Front Page News when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning, boarded everybody.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's d J n V.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Jesse hilrais Charlamage the god. We are the Breakfast Club,
Laura the Rossa feeling and for Jess. So let's get
in some front page news now. Last night Basical League Baseball,
the Mets one last night and also the year Ankes
won five to two. They both tied the series. Actually
the Yankees league won to zero. The Jets lost last night.
The Buffalo Bills beat them twenty three twenty. No, we're
(05:17):
still in the playoffs, not the World Series yet. Both
the Mets and the Yankees have to win this. Well,
this is the American League Championship series, so this is
right before the World Series.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
All right, all right, good morning.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Morgain, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
I can't hear Charlamagne, but I'm gonna go ahead and
not get too much into that. I'll let y'all figure
that out. So election day is about three weeks away,
and the candidates are out on the campaign trail. Former
President Donald Trump he held a town hall outside of
Philadelphia yesterday in Oak Pennsylvania, where he pledged to bring
down interest rates and not tax seniors on certain things.
Speaker 7 (05:52):
Let's hear more from Trump's town hall.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
We had interest Rachel two percent, and now they're ten percent.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Then you can't get the money.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
We're not going to forget the older people.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
By the way, no tax on Social Security benefits for
the older people.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
So Trump said at two percent, there was plenty money
for everybody that was under his administration. However, it is
important to note that under the Trump administration those rates
also rose point five percent since the Obama administration, so
rates have just been up since then period. Trump also
repeated the drill, baby, drill phrase, saying that they're going
to have or we're going to have so much energy. Meanwhile,
(06:32):
the Trump campaign also says the man that was arrested
outside of the former president's rally in California over the
weekend was not attempting to assassinate him.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
That's according to Fox News.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Police say them Miller tried to pass a security checkpoint
with the loaded guns in multiple passports, fake names, and
in his vehicle and then some Miller, who was released
on a five thousand dollars bail, told the Las Vegas
Review Journal any notion that he was planning to assassinate
the former president is quote ridiculous. The FBI, Justice Department,
and Secret Service have all said Trump was not in
(07:03):
any danger at that rally.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yeah yeah, weapons right, yeah yeah, weapons yay, ammunition ultime.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
So why would you just casually be there with that.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Chilling Yeah, supposedly.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
And then the other the other notion is that he
was part of the media. But I'm gonna go ahead
and reject that because what.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
So, let's switch gears.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
I want to provide an update following the aftermath of
Hurricane Milton and Helene. You know, they left a trail
of devastation and in western North Carolina, crews are still
working to restore power and some of the hardest hit
areas by Helen after the storm initially left a million
customers in the dark. Ashville in particular, was hit hard
by the storm after it may land fall two weeks
ago in Florida, and the cleanup may take years. This
(07:45):
comes as President Biden, of course, recently surveyed the damage
in Florida and announced six one hundred and twelve million
dollars for projects to help electric grid in the areas.
Help the electric grid in the areas affected by Milton
and Helene also a North caro, a North Carolina man.
He's facing charges for allegedly threading threatening FEMA workers. So
as a result of that, FEMA has been paused in
(08:07):
some areas, some areas of North Carolina as they assess
those threats that man has he was arrested, so that threat,
of course has been mitigated. And of course, in Florida,
Governor Ron Desanta says they're making progress on getting fuel
back to every part of the state. Desanta says the
state will help repair ports and other structures that.
Speaker 9 (08:25):
Hear more from him, more and more gas stations as
they get power also get the fuel. It's not one
hundred percent, but they're making good progress. Florida will provide
nine point five million dollars to jumpstart the recovery and
help repair the impacted infrastructure.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
Yeah, so, he said, free gas is available at twelve
different locations for people impacted by Hurricane Milton. He adds
that there are a three and a half million Arthur's
three and a half million homes, of course that have
had their electricity restored without with about ninety seven percent
of the state now operational. So okay, strides are being
made and yeah, but there are still about three hundred
(09:07):
thousand customers that still don't have power. So against strides
are being made, but there's still more work to do.
A lot of places say they could take years for
the cleanup regarding Hurricane Milton and Helene.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
So I'll keep you guys posted on that.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, So Luto I got family out in Florida and
Tampa and they were saying that they still don't have
power now and to actually get gas for they generated,
they have to drive an hour and a half to
get gas or where they drive that hour and a half,
they have to fill up like seven eight containers or
nine containers, because they really fill it up for the
whole block, and they going together and they have to
always come back and refill it every two three days.
(09:39):
So they saying it's still pretty fed up. They say
they don't see any FEMA. They say they don't see
FEMA at the local hospitals and they're going through it
right now. So they say, just continue to pray and
they're going to continue to you know, to make sure
that the elderly people in the neighborhood are good.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Yeah, recrudos to them for having community about it. So yeah, well,
I'll keep you guys posting. We'll check in with Vice
President Harris on the other side, or excuse me at
seven am.

is take them outside as long as you can in
the park and let them tie themselves out so when
they come home they just ready to do homework, eat
and go to sleep. That's what I do with my
kids most of the time. If they if they got

We've been complaining about this for months and months and

Speaker 11 (15:22):
It's your time to get it off your chests, whether

Speaker 2 (15:26):
So we put out to say we want to hear
from you on the breakfast class.
Speaker 15 (15:30):
Hello this man, how are you? This is internet?
Speaker 16 (15:34):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Answer that? Good morning? Get it off here chest.
Speaker 15 (15:36):
Mama, what's going on.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I need to just get a little.
Speaker 15 (15:39):
Bit off my chest about the school system.
Speaker 10 (15:41):
And about these parents.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Man, it's all about the parents. I need them to know.
Speaker 15 (15:46):
That they thoughts at home.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
The children are getting up the second or third grade
and they can't read the sentence.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
You're right, it's very yeah, this is this is a problem. Yes,
you know, you're right. Parents need to make sure that
they read to their kids, and they're more.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
There are a lot of time kids to drop the
parents to drop their kids off in school and expect
the school to do everything, but parents got to be
there as well.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
You're absolutely positively right.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
And then when you tell the parents about the kids
not able to read, they want to argue and fight
with the teachers.
Speaker 10 (16:15):
They gotta take accountability. It starts at all.
Speaker 12 (16:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
No, she's telling the parents that parents got to do more.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
They can't just drop their kids off and expect their
kids to be great in just school. They got to
make sure they reinforce some of the things that the
school is doing.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I agree absolutely.
Speaker 15 (16:33):
Then when I tell you the children can't read instead,
it's hurtful, like it's just I need these parents.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
To do more.
Speaker 15 (16:40):
So I feel like being on the radio. They listen
to the music. I need them to hit it. They're
getting up to second and third grade and they can't.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Read basic words. They excite words different.
Speaker 10 (16:52):
If they can't read, they can't write.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
And a lot of the kids what they're doing now
is they're actually voice talking into the phone, so they
don't even have to be able to type it out
because they just talking to the phone. So a lot
of times they don't know how to spell, they don't
know how to complete sentences.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
So, yeah, it happens. I see it. You know what
I mean, and that it's just bothering me.
Speaker 15 (17:09):
So I was rolling in the traffic a little bit.
I heard you say, getting off your chest.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I just needed to get that off my chest. That's
about it.
Speaker 15 (17:15):
Yeah, I have a black day.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Thank you, mama. Tone Good morning now.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Tone is the gentleman that caught last week that it
went viral, that was very upset with the politicians.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
He calling from Tampa, good morning to about you. How
are you hey?
Speaker 15 (17:31):
I'm feeling all right, man. I appreciate y'all for helping
getting that message out there. My moment their power came on.
Everybody power, my friends of Pemper. We all got power.
I still got a lot of friends that ain't got
power though, So I do appreciate the alignment and the
electricians that's out there, example really like working day and
(17:53):
night to get this power back home for people. But
my issue is I got another issue.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
What's up? Tone?
Speaker 15 (17:58):
Because the uh Kamala Harris with her plan for black men,
I just want to like, I want to say this that,
and I don't want to make it seem like I'm
coming at uh kamlad what what's on your mind? They
promised us that George Floyd Police and at four years ago,
(18:21):
that's gonna protect black people. That's that was gonna be
the black hate crime. From my understanding, we ain't got
that yet. So if we ain't got what we was promised,
what really drove us to vote for Biden and Kaplers
in the first place. If we ain't got what drove
us to vote for them, why are we supposed to
believe that she's gonna fulfill what she says she got
(18:43):
for black men. And it's stuff like this that makes
me not trust politicians because they love to say.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
What we want to hear.
Speaker 15 (18:51):
They treat us like hopes they treat our, they treat
they treat voters like we're hols. Tell us what we
want to hear, get what they want.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
We never see to Hold on Charlamagne. Charlemagne's on the line.
You might not be able to hear him, but he's
gonna respond. But also what we're gonna do, tone is
I'm gonna put you on hole. Charlemagne has He's gonna
be talking with Kamala Harris on a one on one today.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
We are the people.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
It's a town hall with Kamala and I'm gonna put
you on hold because maybe Charlamage might take some of
me your questions on the side, But Charlamagne, I know
you want to respond to him.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Hold on, tone. Yeah.
Speaker 13 (19:21):
The reason that the George Floyd Policing Act didn't pass
is because no Republicans supported the legislation.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
The legislation did not advance in the Senate.
Speaker 13 (19:30):
Like you know, you got to you gotta have byparties
and negotiations, you know, to get a lot of these
bills to these bill pass and like between U you know,
Kamala Harris and Corey Booker and Tim Scott, you know,
the bipartist and negotiations couldn't happen. So no Republicans supported
the legislation, it didn't advance in the Senate.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
But it's not like, you know, you didn't have.
Speaker 13 (19:49):
A whole group of people led by now Vice President
of Kamala Harris, that we're trying to get the actual
bill pass.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I do agree with tone. What I always say is, you.
Speaker 13 (19:58):
Know, you know why why volunteered a live like you
saw President Obama last week. One thing that he said,
he said, look, man, we're not gonna be able to
get everything done. But I think the issue is when
they when they when they put things on the table
that they know they can't get done, that's when people
feel disappointed, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
But I think that this is.
Speaker 13 (20:17):
Something that they thought they could get past with no
Republican supporter of the legislation.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
Nobody talk world Why Jess worldwide Mess on the.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Breakfast Club, the Coaches with Lauren Lauren, Lonrosa and I
got the mess talk to me.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
So Young Joe and t I were up here. They
were here promoting Droe's new song thank God, that he
has with Kirk Franklin. And on that song it talks about,
you know, just his struggles with sobriety, getting over to
you know, struggles with sobriety and just where he is
at now and during the conversation about sobriety. When he
was in here talking to us, there was an incident
that went down one of his homeboys. I was in
(21:46):
here a comedian I'm out of Atlanta named Kada. Let's
take a listen to it.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Actually, I overdose.
Speaker 17 (21:52):
I used this platform with with the Thank god, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Man, almost overdose.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Yo.
Speaker 17 (22:03):
I did all of these things happened. The overdose. My
daughter was on drugs. Career wise, I was aware. I
wasn't aware.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
What's up with you? Are you finna get slapped?
Speaker 17 (22:16):
I mean, we're cool, but I slapped laughing man, I'm
just I'm just telling you we cool, slapping.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
What you want to do, what you want to do.
Speaker 16 (22:26):
Don't let him take you out of.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Come listen, hey, listen, hey, both of y'all.
Speaker 16 (22:35):
Y'all, everybody came in with me. Hey, remember who you
came in and remember what we do with him? Man,
come on, man, get this together bro.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
All right now, KATEU did respond to one of the comments,
is the guy that you hear a comedian? Now you
hear Droe going back and forth before t I and
uh t I's manager k P intervened and trying to
calm it down, and someone basically commented and said that
it was found for him to be laughing at the
fact that Droe was talking about his daughter who was
going through her own battle with drugs, and Kateup said,
(23:05):
I wasn't laughing at his daughter. I was still laughing
at something that was said earlier, so he wanted to
clear that up.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
But you know, I think in the moment, being here
in the room.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
I could kind of feel that Droe was It's new
for him to be loudly talking about all of this stuff,
so I think in the moment he just, you know,
the he felt kind of it's not something he was
yelling at the top of the mountains about, and he
talked about that like kind of being ashamed of it.
So I think the joky jokes, even the laughing at
something prior to after whatever, it got to.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Him a bit.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
I think we all were a little bit like, whoa, okay,
what's so funny, and then it all that happened.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
So that's one of my worst fears, laughing at something
in my head when somebody's discussing something serious. Yeah, that's
why you got to you got to really pay attention
to the conversation. But I mean that was just a friendly,
a little friendly kurvefuffle, you know what I mean, Like
you're what Droe said.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Droe said, we cool, Yes, but I'll smacked it at you.
He was just setting the boundaries with his friend. That's
all he did.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
He did, and he later apologized for that during interview.
He did apologize and they left. They left with each other.
They didn't fight anything like that.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Yes, brother, we have the apology to Later in the interview,
Droe just on his own was like, I want to apologize.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
So let's take a listen to drow.
Speaker 17 (24:16):
Hey man, I want to apologize my friend. I got
beside myself. I shouldn't have took feelings to that.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 17 (24:24):
That's my mind back there, man, you know what I'm saying.
I ain't goinna be slapping no goddamn back.
Speaker 18 (24:31):
Listen, hey man, we all we all here together. We
came here together, We're gonna leave here together. We're gonna
grow together, you know what I'm saying. So you know,
I just had to make that. So we're gonna have
a good time, We're gonna have bad times, you know.
But one thing we ain't gonna have it no broke times.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
You know, d Draw is sharing things that he's never
shared before. And you know, when you're on your healing
journey is very very very tender, and it might be
easy to get in the booth and express it through song,
but when you're sitting down and interviews and you gotta
have actual conversations about things that.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
You know you've gone through like Droe has gone through.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Not only does it retrigger you and re traumatize you,
I can see why, you know, it would set them
off a little bit if you heard somebody laughing in
the background, even if.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
It's costs for sure.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
And when we talk about what he's been through in
the interview, you guys have not watched it or listen
to the full.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Please make sure you're gonna listen.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
He talked about overdoseing three times, and one of those
times THEMANI t I son is actually the person who
found them and basically saved this life.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
He performed CPR. Let's take a listen to that.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
He almost broke.
Speaker 17 (25:31):
You know, yeah, when I when I when I got
when I was up and I was came to I
was like, my chance is killing me.
Speaker 12 (25:38):
Like.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Age been nineteen. Wow, and you the money CPR?
Speaker 18 (25:48):
We all did so back, you know, back because because
my sister Precious had she used to asthma tacks all
the time, and so because she had admateur all the
time and she was living in the hour with up it,
then won't you know one of the kids, Actually, somebody
did did walk in while she was having an admitak
and didn't know what to do, and that would prompted
us to get everybody some CPR training.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
That's crazy because I've been talking about that for a while,
and that's the reason I wanted to know, because I'm like,
how did the money know CPR? Like there has to
be a reason I don't know CPR. I'm sure Charlemagne doesn't.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Do you know? CBR yourself? You know CB?
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Okay, just because you put your mouth on other people's
mouths doesn't make it CPR.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I knew you was gonna say that you want to
do mouth to penis recessitation. That's what you do if
you're going right below my belt? Gon my belt up?
Speaker 3 (26:36):
What are you over there exploring some things we can't see?
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Y'all?
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Why Why would I why he started it?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I don't know what you do.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
That's fantasy.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I'm over here talk about really you know, learning CPRSS you.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Over there out of breath.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
That's what you've done.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I've done CPR and the fake dummy thing before. I
don't know why, and I don't don't remember when, though,
but I remember, you know, learning how to do it.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, I don't know. I got to know a little something.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
I gotta have my whole family learn, just in case
something happens when I'm not home, or something happens to
me with your kids. And I was right, the fact
that this whole family knows, it's a great thing.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
You need to Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
I do want to say though. Drou was getting an
outpouring of love as he should online Monica's posted. We
are all proud of you for sharing your story and
your sobriety with the world in the hopes of saving lives.
You've always been talented for us. Many can't see you. Uh,
many can't see many can't see you. But that oh okay, sorry,
I can't see him as an artist, is what she
(27:37):
She left the ass off of that, so that confused me.
Many can't see you, but that's another conversation. Just know
the home team is proud. So you know, we all are,
you know, really proud of Droe. And as we were
sending an interview, he's here for a reason still, So
make sure y'all take a listen to the song, check
out the interview, and yeah, the moment happened, but everything's
all good.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
He just turned his trial into a testimony. Man, That's it.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
That's all it is. He turning his trial into a testimonion.
That's the beautiful thing of that moment. Right, even though
that moment, you know, people like the drama of it all.
When I watched that clip on a lot of different
places yesterday, they played the whole clip and they played
Dro still telling his testimony as well. Right, you know,
so even though you w even though you might have
tuned in because you knew it was some drama, you
(28:17):
still got to hear DRO's testimony. So so that's how God.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Works, all right. Well that is just with the mess

Speaker 1 (29:28):
I mean, you know, I look forward to talking to
the VP. You know, for folks who may be new here. Like,
you know, we've been having conversations with the with the
VP for a long time. Like you know, when she
was a senator, she came to the Breakfast Club in
twenty eighteen when she was running for president. You know,
she came to the Breakfast Club in twenty twenty when
she was VP. She was on my late night talk show,
(29:49):
The God's On is True. So you know now that
she's running to be at the top of the ticket. Yeah,
you know, we're sitting down having another conversation. And it's
just not even just to get black people out of
votecause let's not get it twisted. You know, black women
and black men, we are the number one and number
two voting block for Democrats of all time. This is
to get the white people, you know, energized as well,
because that's who we really need to show up also.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
And people can also submit questions right.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Yes, you can go to the talkback feature on the
iHeartRadio app. All you have to do is go to
the Breakfast Club podcast on the iHeartRadio app and you
tap the mic record your questions for Kamala Harris hit
sin and yeah, you might hear your voice during the
conversation with Day at five pm.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Okay, So yesterday Harris was she held a riley in Erie, Pennsylvania,
where she went after former President Donald Trump for his
comments on healthcare. Now she said she wants She said
that he wants to get rid of the Affordable Care
Act aka Obamacare, adding that that would threaten health coverage
for forty five million people. Let's hear from Harris in Arie, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 20 (30:53):
And he has no plan to replace it.
Speaker 21 (31:00):
Debate right, he has quote.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Concepts of a plan.
Speaker 20 (31:06):
I think in our collective opinion, certainly mine is an
unserious man.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
So the Democratic presidential nominee went on to say that
these consequences of Trump ever being president again are brutally serious.
He's an unseerious man, but the consequences are brutally serious. Meanwhile,
VP Harris sat down for an exclusive interview with Roland
Martin where she said the Biden Harris administration has done
a lot for Black Americans.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
She spoke about how her policies in contrast.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
To former President Trump, will impact black Americans, and she
bragged on the work she's done for black representation.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Let's hear from VP Harris with Roland Martin.
Speaker 20 (31:40):
Having the lowest black unemployment in recent history. The work
that we have done that has been about investing in
black businesses. The work that we have done that has
been about understanding the importance of having representation at every level,
including a black woman on the United States Supreme Court
for the first time.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Vote does matter.
Speaker 20 (32:01):
It is because folks voted that we have capped the
cost of incident thirty five thousan a month that we
are on the path to doing what I intend to do,
which is saying that your medical debt cannot be on
your credit score.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
She went on to say her housing affordability plan will
help generations of black families, saying black folks have been
denied the chance for home ownership due to a number
of reasons. She went on to say one of the
main drivers is the neighborhoods are being systemically undervalued by
real estate appraisers. Part of her plan also includes up
to twenty five thousand dollars in down payment assistance for
first time home buyers, and she also spoke with Roland
(32:36):
Martin about Trump's proposal to close the Department of Education,
saying that would hurt black children, specifically Harris would also
sit down for an exclusive interview with Fox News. Soon,
the network announced that Brett Bayer will interview the presidential candidate.
It'll air on Thursday at six pm Eastern from Pennsylvania,
another key battleground state in this election. It'll be her
(32:56):
first sit down interview with Fox ever. And of course
national have shown that a very tight racist between Harris
and former President Trump.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
So she is on a media blitz right now.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
Also, she is in the works with doing a interview
with Joe Rogan, who is like one of the number
one podcasters that he has a fourteen million or something
like that followers.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
And yeah, he's the number one podcast. And by the way,
I love both of those press hits. Those are two
press hits that I specifically was saying, you know, she
should have been, she should have did. She definitely should
have went on Fox News a long time ago and
mixed it up, and she definitely should she should definitely
sit with Joe Rogan.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
And I do want to salute man.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
You know, y'all should really go look up her plan
for her black male agenda because it's a really good plan.
And you know, the only bad part about this plan
is that everybody is going to think that this is
the reaction to the foolishness that President Obama said said
last week. But this is not like you know, Kamala,
She's been doing that kind of blackmail outreach for since
(33:55):
day one.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
Yeah, all right, well, let's bring things home to New
York Governor Kathy Hokeel and Adams. They marched in yesterday's
Columbus Day parade in New York City. Despite being indicted
on federal charges, Mayor Adams remains defiant in his ability
to run the city, despite others feeling he should step down,
and of course, Governor Kathy Hochel also said on the
parade that the parade gives a vote of confidence to
(34:18):
Mayor Adams and cleaning house at City Hall. Let's hear
the comments from them yesterday at the parade.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
If you could show me.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
That input, then we could have that conversation.
Speaker 19 (34:26):
But if we're just making this up because it sounds
good and people didn't expect me.
Speaker 11 (34:30):
To have this ability to continue to run this complex city.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
That's another thing I had asked him to work to
bring in new blood and new people to help stabilize
the city, calm it all down.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
And he's doing that.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Yep, he's doing that. And he's gonna stay ten toes down.
And he said he's not stepping down, but stepping up.
And that's your front page news.

I appreciate that man the first time when when you

Speaker 16 (37:38):
Uh, because I put a lot of them on stage.
I have a lot of comments there start.
Speaker 19 (37:41):
But I really appreciate that man, and and don't feel
no kind of way about it. I didn't take it personally,
but you know, it takes a special kind of person
to apologize and stuff like that I thought nothing of

Speaker 16 (37:55):
You know what I'm saying. But I love you.
Speaker 19 (37:57):
I appreciate you man. I think you're doing a factorless job.
I met you at the White House.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
See each other on the road every once in a while.
Speaker 16 (38:05):
It's a pleasure of me.
Speaker 12 (38:06):
You.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Well, you got a new book out right now. Side show,
Side Show? Now, talk about what's What's what? Side show about?
Speaker 19 (38:13):
You know the song everybody Parents, Let the side show begin?
Herds about a sad clown right. My job as a
professional comedians to go on stage and make people laugh.
And I lost my son about a year and a
half ago. It's been hard because the bills don't stop coming.
I'm still a performer. I still have to go on stage.
(38:33):
And I had to dig deep and get in some
real deep therapy to get myself together so I can
continue as a performer. Because if I worked at you know, Amazon,
lifting boxes or delivering packages, that's one thing. But when
your job is to make people laugh, when you're crying
on the inside with the trauma that I experienced, that's
(38:53):
what the song side show talk about. See the man
with a broken heart. You can see that he is sad.
It hurts so bad. And see the girl who collect
broken hearts. Assuming it it's all about a clown in
a circus performing, but dealing with stuff on the inside.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
I've watched you grieve out loud online and the only
reason I don't like that I have nothing to do
with how you feel.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Yeah, I know how people react.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Yeah, and when you're already dealing with something, when you're
already dealing with trauma, and then you give it to
people online, then they come at you.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
How did that? How do you deal with that?
Speaker 19 (39:26):
Oh?
Speaker 16 (39:26):
No, it didn't bother me, Charlemagne.
Speaker 19 (39:28):
My job was I had to help other people because
the reason I was opening with it is a lot
of mothers out there that lost their eighteen year old,
seventeen year old, sixteen year old, fifteen. My son was
thirty two. I had a couple that had lost their
two year old, righto. And these are that's some of
the things that I talk about in the book. It
gives you glimmers of hope and the glimmers of inspiration
(39:50):
even during our traumatic time. So my son was thirty
two when this couple sitting out here crying at my
books now and their son was only two. Wow, And
I could have lost my son at two, but God
allowed me to have thirty two years. So you get
a little gratitude from that. And it's crazy that you
can get gratitude from something like that, you know, and
you start looking at it's a helpful to The book
(40:11):
is a helpful too for people that's going through the
grief process because a lot of people out there and
my book sign has been packed with people that have
lost their kids.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
How do you still believe?
Speaker 16 (40:21):
Right?
Speaker 4 (40:21):
You talk about losing your father at the age of six, right,
and then you lose your son. How do you just
not say, you know what, there is no higher power?
How do you still remain focused and still have believe
and still have hope and still have all of that
going through the pain that you're gown.
Speaker 19 (40:34):
You know, I grew up in Birmingham, Man, so you
know I got that old Southern Christian background. I went
to Sunday School every Sunday. So I just have some
strong beliefs in a close relationship with God. Because it
was nothing and nobody to land on. I was in
an apartment in Dallas, Texas, by myself, you know, when
I found out that my son passed, and I had
(40:56):
an hour and a half. I had an hour to
make it to the airport, and I'm packing a bag
and on the phone with my other kids letting them
know what happened, and trying to get myself together and
preparing myself to leave.
Speaker 16 (41:11):
Because my family needed me. You know, it didn't really hit.
Speaker 19 (41:14):
Me until a year later, right, But at that time,
my son has a mother and a wonderful stepfather, so
I had to protect them. I had to protect my mother,
who was really close to my son because my mother,
you know, recovering. Adding my mother had thirty five years clean.
Had to protect her because they had a real special
(41:34):
relationship because she could identify with this struggle.
Speaker 16 (41:38):
Then I had to protect my other kids.
Speaker 19 (41:40):
I had two kids in college getting ready to graduate college.
My daughter that got shot, she was a senior in
college getting ready to graduate.
Speaker 16 (41:47):
Bail her.
Speaker 19 (41:48):
And then I had my son graduate in Alabama State,
and then my oldest daughter. So just trying to get
them and then come and say, hey, here's what happened.
Brandon didn't make it. I needs you to meet me
at the house immediately. Just real calm. I need you
to text me, let me know that you're on your way.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Text me.
Speaker 19 (42:06):
When just all of that, I had to be came.
I had to be cool. I had to get in
the car with my uncle's who was crying. I had
to turn the radio own R and B station. I
had to turn on Frankie Beverley and maids go from
the airport house. I'm comforting them because it reminded them
of my dad's death. So I'm just a child man
that sat on the front road and watch my grandparents
go through what they went through, and through my grandfather,
(42:29):
I learned how to handle this situation because that's how
my grandfather handle it as well.
Speaker 5 (42:33):
Losing somebody, especially someone so close your son, can it
changes you? Did you ever at first when you were
trying to get to that, like, I mean, I guess
I get through it.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
I don't know if you ever get through it.
Speaker 5 (42:43):
Were you afraid that when you got back on stage
that first time, that like you just it wouldn't be
the same, like your ability to kind of push through
and make people laugh with.
Speaker 16 (42:51):
And be the same you're thinking about funny. It don't
change you when.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
You want something to laugh at, especially in the trauma.
Speaker 19 (42:58):
Yeah, when your ass hit the stage, man, jokes come
them jokes, like when you get.
Speaker 16 (43:02):
Somebody on the front road laughing.
Speaker 19 (43:03):
My first show was in Cleveland at the Horrors Casino,
and I cried from the hotel all the way to
the venue, all the way backstage, blew my nose did
like that, made sure my nose was cleaned, and walked
on stage and got them jokes and cried after I
got off stage, and you know I was coming, but
I've been in therapy. I was getting therapy twice a week,
(43:24):
so I was prepared to go on stage again.
Speaker 16 (43:26):
My son died on a Sunday.
Speaker 19 (43:28):
That Wednesday, I was back on the radio, and they said,
take as much time as you need.
Speaker 16 (43:31):
Well, either you lay in the bed and think.
Speaker 19 (43:33):
About all of that, or you get your ass up
and go do your morning show.
Speaker 16 (43:37):
Go do your radio show. Because all the mothers in.
Speaker 19 (43:39):
Chicago and in Columbia, and in Charleston and in Atlanta,
all over the country their kids died too much as given,
much as required. You can't cancel the show. God put
you in this position and put you in a leadership position,
and you have to leave. And I still went to
the Salvation Army like I do on a regular basis.
I fed the this with my son clothes in the
(44:01):
car to go to the funeral home. That was a
dark Wednesday.
Speaker 16 (44:05):
I'll never forget it.
Speaker 19 (44:06):
You have to do it, all of this stuff, and
I don't want you to ever forget this, All of
this stuff in it is a test.
Speaker 16 (44:12):
It's a test. Our pastor has been teaching us that
for years.
Speaker 19 (44:15):
God is watching you through your struggles, through your trials
and tribulation, and looking at you, seeing how you're gonna
handle this. Are you gonna make it about you? Are
you gonna use this situation to help other people? But
I was still smart enough to go ahead and get
the help that I needed in the process because I
had to get therapy because it's trump.
Speaker 16 (44:33):
It's a bad car accident.
Speaker 4 (44:36):
We got more with Ricky Smiley when we come back,
Dope Move, It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning everybody, j
ND Jess Hilarious, Charlamage, the God we are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
We're still kicking it with Ricky Smiley, Charlomagne. How has
it been like?
Speaker 1 (44:49):
You know, because when you write these books, you put
a lot of you know, you put your most vulnerable,
deepest thoughts into these books. Then you gotta go out
here and do this. Yep, you gotta have these conversations. Yeah,
how been for you? I've gotten used to it?
Speaker 19 (45:02):
Okay, you know, once you know how it is, Once
you do one interview, you do another interview, you keep
doing interviews. You just get accustomed to talking about it,
and then you develop some really good talking points that's
going to help other people. Because what people have been
telling me is the feedback that I've been getting this Hey, bruh, it's.
Speaker 16 (45:19):
Been helping me out.
Speaker 19 (45:20):
You know how many people walk up to me and
said that they lost a loved one and they can't
talk about it. And just because they hear you on
the radio every morning, now they're coming out to your
book sign.
Speaker 16 (45:30):
I have people walking up crying.
Speaker 19 (45:31):
Almost ninety percent of the people that come out of
by the book have suffered a loss and can't talk
about it and do not go to therapy. So I've
been promoting therapy, because when you roll your ankle, you
don't pull out a Bible, you go to the doctor.
The doctorness Absolutely, the muscle. The brain is a muscle,
just like your ankle. Why is it that we black
(45:52):
folks as a stigma that we won't go get help.
Speaker 16 (45:55):
That don't mean that you're crazy.
Speaker 19 (45:57):
You have to get somebody and talk to somebody that's
going to help you process those feelings and emotions because
you can go into depression start affecting other organs in
the bodies. Some people don't make it from their loss.
Speaker 4 (46:10):
You know a lot of times people you know, we've
been taught as kids, you keep the home business in
the house, right. You never really talk about what happens
inside your house. Like you said, that winds up killing you. Absolutely, Depression,
that anxiety, all those facts, all those feelings.
Speaker 19 (46:22):
Every time you cry in me, do you know that's
like popping the cap off of a pressure cooker. You're
releasing I cried this morning. Yeah, man, I sat on it.
I sat on the side of my hotel bed. I
was having some anxiety. I called a good friend of mine.
She answered the phone. When I heard her voice, I
just started crying. I just let it out. I just cried.
I just needed to just cry. It was I felt
(46:42):
that building up yesterday and I just started crying. And
the changing of the season, you know, uh that that
affects you.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
Do you ever think about just giving away? Just stop it?
You know, like I don't want to do this anymore?
Was that ever a mine?
Speaker 16 (46:56):
No? Man?
Speaker 19 (46:57):
We got to say people, man, listen, some have to
die so others can live. You understand, you know, no cross,
no crown, bro. We have to go through what we
have to go through, and we have to talk about it.
And I'm sure just trying to break the generational curse
of number one not talking about it, not going and
getting therapy and getting help, and to talk about drug addiction.
(47:18):
I had a son and a nephew age thirty two,
and a niece. I had a niece, a son, a
nephew all died at age thirty two within two years
of each other.
Speaker 5 (47:27):
Can you talk a little bit about that, like just
in real time when they were here dealing with the
addiction and trying to help them through it and like
also wanting them to get better, but addiction understanding that
like it kind of takes over where it's not not
even just them anymore, Like it's kind, it's a big beast.
Speaker 16 (47:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 19 (47:42):
The only thing I regret I didn't have a good
understanding of the illness because I had a niece and
a nephew that was cool and common, respectful, but it
didn't affect my son that way.
Speaker 2 (47:53):
You know.
Speaker 19 (47:53):
My son would go off about stuff, you know, and
it damaged our relationship because I didn't understand, like, Hey,
I'm your dad. You can't say that to me. You know,
I'm driving around looking for you to fight you in
the middle of the street. You know, I raised you, I
cooked food for you.
Speaker 16 (48:08):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 19 (48:09):
I wash your clothes, you slept in the bed when
when it's thunder, Like, don't say that to me, you know.
So I just didn't have a clear understanding of that.
But I did everything I could to save to save
this life.
Speaker 4 (48:21):
Would you do anything different as a dad during any
of those times?
Speaker 19 (48:24):
And you know so, I like to that's that's a
good question. I wasn't tough on him. He was the
one that I caught him. I was tough on my
other kids, like I like the other kids was like
I was just really really really really tough on them,
and he was the one that I just kind of
caught on and did everything for and took everybody because
that was my first born. I just wish that I
(48:45):
was tougher. I know this sounds strange because it sounds
like I should say I should have been easier on him.
I was easy on him. I should have been tougher
on him like I was the other kids.
Speaker 5 (48:57):
And Chapter twelve Year Books The Tears Fall, you said
that it took you a year for all of.
Speaker 3 (49:03):
This to really like hit you.
Speaker 5 (49:04):
Yeah, what was that day like when you were like, hm,
I'm feeling it like that first time.
Speaker 16 (49:09):
Man, that one year anniversary.
Speaker 19 (49:11):
A few days before that one year anniversary, Man, it
hit me like he had just died.
Speaker 16 (49:17):
I had just got off the air.
Speaker 19 (49:18):
I was down in South Florida because I didn't want
to be in the house for that one year anniversary.
I just wanted to go get away, and man, it
hit me, man, and I was. I did some crying,
and I think it was a bad mistake for me
to be there by myself. But I just kind of
sat on the couch and just cried pretty much for
a couple of days, like like really cried because The
only difference was I didn't have a casket and some
(49:39):
flowers and some condolences. I had all of that to
keep me distracted when it actually happened, I had to
protect everybody.
Speaker 16 (49:46):
But that one year came in and it was like,
it was terrible.
Speaker 1 (49:50):
What about the chapter when addiction chases the bloodline? Was
that difficult to write because you know, you got to
go through your whole generational lineage with that.
Speaker 2 (49:58):
Was that a difficult chapter right now?
Speaker 19 (49:59):
It wouldn't just being open and honest. My dad struggled,
my mom struggled. I had wonderful grandparents. My granddad taught
to me every day church, Sunday, school. You know, hey,
here's a trumpet, play that, here's some piano lesson, let's
go do that. I did trumpet, little league football, did
it all. My grandparents kept me busy with the discipline
and destruction, talked to me every day so I didn't
(50:22):
have to I didn't have those issues. And then he
always talked about how my dad died, so don't do this.
So I just stuck with it, and to this day,
I don't drink or smoke.
Speaker 1 (50:32):
I always wonder how grief impacts people who lost their
parents at a very, very very young age.
Speaker 2 (50:36):
Does it hit you late in life?
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Oh, you see somebody out with their parents and it
hits you, like what is it?
Speaker 16 (50:42):
It did when I was when I was a kid.
Speaker 19 (50:43):
But what hurt me about my dad's death was watching
my grandparents cry like that on the front road. I'm
in therapy for that. That comes up in therapy. That
wipes me out. Wow, that wipes me out more than
my son's death. Why I'm my grandmama's baby, like you
understand you from the South, watching my grandparents cry like
that on their front row, Man, I can't get over it.
(51:05):
Even when my grandparents died, the only thing I could
think about. Their castle was in the same spot my
dad's castle. Well, the only thing I have to think
about was them crying on that front row April the eleventh,
nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 17 (51:15):
Wow.
Speaker 16 (51:16):
I will never forget it, man, It.
Speaker 19 (51:18):
Just it tears my soul out of my body. I
can deal with my son's death, but that's that's what
I struggled with more than anything.
Speaker 2 (51:25):
Wow.
Speaker 19 (51:25):
And that's why I didn't cry my son, you know,
because my granddaughter was watching me.
Speaker 2 (51:30):
I don't even want to traumatize her like that, like,
dang boy.
Speaker 16 (51:34):
Yeah, I'm not listening up here talking about it because.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
Yeah, well, let's talk about something else for a second.
Speaker 1 (51:41):
You put on a lot of comedians, Ricky, and I
think that coming from the South, right, I don't think
people realize how big you are sometimes like this, you.
Speaker 2 (51:47):
Know what I'm saying, Like, I don't think they realize
how how much money you got number one, but how
rich you are and just how big you are.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
And I think it's it's almost a stigma with comedians
from the South, like they don't get to respect that
they deserve.
Speaker 2 (51:58):
I think I just do.
Speaker 16 (51:59):
It for the love of the art. Charlemagne Envy.
Speaker 19 (52:02):
I remember cussing d Ray Davis out snatching a drink
out of his hand because he was too.
Speaker 16 (52:07):
Young to be drinking. Hey give me that.
Speaker 2 (52:09):
You know.
Speaker 19 (52:09):
I had a little comedy club back in Birmham from
the coomlostoone, so I would have like d Ray Corey
holcom Cory Hookman was like, hey man, I ain't never
been outside of Chicago.
Speaker 16 (52:18):
I'm like, okay, cool, let's go on the road. You know.
Speaker 19 (52:20):
I would take those guys on the road, Corey hop
them d Ray Davis.
Speaker 16 (52:23):
A lot of them, man, that Tyler. Some of them
have passed away.
Speaker 19 (52:28):
You know, I would just take him on the road
to help him, because that's what Steve did for me.
You know, nobody have to don't nobody have to fool
you know what I'm saying. Some people can just ignore you.
Steve was one of those guys, man that was helping
in training coming now I started November thirteenth, nineteen eighty nine. Wow,
that's the first time I went on stage. I met
Steve before he did show time to the Apollo.
Speaker 2 (52:50):
Steve's annoying. Man.
Speaker 16 (52:52):
Oh my god.
Speaker 19 (52:53):
Okay, well, nobody, you know, after the show, he said,
follow up, he said, following this car right here. I
followed him back to the hotel room. I sat on
the edge of the bed and took a little notepad
on the pencil and he lectured me for about two hours.
But that was something that was life changing.
Speaker 3 (53:06):
I will move.
Speaker 4 (53:07):
We got more with Ricky Smiley when we come back.
It's the Breakfast Club the morning morning. Everybody is DJ
and v Jess, Hilarry is Charlamagne, the guy. We are
the Breakfast Club lawn. The roaster is filling in for
Jess and we're still kicking in with Ricky Smiley.
Speaker 2 (53:20):
Lauren.
Speaker 5 (53:20):
Now, you were talking about Steve Harvey and how he
gave you opportunities.
Speaker 3 (53:23):
I want to know who do you do that for that?
Speaker 5 (53:26):
Because you talk a lot about people that you mentor
and you help, but like, who's somebody that you do
that for that, Like we might not know about that
might have started in your clubs are just unknown and
now it's like taking over comedy wise.
Speaker 19 (53:36):
Oh man, a little duvon with somebody that I that
I have a real good relationship with that I was
doing some you know, mentorship because remember I was the
host of Company View in two thousand.
Speaker 1 (53:47):
With a lot of people mentor just by being on
that show, right right, that's what That's what eighty five.
Speaker 2 (53:53):
So that I'm.
Speaker 19 (53:54):
Tripping, like like Carlos Miller was like, bru, I met
you when I was fourteen years old.
Speaker 16 (53:59):
You was the hotel. I got excited. I'm hearing these
stories and stuff.
Speaker 19 (54:03):
Man, not realizing the impact on comedy because I'm gonna
be et Monday through Saturday. Like when Comic View really
blew up, it was in Atlanta, and then I hope
that again Charlotamagne in two thousand and four, and then the
year after two thousand and two thousand and one, I
had my own little TV show, The Way We do
It use first time, you know, And I was doing
all these characters and all these voices and all this
(54:25):
kind of stuff. So when comics needed help and needed mentorship,
I would always, you know, hey, dress nice, Hey, stop cursing.
Does that curse word make that joke funny? Are you
cursing just to be cursing? That's the real thing. I
just had that conversation with a comic. I said, hey, man,
you curse too much. The cursing is not making the
joke funnier. But if the curse word is a part
(54:48):
of the punchline, then use it, I said. Because it's
like I give the onion example, Like, like you eat
an onion, it's nasty, but if you take it and
chop it up in sauteed and get some flour on it,
and you're still eat an but you can't taste it.
It's just an analogy that I use with comings and
I make them redo the joke, and that's like, damn,
you did the same joke and got the same laugh.
(55:08):
Got a bigger laugh because people are not offended.
Speaker 2 (55:11):
Now, there was a rumor that in your contract he
said that you had to wear a dress.
Speaker 16 (55:15):
Oh man, I don't pay that stuff.
Speaker 19 (55:18):
Damn so so so I then I started doing comedy
eighty nine. Man, you think there's a contract somewhere. I'm
just I know that.
Speaker 16 (55:36):
That didn't bother me. What bothered me was when people
believed it.
Speaker 5 (55:40):
Oh yeah, they did, because it's always been that thing
about the wear of the dress, to not wear the dress.
Speaker 19 (55:44):
It's comedy. Listen, it's comedy. I grew up watching Flip Wilson.
Flip Wilson is the.
Speaker 16 (55:51):
Greatest of all time. And right when you laughing.
Speaker 19 (55:55):
At Lilip Wilson, he turned around to do Gerald and
My I'm gonna sit down and watch that with my grandmother.
Speaker 16 (56:00):
My characters came.
Speaker 2 (56:01):
Man.
Speaker 16 (56:01):
I was doing prank phone calls on the radio.
Speaker 19 (56:03):
I was doing Bernie Jenkins, And whoever would have thought
a character that you do on the radio calling funeral
homes and all this stuff turned into a character, and
somebody asked you to play the character in a movie.
You know, it's funny that all that stuff is taboo.
Speaker 1 (56:17):
Now you feel like he was clearing the record on
because I think he or was it that he was
supposed to play a role.
Speaker 19 (56:22):
You said, well, what I did when I went out there,
I auditioned for that part, and that's what I really
auditioned for.
Speaker 16 (56:29):
I didn't audition for the Santa Claus. If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 19 (56:32):
The Santa Claus role was supposed to be for what's
his name he played in the First Friday, the comedian
that passed.
Speaker 2 (56:37):
Away A Johnson.
Speaker 16 (56:40):
I think A J. Johnson was supposed to play and
this is.
Speaker 19 (56:44):
What what I heard or whatever, and they put me
in that role because at that time I was on
beet and stuff like that. But I did audition for it.
That's what I went out there and read for. My
manager at the time came on the air cleared that up.
Speaker 2 (56:57):
But q Q class fighter too.
Speaker 1 (56:59):
I said that you did audition for money, Mike, but
when they saw how you moved, they thought you'd be
better for.
Speaker 2 (57:04):
Santa Claus exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 16 (57:06):
And I don't have have no beef. I love everybody.
Speaker 19 (57:09):
If there is an opportunity to resolve the rap beef
and stuff with the rappers getting killed, I don't want
comedy to ever come to that. You know, that's not
what I do. That's not how I was raised. You know,
we're from the South and we just don't.
Speaker 16 (57:23):
We don't. We don't do that.
Speaker 2 (57:24):
What do you love more? Standable radio?
Speaker 16 (57:26):
Oh? Oh, goddamn, that's a good question. Radio don't give
you butterflies.
Speaker 19 (57:32):
Radio is just sitting in here, like right now, I'm comfortable,
it's cool or whatever. Stand up gives you a little
bit of anxiety because you got to perform. You got
to go out there. People pay money to see you perform.
But my stand up is being great. I'm probably funnier
than I ever being. I got a special coming out.
We in negotiation with Kevin Art right now to release
(57:52):
a comedy special. Oh yeah, I haven't been done a
comedy special in like twelve years. But it's funny as hell.
It looks it's gonna be funny. It's gonna be all
over the place.
Speaker 3 (58:02):
Recently shot stuff.
Speaker 16 (58:03):
Yeah, I just recently shot it.
Speaker 2 (58:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 19 (58:05):
I paid for it myself and I just went on
stage and killed the ass. So I'm really excited about that.
Speaker 3 (58:11):
And what made you? I mean, Kevin Hart is Kevin Hart.
Speaker 5 (58:13):
But a lot of people go to Netflix too, like,
how did you decide where you were gonna who was
gonna house it?
Speaker 19 (58:17):
Well, we're gonna we're gonna see we in the negotiation now.
Because I just did an interview with Kevin Hart and
he asked me about the space, I like, I just
shot one. I said, you wanna you want to present it? Okay,
started starting that.
Speaker 16 (58:28):
Yeah. Yeah, he's a good friend of mine. I absolutely
love him.
Speaker 19 (58:31):
Great dude, A great dude, Kevin Man, Jamie Fox, all
of them have been good to need my whole career.
I didn't I didn't know Eddie Murphy was a fan
that I met Eddie Murphy at his house or whatever.
Speaker 16 (58:44):
Went over there one day.
Speaker 19 (58:46):
I had a meeting with Tracy Edmonds, I think they
were dating at the time, and she said, ed play
your prank phone calls the line, I.
Speaker 16 (58:51):
Look like you lying?
Speaker 2 (58:53):
Are you seriously?
Speaker 19 (58:55):
And I ended up going over there and there's some
comments over there and we had Barbie chicken, collar greens, cornbread,
macaroni and cheese.
Speaker 16 (59:04):
It was like we had some real soul. And that
was my first time to meeting Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 1 (59:07):
Man.
Speaker 19 (59:07):
That was that was a pleasure. So that when you
get to do stuff like that. And I'm on tour
with Martin Lawrence right now, so that's my big brother.
Speaker 2 (59:14):
So the funny thing is you talk like you not
wanted you not wanted them.
Speaker 1 (59:17):
You in a conversation.
Speaker 19 (59:21):
I'm just just humble, man. I'm still like I kind
of still feel like I'm kind of like just still
young and in the game, because I feel young.

Another day, another Diddy lawsuit. So today, as of today,
there have been six lawsuits filed out of that one
hundred and twenty group lost suit thing that was supposed
to happen on behalf of Tony Busby in his legal offices.
(01:02:04):
That's the attorney that held that big press conference basically
telling people, you know, if you've had any issues with
Shawn Colms or anyone related to him, to give them
a call because they would represent you. So in these filings,
these six filings, there are two women that filed as
Jane does, and there are four men that filed as
Jane does.
Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
Now.
Speaker 5 (01:02:23):
One of the women that filed says that she was
on the set of Biggi's Walmart Chance video when her
head was She alleges her head was slammed against the
wall and then she was allegedly raped. The second woman
says she was one of two women who were sexually
assaulted allegedly by Diddy after a photo shoot for his
group The Band, and she alleges that she was made
(01:02:44):
to perform oral sex or she was threatened that she
would be killed. Now, in another lawsuit, there is a
man that claims he was working for Echo clothing line
back in two thousand and eight and he knew Didd
he kind of in passing because did he at the
same time was building in the marketing Sean John Now
in May two thousand and eight, this man is claiming
that he ran into Diddy in three bodyguards in the
(01:03:04):
stock room of Macy's flagship store in New York and
as someone pistol hpped him from behind, so they pistol
whip the back of his neck and he fell to
a Santanese He then says he then claims that Didd
he approached him and said, I don't think I can
say this, is it technical?
Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
Is a criminal terms? Smd Oh?
Speaker 5 (01:03:23):
Did he approach him and said smd Echo? He called
him Echo because that's the brand that the.
Speaker 16 (01:03:30):
God was.
Speaker 5 (01:03:31):
Yes, did he allegedly approached him and said that, and
then yeah, he called him The clothing line that he
was working for because they were competing brands is with
the Losses. And then this man alleges that Didd he
brutally orally raped him Jesus Now. In another lawsuit, Macy's
in the stock room allegedly, and another lawsuit, a man
(01:03:53):
claims that he was working for He was working security
for Diddy's two thousand and six White Party, and he
alleged when he got there, he had a drink and
that the drink was lace with either gb H or
and ecstasy. He also alleges that Diddy, after you know,
he started to get disoriented a bit, forced him into
a van, overpowered him, and allegedly sexually assaulted him. He
(01:04:15):
inserted his male private area into the man's behind area
and sodom I can say, let me see can I
say this one? And sodomized him allegedly. This man also
alleges that the rape resulted in can I say this
is what results from two people interacting sexually?
Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
Charlemagne loved that? Go ahead?
Speaker 5 (01:04:38):
Okay, So this man also alleges that the rape resulted
in seeming linking leaking out of his body. Now, another man,
I thought, you're.
Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
Trying to be funny.
Speaker 16 (01:04:50):
What are you?
Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
I hear you a little comments.
Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
You can never shut up because if that was if
she was talking about women, you wouldn't be making these
little sny remarks.
Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
Nobody ever takes it.
Speaker 5 (01:04:59):
Thereous when it's the main We can't see you, we
can't see you. I can't see you in a skybox.
So you gotta let us know if you are right
over there.
Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
Okay. So.
Speaker 5 (01:05:06):
Another man alleges that he went to a Diddy party
in October twenty twenty one. He became oriented, disoriented after
one drink, allegedly, and the room started spinning. He says,
next thing you knew, he woke up in a bedroom
and he felt paralyzed. He alleges that three men sexually
assaulted him through sodomy and other forced acts. He says
(01:05:27):
allegedly that he distinctly recalls seeing Diddy naked above him,
naked above him during one part of the assault. It's
not funny, but you this is.
Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
Comes to Nobody takes me.
Speaker 5 (01:05:42):
No, you don't see how envy is sitting in here.
Look like I'm trying to want to look at him.
I'm glad you can't because he's making it.
Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
Disgusted. I'm disgusted.
Speaker 5 (01:05:50):
I don't know what is going on your face. Don't
look at me, so Diddy's attorneys. I'm sorry, wait, there's
one more man, and I'll talk about Didt's attorney's response.
So Diddy's attorneys are are responding to all these these
different allegations. But there's one last person, a sixteen year
old or a man who says he was sixteen years
old at the time when he went to a Diddy
white party and the Hamptons and this is back in
(01:06:11):
ninety eight. Now, he alleges he was there, him and
Diddy took a photo together. The photo is in the lawsuit.
They're just standing in all white in the middle of
like looks like like a lawn or something. He says
that him and Diddy during the party stept the way
to have like more of a private conversation because this
person at the time was trying to work in music.
And he says that he alleges that Diddy was telling
him stuff like this guy has the right look for
(01:06:33):
the industry.
Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
He can be made a star with Diddy's help.
Speaker 5 (01:06:36):
And then he claims that Diddy allegedly told him to
drop his pants so he can expect his private areas. Now,
he says that Diddy allegedly said to him, this is
a rite of passage.
Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
Something he had to do in order to break into
the industry.
Speaker 5 (01:06:48):
The man says that he then drops his pants and
he alleges that Diddy began to cut and.
Speaker 3 (01:06:54):
Squeeze and.
Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
Make any sense, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (01:07:01):
Now, Diddy's these team is firing back at this and
they're saying that all of this is BS, that this
is all being done, including that big press conference that
Tony Buzby's team had, This is all being done to
garner publicity. And they're saying in court the truth will
prevail and that mister COLMBS has never sexually assaulted anyone
adult or minor, man or woman.
Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
This is another.
Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
Day, but that's the same thing they said when the
when the when Cathy made her allegations. You know, Diddy
has never done X, Y and Z. But then a
video drop, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (01:07:33):
But how But what's the statute of limitation when it
comes to assault, Because you said the one dude was
one person was assaulted and there one more chance video
which was nineteen ninety four. It was the woman the woman,
so that was thirty years So the statute of limitation
is never over when it comes to those things.
Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
I'm just curious because I thought I also different.
Speaker 5 (01:07:51):
Wasn't there like an act or something that allowed for
a lot of these that was.
Speaker 4 (01:07:54):
A sexual assault, not for just regular assault. Cause she
said no, she said she was sexual assault as well.
Oh wow, she said she was right.
Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
I can also I wonder about the man in the
stock room too, because if this man got pistolhiped from
the back and penis whipped in the mouth in the
stock room in Macy's, this should be camera footage, right,
because there's camera.
Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
There's cameras in these stock.
Speaker 4 (01:08:12):
Rooms, right, it should be an amazing yeah, and the
stock But if they still have the footage for thirty
years ago, that's a long time. Like some of these cases,
like the guy that said somebody put something in a drink,
Like how would they know, Like they don't have that
drink from thirty years ago to test to see if
something was actually in his drink. It's just it's hearsay,
a lot of it, you know. So the Macy's case
was from thirty years ago.
Speaker 5 (01:08:32):
Yeah, that Macy's case. Let me go through all the
cases that Macy's case was in.
Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
It had to be when Echo was popping. It had
to be like twenty years ago.
Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
Right, he said this was made two thousand and eight
May two thousand and eight.
Speaker 5 (01:08:45):
Yep, he said he's working for clothing line in two
thousand and eight when he ran it. Yeah, he ran
into them in the stock ruld.
Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
I wonder if they keep the footage and things like
that for that long. I wonder.
Speaker 5 (01:08:55):
I don't know how you prove any of this, but
I did. It was to me. I was wondering, like,
of all one hundred and twenty people, how do you
know that this sixth are the first to file?
Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
So I did reach out to actual evidence, right, because
you would need hard evidence to see what it was.
Speaker 6 (01:09:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:09:08):
I did reach out to Tony buzby Seeing to ask
that question, just because I'm trying to understand more of
that as well too. So you know tomorrow we'll be
back with more. And he hasn't gotten back to the team,
hasn't gotten back.
Speaker 3 (01:09:17):
To me yet.
Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
Yes, all right, all right, well thank you for just
with the mess for long.
Speaker 4 (01:09:23):
Roll So Charlamagne, get a wall right here? Yes, who
are you giving that donkey too?
Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
We need Cobb County Sheriff Craig going seeing you to
come to the front of the congregation.
Speaker 4 (01:09:31):
We'd like to have a word with him. Please, all right,
we'll get to that next. It don't go anywhere. It's
the breakfast club.
Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
Good morning.
Speaker 16 (01:09:37):
Your execution on the Donkey of the day is something to.
Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
Go hold you the reason he gave me dounky other day,
and I deserve that.
Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
You need to know.
Speaker 3 (01:09:45):
You need to tell them, I am you have the war.
Tell them.
Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
It's time for Donkey of the day. It's a read.
But you're so good at Charlamagne. You want Charlamagne.
Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
That's who is even dusky other day to now well,
sexy red donkey today for Tuesday, October fifteenth, goes to
a Cobb County sheriff named Craig On Senior. Now, I
want the record to show that I believe in body
cameras on police officers. Why do I believe in body
cameras on police officers Because of transparency and evidence, okay.
Body cameras provide an objective record of police interactions with
(01:10:21):
we the people, okay, which can help build trust and
accountability or can make us distrust offices more because oftentimes
we see police doing us dirty on the body cameras
and there's still no accountability. Even though, as I said before,
body cameras are supposed to serve as evidence because body
camera footage can be used to verify witness and officer
testimony and as evidence in criminal cases. But more often
(01:10:42):
than that, the footage doesn't lead to anything happening to
officers criminally. Okay, it helps folks get paid in civil cases. Sometimes,
you know what, I just changed my mind. I have
no idea why I believe in body cameras, but I
would rather the police officers wear them anyway. But today
is a prime example of why body cameras don't really
change anything because some police officers.
Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
Simply don't care.
Speaker 1 (01:11:02):
And Craig owing Senior is an officer who doesn't care
because Craig Owen Senior is an abuser of power. Okay,
he is going to abuse that power regardless of who's watching.
And that's exactly what Craig Owen Senior did abuse power. See,
abusers always want to have it their way, and one
of the greatest places to have it your way is
Burger King. Is that still Burger King's slogan? You have
(01:11:24):
to forgive me. I was born in nineteen hundred and
seventy eight, so when I think my way. I think
Burger King, Frank Sinatra and Usher. So, kids, if you
have no idea what Huncle's currently talking about, asking your
mother and your father. But habit your way was the
slogan for Burger King back in the day. I don't
know what Burger king slogan is now. But Craig Going
Senior is an old head, a sheriff who abused his
power because he went to Burger King and he was
(01:11:45):
highly upset that he couldn't have things his way. See
Craig Going Senior went to Burger King and he ordered
a whopper no man AI's cutting half and well Burger
King got his order wrong. And after Burger King got
his order wrong, this is what Sheriff Craig Owns sen
you decided to do. Let's go to WSBTTV Atlanta for
the report.
Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
Please.
Speaker 14 (01:12:05):
We're launching from the vantage point of three Cock County
deputy who showed up after Sheriff Craig Owens called them
to Burger King.
Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
Is their owner name or whoever owned these? Damn the
spillits other manager.
Speaker 14 (01:12:19):
He tells the deputies, Burger King's staff got his order wrong.
I'm right, Three deputies go to the door and they
were so concerned that they locked the doors. Staph give
the deputies names and they bring it out to the sheriff.
Speaker 7 (01:12:34):
The video is from twenty twenty three.
Speaker 14 (01:12:36):
Sheriff Craig Owens is running for re election this year,
and his opponent, David Cavender, first posted it online overnight.
Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
I think it is an abusive power.
Speaker 14 (01:12:45):
Mc donald Inger is running his chief deputy and called
it intimidation and a waste of resources. If I don't
get ketchup on my whopper, do I get to.
Speaker 3 (01:12:54):
Call police officers with sirens?
Speaker 14 (01:12:57):
The sheriff argues he never told Stapf his position in
power and never ask deputies to do anything they would
not do for anyone else.
Speaker 16 (01:13:04):
Tell what would no.
Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
I just told him.
Speaker 1 (01:13:09):
If he did that for Burger King, imagine what he
would do for Chick fil A. Sheriff Craig owing Senior
went to Burger King order the whopper. No man is
cutting half and when they got his ordar wrong, he
called back up. He called his deputies to pull up
to get the manager's information. There's nothing I love more
than the audacity of humans. We are a ridiculous species. Okay,
No wonder aliens hide from us. You know how when
(01:13:31):
you don't want to be seen, you don't want to
speak to nobody, you just try to creep in and
creep out, try to stay low.
Speaker 2 (01:13:36):
That's how extraterrestrials treat us, and I don't blame them. Okay,
this is.
Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
A sheriff, the boss, the chief law enforcement officer. If
aliens came back and said, take me to your leader,
this is one of the people they would take them
to in Cobb County.
Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:13:48):
This man is a chief law enforcement officer for a
county and he didn't get his whopper no mayo cut
in half, so he called his deputies.
Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
Cob County almost be the safest place in America.
Speaker 16 (01:14:00):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
If this is a pressing issue for your sheriff, I mean,
there must not be no real crimes being committed in
Cobb County. Cats don't climb trees anymore. Nobody pig got
out the pin. No goats wandering the Cobb County streets.
Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
Huh. You mean to tell me.
Speaker 1 (01:14:14):
That things are so sweet in Cobb County that an
officer can call deputies to a burger king just so
he can get the manager his name, because they didn't
get his order right. This man done traumatized the whole
staff of Burger King employees.
Speaker 2 (01:14:25):
They and the Burger King.
Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
Locking the doors scared to death because they don't know
why y'all coming in here so deep, and y'all coming
in there deep because your leader didn't get a whopper,
no male cut in half.
Speaker 2 (01:14:37):
Even that's the cheese, bro. I know why you didn't have.
Speaker 1 (01:14:40):
The cheese too, because your lactose intolerant like me, that
cheese will bring your bows to a complete stop and
give you a little dairy pimple to too. So I
feel your pain, and I really don't have anything left
to say here except for let's play a.
Speaker 2 (01:14:49):
Game of guess what race?
Speaker 14 (01:14:55):
All right?
Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
Cobb County Sheriff Craig Going Senior called his deputies for
backup because he didn't get his whopper, no mayo cutting half.
Speaker 2 (01:15:02):
Dj Envy Guess what, Craig Going Senior.

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
Let me tell you something about Sheriff Craig Going Senior.
He's up for reelection, and if I'm in Cobb County,
I'm not re electing him until I know the rest
of his order.
Speaker 2 (01:16:33):
Okay, A whopper cut in half where no mao is great.
Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
But back in the day, I would get an original
chicken sandwich from Burger King with cheese, okay, fries and
the chocolate milk chake woppers hit too. Okay, But before
I was back those in tolerant I would get that
whopper with cheese, Okay, extra pickles, all right, fries the

your rings, some people get the chicken fries.
Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
I have to hear a person's whole order.

Speaker 16 (01:19:22):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (01:19:24):
We fresh off the fourth annual Mental Wealth Expo. Couldn't
do it without doctor Alfre Breeland Noble. Doctor Alfre Breeland
Noble was absolutely positivity, the brains behind the whole operation.
She puts everything together. Okay, all I do is answer
a couple of text messages here and there. Tell people
about the event. It seemed online it was amazing, the
conversations with great people left with a lot of great wisdom.
(01:19:46):
So tell people how it got together and how this
year came.
Speaker 21 (01:19:49):
First, I'm just gonna say, yes, that's what I'm gonna say.
Tyse like turned it out. But I think overall it's
Charles's vision born out of Charlottmagne.
Speaker 2 (01:19:59):
I heeart the Mental Health Alliance. I just helped put
things together, facilitate.
Speaker 21 (01:20:03):
Yeah, I just helped facilitate and really, you know, it's
our fourth annual event. It's a day of people coming together.
They get to see some libs and influencers and people
with lived experience talking about black folks mental health and
all of our mental health. And I think really it
takes a while to pull it together because you got
to coordinate schedules, You got to figure out what are
the topic areas. You know, this year we had something
(01:20:25):
a little different and intergenerational mental health panel, so we
had people from gen X and millennials and gen Z
talking about it. And then we had the men's panel,
the women's mental health panel, you know, healing in the
public eye, and then we ended it all together with
mister Jason Wilson and Tyrese and so it was just
it was phenomenal. You had vendors, booths, There was just
(01:20:45):
so many opportunities for people to find different ways to
tap into their mental health and healing.
Speaker 1 (01:20:50):
And it was interesting to see even when you talk
about intergenerational panel, like Khalid Foster point Guard a Duke University,
he was on that panel.
Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
Who else was on that panel?
Speaker 21 (01:20:58):
With Morgan Noble who has to be my daughter, a
student at Howard University, Mahmoud Heather, he was just all
of them were so powerful and it was moderated by
your buddy Ellie Ellie Connie.
Speaker 1 (01:21:10):
Yeah, that was an interesting conversation. Another thing I noticed
this year it was a lot more young people there.
Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
Yes, yes, it was.
Speaker 21 (01:21:17):
And I think, you know, young people are the ones
driving the conversation. You know, we old heads, we I
feel like we're kind of following in their footsteps, but
they're the ones who are really pushing us to talk
about these things. And so with that panel, I also
want to shout out doctor Judah Joseph who was on
that panel. It was wonderful to get the young people's
perspective right because I feel like a lot of times
(01:21:38):
young people feel like we talk at them, yes, we
don't talk with them, and we don't listen. And so
we had an opportunity yesterday do all of that to
really listen, particularly that intergenerational panel where it was a
lot of young people on there.
Speaker 3 (01:21:49):
That's crazy.
Speaker 5 (01:21:49):
I had a conversation with my grandmother yesterday and I
was like, Mama, why do you always talk at me?
And like why are you always coming from me? Like
why can't we just like talking? And we started talking
and I realized, like that it's her way of showing love.
She doesn't mean it to be harmful. And then I
started thinking like, well, maybe this is why I'm always
so defensive because I'm used to that. I was like, man,
but you know older people too, It's like you always
(01:22:10):
feel like you don't want to be disrespectful right when
you say it certain thing. So I think it's your
background Caribbean at all. No, not that I know, but
I get that all the time.
Speaker 21 (01:22:18):
Yeah, well, I think it's like some of it is,
you know, like my dad's a baby boomer. My dad's
eighty two, shouts out to my dad. There is something
about that generation. I always tell people they were like surviving. Yeah,
they couldn't thrive, and so to get to their the
big ages they are now and to be asked to
kind of take a step back and listen.
Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
You know, they grew up.
Speaker 21 (01:22:36):
Children are seen and not heard, Yes, you know what
I mean, Like you don't talk unless you're spoken to,
And so I think it's hard for them to make
that transition.
Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
It's not impossible.
Speaker 21 (01:22:44):
My dad has really made a transition, but you got
to have a will for that, and a lot of
times people just don't. I don't think they know how
to do it.
Speaker 2 (01:22:49):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (01:22:50):
I wanted to ask you about love, right, do you
think that love is a lost form in relationships that's
really affecting people's mental health? And what made me think
about that is a young lady I can't remember her name.
She was doing an interview and they asked about the
relationship and she was like, do I look like the
type of girl that will pay fifty to fifty?
Speaker 19 (01:23:08):
Like?
Speaker 2 (01:23:08):
Look at my looks? Right? And everything was based on looks.
And I feel that.
Speaker 4 (01:23:13):
Hurts people, especially young people's mental because when they hear
things like that. I think a lot of times I
think a woman might say, well, how come my relationships
not like that?
Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
I'm fishing for that relationship could be a.
Speaker 4 (01:23:23):
Reason that women or men as well are single because
they're looking for something that is not there or doesn't exist.
It's almost like they're looking for the wrong thing.
Speaker 2 (01:23:32):
And I think that can cause a deeply depression. Do
you see that a lot we're talking to the younger
generation at all.
Speaker 21 (01:23:37):
I see, so my daughter's here, Morgan's here. If she
knew I was gonna do it, she starry granted. And
Morgan is twenty, and I see some of this through
the conversations that I had with her and like her
peer group. Also because I running a coma project, I
talked with young people a lot my nonprofit. And I
think I don't think the concept is new. I think
what's new is that we get we're fed it constantly
(01:23:59):
so you can see it much more readily.
Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
I think that's always been there, right.
Speaker 16 (01:24:02):
I grew up with.
Speaker 5 (01:24:03):
People My grandmother literally be like, you got to bring
that check home, or you shouldn't be dating him.
Speaker 3 (01:24:07):
Like yeah, and that comes from my grandma, Like.
Speaker 2 (01:24:09):
Yeah, is your grandma young, Miami? Your grandma did not say.
Speaker 5 (01:24:15):
My grandmother from as long as I can remember, would
always be like, a man should be bringing your check.
And my mom used to be like, if you're dating
someone he doesn't have a job, you don't date him,
and he's not all out in his house.
Speaker 2 (01:24:26):
By the way, I.
Speaker 1 (01:24:27):
Agree with that, because men's you know, men be like,
what does the women bringing to the table? Women are
harder table, Like everything you're doing, you're doing to impress
this woman. You're wearing these nice clothes, You're getting this
jew We had this conversation, you're getting this jewy. You
want to drive a nice car, because you want to
impress it.
Speaker 4 (01:24:40):
But not the woman, not to the point where a
woman is saying that's the only way you can get
with me.
Speaker 16 (01:24:44):
Correct.
Speaker 21 (01:24:45):
Yeah, So I think it's I think it depends on
how you look at gender roles. I'm not even gonna
get into all that, but I do think there's something
to be said for the concept of who qualifies for love,
like who deserves love and what love looks like.
Speaker 2 (01:24:57):
Love is not the stuff.
Speaker 21 (01:24:59):
One of the things I I love about Jason Wilson
is he talks about like the constraints that we put
ourselves under that we don't have to like he calls it,
with it like emotional incarceration, I think, he says, And
I think, to your point, and be what my perspective is,
if you are comfortable with who you are, somebody bringing
you stuff is not the thing that's going to sway
you in a relationship.
Speaker 2 (01:25:19):
That's right.
Speaker 21 (01:25:20):
And my mom, she's deceased, but she used to say,
two halves don't make a hole in a relationship. You
want two whole people to come together to form a
whole relationship. And so I think it's really about do
I love myself enough to know? And I always tell
people I'm worthy exactly as I am, and I don't
want to get like all metaphysical and hopey, but it's true.
I'm worthy as I am, and so I want a
(01:25:41):
partner who also feels that he, she, or they are
worthy as they are. And if both of us are
coming to the relationship with just a little bit of that,
I think it helps us get around some of that.
Speaker 2 (01:25:53):
You got to buy me this. I ain't paying on.
Speaker 21 (01:25:55):
Fifty because what's wrong with paying fifty to fifty? Like
you're getting to know each other.
Speaker 1 (01:25:58):
So and I'm not saying a guy to be money
is superficial. I'm just saying if a woman is going
to be giving herself because that's what she's given, right Yeah, physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally,
she's giving you her like and her body.
Speaker 2 (01:26:09):
All of that stuff cuts some grass or something. He
takes it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:26:14):
But is it he giving up himself too?
Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
Yes, just by showing up? Yeah, so you know he
can so.
Speaker 21 (01:26:22):
That if they can both show up, I'm not saying
it's easy, but remember if in order for both of
them to show up, they both got to know a
little bit about themselves. Now, how many of us go
through life with these blinders on, like blind to ourselves,
like we don't know who we are self?
Speaker 4 (01:26:37):
Love comes into play, period. We got more with doctor
Alfie Brilin Noble. When we come back, don't move.
Speaker 2 (01:26:42):
It's to breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (01:26:43):
Good morning, but warning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious,
Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club, but still
kicking it with doctor Alfie Brilian Nobel, Lala Roaster is
filling in for Jess. So I got a friend right now,
that's dealing with every time this person talks to somebody,
everybody says you need to work on yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
And it's not the first time.
Speaker 16 (01:27:02):
It's not that.
Speaker 2 (01:27:04):
Because she's l crack it out. Okay, So now as this.
Speaker 4 (01:27:08):
So every time she talks to a gentleman, the gentleman
says you need to work on yourself before you can
come back here.
Speaker 3 (01:27:13):
Not every single time the guys are saying this.
Speaker 5 (01:27:16):
I had to guys said, but first one let face.
Speaker 2 (01:27:19):
But let me tell you something.
Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
One of the guys.
Speaker 5 (01:27:22):
His situation is so messed up. He uses that to
not have a real conversation about where he is.
Speaker 2 (01:27:28):
For rest deflection.
Speaker 5 (01:27:29):
So it's like I hear you, but like we need
to work together. I was gonna when you mentioned when
you asked Charla Maagne, isn't the guy showing up to
That struck me because I feel like a lot of
my friends and what I'm realizing about myself is that
I wasn't raised as a woman to really see a
man as a person that has to show up. I
(01:27:50):
was raised as a like a woman that just a
man is there and he's like this like structure, but
like he's not a person, not even a check, but
just like he has to the fight off the bad people,
you know what I mean. But now that my little
brother is getting older, it made me realize, like, man,
how many times they like there are some self accountability moments,
but how many times am I not seeing this man
(01:28:12):
as a person.
Speaker 21 (01:28:13):
Yes, one of the things I wanted to talk about
at the exploit that we didn't get to was this
concept of do we know as people black people.
Speaker 2 (01:28:20):
How to receive love? That's sure that was my struggle.
It came up during your panel, But we have to
get it off.
Speaker 21 (01:28:28):
Yeah, and so I'm gonna put Jason on blast. Jason,
I want to have that conversation one day publicly, but
so in a nutshell. What I had to do was
recognize that I knew how to be present, I knew
how to give to people, I didn't know how.
Speaker 2 (01:28:40):
To let people give to me.
Speaker 21 (01:28:41):
Like my daughter will tell you, I still have a
hard time accepting help. So I think it's once I
decided I wanted things to be different from me, then
I had to decide, like, sort of what's the destination.
I wanted to be a help. It sounds really kind
of corny, but I wanted to be a healthier version
of myself because my mom was always drilling into me two.
Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
Holes the whole relationship.
Speaker 21 (01:29:01):
Don't come into a relationship as half a person, right,
So that's what it was for me. I had to
figure out how to be a whole person. And the
things that helped me were doctor mcneily, mindfulness, meditation, exercise,
and I'm not big into journally, but at the time
I would do I have like multiple journals. So I
hope I'm answering your question.
Speaker 2 (01:29:18):
But that's what I did. I had to work on me.
Speaker 1 (01:29:20):
Now what's next for the mental health fact boat? But
I feel like we do this every year. Yeah, I
feel like there's other things we should be doing throughout
the year.
Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 21 (01:29:28):
So one thing we hope we're gonna be able to
do is I don't I'm just praying on it. I'm
hoping it's gonna happen. Do more than one. That's my hope.
And my hope is that we get to honor somebody's
hometown with one of them.
Speaker 2 (01:29:41):
I'm hoping we'd be able to do that.
Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
Yeah, we've been talking. I mean, well, you know, the
baby was there at the mental health text boat this year.
He wanted to be a part of it. He launched
the baby care and this yeares and so yeah, we've
been talking about doing something in the Carolina Yeah.
Speaker 21 (01:29:52):
So yeah, that's right because he's North Carolina. Yeah, we
used to live in North Carolina. So that's one thing.
Speaker 2 (01:29:56):
I think.
Speaker 21 (01:29:56):
The other thing is we're gonna continue to get bigger.
We have some ideas already about what kind of panels
we want to have, and so we're going to be
reached out. We're going to start reaching out to people
soon to try to get on people's calendars early. Our
talent to bring it. We're going to be reaching out
to more vendors. I think we could have hopefully fingers
crossed a few more vendors at the at the venue
and have more opportunities for things like breathwork and yoga
(01:30:19):
and meditation in some of the breakout rooms and shar
are we just going to continue to follow your vision
for the for the expo.
Speaker 1 (01:30:25):
Absolutely, And you know one thing that we don't do,
we don't you know, we are a nonprofit organization, you know,
Mentalwealth Alnes dot org.
Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
We don't tell people that they can donate.
Speaker 21 (01:30:33):
Yes, and we really want people to do. It's so easy.
You can follow the link in bio on the Instagram
page for the Mental Wealth Alianes. You can go to
the website the QR codes on it. It is so
easy and you know it sounds like bagging, it kind
of is. But you have to understand that money that
you donate goes to helping put things together like the
expert when you're given to thousands of people and just
(01:30:55):
trying to support everybody's investing in their mental wealth.
Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
So when you let everybody in freeze, you know, like
like we don't charge for the mental.
Speaker 21 (01:31:01):
Health, that's it and that costs money. So if they
invest in the mental Wealth Alliance. The Mental Wealth Alliance
can help invest in their mental wealth, that's.
Speaker 2 (01:31:08):
Right, and they can't.
Speaker 5 (01:31:09):
There's the content from the events online and you can
watch the conversations.
Speaker 21 (01:31:12):
It will be there's a lot on the Instagram page
Mental Wealth Alliance, char Tyrese, myself, some of the talent.
We've all been posting stuff and eventually it's going to
be on the YouTube page.
Speaker 3 (01:31:22):
You said, Tyre set it off. What was the conversation?
Speaker 21 (01:31:25):
It was just well, one thing he did that kind
of had me cackling was he ripped the counter, the timer,
he ripped it out. Then he didn't destroy Yeah, he
took the clock off the floors, like I ain't paying
attention to that clock, and he was just very transmit
like literally unplugged.
Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
Yeh see.
Speaker 21 (01:31:39):
He kept looking at me like that clock ain't right.
We did you more time. He was hilarious. But I
think one thing that he did that really moved the
crowd at the end, it was a great way to end,
was he kind of encouraged people by saying like, if
you have something that you want to do right that
maybe is gonna help the world, you need to go
do it. And he talked about what his thing was
that he does. But he was really kind of pushing
(01:32:01):
people to go out and contribute. And I'm not gonna
say it like he said it, because you know, family friendly.
But if you're not going to do it, then step
to the side and let somebody else come do it.
Speaker 16 (01:32:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:32:12):
Well, whether it was a phrase he had, it was
a I'm the problem or if you the problem. If
you have a problem, if you have a problem, do
something about it. Yes, because he was like so many
people nowadays don't really be having a problem. They just
either want to be a part of the conversation, right
or they just want to jump in on the jokes
on social media. But if you actually have a problem,
do something about it.
Speaker 2 (01:32:31):
So that was it. It was a good way to end. Well,
thank you for joining us this morning. That's right. How

five dimes, okay, ten Nichols two quarters. Now look at

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
Well.
Speaker 5 (01:35:57):
In other news, speaking of settling, DJ Mustard and his
ex Chanel have finally come to an agreement in their divorce.
Now when they announced the divorce and just everything all
the back and forth, it was a really big story
because they have been together.
Speaker 3 (01:36:11):
For so so, so so long.
Speaker 5 (01:36:14):
And they also share kids together, so his attorney filed
documents that kind of stay with the settlement. Is so basically,
DJ Mustard is walking away with a ton of different
cars that he owns, including his twenty twenty two may
Back twenty eighteen Lamborghini. He's also going to get his
to keep his his nineteen sixty Chevy and Paula and
Paula four different motorcycles, a couple of jet skis. He's
(01:36:38):
also going to get to hang on to the mansion
that they owned in Chatsworth and some of the residential
properties that they had in Semi Valley in Los Angeles.
Now they do have three minor children together, so they
will share joint legal custody of the kids, and Mustard
is going to be paying her twenty four thousand, a
little over twenty four thousand dollars a month twenty four
five hundreds, so twenty four thousand, five hundred dollars per
(01:36:58):
month and support payments.
Speaker 2 (01:37:00):
How many kids do they they have three kids?
Speaker 5 (01:37:02):
Three kids, that's honestly, you're saying, you don't think that's
you think that's too much for three kids show.
Speaker 1 (01:37:07):
Twenty four dousand dollars a month is still a lot
of money. I ain't talking about the kids. They don't
got nothing to do with the kids. I'm happy you
kids got to eat, kids gott to you know, live.
I'm just talking about there's still a lot of money
to be shelling out every month period.

the amount of three hundred and fifteen thousand dollars, and
Mustard is going to get to keep the rights to
his music catalog. Chanelle hangs on to Sleepover, which is
a pajama and loungerer company that she created, and uh,

Absolutely all right. Well you got a positive note, I do, man.
The positive note comes from a late great colon power.
I love this because I lived this, and I want
everybody to apply this to their life. If you are
going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the
habit in little matters.
Speaker 2 (01:44:41):
Listen to what I just said.
Speaker 1 (01:44:42):
If you're going to achieve excellence in big things, you
develop the habit in little matters. You got to be
excellent with the so called little things before you can
be excellent with the so called big things, because excellence
is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.
Speaker 2 (01:44:55):
Have a blessed day. Breakfast club bitch, you're finished with
your dub
