Well, Jada, Pink and Smith will be joining us this morning. Man,
her book Worthy is out right now, we're gonna talk
to Jada Pinkett Smith.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I've been waiting to have this conversation simply because I
feel like people get caught up and reading the headlines,
but nobody's actually read the book.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And if you actually have.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Read the book, then you know it's a fantastic body
of work. And if you're if you haven't read the
book just based off the headlines, and you are really
missing uh, just just a great body of work, you know,
a great body of work, a person that is showing
their vulnerability and is on a path and a journey
to worthiness like we all are. If you've ever dealt
(02:45):
with any type of impositis syndrome in your life and
you're trying to get to a place of worthy, you
would really really enjoy her book.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
That's right, But you gotta read it.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Not all you gonna care about the will Smith's in
the tupox and everything else.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
So much more than that how many gym she's giving us.
We're gonna chop it up in a little bit. That
conversation we actually had yesterday was over an hour long.
That's why a lot of you guys seen the clip
that was floating around by her talking about lawsuit.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Oh, we put that clip out because that's what everybody
was talking about, at least, well at least on the
Nigga net of social media crack. You know, like, you
know what, let's be part of the algorithm that's been
part of it. Let's join in. And the TMZ was downstairs, yeah,
you know, stepping on our toes.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
Yeah, but the little image they pulled off her was
kind of familiar to the image that Tupac when he
was spitting at the camera. That's what I said, she
chatted her inner Tupac yesterday.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Yes, it's funny you said that. I put that in
the group chat yesterday. I had the picture waiting. All right,
but let's get the show cracking. When we come back
Front page News, Sessling figure Out will be joining us
and don't forget again. Next hour, Jada Pinkett Smith will
be here. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody.
It's dj n V Charlamagne the God. We are the
Breakfast Club. We got Bzy Baby our guest co hosts. Yes,
and let's get in some Front page news.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
Good morning, Test, Good morning, DJM, Good morning, b Zeke,
Good morning.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
He said, I let's start off with some quick sports.
So Draymond Green has been suspended for five games, right,
he will miss out on seven hundred and sixty nine
thousand dollars in salary, and he's being fined twenty five
thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Damn.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
I mean, I mean that's a lot. That is still
a lot of money. I thought he would get like
three to five though, Yeah, and Nasal suspending Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Now, Rudy got fined twenty five thousand, and Klay Thomas
got fined twenty five.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I don't know why Clay got fined anything, because Clay
is the one that you know that the dude was
tussling with and he ripped his jersey.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It don't look like Clay was instigating that situation to me.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
And then football of Bengals take on the Ravens at
eight point fifteen.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Now, what are we starting off with? Tis?
Speaker 8 (04:44):
We're gonna start off with the Breonna Taylor for those
that don't know, the jury started deliberating on that case
on Monday in the federal trial, a former Louisville police
officer who was accused of violating Browonda Taylor's rights by
opening fire on her apartment the night she was killed
in the botch.
Speaker 9 (05:00):
Take a listen to the report.
Speaker 10 (05:02):
The jury in this federal case went home for the night,
and after three days there is still no verdict. Now,
this is a much longer deliberation process compared to last
year's state trial against Brett Hankinson, when it took jurors
only three hours to acquit the former detective. Now this
jury is deciding whether Hankerson is guilty or not guilty
(05:24):
on two counts of civil rights violations for blindly firing
ten shots into Breonna Taylor's apartment during a police raid
in March of twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I mean, they should definitely win that civil rights case,
right I would think, so.
Speaker 8 (05:38):
Yeah, yeah, we're hoping so, you know, and again, just
as reminded as we heard the report, he was found
not guilty on the state side, so the federal the
federal side decided to take up these charges. So hoping
for you know, him to be found guilty in that
and they must be able to prove that he had
a sens of force and put innocent lives at risk
where a pregnant woman, her spouse and children were sleeping vio,
(06:00):
violating their constitutional rights. And to return a guilty verdict,
the jury must agree that he deprived the people in
both apartments of their constitutional rights and that he acted willfully. Uh.
They also are deciding if he used a dangerous weapon
and attempted to kill.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
So it's created that they have to determine excessive force, right,
and whether or not he used a dangerous weapon or
gun is not a dangerous weapon.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It's like somebody dies, Yeah, what we're talking about.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
And it's a good sign that well they say it's
a good scient typically a good sign when the jury,
you know, it's still deliberating in today, you know, three
or four, So hopefully we can get some news on
that by the end of the week. But you know,
to stay there as long as it takes for them
to argue and you know, sort through all the evidence
and hopefully return back a guilty a guilty bird verdict
for their family.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, you're supposed to shut mama down like that, because
what did that?
Speaker 6 (19:24):
My mother was someone My mom was someone raised, and
they didn't know that the phone call was being taped,
so they just they think they're talking in family. She
bought me talking.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
That's how you talk to me.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
If that's how you talk about me when I'm not around,
don't be spilt up in my face see each other.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
How do you shut mama down? How do you shut
your mother down when she's like that?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
How would mama know that? Where mam gt that from?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
When moms get angry, they just say anything anything.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah, but that ain't a good That ain't a good one. No,
that wasn't a good.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
I'm sure Mom apologized, but she was upset and angry

chances that could.

Runing everybody.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
It's dj n V charlamagnea God. We are the Breakfast Club.
We have a busy baby here, our guest co hosts,
and let's get in some front page news Morning.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
Tesn dj in, Good morning, Besy baby.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Now let's start off for some quick sports.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
Draymond Green has been suspended for five games and he
will sat on seven hundred and sixty nine thousand dollars.
He's also being found twenty five thousand, Rudy Gobert twenty
five thousand, and Klay Thomas twenty five thousand.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Dropping the clues bombs with Draymond Green. Okay, my favorite
playing the NBA. All right, he ain't got no problem
putting hands on you for his people.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Nope, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
And tonight if football, the Ravens take on the Bengals
at eight point fifteen. Now let's jump right into it.
Let's so, Joe manchinha, yeah, Joe Manchin.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
I'm sure this won't be a surprise to many of you,
especially Charlot Magne and the god it says the inch
closer Wednesday took confirming he could run for president.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 20 (21:35):
Are you considering running for president?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I will do anything I can to help my country.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Is that a yes?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
And you're saying does that mean you would consider it? Absolutely?
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Every American should consider if they're in a position to
help save the country.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I think we're on the wrong course, so I will
do everything possible.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Joe Manson once again standing in the way of Joe
Biden and the Democratic Party making progress. If Joe Manchin
runs for president, you can add that to the long
list of things that he has blocked Joe Biden and
the Democratic Party from achieving.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
That's right, that's right, he added, that Biden's policies have
gone too far left, and he said he thinks they'll lose,
will lose democracy as we know it if Trump is elected.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
So he believes that he can go out and bring
the middle together.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
And basically, dude Charlemagne, who we knew he was doing
all along, which is why he did all of you know,
what he did before was showing that he is indeed
possibly what the real president.
Speaker 9 (22:24):
So now I guess he's going for it. He will
actually be running for president.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
I believe if he runs, I'm gonna hear him out,
you know what I mean, Like, I mean, the other
the other options we got are terrible, right, like the
Bidens and the Trumps of the world.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
So I'm gonna hear him out. Hear what you gotta say,
I mean, what you got to say. Let me see
if he's really one of these centrists like he he
claims to be.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
But he's a gangster, we know that for sure.
Speaker 13 (22:46):
So I hear him out.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
I'm interested in here what you gotta say too, you know.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
So he says he'll make a decision possibly before Super Tuesday.
So will I think he's gonna do it? You know,
I'm just guessing. I don't know, but this is typically
what they do. Say I'm gonna go around the country
and talk to you know, every day working Americans and
see where we are. And then he'll come out and say,
after a thought and prayer and consideration, I decided to run.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
You know how they do it so and I don't
want to hear none of y'all call him out now,
you know what I mean, Any of y'all in the
Democratic Party, don't try to throw somemood on Joe Manchin's
name now because you didn't when he was blocking everything out.
So when he starts running the president, don't come out
and tell us how bad he is. And I don't
want to hear it. I don't want to hear it
now because y'all have four years to tell us that
that's right now.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
Fack, let's talk about all these kids losing their Medicaid coverage.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
Yeah, just an important fact, just another reminder on why
children should be covered. In the United States of America,
at least two million children have lost their.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
Health care coverage since the end of the pandemic.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
They guaranteed medical coverage during the health emergency through November eighth,
A total of ten point one million Americans have been
disenrolled for Medicaid. The two million children who have lost
their health coverage representing twenty one states that break out
enrollmentch just by age, and it's likely an undercount because
data is still coming in. So just another reminder, how
(24:06):
I personally believe you know that, if nothing else, children
and elderly should have healthcare coverage in the United States
of America. So those who are out there are looking
for coverage, you know, hopefully they'll be able to get
some type of supplement or something to make sure these
kids are covered.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Absolutely agree, we all should, absolutely.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
Absolutely it should really be free for everybody, Medicare for all.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
But you know something they just can't get Congress too
agree on, but can they at least agree on it
for the children.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
So just wanted to make sure people knew that was
out there.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
All right, well, that is front page News, and make
sure you follow at Teslin Figureo on all social media
platforms and subscribe to Teslin Figuos podcasts A great shot
no chase of podcasts on the Black Effect I Heeart
Radio podcast network.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
All right, now, when we come back, Jada Pinkett Smith
will be joining us. Of course, her book Worthy is
out right now and we're gonna kick it with us.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
It don't move. It's to Breakfast Club on Beet, the
Breakfast Club Morning.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
Everybody's the DJ n V. Charlamagne to God. We are
the Breakfast Club. You got a special guest in the building.
It's a special special yes, Jana Pinkett Smith.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Welcome, Thank you, thank you, thank you. How are you
feeling this morning?
Speaker 20 (25:14):
Feeling good?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
You're glowing, thank you.
Speaker 20 (25:18):
You know, life is good even in the chaos.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I mean, life is chaos.
Speaker 20 (25:23):
Yeah, that's what it is, you know what I'm saying.
So you just get in harmony with that.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
That's interesting, you said.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
I could always be wondering, like, yo, do are we
ever going to find peace on this planet? Or do
we just exist within the chaos? The caos is normal.
Speaker 21 (25:37):
Yeah, I think you know, just in my journey, I've
just been discovering that you kind of have to just
rise above it, right because the world is gonna be
what it's going to be.
Speaker 13 (25:49):
Right.
Speaker 21 (25:49):
I actually think that the world is a university, you know,
to teach us how to transcend it. Yeah, and so yeah,
you just you got to make peace East with what
this world is about. But I don't think that this
place is our sanctuary. I actually think, you know, ascending
it and going into more of the spiritual spiritual places,
(26:12):
you know, and just kind of understanding living your life
from there within the world.
Speaker 20 (26:17):
I mean, that's what they say, you know, be in it,
but not of it.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
You ever get tired of it?
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Though, because you've been on this on this tour for
a while, and you're very big on energy and vibrations,
and sometimes I'm sure the energy and vibrations have been
all over the place, but it seems like you've been
on tour, yeah, for a long time, you ever get
tired of it?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Like now, enough's enough?
Speaker 12 (26:35):
Now?
Speaker 21 (26:36):
I think that if I put myself in that frame
of mind and I just bring myself a level of discomfort,
that's not necessary, right, You just go It is what
it is.
Speaker 20 (26:47):
So how are you going to step up to the moment?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
And that's it?
Speaker 20 (26:52):
You know, that's just what it is. And so that
that's where I find my piece.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Since the release of this book, what is your ego
been telling you?
Speaker 21 (27:00):
Ego has been telling me to let go because it
takes a lot of courage to sin in your truth
takes a lot of courage. It takes a lot of
courage to be happy when you're walking through the world
and you're dismantling ideas, you know, you kind of have
(27:21):
to in that dismantle you just kind of have to
let go of everything that you thought you were, everything
that you're trying to be, and just flow right, just
let whatever is presenting itself.
Speaker 22 (27:37):
Just kind of be what it is, you know, but
you definitely gotta let go.
Speaker 21 (27:44):
So it's been a real test in regards to trust.
You know, just can't trust the ego in that way anymore.
Speaker 20 (27:54):
But you know, that's a process.
Speaker 22 (27:56):
So as I'm dismasting, so you go from one ego
state to the next.
Speaker 20 (27:59):
Right, So it just gets it just gets, it just
gets smaller, I guess, you know. But the ego is.
Speaker 22 (28:09):
Always going to be that. So you know, you just
kind of learned how to make friends with your ego and.
Speaker 20 (28:14):
Have it work for you in a different way, for
different purpose.
Speaker 8 (28:18):
Right.
Speaker 20 (28:19):
So that's what I'm working with right now.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
Has this truth helped your relationship with friends, family, and
even your marriage? Has this truth and all the things
that came out or did it make things worse?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Oh?
Speaker 20 (28:32):
No, see, I didn't.
Speaker 21 (28:34):
I didn't step into this, walk into my situation with
my friends, my family.
Speaker 20 (28:42):
As specifically, Will was tight.
Speaker 21 (28:46):
Right because I already knew how disruptive it was going
to be. So I had to make sure that my
inner circle was tight, right, so that we could walk
this together hand in hand, right. So it's actually, you know,
specifically for Will and I, it's definitely brought us closer.
Speaker 20 (29:05):
It's so funny how crisis.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Will do that, you know what I mean, Yeah, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 21 (29:11):
So that's the thing about Will and Ize, just like
we just learn more and more as we go that
this is what we were built to do, you know,
with each other, you know, and to walk together. And
you know, just like any long term relationship, it goes
through it's of course, you know, and so you gotta
(29:36):
take your time.
Speaker 20 (29:37):
I really had to grow emotionally.
Speaker 21 (29:40):
It hadn't realized how emotionally immature I was, you know
what I'm saying. And so that's the thing about long
term relationships that are fantastic if you can just hang
in there, because it's going to force you to step
your game up if you want to be happy, you know.
And so Will's been one of my greatest teachers on
(30:04):
my journey, you know, because I've been forced to have
to deal.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
With my stuff, you know what stuff because you said
you're immature. What immaturity do you see when you look
at yourself?
Speaker 21 (30:15):
Well, I would say, you know, seven years ago, just
when you're just hanging on to these romantic ideas of
what marriage should be, what your partner should be for you,
so that you don't have to be the thing for yourself,
like when you keep banging on somebody like, no, I
need you to show up this way because I need
(30:37):
to feel a certain way about myself. Right That in
itself is just like hold up, you want somebody else
to be something for you that you're not willing to.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Be for yourself. First of all, how do you call
that love?
Speaker 23 (30:50):
You know?
Speaker 21 (30:51):
And I had to like step away to really realize that,
you know, and so me get myself in alignment and
just realizing like, yo, Jada, you got a lot of
work to do, and then doing that work and then
being able to present myself with more of myself and
then being able to see Will as who he is
(31:12):
and just accept him and love him.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
There, that's what I think is lost, you know in
the book.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
If you haven't read the book, like you think all
the convos about Tupac and will distracted from what this
book really has to offer.
Speaker 20 (31:27):
Because I did, Yeah, and I knew that.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
I knew.
Speaker 21 (31:30):
I knew it was going to be a lot of distractions, right,
And I was like, hopefully this book will have legs
so that.
Speaker 22 (31:35):
Once all of the you know, the chatter dies down.
Speaker 21 (31:39):
We can get to the real components of the book. Now,
people who've actually read the book are on it, right.
They see that sony of healing.
Speaker 20 (31:48):
It's a journey of his.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
It's a journey of somebody trying to find their worthiness,
which is, you know, all of us have struggled with
that imposter syndrome, not feeling worthy. If you read the book,
you see somebody really laying it out in detail, the
journey to get to that place of workings.
Speaker 20 (32:03):
And it's a universal struggle.
Speaker 22 (32:05):
You know, we all do it in different ways, right,
but it's a universal struggle.
Speaker 21 (32:09):
And so yeah, that's I really wanted to lay that
out in the way that I did, especially once again
just dismantling these ideas of perfection, you know, because we
also have these societal romantic ideas of what somebody in
my position, what my.
Speaker 22 (32:30):
Life should look like, who I should be within.
Speaker 20 (32:33):
It, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 22 (32:34):
And it's like no, no, no, Like real life is
real life, no matter what station you sitting at.
Speaker 20 (32:39):
Period.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
You know, do you regret leading with a lot of
that stuff, leading with a lot of to talk about
will to talk about pop? Because you know those just
became sound bites and headlines on the internet, clips that
you know.
Speaker 20 (32:53):
It's so difficult because when.
Speaker 21 (32:56):
You're dealing with media, that's that's that's what people want
attach to. People not interested, you know, that's not the clickbait.
Speaker 20 (33:06):
The journey part of it.
Speaker 21 (33:07):
The clickbait is you know, the Tupac, the will you know,
So you got to kind of get past the clickbait
where people get exhausted with that and that dies down
and then people can get with the real But it's
hard to avoid it.
Speaker 20 (33:23):
Honestly, it's hard to avoid it.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
All right.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
We got more with Jada Pinket Smith. When we come back,
don't move, it's the Breakfast Club moving. Yeah, when back,
it's the Breakfast Club. DJ and V Charlamagne the God
and we're still kicking it with Jada Pinkett Smith her
book Worthy is out right.
Speaker 13 (33:36):
Now.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
We look at your life and we see the wedding,
we see the trips, we see all of that. When
did you realize and say, I need to fix this
because this isn't right with me.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
What was that moment?
Speaker 21 (33:47):
I would say that I got slammed up against a wall,
Probably when I was really confronted with some really heavy
suicidal thoughts, when I was looking for Cliff to drive over,
you know, so that my suicide would look like an
accident so my kids wouldn't think that I committed suicide.
Speaker 20 (34:08):
I did a plant medicine.
Speaker 21 (34:10):
Journeysa ayahuasca, I can't wait.
Speaker 22 (34:14):
Let me know where I got you.
Speaker 21 (34:18):
And that that was a real awakening for me, you know,
And I really had to be confronted with.
Speaker 22 (34:25):
My own shadow, my own self hatred, and it was
so strong and it was so scary.
Speaker 21 (34:31):
I was like, WHOA, I didn't I thought it was
I didn't even want to be with that, and I'm
like asking somebody else to contend with that. That was
the first moment that I realized, oh, Jada, you you
got some stuff to deal.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
With, and what got you to that?
Speaker 6 (34:46):
Point, because most people would look on the outside and
be like, you know, she's rich, she's a movie star.
She's stating another movie star, she has beautiful kids, your
mom is still there. Like it looks like to the outside,
the life is perfect. What in that perfect life on
the outside made you feel imperfect or made you not
feel like this is what I want.
Speaker 22 (35:06):
It was like dealing with the foundational wounds, right.
Speaker 21 (35:10):
I hadn't done, I hadn't double with And that's what
we most of us don't even know what our foundational
wounds are.
Speaker 22 (35:16):
We don't even know we're foundationally wounded.
Speaker 8 (35:20):
Right.
Speaker 21 (35:20):
And so it started a childhood you know, you got
two parents who are addicts and you're not the priority, right,
and then just the levels and just the trauma that
gets built upon what that environment it's like, right, And
I thought that making it would heal it all. You know,
(35:44):
success takes care of everything.
Speaker 20 (35:47):
Right, And then it was like, Okay, made it to Hollywood,
That's not it.
Speaker 21 (35:52):
And then I met this fantastic guy and I was
on this world win of romance with Will and I
was like, he's gonna fix it. You know what I'm saying,
He's gonna he is the Knight in shining Armor. He's
the Savior Prince, He's gonna fix it. So it went
from one false belief to the next. And I talk
about trying to check all the boxes.
Speaker 20 (36:13):
It's like, checked all the boxes.
Speaker 21 (36:17):
It's left right, and then having to realize, oh man,
oh yeah, you're not dealing with your stuff.
Speaker 20 (36:25):
That's what's left.
Speaker 21 (36:27):
So it just goes to show that we can have
all of these exterior things, you know, but that's not
the thing that's gonna heal the soul.
Speaker 13 (36:35):
You know.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
It's interesting because you know, when we used to watch
you Red Table Talk, people would be like, who is it, Jada,
Jada Pinket You take off the drug dealer, Jada a
drug dealer energy?
Speaker 1 (36:45):
You know, I never, I never when I when I
read that in the book, I was like, Jay the
Pinkett Smith was in the screens like that. But when
you walked in, I'm like, oh, I see it.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
I'm just trying to be comfortable. Sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
But when people used to watch the Red Table Talk,
they be like, who why is Jada Pinkett Smith an
expert and anything? But in the book, you refer to
yourself as you said, you're a pseudo pseudo guru. You said,
it's in the Feeling the Range chapter that you seem
to often set yourself up to fall off the edge
of high and mighty them.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
You admit at the time you didn't know, like why
talk to yourself like that?
Speaker 20 (37:28):
Well, because it's the truth, you know.
Speaker 21 (37:32):
And I think that when we're really on that game
of healing, like the person that you got to be
the most honest with is yourself, and a lot of
times that that could be that that could be the
most difficult when you really got to look at yourself
and realize, you know, where you thought you were something
(37:54):
and now you realize that you ain't.
Speaker 20 (37:56):
You know, And so yeah, you just got to learn
how to be deeply honest with yourself.
Speaker 21 (38:01):
And as I talk to myself that way, I can
also hug myself in saying that.
Speaker 6 (38:06):
You know, now you talk about love so much, and
you talk about how you felt at one time you
are against marriage, right?
Speaker 4 (38:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (38:14):
Is that because you seen your parents in their relationship?
What changed your mind?
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 21 (38:20):
I think that was really Like I got to see
my grandparents who both said to grandparents had a really
long lasting marriage, but.
Speaker 20 (38:31):
I wasn't quite sure that it was the pinnacle of happiness.
Speaker 21 (38:34):
And so you know, when you're young, you're a free spirit,
and I'm just like, no, I can do this different,
like because I want to be happy. I'm not quite
sure that's what happy is. Like, how can I be
in a relationship and be happy? You know, I was
all about the devotion of it, but I wasn't quite
sure that marriage was the thing, right. It wasn't until
(38:56):
maybe three years ago.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Three years ago, you've been married all this time?
Speaker 24 (39:08):
The biggest saying years ago, No, no, no, no, Not
that I wasn't happy, not that I wasn't happy, but
I got to see the power of marriage.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Three years ago.
Speaker 20 (39:21):
I got to see the power not even well yeah,
and no, right, I got.
Speaker 21 (39:28):
To see how marriage is a it is a holy
path for real, right, just in regards to learning about love,
because it takes a long time to break down all
the different false beliefs that we have about love, right,
(39:48):
and and the thing about holy matrimony. And it's not
to say that you're not going to go through some
unholy stuff, right, but when two people are committed and
just refuse to quit, what you can learn about yourself,
about your partner in about.
Speaker 20 (40:08):
Love in general.
Speaker 21 (40:11):
You can't really learn by going from one relationship to
the next looking for the honeymoon stage over and over again, right,
specifically if you're interested in learning about unconditional love, you know.
Speaker 20 (40:25):
And so I was like, oh, snap, this is what
it's about, you know.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
Years ago, But like, what was that moment three years ago?
Speaker 21 (40:36):
I would probably say, when we'll going through the process
of emancipation. And then once he finished emancipation and the
stuff that started coming up for him, right, and that's
when he was like, hey, can we get back into
(40:59):
some therapy together, and the stuff that was coming up
for him and the kind of conversations we were starting
to have.
Speaker 20 (41:08):
I was like, Okay, here we are.
Speaker 18 (41:12):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 21 (41:13):
I'm like, and everybody starts their journeys in different ways
at different times, you know what I'm saying. But that's
when I knew. I was like, okay, And then we
went to the oscars and that whole thing happened, and
it wasn't I didn't even think twice about it when
I saw what was happening, and I was like, I'm
(41:33):
not leaving this man's side.
Speaker 20 (41:36):
I'm not leaving this man's side.
Speaker 6 (41:38):
I will keep a lock. We got more with Jada
Pinkett Smith. Her book Worthy is out right now, so
don't move.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
It's the breakfast Club. Good Morning, Good morning.
Speaker 6 (41:44):
Everybody's DJ Envy Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Jada Pinkett Smith Charlomagne.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
You think, up until the point of three years ago,
do you think y'all had had just more of a
trauma bunk.
Speaker 20 (41:57):
I would say yes and no.
Speaker 21 (42:00):
I would say we had a trauma bond, and then
underneath of it there was this real deep friendship, this
spiritual bond too, because you can start breaking through your
trauma and start talking through your trauma. And if it's
just a trauma bond, once you start to heal and
you start going.
Speaker 20 (42:19):
Your separate ways, it's done.
Speaker 21 (42:21):
If it's just a trauma bond, right, But when you
can feel that that spiritual bind, once you're doing the healing,
and that spiritual bind is just yoking you tighter than
you know it something else.
Speaker 20 (42:38):
You know, and you really have to have the discernment
to know the difference.
Speaker 21 (42:43):
You know what I'm saying, because sometimes you do just
have a trauma bond with somebody and sometimes you just
got to get away, you know.
Speaker 20 (42:49):
What I'm saying, And so you got to really like
sit with yourself and have the discernment to know the difference.
Speaker 4 (42:57):
Now that's real, because sometimes you heal so much you
be like, man, look like nobody exactly.
Speaker 20 (43:03):
That's real talking, yeah, straight out, because that's what we do,
you know. It's like that.
Speaker 21 (43:09):
And that's part of it too, you know, And that's
part of why we have to have the courage because innately,
you know, once you start healing, a whole lot is
gonna change, you know.
Speaker 6 (43:19):
With the Oscar's situation, did that save your marriage? And
the reason I asked that is, you know, I've been
married twenty two years, Charloma has been married a long time.
But your wife will always be mad at you, right,
but you can't be mad at him. I could be
mad at him him down. Yeah, So did that save
your marriage?
Speaker 21 (43:39):
I would say what it definitely did is that it
accelerated what I think was already in the process. It
was in that moment that I knew. I was like,
oh no, no, no, no, no, no, We're gonna do
this together. I'm gonna be by your side, and I
(44:00):
know that I'll never I'll never leave your side, right because.
Speaker 20 (44:05):
It's funny because an emotional crisis, I didn't blink. I
didn't blink. And that's when I knew deep down inside,
I'm like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (44:21):
It's like and you there's no getting away from them.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
You've been trying, you know, really you don't want to
go nowhere?
Speaker 20 (44:28):
Stop it.
Speaker 21 (44:29):
And so was that incident that I knew right away, Yo,
we in it, And so that was it. But I
think that was the trajectory anyway. It just in an
instant solidified it.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
Yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 4 (44:44):
You know, if you know, if y'all have been separated
all of these years, if you read the book, you
realized that right, and Will never said anything about it.
Why did you feel now with the time to reveal
that information. Was it just to sell books like some
people think.
Speaker 20 (44:57):
Oh no, it's part of the process, you know.
Speaker 14 (45:00):
It was part of like.
Speaker 20 (45:03):
Part of my self.
Speaker 21 (45:06):
Worth journey, like I had to really I was leaning
on Will in a lot of ways. And I think
for women specifically, how a lot of times.
Speaker 20 (45:19):
Our relationships are used to identify us, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 21 (45:27):
And so I thought that was a really important process
and so much a really important thing to talk about
because so much of my journey happened in that time
when it was just me, you know, and I think that,
(45:48):
and I also wanted people to realize that sometimes marriages
go through breaks like that, you know. And for people
out there who are thinking about, yo, should I get separated?
Speaker 20 (46:01):
Should I, you know, get a divorce, I'm like, man,
just take time for you.
Speaker 21 (46:05):
Have the courage if you got the courage to sign
divorce papers or you know, go to lawyers and get
just have the courage to figure out how to just
take time for you and then see see what's showing
up for you, right, Because sometimes divorce is the answer.
Sometimes leave goal separation is the answer. But first and foremost,
(46:29):
just take a year. Take a year, see what shows up,
you know, before you start going into like all these
other processes. Because sometimes we can act so quickly out
of anger and frustration and we just want to get away,
and we think that's the answer, you know, and in
some cases it is, but in some cases it's not.
Speaker 6 (46:49):
How do you feel when you talk about the truth, right,
and you say a big reason of this book is
you can help other people other marriage, other couples that
are dealing with it and don't know how to express
it because they've never seen it right, And the press
and the public says, you know, Jada is embarrassing. Well,
and you just said you were doing it because you
wanted to live in your truth. So what do you
say to those people that thought that it was just embarrassing,
(47:12):
embarrassing Will and dehumanizing him, and take it and take
it as his masculine I.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
Want to quote Anna Navarro of the view, she said,
you are masculating and embarrassing Will.
Speaker 21 (47:22):
Oh, well, I think if she took time to read
the book, you know, I think that if you want
to just read headlines, I could see how that could
be confusing.
Speaker 20 (47:35):
But the book is right here, and you have two
books you can read.
Speaker 21 (47:37):
Actually, you can read my book and Will's book, which
is so great that a lot of people are doing that,
you know.
Speaker 20 (47:43):
But people have the right to their opinions.
Speaker 21 (47:47):
And I always know that anybody who's saying that hasn't
really done their homework.
Speaker 20 (47:53):
But you got to expect it too, because of what
the headlines are. You know what clickbait is, so Will
knows what it is.
Speaker 5 (48:04):
I know what it is.
Speaker 21 (48:05):
My kids know what it is, and more importantly, Great
Supreme does too, right, And so that's really that's really
all I'm concerned with.
Speaker 6 (48:15):
At the end of the day, when Will was up here,
he talked about being insecure a little bit about Tupac.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
Did y'all ever have that conversation?
Speaker 6 (48:23):
Because as a man, when you're a little insecure, I
almost feel like you play both sides. You want to
be yourself, but you want to show that you're better
than the person that's making him insecure. You're tougher than,
or smarter than, or more romantic than, or a poet
then a better rapper than. Did y'all ever have that conversation?
Speaker 21 (48:42):
I wouldn't say that we had conversations in that way.
It was just like, you know, we came up in
the era where it was so unusual for a man
and a woman to be friends.
Speaker 10 (48:55):
Right.
Speaker 21 (48:55):
Let mean really think about it, like that's more of
an open idea now.
Speaker 20 (49:00):
Right, but just think in our era that was just
like friends.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
They had to be dat like what what what?
Speaker 17 (49:07):
Right?
Speaker 21 (49:07):
And so I think for him it was just like
getting your mind around around that, you know, and that
the kind of friendship that we had because we had
such a you know, tight friendship that you know, it
was very impactful on my life, you know. So I
(49:30):
think it was just getting the understanding around that Tupac
and Eye could be friends, you know, and that that
that he was a part of my life in that way.
And so just we had a lot of conversations around
just those ideas.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
How did he get over that?
Speaker 20 (49:49):
I think he just realized that.
Speaker 21 (49:52):
And I really can't speak for will you shuld probably
ask him when he comes back, but I think he
just realized that that's what it was, you know what
I mean, it was like, that's.
Speaker 18 (50:00):
What it was.
Speaker 20 (50:01):
It's like, you know, that was that beautiful friendship.
Speaker 21 (50:04):
And I think once he really and started as he
got older, started having his own friendships with women, like, oh,
that that is possible.
Speaker 13 (50:14):
How are you with that?
Speaker 20 (50:15):
I listen, I always told will you need some female friends?
Speaker 1 (50:19):
Did you yes?
Speaker 3 (50:20):
Because I think I think I think.
Speaker 20 (50:22):
Men and women.
Speaker 21 (50:24):
I think men do need female friends because and women
need male friends. And I actually think men once they
have daughters.
Speaker 1 (50:33):
I got four, I got four, and you got four daughters.
Speaker 21 (50:37):
And but I see I would now let me ask
you a question, would you say that having daughters helped
you understand and see that. I think that's what happened
to will I think once Willow came, you know, and
then he started to realize a different relationship with the feminine, right,
(50:59):
and then he realize, oh, wow, you know you can
have relationships with women that are non sexual or however,
y'all have to you know, manage that in your own minds.
Speaker 2 (51:10):
Right.
Speaker 21 (51:11):
I think once Willow came, she was his teacher on
that for sure, and so he was able to have
female friends.
Speaker 6 (51:17):
I will keep a lock. We got more with Jada
Pinkett Smith. Her book Worthy is out right now, So
don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning, where back,
It's the Breakfast Club DJ n V. Charlamagne the God
and we're still kicking it with Jada Pinkett Smith. Her
book Worthy is out right now.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
Charlamagne in the No Soccer Mom chapter A, right, you
shoot down every rumor there's ever been about y'all that
y'all are swingers, that y'all were both gay and playing
each other's bids, that y'all was sleeping with whomever you choose. Yeah,
how does it feel in twenty twenty three to still
have those same rumors out about people you love, like
Willan Dwinn.
Speaker 1 (51:48):
I know that just came out too recently.
Speaker 21 (51:50):
Yeah, you know, And let me just say this, it's ridiculous, right,
and it's nonsense. And this is a person that tried
a shakedown, a money shakedown that didn't work. We're gonna
take legal action because it's one thing to have your
opinion about somebody versus just making up salacious, malicious stories.
(52:18):
So that's actionable. So we're gonna roll with that, you
know what I mean, it's not true. We're gonna take
care of it.
Speaker 1 (52:27):
And that's that it was a money shakedown, yea.
Speaker 21 (52:32):
Well, it's it's based around this person's idea that they
in some way were doing business around Will's book and
that they spent money or what have you, and that
they needed to be compensated. So he already tried to
do this money shakedown. Will was willing to give him
(52:54):
a certain amount or what have you, and he didn't
take it.
Speaker 22 (52:56):
So this whole situation is based on that give him
a certain amount while though.
Speaker 21 (53:01):
Just well because of some business that they had and
I don't know the complete details about it, but that's
about to come out because, like I told you about
to take legal action, you should.
Speaker 20 (53:11):
Yeah, no, we are for sure.
Speaker 1 (53:13):
I was asking, how is Will dealing with it? You know,
with oh, release a statement.
Speaker 8 (53:19):
Will.
Speaker 21 (53:21):
Here's the one good thing about Will. Will's always gonna
find the funny.
Speaker 20 (53:24):
I figured that, Ye kid's always gonna find the funny,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (53:29):
And so after the murder, murder, kill kill.
Speaker 20 (53:32):
Yeah, you have to.
Speaker 22 (53:35):
You have to because it's absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 20 (53:40):
You know what I'm saying. And so all you have
is you just got to laugh about it, you know.
And it's unfortunate because.
Speaker 1 (53:47):
Did he ask you, like, do I look like I
give off bottom?
Speaker 20 (53:51):
He was like do you believe it?
Speaker 17 (53:53):
You know?
Speaker 20 (53:53):
But we just laughed about it.
Speaker 4 (53:55):
Got to ask about Tyresee. Now, there was a rumor
that Tyree called you. Oh, he said he called you
on the phone. He was he was, he was on med,
he was out of it. Yeah, and he told you
I ain't no killer, Jada, I ain't no killer, but
don't push me. Oh, things like the sweetest joy that's
getting I don't know why he's.
Speaker 25 (54:14):
So.
Speaker 21 (54:15):
Tyrese did call me, for sure, and he was he
was definitely in a in a state, and I was
really concerned, you know, and I'm just called.
Speaker 1 (54:29):
Though he said he said him and Charlie Max said,
he quoted Tupac.
Speaker 20 (54:33):
He called Tupac.
Speaker 1 (54:34):
No, he said, he called you and quoted Tupac.
Speaker 14 (54:36):
He may have.
Speaker 21 (54:37):
Let me tell you something. I was so worried at
that time when he made that call about his his state,
because it was really deeply concerned that I don't I
couldn't even tell you exactly what happened because I'm trying
(54:57):
to think about who I can get there, Who can
I get in the house, how can I get him help? Yeah,
And so that I was, I was in I was,
I was a little panicked, you know, to just make
sure that he was okay and that nothing was gonna happen,
(55:18):
he wasn't gonna hurt himself or anybody else. So that
I couldn't even I don't even remember what he said,
what he said.
Speaker 4 (55:27):
I want to talk about the book and a debate
I had at dinner a couple of weeks ago with
some friends because in the book, you say that you
and Will decided to separate in every way except legally. Yeah,
and y'all would have complete transparency, no secrets about what
y'all were doing, in whom y'all were doing it with, right,
And the debate we were having was or early in
the books, you said that they've never been in an
(55:48):
open relationship, But isn't that an open relationship?
Speaker 20 (55:50):
Well, here's the difference between that.
Speaker 21 (55:52):
That's when you're you're in an open relationship and you
are still intimate with each other.
Speaker 20 (56:00):
Right, at that point, we went our separate ways.
Speaker 21 (56:03):
So it's as if we are divorced, separated and just
trying to figure out how we're going to go about it.
But at that particular point in time, we were no
longer relating in that way, right, because for us, it
was over.
Speaker 20 (56:23):
It was done. So if you're in an.
Speaker 21 (56:25):
Open relationship, that means that you are still in a
relationship with one another romantically.
Speaker 20 (56:33):
And you are okay with being with other people romantically.
Speaker 21 (56:37):
Yated, we were separated, like done done, done, done done.
Speaker 1 (56:43):
Why did you choose not to say August's name in
the book?
Speaker 21 (56:48):
Really just to I felt like he's been through enough,
you know what I mean? And I just wanted to
be respectful in that manner.
Speaker 1 (56:58):
I really did. Do you feel like that's something that
you need to heal like that situation.
Speaker 21 (57:04):
I'm hoping at some point, you know, I'm definitely hoping
at some point for sure.
Speaker 4 (57:10):
Yeah, I want to ask you too, if you pick
a crew to run with in real life, would you
choose between the cast or set it off?
Speaker 1 (57:17):
For the cast of girls? Set it off?
Speaker 22 (57:20):
Oh that's a hard one, Damn Charlamagne, that's a hard one.
Speaker 6 (57:25):
Set it off.
Speaker 20 (57:26):
It was Rioters, they were ters, for sure.
Speaker 21 (57:30):
But you know both crews they got, you know, they
got something real special. Yeah, I'm gonna plead the fifth
on that.
Speaker 4 (57:39):
I only got two more questions, like, when you having
these conversations now, how do you know in your words
that this isn't the pseudo guru using rationale and borrowed
wisdom to tell.
Speaker 1 (57:50):
You what you want to hear?
Speaker 22 (57:54):
Because it sits so beautifully in my heart.
Speaker 21 (57:58):
Now, what I will say about it, that is, that's
why you gotta always stay open because as we continue
to grow and learn, you know, it's Bruce Lee said,
it best be like water. You know what I mean,
Because that's where I'm sitting right now.
Speaker 20 (58:17):
Who knows when I come back, If you know.
Speaker 21 (58:19):
What it'll be then because we just gotta stay open,
we gotta stay fluid.
Speaker 20 (58:23):
But for now, it's what speaks to me deeply, you know,
And that's all we got, you know, for the moment.
Speaker 4 (58:33):
My last question, and it's a quote, And the quote
is other people's opinion to you, whether it's good or bad,
should not be ground And what you base your self worth,
your value is inherent within you.
Speaker 1 (58:43):
What matters the most is whether you know you are worthy.
So do you know you're worthy?
Speaker 20 (58:48):
Absolutely? And you know what it really comes from.
Speaker 21 (58:52):
And I wanted to say this in regards to the
question you asked about self worth really dealing with self judgment, Like,
once we can cure our self judgment in a certain manner, right,
people's opinion about you can only affect you if you
(59:12):
believe it, you know what I mean. Once you really
know who you are, once you really know your self worth,
anything that anybody else has to say about you really
can't affect you, you know. And so you know, I
know how much work it's taken for me to get
to know myself. I can't expect anybody else to know
(59:34):
me like that, you know what I mean? So I
have to be willing and accept whatever opinions come my way.
Speaker 1 (59:43):
I get it. Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (59:46):
Yeah, gentlemen, thank you.
Speaker 1 (59:53):
This was beautiful.
Speaker 6 (59:54):
The book worthy is out right now. Make sure you
get it and thank you.
Speaker 20 (59:58):
No, I won't not at all.
Speaker 6 (01:00:00):
It's the Breakfast Cloud, It's Jada Pika Smith.
Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.
Speaker 5 (01:00:07):
I was donkey up to day.
Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Damn he hogged. It's time for donkey the d I
ain't trying to be donkey today no more. They should
be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making
these people do these days called Donkey of the Day,
and it really caught me off guard.
Speaker 8 (01:00:25):
Damn charlamagn who got the donkey out the day today?
Speaker 5 (01:00:29):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
Jess hilarious.
Speaker 4 (01:00:30):
Donkey Today for Thursday, November sixteenth goes to thirty five
year old Joseph Halder. I think I say pronounce his
name of a volunteer firefighter from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
This is one of those ones that caused me to
reflect a little. And in my reflection I thought to myself,
I wonder if humans are as insane as Donkey of
the Day makes them out to be, maybe I need
to give humans the benefit of the doubt. Boor and say, hey,
(01:00:52):
it's just me. You're the guy who does Donkey of
to day, so you choose to seek out this crazy
every day. And since I choose to seek this crazy
every day, I attracted crazy by way of stories. Okay,
people send me these things and I read them and
I can't believe them. So I read them again and
I still can't believe them. Then I check out the
sauces to make sure that these stories are real because
I don't believe them. And every morning we end up here,
(01:01:15):
same donkey time, same donkey channel, and today is really
no exception. Salute to all the public servants out there,
all the individuals who realize that your true purpose in
life is service to others, dropping the clues bombs for
those individuals. I told you, Joseph, it is a volunteer
filler for firefighter. Volunteer firefighters are absolutely public servants. Being
a volunteer firefighter is absolutely an active service. But do
(01:01:36):
you ever think to yourself, well, what if you're a
firefighter and there's nothing to do, nobody to serve. What
if you're a firefighter and there's no fires to fight
because there is no fires? Have you ever thought about
that well, Joseph has and you also had a solution.
Let's go to WSB channel two for the report.
Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
Police.
Speaker 14 (01:01:54):
It was the third such structured fighter in the area
in a short amount of time, which by self is
kind of suspicious.
Speaker 26 (01:02:01):
A volunteer firefighter for the Whitefish Township Fire Department was
officially charged today for setting a building on fire Saturday night.
Joseph Halder was a firefighter on the department for only
a few months. Today he stepped in front of a
judge for arson. Halder is accused of setting fire to
the building that used to house Ruth's Gift Shop in
downtown Paradise. Chipwall County Sheriff Mike Bittner was on the
(01:02:25):
scene moments after the call came in. He immediately looked
over surveillance footage from a gas station across the street.
A short time later, deputies arrested Halder while he was
fighting the fire. Helder is charged with third degree arson.
He's facing ten years in prison and a twenty thousand
dollars fine.
Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
Only you can prevent firefighters, firefires. What am I trying
to say? Forest fires?
Speaker 17 (01:02:48):
Here?
Speaker 6 (01:02:48):
You go, okay, firefighters, right, Well, that's right.
Speaker 4 (01:02:52):
Only you can prevent farest fires. And you know how
you prevent them by not starting them yourself? Okay, starting
in my life. This is a literal, physical, tangible example
of what self destruction looks like. See when you start
going to therapy right and doing the work on yourself
and start healing some of these traumas, when you get
to the place in your life where you know you
start feeling pockets to peace, when you start feeling genuine happiness,
(01:03:13):
when you feel.
Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
Joy, you will find a way to start a fire.
Speaker 12 (01:03:16):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:03:17):
This man started a fire and then showed up to
put out the fire that he helped start.
Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
I promise you this is the version of me that
I run from.
Speaker 4 (01:03:24):
I don't want to start any fires, especially when things
are peaceful. When things are peaceful, I want them to
remain peaceful. I don't want to go grab a canister
something flammable, some fire and set things aflame just because
I'm not used to peace. This man, Joseph, was looking
for chaos. He was working with the fire department for
just a few months, and he wanted action so much
so that he started a fire himself and then went
(01:03:46):
to help.
Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
Put it out.
Speaker 4 (01:03:48):
I know people like this, right, now in corporate America.
I know people like this right now in my life.
They will create a problem themselves just so they can have.
Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
Something to do, just so they have some to fix.
Speaker 4 (01:04:00):
Let me tell you something, when you have to do
things like that in order to feel like you did something,
then you need to do some internal work on yourself,
because that don't make any damn sense.
Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
All right.
Speaker 4 (01:04:09):
Paul Sloan says, the innovative leader has to be an
arsonist and a firefighter. But I don't think he meant
that literally, Okay, Nor josephs Through, I believe you are
an innovative leader. And did you know that roughly it's
a fun little snap effect. Roughly one hundred firefighters are
convicted of arson each year.
Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
It's called firefighter arson. True story.
Speaker 4 (01:04:27):
There is a very small minority of firefighters who are
also active arsonists. And guess what they say motivates these
people boredom okay, are by the prospect of receiving attention
for responding to the fires. They have said, sound familiar, Okay,
I told y'all earlier this week, I don't mind as
the devil's workshop. These folks really don't be having anything
(01:04:48):
to do This is truly the era that has everything
and absolutely nothing all at once. And that is because
the things you all crave aren't real. You got all
these followers on social media, but no real connection to nobody.
Your log on every day to a community that's not
even a real community. You're seeking validation and attention and
(01:05:09):
likes and retweets and engagement. None of it is real,
and that's why you're bored and you resort to doing
dumb snicker doodles.
Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
That's a bet edit like Joseph did.
Speaker 4 (01:05:18):
Now Joseph is facing up to ten years in prison
and a twenty thousand dollars fine, and he's a person
of interest and at least two other fires in the area.
Some donkey today is just sell themselves. Please let me
remind give Joseph Handler the biggest he.
Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
Huh hee ha he ha.
Speaker 3 (01:05:33):
You stupid motherfucker?
Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
Are you dumb?
Speaker 4 (01:05:36):
I can't believe you'll be doing this snicker doodles? And
don't be Joseph Hadler. Okay, don't start a fire just
to have something to do. Not only that, there's some
of us who will set ourselves on fire to keep
others warm. That means you put other people's knees in
front of your own. You do know that's not sustainable, right, okay,
just so we're clear, all right, Well, thank you for
(01:05:56):
that donkey today, sir.
Speaker 6 (01:05:58):
Now when we come back, well first be et will
see them all piece be et now when we come back.
Jada Pickett Smith, she was on the show Last Home.
We spoke to her for what over an hour?
Speaker 1 (01:06:09):
H sure? Yeah, we spoke to her for over whole
conversation is on YouTube, by the way. Yeah, you cans
into it right now, watch it right now.
Speaker 6 (01:06:15):
She talked about in relationships and in marriages, having friends
with the opposite sex, and this.
Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
Is what she actually said.
Speaker 6 (01:06:23):
When Will was up here, he talked about being insecure
a little bit about Tupac. Did y'all ever have that conversation?
Because as a man, when you're a little insecure, I
almost feel like you play both sides. You want to
be yourself, but you want to show that you're better
than the person that's making him insecured. Did y'all ever
have that conversation?
Speaker 20 (01:06:41):
I wouldn't say that we had conversations in that way.
Speaker 21 (01:06:44):
It was just like, you know, we came up in
the era where it was so unusual for a man
and a woman to be friends.
Speaker 20 (01:06:53):
In our era, that was just like friends, they had
to be dating. Yeah, like what what right?
Speaker 21 (01:06:58):
And so I think for him it was just like
getting your mind around around that, you know, and that
the kind of friendship that we had, because we had
such a you know, tight friendship that you know, was
very impactful on my life.
Speaker 6 (01:07:20):
All right, So let's discuss eight hundred and five eight
five one oh five to one. When you're in a relationship,
is it okay for your spouse or your significant other
to have friends of the opposite sex, not.
Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
Even just in marriage, but in life.
Speaker 4 (01:07:33):
You can have platonic friendships like I got wave of
homegirls and I got homeboys, and a lot of times
a lot of these people are grandfathered in, like you know,
y'all been friends forever, you know what I mean. And
another thing Jada said during that conversation, she was like,
she didn't say, you know, we're not talking about new people,
talking about people that have been around for a long time.
Speaker 7 (01:07:52):
And it kind of helps you too, like in your
relationship to have friends that are of the opposite sex.
So when you vent or not telling them, you're you know,
personal business. But when you tell them what's going on,
they give you a perspective that your significant other might
have and kind of balance it out.
Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
You don't have a whole lot of yes men about yo.
I feel you, bro, No, I don't feel you.
Speaker 6 (01:08:10):
You messed up or it can hurt you know, Like
Charlemagne said, no new friends, no new people coming around.
If that, if the individual is a new then we
all friends. Right, we all speak, but it ain't.
Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
It ain't a.
Speaker 6 (01:08:21):
Situation where you just speak to my wife or I
just speak to her. No, no, no, no, We all friends, but.
Speaker 7 (01:08:27):
Even even old friendships should still be We all friends.
Speaker 1 (01:08:31):
Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:08:32):
Yeah, So let's discuss eight hundred and five eight five
one oh five one. What are your thoughts? Phone lines
wide open. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 13 (01:08:46):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
It's topic time.
Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one to
join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (01:08:54):
More than everybody.
Speaker 6 (01:08:55):
It's dj en V Charlemagne, the God. We are the
Breakfast Club. Now if you just joining us, we're talking
about Jada Pinkins Smith.
Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
She was on the show earlier.
Speaker 6 (01:09:03):
By the way, we have our guest co host, Easy
baby with us this morning as well, and we were
talking about in relationships, marriages or whatever it may be
your significant other, having a friend of the opposite sex. Now,
this is what Jada Pinkinsmith said when we was up here.
He talked about being insecure a little bit about Tupac.
Did y'all ever have that conversation? Because as a man,
(01:09:25):
when you're a little insecure, I almost feel like you
play both sides. You want to be yourself, but you
want to show that you're better than the person that's
making him insecured. Did y'all ever have that conversation?
Speaker 20 (01:09:35):
I wouldn't say that we had conversations in that way.
Speaker 21 (01:09:38):
It was just like, you know, we came up in
the era where it was so unusual for a man
and a woman to be friends.
Speaker 20 (01:09:47):
In our era, that was just like friends.
Speaker 1 (01:09:49):
They had to be dating.
Speaker 20 (01:09:50):
Yeah, like what what right?
Speaker 21 (01:09:52):
And so I think for him it was just like
getting your mind around a around that, you know, and
that the kind of friendship that we had because we
had such a you know, tight friendship that you know,
it was very impactful on my life.
Speaker 6 (01:10:13):
All right, let's discuss what are your thoughts that start
with you?
Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
Baby?
Speaker 3 (01:10:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (01:10:17):
I feel like relationships with the opposite sex are necessary,
Like how can you just be in this world and
just be around people that have the same private parts
you have? You're gonna you may streamline your thinking, you
can't really get opposed you know, feelings or thoughts.
Speaker 3 (01:10:33):
So I think it's necessary.
Speaker 7 (01:10:34):
But I think you also have to have respect for
your partner, Like I would marry somebody that didn't trust
me in a room without them. So you gotta trust
that I'm gonna put you first, and I'm gonna honor
the vows that I made to you, and that you
know I'm not gonna put nobody in our circle that
could threaten what we got.
Speaker 6 (01:10:49):
So yeah, and in my relationship with me and my wife,
we don't really trust too many people. So for us,
it has to be mutual friends, right, meaning you know,
we meet them together and not like not like Charlomage
said earlier, like I can't just meet you at the
grocery store and now we're friends, and it's not going
to be like that. It has to be some type
of establishment, and my wife has to approve, and with her,
(01:11:10):
I have to approve. Outside of that, No, we're not
taking on new friends, and we it has to be
our friends, Like I mean, I should be able to
call that person like you should be able to call
that person. It should be a cohesive type of situation.
Speaker 1 (01:11:23):
Charlamagne. Yeah, I never even think about it until this
discussion comes up.
Speaker 4 (01:11:27):
I got mad homegirls, right, yeah, my homegirls and my
wives friends too.
Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
In fact, they probably like her more than they like me.
Speaker 6 (01:11:35):
Everybody does, like, so I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:11:37):
Even like this discussion is like very it's silly to me,
it's immature.
Speaker 4 (01:11:41):
You know, a lot of people feel that way because
sometimes they got insecurities and they immature, or it's.
Speaker 6 (01:11:46):
New friends, and sometimes people are not around for the
right reason. And we know this, and I know especially
and I hate to say this, a lot of fellas
sometimes will try to befriend your girl, not because they
want to be a friend, your girl's friend, they want
to smash Well.
Speaker 4 (01:11:59):
I'm never trying to befriend nobody. I'm never trying to
befriend a man's girl. Like that's not happening.
Speaker 1 (01:12:04):
Like people do that.
Speaker 4 (01:12:05):
There's reasons why, you know, either your friends or your
friends or even these new people who may come into
your life, y'all, might work together, you know what I mean,
y'all might be doing projects together.
Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
Like anytime I'm gonna be spending time.
Speaker 4 (01:12:18):
With anyone, my wife is gonna know who that person is,
you know what I mean, whether it's a man or
a woman. Hey, we're doing such and such with this individual,
or hey, we're all going out to dinner. We're all
going My wife is gonna be to everybody like, there's
no woman in my life that's my friend, that ain't
out wife.
Speaker 7 (01:12:34):
And a lot of people are taking like teenage drama
into big age relationships, Like you know, you had to
worry about this stuff in high school. People break up
and get together with a new person next week. It's
really not the same when you're forty.
Speaker 4 (01:12:46):
If you can't have a platonic relationship with somebody from
the opposite sex, something wrong with you.
Speaker 23 (01:12:50):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
Let's go to the phone lines. We have dupre on
the line.
Speaker 18 (01:12:53):
Dupre man, what's the djella money?
Speaker 1 (01:12:56):
And I guess, busy baby, what's up? Dupree talk to us?
Speaker 18 (01:12:59):
Dupre so I was I was listening for what Jedi
was talking about. I definitely got female friends. I don't
really hang out with dudes. And my baby mama who's
now my fiance. She don't really be liking it.
Speaker 13 (01:13:09):
She's jealous and.
Speaker 14 (01:13:10):
Stuff like that.
Speaker 11 (01:13:11):
There and they just had a party and I'm like,
and I'm trying to go to the party.
Speaker 18 (01:13:14):
She's like, no, you ain't going.
Speaker 11 (01:13:15):
They be working and stuff, and I'm like, gonna meet it.
Speaker 6 (01:13:18):
Yeah, but why would you bring your baby mama there?
Why would you bring what you?
Speaker 14 (01:13:23):
So when they hit me with the invite, I'm like,
since we just got to get it, I'm like, man,
I know she gonna want to come, and they was like,
that's cool, she could come, but she still was do
some type of ways. So I'm like, man, whatever, I
end up not going, like I just want to sleep.
Speaker 13 (01:13:36):
I wake up in the morning and.
Speaker 14 (01:13:37):
Looked on social media.
Speaker 18 (01:13:38):
They definitely was working, so it was just.
Speaker 11 (01:13:40):
Like after they do though, I like getting around me
shout out to the homegirls, man for real, for real.
Speaker 7 (01:13:45):
But if if you had included her in that friendship
from the beginning, it wouldn't have been.
Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
Days working, it would have been weeds working.
Speaker 20 (01:13:51):
It would have been a.
Speaker 11 (01:13:52):
Home But I was always then made her friends though,
so like I can understand like them mad with your
friends that you ain't gonna really want to around them
girls because you don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:14:01):
But hold that bright. You supposed to be the bridge
between that though.
Speaker 7 (01:14:05):
You supposed to be the bridge between your friends and
your girlfriend, and that that should have already been better
than it is.
Speaker 11 (01:14:10):
I would say for the most part, she was cool
with something like, you know, that's on you not I
wanted to come around. You could have came around.
Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
Even when you cool.
Speaker 6 (01:14:19):
You was like I got the invitation. You was like, damn,
you know my wife gonna you know, you know I
have to bring her. You didn't say, you didn't make
it seem like she was invited to.
Speaker 5 (01:14:29):
Her friends be kicking it.
Speaker 13 (01:14:30):
I ain't chilling with this, you know what I mean?
Speaker 11 (01:14:32):
You go with your friends. These are my friends.
Speaker 5 (01:14:34):
This is who I grew up with.
Speaker 11 (01:14:35):
I've been knowing them to seventh.
Speaker 5 (01:14:36):
Grade, you know what I mean.
Speaker 11 (01:14:36):
We're thirty years old now. So it's like at any
point in time you like, oh, yeah, i've been I've
been knew there was your homegirls.
Speaker 5 (01:14:43):
I'm just gonna hang with y'all.
Speaker 11 (01:14:43):
I don't have plenty of girls. I'm kicking it with y'all,
you know what I mean. But that's on you to
choose felt some type of way you never want.
Speaker 10 (01:14:50):
To come na.
Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
Like BZ said, you gotta be the bridge bro like you.
Speaker 4 (01:14:57):
And if those are really your friends, they gonna absolutely
not only want to meet your fiance, they don't want
to accept her and embrace her as a friend too.
Speaker 6 (01:15:04):
Hello who's this Yanni?
Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
Hey, Yanni, good morning to talk to us like the egg, no,
like the pi and not the tis.
Speaker 5 (01:15:14):
What All right? Go ahead?
Speaker 10 (01:15:17):
Yanni?
Speaker 15 (01:15:18):
Okay, Okay, So my take on this is like, I'm
I'm a girl that have really don't have many female
friends because just acts funny sometimes. But I believe like
you guys are saying, if you have a friend that
you've had for a long time, then everyone should be
friends and everyone should be comfortable with it. For a girl,
(01:15:39):
it's easy to have dudes as friends because they're gonna think,
I know how I get down. They're gonna think one
day maybe it might happen, but they're gonna still continue
to be loyal.
Speaker 18 (01:15:48):
I think when the dude.
Speaker 15 (01:15:49):
Has a female friend, they be It's more like if
he ify even if you get to know them, because
I don't know I'm a female, I don't know how
females get down, So I wouldn't be really comfortable with that.
But on my part, I was I wouldn't have a
bottom with having my dude friends and that was my dude.
Speaker 13 (01:16:05):
You know.
Speaker 7 (01:16:06):
So you are right with it because you feel like
you can control whether or not it goes down because
you know you're giving them access or you're denying access.
But when it comes to your man, you feel like
he can't control himself. He just if they open it up,
he just diving in.
Speaker 15 (01:16:20):
Well I'm not saying totally, but you know, I mean personally,
I just feel like guys got that little extra okay
maybe or you know, let it get a little too closed,
you know, withisper in his ears are like, nah, we're
not doing that.
Speaker 5 (01:16:33):
So no Oka.
Speaker 6 (01:16:34):
Thank you, Yanni eight hundred and five eight five one
oh five one. If you're just joining us, we're talking
about Jada Pink Smith. Something she said during our interview
about uh, men having women friends and women having men friends.
We'll discuss when we come back as the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
Good morning, it's topic time.
Speaker 3 (01:16:52):
The phone.
Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
Called eight hundred and five eight five five one to
join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club talking.
Speaker 1 (01:16:59):
About it wearing everybody.
Speaker 6 (01:17:01):
It's DJ Envy, CHARLAMAGNEA God. We are to Breakfast Club
now if you're just joining us. Jada Pinkett Smith was
here last hour. We were talking about men having women
friends and women having men friends, and this is how
a conversation started. When we was up here, he talked
about being insecure a little bit about Tupac. Did y'all
ever have that conversation? Because as a man, when you're
(01:17:23):
a little insecure, I almost feel like you play both sides.
You want to be yourself, but you want to show
that you're better than the person that's making him insecure.
Did y'all ever have that conversation?
Speaker 20 (01:17:32):
I wouldn't say that we had conversations in that way.
Speaker 21 (01:17:35):
It was just like, you know, we came up in
the era where it was so unusual for a man
and a woman to be friends.
Speaker 20 (01:17:44):
In our era, that was just like friends.
Speaker 1 (01:17:47):
They had to be dating.
Speaker 20 (01:17:48):
Yeah, like what what?
Speaker 17 (01:17:49):
Right?
Speaker 21 (01:17:50):
And so I think for him it was just like
getting your mind around around that, you know, and that
the kind of friendship that we had because we had
such a you know, tight friendship that you know.
Speaker 20 (01:18:09):
Was very impactful on my life.
Speaker 6 (01:18:11):
So we're asking eight hundred five eighty five one oh
five to one, what are your thoughts now? Beasy Baby,
as our guest co host today, she feels like men
should have women friends and women should have men friends.
Speaker 7 (01:18:21):
Yeah, you have to now, you can't be a well
rounded individual just walking around with a whole bunch of
I don't want to be in a room full of
nothing but vagina.
Speaker 13 (01:18:28):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:18:29):
I feel like I grew up with the all brothers.
Speaker 7 (01:18:32):
You know, they teach me things about myself and about
men that I need to know. So as I get older,
I don't know. I got male best friends, and my
husband's cool with that, and I'm okay with him having
girlfriends dis respect absolutely.
Speaker 6 (01:18:44):
Like the caller said earlier that the thing that he
was saying that, you know, he didn't know if he
wanted to bring his fiance around his other friends. I'm
the different. I'm totally different. When I go out, Baby,
you want to come because I'm going to have just
as much friend with the homies than with my wife
as well. Like anybody ever see me out or I've
been out anywhere, I've been my wife with me. I
have a great time with my wife. I drink my
wife drink.
Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
It don't matter.
Speaker 6 (01:19:04):
We have a good time. If we go to a
strip club, we both tipp it. If we go to
I don't know, casina, we both gambling, like we have
that much fun.
Speaker 7 (01:19:12):
But it's a little questionable when somebody sends an invite
to DJ Envy as opposed to you and your wife,
Like the invite should be coming to both of you anyway,
one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (01:19:22):
And that's what I told the dude last time, Like
when he said he didn't want to bring his fiance
around his friends. Your friends should not only want to
meet your fiance, they should be embracing your fiance and
bringing her into the circle of friends with open arms.
Speaker 1 (01:19:35):
Correct. Correct, Well, let's go to the phone lines. The lord,
who's this?
Speaker 17 (01:19:39):
This is Lydia.
Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
Hey, Lydia, good.
Speaker 5 (01:19:41):
Morning, good morning every day.
Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
Oh my god, what's your thoughts?
Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
So my thoughts is I.
Speaker 27 (01:19:49):
Believe it's okay for each us to have guy or
girlfriends as long as they are respectful of the relationship
fast marriage because we are married. So and then I
work in the night life part time, so I'm a bartender, waitress,
and I have a bunch of guy friends that I
work with for years. And when my husband and I
(01:20:10):
first started dating, he was very like accepting of everything
and everybody because everybody was like cool and respectful. And
once I got married, like everybody was like, nah, she's married,
leave her alone, leave her alone, like they were very
perspective of me. So yeah, and then his girls grow
homegirls that he's had, there's only ever been one person
(01:20:31):
that I have to be like, she's not your friend,
because a girl just knows when somebody's trying to put.
Speaker 6 (01:20:36):
Her do so, but I won't say that that might
change it a little bit too, right. And the reason
I say that might change if you're if you're working
and guys are hollering at you all day long, I
think that can make any guy feel a little insecure.
Speaker 8 (01:20:49):
Why.
Speaker 27 (01:20:50):
I mean, he doesn't say anything like because they don't
touch me, they don't do anything, Like they can look
and they can say what they want to say, and
he did. He's not bothered by it because he knows
at the end of the night, I'm coming home.
Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (01:21:04):
So what you're what you're calling being bothered and is
actually just called being insecure, Yes, I said, but why
so you don't trust your woman? No?
Speaker 6 (01:21:12):
It's not a matter about trusting, but it's just a
certain job. So when you bartend, the most bartender is
I would say a majority of them. They when they
serve drinks, they flirt a little, right. We've all had
a bartend that flirt, yes or no.
Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
No, I think you're kind.
Speaker 7 (01:21:27):
I think you just you're just kind, You're nice to everybody.
Speaker 1 (01:21:30):
That's your ego. You think you think everybody flirting with you,
that's your ego.
Speaker 6 (01:21:34):
Right light skin right red red.
Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
The bartenders flirt sometimes.
Speaker 3 (01:21:38):
All the time, the red light skin too.
Speaker 6 (01:21:41):
Man, do you flirt at all with with people that
that bydric?
Speaker 23 (01:21:45):
No?
Speaker 9 (01:21:45):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
Can I tell you guys something.
Speaker 27 (01:21:47):
I'm just nice. I'm just nice And then they're like
just nice and then they mistake it for flirting, but
I'm like, no, I'm not flirting.
Speaker 1 (01:21:53):
And then I have to be mean to Like I
want all guys out there to know. That's your ego talking.
Speaker 4 (01:21:58):
If you think that every girl girl being kind to
you is flirting, And if you think every girl being
just nice to you means that they want you, that's
all ego brod and and and and you helen insecure.
If you think that, uh, you're hell insecure and you
don't trust your woman. If you think guys hollering at her,
if guy's hollering at her, bothers you bartend.
Speaker 1 (01:22:20):
Is definitely flirt all the time. I want to say
all the.
Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
Time, but they but everybody flirts. Like the lady at
Walmart begging your groceries is flirt.
Speaker 1 (01:22:34):
All she said was high, have a nice day.
Speaker 3 (01:22:42):
Listen.
Speaker 7 (01:22:42):
Anywhere you go, you're gonna find what you're looking for.
So if you go to the board looking for someone
to flirt, that's what she's doing.
Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
Good morning, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 6 (01:22:49):
Talk to what's your thoughts me personally?
Speaker 11 (01:22:53):
Like I said, like Jada said, my immotreself wanted to
be friends with my man's friends all the time when
I was younger me now, I don't even care. That's
your mand Like, those are your friends.
Speaker 5 (01:23:04):
I don't want to be friends with the girlfriends.
Speaker 11 (01:23:06):
I don't want to be friends with their wives.
Speaker 5 (01:23:08):
Just let me do me.
Speaker 13 (01:23:09):
You go have fun with their friends, and I'm good.
Speaker 1 (01:23:11):
Yeah, if it happens organically, oh that's great.
Speaker 19 (01:23:15):
I don't really care anymore.
Speaker 11 (01:23:16):
I'm just you know, I've gotten older, I'm more mature,
like at this point, if it's beneficial to youth, fine,
If it's not beneficial to youth, cut it out.
Speaker 13 (01:23:26):
For me.
Speaker 11 (01:23:26):
It's not beneficial, so I don't want any parts.
Speaker 6 (01:23:28):
Of it, yakisha, all right, what's the more of the story, guys?
Speaker 17 (01:23:33):
More?
Speaker 3 (01:23:33):
The story is friends? How many of us have?
Speaker 1 (01:23:43):
I think?
Speaker 4 (01:23:44):
I think the moral of the story is friendship is
always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
That's what I think.
Speaker 3 (01:23:52):
And it doesn't matter what private part you have.
Speaker 1 (01:23:54):
Yes, well, let's get to the rumors.
Speaker 16 (01:24:00):
Mad when people don't understand your dreams. God be eating
in your vision.
Speaker 4 (01:24:06):
Here's you.
Speaker 9 (01:24:08):
If you say my name three times?
Speaker 6 (01:24:11):
Easy on the breakfast club, all the mics right now,
it's telamated, telemated produced that you know what else?
Speaker 4 (01:24:24):
Real quick with red and envy. Yes, sir, bartenders want tips,
you idiots. That's why he's being nicety, Your stupid asses.
That's not flirting. They want you all to tip them.
Speaker 7 (01:24:33):
Okay, continue busy period, all right, your shouts out the
t I.
Speaker 3 (01:24:38):
T I is doing some good in his community in Atlanta.
Speaker 7 (01:24:41):
He's building affordable housing complex and unbuilt one hundred and
forty three apartment units as well as twenty five special
units for homeless youth. And this is right there, Donald
Lee Hallowell Parkway, and this is the area where he
grew up. His grandma used to shop and he did
some things there hisself. Check out what the news had
to say about this.
Speaker 23 (01:25:03):
Today, Atlanta rapper Ti attended the ribbon cutting of his
first affordable apartment development. It includes one hundred and forty
three apartments and twenty five special.
Speaker 1 (01:25:10):
Units for homeless kids.
Speaker 23 (01:25:12):
The Introda West Side sits across from Center Hill Park
in northwest Atlanta. TI, his real name is Clifford Harris,
told us he remembers how the community struggled when he
was young.
Speaker 28 (01:25:21):
The arts entertainment industry in this city has been able
to collaborate and be profitable enough to offer the community
so many things that you know are much needed.
Speaker 23 (01:25:34):
Developer said of property was once a shopping center where
TI's grandmother used to shop for grocery.
Speaker 1 (01:25:39):
Man dropping the clues bombs for tip Man shout to ta.
Speaker 4 (01:25:42):
I need y'all to be loud about this because I
don't think y'all understand how incredible this is. You know,
people love to whisper your success, and they love to
scream about your failure. So y'all need to be loud
about this the way y'all lied about anything that's some bs,
because this is incredible. This, This is beyond investing in
your block. And Tips has been working on this for years.
Like he he bought that uh, he bought that building
(01:26:03):
a long, long, long, long long time before the pandemic,
way before the pandemic, like probably in over a decade ago.
Speaker 7 (01:26:09):
And as somebody who was homeless as a teenager, like
I understand the importance of this for kids that are
aging out of foster care and don't have anywhere to
go or don't have family, like this is really the
bridge to better.
Speaker 3 (01:26:19):
So shout out to him for that.
Speaker 4 (01:26:21):
Remember when he was up here, he was saying how
he had to have a had to have a grocery
store and there you had to have a store.
Speaker 1 (01:26:26):
That was just a few months ago. Yeah, So so
salute the tip.
Speaker 7 (01:26:30):
And now he's done it. And this is the same
community that he's taken from. Literally check this out.
Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
He don't tell nobody.
Speaker 29 (01:26:37):
I got couch still in that this came on up
right now, okay, and I thought that, you know, you know,
just to offset the.
Speaker 1 (01:26:45):
Shame that came with that it would be it would
behoove me, you know.
Speaker 29 (01:26:51):
To invest in the community by acquiring this piece of property.
Speaker 1 (01:26:56):
It's the least that could be, you know what I'm saying.
Everyone does a little, No one has to do a lot.
Speaker 13 (01:27:02):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (01:27:03):
Only a person who is from a community knows exactly
what the community needs.
Speaker 1 (01:27:08):
So Tip knows that that community needs that.
Speaker 7 (01:27:11):
So he gave it to him And shout out to
Killer Mike because he said this decision and the efforts
that he put into making this happen was inspired by
Killer Mike. So just goes to show how each one
of us can do a little something to make everything better.
Speaker 1 (01:27:22):
Love both those brothers. Man Saluta, Clifford Harrison, Michael.
Speaker 3 (01:27:24):
Renda also in the room of report.
Speaker 7 (01:27:26):
Looks like Drake is teasing a surprise EP just after
announcing the tour that he's going to be doing that
features j Cole.
Speaker 3 (01:27:32):
He posted this video saying that this new EP is
not leftover songs.
Speaker 7 (01:27:37):
This brand new stuff is brand new songs are moved
to create and put out in this moment to make
this moment a little bit better.
Speaker 3 (01:27:43):
Check out what he had to say.
Speaker 1 (01:27:45):
I feel no need to appease anybody.
Speaker 30 (01:27:49):
I feel so confident about the body of work that
I just dropped that I know I could go and
disappear for whatever, six months, a year, two years, even
though I'm not really like into it. I'm not really
into the lengthy, super lengthy disappearances for the sake of mystery.
But you know, ultimately it's coming to me in a
(01:28:13):
way that I haven't experience maybe since, like if you're
reading this, where it's just kind of like I feel
like I'm on drugs. I feel like I'm in that
mental state without doing anything.
Speaker 1 (01:28:23):
I did those songs in the last five days.
Speaker 30 (01:28:26):
I didn't have one bar written down for those songs
on the night that for All the Dolls dropped. It's
not like I'm picking up from some unfinished you know,
this is just it's happening on its own.
Speaker 4 (01:28:38):
Do you think he's inspired to do this because of
the backlash that the album that he put out for
All the Dogs got. Should we just accept the fact
that Drake likes to put out music the same way
Wayne does and Gucci and Young Boy and Pok. He
just likes making music. I think both are just a
response to the backlash. I think both.
Speaker 6 (01:28:52):
I think one is a little response to the backlash,
and too, I think he just enjoys making music. I mean,
Drake raps. He likes to make music or he wraps anything. Well,
he wraps, but he likes to put out and yeah,
and I'm excited about it. I can't wait to hear
it tonight. I'm hoping that he gives me what I
want pause and that's a full rap album.
Speaker 1 (01:29:09):
Him rapping.
Speaker 4 (01:29:10):
Drake is like the guy that you you just can't
help but be gay in his old screens, like for
no reason. I hope, I hope he drops to night
and he gives me what I want. I say it
like that God's coming, Oh my God, did you hear it?
Speaker 3 (01:29:25):
Grow up?
Speaker 1 (01:29:27):
You grow up?
Speaker 4 (01:29:28):
I ain't say grow up, I say gross, hey, yo,
scary out sexualizing. I don't just I'm a Drake fan
and I hope he gives me the music that I.
Speaker 1 (01:29:39):
Won't stop objective from people. It's just the way you
think about things. Everybody heard it. Everybody heard it, bro
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 4 (01:29:47):
I won't say this though, that Drake and j Cole
video hard first person shooting.
Speaker 3 (01:29:52):
What's happening? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
Because I never know what you had?
Speaker 14 (01:29:55):
What do you tell?
Speaker 17 (01:29:56):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (01:29:56):
Man, Jesus Christ?
Speaker 17 (01:29:59):
You like it?
Speaker 23 (01:29:59):
You?
Speaker 1 (01:30:00):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (01:30:00):
I like the video because that is how I want
my superstar rappers to be looking in videos. That was
a superstar rapper video, y'all be too regular, riding around
the city on city bikes and all kinds of crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:30:12):
It doesn't have the.
Speaker 6 (01:30:12):
Same budget, sir, that drinking definitely, but the pay out
of pocket. Every other rapper might not have that budget.
Speaker 4 (01:30:18):
And whoever that director was, I can't remember the guy's name.
It came on at the end of the video that
was like that was it? That was nineties rap video esque,
Like I enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (01:30:27):
I spend some money on that video. Yes, all right, all.
Speaker 3 (01:30:29):
Right, modolong.
Speaker 7 (01:30:30):
Cardi B is defending Will Smith. Will Smith's Name's been
in the headlines consistently lately. We heard a great Jadap
can gett interview earlier, and it looks like Cardi B
is chiming in the most recent story has the accusation
that he was getting he was getting with his friend
Dwayne Martin. If you've been listening since seven, you would
have already heard the interview. You know, Jada addressed the
(01:30:51):
allegation she's ready to go to war. She said they're
completely untrue. The Smith family does plan to take legal action.
If you missed it, make sure you check the interview
out on you to, but definitely check out what Cardi
Be had to say.
Speaker 25 (01:31:02):
I don't like how I was fooled a couple of
weeks ago.
Speaker 20 (01:31:05):
Some people just never change.
Speaker 25 (01:31:07):
I don't like that. I don't like what people be
doing to Will Smith. I Be found like Will Smith
is very unproblematic, and I feel like he got like
a nice heart. I found out that Will Smith.
Speaker 20 (01:31:17):
Is a libra.
Speaker 25 (01:31:17):
I always said this, like libras, we be getting tried,
we be getting tried, and then when we outburst, we
outburst so heavy that we become the ones in the wrong.
At your job, as a journalist, you should be able
to detect whether somebody is bush or not, because anybody
(01:31:39):
could say something about anybody. Look what happened to me
in twenty eighteen when a that I never I don't
even I didn't even know her name, was saying that
she know me, that she did into my house. Anybody
could say a fake ass story about you, fake as
believe it.
Speaker 4 (01:31:53):
Nobody cares about the truth and the lie more entertainment. Entertainment,
and there is no discernment with any of this stuff
because nobody wants to not believe. They want to believe
the silation stuff. It's it makes for better conversation for individuals.
It allows people to escape their own truth.
Speaker 1 (01:32:07):
That's right. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:32:08):
But they can mess up homes, it can mess up businesses,
it can mess up all types of things that people
are trying to do because of these lies. But that
is your rumor report. Now let's get to the People's choice.
Mix will be back. Don't go anywhere.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
Well, Jada, Pink and Smith will be joining us this morning. Man,
her book Worthy is out right now, we're gonna talk
to Jada Pinkett Smith.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I've been waiting to have this conversation simply because I
feel like people get caught up and reading the headlines,
but nobody's actually read the book.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And if you actually have.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Read the book, then you know it's a fantastic body
of work. And if you're if you haven't read the
book just based off the headlines, and you are really
missing uh, just just a great body of work, you know,
a great body of work, a person that is showing
their vulnerability and is on a path and a journey
to worthiness like we all are. If you've ever dealt
(02:45):
with any type of impositis syndrome in your life and
you're trying to get to a place of worthy, you
would really really enjoy her book.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
That's right, But you gotta read it.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Not all you gonna care about the will Smith's in
the tupox and everything else.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
So much more than that how many gym she's giving us.
We're gonna chop it up in a little bit. That
conversation we actually had yesterday was over an hour long.
That's why a lot of you guys seen the clip
that was floating around by her talking about lawsuit.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Oh, we put that clip out because that's what everybody
was talking about, at least, well at least on the
Nigga net of social media crack. You know, like, you
know what, let's be part of the algorithm that's been
part of it. Let's join in. And the TMZ was downstairs, yeah,
you know, stepping on our toes.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
Yeah, but the little image they pulled off her was
kind of familiar to the image that Tupac when he
was spitting at the camera. That's what I said, she
chatted her inner Tupac yesterday.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Yes, it's funny you said that. I put that in
the group chat yesterday. I had the picture waiting. All right,
but let's get the show cracking. When we come back
Front page News, Sessling figure Out will be joining us
and don't forget again. Next hour, Jada Pinkett Smith will

he will miss out on seven hundred and sixty nine
thousand dollars in salary, and he's being fined twenty five
thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Damn.

I mean, I mean that's a lot. That is still
a lot of money. I thought he would get like
three to five though, Yeah, and Nasal suspending Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Now, Rudy got fined twenty five thousand, and Klay Thomas
got fined twenty five.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I don't know why Clay got fined anything, because Clay
is the one that you know that the dude was
tussling with and he ripped his jersey.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It don't look like Clay was instigating that situation to me.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
And then football of Bengals take on the Ravens at
eight point fifteen.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Now, what are we starting off with? Tis?
Speaker 8 (04:44):

that don't know, the jury started deliberating on that case
on Monday in the federal trial, a former Louisville police
officer who was accused of violating Browonda Taylor's rights by
opening fire on her apartment the night she was killed
in the botch.

Take a listen to the report.
Speaker 10 (05:02):
The jury in this federal case went home for the night,
and after three days there is still no verdict. Now,
this is a much longer deliberation process compared to last
year's state trial against Brett Hankinson, when it took jurors
only three hours to acquit the former detective. Now this
jury is deciding whether Hankerson is guilty or not guilty
(05:24):
on two counts of civil rights violations for blindly firing
ten shots into Breonna Taylor's apartment during a police raid
in March of twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I mean, they should definitely win that civil rights case,
right I would think, so.
Speaker 8 (05:38):
Yeah, yeah, we're hoping so, you know, and again, just
as reminded as we heard the report, he was found
not guilty on the state side, so the federal the
federal side decided to take up these charges. So hoping
for you know, him to be found guilty in that
and they must be able to prove that he had
a sens of force and put innocent lives at risk
where a pregnant woman, her spouse and children were sleeping vio,
(06:00):
violating their constitutional rights. And to return a guilty verdict,
the jury must agree that he deprived the people in
both apartments of their constitutional rights and that he acted willfully. Uh.
They also are deciding if he used a dangerous weapon
and attempted to kill.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
So it's created that they have to determine excessive force, right,
and whether or not he used a dangerous weapon or
gun is not a dangerous weapon.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It's like somebody dies, Yeah, what we're talking about.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
And it's a good sign that well they say it's
a good scient typically a good sign when the jury,
you know, it's still deliberating in today, you know, three
or four, So hopefully we can get some news on
that by the end of the week. But you know,
to stay there as long as it takes for them
to argue and you know, sort through all the evidence
and hopefully return back a guilty a guilty bird verdict
for their family.

and let's get in some front page news Morning.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
Tesn dj in, Good morning, Besy baby.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Now let's start off for some quick sports.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
Draymond Green has been suspended for five games and he
will sat on seven hundred and sixty nine thousand dollars.
He's also being found twenty five thousand, Rudy Gobert twenty
five thousand, and Klay Thomas twenty five thousand.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Dropping the clues bombs with Draymond Green. Okay, my favorite
playing the NBA. All right, he ain't got no problem
putting hands on you for his people.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Nope, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
And tonight if football, the Ravens take on the Bengals
at eight point fifteen. Now let's jump right into it.
Let's so, Joe manchinha, yeah, Joe Manchin.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
I'm sure this won't be a surprise to many of you,
especially Charlot Magne and the god it says the inch
closer Wednesday took confirming he could run for president.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 20 (21:35):
Are you considering running for president?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I will do anything I can to help my country.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Is that a yes?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
And you're saying does that mean you would consider it? Absolutely?
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Every American should consider if they're in a position to
help save the country.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I think we're on the wrong course, so I will
do everything possible.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Joe Manson once again standing in the way of Joe
Biden and the Democratic Party making progress. If Joe Manchin
runs for president, you can add that to the long
list of things that he has blocked Joe Biden and
the Democratic Party from achieving.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
That's right, that's right, he added, that Biden's policies have
gone too far left, and he said he thinks they'll lose,
will lose democracy as we know it if Trump is elected.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
So he believes that he can go out and bring
the middle together.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
And basically, dude Charlemagne, who we knew he was doing
all along, which is why he did all of you know,
what he did before was showing that he is indeed
possibly what the real president.
Speaker 9 (22:24):
So now I guess he's going for it. He will
actually be running for president.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
I believe if he runs, I'm gonna hear him out,
you know what I mean, Like, I mean, the other
the other options we got are terrible, right, like the
Bidens and the Trumps of the world.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
So I'm gonna hear him out. Hear what you gotta say,
I mean, what you got to say. Let me see
if he's really one of these centrists like he he
claims to be.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
But he's a gangster, we know that for sure.
Speaker 13 (22:46):
So I hear him out.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
I'm interested in here what you gotta say too, you know.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
So he says he'll make a decision possibly before Super Tuesday.
So will I think he's gonna do it? You know,
I'm just guessing. I don't know, but this is typically
what they do. Say I'm gonna go around the country
and talk to you know, every day working Americans and
see where we are. And then he'll come out and say,
after a thought and prayer and consideration, I decided to run.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
You know how they do it so and I don't
want to hear none of y'all call him out now,
you know what I mean, Any of y'all in the
Democratic Party, don't try to throw somemood on Joe Manchin's
name now because you didn't when he was blocking everything out.
So when he starts running the president, don't come out
and tell us how bad he is. And I don't
want to hear it. I don't want to hear it
now because y'all have four years to tell us that
that's right now.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
Fack, let's talk about all these kids losing their Medicaid coverage.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
Yeah, just an important fact, just another reminder on why
children should be covered. In the United States of America,
at least two million children have lost their.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
Health care coverage since the end of the pandemic.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
They guaranteed medical coverage during the health emergency through November eighth,
A total of ten point one million Americans have been
disenrolled for Medicaid. The two million children who have lost
their health coverage representing twenty one states that break out
enrollmentch just by age, and it's likely an undercount because
data is still coming in. So just another reminder, how
(24:06):
I personally believe you know that, if nothing else, children
and elderly should have healthcare coverage in the United States
of America. So those who are out there are looking
for coverage, you know, hopefully they'll be able to get
some type of supplement or something to make sure these
kids are covered.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Absolutely agree, we all should, absolutely.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
Absolutely it should really be free for everybody, Medicare for all.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
But you know something they just can't get Congress too
agree on, but can they at least agree on it
for the children.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
So just wanted to make sure people knew that was
out there.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
All right, well, that is front page News, and make

Speaker 6 (24:48):
All right, now, when we come back, Jada Pinkett Smith
will be joining us. Of course, her book Worthy is
out right now and we're gonna kick it with us.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
It don't move. It's to Breakfast Club on Beet, the
Breakfast Club Morning.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
Everybody's the DJ n V. Charlamagne to God. We are
the Breakfast Club. You got a special guest in the building.
It's a special special yes, Jana Pinkett Smith.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Welcome, Thank you, thank you, thank you. How are you
feeling this morning?
Speaker 20 (25:14):
Feeling good?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
You're glowing, thank you.
Speaker 20 (25:18):
You know, life is good even in the chaos.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I mean, life is chaos.
Speaker 20 (25:23):
Yeah, that's what it is, you know what I'm saying.
So you just get in harmony with that.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
That's interesting, you said.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
I could always be wondering, like, yo, do are we
ever going to find peace on this planet? Or do
we just exist within the chaos? The caos is normal.
Speaker 21 (25:37):
Yeah, I think you know, just in my journey, I've
just been discovering that you kind of have to just
rise above it, right because the world is gonna be
what it's going to be.
Speaker 13 (25:49):
Right.
Speaker 21 (25:49):
I actually think that the world is a university, you know,
to teach us how to transcend it. Yeah, and so yeah,
you just you got to make peace East with what
this world is about. But I don't think that this
place is our sanctuary. I actually think, you know, ascending
it and going into more of the spiritual spiritual places,
(26:12):
you know, and just kind of understanding living your life
from there within the world.
Speaker 20 (26:17):
I mean, that's what they say, you know, be in it,
but not of it.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
You ever get tired of it?
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Though, because you've been on this on this tour for
a while, and you're very big on energy and vibrations,
and sometimes I'm sure the energy and vibrations have been
all over the place, but it seems like you've been
on tour, yeah, for a long time, you ever get
tired of it?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Like now, enough's enough?
Speaker 12 (26:35):
Now?
Speaker 21 (26:36):
I think that if I put myself in that frame
of mind and I just bring myself a level of discomfort,
that's not necessary, right, You just go It is what
it is.
Speaker 20 (26:47):
So how are you going to step up to the moment?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
And that's it?
Speaker 20 (26:52):
You know, that's just what it is. And so that
that's where I find my piece.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Since the release of this book, what is your ego
been telling you?
Speaker 21 (27:00):
Ego has been telling me to let go because it
takes a lot of courage to sin in your truth
takes a lot of courage. It takes a lot of
courage to be happy when you're walking through the world
and you're dismantling ideas, you know, you kind of have
(27:21):
to in that dismantle you just kind of have to
let go of everything that you thought you were, everything
that you're trying to be, and just flow right, just
let whatever is presenting itself.
Speaker 22 (27:37):
Just kind of be what it is, you know, but
you definitely gotta let go.
Speaker 21 (27:44):
So it's been a real test in regards to trust.
You know, just can't trust the ego in that way anymore.
Speaker 20 (27:54):
But you know, that's a process.
Speaker 22 (27:56):
So as I'm dismasting, so you go from one ego
state to the next.
Speaker 20 (27:59):
Right, So it just gets it just gets, it just
gets smaller, I guess, you know. But the ego is.
Speaker 22 (28:09):
Always going to be that. So you know, you just
kind of learned how to make friends with your ego and.
Speaker 20 (28:14):
Have it work for you in a different way, for
different purpose.
Speaker 8 (28:18):
Right.
Speaker 20 (28:19):
So that's what I'm working with right now.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
Has this truth helped your relationship with friends, family, and
even your marriage? Has this truth and all the things
that came out or did it make things worse?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Oh?
Speaker 20 (28:32):
No, see, I didn't.
Speaker 21 (28:34):
I didn't step into this, walk into my situation with
my friends, my family.
Speaker 20 (28:42):
As specifically, Will was tight.
Speaker 21 (28:46):
Right because I already knew how disruptive it was going
to be. So I had to make sure that my
inner circle was tight, right, so that we could walk
this together hand in hand, right. So it's actually, you know,
specifically for Will and I, it's definitely brought us closer.
Speaker 20 (29:05):
It's so funny how crisis.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Will do that, you know what I mean, Yeah, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 21 (29:11):
So that's the thing about Will and Ize, just like
we just learn more and more as we go that
this is what we were built to do, you know,
with each other, you know, and to walk together. And
you know, just like any long term relationship, it goes
through it's of course, you know, and so you gotta
(29:36):
take your time.
Speaker 20 (29:37):
I really had to grow emotionally.
Speaker 21 (29:40):
It hadn't realized how emotionally immature I was, you know
what I'm saying. And so that's the thing about long
term relationships that are fantastic if you can just hang
in there, because it's going to force you to step
your game up if you want to be happy, you know.
And so Will's been one of my greatest teachers on
(30:04):
my journey, you know, because I've been forced to have
to deal.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
With my stuff, you know what stuff because you said
you're immature. What immaturity do you see when you look
at yourself?
Speaker 21 (30:15):
Well, I would say, you know, seven years ago, just
when you're just hanging on to these romantic ideas of
what marriage should be, what your partner should be for you,
so that you don't have to be the thing for yourself,
like when you keep banging on somebody like, no, I
need you to show up this way because I need
(30:37):
to feel a certain way about myself. Right That in
itself is just like hold up, you want somebody else
to be something for you that you're not willing to.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Be for yourself. First of all, how do you call
that love?
Speaker 23 (30:50):
You know?
Speaker 21 (30:51):
And I had to like step away to really realize that,
you know, and so me get myself in alignment and
just realizing like, yo, Jada, you got a lot of
work to do, and then doing that work and then
being able to present myself with more of myself and
then being able to see Will as who he is
(31:12):
and just accept him and love him.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
There, that's what I think is lost, you know in
the book.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
If you haven't read the book, like you think all
the convos about Tupac and will distracted from what this
book really has to offer.
Speaker 20 (31:27):
Because I did, Yeah, and I knew that.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
I knew.
Speaker 21 (31:30):
I knew it was going to be a lot of distractions, right,
And I was like, hopefully this book will have legs
so that.
Speaker 22 (31:35):
Once all of the you know, the chatter dies down.
Speaker 21 (31:39):
We can get to the real components of the book. Now,
people who've actually read the book are on it, right.
They see that sony of healing.
Speaker 20 (31:48):
It's a journey of his.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
It's a journey of somebody trying to find their worthiness,
which is, you know, all of us have struggled with
that imposter syndrome, not feeling worthy. If you read the book,
you see somebody really laying it out in detail, the
journey to get to that place of workings.
Speaker 20 (32:03):
And it's a universal struggle.
Speaker 22 (32:05):
You know, we all do it in different ways, right,
but it's a universal struggle.
Speaker 21 (32:09):
And so yeah, that's I really wanted to lay that
out in the way that I did, especially once again
just dismantling these ideas of perfection, you know, because we
also have these societal romantic ideas of what somebody in
my position, what my.
Speaker 22 (32:30):
Life should look like, who I should be within.
Speaker 20 (32:33):
It, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 22 (32:34):
And it's like no, no, no, Like real life is
real life, no matter what station you sitting at.
Speaker 20 (32:39):
Period.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
You know, do you regret leading with a lot of
that stuff, leading with a lot of to talk about
will to talk about pop? Because you know those just
became sound bites and headlines on the internet, clips that
you know.
Speaker 20 (32:53):
It's so difficult because when.
Speaker 21 (32:56):
You're dealing with media, that's that's that's what people want
attach to. People not interested, you know, that's not the clickbait.
Speaker 20 (33:06):
The journey part of it.
Speaker 21 (33:07):
The clickbait is you know, the Tupac, the will you know,
So you got to kind of get past the clickbait
where people get exhausted with that and that dies down
and then people can get with the real But it's
hard to avoid it.
Speaker 20 (33:23):
Honestly, it's hard to avoid it.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
All right.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
We got more with Jada Pinket Smith. When we come back,
don't move, it's the Breakfast Club moving. Yeah, when back,
it's the Breakfast Club. DJ and V Charlamagne the God
and we're still kicking it with Jada Pinkett Smith her
book Worthy is out right.
Speaker 13 (33:36):
Now.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
We look at your life and we see the wedding,
we see the trips, we see all of that. When
did you realize and say, I need to fix this
because this isn't right with me.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
What was that moment?
Speaker 21 (33:47):
I would say that I got slammed up against a wall,
Probably when I was really confronted with some really heavy
suicidal thoughts, when I was looking for Cliff to drive over,
you know, so that my suicide would look like an
accident so my kids wouldn't think that I committed suicide.
Speaker 20 (34:08):
I did a plant medicine.
Speaker 21 (34:10):
Journeysa ayahuasca, I can't wait.
Speaker 22 (34:14):
Let me know where I got you.
Speaker 21 (34:18):
And that that was a real awakening for me, you know,
And I really had to be confronted with.
Speaker 22 (34:25):
My own shadow, my own self hatred, and it was
so strong and it was so scary.
Speaker 21 (34:31):
I was like, WHOA, I didn't I thought it was
I didn't even want to be with that, and I'm
like asking somebody else to contend with that. That was
the first moment that I realized, oh, Jada, you you
got some stuff to deal.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
With, and what got you to that?
Speaker 6 (34:46):
Point, because most people would look on the outside and
be like, you know, she's rich, she's a movie star.
She's stating another movie star, she has beautiful kids, your
mom is still there. Like it looks like to the outside,
the life is perfect. What in that perfect life on
the outside made you feel imperfect or made you not
feel like this is what I want.
Speaker 22 (35:06):
It was like dealing with the foundational wounds, right.
Speaker 21 (35:10):
I hadn't done, I hadn't double with And that's what
we most of us don't even know what our foundational
wounds are.
Speaker 22 (35:16):
We don't even know we're foundationally wounded.
Speaker 8 (35:20):
Right.
Speaker 21 (35:20):
And so it started a childhood you know, you got
two parents who are addicts and you're not the priority, right,
and then just the levels and just the trauma that
gets built upon what that environment it's like, right, And
I thought that making it would heal it all. You know,
(35:44):
success takes care of everything.
Speaker 20 (35:47):
Right, And then it was like, Okay, made it to Hollywood,
That's not it.
Speaker 21 (35:52):
And then I met this fantastic guy and I was
on this world win of romance with Will and I
was like, he's gonna fix it. You know what I'm saying,
He's gonna he is the Knight in shining Armor. He's
the Savior Prince, He's gonna fix it. So it went
from one false belief to the next. And I talk
about trying to check all the boxes.
Speaker 20 (36:13):
It's like, checked all the boxes.
Speaker 21 (36:17):
It's left right, and then having to realize, oh man,
oh yeah, you're not dealing with your stuff.
Speaker 20 (36:25):
That's what's left.
Speaker 21 (36:27):
So it just goes to show that we can have
all of these exterior things, you know, but that's not
the thing that's gonna heal the soul.
Speaker 13 (36:35):
You know.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
It's interesting because you know, when we used to watch
you Red Table Talk, people would be like, who is it, Jada,
Jada Pinket You take off the drug dealer, Jada a
drug dealer energy?
Speaker 1 (36:45):
You know, I never, I never when I when I
read that in the book, I was like, Jay the
Pinkett Smith was in the screens like that. But when
you walked in, I'm like, oh, I see it.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
I'm just trying to be comfortable. Sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
But when people used to watch the Red Table Talk,
they be like, who why is Jada Pinkett Smith an
expert and anything? But in the book, you refer to
yourself as you said, you're a pseudo pseudo guru. You said,
it's in the Feeling the Range chapter that you seem
to often set yourself up to fall off the edge
of high and mighty them.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
You admit at the time you didn't know, like why
talk to yourself like that?
Speaker 20 (37:28):
Well, because it's the truth, you know.
Speaker 21 (37:32):
And I think that when we're really on that game
of healing, like the person that you got to be
the most honest with is yourself, and a lot of
times that that could be that that could be the
most difficult when you really got to look at yourself
and realize, you know, where you thought you were something
(37:54):
and now you realize that you ain't.
Speaker 20 (37:56):
You know, And so yeah, you just got to learn
how to be deeply honest with yourself.
Speaker 21 (38:01):
And as I talk to myself that way, I can
also hug myself in saying that.
Speaker 6 (38:06):
You know, now you talk about love so much, and
you talk about how you felt at one time you
are against marriage, right?
Speaker 4 (38:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (38:14):
Is that because you seen your parents in their relationship?
What changed your mind?
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 21 (38:20):
I think that was really Like I got to see
my grandparents who both said to grandparents had a really
long lasting marriage, but.
Speaker 20 (38:31):
I wasn't quite sure that it was the pinnacle of happiness.
Speaker 21 (38:34):
And so you know, when you're young, you're a free spirit,
and I'm just like, no, I can do this different,
like because I want to be happy. I'm not quite
sure that's what happy is. Like, how can I be
in a relationship and be happy? You know, I was
all about the devotion of it, but I wasn't quite
sure that marriage was the thing, right. It wasn't until
(38:56):
maybe three years ago.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Three years ago, you've been married all this time?
Speaker 24 (39:08):
The biggest saying years ago, No, no, no, no, Not
that I wasn't happy, not that I wasn't happy, but
I got to see the power of marriage.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Three years ago.
Speaker 20 (39:21):
I got to see the power not even well yeah,
and no, right, I got.
Speaker 21 (39:28):
To see how marriage is a it is a holy
path for real, right, just in regards to learning about love,
because it takes a long time to break down all
the different false beliefs that we have about love, right,
(39:48):
and and the thing about holy matrimony. And it's not
to say that you're not going to go through some
unholy stuff, right, but when two people are committed and
just refuse to quit, what you can learn about yourself,
about your partner in about.
Speaker 20 (40:08):
Love in general.
Speaker 21 (40:11):
You can't really learn by going from one relationship to
the next looking for the honeymoon stage over and over again, right,
specifically if you're interested in learning about unconditional love, you know.
Speaker 20 (40:25):
And so I was like, oh, snap, this is what
it's about, you know.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
Years ago, But like, what was that moment three years ago?
Speaker 21 (40:36):
I would probably say, when we'll going through the process
of emancipation. And then once he finished emancipation and the
stuff that started coming up for him, right, and that's
when he was like, hey, can we get back into
(40:59):
some therapy together, and the stuff that was coming up
for him and the kind of conversations we were starting
to have.
Speaker 20 (41:08):
I was like, Okay, here we are.
Speaker 18 (41:12):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 21 (41:13):
I'm like, and everybody starts their journeys in different ways
at different times, you know what I'm saying. But that's
when I knew. I was like, okay, And then we
went to the oscars and that whole thing happened, and
it wasn't I didn't even think twice about it when
I saw what was happening, and I was like, I'm
(41:33):
not leaving this man's side.
Speaker 20 (41:36):
I'm not leaving this man's side.
Speaker 6 (41:38):
I will keep a lock. We got more with Jada
Pinkett Smith. Her book Worthy is out right now, so
don't move.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
It's the breakfast Club. Good Morning, Good morning.
Speaker 6 (41:44):
Everybody's DJ Envy Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Jada Pinkett Smith Charlomagne.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
You think, up until the point of three years ago,
do you think y'all had had just more of a
trauma bunk.
Speaker 20 (41:57):
I would say yes and no.
Speaker 21 (42:00):
I would say we had a trauma bond, and then
underneath of it there was this real deep friendship, this
spiritual bond too, because you can start breaking through your
trauma and start talking through your trauma. And if it's
just a trauma bond, once you start to heal and
you start going.
Speaker 20 (42:19):
Your separate ways, it's done.
Speaker 21 (42:21):
If it's just a trauma bond, right, But when you
can feel that that spiritual bind, once you're doing the healing,
and that spiritual bind is just yoking you tighter than
you know it something else.
Speaker 20 (42:38):
You know, and you really have to have the discernment
to know the difference.
Speaker 21 (42:43):
You know what I'm saying, because sometimes you do just
have a trauma bond with somebody and sometimes you just
got to get away, you know.
Speaker 20 (42:49):
What I'm saying, And so you got to really like
sit with yourself and have the discernment to know the difference.
Speaker 4 (42:57):
Now that's real, because sometimes you heal so much you
be like, man, look like nobody exactly.
Speaker 20 (43:03):
That's real talking, yeah, straight out, because that's what we do,
you know. It's like that.
Speaker 21 (43:09):
And that's part of it too, you know, And that's
part of why we have to have the courage because innately,
you know, once you start healing, a whole lot is
gonna change, you know.
Speaker 6 (43:19):
With the Oscar's situation, did that save your marriage? And
the reason I asked that is, you know, I've been
married twenty two years, Charloma has been married a long time.
But your wife will always be mad at you, right,
but you can't be mad at him. I could be
mad at him him down. Yeah, So did that save
your marriage?
Speaker 21 (43:39):
I would say what it definitely did is that it
accelerated what I think was already in the process. It
was in that moment that I knew. I was like,
oh no, no, no, no, no, no, We're gonna do
this together. I'm gonna be by your side, and I
(44:00):
know that I'll never I'll never leave your side, right because.
Speaker 20 (44:05):
It's funny because an emotional crisis, I didn't blink. I
didn't blink. And that's when I knew deep down inside,
I'm like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (44:21):
It's like and you there's no getting away from them.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
You've been trying, you know, really you don't want to
go nowhere?
Speaker 20 (44:28):
Stop it.
Speaker 21 (44:29):
And so was that incident that I knew right away, Yo,
we in it, And so that was it. But I
think that was the trajectory anyway. It just in an
instant solidified it.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
Yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 4 (44:44):
You know, if you know, if y'all have been separated
all of these years, if you read the book, you
realized that right, and Will never said anything about it.
Why did you feel now with the time to reveal
that information. Was it just to sell books like some
people think.
Speaker 20 (44:57):
Oh no, it's part of the process, you know.
Speaker 14 (45:00):
It was part of like.
Speaker 20 (45:03):
Part of my self.
Speaker 21 (45:06):
Worth journey, like I had to really I was leaning
on Will in a lot of ways. And I think
for women specifically, how a lot of times.
Speaker 20 (45:19):
Our relationships are used to identify us, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 21 (45:27):
And so I thought that was a really important process
and so much a really important thing to talk about
because so much of my journey happened in that time
when it was just me, you know, and I think that,
(45:48):
and I also wanted people to realize that sometimes marriages
go through breaks like that, you know. And for people
out there who are thinking about, yo, should I get separated?
Speaker 20 (46:01):
Should I, you know, get a divorce, I'm like, man,
just take time for you.
Speaker 21 (46:05):
Have the courage if you got the courage to sign
divorce papers or you know, go to lawyers and get
just have the courage to figure out how to just
take time for you and then see see what's showing
up for you, right, Because sometimes divorce is the answer.
Sometimes leave goal separation is the answer. But first and foremost,
(46:29):
just take a year. Take a year, see what shows up,
you know, before you start going into like all these
other processes. Because sometimes we can act so quickly out
of anger and frustration and we just want to get away,
and we think that's the answer, you know, and in
some cases it is, but in some cases it's not.
Speaker 6 (46:49):
How do you feel when you talk about the truth, right,
and you say a big reason of this book is
you can help other people other marriage, other couples that
are dealing with it and don't know how to express
it because they've never seen it right, And the press
and the public says, you know, Jada is embarrassing. Well,
and you just said you were doing it because you
wanted to live in your truth. So what do you
say to those people that thought that it was just embarrassing,
(47:12):
embarrassing Will and dehumanizing him, and take it and take
it as his masculine I.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
Want to quote Anna Navarro of the view, she said,
you are masculating and embarrassing Will.
Speaker 21 (47:22):
Oh, well, I think if she took time to read
the book, you know, I think that if you want
to just read headlines, I could see how that could
be confusing.
Speaker 20 (47:35):
But the book is right here, and you have two
books you can read.
Speaker 21 (47:37):
Actually, you can read my book and Will's book, which
is so great that a lot of people are doing that,
you know.
Speaker 20 (47:43):
But people have the right to their opinions.
Speaker 21 (47:47):
And I always know that anybody who's saying that hasn't
really done their homework.
Speaker 20 (47:53):
But you got to expect it too, because of what
the headlines are. You know what clickbait is, so Will
knows what it is.
Speaker 5 (48:04):
I know what it is.
Speaker 21 (48:05):
My kids know what it is, and more importantly, Great
Supreme does too, right, And so that's really that's really
all I'm concerned with.
Speaker 6 (48:15):
At the end of the day, when Will was up here,
he talked about being insecure a little bit about Tupac.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
Did y'all ever have that conversation?
Speaker 6 (48:23):
Because as a man, when you're a little insecure, I
almost feel like you play both sides. You want to
be yourself, but you want to show that you're better
than the person that's making him insecure. You're tougher than,
or smarter than, or more romantic than, or a poet
then a better rapper than. Did y'all ever have that conversation?
Speaker 21 (48:42):
I wouldn't say that we had conversations in that way.
It was just like, you know, we came up in
the era where it was so unusual for a man
and a woman to be friends.
Speaker 10 (48:55):
Right.
Speaker 21 (48:55):
Let mean really think about it, like that's more of
an open idea now.
Speaker 20 (49:00):
Right, but just think in our era that was just
like friends.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
They had to be dat like what what what?
Speaker 17 (49:07):
Right?
Speaker 21 (49:07):
And so I think for him it was just like
getting your mind around around that, you know, and that
the kind of friendship that we had because we had
such a you know, tight friendship that you know, it
was very impactful on my life, you know. So I
(49:30):
think it was just getting the understanding around that Tupac
and Eye could be friends, you know, and that that
that he was a part of my life in that way.
And so just we had a lot of conversations around
just those ideas.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
How did he get over that?
Speaker 20 (49:49):
I think he just realized that.
Speaker 21 (49:52):
And I really can't speak for will you shuld probably
ask him when he comes back, but I think he
just realized that that's what it was, you know what
I mean, it was like, that's.
Speaker 18 (50:00):
What it was.
Speaker 20 (50:01):
It's like, you know, that was that beautiful friendship.
Speaker 21 (50:04):
And I think once he really and started as he
got older, started having his own friendships with women, like, oh,
that that is possible.
Speaker 13 (50:14):
How are you with that?
Speaker 20 (50:15):
I listen, I always told will you need some female friends?
Speaker 1 (50:19):
Did you yes?
Speaker 3 (50:20):
Because I think I think I think.
Speaker 20 (50:22):
Men and women.
Speaker 21 (50:24):
I think men do need female friends because and women
need male friends. And I actually think men once they
have daughters.
Speaker 1 (50:33):
I got four, I got four, and you got four daughters.
Speaker 21 (50:37):
And but I see I would now let me ask
you a question, would you say that having daughters helped
you understand and see that. I think that's what happened
to will I think once Willow came, you know, and
then he started to realize a different relationship with the feminine, right,
(50:59):
and then he realize, oh, wow, you know you can
have relationships with women that are non sexual or however,
y'all have to you know, manage that in your own minds.
Speaker 2 (51:10):
Right.
Speaker 21 (51:11):
I think once Willow came, she was his teacher on
that for sure, and so he was able to have
female friends.
Speaker 6 (51:17):
I will keep a lock. We got more with Jada
Pinkett Smith. Her book Worthy is out right now, So
don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning, where back,
It's the Breakfast Club DJ n V. Charlamagne the God
and we're still kicking it with Jada Pinkett Smith. Her
book Worthy is out right now.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
Charlamagne in the No Soccer Mom chapter A, right, you
shoot down every rumor there's ever been about y'all that
y'all are swingers, that y'all were both gay and playing
each other's bids, that y'all was sleeping with whomever you choose. Yeah,
how does it feel in twenty twenty three to still
have those same rumors out about people you love, like
Willan Dwinn.
Speaker 1 (51:48):
I know that just came out too recently.
Speaker 21 (51:50):
Yeah, you know, And let me just say this, it's ridiculous, right,
and it's nonsense. And this is a person that tried
a shakedown, a money shakedown that didn't work. We're gonna
take legal action because it's one thing to have your
opinion about somebody versus just making up salacious, malicious stories.
(52:18):
So that's actionable. So we're gonna roll with that, you
know what I mean, it's not true. We're gonna take
care of it.
Speaker 1 (52:27):
And that's that it was a money shakedown, yea.
Speaker 21 (52:32):
Well, it's it's based around this person's idea that they
in some way were doing business around Will's book and
that they spent money or what have you, and that
they needed to be compensated. So he already tried to
do this money shakedown. Will was willing to give him
(52:54):
a certain amount or what have you, and he didn't
take it.
Speaker 22 (52:56):
So this whole situation is based on that give him
a certain amount while though.
Speaker 21 (53:01):
Just well because of some business that they had and
I don't know the complete details about it, but that's
about to come out because, like I told you about
to take legal action, you should.
Speaker 20 (53:11):
Yeah, no, we are for sure.
Speaker 1 (53:13):
I was asking, how is Will dealing with it? You know,
with oh, release a statement.
Speaker 8 (53:19):
Will.
Speaker 21 (53:21):
Here's the one good thing about Will. Will's always gonna
find the funny.
Speaker 20 (53:24):
I figured that, Ye kid's always gonna find the funny,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (53:29):
And so after the murder, murder, kill kill.
Speaker 20 (53:32):
Yeah, you have to.
Speaker 22 (53:35):
You have to because it's absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 20 (53:40):
You know what I'm saying. And so all you have
is you just got to laugh about it, you know.
And it's unfortunate because.
Speaker 1 (53:47):
Did he ask you, like, do I look like I
give off bottom?
Speaker 20 (53:51):
He was like do you believe it?
Speaker 17 (53:53):
You know?
Speaker 20 (53:53):
But we just laughed about it.
Speaker 4 (53:55):
Got to ask about Tyresee. Now, there was a rumor
that Tyree called you. Oh, he said he called you
on the phone. He was he was, he was on med,
he was out of it. Yeah, and he told you
I ain't no killer, Jada, I ain't no killer, but
don't push me. Oh, things like the sweetest joy that's
getting I don't know why he's.
Speaker 25 (54:14):
So.
Speaker 21 (54:15):
Tyrese did call me, for sure, and he was he
was definitely in a in a state, and I was
really concerned, you know, and I'm just called.
Speaker 1 (54:29):
Though he said he said him and Charlie Max said,
he quoted Tupac.
Speaker 20 (54:33):
He called Tupac.
Speaker 1 (54:34):
No, he said, he called you and quoted Tupac.
Speaker 14 (54:36):
He may have.
Speaker 21 (54:37):
Let me tell you something. I was so worried at
that time when he made that call about his his state,
because it was really deeply concerned that I don't I
couldn't even tell you exactly what happened because I'm trying
(54:57):
to think about who I can get there, Who can
I get in the house, how can I get him help? Yeah,
And so that I was, I was in I was,
I was a little panicked, you know, to just make
sure that he was okay and that nothing was gonna happen,
(55:18):
he wasn't gonna hurt himself or anybody else. So that
I couldn't even I don't even remember what he said,
what he said.
Speaker 4 (55:27):
I want to talk about the book and a debate
I had at dinner a couple of weeks ago with
some friends because in the book, you say that you
and Will decided to separate in every way except legally. Yeah,
and y'all would have complete transparency, no secrets about what
y'all were doing, in whom y'all were doing it with, right,
And the debate we were having was or early in
the books, you said that they've never been in an
(55:48):
open relationship, But isn't that an open relationship?
Speaker 20 (55:50):
Well, here's the difference between that.
Speaker 21 (55:52):
That's when you're you're in an open relationship and you
are still intimate with each other.
Speaker 20 (56:00):
Right, at that point, we went our separate ways.
Speaker 21 (56:03):
So it's as if we are divorced, separated and just
trying to figure out how we're going to go about it.
But at that particular point in time, we were no
longer relating in that way, right, because for us, it
was over.
Speaker 20 (56:23):
It was done. So if you're in an.
Speaker 21 (56:25):
Open relationship, that means that you are still in a
relationship with one another romantically.
Speaker 20 (56:33):
And you are okay with being with other people romantically.
Speaker 21 (56:37):
Yated, we were separated, like done done, done, done done.
Speaker 1 (56:43):
Why did you choose not to say August's name in
the book?
Speaker 21 (56:48):
Really just to I felt like he's been through enough,
you know what I mean? And I just wanted to
be respectful in that manner.
Speaker 1 (56:58):
I really did. Do you feel like that's something that
you need to heal like that situation.
Speaker 21 (57:04):
I'm hoping at some point, you know, I'm definitely hoping
at some point for sure.
Speaker 4 (57:10):
Yeah, I want to ask you too, if you pick
a crew to run with in real life, would you
choose between the cast or set it off?
Speaker 1 (57:17):
For the cast of girls? Set it off?
Speaker 22 (57:20):
Oh that's a hard one, Damn Charlamagne, that's a hard one.
Speaker 6 (57:25):
Set it off.
Speaker 20 (57:26):
It was Rioters, they were ters, for sure.
Speaker 21 (57:30):
But you know both crews they got, you know, they
got something real special. Yeah, I'm gonna plead the fifth
on that.
Speaker 4 (57:39):
I only got two more questions, like, when you having
these conversations now, how do you know in your words
that this isn't the pseudo guru using rationale and borrowed
wisdom to tell.
Speaker 1 (57:50):
You what you want to hear?
Speaker 22 (57:54):
Because it sits so beautifully in my heart.
Speaker 21 (57:58):
Now, what I will say about it, that is, that's
why you gotta always stay open because as we continue
to grow and learn, you know, it's Bruce Lee said,
it best be like water. You know what I mean,
Because that's where I'm sitting right now.
Speaker 20 (58:17):
Who knows when I come back, If you know.
Speaker 21 (58:19):
What it'll be then because we just gotta stay open,
we gotta stay fluid.
Speaker 20 (58:23):
But for now, it's what speaks to me deeply, you know,
And that's all we got, you know, for the moment.
Speaker 4 (58:33):
My last question, and it's a quote, And the quote
is other people's opinion to you, whether it's good or bad,
should not be ground And what you base your self worth,
your value is inherent within you.
Speaker 1 (58:43):
What matters the most is whether you know you are worthy.
So do you know you're worthy?
Speaker 20 (58:48):
Absolutely? And you know what it really comes from.
Speaker 21 (58:52):
And I wanted to say this in regards to the
question you asked about self worth really dealing with self judgment, Like,
once we can cure our self judgment in a certain manner, right,
people's opinion about you can only affect you if you
(59:12):
believe it, you know what I mean. Once you really
know who you are, once you really know your self worth,
anything that anybody else has to say about you really
can't affect you, you know. And so you know, I
know how much work it's taken for me to get
to know myself. I can't expect anybody else to know
(59:34):
me like that, you know what I mean? So I
have to be willing and accept whatever opinions come my way.
Speaker 1 (59:43):
I get it. Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (59:46):
Yeah, gentlemen, thank you.
Speaker 1 (59:53):
This was beautiful.
Speaker 6 (59:54):
The book worthy is out right now. Make sure you
get it and thank you.
Speaker 20 (59:58):
No, I won't not at all.
Speaker 6 (01:00:00):
It's the Breakfast Cloud, It's Jada Pika Smith.
Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.
Speaker 5 (01:00:07):
I was donkey up to day.
Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Damn he hogged. It's time for donkey the d I
ain't trying to be donkey today no more. They should
be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making
these people do these days called Donkey of the Day,
and it really caught me off guard.
Speaker 8 (01:00:25):
Damn charlamagn who got the donkey out the day today?
Speaker 5 (01:00:29):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
Jess hilarious.
Speaker 4 (01:00:30):
Donkey Today for Thursday, November sixteenth goes to thirty five
year old Joseph Halder. I think I say pronounce his
name of a volunteer firefighter from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
This is one of those ones that caused me to
reflect a little. And in my reflection I thought to myself,
I wonder if humans are as insane as Donkey of
the Day makes them out to be, maybe I need
to give humans the benefit of the doubt. Boor and say, hey,
(01:00:52):
it's just me. You're the guy who does Donkey of
to day, so you choose to seek out this crazy
every day. And since I choose to seek this crazy
every day, I attracted crazy by way of stories. Okay,
people send me these things and I read them and
I can't believe them. So I read them again and
I still can't believe them. Then I check out the
sauces to make sure that these stories are real because
I don't believe them. And every morning we end up here,
(01:01:15):
same donkey time, same donkey channel, and today is really
no exception. Salute to all the public servants out there,
all the individuals who realize that your true purpose in
life is service to others, dropping the clues bombs for
those individuals. I told you, Joseph, it is a volunteer
filler for firefighter. Volunteer firefighters are absolutely public servants. Being
a volunteer firefighter is absolutely an active service. But do
(01:01:36):
you ever think to yourself, well, what if you're a
firefighter and there's nothing to do, nobody to serve. What
if you're a firefighter and there's no fires to fight
because there is no fires? Have you ever thought about
that well, Joseph has and you also had a solution.
Let's go to WSB channel two for the report.
Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
Police.
Speaker 14 (01:01:54):
It was the third such structured fighter in the area
in a short amount of time, which by self is
kind of suspicious.
Speaker 26 (01:02:01):
A volunteer firefighter for the Whitefish Township Fire Department was
officially charged today for setting a building on fire Saturday night.
Joseph Halder was a firefighter on the department for only
a few months. Today he stepped in front of a
judge for arson. Halder is accused of setting fire to
the building that used to house Ruth's Gift Shop in
downtown Paradise. Chipwall County Sheriff Mike Bittner was on the
(01:02:25):
scene moments after the call came in. He immediately looked
over surveillance footage from a gas station across the street.
A short time later, deputies arrested Halder while he was
fighting the fire. Helder is charged with third degree arson.
He's facing ten years in prison and a twenty thousand
dollars fine.
Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
Only you can prevent firefighters, firefires. What am I trying
to say? Forest fires?
Speaker 17 (01:02:48):
Here?
Speaker 6 (01:02:48):
You go, okay, firefighters, right, Well, that's right.
Speaker 4 (01:02:52):
Only you can prevent farest fires. And you know how
you prevent them by not starting them yourself? Okay, starting
in my life. This is a literal, physical, tangible example
of what self destruction looks like. See when you start
going to therapy right and doing the work on yourself
and start healing some of these traumas, when you get
to the place in your life where you know you
start feeling pockets to peace, when you start feeling genuine happiness,
(01:03:13):
when you feel.
Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
Joy, you will find a way to start a fire.
Speaker 12 (01:03:16):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:03:17):
This man started a fire and then showed up to
put out the fire that he helped start.
Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
I promise you this is the version of me that
I run from.
Speaker 4 (01:03:24):
I don't want to start any fires, especially when things
are peaceful. When things are peaceful, I want them to
remain peaceful. I don't want to go grab a canister
something flammable, some fire and set things aflame just because
I'm not used to peace. This man, Joseph, was looking
for chaos. He was working with the fire department for
just a few months, and he wanted action so much
so that he started a fire himself and then went
(01:03:46):
to help.
Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
Put it out.
Speaker 4 (01:03:48):
I know people like this, right, now in corporate America.
I know people like this right now in my life.
They will create a problem themselves just so they can have.
Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
Something to do, just so they have some to fix.
Speaker 4 (01:04:00):
Let me tell you something, when you have to do
things like that in order to feel like you did something,
then you need to do some internal work on yourself,
because that don't make any damn sense.
Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
All right.
Speaker 4 (01:04:09):
Paul Sloan says, the innovative leader has to be an
arsonist and a firefighter. But I don't think he meant
that literally, Okay, Nor josephs Through, I believe you are
an innovative leader. And did you know that roughly it's
a fun little snap effect. Roughly one hundred firefighters are
convicted of arson each year.
Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
It's called firefighter arson. True story.
Speaker 4 (01:04:27):
There is a very small minority of firefighters who are
also active arsonists. And guess what they say motivates these
people boredom okay, are by the prospect of receiving attention
for responding to the fires. They have said, sound familiar, Okay,
I told y'all earlier this week, I don't mind as
the devil's workshop. These folks really don't be having anything
(01:04:48):
to do This is truly the era that has everything
and absolutely nothing all at once. And that is because
the things you all crave aren't real. You got all
these followers on social media, but no real connection to nobody.
Your log on every day to a community that's not
even a real community. You're seeking validation and attention and
(01:05:09):
likes and retweets and engagement. None of it is real,
and that's why you're bored and you resort to doing
dumb snicker doodles.
Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
That's a bet edit like Joseph did.
Speaker 4 (01:05:18):
Now Joseph is facing up to ten years in prison
and a twenty thousand dollars fine, and he's a person
of interest and at least two other fires in the area.
Some donkey today is just sell themselves. Please let me
remind give Joseph Handler the biggest he.
Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
Huh hee ha he ha.
Speaker 3 (01:05:33):
You stupid motherfucker?
Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
Are you dumb?
Speaker 4 (01:05:36):
I can't believe you'll be doing this snicker doodles? And
don't be Joseph Hadler. Okay, don't start a fire just
to have something to do. Not only that, there's some
of us who will set ourselves on fire to keep
others warm. That means you put other people's knees in
front of your own. You do know that's not sustainable, right, okay,
just so we're clear, all right, Well, thank you for
(01:05:56):
that donkey today, sir.
Speaker 6 (01:05:58):
Now when we come back, well first be et will
see them all piece be et now when we come back.
Jada Pickett Smith, she was on the show Last Home.
We spoke to her for what over an hour?
Speaker 1 (01:06:09):
H sure? Yeah, we spoke to her for over whole
conversation is on YouTube, by the way. Yeah, you cans
into it right now, watch it right now.
Speaker 6 (01:06:15):
She talked about in relationships and in marriages, having friends
with the opposite sex, and this.
Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
Is what she actually said.
Speaker 6 (01:06:23):
When Will was up here, he talked about being insecure
a little bit about Tupac. Did y'all ever have that conversation?
Because as a man, when you're a little insecure, I
almost feel like you play both sides. You want to
be yourself, but you want to show that you're better
than the person that's making him insecured. Did y'all ever
have that conversation?
Speaker 20 (01:06:41):
I wouldn't say that we had conversations in that way.
Speaker 21 (01:06:44):
It was just like, you know, we came up in
the era where it was so unusual for a man
and a woman to be friends.
Speaker 20 (01:06:53):
In our era, that was just like friends, they had
to be dating. Yeah, like what what right?
Speaker 21 (01:06:58):
And so I think for him it was just like
getting your mind around around that, you know, and that
the kind of friendship that we had, because we had
such a you know, tight friendship that you know, was
very impactful on my life.
Speaker 6 (01:07:20):
All right, So let's discuss eight hundred and five eight
five one oh five to one. When you're in a relationship,
is it okay for your spouse or your significant other
to have friends of the opposite sex, not.
Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
Even just in marriage, but in life.
Speaker 4 (01:07:33):
You can have platonic friendships like I got wave of
homegirls and I got homeboys, and a lot of times
a lot of these people are grandfathered in, like you know,
y'all been friends forever, you know what I mean. And
another thing Jada said during that conversation, she was like,
she didn't say, you know, we're not talking about new people,
talking about people that have been around for a long time.
Speaker 7 (01:07:52):
And it kind of helps you too, like in your
relationship to have friends that are of the opposite sex.
So when you vent or not telling them, you're you know,
personal business. But when you tell them what's going on,
they give you a perspective that your significant other might
have and kind of balance it out.
Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
You don't have a whole lot of yes men about yo.
I feel you, bro, No, I don't feel you.
Speaker 6 (01:08:10):
You messed up or it can hurt you know, Like
Charlemagne said, no new friends, no new people coming around.
If that, if the individual is a new then we
all friends. Right, we all speak, but it ain't.
Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
It ain't a.
Speaker 6 (01:08:21):
Situation where you just speak to my wife or I
just speak to her. No, no, no, no, We all friends, but.
Speaker 7 (01:08:27):
Even even old friendships should still be We all friends.
Speaker 1 (01:08:31):
Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:08:32):
Yeah, So let's discuss eight hundred and five eight five
one oh five one. What are your thoughts? Phone lines
wide open. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 13 (01:08:46):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
It's topic time.
Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one to
join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (01:08:54):
More than everybody.
Speaker 6 (01:08:55):
It's dj en V Charlemagne, the God. We are the
Breakfast Club. Now if you just joining us, we're talking
about Jada Pinkins Smith.
Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
She was on the show earlier.
Speaker 6 (01:09:03):
By the way, we have our guest co host, Easy
baby with us this morning as well, and we were
talking about in relationships, marriages or whatever it may be
your significant other, having a friend of the opposite sex. Now,
this is what Jada Pinkinsmith said when we was up here.
He talked about being insecure a little bit about Tupac.
Did y'all ever have that conversation? Because as a man,
(01:09:25):
when you're a little insecure, I almost feel like you
play both sides. You want to be yourself, but you
want to show that you're better than the person that's
making him insecured. Did y'all ever have that conversation?
Speaker 20 (01:09:35):
I wouldn't say that we had conversations in that way.
Speaker 21 (01:09:38):
It was just like, you know, we came up in
the era where it was so unusual for a man
and a woman to be friends.
Speaker 20 (01:09:47):
In our era, that was just like friends.
Speaker 1 (01:09:49):
They had to be dating.
Speaker 20 (01:09:50):
Yeah, like what what right?
Speaker 21 (01:09:52):
And so I think for him it was just like
getting your mind around a around that, you know, and
that the kind of friendship that we had because we
had such a you know, tight friendship that you know,
it was very impactful on my life.
Speaker 6 (01:10:13):
All right, let's discuss what are your thoughts that start
with you?
Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
Baby?
Speaker 3 (01:10:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (01:10:17):
I feel like relationships with the opposite sex are necessary,
Like how can you just be in this world and
just be around people that have the same private parts
you have? You're gonna you may streamline your thinking, you
can't really get opposed you know, feelings or thoughts.
Speaker 3 (01:10:33):
So I think it's necessary.
Speaker 7 (01:10:34):
But I think you also have to have respect for
your partner, Like I would marry somebody that didn't trust
me in a room without them. So you gotta trust
that I'm gonna put you first, and I'm gonna honor
the vows that I made to you, and that you
know I'm not gonna put nobody in our circle that
could threaten what we got.
Speaker 6 (01:10:49):
So yeah, and in my relationship with me and my wife,
we don't really trust too many people. So for us,
it has to be mutual friends, right, meaning you know,
we meet them together and not like not like Charlomage
said earlier, like I can't just meet you at the
grocery store and now we're friends, and it's not going
to be like that. It has to be some type
of establishment, and my wife has to approve, and with her,
(01:11:10):
I have to approve. Outside of that, No, we're not
taking on new friends, and we it has to be
our friends, Like I mean, I should be able to
call that person like you should be able to call
that person. It should be a cohesive type of situation.
Speaker 1 (01:11:23):
Charlamagne. Yeah, I never even think about it until this
discussion comes up.
Speaker 4 (01:11:27):
I got mad homegirls, right, yeah, my homegirls and my
wives friends too.
Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
In fact, they probably like her more than they like me.
Speaker 6 (01:11:35):
Everybody does, like, so I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:11:37):
Even like this discussion is like very it's silly to me,
it's immature.
Speaker 4 (01:11:41):
You know, a lot of people feel that way because
sometimes they got insecurities and they immature, or it's.
Speaker 6 (01:11:46):
New friends, and sometimes people are not around for the
right reason. And we know this, and I know especially
and I hate to say this, a lot of fellas
sometimes will try to befriend your girl, not because they
want to be a friend, your girl's friend, they want
to smash Well.
Speaker 4 (01:11:59):
I'm never trying to befriend nobody. I'm never trying to
befriend a man's girl. Like that's not happening.
Speaker 1 (01:12:04):
Like people do that.
Speaker 4 (01:12:05):
There's reasons why, you know, either your friends or your
friends or even these new people who may come into
your life, y'all, might work together, you know what I mean,
y'all might be doing projects together.
Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
Like anytime I'm gonna be spending time.
Speaker 4 (01:12:18):
With anyone, my wife is gonna know who that person is,
you know what I mean, whether it's a man or
a woman. Hey, we're doing such and such with this individual,
or hey, we're all going out to dinner. We're all
going My wife is gonna be to everybody like, there's
no woman in my life that's my friend, that ain't
out wife.
Speaker 7 (01:12:34):
And a lot of people are taking like teenage drama
into big age relationships, Like you know, you had to
worry about this stuff in high school. People break up
and get together with a new person next week. It's
really not the same when you're forty.
Speaker 4 (01:12:46):
If you can't have a platonic relationship with somebody from
the opposite sex, something wrong with you.
Speaker 23 (01:12:50):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
Let's go to the phone lines. We have dupre on
the line.
Speaker 18 (01:12:53):
Dupre man, what's the djella money?
Speaker 1 (01:12:56):
And I guess, busy baby, what's up? Dupree talk to us?
Speaker 18 (01:12:59):
Dupre so I was I was listening for what Jedi
was talking about. I definitely got female friends. I don't
really hang out with dudes. And my baby mama who's
now my fiance. She don't really be liking it.
Speaker 13 (01:13:09):
She's jealous and.
Speaker 14 (01:13:10):
Stuff like that.
Speaker 11 (01:13:11):
There and they just had a party and I'm like,
and I'm trying to go to the party.
Speaker 18 (01:13:14):
She's like, no, you ain't going.
Speaker 11 (01:13:15):
They be working and stuff, and I'm like, gonna meet it.
Speaker 6 (01:13:18):
Yeah, but why would you bring your baby mama there?
Why would you bring what you?
Speaker 14 (01:13:23):
So when they hit me with the invite, I'm like,
since we just got to get it, I'm like, man,
I know she gonna want to come, and they was like,
that's cool, she could come, but she still was do
some type of ways. So I'm like, man, whatever, I
end up not going, like I just want to sleep.
Speaker 13 (01:13:36):
I wake up in the morning and.
Speaker 14 (01:13:37):
Looked on social media.
Speaker 18 (01:13:38):
They definitely was working, so it was just.
Speaker 11 (01:13:40):
Like after they do though, I like getting around me
shout out to the homegirls, man for real, for real.
Speaker 7 (01:13:45):
But if if you had included her in that friendship
from the beginning, it wouldn't have been.
Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
Days working, it would have been weeds working.
Speaker 20 (01:13:51):
It would have been a.
Speaker 11 (01:13:52):
Home But I was always then made her friends though,
so like I can understand like them mad with your
friends that you ain't gonna really want to around them
girls because you don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:14:01):
But hold that bright. You supposed to be the bridge
between that though.
Speaker 7 (01:14:05):
You supposed to be the bridge between your friends and
your girlfriend, and that that should have already been better
than it is.
Speaker 11 (01:14:10):
I would say for the most part, she was cool
with something like, you know, that's on you not I
wanted to come around. You could have came around.
Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
Even when you cool.
Speaker 6 (01:14:19):
You was like I got the invitation. You was like, damn,
you know my wife gonna you know, you know I
have to bring her. You didn't say, you didn't make
it seem like she was invited to.
Speaker 5 (01:14:29):
Her friends be kicking it.
Speaker 13 (01:14:30):
I ain't chilling with this, you know what I mean?
Speaker 11 (01:14:32):
You go with your friends. These are my friends.
Speaker 5 (01:14:34):
This is who I grew up with.
Speaker 11 (01:14:35):
I've been knowing them to seventh.
Speaker 5 (01:14:36):
Grade, you know what I mean.
Speaker 11 (01:14:36):
We're thirty years old now. So it's like at any
point in time you like, oh, yeah, i've been I've
been knew there was your homegirls.
Speaker 5 (01:14:43):
I'm just gonna hang with y'all.
Speaker 11 (01:14:43):
I don't have plenty of girls. I'm kicking it with y'all,
you know what I mean. But that's on you to
choose felt some type of way you never want.
Speaker 10 (01:14:50):
To come na.
Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
Like BZ said, you gotta be the bridge bro like you.
Speaker 4 (01:14:57):
And if those are really your friends, they gonna absolutely
not only want to meet your fiance, they don't want
to accept her and embrace her as a friend too.
Speaker 6 (01:15:04):
Hello who's this Yanni?
Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
Hey, Yanni, good morning to talk to us like the egg, no,
like the pi and not the tis.
Speaker 5 (01:15:14):
What All right? Go ahead?
Speaker 10 (01:15:17):
Yanni?
Speaker 15 (01:15:18):
Okay, Okay, So my take on this is like, I'm
I'm a girl that have really don't have many female
friends because just acts funny sometimes. But I believe like
you guys are saying, if you have a friend that
you've had for a long time, then everyone should be
friends and everyone should be comfortable with it. For a girl,
(01:15:39):
it's easy to have dudes as friends because they're gonna think,
I know how I get down. They're gonna think one
day maybe it might happen, but they're gonna still continue
to be loyal.
Speaker 18 (01:15:48):
I think when the dude.
Speaker 15 (01:15:49):
Has a female friend, they be It's more like if
he ify even if you get to know them, because
I don't know I'm a female, I don't know how
females get down, So I wouldn't be really comfortable with that.
But on my part, I was I wouldn't have a
bottom with having my dude friends and that was my dude.
Speaker 13 (01:16:05):
You know.
Speaker 7 (01:16:06):
So you are right with it because you feel like
you can control whether or not it goes down because
you know you're giving them access or you're denying access.
But when it comes to your man, you feel like
he can't control himself. He just if they open it up,
he just diving in.
Speaker 15 (01:16:20):
Well I'm not saying totally, but you know, I mean personally,
I just feel like guys got that little extra okay
maybe or you know, let it get a little too closed,
you know, withisper in his ears are like, nah, we're
not doing that.
Speaker 5 (01:16:33):
So no Oka.
Speaker 6 (01:16:34):
Thank you, Yanni eight hundred and five eight five one
oh five one. If you're just joining us, we're talking
about Jada Pink Smith. Something she said during our interview
about uh, men having women friends and women having men friends.
We'll discuss when we come back as the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
Good morning, it's topic time.
Speaker 3 (01:16:52):
The phone.
Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
Called eight hundred and five eight five five one to
join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club talking.
Speaker 1 (01:16:59):
About it wearing everybody.
Speaker 6 (01:17:01):
It's DJ Envy, CHARLAMAGNEA God. We are to Breakfast Club
now if you're just joining us. Jada Pinkett Smith was
here last hour. We were talking about men having women
friends and women having men friends, and this is how
a conversation started. When we was up here, he talked
about being insecure a little bit about Tupac. Did y'all
ever have that conversation? Because as a man, when you're
(01:17:23):
a little insecure, I almost feel like you play both sides.
You want to be yourself, but you want to show
that you're better than the person that's making him insecure.
Did y'all ever have that conversation?
Speaker 20 (01:17:32):
I wouldn't say that we had conversations in that way.
Speaker 21 (01:17:35):
It was just like, you know, we came up in
the era where it was so unusual for a man
and a woman to be friends.
Speaker 20 (01:17:44):
In our era, that was just like friends.
Speaker 1 (01:17:47):
They had to be dating.
Speaker 20 (01:17:48):
Yeah, like what what?
Speaker 17 (01:17:49):
Right?
Speaker 21 (01:17:50):
And so I think for him it was just like
getting your mind around around that, you know, and that
the kind of friendship that we had because we had
such a you know, tight friendship that you know.
Speaker 20 (01:18:09):
Was very impactful on my life.
Speaker 6 (01:18:11):
So we're asking eight hundred five eighty five one oh
five to one, what are your thoughts now? Beasy Baby,
as our guest co host today, she feels like men
should have women friends and women should have men friends.
Speaker 7 (01:18:21):
Yeah, you have to now, you can't be a well
rounded individual just walking around with a whole bunch of
I don't want to be in a room full of
nothing but vagina.
Speaker 13 (01:18:28):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:18:29):
I feel like I grew up with the all brothers.
Speaker 7 (01:18:32):
You know, they teach me things about myself and about
men that I need to know. So as I get older,
I don't know. I got male best friends, and my
husband's cool with that, and I'm okay with him having
girlfriends dis respect absolutely.
Speaker 6 (01:18:44):
Like the caller said earlier that the thing that he
was saying that, you know, he didn't know if he
wanted to bring his fiance around his other friends. I'm
the different. I'm totally different. When I go out, Baby,
you want to come because I'm going to have just
as much friend with the homies than with my wife
as well. Like anybody ever see me out or I've
been out anywhere, I've been my wife with me. I
have a great time with my wife. I drink my
wife drink.
Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
It don't matter.
Speaker 6 (01:19:04):
We have a good time. If we go to a
strip club, we both tipp it. If we go to
I don't know, casina, we both gambling, like we have
that much fun.
Speaker 7 (01:19:12):
But it's a little questionable when somebody sends an invite
to DJ Envy as opposed to you and your wife,
Like the invite should be coming to both of you anyway,
one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (01:19:22):
And that's what I told the dude last time, Like
when he said he didn't want to bring his fiance
around his friends. Your friends should not only want to
meet your fiance, they should be embracing your fiance and
bringing her into the circle of friends with open arms.
Speaker 1 (01:19:35):
Correct. Correct, Well, let's go to the phone lines. The lord,
who's this?
Speaker 17 (01:19:39):
This is Lydia.
Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
Hey, Lydia, good.
Speaker 5 (01:19:41):
Morning, good morning every day.
Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
Oh my god, what's your thoughts?
Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
So my thoughts is I.
Speaker 27 (01:19:49):
Believe it's okay for each us to have guy or
girlfriends as long as they are respectful of the relationship
fast marriage because we are married. So and then I
work in the night life part time, so I'm a bartender, waitress,
and I have a bunch of guy friends that I
work with for years. And when my husband and I
(01:20:10):
first started dating, he was very like accepting of everything
and everybody because everybody was like cool and respectful. And
once I got married, like everybody was like, nah, she's married,
leave her alone, leave her alone, like they were very
perspective of me. So yeah, and then his girls grow
homegirls that he's had, there's only ever been one person
(01:20:31):
that I have to be like, she's not your friend,
because a girl just knows when somebody's trying to put.
Speaker 6 (01:20:36):
Her do so, but I won't say that that might
change it a little bit too, right. And the reason
I say that might change if you're if you're working
and guys are hollering at you all day long, I
think that can make any guy feel a little insecure.
Speaker 8 (01:20:49):
Why.
Speaker 27 (01:20:50):
I mean, he doesn't say anything like because they don't
touch me, they don't do anything, Like they can look
and they can say what they want to say, and
he did. He's not bothered by it because he knows
at the end of the night, I'm coming home.
Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (01:21:04):
So what you're what you're calling being bothered and is
actually just called being insecure, Yes, I said, but why
so you don't trust your woman? No?
Speaker 6 (01:21:12):
It's not a matter about trusting, but it's just a
certain job. So when you bartend, the most bartender is
I would say a majority of them. They when they
serve drinks, they flirt a little, right. We've all had
a bartend that flirt, yes or no.
Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
No, I think you're kind.
Speaker 7 (01:21:27):
I think you just you're just kind, You're nice to everybody.
Speaker 1 (01:21:30):
That's your ego. You think you think everybody flirting with you,
that's your ego.
Speaker 6 (01:21:34):
Right light skin right red red.
Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
The bartenders flirt sometimes.
Speaker 3 (01:21:38):
All the time, the red light skin too.
Speaker 6 (01:21:41):
Man, do you flirt at all with with people that
that bydric?
Speaker 23 (01:21:45):
No?
Speaker 9 (01:21:45):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
Can I tell you guys something.
Speaker 27 (01:21:47):
I'm just nice. I'm just nice And then they're like
just nice and then they mistake it for flirting, but
I'm like, no, I'm not flirting.
Speaker 1 (01:21:53):
And then I have to be mean to Like I
want all guys out there to know. That's your ego talking.
Speaker 4 (01:21:58):
If you think that every girl girl being kind to
you is flirting, And if you think every girl being
just nice to you means that they want you, that's
all ego brod and and and and you helen insecure.
If you think that, uh, you're hell insecure and you
don't trust your woman. If you think guys hollering at her,
if guy's hollering at her, bothers you bartend.
Speaker 1 (01:22:20):
Is definitely flirt all the time. I want to say
all the.
Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
Time, but they but everybody flirts. Like the lady at
Walmart begging your groceries is flirt.
Speaker 1 (01:22:34):
All she said was high, have a nice day.
Speaker 3 (01:22:42):
Listen.
Speaker 7 (01:22:42):
Anywhere you go, you're gonna find what you're looking for.
So if you go to the board looking for someone
to flirt, that's what she's doing.
Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
Good morning, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 6 (01:22:49):
Talk to what's your thoughts me personally?
Speaker 11 (01:22:53):
Like I said, like Jada said, my immotreself wanted to
be friends with my man's friends all the time when
I was younger me now, I don't even care. That's
your mand Like, those are your friends.
Speaker 5 (01:23:04):
I don't want to be friends with the girlfriends.
Speaker 11 (01:23:06):
I don't want to be friends with their wives.
Speaker 5 (01:23:08):
Just let me do me.
Speaker 13 (01:23:09):
You go have fun with their friends, and I'm good.
Speaker 1 (01:23:11):
Yeah, if it happens organically, oh that's great.
Speaker 19 (01:23:15):
I don't really care anymore.
Speaker 11 (01:23:16):
I'm just you know, I've gotten older, I'm more mature,
like at this point, if it's beneficial to youth, fine,
If it's not beneficial to youth, cut it out.
Speaker 13 (01:23:26):
For me.
Speaker 11 (01:23:26):
It's not beneficial, so I don't want any parts.
Speaker 6 (01:23:28):
Of it, yakisha, all right, what's the more of the story, guys?
Speaker 17 (01:23:33):
More?
Speaker 3 (01:23:33):
The story is friends? How many of us have?
Speaker 1 (01:23:43):
I think?
Speaker 4 (01:23:44):
I think the moral of the story is friendship is
always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
That's what I think.
Speaker 3 (01:23:52):
And it doesn't matter what private part you have.
Speaker 1 (01:23:54):
Yes, well, let's get to the rumors.
Speaker 16 (01:24:00):
Mad when people don't understand your dreams. God be eating
in your vision.

I understand the importance of this for kids that are
aging out of foster care and don't have anywhere to

bridge to better.

Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
He don't tell nobody.
Speaker 29 (01:26:37):
I got couch still in that this came on up
right now, okay, and I thought that, you know, you know,
just to offset the.
Speaker 1 (01:26:45):
Shame that came with that it would be it would
behoove me, you know.
Speaker 29 (01:26:51):
To invest in the community by acquiring this piece of property.
Speaker 1 (01:26:56):
It's the least that could be, you know what I'm saying.
Everyone does a little, No one has to do a lot.
Speaker 13 (01:27:02):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (01:27:03):
Only a person who is from a community knows exactly
what the community needs.
Speaker 1 (01:27:08):
So Tip knows that that community needs that.
Speaker 7 (01:27:11):
So he gave it to him And shout out to
Killer Mike because he said this decision and the efforts
that he put into making this happen was inspired by
Killer Mike. So just goes to show how each one
of us can do a little something to make everything better.
Speaker 1 (01:27:22):
Love both those brothers. Man Saluta, Clifford Harrison, Michael.
Speaker 3 (01:27:24):
Renda also in the room of report.
Speaker 7 (01:27:26):
Looks like Drake is teasing a surprise EP just after
announcing the tour that he's going to be doing that
features j Cole.
Speaker 3 (01:27:32):
He posted this video saying that this new EP is
not leftover songs.
Speaker 7 (01:27:37):
This brand new stuff is brand new songs are moved
to create and put out in this moment to make
this moment a little bit better.
Speaker 3 (01:27:43):
Check out what he had to say.
Speaker 1 (01:27:45):
I feel no need to appease anybody.
Speaker 30 (01:27:49):
I feel so confident about the body of work that
I just dropped that I know I could go and
disappear for whatever, six months, a year, two years, even
though I'm not really like into it. I'm not really
into the lengthy, super lengthy disappearances for the sake of mystery.
But you know, ultimately it's coming to me in a
(01:28:13):
way that I haven't experience maybe since, like if you're
reading this, where it's just kind of like I feel
like I'm on drugs. I feel like I'm in that
mental state without doing anything.
Speaker 1 (01:28:23):
I did those songs in the last five days.
Speaker 30 (01:28:26):
I didn't have one bar written down for those songs
on the night that for All the Dolls dropped. It's
not like I'm picking up from some unfinished you know,
this is just it's happening on its own.
Speaker 4 (01:28:38):
Do you think he's inspired to do this because of
the backlash that the album that he put out for
All the Dogs got. Should we just accept the fact
that Drake likes to put out music the same way
Wayne does and Gucci and Young Boy and Pok. He
just likes making music. I think both are just a
response to the backlash. I think both.
Speaker 6 (01:28:52):
I think one is a little response to the backlash,
and too, I think he just enjoys making music. I mean,
Drake raps. He likes to make music or he wraps anything. Well,
he wraps, but he likes to put out and yeah,
and I'm excited about it. I can't wait to hear
it tonight. I'm hoping that he gives me what I
want pause and that's a full rap album.
Speaker 1 (01:29:09):
Him rapping.
Speaker 4 (01:29:10):
Drake is like the guy that you you just can't
help but be gay in his old screens, like for
no reason. I hope, I hope he drops to night
and he gives me what I want. I say it
like that God's coming, Oh my God, did you hear it?
Speaker 3 (01:29:25):
Grow up?
Speaker 1 (01:29:27):
You grow up?
Speaker 4 (01:29:28):
I ain't say grow up, I say gross, hey, yo,
scary out sexualizing. I don't just I'm a Drake fan
and I hope he gives me the music that I.
Speaker 1 (01:29:39):
Won't stop objective from people. It's just the way you
think about things. Everybody heard it. Everybody heard it, bro
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 4 (01:29:47):
I won't say this though, that Drake and j Cole
video hard first person shooting.
Speaker 3 (01:29:52):
What's happening? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
Because I never know what you had?
Speaker 14 (01:29:55):
What do you tell?
Speaker 17 (01:29:56):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (01:29:56):
Man, Jesus Christ?
Speaker 17 (01:29:59):
You like it?
Speaker 23 (01:29:59):
You?
Speaker 1 (01:30:00):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (01:30:00):
I like the video because that is how I want
my superstar rappers to be looking in videos. That was
a superstar rapper video, y'all be too regular, riding around
the city on city bikes and all kinds of crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:30:12):
It doesn't have the.
Speaker 6 (01:30:12):
Same budget, sir, that drinking definitely, but the pay out
of pocket. Every other rapper might not have that budget.
Speaker 4 (01:30:18):
And whoever that director was, I can't remember the guy's name.
It came on at the end of the video that
was like that was it? That was nineties rap video esque,
Like I enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (01:30:27):
I spend some money on that video. Yes, all right, all.
Speaker 3 (01:30:29):
Right, modolong.
Speaker 7 (01:30:30):
Cardi B is defending Will Smith. Will Smith's Name's been
in the headlines consistently lately. We heard a great Jadap
can gett interview earlier, and it looks like Cardi B
is chiming in the most recent story has the accusation
that he was getting he was getting with his friend
Dwayne Martin. If you've been listening since seven, you would
have already heard the interview. You know, Jada addressed the
(01:30:51):
allegation she's ready to go to war. She said they're
completely untrue. The Smith family does plan to take legal action.
If you missed it, make sure you check the interview
out on you to, but definitely check out what Cardi
Be had to say.
Speaker 25 (01:31:02):
I don't like how I was fooled a couple of
weeks ago.
Speaker 20 (01:31:05):
Some people just never change.
Speaker 25 (01:31:07):
I don't like that. I don't like what people be
doing to Will Smith. I Be found like Will Smith
is very unproblematic, and I feel like he got like
a nice heart. I found out that Will Smith.
Speaker 20 (01:31:17):
Is a libra.
Speaker 25 (01:31:17):
I always said this, like libras, we be getting tried,
we be getting tried, and then when we outburst, we
outburst so heavy that we become the ones in the wrong.
At your job, as a journalist, you should be able
to detect whether somebody is bush or not, because anybody
(01:31:39):
could say something about anybody. Look what happened to me
in twenty eighteen when a that I never I don't
even I didn't even know her name, was saying that
she know me, that she did into my house. Anybody
could say a fake ass story about you, fake as
believe it.
Speaker 4 (01:31:53):
Nobody cares about the truth and the lie more entertainment. Entertainment,
and there is no discernment with any of this stuff
because nobody wants to not believe. They want to believe
the silation stuff. It's it makes for better conversation for individuals.
It allows people to escape their own truth.
Speaker 1 (01:32:07):
That's right. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:32:08):
But they can mess up homes, it can mess up businesses,
it can mess up all types of things that people
are trying to do because of these lies. But that
is your rumor report. Now let's get to the People's choice.
Mix will be back. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:32:19):
