Well, thank you, brother. 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:23.040 I live with a female for nine years and we 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.160 meant together what we worked together to nine years. But 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.000 I live with her and I sleep in the little 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.560 room and she sleeps in her room, and I wake up. 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.679 I wake up every day at four o'clock to the morning. 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.040 Just use the bathroom because she might you know, pee 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:39.160 in the back, Yama. Yeah, we basically roommates. You can 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.640 say that, y'all. Y'all don't have sex or anything like 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:47.399 that in a relationship. No stuff, it's my dad. What's 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.000 the reason though, Like I mean for financial reasons though, 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:54.760 what's the reason y'all still roommates because her twin daughters, 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.520 we are being in their lives since they were baby. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.720 So she don't want to be with nobody else. She 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:01.480 won to do somebody else, but she don't want to 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:05.120 bring another guy into the relationship. It's comfortable for her guy. 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:10.280 Something might happen because damn they have special uh distabilities 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.880 to the it. So she don't really want you. She 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:15.880 just wants you around the kids. She rapped the seat 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.600 somebody else. He feels comfortable with you, Yes, okay, And 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.639 what about if you want to date somebody else? You 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.600 want to That's the thing she tells me, is like, 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.080 I'm gonna go out and spend the night out or 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.440 she gives me like make say a curfew if you're 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.480 not home by eleven thirty, I already know you're spending 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.840 the night out. So how old I'm gonna be honest 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:39.520 with you. How old are you, sir? Study something? Yeah, 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:41.880 this was you said. This sounds like the story you 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.320 tell other women because you know you got a girl, 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:45.840 so you'd be like, no, I don't really got a girl, 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.320 you know what I'm saying. But we just live together. 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.920 You know her kids got special needs. I just take 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.480 care of the kids. But we're not really together. That's 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.800 just sounds like the story you tell other women. No, 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:56.840 not really. Yeah, I'm sure he wouldn't call up here 0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:02.080 and lie to us. Why not. I'm not lying. Yeah, no, 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.960 I believe you. That's what I'm saying. It's an unusual enragement. 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.480 But people do get like comfortable with someone they're scared 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.840 to move on. I always say that some people get 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.520 comfortable and being like in a dysfunctional relationship and it 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:17.200 seems trapped though. Yeah, like you can't see other people, right, No, no, 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.240 she can't see she said, I want to see other people. 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:21.359 I don't want to be with you, but I just 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:22.800 got you around, could you get with the kids? Like 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:24.680 he sounding like he know she but she but she 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.160 told him if he if he stayed up till past 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.800 eleven thirty, I know you're with somebody else. You don't 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.960 come back, Like, what kind of sense is that that's on? Now? Well? Kids, 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:37.200 good morning, good morning? How are you well?

Was the breakfast club? More? This is your 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.200 time to get it off your chest. Whether you're man 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.919 from you on the breakfast club? You got something on 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:49.880 your mind? Hello? Who's this? Hey? What's up? Broke? Get 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.480 it off your chest? Yeah, we have it all hard 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:59.320 time with relationship issues. What's the matter? What's your problem? Bros? 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:03.160 Both Wayne? It is neither one of us her hands 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.920 trust in each other? Why why don't y'all have trust? 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.480 What do y'all do to destruy the trust? Maybe I 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:13.600 was working multiple jobs for one, I think, and a 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:17.400 lot of friends and families and influences and stuff like that. 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.760 You know, it doesn't seem like a reason to get that. 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.760 We need a little more information than that, and we 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.680 want you to be honest, like, what is the real 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.640 reason there's reasons why people don't trust each other? Well, 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.839 she went searching to try to find something that she 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.400 heard from a friend, and then she started doing searching 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.719 and being fine nothing. So I think that's kind of 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.200 where the trust went, like about a year ago. And 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.840 so you're saying she tried to step out but you didn't, 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.159 but she was because she felt guilty about what she 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.320 was doing. She thought I was trying to step up 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:53.560 and went doing some searching and didn't find nothing. But 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:57.200 I always friends in the ear and you know, telling 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.160 her this and telling her Dad used to accuse me 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:04.120 a cheating basically every day that you know, saying all 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.919 this and that you know less of a man, you 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.840 don't have this, you don't have that. It's a lot 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.120 you know, it's a lot of nick kicking. Yeah, it 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.920 is a child involved, you know. So that's my main focus. 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.520 I'm like, we need to come together for our child. 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:26.760 We actually, yeah, we tried counseling, but when we talked 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.360 to a neutral person that don't know anything about the relationship, 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:35.240 he was telling us like what we need to know, 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:39.080 and like when you were saying you don't have a problem, 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:44.320 it really is a problem. And yes, and honestly, she 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.760 like a couple of months ago, she if you have 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:52.400 gave me an STD or anything, I'm leaving you, Like, well, 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.320 why would you think that, you know, because I'm not 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.640 doing anything so well. I did trust her until all 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.640 these functions, and I want to hang out with you know, 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:07.040 friends all the time instead of like trying to build 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.440 within the high. We'll hold on. It seems like you 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.240 need some some more help from me, so you hold 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:16.400 on all right? Hello? Who's this?

But financial therapist do well. My mession is 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:42.319 to ease the mind e's to paying around finances because 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.040 a lot of the times I'm black, men are being 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.720 told to be the providers and they feel like they 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.760 don't have an outlet to go stay like, oh, I 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:51.960 don't know how to do this, you know, like, and 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.960 they shun away from therapy. That's not something we talk 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:59.080 about in our community a lot. So putting them both together, 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.880 we needed open up. We need to open up because 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.600 there's ways that we can win. And it's not always 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:09.240 just about not not to shunt you whatever and be, 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.080 But it's not just about real estate because that's the 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:12.839 most people would want to like to do. If I 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:14.800 need to do real estate, because that's gonna bring me 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.280 pass income, but there's other ways to do it. So 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.439 just you know, I want to ease that pain like 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.520 any other therapists will do. Okay, I love it, and 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.480 I'm lining to many states, so it's a push in 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.680 sufficient and it's free information. So let's get it.

Hey, let me ask y'all a question man 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.079 before we get started, because you know, we just did 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.080 come out of a pandemic. I guess we're still in it. 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.600 But how are y'all? And I want to hone his answer. 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:41.280 I mean, I ain't gonna lie. You know, I've been 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.400 through a lot, you know what I mean. I've been 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:48.959 through I lost both my parents in December, and you know, 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.800 previous to that, we was all on home detention. We 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.520 was locked down. So it's been rough for me. But 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:59.000 you know, I got so much faith in God. I 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.600 ain't gonna let nothing stopped me. I got to stay down. 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.560 I'm doing what they wanted me to do, you know 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.559 what I mean. And let's be good. Let's be successful 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.560 and be happy. You know what I mean. I'm sending 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:13.839 you healing energy. Damn. Yeah, Mike, Mike has Mike has 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.560 really you know, been through it, and uh and I 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.480 think it was it was cool that we, you know, 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:23.120 are just doing the show about about a family. You know, 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.520 I've known Mike for years, so it's like it's like 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.320 with family, you know, and uh so we all, you know, 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:34.080 it was supporting him, keeping him lifted up. But he's 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.840 he's a strong brother, he really is. And he has, 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.880 like you said, that faith in God, and uh, it 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.920 got us all through, you know, and uh, I'm you know, 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.320 I'm dealing with the I got the the kids and 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.559 everything at all. But it's uh, you know, we just 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.760 feel we just feel blessed, really, I mean, you know, 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.800 it's hard. And then and were not going sugarcoat it. 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.320 I mean a lot of people went through depression. You know. 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.440 I had some issues, you know, dealing with it because 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.800 it was just we've never experienced something like this, you know, 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.560 like Mike saying, like hard, and then when you see 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:09.640 all these people losing their lives. I know so many 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:14.840 friends who've lost people also, and uh, you feel blessed, 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.679 but but you also are like just it's just sad. 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.040 You just feel sad. And then all the stuff we 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.040 were going through with the with from George Florida on 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.160 and the floor that, you know, it was just dang. 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.960 It was just feels like like when like the Camel's 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.400 about to break man when we come back. We had 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.760 moved with Wanda Sykes and Mike eppste Or the new 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.800 Netflix series The Upshows Don't Move. It's the Breakfast Club Morning, 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:48.920 the Breakfast Club Borning. Everybody is DJ Envy and Juliene Charlomagne, 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.280 The Guy we are the Breakfast Club. We're kicking it 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:54.880 with Wanda Sykes and Mike Epps. Charlomagne. You ep on 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.360 this show too, right, yeah you can? And uh and 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.520 uh co creator with at the Hicks. How is the 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.240 approach different when you the EP and cold creator and 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.280 you starting it? How is your approach to the to 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.920 the role different? Um? But you know, I've been in 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:13.960 this position before, so it was, uh, you know, I'm 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.920 in the writer's room and uh, you know, getting the 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:21.160 scripts together and everything. And then when I'm but when 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.880 I'm on stage and performing, I try to you know, 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.720 I turn that other part off so we can, you know, 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.720 so I can make the make the performance. But when um, 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.040 when I'm not in the scene, then I get back 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:40.160 behind the monitors and you know and watch everything. But um, 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.360 it was cool working with Mike because you know, like 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.840 encourage him to like, hey, man, if this this, how 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.120 would you say this?

I frequently DJ strip clubs 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.399 all the time, and I remember one particular time our 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.760 camera guy up here. He was feeling sad, so I 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.680 took him out for his birthday, which one nick No 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:39.160 No Steve. Steve said. I was out of the club 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.440 at about three o'clock. I say, your Steve, he's ready 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:42.760 to go. He was like, nah, I'll stay for a 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:44.960 little bit. It's like, Steve, you know nobody here. He 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:47.080 was like no, but you know the strippers feeling you. 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.479 I said, no, she's not feeling since. She's not feeling you, sir, 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.240 she's feeling the money that you're throwing it. He's like, no, no, no, 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.280 I think we have a connection.

What happened after that, 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.440 I don't know, but he was definitely in love. It's 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.240 a scripper's job to give you attention, guys. It's a 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:16.359 completely transactional relationship. Yes, you're throwing your ones, she's dancing. 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:19.000 That's what the script club is for. It's like literally 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.840 going into a barbershop paying the barber to cut your hand, 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.280 saying yo, I think I think he's feeling me. Yo, 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:28.679 he's he's playing on my neck. No, he's cutting your hair. Okay, 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:32.080 it's the same thing with a scripper. But but I 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.520 will say this, and for the strippers out there, when 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:36.920 the stripper is dope dance and they have conversations with 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:40.640 their uh mark, I'll call them, that's when it gets 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.000 a little they're having conversations to see if you got 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:45.400 some goddamn money, but see if they should be wasting 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.720 their time with your conversation makes the mark feel special 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:49.959 because he's like, Wow, you dance for everybody, but you're 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:52.640 sitting down talking to me. I think that's why Scripps 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:54.520 a great hole. Drop on the kluz Bum followers Scripps 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:56.440 out there. That's why they're amazing at what they do 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:59.359 because they make you feel special. They make you feel wanted, 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:01.199 and that's how you have to make somebody feel if 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:04.760 you want them to throw that money. Salute all the Scripples. Man.
