That's all that 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.840 I've been dealing with. It's a it's a little overwhelming. 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.959 It's get sure you have the right permits, and then 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.320 the neighbors are calling the Department of Buildings, all kinds 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.360 of stuff.

You know, you got 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:29.360 a new crib not yet, I mean, yeah, I do. 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.280 It's just stressful. It's just stressful or as you would say, 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:37.320 stressful stressful with a k Okay. Good morning everybody. Um, 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.039 we're here to present another great edition of The Breakfast 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.560 Club too you hopefully we have a one of my 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.720 favorite authors on this morning. Um. I've read everything that 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.360 he's put out, you know, the Artist Eduction, the thirty 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:53.680 three Strategies Award, the Law of Human Nature, and Mastery, 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.880 the fiftieth for Law, and of course the forty eight 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.400 Laws of Power, just to name a few. Mister Robert 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:03.920 Greene will be joining us this morning. Yes, indeed, I 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:07.720 don't even know read almost all of those. But Mastery. 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.200 I actually really enjoy Mastery, and I quote that book 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.520 all the time, just because I feel like sometimes people 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.400 think success can come over night, but they don't understand 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.880 if you want to be amazing at something, you do 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.760 have to master it. Yeah. I've always wondered if Outliers 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:26.520 influenced The Mastery. Michael Gladwell's outlines influenced the mastery because 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.000 it's the whole, you know, the outlines of the ten 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.600 thousand and hour theory. Mastery is more like, you know, 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.120 twenty thousand, just an unlimited amount of hours. Just put 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.560 the work into the craft. Man. Somebody just walked in 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.160 looking like they used to date John Travolta in Greece. 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.320 You like a little pink pool. Can you see what 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.360 this guy is wearing? You ever see one of the 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.720 pink ladies? Yeah, I'm forty two years old.

I don't know if you know that. 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.320 And then he refuses to give them back. And then 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.160 there's days I come in and I don't have headphones 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.440 and he's sitting there nice and snug with my headphones 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.120 on hers.

What really made you a pink lady? 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:32.880 Damn goodness crazy? All right, well, let's get into froot 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:37.160 page news. Where are we starting you, Well, we have 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.240 some really sad news to start with. Ten people were 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.520 killed after a gunman opened fire and a grocery store 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:47.000 in Boulder, Colorado. This was at a King Supers that's 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:51.080 owned by Kroger's Supermarket, and a suspect is in custody, 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.279 according to Boulder Police Chief Maris Harold. Authorities did not 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.080 share any information on his identity or the type of weapon, 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.640 but they did say one authority told CNN that it 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.680 was aar fifteen. They said they are working around the 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:07.000 clock to get all this accomplished. And one police officer 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.520 was slain, fifty one year old Eric Talley. He was 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.839 one of the first officers to respond to the scene. 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.680 He had joined the Boulder Police Force back in two ten. 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.240 They did not disclose the identity of any of the 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:21.040 other victims. Now. One person did speak to Aaron Burnett 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.480 on CNN, Ryan Borowski. He said he was shopping at 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.240 the store when he heard the first shots. Listen to 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.320 Ryan's account, when we ran out the back door We 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.640 were all single file, and I had my hand on 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.800 one person's back and another person had their hand on 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.359 my back. We weren't tripping on each other, and nobody 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.040 fell down. When we got to the back of the house. 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.760 There were some people who started to run into like 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.359 a pantry or some sort of storage area and a 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:50.919 dead end, and employees made sure to show them the 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.440 way out. I just threw my groceries on a shelf 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.760 and took off from my life. Do we ever get 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:01.159 a break in America? They always something like Jesus, Like 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.960 last year during the pandemic, you know, I didn't hear 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.360 about a lot of mass shootings, you know what I mean? 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.160 So I guess now did everybody you know back outside? 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.200 A lot of people people back actively doing this type 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.080 of stuff, Like come on, and this is the seventh 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.119 mass shooting in the United States in the past seven days. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.600 And here's what else Ryan Borowski had to say about 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.600 not feeling safe. It doesn't feel like there's anywhere safe 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:28.080 anymore sometimes, And this feels like the safest spot in America. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:33.000 And I just nearly got killed forgetting a soda, you know, 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:38.680 and a bag of chips. Wow, do we have a motive. No, 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.200 no motive yet. Did they get the guy? They caught 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.960 the guy? Yeah, yes, they have him in custody, always 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:45.760 in custody. They didn't kill him. It must be white 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:49.119 white man, yes, of course, look like a white man. Okay, 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.680 all right, well that is your front page news.

Man, congratulations, can't round of 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.680 applause to you. I'm happy for you, man, I'm for you. 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.360 You need to buy her something today.

Swarm bro, I'm about to go 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:57.600 get it on somebody right now. That's don't feel bad 0:08:57.640 --> 0:08:59.920 about that, brother, that gooch. That gooch. That gooch is 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.360 good feeling. But yeah, you need to buy something. Brother, 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.400 We're not joking. Buy something. Tell you love them? All right? God? Hello, 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:13.120 who's this from Detroit? Man? I need to vent real quick. 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.280 I'm extremely blessed, got a good job, good wife, and 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.840 good family, all that good stuff. But it was just 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.360 brought to my attention. The post Office has just approved 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.600 fifteen weeks of one hundred percent pay for people to 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.720 take off. But they will not reward the people who 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:30.880 come to work. I haven't taken off the day since 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.360 all this kicked off. Not wow, damn. But they will 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:38.240 not reward the people who come to work every day 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.720 like we supposed to. But they want to keep giving 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:44.079 people excuses and reason to take off. Now. Granted, some 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.480 people need it, but everybody don't. Yeah. I heard a 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:49.600 lot of businesses are if you have to go take 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.280 a COVID test, they're giving you like a half a 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.040 day to go get tested. I heard a lot of 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.920 people are really taking advantage of that. Not our job. 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:58.840 They did bring the test to you. They they ain't 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:02.120 give you nothing off. And another thing. Man. So when 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.600 it was the election time, we had everybody talking about 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:09.880 the post office, Rashida to Lead, Gary Peters, Brenda Lords. 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:11.880 We don't hear nothing no more. Now that they got 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.240 their little seats and they re elected, we don't hear 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.920 nothing no more about the post office. Man. Right, we're ridiculous. 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.120 You're right about that. I will say this though, I 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.960 feel like you should take some time off and over 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:28.640 time is ridiculous. Pay okay, but don't worry about anybody. 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.200 Keep getting that, man. But you still gotta have self care, 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.480 oh brother. Self care is very important for your mental 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.240 and emotional health. Man. You're absolutely right, no question about it. 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.920 But I sleep good knowing that I'm putting dollars in 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.600 the bank. But still we should be rewarded for coming 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:47.800 to work. Man. This is the breakfast club. This is 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:49.520 your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:53.679 man than from you on the breakfast club, but you 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:59.240 got something on your mind? Hello? Who's this? Yes?

When y'all playing the video 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.120 and him singing and be asked him a clear question 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.120 and say that's the video you saying, trams and it 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:19.360 because saying no lying, yeah, like don't be lying like 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.360 something like he wan't nothing heard about it? That's the 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.480 video you say, oh yeah, he attracted to you, tray, 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.480 because there's no reason to lie about that if he 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.360 not attracted you.

Hello? 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.640 Who's this yo? This is tid. I'm calling you from Cleveland. 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:58.920 Try what I'm getting off your chest? Are you feeling 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:04.000 Charlotte Magne in pretty thing or your thing? Hey? Listening 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.800 little mama. Little Mama is making the case that I 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.360 think should be talked about in the public sector about 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:14.360 heterosexual rights movement. Although I don't support her fully in part, 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.200 she does talk about some things that I think people 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:22.000 should be looking as seriously, such as the actual value 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:26.960 of evidence and proof, and you know that. Whereas I 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.200 don't think it's technically wrong or morally wrong for somebody 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.560 to mask their gender, I do think and I know 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.840 that it is completely wrong to be forced to accept 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:41.040 somebody's haven't changed their gender when humans cellular biology says 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.160 that you have not and cannot accomplish that. I'm not 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.320 a Christian. I know the pursuit of Christianity very well. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.000 I don't think somebody should be pressured into trying to 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.360 marry two men or two women if you're a Christian 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:57.160 minister and have to face a whole bunch of controversy 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.000 because it's so far left of what you're doctrine teachers, 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.800 and in the taxpayer funding neighbor public schools where they 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:10.160 teaching history, writing, mathematics, arithmetic, please teach civics and biology 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.120 and chemistry. They don't necessarily need to have to be 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:17.760 teaching m about homosexual relationships any more than you need 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.160 to be teaching about head king, King, King King. I'm 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.040 gonna tell you something. I have no idea what you're 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:26.720 talking about. Oh, Mama, are you aware heterosexual rights movement? 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:31.040 Heterosexual rights movement. Yeah, spend some time with it. Maybe 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.480 could be a topic for your show later next week 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.960 or something. Maybe you could get wrong and me you 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:40.040 kind of be able to follow better what I'm saying. Yeah, 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:41.800 I think she was saying. I think she was saying something. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:43.400 Part of it was she didn't she didn't want to 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:47.600 see uh, any type of relationship or television, not heterosexual 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:51.240 relationships all the time. Yeah, I think she was just 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.800 saying any of it. Yeah, she says she didn't want 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:55.480 to see any of it because it doesn't allow kids 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.240 to make up their own mind, because they can be 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:01.320 you know, uh, impressionable. I said, I'm not with her 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.480 in total, but she is onto something to such a 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.760 degree that they're actually, why are we talking about this 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.640 so long? Because it becomes the part of the social 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.880 conversation with you actually talk about on your broadcast. But 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:14.400 I gotta know what I'm talking about. I don't have 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.160 no idea what you're talking about. We'll pick it up, 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.280 pick it up. Since the time with it, wrestle with it. 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.880 You work for drama show because dramas hangs up on 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.560 anybody else him and envy. But today, for whatever reason, 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:28.240 they just He's like, what do we talk all of that? 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.240 We act like we got so much time here on 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.160 this show, like that's what we jove to talk about 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:38.880 for two to three minutes. The Breakfast Club Morning, everybody 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.960 is DJ M V Angela Ye, Charlomagne, the guy. We 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:43.800 are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors to 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:53.600 talk NBA Young Boy, It's about time report with Angela 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:58.680 Yee on the Breakfast Club. NBA Young Boy is an 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.400 FBI custody lap. The cops did pull him over and 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:04.040 they tracked him down when he tried to flee the scene. 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:07.680 According to TMZ, they said that he has an outstanding 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.080 federal warrant and that set off a pursuit, and once 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.920 the car stopped, they said NBA Young Boy then ran 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.520 on foot, and the cops set up a perimeter. They 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.480 bought in a canine to helped find him, and the 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.960 police dog did not bite him, but they did sniff 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.800 him out and find him. All right. For one am 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.360 shocked by these developments. There's nothing about NBA Young Boy 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:28.280 that makes me believe he would be a prime candidate 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.800 for jail. Why would the police ever be looking for him? 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:32.760 He seemed so pleasant? Yeah, but what did he do 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.000 with where he had a warrant? Do we know what 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:40.240 the warrant was? The outstanding federal warrant? Listen, I don't know, 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.159 but all I know is they found a firearm in 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.439 the vehicle. They said, they're unclear if that belongs to 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:47.480 him as of now. I know before he had gotten 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:50.119 stopped and they found some guns, but he said none 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.040 of them were his. So I want to know where 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.480 he was running. You are NBA young Boy, You do 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.280 know that, right? I think that's the first reaction is 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:58.680 just a run, you know. I mean, I'm surboused to 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.639 dog didn't bite him. My first reaction wouldn't be the 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:07.280 one if I was a rapper making millions of dollars. Okay, No, 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.800 if he had a warrant, you might. I don't know 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:12.879 if he know, if he had award or that. I 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:14.520 think I thought he was running because there was guns 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:16.119 in the car. But my point with that is somebody 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.120 else you're to be claiming those guns because I am 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:22.360 NBA young boy. Yeah, I mean sometimes you just want 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:23.919 to I don't know. I guess probably for a lot 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.320 of people, your first reaction is to get out of there. No, no, 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:33.240 m Yeah. The federal investigation is after he got arrested 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.280 for drug and firearm charges after police responded to reports 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.320 of a large group of people brandishing weapons while filming 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.040 a music video. I am shocked, and he said none 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.440 of them belonged to him. All right. Now, Twitter CEO 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.520 Jack Dorsey has sold the NFT of his first tweet 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.480 for two point nine million dollars. Remember we were talking 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:54.440 about these NFTs and he announced the digital auction for 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:56.760 the post. It was the first ever tweet that was 0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:00.719 sent out fifteen years ago. And yes, two point nine 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:02.720 million dollars is how much that went for. Yeah, I 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.240 totally understand the NFTs now, Jim Jones put us on. 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.000 He was on the Breakfast Club last week, and you know, 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:08.920 I've had other people on my team talk to me 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:10.800 about it, so I totally understand what it is. I 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.239 just don't understand why people would pay that much, right, 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.639 that much money, that kind of stuff. But he shut up. 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.440 Let me shut up, right, because I actually a digital 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:21.880 footprint out there. I'm gonna find me something to sell. 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:24.080 I learned it about a while ago because one of 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.080 my friends who's an artist, was selling some of his 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.200 artwork and he was explaining to me how it worked, 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:29.919 and he was like, listen, you could be doing this. 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:32.399 You could be doing pieces of interviews and selling those 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:35.879 music videos whatever. People can do that all right, And 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:39.080 assigned jay Z trading cards so for a record breaking price, 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.240 and that was one hundred and five thousand, seven hundred 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.119 and eighty dollars. It's a one of one card. Or 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:46.720 Initially it was lingering around two thousand dollars on the 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:50.199 online auction site. Then one buyer started heating it up 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.520 and it ended up going for one hundred and five 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:55.840 thousand dollars. They said, that's an all time record for 0:19:56.119 --> 0:20:00.600 any non sports TCG card. Question, that's BEAUTIFU by the way, 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:04.080 But does Jack's tweet appreciate with value? Will it be 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:06.439 worth more in the future. We don't know what's going 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:08.440 to happen with these NFTs, But what I do know 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.119 is that with NFTs, if somebody else who ever bought it, 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.479 sells it, the original person still gets a piece of that. 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:15.960 So as much as people trade it and sell it, 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.800 it's still the original owner will still get a percentage. 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:21.040 So the more people that sell it and traded and 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:22.760 all of that, you get a little more money because 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.000 as an owner, because I can understand why that tweet 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.399 would have value. Is that the first tweet ever? Because 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:29.679 that is, Yeah, but it's a first tweet ever, right, 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.560 a copy of the tweet? Right, Yeah, it's a digital 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:36.200 it's a digital. Yeah, it's digital. It's all digital. All 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:39.720 these things NFTs are digital copies. Nick said, it's not, 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:41.920 but it's the first tweet ever, right, like ever because 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:45.919 Jack runs Twitter, so yeah, boy, he said, anybody can 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:48.520 see it. Anybody can copy it, So yeah, anybody can 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:52.240 see it. But it's many, but it gives you a 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.240 digital certificate of authenticity, so it confirms that it's real. 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.000 It's one of a kind.

Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. 0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:36.879 We are to Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news. 0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:41.720 Where we starting you? Well, let's first go to Miami beat. Now, 0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:45.119 two men who are spring Breakers from Greensboro, North Carolina 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:47.719 that we're visiting South Beach have been arrested. They've been 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:50.080 accused of drugging and raping a woman who later on 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:53.720 died in her hotel room. The men Evar Collier, who's 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.480 twenty one, and Dorian Taylor, twenty four, are also accused 0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:59.200 of stealing her credit cards to spend money on their 0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:02.119 trip in South Beach. So the arrest comes, as you know, 0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:04.159 it's been a bit of a mess out there in 0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:07.440 Miami Beach. And they said they could be charged with 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:10.840 burglary with battery, sexual battery, petty theft, and the fraudulent 0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:13.159 use of a credit card. If the drug that they 0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:14.840 gave her has proven to have played a role in 0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:17.560 her death, they could also potentially face a manslaughter or 0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:20.560 murder charge. The woman was a twenty four year old 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:23.439 visiting from Pennsylvania. She was staying at the Albion Hotel. 0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:26.880 Now what happened was this, They met her at a restaurant, 0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:30.520 according to what the mental detectives, and they said that 0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:34.040 they gave her a green pill. They believed it was percocet, 0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:36.920 and now they've sent that to the lab. They don't 0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:39.240 know if it was fetanol or some other narcotic. And 0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:41.600 they say they planned to have sex with the victim 0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:43.800 and walking into the hotel, they said the woman was 0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:46.600 staggering that they had to hold her up as they 0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:49.119 walked into the elevator, holding her from behind, holding her 0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:51.800 by the neck so that she could stand. Once at 0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:53.639 the hotel, they each had sex with her, and at 0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:56.879 one point they said you could he forced himself on 0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:59.760 her as she appeared to be unconscious, and then when 0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:01.959 it came clear that she was unconscious, they stole her 0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:04.040 cash or credit cards and her phone and left her 0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:06.760 in the room without any concern for her welfare or safety. 0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:09.520 They then used the stolen credit card at various locations 0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:12.800 in Miami Beach, and they were caught on video surveillance 0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:15.760 actually using her credit card. Yeah, they're gonna wake up 0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:18.160 in a prison ten years from now kicking themselves thinking 0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:20.800 about that stupid ass choice they made to go down 0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:25.320 the South Beach and do that to a young lady. 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:30.720 But yeah, they deserve life, they absolutely for a long time. 0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:34.440 You drug that woman, you rape that funny for a 0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:37.600 year old woman, Just leave her there to die by 0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:39.920 her and still her credit cards and her South Build 0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:45.639 credit cards and cash and use them. Discussing disregard for 0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:48.840 a woman's life, all right now, Ten people, there's no 0:24:48.920 --> 0:24:51.240 good news this morning. Ten people, including a police officer, 0:24:51.359 --> 0:24:53.880 were killed Monday. A gunman opened fire and a grocery 0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:56.560 store in Boulder, Colorado, and that was at a King's 0:24:56.560 --> 0:25:00.639 super store. The suspect is in custody of to Boulder 0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:03.560 Police Chief Maris Harold. They but he said his name. 0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:06.520 They haven't released his identity or the type of weapon. 0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:09.040 But what we are hearing is that it wasn't aar fifteen. 0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:11.719 Now they said the slain officer is fifty one year 0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:13.600 old Eric Talley. They haven't released the names of the 0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:15.960 other victims as they're contacting the families, but they said 0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:18.800 Eric Talley was one of the first officers to respond 0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:21.359 to the scene and he had joined the Boulder Police 0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:27.200 Force back in two ten. So really a sad situation 0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:29.679 and our condolences to all of the families who are 0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:32.760 affected by this. We play we play some bets on 0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:36.240 the game of guests. What race It is the fact 0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:38.760 that they haven't released his name, but ten people shot 0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:41.680 at ten people day, which one was the ten people killed? 0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:44.480 Ten people killed, but they haven't released his name. I'm 0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:48.760 saying white male for five hundred dollars now. Ryan Borowski 0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:51.600 was shopping at the store and he first heard the 0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:54.560 shots and he said, by the third shot, everybody was running. 0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:57.399 Here's what he told Aaron Burnett on CNN When we 0:25:57.520 --> 0:26:00.240 ran out the back door, we were all single file, 0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:04.000 and I had my hand on one person's back and 0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:06.720 another person had their hand on my back. We weren't 0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:09.639 tripping on each other, and nobody fell down. When we 0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:11.320 got to the back of the house, there were some 0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:14.639 people who started to run into like a pantry or 0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:17.200 some sort of storage area and a dead end, and 0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:21.480 employees made sure to show them the way out. I 0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:24.679 just threw my groceries on a shelf and took off 0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:27.320 from my life. I know one thing. If that was 0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:31.119 a black man, Latino Muslim who was in custody and 0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:34.560 who was the suspect. We didn't know his name, his background, 0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:37.280 what he'd got in trouble for in eighth grade. By now, 0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:42.000 they haven't re released his dude's name. And I told 0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:44.200 you guys, this is the seventh mass shooting in the 0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:50.399 US in the past seven days. So where was the 0:26:50.480 --> 0:26:56.800 other six? Um? Of course, you know Atlanta stocked in California. 0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:59.240 This was on March seventeenth. Five people who were preparing 0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:03.320 a vigil there were shot in a drive by shooting Gresham, Oregon. 0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:06.119 Four victims taken to the hospital after a shooting in 0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:09.600 the city East of Portland. Houston March twentieth five people 0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:12.200 shot after a disturbance inside of a club. One is 0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:14.280 in critical condition after being shot in the neck. The 0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:17.520 rest are in stable condition. Dallas, March twentieth eight people 0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:20.600 shot by an unknown assailant, one of whom died. Philadelphia, 0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:23.159 March twentieth one person killed in another five injure during 0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:25.359 a shooting at an illegal party that they were at 0:27:25.400 --> 0:27:29.240 least one hundred and fifty people at. And this in Boulder, Colorado. 0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:31.840 American never get some break, we gotta go back and quarantine. 0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:35.359 I missed. I'm still I'm sorry. I'm still stuck on 0:27:35.600 --> 0:27:38.000 the girl from Pennsylvania that went out to spring Break 0:27:38.040 --> 0:27:41.000 and two brothers daughter was a great idea to hey, 0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:44.480 let's drugger and raper and steal her ish. Like, you know, 0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:47.119 that's a tough one because you know we both have daughters, 0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:49.160 you know, And it's gonna get to a point where 0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:50.720 I want to say, hey, Dad, I want to go somewhere. 0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:51.960 I want to go out, And it's like I don't 0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:53.600 even want my daughter to go to the mall. I 0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:55.440 don't even want to go to the Jersey Shore. Yeah, 0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:56.840 but guess what you can go to that mall and 0:27:56.880 --> 0:27:59.880 didn't get shot by a mass shooter. But the suit 0:28:00.000 --> 0:28:03.320 I was at a suit and this was at a superman. Oh, 0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:06.640 this is bad, man. Pick your trauma, all right, man, 0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:10.520 you're chicking out the world's most dangerous morning show. If 0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:12.119 you have, it's the world most dangerous morning show. To 0:28:12.119 --> 0:28:15.080 Breakfast Club Charlomagne the god angela ye Envy had to 0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:18.520 step out. But man, we have one of my favorite 0:28:18.600 --> 0:28:22.639 authors on I've read I think pretty much everything he's written, 0:28:22.760 --> 0:28:25.760 Artist Duction and thirty two Strategies of War, Mastery, the 0:28:25.880 --> 0:28:28.520 Laws of Human Nature, the fiftieth Law, and of course 0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:32.040 the forty eight Laws of Power. Mister Robert Green is here. 0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:34.560 What's up, Robert? Oh that much? Thanks for having me, 0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:37.320 Charlotta Magnan in Good morning to you. Now, how are 0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:39.720 you further foremost? I know you had a stroke a 0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:42.440 few years ago. How are you feeling right now? I'm 0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:45.440 doing okay. I'm lucky to be alive, which is a 0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:49.160 good thing, and you know, I'm still in therapy. I 0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:52.400 can't really walk the way I used to walk, so 0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:56.320 it's a bit frustrating, but I'm dealing with it and 0:28:56.440 --> 0:28:58.239 I'm just happy to be alive, you know what I mean. 0:28:58.320 --> 0:29:01.480 I'm also very happy that I can write another book, 0:29:01.560 --> 0:29:03.320 that I can be on your show, that I still 0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:07.160 have my most of my brain functioning, So I'm okay. 0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:10.120 I always talk to people about your book Mastery because 0:29:10.160 --> 0:29:12.280 I think it's so important. I actually have a show 0:29:12.360 --> 0:29:14.920 I did with Facebook and it's called Mastery of Comedy 0:29:15.400 --> 0:29:20.080 and it's experienced comics that are helping out the up 0:29:20.120 --> 0:29:22.600 and coming ones. But that is basically based off of 0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:25.720 some of the ideas from your book Mastery. Oh I 0:29:25.760 --> 0:29:27.680 didn't know that. Well, that's great. You should have had 0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:31.600 me on your show. Well, it's just a little Facebook show. 0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:33.880 I always look at you, Rabbit Green, as somebody that's like, 0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:38.160 you know for that. Yeah, I'm not too big for that. 0:29:38.960 --> 0:29:43.240 The Outliers inspired Mastery because Outliers was ten thousand hours 0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:47.120 you just expounded on the left of ours. Well, I 0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:50.600 can honestly say I haven't read Outliers, so it didn't 0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:53.800 come from Outliers. I was aware of what he said. 0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:57.600 There's actually some differences between what he wrote in that book. 0:29:58.040 --> 0:30:01.280 I respect Malcolm Gladwell a law, but when I write 0:30:01.320 --> 0:30:03.920 a book, I try not to read things that are 0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:06.640 too close to it that have come out recently, because 0:30:06.680 --> 0:30:09.320 I want my ideas to be my own a bit. 0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:12.920 I'm a bit independent that way, so I deliberately avoided 0:30:12.960 --> 0:30:16.360 reading it, but I respect him. The ten thousand hour rule, 0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:19.280 which some people now are doubting, actually doesn't come from 0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:22.200 Malcolm Gladwell. It comes from a very famous study in 0:30:22.240 --> 0:30:25.760 the nineteen nineties. But Mastery was just sort of coming 0:30:25.800 --> 0:30:28.080 out of my own brain at a particular moment in 0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:31.960 my life. What would you think the difference between, you know, 0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:37.080 the ten thousand hour theory and what you put in Mastery, Well, 0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:40.760 I very much believe in the ten thousand hour theory. 0:30:42.120 --> 0:30:44.800 I was trying to show what would happen to the 0:30:44.920 --> 0:30:49.880 human brain at twenty thousand hours, for instance. So Mastery 0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:53.200 the endpoint is what I call a mix of the 0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:56.600 intuitive and the rational. You reach such a point where 0:30:56.640 --> 0:31:00.320 you probably are almost there Charlamagne, with how many podcasts done, 0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:02.560 where we have a feel for what you're doing a 0:31:02.680 --> 0:31:05.520 fingertip field, it's almost inside of it. You don't have 0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:08.880 to think anymore. So at ten thousand hours you become 0:31:08.920 --> 0:31:12.920 pretty brilliant creative in chess, in music or whatever, venture 0:31:13.280 --> 0:31:16.520 or in sports. I wanted to go to the next level. 0:31:16.880 --> 0:31:21.719 What happens if you spend ten, fifteen, twenty years delving 0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:24.440 into something and repeating and doing it over and over 0:31:24.520 --> 0:31:27.880 again with still a lot of enthusiasm and excitement, you 0:31:28.000 --> 0:31:31.760 reach a level that's to me almost superhuman, like an Einstein, 0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:35.080 like a da Vinci. So that's that's the only difference. 0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:39.480 And it's not just a matter of accumulating ten thousand hours. 0:31:39.520 --> 0:31:43.360 That's the misconception people have because you can spend fifty years, 0:31:44.000 --> 0:31:47.840 you know, in your garage painting and you'll eventually accumulate 0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:51.280 twenty thousand hours, but you won't be a master. You 0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:53.360 have to be. It has to be intensity, It has 0:31:53.400 --> 0:31:56.040 to be the kind of practice that you have, you know, 0:31:56.160 --> 0:31:59.280 it has to be within a certain time frame. So 0:32:00.000 --> 0:32:03.360 that's the only difference. And what I like about other 0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:05.600 things that I always use is when we talk about 0:32:06.160 --> 0:32:08.360 having your back against the war right to get out 0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:10.680 of a difficult situation, and we always need to operate 0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:13.480 with that same type of intensity. And that's something that 0:32:13.520 --> 0:32:16.520 I tried to practice too, where when you're comfortable, sometimes 0:32:16.560 --> 0:32:19.120 you don't go so hard, but then it takes for 0:32:19.240 --> 0:32:22.080 you be in a really difficult situation for you to say, Okay, 0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:24.760 I'm at my wits end. It's either do or die 0:32:24.880 --> 0:32:27.480 right now, and that's when you really spring into action. Yeah, 0:32:27.520 --> 0:32:30.200 that's called the death ground strategy. I did that in 0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:34.040 my thirty three Strategies of War book. I remember I 0:32:34.200 --> 0:32:36.920 was doing a book with fifty cent called The fiftieth Law, 0:32:38.000 --> 0:32:41.680 and I know I was a bit intimidated working with him, 0:32:41.720 --> 0:32:43.560 and it was the first time I'd ever worked with 0:32:43.880 --> 0:32:47.480 the so called celebrity. And the first version of the 0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:51.400 book was actually not very good. I have to be honest, 0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:55.200 and the publisher was going to cancel the project. They 0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:58.800 weren't satisfied with They were being polite, but they weren't 0:32:58.800 --> 0:33:01.760 satisfied with it. And so we brought in somebody else 0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:04.800 as a publisher and he said, okay, Robert, you have 0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:07.239 to redo it, and I cast I decided I'm going 0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:09.760 to redo it. And basically the problem was it wasn't 0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:12.000 enough me in the book. It was too much about 0:33:12.320 --> 0:33:14.120 too much fifteen not enough for me. It needed to 0:33:14.160 --> 0:33:16.440 be a mix. And he said, all right, we'll do 0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:19.080 what you say, but you have eight months to write it. 0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:22.080 Eight months and there's no way I can write this 0:33:22.200 --> 0:33:24.120 in eight months. I've got to rethink the whole thing. 0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:26.960 It's impossible. He said, Well, that's it. It's either that 0:33:27.160 --> 0:33:30.080 or the book is killed. And I never worked harder 0:33:30.120 --> 0:33:32.480 in my life. Ideas. It was like what you say, 0:33:32.680 --> 0:33:35.320 do it or you die. It was either finished that 0:33:35.440 --> 0:33:37.720 book or I would have failed in something, and it 0:33:37.720 --> 0:33:40.440 would have been very embarrassing. So when your back is 0:33:40.480 --> 0:33:44.040 against the wall like that, you suddenly find energy and 0:33:44.240 --> 0:33:47.280 ideas and a whole other level that you never suspect 0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:49.880 it was inside of you. It's interesting that you said 0:33:49.880 --> 0:33:52.280 you were intimidated working with fifty on The Fifty of Law, 0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:55.400 because the book is about overcoming fear. Well that's good. Yeah, 0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:58.440 I mean I don't I don't deny that I'm human. 0:33:58.800 --> 0:34:01.480 I have fear. You know when I met fifty he 0:34:01.600 --> 0:34:03.920 was actually said later on, he was a bit intimidated 0:34:04.000 --> 0:34:07.120 by me. You know, the guy who wrote the forty 0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:11.600 eight Laws of Power. We're now good friends, but you know, 0:34:12.360 --> 0:34:15.920 he's he's a lot more famous than I am, and 0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:19.360 I wanted the book to be something he was proud of, 0:34:19.480 --> 0:34:23.440 and that was really good. So having a level of 0:34:23.880 --> 0:34:26.360 a little bit of fear to me that level of 0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:28.919 fear where you think that your project, that your book 0:34:29.000 --> 0:34:31.960 isn't necessarily the greatest, that you have to up your game, 0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:34.120 that you have to make it better and better. That 0:34:34.280 --> 0:34:37.080 kind of level of fear can be productive. But the 0:34:37.200 --> 0:34:39.480 other fears that we talked about in the fiftieth law 0:34:39.640 --> 0:34:45.160 are very debilitating, particularly now in the pandemic. So, you know, 0:34:45.440 --> 0:34:46.839 I want to go back to something you said about 0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:50.640 master because it's almost unfair that we age physically because 0:34:51.360 --> 0:34:53.600 you know, you really don't become a master until later 0:34:53.680 --> 0:34:56.640 in your life, just based off experiment experience. Right. Is 0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:59.080 that why Lebron and Tom Brady are such a nomallies 0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:02.880 because they're able to anteen physically and so mentally they 0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:06.080 just massed at their craft. I think it's a combination 0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:09.319 of both. You know, you look at the two of them, 0:35:09.360 --> 0:35:12.439 and what they have in common is that they're they're 0:35:12.480 --> 0:35:17.200 incredibly incredibly good shape and it's not just working out 0:35:17.280 --> 0:35:21.719 in their physique. They also have an incredibly good diet, right, 0:35:22.160 --> 0:35:24.400 and so they understand that you have to treat the 0:35:24.480 --> 0:35:27.200 whole body. And they're also very much into the mental 0:35:27.320 --> 0:35:30.960 aspect and keeping the mind fresh and not you know, 0:35:31.120 --> 0:35:34.200 you could get kind of boring playing basketball for so 0:35:34.320 --> 0:35:36.239 many years the same game over and over, you can 0:35:36.280 --> 0:35:39.239 get burnout. And to be at his level thirty five, 0:35:39.360 --> 0:35:41.759 thirty six years old and to still feel like a 0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:44.240 kid and be excited, that takes a lot of work. 0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:47.400 So it's a combination of the mental and the physical 0:35:47.480 --> 0:35:51.440 as well. And it would be amazing if people in 0:35:51.600 --> 0:35:56.200 any venture sports or writing books or podcasting, if you 0:35:56.280 --> 0:36:00.720 could go on till you're eighty nine, imagine the wisdom 0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:02.400 that you would have at that point. But that's just 0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:05.400 not how we're built, you know. Yeah, how did the 0:36:05.480 --> 0:36:08.640 script change your perspective on life? Well, it's it's it's 0:36:08.680 --> 0:36:10.640 not been easy. I must I mean, I don't want 0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:13.399 to complain because now people are going through a lot 0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:16.120 of terrible stuff, you know, with the virus and a 0:36:16.160 --> 0:36:19.399 lot of people are dying. But I was someone who 0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:25.360 was very much into you know, exercise to movement. Writing 0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:28.040 can be very stressful, and my way of distressing was 0:36:28.840 --> 0:36:32.200 taking a hike up here in Griffith Park or going swimming, 0:36:32.520 --> 0:36:35.480 or going on my mountain bike, and in doing those things, 0:36:35.560 --> 0:36:37.800 some of my best thoughts would come to me. And 0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:41.560 I can't do any of that right, So I'm sort 0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:44.000 of trapped here in the house, and I have to 0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:47.480 learn I still can do other forms of exercise. I've 0:36:47.520 --> 0:36:50.600 had to change my whole way of thinking. But on 0:36:50.760 --> 0:36:54.200 the other hand, it's merely made me work on myself 0:36:54.600 --> 0:36:57.719 because I have you know, I have flaws as well, 0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:00.520 and some of them are my impatience, the fact that 0:37:00.600 --> 0:37:03.279 I really need want things to happen right now. I've 0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:05.799 had to become much more patient and in a way 0:37:05.800 --> 0:37:10.000 a little more humble, you know, because I can empathize 0:37:10.040 --> 0:37:13.120 a lot with people who don't have so much control 0:37:13.200 --> 0:37:17.320 over their life, whether it's physically or financially or whatever 0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:21.880 it is. Because for a good year, I was completely 0:37:21.960 --> 0:37:25.759 dependent on people helping me just eat and do basic things. 0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:30.200 So it really kind of was a humbling experience and 0:37:30.440 --> 0:37:32.680 I'm still dealing with it. I'm still learning from it, 0:37:32.800 --> 0:37:36.280 but it's I wish to hell it had never happened, 0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:40.120 and I often am just thinking back to just the 0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:43.080 days just before I had my stroke. My life seems 0:37:43.120 --> 0:37:45.560 so beautiful, but I didn't realize how beautiful it was. 0:37:46.000 --> 0:37:49.360 And I tell people a lot, don't take for granted 0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:51.759 the little things you have right now, because something like 0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:54.880 this happens, they could be gone and you don't realize 0:37:54.960 --> 0:37:58.920 until after it's gone. So it's been. It's been the 0:37:59.080 --> 0:38:03.399 worst and the most powerful experience in my life so far. Wow. 0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:05.680 I want to talk to you about the law of 0:38:05.800 --> 0:38:08.680 human nature. You know, it's a great book, and you 0:38:08.719 --> 0:38:11.000 know you you talk about why people do what they 0:38:11.080 --> 0:38:13.919 do and how you can use both your own psychological 0:38:14.320 --> 0:38:16.640 flaws and those of others to your advantage at work 0:38:16.719 --> 0:38:21.960 and relationships in life. How much does technology influence the 0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:24.440 laws of human nature? Because to your point, I think 0:38:24.480 --> 0:38:27.360 people wake up nowadays and they get online social media 0:38:27.680 --> 0:38:29.520 to even know what to think, to even know what 0:38:29.680 --> 0:38:32.400 to feel. I don't even think people's natural thoughts of 0:38:32.480 --> 0:38:34.640 their own. They don't, they don't tap into that. So 0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:37.879 how much does the technology influence the laws of human nature? Well? 0:38:38.360 --> 0:38:41.399 So human nature is something that's that's something we don't 0:38:41.440 --> 0:38:43.879 we're not even aware of. It's so deep, with enough, 0:38:44.320 --> 0:38:48.840 it comes from literally millions of years of evolution, and 0:38:48.960 --> 0:38:53.080 how our brains are wired from circumstances completely different from 0:38:53.120 --> 0:38:57.799 our very sophisticated technological society. How our levels of fear 0:38:57.840 --> 0:39:02.319 and how our emotions are wired, How we're extremely susceptible 0:39:02.719 --> 0:39:05.480 to the feelings and ideas of other people around us, 0:39:05.560 --> 0:39:08.279 in our tribe or whatever, and how we're prone to 0:39:08.400 --> 0:39:12.319 feelings envy, and how the human being can feel aggressive 0:39:12.680 --> 0:39:18.600 and tribal, etc. And so technology hasn't changed that. So 0:39:19.440 --> 0:39:22.080 twenty thirty years of the internet is not going to 0:39:22.239 --> 0:39:26.800 rewire the human brain that evolved over so many millions 0:39:26.840 --> 0:39:29.480 of years. It's ridiculous to think that. In what it 0:39:29.600 --> 0:39:33.959 does is it makes things worse. It intensifies so many 0:39:34.040 --> 0:39:37.399 of the worst aspects of human nature. So I talk 0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:41.000 in the book of the power of envy. Envy is 0:39:41.040 --> 0:39:43.759 one of the oldest and most profound human emotions. We 0:39:43.880 --> 0:39:47.480 all experience it, right, but nobody ever likes to talk 0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:50.680 about it because it's a very ugly emotion. It's basically, 0:39:50.840 --> 0:39:53.560 you wish that you have something that other people have, 0:39:54.280 --> 0:39:57.960 and if it gets ugly enough, you act upon it. Well. 0:39:58.000 --> 0:40:01.040 Social media, in which we are aware on a level 0:40:01.360 --> 0:40:05.359 unimaginable ten twenty years ago, of every little thing going 0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:09.000 on in your life, of all the wonderful relationships you're having, 0:40:09.280 --> 0:40:11.920 of all of the great places you're visiting, all your 0:40:12.000 --> 0:40:17.600 wonderful travel experiences, etc. It's just a machine for generating 0:40:17.800 --> 0:40:21.640 envy among people, and we see that having political consequences 0:40:21.840 --> 0:40:25.400 and profound social consequences. And so the idea that I'm on, 0:40:25.560 --> 0:40:27.560 you know, the fear of missing out, you have to 0:40:27.719 --> 0:40:31.480 feel like you're doing what other people doing, where natural 0:40:31.680 --> 0:40:35.239 conformists is part of human nature, and this only kind 0:40:35.280 --> 0:40:37.520 of makes that worse. And then the fact that we 0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:39.800 have a dark side. I talk in the book that 0:40:39.840 --> 0:40:42.000 we have a shadow. There's a dark side to our character. 0:40:42.160 --> 0:40:45.960 Every single person has that. Well, on the Internet where 0:40:46.000 --> 0:40:50.080 you're basically anonymous, where you don't pay any consequences for 0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:53.360 being mean spirited, for being for bullying, for saying the 0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:56.640 stupidest things. Here you can just try out all of 0:40:56.719 --> 0:40:59.320 the worst parts of your character and pay no consequences. 0:41:00.000 --> 0:41:04.080 So it's just this this cool of all the worst 0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:06.239 parts of human nature that that can that can just 0:41:06.400 --> 0:41:08.759 kind of sit there and fester. I mean, there's a 0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:11.239 good part of social media. I don't deny that, but 0:41:11.440 --> 0:41:14.640 it hasn't changed human nature. It's just showing it a 0:41:14.800 --> 0:41:17.919 very powerful spotlight on it. Man. That's such a good point, 0:41:18.040 --> 0:41:20.800 especially when you think about, you know, the dark side 0:41:20.840 --> 0:41:22.560 and how everybody had the dark side because you know, 0:41:22.640 --> 0:41:26.200 you can look back at old tweets all, you know, 0:41:26.360 --> 0:41:29.120 old video everything, and you you can be looking at 0:41:29.160 --> 0:41:31.880 yourself and be like Jesus Christ, who was that? You 0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:34.440 know what I mean? But you were fueling the machine 0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:36.799 that is social media because that's what with the gas 0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:39.720 that made it go at the time. Yeah, it lives 0:41:39.760 --> 0:41:43.160 off of outrage. It lives off constantly generating people being 0:41:43.320 --> 0:41:47.000 upset and angry about things. And the angry you are, 0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:50.120 and the more you, you know, you kind of spew 0:41:50.640 --> 0:41:53.320 whatever your ideas are, the more people like you, the 0:41:53.400 --> 0:41:56.120 more you seem genuine, the more you seem animated and 0:41:56.320 --> 0:41:59.880 very you know, full of conviction. So it could be 0:42:00.120 --> 0:42:02.960 very dangerous. And we've seen the play out, I believe 0:42:03.840 --> 0:42:07.640 in the Trump era and some of the horrible things 0:42:07.719 --> 0:42:10.279 we went through for four years with his Twitter feed, etc. 0:42:12.000 --> 0:42:13.400 Now I want to talk about there's been a lot 0:42:13.440 --> 0:42:18.520 of conversations lately about ownership and entrepreneurship, and you have 0:42:18.800 --> 0:42:23.279 interesting things to say about self reliance and how partnerships 0:42:23.360 --> 0:42:25.080 and how you kind of have to have ownership and 0:42:25.280 --> 0:42:27.840 things so that you're not relying on other people. Do 0:42:27.960 --> 0:42:31.839 you think that's a trait that anybody can have. Well, 0:42:32.480 --> 0:42:35.400 you know, there's we're all wired differently. Some people are 0:42:35.520 --> 0:42:39.600 not entrepreneurial by nature. They have higher levels of fear, 0:42:39.960 --> 0:42:43.719 for example, And so there are people out there who 0:42:43.760 --> 0:42:47.720 are better off working for a large company. My father, 0:42:47.880 --> 0:42:50.440 God bless him, I loved him dearly. He worked for 0:42:50.520 --> 0:42:53.680 the same company for forty years. You know. He was 0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:57.000 basically a salesman and he had he's kind of working 0:42:57.040 --> 0:42:59.080 on his own, but it was with this one company. 0:42:59.480 --> 0:43:02.680 So some people aren't wired for that. But the world 0:43:02.719 --> 0:43:05.160 that we live in, I think is just this a 0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:08.440 place now that kind of rewards that sort of spirit. 0:43:08.880 --> 0:43:11.920 And we're in a period coming out of the pandemic 0:43:12.320 --> 0:43:14.879 where all the signs seem to indicate that we're heading 0:43:14.920 --> 0:43:18.279 towards some kind of boom, some kind of economic boom. 0:43:18.320 --> 0:43:22.200 There's going to be incredible opportunity out there. People are 0:43:22.400 --> 0:43:26.200 dying for all kinds of new experiences. I know that 0:43:26.360 --> 0:43:28.720 very myself. We've all been cooped up in our houses, 0:43:28.760 --> 0:43:32.120 our apartments, and we're yearning for something new. And so 0:43:32.239 --> 0:43:35.760 there's going to be insane opportunities out there for starting 0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:39.840 your own business on any level. And so you have 0:43:40.000 --> 0:43:42.800 to deal though first with your levels of fear, because 0:43:42.880 --> 0:43:45.840 what happens with people is they say, I have a 0:43:45.920 --> 0:43:49.080 great idea, but I'm not ready yet. I need to 0:43:49.160 --> 0:43:51.960 find the financing, I need to find the help. And 0:43:52.120 --> 0:43:55.480 I always tell people your go before you think you're ready, 0:43:56.120 --> 0:43:58.320 because you're going to learn a lot more when you 0:43:58.400 --> 0:44:01.560 try something, you're gonna find, like we talked about the 0:44:01.680 --> 0:44:04.879 death ground strategy, when it's either get this thing off 0:44:04.920 --> 0:44:07.000 the ground or you're gonna lose a lot of money, 0:44:07.320 --> 0:44:10.080 you'll find a whole other level of energy to you. 0:44:10.800 --> 0:44:13.520 But I think all of us can learn to be 0:44:13.680 --> 0:44:16.160 self reliant. We just have to deal with that first 0:44:16.239 --> 0:44:19.839 initial fear of failure, of being on our own, etc. 0:44:20.200 --> 0:44:22.120 And that's sort of what the fiftieth law was about. 0:44:22.320 --> 0:44:24.000 All right, well, ole move, We got more with Robert 0:44:24.000 --> 0:44:25.839 Green when we come back is the Breakfast Club Good 0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:29.520 Morning's DJ Envy Angela Yee Schal. Imagine the guy we 0:44:29.640 --> 0:44:32.440 ought to Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Robert Green, Chalomagne. 0:44:32.520 --> 0:44:34.719 You know a lot of people nowadays, you know, to 0:44:34.840 --> 0:44:36.719 go back to the forty law of party. They stir 0:44:36.840 --> 0:44:38.640 up water to catch fish, right, but we call them 0:44:38.680 --> 0:44:42.400 trolls now Oh God, is the prize worth it for 0:44:42.480 --> 0:44:45.920 a troll to stir shop just because? Yeah, I mean, 0:44:47.320 --> 0:44:49.400 it's it's that's what I talked about when I was 0:44:49.440 --> 0:44:52.719 mentioned the dark side of human nature, you know, so 0:44:53.480 --> 0:44:56.239 normally the reason what I talked where the dark side 0:44:56.320 --> 0:44:59.520 comes out from is when you were a kid, you 0:44:59.600 --> 0:45:02.759 were kind of this complete person you had. You had 0:45:02.800 --> 0:45:05.640 an aggressive side, you had a kind side. You would 0:45:05.719 --> 0:45:07.879 pull your sister's hair, you would tease her, you would 0:45:07.920 --> 0:45:09.680 do all kinds of mean things were like I did 0:45:09.719 --> 0:45:12.360 to my sister, and then you could be kind and sweet, 0:45:12.719 --> 0:45:15.920 and slowly over the years it's kind of pounded out 0:45:16.000 --> 0:45:17.719 of you. You have to be a good person. You 0:45:17.800 --> 0:45:20.279 have to be nice, you have to be polite, you 0:45:20.400 --> 0:45:22.960 have to hide all of those dark that dark energy 0:45:23.080 --> 0:45:25.239 that you felt when you were a child, and then 0:45:25.280 --> 0:45:28.759 you get older and you want to act out on it. Well, 0:45:28.840 --> 0:45:32.120 some people have that more than others. They never quite 0:45:32.200 --> 0:45:35.480 grew up. They felt like that kind of repressing that 0:45:35.640 --> 0:45:40.720 dark side was they lost something very valuable about themselves. 0:45:40.880 --> 0:45:44.279 They're yearning to let it out, and so trolling is 0:45:44.320 --> 0:45:48.720 the absolute best way at it, you know, and social 0:45:48.800 --> 0:45:51.880 media is like the perfect instrument for being a troll. 0:45:52.400 --> 0:45:55.440 You know, you can say the worst possible things and 0:45:55.560 --> 0:45:59.319 get under people's skin. And all. We're all volatile, we're 0:45:59.360 --> 0:46:02.600 all emotional. I've dealt with it myself. When I had 0:46:02.880 --> 0:46:05.560 laws of human nature out, I would posting things out 0:46:05.640 --> 0:46:09.200 on Facebook, and these really bitgy, mead spirited people would 0:46:09.239 --> 0:46:13.040 come out of the woodwork and would post the stupidest comments. 0:46:13.440 --> 0:46:18.640 I mean, I can withstand people being malicious and all that, 0:46:19.040 --> 0:46:22.080 but I can't stand stupidity where they actually think they're 0:46:22.120 --> 0:46:24.600 smart and they have some kind of counter argument to 0:46:24.719 --> 0:46:27.680 a book I spent five years researching, and they in 0:46:27.760 --> 0:46:31.239 their little apartment on their computer, who's maybe spent two 0:46:31.320 --> 0:46:34.360 hours thinking about it. They know more than me. You know, 0:46:34.480 --> 0:46:37.279 it really gets you angry. But I found you know, 0:46:37.480 --> 0:46:39.440 I'm not going to deal How do you deal with 0:46:39.560 --> 0:46:41.520 the troll The best way to deal with them is 0:46:41.560 --> 0:46:44.080 to ignore them. Don't feed the trolls, as we say, 0:46:44.480 --> 0:46:47.040 you know, and we all dealt with it with Trump, 0:46:47.200 --> 0:46:49.000 to be honest with I don't want to get too political, 0:46:49.080 --> 0:46:51.880 but here, but he was like the troller in chief, 0:46:52.400 --> 0:46:55.440 the president troll of our country, and he knew how 0:46:55.480 --> 0:46:59.040 to get under everybody's skin and rile them up. And 0:46:59.280 --> 0:47:03.360 I've spent four years getting continually riled up by his 0:47:03.560 --> 0:47:06.600 trolling maneuvers, and it's a great relief to not to 0:47:06.680 --> 0:47:08.879 have that anymore. But you have to when you're dealing 0:47:08.920 --> 0:47:12.600 with a troll, you have to control yourself because their 0:47:12.719 --> 0:47:16.799 power lies in getting you angry and upset. And if 0:47:16.840 --> 0:47:19.240 you refuse to get angry and upset, if you refuse 0:47:19.360 --> 0:47:22.239 to take debit and respond to them, then they feel like, 0:47:22.480 --> 0:47:24.520 you know, then they feel challenged, they feel like they 0:47:24.560 --> 0:47:27.160 had they didn't win. So that's the best response to 0:47:27.239 --> 0:47:30.480 a troll, you know. And in light of the me 0:47:30.640 --> 0:47:32.960 too movement? Right, do you regret anything you wrote in 0:47:33.040 --> 0:47:35.920 the Artist Abduction? Because you even refer to targets that 0:47:36.000 --> 0:47:39.640 subduction as prey choose the write victim. Would you change 0:47:39.680 --> 0:47:42.640 any of that now? I think I would. I think 0:47:42.640 --> 0:47:45.600 I would. I wouldn't shoot change the gist of the book, 0:47:46.040 --> 0:47:48.320 but I would. It's interesting because I've been having this 0:47:48.480 --> 0:47:51.600 discussion with a few people who've been interviewing me lately, 0:47:51.680 --> 0:47:55.720 some feminists, etc. And yes, I would change the word victim. 0:47:55.800 --> 0:47:59.400 I think that's inappropriate, and I would maybe change some 0:47:59.520 --> 0:48:02.800 of the press it or pray stuff, and I think that, 0:48:03.040 --> 0:48:06.320 you know, we live in kind of slightly puritanical times, 0:48:07.440 --> 0:48:12.680 I believe, No, yeah, puritanical now. I like that because 0:48:12.680 --> 0:48:15.320 me and my homeboy Van, we always talk about, you know, 0:48:16.400 --> 0:48:19.120 there's there's these purity tests that you just won't be 0:48:19.200 --> 0:48:23.359 able to pass. Ever, but for whatever reason, we live 0:48:23.400 --> 0:48:27.480 in an era where everything has to be pure. That's impossible. Yeah. Well, 0:48:27.760 --> 0:48:31.880 you know, it's like everyone has to you know, virtue signaling. 0:48:31.920 --> 0:48:34.800 They have to show how they're they're the most woke 0:48:34.920 --> 0:48:37.640 person that they have the most virtuous out there. And 0:48:37.800 --> 0:48:40.440 so I don't want to totally get rid of that 0:48:40.680 --> 0:48:42.439 edge to it. You know, I don't want to feel 0:48:42.920 --> 0:48:47.319 live in a world where everybody in culture, rap artists, filmmakers, 0:48:47.560 --> 0:48:49.880 feel like they always have to tow a line. They 0:48:49.960 --> 0:48:53.000 can't say or do something. We can't be honest anymore 0:48:53.040 --> 0:48:56.360 about ourselves, about who we are, about human nature. We 0:48:56.440 --> 0:49:00.760 are not angels, right, We are descended from primates, not angels, 0:49:01.040 --> 0:49:03.040 and we have to come to terms with that. And 0:49:03.239 --> 0:49:06.960 so I'm afraid that we're entering a period where people 0:49:07.000 --> 0:49:10.560 are afraid to say their emotions or to express what's 0:49:10.600 --> 0:49:14.200 really going on inside of their censoring themselves, right, And 0:49:14.400 --> 0:49:16.960 I know you say that that is again fear right, 0:49:17.000 --> 0:49:19.960 because you're not able to just sometimes go right into 0:49:20.000 --> 0:49:21.840 the fire and be who you are because you're always 0:49:21.840 --> 0:49:24.640 concerned about what other people might think about you, what 0:49:24.840 --> 0:49:26.960 might happen to you as a result or something that 0:49:27.080 --> 0:49:30.080 you say. Well, I mean, look at the consequences. Now, 0:49:30.239 --> 0:49:33.600 you say one wrong thing and your band from some 0:49:33.840 --> 0:49:37.560 platform or nobody, your boycotted on some level. So the 0:49:37.719 --> 0:49:40.799 fear there is real. You know, if I suddenly said 0:49:40.880 --> 0:49:43.960 something so controversial on this show, I won't do it 0:49:44.760 --> 0:49:47.000 where people are so up in arms they start saying, 0:49:47.320 --> 0:49:49.839 Robert Green is evil, He's the devil. We can't We're 0:49:49.880 --> 0:49:52.080 going to burn the forty eight laws of power. You know, 0:49:52.160 --> 0:49:57.000 I'd suffer very strong financial consequences. That doesn't happen if 0:49:57.160 --> 0:50:02.080 he said it doesn't I mean he said I feel 0:50:02.160 --> 0:50:05.839 like he says whatever's on his mind and it could 0:50:05.840 --> 0:50:10.880 be controversial and it's still booming. Yeah, I mean, he 0:50:11.080 --> 0:50:13.880 he lives off that. That's how he gets publicity, you know. 0:50:14.480 --> 0:50:18.000 But he doesn't matter, does he ever? Do you ever 0:50:18.080 --> 0:50:19.800 get the impression that he kind of goes over the 0:50:19.920 --> 0:50:24.520 line that he says something that's that's that offensive. Yeah, 0:50:27.040 --> 0:50:28.880 but but I mean I get it though you know 0:50:28.920 --> 0:50:30.640 what I'm saying, I understand it. So it's like when 0:50:31.360 --> 0:50:33.239 I put it like this, when he said certain things, 0:50:33.560 --> 0:50:35.120 it's not that it goes over the line with me, 0:50:35.200 --> 0:50:36.719 but I know that it'll go over the line with 0:50:36.880 --> 0:50:40.400 some people. But you know, he's he's an anomaly. It's like, 0:50:40.600 --> 0:50:42.960 I feel like if somebody else said some of the 0:50:43.040 --> 0:50:46.920 things that he said, it would be way worse than 0:50:47.120 --> 0:50:49.600 anything that would happen to him. For some reason, he's 0:50:49.680 --> 0:50:51.879 mass I don't know if it's because he's been working 0:50:51.880 --> 0:50:56.759 with you, but he's master something strategies where he's able 0:50:56.840 --> 0:51:00.360 to just yeah, it's it's amazing to me. I'm like, 0:51:00.440 --> 0:51:02.000 oh my god, I can't believe if he said that, 0:51:02.120 --> 0:51:05.239 and then it's fine. Well, part of it's his personality. 0:51:05.320 --> 0:51:09.240 He's very charismatic, he's very charming, he's kind of sweet. 0:51:09.360 --> 0:51:12.080 He's got a very good sense of humor. Now I 0:51:12.239 --> 0:51:14.239 only got two more questions. I want to talk to 0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:16.759 you about meditation, because you know that's something a good 0:51:16.800 --> 0:51:18.719 friend of mine named named Debbie Brown is trying to 0:51:18.760 --> 0:51:20.200 get have been trying to get me to add to 0:51:20.280 --> 0:51:23.120 my mind fulness repertoire forever. And I started doing it 0:51:23.160 --> 0:51:26.879 over New Year's Eve. Ye New Year's congratulations. Oh man, 0:51:26.960 --> 0:51:30.319 I love it like it's amazing for me. What does 0:51:30.400 --> 0:51:34.400 your meditation practice look like. Well, I do a form 0:51:34.480 --> 0:51:39.160 of zen meditation, which is a bit difficult. I've been 0:51:39.200 --> 0:51:42.279 doing it for close to eleven years now, and I 0:51:42.440 --> 0:51:45.440 do it forty minutes after as soon as I wake up. 0:51:45.880 --> 0:51:48.400 And I turned it into a little ritual because I 0:51:48.800 --> 0:51:51.279 like rituals as a writer. It's kind of how you live. 0:51:52.000 --> 0:51:54.920 And then for forty minutes, and forty minutes is a 0:51:55.120 --> 0:51:59.359 pretty long time, I try and completely empty my mind, 0:52:00.239 --> 0:52:04.360 no thoughts, nothing going on. I can honestly say that 0:52:04.600 --> 0:52:07.359 meditation is saved my life. I don't think I would 0:52:07.400 --> 0:52:10.440 be here without it. Wow. And in this world today, 0:52:11.080 --> 0:52:13.800 with so many distractions, with so many things in our face, 0:52:14.560 --> 0:52:16.680 you've got people have to meditate it. I mean, if 0:52:16.719 --> 0:52:19.440 you can, it's it's it's it's it's life saving, it's 0:52:19.480 --> 0:52:22.280 it's the most important thing for you. My last question, 0:52:23.160 --> 0:52:25.400 do you think we'll ever have a true understanding of 0:52:25.520 --> 0:52:31.160 power and human nature? Well, it depends. I mean probably not. 0:52:31.560 --> 0:52:36.040 Because I told people the first law of human nature 0:52:36.480 --> 0:52:40.080 is that we deny that we have human nature. We 0:52:40.239 --> 0:52:42.920 don't want to admit it. We don't want to admit 0:52:43.360 --> 0:52:47.080 that we can be irrational or aggressive or grandiose or 0:52:47.200 --> 0:52:49.960 field envy, or that we have a dark side, on 0:52:50.120 --> 0:52:53.320 and on and on. It's always the other person. Power 0:52:53.440 --> 0:52:56.319 is a dirty little secret in our culture. People will 0:52:56.360 --> 0:52:59.520 talk about their sex lives, they'll talk about whatever it is, 0:52:59.600 --> 0:53:02.640 they'll reveal everything going on, what they had for breakfast, etc. 0:53:03.320 --> 0:53:06.280 But nobody will ever talk about the power, the power 0:53:06.400 --> 0:53:08.600 moves they did to get ahead in life. And we 0:53:08.719 --> 0:53:11.480 all have done them right, We've all been manipulative in 0:53:11.600 --> 0:53:13.480 some way to get to the top. If we got 0:53:13.560 --> 0:53:17.640 to the top. So there's a lack of honesty about 0:53:17.680 --> 0:53:20.480 who we are and about our desire for power and 0:53:20.520 --> 0:53:22.960 the things we do for power. And I don't think 0:53:22.960 --> 0:53:26.160 that's getting any better. You know, maybe in two hundred 0:53:26.280 --> 0:53:30.279 years a ray of light, well it will hit earth 0:53:30.360 --> 0:53:33.000 and people will will change and they'll suddenly be more 0:53:33.040 --> 0:53:35.759 self aware, and that would be a wonderful thing, but 0:53:35.880 --> 0:53:39.520 I wouldn't bet on it. Wow, well man, thank you, Robert, 0:53:39.640 --> 0:53:41.840 you know, thank you for all your literature, all information 0:53:41.920 --> 0:53:44.480 you've given us over the years, the conversation you create. 0:53:44.560 --> 0:53:47.080 Thank you for Ryan Holiday, who's also become one of 0:53:47.160 --> 0:53:52.520 my favorite authors.

Yeah, I 0:53:58.000 --> 0:54:00.120 read it every morning. All right. I'm coming out with 0:54:00.239 --> 0:54:02.960 my own version called The Daily Laws. It'll be out 0:54:03.040 --> 0:54:09.680 in September. Inspired that very similar to that.

It's a four part 0:54:34.360 --> 0:54:38.680 documentary that premier is today actually on YouTube Originals. Reveals 0:54:38.719 --> 0:54:42.840 a lot and in this documentaries she talks about dealing 0:54:42.920 --> 0:54:46.200 with her addiction and also a nearly fatal overdose in 0:54:46.280 --> 0:54:49.840 twenty eighteen. Here is the trailer. I crossed a line 0:54:50.400 --> 0:54:52.359 that I had never crossed. Are we talking about heroin? 0:54:52.440 --> 0:54:59.680 Are we doing that? Is a lot? People are gasping 0:55:00.000 --> 0:55:04.399 action levels or dangerously well, what you mean watching all 0:55:04.480 --> 0:55:07.120 of her blood out of her body into a machine. 0:55:07.440 --> 0:55:09.920 She's like, I can't I can't see I can't see him. 0:55:11.239 --> 0:55:15.200 I had three strokes, I had a heart attack. My 0:55:15.440 --> 0:55:19.120 doctors said that I had five to ten more minutes 0:55:21.560 --> 0:55:23.880 that could top and said, yeah, you could be. You 0:55:23.920 --> 0:55:25.400 know a lot of people can be a function to heroin. 0:55:25.440 --> 0:55:29.160 And never you ain't gonna never get off, doctor Carl Hard. 0:55:29.560 --> 0:55:33.240 This lady, this lady heroin had strokes and heart attacks, 0:55:33.560 --> 0:55:35.160 had to take the blood out of her system. And 0:55:35.239 --> 0:55:40.239 she's rich, and she's rich, Doctor Carl Hart would say 0:55:40.320 --> 0:55:43.560 that she should be able to test her drugs right 0:55:43.640 --> 0:55:46.400 to see what's in it right, because if she probably 0:55:46.920 --> 0:55:49.200 took something that had other things in it other than pure, 0:55:49.640 --> 0:55:52.920 well she did, she said she, She said she had 0:55:53.120 --> 0:55:55.520 that night done meth and she had never done it before, 0:55:55.560 --> 0:55:58.560 and she makes it with ecstasy, coke weed, alcohol, and oxycotton. 0:56:00.560 --> 0:56:04.000 So that was the night of the first relapse when yes, 0:56:04.160 --> 0:56:06.239 all of that happened. So it feels like he and 0:56:06.360 --> 0:56:09.400 he also did say mixing all these drugs together is 0:56:09.800 --> 0:56:13.520 normally what leads to people overdosing, and she could have 0:56:13.600 --> 0:56:15.440 died from that. She said she has brain damage that 0:56:15.520 --> 0:56:17.480 she still deals with the effect of that today. She said, 0:56:17.480 --> 0:56:20.040 I don't drive a car because I have blind spots 0:56:20.080 --> 0:56:21.719 in my vision. She said she had a really hard 0:56:21.800 --> 0:56:24.360 time reading for a long time, and it was a 0:56:24.400 --> 0:56:25.960 big deal when she was able to read a book 0:56:25.960 --> 0:56:28.759 because her vision was so blurry from that. So you 0:56:28.800 --> 0:56:31.840 can start watching that docuseries. She also said that it 0:56:31.920 --> 0:56:34.320 was an untreated eating disorder that led to her relapse. 0:56:34.400 --> 0:56:37.120 She read a magazine that said she was morbidly obese, 0:56:37.880 --> 0:56:40.640 and the body shaming is actually what led to her relapse. 0:56:40.840 --> 0:56:43.040 I know these three words it easier said than done, 0:56:43.040 --> 0:56:45.680 and they sound cliche, and I don't necessarily agree with 0:56:45.760 --> 0:56:48.080 the reagans at all, but damn just saying no, bro, 0:56:49.920 --> 0:56:52.640 it's just easier to keep people from even getting into 0:56:52.719 --> 0:56:55.359 that world is trying to figure out the right way 0:56:55.360 --> 0:56:58.120 to do the wrong thing, and also body shaming and 0:56:58.239 --> 0:56:59.640 all of that just She said she had to stop 0:56:59.760 --> 0:57:03.360 a read articles about herself and that also helped her 0:57:03.400 --> 0:57:06.280 because people were talking about her, and you know, that's 0:57:06.320 --> 0:57:07.840 not easy to deal with either when you're in the 0:57:07.880 --> 0:57:10.879 public spotlight. She's been working since she was ten years old. 0:57:12.040 --> 0:57:16.640 All right, now, comedian Garry owens estranged wife Kenya Duke 0:57:16.760 --> 0:57:20.520 has gone on social media. Now she posted something and 0:57:21.320 --> 0:57:23.520 we don't know what's going on here, but somehow Claudia 0:57:23.640 --> 0:57:26.360 Jordan and a mystery friend, a mystery woman is involved. 0:57:26.400 --> 0:57:28.440 She posted, I have all your info. I'm going to 0:57:28.520 --> 0:57:30.480 deal with you in a minute. I'm a little busy. Now. 0:57:30.760 --> 0:57:33.040 You can have him, but you can't disrespect me and 0:57:33.200 --> 0:57:37.040 my kids in the process. She told Owen let her 0:57:37.080 --> 0:57:38.960 know a storm is coming, and then she put in 0:57:39.040 --> 0:57:41.040 the caption tried to be quiet out of respect for 0:57:41.160 --> 0:57:44.040 my kids, but Claudia Jordan has me on one this morning, 0:57:44.360 --> 0:57:46.920 twenty three years together. Gary didn't have ish but a 0:57:47.000 --> 0:57:49.280 raggedy pickup, in good credit and no place to live. 0:57:49.760 --> 0:57:52.320 And then she posted you're old as should no better married, 0:57:52.400 --> 0:57:56.000 not separated married, And then she posted to at Gary 0:57:56.080 --> 0:57:59.040 Owen Comedy, all the energy you spent lying, acting and 0:57:59.160 --> 0:58:01.680 creating a fake narrative for these bitches that want to 0:58:01.800 --> 0:58:03.560 be me, you could have done it with a veggie 0:58:03.600 --> 0:58:06.360 burger and a glass of fake filtered water. Then she 0:58:06.400 --> 0:58:09.680 said white women are not involved. Hashtag not Claudia. Hashtag 0:58:09.720 --> 0:58:14.120 Claudia's friend hashtag dragging me back to ninety eight MacArthur Street. Mindset. 0:58:14.480 --> 0:58:16.800 What the hell are y'all talking about this morning? I 0:58:16.880 --> 0:58:19.919 don't know, and guess what neither this Claudia Jordan. Here's 0:58:19.920 --> 0:58:22.040 what she had to say. I guess the story is 0:58:22.080 --> 0:58:25.640 that I somehow that he cheated and the woman is 0:58:25.680 --> 0:58:28.480 my friend. First of all, in my twenty years of 0:58:28.680 --> 0:58:32.520 knowing him, not one of my friends have ever told 0:58:32.600 --> 0:58:35.360 me or have ever implied that they have messed with 0:58:35.480 --> 0:58:39.640 this man. And also know, as adults, sometimes people break up, y'all, 0:58:40.000 --> 0:58:41.680 and it's not as scandals as you wanted to be. 0:58:42.200 --> 0:58:44.440 It's none of our business. But all I came out 0:58:44.480 --> 0:58:46.520 here to tell y'all is that I have absolutely nothing 0:58:46.560 --> 0:58:48.480 to do with it. I do not have a friend 0:58:48.640 --> 0:58:51.800 in Dallas or anywhere else that is this man's mistress. 0:58:51.840 --> 0:58:54.280 I don't know if any woman that's his mistress. I 0:58:54.360 --> 0:58:57.480 do not know what the hell y'all talking about. One 0:58:57.520 --> 0:58:59.160 thing she said that is very true, It is none 0:58:59.200 --> 0:59:00.760 of our business. But the problem is all of this 0:59:00.840 --> 0:59:02.720 stuff plays out on social media. So when it plays 0:59:02.760 --> 0:59:06.160 out on social media, people think it becomes their business 0:59:06.200 --> 0:59:07.800 because now they feel like they have to have an 0:59:07.840 --> 0:59:10.919 opinion about it, and I wish none of social media. 0:59:11.320 --> 0:59:13.520 When I saw this, I went right to Claudia's page 0:59:13.560 --> 0:59:15.120 to see if she had responded to it, and I 0:59:15.200 --> 0:59:17.800 saw she was on a flight and her comments. People 0:59:17.840 --> 0:59:19.680 were going at her, and she was like, what are 0:59:19.760 --> 0:59:21.960 y'all talking about? What? I'm on the flight right now. 0:59:22.000 --> 0:59:24.440 I don't know what's happening. So she said, a raggedy 0:59:24.480 --> 0:59:28.240 ass pickup truck, bad jokes and good credit. What did 0:59:28.280 --> 0:59:31.120 she say? You're just doing the bad job. I think 0:59:31.760 --> 0:59:39.760 the bad jokes, jokes you pick up and good credit 0:59:39.920 --> 0:59:43.560 and no place to live about bad jokes for no reason. 0:59:45.680 --> 0:59:48.320 I want you to heat. I was asking the question 0:59:48.600 --> 0:59:51.640 when you get out of no phone call, whatever it is, 0:59:52.160 --> 0:59:54.400 I mean, Gary, I want you to heat. Vy's asks, 0:59:54.400 --> 0:59:56.000 are you just gonna throw bad jokes? I didn't mean 0:59:56.040 --> 0:59:57.600 to throw bad jokes, I asked, I don't know what 0:59:57.680 --> 1:00:00.040 a veggie burger has to do with it. That's I 1:00:00.120 --> 1:00:02.480 actually just bad random stuff. I was just asking what 1:00:02.560 --> 1:00:05.400 it was, that's all. I was. Nothing to play out 1:00:05.400 --> 1:00:09.520 on social media. I really don't play out regardless, yet. 1:00:09.560 --> 1:00:12.920 I hope they work things out. Man. Gary's a good dude. No, 1:00:13.080 --> 1:00:14.360 don't try to throw that on him now if you 1:00:14.400 --> 1:00:17.240 said that, man, I'm just asking a question. Gary is 1:00:17.280 --> 1:00:19.560 a funny dude. He just asked up. Gary, I asked 1:00:19.640 --> 1:00:21.960 what she said. He ain't here dressed like one of 1:00:22.000 --> 1:00:24.200 the pink ladies from Greece this morning, looking like Frenchy, 1:00:24.280 --> 1:00:26.400 looking like he did duty, and he got the nerve 1:00:26.400 --> 1:00:27.840 to talk about you jump on his asks when you 1:00:27.880 --> 1:00:29.800 get a chance.

You Yeah, 1:01:53.240 --> 1:01:56.120 talk you today for Tuesday, March twenty third goes to 1:01:56.200 --> 1:01:59.680 a former Louisiana priest named Travis Clark. Travis Clark is 1:01:59.720 --> 1:02:02.520 thirty seven years old and he's a former priest. Did 1:02:02.560 --> 1:02:04.240 I say that already? Yes? I did. But he is 1:02:04.280 --> 1:02:06.320 a former priest. I'm saying that for a third time. 1:02:06.560 --> 1:02:08.600 Why is he a former priest saying it for a 1:02:08.720 --> 1:02:11.240 fourth time. Well, he's a former priest saying it for 1:02:11.320 --> 1:02:15.760 a fifth time because he wasn't practicing what he was preaching. Okay, 1:02:15.800 --> 1:02:18.280 it's a lot of that going around nowadays, and I 1:02:18.320 --> 1:02:20.840 don't know how y'all live that way. Okay, I'm doing 1:02:20.960 --> 1:02:23.600 my own head about everything to live that way. That's 1:02:23.640 --> 1:02:25.640 one of the reasons I'm in therapy every week. That's 1:02:25.680 --> 1:02:28.000 why I meditate the way my anxiety is set up. 1:02:28.040 --> 1:02:32.600 I'm always questioning everything. Okay, anxiety be like, okay, but 1:02:32.760 --> 1:02:34.880 what if I'd be like, I got this, leave me alone. 1:02:34.920 --> 1:02:36.800 We've gone over this one hundred times already and we 1:02:36.880 --> 1:02:39.360 totally resolved it. Did anxiety be like, yeah, but I've 1:02:39.400 --> 1:02:41.080 looked at it from a new angle, and there's like 1:02:41.200 --> 1:02:43.120 twenty more reasons why you should be worried about it 1:02:43.160 --> 1:02:46.160 than me. I just sit there and then I tell anxiety, 1:02:46.760 --> 1:02:50.480 go on, continue, tell me more. And this is why 1:02:50.560 --> 1:02:52.960 I could never just lie to people. And I'm a 1:02:53.120 --> 1:02:56.560 human who loves to lie for no reason. But I 1:02:56.720 --> 1:02:58.800 tell the kind of lies that you will hear and 1:02:58.920 --> 1:03:01.600 shay to yourself. I know he's lying, but you have 1:03:01.760 --> 1:03:03.840 to see for yourself. And when you find out I'm lying, 1:03:03.880 --> 1:03:05.880 you're not really mad because you knew I was lying 1:03:05.920 --> 1:03:10.439 to begin with. For example, last week, I told Envy 1:03:10.920 --> 1:03:14.160 that Security was dealing with a guy downstairs who refused 1:03:14.200 --> 1:03:17.000 to leave until he got a kiss from our pink 1:03:17.080 --> 1:03:20.600 power ranger DJ Envy. Now, Envy, did you believe me 1:03:20.640 --> 1:03:23.640 when I told you that? Yes? No, you didn't. You did? Yeah, 1:03:23.720 --> 1:03:25.280 I caused the cur to securities like, what the hell 1:03:25.320 --> 1:03:28.400 are you talking about? Why would you believe that? Though? 1:03:29.160 --> 1:03:31.600 That's you? But see that that's my point. You know 1:03:31.720 --> 1:03:34.240 it's me. You know I'm lying. I'm saying all that 1:03:34.400 --> 1:03:37.360 to say, I'm just not built to lie to the masses. Okay, 1:03:37.920 --> 1:03:40.600 just Envy, all right, I'm not I'm not built to 1:03:40.640 --> 1:03:44.360 lie to the masses. Okay. Pastors, relationship coaches, spiritual gurus, 1:03:44.400 --> 1:03:49.000 all these people who need these colt like followings to 1:03:49.160 --> 1:03:52.360 make a living, to make a dollar, manipulating folks pretending 1:03:52.440 --> 1:03:55.280 to be something they are not know Okay, but it's 1:03:55.280 --> 1:03:58.360 not gonna stop anytime soon, because this online era we 1:03:58.480 --> 1:04:02.120 live in really rewards people for performing. Everybody is an avatar. 1:04:02.200 --> 1:04:04.640 They log online and become people they are not in 1:04:04.760 --> 1:04:09.040 real life. But one thing about those performances, though, the 1:04:09.240 --> 1:04:12.040 curtain will always fall. Yes, when you are performing and 1:04:12.160 --> 1:04:14.560 not truly being who you are, not being authentic, the 1:04:14.720 --> 1:04:17.280 curtain will eventually fall and this show will be over. 1:04:17.680 --> 1:04:22.320 That's why Travis Clark is a farmer priest, Ladies and Ghettlement. 1:04:22.360 --> 1:04:26.120 He's a farmer priest because his idea of the Trinity 1:04:26.480 --> 1:04:28.880 is different than the idea of the Trinity that most 1:04:28.920 --> 1:04:32.520 religious folks know. Christians in particular, they know the Trinity 1:04:32.600 --> 1:04:36.360 as the unity of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. 1:04:37.520 --> 1:04:41.440 The Godhead is what I think they call it, the Godhead. Now, 1:04:41.520 --> 1:04:45.640 Travis Clark believe in the Trinity is being one Dominatrix. 1:04:45.960 --> 1:04:50.680 Am I pronouncing that right? Yea dominatrix? Yes? That so, Yes, 1:04:50.760 --> 1:04:53.480 Travis Clark believes in the Trinity is being one dominatrix, 1:04:54.360 --> 1:04:59.360 two dominatrixes and him. Okay, I don't know what kind 1:04:59.360 --> 1:05:03.120 of head you what, I'm sure someone's involved. Would you 1:05:03.240 --> 1:05:06.640 like to know the full story? Let's go to wwltvcbs 1:05:06.640 --> 1:05:09.320 fall for the report. Police. By now you've likely heard 1:05:09.360 --> 1:05:12.040 about the burning of an altar at a Pearl River church. 1:05:12.440 --> 1:05:15.320 Investigator David Hammer brought you the story this week about 1:05:15.360 --> 1:05:19.160 Father Travis Clark and his sexual misconduct inside Saints Peter 1:05:19.280 --> 1:05:22.560 and Paul Church and Pearl River. Now, according to documents, 1:05:22.800 --> 1:05:25.880 a passer by spotted father Travis Clark halfneck at having 1:05:25.960 --> 1:05:29.600 relations on the the women, Melissa Chang and Mindy Dixon 1:05:29.640 --> 1:05:32.840 were dressed in corsettes and high healed boots, and in 1:05:32.960 --> 1:05:35.600 those documents that were adult toys, stage lighting and a 1:05:35.680 --> 1:05:38.560 mobile phone as well as a separate camera recording it all. 1:05:39.360 --> 1:05:45.040 Father Travis Clark, you in the church on the all 1:05:45.160 --> 1:05:49.120 to having sex using holy water is lou b listen, man, 1:05:49.280 --> 1:05:53.160 the flesh is weak. We all fall short. I'm sure 1:05:53.280 --> 1:05:56.640 Travis Clark has preached against this kind of behavior, but 1:05:57.840 --> 1:06:00.280 this is when the narcissism comes into place. This is 1:06:00.320 --> 1:06:02.919 when the ego takes over. It's one thing to fall 1:06:03.040 --> 1:06:06.880 short and have sex, Okay, you human, father calrk. I 1:06:06.960 --> 1:06:09.360 get it, you made a mistake. But to have sex 1:06:09.440 --> 1:06:14.000 in the church a top of church, alto, that's like 1:06:14.200 --> 1:06:16.800 sleeping with another woman in your house, in the bed 1:06:16.920 --> 1:06:19.600 you share with your wife. When you, as a priest 1:06:19.720 --> 1:06:24.400 move like that, you don't care about the church, the congregation, yourself, 1:06:24.680 --> 1:06:29.080 and you can't truly care about God or his raf either. Now. 1:06:29.120 --> 1:06:31.800 I was reading up on Christian sex life this morning, 1:06:32.200 --> 1:06:34.680 and it's a website called Bible Reasons, and it says 1:06:34.840 --> 1:06:38.920 Christian sex life is amazing. Sex within marriage is a 1:06:39.040 --> 1:06:41.320 blessing from God, and married couples were free to do 1:06:41.560 --> 1:06:44.440 any sexual position they want, whether you want to do 1:06:44.640 --> 1:06:48.520 missionary or something else. Sex within marriage is God's gift 1:06:48.560 --> 1:06:51.040 to us, or you're free to do whatever between the 1:06:51.200 --> 1:06:54.960 two of you. Only we are not to have threesomes 1:06:55.000 --> 1:06:57.960 and sex with multiple people, nor are we allowed to 1:06:58.040 --> 1:07:01.120 bring pornography in the bedroom. So, Father Clark, you did 1:07:01.160 --> 1:07:04.760 a threesome and the church on the church altar with 1:07:05.040 --> 1:07:09.320 two women. You're not married to, Father Clock. You're going 1:07:09.360 --> 1:07:12.080 to hell. Those are the rules. Okay? Are those still 1:07:12.120 --> 1:07:15.120 the rules? He'll still exists, right, Okay, do not pass, go, 1:07:15.280 --> 1:07:18.120 do not collect two hundred, Go to Hell, Father Clark. Okay, 1:07:18.160 --> 1:07:20.720 you could have been on Christian mingle finding a wife 1:07:20.920 --> 1:07:24.160 so you could have nice, guilt free marriage, sinless sex. 1:07:24.280 --> 1:07:28.080 But no, you want to have threesomes on the church altar. 1:07:28.400 --> 1:07:30.600 Now you gotta go to hell. Okay, I think God 1:07:30.600 --> 1:07:32.080 would have forgiven you if you would have did this 1:07:32.160 --> 1:07:36.440 in the hotel, But on the church altar, the church altar, Nope, 1:07:36.720 --> 1:07:39.320 you gotta burn. Okay, please, and the name of God, 1:07:39.840 --> 1:07:43.400 Jesus and the Holy Ghost. Let Rimymond give Father Travis 1:07:43.480 --> 1:07:46.720 Clark the biggest he ha he ha he ha, you 1:07:47.000 --> 1:07:49.920 stupid mother? Are you dumb? They had to set the 1:07:49.960 --> 1:07:55.360 whole church altar on fire because of Father Clock Judea 1:07:56.920 --> 1:08:01.080 the World's most Dangerous morning show. Morning Everybody is tej Envy, 1:08:01.400 --> 1:08:04.480 Angela Yee, Charlomagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. 1:08:04.520 --> 1:08:08.680 We got a special guest joining us this morning, Cynthia Arrival. Welcome, 1:08:09.560 --> 1:08:12.760 thank you very much. Hello, good morning, Cynthia. How are 1:08:12.840 --> 1:08:16.120 you got? Good? Thank you? How you doing? I'm blessed 1:08:16.120 --> 1:08:18.320 Black and hally Fame. Well, obviously we're here to talk 1:08:18.360 --> 1:08:22.479 about the genius Aretha series that you're starring in as Aretha. 1:08:23.200 --> 1:08:25.120 So were you a huge fan of everything? Because I 1:08:25.120 --> 1:08:27.000 know you're already a singer and a songwriter. What was 1:08:27.040 --> 1:08:30.880 your connection before the series? Yeah, I was a big fan. 1:08:31.280 --> 1:08:33.760 I'm a big fan. I started listening to her maybe 1:08:34.160 --> 1:08:37.000 when I was about nine, and I fell in love 1:08:37.120 --> 1:08:41.640 with how she communicated through her music, how she was 1:08:41.720 --> 1:08:47.679 able to commit a feeling, an emotion, a circumstance through song. 1:08:47.840 --> 1:08:50.600 And I was learning through her how to do that 1:08:50.880 --> 1:08:54.120 for myself. So how did this role? How did this 1:08:54.240 --> 1:08:58.000 role come about. I was on the red carpet at 1:08:58.040 --> 1:09:01.719 the Tony's and I was asked by Mark A Variety 1:09:01.840 --> 1:09:04.479 to sing my favorite song or like my guilty pleasure song, 1:09:04.520 --> 1:09:06.400 and Ain't No Way was one of my songs. And 1:09:06.640 --> 1:09:08.080 in fact, he didn't ask me to sing, He just 1:09:08.080 --> 1:09:09.920 asked me what it was. And then when I told 1:09:10.000 --> 1:09:11.799 him what it was, he sort of gave the notework. 1:09:12.160 --> 1:09:15.240 Sing some of it please, So I sung a bit 1:09:15.320 --> 1:09:18.280 of the song and that went back to Brian Grazer 1:09:18.360 --> 1:09:20.760 and Clyde Davis, and then I got a message saying 1:09:20.800 --> 1:09:22.400 that they had heard me sing this on the red 1:09:22.479 --> 1:09:24.760 carpet and that they wanted me to come in and 1:09:25.000 --> 1:09:27.800 talk about playing the role. Cynthia's the most important thing 1:09:27.960 --> 1:09:29.920 when it comes to playing these roles, because the first 1:09:29.960 --> 1:09:31.559 thing I think is when I see it, I say, 1:09:32.760 --> 1:09:36.479 like a river, Franklin. So what's the most important thing? 1:09:37.240 --> 1:09:40.280 I think The most important thing is whether or not 1:09:40.960 --> 1:09:44.400 you can find the essence of that person, because it's 1:09:44.479 --> 1:09:47.240 one thing to mimic a person, but that's not what 1:09:47.360 --> 1:09:49.680 I am. I'm I'm not a mimic. I can't do that. 1:09:49.920 --> 1:09:53.760 That's not what I'm not. An impressionist and if that's 1:09:53.800 --> 1:09:55.720 all I was, the rest of the story couldn't be told. 1:09:55.760 --> 1:09:57.920 So I guess it's wanting to tell the story as 1:09:57.960 --> 1:10:00.680 fully as possible. It's one to find out what the 1:10:00.800 --> 1:10:03.000 essence of her was. It is finding out what her 1:10:03.080 --> 1:10:06.160 music did and how her music was song and met 1:10:06.200 --> 1:10:08.760 the method that she was singing in, the technique she had, 1:10:09.360 --> 1:10:13.120 and it's the I think the want of everyone around 1:10:13.280 --> 1:10:15.680 me as well to want to tell it, just the 1:10:15.800 --> 1:10:18.920 same as Dinah Russ did for Lady Day. She looked, 1:10:19.760 --> 1:10:21.920 but she had her essence down to her. Tea was 1:10:21.960 --> 1:10:24.000 really special. So we able to speak with the family 1:10:24.160 --> 1:10:27.200 before doing this and maybe get some insight about her 1:10:27.280 --> 1:10:29.400 life and anything like that. I was able to speak 1:10:29.400 --> 1:10:32.080 to her family, but I'm lucky enough to know a 1:10:32.120 --> 1:10:34.200 lot of people who were very close to her, so 1:10:34.280 --> 1:10:35.840 I spoke to a lot of those people. Had a 1:10:36.120 --> 1:10:39.560 conversation with Miss Felicia Richard as well about Everytha and 1:10:40.160 --> 1:10:44.320 Lynda's herman actual spoke to us about their relationship and 1:10:44.960 --> 1:10:47.320 how he felt about her, and that was a wonderful 1:10:47.360 --> 1:10:50.439 thing to find out too. Yeah, it was difficult, I 1:10:50.520 --> 1:10:52.240 think for you to be in this position right where 1:10:52.280 --> 1:10:54.600 you want to play this iconic role. But then there 1:10:54.680 --> 1:10:58.040 was so much controversy with the family and everything as 1:10:58.280 --> 1:11:00.240 whether or not they wanted this to even have been 1:11:00.560 --> 1:11:03.559 So how did that play into your decision? The thing 1:11:03.680 --> 1:11:06.720 is I didn't know about what was happening with the 1:11:06.800 --> 1:11:09.040 family prior to this. All of this is sort of 1:11:09.120 --> 1:11:12.040 like coming out in the wash now. So for me, 1:11:12.360 --> 1:11:15.600 I had already believed that everyone had the information and 1:11:15.800 --> 1:11:18.200 the promotions that they needed, and as far as I knew, 1:11:18.240 --> 1:11:20.360 they were already speaking to the estate that had already 1:11:20.360 --> 1:11:24.800 allowed for this to happen. So my job was just 1:11:24.920 --> 1:11:28.120 to play the Queen of Soul as fully and as 1:11:28.120 --> 1:11:31.000 truthfully as I possibly could. Yeah, and it's heartbreaking because 1:11:31.040 --> 1:11:34.360 for me, I love her. I would never do anything 1:11:34.479 --> 1:11:36.880 that causes any harm to her. I would never do 1:11:36.920 --> 1:11:40.080 anything that doesn't show her in the light that she's 1:11:40.120 --> 1:11:43.320 meant to be shown. The woman had an incredible life 1:11:43.400 --> 1:11:46.439 and incredible career and had to work through some really 1:11:46.520 --> 1:11:48.280 tough things, And I think that the thing that we 1:11:48.800 --> 1:11:52.040 get to show with this is how much she had 1:11:52.120 --> 1:11:54.479 to work to get to where she was and how 1:11:55.120 --> 1:11:57.559 difficult it was at the time that she was living 1:11:57.600 --> 1:11:59.880 through to get to the thing that we know now, 1:12:00.720 --> 1:12:02.680 which for me makes her even more of a hero 1:12:02.920 --> 1:12:06.960 than we realized. Did you have any reservations the player's 1:12:07.040 --> 1:12:09.559 role because of the respect movie that's coming out Lady 1:12:09.600 --> 1:12:13.320 this year? With me, I think that the more the merrier. 1:12:13.479 --> 1:12:16.519 I think there's a strange understanding that we can only 1:12:16.640 --> 1:12:21.519 have one. But we have many Marilyn Monroe films, many 1:12:21.640 --> 1:12:25.320 Judie Garland films, many presidents films of who which name 1:12:25.360 --> 1:12:27.640 the President? And we have more than one. And I 1:12:27.720 --> 1:12:30.360 thought that what a wonderful way. I knew that she 1:12:30.400 --> 1:12:32.439 would get her wish with Jennifer Hudson and she would 1:12:32.439 --> 1:12:34.759 get an extra with my version. So you were singing 1:12:34.800 --> 1:12:37.600 for real in this series. Yeah, that's a lot of 1:12:37.680 --> 1:12:40.160 pariasure too, to be singing these areta signs because you know, 1:12:40.240 --> 1:12:43.519 everybody's like, okay, but you did amazing, Thank you very much, 1:12:43.560 --> 1:12:45.040 thank you. Yeah. I've been singing her songs for a 1:12:45.120 --> 1:12:49.200 long time now. She's too, I learned from so I 1:12:49.439 --> 1:12:54.439 was really excited to learn the intricacies of the decision 1:12:54.560 --> 1:12:56.000 she would make it in a song. No one song 1:12:56.160 --> 1:12:59.519 is the same. She has her own very special way 1:12:59.560 --> 1:13:03.200 of singing everything, and one song can be sung in 1:13:03.280 --> 1:13:05.200 three different ways. If you if you listen to different 1:13:05.240 --> 1:13:08.479 versions by Aretha, and I took the time every song 1:13:08.560 --> 1:13:10.200 that we had an hour or an hour or two 1:13:10.600 --> 1:13:12.360 to work through every single one to make sure that 1:13:12.400 --> 1:13:14.639 I could get the small bits and pieces, the small 1:13:14.680 --> 1:13:17.000 details that she would happen the songs. Yeah, would you 1:13:17.120 --> 1:13:21.120 sing though? Right? Do I do? I do sing? Yeah? 1:13:21.439 --> 1:13:23.960 You got an album coming out this songer? Right I do? Yes? 1:13:24.479 --> 1:13:28.519 Who you sign? Would verb universal? Yeah? Okay, so you're 1:13:28.520 --> 1:13:31.479 doing a lot. You got an album during this pandemic, 1:13:31.560 --> 1:13:33.920 You're acting during this pandemic. You're doing a lot. You 1:13:34.040 --> 1:13:36.200 making sure your time is if you're doing your time 1:13:36.240 --> 1:13:39.200 the right way. I was recording it whilst I was 1:13:39.200 --> 1:13:41.519 doing so we would finish in the week and I 1:13:41.560 --> 1:13:44.240 would have to go and vocal everything after on the weekend, 1:13:44.360 --> 1:13:46.479 so we get the week was full of Aretha. The 1:13:46.520 --> 1:13:49.840 weekend was full of me singing. How do you dump that? Though? 1:13:49.920 --> 1:13:52.559 I mean you you you're channeling like this great diva 1:13:52.760 --> 1:13:55.280 during the week, Like, how do you put that to 1:13:55.360 --> 1:13:57.320 the side to focus on the energy you want to 1:13:57.360 --> 1:13:59.280 put out in your music? I don't know that you 1:13:59.320 --> 1:14:03.519 can completely you put it aside. I think that you 1:14:03.640 --> 1:14:05.280 know why, you kind of have to you have to 1:14:05.439 --> 1:14:07.760 use it. I guess I was using the inspiration that 1:14:07.840 --> 1:14:09.920 I was getting from from doing this show at the 1:14:09.960 --> 1:14:12.040 same time, the details that she would have, the detail 1:14:12.080 --> 1:14:16.200 oriented where she would use her music, the style, and 1:14:16.320 --> 1:14:19.160 I know who I am individually, but there's a there's 1:14:19.160 --> 1:14:22.599 a real passion in in a read that I sort 1:14:22.640 --> 1:14:25.400 of I already heard but was amplified because I got 1:14:25.479 --> 1:14:28.040 to play her. So I kind of used it. I 1:14:28.120 --> 1:14:30.040 guess it's a great thing to be able to use 1:14:30.120 --> 1:14:32.240 that kind of energy to perform. You sort of get 1:14:32.800 --> 1:14:35.960 fired up. Really yeah, just even for yourself, right and 1:14:36.080 --> 1:14:38.400 preparing for this role. And did you know a lot 1:14:38.479 --> 1:14:40.080 of things about a Reatha or did you learn a 1:14:40.160 --> 1:14:41.920 lot while doing this? Because I was watching it and 1:14:41.960 --> 1:14:44.200 I love a Retha Franklin. I was when her house 1:14:44.320 --> 1:14:46.400 was for sale and Detroit, I was like, I had 1:14:46.439 --> 1:14:48.320 this big road in the middle of the carpet. I 1:14:48.479 --> 1:14:50.240 was like, man, I wish I could buy this to 1:14:50.320 --> 1:14:53.120 read the house. That's like a monumental thing. But even 1:14:53.160 --> 1:14:56.200 when you're watching the first couple of episodes, you're you're 1:14:56.280 --> 1:14:58.960 learning a lot about her childhood and how crazy it 1:14:59.200 --> 1:15:01.800 was yeah, I knew. I knew some things and I 1:15:01.920 --> 1:15:05.400 learned some things, you know. I think it's an incredible 1:15:05.479 --> 1:15:08.120 feat to be able to be who she was after 1:15:08.200 --> 1:15:10.439 being a mother at such an early age. And I 1:15:11.120 --> 1:15:13.840 knew it, but when you're working through it and you 1:15:14.400 --> 1:15:18.440 and you're putting it in context, it becomes even more amplified. 1:15:19.160 --> 1:15:22.600 That this woman had to be a mother and a 1:15:22.680 --> 1:15:25.720 young woman before she was even ready to, but still 1:15:25.880 --> 1:15:29.719 was able to work through that and become Aretha Franklin 1:15:29.840 --> 1:15:33.160 that we know and love. I didn't know how deeply 1:15:33.320 --> 1:15:36.760 she was working with the civil rights movement. I didn't 1:15:36.800 --> 1:15:40.840 know that she had a relationship with Martin close friends. 1:15:41.200 --> 1:15:44.280 That was an eye opening moment for me, and I 1:15:44.400 --> 1:15:46.320 think it was the first time that I was able 1:15:46.320 --> 1:15:48.360 to put into context the fact that she that her Young, 1:15:48.400 --> 1:15:51.080 Gifted and Black album was because of that, that she 1:15:51.160 --> 1:15:53.760 had made a decision to make an album that spoke 1:15:53.840 --> 1:15:55.439 to the times that they were living through that she 1:15:55.600 --> 1:15:58.280 was living through. We have more with Cynthia Arriva when 1:15:58.320 --> 1:16:02.160 we come back. Doble was the Breakfast Good Morning, j Envy, 1:16:02.400 --> 1:16:05.439 Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the Guy We Are the Breakfast Club 1:16:05.680 --> 1:16:09.120 were still kicking it with Cynthia Arrivo Charlomagne. What energy 1:16:09.240 --> 1:16:12.679 have you channeled with for Rifa and Harriet for that matter, 1:16:12.800 --> 1:16:15.360 that was hard to get rid of. Harriet was something 1:16:15.400 --> 1:16:19.200 to Harriet was traumatic, I would assume, Yeah, I had. 1:16:19.400 --> 1:16:23.479 I had a had a little mini breakdown after Harriet 1:16:23.960 --> 1:16:26.200 because it was just tough to get rid of all 1:16:26.280 --> 1:16:29.840 of the loss because as she was saving people, she 1:16:30.000 --> 1:16:32.240 was losing a lot of her family at the same time. 1:16:32.600 --> 1:16:34.880 And she was she had lost her husband, she had 1:16:34.920 --> 1:16:38.080 lost her sisters. She saved her family, but I think 1:16:38.120 --> 1:16:42.280 she almost lost her brothers. So for that I it 1:16:42.400 --> 1:16:45.479 was like this energy of loss. But there's both both 1:16:45.520 --> 1:16:48.160 of these women have us an amazing amount of bravery. 1:16:48.439 --> 1:16:51.160 So there's this courage that I think have picked up 1:16:51.200 --> 1:16:53.519 from both of these women. Yeah, we saw we saw 1:16:53.600 --> 1:16:55.439 the Keith Stanfield saying that he had to, you know, 1:16:55.560 --> 1:16:57.920 go to therapy after playing a role like William O'Neil. 1:16:58.000 --> 1:16:59.960 Did you have to do that after playing a role 1:17:00.120 --> 1:17:04.320 like her? Yes, still go to therapy for it. It's 1:17:04.320 --> 1:17:07.280 a lot. It was a lot too physically and mentally. 1:17:07.600 --> 1:17:11.840 Both those things combined were put through their paces. And yeah, 1:17:12.080 --> 1:17:17.599 I'm not like occasionally, you know, I thought she's gone, 1:17:18.040 --> 1:17:19.840 but even when I speak about it, it's still like 1:17:21.040 --> 1:17:24.120 gets me. Yeah, you know, it's an eight prior miniseries, 1:17:24.160 --> 1:17:27.160 so we've only seen the first couple of episodes so far. 1:17:27.840 --> 1:17:30.040 But what it is hard to watch it's like a 1:17:30.200 --> 1:17:34.320 complex relationship that Aretha has with her father, right, So 1:17:34.520 --> 1:17:36.720 can you speak on that and how you kind of 1:17:36.800 --> 1:17:38.880 delved into that when you were doing this role. But 1:17:39.000 --> 1:17:40.560 he had a complex relation. I think she had a 1:17:40.640 --> 1:17:45.200 lot of complex relationships, and this one was significant because 1:17:45.920 --> 1:17:49.880 partially it's the reason why we have her. He you know, 1:17:50.080 --> 1:17:52.800 had her out with him at a really early age, 1:17:52.840 --> 1:17:55.120 and she was listened to by a lot of people, 1:17:55.520 --> 1:17:58.320 and she was singing at a very early age. And 1:17:59.320 --> 1:18:03.160 I think that she loved him deep deeply, was very 1:18:03.240 --> 1:18:05.320 afraid to let him go when he was when he 1:18:05.439 --> 1:18:09.439 was dying, and still partially was that little girl who 1:18:09.600 --> 1:18:11.600 was afraid to be without her father. But at the 1:18:11.640 --> 1:18:14.920 same time, it was just she was an adult before 1:18:15.760 --> 1:18:17.560 she was ready to be. And so if there was 1:18:17.640 --> 1:18:23.160 this strange relationship of how do you compartmentalize and how 1:18:23.240 --> 1:18:26.760 do you work out how to keep this child a 1:18:26.920 --> 1:18:30.639 child whilst she's also a mother that that happened very quickly, 1:18:30.720 --> 1:18:33.439 and so I think that it never really balanced itself, 1:18:33.560 --> 1:18:36.840 to be honest. Yeah, that can be triggering too though, right, Cynthia, 1:18:36.880 --> 1:18:39.599 if you don't have a strong relationship with your father 1:18:40.040 --> 1:18:42.640 and you got to play that role, right, because I 1:18:42.640 --> 1:18:43.840 think a lot of times, for a lot of us, 1:18:43.920 --> 1:18:47.400 relationships were fathers sometimes are complicated because they feel more 1:18:47.479 --> 1:18:52.240 transactional than nurturing and loving like mothers. Yeah, for me, 1:18:52.400 --> 1:18:54.880 that's that's very true. I don't have a relationship with 1:18:54.920 --> 1:18:56.680 my father at all. I think the last time I 1:18:56.680 --> 1:19:02.120 spoke to him I was sixteen. Yeah. Yeah, this role 1:19:02.200 --> 1:19:05.040 hit a little different for you. Huh oh yeah yeah. 1:19:05.360 --> 1:19:08.599 And you have your own production company as well, right, Yeah, 1:19:08.640 --> 1:19:12.080 it's called Edith's Daughter, And we are trying to make 1:19:12.120 --> 1:19:16.639 sure we show projects about women like myself and yourself 1:19:16.960 --> 1:19:18.960 in spaces that we never get to see that we 1:19:19.080 --> 1:19:25.840 exist in already, but they're very rarely shown to the world. So, 1:19:26.040 --> 1:19:29.160 whether it be Sarah Forbes, Vanetta who was essentially a 1:19:29.240 --> 1:19:32.679 princess in the UK but was basically erase from history, 1:19:33.240 --> 1:19:36.519 or a wonderful woman called Loadonna who happened to be 1:19:36.920 --> 1:19:41.200 a security guard at JFK, and often they're the most 1:19:41.320 --> 1:19:44.880 underrepresented people in the space, but they're actually doing the 1:19:44.920 --> 1:19:48.800 hardest work and I'm always looking for those people. There's 1:19:49.880 --> 1:19:55.400 everything from hopefully espionage to historical drama. You know you're cynthy. 1:19:55.479 --> 1:20:00.240 There's always criticism about non black Americans playing all the 1:20:00.520 --> 1:20:03.040 roles of Black American icons. I feel like that Carbo 1:20:03.160 --> 1:20:04.880 might have started with you when you played Harriet. I'm 1:20:04.880 --> 1:20:06.960 not sure, but what do you say about that? I 1:20:07.000 --> 1:20:08.880 don't think it started with me. May have started with 1:20:09.560 --> 1:20:13.560 David maybe, but it definitely continued with me. What do 1:20:13.600 --> 1:20:18.680 you say about that? I say that we're still in 1:20:18.760 --> 1:20:21.719 a space of lack, and so what happens has become 1:20:21.720 --> 1:20:23.760 at these roles as though that they're as though they 1:20:23.800 --> 1:20:26.920 are the very last time it can be played or seen, 1:20:27.400 --> 1:20:31.840 which is just not the case. And I hope that 1:20:32.400 --> 1:20:35.360 my playing something doesn't mean that someone else can't play 1:20:35.439 --> 1:20:40.679 this role, and that British Black actors are our actors 1:20:41.240 --> 1:20:44.479 first and foremost. Our job is to tell the story 1:20:44.600 --> 1:20:48.479 as truthfully as we possibly can. And I know that 1:20:49.280 --> 1:20:52.360 I didn't get into this career to play myself. I 1:20:52.479 --> 1:20:55.559 do that very well already, but that's that's not my passion. 1:20:55.680 --> 1:20:58.679 My passion is to tell stories of those who aren't 1:20:58.680 --> 1:21:00.720 able to tell their own stories. And that might be 1:21:01.160 --> 1:21:03.320 an American, it might be a Scandinavian, it could be 1:21:03.360 --> 1:21:05.439 South African, it could be Nigerian, it could be British. 1:21:06.160 --> 1:21:09.320 As long as the story is something that I believe in, 1:21:09.800 --> 1:21:12.479 that's the story I want to tell, and hopefully now 1:21:12.560 --> 1:21:15.719 I can create more roles for other people. That's the aim. 1:21:16.280 --> 1:21:18.960 Have you ever looked at an American playing a role 1:21:19.040 --> 1:21:21.920 of an African or you know, a British person and 1:21:22.000 --> 1:21:27.160 said that person shouldn't be playing that role because they're American. No. No, 1:21:28.080 --> 1:21:30.000 it's so strange because it didn't occur to me that 1:21:30.160 --> 1:21:33.320 that was that was an issue until until I got here. 1:21:33.680 --> 1:21:36.559 I've never looked like there are so many British roles 1:21:36.600 --> 1:21:38.880 that have been played by Americans, so many and they've 1:21:38.920 --> 1:21:43.120 been African roles played they Americans, but it's never I've 1:21:43.160 --> 1:21:45.160 never been like wise in an African playing that role 1:21:46.760 --> 1:21:50.000 because rectors. Now, also, I see there was a rumor 1:21:50.080 --> 1:21:52.559 that you were in a relationship with Lena. Waithe that's 1:21:52.600 --> 1:21:56.240 our good friend up here. Any truth to that? I mean, 1:21:56.400 --> 1:21:59.000 here's the thing like, I understand we have to ask it. 1:21:59.200 --> 1:22:01.840 But if you ask that question and I'll give you 1:22:01.960 --> 1:22:04.280 an answer, that means that you are suggesting that I 1:22:04.360 --> 1:22:06.320 need to tell you what my sexuality is right now, 1:22:06.600 --> 1:22:09.920 which means that if I'm not ready to come out here, 1:22:11.120 --> 1:22:13.760 you would be outing me, Like how you do that 1:22:13.800 --> 1:22:16.679 back on me? So let's so I didn't ask that question, 1:22:16.800 --> 1:22:20.000 but check out a wreath of the genius Aretha, and 1:22:20.080 --> 1:22:22.960 we appreciate you for checking in. Thank you so much. Listen. 1:22:24.960 --> 1:22:35.600 Oh gosh, got angel, It's all right. Another alle you 1:22:35.720 --> 1:22:39.679 for DJMV. Now let's talk about this was trending yesterday 1:22:39.720 --> 1:22:42.040 and everybody was talking about this guy, Derek Jackson. Now, 1:22:42.120 --> 1:22:46.120 I guess he is a relationship expert and he's a 1:22:46.400 --> 1:22:49.519 quote relationship guru, and here he is. This is just 1:22:49.600 --> 1:22:51.360 one of the things that he talks about about men 1:22:51.840 --> 1:22:54.360 being cheaters. You know, women love this talk coming from 1:22:54.400 --> 1:22:58.240 a man. I have no sympathy for a man who 1:22:58.360 --> 1:23:01.160 finds it to be difficult to be faith after being 1:23:01.200 --> 1:23:04.559 in a permission was lifestyle and neither ship. Nobody told 1:23:04.560 --> 1:23:07.559 you to be permissious before the relationship, and nobody made 1:23:07.600 --> 1:23:09.760 you be monogamous. We just heard you don't want her, 1:23:09.920 --> 1:23:13.080 let another man have her. Except and more times, I 1:23:13.160 --> 1:23:15.280 would say nine times out of ten when the dude 1:23:15.320 --> 1:23:17.920 gets caught cheating, that was wasn't his very very first 1:23:18.000 --> 1:23:21.479 time cheating. That was his only time getting caught. Who. Well, 1:23:21.520 --> 1:23:24.840 I hit dog Bill Holler and it was exposed that 1:23:25.160 --> 1:23:27.680 he actually was cheating on his own wife. He's been 1:23:27.800 --> 1:23:33.360 married for four years. And YouTuber Tasha k actually interviewed 1:23:33.479 --> 1:23:36.040 a woman that he slept with named Candice Damaderos. And 1:23:36.120 --> 1:23:39.080 I guess there's other women who are also coming forward. Well, 1:23:39.160 --> 1:23:43.640 here is Derek Jackson who says that affair wasn't what 1:23:43.760 --> 1:23:46.519 you think. Listen, at that point, I had a beef 1:23:46.520 --> 1:23:49.200 with God. I gave my life to christ in my 1:23:49.360 --> 1:23:52.519 whole life fell apart, my marriage fell apart. At this point, 1:23:52.560 --> 1:23:55.200 I'm not seeing my kids and I really honestly just 1:23:55.280 --> 1:23:58.679 went to a place of ethic. That was in May June. 1:23:59.080 --> 1:24:01.200 She basically lets me know there's no plan for her 1:24:01.240 --> 1:24:04.719 to be around on my birthday. Now I'm in screw it, molde, 1:24:04.800 --> 1:24:08.160 ef it, molde. I'm hitting up old chicks. I really 1:24:08.240 --> 1:24:10.360 don't care at this point. One of those people was 1:24:10.439 --> 1:24:13.280 a girl named Candids. Now here's the thing. So me 1:24:13.400 --> 1:24:17.479 and Candids have had a sexual relationship without actually having sex. Man, 1:24:17.560 --> 1:24:19.960 you are a liar, and you've always been a liar. 1:24:21.640 --> 1:24:25.240 I've never yeah a sexual relationship without having sex. Does 1:24:25.280 --> 1:24:28.040 anybody understand that? Can you interpret that? No? I've never 1:24:28.120 --> 1:24:30.040 heard someone say I gave my life to Christ and 1:24:30.120 --> 1:24:33.680 my life fell apart. That's that's new one. But I mean, 1:24:33.720 --> 1:24:35.439 you can have you can have emotional you can you 1:24:35.439 --> 1:24:38.120 can cheat emotionally, right, right, you don't have to necessarily 1:24:38.160 --> 1:24:40.680 have sex with you. Sometimes you just gotta say, I'm 1:24:40.760 --> 1:24:43.519 I was wrong. I messed up. Yeah, I was confused 1:24:43.560 --> 1:24:45.800 with the brother first of all. I was confused with 1:24:45.880 --> 1:24:48.160 what makes him a specialist? Right, He's been married four 1:24:48.280 --> 1:24:51.880 years and he portrays his perfect in perfection. And anybody 1:24:51.920 --> 1:24:53.800 who's been married or been in a relationship, you know 1:24:54.000 --> 1:24:57.040 that there is nothing perfect about a relationship, about a marriage, 1:24:57.320 --> 1:25:00.160 There's nothing perfect. There is Like even with my Poe cast, 1:25:00.200 --> 1:25:01.920 with me and my wife, we talk about everything, the good, 1:25:01.960 --> 1:25:05.000 the bad, the ugly. I talked about my infidelity. I 1:25:05.080 --> 1:25:08.240 talked about everything because that's what makes the relationship strong, 1:25:08.360 --> 1:25:10.479 and that's what helps people out but portraying that something 1:25:10.680 --> 1:25:13.439 is perfect. People look for this perfection and there is 1:25:13.479 --> 1:25:15.960 no perfection. I talk about me being insecure, I talk 1:25:15.960 --> 1:25:18.680 about me being controlling early on in our relationship, but 1:25:18.760 --> 1:25:20.960 all that has helped and built to what we have today, 1:25:21.200 --> 1:25:23.599 and we talk about everything. We still get into arguments, 1:25:23.640 --> 1:25:25.680 we still have problems, but we have great times. But 1:25:25.760 --> 1:25:28.439 we talk about it and that's what relationships and marriage 1:25:28.520 --> 1:25:31.679 is about, working through it. Well. Derek also had said 1:25:31.760 --> 1:25:34.400 that he didn't sleep with that woman, or anyone for 1:25:34.479 --> 1:25:37.760 that matter. He said that did not happen, He did 1:25:37.880 --> 1:25:40.240 not sleep with her, but then he changed his tune. 1:25:40.280 --> 1:25:42.920 He actually did a video with his wife and she 1:25:43.120 --> 1:25:45.720 was there with him. She was wearing a bonnet. And 1:25:46.320 --> 1:25:49.439 here's what happened. The truth is is that Derek Jackson 1:25:49.560 --> 1:25:52.439 was involved with other women outside the marriage, and I involved. 1:25:52.479 --> 1:25:54.280 I want to be clear. I'm not talking about just 1:25:54.760 --> 1:25:57.040 casually kicking nick maybe a lunch or something like that. 1:25:57.120 --> 1:25:59.840 I'm talking about a serious that has sex and something 1:26:00.120 --> 1:26:03.160 that otherwise may be considered okay by some, but without 1:26:03.200 --> 1:26:04.840 my wife's knowledge of it, and with us having a 1:26:04.840 --> 1:26:07.920 sexual history, all of it falls under the umbrella of 1:26:08.200 --> 1:26:12.479 inappropriate cheating, affair, stepping out. It's important that I first thought, 1:26:12.560 --> 1:26:14.599 let you guys know I do not stand by those actions. 1:26:14.640 --> 1:26:16.800 And then secondly, I know that I cannot build a 1:26:16.880 --> 1:26:20.920 platform preaching certain things, preaching against certain things. And then 1:26:20.960 --> 1:26:24.120 in my real life lived contrary to that, I know 1:26:24.240 --> 1:26:25.920 one thing. You have to let your wife get to 1:26:25.960 --> 1:26:28.080 the part of the busteed challenge when Erica Banks song 1:26:28.200 --> 1:26:30.920 plays before you put her online and embarrass her because 1:26:30.920 --> 1:26:32.760 she looked like the Nelly Park was still playing. Yeah, 1:26:32.760 --> 1:26:35.400 she didn't look like drop down and come up fresh. 1:26:35.680 --> 1:26:37.320 Dad never asked, She didn't look like she want to 1:26:37.360 --> 1:26:40.160 be there. And I would hope that they would figure 1:26:40.200 --> 1:26:43.000 out their problems first before they go to the world, 1:26:43.240 --> 1:26:46.000 Like figure out home first, don't don't. Don't just have 1:26:46.120 --> 1:26:48.120 your wife up there and you're talking and she looks 1:26:48.120 --> 1:26:50.920 like she doesn't want to be there.

This 1:26:55.280 --> 1:26:57.080 ain't about the public, This ain't about the world. This 1:26:57.160 --> 1:26:59.560 is if you really care, like you say, this is 1:26:59.560 --> 1:27:02.920 about you and your wife, man and fixing the only 1:27:02.960 --> 1:27:05.840 thing I would tell everybody out there, I would rather 1:27:05.920 --> 1:27:09.120 be known in life as an honest center than a 1:27:09.200 --> 1:27:13.400 lying hypocrite. Okay, and also remember that God will never 1:27:13.520 --> 1:27:15.679 bless who you pretend to be. He will only bless 1:27:15.760 --> 1:27:18.559 who you are.

It's the 1:29:49.120 --> 1:29:52.000 most in track and field history for men and women. 1:29:52.560 --> 1:29:54.840 Last year, Allison was named on the Times one hundred 1:29:54.920 --> 1:29:57.680 most Influential People, and that is because of her work 1:29:57.760 --> 1:30:01.240 as an advocate for better maternity coverage for female athletes. 1:30:01.600 --> 1:30:07.040 Here she is discussing that it's Woman's History Month and 1:30:07.120 --> 1:30:09.800 we're celebrating the most influential women in his check out 1:30:09.840 --> 1:30:11.640 this phenomenal work. What was it like to have your 1:30:11.680 --> 1:30:13.800 daughter be witnessed, I think for the first time now 1:30:13.840 --> 1:30:16.080 to these victories, it was amazing. You know. I want 1:30:16.120 --> 1:30:18.439 to be a good role model to her, and you know, 1:30:18.560 --> 1:30:20.840 this year was all about fighting, you know, fighting for 1:30:21.040 --> 1:30:23.400 so much and I want to eventually, you know, tell 1:30:23.479 --> 1:30:25.559 her that story of that. But she'll be able to see, 1:30:25.600 --> 1:30:28.160 you know that I did try to overcome some adversity. 1:30:28.280 --> 1:30:30.639 So how did you know even that ten months after 1:30:30.680 --> 1:30:33.680 an emergency C section that you were even ready to 1:30:33.760 --> 1:30:35.720 get back on the truck. Seems your body would still 1:30:35.720 --> 1:30:39.080 be out of whack. It still is. I'm still getting there, 1:30:39.120 --> 1:30:41.320 you know, ways ago, but you know, just really talking 1:30:41.360 --> 1:30:44.120 to my doctors about, you know, this new body that 1:30:44.200 --> 1:30:47.200 I have, and when I was clear to get back 1:30:47.280 --> 1:30:50.000 out there, and I started slowly, It was a gradual process. 1:30:50.080 --> 1:30:52.920 I started walking and eventually made my way back. Did 1:30:52.960 --> 1:30:55.160 it feel really different it? Did? You know? I was? 1:30:55.280 --> 1:30:57.880 It's very humbling. You know, things that once came really 1:30:57.920 --> 1:31:00.760 easy to me were now very difficult. Well, was gonna say. 1:31:00.760 --> 1:31:02.320 It's stressing to point out that most of the other 1:31:02.400 --> 1:31:05.400 countries that you're competing against on the track there, those 1:31:05.479 --> 1:31:09.519 runners come from countries where parents get protections in pregnancy 1:31:09.600 --> 1:31:12.839 and also in maternity leave. You've taken a fight public 1:31:12.960 --> 1:31:16.600 to make sure athletes get protections under these contracts. What 1:31:16.720 --> 1:31:18.760 does the country need to do and what more needs 1:31:18.800 --> 1:31:20.960 to be done at a corporate level? Does he changes 1:31:21.000 --> 1:31:23.000 happen a lot? I mean, this is an issue that 1:31:23.280 --> 1:31:27.160 everyone is affected by, and I tackled it in my industry. 1:31:27.280 --> 1:31:29.240 But I think that's just really the starting point, you know. 1:31:29.600 --> 1:31:31.920 That's why I want to leave behind is changes for 1:31:32.080 --> 1:31:38.840 the next generation and for my daughter. And that was 1:31:38.880 --> 1:31:42.679 another phenomenal woman in his Yes, congratulations to Alison Felix, 1:31:42.880 --> 1:31:46.000 well deserved. She is truly a role model, amazing athlete. 1:31:46.600 --> 1:31:48.880 She was introduced to the sport late in life in 1:31:48.960 --> 1:31:50.639 high school and she went on to win her first 1:31:50.680 --> 1:31:54.360 Olympic gold medal just four years later.
