It has love in it, it has faith in it,
it's just and it has food in it. But it

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Help me do it.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
It's a healthy, healthy drama.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Don't bring a lot of company with you if you
want to tell the truth, because you got.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
A new whole family on the other side.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
Yeah, because my husband is half Mexicans, so they all come.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
And you won't know what they are about one stand
of word. That's why you gotta learn.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
You gotta learn.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Now you can put you have to tell me, you
know what they say there you go and hear what
Spanish in your and I will tell you. Then look
at the baby, make sure it's his, you know, check
the toes and the ears and stuff like.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I love man, not a lot I love.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
Look like a lot of Puerto Ricans. A lot of
us don't speak Spanish. So yeah, but I am my
mom's Puerto Rican for sure.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I'm just And my mother said, and I said, how
come you teach your Spanish? She said, in case I
wanted to say something bad about your father.
Speaker 9 (03:17):
I.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Didn't know.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
I didn't even know that about you.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I want to ask you.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
You've been part of so many multiple generations, and yes,
can you believe it?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Yes? I can't.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
How do you stay connected to like every generation of
storytellers in the audience?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I think being your authentic self that they know it's
something true, you know, I mean, I don't have to rest,
but I usually tell the truth when everybody else is quiet.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
But you know, there were always children who would say
something and you would look.
Speaker 9 (03:57):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It was one time my mother took me to this
friend's house and I said, excuse me, do you know
you walk like a woman and my mother said, her
hand was so close to my face.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
He said, no, no, but do I he said, show me?
I said, you want me to show you how you walk?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
And he was a little special.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Jesus, you.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Just say that so somebody identifies with being a little off,
you know what I mean? And my mother would say,
she fell on her head before she was born, so
you have to excuse anything that comes out her mouth.
And I said, oh, I didn't understand what it meant,
but it meant she might say something that's inappropriate. And
I think that's what it connects with every generation, you know,
(04:46):
I mean, because we don't know when we do these things,
what the audience has been like. We really don't know
which movie. You know, I had no idea Friday was
going to be as big as it was. Interesting. Don't know?
Have they called you for the new one? Was that
new one going for twenty four years?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
They film me?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, twenty four years? Okay, yeah, yeah, I want.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
To ask I we here to talk about Christ. But
whatever y'all learned from this horse, let's start with you.
Oh yeah, no, I need to know. I know this
was going on set.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
It was amazing, don't said the one thing I learned
is I can't wait to get older and say whatever
I do.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
So people just laugh and they'd be like, she's, oh,
she's so cute.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
She don't never lie, you know, she don't lie. She
she ain't got the rest, but she ast what she said.
But also, like what she just said, being your authentic
self promotes longevity, right.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I met her.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
We met like twenty maybe like twenty four years ago,
and I was living in North Carolina and went to
a theater festival in Atlanta into her and he introduced
me to her, and she was so kind to me,
and she told me, then you just got to keep,
you know, being consistent, keep pursuing it, and one.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Day it'll happen.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
And so when I saw her on set, I reminded
her that I had met her. I was completely different then,
you know, I had some little locks in my hair.
I was like straight out of you know, coming from
Greensboro hosting, and it was just like it was surreal
for me to like be on a set with someone
who I consider like a living legends and I come
for so many of us. But yeah, I say, longevity
(06:32):
is one of the things that I've been blessed to
witness with you, you know something.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
So we did Vacation Friends. Ye actually played my mom.
I didn't realize how funny she was and she you
don't notice when we shoot Vacation Friends, you literally did
something like my Mom.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It was. It wasn't in the script.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
I think I was like my characters acting like he
was kind of embarrassed. He's like, so if you embarrassed
by me, I just go home. It was, but it
was almost surreal to Wow. But watching you do this
thing where you don't even have to say words, you
could just make a face.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
And to me, that's a skill set too.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
I think like somebody like you and David Allen Greer,
who I look at, that people just make their reactions
is more than a word. And so that's one of
the things I learned from just work with you, because
also you're just amazing and you're so honest.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You may I don't know what she's gonna say half
the time.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
That's what I love.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Well.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
I met miss Anna when I was fourteen years old.
The Parenthood and the Wayne's Brothers started off the WB
network back in the day, so I've known her for
the majority of my career. Thirty years of my career,
and what Tabatha said is so true, Like miss Anna
reminds me of that time when I was around Robert
Townsend and all of these folks who have been grinding
(07:47):
since since the sixties and the seventies, and the lessons
that they give us, like she is a treasure, a
national treasure, and.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I've never worked with her. So this has just been amazing.
Speaker 10 (07:57):
You.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
Me and my mama set out of father because she
told me, she was like, hey, your daddy.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
What's the biggest lesson you?
Speaker 6 (08:15):
You try to instill and just people about longevity and grace.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I think you can't be distracted by racism, other people's
definition of you, your truth if you just know that
you are here for purpose and nobody can take that
from you. You know what I'm saying When people say
you didn't get your flowers, I got my flowers. You know,
because I've been working much longer. I ask God for
(08:42):
one I said, just prove to.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Me that I'm an actress.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Give me one job, because you know, nobody believed it
except your mother at first. And then you get the
one job and you say, oh, well that wasn't bad.
And then you get another and I still every time
I get a job, it's like the first one. Really yeah,
because somebody believes in you.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I mean somebody.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
It's not hard, you know, and you look at other people.
I was telling Jess, I was following her for years.
I'm saying, oh, she's so wonderful and this, and I
really feeling because you know, said, look at that and
something you didn't think of. But you know it's the truth.
And I think if you just understand that we're in
(09:28):
a world that there is enough for everybody. Everybody can
have five hundred family. Now you've got more than five hundred.
You can have you know, millions or whatever. But just
know that even if you don't believe in a higher force,
they are people watching you in your neighborhood, your parents,
your godparents, somebody's watching you.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
And just make sure you feel good. At the end
of the night.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
We have more with the cash from Unexpected Christmas when
we come back a little rel Tabatha Brown, Reagan Gomez,
and Anna Marie Horse for when we come back.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning.
Speaker 9 (10:14):
I don't know when my names became so complicated, can
be called my mornings everything. It's Bady Baby, This this
called my gover thish, I'm Jady tis days on my mind,
tisdays on Mama trying to pull him bus I know
my paisy feeling my mom in and I'm clothing in
(10:37):
the next one flipping and no bring somebody, no spect,
she don't desert it.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Oh, it's still on Mama.
Speaker 10 (10:46):
She's still on my mind on every Today.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
And be Jess Larry and Charlamage the guy we are
the Breakfast Club is still kicking it with Little rel
top of the Brown, Reagan Gold Mess and Anna Marie
Horse for the cast of Unexpected Christmas. How do you
decide part you picked? Because when you pick your roles,
they are not the same. Amen, It's not like Friday,
which is not like I.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Was a virtuous woman and somebody tried to sell a
nasty story and I said, what the editor called my
press agency, somebody is trying to say a terrible story
about her. I said, that is not true. So it's
you better pick the rolls that people you know, because
people really believe black people. Now I don't know about
(11:27):
white people. Black people believe there is no division between
reality and TV. How's your husband and I do stay
in touch with Clifton. I said, he's fine. I got
a new husband now this movie. Rico's my new husband.
(11:49):
A few other husbands in between. I can't remember all
of them, but they're all good to me. They're all
good to me. But it's just that you have a brand,
even if you don't know you have a brand. And
my brand is kind of decent human being who's honest,
you know what I mean, Just to be honest with
Even if the line is I have gone up for things,
(12:10):
I said, this is not me, not me. No, No,
my people won't believe it, and I don't believe it
even in acting. No, there's one and I just said
I can't. I said, the words can't even come out
my mouth. You know, it was low, low low. Somebody
else got it, a friend of mine, and I was
happy for her.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
But no, everything is not for you.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I always believe that what we get, the roles we get,
it's somebody else that you're supposed to meet there. It's
not just the role. God gives everybody a talent, and
the talent is so that you can use to get
to affect the people you're supposed to meet along that road.
But if I'm supposed to go to Georgia. The other
people I'm supposed to meet a long way in Georgia.
(12:56):
It's not just the movie, you know, it's somebody else
whose life I'm supposed to be affected.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Wow, on this film, who did you meet?
Speaker 9 (13:05):
Like?
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Who I met?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
All these colored people? Let me just say she had
a revelation because girlfriend didn't know all of this mess
was going on. She did not know. And then I
can't say because I haven't seen the completed movie yet,
but there was one scene that I felt really strong,
(13:28):
and the producers allowed me to do some improvisation on it.
When the child comes back, you know, because children like
to grow up and then kind of read their parents
and tell them everything they did wrong. You're all shaking
your head. Forget that, no parent, want no report card.
We did the best week? Could we change the nasty diapers?
(13:52):
Listen to all that foolishness, And all I'm saying is
some things you get right, somethings younger right. You know,
you'd be person, but parent is not perfect. And when
that scene came up, I said, oh, let me do
a little of this. And I haven't seen it, but
I hope it addresses that issue where no, no, no,
(14:13):
you're gonna tell me, But let me just tell you
a little something too, because I don't think we look
we only look from one perspective what you didn't do
for me.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Well, let me tell you what you didn't do for me,
you know, because.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Nobody gives you the handbook on parenting and it's still
in there too.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
It's like all of us has been doing like this
press run. That's one of the most important parts of
the movie. Oh yeah, you know, I don't know who
said it, but like I she's a woman too, She's like, yeah, human,
you're human, So like it's.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Still when you see it, you'll see.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
I think you know, I was gonna say one of
the things that miss Anna was talking about, and I
don't want to give too much away, but we're so
used to our mothers and elders telling us do what
I say, just do it, don't ever talk back to me.
But when you become an adult, you do have questions
about things that happen to you. And one of the
things that I love is to sing with you. And
(15:09):
Dominique Perry, who's not here, she loves the show. She
plays my sister, but she confronts her mother and her
without giving too much away, her mother listens and apologizes,
and that is something that I really hope folks take
away from this. You can always apologize and do better.
So that's one of the things I love about this film.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
I apologize with my kids all the time, and I
agree with everything y'all saying, because I think that we
often forget our parents had a life before you.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Yeah, they were just a girl and a guy. Yeah,
that's very interesting. I at one point told my parents,
I said, I want to know who you were before
you became my mother and father. So what I did
is I went back to both of their hometown and
just to see who they were, because I said, oh,
(15:55):
and then I interviewed them because I didn't know. And
mother surprised me a lot.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
She said, I said, how many men you had? Mama?
Camera man said that your mother?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I said, god, she said three. But you know after
they won't come out the same, They want the same.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
And I said, okay. I said, well, what would you
say if your daughter had a lot more than that?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
She said, if it took a hundred men to make
my daughter happy, I'm happy for her.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
And I said, who is this woman? Who is I mean, isn't.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
That But it's just because we don't know who they are.
You know, they start and then at a certain point,
if you, if you're lucky enough to have your parents
live long enough, because a lot of us lose them,
(16:52):
you become the parent to this child and you see,
oh the kindness.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
You know.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
It's just it's so interesting that and I think I'm blessed.
We all are blessed to be able to have a
fantasy of I want to be an act. I want
to before, I want to stand on stage, and then
you get to have it done and people know you.
I mean, every other black person in America, especially up town,
(17:21):
knows me. How you know it's me? You know what
you know it's me? And you meet them how they
meet you in the house, you know, because I have
been in your living room all over on the radio
and the car, you know, for a long time. So
I can't laugh or talk to loud because they know me.
(17:46):
I know, you look like yourself.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
We have more with the cash from Unexpected Christmas. When
we come back Little Well, Tabitha Brown, Reagan gold Mass
and Anna Marie horse Fo When we come back as
the Breakfast Club good morning.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I used to think that time was it fun enough?
And I used to think.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
That time was a world enough. I've all waste my time.
Speaker 10 (18:12):
Trying to figure out why are you playing in chains?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Was this all about? And a case of money? You're
hurt in me?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I made your girl?
Speaker 10 (18:24):
What the difference?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Would you see?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
How we see any?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
But I guess it.
Speaker 10 (18:32):
Was all just made believe? Never tell was this but
I do please? Not a kissing a fem not?
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Never did tub this.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Morning?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Everybody is the dj n V Jess Hilarious Charlamage, The
God we Are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it
with the cast of Unexpected Christmas, Little rel Tapatha Brown,
Reagan Goldmez and Anna Marie Horsfoot Charlamage.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
This movie is going to empower a lot of people
over the holidays to have those conversations. You know, one
of the one of my first breakthroughs in therapy was
realizing that my dad used to discipline me for things
he never taught me. And so when we had a
conversation and he started telling me about his own issues
and he tried to commit suicide and he was, you know,
different medication for Once I realized all that It gave.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Me a level of grace for him that.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I know, Yeah, you lucky if we got a chance
to look at them like that.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
That's wow.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
We also have a conversation with her.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
That's one of my struggles now is that you know,
my dad has dementia, and it's like, you know, going
through therapy and like recognizing some moments were like dang,
he wasn't. I had to get to a point where
I understood not even just my dad, just people who
loved me. It wasn't necessary hating that they didn't believe
in me. They was scared for me because I was
taking a chance doing something nobody did, so it was
(20:16):
more or less a protection thing. It wasn't that they
didn't believe in you. They just didn't want you to
be hurt, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
So like the trade school by familiar to them. You know,
you see people who work trades all the time.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Same with Like with me, I wanted to be an
actress since I was a little girl, but we didn't.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Know nobody in my family.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
So my mama was like, Okay, I know you want
to do that, but you also make clothes.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
So my great great aunt was the town seamstress.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
So she said, once you go to school for fashion design,
because if the acting thing don't work out, then you
have that.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
It wasn't that she was discouraging.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
She was just telling me, like, I know, we know
what that looks like. You can actually do that. So
you know, let me ask you, how would you be
with your kids? Right, because the same thing with me. Right,
My mom said, get a job.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
With a hat. That was a thing. Get a job
with that hat and you.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Work for twenty years, you get retirement in your cupboard.
Right when I was a DJ, they thought the DJ
thing was cute. Until after I got heated from college
and I still did it. There was like I got
enough enough. But now I look at it and I'm like,
I would never be that right. But then I look
at if my son ten years ago said Dad, I
want to be a gamer, I'd.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Be like, boy, if you don't get the cost.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Forty million to get scholarships to college? Now doing gaming
all across the world, Oh yes, the world, And.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I think you have to.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I mean it's really interesting children, you know, when they're
looking for advice, I said, your voice should be louder
when God talks to you. He tells you, you know,
because there's a little girl like Tapas. I said, Mommy,
I got to go to Hollywood. And I would practice
walking down the steps. Of course I would fall a
lot because I had on heels. And she said, your
(21:57):
ass gonna be broken by the time you get to Hollywood.
And one time I was going somewhere and my back
was I said, she was right. Years after, but God
tells you what you were here for, what you were
here for. And I remember one time I said, oh,
my mother said, oh, you look just like a lamp
(22:19):
post girl.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
And I said, oh, I'm a real actress.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I said, about four or five, I didn't know what
a lamp post girl was. It was a prostitute in
Santa Domingo. But I thought, wow. I put my hat
on and I had something else and she said, ooh,
and I'm just like a lamp post girl.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
And I said she didn't know what was me.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I'm a lamp post girl, No, Mama, I never did.
I never became one, but I acted like one. But again,
God talks to you. He tells you what you came
here for. There's no mistakes, even though you don't have
any reference. This one wasn't that this one wasn't that.
Listen to that voice, make that voice louder than any
(23:02):
outside voice coming to you because they don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Well, my family, I had to like, I remember when
it was they were being combative to it. But I'm like, well,
y'all raised me and told me I could do anything.
Should you raise me too good? So I can't listen
to what you said, you know what I mean? Like,
it's really interesting, but once again it came out of
fear right. And one of the things I love about
my family is that they end up apologizing. When I
(23:29):
first moved to New York and I got my first show,
they literally threw a dinner together and apologizing. And so
now to this point they are crazy supportive.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Like you see them with little real shirts.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
You're teaching that, you're teaching them also, And I think
for our children, we always look at them as ours, ours,
little usses. But they grow up and they grow into
their own people, and then one day you need their help,
you need their advice, and you realize, oh, they're part
of my community.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
And it does flip as your parents get older.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
My mother is in her seventies, and it's very much
like girl, why you didn't do what I told you?
Speaker 4 (24:06):
You know, talking back and all of that. So life
is very interesting.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
Just one quick question, and it's in regards to the
movie and everything we're talking about. Now, do you personally
believe that family should always be forgiven?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I know you're talking about stepparents, but.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Just thinks.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
That's a good question.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Yeah, I believe everyone can be forgiven. Right, forgiveness is
not for the other person, it's for you. And so forgiveness,
even in family, doesn't mean we have to be together.
It doesn't mean that you have to be back in
my life. It just means I have forgiven you and
(24:58):
I'm going about my busines. You got something some deep pain, though,
like from some family members that absolutely can't reverse.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
Like especially if they're not asking for your forgiveness, if
they don't see nothing wrong, then it makes it hard
for even if you want to forgive.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah, but that's the thing about forgiveness. When it's for you,
you don't have to say it to that person. It's
so that you can move forward in your life without hinderance. Right,
Because sometimes you can hold something against someone holds yourself bad.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Right, you can't move forward.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
So it's not for them, right, especially because we've all
been heard and there's some things that people do that
feels like that is it can't be forgiven, Like it
just can't. But to them, they may go to you know,
they rest in place feeling like you never.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Forgave them, and that's their business to feel.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
For you to live your life in peace, forgiveness has
to live in your heart.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
I went to see a play called Oh Happy Day
that's out here. Oh man, it's so good and it's
a great song they have really with that subject.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
It's you know, it's just something. I don't know the
lives exactly.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I heard the essay, but it's like, can you forgive
the personal situation that hurts you the most? And it
was God asking that question to Jordan's Cooper's character, because
that's how you move home.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
You gotta move.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
You can't sit in that, you know what I mean,
because it really affects you and you can't get it.
Ain't about seeing what. I don't need nothing from you.
I don't need you to say it is what it is.
I forgive you and we ain't got to talk again.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
I wonder what that looks like though, I wonder what
it looks like forgiving somebody training, God talk to you
know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Like, what does that look like?
Speaker 11 (26:38):
And it looks like freedom, it's a feel like it
looks and feels like joy, happiness, Like you can see
somebody be like they went through all that and they
still looking.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Y's still showing.
Speaker 7 (26:52):
Because it takes a lot of energy to hold on
to that, to that anger, whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
So you're absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
And also like when you think about like is of
the heart, you know, most people hurt you. They hurt
your heart, right, you know, if you think forgiveness is
something that has to happen, it's not about like it
hurts your feelings, it hurts your heart. So whether that
whatever that thing was, it was a past relationship, the
longer you hold the grudge, the longer you block that
(27:19):
part of the heart for you to be loved, to
get there.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
For your release so that we can get what God
has for us.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
There you go, Oh, this is a.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Christmas is this Friday? Thank you so much for joining us.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Now this this movie takes a lot of turns.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
It takes a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Of turn or break down a movie for people that
want to go check this movie out.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
What are they expected in this unexpected Christmas movie?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
About giving it a waio?
Speaker 5 (00:44):
But this one tells a lot because it's such a
conversation piece and like I have been playing Richard is
I kind of got us back most of the time.
So I'm trying not to say stuff without telling people.
But it is a beautiful movie. It's really funny.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
It's a lot of drama in it, but the drama
end up making sense and then you see people coming.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
To it's healthy drama.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
It has love in it, it has faith in it,
it's just and it has food in it. But it
is this is a different twist than you've seen in
other Christmas movies. And that's why I really love that's
why I wanted to do it in the first place.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
That's little New York, Little La. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
Yes, why does black family movies gotta have so much drama?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Black families got so much.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
As long as there's.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Resolution, that's the part that means we're making something good
for the black family. That's the part.
Speaker 7 (01:40):
And you know, people come home for the holidays and
you might not have seen your family all year and
you've been mad at them about something, but now you
see them at the table, it's like, we're gonna talk
about this right now.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
That's life and.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
That's about to come up because we've got a few
more weeks. We got Thanksgiving, some conversations my family, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
So this movie is gonna.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Help me do it.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
It's a healthy, healthy drama.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Don't bring a lot of company with you if you
want to tell the truth, because you got.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
A new whole family on the other side.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
Yeah, because my husband is half Mexicans, so they all come.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
And you won't know what they are about one stand
of word. That's why you gotta learn.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
You gotta learn.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Now you can put you have to tell me, you
know what they say there you go and hear what
Spanish in your and I will tell you. Then look
at the baby, make sure it's his, you know, check
the toes and the ears and stuff like.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I love man, not a lot I love.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
Look like a lot of Puerto Ricans. A lot of
us don't speak Spanish. So yeah, but I am my
mom's Puerto Rican for sure.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I'm just And my mother said, and I said, how
come you teach your Spanish? She said, in case I
wanted to say something bad about your father.
Speaker 9 (03:17):
I.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Didn't know.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
I didn't even know that about you.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I want to ask you.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
You've been part of so many multiple generations, and yes,
can you believe it?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Yes? I can't.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
How do you stay connected to like every generation of
storytellers in the audience?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I think being your authentic self that they know it's
something true, you know, I mean, I don't have to rest,
but I usually tell the truth when everybody else is quiet.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
But you know, there were always children who would say
something and you would look.
Speaker 9 (03:57):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It was one time my mother took me to this
friend's house and I said, excuse me, do you know
you walk like a woman and my mother said, her
hand was so close to my face.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
He said, no, no, but do I he said, show me?
I said, you want me to show you how you walk?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
And he was a little special.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Jesus, you.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Just say that so somebody identifies with being a little off,
you know what I mean? And my mother would say,
she fell on her head before she was born, so
you have to excuse anything that comes out her mouth.
And I said, oh, I didn't understand what it meant,
but it meant she might say something that's inappropriate. And
I think that's what it connects with every generation, you know,
(04:46):
I mean, because we don't know when we do these things,
what the audience has been like. We really don't know
which movie. You know, I had no idea Friday was
going to be as big as it was. Interesting. Don't know?
Have they called you for the new one? Was that
new one going for twenty four years?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
They film me?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, twenty four years? Okay, yeah, yeah, I want.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
To ask I we here to talk about Christ. But
whatever y'all learned from this horse, let's start with you.
Oh yeah, no, I need to know. I know this
was going on set.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
It was amazing, don't said the one thing I learned
is I can't wait to get older and say whatever
I do.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
So people just laugh and they'd be like, she's, oh,
she's so cute.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
She don't never lie, you know, she don't lie. She
she ain't got the rest, but she ast what she said.
But also, like what she just said, being your authentic
self promotes longevity, right.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I met her.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
We met like twenty maybe like twenty four years ago,
and I was living in North Carolina and went to
a theater festival in Atlanta into her and he introduced
me to her, and she was so kind to me,
and she told me, then you just got to keep,
you know, being consistent, keep pursuing it, and one.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Day it'll happen.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
And so when I saw her on set, I reminded
her that I had met her. I was completely different then,
you know, I had some little locks in my hair.
I was like straight out of you know, coming from
Greensboro hosting, and it was just like it was surreal
for me to like be on a set with someone
who I consider like a living legends and I come
for so many of us. But yeah, I say, longevity
(06:32):
is one of the things that I've been blessed to
witness with you, you know something.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
So we did Vacation Friends. Ye actually played my mom.
I didn't realize how funny she was and she you
don't notice when we shoot Vacation Friends, you literally did
something like my Mom.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It was. It wasn't in the script.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
I think I was like my characters acting like he
was kind of embarrassed. He's like, so if you embarrassed
by me, I just go home. It was, but it
was almost surreal to Wow. But watching you do this
thing where you don't even have to say words, you
could just make a face.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
And to me, that's a skill set too.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
I think like somebody like you and David Allen Greer,
who I look at, that people just make their reactions
is more than a word. And so that's one of
the things I learned from just work with you, because
also you're just amazing and you're so honest.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You may I don't know what she's gonna say half
the time.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
That's what I love.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Well.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
I met miss Anna when I was fourteen years old.
The Parenthood and the Wayne's Brothers started off the WB
network back in the day, so I've known her for
the majority of my career. Thirty years of my career,
and what Tabatha said is so true, Like miss Anna
reminds me of that time when I was around Robert
Townsend and all of these folks who have been grinding
(07:47):
since since the sixties and the seventies, and the lessons
that they give us, like she is a treasure, a
national treasure, and.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I've never worked with her. So this has just been amazing.
Speaker 10 (07:57):
You.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
Me and my mama set out of father because she
told me, she was like, hey, your daddy.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
What's the biggest lesson you?
Speaker 6 (08:15):
You try to instill and just people about longevity and grace.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I think you can't be distracted by racism, other people's
definition of you, your truth if you just know that
you are here for purpose and nobody can take that
from you. You know what I'm saying When people say
you didn't get your flowers, I got my flowers. You know,
because I've been working much longer. I ask God for
(08:42):
one I said, just prove to.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Me that I'm an actress.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Give me one job, because you know, nobody believed it
except your mother at first. And then you get the
one job and you say, oh, well that wasn't bad.
And then you get another and I still every time
I get a job, it's like the first one. Really yeah,
because somebody believes in you.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I mean somebody.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
It's not hard, you know, and you look at other people.
I was telling Jess, I was following her for years.
I'm saying, oh, she's so wonderful and this, and I
really feeling because you know, said, look at that and
something you didn't think of. But you know it's the truth.
And I think if you just understand that we're in
(09:28):
a world that there is enough for everybody. Everybody can
have five hundred family. Now you've got more than five hundred.
You can have you know, millions or whatever. But just
know that even if you don't believe in a higher force,
they are people watching you in your neighborhood, your parents,
your godparents, somebody's watching you.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
And just make sure you feel good. At the end
of the night.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
We have more with the cash from Unexpected Christmas when
we come back a little rel Tabatha Brown, Reagan Gomez,
and Anna Marie Horse for when we come back.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning.
Speaker 9 (10:14):
I don't know when my names became so complicated, can
be called my mornings everything. It's Bady Baby, This this
called my gover thish, I'm Jady tis days on my mind,
tisdays on Mama trying to pull him bus I know
my paisy feeling my mom in and I'm clothing in
(10:37):
the next one flipping and no bring somebody, no spect,
she don't desert it.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Oh, it's still on Mama.
Speaker 10 (10:46):
She's still on my mind on every Today.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
And be Jess Larry and Charlamage the guy we are
the Breakfast Club is still kicking it with Little rel
top of the Brown, Reagan Gold Mess and Anna Marie
Horse for the cast of Unexpected Christmas. How do you
decide part you picked? Because when you pick your roles,
they are not the same. Amen, It's not like Friday,
which is not like I.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Was a virtuous woman and somebody tried to sell a
nasty story and I said, what the editor called my
press agency, somebody is trying to say a terrible story
about her. I said, that is not true. So it's
you better pick the rolls that people you know, because
people really believe black people. Now I don't know about
(11:27):
white people. Black people believe there is no division between
reality and TV. How's your husband and I do stay
in touch with Clifton. I said, he's fine. I got
a new husband now this movie. Rico's my new husband.
(11:49):
A few other husbands in between. I can't remember all
of them, but they're all good to me. They're all
good to me. But it's just that you have a brand,
even if you don't know you have a brand. And
my brand is kind of decent human being who's honest,
you know what I mean, Just to be honest with
Even if the line is I have gone up for things,
(12:10):
I said, this is not me, not me. No, No,
my people won't believe it, and I don't believe it
even in acting. No, there's one and I just said
I can't. I said, the words can't even come out
my mouth. You know, it was low, low low. Somebody
else got it, a friend of mine, and I was
happy for her.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
But no, everything is not for you.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I always believe that what we get, the roles we get,
it's somebody else that you're supposed to meet there. It's
not just the role. God gives everybody a talent, and
the talent is so that you can use to get
to affect the people you're supposed to meet along that road.
But if I'm supposed to go to Georgia. The other
people I'm supposed to meet a long way in Georgia.
(12:56):
It's not just the movie, you know, it's somebody else
whose life I'm supposed to be affected.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Wow, on this film, who did you meet?
Speaker 9 (13:05):
Like?
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Who I met?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
All these colored people? Let me just say she had
a revelation because girlfriend didn't know all of this mess
was going on. She did not know. And then I
can't say because I haven't seen the completed movie yet,
but there was one scene that I felt really strong,
(13:28):
and the producers allowed me to do some improvisation on it.
When the child comes back, you know, because children like
to grow up and then kind of read their parents
and tell them everything they did wrong. You're all shaking
your head. Forget that, no parent, want no report card.
We did the best week? Could we change the nasty diapers?
(13:52):
Listen to all that foolishness, And all I'm saying is
some things you get right, somethings younger right. You know,
you'd be person, but parent is not perfect. And when
that scene came up, I said, oh, let me do
a little of this. And I haven't seen it, but
I hope it addresses that issue where no, no, no,
(14:13):
you're gonna tell me, But let me just tell you
a little something too, because I don't think we look
we only look from one perspective what you didn't do
for me.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Well, let me tell you what you didn't do for me,
you know, because.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Nobody gives you the handbook on parenting and it's still
in there too.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
It's like all of us has been doing like this
press run. That's one of the most important parts of
the movie. Oh yeah, you know, I don't know who
said it, but like I she's a woman too, She's like, yeah, human,
you're human, So like it's.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Still when you see it, you'll see.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
I think you know, I was gonna say one of
the things that miss Anna was talking about, and I
don't want to give too much away, but we're so
used to our mothers and elders telling us do what
I say, just do it, don't ever talk back to me.
But when you become an adult, you do have questions
about things that happen to you. And one of the
things that I love is to sing with you. And
(15:09):
Dominique Perry, who's not here, she loves the show. She
plays my sister, but she confronts her mother and her
without giving too much away, her mother listens and apologizes,
and that is something that I really hope folks take
away from this. You can always apologize and do better.
So that's one of the things I love about this film.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
I apologize with my kids all the time, and I
agree with everything y'all saying, because I think that we
often forget our parents had a life before you.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Yeah, they were just a girl and a guy. Yeah,
that's very interesting. I at one point told my parents,
I said, I want to know who you were before
you became my mother and father. So what I did
is I went back to both of their hometown and
just to see who they were, because I said, oh,
(15:55):
and then I interviewed them because I didn't know. And
mother surprised me a lot.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
She said, I said, how many men you had? Mama?
Camera man said that your mother?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I said, god, she said three. But you know after
they won't come out the same, They want the same.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
And I said, okay. I said, well, what would you
say if your daughter had a lot more than that?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
She said, if it took a hundred men to make
my daughter happy, I'm happy for her.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
And I said, who is this woman? Who is I mean, isn't.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
That But it's just because we don't know who they are.
You know, they start and then at a certain point,
if you, if you're lucky enough to have your parents
live long enough, because a lot of us lose them,
(16:52):
you become the parent to this child and you see,
oh the kindness.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
You know.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
It's just it's so interesting that and I think I'm blessed.
We all are blessed to be able to have a
fantasy of I want to be an act. I want
to before, I want to stand on stage, and then
you get to have it done and people know you.
I mean, every other black person in America, especially up town,
(17:21):
knows me. How you know it's me? You know what
you know it's me? And you meet them how they
meet you in the house, you know, because I have
been in your living room all over on the radio
and the car, you know, for a long time. So
I can't laugh or talk to loud because they know me.
(17:46):
I know, you look like yourself.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
We have more with the cash from Unexpected Christmas. When
we come back Little Well, Tabitha Brown, Reagan gold Mass
and Anna Marie horse Fo When we come back as
the Breakfast Club good morning.
Speaker 3 (18:02):

Speaker 4 (18:07):
That time was a world enough. I've all waste my time.
Speaker 10 (18:12):
Trying to figure out why are you playing in chains?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Was this all about? And a case of money? You're
hurt in me?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I made your girl?
Speaker 10 (18:24):
What the difference?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Would you see?
Speaker 4 (18:28):

God we Are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it
with the cast of Unexpected Christmas, Little rel Tapatha Brown,
Reagan Goldmez and Anna Marie Horsfoot Charlamage.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
This movie is going to empower a lot of people
over the holidays to have those conversations. You know, one
of the one of my first breakthroughs in therapy was
realizing that my dad used to discipline me for things
he never taught me. And so when we had a
conversation and he started telling me about his own issues
and he tried to commit suicide and he was, you know,
different medication for Once I realized all that It gave.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Me a level of grace for him that.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I know, Yeah, you lucky if we got a chance
to look at them like that.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
That's wow.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
We also have a conversation with her.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
That's one of my struggles now is that you know,
my dad has dementia, and it's like, you know, going
through therapy and like recognizing some moments were like dang,
he wasn't. I had to get to a point where
I understood not even just my dad, just people who
loved me. It wasn't necessary hating that they didn't believe
in me. They was scared for me because I was
taking a chance doing something nobody did, so it was
(20:16):
more or less a protection thing. It wasn't that they
didn't believe in you. They just didn't want you to
be hurt, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
So like the trade school by familiar to them. You know,
you see people who work trades all the time.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Same with Like with me, I wanted to be an
actress since I was a little girl, but we didn't.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Know nobody in my family.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
So my mama was like, Okay, I know you want
to do that, but you also make clothes.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
So my great great aunt was the town seamstress.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
So she said, once you go to school for fashion design,
because if the acting thing don't work out, then you
have that.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
It wasn't that she was discouraging.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
She was just telling me, like, I know, we know
what that looks like. You can actually do that. So
you know, let me ask you, how would you be
with your kids? Right, because the same thing with me. Right,
My mom said, get a job.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
With a hat. That was a thing. Get a job
with that hat and you.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Work for twenty years, you get retirement in your cupboard.
Right when I was a DJ, they thought the DJ
thing was cute. Until after I got heated from college
and I still did it. There was like I got
enough enough. But now I look at it and I'm like,
I would never be that right. But then I look
at if my son ten years ago said Dad, I
want to be a gamer, I'd.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Be like, boy, if you don't get the cost.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Forty million to get scholarships to college? Now doing gaming
all across the world, Oh yes, the world, And.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I think you have to.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I mean it's really interesting children, you know, when they're
looking for advice, I said, your voice should be louder
when God talks to you. He tells you, you know,
because there's a little girl like Tapas. I said, Mommy,
I got to go to Hollywood. And I would practice
walking down the steps. Of course I would fall a
lot because I had on heels. And she said, your
(21:57):
ass gonna be broken by the time you get to Hollywood.
And one time I was going somewhere and my back
was I said, she was right. Years after, but God
tells you what you were here for, what you were
here for. And I remember one time I said, oh,
my mother said, oh, you look just like a lamp
(22:19):
post girl.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
And I said, oh, I'm a real actress.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I said, about four or five, I didn't know what
a lamp post girl was. It was a prostitute in
Santa Domingo. But I thought, wow. I put my hat
on and I had something else and she said, ooh,
and I'm just like a lamp post girl.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
And I said she didn't know what was me.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I'm a lamp post girl, No, Mama, I never did.
I never became one, but I acted like one. But again,
God talks to you. He tells you what you came
here for. There's no mistakes, even though you don't have
any reference. This one wasn't that this one wasn't that.
Listen to that voice, make that voice louder than any
(23:02):
outside voice coming to you because they don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Well, my family, I had to like, I remember when
it was they were being combative to it. But I'm like, well,
y'all raised me and told me I could do anything.
Should you raise me too good? So I can't listen
to what you said, you know what I mean? Like,
it's really interesting, but once again it came out of
fear right. And one of the things I love about
my family is that they end up apologizing. When I
(23:29):
first moved to New York and I got my first show,
they literally threw a dinner together and apologizing. And so
now to this point they are crazy supportive.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Like you see them with little real shirts.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
You're teaching that, you're teaching them also, And I think
for our children, we always look at them as ours, ours,
little usses. But they grow up and they grow into
their own people, and then one day you need their help,
you need their advice, and you realize, oh, they're part
of my community.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
And it does flip as your parents get older.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
My mother is in her seventies, and it's very much
like girl, why you didn't do what I told you?
Speaker 4 (24:06):
You know, talking back and all of that. So life
is very interesting.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
Just one quick question, and it's in regards to the
movie and everything we're talking about. Now, do you personally
believe that family should always be forgiven?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I know you're talking about stepparents, but.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Just thinks.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
That's a good question.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Yeah, I believe everyone can be forgiven. Right, forgiveness is
not for the other person, it's for you. And so forgiveness,
even in family, doesn't mean we have to be together.
It doesn't mean that you have to be back in
my life. It just means I have forgiven you and
(24:58):
I'm going about my busines. You got something some deep pain, though,
like from some family members that absolutely can't reverse.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
Like especially if they're not asking for your forgiveness, if
they don't see nothing wrong, then it makes it hard
for even if you want to forgive.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah, but that's the thing about forgiveness. When it's for you,
you don't have to say it to that person. It's
so that you can move forward in your life without hinderance. Right,
Because sometimes you can hold something against someone holds yourself bad.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Right, you can't move forward.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
So it's not for them, right, especially because we've all
been heard and there's some things that people do that
feels like that is it can't be forgiven, Like it
just can't. But to them, they may go to you know,
they rest in place feeling like you never.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Forgave them, and that's their business to feel.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
For you to live your life in peace, forgiveness has
to live in your heart.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
I went to see a play called Oh Happy Day
that's out here. Oh man, it's so good and it's
a great song they have really with that subject.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
It's you know, it's just something. I don't know the
lives exactly.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I heard the essay, but it's like, can you forgive
the personal situation that hurts you the most? And it
was God asking that question to Jordan's Cooper's character, because
that's how you move home.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
You gotta move.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
You can't sit in that, you know what I mean,
because it really affects you and you can't get it.
Ain't about seeing what. I don't need nothing from you.
I don't need you to say it is what it is.
I forgive you and we ain't got to talk again.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
I wonder what that looks like though, I wonder what
it looks like forgiving somebody training, God talk to you
know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Like, what does that look like?
Speaker 11 (26:38):
And it looks like freedom, it's a feel like it
looks and feels like joy, happiness, Like you can see
somebody be like they went through all that and they
still looking.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Y's still showing.
Speaker 7 (26:52):
Because it takes a lot of energy to hold on
to that, to that anger, whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
So you're absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
And also like when you think about like is of
the heart, you know, most people hurt you. They hurt
your heart, right, you know, if you think forgiveness is
something that has to happen, it's not about like it
hurts your feelings, it hurts your heart. So whether that
whatever that thing was, it was a past relationship, the
longer you hold the grudge, the longer you block that
(27:19):
part of the heart for you to be loved, to
get there.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
For your release so that we can get what God
has for us.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
There you go, Oh, this is a.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Christmas is this Friday? Thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Right now it's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Good morning,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
