[Po Gotti (Caller)]

I keep causing this friction between me and my old lady, man. Not taking her abilities consideration.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, what you be doing, man?

[Po Gotti (Caller)]

I ain't gonna lie, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'll be.

[Po Gotti (Caller)]

I'll be on some old sneaky cheese.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, bro. How old are you, man?

[Po Gotti (Caller)]

36. 36.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, I'm not gonna be a judgmental person, but I will tell you that When I was 36 years old, I stopped cold turkey. That was 2016. I was 36 years old, and I was exactly where you were. And I said to myself, if I want to be the. The. The husband and the father I need to be, then I gotta stop be doing this BS that I was on. And I'm telling you that you. I thought you need to do the same thing, brother.

[Po Gotti (Caller)]

You're absolutely right. She's having my bag. I did seven years in federal prison. I came home, she's been holding me down, having my back. I'm just. I'm just a piece of ass, man crap. But I love her. I want to be with her, and that's what it is for me. So I'm just giving myself the donkey for causing this friction for the last week.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Brother, the best apology is change behavior. And I want to tell you a scripture, man. First. Corinthians 13, 11. When I child, I talk like a child. I thought like a child. I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. You got to put Down. You got to put that childish way of cheating behind you, my brother. And I'm going tell you something else. I tell brothers this all the time. When I did that 10 years ago and. And. And devoted myself to my wife, I promise you, my life has been nothing but amazing in every way. Spiritually, mentally, emotionally, financially, physically. I am the best me I've ever been.

[Po Gotti (Caller)]

Amen. That's the path I'm trying to be on, man. I appreciate the advice.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want that for you, brother.

[Po Gotti (Caller)]

All right, I'm gonna tell him. Malik, I love you, and that's what it is. Me and you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, sir. I really do want that for that, brother. Man, I'm telling you, y' all ain't missing nothing out here.

[Co-host / Radio Personality]

I want that for all brothers out there. Once they realize that, I mean, their whole life, like Charlamagne said, their whole life was changing. And not just financially, mentally, physically, just spiritually, emotionally.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You don't got to deal with the. You don't got to deal with that anxiety from lying and cheating.

[Co-host / Radio Personality]

Like, sleep better.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You sleep better, man. How you go to sleep every night. The person you say you love the most, that's your best friend, but that's the person you lying to. Like you. I promise you, my brothers, your life will change for the better when you stop being out here, you know, cheating.

[Co-host / Radio Personality]

Charlie may be lying sometimes, but he ain't lying there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who be lying?

[Co-host / Radio Personality]

Nobody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When I lie, I tell y', all.

[Unidentified Caller 1]

You always say you be lying, but that's so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's not lying. See what I'm saying? If I tell you I'm lying, that's not lying.

[Co-host / Radio Personality]

Oh, my goodness.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But we do. We do the donkey of the day every Friday. The people's donkey. You can call in 1-800-585-1051 and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid. Thank y' all for calling. Or you can go to the iHeartRadio app and go to the Talkback app. Leave a message there as well. Now it's Friday, so you know what that means. It's freaky, freaky, Freaky Friday. Now, earlier, Mimi Brown was doing front page news, and she gave us this little. This little bit of information.

[News Segment Host]

So a new New York Times poll, a Sienna poll finds polarization is now seen as the second biggest problem facing the country, right behind the economy. And experts say social media may be the main reason that divide feels so sharp. So apps like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X, they're built to keep us scrolling. And those posts that grab us the fastest are the ones that push our buttons. It's called rage bait. Content that is designed to spark outrage and get people arguing in the comments. And some creators even admit their biggest videos are the ones that stir up controversy. And the algorithms they reward that outrage. The more emotional the post, the more likely you are to click, share and keep watching. That's why the most hostile partisan content often rises to the top of your feed. Now, critics say that these platforms know exactly what they're doing, arguing that rage is even more powerful than sex when it comes to keeping us online.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So it got me to thinking, y' all really like being on social media more than y' all like having sex.

[Unidentified Caller 1]

No, that's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's crazy. Who y' all having sex with? The wrong.

[Co-host / Radio Personality]

Y' all having sex with the wrong people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, Ain't no way is there people really like that.

[Co-host / Radio Personality]

No. So what is the question? Do you like insta social media more than sex?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like social media more than sex.

[Co-host / Radio Personality]

Would you prefer to be on social media and then be on top of somebody? Word.

[Unidentified Caller 1]

I would think that's like the younger generation. I don't know. Because they're so engulfed in the, you know, the Internet and not reality, but like the Internet. I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know.

[Unidentified Caller 1]

We got to take a poll to see if that's like the age groups or whatever, because I don't. I'm not. That's not sitting right with me. That data is not sitting right with me. As far as adults go.

[Co-host / Radio Personality]

Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Would you prefer to be on Facebook, MySpace, Black Planet, Tick Tock, Snapchat? Other than getting in some pants or panties or whatever you want to call it, 800-585-514. You just be letting your men and.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Women every now and then.

[Co-host / Radio Personality]

Not just me, it's men and women.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just be letting it slip out. You'd be letting it slip out. You'd be letting it slip out the crack. Literally.

[Co-host / Radio Personality]

Oh, my goodness. The breakfast time.

[Po Gotti (Caller)]
