Speaker 1: that at all? You know how I gauged that. I
Speaker 1: gauged that about how easy it is to get out
Speaker 1: of the driveway in the morning, and it was very
Speaker 1: easy breeze. Well, I got a plow company, but not
Speaker 1: a plow company had to come three times yesterday. It
Speaker 1: was that much snow. Yeah, it was a lot of snow.
Speaker 1: It was. It wasn't good for some people. It was

Speaker 1: somewhere this morning, this morning in the Long Island only
Speaker 1: though right, oh, I don't know. It just said more
Speaker 1: snow lightly the Long Island yet, but I know people
Speaker 1: for people traveling, it was a nightmare yesterday. But it's over,
Speaker 1: and I'm happy it's over, damn it. Because I was
Speaker 1: tired that I'm not gonna lie. I was tired of
Speaker 1: watching kitty movies and playing Monopoly. I must have played
Speaker 1: Monopoly nine times yesterday. I had three um Talent shows
Speaker 1: in my house and I watched Sung twice. Well, that's
Speaker 1: actually the best part of it. I mean the fact
Speaker 1: that when you're snowed and everybody, for whatever reason, you
Speaker 1: just feel so closer. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: Everybody just in the house around each other, keeping each
Speaker 1: other warm, I guess. But the only thing I don't
Speaker 1: like is to snacking. Man, because my wife and they
Speaker 1: get to like, they made cinnamon rolls yesterday. At cinnamon rolls? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they Why do you look at cinnamon rolls? I thought
Speaker 1: I made chocolate chip cookies and soft ones that. Man,
Speaker 1: I've got time for all that. Man, And then they
Speaker 1: just snacking all day long. And your ship, so you
Speaker 1: get caught up in the have it because you're just
Speaker 1: in the house and there's nothing else to do. Can
Speaker 1: you read, watch a little TV, eat some snacks like man,
Speaker 1: f that interestingly enough, my favorite thing to do when
Speaker 1: it's snowing is to actually go out. So we went
Speaker 1: out to eat. Because you can walk places in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: Stuff that's open. It's a great time to go and
Speaker 1: like be social and there were a lot of people
Speaker 1: in the restaurant. No. I mean when it's snow, I
Speaker 1: love to take the kids out of the yard and
Speaker 1: we just have fun place, you know, snowball fights, build
Speaker 1: a snow man, snow angels, do all loa corny stuff
Speaker 1: that the kids love. And I have a good time
Speaker 1: doing it. It's just when we get inside, I'm tired.
Speaker 1: Like I didn't see him Song at least twenty five times.
Speaker 1: Song is actually a great movie. It's great, but when
Speaker 1: you see it that many times, you're tired of it.
Speaker 1: I know what's going to happen the next part. I
Speaker 1: want to know how much May know how much money
Speaker 1: Mayo make some song? Because may mayno song million bucks?
Speaker 1: It's in sung, and I wonder how much he gets
Speaker 1: paid off. I feel sorry for to do this, something
Speaker 1: like he reminds me a lot of club promoters. I know,
Speaker 1: which the guy that had Yeah, you know, he's been
Speaker 1: trying to throw all these parties for years and none
Speaker 1: of them will pop off, right, and then he finally
Speaker 1: get one and he thinks he made it. Yeah in
Speaker 1: a movie, though it's a great movie. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: let's get the show cracking. Erica Alexander will be joining us.
Speaker 1: Who this means a lot because on Thursday Nights, I
Speaker 1: was raised Jehovah's witnessed. We used to have meeting on
Speaker 1: Thursday nights, so I would have to put the VHS
Speaker 1: tape in around six thirty seven o'clock before we would
Speaker 1: leave for the Kingdom Hall, just so I could catch
Speaker 1: Martin and Living Single on Fox. Right, all right? But
Speaker 1: she also played Pam from the Cosby Show, Remembered but
Speaker 1: Preparing from the Cosby So Maxine Shaw from and Living Single,
Speaker 1: Maxine Shaw, attorney at law. That's right, So Alexander, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be a throwback today. So we'll kick it with her.
Speaker 1: See what she's been up to in all that, and
Speaker 1: let's get the show cracking front page news. What we're
Speaker 1: talking about, Man, this is hard to watch our a
Speaker 1: man that was unarmed in his own backyard killed by
Speaker 1: the police. I mean, I was. It was actually just
Speaker 1: video of the audio. You can hear them telling him
Speaker 1: to show me your hand, show me your hands, and
Speaker 1: then you hear the gunshots. I'm not gonna play it
Speaker 1: this morning, but I'm telling you there's video that they
Speaker 1: released of that very sad and it's very, very very difficult.
Speaker 1: He had what two kids. Yeah, we'll get into that
Speaker 1: in front in this all right, we'll talk about it.
Speaker 1: Keep a lock this to Breakfast club. Good morning, and
Speaker 1: everybody is DJ Envy Angela, Ye, Charlomagne the guy we
Speaker 1: all the Breakfast club. Let's get two front page news.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this unknowned black man shot and killed. Yes,
Speaker 1: Sacramento police did release this video. It shows the moments
Speaker 1: that an unarmed man who was suspected of breaking three
Speaker 1: car windows was killed by the police. He was in
Speaker 1: his own backyard. Two cups actually killed him. Now, when
Speaker 1: you hear the nine one one call and then you
Speaker 1: hear the police responding. From the video that they did release,
Speaker 1: you can hear them yelling at him to put his
Speaker 1: hands up, and then you hear a lot of gunshots
Speaker 1: being fired, about twenty bullets. Now, his grandmother, Sequita Thompson,
Speaker 1: told the Sacramento b he was at the wrong place,
Speaker 1: at the wrong time, in his own backyard. Come on, now,
Speaker 1: they didn't have to do that. He did have two children.
Speaker 1: Say yeah, RP, it was Stephen Stephen Stephan Clark. I
Speaker 1: think step step Clark murdered in his own backyard free
Speaker 1: years old. Now, bodycam videos do show the cups running
Speaker 1: through the neighborhood ordering him to stop and show his
Speaker 1: hands as they close in on him in the backyard,
Speaker 1: and then one of them yells out, show me your hands. Gun.
Speaker 1: And then about four seconds later, I guess he had
Speaker 1: a cell phone on him, and they thought the cell phone,
Speaker 1: I guess, was a gun. Show me your hands, gun, gun, gun.
Speaker 1: And then that's when you hear the bullets, the twenty
Speaker 1: bullets in the span of two seconds being fired. Just
Speaker 1: like if you're a cop and you don't know the
Speaker 1: difference between a cell phone and the gun, maybe you
Speaker 1: don't need to be a cop man. And like they
Speaker 1: didn't give them no time at all, from the time
Speaker 1: they said put your hands up, from the time they
Speaker 1: started firing. The sad part. I mean, it was pitch
Speaker 1: black outside, but there's a certain protocol I thought, and
Speaker 1: maybe it was it was it was pitch black outside,
Speaker 1: but I thought that it's supposed to fire two or
Speaker 1: three times and then assess the situation. They fired twenty times.
Speaker 1: There was no other bullets coming back at them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was no bullets coming back at them. They just
Speaker 1: bla bla bla blah blah blah about like I'm kind
Speaker 1: of concerned and scared about protocol. And then they cut
Speaker 1: the mics off when they were talking, you know, basically
Speaker 1: said you know, hey, mute it, basically, and they turned
Speaker 1: their mics off because they messed up at that point.
Speaker 1: Exam they know they messed up that point. They wanted
Speaker 1: to turn the recording. Also, none of that can be
Speaker 1: held against them in the future. Absolutely, I think some
Speaker 1: people should not be allowed to make mistakes, man like
Speaker 1: cops surgeons. If it's a matter of life and death,
Speaker 1: you have to measure twice and cut ones. And I
Speaker 1: understand cops have a very very, very very tough job,
Speaker 1: but it's very tough just to be a black man
Speaker 1: in America as well. Okay, because I'm following protocol. You
Speaker 1: tell me throw my hands up, I throw my hands up.
Speaker 1: I got my hand, my phone in my hand, and
Speaker 1: you've ben taking my phone for a gun, and didn't
Speaker 1: you shoot me? Yeah, what do you want to do?
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta throw my phone on the ground
Speaker 1: now too. I gotta announce I got a phone. Do
Speaker 1: you have to do that? Dude? Should should is that
Speaker 1: proper protocol for black men in America shouldn't have to
Speaker 1: do that. But I mean, see it seems we do
Speaker 1: because they mistake things that we have in our hands
Speaker 1: for guns. So should I say, hey, I have a phone,
Speaker 1: Oh hey I have my wallet, trying to say something
Speaker 1: like that, just to make sure it's just super sad,
Speaker 1: because even even there is no even man, there is
Speaker 1: no even And like I said, the fact that they
Speaker 1: shot this man twenty times or shot twenty rounds, he
Speaker 1: didn't shoot back, and they just kept shooting. It has
Speaker 1: to be protocol, man. And and hopefully with these cameras
Speaker 1: they'll be convicted. No, no, if they can just press mute. Now,
Speaker 1: let's talk about this Austin baumber situation. Yes, Mark Anthony Kndit,
Speaker 1: he recorded a twenty five minute confession and killed himself
Speaker 1: in a final explosion. And we told you about this.
Speaker 1: He had been terrorizing with package bombings in Austin for weeks.
Speaker 1: He's twenty three years old and not recording. There was
Speaker 1: still no motives, so they don't know really the reason
Speaker 1: why what they did find in his cell phone was
Speaker 1: him describing the components of the seven bombs that he
Speaker 1: built and the one that he used to kill himself,
Speaker 1: authorities believe, and he detailed the differences among the bombs.
Speaker 1: He did not make any references that suggested that he
Speaker 1: was involved with terror groups or that the bombings were
Speaker 1: hate crimes or anything like that. They still don't understand
Speaker 1: why he did what he did. The cops get a
Speaker 1: chance to shoot him, or he didn't get close they
Speaker 1: got a chance to get close to him to shoot him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't care, because that's somebody who deserved to get shot. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well he blew himself up even better. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: last front page news. Get it off your chests eight
Speaker 1: on drink five eight five one on five one. If
Speaker 1: you're upset, you need to vent hit us up right now.
Speaker 1: Maybe he had a bad night, a horrible night, hated
Speaker 1: the snow, or maybe you just want to tell him
Speaker 1: why you blessed. Eight on drink five eight five one
Speaker 1: on five one. Get it off your chest. It's the
Speaker 1: breakfast club, God morning, the breakfast club. This is your
Speaker 1: time to get it off your chests. Whether you're man
Speaker 1: from you on the breakfast you got something on your mind. Hey,
Speaker 1: this is Joey. I'm just calling it about what you
Speaker 1: guys are talking about earlier about the black guys getting
Speaker 1: killed a shot like twenty times by the police, that
Speaker 1: like that's nothing new. I just want to know when
Speaker 1: are we as a people, as a black people gonna
Speaker 1: stand up and when are we gonna fight back? Because
Speaker 1: it's like we're protesting violence with peace and it's getting
Speaker 1: us nowhere, and then they tell us to give it
Speaker 1: to God, a god that they gave us. When are
Speaker 1: we going to realize that we are God that they're
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, destroy? What do you suggest, right?
Speaker 1: I realized, I suggest that we as a black stop
Speaker 1: saying if black lives matter, then it's time that black
Speaker 1: lives matter. If you know they're not saying black lives matter.
Speaker 1: If we're gonna stand up, let's stand up, let's do something.
Speaker 1: Let's stop talking about it. Let's stop getting mad that
Speaker 1: they're killing us. Of course they're killing us. Let's take
Speaker 1: what was rightfully stolen from us. Anyway, the people like,
Speaker 1: why are we dow bell to our old stuff? We're
Speaker 1: we're we do this, we do this, and then we're
Speaker 1: getting killed for it. It doesn't make sense. Have a
Speaker 1: good day, my love. Hello, who's this Hey, this is CC.

Speaker 1: Parks murder. I want to know when is enough enough?
Speaker 1: When when we're going to recognize that we need the
Speaker 1: escallation training and our and our police department. Right, I'm
Speaker 1: really upset that this hit along over two hundred plus
Speaker 1: murders the law enforcement. Yeah, I'm sitting there thinking, man,
Speaker 1: I hate when things like this happened because these are
Speaker 1: one these are those times why I really don't have
Speaker 1: any any bright ideas and so it's just like kind
Speaker 1: of frustrating. But I'm sitting there thinking, like, I know
Speaker 1: cops have other weapons, Maybe they should reach for that
Speaker 1: other weapon first, Like you don't always have to go
Speaker 1: right for the gun. The only problem with that is
Speaker 1: they'll always say I felt like my life was in
Speaker 1: danger and I had to protect myself. That that's that's
Speaker 1: what they'll always say. But in this case, it's just
Speaker 1: crazy because the man had a cell phone in his hand. Correct,
Speaker 1: But we also have behammed nor who murdered the Australian
Speaker 1: woman um and he he got charged with murderer. He
Speaker 1: got charged with your murder. That's why matter only when
Speaker 1: why not? True? Bird is born? Black cop killed off?
Speaker 1: He was black? Right? The guy he was black in
Speaker 1: the I mean a woman who was Australian heat the open.
Speaker 1: He got charged with full fledged murder. I wouldn't the
Speaker 1: hell do you see cops get charged with murder? Right? What? What? No?
Speaker 1: It was less than nothing, no coverage on that at all.
Speaker 1: It's just you know, it's like like it was supposed
Speaker 1: to be from he didn't he did wrong. He was
Speaker 1: supposed to he supposed to get charged for that. So
Speaker 1: now the expect for these officers now just to get
Speaker 1: off as usual. It's like a band aid, keep working
Speaker 1: it off. And they scared of us because we black,
Speaker 1: were scared of him because they cops. Oh, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a constant cycle of blood and murder until something,
Speaker 1: something breaks. Get it off your chests. Eight hundred five

Speaker 1: what he got excited about in her going off. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get into that when we come back. It's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. God morning, the Breakfast Club. It's time she's
Speaker 1: filling the tea. This is the rumor report with Angela
Speaker 1: Ye on the Breakfast Club. And before we get into that,
Speaker 1: we should pat ourselves on the back because Michael Blackton
Speaker 1: and George Raine have gotten back to together. They did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she actually sent me a little thank you mess. She posted,
Speaker 1: I agreed to dinner at my favorite restaurant and ten
Speaker 1: thousand dollars cash app and said I gotta all you
Speaker 1: can eat Buffett and a one hundred dollars Victoria's secret
Speaker 1: gift card. We'll see the Breakfast Club with all unorthodox
Speaker 1: ways we do make good. Positive things happen here you go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so now they are dating again and she did send
Speaker 1: a little thank you boo. But when y'all break up again,
Speaker 1: don't blame us for anything. We did our part, all right, now,
Speaker 1: tell us Swift sent concert tickets to amber Rose for
Speaker 1: her son for Sebastian, and he was super excited. Check
Speaker 1: out amber Rose giving those tickets to a baby bash.
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift sent that to you. Really, yeah, yeah, she
Speaker 1: did open it up. This is going to be solid time.
Speaker 1: And guess what what she gave us tickets to go
Speaker 1: see her in concert? Really yeah, oh my god, she
Speaker 1: shut me a letter. Yes see, thanks Taylor age tailor,
Speaker 1: thank you Taylor for this unseasoned chicken. Don't don't give
Speaker 1: your kids on seasoned Now. That's so dope, man, he's
Speaker 1: a Taylor Swift fan. That's a great thing, right, well,
Speaker 1: absolutely great. Apparently people started coming at her son for
Speaker 1: being excited about Taylor Swift tickets and I have no idea.
Speaker 1: So she went on a ranch. She said, shout out
Speaker 1: to all of the hyper masculine men and ignorant, dumbass
Speaker 1: women that will call a five year old gay for
Speaker 1: liking Taylor Swift. This is why young kids kill themselves,
Speaker 1: and this is also why our society is so fed up.
Speaker 1: Liking a certain type of music will not make you
Speaker 1: pick your sexuality, you dumb f's ps. My son just
Speaker 1: got accepted into the most prestigious private school in LA
Speaker 1: because he's smart at F and creative as F. Like
Speaker 1: his parents, we allow him to be himself. He can
Speaker 1: listen to whatever music he likes, he can like whatever
Speaker 1: color he wants, and we let him be passionate about
Speaker 1: whatever his little heart desires. We don't make our son
Speaker 1: lived by society norms. That's why he's so special. And
Speaker 1: she goes on to say regardless if he's gay or straight,
Speaker 1: when he gets older, he will be around the most amazing,
Speaker 1: loving people that will support him no matter what. He
Speaker 1: also has more money in his bank account than any
Speaker 1: of you trolls could even imagine. Well, I want to
Speaker 1: help you with this one amble. But see, I liked
Speaker 1: Taylor swift nineteen eighty nine album, and but people think
Speaker 1: I'm gay, So I'm not the best person to the
Speaker 1: chime in on this. But I can't. I can't say nothing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I will say, do you raise your kid? Lay?
Speaker 1: On social media? This era lives their lives trying to
Speaker 1: satisfy other people's demands, and we have learned to live
Speaker 1: about other people's points of view because of fear not
Speaker 1: being accepted. But f all that, do you raise your
Speaker 1: kid the way you want to end the story? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: He likes it. We love it. Man. Now Kanye would
Speaker 1: never get his kids tickets to see till Us. Now,
Speaker 1: that wouldn't happen. All right, Now, let's talk about Braxton
Speaker 1: family values. We told you yesterday that Tamar has not
Speaker 1: been wanting to promote the show because she doesn't like
Speaker 1: the way that Vince is portrayed on there. Well, Trina,
Speaker 1: Twana and Tracy Braxton said it's too bad. Don't be
Speaker 1: a hypocrite. Check it out. One of the crazy things
Speaker 1: is you can't talk about our relationships and think that
Speaker 1: it's okay, and then when it's reciprocated, it's supposed to
Speaker 1: be off limits. And besides, we're not the ones who
Speaker 1: put it a social media about her, you know, truculent
Speaker 1: relationship with her. It's strange. Husband. When Trina and I
Speaker 1: was going through our divorces, she had a lot to say,
Speaker 1: she had she made a lot of pinions. As a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, when Trina was talking about her divorce.
Speaker 1: He shouted, I just think that it's almost as if, Okay,
Speaker 1: I can do you, but you better not do me. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: I wish some of the stuff was scripted, but this
Speaker 1: is real life. She's absolutely right. You cannot say what
Speaker 1: you want about people are individuals and doing. When it
Speaker 1: comes back to you, you get upset. Absolutely, you just
Speaker 1: can't do it all. Right now, Kodak Black wants to
Speaker 1: get a ged while he is in prison, so he's
Speaker 1: going to progress his education. He requested a tutor to
Speaker 1: come visit him, and his legal team also requested he
Speaker 1: have access to a computer for his continued studies. So
Speaker 1: we'll see if the judge will allow that. They should
Speaker 1: allow it. The only problem is that they don't be
Speaker 1: respecting those prison certifications when they come home, like when
Speaker 1: they get the gds in prison, that they get the
Speaker 1: degrees in prison. They don't respect him when they come home.
Speaker 1: Right now, he was in solitary confinement, but he's out
Speaker 1: of there now. He had been sentenced to thirty days
Speaker 1: is in solitary after he went against the rules and
Speaker 1: made a three way call, but he is out now.
Speaker 1: I'm there. The whole point of jail should be correctional
Speaker 1: facilities for reil for real. They should let these kids
Speaker 1: go get education while they're in there. Let them get
Speaker 1: their their physical bodies back together, like, just make them
Speaker 1: better people so when they come into society they can contribute.
Speaker 1: They also got a one to do it, though they
Speaker 1: have to want to do it. I think they will.
Speaker 1: He requested it. When when you got the time, you
Speaker 1: will do You'll do that. And he's due back in
Speaker 1: court on May third for his two remaining charges from
Speaker 1: when he got arrested on January eighteen. All right, congratulations
Speaker 1: to my guy q Tip from a tribe called Quest.
Speaker 1: He did announce that he's going to be starting as
Speaker 1: a Miles Davis and Nelson George just play my funny Valentine.
Speaker 1: So congratulations to him dropping a clue bomb for q Tip. Dammit,
Speaker 1: I've just seen que Tip of a long time, his
Speaker 1: forehead big enough to play Miles Davis. They'll be fine.
Speaker 1: I actually went to dinner with que Tip last week.
Speaker 1: We've been talking about doing something. Really, how's he doing. Oh,
Speaker 1: he's doing great. A lot of things happening. But yes,
Speaker 1: he's gonna come up to the breakfast clubs. So I
Speaker 1: guess he'll be come up here to announce that, amongst
Speaker 1: other things that he's working on. All right, I'm Angela
Speaker 1: Yee and that is your rumor report, all right. Now,
Speaker 1: when we come back, Erica Alexander will be in the
Speaker 1: Maxine Shaw Attorney at Law, paying from the Cosby Show.
Speaker 1: If you was to Jehovah witness like me growing up,
Speaker 1: and you recorded Thursday Night programming, and you know about
Speaker 1: putting that VHS, taping that VC y'all around six thirty
Speaker 1: so it records tell about nine, then you understand why
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to see Erica Alexander this morning. Damn it.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk to her when we come back.
Speaker 1: Keep a lot just to Breakfast Club. Good morning, get somebody,
Speaker 1: get some money, and get somebody morning. Everybody is dj
Speaker 1: N V Angela Yee showing me and the guy we
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in
Speaker 1: the building. This is a very special guest. I know,
Speaker 1: as Pan, I know what you call her. I call
Speaker 1: her Maxine. He called her Maxie. I mean, I know
Speaker 1: her real name too, but I'm saying you call the
Speaker 1: Maxine from Living Single. Yes, but her real name is
Speaker 1: Erica Alexander. I answered to it all and thank you
Speaker 1: so much. It's a pleasure to be here. Yes, you
Speaker 1: don't understand what I had to go through on Thurday.
Speaker 1: Nice to see you. No, that wasn't Jehovah Witness growing up,
Speaker 1: so we used to go to the Kingdom Hall on
Speaker 1: Thursday night over the days of VHS tape, so I
Speaker 1: had to press record at like six o'clock, six thirty
Speaker 1: and make sure you got to four our tapes or
Speaker 1: just record everything. I think you you get a special
Speaker 1: medal for that. That's beautiful. You know. It was a
Speaker 1: funny thing because it was a different time and now
Speaker 1: that everyone has things streaming to them, they don't have
Speaker 1: to think about those things. But I never saw living
Speaker 1: single until we stopped taping. Really really no, because we worked.
Speaker 1: We filmed on Thursday night. That was our filming night.
Speaker 1: We did two shows that day. There was no dvday, right, no,
Speaker 1: so we'd either wait for them to you know, to
Speaker 1: come on. But the truth is we rarely saw ourselves.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a good here's the thing we didn't.
Speaker 1: You know, the critique is your your audience. Either they
Speaker 1: laughed or they didn't, and you sort of had the
Speaker 1: good feeling of it, and they would tell you where
Speaker 1: you're at. And frankly, for sitcom, you need the audience
Speaker 1: to tell you it's a back fourth and they are
Speaker 1: the fourth character in a sitcom. How many people teld
Speaker 1: you how many women were like I became a lawyer
Speaker 1: because of you, you know what, more than I feel
Speaker 1: I deserve. I mean, Marilyn Moseby, who's up in Baltimore,
Speaker 1: she said it Mary to Blasio and his wife Charlene
Speaker 1: mccraige really told him how yeah, how important it was
Speaker 1: to them. You know, you meet people and they say hello,
Speaker 1: and then they tell you something special like that, and
Speaker 1: then you realize that representation matters. And there I was
Speaker 1: and I hadn't gone to college. I still haven't, and
Speaker 1: I was being a lawyer, but just you know, graduated
Speaker 1: high school and kept working because my father passed, and
Speaker 1: you know, I just wanted to help my mother, And
Speaker 1: here I was helping people go to college and become lawyers.
Speaker 1: That's what we need more shows like that on TV.
Speaker 1: I know we have Blackish, but the reason I went
Speaker 1: to Hampton is because of human like it made me
Speaker 1: want to go to college exactly. Yes, I mean, and
Speaker 1: you know, and I watched Hillman and Whitley and all
Speaker 1: of them wanted to go to college and I was
Speaker 1: in there, but you know what, things don't always work
Speaker 1: out that way, and I was glad that I could
Speaker 1: help my family. There you go. And what happened though,
Speaker 1: because around that time black characters on prime time was
Speaker 1: so positive. Maxine was a lawyer, Different World had the
Speaker 1: kids college shows, a dooct in, a lawyer. But then
Speaker 1: it was just like, oh, let's flip the switch and
Speaker 1: show some negative representation. What happened. I don't know exactly
Speaker 1: what happened. I think racism happens. There's an institutional structured
Speaker 1: racism and bias and prejudice in people's minds. And I
Speaker 1: think even after the huge success of Cosby's show two
Speaker 1: seven Different Worlds, Yeah, Will Smith's show, there was no
Speaker 1: reason for them to to digress or go and divert
Speaker 1: themselves that that but that's exactly what happened. And you
Speaker 1: can only say that, you know, it's show business monitored
Speaker 1: by real people, and uh that not only did that happen,
Speaker 1: they segregated television. In fact, they got rid of mostly
Speaker 1: black cast shows from two thousand and two until like
Speaker 1: Shanda Rhime starts to show, there was you know, I
Speaker 1: want to I don't want to discount Bernie m Bernie
Speaker 1: Mac show. And then there was uh, Chris Rocks. Everybody,
Speaker 1: yeah Chris, but for the most part, just nothing. And
Speaker 1: it was a really hard time. And then suddenly the
Speaker 1: bottom dropped out of the market and people who aren't
Speaker 1: doing well, we're doing worse and losing their homes. And
Speaker 1: that happened to all of us, and it was fortunate.
Speaker 1: And then things start to turn. But it needed Seana
Speaker 1: Rhymes to do Gray's Anatomy and have power, and then
Speaker 1: to bring Carrie Washington and Viola Davis, you know, a
Speaker 1: different type of black lead. They said, lose Holmes. Was
Speaker 1: it that bad? Like was yeah, yeah, there's no doubt
Speaker 1: about it was that bad for me? You know, I
Speaker 1: could get better than most well, it was not that
Speaker 1: I would work and do guess spots and people would
Speaker 1: away often say, you know, we don't see you as much,
Speaker 1: and I said, you don't see me as much because
Speaker 1: there's very few parts, and the parts that we get
Speaker 1: they're not paying as much. They're paying so called top
Speaker 1: of show. They got this whole line that they would say, oh,
Speaker 1: you can can't get more than top of show. And
Speaker 1: if you were the more successful the show was, the
Speaker 1: less you would get paid. What has the less it
Speaker 1: matters that. Yes, yeah, no, it was unfortunate, and it's
Speaker 1: actually still in place. Did you hate reality show at
Speaker 1: that time because reality shows were taken everything in one time?
Speaker 1: You know, I think I did. I mean not not
Speaker 1: because they were just taking the place. I just thought
Speaker 1: it was poor representation of what black women were being
Speaker 1: able to do. And frankly, if you didn't fit in
Speaker 1: that mold, it was nothing you could do. I mean
Speaker 1: you sort of watched it, and you kind of I mean, look,
Speaker 1: it was like watching a train wreck. And I enjoyed
Speaker 1: it in that way because I actually didn't think it
Speaker 1: was real at first. Took me a long time to
Speaker 1: sort of get it. No, this is real, and yet
Speaker 1: it's not real. It's scripted reality. Yeah you remember, yes, yes, fascinating.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, so it's a whole time and
Speaker 1: we go back and we see the you know, you
Speaker 1: see the beginning in the fringes of this thing that's
Speaker 1: sort of encroaching, and you have no idea it's impact
Speaker 1: on the community, what it means for you, what it
Speaker 1: means for you, how people see you or perceive you.
Speaker 1: But then suddenly you're an auditions and there's the person
Speaker 1: that you see right opposite you for the same part,
Speaker 1: and you thought, well, are we the same type of person?
Speaker 1: They should have the right to go for those parts.
Speaker 1: But maybe they really don't know what I do if
Speaker 1: I'm in the same room with them, right. I really
Speaker 1: believe you when you say that it's systemic though, because
Speaker 1: you think about all the positive images we had on television,
Speaker 1: the ratings would add, the revenue was coming in. There
Speaker 1: was no reason to change it other than black people
Speaker 1: was getting small people were being influenced. Like you said,
Speaker 1: you wanted to go to college and other people wanted
Speaker 1: to be lawyers. That's the only reason. Yes, there's no
Speaker 1: other explanation for it. And that just shows you how
Speaker 1: deep and dark racism is and it's in our minds.
Speaker 1: And then there's a lot of you know, we have
Speaker 1: to take some of the blame too. A lot of
Speaker 1: those images we weren't force fed. We also you know, wrote,
Speaker 1: and when you got in those rooms, they often would
Speaker 1: only support the ones that played to the pathology or
Speaker 1: you know, there's the cartoonish version of us. Anything that
Speaker 1: was deeper that they maybe say Steve McQueen or somebody
Speaker 1: else might uh, pitch was immediately seen as being you
Speaker 1: know false. No nobody would ever watch that, and you know,
Speaker 1: forced us to do comic books to try to, you know,
Speaker 1: do proof of an idea, you know, and go in
Speaker 1: at a very low margin and just to try to
Speaker 1: talk about something and that would be more than in
Speaker 1: our heads. Now you did come in here bearing gifts
Speaker 1: for us. I did, I did. I did. Concrete Park
Speaker 1: was one of those ideas. At the time. My brother
Speaker 1: and my writing partner who was my husband then Tony Perrier,
Speaker 1: had an idea called Concrete Park, and we went around
Speaker 1: talking about it and we met this studio executive who,
Speaker 1: in the middle of our pitch stopped us and said,
Speaker 1: stopped it right there. He said, black people don't like
Speaker 1: sign fishing because they don't see themselves in the future.
Speaker 1: We looked at him, what, I don't tell me what
Speaker 1: black people like? I know? He imagine, right, you know,
Speaker 1: and and and and he went on told this whole
Speaker 1: story about it. But do you know, for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: that was his thing. Tony stopped and he said, well,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. For black people, the pass
Speaker 1: is painful, the present precarious, but the future is free.
Speaker 1: We always create in the future. That's why you have
Speaker 1: rock and roll and the blues and jazz. He says,
Speaker 1: we're the aliens that you took from across the ocean
Speaker 1: to rock your world and make your planets to l
Speaker 1: And by the way, there's Samuel Delaney, and there's Octavia Butler.
Speaker 1: And the number one star science fiction star in the
Speaker 1: world was Will Smith. He clearly didn't know what he
Speaker 1: was talking. But that's at the head of a studio
Speaker 1: to tell us that two black people who we thought
Speaker 1: knew better and hin oh no, no, that little him
Speaker 1: that said that, In fact, Jos, we need the suit
Speaker 1: called me to do Giles, which is a Buffy spin off. No,
Speaker 1: he's he's one of the good guys. He's one of
Speaker 1: the Avengers, you know. No, no, no, but who ever
Speaker 1: said that? You know, I'm going to dedicate a book
Speaker 1: to him one day, And but I'm saying it forced
Speaker 1: me to create a new skill set, and I think
Speaker 1: that that's good. I mean, and you get tired in
Speaker 1: this business, I've been doing this since I was fourteen.
Speaker 1: You find different ways to recreate yourself and be able
Speaker 1: to have a conversation that's beyond any one character or show.
Speaker 1: And you can't do it if you don't have the opportunities,
Speaker 1: or more importantly, if their day digitshon't exist. So we
Speaker 1: did the comic book again to just show people this
Speaker 1: is what will look like, and then we came out
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen. It was one of the best American comics,
Speaker 1: or said it was one of the best graphic novels
Speaker 1: in America. And we're still out there doing it. And
Speaker 1: now the world has changed, all right, we have more
Speaker 1: with Erica Alexander when we come back. You might know
Speaker 1: her from Pam as the Cosby Show or from a
Speaker 1: Living Single. To keep it locked, this the breakfast Clog
Speaker 1: Morning the Breakfast Club pointed, everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We have
Speaker 1: Erica Alexander in the building, of course, actress. She played
Speaker 1: Pam and the Cosby Show. She was also in the
Speaker 1: Living Single. Now, how did you get on the Cosby Show?
Speaker 1: That would have been just in between ninth and tenth grade,
Speaker 1: and just after twelfth grade, I went around the world
Speaker 1: with the Royal Shakespeare Theater and did the movie in Paris,
Speaker 1: came back, did a play at the Public Theater with
Speaker 1: Joseph Papp and Gloria Foster was his last play before
Speaker 1: he passed. And Camille Cosby saw me in that play
Speaker 1: and kept the story goes, kept telling Bill Cosby to
Speaker 1: come see not only Gloria Foster. And she was the
Speaker 1: woman in the matrix who says, have a cookie, you'll
Speaker 1: feel writer's reign. Blaight skinned woman. She said, you have
Speaker 1: to see Gloria and this little girl. And I was
Speaker 1: a girl she was talking about. I had already auditioned
Speaker 1: several times for the Cosby show, you should know that,
Speaker 1: and never got a role because you know, I was
Speaker 1: writing that great age group where I could have been
Speaker 1: Malcolm's girlfriend or tempest girlfriend or a Lisa Pooney's friend.
Speaker 1: But never they had they found a place. They kept saying, oh,
Speaker 1: we'll find a place for you. And by the way,
Speaker 1: back in the day, that was the only game in town.
Speaker 1: You know, there was no other place for a young
Speaker 1: person to be or audition, so yeah, or anybody black really,
Speaker 1: but young black person. There were really no shows. Maybe
Speaker 1: rose Anne had a few things that going on. But
Speaker 1: I got a call could you be at his house?
Speaker 1: And two hours and I showed up. The casting director
Speaker 1: was there and he told me to created a role
Speaker 1: for me. It was called cousin Pam. I remember when
Speaker 1: you first got on Collyby show back in the day.
Speaker 1: It was like you bought that hip hop badge to
Speaker 1: the show, and I was wondering, was that planned? Oh
Speaker 1: was that just you? Because at the time, hip hop
Speaker 1: was on the ride, so I didn't know if Kylie
Speaker 1: was trying to inject some hip hop flavors. He might have,
Speaker 1: but I think what happened. It's funny that they would
Speaker 1: choose me from Arizona to be hip hop and I think,
Speaker 1: you know, they just saw the dark skin, and you know,
Speaker 1: you say, oh that personal give us the other side
Speaker 1: of the tracks. The show was getting a lot of
Speaker 1: criticism for being unrelatable, and so I think he wanted
Speaker 1: to bring in another character who wasn't a high middle
Speaker 1: class age kid, who would show you know what it
Speaker 1: was like to live on the other side. He chose me.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a very tame version of that there
Speaker 1: was no way on the show you coming and be
Speaker 1: doing all that, and that wasn't his vibe. So but
Speaker 1: it seemed natural though, like it seemed to edgy for Cosby,
Speaker 1: like it was like, but I saw it. I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you want to us. I'm glad to say that unnatural.
Speaker 1: But the I was playing the part what was your
Speaker 1: best friend on the show? Yeah, that was lean on me,
Speaker 1: Charmaine Karamelina White. We and you know what, and think, God,
Speaker 1: they brought them not like that al pain because really
Speaker 1: they gave I don't really know if the writers knew
Speaker 1: what to do with cousin Pam, and I think it
Speaker 1: was kind of sort of given to them, like okay,
Speaker 1: now go And so when they gave me a posse
Speaker 1: to be with, it gave me a storyline because I
Speaker 1: sort of just would float around and be, hey, cousin Claire,
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Can I set the table? You know?
Speaker 1: Come on? Not real? So they gave me them and
Speaker 1: then we had something to do with everything going around
Speaker 1: with Cosby. Did you see any of that because I
Speaker 1: was just thinking about when we were talking, we were
Speaker 1: talking about black issh in high school. Cosby even as
Speaker 1: a father now, I do a lot of the stuff
Speaker 1: Cosby does back then, Like I remember having my daughter
Speaker 1: on my leg and I'm shaking her back and forth
Speaker 1: because I remember that from the show, even even the
Speaker 1: acting stuff that he did. Dad. I make my kids
Speaker 1: do acting things because he kind of raised me as
Speaker 1: a second dad. And maybe I deserve birts at all that. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's true. So did you see any of that? Nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with doing anything his character did his characteriscause that's true. Um, yes,
Speaker 1: for me, it would have been James Evans of Good
Speaker 1: Times because he was most like my father was hard.
Speaker 1: He would you you know, I was afraid of my father,
Speaker 1: that type of thing. Phil Cosby was like the best
Speaker 1: version of what a black black dad could be. He
Speaker 1: would talk to you, You would actually say what was
Speaker 1: going through your mind. And I don't let a lot
Speaker 1: of growing up, a lot of children didn't get talked to.
Speaker 1: They weren't seeing his individuals at autonomy. So he gave
Speaker 1: people autonomy psychologically. That was freeing for the black community
Speaker 1: to sort of say, there's a different way to relate
Speaker 1: to children. And yes, I saw that and I was
Speaker 1: very much influenced by it. Did you see this sinister energy.
Speaker 1: Even unfortunately I see, you know, he wasn't who all
Speaker 1: thought he was. And it was disappointing. And it's not
Speaker 1: only dreadful, it's painful. I think I saw things that
Speaker 1: I thought were cruel at the time, But I had
Speaker 1: also been raised in a cruel world, you know, I
Speaker 1: really had been, So you could you kind of talk
Speaker 1: yourself into things to say with it, you know, that's
Speaker 1: how adults are, you know. And at the time I
Speaker 1: was nineteen playing fifteen. You kind of take it. You
Speaker 1: kind of know in your heart that that's much more
Speaker 1: than you you would want to see. No, thank god,
Speaker 1: you know. And I don't have a me too moment.
Speaker 1: Both my mother and my sister were raped in life,
Speaker 1: so I take it very seriously allegations like that, but
Speaker 1: not me. Can you give us an example of what
Speaker 1: you considered cruel from well, you know, I think when
Speaker 1: you're the biggest star in the world and in the world,
Speaker 1: let's be clear, and he's not just creating television, he's
Speaker 1: creating musty TV. After a while, things like a thing,
Speaker 1: you get heady, it goes to your head. You forget yourself.
Speaker 1: And I said, you forget yourself, You forget that you have.
Speaker 1: You're representing not only you know the show when that,
Speaker 1: but you're representing you know, who people think you are. Right,
Speaker 1: So when you go in, I don't expect the person
Speaker 1: to be goody goody, but you do expect them to
Speaker 1: have some you know, decorum and some you know class
Speaker 1: about things, and sometimes it's just violating. You go, I
Speaker 1: just didn't expect that, and like I said, it probably
Speaker 1: would have been no more than what other people might
Speaker 1: have seen, you know, going to church. And then you know,
Speaker 1: the woman that you admire in church, you know, gets
Speaker 1: nasty and you go, what is that? But people, the
Speaker 1: way you desist people, the way you you know what
Speaker 1: I mean is it's it's it's it's like that. We'll
Speaker 1: always say the true test of a person's characters how
Speaker 1: they treat people who can't do nothing for them. Right there,
Speaker 1: you go, there's power, you know. Responsibility to power is
Speaker 1: how you treat people when no one's looking, when it's
Speaker 1: in the dark. And it's not that you know again,
Speaker 1: I think people who are in the limelight have a
Speaker 1: special burden. And often people will give you pass and
Speaker 1: say they can't always be you know, you have you
Speaker 1: have the right to be human. You don't have to
Speaker 1: be a role model. No, and you want more than that.
Speaker 1: You don't have to sit there and make everybody feel good.
Speaker 1: You can sit there and just say I just want
Speaker 1: to do you mind, thank you, and be by yourself.
Speaker 1: It's hard to get that space, and sometimes you get
Speaker 1: a little testy. That's important, but then again, you know
Speaker 1: it's part of the burden of what you have and
Speaker 1: no one can really understand it. That's not going through
Speaker 1: whether the great power comes great responsibility. Thank you love.
Speaker 1: I was trying to get that, but my mind, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go. And I think that's where you look
Speaker 1: at Dave Chappelle and people who had that you know
Speaker 1: thing happened and to sort of saying, hey, look I
Speaker 1: gotta go away. That's what they're dealing with. Now. Both
Speaker 1: of your parents were orphans. How did they meet? Uh, well,
Speaker 1: you know as orphans do in church. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: they're both their godfather or I should say like their
Speaker 1: godfather was the evangelist in town. He was the bishop.
Speaker 1: His name is Bishop WC. Griffin and he became the
Speaker 1: bishop of that north west half of America. Bishop Blade
Speaker 1: in La took over for him. I mean in a way,
Speaker 1: I'm from Church Royalty. If you look at it that way,
Speaker 1: I mean he was a really heavy dude. But then
Speaker 1: they were just in the dust bowl of New Mexico,
Speaker 1: and it was a very Southern Gothic existence. My mother
Speaker 1: and my grandmother was a witch. She died in witchcraft.
Speaker 1: My father started to preach and was ordained since he
Speaker 1: was six years of age. They said he was a
Speaker 1: special child that he literally would set on a porch
Speaker 1: and people would come up, and before he could even walk,
Speaker 1: he would stand up du scripture and then go back
Speaker 1: to plane. My father, who was prone to exaggeration and
Speaker 1: as to say straight up lying, would say some of
Speaker 1: these stories. But my mother, who is not said no
Speaker 1: Erica was very true. And they went around in a
Speaker 1: car and they would go on reservations or whatever they
Speaker 1: would call living people's garages, and he was a healer.
Speaker 1: They would bring him in and what would happen. There
Speaker 1: would be a few people in the audience. At first
Speaker 1: they would pitch a ten, and then he would pray
Speaker 1: do something, and then everybody would heal. Everybody would hear
Speaker 1: about a person who was healed, who they knew their
Speaker 1: whole life had some ailment or sickness. And then the
Speaker 1: next night there would be tons of people overflowing Indian, Mexican, white,
Speaker 1: black to see this young healer. That was my dad
Speaker 1: and that's your dad. Right. Nobody could heal him. You know,
Speaker 1: it's funny. He died. They gave him a church in
Speaker 1: East New York. Um and uh he before he died,
Speaker 1: I made some peace with him because he wasn't the
Speaker 1: kindest person. And he said he wished that um, that
Speaker 1: God had healed him. And he always wondered why sorry,
Speaker 1: and I wondered too. All right, well we have more
Speaker 1: with Erica Alexander when we come back. Don't move. It's
Speaker 1: the breakfast club. Good morning morning. Everybody is dj N
Speaker 1: v Angela Ye, Charlomagne the God. We are the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: We have Erica Alexander in the building. You might know
Speaker 1: her from living single or paying from the co as
Speaker 1: we show. Charlemagne, you said so much that I wanted
Speaker 1: to distrut you aunt being a witch. Yeah, my my
Speaker 1: my grandmother, his mother was a witch. Well she would
Speaker 1: go listen. She had a restaurant. You know, Black people
Speaker 1: would do so many things catering and all that. So
Speaker 1: back in the day, you really didn't have a life job.
Speaker 1: He would do things. And she had a um, a
Speaker 1: little cafe, you know, a hole in the wall, and
Speaker 1: she would put dust over the door so when people
Speaker 1: came in, the bell would ring and dust would fall. Yes,
Speaker 1: they called a goof for dust. Well, right across the
Speaker 1: street was her competitor, and they would have goof for
Speaker 1: us too. So she would go back and forth to
Speaker 1: down deep south South like you know where you're from,
Speaker 1: you know, and go get stronger and stronger um for us. Well,
Speaker 1: one time she came back and she by the way,
Speaker 1: she would just leave my father, so he would just
Speaker 1: be on the streets. One time she came back and
Speaker 1: Mexican family took him in and he didn't even remember English,
Speaker 1: and they they begged her to let him stay, stay please,
Speaker 1: Robert Day called him Roberto, and she took him um.
Speaker 1: But she came back and they said she was all
Speaker 1: twisted up with her head in between her legs, barking
Speaker 1: like a dog. And they said that the women in
Speaker 1: the church went to go get my eventual godfather, which
Speaker 1: was William Griffith, and he came saw it. He left
Speaker 1: three days he went and uh they fast and they pray,
Speaker 1: and then they come back and then they laid hands
Speaker 1: on her and they got her through it. And this
Speaker 1: is a story now, and I'm just telling me what
Speaker 1: they gotta do it. And when he came, she came
Speaker 1: out of it. He says, daughter, the Lord told me
Speaker 1: to tell you that if you go back, you'll you'll
Speaker 1: you'll come back. You'll come back in a box. No, no, rev,
Speaker 1: I promise, I gave this up. I'm not gonna get
Speaker 1: she said. I'm just telling you what the Lord told
Speaker 1: you told me to tell you. And my father's last
Speaker 1: memory of his mother is him is her getting in
Speaker 1: a car, a red Cadillac because her boyfriend's name was Red.
Speaker 1: He would just drive through and take her away. And
Speaker 1: I'm begging her, please, Mom, don't go, don't go. Don't worry, Robert.
Speaker 1: I'll be back in Two weeks later, they brought her
Speaker 1: home in a box. Damn it. Have you ever wanted
Speaker 1: to put a little dust on somebody, like when when
Speaker 1: friends stole the idea for living single? Did you want
Speaker 1: to throw any dust on that? Yeah, that would be nice.
Speaker 1: I wish I had some dust. I put a lot
Speaker 1: of dust on people. Yes, you know, put a little
Speaker 1: over the White House door. Uh, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know everybody. By the way, when he made them
Speaker 1: comments about Haiti being a whole country, I was like,
Speaker 1: somebody gonna catch him. I heard you see that. Somebody
Speaker 1: gonna get there. Tell you're right. I didn't think about it,
Speaker 1: didn't get close to him yet. That's all already happening. Yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: that's that's in the coming. He made that happen. They
Speaker 1: just probably you know speed, you know, forcing it through
Speaker 1: like fewl What do you think about all these reboots
Speaker 1: they're doing just to shift gears for a second of
Speaker 1: television shows? Are you into it? Are you thinking, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'd love to see Martin or The Fresh Prince or
Speaker 1: Living Single or anything like that reboots. Well, I don't know, Angela. Listen,
Speaker 1: here's what I think. I think it's great. People are
Speaker 1: nostalgic for, you know, things in the past. Maybe for
Speaker 1: a good reason it happens. But for me, I always
Speaker 1: try to be honest and said, if my film and
Speaker 1: television career had been a lot better, I might not
Speaker 1: have any problem to being my toe back into that
Speaker 1: water and going in doing Max and Max character. But
Speaker 1: for me, life is so time is so fine that
Speaker 1: you have so little time. I think I just want
Speaker 1: to see if I can do other things and see,
Speaker 1: you know, if I can get people as happy for
Speaker 1: me or you know, into a different character or in
Speaker 1: a different way. So I mean, that's my goal now.
Speaker 1: Never say never. I enjoyed them. And this wouldn't be
Speaker 1: because I didn't have a good time, just a matter
Speaker 1: of you know, I just I just know that maybe
Speaker 1: because my I do come from orphans and my father
Speaker 1: did pass that you don't get tomorrow today? Is it?
Speaker 1: Is it true to the character of Max and Shaw
Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to be a regular. No, I'm supposed to
Speaker 1: come in every now and then. She was, and that's
Speaker 1: why you she all based saw her. The good news
Speaker 1: is that she was the only one who could afford
Speaker 1: her own apartment, which I really liked. She was really nice, exactly,
Speaker 1: but she ate other people's food so that help offset
Speaker 1: it costs. But no, I was supposed to coming every
Speaker 1: now and then. And it turned out that they saw
Speaker 1: in the pilot that the audience really liked the ensemble,
Speaker 1: and I didn't know that, you know, and it would
Speaker 1: have mattered to me. I'm used to being an ensemble players,
Speaker 1: so if I had coming every now and then, then
Speaker 1: that would have been the gig. But it just worked
Speaker 1: out that they knew what they had and they wrote
Speaker 1: toward that because the show was built around him and
Speaker 1: Latifa right exactly. Fatifa and Kim had a deal. I
Speaker 1: think they even had the same agent. They had the
Speaker 1: same agent, I think as event Lee Bowser, who created
Speaker 1: the show, and I think they put it together as
Speaker 1: a package. I don't know if Kim Fields did, but
Speaker 1: I was like TC and I were the last two
Speaker 1: people they added. Born on the same day we met
Speaker 1: in a hotel. We had auditioned for it, and I
Speaker 1: guess one day or two days after y'all one the
Speaker 1: day after they cast us. There we were doing in
Speaker 1: the table reading and we were up on our feet.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about Friends ripping off Living Single?
Speaker 1: And wasn't true that Living Single was supposed to be
Speaker 1: named Friends? Yes? Really, Well, they came well, we would
Speaker 1: call my Girl when we first my Girls, when we
Speaker 1: first did our pilot and the uh it didn't test well,
Speaker 1: you know how they test things. So they came down
Speaker 1: and we were now filming the actual series and one
Speaker 1: of the executives had a whole list of names, three
Speaker 1: or four or five of them, and he read them
Speaker 1: out and it was living single friends blah blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah. And they chose living
Speaker 1: single for us. And then the next year they created friends. Oh,
Speaker 1: the same people that had the same people were Warner
Speaker 1: Brothers on the ranch lot, and they were on the
Speaker 1: big lot. We called the ranch the ghetto lots. We
Speaker 1: had nothing on that lot. We actually had no air
Speaker 1: conditioning or heat. We had to walk out because we
Speaker 1: had our craft. Service table was basically rice with Tabasco
Speaker 1: sauce and rich crackers, you know. And you know, I
Speaker 1: just come from Cosby Show. I didn't expect them to
Speaker 1: have a spread like that. That's what you get when
Speaker 1: you're number one in your market and all that. But
Speaker 1: I did expect us to have some kind of you know, protein, Yeah,
Speaker 1: can we have Yeah, we have a piece of hams.
Speaker 1: So no, that's that's so, that's what's happened with Friends. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And you know, and at the end of our run,
Speaker 1: we were paid being paid a lot less and people
Speaker 1: would say, well, you had a smaller market share I said,
Speaker 1: compared to what you know, comparatively, yes, but you know,
Speaker 1: if you think about how much they made paying us
Speaker 1: so little, and how much they made a syndication all
Speaker 1: around the world all these years. Uh, get the goddamn
Speaker 1: goofy dust could do. Thank you, Get the Gooper ducts.
Speaker 1: Get the goop for ducts because Goofy Yeah, got two
Speaker 1: point five million dollars to our fifty five thousand dollars
Speaker 1: at our our like our, the whole cast, no per
Speaker 1: per episode. That sounds like a lot of money, and
Speaker 1: it is. Then you know, if you two point five
Speaker 1: million per episode for them, no, no for our you know,
Speaker 1: like my salary five thousand dollars per week, okay, twenty
Speaker 1: six shows, but if you were friends two point five
Speaker 1: million dollars per week per week, that's a crazy person.
Speaker 1: We did it have anything to do with the network,
Speaker 1: the NBC, if they weren't NBC and we were on Fox,
Speaker 1: it does I mean, you know Fox that just wasn't
Speaker 1: considered a network. Then it got a lot of breaks
Speaker 1: to become a network. But also what happened is that
Speaker 1: you're again you're seeing the fact that we didn't get
Speaker 1: the marketing we didn't get to play. There were a
Speaker 1: lot of things that are in place to keep to
Speaker 1: hold down and and make you not feel as valuable.
Speaker 1: But if you but I'm sure if they looked and
Speaker 1: scaled and you know, looked at it and how much
Speaker 1: they made versus what they put in, I'm sure we're
Speaker 1: on part off, not way beyond what they made. I
Speaker 1: can't name one person off Friends, I'm fully aware with
Speaker 1: a huge show. Jennifer Aniston was going Friends. I don't
Speaker 1: know she was. She was on Friends? What joy lawns
Speaker 1: on there? I don't know. All white people look like
Speaker 1: the money. Oh, miss Eric Alexander, this has been a pleasure,
Speaker 1: so much company. We are looking for people. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: looking for you. And thank you so much for all
Speaker 1: that you do, because you have to know, I watch
Speaker 1: all your shows. Thank you. I mean no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. I learned so much and I really am
Speaker 1: fascinated about how you get to be young people of
Speaker 1: color here and talk to people about things current events
Speaker 1: and also be kind of you know, digging and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. It's really a sharp you know, to be sharp,
Speaker 1: and you have to be on it all the time.
Speaker 1: And I'm not earnest I think them. It's more, it's
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. It's not not something that ever happened
Speaker 1: while I was growing up. You know that means a lot.

Speaker 1: My spirit is full. After talking to miss Erica this morning,
Speaker 1: that full interview will be up on Breakfast Club you

Speaker 1: All interviews get the same in money a time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they all get the same air full interview will be
Speaker 1: online later. All right, Well, let's get to the rooms.
Speaker 1: Let's find out what artists got robbed at the studio.
Speaker 1: It's about this is the rumor report. Angela Yee found
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Well, this was unfortunate. Young Berg who's
Speaker 1: now hit maker, and A One Bentley from Love and
Speaker 1: Hip Hop Hollywood. They were in the studio together. They
Speaker 1: were on Instagram Live. I guess A One had Lerica's
Speaker 1: phone and he was on her Instagram live. And that's
Speaker 1: when you hear some men enter the room screaming put
Speaker 1: that camera down. The scene then cuts and when it
Speaker 1: comes back, A One is running around the studio seeing
Speaker 1: did anybody see the men who ran up with the
Speaker 1: guns drawn? Check it out, bro, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. N we aren't you here with a gun? Money?
Speaker 1: So who got rob seemed like young Bird, Yeah, Young
Speaker 1: Burg and a one, I guess, And that's what they
Speaker 1: were showing their jewelry and stuff like that while they're
Speaker 1: on live from the studio and that kind of Well,
Speaker 1: anybody can get robbed, anybody can't, then they shouldn't be
Speaker 1: getting not in the studio. That should be locked down
Speaker 1: in a place where they can feel like they can
Speaker 1: work and be safe. I didn't Young Burg was still
Speaker 1: to the hip hop pin YadA. It was a point
Speaker 1: in time when Young Burg with the hip hop Pinyada,
Speaker 1: like people were hitting him up and like chains was
Speaker 1: falling out money. They was getting a lot often. But
Speaker 1: I didn't know he was still doing that. The Young Burg, well,
Speaker 1: ay one is planning to sue the studio. He believes
Speaker 1: that it was an inside job. So they said an
Speaker 1: intern had actually been in the studio. When the intern left,
Speaker 1: they propped the door open, and after one minute or
Speaker 1: so after the intern left, that's when the men came
Speaker 1: in with the gun. So they believed that it was
Speaker 1: a setup. What they happened at was city, I'm sure, La, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure where they were, but yes, so all
Speaker 1: of that is online because he asked him He was like,
Speaker 1: did he hit you with the gun? Yes? Yeah, all
Speaker 1: right XXXTN. Tasian has asked to be let off house arrest,
Speaker 1: and the judge has just granted that. That was because
Speaker 1: they said the last few months, these would be his
Speaker 1: first steps toward complete freedom. He's going to submit to
Speaker 1: monthly drug tests and report his travel as well. So
Speaker 1: now he wants to be able to work and make
Speaker 1: some money. So he wants to a buye by the
Speaker 1: same probation terms he was subject to prior to his
Speaker 1: most recent charges in the domestic violence case. So now
Speaker 1: he's happening with those charges. Did he ever get found guilty?
Speaker 1: I think he's still appending. That's why he was on
Speaker 1: house to rest, and he still has to go to
Speaker 1: court and everything. So we'll see what happens all right now.
Speaker 1: When Tory Lanes was up here on the Breakfast Club,
Speaker 1: he talked about almost having Nicki Minaj on the album
Speaker 1: on the song Shooters. Here's what he said. Yeah, Nicky
Speaker 1: was on Shooters. She did an incredible verse and I
Speaker 1: was asking her something about like the verse, about changing
Speaker 1: something around because of where it placed the hook at
Speaker 1: because we were talking over texts and I think like
Speaker 1: through the text, it kind of just came off the
Speaker 1: wrong way. Um, and I think she just she she
Speaker 1: just didn't um, she wasn't really rocking with it, and
Speaker 1: she was just like, you know, she didn't take my
Speaker 1: verse off the song. All right, Well, now that verse
Speaker 1: has surface. I love that record. By the way, Shooters, Yes,
Speaker 1: the song Shooters. Here is Nikki's verse. I say, some
Speaker 1: murdle got enough to pay for all my bitches, shout
Speaker 1: the intro down to all my bitches. I came, man,
Speaker 1: I just pulled it off the lot. I ain't talking
Speaker 1: bound Bowlder want a shot. I ain't te a rock
Speaker 1: like the Pirates and the Fats. Tell me if you
Speaker 1: coup and turns his backup, says, you man, it could
Speaker 1: have been she should have rapped. We should have been
Speaker 1: a harder. I like it. I think she should have rapped.
Speaker 1: I mean, the chicken part where she stole off singing
Speaker 1: was cool. But I want to hear rap yeah, rapp
Speaker 1: That that sounds hard. Just asked for another editional verse maybe,
Speaker 1: but I liked it. I don't know. That's just me,
Speaker 1: all right, Tina Turner, she has forgiven Ike Turner. Now
Speaker 1: we all know that what's love got to do with
Speaker 1: its story? When Tina tournament Ike Turner, she was only
Speaker 1: sixteen years old, they got married and he was constantly
Speaker 1: slapping her. He admits to punching her to the ground
Speaker 1: without thinking, but he says he never beat her. Isn't
Speaker 1: that beating? Someone said what? He says that he did
Speaker 1: slap her and punched her to the ground without thinking,
Speaker 1: but he said he never beat her. Well, you can
Speaker 1: forgive him, Tina. Okay, we've seen the movie. I was
Speaker 1: watching that movie this weekend. I watched it every time.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite movie, absolutely, and and And the
Speaker 1: older you get and you see what I was doing
Speaker 1: the team and your cringe even more. So, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe you want to forgive him. We don't got to forgive. Well,
Speaker 1: she said, as an old person, I had forgiven him,
Speaker 1: but I would not work with him. He has asked
Speaker 1: for one more tour with me, and I said absolutely not.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, I'm still alive. Yes, I guess so
Speaker 1: I thought i'd turned to die. I swear I thought
Speaker 1: like tenor did No? I think he's still alive. Isn't
Speaker 1: he still alive? If he's asking for a tour? I'm
Speaker 1: sure he's alive. Somebody google that to just to make sure.
Speaker 1: God damn it. I actually saw him one time when
Speaker 1: I was at the Grammys. He was outside the Grammys
Speaker 1: one year anyway, she said, he bro this says he
Speaker 1: died talking about I. Was he asking for a tour it?
Speaker 1: I don't know, y'all just be saying anything on this
Speaker 1: damn show. Well, she said it. She said, as an
Speaker 1: old person, I'd forgiven him, but it would not work
Speaker 1: with him. He asked for one more tour with me,
Speaker 1: and I said, no, absolutely not. This isn't the time
Speaker 1: one more tour before She said, Ike wasn't someone you
Speaker 1: could forgive and allow him back in. And she said,
Speaker 1: it's all gone off, forgotten. I don't know what there
Speaker 1: are about. The dreams are still there, not the violence,
Speaker 1: the anger. I wonder if I'm still holding something in. Yeah, listen,
Speaker 1: I don't even know how accurate that movie was, but
Speaker 1: that movie was even fifty percent as accurate as it
Speaker 1: was in real life. Yeah, you ain't gonna never forgive
Speaker 1: that man, especially when it rains and he so crazy. Think.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I mean, I guess you
Speaker 1: forgive for your own self to let it go, but
Speaker 1: you never ever forget and never move on and never
Speaker 1: ever associate with that person again. The water part of
Speaker 1: that movie, one of the water spottle and he was
Speaker 1: trying to make eat the cake in the restaurant anime.
Speaker 1: But he didn't just beat up anime in that restaurant.
Speaker 1: He beat up he slapped another chick in that restaurant too,
Speaker 1: and then just sat down like it was nothing, and
Speaker 1: nobody called the police or anything. Ike was crazy. All right,
Speaker 1: Well I'm angela yee and that is your rumor report.
Speaker 1: My goodness, all right, thank you, miss Charlemagne. Yes, so
Speaker 1: giving that Donkey Donkey it did, going to the police
Speaker 1: officers and Sacramento who murdered twenty two year old Stefan
Speaker 1: Clock And and you know, I I'm just doing it
Speaker 1: to talk about it and get it off on chest
Speaker 1: because I really don't have any answers, any solutions. All right, nothing,
Speaker 1: Let's just talk for a second, all right, We'll do
Speaker 1: that when we come back. Keep a lot just to
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, Good Morning. I was born in Donkey. It's
Speaker 1: the Donkey of the death charmina Devil Breakfast Club Donkey
Speaker 1: Today for Thursday, March twenty second goes to the police
Speaker 1: officers in Sacramento who murdered twenty two year old Stefan
Speaker 1: Clocks rest in pieces. Stefan Stefan was in the backyard
Speaker 1: of the home he shared with his grandparents and some
Speaker 1: of his siblings when he was shot and killed. Let's
Speaker 1: go to CBS News for the report police police shooting
Speaker 1: death of a Sacramental man over the weekend. Police confirmed
Speaker 1: they fired at Stephen Clark twenty times. According to police,
Speaker 1: Stefan Clark was breaking car windows and a home glass
Speaker 1: door in South Sacramento when confronted by police in his
Speaker 1: grandparents backyard. Police say he extended his arms with something
Speaker 1: in his hands. Faring for their safety's officers fired their
Speaker 1: duty weapons, striking the subject multiple times. Clark was killed
Speaker 1: only a cell phone recovered at the scene. An oversight
Speaker 1: committee will review the investigation. Now, there were two officers
Speaker 1: at the scene that night that fired the weapons ten
Speaker 1: times each. Listen, man, my name is Charlemagne, that God.
Speaker 1: I've never been in the b s and the listening audience.
Speaker 1: I have told you all time and time again that
Speaker 1: I am not an expert of anything. I'm just a
Speaker 1: man who has lived almost forty years on this planet,
Speaker 1: and I have some experiences, and I share my experiences.
Speaker 1: If you learn from them, great, If you don't, that's
Speaker 1: cool too. I'm saying all that to say, don't look
Speaker 1: for me to say anything in this donkey at the
Speaker 1: day that will remotely sounded like a solution. When it
Speaker 1: comes to the killing of unknowned black men in this
Speaker 1: country at the hands of the police, I don't have
Speaker 1: one bright idea. Now you hit this story and you're saying, well,
Speaker 1: why was Stephan Clark breaking car windows while I was
Speaker 1: he running? All those questions or deflections from well, why
Speaker 1: did the cops shoot an unknowned black man twenty times? Okay,
Speaker 1: he was running because he was scared. He was scared
Speaker 1: because he committed a crime, and he was scared because
Speaker 1: the cops came. And when you are a black man
Speaker 1: in America, you aren't just running from the cops because
Speaker 1: you committed the crime. You aren't running from cops because
Speaker 1: you fear for your life. And he probably thought to himself,
Speaker 1: I'm close to home. Home is truly where the heart is.
Speaker 1: Your own backyard is where you're supposed to feel the
Speaker 1: most comfortable. Since the farm probably thought let me get
Speaker 1: home and then I'll surrender. It probably felt like a
Speaker 1: safe space for him to surrender to the police, but
Speaker 1: a little stefano that the cops he was dealing with
Speaker 1: couldn't tell a gun from a cell phone, which always
Speaker 1: seems to be the case when a black man is involved.
Speaker 1: If you have a cell phone in your hand and
Speaker 1: you know your black cops see a gun. If you
Speaker 1: have a remote control in your hand and your black
Speaker 1: cops see a gun. If you are holding a large
Speaker 1: couple of lemonade from Chick fil A in your hand
Speaker 1: and you are black, cops will see a gun. So
Speaker 1: I don't have any answers on how to avoid getting
Speaker 1: shot by police. It's really the luck of the draw
Speaker 1: And I don't even believe in luck. I just know
Speaker 1: that if a cop draws his gun and you're a
Speaker 1: black man, you're lucky you don't get shot. Okay, I mean,
Speaker 1: these kids who shoot up these schools always just get
Speaker 1: arrested for some strange reason. Black man committing petty crimes
Speaker 1: like breaking car windows sparks more fear and a police
Speaker 1: officer than a white kid who shoots and kills dozens
Speaker 1: of people. Look, I don't know. Okay, I have not
Speaker 1: a clue what to say, all what to do about
Speaker 1: any of this anymore. I can't stop being black, and
Speaker 1: I don't want to. Okay, there's a lot of fun,
Speaker 1: all right. It's a fun anxiety field experience being in
Speaker 1: this melan and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Speaker 1: I just don't understand why people, including law enforcement, are
Speaker 1: so terrified of it. Okay, the cycle has to break,
Speaker 1: and it has to break soon. Cops are scared of
Speaker 1: black and brown people. Black and brown people are scared
Speaker 1: of scared of the cops. Only difference is we don't
Speaker 1: have the license to kill that cops too. Okay, Civilians
Speaker 1: can't gun down a cop and use the excuse I
Speaker 1: was afraid for my life. I feared for my safety
Speaker 1: even though we are But cops can gun us down
Speaker 1: when all we are doing is holding a cell phone
Speaker 1: and say they fear for their lives. They fit for
Speaker 1: their safety. So I understand your fear. But nah, man, cops,
Speaker 1: you have all the power in these situations. Okay, As
Speaker 1: a black man in America, when we are in these
Speaker 1: positions where it's us against the cops, the cops are
Speaker 1: truly than those with all Infinity stones at their disposal.
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna play the audio of Stefan Clark being
Speaker 1: gunned down and murdered by the police and Sacramento because
Speaker 1: all I can think to do in these situations is
Speaker 1: address the problem, because I have no solutions. And maybe
Speaker 1: addressing the problem will lead to some solutions from somebody,
Speaker 1: but they won't beat me. Let's listen to twenty two
Speaker 1: year old step from Clark's last moments on this earth.
Speaker 1: Good shoot step by some something shows good again? Five
Speaker 1: seven shots fire stuff, set down, show hands, see your heads,
Speaker 1: five seventies down, No movement. We're gonna be additional units.
Speaker 1: We can't see the gun. Hey, can you hear us?
Speaker 1: You can hear us, can hear us? We need to gore. Okay,
Speaker 1: we need to get you medics, so we can't go
Speaker 1: over there and get your help. We're gonna need your stuff,
Speaker 1: rescue mass the CPR. Of course you can't and see
Speaker 1: the gun. How can you see what doesn't exist? And
Speaker 1: I hate when they call CPR and stuff. You just
Speaker 1: fired twenty rounds CPR for what. Don't act like you
Speaker 1: care about my life after you fired twenty rounds? Asking
Speaker 1: someone if they're okay after you fired twenty rounds and
Speaker 1: they're not moving. I don't know, man, maybe they've been
Speaker 1: watching too much Luke Cage on Netflix and they really
Speaker 1: think black people are bulletproof. Okay, I have zero answers.
Speaker 1: All right. I'm at the point in my life where
Speaker 1: I think they just asked us to put our hands
Speaker 1: up so they can get a clear shot at our chest. Okay.
Speaker 1: And when a cop ask you to put your hands up,
Speaker 1: that's something you have to think about too, because I
Speaker 1: really don't want to make any sudden movements. It's just
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just frustrating, to say the least,
Speaker 1: and that's really saying the least. Okay, his poor family,
Speaker 1: all right, Peter Stephan Clark, and please give the cops
Speaker 1: in Sacramento who murdered this young man the biggest. He
Speaker 1: are very sad. What I don't understand. As well as
Speaker 1: I thought there was a protoco hall for a police shooting.
Speaker 1: I thought, at least there was a protocol if they shot,
Speaker 1: they shot three times and then assessed the situation. But
Speaker 1: they shot twenty times. There was no there was no
Speaker 1: shooting back. I think three times it's too much it's
Speaker 1: just crazy fire one and shot and that's that. All right,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, well thank you for that dog
Speaker 1: here today. Up next ask ye eight hundred five eight
Speaker 1: five one on five one. If you've got relationship advice
Speaker 1: and need any type of advice, you can call ye
Speaker 1: right now phone lines to a wide open eight hundred

Speaker 1: question for you? Um? I caught my my wife cheating.
Speaker 1: I've been with her for ye eleven years and we've
Speaker 1: been married for a year and a half. And I'm
Speaker 1: what's called to plating suicide at the time because I
Speaker 1: thought she would never do it. But I'm still struggling
Speaker 1: trying to find out or to state with her or not.
Speaker 1: I really love her and I don't want to leave,
Speaker 1: but it's everything that I want to leave. Right Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, I'm glad that you didn't do anything
Speaker 1: like commit suicide because we would hate to not have
Speaker 1: you here on this planet with us. And I'm sure
Speaker 1: there's so many people that love you and care about
Speaker 1: you that would hate for something like that to happen.
Speaker 1: It would affect them so much. So you can't make
Speaker 1: rast decisions like that just because something terrible has happened
Speaker 1: in your life, and just know that other people have
Speaker 1: gone through what you've gone through and made it through that. Yes,
Speaker 1: since my second time going to lose for my last wife,
Speaker 1: and I feel less worried like I'm doing something wrong.
Speaker 1: It's definitely not you. I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 1: Cheating is a very common thing in relationships, and you
Speaker 1: should never blame yourself because it's somebody else's indiscretions. It
Speaker 1: seems more like issues that they have. And I'm sure
Speaker 1: everybody in the room can attest to the fact that
Speaker 1: we've all been cheated on. Right, Guys, No, I ain't
Speaker 1: menated on my wife. You know, my girl when she
Speaker 1: was in college, when she wasn't my wife. I can't
Speaker 1: relate to what you're going through, bro, And I don't
Speaker 1: want to feel your pain either, Charlomagne. It hurts everything.
Speaker 1: I'm still struggling now man, Yeah, Charlomagne, he was contemplating
Speaker 1: killing himself and I could imagine. But yeah, you asked
Speaker 1: me a question. I gave you. What you gotta do
Speaker 1: is you got you gotta remember that it's not you.
Speaker 1: And what you have to do is you might have
Speaker 1: to go to church, you might have to go get
Speaker 1: some therapy, you might have to talk to somebody. But
Speaker 1: do you have any kids? I have a lot? Well
Speaker 1: that there you go. There's no reason to lose your
Speaker 1: life when when so many people depend on you and
Speaker 1: so many people care about you, you got to remember that.
Speaker 1: As far as your wife is concerned, has as she apologized,
Speaker 1: do you forgive her? Is she trying to get right? Um?
Speaker 1: It's up in the ear. I mean she doesn't say
Speaker 1: the world, I'm sorry. She just she showed with her
Speaker 1: actions that's what type of person she is. Still do
Speaker 1: with her, I think he's contemplating whether or not he
Speaker 1: should stay with her. But what I think you need
Speaker 1: to do is, first of all, focus on you. Okay,
Speaker 1: before you even can't figure out what's going to happen
Speaker 1: in this relationship and how to move forward, you need
Speaker 1: to fix yourself and focus on being confident in yourself
Speaker 1: and knowing that what someone else does does not define you,
Speaker 1: it defines them. So she has some issues that she
Speaker 1: needs to deal with. She has a lot of proving
Speaker 1: that she needs to do to you, because if she
Speaker 1: cares about you and she loves you, she would not
Speaker 1: want to hurt you in the way that she does.
Speaker 1: And sometimes people can't even explain why they've done the
Speaker 1: things that they've done. I'm sure that she didn't cheat
Speaker 1: on you because she doesn't love you, or because you
Speaker 1: know you're not enough for her. But she's probably done
Speaker 1: that because of her own issues that she has within herself.
Speaker 1: Why did she say why she cheated? Does it matter?
Speaker 1: I can't. I mean, I can't say too much because
Speaker 1: people know who she You know who she is. But bro, bro, bro,
Speaker 1: can we look at the bright side? You have the
Speaker 1: ultimate hall pass right now. The best way to get
Speaker 1: over a woman is to get on top of another one.
Speaker 1: I'm not like that anymore. That wife that actually might
Speaker 1: make you feel a lot worse when you do something.
Speaker 1: He wants your family back and he doesn't. He wants
Speaker 1: to make things right. You gotta have a conversation and
Speaker 1: tell her how you feel, and she has to apologize.
Speaker 1: He has to understand that she was wrong, and she
Speaker 1: has to be remorseful. She can't just say Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry and keep it moving. Doesn't work like that. But
Speaker 1: what you need to do, sir, is you need to
Speaker 1: worry about yourself and do whatever you need to do
Speaker 1: to do to make yourself better. And that is definitely
Speaker 1: gonna take time, and you have to understand that. Of
Speaker 1: course you're going to be depressed. Of course you're her,
Speaker 1: and of course you're upset. You're a human being, and
Speaker 1: that's how you feel. But it will pass, and she
Speaker 1: still want to be with you. She does. She says
Speaker 1: she wants to be with me and she wants to
Speaker 1: be the faithful work that I want. But when you
Speaker 1: say stuff like that, I want you to be who
Speaker 1: you are, hey man, just say just take your time
Speaker 1: and no matter what it is that you do, you
Speaker 1: don't have to make a decision right now. And the
Speaker 1: only way that she can prove herself to you is
Speaker 1: by time. So it's gonna take. It might take years
Speaker 1: for you to feel like you can trust her again.
Speaker 1: But if she's dedicated and willing to do that, and
Speaker 1: that's up to you whether or not you want to
Speaker 1: allow her, give her that opportunity to prove herself. It's
Speaker 1: completely up to you. But in the meantime, you need
Speaker 1: to do things that are going to make you feel
Speaker 1: better about yourself, about your life, your confidence back, whatever
Speaker 1: it is that you have to do for yourself. You
Speaker 1: need to take the time to do that. You need
Speaker 1: to be selfish and being selfish, get over the vagina.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be easy, but it will take time,
Speaker 1: and you get through it. Bro and work on your
Speaker 1: mental health as well. Work on your mind, work on
Speaker 1: all of those things. Okay, I'm still phil Sometimes I
Speaker 1: still want I don't want to be here, but I
Speaker 1: have friends and family that helped me through it. And
Speaker 1: I promise you as soon as you get some other vagina,
Speaker 1: you'll feel better. As far as your wife, the best
Speaker 1: apology is change behavior, so she can say sorry, but
Speaker 1: she got to stop popping that poom poom for other goons.
Speaker 1: And I just want to say one last thing. Just
Speaker 1: think about things that you've gone through in the past.
Speaker 1: You said your ex wife cheated on you as well.
Speaker 1: You got over that, right, I did, but I was
Speaker 1: in a hospital. It took a while and you got
Speaker 1: through it, So all I'm saying. All I'm saying is
Speaker 1: it does take a while, but you will get through
Speaker 1: it same time, and you will have to make sure
Speaker 1: that you're here to make sure you get through it.
Speaker 1: How'd you get over your ex? You got over your EXBI?
Speaker 1: What getting with another woman? Right? I did not, charlote mene.
Speaker 1: How'd you get over hurd In through the grace of
Speaker 1: guard and in the hospital, no doubt. And after a
Speaker 1: while you got with another woman right when he When
Speaker 1: you're ready, you can do making whatever decision that you
Speaker 1: want to trying to rush to that. And also today's
Speaker 1: my birthday, well happy birthday, brother man? Where you actual

Speaker 1: If you got a question for you, you could call
Speaker 1: it anytime. You've got rooms on the way. Yes, we
Speaker 1: are going to talk about Princess Love versus Brandy. We
Speaker 1: gave you the story that they did not show up
Speaker 1: to Princess Love's baby shower because they had an argument.
Speaker 1: Well now it seems like Princess Love thinks Brandy's being phony. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it when we come back. It's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is d and angela
Speaker 1: Ye sholomy the God we are the Breakfast Club. Happy

Speaker 1: these Princess Love Brandy thing the wagons in the game
Speaker 1: right now? What happen to be Jesus Chris is the rue.
Speaker 1: Well we told you before about Princess to Love and
Speaker 1: she had her baby shower a Brandy and her mom
Speaker 1: did not show up to the baby shower. Apparently they
Speaker 1: were upset about some post she had done after she
Speaker 1: was mad at ray J. She felt that he had
Speaker 1: I guess cheated on her. Well, Brandy did do a
Speaker 1: post congrats to my brother and sister on their baby
Speaker 1: and baby shower. I'm very excited to be an auntie.
Speaker 1: So sorry I missed at the moment with the both
Speaker 1: of you. I had a show on Hampton, Virginia on
Speaker 1: the same day, but I'm so glad I was able
Speaker 1: to push my flight back for the gender revealed the
Speaker 1: day before. There is nothing here but love and no
Speaker 1: matter what anyone says, we are family and we will
Speaker 1: always be. That's when Princess Love responded, STF you posting this,
Speaker 1: I should post what you just text me? So I
Speaker 1: guess that's her way of saying that Brandy's not keeping
Speaker 1: it real, it's lying. Yeah, all right. It probably is
Speaker 1: more than likely front and for the gram yeah them,
Speaker 1: because she probably didn't that negative press about her not
Speaker 1: showing up to the baby shower. Yeah, and she probably
Speaker 1: think that by posting something people would be like, well, No,
Speaker 1: Brandy doesn't hate Princess, because if she did, she wouldn't
Speaker 1: have posted this. All right, Well, I think Ray Jay's
Speaker 1: coming here next week anyway, so we'll ask him about
Speaker 1: all of that. All right, Rich the kid he is married,
Speaker 1: and you know rich to care from the new Freezer song.
Speaker 1: I keep trying to get you guys to challenge get
Speaker 1: this song with Kendrick who don't Anyway. Apparently he's married
Speaker 1: to a woman named Antoinette, and she is now asking
Speaker 1: for a full physical custody of their two kids, and
Speaker 1: she wants to joint legal custody and spousal support as
Speaker 1: well because they want she plans to get a divorce now. Previously,
Speaker 1: she had posted on social media that he was cheating
Speaker 1: on her with a number of different women, and she
Speaker 1: also had accused him of domestic violence back in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: So the reports are that they do have one child together,
Speaker 1: but she accused him of cheating with people like Black China,
Speaker 1: India Love amongst other women. All Right, it's a nice
Speaker 1: little roster, you know what I'm saying. If you're gonna
Speaker 1: go out, go out blazing, you know, I'm sure he
Speaker 1: don't want to go. Hey, man, if you're gonna go out,
Speaker 1: go a blade, and it's a nice little roster the half,
Speaker 1: you know. All right, Sissa, she is now talking once again,
Speaker 1: and she actually has done this before, about leaving music
Speaker 1: and saying that her next album will be her last album.
Speaker 1: She said, my world got so much smaller so fast.
Speaker 1: I have so much to write about. I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm in a cage. I'm making the best album of
Speaker 1: my life for this next album, and I know that
Speaker 1: because it's going to be my last album. I hope
Speaker 1: that's not true. I hope it's not true too, because
Speaker 1: Sissa is super talented. She writes for other people. Her
Speaker 1: album was incredible. I know if she says this next
Speaker 1: one is going to be even better, I can't even
Speaker 1: imagine what that's gonna be like. But maybe what she
Speaker 1: means that she's not gonna do albums anymore, maybe continue
Speaker 1: to write. By the way, everybody that we've ever heard
Speaker 1: say that has continued to put out more music. And
Speaker 1: the one person who never said that and stuck with
Speaker 1: it was Lauren Hill. Okay, so if you're gonna do it,
Speaker 1: just do it, all right, Well, don't forget the control version,
Speaker 1: the Deluxe Version of Control is coming out sometime this year,
Speaker 1: so there'll be six new songs on that, so you'll
Speaker 1: have that as well as an another album on the way. Now,
Speaker 1: Kanye is having some issues about using the Yeasy name legally.
Speaker 1: For whatever reason. He has that name trademarked for his
Speaker 1: shoes his footwear since twenty thirteen, but he abandoned the
Speaker 1: trademark for other clothing items beside shoes just last year,
Speaker 1: and another company in China actually seize that opportunity and
Speaker 1: they trademark the term Yeazy Boost for their clothing products.
Speaker 1: So now there's some issues with Kanye trying to get
Speaker 1: that name back. He refiled for an application, but they're
Speaker 1: saying another company has that trademark. Now, well that's not
Speaker 1: to be a quick fix. He could call it, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he did so many different things. People care about the sneakers,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure he does. You also don't want people
Speaker 1: to buy something else called Yeasy there. They're not gonna
Speaker 1: buy nothing other than adidasignye He's good, all right. He
Speaker 1: also has a Yeasy dating app, and I've been seeing
Speaker 1: this for quite some time. I don't understand this is
Speaker 1: that his app or that's somebody else to using his name. Now.
Speaker 1: I got started by a fan on crowdfunder named Harry
Speaker 1: Dry said, I've been built a dating site for Kanye
Speaker 1: West fans for the last month or so and I'm
Speaker 1: very close to finishing it. I just need a little
Speaker 1: help with the final development marketing. And that dating app
