Speaker 1 (00:06):
The morning show for nine dayn better know that's the
people's choice.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
The Saluto on my life skined brothers out there, it's
just hilarious. That's what the world I ask. Just don't
do no why man, Charlemagne to God, talk to everybody.
Come to the breakfast club. I call this the hot seat.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
La backfast Stubb.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
It's like being on Americans from Port.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
Don't feel like my thiss Sugers.

Speaker 5 (00:26):
I never thought to me for every time I go
to a revers club, I know it's gonna be like
a foot man.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Get this is your time to get it off your chest,
whether you're man or blessed. I hate the way that
you walk.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
The way that you talk, I hate the way that
you dress.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Everything when me is best call up next eight hundred
five eighty five one five one. Not just me, I'm
with the coach of filing about who's this.

Speaker 6 (00:53):
This is a this is Henry from all man. I
just want to say, I love y'all, blessed, good morning,
just so beautiful. Last and wait for that baby to drop.

Speaker 7 (01:02):
Your name Henry for her Henry.

Speaker 6 (01:06):
I just wanted to give a birthday shout out to
my brother Jeremiah and my man, Pete k the universal twins.
They share the same birthday. But I love your boys,
manous and Yo, Charlie.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Man, I need a hat. Yo.

Speaker 5 (01:21):
I don't know if we got any, but I can
send you a copy of my new book, Getting on
Us to Die Line.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
If you hey, let's find it please.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I got you on email a book today. Hello, who's this?

Speaker 8 (01:32):
It's name?

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Get it off your chest? Your name.

Speaker 8 (01:37):
I really feel like this Kendrick and Drake beef was
about to be the most historic moments in hip hop
that we witnessed, and the sam social media really ruin this.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Beef real fast, talk to me, talk to me more,
let me hear expound on that.

Speaker 8 (01:52):
It really made these artists get out of pocket and
start asking like they normally don't ask. Kendrick getting real emotional,
kind of I really, Drake really not moving like he
should like it. Just really, it really made the beef
really nasty because their quarter of public opinion cannot look
at these sounds objectively.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
Well, I'm gonna tell you something, I don't give a
damn about the court of public opinion.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
I enjoyed it.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
I think it was the greatest rap feud of all time.
I think that Drake and Kendrick both delivered with the music.
I don't see the problem.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
I love the fact that they gave us the music.
I love the fact that they came back so fast.
I love the fact that it just gave people something
to talk about.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
I mean, you could decide who you thought it was winner.
Some people thought it was Kendrick, some people thought it
was Drake. But I think hip hop really won. I
mean that the amount of music we got. I just
hope those brothers didn't take it too far away they
want to. They did where they would have hurt each other.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
They did.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
You call me a pedophile, You say I'm a woman
beat that, You say my wife is pregnant, had a
baby by my man.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, you took it too far.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
He ain't gonna never see them on stage in the
future holding each other's hands up. Like I remember how
Nas and Jay came out and they did the whole
I declared, peace.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Thing that's not happening. No, no, he don know. I
never thought Jay and Think would do it though either Na.
I never thought it was totally. I never thought I
would see g Z and Gucci on the stage together.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
I never thought I would see GZ and you might.
I mean, yeah with you, you're right with the GZ
and Gucci thing, You're right.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Are they cool? That's no. I wouldn't say when they're cool,
But I think they can get the money and do
the verses.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
They they can be on the same tre still throwing
crazy shots. But at one time they could even be
on the same stage with each other.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
By the way, it took twenty that was twenty plus
years later too, So at least I think it was
at least twenty so we got about nineteen more years.
You got about nineteen more years before you see us
something like that. But I thoroughly enjoyed this battle. But
stands are gonna be stands too. I think the problem
with hip hop is that it's not like sports, so
you can't you can't say who won. Everybody just wants
to go with their who their preferences, whether it's Draco Kendrick.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
When it's a sport, it's a score. Yeah, you know, Hello,
who's this? This is Keith?

Speaker 5 (09:14):
People don't understand growing up in the Carolinas, South Carolina
and North Carolina, we didn't have no football teams, and
so most people that we knew were either My daddy
was a Dallas Cowboy fan. There's a lot of forty
nine Ers fans and Steelers fans as well in the Carolinas,
so the Panthers didn't come around till later.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
That's right. Yeah, I've been abused your whole I have
a good one.

Speaker 5 (09:51):

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Did y'all know each other like we all friends?

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Or I knew of Malaysia.

Speaker 14 (10:47):
We've been to like some birthday parties together, but it
was my first time meet and all the ladies.

Speaker 13 (10:51):
Yeah, Well, Princess and I were cool. She tried to
get me on Housewives a few seasons, and I don't know.
I thought it was gonna be messy, but I guess
it's still messy where we are some type of way
jumped out of the grease into the fire pan.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
So what is Bowling Boogie about if we haven't seen it?

Speaker 13 (11:07):
I mean, I think all reality shows have the same premise.
They followed the lives of each of the cast, so
they just follow us around each of our different lives.
Like she owns a restaurant, I have a clothing business,
and I have books and this and that, and they
follow us and then they have us.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Come together and argue about it. We don't know that
we're arguing about the Yeah, why did you say? Why
were you late to my event?

Speaker 13 (11:28):
Because I'd be like, because my name ain't on the cake,
it's not my birthday, Like, it's that kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
So why dy'll decide to do it? Because if ya
knew it was gonna beefing and and you know what,
they're gonna put it on TV. They ain't gonnaut nice stuff.
They're gonna put your restaurant packed, they ain't gonna put
your now.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
They did, they did a.

Speaker 14 (11:44):
Good job of showcasing our business and stuff like that.
But for myself, I did it because like I'm getting
back out here, you know, single mom, and so I'm
getting to my.

Speaker 13 (11:51):
Bag period, and that's it. That's all My only focus period.
So why didn't you You know how some wives they
choose to keep the last name of the husband. Why
didn't you keep last names?

Speaker 14 (12:01):
Well, he's not known as Neil Smith and those are
my last name, so.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
It was an easy decision.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (12:08):
Well, I mean people didn't know his name though he's
not known, that's not what they called him.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
But people do know his last name. Why you didn't
keep Ram? I still use Raymond. It's easier. It's easier
to use Raymond.

Speaker 13 (12:18):
But on social media, I dropped it because they would
be on my page like he got rid of you,
he signed them papers, you got to them.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
But my kids have the same name, my passport.

Speaker 13 (12:28):
It's just so much to change that stuff, your credit cards,
your bank accounts, your passport, your social security got that
kind of time. I trying to be in linen where
like social media want me to change my name. Only
black community really trip off of that.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Think about it. We'd be mad.

Speaker 13 (12:43):
That's because they're fans of the artists, so they think
that we took their husbands, and it's just well, congratulations
on your restaurant business.

Speaker 7 (12:50):
Girl.

Speaker 14 (12:51):
For the first episode of Bolden Bougie. You doing music,
that's something I do for for you know, you've heard
some about Yeah, they played with that scene, they played
hard with that.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
It was nasty.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
You're not taking it serious.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
No, It's just something I do for fun to let out.

Speaker 10 (13:10):
Okay, and but you but you.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Got a name and everything. VVS what's up?

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Well gave me that name, so I mean, why not
ride with it?

Speaker 4 (13:17):
V B.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Got Jesus, I thought she was about to really really
drove something. No, she did got.

Speaker 13 (13:26):
I got like Hella songs like yeah and you So
you're that's something that you're never going to do.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
I don't think.

Speaker 14 (13:33):
I mean, I'm thirty seven. I mean, you know, so
I don't want to be like.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
A pediatric repper. I got there too.

Speaker 14 (13:41):
I have so many things that are on my plate
right now. That music is just like you know, it's
it's it's a slow like build to making money. And
I need I need the bag to come quicker than that, because.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Reality you be helping her like the overall brand of everything.

Speaker 13 (13:54):
So the reason why I even agreed to do it
is because I have a clothing line Eli Kish and
then of course my books, and so I was hoping, Yeah,
here I stand in white bras and now I have
an animated book coming out soon, and so I was
really hoping that it would really spotlight my businesses and
I think it did at it did a little bit.
I just think that they didn't get the like they want,

(14:16):
the drama of it. So like I had a fashion show,
for example, and we had too much power running so
the generator, I mean, the lights went down for a second.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
They highlighted that five seconds of the lights going down,
like it was a happened. Did they not pay their bill?

Speaker 13 (14:30):
I'm like, come on, it was at an art gallery
and bucket it was. It was fine and it was nice,
but they made it seem like instead of showing the
clothes and how beautiful the models were and all that,
they didn't focus on any It was a really nice show.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
It was a great show. And the clothes were banging,
of course, so it hurts. It didn't hurt, it just
didn't help.

Speaker 13 (14:47):
It was like, damn, we put all that money into
the fashion show and you know, selecting the models and
the makeup and the hair, and you guys want to
show the five seconds that the lights went out, that
that's what you wanted to focus on.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Could y'all ever like have meetings? Art is it like
complain to somewhere that.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
You know the group chair. Let me tell you this one.

Speaker 14 (15:05):
With the group chat we get, we get a message
every day and long.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
I don't read none of that.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Love you.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
I do not reside to the group chat. Take me
out of it.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
I go off.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
I'd be giving whole dissertations life to me. Get a
seven minute person.

Speaker 13 (15:25):
She will write, you see, she likes to write. She
will write chapters. But I think that it's realize, check
this out. We are bigger than this, We're above this.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
I was like, my brand is not that you know
what I mean, But I mean, I mean when you.

Speaker 14 (15:40):
Answer into something like that, you know what you're signing
up for. So I think it's up to the individual
on how you conduct yourself and how you handle yourself.
Like for me, I feel like it was a benefit
to me because you know, I don't really speak out.
I don't really do all that kind of stuff. So
it was able to showcase like who I am as
a person and my morals and my standards and how
I am.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
So it worked out for me actually very well.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
All these celebrities again, since you like your life is
so out there, like they pick in part everything that
you guys do.

Speaker 14 (16:06):
I think I want to man that sit behind the desk.
I think I think I'm over it, just over it,
the whole lifestyle. I'll take the forefront in the bed.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Would date a bus driver?

Speaker 3 (16:16):
No, I don't know, just a.

Speaker 14 (16:21):
Decent three kids. I'm a single mother and my bills.
The salary does not cover my bills, and I just
it's not for me.

Speaker 13 (16:28):
Then say why his salary got to cover your bills.
You should be able to cover your bills. I already
know what thet but it's.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Not just.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
I wanted to ask you about your book.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
Here I stand interesting title because someone could say it's
just a cliche term all one could say, sure, also
named to the album Here I stand, right, So why
did you decide to name it here I stand?

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Well, Here I stand.

Speaker 13 (16:51):
You Remember that was a time where people were really
in love and you know, having their first child and
all kinds of stuff. And the album is dedicated to
me if you read the credits and all that. And
I was very kind of instrumental on the album, which
kind of flops. So I guess that's well, they're my
musical Chase. I want to come back, but anyway, so no,

(17:14):
So here I stand because I you know, I've been
through a lot, and so it's about remaining in a
beautiful state despite it all.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Like life happens, Life is gonna come at you.

Speaker 13 (17:23):
Things are gonna have You're gonna lose people, You're gonna
lose love, You're gonna have heartbreak.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
But you have to remain in a beautiful state. So
things will happen. You have to come back to being
positive and just in a good space.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
We got more with Crystal Smith and Tamika Raymond when
we come back there on The Bold and the Bougie,
a show on we TV.

Speaker 2 (17:39):

Neo's calls, because it seems like you still got a
little hurt, like you did something.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
No, nothing, not hit his hats in the world I
got you now, just run.

Speaker 9 (18:19):
No.

Speaker 13 (18:19):
No.

Speaker 14 (18:19):
I I walked away peacefully because when you when you
fight and argue, it's because you still want to be there.
And although I mean, one of the hardest things to
do is to walk away from somebody you're still in
love with, but I love myself more, and I knew
that I was going to go crazy if I chose
to try to work it out and stay. You know
what I'm saying. And I always have love for him,
but it's it's different now, you know.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
So the kids are good. The kids are good, you.

Speaker 14 (18:45):
Know, they go and spend time with Daddy. They love
their their their father, and they're good. I let him
be a father and and and I be a key
communication at a minimum, just because I'm focused on rebuilding
my life and what that means for me. So I
don't want to surround myself with what the past was
that could potentially put me in a place where I'm
emotional and all those things.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
So I choose to just keep it separate.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, so there was no drunk less like hey, big head, nothing,
But then he tried, Okay, what is that he tried?

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Listen.

Speaker 14 (19:20):
I think at this point he knows that there's there's
no coming back. So we're trying to figure out what
Cole parents and looks like for us because I just
don't want to be around the situation. And you know,
I all the respect, all love to him and no shade,
but I just when somebody hurts you to a certain extent,
I don't want to be in that environment.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Did you try therapy? Did you try to make it? Men?
So it was done. It was like, there's no therapy.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
I fought the next day.

Speaker 13 (19:48):
And Crystal filed the next day after hearing that breakfast club.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Really it wasn't.

Speaker 14 (19:55):
It wasn't really that is that is what prompted me
to look around.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, you're getting his phone.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
It was the same pass all.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
He wasn't trying to hide anything.

Speaker 13 (20:05):
Some of them smart, that's what you get out of her. Yeah, Yeah,
she's been around.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
I'd be like, hold on, where that other phone is?
Another he was sleeping and he just pick up the
phone and just.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
No, he was here. He was doing another interview. Yes,
he was at the radio station. I was at the hotel.
He was like in New York.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
You was scrolling down. So when he came back I
was so by the time he got back to the
hotel from the interview, you was on his head.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
I was gone.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
I know, I didn't say anything, or you left the
phone and you didn't tell nothing. You ain't tell nothing.

Speaker 14 (20:39):
You just know, I mean, he he he knew that
his phone was was missing, and so he realized and
and you know, oh.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
My god, you took the phone and left. They took
the phone.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
I am a black woman, I am not done.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Everything. I would put it all back like nothing happened. Yeah,
you didn't try to apologize and nothing like you don't.

Speaker 14 (20:58):
I mean, of course he apologized, and you know, he
didn't want me to get a divorce or whatever.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
But he knows.

Speaker 14 (21:03):
He knows how I value myself and he knows when
I'm not playing, And in that situation, I think he
just he knew they was no coming back, you.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Know, so is what it is. Would love to know
what he learned he had.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
We had a.

Speaker 14 (21:14):
Beautiful relationship, a beautiful marriage, a beautiful friendship. And I
don't regret it. I don't take it back, and I'm
appreciative to the love that we did have because a
lot of people don't experience the love like that that
I had, you know, but that season it's gone.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
That that that chapter is closed.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
And how long were you all together?

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Almost ten years?

Speaker 10 (21:32):
Damn?

Speaker 5 (21:34):
I want to me because you said earlier here I
Stand flopped and we were talking about chance to rapp him.
And you know what happens when an artist makes an
album dedicated to his wife, my dear, Yeah, and the
album this album is whack.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
The album was good, you understand, was a banging album.

Speaker 6 (21:51):
It was.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
And let me tell you this. I'm gonna say this.
This is in defense of him really quick, and I
don't want to talk about it. I'm okay.

Speaker 10 (21:57):
It was enough.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
But here I Stand was so.

Speaker 13 (22:00):
Solid because he was ahead of his time. He got
married before anybody before. This was before J and B.
This is before justin Timberlake. This is before he was
an outlier in like trying to be mature and wear suits.
That suit and tie that was we did that already. Sorry,
no offense, JG, but you know what I mean, Like
we were trying to make him go to the next level.

(22:21):
The fans weren't ready for him to evolve and get
to that level. And then now it's cool, everybody's married,
and see we just were ahead of our time, but
we did it too soon. So they were like, he
married this old ass lady and she's whack and that's
that and we hate him and so here I Stand
wasn't received the way it should have been, but it
was solid songs on that album made flop fly, but

(22:45):
it didn't do a million a million copies in the
first week like you know all the other albums.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
Is the goal for both of y'all because y'all have
so much going on. As the goal for both of
y'all to get to a place where nobody asked you
about them, That is what I say.

Speaker 14 (22:58):
I want the world to know Crystal, but it's impossible,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 13 (23:02):
And that's what people always say. You don't want people
to ask you about him, but you still have his
last name. But I'm still I'm.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Still my own person, you know what I mean. Diane
von Furstenberg is Dyane von Furstenberg.

Speaker 13 (23:12):
She was married to Count von Furstenberg, but she's still
an amazing designer.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Like I just again, it's our community. Do you still
do styling like that or not too much?

Speaker 13 (23:22):
I have a clothing line called Eli Kish I will
style certain artists, if they have certain people, if they
have a budget. It's not even artist, it's just if
you have a budget and you can afford to pay me.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
A stylist a lost art now, like you don't really
see them as like growing up in the two thousands,
you would see stylists.

Speaker 13 (23:38):
You see, Yes, styling is a lost art because it's
so it's oversaturated with people who have taken the title.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
You can work a gap for three days and all
you got to do rolling a trench code. You'd be like,
I'm a stylist to the stars. You walk out and
say you're the top stylist. I'm looking like happens in
every league.

Speaker 13 (24:05):
Listen, people can get what two viral videos now? The comedian,
yeah yeah you can. You know, you can get a
PCAs now you're radio person now, yeah yeah you can.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
You know. So I think it's the oversaturation in every lane.

Speaker 13 (24:15):
Every lane, and that probably is because you know why,
I'm not just not too much on our people, but
it's low hanging fruit. They people don't You don't see
too many people fighting to be scientists or doctors or lawyers.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
You know what I'm saying. That requires a lot of work.

Speaker 13 (24:29):
That requires work in reading, like actual reading, like read hello,
read if you would read?

Speaker 2 (24:35):
No, they want to do what's you know, the easiest
thing like I'm a stylist. I love clothes.

Speaker 13 (24:40):
That's not how it works. Wos here put them on?
Yeah yeah girl, that's right. All right, thank you ladies
for joining us. Man make sure comment screenboled and boogie
on all black. Right now, go get to Amika Tamika
Raymond's book.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Here, I stand here, I stand in a beautiful state.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
That's right, that's right, it's krystalpher and to me Foster,
that's the breakfast Luve Goo morning, Thank you, vas Mary
is Charlamae the day we are the breakfast club Nowhew
just joining us.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Charlamage. His book is out today, Get Honest or Die
Aligned Why small Talk Sucks.

Speaker 5 (25:14):
Yes, my third book is out today, and this book
is all about people who want to start being honest
with themselves, because if you're honest with yourself, you'll stop
volunteering lives to other people.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
And it's just about how I hate small talk.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
That's right, not just not just the literal form of
like chit chatter, but literally when people have nothing to
really talk about.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
So they just make things up.

Speaker 5 (25:36):
But also how we turn a bunch of micros into
macros nowadays, So we make these small things big issues,
and then when the big issues come across our desk,
we don't deal with them at all, don't even know
how to talk about them.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Right, Well, that is the question eight hundred and five
eighty five one O five one. Let's talk what you ess?
Small talk? How do you avoid it? How do you
get out of it? I just walk away, just walk away.

Speaker 13 (25:59):
But I have a very like expressive face, so people
will know, like they be knowing sometimes like okay, she
don't want to talk, like even at my party there's
a lot of you know, of course white people, you
know who work for her or probably not. And then
they were asking like yeah, so like oh my god,
you know, like just just talking and I just was

(26:19):
like yeah. They was like, yeah, you probably don't care,
you know, because it's all in your facial disposition, how
you express yourself.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
And then like some people I do just walk away
from just walk away.

Speaker 5 (26:29):
Just is very good at avoiding small talk because not
just her facial expressions, she'll just straight up tell you
you're doing too much and there's nothing wrong with that.
I think that that is the type of boundary you
should set when you don't want to have any meaningless conversation.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Yeah, I'm with just I walk away, I just walk
I walk away. I'm that guy. I just look. I can't.
But there's times where you can't walk away, right, like
when you're on a plane and you're sitting next to.

Speaker 5 (26:52):
Somebody, that's when you tell them. But that's you know
what I usually do in that situation, I call I
just thot calling.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
And usually they don't want to talk to a that
point because they usually think you COVID or something like that,
so they just they don't want to talk to you.
Or I act like I'm falling to sleep and they're talking.
I closed my eyes, like I start nodding off, yeah,
like oh you're tired, Yes I am. And that usually
that is crazy.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
I would never call. But what's wrong with your mouth? Though?
It's meaning? Like why can't you just tell the person?
Hey man, I'm a little tired right now.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
I want to get some sleep, because sometimes that doesn't
work because they just keep talking.

Speaker 13 (27:22):
And we don't like hurting people feelings too, Like you
don't like that you can tell like he don't really
like hurting people feelings, literally, but I feel like being
just like but I do, It's not it won't be
hurting nobody feels I'm being honest with you, Like, yo,
I don't even want to talk right now.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
You know.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
That's why I got this first class seat so I
can kick back, chill. I got a lot of things
to do that what is the title of the book,
get honest lying? Why are you lying to people? That's
works now they think you got COVID? Yeah, like can
I'm on my seat because so what do you do? Charlamagne?

Speaker 5 (27:58):
Literally all the things that just said, I will tell
somebody straight up, like, look, we don't have to do
this right now. And this is honestly what the book
is given you permission to do. It's giving you permission
to say, Hey, we don't have to do this right now.
We don't have to make meaningless conversation. And if you
do want to have a conversation, I have topics in
this book that you can discuss if you choose to.
This book is literally like a card game almost like

(28:19):
you just draw, you know, different topics from it to
talk about. Because I'm not an expert than anything, I
just get my thoughts on things, and then you know,
we open up the floor for conversation, just like we're
about to do it.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Right now with the phone.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
So when Shagi was all in your ear talking about
sexy reds calf muscle, I don't even know how that came.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yeah, so how did you get out of it? I said,
nigga what? Then he laughed, and you know, we were
just taking a picture. And then that was that, and
then the song came on. He was trying. He started dancing.
I started dancing. Chield a baby, the baby, all the
big girls being the club doing this for no reason.

(29:00):
It's the funniest thing, and all of this just the top.
Oh my goodness, let's let's go to the form Jesus Christy.

They will just how you doing?

Speaker 4 (29:31):
And by that's it?

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Okay, why do we have to do all that?

Speaker 5 (29:36):
Like, why can't you just tell somebody I don't want
to have this conversation right now. I'm not in the mood.
I'm busy, Like I'd rather be on my phone. I'd
rather be sitting here in silence. If we're going to
talk about something, let's talk about this, like why why
do y'all got to do all that?

Speaker 2 (29:51):

Bruce Bruce has been on the shelf.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
And I want to you know when I when sometimes
when when somebody comes to the first time, I want
to start from the beginning, right, Okay, Now, I know
your story because I've been studying you, I've been following you.
But for people that don't know, how did Bruce Bruce
get into comedy? And I want you to explain your
job before comedy? Well, you know, I used to be
a chef. I can cook like a mug and you know,
everywhere I go, I used to always be funny. So
I hired this guy one time. I was running a

(34:50):
barbecue restaurant, old guy, and he said he used to
watch me in the kitchen when I first start, when
he first started, and he's watching.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
He said, you need to go.

Speaker 10 (34:57):
You need on stage, and I ain't paying to to
He's not gonna bring you something tomorrow. He brought me
this album, you know, back in the day at album.
He was a comedian, but he was ex Navy. He
was an alcoholic. He said, I waste your time on
this job, and you need to go on stage.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Know what I did? I quick because I had a family.

Speaker 10 (35:11):
I was young, man had three kids, and Man, I
went and started working for Freedo a potato chips, selling
potato chips. And the whole time I'm selling potato chips
and on the doc, I'm just funny, acting crazy. So
good old white dude. So you know you need to
go study. That's a year every morning, you know, study,
you frounny I look comedians at frauds there or nothing
you know, and you're gonna stay. And when I took

(35:32):
that step, man, I knew that's why I should have
been my whole entirelight and what made me take that step.
I was going through a divorce and my x Yfe said, you'd.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Never make it. Why did you tell you that?

Speaker 10 (35:43):
So I just looked at it and say, I see
you on TV. You know what I'm saying, And it's
been gone there. I've been doing it now thirty five
years now.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
You also mentioned that you were an only child. Only child,
your father left at the age of five.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Yeah, he was four or five.

Speaker 10 (35:56):
He was an air force and he was a Madeican
Air Force and he was he flew choppers and airplanes
and when he when he got out, he was an
antety geologist.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
That was it important to mend that relationship before he passed?
Or yeah, I did. I did.

Speaker 10 (36:09):
My mother said, I just wanted to know I remember him.
My mama said, what you looking for him for? You know,
because they be mad. But my mother really ran him off,
you know what I mean. She was just she ran
him off and she was off monster man. You know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Oh no, I just like, man, this dude is cool.

Speaker 10 (36:27):
He was really cool, you know, But she like, I
don't want to know everything he tried to do. She
just knocked it down, like but she was listening to
a girlfriends. That's why I tried to tell all these
young girls, don't listen to no woman that ain't got
no man. You don't say what I'm saying. If you
got a woman, if you got a girlfriend, you got
a husband. She not true a husband, but a woman
that don't have a man, she can't tell you nothing.
But he he just he left and he never ever

(36:49):
called us ever. And my mother didn't even know she
was divorced. He did a non contested divorce because my
mother just worked, come home, never went anywhere. So when
she said, I think I'm going to get a divorce,
and when she would do it, said you already divorced.
And Uncle Tessa, you put it in the newspaper for
thirty days. You don't answer the ad. Bam you divorced.
He was already gone. He was gone, he was gone.

(37:09):
They done got married three more times. I found it

So I seen him with another woman. He looked me
dead in a mine. He said, that was not he

reason she believed it because I didn't like him, so
she just kind of figured I made up a story
about him, and she let it go. But it took
her girlfriend or hers to see him, say saw that
dude with another woman? You know what I'm saying. They

(39:16):
took her to tell me she dated him like sixteen
years man, And I how to tell you, my mother,
I don't want to get married. I don't want to
get Okay, you don't want to get married, but this
dude's already married, so you can't marry this dude.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
When she found out, she was like she was toe up.

Speaker 5 (39:29):
Yeah, and you said, your uncle Paul inspired you as
far as comedy because he was the funny.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
Oh man, he was funny.

Speaker 10 (39:34):
Okay, he tell a lot. Everybody got help me with
this lot? Everybody he tell did I tell him? Yeah,
he told you, everybody help me.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
With this lot. But he was one of the best
bakers in the world.

Speaker 10 (39:46):
He he practically raised Gladys Knight back in the day,
and they used to call him the sweetbread Man, and
Gladys Knight knew him. His name was Paul Henson Junior,
and he went by the sweetbread Man because he was
the baker of in Atlanta. George, he was the man,
and he talked about Gladys all the time. But Gladys
and I was really raised on the same street. The

(40:06):
street was Chestnut Street. They changed to James Preet Broadley.
I was on four point fifteen. She was on like
seven eighty five something like that, just right up the street,
like two blocks. You know, No, no, I I was
a little kid. But she lived at when he first husband.
You know what I'm saying. But Gladys is a girl.

Speaker 5 (40:20):
Man, Wow, were you able to translate your funny to
actually make a career of it?

Speaker 2 (40:25):
But somebody like Uncle Paul, who was funny, couldn't. I
don't know.

Speaker 10 (40:28):
My uncle Paul was just scared to go and say
he was scared. See see black people back in it,
they had the skill to do everything, but they were
scared to do it. They had so much fear. So
like young kids, not the dude. They was, I don't care,
I'll do it. So I just took it and ran
with him. Uncle one of the best bakers in the world.
He went against bakers from France and Italy, you know,
from England, and he beat him all out, you know

(40:49):
what I mean. Then he went to He had a
cheesecake that he made. It was one of the best
cheesecakes in the world. And they tricked him out of
it and didn't have sense enough to get a lawyer.
And everything gave him like ten thousand dollar they clapping.
He was all happy with as yeah, when he could
have got one hundred million.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 10 (41:06):
But just didn't have a sense and the knowledge to
do that at the time.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Oh, you know, I wanted to know as a child,
was Bruce Bruce big as a child? No, man, I
was a little bit. He called me little Bruce. Man.
I didn't I didn't get fat till I got may
I don't know why I got married. Oh my god.
I wouldn't eat it.

Speaker 12 (41:20):
Man.

Speaker 10 (41:21):
I was just a little bit of dude, just run around,
just messing with everybody. I was a little bit of
kid man. But when I got married, I got fat.
You know, That's what happened to us as black man.
We get complacent that we get complacent with jobs. We
get a job, and let's just say, Jeral Motives were
making a little money. Oh man, that's a good job.
I don't care nothing about a good job. It's about
getting out there getting it, because it's more than that

(41:42):
and getting a good job.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
I ain't like that question, by the way, what man,
I ain't like the question? Do you ask you what
was Bruce Bruce little as a child was a big child.
I was a fat kid. What he wanted to.

Speaker 10 (41:56):
He thought I was just couldn't clap my hands, laid
could clap hand, y'all clap my hand. But no, man,
I was a little kid. Look cute, joker man, And
I'm messing with everybody. And you know we we seen
to lose focus and that's what happened. You lose focus,
you start eating crazy. But now I'm back at it. Man,
I'm sixty two years old. Man, Wow, we got.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
More with Bruce Bruce. When we come back, don't move.
It's to breakfast Club.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Come morning, j and d Yes, I lost my voice,
Jess Hilaria Charlamage the God we are the breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
We're still kicking it with Bruce Bruce. Now.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
I got a question, what's the most difficult city? Because
you're on the road, what five days a week, four
days a week, shoes you know, every week, what's the
toughest city for you?

Speaker 10 (42:36):
I'm gonna be honest. I never had a tough city, man.
I've had some tough crowds. When the comedy clubs hold
these people hostages, you know, like let's just say, first
show is at seven, second show is supposed to start
at ten, all right, they let the first show run over.
These people are come to the show at ten o'clock
outside waiting, So that's the piss they pissed, you know,

(42:57):
So you got to really go to work to make
them laugh, you know, or go and or say something
like this, say y'all have been at working. They want
to be there, Like yeah, that's why I feel now,
you know what I'm saying. So when you break the
ice with them, you got them. Once you get them,
you got them. But you got to run the clubs
on time. And it's hard dealing with us. It's black people.
It's hard to deal with a lot of black people, man.
But the white clubs they be on it, damn because

(43:19):
they realize the money they can make in the short
length of time.

Speaker 5 (43:22):
You know, you maybe think about when it comes to
doing business with black people and white people. Because I
love doing business with with with with my people, right,
but I don't think we often look at it as business.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
We don't like it should be a personal transaction, right.
It's always.

Speaker 10 (43:37):
It's a part because people people call my manager and
be like, man, Boo's go back fifteen.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
I don't even know this brother. You know what I'm saying. Yeah,
I met him at the gas station. End up, you
don't know me. Bro.

Speaker 10 (43:47):
Maybe I come across like you do know me, but
you don't know me. They'll call and be like, we
discussed the deal and he said he would do it
for this. That's not true because I don't discuss money
at all with anybody. But they always think it's like
a partner thing when it's just be busy.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
Do you remember your best show and you remember your
worst show? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (44:04):
Man, I can remember a lot of them, but the
people don't know it.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
I knew it. I can remember my first I mean,
I come off Saint Tap a guy.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
I didn't like that show. Well, people thought it was great,
but I'd be like, I didn't like that show. What
was your what was your worst show? Because they said
you don't write things down, it's just all I.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Come out a couple.

Speaker 10 (44:19):
One time I was in Houston, Texas, and uh, I
was doing this show, and I was joning everybody out
and this dude came up and joeed me and he
was funny, but you know, go damn Jonah. He said,
I did like a pickle jaw, you know. And I saw, like, damn,
that's funny. Bro I said, I'm gonna keep that, you know,
stepent me like a pickle jaw. I was like, oh
my god, that's funny. But the crowd loved it because

(44:41):
I took it so well. I didn't go off, you
know exactly. It was really funny when he said it.
And the best show I ever did, it was years
and years and years ago is when Bernie Mack was
red hot. Bernie Mack was super hot. And it's a
it's a part of Georgia called Makeham, Georgia, and it's
about an hour from Atlanta, and Bernie was performing, had
a five thousand seater and the feature didn't show up.

(45:01):
And the guy said, hey, man, my feature in't show.
Can you come down opening up for Bernie Mac? I said, yes,
you know, I had been in the game now about
five years. Yes, And I drove down a quick as
I could, and I was on stage and I can
remember Bernie Mack had his arm folded looking at me.
He said, who's that dude right there? He said his
Bruce was He said, he is funny. But Bernie went
up and ripped it. And I worked with Bernie twice

(45:23):
in my whole entire life. May couldn't. And then I
worked in Columbia, South Carolina on the top.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
That's it.

Speaker 10 (45:29):
But Bernie was a bad dude. Man, And people don't
realize when he did, I'm not scared of you on
death jail. He made that up right then because everybody
was coming up. They was having a car a hard
time here in New York. Damn jail. They was getting
it to him, you know, New York. You know you
don't hold no punches, you know. And Bernie said, man,
I ain't skettering them, mom, And he went up and did.
Him and Capri went together on it and he ripped it. Man,

(45:51):
Bernie was a bad.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
D Was that the funniest comedian you have worked with? No, man?

Speaker 10 (45:55):
I know some funny comedians now, like Tony Robertson is
stupid funny. Tony makes me laugh. You know who ton
Robinson was? Oh my god, Tonor Robbins told me he
used to day. The girl her breath was so.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Bad it smelled like a horse's hiccups. So who think
of that? Who think of a horse's hiccup? You know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 10 (46:12):
He makes me laugh. Mike Capps. Mike Capps is one
of the dude I trained back in the day. Mike
used to be on the road me. Mike moved from
Indiana to Atlanta. I used to take him on the
road with me, and then he moved to New York
and he called me when they said, man, they want
me to audition for Fridays.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
I said, what you waiting on? I said, looking for
somebody like you? And he called me a week later.
I got the part. I said, you're on your wait day.
They that's my man. Now we've seen Kat Williams pulled
out his chop a couple of months ago. He was
fired at everybody. What was your thoughts? Because you know
a lot of that stuff was was inside that became outside.

Speaker 10 (46:44):
Cat just told how he felt, man, and what's been
going on in his life for real, and he just
got fed up with it. You know when people when
people dog you out, Let's just say this. I used
to tell people I had a club in Atlanta. It's
called Club five five nine. And I used to tell
my securities. I said, listen, when you have an altercation
with a guy, be careful because they don't forget you.

(47:04):
You don't be forgot about them. So if you throw
them at the club, throw them on their head and
they'd be like, I'm not gonna forget that.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
They won't forget you. But you forgot who that was.

Speaker 10 (47:14):
And you had to go store with your woman shopping,
you roun up all you you remember me?

Speaker 2 (47:18):
You're like, no, you have to be careful.

Speaker 10 (47:19):
So Kat just went through some things, stuff that he
never forgot that was done to him, and he's coming
back retaliating, and he just told.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
It like it was.

Speaker 5 (47:27):
I mean, there's a lot of different things you could
take from that conversation. But the thing I took from
it that I appreciate it. It felt like it put
black comedy in a in a new light. Yeah, like
people started paying attention to the old geez like you
Tony Robbers, like they.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
I don't know. I just felt like it just shine
earthquake and shine.

Speaker 10 (47:43):
The light on the on the people who've been doing it,
and people got to understand something about Kat Williams. Cat
Williams is not a dummy.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
He is very smart. He's very smart.

Speaker 10 (47:52):
I don't know if y'all remember when he had altercation
in Atlanta with one of the smith if if you
ever noticed it, he never lost his composure.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
He stood there and drunk his coffee and he was
killing her the whole time. And he's just cool like that.
He's very smart. He's a smart guy. How did you
feel about all these artists mentioned you and their songs?
I love it. Well, you have a surprise that you
hear before when you heard let Bruce Bruce hit it?

Speaker 4 (48:13):
That?

Speaker 10 (48:14):

what I'm saying, like, we let Bruce bro. You should
be saying that. Then your girls should say it, but
not not me, not you Bro. That on the text

Speaker 5 (48:25):
Did he because our producer was like, man, Bruce Bruce
is already his we were on the way. Yeah, and
so he goes, well, entertain them, then let Bruce Bruce

Speaker 2 (48:31):

I forgive you. That's inside stuff. Man. I just I
just thought it was stupid, you know he did? Yeah,
I felt he felt we cool. So he just told
me and our producer told him that was he was
going to h it's gonna be that breathing. Why did
you do that? Why did you?

Speaker 1 (48:48):
Yeah, Biggie, Biggie mentioned you and hypnotize, Yeah, time you
heard what happened.

Speaker 10 (48:55):
I was in Jacksonville, Florid. I never forget this and
I wanted to meet him so bad because I was
a fan of Biggie, you know.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Man.

Speaker 10 (49:02):
He came in and I was on stage clowning. I
was joning people. I mean, I asked to do it.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
I said that shirt sill because it's I say, is
it's silky behind it too much? You know something like that.
He walked in, he said, just dude.

Speaker 10 (49:14):
Was funny because if you ever really pay attention to Biggie,
he didn't really smile that much, you know what I'm saying.
He just always had that look, this nuns look. He
smiled on the video when he was on the boat.
When he was on the boat and he started smiling,
he said, wanna put you down for it?

Speaker 2 (49:28):
And when I heard him, like what what was like
was a people were debating whether he yeah, did he
say that? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (49:34):
It was like Bruce Bruce, who do something to us?
Talk goes through us, girls do us, one of the
screws who meet Poppy and Puff.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
It was just love.

Speaker 10 (49:43):
He showed me he was a cool guy man and
I actually saw him smile and lad because I never
saw him smile. He just always had this like heart look,
like you know, he read to fight, but he was
really funny. It was fun to be around. So he
told you he was going to put you. Yeah, okay, okay,
that's how you know it was Yeah. I listened to
it over. I just kept coming back. I just I
just kept repeating it, listen to it old on and

(50:03):
that was love.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
That was real love. All right.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
We got more with Bruce Bruce when we come back.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, good morning.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
We are the Breakfast Club. Comedian Bruce Bruce is still here.

Speaker 5 (50:12):
Charlam now Out of Depth, Comedy Jam, Showtime at the Apollo,
and Comic View.

Speaker 10 (50:17):
Which one had the most impact on you? Comic View
Depth Jam first, Depth Jam was the start and come
on that we got to give it to Russell Simmons,
I mean, big up for him. Depth Jam was good.
But when I did Comic View, see Comic View started
out as Coast to Coast. I don't know if y'all
remember that they used to come out to your city
and come to a club and film you and then
take it back.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
And DL was the host, and he's.

Speaker 10 (50:39):
Like, look, went all the way down to Atlanta at
a club called the Comedy at Theater, and we've seen
this guy, Bruce Bruce and then showed me and I
did the Coast to code when they first started. But
I never forget the year that I host. It was
probably the best year for me that I have ever
experienced in my life. They went from ten ten million
viewers to twenty million viewers when the host, and.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
It was great for me. It was good.

Speaker 10 (51:01):
I made some money. They gave me money for wardrobe.
That's why I dressed in all them suits because I
thought I was a pimp.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
You know what I'm saying. I thought I was a
straight up pimp.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
Why do you help so many comedians? Comedians talk about
that You helped someone so many comedians in their career
and their life. What gives you the energy Because a
lot of people be like, I ain't helping him because
he might get bigger than me.

Speaker 10 (51:17):
But you you talked about so many communities. Oh my god, yeah,
but so many helped me. I never forget when I
first when I was in the comedy actre in Atlanta
and John Wierspoon came to Atlanta and he looked at
me and he say, you got it. He said, you
really got it. He say, I like you. So he
started telling me what to do and what not to do,
and he helped me, took me up on this way.

(51:38):
Ronald Alray did the same thing. He helped me on
BT when he was my calls. People don't realize that
Ronald Ray was a college professor before he started doing comedy.
He was extremely smart and he would tell me sometimes
he said, turn your body to the right a little bit.
When you tell that joke, it'll work better. And I'm like,
how's that gonna work better? And it worked better. And

(51:59):
then last are the Mohicans who really told me, say
you won't have to find her, and they will find you.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
His name was Paul Mooney. Wow, the legend Paul Mooney.

Speaker 10 (52:08):
He told me that Ridney Winterfield, y'all remember righting the
Winfield that my man took me And he said a
lot of these juggles don't like you. Just because you're funny,
He says, keep being funny, you're gonna be alright. Used
to call me do shows with him, you know, you
know back in the day, man, somebody say, Man, we
got to show paying three hundred dollars. I'm like, let's go.
You know these new kids now, he say, Man, I

(52:28):
got a show for you. How much you're paying?

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Hold it? Hold it.

Speaker 10 (52:31):
You ain't been seen walking by TV much less on TV.
So what is you talking about how much they're paying?
If I tell you about the show, I'm gonna make
sure you get paid.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Just that something you think social media helped the hurt comedy?

Speaker 10 (52:43):
Oh, he helped it, mane I wish I had social
media thirty five years ago. The only thing we had
was go in this city early through radio, try to
do TV to get people in there. Social media is
a platform that really helped a lot of young for
me is now now veterri comedians like myself. They get

(53:03):
pissed because all the new young comedians are coming up faster.
Have been doing comedy for twenty five years, thirty years,
and he ain't been doing coming with three months. I
tell them like this, you can't beat them. Joe want
to and they're winning, so you might as well fall
in the footstep. They are winning. But that's why them
young comedians feel like. That's why they're asking how much? Right,
because they following them. But then the only thing about it, Charlamine,

(53:25):
is when they do get booked, only thing they got
to say is what they did on social media. You
got to bring out more than that, right, you know
you got that's seven minutes, you got, oh it's five,
But what about this other twenty minutes they need you
to do. You can tell when a person is bombing
because they start talking real positive. You know, we need
to take care of these kids, man. You know, hey man,
support these women. Man, hey man, these women need to support.

(53:48):
They need to respect. They're bombing like hell, they're trying
to get positive.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
That's a favorite part of.

Speaker 5 (53:53):
A comedy show, you know what it is. I like
to see somebody trying to dig themselves.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Out of a hole.

Speaker 5 (53:57):
Oh my god, If you see me laughing really hard,
it's probably because you up there stinking.

Speaker 10 (54:01):
Because I remember seeing you, because I watch you guys
all the time. I remember seeing you on Ridiculousness. Right,
Chanelle West Coast, she made her so mad. You see
you was coming and say, I never seen you on anything.
I never seen you wrap with I rapped stoop, she
got they went to commercial. I think it happened twice
right now. I was just one she but do she rap?

Speaker 2 (54:24):
Yeah? I think she did.

Speaker 10 (54:25):
Okay, okay, but I didn't know it. But I looked
at you and I'm like, oh my god, she's pissed.
She got pitched. She moved that hair back the commercial commercial,
and she came back. She was gonna come. Yeah, we're
back here, trying to pissed her. I never seen your nothing.
I never seen you snoop, I never seen too short.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
I never seen you. She was pissed. I laughed so
hard at that. That was so good. How big of
a deal is it now for a comedian to have
a special? Does it even matter? Well?

Speaker 10 (54:50):
Let me you know, it's funny you said that. Man,
specials are good. I just got signed for Netflix specially okay.
And the reason, the reason I just took it, I
won't gonna do. I was gonna do it my myself,
like fmit, make them buy you know what I'm saying.
But they offered it to me. We're gonna do it.
We're gonna do it. I think around August, So get
you in Atlanta. No, no, no, no, no, We're gonna

(55:11):
go somewhere else. I want to go somewhere somebody to
think I'm a superstar, you know what I'm saying. In Atlanta,
I'm just average. That's up brus Man, you know, and
see me and the gro But I go somewhere like
Chicago or Texas. Oh my god, that's why I want
to go in Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
It's my city. I love it.

I still live there. And uh, I had a place
in La for like thirty years. LA's just La. You pay,
they make you pay for the weather, you know what
I mean. Everything is just so high. It's just ridiculous,
it is. I've got a couple more questions.

Speaker 5 (55:38):
You know, there's a stigma about black comedians wearing dresses
to be funny, having to wear addressed to get to
that next level.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
What's your thoughts on that. Well, you know, I'm gonna
be honest with you, man. I did it. I did it.

Speaker 10 (55:48):
It's funny you said that I did a TV show
that I take one time never came out. It's called
Bruce Bruce Bounty Hunters. I was a bounty hunter. I
played a bounty hunter. I played a preacher called Reverend
Get Money. It's Reverend Get Money. And I played them
mother named Mother Marshall, which was crazy, but Mother Marshall
was a real lady in my church that I mimic.
I cop it off for and I also played I

(56:09):
did it in Indianapolis, and I did not feel comfortable
in that dress, you know what I'm saying at all.
And some people could do it, some people if it
worked for you. Flip Wilson did it when he did Jeraldine.
You know, because Flip Willson Show was a variety show,
which I love because it wasn't a black show. It
was a show for everybody, and that's what people got
to understand. But if they want to dress up in

(56:30):
a dress, do you think you know? But that's not
my thing. Tyler Perry made it big. He's one of
the best. But to me, I love Tyler Perry. But
Joe is funny than Tyler Perry. Then, my dear, when
he plays Joe, Joe, it's funny. Joe had an oxygen take.
We're smoking with coughing, and I say, thank you Jesus.

(56:53):
You know what I'm saying so when he plays Joe,
Joe is the funniest dude.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
That's just me. Yeah, I love deal, but oh my god, Joe,
it's funny.

Speaker 5 (57:03):
And see back then we used to see people in
the dresses or even see like when they used to
do men on film on a living color.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
It was just funny. Thought nothing of it.

Speaker 10 (57:11):
Men on film was the thing when they talked about
Moby Dick, Moby Dick that gets two snaps and the
kids and around about twist, yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
The twist.

Speaker 10 (57:21):
Yeah, why do you have to say your name twice?
I got my mamma just called me twice. My mama said,
if I call you the third time, I'm gonna kid you.
So my mother said, if I call you three times,
you're gonna die today. And my mother was a little
one about one forty. I mean, she was just but
loving and knew how to make a way out of

(57:43):
no way. Most mothers do. That's why it's always good
when you do get successful and you start making money,
make sure you take care of mom. And one thing
you got to realize it don't take much like you
think it does. People think like your mama don't want
that much. She just want to make sure she's okay.
She's called comfortable, and she got a little money. My
mother last twenty years of her life. I made sure

(58:03):
she was straight, didn't pay no bills, nothing. But it
didn't take Muney. But then when your family members found
out about it, they started trying to use you too.
You know my mom going through something. Well, that's your mother,
this one is mine.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
That's true. Lead you have it's Bruce, Bruce. We've been
trying to.

Speaker 5 (58:21):
Get Bruce Bruce up here for a minute, man, because
you know I've always just respected you as a comedy legend.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Man, you an icon, So salute you, Bruce, coming, let
me respect. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Charlotte Lange
saying it's true.

Speaker 5 (58:36):
Yeah, Dongy today goes to a woman named Erica du
suit No, let me see this over. Erica Dosuza Viatri
new Nets. Okay, she is forty two years old and
was arrested Tuesday. Now mind you, she is in Brazil.
But the heat hall is global, and this heat hall
is warranted because about a month ago I gave two
Ohio women donkey today for doing something similar, and by
something similar, I mean using a dead body a corpse

(58:59):
to get some money out the bank. Because Erica was
arrested after taking her dead uncle to a bank to
take out a loan. She must have done this in
the afternoon because she clearly is not a morning person.
Let's go to Fox twenty sixth Houston for the report.

Speaker 12 (59:11):
Police, please say, a forty two year old woman named
Erica de Susa walked into a bank pushing the body
of a dead man. It was in a wheelchair. Susa
could be seen using the lifeless body like a puppet.
She attempted to nod the guy's head and make it
appear as if he were signing approval for a thirty

(59:32):
two hundred dollars bank withdrawal.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
The man is dead.

Speaker 12 (59:36):
Employees didn't fall for the antics. They got suspicions when
the man wasn't breathing and he happens to be pale.
Susa was arrested and now she's added to our batch
of crazy ass criminals.

Speaker 5 (59:52):
Fox twenty six Houston includes Mama Fox Crazy asking me, okay,
you telling it like it is. There as so many
reasons this is insane. Number one, you don't take a
dead person to a bank. Everyone knows that a corpse's
favorite currency is crypto. Okay, all right, she took her
sixty hyar old dead uncle to a bank to get
a load of three thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars.

(01:00:13):
Do you see the types of chances people are taking
for what some folks would call small amounts of money. Okay,
folks do not understand how bad a lot of people
are out here doing. Three thousand, two hundred and fifty
may be nothing to you, but three thousand, two hundred
and fifty is a lot of other people's life savings. Now,
the police chief said that the man was probably dead
for a couple hours. Can you imagine someone dying, your uncle,

(01:00:35):
your family member, and the first thing you think about
is how to get some money for yourself, no regard
for the life this.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
Man just lived. There is no way this man becomes
her spirit guide.

Speaker 5 (01:00:47):
I refuse to be one of your ancestors you call
on when you need spiritual backing if this is how
you treat my corpse after I'm gone. Furthermore, this has
to be some sort of necrophilia. You all know what
Necrophela is right. This is a sexual attraction the corpses
and I didn't know that. I wasn't looking at up Yeah,
aka to urge the crack a cold one open. And
whenever I hear stories of people doing anything with the

(01:01:09):
corpse except for taking it to a funeral home to
be laid the rest, then I think they're aware though.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:01:14):
Erica, during an interview with police, told officers she routinely
cared for her uncle, who was also debilitated. If that's
the case, if you was doing what you was supposed
to be doing, if you was treating this man right,
taking care of him, then you should be in his
will somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
Okay. Wills are a way for corpses to speak.

Speaker 5 (01:01:30):
That's what you create your will for to be able
to speak from the grave so the still living can
know what you want.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
That's why we call will's dead giveaways.

Speaker 5 (01:01:39):
Furthermore, whenever I see cases like this, I believe they
should investigate the call to death, because every single one
of these cases is like finding a cartoonist dead in
their home. It's very sketchy, Okay, Because if you willing
my corps to the bank to take money out, how
do I know this person bringing the corps to the
bank didn't none alive me to make me a cost.
Now this woman, Erica is being charged with fraud and

(01:02:01):
the beautiful corpse, and she should be because playing with
corpses is not funny. Okay, corpses aren't funny. They are
dead serious, and it's a damn shame people don't respect
the dead. But you know why people don't respect corpses
because we don't respect the living. To me, these stories
the prime examples of how we as humans don't truly
respect each other.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
Alive are dead.

Speaker 5 (01:02:19):
The bones of the falling should be treated with respect
and accorded the dignity that was their proper due. If
only the living were also granted such grace, what a
wonder our world would become. I got that from an
inspirational reel, you know those reels that have like the
videos of the waterfalls and beautiful greenery with the flutes playing.

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
Got my attention and I feel like it totally fit here.

Speaker 5 (01:02:39):
But the moral of the story is, if you want
to play with corpses, become a mortician or a funeral director.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
Jess Hilarius used to be one.

Speaker 13 (01:02:47):
I went to school to be a corner last Montestion,
and what happened I didn't make it through.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
How many jobs did you have? You talked about you
this morning at McDonald's now a court. I had a
lot of jobs.

Speaker 5 (01:02:58):
Inv okay, well, funeral directors and morticians. We need more
of those because they are dying professions.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Please, yeah, very much.

Speaker 5 (01:03:06):
Please give me a clown, Please give Eric noon the
sweet sounds of the hamiltones.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
You all the oh the day, oh the day.

Speaker 5 (01:03:32):
Would you like to know why if funeral director started
the podcast he wanted to talk about bodies of work.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
Very much, clown, I can't even believe.

Speaker 15 (01:03:45):
Yeah, I can't even believe that you would even be
really laughing at it anymore, not dying like what a
dying profession be with every day.

Speaker 13 (01:03:57):
So actually that's the reason why I wanted to be
a mortician. I was like, you know what, he's been
gonna have to stop, you know, don.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
So what made you do that?

Speaker 4 (01:04:04):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:04:04):
What made you say I want to be a mortician
because every job that.

Speaker 13 (01:04:07):
I kept getting fired from, like from people who are alive.

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
So you figure the day, Yeah no, no, but to
day will make you scharedule And I watched too many
movies and it's just like ghost and stuff like that. Yeah,
I believe in a bunch of stuff. And I was like,
you know, I can't have babies. Wow, because they got Halloweenie's.

(01:04:32):
You know what? All right? Alright, the Breakfast Club, Good morning,
the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
Only everybody is DJ MV, Jess, Larry Scharlamade and the guy.

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
We are the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 5 (01:04:46):
We got a special guest in the bellot because today
is National co Parenting Day. Yes, so we had to
bring in a man who I feel like him and
Jess have one of the best co parenting relationships I've
ever seen.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
Rome is here, Rome is here, I got a wow.
Well just saying I want to know who gave Room
some liquor this morning, and I was like, I.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
Ain't give it to her. I just told them where
the ball was. Help yourself, Help yourself, and you said
it was.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
You said it was apple juice, And so I was
about to take a step and I was like, it
was not. You already knew what an apple juice. I
just ain't thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:05:19):
Was gonna pick the cup up you and just have
the best co parents in situation I've ever wouldness, how
did y'all get to this point?

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
And she thinks she's my mother first and foremost. But
it took time.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
I felt like when you take the feelings out of
it and you realize that the child is the most
important part of the relationship, because it's still a relationship,
whether you're intimate or not, you can do magical things,
magical things. And I think that me being a dad
that I was and that I am still today, I
wanted that. I felt like we wasn't gonna be together.

(01:05:52):
It was no need for us to beef. We've created
over time. Whereas now she's my best friend, She's she's
my safe space. I feel like, you know, I can
to her because sometimes all the time I need it.
But I feel like when I was pouring into these
other women, they would use it against me.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
Mm hmmm. Whereas though now now that she's pregnant, I
don't really call her and.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
Say certain things because I know she's going through certain
things initially now so Jess is always in my safe space. Though,
so it's like she's always been a person that I
go to a call, give me advice, some advice.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
I don't take it, but just to hear, but just
to hear her give it to you, just to know
that she cared because like, I don't really have nobody.
How did y'all, how did y'all meet How did you
meet Jesson? How did y'all start dating? Back then? Where
did you see it?

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
When it was like, oh, this is this is somebody
I want to It's crazy because we grew up on
the smile. He's starting to smile.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
He goes back, No, because my mom, my mom was alive.
My mom down when I was ten. My mom was alive.
We went to the same church. My mom died.

eleven years twelve years ago, so I'm like, I don't know.
I did it because I thought it was it was corny,

It got attention. What do you think just when you
saw the basketball?

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):

I call the police.

Speaker 1 (01:13:28):
All right, we got more with Rome. If you don't

the guy we are the Breakfast Club is still kicking
it with Rome. That is Jess's baby daddy. Today is
National co Parenting Day, and they are excellent co parents
and we're having a great conversation Charlamagne.

Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
So now when you hear this story, nice and you
say to yourself, why they there on Nash no co
parent because they are like the best of friends.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
Now they call each other. Jeff calls you her brother.
How do you feel about that? How did y'all get there?
Do you look at her like your sister? You said, Mama,
I was.

Speaker 5 (01:14:11):
Gonna say what she said created that like my mother,
Like when we are of town and my mother, I
ain't gonna disclose too much.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
But she thinks she my mother.

Speaker 1 (01:14:19):
No, I just know she likes to control, like she
know how I am. Though like me and Alner, I
think part of that controlling part is like she cares.
And sometimes, especially when I'm under the influence, I've done dumbash.

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
So did did you know that? I don't know, just
assist in the back.

Speaker 5 (01:14:40):
Everybody like you know, everybody knows, but I hold myself
accountable to that mind you Now, I ain't gonna say
you I learned from Oneman sick because I did a
dumbash over and over again.

Speaker 1 (01:14:48):
But I think in that aspect, that's when the mother,
the mother with the v coming but the brother called
me brother and sister were like, honestly without the child.

Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
Like it is there. It seemed like Amazon cameras off,
like you can't fake this or make this up.

Speaker 13 (01:15:03):
Oh yeah, Rome started that room started calling me sis first,
and then I started calling him bro. I you know,
I'm like, yeah, we do have like a sibling dynamic
in some way. You know, he's still confides in my mom.
He like, my mom is our mother, Like it's not
it ain't nothing crazy, it's nothing intimate. Like seriously, I
always say this. People be like, yeah, right, I can

(01:15:25):
literally walk past and I.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
Don't do this.

Speaker 13 (01:15:28):
But what I'm saying, I can walk past this man
naked and he does They be like, girl, what like.

Speaker 2 (01:15:32):
Pick that out? I'm talking about seriously, like how not
each other's spouses or each other's boyfriend and girlfriend? Like
how do you deal with his girl? And how do
you deal with with she told you five?

Speaker 5 (01:15:44):
Okay, I never told you. He had always try to time.
It's cool though, it's cool five, But this is this
and now this was the friction part and we got
over that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:55):
But this the fri The friction part was my mom.
I beness, I'm getting her.

Speaker 5 (01:15:58):
But the friction part was her getting into minds. But
she's still a woman. I'm still a man.

Speaker 1 (01:16:04):
So women tend to do that. And this is not
no shame of women. I don't mean no disrespect by
saying it, but I think women tend to do that,
especially a woman that care about you. She said, sometimes
you make bad decisions and she's there as your sister
to make sure you're good, regardless if it's life relationship
or whatever. Correct with me personally. I never really like

(01:16:25):
I talk to about certain things. But I never really
like my family to get into no intimate situation. Yeah,
because guess what, y'all can feel a way about this person,
however I want, whether it's negative of good. If I'm
gonna deal with this person, I'm gonna deal with them
like the female can smash it out me yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
Mm hmmm. I might get over in front of them all.

Speaker 1 (01:16:45):
But it's like that's why I always That's how I
was always able to distinguish the two. Like when Jessica
will have men when she come to you me like
I don't know, Like I ain't never pillow talking or
sneak dis or nothing like I don't really care for
like it ain't nothing else to have that I don't
if you put it in that sense.

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
But when she comes to me with a man, I
tell her ain't right. But both of y'all got to
care because you're gonna want to know who around your
son she going. I never did, Yeah, I never so
in the beginning stage. Yeah, don't have my summer, but
I grew out of that.

Speaker 1 (01:17:14):
So now it's I trust my child mom enough to
she won't bring no fast around my child, so I
don't say, oh, don't have this.

Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
That's never been a problem. It has been a problem.
Was it was envy me.

Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
Except for my last dog. Yeah, my dogs who dog?
My dog, Chris, Chris, Chris my dog, my dog. I
ain't gonna hold he. I think he's the I think
like honestly, me and jess Man like, I think it's
been times where a woman didn't like me and her situation.

Speaker 13 (01:17:43):
But guess what, bye, yeah more so on and yeah
it'll be more so on his end because it's much
more of them. But the thing is, the thing is,
like I don't like when because I even tell him
what he's doing wrong to like, Yo, don't you her
like that?

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
This is how how how you going to introduce me
to it? Now?

Speaker 13 (01:18:04):
Now I done got to know where you know, and
whether she had a kid or not. Most of the
time it's the ones that have the kids. But it's like, yo,
you gotta be do right or just be single, Like,
don't keep hurting women in the process of trying to
find what you're looking for. I mean, I know that's
all a part of dating, but when you have kids,
it's different, you know. And then he be like, oh,

(01:18:25):
that's why I don't like you to be getting into it,
you know, And then I don't like he He attracts
a lot of talksic women to like abusive relationships where
women will put their hands on them.

Speaker 2 (01:18:35):
I'm like, what, all right? You know, but he don't.

Speaker 13 (01:18:38):
He's like, no, but I might be with of them
all what she just black? Trye, what are you talking about?
You know what I'm saying, like, no, we're not doing it,
but that black guy, Okay, well she busts your nose
whatever women have put their hands on.

Speaker 5 (01:18:55):
And that's why, and that's why she's my dog, Like
I think she's the only one really honestly, the want
to get the under my skin like it's a certain
wordplace she used and I don't care what tone she
used it in, but to say that, it's like I
was really never taught how to love.

Speaker 1 (01:19:10):
When I moved my dad, my dad moved my dad
and my step mom, which is my mom. Now, me
and my mom have a great relationship. That's my step
mom and my dad.

Speaker 5 (01:19:18):
Was married, but my dad was cheating, like saying, like
my dad, my dad showing me that I'm thinking cool.
So like when even when I started dealing with women
and stuff like that, multiple women.

Speaker 1 (01:19:33):
And all that, my dad was like, yeah, so absolutely,
and I'm thinking it's cool because that's that's that's what
I'm saying. I'm being taught like and every man in
my life that I looked at as a role model
me was the same way. So it's like what you expect.
But the good thing is now it's like I'm old
enough now in mind, I ain't perfect. Now I'm seeing it.

(01:19:56):
I'm trying to, you know, change it. But I've never
was to love properly, so and I never my trust
issues stuck from my dad because I'm seeing what he's doing.
But I'm saying when it's done to him, his reactions like, damn,
you were just doing this.

Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
How you gonna get mad? Right?

Speaker 1 (01:20:13):
So it's like every relationship I've went into, I had
an exploration date me, I put an X ray on myself.
I said, she gonna get, she gonna get get what
I'm getting.

Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
I'm gone.

Speaker 5 (01:20:21):
So I never really gave a woman the commitment, not
even commitment, but I've never give a woman a chance to.

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
Really love me. But even with the kids, like even
having kids, No, I haven't.

Speaker 1 (01:20:33):
And this is like I said, no distract to my children, moms.
A lot of my my children came out of vulnerability.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
Explain found on that, and I'm explaining that.

Speaker 1 (01:20:41):
So I will meet a woman who I may feel
like she's what I need, another safe place or whatever
the case may be. But I'm already vulnerable from a
previous relationship. I have a child, knowing I don't want
to be with this woman, but I feel like I'm
forced to be with it because it's a child, and
I've done that.

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
You know multiple times you needed a therapist, not another baby, Mama.
I need correct at the time of me at the
time in vulnerability.

Speaker 5 (01:21:09):
You know women, You know women, women can they be
masked up. But like I never really knew how to
be alone. Like I feel like I gotta have somebody
laying next to me because even before my mom died,
my mom is sleep naked. This is a back then thing.
How old were you with I was ten, but I
was a mommy's boy. Did you ever did you ever
really properly so grieving?

Speaker 2 (01:21:31):
No, I never really grieved. All I did was.

Speaker 1 (01:21:33):
I thought it was gonna help me by going to
school for social work, because that's what she was. But
I never really probably grieve, and that's a that's a process.

Speaker 12 (01:21:40):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:21:41):
I do want to get, you know, back in the gym.

Speaker 1 (01:21:43):
I do want to get a therapist, but I don't
want everything else around me to be intact so that
I could fully commit, because if I ain't fully committed,
it ain't gonna work.

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
We got more with Rome.

Speaker 1 (01:21:53):
If you don't know who Rome is, of course, that's
just Hilarious' baby daddy. And today is National co Parenting Day,

Today is National co Parenting Day, and they are excellent
co parents and we're having a great conversation.

Speaker 2 (01:22:21):
Charlamagne.

Speaker 5 (01:22:22):
How did y'all that's the most thing, the most I
won't say most important, one of the most important things.
How did y'all realize we don't have feelings for each other.
No more like how did that just go away? Like
y'all have y'all love each other, but not in that way.
I got my answer, you want to go first, you
can go first, because I'm still thinking when I stopped
caring about who she dealt with, when I wouldn't even

(01:22:42):
like I wouldn't even care, Like how long did that take?

Speaker 2 (01:22:47):
Three years? So like when Ashton was like three.

Speaker 5 (01:22:50):
Yeah, it was still really yeah, it was like three years,
but at that but honestly that three years, like I
had called her a big check, so it's like, you know,
I was almost half a million dollars, So it was
like the pain that I had.

Speaker 2 (01:23:04):
Whatever the case I would I would pay. I would
like just bout block it out. But other than that,
like you ain't trying to stunt on her a little bit? No, No,
I never, no, I never, no, I never. I'm waiting
for that. I never intentionally stunned on her. I never
did that. Never. I did everything she possibly could ask
me to do. And she said on.

Speaker 1 (01:23:25):
One of these souls something about a B G. E.
Bill And I'm addressed that I never wanted. I'm addressed
that now with the BI so so i'ma explaining her
lights got cut off.

Speaker 2 (01:23:38):
I got a five hundred thousand dollars checking Listen.

Speaker 5 (01:23:40):
No, it wasn't right then and there, but it's over time,
mind you, because you like mind A lot of my
places helped me.

Speaker 2 (01:23:47):
She helped me get a lot on the back end,
but in a time like I helped her. Whatever the case.
I didn't know she was moving with a man. I
didn't move with the man. Well, she moved man in
with her. Yeah, okay, after he had you and the
dog too in my business. So I don't know that
he's not there. So boom, here's his So here's here's
here's my logic.

Speaker 1 (01:24:07):
And i'm a say what I'm gonna say to her
after I explained it, my logic was all right, man
is in the house.

Speaker 2 (01:24:14):
Boom, eagy cut off. So she like was wrong. I'm like, well,
I take my son with me. But that wasn't me talking.
That was the girlfriend I had talking. Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:24:24):
I never told you that because as a woman, you
ain't trying to hear that, and I as well as
as a man, and you be and me, I don't
want to hear that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:31):
So I didn't want to tell you that because I
have felt less of a man, So yeah, but understand
if somebody else is smacking the cheeks. So the girlfriend
was living, so the girlfriend was like, don't talk about
no house ahead. So the girlfriend was like, I took
a certain amount of money out the bank. I did.

Speaker 5 (01:24:52):
She was with me, She like, why are you giving
it to Jessica. I'm like, cause she needed and she like,
I never said them here because I never said the reason.
I never said the reason. Yeah, yeah, I never said
the reason though. She was like, what exactly do she needs?
Because I know you ain't giving her. No, she don't
need a bag or nothing like that. I'm like, no,
it's something else. She's like, well, don't she got a.

Speaker 2 (01:25:15):
Living with her? In mind, I'm drinking at the time,
you're thinking the same thing. I'm like, you wasn't even
thinking that till she said it. I wasn't thinking that.
But I'm drinking, and I'm like, you know what, You're right,
Why you ain't that? Just though crazy people say because.

Speaker 5 (01:25:29):
I was a young emotional boy boy just ran into
a bunch of money, and with that, I'm hurt her
young man got a lot of money. Everybody me over,
I got some money I'm doing make myself happy, and
that's how I broke.

Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
Everybody except me, I was like and granted.

Speaker 1 (01:25:51):
Right now on today, I'm gonna say I truly, sincerely
apologized for not taking care of you the way I
should have. And I'm gonna take my glasses because for
a long time that hurt me. And it's like I
never ever, ever, especially I never ever ever ever meant

(01:26:12):
to do that to you. And it's like, now that's
why I even I worked so hard today and just
try to even just give you something. But in due
time that you come back, I ain't you know. I'd
have made that back when broke again, made it back
when broke again. But my biggest downfall the comments denominade,
it was alcohol and women. Them two problems never allowed

(01:26:33):
me to really reach my full potential, even when I
seen a couple of years ago. You've seen it twenty
nineteen when I was single, When I went moved back
by myself, I ran flourished.

Speaker 10 (01:26:44):
But if women holding me back.

Speaker 2 (01:26:46):
Man, I'm sorry that I didn't do what I was
supposed to do.

Speaker 10 (01:26:50):
And a lot of the mo I wasn't the job.

Speaker 1 (01:26:52):
The when you done, I felt that was my duty
but because I had certain people in my in my
ear that I thought had their best interest in me.

Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
But when the background out, they left. Yeah, I'm sorry.
I'm not a sorry person.

Speaker 13 (01:27:04):
I apologize, Okay, I appreciate that, And but listen, I
was not. I was talking to you, and he moved
in months after. You think he was gonna move into
a dark house. You think you think I wanted to
see how I was living. No, And when you said,
I asked you, like, yo, can you just get my
my lights on? I'll pay you back. That's when I

(01:27:24):
was scamming and doing all that shit. That got slow too,
So I'm like, all right, you was like, no I
take my son. Nobody taking my kid, not even as father. Like,
as long as Ash was instead of the dark, we
was good, you know what I'm saying. Like I still
had candles, we was playing, We was doing all that.
We would stay outside until it went until it got dark,
and then we were going to the house. And him
he ain't never asked me why the lights ain't coming on.

Speaker 2 (01:27:46):
It don't matter.

Speaker 13 (01:27:47):
So as long as he was good, I was good.
I just wanted to be able, you know what I'm saying,
and just be like, yo, get my life and you
should have. Well guess what that made you a demon?
And when I say demon, I said it in the
best way.

Speaker 10 (01:27:58):
That turned you up.

Speaker 1 (01:28:00):
And I got to teach my kid, especially my oldest boy,
my eleven year old bro, like I don't want you
to go through something bad to learn a lesson. I
don't think everybody should have to go through something bad
and learn a lesson. But in your case, I feel like, yeah,
I put that battery in your back. You know, when
that battery came in your back, you ain't it ain't
treat me no way. It took still a minute for

(01:28:21):
us to create that bond.

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
But y'all have it now.

Speaker 5 (01:28:25):
And I think y'all both should give each other some
grades because y'allah.

Speaker 1 (01:28:28):
Yeah, and I always was a hurt young man, so right,
But I love this story as it shows the foundation
and now and how y'all treat each other.

Speaker 7 (01:28:37):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:28:37):
You know, I don't know you, but the way she
talks about you on the radio, and and like you said,
she is a mother, she protects you, she holds you down.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
I just love to see it.

Speaker 9 (01:28:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:46):
No, sometimes I'll be telling us stuff talking about room
like that. He always did, like, why you be talking
about room? But I get it. She don't mean no harm,
but she don't like I said, man, like I wish
a lot of other people would take from us. And
that's why this.

Speaker 10 (01:29:00):
Gotta be on TV.

Speaker 2 (01:29:01):
That's why y'rell writing a book, book coming, everything, Book, Coming,
Everything Coming.

Speaker 5 (01:29:07):
I think the most important thing because I want you
all to save a lot of this. But what's the
most important thing. It takes the cole parent. If y'all
you're just leaving on that, because the national co parent.

Speaker 13 (01:29:15):
The day yo, I started off communication, Like a lot
of people be scared to hurt each other feelings, and
a lot of people be afraid to have uncomfortable conversations,
whether it's about kids, unhashed differences whatever. Like one day
me and Rome just literally met up and just we
just talked about everything that you know, he felt like

(01:29:37):
I did him wrong in certain situations, and then he
felt like like I will always try because he says,
I'm controlling a lot, and I do take that.

Speaker 2 (01:29:45):
You know what I'm saying, Yeah, I own that. I do.

Speaker 13 (01:29:48):
Like I was trying to control how he parents sometimes,
like how how he would raise ash and all of
that type of stuff. We just put everything on the
table and just just was like, all right, you're moving
forward because it's really about ash and that's really like
where we after that, it was like no looking back,
It's like all right, whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
Cool.

Speaker 5 (01:30:07):
I'm sure it's a discussion that will continue on, not
even just a monkst you know, just in Rome. But
it's a month anybody out there that you're dealing with
corpor ansing issue. But I think Rome, you know, Rome
is talking to a lot of different issues that a
lot of us.

Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
Men go through, you know what I mean. So I'm
happy that you was vulnerable this morning.
