You got your son a 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.840 pink skateboard. No, I definitely didn't get a pink skateboard. 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:13.919 He wanted to pick one out. I got him a 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:15.919 pink one. But I got him. He has a skateboard. 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:20.240 He wanted it for his birthday last week. Jackson is 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.679 seven sixteen. I'm sure they got skateboarding classes, right, Yeah, 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.120 but you know you learned as a kid, we gotta 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.440 go to the class for riding a bike or skateboard. 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.280 And I just got on there and did it. Well, 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.120 your daddy, your daddy had the money. You have to 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:39.000 pay for the god daddy probably couldn't pay with that 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.000 extra curricular activity. Know I tried yesterday didn't work out 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.799 too what I mean, you know it's I tried to 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.560 show him how to you know, push the backup to 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.920 make it jump and all that. But it was everything 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.079 I met you envy, googled a little Wayne skateboarding and 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.160 learn how to skateboard to teach your son, I guaranteed 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.080 I thought about then. You know, I was playing catch 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.000 with Logan yesterday football. So I just had a good 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:01.720 day with the kids yesterday. I just I love what 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.200 it's nice out so we can go outside and enjoy 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:09.840 the weather. Basically, he's saying he tired. I'm tired, and 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.680 they never want to stop. Last started to going tim 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.400 on minutes, Dad, all right, let's tim on minute, hey man. 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.480 That's why sometimes I envy people who had kids in 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.080 their twenties, you know what I mean, because when they forty, 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.360 their kids grown. You know what I mean, it was 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.240 young and vibrant. They had the energy to do all 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.880 that kind of stuff. Now showed the hurt for no reason. 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.920 Me hurt for no reason. It's like, damn, all I 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.720 do was racing. All I say was get on the 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.360 air track and do a car. Well, it happened. They 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.320 get on the trampoline. Let's do it. Oh lord, Daddy, 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.720 don't flip. Daddy takes naps on the trampoline. I'm not 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.160 even lie I take naps on the trampoline. When my 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.360 two youngest asked me to get on the trampoline and 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.400 my five year and two year olds, I get on there, 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:51.600 I do one jump and then I just lay and 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.800 I say, popcorn me, popcorn me? They jump up all 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.040 around me and pop me up. That's it. Goodness. But 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.240 let's get the show crack. Who's joining us today? Man, 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:05.520 Today we have one of my South Carolina bredren, my guy, 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.720 Craig Melvin, who is a co host up to the 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.640 Day Show.

Me and him go way back, 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.039 Man to the eight oh three Columbia, South Carolina. So 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.880 we'll be talking to him today, all right in the 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.840 front page news. What we're talking about you, let's talk 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.880 about the NBA playoffs and Kawhi Leonard and Chris Paul 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:40.920 some issues. All right, we'll get into that next. It's 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:44.760 the Breakfast Club. Come one morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.440 Angela Guee, Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.400 Let's getting some front page news. The last night, the 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.880 Atlanta Hawks beat Philadelphia one o nine, one oh six. 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.640 Great Game Series three two. The Sixes blew that one. 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.520 The Sixes blew the last two games. By the way, 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:02.479 that's got to be tough when you meek mill and 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.760 you fly you and Quabo fly out on the PJA 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.960 and you know Quabo's in Philly and you're probably clowning 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.240 them the whole first half, the third quarter, in the 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.440 four quarter they come back and win. Whoa yeah, because 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.040 that turned it off. In the third quarter they were 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.440 down by like I turned Loki on. I turned Loki 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.360 on because I was like, man, this game is lope. Wow. 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.400 All right, well, and congratulations to LaMelo Ball he won 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:28.120 Rookie of the Year, deserving to Congratulations to him. Now 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.880 what else we got you, Well, let's talk about Phoenix 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.839 Suns guard Chris Paul. He's been sidelined and that's because 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.640 he's on the league's COVID nineteen Health and Safety Protocols 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.719 the list, and they did announce that yesterday. They said 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.080 there's a natural concern, and that's basically where it ends. 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:44.480 The league is trying to do everything they can to 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.279 keep individuals and teams safe, and it's such a natural 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:51.440 concern for an individual. Now, Jalen Rose has said that 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.360 Chris Paul is vaccinated, and he doesn't anticipate him missing 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.599 more than one game. Unlike Kawa, this one isn't dooming 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.679 gloom for me because they're off this week. He's already 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.800 been vaccinated and I know the word and definitely makes 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.080 you feel like he may not be in the next series. 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.840 I don't anticipate him missing more than one game at 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.120 the most, just based on the dynamics of time and 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.560 how the polar call has worked. I don't see why 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.440 he gotta miss any I mean, they said he's back, 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:21.840 they said he's vaccinated. Give it to other people of 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.120 the Yeah, but the series don't start to like the 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:28.039 twentieth might not have to, but doesn't anticipate him missing 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:29.720 more than one at the most. Yeah, and how many 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.680 days you have to sit down? Usually they say quarantine 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.440 for five days, right, I thought it was Yeah, it's 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.320 three five, it's five. It's five days. They don't play 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.279 till the twentieth, so he should be able to play 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.440 and the twenty third if it goes seven games. But yeah, 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.600 he should be able to play now. When he referenced 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.240 Kawhi Leonard, Kawhi Leonard did miss a game and they 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.080 said he could be out the remainder of the series 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.160 and that's because of a right knee injury. Oh no, 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.080 they say, they say Kawhi has done done because they 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.680 said he got um he gotta have surgery. But you 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.719 know what Lebron said, yes today that you know this, 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:02.520 that this is the reason why he said he didn't 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.560 want to play. He says, the bodies are the players 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.480 didn't get a chance to heal and didn't get a 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.400 chance to recuperate. So now this that's why a lot 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.400 of these people are being so injured. He's like, this 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.680 is the most injuries from a superstars in the league 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:16.360 in a long time, because he was like, the bodies 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.760 just happening healed. I wonder how Lebron would feel if 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.440 his team was still in the playoffs though remember Lebron 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:22.960 was the one that didn't want to come back. Yeah, 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:24.280 but I wonder how he would feel if his team 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:25.720 was still in the playoffs, because he would hate if 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.920 somebody used that excuse and somebody said, well, the only 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.640 reason the Lakers are winning because all the other stars 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.360 are injured. No, he didn't say that. He just said 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:35.640 that a lot of the celebrities and the stars are injured. 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.240 That's the game though, I mean, and I agree with him, like, 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:39.560 you know, they did. They did come back from a 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.480 shortened season, so I'm sure that is, you know, one 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.440 of the main factors for people having a lot of injuries. 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.360 But sometimes that's just a game. That's just the way things. 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.880 Though they also played a shortened season though we just 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:49.520 said that, That's what I'm saying, So I don't understand 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.720 the argument. What do you mean they had like a 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:53.640 how long were they out for? Like a month at least? 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.640 Right with the COVID protocol, Right, it was a short season, 0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:59.760 and they sayed more games more times. Remember they were 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.600 in the so they were playing every other No Lebron 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.080 saying they didn't have the same amount of rest hime 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.120 R that they would have between seasons, but they didn't 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.320 play as long, all right. And Congress has passed legislation 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.600 to make Juneteenth a federal holiday for the first time 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.720 in nearly forty years. Congress has moved to establish a 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:20.120 new national holiday just in time for the anniversary. That's 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.280 the one hundred and fifty sixth anniversary of that day, 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.600 which marks the last African American slaves being freed. In 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:29.960 Texas after the Civil War. All right, So which is 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:31.600 waiting for Joe Biden to sign that he's supposed to 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:33.840 sign it today? I mean, you know what, man, I mean, 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.920 that's that's cool. I know people was pushing for that, 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.320 but man, it is so much other legislation that black 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.400 people need, Like they always do, these these symbolic gestures 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.760 as opposed to making real tangible change, like what's up 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:49.160 with the George Floyd Policing Act? You know what I'm saying, 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:55.599 What's up with voter rights bills? Okay, they're trying to 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.640 take y'all. They're literally taking away black people's right to vote, 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.719 like literally, they're making it like super difficult for to 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:04.480 even go out there in Captain vote. Where is the 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.040 voting right? The John Lewis voting rights? That like something 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.559 some things that can actually impact us in a real way. Well, 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.960 clearly it doesn't start with just I mean doesn't stop 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.800 with Juneteenth. But this is something celebrate, all right, Maybe 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.640 it does stop with June. Team with these people, shout 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.920 to all the black promoters. They are definitely making Juneteenth 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.319 a weekend really immediately, Hell yeah, Juneteenth parties like crazy. 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.480 Now listen, I was at a recording yesterday for a 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.640 juneteent celebration that's going to be happening, which is black 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:35.319 historical figure. Y'all gonna disrespect about putting on flies. Okay, 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.800 well the thing I was at Modern day out pfarming 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.080 and she gets performing in the red.

Okay, well, 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:33.360 the Bills that Trina was in was the same place 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:35.480 she recorded Nan and so she said it had a 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.800 special significance for her because that's her. They recorded that 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:41.280 video her and she did bring out Trick Daddison and 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:42.920 they had over you said to over three hundred fifty 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:47.080 thousd people on Instagram hype. Congrats to them. Yeah, very 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:49.880 enjoyable to see these women on that stage showing each 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.480 other love, looking amazing, and a lot of people forgot 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:54.080 about all the hits that they had and that they 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:58.639 were on all right. Now, Michael Jordan caught a dolphin 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:00.920 earlier and he's doing some three point four million dollar 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:05.040 fishing tournament in North Carolina. They're competing for that top 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:09.119 event prize, and they said so far he caught a 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:11.840 twenty five pound fish to land on the dolphin category 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:14.680 leaderboard early in the contest. This isn't the first time 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:17.040 he's done this event. Apparently it's a very well known event. 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.400 Last year they got a four hundred and forty two 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:23.040 pound blue marlin, the fourth the biggest catch of the day. 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:26.000 Have y'all ever went fishing? Yeah, yeah, I'm going fishing, 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.960 not like like them, though, they're doing some serious fishing. 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:33.080 He caught a dolphin, what you say, Yeah, he did 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:39.280 um And actually, according to a representative, they had to um. 0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:41.720 They had to throw the dolphin back in because the 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:44.160 wrong speechies and they released it back into the water. 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.760 Dolphins are so cute and so intelligent. That's like kidnapping 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:49.280 a kid. I don't think he tried to do it 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:51.480 on purpose. They just put the bait out there, you 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:52.680 know what I mean. Like, as soon as you see 0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:54.160 as a dolphin, you got to make sure that hook 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:55.760 gets out of that Dolph got to bring that on 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:58.119 the boat. Absolutely, and it's big money in fishing. I 0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:01.119 didn't know that. Even in Mexico they do huge fishing 0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:03.320 events and people walk away with like millions of dollars. 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:06.800 Just crazy. You're a real psychopath. You out here hunting dolphins, bro, 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:09.440 you can't do it all. But listen. I was in 0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:11.560 texting Cake Goos and we went on a fishing boat 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:14.280 and I don't I don't think I enjoyed it so much. 0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:18.040 I felt bad while they were catching the fish and 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:19.680 there's a lot of blood everywhere. I was like, I 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:21.920 don't know if I went right back upstairs. I was like, 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.760 I don't know. You don't eat sea food? Right? No? 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:29.000 All right, well that is your reports. I mean, ANGELI 0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:31.840 just has never lived a life. I mean, no Disney World, 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:33.639 no seafood. What else did she say this week that 0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:35.480 I couldn't believe she never had done. I might be 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:37.800 going to Disney World for the first time soon. Well, 0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:41.960 I have some fish when you go shrump or something. 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:47.240 You never seen Lion King. I saw the play on Broadway. 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:53.040 My goodness. You shouldn't get your dad nothing for Father's Day. 0:22:53.080 --> 0:23:04.400 He didn't do much. I don't know. He was just there. 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:12.439 No fish, no Disney World Christ All right, front page news, 0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:14.480 that's what we're talking about. I'm glad y'all didn't blame 0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:16.200 my mom for that. All right, let's talk about the 0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:19.119 Biden put in stammen and some key takeaways from this 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:22.440 meeting in Geneva, US and Russia. We'll get to it. 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.200 Next is to Breakfast Club. God Morning, So Breakfast Club, 0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:28.680 your morning's will never be the same. Bought to you 0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:31.600 by the all new season of the FX original comedy Dave, 0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:34.600 based on the life of Dave Bird aka Little Dickey. 0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:38.399 Dave drops Wednesday, June sixteenth, at ten nine Central on FXX, 0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:42.560 screaming next day on FX on Hulu Morning, everybody is 0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.920 tj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the 0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:50.159 Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Now, A 0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:52.640 Hawk speaks to Philadelphia. Seventy six is one or nine 0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:54.520 one oh six. I turned the game off when I 0:23:54.640 --> 0:23:58.320 swear Philadelphia was up like twenty points. Yeah, that's why 0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:00.879 I turned on Loki on is Me Plus. But the 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:02.879 Hawks did come back to way. They took Joel and 0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:04.720 beat out in the third quarter. I think there was 0:24:04.720 --> 0:24:06.520 like two minutes left. The crown was going crazy. I 0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:08.400 was like, oh, this is over. I wondered didn't meet 0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:11.159 h you know, in quable ride back together. I know 0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:14.320 they rolled to the game together, but I'm sure Miko 0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:16.479 was talking so crazy. I'm sure stree quarters and then 0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:17.920 the Hawks come back and win the fourth quarter. I 0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:19.960 don't want to hear that on the way back. That's 0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:25.840 your own jack h. What else we got you? Well, 0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:30.200 Congress is designating post massacre site as a national memorial. 0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:33.440 As you guys recall, this was in Orlando, Florida, five 0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:35.359 years ago. A gum and killed forty nine people and 0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:39.320 wounded fifty three people there. The Senate voted final congressional 0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:41.720 approval of the bill last week and Joe Biden is 0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:44.840 expected to sign it soon. And that was the deadliest 0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:48.960 deadliest attack on the LGBTQ community in American history. So 0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:53.679 they're making that a national memorial. So it's not open anymore. 0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:55.280 You can just I know, you can go outside and 0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:57.240 they have things that you can sign, but it's not 0:24:57.320 --> 0:25:00.640 you can't go inside and nothing like that anymore. Right closed, Yeah, 0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:03.359 that site right there is just a memorial site. Gotcha? 0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:05.600 They said, it's really important for survivors to know we 0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:08.840 are not going away until the job is done. According 0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:13.320 to Nancy Pelosi, all right, now, let's talk about Joe 0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:17.560 Biden and Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, And they actually 0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:21.120 had a little less than four hour meeting, and Joe 0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:23.159 Biden said in a news conference after the meeting the 0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:25.880 tone was good, and he acknowledged that it will take 0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:28.200 time to know whether there will be any significant progress. 0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:31.040 He wasn't confident that he had done anything to change 0:25:31.080 --> 0:25:34.879 Putin's behavior, but he did discuss some of the issues 0:25:35.000 --> 0:25:39.399 with cyber capabilities and the violations from Russia. Whether I 0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:42.560 stopped it from happening it again, he knows, I will 0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:46.120 take action like we did when this last time out. 0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:48.920 What happened was we in fact made it clear that 0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.399 we were not going to continue to allow us to 0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:54.080 go on. The end result was we ended up with 0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:58.240 drawing and they went drawing ambassadors, We closed down some 0:25:58.440 --> 0:26:01.440 of their facilities in the United State, Age, etc. He 0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:05.640 knows their consequences. The hypocrisy of the media is hilarious. 0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:08.879 When Biden met with Putin, is it's all good in 0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:11.080 the media. When Trump met with Putin. He got dragged. 0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:13.680 What's the difference. I think this was a this was 0:26:13.760 --> 0:26:15.840 a summit, and so you do still have to meet 0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:17.640 with leaders, but you can't be trying to like cut 0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:20.520 deals and secretly have meetings and set things up. Who 0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:23.000 you know, you got to do. Everything you do is Trump, 0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:25.600 Putin Trump, and Putin was out in the open. He 0:26:25.680 --> 0:26:27.640 got dragged. They said that people were upset that Trump 0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:30.760 didn't confront Putin about Russ's an interference in the election. 0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:33.879 It's just interesting. It's just interesting how one, you know, 0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:36.800 causes an uproar, but the other is just like, oh, 0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:39.119 it's okay. They had a meeting, like well. I think 0:26:39.119 --> 0:26:41.280 there were also a lot of issues with Trump's relationship 0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:43.680 with hut behind the scenes that people didn't know about, 0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:47.480 in certain financial deals that had been made that were 0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:50.360 that they were discussing, and other people that were having 0:26:50.440 --> 0:26:52.720 conversations on the side that weren't out in the open. 0:26:53.080 --> 0:26:57.399 I don't I don't see the difference. Okay. And then 0:26:57.440 --> 0:26:59.240 here is what Putin had to say about their meeting. 0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:02.720 I think there were facilities quite the contrary, Army meeting 0:27:02.840 --> 0:27:07.920 took place. Principally speaking, we don't share the same positions 0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:10.919 in many areas. But I think that both of these 0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:17.840 sides showed a willingness to understand one another. It feels 0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:20.320 like nothing really happened, all right, And a heat wave 0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.280 has been gripping the West in the United States, and 0:27:23.720 --> 0:27:25.520 people are saying that they're scared this is going to 0:27:25.560 --> 0:27:29.240 be a new hotter normal. In Phoenix, they've had a 0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:30.960 record for the second day in a row when it 0:27:31.040 --> 0:27:33.359 reached one hundred and fifteen degrees yesterday. It's expected to 0:27:33.400 --> 0:27:36.400 hit one hundred and seventeen degrees for the next two days. 0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:39.000 And scientists who studied drought and climate change see that 0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:41.040 people living in the American and West can expect to 0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:43.880 see more of the same in the coming years. Heat 0:27:43.920 --> 0:27:46.680 waves are getting worse because the soil is so dry 0:27:46.840 --> 0:27:49.960 from the region's mega drought, and we could have two, three, four, 0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:51.840 or five of these heat waves before the end of 0:27:51.880 --> 0:27:57.600 the summer. All right. Well, they are asking in California 0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:01.760 to voluntarily conserve pour. They're asking their residence to do 0:28:01.880 --> 0:28:04.600 that for a few hours Thursday evening because they are 0:28:04.640 --> 0:28:08.320 anticipating record breaking heat blankets during the West during this week. 0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:10.160 You can't ask me to conserve power. When it's hot 0:28:10.200 --> 0:28:13.200 as hell, I gotta have the AC. What are we 0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:16.199 talking about? Yeah, I guess they want to make sure 0:28:16.280 --> 0:28:18.159 everyone's power doesn't go out and then no one has 0:28:18.200 --> 0:28:20.280 a c Well, better, get you a good church fan, 0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:22.280 bring back the church fan. I told y'all. Last year 0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:23.879 I ordered me with the last year, maybe it was 0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:25.119 the earlier. This year, I ordered me a bunch of 0:28:25.160 --> 0:28:28.199 church fans. Get you a good church fan, man, get 0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:30.159 old school and get the fan and put it in 0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:33.840 the window. Yeah, okay, let that natural ass circulate through 0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:37.000 your house with that fan. All right, Well, that is 0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:39.760 your front page news and dramas. What's going on in 0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:42.200 Puerto Rico? I heard they have a rolland power out 0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:45.480 of you dramas. Shut up.

There's a 0:28:53.560 --> 0:28:55.960 lot of controversy over the company that they're using. That said, 0:28:55.960 --> 0:28:58.600 they said, I think over three hundred thousand people without power. 0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:01.600 So you got how are you gonna let the Dominican 0:29:01.600 --> 0:29:03.360 in the room no more about what's going on?

I don't know when to about 0:29:13.720 --> 0:29:16.960 Puerto Rican issues. They've had shaky The power grid has 0:29:17.000 --> 0:29:20.880 been shaky ever since Hurricane Maria, has never been properly repaired. 0:29:21.120 --> 0:29:23.200 The money has the funds weren't given down there under 0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:27.320 the trumpet, he go dramas. That's what we needed right there. 0:29:27.400 --> 0:29:29.040 All right, you're letting the Dominican in the room have 0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:31.400 more say so on Puerto Rican. Even give me a 0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:33.640 damn chance to answer it, thinking jumping down my throat, 0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:41.520 What do you mean, y'all? Kinky already? All right? Wow, okay, 0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:43.840 all right, Well, who's joining us next? Man? My guy, 0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:46.040 Craig Melvin.

You don't 0:30:49.760 --> 0:30:51.280 want to do that. No, I don't want to do it. 0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:56.440 That short destruction. Not doing that, I will say. I 0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:59.479 will say, um, if you told either one of us 0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:02.080 fifteen twenty years ago, that this is where we would be. 0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:04.960 I would have laughed. I can't speak for I don't know. 0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:06.640 I think people kind of knew it because I remember 0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:09.200 we got We were in the South Carolina state newspaper 0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:12.200 in two thousand three or four and they named me 0:31:12.320 --> 0:31:15.520 and you two of the top ten. I think it 0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:18.840 was media Personalities under the age of thirty in Columbia Cycline, 0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:21.000 and they did these profiles and I was actually still 0:31:21.040 --> 0:31:22.880 have my frame and I did I did the Ten 0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:25.640 Commandments of Hip Hop and Craig told a story, but 0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:27.080 I just remember him laying on the grass with a 0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:30.200 puppy look in his face. Story comes out just saying 0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:34.440 it was a story. Had a dog back then in trouble. 0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:36.920 They wanted to take a picture of me and my dog, 0:31:37.680 --> 0:31:39.480 and a picture that they happened to snap at the 0:31:39.560 --> 0:31:41.959 time was But the dog didn't usually lick my face, 0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:45.160 didn't sleep in the band kiss. I'm not a dog kisser. 0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:47.680 I've never kissed. That dog was definitely kissing you. The 0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:49.960 dog may have he may have licked me once and again. 0:31:50.000 --> 0:31:52.719 The photographer just timed it perfectly. But I haven't heard 0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:55.360 the end of it. I have that framed. I should 0:31:55.360 --> 0:31:58.080 have bought it. I'm glad you didn't. I'm glad this 0:31:58.200 --> 0:32:00.280 before social media. Right, Yeah, So we were get out. 0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:01.640 He would get off the air, I would get off 0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:04.120 the eleven o'clock news, and we would hit the club. 0:32:04.280 --> 0:32:06.280 And when you go with him to the strip clubs, 0:32:06.600 --> 0:32:12.200 I've never been we've been to this, I've never. I 0:32:12.320 --> 0:32:18.080 have never. Never. We would go to regular clubs, regular 0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:22.920 night clubs. Thing like that life he led back then, 0:32:23.160 --> 0:32:25.719 that would serve him well now like he gives him 0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:28.360 street crack. That life I led back then. I don't 0:32:28.400 --> 0:32:31.880 need that. I don't need that life. I would this. 0:32:32.040 --> 0:32:35.680 I was with my girl, done that since high school. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:32:36.120 --> 0:32:38.200 that's a fact. That's we used to go to V twelve. 0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:39.720 V twelve used to be off spoties to be V 0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:42.760 twelve in the Vista. Goodness be twelve in the Vista. 0:32:42.800 --> 0:32:44.600 But Craig. One thing I can say about Craig. Craig 0:32:44.720 --> 0:32:47.080 was always focused, you know what I mean? He was 0:32:47.120 --> 0:32:49.160 always mature. Why did you hang out with him? Then? 0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:53.719 I need a street crack. But he had a lot 0:32:53.800 --> 0:32:56.000 more fun than I was. Happing, Like, wherever he was, 0:32:56.320 --> 0:32:58.880 that's where the party was. Yes, I do remember one 0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:01.360 time we was in the VP. Craig is sitting there. 0:33:01.440 --> 0:33:04.960 Craig goes, Oh my god, that man wanna I gotta 0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:10.080 get out of here. Probably that's probably right now, Probably true, 0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:11.920 that is true. We used to have a good time. Well, 0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:14.720 let's sen you know Craig is here, um, because he 0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:17.600 has a new book out that came out Tuesday. It's 0:33:17.640 --> 0:33:20.800 called Pops Pops Learning to Be a Son and Father. 0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:22.600 And the reason I loved this book for a number 0:33:22.600 --> 0:33:23.800 of reasons. I mean, number one, because I know you 0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:26.720 and I just love to hear, you know, backstories of 0:33:27.320 --> 0:33:29.400 people from South Carolina, because you know, we don't we 0:33:29.440 --> 0:33:32.120 don't have a lot of representation, right. But you address 0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:34.680 a relationship that will always be complicated, probably the most 0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:37.360 complicated relationship a man can have, and that's the relationship 0:33:37.400 --> 0:33:39.960 we have with our father. Yes, what made you address 0:33:40.040 --> 0:33:42.520 that topic? Well, a couple of things you know and 0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:44.440 I write about in the book. But two years ago, 0:33:44.640 --> 0:33:49.200 my dad, after you know, forty plus years of heavy 0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:53.440 drinking and gambling addiction and um, he finally decided he 0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:55.200 was going to get some help. He was sixty seven 0:33:55.280 --> 0:33:58.400 years old at the time. And of the things of 0:33:58.480 --> 0:34:01.040 which I'm proud in my life, and there are a lot. 0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:04.840 It's it's top of the list, like my dad deciding 0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:07.880 late in life that he wanted to live better. It's 0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:12.759 it is. It was the most cathartic thing I've ever done. Wow. Um, 0:34:13.520 --> 0:34:16.759 I wanted to give my father his roses while he's 0:34:16.760 --> 0:34:18.799 still alive. So it's a love letter to my dad. 0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:21.840 It's a love letter to fatherhood. It's a story of 0:34:21.960 --> 0:34:27.160 resilience and overcoming addiction. Uh, it's a story of forgiveness 0:34:27.920 --> 0:34:30.759 as well. You know, my dad, even after he got clean, 0:34:31.520 --> 0:34:34.360 we would talk like this and you know, rarely a 0:34:34.400 --> 0:34:37.800 conversation would pass where he didn't talk about the guilt 0:34:37.840 --> 0:34:39.919 that he felt, and he would cry and just talk 0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:43.000 about how how bad he felt about being absent. And 0:34:43.120 --> 0:34:45.760 even when he was present, he was you know, drunk, 0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:51.400 hungover or sleeping. Um. But I wanted him to know 0:34:51.560 --> 0:34:55.120 that we've all forgiven him and and so it's that 0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:57.160 was that was part of it. Did you forgive him 0:34:57.239 --> 0:34:59.680 easier when you had kids? Because we talk about this 0:34:59.760 --> 0:35:01.839 all time, like you're mad at your dad for things 0:35:01.960 --> 0:35:04.279 you don't understand until you start having your own kids. 0:35:04.360 --> 0:35:06.120 Right leaving to my kids, now like, you know, me 0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:07.879 and my kids go to him. I'm sure my kids 0:35:07.880 --> 0:35:10.560 say they hate me at times because you're overprotective, right, 0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:14.440 And my dad, being a retired police office, was over protective. 0:35:14.840 --> 0:35:16.560 But now I'm on like that with my kids, and 0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:19.279 I understand completely why my dad wouldn't let me go 0:35:19.360 --> 0:35:22.279 to certain things and take certain you know, trains, or 0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:24.319 go to this party. So did you feel that when 0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:25.600 you started to have kids and be like, I need 0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:29.640 to patch this up now precisely precisely, you know, here's 0:35:30.040 --> 0:35:33.040 we're hard in our parents. Yeah, but we're hard because 0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:36.920 you know, when you're ten, fifteen, twenty, you don't you 0:35:36.960 --> 0:35:39.200 don't know you had you haven't experienced the world. You 0:35:39.239 --> 0:35:41.560 don't really have perspective. You just know you want to 0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:42.759 go out to this party or you want to go 0:35:42.840 --> 0:35:44.719 see this girl, and you know you want to you 0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:47.520 want to be what teenagers want to be. And it's 0:35:47.600 --> 0:35:49.320 it's not until you get older and you have children 0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:52.440 and you realize that your primary responsibilities to protect them 0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:55.320 from the world. And I but I was hard on 0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:59.000 my dad for for a different reason because back then, 0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:02.439 know the way we view lots of things now, whether 0:36:02.440 --> 0:36:06.200 it's mental health, but with regards to addiction, back then, 0:36:06.560 --> 0:36:10.080 we didn't view addiction as a sickness. You thought he 0:36:10.160 --> 0:36:14.239 was being selfish. Yeah, he can't about than us, right, 0:36:14.480 --> 0:36:16.080 if you really wanted to get the monkey off your back, 0:36:16.080 --> 0:36:20.440 you could. But now knowing what we know, having covered 0:36:20.560 --> 0:36:23.560 so many stories related to addiction, you know, five teen 0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:25.759 years ago, I started to look at it like like 0:36:25.880 --> 0:36:28.240 we look at it now, like a disease and illness. 0:36:28.560 --> 0:36:30.239 So I was hard on my dad for that reason. 0:36:30.320 --> 0:36:32.840 So I was angry and resentful, and you know, it 0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:35.880 just got to a point where I was, you know, 0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:38.480 my firm believer in therapy as well, and my therapist 0:36:38.840 --> 0:36:41.640 a couple of years ago finally after well, I mean 0:36:41.719 --> 0:36:43.320 had been suggesting it for a number of years, but 0:36:43.400 --> 0:36:47.040 suggested that I made peace with it and forgive my father, 0:36:47.160 --> 0:36:50.360 not for my father, but but for me um. And 0:36:50.440 --> 0:36:53.719 so all of that led to this, I too, learned 0:36:53.760 --> 0:36:57.520 to forgive my father in therapy because I realized that 0:36:57.640 --> 0:37:01.600 my father was just doing the best he could, and 0:37:01.680 --> 0:37:04.640 he was working with the tools that he had at 0:37:04.719 --> 0:37:06.840 the time. Yes, you know, when you're dealing with substance 0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:10.120 abusing his own mental health issues, he really did a 0:37:10.200 --> 0:37:13.040 lot for somebody with a lot of those problems, you know. 0:37:13.239 --> 0:37:17.120 And to that point, Charlomagne, my dad and I didn't 0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:18.480 know this until I was writing the book, And the 0:37:18.520 --> 0:37:21.440 first line of the book is my dad was born 0:37:21.480 --> 0:37:23.640 in a federal prison in West Virginia. He didn't even 0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:26.920 know who his dad was until he was almost a teenager. 0:37:27.000 --> 0:37:31.080 So imagine, imagine growing up not knowing who your your 0:37:31.200 --> 0:37:33.200 your dad is, having other kids pick at you. They 0:37:33.239 --> 0:37:35.080 would call him a jail baby and all this stuff, 0:37:35.120 --> 0:37:37.680 and having other kids pick at you. It shapes and 0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:41.400 molds you in ways that you don't fully appreciate until 0:37:41.800 --> 0:37:44.840 you're you know, you're much older. So he so he 0:37:44.960 --> 0:37:47.319 grew up that way. And when he found out who 0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:48.880 his dad was, it's not like his dad took an 0:37:48.920 --> 0:37:51.399 active interest. I asked him, and it's in the book. 0:37:51.440 --> 0:37:55.560 I asked him. During the interview with Montenna, said, what's 0:37:55.600 --> 0:37:58.560 the what's the most money you ever wasted without missing 0:37:58.600 --> 0:38:02.680 and beating? My dad said twenty five dollars dollars on 0:38:02.800 --> 0:38:05.040 what he's like, that's how much it cost to put 0:38:05.080 --> 0:38:08.279 my daddy in the ground nineteen eighty six. Yeah, that 0:38:08.400 --> 0:38:11.840 was my reaction. And he proceeded to explain how his 0:38:11.960 --> 0:38:15.120 father was a dead beat, like a come back me. 0:38:15.840 --> 0:38:19.320 And so my dad did exponentially better than his fathers. 0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:22.759 And I would say, we're probably doing a little bit 0:38:22.800 --> 0:38:24.400 better than I dad. That's what it is about the 0:38:24.520 --> 0:38:29.880 right well back then, especially like black fathers in the South. 0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:33.080 And man, my dad worked third shift at the post 0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:37.239 office because you make a little little extra money, weekends, holidays, 0:38:37.880 --> 0:38:41.160 no vacations to provide to get us to the middle class, right, 0:38:41.840 --> 0:38:47.440 And I didn't appreciate it and respect it until all 0:38:47.480 --> 0:38:50.880 of a sudden, we're forced to provide for children. All Right, 0:38:50.880 --> 0:38:53.160 we have more with Craig Melvin. You probably heard him 0:38:53.160 --> 0:38:55.480 with MSNBC, so don't move. It's to breakfast Club, Good 0:38:55.480 --> 0:39:01.200 morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy and ye Charlemagne, the 0:39:01.239 --> 0:39:03.279 guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it 0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:05.560 with Craig Melvin. Charlemagne. You know, you know in the 0:39:05.600 --> 0:39:07.279 book you talk about how you know your father had 0:39:07.400 --> 0:39:09.680 a gambling addiction as well as well as liquor. I 0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:11.920 mean that it's really like mirrors my father, you know. 0:39:12.000 --> 0:39:14.719 But it took a lot of oldgs. Those two things 0:39:14.760 --> 0:39:16.640 took a lot of oldgs in South Carolina down down 0:39:16.680 --> 0:39:18.360 a bad path. Do you think they got caught up 0:39:18.360 --> 0:39:23.200 because it was nothing else to do, right, and especially 0:39:23.280 --> 0:39:25.520 video poker. People don't a lot of folks outside of 0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:28.520 South Carolina don't realize the scourge the video poker was 0:39:28.760 --> 0:39:31.200 back in the eighties and nineties in South Carolina. I 0:39:31.239 --> 0:39:33.440 mean it was a two billion dollars industry and you 0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:35.879 go in and you press some buttons and you're playing 0:39:35.960 --> 0:39:38.360 like poker with a computer. And my dad would go 0:39:38.480 --> 0:39:41.600 in on a Friday and he like, not an exaggeration, 0:39:41.600 --> 0:39:44.120 he blows whole paycheck. I'm playing like video poker for 0:39:44.200 --> 0:39:46.880 six hours. You know, tall boy in one hand, video poker, 0:39:47.440 --> 0:39:52.680 but tall boy, you know the tall boy. And it's 0:39:52.760 --> 0:39:57.880 like what a how many ounces of two? Yeah? Ye 0:39:59.760 --> 0:40:06.479 still nix selling the pup brown pap paper back man. Yeah, 0:40:06.800 --> 0:40:09.000 well anyway possible. He would have a couple of tall 0:40:09.080 --> 0:40:12.040 boys and so but no, he and his friends, to 0:40:12.160 --> 0:40:15.080 your point, like that was it wasn't typically just one addiction. 0:40:15.239 --> 0:40:19.400 It was it was booze and gambling, or booze and women, 0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:22.719 or booze and and and my dad you know, but 0:40:22.960 --> 0:40:27.000 to his credit, gave up gambling, gave up drinking. In November, 0:40:27.080 --> 0:40:29.080 he was in the hospital for five days. We thought 0:40:29.120 --> 0:40:32.920 it was COVID. Thankfully it wasn't. He had um bacterial pneumonia. 0:40:33.320 --> 0:40:36.480 Doctor comes and miss melting Um. How much do you smoke? 0:40:36.880 --> 0:40:39.480 That's what he means in a given day? So I'm 0:40:39.520 --> 0:40:42.080 probably down to a packet day. He'd been packet day 0:40:42.080 --> 0:40:45.040 smoker for forty years. Doc says, well, smell here, gonna 0:40:45.040 --> 0:40:47.839 have to have to stop smoking. He said, okay, all right, 0:40:48.160 --> 0:40:50.719 hadn't had a cigarette sense, Wow, will power? Will power? 0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:52.960 I don't I don't necessarily possess. But yeah, no, he's 0:40:53.000 --> 0:40:54.920 giving up all of his vices. You know, it just 0:40:55.040 --> 0:40:56.560 sounds like, you know because when I when I read 0:40:56.600 --> 0:40:58.480 your book, you know, and it's something I knew, but 0:40:58.600 --> 0:41:00.600 just the shrine forces it. The thing about our fatherhood 0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:02.920 is really on the job training, Like do you think 0:41:02.960 --> 0:41:05.640 it's something you can ever truly learn to do? No, No, 0:41:05.840 --> 0:41:08.279 it's it's a it's a journey, not a destination. And 0:41:08.280 --> 0:41:10.200 because the kids are different, Like you know, you've got three, 0:41:10.280 --> 0:41:13.080 your three girls, they're all different. My southern daughters are 0:41:13.200 --> 0:41:16.360 very different, and as they get older, they present new challenges. 0:41:16.360 --> 0:41:20.520 I understand. Um, so it's no. I think I have 0:41:20.719 --> 0:41:23.400 found though. Um, and this is something I knew our 0:41:23.440 --> 0:41:26.400 fathers didn't do. You start talking to other fathers, you 0:41:26.480 --> 0:41:28.839 start talking to other dad You realize no one's doing 0:41:28.880 --> 0:41:31.280 it right like, no one, no one, no one's mastered 0:41:31.400 --> 0:41:35.680 us right. Um, But it's I'm a Carson Dally. Uh. 0:41:35.960 --> 0:41:37.520 You know, he's part of the Today's Show, and he 0:41:37.600 --> 0:41:39.080 gave me some advice a couple of years ago. It's 0:41:39.080 --> 0:41:41.600 always stayed with me, he said. At some point, you 0:41:41.760 --> 0:41:46.160 realize that everyone's sacrificing something. You know, either you're sacrificing time, 0:41:46.200 --> 0:41:49.839 you're sacrificing money, You're you're sacrificing something. You make peace 0:41:49.920 --> 0:41:52.200 with that and you decide you're gonna focus over You're 0:41:52.239 --> 0:41:55.640 gonna focus on quality over quality. Right. So I'm gonna 0:41:55.640 --> 0:41:57.560 miss some stuff. I'm not gonna be some literal league games, 0:41:57.600 --> 0:41:59.440 some soccer games. Maybe I'm missed a recital here there 0:41:59.440 --> 0:42:01.720 because I've got to work. But when we are together, 0:42:02.560 --> 0:42:06.120 I'm present. I'm there, not on not on the cell phone. Uh. 0:42:06.160 --> 0:42:08.279 And we're gonna take great trips, great vacations. We're gonna 0:42:08.280 --> 0:42:11.480 make memories. Uh did last And that's that's always something 0:42:11.520 --> 0:42:14.720 to stay with me. What did your father learn about 0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:17.160 you that he didn't know when when when y'all were 0:42:17.200 --> 0:42:20.040 writing this book doing these interviews, I don't think he knew, 0:42:21.080 --> 0:42:25.239 Scratch said, I know he didn't know how angry and 0:42:25.400 --> 0:42:29.000 resentful I was when I was younger, But he also 0:42:29.120 --> 0:42:32.640 didn't know how proud I was of what he has 0:42:32.680 --> 0:42:35.960 overcome and the man he's become. UM. And he didn't 0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:39.120 know that because I didn't tell him that, UM. And 0:42:39.239 --> 0:42:41.520 that's one of the reasons I wanted. I wanted him 0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:45.279 to read this, read this book, and it's it's a 0:42:46.440 --> 0:42:47.960 you know, it's a love letter to him. And when 0:42:48.000 --> 0:42:52.240 I went to visit in rehab down in Statesburg, Georgian, 0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:55.279 it gives me this letter. Forty years my father had 0:42:55.280 --> 0:42:57.360 never written me a letter. It gives me, gives me 0:42:57.440 --> 0:43:01.880 a letter, and it's it's it's his story. And he 0:43:02.000 --> 0:43:05.400 had at the beginning of therapy, I guess, decided that 0:43:05.560 --> 0:43:10.080 he needed to explain himself. And he explained all of it, 0:43:11.160 --> 0:43:13.080 how he came to be the man that he was, 0:43:13.239 --> 0:43:15.000 how he came to be the man that he was 0:43:15.120 --> 0:43:19.440 not Um. His father talked, wrote about all of it 0:43:19.640 --> 0:43:23.400 and wanted me to have it, and I keep it 0:43:23.480 --> 0:43:25.400 in the safe. It's one of the one of my 0:43:25.520 --> 0:43:29.799 most treasured possessions. Um. But it's it's it's just it's 0:43:29.880 --> 0:43:33.680 wild to think. And again, you know, part of it 0:43:34.160 --> 0:43:36.959 is on me. But it's wild to think that someone 0:43:37.000 --> 0:43:39.800 in their late sixties, who struggled mightily with the addictions 0:43:39.840 --> 0:43:43.400 that he struggled with, can decide late in life that 0:43:43.520 --> 0:43:46.120 he wants to to to do better and be better 0:43:47.120 --> 0:43:49.440 for his kids and for his grandkids primarily. Like I 0:43:49.520 --> 0:43:52.399 see my dad now with his grandchildren, I'm like, who 0:43:52.640 --> 0:43:55.920 is that man? Like it's riding bikes and out shooting 0:43:55.960 --> 0:43:59.440 hoops with my son, Like it's a it's it's the 0:43:59.719 --> 0:44:02.400 human in spirit. It's something. You know what I love 0:44:02.400 --> 0:44:04.120 about it. I love the fact that he's doing it 0:44:04.200 --> 0:44:07.080 because of what's happening here on earth. A lot of 0:44:07.120 --> 0:44:08.839 people get right at the end of their life because 0:44:08.880 --> 0:44:10.719 of what they think's gonna happen in the after life. 0:44:10.760 --> 0:44:12.280 But he's like, no, I want to get right because 0:44:12.280 --> 0:44:15.319 of what's happening here on earth in this moment. Yes, 0:44:16.000 --> 0:44:18.000 that's that is that's a good point. I didn't even 0:44:18.080 --> 0:44:20.399 hadn't really thought about that. But you're right. He talks 0:44:20.440 --> 0:44:22.040 about his faith a little bit in the boat. You know, 0:44:22.160 --> 0:44:24.400 we used to go to church. I mean I grew 0:44:24.480 --> 0:44:27.560 up in the church, and Dad would never go And 0:44:28.800 --> 0:44:30.800 and I asked him. We talked a fair amount about that, 0:44:31.400 --> 0:44:34.239 and he finally had and it made perfect sense when 0:44:34.239 --> 0:44:36.839 he when he explained it. He's never had a great 0:44:36.880 --> 0:44:40.120 deal of patience for hypocrites. And he found in the 0:44:40.280 --> 0:44:43.080 church a lot of the folks who were there on 0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:45.120 Sunday were the same folks that he was drinking with 0:44:45.400 --> 0:44:49.160 or shooting crafts with on Saturday. And a lot of 0:44:49.160 --> 0:44:51.040 the folks who were in the choir or the same 0:44:51.080 --> 0:44:53.839 folks who are, you know, cheating on their wives. Um. 0:44:54.160 --> 0:44:56.160 And he didn't have patience for that, he just and 0:44:57.480 --> 0:44:59.560 so it's I get it. Yeah, I got it. I 0:44:59.640 --> 0:45:01.279 got it. Have you explained it? I didn't get it. 0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:03.040 You know. When I was fifteen, I said, why didn't 0:45:03.080 --> 0:45:04.439 Dad have to go to church three times a week 0:45:04.480 --> 0:45:08.120 like we do? Um? But it's it's uh, I learned 0:45:08.120 --> 0:45:11.839 a lot. You describe your father as a ghost. Oh yeah, 0:45:11.880 --> 0:45:14.239 that was a nickname one of my friends gave him. 0:45:14.239 --> 0:45:15.960 I won't, I won't, I won't get I won't say 0:45:15.960 --> 0:45:19.680 her name because we're still friends. But no, because you know, 0:45:20.080 --> 0:45:22.160 when you're growing up kids, you know, parents are showing 0:45:22.239 --> 0:45:25.280 up for events, and my mom was always there. Sometimes 0:45:25.360 --> 0:45:28.640 they're a little too much, but my dad was never there. 0:45:29.080 --> 0:45:31.719 When you started playing video poker, there was a place 0:45:31.760 --> 0:45:33.680 called Tom's Party Shop where he would usually play with 0:45:33.760 --> 0:45:35.880 about a mile away from the house. If you were 0:45:35.920 --> 0:45:39.440 coming to Columbia High School on the school bus, you 0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:41.319 you could always see what was happening in Tom's Party 0:45:41.320 --> 0:45:43.520 Shop direct. My dad drove a nineteen seventy three penty 0:45:43.520 --> 0:45:46.320 A Clamans. He was the only person in America probably 0:45:46.400 --> 0:45:50.840 driving a bright green nineteen seventy three Lamons in nineteen 0:45:50.960 --> 0:45:53.759 ninety two, and so anytime someone saw the car, they 0:45:53.800 --> 0:45:55.480 knew it was my dad. So people kids would be 0:45:55.520 --> 0:45:57.279 coming on the school bus or driving to school and 0:45:57.320 --> 0:45:59.360 they see, you know, at six thirty or seven in 0:45:59.440 --> 0:46:01.520 the morning, there's my dad playing video poker, drinking his 0:46:01.560 --> 0:46:03.640 tall boys the Timas party shop. And so one of 0:46:03.680 --> 0:46:06.160 my friends one morning it was like, hey, I saw 0:46:06.239 --> 0:46:09.960 you pops up Tom's Party Shop. He's like a ghost, 0:46:10.560 --> 0:46:12.640 like you know, sometimes you're see him real fast and 0:46:12.680 --> 0:46:14.560 he's gone blah, blah, man, it's like, I've never seen 0:46:14.640 --> 0:46:16.879 your dad's face. And she was right, she's telling the truth. 0:46:16.960 --> 0:46:20.520 But she nicknamed the ghost, and it was a nickname 0:46:20.600 --> 0:46:24.120 that stayed and it came to represent later in life 0:46:24.200 --> 0:46:28.200 kind of who he was to me, kind of there physically, 0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:33.359 but not really there emotionally or mentally or any other 0:46:33.400 --> 0:46:36.320 way for that matter. All Right, we don't move from NBC. 0:46:36.480 --> 0:46:38.759 We have Craig Melvin joining us today as the Breakfast Club. 0:46:38.800 --> 0:46:43.520 Good morning morning, everybody is cj Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne 0:46:43.560 --> 0:46:45.600 the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking 0:46:45.640 --> 0:46:48.200 it with Craig Melvin and Charlomagne. One thing, even reading 0:46:48.239 --> 0:46:50.799 your book, and I realized with father's it's like, that's 0:46:50.800 --> 0:46:52.680 what you want from your father, right, Like you want 0:46:52.760 --> 0:46:55.960 that emotion Like I feel like, for for my life, 0:46:56.000 --> 0:46:58.759 all I got was disciplined, yes from my dad, not 0:46:59.040 --> 0:47:03.920 real motion, not real love. Yes. Did you do you 0:47:03.960 --> 0:47:07.200 feel like you're getting that now from him? Now? Okay? 0:47:07.400 --> 0:47:10.000 But to your earlier point, Charlemagne, I mean, that's we 0:47:10.160 --> 0:47:12.640 got that because that's what they knew. They didn't They 0:47:12.719 --> 0:47:17.160 weren't capable, they were not capable of being the kind 0:47:17.239 --> 0:47:19.719 of dads that we wanted him to be, that we 0:47:19.840 --> 0:47:21.279 that we needed them to be. They just didn't have 0:47:21.360 --> 0:47:24.360 They didn't have the tools in the toolbox. Um. But 0:47:24.440 --> 0:47:27.040 I didn't realize that until later in life. Yeah, Um, 0:47:27.480 --> 0:47:31.080 so it's I Yes, I get that now from my dad. Now. 0:47:31.640 --> 0:47:34.560 You know, he'll FaceTime at two in the afternoon. He's retired. 0:47:34.760 --> 0:47:37.359 He'll FaceTime between the afternoon. It's like, oh, what's going 0:47:37.360 --> 0:47:39.880 on with either I'm I'm I'm at work, pops, I 0:47:39.960 --> 0:47:42.440 can't you know. But I always answer the call. And 0:47:42.600 --> 0:47:45.360 he and one thing I love about my dad unlike 0:47:45.400 --> 0:47:49.600 my mother, who I love. Uh that's a separate book. 0:47:49.640 --> 0:47:52.319 But um, he never keeps you on the phone too long. 0:47:52.400 --> 0:47:54.800 Like it's always it's three, three minutes, maybe four minutes. 0:47:54.800 --> 0:47:56.640 If it's something serious, that's it. So that's why I 0:47:56.640 --> 0:47:58.960 can talk to him every day. Mom calls, you know, 0:47:59.000 --> 0:48:02.279 it's forty minutes. You there's no you can't wrap. So 0:48:02.520 --> 0:48:05.640 but he calls. It just checks in, uh and always 0:48:05.760 --> 0:48:07.719 ends with I love you. I love you, man, I 0:48:07.800 --> 0:48:12.200 love you. I was twenty maybe college graduation before I 0:48:12.239 --> 0:48:14.040 heard my dad say I love you. I never heard 0:48:14.160 --> 0:48:18.719 of the kid no evil no, really, then it's you 0:48:18.840 --> 0:48:23.640 know hugs. Oh man, there was no no hugs like 0:48:23.760 --> 0:48:27.359 it was. You start hugging like you're going, what's going 0:48:27.400 --> 0:48:31.360 on with you? Really? No? No, no, no, no, no, no, 0:48:31.800 --> 0:48:37.000 no demonstrations of affection. No, that's not that was not Again. 0:48:37.200 --> 0:48:39.880 I think a lot of it goes back to cultural 0:48:40.120 --> 0:48:44.359 and generational. But no, my dad, now you know, every 0:48:44.400 --> 0:48:47.120 time you see him, he's hugging and I mean it's sister, 0:48:48.120 --> 0:48:51.840 it's lu and anyone's capable of it. That's one of 0:48:51.880 --> 0:48:53.520 the reasons I wanted to write the book like it's 0:48:54.040 --> 0:48:56.319 and it's also about you know, a lot of times 0:48:56.360 --> 0:48:59.439 in our families you have people who struggle with things. 0:49:00.120 --> 0:49:02.480 You write them off. Sometimes you do it consciously, sometimes 0:49:02.560 --> 0:49:06.000 you do it, you know, subconsciously, but you you you 0:49:06.200 --> 0:49:07.480 you write them off. You kind of put them in 0:49:07.520 --> 0:49:09.000 a corner. That's just who they are, that's who they're 0:49:09.000 --> 0:49:11.719 gonna be. You never so deal with them. Uh. And 0:49:11.840 --> 0:49:14.120 we did that with my dad for twenty years off 0:49:14.160 --> 0:49:17.719 and on. Uh. And that's that was time that we 0:49:17.800 --> 0:49:19.880 probably could have could have had back. But you know, 0:49:21.280 --> 0:49:23.320 by the way I watched the show and listen to it, 0:49:23.480 --> 0:49:25.759 I didn't realize how therapeutic it was. And this is 0:49:25.840 --> 0:49:27.960 this is U conversation. I probably have a good long 0:49:28.040 --> 0:49:31.359 phone conversations. You could charge people to come in here 0:49:31.440 --> 0:49:35.200 and against the law, but yeah, this is just what 0:49:35.440 --> 0:49:37.480 was it like to like really interview your father? And 0:49:37.600 --> 0:49:40.480 reason I asked that because having real vulnerable conversations with 0:49:40.600 --> 0:49:43.280 your dad, no matter how old you are, it's so difficult, 0:49:43.320 --> 0:49:44.600 Like it's conversations I don't want to have with my 0:49:44.680 --> 0:49:47.400 pops right now that I still haven't even you know, 0:49:47.800 --> 0:49:50.759 got the courage to have yet. So how how was 0:49:50.840 --> 0:49:55.400 it having that real, vulnerable, honest conversation one of one 0:49:55.440 --> 0:49:57.680 of the highlights of my life. And that's what's gonna 0:49:57.680 --> 0:49:59.680 be a great gift for my kids and grandchildren and 0:49:59.719 --> 0:50:02.120 great kids one day. Because we've got like hours of 0:50:02.200 --> 0:50:05.319 these recordings of me doing what you're doing right now, 0:50:05.400 --> 0:50:07.480 just asking questions. And I had a couple of times 0:50:07.520 --> 0:50:09.480 I had to remember I was a journalist and take 0:50:09.520 --> 0:50:12.000 off my son hat I had to work up to 0:50:12.040 --> 0:50:15.359 the serious stuff. It became apparent after about the first 0:50:15.440 --> 0:50:18.840 hour he wanted to talk like he had been waiting 0:50:19.000 --> 0:50:24.719 for years on some of these questions about his relationship 0:50:24.920 --> 0:50:27.960 with his wife with my mother, how that came to be. 0:50:28.239 --> 0:50:30.080 Like there's, for instance, I wrote about in the book, 0:50:30.200 --> 0:50:35.080 there's this picture of me at their wedding reception. I 0:50:35.239 --> 0:50:37.239 was born in seventy nine, they got married in eighty two, 0:50:38.400 --> 0:50:40.120 and I'm at the wedding reception. I mean a little 0:50:40.120 --> 0:50:42.680 blue suit. I've always seen this picture. While I was like, 0:50:42.719 --> 0:50:44.080 oh wow, it's part of the big day. I asked 0:50:44.080 --> 0:50:46.800 my dad about the wedding reception. Of course, the interviews 0:50:46.840 --> 0:50:49.160 like wedding reception. We didn't have a wedding reception. I 0:50:49.239 --> 0:50:52.200 was like, no, no, I've seen these pictures. I was there. 0:50:52.239 --> 0:50:54.240 It's like, no, no, no, that was an a wedding reception, 0:50:54.600 --> 0:51:00.680 and proceeds to explain how on their wedding day, my 0:51:00.840 --> 0:51:03.360 mom wanted a traditional wedding. He didn't want to have 0:51:03.400 --> 0:51:05.880 anything to do with that, and his cousin had to 0:51:05.960 --> 0:51:08.879 convince him to go to the party that she threw 0:51:09.000 --> 0:51:11.919 after like a week or two after they got married 0:51:11.920 --> 0:51:14.239 at the courthouse. I know any of that. Four to 0:51:14.320 --> 0:51:17.440 two years old. I never knew my parents origin story 0:51:18.120 --> 0:51:22.239 and saying, you know it in my mind. You know, 0:51:22.320 --> 0:51:25.440 in our minds we create these stories and then you 0:51:25.560 --> 0:51:28.800 start talking to Dad, and it's like, oh, I wanted 0:51:28.800 --> 0:51:31.000 you to dig a little deep on how your your 0:51:31.080 --> 0:51:34.840 relationship with your father affected your relationship with women. And 0:51:34.920 --> 0:51:37.000 the reason I say that because my father, you know, 0:51:37.280 --> 0:51:39.840 infidelity all throughout the match. I remember even approaching my 0:51:39.960 --> 0:51:42.080 pops one time about cheating on my mom and him 0:51:42.120 --> 0:51:44.319 saying to me, you only got one woman one day, 0:51:44.320 --> 0:51:47.520 you go understand. So it's just like that's a real mindful. 0:51:47.560 --> 0:51:50.279 So you go from either saying yourself, Okay, I gotta 0:51:50.320 --> 0:51:53.000 have multiple women because that's what Pop saying. I gotta 0:51:53.040 --> 0:51:54.799 be the exact opposite of my pops because I don't 0:51:54.840 --> 0:51:57.520 want to, you know, ruin my family the way my 0:51:57.600 --> 0:51:59.680 pop's ruined his. So I just wanted, you know, did 0:51:59.760 --> 0:52:01.640 it he didn't have any impact? It did. And that 0:52:01.800 --> 0:52:03.600 was actually one of the reasons I started therapy with 0:52:03.719 --> 0:52:10.160 my twenties was because I was I found myself incapable 0:52:10.680 --> 0:52:16.839 of having meaningful, substantive relationships, and I started to start 0:52:17.200 --> 0:52:19.920 talking to a therapist and she quickly helped me realize 0:52:20.000 --> 0:52:22.840 that one of the major reasons was because, you know, 0:52:23.040 --> 0:52:26.640 my father. For a variety of reasons, a lot of 0:52:26.680 --> 0:52:29.359 which related to the to the addiction. He didn't treat 0:52:29.400 --> 0:52:32.719 my mother very well. But again it goes back to 0:52:32.840 --> 0:52:34.719 what we were talking about, like he didn't know, he 0:52:34.800 --> 0:52:37.520 didn't know how to be a good husband. He didn't see, 0:52:38.239 --> 0:52:42.160 you know, he had three siblings. My grandma was you know, 0:52:42.320 --> 0:52:46.320 at one point in her life, was running liquor, running numbers, 0:52:46.480 --> 0:52:48.520 you know, did a couple stints in prison for it. 0:52:49.120 --> 0:52:52.200 And so that's that's what he saw growing up. And 0:52:52.520 --> 0:52:56.080 so he didn't see his mother treated well. He consequently 0:52:56.120 --> 0:52:59.040 didn't treat you know, my mother very well. I saw 0:52:59.160 --> 0:53:01.800 that growing up, and I just came to understand that 0:53:01.920 --> 0:53:05.560 that's you know, that was the dynamic between husband and wife. 0:53:05.600 --> 0:53:08.760 So that should be the dynamic between you know, boyfriend 0:53:08.800 --> 0:53:12.279 and girlfriend. Um so I probably owe a number of 0:53:12.320 --> 0:53:16.960 women from my my twenties, maybe early thirties an apology. Uh, 0:53:17.480 --> 0:53:18.959 what did you what did you fall to say about 0:53:18.960 --> 0:53:21.799 your relationship when you decided to settle down and get married. 0:53:22.120 --> 0:53:24.759 I remember vividly on my wedding day when you look 0:53:24.800 --> 0:53:28.160 to your dad for some from some siege wisdom, you know, 0:53:28.719 --> 0:53:31.200 doing your time. I remember being in the bathroom and 0:53:32.000 --> 0:53:34.239 and I said, I think I maybe even tea him 0:53:34.320 --> 0:53:37.640 up for it. And I remember him saying vividly, listen, 0:53:38.320 --> 0:53:41.279 you know, we don't do divorce. That was it. That 0:53:41.400 --> 0:53:49.400 was that was I was. That was um No, but 0:53:49.480 --> 0:53:52.200 that's one thing about dad, Like, even before I got married, 0:53:52.239 --> 0:53:54.279 there were a couple of young ladies that I dated 0:53:54.360 --> 0:53:58.680 seriously and he always remember one you please don't okay, okay, 0:53:59.000 --> 0:54:01.920 h thank you, don't do that vy, don't look over there, 0:54:02.960 --> 0:54:05.440 thank you, thank you. But he always took to him 0:54:05.520 --> 0:54:09.120 like he was always far nicer uh to my girlfriends 0:54:09.120 --> 0:54:12.080 than me, and far nicer than my mother was. Um 0:54:12.360 --> 0:54:16.239 so no, but it's but you again, when you when 0:54:16.280 --> 0:54:19.800 you know better, you do better. Um and and we 0:54:19.920 --> 0:54:22.400 know better and thank God for it. Think about how 0:54:22.440 --> 0:54:24.719 well adjusted our children are going to be. It'll be 0:54:24.800 --> 0:54:27.400 Father's Day this weekend. So how would you define yourself 0:54:27.440 --> 0:54:31.160 as a father, mister Melvine? Oh, ain't y'all are good 0:54:31.200 --> 0:54:34.440 at this question asking thing? I sometimes forget it's and 0:54:34.440 --> 0:54:36.080 it's also not always fun to be on the other 0:54:36.160 --> 0:54:40.879 side either, tell you that much conversation. Yeah, but still questions, Um, 0:54:41.920 --> 0:54:43.600 how would I That's a good question, Charlot. Let me 0:54:43.800 --> 0:54:46.200 let me think, let me let me actually stop and 0:54:46.280 --> 0:54:48.800 think about my answer before, I just how would I 0:54:48.880 --> 0:54:54.080 describe myself as a father? Permissive? Perhaps too much so 0:54:54.320 --> 0:55:00.520 sometimes um fun I get my kids young, so I 0:55:00.600 --> 0:55:03.239 can you know, we we've a lot of a lot 0:55:03.320 --> 0:55:05.480 of rolling around the floor, a lot of a lot 0:55:05.520 --> 0:55:08.680 of wrestling with my son. I'd also like to think 0:55:08.960 --> 0:55:14.600 Charlemagne has a dad. I listen a lot. I engage 0:55:14.640 --> 0:55:18.919 them in substantive conversations every day, like to to force 0:55:19.000 --> 0:55:20.759 them to think. And I don't want to be my 0:55:20.840 --> 0:55:22.759 kid's best friend. I have no interest in that. Nothing 0:55:22.800 --> 0:55:25.920 good comes from that. Um. But I do want them 0:55:26.640 --> 0:55:29.279 to think that I should be the first call or 0:55:29.400 --> 0:55:33.960 text um when something's wrong or if if if if 0:55:34.040 --> 0:55:36.640 someone has hurt them or they're scared, or if they're 0:55:36.680 --> 0:55:38.800 word I want I want to have that kind of 0:55:38.840 --> 0:55:44.560 relationship with my children, um that we didn't have where 0:55:44.560 --> 0:55:46.319 they can come to me first and not go out 0:55:46.360 --> 0:55:49.960 into the world first. UM. So that's I think that's 0:55:50.040 --> 0:55:51.680 the that's the at least that's the kind of dad 0:55:51.719 --> 0:55:55.239 I'm trying to be. Some days I'm better out than others, 0:55:55.480 --> 0:56:00.480 you know, I answer you yeah, And I actually think 0:56:00.560 --> 0:56:03.000 you know the definition will change. You know, It's true, 0:56:03.040 --> 0:56:04.879 it's gonna change. You got young kids, it's gonna change. 0:56:04.880 --> 0:56:06.759 And they're getting the team. It's gonna you know what 0:56:06.760 --> 0:56:09.160 I mean, it's gonna constantly change, it's gonna constantly evolve. 0:56:09.239 --> 0:56:13.040 So and my dad always say fun, firm and fair. 0:56:13.680 --> 0:56:15.719 That's good. That's that's that. That's what you said. He says, 0:56:15.719 --> 0:56:18.439 I'm fun dad, I'm firm, but I'm fair. But I'm fair, 0:56:18.719 --> 0:56:20.600 and that's what I try to be on my kids. 0:56:20.840 --> 0:56:22.640 I think it's a great book. So go get my 0:56:22.719 --> 0:56:25.719 man Craig Melbourne's book, Pops Learning to Be a Son 0:56:25.840 --> 0:56:28.839 and a Father. It is the perfect Father's Day gift. 0:56:28.920 --> 0:56:31.760 This should be. And everybody's about to say Father's Day stockings. 0:56:31.800 --> 0:56:33.680 It's no father days. There should be though, there should 0:56:33.680 --> 0:56:36.279 be Father's Day stock so we should start that. That's right. 0:56:36.280 --> 0:56:38.160 It's a great Father's Day gift for the weekend. Man, 0:56:38.320 --> 0:56:39.920 go get that.

Now, 1:03:44.320 --> 1:03:46.800 the other day, I told y'all on this radio, how 1:03:46.880 --> 1:03:49.480 I had a dream. No, let me rephrase. I had 1:03:49.520 --> 1:03:52.480 a nightmare that I was cheating on my wife, and 1:03:52.560 --> 1:03:54.800 in the nightmare, I felt the guilt, so I stopped. 1:03:54.840 --> 1:03:56.360 And then when I woke up the next morning, my 1:03:56.440 --> 1:03:58.600 wife said to me that she had a dream that 1:03:58.720 --> 1:04:00.480 I cheated on her and she woke up wanting to 1:04:00.600 --> 1:04:02.600 ff me up. When you got a soul tied with 1:04:02.680 --> 1:04:05.720 a person, y'all are really connected SYNCD up like your 1:04:05.720 --> 1:04:08.760 smartphone with a bluetooth. That's me and my wife. Well, 1:04:08.840 --> 1:04:10.560 my wife said she felt like she wanted to ff 1:04:10.720 --> 1:04:15.800 me up because of her dream. Alexis Tally actually fed 1:04:15.880 --> 1:04:20.120 her girlfriend up because of the dream. Okay, because of 1:04:20.200 --> 1:04:22.240 the dream her girlfriend was having. Oh how I wish 1:04:22.320 --> 1:04:24.120 there was a news report for this one, but allow 1:04:24.200 --> 1:04:26.200 me to read you the details off the smoking gun. 1:04:26.600 --> 1:04:29.800 Police responded the calls from a neighbor who said they 1:04:29.840 --> 1:04:33.560 could hear a fight taking place. When authorities arrived at 1:04:33.560 --> 1:04:36.440 the scene, the twenty one year old victim said she 1:04:36.640 --> 1:04:41.640 was awoken after Alexis Tally claimed to hear her sleep 1:04:41.760 --> 1:04:45.640 talking about an X. I'm not making this up. Okay. 1:04:45.680 --> 1:04:47.840 If you're thinking, what the f please think what the 1:04:47.920 --> 1:04:51.240 Florida Alexis Tally started beating on her girlfriend and her 1:04:51.360 --> 1:04:56.720 sleep because she thought she heard her girlfriend sleep talking 1:04:57.160 --> 1:05:01.280 about an X. A call to the arrest report, Alexis 1:05:01.280 --> 1:05:03.800 started punching the victim in the face after waking her, 1:05:03.880 --> 1:05:05.920 and cops noted that she had a visible swelling to 1:05:05.960 --> 1:05:07.400 the right side of her face. Now, when they say 1:05:07.400 --> 1:05:10.360 Alexis woke her up, was it what the punch are before? 1:05:11.440 --> 1:05:14.360 Now I'm gonna shoot Alexis a little bell that slang. 1:05:14.400 --> 1:05:15.840 By the way, I'm not giving her no money towards 1:05:15.880 --> 1:05:18.640 the bell. I'm just talking about a hypothetical about the situation. 1:05:18.760 --> 1:05:23.120 I'm almost positive that if I mentioned another woman that 1:05:23.160 --> 1:05:25.840 I was involved with while I was in a deep slumber, 1:05:25.920 --> 1:05:28.120 I too would get punched in the face. What about you, envy, 1:05:28.240 --> 1:05:32.400 I concur not justifying what alex did, just saying that 1:05:32.840 --> 1:05:35.760 as Florida as this sounds, this might garner the same 1:05:35.880 --> 1:05:38.600 reaction in any state. I mean, my wife woke up 1:05:38.640 --> 1:05:40.200 wanting to f me up because of a dream she 1:05:40.320 --> 1:05:42.360 had that I was doing something. Imagine, and she would 1:05:42.360 --> 1:05:44.400 have woke up to me calling out the name of 1:05:44.560 --> 1:05:47.640 some other woman I dealt with, my god, jee. This 1:05:47.840 --> 1:05:49.880 is why hot gritz used to get thrown on brothers 1:05:49.960 --> 1:05:52.920 in the sixties and seventies. Okay, yeah, Granddaddy got a 1:05:52.920 --> 1:05:54.640 scar right now on his back from that hot grits 1:05:54.680 --> 1:06:00.680 because he too was saying somebody else's name in his sleep. Okay. 1:06:00.760 --> 1:06:03.520 Muhammad Ali once said, if you even dream of beating me, 1:06:03.840 --> 1:06:06.520 you'd better wake up and apologize. Same rules apply with 1:06:06.600 --> 1:06:10.040 your significant other. Okay, just change beating the cheating.

Alexis was arrested for domestic 1:06:17.200 --> 1:06:19.520 battery and has maintained that their argument was only verbal, 1:06:19.720 --> 1:06:24.080 verbal rather than physical. She told the officers. She told 1:06:24.120 --> 1:06:27.000 the officers that the mark on her girlfriend's face was 1:06:27.080 --> 1:06:33.640 from a previous fight. That's not funny. It's not funny. 1:06:33.680 --> 1:06:37.400 But it's Florida. It's Florida, Okay, she told the police. 1:06:37.480 --> 1:06:39.840 Not the fight that was reported to the police. That 1:06:39.920 --> 1:06:42.800 was last week. It was from another fight. Its basically 1:06:42.840 --> 1:06:44.600 been the officer of That mark on her face wasn't 1:06:44.640 --> 1:06:46.200 from when I beat her this time.

Hello, who's this? Maya's Bossbury. I'm from 1:14:07.280 --> 1:14:11.479 Houston Takes. Hey, what's your question for you? Okay, So 1:14:11.800 --> 1:14:15.839 I'm twenty three years old. I'm very successful. I'm a teacher, 1:14:16.479 --> 1:14:19.720 but I'm having a hard time, you know, finding a 1:14:19.880 --> 1:14:23.920 significant other. I don't know if they're intimidated by me 1:14:24.160 --> 1:14:29.200 because I'm successful, but I'm having a hard time. All right, 1:14:29.280 --> 1:14:30.800 So what are you what are you doing to try 1:14:30.840 --> 1:14:34.519 to actually find somebody that you want to be with? Well, 1:14:34.760 --> 1:14:38.679 I'm like on dating apps, but they're not really accurate 1:14:38.760 --> 1:14:41.240 all the time because some man, these guys don't really 1:14:41.280 --> 1:14:46.160 have jobs there with their moms. So what dating apps 1:14:46.160 --> 1:14:49.920 are you want? There's this one on Facebook, and there's 1:14:50.080 --> 1:14:55.840 one like called bumble, and then there's pins. I don't 1:14:55.840 --> 1:14:58.080 want a lot, all right, Yeah, I enjoy Bumbo and 1:14:58.160 --> 1:15:01.240 I enjoy Facebook. I actually use bumbo is And I 1:15:01.320 --> 1:15:03.160 want to say a couple of things. Do you go 1:15:03.280 --> 1:15:06.040 out in person to ever meet people? As well? Um, 1:15:06.280 --> 1:15:09.400 not lately because it doesn't really like nobody wants to 1:15:09.520 --> 1:15:11.640 go on a date. But you don't have to go 1:15:11.760 --> 1:15:13.479 on a date. But do you go out, like, do 1:15:13.600 --> 1:15:16.439 you have friends who you go out with sometimes in 1:15:16.479 --> 1:15:19.920 a casual environment and group settings? Do your friends know 1:15:20.000 --> 1:15:22.280 you're looking? Are they trying to hook you up with 1:15:22.400 --> 1:15:26.920 some of their friends? Yeah? They know. I have had 1:15:27.000 --> 1:15:30.799 a friend trying to feel with someone before. Because sometimes 1:15:30.840 --> 1:15:32.960 you have to be open to things, like you have 1:15:33.080 --> 1:15:35.360 to be out there. You have to start conversations with people. 1:15:35.400 --> 1:15:39.040 You have to be in places where it's a social atmosphere. 1:15:39.200 --> 1:15:42.400 Sometimes even just going out and taking a class and 1:15:42.479 --> 1:15:45.280 something that interests you. In moving out of your comfort zone. 1:15:45.280 --> 1:15:47.240 I think it's really important when it comes to dating. 1:15:47.560 --> 1:15:49.679 A lot of times we get comfortable with just swiping 1:15:49.760 --> 1:15:52.280 and we're not out there living our life. And sometimes 1:15:52.360 --> 1:15:54.840 when you take some classes, or you go certain places, 1:15:54.960 --> 1:15:56.400 or you do certain things, you meet people who have 1:15:56.439 --> 1:15:59.479 similar interest too. So like what would you say, a 1:15:59.520 --> 1:16:03.400 good meet a good guy. I think if you go 1:16:03.479 --> 1:16:05.880 to like certain like mixers, if there's any events that 1:16:06.000 --> 1:16:07.920 you can go to, or some type of after work 1:16:08.680 --> 1:16:12.720 social activities, things like that are really good. I try 1:16:12.760 --> 1:16:14.640 to make sure that I speak to people wherever I go, 1:16:14.760 --> 1:16:16.640 like if I'm at home depot, if I'm in the 1:16:16.680 --> 1:16:19.760 Apple store. You know, just be friendly. And sometimes just 1:16:19.920 --> 1:16:25.400 even having that type of persona brings more energy to you. Okay, well, 1:16:25.400 --> 1:16:28.080 I always trying to like to be like to let 1:16:28.160 --> 1:16:31.360 them come to me. But it's not even about being thirsty, 1:16:31.560 --> 1:16:33.000 you know what I'm saying. That's the issue, Like you 1:16:33.040 --> 1:16:35.479 don't have to look at everybody as your potential mate. 1:16:35.800 --> 1:16:38.160 Sometimes you just have to go out and enjoy meeting 1:16:38.240 --> 1:16:40.600 people and knowing people. They could be a friend, you 1:16:40.680 --> 1:16:42.760 could never see them again. But you don't have to 1:16:42.840 --> 1:16:45.760 put so much pressure on yourself to find your significant other. 1:16:46.000 --> 1:16:47.880 What you're trying to do is meet people who could 1:16:48.160 --> 1:16:50.200 play some type of part in your life or maybe 1:16:50.320 --> 1:16:53.760 just you know, have a nice social interaction. But it 1:16:53.840 --> 1:16:55.800 doesn't have to be is that person going to be 1:16:55.880 --> 1:17:00.160 the one? Right? Well, I'll try to thank you who. 1:17:00.240 --> 1:17:04.400 I love ya, you guys, So it's amazing every morning. 1:17:04.960 --> 1:17:07.960 You guys are awesome. All right. I feel good about 1:17:07.960 --> 1:17:10.600 it done, and I'm happy for you that you are 1:17:10.640 --> 1:17:13.000 such a self sufficient person. But I do feel like, 1:17:13.560 --> 1:17:15.640 you know, sometimes we have to get out of our 1:17:15.640 --> 1:17:17.719 own way. Sometimes it's also the energy that we're putting 1:17:17.760 --> 1:17:19.880 out there. So just go out there, don't put so 1:17:20.000 --> 1:17:22.560 much pressure on yourself. You're still really young and you 1:17:22.680 --> 1:17:26.080 have time and things can change in one day. You 1:17:26.160 --> 1:17:29.000 never know what can happen. So yeah, shout out to 1:17:29.080 --> 1:17:31.479 all the young bosses. I just bought a house and 1:17:31.520 --> 1:17:37.320 I'm getting my man.

We'll 1:18:01.240 --> 1:18:04.559 tell you who it is what, all right, we'll get 1:18:04.600 --> 1:18:06.880 into that next.

Well, this new 1:18:23.439 --> 1:18:27.040 documentary that's coming looks like it's going to be amazing 1:18:27.840 --> 1:18:30.600 and it is about Rick James, is revealed by his 1:18:30.680 --> 1:18:33.719 former manager Kerry Gordy. It's a new documentary called Bitching, 1:18:34.160 --> 1:18:37.040 The Sound and Fury of Rick James and premiere Tuesday 1:18:37.120 --> 1:18:39.840 night at the Tribeca Film Festival. It is available to 1:18:39.920 --> 1:18:42.639 stream on Trybeck at home starting now. You gotta pay 1:18:42.720 --> 1:18:45.840 for it, but it'll be on showtime later on in 1:18:45.920 --> 1:18:48.439 September just at FYI if you want to wait for that. 1:18:48.600 --> 1:18:50.599 But it sounds too amazing, I might have to pay 1:18:50.680 --> 1:18:53.000 for this one and watch it and not wait till 1:18:53.000 --> 1:18:55.400 September third on Showtime. But some of the things that 1:18:55.600 --> 1:18:59.639 is revealed in the documentary, they said that actually Rick 1:18:59.720 --> 1:19:03.000 James really helped Lionel Richie's career and the reason why 1:19:03.439 --> 1:19:07.880 this happened is because Rick James was frustrated by disappointing 1:19:07.920 --> 1:19:10.080 sales for his album Throwing Down that came out in 1:19:10.200 --> 1:19:12.679 nineteen eighty two and the tour, so he went into 1:19:12.720 --> 1:19:15.960 the office of then Motown president Jay Lasker. He was 1:19:16.040 --> 1:19:19.040 delivering his next album, and he started to pour coke 1:19:19.160 --> 1:19:22.280 onto the desk. He snorted it, jumped on top of 1:19:22.360 --> 1:19:24.640 the desk, took out his penis and shoved it in 1:19:25.160 --> 1:19:30.320 Lasker's face while yelling, sell my goddamn record. You know 1:19:30.360 --> 1:19:33.080 what's crazy? That story sounds nuts until you say it's 1:19:33.120 --> 1:19:38.000 Rick James. And when you tease it earlier, I was 1:19:38.040 --> 1:19:40.599 like what. But when you say it's Rick James, I'm like, okay, 1:19:41.400 --> 1:19:43.760 de ventures are Rick James. That's Rick James. Now. Just 1:19:43.880 --> 1:19:46.519 so you know this, Kerry Gordy is the eldest son 1:19:46.600 --> 1:19:49.080 of Barry Gordy who founded Motown, so he's the person 1:19:49.120 --> 1:19:51.960 who's announcing all of this and kind of making sure 1:19:52.000 --> 1:19:54.479 that we get all of these amazing stories. There's one 1:19:54.520 --> 1:19:56.560 surprise that comes early in the movie. It's revealed that 1:19:56.640 --> 1:19:59.000 in the beginning of his music career, he fled to 1:19:59.160 --> 1:20:01.559 Toronto to a escape the navy, and he went by 1:20:01.560 --> 1:20:04.160 the name of Ricky Matthews. So he was an abandon 1:20:04.280 --> 1:20:07.000 with Neil Young back then in the sixties band until 1:20:07.040 --> 1:20:10.080 their manager actually dimed him out for deserting it and 1:20:10.200 --> 1:20:13.280 he ended up in trouble for that. Now here's the 1:20:13.360 --> 1:20:18.240 trailer for that documentary. He found Parliament, Bootsie, all these people. 1:20:18.560 --> 1:20:22.040 They were kind of looking at Rick sideways because he 1:20:22.240 --> 1:20:26.760 had learned how to craft pop with funk, and so 1:20:27.400 --> 1:20:30.479 he hit the big time faster than they did. Rick 1:20:30.640 --> 1:20:33.120 was the smartest one out of all of us. He 1:20:33.240 --> 1:20:35.880 sold a lot of records. People came to the concerts, 1:20:36.000 --> 1:20:38.200 and you know, he used to talk about, Yeah, I'm 1:20:38.240 --> 1:20:41.439 sello more records, and y'all, I think George took offense 1:20:41.640 --> 1:20:44.519 a little bit, but all was fair and funk and 1:20:44.600 --> 1:20:48.760 war man. He sounds like a character. And if you 1:20:48.840 --> 1:20:50.600 hear some of these stories, and you know, that's what 1:20:50.760 --> 1:20:52.560 made Lionel Richie as big as he did because the 1:20:52.640 --> 1:20:55.760 label decided to push Lionel Richie after Rick James did 1:20:55.840 --> 1:20:57.920 that stump with the cocaine and taking out his penis. 1:20:58.000 --> 1:21:01.240 They said the president was just like O Richie. That's 1:21:01.240 --> 1:21:03.280 all he said when he left the office. In other words, 1:21:03.920 --> 1:21:06.479 that's who we're going to be concerned about now. They 1:21:06.560 --> 1:21:08.960 also said that even though he was a very freaky guy, 1:21:09.640 --> 1:21:12.320 he had his own limits. His sexual exploit to him. 1:21:12.360 --> 1:21:14.200 More you do that to that person, let me watch, 1:21:14.320 --> 1:21:17.120 I want to orchestrate. According to his ex wife, he 1:21:17.320 --> 1:21:19.760 wasn't personally involved. He was not that kind of super freak. 1:21:19.800 --> 1:21:21.960 He didn't let people touch him. He wasn't like in 1:21:22.080 --> 1:21:25.679 the Orgy. He would watch the Origin. He's a director. Yeah, 1:21:25.800 --> 1:21:28.040 more like that. Yeah. By the way, Showtime be getting 1:21:28.080 --> 1:21:30.599 all the great docs from all of the black legends. 1:21:30.720 --> 1:21:33.840 You know, they got as Teddy pendagrass. They got a 1:21:33.880 --> 1:21:37.799 degregory documentary coming as well too. So flew to Showtime. 1:21:38.960 --> 1:21:41.879 All right. Now, Wendy Williams is talking about the Foxy 1:21:41.960 --> 1:21:45.080 Brown book, and she's spilling some tea that we don't 1:21:45.120 --> 1:21:47.639 know is really true. Now, my girl kime out. Sorry, 1:21:47.680 --> 1:21:50.880 I was writing Foxy Brown's memoir and can't wait to 1:21:50.920 --> 1:21:54.280 read it. Yes, that memoir is coming out in December. 1:21:54.479 --> 1:21:57.639 Here is what Wendy Williams said. I remember when Foxy 1:21:57.680 --> 1:22:03.080 and jay Z had um I'll be okay. Foxy was 1:22:03.160 --> 1:22:05.400 the star of that. Jay Z was standing in the 1:22:05.479 --> 1:22:08.360 corner ringing his hands, talking about okay, all right, what 1:22:08.479 --> 1:22:10.840 do I do next? And then you know this was 1:22:11.160 --> 1:22:14.759 allegedly a romantical thing. It's it's all right, I'll say alleged, 1:22:14.800 --> 1:22:17.360 but we know, we know, yeah she hit it before. 1:22:17.600 --> 1:22:23.479 Beyonce aged you can't yeah, oh she added the allegedly. 1:22:23.520 --> 1:22:25.120 I was like, you cannot just say that, Yeah, you 1:22:25.160 --> 1:22:27.960 can't not alleged you was dead and you saw off 1:22:27.960 --> 1:22:30.040 for yourself. If not, you got to say allegedly, because 1:22:30.600 --> 1:22:33.719 you know, that's that's definitely not all of its defamation. 1:22:33.800 --> 1:22:36.120 But it's definitely how liable for that because it's not 1:22:36.160 --> 1:22:42.880 true about Foxy Brown's hair loss, because she started talking 1:22:43.400 --> 1:22:46.439 hearing loss, because she started talking about how she wants 1:22:46.439 --> 1:22:49.040 her to um, how how she's going to figure out 1:22:49.040 --> 1:22:51.160 how to do an audio version of the memoir. That's 1:22:51.240 --> 1:22:53.320 not cool. Oh my god, I can't wait to read 1:22:53.320 --> 1:22:55.160 the book. Though, because I'm sure Foxy got a great 1:22:55.160 --> 1:22:58.080 story and she got the legendary Kimmel Sorry right and 1:22:58.120 --> 1:23:01.439 if with her two for her oh Man. Randomly, when 1:23:01.439 --> 1:23:03.680 I was at Carolines that night where Wendy and Miss 1:23:03.760 --> 1:23:06.920 Jones are there, Chemosario was with me also that night, 1:23:07.240 --> 1:23:10.160 coy ran into her. All right now. Paris Jackson was 1:23:10.240 --> 1:23:12.200 on Red Table Talk and she did sit down an 1:23:12.200 --> 1:23:15.200 interview with just Willow Smith and she was talking about 1:23:15.200 --> 1:23:17.800 a lot of different things. She was talking about her 1:23:17.880 --> 1:23:21.120 past attempts to end her own life and what helped 1:23:21.120 --> 1:23:23.880 her break out of that mentality, and the two of 1:23:23.920 --> 1:23:26.200 them just really had a really great, in depth conversation. 1:23:26.280 --> 1:23:30.720 She talked about her PTSD from paparazzi, experienced audio hallucinations 1:23:30.760 --> 1:23:34.240 sometimes with Chemera clicks and severe paranoia, and have been 1:23:34.280 --> 1:23:36.160 going to therapy for a lot of things, but that 1:23:36.280 --> 1:23:39.960 included and I've started I'll hear like a trash bag 1:23:40.040 --> 1:23:42.360 rustling and I like flinch and panic. Is that from 1:23:42.360 --> 1:23:46.320 the paparazzi? Yeah, I think it's just like just standard PTSD. 1:23:48.200 --> 1:23:51.040 That's awful. She also talked about her field suicide attempts. 1:23:51.040 --> 1:23:54.439 Here's what she said, Well, do you feel regret when 1:23:54.479 --> 1:23:57.439 they try and attempt suicide, like a last minute regret. 1:23:57.800 --> 1:23:59.559 There have been times where I did and times when 1:23:59.560 --> 1:24:02.080 I didn't, where I was upset that it didn't work. Yeah, 1:24:02.479 --> 1:24:04.840 but I can't say, like several years later that like 1:24:05.000 --> 1:24:10.160 I'm really grateful that it didn't. Lord definitely sending healing 1:24:10.800 --> 1:24:13.280 Paris jack Absolutely. She said every day people told her 1:24:13.320 --> 1:24:17.880 to kill herself. What do you mean? And social media? Yeah, 1:24:19.560 --> 1:24:21.280 all right. In addition to that, she talked about how 1:24:21.360 --> 1:24:23.599 she feels like her dad, Michael Jackson, would be proud. 1:24:23.920 --> 1:24:26.560 I just feel like you've done such a beautiful and 1:24:26.800 --> 1:24:31.360 graceful job of doing your own thing. Because kids like 1:24:31.520 --> 1:24:33.439 us do we feel like we have to live up 1:24:33.479 --> 1:24:36.400 to this certain standard. I feel like it's still probably 1:24:36.479 --> 1:24:38.960 there somewhere in the back of my head. But the 1:24:39.120 --> 1:24:41.880 louder thing that competes is that I feel like my 1:24:42.000 --> 1:24:46.200 dad would be proud. Yeah, I'm sure you wouldn't be. 1:24:46.240 --> 1:24:48.120 Thank God for therapy. I hope that she's, you know, 1:24:48.280 --> 1:24:50.880 doing the work to get a handle on all of 1:24:50.920 --> 1:24:53.720 that type of all that trauma she's dealing with. Well, 1:24:53.760 --> 1:24:55.639 at the end of this Paris Jackson and Billis Smith 1:24:55.640 --> 1:24:58.679 actually went to the studio and did some music together. 1:24:58.760 --> 1:25:01.040 You saw they talked about they said, let's go do 1:25:01.160 --> 1:25:02.680 some music. Should we just go to the studio, And 1:25:02.720 --> 1:25:05.160 then they were pictures of them together in the studio. 1:25:05.400 --> 1:25:08.200 But she did say the music does help her, all right, 1:25:08.280 --> 1:25:10.640 And that is your rumor report, all right. Shout out 1:25:10.680 --> 1:25:12.760 to revolt everybody else to mixes up next. Today is 1:25:12.800 --> 1:25:16.000 Kendrick Lamar's birthday, so let's get on legend, the leader 1:25:16.040 --> 1:25:19.439 of the New School last decade.

We are the 1:25:45.200 --> 1:25:47.360 Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line 1:25:47.400 --> 1:25:51.120 this morning, a couple of brothers. We have Thomas George Junior. 1:25:51.200 --> 1:25:53.720 He's the chairman of the board for one hundred Black 1:25:53.800 --> 1:25:57.040 men of America Incorporated. And also we have oldest threat 1:25:57.160 --> 1:25:59.840 joining us this morning. Good morning, guys, Good morning. How's everything. 1:26:00.360 --> 1:26:04.799 That's mamas, it's a wonderful sunny day here in Atlanta, Georgia. 1:26:05.200 --> 1:26:08.280 No complaints now for people that don't know what is 1:26:08.560 --> 1:26:11.680 the organization? One hundred Black Men of America, and y'all 1:26:11.680 --> 1:26:15.120 got way more than a hundred Black men. So let's 1:26:15.160 --> 1:26:17.080 bread around and let's break down the name of what 1:26:17.160 --> 1:26:20.599 your brothers do for the community. Well, we have thousands 1:26:20.640 --> 1:26:24.000 of members. We actually got our start our first chapter 1:26:24.120 --> 1:26:26.800 in New York nineteen sixty three, founded by the late 1:26:26.920 --> 1:26:32.479 Jackie Robinson, the late mayor David Dinkins Edison Wingate. But 1:26:32.720 --> 1:26:35.719 the key is they came together in sixty three dealing 1:26:35.720 --> 1:26:37.920 with some of the same missus we're dealing with today, 1:26:38.320 --> 1:26:40.840 and it was dealing with public safety. And at that 1:26:41.000 --> 1:26:44.360 time sixty three, black police officers could not arrest white 1:26:44.439 --> 1:26:47.599 citizens unless they had a white police officer with them. 1:26:47.640 --> 1:26:49.960 And on this particular day at sixty three, one of 1:26:50.000 --> 1:26:52.879 our brothers was at the scene of the crime arrested 1:26:53.000 --> 1:26:56.400 the white citizen. And there was the level or the department, 1:26:56.439 --> 1:26:59.240 and so all of these men came together. They changed 1:26:59.280 --> 1:27:02.080 the paradigm in the Public Safety Department in New York. 1:27:02.400 --> 1:27:04.840 And at the end of the year, the question was 1:27:04.880 --> 1:27:07.439 what we stayed together? They said yes. So the next 1:27:07.520 --> 1:27:11.120 courtion was what shall we call ourselves? And David Dinkins said, 1:27:11.160 --> 1:27:13.920 we'll call ourselves who we are? One hundred black men. 1:27:14.520 --> 1:27:17.400 That gave rise to one hundred Black men incorporated in 1:27:17.520 --> 1:27:20.759 New York. And in nineteen eighty six, with nine chapters, 1:27:20.840 --> 1:27:23.880 we came together and created one hundred Black Men of America. 1:27:24.280 --> 1:27:28.080 Today we have one hundred and three chapters. We're in Africa, England, 1:27:28.160 --> 1:27:31.599 the Caribbean Islands, over one hundred and twenty five thousand 1:27:31.720 --> 1:27:34.639 young people that are mentoring program at about eight thousand 1:27:34.800 --> 1:27:37.560 members who make a difference. And so what we do 1:27:37.920 --> 1:27:41.160 is our whole motto is what they see is what 1:27:41.280 --> 1:27:44.880 they'll be. And we're real men given real time, and 1:27:45.160 --> 1:27:47.880 of course we have what is for for the future. 1:27:48.040 --> 1:27:52.439 Everything we do must fit in those four categories education, mentoring, 1:27:52.800 --> 1:27:56.600 health and wellness, and economic empowerment with an overlay of 1:27:56.720 --> 1:28:02.080 leadership development. And the organization is moving and we are 1:28:02.640 --> 1:28:06.240 really real men who are investing the time all over. 1:28:06.360 --> 1:28:11.280 We got everybody from professional athletes, retired to athletes, corporate execs, 1:28:11.640 --> 1:28:14.559 you know, Kim Chernald, all of these people have been 1:28:14.640 --> 1:28:17.760 a part of this great organization making a difference. So 1:28:18.160 --> 1:28:21.160 what's the overall theme this year's conference. Well, the thing 1:28:21.240 --> 1:28:24.000 for this year's conference, oldis why don't you just lay 1:28:24.080 --> 1:28:27.080 that on this year's time to act. We didn't come 1:28:27.120 --> 1:28:36.000 to see you here. It's time to act, adapt again, 1:28:36.200 --> 1:28:39.760 challenge and triumph. And that basically is that we can't 1:28:39.800 --> 1:28:43.320 be sitting on the sidelines. Those who have not been 1:28:43.400 --> 1:28:46.160 to sit on the sideline and just watch what's going on. 1:28:46.760 --> 1:28:49.680 They've got to be engaged, got to be inbobed. We 1:28:49.840 --> 1:28:53.040 got to fight to win. And then of course we've 1:28:53.040 --> 1:28:56.280 got to challenge those issues, even as we did when 1:28:56.479 --> 1:29:00.479 the previous president wanted to divide this name and the 1:29:00.720 --> 1:29:03.880 issue of racism, we were right there dealing with it then. 1:29:04.040 --> 1:29:06.640 And the last thing that is that whole issue on 1:29:06.760 --> 1:29:11.080 COVID nineteen and with this challenge, is that we cannot 1:29:11.240 --> 1:29:15.400 continue to spread the myths. I got my second vaccine 1:29:15.479 --> 1:29:18.800 shot four months ago, fights and no side effects. But 1:29:18.880 --> 1:29:22.439 if you've had almost six hundred thousand people to die 1:29:22.600 --> 1:29:26.400 from this virus, why would you be afraid of maybe 1:29:26.560 --> 1:29:31.760 two days of discomfort if you have two days understanding 1:29:31.880 --> 1:29:34.559 because you're black. And that's the other myth black people 1:29:34.600 --> 1:29:38.320 don't get. Don't get COVID nineteen. Look at how many 1:29:38.360 --> 1:29:41.559 of our people have died. We've been leading the number 1:29:41.560 --> 1:29:44.280 of deaths in this nation a lot because of precondition. 1:29:44.400 --> 1:29:46.640 But the key for us is that we've got to 1:29:46.720 --> 1:29:48.680 step up. We got to stand up and we got 1:29:48.800 --> 1:29:51.080 to act. Just as we also have to deal with 1:29:51.560 --> 1:29:55.000 the whole political arena while we are in the impartisan. 1:29:55.320 --> 1:29:57.479 If you look at the efforts that took place and 1:29:57.640 --> 1:30:01.479 right here in Georgia, the one hundred was engaged with 1:30:01.640 --> 1:30:05.680 the Divine Nine, engaged with NACP and everybody, and we 1:30:05.880 --> 1:30:10.000 delivered like never before on the elections for the first 1:30:10.040 --> 1:30:14.439 African American US Senator. And of course we made the 1:30:14.640 --> 1:30:17.960 cat the decisive of votes that helped us to get 1:30:18.040 --> 1:30:20.840 this country back on track. I was gonna ask, you know, 1:30:20.920 --> 1:30:23.479 the conference is virtual, why is it still virtual? Now? 1:30:23.720 --> 1:30:25.800 The world's over? Back up now? And then you are 1:30:25.880 --> 1:30:27.960 in Atlanta, and Atlanta has been open for a long time. 1:30:28.040 --> 1:30:33.519 Now people are still dying, and so dj MB to 1:30:33.720 --> 1:30:36.639 say it's over, you know, for example, here in Georgia, 1:30:36.720 --> 1:30:40.840 we've only had forty of our population to get the vaccine. 1:30:41.360 --> 1:30:43.599 And I hear black folks talking about why I prayed 1:30:43.640 --> 1:30:45.960 to God, God's gonna protect me. I said, God sent 1:30:46.080 --> 1:30:47.920 you the vaccine, why don't you go ahead and take it. 1:30:48.439 --> 1:30:51.519 People are still being infected, people are still dying. Black 1:30:51.560 --> 1:30:54.479 folks still having the big parties with three and four 1:30:54.520 --> 1:30:57.120 and five hundred people in them with no mask on 1:30:57.600 --> 1:31:01.519 and not taking the vaccine. And all of my children 1:31:01.600 --> 1:31:04.320 have had the vaccine. Three of my grandchildren have had it, 1:31:04.479 --> 1:31:06.680 and my others are about to get it now that 1:31:06.720 --> 1:31:10.760 they've lured the age. So the reality is not over yet. 1:31:11.320 --> 1:31:16.080 And so we're gonna error on the car being cautious. 1:31:16.439 --> 1:31:19.680 Were expect to be back next year, but until we do, 1:31:20.560 --> 1:31:23.360 we're gonna go virtual. This last time. We decided in 1:31:23.520 --> 1:31:26.200 March we would not do it in person because you know, 1:31:26.520 --> 1:31:29.479 some of our members are older, and so we're working 1:31:29.520 --> 1:31:32.160 to get people to get the vaccine. But next year 1:31:32.200 --> 1:31:34.519 we'll be ready, but we're not gonna rush to kill 1:31:34.600 --> 1:31:39.600 anybody infect anybody with us happening. You laying down that 1:31:39.720 --> 1:31:43.280 great entertainment On Friday last year, we had over eleven 1:31:43.360 --> 1:31:47.200 thousand on line with us for the conference and we're 1:31:47.280 --> 1:31:49.439 going to try and meet or exceed that this year. 1:31:49.560 --> 1:31:53.240 But the bottom line is we'd rather be safe and 1:31:53.360 --> 1:31:58.160 we'll get back together when we get this totally under control. 1:31:58.920 --> 1:32:01.240 How did they sign up?
