36
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: I actually really enjoy Mastery, and I quote that book

37
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: all the time, just because I feel like sometimes people

38
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: think success can come over night, but they don't understand

39
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: if you want to be amazing at something, you do

40
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: have to master it. Yeah. I've always wondered if Outliers

41
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: influenced The Mastery. Michael Gladwell's outlines influenced the mastery because

42
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: it's the whole, you know, the outlines of the ten

43
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: thousand and hour theory. Mastery is more like, you know,

44
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: twenty thousand, just an unlimited amount of hours. Just put

45
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: the work into the craft. Man. Somebody just walked in

Speaker 1: killed after a gunman opened fire and a grocery store

105
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: in Boulder, Colorado. This was at a King Supers that's

00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: owned by Kroger's Supermarket, and a suspect is in custody,

107
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: according to Boulder Police Chief Maris Harold. Authorities did not

00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: share any information on his identity or the type of weapon,

109
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: but they did say one authority told CNN that it

110
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: was aar fifteen. They said they are working around the

111
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: clock to get all this accomplished. And one police officer

112
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: was slain, fifty one year old Eric Talley. He was

113
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: one of the first officers to respond to the scene.

114
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: He had joined the Boulder Police Force back in two ten.

115
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: They did not disclose the identity of any of the

116
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: other victims. Now. One person did speak to Aaron Burnett

117
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: on CNN, Ryan Borowski. He said he was shopping at

118
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: the store when he heard the first shots. Listen to

119
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: Ryan's account, when we ran out the back door We

120
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: were all single file, and I had my hand on

121
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: one person's back and another person had their hand on

122
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: my back. We weren't tripping on each other, and nobody

123
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: fell down. When we got to the back of the house.

124
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: There were some people who started to run into like

125
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: a pantry or some sort of storage area and a

126
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: dead end, and employees made sure to show them the

127
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: way out. I just threw my groceries on a shelf

128
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: and took off from my life. Do we ever get

129
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: a break in America? They always something like Jesus, Like

130
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: last year during the pandemic, you know, I didn't hear

131
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: about a lot of mass shootings, you know what I mean?

132
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: So I guess now did everybody you know back outside?

133
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: A lot of people people back actively doing this type

134
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: of stuff, Like come on, and this is the seventh

135
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,119
Speaker 1: mass shooting in the United States in the past seven days.

136
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: And here's what else Ryan Borowski had to say about

137
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: not feeling safe. It doesn't feel like there's anywhere safe

138
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: anymore sometimes, And this feels like the safest spot in America.

139
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: And I just nearly got killed forgetting a soda, you know,

140
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: and a bag of chips. Wow, do we have a motive. No,

141
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,200

Speaker 1: We're not joking. Buy something. Tell you love them? All right? God? Hello,

170
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: who's this from Detroit? Man? I need to vent real quick.

171
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm extremely blessed, got a good job, good wife, and

172
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: good family, all that good stuff. But it was just

173
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: brought to my attention. The post Office has just approved

174
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: fifteen weeks of one hundred percent pay for people to

175
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: take off. But they will not reward the people who

176
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: come to work. I haven't taken off the day since

177
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: all this kicked off. Not wow, damn. But they will

178
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: not reward the people who come to work every day

179
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: like we supposed to. But they want to keep giving

180
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: people excuses and reason to take off. Now. Granted, some

181
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: people need it, but everybody don't. Yeah. I heard a

182
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: lot of businesses are if you have to go take

183
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: a COVID test, they're giving you like a half a

184
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: day to go get tested. I heard a lot of

185
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: people are really taking advantage of that. Not our job.

186
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: They did bring the test to you. They they ain't

187
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: give you nothing off. And another thing. Man. So when

188
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: it was the election time, we had everybody talking about

189
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: the post office, Rashida to Lead, Gary Peters, Brenda Lords.

190
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: We don't hear nothing no more. Now that they got

191
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: their little seats and they re elected, we don't hear

192
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: nothing no more about the post office. Man. Right, we're ridiculous.

193
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: You're right about that. I will say this though, I

194
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: feel like you should take some time off and over

195
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: time is ridiculous. Pay okay, but don't worry about anybody.

196
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: Keep getting that, man. But you still gotta have self care,

197
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: oh brother. Self care is very important for your mental

198
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: and emotional health. Man. You're absolutely right, no question about it.

199
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: But I sleep good knowing that I'm putting dollars in

200
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: the bank. But still we should be rewarded for coming

201
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: to work. Man. This is the breakfast club. This is

202
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,520

Speaker 1: All right, just hold on. Give you're a list of

233
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,200

00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: I call it two or three plumbers. When I have

Speaker 1: try to overprice you. It doesn't matter who you are,

245
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: where you live. They will try to get you if

252
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: quick man. What happened? He set you up? I don't

253
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: like I'm a little lie last week? What are you

254
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: lied about singing to you? When y'all playing the video

255
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: and him singing and be asked him a clear question

256
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: and say that's the video you saying, trams and it

257
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,360

259
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: video you say, oh yeah, he attracted to you, tray,

260
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: because there's no reason to lie about that if he

261
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: not attracted you. And so I gotta I gotta know

262
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: he's gotta check this to me. But look, so I

263
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,600

270
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: Who's this yo? This is tid. I'm calling you from Cleveland.

271
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: Try what I'm getting off your chest? Are you feeling

272
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: Charlotte Magne in pretty thing or your thing? Hey? Listening

273
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: little mama. Little Mama is making the case that I

274
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: think should be talked about in the public sector about

275
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: heterosexual rights movement. Although I don't support her fully in part,

276
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: she does talk about some things that I think people

277
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: should be looking as seriously, such as the actual value

278
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: of evidence and proof, and you know that. Whereas I

279
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: don't think it's technically wrong or morally wrong for somebody

280
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: to mask their gender, I do think and I know

281
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: that it is completely wrong to be forced to accept

282
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: somebody's haven't changed their gender when humans cellular biology says

283
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: that you have not and cannot accomplish that. I'm not

284
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: a Christian. I know the pursuit of Christianity very well.

285
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't think somebody should be pressured into trying to

286
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: marry two men or two women if you're a Christian

287
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: minister and have to face a whole bunch of controversy

288
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: because it's so far left of what you're doctrine teachers,

289
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: and in the taxpayer funding neighbor public schools where they

290
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: teaching history, writing, mathematics, arithmetic, please teach civics and biology

291
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: and chemistry. They don't necessarily need to have to be

292
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: teaching m about homosexual relationships any more than you need

293
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: to be teaching about head king, King, King King. I'm

294
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something. I have no idea what you're

295
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: talking about. Oh, Mama, are you aware heterosexual rights movement?

296
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: Heterosexual rights movement. Yeah, spend some time with it. Maybe

297
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: could be a topic for your show later next week

298
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: or something. Maybe you could get wrong and me you

299
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: kind of be able to follow better what I'm saying. Yeah,

300
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: I think she was saying. I think she was saying something.

301
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: Part of it was she didn't she didn't want to

302
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: see uh, any type of relationship or television, not heterosexual

303
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: relationships all the time. Yeah, I think she was just

304
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: saying any of it. Yeah, she says she didn't want

305
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: to see any of it because it doesn't allow kids

306
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: to make up their own mind, because they can be

307
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, uh, impressionable. I said, I'm not with her

308
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: in total, but she is onto something to such a

309
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: degree that they're actually, why are we talking about this

310
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: so long? Because it becomes the part of the social

311
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: conversation with you actually talk about on your broadcast. But

312
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: I gotta know what I'm talking about. I don't have

313
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: no idea what you're talking about. We'll pick it up,

314
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: pick it up. Since the time with it, wrestle with it.

315
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: You work for drama show because dramas hangs up on

316
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: anybody else him and envy. But today, for whatever reason,

317
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: they just He's like, what do we talk all of that?

318
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: We act like we got so much time here on

319
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: this show, like that's what we jove to talk about

320
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: for two to three minutes. The Breakfast Club Morning, everybody

321
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: is DJ M V Angela Ye, Charlomagne, the guy. We

322
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors to

323
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: talk NBA Young Boy, It's about time report with Angela

324
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: Yee on the Breakfast Club. NBA Young Boy is an

325
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: FBI custody lap. The cops did pull him over and

326
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: they tracked him down when he tried to flee the scene.

327
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: According to TMZ, they said that he has an outstanding

328
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: federal warrant and that set off a pursuit, and once

329
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: the car stopped, they said NBA Young Boy then ran

330
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: on foot, and the cops set up a perimeter. They

331
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: bought in a canine to helped find him, and the

332
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: police dog did not bite him, but they did sniff

333
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: him out and find him. All right. For one am

334
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 1: shocked by these developments. There's nothing about NBA Young Boy

335
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: that makes me believe he would be a prime candidate

336
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: for jail. Why would the police ever be looking for him?

337
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: He seemed so pleasant? Yeah, but what did he do

338
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: with where he had a warrant? Do we know what

339
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: the warrant was? The outstanding federal warrant? Listen, I don't know,

340
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: but all I know is they found a firearm in

341
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: the vehicle. They said, they're unclear if that belongs to

342
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: him as of now. I know before he had gotten

343
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: stopped and they found some guns, but he said none

344
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: of them were his. So I want to know where

345
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: he was running. You are NBA young Boy, You do

346
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: know that, right? I think that's the first reaction is

347
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: just a run, you know. I mean, I'm surboused to

348
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: dog didn't bite him. My first reaction wouldn't be the

349
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: one if I was a rapper making millions of dollars. Okay, No,

350
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: if he had a warrant, you might. I don't know

351
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: if he know, if he had award or that. I

352
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: think I thought he was running because there was guns

353
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: in the car. But my point with that is somebody

354
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: else you're to be claiming those guns because I am

355
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 1: NBA young boy. Yeah, I mean sometimes you just want

356
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: to I don't know. I guess probably for a lot

357
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: of people, your first reaction is to get out of there. No, no,

358
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: m Yeah. The federal investigation is after he got arrested

359
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: for drug and firearm charges after police responded to reports

360
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: of a large group of people brandishing weapons while filming

361
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: a music video. I am shocked, and he said none

362
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: of them belonged to him. All right. Now, Twitter CEO

363
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: Jack Dorsey has sold the NFT of his first tweet

364
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: for two point nine million dollars. Remember we were talking

365
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: about these NFTs and he announced the digital auction for

366
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: the post. It was the first ever tweet that was

367
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 1: sent out fifteen years ago. And yes, two point nine

368
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: million dollars is how much that went for. Yeah, I

369
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: totally understand the NFTs now, Jim Jones put us on.

370
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: He was on the Breakfast Club last week, and you know,

371
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: I've had other people on my team talk to me

372
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: about it, so I totally understand what it is. I

373
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,239
Speaker 1: just don't understand why people would pay that much, right,

374
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: that much money, that kind of stuff. But he shut up.

375
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: Let me shut up, right, because I actually a digital

376
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: footprint out there. I'm gonna find me something to sell.

377
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: I learned it about a while ago because one of

378
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: my friends who's an artist, was selling some of his

379
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: artwork and he was explaining to me how it worked,

380
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: and he was like, listen, you could be doing this.

381
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: You could be doing pieces of interviews and selling those

382
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: music videos whatever. People can do that all right, And

383
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: assigned jay Z trading cards so for a record breaking price,

384
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: and that was one hundred and five thousand, seven hundred

385
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: and eighty dollars. It's a one of one card. Or

386
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: Initially it was lingering around two thousand dollars on the

387
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: online auction site. Then one buyer started heating it up

388
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: and it ended up going for one hundred and five

389
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. They said, that's an all time record for

390
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: any non sports TCG card. Question, that's BEAUTIFU by the way,

391
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: But does Jack's tweet appreciate with value? Will it be

392
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: worth more in the future. We don't know what's going

393
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: to happen with these NFTs, But what I do know

394
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: is that with NFTs, if somebody else who ever bought it,

395
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,479
Speaker 1: sells it, the original person still gets a piece of that.

396
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: So as much as people trade it and sell it,

397
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: it's still the original owner will still get a percentage.

398
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: So the more people that sell it and traded and

399
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: all of that, you get a little more money because

400
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: as an owner, because I can understand why that tweet

401
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: would have value. Is that the first tweet ever? Because

402
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: that is, Yeah, but it's a first tweet ever, right,

403
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: a copy of the tweet? Right, Yeah, it's a digital

404
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: it's a digital. Yeah, it's digital. It's all digital. All

405
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: these things NFTs are digital copies. Nick said, it's not,

406
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: but it's the first tweet ever, right, like ever because

407
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: Jack runs Twitter, so yeah, boy, he said, anybody can

408
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: see it. Anybody can copy it, So yeah, anybody can

409
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: see it. But it's many, but it gives you a

410
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: digital certificate of authenticity, so it confirms that it's real.

411
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: It's one of a kind. Nobody else will have it,

412
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: and it's the only one I just want to know

413
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: that appreciate with about you. That's a all right, Well

414
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: that is your rumor report. Cash. You can never tell

415
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: it something appreciates. I mean, that's just up in the air.

416
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 1: Just like when you buy art, you don't know if

417
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: it's gonna appreciate or not. Some art you can you

418
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: know if it's gonna appreciate, just like some vehicles. You

419
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: know it's gonna appreciate. But I'm just curious about what happens,

420
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, because right now it's a fat right. Everybody

421

444
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: two men who are spring Breakers from Greensboro, North Carolina

445
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 1: that we're visiting South Beach have been arrested. They've been

446
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: accused of drugging and raping a woman who later on

447
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: died in her hotel room. The men Evar Collier, who's

448
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: twenty one, and Dorian Taylor, twenty four, are also accused

449
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: of stealing her credit cards to spend money on their

450
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: trip in South Beach. So the arrest comes, as you know,

451

Speaker 1: it's been a bit of a mess out there in

452
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: Miami Beach. And they said they could be charged with

453

Speaker 1: burglary with battery, sexual battery, petty theft, and the fraudulent

454
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,159

Speaker 1: gave her has proven to have played a role in

456
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: her death, they could also potentially face a manslaughter or

457
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: murder charge. The woman was a twenty four year old

458
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: visiting from Pennsylvania. She was staying at the Albion Hotel.

459
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: Now what happened was this, They met her at a restaurant,

460
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: according to what the mental detectives, and they said that

461
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: they gave her a green pill. They believed it was percocet,

462
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: and now they've sent that to the lab. They don't

463
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: know if it was fetanol or some other narcotic. And

464
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: they say they planned to have sex with the victim

465
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: and walking into the hotel, they said the woman was

466
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: staggering that they had to hold her up as they

467
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: walked into the elevator, holding her from behind, holding her

468
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: by the neck so that she could stand. Once at

469
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: the hotel, they each had sex with her, and at

470
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: one point they said you could he forced himself on

471
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: her as she appeared to be unconscious, and then when

472
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 1: it came clear that she was unconscious, they stole her

473
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: cash or credit cards and her phone and left her

474
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: in the room without any concern for her welfare or safety.

475
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: They then used the stolen credit card at various locations

476
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: in Miami Beach, and they were caught on video surveillance

477
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: actually using her credit card. Yeah, they're gonna wake up

478
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: in a prison ten years from now kicking themselves thinking

479
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: about that stupid ass choice they made to go down

480
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: the South Beach and do that to a young lady.

481
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, they deserve life, they absolutely for a long time.

482
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,440

506
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: saying white male for five hundred dollars now. Ryan Borowski

507
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: was shopping at the store and he first heard the

508
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: shots and he said, by the third shot, everybody was running.

509
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: Here's what he told Aaron Burnett on CNN When we

510
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: ran out the back door, we were all single file,

511
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: and I had my hand on one person's back and

512
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: another person had their hand on my back. We weren't

513
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: tripping on each other, and nobody fell down. When we

514
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: got to the back of the house, there were some

515
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: people who started to run into like a pantry or

516
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: some sort of storage area and a dead end, and

517
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: employees made sure to show them the way out. I

518
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: just threw my groceries on a shelf and took off

519
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: from my life. I know one thing. If that was

520
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: a black man, Latino Muslim who was in custody and

521
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: who was the suspect. We didn't know his name, his background,

522
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: what he'd got in trouble for in eighth grade. By now,

523
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: they haven't re released his dude's name. And I told

539
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: I missed. I'm still I'm sorry. I'm still stuck on

540
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: the girl from Pennsylvania that went out to spring Break

00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: I want to say, hey, Dad, I want to go somewhere.

546
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: I want to go out, And it's like I don't

00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: even want my daughter to go to the mall. I

548
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: don't even want to go to the Jersey Shore. Yeah,

549
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: but guess what you can go to that mall and

00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: I was at a suit and this was at a superman. Oh,

Speaker 1: Breakfast Club Charlomagne the god angela ye Envy had to

556
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: step out. But man, we have one of my favorite

557
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: authors on I've read I think pretty much everything he's written,

559

561
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: What's up, Robert? Oh that much? Thanks for having me,

562
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: Charlotta Magnan in Good morning to you. Now, how are

563
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: you further foremost? I know you had a stroke a

564
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: few years ago. How are you feeling right now? I'm

565
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: doing okay. I'm lucky to be alive, which is a

566
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: good thing, and you know, I'm still in therapy. I

567
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: can't really walk the way I used to walk, so

568
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: it's a bit frustrating, but I'm dealing with it and

569
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,239
Speaker 1: I'm just happy to be alive, you know what I mean.

570
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm also very happy that I can write another book,

571
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: that I can be on your show, that I still

572
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: have my most of my brain functioning, So I'm okay.

573
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: I always talk to people about your book Mastery because

574
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: I think it's so important. I actually have a show

575
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: I did with Facebook and it's called Mastery of Comedy

576
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: and it's experienced comics that are helping out the up

577
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: and coming ones. But that is basically based off of

578
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: some of the ideas from your book Mastery. Oh I

579
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: didn't know that. Well, that's great. You should have had

580
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: me on your show. Well, it's just a little Facebook show.

581
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: I always look at you, Rabbit Green, as somebody that's like,

582
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: you know for that. Yeah, I'm not too big for that.

583
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: The Outliers inspired Mastery because Outliers was ten thousand hours

584
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: you just expounded on the left of ours. Well, I

585
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: can honestly say I haven't read Outliers, so it didn't

586
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: come from Outliers. I was aware of what he said.

587
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: There's actually some differences between what he wrote in that book.

588
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: I respect Malcolm Gladwell a law, but when I write

589
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: a book, I try not to read things that are

590
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: too close to it that have come out recently, because

591
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: I want my ideas to be my own a bit.

592
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm a bit independent that way, so I deliberately avoided

593
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: reading it, but I respect him. The ten thousand hour rule,

594
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: which some people now are doubting, actually doesn't come from

595
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: Malcolm Gladwell. It comes from a very famous study in

596
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties. But Mastery was just sort of coming

597
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: out of my own brain at a particular moment in

598
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: my life. What would you think the difference between, you know,

599
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: the ten thousand hour theory and what you put in Mastery, Well,

600
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: I very much believe in the ten thousand hour theory.

601
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: I was trying to show what would happen to the

602
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: human brain at twenty thousand hours, for instance. So Mastery

603
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: the endpoint is what I call a mix of the

604
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: intuitive and the rational. You reach such a point where

605
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: you probably are almost there Charlamagne, with how many podcasts done,

606
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: where we have a feel for what you're doing a

607
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: fingertip field, it's almost inside of it. You don't have

608
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: to think anymore. So at ten thousand hours you become

609
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: pretty brilliant creative in chess, in music or whatever, venture

610
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: or in sports. I wanted to go to the next level.

611
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,719
Speaker 1: What happens if you spend ten, fifteen, twenty years delving

612
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: into something and repeating and doing it over and over

613
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: again with still a lot of enthusiasm and excitement, you

614
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: reach a level that's to me almost superhuman, like an Einstein,

615
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: like a da Vinci. So that's that's the only difference.

616
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: And it's not just a matter of accumulating ten thousand hours.

617
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: That's the misconception people have because you can spend fifty years,

618
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, in your garage painting and you'll eventually accumulate

619
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: twenty thousand hours, but you won't be a master. You

620
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: have to be. It has to be intensity, It has

621
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: to be the kind of practice that you have, you know,

622
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: it has to be within a certain time frame. So

623
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: that's the only difference. And what I like about other

624
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: things that I always use is when we talk about

625
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: having your back against the war right to get out

626
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: of a difficult situation, and we always need to operate

627
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: with that same type of intensity. And that's something that

628
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: I tried to practice too, where when you're comfortable, sometimes

629
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: you don't go so hard, but then it takes for

630
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: you be in a really difficult situation for you to say, Okay,

631
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm at my wits end. It's either do or die

632
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: right now, and that's when you really spring into action. Yeah,

633
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: that's called the death ground strategy. I did that in

634
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: my thirty three Strategies of War book. I remember I

635
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: was doing a book with fifty cent called The fiftieth Law,

636
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: and I know I was a bit intimidated working with him,

637
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: and it was the first time I'd ever worked with

638
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: the so called celebrity. And the first version of the

639
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: book was actually not very good. I have to be honest,

640
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: and the publisher was going to cancel the project. They

641
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: weren't satisfied with They were being polite, but they weren't

642
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: satisfied with it. And so we brought in somebody else

643
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: as a publisher and he said, okay, Robert, you have

644
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,239
Speaker 1: to redo it, and I cast I decided I'm going

645
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: to redo it. And basically the problem was it wasn't

646
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: enough me in the book. It was too much about

647
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: too much fifteen not enough for me. It needed to

648
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: be a mix. And he said, all right, we'll do

649
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: what you say, but you have eight months to write it.

650
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: Eight months and there's no way I can write this

651
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: in eight months. I've got to rethink the whole thing.

652
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: It's impossible. He said, Well, that's it. It's either that

653
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: or the book is killed. And I never worked harder

654
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: in my life. Ideas. It was like what you say,

655
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: do it or you die. It was either finished that

656
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: book or I would have failed in something, and it

657
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: would have been very embarrassing. So when your back is

658
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: against the wall like that, you suddenly find energy and

659
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: ideas and a whole other level that you never suspect

660
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: it was inside of you. It's interesting that you said

661
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: you were intimidated working with fifty on The Fifty of Law,

662
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: because the book is about overcoming fear. Well that's good. Yeah,

663
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean I don't I don't deny that I'm human.

664
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: I have fear. You know when I met fifty he

665
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: was actually said later on, he was a bit intimidated

666
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: by me. You know, the guy who wrote the forty

667
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: eight Laws of Power. We're now good friends, but you know,

668
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: he's he's a lot more famous than I am, and

669
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: I wanted the book to be something he was proud of,

670
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: and that was really good. So having a level of

671
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of fear to me that level of

672
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 1: fear where you think that your project, that your book

673
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: isn't necessarily the greatest, that you have to up your game,

674
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: that you have to make it better and better. That

675
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: kind of level of fear can be productive. But the

676
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: other fears that we talked about in the fiftieth law

677
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: are very debilitating, particularly now in the pandemic. So, you know,

678
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: I want to go back to something you said about

679
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: master because it's almost unfair that we age physically because

680
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, you really don't become a master until later

681
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: in your life, just based off experiment experience. Right. Is

682
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: that why Lebron and Tom Brady are such a nomallies

683
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: because they're able to anteen physically and so mentally they

684
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: just massed at their craft. I think it's a combination

685
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: of both. You know, you look at the two of them,

686
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 1: and what they have in common is that they're they're

687
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: incredibly incredibly good shape and it's not just working out

688
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: in their physique. They also have an incredibly good diet, right,

689
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: and so they understand that you have to treat the

690
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: whole body. And they're also very much into the mental

691
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: aspect and keeping the mind fresh and not you know,

692
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: you could get kind of boring playing basketball for so

693
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: many years the same game over and over, you can

694
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: get burnout. And to be at his level thirty five,

695
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: thirty six years old and to still feel like a

696
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 1: kid and be excited, that takes a lot of work.

697
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: So it's a combination of the mental and the physical

698
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: as well. And it would be amazing if people in

699
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: any venture sports or writing books or podcasting, if you

700
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,720
Speaker 1: could go on till you're eighty nine, imagine the wisdom

701
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: that you would have at that point. But that's just

702
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: not how we're built, you know. Yeah, how did the

703
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: script change your perspective on life? Well, it's it's it's

704
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: not been easy. I must I mean, I don't want

705
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 1: to complain because now people are going through a lot

706
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: of terrible stuff, you know, with the virus and a

707
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: lot of people are dying. But I was someone who

708
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: was very much into you know, exercise to movement. Writing

709
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: can be very stressful, and my way of distressing was

710
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: taking a hike up here in Griffith Park or going swimming,

711
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: or going on my mountain bike, and in doing those things,

712
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 1: some of my best thoughts would come to me. And

713
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: I can't do any of that right, So I'm sort

714
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: of trapped here in the house, and I have to

715
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: learn I still can do other forms of exercise. I've

716
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: had to change my whole way of thinking. But on

717
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: the other hand, it's merely made me work on myself

718
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: because I have you know, I have flaws as well,

719
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: and some of them are my impatience, the fact that

720
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: I really need want things to happen right now. I've

721
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: had to become much more patient and in a way

722
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: a little more humble, you know, because I can empathize

723
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: a lot with people who don't have so much control

724
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: over their life, whether it's physically or financially or whatever

725
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: it is. Because for a good year, I was completely

726
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: dependent on people helping me just eat and do basic things.

727
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: So it really kind of was a humbling experience and

728
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm still dealing with it. I'm still learning from it,

729
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 1: but it's I wish to hell it had never happened,

730
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: and I often am just thinking back to just the

731
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: days just before I had my stroke. My life seems

732
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: so beautiful, but I didn't realize how beautiful it was.

733
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: And I tell people a lot, don't take for granted

734
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: the little things you have right now, because something like

735
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: this happens, they could be gone and you don't realize

736
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: until after it's gone. So it's been. It's been the

737
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: worst and the most powerful experience in my life so far. Wow.

738
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about the law of

739
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: human nature. You know, it's a great book, and you

740
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: know you you talk about why people do what they

741
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,919
Speaker 1: do and how you can use both your own psychological

742
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: flaws and those of others to your advantage at work

743
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: and relationships in life. How much does technology influence the

744
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: laws of human nature? Because to your point, I think

745
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: people wake up nowadays and they get online social media

746
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: to even know what to think, to even know what

747
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: to feel. I don't even think people's natural thoughts of

748
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: their own. They don't, they don't tap into that. So

749
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 1: how much does the technology influence the laws of human nature? Well?

750
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 1: So human nature is something that's that's something we don't

751
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: we're not even aware of. It's so deep, with enough,

752
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: it comes from literally millions of years of evolution, and

753
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: how our brains are wired from circumstances completely different from

754
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: our very sophisticated technological society. How our levels of fear

755
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: and how our emotions are wired, How we're extremely susceptible

756
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: to the feelings and ideas of other people around us,

757
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: in our tribe or whatever, and how we're prone to

758
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: feelings envy, and how the human being can feel aggressive

759
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: and tribal, etc. And so technology hasn't changed that. So

760
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: twenty thirty years of the internet is not going to

761
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 1: rewire the human brain that evolved over so many millions

762
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: of years. It's ridiculous to think that. In what it

763
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,959
Speaker 1: does is it makes things worse. It intensifies so many

764
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: of the worst aspects of human nature. So I talk

765
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: in the book of the power of envy. Envy is

766
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: one of the oldest and most profound human emotions. We

767
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: all experience it, right, but nobody ever likes to talk

768
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: about it because it's a very ugly emotion. It's basically,

769
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: you wish that you have something that other people have,

770
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: and if it gets ugly enough, you act upon it. Well.

771
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: Social media, in which we are aware on a level

772
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 1: unimaginable ten twenty years ago, of every little thing going

773
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: on in your life, of all the wonderful relationships you're having,

774
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: of all of the great places you're visiting, all your

775
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: wonderful travel experiences, etc. It's just a machine for generating

776
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: envy among people, and we see that having political consequences

777
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: and profound social consequences. And so the idea that I'm on,

778
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: you know, the fear of missing out, you have to

779
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: feel like you're doing what other people doing, where natural

780
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: conformists is part of human nature, and this only kind

781
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: of makes that worse. And then the fact that we

782
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 1: have a dark side. I talk in the book that

783
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: we have a shadow. There's a dark side to our character.

784
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: Every single person has that. Well, on the Internet where

785
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: you're basically anonymous, where you don't pay any consequences for

786
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: being mean spirited, for being for bullying, for saying the

787
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: stupidest things. Here you can just try out all of

788
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 1: the worst parts of your character and pay no consequences.

789
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: So it's just this this cool of all the worst

790
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: parts of human nature that that can that can just

791
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: kind of sit there and fester. I mean, there's a

792
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: good part of social media. I don't deny that, but

793
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: it hasn't changed human nature. It's just showing it a

794
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,919
Speaker 1: very powerful spotlight on it. Man. That's such a good point,

795
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: especially when you think about, you know, the dark side

796
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: and how everybody had the dark side because you know,

797
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: you can look back at old tweets all, you know,

798
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: old video everything, and you you can be looking at

799
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: yourself and be like Jesus Christ, who was that? You

800
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean? But you were fueling the machine

801
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: that is social media because that's what with the gas

802
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,720
Speaker 1: that made it go at the time. Yeah, it lives

803
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: off of outrage. It lives off constantly generating people being

804
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: upset and angry about things. And the angry you are,

805
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: and the more you, you know, you kind of spew

806
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 1: whatever your ideas are, the more people like you, the

807
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: more you seem genuine, the more you seem animated and

808
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: very you know, full of conviction. So it could be

809
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: very dangerous. And we've seen the play out, I believe

810
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: in the Trump era and some of the horrible things

811
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: we went through for four years with his Twitter feed, etc.

812
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: Now I want to talk about there's been a lot

813
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: of conversations lately about ownership and entrepreneurship, and you have

814
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: interesting things to say about self reliance and how partnerships

815
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: and how you kind of have to have ownership and

816
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: things so that you're not relying on other people. Do

817
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: you think that's a trait that anybody can have. Well,

818
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: you know, there's we're all wired differently. Some people are

819
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: not entrepreneurial by nature. They have higher levels of fear,

820
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: for example, And so there are people out there who

821
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 1: are better off working for a large company. My father,

822
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: God bless him, I loved him dearly. He worked for

823
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: the same company for forty years. You know. He was

824
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: basically a salesman and he had he's kind of working

825
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: on his own, but it was with this one company.

826
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: So some people aren't wired for that. But the world

827
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: that we live in, I think is just this a

828
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: place now that kind of rewards that sort of spirit.

829
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: And we're in a period coming out of the pandemic

830
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 1: where all the signs seem to indicate that we're heading

831
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: towards some kind of boom, some kind of economic boom.

832
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: There's going to be incredible opportunity out there. People are

833
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: dying for all kinds of new experiences. I know that

834
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,720
Speaker 1: very myself. We've all been cooped up in our houses,

835
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: our apartments, and we're yearning for something new. And so

836
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 1: there's going to be insane opportunities out there for starting

837
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: your own business on any level. And so you have

838
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 1: to deal though first with your levels of fear, because

839
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: what happens with people is they say, I have a

840
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: great idea, but I'm not ready yet. I need to

841
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: find the financing, I need to find the help. And

842
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: I always tell people your go before you think you're ready,

843
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: because you're going to learn a lot more when you

844
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: try something, you're gonna find, like we talked about the

845
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 1: death ground strategy, when it's either get this thing off

846
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: the ground or you're gonna lose a lot of money,

847
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: you'll find a whole other level of energy to you.

848
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: But I think all of us can learn to be

849
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: self reliant. We just have to deal with that first

850
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: initial fear of failure, of being on our own, etc.

851
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: And that's sort of what the fiftieth law was about.

852
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: All right, well, ole move, We got more with Robert

853
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 1: Green when we come back is the Breakfast Club Good

854
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: Morning's DJ Envy Angela Yee Schal. Imagine the guy we

855
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: ought to Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Robert Green, Chalomagne.

856
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people nowadays, you know, to

857
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: go back to the forty law of party. They stir

858
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: up water to catch fish, right, but we call them

859
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: trolls now Oh God, is the prize worth it for

860
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: a troll to stir shop just because? Yeah, I mean,

861
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: it's it's that's what I talked about when I was

862
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: mentioned the dark side of human nature, you know, so

863
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: normally the reason what I talked where the dark side

864
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: comes out from is when you were a kid, you

865
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: were kind of this complete person you had. You had

866
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: an aggressive side, you had a kind side. You would

867
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 1: pull your sister's hair, you would tease her, you would

868
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: do all kinds of mean things were like I did

869
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: to my sister, and then you could be kind and sweet,

870
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: and slowly over the years it's kind of pounded out

871
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: of you. You have to be a good person. You

872
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: have to be nice, you have to be polite, you

873
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: have to hide all of those dark that dark energy

874
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: that you felt when you were a child, and then

875
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: you get older and you want to act out on it. Well,

876
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: some people have that more than others. They never quite

877
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: grew up. They felt like that kind of repressing that

878
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:40,720
Speaker 1: dark side was they lost something very valuable about themselves.

879
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: They're yearning to let it out, and so trolling is

880
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 1: the absolute best way at it, you know, and social

881
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: media is like the perfect instrument for being a troll.

882
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: You know, you can say the worst possible things and

883
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 1: get under people's skin. And all. We're all volatile, we're

884
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: all emotional. I've dealt with it myself. When I had

885
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: laws of human nature out, I would posting things out

886
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: on Facebook, and these really bitgy, mead spirited people would

887
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: come out of the woodwork and would post the stupidest comments.

888
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I can withstand people being malicious and all that,

889
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: but I can't stand stupidity where they actually think they're

890
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: smart and they have some kind of counter argument to

891
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: a book I spent five years researching, and they in

892
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: their little apartment on their computer, who's maybe spent two

893
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 1: hours thinking about it. They know more than me. You know,

894
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 1: it really gets you angry. But I found you know,

895
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm not going to deal How do you deal with

896
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: the troll The best way to deal with them is

897
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: to ignore them. Don't feed the trolls, as we say,

898
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, and we all dealt with it with Trump,

899
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: to be honest with I don't want to get too political,

900
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: but here, but he was like the troller in chief,

901
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: the president troll of our country, and he knew how

902
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: to get under everybody's skin and rile them up. And

903
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: I've spent four years getting continually riled up by his

904
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: trolling maneuvers, and it's a great relief to not to

905
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 1: have that anymore. But you have to when you're dealing

906
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: with a troll, you have to control yourself because their

907
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 1: power lies in getting you angry and upset. And if

908
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,240
Speaker 1: you refuse to get angry and upset, if you refuse

909
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: to take debit and respond to them, then they feel like,

910
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, then they feel challenged, they feel like they

911
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: had they didn't win. So that's the best response to

912
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: a troll, you know. And in light of the me

913
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: too movement? Right, do you regret anything you wrote in

914
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: the Artist Abduction? Because you even refer to targets that

915
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: subduction as prey choose the write victim. Would you change

916
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: any of that now? I think I would. I think

917
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: I would. I wouldn't shoot change the gist of the book,

918
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 1: but I would. It's interesting because I've been having this

919
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: discussion with a few people who've been interviewing me lately,

920
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,720
Speaker 1: some feminists, etc. And yes, I would change the word victim.

921
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: I think that's inappropriate, and I would maybe change some

922
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 1: of the press it or pray stuff, and I think that,

923
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 1: you know, we live in kind of slightly puritanical times,

924
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: I believe, No, yeah, puritanical now. I like that because

925
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,320
Speaker 1: me and my homeboy Van, we always talk about, you know,

926
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: there's there's these purity tests that you just won't be

927
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 1: able to pass. Ever, but for whatever reason, we live

928
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: in an era where everything has to be pure. That's impossible. Yeah. Well,

929
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's like everyone has to you know, virtue signaling.

930
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 1: They have to show how they're they're the most woke

931
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: person that they have the most virtuous out there. And

932
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: so I don't want to totally get rid of that

933
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,439
Speaker 1: edge to it. You know, I don't want to feel

934
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: live in a world where everybody in culture, rap artists, filmmakers,

935
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: feel like they always have to tow a line. They

936
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: can't say or do something. We can't be honest anymore

937
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: about ourselves, about who we are, about human nature. We

938
00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:00,760
Speaker 1: are not angels, right, We are descended from primates, not angels,

939
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: and we have to come to terms with that. And

940
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: so I'm afraid that we're entering a period where people

941
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: are afraid to say their emotions or to express what's

942
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: really going on inside of their censoring themselves, right, And

943
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: I know you say that that is again fear right,

944
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: because you're not able to just sometimes go right into

945
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 1: the fire and be who you are because you're always

946
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: concerned about what other people might think about you, what

947
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: might happen to you as a result or something that

948
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: you say. Well, I mean, look at the consequences. Now,

949
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: you say one wrong thing and your band from some

950
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: platform or nobody, your boycotted on some level. So the

951
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 1: fear there is real. You know, if I suddenly said

952
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: something so controversial on this show, I won't do it

953
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: where people are so up in arms they start saying,

954
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 1: Robert Green is evil, He's the devil. We can't We're

955
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: going to burn the forty eight laws of power. You know,

956
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: I'd suffer very strong financial consequences. That doesn't happen if

957
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: he said it doesn't I mean he said I feel

958
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 1: like he says whatever's on his mind and it could

959
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: be controversial and it's still booming. Yeah, I mean, he

960
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 1: he lives off that. That's how he gets publicity, you know.

961
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: But he doesn't matter, does he ever? Do you ever

962
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 1: get the impression that he kind of goes over the

963
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: line that he says something that's that's that offensive. Yeah,

964
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: but but I mean I get it though you know

965
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I understand it. So it's like when

966
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: I put it like this, when he said certain things,

967
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: it's not that it goes over the line with me,

968
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: but I know that it'll go over the line with

969
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: some people. But you know, he's he's an anomaly. It's like,

970
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: I feel like if somebody else said some of the

971
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: things that he said, it would be way worse than

972
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: anything that would happen to him. For some reason, he's

973
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 1: mass I don't know if it's because he's been working

974
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: with you, but he's master something strategies where he's able

975
00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: to just yeah, it's it's amazing to me. I'm like,

976
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: oh my god, I can't believe if he said that,

977
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: and then it's fine. Well, part of it's his personality.

978
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:09,240
Speaker 1: He's very charismatic, he's very charming, he's kind of sweet.

979
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: He's got a very good sense of humor. Now I

980
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: only got two more questions. I want to talk to

981
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 1: you about meditation, because you know that's something a good

982
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: friend of mine named named Debbie Brown is trying to

983
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: get have been trying to get me to add to

984
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: my mind fulness repertoire forever. And I started doing it

985
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 1: over New Year's Eve. Ye New Year's congratulations. Oh man,

986
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 1: I love it like it's amazing for me. What does

987
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 1: your meditation practice look like. Well, I do a form

988
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: of zen meditation, which is a bit difficult. I've been

989
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: doing it for close to eleven years now, and I

990
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: do it forty minutes after as soon as I wake up.

991
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: And I turned it into a little ritual because I

992
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 1: like rituals as a writer. It's kind of how you live.

993
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 1: And then for forty minutes, and forty minutes is a

994
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 1: pretty long time, I try and completely empty my mind,

995
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 1: no thoughts, nothing going on. I can honestly say that

996
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 1: meditation is saved my life. I don't think I would

997
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: be here without it. Wow. And in this world today,

998
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 1: with so many distractions, with so many things in our face,

999
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: you've got people have to meditate it. I mean, if

1000
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: you can, it's it's it's it's it's life saving, it's

1001
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,280
Speaker 1: it's the most important thing for you. My last question,

1002
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 1: do you think we'll ever have a true understanding of

1003
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: power and human nature? Well, it depends. I mean probably not.

1004
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: Because I told people the first law of human nature

1005
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: is that we deny that we have human nature. We

1006
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: don't want to admit it. We don't want to admit

1007
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: that we can be irrational or aggressive or grandiose or

1008
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: field envy, or that we have a dark side, on

1009
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,320
Speaker 1: and on and on. It's always the other person. Power

1010
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 1: is a dirty little secret in our culture. People will

1011
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 1: talk about their sex lives, they'll talk about whatever it is,

1012
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: they'll reveal everything going on, what they had for breakfast, etc.

1013
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,280
Speaker 1: But nobody will ever talk about the power, the power

1014
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: moves they did to get ahead in life. And we

1015
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: all have done them right, We've all been manipulative in

1016
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: some way to get to the top. If we got

1017
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: to the top. So there's a lack of honesty about

1018
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: who we are and about our desire for power and

1019
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: the things we do for power. And I don't think

1020
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: that's getting any better. You know, maybe in two hundred

1021
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: years a ray of light, well it will hit earth

1022
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: and people will will change and they'll suddenly be more

1023
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: self aware, and that would be a wonderful thing, but

1024
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't bet on it. Wow, well man, thank you, Robert,

1025
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, thank you for all your literature, all information

1026
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: you've given us over the years, the conversation you create.

1027
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: Thank you for Ryan Holiday, who's also become one of

00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: She's filling the team. This is the Rumor Report with

1038
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 1: Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Demi Levado's movie,

1039
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: Demi Levado Dancing with the Devil. It's a four part

1040
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: documentary that premier is today actually on YouTube Originals. Reveals

1041
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: a lot and in this documentaries she talks about dealing

1042
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: with her addiction and also a nearly fatal overdose in

1043
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Here is the trailer. I crossed a line

1044
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: that I had never crossed. Are we talking about heroin?

1045
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: Are we doing that? Is a lot? People are gasping

1046
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:04,399
Speaker 1: action levels or dangerously well, what you mean watching all

1047
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: of her blood out of her body into a machine.

1048
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 1: She's like, I can't I can't see I can't see him.

1049
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: I had three strokes, I had a heart attack. My

1050
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: doctors said that I had five to ten more minutes

1051
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 1: that could top and said, yeah, you could be. You

1052
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: know a lot of people can be a function to heroin.

1053
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: And never you ain't gonna never get off, doctor Carl Hard.

1054
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,240
Speaker 1: This lady, this lady heroin had strokes and heart attacks,

1055
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: had to take the blood out of her system. And

1056
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: she's rich, and she's rich, Doctor Carl Hart would say

1057
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: that she should be able to test her drugs right

1058
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: to see what's in it right, because if she probably

1059
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: took something that had other things in it other than pure,

1060
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: well she did, she said she, She said she had

1061
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: that night done meth and she had never done it before,

1062
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: and she makes it with ecstasy, coke weed, alcohol, and oxycotton.

1063
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: So that was the night of the first relapse when yes,

1064
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: all of that happened. So it feels like he and

1065
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: he also did say mixing all these drugs together is

1066
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: normally what leads to people overdosing, and she could have

1067
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: died from that. She said she has brain damage that

1068
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: she still deals with the effect of that today. She said,

1069
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't drive a car because I have blind spots

1070
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: in my vision. She said she had a really hard

1071
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 1: time reading for a long time, and it was a

1072
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: big deal when she was able to read a book

1073
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 1: because her vision was so blurry from that. So you

1074
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 1: can start watching that docuseries. She also said that it

1075
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,320
Speaker 1: was an untreated eating disorder that led to her relapse.

1076
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: She read a magazine that said she was morbidly obese,

1077
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 1: and the body shaming is actually what led to her relapse.

1078
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: I know these three words it easier said than done,

1079
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: and they sound cliche, and I don't necessarily agree with

1080
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: the reagans at all, but damn just saying no, bro,

1081
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: it's just easier to keep people from even getting into

1082
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,359
Speaker 1: that world is trying to figure out the right way

1083
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: to do the wrong thing, and also body shaming and

1084
00:56:58,239 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: all of that just She said she had to stop

1085
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 1: a read articles about herself and that also helped her

1086
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,280
Speaker 1: because people were talking about her, and you know, that's

1087
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: not easy to deal with either when you're in the

1088
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,879
Speaker 1: public spotlight. She's been working since she was ten years old.

1089
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: All right, now, comedian Garry owens estranged wife Kenya Duke

1090
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 1: has gone on social media. Now she posted something and

1091
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 1: we don't know what's going on here, but somehow Claudia

1092
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: Jordan and a mystery friend, a mystery woman is involved.

1093
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 1: She posted, I have all your info. I'm going to

1094
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: deal with you in a minute. I'm a little busy. Now.

1095
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 1: You can have him, but you can't disrespect me and

1096
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: my kids in the process. She told Owen let her

1097
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: know a storm is coming, and then she put in

1098
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 1: the caption tried to be quiet out of respect for

1099
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: my kids, but Claudia Jordan has me on one this morning,

1100
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: twenty three years together. Gary didn't have ish but a

1101
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: raggedy pickup, in good credit and no place to live.

1102
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: And then she posted you're old as should no better married,

1103
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: not separated married, And then she posted to at Gary

1104
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: Owen Comedy, all the energy you spent lying, acting and

1105
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: creating a fake narrative for these bitches that want to

1106
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: be me, you could have done it with a veggie

1107
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: burger and a glass of fake filtered water. Then she

1108
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 1: said white women are not involved. Hashtag not Claudia. Hashtag

1109
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: Claudia's friend hashtag dragging me back to ninety eight MacArthur Street. Mindset.

1110
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: What the hell are y'all talking about this morning? I

1111
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,919
Speaker 1: don't know, and guess what neither this Claudia Jordan. Here's

1112
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: what she had to say. I guess the story is

1113
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 1: that I somehow that he cheated and the woman is

1114
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 1: my friend. First of all, in my twenty years of

1115
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: knowing him, not one of my friends have ever told

1116
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: me or have ever implied that they have messed with

1117
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: this man. And also know, as adults, sometimes people break up, y'all,

1118
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: and it's not as scandals as you wanted to be.

1119
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 1: It's none of our business. But all I came out

1120
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 1: here to tell y'all is that I have absolutely nothing

1121
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 1: to do with it. I do not have a friend

1122
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: in Dallas or anywhere else that is this man's mistress.

1123
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if any woman that's his mistress. I

1124
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: do not know what the hell y'all talking about. One

1125
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: thing she said that is very true, It is none

1126
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 1: of our business. But the problem is all of this

1127
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: stuff plays out on social media. So when it plays

1128
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: out on social media, people think it becomes their business

1129
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: because now they feel like they have to have an

1130
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,919
Speaker 1: opinion about it, and I wish none of social media.

1131
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: When I saw this, I went right to Claudia's page

1132
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: to see if she had responded to it, and I

1133
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: saw she was on a flight and her comments. People

1134
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 1: were going at her, and she was like, what are

1135
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: y'all talking about? What? I'm on the flight right now.

1136
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening. So she said, a raggedy

1137
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: ass pickup truck, bad jokes and good credit. What did

1138
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 1: she say? You're just doing the bad job. I think

1139
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 1: the bad jokes, jokes you pick up and good credit

1140
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: and no place to live about bad jokes for no reason.

1141
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: I want you to heat. I was asking the question

1142
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: when you get out of no phone call, whatever it is,

1143
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Gary, I want you to heat. Vy's asks,

1144
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: are you just gonna throw bad jokes? I didn't mean

1145
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 1: to throw bad jokes, I asked, I don't know what

1146
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,040
Speaker 1: a veggie burger has to do with it. That's I

1147
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 1: actually just bad random stuff. I was just asking what

1148
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: it was, that's all. I was. Nothing to play out

1149
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 1: on social media. I really don't play out regardless, yet.

1150
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 1: I hope they work things out. Man. Gary's a good dude. No,

1151
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 1: don't try to throw that on him now if you

1152
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 1: said that, man, I'm just asking a question. Gary is

1153
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 1: a funny dude. He just asked up. Gary, I asked

1154
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 1: what she said. He ain't here dressed like one of

1156
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:26,400

1157
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: to talk about you jump on his asks when you

1158
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:29,800

1181
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 1: talk you today for Tuesday, March twenty third goes to

1182
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: a former Louisiana priest named Travis Clark. Travis Clark is

1183
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: thirty seven years old and he's a former priest. Did

1184
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: I say that already? Yes? I did. But he is

1185
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 1: a former priest. I'm saying that for a third time.

1186
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: Why is he a former priest saying it for a

1187
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 1: fourth time. Well, he's a former priest saying it for

1188
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 1: a fifth time because he wasn't practicing what he was preaching. Okay,

1189
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: it's a lot of that going around nowadays, and I

1190
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 1: don't know how y'all live that way. Okay, I'm doing

1191
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: my own head about everything to live that way. That's

1192
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I'm in therapy every week. That's

1193
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: why I meditate the way my anxiety is set up.

1194
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: I'm always questioning everything. Okay, anxiety be like, okay, but

1195
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 1: what if I'd be like, I got this, leave me alone.

1196
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: We've gone over this one hundred times already and we

1197
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: totally resolved it. Did anxiety be like, yeah, but I've

1198
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: looked at it from a new angle, and there's like

1199
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: twenty more reasons why you should be worried about it

1200
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: than me. I just sit there and then I tell anxiety,

1201
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 1: go on, continue, tell me more. And this is why

1202
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: I could never just lie to people. And I'm a

1203
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 1: human who loves to lie for no reason. But I

1204
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 1: tell the kind of lies that you will hear and

1205
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 1: shay to yourself. I know he's lying, but you have

1206
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 1: to see for yourself. And when you find out I'm lying,

1207
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 1: you're not really mad because you knew I was lying

1208
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:10,439
Speaker 1: to begin with. For example, last week, I told Envy

1209
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: that Security was dealing with a guy downstairs who refused

1210
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: to leave until he got a kiss from our pink

1211
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 1: power ranger DJ Envy. Now, Envy, did you believe me

1212
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 1: when I told you that? Yes? No, you didn't. You did? Yeah,

1213
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: I caused the cur to securities like, what the hell

1214
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Why would you believe that? Though?

1215
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: That's you? But see that that's my point. You know

1216
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 1: it's me. You know I'm lying. I'm saying all that

1217
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: to say, I'm just not built to lie to the masses. Okay,

1218
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 1: just Envy, all right, I'm not I'm not built to

1219
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: lie to the masses. Okay. Pastors, relationship coaches, spiritual gurus,

1220
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: all these people who need these colt like followings to

1221
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 1: make a living, to make a dollar, manipulating folks pretending

1222
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: to be something they are not know Okay, but it's

1223
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: not gonna stop anytime soon, because this online era we

1224
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 1: live in really rewards people for performing. Everybody is an avatar.

1225
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: They log online and become people they are not in

1226
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: real life. But one thing about those performances, though, the

1227
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: curtain will always fall. Yes, when you are performing and

1228
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: not truly being who you are, not being authentic, the

1229
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: curtain will eventually fall and this show will be over.

1230
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: That's why Travis Clark is a farmer priest, Ladies and Ghettlement.

1231
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 1: He's a farmer priest because his idea of the Trinity

1232
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 1: is different than the idea of the Trinity that most

1233
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: religious folks know. Christians in particular, they know the Trinity

1234
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 1: as the unity of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

1235
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 1: The Godhead is what I think they call it, the Godhead. Now,

1236
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: Travis Clark believe in the Trinity is being one Dominatrix.

1237
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: Am I pronouncing that right? Yea dominatrix? Yes? That so, Yes,

1238
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 1: Travis Clark believes in the Trinity is being one dominatrix,

1239
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: two dominatrixes and him. Okay, I don't know what kind

1240
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 1: of head you what, I'm sure someone's involved. Would you

1241
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 1: like to know the full story? Let's go to wwltvcbs

1242
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: fall for the report. Police. By now you've likely heard

1243
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 1: about the burning of an altar at a Pearl River church.

1244
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: Investigator David Hammer brought you the story this week about

1245
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: Father Travis Clark and his sexual misconduct inside Saints Peter

1246
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: and Paul Church and Pearl River. Now, according to documents,

1247
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: a passer by spotted father Travis Clark halfneck at having

1248
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: relations on the the women, Melissa Chang and Mindy Dixon

1249
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 1: were dressed in corsettes and high healed boots, and in

1250
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 1: those documents that were adult toys, stage lighting and a

1251
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 1: mobile phone as well as a separate camera recording it all.

1252
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: Father Travis Clark, you in the church on the all

1253
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 1: to having sex using holy water is lou b listen, man,

1254
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 1: the flesh is weak. We all fall short. I'm sure

1255
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: Travis Clark has preached against this kind of behavior, but

1256
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 1: this is when the narcissism comes into place. This is

1257
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:02,919
Speaker 1: when the ego takes over. It's one thing to fall

1258
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: short and have sex, Okay, you human, father calrk. I

1259
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: get it, you made a mistake. But to have sex

1260
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: in the church a top of church, alto, that's like

1261
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: sleeping with another woman in your house, in the bed

1262
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: you share with your wife. When you, as a priest

1263
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: move like that, you don't care about the church, the congregation, yourself,

1264
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: and you can't truly care about God or his raf either. Now.

1265
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: I was reading up on Christian sex life this morning,

1266
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: and it's a website called Bible Reasons, and it says

1267
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 1: Christian sex life is amazing. Sex within marriage is a

1268
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: blessing from God, and married couples were free to do

1269
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 1: any sexual position they want, whether you want to do

1270
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 1: missionary or something else. Sex within marriage is God's gift

1271
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: to us, or you're free to do whatever between the

1272
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 1: two of you. Only we are not to have threesomes

1273
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 1: and sex with multiple people, nor are we allowed to

1274
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: bring pornography in the bedroom. So, Father Clark, you did

1275
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 1: a threesome and the church on the church altar with

1276
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: two women. You're not married to, Father Clock. You're going

1277
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: to hell. Those are the rules. Okay? Are those still

1278
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: the rules? He'll still exists, right, Okay, do not pass, go,

1279
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: do not collect two hundred, Go to Hell, Father Clark. Okay,

1280
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 1: you could have been on Christian mingle finding a wife

1281
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: so you could have nice, guilt free marriage, sinless sex.

1282
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 1: But no, you want to have threesomes on the church altar.

1283
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 1: Now you gotta go to hell. Okay, I think God

1284
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 1: would have forgiven you if you would have did this

1285
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 1: in the hotel, But on the church altar, the church altar, Nope,

1286
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: you gotta burn. Okay, please, and the name of God,

1287
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: Jesus and the Holy Ghost. Let Rimymond give Father Travis

1288
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 1: Clark the biggest he ha he ha he ha, you

1289
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,920

01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: whole church altar on fire because of Father Clock Judea

1293
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:08,680

1294
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Hello, good morning, Cynthia. How are

1295
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 1: you got? Good? Thank you? How you doing? I'm blessed

1296
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: Black and hally Fame. Well, obviously we're here to talk

1297
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 1: about the genius Aretha series that you're starring in as Aretha.

1298
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: So were you a huge fan of everything? Because I

1299
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 1: know you're already a singer and a songwriter. What was

1300
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 1: your connection before the series? Yeah, I was a big fan.

1301
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan. I started listening to her maybe

1302
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: when I was about nine, and I fell in love

1303
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 1: with how she communicated through her music, how she was

1304
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:47,679
Speaker 1: able to commit a feeling, an emotion, a circumstance through song.

1305
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,600
Speaker 1: And I was learning through her how to do that

1306
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: for myself. So how did this role? How did this

1307
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 1: role come about. I was on the red carpet at

1308
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:01,719
Speaker 1: the Tony's and I was asked by Mark A Variety

1309
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 1: to sing my favorite song or like my guilty pleasure song,

1310
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 1: and Ain't No Way was one of my songs. And

1311
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: in fact, he didn't ask me to sing, He just

1312
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 1: asked me what it was. And then when I told

1313
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:11,799
Speaker 1: him what it was, he sort of gave the notework.

1314
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: Sing some of it please, So I sung a bit

1315
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 1: of the song and that went back to Brian Grazer

1316
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:20,760
Speaker 1: and Clyde Davis, and then I got a message saying

1317
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 1: that they had heard me sing this on the red

1318
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 1: carpet and that they wanted me to come in and

1319
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 1: talk about playing the role. Cynthia's the most important thing

1320
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 1: when it comes to playing these roles, because the first

1321
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 1: thing I think is when I see it, I say,

1322
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: like a river, Franklin. So what's the most important thing?

1323
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 1: I think The most important thing is whether or not

1324
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 1: you can find the essence of that person, because it's

1325
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 1: one thing to mimic a person, but that's not what

1326
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:49,680
Speaker 1: I am. I'm I'm not a mimic. I can't do that.

1327
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm not. An impressionist and if that's

1328
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 1: all I was, the rest of the story couldn't be told.

1329
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 1: So I guess it's wanting to tell the story as

1330
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 1: fully as possible. It's one to find out what the

1331
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 1: essence of her was. It is finding out what her

1332
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 1: music did and how her music was song and met

1333
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:08,760
Speaker 1: the method that she was singing in, the technique she had,

1334
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: and it's the I think the want of everyone around

1335
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:15,680
Speaker 1: me as well to want to tell it, just the

1336
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 1: same as Dinah Russ did for Lady Day. She looked,

1337
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 1: but she had her essence down to her. Tea was

1338
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: really special. So we able to speak with the family

1339
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: before doing this and maybe get some insight about her

1340
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 1: life and anything like that. I was able to speak

1341
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 1: to her family, but I'm lucky enough to know a

1342
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 1: lot of people who were very close to her, so

1343
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 1: I spoke to a lot of those people. Had a

1344
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:39,560
Speaker 1: conversation with Miss Felicia Richard as well about Everytha and

1345
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: Lynda's herman actual spoke to us about their relationship and

1346
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: how he felt about her, and that was a wonderful

1347
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 1: thing to find out too. Yeah, it was difficult, I

1348
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: think for you to be in this position right where

1349
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,600
Speaker 1: you want to play this iconic role. But then there

1350
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 1: was so much controversy with the family and everything as

1351
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 1: whether or not they wanted this to even have been

1352
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 1: So how did that play into your decision? The thing

1353
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:06,720
Speaker 1: is I didn't know about what was happening with the

1354
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: family prior to this. All of this is sort of

1355
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 1: like coming out in the wash now. So for me,

1356
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:15,600
Speaker 1: I had already believed that everyone had the information and

1357
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 1: the promotions that they needed, and as far as I knew,

1358
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 1: they were already speaking to the estate that had already

1359
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 1: allowed for this to happen. So my job was just

1360
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 1: to play the Queen of Soul as fully and as

1361
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 1: truthfully as I possibly could. Yeah, and it's heartbreaking because

1362
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 1: for me, I love her. I would never do anything

1363
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 1: that causes any harm to her. I would never do

1364
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 1: anything that doesn't show her in the light that she's

1365
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 1: meant to be shown. The woman had an incredible life

1366
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,439
Speaker 1: and incredible career and had to work through some really

1367
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 1: tough things, And I think that the thing that we

1368
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: get to show with this is how much she had

1369
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 1: to work to get to where she was and how

1370
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 1: difficult it was at the time that she was living

1371
01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 1: through to get to the thing that we know now,

1372
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:02,680
Speaker 1: which for me makes her even more of a hero

1373
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 1: than we realized. Did you have any reservations the player's

1374
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 1: role because of the respect movie that's coming out Lady

1375
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 1: this year? With me, I think that the more the merrier.

1376
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 1: I think there's a strange understanding that we can only

1377
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: have one. But we have many Marilyn Monroe films, many

1378
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 1: Judie Garland films, many presidents films of who which name

1379
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,640
Speaker 1: the President? And we have more than one. And I

1380
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 1: thought that what a wonderful way. I knew that she

1381
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 1: would get her wish with Jennifer Hudson and she would

1382
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:34,759
Speaker 1: get an extra with my version. So you were singing

1383
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,600
Speaker 1: for real in this series. Yeah, that's a lot of

1384
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 1: pariasure too, to be singing these areta signs because you know,

1385
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: everybody's like, okay, but you did amazing, Thank you very much,

1386
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah. I've been singing her songs for a

1387
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 1: long time now. She's too, I learned from so I

1388
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 1: was really excited to learn the intricacies of the decision

1389
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 1: she would make it in a song. No one song

1390
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 1: is the same. She has her own very special way

1391
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: of singing everything, and one song can be sung in

1392
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 1: three different ways. If you if you listen to different

1393
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 1: versions by Aretha, and I took the time every song

1394
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: that we had an hour or an hour or two

1395
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: to work through every single one to make sure that

1396
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:14,639
Speaker 1: I could get the small bits and pieces, the small

1397
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 1: details that she would happen the songs. Yeah, would you

1398
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 1: sing though? Right? Do I do? I do sing? Yeah?

1399
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:23,960
Speaker 1: You got an album coming out this songer? Right I do? Yes?

1400
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: Who you sign? Would verb universal? Yeah? Okay, so you're

1401
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: doing a lot. You got an album during this pandemic,

1402
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 1: You're acting during this pandemic. You're doing a lot. You

1403
01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 1: making sure your time is if you're doing your time

1404
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 1: the right way. I was recording it whilst I was

1405
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 1: doing so we would finish in the week and I

1406
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 1: would have to go and vocal everything after on the weekend,

1407
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 1: so we get the week was full of Aretha. The

1408
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 1: weekend was full of me singing. How do you dump that? Though?

1409
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,559
Speaker 1: I mean you you you're channeling like this great diva

1410
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 1: during the week, Like, how do you put that to

1411
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 1: the side to focus on the energy you want to

1412
01:13:57,360 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: put out in your music? I don't know that you

1413
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 1: can completely you put it aside. I think that you

1414
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 1: know why, you kind of have to you have to

1415
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 1: use it. I guess I was using the inspiration that

1416
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 1: I was getting from from doing this show at the

1417
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,040
Speaker 1: same time, the details that she would have, the detail

1418
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 1: oriented where she would use her music, the style, and

1419
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 1: I know who I am individually, but there's a there's

1420
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:22,599
Speaker 1: a real passion in in a read that I sort

1421
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 1: of I already heard but was amplified because I got

1422
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 1: to play her. So I kind of used it. I

1423
01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 1: guess it's a great thing to be able to use

1424
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:32,240
Speaker 1: that kind of energy to perform. You sort of get

1425
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 1: fired up. Really yeah, just even for yourself, right and

1426
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 1: preparing for this role. And did you know a lot

1427
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:40,080
Speaker 1: of things about a Reatha or did you learn a

1428
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:41,920
Speaker 1: lot while doing this? Because I was watching it and

1429
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 1: I love a Retha Franklin. I was when her house

1430
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 1: was for sale and Detroit, I was like, I had

1431
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 1: this big road in the middle of the carpet. I

1432
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 1: was like, man, I wish I could buy this to

1433
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 1: read the house. That's like a monumental thing. But even

1434
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 1: when you're watching the first couple of episodes, you're you're

1435
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 1: learning a lot about her childhood and how crazy it

1436
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 1: was yeah, I knew. I knew some things and I

1437
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 1: learned some things, you know. I think it's an incredible

1438
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: feat to be able to be who she was after

1439
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: being a mother at such an early age. And I

1440
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 1: knew it, but when you're working through it and you

1441
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:18,440
Speaker 1: and you're putting it in context, it becomes even more amplified.

1442
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:22,600
Speaker 1: That this woman had to be a mother and a

1443
01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,720
Speaker 1: young woman before she was even ready to, but still

1444
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:29,719
Speaker 1: was able to work through that and become Aretha Franklin

1445
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 1: that we know and love. I didn't know how deeply

1446
01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 1: she was working with the civil rights movement. I didn't

1447
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 1: know that she had a relationship with Martin close friends.

1448
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 1: That was an eye opening moment for me, and I

1449
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 1: think it was the first time that I was able

1450
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 1: to put into context the fact that she that her Young,

1451
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 1: Gifted and Black album was because of that, that she

1452
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,760
Speaker 1: had made a decision to make an album that spoke

1453
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: to the times that they were living through that she

1454
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 1: was living through. We have more with Cynthia Arriva when

1455
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 1: we come back. Doble was the Breakfast Good Morning, j Envy,

1456
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the Guy We Are the Breakfast Club

1457
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 1: were still kicking it with Cynthia Arrivo Charlomagne. What energy

1458
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:12,679
Speaker 1: have you channeled with for Rifa and Harriet for that matter,

1459
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:15,360
Speaker 1: that was hard to get rid of. Harriet was something

1460
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 1: to Harriet was traumatic, I would assume, Yeah, I had.

1461
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 1: I had a had a little mini breakdown after Harriet

1462
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,200
Speaker 1: because it was just tough to get rid of all

1463
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 1: of the loss because as she was saving people, she

1464
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 1: was losing a lot of her family at the same time.

1465
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: And she was she had lost her husband, she had

1466
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 1: lost her sisters. She saved her family, but I think

1467
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 1: she almost lost her brothers. So for that I it

1468
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 1: was like this energy of loss. But there's both both

1469
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: of these women have us an amazing amount of bravery.

1470
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 1: So there's this courage that I think have picked up

1471
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:53,519
Speaker 1: from both of these women. Yeah, we saw we saw

1472
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 1: the Keith Stanfield saying that he had to, you know,

1473
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 1: go to therapy after playing a role like William O'Neil.

1474
01:16:58,000 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 1: Did you have to do that after playing a role

1475
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: like her? Yes, still go to therapy for it. It's

1476
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: a lot. It was a lot too physically and mentally.

1477
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 1: Both those things combined were put through their paces. And yeah,

1478
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 1: I'm not like occasionally, you know, I thought she's gone,

1479
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 1: but even when I speak about it, it's still like

1480
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 1: gets me. Yeah, you know, it's an eight prior miniseries,

1481
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 1: so we've only seen the first couple of episodes so far.

1482
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:30,040
Speaker 1: But what it is hard to watch it's like a

1483
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 1: complex relationship that Aretha has with her father, right, So

1484
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:36,720
Speaker 1: can you speak on that and how you kind of

1485
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 1: delved into that when you were doing this role. But

1486
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:40,560
Speaker 1: he had a complex relation. I think she had a

1487
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 1: lot of complex relationships, and this one was significant because

1488
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 1: partially it's the reason why we have her. He you know,

1489
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:52,800
Speaker 1: had her out with him at a really early age,

1490
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 1: and she was listened to by a lot of people,

1491
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 1: and she was singing at a very early age. And

1492
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:03,160
Speaker 1: I think that she loved him deep deeply, was very

1493
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 1: afraid to let him go when he was when he

1494
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 1: was dying, and still partially was that little girl who

1495
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:11,600
Speaker 1: was afraid to be without her father. But at the

1496
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 1: same time, it was just she was an adult before

1497
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:17,560
Speaker 1: she was ready to be. And so if there was

1498
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:23,160
Speaker 1: this strange relationship of how do you compartmentalize and how

1499
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:26,760
Speaker 1: do you work out how to keep this child a

1500
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:30,639
Speaker 1: child whilst she's also a mother that that happened very quickly,

1501
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 1: and so I think that it never really balanced itself,

1502
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 1: to be honest. Yeah, that can be triggering too though, right, Cynthia,

1503
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:39,599
Speaker 1: if you don't have a strong relationship with your father

1504
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:42,640
Speaker 1: and you got to play that role, right, because I

1505
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 1: think a lot of times, for a lot of us,

1506
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: relationships were fathers sometimes are complicated because they feel more

1507
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: transactional than nurturing and loving like mothers. Yeah, for me,

1508
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 1: that's that's very true. I don't have a relationship with

1509
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:56,680
Speaker 1: my father at all. I think the last time I

1510
01:18:56,680 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 1: spoke to him I was sixteen. Yeah. Yeah, this role

1511
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 1: hit a little different for you. Huh oh yeah yeah.

1512
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 1: And you have your own production company as well, right, Yeah,

1513
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 1: it's called Edith's Daughter, And we are trying to make

1514
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:16,639
Speaker 1: sure we show projects about women like myself and yourself

1515
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 1: in spaces that we never get to see that we

1516
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 1: exist in already, but they're very rarely shown to the world. So,

1517
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: whether it be Sarah Forbes, Vanetta who was essentially a

1518
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:32,679
Speaker 1: princess in the UK but was basically erase from history,

1519
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 1: or a wonderful woman called Loadonna who happened to be

1520
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 1: a security guard at JFK, and often they're the most

1521
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:44,880
Speaker 1: underrepresented people in the space, but they're actually doing the

1522
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:48,800
Speaker 1: hardest work and I'm always looking for those people. There's

1523
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 1: everything from hopefully espionage to historical drama. You know you're cynthy.

1524
01:19:55,479 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 1: There's always criticism about non black Americans playing all the

1525
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 1: roles of Black American icons. I feel like that Carbo

1526
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 1: might have started with you when you played Harriet. I'm

1527
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: not sure, but what do you say about that? I

1528
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 1: don't think it started with me. May have started with

1529
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:13,560
Speaker 1: David maybe, but it definitely continued with me. What do

1530
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:18,680
Speaker 1: you say about that? I say that we're still in

1531
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:21,719
Speaker 1: a space of lack, and so what happens has become

1532
01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 1: at these roles as though that they're as though they

1533
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: are the very last time it can be played or seen,

1534
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 1: which is just not the case. And I hope that

1535
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 1: my playing something doesn't mean that someone else can't play

1536
01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:40,679
Speaker 1: this role, and that British Black actors are our actors

1537
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 1: first and foremost. Our job is to tell the story

1538
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:48,479
Speaker 1: as truthfully as we possibly can. And I know that

1539
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:52,360
Speaker 1: I didn't get into this career to play myself. I

1540
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:55,559
Speaker 1: do that very well already, but that's that's not my passion.

1541
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:58,679
Speaker 1: My passion is to tell stories of those who aren't

1542
01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:00,720
Speaker 1: able to tell their own stories. And that might be

1543
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 1: an American, it might be a Scandinavian, it could be

1544
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 1: South African, it could be Nigerian, it could be British.

1545
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 1: As long as the story is something that I believe in,

1546
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:12,479
Speaker 1: that's the story I want to tell, and hopefully now

1547
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:15,719
Speaker 1: I can create more roles for other people. That's the aim.

1548
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 1: Have you ever looked at an American playing a role

1549
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 1: of an African or you know, a British person and

1550
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: said that person shouldn't be playing that role because they're American. No. No,

1551
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: it's so strange because it didn't occur to me that

1552
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 1: that was that was an issue until until I got here.

1553
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 1: I've never looked like there are so many British roles

1554
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 1: that have been played by Americans, so many and they've

1555
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 1: been African roles played they Americans, but it's never I've

1556
01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 1: never been like wise in an African playing that role

1557
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 1: because rectors. Now, also, I see there was a rumor

1558
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:52,559
Speaker 1: that you were in a relationship with Lena. Waithe that's

1559
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 1: our good friend up here. Any truth to that? I mean,

1560
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 1: here's the thing like, I understand we have to ask it.

1561
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:01,840
Speaker 1: But if you ask that question and I'll give you

1562
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 1: an answer, that means that you are suggesting that I

1563
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: need to tell you what my sexuality is right now,

1564
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 1: which means that if I'm not ready to come out here,

1565
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 1: you would be outing me, Like how you do that

1566
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:16,679
Speaker 1: back on me? So let's so I didn't ask that question,

1567
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: but check out a wreath of the genius Aretha, and

1568
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:22,960
Speaker 1: we appreciate you for checking in. Thank you so much. Listen.

1569
01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:35,600
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, got angel, It's all right. Another alle you

1570
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:39,679
Speaker 1: for DJMV. Now let's talk about this was trending yesterday

1571
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 1: and everybody was talking about this guy, Derek Jackson. Now,

1572
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 1: I guess he is a relationship expert and he's a

1573
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,519
Speaker 1: quote relationship guru, and here he is. This is just

1574
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 1: one of the things that he talks about about men

1575
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:54,360
Speaker 1: being cheaters. You know, women love this talk coming from

1576
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:58,240
Speaker 1: a man. I have no sympathy for a man who

1577
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: finds it to be difficult to be faith after being

1578
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:04,559
Speaker 1: in a permission was lifestyle and neither ship. Nobody told

1579
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,559
Speaker 1: you to be permissious before the relationship, and nobody made

1580
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:09,760
Speaker 1: you be monogamous. We just heard you don't want her,

1581
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:13,080
Speaker 1: let another man have her. Except and more times, I

1582
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 1: would say nine times out of ten when the dude

1583
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 1: gets caught cheating, that was wasn't his very very first

1584
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 1: time cheating. That was his only time getting caught. Who. Well,

1585
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:24,840
Speaker 1: I hit dog Bill Holler and it was exposed that

1586
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:27,680
Speaker 1: he actually was cheating on his own wife. He's been

1587
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 1: married for four years. And YouTuber Tasha k actually interviewed

1588
01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:36,040
Speaker 1: a woman that he slept with named Candice Damaderos. And

1589
01:23:36,120 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 1: I guess there's other women who are also coming forward. Well,

1590
01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:43,640
Speaker 1: here is Derek Jackson who says that affair wasn't what

1591
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:46,519
Speaker 1: you think. Listen, at that point, I had a beef

1592
01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 1: with God. I gave my life to christ in my

1593
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 1: whole life fell apart, my marriage fell apart. At this point,

1594
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing my kids and I really honestly just

1595
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:58,679
Speaker 1: went to a place of ethic. That was in May June.

1596
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 1: She basically lets me know there's no plan for her

1597
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:04,719
Speaker 1: to be around on my birthday. Now I'm in screw it, molde,

1598
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 1: ef it, molde. I'm hitting up old chicks. I really

1599
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 1: don't care at this point. One of those people was

1600
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 1: a girl named Candids. Now here's the thing. So me

1601
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 1: and Candids have had a sexual relationship without actually having sex. Man,

1602
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 1: you are a liar, and you've always been a liar.

1603
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 1: I've never yeah a sexual relationship without having sex. Does

1604
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:28,040
Speaker 1: anybody understand that? Can you interpret that? No? I've never

1605
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 1: heard someone say I gave my life to Christ and

1606
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:33,680
Speaker 1: my life fell apart. That's that's new one. But I mean,

1607
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 1: you can have you can have emotional you can you

1608
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 1: can cheat emotionally, right, right, you don't have to necessarily

1609
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:40,680
Speaker 1: have sex with you. Sometimes you just gotta say, I'm

1610
01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:43,519
Speaker 1: I was wrong. I messed up. Yeah, I was confused

1611
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:45,800
Speaker 1: with the brother first of all. I was confused with

1612
01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 1: what makes him a specialist? Right, He's been married four

1613
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:51,880
Speaker 1: years and he portrays his perfect in perfection. And anybody

1614
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:53,800
Speaker 1: who's been married or been in a relationship, you know

1615
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 1: that there is nothing perfect about a relationship, about a marriage,

1616
01:24:57,320 --> 01:25:00,160
Speaker 1: There's nothing perfect. There is Like even with my Poe cast,

1617
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 1: with me and my wife, we talk about everything, the good,

1618
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:05,000
Speaker 1: the bad, the ugly. I talked about my infidelity. I

1619
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 1: talked about everything because that's what makes the relationship strong,

1620
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 1: and that's what helps people out but portraying that something

1621
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 1: is perfect. People look for this perfection and there is

1622
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:15,960
Speaker 1: no perfection. I talk about me being insecure, I talk

1623
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:18,680
Speaker 1: about me being controlling early on in our relationship, but

1624
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:20,960
Speaker 1: all that has helped and built to what we have today,

1625
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:23,599
Speaker 1: and we talk about everything. We still get into arguments,

1626
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:25,680
Speaker 1: we still have problems, but we have great times. But

1627
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,439
Speaker 1: we talk about it and that's what relationships and marriage

1628
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:31,679
Speaker 1: is about, working through it. Well. Derek also had said

1629
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 1: that he didn't sleep with that woman, or anyone for

1630
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 1: that matter. He said that did not happen, He did

1631
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:40,240
Speaker 1: not sleep with her, but then he changed his tune.

1632
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:42,920
Speaker 1: He actually did a video with his wife and she

1633
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:45,720
Speaker 1: was there with him. She was wearing a bonnet. And

1634
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:49,439
Speaker 1: here's what happened. The truth is is that Derek Jackson

1635
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 1: was involved with other women outside the marriage, and I involved.

1636
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:54,280
Speaker 1: I want to be clear. I'm not talking about just

1637
01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 1: casually kicking nick maybe a lunch or something like that.

1638
01:25:57,120 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a serious that has sex and something

1639
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 1: that otherwise may be considered okay by some, but without

1640
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:04,840
Speaker 1: my wife's knowledge of it, and with us having a

1641
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 1: sexual history, all of it falls under the umbrella of

1642
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 1: inappropriate cheating, affair, stepping out. It's important that I first thought,

1643
01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:14,599
Speaker 1: let you guys know I do not stand by those actions.

1644
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:16,800
Speaker 1: And then secondly, I know that I cannot build a

1645
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 1: platform preaching certain things, preaching against certain things. And then

1646
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:24,120
Speaker 1: in my real life lived contrary to that, I know

1647
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 1: one thing. You have to let your wife get to

1648
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 1: the part of the busteed challenge when Erica Banks song

1649
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 1: plays before you put her online and embarrass her because

1650
01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:32,760
Speaker 1: she looked like the Nelly Park was still playing. Yeah,

1651
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:35,400
Speaker 1: she didn't look like drop down and come up fresh.

1652
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: Dad never asked, She didn't look like she want to

1653
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:40,160
Speaker 1: be there. And I would hope that they would figure

1654
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 1: out their problems first before they go to the world,

1655
01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 1: Like figure out home first, don't don't. Don't just have

1656
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 1: your wife up there and you're talking and she looks

1657
01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 1: like she doesn't want to be there. Fix the problem first,

1658
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:53,719
Speaker 1: y'all get your therapy on, y'all get what y'all gotta

1659
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 1: get on, and then you could addressed the public. This

1660
01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 1: ain't about the public, This ain't about the world. This

1661
01:26:57,160 --> 01:26:59,560
Speaker 1: is if you really care, like you say, this is

1662
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 1: about you and your wife, man and fixing the only

1663
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:05,840
Speaker 1: thing I would tell everybody out there, I would rather

1664
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 1: be known in life as an honest center than a

1665
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:13,400
Speaker 1: lying hypocrite. Okay, and also remember that God will never

1666
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:15,679
Speaker 1: bless who you pretend to be. He will only bless

1667
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:18,559
Speaker 1: who you are. Also, in the words of MC breed,

1668
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:21,160
Speaker 1: ain't no future in fronting. Okay, all of y'all that

Speaker 1: be fronting and performing on social media because you get

1670
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 1: rewarded for it. Just know one thing about performing, The

1671
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:29,639
Speaker 1: curtain will eventually fall. So many people wake up every

1672
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:32,599
Speaker 1: day pretending trying to be what people want want want

1673
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 1: them to be instead of being their self, and that

1674
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:38,120
Speaker 1: performing is rewarded nowadays, but eventually that curtain falls and

1675
01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 1: the show is over. And finally, black men don't cheat. Okay,

1676

1718

Speaker 1: to be a good role model to her, and you know,

1719
01:30:18,560 --> 01:30:20,840
Speaker 1: this year was all about fighting, you know, fighting for

1720
01:30:21,040 --> 01:30:23,400
Speaker 1: so much and I want to eventually, you know, tell

1721
01:30:23,479 --> 01:30:25,559
Speaker 1: her that story of that. But she'll be able to see,

1722
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:28,160
Speaker 1: you know that I did try to overcome some adversity.

1723
01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:30,639
Speaker 1: So how did you know even that ten months after

1724
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:33,680
Speaker 1: an emergency C section that you were even ready to

1725
01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:35,720
Speaker 1: get back on the truck. Seems your body would still

1726
01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:39,080
Speaker 1: be out of whack. It still is. I'm still getting there,

1727
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, ways ago, but you know, just really talking

1728
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:44,120
Speaker 1: to my doctors about, you know, this new body that

1729
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:47,200
Speaker 1: I have, and when I was clear to get back

1730
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 1: out there, and I started slowly, It was a gradual process.

1731
01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 1: I started walking and eventually made my way back. Did

1732
01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:55,160
Speaker 1: it feel really different it? Did? You know? I was?

1733
01:30:55,280 --> 01:30:57,880
Speaker 1: It's very humbling. You know, things that once came really

1734
01:30:57,920 --> 01:31:00,760
Speaker 1: easy to me were now very difficult. Well, was gonna say.

1735
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:02,320
Speaker 1: It's stressing to point out that most of the other

1736
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:05,400
Speaker 1: countries that you're competing against on the track there, those

1737
01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:09,519
Speaker 1: runners come from countries where parents get protections in pregnancy

1738
01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:12,839
Speaker 1: and also in maternity leave. You've taken a fight public

1739
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:16,600
Speaker 1: to make sure athletes get protections under these contracts. What

1740
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:18,760
Speaker 1: does the country need to do and what more needs

1741
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:20,960
Speaker 1: to be done at a corporate level? Does he changes

1742
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:23,000
Speaker 1: happen a lot? I mean, this is an issue that

1743
01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:27,160
Speaker 1: everyone is affected by, and I tackled it in my industry.

1744
01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:29,240
Speaker 1: But I think that's just really the starting point, you know.

1745
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:31,920
Speaker 1: That's why I want to leave behind is changes for

1746
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:38,840
Speaker 1: the next generation and for my daughter. And that was

1747
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:42,679
Speaker 1: another phenomenal woman in his Yes, congratulations to Alison Felix,
