayor though not New York City councilwoman. Council speaker Adrian Adams, she's among those to step down in the latest now following the resignation of those four deputies. Now she says that the it's very clear that the mayor has lost all confidence in his staff, has lost trust in his staff, his colleagues and New Yorkers. She says she must prioritize New York City and resign, adding that the city no longer has the ability to effectively govern. Adrian Adams says the mayor's actions and decisions have led to months of instability and now compromises the city's sovereignty and threatens to this threatens chaos and risk of harm to families. Now Mayor Adams, he stirred up more controversy on Monday when he invoked Adolf Hitler's book while defending himself against all of this drama. Let's take a listen to Mayor Adams as he invokes the Hitler's book book Minecamp.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, I remember listening to some.

[DJ Envy]

Of Dr. King's teaching and he talked.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

About the book minecomp and he indicated if you tell a lie long enough.

[DJ Envy]

Loud enough, people would tend to believe it's true.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And that's what you're seeing right there right now. Modern day mind come.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So he made those comments to a group of clergy, various faith at Rehoboth Cathedral in Brooklyn. And he also touted his record and insisted he's not going anywhere. Let's hear more from him.

[DJ Envy]

Mayor Adams, I ignore the noise. I know what we have accomplished.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is why I move through these Streets at the level of comfort that I have.

[DJ Envy]

We have done the job.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's a lack of consistency to what people are saying. They are attempting to rewrite my entire history with their own agenda.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So the mayor continues to deny any quid pro quo with the Trump administration. I can get into Governor Kathy Hokel's comments, but before I do, what do you guys think about those comments that you heard from New York City Mayor Adams at this point? Do you feel like we're beating a dead horse or the drama just continues?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. I wonder, all those folks stepping down, do they believe Mayor Adams was guilty? Are they just mad because of how he's, you know, standing next to Trump? Which one is it? Is it the Trump thing, or do they think he's guilty? That's why they stepping up?

[DJ Envy]

That's a good question.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It could be a combination of both. But also not to forget that, you know, for example, New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, you know, these people have their own jobs. They might not want to, you know, associate themselves with something of this magnitude. So there's, there's that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And even the people. That saying is quid pro. What is it? Quid.

[Morgan Wood]

Quid pro quo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What would the mayor be giving the.

[Lauren LaRosa]

President, the City of New York, and at. Maybe access, you know, in terms of ice, in terms of, you know, things of. But then again, but he's the president.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, like, if ICE wants to run up, run through New York, they can.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Run through New York regardless, really, With.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

With or without him.

[Morgan Wood]

Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So for the first time, New York Governor Kathy Hochul, she is talking about the possibility of removing New York City Mayor Eric Adams from office. So in a statement on Monday night, Hochul says that she asked leaders to meet with her today for the conversation about a path forward with the goal of ensuring stability for the city of New York. Now, she noted that no governor has ever been removed in the state history despite governors having the power to do so. No governor has ever removed a mayor in state history despite having the power to do so. So she also called reports of the past two weeks seemingly referring to the pending dismissal of Adam's federal charges and his charge and approach on immigration enforcement. I like sex. So, yeah, that further speaks to the point I made earlier, troubling and cannot be ignored. So immigration enforcement, basically, yeah, it sounds like people just. It's the drama's. It's just too much.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The immigration enforcement is interesting, though, man, because, you know, when you actually have conversations with people in New York City, it's mixed, right? Because I've always told y'all about this guy, you know, who complained to me about Ms. 13, you know, running through his neighborhood. Saw him last week and I just asked him, you know, how are things now? He said, all but one person. He said, he said. That's what he said to me last week. He said he was like, my neighborhood, they got everybody. He said it's all but one person. And he said they all, they, they're all the ones they haven't caught, they're running to Canada. But he told me last week, so, you know, it's a, it's a, it's a mixed bag if you, if you actually talk to people.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, well, I'll go ahead and wrap it up there then, you guys. That's your front page news of Morgan Wood. Follow me on social at morganmedia and for more news coverage, follow at Black Information Network. Download the free iHeartRadio app and visit [e-mail]. have a great week.

Damn, I hate how you say black.

[DJ Envy]

I say a black professional skateboarder.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You just say it like you, you maga.

[DJ Envy]

No, I say black because that's what I'm. I'm from New York City. We say black. That's what we say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, you're Dominican from New York City.

[DJ Envy]

And no, no, I'm not Dominican, sir. I'm black.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Black.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

God. Who says it like that? Like, do you say me, I say black like that just cause you black, right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's just black.

[DJ Envy]

I'm from New York. That's what we say black. I will say you too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Screw.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, first of all, I'm not the one coming for you, so stay over there.

[DJ Envy]

I don't say I don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I also don't have to stress black because I am black, Mr. Dominican.

[DJ Envy]

I stress everything, sir. I don't know if you know, but I'm not Dominican. Have no Dominican blood in me. Sorry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Until it's time for you, I'm black. Until it's time for you to collect that award. You don't never tell them people you're not Dominican when they nominate you for Dominican awards.

[DJ Envy]

They did nominate me, but I didn't go get that award because I'm not Dominican. I didn't go get that award because I'm not Dominican. But anyway, like, like I said, we have Ty Sean Jones. We're gonna kick it with him. Next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the breakfast club. Lauren LaRosa, filling in for Jess. And we got a special guest in the building.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, indeed we have.

[DJ Envy]

Tyshawn Jones. You are a professional skateboarder, correct?

[Jess Hilarious]

Correct.

[DJ Envy]

Now, how do you get to a quote unquote, professional skateboarder title?

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, I always explain it to people. Like basketball. So there's phases. There's three phases. First you go flow. Let's say that's like high school basketball. Then you go amateur. That's college. And then you go pro. That's NBA.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, and what makes you pro? Is it.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's just a company, a board company has to turn you pro.

[DJ Envy]

Got you.

[Jess Hilarious]

So, like, that's the way the culture is. Like your skateboard company is who determines when you go pro.

[Morgan Wood]

And is your company like an agency or is it just like a governing company that looks at like, what you've been doing, like track record competitions or.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, it's like a company that, like, you would be sponsored by this individual one. So, like, I don't know, like, I'm trying to explain it in a way a child maybe remember, like, you remember, like, Zoo York.

[DJ Envy]

Yep.

[Jess Hilarious]

So Zoo York is a skateboard company, or was previously. They don't. I don't think they make skateboards anymore. But Zoo York would turn you pro if you were sponsored by them. So that'd be like, basically like your team picking you up to go to the A.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And it's a very lucrative business. That's why I don't understand why more people don't, you know, get involved in it.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, I think it's lucrative in a sense. Like, certain people, it's wishy washy. Some people get paid, some people don't really get paid. It's kind of like, it just depends who you are and I guess your image.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I first heard about you, sadly through some drama when you got kicked in Paris.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

New York pro skateboarder Tasha Jones kicked off his bike by screen while riding in Paris. And then when I saw the video, I'm like, oh, he black.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, that was very interesting occurrence.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why was that? What did you ever find out what that was about?

[Jess Hilarious]

So I never told the full story. I just kind of put it on Instagram because it was funny to me. I was like. Because people like, you know, like, when stuff happens, it's like, people can't is not gonna believe this if I tell them, like, so we're riding the bikes and we get, like, two blocks from the hotel. And I'm wearing a Victor Victor hoodie. You know, Steve is my manager, so he deals with Steven. So he's like, I'm gonna film you because I'm gonna send Steven a video. You wearing the hoodie. But before he started filming me, I have my skateboard, and I have a bag in my hand. So, like, in Paris, the bikes, they're not like city bikes. Like, they don't have a strap. So I have the skateboard in the bucket, and I'm holding the bike with my other hand. So, like, my. What's the word I'm looking for? My balance. So I'm like. I'm biking kind of slow, and then there's this guy's, like, trailing me, and I'm like. I feel like. I'm like, yo, go in front of me, bro. Like, you see? I'm like. You know what I'm saying? Go around. I got, like, a lot of stuff in my hand. So he comes to the side of me, and we're, like, face to face. And he's like. He's like, you American. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Like, you get in my country.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I'm like, I didn't know he was American.

[Jess Hilarious]

Accent my accent.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Your accent.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, okay. So my team manager from Adidas is behind me.

[DJ Envy]

He's filming.

[Jess Hilarious]

He's. No, he's not filming at this point. He's just, like, behind me. And I look at him, and I give him a look. Like, I look back at him because he know, like, I'm not going for that. So we look at each other. He's like, please, Tyson, no. And I'm like. And I look back at the guy. He's like, screaming at me. And I'm like, get out of my face. Or is it going to be an issue? And then he's still going, and I'm like. So I kind of just like, push him away from me. Like, I give him, like. I'm like, move. He bikes off. Whatever. We're like. We're just biking now. We bike, like, five blocks down. Like, the full video is, like, a minute long. We're biking, and the guy must have biked off, waited to the side, and. And I'm like. We get, like, six blocks down, and I'm just, like, biking. I'm just going to get breakfast with my team manager from Adidas, who's, like, a German guy who's, like, the most peaceful guy in the world. This guy. I just get kicked off the bike. Out of nowhere. I'm just biking. I just fall on the floor. So I'm like, what the just happened? And then I get up, and I see the guy, like, zooming on the bike. So then I look at my team manager, and I'm like, it's over. Like, I don't want to hear nothing. Like, I'm going to get him. So I grabbed my bike and I start chasing him. But, you know, we from New York, so you don't know where you going? No, no, not that. He has, like, one of those bikes with, like, the. Like, a throttle. So it's way faster than my body. So I'm trying to get him. It was like a movie. Like, I. I see him, but he's, like, fading away, and he makes a right. And when I get to the Corner, let's say 10 seconds later, it's like three ways. It's like this way, this way, or this way? So I'm like, which way did he go? So then I just go straight, and I don't see him. And I'm like, oh, my God. And then I was like, people, like. Like. Like I was biking. I'm, like, trying to find this guy. Someone's like, yo, what's up, Tyson? I'm like, oh, my God. Someone's gonna see me, like, fighting this guy in Paris. But I couldn't find him, so I had to give up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you got to take your L. Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, no. It was funny.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You pushed him first.

[Jess Hilarious]

I mean, I didn't push him for.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He.

[Jess Hilarious]

I mean, it wasn't like. I was just like, get out of my face. I wasn't like. I didn't start him. I was like, you know, you and my. You know, somebody coming up to you and they screaming at you. You're gonna be like, yo, just like, back up. What you doing? It wasn't like I was like, you know, because I didn't want to be on that type of timing with, you know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. So he laid and waited for you? Yeah. You, Mr. Skateboard. A kick push.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know how many calls? You know how many calls I got? Like, yo, you allowed that to happen? I'm like, are you like, come on, bro. Like, that. That didn't go down the way it looked. But then when I got to breakfast and he showed me the video, I was like, airdrop me that. Like, I have to post that. Like, it was just too funny. Like, sometimes you have to laugh at yourself. Like, I don't take myself that serious. And I'd be like. Like, it's nothing I could do. And I'm gonna go around Paris and look for this guy. Like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So when you said, why would you do that? You didn't realize it was the guy? You had just got into it at first?

[Jess Hilarious]

No, no, I was playing. I was trolling. I was just messing around. I knew why he did it. I mean, even though I didn't think, you know, I really did anything to him, he started with me. He was cursing at me and, like, screaming at me in French, calling me a f. Ing American. But, yeah, that's the full story for the world.

[DJ Envy]

How did you get into skateboarding? When did you think it was going to be a business? Because, you know, most people, you know, they skateboard, they ride bikes for fun as a kid. But when did you say, oh, this is a business is going to be my life?

[Jess Hilarious]

So I'll tell you the story how I got into skateboarding. It's really funny, actually. So my brother at the time, he's still my brother, but we're not cool. That's another funny story. But we were at his cousin, at his grandmother's house, and her nieces and nephew lived there. And remember those TVs that, like, was kind of built it. Not TVs, but it'll be a TV. And it's like, got the speakers and.

[Morgan Wood]

Stuff under, like, speakers.

[Jess Hilarious]

And then it had, like, cabinets where you could put stuff. Exactly. And then it had like, remember, like, the CD things, the books you could open up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was born in 1900.

[Jess Hilarious]

Exactly. So it was one of those. They had that. And they just had a bunch of video games in it. And we wanted it. And we knew they wouldn't, like, ask us. I mean, they wouldn't give it to us. So we were like, let's take it. So we took, like, a couple of video games and put it in my private parts. So, like, if they started looking for it, they wouldn't know where it went. We don't know where.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You make stealing sound like, yeah, you just. Cool. I just took it. Like, you make. We were kids.

[Jess Hilarious]

We were kids. We were like. I was like, nah, he's probably 13. So we took. I took the. We took the video games, and one of them happened to be a skateboarding game. Not Tony. Not Tony Hawk. It's called Skate. It was just called Skate. They have Skate one, Skate two, Skate three. And they. They're finally making a new one after, like a decade. So I started playing the video games. And when I played the game, we were like. I was like, really? In the video games. We didn't really Go outside. I lived in Jersey at this time, and I learned about skateboarding, kind of, like the tricks and stuff from playing the video game. And one day, it was like, summer. My mom came home, and she was like, all y'all do is play the video game. Like, I need to go outside. And I was. We were like, we don't have no money. So she gave us, like, $60 each. And then we walked to Target and bought skateboards. And then from there, I just kept skating and skating, and I was probably, like, 9, 10 at the time. I didn't really know I could maybe make money off of it till I was, like, 14. I started getting paid. Yep. Siren Supreme. That potentially moved on into me skating in it and then getting noticed and then. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

All right, when we come back, we have more with Ty Sean Jones, professional skateboarder. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. Is DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with professional skateboarder Ty Sean Jones. Charlemagne.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How do you convince your mom that, you know, this could actually be a profession?

[Jess Hilarious]

I had to beg her, honestly. I remember one of the first deals was coming around, even signing with Supreme. Like, the money was so small. Like, she was like, they trying to play you. You look up on Google. They worth. I think at the time, it was 40 million, definitely for me.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

She was like, they not about to play my son. And I used to, like, cry. I had to beg her, like, just please trust me. Like, I'm not doing this for money. I would do it for free. Like, this is, like, it's gonna come. I just have to, like, build my name. I knew that if I, like, grind it one day, I could potentially make money and, like, make some. Some real money. But it wasn't really about the money to me at that time. You know, I was just young, and I was like, I would do this for free. So, you know, I just needed the opportunity.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love stories like this because, you know, I always say you just got to listen to your kids, and your kids will tell you exactly what it is that they want to do. So you was playing this skate game, and then when you got this money, you went out and you bought this skateboard. Like, what was in your mind? Like, what was on your spirit that said, I know this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. This is what's going to change the trajectory of my life?

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, I remember it was, like, a definitive moment where I, like, made a decision, and I Was young. I wanted to be a wrestler, and I wanted to be Spider man, too. Like, that's what I was into. Like, I used to have, like. I used to, like, really like Spider Man. I thought that that was a profession.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And morale is a Peter Parker character.

[Jess Hilarious]

Nah. Tobey Maguire. Yeah, that was that. That was that. Yeah. Peter Parker. I wanted to be a wrestler as well. And then I. But I was skating, so I would, like. I was like. My mom was like, which one are you going to be? And then I was just like. We moved back to the Bronx, and I was like, yeah, I'm going to just skate. Like, that was the most fun to me. I just stuck with that. So. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And there was a period where it's like, hip hop, really? I guess kind of made skateboarding. I guess I'm not cool. Or maybe we would. I'm not going to say cool because it was already cool. But when the hip hop artists started doing that, it kind of made it easier for you as a black kid to be doing it, right?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, for sure. I feel like growing up in the Bronx and stuff, people be like, make references. Tony Hawk, obviously. Lil Wayne.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

I feel like. But even though, like, Lupe, he's known. But I feel like certain people where I'm from, at least I'm not gonna say they don't know Lupe. But that ain't. That's not, like, first to mind. Like, they'd probably be like, yeah, like Wayne. And I don't even. Like, I see Pharrell, because they would say kick, push. But I don't. I don't think they put two and two together. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know if they even know who sing that song, but just more like a famous song.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What did that do for skateboarding culture from your perspective?

[Jess Hilarious]

I mean, that was already, like, out, so I didn't see it firsthand. I don't think skateboarding was accepted where I grew up. Like, it was like, people used to just, like, kind of laugh and thought it was, like, funny that I skated, but I was into it. But I remember I kind of lived, like, two lives, like, because, you know, I grew up in New York and, like, having, like, family in the streets and stuff. So they always kept me fly. So when I would go to school, I would wear, like, Jordans and, like, stuff like that. But then I would go home and, like, put on my skate clothes. It was kind of like I had a double life. Like, I would go to school in the Bronx in, like, this crazy environment. And then I would, like, go home, change my clothes, take the train all the way downtown. And it was like, a different world for me. Like, it was white people, Asian people, all different type of races, just brought together by skateboarding. It's not really, like, color and skateboarding. Like, it's just like, everybody kind of having fun so that you get into.

[DJ Envy]

It a lot, too. Like, I would always see. I feel like people always thought skateboarders were soft.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And I would always see skateboarders, somebody up all the time with them skateboards, beat somebody's ass and. And beat somebody's car. Did y'all always get into problems or trouble where people thought y'all was soft or cut y'all off or.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, yeah, for sure. Definitely. I think, like, people don't associate skateboarding with, like, being tough, but, you know, that's anything, you know, I'm not saying that people walk around like, I'm a tough guy, but not soft. It's just like. But, like, a skateboard is a weapon. If you hit somebody with a weapon, like, I've known people who hit people with skateboards and, like, put them in a coma. Like, you don't even play with that. Like, it's like a metal object that could really hurt somebody. So that's like, if you have to do that. But obviously, like, you see in kids, they hit the guy with the skateboard and stuff. It's happened, but it's really dangerous.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's funny, too. You said you used to get fly, but then you go home and dress like a skater. But there was a time where that was getting fly for some people.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. I mean, I remember the transition, like, at first, like, I used to wear skate stuff, and they would be like, that's like, you look like a white boy or whatever. But then it kind of, like, got popular, you know, with, like, street wear and all that stuff, and then it was more accepted. So it was funny to see the transition. But it's dope when, you know, to me, some skaters don't like it when they feel like people come into the culture. But I think it's cool. It brings more eyes to the sport and all of that stuff.

[Morgan Wood]

So was Virgil. I read that Virgil. You and Virgil Abloh had a really good relationship.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, we were cool.

[Morgan Wood]

Speaking of streetwear.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

We were actually working on something before he passed away. It never came to light, but, yeah, Virgil was cool. We would talk. We were gonna do a collaboration with my brand, and off white that we were working On. But, yeah, his untimely demise. Yeah, never came out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When stuff like that happens, do you just let the whole idea die or do you.

[Jess Hilarious]

I mean, I really didn't have a. I didn't know what to do, you know, at that time. What was this, 20, 21? I remember my modeling agent called me and told me, but I wasn't gonna be like, you know, people are grieving and stuff like that. I'm not gonna reach out to his family or like, you know, sorry for your loss, but by the way, we were working on it. Yeah, exactly. Like, at that point, to me, it was like, you know, if they. If somebody from his team knew about it and they reached out and was like, I knew you guys were working on this. Like, we want to continue it, but that never happened. And it's okay. You know, how much do you have.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To hurt yourself to get as good as you have gotten? How many falls, injuries, Broken bones?

[Jess Hilarious]

Knock on wood. I never really. I never broke a bone. Okay, but you obviously, you fall and stuff. Like, I just think skateboarding teaches, like, it's like a life lesson. Like, you have to keep going to get over the hurdle. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, if I had a dollar for every time I've heard, like, yeah, I tried skateboarding once, but I fell and I quit, you know what I'm saying? Because people don't like to fall once or twice and then they're just like, oh, that hurt. But, like, you get used to it. It's like working out. When you first start working out, your body's really sore, and you keep doing it and you keep doing it and you get used to it and you learn. You just have to, like, wanna strive to get better.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we got more with Ty Sean Jones when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking in with professional skateboarder Ty Sean Jones.

[Jess Hilarious]

Correct, Correct.

[DJ Envy]

I was asking, you know, what do you do to push the limit? Right? Because I've seen a lot of things.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You.

[DJ Envy]

Did you work with Louis Vuitton, right? You with Steven Victor?

[Morgan Wood]

He's a friend of the house.

[DJ Envy]

Friend of the house. I see you jump over million dollar Ferraris in the middle of Manhattan.

[Jess Hilarious]

So.

[DJ Envy]

So what do you do to push the limit for. For the next generation that, you know, things that we haven't seen or things that you want to do?

[Jess Hilarious]

I just think it's limitless, you know, like, even like, to the Ferrari. Let's just use that as an example. Like, I try to. When I skate, I want to, like, make it relatable, because skateboarding, to me is so. What's the word? It's just, like, you don't understand it. You just see, like, somebody flying in the air. And I think that skateboarding gets, like, culturally, it's, like, accepted because people understand it's cool. And it's like the. Like, some people won't call it a sport, but it's the sport that, like, the outsiders, because you do it alone, it's individual, where, like, basketball or something like that, it's a team, and you go to a stadium and stuff like that. And it's more. You could dissect it easier. Like, you know, somebody's running down the court, they pass, they shoot. It's two, it's three. You know what I'm saying? Trick skateboarding, you can't learn everything. It's impossible because there's, like, combos. You could jump onto this table and manual and this. That. You know what I'm saying? So it's literally impossible to be able to do every trick. So. And I think that's why I gravitated to it as well, because, you know, to me, I like to keep setting the bar.

[DJ Envy]

But you still learn new tricks, you still do new things, or.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, man, it's kind of hard because, I mean, I try to learn new tricks. Sometimes I get new tricks, but now I'm at a point, like, you know, it's a gifted encouragement, but I go to the skate park, and people watch me, so it's kind of like, run, you know, saying. So it's kind of, like, a little, like, weird sometimes, trying to learn a trick because people look at you at this point like you're professional. Like, they think in their mind, like, you probably could just land everything. So when you're trying to, like, go into the, like, I'm trying to train kind of vibe at, like, a public place, and somebody might be filming you or. This is kind of hard, you know, I'm saying you don't see, you know, Luca in the park practicing, you know, I'm saying he has a private facility where he's training, and he could try to learn new things. So I'm working on that right now to try to get a private indoor skate park so I could practice.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Are there new tricks, though?

[Jess Hilarious]

I mean, yeah, not new tricks, but tricks you probably haven't done. You know what I'm saying? Like, sorry to keep referring back to Basketball. But, like, you know, somebody might not be able to go left as easier as, you know, I'm saying. So they could practice that or they can't dunk through their leg. You know what I'm saying? So it's impossible to know everything. You know, as good as you are, you could always progress. So, you know, I know Charlotte asked.

[Morgan Wood]

About what was the lv. The friend of the house thing. I told him you would explain it. And Pharrell brought you into that. Was it because of the Virgil relationship or just because he's been, like, watching what you've been doing?

[Jess Hilarious]

I don't know if it's because of the virgin relationship. I think he's just a fan of skateboarding. He obviously skateboards. He likes the sport and the culture. And I thought I was a good representative for the brand and bad. I guess I'm sponsored by Louis Vuitton.

[Morgan Wood]

Does it do events with them?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, events. Clothes go to the shows, campaigns, stuff like that. Oh, yeah. Money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Black people accepted into skating. Like, is it one of those things where it's just.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, I think black people skate is accepted as skating for sure. I mean, I don't think there's like a lot of professional black skaters. Maybe like 20, 25. But yeah, we're accepted for sure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And what's the evolution of skateboarding and really the evolution of you? Because, you know, when I hear things like Skate 4 is coming out, I'm like, well, damn, are you in that? They're gonna be a film about.

[Jess Hilarious]

I don't know. I'm. I'm in an Tony Hawk coming out, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, that's cool.

[Jess Hilarious]

They got a new one they remastering, so that's about to come. I was in the last one. The evolution of skateboarding. That's a great question. I don't know. It's an Olympics now, you know, I just think it's getting bigger and better. Like, Louis Vuitton is sponsoring it. So I'm excited to see where it goes.

[DJ Envy]

[Jess Hilarious]

I met Santi at a luau party in October.

[DJ Envy]

I'm Santi Damian. Oh, it was bizarre. The guy just disappeared one day.

[Jess Hilarious]

Santi has been missing ever since the hookup. What is that? I'm solving a mystery through sex and haven't made a private dick joke until now. Like, no matter how hard I try.

[DJ Envy]

All roads lead to the hookup.

[Jess Hilarious]

You think it's causing people to turn aggro?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm gonna rip your arms off and use them to.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, that's a word for it. This is such terrible representation. I'm so sorry. Poppers. These aren't just any poppers.

[DJ Envy]

Mama always used to say God gave.

Me gumption in place of a gag reflex. No, my psychiatrist didn't laugh at that one either. Listen to the hookup on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sketchy guy named Steve.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's giving funny true crime. I love storytelling and I love you. So I can't wait. Listen and subscribe to Greatest escapes on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to my legacy. I'm Martin Luther King III, and together with my wife, Andrea Waters King, and.

[DJ Envy]

Our dear friends Mark and Craig Kilburger, we Explore the personal journeys that shape extraordinary lives.

[Morgan Wood]

Each week, we'll sit down with inspiring figures like David Oyelowo, Mel Robbins, Martin Sheen, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and Billy Porter and their plus one, their ride or die, as they share stories never heard before about their remarkable journey.

[Jess Hilarious]

Listen to my legacy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is my legacy.

[Jess Hilarious]

Maybe it does get to a place where it's like a basketball or football and people really dive into it more and look at it and, you know, try to understand it a little bit more. Besides, just, like, skateboarders are cool or, like, have, like, a fashion aspect to them, so it's unknown where it could go. I think the sky's the limit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And Tony Hawk still the guy guy, right? Like, he. Is he the godfather of it all?

[Jess Hilarious]

For sure. It's interesting. We had a. I was having a conversation, somebody. It's interesting that he made it, like, really mainstream. Like, when people think of skateboarding, they refer to him. Yeah, but it's only been one, like, you know, like, imagine music. When people thought of rap, they just like Biggie, right? Biggie. You want to be like Biggie, but there's a thousand rappers, you know what I'm saying? So that just goes to show, like, how, like, skateboarding is just weird in that way, that it hasn't been, like, everybody who. Who's, like, super famous off skateboarding, they got famous doing other things. Like Tony Hawk, he's so famous because of the video games. Rob Dyrdek is Rob Dyrdek because he had the TV show. So I think there's always another element to, like, getting over to that real mainstream level. And I'm saying, I don't think anybody's ever successfully did it just being a skateboarder.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How'd you connect with Steven Victor?

[Jess Hilarious]

Through a friend. I called a friend, and I was like, I'm looking for a Ferrari or, like, a sports car that I want to jump over. I was like, I know your friend has some. Do you think he would, like, let me rent one from him and do it? He's like, let me call you back. And I was like, all right. He called me back, like, immediately. And he was. We were on three way, and he was like, so tell him what you want to do. And I was like, I want to, like, jump over your car with a skateboard. Would you let me rent it? I'll, like, put some insurance. Like, I'll put some money down in case something happens. And he was like, nah, that's what insurance is for. And I was like, all right. And he's like, he's like, that sounds fire. Like, let's do it. Let's meet. Our friend had been coming to New York because he was living in la and he was like, we're going to go to his office. And then we came to his office and he was, he was like, so what do you want to do again? And I was like, just telling him like, he's like, you think you could do it? I was like, yeah, I think so. Like, for sure. And then he's like, all right, we going to set it up this week. And then like three days later, we made it happen. It was just something I wanted to do. Like I just have, you know, random ideas, make it sound real.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, like that wasn't a typical Ferrari because.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, no, for sure.

[DJ Envy]

One of very few being able to.

[Morgan Wood]

Call a friend who gets Steven Victor on the phone.

[DJ Envy]

No, this Ferrari is about a 2 million dollar Ferrari, probably 4 million right now. This is, it has no top. It's. It's one of those ones that there is no fixing it. Yeah, you you that up. It's a rat.

[Jess Hilarious]

But it was. But that's why you say, you make it sound like that. But it was innocent. It wasn't like so premeditated. Like I wanted to do it, but I didn't know that it was gonna be like that. You know what I'm saying? Like, I didn't. No, not even just the car. I didn't know that, like people would gravitate to it. So crazy. I thought, you know what I'm saying? But it resonates, you know exactly how I said, like, you don't know tricks, but you know that car. You get what I'm saying? So in your mind you like, oh, he just jumped over a four million dollar car, you know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

And the way I first saw it, I just thought it was the car was parked and you just did it rogue.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Then when I found out that, I said Steven is crazy.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Like, I don't know what, he got too much money for all that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So basically, Stephen Victor charged you 10 to 15% for the rest of your life just to jump over his car.

[Jess Hilarious]

We made up, we made a moment, you know, we try and make more.

[DJ Envy]

Well, we appreciate you for joining us. Thank you so much, man. Appreciate it. And we love you.

[Jess Hilarious]

Thank you for having me.

[DJ Envy]

Keep encouraging kids, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I'm gonna be honest with you. You don't only skateboarder I know right now. So I'm gonna be watching you, and in my mind, you Tony Hawk. So when I bring up skateboard now, I'm like, yeah, Tashawn Jones chilling it out here.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Thank you, thank you. Thank you for having me. And it's a real full circle moment. I'm not gonna lie. I watch breakfast club on YouTube. Like, I'll be on YouTube when I go home and I watch you guys stuff. So really appreciate you having me.

[DJ Envy]

I was going to bring a skateboard to see if you could teach us all a trick, but we too old for that. First of all, we heard, we heard. We not getting back up.

[Jess Hilarious]

When I get this. When I get the skate park, y'all come through.

[DJ Envy]

Say no more.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

It's TA Jones. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just can't do it. Why are we playing this record? I just don't understand.

[DJ Envy]

You just gotta laugh, man. You just laugh.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just don't get it.

[DJ Envy]

Just laugh. Just laugh. Let's get to Jess with the mess.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The news is real, whether it's L, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lies. She don't spare nobody worldwide.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

J Worldwide Method on the Breakfast Club. She's a culture shooter. She was able to get y'all to.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's time to set it off.

[Morgan Wood]

So I ain't gonna lie.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I've never really been, like, a big fan of SNL, but the SNL50 was. Was big. And I've seen a couple big moments that, you know, were talked about a lot. Yeah, the. The Jeopardy. I saw Shout out to Lisa Leslie Jones. That's my girl.

[Morgan Wood]

Oh, yeah. She killed it. And she. She was hosting. I think it was the E Carpet. She got to do that as people were going into the SNL party after. Yeah, she was everywhere this weekend. But everybody popped out like, I mean, some of the biggest celebrities in the world have been a part of the SNL umbrella. So, of course, the moments were big this weekend as they celebrated SNL turning 50. Now, one of the highlights for me, anytime you get to see Eddie Murphy back on stage or back on screen. So they did this skit with Eddie Murphy and they kind of leaned into the Nutty Professor. Him and Kenan, they did a Scared Straight skit. Let's listen to that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, yeah. Look at them pretty brown eyes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They gonna love you in prison. Ariando Pacquino. Now why'd you shoplift, huh? I was just trying to impress. I impressed my girlfriend.

[Jess Hilarious]

She thick as hell.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You think I never tried to impress a woman? You know, once I was a 400 pound professor, huh? And I fell in love with J.D. pinkett. But he was ashamed of his weight, so he drank a serum that turned him into Buddy Love. Then you go to a dinner at the club's house and you realize that everybody at the table is the same person. Cause this is real, yo. Okay, that's almost certainly the nutty professor. You better shut your damn mouth. You'll be professing your love of nuts. All right. Professor Club was ahead of his time. Because that serum ain't nothing but Olympic now and Manjaro and all that other stuff.

[Lauren LaRosa]

SNL's kids. They make me miss the Wayans.

[Morgan Wood]

Oh yep, 100.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Because they had them doing the writing and had them done, you know, shout out to everybody came and. And Eddie and Will Ferrell and all they my people. But the Waynes like they supposed to be doing stuff like this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You saying the Wayans are just better than that's what you said?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Absolutely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[Morgan Wood]

Cuz I have more soul to it. It's different. Different with them for sure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Living color.

[Morgan Wood]

Absolutely.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Jim Curry. I needed all of them now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Esl. Back in the day though, when it was like the Will Ferrells and the Tina Faze and Eddie.

[Morgan Wood]

All of them were there, by the way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Back. Back in the day it was when.

[Morgan Wood]

They could get a little crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Morgan Wood]

So they had this one skit where they kind of threw back to that. It was like an in. In. In memory in Miranda, however you say that word. And it basically was like them throwing back to the times where like they had like very sketchy moments or guess that now it just doesn't controversy. But it wasn't controversial at the time.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Nowadays now controversial 100%. So that's like these skits couldn't have been dropped today or just the guests.

[Morgan Wood]

Wouldn'T have been allowed to come on today. SNL problematic skits. Let's take a listen to that.

[DJ Envy]

I'm speaking of course about SNL characters and sketches that have aged horribly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We now present to you this In Memoriam. Why don't you drop out of that green jumpsuit and show me that fat ass. It looks like this is my lucky day. I'll take the rapists for 200. That's therapists.

[Morgan Wood]

They got guys dancing with guys, girls dancing with girls. Guys who look like girls dancing.

[DJ Envy]

For those of you hissing at that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Joke, it should be noted that that.

[DJ Envy]

Joke was written by a woman. No, I'm just kidding.

[Jess Hilarious]

We don't hire women.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't judge a book by its color.

[Jess Hilarious]

My man is like R. Kelly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you to R. Kelly. I'm Jared Bogle from Subway. They ain't put Chevy Chase when he said the N word, though. They ain't put that one when he was an SNL cast member.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Too problematic. Too problematic.

[Morgan Wood]

They still had to keep it a little cute. R. Kelly's attorney did come out and speak on this snl. Like the fact that they mention him and she said. Or that it was rather arrogant that SNL sees it as their job to decide who should and should not be canceled. But at this point, I mean, we didn't. I haven't heard R. Kelly's name.

[Lauren LaRosa]

One thing you gonna know is what an attorney attorney says.

[Morgan Wood]

You know, I'm on it.

[DJ Envy]

I'm like, every point, every time.

[Morgan Wood]

Attorney Talk Normally, it's TMZ.com NBC, MSNBC, the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I never even seen R. Kelly on that side. I don't remember that.

[Morgan Wood]

I think it's them leaning into just saying, like, Diddy was talking about R. Kelly. So it's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, R. Kelly was on the show. He was on there with Lady Gaga. Because I. When I saw that story, I saw it there, but I didn't. I never saw him on there.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah, me neither. I'm just saying that the attorney upset, but honestly, I haven't heard his name in a while, so I wouldn't be upset if I was her. At least somebody's mentioning him somewhere.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I always say R. Kelly name. There's always some stuff. I mean, it's not really, like, report worthy, but it's.

[Morgan Wood]

He'd be defending.

[Lauren LaRosa]

There's some stuff coming out.

[Morgan Wood]

Well, this was the one thing that got people pissed off. And I thought that this was the lightest thing that happened all night. Tom Hanks played a character during the Black Jeopardy skit, a character named Doug who's a MAGA supporter. Let's take a listen to that.

[Jess Hilarious]

This religious character has made people laugh for years.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, it is Doug.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How you doing, Darnell?

[DJ Envy]

Now, I heard a fella could win.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Some money here, and I know exactly who that is. The church lady. Yes. Yes, that is correct, Doug.

[DJ Envy]

Now, speaking of church, can I say something? If more folks went to church, we.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wouldn'T be in this mess we're in now. You know what?

[DJ Envy]

I agree with you, Doug.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'd like to shake your hand, sir. Here we go. Oh, no, no.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, no, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's just. It's just a handshake. Yeah, it's just a handshake. Yeah. All right. Thank you, my. My brother.

[DJ Envy]

You know, maybe I'll start a show for you to come on and we'll call it, what, Jeopardy?

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, we don't need it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We don't need it.

[Morgan Wood]

So they're mocking White Lives Matter. They are making MAGA supporters out to be racist. That's how the MAGA supporters feel anyway, because he wouldn't shake Keenan's hand.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And he had a MAGA hat on.

[Morgan Wood]

And he had a MAGA hat on. And he's like, everybody needs to go to church. The MAGA supporters were so upset at this. They like, yo, Trump is the president at this point. Y'all need to let it go. Like, whatever. However y'all feel, y'all need to let it go. I didn't think that that was an issue, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They should be upset because it wasn't funny.

[Morgan Wood]

It was. That's what I'm saying.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It was so light.

[Morgan Wood]

Why should. And forgot it even happened.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then I was, like, upset about.

[Morgan Wood]

This is what everybody's taking from this. Like, Eddie Murphy did all these skits and this is what y'all got to say. But, yeah, so that was SNL 15. The after party was crazy, too. Everybody popped out for the after party as well, too. Kim Kardashian, Leslie Jones was there as well.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What about the performances? Any performances?

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah, Lil Wayne performed. You had Lauren Hill there as well.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And honestly, people, what time she going on?

[Jess Hilarious]

She.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She was on top this morning. Oh, this morning.

[Morgan Wood]

She was on time. But people were actually, like, I guess not confused, but they were excited to see Lil Wayne performing and having a good time and doing well. And Reginae had to pop out and be like, get off his.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know. Well, how did he sound?

[Morgan Wood]

Let's take a listen. We got it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You a roughneck. Well, I'm a cutthroat. If you a tough guy, that's enough jokes. And then the sun died the night.

[DJ Envy]

Is young Though the nightmare still shining.

[Jess Hilarious]

In a row hey, what the.

[DJ Envy]

Though where the love go Five, four.

[Morgan Wood]

Three, two, all in one, go. He sound like Lil Wayne.

[DJ Envy]

Sound good to me. Yeah, he sound good to me.

[Morgan Wood]

But people were like, oh, my God, he's moving around the stage. Oh, my God, he's having a good time. Oh, my. Like, he's alert. And she's like, yo, stop playing with him. Like my dad. Have a good time. He performed all the time. Go play with somebody else.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like they tried to say Lil Wayne was incapacitated and then conservatorship or something.

[Morgan Wood]

That's how they try to make it. See, after he didn't get the super bowl is like he's not capable of doing anything. Dave Chappelle introduced him into the performance as well, too.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So Dave Chappelle actually had some good skits too. He did the Immigrant dad skit. I thought it was funny. And it was like he. It was like a Mexican. He was the black neighbor. Black Richard. That was funny too, but I missed all of that.

[DJ Envy]

How long was this show?

[Morgan Wood]

This show was like two and a half hours long.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought it was two days.

[Morgan Wood]

Well, if you watch it on Peacock straight through, it's like two and a half. Two and a half hours long. I didn't. If it was two days, I didn't watch both days. I know that they did a free thing. They did snl. They did After Party. It was a whole weekend thing. Yeah, SNL 50, I think. Yeah, go ahead.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Thank you.

[DJ Envy]

That is just with the mess. Thank you, Jess. Thank you, Lauren.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Now when we come back, Charlemagne donkey today. Who you giving your donkey to, man?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We need the US Department of Education to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with them this morning, please.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll get into that next, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club. This is America.

[Jess Hilarious]

There is no question that there are.

[DJ Envy]

Problems in this country between police and community.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, you are a donkey. To the latest on that police killing of a black man.

[DJ Envy]

Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was a really bad day for.

[Morgan Wood]

Him and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay? White supremacist violence is, it always has been, the number one threat to our society.

[DJ Envy]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Breakfast Club, bitches.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The way things are going, they gonna sign an executive order to make me change that intro soon. But donkey of the day for Tuesday, February 18, goes to the U.S. department of Education while, well, or should I say, Donald Trump's U.S. department of Education. Now, if you haven't been paying attention to what's going on in the world, because it hasn't popped up on Shade Room just yet, let me be the first to tell you that Donald Trump and the Department of Education have decided to eliminate all race based programs in schools. Okay? And they got 14 days to get rid of it. That's right. The Department of Education plans to cut funding for initiatives that address racial disparities in education. They will penalize schools that consider race in scholarships, hiring, and a bunch of other activities. Okay. They warn schools that they risk losing federal funding if they continue to take race into account when making scholarship or hiring decisions are so much as knotted to race in all other aspects of student academic and campus life. Oh, I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to the national desk for the report, please.

[Morgan Wood]

Doge's newest target, Diversity, equity and inclusion at the Department of Education, identifying 70 DEI training grants amounting to $373 million. According to Doge, one such grant trained teachers to engage in self reflection to confront their own biases and racism. This comes as the Department of Education continues its crackdown on DEI programs and policies in schools. On Friday, the acting Assistant Secretary sent out a letter reminding institutions any discrimination.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Based on race, color or national origin is illegal.

[Jess Hilarious]

Adding institutions failing to comply with federal.

[Morgan Wood]

Civil rights law face potential loss of federal funding.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Critics quick to respond.

[Morgan Wood]

What does this mean?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Are they going to take away funding from historically black colleges? Are they going to take away funding.

[Jess Hilarious]

From public schools that have a Latino student union? To me, it indicates just the fanatical.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Obsession that this administration has in terms of going against DEI.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is America 2025. You know, America's core values allegedly have always been liberty, equality and justice. These values are supposed to be the foundation of American democracy, but they aren't, okay? Never have been. It's liberty, equality and justice for white men. And then there's the rest of us, all right? In fact, the only reason things like affirmative action exist is because government needed a remedy for the effects of long standing discrimination in this country. Now somebody needs to explain to me what's changed, okay? In a country where systemic racism is literally rooted in every institution, the solution is now to pretend that racism and other forms of discrimination just simply don't exist. Let's go back to doing things the way they were being done before these race based programs existed. So let's go back to doing what caused us to have to come up with the race based programs to begin with. This is all part of a broader agenda to remove what they call wokeness from American education. Look, I don't care for wokeness either, okay? I believe most woke people just simply need some sleep. But the reality is wokeness and programs designed to level the. To level the playing field for marginalized students are not the same, okay? You can't just strip away those programs. That's like having a leaky roof and you decide to fix that leaky roof by removing the roof entirely. That would make no sense. Now, this is also the latest step in the Trump administration's move to reshape programs intended to make things equal for historically underserved populations as a form of racial discrimination. Craig Trainor, who's the Education Department's acting assistant secretary for civil rights, said related programs and scholarships, many of which have historically helped black and Latino students attain college degrees, our fine community had come at the expense of white and Asian students, many of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Now, let me read to you a quote from Craig Trainer, because this is interesting. He said, and I quote, at its core, the test is simple. If an educational institution treats a person of one race differently than it treats another person because of that person's race, the educational institution violates the law. Well, God damn, how many institutions have treated white people differently and given them preferential treatment over every other other? Okay? Trainer says, put simply, educational institutions may neither separate or segregate students based on race nor distribute benefits or burdens based on race. I could be wrong because I am not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but we got to these race based programs. We implemented things like affirmative action to make sure that policies and programs gave limited preferences to minorities and women, not just in institutions of higher education, but job hiring, awarding a government contract, other social benefits. They had to implement implement these things because if they didn't, white privilege would rule everything around me. Education is supposed to be the great equalizer, but how can it be when the very programs aimed at uplifting the underserved are being dismantled? Donald Trump and his Department of Education are sending a very clear message, and that message is F you, niggas. They aren't interested in addressing the real issues of inequality in our schools. Instead, they would rather gaslight us, tell us we tripped dripping, sweep the inequality under the rug, and then tell us to act like we don't see the lump. So all these colleges that offer scholarships and grants specifically for students of certain ethnic backgrounds, all that's just gone. Schools are just barred from using race and decisions pertaining to admissions and hiring and promotion, compensation, financial aid, scholarships, prizes, administrative support, discipline, housing, graduation ceremonies, and all other aspects of student academic and campus life. Who is going to be policing this? Okay, what about America in 2025 should make any of us believe we can trust people to do the right thing in regards to prejudice and discrimination. Because if you ask me, what the Department of Education is currently doing is indeed prejudice and discrimination. And you know the main reason we should teach the true history of America, so we don't repeat our mistakes. Winston Churchill once said, those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. We have learned nothing. And so here we are. Please let Kathy Griffin give the Department of Education the biggest Hee Haw. Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest Hee Haw. It's Cold world. Yes, it is Cold World Crazy.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Now, we were talking about this earlier with all the recent plane crashes and close calls on the Runway. Are you scared to fly? Does it make you nervous? 800-585-1051. We've seen what happened with Delta and Toronto. The plane flipped over. We've seen what happened in even a private jet in Philly where, you know, the plane went right into a residential neighborhood.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It is 45, 000 commercial flights a day, y'all. 45, 000 commercial flights a day. And it's been two incidents with commercial flights.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I just feel like maybe because it's so close, like, you know what I mean? And then whether it's commercials in D.C.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I mean?

[Lauren LaRosa]

D.C. philly. And then the plane was coming from Kansas City and then another plane. Like, it's just a lot. Like, I feel like it's a lot, you know, and anytime you fly for a living, you look at stuff like that, like, because that's what I do. I fly a lot. So.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I look at that like, damn, you know, because at any time, you could be any plane, anybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, well, we're saying it's a lot, but the reality is it's been two commercial flights.

[DJ Envy]

And it is the safest way to travel. They're saying flying is still one of the safest ways to travel. It's safer than driving. It's safer than anywhere else.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I still don't doubt that, but it's just a lot going on. Like, when you hear these stories, you.

[Jess Hilarious]

Know what I mean?

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's a lot.

We're asking, with the recent plane crashes and the close calls on the Runway, are you scared to fly? Now, let's start with you, Jess. Are you scared to fly?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I'm scared to fly. You know, it's not that to the point that I won't do it, but I'm definitely frightened. You know what I mean? Like, since the whole D.C. collision, that has definitely had me a little frazzled, you know what I mean? But I was debating not even going to super bowl weekend, you know.

[DJ Envy]

Wow. Yeah, I'm not scared to fly, but I'm definitely more aware of what's been going on. Like. Like, even me checking my surroundings, gonna do something, but it just makes me feel better. But with all the recent crashes and the close calls, I still know that flying is the. The safest way to travel. I mean, when you're on that road, there's so many people that slick, slick highways, there's people falling asleep, there's so many other obstacles. So I wouldn't say that I'm scared, but I'm definitely more aware. What about you, Charlemagne?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, you know, it's interesting, right, because all I need to see is one thing happen one time in order for me to think it's gonna happen to me, good or bad. I don't know. I don't know if I'm scared, though. And the reason I don't think I'm scared is because I just do math. You know, 45,000 flights happen in America a day. Like, just commercial flights, when we look at, you know, people use words like we say, all of these are a lot of. It's only been two commercial flights that have. This has happened to. And the flight that happened in D.C. that was the first time in what, 16 years or something like that.

[DJ Envy]

A long time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. And so still.

[DJ Envy]

Still scary, though. Like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But when you put about. When you think about it in context, 45,000 commercial flight flights a day. And two commercial flights have had some mishaps.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I get it. But that lady, think about the lady on that flight that texted her husband when she was on the way down, she was seven minutes from landing. That's the D.C. or the plane. The plane that landed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That.

[DJ Envy]

It actually. I just seen the video. It actually landed and then flipped over you. I've never heard of a plane flipping. That just seems wild.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, they said it was the win. I don't know what it was. You know what I'm saying? They landed in Toronto. Maybe they was listening to Drake and PND's album, didn't really like it. And the plane. Nobody died.

[DJ Envy]

What's wrong with you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm just. I'm just saying. I just want. People. Let's just put things in context, people.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But even what you said, envy when you said, like, how have. That a plane is heavy as hell. How would a gust of wind flip up? I mean, flip a plane over, like, is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, you're talking about an act of nature. Now, when God ready to flip some stuff over, he can flip stuff.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But I'm saying if it could flip a. A plane over, like, was there anything else damaged in that area? That's a. That's a plane, yo. Like, I mean that when commercial flight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That wind is taking trees out the ground. Nowadays, the wind is the one. This one ain't the win we grew up on. It's a different type of win. We talk about climate change and everything, but this wind is way stronger nowadays than it was back in the day. But I just want us to put things in perspective when we're going around saying things. Like, a lot in all of it's been two. Two commercial flights have had mishaps in 2025.

[DJ Envy]

Let's go to the phone.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Tell that to the flight attendants or the people.

[DJ Envy]

That's.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, just. Yeah, but I'm just saying, just because you ain't scared don't mean you gotta keep repeating it's 45,000 flights.

[Jess Hilarious]

Like, okay, put things in context.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We get that. But at the same time, these we need to put.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I understand what y'all saying.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Everybody died on a D.C. flight.

[Jess Hilarious]

Everybody died.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And that's horrible.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like, yeah, that is terrible.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I'm just saying we gotta put things in context because you still gotta fly. I still gotta fly. Everybody still gotta fly. 45,000 flights fly a day.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

But I will say this before we go to the phone calls, it makes me really think about when those flight attendants be doing a whole security spiel and the whole safety spiel. I don't be paying them no mind. But now I'm gonna be. I'm like, well, let me just double check, because even with the seatbelt, I see a lot of people that don't even put their seatbelt on. But could you imagine those people upside down with no seatbelt on?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I want to say. I want to say one more thing, because you said this earlier. Envy. And it's true. True. Not only is flying still the safest way to fly, there's way more accidents on the road. But we ain't scared to drive every day.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, I'm not, actually.

[DJ Envy]

That's my point, because I think you have more. You feel like you have more control driving like you're driving yourself, and you feel like you have more control when.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You can see what happens.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't have more than everybody else doing, you know. You know, you know, the act, you know, the things that scare me on the road is when you hear these accidents about, like, you're going through a light, like a green light, but somebody decided to run a red like that. Remember that incident that happened in California back in the day? That's the stuff I think about.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello? Who's this?

[Morgan Wood]

Hello, this is Malaysia.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, good morning. We're talking about. With the recent plane crashes, are you scared to fly, mama?

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, so I'm not. I'm not scared to fly. And the reason being is because I actually work in the aviation industry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I see planes going off. Yeah, I see planes going off every day.

[Jess Hilarious]

Planes are still going off. I will say, though, I've noticed, like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People aren't mindful of when to travel.

[Jess Hilarious]

Like, people are just worried about getting to where they want to get to. They're not really being mindful of. If you're flying to an area that has really bad weather. You know, sometimes it's okay to hold off a day or two before you want to get there or, you know, catch a flight there. A lot of people just come up to us, like, we need to get home now. We need to get there now. Is there another fight?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, they're not.

[Jess Hilarious]

They're not worried about their safety at all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can I ask you a question, since you work in aviation? You know, they announced that hundreds of FAA employees were fired by the Trump administration. What does that mean exactly?

[Jess Hilarious]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They talked about air traffic controllers.

[Jess Hilarious]

Air traffic controllers, ATC are the people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That are in charge of.

[Jess Hilarious]

They're like, basically police in the air that are in charge of the planes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To let them know, okay, you can go off, you're.

[Jess Hilarious]

You can land, or, all right, you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Got to go this way. They give them their route. They give them everything.

[Jess Hilarious]

Like, before you go off into the air, you have to contact air traffic control.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So they can give you a route to go to your destination.

[Jess Hilarious]

And they fired a bunch of those people. So they're kind of short staffed in that area and it is making it difficult for them because we need them like all captains and planes and airlines need a lot of air traffic controls.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because they're the ones who control.

[DJ Envy]

The world is constantly changing. It's up to you to decide how to respond. Choose to be bold to try something new. Choose to reinvent yourself.

[DJ Envy]

How goes lower?

[Jess Hilarious]

I met Santi at a luau party in October.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm Santi.

[Jess Hilarious]

Damian.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, it was bizarre. The guy just disappeared one day.

[Jess Hilarious]

Santi has been missing ever since. The hookup? What is that? I'm solving a mystery through sex and haven't made a private dick joke until now. Like, no matter how hard I try.

[DJ Envy]

All roads lead to the hookup.

[Jess Hilarious]

You think it's causing people to turn aggro?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm gonna rip your arms off and use them to.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, that's a word for it. This is such terrible representation. I'm so sorry. Poppers. These aren't just any poppers.

[DJ Envy]

Mama always used to say God gave.

[Jess Hilarious]

Me gumption in place of a gag reflex. No, my psychiatrist didn't laugh at that one either. Listen to the hookup on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is my legacy.

[Jess Hilarious]

Especially when there's weather, like, let's just.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Say if it's snowing, like it's been.

[Jess Hilarious]

Snowing in Boston up north a lot. And they're canceling all flights, like yesterday. And between yesterday and the day before yesterday, at least a thousand JetBlue flights were canceled going into Boston and coming out of Boston because it's like 2.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

3, 4ft of snow in Boston.

[DJ Envy]

They canceled a lot of flights in Boston. When I was coming back from my daughter's dance competition, people couldn't make it back. I drove back, but people couldn't make it back.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yep. So they're. They're in charge of helping us, making sure that we don't go into the air into bad weather, you know, and.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So why would they fire. That's what I'm saying. Why would you fire hundreds of these people and not have a replacement form?

[DJ Envy]

Makes no sense. Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's so about my work.

[Jess Hilarious]

But yeah, I'm not afraid to fly. I just say be mindful of when.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You'Re flying if you know there's going to be bad weather, just take a.

[Jess Hilarious]

Day or two and just wait.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, mama. But, but I will say this. I think we trust in them airlines to make those decisions for us. Right. Because we don't know how bad it is. So you know, we see snow, we see rain, we see wind. And we trust that those airlines will make the decision because they would know better than us, right? So if we get on that plane, we're thinking that they're making a decision to say, hey, we can fly you guys. The air, their safety. So it's hard for a person to do it, you know, and then.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But the crazy thing about it, that is when the airline canceled a flight, everybody mad. And then that's when you start trying to find other flights. That's what that lady was just saying. Like, maybe it's the reason that they cancel and like, chill out. Take that as a sign. But y'all go book other flights and find other ways to get there. You know what I mean? So.

[DJ Envy]

Well, 800-585-1051. We're asking, are you scared to fly? Call us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ and Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're opening up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Of course, there was a plane crash over the weekend in Toronto. Nobody died, thank God. The plane actually flipped upside down. So we're asking, with the recent plane crashes and close calls on the Runway, are you scared to fly? Hello, who's this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, how you doing, man?

[DJ Envy]

What's up, brother? We're asking, are you scared to fly?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Scared to fly. But every time I do get on the plane, it is very nerve wracking. I'm not saying, you know, I always.

[Jess Hilarious]

Just put that inside of God's hands. Most of the time I just pray.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And, you know, hopefully we get this safe and come on.

[Jess Hilarious]

Because when I get with loved ones.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That we get on these type of things, you know, when you get on, you gotta really just reconsequentially and put that in God's hands. Mostly that is true because I can't sit here and act like I'm any more concerned to fly than I was before all of this because is you're literally in a seat in the sky and I'm the guy that'll get on the plane, especially on long flights and give pilots Dunkin donut cards and you know what I mean? Literally, I do stuff like that to the pilots. Because your life is in these people's hands, right? So we're acting so concerned now. But when the last time you got off a plane and said, thank you, pilot, for getting us safely all the time.

[DJ Envy]

Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up, bro? You scared to fly?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now look, I ain't gonna lie. My first time flying was back in May of last year for my daughter's birthday. I was terrified. I was terrified. Where'd you go? I was sitting by the back of the ring. We went to Texas. They got that big Kalahari. The biggest Kalahari in the world.

[DJ Envy]

Yep.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was actually nice though. You feel me? But I sat by the window.

[Jess Hilarious]

That was my problem.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I was sitting like right behind the wing. I'm looking out the window, all I see is the wing flapping. I'm thinking final destination said the wing was flapp.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That is not what.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, that mother was moving, bro, like a bird. That mother was. It was shaking. You got on there high. No, look, I was. I was too sober. That was my problem. That mother was wobbling. But I'm trying to make it a. Like a yearly thing for my daughter birthday.

[Jess Hilarious]

Every year, try to take a plane.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Somewhere different just to show her something. She just turned four lashes. She be fish or something. Trying to make new memories with it. I like that.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, brother. I. I will say this too. You know, my dad was in the military and he. When he was in the military, he fixed planes and helicopters and he will not fly. My dad will not fly for. He just. He don't like flying. He's scared of. He just does not fly. I don't know if it's something that he's seen in military or, you know, whatever, but he will not fly. And he was Vietnam war. He will not fly. 82 years old. He will drive to Florida, he will drive to Vegas, he will drive to California, man. Hello? Who's this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning.

[Lauren LaRosa]

This is Ernest.

[DJ Envy]

Ernest, good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How are you guys doing? This water.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good.

[DJ Envy]

So in response, are you scared to fly this morning?

[Jess Hilarious]

Not at all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not at all. We got to understand these planes are man made. And you just got to have faith in God. When it's our time, it's our time. You know, flying is your main mode of transportation depending on your job, then that's what you got to do. It shouldn't have to worry anybody. I think Charlemagne said 45,000 flights a day and two incidents. I don't think there's too much to worry about. More than anything, I think these accidents should prove to the little orange dude that DEI is necessary. That. Why is that? Well, I'm assuming based off of the stuff I read, these. These pilots were not in fact black or white or, excuse me, black or women. But that they were white male pilots. I think in D.C. d.C. It was a woman. One of the pilots were a woman. Was a woman. One of them was a woman. Well, then I was missing for. I don't think. I don't think none of that matters, though.

[DJ Envy]

Like, that don't matter. It's your qualifications when it comes to flying by the classes you take, the amount of air time you have flying. I don't think that matters in this one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, you know, everything happens for a reason. That is true.

[DJ Envy]

All right, what's the moral of the story if there is a moral?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Guys, I don't know if there is a moral. I mean, I just think, like, you know what? Like, the woman said. Like the woman said. Who was the woman that called up and just said, like, you know, just be cautious of the circumstances. Like, be cautious of the weather and things like that. Like, that's the only thing I can think of. I don't. I don't.

[DJ Envy]

And she's right. And she's right. How many times have a flight been delayed and you upset and you're like, I gotta get another flight. Instead of saying, you know what? This is a sign. Let me just fall back. And sometimes we just, like you said, just take it. Yeah, sit your ass down and just see what happens, you know? All right, well, we got just. With the mess coming up. What are we talking about?

[Lauren LaRosa]

He said, Rocky tried to plead a family court in court. Rihanna came with the kids, but the prosecutors wasn't having it. They started fighting and all that stuff. Well, not fighting, but, you know, arguing. So we gonna get into that. Why?

[DJ Envy]

We'll get to that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to just. With the mess.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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

[Lauren LaRosa]

See something and understand something that nobody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Could get you to see. It's time to set it off.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So the prosecutors in the courtroom for asap and Relly was. They was about to squabble up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Huh?

[Morgan Wood]

They got into it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What was the problem?

[Morgan Wood]

Okay, so first of all, they were arguing. It was. It was during a break. ASAP's attorney, Joe Tepina, had just started his closing arguments. They took a break in between. And the prosecutors are basically saying, y'all are getting special to the judge. He's like, yo, you're giving him special treatment. Like, he says things that you should. That when I object to, you should be like, nah, he can't. You can't say that. That can't be said in front of a jury. They were arguing about perjury in Offset's attorney, saying that the prosecutor's office is with perjury, basically with their wishes. I'm sorry, ASAP's attorney.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You said offset in the court for no reason.

[Morgan Wood]

Because we're going. We're going there next. Sorry, y'all, but ASAP attorney. They were. The prosecutors are basically saying that ASAP's attorney gets special treatment and that ASAP's attorney accused the prosecutors of being down with perjury and letting their witnesses lie on the stand. Let's take a listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's unethical.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And this is a guy who of.

[Jess Hilarious]

The 9th Circuit just said lie to.

[Lauren LaRosa]

A jury in the rancor case.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

One more thing out of here, and we air everything that's happened in this case, which. Which the courts are wearing stuff he might want.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You should be Joe.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's. Let's take a break.

[Morgan Wood]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[Morgan Wood]

That was them getting into it. And it was. It was to the point where, like, Joe Taina, he took his jacket off like it was. And the judge had to be like, yo, I don't want to hear nothing from either one of y'all. Be quiet. The judge did admit, though, once they went back in and went through what Joe Tacopina, ASAP's attorney, said about perjury, that he should have stricken it from the record in front of jury. So he said that when a jury came back in, he would go back and fix that because he should have done it. So that was the first part of it. But then in the closing arguments for the prosecutor, they brought up Rihanna and the fact that the babies was. Was in court last week as well. Let's say that was the first time.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She bought the defendant.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah, Celebrity.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

His wife's an even bigger celebrity. Many of you know who they are. They brought in two adorable children yesterday for closing argument. Now, they haven't been here at any other time. And you have to ask yourselves, those kids have a right to be here. Why a children that age would be.

[Jess Hilarious]

Here in a situation like this? Don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you have to ask yourselves, am I going to let my feelings of.

[Jess Hilarious]

Not wanting to convict the defendant? If.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you convict him, it's going to be very difficult on the family. That is not something you are allowed consider. Huh?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Wow. You're not allowed to consider his main family, his kids?

[Morgan Wood]

Well, I mean, I think you should be allowed to consider it. And I know ASAP's attorney, he did some interviews following this, saying he's a family man regardless of who his wife is and who his kids is.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Basically saying, like, basically, it's the celebrity of it all. Yeah, they're favoring him.

[Morgan Wood]

They fed up with it. And they basically are saying that Rihanna brought the kids into court for that one time and at one time only to paint that picture because they. They know. She know. She knew closing arguments were happening.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Not to paint a picture like this. Not his real family.

[Morgan Wood]

That's what his attorney is saying. Like, bro, it's his family. I can't help who he is.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He rented these people. Like, these are paid actors or something.

[Morgan Wood]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I do want to drop on a clues bombs for ASAP's lawyer, but I like how he get busy in court. Act like we going to jail. All right. I like the passion. You know what I mean? Don't act like you just representing me and I'm just paying you act like we both might be going to jail.

[Morgan Wood]

Yo, he. He get busy. I mean, he. He's known for his close. His closing arguments and just being worked up like that. But when I say, you watch the video. He taking off his suit jacket. The ASAP takes off his suit jacket. I was watching, like, what they about to do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And I know other prosecutors looking like they not like us. I don't never do that. So you threw offset in there, but apparently you had something else to say. Yeah, because this Cardi been real hot and steamy, bro.

[Morgan Wood]

Sis was outside this weekend for Valentine's Day, and. Yeah, it was cute, though. I'm happy for her.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Morgan Wood]

This is the first time that we've seen Cardi B actually publicly date someone. She was outside over the weekend for Valentine's Day with Stefan Diggs. They were in Miami. There was video of them arriving back to the hotel around like 2am so they, you know, had a good time that day. And the. Yeah, like, she posted like, the photo of her. Her shoe stepping on rose petals earlier today. So we were already trying to figure out, like, so what's happening, like, who she spending Valentine's Day with. And then this video surface. And, you know, they were out together in New York prior to.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I was gonna say this ain't the first time that she's been out with Deep. Well, let me stop before somebody say diggy, but step on Diggs. Okay.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah, no, it's not the first time, but this is the first time they were in a section Full of people. So it's like you can play that off. Even though they were interacting, this time it's just them two. It's 2am they pulling up to the hotel Miami.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Thanks.

[Morgan Wood]

I mean, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day weekend, you know what that's giving like. Now we'll say Stephan Diggs has been a hot commodity this last, like, year. He's been the talk of the town. He's been out with some girls, but it seems like Cardi locked him down. There's this video that I like this for her, though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I like, I like the athlete for her.

[Morgan Wood]

I, I, I just like him for her. I feel like she, he gives the fashion vibe that she gives. People know him, so his celebrity is there as well too, which is what she's used to. And he seems like he just sit back and let her do her. Like, he seems very chill that we know of.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What I meant is like, you know, like his rapper. Rapper. Her, her ex husband is. What is it? Excisement or.

[Morgan Wood]

Oh, the, the, the, the one that she had coming up. Yeah, okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, but I'm saying. So she was with a rapper. But I like, I like athletes. Cardi.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah, okay. Yeah, Well, I will say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't want to hear none of this conversation y'all have.

[Lauren LaRosa]

[DJ Envy]

All right, all right. Well, thank you. That's just with the mess. Let's get to the People's Choice mix. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wake up, wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's Black History Month. What we doing? Charlemagne, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Every day during Black History Month, three month. My guy B. Dot, puts out an episode of I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either on the Black Effect iHeartradio podcast network. And today he's going to tell us the tale of the Children's March in 1963, when a bunch of kids showed up with more courage than most adults, proving that sometimes the youngest voices are the loudest and the most powerful. Let's discuss. But not these kids in Birmingham out Alabama. They weren't playing around, Jack. There was 1963 and Birmingham was the most racist city in the country. Segregation was everywhere. Schools, buses, bathrooms, water fountains. And I'm thinking, how racist do you have to be to hate somebody at a water fountain? You upset that they getting hydrated. It's silly. And the adults have been protesting for months. But the city wasn't budging. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And his crew that started quoting Jay Z. They said, we need more people. That's when James Bevel said, I've got a plan. Let's get the kids involved. Now. I don't know what parents sat down with a 10 year old and said, Listen, pack a lunch, baby. Cause you going to fight Jim Crow today.

[DJ Envy]

But they did it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And the kids, they showed up. Thousands of them left school and gathered at the 16th Street Baptist Church like it were recess. And instead of dodgeballs, they were like, hey, we gonna dodge dogs, fire hoses and billy clubs today. Seriously. That's some next level courage right there. We talking about kids now. Imagine being a racist police officer that day. You out here ready to fight, and then you see a group of 12 year olds chanting for freedom. What do you even do? Well, apparently if you're racist Birmingham Police in 1963, you turn into cartoon villains. They brought out fire hoses. Fire hoses to blast these kids off their feet. Unleash the dogs on them kids like it was a twisted Lassie episode. Old. Some of y'all don't remember Lassie. But here's the thing. Them kids didn't stop. They got arrested by the hundreds thrown in jail like it was a field trip to Alcatraz. And more kids just kept showing up. Day after day. They start putting on their swimsuits to prepare for the fire hoses. They marched, they sang, and they did not back down. Kids. And it worked. Cause the news saw them pictures. Kids getting hosed down and attacked by dogs. And the whole world saw them pictures. You Google Children's March of 1963 right now and you can see them pictures. Suddenly people just couldn't ignore the civil rights movement any longer. That Children's March of 1963 pushed momentum forward and led to the Civil Rights act of 1964. That's right. A bunch of kids in pigtails, cornrows and penny loafers helped change the laws. Now why we don't hear more about this? I think it's because adults don't like being shown up by the kids. Don't nobody want to admit that a 10 year old with a homemade sign had more guts than most of us do right now. But the lesson here is real. You ain't gotta wait till you're older or richer or more established to make an impact. These kids took risks because they believed in something bigger than themselves. So next time you think, what can I really do to change things? Just remember, if a bunch of kids with no smartphones, no hashtags, no TikTok followers can bring down segregation, what's stopping us? Let's all channel a little bit of 1963 energy, shall we? Black folks? Black folks, we channel. We don't need no white folks channeling 1963 energy because history don't just happen. It gets made. And sometimes it's made by people who ain't even old enough to drive. And I didn't know maybe you didn't either.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, happy Black History Month, man.
