But now you're saying you're 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.280 not to get that mad, and that I'm saying, I'm 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.640 trying to understand. So people just say what are you? Yeah, 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.880 they ask you what my nationality is? I'm like, I 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:37.280 told him to guess, and they usually go a Spanish 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.319 I wish envy would I wish Envy would human me 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.880 one day and say guess what I am.

But 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:21.919 what are you showing me? Black? One percent? Pure God? Okay, 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.040 you don't look black to me? Hello?

Everybody stupid or a social media man 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.720 and needs to all get off of it. Social media 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:44.840 is just an ever last thing shape of fool of 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.280 a fool bo people we don't care about That's right. 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.560 How did you know everybody was going crazy over it? 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:56.800 Where'd you see that anything about? Yeah? It was news 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.280 like it was on CNN, MSNBC. I'm like, oh, case, 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.959 so you don't use social media? No, I'm only that 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.720 because you know what I'm saying, you start preparing yourself 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:10.720 for people who do put up the highlight charm. I literally, 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.000 I said, I told Duval this is about a week ago. 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.760 I was like, your winded. Social media become like a 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.760 university of higher learning, like I remember ten years ago, 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.880 and it was literally just the playground. It was literally 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.840 just a place we went to have fun. We unplugged. 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.799 People don't unplugged no more. Nope, Hello, who's this? You 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:32.079 know what's up? Broke it off your chest. I want 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.960 to send a shout out to this miserable person I 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.240 met this week and who worked at the Barclay Center. 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.640 If you are a miserable person, do not pass it 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.160 on the other people. What happened? All right? So I 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.680 was working a j Cole concert. First of all, he's 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.080 my favorite artist. I was praying to work this concert. 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.600 I worked the concert. Um, I'm also an artist, So 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.680 I'm like, man, I hope I could get a chance 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.480 to shoot my shot tonight. I'm standing on the side 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:02.360 of the stage right and Jay Cole stuck in leg 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.640 up on the speaker and it ended up falling off 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.800 the stage. I caught the speaker. We put the speaker 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.160 back on Now if you have seen it, you would 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.200 have known that whole chain of speakers would have fell up. 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.279 So okay, I just saved that from happening. Some woman 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.839 sees me, Yeah, she goes, uh, yeah, you don't belong 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.200 over here. You gotta you gotta go. I'm like, okay, 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.800 now I go to where I'm supposed to be. But 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:29.600 you know, and you guys have been to the Bark 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.000 Clay Center, you know where where the cars come into 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:37.880 where downstairs, And I just waited over there respectfully. You know, 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:39.920 I could have pretended I was a part of the entourage, 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.680 snuck back there. I didn't do anything like that. I 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.720 just waited quietly, um while, you know, while going back 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.560 and forth and working, and the same miserable worker came over, 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.240 where do you belong? Oh you don't belong here now 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.760 reporting me and a whole bunch of nonsense. But you 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.279 could just tell man just a minimble person. And she 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.680 wanted to pass that on to whoever else. You know. 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:06.560 Now you're leaving out the part where you was trying 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.520 to slip J Cole your mixtape, and you're telling J 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.560 Cole you rap on. I just said that he said 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.920 that wasn't a mixtape. And and I don't get that. 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:15.919 You just said shoot your shot. I didn't want to. 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:17.640 I didn't want it. That could go any that could 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.160 mean anything. You said, shoot you she's a manager. But 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.839 was she a manager? No, she wasn't a manager because 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.479 because she could have got in trouble, maybe Jay Cole's 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:28.040 people would have called to respect that. It was just 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.520 the way she went about it. The way she went 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.520 about it was just nasty and Charlo Man, come on, 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.280 I'm about to shoot my shot. What you want of 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.039 these men? Man? You said shoot your shot? Didn't he 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:39.839 say that? You said you wanted to shot my artists 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.640 before I said that you shot. I'm worried about. I 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.279 don't know what kind of picture you wanted to paint. 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.000 But I was but where Okay, I got a question? 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.280 Where are you? Where are you not where you were 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.320 supposed to be? Though? He wasn't you know, he was 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.159 somewhere else? No, No No, I wasn't. I wasn't where I 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.520 was supposed to be. I mean, like, it's not like 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.080 I was making a disruption or or like I went 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.840 about it like you know, I work in production, so 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.479 I'm trying not to invade people's face, I get it. Yeah, 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:09.359 but she was she was she was security. But I 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.919 will say, out of every venue that I've ever been to, 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.640 any any concert hall or any arena, the ball Layers 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.080 usually the nicest people I've ever been to. A lot 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.760 of people work at the Black Lads. This is the 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.159 nicest place. I was surprised because at the at the 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.880 Garden that like that. Yeah, I would say, you know, 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:29.920 I love the I would say the ball Lace is 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.440 better than the Garden to me and embody on all 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.080 these arenas, but I did love it the Garden to 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.240 We gotta do your job, bro, that's it. Good job, 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:40.039 all right, Joel Man, He's like man five eight five 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.360 one oh five one that we got rooms all the way. Well, 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.760 this sounds like true love. Imagine you have to right 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:57.200 the Breakfast Club I'm I'm doing. This is your time 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.560 to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.080 black eight one, we want to hear from you on 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:07.880 the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey? What's going on? 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.400 My name is James? James? What I'm getting off your chest? 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.360 Just found out my daughter is in mind biologically and 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.320 I'm going through a lot of emotions right now. Damn 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.320 how old she had a homeboy that happened to back 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.920 in the day, man, how old is she? Yeah, she'll 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.720 be ten in a couple of weeks. Well, I'm gonna 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.600 tell you something. There's no getting out of her life. Now. 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.840 I know that sounds crazy, but it's true. Like I 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.040 had a homeboy that happened too. But once you have 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.480 that emotional spiritual connection with a child, like you know, 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.600 you're not you're not you can't turn that off. Yeah, 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.960 most definitely not. That's always my baby girl. What made 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.280 what made you get tested? Well? I didn't have the 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:48.600 resources before because I was on child support going back 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.600 and forth with my daughter's mom. But I got a 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.360 new job so I was able to scrap up the 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.680 money and actually do the task. Well, I'm sending you 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.400 healing energy. Can't you just remember that's not that child? Man? 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:01.880 And you know you gotta look at it from on 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.800 a different angle. You know, you're the person that God 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.640 put in her life to raise them and be her 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.800 father figure, you know what I mean. I didn't even 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:10.720 think about it like that. But you don't gotta pay 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:12.440 child support no more. You can just raise and pay 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.640 what you want to pay. Correct. I don't know. Nah, 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:18.400 I think according to New York State, I got to them. Yeah, 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.320 I think you still have to pay. Yeah, but I 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.280 think honestly, man ten years old, you've been with that 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.520 young lady ten years, you probably want to you know, 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.000 you might not want to pay the mother though, you 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.440 might just want to take care of his daughter exactly. 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.080 It's a weird law though, that even though you find 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.200 out a child's not yours, you've been raising her as 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:35.960 if she is yours, and then you still have to 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:40.600 continue to pay child support. Yeah, what's her biological father? King, 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.839 No clue. See, that's that's my point. That's why I say. 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.000 You know, God put you in that young lady's life 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.720 for a reason, man, so should hold that position down. 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.400 He shouldn't have to pay child support though. Yeah, I shouldn't. No, 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:56.800 not at all. I'm looking into lawyers now so I 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.440 can try and take care of this situation. I'll always 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.040 be there for her, but I don't want to support 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.640 her mother. Absolutely agree with you too, brother, I get 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.240 it all right, man, have a good one. Man, God 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:10.160 bless you. Brother. All right, Hello, who's this hello? I 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.680 just want to say you blood to the morning everybody. 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:17.200 Stone was having brother. What's up?

Right, 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.200 So he gave me the head nod and starts, don't 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:03.640 have me crazy? Let's rum with that.

So I said, hey, 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.960 why are you following me? Man? So you was like no, 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.840 and then ran back up seeing them home on the train. Crazy. 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.960 I mean, you shouldn't be winking that brothers on the 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.439 train for the platform, right, I didn't wink.

It ain't was cute, all right, get 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.960 into a few chests eight hundred five eight five one 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:49.760 on five one if you need to venteit this up now. 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:55.840 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Everybody 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.560 is tj Envy Angela Ye, Charlemagne the guy. We are 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.760 the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:06.400 Wayne Brady. Yes, it is a pleasure in person. I 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.960 get to see y'all face to face. Yeah. We spoke 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.040 to him during the pandemic zoom. Yeah, how was your pandemic? 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.440 We I mean we've seen some of it on social 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.320 media of how you live for people that don't know, 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.520 how did you spend your pandemic time? I spend my 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:23.800 pandemic healing. I didn't realize that that I missed my 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.800 family as much as I did. I'm basically at the 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.400 heart of my homebody. I live for my family. I 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:33.640 love my daughter. She is my universe. My ex wife 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.720 is my best friend, and her boyfriend is one of 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.360 my best friends. And I'd been on the road so 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.040 much in filming and working, which is the blessing. But 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.280 I got to spend this uninterrupted time with my daughter 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.440 and connect with her as a young lady because during 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.080 the pandemic, she was like from sixteen and a half 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.360 to just turning eighteen, so that was a really formative 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.600 year and a half of I could be with her, 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:01.560 talk to her. She got her first boyfriend right as 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.920 the pandemic begun, so all these issues that happened, thank 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.800 god I was present. Yeah, people found it so unusual 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.319 that you could be best friends with your ex wife 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.720 and co parent the way that you are. I see, 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.720 they adopted a child and you're also going to be 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:18.000 co parenting with that baby as well. But how do 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:19.520 you get to that space? I know I wasn't an 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:23.199 easy road. That's the sitcom that I really want to 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.320 make because that's the real is you look at it 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.040 on TikTok and I talk about Mandy. You know, shout 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.640 out to Mandy. My ex wife is my best friend. No, 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.560 she actually gets mad when I say, man name my 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.240 ex wife because folks just distiller down to that. She 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.160 is an amazing creative in her own right. And I 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.920 give her so much credit for my early success because 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.680 she put up with all my early ideas and told 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.559 me to go for it. She's brilliant and she runs 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:51.320 my company. When we got divorced, we loved each other. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.720 But then we have this kid and I'm running nuts. 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.440 It was my first time being single, so I'm being 0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:00.400 an idiot and we couldn't agree on co parenting. We're 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.480 constantly fighting and I'm just being an asshole. And and 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.800 there's a moment when you're like, I just want some peace, 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.440 and you learned that in order to get peace, we 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.520 need to be on the same page. So I need 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.800 to be respectful as the father of this beautiful daughter. 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.720 I need to give her mother all respect and praise 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.520 and do so. I need to pull back on my 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.000 nonsense and actually listen to her, which was part part 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.160 of the problem. Didn't know what this nonsense is because 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:27.960 when you said you were being an ass like to 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.280 find that Oh, I just think in the sense of 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.960 it had to be my way or the highway. And 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.280 at the time she was dating one of my dancers, 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.840 which is Jason. So Jason was one of my dancers 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:42.240 in my Vega show. They they they got together. How 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.960 did that work out? Jason? You see every day start 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:49.680 dating your ex and how did you take that? Now 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.920 you gotta now, you gotta fight because you've been around 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.640 all this time. Now you only five minutes Jason, you 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:56.760 know what I mean. See I'm saying it like it's 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.360 a joke, but there there was a time. Thank god 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.720 that Jason is. I give Jason credit as well. Man 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.560 to man, Jason is a beautifully either Jason at that 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:12.920 time was beautifully evolved or just so whatever that my 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:17.240 rara and my agitation towards him, he really didn't let 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.880 it get to him. And now, in hindsight, at a 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.440 one point I went when they were dating. I pulled 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.640 up outside of her house like at nine or ten 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:28.560 o'clock at night. It't always happens, even like one of 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.960 those old R and B songs when you've had a 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:35.640 couple of drinks above your head. Listen, I'm just a 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.960 guy just standing outside I'm like, you know what, tonights 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:40.720 and night, I'm not gonna let him. He's not gonna 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.040 raise my daughter. I wouldn't become in that house. I 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.160 pay for this house, like I was leading a bad 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.920 Tyler Perry movie. I paid for this house. You don't 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:53.400 come outside right now? Mother? What an idiot? What did 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.560 Jason Dowdy come outside? He's like, hey, man, what's going on? 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.360 I tell you what's going on? And for years I 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.800 was on that track. Once I was able to start 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.800 going to therapy, which which I have to advocate the 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.280 best thing that I ever did for my mental health 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.080 and for my relationship with my daughter and just for 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.360 me walking around in the world going to therapy. What 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.640 got you there? And did you fire Jason when when 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.520 you find out like he's your dancer, you find out 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.480 he's dating your ex? Did like you're fired? Well, well, 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.520 just to clarify for folks listening, we were separated and 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.360 getting the divorce papers right at so many didn't do 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.240 anything wrong. Nobody was running around, which makes me which 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:33.440 is why I claim my stupidity. I claim my ignorance. 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.680 People do say that's against the bro code, though, like 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:39.120 were your friends you and Jason friends, We were friends, 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.800 but you know, the reality is he was working for me. 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.240 He wasn't like a dude that I would take a 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:48.840 bullet for no offense. Jason damage like at the time 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:53.040 he was on my payroll. I signed your chest. Now 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.520 you'll call nine one one right now, I'll call one. 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.080 Oh my god, he shot quick. Please He's got a baby. 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.400 So yeah, But but then I should not have taken 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.920 that stance. Jason didn't owe me anything, so in that instance, 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:10.240 the bro code didn't apply. And Mandy Mandy, she didn't 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.640 have to ask me. Mandy said to me, Wayne, I 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:15.880 am going to start dating. We'd already been separated for 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.480 a couple of years. When I'd like to start dating. 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:23.240 I believe that Jason and I have a connection. I 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.600 was like, oh, sure, yeah, do what you want. I'm grown, 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:31.440 I'm in Vegas. H No, I should have expressed my 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.680 true opinion. So she told you she was real. She 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:38.640 told me she I gave it a fake blessing, gave 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:42.040 it the Pope wave. What were you doing? Damn man, 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:47.920 everything everyone just you know, just being messy. How did 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:49.600 you end up in the house. How was that conversation? 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.000 So the pandemic happened, La is crazy. Everybody scared? Did 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:54.360 you make the phone call? And he'd be like, hey, 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.360 I'm home now, can I Can I come over? Like 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.280 how did that conversation happen? So we were close enough 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.760 that we said, okay, well, this pandemic is happening, we 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.920 need to circle the wagons. And I lived with them 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.959 earlier that year because my house was being renovated, so 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:12.439 I actually lived in the house with her, Jason and Miley. 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.159 So that's when we even started talking about trying to 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:18.000 write a sitcom because we just thought this is really funny. 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:22.800 We have an insular village, like we are strong, more 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.440 support more supportive, and he knows that I've got his back. 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:28.159 All right, we got more with Wayne Brady when we 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.280 come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:38.480 the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee. Charlemagne, 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.400 the guy we are to Breakfast Club was still kicking 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.600 it with Wayne Brady. Now you have a show now 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.400 where people didn't necessarily love what you were doing. Let's 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.680 make a deal. Some white people were leaving messages and 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.639 they were racist messages and all that. So what happened. 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.280 What did you do to that? We'll see you know. 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:57.920 On the flip side, I'm blakendy blakenty black now too 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.600 black for some people and not black enough for Bingo 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:04.800 was like a cbfour remember because I'm black, y'all. I'm black, y'all. 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.480 That's the funniest thing. If you go on the let's 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.320 make a deal message boards, depending on the day of 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.800 the week, I'll have some white folks. I am not 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.760 watching this one one, dude. I saved save this one 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.880 because I sent it to the vice president of the network. 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.520 I loved this show at one point, but now it's 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:30.400 like I'm watching a show on dot dot dot b et. Wow, discriminatory. 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.880 I like you first, Wayne Brady, but all you do 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:37.280 is you pick black people four messages down. You're a disgrace, 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.840 Wayne Brady. Whose ass are you kissing all these white 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.640 people that you're always making deals with? You you don't 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.680 want us to get ahead. I'm like, you all watch 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:50.359 the same damn show. They had to completely opposite react. 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:52.720 It's the same show. So at this point I'm like, look, 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:55.199 you know what it is. What it is, And the 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:58.080 thing is, I don't pick the people, so spoiler alert. 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.840 But I will say what is good and I'm not 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.560 going to apologize for this and shout out to the 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.840 production crew and fremantle of Let's make a deal. We 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:10.480 have made sure that that show is inclusive of black, 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.320 people of Latin, people of gay, people of trans, people 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:15.960 of gay couples with the folks that will play. But 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.439 because if you look at a lot of game shows, 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:20.840 there's not a lot of people of color, and when 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.439 there are people of color, they've been carefully curated to 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.840 let's just say show one particular side of us that 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:32.400 then the producers can frame some of the games like, oh, well, 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:37.960 I'm sorry Mark Quita that you couldn't answer that question. No, 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:40.000 there's none of that. So if you're gonna get mad 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:43.240 at me because we are giving everyone an equal shot, sure, 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.800 And yeah, like that dude did did a He had 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.679 his fifteen min minutes of fame leaving me that that 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:52.560 message on on the CBS Voiceline. But they just played 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.520 that one. I get those every other day. Oh yeah, 0:19:56.560 --> 0:20:00.399 oh yeah, it's the world we live in. Act Like, 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.280 isn't you know I don't see color. I don't expect 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:05.760 Come on, that's the most racist thing that you can say, 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:07.560 there's no way that you can't look at someone and 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:11.600 see color. You can see color, but respect the person. 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:15.080 And so to not see some someone's colors a blatant 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:18.560 being in the face of their culture. I want to 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:20.679 be able to look at someone and go, oh you 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:23.639 are Latin. I love the Latin culture. Oh you are Asian. 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.240
