Speaker 1: sprinter van under the table for the lower That's not

Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Man, All right, man, we'll get
Speaker 1: it off your chest. The Breakfast Club, Good morning, the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. I think within the first day Will's company, Westbrook,
Speaker 1: they hit him up and you know, they were like,
Speaker 1: we want to, you know, talk with you and develop
Speaker 1: this thing. And you know, I think a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks after that, he was sitting with Will and he
Speaker 1: was talking about, you know, where we want to take
Speaker 1: this story, and uh, you know, years down the line
Speaker 1: here we are totally different tone, totally different tones. Break
Speaker 1: that down, Break down if people haven't seen the show.
Speaker 1: The differences between what we've seen as a kid, Fresh
Speaker 1: Prince of bel Air. Yeah, well, you know, bel Lair
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two version is a dramatic retelling of the
Speaker 1: Fresh Prince of bell Lair, the quintessential nineties sitcom, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's all the characters that we know and love,
Speaker 1: but basically we get to dive deep into who they
Speaker 1: are and the actual stories that are going on in
Speaker 1: their lives, and uh, you know, it's a it's a
Speaker 1: modern day retelling of the Fresh Prince of bel Air basically,
Speaker 1: and um, and when you think of the story, you
Speaker 1: know are our showrunner TJ. Brady He said it perfectly.
Speaker 1: He was like, we all know the story of the Joker,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But when we see juan
Speaker 1: Kie Phoenix do what he was doing, it was like,
Speaker 1: did you really think about it? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And so like we get to see the story, we
Speaker 1: get to see how Will ends up in bell Lair,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be super exciting for like old fans
Speaker 1: and new fans and man, it's it's been crazy to
Speaker 1: love around the project. Did you were you afraid to
Speaker 1: turn something that I guess what was so happy? So
Speaker 1: I would call it bright. I'll call fred Fritzi Belle bright.
Speaker 1: Would you were you afraid to turn something like that dark? Nah?
Speaker 1: I wasn't afraid of it, um, because when I had
Speaker 1: seen Morgan's trailer, I was like, oh, I get it,
Speaker 1: I get it, and I was like watch that, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? And so I think it's I
Speaker 1: think it's important because it's a reflection of our world,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And I think, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's important to see that. How hands Olin was
Speaker 1: Will Smith during the taping and all life, I always
Speaker 1: say this, it was it was great that he wasn't
Speaker 1: because he really gave us. He really left the our
Speaker 1: retelling and our creation of these characters to our own volition,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And so that allowed us
Speaker 1: to create these, you know, characters that ourselves are in,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He didn't have his thumb
Speaker 1: on it, hella, you know what I mean, And so
Speaker 1: I feel like that's what I appreciated about him. But
Speaker 1: you know, he definitely gave us a lot of tips.
Speaker 1: What about the other characters calledton and call them any
Speaker 1: of them coming on and said or did yeah, we
Speaker 1: we have to, we have to. We had a few
Speaker 1: talks with the original cast, so it was definitely a
Speaker 1: blessing to to get their blessing. Then to see that
Speaker 1: that torch passed, you know what I mean. I always
Speaker 1: wanted to, you know, if and I would love to
Speaker 1: ask world this, but maybe he told you. I wonder
Speaker 1: what he had played that character differently now because you know, oh,
Speaker 1: he's older now, and he always said that back then
Speaker 1: he was he would pretending to be somebody he wasn't, right.
Speaker 1: I wonder what he played at approached that character different now. Definitely, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel you know, like when he when he was,
Speaker 1: you know, doing the fresh Friend's thing, he had no
Speaker 1: acting shops. Yeah, you know what I mean, and so
Speaker 1: he was just kind of up there just trying to
Speaker 1: figure it out. And uh, I definitely think knowing what
Speaker 1: he knows now, it definitely would have been different, but
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been as raw. So you got acting shops,
Speaker 1: so you weren't doing what willcams but he said will
Speaker 1: you used to be saying everybody. It was a little
Speaker 1: different for me. It was a little different for me
Speaker 1: because I was a theater actor, so this is my
Speaker 1: first time being in front of a camera, in front
Speaker 1: of a forty person you know, camera crew. And uh
Speaker 1: and so that was definitely a learning curve for sure.
Speaker 1: How did this go to you? Just? You know, I
Speaker 1: just sent to him my audition, you know, with I had,
Speaker 1: I had a manager, had an agent that I got
Speaker 1: through a showcase, and uh, you know, they sent me
Speaker 1: the call. They were like, yo, there's this show called
Speaker 1: bell Lair and for this character Will. And I was like,
Speaker 1: hold on bella Will. Now I saw the call and
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, okay, I could do this. I
Speaker 1: knew it was me. I just had to prove to
Speaker 1: everybody else. But I thought that they wanted like a
Speaker 1: big name, you know what I mean. I thought that
Speaker 1: they wanted somebody who was recognizable to everybody else. And
Speaker 1: so I was like, I don't know how I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get this role, but you know what I mean, I
Speaker 1: just had to surrender to the whole process. And uh.
Speaker 1: And so I sent him my call and uh and
Speaker 1: a couple of a couple of weeks down the line.
Speaker 1: What did you have to do on that first tape?
Speaker 1: Do you remember? Yeah, it was a couple It was
Speaker 1: a couple of scenes. No I have to wrap no, no,
Speaker 1: I just uh, I just uh it was it was
Speaker 1: a couple of scenes. It was actually a scene with
Speaker 1: Lebron and it Lebron was supposed to be in the
Speaker 1: first episode, but you know it was you know budget,
Speaker 1: you know, well he was supposed to be playing with
Speaker 1: the people you're playing ball against. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: he was to be at the bell Lair party. Was like, Yo,
Speaker 1: that's Lebron, you know what I mean? So I did
Speaker 1: a see what Lebron was in it um and I
Speaker 1: mean as as soon as I read the scenes, when
Speaker 1: I first got the script, I was like, oh, this
Speaker 1: show has something to say. All right, we have more.
Speaker 1: With Jabari Banks, he is Will Smith in the new
Speaker 1: series bell A will talk Tom some most to Breakfast Club,
Speaker 1: Go Morning, the Breakfast Club Morning, Everybody at Day we
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Jabari
Speaker 1: Banks used the actor that plays Will Smith in the
Speaker 1: new bell Air series that with Bell are they recreating
Speaker 1: episodes that were done? Because there's so many iconic episodes
Speaker 1: like you know, the far the episode, the pool Hall episode,
Speaker 1: the drugs episode, Like are they recreating or they're doing
Speaker 1: new episodes. They're doing new episodes, but they're recreating moments.
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, moments that are recognizable. They're
Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh, okay. So if you've seen the
Speaker 1: pilot episode, there's a moment where Will is on the
Speaker 1: plane and there's a glass full of OJ, you know,
Speaker 1: Champaign glass full of OJ. And that's just a you know,
Speaker 1: a call back to the original song, you know. And
Speaker 1: there's this moments, a little small moments like that that
Speaker 1: are that are gonna get the audience hype. I mean
Speaker 1: the og fans. Did you have to learn how to rap?
Speaker 1: But did you know how to wrap? Did you have
Speaker 1: that part? Now? I was a rapper, but I was
Speaker 1: actor rapping, So you rap? What was your rap name? Uh?
Speaker 1: Been big back? Now now I've been through many rap names.
Speaker 1: I used to call myself into the Philosopher. Actually Jabari
Speaker 1: Banks in my rap name, say that fast, we want
Speaker 1: to hit slow that down. Indeed the philosopher indeed a philosopher.
Speaker 1: And I was in middle school. What was your name? Uh,
Speaker 1: Dizzey van Winkle like Dick Van Dyke, No, like Dizzy
Speaker 1: like ripped van Winkle, Uh mixed with a dizzy Dizzy devil.
Speaker 1: Remember Disney devil. It was Tasmanian devil with it. I
Speaker 1: think he had a son of Dizzy van Winkle, Dizney
Speaker 1: van Winkle. It was wild, like you know, Rip van
Speaker 1: Winkle was sleep for mad long and so I always
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, I was sleep for mad long
Speaker 1: and then I woke up like mentally confused. So I
Speaker 1: was dizzy. Okay, got you because there was looking on you. No,
Speaker 1: I got yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, they're sleeping on you. So I was
Speaker 1: in middle school. It was in middle him. Now, you
Speaker 1: said that you learned so much from will in five months.
Speaker 1: What are some of the things that Willy Lahma taught
Speaker 1: you Willy Lama, Right, yeah, nah Yo, it's it's been.
Speaker 1: It's been. It's been super enlightening for sure. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: I feel like one of the bigger lessons that I
Speaker 1: always that I've been taken with me. You know, I've
Speaker 1: been thinking about that a lot. It's like he says,
Speaker 1: you know, don't let the success get to your head,
Speaker 1: don't let the failures get to your heart, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? And uh, And I've taken that with you.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, man like, there's a lot of noise,
Speaker 1: a lot of noise. There's a lot of things that
Speaker 1: come into this business that aren't about the work, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, And to just stay about the word,
Speaker 1: because that's that's how you elevate, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: that's how you, that's how you you know what I mean, inspired,
Speaker 1: That's that's what we do. That's why we do what
Speaker 1: we do, you know, I mean, everything else around is
Speaker 1: kind of surrounding it, and it's like, okay, cool, that
Speaker 1: comes with it, with the territory. It's interactly because you
Speaker 1: want accolades, but those same accolades can make you a
Speaker 1: prisoner to the opinions of other people. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: don't really want that. Yeah, no, no, no, you're staying here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so right, Yeah, I mean, accolades are just they're nice,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, when they come around, But
Speaker 1: it's definitely all about the work for me, for me,
Speaker 1: you know what i mean, because that's where I found
Speaker 1: my joy. Yet like like you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: I find joy being here, you know what i mean,
Speaker 1: just talking, but you know what i mean, when I'm
Speaker 1: doing about work, when I'm when I'm when I'm doing
Speaker 1: doing something that makes me happy. That's that's that's what
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about for me. But you know
Speaker 1: what i mean, the wars, it come with it, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, come with it. So when you
Speaker 1: when you through it about taking this or burning out
Speaker 1: for this, did you ever get nervous that you'd be
Speaker 1: always stuck as that character like you look at Jilia White. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm never I'm too dynamic for that. I knew that
Speaker 1: about myself, Like I am an artist that that is transformative,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like I think I think
Speaker 1: you'll see that through throughout the throughout the years. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean, I I can transform And I
Speaker 1: always knew that about myself, Like I was a totally
Speaker 1: different person a year ago, two years ago, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. You look at that person like who
Speaker 1: the hell is that? You know what I mean? And
Speaker 1: like and so I feel like down the line, um,
Speaker 1: I want to take on roles that are going to
Speaker 1: give people a different perspective about how a black person
Speaker 1: can be, you know what I mean. Like I'm super
Speaker 1: interested in being like in fantasy movies, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, and and seeing fantasy science fiction and see
Speaker 1: science fiction and you're just like, like, show you ever
Speaker 1: seen a Lovecraft country? Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And like it was it was a moment where it
Speaker 1: was like, oh, like we can be you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, we can exist in this type of And
Speaker 1: it was like this was a period piece but it
Speaker 1: was also fantasy, but it was also drama, and it
Speaker 1: was also you know, sci fi. And I also season
Speaker 1: I could not imagine seeing all these black people doing
Speaker 1: this science fictional stuff. That's what it seemed like we had. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I think that came down the budget, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. The other day and she says,
Speaker 1: she says, she feels like HBO couldn't see black people
Speaker 1: in that space foot a long period of time. I'm
Speaker 1: interested in opening up that realm. I'm interested in opening
Speaker 1: up that story, you know what I mean. And I
Speaker 1: feel like I don't ever want to get stuck in
Speaker 1: just the box of he's fresh, praps, he's he's done this,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's not me And I
Speaker 1: don't think I'll ever be that person. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: it's so interesting. That's such a great question Nvas because
Speaker 1: it's like that role is so iconic, right, not just
Speaker 1: the role, because we're talking about there's a lot of
Speaker 1: iconic roles, but the person who played the role became
Speaker 1: an icon with fitness self. So could you ever truly
Speaker 1: fill those shoes? I don't know if anybody would ever
Speaker 1: And that's you. I don't know if anybody would ever
Speaker 1: see you as the fresh print. Yeah, no, I'm not
Speaker 1: interested in that. I'm not interested in like actually feeling like,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I'm telling the story that
Speaker 1: I'm telling for a new generation at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, and this is opening up opportunity for me,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And this is like giving
Speaker 1: me access for me to open up opportunity for the
Speaker 1: next person, you know what I mean. And so my
Speaker 1: story is my story, wild story is his story. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not the same, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: like I'm telling this story of the fresh Press, but
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm telling the story of a sixteen
Speaker 1: year old young man from Philly, you know, gets sent
Speaker 1: to la But at the end of the day, like
Speaker 1: our stories aren't the same, and you know, nobody will
Speaker 1: ever be Wilson if he's one on one, one on one,
Speaker 1: and Jabari Banks is one on one. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So it's Jabari Banks, It's the Breakfast Club,
Speaker 1: motor thank you. It's topic time called eight hundred and
Speaker 1: five eight five one oh five. Want to join it
Speaker 1: to the discussion with the Breakfast Club talk about it morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy Charlemagne the guy we are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club now if he just joined us. We're talking
Speaker 1: about believing in somebody when they say they have mental
Speaker 1: health or mental health issues. And I do believe people
Speaker 1: do have mental issues, but I also feel like people
Speaker 1: use it as an excuse. I feel like it's in
Speaker 1: an easy excuse to use because it's something that can't
Speaker 1: be checked. It can't it can't be verified. It's just
Speaker 1: something within yourself. And I feel like people, let me
Speaker 1: ask a simple question, who are we to say, Hey,
Speaker 1: this person's lying about what they're going through mentally, what
Speaker 1: they're going through emotionally. How the hell do we know?
Speaker 1: And I know that if somebody like Russ is walking
Speaker 1: away from millions of dollars, that's the thing. Like Russ
Speaker 1: isn't hurting anybody, nobody. The only person that's gonna suffer
Speaker 1: in this situation. Is he's walking away. If he's walking
Speaker 1: away from millions of dollars for whatever reason, you already
Speaker 1: got to sold out European toll. That lets me know
Speaker 1: clearly there's something wrong. And I salute Russ that you
Speaker 1: know he's able to articulate what it is that he's
Speaker 1: going through mentally, because for so long, man, so many
Speaker 1: of us couldn't, like Yo, you be dealing with mental issues,
Speaker 1: you'd be dealing with emotional issues, and you couldn't say, Man,
Speaker 1: I'm stuffering from mental health issues. You gotta make up
Speaker 1: some other excuse, like you said earlier, something about lying
Speaker 1: on your dog or something like that. There's some about
Speaker 1: the dog eating kids and what you say? What about
Speaker 1: you talking about? What did you say? It was something
Speaker 1: about the kids and something. I don't remember what it was.
Speaker 1: All I'm simply saying, but whatever it was, it stupid
Speaker 1: excuses like that we used to have to make up.
Speaker 1: Oh I would say that that. You people are always
Speaker 1: say that their kids were sick, but it would be
Speaker 1: an excuse, or that's right, something like that. That's right. Well,
Speaker 1: let's go to the phone. Long Hello, who's this Hey, Alicia?
Speaker 1: Talk to us, Alicia, what's your thoughts? So I am
Speaker 1: a mental health town flayer down in South Florida. M Sorry,
Speaker 1: my kids are excited to hear you. Guys. What's up? Guys? Yes,
Speaker 1: I am a I'm a mental health counselor down in Florida,
Speaker 1: and I mean every single day I work in residential
Speaker 1: treatment down here. And we have people that you know,
Speaker 1: our CEOs of companies are professional athletes, you know, are
Speaker 1: they at home moms or teachers. We have special education
Speaker 1: teacher in my center right now who had a mental
Speaker 1: health breakdown. And I cannot imagine this woman. She's in
Speaker 1: a psychotic break at this moment. She should be teaching
Speaker 1: second graders, you know, that's her job that she's on
Speaker 1: leave from. And I cannot even imagine this woman showing
Speaker 1: up to work for five minutes without a catastrophe occurring. Wow.
Speaker 1: So people really need to understand mental health is not
Speaker 1: a joke. It's not an excuse. People can use it
Speaker 1: as an excuse, just like during the pandemic, people call
Speaker 1: it off because they said they had a fever or whatever,
Speaker 1: and you just let it hide because you'd rather them
Speaker 1: not come around and bring their potential. You know, negative
Speaker 1: exposures to the workplace that they need to do something
Speaker 1: to focus on themselves or to get themselves in their
Speaker 1: best health space. So, you know, when these performers, especially
Speaker 1: these artists celebrities, a lot of them do have anxiety
Speaker 1: that's crippling. A lot of them do have, you know,
Speaker 1: identity issues that they struggle with just showing up and
Speaker 1: putting out this image that there's somebody that we all
Speaker 1: expect them to be. And if they fall short of that,
Speaker 1: like Charlomagne said, we criticize them for that. We criticize
Speaker 1: them if they snapped, we criticize them if they have
Speaker 1: like a bad night. So when these people say they
Speaker 1: just need a day off or a night off, or
Speaker 1: they've got to cancel a core, I feel like we
Speaker 1: all have the people need to learn how to expect
Speaker 1: those boundaries that people are trying to put up. Man,
Speaker 1: that's real. Give why you hack away? Why you hang
Speaker 1: upon the lady? I was gonna tell her to give
Speaker 1: out our information. See you part of the problem. You
Speaker 1: are part of the problem. You you with the fake
Speaker 1: bid I'm looking suspicious over that. Don't look suspicious bits
Speaker 1: your problem. I'm hurt by what every time you tell
Speaker 1: bad about me? What I'm hurt? Hurt by? What? Byre
Speaker 1: you talking bad about me? Anybody talking bad about you?
Speaker 1: Just said I talk bad about your bid anythink that
Speaker 1: about you? That's me, That ain't you. That's me, that's
Speaker 1: not you, it's not even yours. That's me. You didn't
Speaker 1: pray it on. I wouldn't say nothing about it. Not
Speaker 1: if you left that in the camp at home, I
Speaker 1: would have nothing to say about five A five one
Speaker 1: oh five. And we're talking about mental health. You know,
Speaker 1: Little Pump made fun of Russ and said it was
Speaker 1: a bullcrap. And we're asking when people say that going
Speaker 1: through mental problems, do you believe them? You should? And
Speaker 1: by the way, who are you to even act like
Speaker 1: they lying? You don't know what's going on in that
Speaker 1: person's head. It's a breakfast club. The morning, the breakfast
Speaker 1: club morning, everybody is DJ Envy Charlemagne. The day we
Speaker 1: are to breakfast Club. We got a special guest in
Speaker 1: the building, legend actress Kim Field. Welcome. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: It so great to be here. I can't believe I'm
Speaker 1: just not getting here. Oh man, we happy to have you. Yeah, really, yes,
Speaker 1: how are you first and full? I'm great? How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm blessed black and Holly favor? Well all right and
Speaker 1: alright and happy birthday. Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. How does it feel to be a star
Speaker 1: on yet another hit show? Well, thank you? Talk about
Speaker 1: you know, being blessed and favored. Um, it feels wonderful.
Speaker 1: It's it's very surreal, quite honestly. And we knew that
Speaker 1: we had something really great. We didn't know what was
Speaker 1: gonna do what it did and continues to do and
Speaker 1: have the impact you know that it has on the
Speaker 1: culture and beyond. So it's exciting. It feels great. Of
Speaker 1: course we're talking about season two. So how did you
Speaker 1: get involved with the up shows for people? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was actually on a press tour for a movie
Speaker 1: that I executive producing started and called Adventures in Christmasing.
Speaker 1: And while I was in La on the press tour,
Speaker 1: they said, hey, can you come in and do a
Speaker 1: chemistry meeting with my Gapps and Wanda Sykes for a
Speaker 1: Netflix series. And I wasn't checking to do a comedy,
Speaker 1: but I was like, that's a trio. You can't say
Speaker 1: no too, And so went in Mike and I had
Speaker 1: great chemistry, Wanda and I had great chemistry, and the
Speaker 1: Netflix crew was there and before I got home practically
Speaker 1: they were like, Yeah, we're gonna do an offer and
Speaker 1: you know, go from there. That we've seen recently that
Speaker 1: Martin did a reunion show. Yeah, would you guys be
Speaker 1: interested in doing a question reunion? You know, happy to
Speaker 1: think about it. Um, we we have this this really
Speaker 1: great thread, the six of us and Yvette who created
Speaker 1: the show, this text threat and so um, you know,
Speaker 1: we just love how everyone loves Living Single and again
Speaker 1: talk about impact. You know that the show has made
Speaker 1: and continues to make, and we don't want to taint
Speaker 1: that by just kind of throwing a reboot together with
Speaker 1: the idea of a reunion show. Thank God, everybody's busy,
Speaker 1: so you know, there's no plans for one in the
Speaker 1: immediate future. But you know, whenever I saw you tell
Speaker 1: people dot Com that you got to be cautious when
Speaker 1: you do these reboots. So that's whether it's Facts of
Speaker 1: Life or Living Single, and you have to be really careful.
Speaker 1: So what are your worries exactly? Well, because these characters
Speaker 1: are beloved, you know, Martin Fresh Prints, Living single, facts
Speaker 1: of life, different structs. I mean, these characters, these these
Speaker 1: shows are so beloved and these characters really mean something
Speaker 1: to everyone, and so if you get a wrong, they're
Speaker 1: gonna be made as a fan is selfish in a way, right,
Speaker 1: because it's like we would only want that when nostalgia purposes.
Speaker 1: We got all of the reruns, we watch it now.
Speaker 1: It's a timely shows. Just enjoy the art. That's the reunion,
Speaker 1: I mean, know the show like all the time, Like
Speaker 1: it's like watching like the Mona Lisa. Just go enjoy
Speaker 1: the art that was Catherine was up to what they're
Speaker 1: doing if you don't say and that's that's what I
Speaker 1: thought was dope about the Martin. Yeah, I think the
Speaker 1: reunions are kind of a nice happy medium, you know,
Speaker 1: a good hybrid for we're not really rebooting, but here
Speaker 1: you get to see us all together now. To be honest,
Speaker 1: I just thought about I wouldn't. I would love a
Speaker 1: reason because I love hearing Eric Alexander talk, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: she's the best, Yes, que Laty for yourself, Kim Cole's Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would like to see that now, everybody, just a
Speaker 1: conversation among right, Yeah, absolutely, Well you know when we
Speaker 1: had one of those anniversary specials that I think TV
Speaker 1: one did and we weren't able to get everybody, but
Speaker 1: we got quite a few of us, and so we
Speaker 1: were sitting around and chatting about the show and that
Speaker 1: sort of thing. So we have had that type of
Speaker 1: a moment now with everybody all in. But you know
Speaker 1: close enough. Now, you did Housewives that was short lived. Yes,
Speaker 1: you didn't like it wasn't for you. No, no, it
Speaker 1: wasn't that at all. It was only supposed to be
Speaker 1: a one and done, you know it was. It was
Speaker 1: bread Farth with the Jets kind of moment. So you know,
Speaker 1: for me, I did what I set out to do.
Speaker 1: The mandate at that time in my career was I'm
Speaker 1: celebrating forty years in the industry. Wow. And so my
Speaker 1: team I said, hey, let's go into uncharted waters. We're
Speaker 1: only going to do stuff that we've never done before.
Speaker 1: And so they kept asking me to do reality for
Speaker 1: years and I was like, no, the time's not right.
Speaker 1: It's just too much. So we said, okay, well let's
Speaker 1: just give that a try and see. But knowing that
Speaker 1: I still had other shows to do, other work to
Speaker 1: do as a director, as a producer, all kinds of things.
Speaker 1: So it was just one of those Okay, yep, did that,
Speaker 1: and then from there being almost catapulted into Dancing with
Speaker 1: the Stars, which was not only a game changer but
Speaker 1: a real life changer for me because there was such
Speaker 1: a deep dive of surrender and pushing my limitations all
Speaker 1: the way to the point of no return, you know,
Speaker 1: And that was the introduction to me for life begins
Speaker 1: at the end of your comfort zone. Wow. And so
Speaker 1: from there, I haven't you know, looked back, since it's
Speaker 1: always forward motion of what haven't I done? What can
Speaker 1: we still do? Because there's a lot to still be done. Well,
Speaker 1: you were dancing or was this something like that? I'd
Speaker 1: never done that before in my life, so you now
Speaker 1: trained from the beginning. It wasn't difficult, but having that
Speaker 1: sense of doing something that you've never done before, but
Speaker 1: at the highest level, you know, was really exciting, very
Speaker 1: very demanding, incredibly demanding dancing about six or seven hours
Speaker 1: every day, and I'm very competitive, and so there was
Speaker 1: nothing that he could ask me to do. And I
Speaker 1: was like, if you teach it to me, I will
Speaker 1: do my very best. And so now I have that
Speaker 1: skill set at that level, and it introduced other things
Speaker 1: to me, like now I want to compete professionally in tango.
Speaker 1: So I just started doing lessons. I make time. I
Speaker 1: make time for it. Yeah, and then COVID happened, so
Speaker 1: I had to obviously no more lessons, but you know,
Speaker 1: integrating that back into the schedule is something that I
Speaker 1: really want to do. I would kim Field to describe
Speaker 1: her a journey in the entertainment industry very exciting, very surreal,
Speaker 1: you know, to be the little black girl from Harlem
Speaker 1: who is the one that's still going, you know, and
Speaker 1: like our brother LLL, always just doing it and doing
Speaker 1: it and doing it well, you know. And so it's
Speaker 1: very surreal that I'm not a stranger to people around
Speaker 1: the world, that people have known of me or me
Speaker 1: since I was seven years old. You know. It's like
Speaker 1: Langston Hugh's Palm, Well a sudden, I'll tell your life
Speaker 1: for me and been no Crystal stairs. You know, There's
Speaker 1: there's been some low lows and some high highs and
Speaker 1: you know all the stuff in between. There's still a
Speaker 1: lot to look forward to. But I think at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, I think people don't see me coming,
Speaker 1: and so well from the standpoint that they know of me.
Speaker 1: You know, it's almost like almost every time people say
Speaker 1: my name's like oh yeah, oh yeah, you know. And
Speaker 1: so after a while, in order for me not to
Speaker 1: you know, have that really messed me up. It became
Speaker 1: a thing of Okay, so now I have to flip
Speaker 1: the script and make it where I have the element
Speaker 1: of of surprise. It's a surprise attacks now you're just
Speaker 1: not gonna see me coming, but know that I'm here.
Speaker 1: So I think that's the way to describe it. It's
Speaker 1: like this push pull of I always felt very honored,
Speaker 1: but there's still a grind. I'm still grinding and hustling,
Speaker 1: like like I'm new with this. I wonder if they
Speaker 1: don't see you coming, because you you know, you've had
Speaker 1: the blessing of having two characters that are just absolutely beloved,
Speaker 1: like you see you see you. When you see those
Speaker 1: two characters, you think that is it. And I think
Speaker 1: that's some of it. I think that's some of it,
Speaker 1: you know. I think that the characters that I've played
Speaker 1: and then being behind the camera for so many years
Speaker 1: and so it's it's just kind of those I really
Speaker 1: like the expect the unexpected. I think that's my mantra
Speaker 1: going forward in my career. We got moree Kim Fields.
Speaker 1: When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning morning everybody. We are the Breakfast Club was
Speaker 1: still kicking with actress Kim Fields. How do you survive that?
Speaker 1: So media time because at one time, like you said,
Speaker 1: you were only seen when you wanted to be seen, right,
Speaker 1: But now it's like you know, you you go to
Speaker 1: the mall, or you go to the grocery store, somebody
Speaker 1: sneaking the pictures, take a picture. I mean, you can
Speaker 1: just have a head wrapper or you right, you know,
Speaker 1: but how do you navigate through that? Well? I for me,
Speaker 1: you know, there's again people have seen me since I
Speaker 1: was seven, so there's really no like kind of hiding space,
Speaker 1: hiding place, and you know, so I'm comfortable, like if
Speaker 1: I don't have my makeup, Hey, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: Is what it is. Y'all have seen the space before
Speaker 1: it new makeup, So there you go. But I feel
Speaker 1: like I've kind of navigated certain areas of social media,
Speaker 1: one from that standpoint of if you can't beat them,
Speaker 1: join them, and also doing it on my own terms.
Speaker 1: If I'm not up for posting or I feel like
Speaker 1: I've had just a sensory overload, take a little breather.
Speaker 1: But it's a it's a space that I actually enjoyed because, um,
Speaker 1: I get number one, I get to connect with certain people,
Speaker 1: even you know, collaborations. I just did a collaboration with
Speaker 1: Jonathan McReynolds and he sang on on my soundtrack and
Speaker 1: now it's under consideration for an Emmy, so you know,
Speaker 1: and that was because I thank you. But I reached
Speaker 1: out on Instagram because we follow each other, and you know,
Speaker 1: dms can be great and horrible, so in that moment,
Speaker 1: it was great. But social media, you know, there's certain
Speaker 1: things like anytime somebody tries to throw me in that
Speaker 1: auntie zone, I am quick to respond, this is the
Speaker 1: no auntie zone. Hashtag no aunties. No, I'm nobody NA
Speaker 1: like me to call it. They call me uncle Leggy
Speaker 1: really well good, yeah, I mean that's wonderful, but nahum,
Speaker 1: And I think it's you know some of them too,
Speaker 1: if it's different from you know, male female vine. So
Speaker 1: you mentioned your MS, Yes, how many fellas are in
Speaker 1: your MS being surprised about old or young. I'm sure
Speaker 1: got to be some young man in the DMS as
Speaker 1: well as some older people. Actually a great question because
Speaker 1: I think with y'all generation don't realize is y'all are
Speaker 1: showing a different level of aging gracefully, like when we
Speaker 1: were growing up, forty and fifty used to seem like
Speaker 1: old that was that was great? Yes, yeah, well, I
Speaker 1: mean to answer that in my in my DMS, it's just,
Speaker 1: you know, I basically have it set to the people
Speaker 1: that I know, so I don't have any like surprise
Speaker 1: like oh my god. No. And then in terms of
Speaker 1: like aging, like you said, such a different time, it's
Speaker 1: such a different everything, you know, and so I plan
Speaker 1: on adventuring and journeying and doing I mean, just I'm
Speaker 1: in such a new space I think too. And again
Speaker 1: the genesis of it dancing with the stars and then
Speaker 1: being regarded the way that I am as an executive producer.
Speaker 1: You know, people talk about having a seat at the table.
Speaker 1: My journey quite honestly, as I felt like I had
Speaker 1: to actually build the table in the chairs, and then
Speaker 1: everybody was like, oh, let me come to this table,
Speaker 1: so I have a seat at the table. It's just different,
Speaker 1: how that table and that seat got created, and so
Speaker 1: that's actually very empowering and very exhilarating, liberating. Oh we yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's that's really where I'm really hovering and moving
Speaker 1: about and and so with that, yeah, as I'm leveling
Speaker 1: up age wise, it's one of those like, you know,
Speaker 1: like the Princess said, age ain't nothing but a number. Right,
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about the content of
Speaker 1: Black shows art, right. Do you think that it was
Speaker 1: some type of conspiracy to change the content because everybody
Speaker 1: talked about how you know, the content is you know,
Speaker 1: destructive now and influenced people the wrong way. Were growing
Speaker 1: up you saw living thing what it was. Yeah, y'all
Speaker 1: had careers, you know, y'all weren't I guess, quote unquote
Speaker 1: ratchet even though if nothing wrong, being a little raget.
Speaker 1: But it's like, do you think there was a conspiracy
Speaker 1: to change the content of the shows? Ah, there's probably
Speaker 1: a conspiracy about every damn thing, yea, and especially anything
Speaker 1: positive to impact any people, let alone people of color.
Speaker 1: That said, I'm not aware of anything that was that
Speaker 1: in your face about it. I think that as a
Speaker 1: content provider, you have to listen to what the audience
Speaker 1: is saying that they want to see, you know, and
Speaker 1: when they put on these great shows or positive shows
Speaker 1: or whatever and people aren't watching, they get snatched up.
Speaker 1: So it's almost like are we in our own way sometimes?
Speaker 1: But you know, we don't have to watch everything just
Speaker 1: because it's black people, or just because it's music, or
Speaker 1: just because it's you know, there are certainly many different
Speaker 1: ways that people can enjoy content and stories, and so
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, it's it's
Speaker 1: really about what's good storytelling, what a really good character.
Speaker 1: I think that's what people want to see. And then
Speaker 1: it becomes the timing of it. You know, there are
Speaker 1: some shows that you feel like, God, that was ahead
Speaker 1: of its time, and then some shows you like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we've seen enough of that type of show, can we
Speaker 1: please see something else. So I don't know that there's
Speaker 1: a conspiracy or that there was, but I feel like
Speaker 1: there are certain efforts that we, as the viewers, we
Speaker 1: actually contribute to true true you know Kim Cole's say
Speaker 1: that Fox use black shows like Living Single and Martin
Speaker 1: to build a network, then kick them out the house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, when you when you are growing
Speaker 1: a network and creating something from scratch. Yes, you do
Speaker 1: gravitate towards what do we know is going to sell
Speaker 1: right away? What do we know we'll have that loyal
Speaker 1: audience right away? And historically speaking, it's been black shows.
Speaker 1: But yes, there is that sense of Okay, we got
Speaker 1: the numbers, we grew the audience. And then some times
Speaker 1: it's also if there's a changing of the guard, if
Speaker 1: there's a new network executive and they want to create
Speaker 1: a new vision, put it in a new direction, then
Speaker 1: you know, and it has nothing to do with being
Speaker 1: you know, shows of color, then you know you go
Speaker 1: that route. So I think that, yeah, that there there
Speaker 1: is definitely something to what Kim said in terms of,
Speaker 1: you know, how they build the network. Yes, do I
Speaker 1: think that there could have been a touch more finessing
Speaker 1: in terms of how you transition into whatever the new
Speaker 1: direction is. But you know, people run their network how
Speaker 1: they want to run it. So so how important did
Speaker 1: they have a creator like a Regina Hicks who's worked
Speaker 1: on like Insecure, Girl Sister Sister. Is it important to
Speaker 1: have somebody who understands those legendary black sitcoms and what
Speaker 1: it takes to create one. Yes, from the standpoint of
Speaker 1: her experience, not in my opinion, not because she's a
Speaker 1: woman or a woman of color, you know. But and
Speaker 1: here's why, because there are those of us Mike Apps
Speaker 1: want to diside me. We are people of color, and
Speaker 1: you know two of us are women. So we're already
Speaker 1: going to bring some of that to the tables. So
Speaker 1: the idea of what we need somebody who understands that voice, well,
Speaker 1: not if we have that voice. Her resume and what
Speaker 1: she knows about running a writer's room or what she
Speaker 1: knows about how to have a you know, a successful
Speaker 1: show on a successful comedy. Those to me are the
Speaker 1: more important boxes to check if you're going to just
Speaker 1: you know, start checking boxes. But I do feel like
Speaker 1: there has to be that sense of diversity even when
Speaker 1: you are telling a specific type of story. Like people
Speaker 1: will say, oh, I'm looking for a black director, I
Speaker 1: need a female director. Well, I check those boxes, but
Speaker 1: I don't approach it that way. I'm a director, and
Speaker 1: so my sensibilities are about how to tell a great story. Secondary,
Speaker 1: and what's kind of tertiary is yes I'm a female
Speaker 1: or yes I'm a person of color. But for me,
Speaker 1: it's you know, if you're a great director. You should
Speaker 1: be able to tell anybody's story. Now, I love that
Speaker 1: because you know, you have some companies. They got that
Speaker 1: title now with the President of Diversity and Inclusion, inclusion.
Speaker 1: But there might be a black person that has no
Speaker 1: connection to the black community, experience black people whatsoever. Listen,
Speaker 1: I you know, in the wake of certain tragedies, in
Speaker 1: the wake of certain difficult moments in society, we had
Speaker 1: some what some would consider forward motion, forward movement, and
Speaker 1: exactly what you're saying. And for me, I'm not about
Speaker 1: being a box checker. And when you are a box
Speaker 1: checker and then you don't have the skill set to
Speaker 1: back it up, it's like get in the door with
Speaker 1: the boxes that you check, but then what you're gonna
Speaker 1: do when you're in the door, you have to have
Speaker 1: the skill set. You got to bring the thunder. Otherwise
Speaker 1: you're just a box checker taking up air. So then
Speaker 1: check the box that I'm an air taker upper. I
Speaker 1: think that's messing up the art because it feels like
Speaker 1: sometimes they'll put some black shows on black movies and whack, yeah, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I do, yes, I do. I feel like it's messing
Speaker 1: up the art. The craft the culture. I mean just
Speaker 1: just I mean, come on, you know, the diversity on anything,
Speaker 1: it's what's up. I mean, it just makes it that
Speaker 1: much more interesting, that much more collaborative. That's that much
Speaker 1: more real in terms of what the reality is in
Speaker 1: most people's environments. Yeah, I want you diverse in thought
Speaker 1: though I like disity, but I like diversity and thought,
Speaker 1: diversity and creativity. Like what you said, is the talent first, Yeah, absolutely, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and then hey, if you check a box or two, cool,
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, that's more of
Speaker 1: a I think of a corporate mindset because they want
Speaker 1: to look good. That's right. We got more we Ken
Speaker 1: feels when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast
Speaker 1: clubical boarding. J D. Charlemagne, the guy we are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club was still kicking it with actress Kim Fields.
Speaker 1: Now you talked about, you know, you wanted to do
Speaker 1: reality show, you wanted to be a director, you wanted
Speaker 1: to do this. Is there anything that's that you haven't
Speaker 1: done yet that you want to do? Yeah, your bucket
Speaker 1: list that you're like, this is what I want to do.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, well, I guess I don't approach it
Speaker 1: like bucket List five. You know, I think I approach
Speaker 1: it more of just you know, here's let's let's go.
Speaker 1: So so for me, I'm definitely I want to do
Speaker 1: more drama. Who definitely want to do um sci fi
Speaker 1: because I love sci fi and fantasy. And you know,
Speaker 1: folks can't just be the only ones in you know,
Speaker 1: blue and green makeup and getting the check. I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, I put another color on me and I'll
Speaker 1: get a check. Tout his birthday today. What we're doing today?
Speaker 1: Baby birthday the only thing right, And I got work
Speaker 1: out at six. But you know, I'm watching Miss Marvel
Speaker 1: on Disney Plus and there's a welcome to New Jerney
Speaker 1: just to see it. Yeah, she's the first Muslim superhero.
Speaker 1: She's on top of the sign, right, So I thought
Speaker 1: you was gonna say that you wanted to be up
Speaker 1: there and sitting next to her on it. That's a
Speaker 1: birthday anxiety to No. No, I'm gonna drive by. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sure season. I got a couple more questions because
Speaker 1: you know you said earlier, you said this is a things,
Speaker 1: So what do black creators need to do to get there?
Speaker 1: Just do manage your expectations on getting that just do
Speaker 1: you know. Usually my answer is, you know, be good,
Speaker 1: be better than you know. Set the bar, don't just
Speaker 1: get to the bar, and in fact raise the bar.
Speaker 1: Those are fantastic goals to have and more than likely attainable.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you can do
Speaker 1: all of that, and if your goal is is beyond
Speaker 1: what you can control, then you know you have to
Speaker 1: manage that expectation. Great example years ago, Blair and I
Speaker 1: were to Blair and Wood and I were talking about auditioning,
Speaker 1: and he said, you know, make the goal something other
Speaker 1: than booking the gig, because that's actually not in your control.
Speaker 1: You can go in there crush it and not book
Speaker 1: it because of circumstances beyond your control. They've already cast,
Speaker 1: they're going with a different type of look, they're going
Speaker 1: with a different name, all kinds of things, and so
Speaker 1: what is the goal. But don't make the goal something
Speaker 1: pressurized like I gotta book this to pay my rent,
Speaker 1: I gotta book this to get the light bill paid,
Speaker 1: or my baby's needs us, whatever it is, because that
Speaker 1: pressure will then mess you up and you won't be
Speaker 1: able to be at your best. But when you find
Speaker 1: that space where you are not in a pressurized moment.
Speaker 1: Then make the goal something that you can control. So
Speaker 1: that's what I think when I say manage your at spectations.
Speaker 1: My last question, you grew up in the entertainment industry.
Speaker 1: What was the best and worst advice you received. Thankfully,
Speaker 1: I've not had any bad advice, and if I had,
Speaker 1: I guess I just didn't listen. So but my best
Speaker 1: advice was from my mom and she, I mean, my goodness.
Speaker 1: When I wrote my autobiography, I just felt like it
Speaker 1: should be called, you know, chips gems because my mother
Speaker 1: just dropped gem after gem in my life. But when
Speaker 1: I was growing up, like one of the early days
Speaker 1: of facts of life, and she said, you started a
Speaker 1: hundred percent and everything that you do and say every
Speaker 1: day that you're here either keeps you here or it
Speaker 1: can chip away, right, And I was like, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: that's that's all right. And then the second piece of
Speaker 1: advice when I went to do the audition for the
Speaker 1: Miss butter or Sarah commercial, so Janet was there and
Speaker 1: that was the first time that I'd even seen her
Speaker 1: met her and you know, they had those jacks in
Speaker 1: Summer special, yes, and so I knew who she was,
Speaker 1: and I've gotten to that and that was my first audition,
Speaker 1: first time doing anything. We had just got in LA
Speaker 1: and I thought, oh my god, that's Danna Jackson. I
Speaker 1: don't belong here. I want to go home. I want
Speaker 1: to go home. And I got terrified. I'm very insecure,
Speaker 1: and my mom took me into the bathroom and she said, listen,
Speaker 1: she's not doing anything to you. You were doing this
Speaker 1: to yourself. Don't let anything or anybody intimidate you of
Speaker 1: your own doing. But don't don't do it. And there
Speaker 1: are times to this day guys, if I'm like feeling
Speaker 1: you know, some kind of way or in my feelings
Speaker 1: and feeling like, oh, I'm not sure whatever, and you know,
Speaker 1: my level of confidence or my security is not on
Speaker 1: full blast, I will go into the bathroom and tell myself,
Speaker 1: don't let anything or anyone intimidate you. And especially when
Speaker 1: you're doing that to yourself and they're not even doing
Speaker 1: anything to you, don't you allow your own mind to
Speaker 1: do that. So those are the right having the syndrome, yeah,
Speaker 1: always feeling worthy, which is two things that you always
Speaker 1: deal with matter how old you are. That's right, absolutely, absolutely,
Speaker 1: And so that level of security, you know, really really
Speaker 1: helps seal seal the deal for me. Yeah. Well, check
Speaker 1: out the Upshore season two right now, and we appreciate
Speaker 1: you for joining the legendary man. Thank you. You're right listen,
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that I was able to finally get
Speaker 1: here and finally meet you. Happy birthday, Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 1: Have an amazing, amazing next chapter filled with so much
Speaker 1: adventure and wonder and success and being grounded. Happy birthday,
Speaker 1: Yes indeed, and go on and sit up there next
Speaker 1: to her. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Your mornings will never be the same. What it's trying
Speaker 1: to get with someone special. The best way to do
Speaker 1: it is with Magnum large side condoms. That gold foil
Speaker 1: wrapper is a badge of honor and it means you're
Speaker 1: protected and you take care of things with comfort. Accept
Speaker 1: no substitute. So bring the pleasure with the gold standard
Speaker 1: Magnum large size condumns. You are. I'm gonna fatten all
Speaker 1: that shit around your eye. This man Doden Blowers. Many
Speaker 1: wait for Charlom judgment, the donkey of the day. They
Speaker 1: chose you the breakfast Club. Bitches, who's donkey of the
Speaker 1: day to day Wow, donkey of today goes to the
Speaker 1: police in Putnella's County, Florida, and twenty seven year old
Speaker 1: Caitlin O'Donovan in twenty nine year old Sarah Franks of
Speaker 1: clear Water, Florida. All of y'all getting dunkey of today
Speaker 1: because clearly none of y'all have anything better to do. Now,
Speaker 1: what does your uncle Charlot always tell you about the
Speaker 1: great state of Florida? What has your uncle Charla been
Speaker 1: telling you on this radio for the path eleven years
Speaker 1: about the great state of Florida. The craziest people in
Speaker 1: America come from the Bronx and all the Florida. And
Speaker 1: I must say, in recent years there is other places
Speaker 1: in America trying to take Florida's crown. Texas, I'm talking
Speaker 1: to you, okay, But Florida, y'all still have the crown,
Speaker 1: all right, y'all still the kings of the thing. All right. Now,
Speaker 1: If I told you that someone was charged with the
Speaker 1: Sultan battery, what would you think, nvy a Sultan battery?
Speaker 1: What would you think? But the first thing that comes
Speaker 1: to your mind punching somebody? Yeah, right, that's the textbook definition,
Speaker 1: it's an act of physical violence. Assault refers to the
Speaker 1: act which causes the victim to receive imminent physical harm, okay,
Speaker 1: while battery refers to the actual act causing the physical harm.
Speaker 1: Oh no, let me say that again. Assault refers to
Speaker 1: the act which causes the victim to apprehend imminent physical harm,
Speaker 1: while battery refers to the actual act causing the physical harm.
Speaker 1: So hitting, a punching somebody all right, forcibly causing them
Speaker 1: pain is a Sultan battery. I actually think that when
Speaker 1: somebody gets their ass kick, we've been doing ourselves a
Speaker 1: disservice by saying they simply got beat up, all right.
Speaker 1: When somebody gets done dirty, we should say, man, you
Speaker 1: got batted, all right. Badded sound is way worse than
Speaker 1: beat up. Even if you threaten somebody, keep it up.
Speaker 1: I'm a batter your ass, all right. Don't make me
Speaker 1: battery your punk ass, all right. That's why words matter
Speaker 1: in the context of words matter, because it sounds so
Speaker 1: cute when you think of batter in the context of pancakes, waffles,
Speaker 1: red velvet cake, and it is all those things. But
Speaker 1: when you say y'all batter or breaks off, you boy,
Speaker 1: it changes things, all right? Could that work in the
Speaker 1: context of prize fighting? Like if I say, Jake Paul batted,
Speaker 1: you know, Nate Robinson or Jake Paul badded Tyrone Woodley.
Speaker 1: No disrespect to those brothers at all, But I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to show y'all what battery looks like. We've all
Speaker 1: been on World Stoffer years. We've seen what you know
Speaker 1: battery is. We know what it looks like when someone
Speaker 1: gets dragged. You know who else knows what battery looks
Speaker 1: like more than anybody? The police, all right. The police
Speaker 1: arrest folks for assulting battery all the time. Hey, sometimes
Speaker 1: someone gets batted, and depending on the situation, police don't
Speaker 1: even arrest them, might detain them until they cool off,
Speaker 1: but they don't take them to jail because it's bigger
Speaker 1: fish to fry, bigger issue out here in folks having
Speaker 1: a kerfuffle here and there, but not in Florida. Nope,
Speaker 1: in Florida, one person's kerfuffle, one persons skirmish is another
Speaker 1: person's battery. Now, I know there's a lot of law
Speaker 1: enforcement that listens to the breakfast club. Salute all the
Speaker 1: police officers out there that listen I need y'all to
Speaker 1: tell me if I'm tripping. Okay, when you see me
Speaker 1: in the streets, if you want to call love, tell
Speaker 1: me if I'm tripping. For giving the Pennellas County, Florida
Speaker 1: police the biggest he had for arresting these two women,
Speaker 1: because when I heard this story, I just shook my
Speaker 1: head and said to myself, life as we know it
Speaker 1: is really a dramedy. Let's go to w FLA for
Speaker 1: the report. Police. A few women here smiling in their
Speaker 1: mug shots but facing felony charges. Up the police that
Speaker 1: they threw glitter at a man during an argument in
Speaker 1: Pennellas County, Florida. And no, glitter isn't some slang for
Speaker 1: something you've never heard of. We're talking about the shiny
Speaker 1: stuff glitter here in the story. This is twenty seven
Speaker 1: year old Caitlin O'Donovan and twenty nine year old Sarah Franks,
Speaker 1: both women, according to Clearwater police, throwing a container of
Speaker 1: glitter at the victim during an argument. The arrest affidavit
Speaker 1: statement that the man was hit in the head and
Speaker 1: in the torso. Now officers said that Franks then climbed
Speaker 1: over a balcony fence, went into the man's apartment and
Speaker 1: threw more containers of glitter at him. Franks and O'Donovan
Speaker 1: are both arrested and charge with delany burglary with assault
Speaker 1: or battery. Yeah, and the arrest Affadavid also said the
Speaker 1: vehicle was still warm when the police, you know, found
Speaker 1: the car, and glitter was inside of it when police
Speaker 1: found it as well. I wanted today buy all this
Speaker 1: glitter somewhere in Florida recently or was it just a
Speaker 1: lot of leftover glitter from Christmas? We're talking glitter man,
Speaker 1: Glitter like the two thousand and one Mariah Carrey movie. Okay,
Speaker 1: glitter like Little Kim's iconic purple tasty jumpsuit from the
Speaker 1: ninety nine MS. Now, I'm not making no excuses Franks
Speaker 1: and O'Donovan. That's why they're sharing in this donkey as well.
Speaker 1: They went to that manhouse, they kicked the window until
Speaker 1: it broke. Okay, they broke into that man's apartment, started
Speaker 1: arguing with him and through containers a glitter. That's breaking
Speaker 1: an entering disorderly conduct. Got the most all right, but
Speaker 1: charging them for battery, taking them to jail and filling
Speaker 1: out paperwork because these two young ladies did some glitter bombing.
Speaker 1: Maybe they lesbians and it was an act of protest.
Speaker 1: Don't the LGBT community use glitter as an act of protest.
Speaker 1: Maybe the guy was dating one of the women and
Speaker 1: she found out he was batting for the other team.
Speaker 1: Who knows, so she decided to batter him with glitter.
Speaker 1: There is something gold dusty here, don't you think. By
Speaker 1: the way, if this is the route we're going in America,
Speaker 1: Dustin Rose, they are about to bring up bring up
Speaker 1: a bunch of retroactive charges against you and the WWE
Speaker 1: for all that glitter. You know what I'm doing people's faces? Okay,
Speaker 1: if you ask me, these women should be arrested for
Speaker 1: breaking in that man's house, but charged with a salt
Speaker 1: and battery for thrown glitter bo humbug. Okay. I understand
Speaker 1: some legal offices argue glitter bombing is a Sultan battery
Speaker 1: because it's possible for glitter that into the eyes or
Speaker 1: nose and caused damage that leads the infection depending on
Speaker 1: the size of the glitter. But do you really have
Speaker 1: a case about glitter going in your nose? If you
Speaker 1: already snort cocaine that has nothing to do with nothing,
Speaker 1: But the moral of the story is Pernella's Police. Y'all
Speaker 1: don't have anything better to do. Please give the Pernella's
Speaker 1: County Police Department and the two young ladies Caitlyn O'Donovan
Speaker 1: and Sarah Franks the sweet sounds of the Hamletones. Oh
Speaker 1: no you are dogee, Oh the day, the dogee, Oh
Speaker 1: the day. Yeah. I was about to play something too,
Speaker 1: but I'm not doing that in me. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we don't have to play a game. These are the
Speaker 1: two people, right, Sarah Franks, Caitlyn O'Donovan O'Donovan. Come on,
Speaker 1: come on, that'd be funny, though the fight with somebody
Speaker 1: just stop glittering their face, that would not be funny.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that's something bigger here. I really think that,
Speaker 1: you know, one of them was dating the dude to
Speaker 1: the dude started messing around another guy. But that's just
Speaker 1: me and how my brain works, because that's very specific.
Speaker 1: To go to somebody house with glitter that means something.
Speaker 1: I'm blaking. I'm bringing glitter Hill on Monday. Just know
Speaker 1: that what I ain't gold dust get that time. Gold
Speaker 1: does get somebody moth to my resuscitation and put their
Speaker 1: tongue in the myth, put his tongue in goodness. Okay,
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna go there and go there, Nope,
Speaker 1: I'm not going in anything. Thank you for that. Donkey
Speaker 1: to day. It's the Breakfast Club. Go morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Ask Charlemagne and DJ n d An make it up,
Speaker 1: pick it up up. It's time to ask an ass
Speaker 1: C and E. If you need relationship advice will help
Speaker 1: you out. Ye's not here? Hello? Who's this? Hey? What's
Speaker 1: going on? Man? Hey? Jeffrey Man? What's your what's your
Speaker 1: question for us? Man? So? I got three baby one
Speaker 1: of them just causing a lot of problems, making false
Speaker 1: accusations and the stuff. For like sa, I just kind
Speaker 1: of want to be how I could weed her out
Speaker 1: and still be able to play with my girlfriend without
Speaker 1: her like causing rumors and all that god of stuff.
Speaker 1: So you got three baby mamas, but your baby mamas
Speaker 1: is messing up your new girlfriend. Basically the advice I
Speaker 1: wouldn't give you, sir. It's a guy named Doc Brown
Speaker 1: that you should seek out. Doc Brown has invented a
Speaker 1: time machine. It's in the form of a dolous. You
Speaker 1: should get into that DeLorean and go back in time
Speaker 1: and wear condoms, sir, that's what you should do. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's really nothing you can do. I mean,
Speaker 1: you put yourself in that position. You have three baby mamas.
Speaker 1: You got to deal with it for the rest of
Speaker 1: your life. The only thing I would do is trying
Speaker 1: to separate my baby moms from my girlfriend unless they're
Speaker 1: trying to get in touch with her on social media
Speaker 1: and things like that, and then I would go into
Speaker 1: my girlfriend's phone and block them myself so they have
Speaker 1: no way to speak to each other. And you should
Speaker 1: wear condoms now, so you don't have a fourth baby mama,
Speaker 1: because your protection game is clearly trash, very trash. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got well, she only do BLUs, but she's like
Speaker 1: calling from different numbers, sending videos and all that stuff
Speaker 1: like that. And I'm actually looking to propose to my
Speaker 1: kind of girlfriend now, but she's just calling them like
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of problems. So I wouldn't marry you.
Speaker 1: You got three kids from three different baby mamas. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't marry you if I was her. Well, I'm glad
Speaker 1: you wouldn't marry me. You're married already, sir? Yeah, Hello,

Speaker 1: have shot your club up a few times, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But they just don't want to be
Speaker 1: They don't want that ready made family. Now, there's some
Speaker 1: guys out there who got two and three kids themselves,

Speaker 1: So why should I let you in now? I don't
Speaker 1: think you have a choice. I don't. I don't think
