Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy we

Speaker 1: some front page news now. NFL of Philly Eagles beat
Speaker 1: the Jets of Green Bay beat Dallas thirty four twenty four.
Speaker 1: Shut up, green Baby eat Jet the Dallas Cowboys thirty
Speaker 1: four twenty four. Shut up, you said that already. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1: You missed the score. I was traveling because I was
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. I went to the Tyler Perry Grand Opening.
Speaker 1: What was the New York Giants Vikings score? And tonight
Speaker 1: and Monday Night Football on take On clear about all
Speaker 1: the listeners who might not who might have missed the
Speaker 1: scores yesterday because we was busy. What was the score
Speaker 1: the Giants Vikings game? Envy? I didn't even know Giants
Speaker 1: play lest Okay, I'm pretty sure it was twenty eight
Speaker 1: to ten Vikings. Yeah, I wasn't. I wanting to Giants
Speaker 1: two and three? Now, I mean, I mean, it don't
Speaker 1: mean anything. It's throwing it out there. Want to keep
Speaker 1: people informed. Wasn't paying attention to the Giants and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys almost have the same record. No, there's things almost
Speaker 1: having the same I'll go with that. I'll go with that. No,
Speaker 1: what else you're talking about? We have a winning record,
Speaker 1: the Giants don't. All right, A second whistle blower has
Speaker 1: come forward after talking with intelligence officials, and they are
Speaker 1: saying this person also has firsthand knowledge of some of
Speaker 1: the allegations in the original complaint against Donald Trump and
Speaker 1: his dealings with the Ukraine. So there's all of that
Speaker 1: going on with this whole impeachment inquiry. So now they're
Speaker 1: saying that both officials have come forward. The whistle blowers
Speaker 1: have full protection of the law intended to protect whistle
Speaker 1: blowers from being fired in retaliation. So we will give
Speaker 1: you more information as that comes out, has more information.
Speaker 1: It's getting ridiculous because I'm like, I don't even know
Speaker 1: why they need whistle blowers when they've already confessed to
Speaker 1: every goddamn thing, not to mention. Donald Trump stood on
Speaker 1: the White House lawn and not only said should Ukraine
Speaker 1: investigate Joe Biden? He said China too? So what's the problem?
Speaker 1: What are we talking about it? Right? The White House
Speaker 1: Press secretary said that it doesn't matter how many people
Speaker 1: decided to call themselves with the blowers about the same
Speaker 1: telephone call, a call the president already made public. It
Speaker 1: doesn't change the fact that he's done nothing wrong. No boy,
Speaker 1: and made the public don't mean his right. And in
Speaker 1: sad news, both of Jean's neighbor who was a key
Speaker 1: witness in Amber Geiger's trial, was shot to death and
Speaker 1: Dallas Joshua Brown he died at the hospital after getting
Speaker 1: shot Friday night. And you know what, people were calling
Speaker 1: him a snitch for taking the stand for taking the stand, yes,
Speaker 1: which and he didn't want and you know, he really
Speaker 1: didn't want to take this stand. They actually subpoenaed him
Speaker 1: and he was forced to take this stand. He didn't
Speaker 1: want to do that. But he's been in hiding because
Speaker 1: he's had some issues with people in the past that
Speaker 1: were I guess coming after him for retaliation for something
Speaker 1: else they felt like he was involved in. And it
Speaker 1: turns out that the reason why he really didn't want
Speaker 1: to be out there publicly is he was trying to
Speaker 1: keep a low profile. He had moved recently, and I
Speaker 1: guess that just put him on blast and now everybody
Speaker 1: was seeing his face everywhere, and other people are saying
Speaker 1: that perhaps this was a good way because you know,
Speaker 1: first one used heard that he was killed in Dallas.
Speaker 1: You feel like it's tied to this trial in some way,
Speaker 1: but they're still investigating and trying to find out who
Speaker 1: is the person that shot and killed him. If it's
Speaker 1: not tied to the trial, that's a hell of a coincidence. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the timing of that is very very suspect. All right, Well, La,
Speaker 1: that's why they didn't want to take the stand, because
Speaker 1: he's trying to be in hiding and lay low from
Speaker 1: other people, that street stuff, and that he was low
Speaker 1: because they didn't want the street and the way he was.
Speaker 1: But they made him testify, which told the streets way
Speaker 1: he was allegedly. Oh so yeah, So when you say
Speaker 1: that he was snitching and had nothing to do it
Speaker 1: the Amber getting kid y could have had something to
Speaker 1: do with the whole other kids, right, No, they were
Speaker 1: talking about him taking the stand in Amber Geiger. On
Speaker 1: social media. People were calling him a snitch for that.
Speaker 1: So which is trained to tell on the police. I
Speaker 1: don't get what I'm confused about. I don't know that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm confused. I'm so glad I'm not
Speaker 1: in the street. All right, Well that's front page news.
Speaker 1: Get it off. We was young, it was stitching was
Speaker 1: very was not as complicated it was back in there.
Speaker 1: Let's whole stuff is kind of everything is very complicated.
Speaker 1: You can snitch on yourself, but then when you're doing
Speaker 1: a court it, what's the difference they have been doing
Speaker 1: it on themselves. Oh? I always I always thought that
Speaker 1: snitching was if me and somebody else to committee were
Speaker 1: crying together, correct, and we get locked up and I
Speaker 1: tell on that person to save my ass. That's snitching, correct,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that crime prevention, you know, seeing something
Speaker 1: and saying something was considered snitching. I'm confused and I
Speaker 1: don't even want to know. I'm so glad I'm not
Speaker 1: in the street. Get it off your chests eight five
Speaker 1: eight five, one oh five one. If you're upset, you

Speaker 1: you shoot too much on your teammate. It's talking, make
Speaker 1: a boone call, get you trigger. You probably show because
Speaker 1: your thought it was hot. You ain't hard because of
Speaker 1: real life to trust like a fuck first stringer that
Speaker 1: I gave your son. I've been to rop you. I'm
Speaker 1: so mad if even guys or a lock can't help
Speaker 1: you goodness string. I hate when that hangs out and
Speaker 1: you don't realize. Okay, yeah, let's be clear though. I
Speaker 1: love Shack, but these aren't even close. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you why I told you in this radio last week.
Speaker 1: If NBA players who might have better flows, better lyrics
Speaker 1: to shock when it comes to making songs, I have
Speaker 1: never heard of NBA player and make better songs than Shocks.
Speaker 1: So if Shrek wants to beat Dame, he has to
Speaker 1: make a good dish record a song, not bars. Don't
Speaker 1: go bar to ball wrap the ball with Damian When
Speaker 1: it comes to bars, it's not even close. Damian Lillard
Speaker 1: is he's a rapper. Ye, So you're giving that round
Speaker 1: to Damian Lillard. What you're saying, I haven't heard everything
Speaker 1: I've heard. That's when when what you just heard these
Speaker 1: two I've heard two song I've heard two freestyles from
Speaker 1: Dame whatever you call it those and Dam's bodied him
Speaker 1: like it's not even closed. Damis wrapped, It's not even close.
Speaker 1: Shot has to make a good song. You're know when
Speaker 1: Drake made back to back, hit him up with an
Speaker 1: actual record, like, Shot has to make a record. Don't
Speaker 1: go with him. Let's talk about fifty cent. He's producing
Speaker 1: a document series about Takashi six nine and according to
Speaker 1: the scripted series, it'll focus on Takashi, Snoop Dog, Scott Storch,
Speaker 1: Ray fair Alston, and fifty Tent himself. It's called a
Speaker 1: Moment in Time. It's gonna have six to eight hour
Speaker 1: long episodes dedicated to each subject. Why so yeah, fifties
Speaker 1: framing Takashi, story about his very controversial and kind of
Speaker 1: brief rap career, and so you know if he's been
Speaker 1: trying to get these movie rights for Takashi, So we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. The Rat a documentary in the works,
Speaker 1: The Rat, Tamer Rat Trap, I don't know, Snoops episodes.
Speaker 1: They're gonna focus on his murdered track, which happened when
Speaker 1: Doggie Style was out, and Ray fare Alston is going
Speaker 1: to talk about him, his journey from being a street
Speaker 1: ball legend to the twenty y nine final kids tomorow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean those are all great stories. I would love
Speaker 1: to see all those stories. I don't think the KAG
Speaker 1: six nine deserves a whole documentary. Bro. Now, when you
Speaker 1: compare them to old people, we just die. I mean not.
Speaker 1: It's still interesting though, and it's and it's new, it's relevant.
Speaker 1: I'm sure the kids to watch. But the fact the
Speaker 1: way he came from, Yeah, it's like when they show
Speaker 1: all those CSI stories about cases that are happening right now.
Speaker 1: He was a rapper, he didn't pop it. Then he
Speaker 1: was I believe he was a cripp at one time,
Speaker 1: and then he went to blood and then everything behind
Speaker 1: him and then how it all fell down. It's interesting. IGTV,
Speaker 1: All right, shoot the documentary and put it out on IGTV.
Speaker 1: That's what thought. There was a snapchat one coming out.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but I know to ship
Speaker 1: fifties verified too. He can put up the twenty thirty
Speaker 1: minutes on his id TV. In the meantime. According to
Speaker 1: new legal documents that the Blast has obtained, he's asking
Speaker 1: the judge to expedite his sentencing because he wants to
Speaker 1: start his prison sentence right away. He's co operated, keeping
Speaker 1: up even more than he had to. So now he
Speaker 1: wants to hurry up and get a sentence so he
Speaker 1: can hurry up and come home. So that is what
Speaker 1: he's asking for. I get much of a sentence. I
Speaker 1: think it will get time serve well. He probably wants
Speaker 1: to know now he wants to come home. He was
Speaker 1: facing a minimum of forty seven years in federal prison,
Speaker 1: but they're saying that will be drastically reduced through the
Speaker 1: far happens. Imagine they still gave him forty seven years.
Speaker 1: I may that would be hilarious goodness, all right, I'm
Speaker 1: anti la yea, and that is your rumor repairing forty
Speaker 1: six you can give him. I think you get get
Speaker 1: left than forty seven. Forty six years. They would never
Speaker 1: do that because nobody would ever snitch again. You're like,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, right, there's a product. I'm
Speaker 1: sure they've if you go do that, but snitch, then
Speaker 1: you still get forty six years. Yeah, but if he
Speaker 1: was facing a hundred, so you'ppy you know, if you're
Speaker 1: happy with forty six, If he was facing a hundred,
Speaker 1: at least his hope. All right, you might come home.
Speaker 1: We got front pay his news next year. What we're
Speaker 1: talking about, Yes, we are going to be talking about him.
Speaker 1: Since we're talking about people telling on people. Imagine being
Speaker 1: a mother and turning your own son in. What'll tell
Speaker 1: you what happened? All right, we'll get into that next
Speaker 1: Keep a lot just to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning,
Speaker 1: everybody's DJ mvy Angela yee Charlomagne. The guy we are
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club is getting some front page news in NFL. Right.

Speaker 1: thirty four twenty four, Green Bay. I'm sorry, Minnesota beat.
Speaker 1: I need to know who Minnesota beat. Minnesota beat the
Speaker 1: Yankees was flying all weekend. I was in and out
Speaker 1: of Atlanta. Who did the Minnesota beat? They didn't the
Speaker 1: Yankees beat Minnesota. Let me look at hold on, Oh
Speaker 1: it's right here. The Minnesota Vikings beat the New York
Speaker 1: Giants twenty eight to ten. Wow, Okay, the New York
Speaker 1: Giants are now two and three. Minnesota Vikers are three
Speaker 1: and two. All right, that means that the Minnesota Vikers
Speaker 1: have a winning record the Giants. Don't you know who
Speaker 1: else has the winning records? Still out of Dallas, Cowboy,

Speaker 1: fourteen seven, Devin beat the Charge of twenty thirteen, Indianapolis b.
Speaker 1: Kansas City nineteen thirteen, And tonight the forty nine is
Speaker 1: take on the Browns. What else we got? Easy? Let's
Speaker 1: talk about a mother who turned in her seventeen year
Speaker 1: old son to police because she found some plans that
Speaker 1: he had in his journal. He wanted to carry out
Speaker 1: a school shooting on the anniversary of the Columbine High
Speaker 1: School massacre. Here's what she told CBS News Stepfast, I
Speaker 1: know I did all I can do and that I
Speaker 1: made the right choice. How does that make you feel
Speaker 1: as a mom, like I've done something wrong? My son
Speaker 1: told them that she was in the creative writing and
Speaker 1: that it was just a story. I don't feel like
Speaker 1: she did anything wrong. And the reason I don't feel
Speaker 1: like she did anything wrong is because we don't know,
Speaker 1: you know, what type of issues her son is dealing with.
Speaker 1: And parents have to be responsible for our children at
Speaker 1: all times. And to me, that's being a responsible parents.
Speaker 1: Very small could the boy could get help now instead
Speaker 1: of jail for the rest of his life, he can
Speaker 1: get help and hopefully get it change his way. Clearly
Speaker 1: that man, Clearly, that man needs some type of help,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and he can't get it
Speaker 1: now because his mom saw something and said something. All
Speaker 1: right now, Donald Trump had about three hundred young black
Speaker 1: supporters inside of the White House on Friday, and he
Speaker 1: definitely was playing to his audience. Here's what he said,
Speaker 1: African Americans built this nation. You know, it's just starting
Speaker 1: to get real credit for that. Okay. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you know that we all built it, but you
Speaker 1: were such a massive part of it, bigger than you
Speaker 1: were given credit for it. Does that make sense? Well,
Speaker 1: he's right, but tell us something we don't know. And
Speaker 1: how about he said, I don't know if you know that.
Speaker 1: I mean maybe nobody in that room did, because you know,
Speaker 1: let's get compensated for it. Now, like that was a
Speaker 1: great time for somebody in that room to bring up
Speaker 1: the conversation about reparations. Nobody's asked the actual president about
Speaker 1: his stamps on reparations yet, now, why would it again?
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is just having like a mini rally, I guess,
Speaker 1: trying to get fighting some bros over. Yeah. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought it was a conference or something. I thought it
Speaker 1: was a yeah, they it turned into like a mini
Speaker 1: rally for him. No, I thought I think it was
Speaker 1: an actual conference that he was speaking at. That's how
Speaker 1: I asked, Well, yeah, it was at the White House
Speaker 1: on Friday, okay, And so just never heard him say
Speaker 1: that before. All right, Bernie Sanders is feeling better, and
Speaker 1: he released a video to make sure that you guys
Speaker 1: know he is. Okay, Hello everybody, We're in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: I just got out of the hospital and I'm feeling
Speaker 1: so much better. I just want to thank all of
Speaker 1: you for the love and warm wishes that you sent
Speaker 1: to me. See you soon. On the campaign trail. All right,
Speaker 1: So fortunately, you know he's been having some heart pride
Speaker 1: what it is supposed to say though, Yeah, I like
Speaker 1: Bernie sayings. But man, when people have been clowning you
Speaker 1: for being old and saying you're too old to be
Speaker 1: president and you have a heart attack and you gotta
Speaker 1: get stems put in your heart, that's not a good look.
Speaker 1: If you really love Bernie Sanders man, and you know
Speaker 1: you think his ideas are good for the country, I
Speaker 1: think he would tell him to stand down. You wouldn't
Speaker 1: act like seriously, I would tell him to stand down.
Speaker 1: Being a president is very scressful. Being on that campaign
Speaker 1: trail is very supressful. I don't think it's worth your
Speaker 1: health and you know, your life. That's just my point
Speaker 1: of view, though, all right, And the rest in peace
Speaker 1: and condolences to Joshua Brown's family. He was both m
Speaker 1: John's neighbor. He's the person that was the key witness
Speaker 1: in the trial against him, and people are wondering how
Speaker 1: did this manage to happen just right after Amber Geiger
Speaker 1: was sentence because his testimony was so key. So they
Speaker 1: are offering a reward to anybody who wants to help
Speaker 1: find out who murdered Joshua Brown. There is a one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollar reward. According to Sean King, he said,
Speaker 1: my friend and brother, Bill Perkins is providing a hundred
Speaker 1: thousand for the reward to help us find out who
Speaker 1: murdered Joshua Brown. He was elite witness in the murder
Speaker 1: of both m John and was shot and killed right
Speaker 1: there in his apartment. COMPA will not stop until we
Speaker 1: find out who did this. Damn. All right, Well, Ladd
Speaker 1: is front page news now. Yeah, and Trump was speaking
Speaker 1: at the second Annual Black Leadership Summits. Okay, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what that was. All right, Well, Ladd is your front
Speaker 1: page News now. When we come back, Author Ryan Holiday,
Speaker 1: when you joining us. Ryan Holiday is one of my
Speaker 1: favorite authors. He's real big on stoic wisdom. When I
Speaker 1: read my daily Affirmations in the morning, I read out
Speaker 1: of his daily Stoic book. I love his book Ego
Speaker 1: as the Enemy, Obstacle to the Way. Trust me, I'm lying.
Speaker 1: And he's got a new book out call Stillness is
Speaker 1: the Key. Amazing read. And Ryan Holliday is coming up next.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll kick it with him next. And don't move.
Speaker 1: It's to Breakfast Club. Come on, Breakfast Club, Your morning's
Speaker 1: will never be the same. H one's true crime docuseries
Speaker 1: is back tonight at nine eighth Central. While the past
Speaker 1: generation of Nall Coast might be dead, the Cartel is
Speaker 1: still alive. This season, the Crew is crossing into new territory.
Speaker 1: Don't miss the new season of Cartel Crew tonight at
Speaker 1: nine eighth Central on VH one. The Breakfast Club. I
Speaker 1: want to everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy.
Speaker 1: We all the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest
Speaker 1: in the building, my guy. He's the author of Stillness
Speaker 1: is the Key, his new book, Ryan Holliday, what's up,
Speaker 1: my brother? Not much? Thanks for having me. How are you, man?
Speaker 1: I'm really good. It's so hard to be still in
Speaker 1: this day and age. Yeah, what is still in this man?
Speaker 1: And why is it the key? It's it's always been hard, right,
Speaker 1: there's this guy, Blazed Pascal. Five hundred years ago. He
Speaker 1: said all of humanity's problems stem from our inability to
Speaker 1: sit quietly in a room alone. That's before Facebook, that's
Speaker 1: before Instagram, even before text messaging. Yeah, they did this
Speaker 1: study recently people would rather shock themselves than sit alone
Speaker 1: in a room with their thoughts for fifteen minutes. They'd
Speaker 1: rather feel physical pain than be quiet and not moving.
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting, Like the only time I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm disconnected is if I go jogging in the park, right,
Speaker 1: But then I also can't do it without listening to music.
Speaker 1: I think music's all right. I think music's all right.
Speaker 1: But what is interesting is that's probably one of the
Speaker 1: best parts of your day because you you have good ideas.
Speaker 1: When I come up with all my ideas totally, and
Speaker 1: so what I was thinking about in the book and
Speaker 1: when I've been thinking about my life, if those are
Speaker 1: the moments where I do my best work, Why am
Speaker 1: I not building my life around those moments? Why am
Speaker 1: I just letting it happen accidentally? And so I want
Speaker 1: to be like really intentional about building that in there,
Speaker 1: not just because it's like spiritual, but because like that
Speaker 1: will make me better at life. Are humans really wide
Speaker 1: to enjoy it a moment? Like it seems like, you know,
Speaker 1: worry about the past and the future is just inevitable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we're the opposite of wire to enjoy the moment.
Speaker 1: Like if you think about it like that, inability to
Speaker 1: ever have enough to always want to do the next
Speaker 1: thing that serves us really well as a species. That's
Speaker 1: why people go on, you know, explore new continents and
Speaker 1: why they you know, a million dollars isn't enough. They
Speaker 1: got to make a billion dollars. So it's good for
Speaker 1: the humanity, but it's probably not fun to be elon musk. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it's a grind because there's
Speaker 1: never enough. What about Donald Trump? You think that's fun?
Speaker 1: I mean he's got to be having the least amount
Speaker 1: of fun that any human being on the planet. I
Speaker 1: can feel that way about you in a way, though,
Speaker 1: how come because you always putting out books? So what
Speaker 1: I think about is like, I love the process of
Speaker 1: creating and the published finished thing that's like that comes
Speaker 1: out the other side. That's that's the byproduct. But I'm
Speaker 1: not thinking about as I'm writing, is like how can
Speaker 1: I publish this? How many copies? Is going to stuff?
Speaker 1: You gotta love the craft of the thing and teaching,
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah yeah, and having yeah, having something to say?
Speaker 1: So when do you sit still? Sit still? Yeah, of course,
Speaker 1: still waiting to come. No, so I got a couple
Speaker 1: things that I think are pretty practical for people. So
Speaker 1: number one, I think you get up early. You guys
Speaker 1: obviously have to do this part of your job, but
Speaker 1: the benefit of that is, like you wake up before
Speaker 1: everyone else, so there's less stuff happening, you know. Drive
Speaker 1: to work. My drive to work is the best of
Speaker 1: forty five to a hour, no radio, no calls, nothing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I tell people it's like wake up before your kids. Don't.
Speaker 1: Don't let the kid decide that the morning starts with chaos.
Speaker 1: Have a little bit of time there. So I think
Speaker 1: getting up early is important. My new thing is I
Speaker 1: don't touch my phone for the first thirty minutes to
Speaker 1: one hour of the day, Like I go straight in
Speaker 1: to whatever. The main thing I have to do is
Speaker 1: before I see what Donald Trump tweeted while I was sleeping. Right, See,
Speaker 1: my phone has my alarm on it, So the first
Speaker 1: thing I do is look at my phone, and then
Speaker 1: I see all the text messages I missed while I
Speaker 1: was asleep. So you're starting the day on your back foot.
Speaker 1: Do you do you sleep with your phone in your room? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's my alarm, So I mean, look, an alarm
Speaker 1: clock's like six bucks, like buy an alarm clock. It's
Speaker 1: just so convenient. Let other people said the tone for
Speaker 1: your day. Now. You also talk about mby and jealousy
Speaker 1: in the book and half harmful. Yes you envy, you're harmful. Well,
Speaker 1: you know the Theodore Roosevelt quote is comparison is the
Speaker 1: thief of joy. If like you go, my job was
Speaker 1: to have a radio show. My job was to be
Speaker 1: a best selling author. You get that and you think
Speaker 1: this is awesome, and then you go, but this guy
Speaker 1: sold ten more copies than me. This isn't good anymore.
Speaker 1: It's the comparison that takes away the enjoyment of the
Speaker 1: thing that we earned. What I try to think about
Speaker 1: is like I want my success to be defined by
Speaker 1: things that I control, and then everything else's extra. So like,
Speaker 1: so this book came out this week. I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm not perfect, and I don't think anyone is. I
Speaker 1: do care about the results, but I feel like I
Speaker 1: already took ninety percent of my winnings off the table
Speaker 1: before release day because like, I know, I put all
Speaker 1: the work in. I know I said what I wanted
Speaker 1: to say. I know it's the best I was capable
Speaker 1: of and then so where it hits on the list,
Speaker 1: how many copies with the first check looks like I did.
Speaker 1: And so my definition is mostly what was I capable of,
Speaker 1: not what this commit. Like the New York Times, this
Speaker 1: is a committee that it's not objective reality. None of
Speaker 1: the Nobel Prize is not an objective objective none of
Speaker 1: this is right. And so I'm not going to hand
Speaker 1: my satisfaction and my happiness over to these people. I'll
Speaker 1: give an example, My My, My My book, which I
Speaker 1: think is how we connected the obstacles away. Uh, that
Speaker 1: book sold like a million copies. They hit the best
Speaker 1: seller list for the first time five years after it
Speaker 1: came out. That's not an indication of objective reality. And like,
Speaker 1: if you think about in history, think about all the
Speaker 1: super talented people that didn't get the awards of the
Speaker 1: recognition they deserved because they were black, or they were Jewish,
Speaker 1: or they were a woman. Like the idea that you're
Speaker 1: gonna let success be defined by people who have their
Speaker 1: own agenda is really not a good Sorry, it's not
Speaker 1: it's not a it's not a good idea. You're you're taking,
Speaker 1: you're taking your happiness and you're handing the control of
Speaker 1: it to somebody else. Do you have kids, You have kids? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got to give kids. I got a three year
Speaker 1: old and a four month old. See for me, and
Speaker 1: I don't know, Challowy feels the same. I look at
Speaker 1: my parents and I see them had to do jobs
Speaker 1: that they necessarily might not have loved, but they did
Speaker 1: it because they had to support their family. So for myself,
Speaker 1: thank God, I'm doing a job that I love, but
Speaker 1: I want to keep it in my family. I want
Speaker 1: to make sure that my kids always have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to do what they enjoy and not necessarily focus on
Speaker 1: the money. Yeah. And I think that's the reason why
Speaker 1: we get stressed out in this hall for me to
Speaker 1: sit still sometimes because I always think of them. Sure,
Speaker 1: but what I kind of took from my parents that
Speaker 1: I think helps me in my job because I get
Speaker 1: to do my dream too, is it's like they saw
Speaker 1: it as a job, so like I'm gonna I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh I'm not feeling it today, or
Speaker 1: like you know, like I show up and treat this
Speaker 1: like a job even though I love it. It's like
Speaker 1: I'm not, Yeah, it is, it's work. And how the
Speaker 1: ethic I bring to it is a reflection of my character. Now,
Speaker 1: what's your journey been like to stillness, because I'm sure
Speaker 1: coming up you had your own issues that you were
Speaker 1: grappling with to make you come to realize how stillness
Speaker 1: is the key. Yeah, I think one of the things
Speaker 1: I took is I've been thinking a lot about is
Speaker 1: like no amount of external success will make you feel
Speaker 1: good internally. So a lot of times ambitious people they're like,
Speaker 1: if I just do this, I just get this, like
Speaker 1: Dad'll be proud of me. But it's like you can't
Speaker 1: earn that. If you don't have it already, you're never
Speaker 1: gonna get it, or you want to prove people wrong,
Speaker 1: or you want to shove it in their face, or
Speaker 1: you just think like if I get this, like all
Speaker 1: be worthwhile as a person. And that's where like the
Speaker 1: therapy comes in, That's where the mental health stuff comes in.
Speaker 1: That's where so I've had to do a lot of
Speaker 1: work there. And the other thing I've been I've been
Speaker 1: thinking about is like you don't make good decisions when
Speaker 1: you're just doing doing doing, Like early in your career
Speaker 1: you got to say yes to everything, But there comes
Speaker 1: a time where it's got to shift absolutely, because now
Speaker 1: you've got more opportunities than you know what to do with.
Speaker 1: And if you don't do that, that's when you agree
Speaker 1: to that thing that takes your eye off the ball
Speaker 1: and then someone steals your spot. All right, we got
Speaker 1: more with Ryan Holiday when we come back. Nope, move
Speaker 1: is to Breakfast Club, Go Morning Putting. Everybody is DJ
Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee Schaldomine, the guy we all the Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club was still kicking it with author Ryan Holiday. Chalomie,
Speaker 1: could you tell people what saatriri is? Yeah, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's the It's the sat It's where you get in meditation,
Speaker 1: when you get that sort of flash of insight. It's
Speaker 1: like when enlightenment hits. How do you get there? I
Speaker 1: think you get there with quiet, You get there with thinking,
Speaker 1: You get there with work. You know, people think like
Speaker 1: enlightenment is this thing you buy in a box, or
Speaker 1: you can take some psychedelic and you magically. No, like
Speaker 1: wisdom takes work. You gotta ask people questions, you gotta
Speaker 1: challenge yourself, like you're going to therapy for months and
Speaker 1: months and months and then one day it just clicks.
Speaker 1: That's what that moment. Is I like what you said
Speaker 1: too about Satoria. You say, no one can get to
Speaker 1: Saratoia by focusing on what's obvious, or by sticking with
Speaker 1: the first thought that pops into your head. I feel
Speaker 1: like that's ninety percent of the content on social media.
Speaker 1: You just say the first thing that comes to the
Speaker 1: head instead of thinking about it, and they never think
Speaker 1: like I'm going to regret this. I think we're seeing
Speaker 1: this in sports too. Somebody's pissed after a game, they
Speaker 1: rush to Twitter to say what they thought, what they think,
Speaker 1: or how they feel, and it's like, your feelings are passing.
Speaker 1: Now your relationship with this person is defined by this
Speaker 1: thing you said to millions of people. And you know,
Speaker 1: there's a still a quote it's better to trip with
Speaker 1: your feet than with your tongue. You cannot unsay things.
Speaker 1: You know. You can get back up after you fall,
Speaker 1: but you can't unsay that now. I've always been really
Speaker 1: cautious about what I do say and what I put
Speaker 1: it out there. A lot of the trick that I
Speaker 1: do is before I react to something, I counted ten
Speaker 1: backwards in my head. If I know that I'm going
Speaker 1: to say something, I might regret later, or you know,
Speaker 1: you want to get it off your chest right away,
Speaker 1: because some people feel like restricting yourself from saying those
Speaker 1: things is not a good thing, like you have to
Speaker 1: say it, stay what you feel, you're censoring yourself. But
Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes I might not feel that way
Speaker 1: yeah tomorrow. It depends what it is, because, like you said,
Speaker 1: I if I've actually thought about it, yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: not an obvious thought, like it's something that nobody else
Speaker 1: sure has bought to the table. Yet I'm bringing it
Speaker 1: to the table. But if you're angry at somebody and
Speaker 1: you react, I don't think that's always the best reaction.
Speaker 1: I've never once been glad I lost my temper. There
Speaker 1: are times I'm glad I stood up for myself. But
Speaker 1: it wasn't when I was doing it out of anger.
Speaker 1: It's when I thought about it, you know. So what
Speaker 1: I think one of the tests I used, I go like,
Speaker 1: what if I didn't see this? So somebody sends me
Speaker 1: this email, and I go like, what if my phone
Speaker 1: just like ate it and I never saw it? Like
Speaker 1: and if I didn't respond, would it matter? You know?
Speaker 1: And so I go like I kind of use like deliberately,
Speaker 1: like just pretending I didn't get stuff. I like to
Speaker 1: slow down thing deeply. Chapter you break down what mister
Speaker 1: Rogers taught kids to do. Have you guys seen mister
Speaker 1: Rodgers lately? The TV show saw a documentary documentary. If
Speaker 1: you remember the intro of the show, what's the first
Speaker 1: thing you see? It's a flashing yellow light, like slowing
Speaker 1: down man um and if and that's his energy, And like,
Speaker 1: I think about it now because like, yeah, he's mad
Speaker 1: thinking about it now. He was mad slow folding his jacket. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that compared to it's from Pittsburgh. But but you
Speaker 1: compare that to like most kids shows, it's like, wait,
Speaker 1: why am I teaching my kid to be like a
Speaker 1: hyped up spas. That's like the opposite of what I want. Like,
Speaker 1: so I love that slow energy. That always the energy
Speaker 1: in New York is whack yeah, super fast. Everybody going
Speaker 1: so fast. I have to slow myself down when I
Speaker 1: leave New York. I remember when I first really started
Speaker 1: traveling and going places, and I'd be so impatient with everything,
Speaker 1: like even just getting my change back, I'm not even
Speaker 1: in a rush. And you're like, oh my god, what's
Speaker 1: taking them? So long, and I have to consciously be like, okay, Angela,
Speaker 1: everybody is not in a rush. I talk fast, I
Speaker 1: move fast. I do, and sometimes I have to force
Speaker 1: myself to just slow down. You know what I think?
Speaker 1: I go like, where am I rushing too? This isn't
Speaker 1: going anywhere even when you're driving, and you have road rage.
Speaker 1: And I think that's important too, because people do make
Speaker 1: a lot of I stopped that five years ago. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't really have road rage anymore because I have
Speaker 1: to always tell myself, worst case scenario, I'll be a
Speaker 1: little late, killing each other down. That's why I don't
Speaker 1: do road radio. They'll kill you for cutting woolf Well,
Speaker 1: and if you could ever catch yourself, like in the mirror,
Speaker 1: having some road rage, you're like, this is so lame.
Speaker 1: This looks pathetic. You know, Oh, I am not yelling
Speaker 1: at myself. I'm the only one who can hear somebody think, yeah, stupid.
Speaker 1: I love one twelve. That's my favorite chapter in the
Speaker 1: whole book, where a desire. Yeah, you know you talk
Speaker 1: about John F. Kennedy and you say a person enslave
Speaker 1: to their urges is not free. Whether our president, Yeah,
Speaker 1: can you talk a lot about John F. Kennedy and
Speaker 1: how he would treat people and react in situations. Yeah, so,
Speaker 1: on the one hand, Kennedy is great right in the
Speaker 1: Cuban missile crisis, it's all about self controlled discipline. But
Speaker 1: also he cheated on his wife during the Thirteen Days,
Speaker 1: like instead of being home with his family the world
Speaker 1: is about to end, He's like, let me hook up
Speaker 1: with a college girl. That's not that's not power, that's slavery,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like that guy is not
Speaker 1: in control of himself. That's what addiction looks like. And
Speaker 1: and eventually, like we think we can keep those spears
Speaker 1: of our life separate, right, Like I think Tiger Woods
Speaker 1: is a great example of this, Like best golfer in
Speaker 1: the history of the game, maybe one of the best
Speaker 1: athletes of all time. And he thought, well, but over here,
Speaker 1: I can be in chaos and I can do bad things.
Speaker 1: But eventually they crash into each other and one destroyed
Speaker 1: the other. For a decade, he lost a decade of
Speaker 1: being the best in the world because couldn't check his desires.
Speaker 1: And so you want to go, like, if I actually
Speaker 1: get this, you don't think about like how it's gonna
Speaker 1: feel having sex. You think about that period right after
Speaker 1: you have it, you're the guilty, you know, the lying
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have to do a significant other. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so you can flash forward, you go, Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't need this. This is my mind lying to
Speaker 1: me saying that this is gonna be amazing and it
Speaker 1: won't be. What I found an interesting about that chapter though,
Speaker 1: like Jeff Kate that that desire was passed down to
Speaker 1: him from his father from yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta work,
Speaker 1: like yeah, he had a father who cheated on his wife.
Speaker 1: He had a father who told him nurse grudges. He
Speaker 1: had a father who told him like, you can get
Speaker 1: away with whatever you want, and so we can pick
Speaker 1: up bad habits from our childhood, and that you got
Speaker 1: to do that work, because what happens is you get
Speaker 1: from your dad or whatever that like your only powerful,
Speaker 1: you're only a man if you do X, Y and Z,
Speaker 1: And that's not true, and so you got to be
Speaker 1: constantly checking those assumptions absolutely well still, this is the
Speaker 1: key is out right now, yes, and all that good
Speaker 1: stuff right at Ryan Holliday, Also, I got you something.
Speaker 1: We're talking about Russian This is a this is a
Speaker 1: ring I wear, but I think you'd like it. Mento Mori.
Speaker 1: I got one for you too, Mento mori. Right, so
Speaker 1: we're talking about like where am I rushing towards? But
Speaker 1: we're rushing towards his death. Right, we all die. So
Speaker 1: let's slow it. Let's slow it down. I don't need
Speaker 1: to get through this interview to go on to the
Speaker 1: next one. I don't need to get my change, Like
Speaker 1: every moment is a moment. Yeah, one of the one
Speaker 1: of the quotes that changed my life Seneca. He said,
Speaker 1: like death is not in the future. Every second that
Speaker 1: passes belongs to death. Right, Like, so as things are passing,
Speaker 1: as you're rushing through life because you think you're dying,
Speaker 1: like we're dying, we're dying. Stop looking forward to the
Speaker 1: weekend right now, look forward to look forward to enjoying
Speaker 1: this whatever is, even if it's stuck in traffic, even
Speaker 1: if it's bad weather. It's like, because this is it,
Speaker 1: this literally might be it. It could be the last thing. Baby.
Speaker 1: All the time people be rushing like are you in
Speaker 1: the rusted die? Why are you speeding for? Exactly saying
Speaker 1: what are you walking for? After all? And like what's
Speaker 1: the point. Yeah, like, slow down, slow down, enjoy it,
Speaker 1: make the most of it, and be be present. Right
Speaker 1: when if you're worried about the past, Sorry, if you're
Speaker 1: dwelling on the past or you're worried about the future,
Speaker 1: what you're not doing is seizing and getting the most
Speaker 1: out of whatever. This moment is work. This is the
Speaker 1: key is out right now? Well man, Ryan Holiday, it's
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club morning. Everybody is DJ mv Angela, Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: good morning, Happy Monday, everybody, that's right, Happy Monday, now, Cholo.
Speaker 1: When you were out in Atlanta for Tyler Perry's opening, right,
Speaker 1: I was man dropping a clues box for Tyler Perry.
Speaker 1: What happened this weekend is something you really can't describe.
Speaker 1: It's something you had to experience. You know. First of all,
Speaker 1: it wasn't lost on media historical significance of what Tyler
Speaker 1: Perry has done. Man, a black man literally has his
Speaker 1: own studio that's bigger than all the other Hollywood studios
Speaker 1: and it's in black ass Atlanta. Okay, we have all
Speaker 1: these conversations about blacker than combined, right, Yes, biging than combined. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we have all ex. Three hundred and thirty two eight
Speaker 1: because we have all of these conversations about black ownership
Speaker 1: and building our own Tyler has done that in a
Speaker 1: way that I didn't even think was possible. Like I've
Speaker 1: never thought of the possibility of a black man owning
Speaker 1: his own studio. It seems like the Ball for so
Speaker 1: long has always been like a production company. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You produce your shows, produce you to films.
Speaker 1: But Tyler is forcing everybody to dream bigger, and he
Speaker 1: shows you that the possibilities are limitless as long as
Speaker 1: you dare, as long as you don't limit your dreams.
Speaker 1: That's that's all he kept saying over and over, like
Speaker 1: I just want you all to dream bigger, Dream bigger,
Speaker 1: dream bigger. So it was just an incredible weekend, man, Like,
Speaker 1: don't get caught up into who was there, Like pay
Speaker 1: attention to the historical significance of what what this actually is. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I always have been supportive of Tyler Perry in
Speaker 1: his movies. I know people have criticized him a lot,
Speaker 1: Oh I definitely, But just the fact, just the fact
Speaker 1: that he was able to get himself to the position
Speaker 1: that he's in from doing from being homeless to doing
Speaker 1: the plays to making them into movies, making sure that
Speaker 1: black people get work, make sure that that's an amazing
Speaker 1: story in and of itself, and having these human stories that,
Speaker 1: no matter what ratio, why people can relate to. And
Speaker 1: he did it about being unapologetically black and unapologetically catering
Speaker 1: two black people. You know what I'm saying. He actually
Speaker 1: did everything in Hollywood they tried to tell you not
Speaker 1: to do. They want you to be mainstreaming, they want
Speaker 1: you to cater to white people, and you know, nah,
Speaker 1: he did. He did it by being unapologetic black and
Speaker 1: catering to his own people. And I could never understand
Speaker 1: why people used to go in on him like that's directors.
Speaker 1: Why if if you're critiquing the art, like all art
Speaker 1: can be critiqued like that, they would go in on
Speaker 1: him like he was setting black people back, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: how is that? Well, I'll tell you what. One of
Speaker 1: those people that went in on him, man Tyler Perry,
Speaker 1: I mean, named the sound stage after him and Spike Lee.
Speaker 1: Spike Lee got his own sound stage, and I was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: that's big Listen, I haven't got to that level of
Speaker 1: forgiveness in my life yet, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: But some people are better off than me, and Tyler
Speaker 1: Perry is clearly wanted. And when it comes to the
Speaker 1: forgiveness aspect of things, absolutely, And I think when you're
Speaker 1: successful in doing really well, it's a lot easier to
Speaker 1: forgive you like, well, I'm happy, I'm blessed, no reason
Speaker 1: to have any correct Yeah, I don't think that's the case,
Speaker 1: because I think I gotta be a little pettier. But hey,
Speaker 1: I think I think actually being successful makes you can
Speaker 1: you can get somebody, ask the kids even more. I
Speaker 1: don't need you burn that bridge that just burnt by.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You have to work with somebody,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying you cannot. Really, I think forgiveness is easier.
Speaker 1: And when things are going great, well, I just like
Speaker 1: the fact that he gavesly it sounds because Spike Lee
Speaker 1: is very deserved. And you know, even though those brothers
Speaker 1: may have had a difference in the opinion back in
Speaker 1: the day on certain things, they all grown now they've
Speaker 1: evolved and drop on the clues. Martha Talipray and the
Speaker 1: brunch on Sunday, the Bishop TD Jakes gave a sermon,
Speaker 1: Lord have mercy, My God, Bishop td Jakes gave a
Speaker 1: sermon about catfish. And if you wasn't there, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and tell you. Maybe he'll release it
Speaker 1: online one day, but boy, catfish keep you fresh. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna tell y'all. Okay, And sometimes you gotta
Speaker 1: let your storm get you to your destination. You don't
Speaker 1: even gotta stay the wheel, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Let God guide that ship and you Linda Adams performed
Speaker 1: at the brunch and the Clock Sisters and Smokey Novel,
Speaker 1: Lord have mercy. Are you feeling good? You feel you
Speaker 1: feel really great? I had. I had a great weekend.
Speaker 1: That was a great date date date weekend. Did you
Speaker 1: gotta be a woife? No? I didn't get to go
Speaker 1: to the bt A wards man. I wanted to go,
Speaker 1: but you know, performing performing I thought you wouldn't do
Speaker 1: a Black Mandow cheat. We had some plans, but you know,
Speaker 1: time didn't permit because they only gave him a certain
Speaker 1: amount of time to do a certain records, so it
Speaker 1: wouldn't have made no sense. Plus I you know I
Speaker 1: was invited to the talent everything. Okay, So all right,
Speaker 1: now we got rumors on the way. Y yes, I
Speaker 1: talk about Kanye West and Sunday service. He did his
Speaker 1: Sunday service in Salt Lake City and has some things
Speaker 1: to say in support of Donald Trump. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: get into that next. Keep a locktics to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Gyee
Speaker 1: Schela mean the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Let's
Speaker 1: get to the rooms to talk Kanye Lien. Just Ohla
Speaker 1: Gossum reports with Angela Angela. It's the rum report for
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Well, Kanye West did is Sunday service
Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City and he talked about the Republican
Speaker 1: Party and how they freed the slaves and how he
Speaker 1: supports Donald Trump. Here's what he had to say. Technically,
Speaker 1: Kanye is not wrong, but he's leaving out a lot
Speaker 1: of that story. It's very long time ago that Republican pan.
Speaker 1: It's very important to note that the Republican Party's values
Speaker 1: were totally different back then, and after nineteen twelve of
Speaker 1: the party underwinning ideological shift to the right, and after
Speaker 1: the Civil rightsack and after the voting right Jack, that's
Speaker 1: when the core base shifted and those racists in the
Speaker 1: South became more Republican. Okay. So he goes on to
Speaker 1: talk about social media and says, do not read the
Speaker 1: comments on the internet. Those people don't know you like
Speaker 1: that social media, it's designed to make you think slower.
Speaker 1: They went to slow you down and control you. I
Speaker 1: agree with that. He goes on to talk about criminal
Speaker 1: justice reform and how there's one in three African Americans
Speaker 1: in jail in this country, and then he did Jesus
Speaker 1: Walks and there was about seven to ten thousand people
Speaker 1: out there. That album, Jesus's King was supposed to come
Speaker 1: out last week or what happened, and then was supposed
Speaker 1: to come out on Sunday. I'm not sure what's going on,
Speaker 1: but uh, I guess sometime soon it can shut. I
Speaker 1: think they said, oh, I think an album like that,
Speaker 1: it may not come when you call, but it should
Speaker 1: always be on time. So you know, all ry, Well,
Speaker 1: since you say that, let's talk about jar Rule. He
Speaker 1: was on Watch What Happens Live and he is saying
Speaker 1: that he just wants to move past all of this
Speaker 1: fifty cent drama. We've been having this ongoing feud now
Speaker 1: for like I don't know, so it seems like fifteen years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that, and I think it's time that we've grown
Speaker 1: past it. You do, I am removing myself, oh boy,
Speaker 1: from the circus, okay, because because what I what I've realized,
Speaker 1: when you entertain clowns, you become a part of the circus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's not gonna work. That was a little dig now.
Speaker 1: Of course, Andy Cohen asked him to say three nice
Speaker 1: things about fifty, and that didn't go well. Either, he's
Speaker 1: a bad father. He uh, ideally like a big square
Speaker 1: like box headed. Oh I and one more thing? One
Speaker 1: then what else can I say? Now? Oh? He looks like,
Speaker 1: oh okay. I actually thought that this was gonna be something. Well,
Speaker 1: there goes. That was all right. Well, besides just talking
Speaker 1: about fifty, they also discussed other things like Ashanti was
Speaker 1: she's singing for j Loo and that whole reference track situation.
Speaker 1: So he cleared that up. Is it true that Ashanti
Speaker 1: song Jlo's vocals in the beginning of her career? No,
Speaker 1: that's not true. Let me clear this story up. So
Speaker 1: I wrote I'm real for Jennifer Lopez, and I sung
Speaker 1: the original version of it as a reference. Okay, but
Speaker 1: I sound terrible of course on the reference. So Ashanti
Speaker 1: then sung the reference for Jennifer Lopez, and when they
Speaker 1: mixed down a record left some of the vocals underneath.
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me how people love to hear those
Speaker 1: old hip hop stories. It's interesting. I like hearing them too.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I don't know that. That was very interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why it is a story, you know. That's why
Speaker 1: watching Angie Martinez a show on we TV, the untoll stories,
Speaker 1: and how people love that to hear those stories they
Speaker 1: never heard before. All right, Now, Tiffany Hattis has said
Speaker 1: that she is going to set some boundaries moving forward.
Speaker 1: She's been very open about her public life and talking
Speaker 1: about things, but she posted a video on YouTube the
Speaker 1: ten things you should always keep to yourself, and amongst
Speaker 1: those things is the biggest goals that you have good deeds,
Speaker 1: you've done, your personal life, your wealth, your life, philosophy,
Speaker 1: family problems, other people's secrets, fears, weaknesses, resentment about the
Speaker 1: past and your talents, and so she's been taking notes
Speaker 1: on some of those things, and she tweeted out after
Speaker 1: watching this video. I'm going to be a different type
Speaker 1: of entertainer. I am done being an open book. Sorry, world,
Speaker 1: no more raw entertainment from me. And she said, but
Speaker 1: if you do me wrong, everyone will know. So just
Speaker 1: know that that will still happen. If you do her wrong,
Speaker 1: we can be public about that. And she also said
Speaker 1: that a couple of things recently could spark some feathers,
Speaker 1: but she said, there's some things that I might have
Speaker 1: said or did two weeks ago that might hit the fan,
Speaker 1: but all truth. So I am not chipping. That's it.
Speaker 1: I am no longer helping scrape some of my boots

Speaker 1: to come to the front of the congregation. His name
Speaker 1: is John Es Castronachus. We'd like to talk to listen
Speaker 1: name again. I don't know. I'm not trying to repeat
Speaker 1: it again. My tongue hurts. All right, it's the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning. Make sure you're telling them to watch out
Speaker 1: for Florida. The craziest people in America come from the
Speaker 1: Bronx in all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey,
Speaker 1: a Florida man, a chap and ATM for a very
Speaker 1: strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man
Speaker 1: is arrestiped if to definitely stay. He's rigged the door
Speaker 1: to his home and an attempt to electric kate his
Speaker 1: pregnant wife. Police arrested in Orlando man for talking a
Speaker 1: Flaminia to breakfast club bitchy Charlom Hay the guy yea
Speaker 1: on the white, y'all keep letting him get y'all yes, donkey.
Speaker 1: Today for Monday, October seventh, goes to Judge John Skrastras Castronachus, Castronachus,
Speaker 1: I think I pronounced that he's a judge in this
Speaker 1: city called West Palm Beach. West Palm Beaches, a city
Speaker 1: in the state called Florida. You know what I'm outside.
Speaker 1: People come up to me and tell me to be
Speaker 1: easy on Florida. They say to me, Florida folks, not
Speaker 1: that crazy. But there's nothing you all can do to
Speaker 1: prove that to me. Because we have eyes, we have ears,
Speaker 1: we can read, we see and hear everything that comes
Speaker 1: out of the Sunshine State. And every day there is
Speaker 1: a story that proves the craziest people in America come
Speaker 1: from the Bronx and all the Florida. There is no
Speaker 1: debate here. And today we have you had another story
Speaker 1: that proves this point. Now they're the young twenty one
Speaker 1: year old man out there named DeAndre Somerville dropping a
Speaker 1: clues bum for DeAndre Somerville man. Okay, he got called
Speaker 1: to do something that we all hate to be called
Speaker 1: to do, and that's jury duty. When the last time
Speaker 1: you had jury du the envy. I keep getting the
Speaker 1: qualified for jury du past. What about you too because
Speaker 1: of your past? Yeah, okay, I said, damn line, I
Speaker 1: don't know what they're speaking about when I speak about
Speaker 1: my past. I wish I didn't have any felonies. I
Speaker 1: really do. When I was young filling our job applications,
Speaker 1: I used to hate when I got to that part
Speaker 1: because I for sure I thought those feelings would keep
Speaker 1: me from getting high at certain places, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: it did. But I never focused on the nas because
Speaker 1: I was too busy getting yeses. And I was happy
Speaker 1: about that. But having felonies is still not a good feeling.
Speaker 1: But the one time no felonies came in Andy was
Speaker 1: when I got called for jury duty back in the day. Okay,
Speaker 1: I've only been called once, thank god. But I was
Speaker 1: in the courtroom and they asked the question, does anyone
Speaker 1: in here have felonies or something to that effect, and
Speaker 1: I threw my hand in the air quickt into Kashi
Speaker 1: sixty nine says he did it all right. Then the
Speaker 1: judge asked you to approach the bench, and he asked
Speaker 1: me what my felonies were, and I said, loudly and
Speaker 1: proudly assaulting battery, if attempt to kill, point to presenting
Speaker 1: the firearm and distribution of marijuana. I was dismissed. Okay,
Speaker 1: what were yours? Envy? Mine was reduced to petty lars
Speaker 1: evydd the judge yes, okay. DeAndre Soonville didn't have the
Speaker 1: felonies dead we have, and in fact he had a
Speaker 1: completely clean record, so he had no felonies to use
Speaker 1: to get out of jury duties. He had another excuse.
Speaker 1: It's not really an excuse because these things happened. But
Speaker 1: DeAndre did indeed miss jewurry duty. Now, what happened to
Speaker 1: people when they missed jury duty? I have never thought
Speaker 1: about it, Okay, never heard of anyone missing it. All
Speaker 1: ever heard is people not wanting to go. Okay, But
Speaker 1: it's understandable that things happened. People get I think people
Speaker 1: get an accidents. In the case of DeAndre, he overslept. Okay,
Speaker 1: some people can't leave their jobs and he would rather
Speaker 1: go to work. They rather skip jury duty and make
Speaker 1: sure they go to work and they keep their jobs.
Speaker 1: So I don't see the issue. Well. Judge John S
Speaker 1: Castrnakus from Florida clearly didn't like the fact that DeAndrea
Speaker 1: was slept in miss jury duty, So how did he respond?
Speaker 1: Let's go to ABC news Good Morning America for the
Speaker 1: report police a man who overslapped when he was supposed
Speaker 1: to be serving jury duty paid for it with a
Speaker 1: jail sentence. DeAndre Somerville asked that judge to reconsider his
Speaker 1: sentence after spending ten days behind bars for missing that
Speaker 1: jay of jury duty, and DeAndre says jury duty was
Speaker 1: the first time he ever set foot in a courthouse.
Speaker 1: Twenty one year old DeAndre Somerville was sworn in as
Speaker 1: a juror for a civil case in August. He was
Speaker 1: scheduled to appear the next morning, but says he missed
Speaker 1: his alarm and overslept. Rather than heading to the courthouse
Speaker 1: or alerting the bailiff, Somerville went to work, not knowing
Speaker 1: there would be major repercussions. The presiding judge, John castronachus
Speaker 1: Saide's absence delayed the trial by forty five minutes. The
Speaker 1: judge originally sentence Somerville to ten days behind bars, one
Speaker 1: year of probation, one hundred and fifty hours of community service,
Speaker 1: and a two hundred and twenty three dollars fine. Come
Speaker 1: on the judge Castronachus is now reducing the probation to
Speaker 1: three months, and the judge called this a classic example
Speaker 1: of good people making bad mistakes. He's now considering expunging
Speaker 1: the contempt of court charge from Somerville's record. One of
Speaker 1: the conditions for that Summerville will now have to give
Speaker 1: speeches to potential jurors about the importance of jury duty.
Speaker 1: All of that because the twenty one year old man
Speaker 1: with no criminal record overslept for jury duty ten days
Speaker 1: in jail, one hundred and fifty hole the community service
Speaker 1: originally a year of probation reduced three months, and you
Speaker 1: have to show up every week to give a ten
Speaker 1: minute discussion about the importance the jury duty. What is
Speaker 1: that discussion going to be like? You should show up
Speaker 1: the jury duty so they don't lock your black ass up?
Speaker 1: Okay now? Judge John s Crnachus was asked why such
Speaker 1: a harsh sentence? You know? Would you like to hear
Speaker 1: what he said? When asked why did he give DeAndre
Speaker 1: such a hard sentence? Listene was only an a and
Speaker 1: represented a very word section of our community. Not correct
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, but Deandre's race shouldn't factor into
Speaker 1: this case because when being a juror, no bias is allowed.
Speaker 1: Right like gender, race, religion, sexuality, none of those things
Speaker 1: is supposed to factor in when you are a juror. Right,
Speaker 1: that's a terrible like. You have to be objective. I
Speaker 1: thought and listen to the facts of the case to
Speaker 1: come to a decision. Correct me if I'm wrong. A
Speaker 1: lot of people are listen to the breakfast club are
Speaker 1: in the law. Y'all know. I'm not the highest grade
Speaker 1: of weed in the dispensary, but I would think a
Speaker 1: juror's race shouldn't matter. The only time a juror is
Speaker 1: race matters is when the juror is black and the
Speaker 1: judge looks at black people with disgust. Okay, in a
Speaker 1: very poor light. I'm not going to go so far
Speaker 1: as to say the judges are racist, but I think
Speaker 1: if we ask Judge John asked why he gave DeAndrea
Speaker 1: a hard sentence, he could have just responded with this,
Speaker 1: mister Sille was to stop. That's it. I threw the
Speaker 1: book at him because he was the only African American there.
Speaker 1: There's no other reason. Okay, well, the only other reason
Speaker 1: is that you know he's from Florida. Please let Chelsea
Speaker 1: Handler give Judge John as Castro Nakas the biggest he
Speaker 1: haw he haw, he haw. That is way too much,
Speaker 1: Dan maynez Am I missing something here. Nope. Ten days
Speaker 1: in jail, a year of probation, one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: years of community service. I think is that not a
Speaker 1: little too hard? It's completely biased and really hard. And
Speaker 1: even the judge saying because he was the only African
Speaker 1: American enerjury. I mean, I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong
Speaker 1: about jury, dude. I thought jury. I thought jurors had
Speaker 1: to be like objective, like, yes, you're not supposed to
Speaker 1: have some type of bias at this point, even though
Speaker 1: it's not. Everybody has natural bias. You're not supposed to
Speaker 1: because what would him being black have to do with
Speaker 1: this situation? Now, let me ask you a question, Charlomagne. Yes,
Speaker 1: if you had a friend right that never reported the
Speaker 1: jury duty, right, what would you advise him to do?
Speaker 1: Many of my business? I agree with that? Do you
Speaker 1: agree with that? All? Right? Well, who don't go to jury, dudy.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming Angeli. By the way, this conversation just went,
Speaker 1: you're snitching on her. I mean the way you said
Speaker 1: I said I had a friend herself. I didn't say
Speaker 1: it was you. You just said I didn't defend myself.
Speaker 1: I just agreed. You keep getting out of duty. Who you?
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about that. I'm definitely ready to
Speaker 1: serve your community. Yes, absolutely, all right, good all right,
Speaker 1: y'all will miss me if I'm not a weary all right,
Speaker 1: up next Latham Thomas will be joining us lathanas we'll
Speaker 1: talk to Hunt and my wife used what we used
Speaker 1: Lathon for for our third daughter. She's a doula. Yes,
Speaker 1: all right, so we'll kick it when we come back.
Speaker 1: Don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the
Speaker 1: building in Latham Thomas. Welcome. Hey, y'all. I mean you
Speaker 1: kind of have the same job. Yeah, and then you
Speaker 1: are not a dula relaxed. Okay, that's training that goes
Speaker 1: into that in a hospital though. Yeah, I know you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying with medication and correct. But welcome,
Speaker 1: thank you, it's nice to see you all. Thank you
Speaker 1: for having me back. We missed um. Black Breastfeeding Week.
Speaker 1: What's it called? Yeah, there's Black Freastfeeding Week was in
Speaker 1: August Breastfeeding Week, Yes, the twenty fifth to August thirty first.
Speaker 1: What was that about. Well, it's really about affirming the
Speaker 1: specific experiences that African American women have in the challenges
Speaker 1: we have around breastfeeding in our history with breastfeeding, but
Speaker 1: also self determination and showing that this is a time
Speaker 1: that we can reclaim our bodies as sacred and really
Speaker 1: lean into these practices that are not only good for
Speaker 1: our health but our ancestral And we know that like
Speaker 1: our people were breastfeeding and were nursing this nation, and
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of historical trauma bound in breastfeeding
Speaker 1: as well. So it's a way to address that, but
Speaker 1: also to address some of the systemic challenges we have
Speaker 1: around it as well, and some of the policy gaps.
Speaker 1: I sell your post too where you were talking about
Speaker 1: slavery and how you know our African American sisters who
Speaker 1: are impregnated and then for us to feed the master's
Speaker 1: baby while our own baby starved. Yeah, yeah, so I
Speaker 1: mean if you think about that type of trauma that
Speaker 1: gets passed down, right, we know that intergenerational trauma is real. Right,
Speaker 1: We're starting to see this, and I love that you
Speaker 1: guys have taken this stance on really looking at trauma
Speaker 1: and our communities and embracing pathways to healing, including therapy,
Speaker 1: and we know there's meditation. We know we have so
Speaker 1: many tools as people of color, but a lot of
Speaker 1: them we don't lean into. A lot of them have
Speaker 1: been seen as like, you know, not as good as
Speaker 1: other practices, right, because they're not necessarily evidence based, right,
Speaker 1: And so what we need to lean into our healing practices,
Speaker 1: I think, to reclaim this period for ourselves, and especially
Speaker 1: because you know, motherhood is such a powerful time and
Speaker 1: parenthood in general. Right, it's such a powerful time in
Speaker 1: people's lives and it really changes your life. Right, But
Speaker 1: if it's bound in trauma, then we're passing that down, right.
Speaker 1: And the womb is a first environment, So whatever your
Speaker 1: baby's exposed to, whatever energy they're marinating, and for that
Speaker 1: like forty weeks is also going to you know, turn
Speaker 1: on certain gene expressions when they you know, when they arrive, right.
Speaker 1: And you talk about how when white women are breastfeeding
Speaker 1: is seen as empowering and when black women do it,
Speaker 1: it's like anthropologies or it's like you know, it's seen
Speaker 1: as different, maybe like not as wholesome. I think now
Speaker 1: with the tools of like social media, right, like people
Speaker 1: get to express themselves and you get to see different
Speaker 1: lenses on an experience that was taken away from us.
Speaker 1: And so I feel like, right now, so many women
Speaker 1: are sharing but also not just publicly but like in
Speaker 1: you know, on social media, but in public spaces right
Speaker 1: like being in the subway and breastfeeding or being uptown.
Speaker 1: I see women now they're like, oh, asking questions, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, I'm so glad they're asking these questions
Speaker 1: because it wasn't passed down generationally. And we see this
Speaker 1: in like UM black and LATINX communities UM so often,
Speaker 1: and so we are under resource. But we also are
Speaker 1: the people who were doing it the most, but need
Speaker 1: and our breastfeeding in the least now, so it's really
Speaker 1: time for us to pick that back up. At what
Speaker 1: age should UM Usually kids stop breastfeeding, So it really depends.
Speaker 1: Like the World Health Organization UM recommends that UM baby's
Speaker 1: breastfeeds at least till year old, but the world average
Speaker 1: is like five years old. Five years Yeah, so a
Speaker 1: lot of people are it's all everything in school. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and her child's almost four. Yeah. I rest spent till
Speaker 1: my son was three. He was definitely able to do,
Speaker 1: like he was riding a bike almost he was going
Speaker 1: into preschool and I was like, um, can we like
Speaker 1: have a conversation about this. He was making dinner. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he would do a lot. But also there was not
Speaker 1: the so there was a social stigma, like from people.
Speaker 1: But I didn't have it from like social media, right,
Speaker 1: And I think that would have been different, like if
Speaker 1: you're posting pictures and people are like, you know, shaming you.
Speaker 1: So I didn't have that. I just had it from
Speaker 1: my immediate peers or family members who were like, girl,
Speaker 1: you need to put that baby down. But my son's
Speaker 1: health is like impeccable. That's what they said. The longer
Speaker 1: you breastfeed, it has a lot more benefits. When it
Speaker 1: comes say, yes, they never get sick because there's immune
Speaker 1: factor that's passed down. And for people who don't know,
Speaker 1: you know, the first eighteen months of life, babies get
Speaker 1: passive immunity from their mothers. So all the things that
Speaker 1: all the antibodies that their mothers have built up in
Speaker 1: their lifetime are passed down to the baby while they're breastfeeding,
Speaker 1: So that means that also another beautiful thing about it
Speaker 1: is that when you're when the mother, when the baby
Speaker 1: gets exposed to any pathogens, the mother will take a
Speaker 1: sampling of that and actually passed antibodies back through the
Speaker 1: breast milk to the baby so every time, so the
Speaker 1: baby doesn't get sick most of the time. And so
Speaker 1: that's so great for people, especially in communities where we
Speaker 1: don't have access to quality medical care, or we can't
Speaker 1: get to hospitals, or we can't we don't have insurance.
Speaker 1: This is like a way to safeguard our baby's health
Speaker 1: and minimize the amount of doctor visits and ear infections
Speaker 1: and things like that. Yeah, because I don't have kids,
Speaker 1: but when I saw that picture of Coco and people
Speaker 1: like going in, I would like, let me go look
Speaker 1: this up and see about it. And that's when I
Speaker 1: learned that it is a lot of benefits to yes
Speaker 1: feeding in continuing that on past the two year mark. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean if you can, right and we know that,
Speaker 1: like we think about it, it sounds easy and it
Speaker 1: sounds great, but then you think about Okay, one fourth
Speaker 1: of all women go back to work ten days after
Speaker 1: giving birth in this country, which is like, I mean everything,
Speaker 1: like you're still it's a lot going on, right, So
Speaker 1: you're not even recovered in six weeks is a normal
Speaker 1: recovery period. So you figure you go to ten days in,
Speaker 1: there's not time for bonding, there's not time to establish
Speaker 1: a milk supply. So it's really challenging for a lot
Speaker 1: of people. And so even though we say like, yes,
Speaker 1: you should, you should go, you know, for a year
Speaker 1: at least, it's like figuring out what are the systemic
Speaker 1: barriers of people being able to actually do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: did you see the couple that was seven years old
Speaker 1: that gave birth somebody? Yeah, I think within India or
Speaker 1: something another country. It was another country. I think I
Speaker 1: did see something about that. Um, I mean I think
Speaker 1: it was an egg that she had and play. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember exactly how it let me look it up.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I just think about chasing behind a
Speaker 1: two year old like and they many years now in
Speaker 1: the hospital. Yeah. No, I mean I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: when if we're bringing kids into the world, it's great
Speaker 1: if you can look after them. Yourselves. It's a great
Speaker 1: fear of community. But I don't know, I just think
Speaker 1: about myself when I think about having another baby, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I'm not even you know, forty yet,
Speaker 1: I'm on my way, but I'm like, I would be
Speaker 1: so exhausted chasing behind a baby at that age. I
Speaker 1: can't even imagine if you Because there's there's a lot
Speaker 1: of women like see Tamman Hall at forty eight, which
Speaker 1: is amazing, Which is great, Yes, Kenya Moore, we see
Speaker 1: women that I yes, they're having babies later in life
Speaker 1: because you know, there's a stigma with that too, Right,
Speaker 1: just like we have a stigma for young women having babies,
Speaker 1: we have it for what we consider older or geriatric
Speaker 1: right this quote unquote and so um, I think it's
Speaker 1: great that people are saying, hey, you know, I've established
Speaker 1: my life and where I want to be, and now
Speaker 1: I'm choosing to have a family because many of us,
Speaker 1: we don't get the opportunity to really plan. Right, It's
Speaker 1: like you just found out you were pregnant. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I guess we having a baby. Or some people make
Speaker 1: it work. We're making it work, or it's the ambivalence.
Speaker 1: You get pregnant, you're like, I don't know, or you might.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people like with abortion and loss,
Speaker 1: like it's very common. So it's like, you know, to
Speaker 1: be able to choose and intentionally and have your partner
Speaker 1: and your setup, that's like a maze. To be financially good. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: this is you know, a great time, and it's fantastic
Speaker 1: to do it conscientiously right and and be able to prepare.
Speaker 1: I think that's always great. It's not always common, but
Speaker 1: if we can get there, that's great. All right. We
Speaker 1: have well with Latham Thomas. When we come back, don't move.
Speaker 1: It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning, Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still
Speaker 1: kicking it with Latham Thomas. White percentages for African American
Speaker 1: women dying after birth so high. So a couple of things.
Speaker 1: Number One, the CDC just received just released a report
Speaker 1: like two weeks ago saying that the rates have actually increased.
Speaker 1: So when I was here last the rates were that
Speaker 1: Black women were three to four times more likely to
Speaker 1: die during childbirth. The duty to child work for latter causes.
Speaker 1: And now it's four to five times than white women, yes,
Speaker 1: and that's nationally, but New York City it's like twelve
Speaker 1: times higher. And so this is like there's a bunch
Speaker 1: of things. The sort of larger lens that we take
Speaker 1: is looking at systemic racism and bias in these spaces,
Speaker 1: neglect the fact that like the medical system has been
Speaker 1: steeped in a culture, a patriarchy and supremacy and has
Speaker 1: a lot of outdated practices that have not been addressed.
Speaker 1: And so when somebody goes in to deliver their baby
Speaker 1: and they say they're in pain or they're experiencing something
Speaker 1: that maybe indicative of some sort of type of illness,
Speaker 1: then they're dating dismissed instead of treated. Or if they
Speaker 1: have something like pre eclampsia, which is associated with high
Speaker 1: blood pressure right, which is pregnancy and duce hypertension, if
Speaker 1: they have that, but like they have swelling, they have
Speaker 1: all the signs, but then they're sent home. They can
Speaker 1: have seizures, they can go into shock. They could also
Speaker 1: lose their babies, right, And so this happens more often
Speaker 1: than not that people don't catch a lot of the
Speaker 1: basic health risks because also they like a lot of
Speaker 1: women report that they are going to the hospital and
Speaker 1: are going to their doctors and getting care, but they're
Speaker 1: not getting the type of concern for their needs. And
Speaker 1: also if you're in pain and you're perceived as not
Speaker 1: being in pain, right because black women are seen to
Speaker 1: be able to tolerate more pain, then it's like, why
Speaker 1: would I give you an epidural, Why would I give you,
Speaker 1: you know, anesthesia, Why would I give you an aalogesic
Speaker 1: if you don't really if I don't perceive that you
Speaker 1: need it, right, So it's like you're being dismissed in
Speaker 1: any ways. And now what's been so great in light
Speaker 1: of all this reporting? Like New York Times did a
Speaker 1: big piece that was seminal, in ProPublica did a big piece,
Speaker 1: and then it starts to become part of the consciousness.
Speaker 1: You guys have brought it into the public sphere as well.
Speaker 1: And I think one of the big pieces is folks
Speaker 1: showing like their actual experiences, they'll go viral. That's the
Speaker 1: main reason I don't want to have any kids anymore
Speaker 1: because my second daughter, what was the thing you should like?
Speaker 1: I think my wife had that. Yeah, so there was
Speaker 1: an emergency section. Yeah, we had to had to maybe
Speaker 1: at eight months. And then my third daughter, same thing.
Speaker 1: We's in the hospital and they just like, oh, we
Speaker 1: don't have any more anesthesia, Like how you don't have
Speaker 1: no door. I'm sorry, yeah, I don't have any more.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't have any webpadors. Yeah, she can
Speaker 1: push it out, like what, And I'm like you saying,
Speaker 1: we got resources, we got money, We're in a good hospital.
Speaker 1: They just she's black. She can shoot it out, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, We're not having no more
Speaker 1: kids after this. Yeah, I see, But that should not
Speaker 1: be experienced right like she should have. And even if
Speaker 1: the outcome was great, right, which it was, it matters
Speaker 1: how she recalls the experience. It matters what she felt,
Speaker 1: what she was meant to feel in that moment. She
Speaker 1: did not feel empowered when she asked for something and
Speaker 1: she's met with, oh, you can just handle it, right,
Speaker 1: And she was happy that she could push it out
Speaker 1: thanks to Lathan. Yeah, because she had a C section
Speaker 1: the second time, and they tell you that you can't
Speaker 1: have a you can only have another C section, you
Speaker 1: can have a valid delivery after that, but she did
Speaker 1: because of Lathan. But in this country. We use the most,
Speaker 1: we have the most resources allocated to maternal health, but
Speaker 1: we're fifty fifth in all developed countries in terms of
Speaker 1: maternal deaths. So it's like we're spending the most money,
Speaker 1: just like military, we spend the most money in the
Speaker 1: war machine. But like look at you know, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: So it's it's really like something to be thinking about, like, really,
Speaker 1: how do we look at women and how do we
Speaker 1: prioritize women and will not talk about this. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about an entire lens of a woman's experience, right, because
Speaker 1: we know reproductive life cycle includes men sees and bleeding,
Speaker 1: right when your daughters get their periods, when we get
Speaker 1: our periods at first you know, pregnancy, abortion and loss,
Speaker 1: breastfeeding and birth obviously, and then metal pause. So we
Speaker 1: have to fight for every single aspect and not just
Speaker 1: center the movement around just abortion right now, because if
Speaker 1: it's not safe for you know, black women to give birth,
Speaker 1: and we're we're putting at the top of the feminist
Speaker 1: agenda just the fight for reproductive rights, we need to
Speaker 1: be focused on reproductive justice, like what does that look
Speaker 1: like as an entire continuum and making sure that everybody
Speaker 1: is served, and that we're specifically focusing on the most
Speaker 1: marginalized people, which we know are women of color. First,
Speaker 1: what are some of the misconceptions about pregnancy? Because one,
Speaker 1: and this is crazy, exactly five kids. I used to
Speaker 1: think that my wife couldn't work out, like you know,
Speaker 1: you don't want to work out, you don't use ways,
Speaker 1: you don't want to run, you don't want to work
Speaker 1: on a trick mel because you just don't want to
Speaker 1: affect the baby. What are some of the misconceptions about pregnancy.
Speaker 1: That's definitely one of them. Exercise is really helpful, right
Speaker 1: and because again, like you have relaxing, which causes the
Speaker 1: muscles and ligaments to relax, and so that makes you
Speaker 1: more susceptible to also injury sometimes. So exercise is really
Speaker 1: good to help strengthen, to help with strength and flexibility.
Speaker 1: No drinking. Some people say you could have a glass
Speaker 1: of wine, a glass of wine at once a week,
Speaker 1: you could do that. When you could do that to
Speaker 1: go into labor, because it'll relax you, but not in
Speaker 1: the beginning because it's a very delicate, you know, it's
Speaker 1: so delicate, the whole cell division, the process, it's rapid
Speaker 1: and there's all kinds of things that can go wrong
Speaker 1: in that very beginning stage. We have an endocannabinoid system,
Speaker 1: and there's actually cannabinoids in breast milk, so we know that,
Speaker 1: like our bodies have like grown alongside these plants, like
Speaker 1: and there's yeah CBD and breast milk. Yeah, it's in
Speaker 1: breast milk. What about getting a perm or dyeing your hair? Okay,
Speaker 1: so I you know a lot of people avoid that
Speaker 1: because there are chemicals in the dye and it obviously
Speaker 1: goes right into your bloodstream because like your scalp is
Speaker 1: like permeable, So it's better to try to avoid like
Speaker 1: anything intense like that. You know, toxins which are in
Speaker 1: a lot of products, especially in our communities, right, Like
Speaker 1: we have products that are marketed to us that are
Speaker 1: not safe for us. And so when we think about
Speaker 1: like the lotions, the creams like vasoline which rhymes with gasoline,
Speaker 1: Like we're using stuff like this all the time because
Speaker 1: it's tried and true, it's been in our community forever.
Speaker 1: But when you turn over the bottle and you look
Speaker 1: to see the ingredients, a lot of them should not
Speaker 1: even be in our body. And the continuing conference. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm so excited about this conference, you guys, is our
Speaker 1: first one. It's gonna be at the William Vale Hotel.
Speaker 1: Have you been there in Brooklyn. It's amazing. It's gonna
Speaker 1: address fertility, pregnancy, new motherhood, everything in between. Is November third,
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's going to be a day of programming
Speaker 1: and people can come and learn and also meet other
Speaker 1: people who are going through what they've been through. So,
Speaker 1: you know, will definitely address like maternal mental health because
Speaker 1: we know that this is a critical, critical issue in
Speaker 1: our country right now and we're just starting to have
Speaker 1: that conversation. I think that y'all have been really pivotal
Speaker 1: also in you know, making it more acceptable to even
Speaker 1: look at the fact that there's a mental health crisis
Speaker 1: in our country. And so one of the things that
Speaker 1: we want to do is create community in the conference.
Speaker 1: So there's mentors, there's conversation, but obviously there's panel discussion.
Speaker 1: But when you move outside of that, there will be
Speaker 1: groups that you're placed into so that you leave with
Speaker 1: like connection. Right, So you give stolarships too, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have some scholarships and we're gonna give a
Speaker 1: code to breakfast club listeners now that they can you know,
Speaker 1: come and be able to attend. Well, let's can we
Speaker 1: do that now? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, which should we call

Speaker 1: threats like that. In the vers he actually even bought
Speaker 1: a flight and posted his light to Vegas and everything. Now,
Speaker 1: when it comes to the law, the law has to
Speaker 1: mind their business when certain things happen, right, because what
Speaker 1: if this guy does get close to this young lady
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or for him. You already have
Speaker 1: the threat, You already put three screen order out. Now
Speaker 1: we should be able to do whatever we want to,
Speaker 1: that's right. If he gets anywhere close. That's it. Floyd
Speaker 1: got about what seven bodyguards? You said, you're gonna rape
Speaker 1: my daughters. Threat. The threat has been established. Therefore, if
Speaker 1: the threat comes in my vicinity, I kind of want
Speaker 1: to kind of want you to come. The threat can
Speaker 1: be destroyed, that's right. I kind of want you to
Speaker 1: come to Vegas. Come on, the threat can be eliminated. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a scary situation for Ayanna. So it is hopefully
Speaker 1: they get him in jail and get him out of there.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you get shot if he comes anywhere in there.
Speaker 1: I Yanna, all right, now, let's talk about what's going
Speaker 1: on with the man, the sales and all this drama
Speaker 1: with this uh party that she wasn't able to get into.
Speaker 1: And she did an episode of Side Effects of Professionalism,
Speaker 1: Part one for her podcast Small Doses, And by the way,
Speaker 1: she also has a Small Doses book as well coming out,
Speaker 1: and she's been talking about this situation where she couldn't
Speaker 1: get into this party and not only could she not
Speaker 1: get in, but it was humiliating for her because she
Speaker 1: was escorted out of the party. When she did manage
Speaker 1: to make it in, she was invited by Jesse Williams
Speaker 1: and apparently there's some people that she doesn't get along with,
Speaker 1: and she says that the person who actually didn't want
Speaker 1: her there is Issa Ray's publicist. So a year ago,
Speaker 1: Isa Ray's publicist, Vanessa Anderson of AMPR, and some other people,
Speaker 1: they started doing a Black Emmy party. Of course I
Speaker 1: worked with Issa, So Vanessa is somebody who I have absolutely,
Speaker 1: like met before, like when I have my web series
Speaker 1: on Isa's channel, and I have interacted with her, you know,
Speaker 1: on a few occasions, but she has never been nice
Speaker 1: to me ever. You know. I told Esa, I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know your publicist, Like she's just like she's just
Speaker 1: not being nice, Like she's just nasty. And Esa was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's just between y'all, okay. And now she
Speaker 1: goes on to talk about more about her issues on
Speaker 1: getting into this party. Now, I had seen Vanessa come
Speaker 1: outside to the front and have a conversation with her,
Speaker 1: but I didn't think anything of it. I mean, it
Speaker 1: is Vanessa's party, why wouldn't she come and speak to
Speaker 1: the person at the door. But it was interesting that
Speaker 1: this was happening because it seemed like an echo of
Speaker 1: the year before. So what ends up happening is Eliza's like,
Speaker 1: you know what to come in, So he welcomes me in,
Speaker 1: and as I'm coming in, the white girls like she
Speaker 1: can go in, and I was like, girl, stop and
Speaker 1: I just wave her off and I kept walking. Then
Speaker 1: she goes on to say that security came to escort
Speaker 1: her out. So I walk in and I go to
Speaker 1: the bar, Kiki goes to the bathroom. By the time
Speaker 1: Kiki has come back from the bathroom, a security guard
Speaker 1: is talking to me and a security guard says to me, hello,
Speaker 1: miss um, we have been asked to escort you out.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, who asked you to scort me out?
Speaker 1: So he gets on his phone and he says Vanessa.
Speaker 1: I said, well, then you need to find Vanessa because
Speaker 1: I need to speak to Vanessa and I need to
Speaker 1: find out from Vanessa why I'm being escorted out. And
Speaker 1: apparently no one can find Vanessa. Who the dull sound effects?
Speaker 1: That's our podcastcast, that's our podcast now. She goes on
Speaker 1: to say that she was hurt that none of her
Speaker 1: castmates intervened and nobody's doing anything and sharonas who's on
Speaker 1: the show, he said, you can't be a disrespectful ass
Speaker 1: human being and expect people to want to hang out
Speaker 1: with you. It's quite simple. Sit it out well, she
Speaker 1: responded to what Saruona's had to say. Not only am
Speaker 1: I not for everybody, everybody ain't for me. So anybody
Speaker 1: you see on Twitter whom is in this business and
Speaker 1: got something to say about me, trust and believe I
Speaker 1: got something to say about them. The difference is that
Speaker 1: I'm classy enough to keep it to myself and not
Speaker 1: trying in during got to do with them. I was
Speaker 1: confused how she was invited and then when she was invited,
Speaker 1: they didn't let her in. She was Jesse Williams invited her,
Speaker 1: but it was Vanessa's party, Vanessa and um Orde right,
Speaker 1: So because the person throwing the party even though she
Speaker 1: was invited by Jesse, I mean he probably didn't know
Speaker 1: there was any issues. They dropping a clue bump from
Speaker 1: my guy, Rande. I don't know what's going on. This
Speaker 1: is all too much, okay, just sound like a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of just just mess. I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: I know a man that Seals is my partner though,
Speaker 1: and I ride with Seals one hundred percent. I wonder
Speaker 1: called Rande I think Rande was actually coming to get her,
Speaker 1: but she was already in the party by the time
Speaker 1: he got there. So Rande went to go mind his business,
Speaker 1: and then all of that other stuff happened after the fact.
Speaker 1: Got you think that her cast made should have stood
Speaker 1: up for her and intervened or um rightist. I don't
Speaker 1: even know what their relationship is. I think said, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: if you were outside of party and I was inside
Speaker 1: and not saying you're having a problem, I would walk
Speaker 1: over and make sure you was. But we actually like
Speaker 1: each other. They don't. They don't like each other. It's
Speaker 1: clear to meet up, clearly they don't. Didn't that do
Speaker 1: what they're doing on the cast me secure? Yea what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it's clear that they don't get along
Speaker 1: in some way shape or for him. He's publicists don't
Speaker 1: like steal Seal doesn't seem to care for her. It's
Speaker 1: like I can't mix oil and water. I guess you know,
Speaker 1: all right, Well, I'm sure next time a man that
Speaker 1: comes up, she'll talk about it with us. I'm angela, yeah,
Speaker 1: and that is your rumor report and make sure you
