Speaker 1: Morning Wanting Everybody's DJ Envy, Jess Larious, Charlamine the gud
Speaker 1: we are to breakfast Club. Let's get in some Front
Speaker 1: Page News.
Speaker 8: Good Morning, Tis, good Morning, dj V, Jess Hilarious, charlemagnea
Speaker 8: god s.
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's jump right into it. Let's start
Speaker 1: off with Nicki Haley.
Speaker 8: Yes, on no surprise, she has got out of the race.
Speaker 8: She suspend her campaign for president. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 9: After winning only one state on Super Tuesday, former South
Speaker 9: Carolina Governor Nikki Haley bowed out of the presidential race.
Speaker 10: I am filled with the gratitude for the outpouring of
Speaker 10: support we've received from all across our great country, but
Speaker 10: the time has now come to suspend my campaign.
Speaker 9: Hailey congratulated the now presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, but
Speaker 9: did not endorse him.
Speaker 10: I have always been a conservative Republican and always supported
Speaker 10: the Republican nominee.
Speaker 2: But on this question, as she.
Speaker 10: Did on so many others, Margaret Thatcher provided some good
Speaker 10: advice when she said, quote, never just follow the crowd
Speaker 10: always make up your own mind.
Speaker 9: Haley's announcement all but confirms a rematch between President Joe
Speaker 9: Biden and former President Trump.
Speaker 11: It's a rematch.
Speaker 8: Let's just it is what it is. This is where
Speaker 8: the table has been said. It will be Donald Trump
Speaker 8: versus Joe Biden. The question is what's going to happen
Speaker 8: with those Nicky Haley voters. Joe Biden did offer them
Speaker 8: a place. He said that Donald Trump made it clear
Speaker 8: he doesn't want Nicki Haley supporters. He said, I want
Speaker 8: to be clear, there's a place for them in my campaign.
Speaker 8: Trump did not extend an offer as of yet. He
Speaker 8: did say that Nicky Haley got trounced in the Super
Speaker 8: Tuesday election in record setting fashion. He said, despite the
Speaker 8: fact that Democrats, for reasons unknown, are allowed to vote
Speaker 8: in Vermont and various other Republican primaries. So he is
Speaker 8: not extended in the olive branch as of yet. To
Speaker 8: her supporters. But this is where we are guys versus.
Speaker 2: Well, they're both.
Speaker 5: Donald Trump is crazy for not doing that because they're
Speaker 5: gonna need those people, you know what I mean, That's
Speaker 5: what it's all.
Speaker 2: That's what it's all about.
Speaker 5: In November, energizing those people who don't feel inspired to
Speaker 5: vote for either candidate, because you know, there's not a
Speaker 5: lot of people that you know, there's a whole lot
Speaker 5: of people who are not inspired by either candidate. They're
Speaker 5: not inspired by this rematch. So it's up to Biden
Speaker 5: and Trump that energize those people who don't feel inspired,
Speaker 5: because they probably gonna make the difference in November.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Trump's style is though, you either with me or you
Speaker 11: against me, you know. Bottom line.
Speaker 8: He said Biden is a disaster to the country, and
Speaker 8: you need to come join the best movement and ever.
Speaker 11: You know, in history. So that's that's his way of
Speaker 11: a thing.
Speaker 5: He's not Donald Trump is considered a threat to democracy.
Speaker 5: I was watching, uh, I was watching the John Bolton
Speaker 5: I think he was on CNN last night. He's but
Speaker 5: he was the former former advisor of Trump for something.
Speaker 5: I forgot what it was. But he said he han't
Speaker 5: voting for either one of them. I'm not voting for
Speaker 5: Biden or Trump. So you know, I know there's a
Speaker 5: lot of people who feel like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I saw that too, and he was saying he just
Speaker 8: can't go against his conservative values to vote for Joe Biden,
Speaker 8: but he certainly can't align, you know, with Trump as well.
Speaker 11: But this is where we are. People are gonna have
Speaker 11: to make a decision.
Speaker 8: I think it's important though we also talk about local
Speaker 8: and state racist like, there's a lot of races that
Speaker 8: are still happening. So for those who are saying, well,
Speaker 8: I just can't vote for Biden and Trump, I would
Speaker 8: hope that you still think it's important for governors, congress,
Speaker 8: city council sheriffs. You know, those positions are up as well.
Speaker 8: Those are the positions you have to vote in. So
Speaker 8: it's just it's gonna be a tough role ahead. So
Speaker 8: Joe Biden will be doing the State of Reunion addressed
Speaker 8: tonight at nine pm Eastern Standard time, and they're hoping
Speaker 8: that he's making the case on why he should be
Speaker 8: a choice.
Speaker 5: And John Bolten is the former US National Security ABA.
Speaker 5: That's yeah, you're right about the state of the Union.
Speaker 5: If I was president Biden to night, I would focus
Speaker 5: on America.
Speaker 2: I would really.
Speaker 5: Adopt Trump's philosophy about America. First, how you gonna provide
Speaker 5: financial relief for the American people, How you gonna make
Speaker 5: sure we can keep affordable food on our tables and
Speaker 5: affordable roofs over our head. Geopolitical politics not gonna cut
Speaker 5: it to night. We don't want to hear about more
Speaker 5: money being sent to other countries. He needed to talk
Speaker 5: about how he's going to provide financial relief for America.
Speaker 8: Do you think he should address Trump and make make
Speaker 8: the comparison to Trump at I.
Speaker 5: Don't think it matters. I don't even I think I
Speaker 5: think Democrats are doing that. Focusing on Trump is pointless.
Speaker 5: They need to focus on those people who are not
Speaker 5: inspired to get up off the couch. In November, I
Speaker 5: told y'all millions of times, it's about Republicans who are
Speaker 5: the crooks. This year, it's about Democrats who are the
Speaker 5: couch because they don't fight enough, and it's about the couch,
Speaker 5: and that's voter apathy. They need to focus on those
Speaker 5: people on the couch because you ain't changing none of
Speaker 5: the people that support Trump's Trump's mind.
Speaker 7: Nope, that's.
Speaker 2: At all.
Speaker 5: So going after the you know, people who supported Nicki Haley,
Speaker 5: going after those independents, going after those you know, the
Speaker 5: hypothetical swing voters they always chasing.
Speaker 2: That's who they need to.
Speaker 1: Focus on, all right, A lot is front page news.
Speaker 1: What are we talking next?
Speaker 2: Our tests?
Speaker 11: We're talking so New York.
Speaker 8: Now you see M sixteen's you know on your subway
Speaker 8: with the National Guard now patrolling the NYC subway is
Speaker 8: a new crime initiative that the governor's rolled out.
Speaker 11: I want to talk about that. I think that's really interesting.
Speaker 8: Guys were going to talk about that at seven o'clock
Speaker 8: to see if they're doing too much or if it
Speaker 8: makes you feel safer.

Speaker 3: All right, So this one pissed me off because I
Speaker 3: did just tease that Tory Lanes has to you know,
Speaker 3: he about to sit down for his first interview from prison.
Speaker 3: But it's so simple. I didn't listen to the audio before.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have reported it. But this is very simple.

Speaker 2: Number five, Oh.

Speaker 3: Just like my dumb as I'm abnn to report it.
Speaker 3: I was happy as hell. It's called promotion, I know, right,
Speaker 3: crazy all right? Ryan Garcia shares another update. Yesterday, we
Speaker 3: reported on Ryan Garcia's recent activity on social media hack messages.
Speaker 3: He claims everything was happening to him from kidnap, you know, kidnapping,
Speaker 3: and he lost access to his money, et cetera, all
Speaker 3: of that stuff. Since then, TMZ released another video of

Speaker 3: few social media posts and says how things will go moving.
Speaker 7: Forward here to announcement.
Speaker 2: Returned back to Instagram.
Speaker 17: Over these past couple of days, you guys have seen
Speaker 17: some pretty intense things.
Speaker 2: I understand what they are and the understand what they
Speaker 2: look like.
Speaker 17: But are coming back to announce I'm not gonna speak
Speaker 17: on any other topic of it than boxing sports in
Speaker 17: my fight.
Speaker 2: That's the only thing.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna be talking about. I'm training for this fight
Speaker 7: on everybody know this fight is.
Speaker 17: Still on four to twenty five weeks of super focus.
Speaker 17: I have PbD helping me in this camp and many
Speaker 17: other warriors. So I thank you guys for the support
Speaker 17: and I'll see you guys on four twenty.
Speaker 5: You know the problem with all these situations the backdrop
Speaker 5: of the fight, So being that we know there's a
Speaker 5: fight on for twenty we just can't determine what's real
Speaker 5: and what's not real. Like how we just talked about
Speaker 5: Tory Lane, because we know that was promotion. How do
Speaker 5: we know that all of this stuff just isn't promo?
Speaker 2: How do we know it's it is? How do we know?
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't.
Speaker 3: I just I really feel like it has nothing to do.
Speaker 3: All we can do is just give opinions on what
Speaker 3: we think.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't feel like any of that stuff yesterday, you know,
Speaker 3: had anything to do with the fight. I still think
Speaker 3: he always wanted to fight. I don't think this was
Speaker 3: the back out of a fight or anything. I really
Speaker 3: think that.
Speaker 5: He's selling the hell out of this fight right now,
Speaker 5: selling if Ryan got to see it, is gonna fight
Speaker 5: April twenty up against Devin Haney.
Speaker 2: We're all tuning in. He's got casuals ready to watch him.
Speaker 5: By the way, Ryan Haney always, I mean, Ryan Garcia
Speaker 5: always does good pay per view numbers as it is,
Speaker 5: but he definitely got people intrigued to want to see
Speaker 5: this fight on four twenty, even casuals.
Speaker 2: Yeah what.
Speaker 1: Devin Handy yesterday said that he feels like Ryan Garcia
Speaker 1: is playing crazy to promote the fight.
Speaker 3: See why gotta be crazy, Gotta been playing crazy.
Speaker 2: Devin just asking for attention. He's definitely selling the hell
Speaker 2: out of this fight.
Speaker 3: Well, hopefully what he said gets enough attention in the world.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. But until then, we can
Speaker 3: keep on speaking Jesus name, like he said, because why
Speaker 3: wouldn't we Moving on, Cam Newton speaks on recent fight.
Speaker 3: Cam Newton appeared on an episode of The Big Podcast
Speaker 3: with Shack. He spoke on the fight that was caught
Speaker 3: on camera at his football camp.
Speaker 2: That's what he had to say.
Speaker 14: What you saw was those were grown men, those weren't kids.
Speaker 14: That narrative was familiar coaching, and it got chippy. For me,
Speaker 14: That's not the first time that happens, and honestly, knowing
Speaker 14: my world, that probably won't be the life.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 14: Yeah, people see like, yeah Cam standing on business, Yeah,
Speaker 14: Cam had bobby pins in his head. You know, those
Speaker 14: are all funny things. But when I look at it,
Speaker 14: it's like, man, they could have got ugly on both sides.
Speaker 14: Because I'm the type of person when I feel triggered,
Speaker 14: I react, I don't think.
Speaker 2: And that's the issue.
Speaker 3: I agree. You did you just say that when that happened,
Speaker 3: I ain't like hogh, shake was like, so what happened
Speaker 3: that your little football camp, first of all, shacked just
Speaker 3: because you're bigger than everything. You know, Man, don't be
Speaker 3: doing all that I ain't when we represent you know,
Speaker 3: accomplishments as little. But yeah, I felt like I would
Speaker 3: even like to bologize because I kept saying kids, kids,
Speaker 3: but they looked like kids next to your big as
Speaker 3: cam so yeah, but they were grown in and like
Speaker 3: he said, things could have gotten ugly on both sides
Speaker 3: and he reacted the wrong way or whatever.
Speaker 2: But that was his first time speaking on it.
Speaker 1: But I think it's a lot of lack of respect,
Speaker 1: right yeah. And I see it all the time, especially
Speaker 1: with athletes, with people that do well. You see it
Speaker 1: with comedians, Oh you ain't funny, or you see it
Speaker 1: with athletes.
Speaker 2: So I bought your hands right now.
Speaker 1: Well, you see it all the time when people test
Speaker 1: these these people at that showed their compliments. Don't give
Speaker 1: them the props. I see it all because everybody got
Speaker 1: a smartphone down.
Speaker 5: Everybody got their own little reality show going on, and
Speaker 5: they think we all are extras and guest stars in
Speaker 5: their reality show.
Speaker 2: That's the smartest thing you ever said. Shown.
Speaker 3: All right, moving on call, Michael shares his family's reactions
Speaker 3: to him being gaged. So Draw Carmichael is releasing a
Speaker 3: docu series. Oh my gosh, He's releasing a self titled
Speaker 3: docu series on HBO. The show will follow his life
Speaker 3: at home and his relationship with his parents. And we
Speaker 3: have a little snippet of the trailer, number eight.
Speaker 2: You don't have no eight? Oh my good?
Speaker 3: All right, why I'm reporting the second album because I
Speaker 3: only got a few seconds anyway, this is something.
Speaker 2: Oh my good.
Speaker 5: I did hear you tease that story earlier, so I
Speaker 5: don't know why it's not in there.
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 3: I literally edited myself.
Speaker 2: I know Jesus. All right, well, thank you so much.
Speaker 3: You got it now, but now you're about to swirl
Speaker 3: your finger, so I'll get to it now.
Speaker 1: When we come back. We got front page news and
Speaker 1: then xboxer Andre water be joining us.
Speaker 2: They don't move. It's the Breakfast Club comboarding.
Speaker 18: You're checking out the Breakfast Club owning everybody.
Speaker 1: It's DJ nv Jess, hilarious, Charlomagne gud we are to
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2: Let's get in some front page news.
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 2: Test?
Speaker 11: What's going on? DJ and V Jess hilarious. Charlemanea.
Speaker 1: Guys, hey girl, let's jump right into it. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about the subway in all of the crime that's going
Speaker 1: on in the.
Speaker 8: Say yeah, I can't wait to get your response on
Speaker 8: this Guy's with you.
Speaker 11: Guys being in New York City.
Speaker 8: Now, you'll see the National Guard armed with M sixteen
Speaker 8: as a part of the.
Speaker 11: New plan to fight subway crime. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 7: There were sixteen's part of the Governor's five parts plan
Speaker 7: announced today aimed at combating subway crime.
Speaker 2: Seven hundred and fifty National Guard soldiers, two hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty State troopers and MTA police and more random backchucks.
Speaker 10: To those who are feeling anxious whenever they walk to
Speaker 10: those turnstiles.
Speaker 2: We'll stop at nothing to keep you safe, so rogers.
Speaker 2: Though not sure if it'll have the intended effect. Wow,
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was that the point of National
Speaker 2: Guards needed more nervous because I feel like there's more
Speaker 2: of a threat.
Speaker 3: Happening versus just the police. I don't think the National
Speaker 3: Guard would be a good idea concern.
Speaker 2: Take hark back to nine to eleven. Feels like a
Speaker 2: huge overreaction and overreach Donnald Lieberman is the executive director
Speaker 2: of the NYCLU. Calling out the National Guard in response
Speaker 2: to some incidents is not.
Speaker 11: The way to go now.
Speaker 8: The Governor wants to give the judges more power for
Speaker 8: repeat offenders by creating a new early warning system for
Speaker 8: repeat offenders and wants them banned for three years if
Speaker 8: they've been being convicted of a violent crime. Here's what
Speaker 8: she had to say and what Michael Kemper had to say.
Speaker 8: Who is the Chief of Transition.
Speaker 2: We know who they are.
Speaker 10: They'll flag the criminal history at the time of arrest,
Speaker 10: so it could be fully considered when decisions regarding charging
Speaker 10: and bail are made.
Speaker 2: Are we arresting people one hundred times?
Speaker 9: And once we make the arrest, why are they back
Speaker 9: out within a day or two sometimes?
Speaker 8: So the experts say that involved in the National Guard
Speaker 8: is not sustainable. It's only going to last a few
Speaker 8: months of They're saying, you know, what's the point in
Speaker 8: doing it. It's just making folks anxious. The governor did
Speaker 8: say that cameras will be on every car by the
Speaker 8: end of the year and in every conductor booth, and
Speaker 8: some of the resources will be spent to make the
Speaker 8: system safer and Meeric Eric Adams said the overall crime
Speaker 8: is down. He said double digit decreases in suburb crimes
Speaker 8: since February twenty twenty four. Some folks say that NYPD
Speaker 8: should have gotten the twenty million dollars to put more
Speaker 8: officers on the subway, opposed to you know, giving it
Speaker 8: to the National Crime So what do you guys think.
Speaker 8: Let me give a five point crime plan so we
Speaker 8: can talk about it. Seven hundred and fifty National Guard members,
Speaker 8: two hundred and fifty MTA and state police new cameras,
Speaker 8: point two three, twenty million to expand mental health teams
Speaker 8: for improved coordination, and five ban on repeat offenders.
Speaker 11: Think they're doing too much or is it's a good thing?
Speaker 5: Well, I think there's long term solutions and short term solutions.
Speaker 5: This is a short term, temporary solution that may or
Speaker 5: make things.
Speaker 2: Better, all right, may make things worse.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 5: I love number two on here, which is the twenty
Speaker 5: million dollars they expand mental health teams because I always
Speaker 5: want to get to the root of the problem, and
Speaker 5: the root of the problem is.
Speaker 2: You know, dealing with with poverty.
Speaker 5: The root of the problem is getting folks proper access
Speaker 5: to mental health care. That's how you reduce you know,
Speaker 5: crime anywhere when you provide people, you know, resources to
Speaker 5: put food on their table and a roof over their head,
Speaker 5: and you provide them resources that have proper you know,
Speaker 5: access to mental health care. But that's the long term solution.
Speaker 5: But you know America does not know how to solve
Speaker 5: problems long term.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I will say this though.
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at at airplanes and airports, right
Speaker 1: and they say they get about I'm looking right now.
Speaker 1: They said about one point seven three million people fly daily.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Then you look at the New York City subways and
Speaker 1: it says about two point four million people ride the subway.
Speaker 2: There's no protection for those peop on the subway.
Speaker 1: Yesterday the conductor got bashed in their head with a bottle,
Speaker 1: like it's no protection. I don't ride the subways. I
Speaker 1: don't my kids don't ride the subway. It is not
Speaker 1: safe down there, and people get cut down there. You
Speaker 1: hear about stories people getting pushed onto the track. It's
Speaker 1: very dangerous and there's no protection. There's not enough protection
Speaker 1: for people there. So if you can have protection in
Speaker 1: the airport and make people go through all types of devices,
Speaker 1: and there are armed guards at the airport, why not
Speaker 1: in a place with subway where they have more people
Speaker 1: than the airports.
Speaker 5: That's just how I Yet, Yeah, I don't believe they're
Speaker 5: saying they don't want protection. They just feel like this
Speaker 5: might be an overreach because it's what it's a thousand
Speaker 5: National guardsmen they're putting in the subways.
Speaker 8: Seven hundred and fifty and so when you talk about
Speaker 8: what the National Guard, you know what they're the job
Speaker 8: is to respond to domestic emergency. So the question is
Speaker 8: do you think it's necessary to have the National Guard,
Speaker 8: you know, within sixteens And keep in mind the National
Speaker 8: Guard is not trained to.
Speaker 11: Deal with subway incidents.
Speaker 8: So that's why NYPD is saying more money should be
Speaker 8: spent on the actual police officers that actually know how
Speaker 8: to work with folks on the subway, who are accustomed
Speaker 8: to that type of patrolling.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's seven hundred and fifty National Guard tell and
Speaker 5: fifty MTA and state police, so it is almost a thousand.
Speaker 11: Yes, yes, it is total overall.
Speaker 8: Yes.
Speaker 11: When I was speaking to the.
Speaker 8: National Guard, so do you think mby I mean, does
Speaker 8: that make you feel safer? Jeff jess looking at somebody
Speaker 8: with M sixteen or does it make you anxious like that?
Speaker 2: They you know, I feel safer?
Speaker 1: You do cook it? I do too, if I'm not
Speaker 1: doing that wrong. You got feel safe. I know somebody
Speaker 1: I can run to. Somebody trying to bash me over
Speaker 1: the head or cut me or shoot me or rob
Speaker 1: me or or still.
Speaker 2: I would feel safe.
Speaker 5: Yeah, walking through the airport, when you walking through jfcareport
Speaker 5: and all people with them sixteen you yeah, you feel safe.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's wrong, Yeah.
Speaker 11: Something wrong with it.
Speaker 8: Some folks say that they don't. They feel it's anxious.
Speaker 8: They just make them feel anxious, like you know what's
Speaker 8: going on or they're gonna shoot start shooting folks down.
Speaker 8: So but again, this is only this is not a
Speaker 8: short term solution.
Speaker 11: It's just a couple of months. So what's the point.
Speaker 8: I guess it happened them a couple of months and
Speaker 8: then and then going back to business as usual.
Speaker 5: But that's what I say when I say you got
Speaker 5: to have a long term solution, and the long term
Speaker 5: solution is dealing with poverty and getting folks proper access
Speaker 5: to mental healthcare. Like that's how you reduce crime anywhere.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean, Like they're not trying to
Speaker 5: actually solve the problem of crime in this country. They're
Speaker 5: just finding ways to police it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But the sad thing about it is any place where
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people, whether it's a football game,
Speaker 1: a basketball game, or any type of thing with it
Speaker 1: is a lot of people. A concert, they make people
Speaker 1: go through some type of form of security to protect
Speaker 1: each other. Right the subway is the only place where
Speaker 1: millions of people go and nobody checks nothing on them.
Speaker 8: But they are doing random bag checks. But I know
Speaker 8: your point. You mean, like every single person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't know what anybody got in their bag, Like,
Speaker 1: you don't know if they got a weapon, you don't
Speaker 1: know if they had a bad day.
Speaker 2: You don't know everything else they.
Speaker 5: Check people, but random bag checks. You know who the
Speaker 5: random people they're gonna be checking the most is black
Speaker 5: and brown people.
Speaker 2: You do know that.
Speaker 1: But that's why I said I didn say anything bout random.
Speaker 1: That's why you put some type of system out of
Speaker 1: there where everybody has to walk through some type of security.
Speaker 1: You know, once you're inside, y'all pretty much playing on
Speaker 1: the same playing field, you know, all right, Well, thank
Speaker 1: you tiz absolutely.

Speaker 5: I hope you all read andre Ward's book already, Killing
Speaker 5: the Image of Champions Journey of Faith, Fighting and Forgiveness.
Speaker 5: You've always been like notoriously, you know, private with your
Speaker 5: personal life to a certain extent. How did you know
Speaker 5: now with the time to reveal it all in the book.
Speaker 7: Man, it's been it's been a it's been a few
Speaker 7: years coming. You know.
Speaker 16: I've said it many times, you know, promoting this book.
Speaker 16: Like I'm an eighties baby, you know, and I was
Speaker 16: raised to not share my business, my family's business, you know.
Speaker 16: And it's it's not about this day and age because
Speaker 16: people overshare that. People think that like being private is
Speaker 16: some weird or you know, some some sneaky about you
Speaker 16: with you how And it's like, nah, that's a superpower
Speaker 16: to like keep my business to myself and not and
Speaker 16: not share it. So but as I'm getting in the
Speaker 16: game and I'm mentoring a lot of guys, you know,
Speaker 16: I'm trying to tell.
Speaker 7: Them, like, bro, I understand what you're going through. I've
Speaker 7: been there, done that.
Speaker 16: And they're like, nah, you've always been like this, and
Speaker 16: it's like nah, bro, like I'm telling you I did
Speaker 16: more than you. So I start getting discontent and start
Speaker 16: feeling like, man, they don't have the full story. And
Speaker 16: I was talking to my pastor, man, and he was like, Joe,
Speaker 16: you got to kill the image. And I'm like, what
Speaker 16: you mean? He was like, Nah, who you are is real,
Speaker 16: but it's not who you've always been. You can tell
Speaker 16: that story.
Speaker 1: Now for people that don't know who andre Ward is
Speaker 1: and how you got in the box, and break that
Speaker 1: down a little bit.
Speaker 2: What got you into boxing? What made you love boxing?
Speaker 16: My daddy, My daddy, I was My first love was baseball.
Speaker 16: You know, I was a picture on the shortstop and
Speaker 16: but I was always competitive, always, you know, just competitive,
Speaker 16: like I'm a sore winner and a sored loser. And
Speaker 16: my daddy started telling me about his amateur careers. You know,
Speaker 16: he was a fifteen and ois a heavyweight, and I'm like,
Speaker 16: what you mean?
Speaker 7: You box?
Speaker 16: And my dad, you know, like I said, he raised
Speaker 16: me as a single parents. I'm like, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 16: I didn't even think about it. And that was like
Speaker 16: that was the first seed. That was something. And my
Speaker 16: dad being my dad, you know, and I talk about
Speaker 16: this in the book, you like, and we're gonna do it.
Speaker 7: We're gonna do it.
Speaker 16: Right, You're not gonna quit. But the first day I
Speaker 16: walked in the gym, man, it was love at first sight.
Speaker 16: And I didn't even really understand what that was. I
Speaker 16: just knew the sights and the sounds and speedbag, the
Speaker 16: heavy bag, you know, the smells of the gym, you know,
Speaker 16: hearing people ha ha ha hitting the bag and sparring.
Speaker 7: I knew I loved it. I knew I loved it.
Speaker 7: I wasn't very good when we first started.
Speaker 2: Was he hard on you there?
Speaker 16: But that's why my dad couldn't train it. You know
Speaker 16: my dad was you know, he was all or nothing.
Speaker 16: You know, I told you to get your bleep bleep
Speaker 16: hands up, man, just what you're doing, move your.
Speaker 7: Head, and me I would shut down. I don't respond
Speaker 7: to that.
Speaker 16: And shortly after I started, we met Virgil, my godfather,
Speaker 16: lifelong trainer, and verbs had a different finesse about it.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 16: He would he would, babe, try this, dude, get your
Speaker 16: hands up enough. I responded to that. So my dad
Speaker 16: was wise enough to pass me on the verb.
Speaker 5: We don't hear those stories enough about single fathers, yes,
Speaker 5: rare he How did that impact you?
Speaker 2: Not have a mother now? You always hear about a
Speaker 2: father now, man.
Speaker 16: The good part of it was I got to see
Speaker 16: a man get up every day and go to work.
Speaker 16: My father would always say, you know, I got my struggles.
Speaker 16: And my father he struggled with heroin addiction, but he
Speaker 16: was a functional at it, and my mother was a
Speaker 16: full blown you know, she was in San Francisco.
Speaker 7: I'm in the East Bay.
Speaker 16: And she's completely in her addiction. And my dad will say,
Speaker 16: I don't care what I'm going through. I'm not leaving,
Speaker 16: you know. So just seeing him get up every day
Speaker 16: he owned his own business, get up every day and
Speaker 16: go to work. He struggled at night. He had that
Speaker 16: monkey on his back when he came home. But that
Speaker 16: showed me what manhood was about. That gave me a
Speaker 16: strength about me and a confidence about me. Not having
Speaker 16: the mother there that I didn't have that nurturing. I
Speaker 16: was raised by a bachelor. I didn't have that, that gentleness,
Speaker 16: that balanced that a young man needs. So now when
Speaker 16: I get into a relationship, I wonder why I got
Speaker 16: mistrust and distrust for this young lady, my wife, Tiffany
Speaker 16: that I'm that I say I love. I can't see
Speaker 16: the truck because the most important woman in my life
Speaker 16: at the time, she wasn't there. So it took me time,
Speaker 16: Charlota Mane to start realizing the mother womb. We talk
Speaker 16: about father wounds, but the mother woman that I had
Speaker 16: going into adulthood and how that followed me. And I
Speaker 16: didn't realize this until later in life, and I had
Speaker 16: to do a lot of work, and you know, I'm
Speaker 16: in a much better place now, but not having my
Speaker 16: mother there, it definitely impacted me for sure.
Speaker 1: How did you get over there? I mean, not having
Speaker 1: a mom in your life, Like you say, that sensitive side,
Speaker 1: that nurturing inside because you know, dad, especially in that era,
Speaker 1: is you fall, get your ass back because you better
Speaker 1: not cry.
Speaker 2: That was dads back then.
Speaker 1: But you didn't have that other side of mom said
Speaker 1: well let me let me hug you, let me hold up,
Speaker 1: so let me make you feel better. So how did
Speaker 1: you get over it?
Speaker 16: I mean the first thing is just identifying what it was.
Speaker 16: Took a lot of lumps to get there, you know
Speaker 16: what I'm saying, because I'm you know, I'm not trusting
Speaker 16: and I'm blaming her, I'm not loving her the way
Speaker 16: I should, and I'm blaming her.
Speaker 7: And it just took me.
Speaker 16: You know, really, when I crossed over and got out
Speaker 16: the streets and really settled down and gave my life
Speaker 16: to God, I started really being able to hear my
Speaker 16: thoughts and really put the patterns together, and then remember
Speaker 16: the struggles that my dad had, Like, man, my dad
Speaker 16: struggled with this too, And then getting around you know,
Speaker 16: they say a few good men, my pastor and a
Speaker 16: couple of good court brothers that I have, and just
Speaker 16: them helping me identify certain things and talk can through
Speaker 16: that stuff. And for me, when I talk through things
Speaker 16: with the right person, it's cathartic, it's therapeutic, like even
Speaker 16: writing a book, Like it's a lot of pain, you
Speaker 16: pulling off old scabs and old wounds, but the end
Speaker 16: is it's good. So really just identifying what it was,
Speaker 16: understanding what it was, acknowledging it, and then allowing the
Speaker 16: help to help me.
Speaker 5: I wonder how did that how you talk about your wife,
Speaker 5: but I'm talking about this relationship with women period, how
Speaker 5: did that affect you not having a mom, How did
Speaker 5: you look at women like throughout your whole life?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 7: Like I said, it was just distrust and mistrust.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Did it ever comes to a point like where your
Speaker 3: wife where y'all want a verge of divorce or separation?
Speaker 3: Or was she just always very patient understood from the jump.
Speaker 16: Oh no, we went at it for sure. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 16: but you know you got to realize too. We started
Speaker 16: super young, like first first child. We met in high school.
Speaker 16: First child sixteen years old, second child eighteen years old.
Speaker 7: And I'm living with vergs.
Speaker 16: Like I said, my godfather training his wife and she
Speaker 16: mad were going at it and Bird just sit us down.
Speaker 16: This is how you want to carry yourself as a
Speaker 16: wife and as a woman, dre and he I felt
Speaker 16: like he was always taking her side, Like why you're
Speaker 16: always taking her side? Nah, he said, listen, I'm trying
Speaker 16: to I'm trying to help you. Man, sit down and
Speaker 16: stop talking. And he would just sit us down and
Speaker 16: break it down. He would open the wordness and that's
Speaker 16: how you're supposed to carry yourself. Now, look when he
Speaker 16: go to the gym on and this is again we're seventeen,
Speaker 16: eighteen years old, nineteen years old.
Speaker 7: He go to the gym all day.
Speaker 16: Don't as soon as he come through the door, start
Speaker 16: yelling at him and telling him what he didn't do.
Speaker 16: You gotta give him a chance to unwind, take a shower, eat,
Speaker 16: and then go talk to him. So I see her listening.
Speaker 16: Then he get on me, man, you need to stop
Speaker 16: reacting like that, bro.
Speaker 7: You trip it.
Speaker 16: It was that type of counseling that we had that
Speaker 16: wasn't even like formal counseling, but it was him sitting
Speaker 16: down and this is in the middle of him going
Speaker 16: through his own personal marital stuff. He would sit us
Speaker 16: down to educate us about what he believed the wife
Speaker 16: was supposed to look like bek and what a husband
Speaker 16: was supposed to be like.
Speaker 7: And it was a lie.
Speaker 1: How didn't know you would the one one it came
Speaker 1: to boxing, you know, because everybody, I mean, you go
Speaker 1: to these gyms, like everybody thinks they had won to
Speaker 1: go to gleasings and everybody's like that the next How
Speaker 1: did they know.
Speaker 2: That you were the one out of all that? What
Speaker 2: was that something that somebody seen?
Speaker 16: It didn't start out like that, you know, Like I said,
Speaker 16: I think it just started out something I wanted to
Speaker 16: do and I went in there and I had to
Speaker 16: really pay my dues the first couple of years, like
Speaker 16: I was getting beat all over the ring.
Speaker 1: Because you said the Olympics like you were ready for it.
Speaker 16: But it got to a certain point where once I
Speaker 16: overcame in that gym. After that first year, we call
Speaker 16: it being battle tested. Once I got battle tested in
Speaker 16: that gym, then it was like, all right, let's go
Speaker 16: to the nationals. Once I won my first national title
Speaker 16: at ten years old in nineteen ninety six. Once I
Speaker 16: did that, I think everybody starts saying that, men, he
Speaker 16: could be the one. And it sounds crazy when I'm
Speaker 16: ten years old. But I kept winning, and I kept winning,
Speaker 16: and then we start, you know, vergis the counter and
Speaker 16: saying but we got.
Speaker 7: Nine years to the Olympic.
Speaker 16: We got seven years, and I just I turned into
Speaker 16: this prodigy and I gave up my whole childhood to
Speaker 16: do it. So it went for me looking like I
Speaker 16: might not have it to all of a sudden, He's
Speaker 16: going to be the one. So at a certain point
Speaker 16: it became a fourgon c lousing I'm gonna go to
Speaker 16: the Lilympics. Want to go medal turn pro, win championships
Speaker 16: and make a lot of money. Like that just was
Speaker 16: the conversation in my home. It sounds crazy, but that's
Speaker 16: what it was.
Speaker 1: All right. We got more with andre Ward when we
Speaker 1: come back, don't move.
Speaker 2: It's the breakfast club. Good morning, m V. Jesse Hilarius Charlaamae.
Speaker 1: The guy was still kicking it with boxer well retired
Speaker 1: boxer andre Ward Charlamagne.
Speaker 5: I want to go back to your parents just for
Speaker 5: a couple more questions. Were you ever afraid that the
Speaker 5: disease of addiction would would get you?
Speaker 16: It did get me, Oh man, it did get me.
Speaker 16: And it wasn't a long time, but it was long enough.
Speaker 16: I had a two three year stint where you know,
Speaker 16: some people say generational curses, some people say generational pattern.
Speaker 16: They had me and I was already you know, dibbling
Speaker 16: with weed and starting to drink, probably sixteen years old.
Speaker 16: I mean, it really stemmed from this. I believe, like
Speaker 16: I said, my mother was a was a full blown adict.
Speaker 16: My daddy was a functional attic. Once I started realizing
Speaker 16: that my dad was struggling, and I no longer was
Speaker 16: buying the lines, and I'm just you know, he would
Speaker 16: my dad would go to work all day and he
Speaker 16: would come home and and you know, talk to me
Speaker 16: and my brother, and he would go up in that
Speaker 16: room and he would always have a water run and
Speaker 16: it'd be like an hour or two hours. When my
Speaker 16: daddy came out, his face was flushed and he just
Speaker 16: acting funny's slurring, and I didn't I didn't understand what
Speaker 16: was going on. Then I started putting it together. I
Speaker 16: found a needle. I'm questioning him about that. Then I
Speaker 16: got to the age where I'm like, man, you're getting high.
Speaker 16: Then that bitterness and that resentment and all that anger
Speaker 16: started to rise up. So what I do is I
Speaker 16: go to what's familiar to my family, alcohol and drugs.
Speaker 16: But I'm hiding at this point. When my father dies
Speaker 16: at eighteen years old, that was my excuse just to
Speaker 16: go buck Wow.
Speaker 7: And I did.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question.
Speaker 1: Jess and I were talking about this a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and this is a no judgment zone. What
Speaker 1: I always wanted to know, like when you see something
Speaker 1: affect your family in a negative way, right, I think
Speaker 1: we were talking about bow Wow. I was talking about
Speaker 1: he see mac millerdo lean and passed away from it,
Speaker 1: but then he tried it. And I always wanted to
Speaker 1: know the mind frame of somebody seeing it destroyed somebody
Speaker 1: but saying I'm gonna try it, I can overcome her,
Speaker 1: Like what's that mind frame?
Speaker 2: Because you see what it's doing, and you see what
Speaker 2: it does you still say I try it?
Speaker 7: It depends, Bro.
Speaker 16: You got to realize it's forces behind them, generational curses.
Speaker 16: It ain't just natural. It's forces behind it, and them
Speaker 16: forces follow you, generational and you don't have to give
Speaker 16: into it.
Speaker 7: But once you open that door and you.
Speaker 16: Say, yeah, I'm gonna try this now zone And I
Speaker 16: wasn't emotionally mentally mature enough to be able to make
Speaker 16: those decisions. All I knew was I was hurting. I'm
Speaker 16: dealing with depression. I'm dealing with anxiety, and I don't
Speaker 16: know that that's what it is. All I know is
Speaker 16: when I drink something or when I smoke something, I
Speaker 16: don't feel.
Speaker 7: That way no more. That edge is taken onporarily.
Speaker 16: But once I got myself together, and you know, I
Speaker 16: got clean and I got I kicked all of that stuff.
Speaker 16: Then I started thinking the way you said, I'm never
Speaker 16: gonna touch that again. I gotta do something different from
Speaker 16: my kids. But I wasn't at that stage. I didn't
Speaker 16: have that kind of strength and power. And it's interesting too,
Speaker 16: because my dad, my grandfather, Harold, he was an a
Speaker 16: functional alcoholic great man, but he had a drinking problem.
Speaker 16: My dad vowed I never touched a drink because my
Speaker 16: dad only told me he loved me when he was drunk,
Speaker 16: and he never did. But then he turned to hear them.
Speaker 16: So it's a slippery slope.
Speaker 2: Would you say you replaced one addiction with another when
Speaker 2: you took up boxing.
Speaker 7: I wouldn't say I replaced it.
Speaker 16: I would say, man, I got free, And I would
Speaker 16: say that I just channeled who I am as a
Speaker 16: person that drive that focus toward the right thing. You know,
Speaker 16: I don't look at boxing like an addiction, and I
Speaker 16: always have tried to.
Speaker 7: And it's not easy.
Speaker 12: Man.
Speaker 16: I don't want to sit here and act like it's
Speaker 16: an easy thing. But I've always tried to keep that
Speaker 16: sport in its proper place because I knew it was
Speaker 16: in one day. And I'm fortunate that God always put
Speaker 16: me around people who would walk that walk. My pastor
Speaker 16: Napoleon Coft and form a raider. He played All American
Speaker 16: in college, six years as a professional runner back, and
Speaker 16: then he did. He went in the ministry and never
Speaker 16: looked back. I had him to talk to me, Dray, Listen, man,
Speaker 16: this is what you do, it's not who you are.
Speaker 16: Guy's got other up for you bro a, enjoy it,
Speaker 16: give it all you got, but it's not gonna always
Speaker 16: be there. So I had people like that in my
Speaker 16: ear so when the time came, the impact wasn't its hard.
Speaker 2: What effected losing your father have on you? And what
Speaker 2: was your relationship?
Speaker 16: Like I mean, my dad was my mother and my father.
Speaker 16: For many many years, that was my everything, and it
Speaker 16: had a profound effect and I still feel it to
Speaker 16: this day. Now this thing isn't as as strong, but
Speaker 16: I had times when I'm with my kids and I
Speaker 16: just drift off.
Speaker 7: And I'm thinking, like, man, my dad can see this
Speaker 7: right now.
Speaker 16: He lived long enough to see my first child, Dre Junior,
Speaker 16: and Tiffany was pregnant with our second child, Malacho, and
Speaker 16: then he passed in two thousand and two. I have
Speaker 16: moments like that. I think about how my career would
Speaker 16: have been different if my dad was here. I think
Speaker 16: about me helping my dad and giving back to him
Speaker 16: and buying in my house or just you know, just
Speaker 16: just doing life with him. I wish I had my
Speaker 16: father there to talk about life. I got questions, man,
Speaker 16: even at forty years I just turned forty. Men, I'm
Speaker 16: still trying to figure it out. I think about that
Speaker 16: stuff are all the time. It was a devastating loss, man,
Speaker 16: devastating loss. But I don't want to ever say I
Speaker 16: got over it. But I've been able to cope with it,
Speaker 16: deal with it, and you know, hopefully make him proud
Speaker 16: with the life that I live.
Speaker 3: Because you retired at thirty three?
Speaker 2: Yeah young?
Speaker 3: Yeah did all that right?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So if your dad was here, you would have would
Speaker 3: have gone longer, you believe.
Speaker 16: So, I don't know what, Like my dad loved boxing,
Speaker 16: but he wouldn't like my dad was always focused on
Speaker 16: the man, you know, Like he was always focused on
Speaker 16: me and my character and the type of play that
Speaker 16: he was always big on that, So I don't my dad.
Speaker 16: I don't think my dad would have been trying to
Speaker 16: push me to stay in the sport. I think it
Speaker 16: probably would have been the opposite. He might have wanted
Speaker 16: me to ended a little bit earlier than when I did.
Speaker 2: How did you know it was time then?
Speaker 5: Because he was undefeated, like, yeah, thirteen, relatively young in
Speaker 5: the sport.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like what made you? How did you know it's
Speaker 2: time to hang the gloves up? Man?
Speaker 16: I started feeling it two three years before I did it.
Speaker 16: And I would always ask the other athletes, how did
Speaker 16: you know? And they would all say the same thing.
Speaker 7: You just gonna know. You're gonna wake up one day
Speaker 7: and you don't want to do it.
Speaker 16: So I started hearing myself Charlotte Magne say that our
Speaker 16: word three four years before. I would just say stuff
Speaker 16: and I'd be like, oh, yeah, what you just said?
Speaker 16: I and I would I would be aware of that.
Speaker 16: I'm self aware, like yo and you talking like that.
Speaker 16: But I still had to drive. I'm still looking good,
Speaker 16: I'm still sharp, and went through the laws superior with
Speaker 16: my promoter, going through that where you know, money going
Speaker 16: out and no money coming in, and I'm like, look, man,
Speaker 16: I'm gonna end this on my turn. They trying to
Speaker 16: start me out. If I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna
Speaker 16: go out of my own term. My pastor like now,
Speaker 16: I don't do it. My wife like it's too it's premature,
Speaker 16: don't do it. Don't don't send that letter out you
Speaker 16: just wrote and got through that. Had my run with
Speaker 16: Rock Nation for three years, and uh, it got to
Speaker 16: the point after the first COVID left fight, I thought
Speaker 16: I was done. After that, my body was starting to
Speaker 16: break down. You know, I've had multiple knee surgeries and stuff,
Speaker 16: and it wasn't boxing related. It's just all the preparation,
Speaker 16: all the training, and man, you just want your freedom back.
Speaker 16: Like I'm the type of person that when I do something,
Speaker 16: I really do it like I'm locked in, Like it's
Speaker 16: just the way I am. I didn't want to be
Speaker 16: that guy all the time. My body's starting to break down.
Speaker 16: My kids weren't high school. It was like all these
Speaker 16: mitigating circumstances Charlotte, Maine that start adding up. You know,
Speaker 16: I'm a numbers cruncher, so I'm crunching the numbers like, man, okay,
Speaker 16: if I get this much on my money every year,
Speaker 16: And it wasn't it. Just like my pastor was like, Bro,
Speaker 16: you're not gonna be able to figure that out. You're
Speaker 16: gonna have to step out on face. So if you
Speaker 16: if you want to walk, you gotta walk in faith.
Speaker 16: If you're gonna stay, you gotta stay in faith. So
Speaker 16: I went and talked to him after COVID AED one
Speaker 16: and I was like, man, I think I'm done. I
Speaker 16: had been in the gym in three months, and that's
Speaker 16: not like me. I'm like, man, I have no desire
Speaker 16: to be in no gym. I just fought the dude
Speaker 16: that they said I wasn't gonna fight and want a
Speaker 16: close decision. Everybody say, all you lost you this, I said,
Speaker 16: but what am I doing this for? And he sat
Speaker 16: there and I just I just knew he was gonna
Speaker 16: co sign what I was saying. He sat there, he
Speaker 16: was like, I think I can see you doing one
Speaker 16: more and I'm like, yeah, but I ain't got the this.
Speaker 16: They he said, once you go that fire, come back.
Speaker 16: And I remember leaving his office disappointed because every time
Speaker 16: I talk about retirement, every time I talk about getting
Speaker 16: my freedom back, somebody always giving me a reason to stay.
Speaker 16: So it's weird, right, Like I knew I was gonna
Speaker 16: miss it, but I'm also fighting to get out of it.
Speaker 16: And this is after I did this since I was nine.
Speaker 16: So people don't do the math. You're just thirty three,
Speaker 16: But you got to date that back to nine years
Speaker 16: old and the toad that that takes mentally, physically, emotionally,
Speaker 16: the things that I missed, the things that I couldn't
Speaker 16: be a part of and do the pressure that I
Speaker 16: have on me. I hadn't lost a fight since I
Speaker 16: was fourteen years old.
Speaker 7: That's pressure.
Speaker 16: So you get to a point that even though I
Speaker 16: can do this, I don't know if I want to
Speaker 16: do this. Win far Cobla the second time, and I
Speaker 16: know it was time. When you say freedom, like, what
Speaker 16: do you mean? Like the simple things like wanting to
Speaker 16: eat what you want to eat or noth having to
Speaker 16: be on the training regimen? Like what do you mean
Speaker 16: when you say freedom? Boxing consumes you? I feel like
Speaker 16: it has to if you're going to be elite. Like
Speaker 16: if I was on this trip right now, I would
Speaker 16: have to be doing the math. When was the last
Speaker 16: time I ran? Like I eat now, I try to
Speaker 16: eat good for my health, but I would have to
Speaker 16: eat good for performance. Right where you weigh at? Well,
Speaker 16: hey man, you when you're coming back all of that
Speaker 16: kind of stuff. I was always on the clock, always
Speaker 16: an obligation, always on the clock, and nobody put more
Speaker 16: pressure on me than me. So I was tired of myself.
Speaker 16: I need a break for me, because I know how
Speaker 16: I get with competition. I need a break for me.
Speaker 16: I deserve to miss a week or two. If I
Speaker 16: want to miss a week or two, that feels good
Speaker 16: to be able to do that. I wouldn't be able
Speaker 16: to do that if I was active.
Speaker 1: Will no move Boxer, Andre water Store, This is the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. The Morning Retired has a new book out
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 5: Charloamae, When did you realize you were turning generational curses
Speaker 5: and the generational blessing.
Speaker 16: That's a good question, man. I think when when I
Speaker 16: start allowing God to get me together. When I start,
Speaker 16: my eyes started to get clear, and I started to
Speaker 16: see things right. When I started to learn what it
Speaker 16: meant to to mour in my father's death. Didn't know
Speaker 16: what that meant. When I started being honest about where
Speaker 16: I was and being honest about my emotions and feelings.
Speaker 16: When I started acknowledging the mother wound, and I I
Speaker 16: was affecting my relationship with Tiffany, Like when I started
Speaker 16: like that, that's I believe, that's being a real man.
Speaker 16: When I was able to humble myself and really start
Speaker 16: acknowledging these things, I started that I was shifting a
Speaker 16: pair of down. The paradine was shifting, and generationally the
Speaker 16: curse has to stop with somebody. And I believe that
Speaker 16: God was using me and my wife to stop a
Speaker 16: lot of the things that have been in our family,
Speaker 16: generational even even poverty, certain poverty mentalities, and I just
Speaker 16: believe I was helping me and my wife to break that.
Speaker 7: So self has started with me. I got to get
Speaker 7: me right.
Speaker 16: I can't lead a family. I can't leave my wife,
Speaker 16: I can't leave my kids. I can't do it unless
Speaker 16: I'm getting myself together perfect by no means. But I'm
Speaker 16: saying them blatant things, them blatant sins and things that
Speaker 16: generational things that we're talking about.
Speaker 7: I can't do those things and be the proper leader.
Speaker 2: When it comes to God.
Speaker 5: Do you remember the moment, our event that caused you
Speaker 5: to like really strengthen your faith in your belief?
Speaker 16: My father always gave me a foundation in a word.
Speaker 16: And it's interesting because I didn't grow up in the
Speaker 16: church like that, but my father had an understanding and
Speaker 16: he would open up the Bible, say, man, you got
Speaker 16: you know, I probably gave my life to God, probably
Speaker 16: like times when I.
Speaker 7: Was a kid, just making sure that didn't work, you
Speaker 7: know what I'm saying, and just young and not knowing
Speaker 7: no better.
Speaker 16: But I always had a respect and a reverence for God.
Speaker 16: And you know, when I started getting notoriety like you know,
Speaker 16: I'm aging myself right now. But the newspapers would come
Speaker 16: to the school and they would want to do an
Speaker 16: article on me and my brother. My dad would be like, man,
Speaker 16: make sure you give God glory and stuff. And I
Speaker 16: didn't really fully understand, and I was scared to do
Speaker 16: it at that time. My brother, he was outspoken, this, dude,
Speaker 16: we're Christian. I'm like, bro, shut up, bro, like you
Speaker 16: always like.
Speaker 7: I wasn't there.
Speaker 16: He was there, but that's where it started. But that
Speaker 16: was my father's face. And then when I start going
Speaker 16: through life and then I lost him, I was angry
Speaker 16: at God. I didn't want them to do a church. God,
Speaker 16: nothing like you allowed this to happen. I didn't acknowledge
Speaker 16: that I was already slipping and tripping before my dad died.
Speaker 7: It was his fault.
Speaker 16: And every time I would smoke something, every time I
Speaker 16: would drink something, every time i'd be in a situation,
Speaker 16: I felt like my conscience was still there. I wasn't
Speaker 16: completely gone, but I would think, man, you're not supposed to.
Speaker 7: Be doing this. Bro, And vergs to tell me, and
Speaker 7: I talk about this in the book.
Speaker 16: Verge was not only a boxing trainer, but he worked
Speaker 16: in a probation department of juvenile off for twenty five
Speaker 16: year and Verge had and has a gift for young men.
Speaker 16: He can look at you and say something, make you laugh,
Speaker 16: but also get at you at the same time. And
Speaker 16: he used to sit there in the kitchen Man in
Speaker 16: East Ookland, Man where we lived, and he would say,
Speaker 16: he say, brother, you ain't gonna get God a and
Speaker 16: gonna let you get away with nothing. And this is
Speaker 16: when I'm in the thick of it. And I would
Speaker 16: get mad and be like, man, why you haint knowing me? Man,
Speaker 16: I'm just trying to do my thing and live my life.
Speaker 16: Say look, man, I hear you, but I'm telling you,
Speaker 16: God ain't gonna let you get away with nothing.
Speaker 7: And sure enough I'd be in a car full of dudes.
Speaker 7: You come here. I couldn't get away with nothing.
Speaker 16: I could do a little bit, but every time I
Speaker 16: try to step it up. So those things were starting
Speaker 16: to chip away at me. And I knew even though
Speaker 16: I'm still doing I knew, like, man, this ain't gonna
Speaker 16: last long. I'm not gonna have a long career in
Speaker 16: the streets.
Speaker 1: I'm just not.
Speaker 7: So it was that kind of stuff Charlemagne.
Speaker 16: When I'm in a thick of my situation and I'm
Speaker 16: rejecting him, He's still running after me, right, And it
Speaker 16: wasn't to the point to where life was really happening.
Speaker 16: I had another child and stuff just start piling up.
Speaker 16: I had to look up and have a conversation with God. Man,
Speaker 16: I had I was off some ecstasy, and I talk
Speaker 16: about this in the in the in the in the
Speaker 16: in the beginning of the book, and my heart racing,
Speaker 16: and I knew I was gonna die.
Speaker 7: I just knew it.
Speaker 16: And it took that Charlot Magne for me to get
Speaker 16: through my anger, get through my frustration. When the pressure hit,
Speaker 16: I knew where to go. And I looked up and
Speaker 16: had a conversation with God and he sentially made a
Speaker 16: deal with it.
Speaker 7: Man, you let me live. I'm done, I'm tired.
Speaker 16: I'm sorry forgetting I had to And I made it
Speaker 16: through that, obviously, And that was the start of my journey.
Speaker 16: Did it happen overnight, though, But I started softening my heart.
Speaker 16: I started being open to God again. I started being
Speaker 16: I started listening to Verge a little bit more. You know,
Speaker 16: the window was closing for the Olympics. I'm probably two
Speaker 16: years out at this point, and and it was little
Speaker 16: by little man, but slowly but surely, man, when I
Speaker 16: saw God supernaturally take the desire and the taste for alcohol,
Speaker 16: drugs and everything else from me. Some people may have
Speaker 16: to go to a program, and I don't knock that.
Speaker 16: Everybody got that different stuff. But when I saw that happen,
Speaker 16: I was like, man, this stuff is real. When I
Speaker 16: started to develop my own faith and my own relationship,
Speaker 16: and I started to sense and feel God speaking to
Speaker 16: me and helping me, and it wasn't just my father's
Speaker 16: faith no more.
Speaker 7: That was that was a memorial. I never forget that.
Speaker 7: I never forget that.
Speaker 16: And then giving me the power to sustain me all
Speaker 16: these years in a sport like boxing, being a young
Speaker 16: father and a young husband, like, man, I'm not that good.
Speaker 16: Like without a relationship with God and having that power
Speaker 16: working in my life. Oh, y'all gonna be reading about
Speaker 16: me on the bottom of the taker for sure. In
Speaker 16: one part of my mind says, all you would have
Speaker 16: held it together, you would have been fine. But the
Speaker 16: other part of me saying, you're.
Speaker 1: Not that good.
Speaker 2: So that's the apothea syndrome.
Speaker 16: Yeah, so's it's all the process that got me to
Speaker 16: his feet and then everything that ensued after I've seen
Speaker 16: too much, Charla Mane, and I've experienced too much to
Speaker 16: go back. I just had personal experience where it's like
Speaker 16: do and I'm not the kind of person that can
Speaker 16: just read a rule book and then try to follow it,
Speaker 16: Like I need to feel something tangible, something that's real.
Speaker 7: I felt that, and I feel that to this day.
Speaker 5: What made you start going into like seek therapy and
Speaker 5: things of that nature, Because a lot of people that's
Speaker 5: very spiritual, they say, oh, God is enough.
Speaker 2: What made you realize I needed something else?
Speaker 16: Well, I got great counselors at my church. I chose
Speaker 16: to go that route because I wanted a godly perspective
Speaker 16: with it. You know, I don't knock anybody else. You
Speaker 16: got to know what's good for you, right. But then
Speaker 16: it just kind of naturally happened. I wasn't like, all right,
Speaker 16: I didn't gonna make a conscious decision. I just started
Speaker 16: talking to my pastor, and him, being who he is
Speaker 16: a wise man, be like, well, tell me about that,
Speaker 16: and I'm I'm I'm all of a sudden in the
Speaker 16: counseling session and didn't even realize that I was in
Speaker 16: the counseling session. But I knew I felt better after
Speaker 16: talking about it and in him tell me, well, man,
Speaker 16: you may want to think about that. Man, man, I
Speaker 16: see I know you're going through that right now, but
Speaker 16: God's gonna see you through. And he had vision beyond
Speaker 16: what I was going through. That kind of stuff stimulated me,
Speaker 16: gave me hope. It gave me the ability to believe
Speaker 16: the man, I can. I can do this, this husband thing.
Speaker 16: I could be a father, man I could. I could
Speaker 16: be in this career still.
Speaker 7: Represent God and I'd be weird of noxious about it,
Speaker 7: but just live the life in front of it. I
Speaker 7: can do this. So it just kind of happened. Charlamgne.
Speaker 16: It wasn't really a conscious decision, but I knew I
Speaker 16: felt better when I did it. I knew I felt lighter.
Speaker 16: I knew it gave me hope, and I do it
Speaker 16: to this day when I feel that pressure hit. Yeah,
Speaker 16: I have my relationship with God, but I got a
Speaker 16: core group of brothers that I call I gotta. I
Speaker 16: got a few people at my church I can put past.
Speaker 16: I need to holl let you I need to come
Speaker 16: what's what's going on?
Speaker 7: Comes to nout. I need that, So I just begin
Speaker 7: to see the value of it over time.
Speaker 3: I just reported a story about Ryan gonna see it
Speaker 3: and everything that he's going through now when we were
Speaker 3: having a conversation earlier about should they call his fight
Speaker 3: because he seems to be, you know, just going through
Speaker 3: so many things and just you know, and publicly we're
Speaker 3: seeing it, you know what I mean, like, how what
Speaker 3: would you what do you have to say to speak
Speaker 3: to that?
Speaker 16: Or he's in a tough spot right now because you've
Speaker 16: got this fight coming up and you do not have
Speaker 16: time for self care or you got to prepare for war.
Speaker 7: So it's it's it's this stuff is coming at a
Speaker 7: bad time. And it didn't just come. This stuff.
Speaker 16: It's probably been going on and it's just showing itself now.
Speaker 16: I don't know about the social media stuff and if
Speaker 16: that stuff is him, because he did put out a
Speaker 16: video saying that he didn't have access to his stuff.
Speaker 16: But the things that I've heard him say, it seems
Speaker 16: I it seems off. I'm not trying to minimize a
Speaker 16: marginalize what he seems to be going through, but you
Speaker 16: know his father was like, oh, he's just trolling the
Speaker 16: wrong way. I've heard him say things about trolling, so
Speaker 16: I don't believe it's just trolling. But you you know,
Speaker 16: he's got a lot of follower he's got a big following.
Speaker 16: You wonder like, man, is this some of this stuff?
Speaker 16: But I think my gut is saying that it's real,
Speaker 16: and it's just he's no longer able to hide it
Speaker 16: or keep it behind the scenes. He's in a real
Speaker 16: tough spot right now because of his fight. But I think,
Speaker 16: and I don't know if he should cancel the fight
Speaker 16: or if he's gonna even be able to get through
Speaker 16: a training training camp.
Speaker 2: It's a lot.
Speaker 7: You pushing your body past the limit two three times
Speaker 7: a day.
Speaker 2: That's a lot.
Speaker 7: When do you have time to focus on yourself? You don't,
Speaker 7: and he's not.
Speaker 16: So it's really sad to see it, and it's really
Speaker 16: concerning to see because young kid with a lot, a
Speaker 16: lot of money, big following, but it's clearly something going on.
Speaker 2: On the back of the book you have what if
Speaker 2: I die? Why did you have that question?
Speaker 16: That was the moment that I was telling you all
Speaker 16: about where I felt like I was gonna overdose. Yeah,
Speaker 16: that was the moment, and for me being hard head
Speaker 16: at that time of my life, that's what it took, unfortunately,
Speaker 16: but it's a it's a moment I'll never forget.
Speaker 7: This is a human interest story, man. This is about
Speaker 7: a young.
Speaker 16: Man who had a dream, who almost lost it all
Speaker 16: and gave his life to God. And it's just been
Speaker 16: trying to walk this thing out and do life. But
Speaker 16: just do it better than my family members did it,
Speaker 16: and hopefully my kids will do it.
Speaker 7: Better than I didn't.
Speaker 2: That's right. You have it, andre Ward.
Speaker 5: Killing the image bookstores everywhere right now, everywhere you buy books,
Speaker 5: go get it.
Speaker 2: That's right. And it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning everybody.
Speaker 1: Hey NV, just hilarious charlamage the guy. We are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Let's get to jest with the message.
Speaker 3: Just rob the miwork, just don't do is gonna bring numbers.
Speaker 2: On the Breakfast Club, the stocks stocks.
Speaker 3: Now we can get back into a Jerroi Carmichael. He
Speaker 3: is starting to put out his own documentaries on HBO.
Speaker 3: Now his parents do not support him being gay. At
Speaker 3: one point, his mother tries to pray his gay away.
Speaker 3: This whole debut March twenty ninth. Y'all, we have a
Speaker 3: little snip bit of the trailer.
Speaker 2: I have a boyfriend now.
Speaker 19: When I came out, yeah, reacted like someone died. It
Speaker 19: hurt my feelings. Mom basically said I was going to
Speaker 19: held I.
Speaker 1: Didn't like the Bible.
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody's being hard on you.
Speaker 2: I think people are calling you to do better.
Speaker 1: Hell lord, I'll come to you.
Speaker 3: Gerard. And I take the desire from my son to
Speaker 3: be with a mail and he's a slam my part.
Speaker 1: I love you.
Speaker 7: This times to be discussed on camera.
Speaker 19: Yes I bring in cameras, and yes that's my way,
Speaker 19: and yes I'm afraid to have these conversations without them.
Speaker 2: It's just blut. How many specially this draw call Michaels
Speaker 2: gonna do about being gay? I don't love that's my guy.
Speaker 5: Every docuseries, every special, it's like he's almost like he's
Speaker 5: coming out again for.
Speaker 2: The first time.
Speaker 1: Would you pray with your mom, if your mom trying
Speaker 1: to pray the gay away, would you would you sit
Speaker 1: down like Molas.
Speaker 3: Pray The respect that he has for his mom, I
Speaker 3: think that he just Yeah, it's tough, but something that
Speaker 3: I just don't like that, she said in her prayer.
Speaker 2: She was like, God, we come to you, and I.
Speaker 3: Didn't come to You know, he's just showing respect to
Speaker 3: his mother, you know what I'm saying, but his dad.
Speaker 3: I think what's more interesting about this docuseries or whatever
Speaker 3: is that it sheds the light on his.
Speaker 2: Parents not supporting him in that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: You know, this is the first time, right, the first
Speaker 5: docuseries he did. This was even before his special. The
Speaker 5: special was called. I forgot what the special was called.
Speaker 5: But the first dot you said he did with HBO,
Speaker 5: he told them and it was like they didn't even care.
Speaker 2: It was just like nonchalant about it.
Speaker 1: This joking.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And by the way, it felt like the public didn't
Speaker 5: even care. Nobody said anything about it. We talked about
Speaker 5: it when he came up here, and then when he
Speaker 5: did the special, when he said it in the special,
Speaker 5: everybody's like, oh, draw Carmichael comes out. But I'm like,
Speaker 5: he said that before, So I guess this is a
Speaker 5: continuation of it. Maybe he needed to do them closer together.
Speaker 5: You are like sequels that are coming out two three
Speaker 5: four years apart.
Speaker 1: Still life though, and he's still trying to figure out
Speaker 1: that still having these conversations with his family, and.
Speaker 3: You can tell that he's very close with his parents,
Speaker 3: so it may affect him that they react in that way.
Speaker 3: But the first time, going back to like you said,
Speaker 3: when they told him and when he told them and
Speaker 3: they didn't really care, maybe that was the way they
Speaker 3: did it on camera because oh, Dad is like, do
Speaker 3: we gotta do this on camera?
Speaker 2: He was like, yeah, this is the way that I
Speaker 2: want to be known.
Speaker 3: So maybe behind the scenes they're treating him a different way,
Speaker 3: like they're just totally like undermining him who he is,
Speaker 3: who he prefers to be.
Speaker 2: That could be dangers too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's why he wants.
Speaker 2: It to be on camera. Just start just stop paying
Speaker 2: for everything.
Speaker 5: They can't accept your life, if they can't accept who
Speaker 5: you are and your lifestyle, and stop paying.
Speaker 2: For they paying for everything. Is he paying for everything.
Speaker 7: His parents might have?
Speaker 2: I'm sure yes, I'm sure does very well for himself.
Speaker 2: His family's in North Carolina. Yes, and he loves his family,
Speaker 2: so of course he takes care. But if you don't
Speaker 2: love my life, though, I bet y'all stop paying for ever.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Rithaniel. That was the name
Speaker 2: of the spion. But it's it's very deadly.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say deadly, but it could be
Speaker 1: odd when you have older parents and you put them
Speaker 1: on camera and you start talking because something like my parents.
Speaker 2: No filters, there's no filter. Want his good nineties gay slurs.
Speaker 2: Let me put my daddy up. That's why he don't
Speaker 2: even meant him. He don't even meet him in the
Speaker 2: way y'all mean. But that's why I hope he'll listen
Speaker 2: to about this club you're feeling right now. It's with
Speaker 2: the cowboy out there in Kidfield.
Speaker 1: Was happening right to your cowboys roper, Remember he told
Speaker 1: me shut up?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can tell you right knock. Can hear him
Speaker 2: in my head? Tell that Bige.
Speaker 3: Every day?
Speaker 2: Why do you act?
Speaker 1: Gay?
Speaker 18: Son?
Speaker 2: Act anyway?
Speaker 3: Drake Bell opens up about sexual abuse. A few weeks ago,
Speaker 3: I reported an upcoming docum series is called Quiet on
Speaker 3: Set The Dark Side of Kids TV. It's an ID
Speaker 3: Channel documentary that will reveal the unsafe work environment for
Speaker 3: child actors who worked with Dan Schnyder. In the earlier promos,
Speaker 3: they never revealed which child actor experienced the sexual abuse.
Speaker 2: But in the latest round of promo, Drake Bell comes forward.
Speaker 3: Drake Bell is from Like All That The Amanda Show,
Speaker 3: and he later later became known for his own Nickelodeon show,
Speaker 3: Drake and Josh. Drake will be speaking on being sexually
Speaker 3: abused by Brian Peck. Brian Peck was a dialogue coach
Speaker 3: for Nickelodeon. In two thousand and four, he was convicted
Speaker 3: of sexual abuse and charge sexual abuse charges in order
Speaker 3: to register as a sex offender. Now, in two thousand
Speaker 3: and three, he was arrested on eleven charges related to
Speaker 3: sexual abuse allegations involving an anonymous minor. And people seem
Speaker 3: to think that that anonymous minor is Drake Bell. And
Speaker 3: then what's interesting is in two thousand and four, Peck
Speaker 3: pleaded no contest to oral corporation with a minor under
Speaker 3: sixteen and performing a leude act with a fourteen or
Speaker 3: fifteen year old. Last month, the cast members from Boy
Speaker 3: Meets World, which is one of my favorite shows, spoke
Speaker 3: about supporting Brian Pack during his trial. Now, he had
Speaker 3: showed up to court with a lot of stars with him,
Speaker 3: you know, to support him, right, and they have a
Speaker 3: podcast or whatever, and then they he had kicked it
Speaker 3: to them like he was innocent, and when they came
Speaker 3: and they saw the case on fold, they was like, Nah,
Speaker 3: this man is not innocent. So they actually went on
Speaker 3: the podcast and talked about how ashamed that they were
Speaker 3: that they even decided to support him, and the victim's
Speaker 3: mother turned and said, look at all the famous people
Speaker 3: you brought with you, and it doesn't change what you
Speaker 3: did to my kid. I just sat there wanting to die.
Speaker 3: That was what the victim's mom said.
Speaker 2: What's that coming up?
Speaker 3: The documentary is set to air March seventeenth, and they
Speaker 3: will air on Max.
Speaker 2: So I'm watching that.
Speaker 5: I'm interested in that too, just because I want to
Speaker 5: see how an institution like Nickelodeon, as big as it was,
Speaker 5: they didn't have proper protections in place for kids. The
Speaker 5: whole network is centered around child stars. Yeah, they're not
Speaker 5: a system in place to protect these children.
Speaker 2: And Drake Bell was not the only one.
Speaker 3: And then what's crazy on the quiet on the set trailer,
Speaker 3: it's producers on there acting like they don't know what's
Speaker 3: going to It was somebody?
Speaker 1: It wasn't.
Speaker 3: It wasn't somebody on one of our shows? Was it
Speaker 3: and the lady behind the camera was like, yes it was,
Speaker 3: and they sitting there, I'm sorry, they acting just like
Speaker 3: the Nickelodeon kids back in the day, like and acting.
Speaker 3: They asked off like they don't know what the documentary
Speaker 3: is about.
Speaker 2: So what you thought this was?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh no, Maybe they didn't know what was happening to
Speaker 2: the kids, is what they were trying to say. I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it, but well we'd see March seventeenth.
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 2: That's just for the mess for the second album.
Speaker 1: Danky Jess Charlemagne will give it that down, Cue man far.
Speaker 2: After the hour.
Speaker 5: I need a news anchor named Corey Stark from Saint
Speaker 5: Louis to come to the front of the congregation. But
Speaker 5: we're gonna use this as a teachable moment. Are a
Speaker 5: moment to bring some much needed change. We'll discuss when
Speaker 5: we come back.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get to that next.
Speaker 2: It's the Breakfast Club, Warner.
Speaker 18: You're checking out the Breakfast Club, Charlaage. Some donkey to
Speaker 18: day is just sudden, Charlotte Man, I was ready.
Speaker 19: For the day.
Speaker 2: I never read the Donkey other day.
Speaker 12: What is it.
Speaker 2: Again, charlamn Y you are.
Speaker 7: Every day, Charlotte Lane the same It's true.
Speaker 2: Donkey today for Thursday March seventh.
Speaker 5: Today the seventh raight Yees Thursday March seventh goes to
Speaker 5: Saint Louis news station k m OB and one of
Speaker 5: their anchors, Corey Stark. Now, I'm gonna give this man
Speaker 5: donkey of the day for what he did, Okay, because
Speaker 5: to be making this mistake in twenty twenty four is insanity.
Speaker 5: But we're gonna have to have a family discussion too,
Speaker 5: because I'm sick of you hypocritical, contradicting ass colored folks
Speaker 5: not being consistent. All Right, we have to be the
Speaker 5: change we want to see in the world, and I'm
Speaker 5: gonna get to that in one second.
Speaker 2: Now. KMOV has been forced to issue an apology.
Speaker 5: Corey Stark has been forced to issue after issue an
Speaker 5: apology after he said this American.
Speaker 20: Dream, but tonight colored homeowners are sounding the A arm
Speaker 20: when it comes to undervalue to home appraisals.
Speaker 2: Play it one with time, Right.
Speaker 20: American dream, but tonight colored homeowners are sounding the A
Speaker 20: arm when it comes to undervalued to home appraisals.
Speaker 5: Okay, Corey said, tonight colored homeowners are sounding the alarm
Speaker 5: when it comes to undervalued home appraisals, and the colors
Speaker 5: lost their minds about it. Now, First of all, the
Speaker 5: fact that the word colored is distracting from the actual
Speaker 5: point of the story Corey was trying to tell. It's
Speaker 5: hilarious to me, okay, And the story he was trying
Speaker 5: to tell is that black people were sounding the alarm
Speaker 5: on undervalued home appraisals. Okay, the impact of racial bias
Speaker 5: on home appraisals is something that needs to be discussed
Speaker 5: and amplified. But folks are talking about that right now
Speaker 5: because they're too busy being upset over the use of
Speaker 5: the word colored.
Speaker 2: This is us distracting us. Okay.
Speaker 5: We complain about our issues not being spoken about in
Speaker 5: the media, but when they are, we have found a
Speaker 5: way to deflect to something else.
Speaker 2: Now, like I said, Kmov and.
Speaker 5: Corey Stark are getting the biggest he haf because this
Speaker 5: is just a stupid mistake to make in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5: All right, we have seen enough examples of white people
Speaker 5: using the word colored to know this wasn't going in Well.
Speaker 5: Whoever put that and the prompter is an idiot. Corey
Speaker 5: Stark repeating it is an idiot, all right. Corey said
Speaker 5: the words should have never come out of his mouth,
Speaker 5: and he blamed it on a change to the teleprompter.
Speaker 5: He said the phrase initially was homeowners of color, but
Speaker 5: it was later changed.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 5: The National Association of Black Journalists said they were appalled
Speaker 5: and disappointed by its use. They released a statement where
Speaker 5: they said colored is an offensive term due to its
Speaker 5: use shites during segregation in the US and the Jim
Speaker 5: Crow era. It has fallen out of use due to
Speaker 5: its negative connotation. Remember that line. Okay, The term colored
Speaker 5: has fallen out of use due to its negative connotation.
Speaker 5: The NABJ continued by saying, it is upsetting that such
Speaker 5: a slur would make it to the air. The term
Speaker 5: is outdated, offensive and racist. I need us to remember
Speaker 5: all of this language, all of this rhetoric. Okay, The
Speaker 5: njAB said, KMOV are oh yeah. njAB said they are
Speaker 5: concerned that KMOV that nobody in the newsroom caught this
Speaker 5: era and they question their editorial process when it comes
Speaker 5: to cultural awareness.
Speaker 2: Yes, because Saint Louis is forty percent.
Speaker 5: Black and the city is no stranger to racial strife,
Speaker 5: we would hope KMOV would be more sensitive to how
Speaker 5: it covers the black community.
Speaker 2: I agree with all of that.
Speaker 5: Okay, other communities don't let play, don't let people play
Speaker 5: with them when it comes to racial slurs, and we
Speaker 5: shouldn't let people play with us either. Now, Corey Stark
Speaker 5: did issue an apology. He said, KMOV is meeting with
Speaker 5: community members is we describe to do better every day.
Speaker 5: The words should have never come out of my mouth,
Speaker 5: and it does not reflect who I am or what
Speaker 5: first alert for represents.
Speaker 2: End quote.
Speaker 5: Now this is where it gets a little confus for me.
Speaker 5: You know, I'm not the highest grade weed in the dispensary,
Speaker 5: nor am I a strong as avengers.
Speaker 2: So bear with me. I'm always open to learning, So
Speaker 2: school me if I'm wrong here.
Speaker 5: But John Bowman, who is the Saint Louis County president
Speaker 5: for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
Speaker 5: Colored People, says he contacted KMOV right after the broadcast
Speaker 5: because the word colored is triggering for the black community.
Speaker 5: The president for the NUBACP of Saint Louis, the National
Speaker 5: Association for the Advancement of Colored People, says the word
Speaker 5: colored is triggering for the black community. Nobody gonna say
Speaker 5: nothing with me.
Speaker 2: Strange. I've said this before. Okay, I've said this before.
Speaker 5: But if the National Association of Black Journalists says colored
Speaker 5: is an offensive term due to its usage during segregation
Speaker 5: in the US and the Jim Crow era, and they
Speaker 5: said it's falling out of use due to its negative connotation,
Speaker 5: and they said it's outdated, offensive and racist. With all
Speaker 5: that said, don't you think it's time for the n
Speaker 5: double ACP to make a name change.
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 5: Imagine the president of the n DOUBLEACP in Saint Louis
Speaker 5: making a call to KMOV saying, hello, this is John
Speaker 5: Bowman from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,
Speaker 5: and I think the word colored is triggering.
Speaker 2: For the black community. That sounds stupid.
Speaker 20: I know.
Speaker 5: Sometimes these crackers just want to be like nigga please, okay,
Speaker 5: all right. I agree with everything the NABJ said about
Speaker 5: the word color. I agree with what John Bowman said
Speaker 5: about the word color. But I also think we look
Speaker 5: like devil, damn fool saying we are offended by this
Speaker 5: word when the NAACP is right there using the word So,
Speaker 5: how was Corey Stark or any other other supposed to
Speaker 5: say the full name of the NUBACP, the National Association
Speaker 5: for the Advancement to See Word People.
Speaker 2: HM, Like, what are we doing? Okay, black people, shouldn't
Speaker 2: we practice what we preach.
Speaker 5: I'm one of those people who believe whatever I demand
Speaker 5: from you, I much first demand to myself. So I'm
Speaker 5: gonna need you colors to figure this out. Okay, at
Speaker 5: least before the next Black History Month, right, because when
Speaker 5: you don't practice what you preach, all I can hear isocracy.
Speaker 2: Please let Chelsea handle give kmov and Corey start the
Speaker 2: biggest he hall hee haw hee haw. That is way
Speaker 2: too much.
Speaker 5: Dan Maynes right now, want color beyond social media? Argument
Speaker 5: with me, y'all talk among yourselves and figure that out.
Speaker 2: That is crazy.
Speaker 3: How you gonna somebody no get to day or coloring
Speaker 3: it up? And then you're calling us colors.
Speaker 5: Because I have donated to the National Association for the
Speaker 5: Advancement of Color People.
Speaker 3: And that's crazy because I feel like trash because I
Speaker 3: was nominated for the.
Speaker 2: People, two of them that's good for being for the
Speaker 2: b M film right to change it.
Speaker 1: Changing.
Speaker 2: I'm not colored, but it.
Speaker 5: Does make it does they should change it? Very very
Speaker 5: confused that guy calls me. Yeah, you calling me like
Speaker 5: color people. I'm offended by the word color, but you're
Speaker 5: calling from the National National Association for the Advancement of
Speaker 5: Colored People.
Speaker 2: Come on, y'all, come on, let's use some common since Yeah.
Speaker 1: Guys, come on now, and you just how people feel
Speaker 1: about the N word too, though, you know that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: ain't no organizations with the N word?
Speaker 2: Okay, well, yeah, ain'tations? You know how you know, how
Speaker 2: can people be upset with a no uganizations?
Speaker 5: And that's all play. It's all slang and slurs. And
Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not saying they're wrong either. I'm just
Speaker 5: saying that there's between slang and slurs and having an
Speaker 5: organization called the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Speaker 5: I agree with everything that they said about the word,
Speaker 5: you know, being offensive due to its usage during segregation
Speaker 5: in the US and the Jim Crow era and the
Speaker 5: n A b J said it's falling out of use
Speaker 5: due to its negative connotation. They said it's outdated, offensive
Speaker 5: and racist. If the president of the n double a
Speaker 5: CP and Saint Louis says the word is triggering and
Speaker 5: offensive and somebody needs to change the name of the
Speaker 5: n double a CP.
Speaker 3: And I do feel like, okay, so I get what
Speaker 3: you saying, envy, but I don't think that that's a
Speaker 3: good metaphor. I mean a good uh you know what
Speaker 3: you mean? Yeah, exactly, but we'll say what I mean,
Speaker 3: thank you A good example. I think like the football team,
Speaker 3: like the Washington Redskins. Okay, they had to change that.
Speaker 3: They are now the Washington Commanders. I think that's kind
Speaker 3: of like what that is. And I do agree they
Speaker 3: had to change that.
Speaker 1: But there's no other group of people that use a
Speaker 1: slur as a term of endearment. Though you never see
Speaker 1: a bunch of white people like you don't see.
Speaker 12: That, do you?
Speaker 8: Times?
Speaker 2: Sometimes they be doing that's playing in slurs, real organization
Speaker 2: that has existed for years now with us a hard
Speaker 2: e all nord no.
Speaker 1: Oh like trigger but yeah, yeah, you know what when
Speaker 1: we come back down that Rowland to be doing us
Speaker 1: think for that donkey.
Speaker 3: Day just like a colored it's just.

Speaker 4: and this unwritten companion, hate your enemy.
Speaker 2: I'm challenging that if you.

Speaker 5: Matthew five five, Media Charlamagne happy are the mild tempered?
Speaker 5: Since they would inherit the earth? That's Matthew five five. Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 5: How are you feeling, brother, I feel very mild. In fact,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna tell you this is how mald I feel.
Speaker 5: I've looked at the careers of a lot of people,
Speaker 5: right yes, and some of those people that are super
Speaker 5: hot that aren't that wild, they're not doing the same
Speaker 5: thing that the mild performers.
Speaker 4: I don't use names. I'm not talking about anybody. I mean,
Speaker 4: we could get to it. I mean it's not listen.
Speaker 4: I had a conversation with a very close friend of mind.
Speaker 4: And they said they knew that I was doing the
Speaker 4: breakfast club right, and they said, Donelle, don't do it.
Speaker 4: That's what that person says, don't breakfast.
Speaker 2: They don't do what I'm not.
Speaker 1: Used to say.
Speaker 4: They said, don't do what they're going to try to do.
Speaker 4: You always he said, don't do it. And the reason why,
Speaker 4: he said, here's the thing. You could say, I'm giving
Speaker 4: light to somebody that doesn't deserve light. I'm giving energy
Speaker 4: and pumping up something that doesn't have to be pumped up.
Speaker 4: Now we could talk about the situation. I see that sinister,
Speaker 4: nasty light skin. Looked at your having. You look very light.
Speaker 4: You look very like lighter than normal, set like. You
Speaker 4: look like like tsia like light light like. The thing is,
Speaker 4: I know it's your business as a fake journalist, as
Speaker 4: immediate personality, you have to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 2: You have to get what people talk about in the streets.
Speaker 2: I don't want to do that, but we can't. No,
Speaker 2: I want to hear and wait, wait, what's special A
Speaker 2: new day? Know what platform? Netflix?
Speaker 4: Not on the YouTube, not a podcast? Continue Netflix. I'm
Speaker 4: just saying there's levels of.
Speaker 2: All right, yes, way that's what we do.
Speaker 4: Are you I'm still in the top ten, that's what
Speaker 4: we call from. People don't understand that to look for clicks.
Speaker 4: This is called in this business of it's called charting.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: Now, there are a lot of shows on Netflix, and
Speaker 4: here's when the world, not just a podcast, sees you
Speaker 4: when you chart. But my special drop on the twenty seventh.
Speaker 4: The next day, it was charted at number two. Now, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: let's talk about it.
Speaker 2: Don't try to. I don't need that congratulation. I don't
Speaker 2: want your congratulations. I want to talk about the facts.
Speaker 4: I have a respectful question that before that, I have
Speaker 4: to answer this question. First, special drops question you and
Speaker 4: you were getting there?
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 4: It charted nonumber two. Yes, and it held on to
Speaker 4: number two for three days. It went to number four
Speaker 4: for a couple of days, it went to number seven.
Speaker 4: I'm not really sure even if it's charging right now.
Speaker 4: But to have a Netflix special to come out as
Speaker 4: many programs that are Netflix just to get recognized in
Speaker 4: the top ten, it's a big joint. It's a big deal,
Speaker 4: and it's the reason why I support any comic that
Speaker 4: want to follow my lead and be mild. You should
Speaker 4: do it, That's what I'm saying. And to address that,
Speaker 4: here's my thing. All right, we'll say it. I don't
Speaker 4: want to get into it. I don't want to get
Speaker 4: into it because I don't want to be messing.
Speaker 2: No, but no, no, I got to say this to it.
Speaker 2: It's in your face, you sinistered.
Speaker 7: I like, that's the type of you are.
Speaker 2: I don't get this.
Speaker 5: You've always been such a mild mannered comic. What is
Speaker 5: setting you off about this situation?
Speaker 4: The thing that's setting me up about the situation it's
Speaker 4: being called mild. I'm gonna tell you why. It's the
Speaker 4: same issue wh I here with you for a person
Speaker 4: that I'm bringing you back in when I want to,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna pray for you. Dear father, help this.
Speaker 2: All right? The point I'm making, what was the point
Speaker 2: of can you keep you on your Why you don't
Speaker 2: like to be called a mind?
Speaker 7: The reason why?
Speaker 4: And it's I say, the issue I had with you,
Speaker 4: And I said, okay, keep on trying to create the
Speaker 4: narrative that he's not funny. You don't understand it's not true.
Speaker 4: I said, to begin, let me say this, let me
Speaker 4: talk to a comedian you know the in word for
Speaker 4: us not funny and corny. As much success as you've had,
Speaker 4: and I know that if you've dealt with they, sayers
Speaker 4: and everything, and you can brush it off, your numbers
Speaker 4: don't lie. It's still something personal about somebody saying that,
Speaker 4: and you want to say you I know I'm not.
Speaker 4: And the reason why I'm gonna say that, and I'll
Speaker 4: address this first off, you got to ask who's judging me?
Speaker 2: Who is saying you mouth?
Speaker 4: If that person is now on a level of what
Speaker 4: I've done, when you talk about what your mouth saying, resume,
Speaker 4: even on a level, it's not even fair for you
Speaker 4: to make an assessment of what you think my career
Speaker 4: is because I could do I can do the resumes and.
Speaker 1: This is what I could do. Resume.
Speaker 2: You can say the resume.
Speaker 4: I know you saw scorpion balls. I know I'm I'm
Speaker 4: gonna deliver yourself. You know what I'm saying. It's like, Okay,
Speaker 4: who's judging me? And then when somebody's judging, you're making
Speaker 4: a critique of me, what are you doing? What are
Speaker 4: you doing to your career? But sitting back trying to
Speaker 4: on a mother and I take offense to anybody say
Speaker 4: not funny, because I know after thirty.
Speaker 2: Years, that's not what the streets are saying. Isn't that
Speaker 2: the sign of a narcissist? Yes, always bringing it back
Speaker 2: to you. It's not about you.
Speaker 1: But but did you open me?
Speaker 7: This interview is me?
Speaker 2: That's right day new doing it. I'm feeling good. But
Speaker 2: you opened up for him that night right a left actory?
Speaker 17: What?
Speaker 1: No, I didn't.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 4: I think it's very petty for comedians to try to
Speaker 4: be critics of comedians when you're in the same field.
Speaker 4: Nobody does that, And I know the question is, well,
Speaker 4: what's up with all this comedy thief or whatever?
Speaker 2: And it's unfortunate who got that question? I had that
Speaker 2: question here. There's an elephant in a row.
Speaker 3: We ask every other comedian that comes up here that question.
Speaker 3: And I was gonna get to that. How you feel
Speaker 3: about the comedy beef in the climate that it's in.
Speaker 3: Let's take away the podcast? Who talks about everybody to
Speaker 3: get attention, let's.
Speaker 2: Comedy? I answer this way is to do you got
Speaker 2: to like comics, white comms, black commons? Whatever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the thing is in our community, we feel like
Speaker 4: it only could be one black person on top of
Speaker 4: one time. Nobody wants to share the stage. They feel
Speaker 4: like Hollywood picks this person. But everybody can win. Everybody
Speaker 4: wants to be Batman, but it's gonna be more Robbins
Speaker 4: than anything. We're not supportive of each other, very very selfish,
Speaker 4: very competitive, but not the point of everybody.
Speaker 1: Though.
Speaker 4: We see we're talking to you. Sorry, I'm talking to
Speaker 4: a comedian. Do you want to do comedy? You can
Speaker 4: start like we did. We can do open mics. I
Speaker 4: know you have a platform and you think you could
Speaker 4: do anything. Do we interrupt cars like this? You imagine
Speaker 4: me interfering when you talking about one of your past cards.
Speaker 1: Sorry, continue anywhere in mind goodness.
Speaker 4: The question is we very very very very hateful and
Speaker 4: as bad as a climate has been in comedy, this
Speaker 4: is the common denominator with everybody that's been a subject
Speaker 4: a discussion from say say and if all these names
Speaker 4: that came up, the one thing that's common with everybody
Speaker 4: is that we all started from nothing. There's not a
Speaker 4: story of anybody's names going up that didn't come from
Speaker 4: one family house.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Nothing.
Speaker 4: Everybody, everybody they talk about had a dream and they
Speaker 4: turn their dream into reality. So my thing, if you
Speaker 4: want to be critical of that, then use that same
Speaker 4: criticism and talk about the come up, talk about the
Speaker 4: people that have done it, and let people know that
Speaker 4: this is something that you can focus on and you
Speaker 4: can do it, you can be good at it, and you.
Speaker 2: Make it successful.
Speaker 4: The only thing right now our in our comedy community
Speaker 4: is that people are trying to sell controversy.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: They don't want to sell jokes anymore because they know
Speaker 4: what moves the needle. Every podcast platform. I did a
Speaker 4: whole media run and everybody soon as I walked in,
Speaker 4: they wanted the controverty which I heard so about that
Speaker 4: they want, oh I heard this because they know that
Speaker 4: our society, we gravitate toward negativity more than anything. That's
Speaker 4: why you look at news, the news, whatever New York news,
Speaker 4: you look at it. Person was murdered in Brooklyn, person
Speaker 4: was murdered in Bronx. Because we gravitate toward negative stuff.
Speaker 4: It's unfortunate where we ever get where we have these
Speaker 4: positive stories, never because that don't move the dow. So
Speaker 4: you got people here trying to move a down with
Speaker 4: podcasts whatever, and the way I'm trying to move a
Speaker 4: dow Is by what I'm doing, I don't have to
Speaker 4: talk about it. I'm not copy about my Netflix special.
Speaker 4: I've been doing this for thirty two years. And anybody
Speaker 4: you know, you know my history. Anybody they know my history.
Speaker 4: I put the work in.
Speaker 2: So when you try to discredit that, I'm gonna defend.
Speaker 1: That we got more with donnyll Rawlings when we come
Speaker 1: back as the Breakfast Club, good Morning, Yet we're still
Speaker 1: kicking it with Donall Rawlings say special A New Day
Speaker 1: is out right now? Can I ask you a real question? No,
Speaker 1: when you got into the I said no. When you
Speaker 1: got into the the mild disagreement, why didn't you leave
Speaker 1: the first time? Why you kept leaving and coming back
Speaker 1: and leaving and coming back and leaving and coming back.
Speaker 4: First off, that day, I closed three shows. My name
Speaker 4: called went up there, destroyed the show. But also know
Speaker 4: that I had to make an announcement about my special,
Speaker 4: and I wanted to say something that was real. So
Speaker 4: I had the crowd up here. I could have said
Speaker 4: good night. I took it down and I explained what
Speaker 4: this special was meant to me, how it got here,
Speaker 4: and it was a very hard film. If you listened
Speaker 4: to that video, you could tell people's ride with me.
Speaker 2: I didn't have to. I ain't gotta get on standing though.
Speaker 4: Right there I said, I made my points, and I
Speaker 4: knew I was going to use this, so I thought
Speaker 4: that they was giving me the light. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 4: the last one. I would all my time, not knowing
Speaker 4: that anybody else was on the show that I thought
Speaker 4: I was closing.
Speaker 2: They also get you off the stage with the headline. No,
Speaker 2: they wasn't. Well, Corey was headlining, right, so I knew
Speaker 2: what off my time?
Speaker 4: So I'm leaving theod night, good night. And then they said,
Speaker 4: we got one more guests coming up from the thirty
Speaker 4: thirty podcast over a number of this yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: and they said blah blah blah, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: I want to listen to this.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And the reason why I want to listen to it,
Speaker 4: I had already wanted to talk to this guy why.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you why because I was fed up
Speaker 4: and like a lot of comedians, fed up with the
Speaker 4: antics of why everything that comes out your mouth has
Speaker 4: to be negative? And I wanted to have a conversation
Speaker 4: not just for me, but for the comedy community. Why
Speaker 4: is it that you always have to talk to about
Speaker 4: people and nobody asked you?
Speaker 1: But why do you let it bother you? Because you
Speaker 1: know we've been in those rooms. You know, I've seen
Speaker 1: you in a small venue and I've seen you in
Speaker 1: huge venues. I said, I've seen David. Why did you
Speaker 1: let what bother me? But why are you letting what
Speaker 1: he said bother you? Because you know what it is?
Speaker 2: You know you you don't know I'm sensitive. I'm sensitive.
Speaker 3: And then even with you, you know, outside of being sensitive,
Speaker 3: this is a person that always does this like all
Speaker 3: the time. You know what I'm saying, It's the same thing.
Speaker 3: And the only way that you can actually ever get
Speaker 3: to him, to talk to him, is if you pop
Speaker 3: up on him. Because even in my experience, I mean
Speaker 3: I'm talking about this person has talked about me years
Speaker 3: and years and years. Try to apologize through another comedian. Nah,
Speaker 3: I don't send me Dray to apologize to me. I
Speaker 3: want you to apologize to me as a mother because
Speaker 3: you said about my son.
Speaker 2: Then I had to call you. I'm talking about block
Speaker 2: my number out.
Speaker 3: To call you, and you answer the phone like who
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, and then you apologize, and
Speaker 3: then I would have never made those those comments about
Speaker 3: you had I knew you were a comedian. What what
Speaker 3: that got to do with me being on a meeting
Speaker 3: apologized before he has on the phone, and then later
Speaker 3: and later you get on that mic again, on on
Speaker 3: on the show whatever, on your podcast show, which is
Speaker 3: like the only thing you have. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: and you talk about me, and you talk about me,
Speaker 3: and you talk about so he cannot leave our names
Speaker 3: and the names of the greats and the name of
Speaker 3: the people that he cannot beat on a Netflix, on
Speaker 3: anything else, in any other realm out of his mouth.
Speaker 3: He can't do that. So that's all he has is
Speaker 3: that mic and that Dorna and in that cold corner,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 4: Without anybody being able to respond, without having an opinion
Speaker 4: of anybody. And here's the thing, whether you know or not,
Speaker 4: it was so many comedians that called me and said
Speaker 4: thank you. And going back to your question, is that
Speaker 4: I look at that question. I listen, Yes, you asked questions.
Speaker 4: Back to your point, is that him like I'm a
Speaker 4: good friend. People want to say all this, Well, even
Speaker 4: with that, he was like when I had a special
Speaker 4: or Dave Chappelle put him on. What you don't know
Speaker 4: is Netflix had already agreed to do a special with
Speaker 4: me produced by.
Speaker 12: Dave or not.
Speaker 2: So what what if they didn't put you on?
Speaker 4: So what you what I'm saying, I'm working, I'm answering
Speaker 4: like dumb questions, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Like, and this what people don't understand. And this is
Speaker 2: what the lawd came.
Speaker 5: They just handing out specials. That's the point. Are very
Speaker 5: deserving it.
Speaker 4: That's the point I'm making. But people don't understand that
Speaker 4: any success somebody get hard work. Whatever they want to say,
Speaker 4: you had to do so and so. So you dismissing
Speaker 4: work ethics, you're dismissing going hard, You're dismissing god thing
Speaker 4: you take.
Speaker 7: People.
Speaker 2: See, I'm not saying you know, I'm just saying this.
Speaker 2: It just makes sense.
Speaker 1: Just like if I wanted to do a podcast, right,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't I go to Charlemagne who has his own podcast? Right,
Speaker 1: that's my guy, and he's gonna hopefully look out the
Speaker 1: best interest. Even when I was doing my book, I
Speaker 1: called Charlamae to say, Yo, these are the terms for
Speaker 1: the book.
Speaker 2: What do you think he's done it before we can.
Speaker 1: Have the question?
Speaker 5: Could you and Corey ever get on the same page?
Speaker 5: I think him and just what different? Because what I
Speaker 5: need to get on talking about somebody's child is nothing.
Speaker 5: But could you will say this?
Speaker 1: He was for me?
Speaker 2: I respected him.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 4: Everybody don't agree with his style of comedy, and I've
Speaker 4: said this to people before. Again, I don't want to
Speaker 4: talk about it because there's the thing. I make a
Speaker 4: conversation seventeen minutes, all right, because somebody told me.
Speaker 2: We didn't have Now it's a mission. Have y'all spoke? No,
Speaker 2: I don't really have it nothing, I don't really.
Speaker 3: But then you have to understand something to this man
Speaker 3: doesn't respect his own family. You know, at some point
Speaker 3: it's like there's no making up with a person like this,
Speaker 3: there is no trying to understand to sit down like
Speaker 3: that type of person needs healing and therapy of his
Speaker 3: own I think that's.
Speaker 2: Why I said that prayer earlier. The thing is, there
Speaker 2: is no reason too for me to do it.
Speaker 4: I've already started with limited contact, always started with a
Speaker 4: mutual respect. But if you lose respect for me, I
Speaker 4: lose respect for you and even when I say what
Speaker 4: I said on stage.
Speaker 2: Now one time did I berate him? That one time?
Speaker 4: Did I say anything bad about his comedy? Now one
Speaker 4: time I say anything about his family? That one time
Speaker 4: I say anything bad about him. I explained to what
Speaker 4: I am. And I know that there's nobody gonna believe
Speaker 4: that I'm a mild comic. There's nobody gonna believe that
Speaker 4: I'm not.
Speaker 1: So you think, here's a.
Speaker 5: Lot of people that don't know what you're even talking about.
Speaker 5: Right now, That's what I'm saying, Like why he got this?
Speaker 5: You have a great special called a New Days on
Speaker 5: Netflix right now?
Speaker 2: Make it a new day done.
Speaker 4: Now, here's the thing this conversation there wasn't This conversation
Speaker 4: wasn't specific to one person. There was a conversation about
Speaker 4: this industry and have people move. And like you said,
Speaker 4: it's a new day, it's a new dawn. It's a
Speaker 4: new life for me. And I'm feeling good down there.
Speaker 4: Rawlins special it's still charging on Netflix, and I want
Speaker 4: to say, I appreciate.

Speaker 5: black soap opera yet?
Speaker 2: Soap opera seems so black. But it's eighty nine. But
Speaker 2: I can't even remember one before.
Speaker 19: What was that?
Speaker 1: What was the black soap opera?
Speaker 2: I never I don't remember. I grew up going to
Speaker 2: my grandma house Days of our Lives. That wasn't black. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: it wasn't black. It's never been a black one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm saying that I said nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty nine, that's the paper. I can't remember one. I
Speaker 2: don't remember.
Speaker 3: I don't either, But you know what I thought, Tyler Perry,

Speaker 3: Like what is the Oval? What is what is the
Speaker 3: Half and a half? Nots like that doing every day though?
Speaker 8: Right?

Speaker 3: and the Beautiful.
Speaker 2: Oh, they said it was called Generations. I don't remember
Speaker 2: that black soap opera.
Speaker 3: It came on two o'clock in the morning when everybody
Speaker 3: was sleep. So the last time a broadcaster launched the
Speaker 3: new soap opera was in nineteen ninety nine, NBC's Passions. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's what they said, Passions.

Speaker 2: Black Exactly Why would y'all say that? People just be lying? Well,
Speaker 2: it's considered a black soap opera. Why I don't know.
Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't have an air date. Or anything.
Speaker 2: But we should be we should look.
Speaker 3: Forward to this.
Speaker 5: Oh, it was the first soap opera feature of black
Speaker 5: family from its inception.
Speaker 2: But that's not a black soap. That's not that I
Speaker 2: don't make it a black so open. No, but I
Speaker 2: don't care.
Speaker 3: Tyler Perry with the have and the have nots and
Speaker 3: the oval, that should be considered it opera. You know
