Did you were you afraid to 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.280 turn something that I guess what was so happy? So 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.440 I would call it bright. I'll call fred Fritzi Belle bright. 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.240 Would you were you afraid to turn something like that dark? Nah? 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.480 I wasn't afraid of it, um, because when I had 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.640 seen Morgan's trailer, I was like, oh, I get it, 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.559 I get it, and I was like watch that, you 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.679 know what I mean? And so I think it's I 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.080 think it's important because it's a reflection of our world, 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:24.520 you know what I mean? And I think, you know, 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.599 it's it's important to see that. How hands Olin was 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.839 Will Smith during the taping and all life, I always 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.360 say this, it was it was great that he wasn't 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.520 because he really gave us. He really left the our 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.600 retelling and our creation of these characters to our own volition, 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.760 you know what I mean, And so that allowed us 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:42.599 to create these, you know, characters that ourselves are in, 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:43.720 you know what I mean. He didn't have his thumb 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:45.240 on it, hella, you know what I mean, And so 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.280 I feel like that's what I appreciated about him. But 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:48.520 you know, he definitely gave us a lot of tips. 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.520 What about the other characters calledton and call them any 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.040 of them coming on and said or did yeah, we 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:54.120 we have to, we have to. We had a few 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.120 talks with the original cast, so it was definitely a 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:57.839 blessing to to get their blessing. Then to see that 0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.640 that torch passed, you know what I mean. I always 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.000 wanted to, you know, if and I would love to 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.280 ask world this, but maybe he told you. I wonder 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:09.280 what he had played that character differently now because you know, oh, 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:11.760 he's older now, and he always said that back then 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.480 he was he would pretending to be somebody he wasn't, right. 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:19.240 I wonder what he played at approached that character different now. Definitely, Yeah, 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.480 I feel you know, like when he when he was, 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.760 you know, doing the fresh Friend's thing, he had no 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.760 acting shops. Yeah, you know what I mean, and so 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:27.400 he was just kind of up there just trying to 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.000 figure it out. And uh, I definitely think knowing what 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.040 he knows now, it definitely would have been different, but 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.800 it wouldn't have been as raw. So you got acting shops, 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:37.360 so you weren't doing what willcams but he said will 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.520 you used to be saying everybody. It was a little 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:40.959 different for me. It was a little different for me 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.120 because I was a theater actor, so this is my 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.680 first time being in front of a camera, in front 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.960 of a forty person you know, camera crew. And uh 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:51.959 and so that was definitely a learning curve for sure. 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:53.959 How did this go to you? Just? You know, I 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.240 just sent to him my audition, you know, with I had, 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.360 I had a manager, had an agent that I got 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.000 through a showcase, and uh, you know, they sent me 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.200 the call. They were like, yo, there's this show called 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.240 bell Lair and for this character Will. And I was like, 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.199 hold on bella Will. Now I saw the call and 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:09.839 I was like, okay, okay, I could do this. I 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.360 knew it was me. I just had to prove to 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.439 everybody else. But I thought that they wanted like a 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.120 big name, you know what I mean. I thought that 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.599 they wanted somebody who was recognizable to everybody else. And 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:19.360 so I was like, I don't know how I'm gonna 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.079 get this role, but you know what I mean, I 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.000 just had to surrender to the whole process. And uh. 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.920 And so I sent him my call and uh and 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.280 a couple of a couple of weeks down the line. 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:29.600 What did you have to do on that first tape? 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.240 Do you remember? Yeah, it was a couple It was 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.719 a couple of scenes. No I have to wrap no, no, 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:35.760 I just uh, I just uh it was it was 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.160 a couple of scenes. It was actually a scene with 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.040 Lebron and it Lebron was supposed to be in the 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.440 first episode, but you know it was you know budget, 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:43.800 you know, well he was supposed to be playing with 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.319 the people you're playing ball against. No, no, no, no, 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.200 he was to be at the bell Lair party. Was like, Yo, 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.600 that's Lebron, you know what I mean? So I did 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:52.520 a see what Lebron was in it um and I 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.160 mean as as soon as I read the scenes, when 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:56.760 I first got the script, I was like, oh, this 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:58.679 show has something to say. All right, we have more. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.640 With Jabari Banks, he is Will Smith in the new 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.960 series bell A will talk Tom some most to Breakfast Club, 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:12.280 Go Morning, the Breakfast Club Morning, Everybody at Day we 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.280 are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Jabari 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.640 Banks used the actor that plays Will Smith in the 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.800 new bell Air series that with Bell are they recreating 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.320 episodes that were done? Because there's so many iconic episodes 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.280 like you know, the far the episode, the pool Hall episode, 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.640 the drugs episode, Like are they recreating or they're doing 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.320 new episodes. They're doing new episodes, but they're recreating moments. 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.320 I would say, you know, moments that are recognizable. They're 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.400 gonna be like, oh, okay. So if you've seen the 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:41.679 pilot episode, there's a moment where Will is on the 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.520 plane and there's a glass full of OJ, you know, 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.199 Champaign glass full of OJ. And that's just a you know, 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.679 a call back to the original song, you know. And 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.120 there's this moments, a little small moments like that that 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.280 are that are gonna get the audience hype.

I was a rapper, but I was 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.920 actor rapping, So you rap? What was your rap name? Uh? 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.280 Been big back? Now now I've been through many rap names. 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.640 I used to call myself into the Philosopher. Actually Jabari 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:09.439 Banks in my rap name, say that fast, we want 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:13.920 to hit slow that down. Indeed the philosopher indeed a philosopher. 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:18.679 And I was in middle school. What was your name? Uh, 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:23.960 Dizzey van Winkle like Dick Van Dyke, No, like Dizzy 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:29.280 like ripped van Winkle, Uh mixed with a dizzy Dizzy devil. 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.560 Remember Disney devil. It was Tasmanian devil with it. I 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:37.160 think he had a son of Dizzy van Winkle, Dizney 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.480 van Winkle. It was wild, like you know, Rip van 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.520 Winkle was sleep for mad long and so I always 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.280 felt like, you know, I was sleep for mad long 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.320 and then I woke up like mentally confused. So I 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.360 was dizzy. Okay, got you because there was looking on you. No, 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:50.960 I got yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. I 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:52.400 was like, Okay, they're sleeping on you. So I was 0:14:52.440 --> 0:15:00.240 in middle school. It was in middle him. Now, you 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.800 said that you learned so much from will in five months. 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.200 What are some of the things that Willy Lahma taught 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.120 you Willy Lama, Right, yeah, nah Yo, it's it's been. 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.920 It's been. It's been super enlightening for sure. Um. You know, 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.240 I feel like one of the bigger lessons that I 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:16.960 always that I've been taken with me. You know, I've 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:18.480 been thinking about that a lot. It's like he says, 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.680 you know, don't let the success get to your head, 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.560 don't let the failures get to your heart, you know 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.120 what I mean? And uh, And I've taken that with you. 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.080 I'm just like, man like, there's a lot of noise, 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.440 a lot of noise. There's a lot of things that 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.800 come into this business that aren't about the work, you 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.160 know what I mean, And to just stay about the word, 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:37.760 because that's that's how you elevate, you know what I mean, 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.200 that's how you, that's how you you know what I mean, inspired, 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:41.520 That's that's what we do. That's why we do what 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.280 we do, you know, I mean, everything else around is 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.360 kind of surrounding it, and it's like, okay, cool, that 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.400 comes with it, with the territory. It's interactly because you 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.880 want accolades, but those same accolades can make you a 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.640 prisoner to the opinions of other people. Yeah, and you 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.320 don't really want that. Yeah, no, no, no, you're staying here. Yeah, 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.560 so right, Yeah, I mean, accolades are just they're nice, 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:01.200 you know what I mean, when they come around, But 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.440 it's definitely all about the work for me, for me, 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:04.600 you know what i mean, because that's where I found 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.400 my joy. Yet like like you know what I mean, 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:08.360 I find joy being here, you know what i mean, 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.160 just talking, but you know what i mean, when I'm 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:11.640 doing about work, when I'm when I'm when I'm doing 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.200 doing something that makes me happy. That's that's that's what 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.080 that's what it's all about for me. But you know 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:17.960 what i mean, the wars, it come with it, you 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:19.320 know what I mean, come with it. So when you 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.600 when you through it about taking this or burning out 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:23.560 for this, did you ever get nervous that you'd be 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:27.560 always stuck as that character like you look at Jilia White. No, no, no, no, no, 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.680 I'm never I'm too dynamic for that. I knew that 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.960 about myself, Like I am an artist that that is transformative, 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:35.200 you know what I mean. Like I think I think 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.200 you'll see that through throughout the throughout the years. You 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.680 know what I mean, I I can transform And I 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.080 always knew that about myself, Like I was a totally 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.360 different person a year ago, two years ago, you know 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:45.600 what I mean. You look at that person like who 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.320 the hell is that? You know what I mean? And 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.520 like and so I feel like down the line, um, 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.120 I want to take on roles that are going to 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:58.160 give people a different perspective about how a black person 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.640 can be, you know what I mean. Like I'm super 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.080 interested in being like in fantasy movies, you know what 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.640 I mean, and and seeing fantasy science fiction and see 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:07.600 science fiction and you're just like, like, show you ever 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.800 seen a Lovecraft country? Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying. 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.280 And like it was it was a moment where it 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.560 was like, oh, like we can be you know what 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:18.680 I mean, we can exist in this type of And 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:20.960 it was like this was a period piece but it 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.119 was also fantasy, but it was also drama, and it 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:27.920 was also you know, sci fi. And I also season 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.680 I could not imagine seeing all these black people doing 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:33.720 this science fictional stuff. That's what it seemed like we had. Yeah, 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:35.040 you know, I think that came down the budget, you 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:39.520 know what I mean. The other day and she says, 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.560 she says, she feels like HBO couldn't see black people 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.080 in that space foot a long period of time. I'm 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.800 interested in opening up that realm. I'm interested in opening 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:50.560 up that story, you know what I mean. And I 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:52.359 feel like I don't ever want to get stuck in 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.080 just the box of he's fresh, praps, he's he's done this, 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:56.720 you know what I mean. That's not me And I 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:58.600 don't think I'll ever be that person. I mean, you know, 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.080 it's so interesting. That's such a great question Nvas because 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.600 it's like that role is so iconic, right, not just 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.000 the role, because we're talking about there's a lot of 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:09.280 iconic roles, but the person who played the role became 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:14.719 an icon with fitness self. So could you ever truly 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.840 fill those shoes? I don't know if anybody would ever 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:18.919 And that's you. I don't know if anybody would ever 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:21.040 see you as the fresh print. Yeah, no, I'm not 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.720 interested in that. I'm not interested in like actually feeling like, 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:25.040 you know what I mean, I'm telling the story that 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:26.879 I'm telling for a new generation at the end of 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.399 the day, and this is opening up opportunity for me, 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:31.560 you know what I mean. And this is like giving 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:33.840 me access for me to open up opportunity for the 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:35.680 next person, you know what I mean. And so my 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.120 story is my story, wild story is his story. Yeah, 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.200 we're not the same, you know what I mean. And 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.720 like I'm telling this story of the fresh Press, but 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.399 like you know, I'm telling the story of a sixteen 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:47.639 year old young man from Philly, you know, gets sent 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:49.520 to la But at the end of the day, like 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.200 our stories aren't the same, and you know, nobody will 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.199 ever be Wilson if he's one on one, one on one, 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:55.960 and Jabari Banks is one on one. You know what 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:59.960 I mean. So it's Jabari Banks, It's the Breakfast Club, 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:09.440 motor thank you. It's topic time called eight hundred and 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:11.040 five eight five one oh five. Want to join it 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.760 to the discussion with the Breakfast Club talk about it morning. 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:18.159 Everybody is DJ Envy Charlemagne the guy we are the 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.639 Breakfast Club now if he just joined us. We're talking 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:24.240 about believing in somebody when they say they have mental 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:26.760 health or mental health issues. And I do believe people 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.520 do have mental issues, but I also feel like people 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:31.720 use it as an excuse. I feel like it's in 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.240 an easy excuse to use because it's something that can't 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:37.359 be checked. It can't it can't be verified. It's just 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.680 something within yourself. And I feel like people, let me 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:44.120 ask a simple question, who are we to say, Hey, 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.440 this person's lying about what they're going through mentally, what 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.520 they're going through emotionally. How the hell do we know? 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:52.000 And I know that if somebody like Russ is walking 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:55.400 away from millions of dollars, that's the thing. Like Russ 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:59.080 isn't hurting anybody, nobody. The only person that's gonna suffer 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.080 in this situation. Is he's walking away. If he's walking 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.720 away from millions of dollars for whatever reason, you already 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:07.200 got to sold out European toll. That lets me know 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:10.960 clearly there's something wrong. And I salute Russ that you 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:14.640 know he's able to articulate what it is that he's 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:17.200 going through mentally, because for so long, man, so many 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.560 of us couldn't, like Yo, you be dealing with mental issues, 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:21.879 you'd be dealing with emotional issues, and you couldn't say, Man, 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:23.840 I'm stuffering from mental health issues. You gotta make up 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:26.320 some other excuse, like you said earlier, something about lying 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:28.880 on your dog or something like that. There's some about 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:30.800 the dog eating kids and what you say? What about 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:33.080 you talking about? What did you say? It was something 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:34.800 about the kids and something. I don't remember what it was. 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:37.200 All I'm simply saying, but whatever it was, it stupid 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:39.080 excuses like that we used to have to make up. 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.240 Oh I would say that that. You people are always 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:42.639 say that their kids were sick, but it would be 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.399 an excuse, or that's right, something like that. That's right. Well, 0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:51.560 let's go to the phone. Long Hello, who's this Hey, Alicia? 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:56.080 Talk to us, Alicia, what's your thoughts? So I am 0:20:56.160 --> 0:21:01.200 a mental health town flayer down in South Florida. M Sorry, 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:06.800 my kids are excited to hear you. Guys. What's up? Guys? Yes, 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:10.040 I am a I'm a mental health counselor down in Florida, 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:12.840 and I mean every single day I work in residential 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:15.760 treatment down here. And we have people that you know, 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:20.680 our CEOs of companies are professional athletes, you know, are 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:24.440 they at home moms or teachers. We have special education 0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:26.560 teacher in my center right now who had a mental 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:30.159 health breakdown. And I cannot imagine this woman. She's in 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:33.520 a psychotic break at this moment. She should be teaching 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:35.879 second graders, you know, that's her job that she's on 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:39.280 leave from. And I cannot even imagine this woman showing 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:43.520 up to work for five minutes without a catastrophe occurring. Wow. 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:46.800 So people really need to understand mental health is not 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:49.720 a joke. It's not an excuse. People can use it 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:52.360 as an excuse, just like during the pandemic, people call 0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:54.760 it off because they said they had a fever or whatever, 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:56.920 and you just let it hide because you'd rather them 0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:01.080 not come around and bring their potential. You know, negative 0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:04.400 exposures to the workplace that they need to do something 0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:06.520 to focus on themselves or to get themselves in their 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:11.040 best health space. So, you know, when these performers, especially 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:15.680 these artists celebrities, a lot of them do have anxiety 0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:18.320 that's crippling. A lot of them do have, you know, 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:21.520 identity issues that they struggle with just showing up and 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:24.520 putting out this image that there's somebody that we all 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:27.240 expect them to be. And if they fall short of that, 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:30.640 like Charlomagne said, we criticize them for that. We criticize 0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:32.800 them if they snapped, we criticize them if they have 0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:35.399 like a bad night. So when these people say they 0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:37.240 just need a day off or a night off, or 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:39.080 they've got to cancel a core, I feel like we 0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:41.119 all have the people need to learn how to expect 0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:43.680 those boundaries that people are trying to put up. Man, 0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:48.000 that's real. Give why you hack away? Why you hang 0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:49.360 upon the lady? I was gonna tell her to give 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:51.760 out our information. See you part of the problem. You 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:56.160 are part of the problem. You you with the fake 0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:59.920 bid I'm looking suspicious over that. Don't look suspicious bits 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:02.679 your problem. I'm hurt by what every time you tell 0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:05.640 bad about me? What I'm hurt? Hurt by? What? Byre 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:07.840 you talking bad about me? Anybody talking bad about you? 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:09.680 Just said I talk bad about your bid anythink that 0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:12.040 about you? That's me, That ain't you. That's me, that's 0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:14.480 not you, it's not even yours. That's me. You didn't 0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:15.920 pray it on. I wouldn't say nothing about it. Not 0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:17.960 if you left that in the camp at home, I 0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:20.439 would have nothing to say about five A five one 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:23.560 oh five. And we're talking about mental health. You know, 0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:25.920 Little Pump made fun of Russ and said it was 0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:28.080 a bullcrap. And we're asking when people say that going 0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:30.320 through mental problems, do you believe them? You should? And 0:23:30.440 --> 0:23:32.800 by the way, who are you to even act like 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:34.440 they lying? You don't know what's going on in that 0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:37.440 person's head. It's a breakfast club. The morning, the breakfast 0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:44.159 club morning, everybody is DJ Envy Charlemagne. The day we 0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:46.280 are to breakfast Club.

And we knew that 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:24.320 we had something really great. We didn't know what was 0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:27.399 gonna do what it did and continues to do and 0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:30.080 have the impact you know that it has on the 0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:33.200 culture and beyond. So it's exciting. It feels great. Of 0:24:33.240 --> 0:24:37.440 course we're talking about season two. So how did you 0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:39.159 get involved with the up shows for people? I don't know. 0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:42.280 I was actually on a press tour for a movie 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:45.480 that I executive producing started and called Adventures in Christmasing. 0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.560 And while I was in La on the press tour, 0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:50.440 they said, hey, can you come in and do a 0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:54.200 chemistry meeting with my Gapps and Wanda Sykes for a 0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:57.960 Netflix series. And I wasn't checking to do a comedy, 0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:00.320 but I was like, that's a trio. You can't say 0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:03.880 no too, And so went in Mike and I had 0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:07.320 great chemistry, Wanda and I had great chemistry, and the 0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:11.080 Netflix crew was there and before I got home practically 0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:13.480 they were like, Yeah, we're gonna do an offer and 0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:16.159 you know, go from there. That we've seen recently that 0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:19.560 Martin did a reunion show. Yeah, would you guys be 0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:28.240 interested in doing a question reunion? You know, happy to 0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:31.200 think about it. Um, we we have this this really 0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:33.800 great thread, the six of us and Yvette who created 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:36.800 the show, this text threat and so um, you know, 0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:40.240 we just love how everyone loves Living Single and again 0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:43.040 talk about impact. You know that the show has made 0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:46.800 and continues to make, and we don't want to taint 0:25:46.880 --> 0:25:50.520 that by just kind of throwing a reboot together with 0:25:50.720 --> 0:25:54.560 the idea of a reunion show. Thank God, everybody's busy, 0:25:55.160 --> 0:25:57.480 so you know, there's no plans for one in the 0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:01.080 immediate future. But you know, whenever I saw you tell 0:26:01.160 --> 0:26:03.439 people dot Com that you got to be cautious when 0:26:03.480 --> 0:26:06.080 you do these reboots. So that's whether it's Facts of 0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:08.359 Life or Living Single, and you have to be really careful. 0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:11.760 So what are your worries exactly? Well, because these characters 0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:16.160 are beloved, you know, Martin Fresh Prints, Living single, facts 0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:18.520 of life, different structs. I mean, these characters, these these 0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:22.280 shows are so beloved and these characters really mean something 0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:26.240 to everyone, and so if you get a wrong, they're 0:26:26.240 --> 0:26:29.800 gonna be made as a fan is selfish in a way, right, 0:26:29.800 --> 0:26:33.520 because it's like we would only want that when nostalgia purposes. 0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:35.399 We got all of the reruns, we watch it now. 0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:39.280 It's a timely shows. Just enjoy the art. That's the reunion, 0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:42.639 I mean, know the show like all the time, Like 0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:44.920 it's like watching like the Mona Lisa. Just go enjoy 0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:49.360 the art that was Catherine was up to what they're 0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:51.000 doing if you don't say and that's that's what I 0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:53.080 thought was dope about the Martin. Yeah, I think the 0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:55.840 reunions are kind of a nice happy medium, you know, 0:26:55.920 --> 0:26:59.120 a good hybrid for we're not really rebooting, but here 0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:02.119 you get to see us all together now. To be honest, 0:27:02.440 --> 0:27:03.879 I just thought about I wouldn't. I would love a 0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:07.760 reason because I love hearing Eric Alexander talk, oh my gosh, 0:27:08.119 --> 0:27:12.040 she's the best, Yes, que Laty for yourself, Kim Cole's Yeah, 0:27:12.040 --> 0:27:13.840 I would like to see that now, everybody, just a 0:27:13.880 --> 0:27:17.520 conversation among right, Yeah, absolutely, Well you know when we 0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:20.600 had one of those anniversary specials that I think TV 0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:23.720 one did and we weren't able to get everybody, but 0:27:24.320 --> 0:27:26.240 we got quite a few of us, and so we 0:27:26.359 --> 0:27:29.560 were sitting around and chatting about the show and that 0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:31.920 sort of thing. So we have had that type of 0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:34.920 a moment now with everybody all in. But you know 0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:40.000 close enough. Now, you did Housewives that was short lived. Yes, 0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:42.000 you didn't like it wasn't for you. No, no, it 0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:43.480 wasn't that at all. It was only supposed to be 0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:45.000 a one and done, you know it was. It was 0:27:45.080 --> 0:27:50.840 bread Farth with the Jets kind of moment. So you know, 0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:53.240 for me, I did what I set out to do. 0:27:54.040 --> 0:27:56.680 The mandate at that time in my career was I'm 0:27:56.720 --> 0:28:00.560 celebrating forty years in the industry. Wow. And so my 0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:03.400 team I said, hey, let's go into uncharted waters. We're 0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:05.720 only going to do stuff that we've never done before. 0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:09.480 And so they kept asking me to do reality for 0:28:09.680 --> 0:28:11.560 years and I was like, no, the time's not right. 0:28:12.080 --> 0:28:14.240 It's just too much. So we said, okay, well let's 0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:17.159 just give that a try and see. But knowing that 0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:19.720 I still had other shows to do, other work to 0:28:19.800 --> 0:28:22.000 do as a director, as a producer, all kinds of things. 0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:25.159 So it was just one of those Okay, yep, did that, 0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:29.720 and then from there being almost catapulted into Dancing with 0:28:29.840 --> 0:28:33.119 the Stars, which was not only a game changer but 0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:36.680 a real life changer for me because there was such 0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:40.800 a deep dive of surrender and pushing my limitations all 0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:43.120 the way to the point of no return, you know, 0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:47.440 And that was the introduction to me for life begins 0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:49.960 at the end of your comfort zone. Wow. And so 0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:52.880 from there, I haven't you know, looked back, since it's 0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:56.760 always forward motion of what haven't I done? What can 0:28:56.840 --> 0:29:00.120 we still do? Because there's a lot to still be done. Well, 0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:01.880 you were dancing or was this something like that? I'd 0:29:01.920 --> 0:29:04.280 never done that before in my life, so you now 0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:10.120 trained from the beginning. It wasn't difficult, but having that 0:29:10.320 --> 0:29:12.760 sense of doing something that you've never done before, but 0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:17.760 at the highest level, you know, was really exciting, very 0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:22.520 very demanding, incredibly demanding dancing about six or seven hours 0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:26.400 every day, and I'm very competitive, and so there was 0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:28.640 nothing that he could ask me to do. And I 0:29:28.720 --> 0:29:30.480 was like, if you teach it to me, I will 0:29:30.560 --> 0:29:32.600 do my very best. And so now I have that 0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:36.160 skill set at that level, and it introduced other things 0:29:36.200 --> 0:29:39.400 to me, like now I want to compete professionally in tango. 0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:44.000 So I just started doing lessons. I make time. I 0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:46.560 make time for it. Yeah, and then COVID happened, so 0:29:46.640 --> 0:29:49.840 I had to obviously no more lessons, but you know, 0:29:50.000 --> 0:29:52.880 integrating that back into the schedule is something that I 0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:55.280 really want to do. I would kim Field to describe 0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:59.560 her a journey in the entertainment industry very exciting, very surreal, 0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:02.440 you know, to be the little black girl from Harlem 0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:06.040 who is the one that's still going, you know, and 0:30:06.160 --> 0:30:08.240 like our brother LLL, always just doing it and doing 0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:10.600 it and doing it well, you know. And so it's 0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:14.280 very surreal that I'm not a stranger to people around 0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:17.480 the world, that people have known of me or me 0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:20.600 since I was seven years old. You know. It's like 0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:23.120 Langston Hugh's Palm, Well a sudden, I'll tell your life 0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:25.400 for me and been no Crystal stairs. You know, There's 0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:28.640 there's been some low lows and some high highs and 0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:32.080 you know all the stuff in between. There's still a 0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:34.960 lot to look forward to. But I think at the 0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:38.080 end of the day, I think people don't see me coming, 0:30:38.480 --> 0:30:42.640 and so well from the standpoint that they know of me. 0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:45.640 You know, it's almost like almost every time people say 0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:50.080 my name's like oh yeah, oh yeah, you know. And 0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:52.200 so after a while, in order for me not to 0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:55.600 you know, have that really messed me up. It became 0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:57.600 a thing of Okay, so now I have to flip 0:30:57.720 --> 0:30:59.800 the script and make it where I have the element 0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:03.120 of of surprise. It's a surprise attacks now you're just 0:31:03.200 --> 0:31:06.200 not gonna see me coming, but know that I'm here. 0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:09.040 So I think that's the way to describe it. It's 0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:12.800 like this push pull of I always felt very honored, 0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:17.520 but there's still a grind. I'm still grinding and hustling, 0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:19.840 like like I'm new with this. I wonder if they 0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:22.200 don't see you coming, because you you know, you've had 0:31:22.280 --> 0:31:26.600 the blessing of having two characters that are just absolutely beloved, 0:31:26.920 --> 0:31:28.800 like you see you see you. When you see those 0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:30.800 two characters, you think that is it. And I think 0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:32.760 that's some of it. I think that's some of it, 0:31:32.920 --> 0:31:35.360 you know. I think that the characters that I've played 0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:38.480 and then being behind the camera for so many years 0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:41.120 and so it's it's just kind of those I really 0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:45.160 like the expect the unexpected. I think that's my mantra 0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:48.880 going forward in my career. We got moree Kim Fields. 0:31:48.880 --> 0:31:50.960 When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. 0:31:51.000 --> 0:31:56.200 Good morning morning everybody. We are the Breakfast Club was 0:31:56.280 --> 0:31:59.440 still kicking with actress Kim Fields. How do you survive that? 0:31:59.680 --> 0:32:01.880 So media time because at one time, like you said, 0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:04.479 you were only seen when you wanted to be seen, right, 0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:06.840 But now it's like you know, you you go to 0:32:06.920 --> 0:32:09.160 the mall, or you go to the grocery store, somebody 0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:10.880 sneaking the pictures, take a picture. I mean, you can 0:32:10.960 --> 0:32:14.240 just have a head wrapper or you right, you know, 0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:20.840 but how do you navigate through that? Well? I for me, 0:32:21.280 --> 0:32:23.640 you know, there's again people have seen me since I 0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:26.680 was seven, so there's really no like kind of hiding space, 0:32:26.800 --> 0:32:29.760 hiding place, and you know, so I'm comfortable, like if 0:32:29.800 --> 0:32:32.200 I don't have my makeup, Hey, it is what it is. 0:32:32.400 --> 0:32:34.640 Is what it is. Y'all have seen the space before 0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:38.600 it new makeup, So there you go. But I feel 0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:43.120 like I've kind of navigated certain areas of social media, 0:32:43.800 --> 0:32:45.959 one from that standpoint of if you can't beat them, 0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:50.760 join them, and also doing it on my own terms. 0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:52.760 If I'm not up for posting or I feel like 0:32:52.800 --> 0:32:56.240 I've had just a sensory overload, take a little breather. 0:32:56.800 --> 0:33:00.560 But it's a it's a space that I actually enjoyed because, um, 0:33:00.760 --> 0:33:03.480 I get number one, I get to connect with certain people, 0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:07.960 even you know, collaborations. I just did a collaboration with 0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:11.640 Jonathan McReynolds and he sang on on my soundtrack and 0:33:11.720 --> 0:33:15.000 now it's under consideration for an Emmy, so you know, 0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:16.800 and that was because I thank you. But I reached 0:33:16.800 --> 0:33:19.880 out on Instagram because we follow each other, and you know, 0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:23.000 dms can be great and horrible, so in that moment, 0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:26.400 it was great. But social media, you know, there's certain 0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:29.000 things like anytime somebody tries to throw me in that 0:33:29.120 --> 0:33:31.280 auntie zone, I am quick to respond, this is the 0:33:31.400 --> 0:33:37.560 no auntie zone. Hashtag no aunties. No, I'm nobody NA 0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:41.760 like me to call it. They call me uncle Leggy 0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:52.360 really well good, yeah, I mean that's wonderful, but nahum, 0:33:52.440 --> 0:33:53.880 And I think it's you know some of them too, 0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:56.400 if it's different from you know, male female vine. So 0:33:56.520 --> 0:33:59.760 you mentioned your MS, Yes, how many fellas are in 0:33:59.840 --> 0:34:03.280 your MS being surprised about old or young. I'm sure 0:34:03.360 --> 0:34:05.440 got to be some young man in the DMS as 0:34:05.480 --> 0:34:07.840 well as some older people. Actually a great question because 0:34:07.840 --> 0:34:10.120 I think with y'all generation don't realize is y'all are 0:34:10.239 --> 0:34:15.719 showing a different level of aging gracefully, like when we 0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:17.880 were growing up, forty and fifty used to seem like 0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:29.800 old that was that was great? Yes, yeah, well, I 0:34:29.880 --> 0:34:32.840 mean to answer that in my in my DMS, it's just, 0:34:33.280 --> 0:34:35.479 you know, I basically have it set to the people 0:34:35.520 --> 0:34:38.240 that I know, so I don't have any like surprise 0:34:38.320 --> 0:34:41.279 like oh my god. No. And then in terms of 0:34:41.440 --> 0:34:44.920 like aging, like you said, such a different time, it's 0:34:45.000 --> 0:34:48.439 such a different everything, you know, and so I plan 0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:53.960 on adventuring and journeying and doing I mean, just I'm 0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:57.080 in such a new space I think too. And again 0:34:57.160 --> 0:34:59.279 the genesis of it dancing with the stars and then 0:34:59.760 --> 0:35:03.720 being regarded the way that I am as an executive producer. 0:35:04.200 --> 0:35:06.640 You know, people talk about having a seat at the table. 0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:09.560 My journey quite honestly, as I felt like I had 0:35:09.600 --> 0:35:12.759 to actually build the table in the chairs, and then 0:35:12.920 --> 0:35:15.360 everybody was like, oh, let me come to this table, 0:35:15.680 --> 0:35:18.160 so I have a seat at the table. It's just different, 0:35:18.239 --> 0:35:22.040 how that table and that seat got created, and so 0:35:22.239 --> 0:35:29.839 that's actually very empowering and very exhilarating, liberating. Oh we yeah, 0:35:30.280 --> 0:35:34.200 so that's that's really where I'm really hovering and moving 0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:37.600 about and and so with that, yeah, as I'm leveling 0:35:37.719 --> 0:35:40.400 up age wise, it's one of those like, you know, 0:35:40.719 --> 0:35:43.400 like the Princess said, age ain't nothing but a number. Right, 0:35:43.640 --> 0:35:45.440 I want to talk to you about the content of 0:35:45.520 --> 0:35:48.320 Black shows art, right. Do you think that it was 0:35:48.360 --> 0:35:51.520 some type of conspiracy to change the content because everybody 0:35:51.560 --> 0:35:53.840 talked about how you know, the content is you know, 0:35:54.040 --> 0:35:56.279 destructive now and influenced people the wrong way. Were growing 0:35:56.360 --> 0:35:58.799 up you saw living thing what it was. Yeah, y'all 0:35:58.840 --> 0:36:02.080 had careers, you know, y'all weren't I guess, quote unquote 0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:03.960 ratchet even though if nothing wrong, being a little raget. 0:36:04.000 --> 0:36:06.640 But it's like, do you think there was a conspiracy 0:36:06.680 --> 0:36:10.080 to change the content of the shows? Ah, there's probably 0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:13.280 a conspiracy about every damn thing, yea, and especially anything 0:36:13.360 --> 0:36:17.399 positive to impact any people, let alone people of color. 0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:21.239 That said, I'm not aware of anything that was that 0:36:21.640 --> 0:36:24.759 in your face about it. I think that as a 0:36:25.120 --> 0:36:29.440 content provider, you have to listen to what the audience 0:36:29.560 --> 0:36:31.759 is saying that they want to see, you know, and 0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:35.160 when they put on these great shows or positive shows 0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:37.759 or whatever and people aren't watching, they get snatched up. 0:36:38.280 --> 0:36:41.560 So it's almost like are we in our own way sometimes? 0:36:41.719 --> 0:36:43.840 But you know, we don't have to watch everything just 0:36:43.840 --> 0:36:46.600 because it's black people, or just because it's music, or 0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:49.640 just because it's you know, there are certainly many different 0:36:49.680 --> 0:36:53.640 ways that people can enjoy content and stories, and so 0:36:53.760 --> 0:36:55.759 I think at the end of the day, it's it's 0:36:55.840 --> 0:36:59.760 really about what's good storytelling, what a really good character. 0:37:00.560 --> 0:37:03.279 I think that's what people want to see. And then 0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:05.640 it becomes the timing of it. You know, there are 0:37:05.719 --> 0:37:07.600 some shows that you feel like, God, that was ahead 0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:10.560 of its time, and then some shows you like, Okay, 0:37:10.640 --> 0:37:13.440 we've seen enough of that type of show, can we 0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:16.560 please see something else. So I don't know that there's 0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:19.279 a conspiracy or that there was, but I feel like 0:37:19.360 --> 0:37:23.120 there are certain efforts that we, as the viewers, we 0:37:23.239 --> 0:37:28.040 actually contribute to true true you know Kim Cole's say 0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:31.160 that Fox use black shows like Living Single and Martin 0:37:31.239 --> 0:37:37.160 to build a network, then kick them out the house. Yeah, 0:37:37.880 --> 0:37:40.640 I mean, you know, when you when you are growing 0:37:40.719 --> 0:37:44.800 a network and creating something from scratch. Yes, you do 0:37:45.160 --> 0:37:47.799 gravitate towards what do we know is going to sell 0:37:48.040 --> 0:37:50.240 right away? What do we know we'll have that loyal 0:37:50.320 --> 0:37:55.040 audience right away? And historically speaking, it's been black shows. 0:37:55.560 --> 0:37:57.640 But yes, there is that sense of Okay, we got 0:37:57.680 --> 0:38:00.279 the numbers, we grew the audience. And then some times 0:38:00.320 --> 0:38:03.440 it's also if there's a changing of the guard, if 0:38:03.480 --> 0:38:05.959 there's a new network executive and they want to create 0:38:06.040 --> 0:38:08.839 a new vision, put it in a new direction, then 0:38:09.160 --> 0:38:11.680 you know, and it has nothing to do with being 0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:14.719 you know, shows of color, then you know you go 0:38:14.920 --> 0:38:17.920 that route. So I think that, yeah, that there there 0:38:18.040 --> 0:38:21.120 is definitely something to what Kim said in terms of, 0:38:21.760 --> 0:38:24.440 you know, how they build the network. Yes, do I 0:38:24.520 --> 0:38:26.640 think that there could have been a touch more finessing 0:38:26.800 --> 0:38:30.480 in terms of how you transition into whatever the new 0:38:30.600 --> 0:38:33.920 direction is. But you know, people run their network how 0:38:33.960 --> 0:38:35.759 they want to run it. So so how important did 0:38:35.760 --> 0:38:38.160 they have a creator like a Regina Hicks who's worked 0:38:38.200 --> 0:38:42.440 on like Insecure, Girl Sister Sister. Is it important to 0:38:42.480 --> 0:38:46.320 have somebody who understands those legendary black sitcoms and what 0:38:46.400 --> 0:38:50.440 it takes to create one. Yes, from the standpoint of 0:38:50.840 --> 0:38:55.080 her experience, not in my opinion, not because she's a 0:38:55.200 --> 0:38:58.800 woman or a woman of color, you know. But and 0:38:59.120 --> 0:39:01.839 here's why, because there are those of us Mike Apps 0:39:01.920 --> 0:39:04.800 want to diside me. We are people of color, and 0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:07.960 you know two of us are women. So we're already 0:39:07.960 --> 0:39:09.840 going to bring some of that to the tables. So 0:39:10.239 --> 0:39:14.520 the idea of what we need somebody who understands that voice, well, 0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:18.279 not if we have that voice. Her resume and what 0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:20.680 she knows about running a writer's room or what she 0:39:20.800 --> 0:39:24.239 knows about how to have a you know, a successful 0:39:24.680 --> 0:39:27.400 show on a successful comedy. Those to me are the 0:39:27.520 --> 0:39:30.440 more important boxes to check if you're going to just 0:39:30.760 --> 0:39:33.480 you know, start checking boxes. But I do feel like 0:39:33.719 --> 0:39:37.239 there has to be that sense of diversity even when 0:39:37.280 --> 0:39:40.919 you are telling a specific type of story. Like people 0:39:40.960 --> 0:39:43.279 will say, oh, I'm looking for a black director, I 0:39:43.400 --> 0:39:46.239 need a female director. Well, I check those boxes, but 0:39:46.440 --> 0:39:49.080 I don't approach it that way. I'm a director, and 0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:54.520 so my sensibilities are about how to tell a great story. Secondary, 0:39:54.560 --> 0:39:57.440 and what's kind of tertiary is yes I'm a female 0:39:57.560 --> 0:39:59.840 or yes I'm a person of color. But for me, 0:40:00.320 --> 0:40:02.879 it's you know, if you're a great director. You should 0:40:02.920 --> 0:40:05.920 be able to tell anybody's story. Now, I love that 0:40:06.000 --> 0:40:07.840 because you know, you have some companies. They got that 0:40:08.120 --> 0:40:12.360 title now with the President of Diversity and Inclusion, inclusion. 0:40:12.960 --> 0:40:14.640 But there might be a black person that has no 0:40:14.800 --> 0:40:18.840 connection to the black community, experience black people whatsoever. Listen, 0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:23.360 I you know, in the wake of certain tragedies, in 0:40:23.480 --> 0:40:28.359 the wake of certain difficult moments in society, we had 0:40:28.480 --> 0:40:33.120 some what some would consider forward motion, forward movement, and 0:40:33.280 --> 0:40:36.400 exactly what you're saying. And for me, I'm not about 0:40:36.480 --> 0:40:39.799 being a box checker. And when you are a box 0:40:39.920 --> 0:40:41.960 checker and then you don't have the skill set to 0:40:42.040 --> 0:40:44.360 back it up, it's like get in the door with 0:40:44.520 --> 0:40:46.520 the boxes that you check, but then what you're gonna 0:40:46.520 --> 0:40:48.640 do when you're in the door, you have to have 0:40:48.880 --> 0:40:51.160 the skill set. You got to bring the thunder. Otherwise 0:40:51.239 --> 0:40:54.520 you're just a box checker taking up air. So then 0:40:54.640 --> 0:41:00.040 check the box that I'm an air taker upper. I 0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:02.120 think that's messing up the art because it feels like 0:41:02.239 --> 0:41:07.879 sometimes they'll put some black shows on black movies and whack, yeah, yes, yes, 0:41:07.960 --> 0:41:10.320 I do, yes, I do. I feel like it's messing 0:41:10.400 --> 0:41:13.600 up the art. The craft the culture. I mean just 0:41:14.880 --> 0:41:19.080 just I mean, come on, you know, the diversity on anything, 0:41:19.280 --> 0:41:21.480 it's what's up. I mean, it just makes it that 0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:25.239 much more interesting, that much more collaborative. That's that much 0:41:25.320 --> 0:41:30.239 more real in terms of what the reality is in 0:41:30.480 --> 0:41:34.200 most people's environments. Yeah, I want you diverse in thought 0:41:34.239 --> 0:41:36.359 though I like disity, but I like diversity and thought, 0:41:36.400 --> 0:41:41.960 diversity and creativity. Like what you said, is the talent first, Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, 0:41:42.040 --> 0:41:45.040 and then hey, if you check a box or two, cool, 0:41:45.520 --> 0:41:47.400 But at the end of the day, that's more of 0:41:47.480 --> 0:41:51.120 a I think of a corporate mindset because they want 0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:53.640 to look good. That's right. We got more we Ken 0:41:53.760 --> 0:41:55.920 feels when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast 0:41:55.920 --> 0:41:59.880 clubical boarding. J D. Charlemagne, the guy we are the 0:42:00.000 --> 0:42:02.680 Breakfast Club was still kicking it with actress Kim Fields. 0:42:02.960 --> 0:42:05.279 Now you talked about, you know, you wanted to do 0:42:05.400 --> 0:42:07.719 reality show, you wanted to be a director, you wanted 0:42:07.719 --> 0:42:10.200 to do this. Is there anything that's that you haven't 0:42:10.200 --> 0:42:12.360 done yet that you want to do? Yeah, your bucket 0:42:12.400 --> 0:42:13.960 list that you're like, this is what I want to do. 0:42:14.120 --> 0:42:16.759 Oh my gosh, well, I guess I don't approach it 0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:19.320 like bucket List five. You know, I think I approach 0:42:19.360 --> 0:42:22.560 it more of just you know, here's let's let's go. 0:42:23.120 --> 0:42:25.560 So so for me, I'm definitely I want to do 0:42:25.880 --> 0:42:29.799 more drama. Who definitely want to do um sci fi 0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:33.800 because I love sci fi and fantasy. And you know, 0:42:34.080 --> 0:42:36.120 folks can't just be the only ones in you know, 0:42:36.840 --> 0:42:39.239 blue and green makeup and getting the check. I mean, 0:42:39.360 --> 0:42:41.799 come on, I put another color on me and I'll 0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:45.760 get a check. Tout his birthday today. What we're doing today? 0:42:45.840 --> 0:42:52.680 Baby birthday the only thing right, And I got work 0:42:52.719 --> 0:42:55.120 out at six. But you know, I'm watching Miss Marvel 0:42:55.200 --> 0:42:58.640 on Disney Plus and there's a welcome to New Jerney 0:43:00.400 --> 0:43:03.120 just to see it. Yeah, she's the first Muslim superhero. 0:43:03.400 --> 0:43:06.160 She's on top of the sign, right, So I thought 0:43:06.239 --> 0:43:08.520 you was gonna say that you wanted to be up 0:43:08.520 --> 0:43:11.640 there and sitting next to her on it. That's a 0:43:11.840 --> 0:43:27.520 birthday anxiety to No. No, I'm gonna drive by. Well, 0:43:27.640 --> 0:43:30.279 I'm sure season. I got a couple more questions because 0:43:30.360 --> 0:43:32.400 you know you said earlier, you said this is a things, 0:43:32.920 --> 0:43:35.160 So what do black creators need to do to get there? 0:43:35.480 --> 0:43:39.320 Just do manage your expectations on getting that just do 0:43:40.520 --> 0:43:43.319 you know. Usually my answer is, you know, be good, 0:43:43.880 --> 0:43:46.800 be better than you know. Set the bar, don't just 0:43:47.000 --> 0:43:48.759 get to the bar, and in fact raise the bar. 0:43:49.120 --> 0:43:54.040 Those are fantastic goals to have and more than likely attainable. 0:43:54.640 --> 0:43:57.000 But at the end of the day, you can do 0:43:57.200 --> 0:44:01.120 all of that, and if your goal is is beyond 0:44:01.280 --> 0:44:04.840 what you can control, then you know you have to 0:44:04.920 --> 0:44:09.200 manage that expectation. Great example years ago, Blair and I 0:44:09.280 --> 0:44:12.160 were to Blair and Wood and I were talking about auditioning, 0:44:12.960 --> 0:44:16.680 and he said, you know, make the goal something other 0:44:16.760 --> 0:44:20.880 than booking the gig, because that's actually not in your control. 0:44:20.920 --> 0:44:23.680 You can go in there crush it and not book 0:44:23.719 --> 0:44:27.200 it because of circumstances beyond your control. They've already cast, 0:44:27.239 --> 0:44:30.160 they're going with a different type of look, they're going 0:44:30.239 --> 0:44:32.560 with a different name, all kinds of things, and so 0:44:33.480 --> 0:44:35.839 what is the goal. But don't make the goal something 0:44:35.880 --> 0:44:38.160 pressurized like I gotta book this to pay my rent, 0:44:38.360 --> 0:44:40.399 I gotta book this to get the light bill paid, 0:44:40.480 --> 0:44:42.680 or my baby's needs us, whatever it is, because that 0:44:42.840 --> 0:44:45.680 pressure will then mess you up and you won't be 0:44:45.719 --> 0:44:49.080 able to be at your best. But when you find 0:44:49.200 --> 0:44:52.560 that space where you are not in a pressurized moment. 0:44:53.400 --> 0:44:57.440 Then make the goal something that you can control. So 0:44:57.680 --> 0:45:00.680 that's what I think when I say manage your at spectations. 0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:03.840 My last question, you grew up in the entertainment industry. 0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:07.400 What was the best and worst advice you received. Thankfully, 0:45:07.520 --> 0:45:10.359 I've not had any bad advice, and if I had, 0:45:10.440 --> 0:45:13.879 I guess I just didn't listen. So but my best 0:45:13.960 --> 0:45:17.240 advice was from my mom and she, I mean, my goodness. 0:45:17.280 --> 0:45:19.440 When I wrote my autobiography, I just felt like it 0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:22.560 should be called, you know, chips gems because my mother 0:45:22.680 --> 0:45:25.359 just dropped gem after gem in my life. But when 0:45:25.400 --> 0:45:27.960 I was growing up, like one of the early days 0:45:28.000 --> 0:45:30.719 of facts of life, and she said, you started a 0:45:30.880 --> 0:45:34.200 hundred percent and everything that you do and say every 0:45:34.280 --> 0:45:36.960 day that you're here either keeps you here or it 0:45:37.000 --> 0:45:41.960 can chip away, right, And I was like, okay, all right, 0:45:42.280 --> 0:45:44.800 that's that's all right. And then the second piece of 0:45:44.840 --> 0:45:47.640 advice when I went to do the audition for the 0:45:47.680 --> 0:45:50.680 Miss butter or Sarah commercial, so Janet was there and 0:45:50.800 --> 0:45:52.680 that was the first time that I'd even seen her 0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:55.000 met her and you know, they had those jacks in 0:45:55.120 --> 0:45:58.160 Summer special, yes, and so I knew who she was, 0:45:58.200 --> 0:46:00.560 and I've gotten to that and that was my first audition, 0:46:00.680 --> 0:46:03.000 first time doing anything. We had just got in LA 0:46:03.480 --> 0:46:06.719 and I thought, oh my god, that's Danna Jackson. I 0:46:06.760 --> 0:46:08.600 don't belong here. I want to go home. I want 0:46:08.640 --> 0:46:11.759 to go home. And I got terrified. I'm very insecure, 0:46:12.120 --> 0:46:15.240 and my mom took me into the bathroom and she said, listen, 0:46:15.880 --> 0:46:18.920 she's not doing anything to you. You were doing this 0:46:19.280 --> 0:46:24.440 to yourself. Don't let anything or anybody intimidate you of 0:46:24.600 --> 0:46:27.120 your own doing. But don't don't do it. And there 0:46:27.160 --> 0:46:29.520 are times to this day guys, if I'm like feeling 0:46:29.840 --> 0:46:31.760 you know, some kind of way or in my feelings 0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:35.440 and feeling like, oh, I'm not sure whatever, and you know, 0:46:35.640 --> 0:46:38.759 my level of confidence or my security is not on 0:46:38.960 --> 0:46:42.760 full blast, I will go into the bathroom and tell myself, 0:46:42.880 --> 0:46:47.160 don't let anything or anyone intimidate you. And especially when 0:46:47.200 --> 0:46:49.319 you're doing that to yourself and they're not even doing 0:46:49.360 --> 0:46:53.520 anything to you, don't you allow your own mind to 0:46:53.680 --> 0:47:01.319 do that. So those are the right having the syndrome, yeah, 0:47:01.440 --> 0:47:05.120 always feeling worthy, which is two things that you always 0:47:05.200 --> 0:47:08.920 deal with matter how old you are. That's right, absolutely, absolutely, 0:47:09.200 --> 0:47:12.200 And so that level of security, you know, really really 0:47:12.440 --> 0:47:16.600 helps seal seal the deal for me. Yeah. Well, check 0:47:16.640 --> 0:47:19.720 out the Upshore season two right now, and we appreciate 0:47:19.760 --> 0:47:24.000 you for joining the legendary man. Thank you. You're right listen, 0:47:24.160 --> 0:47:26.560 I'm so glad that I was able to finally get 0:47:26.680 --> 0:47:29.880 here and finally meet you. Happy birthday, Thank you, Thank you. 0:47:30.000 --> 0:47:34.040 Have an amazing, amazing next chapter filled with so much 0:47:34.440 --> 0:47:40.440 adventure and wonder and success and being grounded. Happy birthday, 0:47:41.600 --> 0:47:43.480 Yes indeed, and go on and sit up there next 0:47:43.520 --> 0:47:52.399 to her. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. 0:47:52.520 --> 0:47:56.200 Your mornings will never be the same. What it's trying 0:47:56.200 --> 0:47:58.279 to get with someone special. The best way to do 0:47:58.360 --> 0:48:01.720 it is with Magnum large side condoms. That gold foil 0:48:01.760 --> 0:48:04.000 wrapper is a badge of honor and it means you're 0:48:04.040 --> 0:48:07.160 protected and you take care of things with comfort. Accept 0:48:07.200 --> 0:48:10.000 no substitute. So bring the pleasure with the gold standard 0:48:10.160 --> 0:48:23.319 Magnum large size condumns. You are. I'm gonna fatten all 0:48:23.360 --> 0:48:26.839 that shit around your eye. This man Doden Blowers. Many 0:48:26.880 --> 0:48:32.600 wait for Charlom judgment, the donkey of the day. They 0:48:32.760 --> 0:48:36.160 chose you the breakfast Club. Bitches, who's donkey of the 0:48:36.280 --> 0:48:39.080 day to day Wow, donkey of today goes to the 0:48:39.120 --> 0:48:43.399 police in Putnella's County, Florida, and twenty seven year old 0:48:43.440 --> 0:48:46.360 Caitlin O'Donovan in twenty nine year old Sarah Franks of 0:48:46.440 --> 0:48:49.080 clear Water, Florida. All of y'all getting dunkey of today 0:48:49.120 --> 0:48:52.120 because clearly none of y'all have anything better to do. Now, 0:48:52.200 --> 0:48:55.719 what does your uncle Charlot always tell you about the 0:48:55.800 --> 0:48:58.279 great state of Florida? What has your uncle Charla been 0:48:58.320 --> 0:49:00.840 telling you on this radio for the path eleven years 0:49:01.280 --> 0:49:03.800 about the great state of Florida. The craziest people in 0:49:03.840 --> 0:49:05.640 America come from the Bronx and all the Florida. And 0:49:05.680 --> 0:49:07.960 I must say, in recent years there is other places 0:49:08.000 --> 0:49:11.160 in America trying to take Florida's crown. Texas, I'm talking 0:49:11.239 --> 0:49:14.040 to you, okay, But Florida, y'all still have the crown, 0:49:14.040 --> 0:49:16.120 all right, y'all still the kings of the thing. All right. Now, 0:49:16.200 --> 0:49:18.080 If I told you that someone was charged with the 0:49:18.160 --> 0:49:21.120 Sultan battery, what would you think, nvy a Sultan battery? 0:49:21.120 --> 0:49:22.719 What would you think? But the first thing that comes 0:49:22.760 --> 0:49:27.160 to your mind punching somebody? Yeah, right, that's the textbook definition, 0:49:27.239 --> 0:49:30.200 it's an act of physical violence. Assault refers to the 0:49:30.320 --> 0:49:36.120 act which causes the victim to receive imminent physical harm, okay, 0:49:36.360 --> 0:49:39.920 while battery refers to the actual act causing the physical harm. 0:49:39.960 --> 0:49:42.279 Oh no, let me say that again. Assault refers to 0:49:42.360 --> 0:49:46.560 the act which causes the victim to apprehend imminent physical harm, 0:49:46.600 --> 0:49:49.920 while battery refers to the actual act causing the physical harm. 0:49:50.000 --> 0:49:52.839 So hitting, a punching somebody all right, forcibly causing them 0:49:52.920 --> 0:49:55.399 pain is a Sultan battery. I actually think that when 0:49:55.440 --> 0:49:57.759 somebody gets their ass kick, we've been doing ourselves a 0:49:57.800 --> 0:50:00.680 disservice by saying they simply got beat up, all right. 0:50:00.719 --> 0:50:03.040 When somebody gets done dirty, we should say, man, you 0:50:03.200 --> 0:50:06.160 got batted, all right. Badded sound is way worse than 0:50:06.280 --> 0:50:08.560 beat up. Even if you threaten somebody, keep it up. 0:50:08.760 --> 0:50:11.320 I'm a batter your ass, all right. Don't make me 0:50:11.400 --> 0:50:14.480 battery your punk ass, all right. That's why words matter 0:50:14.600 --> 0:50:16.480 in the context of words matter, because it sounds so 0:50:16.600 --> 0:50:20.000 cute when you think of batter in the context of pancakes, waffles, 0:50:20.080 --> 0:50:22.440 red velvet cake, and it is all those things. But 0:50:22.520 --> 0:50:24.560 when you say y'all batter or breaks off, you boy, 0:50:25.200 --> 0:50:27.360 it changes things, all right? Could that work in the 0:50:27.440 --> 0:50:29.680 context of prize fighting? Like if I say, Jake Paul batted, 0:50:30.239 --> 0:50:32.680 you know, Nate Robinson or Jake Paul badded Tyrone Woodley. 0:50:32.760 --> 0:50:34.320 No disrespect to those brothers at all, But I'm just 0:50:34.320 --> 0:50:36.239 trying to show y'all what battery looks like. We've all 0:50:36.280 --> 0:50:38.400 been on World Stoffer years. We've seen what you know 0:50:39.400 --> 0:50:41.759 battery is. We know what it looks like when someone 0:50:41.840 --> 0:50:44.799 gets dragged. You know who else knows what battery looks 0:50:44.840 --> 0:50:48.040 like more than anybody? The police, all right. The police 0:50:48.120 --> 0:50:50.960 arrest folks for assulting battery all the time. Hey, sometimes 0:50:51.040 --> 0:50:54.080 someone gets batted, and depending on the situation, police don't 0:50:54.080 --> 0:50:56.440 even arrest them, might detain them until they cool off, 0:50:56.480 --> 0:50:58.560 but they don't take them to jail because it's bigger 0:50:58.600 --> 0:51:01.000 fish to fry, bigger issue out here in folks having 0:51:01.000 --> 0:51:03.960 a kerfuffle here and there, but not in Florida. Nope, 0:51:04.200 --> 0:51:08.440 in Florida, one person's kerfuffle, one persons skirmish is another 0:51:08.480 --> 0:51:10.680 person's battery. Now, I know there's a lot of law 0:51:10.800 --> 0:51:13.520 enforcement that listens to the breakfast club. Salute all the 0:51:13.560 --> 0:51:16.239 police officers out there that listen I need y'all to 0:51:16.320 --> 0:51:18.840 tell me if I'm tripping. Okay, when you see me 0:51:18.880 --> 0:51:20.319 in the streets, if you want to call love, tell 0:51:20.360 --> 0:51:23.080 me if I'm tripping. For giving the Pennellas County, Florida 0:51:23.160 --> 0:51:25.759 police the biggest he had for arresting these two women, 0:51:25.800 --> 0:51:28.400 because when I heard this story, I just shook my 0:51:28.520 --> 0:51:30.840 head and said to myself, life as we know it 0:51:31.360 --> 0:51:33.600 is really a dramedy. Let's go to w FLA for 0:51:33.680 --> 0:51:36.239 the report. Police. A few women here smiling in their 0:51:36.360 --> 0:51:39.080 mug shots but facing felony charges. Up the police that 0:51:39.160 --> 0:51:42.080 they threw glitter at a man during an argument in 0:51:42.280 --> 0:51:45.800 Pennellas County, Florida. And no, glitter isn't some slang for 0:51:45.880 --> 0:51:48.400 something you've never heard of. We're talking about the shiny 0:51:48.400 --> 0:51:51.160 stuff glitter here in the story. This is twenty seven 0:51:51.200 --> 0:51:55.040 year old Caitlin O'Donovan and twenty nine year old Sarah Franks, 0:51:55.080 --> 0:51:58.120 both women, according to Clearwater police, throwing a container of 0:51:58.360 --> 0:52:02.280 glitter at the victim during an argument. The arrest affidavit 0:52:02.320 --> 0:52:04.680 statement that the man was hit in the head and 0:52:04.880 --> 0:52:07.760 in the torso. Now officers said that Franks then climbed 0:52:07.800 --> 0:52:11.560 over a balcony fence, went into the man's apartment and 0:52:11.800 --> 0:52:16.480 threw more containers of glitter at him. Franks and O'Donovan 0:52:16.520 --> 0:52:19.560 are both arrested and charge with delany burglary with assault 0:52:19.920 --> 0:52:23.759 or battery. Yeah, and the arrest Affadavid also said the 0:52:23.880 --> 0:52:27.399 vehicle was still warm when the police, you know, found 0:52:27.480 --> 0:52:30.040 the car, and glitter was inside of it when police 0:52:30.040 --> 0:52:32.560 found it as well. I wanted today buy all this 0:52:32.640 --> 0:52:34.920 glitter somewhere in Florida recently or was it just a 0:52:35.000 --> 0:52:38.560 lot of leftover glitter from Christmas? We're talking glitter man, 0:52:39.239 --> 0:52:41.880 Glitter like the two thousand and one Mariah Carrey movie. Okay, 0:52:41.920 --> 0:52:45.040 glitter like Little Kim's iconic purple tasty jumpsuit from the 0:52:45.160 --> 0:52:47.760 ninety nine MS. Now, I'm not making no excuses Franks 0:52:47.800 --> 0:52:50.279 and O'Donovan. That's why they're sharing in this donkey as well. 0:52:50.440 --> 0:52:52.920 They went to that manhouse, they kicked the window until 0:52:52.960 --> 0:52:55.480 it broke. Okay, they broke into that man's apartment, started 0:52:55.600 --> 0:52:58.200 arguing with him and through containers a glitter. That's breaking 0:52:58.239 --> 0:53:01.440 an entering disorderly conduct. Got the most all right, but 0:53:01.600 --> 0:53:04.279 charging them for battery, taking them to jail and filling 0:53:04.320 --> 0:53:07.120 out paperwork because these two young ladies did some glitter bombing. 0:53:07.880 --> 0:53:09.720 Maybe they lesbians and it was an act of protest. 0:53:09.800 --> 0:53:12.680 Don't the LGBT community use glitter as an act of protest. 0:53:13.120 --> 0:53:14.880 Maybe the guy was dating one of the women and 0:53:14.960 --> 0:53:17.439 she found out he was batting for the other team. 0:53:17.520 --> 0:53:19.920 Who knows, so she decided to batter him with glitter. 0:53:20.000 --> 0:53:24.160 There is something gold dusty here, don't you think. By 0:53:24.200 --> 0:53:25.800 the way, if this is the route we're going in America, 0:53:25.920 --> 0:53:28.160 Dustin Rose, they are about to bring up bring up 0:53:28.200 --> 0:53:31.000 a bunch of retroactive charges against you and the WWE 0:53:31.280 --> 0:53:33.480 for all that glitter. You know what I'm doing people's faces? Okay, 0:53:33.520 --> 0:53:35.560 if you ask me, these women should be arrested for 0:53:35.600 --> 0:53:37.759 breaking in that man's house, but charged with a salt 0:53:37.800 --> 0:53:42.080 and battery for thrown glitter bo humbug. Okay. I understand 0:53:42.160 --> 0:53:45.240 some legal offices argue glitter bombing is a Sultan battery 0:53:45.320 --> 0:53:48.160 because it's possible for glitter that into the eyes or 0:53:48.320 --> 0:53:52.200 nose and caused damage that leads the infection depending on 0:53:52.280 --> 0:53:54.080 the size of the glitter. But do you really have 0:53:54.239 --> 0:53:56.880 a case about glitter going in your nose? If you 0:53:57.000 --> 0:54:00.680 already snort cocaine that has nothing to do with nothing, 0:54:00.800 --> 0:54:03.279 But the moral of the story is Pernella's Police. Y'all 0:54:03.280 --> 0:54:06.320 don't have anything better to do. Please give the Pernella's 0:54:06.320 --> 0:54:09.280 County Police Department and the two young ladies Caitlyn O'Donovan 0:54:09.320 --> 0:54:12.080 and Sarah Franks the sweet sounds of the Hamletones. Oh 0:54:12.280 --> 0:54:23.359 no you are dogee, Oh the day, the dogee, Oh 0:54:23.560 --> 0:54:31.440 the day. Yeah. I was about to play something too, 0:54:31.480 --> 0:54:34.640 but I'm not doing that in me. No, no, no, no, 0:54:34.680 --> 0:54:35.759 we don't have to play a game. These are the 0:54:35.800 --> 0:54:41.920 two people, right, Sarah Franks, Caitlyn O'Donovan O'Donovan. Come on, 0:54:42.520 --> 0:54:45.760 come on, that'd be funny, though the fight with somebody 0:54:45.800 --> 0:54:48.400 just stop glittering their face, that would not be funny. 0:54:48.440 --> 0:54:51.239 I'm telling you that's something bigger here. I really think that, 0:54:51.320 --> 0:54:52.759 you know, one of them was dating the dude to 0:54:52.760 --> 0:54:54.759 the dude started messing around another guy. But that's just 0:54:54.880 --> 0:54:58.160 me and how my brain works, because that's very specific. 0:54:58.239 --> 0:54:59.960 To go to somebody house with glitter that means something. 0:55:01.000 --> 0:55:03.600 I'm blaking. I'm bringing glitter Hill on Monday. Just know 0:55:03.760 --> 0:55:08.480 that what I ain't gold dust get that time.

Okay, 0:55:13.200 --> 0:55:14.680 So if you're gonna go there and go there, Nope, 0:55:14.680 --> 0:55:16.800 I'm not going in anything. Thank you for that. Donkey 0:55:16.840 --> 0:55:19.960 to day.

And you should 0:56:31.280 --> 0:56:33.839 wear condoms now, so you don't have a fourth baby mama, 0:56:33.880 --> 0:56:37.040 because your protection game is clearly trash, very trash.

And 1:03:53.320 --> 1:03:56.560 my question is primarily from Charlotmagne and Charlotmagne, I too, 1:03:56.680 --> 1:03:59.000 am from Charleston. Love your book.

I primarily wanted to know 1:04:05.640 --> 1:04:08.560 I wrote a book myself. I'm twenty two, pretty young, 1:04:08.960 --> 1:04:12.120 so I'm not really familiar with how to publish. Is 1:04:12.160 --> 1:04:14.680 it better to self publish or is it better to 1:04:14.880 --> 1:04:18.720 go through a publishing agency? Well, I have a publishing agency. 1:04:18.880 --> 1:04:21.200 I'm with Touchdown, Seaman and Shuston, But I don't see 1:04:21.240 --> 1:04:23.680 any problem with self publishing. Needs. I think self publishing 1:04:23.760 --> 1:04:25.800 is dope. I buy a lot of books from people 1:04:26.080 --> 1:04:28.160 who actually self published. I mean, you know you got 1:04:28.200 --> 1:04:31.160 Amazon right there. You can, you know, press up as 1:04:31.200 --> 1:04:33.440 many copies as you can afford to press up and 1:04:33.600 --> 1:04:36.240 put them up on Amazon. Why don't you send what happens? 1:04:36.360 --> 1:04:37.800 Don't you send a book a pad and let us 1:04:37.800 --> 1:04:39.880 read it and shout you out? Oh?

I 1:04:48.040 --> 1:04:50.000 just don't know where to go from here. It took 1:04:50.040 --> 1:04:51.960 me about a year to write it pretty much. Was 1:04:52.080 --> 1:04:55.040 talking about is it on paper like loose leaf paper 1:04:55.200 --> 1:04:57.440 or is it in book form? I have it in 1:04:57.480 --> 1:04:59.960 book form on my iPhone. I mean you could try both. 1:05:00.000 --> 1:05:01.520 So you can try to shop it to a publisher 1:05:01.560 --> 1:05:03.000 if a publisher don't want, and then you put it 1:05:03.040 --> 1:05:05.919 out yourself on Amazon.

Everybody 1:05:16.960 --> 1:05:19.000 in my town listen to a radio basis, so I'm 1:05:19.080 --> 1:05:21.640 like all let me just keep it anount of it. 1:05:21.720 --> 1:05:25.640 But what's your question, you guys doing? My question is okay. 1:05:25.720 --> 1:05:28.080 So I have two children by two different men, and 1:05:28.440 --> 1:05:37.560 twins project twins. My youngest father is a dead beat. However, 1:05:37.720 --> 1:05:40.600 my oldest his dad. You know, he saw a bed 1:05:41.000 --> 1:05:42.840 and he feels as though, you know, this is his 1:05:43.000 --> 1:05:45.880 son's sister. He stopped in and he plays that role 1:05:46.000 --> 1:05:50.280 in my child's life. Now, three years later, her father 1:05:50.280 --> 1:05:52.920 want to come into picture, and she has such a 1:05:53.040 --> 1:05:56.040 great connection and she's very attached to my son's father. 1:05:56.640 --> 1:05:58.400 I don't know if I should let him in because 1:05:58.440 --> 1:06:02.240 he's full of disappointments and he's been in the same 1:06:02.320 --> 1:06:05.160 building with her before and didn't acknowledge her in public. 1:06:05.520 --> 1:06:07.840 So why should I let you in now? I don't 1:06:07.880 --> 1:06:09.520 think you have a choice. I don't. I don't think 1:06:09.520 --> 1:06:12.160 you have a choice. I think if he's the real daddy, 1:06:12.240 --> 1:06:14.680 that can he come see his daughter. He lives four 1:06:14.760 --> 1:06:18.800 minutes away and she hasn't seen him in almost two years. Yeah, 1:06:18.840 --> 1:06:20.920 I would say it's never too late, man, But I mean, 1:06:21.040 --> 1:06:23.680 if he not really making a he's not making a 1:06:23.720 --> 1:06:25.520 real effort to being a child's life, and if he 1:06:25.560 --> 1:06:27.800 ain't got no money. Why I confuse the poor kids 1:06:28.120 --> 1:06:29.480 about the money with you? You know what I'm saying? 1:06:29.520 --> 1:06:31.200 Why I confuse the poor kids? Still? He might be 1:06:31.240 --> 1:06:32.880 want to change you Ala, we talk about people changing. 1:06:32.920 --> 1:06:34.480 Maybe this man was the change. She gotta fire the 1:06:34.520 --> 1:06:37.560 fingure in her life. He's called He's called in like 1:06:37.760 --> 1:06:39.600 every month he calls and say, hey, I want to 1:06:39.600 --> 1:06:41.960 pick her up this weekend and the weekend coming. I 1:06:42.000 --> 1:06:44.000 don't hear from him at all. Oh yeah, now you 1:06:44.040 --> 1:06:45.840 got to box some mouth changing them. But don't even 1:06:45.880 --> 1:06:49.800 mess with him.

He's swinging 1:07:08.760 --> 1:07:11.680 at people things and broke baby daddies. That's the embodiment 1:07:11.720 --> 1:07:16.200 of that negativity. All right.
