Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. What's happening? How's everybody feeling out there?

I'm great. How you feeling? I feel blessed, black and holly favored. Jess Hilarious is here. I'm cool. Still my job. I came into work. What's up?

She's been trending all day. I think she's number nine right now. Okay. Because I was sitting at home last night trying to watch Magazine Dreams and I kept getting a bunch of phone calls and text messages and people is like, Jessi Larius is going off on live. But we have audio. Okay.

We supposed to be a team up there. Not one person, not one person comes to my defense at all. Like when I'm like not one mother ever with this online. Come on. I've been quiet a lot. If Jesselurus is quiet, it's a mother reason. I always got my mouth open all the time. It's ran like a high school. It is fair Eastside High.

I agree with that. Fair Eastside High. Fair point. Well for Mr. Clark though, every day and they always have a you ain't at work, you ain't at work. Yeah, I started picking up more shows. Hell no. That's how I'm getting.

Hell no. Hell no. I have more fun outside the studio than I have in there now. Is you crazy? No, act like that. No, act like, act like that's not for real. Act like nobody knew that. Stop acting like you're like, we really. What you. Act like nobody knew that. Stop acting like, like, we really.

What you mean we don't have your back? I have more. Break that down, explain how we don't have your back. Okay, all right, so the narrative, like I said, with the online-ish, that's what I said. Y'all ain't, ain't nobody trying to clear up no narrative about nothing. Ever since I came back, it was weird.

Yes, it was weird. Yeah, at first, no, I did not. I wasn't too It was weird. Yes, it was weird. Yeah, I at first know I did not I wasn't too fond of Lauren. No, I wasn't too fond of her when I came back because we had a whole plan even how when I when I came back how I pick her to fill in for me right. I come back. She ain't ever leave then. All right, cool to channel leave. But she's on only during my segment. If she was meant to be a full of hoes, move her in another way. Why she gotta be moved in on?

Because nobody had a problem with Jess with the Mess until she started reading right, you know what I mean? Until she started reporting. I wasn't hired as a reporter. I was hired as Jess with the Mess. So she started reading and delivering details and all that stuff. Then that's when Jess with the Mess wasn't good enough no more.

That's how it was presented. So I'm like, all right, cool. I feel you. But who said that though? Because of the internet? What are we talking about? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is our listeners. This is, yeah. Why can't we worry about the comments? And these are people that enjoy the show and watch the show. It's not all about Instagram, it's YouTube. It's like we have people that have been watching the show. Yeah, she's great at what she do.

That's why I picked her to fill in for me. But when I came back, it was it was it's kind of it's like what's going on if she's gonna be a fourth voice. Why she only got to be a fourth voice on my segment. She wasn't a fourth voice. She was a producer. She was hired as a news producer to help with getting all news and doing interview questions. She was gonna be the senior news producer. She wasn't on air. When you came back, Lauren was not on air. She was in the back doing questions,

sending interview questions, reporting the news in my line. I thought you was, I thought- Yeah, you were on air. She was on air. They told her don't step in this room. Yes, but I thought you was using her on purpose. What? You thought I was using Lauren on purpose? Yes. No! What

are we talking about? No, no, no. She didn't leave when I came back. The first day, the first day we had a whole situation like, all right, look, this was gonna happen and when it's time for us to roll, it changed. No, the first question was about, only person who asked me about my baby maternity leave was Indy. All right, I walked in. She addressed the hate in the comments. That was the first thing she addressed when I came back.

I'm like, what the hell, what do you think I wanna talk about? So yeah, yeah, yeah, we started talking off air. We started talking off air. What I'm saying, even prior to you even coming back. So then I felt uncomfortable that first day. So I'm like, all right, look There was the IRI. I will just take her off air. She was back the next week All right, cool because there was a voice they y'all wanted her on air. There was a voice

They you know, they wanted her there. They wanted her here. There's there's a place for Lauren in the show. All right, cool Yeah, because you said you wanted to change the segment from just with the mess to the Lauren that was All right, cool. If there's a place for her on the show, let's do it another way. Yeah. Because you said you wanted to change the segment from Jess with the Mess to Lauren. That was eventually, eventually, even when it even when it came down to it still being called Jess with the Mess and then I'm introducing her to introduce stories.

That was pointless and it was stupid. It's no Jess with the Mess. Just make it Brown Girl Grinding or Lauren with the Latest or Lauren's Legal Corner. I'm giving ideas. I'm giving ideas I know I even with the tailor go change I changed that take that just with the mess off it I feel like I'm getting credit for something I'm not doing and it's stupid because that's this is not what she does is not just with the mess I read headlines and I give commenting I say what people thinking I agree yes she's more of a reporter she's

journalism question what why didn't you wear the durag this morning cuz why you I agree. Could I ask a question though? Yes, she's more of a reporter. She's journalism. Can I ask a question? What? Why didn't you wear the durag this morning? Because. Why you joke so much, man? What you mean? I'm joking. It's not a durag. It's a silk scarf, man.

But it's not. It's not a joke. If people bring it to the radio, I want to laugh. It's not a joke. It's not a joke. It's a serious issue about it. It is a serious issue. OK, let me just sit back and watch it then.

Because I'm just not Joe Clark. Because it's not. I am, actually. Give me my baseball bat. Now it's uh now Envy that's what I'm saying. No nobody has even tried to clean up the narrative that I'm a villain. Man I- You're not a villain. Who said you were a villain? Wait yo stop acting like you don't live in them comments too Sharla. Stop acting like you don't understand. But what do I always tell you? I say stop listening to the internet. Stop listening to the comments, stop listening to the folks on YouTube, don't let them trick you out your position.

What you did last night is what they want you to do and you can't let the internet win. Oh, but look, it's not even about what they want me to do. I did last night what I wanted to do, what I felt like I should have been did. I've been asking questions. The internet loves mess. And one of the easiest ways to create mess

is to pit people against each other, especially two women. And I don't dwell in that. And y'all know that. Yeah, but see, this is the thing. You let the internet dictate what's going on. We've had conversations, and this is the thing, this is why I thought it was corny, and this is just me personally.

I thought it was corny because we have conversations up here. We just have a meeting. If you had an issue, a problem, a situation, or something that you felt, why you ain't bringing it to the team? When you came back, Jess, I pulled you to the side. I said, Jess, if you feel uncomfortable, if you don't want Lauren in the room, this is your show.

We can make that change whenever you want. Did I not? Did I not say that to you? Yeah, you did. It's not about wanting her in the room, yo. It's about the segment. Like if she was, it was like y'all wanted her. If you had a problem say

to us we had a meeting yesterday not like that not like nobody having my back because we have your back as far as the corrie holcomb thing y'all been beefing for 11 years i'm not whining about yo it's not even about you worried about comments and you worried about what people say after i'm worried about the perception and my reputation to be on the show they've been itching on me for 15 years they've been issuing on straight away for 15 years. They've been itching on straight A's for 15 years. But that's on you. And the things that people itch on me for is on me. I don't let it affect me because I know who I am as a person.

I don't give a F with them people saying the comments. I know who I am. I know what I do. You let them people get in the comments and F with you. You're great at what you do. Everybody simmer down. Like, you a dope. You're very dope.

You let them people piss you off? No, after nickers. You you nicely what you do is funny I tell her that all the time on air brought that energy that we needed to the Breakfast Club and you let a bitch-ass Person in a comma say something to stare you about after niggas These people are they could be bots and all that but and we and we doing it on air when we could have did it behind The scenes like I f with you the long way, not on some internet ish. And the hair that threw that, that was whack man. This sounds very light skinned, but let's go to the phones.

1-800-585-105, one of us open the phone lines. Everybody woo-sah. I'm going to get a sparkling water man. I got my candles lit. I got my candles lit. If you need me to light sage, I'll light sage. Jess want to fight? NBB and Beige Rage.
