DJ Envy (0:30)

Listeners, good morning. It's Wednesday, middle of the week. Hopefully, you guys are feeling good.

Anton (0:34)

I feel great.

Charlamagne Tha God (0:35)

I feel great, because I'm alive, man. I'm alive. It is the holiday season.

That's it. Enjoy the moment. Absolutely. Enjoy the moment, and stock up on as much non-perishable items as you possibly can, and as much water as you possibly can. If you were here for Donkey the Day yesterday, you saw me give Donkey the Day to the Pentagon, because the Pentagon is preparing for 90 days without power. So ask yourself, why aren't you? Yeah?

SPEAKER_5 (1:00)

You know what I'm saying?

Charlamagne Tha God (1:02)

Ask yourself, why aren't you? But other than that, minus the BS, life's great. Life's great.

SPEAKER_6 (1:08)

Can't complain.

Charlamagne Tha God (1:08)

All my praises do to God.

DJ Envy (1:09)

Salute to all the Knicks fans out there. We finally won one last night. I was actually up a little late last night.

SPEAKER_6 (1:14)

I did win. I went to bed.

Charlamagne Tha God (1:16)

I stayed up till like the third quarter.

DJ Envy (1:17)

Yeah, it was up 20 in the third. I knew there was no way they would go, but I still wanted to see it play out. So salute to all the Knicks fans out there.

Charlamagne Tha God (1:22)

The Knicks finally realized that they're the defending champions. Yeah.

DJ Envy (1:25)

Sometimes you just got to get the rust off you a little bit. Nothing wrong with that. Long season, but let's get the show cracking. Nelly and Ashanti will be joining us this morning.

Charlamagne Tha God (1:33)

They got their new show, season two of their show, Nelly and Ashanti, We Belong Together.

DJ Envy (1:37)

That's right.

Charlamagne Tha God (1:37)

I think that premieres on Peacock on November 19th.

DJ Envy (1:40)

That's right, November. That's right. So they'll be joining us. And then Resmaa Menakem will be joining us.

Charlamagne Tha God (1:44)

One of my favorite people, one of my favorite authors, if you've ever read My Grandmother's Hands, you know, Resmaa Menakem is the author of that. And he's here with Charles Little II and Vincent Ventresca, promoting a new TV series called Imen.

DJ Envy (1:59)

Imen, yes. So we're going to be talking to them in a little bit. But let's get the show cracking, of course. Get it off your chest.

Lauren LaRosa (2:04)

What the hell is a chest?

DJ Envy (2:05)

Chest. 800-585-1051. I was going to ask that anybody speak to Mimi because she was hurt yesterday.

Charlamagne Tha God (2:10)

Let me tell you something. You know what's crazy? As much as you keep trying to put lotion on, your hands still look like sugar cookies. Boy, I'm going to tell you something about beige people when they're cold. Beige people, when they get cold, they start to look like sugar cookies. So you can apply all the lotion you want. It ain't going to change nothing. I still don't want to be dry. That's your blood level.

DJ Envy (2:24)

So?

SPEAKER_6 (2:25)

Still be dry and ashy.

Charlamagne Tha God (2:26)

Was that cold hit?

DJ Envy (2:27)

Yes.

Charlamagne Tha God (2:28)

Every beige person you know starts to look like a sugar cookie.

DJ Envy (2:30)

Oh my goodness. And Get It Off Your Chest, 800-535-10510. No, I didn't. I just said Mimi and you coming off.

SPEAKER_6 (2:36)

No, you did say Get It Off Your Chest. I said Get It Off Your Chest. You actually said Chef. I said Get It Off Your Chef, yes. I said Get It Off Your Chef, yes.

Charlamagne Tha God (2:40)

I don't know what you were trying to say about Mimi.

DJ Envy (2:42)

I know. I said Mimi was doing... Remember, Mimi was messed up yesterday. She lost her voice. She was sick.

And I don't see her on the screen, so I'm like, did anybody speak to Mimi? You spoke to her? Alright, well, let's get the show crack. What are we starting with?

Charlamagne Tha God (2:56)

Oh, Lil Boss and Trap Dickey. I ain't mad at that. I salute the Ferrari Simmons. Ferrari Simmons from our sister station 96, wanted to be. This is his record. I'm the man, Trap Dickey, Lil Boss, South Carolina all day.

DJ Envy (3:06)

It's The Breakfast Club.

Charlamagne Tha God (3:06)

Good morning.

DJ Envy (3:07)

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God, We Are The Breakfast Club. That was Lil Boss and Trap Dickey.

Charlamagne Tha God (3:13)

Yeah, I'm the man, Sleutha Ferrari-Simmons. You know, that's Ferrari's record.

Our guy Ferrari, who's on 96.1 to beat at our Atlanta station. My state is thriving. Striping the clues, bouncing South Carolina down. I got my original Charlie O'Varsity jacket on right now. 843 all day. Okay.
