I love the city to the food's amazing. Shout to
the Caribbean restaurant. There's a Caribbean restaurant and it's a
slash like a juice liquor spot called Concoctions. I love it.
But shout to Milwaukee. All right, Now, what else you
talking about? Restless anal syndrome. Experts are saying that COVID

(05:27):
nineteen infections may be causing a restless anal syndrome that
likestl bitch face. Yea, oh so now you want COVID
restless anal something? All right? Well, a new case report
in Japan has established a link between what people are

(05:48):
saying is a gastro intestinal pain that's chronic, that's a
constant urge to defecate. So they are trying to do
some more research to determine that link between restless anal
syndrome and COVID nineteen. But they're saying, this is a
real symptom that's been happening, that's keep even after you go,
you still feel like you have to go, and it's

(06:08):
a deep anal discomfort. Isn't it a deep anal discomfort. No,
they said that it was the urge to go to
the bathroom, was worse at night, and then when he
was resting throughout most of the day. Only when he
was moving or breaking a sweat did he feel temporary
relief before the sensation rushed back later, according to people.
So they did conduct colinoscopies and neurological tests for reflexes

(06:30):
and his anus, but they could not explain why these
symptoms arose weeks after his infection and then they did
find hemorrhoids. But they are saying that it's kind of
like restless leg syndrome. Fall asleep now you know, yeah,
you know how your leg just is always like moving.
That was called anxiety. But they are going to be

(06:52):
doing some more evidence, but just keeps like imagine you
go to the bathroom and you defecate and then you
always still feel like you have to say what you mean? Yeah,
they're gonna blame cold with for everything up well, they
say this is another symptom. Shout out to a destiny
Forever EJC. She actually sent me this story on Instagram,
like make sure you report on this because Charlotmagne will

(07:13):
love it. She's right. I like the title, the titles
five syndrome. Well, the bottom line is is what what's
the bottom line? All right? And Facebook is planning to
rebrand the company. They're gonna get a new name and
they're gonna announce that next week. They're going to be
focusing on not just being a social media company, but

(07:35):
their ambitions have expanded, and they're saying right now they
are trying to make sure they build up more public trust.
And also it's just that's not all they do. They
don't want to be associated as just a social media company.
They want to be a metaverse company, just bigger than
just one thing. It's universal, it's all over. So they're
gonna actually unveil this at the company's annual Connect conference

(07:57):
on October twenty eighth, but you might learn the names. Well,
you know, they own a lot of other things like
what's app Oculus and more So there's more that they
do besides this Instagram, Facebook, What's app Oculus. They have
a lot of different companies underneath them, so they're a
tech giant. It's not just social media. I wonder if
they start calling themselves something else, like if they say
that they're a network. Well, that prompt the government to

(08:22):
start regulating them in a real way, because once you
start calling yourself an actual network and you're admitting that
you're broadcasting things right, all right, well I guess and
you know they do have a lot of shows on
there too, Facebook watch a lot of different programming. All right,

don't hold, don't hang up, all right, get it off
your chest. Eight undred five eight five one on five one.

(16:32):
Now we got rumors on the way. What we're talking about, Yes,
and let's talk about young boy. He has been involved
in a jail fight, according to reports, and that's why
he is going to be denied bond. We'll give you
more details, all right, We'll get into that next. Keep
a lock. This to Breakfast Club. God Morning, the Breakfast Club.
This is the rumor report with Angela. Ye, well, it

(17:01):
looks like Wendy Williams will not be returning to her
show until at least November. So yeah, so it looks
like she's still going through whatever sickness and I know
complications some graves disease a direct condition. So yeah, she's
not back until then. But they have announced some more
guest hosts. Sherry Shepherd is going to be a special
guest host from November first to the fifth, and Whitney

(17:24):
Cummings will be guest hosting October twenty fifth to the ninth. Now,
Whitney Cummings posted, nobody can ever replace Wendy, but we
will do whatever we can to fill in so she
can come back stronger than ever. She's gone so hard
for so long, and as much as I miss seeing
her every day, just imagine how hilarious she's going to
be after some time to take care of herself and
have some quiet time to think. Sherry Shepherd also posted

(17:45):
that she will be guest hosting too. Well, you gotta
continue to send a Wendy Williams healing energy. She might
will take the whole year off though, like, well you can't.
You can't rush your health, you know what I mean?
Not for no TV show, all right. Sherry Shepherd in
the press release state that I had such a great
time when I hosted the show in twenty nineteen, and
I'm flattered that and the producers put their trust in
me to fill in again. I'm sending my love and
well wishes to her. All right, Young boy never broke again.

(18:08):
He was allegedly involved in a fight while he was
in jail, and prosecutors are using that to deny him bond.
According to a recent report that regards his detailed post
release plan, they're using that one incident that reportedly happened
to justify keeping him locked up for such a long time.
They argued that he cannot stay out of fights. Prosecutor

(18:28):
Will Morris even said that his pattern of behavior is disturbing,
and it was confirmed that the Feds were using the
name Operation Never Free Again to describe the sting takedown
of Young Boy. I was think in jail though, like
you know, I mean, if somebody walked to be when
swings on you, you should be allowed to defend yourself. Now,
if you started the fight, that's different. But if you're
defending yourself, and I'm sure everybody's showing yeah, that's what

(18:51):
I'm saying, what are you supposed to do? Yeah? And
you know they're proposing when he gets released that he'll
relocate to Utah, and which I think that could be
really good for him, right, And what they are saying
is that there's a tutor, one of his childhood tutors
that lives there. He purchased a residence in North Utah recently.
He reportedly stayed with her extended family throughout the past

(19:13):
decade while remaining out of trouble whenever he's there. And
I think that could be a positive thing because sometimes
you got to take people out of the environment where
things can provoke you and put them someplace else. Because
such a young you really want to rehab somebody, right, Right,
he's such a young man. That's why you got to
give people the chance to grow, give people a chance
to evolve, Like, you know, how old is he? God?

(19:34):
Come on, you know I did have that chance to
really go like to his you know, grandparents' house and
talk to him and to have some off camera conversations.
And so I do feel particularly particularly empathetic to him
and what he's been through. So much love to nb
a young boy. And after he's held accountable for whatever
he's in jail for and he you know, pays that

(19:56):
to society, he should be allowed to, you know, come
out and go live a great life. What did a
man chance to grow? What is he in jail? Or
do we even know? I forgot weapons and drug charges?
And all right, now let's talk about Cardi B. She
is pleading not guilty to assault charges and she could
face four years in prison. She had been offered the
chance to plead guilty the third degree assault that would

(20:18):
be in exchange for a conditional discharge, but she has
decided that she is going to plead not guilty. They
always tell us, a lot of lawyers have come up
here and told us, if you didn't do something, don't
just plead guilty to a lesser charge, because that will
that could potentially a conditional discharge lead to any little
thing that happens could land her behind bars. So I'm
sure she feels like she can fight this. Not only

(20:39):
that that opens up the civil case. So she pleads
guilty to that, then that civil case gets opened wide up,
and that's a lot easier than a court case. So
but if you're found not guilty to assault charges, somebody
can't still bring a Yeah, but it's a lot easier
if you plead guilty though. Okay, so she posted no
one ever notices when you're being provoked, just when you
reta ALLIHL supposed they want to see a bad bitch

(21:02):
do bad and a lot of people have been testing
her on social media as well. Now pushics is asking
a judge to stop Fedge from presenting evidence of past
crimes from when he was only eleven years old at
his trial. So the first is an assault case that
happened when he was fourteen, the other is a robbery
case that occurred when he was only eleven in the
sixth grade. And his team is saying that you shouldn't

(21:25):
show those things at the trial. All right. These actions
have no direct nexus to pushicsy other than in speculation.
They're saying. You know, he was arrested in June for
his legend involvement in the shooting and robbery of two
men in October of twenty twenty in Miami. The federal
charges he's facing and clude discharging firearm during a violent crime, conspiracy,
and Hobbs Act robbery. If convicted, he's facing a possible

(21:46):
maximum sentence of life in prison. Damn. So what are
you trying to say he got a history of violence
or something later? Yeah, but I think, I mean, eleven
years old, and when you're a child, should you be
allowed to present that now the sixth grade something you
did in sixth grade? I don't know. I mean I
didn't my mind, no, But I don't know. I don't

(22:07):
know how the law works. It sounds to me like
they're just trying to paint a history of you know,
him being violent and saying that he I guess he
hasn't rehabilitated or change. I don't know, all right, And
that is all These kids be so nice when you
meet that. I called him a kid, but yeah, these
young men be so nice when you meet him, Like,
I don't that gets hard to I don't know, man,

(22:27):
I just know that, you know, we all start someplace,
and I couldn't even imagine being that young with that
kind of money in the minds that I had when
I was twenty something years though, correct, you know what
I mean? That's when you would hope your old g's
and your older family members can you know, put their
arm around you and try to guide you the right way. Hey,
we we all had that. It's not like we didn't
have that growing up. But you know, you still end

(22:48):
up doing stupid things. But I just know that you
know that man had a long life ahead of him.
Poosh its the NBA young boy, all of them. So
I would hate to see any of them have to
go to jail for life or twenty years or thirty years,
because you never know who the brothers are gonna turn
out to be. All right, now we got front page
news next, Yes, and let's talk about Halloween costumes. What
is the number one search? All right, we'll get into

(23:08):

one fourteen. Now what else we got? Easy? Well, Square
game Halloween costumes are topping internet searches, so everybody wants

(23:55):
was thinking, I like to be the red light green

maybe you guys can come dress and jumpsues and I
can shoot y'all. We've been um, well some of the
A lot of those people survive. You you haven't seen
the show, but if I did, a lot of them died.
That was like the first episode. But we would be
the one to survive. Yes, we would. Yeah, we would
definitely want to survive easily. All right. Now let's talk

(24:17):
about Donald Trump. He made a statement about Colin Powell's passing.
Instead of just saying rest in peace or nothing at all,
he posted, wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big
mistakes on Iraq and famously so called weapons of master
Chucks and be treated in death so beautifully by the
fake news media. Hope that happens to me someday. He
was a classic rhino, if even that, always being the
first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes,

(24:39):
but anyway, may he rest in peace? What is wrong
with him? Nothing? He sounded like you sound like a
lot of rappers. I know. I've heard shut up and
don't say nothing. I've heard rappers say when you might
if you most my ap alive, you might op did
like you know. It's distasteful to me, but that's who

(24:59):
he all. Right now, there is early November approval expected
for the fives, a vaccine for children at age five
to eleven, and then New York officials are pushing forward
on planning to vaccinate children once they were approved, and
right now they want school to become alternate vaccination sites
due to fears of an impending rush on pediatrician So

(25:20):
they're saying about one point five million children in the
state will be eligible to get that vaccine, and the
governor is saying that with parental permission slip for parents,
they will encourage them to make appointments now for early
to mid November, so age five to eleven. I know
that scares y'all with your kids as far as that
vaccination being available in early November, right, it does, yeah, don't.

(25:46):
I just don't know how it affects the kids as yet.
I don't know if they tested enough kids and seeing
the results for kids as yet. I know they have
for adults. Oh yeah, it does definitely makes me nervous,
all right. And gang in Haiti won seventeen million dollars
in ransom for seventeen American and Canadian missionaries who have
been kidnapped. They're asking for a million dollars each for

(26:07):
their release. At sixteen American citizens and one Canadian. They
were actually they're visiting an orphanage. And that abduction is
part of a wave of indiscriminate kidnappings. It's become more brazen.
The country is suffering from political instability, civil unrest, lack
of quality healthcare, and severe poverty. So we are praying

(26:27):
for their safe return. The abductive group is made out
of five men, seven women, and five children. The kids
include an eight month old baby and kids aged three, six, thirteen,
and fifteen years old. The ages of the adults range
from eighteen to forty eight. All right, and that is
your front page news. All right, thank you, miss ye.
Now when we come back, who's joining us this morning?

(26:49):
Oh man. Mel Robbins international bestselling author. She had a
book called The Five Second Rules. Some of y'all own it,
I'm sure, And now she had a new book called
the High five habit. What she's that you can take
control of your life with one simple habit, and I
cannot wait for her to tell us what that habit is.
All right, we'll get into that when we come back,
so don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning. The

(27:10):
Breakfast Club in this front page and was responsive by
Universe Souls Circus, which is back in town for tickets
to visit Universal Circus dot com. The Breakfast Club. Your
mornings will never be the same morning. Everybody is DJ
Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

(27:31):
We have a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed
we have author Mel Robbins. Welcome, Wow, thank you, a
motivational speaker and a host of others. Yes, a lot
of things. How are you doing this morning? And welcome
to the show. Well, I'm I'm super excited. We got
so much to talk about and I cannot wait to
just get into it all. Well, who is Mel Robbins?
For the folks that don't know, I'm somebody that's screwed

(27:55):
up a lot in life. Oh yeah, I tend to
come by wisdom the hard way, Okay, by either digging
a hole or falling into one and then needing a
ladder and having to build it myself. A kind of
people I like to listen to. I like to listen
to people who've actually had experiences that they can speak on,
whether those experiences a so called good or so called

(28:15):
back because I don't believe in either. I don't believe
life is a process. Yeah. I think life is like
the hardest and most incredible school you'll ever attend. Absolutely,
and everything is a lesson. And you know, I kind
of came into writing books and being a motivational speaker
because I have had so many struggles, just like everybody else. Like,
I don't think anybody gets to being an adult in

(28:37):
life and not experiencing some kind of trauma or abuse
or whatever. It's hot in here. We didn't pay to
a c build. I'm also fifty three. I could be
like everybody's mother, and so I'm having a lot, right. Yeah,
I don't know how old you think we are, but there, yeah,
you'd have been a very very young mother. My mom

(28:58):
was a very young mom too, but no. So I
have had a lifelong struggle with anxiety, which is one
of the reasons why I'm so excited to talk to
you guys. And I have these two books that became
instant best sellers because I just have this crazy knack
of taking really complicated stuff and coming up with really

(29:22):
almost simple, cheesy ways to explain things that are memorable
that anybody can use with any level of education or
no education at all, to attack issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD, procrastination.
And that's been my gift. Let's talk about the High
five habit. You know, take control of your life with

(29:45):
one simple what does that habit? Okay, so first I
gotta tell you, Okay, this is going to sound like
the stupidest thing you've ever heard. This is the most
powerful thing I have ever discovered in my entire life,
and it unpacked decades of research in psychology, in human behavior, inhabits.

(30:06):
It's insane. Basically, you're going to stand in front of
the mirror every morning, right after you brush your teeth,
and I want you to do it after you brush
your teeth because we know, based on research, that your
brain learns new habits when you stack it with an
old habit. Now, I want to teach you, using science,
how to get all of the gunk out of your mind, body,

(30:27):
and spirit, spirit, and I'm talking generational here. Okay, So
as you stand in front of the mirror, you're going
to put your toothbrush down and you're gonna look in
the mirror. That's step one. Now, this is the hardest
part for most people. And I actually read the interview
that you said when you announced the Mental Wealth Alliance.
There was an article that you that was written about

(30:47):
you in Forbes, and there was a quote there that
I loved because this is what the high five habit
is all about. You were talking about the fact, you know,
about how the black community had been impacted by the pandemic,
and you said, I've never had more people call me,
FaceTime me or text me saying yo, bro, I'm ready
to talk to somebody. Everybody's sitting at home and having

(31:09):
to deal with themselves all the time, and there's a
lot of people who are just seeing themselves for the
first time, and they may not necessarily like what they see.
The fact of the matter is fifty percent or more
of men and women can't even look at themselves in
the mirror right because they do not like the person
that they see. And the reason why they don't like

(31:30):
themselves is so sad. They either like every morning in
the mirror, when you simply stand there and you look
at yourself in the mirror, you're not alone, and that's
not your reflection. I believe you're in that bathroom with
another human being, and that human being needs you. They
are trying their best. They have been trying so hard.
They are so sick and tired of being picked apart.

(31:52):
They're tired of your negativity. They are tired of yourself doubt.
They're tired of being beaten down by you. And the
reason why most people cannot even look at themselves in
the mirror is because if you're a human being, you
have a past that is filled with all kinds of crep.
There's not a human being that hasn't experienced some level
of trauma. I know in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I'm from Moskeegan, Michigan.

(32:15):
They just the officials, they're just actually said that racism
is the leading mental health crisis. Thankfully, people are starting
to talk about this. And so you've either experienced trauma
or abuse, or neglect or abandonment or and you drag
that into the bathroom every morning, and it stands between

(32:35):
you and the human being in the mirror. And there's
so many people that think that they are not worthy,
or that they are damaged or not lovable because of
what they've survived, or if you're a human, you've done
a lot of stuff that you regret. You've cheated, you've lied,
you've you've hurt other people, you've hurt yourself, you've squandered opportunity,
you've stolen stuff. I mean, everybody has stuff they've regret,

(32:58):
stuff that they would forgive all of us for. But
you stand in judgment of the human being in the mirror.
And so number one, you may find it super challenging
just to do the part where you look in the mirror.
But what I want you to do is I want
you to then raise your hand, as cheesy as it sounds,
I want you to high five the human being you see.
And what's incredible about this simple habit is that number one,

(33:23):
you have high five to other people your whole life. So, Charlemagne,
when you high five somebody, what does the gesture itself mean?
I'm greeting them, want them to be seen, want them
to feel seen, want them to know that I recognize them.
What are you thinking? When you high five me, I
recognize them, I respect them, I would a love for them. Yeah, yeah,

(33:44):
anderations on something. Yeah, to accomplicate. They've accomplice and you're
acknowledging that. Yeah. Now here's this. This is where the
high five habit gets bananas. Since you have been high
fiving and receiving high fives from tons of people your
whole life, your mind, body, and spirit is already programmed
with the messaging of a high five. There is neural

(34:06):
association with the physical trigger of doing this. So when
you go to high five yourself, no matter how weird
it feels or resistant you are to it, your brain
turns all that judgment off and it picks up the
neural association with a lifetime of high five and receiving
high fives. You have never once thought envy. I hate
you as you high five somebody. You've never once thought

(34:28):
you loser. I hope you lose. Today is gonna be too.
You've never ever ever done it unless you like you
got to be one of the most facus backstabbing people
in the world to do something, I don't even think
anybody can do it. Somebody. Yeah, Because here's the thing,
Like you literally eat. Like if you and I high
five right now, if we high five right now, right,
if we have five right now? Yes, like I said,

(34:52):
receive something, Yes, you have to just one. Your brain
doesn't know the difference between me high five envy or
angel or you or me high five myself. So that
that feeling that you just got, that's dopamine. Your brain
gives you a drip of dopamine every morning when you
high five yourself, that celebratory yeah, yeah, yeah, that's your

(35:12):
nervous system programming. Your nervous system remembers celebratory gestures of
waving hello, of hugging. There is so much freaking research
about the high five. So they studied NBA teams. Okay,
there's this huge article in the Wall Street Journal in
twenty eleven where they studied NBA teams and researchers were
able to predict who were going to be the best

(35:35):
performing teams at the end of the season by looking
at one habit during the preseason. And the habit they
studied was how many times did the team give each
other pats on the back or fist bomps or high
fives during the preseason. But oh, sure that works till
after that feels really good. And so what happens is
when you give somebody a high five, verus fist bomp

(35:57):
or a pat on the butt. These build trust and partnership,
and so the teams that do that the most in
the preseason go on to have the winning as seasons.
The teams that do it the least actually do the worst.
Because you've got a bunch of players that are in
it for themselves. We should do it more as a community, yes,
and you should do it. You should start by doing

(36:18):
it to yourself. I'll tell you why, because we are
all looking outside ourselves for the validation, love, respect, support
that we need and we need for ourselves for our children.
To teach ourselves to be able to stand in front
of the mirror and give that same validation, support, self
worth and love to ourselves. Because if you learn how

(36:41):
to like, respect, forgive support yourself. Yeah, it sucks when
somebody else doesn't like you, but it won't change the
fact that you like yourself. We have more with Mel
Robbins when we come back. Don't Move is to breakfast Club,
Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy angela ye Shalma guy.
We are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with

(37:01):
Mel Robbins, author, motivational speaker. How did you learn all
it is? How did you learn to give yourself a
high five? How do you learn to talk to yourself? Like?
You know, how did you get to that point your credit?
From what you said earlier, you've been through a lot, like, yes,
well everybody's everybody, So you know some people, I mean,
bankruptcy is a really difficult thing. Yes, and finances can

(37:25):
be crushing person. Yes, So I'll tell you the story
about what I call the five second rule and being
almost a million dollars in debt and about to lose
everything in two thousand and eight. But how I discovered
the high five habit was? You know, I used to
be a daytime syndicated talk show host, and I lost

(37:46):
that dream job on March tenth in twenty twenty, when
they found COVID at CBS Broadcast Center and they walked
in and said, shows over, you're fired. Five minutes to
evacuate the building. Wow. And so I find my self
back home just like everybody else. My whole life turned
upside down in an instant. The kids have their college

(38:07):
experience imploded. We're now all quarantining back at home. Every
single speech I have for a year cancels, and I
find myself in a free fall. And this is before
the PPP loans come out, and you know, we're all
in quarantines. Kids are in breakdown, anxieties coming back, and
I'm having flashbacks to two thousand and eight where my
husband and I were losing everything. And I wake up

(38:31):
one morning with a very familiar feeling. I'm just feeling
overwhelmed by my life and feeling the anxiety pinning me
down in that bed like a gravity blanket. And I
know not to lay in that bed. And I'll tell
you the story about the five second roll in a minute,
because you definitely want to know this when it comes
to mental health. So I count backwards five four, three
two one. I get out of bed, I drag myself

(38:51):
to the bathroom and I'm standing there in the bathroom
and I literally catch a glimpse of my reflection. I think,
oh my god, you look like hell. And then I
start picking apart the woman I see in the mirror.
The dark circles under my eye, one boob hanging lower
than the other. I start thinking about my day and
it's negative. You got eight minutes to get on zoom.

(39:13):
You know how you get you didn't return that call.
How are you going to get out of this? Met
the beat? Down? The beat? This is how most people
start their day. Yeah, even though you should have gave
yourself so much grace. Yeah no, nope, just that it's
a habit. Like That's what folks don't understand is that
you're not broken. You have patterns of thinking and patterns
of behavior that make you feel broken. And the good

(39:34):
news is if you understand it's a pattern, you can
catch it and break it. And so, I don't know
what came over me, envy, because I'm not a cheesy person,
and it sounds pathetic. You're standing there and you're underwearing
your bathroom, you know, And if you had walked into
the bathroom that morning, or you had walked into the
bathroom that morning, I would have been able to spin
on a dime and pick you up. I would have

(39:54):
been able to say, Angela, I know this is not fair,
but if anybody can handle this, it's you. I don't
if you'd have done that with random screen is just
walking in your bathroom. I don't think that would have
been your mind. Yeah, and so, uh, I don't know what. Okay,

(40:15):
I actually think it was divine intervention. I really do,
because I literally just raised my hand without even thinking
about it and high five the woman in the mirror
because she needed it. And I laughed the second my
hand hit the mirror because it's so cheesy, and I
felt like, all right, come on, you got a roof
over your head, it's not that bad. Get your ass
out there. Like that was kind of the mood it
was the second morning. The second morning is when it

(40:37):
hit me. You know, you know that feeling when you're
about to walk into a bar or cafe and you're
going to see somebody you really like, what do you
feel in that moment right before you're about to walk in? Excited?
But if that yeah, I felt that about the idea
of seeing myself. Wow, what just hit you? Um? I

(41:00):
guess gratitude, you know, like I always try to have
a mean Worthiness is a tricky thing, right, Yeah, but
I think the first step to worthiness is just having gratitude.
And you know, Bishop TDJS told me something one time.
You said, even if you don't feel like you're worthy,
God knows you're worthy. So waking up in the morning
and just know that I'm still here, still alive. God
has some type of plan for me. Yeah, and you

(41:22):
know you asked the question about, you know, the five
second rule. I should explain this really quickly because this
is what helped me actually interrupt all the patterns that
caused anxiety, stop taking medication, get control of my mindset,
and literally I have situational anxiety. I never have general
anxiety anymore ever, because I understand it now. So I
invented something called the five second rule in two thousand

(41:44):
and eight. And at the time, my husband had gone
into the restaurant business. He had a little pizza pizza
joint outside of Boston, Massachusetts, with his best friend, and
the first one did really, really well. So, like complete idiots,
we cashed out our entire life savings, the kid's college fund.
We took out a home equity line because that's free money, right.
What could possibly go wrong in the restaurant business, And

(42:07):
what went wrong is the second location was a total disaster,
and all of a sudden we found ourselves eight hundred
thousand dollars in debt, three kids under the age of ten,
credit cards maxed out. I lost my job, lean's hit
the house. I of course, faced these problems like a
high functioning adult, and that is by drinking myself into
the ground and screaming at my husband when you say that,

(42:29):
give me just a little anglio investments. Yeah. And so
I was waking up every morning pinned to bed with anxiety,
and I became a person I didn't recognize, like I
was drunk by five o'clock in the afternoon. I was
angry all the time. I would lie in bed in

(42:52):
the morning and stare at the ceiling, just pinned with anxiety.
I felt like the world's worst mom, the worst wife,
a huge fail. The kids were missing the bus every day.
So I invented this crazy thing in desperation. There is
a five second window that defines your whole life. It's
a moment of hesitation. Inside this window is the difference

(43:12):
between confidence and doubt, courage and fear, inspiration and procrastination.
If you can teach yourself to move within this five
second window, you win. And in this moment, this rock
bottom moment, God, I swear to God help me create
I get so like just when you guys hear what
has happened with the five second rule, and now the

(43:34):
high five habit. There's no other explanation for this. I remembered, mel,
you got to launch yourself out of bed, and then
I started thinking about doing it, and I started thinking,
what goods it going to do? I don't care, I
don't feel like it. It's dark, it's cold, I'm made
hundred grand in dead. How's this going to help? And
then I just started counting five four three two one,
and all of a sudden I stood up and I
used it the next morning five four three two one,

(43:55):
and the next morning and the next morning, and then
I started using at any moment. I knew what I
should do, but I didn't feel like doing it. I
counted backwards five four three two one. When you count
backwards five four three two one, it's what researchers call
a starting ritual. It interrupts all the habits stored in
your basil ganglia. Habit loops like procrastination, anxiety, worry, self doubt,

(44:19):
and the counting backwards five four three two one requires focus.
So as you start to focus on the counting five
four three two one, your prefrontal cortex engages on the counting.
This is the part of the brain that gives you
immediate control over what you think and do next. This
is the part of the brain that you're using when

(44:40):
you're doing any kind of strategic thinking, when you're learning
new behavior. This is the part of the brain that
helps you change. So when you count backwards five four, three,
two one, by the time you get to one, you've
got a moment where you can take control. This is
what actually led me into the business of writing books
and being a mode ovational speaker. It was literally not

(45:02):
something I set out to do, but I believe God
was like, this crazy lady is the one that's going
to get this out in the world. This amazingly normal lady.
That's true, but I meant like in a good way. Yes,
And so I first mentioned it in a TEDx talk
in twenty eleven. It's now got twenty eight million views.

(45:23):
That's what started the speaking career, and so many people
started writing about the five second rule. I, despite my dyslexia,
and ADHD wrote a book about it self published it.
It went on to sell two million copies, be translated
into thirty six languages and thank you. But here's the
most important part. The five second rule is now being

(45:44):
used by pediatricians around the world to help kids with anxiety.
It's being used by veterans organizations to help people program
triggers associated with PTSD. And we know of more than
one hundred and eleven people who have stopped themselves from
attempting suicide by counting backwards five four, three, two one
and asking for help. All right, well, no move. We

(46:05):
got more with Mel Robins when we come back is
the Breakfast Club? Good morning, good morning. Everybody is DJ
Envy Angela Yee. Chalomagne, the guy we are to Breakfast
Club was still kicking it with Mel Robbin's author motivational Speaking. No, Chalomie,
correct me if I'm wrong, But you think having a
comfort zone is problematic. I think that your comfort zone

(46:25):
is problematic if you stay in it because you're afraid
to grow. I think human beings are designed to grow
their entire life. Your cells regenerate every seven years. Your
brain's constantly changing. Heck, we just talked about how the
filter in your mind can change. And if you are
comfortable and not If you're comfortable and happy, fabulous, But

(46:47):
if you're comfortable and you're not satisfied or you're not
happy that's a problem. Yes. One thing I will say
that I related to is wanting something really bad is terrifying. Yes,
when you really really want something sometimes scary to even
just admit it. Well, one of the things that I
like to do. Everybody has a morning routine. Mine obviously
involves the five second rule five four three two one

(47:08):
get out of bed. I also don't look at my
phone for the first thirty minutes of the day because
us I well, I'll tell you why. You don't want
to do that, because how many like, let's take you
know how many people like let's say you've got I
don't know a million people on Facebook? Okay that follow you?
Would you want all of them to walk into your bedroom?
Do you want a strength? You know that's what you're

(47:29):
doing when you look at your phone. Oh, wake up,
and I pray because I have to make sure ideas
no changes in the schedule at work. I'm like, let
me just make sure I would not do that, and
let me tell you why, because you're putting all of
that before what matters to you. And so if you
were to literally try it tonight, take your phone and
plug it in in your bathroom or your closet, do

(47:52):
not even have it next to your bed. And if
you need to be reached in the middle of the night,
tell people to call you and not text you. Because
what's interesting about work and what's interesting about family is
people will text you all night long. They will not
call you unless it's an emergency. That way you're reachable.
Then when the alarm goes off, presumably it's on your phone,

(48:12):
you're now can't lay in bed. You gotta get up
to go to the phone to turn it off. So
you sort of set yourself up to have to get
out of bed and not lay there and think about
things and worry, which is where a lot of people
have anxiety. Cortisol levels are very high in the morning,
you turn off your phone, then put it face over
and walk away from it. Take the first thirty minutes
for you, your dreams. You you deserve thirty minutes, even

(48:34):
five minutes. I did it on a weekend. I don't
know about daring the week. But I also don't wake
up from my phone, like if anybody texts me or
it calls me, I will not wake up until my
alarm goes off in the morning or right before my
alarm goes up, so I never know it's something like
important happened. I just want you to try it. Give
me five minutes, five minutes yourself first before the world

(48:54):
comes out. I can't do that. I'll do five. So
what happens is is I wake up. First of all,
I don't need it along to wake up anymore. My
body wakes me up at four thirty eight m. But
you know what I do is I have five kids.
So my daughter who goes to n y U, I
make sure she texts me if she's arriving back at
her apartment or she's going somewhere. So that's the first

(49:16):
thing I check to make sure that she's safe. The
first thing poop, I text Dad, I made it back safe.
I do the same thing. Then I can go on
with my day. Then I can go take my shower,
I do my prayer, I kiss my wife, I go
kiss my kids. Then. But the first thing I have
to do, and this is I learned from my dad,
is the first thing I have to make sure my
family safe. That's the first thing I do, regardless check
that text. Then, So how do you go to sleext messages?

(49:40):
What do you mean? How do you go to sleep.
If she hadn't take me back, if I sent the
text of my daughter she wasn't in yet, it would
be hard for me to sleep. I wouldn't be able
to lay down. Do I do have a problem, Well,
that's my problem. I don't sleep. But if I do
fall asleep or something happened, let's say my daughter is
out studying or something like that, I won't sleep. It's
difficult for me to sleep. And I'm always waiting for
that phone to ring because I'm waiting for her to
be like, hey, Dad, I'm safe. That's my difficult part.

(50:03):
So then when I see that text or whether it's
my mother, as my father or somebody that's traveling, whatever,
I see that text dinner, I can get up from
my day. But that's what I have to do. And
then I'm like, the second thing I look at is
the show. Charlottagne's not coming in today. He's not broadcasting.
That means I'm broadcasting from home. That means, you know what,
I'm closing my eyes for another So that's the second thing.
Then when I see that email at the then I

(50:24):
can I'm realizing this show not a priority in my life.
Because I get up and I thank God, and you know,
I give gratitude and I meditate, and that gives my family.
I don't talk to them to like five thirty, when
I'm close to work driving I might look at my Texas.
Somehow I cannot. I can't look at this. I have
to put everything I have to like get my mind straight.
I got it. And then I always write down five

(50:45):
things that I want in the morning, right as another
way to train my mind to just focus on the
things that I desire, that I want to allow myself
to dream, to give myself permission to want those things.
And here's the thing, though, is that I don't think
that you're a dreams are necessarily meant to be achieved.
I think your dreams have this purpose of being a

(51:05):
beacon out in front of you that pull you through
your fear and your anxiety and your circumstances to be
greater than you are right now. Well, mel, we appreciate
you for joining us to say, now we definitely do
you know what to do? You think you got a
bad rap, I mean, not a bad rap, bad shake
with your TV show? No, I thought, yeah, I think
that again. At the very beginning, we said that life

(51:27):
is the most is the hardest and most amazing school
year of her ten. And I think absolutely everything is
preparing you for what's coming next. And it had always
been a dream of mine to do a daytime syndicated
talk show that really gave people like you guys are
tools not only entertainment, but tools and life changing information

(51:50):
that can help somebody really take control or improve their lives.
And I learned a tremendous amount. It was a tremendous gift,
and it prepared me for what's coming next. I'm actually
happy it's over because I love audio more. I like
I'm a digital entrepreneur. You can reach more people that way,
you have more creative freedom. And so I learned a

(52:11):
massive amount. But it was just preparing me. You see
the apportunity, see the exactly, exactly exactly, you're with the
right guy if you can about audio. My guy Mark, Yes,
and it's Mel Robbins. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on,
huh you don't think I'm too sexiful? How you looking

(52:33):
at me? Sir? Sir? Sir, sir, sim adown sir, you're married, sir. Morning.
Everybody is DJ restless but syndrome your buds board since
sim adown sir, kay, we are to breakfast club. Goodbye.
Let's get to the rules to still doctor Dre. It's
about this report Angela the breakfast club all right. Well,

(53:02):
A source with direct knowledge told TMZ that doctor Dre
was at a cemetery in La on Monday. He was
actually his grandmother passed away. He was laying her to
rest and allegedly he was confronted by a process server
with some divorced documents. So they said he recoiled an
anger wouldn't take the documents in hand. The process server

(53:23):
then dropped the documents by the grave site and they said, uh,
they were dropped in the parking lot. Though, that's with mama,
because behind the scene said that. I thought you said
doctor j And in my mind I was like, well,
how old is doctor Jay's grandma? Oh boy, yeah, but
I got a certain somewhere and they got a certain
way a place where he is, And you got to
think about it. Doctor Dre is not out and about.
It's not like you wanna catch him in there, so

(53:44):
I mean, the only place with it and that's sad
that a burial for his grandmother. I don't know business
I would be terrible having to do that. Yeah, I mean,
I'm not saying the person didn't feel terrible, but they
still got a job to do. She pays the service.
In the service, they do what they gotta do to
make sure that they get, you know, get those documents.
When he has to grab do he has to take
those documents. And if you don't take him in your hand.
You know what's so funny? It does baby think I

(54:05):
saw somebody getting served outside the building one day, Wax, Yes,
Charlemagne's boy, I was walking outside. You try to serve
me one time outside. If they try to serve him
and he like spun around and then they fell on
the papers, fell on the floor, and then somebody's like,
you need to pick those off the floor has your
personal information on him. You can't just leave him there
like that. Would you drop him at the grave site

(54:27):
if you was the person. No, because if you drop
it on the floor, then you're not served. Right. If
they touch your hands, you are. If they touch your hands, yes,
it's like the paperwork. If they give you the paperwork
and touch hand, you see, you got served. Man, I
haven't been served at all. It's just a terrible feeling.
They have to go through that. But yeah, all right now,
little Yadi. Congratulations to him. According to sources, he is

(54:50):
a father for the first time. They're saying that a
baby was born, a baby girl in the last couple
of weeks in New York City, so congratulating. Congrats to
him all right now. According to more sources, Buster Rhymes,
five rappers turned down offers to battle him on versus
Crazy Legs from Rocksteady Crew wrote it on Instagram. He said,

(55:10):
I had to let Buster Rhymes know that no one
is worthy enough to battle him. Then he told me
that five people already turned it down. Some things are
just what they are. He has the unfortunate pleasure of
being a god in the rap game. Shot out to
Swiz who could battle Buster Run? What I would say
is is Missy having both go back video. I was
thinking about this yesterday when I saw that story. Definitely

(55:31):
Missy would be dope, but they would have to play
videos and musicos and music. I think L would LLL
would be a good one too, would Buster them. I
wanted to see LLL and cares one, but Hello Cooj
versus Buster Romes would be damn good. What about Buster Rhymes?
What about versus Q tip No, I mean just catalog

(55:52):
like no let he got trip cold questions. Yeah, that's
two different Now that's and they all they from the
same family. So ray Kuon and ghost Face did it.
Yeah that's true, But now I don't not not cute
tip Buster. That's two totally different styles of music. Huh.
All right, I think Hello Hello and Buster would be
damn sure got enough callop. I gotta keep thinking about that.

(56:14):
I want to know who turned him down? Everybody? Five
people want to know who the five people are though
that he says turned them down? Well, you know t
I said, no, m all right. Now, Kanye has been
spotted out and about wearing these weird masks. I don't
know if you guys have seen it, but it's a
prosthetic mask, and so I don't know. I can't wait
to see what he's gonna do for Halloween. But I

(56:35):
guess that's just the way and people know it's him.
But I guess I don't know why he's trying to
make the mains popular too. I've seen the head cut.
What's that about? I don't know what that is, but
they said the masks from an old French movie villain
called phantomas Kanye does what he wants. Manta what that's

(56:56):
his name officially, he's changing name. Don't call him Kanye.
It's gonna be hard to do. Yay, all right, Yay
has also a broken a record he has because of
Little nas xis Industry Baby. He has produced five hot
one hundred number one hip hop songs, the most of
all hip hop producers. You know who's done four? Did
he so? Now because of Industry Baby he has five,

(57:18):
So congratulations to Yay Kanye. He didn't produce Industry Baby,
did he? Jetson made it. Produce the Industry Baby. Well,
according to this, Kanye has broken all kinds of records
and is his fifth. Maybe got production credit, maybe he's
sampled something. Jetson made it, made us all with Jack
Hallow and Little Knot that just one number one. I
mean Legga just says South Carolina's own Jetson made it. Well.

(57:40):
Sometimes people don't do things alone either, They collaborate and
produced together. You never heard about Kanye being on part
of that record ever. All right, well, it's on the
phone that's their Industry Baby is the first track YEA
he has produced to go number one since Stronger in
two thousand and seven, Get Drama on the phone. He
might have did the Drums Owner or something like that
co produced all right. Now, speaking of music, Kawhi Leonard

(58:02):
has shared a video for his Culture Jam project and
he was actually uh talking to n Ellie Choppa on FaceTime.
Here's what he said, was good and what's goody man
much in the studio over here, trying to be like

Well you give me your donkey too, man oh Man.
Four after the hour, we need to talk about home invaders. Okay,
this is a home invader that I don't want to say,
God lucky, but we'll talk about it four after the hour.
All right, we'll get into that next. It's the breakfast Club.
Good morning, the breakfast Club. Your morning's will never be
the same. Angela here, don't you wish everything was as

(01:00:26):
easy as getting quality coverage from the General Insurance? The
General offers the quality coverage you deserve at prices you
can afford. Switch to the General and you could save
over five hundred dollars. Call eight hundred General or visit
the General dot com. Some restrictions apply. It's gonna be
a dusky because right now you want some real doctor.
It's time for Donkey of the day. So if we

(01:00:48):
ever feel I need to be a dog man with
the heat, did she get day? I had become donkey
of the day the breakfast club. Bitch, you're a donkey.
Feel bad? I really feel bad. I feel I feel bad.
We were talking about a quick game behind the scenes,
and we all finished it. We didn't realize our god,

(01:01:08):
Nick didn't finish it. I didn't know he didn't finish it.
He walked out earlier saying that, okay, you can talk
about school game when I lead it around. I actually
already spoiled it. That's right. Anyway, dark Here to Day
for Wednesday, October twentieth goes to a forty three year
old man named Kevin William t Okay. Kevin is from
the Michigan area, and I swear in my old age,
I just be feeling sorry for people. I'm serious. I

(01:01:30):
used to come in here and just want to give
people to credit they deserve for being stupid. But when
I hear certain stories like this one of to Day,
I feel bad for Kevin because clearly, clearly something is wrong.
All right. We have to recognize when mentally someone is
not what they need to be. And I have empathy
for those people. I just do because I think something
that just out of their control. Some things are above them,
and I feel, I truly feel like this is one

(01:01:52):
of those situations. Now, was that said Kevin is a
home invader? Okay? If you wake up in the middle
of the night and a stranger is in your house,
does it matter what his or her mental or emotional
state is, they probably getting shot. Okay, well, at least
in my house. All right, now, I will send him
in his family healing energy after the fact. But hey,
that person made a choice to break it into him.

(01:02:13):
My house. I don't have time to figure out if
you know, if they're mentally unwell. Now, that has nothing
to do with the story I'm about to tell you,
Because Kevin broke into someone's house and he lived to
tell about it. In fact, he didn't just live to
tell about it. He lived to ask the police for help.
Uncle Shla, brother lend. What are you talking about? He
lived to ask the police for help after breaking into

(01:02:35):
someone's house. Well, let's go to news net for the report.
Police a Michigan State Police trooper from the Cadillac Post
respondent to a breaking and entering complaint at a home
on west Ridge Drive in Williamsburg. The homeowner reported she
was watching television in the living room when she saw
a man enter the room. She originally thought it was
her husband, However, when she realized it wasn't, she screamed.

(01:02:58):
Her husband came downstairs and told the man to leave.
The troopers searched the area and located the suspect, forty
three year old Kevin william Tegue from Williamsburg, in the
backyard of his parents home nearby. When the trooper attempted
to speak with Tigue, he fled into the woods. Later
that evening, Tigue called nine one one to report he

(01:03:19):
was lost. When troopers arrived, Tigue flagged them down, and
he was taken into custody and lodged in the Grand
Traverse County Jail. Tigue was arraigned for one count breaking
and entering without permission and one count resisting and obstructing police.
He was given a one thousand dollars bond and his
next scheduled court appearances on October twenty sixth. There's a

(01:03:41):
phrase God watches over babies and fools babies. Maybe it's possible. Okay,
God is in a babysitter per se, but he will
give the mother to scrimp to hold it down. But
watches over and not watches. It's a difference, all right.
The fool's part. I don't know about that, because Kevin,
I don't know if that was God watching over him
or just the luck of the draw. Okay, it's great

(01:04:04):
Kevin didn't get shot in these people's house. But why
would God be involved in this? Why would God have
sent this fool all right to do the breaking into
someone's house and didn't have him run off into the
woods and get lost. And then this man felt like
he could just call the police because he was lost,
never mind the fact he just committed a whole crime,

(01:04:25):
never mind the fact he was in the woods hiding
because of a crime he just committed. I'm gonna call
the police and tell them I'm lost. You don't think
they're gonna have questions on why you just randomly in
the woods at this time of night. What you're gonna
tell them? You're camping? Huh, you're hunting, just taking a walk? Y'all?
Do realize narcissism is considered a mental disorder, correct, Because
there's no way you commit a crime and didn't think

(01:04:45):
you are able to call the police because you're lost
if you're not a narcissist. All right, I honestly, I
can't even continue this story until we play a game
of guess what. Raising Maybe this will give us a
better understanding of this situation. Okay, Kevin william T, forty
three years old, broken into someone's house, lived to tell

(01:05:07):
about it, fled into the woods, then had the audacity
the unmitigated gaul to call nine one one to report
that he was lost. ANGELA, Ye, yes, what race he is? Well,
I'm gonna have to say he is Caucasian. What makes
you say Caucasian? ANGELA, Well, you know, we don't call

(01:05:28):
nine one one like that, And then he probably said,
I didn't know you couldn't do that. In the words
of Dave Chappelle, all right, Kevin william T, forty three
years old, broke into someone's house and fled into the woods,
then called nine one one to report that he was lost.
DJ N b Rashawn, Yes, what race it is? I'm

(01:05:48):
destroyed on this one. Why are you destroyed? All right?
Because it's I'm in the middle. Right, I'm gonna tell
you why right. First Dominican. No, I'm not Dominican black,
but I was thinking black at first, because I can
see a black person getting stuck in the woods and
then hearing animals and being like, nah, if dadam cool
and I will want to get out. Okay, But if
we did something illegal, we just we just tried to

(01:06:09):
set in the woods, sugg out with the bear, stuck
out with them bears, because we ain't calling no part.
Rather do these bears than be in jail. Yes, I
gotta go with callucasion. Okay, Well I want ange Lee
and DJ and VI didn't know that you bofar right,
Kevin william T gets our Caucasian. He had to call
Gathony the unmitigated white privileged gall to break into someone's house,

(01:06:33):
running too the woods, getting lost and then call the
police to help. And this bond is only a thousand
dollars for breaking into entering without permission and resisting and
obscructing police. And he resisted in obscrupted police without getting shot. Well,
if you just said that, I definitely I know I
didn't want to give that one away. Please give Kevin
william Tu the biggest he hull a matter of fact,

(01:06:56):
mccafy Griffin gets some of that. Please give this giant
Jaro may the biggest he heah heahaw. That is way
too much. Dann Man is there you go anywe are
you good man for the culture. He's talking Chris rock guy. Right,

(01:07:17):
it's this crack ass cracker, right, don't give it away. Now,
I don't say he say what it was right? The
crackers pointed to it. Jesus, all right, he didn't getting
ready crack crack doesn't hit the say that doesn't No,
actually it does that cracker always rips. Try one more time, Yeah,

(01:07:40):
crack of rips Brocker rips. Okay, what y'all say that slaps?
All right? Now up next, ask ye eight hundred five
five one on five one. If you need relationship advice
or any type of advice, call ye right, what? What? What? Nothing?
I'll tell y'all later. He is so silly. What happened?
I don't want to I definitely wanted to tell us later,

(01:08:02):
whatever it is, I don't want to hear it on that.
You know, I don't get shocked by much. Okay, all right,
it's a breakfast local morning. What what? What? What you
gonna know? Baby mama issues? See some words of wisdom?
All up now for asking eight hundred five eight five
one oh five one the Breakfast Club. Come on, need

(01:08:23):
relationship advice, need personal advice? Just need real advice? Hall
up now for asking morning. Everybody is dj Envy Angela, Yee,
Charloteen the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now it's
time to ask ye. If you need relationship advice to
any type of advice, you can call yee. Now we
got Kim on the line. Come on to Kim. Hey,

(01:08:43):
what's going on? Man? I gotta I got some small problems? Okay,
all right, So I got a four year old daughter,
I mean four my old daughters and baby. Three months ago, man,
her father got into an altercation where in terms big
and she caught the police one me and you know
what I'm saying. Now, I'm dealing with all the legal

(01:09:05):
stuff going on the deck really but we ended up
like getting back together making everything good. Well legally, I've
been coming different from a life every time the legal
stuff come up and I think about causing our law.
You go through all this over an argument that we
got over maybe an hour or two later and everything
and calmed out. So I just want to know life.

(01:09:27):
Am I being stubborn by life? Not trying to work everything?
Y'all wanted to get asking or what did I do?
Because right now I'm just gonna cross old because I
want to be at my daughter life. I just don't
really know him. I want to be with her mother. Okay,
Well a couple of things here. You said that the
argument got physical, so and in all honesty, did you

(01:09:48):
put your hands on her? I'll push them, Okay, So
you understand that that's wrong, and I know that you're
going through some legal things. It really does suck when
when these situations turn physical, she put her hands on you,
you put your hands on her. That has to be
really difficult for her as well, right, And so the
reason why you're going through the legal things that you're
going through and you have to own up to it,

(01:10:09):
is that you did put your hands on her. And
so that's that's something that's not easy for her and
I'm sure people who love her to have to deal
with two. As a man, you want, you're a woman
to feel protective and when things get physical, you have
to try to do, you know, diffuse a situation and
not do things like that. It sounds like you both
need to get some professional help to be able to
move forward because some people might say, you know, that

(01:10:31):
happened and she shouldn't be with you anymore, and I'm
sure sometimes she thinks that to herself as well. Now,
as far as whether or not you feel like you
want to be with her, those are some things that
you know, you guys are fresh out of this trying
to work through things. You're still dealing with legal issues,
but you got to take ownership of the reason that
you're dealing with It is your fault as well, right, Right,
It does feel as wallowing. You know, I don't she

(01:10:59):
called it and listen, and I know in our households
the worst thing you can do to a man is
called the cops on him, right, and then the system
takes over. But she might really have felt threatened in
that moment. Yeah, I mean, I understanding the moment. The
moment could have been been. It's never been to theres
a well, the police had to be called over that,

(01:11:20):
even if I don't really feel like the police had
to be involved, because like in a lot of states,
sent Florida like one and brought apart up to the state.
It don't matter if y'all the made off kids to
make all that state feel like they want to do
something something about it, then I gotta do it. I
gotta deal with that, even though we straight at home,

(01:11:42):
you know, and as a woman, Cam, I have to
say that she wasn't wrong for that. You really did
put your hands on her. So unfortunately, you know, that
is the consequences of the actions that took place, and
I'm hoping that this is something that will never happen again,
and that you got whether or not you're together, can

(01:12:03):
raise your daughter because you you know, you have a
child whose four months old. You would hate to see
something like that happened to your child as you have
a girl, right yea, yeah, and you know you should
be very protective of that and understand that as a woman,
maybe she felt like at the moment, I'm scared, I
gotta just call the cops because I want to make
sure nothing happens to me, because you don't know what
was going on in her head or what type of

(01:12:23):
trauma she's suffering from. After that as well, it sounds
like y'all both need to get some professional help to
be able to first and foremost tie priority take care
of your child together, and then for you to make
sure that nothing like this happens again. And I'm sure
that on her end there's work that she needs to
do as well so that these arguments. Y'all, as a
couple or even as parents, you're not going to agree

(01:12:46):
on everything, and you have to learn how to be
able to disagree but in a productive manner. And as parents,
y'all need to be able to figure out those two
You have a four month old, so there's a long
road ahead for the two of you to be able
to at least at the minimum co parent well, so
I think what would be great for you right now
is to show that you are stepping up to the plate.

(01:13:07):
You acknowledge the fact that you did something that felt
threatening to her. You are now paying the consequences for that.
You know that you'll never do that again, and take
every step you can to make sure that it can
be positive moving forward from a little better. Thank thank
you so much. Hey, by the way, I love you more,

(01:13:30):
king man. Listen, thank you for what to do on
rental home. I'll need those books. Get to help me
as well. I'm gonna sing you, hey, hey, I'm gonna

He e. Now it's the breakfast Club. Go on, I'm
gonna keep for you some real advice with Angela yet,
ask ye morning. Everybody is dj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomne
the guy we are the breakfast club with in the

(01:14:35):
middle of ask ye Hello, who's this? Hi? My name
is Nora. Hey, Nora, Hi, I'm so excited. I'm sorry.
I'm just super nervous, tous, like really wanted to talk
to you guys for so long about this. Okay, now
we're ready to We're listening, Nora, Okay. My question is
pertaining to a situation about my dad. Um my mom

(01:14:57):
and dad. They have been married for forty years and
they're from a different country. However, of course they go
and visit sometimes. My dad just recently visited their country
and when he came back, he started acting pretty weird.
He is an older man, so he always asked me
to like help with things on his phone because he

(01:15:21):
doesn't know how to do it that well. But then
now after he came back from his trip, he was
acting weirdlys and testing his phone. He was hovering over me.
I just thought it was just old people, you know,
things that they do, so I was didn't think about it. However,
when I got alone with his soul and I went
through his text messages, I saw that he was entertaining
and sending money to another female that he met in

(01:15:46):
this country during his trips. He now right, So I
instantly got upset by it, because not only are you
cheating on my mom, but you're sending money to this
woman that we don't even know. My mom she does
have dementia. So I was even more upset by that

(01:16:06):
because I wasn't sure if I should even like bring
this up to my mom or if I should bring
it up to him. But I didn't want to bring
it up to him, and he gets mad at me
for like going through his phone, being that I'm his
child and not his wife. He's sixty by it. Okay,
So you want to know what should you do? Yeah?
Should I even say anything to my mom about this,

(01:16:28):
you know? Or if I should just go ahead and
keep it to myself, or should I bring it up
to him. I don't even know what to do with
this situation, because you know they've been married. For you,
I've never experienced this, my god, you know, I'm gonna
say a few things here, right, and everybody's situation is different.
So from my point of view, you don't even know

(01:16:49):
what your parents' situation is with each other. A lot
of times we're unaware right of things that may have
happened in the past, understanding that they might have with
each other. You don't know if this is something he's
done before she ever, you don't know any of that, right,
And so this is really just something right now that
you need to deal with with him, because I'm never
a fan of keeping things to myself, because I can

(01:17:09):
imagine how that would make you feel about him. You
already have a feeling about you know, obviously your mom
is suffering from dementia. That's not easy. You feel like
he's betraying her and the family. And on top of that,
he's sending money to some woman that is most likely
just taking advantage of him and his generosity. But clearly
he's also yeah, and clearly he's also lonely, and it's

(01:17:31):
not easy to have been with somebody as long as
your parents have been together to watch her suffer from dementia.
We already know how hard that is on families, and
I'm sure for him, it's really difficult, but I would
say that for both you and your father it's worth
a conversation. It might be something that would benefit him
as well. But you cannot keep that to yourself. And

(01:17:53):
you guys have to have that whole conversation because there's
things at play here that you may not even know about.
You know, as far as the faculty that he's having,
as far as maybe things about your parents' relationship that
you're not aware of. And like you said, your mama
is suffering from dementia. I don't know that something like
this would be beneficial for you to bring up to
her at this point. But I think with your father,

(01:18:17):
you definitely because you don't want to have these feelings
of animosity toward him. It's something that you should talk
to him about, but go into it with an open mind,
knowing that they might have things going on that you're
not even aware of, and he might have his own
struggles that he's dealing with and it's not going to
be an easy conversation for him to have. But you

(01:18:37):
also don't want to say your father getting taken advantage
of right at the same time. All right, he is
too old to be acting this way, and I just
so as they if you know, end that he's with
someone for as he's been without some forty years. He
has you know, pity issues, and she took care of
come through all of that, you know, regardless of her
mental propowerty, our capabilities. I just felt like he owes

(01:19:02):
her a lot more loyalty. And the only reason why
I was fully upset about him sending money for her
was because my dad definitely asked me for money time
and time again, and I'm the one that is actually
setting the bill about he is sending right, and you know,
for me moving forward, I wouldn't give him money, but
what he needs it for I would take care of.
So if he's like I need to get this, okay,

(01:19:24):
no problem that I got it, I'll send it to you.
I'm gonna order it for you online. I'm gonna take
care of that bill for you, because you don't want
to be sending him money for him to be sending
to somebody else. And truthfully, if that was me, I
would text the girl and be like, this is his daughter,
you know, leave my dad alone and you're not gonna
take it. Yeah, I would. I always that was just
how I am. I would do that, but you should

(01:19:45):
definitely have that conversation just with your father, and it
wouldn't hurt for you guys to actually talk to someone together,
a professional that can help him work through his feelings
and understand it, and for you as well, because I
would hate for anything to happen to your here ends
like they're older, and you don't want to have these
feelings of animosity, of regret of whatever you might feel resentment,

(01:20:07):
you know, later on. So I would love to see
you deal with that now, yeah, because I definitely do.
I love and appreciate my dad. He has been there
for me since day one, who does anything for me,
and I is the last thing I would want is
to have any negativity forward him, you know, throwing his
last few years that I may have with him. But

(01:20:29):
that really chocked me and it definitely didn't hurt me.
And I don't like, I appreciate the advice to give
because I honestly didn't know how to go about our approaches.
All right, Nora, Well, I wish you so much luck
and were sending you so much love because I can't
even fathom what that's like. But it is complicated, thank
you ye, and thank you guys for answering my paul. Thanks,

(01:20:51):
good luck, thank you all right, ask ye eight hundred
five eight five one oh five one. If any relationship
advice or any type of advice need rumors all the way. Yes,
And let's talk about the co CEO of Netflix, Ted
Sarrondosi is speaking out more about Dave Chappelle and how
he did not communicate well with his employees. All right,

(01:21:12):
we'll get to that. Next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Ye on the
Breakfast Club. So Magic Johnson was on CBS News and
one thing that he discussed was the vaccination controversy and
whether NBA players should tell the public to get vaccinated.

(01:21:33):
Here's what he said, Oh for sure. You know, that's
why I got my two shots and made sure I
put it out on social media. I wanted especially my
community to know that first of all, is safe. And
the players, again, people listen to them, they follow them.
That's very important. Plus the last thing is this, you

(01:21:54):
have said to your teammates, I'm gonna be there for you. Well,
you can't be there if you don't get vaccinated. You're
letting them down and then that hurts our chances of
winning the championship. I would never do that to my teammates.
What was the question again, now, whether or not NBA
players should have the responsibility of telling the public to
get vaccinated? Yeah, I say I believe players getting the
vaccine is promotion enough. All those athletes who have huge

(01:22:17):
endorsement deals won't even take pictures next to certain products
because they know them being seen with those products are
an endorsement. So what's the better endorsement than NBA players
saying they have the vaccine? Like, why do they got
to go out there and do commercials and everything else?
Like ninety five percent of the NBA is vaccinated? Is
that not enough? Yeah? I think it's ninety percent. Is
that not enough to, you know, go out there and
encourage people to get the vaccine? All right? Well yeah

(01:22:38):
he was just asked about it, So that was his
answer to that question. All right. Now. Snoop Dogg has
and as a new algorithm LP and it has a
new Mount Westmore single on their featuring ice Cube too
Short any forty. Of course they're collectively known as Mount Westmore.
So here is Big Subwaffer frames, Big Sub with a

(01:23:09):
bouncing like a tramp for lane glass shake, going to
roll past the same candy apple paint, dripping glass of
green everybody eating. You can ask the team fast to me,
Speaker's bumping, taxes clean, keep me something to smoke on,
bad to poke hole base hitting like an earthquake, because
hold on, I hit the block and roll home. All right?
I heard that big sub with for that sounds good.

(01:23:32):
Fifty today? Right? You said, what snoop is fifty today? Right? Oh?
Is he? Okay? Number dropping? It's a lot of birthday
today day is also NBA Young Boy's birthday. I think,
how was it you today? Twenty two? Now? Yes, it
was fifty today, Okay. I feel like is Vice President
Harris's birthday? Yes, Kamala Harris's birthday. It's a big day,

(01:23:54):
all right. Money bag Yo has also announced Against his
Pain and reloaded seven new songs. There's gonna be some
new songs on it and we'll be getting that this Friday.
So some of the new songs. Dj Khalett another one
Waukeisha remix featuring Little Wayne, Switches and Drake speak to
You a Little Dirk EStG and Pooh chicsty So make

(01:24:16):
sure y'all check that out. I know you went to
It's asap Ferg's birthday too. Shout the Ferg. It's a
lot of birthdays happening movies all right. Now. Netflix is
Ted Serrandos, he is the co CEO, is speaking out.
He had gotten criticism for the Dave Chappelle comedy special
The Closer, and he made a lot of comments about it.
But he does say that he screwed up and the

(01:24:37):
handling of employee concerns, and he's not taking down the special,
but he does say that he should have basically said
that he was sorry for people's feeling pain and hurt
from a decision that they made, instead of kind of
dismissing that. And so he said, storytelling has a real
impact in the real world. I reiterate that because it's that,

(01:24:59):
because it's why I work. Here's why we do what
we do. That impact can be hugely positive and it
can be quite negative. So I would have been better
in that communication. They were joining a conversation already in
progress but out of context. But that happens. Internal emails
go out in all my communications, I should lean into
the humanity upfront and not make a blanket statement that
could land very differently than it was intended. So he

(01:25:20):
said he made some blanket and matter of fact statements
that are not all accurate, and he said that it
was uncharacteristic for him. He was moving fast and trying
to answer really specific questions, but there were a group
of employees who were definitely feeling pain and hurt, and
he should have led with a lot more humanity. Nothing
wrong with that. I don't want to know what content

(01:25:40):
are you going to create that everyone is going to
agree with, though, Like it doesn't matter what it is comedy,
news radio, someone is going to be the topic of
said discussion. Or even when you're presenting a certain you know,
lifestyle or something somebody's not going to agree with. It
doesn't matter what it is, right, And I guess when
you have employees who have concerns, you just lead with
humanity and understanding of that, because he does. He is

(01:26:04):
aware that everybody's not going to like everything, and so
you can't make blanket statements. You just kind of have
to lean into that humanity. I hear people who complain
about poles, I hear people who complain about sisters. I
hear people who complain about spells, specials, like everybody's gonna
always have something to say. Some people even complain about
the Breakfast Club, believe it or not. Really, no, no,
that's not true. Nobody ever complaint about the Breakfast Club

(01:26:27):
and eleven years we've never had no complaints. Stop. But
we lean into humanity. And Charlomagne was on Stephen Colbert
last night, and well know, I meant to say, Lenard
mckelby was on. I go to my therapist a lot,
and I talk to her about getting caught up in
the charcterature of yourself. And it's like for me, you know,
the name Lenard Mantelby grounds me because when I hear it,
I hear my grandma, I hear my mom, I hear

(01:26:49):
my wife. Like nobody calls me Charlotmagne at the house,
you know me? And I remember we had Will Smith
on the Breakfast Club like last year. He said, you know,
he had read in my book and he was talking
to me and he was like, I'm seeing the real
you poke out and he was like, I just want
you to know that you don't have to wear the
mask anymore. You are enough. And I was like, are
you tapping my phone. It's my therapist giving you notes

(01:27:12):
on me, like how do you know that? So I
just felt like that was God talking through him in
that moment to let me know, you know what, You're
on the right path. You don't need to wear to
mask him. We don't have to be the character of
Charlotta Magne. You can be Leonard. Leonard is enough, that's right,
dropping a clues bombs for Will Smith, that's right, drop
a bond first. Charlotta ain't poking out. Leonard is poking out.

(01:27:33):
Also for legacy. Also for legacy, because I got four
daughters and I want all of them to keep our
last name. When you know, they get older, if they
get married, you know, do the hyphen thing, but keep
the mckelvy, keep the legacy going. I'm not out here
breaking these generational curses for nothing. All right, Well that
is your reports. Proud of you, bro, and I do
want to thank everyone who's been watching other Gods on
his True Phone. Comedy Central show's been doing really well.

(01:27:54):
