DJ Envy
Yo, but so. Okay, so you got to trust them that they know the. The right amount of THC that they're actually putting in, because you could leave there and just be done.
- [04:31]
Jessica Hilarious
No, I know. But look, that's the thing. And I bought a pre roll, and it was $40, but it was 2 grams, right? So it was good. And. And they said they don't have a contract with a dispensary because they're not a dispensary. Yo, they got a contract with the farm.
- [04:43]
Charlamagne Tha God
The reason I know you hide because you're talking with your hands. Whenever you hide, you really talk with your hands just to direct the words out of your mouth the right way that.
- [04:52]

Charlamagne Tha God
Highly, highly, highly talented, very interesting young man. I've heard his music. I don't think I've ever heard him speak. I've never seen an interview with him. Not that he hasn't.

- [06:27]
Mimi Brown
Good morning, everyone. Happy Friday. Peace.
- [06:30]
Charlamagne Tha God
Mimi Brown.
- [06:30]
Jessica Hilarious
Hey, Mimi.
- [06:31]
Caller/Guest
Good morning.
- [06:32]
Mimi Brown
Okay, so we start this morning with new developments out of Minnesota and a major escalation from the White House. President Trump is now threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act. That is a rarely used law that would allow him to deploy federal troops inside Minnesota without the governor's consent. Now, the warning comes as protests continue in Minneapolis following another shooting involving a federal immigration officer, the second in just one week. And those protests, they erupted after a federal officer shot a Venezuelan man in the leg Wednesday night during what DHS describes as a targeted traffic stop. Now, they say the man fled, crashed his vehicle, he ran on foot and resisted arrest. During that struggle, two other people joined in. And the man who was shot, he is hospitalized with non life threatening injuries. Two others are in custody and the officer was taken to the hospital. Now, after several nights of unrest, the administration is now signaling it will not pull back. And Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says she has discussed the Insurrection act with the president and says everything is on the table. Let's listen to what she had to say. We did discuss the Insurrection Act. He certainly has the constitutional authority to utilize that. My hope is that this leadership team in Minnesota will start to work with us to get criminals off the streets. Remember, we are there and surged operations because of the largest fraud scheme in American history. We had people stealing from taxpayers, stealing funds away from the most vulnerable individuals in this country. People who needed mental health services, developmental services, autism daycare. Instead, individuals came in much from the Somalian community and stole dollars from those people who needed it and put it.
- [08:13]
DJ Envy
In their own pockets and enriched themselves.
- [08:15]
Mimi Brown
Did it right under Governor Walz's nose. And we believe that he didn't just know about it, that he may be complicit in it as well.
- [08:21]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's crazy to hear them say things, you know, complain about, you know, things like mental health care budgets getting cut when he just rolled back 2 billion in mental health and addiction services. 2 billion, by the way. I said billion. Right, 2 billion.
- [08:34]
Mimi Brown
And as they terrorize communities. Right.
- [08:36]
DJ Envy
So, you know, you know, my question was, I was watching the news yesterday and they were showing ICE agents run up on people and they were just saying, give me your id. And lady was like, I don't have to give you my id. I don't have to give you My id. And they went back and forth, right? And he was like, well, I'm gonna put you in the car, we're gonna identify you. It's like, I don't hack, I don't have to give you my id. And they wound up leaving it. But I was wondering, what's the Lord like? If, if do you have to give him your id? Do you have to show them identification?
- [08:58]
Jessica Hilarious
I thought you had to have like probable cause, you had to be doing something like, you know what I'm saying? Like, you can't just walk up to somebody and request to see the identification.
- [09:06]
Mimi Brown
Absolutely. Jess, you are, you're supposed to have probable cause. But right now, in this age, day and age, everything is really blurred. So, you know, they're saying that, you know, if you look the part, then we can stop you, we can arrest you or we can ask questions. However they feel is basically what's been going down in Minnesota.
- [09:22]
DJ Envy
Let's look the part.
- [09:23]
Jessica Hilarious
I was just about to say, what do you mean, look the part?
- [09:25]
Mimi Brown
Look the part. So they're looking for brown people, right?
- [09:29]
Charlamagne Tha God
Profile, straight racial profile.
- [09:30]
DJ Envy
That's just crazy. Latino getting pulled over, African getting pulled over, your Mexican is getting pulled over.
- [09:38]
Mimi Brown
Whatever they are pulling you over, they are stopping you. So there's a lot of that going on right now in Minnesota. And that's literally, you know what all the protests and the unrest that we've been seeing. And I wanted to say, because Krissy Noem in that soundbite, she said there Governor Walt may be complicit, but there is no evidence that Governor Waltz is complicit in any of that fraud activity. That's very important to say. And we want to mention that all of this is happening just one week after that ICE agent Jonathan Ross, he shot and killed Renee Good. She was a 37 year old US citizen. That was during a separate enforcement operation. Now, Governor Tim Walsh, though, he says that he has tried to contact President Trump directly, but he is now with no luck and he is now convening business leaders, members of Congress and other governors and community leaders in an effort to cool tensions. And course now Walt says this is no longer about immigration enforcement, but about public safety and stability. And still though the administration says that federal agents are staying put. And there are reports this morning that ICE officers are now stationed at airports and if people are attempting to flee the area, they could flee, face detention. Very, very affluent situation. And really quick, the president is rolling out a new push to lower health care costs, calling it the Great Health Care plan. Now, Trump says this is about bringing relief to families dealing with high drug prices and rising premiums. Let's listen to what he had to say.
- [11:04]
DJ Envy
I'm thrilled to announce my plan to lower health care prices for all Americans.
- [11:09]
Daniel Caesar
And truly make health care affordable again.
- [11:11]
DJ Envy
We're doing things that nobody's ever been able to do.
- [11:15]
Daniel Caesar
We're calling it the Great Health Care Plan.
- [11:18]
Charlamagne Tha God
Instead of putting the needs of big.
- [11:21]
Daniel Caesar
Corporations and special interests first, our plan.
- [11:24]
DJ Envy
Finally puts you first and puts more.
- [11:26]
Charlamagne Tha God
Money in your pocket.
- [11:28]
DJ Envy
The government is going to pay the.
- [11:30]
Daniel Caesar
Money directly to you.
- [11:32]
DJ Envy
I'm calling on Congress to pass this.
- [11:34]
Daniel Caesar
Framework into law without delay, by the way.
- [11:38]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's what people care about. I mean, if you really want to distract from the Epstein files, that's what you do. Put more money in people's pockets.
- [11:44]
Mimi Brown
Yeah, but I'm sure you know, with that. So there's a little digging that has to be done because this plan, it focuses on drug prices, insurance costs, transparency, and on prescriptions. Trump says that Americans should pay more of what people pay overseas for the same drugs. And his plan, though, it would allow consumers to buy those drugs directly through a new federal website, trumprx.gov We've spoken about this website before. He says that that will cut out the middleman, lock in those lower international rates. And he wants to cut. He wants more medications to be sold over the counter. Now, critics, though, they are pointing out there's a lot of things that this plan does not do. And I'm sure as Congress gets back into session and we move on from some of the other distractions that they will get into that, but it does not rest or the Affordable Care act subsidies that expired at the end of the year. And they said without those prices, no matter what we do will be high. So it's not a bill yet. It is a framework for the White House, and they want Congress to pass it into law.
- [12:39]
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, what you said about other distractions is so true, Mimi, man. Because all this chaos happening in Minnesota, I just want the Trump administration to know that none of this is going to make the economy better. None of that's going to bring down, you know, people's health care prices. None of that is going to stop food cost prices from rising. None of this will make the conversation about the Epstein files go, go away. All this chaos is not distracting from the. That they are doing a terrible job at governing. And the promise that Trump made to make things financially better for people on day one is not happening.
- [13:06]
DJ Envy
Yeah, all right.
- [13:08]
Mimi Brown
Exactly. All right, well, coming up at 7. Experts say one digital mistake is quietly becoming one of the biggest communication problems of our generation. We'll tell you what it is and why it keeps happening in the next hour.

Hello?
- [13:40]
Charlamagne Tha God
Who's this?
- [13:41]
Caller/Guest
Good morning, my Breakfast Club family. It's your boy Lovey from the Bronx.
- [13:46]
Charlamagne Tha God
Love you from the Bronx. What's happening?
- [13:47]
Caller/Guest
How's my family doing?
- [13:49]
Charlamagne Tha God
Good, brother Black and highly favored, sir.
- [13:51]
Caller/Guest
I just want to touch because I forget how much we have in common. When Envy and Peyton went through that, bro, I wanted to call you directly because my son had a fever seizure when he was 2 years old. I was in tears all the way to the hospital in the ambulance. We had to stay in the hospital for a week. So, like. Like Envy said, monitor your kids, especially when they. At this time, I don't know. Envy, I don't know if you was a kid, bro, but I really. I couldn't stand up for, like, two days.
- [14:22]
DJ Envy
Yeah, I tell everybody the reason we told the story is we just really want to make sure parents, you know, even though sometimes the physicians and doctors say something, you know your kids better than anybody else, and, you know, you know how your kids act, how they move, what they do. And like, I tell everybody, if. If my wife didn't grab my daughter when. When we were sleeping and. And felt something, I mean, who knows what could have happened, you know? I mean, she could have had a seizure where she had brain damage. She could have been dead.
- [14:46]
Charlamagne Tha God
We don't know.
- [14:47]
DJ Envy
I'm gonna say it could have, but I'm. That's what I'm saying. You have to. When you know, you gotta. You. You just gotta stay on top of it. You know, sometimes the positions, they're wrong. Like, they're not right 100 of the time. So, yeah, you. You know your kids better than anybody else, and that's why. And. And the sad thing about it, Lovely Lovey, is so many people DM me talking about the same thing happened to their child or they lost their child because of it, or their child has some type of damage because of it. So it's like, it's something that we just need to talk about more so parents are aware because I have six kids and that was the first time that that has ever happened to anybody in my family. You know what I mean? So, like, I didn't know what, like, we didn't know what to do. It was just like, go to emergency room. Like, I had no clue. So, you know, those are the things that we just need to discuss. So other parents know, be aware.
- [15:33]
Caller/Guest
Yeah. Luckily, my sister was a nurse, so I tapped into her, you know, they was trying to say, like you said, like, he has seizures. I'm like, my son don't have no seizures. We don't have any other seizures in our family. So like you said, as parents, we know our children best. So don't let no doctors trick you out your game. That's all. I call the state because me, I was in the ambulance. I ain't gonna hold you. I was cr. Thinking of all the dirt I did. Like, God, please don't take my baby from me for the dirt I did. You heard?
- [15:59]
DJ Envy
Yeah. And I don't wanna. I don't wanna attack doctors because the doctors are doing the best that they can. Like, even with the. With the fevers and what happened, you know, if they get 100 kids, they might have one case like this. So usually they just recommend what the. The norm is, what the usual is. And I mean, the doctors, they. They fought and they tried and they. They try to make sure it's right. But I like, I tell everybody out there, please, you know, just. Just watch your kids. You know, your kids better than anybody else.
- [16:22]
Caller/Guest

ASAP Rocky's don't be Dumb is finally here. Long awaited album has dropped. Now, there are a few good songs on the album. I haven't got fully through it yet, but there is one song in particular that people are pointing to because you guys know Drake and ASAP Rocket been beefing for some time. They always trade shots. Well, he threw some more shots. Drake's away. Let's take a listen to ASAP Rocky talking about Drake. Drake's BBL on Stole your flow.
- [24:35]
Charlamagne Tha God
How y' all know guys about Drake? I'm just asking. I don't know. I didn't. I didn't hear what was.
- [24:38]
Angela Yee
Well, he's talking about a rapper with bbls. He's talking about stow your flow and stealing a flow, instilling somebody's girl. There's always been that. And he's had that conversation before about the whole him feeling like Drake kind of took some things from him. And then we know he's with Rihanna. That's what you know.
- [24:54]
DJ Envy
That was the room.
- [24:55]
Angela Yee
You remember that.
- [24:56]
DJ Envy
I feel like you've made your.
- [24:58]
Charlamagne Tha God
Every time I hear something about ASAP Rocky's music, is him dissing Drake like this is. Does anybody ever be like, Yo, ASAP's music is just good? I don't never hear that anymore. I don't ever hear me like, yo, Rocky, just put out a hot record. All I hear is no Rocky diss Drake. And then somebody will play it and then you'll listen and be like, okay.
- [25:13]
Angela Yee
There'S more to the album than. Than just that. But also too ASAP Rocky was on a podcast podcast, which is a New York Times podcast where they talk about culture things. And he talked about his issue with Drake and what podcast? Pop cast.
- [25:24]
DJ Envy
Oh, popcast.
- [25:25]
Angela Yee
Yes. Let's take a listen to ASAP Rocky on the. On his issue with Drake or the Drake beef.
- [25:31]
Charlamagne Tha God
This record's called Stole youe Flow, where.
- [25:34]
Ad Voice (Commercials)
You'Re like not taking so kindly to people biting you.
- [25:38]
Charlamagne Tha God
So obviously the Internet's gonna decide who you're talking about on that song, I.
- [25:43]
DJ Envy
Think we all know they're gonna say it's Drake.
- [25:45]
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, that's a man who was with you in those early days too, brought you on tour. Where did things go wrong in that relationship?
- [25:53]
Daniel Caesar
I don't know. I don't know.
- [25:54]
DJ Envy
I just. I started just seeing people who just started out as friends and just became foes. Seemed like they was unhappy for you and. And, you know, started sending shots. And I think that's what led to any of our misunderstandings or whatever the case is. It really ain't smoke.
- [26:09]
Daniel Caesar
Does it feel resolvable to you or you think it's too hard? Nah, it don't even need to be like, for what?
- [26:14]
Charlamagne Tha God
But you're like, no secret. Like, that song's for him.
- [26:16]
DJ Envy
Whoever feel like it's about them.
- [26:19]
Charlamagne Tha God
What rappers have stole Rocky's flow.
- [26:23]
DJ Envy
What's the flow?
- [26:24]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, what's the flow? That's a great question. What's the flow at what's the flow?
- [26:28]
DJ Envy
They've been saying that for a while when the whole A side mob actually came out. They say that they came out with their own style, and a lot of.
- [26:34]
Charlamagne Tha God
Artists, they definitely came out with their own style.
- [26:37]
DJ Envy
Of ways of doing it. I guess he feels Drake is taking his place.
- [26:41]
Charlamagne Tha God
I ain't never heard Drake and be like that sound like Rocky.
- [26:45]
Jessica Hilarious
Now I would say I. He said fur gotta flow like I. I can hear him and instantly know it's him.
- [26:50]
Angela Yee
Do you listen to ASAP Rocky? Because I feel like a lot of people talk about ASAP Rocky's music, but they don't really listen to it.
- [26:55]
Jessica Hilarious
Like, I've listened to his older music. I haven't gotten to the album. I. You know.
- [26:59]
Charlamagne Tha God
But you listen to it long.
- [27:00]
Angela Yee
I do. And I listen to this. I haven't got fully through it, but I listened to this.
- [27:04]
Charlamagne Tha God
So what's the flow that Drake stole from Rocky?
- [27:06]
Jessica Hilarious
I don't.
- [27:07]
Angela Yee
I think it's just the, you know how Drake has that. That. That vibe and that energy of like, I'm the hottest in the room. I mean, every rapper has it, I guess. So maybe that's not Ace at Rockies. Maybe it is. I don't know.
- [27:16]
DJ Envy
I wouldn't. Yeah, I'm curious. Drake uses everybody's type of flow. Like, he'll. He'll sound like too short on the record. He'll sound like somebody from the bay. Well, he is from the Bay, but some more artists from the bay go.
- [27:27]
Jessica Hilarious
Caribbean a little bit.
- [27:27]
DJ Envy
He'll go Caribbean, Canadian. Yeah. Then he'll sound Like Latina Tory Lo. Yeah, he kind of goes every which way.
- [27:33]
Charlamagne Tha God
I would love to be educated. I just don't. I don't personally hear a lot of people sounding like ASAP Rocky out here. I just. I mean, educate me if I'm missing something, people, please.
- [27:43]
Angela Yee
Well, you asked if there were other records on the album other than Drake stuff, so. There is. There's a song called Playa, which is one of my favorites on the album. I mean, in that record, he's actually talking about it being Playa, that he's with one woman, he's taking care of his kids, and he talks.
- [27:57]
Charlamagne Tha God
I agree with that.
- [27:58]
Angela Yee
He talks a lot about that in his interview with popcast as well. Talking about Rihanna, how she changed his life and just where things are now. Let's take a listen to ASAP Rocky on Rihanna.
- [28:07]
DJ Envy
A woman will change your whole life, especially if it's a companion. Before I had my children, it was.
- [28:13]
Daniel Caesar
Like being with my girl.
- [28:14]
DJ Envy
Took a blindfold off.
- [28:15]
Daniel Caesar
As soon as you get with a.
- [28:17]
DJ Envy
Girl, she'll tell you, like, that's not your friend. That's.
- [28:20]
Daniel Caesar
That's your friend.
- [28:20]
DJ Envy
Nah.
- [28:21]
Charlamagne Tha God
And to be clear, you didn't just.
- [28:22]
Ad Voice (Commercials)
Get with any girl.
- [28:24]
Daniel Caesar
I know.
- [28:25]
DJ Envy
I know. I got with a very special woman. It was just like we were on the same page. Born the same year. My dad is from her country. When I go back, I get to see both sides, sides of my family. It's so many similarities.
- [28:37]
Daniel Caesar
It's just funny.
- [28:38]
DJ Envy
We laugh about it a lot. She was always my boo, you know what I'm saying? Like, I always with her. My mother used to say, like, I know you like this girl that you with right now. I ain't gonna say no names, but I want you with Riri. It's like, mom, why you keep saying that? Yeah, that girl don't even, like, want me like that. Like telling you she real and mothers know best.
- [28:58]
Daniel Caesar
I'm.
- [28:59]
DJ Envy
I'm thankful that, you know, she was putting in my life at that time, because I think anytime prior to that, you know, I don't think I was ready for something like that.
- [29:07]
Charlamagne Tha God
So drop a clue bombs for Rocky. I absolutely 100 agree with him on that. Does he have any songs on the album Reflecting?
- [29:12]
Angela Yee
Yeah, the song I just said I. And again, I haven't listened to the full album, so there may be more. But Playa, we don't have it cut. But Playa is that song that you can listen to and he talks about it.
- [29:22]
Charlamagne Tha God
Is Playa to be a one woman.
- [29:23]
Angela Yee
And it's just a Vibe. Like the song itself is a vibe. But then when you get into the actual lyrics, you're like, oh, okay, Rocky.
- [29:28]
Charlamagne Tha God
Like now I will say he's starting arguments this morning, though, because it's a woman out there getting cheated on listening that screaming on her boyfriend. See, why you can't be more like Rocky. Why you can't be more like Rocky. And now that man got to look at her and be like, Cause you ain't Rihanna.
- [29:42]
Angela Yee
But maybe that man not in the right part of his life either. That's a big thing that it said. Rocky said he had to be. He also talked about like, he was dealing with so many women at one point that it just became empty. He said he had to get to the place where he was like, nah, this is like he's.
- [29:55]
Charlamagne Tha God
Listen, like, I'm just.
- [29:57]
Angela Yee
I'm not with this no more.
- [29:58]
Charlamagne Tha God
Listen, when the young man. Righty, right? Right.
- [30:00]
Angela Yee
Yeah. Well, as we wrap, he figured it.
- [30:02]
DJ Envy
Out right on time.
- [30:04]
Angela Yee
What you mean right on time?
- [30:05]
DJ Envy
Well, he figured it out right on time. He dropped all those other women and.
- [30:08]
Charlamagne Tha God
And that's right.
- [30:09]
DJ Envy
And stayed with R. Had children, had his family, three kids.
- [30:12]
Angela Yee
He said right on time. It sound like his like, you know, he was being like, threatened, like, you better get it together. I think he just figured it out cuz he loved her.
- [30:19]
DJ Envy
No, nobody else took it like that but you.
- [30:21]
Angela Yee
Maybe that triggered me, I don't know.
- [30:23]
Charlamagne Tha God
By the way, God. By the way, God in the universe can threaten you. You can know in your own heart and head, like, yo, I'm not doing right and if I don't start moving right, man, bad things are gonna start happening.
- [30:31]
Angela Yee
That' what he. I mean, not exactly verbatim, but that is the.
- [30:35]
DJ Envy
Figured it out right on time.
- [30:36]
Angela Yee
Yeah. Yeah. Well, speaking of figuring it out, right on time or not. So we talked a bit about the influencers, Christy Scott and Desmond Scott the other day in here.
- [30:44]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yo.

Angela Yee
There has now been a video released of Desmond Scott in a bar kissing a lady. And we're gonna. We gonna get into the things next hour.

- [32:09]
Charlamagne Tha God
Dallas Cowboy. Yeah, that ain't gonna happen.
- [32:11]
DJ Envy
That ain't gonna happen.
- [32:12]
Charlamagne Tha God
I think for some reason, I don't know, I got a feeling about the Bills for some reason.
- [32:16]
DJ Envy
Reason I like that.
- [32:17]
Charlamagne Tha God
But that don't mean anything because I've had a feeling about the Cowboys for the past 28 years. So don't listen to me.
- [32:20]
DJ Envy
I don't know, for some reason, I think the 49ers. But anyway. What's up, Mimi?
- [32:24]
Mimi Brown
Good morning. Envy, Jess, Charlemagne. How y' all doing this morning?
- [32:27]
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, Mimi Brown.
- [32:28]
Mimi Brown
Good morning. So we start this hour in Washington where there's new pushback this morning after comments from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins about food affordability. Now, Rollins argued that the administration has run simulations showing that it's possible to eat healthy without spending more and even claimed food prices are going down. Now, in an interview, Rollins suggested that families can follow the administration's new dietary guidelines and keep costs down by eating what she described as a three dollar meal. Let's listen is while we're asking Americans.
- [33:01]
Jessica Hilarious
To reconsider what they're eating, are we actually asking Americans, especially those who are living on the margins, are we asking them to spend more on their diet? And the answer to that is no. We've run over a thousand simulations. It can cost around $3ameal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, you know, corn tortilla, and one other thing. And so There is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money.
- [33:28]
Charlamagne Tha God
Where. Where can you get chicken and broccoli and a tortilla for $3? Like, wait, yeah, I don't know where you get that. There's no value meal in America that is doing that for $3.
- [33:37]
DJ Envy
That's not fast food. Nowhere. I mean, McDonald's is not nine, $10 dollars. Popeyes is 15.
- [33:43]
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, I own Crystal franchises. I think the, the meal that we have, that's the lease is 4.99. That's two Crystal Burgers, small fry, and a small drink. Damn, that's good.
- [33:53]
Mimi Brown
That's really good. Yeah. And notice she said a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli. Right. And so House Democrats, or excuse me, the ways, the ways House and committee, they, along with several Democratic law maker lawmakers, they posted online several Images mocking the $3 mill, showing just how out of touch the administration is with everyday grocery prices. Now, federal data, though, it shows that grocery prices, they rose again in December with beef, chicken, excuse me, brief coffee, produce, all getting more expensive. As families, you know, we're already stretched thin. Rent, gas, childcare, health care costs. Now, until they argue that telling struggling families to get by on a $3 plate runs hollow, especially as the Trump administration signs off on billions of dollars in spending elsewhere. Now, these comments, they come as the administration is rolling out those new federal dietary guidelines that are shaping school lunches and government nutrition programs. These changes, they want to focus more on whole food, less sugar, and bringing whole milk and 2% milk back into schools. But online, they are getting ripped really bad with Americans complaining and saying that they, they don't understand. And, and what they're saying does not line up with how much it actually costs to put dinner on the table right now.
- [35:10]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, when they say things like this, I'm like, who are they talking to? Like, when they say food prices are coming down, who are they talking to? Like, and they don't realize how ridiculous they sound because everything healthy costs. I go to a juice bar every day and spend like $60. My wife be like, stop doing that. We gonna make this at the house.
- [35:26]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
- [35:28]
Mimi Brown
Definitely for sure. And switching gears here, Arkansas is making a major change inside its prison system. So starting February 1st, inmates in Arkansas prisons will no longer be allowed to receive books, magazines, or other printed materials directly from the outside, even if it was sent from a publisher, a bookstore, or a nonprofit. State correction officials say the goal is safety, specifically keeping drugs and other contraband out of prisons. Let's listen to what they have to say.
- [35:55]
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, we have found that printed materials, books, magazines, newspapers, is one of the top ways that illegal drugs are getting into the facility. A lot of these pages are soaked in K2. They're soaked in these illegal drugs. When you're getting 400 page books that are being sent in, we can't test every single page of every single book.
- [36:14]
DJ Envy
And so this is what it is.
- [36:16]
Charlamagne Tha God
It's nothing against trying to hurt the freedoms of inmates. It is a safety issue trying to make sure that we're doing everything we can to keep that contraband out. Yeah.
- [36:27]
Mimi Brown
And the Department of Corrections, they say inmates won't be cut off from reading altogether. Each prison will still have a library and inmates can request books through librarians or chaplains. And donated books from libraries and bookstores will still be accepted, but everything, of course, will be screened before it reaches inmates. But some people are pointing out that this is a blanket ban, warning that access to books matter, especially for rehabilitation. So they will, they will continue to monitor that and see how that looks for those inmates and sort of like a model for, for other prisons around the country. And if you are a parent, this one is for you. If your kids are glued to YouTube shorts and stuck in that endless scroll, the platform is rolling out a new parental control designed to give you more say. So YouTube now lets parents limit or completely shut off shorts for teens. So if you supervise your child's account, you can set daily short limits anywhere from two hours to zero minutes. Now YouTube is adding bedtime reminders and take a break alert. They're building on screen time tools that already exist for children under 18. The changes come as more parents and lawmakers, they are raising concern about short form videos, warning that they're built to keep kids hooked and can be especially addictive for teens. Jess, what about your son? Do you ever notice, do you allow him to go on YouTube and scroll or how does that look for your family?

Yeah, but he, Ashton is not, he's not on the phone all day though, because he does other things. Like, you know, like he likes to read. He, he's into football. He, he exercises. He works out with a physical trainer. You know, I mean, so he got his own, you know what I'm saying? He got his own thing now. He does scroll, but his scrolling. He don't, he don't, he don't do it excessively, probably. I would say like a few hours out the day.
- [38:12]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, we don't need that just for teens either. We need that for adults. Because I hate when I daddy. I hate when I dad. Scroll. And it just happens. It's like going in your room looking for something, and then you forget what you came in there for, and then you start doing something else. That's how I feel sometimes when I go on Instagram and then you look.
- [38:25]
Jessica Hilarious
Up and it's like, damn, it's two hours later.

DJ Envy
But I noticed with my kids, they. They specifically look for something like. Like my girls, they look for dancers. So they'll be watching other dancers dance.

- [40:12]
Daniel Caesar
Spurgee.
- [40:12]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
- [40:13]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah, that's my dad's. My dad's nickname. He's from Jamaica. He Likes to. Anytime he's talking, he'll. He'll go into a sermon at any moment. There's a famous preacher called Charles Spurgeon, so they. They called him Spurgeon.
- [40:26]
DJ Envy
You.
- [40:26]
Charlamagne Tha God
When he was young.
- [40:27]
DJ Envy
I wanna. I wanna go back a little bit, if y' all don't mind. For people that don't know who Daniel Caesar is, you're from Canada. And tell. Tell everybody how you got into the music industry and. And your background, your. Your father, you said, is Jamaican. And break it down a little bit for people that don't know.
- [40:43]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah, my. My. My dad was a singer back in Montego Bay when he was. No, Well, I mean, he always sang in the church since he was little.
- [40:51]
Jessica Hilarious
My.
- [40:52]
Daniel Caesar
My grandmother heard that he could sing from school, and she's like, if you're not singing church, I'll beat your ass. So. But he was, like, doing dinner music and stuff at hotels. Jamaican tourism industry. And so he ends up in Canada, meets my mom from Barbados, and they both meet in Canada, and. And then I'm like, singing. When I was little, it's kind of just. It's kind of just all. I used to just run around the house. I used to play by myself a lot. I would just, like, sprint up and down the house, and I'd be singing to myself or whatever. And then. Yeah. And then high school came around. They started smoking weed and going. Friends have studios, and. It's a long story. It's a long story. But, yeah, around, like, high school, I got kicked out of school. And I was like. It was around that time where I was like, the way this whole thing is set up, like, I'm not about to. I hate school. I'm really bad at school. I don't enjoy school. And then I was like, oh, my God, one day I'm gonna finish school, and then I'm gonna have to get a job.
- [41:46]
Jessica Hilarious
Job.
- [41:46]
Daniel Caesar
And that's, like, school, too. So I'm like, am I gonna do this rest of my life? And I'd rather die.
- [41:51]
Jessica Hilarious
Jesus Christ.
- [41:52]
Daniel Caesar
No, I'm serious, though. I saw.
- [41:54]
Charlamagne Tha God
You don't really feel like that. You felt like that at the time. You didn't want to die.
- [41:58]
Daniel Caesar
No, I don't.
- [41:58]
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't.
- [41:59]
Daniel Caesar
No, no, I didn't mean that literally. I would rather die. I don't want to die. I'm gonna do what I want.
- [42:03]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.

Daniel Caesar

- [42:07]
DJ Envy
Okay.
- [42:07]
Jessica Hilarious

- [42:08]
Daniel Caesar
I don't just want to die for. No, no. If you're Gonna make me do something I don't want to do. I. I'll give me liberty or give me death. You know what I mean?
- [42:14]
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, okay.
- [42:14]
Jessica Hilarious
Okay.
- [42:15]
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
- [42:15]
Charlamagne Tha God
That was like revolution, though. Not like, you know, I mean, sometimes.
- [42:19]
Daniel Caesar
Being alive is a revolutionary act that is very, like, you know, true. People don't want you. They're trying to control you or make you be something.
- [42:26]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah, that.
- [42:28]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah. Yeah.
- [42:29]
DJ Envy
So is it true that your dad kicked you out the house and that's when you really took it serious?
- [42:32]
Daniel Caesar
No, my dad did not kick me out of the house when my dad did, which I respect.
- [42:37]
DJ Envy
As.
- [42:37]
Daniel Caesar
As time passed, of course, he was like, you're not just gonna sit around here and. And sing songs and not go to university.
- [42:45]
DJ Envy
And he had a heavy Jamaican accent, I'm sure.
- [42:47]
Daniel Caesar
So it was only when he's angry, he actually has a great telephone voice for getting jobs and stuff like that.
- [42:52]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
- [42:53]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah. He's like, you're not just gonna sit around here in my house and, like, not participate in this world that's going on outside the way that we think you should. So I was like, oh, okay, then I'll, you know, you. He's very strong willed. I'm also very strong willed. So I was like, okay, I'll live outside. It's honestly, you know, it's crazy. I think if I was alive, like, I don't know, 500 years ago, I would have been like a pirate or a vagabond or something, you know? I mean.
- [43:20]
Charlamagne Tha God
So you want to be homeless?
- [43:22]
Daniel Caesar
I didn't want to be homeless. I just didn't want to do anything that I didn't want to do.
- [43:26]
Charlamagne Tha God
But I'm saying, where you. Did you leave the house and go be homeless, though?
- [43:29]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah, I was. I was like, couch surfing. You have friends and then there's always a home to. It's just like, I was very strong willed, so it's like, there's always a home to go back to, but I have to go back under my father's rules and my father's. You know what I mean? I respect it.
- [43:44]
Charlamagne Tha God
Respectfully. You have a homeless aesthetic, but, I.
- [43:46]
Daniel Caesar
Mean, it's probably a thing going on.
- [43:49]
Charlamagne Tha God
No, no, no.
- [43:50]
Jessica Hilarious
I love you, bro. It's definitely not your hair. I love your hair.
- [43:52]
Daniel Caesar
No, it's.
- [43:52]
Charlamagne Tha God
Why?
- [43:52]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah, no, I did it on purpose.
- [43:55]
Jessica Hilarious
You are not strong willed. You are stubborn. That's what it was. You're stubborn as hell because you told your dad. How old were you when you. When your dad gave you that ultimatum?
- [44:05]
Daniel Caesar
17.
- [44:05]
Jessica Hilarious
Okay.
- [44:06]
Angela Yee
That's around the Age where you, like, think you know all the things.
- [44:10]
Daniel Caesar
I mean, from my perspective, it turns out I did know. You know what I mean? Because he was telling me I wasn't wrong.
- [44:15]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Gotcha.
- [44:17]
Daniel Caesar
And I believe. And I also believe, like, they raised. They didn't raise a dummy. Right. So it's kind of like I think everybody deep down knows what they should be doing, and then the universe is going to keep throwing things at you to suggest that you shouldn't be doing that.
- [44:31]
Jessica Hilarious
Gotcha.
- [44:31]
Daniel Caesar
To scare you. And, like, being homeless or being poor is very scary.
- [44:37]
Charlamagne Tha God
Did you sing for, like, change and stuff?
- [44:39]
Daniel Caesar
No. No.
- [44:40]
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, okay. It wasn't a corner. No.
- [44:43]
Daniel Caesar
I don't want to. Don't overdramatize it. I had. I was a dishwasher.
- [44:48]
DJ Envy
Just went on.
- [44:48]
Angela Yee
On his own and figured it out.
- [44:49]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah, figured it out.
- [44:50]
Angela Yee
Yeah.
- [44:50]
Charlamagne Tha God
But I want to hear about the signs that told you you should be singing. I know the signs that, you know, told you the things you shouldn't have been doing. But what were the signs that showed you you should be singing?
- [44:59]
Daniel Caesar
My. I remember in. I went to, like, this. This boarding school, like, Christian Academy. And so on Friday nights it was Seven Day Adventist, so on Friday nights we would have vespers, kind of like Shabbat sort of situation. And I remember it was around that time when I was like, all right, I used to play sports. And I was like, all right, right. I'm not that great at sports. So I started singing and playing the piano, and they had me perform at vespers, and I sang this song. And I not even joke. I feel like 30% of the. Of the people in the audience were, like, sobbing. And it was cool. It was very. And it was like, guys, girls, some guys who. Their whole thing was like, I'm tough. Tough guy, like, whatever. And I was like, oh, this is interesting. You know, like, the power was. Was. I was like, oh, this is what I'm good at. I'm useful at this. I'm valuable when I do this, so why not just do this so I can feel valuable all the time? You know what I mean?
- [46:03]
DJ Envy
Did your pops. When did your pops come back and be like, you made the right decision? Or has that not happened yet?
- [46:08]
Charlamagne Tha God
It has.
- [46:09]
Daniel Caesar
And I mean, probably, like, I've played some pretty big shows. You know, they were at Madison Square Garden. That was one of them. Probably when we did in Toronto, Budweiser stadium or not stadium. It's not a stadium. It's a amphitheater. But it was just all those people Singing the songs. And here he was like, okay, I.
- [46:30]
DJ Envy
I got it now.
- [46:31]
Charlamagne Tha God
And you honor them. You honor them, you know, by naming your album Son of Spurgeon. His face on the COVID Yeah.
- [46:35]
Jessica Hilarious
How does he feel about that?
- [46:37]
Daniel Caesar
You know what? He's so. He's just such a. Interesting guy. He's so cool. But what he did. I put out a letter talking about my experience with him before that came out. And that was the thing that really got him emotionally. But he's. You know what I mean? He's not like, yeah, I'm your dad.
- [46:57]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, you should.
- [46:57]
Daniel Caesar
You spell time. You put me on.
- [47:00]
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, you've been very open about, like, your struggles with identity and faith and self worth. I wonder at this point in your life, who. Who is Daniel Caesar still unlearning to do?
- [47:11]
Daniel Caesar
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I internalize everything. So that's kind of how I move to the world. I kind of. I think it's like. Cuz my dad is such a. He's an immovable force. So if I want something and I want to change his mind, you just can't. So when people exhibit behaviors around me in the world, I just assume that that's who they are. I don't like. I don't believe in, like, hey, what you did made me feel this way. And maybe you could change it, but no, that's who you are. I'm either gonna. And then it's like, I don't like that. Because then the next time you do it, I either have to be like, all right, I guess I'm just gonna take it now, or I'm eventually, I'm just gonna have to separate from you, you know? So that sort of confrontation, it's like people are gonna be who they are until you decide what you're gonna do about it. And it's. It's. There's violence or there's emotional violence, or there's running away.
- [48:05]
Charlamagne Tha God
Detachment. Yeah.
- [48:05]
Daniel Caesar
Or detachment. And so I just always kind of went through the world like, some people are like this, some people are like that. Then you internalize it. And then I put the responsibility on myself. How am I going to get around this? How am I going to not let that stop me from where I'm trying to go? But then you don't realize what you sacrifice in yourself by not. Not addressing some things when they happen in front of you. You know what I mean? And it's like. And then you real. Like, I am a crash out, you know, and sometimes it kind of Just jumps out of me at the wrong times because I'm not addressing the things when I'm supposed to address them, you know, and then you're just like. And you sometimes. And then you, you think that makes you a good person by not trying to control other people. And then the weight becomes too much and then you, you, you, you crash out and then you're like, damn, I wonder how many times I've hurt people that I care about because I was living my life in this way that I thought was right. You know what I mean? Because it usually you, you go to work, then your, your, your ass boss or whatever is, is he's putting on you, and then you take it and then you go home and then your kid asks you for the new PlayStation and you yell at him.
- [49:23]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
- [49:23]
Daniel Caesar
You know?
- [49:24]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
- [49:25]
Daniel Caesar
And so it's just kind of like the context of the world we live in. It's just like it is capitalism. It is like somebody's gotta get screwed. At the end of the day, it's exploitation. This whole is built off of exploitation. Someone's gotta get it. And usually it's the weakest, most genuine, kindest, friendliest person.
- [49:43]
Charlamagne Tha God
I wonder why you internalize, I guess, other people's bull. Cause you know, I love the four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz and one of his agreements is don't take anything personally because, because usually when somebody does some, you would have nothing to do with you and exactly to what you just said, something that's going on with, with them 100%.
- [50:02]
Daniel Caesar
But then sometimes it's also like pattern recognition, you know, like, why do you.
- [50:08]
Charlamagne Tha God
Keep attracting these type of people?
- [50:09]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah, it's like, what about me makes it feel like because, because I. Because it's, it's almost naivete where it's like, oh, if I go around through the world and I treat people with respect, respect, then people respect me.
- [50:21]
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
- [50:21]
Daniel Caesar
Isn't that how it works? And then you're like, oh, no, sometimes you have to make people scared of you. And it's, it's a Machiavellian, like, fear is stronger than love, you know?
- [50:30]
Angela Yee
Is there a part of it too that like, maybe is there like a longing for something from those people? Because like you mentioned patterns. And are those patterns hurting you when you continue to see them happening? Because you're trying to figure out why you're not worthy of that changing.
- [50:43]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah, I think that's very good.
- [50:46]
DJ Envy
I think so.
- [50:46]
Angela Yee
Did you mention your relationship with your dad a lot?
- [50:49]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah.
- [50:49]
Angela Yee
And in your letter you talk about how he would warn you through. He would talk to you through stories and warn you about how the world was. And he's like, very stern and very strong. Somewhere in there, it feels like, you know, there was a longing for something that you wanted from him that he tried to give you, but it wasn't like his approval.
- [51:05]
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
- [51:05]
DJ Envy
His dad.
- [51:05]
Angela Yee
Yeah, yeah.
- [51:06]
Daniel Caesar
Which is the oldest story, of course. You know what I mean? And it's just, just.
- [51:10]
DJ Envy
But this.
- [51:11]
Daniel Caesar
This record. 100 true. And this record is kind of just like. I know that man very well, and in all things, he tries very hard. You know what I mean? He's a very principled man. He's an honest man. But just some things, you know, like, Dad's dry, but there's just some things that. Okay, my actual. This is all connected, I promise. My actual real theory of real beef is just like. Does it ever feel like. Like the new. The way that we structure societies in the west, the nuclear family. Does it ever feel like that's not natural to people? Like. Like, you know what I mean? Like all the. All the people that I know that are good at monogamy are good at, you know, just that sort of nuclear family are white, you know, and so I'm just, just.
- [52:02]
Charlamagne Tha God
I disagree with that.
- [52:03]
DJ Envy
What do you mean?
- [52:03]
Daniel Caesar
No, all the people I. I'm talking about personally through my life. You know what I mean? It's so much responsibility to put on one man in a house.
- [52:13]
Charlamagne Tha God
What, to be so, like.
- [52:14]
Daniel Caesar
Well, for. I'm speaking about for me. Yeah. I would say to be faithful. I'm 30.
- [52:18]
Ad Voice (Commercials)
30.
- [52:19]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay. Okay. You still got a different type of. Than us.
- [52:21]
DJ Envy
We.
- [52:22]
Daniel Caesar
Oh, and well, and that's. But that's what I'm saying.
- [52:25]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, yeah.
- [52:25]
Daniel Caesar
So it's like you're faithful. That man now.
- [52:28]
Charlamagne Tha God
Now.
- [52:28]
Daniel Caesar
But there was a time you're supposed to provide. You're supposed to go out and deal with all this in the world that you're protecting your family from your girls. You're supposed to go out, provide, deal with all this, protect, and someone gets to tell you what you can and can't do with your. As well. You know what I mean?
- [52:46]
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't think it's about somebody telling you what you can and can't do. When you decide to make vows with a woman and you tell God, this is the woman that I want to spend the rest of my life with and be faithful to. Grateful you made that commitment.
- [52:57]
Daniel Caesar
Exactly. Which is why. And I have a woman in my life that I. That I love and I care about very much. But if she feels irresponsible. No, she's not. Okay, she's not. But it feels very irresponsible of me to make that promise because you're not. I. Yeah, I don't think so.
- [53:14]
Charlamagne Tha God
But I'm like, am I gonna be.
- [53:15]
Daniel Caesar
Ready when I'm 50? Where am I? You know what I mean?
- [53:17]
DJ Envy
That's honest, though. But that's the way you should be. And most, most people our age wish we would have been that honest this long time ago.
- [53:24]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's a level of emotional intelligence a lot of us didn't have.
- [53:27]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah, you're in a home in the suburbs and you have a car and you have a backyard, and all this is happening in everybody's homes. And we're supposed to go out and like, not talk to each other. Look how kids behave. They're like, my mom takes pills to go to. They're on the, at the, at the park talking about. My mom does this. They. They want to connect. They want to go out and whatever. And we're, we train them from young. No, your neighbor is not your friend. That's the thing, these societies. There's too many people.
- [53:51]
DJ Envy
People.
- [53:51]
Daniel Caesar
And you get on the bus and you might get stabbed in your neck or something, like. Because there's no trust.
- [53:56]
Angela Yee
What was your deeper like growing up?
- [53:58]
Daniel Caesar
It was great. It was a Caribbean household, you know what I mean? I grew up on this, this, this private high school academy. My parents, my dad worked there. Right. This was a white school. White town. White, white, white, white, white, white, white. And so I'm the only Caribbean family on this street where all the rich white kids live. Yeah, they weren't even, they weren't even rich. It just felt like they're rich because they all had cottages and. But they were. Everyone's making the same amount of money and. Yeah, and so it's, it's, it's purely just like everyone, Everyone got. Gets beat as a kid, but like, when you live on that street, you're the only one that gets beat, you know? And then all these things feel so much more egregious because of, because of proximity to what everyone's living like around you. You know what I mean? I get older.
- [54:49]
DJ Envy
Was your dad. Was your household growing up tight wholesale was just your mom and your dad and you seen that union that you looking for?
- [54:57]
Daniel Caesar
100. Yeah, 100%. 100%. But I also see what is sacrificed in oneself to sustain that.
- [55:05]
Charlamagne Tha God
So you have conversations with your father, though, like, about, like about that. Have you had conversation? Did he tell you that? He was faithful to his wife. I mean, I don't happy, right?
- [55:13]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah, but it's. It's kind of like sometimes it's like he's. He's bound by honor. He's a man of his word. You know what I mean? And so it's like, you are my kids. I'm not gonna run out on you. But you can't lie about what's going on in your head. Like when you come home and you're like, bro, this again. You know what I mean? It's like, I'm doing the job because I'm bound by honor to do the job, but I would rather be out being a person, being free.

DJ Envy
When you were younger, did you have a lot of girlfriends or were you the. The one that didn't that. Cause you went to a white school, they didn't appreciate you like they should have.
- [55:49]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah, I didn't. I didn't date until ninth grade.
- [55:52]
DJ Envy
And that's the reason why he probably feels the way that he did. He never really felt accepted when you was growing up as a kid. He never had the love. He never had that friendship.
- [55:59]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [56:00]
Charlamagne Tha God
They called you ugly, all that stuff.
- [56:02]
DJ Envy
No, but you don't. But that's. That's the reason. But that's the reason he's acting like. Like he is. Because he never had that love growing up. So now when he's a celebrity, he's a star. He can pick and choose what he slings.
- [56:12]
Angela Yee
And even then, though, it gets empty at some point because. And have a baby. It'll get with me, right?
- [56:17]
Daniel Caesar
Of course it gets.
- [56:18]
DJ Envy
But.
- [56:20]
Charlamagne Tha God
With me in parentheses.
- [56:22]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah, because that was. It was funny.
- [56:24]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's intense with me, like.
- [56:27]
DJ Envy
Yeah, but not with the other dude. Is it like, what woman left you that you was like, don't leave, please. I'll have. I put a baby and you don't leave.
- [56:33]
Daniel Caesar
Okay.
- [56:35]
DJ Envy
Okay.
- [56:35]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
- [56:36]
Daniel Caesar
No, no. So that's the, like, the girl that I wrote my first Freudian about was. Yeah, that was like a whole. That was a whole thing. And. But have a baby is like. It's funny to put it in parentheses. Yeah. Because of the experiences that I had. That's my other thing. Like with you. Really? You. Nick came. Okay. So. Yeah, you guys, you nailed it. It's. In relationships, I can't help but feel like it's about controlling what the other person does. I feel controlled when I'm this person. I feel like going over here and doing this or running around and doing that, and you tell me it hurts you, but I'm just being myself, you know? So what do you want me to do? You want me to be somebody else? This is. I didn't get you by being somebody else. I got you by being myself, you.
- [57:37]
Angela Yee
Know, but at a part in the song, when you're talking to her, it sounds like she's like putting her clothes on, she's about to leave.
- [57:43]
Charlamagne Tha God
But fig.
- [57:44]
Angela Yee
That's like the physical. But in like thinking about it, she's kind of tapping out of the relationship, right? You're almost like begging her to not at some point because you realize that. That you start all these little fires and it got you to this point and you just want to give her that dream, like what she thought or where she thought you guys would end up. So how. How are two things synonymous? Like, how do you feel? Like that. But then when she's putting on her clothes and she's ready to leave, you're like, no, have a baby with me. With me. Like, let's do this.
- [58:10]
Jessica Hilarious
Oh Lord.
- [58:11]
Angela Yee
Like, how is that?
- [58:12]
Daniel Caesar
Yes, because I'm selfish.
- [58:13]
Jessica Hilarious
Your ass toxic.
- [58:14]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, he already said he's selfish. Yeah, I'm glad. That's very self aware.
- [58:17]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah.
- [58:17]
DJ Envy
Selfish you though. Was there a woman that made you start acting like that? Or. Or when you started being the one that these women started liking, it changed you because at one time I'm sure you didn't feel accepted.
- [58:30]
Charlamagne Tha God
How do you know they like you though?
- [58:31]
Jessica Hilarious
Maybe it was rejection though.
- [58:32]
DJ Envy
How you know it's not just the fame or the money or the celebrity.
- [58:36]
Daniel Caesar
I really don't. You don't know? You don't know. It's only over time.
- [58:41]
DJ Envy
And is that why you being selfish? Like, I don't know why you like me because they didn't like me. So I'm just gonna fling to everybody, right?
- [58:47]
Jessica Hilarious
Have a baby with me.
- [58:49]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah. Cuz I. Cuz I want an artifact of our love.
- [58:52]
Charlamagne Tha God
I want an artifact. So you ready to have kids?
- [58:55]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah.
- [58:56]
Jessica Hilarious
Jesus Christ. I love the idea of.
- [58:58]
DJ Envy
What? You don't have any kids, right?
- [58:59]
Jessica Hilarious
That it?
- [59:00]
Daniel Caesar
No, no, no, no.
- [59:01]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [59:01]
DJ Envy
Not in the buns. In the bun.
- [59:03]
Daniel Caesar
No, no, no, no, no.
- [59:04]
Jessica Hilarious
Okay, so no one's pregnant?
- [59:05]
Daniel Caesar
No, no, no.
- [59:06]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
- [59:06]
Jessica Hilarious
Okay.
- [59:07]
Charlamagne Tha God
Give them some time to process the question though. Yeah.
- [59:09]
Jessica Hilarious
Oh, internalize.
- [59:10]
DJ Envy
Go ahead.
- [59:11]
Daniel Caesar
That's so interesting. Is artifact that crazy?
- [59:13]
DJ Envy
Yes, yes.
- [59:16]
Charlamagne Tha God
Stop.
- [59:17]
Angela Yee
In a gift sh.
- [59:20]
Charlamagne Tha God
They call a baby that. Yeah, that's crazy.
- [59:22]
Daniel Caesar
When I say artifact, I mean like, I don't mean I want to have a kid and then disappear. I don't believe in that. I'm like my dad, where it's like. Like bound by honor, you know, to something like that. It's just more of a. It's more of a. I don't think I can be married. I just want co parent.
- [59:43]
Charlamagne Tha God
You said all of that just to say this? I just want you to know.
- [59:45]
Jessica Hilarious
You just want to co parent.
- [59:46]
Charlamagne Tha God
I give him a copy of your book. Jess has a book coming out called Tell Death to Be Parent, Black Privilege, Publish Simon and Shooter. And it's all about co parenting.
- [59:52]
DJ Envy
Yeah, so I just.
- [59:54]
Daniel Caesar
Okay, so. So you co parent?
- [59:56]
Jessica Hilarious
I co parent well, with my son's father. Yep.
- [59:58]
DJ Envy
So she's married too, just so you know.
- [60:00]
Jessica Hilarious
And I'm married.
- [60:00]
Daniel Caesar
Oh, you're married.
- [60:02]
Jessica Hilarious
But I'm not married to my son's father. I'm married.
- [60:04]
Daniel Caesar
Your son's father was divorced or was it just a.
- [60:06]
Jessica Hilarious
No, no, no, that was just a relationship. We met when we were what, 19 or something like that, and I had. We had a baby artifact of their love and then. Oh my God, my son. Ashton. You are not an artifact, Ash. But yes, we did have an artifact.
- [60:18]
Nyla Simone
Fact.
- [60:18]
Daniel Caesar
His name's Ashton.
- [60:19]
Jessica Hilarious
Yes, Ashton.
- [60:20]
Daniel Caesar
My name is Ashton.
- [60:21]
Jessica Hilarious
Is it?
- [60:22]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah, that's what my mom.
- [60:23]
Charlamagne Tha God
I thought your name was Daniel.
- [60:24]
Daniel Caesar
No, no, no, no, that was a whole other. My dad was like, if you're not gonna sing gospel music, you can't use my name.
- [60:29]
DJ Envy
Wow.
- [60:29]
Daniel Caesar
Damn.
- [60:30]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, so.
- [60:32]
Daniel Caesar
Okay, so you've never been divorced?
- [60:34]
Jessica Hilarious
No, that's my first time being married. I love it. It's great.
- [60:37]
Daniel Caesar
Okay.
- [60:38]
Jessica Hilarious
I've only been married for like seven, eight months though. But yep. So we're newlyweds, but yep. I love it.
- [60:43]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, you're gonna read this book.
- [60:45]
Daniel Caesar
Just give it. Can I.
- [60:46]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, you can have this.
- [60:50]
Angela Yee
Advise him to start out co parenting first if he knows that's what he wants to do. Or do you advise him?
- [60:55]
DJ Envy
No, no, no, no, we want him to read it, but no, I wouldn't advise. He's breaking it back down. You were saying you have a kid. Go action.
- [61:01]
Jessica Hilarious
You were just saying. Yeah, I. Yeah, you right.
- [61:04]
Daniel Caesar
Oh, yeah. No, just like, I am just kind, like I'm just very anti divorce and I'm just like, why, why? Why can't I just promise someone what I know what I believe that I can promise them, or I could promise them more than I think we could. I should promise them. We get divorced and then we still end up doing this Anyhow. How many people are out here? So you like, speak self aware and trying to circumvent and maybe that's It's. Maybe it's cowardice trying to circumvent the pain or the. You know, but it's just kind of.
- [61:37]
Jessica Hilarious
Like a long way there. It's like, yo, shortcut, baby. All right, let's co parent right here, right now, because I know I can not be. I can't participate in active monogamy with you right now. Like, because that's not how I feel. Marriage, it does not serve me. I don't like it. All the things attached to it. I do want a child. I want my own offspring, though, and I would love to co parent with you. That's what it is. So you got to find somebody that's like you, that. That is okay with that to do that with. And there are women, like, all your.
- [62:04]
DJ Envy
Money in your shoes as well. If you play around with these women like that.
- [62:09]
Charlamagne Tha God
Just. You don't want them shoes. You got.
- [62:10]
DJ Envy
No, no, no, no.
- [62:11]
Daniel Caesar
And you. These are. I have been getting so many compliments on these, but. No, no, no.
- [62:16]
DJ Envy
But there are women who love.
- [62:17]
Jessica Hilarious
Who will do that.
- [62:19]
Daniel Caesar
You just. And. And I know I can pick a woman to have a child with.
- [62:24]
DJ Envy
I'm not a. I have real.
- [62:26]
Daniel Caesar
I have values. One of the major reasons as to why. And people are going to be upset with me for saying this. The institution of marriage is suffering so much is because I personally think that there was farther back in society. This is the whole thing. Like, with, like, farther, farther back in time. There was a clear distinction amongst the classes of women in society. There were. There were women that you court and they don't, and they're, you know, I mean, and that you don't have sex before marriage and all this stuff. And then, you know, you do the whole thing. And there were prostitutes. And there was a clear distinction in society. And men weren't just like that, too.
- [63:10]
Charlamagne Tha God
Tupac said there's a difference between the hoes and black queens. Exactly. I don't know if I agree with that, but I understand what you're saying.
- [63:18]
Daniel Caesar
I'm. I also. Because all people are. I'm talking about the systems in which we live. They had to pick. You had to pick all women because all women want to. To be free and to experience prostitutes. The benefit of being a prostitute is you get to. You're not beholden to all these different rules that the wives have to be beholden to. You can be free. You can move to society as you want. You know what I mean? However, obviously, your life is highly in danger. You know, all these different. Your.
- [63:46]
Charlamagne Tha God
Your extreme as prostitute like there's mistresses that feel like that. There's a mistress that feels like, I don't want to be the wife. I'm just happy being beside you.
- [63:54]
Daniel Caesar
I know. But now we're getting into subgroups. If you. If you boil it down, it's like the wife is going to call the mistress a prostitute. Same thing. You know what I mean?
- [64:02]
Jessica Hilarious
Pretty much, yeah.
- [64:02]
DJ Envy
Yeah.
- [64:03]
Jessica Hilarious
And the whole.
- [64:03]
Daniel Caesar
Is a prostitute.
- [64:04]
Angela Yee
So the girl that excites you, that you have a baby with, she's on the courting side for sure.
- [64:08]
DJ Envy
Or is she on the prostitute side?
- [64:10]
Jessica Hilarious
Is she a.
- [64:11]
Charlamagne Tha God
Who knows?
- [64:12]
Jessica Hilarious
She A tit.
- [64:13]
DJ Envy
Exactly.
- [64:14]
Charlamagne Tha God
And this is actually.
- [64:15]
Daniel Caesar
There's actually where I have to.
- [64:17]
Charlamagne Tha God
I. Yeah, you.
- [64:18]

Charlamagne Tha God
Boy, Daniel, gonna have y' all arguing all day long. Okay? Because he's essentially saying men are about marriages and, and they're faithful because the system tells them to be, not because they actually want.
- [68:29]
DJ Envy
They don't want to be in that situation. That's what I'm saying.
- [68:31]
Charlamagne Tha God
I disagree with, with that but, you know, we can. We can have a conversation if y' all want to.
- [68:35]
DJ Envy
I do. I. I do think there's a lot of. I think there's a lot of couples out there that might be together for circumstances, not necessarily because they want to anymore. There's a lot for the kids. Maybe it's because they're comfortable. Yeah, it is.
- [68:47]
Angela Yee
Yeah.
- [68:47]
DJ Envy
But people do hear about it all the time.
- [68:49]
Angela Yee
Wendy Williams said that she waited to divorce Kevin Hunter until her son went to college. A lot of women do that, too. Men do it as well, but women.
- [68:54]
Jessica Hilarious
But didn't look now. What now?
- [68:57]
Angela Yee
She said. Yeah, she said that multiple times. It's in her movie as well, too, that she waited until her son went to college. One, the one on Lifetime that she said she didn't like.
- [69:05]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
- [69:05]
DJ Envy
Well, let's get to the latest with Laura. We'll do that next.
- [69:08]
Charlamagne Tha God
Your talk. LL cool.
- [69:09]
Angela Yee
Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything and everything. The little brown girls look at you.
- [69:21]
Jessica Hilarious
And go, I want to be like you.
- [69:22]
Charlamagne Tha God
Take me through that.
- [69:23]
Angela Yee
Take me through that.
- [69:25]
Daniel Caesar
The latest with Lauren.
- [69:28]
Charlamagne Tha God
On the Breakfast Club. LL Cool.
- [69:31]
DJ Envy
Talk to me.
- [69:33]
Angela Yee
All right. So speaking of, you know, monogamy and all the things. So Desmond and Christy Scott, these are the influencers who showcase their life, their love, and their family all throughout social media. And Christy recently filed for divorce, and she said that there was infidelity. She cited infidelity and said there was no chance of reconciliation. So there's a new video that surfaced yesterday of Desmond out at a bar with a woman, and the woman is on his lap. They are very passionately kissing. You would think nobody else is in the room.
- [70:03]
Jessica Hilarious
Yes.
- [70:06]
Angela Yee
And this video from what so Team TMZ obtained the video, and from what they're reporting, this video was taken just a few days after the divorce filing, but there is no confirmation yet if the. If the woman in the video is the woman that Christy, you know, was, I guess, referencing in her divorce filing whatsoever. And I did reach out to Desmond's team and have not heard back. Christy has also not posted anything in response, but she did post a photo some days prior to this. And her caption on the photo, she looks great. Her caption was same address. Desmond liked that photo, but they had built this, like, big, forever home together. And she letting the people know. I guess she ain't. She ain't going nowhere. She's staying in her house. He just ain't standing there you know.
- [70:46]
DJ Envy
People are so tied into their business, but we don't know how long they've been separated because he said he was separated for a while. We don't know how long they not been, you know, communicating or how long they not really been together, because they could have been married, but they could have been separate in their own relationship, in their own marriage. But it is weird to see that, especially with the fact that TMZ posted the photo of them kissing another girl with him going through that. So I know it would make people feel away, but it ain't none of our business.
- [71:11]
Jessica Hilarious
And he did he. But he said he told her that he wanted to separate.
- [71:15]
Angela Yee
Yes, he did.
- [71:16]
Jessica Hilarious
He wouldn't have to cheat. He didn't want to cheat on her, but. Yeah.
- [71:19]
Angela Yee
Well, there will be more from.
- [71:20]
Jessica Hilarious
And is it true that the only way out of a Jehovah's Witness marriage is infidelity?
- [71:24]
Angela Yee
I saw that on social media, but I don't know that.
- [71:27]
DJ Envy
Charlemagne, you're a Jehovah Witness.
- [71:28]
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, I don't remember anything about that.
- [71:30]
Jessica Hilarious
That's not his life no more.
- [71:32]
Angela Yee
But, yeah, I saw people.
- [71:34]
DJ Envy
Doorbells. Anymore like that, they still.
- [71:35]
Charlamagne Tha God
Be honest.
- [71:36]
Angela Yee
They still do. Yeah.
- [71:38]
Charlamagne Tha God
Don't disrespect my mama religion, boy.
- [71:40]
DJ Envy
I'm just. I just don't say.
- [71:41]
Jessica Hilarious
I'm like, yeah, but shout out to Ryan Davis that he. He talks about it on his special. No, yo, he talks about it on his special. No, he talks about the Jehovah's Witness. All. All of that stuff aligns with the jokes that he. His material on the special or whatever, and he talks about that. But I don't know. Comedians be playing. But I heard him say that the only way out of a Jehovah's Witness marriage is infidelity.
- [72:02]
Angela Yee
Yeah, I can't confirm that to be fact, but I did see people pointing it out now.
- [72:07]
Charlamagne Tha God
Salute to Jehovah's Witness. So stupid. Like, who says that?
- [72:10]
Angela Yee
Salute to Charlie.
- [72:11]
Charlamagne Tha God
I think Jehovah's Witness, if it's just one.
- [72:13]
DJ Envy
All the members of Jehovah's Witness.
- [72:14]
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm the Jehovah's Witness.
- [72:18]
Angela Yee
Now, in other news. So you guys know Teyana Taylor is going to be playing. Playing Dionne Warwick in her life story. Now, she sat down for an interview on the Today show, and she says that they asked her about if she's gonna actually be singing the music. She says she doesn't want to. Let's take a listen.
- [72:32]
DJ Envy
Are you going to sing in it?
- [72:33]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah, but hopefully I'm lip singing because Hopefully I'm lip syncing because, baby, Dionne Warwick, that's just. That's a whole different level of voice. I mean, I got piped, but.
- [72:42]
DJ Envy
She got piped.
- [72:42]
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
- [72:44]
Angela Yee
Now, listen, I'm mad at Teyana Taylor for being honest about, you know, what she can and can't do, but we know that the project's gonna be good either way.
- [72:51]
Jessica Hilarious
Man, that girl voice, she got P, too. I saw her just do a shot, a cover, a shot, a birthday, actually, today. But I just saw Tiana Taylor do a shot, a cover. I haven't seen too many people that's actually able to do that and sound similar to Shade. She's. She killed it. And she was singing sitting down. People don't understand.
- [73:10]
Charlamagne Tha God
I think they are different, though.
- [73:12]
Angela Yee
It's a pressure, especially.
- [73:15]
DJ Envy
She want do it.
- [73:16]
Charlamagne Tha God
There's a reason why. I mean, because Tiana knows her capabilities and she knows Dion's capabilities, and she's an artist, so she's like, nah, I need the lip sync.
- [73:26]
Angela Yee
If she.
- [73:26]
Charlamagne Tha God
If. If Tiana says that, I think we should rock with Tiana.
- [73:29]
Angela Yee
Well, speaking of artists and what people think they should be doing, the. The people want the city girls back. Young Miami put out a snippet of a song, and the. The fans are not loving it. Let's take a listen to the snippet of the song. You know, it's tea when you see them two fingers touching. Yeah.
- [73:48]
Nyla Simone
I just.
- [73:55]
Angela Yee
Yeah, let's get into some tea.
- [73:59]
Charlamagne Tha God
How do you judge that? It sound like somebody recorded it off a phone or something.
- [74:03]
Angela Yee
She was live. She was on the live for Santana.
- [74:07]
Jessica Hilarious
But is that the only snippet? I mean, the beat didn't drop yet. We didn't get into a verse or nothing.
- [74:11]
Angela Yee
Like, that's. Yeah, that's all she posted. Now. She did go live. Live following this because the comments got crazy. Like, people once blogs picked this up. People were in the comments. And on X, there was one person I saw that told her, go get her cdl. Like to give it up and so.
- [74:30]
Charlamagne Tha God
Don't play with your Miami. That is go drive trucks, man.
- [74:36]
Jessica Hilarious
God damn.
- [74:37]
Angela Yee
They was on her body.
- [74:38]
DJ Envy
Y' all like, damn, Miami.
- [74:41]
Angela Yee
It was back. They love the poke at Young Miami and her rap abilities, but she went live and she responded because it was on her so bad. Let's take a listen to her response. I understand all y' all videos, and the thing about it is, what's gagging me the most about this whole thing is it's like y' all just literally.
- [74:56]
Jessica Hilarious
Y' all didn't hear the whole song, right?
- [74:57]
Charlamagne Tha God
Y' all.
- [74:58]
Angela Yee
Like, y' all literally got me so hyped in a good hype.
- [75:00]
Jessica Hilarious
I'm not mad. I'm. I'm literally, like, laughing with y'.
- [75:03]
Mimi Brown
All.
- [75:03]
Jessica Hilarious
Like, I be kidding with y', all.
- [75:04]
Angela Yee
But y' all got me so hyped. Like, I'm so excited because it's like, I'm really coming.
- [75:09]
Jessica Hilarious
I don't know what y' all talking about.
- [75:11]
Angela Yee
I don't know y' all talking about in the comments.
- [75:12]
Jessica Hilarious
I don't know what y' all talk about on Twitter.
- [75:14]
Angela Yee
I don't y' all talk about on Tick Tock.
- [75:15]
Jessica Hilarious
When I drop my tape, y' all.
- [75:19]
Angela Yee
Gonna owe me an apology. Tomorrow.
- [75:22]
Jessica Hilarious
I think I'm gonna just drop the phone.
- [75:24]
Angela Yee
Cause I'm ready to get in the field.
- [75:26]
Jessica Hilarious
Like, I like, I don't give y' all bops.
- [75:28]
Angela Yee
Like, I wasn't on a whole feature one. I got so much. Yeah, all my bangers too.
- [75:34]
Charlamagne Tha God
She right.
- [75:35]
DJ Envy
Karisha, send a song, please.
- [75:37]
Angela Yee
I went and look for it. It wasn't there.
- [75:38]
DJ Envy
I'll play it.
- [75:40]
Charlamagne Tha God
Artists should stop doing that. It's like a. It's like a comedian who has a stand up special coming and they out in the clubs working out, you know what I'm saying? And then somebody records them and puts out material that's not really ready to be fleshed all the way out. Stop going on live. Is she playing your songs?
- [75:54]
DJ Envy
She probably left the studio and you could hear it loud in the studio. She's like, I'm gonna play this for y'.
- [75:58]
Angela Yee
All.
- [75:58]
DJ Envy
But you didn't realize you don't got that same feeling in the studio. And it's like, you know what?
- [76:02]
Daniel Caesar
Yeah.
- [76:03]
Jessica Hilarious
As she was probably just excited to let us know. Like, she is back in the stew, you know what I mean? Like, cuz she ain't dropped nothing in a while. She, you know, set it up here.
- [76:10]
DJ Envy
Karisha, we'll play it.
- [76:12]
Angela Yee
And as we wrap this hour, I want to send some love. I saw Anthony Joshua post on his Snapchat that he is back in the Gym. This is 19 days after that fatal crash that killed two of his friends, who also were a part of his, like, team. And there's been a lot of pressure on if he's going to get back in the ring or not. But I just wanted to, you know, send him some love. I saw Eddie Hearn say we should leave that conversation alone and let him heal. But I think people are happy to see him back in the gym and just doing something that we know can help him get through.
- [76:35]
Charlamagne Tha God
And just because he's back in the gym don't mean he back in the gym because he want to fight. He might just want to work out. Like that's a good way to, you know, get through that. Helps physical. Working out, helps your mental and emotional well being, not just your physical.
- [76:45]
Angela Yee
Yeah.
- [76:45]
Jessica Hilarious
And then let's just be honest, who the hell is going to want to fight him now after all of it?
- [76:50]
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, plenty of, plenty of plenty of real heavyweight fighters. Okay.
- [76:54]
Jessica Hilarious
I'm just saying, when you got that type of, like, when you go through something like that, like he going to beat the brakes off, you'll kill somebody. You know, all it's.
- [77:01]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, you still got to get in the ring. But no, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, next year would still be a good fight if Anthony Joshua chooses to do it. Tyson ain't ducking no smoke.
- [77:10]
DJ Envy
All right, well, that is the latest with Lauren Charlemagne. What we doing?
- [77:14]

- [78:14]
Charlamagne Tha God
It's very insulting. And I mean, listen, man, you know, when it comes to the economy, Donald Trump said on day one he was gonna have things right. You know, I mean, listen, of course we didn't believe day one. We met actual day one. But it's been a year and things have gotten worse.

- [79:28]
Caller/Guest
I mean, listen, I got. Look at you. Anyway, so you just wanted to give.
- [79:31]

He spent his whole life just hating on Kendrick, glazing Drake. Every single. I mean, that's every single day. And then J. Cole gonna go and drop his. He's talking about his new album the last two days. All you see all over the Internet.

Caller/Guest
He's doing too much every day. He's spending his life talking about other men.
- [80:18]
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, listen, I don't. I don't. People say the same thing about me. They'll say, I hate. I spend my whole life hating on Drake, glazing Kendrick. And I'm. And I'm critiquing. I'm talking to the same guy, though. I didn't call Cole soft. What I said was, you know, I just want to know what direction Cole is going in on this album because he clearly doesn't care about being the number one guy anymore. So I just wonder what. What direction he's taking, that's all.
- [80:45]
Caller/Guest
No, I never. I respect that, but I feel like you diversify your portfolio of hate, whereas academics is strictly like. It's strictly like he. He's slopping on Drake and he's hating on Kendrick every day with his life.
- [80:58]
Charlamagne Tha God
I like that. Diversify your portfolio of hate. I agree with that.
- [81:02]
DJ Envy
I like that.

I want to give it to DJ Envy the. Because he does the sports in the morning, like the basketball, football, whatever, and he never does the nascar. It is some brothers out there that are making a career out of that sport, and I think they should be recognized.

Charlamagne Tha God
We have had bub Bubba Wallace up here, though. I actually went to NASCAR, too, so.
- [82:44]
DJ Envy
But, yeah, but thank you, brother.
- [82:45]
Caller/Guest
But the only thing I'm saying is these guys need to be recognized just like any guys in the other sport.
- [82:51]
DJ Envy
Well, name some of them.

Caller/Guest
So we know Bubba Wallace, Roger Carru. I'm driving. So you think we said Bubba Wallace?

Caller/Guest
He's a car guy. He's a car guy, and he's. He's talking about these other sports and cars. NASCAR is cars. That's all I'm saying. I'm not trying to be, you know, like, argumentative or anything about it. I follow nascar. I'm a black guy. I just feel like I like to know were they played in the race on the weekends when I. And I listen to you guys all the time. You're very good.
- [83:55]
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you, brother.
- [83:55]

- [84:29]
Charlamagne Tha God
To go to a. I'm not.
- [84:31]
DJ Envy
I am.
- [84:31]
Jessica Hilarious
Because you're a car guy.
- [84:33]
DJ Envy
I'm not that type of car guy, but I love to see the racing. But I'm definitely.
- [84:37]
Charlamagne Tha God
I'll be honest with you, it's a little overstimulating for me. It's very loud.
- [84:44]
DJ Envy
But I am going to go. All right. Thank you, Charlemagne, for the donkey of the day and everybody for calling in today.
- [84:48]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, indeed. Yes. And today is Friday, man. You want to start some arguments? You want to get people arguing?
- [84:53]
Jessica Hilarious
Absolutely.
- [84:54]
Charlamagne Tha God
Right now.
- [84:55]
Angela Yee
Yeah.
- [84:56]
Charlamagne Tha God
Daniel Caesar was here a little while ago, and he had. Have some interesting thoughts on, like, I guess, the concept of marriage.
- [85:02]
DJ Envy
Yes, he did.
- [85:03]
Charlamagne Tha God
Let's listen. Yeah.
- [85:04]
Daniel Caesar
Sometimes I look at, like, married couples and stuff like that. If it almost feels like a. Like a big conspiracy where it's just like, we're married. So of Course, we're happy because we're married, and everyone should want marriage. My parents are still together, mind you, Right. And they love each other and they respect each other, but I just. Sometimes I think. And I'm just like, I know. And I'm the same as my dad. Sometimes. It's like he's. He's bound by honor. He's a man of his word. You know what I mean? And so it's like, you are my kids. I'm not gonna run out on you. But you can't lie about what's going on in your head. Like when you come home and you're like, bro, this again. You know what I mean? It's like, I'm doing the job because I'm bound by honor to do the job, but I would rather be out being a person, being free, running around.
- [85:53]
Charlamagne Tha God
I get what you're saying, but, I mean, marriage is hard work, you know? I mean, you're gonna have your good, good days, you're gonna have your bad.
- [85:58]
Jessica Hilarious
Days, but you have to want to do it.
- [86:00]
Charlamagne Tha God
And. And this is a conversation just for the married couples. Okay. I don't want to say in particular the married men, but, yeah, I want to hear from a lot of the married men. Are you happily married? Are you being faithful because you want to be or because you feel like you have to be? Do you feel like marriage is a job?
- [86:16]
DJ Envy
Yes. Are you comfortable and that's the reason why you're there? 800-585-1051. That is the question. Do you want to be in your marriage, or are you just there because of the kids and you just really want to be free?
- [86:26]
Charlamagne Tha God
Let's discuss. He said it like it was a job. That's what he said.
- [86:30]
Jessica Hilarious
But I don't know how many guys, I think, gonna call up and admit.
- [86:33]
Daniel Caesar
That.
- [86:36]
Charlamagne Tha God
They don't see their face.
- [86:37]
DJ Envy
They ain't gotta say their name.
- [86:38]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
- [86:39]
DJ Envy
They ain't got to say their name. I think women, too, though. Women as well. Oh, absolutely.
- [86:42]
Charlamagne Tha God
Because he said married couples, right? He said married couple, but he was kind of putting some emphasis on the men. But, yeah, I just want to know, like. Cause I think people are. Some people are happily married because they're actually happily married. Absolutely. You know what I mean? I think people are favorable because they want to be faithful. I don't think people look at marriage as a job, but nobody also, nobody ever said marriage was easy.
- [86:59]
DJ Envy
I think a lot. I think a lot of people do. Like, even if you listen to Just Fix My Mess, there's a lot of people that call all the time and say, I'm here because I'm here for my kids. I want to make sure my kids are okay. I'm here because financially I can't leave. Or I'm here because I'm comfortable and I don't know what else is out there.
- [87:16]
Jessica Hilarious
Right.
- [87:17]
DJ Envy

Charlamagne Tha God
Peace to the planet. Charlamagne, the God here. Now, you know the end of the year is when, like a lot of business owners, I really lock in. All right, this is the time to set the foundation for next year. You got new ideas, new product drops, new goals. And when I'm building anything meaningful, meaningful, I need the right tools. That's why I always tell folks, especially black entrepreneurs and small black owned businesses, Shopify is the move, okay? We use it at the Black Effect podcast network. And I've seen Firsthand how it helps creators and business owners grow with confidence. Entrepreneurship is very important to me. Okay, there's nothing wrong with working for people. There's nothing wrong with partnering people. But you should strive to own your own as well. And Shopify can help others grow into entrepreneurs. It's like having a whole team behind, behind you.

Morning. If you're just joining us, we're talking about something Daniel Caesar said earlier when he was on the Breakfast Club. Let's listen.
- [91:02]
Daniel Caesar
Sometimes I look. Look at like married couples and stuff like that. If it almost feels like a. Like a big conspiracy where it's just like, we're married, so of course we're happy because we're married and everyone should want marriage. My parents are still together, mind you, right? And they love each other and they respect each other, but I just. Sometimes I think and I'm just like, I know and I'm the same as my dad. Sometimes it's like he's. He's bound by honor. He's a man of his word. You know what I mean?
- [91:30]
Charlamagne Tha God
Mean.
- [91:31]
Daniel Caesar
And so it's like, you are my kids. I'm not gonna run out on you. But you can't lie about what's going on in your head. Like when you come home and you're like, bro, this again. You know what I mean? It's like, I'm doing the job because I'm bound by honor to do the job, but I would rather be out being a person, being free, running around.
- [91:52]
Charlamagne Tha God
I get what you're saying, but, I mean, marriage is hard work, you know? I mean, you're going to have your good days, you're going to have your.
- [91:56]
Jessica Hilarious
Bad days, but you have to want to do it.
- [91:58]
DJ Envy
So we're asking 800-585-1051, what are your thoughts? What do you think, Jess?
- [92:05]
Jessica Hilarious
I agree. I mean, I get what he's saying. I feel like it is a lot of marriages where the man or the woman could be mentally. Be mentally over it, but you're just in it because you're bound by honor. Like, you said your vows, and it's a number of reasons that somebody could be unhappy in their marriage.
- [92:25]
Charlamagne Tha God
Marriage.
- [92:26]
Jessica Hilarious
But at the same time, you gotta want to do it. Like you. You know, I. How many times have you. You're not gonna always have that. It's not gonna always be sunshine and rain and all that. Like, it's gonna always be hard. But if you're willing to do the work and to be there, that's. That's how you last.
- [92:45]
DJ Envy
Yeah, but. But you gotta be happy. You have to be happy.
- [92:48]
Charlamagne Tha God
Right?
- [92:48]
DJ Envy
And something Charlamagne said, but you're not always happy.
- [92:51]
Angela Yee
You gotta.
- [92:51]
DJ Envy
You gotta find the right person right now. Yeah. In marriage, you might not always be happy, but the majority of times you should be happy. And regardless, your wife or your husband should make you happy. There's times where I have a hard day, whatever it is, but when I step into that house and I see my wife, my day brightens up immediately. When I see my kids, my day brightens up immediately. Marriage is not easy. But for people in a marriage that say, oh, I'm in there because I need to honor, that's not gonna last long. And for people that say, oh, I'm there because of my kids, your kids can see when you're happy, when you're not.
- [93:22]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [93:22]
DJ Envy
Your kids can see right through the bs. So I wouldn't say be in that marriage just because you want to honor somebody. If you're not in love. And you're not there for the right reasons. You shouldn't be there.
- [93:32]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, yeah, I get what Daniel's saying, but you can't generalize every marriage the way that he did. Like, you know, there are some people who are not happily married, all right? There are some people just going through motions in a marriage, but that's not everyone's ministry. And I know plenty of people who are happily married, okay? I'm one of them. And whoever told you that every day in a marriage is gonna be peaches and cream, that's just a damn lie, okay? You're gonna argue with your wife. You're gonna get mad at your wife, you know, but that's still your person at the end of the day, right?
- [94:01]
DJ Envy
And it's also how you handle those arguments, right? Me and my wife will argue, and then at the end of it, we start laughing because we just know how stupid the argument is. Like, she is my person. I am her person. Like, we just know everything about each other.
- [94:12]
Charlamagne Tha God
Other.
- [94:12]
DJ Envy
It's to the point where I tell everybody all the time, I'd rather stay home every day, all day and watch a movie with. With my wife than to. To do anything. I have fun, and I enjoy doing it. You know?
- [94:22]
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, and I think that's the biggest thing, right? Some of y' all just truly haven't found your person.
- [94:27]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [94:28]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's just the reality of the situation, you know? I mean, r. You know, maybe you did find your person, and, you know, that person was in your life for a long, long, long, long time. And maybe y' all did grow apart.
- [94:38]
Jessica Hilarious
Grow apart? Yeah.
- [94:39]
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, and I don't know if that means y' all get a divorce or y' all try to, you know, work things out. I don't know what that means. But, you know, when you do find your person, you know, that's your person, and you want to do right by that person, because doing right is the right thing, not because society tells you you have to. Right?
- [94:55]
Jessica Hilarious
But it's another part of it, too. Like, you can find your person, but you gotta be able to find yourself, too. You gotta know who you are. You know, it's how Daniel. His way of thinking, that may change. He Only 30. That may change at 35.
- [95:07]
DJ Envy
But I think he's looking at something else. Like you said, he was a young man that didn't get respected. He. He didn't get to kick it to girls.
- [95:14]
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, girls thought he was cosmetically challenged. You know what I'm saying? So he probably. He probably didn't really start to get a lot cosmetically challenged.
- [95:21]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [95:21]
Nyla Simone
Oh.
- [95:21]
Charlamagne Tha God
So he probably started, probably start getting a lot of, you know, girls even coming his way.
- [95:25]
Angela Yee
Correct.
- [95:26]
Charlamagne Tha God
Until he got popular. So of course his thoughts are going to be jaded on it.
- [95:29]
DJ Envy
But let me ask you a question. If your, your, your husband, you know, something happened and he gained 400 pounds, would you say still be there?
- [95:35]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah, we going to lose that.
- [95:36]
Charlamagne Tha God
You ain't never seen a 400 pound Mexican in your life.
- [95:40]
Jessica Hilarious
But he's still black too. But we would be Jim in that. Like ain't no way. Like I'm not going to leave you, but you're not about to stay £400.
- [95:47]
Charlamagne Tha God
What is jiming that Jim?
- [95:49]
Jessica Hilarious
That like going to the gyming all day.
- [95:51]
Charlamagne Tha God
You were saying a Mexican word. I didn't know.
- [95:57]
DJ Envy
You didn't know what the hell you said. Hello? Who's this?
- [95:59]
Caller/Guest
Hey, good morning. This Lewis.
- [96:01]
DJ Envy
What's up?
- [96:02]
Jessica Hilarious
Good morning.
- [96:03]
Caller/Guest
Happy New Year. I'll start off by saying my story is almost similar to the dude that got divorced and the fact that I was a virgin, that I was married. So I do one woman. So I think to answer the question about am I happily married most of the time? No. And I do have desires to experience others. But when you make a commitment in marriage to God, like Charlmagne was saying, you got to go through it's hard, hard work. So a lot of times people give up too easy. But that commitment that you made, you have to commit to that hard work. Otherwise it'll just be too easy. That's the same with everything in life. I don't want to eat vegetables. I don't want to, you know, go to work. Sometimes you put in hard work and even y', all, we are still not putting the hard work behind the scenes to get where we are now. So I think everything in life is hard work and the benefits of it.
- [96:51]
Charlamagne Tha God
I get what you're saying.
- [96:52]
DJ Envy
Thank you, man. Hello, who's this?
- [96:54]
Caller/Guest
Hello.
- [96:54]
DJ Envy
Hey, what's your name?
- [96:56]
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, how you doing?
- [96:56]
Caller/Guest
This is Naim from Detroit.
- [96:58]
DJ Envy
Naim, what up Doe? Talk to us, what's your thoughts?
- [97:00]
Caller/Guest
A lot of this is something that's dear to me because I am a married man. But a lot of times the younger people, they haven't loved someone enough. And so what they do is they view older people kind of at the middle at the end and kind of, you know, cast their opinions based on what they see from older. You have to love enough first before you make these kind of, you know, you know, thoughts and put these out in the air because it's kind of hurting other people who love marriage. You know, they haven't experienced enough. He sound like he haven't found a woman that he loves enough. So he's saying, oh, you know, because of probably women he deal with. It's short term. Shouldn't really do that. It's irresponsible.
- [97:40]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, thank you.
- [97:42]
DJ Envy
800-585-1051. If you're just joining us, we're talking about Daniel Caesar. We had him on the show an hour ago and this is what he said about how he looks at marriage.
- [97:52]
Daniel Caesar
Sometimes I look at, at like married couples and stuff like that. If it almost feels like a, like a big conspiracy where it's just like we're married, so of course we're happy because we're married and everyone should want marriage. My parents are still together, mind you, right. And they love each other and they respect each other. But I just, sometimes I think I'm just like, I know and I'm the same as my dad sometimes it's like he's. He's bound by honor. He's a man of his word. You know what I mean? Know what I mean? And so it's like, you are my kids. I'm not gonna run out on you. But you can't lie about what's going on in your head. Like when you come home and you're like, bro, this again. You know what I mean? It's like I'm doing the job because I'm bound by honor to do the job. But I would rather be out being a person, being free, running around.
- [98:42]
Charlamagne Tha God
I get what you're saying, but I mean, marriage is hard work, you know, I mean, you're gonna have your good days, you're gonna have your bad days.
- [98:46]
Jessica Hilarious
But you have to want to do it now.
- [98:48]
DJ Envy
You feel just, just the same way or different.
- [98:51]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah, yeah, I like, I get what he's saying, but like he can't generalize it. Like Charlotte said, like you can't just. That just be your outlook on marriage, period. And then I agree with the last brother that called up. Daniel hasn't had enough experience, enough, enough experiences with love to come to this conclusion right now and just be set in it. Like you have to have, you have to, you have to have your person. But you also, I feel like you also have to know who you are too. All right, we know he don't like something systems, but like I feel like he not going to feel the same way.
- [99:24]
Charlamagne Tha God
Cuz true love isn't a system. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? True love is two spirits connecting, right? Like. Like love, love. Love has nothing to do with any system. There's no societal system that can create love like that. That's what coming to America was about, right? Coming to America, they had a whole tradition. And he was like, I don't want to do that. I want to go out there and find my person.
- [99:44]
DJ Envy
But I always take it to the extent.
- [99:46]
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
- [99:46]
DJ Envy
The full extent. So if.
- [99:47]
Charlamagne Tha God
If your.
- [99:48]
DJ Envy
Your spouse was a paraplegic, would you still love him?
- [99:50]
Jessica Hilarious
Right.
- [99:50]
DJ Envy
If you, if your spouse got into an accident and lost limbs, would you still love them the same way if your spouse couldn't have sex, would you still be there and love him? To say.
- [99:58]
Charlamagne Tha God
But that's what unconditionally.
- [99:59]
DJ Envy
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What I'm saying, Jess, if your spouse could not have sex anymore, right, Would you stay in that marriage?
- [100:07]
Jessica Hilarious
Well, I just got married. You know what I mean? Like, I'm just, you know, I'm. I'm fresh and it, you know, and you just throwing all this stuff at me too early.
- [100:15]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's crazy. Like, nah, who wants a Mexican? That can't work.
- [100:22]
DJ Envy
You know that video I seen you posted on your story? The video of the. The human with no arms and no legs. And you see how the. That person's spouse was throwing them in the water. Would you. Could you be in a relationship like that?
- [100:34]
Jessica Hilarious
But I think they was in a relationship for a long time. You know what I mean? I wouldn't want to be the one that has to carry around, you know, the CPR mannequin. Like, that's like a CPR mannequin.
- [100:42]
Charlamagne Tha God
For real.
- [100:43]
Jessica Hilarious
Like, you gotta, you know, I mean.
- [100:45]
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what's so crazy? I know men who have had women. Damn.
- [100:49]
Caller/Guest
What was it?
- [100:50]
Charlamagne Tha God
It's not all timers, I guess. I guess dementia. Like. Like I know men who have had been with women and there were younger women. Not younger, younger, but like, you know, 40s, 50s. I'm getting like some type of dementia or some type of neurological disorder. And they were basically vegetarian vegetables. And those guys stayed with those women. Absolutely took care of those women, watched those women, because that was his person and he loved her up until the day she died. So, I mean, yeah, if you really do have unconditional love with a person, you gonna hold that down?
- [101:19]
Jessica Hilarious
Absolutely.
- [101:20]
DJ Envy
Hello?
- [101:20]
Charlamagne Tha God
Who's this?
- [101:21]
Caller/Guest
Good morning. I don't wanna say my name because. But my husband don't listen to Breakfast Club. He did speak Caucasian, but I would tell me. So I know that you're looking for the males to call in, but I got my own opinion.
- [101:42]
Charlamagne Tha God
My husband.
- [101:42]
Caller/Guest
I have been married for 17 years. He's been taken away back in the early 2000s, but, you know, when he got out, he came home, he locked it down. And it's just, I'm too old to start over. So you be able to be more than likely convenience. Correct. And the operator took the word that I had out of my mouth. Our son is growing down zone. And it's just. I don't know. It's just. It's.
- [102:08]
DJ Envy
I don't know.
- [102:09]
Charlamagne Tha God
And you said he's white.
- [102:11]
Caller/Guest
He is of the. The palm side.
- [102:14]
Charlamagne Tha God
Correct. You tired of that pink penis? You have had enough.
- [102:18]
Caller/Guest
No, but the pink penis is hitting it. Right. It's hitting that good spot.
- [102:23]
Charlamagne Tha God
But I'm not complaining. But I know it's tough. I know it's tough getting on your knees and, you know, doing, you know, doing that during the Black Lives Matter movement. Like, I mean, that's kind of crazy.
- [102:33]
Jessica Hilarious
Like.
- [102:34]
DJ Envy
Yeah.
- [102:34]
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what I'm saying? Like.
- [102:37]
Caller/Guest
The topic of the day was not about.
- [102:43]
DJ Envy
But let me ask you a question.
- [102:44]
Caller/Guest
Happily married. Married.
- [102:46]
Charlamagne Tha God
If you're not.
- [102:46]
DJ Envy
If you're not happy. Right. Why wouldn't you say that?
- [102:49]
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm not saying that. She sound happy to me.
- [102:51]
DJ Envy
Oh, she just said she there for convenience.
- [102:52]
Jessica Hilarious
Right.
- [102:53]
Caller/Guest
I am very blessed and highly favors.
- [102:55]
DJ Envy
But you said you were there for convenience. That. That doesn't.
- [102:59]
Caller/Guest
That's because the operator took those words out my mouth. He put some words in my mouth.
- [103:03]
Daniel Caesar
So.
- [103:03]
Charlamagne Tha God
So you have.
- [103:04]
Caller/Guest
I mean, it. It is convenient.
- [103:05]
Jessica Hilarious
So why are you calling?
- [103:07]
Charlamagne Tha God
No, I. I think. I don't think convenience is the right word. I think that you have found your person and you're happy with your person. Like, you're not just there because you have to be there, are you?
- [103:16]
Jessica Hilarious
But she.
- [103:17]
Caller/Guest
Correct.
- [103:17]
DJ Envy
Okay.
- [103:18]
Charlamagne Tha God
But.
- [103:18]
Jessica Hilarious
Okay. But you're saying I just.
- [103:20]
Caller/Guest
I'm too old to start over.
- [103:21]
Daniel Caesar
I just don't.
- [103:22]
Caller/Guest
I don't know. I don't want to say that I don't want to start over.
- [103:25]
Charlamagne Tha God
You don't want to.
- [103:25]
DJ Envy
Yeah.
- [103:26]
Jessica Hilarious
That's kind of contradicting. It's like.
- [103:28]
DJ Envy
But that kind of tells you, like, I don't want to start over. But that, like, that kind of. Tell me, like, you here, like, you.
- [103:33]
Jessica Hilarious
Comfortable in your situation, but if you. If it was. If it wasn't there the day or tomorrow, you would be all right. But you don't want to start over.
- [103:39]
Charlamagne Tha God
I know.
- [103:39]
Jessica Hilarious
She was all over the place.
- [103:40]
Charlamagne Tha God
I do wonder about that, though, because when you ready to move, you gonna move. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you choose to stay in a position, you're there because there's a part of you that actually wants to be there. Like, when that desire is really calling you to move, you gonna move.
- [103:55]
DJ Envy
But the problem is, is a lot of people don't want to move because it's starting over. A lot of people, like, well, where do I go to date?
- [104:00]
Jessica Hilarious
Right?
- [104:00]
DJ Envy
Where do I go to find somebody?
- [104:02]
Jessica Hilarious
Certain age, a certain amount of kids is like, who's going to want me?
- [104:05]
DJ Envy
How do I start over? Like, I don't even know how to. Like, when people come up, like, I don't even know how to date.
- [104:09]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [104:09]
DJ Envy
You know what I mean?
- [104:10]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [104:10]
Charlamagne Tha God
That one brother who called earlier who said that, you know, he be having desires, that was interesting to me, too, because I. I just feel like lust is a fleeting pleasure that always leaves you empty. And it's like eating junk food. Like, you made desire tired, but, you know, it's not good for you. And, you know, after you eat it, you're gonna be mad.
- [104:28]
DJ Envy
Yeah.
- [104:28]
Charlamagne Tha God
So just why do it?
- [104:30]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [104:30]
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, like. Like, you don't. You don't throw away something good just for lust. Like, if you've been eating clean and not on alcohol and working out for three months straight, and, like, you locked in on that, you don't just say, effort, I'm gonna go wild out.
- [104:45]
Jessica Hilarious
But it depends on your level of discipline, though. Like, you gotta be disciplined because people do chase them. Little temporary highs, like, definitely.
- [104:54]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's true.
- [104:55]
Jessica Hilarious
True.
- [104:55]
DJ Envy
All right, well, what's the story?
- [104:57]
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, the moral of the story is, man, find. Find what works for you. That's what. That's what I would say. But, you know, I. I just. Let's not just generalize all marriages and say, oh, people, you know, aren't happy. Like, they're all fronting, like, no.
- [105:09]
Jessica Hilarious
Find yourself. Find your person.
- [105:10]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right.
- [105:11]
DJ Envy
All right, well, when we come back, we got Pastor or Nala will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club.
- [105:25]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [105:25]
Charlamagne Tha God
Dj, come spin now. Come spin.
- [105:27]
DJ Envy
What's up, Nyla?
- [105:28]
Caller/Guest
Big Nyla.
- [105:29]
Angela Yee
Hey, guys.
- [105:30]
DJ Envy
You look so refreshed.
- [105:32]
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you.
- [105:32]
Nyla Simone
You know, I. I feel refreshed, actually, spiritually. So you got some rest? Actually, no. You know, I was DJing last night at Saint make sure you guys pull up on me every Thursday. I have a residency. The food's great, the music's great. But speaking of refresh, I Want to get into the Salt I album? They dropped it last Friday and it's been on repeat now. It's very neo soul, very hipster, but it has, like, a lot of positive affirmations, and I think it's just a good way to start the year as, like, a palate cleanser.
- [106:00]
Charlamagne Tha God
You said Salt. That's the name of the group.
- [106:01]
Nyla Simone
Yeah, Salt.
- [106:02]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
- [106:03]
Nyla Simone
They're. They're UK based, and the first record on there is called God Protect Me From My Enemies.
- [106:13]
Charlamagne Tha God
Me. Fire. Yeah, Fire.
- [106:23]
DJ Envy
It's hard now.
- [106:26]
Nyla Simone
They're a band, so it's singing, but it's a lot of instruments.
- [106:29]
Jessica Hilarious
But I love it, though.
- [106:30]
DJ Envy
Now that's hard.
- [106:31]
Angela Yee
Okay.
- [106:32]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay. I love it.
- [106:33]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah, girl.
- [106:34]
Charlamagne Tha God
Is it Saul or Salt?
- [106:35]
Jessica Hilarious
Salt.
- [106:35]

- [108:48]
DJ Envy
I like that record, though.
- [108:49]
Charlamagne Tha God
I have to listen to the whole project, but I just. Yeah, the only time you hear something about his music is when he's throwing a shot at Drake. Like, nobody ever be like Rihanna. I don't even hear about Rihanna. But nobody ever. Oh, yeah, I'm talking about the music.
- [109:00]
Nyla Simone
Yeah, they talking about the lines where he's talking about his wife.
- [109:02]
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, you never hear nobody be like, yo, that inside record was dope. Just cuz it was dope.
- [109:05]
DJ Envy
They saying Travis Scott. In the chat, they're saying it sounds like Travis Scott or. Or Offset kind of took his flow. That's what they're saying.
- [109:12]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, okay, I can hear that. I can hear that. I can hear that. Okay, okay.
- [109:16]
DJ Envy

- [109:17]
Charlamagne Tha God

- [109:17]
Nyla Simone
I don't know about Offset.
- [109:18]
Charlamagne Tha God
I can hear Travis. I can definitely hear Travis. For sure.
- [109:21]
Nyla Simone
Yeah. Okay, now the last one you guys probably already know is track two on disc two. J. Cole.
- [109:26]
Jessica Hilarious
Yes, ma'.

- [109:33]
Charlamagne Tha God
You got to stop. You know, I. I think JCole is dope.
- [109:36]
Nyla Simone
No, I don't know that.
- [109:37]
Charlamagne Tha God
I just. I think he's dope. I just don't.
- [109:38]
Jessica Hilarious
You just don't think he's number one.
- [109:40]
Charlamagne Tha God
I know he's not. J. Cole.
- [109:43]
DJ Envy
Get Busy.
- [109:44]
Nyla Simone
The question was never that he wasn't number one or that he wasn't dope. It's do we like the music still? I like that this is.
- [109:52]
Charlamagne Tha God
I never thought he talking some. I never didn't like jcole music. I just said, I said a very specific thing. I said that the number one. I said, hey, before the beef, he was saying he was numero uno Muhammad Ali. He was saying he wanted it with anybody. And then when he had the opportunity, he engaged and then he chose not to engage. So he kind of took himself out those conversations. So I'm just interested to hear the new album because I just want to hear what direction he's going in. That's all. Because he clearly doesn't care about being number one, which is fine.
- [110:21]
Nyla Simone
Well, well, we're all excited to hear this new album. And I'm actually for Certified Vibe, our first event is going to be be album listening party celebrating the release on February 6th.
