Speaker 1: don't even know read almost all of those. But Mastery.

Speaker 1: think success can come over night, but they don't understand
Speaker 1: if you want to be amazing at something, you do
Speaker 1: have to master it. Yeah. I've always wondered if Outliers
Speaker 1: influenced The Mastery. Michael Gladwell's outlines influenced the mastery because
Speaker 1: it's the whole, you know, the outlines of the ten
Speaker 1: thousand and hour theory. Mastery is more like, you know,
Speaker 1: twenty thousand, just an unlimited amount of hours. Just put

Speaker 1: Damn goodness crazy? All right, well, let's get into froot
Speaker 1: page news. Where are we starting you, Well, we have
Speaker 1: some really sad news to start with. Ten people were
Speaker 1: killed after a gunman opened fire and a grocery store
Speaker 1: in Boulder, Colorado. This was at a King Supers that's
Speaker 1: owned by Kroger's Supermarket, and a suspect is in custody,
Speaker 1: according to Boulder Police Chief Maris Harold. Authorities did not
Speaker 1: share any information on his identity or the type of weapon,
Speaker 1: but they did say one authority told CNN that it
Speaker 1: was aar fifteen. They said they are working around the
Speaker 1: clock to get all this accomplished. And one police officer
Speaker 1: was slain, fifty one year old Eric Talley. He was
Speaker 1: one of the first officers to respond to the scene.
Speaker 1: He had joined the Boulder Police Force back in two ten.
Speaker 1: They did not disclose the identity of any of the
Speaker 1: other victims. Now. One person did speak to Aaron Burnett
Speaker 1: on CNN, Ryan Borowski. He said he was shopping at
Speaker 1: the store when he heard the first shots. Listen to
Speaker 1: Ryan's account, when we ran out the back door We
Speaker 1: were all single file, and I had my hand on
Speaker 1: one person's back and another person had their hand on
Speaker 1: my back. We weren't tripping on each other, and nobody
Speaker 1: fell down. When we got to the back of the house.
Speaker 1: There were some people who started to run into like
Speaker 1: a pantry or some sort of storage area and a
Speaker 1: dead end, and employees made sure to show them the
Speaker 1: way out. I just threw my groceries on a shelf
Speaker 1: and took off from my life. Do we ever get
Speaker 1: a break in America? They always something like Jesus, Like
Speaker 1: last year during the pandemic, you know, I didn't hear
Speaker 1: about a lot of mass shootings, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: So I guess now did everybody you know back outside?
Speaker 1: A lot of people people back actively doing this type
Speaker 1: of stuff, Like come on, and this is the seventh
Speaker 1: mass shooting in the United States in the past seven days.
Speaker 1: And here's what else Ryan Borowski had to say about
Speaker 1: not feeling safe. It doesn't feel like there's anywhere safe
Speaker 1: anymore sometimes, And this feels like the safest spot in America.
Speaker 1: And I just nearly got killed forgetting a soda, you know,
Speaker 1: and a bag of chips. Wow, do we have a motive. No,
Speaker 1: no motive yet. Did they get the guy? They caught
Speaker 1: the guy? Yeah, yes, they have him in custody, always
Speaker 1: in custody. They didn't kill him. It must be white
Speaker 1: white man, yes, of course, look like a white man. Okay,

Speaker 1: I'm extremely blessed, got a good job, good wife, and
Speaker 1: good family, all that good stuff. But it was just
Speaker 1: brought to my attention. The post Office has just approved
Speaker 1: fifteen weeks of one hundred percent pay for people to
Speaker 1: take off. But they will not reward the people who
Speaker 1: come to work. I haven't taken off the day since
Speaker 1: all this kicked off. Not wow, damn. But they will
Speaker 1: not reward the people who come to work every day
Speaker 1: like we supposed to. But they want to keep giving
Speaker 1: people excuses and reason to take off. Now. Granted, some
Speaker 1: people need it, but everybody don't. Yeah. I heard a
Speaker 1: lot of businesses are if you have to go take
Speaker 1: a COVID test, they're giving you like a half a
Speaker 1: day to go get tested. I heard a lot of
Speaker 1: people are really taking advantage of that. Not our job.
Speaker 1: They did bring the test to you. They they ain't
Speaker 1: give you nothing off. And another thing. Man. So when
Speaker 1: it was the election time, we had everybody talking about
Speaker 1: the post office, Rashida to Lead, Gary Peters, Brenda Lords.
Speaker 1: We don't hear nothing no more. Now that they got
Speaker 1: their little seats and they re elected, we don't hear
Speaker 1: nothing no more about the post office. Man. Right, we're ridiculous.
Speaker 1: You're right about that. I will say this though, I
Speaker 1: feel like you should take some time off and over
Speaker 1: time is ridiculous. Pay okay, but don't worry about anybody.
Speaker 1: Keep getting that, man. But you still gotta have self care,
Speaker 1: oh brother. Self care is very important for your mental
Speaker 1: and emotional health. Man. You're absolutely right, no question about it.
Speaker 1: But I sleep good knowing that I'm putting dollars in
Speaker 1: the bank. But still we should be rewarded for coming
Speaker 1: to work. Man. This is the breakfast club. This is
Speaker 1: your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're
Speaker 1: man than from you on the breakfast club, but you
Speaker 1: got something on your mind? Hello? Who's this? Yes? Right here?

Speaker 1: your help, man, I really need to have. I tried
Speaker 1: to reach out to Lucie Reynolds. I tried to reach
Speaker 1: out to a bunch of other people um from the program.
Speaker 1: But my only last option was to call on the radio.
Speaker 1: All right, just hold on. Give you're a list of
Speaker 1: like four or five contractors. You call them all, you
Speaker 1: make them all come to the property, and then you
Speaker 1: get the best price and the best feeling and the
Speaker 1: best work. You know, when whenever you do a try,
Speaker 1: you get a couple of people to come in to
Speaker 1: give you that quote, because you never know who's trying
Speaker 1: to get over on you. You never know who's missing something,
Speaker 1: and you know it's the same. Like, you get a
Speaker 1: couple of people who do the quote, and then somebody
Speaker 1: you can trust. I read what these are gonna be
Speaker 1: the reliable. These are your reliable guys right here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I call I call a couple of people when I
Speaker 1: do work. Like even when I have a plumber come,
Speaker 1: I call it two or three plumbers. When I have
Speaker 1: an electrician, I call two three electricians, just to make
Speaker 1: sure that I'm getting the right price. Because people will
Speaker 1: try to overprice you. It doesn't matter who you are,
Speaker 1: where you live. They will try to get you if
Speaker 1: they can. But hold on, I get you some numbers,
Speaker 1: right brood, Thank you I'm we're still on the phone
Speaker 1: right now. All right, hold on, hello, who's this? What's up?
Speaker 1: Trav Traf? Hey Bell? What's my star pieces? How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing good? Listen man, I hate to do this
Speaker 1: to my guy, but I talk about that little real
Speaker 1: quick man. What happened? He set you up? I don't
Speaker 1: like I'm a little lie last week? What are you
Speaker 1: lied about singing to you? When y'all playing the video
Speaker 1: and him singing and be asked him a clear question
Speaker 1: and say that's the video you saying, trams and it
Speaker 1: because saying no lying, yeah, like don't be lying like
Speaker 1: something like he wan't nothing heard about it? That's the
Speaker 1: video you say, oh yeah, he attracted to you, tray,
Speaker 1: because there's no reason to lie about that if he
Speaker 1: not attracted you. And so I gotta I gotta know
Speaker 1: he's gotta check this to me. But look, so I
Speaker 1: gotta do actually say that the all that he was singing,
Speaker 1: and you said, that's the song that everybody has to
Speaker 1: go to the song you actually right, I know everybody
Speaker 1: just singing that song and it is to go either
Speaker 1: that one or don Nel Jones. It was I played
Speaker 1: you saying but don't be lying. All right, track tell
Speaker 1: us when you hit all right? The IDA weren't everybody? Hello?
Speaker 1: Who's this yo? This is tid. I'm calling you from Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Try what I'm getting off your chest? Are you feeling
Speaker 1: Charlotte Magne in pretty thing or your thing? Hey? Listening
Speaker 1: little mama. Little Mama is making the case that I
Speaker 1: think should be talked about in the public sector about
Speaker 1: heterosexual rights movement. Although I don't support her fully in part,
Speaker 1: she does talk about some things that I think people
Speaker 1: should be looking as seriously, such as the actual value
Speaker 1: of evidence and proof, and you know that. Whereas I
Speaker 1: don't think it's technically wrong or morally wrong for somebody
Speaker 1: to mask their gender, I do think and I know
Speaker 1: that it is completely wrong to be forced to accept
Speaker 1: somebody's haven't changed their gender when humans cellular biology says
Speaker 1: that you have not and cannot accomplish that. I'm not
Speaker 1: a Christian. I know the pursuit of Christianity very well.
Speaker 1: I don't think somebody should be pressured into trying to
Speaker 1: marry two men or two women if you're a Christian
Speaker 1: minister and have to face a whole bunch of controversy
Speaker 1: because it's so far left of what you're doctrine teachers,
Speaker 1: and in the taxpayer funding neighbor public schools where they
Speaker 1: teaching history, writing, mathematics, arithmetic, please teach civics and biology
Speaker 1: and chemistry. They don't necessarily need to have to be
Speaker 1: teaching m about homosexual relationships any more than you need
Speaker 1: to be teaching about head king, King, King King. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something. I have no idea what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. Oh, Mama, are you aware heterosexual rights movement?
Speaker 1: Heterosexual rights movement. Yeah, spend some time with it. Maybe
Speaker 1: could be a topic for your show later next week
Speaker 1: or something. Maybe you could get wrong and me you
Speaker 1: kind of be able to follow better what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think she was saying. I think she was saying something.
Speaker 1: Part of it was she didn't she didn't want to
Speaker 1: see uh, any type of relationship or television, not heterosexual
Speaker 1: relationships all the time. Yeah, I think she was just
Speaker 1: saying any of it. Yeah, she says she didn't want
Speaker 1: to see any of it because it doesn't allow kids
Speaker 1: to make up their own mind, because they can be
Speaker 1: you know, uh, impressionable. I said, I'm not with her
Speaker 1: in total, but she is onto something to such a
Speaker 1: degree that they're actually, why are we talking about this
Speaker 1: so long? Because it becomes the part of the social
Speaker 1: conversation with you actually talk about on your broadcast. But
Speaker 1: I gotta know what I'm talking about. I don't have
Speaker 1: no idea what you're talking about. We'll pick it up,
Speaker 1: pick it up. Since the time with it, wrestle with it.
Speaker 1: You work for drama show because dramas hangs up on
Speaker 1: anybody else him and envy. But today, for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: they just He's like, what do we talk all of that?
Speaker 1: We act like we got so much time here on
Speaker 1: this show, like that's what we jove to talk about
Speaker 1: for two to three minutes. The Breakfast Club Morning, everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ M V Angela Ye, Charlomagne, the guy. We
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors to
Speaker 1: talk NBA Young Boy, It's about time report with Angela
Speaker 1: Yee on the Breakfast Club. NBA Young Boy is an
Speaker 1: FBI custody lap. The cops did pull him over and
Speaker 1: they tracked him down when he tried to flee the scene.
Speaker 1: According to TMZ, they said that he has an outstanding
Speaker 1: federal warrant and that set off a pursuit, and once
Speaker 1: the car stopped, they said NBA Young Boy then ran
Speaker 1: on foot, and the cops set up a perimeter. They
Speaker 1: bought in a canine to helped find him, and the
Speaker 1: police dog did not bite him, but they did sniff
Speaker 1: him out and find him. All right. For one am
Speaker 1: shocked by these developments. There's nothing about NBA Young Boy
Speaker 1: that makes me believe he would be a prime candidate
Speaker 1: for jail. Why would the police ever be looking for him?
Speaker 1: He seemed so pleasant? Yeah, but what did he do
Speaker 1: with where he had a warrant? Do we know what
Speaker 1: the warrant was? The outstanding federal warrant? Listen, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but all I know is they found a firearm in
Speaker 1: the vehicle. They said, they're unclear if that belongs to
Speaker 1: him as of now. I know before he had gotten
Speaker 1: stopped and they found some guns, but he said none
Speaker 1: of them were his. So I want to know where
Speaker 1: he was running. You are NBA young Boy, You do
Speaker 1: know that, right? I think that's the first reaction is
Speaker 1: just a run, you know. I mean, I'm surboused to
Speaker 1: dog didn't bite him. My first reaction wouldn't be the
Speaker 1: one if I was a rapper making millions of dollars. Okay, No,
Speaker 1: if he had a warrant, you might. I don't know
Speaker 1: if he know, if he had award or that. I
Speaker 1: think I thought he was running because there was guns
Speaker 1: in the car. But my point with that is somebody
Speaker 1: else you're to be claiming those guns because I am
Speaker 1: NBA young boy. Yeah, I mean sometimes you just want
Speaker 1: to I don't know. I guess probably for a lot
Speaker 1: of people, your first reaction is to get out of there. No, no,
Speaker 1: m Yeah. The federal investigation is after he got arrested
Speaker 1: for drug and firearm charges after police responded to reports
Speaker 1: of a large group of people brandishing weapons while filming
Speaker 1: a music video. I am shocked, and he said none
Speaker 1: of them belonged to him. All right. Now, Twitter CEO
Speaker 1: Jack Dorsey has sold the NFT of his first tweet
Speaker 1: for two point nine million dollars. Remember we were talking
Speaker 1: about these NFTs and he announced the digital auction for
Speaker 1: the post. It was the first ever tweet that was
Speaker 1: sent out fifteen years ago. And yes, two point nine
Speaker 1: million dollars is how much that went for. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: totally understand the NFTs now, Jim Jones put us on.
Speaker 1: He was on the Breakfast Club last week, and you know,
Speaker 1: I've had other people on my team talk to me
Speaker 1: about it, so I totally understand what it is. I
Speaker 1: just don't understand why people would pay that much, right,
Speaker 1: that much money, that kind of stuff. But he shut up.
Speaker 1: Let me shut up, right, because I actually a digital
Speaker 1: footprint out there. I'm gonna find me something to sell.
Speaker 1: I learned it about a while ago because one of
Speaker 1: my friends who's an artist, was selling some of his
Speaker 1: artwork and he was explaining to me how it worked,
Speaker 1: and he was like, listen, you could be doing this.
Speaker 1: You could be doing pieces of interviews and selling those
Speaker 1: music videos whatever. People can do that all right, And
Speaker 1: assigned jay Z trading cards so for a record breaking price,
Speaker 1: and that was one hundred and five thousand, seven hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty dollars. It's a one of one card. Or
Speaker 1: Initially it was lingering around two thousand dollars on the
Speaker 1: online auction site. Then one buyer started heating it up
Speaker 1: and it ended up going for one hundred and five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. They said, that's an all time record for
Speaker 1: any non sports TCG card. Question, that's BEAUTIFU by the way,
Speaker 1: But does Jack's tweet appreciate with value? Will it be
Speaker 1: worth more in the future. We don't know what's going
Speaker 1: to happen with these NFTs, But what I do know
Speaker 1: is that with NFTs, if somebody else who ever bought it,
Speaker 1: sells it, the original person still gets a piece of that.
Speaker 1: So as much as people trade it and sell it,
Speaker 1: it's still the original owner will still get a percentage.
Speaker 1: So the more people that sell it and traded and
Speaker 1: all of that, you get a little more money because
Speaker 1: as an owner, because I can understand why that tweet
Speaker 1: would have value. Is that the first tweet ever? Because
Speaker 1: that is, Yeah, but it's a first tweet ever, right,
Speaker 1: a copy of the tweet? Right, Yeah, it's a digital
Speaker 1: it's a digital. Yeah, it's digital. It's all digital. All
Speaker 1: these things NFTs are digital copies. Nick said, it's not,
Speaker 1: but it's the first tweet ever, right, like ever because
Speaker 1: Jack runs Twitter, so yeah, boy, he said, anybody can
Speaker 1: see it. Anybody can copy it, So yeah, anybody can
Speaker 1: see it. But it's many, but it gives you a
Speaker 1: digital certificate of authenticity, so it confirms that it's real.
Speaker 1: It's one of a kind. Nobody else will have it,
Speaker 1: and it's the only one I just want to know
Speaker 1: that appreciate with about you. That's a all right, Well
Speaker 1: that is your rumor report. Cash. You can never tell
Speaker 1: it something appreciates. I mean, that's just up in the air.
Speaker 1: Just like when you buy art, you don't know if
Speaker 1: it's gonna appreciate or not. Some art you can you
Speaker 1: know if it's gonna appreciate, just like some vehicles. You
Speaker 1: know it's gonna appreciate. But I'm just curious about what happens,
Speaker 1: you know, because right now it's a fat right. Everybody
Speaker 1: wants to do it. But let's say people say, you
Speaker 1: know what, I don't like this anymore. Let's get some
Speaker 1: money now and figure all that out later. What you
Speaker 1: want to put He got his breakfast We got a
Speaker 1: bunch of post first breakfast club promos we've ever done.

Speaker 1: We are to Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news.
Speaker 1: Where we starting you? Well, let's first go to Miami beat. Now,
Speaker 1: two men who are spring Breakers from Greensboro, North Carolina
Speaker 1: that we're visiting South Beach have been arrested. They've been
Speaker 1: accused of drugging and raping a woman who later on
Speaker 1: died in her hotel room. The men Evar Collier, who's
Speaker 1: twenty one, and Dorian Taylor, twenty four, are also accused
Speaker 1: of stealing her credit cards to spend money on their
Speaker 1: trip in South Beach. So the arrest comes, as you know,
Speaker 1: it's been a bit of a mess out there in
Speaker 1: Miami Beach. And they said they could be charged with
Speaker 1: burglary with battery, sexual battery, petty theft, and the fraudulent
Speaker 1: use of a credit card. If the drug that they
Speaker 1: gave her has proven to have played a role in
Speaker 1: her death, they could also potentially face a manslaughter or
Speaker 1: murder charge. The woman was a twenty four year old
Speaker 1: visiting from Pennsylvania. She was staying at the Albion Hotel.
Speaker 1: Now what happened was this, They met her at a restaurant,
Speaker 1: according to what the mental detectives, and they said that
Speaker 1: they gave her a green pill. They believed it was percocet,
Speaker 1: and now they've sent that to the lab. They don't
Speaker 1: know if it was fetanol or some other narcotic. And
Speaker 1: they say they planned to have sex with the victim
Speaker 1: and walking into the hotel, they said the woman was
Speaker 1: staggering that they had to hold her up as they
Speaker 1: walked into the elevator, holding her from behind, holding her
Speaker 1: by the neck so that she could stand. Once at
Speaker 1: the hotel, they each had sex with her, and at
Speaker 1: one point they said you could he forced himself on
Speaker 1: her as she appeared to be unconscious, and then when
Speaker 1: it came clear that she was unconscious, they stole her
Speaker 1: cash or credit cards and her phone and left her
Speaker 1: in the room without any concern for her welfare or safety.
Speaker 1: They then used the stolen credit card at various locations
Speaker 1: in Miami Beach, and they were caught on video surveillance
Speaker 1: actually using her credit card. Yeah, they're gonna wake up
Speaker 1: in a prison ten years from now kicking themselves thinking
Speaker 1: about that stupid ass choice they made to go down
Speaker 1: the South Beach and do that to a young lady.
Speaker 1: But yeah, they deserve life, they absolutely for a long time.
Speaker 1: You drug that woman, you rape that funny for a
Speaker 1: year old woman, Just leave her there to die by
Speaker 1: her and still her credit cards and her South Build
Speaker 1: credit cards and cash and use them. Discussing disregard for
Speaker 1: a woman's life, all right now, Ten people, there's no
Speaker 1: good news this morning. Ten people, including a police officer,
Speaker 1: were killed Monday. A gunman opened fire and a grocery
Speaker 1: store in Boulder, Colorado, and that was at a King's
Speaker 1: super store. The suspect is in custody of to Boulder
Speaker 1: Police Chief Maris Harold. They but he said his name.
Speaker 1: They haven't released his identity or the type of weapon.
Speaker 1: But what we are hearing is that it wasn't aar fifteen.
Speaker 1: Now they said the slain officer is fifty one year
Speaker 1: old Eric Talley. They haven't released the names of the
Speaker 1: other victims as they're contacting the families, but they said
Speaker 1: Eric Talley was one of the first officers to respond
Speaker 1: to the scene and he had joined the Boulder Police
Speaker 1: Force back in two ten. So really a sad situation
Speaker 1: and our condolences to all of the families who are
Speaker 1: affected by this. We play we play some bets on
Speaker 1: the game of guests. What race It is the fact
Speaker 1: that they haven't released his name, but ten people shot
Speaker 1: at ten people day, which one was the ten people killed?
Speaker 1: Ten people killed, but they haven't released his name. I'm
Speaker 1: saying white male for five hundred dollars now. Ryan Borowski
Speaker 1: was shopping at the store and he first heard the
Speaker 1: shots and he said, by the third shot, everybody was running.
Speaker 1: Here's what he told Aaron Burnett on CNN When we
Speaker 1: ran out the back door, we were all single file,
Speaker 1: and I had my hand on one person's back and
Speaker 1: another person had their hand on my back. We weren't
Speaker 1: tripping on each other, and nobody fell down. When we
Speaker 1: got to the back of the house, there were some
Speaker 1: people who started to run into like a pantry or
Speaker 1: some sort of storage area and a dead end, and
Speaker 1: employees made sure to show them the way out. I
Speaker 1: just threw my groceries on a shelf and took off
Speaker 1: from my life. I know one thing. If that was
Speaker 1: a black man, Latino Muslim who was in custody and
Speaker 1: who was the suspect. We didn't know his name, his background,
Speaker 1: what he'd got in trouble for in eighth grade. By now,
Speaker 1: they haven't re released his dude's name. And I told
Speaker 1: you guys, this is the seventh mass shooting in the
Speaker 1: US in the past seven days. So where was the
Speaker 1: other six? Um? Of course, you know Atlanta stocked in California.
Speaker 1: This was on March seventeenth. Five people who were preparing
Speaker 1: a vigil there were shot in a drive by shooting Gresham, Oregon.
Speaker 1: Four victims taken to the hospital after a shooting in
Speaker 1: the city East of Portland. Houston March twentieth five people
Speaker 1: shot after a disturbance inside of a club. One is
Speaker 1: in critical condition after being shot in the neck. The
Speaker 1: rest are in stable condition. Dallas, March twentieth eight people
Speaker 1: shot by an unknown assailant, one of whom died. Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: March twentieth one person killed in another five injure during
Speaker 1: a shooting at an illegal party that they were at
Speaker 1: least one hundred and fifty people at. And this in Boulder, Colorado.
Speaker 1: American never get some break, we gotta go back and quarantine.
Speaker 1: I missed. I'm still I'm sorry. I'm still stuck on
Speaker 1: the girl from Pennsylvania that went out to spring Break
Speaker 1: and two brothers daughter was a great idea to hey,
Speaker 1: let's drugger and raper and steal her ish. Like, you know,
Speaker 1: that's a tough one because you know we both have daughters,
Speaker 1: you know, And it's gonna get to a point where
Speaker 1: I want to say, hey, Dad, I want to go somewhere.
Speaker 1: I want to go out, And it's like I don't
Speaker 1: even want my daughter to go to the mall. I
Speaker 1: don't even want to go to the Jersey Shore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but guess what you can go to that mall and
Speaker 1: didn't get shot by a mass shooter. But the suit
Speaker 1: I was at a suit and this was at a superman. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is bad, man. Pick your trauma, all right, man,
Speaker 1: you're chicking out the world's most dangerous morning show. If
Speaker 1: you have, it's the world most dangerous morning show. To
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club Charlomagne the god angela ye Envy had to
Speaker 1: step out. But man, we have one of my favorite
Speaker 1: authors on I've read I think pretty much everything he's written,
Speaker 1: Artist Duction and thirty two Strategies of War, Mastery, the
Speaker 1: Laws of Human Nature, the fiftieth Law, and of course
Speaker 1: the forty eight Laws of Power. Mister Robert Green is here.
Speaker 1: What's up, Robert? Oh that much? Thanks for having me,
Speaker 1: Charlotta Magnan in Good morning to you. Now, how are
Speaker 1: you further foremost? I know you had a stroke a
Speaker 1: few years ago. How are you feeling right now? I'm
Speaker 1: doing okay. I'm lucky to be alive, which is a
Speaker 1: good thing, and you know, I'm still in therapy. I
Speaker 1: can't really walk the way I used to walk, so
Speaker 1: it's a bit frustrating, but I'm dealing with it and
Speaker 1: I'm just happy to be alive, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I'm also very happy that I can write another book,
Speaker 1: that I can be on your show, that I still
Speaker 1: have my most of my brain functioning, So I'm okay.
Speaker 1: I always talk to people about your book Mastery because
Speaker 1: I think it's so important. I actually have a show
Speaker 1: I did with Facebook and it's called Mastery of Comedy
Speaker 1: and it's experienced comics that are helping out the up
Speaker 1: and coming ones. But that is basically based off of
Speaker 1: some of the ideas from your book Mastery. Oh I
Speaker 1: didn't know that. Well, that's great. You should have had
Speaker 1: me on your show. Well, it's just a little Facebook show.
Speaker 1: I always look at you, Rabbit Green, as somebody that's like,
Speaker 1: you know for that. Yeah, I'm not too big for that.
Speaker 1: The Outliers inspired Mastery because Outliers was ten thousand hours
Speaker 1: you just expounded on the left of ours. Well, I
Speaker 1: can honestly say I haven't read Outliers, so it didn't
Speaker 1: come from Outliers. I was aware of what he said.
Speaker 1: There's actually some differences between what he wrote in that book.
Speaker 1: I respect Malcolm Gladwell a law, but when I write
Speaker 1: a book, I try not to read things that are
Speaker 1: too close to it that have come out recently, because
Speaker 1: I want my ideas to be my own a bit.
Speaker 1: I'm a bit independent that way, so I deliberately avoided
Speaker 1: reading it, but I respect him. The ten thousand hour rule,
Speaker 1: which some people now are doubting, actually doesn't come from
Speaker 1: Malcolm Gladwell. It comes from a very famous study in
Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties. But Mastery was just sort of coming
Speaker 1: out of my own brain at a particular moment in
Speaker 1: my life. What would you think the difference between, you know,
Speaker 1: the ten thousand hour theory and what you put in Mastery, Well,
Speaker 1: I very much believe in the ten thousand hour theory.
Speaker 1: I was trying to show what would happen to the
Speaker 1: human brain at twenty thousand hours, for instance. So Mastery
Speaker 1: the endpoint is what I call a mix of the
Speaker 1: intuitive and the rational. You reach such a point where
Speaker 1: you probably are almost there Charlamagne, with how many podcasts done,
Speaker 1: where we have a feel for what you're doing a
Speaker 1: fingertip field, it's almost inside of it. You don't have
Speaker 1: to think anymore. So at ten thousand hours you become
Speaker 1: pretty brilliant creative in chess, in music or whatever, venture
Speaker 1: or in sports. I wanted to go to the next level.
Speaker 1: What happens if you spend ten, fifteen, twenty years delving
Speaker 1: into something and repeating and doing it over and over
Speaker 1: again with still a lot of enthusiasm and excitement, you
Speaker 1: reach a level that's to me almost superhuman, like an Einstein,
Speaker 1: like a da Vinci. So that's that's the only difference.
Speaker 1: And it's not just a matter of accumulating ten thousand hours.
Speaker 1: That's the misconception people have because you can spend fifty years,
Speaker 1: you know, in your garage painting and you'll eventually accumulate
Speaker 1: twenty thousand hours, but you won't be a master. You
Speaker 1: have to be. It has to be intensity, It has
Speaker 1: to be the kind of practice that you have, you know,
Speaker 1: it has to be within a certain time frame. So
Speaker 1: that's the only difference. And what I like about other
Speaker 1: things that I always use is when we talk about
Speaker 1: having your back against the war right to get out
Speaker 1: of a difficult situation, and we always need to operate
Speaker 1: with that same type of intensity. And that's something that
Speaker 1: I tried to practice too, where when you're comfortable, sometimes
Speaker 1: you don't go so hard, but then it takes for
Speaker 1: you be in a really difficult situation for you to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm at my wits end. It's either do or die
Speaker 1: right now, and that's when you really spring into action. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's called the death ground strategy. I did that in
Speaker 1: my thirty three Strategies of War book. I remember I
Speaker 1: was doing a book with fifty cent called The fiftieth Law,
Speaker 1: and I know I was a bit intimidated working with him,
Speaker 1: and it was the first time I'd ever worked with
Speaker 1: the so called celebrity. And the first version of the
Speaker 1: book was actually not very good. I have to be honest,
Speaker 1: and the publisher was going to cancel the project. They
Speaker 1: weren't satisfied with They were being polite, but they weren't
Speaker 1: satisfied with it. And so we brought in somebody else
Speaker 1: as a publisher and he said, okay, Robert, you have
Speaker 1: to redo it, and I cast I decided I'm going
Speaker 1: to redo it. And basically the problem was it wasn't
Speaker 1: enough me in the book. It was too much about
Speaker 1: too much fifteen not enough for me. It needed to
Speaker 1: be a mix. And he said, all right, we'll do
Speaker 1: what you say, but you have eight months to write it.
Speaker 1: Eight months and there's no way I can write this
Speaker 1: in eight months. I've got to rethink the whole thing.
Speaker 1: It's impossible. He said, Well, that's it. It's either that
Speaker 1: or the book is killed. And I never worked harder
Speaker 1: in my life. Ideas. It was like what you say,
Speaker 1: do it or you die. It was either finished that
Speaker 1: book or I would have failed in something, and it
Speaker 1: would have been very embarrassing. So when your back is
Speaker 1: against the wall like that, you suddenly find energy and
Speaker 1: ideas and a whole other level that you never suspect
Speaker 1: it was inside of you. It's interesting that you said
Speaker 1: you were intimidated working with fifty on The Fifty of Law,
Speaker 1: because the book is about overcoming fear. Well that's good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I don't I don't deny that I'm human.
Speaker 1: I have fear. You know when I met fifty he
Speaker 1: was actually said later on, he was a bit intimidated
Speaker 1: by me. You know, the guy who wrote the forty
Speaker 1: eight Laws of Power. We're now good friends, but you know,
Speaker 1: he's he's a lot more famous than I am, and
Speaker 1: I wanted the book to be something he was proud of,
Speaker 1: and that was really good. So having a level of
Speaker 1: a little bit of fear to me that level of
Speaker 1: fear where you think that your project, that your book
Speaker 1: isn't necessarily the greatest, that you have to up your game,
Speaker 1: that you have to make it better and better. That
Speaker 1: kind of level of fear can be productive. But the
Speaker 1: other fears that we talked about in the fiftieth law
Speaker 1: are very debilitating, particularly now in the pandemic. So, you know,
Speaker 1: I want to go back to something you said about
Speaker 1: master because it's almost unfair that we age physically because
Speaker 1: you know, you really don't become a master until later
Speaker 1: in your life, just based off experiment experience. Right. Is
Speaker 1: that why Lebron and Tom Brady are such a nomallies
Speaker 1: because they're able to anteen physically and so mentally they
Speaker 1: just massed at their craft. I think it's a combination
Speaker 1: of both. You know, you look at the two of them,
Speaker 1: and what they have in common is that they're they're
Speaker 1: incredibly incredibly good shape and it's not just working out
Speaker 1: in their physique. They also have an incredibly good diet, right,
Speaker 1: and so they understand that you have to treat the
Speaker 1: whole body. And they're also very much into the mental
Speaker 1: aspect and keeping the mind fresh and not you know,
Speaker 1: you could get kind of boring playing basketball for so
Speaker 1: many years the same game over and over, you can
Speaker 1: get burnout. And to be at his level thirty five,
Speaker 1: thirty six years old and to still feel like a
Speaker 1: kid and be excited, that takes a lot of work.
Speaker 1: So it's a combination of the mental and the physical
Speaker 1: as well. And it would be amazing if people in
Speaker 1: any venture sports or writing books or podcasting, if you
Speaker 1: could go on till you're eighty nine, imagine the wisdom
Speaker 1: that you would have at that point. But that's just
Speaker 1: not how we're built, you know. Yeah, how did the
Speaker 1: script change your perspective on life? Well, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: not been easy. I must I mean, I don't want
Speaker 1: to complain because now people are going through a lot
Speaker 1: of terrible stuff, you know, with the virus and a
Speaker 1: lot of people are dying. But I was someone who
Speaker 1: was very much into you know, exercise to movement. Writing
Speaker 1: can be very stressful, and my way of distressing was
Speaker 1: taking a hike up here in Griffith Park or going swimming,
Speaker 1: or going on my mountain bike, and in doing those things,
Speaker 1: some of my best thoughts would come to me. And
Speaker 1: I can't do any of that right, So I'm sort
Speaker 1: of trapped here in the house, and I have to
Speaker 1: learn I still can do other forms of exercise. I've
Speaker 1: had to change my whole way of thinking. But on
Speaker 1: the other hand, it's merely made me work on myself
Speaker 1: because I have you know, I have flaws as well,
Speaker 1: and some of them are my impatience, the fact that
Speaker 1: I really need want things to happen right now. I've
Speaker 1: had to become much more patient and in a way
Speaker 1: a little more humble, you know, because I can empathize
Speaker 1: a lot with people who don't have so much control
Speaker 1: over their life, whether it's physically or financially or whatever
Speaker 1: it is. Because for a good year, I was completely
Speaker 1: dependent on people helping me just eat and do basic things.
Speaker 1: So it really kind of was a humbling experience and
Speaker 1: I'm still dealing with it. I'm still learning from it,
Speaker 1: but it's I wish to hell it had never happened,
Speaker 1: and I often am just thinking back to just the
Speaker 1: days just before I had my stroke. My life seems
Speaker 1: so beautiful, but I didn't realize how beautiful it was.
Speaker 1: And I tell people a lot, don't take for granted
Speaker 1: the little things you have right now, because something like
Speaker 1: this happens, they could be gone and you don't realize
Speaker 1: until after it's gone. So it's been. It's been the
Speaker 1: worst and the most powerful experience in my life so far. Wow.
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about the law of
Speaker 1: human nature. You know, it's a great book, and you
Speaker 1: know you you talk about why people do what they
Speaker 1: do and how you can use both your own psychological
Speaker 1: flaws and those of others to your advantage at work
Speaker 1: and relationships in life. How much does technology influence the
Speaker 1: laws of human nature? Because to your point, I think
Speaker 1: people wake up nowadays and they get online social media
Speaker 1: to even know what to think, to even know what
Speaker 1: to feel. I don't even think people's natural thoughts of
Speaker 1: their own. They don't, they don't tap into that. So
Speaker 1: how much does the technology influence the laws of human nature? Well?
Speaker 1: So human nature is something that's that's something we don't
Speaker 1: we're not even aware of. It's so deep, with enough,
Speaker 1: it comes from literally millions of years of evolution, and
Speaker 1: how our brains are wired from circumstances completely different from
Speaker 1: our very sophisticated technological society. How our levels of fear
Speaker 1: and how our emotions are wired, How we're extremely susceptible
Speaker 1: to the feelings and ideas of other people around us,
Speaker 1: in our tribe or whatever, and how we're prone to
Speaker 1: feelings envy, and how the human being can feel aggressive
Speaker 1: and tribal, etc. And so technology hasn't changed that. So
Speaker 1: twenty thirty years of the internet is not going to
Speaker 1: rewire the human brain that evolved over so many millions
Speaker 1: of years. It's ridiculous to think that. In what it
Speaker 1: does is it makes things worse. It intensifies so many
Speaker 1: of the worst aspects of human nature. So I talk
Speaker 1: in the book of the power of envy. Envy is
Speaker 1: one of the oldest and most profound human emotions. We
Speaker 1: all experience it, right, but nobody ever likes to talk
Speaker 1: about it because it's a very ugly emotion. It's basically,
Speaker 1: you wish that you have something that other people have,
Speaker 1: and if it gets ugly enough, you act upon it. Well.
Speaker 1: Social media, in which we are aware on a level
Speaker 1: unimaginable ten twenty years ago, of every little thing going
Speaker 1: on in your life, of all the wonderful relationships you're having,
Speaker 1: of all of the great places you're visiting, all your
Speaker 1: wonderful travel experiences, etc. It's just a machine for generating
Speaker 1: envy among people, and we see that having political consequences
Speaker 1: and profound social consequences. And so the idea that I'm on,
Speaker 1: you know, the fear of missing out, you have to
Speaker 1: feel like you're doing what other people doing, where natural
Speaker 1: conformists is part of human nature, and this only kind
Speaker 1: of makes that worse. And then the fact that we
Speaker 1: have a dark side. I talk in the book that
Speaker 1: we have a shadow. There's a dark side to our character.
Speaker 1: Every single person has that. Well, on the Internet where
Speaker 1: you're basically anonymous, where you don't pay any consequences for
Speaker 1: being mean spirited, for being for bullying, for saying the
Speaker 1: stupidest things. Here you can just try out all of
Speaker 1: the worst parts of your character and pay no consequences.
Speaker 1: So it's just this this cool of all the worst
Speaker 1: parts of human nature that that can that can just
Speaker 1: kind of sit there and fester. I mean, there's a
Speaker 1: good part of social media. I don't deny that, but
Speaker 1: it hasn't changed human nature. It's just showing it a
Speaker 1: very powerful spotlight on it. Man. That's such a good point,
Speaker 1: especially when you think about, you know, the dark side
Speaker 1: and how everybody had the dark side because you know,
Speaker 1: you can look back at old tweets all, you know,
Speaker 1: old video everything, and you you can be looking at
Speaker 1: yourself and be like Jesus Christ, who was that? You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? But you were fueling the machine
Speaker 1: that is social media because that's what with the gas
Speaker 1: that made it go at the time. Yeah, it lives
Speaker 1: off of outrage. It lives off constantly generating people being
Speaker 1: upset and angry about things. And the angry you are,
Speaker 1: and the more you, you know, you kind of spew
Speaker 1: whatever your ideas are, the more people like you, the
Speaker 1: more you seem genuine, the more you seem animated and
Speaker 1: very you know, full of conviction. So it could be
Speaker 1: very dangerous. And we've seen the play out, I believe
Speaker 1: in the Trump era and some of the horrible things
Speaker 1: we went through for four years with his Twitter feed, etc.
Speaker 1: Now I want to talk about there's been a lot
Speaker 1: of conversations lately about ownership and entrepreneurship, and you have
Speaker 1: interesting things to say about self reliance and how partnerships
Speaker 1: and how you kind of have to have ownership and
Speaker 1: things so that you're not relying on other people. Do
Speaker 1: you think that's a trait that anybody can have. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, there's we're all wired differently. Some people are
Speaker 1: not entrepreneurial by nature. They have higher levels of fear,
Speaker 1: for example, And so there are people out there who
Speaker 1: are better off working for a large company. My father,
Speaker 1: God bless him, I loved him dearly. He worked for
Speaker 1: the same company for forty years. You know. He was
Speaker 1: basically a salesman and he had he's kind of working
Speaker 1: on his own, but it was with this one company.
Speaker 1: So some people aren't wired for that. But the world
Speaker 1: that we live in, I think is just this a
Speaker 1: place now that kind of rewards that sort of spirit.
Speaker 1: And we're in a period coming out of the pandemic
Speaker 1: where all the signs seem to indicate that we're heading
Speaker 1: towards some kind of boom, some kind of economic boom.
Speaker 1: There's going to be incredible opportunity out there. People are
Speaker 1: dying for all kinds of new experiences. I know that
Speaker 1: very myself. We've all been cooped up in our houses,
Speaker 1: our apartments, and we're yearning for something new. And so
Speaker 1: there's going to be insane opportunities out there for starting
Speaker 1: your own business on any level. And so you have
Speaker 1: to deal though first with your levels of fear, because
Speaker 1: what happens with people is they say, I have a
Speaker 1: great idea, but I'm not ready yet. I need to
Speaker 1: find the financing, I need to find the help. And
Speaker 1: I always tell people your go before you think you're ready,
Speaker 1: because you're going to learn a lot more when you
Speaker 1: try something, you're gonna find, like we talked about the
Speaker 1: death ground strategy, when it's either get this thing off
Speaker 1: the ground or you're gonna lose a lot of money,
Speaker 1: you'll find a whole other level of energy to you.
Speaker 1: But I think all of us can learn to be
Speaker 1: self reliant. We just have to deal with that first
Speaker 1: initial fear of failure, of being on our own, etc.
Speaker 1: And that's sort of what the fiftieth law was about.
Speaker 1: All right, well, ole move, We got more with Robert
Speaker 1: Green when we come back is the Breakfast Club Good
Speaker 1: Morning's DJ Envy Angela Yee Schal. Imagine the guy we
Speaker 1: ought to Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Robert Green, Chalomagne.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people nowadays, you know, to
Speaker 1: go back to the forty law of party. They stir
Speaker 1: up water to catch fish, right, but we call them
Speaker 1: trolls now Oh God, is the prize worth it for
Speaker 1: a troll to stir shop just because? Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's that's what I talked about when I was
Speaker 1: mentioned the dark side of human nature, you know, so
Speaker 1: normally the reason what I talked where the dark side
Speaker 1: comes out from is when you were a kid, you
Speaker 1: were kind of this complete person you had. You had
Speaker 1: an aggressive side, you had a kind side. You would
Speaker 1: pull your sister's hair, you would tease her, you would
Speaker 1: do all kinds of mean things were like I did
Speaker 1: to my sister, and then you could be kind and sweet,
Speaker 1: and slowly over the years it's kind of pounded out
Speaker 1: of you. You have to be a good person. You
Speaker 1: have to be nice, you have to be polite, you
Speaker 1: have to hide all of those dark that dark energy
Speaker 1: that you felt when you were a child, and then
Speaker 1: you get older and you want to act out on it. Well,
Speaker 1: some people have that more than others. They never quite
Speaker 1: grew up. They felt like that kind of repressing that
Speaker 1: dark side was they lost something very valuable about themselves.
Speaker 1: They're yearning to let it out, and so trolling is
Speaker 1: the absolute best way at it, you know, and social
Speaker 1: media is like the perfect instrument for being a troll.
Speaker 1: You know, you can say the worst possible things and
Speaker 1: get under people's skin. And all. We're all volatile, we're
Speaker 1: all emotional. I've dealt with it myself. When I had
Speaker 1: laws of human nature out, I would posting things out
Speaker 1: on Facebook, and these really bitgy, mead spirited people would
Speaker 1: come out of the woodwork and would post the stupidest comments.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can withstand people being malicious and all that,
Speaker 1: but I can't stand stupidity where they actually think they're
Speaker 1: smart and they have some kind of counter argument to
Speaker 1: a book I spent five years researching, and they in
Speaker 1: their little apartment on their computer, who's maybe spent two
Speaker 1: hours thinking about it. They know more than me. You know,
Speaker 1: it really gets you angry. But I found you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to deal How do you deal with
Speaker 1: the troll The best way to deal with them is
Speaker 1: to ignore them. Don't feed the trolls, as we say,
Speaker 1: you know, and we all dealt with it with Trump,
Speaker 1: to be honest with I don't want to get too political,
Speaker 1: but here, but he was like the troller in chief,
Speaker 1: the president troll of our country, and he knew how
Speaker 1: to get under everybody's skin and rile them up. And
Speaker 1: I've spent four years getting continually riled up by his
Speaker 1: trolling maneuvers, and it's a great relief to not to
Speaker 1: have that anymore. But you have to when you're dealing
Speaker 1: with a troll, you have to control yourself because their
Speaker 1: power lies in getting you angry and upset. And if
Speaker 1: you refuse to get angry and upset, if you refuse
Speaker 1: to take debit and respond to them, then they feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, then they feel challenged, they feel like they
Speaker 1: had they didn't win. So that's the best response to
Speaker 1: a troll, you know. And in light of the me
Speaker 1: too movement? Right, do you regret anything you wrote in
Speaker 1: the Artist Abduction? Because you even refer to targets that
Speaker 1: subduction as prey choose the write victim. Would you change
Speaker 1: any of that now? I think I would. I think
Speaker 1: I would. I wouldn't shoot change the gist of the book,
Speaker 1: but I would. It's interesting because I've been having this
Speaker 1: discussion with a few people who've been interviewing me lately,
Speaker 1: some feminists, etc. And yes, I would change the word victim.
Speaker 1: I think that's inappropriate, and I would maybe change some
Speaker 1: of the press it or pray stuff, and I think that,
Speaker 1: you know, we live in kind of slightly puritanical times,
Speaker 1: I believe, No, yeah, puritanical now. I like that because
Speaker 1: me and my homeboy Van, we always talk about, you know,
Speaker 1: there's there's these purity tests that you just won't be
Speaker 1: able to pass. Ever, but for whatever reason, we live
Speaker 1: in an era where everything has to be pure. That's impossible. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like everyone has to you know, virtue signaling.
Speaker 1: They have to show how they're they're the most woke
Speaker 1: person that they have the most virtuous out there. And
Speaker 1: so I don't want to totally get rid of that
Speaker 1: edge to it. You know, I don't want to feel
Speaker 1: live in a world where everybody in culture, rap artists, filmmakers,
Speaker 1: feel like they always have to tow a line. They
Speaker 1: can't say or do something. We can't be honest anymore
Speaker 1: about ourselves, about who we are, about human nature. We
Speaker 1: are not angels, right, We are descended from primates, not angels,
Speaker 1: and we have to come to terms with that. And
Speaker 1: so I'm afraid that we're entering a period where people
Speaker 1: are afraid to say their emotions or to express what's
Speaker 1: really going on inside of their censoring themselves, right, And
Speaker 1: I know you say that that is again fear right,
Speaker 1: because you're not able to just sometimes go right into
Speaker 1: the fire and be who you are because you're always
Speaker 1: concerned about what other people might think about you, what
Speaker 1: might happen to you as a result or something that
Speaker 1: you say. Well, I mean, look at the consequences. Now,
Speaker 1: you say one wrong thing and your band from some
Speaker 1: platform or nobody, your boycotted on some level. So the
Speaker 1: fear there is real. You know, if I suddenly said
Speaker 1: something so controversial on this show, I won't do it
Speaker 1: where people are so up in arms they start saying,
Speaker 1: Robert Green is evil, He's the devil. We can't We're
Speaker 1: going to burn the forty eight laws of power. You know,
Speaker 1: I'd suffer very strong financial consequences. That doesn't happen if
Speaker 1: he said it doesn't I mean he said I feel
Speaker 1: like he says whatever's on his mind and it could
Speaker 1: be controversial and it's still booming. Yeah, I mean, he
Speaker 1: he lives off that. That's how he gets publicity, you know.
Speaker 1: But he doesn't matter, does he ever? Do you ever
Speaker 1: get the impression that he kind of goes over the
Speaker 1: line that he says something that's that's that offensive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but but I mean I get it though you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I understand it. So it's like when
Speaker 1: I put it like this, when he said certain things,
Speaker 1: it's not that it goes over the line with me,
Speaker 1: but I know that it'll go over the line with
Speaker 1: some people. But you know, he's he's an anomaly. It's like,
Speaker 1: I feel like if somebody else said some of the
Speaker 1: things that he said, it would be way worse than
Speaker 1: anything that would happen to him. For some reason, he's
Speaker 1: mass I don't know if it's because he's been working
Speaker 1: with you, but he's master something strategies where he's able
Speaker 1: to just yeah, it's it's amazing to me. I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I can't believe if he said that,
Speaker 1: and then it's fine. Well, part of it's his personality.
Speaker 1: He's very charismatic, he's very charming, he's kind of sweet.
Speaker 1: He's got a very good sense of humor. Now I
Speaker 1: only got two more questions. I want to talk to
Speaker 1: you about meditation, because you know that's something a good
Speaker 1: friend of mine named named Debbie Brown is trying to
Speaker 1: get have been trying to get me to add to
Speaker 1: my mind fulness repertoire forever. And I started doing it
Speaker 1: over New Year's Eve. Ye New Year's congratulations. Oh man,
Speaker 1: I love it like it's amazing for me. What does
Speaker 1: your meditation practice look like. Well, I do a form
Speaker 1: of zen meditation, which is a bit difficult. I've been
Speaker 1: doing it for close to eleven years now, and I
Speaker 1: do it forty minutes after as soon as I wake up.
Speaker 1: And I turned it into a little ritual because I
Speaker 1: like rituals as a writer. It's kind of how you live.
Speaker 1: And then for forty minutes, and forty minutes is a
Speaker 1: pretty long time, I try and completely empty my mind,
Speaker 1: no thoughts, nothing going on. I can honestly say that
Speaker 1: meditation is saved my life. I don't think I would
Speaker 1: be here without it. Wow. And in this world today,
Speaker 1: with so many distractions, with so many things in our face,
Speaker 1: you've got people have to meditate it. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you can, it's it's it's it's it's life saving, it's
Speaker 1: it's the most important thing for you. My last question,
Speaker 1: do you think we'll ever have a true understanding of
Speaker 1: power and human nature? Well, it depends. I mean probably not.
Speaker 1: Because I told people the first law of human nature
Speaker 1: is that we deny that we have human nature. We
Speaker 1: don't want to admit it. We don't want to admit
Speaker 1: that we can be irrational or aggressive or grandiose or
Speaker 1: field envy, or that we have a dark side, on
Speaker 1: and on and on. It's always the other person. Power
Speaker 1: is a dirty little secret in our culture. People will
Speaker 1: talk about their sex lives, they'll talk about whatever it is,
Speaker 1: they'll reveal everything going on, what they had for breakfast, etc.
Speaker 1: But nobody will ever talk about the power, the power
Speaker 1: moves they did to get ahead in life. And we
Speaker 1: all have done them right, We've all been manipulative in
Speaker 1: some way to get to the top. If we got
Speaker 1: to the top. So there's a lack of honesty about
Speaker 1: who we are and about our desire for power and
Speaker 1: the things we do for power. And I don't think
Speaker 1: that's getting any better. You know, maybe in two hundred
Speaker 1: years a ray of light, well it will hit earth
Speaker 1: and people will will change and they'll suddenly be more
Speaker 1: self aware, and that would be a wonderful thing, but
Speaker 1: I wouldn't bet on it. Wow, well man, thank you, Robert,
Speaker 1: you know, thank you for all your literature, all information
Speaker 1: you've given us over the years, the conversation you create.
Speaker 1: Thank you for Ryan Holiday, who's also become one of
Speaker 1: my favorite authors. And I can't well. I have a
Speaker 1: book coming out that Ryan has helped me with in
Speaker 1: the fall. It's you know, Ryan's Daily Stoic. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: read it every morning. All right. I'm coming out with
Speaker 1: my own version called The Daily Laws. It'll be out
Speaker 1: in September. Inspired that very similar to that. Wow, just
Speaker 1: finishing that up right now, Robert, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Can't wait for that. That that Daily PowerBook and Daily
Speaker 1: Law Book in September. Okay, all right, all right, Faith,
Speaker 1: She's filling the team. This is the Rumor Report with
Speaker 1: Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Demi Levado's movie,
Speaker 1: Demi Levado Dancing with the Devil. It's a four part
Speaker 1: documentary that premier is today actually on YouTube Originals. Reveals
Speaker 1: a lot and in this documentaries she talks about dealing
Speaker 1: with her addiction and also a nearly fatal overdose in
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Here is the trailer. I crossed a line
Speaker 1: that I had never crossed. Are we talking about heroin?
Speaker 1: Are we doing that? Is a lot? People are gasping
Speaker 1: action levels or dangerously well, what you mean watching all
Speaker 1: of her blood out of her body into a machine.
Speaker 1: She's like, I can't I can't see I can't see him.
Speaker 1: I had three strokes, I had a heart attack. My
Speaker 1: doctors said that I had five to ten more minutes
Speaker 1: that could top and said, yeah, you could be. You
Speaker 1: know a lot of people can be a function to heroin.
Speaker 1: And never you ain't gonna never get off, doctor Carl Hard.
Speaker 1: This lady, this lady heroin had strokes and heart attacks,
Speaker 1: had to take the blood out of her system. And
Speaker 1: she's rich, and she's rich, Doctor Carl Hart would say
Speaker 1: that she should be able to test her drugs right
Speaker 1: to see what's in it right, because if she probably
Speaker 1: took something that had other things in it other than pure,
Speaker 1: well she did, she said she, She said she had
Speaker 1: that night done meth and she had never done it before,
Speaker 1: and she makes it with ecstasy, coke weed, alcohol, and oxycotton.
Speaker 1: So that was the night of the first relapse when yes,
Speaker 1: all of that happened. So it feels like he and
Speaker 1: he also did say mixing all these drugs together is
Speaker 1: normally what leads to people overdosing, and she could have
Speaker 1: died from that. She said she has brain damage that
Speaker 1: she still deals with the effect of that today. She said,
Speaker 1: I don't drive a car because I have blind spots
Speaker 1: in my vision. She said she had a really hard
Speaker 1: time reading for a long time, and it was a
Speaker 1: big deal when she was able to read a book
Speaker 1: because her vision was so blurry from that. So you
Speaker 1: can start watching that docuseries. She also said that it
Speaker 1: was an untreated eating disorder that led to her relapse.
Speaker 1: She read a magazine that said she was morbidly obese,
Speaker 1: and the body shaming is actually what led to her relapse.
Speaker 1: I know these three words it easier said than done,
Speaker 1: and they sound cliche, and I don't necessarily agree with
Speaker 1: the reagans at all, but damn just saying no, bro,
Speaker 1: it's just easier to keep people from even getting into
Speaker 1: that world is trying to figure out the right way
Speaker 1: to do the wrong thing, and also body shaming and
Speaker 1: all of that just She said she had to stop
Speaker 1: a read articles about herself and that also helped her
Speaker 1: because people were talking about her, and you know, that's
Speaker 1: not easy to deal with either when you're in the
Speaker 1: public spotlight. She's been working since she was ten years old.
Speaker 1: All right, now, comedian Garry owens estranged wife Kenya Duke
Speaker 1: has gone on social media. Now she posted something and
Speaker 1: we don't know what's going on here, but somehow Claudia
Speaker 1: Jordan and a mystery friend, a mystery woman is involved.
Speaker 1: She posted, I have all your info. I'm going to
Speaker 1: deal with you in a minute. I'm a little busy. Now.
Speaker 1: You can have him, but you can't disrespect me and
Speaker 1: my kids in the process. She told Owen let her
Speaker 1: know a storm is coming, and then she put in
Speaker 1: the caption tried to be quiet out of respect for
Speaker 1: my kids, but Claudia Jordan has me on one this morning,
Speaker 1: twenty three years together. Gary didn't have ish but a
Speaker 1: raggedy pickup, in good credit and no place to live.
Speaker 1: And then she posted you're old as should no better married,
Speaker 1: not separated married, And then she posted to at Gary
Speaker 1: Owen Comedy, all the energy you spent lying, acting and
Speaker 1: creating a fake narrative for these bitches that want to
Speaker 1: be me, you could have done it with a veggie
Speaker 1: burger and a glass of fake filtered water. Then she
Speaker 1: said white women are not involved. Hashtag not Claudia. Hashtag
Speaker 1: Claudia's friend hashtag dragging me back to ninety eight MacArthur Street. Mindset.
Speaker 1: What the hell are y'all talking about this morning? I
Speaker 1: don't know, and guess what neither this Claudia Jordan. Here's
Speaker 1: what she had to say. I guess the story is
Speaker 1: that I somehow that he cheated and the woman is
Speaker 1: my friend. First of all, in my twenty years of
Speaker 1: knowing him, not one of my friends have ever told
Speaker 1: me or have ever implied that they have messed with
Speaker 1: this man. And also know, as adults, sometimes people break up, y'all,
Speaker 1: and it's not as scandals as you wanted to be.
Speaker 1: It's none of our business. But all I came out
Speaker 1: here to tell y'all is that I have absolutely nothing
Speaker 1: to do with it. I do not have a friend
Speaker 1: in Dallas or anywhere else that is this man's mistress.
Speaker 1: I don't know if any woman that's his mistress. I
Speaker 1: do not know what the hell y'all talking about. One
Speaker 1: thing she said that is very true, It is none
Speaker 1: of our business. But the problem is all of this
Speaker 1: stuff plays out on social media. So when it plays
Speaker 1: out on social media, people think it becomes their business
Speaker 1: because now they feel like they have to have an
Speaker 1: opinion about it, and I wish none of social media.
Speaker 1: When I saw this, I went right to Claudia's page
Speaker 1: to see if she had responded to it, and I
Speaker 1: saw she was on a flight and her comments. People
Speaker 1: were going at her, and she was like, what are
Speaker 1: y'all talking about? What? I'm on the flight right now.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening. So she said, a raggedy
Speaker 1: ass pickup truck, bad jokes and good credit. What did
Speaker 1: she say? You're just doing the bad job. I think
Speaker 1: the bad jokes, jokes you pick up and good credit
Speaker 1: and no place to live about bad jokes for no reason.
Speaker 1: I want you to heat. I was asking the question
Speaker 1: when you get out of no phone call, whatever it is,
Speaker 1: I mean, Gary, I want you to heat. Vy's asks,
Speaker 1: are you just gonna throw bad jokes? I didn't mean
Speaker 1: to throw bad jokes, I asked, I don't know what
Speaker 1: a veggie burger has to do with it. That's I
Speaker 1: actually just bad random stuff. I was just asking what
Speaker 1: it was, that's all. I was. Nothing to play out
Speaker 1: on social media. I really don't play out regardless, yet.
Speaker 1: I hope they work things out. Man. Gary's a good dude. No,
Speaker 1: don't try to throw that on him now if you
Speaker 1: said that, man, I'm just asking a question. Gary is
Speaker 1: a funny dude. He just asked up. Gary, I asked
Speaker 1: what she said. He ain't here dressed like one of
Speaker 1: the pink ladies from Greece this morning, looking like Frenchy,
Speaker 1: looking like he did duty, and he got the nerve
Speaker 1: to talk about you jump on his asks when you
Speaker 1: get a chance. He joined the pink ladies, talking real
Speaker 1: tough talking, Hugh. He got a little gang now because
Speaker 1: it famin Frenchy and Sandy. And I don't even know
Speaker 1: who those women are. You know who the pink I
Speaker 1: don't know who to pick like you don't know whoever
Speaker 1: they are. I don't know. I got my pink stock
Speaker 1: and Sandy and it's Frenchy and its envy like the
Speaker 1: golden girls. That's right, y'all, are put your little jackets
Speaker 1: jacket back on? You know what? Who are you giving
Speaker 1: your donkeys? Where I put my jacket back on. Let's
Speaker 1: talk Christian sex for after the hour. I'm not putting

Speaker 1: Many wait for Charlemagne to top these gloves. Had to
Speaker 1: make a judgment who was going to be on the
Speaker 1: donkey of the day. They chose you, chose you? You Yeah,
Speaker 1: talk you today for Tuesday, March twenty third goes to
Speaker 1: a former Louisiana priest named Travis Clark. Travis Clark is
Speaker 1: thirty seven years old and he's a former priest. Did
Speaker 1: I say that already? Yes? I did. But he is
Speaker 1: a former priest. I'm saying that for a third time.
Speaker 1: Why is he a former priest saying it for a
Speaker 1: fourth time. Well, he's a former priest saying it for
Speaker 1: a fifth time because he wasn't practicing what he was preaching. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of that going around nowadays, and I
Speaker 1: don't know how y'all live that way. Okay, I'm doing
Speaker 1: my own head about everything to live that way. That's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I'm in therapy every week. That's
Speaker 1: why I meditate the way my anxiety is set up.
Speaker 1: I'm always questioning everything. Okay, anxiety be like, okay, but
Speaker 1: what if I'd be like, I got this, leave me alone.
Speaker 1: We've gone over this one hundred times already and we
Speaker 1: totally resolved it. Did anxiety be like, yeah, but I've
Speaker 1: looked at it from a new angle, and there's like
Speaker 1: twenty more reasons why you should be worried about it
Speaker 1: than me. I just sit there and then I tell anxiety,
Speaker 1: go on, continue, tell me more. And this is why
Speaker 1: I could never just lie to people. And I'm a
Speaker 1: human who loves to lie for no reason. But I
Speaker 1: tell the kind of lies that you will hear and
Speaker 1: shay to yourself. I know he's lying, but you have
Speaker 1: to see for yourself. And when you find out I'm lying,
Speaker 1: you're not really mad because you knew I was lying
Speaker 1: to begin with. For example, last week, I told Envy
Speaker 1: that Security was dealing with a guy downstairs who refused
Speaker 1: to leave until he got a kiss from our pink
Speaker 1: power ranger DJ Envy. Now, Envy, did you believe me
Speaker 1: when I told you that? Yes? No, you didn't. You did? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I caused the cur to securities like, what the hell
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Why would you believe that? Though?
Speaker 1: That's you? But see that that's my point. You know
Speaker 1: it's me. You know I'm lying. I'm saying all that
Speaker 1: to say, I'm just not built to lie to the masses. Okay,
Speaker 1: just Envy, all right, I'm not I'm not built to
Speaker 1: lie to the masses. Okay. Pastors, relationship coaches, spiritual gurus,
Speaker 1: all these people who need these colt like followings to
Speaker 1: make a living, to make a dollar, manipulating folks pretending
Speaker 1: to be something they are not know Okay, but it's
Speaker 1: not gonna stop anytime soon, because this online era we
Speaker 1: live in really rewards people for performing. Everybody is an avatar.
Speaker 1: They log online and become people they are not in
Speaker 1: real life. But one thing about those performances, though, the
Speaker 1: curtain will always fall. Yes, when you are performing and
Speaker 1: not truly being who you are, not being authentic, the
Speaker 1: curtain will eventually fall and this show will be over.
Speaker 1: That's why Travis Clark is a farmer priest, Ladies and Ghettlement.
Speaker 1: He's a farmer priest because his idea of the Trinity
Speaker 1: is different than the idea of the Trinity that most
Speaker 1: religious folks know. Christians in particular, they know the Trinity
Speaker 1: as the unity of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: The Godhead is what I think they call it, the Godhead. Now,
Speaker 1: Travis Clark believe in the Trinity is being one Dominatrix.
Speaker 1: Am I pronouncing that right? Yea dominatrix? Yes? That so, Yes,
Speaker 1: Travis Clark believes in the Trinity is being one dominatrix,
Speaker 1: two dominatrixes and him. Okay, I don't know what kind
Speaker 1: of head you what, I'm sure someone's involved. Would you
Speaker 1: like to know the full story? Let's go to wwltvcbs
Speaker 1: fall for the report. Police. By now you've likely heard
Speaker 1: about the burning of an altar at a Pearl River church.
Speaker 1: Investigator David Hammer brought you the story this week about
Speaker 1: Father Travis Clark and his sexual misconduct inside Saints Peter
Speaker 1: and Paul Church and Pearl River. Now, according to documents,
Speaker 1: a passer by spotted father Travis Clark halfneck at having
Speaker 1: relations on the the women, Melissa Chang and Mindy Dixon
Speaker 1: were dressed in corsettes and high healed boots, and in
Speaker 1: those documents that were adult toys, stage lighting and a
Speaker 1: mobile phone as well as a separate camera recording it all.
Speaker 1: Father Travis Clark, you in the church on the all
Speaker 1: to having sex using holy water is lou b listen, man,
Speaker 1: the flesh is weak. We all fall short. I'm sure
Speaker 1: Travis Clark has preached against this kind of behavior, but
Speaker 1: this is when the narcissism comes into place. This is
Speaker 1: when the ego takes over. It's one thing to fall
Speaker 1: short and have sex, Okay, you human, father calrk. I
Speaker 1: get it, you made a mistake. But to have sex
Speaker 1: in the church a top of church, alto, that's like
Speaker 1: sleeping with another woman in your house, in the bed
Speaker 1: you share with your wife. When you, as a priest
Speaker 1: move like that, you don't care about the church, the congregation, yourself,
Speaker 1: and you can't truly care about God or his raf either. Now.
Speaker 1: I was reading up on Christian sex life this morning,
Speaker 1: and it's a website called Bible Reasons, and it says
Speaker 1: Christian sex life is amazing. Sex within marriage is a
Speaker 1: blessing from God, and married couples were free to do
Speaker 1: any sexual position they want, whether you want to do
Speaker 1: missionary or something else. Sex within marriage is God's gift
Speaker 1: to us, or you're free to do whatever between the
Speaker 1: two of you. Only we are not to have threesomes
Speaker 1: and sex with multiple people, nor are we allowed to
Speaker 1: bring pornography in the bedroom. So, Father Clark, you did
Speaker 1: a threesome and the church on the church altar with
Speaker 1: two women. You're not married to, Father Clock. You're going
Speaker 1: to hell. Those are the rules. Okay? Are those still
Speaker 1: the rules? He'll still exists, right, Okay, do not pass, go,
Speaker 1: do not collect two hundred, Go to Hell, Father Clark. Okay,
Speaker 1: you could have been on Christian mingle finding a wife
Speaker 1: so you could have nice, guilt free marriage, sinless sex.
Speaker 1: But no, you want to have threesomes on the church altar.
Speaker 1: Now you gotta go to hell. Okay, I think God
Speaker 1: would have forgiven you if you would have did this
Speaker 1: in the hotel, But on the church altar, the church altar, Nope,
Speaker 1: you gotta burn. Okay, please, and the name of God,
Speaker 1: Jesus and the Holy Ghost. Let Rimymond give Father Travis
Speaker 1: Clark the biggest he ha he ha he ha, you
Speaker 1: stupid mother? Are you dumb? They had to set the
Speaker 1: whole church altar on fire because of Father Clock Judea
Speaker 1: the World's most Dangerous morning show. Morning Everybody is tej Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: We got a special guest joining us this morning, Cynthia Arrival. Welcome,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Hello, good morning, Cynthia. How are
Speaker 1: you got? Good? Thank you? How you doing? I'm blessed
Speaker 1: Black and hally Fame. Well, obviously we're here to talk
Speaker 1: about the genius Aretha series that you're starring in as Aretha.
Speaker 1: So were you a huge fan of everything? Because I
Speaker 1: know you're already a singer and a songwriter. What was
Speaker 1: your connection before the series? Yeah, I was a big fan.
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan. I started listening to her maybe
Speaker 1: when I was about nine, and I fell in love
Speaker 1: with how she communicated through her music, how she was
Speaker 1: able to commit a feeling, an emotion, a circumstance through song.
Speaker 1: And I was learning through her how to do that
Speaker 1: for myself. So how did this role? How did this
Speaker 1: role come about. I was on the red carpet at
Speaker 1: the Tony's and I was asked by Mark A Variety
Speaker 1: to sing my favorite song or like my guilty pleasure song,
Speaker 1: and Ain't No Way was one of my songs. And
Speaker 1: in fact, he didn't ask me to sing, He just
Speaker 1: asked me what it was. And then when I told
Speaker 1: him what it was, he sort of gave the notework.
Speaker 1: Sing some of it please, So I sung a bit
Speaker 1: of the song and that went back to Brian Grazer
Speaker 1: and Clyde Davis, and then I got a message saying
Speaker 1: that they had heard me sing this on the red
Speaker 1: carpet and that they wanted me to come in and
Speaker 1: talk about playing the role. Cynthia's the most important thing
Speaker 1: when it comes to playing these roles, because the first
Speaker 1: thing I think is when I see it, I say,
Speaker 1: like a river, Franklin. So what's the most important thing?
Speaker 1: I think The most important thing is whether or not
Speaker 1: you can find the essence of that person, because it's
Speaker 1: one thing to mimic a person, but that's not what
Speaker 1: I am. I'm I'm not a mimic. I can't do that.
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm not. An impressionist and if that's
Speaker 1: all I was, the rest of the story couldn't be told.
Speaker 1: So I guess it's wanting to tell the story as
Speaker 1: fully as possible. It's one to find out what the
Speaker 1: essence of her was. It is finding out what her
Speaker 1: music did and how her music was song and met
Speaker 1: the method that she was singing in, the technique she had,
Speaker 1: and it's the I think the want of everyone around
Speaker 1: me as well to want to tell it, just the
Speaker 1: same as Dinah Russ did for Lady Day. She looked,
Speaker 1: but she had her essence down to her. Tea was
Speaker 1: really special. So we able to speak with the family
Speaker 1: before doing this and maybe get some insight about her
Speaker 1: life and anything like that. I was able to speak
Speaker 1: to her family, but I'm lucky enough to know a
Speaker 1: lot of people who were very close to her, so
Speaker 1: I spoke to a lot of those people. Had a
Speaker 1: conversation with Miss Felicia Richard as well about Everytha and
Speaker 1: Lynda's herman actual spoke to us about their relationship and
Speaker 1: how he felt about her, and that was a wonderful
Speaker 1: thing to find out too. Yeah, it was difficult, I
Speaker 1: think for you to be in this position right where
Speaker 1: you want to play this iconic role. But then there
Speaker 1: was so much controversy with the family and everything as
Speaker 1: whether or not they wanted this to even have been
Speaker 1: So how did that play into your decision? The thing
Speaker 1: is I didn't know about what was happening with the
Speaker 1: family prior to this. All of this is sort of
Speaker 1: like coming out in the wash now. So for me,
Speaker 1: I had already believed that everyone had the information and
Speaker 1: the promotions that they needed, and as far as I knew,
Speaker 1: they were already speaking to the estate that had already
Speaker 1: allowed for this to happen. So my job was just
Speaker 1: to play the Queen of Soul as fully and as
Speaker 1: truthfully as I possibly could. Yeah, and it's heartbreaking because
Speaker 1: for me, I love her. I would never do anything
Speaker 1: that causes any harm to her. I would never do
Speaker 1: anything that doesn't show her in the light that she's
Speaker 1: meant to be shown. The woman had an incredible life
Speaker 1: and incredible career and had to work through some really
Speaker 1: tough things, And I think that the thing that we
Speaker 1: get to show with this is how much she had
Speaker 1: to work to get to where she was and how
Speaker 1: difficult it was at the time that she was living
Speaker 1: through to get to the thing that we know now,
Speaker 1: which for me makes her even more of a hero
Speaker 1: than we realized. Did you have any reservations the player's
Speaker 1: role because of the respect movie that's coming out Lady
Speaker 1: this year? With me, I think that the more the merrier.
Speaker 1: I think there's a strange understanding that we can only
Speaker 1: have one. But we have many Marilyn Monroe films, many
Speaker 1: Judie Garland films, many presidents films of who which name
Speaker 1: the President? And we have more than one. And I
Speaker 1: thought that what a wonderful way. I knew that she
Speaker 1: would get her wish with Jennifer Hudson and she would
Speaker 1: get an extra with my version. So you were singing
Speaker 1: for real in this series. Yeah, that's a lot of
Speaker 1: pariasure too, to be singing these areta signs because you know,
Speaker 1: everybody's like, okay, but you did amazing, Thank you very much,
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah. I've been singing her songs for a
Speaker 1: long time now. She's too, I learned from so I
Speaker 1: was really excited to learn the intricacies of the decision
Speaker 1: she would make it in a song. No one song
Speaker 1: is the same. She has her own very special way
Speaker 1: of singing everything, and one song can be sung in
Speaker 1: three different ways. If you if you listen to different
Speaker 1: versions by Aretha, and I took the time every song
Speaker 1: that we had an hour or an hour or two
Speaker 1: to work through every single one to make sure that
Speaker 1: I could get the small bits and pieces, the small
Speaker 1: details that she would happen the songs. Yeah, would you
Speaker 1: sing though? Right? Do I do? I do sing? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You got an album coming out this songer? Right I do? Yes?
Speaker 1: Who you sign? Would verb universal? Yeah? Okay, so you're
Speaker 1: doing a lot. You got an album during this pandemic,
Speaker 1: You're acting during this pandemic. You're doing a lot. You
Speaker 1: making sure your time is if you're doing your time
Speaker 1: the right way. I was recording it whilst I was
Speaker 1: doing so we would finish in the week and I
Speaker 1: would have to go and vocal everything after on the weekend,
Speaker 1: so we get the week was full of Aretha. The
Speaker 1: weekend was full of me singing. How do you dump that? Though?
Speaker 1: I mean you you you're channeling like this great diva
Speaker 1: during the week, Like, how do you put that to
Speaker 1: the side to focus on the energy you want to
Speaker 1: put out in your music? I don't know that you
Speaker 1: can completely you put it aside. I think that you
Speaker 1: know why, you kind of have to you have to
Speaker 1: use it. I guess I was using the inspiration that
Speaker 1: I was getting from from doing this show at the
Speaker 1: same time, the details that she would have, the detail
Speaker 1: oriented where she would use her music, the style, and
Speaker 1: I know who I am individually, but there's a there's
Speaker 1: a real passion in in a read that I sort
Speaker 1: of I already heard but was amplified because I got
Speaker 1: to play her. So I kind of used it. I
Speaker 1: guess it's a great thing to be able to use
Speaker 1: that kind of energy to perform. You sort of get
Speaker 1: fired up. Really yeah, just even for yourself, right and
Speaker 1: preparing for this role. And did you know a lot
Speaker 1: of things about a Reatha or did you learn a
Speaker 1: lot while doing this? Because I was watching it and
Speaker 1: I love a Retha Franklin. I was when her house
Speaker 1: was for sale and Detroit, I was like, I had
Speaker 1: this big road in the middle of the carpet. I
Speaker 1: was like, man, I wish I could buy this to
Speaker 1: read the house. That's like a monumental thing. But even
Speaker 1: when you're watching the first couple of episodes, you're you're
Speaker 1: learning a lot about her childhood and how crazy it
Speaker 1: was yeah, I knew. I knew some things and I
Speaker 1: learned some things, you know. I think it's an incredible
Speaker 1: feat to be able to be who she was after
Speaker 1: being a mother at such an early age. And I
Speaker 1: knew it, but when you're working through it and you
Speaker 1: and you're putting it in context, it becomes even more amplified.
Speaker 1: That this woman had to be a mother and a
Speaker 1: young woman before she was even ready to, but still
Speaker 1: was able to work through that and become Aretha Franklin
Speaker 1: that we know and love. I didn't know how deeply
Speaker 1: she was working with the civil rights movement. I didn't
Speaker 1: know that she had a relationship with Martin close friends.
Speaker 1: That was an eye opening moment for me, and I
Speaker 1: think it was the first time that I was able
Speaker 1: to put into context the fact that she that her Young,
Speaker 1: Gifted and Black album was because of that, that she
Speaker 1: had made a decision to make an album that spoke
Speaker 1: to the times that they were living through that she
Speaker 1: was living through. We have more with Cynthia Arriva when
Speaker 1: we come back. Doble was the Breakfast Good Morning, j Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the Guy We Are the Breakfast Club
Speaker 1: were still kicking it with Cynthia Arrivo Charlomagne. What energy
Speaker 1: have you channeled with for Rifa and Harriet for that matter,
Speaker 1: that was hard to get rid of. Harriet was something
Speaker 1: to Harriet was traumatic, I would assume, Yeah, I had.
Speaker 1: I had a had a little mini breakdown after Harriet
Speaker 1: because it was just tough to get rid of all
Speaker 1: of the loss because as she was saving people, she
Speaker 1: was losing a lot of her family at the same time.
Speaker 1: And she was she had lost her husband, she had
Speaker 1: lost her sisters. She saved her family, but I think
Speaker 1: she almost lost her brothers. So for that I it
Speaker 1: was like this energy of loss. But there's both both
Speaker 1: of these women have us an amazing amount of bravery.
Speaker 1: So there's this courage that I think have picked up
Speaker 1: from both of these women. Yeah, we saw we saw
Speaker 1: the Keith Stanfield saying that he had to, you know,
Speaker 1: go to therapy after playing a role like William O'Neil.
Speaker 1: Did you have to do that after playing a role
Speaker 1: like her? Yes, still go to therapy for it. It's
Speaker 1: a lot. It was a lot too physically and mentally.
Speaker 1: Both those things combined were put through their paces. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not like occasionally, you know, I thought she's gone,
Speaker 1: but even when I speak about it, it's still like
Speaker 1: gets me. Yeah, you know, it's an eight prior miniseries,
Speaker 1: so we've only seen the first couple of episodes so far.
Speaker 1: But what it is hard to watch it's like a
Speaker 1: complex relationship that Aretha has with her father, right, So
Speaker 1: can you speak on that and how you kind of
Speaker 1: delved into that when you were doing this role. But
Speaker 1: he had a complex relation. I think she had a
Speaker 1: lot of complex relationships, and this one was significant because
Speaker 1: partially it's the reason why we have her. He you know,
Speaker 1: had her out with him at a really early age,
Speaker 1: and she was listened to by a lot of people,
Speaker 1: and she was singing at a very early age. And
Speaker 1: I think that she loved him deep deeply, was very
Speaker 1: afraid to let him go when he was when he
Speaker 1: was dying, and still partially was that little girl who
Speaker 1: was afraid to be without her father. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, it was just she was an adult before
Speaker 1: she was ready to be. And so if there was
Speaker 1: this strange relationship of how do you compartmentalize and how
Speaker 1: do you work out how to keep this child a
Speaker 1: child whilst she's also a mother that that happened very quickly,
Speaker 1: and so I think that it never really balanced itself,
Speaker 1: to be honest. Yeah, that can be triggering too though, right, Cynthia,
Speaker 1: if you don't have a strong relationship with your father
Speaker 1: and you got to play that role, right, because I
Speaker 1: think a lot of times, for a lot of us,
Speaker 1: relationships were fathers sometimes are complicated because they feel more
Speaker 1: transactional than nurturing and loving like mothers. Yeah, for me,
Speaker 1: that's that's very true. I don't have a relationship with
Speaker 1: my father at all. I think the last time I
Speaker 1: spoke to him I was sixteen. Yeah. Yeah, this role
Speaker 1: hit a little different for you. Huh oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And you have your own production company as well, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's called Edith's Daughter, And we are trying to make
Speaker 1: sure we show projects about women like myself and yourself
Speaker 1: in spaces that we never get to see that we
Speaker 1: exist in already, but they're very rarely shown to the world. So,
Speaker 1: whether it be Sarah Forbes, Vanetta who was essentially a
Speaker 1: princess in the UK but was basically erase from history,
Speaker 1: or a wonderful woman called Loadonna who happened to be
Speaker 1: a security guard at JFK, and often they're the most
Speaker 1: underrepresented people in the space, but they're actually doing the
Speaker 1: hardest work and I'm always looking for those people. There's
Speaker 1: everything from hopefully espionage to historical drama. You know you're cynthy.
Speaker 1: There's always criticism about non black Americans playing all the
Speaker 1: roles of Black American icons. I feel like that Carbo
Speaker 1: might have started with you when you played Harriet. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure, but what do you say about that? I
Speaker 1: don't think it started with me. May have started with
Speaker 1: David maybe, but it definitely continued with me. What do
Speaker 1: you say about that? I say that we're still in
Speaker 1: a space of lack, and so what happens has become
Speaker 1: at these roles as though that they're as though they
Speaker 1: are the very last time it can be played or seen,
Speaker 1: which is just not the case. And I hope that
Speaker 1: my playing something doesn't mean that someone else can't play
Speaker 1: this role, and that British Black actors are our actors
Speaker 1: first and foremost. Our job is to tell the story
Speaker 1: as truthfully as we possibly can. And I know that
Speaker 1: I didn't get into this career to play myself. I
Speaker 1: do that very well already, but that's that's not my passion.
Speaker 1: My passion is to tell stories of those who aren't
Speaker 1: able to tell their own stories. And that might be
Speaker 1: an American, it might be a Scandinavian, it could be
Speaker 1: South African, it could be Nigerian, it could be British.
Speaker 1: As long as the story is something that I believe in,
Speaker 1: that's the story I want to tell, and hopefully now
Speaker 1: I can create more roles for other people. That's the aim.
Speaker 1: Have you ever looked at an American playing a role
Speaker 1: of an African or you know, a British person and
Speaker 1: said that person shouldn't be playing that role because they're American. No. No,
Speaker 1: it's so strange because it didn't occur to me that
Speaker 1: that was that was an issue until until I got here.
Speaker 1: I've never looked like there are so many British roles
Speaker 1: that have been played by Americans, so many and they've
Speaker 1: been African roles played they Americans, but it's never I've
Speaker 1: never been like wise in an African playing that role
Speaker 1: because rectors. Now, also, I see there was a rumor
Speaker 1: that you were in a relationship with Lena. Waithe that's
Speaker 1: our good friend up here. Any truth to that? I mean,
Speaker 1: here's the thing like, I understand we have to ask it.
Speaker 1: But if you ask that question and I'll give you
Speaker 1: an answer, that means that you are suggesting that I
Speaker 1: need to tell you what my sexuality is right now,
Speaker 1: which means that if I'm not ready to come out here,
Speaker 1: you would be outing me, Like how you do that
Speaker 1: back on me? So let's so I didn't ask that question,
Speaker 1: but check out a wreath of the genius Aretha, and
Speaker 1: we appreciate you for checking in. Thank you so much. Listen.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, got angel, It's all right. Another alle you
Speaker 1: for DJMV. Now let's talk about this was trending yesterday
Speaker 1: and everybody was talking about this guy, Derek Jackson. Now,
Speaker 1: I guess he is a relationship expert and he's a
Speaker 1: quote relationship guru, and here he is. This is just
Speaker 1: one of the things that he talks about about men
Speaker 1: being cheaters. You know, women love this talk coming from
Speaker 1: a man. I have no sympathy for a man who
Speaker 1: finds it to be difficult to be faith after being
Speaker 1: in a permission was lifestyle and neither ship. Nobody told
Speaker 1: you to be permissious before the relationship, and nobody made
Speaker 1: you be monogamous. We just heard you don't want her,
Speaker 1: let another man have her. Except and more times, I
Speaker 1: would say nine times out of ten when the dude
Speaker 1: gets caught cheating, that was wasn't his very very first
Speaker 1: time cheating. That was his only time getting caught. Who. Well,
Speaker 1: I hit dog Bill Holler and it was exposed that
Speaker 1: he actually was cheating on his own wife. He's been
Speaker 1: married for four years. And YouTuber Tasha k actually interviewed
Speaker 1: a woman that he slept with named Candice Damaderos. And
Speaker 1: I guess there's other women who are also coming forward. Well,
Speaker 1: here is Derek Jackson who says that affair wasn't what
Speaker 1: you think. Listen, at that point, I had a beef
Speaker 1: with God. I gave my life to christ in my
Speaker 1: whole life fell apart, my marriage fell apart. At this point,
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing my kids and I really honestly just
Speaker 1: went to a place of ethic. That was in May June.
Speaker 1: She basically lets me know there's no plan for her
Speaker 1: to be around on my birthday. Now I'm in screw it, molde,
Speaker 1: ef it, molde. I'm hitting up old chicks. I really
Speaker 1: don't care at this point. One of those people was
Speaker 1: a girl named Candids. Now here's the thing. So me
Speaker 1: and Candids have had a sexual relationship without actually having sex. Man,
Speaker 1: you are a liar, and you've always been a liar.
Speaker 1: I've never yeah a sexual relationship without having sex. Does
Speaker 1: anybody understand that? Can you interpret that? No? I've never
Speaker 1: heard someone say I gave my life to Christ and
Speaker 1: my life fell apart. That's that's new one. But I mean,
Speaker 1: you can have you can have emotional you can you
Speaker 1: can cheat emotionally, right, right, you don't have to necessarily
Speaker 1: have sex with you. Sometimes you just gotta say, I'm
Speaker 1: I was wrong. I messed up. Yeah, I was confused
Speaker 1: with the brother first of all. I was confused with
Speaker 1: what makes him a specialist? Right, He's been married four
Speaker 1: years and he portrays his perfect in perfection. And anybody
Speaker 1: who's been married or been in a relationship, you know
Speaker 1: that there is nothing perfect about a relationship, about a marriage,
Speaker 1: There's nothing perfect. There is Like even with my Poe cast,
Speaker 1: with me and my wife, we talk about everything, the good,
Speaker 1: the bad, the ugly. I talked about my infidelity. I
Speaker 1: talked about everything because that's what makes the relationship strong,
Speaker 1: and that's what helps people out but portraying that something
Speaker 1: is perfect. People look for this perfection and there is
Speaker 1: no perfection. I talk about me being insecure, I talk
Speaker 1: about me being controlling early on in our relationship, but
Speaker 1: all that has helped and built to what we have today,
Speaker 1: and we talk about everything. We still get into arguments,
Speaker 1: we still have problems, but we have great times. But
Speaker 1: we talk about it and that's what relationships and marriage
Speaker 1: is about, working through it. Well. Derek also had said
Speaker 1: that he didn't sleep with that woman, or anyone for
Speaker 1: that matter. He said that did not happen, He did
Speaker 1: not sleep with her, but then he changed his tune.
Speaker 1: He actually did a video with his wife and she
Speaker 1: was there with him. She was wearing a bonnet. And
Speaker 1: here's what happened. The truth is is that Derek Jackson
Speaker 1: was involved with other women outside the marriage, and I involved.
Speaker 1: I want to be clear. I'm not talking about just
Speaker 1: casually kicking nick maybe a lunch or something like that.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a serious that has sex and something
Speaker 1: that otherwise may be considered okay by some, but without
Speaker 1: my wife's knowledge of it, and with us having a
Speaker 1: sexual history, all of it falls under the umbrella of
Speaker 1: inappropriate cheating, affair, stepping out. It's important that I first thought,
Speaker 1: let you guys know I do not stand by those actions.
Speaker 1: And then secondly, I know that I cannot build a
Speaker 1: platform preaching certain things, preaching against certain things. And then
Speaker 1: in my real life lived contrary to that, I know
Speaker 1: one thing. You have to let your wife get to
Speaker 1: the part of the busteed challenge when Erica Banks song
Speaker 1: plays before you put her online and embarrass her because
Speaker 1: she looked like the Nelly Park was still playing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she didn't look like drop down and come up fresh.
Speaker 1: Dad never asked, She didn't look like she want to
Speaker 1: be there. And I would hope that they would figure
Speaker 1: out their problems first before they go to the world,
Speaker 1: Like figure out home first, don't don't. Don't just have
Speaker 1: your wife up there and you're talking and she looks
Speaker 1: like she doesn't want to be there. Fix the problem first,
Speaker 1: y'all get your therapy on, y'all get what y'all gotta
Speaker 1: get on, and then you could addressed the public. This
Speaker 1: ain't about the public, This ain't about the world. This
Speaker 1: is if you really care, like you say, this is
Speaker 1: about you and your wife, man and fixing the only
Speaker 1: thing I would tell everybody out there, I would rather
Speaker 1: be known in life as an honest center than a
Speaker 1: lying hypocrite. Okay, and also remember that God will never
Speaker 1: bless who you pretend to be. He will only bless
Speaker 1: who you are. Also, in the words of MC breed,
Speaker 1: ain't no future in fronting. Okay, all of y'all that
Speaker 1: be fronting and performing on social media because you get
Speaker 1: rewarded for it. Just know one thing about performing, The
Speaker 1: curtain will eventually fall. So many people wake up every
Speaker 1: day pretending trying to be what people want want want
Speaker 1: them to be instead of being their self, and that
Speaker 1: performing is rewarded nowadays, but eventually that curtain falls and
Speaker 1: the show is over. And finally, black men don't cheat. Okay,
Speaker 1: black boys do, Black immature young men. I haven't cheated
Speaker 1: since October twenty sixteen dropping the clues bombs for me. Okay,
Speaker 1: and I this year, I promise I didn't do it
Speaker 1: last year because of COVID. This year, I am going
Speaker 1: to get a coin made for all the brothers that
Speaker 1: I know who we have truly rehabilitated their lives and
Speaker 1: have been sober and clean for a long period of time.
Speaker 1: How long has it been for you in long ass time,
Speaker 1: a long ass time. It's been five October two thousand
Speaker 1: things to be five years for me and I'm way pass.
Speaker 1: I'm way pass long. But once again, rather be known
Speaker 1: in life is an honest center than align him? All right, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, well that is your rumor report.
Speaker 1: Now putting on my pink you know why. The mixes
Speaker 1: up next, and I'm starting sip set set play it,

Speaker 1: the guy. We are the Breakfast Clubs Women's History Month.
Speaker 1: We reppen today. Ye, well today we are representing for
Speaker 1: Alison Felix. Now. She is an American sprinter. She's the
Speaker 1: only female track and field athlete to win six Olympic
Speaker 1: goals ever, and her nine total medals makes her ties
Speaker 1: her for the most by any all time. She has
Speaker 1: eighteen world championship medals and thirteen world goals. It's the
Speaker 1: most in track and field history for men and women.
Speaker 1: Last year, Allison was named on the Times one hundred
Speaker 1: most Influential People, and that is because of her work
Speaker 1: as an advocate for better maternity coverage for female athletes.
Speaker 1: Here she is discussing that it's Woman's History Month and
Speaker 1: we're celebrating the most influential women in his check out
Speaker 1: this phenomenal work. What was it like to have your
Speaker 1: daughter be witnessed, I think for the first time now
Speaker 1: to these victories, it was amazing. You know. I want
Speaker 1: to be a good role model to her, and you know,
Speaker 1: this year was all about fighting, you know, fighting for
Speaker 1: so much and I want to eventually, you know, tell
Speaker 1: her that story of that. But she'll be able to see,
Speaker 1: you know that I did try to overcome some adversity.
Speaker 1: So how did you know even that ten months after
Speaker 1: an emergency C section that you were even ready to
Speaker 1: get back on the truck. Seems your body would still
Speaker 1: be out of whack. It still is. I'm still getting there,
Speaker 1: you know, ways ago, but you know, just really talking
Speaker 1: to my doctors about, you know, this new body that
Speaker 1: I have, and when I was clear to get back
Speaker 1: out there, and I started slowly, It was a gradual process.
Speaker 1: I started walking and eventually made my way back. Did
Speaker 1: it feel really different it? Did? You know? I was?
Speaker 1: It's very humbling. You know, things that once came really
Speaker 1: easy to me were now very difficult. Well, was gonna say.
Speaker 1: It's stressing to point out that most of the other
Speaker 1: countries that you're competing against on the track there, those
Speaker 1: runners come from countries where parents get protections in pregnancy
Speaker 1: and also in maternity leave. You've taken a fight public
Speaker 1: to make sure athletes get protections under these contracts. What
Speaker 1: does the country need to do and what more needs
Speaker 1: to be done at a corporate level? Does he changes
Speaker 1: happen a lot? I mean, this is an issue that
Speaker 1: everyone is affected by, and I tackled it in my industry.
Speaker 1: But I think that's just really the starting point, you know.
Speaker 1: That's why I want to leave behind is changes for
Speaker 1: the next generation and for my daughter. And that was
Speaker 1: another phenomenal woman in his Yes, congratulations to Alison Felix,
