(24:14):
Now you can do it you want to do now?
Let me ask you this, what made you decide to
do it special after all this time? Right? Because I'm
sure you had other opportunities to do something. But what
made you decide now is the right time? Because I
thought other things were more important at the time, you
know what I'm saying, like and I mean, specials are
always gonna be there. But at the same time, specials
are like albums now, and do people really care about

(24:35):
albums like that anymore? Depends who it is, Yeah, depends
who it is exactly so, so I wanted to get
to a point where I was one of that. It
depend on who it was. What is your favorite stand
up special though that you've seen? Don't watch none of them.
I really don't. When you watch Bill Burr, I did,
but I didn't even watch all that, but Paul I
did watch. I like watching people that just don't give

(24:55):
a like me. But see the difference is they on
a whole other level too. Here at a point that's
where every commune want to be, at the point where
no matter what you say, they don't care. Yeah, And
I feel like I'm at that in my in my world.
But I wouldn't be there in all worlds. I think
that's impossible nowadays. I think even if they know you
to be that, they're gonna still find ways to be offended.

(25:16):
That's the thing, right to be able to if you
can say whatever it is you want to say, you
just got to be able to deal with whatever the backlash. Year.
And I feel like I'm like that because I'm so
immune and scoring to it, just just from being on
social media and me and you all. There ain't nobody
being through most stuff to me and you. I get
canceled every month yourself. It's so I'm so immune to
the book, it's it's almost like I'm scoring from it.

(25:37):
I don't even notice when I'm being being I don't
even be over there. People be hitting me like you know,

So now they're trying to say that's wrong, it's not
okay to kiss a woman. Oh you talk about the
real real yes man. So so that's a charge now,

(26:46):
yes man, And y'all wonder why I won't tell no
more stories about back in the day in Daytona. Yeah,
Disneyland's new snow White ride criticized when including Prince Charming's
non consensual kiss. Snow White was dead. The kiss brought
her back to life. She didn't ask for it though.

(27:07):
They saying that about CPR. You sitting me something, earliss
and you can't do people that get mad like that.
I'd be wanting to sit there and talk to them
like person, not what they post. I want to sit
there and ask them questions. And if you talk to them,
they don't realize they really ain't that big of a deal.
They just they just need something to talk to. Like,
but what they don't realize enough to society and care
about it more. You care about something that's not really

(27:28):
a big deal, and it makes the society feel like
it's a bigger deal and that we're making a big
deal because now people emotions get evolved in and then
it's not that like in my in my mind, I'd
be thinking, how privileged do you that the only thing
you got to complain about it in your life is
not Prince Charman's kiss was consensual with snow White. By way,
It's way worse things than snow White. By the way,

(27:50):
it's way. I don't want people forget snow on this
show because somebody's gonna correlate the world. No, I'm just
snow white. Mama died during the childbirth. Nobody want to
talk the maternal death rate. Nobody want to talk about
revenge the Nerds movies, we definitely want to talk about that. No,
you see what I'm saying. Let's move on now. Would
you fight Floyd Mayweather for twenty to fifty dolland dollars?

(28:12):

Like this is how boyd the entertainment's got. Damn ain't
really watching Mayweather and Logan Paul or is it? Logan

worked too hard, yes, because it's like it's too easy

(30:01):
to make money entertaining that, like you ain't even gotta
have that much sense, and I'd be overthinking that the company.

what happened when you do independent. Yeah. Well I was
cool with it, Like I really enjoyed the tour, the
fact that I did my own tour and we did
all those and they was all sold out. I was
just happy to do that. And like I could say,
I did my own tour so and you said, I
mean I didn't go broke off of it. But the

(31:08):
fact that I took everybody on tour that was down

But you got all girls? One boy? Damn damn. So
what's what's fatherhood like for you? How has it changed
you as a man? Oh? Man? I mean that's the
best name of it happened to me. You know what
I'm saying. I feel like that's like half of my purpose. Uh,
because just being with my sixteen year old she you know,
she just turned sixteen in March, and just to get

(33:31):
her from a baby to there. I was just like, wow,
like it was a learning lesson, you know what I'm saying.
So now I'm like, I'm good. But it's all the time.
You know what I'm saying, is all the time. It's
not like because I'm hands on, and it just made
me stay in the house more, you know what I'm saying,
Like when everybody else robbing and getting killed, i'd be

(33:52):
hearing about it. Now is everything for me? Though? How
would change your perception of just women in general? My
wife did that because I you know, my first baby
out one really at home to go through the whole
you know, pregnant thing. When when you you know, after
the baby, the you know, stayed up every day like
but I've seen it with this. It's like man, women

(34:14):
based on strong jokers. Man, Like they really like can
have a baby in you running around trying to catch
another one and trying to feed this one, hey man,
Like y'all some tough people. Because I don't woke up
like she were like, yeah, they were waking up all
through the night. I was like, when when when that happened?
Like you could have told me it's like, you like

(34:37):
what it's crazy though, that love and hip hop? What
made you do love hip hop? And did you ever
regretted at all? Now? I don't regret doing loving hip hop.
I feel like it tapped me back into the entertaining life,
you know what I'm saying, Because I was, I was
lost for a minute. I was you know that one
little situation happened to me while I was going down

(34:58):
that the older x X of all exes, you know
what I'm saying, Like when every time I came here,
we talked about it. You hear me all we only
got to talk about exactly and that's how I wanted
to be people like that. But it was like I
had like just painful years of just being stressed out,
and you know why, Like what am I doing? Know

(35:19):
what I'm saying. So when I got with love and
hip hop, I ain't even I slick, didn't even want
to wrap no more. I was like the TV money,
but come come good, come way better than that, you
know what I'm saying. Sending in the dangers at the club,
you know what. So I was like, yeah, I'm cool
with that, but you know it was just like you know, God,
told me, Jip be myself, everything else gonna work out,

(35:40):
you know what I'm saying, Like I ain't gotta be.
I feel like I was clowning, you know first for
you know what I'm saying, seasons just clowning because I
didn't know what to do. I ain't know how to
use it. I ain't know how to be on TV
like that, you know what I'm saying, and or take
the criticism that the world giving me like that. So
when I when I was going through that, I was like,
damn man, Like it's famous man, but you know, you

(36:02):
know what I'm saying, ain't it ain't the same famous
rap either, Like it's like it's rapping I you know,
people scared to say had they standing over here you
know what I'm saying, but they you know, I'm looking
at that like damn bro. Like it did catapulte my situation.
It made people aware of who Scrappy was again because
at first people was like coho it right, I know
I know him so well, but I don't see him

(36:23):
so will beer fol And I'm like some weberfol when
I'm you know, I'm rocking these concerts, these stages. Everybody
telling about they love me and all that bit. Folko,
y'all loving me, you know what I'm saying. But it
really put me back to where I could. I could
look you know, some of my my home is back
in the face again, like hey, what's up? What's happening?
If you have a plan though, Like you look at Candy,

(36:45):
she had a restaurant. He he leaks to the restaurant
one of the girls from the house while I've got
a skinny wine. When did you say, you know, I
need to come up with a plan because I need
to make this work for me. I just started doing
that like two years ago, now, like two to two
seasons ago. I started doing that, like you know, that's
why I said. I didn't know how to use it
to my for myself. I was just doing what they

(37:06):
needed me to do, making any money, because to me,
I feel like it's w wf w W. Like it's
really like entertainment added onto your real life, you know
what I'm saying, your real love life. I just looked
at I was like, hey, man, the women, my mama,
my wife, everybody day good. I'm good. You know what
I'm saying. My daughter is she good? That's all I

(37:28):
was caring about it for but then I was like,
hey man, listen, man, I need to hat like leave
them something. So when I started looking at that, and
I was aware of that, because I ain't always been
aware I always I said, I like to tell people,
I was always chasing a little scrapping you know what
I'm saying, the little guy. So when I stopped chasing
him and I came aware of what was really going on,
like two years ago, So what's the plan there? So what?

(37:50):
So what are you doing? I'm opening up a clothing spot,
you know what I'm saying. And I'm I'm gonna do
a thirst store called scraps hell. Already it's already one
like that. Scraps I mean every city state I go
to it, some scrap metal place that's called scrap. Now,
I don't mean scrap. I'm talking like a thrift store.
So like all old clothes, like I think about all

(38:12):
old jeans you don't wear no more, and sneakers and
you get mad people to bring different stuff and it's
like a good will, but it would be called scraps
you don't like. That's just he's looking at the money
parts like I'm gonna make money over that. Yeah, it's
I just give my clothes away, you know what. I'm
dry cleaning and have a Yeah, I come up with
a with a like a gi yeah, like something like that,

(38:33):
and then y'all come pick old scrappy clothes up, you
know what I'm saying, or whoever clothes up. I do that,
but they ain't you know, I just give them my
own scrap. I'm looking for a score. Yeah. So I'm
gonna have an independent clothing store to where I opened
it up for independent people that are really trying to
get in. They fit in the game and really have

(38:54):
their stuff structured, you know what I'm saying. Like it
ain't just you don't have one just like a T
shirt or something. You got a whole line them clothing,
you know what I'm saying. And also I'm gonna have
a Cereal bar in now. You know what I'm saying,
Cereal bar, you know. And the reason I say that
because anybody can eat cereal. Old person, kids, I don't
care what you're into. You can eat Cyria, you know

(39:14):
what I'm saying. And as soon as soon as they
legalize marriage, Juana, I'm gonna flip it out, all right,
we got mover a little scrappy. When we come back,
don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, holding everybody
as DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are
the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with a little
scrappy Charlemagne. Did you ever think that, you know, you
being on reality TV with like Eclipse, people taking you

(39:37):
serious as anything else. Yeah, for a minute, they stopped
taking me serious. I swear they stopped taking me serious
like a joke. Like people see me and they just
laugh like that, you know what I'm saying. They see
they'd be like, what are you funny? You stupid? It'd
be like, and I've been saying that. Look, I'm like,
what's so funny? Like what is you laughing? I'm playing

(39:57):
like what's so funny? But know what it was, was
like I get it, you know what I'm saying, because
I I'm a little jokes till you know what I'm saying.
But and you know, when them cameras ain't known, you know,
I take my life real serious. You know what I'm saying,
But I try not to take it so serious that
I can't laugh. You know what I'm saying I hate
them type. You know what I'm saying, that type. I
like to laugh. I like the joke and all that.

(40:17):
But it's like when you got wrapped involved and I
know I left it alone. It's like that that kept me,
That kept people like I don't know, I don't know
if I should walk upon because and not like I
don't know because that part of me was gone. You know,
I'm I'm gonna drive on. You know, we might have
the box out here, but on this side, you know,
you're looking round the TV. I'm with my woman, I'm

(40:40):
with my mama, like you see me in vulnerable positions.
You know what I'm saying. I can't really who I'm
in the box out right now? You know what I'm saying,
Who I'm in the fight and for what? You know
what I'm saying. So it's like they get that missing
screwed and mixed up thinking that you know, oh, hom
and just hes just a comedian. You know what I'm saying. Well, no,
I'm not jocked. You know what I'm saying. That's my
cus and liked dude. He actually like benched off and

(41:03):
in the comedy with radio personality. All that I'm not
that you know what I'm saying, Like the show you
it is, people would assume that it's soon. But but
that's what I tell people. It's only one part of me.
You know what I'm saying. A human being got so
many mechanisms of their life, you know what I'm saying,
Like it break down in all kinds of ways, Like
this is how I act with my my woman, this

(41:25):
is I act with the street. This I act like
in the street, they do they see me? You know,
I'm I'm on an alert mode because I'm in the street.
You know what I'm saying. You can't just walk up
on me and be like, hey lah, ain't none of
that because, like I don't know, you we complex individuals.
I was wishing TDJS did discernment about that yesterday, just
how humans are complex people. Yeah, and we but we
all got to understand that. We all got to understand

(41:47):
that the human that's sitting across from me is actually humans. Yeah,
we get you know, you know now, I was just
discussing that this morning because you know, just like sometimes
even we get on the radio and we don't really
we're talking. We're casually talking about other people's traumas. Yeah,
we casually like we triggering the lot of people, you

(42:07):
know what I mean? Yeah, and you got like, as
black people, we think our trauma is okay. We really
it's dude freaky, but like we think everything is okay.
Like you you, uh, somebody get killed killed, somebody going
to hospital or everybody be like, oh that's cool. They
be out dang for real. He posted to forget about that.

(42:33):
But if he forget about it, then that's one more
thing added to his pain. Because you damn the dying
which pent up stress. Like you dine with stress, You
dine with pain that could be gone and you could
be moving on with life. You know what I'm saying.
But I talked to a shrink. I don't even care
like I call a shrink. I call a just a

(42:55):
mind releaser because because she would just released the mind
untangle it. You know what I'm saying, Lo've been going
to therapist scrapping it was. I want to say it
since I was married, because how long ago that eighteen
I started twenty sixteen. Yeah, yea, my wife putting me
on it that you like, you need to talk to
somebody because you got a lot of stories well me, Like,
what was it that finally made you say, ma, I'm

(43:16):
gonna sit down somebody. I know your wife was saying that,
But what was the moment, what was the breaking point?
Like man talk? Because because I just see I like,
you get into them a little dark places, man, and
it like if you stay there and you don't get
help or you don't you know, pray and have faith
or something like that, You're gonna go all the way down.
And I'm bent down. I said, O, let me just
before I get all the way down, let me get

(43:38):
catch up for a real quickly and go see if
this will work. I pray when and did that, and
it just started. And it seemed like even from the
first time, it was just stuff releasing. I feel released
every time, just a relief of I don't got that
on me no more, you know what I'm saying. So
after that it felt like crap for real, Like I
addicted to it, you know, just like working out on

(44:00):
the working out. I've never even been on it before.
I just going there for two weeks. I got my
little pump. Then I'm good. You know that. It's like
everyday thing like it's it helped my mental my physical
my spirit like it's all health. Yeah, it's all hell.
We talk about health like it's just the physical thing.
It's mental health. Yeah, Like like I had somebody, I
got into it to the to the gym because first

(44:22):
I got my mind right. You know what I'm saying
to myself. I gotta get my body right, because I
already had my spirit right when I got into that
accident a little minute ago and I almost died, I
was like, something, we gotta switch it up, you know
what I'm saying. So I already had my spirit right,
had my mind right. So I was like, man, I
gotta get in there and get my body right. You
know what I'm saying. It just waking. I can move

(44:42):
around and it and it moves stuff out the way.
You know, all the problems that I think A real
big is real light. You know what I'm saying. The
weed too, but you know that medicin. Yeah, I gave
it up. I mean because I ain't want to go
to jail, you know what I'm saying. I was playing
with them folks, Yeah, I was on. I was on

Before your probation is up, you're gonna do the whole thing.
And he said, you you you look young enough where

(46:27):
you can you know you'll still be okay when you
come back. I was like, wow, because that's two more years,
you know what. I'm so after that, I just stopped
playing because you also, I remember I saw you say
a reality TV ruined a lot of your relationships. Yeah, yeah,
all of them, all of them family not not not family?
So what because me and my mom will always be

(46:48):
at it. You know, we'd be at it without the TV.
I love it. But did she change once she got famous? No,
Mama always stayed the same. Okay, you just got like
people are wearing for her craziness and and they think,
you know, people think like Mama d be asking. But
that's that's how she always been. So what relationships got rude?

(47:11):
Like all the you know, like friends like home girls,
you know what I'm saying. Um almost run my late
relationship with my wife. You know what I'm saying, homies,
You know what I'm saying because I was I was
in that that mode. Like I said, I just wanted
to do reality TV because that was giving me that
that It was giving me that little scrappy field. You

(47:33):
know what I'm saying. How you know when I was
a little scrappy and I was you know, everybody was
like man, you know, they was giving me that adelation,
that love, and I was like, ah, because I always
wanted that back. You know what I'm saying. Just I
was like, man, if I can just get that one time,
one more time, because I didn't get it like how
it was supposed to being gotten. You know what I'm saying.
I was always I was as John artist he signed
with fifty of them or oh he would alluded. I'm like, no, bro,

(47:56):
I want I want this for myself. Bro, like I
need this, I need I need this for me. I
need I need to just be that guy. And I
don't know, man, I just rap rap. Just it brought
me out to the forefront because I was sitting there
looking at the reality TV and I'm like, if this
is gonna end all my my little friendships and relationship

(48:17):
because I'm looking at TV like this is what I
want to do, and then the home is like, man,
we you know acting like that for bro, come on
with y'all like real, cuse y'all in that other world.
I ain't into that world no more. All right, we
got more with a little Scrappy when we come back,
don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody.
It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are

(48:40):
the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with a little
scrappy Charlemagne. You know, it's interesting because you mentioned all
the labels you was with, and I've heard people say, oh, man,
Scrappy is a clickhopper, But to me, it's like it's business.
It's all business with me. I came from the mud,
bro like straight mud, like, ain't no want nobody helping me,
Nobody give me no money. I had to get all
my by myself and have no no, no educated manager.

(49:03):
Everybody that knew I got it straight head for just
like I got probably a run dmc l COO J deal.
We were like the guinea pigs for the South, like
we were the first kids that was really from Atlanta,
that had a whole era that was that they was
up under and you know, you just want to you
just trying to get out the hood. When they say

(49:24):
click hoopper man, It's like my is business all the
way around, because everybody got to go through the up
and down. How you hand the Yosha down? Because I
always tell people it's gonna be a lot of hurt
young dudes in a minute, bro from this era, you
know what I'm saying, from the big money era, because
they don't even know what they're doing with all of it,
any financial literacy exactly. They don't even know what. They

(49:47):
don't even know it's occurred, it's gonna happen, and someone
so lit on drugs but they don't even know. Their
time is almost up, you know what I'm saying. And
now they got to find out what they're gonna do
to sustain what they've created. You know what I'm saying,
because once everything shut down wants a new person come.
Everybody focused on that new person. You can see it
with when when it comes to the different groups like

(50:09):
man Outcast was everything, you know what I'm saying, Goodie mobs, everything,
Little John east Side boy come in. They're like, hey man,
y'all cool man, but they turned the club buff over here,
over here, you know what I'm saying. And it's like,
you just got to understand the curve. You gotta know
how to deal with that, you know what I'm saying.
And everybody ain't gonna know how to deal with that.
Everybody not gonna be to deal with them losses because

(50:31):
they've been winning for so long. You know, it's crazive
you were signing the white people. They would never say
that if you had did, if you had did a
deal with a white label, they went to another white label,
they went to another one. They all white labels, all
of them. Don't give what black man is at the
head of it. It's somebody white that running. They don't
look at it his business. They look at his crews like,
oh he was with John, now with you. And I

(50:52):
would need the people to know it's business. These are labels, yeah,
and and and you can ask and one of them
people like the only crew that really took me in,
like a crew crew that was John them. I mean
that was the first name that was our that It
wasn't even a crew that was odd thing. That was
everybody where I'm from. Yeah, that's everybody in my in

(51:14):
my pot. You know what I'm saying. We all came
from the same pot. You know what I'm saying. So
it's like, you know, I wasn't jumping. I'm gonna tell
you what I did. Due though I seen the situation
with John them, it wasn't. I had had a little
situation in Palacca, Florida while you know, I got hit
with the balling So I seen that. I seen the
game changing on me, like want nobody with me? Because

(51:36):
I had my little situation. I was like, damn, what
is gonna go. But at the end of the day,
rest in peace, Chris Light it was my manager, you
know what I'm saying. So Chris knew I was cool
with fifty and Buck. So he was like, I'm gonna
make something happened. If they're not gonna pit you, then
we gotta still keep moving. And so he just said,
we're gonna bridge the gap Atlanta, New York. Were donna

(51:56):
make it, make it makes sense. Then he can fit
to call me the Blue Hey, we're gonna We're gonna
make it make sense. Bro, We're gonna I'm gonna holiday, John,
We're gonna see what we canna do. I'm sitting in
Tom Wiley House, bro, and it's like a little food house.
They do dinner and stuff at me. Fifty sent John
like we all Chris Lighty, we all sent that the
having big meeting, bigger as meeting about me and my life.

(52:20):
And Fifty said it straight up. He said, scrappy towns
and I believe with me and John and Warner Brothers,
he can be the biggest rap dude ever, the bigger
than us. What happened from there? Because I mean they
thought you were gonna be the biggest artist, bigger than
fifth and then what happened? Well, you think the whole
Warner brother label just shut down, like pre album week,

(52:45):
like the same week could Like I've come out on Tuesday, Monday,
when you supposed to go make your little run through
the offices and shake hand kids babies, nobody is there.
I was like, damn on my own, like when my
diffendly come out, I ain't know nothing, I ain't know
what to do but to just do that myself. And
then and then you know, fifty he was like, yeah,

(53:07):
I did my part. You know what I'm saying, like,
you know what John gonna do. He can't. He's been
around you the whole time, but it didn't want to work.
They're about doing their own thing. I just chomped it
up though. I just would like, shit, it's part of
the game. You know. I ain't gonna cry about it.
You know what I'm saying, Just you gotta do it again?
Which was your relationship with john Nae minimum You know
what I'm saying, holt him or not? And then you

(53:29):
know what I'm saying, no love loss. You know you
think you get your proper respect as an atl artists?
Oh no, definitely not, definitely not. They don't. They don't
do that because if they did that, then they would
move some of the people that are popping out the way.
You know what I'm saying, like, I ain't gonna lie.
They when when certain people came in the game, and
I don't know which ones it was, bro, but it

(53:49):
had to be a feud that didn't like me, you
know what I'm saying, Like, and I'm like, damn, always
looked out, Bro, I always jumped on, didn't care a little.
But it's that thing that I'm bigger than you now.
It bothered me at further, but then I looked at
I'm like, you know what I mean, like, I am me.
Are you gonna do more music? Yes? I got a
song out right now called Jordan the Florida. We're featuring

(54:11):
Tom G. But we were gonna play. But I got
a couple more questions, like, you know, did you know
Nucke if you Buck was the Negro spiritual? It was
when when y'all recorded it, Because people don't you're talking
on the intro. I don't know if people realized that, no,
they think it's my song. Uh, I knew it was
something amazing, bro. I never heard anything like it when
I first heard. I know, right the way let Jay

(54:33):
did the beat and the way they was rapping. It
was like how we wrapped at the lunch table. You
know what I'm saying. I was like, damn, how we
wrapped at the lunch table. Y'all really doing it and
it was a whole style. I ain't even like it
at further, But you're like, Nook if you Buck, ain't
like the style the rap because I felt it was
like kind of Triple six is Memphis. I'm you know,
I'm Atlanta all the way you know what I'm saying.

(54:54):
So I was like, hey, I don't know. But then
one day my ear woke up. Kau John was like, nah,
like that's that new you know, that's the new flow,
you know what I'm saying. So I'm listen. I'm like, oh,
might be right, you know what I'm saying. So once
we heard it after they got mixed and master, because
you know them two different sounds, you know, once it
got mixed and master, I was like, Wow, it's crazy.

(55:14):
Go back to the love of hip Hope. How did
you ever amend your wife and your baby mother together
where they have a good speaking relationship and things are good.
How did you get to that point? It's them, you know,
they had to come to that because I'm really not involved.
I don't hate nobody. I don't dislike nobody. They don't
dislike each other. I don't think you know what I'm saying.
It just took some growth. People had to grow up,

(55:36):
you know what I'm saying. People had to understand that, Okay,
this is we're too old. We've been doing this for
a long time. Like it plays out on TV, that's
the that's the main they plead out everything on TV
and see me and my wife like we we literally
and people might you know, they thought I didn't want
to talk to my mother. That's what they said, that

(55:56):
you're not speaking to your I want speaking to it,
but I just don't. I didn't want to call no
trouble for my daughter, you know what I'm saying. She's sixteen, No,
she see all that, she got to go through all that.
So I'm like, I just really not even talk to her,
you know, discuss anything, because it's nothing anyway. It's like
you don't move on with your life. I don't move
on with my life. Everybody's moved on. Like it ain't

(56:17):
even a conversation no more. It's like I'm happy. Everybody happy.
Been waiting on this forever. I'm mighty here, you know
what I'm saying. And and and also come like I said,
it always also come with me, you know what I'm saying.
Being aware of the maneuvering you gotta do. You know
what I'm saying as a man, you know, Like like
my wife told me, she was like, hey, man, just

(56:39):
keep that thing one way, bro. Like first I was like,
what the it's one way? You know what I'm saying.
It can't nobody just be one way? You know? Like
I say, you all kind of people in anybody? You know?
So I got caught hold on too, and I'm like, man, listen,

What did your uncle Charla always say about Florida? The

(59:31):
craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all
the Florida And today once again cruise all of us
who notice to be true correct see ken Yida. Gordon
was arrested and charged with strong arm robbery and use
possession with intent to use drug paraphernil. Yeah, I personally
don't think anyone who gets arrested on an intent to

(59:51):
use charge should be sent to jail. They should be
sent to a rehab facility. But that's just my opinion
and has nothing to do with this story. Really, But
what did can ye to do to get arrested for
strong arm robbery? Well, according to police, she robbed a bank. Look, man,
times is hard and the slums we're from, I tell
y'all all the time, people are starving. Folks don't have time.
Your stomach don't stop growling because the check is on

(01:00:12):
the way. Your stomach stops growling when you get that check,
cash it, and now you got some bread to buy,
some brand to feed yourself. Okay, not making excuses for
this woman at all, because we all make choices in
life and have to be held accountable for the consequences
of our actions. And when you rob a bank, nine
times out of ten, you're going to jail. I'm just
simply trying to get you all in the mindset of

(01:00:33):
this woman. Okay. Now, whenever I think about bank robberies,
first thing I think about is how much did they
get right? Second thing I think about is how did
they get away? What was the getaway vehicle? There's literally
nothing you can't find online because I google Top ten
getaway cars for robbing banks. Let's run them down real quick.
Number ten is the nineteen thirty two Ford V eight.
That's the old black cars you see in all the

(01:00:54):
old black and white movies. Number nine is the Toyota Corolla.
Number eight it's an ambulance. See it's all about something
that as fast as something that blends in. Nothing blends
in like an ambulance. Number seven is a Cadillac CTSV Wagon.
Number six is a taxi. Yet again, another vehicle blends
right in. Number five is the General Lee. You know,
the bright orange Dodge charge you the duke boards. You're

(01:01:14):
driving dukes hazard, you know that one. Number four is
the Alpine armored Cadillac Escalade. Don't know where you just
find one of those. Number three is the Porsche Cayenne
Turbo s. Number two is the Dodge Charger SRT three
ninety two. That's for speed. And the number one getaway
car for bank robberies is the incas Huring APC. That's
the big armor truck that the swat team drifts. No

(01:01:37):
regular civilian is gonna have that, So I don't even
know why that's on there. But the point of all
these vehicles is either for speed or to blend in well,
can Yida must have been going for the blend in
part because she damn show wasn't going for the speed.
Would you like to know what her getaway vehicle A
choice was? What you what is it? Let's go to
wj A X CBS forty seven for the report place.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is releasing the identity of a

(01:02:00):
woman accused of robbing a bank from her wheelchair. This
is a new mug shot of Kennyetta Gordon. Actually News
Jack's brooke the news yesterday when police say that a
woman became angry while discussing her account at the Region's
Bank in downtown Jacksonville. She's accused of telling a worker
that she was going to kill everyone inside and that
this was a robbery. She left, they say, in a

(01:02:20):
motorized wheelchair after getting the cash. She was arrested just
a few blocks away. Stop. I don't like when you
go rogue drop all right, Jesus, what the Florida is
going on here, all right, There's only three people who
could have truly gotten away with this crime. One, we're
rolling ray okay. Two Snoop Dogg's character in training Day

(01:02:44):
three Professor Child Xavier. Those are the only three individuals
who who could have gotten away with robbing a bank
in a wheelchair. Now, let me tell you something. This
is why Florida is full of brilliant idiots, because robbing
a bank in a wheelchair truly is the best way
to blend in, even if you don't really need a
wheel chair. If you roll in the bank, rob the bank,
then roll out, okay, all the block of two, all right,

(01:03:07):
once you get up and walk, ditch the wheelchair. Now
you don't even fit the description of what the bank
teller saw. It's genius, yes, all right. The sad part
is this woman didn't have a plan. I'm not encouraging
people to rob banks. No, I'm just saying, can you
the picture a plan before you picture yourself rolling into
a bank asking for a big bank roll and listen,

(01:03:29):
just because I have understanding of this woman's situation, meaning
I understand why she would be in the mind frame
the robber bank simply because I understand the current economic
condition a lot of people are facing. It's easy to say,
can ye To should have just rolled with the punch's
life was throwing at her? But no, folks is broke
and you can't tell people to just roll with it. Okay.

(01:03:49):
In life, we all have a role to play. But
sometimes what you're casted ass is out of your control.
Remember when Kodak Black said he can't even roll in peace?
Remember that neither ken ken Yeida, because she's starving waiting
on this damn government to roll out these damn stimulus checks.
By the way, she's only thirty nine, only thirty nine.

(01:04:12):
I'm inspired by people who keep rolling no matter their age.
But she's just thirty nine, and she's got the point where,
even though she's disabled in a wheel chess, she has
to rob a bank at thirty nine. Think about that, Canda.
I feel your painting. But even though I feel your pain,
I still have to give this story the credit it
deserves for being stupid. But Kenida, I'm praying for you.

(01:04:32):
I want you to get the help you need for
your drug problem because they found a crack pipe on you. Yes,
she was riding dirty for real. But I'm telling you, Kenyida,
I want you to get clean, put the bs behind you,
and one day, I promise you, the good times will roll.
Please give Kenyida Gordon to sweet Sounds of the Hamletones. Oh,
now you are the doge, the oh gee, oh, the day.

(01:05:05):
Ye oh. We're not gonna play a game. Don't want
to play a game. We're not gonna do that. We're
not gonna play a game. I don't want to play. Well,
I have no problem rolling out a game of guess
what race it? Alright, alright, here are the context clothes.
All right. I don't even know if he's a contact clues.

(01:05:26):
I don't even know if I use that correctly. But
can you to Gordon? Okay, Jacksonville, Florida, robbed the bank
in a motorized wheelchair. Oh you want a description. I
need to give a description. Description. I don't need to
give a description. You want a little quick descriptions. Let
me get the description that the police were using. Hold okay,
this is the description. Hold on, you see if I
can find it. Hold on, officers are looking for an

(01:05:47):
adult blank female thirty nine years of age with short
blonde hair. Oh, I got you now you thought it
was easy. I thought it was easy. You thought it
was short blonde hair? Can ya? I say, can you do?
Can you do? You know that's how you pronounced can
you eat a garden? Ramirez? All right? Who said Ramirez?
I'm down for the profile and but go okay, Porto Angelie.

(01:06:14):
Are you sure you don't want to play? I think
it is a white man, white man man, okay, okay,
all right, all right, I see where we're taking it. Uh,
And I ain't telling y'a whether y'all right or wrong.
We're just gonna leave this black Why didn't you ask
me to sing your name? You only ask um emmy? Well,

(01:06:34):
I asked him to say my name. I thought you
want to end to sing it? He said, say it
you want to say? I can say his name? Ahead,
go ahead, quail P. I'm not telling y'a's black hair. Three.
I'm not telling yall alright, what can you eat? Go?
Thank you for that interpretation. Okay, McKay, y'all guess figure

(01:06:56):
it out on your own. Go do your own research.
I'm not telling y'all white man. I agree with you.
That's what I saw, all right. That's the description that
I think okay, all right, keep it lock. We have
more coming up next. It's the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast
Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy.

(01:07:20):
We all the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest
joining us this morning. That's right, doctor jess that's Jessica Clemens.
Good morning, if morning. Thank y'all so much for having me.
I really appreciate y'all. I want to ask you a
question I ask everybody, and I really want to honest answer,
how are you in this moment? I'm pretty good because
I'm here with y'all, but I think, like everybody else,

(01:07:42):
I'm really getting sick and tired of all these zoom meetings,
and I'm getting tired of not being able to touch
and whole folks. So I'm doing good in this moment,
but overall a lot of anxiety, a lot of like
sadness around not really being able to do the things
that we were doing before the pandemic. How's the baby?
How's the baby? Brilliant all, he's doing so well. He's great.

(01:08:02):
He's thirteen months, so he's just so active and cruising
and he's getting to live his best life. Because he's
with us every moment, every single day. So it's still
been it's still been great. Have you been out at all?
Have you took him out at all? Or No, we did.
We actually went to the beach recently, and so that
was nice. It was a nice little moment for him
to get to try something new. But generally, no, we're

(01:08:25):
still pretty safe around keeping him safe, especially you know,
children can't get vaccinated, and so we just want to
think about his safety first and foremost. For sure. Have
you thought about how psychologically it might impact a little
brilliant being a baby that was born during COVID and
in the house for thirteen months damning. I think about

(01:08:47):
all the children, you know, I think about this is
a tough time for kids to grow up in this way.
I know my baby's gonna be good, so I'm not,
you know, as worried about him, but I think there
are definitely families out there who may not have the
same resources or have the same support. You know, my
husband law is incredible, and so together we're able to
really provide him with a lot of support. We have

(01:09:08):
family who see them. So I think a lot about
the psychological impact that other children may may especially have
if they don't have good support system. They apparents who
are stressed out and maybe not able to tolerate you know,
the normal stuff that happens when kids are growing, so
they might be lashing out, and then also not having
access to like family and really being able to provide

(01:09:29):
them that nurturing space. I definitely think about the kids
for sure. You know, we just had to ask you
this morning and I was saying that and there were
some issues that their baby was also like about a
year old, and the couple wasn't getting along at all, right,
And I was thinking about postpartum depression and how sometimes
that can play a role and people don't know about that.
Did you have any issues that you had to overcome

(01:09:51):
after having a baby, And for couples out there and
women out there who might be suffering from that, what
are the signs? Absolutely? I mean me personally, I I
think I didn't experience those symptoms. You know, I had
a home birth. I had like an incredible team. I had,
you know, people who are checking in on me and
again like a very supportive husband. But you know, I
think for a lot of people, they don't have access

(01:10:12):
to that they may have had a very difficult birth,
so they're coping with you know, c section and trying
to like adjust to all that. So postpartum depression really
looks like more than just like the normal blues that
most women get after they give birth, Like eighty percent
of women have like that blue, sad feeling that gets
better with breath. But postpartum depression is persistently low depressed mood.

(01:10:34):
You're having trouble functioning, you're not connecting as well with
your baby. Your baby really needs to see that expression.
They need to see mom's smile in response to, you know,
something cute that the kid is doing. And so when
people moms are depressed experiencing postpartum depression, their facial expressions
aren't really as engaging, and so the child is not
getting that human kind of interaction that they need to

(01:10:55):
also develop. It also can look like having some really
dark thoughts, you know, suicidal thoughts can occur, but it's
treatable and to your point, angel it, I think it's
something that's very common. But also a lot of pediatricians
are checking in our moms when they're bringing their kid
in for visits. Your O G y N should be
asking about that, and again it's treatable, usually with an antidepressant,

(01:11:16):
and people go sort of right back to where they
were before. You know, you know, doctor Jess, it is
mental Health Awareness Month. We did something I think earlier
this week for MTV, and now I was just wondering,
is there actually any benefit for these awareness months? I
think so absolutely right, we're talking about it. We're getting
people who maybe don't really engage with this type of

(01:11:37):
conversation to be engaging. Right to your point, Chargerman, I've
been doing so many talks this month. I have another
one today. Actually, I've been doing so many talks with organizations.
So what that's telling me is that people are trying
to raise the awareness. But then one of the things
I did talk about during our panel together was that
it's also time to talk about resources, where to get help,

(01:11:58):
how to get help. It's time for therapists also to
do a better job at working with underrepresented groups. I
know I always talk about this when I'm here with Doll,
that we've got to get white therapists to do a
better job at taking care of black and brown patients,
like they don't need to be in the in the
rooms with their therapists feeling like they got to justify
everything that they've experienced. So I think it does help.
I think we're talking about it. But I think we

(01:12:19):
have to keep moving the needle forward to maybe make
Mental Health Awareness Month about like a day of action
or a month of action. People showing selfies going into
their therapist office, or people taking selfies of themselves taking
their psychiatric medication. I think we have to really normalize
it too, and so next next year, let's maybe make
that a part of Mental Health Awareness Month. For sure,

(01:12:39):
all we got more with doctor Jess. When we come back,
don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody
is dj Envy Angela Yee Schlomne, the guy we are
to Breakfast Club was still kicking with doctor Jess. Have
two questions. The first question is a kind of a
light question. Do you respect doctor Leonard McKelvey as a doctor? No,

(01:13:00):
and she does. She shouldn't ask you had we had
her and I had this conversation. By the way, doctor
Jess is a real doctor. She actually put in the work.
J I'm just an honorary doctor. I don't even know
of what doctor. How do you feel about doctor lepect
I hate him. I love it, you know, I respect

(01:13:22):
I respect charl Vne's work and really contributing to like
breaking the stigma. I think that was one of the
first things we talked about when we were, you know,
teaming up to do the first live televised therapy session.
Like you said to me, like, let's eradicate the stigma,
and so I respect that. I think that. I appreciate
also that you do recognize that takes so much work
to get this and a lot of money. I'm like, ooh,

(01:13:42):
it's like a lot of money to you know, get
all these letters. But I think it's important and I
do respect you for that absolutely. I was just joking.
My real question is social media. Do you think we
should just throw social media away? I think social media
does so much damage to ade kids, teenagers. I think
it's part of the reason why people go I don't

(01:14:04):
want to say the word crazy, but they go crazy.
I think it's why a lot of people, even like
even some of the mass shootings are due to the
social media and bullying. So do you think we should
just eradicate social media? As far as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook,
and all lot of other stuff. I mean, I think
I think that would be really interesting if we did. Like,
I agree with you, there's so many issues with social media.
You know, I'm thinking about young black boys. Their suicibrates

(01:14:26):
are increasing. Even though we say boys in general the
rate is LORI, but it is not within our black boys.
So you know, I think that social media causes a
lot of issues. Right, there's data that supports it causes
increased depression, suicidal thinking, and young girls. So you know,
if it happens, I definitely would support it. I mean,
but that also would mean people may not have access

(01:14:47):
to resources and community. But we've got to do something.
I think we should kill the algorithm. That's what I
think we really should get rid of. I don't think
that it should be determining what we're engaging with. You know,
if you if you spend a few moments on let's
say some celebrities Instagram account and you're kind of liking
certain videos, anallymus that in all of your feed is
going to feed you more of that. So I think

(01:15:07):
this algorithm really is the bigger issue. If we could
have timelines that are curated specifically on based on like
what we want or how we're feeling, I don't want
to give you know, these social media platforms ideas, but
if they could maybe focus on how you're feeling that
day and target material that helps you or targets material
that keeps you in that mood state, I think that

(01:15:28):
would be so much better. But there are so many issues. Parents.
You got to monitor your children. Do not let them
just be on social media all day because it is
causing comments. The cafeteria is going from like the little
space that we knew to everywhere all the time. Like
I dreaded walking into the cafeteria some days because I knew, like, oh,
this is where things get weld. But imagine having your
phone as the cafeteria day and night. Like it's about

(01:15:53):
just kill the comments, Like just kill the comments. I mean,
you know, they're obviously positive and negative, and you know,
you just you know, it's because I think a lot
of people are you know a lot of people are
hurt from the comments. Absolutely, I mean, you know, Hailey
Bieber actually shared that she she's cut down the comments.
We I interviewed her for YouTube channel, and one of
the things that she said was that she specifically only

(01:16:16):
lets people that she follows or you know that she
chooses to engage with her in the comments, and I
think that's you've got to curate your world. You got
to treat social media as an extension of like your
immediate world. You got to think about it as curating
exactly what you want kill the comments. Certainly, anybody can
do that. Absolutely. I saw you say that people have

(01:16:37):
to be very intentional about their use of social media.
So talk about, like, I guess more, the positive effects
of social media, especially in the mental health man. Absolutely,
I mean there's so many accounts, you know, I feel
like back in twenty eighteen when I was going hard
in social media to talk about mental health, since then,
so many accounts are are doing the same. I mean,
they've got they've got words to kind of educate you

(01:16:59):
about this signs of illness. They've got resources they can
tell you where to find help. Like, there's a lot
of accounts that actually have directories that you can, you know,
find the right therapist for you based on your specific
interests and needs. You know, you can also find people
that are like minded so that you can you know,
have in real life connections, especially as things have begun
to open up across the country. So I think there

(01:17:21):
are a lot of opportunities if you go into it
focusing on what it is that you're looking for. Like
for me, I don't follow a lot of celebrity accounts.
I don't follow a lot of the like accounts that
you're kind of talking junk about people because I find
that that's just going to feed an algorithm that I'm
not interested in. It's clean, I'll check them out here
and there. So just think about that. Be cognizant and
be accounts following. Pay attention to how you feel. Like

(01:17:44):
if you're on it and you feel drained after, you know,
take a moment off of it, maybe take a break.
Delete the app. It'll be there when you get back.
You know, don't delete your account and you don't want
somebody to take your special name, but you know, delete
the app, come back to it when you're feeling better.
Give yourself only a period of time that you're using it.
Don't start your mourning off looking at social media. Starts
your mourning off with some mindfulness, meditation, reflects on your day,

(01:18:08):
think about all the goals that you want to achieve.
But you know, again, don't go straight for the phone
and open the app because it's designed to keep you
in it, and it's going to do whatever it can
to keep you in it, to get those ads, to
make sure that you're spending valors. I mean, it's really
all about the companies using these platforms in a way
to kind of again generate money. So these are just
a few things to think about if you feel bad

(01:18:29):
when you're on social media, just take a break from it.
You think about Brilliant and what you're going to do
with him when he's of age to be on social media.
I see there to understand, like an Instagram for younger kids. Absolutely,
you know, Instagram recently reach out to me to be
a part of learning about some of the works that
they're doing to try to, you know, kind of work

(01:18:50):
around the issues that are coming up with mental health.
And that is one of the things that you know,
I mentioned to someone as you were starting starting to
kind of this conversation that you know, I don't think
it's a good idea. I think that children should really
just get to be kids. They don't need to be
already groomed to like be on social media. They have
plenty of time for that, you know. And actually another
thing to Angela that came up is. You know, I

(01:19:10):
think about parents that are like posting their kids all
the time on social media, Like I definitely don't do
it often, and I always feel like really anxious when
I do it not so much, and I'm worried about
like what people think about how he looks or what,
you know, what I have him dressed in. But more
so that you know, there's definitely going to be opportunities
for people to do identity theft. I actually read about

(01:19:31):
you know that perhaps in like twenty thirty years, this
social media and what parents are posting is going to
provide the most data for people to steal their kids identity.
So there's just so much to think about. You know,
it's fun and it's cute to be on social media,
but it's it's collecting our data. It's also not giving
kids a chance to consent and to teach them about
what it means to decide what you want to put

(01:19:53):
on social media. So I think about it. I don't
think my child will be able to, at least in
my awareness, have access to it. But you know, kids
do what they do, all right. We got more with
doctor Jess when we come back. Don't move. It's the
Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is
DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are to
Breakfast Club. We're still kicking with doctor Jess. Now, how

(01:20:15):
do you tell somebody to heal? How do you helpe
somebody to heal when they lost somebody close to them.
My wife recently lost her mother, and you know, I
don't know what to say, you know, I mean, like
what like there is nothing that you can say. Of
course I'm heard as well because she was a mom
to me as well. So how do you help people heal?
How does that healing process work? I think it's also important,

(01:20:37):
especially with loss, to understand that grief is going to
be like there's no way around it, you know, grief
is it's it's something that catches people completely off guard.
They're going to be dealing with big emotions sadness, denial, anger,
and the emotions that they'll feel will come up in waves.
So I think one of the things to tell people

(01:20:59):
is really that you understand what they're going through. Speak
from the heart, you know. I think it's important to
share what you are feeling as well, you know, to
invite them to also share how they're feeling, what they're
going through, you know, share also in the memory of people.
I think sometimes when we lose folks, we put them
on a T shirt and that's it. We don't really
create an honor memories around this person. Because when people

(01:21:21):
pass away, the relationship just changes. You know, we're still
thinking about them, We still you know, may have memories
that come up. So try to be intentional when it
feels right. It may not be you know, right away,
but in time develop traditions. Maybe it's you know, around
the holiday season, putting up something on the tree if
you celebrate Christmas to remember them. Maybe it's making sure

(01:21:42):
they have a photo up on your wall if you have,
you know, photos of it's just thinking about adjusting that
relationship to think about them even without their physical presence,
and then giving people time to grieve us. It's a
it's a long process for some people. You know, again,
it's going to come and way. Sometimes they may be
pren't sometimes they may be sort of checked out or crying,

(01:22:02):
and you just want to be reflective and think about
that as they go through it. Because you know, losing
a parent, losing a mother, it's something I don't think
anyone really ever gets over. But I also think that
when you have the right people around you, you have
people who are holding space for you to naturally heal,
in time, you will develop some peace around that lot.
How do you think the mental health community has grown

(01:22:24):
since the beginning of the pandemic, Doctor Justice, Oh, I mean,
I think it's grown because look, I am book and
really really busy with busits that I have. Virtually, I
think so many people are going into see therapists primarily
because this is a really hard time. People are stressed out,
people have lost jobs, people have lost the ability to

(01:22:44):
connect in real life. So I think the community itself
has grown in terms of people coming in for help.
I know we still need therapists. We still need black therapists,
we still need brown therapists. We need people to be
able to connect with communities against to help with that
barrier that comes up when people are seeing folks who
don't look like them and they feel stressed. But the

(01:23:05):
community I think is has grown. People are using telepsychiatry
or telemedicine telehealth to engage will probably keep seeing that.
I plan to continue doing that even when the pandemic,
you know, comes to an end, I plan to continue
to still offer virtual visits because people can, you know,
show up exactly where they are, people who show up,
you know, in all sorts of places, and it feels

(01:23:27):
good for them to be able to do that, And
I think it's something that I hope other people will
continue to offer to in the future. Is it okay
for people who started therapy during the pandemic to stop
going just because the world is opening back up, outside
is opening back up, you know. I think if you're
if you're particularly going into therapy because you've been feeling

(01:23:48):
overwhelmed and stressed and isolated by the pandemic, and you
start to feel much better now that you have access
to your friends and you can go to branch and
all that good stuff. Sure you can stop it, but
I think some people might find that they're really starting
to do that deep inner work. They're learning how to
kill from past traumas, and so sometimes staying in even
when things feel like they're better, can really be helpful.

(01:24:10):
So I think it's important to talk to your therapists
if you're in a place like you think you want
to stop, because you might learn that it might make
sense to say, but certainly there're going to be people
who will take a break and that's okay. Can you
break down some ways people can support the mental health
of the loved ones of people who are dealing with

(01:24:31):
mental health issues, because that's been a conversation that I've
been having with a lot of people. A lot of
people I know have family members who are dealing with schizophrenia,
bipolar and that's taking a toll on them. So how
do we support the loved ones of people dealing with
mental health issues? Yeah, I think it's important to also
just think about these people when you are engaging with them.

(01:24:53):
Check on them. How are they feeling, how are they doing,
do they need help with anything, do they need their
health clean? Do they need a male cook? You really
want to think about them as being caregivers, Especially for
severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, these can really
be taxing on people who are supporting them, So really
checking on them also, you know, take some time to

(01:25:14):
think about what is it that they might need. Do
they need to have a support group. I would encourage
people to really engage in those you know, I think
people go to support groups for being caregivers or people
who have like cancer or other severe physical illnesses. But
people who are also caregivers for people with severe mental
illness should also engage in support groups. So you know,
look up lists. Noni dot org does a great resource

(01:25:36):
to find about groups, look up lists in your community
and maybe offer that. But again checking on them, try
to stand in the gap, give them support if they have,
you know, needs that could be met, help them take
a break, Offer to drive you know, their their loved
one to an appointment if you're able to do that.
But I think just keeping them in your mind and
checking in regularly is going to be a really great

(01:25:58):
a great start for people now, for people who are
you that are new to this and just hearing it
now and say, hey, I want this is something I
want to try, and let me try a therapist. Is
there something online? What advice would you give them? And
do you have any information for those people? Where do
you get started? Yes? Oh yeah, so I think the
great The great thing right now is that there's so
many resources out there. There's so many directories. So I

(01:26:19):
tell people start with looking at psychology today. It's a
little bit of an older directory, but there are definitely
most therapists do you put their information up on there.
You can search if you want, like a male therapist,
a woman, a black doctor. Whatever it is that you're
looking for, you can find it there. Also they're really
cool directories like therapy for Black Girl, Therapy for Black Men.

(01:26:39):
There's also something called Inclusive Therapists, which gives people access
again to different types of resources. And then you can
also you know, get really you know created, if you
want to do like a Google search specifically in your area,
you'll find that a lot of therapists have started to
create websites and you'll get a match and you might
find someone in your area that has the exact niche

(01:27:00):
that you want. UM. And then I think think if
thinking about some of these talk space apps. You know,
the only challenge I have with some of those apps
is sometimes you're texting and that is not really a
form of therapy. So you just want to think about that. UM,
if you are choosing to use that, you really want
to at least have a video where you're seeing a person,
or obviously in person is even better. UM. So just

(01:27:20):
be cognizant where you're choosing some of these newer platforms,
because also your information isn't always protected. Um, and so
that's something to know too. Thank you Dad to dad.
Can I want to ask one more question for you?
Go do oh you gotta go. I'm sorry, you gotta go.
I have one thing too I want to share. Go ahead.
