Speaker 1: the last time I've been to a restaurant. That's a
Speaker 1: good point. I haven't been in a long time, Not
Speaker 1: in America, not in America, in America. And I will
Speaker 1: say I've always been really intentional on supporting a lot
Speaker 1: of the black owned restaurants, especially in Brooklyn, because I
Speaker 1: know places have had a really tough time and business
Speaker 1: has dropped since all these vaccination requirements in order to
Speaker 1: even go in. So I always make sure I support

Speaker 1: hours of ten PM in midnight because that's when the harmonies. Yes,
Speaker 1: you have to be in bed by if you're not
Speaker 1: sleeping between those two hours, because most most of your
Speaker 1: HGH is dispressed in your body between those two hours. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I was thinking, too weird. When I
Speaker 1: go out of town, I go out to eat because
Speaker 1: I'm usually at a hotel. When I'm home, I'm usually
Speaker 1: I'm usually doing corny stuff with the kids, playing games,

Speaker 1: I'm God bless. All right, well let's get the show
Speaker 1: cracking front page news. What are we talking about, Well,
Speaker 1: you are going to talk about Joe Biden. Over eighty
Speaker 1: lawmakers want him to release a memo outlining his authority
Speaker 1: on student debt cancelation. All right, we'll get into that next.
Speaker 1: It's the breakfast Club. Good morning. Yeah, I might. I
Speaker 1: might go see Don now if the weather's good and
Speaker 1: you gotta need a babysitter. No, I got older kids.
Speaker 1: The older kids that. Oh yeah, for god, damn, you
Speaker 1: do got old? That's what that? Oh that's a blessing.
Speaker 1: But they think they're gonna live rep free. Oh that's
Speaker 1: a blessing, school for free. I can't wait for that.
Speaker 1: In fin, he got a babysit. Oh that's a blessing,
Speaker 1: all right. Right, let's get got a young young one
Speaker 1: eating the new one. She's in college. Yes, I don't care.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to do that to madage. Manage might
Speaker 1: want to enjoy her weekend. Do that's not every weekend,
Speaker 1: but every once in a while. Look, how do you
Speaker 1: think that that that colleague gonna get paidful? Now, don't
Speaker 1: you have a nanny? Yes? Oh so she good? Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right, Well let's get into front page news where
Speaker 1: we started. More than eighty lawmakers in the House and
Speaker 1: the Senate went President Biden to publicly release information on
Speaker 1: his legal authority to cancel student loan debt. Now, in
Speaker 1: the letter, they want him to direct the Department of
Speaker 1: Education to publicly release a memo that they ordered last
Speaker 1: year outlining the president's authority to cancel those loans. And
Speaker 1: they also want him to use all the tools at
Speaker 1: his disposal to deliver relief to the millions of families
Speaker 1: inspired by the proposal to make a debt free college
Speaker 1: degree within their reach by a limiting up to fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in federal student loan debt for all families
Speaker 1: before payments resumed. Now, since his campaign, he has called
Speaker 1: for a minimum of ten thousand dollars in federal student
Speaker 1: loans to be canceled per borrower, and he is willing
Speaker 1: to go as high as well. He's pushing back on
Speaker 1: calls from Democrats they want him to go as high
Speaker 1: as fifty thousand dollars or to wipe out federal student
Speaker 1: loan debt entirely. They did say they've canceled fifteen billion
Speaker 1: dollars in student loan debt during his first year in office,
Speaker 1: and they released a press release from the Department of
Speaker 1: Education stating that now is that state college, community college,
Speaker 1: private college, or that's all colleges. I think those are
Speaker 1: the loans have to be, don't they have to be
Speaker 1: like a federal loans. I have no yeah, I have
Speaker 1: no idea what that means, but it sounds like they
Speaker 1: just want to know what it is he can or
Speaker 1: can't do because of the campaign promise that he made
Speaker 1: when he pledged to cancel at least ten thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a student debt per person, which he has reniged on.
Speaker 1: I mean, if they could figure out a way to
Speaker 1: wipe out student loans, that would be amazing. I mean
Speaker 1: I think, well, not you, Charlagne, But when you got it,
Speaker 1: when we all got out of college and we had
Speaker 1: to start paying that loan, it was tougher from I
Speaker 1: want my money back, Well, we're not gonna get that
Speaker 1: money back e. But it was difficult. You know, you
Speaker 1: had to get a job, you had to make sure
Speaker 1: you could pay as so a lot of times you
Speaker 1: can't start your career because you have to start paying
Speaker 1: them college loans. You know. After a while, I remember
Speaker 1: we had the Secretary of Education up him and we
Speaker 1: was asking them what happened to the you know, the
Speaker 1: student loans that the ten thousand dollars I was supposed
Speaker 1: to go to each person. And he started talking to
Speaker 1: us about all of the student loans that that they
Speaker 1: got people with disabilities out of and everything else. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's great, but what about the campaign promise or the
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars per student? You know, for whatever reason
Speaker 1: they keep ducking that question. So it sounds to me
Speaker 1: like the lawmakers just want to know what it is
Speaker 1: they can or can't do. And let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: If they cancer that, so no one pays it, like
Speaker 1: the money doesn't come from anywhere, and what happens like
Speaker 1: the government takes care of it. Yeah, I'm just how
Speaker 1: does that because university still gotta get paid some house somewhere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when somebody give me a check and tell me that
Speaker 1: the debt is free, I don't care about where they
Speaker 1: got the money from it. I'm just curious, how does
Speaker 1: that work? Yeah, it's probably all taxpayer of dollars, more
Speaker 1: than likely. Now. Joe Biden is also standing by his
Speaker 1: campaign promise to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: They just announced that Justice Stephen Briars set to retire
Speaker 1: at the end of this current term, and so, according
Speaker 1: to Jansaki, the White House Press secretary, that is going
Speaker 1: to happen. There was too they played it from me earlier.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. He got it hypothetically, but
Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice was to retire and announce it on
Speaker 1: his or her own terms. Does President Biden plan to
Speaker 1: honor his pledge to nominate a black woman to the Court. Well,
Speaker 1: I've commented on this previously. The President has stated and
Speaker 1: reiterated his commitment to nominating a black woman to the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court and certainly stands by that um for today. Again,
Speaker 1: I'm just not going to be able to say anything
Speaker 1: about any specifics until, of course, Justice Briar makes any announcement,
Speaker 1: should he decide to make an announcement. That's a campaign
Speaker 1: promise he has to keep because he made that. The
Speaker 1: you know, OG black elected officials in the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: like that already have a likely replacement too. Who's that, um,
Speaker 1: Judge Katangi Brown Jackson, a Harvard trained jurist who sits
Speaker 1: on the same DC Circuit Court that was home to
Speaker 1: Brett Cavanaugh before he was nominated to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: And you know in the court there's only been two
Speaker 1: black justices Thirdgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas. That black woman
Speaker 1: has never been nominated to the Supreme Court, let alone confirmed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was that was That was a campaign promise that
Speaker 1: he made to a lot of og black elected officials.
Speaker 1: They were like, yo, we're not endorsing you if you
Speaker 1: don't you know promise promised to give us a black
Speaker 1: woman on the Supreme Court. One black elected official in
Speaker 1: particular who really turned the tide. His name was OLDG.
Speaker 1: Jim Clapburn and Jim Claiburn. Well, they said he stands
Speaker 1: by it so good. That is your front page news.
Speaker 1: All right, get it all few chips. Eight on drink

Speaker 1: you need to vent. Phone lines a wide open again.

Speaker 1: so can I can sue them for that? If they
Speaker 1: made up a bunch of lies, that's information, and if
Speaker 1: you can prove that it was a malicious intent? Yes,
Speaker 1: oh cost you some coins as I'm trying them. And
Speaker 1: if they don't have the money, you probably ain't gonna

Speaker 1: Mark Lytle Strength for the wild Mark. What up? Get
Speaker 1: you off her chess? Brother? So, how y'all doing this morning?
Speaker 1: Doing well? Brother? How you? I'm love man? On my
Speaker 1: way to work. I was concentrating here. And I don't
Speaker 1: like the term culture vulture or not sharing with the
Speaker 1: culture or take it from the culture. Why. I look
Speaker 1: at it as like to be of the culture. Right,
Speaker 1: Usually you're in a position to create something to share
Speaker 1: amongst people, and if you're sometimes you're just gonna spit over.
Speaker 1: You're going to share what people who aren't necessarily from
Speaker 1: the culture. But when you get into a certain position,
Speaker 1: we're asking the creators of culture based stuff to ask
Speaker 1: what you contributed to the culture and do more than
Speaker 1: the n actual purchaser of the product. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's fair. I think the product is the contribution to
Speaker 1: the culture. I look at it differently. I look at
Speaker 1: it like, you know, the culture was created let's say
Speaker 1: let's say something was created in the hip hop community
Speaker 1: and the black community and the Bronx right like hip
Speaker 1: hop right, and those brothers created that out of love.
Speaker 1: Then you have somebody who's not from the bronx seeing
Speaker 1: what they did and made billions off of it, and
Speaker 1: those brothers that created got nothing. And if you don't
Speaker 1: give back to those communities that created it, I think
Speaker 1: that you're a culture voture. How do you take something
Speaker 1: from a community and don't give anything backpacked out of it.
Speaker 1: That's culture vulture. Yeah, but don't you think I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that, But don't you think culture
Speaker 1: culture is something that is just shared. Coaching can be closed,
Speaker 1: coaching can be slain, Coaching can be you know, exact music,
Speaker 1: like just people Like a lot of people will sit
Speaker 1: there and bashed Kim Kardashian And I hate to say this,
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't just like the woman. But
Speaker 1: it's not her who's going around and saying, hey, I
Speaker 1: created this style, I came up with it. It's the
Speaker 1: people who are the critics of Kim Kardashian. I don't
Speaker 1: think Kim has ever said and said I got this
Speaker 1: brand new off the back of my mind because its
Speaker 1: influenced by the culture. Because truth be told. If that's
Speaker 1: the case, based off what NB said, then everybody in
Speaker 1: hip hop should be giving back money to those brothers
Speaker 1: in the Bronx, Like literally everybody from every region across
Speaker 1: the world should be paying those brothers back for something
Speaker 1: that they started. Black white. It don't matter because they
Speaker 1: every everybody profited off hip hop. But I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people do. I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: do give it back to the founding fault does to
Speaker 1: make sure that people are straight, whether it's I think
Speaker 1: how you're raised around the millionaire bro who I don't
Speaker 1: disagree with you. But if that's the case, why is
Speaker 1: it that people like syl So can't get their credit?
Speaker 1: You know? Why is it that they can't get their masters?
Speaker 1: Why do we have all? Right? But that's part of
Speaker 1: the from them. But that's what I think, it's part
Speaker 1: of the culture. Voters like you said, like they sign
Speaker 1: them and don't give the them masters. But but that's
Speaker 1: what I think people do. That's just busy. Made a
Speaker 1: profit of it, made made it the business. That's it
Speaker 1: is business. But I think it's it's a coach of
Speaker 1: volture part of it, you know. I mean, you take
Speaker 1: somebody's culture, you make a profit off it, probably because
Speaker 1: they didn't know how to make a profit off of it,
Speaker 1: or they didn't have the money to invest in it,
Speaker 1: and then you don't give back to the yat I
Speaker 1: don't listen. I don't agree. I don't. I don't agree
Speaker 1: with it morally, but I understand it business wise. Isn't
Speaker 1: it the part of the giving back to the business
Speaker 1: of hey, this is what we did, we did this wrong,
Speaker 1: this what's wrong. It's just the next generation the information
Speaker 1: so they don't repeat their mistakes. Is that not giving back? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's giving back absolutely. I think, well, I think we
Speaker 1: I think we all can be uh be vultuish in
Speaker 1: a way. So I think the only way that you can,
Speaker 1: I believe, your back is just to honestly show other
Speaker 1: people how to do it, show other people how to
Speaker 1: make money the way you have. I mean, that's my
Speaker 1: personal opinion. It's a good conversation, like, yeah, y'all have
Speaker 1: a great thing. Man, I gonna hold you up. Have
Speaker 1: a good one too, brother. I was having this conversation
Speaker 1: yesterday about a Black Record executive. You know who owned
Speaker 1: somebody Masters, and I'm like, I can understand business wise,
Speaker 1: you know why they feel like they should hold onto
Speaker 1: the masters, you know what I mean. But then there's
Speaker 1: a part of me that's just like, yo, you black,
Speaker 1: that person black. Just at least give them half, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Make it fair and equitable. But
Speaker 1: I understand if I've invested so much money into this person,
Speaker 1: because it's a Gambley ten million into you and you
Speaker 1: don't probably make but no, do get it back. I
Speaker 1: should be able to, you know, that's the deal that
Speaker 1: we made. That's where the lines get blurred when you're black,
Speaker 1: because then there's there's good it's because it's really just
Speaker 1: good business and bad business. Correct, bad businesses me just
Speaker 1: giving you your Masters and I didn't recoup my money.
Speaker 1: You know, that's just bad business. But people think you
Speaker 1: should do that. No just because you're black. But I
Speaker 1: think what people negotiate deals once something that works out,
Speaker 1: so that it's it's something that's more fair. Who are
Speaker 1: the more fan to what if I still haven't made that.
Speaker 1: I know they've done that with some big artists where
Speaker 1: they initially signed a deal that they were locked in
Speaker 1: that artist blew up, and then they came back to
Speaker 1: the table before the deal was up and renegotiate. Once
Speaker 1: they made their money back, yea, once the keyword, once
Speaker 1: they made their money make money back, because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day is it's an investment. You know.
Speaker 1: The reason the labels are able to promote artists because
Speaker 1: they make money. And if they don't make money, where
Speaker 1: they getting this money from, they just can't it. Hold
Speaker 1: it in the back. They just can't make it in
Speaker 1: the back, you know, back rooms. It oftens to make
Speaker 1: their money back. The perception of it often looks bad,
Speaker 1: but the reality is they probably didn't recoup off this
Speaker 1: person or this individual. That's why they're still holding onto
Speaker 1: their masses. Correct, get it off a few chests eight
Speaker 1: D five five one O five one. Now we got
Speaker 1: rooms on the way. Yes, and get ready for a
Speaker 1: new documentary and DOCI series about Bobby Brown. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. She's filling the team. This is the
Speaker 1: rumor rapport with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right,
Speaker 1: have you wait, wait, wait, you're not gonna spoil alert
Speaker 1: right now because I fell asleep on it last night, right, No, Actually,
Speaker 1: I was going to talk about Ozark because a new
Speaker 1: season has started. I don't know if anybody's been watching it,
Speaker 1: but I guess you kind of have. And you know
Speaker 1: that the new season of Ozark has caused this classic
Speaker 1: song to search to number one on the charts on
Speaker 1: the Reggae Charts one. It plays near the end of
Speaker 1: episode one. Hopefully that's not a spoiler for you. Now,
Speaker 1: I fell asleep, all right. Now. What's interesting about this
Speaker 1: song though, is sister Nancy actually when that song came out,
Speaker 1: she didn't even know how popular it was. She first
Speaker 1: recorded it in nineteen eighty two, and her producer traveled
Speaker 1: the world, so he knew it was playing in other places.
Speaker 1: But she said she only ever heard it one time
Speaker 1: in Jamaica and she wasn't getting any royalties from that song.
Speaker 1: It wasn't until twenty fourteen when she saw the song
Speaker 1: in a reebok ad that she got legal advice on
Speaker 1: her rights for that music. Who was getting all them
Speaker 1: checks before then? Well, she actually was able to get
Speaker 1: checks from the past ten years, but you know, because
Speaker 1: of statute of limitations, that's as far back as she
Speaker 1: could get it, so she says, now she owns fifty

Speaker 1: right Now, DARE is criticizing Euphoria. You know. DARE is
Speaker 1: an anti drug education program, the drug abuse resistance education
Speaker 1: program that first launched in the eighties amidst the so
Speaker 1: called war on drugs. And they are saying that Euphoria
Speaker 1: glamorizes substance abuse and anonymous sex and more. They said,
Speaker 1: rather than further each parents desire to keep their children
Speaker 1: safe from the potentially horrific consequences drug abuse and other
Speaker 1: high risk behavior. HBO television drama Euphoria chooses to misguidedly
Speaker 1: glorify and erroneously depicts high school student drug use, addiction,
Speaker 1: anonymous sex, violence, and other destructive behaviors as common and
Speaker 1: widespread in today's world. You know what day I should
Speaker 1: do before they release statements like that, they should talk
Speaker 1: to parents. And even when you do talk to parents,
Speaker 1: you know, some parents may feel like that, some parents don't.
Speaker 1: You know what that euphoria does. Euphoria actually allows you
Speaker 1: to have conversations, you know, with your young children. You know,
Speaker 1: your child that might be thirteen or in high school
Speaker 1: that you know watches in DAYA and maybe watching that show.
Speaker 1: It opens up a lot of different discussions that you
Speaker 1: can absolutely have with your children. And they do not
Speaker 1: glorify it. Euphoria makes me be like, Lord, have mercy, boy,
Speaker 1: somebody got to talk to these kids out here. It
Speaker 1: does not glorify to glamorize it at all. They seem
Speaker 1: like they're going through it. Yes, all right, well that

Speaker 1: do you not country? It's the only nation in the
Speaker 1: world whose name in English ends with an H, and
Speaker 1: it's all so one of the ten most populous. No go,
Speaker 1: she didn't have it any that does not end with
Speaker 1: the It sounds like anyway. She didn't even make a guess.
Speaker 1: It was blank Bangladesh oh banglad dash shee. They should

Speaker 1: got that? Would have got it? I would have got
Speaker 1: that one easily. Du club Amy. Amy had a great run.
Speaker 1: How much did she make? Told? I know it's over
Speaker 1: a million dollars one point three eight one point three
Speaker 1: eight two million. Yeah, she got my name right. They
Speaker 1: asked her a Jeopardy question about me, and she said
Speaker 1: Charlomagne and God with no hesitation. So salute to you, Amy,
Speaker 1: thirty nine times in a row. You know who won
Speaker 1: the most Ken Jennings. You know how many wins he had?

Speaker 1: Amy was walking around with that Jeopardy money in her bag.
Speaker 1: Sure did well. She did lose to Ron Talisma, who
Speaker 1: was a librarian from Chicago, So congratulations to her, all right,
Speaker 1: Anne as new variants are emerging. Let's turn to COVID
Speaker 1: for a second. The government is thinking about doing a
Speaker 1: universal coronavirus vaccine, so as the virus is continuing to
Speaker 1: evolve into new concerning variants, each with a slightly different
Speaker 1: genetic code. They said, current vaccines still work well against
Speaker 1: new variants, but they're no longer a perfect match because
Speaker 1: usually they have to find a genetic code that's a
Speaker 1: perfect match for the variant. So right now they have
Speaker 1: been tweaking booster shots to match omicron. But now they're
Speaker 1: talking about trying to come up with a pan coronavirus
Speaker 1: vaccine that would work equally well against any COVID nineteen variant.
Speaker 1: And that is a new approach that they are going
Speaker 1: to have that they're aggressively pursuing. And also too, oh
Speaker 1: with Amy from Jeopardy, do you say woman or do
Speaker 1: you say trans woman too? Because no, you want all
Speaker 1: representation to matter, right, I think you said Tran Well
Speaker 1: I don't know, okay, because he says she represents the
Speaker 1: trans community that you didn't know she was trans. All right,
Speaker 1: well that is your rumor reports. All right, thank you news,
Speaker 1: all right, now, when we come back, Jay Shetty will
Speaker 1: be joining us. He's the host of the podcast on Purpose.
Speaker 1: It's a health of wellness podcast. He's a form of
Speaker 1: monk because a Purpose culture New York Times bestselling author.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk to him when we come back,
Speaker 1: all right, So don't move. It's to Breakfast Club, Go Morning,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got
Speaker 1: a special guest in the building, absolutely, Jay Shetty, welcome.
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me himself. Great for to bear man.
Speaker 1: He's a very familiar voice because you got the number
Speaker 1: one health and wellness podcast, spiritual mind fulness podcast on Purpose.
Speaker 1: I've had the pleasure of being a guest on it.
Speaker 1: Phenomenal guest. I loved the episode with Kobe Bryant. I
Speaker 1: loved the episode with Jada Pick. You got a lot
Speaker 1: of great episodes. Yeah, it's I'm really grateful. We've got
Speaker 1: an amazing community. They keep showing up and we've had
Speaker 1: some phenomenal guests. I was just saying, you were one
Speaker 1: of our first guests and like the first three to
Speaker 1: six months of the show and it was brand new,
Speaker 1: so I'm so grateful that you did that. Man, I
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. And I've been hearing a lot of
Speaker 1: people talk about meditation lately, and so you actually help
Speaker 1: guide people through how to meditate, right, Yes, yeah, So
Speaker 1: I spent three years living as a monk in India
Speaker 1: and across Europe, and so I was trained in how
Speaker 1: to meditate from monks who've been practicing for decades, and
Speaker 1: they were practicing ancient meditation techniques for thousands and thousands
Speaker 1: of years. And so when I was trained in that school,
Speaker 1: I felt this responsibility to want to share that with
Speaker 1: the world because it changed my life. And I'm just
Speaker 1: an average kid born and raised in London, and I thought, well,
Speaker 1: if it can help me, then I'm sure it can
Speaker 1: help a lot of people would leads the young man
Speaker 1: want to be a monk. Trust me, I did not
Speaker 1: grow up wanting to be a monk. And if someone
Speaker 1: if someone told me that I was going to grow
Speaker 1: up and become a monk, I probably would have thrown
Speaker 1: a beer I'll at them that I would have been holding.
Speaker 1: But I was born and raised in London and I
Speaker 1: would go in my teens to go and hear from
Speaker 1: people who'd gone from nothing to something. So I was
Speaker 1: fascinated by rags to riches stories. I'd go and hear CEOs, entrepreneurs, athletes, celebrities,
Speaker 1: and this is before podcasts and YouTube, so you actually
Speaker 1: had to go to events. And so I'd go to
Speaker 1: these events. And once my friends told me that a
Speaker 1: monk was speaking, and I was skeptical. I was like,
Speaker 1: what am I going to learn from someone who's gone
Speaker 1: from nothing to nothing? Like, you know, what are they
Speaker 1: going to teach me? And so I said to my friends,
Speaker 1: I'd only go if we go to a bar afterwards.
Speaker 1: I was eighteen years old, and they were being very persuasive,
Speaker 1: so they agreed. So I end up at this event
Speaker 1: at my university waiting to hear this monk speak. I
Speaker 1: go there, I'm looking at the clock, like just waiting
Speaker 1: to leave, and I was just mesmerized. And I don't
Speaker 1: mean that in like a spiritual experience, where I just
Speaker 1: mean like I was captivated by every word that he said.
Speaker 1: And there was nothing externally attractive about him. He was
Speaker 1: wearing robes, he was from India, he wasn't connected to
Speaker 1: me in any other way, but he spoke about service
Speaker 1: and he spoke about purpose, and he spoke about how
Speaker 1: serving others and helping others with your skills and your
Speaker 1: strengths is the greatest thing you can do. And my
Speaker 1: eighteen year old self was just completely penetrating my heart
Speaker 1: and I was just like, that's what I want. And
Speaker 1: now when I look back, I realized that when I
Speaker 1: was eighteen, I'd met people who were rich. I've met
Speaker 1: people who are famous, and met people who are beautiful
Speaker 1: and strong, but I don't think i'd met anyone who
Speaker 1: is truly happy. And that day I felt like I
Speaker 1: met someone who was truly happy and that you just
Speaker 1: felt that energy in this space of being a monk.
Speaker 1: So the process is you wake up at four am
Speaker 1: every day, and what is a monk? Okay, So a
Speaker 1: monk is someone who dedicates themselves to a particular spiritual
Speaker 1: tradition and you genuinely practice celibacy during the time that
Speaker 1: you're a monk. But beyond that, you're waking up every
Speaker 1: day four am meditating for four to eight hours. So
Speaker 1: the morning meditation finishes about eight thirty, then you get
Speaker 1: some breakfast, then you do your daily chores, and then
Speaker 1: the rest of the day we were out serving, So
Speaker 1: we were serving food to the homeless, building sustainable villages,
Speaker 1: helping out in schools, and this was all out in India,
Speaker 1: so a lot of the philanthropy work as well. So
Speaker 1: the morning was about self mastery and the afternoon was
Speaker 1: about serving others. And so that's kind of like the
Speaker 1: rough framework of what a day looks like. You know,
Speaker 1: you said you wanted to be a monk because it
Speaker 1: led you to public service. I feel like that's our
Speaker 1: two purpose in life. Service to others. Yes, you can
Speaker 1: do that without being a monk, So what made you
Speaker 1: want to go full fledge and be a monk? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: And I think the truth is that I didn't see
Speaker 1: anyone living a life of service at that time who
Speaker 1: wasn't living from a spiritual place. It just wasn't as common.
Speaker 1: And now I feel so happy that this conversation is
Speaker 1: happening in the mainstream. But when I was eighteen, that's,
Speaker 1: you know, roughly sixteen seventeen years ago, that wasn't there.
Speaker 1: You didn't see that. You saw the Forbes Rich List,
Speaker 1: you saw that list. You didn't really a service list
Speaker 1: or a purpose list. And I think that's changing. But
Speaker 1: it was also the idea that the self mastery part
Speaker 1: was you're actually going to work on purifying your ego.
Speaker 1: You're actually going to work on your own mind, so
Speaker 1: you're not just going to go out there and try
Speaker 1: and help other people, but you're actually going to deal
Speaker 1: with everything that's going on in here. And I think
Speaker 1: that attracted me that, Wow, I'm going to get X
Speaker 1: amount of time every day to figure out the mess
Speaker 1: that's in here? When am I ever going to get
Speaker 1: that time again? Like? Who's going to give you the two? It? Like?
Speaker 1: You know, because if you want to be if you
Speaker 1: want to join the army, you can enlist in the army.
Speaker 1: If you want to be a police officer, you can
Speaker 1: fill out that application if you want to be there.
Speaker 1: So where do you go to be a monk? So
Speaker 1: there are lots of different monks schools, if I can
Speaker 1: use that word, across the world. There's Tibet, there's India,
Speaker 1: there's you know, there's multiple ones, and I've visited many
Speaker 1: of them. I think it's about finding as always, it
Speaker 1: is a teacher, a guide that you connect with. And
Speaker 1: so for me, I speak about this gentleman Garangadas in
Speaker 1: my book. He was the monk that I felt and
Speaker 1: affection and affinity with and so I wanted to study
Speaker 1: in his school, and so when I was part of
Speaker 1: his institution two hours outside of Mumbai in India, in
Speaker 1: that space, they had a system of what you have
Speaker 1: to practice, what you have to process why. So for example,
Speaker 1: a big part of it was, you know, practicing silence.
Speaker 1: And when you practice silence, people think, oh, that sounds terrible,
Speaker 1: and it does for like seven days, and then after
Speaker 1: that you stop worrying about all the noise outside. You
Speaker 1: start hearing the noise inside, and then you go deeper
Speaker 1: and deeper and deeper. A part of it was practicing fasting, right,
Speaker 1: we were practicing fasting for since control and being able
Speaker 1: to master the tongue and master the desire to eat
Speaker 1: and talk. And so there's so many practices and methods
Speaker 1: that were set up, and service was a big part
Speaker 1: of it to help us actually grow as humans. And
Speaker 1: I really feel that those three years amongks school have
Speaker 1: massively impacted how I lived that life now and I
Speaker 1: left nine years ago, so it's been a fair amount
Speaker 1: of time. Once you're out of school, what was the
Speaker 1: first thing you did, Like, what do you how do
Speaker 1: you apply for positions, What did you do after three years?
Speaker 1: After three years as being a monk, so I thought
Speaker 1: I was going to do it for the rest of
Speaker 1: my life, and after three years it almost felt like
Speaker 1: a failure, like I felt like I messed up, because
Speaker 1: all of that self awareness led me to the feeling
Speaker 1: that I wasn't meant to be a monk, that I
Speaker 1: wasn't actually qualified to live the life of a monk.
Speaker 1: I realized that monk life required a certain sense of
Speaker 1: letting go of the rebellious nature that I had inside
Speaker 1: of me, and also that this calling and desire I
Speaker 1: had in my heart to want to share this wisdom
Speaker 1: and message in a certain way. I always when I
Speaker 1: learned about all these ancient teachings and scriptures, I was like,
Speaker 1: how cool would it be if we could share that
Speaker 1: in a modern, relevant, practical way for the people that
Speaker 1: I grew up with, who maybe wouldn't do this, who
Speaker 1: wouldn't go as far as I did. And so when
Speaker 1: I shared that with the monks, they said, you know,
Speaker 1: they were like, yeah, you know, we agree that we
Speaker 1: think you might be able to help people more if
Speaker 1: you left. I think they were like saying, yeah, it's cool.
Speaker 1: Leave get out of it, but they encouraged it. For me,
Speaker 1: moving on as was actually really difficult. So when I left,
Speaker 1: the first thing I did was come back start listening
Speaker 1: to Drake m Yeah. I did that. First thing. I
Speaker 1: ate a load of chocolate that I hadn't eating for
Speaker 1: three years. I went back into all my old bad
Speaker 1: habits for the first month that I was back, and
Speaker 1: moved back with my parents twenty six years old because
Speaker 1: I felt like I'd failed and I was losing this
Speaker 1: life I'd committed to. Yeah, I was in debt twenty
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars in debt eighteen thousand pounds. School no no, no,
Speaker 1: no no from my university days, like going to college.
Speaker 1: I've gone to college before. Yeah, what did your parents
Speaker 1: think about you going to Monk School and then coming
Speaker 1: back home? So when I first told them, my mom
Speaker 1: was like, where did we go wrong? Right? You know,
Speaker 1: like what did we do wrong? And luckily my you know,
Speaker 1: my parents are very forward thinking and they supported me
Speaker 1: because they could see my heart was in it. And
Speaker 1: I can't really you know, I can't really blame them.
Speaker 1: They did a great job and they were really really supportive.
Speaker 1: But my extended family was like you're never going to
Speaker 1: get a job again, you've been brainwashed. You're never gonna
Speaker 1: get my money again, You're never gonna be you know,
Speaker 1: all that noise from society basically saying you've just committed
Speaker 1: career suicide, and what are you gonna do when it
Speaker 1: doesn't work out? So when it didn't work out, I
Speaker 1: almost felt like I had made what they were saying true,
Speaker 1: and so I kind of came with a lot of
Speaker 1: pain and a lot of stress and pressure thinking all
Speaker 1: these people were right and maybe I was wrong. We
Speaker 1: have more with Jay Shetty when we come back, of course.
Speaker 1: He's the host of On Purpose. It's the number one
Speaker 1: health and wellness podcast. He's a former monk, and we'll
Speaker 1: talk through some more when we come back. It's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club for morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee. Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy we are to Breakfast Club was still kicking
Speaker 1: it with Jay Shetty. He's the host of the On
Speaker 1: Purpose podcasts, a health and wellness podcast. He's a former monk.
Speaker 1: He's a New York Times best selling author, and he's here. Charlomagne.
Speaker 1: You know it's so interesting, man. You became a monk
Speaker 1: because you felt like it gave you a sense of purpose. Yes,
Speaker 1: but then as you were being a monk, you felt
Speaker 1: like you might have been suppressing your purpose. You felt
Speaker 1: like something was big out there. So that's got to
Speaker 1: be psychologically that's a great observation. That is a great
Speaker 1: You phrased it way better than I did. That is
Speaker 1: a great observation. And that's a psychological mind mess because
Speaker 1: you're like, wait, this is And that's when I realized
Speaker 1: that your purpose is not what you wear, where you live,
Speaker 1: what you think everyone thinks of you, because to some degree,
Speaker 1: I'd become attached to living as a monk and that
Speaker 1: becoming my purpose. So when I had to disconnect from that,
Speaker 1: It's like how we say, oh, my marriage is my purpose,
Speaker 1: and then when you get divorced, you're like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: I don't have an identity anymore, or my job is
Speaker 1: my purpose. When you get kicked out of your job,
Speaker 1: you go, oh, I don't have an identity anymore. That's
Speaker 1: what it felt like. It felt like a divorce or
Speaker 1: losing the job of my dreams, which actually led me
Speaker 1: to find my real purpose, which is what I get
Speaker 1: to do today, And what was the voice that you
Speaker 1: heard told you this is what you should do, this
Speaker 1: is the direction you should go with. I feel like
Speaker 1: I had it even when I was there where it
Speaker 1: was just like, there are people who will never ever
Speaker 1: think And this is why I love what you all
Speaker 1: do and what you've done with your work, is there
Speaker 1: are people that will never ever think about their mental health,
Speaker 1: their mental world being about the word meditation or mindfulness
Speaker 1: because it wasn't part of their upbringing. It wasn't a
Speaker 1: word that they heard, same as me. And if I
Speaker 1: can help make that accessible and relevant and practical and
Speaker 1: simple for that person, then my life's going to feel
Speaker 1: like a success. And so I just started to share
Speaker 1: it with everyone. So now I came back. My friends
Speaker 1: were all working, they were making money, they were buying homes,
Speaker 1: they had nice cars. Maybe they were in a relationship,
Speaker 1: but a lot of them were stressed. They were working
Speaker 1: in big city jobs, but they were burnt out. And
Speaker 1: so they started coming to me for advice. And this
Speaker 1: is back in twenty twenty fourteen, and they were saying,
Speaker 1: which you learned about mindfulness and meditation, can you help
Speaker 1: us with out stress? And so very naturally I started
Speaker 1: working with people inside big corporate organizations because that was
Speaker 1: my background, and so now I was seeing that impact
Speaker 1: on these people. And so I was speaking at companies,
Speaker 1: working with people, coaching people, and then finally I took
Speaker 1: a corporate job back to understand and what the setup
Speaker 1: was like. And my executive that was my lead, she
Speaker 1: discovered that I learned meditation. So she put me on
Speaker 1: in front of all my peers to teach meditation to
Speaker 1: a thousand people at our company event. This is before
Speaker 1: any of my online work, and I'm stressing out because
Speaker 1: I'm no one. They're like, this is one of our guys,
Speaker 1: where he's our peer. What are we going to learn
Speaker 1: from him? And it was just a beautiful experience where
Speaker 1: everyone appreciated it, and so I got to see how
Speaker 1: this work could be practical with people from all different
Speaker 1: backgrounds and walks of life. Meditation is a game change.
Speaker 1: Could tell people just some of the benefits of meditation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean meditation as a ton of benefits. Some of
Speaker 1: my favorites are that, of course a boost your moods,
Speaker 1: immune system. One of the most interesting parts about meditation
Speaker 1: that people don't obviously realize is our life is completely
Speaker 1: infiltrated by dopamine. Right, whether it's our phones, whether it's money,
Speaker 1: whether it's purchases, whether it's instant buying dope. Mean, is
Speaker 1: that constantly being released. A meditation helps us balance because
Speaker 1: it creates serotonin and oxytocin. So those are the three
Speaker 1: chemicals that your brain needs to balance, and meditation is
Speaker 1: one of the key things that actually brings about the
Speaker 1: other two. It helps with making sure that your brain's
Speaker 1: in sync. It makes sure that you sleep better. I mean,
Speaker 1: meditation benefits go on and on and on of course
Speaker 1: with anxiety, stress and pressure. But to me, that balancing
Speaker 1: of the chemicals we need is it's probably one of
Speaker 1: the most powerful. And you know, it's very hard to
Speaker 1: find that stillness and that that silence, you know, on
Speaker 1: your own. I tried it for years and couldn't grasp
Speaker 1: the concept until like the symbol of twenty twenty, but
Speaker 1: you helped with the Carmat. Yeah. So I literally just
Speaker 1: two days ago we launched the Daily Jay only on
Speaker 1: Calm and it's a daily meditation for seven minutes that
Speaker 1: I truly believe is going to be a meditation that
Speaker 1: each and every person on the planet can tune into
Speaker 1: and start their practice, and the goal of it was
Speaker 1: to make it as simple so that you can actually
Speaker 1: to say, while you're folding your laundry, while you're doing
Speaker 1: your dishes, while you're making your bed. The goal was,
Speaker 1: how can we bring meditation into people's lives rather than saying,
Speaker 1: take out time out of your day to do this.
Speaker 1: And so we build this program and it's exciting. I'm
Speaker 1: really excited that it's out there. What is meditation? Right?
Speaker 1: And the reason I'm asking is, like Charlemagne said, it
Speaker 1: took him a while to get it. Yeah, So for
Speaker 1: people out there, what is getting meditation? What should they
Speaker 1: be feeling? What should they be seeing? What should they
Speaker 1: be doing? What should they you know, should they be
Speaker 1: sitting in the corner, should they be you know, criss
Speaker 1: cross apple cross apple sauce? So they have their hands
Speaker 1: up like, what is it? Yes? So no, it's a
Speaker 1: great question. It's a great question. I think it's so important.
Speaker 1: I think the first thing I'd like to say is
Speaker 1: that meditation is making time to spend with yourself, as
Speaker 1: simple as that. Right. You make time to check in
Speaker 1: with your friends, your family, your partners, your kids. When
Speaker 1: was the last time you checked him with yourself. Some
Speaker 1: people to say I meditate what I drive because I'm
Speaker 1: just driving. That's and that's a great example. And that's
Speaker 1: a great example, and I actually agree with you. I
Speaker 1: love thinking about life when I'm driving and talking to
Speaker 1: myself and figuring things out. That is a form of meditation.
Speaker 1: That is a beginning step towards meditation. Now, when you
Speaker 1: start getting into meditation as a tool, it goes beyond
Speaker 1: that because now you're bringing your awareness to three different
Speaker 1: types of things in the way I was trained. So
Speaker 1: you have breathwork. When you're focusing on your breath, you're
Speaker 1: learning to navigate your emotions. Second one is visualization. A
Speaker 1: lot of athletes use this before big games. Lewis Hamilton,
Speaker 1: I've heard, used it before he's driving a car. Soccer
Speaker 1: stars use it before they take a free kick. Where
Speaker 1: you're visualizing what's happening in your life or what you're
Speaker 1: about to do. What it does is it prepares your body,
Speaker 1: It prepares the mind, right, So visualization is a way
Speaker 1: of meditating. And the third one is mantra or sound.
Speaker 1: So we all know, I mean, you're in the heart
Speaker 1: of music. We all know that music can make you
Speaker 1: feel different things. Music can make you feel like you
Speaker 1: want to beat someone up, and music can make you
Speaker 1: feel calm. Sounds and mantra really are defined to help
Speaker 1: you have sounds that bring peace and calm to the
Speaker 1: mind and body. So those are three different types of meditation.
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter where you're sitting, It doesn't matter how you're sitting,
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether you're wearing a yoga suit or
Speaker 1: on a yoga mat. That really isn't the point. The
Speaker 1: point is are you taking time to build that practice
Speaker 1: in that habit. Yeah, mantra su my good sister deVie
Speaker 1: Brown mantra and the bees is what got me to
Speaker 1: able meditation. So I count my bees and I do
Speaker 1: my mantra and it's just like that's what got me.
Speaker 1: Like oh okay. When you come to and you're like,
Speaker 1: where was That's how it feels like. You're like like
Speaker 1: you went into a sleep while you're sitting up, like
Speaker 1: you just like like everything just went still for a moment,
Speaker 1: like nothing is on your mind. You just hear yourself
Speaker 1: repeating your mantra over and over and over, and it's
Speaker 1: just like I call it like a sinking feeling almost.
Speaker 1: I feel like you're just sinking, sinking, sinking, And I
Speaker 1: always jump before I go too deep. That's that's what
Speaker 1: makes me come back. Yeah, imagine, imagine you actually felt
Speaker 1: like you are where your feet are? Like, imagine you
Speaker 1: actually felt like that that we right now, if we
Speaker 1: all put our feet on the ground and you actually
Speaker 1: felt like I was And what Charlomagne saying about sinking.
Speaker 1: If I actually felt like I was actually here? How
Speaker 1: many times doing this conversation while I've been talking and
Speaker 1: we've been thinking about what have I got for lunch
Speaker 1: later on? Or what am I doing later on? Or
Speaker 1: who am I meeting? Or what's this going? What if
Speaker 1: I was actually here? How much could I actually have
Speaker 1: an impact on the people around me? How much could
Speaker 1: I actually feel people's energy? How much power and strength
Speaker 1: would I have if I was actually where my feet are?
Speaker 1: Which is a common phrase and statement that's used in
Speaker 1: meditation language. If like be where your feet are, if
Speaker 1: we were actually here, just how powerful would that be?
Speaker 1: And that's what you feel. You actually feel like, I'm
Speaker 1: happy to be here. I am only here because think
Speaker 1: about it. When you wake up in the morning, how
Speaker 1: many times have you over woken up and your mind
Speaker 1: is ahead of your body. Your body's like I don't
Speaker 1: want to go anywhere, and your mind's like racing trying
Speaker 1: to do a million things. Or you experienced the opposite.
Speaker 1: You wake up and your mind is like, come on,
Speaker 1: I can't do this, but your body's like, come on,
Speaker 1: we gotta go, we gotta go. So what we're experiencing
Speaker 1: at all times is our body and mind completely out
Speaker 1: of sync, completely out of seen. They're never in the
Speaker 1: same place. So meditation and it's simplest for him is saying, well,
Speaker 1: let's start here, Let's bring them back into sync. Let's
Speaker 1: start with them being aligned, and imagine how powerful we
Speaker 1: could do. All Right, we have more with Jay Shetty
Speaker 1: when we come back. Of course. He's the host of
Speaker 1: On Purpose. It's the number one health and wellness podcast.
Speaker 1: He's a form of monk and we'll talk to him
Speaker 1: someone when we come back. It's a breakfast club. Good
Speaker 1: morning e j Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We
Speaker 1: are to breakfast club. Were still kicking it with Jay Shetty.
Speaker 1: He's the host of the On Purpose podcasts, a health
Speaker 1: and wellness podcast. He's a former monk. He's a New
Speaker 1: York Times best selling author and he's here, Charlomagne. I
Speaker 1: feel like we skipped a step right. Yeah, you went
Speaker 1: from being a monk um sir for a monk for
Speaker 1: three years. You couldn't find a job, he said. You
Speaker 1: got rejected about forty different forty companies. Yeah, at what
Speaker 1: point did the on Purpose podcast start? Between that and
Speaker 1: the So I left being amongk in twenty thirteen, I
Speaker 1: started in twenty ten, unpurposed LUNs in twenty nineteen, okay,
Speaker 1: so six years later, and my online video content started
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. So in twenty sixteen, after I'd been
Speaker 1: sharing meditation and mindfulness with corporations, coaching people behind the
Speaker 1: scenes and never made any content, I just felt that
Speaker 1: I was sitting in a lot of boardrooms, which was fantastic,
Speaker 1: but I felt this message had to get further than
Speaker 1: the boardroom. And at the time I was thinking how
Speaker 1: do I do this? And so I was applying to
Speaker 1: media companies that I was like, Hey, if these guys
Speaker 1: give me a job, then I can make content about
Speaker 1: mindfulness and meditation. And I was rejected from three media companies.
Speaker 1: I remember chasing an exact on his bike in London
Speaker 1: and saying hey, give me a job. And he was like,
Speaker 1: you're too old? Is that after you said that? I
Speaker 1: guess it was the president or CEO asked you to
Speaker 1: do that, correct, So that's when you felt like that
Speaker 1: was your calling? Yeah, because I was like, Wow, I'm
Speaker 1: being asked to do this. It's working, but it needs
Speaker 1: to reach more people, and it needs to reach more
Speaker 1: people without just their organization being involved. What if it
Speaker 1: could read to person on this street? Right? How do
Speaker 1: you get to that person? And so I thought media
Speaker 1: is the way. And so I was appli to all
Speaker 1: these media jobs, but everyone kept telling me you're not
Speaker 1: You're too you're too old. I was twenty eight years old.
Speaker 1: They're like, you're too old. Everyone's twenty one who wants
Speaker 1: this job? They were like, you don't have any background
Speaker 1: in media, You've never been in communications. And so I
Speaker 1: ended up at a TV training day run by the
Speaker 1: BBC in London in Pinewood Studios and it was run
Speaker 1: for ethnic minorities. So there were just six brown and
Speaker 1: black people in that room and I'm one of them
Speaker 1: and they tell me, Jay, you're you're good, like you're engaging,
Speaker 1: you can present well. So I'm like, give me a job,
Speaker 1: like I just want to shot. And they're like, Jay,
Speaker 1: there's no jobs in media. And so I'm like, come on,
Speaker 1: you brought me all the way here, like you know,
Speaker 1: six brown and black people to tell us there's no
Speaker 1: jobs in media. What was what was the point of this?
Speaker 1: And they're like, well, you should start a YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: And in my head, I'm thinking, yeah, that works for
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber. That's not going to work for me, you know,
Speaker 1: And I'm having that limiting I was like, thank you,
Speaker 1: maybe not maybe not yea and that uh and literally
Speaker 1: it was like I was like, maybe that worked for
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber, like that's and I had that limiting belief.
Speaker 1: I was like, that's not going to work for me.
Speaker 1: But literally, there's a beautiful statement by Thomas Edison. He said,
Speaker 1: when you believe you've exhausted all options, remembered this you haven't.
Speaker 1: And that's how I felt. I felt I had exhausted
Speaker 1: all options and the only option that I had left
Speaker 1: was YouTube if I really cared about this, So I
Speaker 1: made a video and I kept making videos every week
Speaker 1: and they're doing okay, They're getting like a thousand views
Speaker 1: or something like that. And in three months, Arianna Huffington
Speaker 1: saw my videos from the Huffing and Post and so
Speaker 1: she really connected with them, and they said, hey, j look,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna pay you anything, We're not gonna do anything.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take your videos. We're gonna put them on
Speaker 1: the Huffing in Post page because we like your content.
Speaker 1: What do you think. I'm like, great, let's get them
Speaker 1: out there, right, like, that's what this is about. Smart
Speaker 1: you recognized the opportunity when it wasn't a pache. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there was no pageckets nobody. They put it out. The
Speaker 1: first video did a million views in a week, The
Speaker 1: second video did a million views in twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: And those three or four videos I made for them
Speaker 1: did like a hundred million views across that year. And
Speaker 1: literally it just changed everything because now the message was
Speaker 1: reaching people. And then I sent her right hand man
Speaker 1: who's a good friend of mine now, Danny Shay. He
Speaker 1: was the one who'd come out to make this contact happen.
Speaker 1: I message him every day saying, when an't you giving
Speaker 1: me a job? When he gave me a job, when
Speaker 1: are you giving me a job? Finally, after thirty days,
Speaker 1: he sent me a visa sent me a job off
Speaker 1: for a move to New York City in twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: September to work at The Half Post as a senior
Speaker 1: hosting producer. That lasted around six months. I mean, the
Speaker 1: way you're speaking is great because it's not even about
Speaker 1: the meditation and what you're speaking, it's just about a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't have that drive. You were told
Speaker 1: no a thousands of times, but still did it. You know,
Speaker 1: you did something that you had no idea about YouTube.
Speaker 1: Then when they came with a situation, most people now
Speaker 1: would be like, well, how much am I getting paid? Now?
Speaker 1: You want to use my contact? And he was like, nah,
Speaker 1: I understand what this could be and congratulating. I love
Speaker 1: I love stories like that. Thank you, and thank you
Speaker 1: for highlighting that. I really appreciate the way you're looking
Speaker 1: at it over time, Like, yeah, you come up here
Speaker 1: and be like how much I'm getting paid? But I'm
Speaker 1: not doing this because I ain't get no money if
Speaker 1: the tests. But somethings ain't about the money. We came
Speaker 1: from a place where we both worked for a long
Speaker 1: terms about the opportunity, but we knew hopefully well we
Speaker 1: didn't even know. We did it for love. I did
Speaker 1: it for love, and it just grew into what it
Speaker 1: grew into. So I really respect and appreciate that. We
Speaker 1: thank you for highlighting that because I think sometimes, you know,
Speaker 1: we get lost in, especially when people talk to me,
Speaker 1: we get lost in like the meditation and the mindfulness,
Speaker 1: and it's like, that is my heart of what I
Speaker 1: want to share. But the way I've got there has
Speaker 1: not been normal or easy or you know, it's but
Speaker 1: that's been the most fun part about it. Like I
Speaker 1: think I always wanted to serve. My whole goal was
Speaker 1: how can this reach more people? And when half Post
Speaker 1: or anyone came with that opportunity and thankfully after six months,
Speaker 1: I built in myself. I got to do it my way,
Speaker 1: on my own, and I got to build it on
Speaker 1: my first guest. My first big guest was Russell Brand
Speaker 1: who I've known for a long time. We have the
Speaker 1: same meditation teacher. We've been friends in London for a while.
Speaker 1: So Russell Brown was my first big guest. My first
Speaker 1: ever guest was my wife. It was my first episode.
Speaker 1: Well she was your first big guest. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: my first yeah, oh yeah, thank you. Yeah I messed
Speaker 1: that up. Yeah, I messed that up. Yeah, my wife
Speaker 1: was my first big Yeah. Russell Brown was my first
Speaker 1: well known guest. Novak Djokovic tennis player who I've known
Speaker 1: for a while as well, he was one of my
Speaker 1: first big guest. Uh And then you know, since then,
Speaker 1: it's just been a joy to sit down with people
Speaker 1: that yeah, I had till this day. And I'm not
Speaker 1: just saying it because of what happened, and I don't
Speaker 1: I wish I didn't even have to say that, but
Speaker 1: I do because I think people try and make things
Speaker 1: a certain way. But I have never felt someone more
Speaker 1: present and grounded in his feet apart from monks, than
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant. Like when I spoke to him, I choose
Speaker 1: there was so much gravity around him, and when he
Speaker 1: spoke his voice as well, it had so much presence.
Speaker 1: And that was two three months before the tragic event.
Speaker 1: So his his team had reached out and they said, Jay,
Speaker 1: we want Kobe to have a conversation with someone who
Speaker 1: isn't only obsessed with basketball. And I said to him,
Speaker 1: I liked basketball, but I didn't grow up like soccer
Speaker 1: is my first sport, right football. I'm from England, That's
Speaker 1: that's my thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why I
Speaker 1: had to try it's late for because then my British
Speaker 1: friends make fun of me for saying Suker, so I've
Speaker 1: got to you know. But yeah, Christiano Ronaldo, like, that's
Speaker 1: that's my goat, right, Like that's the person I go to.
Speaker 1: But obviously have so much respect for Kobe. Obviously I
Speaker 1: love I love basketball, genuine enjoy watching it. And so
Speaker 1: they said, but we want someone who talks to him
Speaker 1: about storytelling about him, about his heart, about meditation, about
Speaker 1: the stuff that he doesn't get to talk about because
Speaker 1: every time he goes to an interview, people just to
Speaker 1: ask him basketball questions. What was he like to play
Speaker 1: in that game? What was he like to learn from this?
Speaker 1: So they they've reached out to him, and I said,
Speaker 1: this is a dream, like I feel honored, and so
Speaker 1: we did that. That's how the podcast came about. I
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't know him or I didn't have a
Speaker 1: relationship with him, but in that short time that we
Speaker 1: spent together, he walked into the room and he came
Speaker 1: around to my whole team and he introduces Kobe Kobe
Speaker 1: like to my video, and you know, everyone's geeking out
Speaker 1: because everyone knows who he is. It doesn't have to,
Speaker 1: but he was so respectful, so wonderful with the whole team.
Speaker 1: They'll never forget that experience. Jay, we appreciate. I was
Speaker 1: going to ask, can we meditate? But we really can't
Speaker 1: because we need seven I mean it will be deadier
Speaker 1: for seven minutes. Oh we can do it for lesson seven.
Speaker 1: We can do it. Yeah, yeah we can. How long
Speaker 1: do you give me your time limit? And then I'll
Speaker 1: stick to that. Let's do a minute. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: let's do it. And everyone who's listening can join in
Speaker 1: as well. So what I wanted, okay, okay, so what
Speaker 1: do whatever you want to do is just take a
Speaker 1: moment to look around wherever they are. So keep your
Speaker 1: eyes open, and I want you to just notice five
Speaker 1: things in this space. Choose five things in your environment
Speaker 1: and bring your awareness to them. The colors, the textures,
Speaker 1: the fonts, whatever it may be, just five things, and
Speaker 1: when you found them, close your eyes, taking a deep breath. Now,
Speaker 1: what are four things that you can touch and just
Speaker 1: be present with it. It could be your jacket, the
Speaker 1: chair you're sitting on, your own hands. Four things that
Speaker 1: you can touch notice the difference in the coolness and
Speaker 1: a texture. Taking another deep breath, what are three things
Speaker 1: that you can hear there? Maybe some white noise, the
Speaker 1: sound of my voice, maybe even a voice in the
Speaker 1: back of your head. Three things you can hear, Just
Speaker 1: observe and be present, don't fight them. Just bring your
Speaker 1: awareness back to your breath, breathe in. What are two
Speaker 1: things you can smell? Maybe the beautiful sage that we
Speaker 1: have here in the studio or the palace center. Maybe
Speaker 1: a fragrance, it diffuses some food. Taking a deep breath,
Speaker 1: And what's one thing you can taste? Maybe water breakfast?
Speaker 1: And now, in a moment, when you gently and softly,
Speaker 1: in your own time, at your own pace, you open
Speaker 1: your eyes, you'll experience full presence. Can open your eyes, man,
Speaker 1: I love to sound a white noise. I love the
Speaker 1: things you see behind your eyelids. And I've been stressing
Speaker 1: to my heart that we need a mindfulness minute on
Speaker 1: all radio stations, like we need whether it's j could
Speaker 1: be Jetty, it could be Debbie Brown. We need a
Speaker 1: mindful this minute, like a few times throughout the day,
Speaker 1: especially during like the ten am the two pm slot,
Speaker 1: when it's mid days and people at work every nine
Speaker 1: and then you just got to take a break, like
Speaker 1: we got to do exactly what we did just now.
Speaker 1: So when we call you, Jay, answer the phone the opportunity.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Go get j Stty's book, Think Like a
Speaker 1: monk Um, subscribe to them on Purpose podcast with Jay Setty,
Speaker 1: and check out the app. One of my favorite people
Speaker 1: to just follow and continue to be a great leader, Jake,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you so grateful. It's the Breakfast Club morning.
Speaker 1: Oh it's a wrong. But after being ordered to pay
Speaker 1: CARDI b upwards of four million dollars, bloggerd Taisha Kay
Speaker 1: is saying that it was the machine and corporate interests
Speaker 1: that was the reason why she lost. Here's what she
Speaker 1: had to say. We called bluff against a machine that
Speaker 1: wanted to bully me for not wavering from my personal beliefs.
Speaker 1: A machine that has corporate interests to protect prostitution, drug
Speaker 1: youth promiscuity, and to glorify the violence that rex having
Speaker 1: on our society and in our neighborhoods. It's sold to
Speaker 1: our children as the it factor. Although the court hasn't
Speaker 1: instructed us to take the videos down, I've always said
Speaker 1: that I would comply with any court or jury. The
Speaker 1: videos have been taken down to show good faith to
Speaker 1: the courts. This machine has tried to have me arrested,
Speaker 1: threatened my life, and created a fake narrative about I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean you lied. You know what I'm saying. You
Speaker 1: lied about somebody maliciously, with malicious intent. Cardi B's records.
Speaker 1: She had to go and get tested to see if
Speaker 1: she had herpes because you were spreading this rumor and
Speaker 1: it wasn't true. That's a lie, right, And sometimes you
Speaker 1: just got to take a step back and really see
Speaker 1: what God is trying to show you. You know, it's
Speaker 1: not about likes, it's not about going viral, it's not
Speaker 1: about donating now, subscribe now. Sometimes just take a step
Speaker 1: back and see what God is trying to show you.
Speaker 1: Weapons for him to getst You will not prosper, but
Speaker 1: they will if you are the weapon. And it's sad
Speaker 1: when people simply can't take accountability or simply admit when
Speaker 1: they're wrong. It shows a lack of integrity and reminds
Speaker 1: folks while you're in the position you are in now.
Speaker 1: And I respect Cardi B so much because that that
Speaker 1: that court case took time. It took money. She had
Speaker 1: to take this stand. That's not easy. Let it go
Speaker 1: because she CARTI don't need the money. She had to things.
Speaker 1: She did it to set to set an example, and
Speaker 1: she did so. Shout took Cardi B and listen. I
Speaker 1: hope all YouTubers podcast as bloggers. You know, all all
Speaker 1: you folks in this new media space. Remember, small people
Speaker 1: learn from their own mistakes. Wise people learn from the
Speaker 1: mistakes of others. Even if you know she doesn't learn
Speaker 1: from her mistakes, you should hasn't learned, and she is
Speaker 1: saying that she's appealing. This case was meant to drain
Speaker 1: me financially and it did not, and send a message
Speaker 1: to anyone who thinks they have the right to challenge
Speaker 1: a machine that protects their corporate interests. The appeal process
Speaker 1: has already started and we intend to expose every conspiracy
Speaker 1: against me, my company, and my family. There was no defamation,
Speaker 1: no invasion of privacy, and suicidal thoughts, and we proved
Speaker 1: that with sufficient factual evidence, and we intend to fight
Speaker 1: until the truth is out. I don't think you can
Speaker 1: prove that somebody didn't have suicidal thought. You don't know
Speaker 1: what's inside a person's he's that's not gonna fly. But
Speaker 1: that's not good advice. Whoever gave you that advice to
Speaker 1: put more money into terrible situation, that's not good. He
Speaker 1: has any friends, they need to be that girl. You
Speaker 1: gotta just relax. This is a landmark case that every
Speaker 1: lawyer in the world will be referencing from now on.
Speaker 1: Precedent has been set. So you know all you YouTube
Speaker 1: was everybody else move accordingly or get hit just like
Speaker 1: she did. Right. Your pride is just making you feel

Speaker 1: Donkey of the Day is going to a young man
Speaker 1: in Jersey City named Travis Nearly. Albert Einstein has a quote,
Speaker 1: and that quote is insanity is doing the same thing
Speaker 1: over and over and expecting different results. We'll discuss that
Speaker 1: quote when we come back, all right, and then after
Speaker 1: they get on the phone lines, of course, we have
Speaker 1: ask aye. So if you need relationship vice, call us now.
Speaker 1: It's the breakfast Club. Come on, so breakfast Club, Your
Speaker 1: mornings will never be the same. How mudiable to pick up?

Speaker 1: mean I need what's getting that donkey that donkey that
Speaker 1: don't don't don't don't don't donkey o the day right
Speaker 1: here the breakfast club. Bitches, you can call me the
Speaker 1: donkey of the day, but like I mean no harm,
Speaker 1: don't give the day for Thursday, January twenty seven goes
Speaker 1: to thirty four year old Travis Nearly. Now. I'm sure
Speaker 1: everyone listening to my voice has heard that Albert Einstein quote.
Speaker 1: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again
Speaker 1: and expecting different results. Well, because I've gotten old, I
Speaker 1: see that statement differently. There's a lot of things we
Speaker 1: do over and over again and expect different results. Like
Speaker 1: played a lottery I played Mega millions in Powerball over
Speaker 1: and over again, expecting different results. Okay, I'm used to losing.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I went four dollars, sometimes I win seven. Last
Speaker 1: week I bought a Mega million and Powerball ticket and
Speaker 1: I won nine dollars, career high for me. Drop one
Speaker 1: of Ko's bombs for my career high of nine dollars
Speaker 1: with the Mega million powerball. Okay, all right for me,
Speaker 1: those were all different results, and I will continue to
Speaker 1: play over and over again because I want that ultimate result,
Speaker 1: which is all five numbers and the powerball that jackpot baby.
Speaker 1: So yes, we do things over and over and expect
Speaker 1: different results. Sometimes folks do the same things over and
Speaker 1: over again because they know exactly what they are going
Speaker 1: to get. They do the same thing over and over
Speaker 1: again because they know what the result is going to be.
Speaker 1: And that's what happened in Jersey City. See Travis Nearly
Speaker 1: robbed the spot called Augie's Grocery Delhi. He didn't rob
Speaker 1: it once, he didn't rob it twice. He didn't rob
Speaker 1: it three times. He robbed it four times. Why did
Speaker 1: he keep doing the same thing over and over Not
Speaker 1: because he expected a different result, but because he knew
Speaker 1: what the result was going to be. He thought it
Speaker 1: was an easy lick. Let's go to source twelve report
Speaker 1: police in his thirty two years running Aggie's Delhi Grocery
Speaker 1: on Old Bergen Road. This was a first surveillance video
Speaker 1: from January tenth shows a masked man coming behind the
Speaker 1: counter and charging at seventy seven year old Aggie Lopez
Speaker 1: and came on top of me and the banging me,
Speaker 1: and I'm saying what. Then he says he stole a
Speaker 1: few cigars, but it wasn't enough. He came back five
Speaker 1: days later, knocked Aggie to the ground and got away
Speaker 1: with cash. He then came back the very next day
Speaker 1: again more money. Then for the fourth time in eleven days,
Speaker 1: he came back, same guy, same clothes, and this time
Speaker 1: he jumped over with a counting but this time he
Speaker 1: had as a bride. We had a police officer here
Speaker 1: and they grabbed him. I saw this in passing on
Speaker 1: the news because of course I live in Jersey, and
Speaker 1: the first thing I thought was what a coward robbing
Speaker 1: that old man, hitting that old man over the head.
Speaker 1: Then I heard the Delhi on and say we will
Speaker 1: be ready when he comes back. But I said, he's
Speaker 1: not coming back, because I didn't realize he already had
Speaker 1: came three times. Pause, whoa, whoa, hey, yo, Now here's
Speaker 1: the thing. Travis Neely might be insane, all right, this
Speaker 1: is who Albert Einstein wrote the quote for. Because when
Speaker 1: you talk about doing the same thing over and over
Speaker 1: and expecting different results. I'm positive Albert Einstein wasn't talking
Speaker 1: about crimes, all right. He might have been talking about workouts, Okay,
Speaker 1: not about crimes, all right. If he was robbing people,
Speaker 1: if he was robbing places, you wouldn't continue to rob
Speaker 1: the same individual, would you. You wouldn't continue to rob
Speaker 1: the same place, would you, Because eventually that person our
Speaker 1: place you keep hitting, it's gonna prepare for your arrival.
Speaker 1: And that's what happened here. The funniest thing about this
Speaker 1: news report to me is when it says the Robert
Speaker 1: Travis Neely was stunned when off duty police officer Maurice Johnson,
Speaker 1: who had stopped by the check on the store that
Speaker 1: already got robbed three times, jumped out from the back
Speaker 1: of the store. I know what you're thinking, Okay, what
Speaker 1: drug was Travis on? All right? This ain't normal. You
Speaker 1: don't rob the same store four times and then I
Speaker 1: surprised when the officer pops out on the fourth time.
Speaker 1: That's how that's like. I went. Taylor Swift, you know,
Speaker 1: acts fake surprise that she's winning an award. Taylor, you
Speaker 1: know you were winning. Okay, wait, Uncle Charlotte don't get distracted.
Speaker 1: What drug was Travis on? Well, he was rushed to
Speaker 1: the Jersey Jersey City Medical Center after his arrest due
Speaker 1: to possibly being under the influence of CDs. Now I'm old.
Speaker 1: I see acronyms. I don't know what they mean. The
Speaker 1: more I saw CDs, I was like, under the influence
Speaker 1: of CDs. But what the hell drug is CDs? I
Speaker 1: had no idea, So I did some research and by
Speaker 1: research I mean Google and all it means it's controlled
Speaker 1: dangerous substance. Okay, I just thought it was something new.
Speaker 1: But it's the same old, same old heroin, opioid dope,
Speaker 1: dog food. Okay, look, it sounds to me like Travis
Speaker 1: nearly needs to change his daily routine. You robbed the
Speaker 1: same Delhi four times in eleven days. You probably need
Speaker 1: to change your routine. Actually, you need to change your life,
Speaker 1: your whole life, Travis. But it starts with changing your routine,
Speaker 1: and robbing shouldn't be part of your routine. Okay. Moral
Speaker 1: of this story for everyone listening is you will never
Speaker 1: change your life and tell you change something you do daily.
Speaker 1: The secret of your success is found in your daily
Speaker 1: routine routine, especially if your routine is Robbing the same
Speaker 1: person multiple times is not progress. Please let me give
Speaker 1: Travis nearly the biggest he hall he ha, he ha,
Speaker 1: You stupid mother? Are you dumb? Now? I wish the
Speaker 1: old man would have had a gun and shot his ass.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm telling you. Come to the store four times,
Speaker 1: you hit me over the head every now and then
Speaker 1: you're asking to get that shot. I don't like to
Speaker 1: promote violence, no, but I promote self defense and defended
Speaker 1: yourself and property. Hit me over the head. I could
Speaker 1: have hit my head and died. Now, you should have
Speaker 1: got shot. He lucky. Ain't your shot a good time?
Speaker 1: And he deserved the bullet. And the hood should have
Speaker 1: beat his ass for going into the store beating up
Speaker 1: an old man like that. I'm sure they will. He's
Speaker 1: probably enjailed. Like man, you robbed all. He's all. He's
Speaker 1: got the best sandwich is said Daly too. God damn it,
Speaker 1: I just burned my finger, My dumb ass, talk about
Speaker 1: doing the same thing over and over. I keep flicking
Speaker 1: the damn light and knowing it's hot as hell. Don't
Speaker 1: burn your finger, Yeah, I'm sure all right? Well next,

Speaker 1: so this is the situation. First of all, good morning
Speaker 1: New York, Good morning, good morning, Good morning world. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there we go. All right, So what happened was all right,
Speaker 1: just recently a young lady call me, y'all, and I
Speaker 1: used to deal with and she was married. She is
Speaker 1: Mavbie now, but when I first started talking to her,
Speaker 1: wasn't mavvy you was kind of eighty but just like
Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen. So after we would eating come to
Speaker 1: find out she had her boyfriend, baby daddy, and so
Speaker 1: I left alone. Okay, so we've been cool. All emotions,
Speaker 1: you know, rang out. We've been cool over the years.
Speaker 1: But the problem is recently talk about twenty nineteen. You know,
Speaker 1: you don't know what to do. She's going through counsel
Speaker 1: and but I'm like, but what should I do? Um, well,
Speaker 1: she's still married, right, okay? And are you doing anything
Speaker 1: with her? Okay? So here's my thing. It feels a
Speaker 1: little messy over there. So how's your life outside of that? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, the only person I fired that like go
Speaker 1: out on the DAP for empty life. So I'm kind
Speaker 1: of right, it feels too messy. I wouldn't voluntarily put
Speaker 1: myself in a situation with somebody who already when you
Speaker 1: first met her, was involved and you had to step
Speaker 1: away from that. And you know, now she's married, she
Speaker 1: has to make some decisions, and so I don't feel
Speaker 1: like I would want to put myself in the middle
Speaker 1: of that. You know, that's kind of like and I
Speaker 1: could tell you're asking about it because you care about her,
Speaker 1: you miss her, But yes, right, But you know, I

Speaker 1: and your standards have to be high enough that you say, look,
Speaker 1: as a friend, you know, I'm hoping to everything you
Speaker 1: got you get it together. If you're not in a
Speaker 1: relationship anymore. If you're not married anymore, then that's a
Speaker 1: consideration we can take. But I don't think you should
Speaker 1: put yourself that's you know, that's just not a situation
Speaker 1: you should voluntarily be in. True right now, right you
Speaker 1: know a lot of options are coming my way at
Speaker 1: the moment, you know, because of the pandemic. To all
Speaker 1: of that, you know, don't make your life more complicated.
Speaker 1: And I also feel like sometimes when you do that,
Speaker 1: you kind of block out what could be with some
Speaker 1: with the right person. And she may not be the
Speaker 1: right person you, but she has a responsibility also and
Speaker 1: for herself to figure out what she's doing in her
Speaker 1: life and her relationship before she can even move on, right, true.
Speaker 1: And I just don't want you to get hurt. Oh,
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna get hurt. It's okay. It's somebody that
Speaker 1: you care about, that's with somebody else, that's already done
Speaker 1: something that, whether or not you admit it, hurt you
Speaker 1: in the past because you ended up having a step away,
Speaker 1: and then because you care about her, she's come back.
Speaker 1: But it's not ideal for you exactly. Thank you, man,

Speaker 1: Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are
Speaker 1: the breakfast Club with in the middle of ask ye, Hello,
Speaker 1: who's this? What's happening? Hey? First, before anything, I gotta
Speaker 1: tell y'all Charlotte Man, I love you. I love you too,
Speaker 1: King Ye, I love you. I love y'all man for real? Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: what's your question for? Ask ye? If the girls that
Speaker 1: you w you know she has a threesome before you
Speaker 1: guys got together, you know, the past really don't matter.
Speaker 1: But you know something, it might bother some people when
Speaker 1: they get into the relationship and they might find out
Speaker 1: or they girl or boy frand teller whatever, that they
Speaker 1: was in the threesome before they had gotten to the
Speaker 1: relationship with the person they w boy, did you and
Speaker 1: byted you? You know what. It did bothered me for
Speaker 1: a minute because her when we were asking, when we
Speaker 1: were talking about it, when we was you know how
Speaker 1: relationships start, y'all just friends, you know, y'all getting to
Speaker 1: know each other and everything is kind of like spoke freely.
Speaker 1: So when she first you know what, she asked me
Speaker 1: if I had one? I'm like, yeah, I had about
Speaker 1: four maybe five. Then I asked her, she comes she
Speaker 1: never had one. Then we got, you know, in the relationship,
Speaker 1: things got, you know, been together for a by the year,
Speaker 1: there's all the sudden that she tells me that she
Speaker 1: did have one. You know, it came up again and
Speaker 1: she tells me that she did. So I did feel
Speaker 1: a way about it, for sure. Did you feel a
Speaker 1: way that she lied to you initially or did you
Speaker 1: feel a way that she had a three seth It
Speaker 1: was it was a little bit of both. It was
Speaker 1: a little bit of both. She probably didn't want you
Speaker 1: to judge her because people look at women differently all
Speaker 1: the time. On our sexual experiences, there's a lot of judgment.
Speaker 1: But I do you feel like when somebody tells you
Speaker 1: something that places a lot of trust in you and
Speaker 1: in the relationship, and you can't really hold things over
Speaker 1: people's head from when they met, were from what happened
Speaker 1: before you, right, you know, the only issue is that
Speaker 1: she didn't tell the truth initially. But you guys were
Speaker 1: just friends then, right, Yeah, you know, were at that
Speaker 1: stage where you know, you're getting to know each other.
Speaker 1: You guys are asking each other question. Right, it was
Speaker 1: like really no expectations, There was no judgment and then
Speaker 1: you know what, it was probably the lie you know
Speaker 1: at first, and then it was you know, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about the three from I'm replaying it in my mind,
Speaker 1: you know, like damn and she were lied to me
Speaker 1: about it, Like what kind of three from what? Like?
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just I let my mind get
Speaker 1: the best them. Right, Well you have four of them,
Speaker 1: so you know, but yeah, I get it that it
Speaker 1: was a lie. But you have to also understand that
Speaker 1: women are judged constantly all the time to this day.
Speaker 1: It's really bad. And so sometimes when you don't know
Speaker 1: somebody well enough, you don't know if we're gonna end
Speaker 1: up together. I don't want to tell you too much,
Speaker 1: and then you take this and then you know it
Speaker 1: comes back up. I also got to see how you're
Speaker 1: gonna treat me. Are you gonna look at me crazy?
Speaker 1: So I'm sure that she felt a little bit like,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I could trust him enough to
Speaker 1: share this with him? Right right, right right? But you
Speaker 1: over right now right? Oh yeah, I've been over when
Speaker 1: you asked me. When the person asked me right what
Speaker 1: you're gonna ask you, I'm like, uh, yeah, I didn't
Speaker 1: feel away about this, So yeah, let me ask you
Speaker 1: about this. Are y'all gonna have a threesome? No? We
Speaker 1: probably she probably is not gonna have a threation with me.
Speaker 1: I'm not even interested in having no threesothing like that.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's I have better sex with with, you know,
Speaker 1: with just one woman, then then I've had any three them,
Speaker 1: all right, And that's real. And at least you have
Speaker 1: the chance to experience those things before to know that
Speaker 1: you know you live your life and then you settle
Speaker 1: down with the person who you want to be with,
Speaker 1: right right, Okay, thank you, Yeah, I appreciate y'all. Love y'all,
Speaker 1: bro ask ye eight hundred five eight five one O
Speaker 1: five one. If you need relationship advice, you could always
Speaker 1: hit in. Now you got rumors on the way, Janet Jackson.
Speaker 1: This documentary, a two night documentary event, is primaring tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you some more that you can expect to see.
Speaker 1: There's a surprise appearance. All right, we'll get into that next.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This
Speaker 1: is the Rumor Report with Angela Ye. Well, Kanye wants
Speaker 1: to help out with the homeless crisis in LA and
Speaker 1: he wants to get them to model some clothes. Okay.
Speaker 1: He is working with streetwear brand skid Roll Fashion Week
Speaker 1: on a new collab and fashion show. The ultimate goal
Speaker 1: is to help out the homeless. David's Bashion, who is
Speaker 1: the founder of skid Roll Fashion Week, told tim Z
Speaker 1: he met with Kanye earlier this month while he was
Speaker 1: recording Donda two at his studio and they decided to
Speaker 1: create a easy skid Row Fashion Week clothing collab. He
Speaker 1: said the company donates a portion of all sales to
Speaker 1: helping those living on skid Row, and the factory that
Speaker 1: makes the clothes employees the homeless, and that Easy collabor
Speaker 1: use one hundred percent of the proceeds to help the
Speaker 1: homeless on skid Row. In the Drop February twenty second,
Speaker 1: that's dope. I didn't know skid Row had a fashion show.
Speaker 1: Skid Role we having a fashion I didn't know they
Speaker 1: had a fashion And how does that work? And am
Speaker 1: I thinking about this correctly when I say when I
Speaker 1: hear skid roll fashion show? Or am I is that
Speaker 1: just the name for something? Well, it's the name of
Speaker 1: it's a it's a clothing line. And then they're doing
Speaker 1: a fashion show, so they don't take actual you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's placed people and let them walk
Speaker 1: the runway. Yeah, I don't know if they've done a
Speaker 1: fashion show before. Dope, though, if they paid the homeless
Speaker 1: people to actually to do a fashion show and bring
Speaker 1: people to where they from and make sure that they
Speaker 1: keep those clothes and pay them I think about stuff
Speaker 1: like that, it would be dope. But that's like a
Speaker 1: one time payment, Like, how do you hope those people
Speaker 1: permanently is you know what I mean? So well, they
Speaker 1: already have them working in the factory for a skid
Speaker 1: Row Fashion Week, so that's one of the things that
Speaker 1: they do. And like we said, the p of the proceeds.
Speaker 1: But they're saying one hundred percent of this clothing collab
Speaker 1: is going to go to help out the homeless, I hope.
Speaker 1: So because you don't want them to be homeless anymore,
Speaker 1: that that should be the goal, right, m Absolutely, And
Speaker 1: they're saying that one thing that they're kicking around as
Speaker 1: an idea is a trash bag puffer jacket. So I
Speaker 1: mean that's dope. And the reason another reason that because
Speaker 1: folks you know, would make jokes and say the clothes
Speaker 1: that Kanye may look like homeless folks to whim anyway,
Speaker 1: they do say that, But I think that would be
Speaker 1: dope if you could pay the homeless people to do
Speaker 1: it and have people come down. It's dope to flip
Speaker 1: that narrative. Correct, you make the jokes about me, but
Speaker 1: watch what I'll do with this, all right? Nick even
Speaker 1: Nach has confirmed that she has a collab but little
Speaker 1: Baby that is arriving On February fourth, she posted a
Speaker 1: picture on set with little Baby and said, do we
Speaker 1: have a problem baby times barbe pink Friday, February fourth, Okay,
Speaker 1: so get ready for that. I want to hear that,
Speaker 1: all right. Janet Jackson, you know her documentary, that two
Speaker 1: part documentary is coming out tomorrow. Oh, no, tomorrow's tomorrow Friday. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't know what day it is. Yeah, so that's
Speaker 1: going to be coming out. It's two parts of a
Speaker 1: lifetime in A and E documentary called Janet, and there's
Speaker 1: a lot of things that will be discussed. Now. Janet
Speaker 1: Jackson said her brother teased her about her weight game,
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, and called her names, and she said there
Speaker 1: were times when Mikey said, tease me and call me pig, horse, slaughterhog, cow.
Speaker 1: He would laugh about it and I'd laugh too, but
Speaker 1: there was something down inside that it would hurt. And
Speaker 1: she said, when you have somebody say you're too heavy,
Speaker 1: it affects you. She said she and her older brother
Speaker 1: drifted apart as they grew older, starting with the release
Speaker 1: of his album Thriller in nineteen eighty two. She said,
Speaker 1: I really I remember really loving a Thriller album, but
Speaker 1: for the first time in my life, I felt like
Speaker 1: it was different between us. A shift was happening. That's
Speaker 1: the time Mike and I started going our separate ways.
Speaker 1: He just wasn't as fun as he used to be.
Speaker 1: And when they worked together on Scream in nineteen ninety five,
Speaker 1: she felt frozen out by him. She said, Michael shot nights,
Speaker 1: I shot days. His record company would block off his
Speaker 1: set so I couldn't see what was going on. They
Speaker 1: didn't want me on set. That really hurt me because
Speaker 1: I felt like I was there fighting the fight with him,
Speaker 1: not to battle him. I wanted to feel like old
Speaker 1: times between he and I, and it didn't. Old times
Speaker 1: had long passed. She who knew, I had no idea now.
Speaker 1: She also shut down rumors of a secret baby with
Speaker 1: her ex James Debarred. She said, that is not right.
Speaker 1: Back in the day, she said, how could I keep
Speaker 1: a child from their father? I could never do that.
Speaker 1: That's not right. So also, how old were they when
Speaker 1: they were making these jokes on each other? I mean,
Speaker 1: if you got brothers and sisters, you make jokes on
Speaker 1: your brothers. I was gonna say the same thing. I'm
Speaker 1: an only child, but you know, Madison and Logan, they
Speaker 1: make old times got an old, two younger brothers and
Speaker 1: younger sister, Like how old they were? Never do you
Speaker 1: remember when she gained weight? Like she was a little
Speaker 1: older when that happened. So she's saying it was it
Speaker 1: was when the weight gain happened. It sounds like it
Speaker 1: was when they were kids. When she was penny, she
Speaker 1: wasn't big, she was really small. When I get in
Speaker 1: a little way, my kids made fun of me too.
Speaker 1: They told me a way I need a bra like well,
Speaker 1: she said, she laughed, but she said it did hurt her.
Speaker 1: She's right. Why do I feel like? Why do I
Speaker 1: feel like? I remember Michael saying one of the reasons
Speaker 1: he got an old because he used to get teased
Speaker 1: about his nose, about his family members. So there must
Speaker 1: have been some great jokes in that house. Then there
Speaker 1: must have been all snapping on each other. I think
Speaker 1: you have to understand the way that it does hurt
Speaker 1: people when you say things. They might try to laugh
Speaker 1: it off in the moment, but it can really have
Speaker 1: an effect on you. I agree. But you know what
Speaker 1: that is that that has been a big part of
Speaker 1: our culture for time, playing the dozens. That's right, snapping
Speaker 1: on people. Team metal mouth and four eyes and brace face.
Speaker 1: So I got all that shrimp not just something to
Speaker 1: be aware of. Right, we still tease folks. All right,
Speaker 1: let me come here with all that Beijing on his face.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get these Stop it, man, leave me a little.
Speaker 1: That is your record. I want to salute to the
Speaker 1: Smithstonian magazine. Man. They put out an article this morning
Speaker 1: titled the most Anticipated museum museum Openings of twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: and they have the International African American Museum that's opening
