We all have something 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.240 right and so then we have the third segment of 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.840 the show where we bring a professional and a psychiatrist, 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:40.360 a clinician therapist to help us understand the topic we're 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.880 talking about, to give us tools to know what to 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.040 do when we are feeling the way or those who 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.800 may be suffering or can identify with the subject matter 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.880 that we're dealing with. So it's an educational show. It's 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.320 a show where we laugh, we cry, and we're also 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.959 trying to show that actually, this is what a therapy 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.120 session looks like. You know, you in a safe space, 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.959 you talk about the things that are bugging you or 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.360 that are keeping you down, and you have a professional 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.040 there to help guide you through it, and you laugh, 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.920 you cry, and it's really not as scary as you think. 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.400 I see some fascinating guests that you guys have on 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.959 I saw the trailer for the new season, and I 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.199 was just in my head trying to figure out Like 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.160 Chloe Belly, I can imagine it's tough for her. You know, 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:27.400 her and her sister have separated their Instagram pages. She's 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.760 put out some amazing music and videos, but then at 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.080 the same time, all these people are coming at her 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.040 now because they're still picturing what she was like when 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.640 she was younger, and so I know things like that 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.800 have to be difficult, and sometimes people don't look at 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.760 artists as human beings that have feelings too, that part, 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.559 and I think that's another aspect of the show where 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.920 they get to see some of their favorites be human, 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:51.920 because that's who we are at the end of the day. 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.480 You just millions just happened to get to see us 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.719 go to work and see what we do. But at 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.400 the end of the day, we have feelings. It's a 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:05.560 real person behind all the flashing lights. How therapeutic because 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.160 the show been for you, you both for us, it's 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.400 like we're going to therapy every day. So it's been 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.000 such a gift in that way where I don't have 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.400 to go to my therapist as often as I used 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:21.120 to because you know, the show has sort of filled 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.640 in that space for me. So to be able to 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:28.440 talk about your own personal challenges, connect with others there 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.480 who might have the same challenges with you, and then 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.240 have somebody there to stop all of our bantering back 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.679 and forth and say, okay, that's nice. I hear you. 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.720 You want to help each other, but here the tools 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.920 you need, and you know, Taraga and I've been going 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.959 through this for thirty eight years, having these conversations and 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.199 sometimes where what we have to say is helpful to 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.120 see each other, and sometimes it might not be so 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.480 to be able to step back and say you my 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.559 boom and we got each other. But let me go 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:01.200 over here and talk to you know, right, she's gonna 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.800 have a more objective point of view. You know, I 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:06.640 was going to ask, how difficult is it to get 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.360 some of these people that you have that you're interviewing 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.240 to open up? Is it very difficult? Because a lot 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.079 of times some of these people never spoke to a 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.559 therapist before, so you guys might be the first time 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.839 that they're really opening up. So is that difficult. No, 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:20.800 we have a lot of guests come on and they 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:25.120 talk about how comfortable they feel because we are both 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.480 in therapy. We're not professionals, but we understand us, we 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.320 understand our culture, we understand our people, and we know 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:35.600 in order for any black person to open up to anybody, 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.920 they have to feel safe and they have to know 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.400 who they talking to is real. It's not like you're 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.600 not fake, you don't have no other objective. We're not 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:47.600 a show where we're baiting for numbers. We don't push 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.720 people to tears or things like. Everything on our show 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:55.360 pretty much happens organically. We of course set the questions up, 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.440 we make them feel very safe, and they just open 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:02.880 up because we're open up, you know. Yeah, all right, 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.360 we got more with Tracy Jade into Roger p Hinston 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.280 when we come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:16.040 Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Everybody is envy Angela, Ye 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:18.880 we are. The Breakfast Club was still kicking it with 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.720 Tracy Jade into Roger b. Hnton. Now ye, now when 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.720 we're talking about this new season of Peace of Mind, 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.800 right where there's some moments that you guys were like 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.760 shocked by as well, because I'm sure, like you said, 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.000 people are comfortable. They're coming in there knowing you're not 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:33.880 trying to get an AHA moment. But you have some 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:37.280 amazing guests this season, so where there are times that 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:41.000 you were like, I can't believe this is happening. G 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:45.920 Herbo sticks out in my mind. Um that young man, 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.720 I mean, please watch this show, watch his episode. I 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:54.840 hope so many young brothers watch that episode because I'll 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.880 never forget this, my son. You know loves rap music, 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.920 of course, and when he started getting really getting into it, 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.600 but he was listening to the rappers coming out of Chicago, 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.760 and I told you, Herbo that just listening to his 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:12.760 experience growing up around all that violence and m He said, Mom, 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:17.840 you know those the rappers in Chicago rapped from a 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:23.200 different sphere, Like I feel their pain. I'd I'd be 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.360 pounding my chest because I can feel their pain, he said. 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:28.800 And the sad part about it is that they're they're 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.720 really superstars, but because of what they've been going through, 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:36.520 they will probably never reached that success because of their environment. 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.640 And this kid had never been to Chicago at this point. 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:43.160 I wasn't shooting filming Cookie. This is what he felt 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.720 through the music, through the messages. And then when I 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.560 really sat down and got to know Ji Herbo, I 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.800 understood exactly what my son meant that. Thank god, Gi 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.600 Herbo made it out. But he talks about all the 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.080 people he said, he couldn't name what about one hundred 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:01.720 of his colleagues they know that has died. Yeah, it's 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:06.920 troubling because his story is the norm for our kids. Part. 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.240 So I'm watching New York right now. The way they 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.560 had the twenty one kids under eighteen who died by 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.600 gun violence. Yeah, um, in Brooklyn and all over. And 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.320 that's that blueprint is traveling through every one of our 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:24.159 cities right now. And that's scary. It's hell because they 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.560 don't care. I gee, Herbo said out of his mouth. 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:29.399 He did. It was the point of his like, we 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.440 didn't care every live or die. You're talking about children 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.240 who have their whole lives to look forward to, not 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:39.640 giving a sh about anything. I love ge Herbo because 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.600 he's twenty five years old man, and I wish that 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.560 I had the tools and the resources and the information 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.040 in regards the mental health at that at that young age. 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.320 So I love the fact that he's sold vocal about 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.720 what he goes through it too. I mean, I just 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.879 I have such a respect for that young man. Like that, 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.840 to me was my most special episode because I just 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.440 I have a love for black men just so deep, 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.920 because I just understand our struggles as a people and 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.159 what is put upon the black man and which you 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:11.760 gotta always gotta be strong and this and that. In 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:13.840 the third and because I have a son, I'm a mother, 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.560 you know, And just I saw so many men in 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.160 my life that I love, and this young man, my father, 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.280 my son, all of them men I loved, I chose 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:27.119 to love. I just, yeah, that episode is so important. 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:31.040 He's so important. Yeah, And I think if we all, 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.640 you know, those of us were in a position too, 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.080 if we all just took one young man. You see 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.760 them walking down to the corner store, you see them 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.280 not you know, showing up places and to the job interview, whatever, 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:44.600 If we could all just take one. And I know 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:50.200 that sounds really like I don't know, you know, a 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:52.879 thought that is impossible, like I don't have time, or 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:56.240 I'm scared, or whatever it is. But I you know, 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:58.760 I am looking in the eyes right now of a 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:02.560 young man that I love so deeply, and he's in 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:07.040 the middle of this stuff, and he maybe watching right 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:13.120 now or or not, but I love him so deeply. 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:17.440 I'm willing to do anything to offer him just a 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.679 moment of an opportunity. I don't know what he's missing, 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.119 I don't know what is heard. He just lost his 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:27.200 best friend, and his best friend was murdered three nights ago, 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:33.000 and I know he's suffering. He's young, he's a teenager, 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:38.600 and I'm I can't give up on him. He's out 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:42.119 in the streets. He's confused.

You 0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:21.960 know I never noticed that. Well, you don't know what 0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:26.600 I did last night. We're making my mouth. What evy? 0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:33.000 What was that? Did you just hit it to a 0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:40.320 whole necessary level? Crazy little nas envy? Do you think 0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:43.680 ain't what I heard? Just now? That's what you wanted 0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:46.639 to hear? Hello, who's this? Oh? Hey, okay? If I 0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:48.760 got something for all of y'all, really well, I've been 0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:52.960 like Solomagne all right. So, Charlotte Mayne, I can feel 0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:56.280 bad for the college college educated people in the room 0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:58.640 because they're probably getting dumber and dumber by the day. 0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:00.920 Charlotte Mayne, you need to do to college. You'd be 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:03.360 saying some real students stuff. And I can only astutely 0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:07.440 because you were so no child left behind, one of 0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:12.240 those few that got passing your whole life child left behind. 0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:15.320 You can go to college, and I'm just like, you 0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:16.840 just need to go ahead and do it. And I'm 0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:19.800 not talking about one of those honorary degrees. You need 0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:22.119 to go sit in a pass room with college wools, 0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:24.920 those fool papers and a mechanical pencil and give you 0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:28.200 some education. Well that was how many New York Times 0:24:28.240 --> 0:24:31.040 bestselling offers two times over, and I have an honorary 0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:33.760 degree from Southolinda State University. I think you don't need 0:24:33.920 --> 0:24:36.920 honorary degree. You need a real degree. What I'm doing 0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:53.000 better than you? Yeah? He up there, man, man, because 0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:55.200 all right, but you'd be doing the room with the 0:24:55.280 --> 0:24:57.840 front page news, Charla Man. You'll come in, you'll ask 0:24:57.920 --> 0:25:00.920 something that he's literally just stated, because I want to 0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:03.520 know a better understanding. They teach you that in school, right, 0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:06.360 don't say it again, and you'll be like, but wow, 0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:10.080 exactly what is real? Longed for a minute, and then 0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:13.160 you'll repeat what she just said was literally the why 0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:16.159 that is? No? That is that is not true. I 0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:18.240 want to know why. I want to know. I want 0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:20.720 to know why. What's wrong with asking why? Like I 0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:22.880 want to know what's the root of your trauma? Right now? 0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:27.640 Why are you so mad? Mama? You have a good day. 0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:32.840 See that's the problem. What you caught I'm doing better 0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:37.200 than you. We are, don't We don't know that. We 0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:43.320 don't know that. I don't know. But anyway, up the 0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:46.040 other day about by Kyye West, it was really hyping 0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:48.399 up and Drake came out with a really good album 0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:50.359 and you're gonna sit there and talk about only thing 0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:53.480 you was too long and but some of the people 0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:57.360 y'all be hyping up on this show are so trash? 0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:02.080 Why why? Why do you think? Why? Why? Why do 0:26:02.160 --> 0:26:04.680 I think they're trying? Okay, for example, y'all hype a 0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:07.679 party be so much party? I'm so sick. Doesn't her 0:26:07.760 --> 0:26:10.040 talking about her posy? I don't know if I could 0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:13.120 say that on the radio, her talk about it? Okay, 0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:17.520 I feel like I'm being inside that thing on every 0:26:17.560 --> 0:26:20.480 single song. But every time she's dropping anything, y'all be like, Oh, 0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:23.280 it's so amazing, it's so good, it's so wonderful. You 0:26:23.359 --> 0:26:26.920 ain't come out with real lyrics and talk about different 0:26:26.920 --> 0:26:30.640 stuff and young who who? Who? You see? Why follow 0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:32.679 up questions are good? Who are the artists that you're 0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:36.360 dropping real lyrics? Tell me who just dropped? Man?

I might rapsody, 0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:45.240 but rapsy boring. That's see what I'm saying. See what 0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:48.920 I'm saying. But you but you to college educated one, 0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:51.920 but you can't appreciate a rahapsody. I might rapsody, but 0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:54.920 rapsody boring though? Okay, we ain't. Can hear Ratty on 0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:59.119 the radio or nothing like that? But Drake is actually exciting. 0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:03.160 I don't like this. Let's combine. Let's let's combine. Everything 0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:07.639 that she's talking about was too long, because he got 0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:12.359 Win Pale used to be able to you. Ain't the 0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:14.560 guy us have to sit there, your boyfriend think your 0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:17.960 poom poom barn and he he wished that it was exciting. 0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:23.399 Is Drake?

We supposed to be 0:27:33.560 --> 0:27:35.639 quiet a little bit. I'm not gonna lie like that. 0:27:35.680 --> 0:27:40.400 I don't like that. Don't do like that. Next week, 0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:44.119 all right, we got more coming up next with a 0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:54.040 breakfast club.

We got a 0:27:55.880 --> 0:27:58.200 special guest in the building. The first thing he said, 0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:02.080 why these chairs don't raise? The chairs so short and right, 0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:03.520 and every time somebody comes in and they tried to 0:28:03.600 --> 0:28:04.960 raise the chairs up. First thing I said, is well, 0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:07.080 Kevin Hart bought those chairs. He wants everybody to look 0:28:07.160 --> 0:28:12.119 short like him. Yeah, definitely. Uh, I don't know. I 0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:14.080 don't know a better way to say, remember he bought 0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:16.240 these chairs. I didn't he did, I didn't. But now 0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:17.760 that now that I did, I'm gonna se if I 0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:20.600 can get you guys another set to actually saying I 0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:21.840 remember you came here one time and he was like, 0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:22.960 you know what I should have did? I should put 0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:24.280 my name on the back of these chair. Yeah, I'm 0:28:24.280 --> 0:28:27.840 doing that. I've sent another set. I sent another set 0:28:27.920 --> 0:28:29.119 and put my name on the back. But I make 0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:31.719 sure they raised. What's going on, guys, Kevin, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, 0:28:31.760 --> 0:28:33.840 I'm here, man in the building. How are you? Brother? 0:28:33.960 --> 0:28:36.399 I can't complain, brother, drinking milk, getting tall, same thing 0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:38.320 I'll say every time. So much on the table, you 0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:42.160 so much Netflix, so much Audible, so much Chase Bank, Like, like, 0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:44.160 where do we start? We start with True Story. Yes, 0:28:44.280 --> 0:28:46.440 we need to start with True Story. Okay, dropping November 0:28:46.440 --> 0:28:49.360 twenty fourth. Uh. For those who do not know, True 0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:51.600 Story is my new series that is about to drop 0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:56.200 on Netflix. Excited about it? Drama, thriller. Uh, this is 0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:57.880 me in a way that you haven't seen me before. 0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:01.440 By the way, I have baby walked you to this point, 0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:04.040 the upside. That was my first step in the dramatic 0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:06.720 space and after that hit you with fatherhood that was 0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:10.720 a more drastic view with me and the world of drama. 0:29:10.760 --> 0:29:13.320 And then now now we're touching the world of drama 0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:18.240 and thrillers. So myself, Wesley Snipes, Billy Zane, theo Ross. 0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:20.360 I mean, the cast is amazing, so many, so many 0:29:20.440 --> 0:29:22.680 talented people. But um, this is the real deal. People 0:29:22.680 --> 0:29:24.480 are gonna be blown away by this. What's You're sorry about? 0:29:24.480 --> 0:29:26.720 What's it about? It's a show that's wrapped around loyalty, 0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:29.920 trust and uh. It raises the question of how far 0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:32.080 would you go to protect the things that you worked 0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:35.320 hard for? Right? Like, what is your limit as an individual? 0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:37.840 As a person, how far can you be pushed before 0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:40.440 you feel like you have to push back or take 0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:45.480 or take a stance of uncertainty right where you're you're 0:29:45.520 --> 0:29:47.880 making decisions that you that you didn't know that you 0:29:47.920 --> 0:29:51.040 were capable of making. Um, it's loosely based off of 0:29:51.680 --> 0:29:56.320 the template of my life, the backdrop, the comedian, the mogul. Uh, 0:29:56.520 --> 0:29:59.640 that's what the character is. But then it takes a 0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:02.680 shiit if into a darker world where you see that 0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:06.480 I'm not playing myself. Uh. The version of myself just 0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:09.800 to get you interested. And then after you see, oh god, 0:30:09.840 --> 0:30:13.040 it's not Kevin, it's some others. It takes a spend, 0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:15.840 but it's it's some dope. His story. These two brothers 0:30:15.920 --> 0:30:18.880 and just you know, a whirlwind of their relationship. You know, 0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:21.600 like when you got an older brother younger brother, there's 0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:24.000 a there's kind of a thing where an older brother 0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:27.000 is in control and you know he's really much in 0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:29.840 charge of that relationship. But then this thing happens when 0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:32.360 the younger brother surpass as an older brother in life 0:30:32.480 --> 0:30:35.600 and success. Uh, there's a narrative and there's a feeling 0:30:35.680 --> 0:30:39.320 that comes with that and that conflict sometimes, uh, sometimes 0:30:39.400 --> 0:30:42.040 put some real rocky water in that relationship. And in 0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:45.600 this case, that rocky water is dark. What made you 0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:47.560 do a drum or? Like? What what you wanted to 0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:50.520 challenge yourself? You think people only thought you were funny? 0:30:50.680 --> 0:30:56.600 Now not challenging myself And I'm talented. It's not about 0:30:56.680 --> 0:30:58.440 it's not about challenging me, man. I like because I 0:30:58.840 --> 0:31:02.080 was good, was really good, thank you? Was really with 0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:06.520 shades oning on some rock staring not one that time. 0:31:07.120 --> 0:31:11.960 I've always I've always had the glasses I always wear glasses. Okay, 0:31:12.200 --> 0:31:13.680 s I'm trying to make it seem like I'm changing. 0:31:15.200 --> 0:31:21.040 You are on the hood. I've been changed. You're never 0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:22.840 having a fun card to get up here. That's a 0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:25.320 little different. It's very Cashuh. You got on emerald, that's 0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:27.040 how you know, Cam getting on he Cam. He ain't 0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:28.720 got no diamond when these diamonds around them. You got 0:31:28.760 --> 0:31:31.560 an emerald on these things that these are signature changed. 0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:34.800 I've been wearing these favor the emerald on. Yeah. I mean, 0:31:35.000 --> 0:31:37.040 come on, what day have you seen me? There's different 0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:40.600 days you gefferent sales. Now, what what does that? What 0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:42.360 else do you have out of the Lucky Charms box? 0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:44.640 I know you probably got everything that's a diamonds, that's 0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:46.360 a riginal. I ain't talking about that. I'm talking about 0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:55.840 a real the emerald, the green clover, the purple heart. Now, 0:31:56.440 --> 0:31:59.360 I'm you know, I like the I like the stone, 0:31:59.440 --> 0:32:03.520 so the emerald, the rubies, the sapphires, the pink diamonds, 0:32:03.520 --> 0:32:06.200 all that stuff I like, just like different. But it's 0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:08.600 all like the signature heart with the Kane, I'm getting 0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:10.240 a different type of money. I don't think y'all realize 0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:12.800 that Kevin I know we're talking about the true story 0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:15.440 and everything else, but that evolution of Kevin Hart over 0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:18.960 the past decade has been incredible, from from growing up man, 0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:22.360 from No No, from stand up comic to the acting 0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:24.880 to now you can't You're just the mogul. I am 0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:30.320 very much in charge of my direction and my opportunity. 0:32:30.360 --> 0:32:33.440 I like the fact that I can control my narrative 0:32:33.600 --> 0:32:35.880 in the business and do the things that I want. 0:32:36.000 --> 0:32:40.040 So this, uh, this ecosystem that now exists underneath the 0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:48.520 brand of Heartbeat is one that produces television, film, you know, uh, radio, literature, animation, 0:32:49.040 --> 0:32:51.160 you know, whether it be comedy, drama, it doesn't matter. 0:32:51.240 --> 0:32:54.080 It's all about what we feel is a great opportunity 0:32:54.120 --> 0:32:56.160 for us at this point, at this moment. So to 0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:57.600 his point where he said, why do you want to 0:32:57.600 --> 0:33:00.880 do drama? Why not? Why not going you know, develop 0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:03.360 something that's just different, is outside the box. I can 0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:05.600 still find excitement, and I don't want to get bored 0:33:06.080 --> 0:33:09.040 with the business. I don't want to get bored with entertainment. Um. 0:33:09.200 --> 0:33:11.320 I want to find excitement and showing up to work 0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:14.880 every day. So that comes with the within the creative 0:33:14.920 --> 0:33:17.560 I like being a part of that process. So uh, 0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:20.040 that's why I am Charlomagne. You might be right. I'm 0:33:20.080 --> 0:33:22.920 looking at the last five interviews he did. He didn't 0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:26.280 have glasses. Two years ago, no glasses. Tiffany didn't have glasses. 0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:31.320 I took them off. Glasses way back to seeing wet glasses. 0:33:31.640 --> 0:33:34.560 Glasses that money I can pull up right now that 0:33:34.640 --> 0:33:37.000 you're wrong that I can go to two data back black. 0:33:37.000 --> 0:33:39.239 Why I had glasses on Tiffany's interview. I took them 0:33:39.240 --> 0:33:42.560 off because I got mad, So I took the glasses off. Okay, 0:33:42.880 --> 0:33:45.640 the one before that, when I had on the dark 0:33:45.720 --> 0:33:48.640 shades where I had on like Brown, I had glasses on. 0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:50.440 I took them off at a certain point when you 0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:52.240 guys get me hot, let's not just grab from all 0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:55.040 this money you're making. Because why here the next announcement, 0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:57.880 I think we're gonna hear, We're gonna hear Heartbeat Productions 0:33:57.920 --> 0:34:00.680 has partnered with somebody for a billion dollars, the way 0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:04.040 we saw with spring Hill and reach Wooden Spoons Company. 0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:07.400 I feel like that's gonna happen with Kevin Hart. What 0:34:08.800 --> 0:34:14.480 I feel like, there's none of your business. You wait 0:34:14.600 --> 0:34:19.320 till it's in the trade. Wait till you see that 0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:21.239 in the trades. I don't know you know what you're 0:34:21.280 --> 0:34:25.399 talking about. Uh look man, listen, listen, here's here's here's 0:34:25.400 --> 0:34:27.520 what I will tell you. There is a blueprint that's 0:34:27.560 --> 0:34:30.800 been given and that blueprint has been given by Oprah 0:34:30.960 --> 0:34:34.800 by Tyler by Hove shouts out to my brother Brian 0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:38.000 mav Over there spring Hill. They're doing amazing things, man. 0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:41.240 But the blueprint is about ownership. The blueprint is about 0:34:41.560 --> 0:34:45.520 figuring out ways to control a narrative based on ip 0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:48.520 IP ownership. Um, we're not in this business to be 0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:51.560 worked for hires forever. Um, you eventually want to be 0:34:51.640 --> 0:34:54.680 a partner. And what we're doing at our company and 0:34:54.760 --> 0:34:57.040 I say our because I don't have employees, I have 0:34:57.200 --> 0:35:02.160 partners my team. We've we've symboled an amazing foundation and 0:35:02.600 --> 0:35:06.680 within that, the goal and desire is to have tentacles, 0:35:06.760 --> 0:35:11.560 have branches, and these branches provide opportunities employment for so many. 0:35:11.719 --> 0:35:14.560 And you know, I love the fact that we are 0:35:14.760 --> 0:35:18.920 a black owned company that is all about equal opportunities. 0:35:19.000 --> 0:35:21.920 So when you look under my hood, you see men, women, 0:35:22.000 --> 0:35:25.160 you see everything. We are representation of what the business 0:35:25.200 --> 0:35:29.640 should look like and be that equality, that movement, that portfolio, 0:35:29.960 --> 0:35:32.799 it's one of opportunity and future success for the next 0:35:32.960 --> 0:35:36.440 version of stars. So those stars are entertainers, those stars 0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:40.960 are exacts, those stars are creatives, those stars are heads 0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:43.440 of you know what I mean? Like it goes all 0:35:43.480 --> 0:35:46.040 across the board. I've made mine, I've I've gotten to 0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:48.520 where I've gotten this star and not gonna get no brighter. 0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:51.520 It's about figuring out ways to help the next version. 0:35:51.719 --> 0:35:54.279 That's what Heartbeat is. That's what we're about. So you know, 0:35:54.480 --> 0:35:56.160 I can't answer that question. I don't know what you're 0:35:56.200 --> 0:35:57.800 talking about. Well, when it comes out to the trades, 0:35:57.880 --> 0:35:59.759 I'm going to say I told you so. Maybe you can't. 0:35:59.760 --> 0:36:02.040 Maybe you can't. I don't know. I don't know. We 0:36:02.120 --> 0:36:04.040 got more with Kevin when we come back. It's the 0:36:04.080 --> 0:36:09.360 Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody. Angela Yee Charlomagne, the 0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:11.279 guy we all the Breakfast Club was still kicking it 0:36:11.360 --> 0:36:13.879 with Kevin Hart. It's Kevin slow down now, because Kevin, 0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:16.320 you're super successful. You got three kids. I see you, 0:36:16.440 --> 0:36:18.600 I got four kids, four kids. You love hanging out 0:36:18.600 --> 0:36:23.920 with doing things with your kids. Do you slow down 0:36:23.960 --> 0:36:25.120 to be like you know what now? It's trying to 0:36:25.160 --> 0:36:26.960 be a far being slowdown on the work. So you 0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:30.359 know what, man, I'm definitely I'm trying to I think 0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:33.200 I do need to to go a little slower. Um. 0:36:33.440 --> 0:36:36.200 You know now that we're we're getting back to a 0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:39.040 place of old, We're getting back to life as we 0:36:39.160 --> 0:36:41.080 once knew it. You know there's can't you do that? 0:36:41.360 --> 0:36:43.560 Or you would like you have to, or you addict 0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:45.640 it to No, I'm I got a problem. But like 0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:48.680 I said, it's a it's about the foundation. It's about 0:36:48.840 --> 0:36:52.120 this thing. And you know, making sure the bricks are secure, 0:36:52.320 --> 0:36:54.759 making sure they can't move, and you know, you start 0:36:54.800 --> 0:36:57.279 to ask yourself different questions. I'm getting older, I'm forty two, 0:36:57.480 --> 0:36:59.560 So what am I doing it for? What is it? 0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:02.640 What is it about? I've gotten to a place where 0:37:02.880 --> 0:37:05.000 I opened up a door and that door had like 0:37:05.080 --> 0:37:07.360 thirty other doors. I just start peeking in those doors. 0:37:07.480 --> 0:37:11.080 So I know the different versions of success, and I 0:37:11.239 --> 0:37:13.279 just want to tap into all of them. If you 0:37:13.360 --> 0:37:14.920 look at the things that I've done, right, if you 0:37:15.000 --> 0:37:27.440 go comedy, dramedy, action, adventure, action comedy, comedy, drama, drama, filler, docuseries, documentary, hosting, animation, author, 0:37:28.960 --> 0:37:33.600 radio hosts, podcast hostsite. It's I'm tapping into every single 0:37:33.680 --> 0:37:38.000 outlet because what I realized that everybody should. You can 0:37:38.200 --> 0:37:41.640 do it all if you want to. There is no ceiling. 0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:45.880 So I'm having fun and discovering how much more you 0:37:46.000 --> 0:37:50.879 know the world of venture in VC stocks and real estate, 0:37:50.920 --> 0:37:53.279 all of it. Like, there's so much that you can 0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:56.399 do to occupy your time in your mind, and that's 0:37:56.440 --> 0:37:58.520 what I'm love with. So I don't know. I don't 0:37:58.560 --> 0:38:02.239 know about slowing down. I think removing myself from in 0:38:02.400 --> 0:38:06.160 front of the camera at some point that'll be the priority. 0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:09.440 But the world of what's going on behind will will 0:38:09.520 --> 0:38:12.160 probably be ten times as much as what it was 0:38:12.200 --> 0:38:14.120 when I was in front. You know, your conversations have 0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:16.160 always been so interesting to me because you've always been 0:38:16.200 --> 0:38:18.719 so self aware and to hear you talk now saying 0:38:18.840 --> 0:38:20.200 things like because I heard you on All the Smoke 0:38:20.400 --> 0:38:22.080 and you were saying things like you won't always be 0:38:22.160 --> 0:38:25.160 considered the funniest or be the hottest at the moment. 0:38:25.239 --> 0:38:28.560 What what? What about that realization? I mean, that's the reality. 0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:31.560 Everything that goes up eventually comes down. But when you 0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:34.160 come down, you know, you don't have to fall. You 0:38:34.280 --> 0:38:37.480 can come down and be better than you were when 0:38:37.520 --> 0:38:40.760 you were up if you manage correctly. It's not about 0:38:41.120 --> 0:38:45.600 being the best anymore. You realize that that mindset pits 0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:49.120 people against each other. And I can't say it enough. Man. 0:38:49.160 --> 0:38:52.920 You grow the up and when you evolve immature, the 0:38:53.040 --> 0:38:56.360 best thing that changes is just your mindset. My mindset 0:38:56.520 --> 0:38:59.520 is different. I operate differently. I'm not I'm not in 0:38:59.600 --> 0:39:02.600 the world of being bothered. I'm not in the world 0:39:02.680 --> 0:39:06.360 of care when it comes to other people's needs or 0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:09.040 want Are you going to do another season of u 0:39:09.360 --> 0:39:12.200 um we? I talked about it because the documentary was 0:39:12.680 --> 0:39:14.800 was dope, it was honest, But it has to be 0:39:15.000 --> 0:39:17.200 when there's there's stuff to follow, you know. I don't 0:39:17.239 --> 0:39:20.120 want to just to focus on my world of work 0:39:20.160 --> 0:39:22.040 and success. I don't feel like that's a that's a 0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:24.400 good layer. I think you want to show how how 0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:28.560 complex life is in general, and that nobody is nobody 0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:30.919 is free from both. My next one will be based 0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:34.080 on my company, the company's growth and the people within 0:39:34.200 --> 0:39:37.319 it and how they're managing success from the thing we built. 0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:39.160 I don't want to. I don't want to be the focus. Yeah, 0:39:39.280 --> 0:39:43.719 building dollar episode is gonna be crazy. I don't know 0:39:43.840 --> 0:39:46.959 what that's not. I didn't say that it's it's gonna happen. 0:39:47.040 --> 0:39:48.719 I don't know what you're doing in an atmospere. It's 0:39:48.719 --> 0:39:50.920 gonna happen. I'm just looking at what I'm not. I'm 0:39:50.920 --> 0:39:52.560 just saying I'm not. I'm just looking around. I see 0:39:52.560 --> 0:39:54.680 what did I see what spring Hill did? I'm like, 0:39:54.719 --> 0:39:57.080 heartbeat is absolutely next. I saw a trade, I saw 0:39:57.120 --> 0:39:59.239 an article. It was like, you know, its hard to 0:39:59.280 --> 0:40:03.239 be getting suitors. People are snipping around. I'm sorry, I 0:40:03.320 --> 0:40:05.279 read these things I read. I've all if you read it, 0:40:05.320 --> 0:40:07.040 then maybe you saw I don't mean I don't know 0:40:07.080 --> 0:40:08.520 what's going on. I don't know what to tell you here. 0:40:08.600 --> 0:40:11.479 Anything you regret about doing it on the documentary, regret 0:40:11.560 --> 0:40:14.879 absolutely not. The documents don't focus Up was dope because 0:40:14.920 --> 0:40:19.239 it showed how to find solution and problem right, And 0:40:19.320 --> 0:40:23.880 I think today everybody's focused on problem. Everybody's focused on 0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:26.920 the argument. How many people are focused on the solution 0:40:27.400 --> 0:40:30.360 and a conversation to stop the argument? You have? You 0:40:30.440 --> 0:40:32.319 have some big social media moments in the last couple 0:40:32.320 --> 0:40:34.960 of months. Don Cheto's age and me. You know, I'm 0:40:35.000 --> 0:40:39.000 fifty six years old. Damn. I'm sorry because it was 0:40:39.080 --> 0:40:41.160 a fought, it was a thought, and I blurted it 0:40:41.200 --> 0:40:44.279 out that if we could play it back right now, 0:40:44.400 --> 0:40:46.400 play back. These are two different damns. Lay back. And 0:40:46.440 --> 0:40:49.000 so there wasn't I said, I said, there was no 0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:53.640 like wow, I said, damn, No, you said the word damn. 0:40:54.200 --> 0:40:58.560 Oh amazing, real moment, But goodness, you can't fake that. 0:40:59.360 --> 0:41:04.120 You've heard it's hard like you watch that hundred one 0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:06.480 of my closest friends now a second. I saw it 0:41:06.560 --> 0:41:08.800 in his face. He was like, don Cheeto and I 0:41:08.920 --> 0:41:11.240 are extremely close. I agree, but you still heard the feelings. 0:41:11.239 --> 0:41:14.200 You heard your friends feelings. He thought, I knew. I 0:41:14.280 --> 0:41:20.040 didn't know you get I didn't know. Yeah, yeah, saw 0:41:20.120 --> 0:41:24.239 that out there like that. He was clean shaven, he 0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:27.040 was had a young love to him that day. He 0:41:27.080 --> 0:41:30.320 told me that said he got me. I didn't know that. 0:41:30.800 --> 0:41:32.680 I know what you meant, but it just didn't come off, 0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:34.919 didn't come up. But how do you think I thought? 0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:39.160 He caught me off guard when you started explaining it afterwards, 0:41:39.320 --> 0:41:43.279 that's what made it even more funny. Said yeah, he said, 0:41:43.920 --> 0:41:47.839 he looked at me. I said, I didn't mean like that, Yes, 0:41:47.880 --> 0:41:52.239 she did not. It's like rewarding the take. You can't 0:41:52.280 --> 0:41:54.839 when you watch it. When you watch it, you'll see 0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:56.920 that that's not. That wasn't. How wid how many times 0:41:56.960 --> 0:41:58.600 did you laugh at it after you saw it back? Well, 0:41:58.640 --> 0:42:00.480 when we did, you don't realize it. But when people 0:42:00.520 --> 0:42:02.600 start cutting it up, you know the internet has got 0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:04.759 damn dangerous. They could do anything they want. Awkward was 0:42:04.760 --> 0:42:06.759 it because they look una comfortable? Awkward for me? I 0:42:09.480 --> 0:42:13.680 wasn't that old. Ain't for me? He didn't damn me, 0:42:13.960 --> 0:42:17.200 damn anything. It was awkward for don. We got more 0:42:17.280 --> 0:42:19.359 with Kevin Hart. When we come back. It's the Breakfast Club, 0:42:19.400 --> 0:42:23.000 Good Boarding the Morning, Everybody's cdj En v Angela, Yee, 0:42:23.160 --> 0:42:25.120 Charlobe and the guy we are the Breakfast Club was 0:42:25.120 --> 0:42:27.120 still kicking it with Kevin Hart. I also thought it 0:42:27.200 --> 0:42:29.480 was big that I don't I don't know the communist 0:42:29.560 --> 0:42:32.440 name apologize that he was tied up in something that 0:42:32.520 --> 0:42:33.839 was going on in your life, and you forgave him. 0:42:33.880 --> 0:42:36.080 You talked about it, and what made you say, You 0:42:36.160 --> 0:42:37.520 know what, I'm gonna be a bigger man, and I'm 0:42:37.520 --> 0:42:39.759 gonna forgive this situation and all that I don't know 0:42:39.760 --> 0:42:41.759 which community you're talking about, but I can assume who 0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:45.759 I can't remember his name. I'm I'm very once again, 0:42:45.840 --> 0:42:48.120 it's just where I'm at. I don't have the time 0:42:48.400 --> 0:42:52.840 for bs. There's a lot of like who's funnier. Some 0:42:52.920 --> 0:42:55.320 of these comics take that and they they've run with 0:42:55.440 --> 0:42:58.880 those narratives and they they're getting golfed in that. I 0:42:58.960 --> 0:43:01.120 don't care. Got you there? What got you at that 0:43:01.200 --> 0:43:02.759 level of not caring and saying, you know what? It's? 0:43:02.840 --> 0:43:05.480 Google is net worth? Well, I've never been you know though. 0:43:05.480 --> 0:43:08.319 You gotta be honest, I've never been the I'm better 0:43:08.440 --> 0:43:12.879 than guy. I've never been the the I do feel 0:43:12.880 --> 0:43:14.880 like you've been down my outwork, you guy, I'm I'm 0:43:14.880 --> 0:43:19.240 absolutely I am older. But I don't like the crabs 0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:22.719 and the barrel mentality. I don't like the idea that 0:43:22.800 --> 0:43:25.440 can only be one and it only lives in our culture. 0:43:25.719 --> 0:43:27.680 You talking about that situation, But I know what you're 0:43:27.680 --> 0:43:29.600 talking about. Respect, I was saying, But the fact that 0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:31.680 you're forgiving and that you can look over things, it's 0:43:31.719 --> 0:43:33.960 just it's a step I haven't got to yet. But 0:43:34.480 --> 0:43:38.919 I love the fact that you're there. Why what's your problem. Honestly, yeah, 0:43:39.239 --> 0:43:43.239 it's your problem. Um revenge what I don't know. It 0:43:43.400 --> 0:43:45.360 feels made me feel good, maybe feel warm and cuddly, 0:43:47.680 --> 0:43:49.880 But what does it do after you get said revenge? 0:43:50.400 --> 0:43:53.200 So when somebody tries to attack you for no reason, 0:43:53.360 --> 0:43:55.520 it almost feels like why me, I don't do anything 0:43:55.560 --> 0:43:58.040 to nobody, you know, So it feels like, you know 0:43:58.239 --> 0:44:00.600 now I want you to die living but you But 0:44:00.800 --> 0:44:04.480 that's that's life. And as a day's time, any narrative 0:44:04.560 --> 0:44:07.600 can be attached to anybody, correct anything like it's it's 0:44:07.640 --> 0:44:09.759 honestly sad. How it's different? Would it affects you? But 0:44:10.000 --> 0:44:12.160 when it's something that could affect your family, it's But 0:44:12.239 --> 0:44:14.320 I'm telling it's different. But I'm saying, no matter what 0:44:14.840 --> 0:44:17.400 the reality, the reality of the world do we live 0:44:17.440 --> 0:44:24.520 in today, it's claim first, no proof, no real idea 0:44:25.239 --> 0:44:30.520 if said thing or said said verbal is true at all. 0:44:31.280 --> 0:44:34.239 I'm gonna take this, you know, from from my brother Dave. 0:44:34.320 --> 0:44:37.520 I did an interview and the reporter asked me, He 0:44:37.640 --> 0:44:39.520 was like, you know, how do you feel about Dave 0:44:40.040 --> 0:44:42.160 coming to your defense? And I said, why do you 0:44:42.200 --> 0:44:44.640 feel like he's coming to my defense? Why can't you 0:44:44.680 --> 0:44:46.840 see that he's just my my friend. Especially when you 0:44:46.920 --> 0:44:49.840 know a person, if you really know certain things you 0:44:49.920 --> 0:44:52.160 see you like, I know that's not Here's where me 0:44:52.280 --> 0:44:57.080 and Dave just laugh. The conversation attached to Dave's name 0:44:57.719 --> 0:45:01.719 is attached to him as if people know him. Right. 0:45:02.560 --> 0:45:08.799 The reality about Dave Chappelle, this mother has everybody around him. 0:45:09.840 --> 0:45:13.759 Like when when I say everybody, I'm talking about everybody. 0:45:14.040 --> 0:45:18.239 So so like when the conversation attached to the LGBTQ 0:45:18.400 --> 0:45:23.160 plus community and it's attached with the negative narrative in 0:45:23.200 --> 0:45:26.520 association with Dave, you didn't really do your due diligence 0:45:26.600 --> 0:45:30.719 in looking at his world. That community is really around him, 0:45:30.880 --> 0:45:34.600 like his friends, Like I'm talking close friends are part 0:45:34.640 --> 0:45:37.680 of that community. I'm talking people that Dave has embraced 0:45:37.719 --> 0:45:42.200 and has loved for years that are like Dave. That's 0:45:42.239 --> 0:45:47.759 not true. So the narrative, once put on and once 0:45:47.800 --> 0:45:51.680 attached was spirals. That's the thing about today. So when 0:45:51.680 --> 0:45:54.280 you talk about revenge, you're in a never ending cycle 0:45:54.760 --> 0:45:59.239 of incomplete buddy like that revenge ain't coming, like the 0:45:59.360 --> 0:46:02.399 win that you're looking for, it don't exist. So if 0:46:02.440 --> 0:46:04.600 you're not mature and cool enough just to chuck up 0:46:04.640 --> 0:46:07.520 deuces to the thing that you can't control and give 0:46:07.520 --> 0:46:10.560 a goddamn salute. You're gonna be unhappy for a minute. 0:46:11.280 --> 0:46:15.200 It's bad to have that mindset, especially in today's time, 0:46:15.480 --> 0:46:18.440 as if you don't see it, and it's honestly not 0:46:18.640 --> 0:46:21.680 going to be corrected. Like you know, with the world 0:46:21.800 --> 0:46:27.200 of social media and the idea of what cancel and 0:46:27.320 --> 0:46:30.840 cancel culture has become the thing that it was and 0:46:31.239 --> 0:46:33.799 what was necessarily needed for the moments where you had 0:46:33.880 --> 0:46:37.160 to use it, it's now lost. So it's now this 0:46:37.440 --> 0:46:42.320 other thing that's so much you gotta go. People have 0:46:42.480 --> 0:46:47.080 lost sad of reality. We're destroying people's lives, like we're saying, 0:46:48.800 --> 0:46:51.440 it can happen to any and everybody, everybody. Do you 0:46:51.520 --> 0:46:54.880 understand like we're now in a place where people we 0:46:55.000 --> 0:46:59.040 are going you, We're gonna take everything from you now 0:46:59.560 --> 0:47:03.000 and walk away, and that is when you walk away. 0:47:03.120 --> 0:47:06.000 Do you understand that this person that just went through 0:47:06.040 --> 0:47:09.080 that thing we're saying like you now can't work ever again? 0:47:09.760 --> 0:47:16.640 What happened to the world of progression, understanding, apology, solution growth? 0:47:17.080 --> 0:47:19.240 When do we skip that? Yeah? Because humans are always 0:47:19.239 --> 0:47:21.399 failed purity tests, So I don't know why we well, 0:47:21.440 --> 0:47:24.440 we act like we're so perfect. Absolutely when did that happen? Though? 0:47:24.800 --> 0:47:27.400 When did we all check into the perfect box? You 0:47:27.440 --> 0:47:29.200 should deal with nuance, right. If you don't like a 0:47:29.280 --> 0:47:31.480 joke I said, you don't like something I said, say 0:47:31.520 --> 0:47:33.359 you don't like it, tell me where I did wrong, 0:47:33.400 --> 0:47:36.239 but don't label me as a whole thing because of 0:47:36.360 --> 0:47:40.000 one bad statement or one bad joke. I'll go further right. 0:47:40.600 --> 0:47:42.919 I'm aware of the changes that need to be made, 0:47:43.080 --> 0:47:48.040 especially with the conversation attached to respect. I think it's dope. 0:47:48.320 --> 0:47:50.359 I think it is time we make sure retreating each other, 0:47:50.800 --> 0:47:55.000 not only fairly, but with understanding and appreciation that your 0:47:55.120 --> 0:47:59.120 life may be filled with problems and obstacles that I'm 0:47:59.160 --> 0:48:01.319 not aware of because my life is not the same. 0:48:01.760 --> 0:48:04.080 Because of that, I need to understand that, I need 0:48:04.160 --> 0:48:06.560 to fall back. I need to respect that. In that 0:48:07.040 --> 0:48:11.239 same instance, we also all have a choice. You can 0:48:11.320 --> 0:48:14.360 support or not support. The thing that killed me the 0:48:14.480 --> 0:48:17.880 most is you know when you see all the conversation 0:48:17.920 --> 0:48:20.560 that was trying to be attached to Dave's special, Well, 0:48:21.200 --> 0:48:24.080 you got an option to go on Netflix, you got 0:48:24.160 --> 0:48:29.200 an option to search, click watch. I don't have to 0:48:29.320 --> 0:48:32.920 watch who I don't like. It's okay to not like 0:48:33.160 --> 0:48:38.200 or to not with. It's okay, oion if you like 0:48:38.400 --> 0:48:40.840 I don't like that, that joke isn't for me. It's okay. 0:48:41.760 --> 0:48:44.799 But there's now a thing of well, because I don't 0:48:44.880 --> 0:48:48.120 like it, y'all can and y'all shitt either. That's the 0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:51.880 part where it just gets difficult. And by the way, guys, 0:48:52.200 --> 0:48:54.839 we're not going to please everybody. But the only thing 0:48:54.880 --> 0:48:57.160 you can do is try your best to educate, try 0:48:57.200 --> 0:48:59.120 your best to speak on things in a positive way 0:48:59.280 --> 0:49:01.640 so that people take the positive side with it, may 0:49:01.760 --> 0:49:04.040 understand it. I can say I understand a lot more 0:49:04.120 --> 0:49:06.480 now because of some of the conversations I had my 0:49:06.600 --> 0:49:09.360 mindsets a lot better. I can say that just on 0:49:09.480 --> 0:49:12.040 behalf of my brother. The thing that stuff for me 0:49:12.239 --> 0:49:15.440 is that you don't know him. He's a good dude 0:49:15.960 --> 0:49:19.520 that loves hard. When you talk about Ohio, he has 0:49:19.600 --> 0:49:24.200 built a goddamned community economy in a place where he 0:49:24.400 --> 0:49:27.200 is from to make the place better for the people. 0:49:27.680 --> 0:49:31.680 The people in Ohio are all different, black, white members 0:49:31.719 --> 0:49:35.080 of the community. I'm talking. He put that on his back. 0:49:35.200 --> 0:49:38.480 He out there shaking hands. He's the mayor out there 0:49:38.960 --> 0:49:42.239 and he's doing it for the people. So when I 0:49:42.360 --> 0:49:46.239 see people speak on behalf of a man whose intentions 0:49:46.280 --> 0:49:49.480 are nothing but good and uplifting, it just makes you 0:49:49.560 --> 0:49:52.120 a while. That's where we are. And this is not 0:49:52.239 --> 0:49:55.959 to defend. I'm not defending. I'm not coming to Dave's aid. 0:49:56.200 --> 0:49:59.360 I'm speaking truth of me, just going you don't know 0:49:59.440 --> 0:50:01.880 the guy. That's it. Let's talk about a couple more 0:50:01.880 --> 0:50:03.360 things if you get out of here. I don't know 0:50:03.400 --> 0:50:05.840 if this is a joke or not, but the comedy 0:50:05.960 --> 0:50:08.719 rights itself. Are you are you really playing Arnold from 0:50:08.760 --> 0:50:12.120 one night Only on a different show Jimmy Kimmel live 0:50:12.200 --> 0:50:17.000 on stage, we're doing what you're talking about. Yeah. I 0:50:17.040 --> 0:50:19.200 thought that just looks I mean, it just looks funny 0:50:19.280 --> 0:50:22.400 on paper. It's just I said, Jimmy. Jimmy has been 0:50:22.440 --> 0:50:25.000 doing this thing where they create these old TV shows 0:50:25.040 --> 0:50:27.440 and they do it live. And he was like, what 0:50:27.520 --> 0:50:29.600 do you think about different strokes? And I was like, 0:50:29.800 --> 0:50:32.440 one of the funniest shows ever. He's like, what we created? 0:50:32.800 --> 0:50:34.839 And he told me the people that he was thinking 0:50:34.880 --> 0:50:38.640 about man And when Damon Wins was like, he wants 0:50:38.680 --> 0:50:43.960 to be Willis and you can be on so you know, 0:50:44.320 --> 0:50:46.360 you put your own take on it. But I'm gonna 0:50:46.400 --> 0:50:49.319 be nld from different strokes. I'm gonna grow to little 0:50:49.320 --> 0:50:51.759 throw out and everything. We got bold with Kevin about 0:50:51.800 --> 0:50:54.640 when we come back, it's the breakfast Morning. Everybody's DJ 0:50:55.160 --> 0:50:57.840 Envy Angela Ye, Charlobe, the guy will be out of 0:50:57.840 --> 0:51:01.440 Breakfast Club. Was still kicking it with Kevin hart sph company. 0:51:01.480 --> 0:51:03.600 We have an audible next year we start rolling out projects. 0:51:03.600 --> 0:51:05.000 How are you feeling about that venture? And do you 0:51:05.080 --> 0:51:07.759 think people understand what it is? Where? I think they will. 0:51:08.000 --> 0:51:10.040 And you know, I think when you when you say it, 0:51:10.120 --> 0:51:12.560 make sure you make people understand the initiative and reason 0:51:12.600 --> 0:51:16.080 behind it, right, Like I think when people now say 0:51:16.120 --> 0:51:18.920 your name, they speak of it in one tone. But 0:51:19.040 --> 0:51:20.800 once again, when you really know the person, it's like, 0:51:21.320 --> 0:51:23.879 you know, he's got a different drive and initiative. When 0:51:23.960 --> 0:51:26.439 you look at the books and you read the books, well, 0:51:26.520 --> 0:51:29.080 what is his real what's his real one? And you're 0:51:29.080 --> 0:51:30.520 a part of the problem or are you trying to 0:51:30.560 --> 0:51:32.600 be a part of the solution. The problem is the 0:51:32.640 --> 0:51:36.520 significant gap in our economy from black to white. Right. 0:51:37.200 --> 0:51:40.960 The solution is being a part of the attempt to 0:51:41.080 --> 0:51:45.359 close said gap, bring people closer, bring things to them. 0:51:45.800 --> 0:51:48.840 This entity that we created, well, we saw a gap 0:51:49.640 --> 0:51:53.520 in the space of audio literature, and in this space, 0:51:54.000 --> 0:51:57.759 our culture hasn't been embracing the world of knowledge that's 0:51:57.760 --> 0:52:01.680 available here. So in this entity, well, how can we 0:52:01.800 --> 0:52:04.719 deliver it in the way that can be creative enough 0:52:05.200 --> 0:52:08.399 where our culture can come over and grab onto things 0:52:08.440 --> 0:52:10.760 that they didn't know existed. Or we're going to create 0:52:11.120 --> 0:52:14.600 IP through audio. We can create experiences, we can create 0:52:14.760 --> 0:52:17.600 content and have it available. We can also bring in 0:52:17.719 --> 0:52:21.560 talent to take a hold of previous content that may 0:52:21.680 --> 0:52:24.960 or may not even be known about. So in this space, 0:52:25.120 --> 0:52:28.439 I think that our opportunity of successes is extremely high. 0:52:28.760 --> 0:52:31.520 And you know, for the projects that we've already signed 0:52:31.560 --> 0:52:34.880 on to do, the original IPS that we're creating, the 0:52:35.000 --> 0:52:37.839 things that have existed that we're going to amplify by 0:52:37.880 --> 0:52:40.760 attaching talent. I just think that the world of great 0:52:40.960 --> 0:52:43.000 is real. And you know, I got to also give 0:52:43.000 --> 0:52:46.600 Audible credit for knowing where there is a void and 0:52:46.760 --> 0:52:49.880 for saying we trusting you guys to create this entity 0:52:50.200 --> 0:52:53.120 and rather than us trying to just control, let's partner, 0:52:53.520 --> 0:52:55.680 you know. So for a company of that magnitude to 0:52:55.800 --> 0:52:57.760 say what We're going to give you, guys the money, 0:52:58.040 --> 0:53:01.239 Now run a machine ate the company that you said 0:53:01.280 --> 0:53:03.440 you could do. We're trusting in you to do that, 0:53:03.520 --> 0:53:06.440 and as your partner, how can we assist you. This 0:53:06.640 --> 0:53:09.600 is the world of solution. So when we're talking about 0:53:10.040 --> 0:53:14.200 the need for diversity inclusion, when we're talking about making 0:53:14.320 --> 0:53:18.279 sure that the black voices and that the black portfolio 0:53:18.560 --> 0:53:21.880 within business is given a shot, when you got companies 0:53:21.920 --> 0:53:23.640 like that that are on the proper side of the 0:53:23.719 --> 0:53:27.160 conversation by saying we understand and we want to help, 0:53:27.800 --> 0:53:30.120 that's a dope thing, you know, dude. I'm proud of you. 0:53:30.840 --> 0:53:33.200 I love the direction that you're going in, and as 0:53:33.280 --> 0:53:37.440 a partner, I'm bringing value to his idea. He had 0:53:37.480 --> 0:53:40.520 a dope idea. All right, I'm on your train, brother, 0:53:40.600 --> 0:53:43.320 How can I help amplify? I got this whole machine 0:53:43.360 --> 0:53:46.040 over here. And to his credit, he has a world 0:53:46.120 --> 0:53:48.479 of people that these he now is on the seat 0:53:48.560 --> 0:53:50.800 like Charlote, got a team. Man. It made me smile 0:53:50.920 --> 0:53:53.440 to get on conference calls and hear people speaking on 0:53:53.600 --> 0:53:56.360 his behalf. On his behalf with the vision that he 0:53:56.440 --> 0:53:59.160 has to help execute. So I think the world is 0:53:59.160 --> 0:54:01.080 going to definitely be shot, and I think the world 0:54:01.120 --> 0:54:05.400 of audio originals and IP is growing SBH show up 0:54:05.400 --> 0:54:09.160 black and handsome productions. I have two more questions. Shut up. 0:54:09.200 --> 0:54:16.600 I mean, it's just it's the name. It's your problem problem. 0:54:17.400 --> 0:54:20.520 You gotta get rid of the same man. Bade rains 0:54:20.600 --> 0:54:23.239 is what we call it. Two more questions. At this 0:54:23.280 --> 0:54:24.680 point in your career, who do you get the most 0:54:24.719 --> 0:54:26.839 game from? I tell you who people don't give enough 0:54:26.880 --> 0:54:30.879 credit to. Tyler Perry's a machine. Yes, the business mind, 0:54:31.600 --> 0:54:37.759 the ability to really change the narrative in business and 0:54:37.880 --> 0:54:41.080 how deals are done and how they're made. The world 0:54:41.160 --> 0:54:43.879 of you can't do that doesn't exist for a man. 0:54:43.960 --> 0:54:46.960 It finds ways too. I love to just watch the 0:54:47.000 --> 0:54:49.040 way moves. Do you know a couple of years ago, 0:54:49.080 --> 0:54:50.439 real quick, you know, a couple of years ago, Tyler 0:54:50.520 --> 0:54:53.560 said to me, nobody ever taps him up for information. 0:54:53.880 --> 0:54:57.640 It's only been two people, he said, you and uh, Tiffany, 0:54:57.680 --> 0:55:00.480 I think, said Tiffany. Tyler Perry is one of the 0:55:00.560 --> 0:55:04.239 smartest mothers on the planet. And he's not smart from 0:55:04.280 --> 0:55:08.080 a rocket scientist, brilliant. I have all the answers perspective. 0:55:08.160 --> 0:55:12.000 He's smart from the side of why can't we do that? 0:55:12.520 --> 0:55:15.239 Tyler Perry is an enterprise, and I don't think people 0:55:15.480 --> 0:55:18.520 really give enough credible credit is due in Atlanta. You 0:55:18.600 --> 0:55:21.520 know you got stages now that are owned by a 0:55:21.680 --> 0:55:25.080 black man. Right. The crazy part is who do you 0:55:25.200 --> 0:55:28.480 think partners with this black man to do projects? Now? 0:55:28.840 --> 0:55:32.560 The studios have to partner with Tyler Perry because they 0:55:32.640 --> 0:55:37.960 need to access his world of production Atlanta. The tax 0:55:38.040 --> 0:55:40.799 breaks are insane to have the mindset to say I'm 0:55:40.840 --> 0:55:43.520 gonna build here because people come here because of the 0:55:43.600 --> 0:55:45.920 tax breaks. So no matter what, they have to do 0:55:46.120 --> 0:55:49.360 business with me, whether you want to or not. Marvel 0:55:49.640 --> 0:55:53.360 was using Tyler Perry stages. Do you understand that I 0:55:53.520 --> 0:55:56.720 applaud him. I love him to death. Hove I'm different 0:55:56.760 --> 0:55:59.000 in the world of VC because I've watched how Hove 0:55:59.080 --> 0:56:02.120 has moved. That has no problem with sitting down, talking 0:56:02.200 --> 0:56:06.080 to me and sharing information. But more importantly, hold Jay Brown, 0:56:07.000 --> 0:56:10.680 the world of partnership when it comes to investing is 0:56:10.719 --> 0:56:13.759 not just about your money. It's about understanding how to 0:56:13.800 --> 0:56:16.759 make businesses grow. He graphs the concept shout out the 0:56:16.840 --> 0:56:18.600 nas too Now this is another one that was into 0:56:18.719 --> 0:56:20.919 it for years and was quiet about it. These guys 0:56:21.000 --> 0:56:24.160 grasps the concept of I can bring value to a company, 0:56:24.440 --> 0:56:26.880 and me bringing value to a company. If a company 0:56:27.000 --> 0:56:29.920 grows and they exit, oh my god, I'm a part 0:56:29.960 --> 0:56:32.720 of that win. So watching the way that my brothers 0:56:32.800 --> 0:56:34.920 move and I say brothers because that's what I mean. 0:56:35.280 --> 0:56:38.480 That's information. That's school. We're all in school. So my 0:56:38.640 --> 0:56:42.160 respect and admiration for the people that have given the 0:56:42.239 --> 0:56:46.200 blueprint and that don't hesitate to give the information. I 0:56:46.560 --> 0:56:49.279 applaud it. Oprah has given the blueprint for years. I 0:56:49.320 --> 0:56:52.320 don't think people really understand what all Oprah has going on, 0:56:52.560 --> 0:56:55.160 Like Oper's got a network, a network like Oprah's got 0:56:55.239 --> 0:56:59.200 a full functioning network that has a full day of 0:56:59.400 --> 0:57:02.880 content each day of the week that's not small, like 0:57:03.000 --> 0:57:06.160 you gotta network that means I can watch a show 0:57:06.800 --> 0:57:12.000 produced by and developed by underneath the brand of whether 0:57:12.080 --> 0:57:16.840 she's present, they're not there. This machine is controlling operated 0:57:16.880 --> 0:57:19.760 because of her vision and her want to create opportunities 0:57:19.800 --> 0:57:22.320 for you know, I know I said those are the 0:57:23.000 --> 0:57:26.200 black people and partners, But I got a shout out, 0:57:26.240 --> 0:57:28.520 Mike Rubin, when you talk about partners. Me and Mike Rubin. 0:57:28.640 --> 0:57:33.440 Right now, we're developing a fast food plant based restaurant 0:57:33.840 --> 0:57:39.320 Mike Rubin, where we're global, we're developing a real chain. 0:57:39.760 --> 0:57:42.920 And I talked to Ruben and Ruben said, keV, if 0:57:43.000 --> 0:57:44.360 you like it and you want to do it, I'm 0:57:44.400 --> 0:57:47.080 gonna partner with you. Here's what we're gonna do. Here's 0:57:47.120 --> 0:57:49.000 how we're going to access it. And before I knew, 0:57:49.040 --> 0:57:51.040 if Rubin had me in the room with all of 0:57:51.080 --> 0:57:54.480 the partners that he has, so you know, I get 0:57:55.400 --> 0:57:58.160 I get flowers. A matter of fact, I will show 0:57:58.280 --> 0:58:00.120 him because I think it's dope, just what we're on. 0:58:00.240 --> 0:58:02.680 And once again, just to show how relationships work, the 0:58:02.840 --> 0:58:05.240 audible side of it. Right when we get to the 0:58:05.320 --> 0:58:08.320 side of this thing living and this thing going well, 0:58:08.640 --> 0:58:11.480 accessing people in their ears, Hey, audible, maybe there's a 0:58:11.520 --> 0:58:13.720 world where you partner and you have how can we 0:58:13.880 --> 0:58:17.480 promote market like that's the world of relationships. Fincher VC, 0:58:17.760 --> 0:58:19.600 That's that's the space that I'm in. So remember I 0:58:19.680 --> 0:58:22.840 was talking about the star being briped me backing away, 0:58:23.000 --> 0:58:25.360 this is where my this is where my passion is. 0:58:25.400 --> 0:58:27.240 Now that's my last question. I know you want to 0:58:27.240 --> 0:58:30.240 be a billionaire, has the illuminate Illuminati approach. You're about 0:58:30.240 --> 0:58:33.439 sacrificing anyone to make it happen all the time. Okay, yeah, 0:58:33.680 --> 0:58:35.720 according to the end of that, I've been in the Illuminati, 0:58:35.720 --> 0:58:37.040 by the way, I've never I still don't know what 0:58:37.120 --> 0:58:39.120 it is, like, what is it? Is it? A is 0:58:39.160 --> 0:58:40.960 the club? What is it? You're closer than me, I 0:58:41.000 --> 0:58:43.400 don't know it? Do you know exactly? But if you 0:58:43.480 --> 0:58:45.440 want to sacrifice somebody, you can sacrifice your part of 0:58:45.880 --> 0:58:48.840 this is so they say you're supposed to sacrifice. What's 0:58:48.880 --> 0:58:50.640 they where they say have people eating babies? What was that? 0:58:51.400 --> 0:58:53.520 That was Pezza Gate? Right, Pizza Gate? Okay, I was 0:58:53.560 --> 0:58:59.920 in that too. I was eating baby. So what is that? 0:59:00.320 --> 0:59:02.400 Aluminating pizza get not the same thing. I don't think 0:59:02.400 --> 0:59:05.360 it might be the same elite circles Okay, yeah, but 0:59:05.400 --> 0:59:08.160 they eat babies, that's what they say. This clip right 0:59:08.160 --> 0:59:09.800 here is going probably they're gonna put this up to 0:59:09.880 --> 0:59:12.880 and say, see doing it right in our face with 0:59:12.920 --> 0:59:14.080 your hand and you got the hand that's the hand 0:59:14.120 --> 0:59:15.760 sign right there? Is what is this? I don't know. 0:59:15.800 --> 0:59:18.520 I'm just saying I was about the restaurant is gonna 0:59:18.520 --> 0:59:21.400 be a baby based restaurant, so you're gonna eat babies. 0:59:22.440 --> 0:59:31.120 What Kevin Hard is always a pleasure, always inspirational, always motivational. 0:59:31.240 --> 0:59:33.960 Always man, you guys do it right. Look, I want 0:59:34.000 --> 0:59:39.480 to say true story. It comes on Netflix. All right, 0:59:39.520 --> 0:59:41.680 Well it's Kevin Hard, It's mogul Kevin Hard. It's the 0:59:41.680 --> 0:59:45.439 Breakfast Club. Good morning, Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never 0:59:45.680 --> 0:59:48.600 be the same. I've been saying it for weeks, charl 0:59:48.680 --> 0:59:51.880 I mean that you can find anything in everything on TikTok. 0:59:51.960 --> 0:59:54.200 I hear you. I saw this video with some random 0:59:54.240 --> 0:59:56.120 person with the Central Park and overheard a group of 0:59:56.160 --> 0:59:58.280 people talking smack about the girl named Marissa. So he 0:59:58.360 --> 1:00:00.480 posted it and this girl, Marissa, actually found out and 1:00:00.520 --> 1:00:04.960 reached out to TikTok. You have to see it. Let's 1:00:04.960 --> 1:00:06.600 don't be a dusty because right now you want some 1:00:06.640 --> 1:00:11.320 real It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if 1:00:11.360 --> 1:00:13.040 we ever feel I need to be a donky man, 1:00:15.400 --> 1:00:20.480 did she get it? Becomes Donkey of the Day the 1:00:20.600 --> 1:00:25.720 practice Club bitches. Yes, Donkey to Day goes to the Friest. 1:00:25.760 --> 1:00:28.680 That clinic, Okay, to Friest. That clinic is a hospital 1:00:28.760 --> 1:00:32.160 in Austria. And listen, let's be clear, nobody likes going 1:00:32.240 --> 1:00:35.120 to the hospital. There's not a soul alive who wants 1:00:35.120 --> 1:00:36.920 to be in the hospital. If you're in the hospital 1:00:36.960 --> 1:00:39.160 for anything other than having a baby, that means something 1:00:39.320 --> 1:00:42.040 is wrong. Okay, we would all rather remain healthy, not 1:00:42.200 --> 1:00:45.680 have to have surgeries, etc. But that's just not reality. 1:00:46.040 --> 1:00:48.760 The reality is we all have elements, we have medical conditions, 1:00:49.000 --> 1:00:51.920 just like this eighty two year old man in Austria did. Okay, see, 1:00:51.960 --> 1:00:54.200 there was an eighty two year old patient suffering from 1:00:54.240 --> 1:00:57.480 many illnesses, some of which have affected his legs, and 1:00:57.600 --> 1:01:02.280 those medical conditions affected his legs. In fact, whatever was 1:01:02.320 --> 1:01:04.720 happening with one of his legs caused him to have 1:01:04.840 --> 1:01:07.600 to get one of his legs amputated, just like Big 1:01:07.680 --> 1:01:09.880 Mom in the movie Soul Food. Okay, that should be 1:01:09.920 --> 1:01:14.200 a pretty cut and dry procedure. Correct sidebar speaking of 1:01:14.320 --> 1:01:16.440 dry as in dry age meat. I've always wondered what 1:01:16.520 --> 1:01:19.000 do they do with body parts after they do these amputations. 1:01:19.040 --> 1:01:20.720 You can't just throw a limit in a trash, can 1:01:20.840 --> 1:01:23.640 can't you? In my mind, they're selling this human flesh 1:01:23.760 --> 1:01:25.880 is food Somewhere somebody in the world right now, dining 1:01:25.920 --> 1:01:28.880 on from eighty two year old dry age human flesh. Okay, 1:01:29.080 --> 1:01:31.080 who needs to age beef when you can just eat 1:01:31.120 --> 1:01:33.959 an old human. If these body parts aren't being eaten, 1:01:34.000 --> 1:01:36.640 please tell me what's happening with them, because inquiring minds 1:01:36.720 --> 1:01:39.200 meaning me, would like to know. Now. As I told you, 1:01:39.480 --> 1:01:41.840 this eighty two year old suffered from a bunch of 1:01:41.920 --> 1:01:45.640 medical conditions, so doctors had to amputate his left leg. 1:01:45.960 --> 1:01:48.880 But in life, you must learn to measure twice, so 1:01:49.080 --> 1:01:53.200 you only have to cut once, literally, especially if a 1:01:53.280 --> 1:01:55.440 surgery is involved. See, this guy had to get his 1:01:55.600 --> 1:01:59.000 left leg amputated. We all know where our left is correct, 1:01:59.680 --> 1:02:02.240 that's where Beyonce told us to go, and you know 1:02:02.360 --> 1:02:05.720 where the right is right, that's where conservatives are. So 1:02:05.880 --> 1:02:09.640 he needed his left leg amputated. But an error occurred 1:02:10.000 --> 1:02:13.680 see the hospital work and mistakenly put a preoperative mark 1:02:14.120 --> 1:02:17.200 on the wrong leg. So doctors were supposed to amputate 1:02:17.280 --> 1:02:20.240 the left leg above the knee and ended up cutting 1:02:20.280 --> 1:02:24.160 off the right leg above the knee. The right leg 1:02:24.480 --> 1:02:27.760 was the wrong leg, Okay, all right. The right leg 1:02:27.880 --> 1:02:30.760 instead of the left leg, was amputated above the knee. 1:02:31.440 --> 1:02:35.120 This is not my bad situation. Oh my goodness. I 1:02:35.200 --> 1:02:37.160 came here to get my left leg removed because I 1:02:37.240 --> 1:02:39.240 had a medical condition and end up getting the right 1:02:39.320 --> 1:02:42.120 leg removed, only to still have to come back and 1:02:42.240 --> 1:02:46.840 get the correct one amputated. Oh new friestat clinic. Okay, 1:02:47.320 --> 1:02:49.440 you know y'all getting sued. Y'all don't have a leg 1:02:49.520 --> 1:02:52.000 to stand on in this situation. They are wrong and 1:02:52.120 --> 1:02:55.280 have admitted such a a statement. A disastrous combination of 1:02:55.400 --> 1:02:59.400 circumstances led to the patient's right leg being amputated instead 1:02:59.440 --> 1:03:02.720 of his left. That is an emission of guilt. I mean, damn, 1:03:03.080 --> 1:03:05.280 I'm eighty two. I can do one leg for the 1:03:05.320 --> 1:03:06.919 rest of my life. I mean, damn, at that age, 1:03:06.920 --> 1:03:08.600 I got one foot in the grave anyway, But now 1:03:08.720 --> 1:03:13.120 I have nothing. This is sad. Okay. I can't stand 1:03:13.520 --> 1:03:16.919 human era that ruins someone's else's life. Okay, It's really 1:03:17.000 --> 1:03:20.000 hard to just stand by and watch something like this happened. 1:03:20.040 --> 1:03:21.960 I just don't know what to do. All I know 1:03:22.160 --> 1:03:24.360 is we can't stand for this, and neither can that 1:03:24.480 --> 1:03:26.840 eighty two year old man or his family. The clinics 1:03:27.160 --> 1:03:30.920 medical director, Norbert First said, we have to find out 1:03:31.160 --> 1:03:34.400 how this failure, this mistake could happen. I would like 1:03:34.480 --> 1:03:38.880 to apologize publicly here well Norbert. Okay, from where I stand, 1:03:39.120 --> 1:03:42.720 the clinic should be reviewing its stand dirts. Okay, poor guy, 1:03:43.200 --> 1:03:44.520 you don't know what he wanted to do with the 1:03:44.560 --> 1:03:45.920 rest of his life. What if he wanted to try 1:03:46.000 --> 1:03:49.080 stand up comedy? Huh? Now what when things like this happen? 1:03:49.280 --> 1:03:52.240 The hospital should be financially responsible to the family, but 1:03:52.360 --> 1:03:55.600 the next few generations okay, free medical bills covered for 1:03:55.720 --> 1:03:57.919 all the family. The clinic does not have a leg 1:03:58.080 --> 1:04:01.400 up in this situation at all. They are wrong, period 1:04:01.560 --> 1:04:03.480 and they need to be some stand up people and 1:04:03.600 --> 1:04:05.720 do the right thing by this eighty two year old 1:04:05.760 --> 1:04:09.080 man and his family. Please let me give the Friestad 1:04:09.120 --> 1:04:12.840 Clinic in Austria the biggest he haw, he haw, he haw, 1:04:13.280 --> 1:04:16.400 you stupid mother? Are you dumb?

I'm telling 1:04:22.200 --> 1:04:25.680 you it saying costing arm in the leg, but there's 1:04:25.720 --> 1:04:27.720 no really no, there's no price for a real leg 1:04:27.840 --> 1:04:30.960 Come on man, all right, well, thank you for that 1:04:31.080 --> 1:04:33.720 donkey of the day.

I was on 1:05:08.840 --> 1:05:11.960 the Royalty Tour and it was the twenty fifth anniversary 1:05:12.000 --> 1:05:14.280 of the My Life album and everybody was celebrating it, 1:05:14.400 --> 1:05:16.040 and I felt like, you know, it was time to 1:05:16.160 --> 1:05:18.120 do it then, because it was the twenty fifth and 1:05:18.200 --> 1:05:19.720 I never did it, and everybody was like you should 1:05:19.760 --> 1:05:21.480 do it, you know, and I said, this is the 1:05:21.600 --> 1:05:24.880 right time because I can gather up all the testimonies 1:05:25.000 --> 1:05:28.200 and gather up all the love and the energy and 1:05:29.280 --> 1:05:31.280 shoot the documentary. We did it in like two years, 1:05:31.560 --> 1:05:33.640 so this is just it was just time. Telemann and 1:05:33.680 --> 1:05:36.280 I said earlier today that we cried watching it. Yeah. 1:05:36.280 --> 1:05:39.160 I cried. I cried like three times, like three times, 1:05:39.200 --> 1:05:40.960 and I was like I was I was watching it 1:05:41.000 --> 1:05:42.320 for you. I could tell it was emotional, and I 1:05:42.440 --> 1:05:45.080 was wondering, like, you know, reliving the making of the 1:05:45.120 --> 1:05:48.040 album to stir up more happiness or trauma. I look 1:05:48.080 --> 1:05:51.320 at this as like the other side, Like we're on 1:05:51.400 --> 1:05:53.320 the other side of it now, So we're not crying 1:05:53.440 --> 1:05:56.960 just because we were visiting this and we're sad about it. 1:05:57.080 --> 1:05:59.120 We were visiting and we're sad because we had to 1:05:59.280 --> 1:06:02.680 see it, but we're also crying because we're happy that 1:06:02.800 --> 1:06:04.600 were on the other side. We got out on the 1:06:04.680 --> 1:06:06.880 other side. But you know, it was painful having to 1:06:06.960 --> 1:06:10.320 go back and see all that stuff, see Andre too. Yeah, 1:06:10.680 --> 1:06:12.760 you know, but it's but it's it's it's okay now 1:06:12.880 --> 1:06:15.680 because I can. I can do that because I'm strong 1:06:15.840 --> 1:06:18.200 enough to do that. Now. Well, you happy Andre was there. 1:06:18.240 --> 1:06:19.960 I mean, I know you're happy, But isn't it a 1:06:20.040 --> 1:06:22.760 blessing that Andrea was dead to talk and to share 1:06:22.800 --> 1:06:25.080 his experiences and everything. Yeah, I was so happy that 1:06:25.160 --> 1:06:27.680 we got a chance to to get him, because nobody 1:06:27.760 --> 1:06:30.520 knew that he wasn't going to be here right, So 1:06:30.760 --> 1:06:34.840 that was Yeah, to see him in the documentary made 1:06:34.880 --> 1:06:37.960 me cry. And you said you didn't know that you 1:06:38.120 --> 1:06:41.080 were you back then. And I think so many women, 1:06:41.280 --> 1:06:43.919 so many black women, go through that when they're younger, 1:06:44.000 --> 1:06:45.560 when you're when you look back and you're like, I 1:06:45.640 --> 1:06:49.000 didn't know how specialized was. Your fans knew, and they 1:06:49.080 --> 1:06:51.600 knew how much you touched them, and you help people 1:06:51.680 --> 1:06:53.960 get through so many difficult times, but you didn't know 1:06:54.160 --> 1:06:58.120 the power that you had, not at all, not even 1:06:58.160 --> 1:07:00.800 a little bit. That's why I ran myself through so 1:07:00.960 --> 1:07:03.960 many things I went. I went through drugs and alcohol 1:07:04.080 --> 1:07:06.760 and just treating myself so bad because I didn't know 1:07:07.360 --> 1:07:09.960 I was worthy of anything. I didn't know I was 1:07:10.120 --> 1:07:14.080 this person that I can truly say I deserve everything now, 1:07:14.640 --> 1:07:17.080 you know, because I give so much in my life, 1:07:17.120 --> 1:07:20.200 and I worked so hard on myself, you know, not 1:07:20.360 --> 1:07:24.800 anybody else on me mentally, spiritually, physically. So I didn't 1:07:24.880 --> 1:07:28.280 know I had this power, and I didn't know. I 1:07:28.360 --> 1:07:30.440 didn't know. I just didn't know, you know what I mean. 1:07:30.560 --> 1:07:32.959 And when you don't know who you are, you can't 1:07:33.000 --> 1:07:36.040 treat yourself well. You can't you know, good to anybody else, 1:07:36.760 --> 1:07:39.840 you know. So now I feel like I earned the 1:07:39.960 --> 1:07:42.840 right to say I'm good for something, I'm good to 1:07:43.000 --> 1:07:45.480 someone and I'm good for everything because I earned it 1:07:45.560 --> 1:07:47.760 and I'm still earning it because it's not over. I 1:07:47.920 --> 1:07:51.120 cried watching you um talk to your younger self and 1:07:51.200 --> 1:07:53.400 when you was watching the video, like, at what point 1:07:53.480 --> 1:07:56.800 did you know you're you're inner child needed healing. It 1:07:56.960 --> 1:08:00.960 was a it was a years and years of finding out. 1:08:01.040 --> 1:08:07.320 I think twenty sixteen was my like, real, you know what, Mary, 1:08:07.400 --> 1:08:09.520 you have to really gather all of you up, the 1:08:09.640 --> 1:08:13.200 young you, to confuse you, the everything you just and 1:08:13.360 --> 1:08:15.960 just love all of you. I can't say it came 1:08:16.560 --> 1:08:19.080 in nineteen ninety four and nineteen ninety six on two. 1:08:19.320 --> 1:08:23.880 It just it was a process of you gotta love you, baby, 1:08:23.960 --> 1:08:28.840 you older you, confuse you, great, you, clumsy you, whatever 1:08:28.880 --> 1:08:31.880 it is you are, alcoholic you, whatever it is, you 1:08:32.040 --> 1:08:36.000 have to love you. And the child was suffering thinking 1:08:36.080 --> 1:08:39.000 everything was her fault and that's the that's the one 1:08:39.040 --> 1:08:42.519 that was making me feel ashamed. So I had to, 1:08:42.800 --> 1:08:45.400 you know, as an adult with all his confidence, you 1:08:45.439 --> 1:08:49.839 know that I'm developing. That's the one that I embraced 1:08:49.880 --> 1:08:52.000 the most because she got hurt the most. When did 1:08:52.040 --> 1:08:54.479 you realize that you needed to change? Like, what was 1:08:54.560 --> 1:08:56.280 the knock on the door, the thing that says, no, 1:08:56.400 --> 1:08:58.120 I need to figure this out. Now. What in twenty 1:08:58.280 --> 1:09:01.320 and sixteen got you to that point, Well, twenty sixteen 1:09:02.640 --> 1:09:05.800 was terrible. You know, we all we all saw it 1:09:05.880 --> 1:09:09.040 go down in the world. What happened When I got 1:09:09.120 --> 1:09:12.000 out of that terrible situation, I was like, I'm never 1:09:12.080 --> 1:09:15.439 gonna allow myself to hurt like that again, or anybody 1:09:15.520 --> 1:09:17.760 to hurt me like that again. I don't deserve that, 1:09:18.040 --> 1:09:20.600 and I don't deserve to treat myself like that. So 1:09:21.120 --> 1:09:23.320 I think it was during a normal Drama album when 1:09:23.320 --> 1:09:26.320 I was like, I'm tired of feeling like this. It 1:09:26.520 --> 1:09:31.360 was an ongoing process of healing, getting getting better, getting stronger, 1:09:31.439 --> 1:09:34.240 But the actual day, I don't know the day, but um, 1:09:35.000 --> 1:09:38.040 the time was during the normal Drama album because when 1:09:38.080 --> 1:09:41.000 I said I'm tired, I'm tired of feeling like this, 1:09:41.080 --> 1:09:42.840 I'm tired of feeling like I hate myself. I'm tired 1:09:42.840 --> 1:09:45.960 of feeling I want to kill myself. I'm tired. So 1:09:46.479 --> 1:09:49.519 it was a process of just still doing the same thing, 1:09:49.640 --> 1:09:52.400 but trying to be stronger, trying to be happy, trying 1:09:52.439 --> 1:09:56.720 to find some joy somewhere somehow, and were soldiers and 1:09:56.760 --> 1:09:59.960 we're strong and we're from the hood, and nothing embarrassed 1:10:00.120 --> 1:10:03.160 is us easy, So it's like what else you got? 1:10:03.560 --> 1:10:05.599 But really test me even seeing Papa us are talking 1:10:05.600 --> 1:10:07.639 about how both of you were going through so much 1:10:07.760 --> 1:10:10.479 during that time, just a lot of heartache, and you 1:10:10.560 --> 1:10:13.280 guys wear kids like we forget that when we look 1:10:13.320 --> 1:10:15.360 back at it. You were so young when you put 1:10:15.439 --> 1:10:18.080 that album out, going through so many different things. So 1:10:18.200 --> 1:10:20.200 you guys are leaning on each other a lot during 1:10:20.280 --> 1:10:22.920 that time. What were those conversations like with Puff while 1:10:22.960 --> 1:10:25.639 you were doing the album? I mean about his pain, 1:10:26.080 --> 1:10:28.080 you know, what he was going through. He never really 1:10:28.600 --> 1:10:31.240 got into detail with me about it, but I knew 1:10:31.240 --> 1:10:34.000 because I know, I know him and I knew him, 1:10:34.000 --> 1:10:35.720 and I knew what he was dealing with. What he 1:10:35.920 --> 1:10:38.160 was just, you know, like any man, didn't want to 1:10:38.560 --> 1:10:41.679 discuss it with his little sister. Me. On the other hand, 1:10:42.439 --> 1:10:45.840 I was, you know, dying in public, so everybody knew 1:10:45.880 --> 1:10:47.439 what I was dealing with. But I didn't want to 1:10:47.439 --> 1:10:48.840 really tell him what I was dealing with because I 1:10:48.880 --> 1:10:53.600 didn't want him to kill somebody. So I just but 1:10:53.760 --> 1:10:56.720 he knew though, he knew, and so you know, he said, 1:10:57.160 --> 1:11:00.200 just put it in the records, just put just so. Man, 1:11:00.240 --> 1:11:03.000 when I've seen Casey do that interview where he I 1:11:03.160 --> 1:11:05.920 was like for the international interview, Yes, and then they 1:11:05.960 --> 1:11:08.160 asked you the question. I mean, I have to be 1:11:08.240 --> 1:11:14.000 the worst, like honestly like disgusting because as women look 1:11:14.040 --> 1:11:17.840 at it like that's Mary, like show some respect, damn 1:11:17.960 --> 1:11:19.760 Jay blithe But like you said, at that time, you 1:11:19.800 --> 1:11:23.240 didn't even know exactly it was embarrassing. But look, I 1:11:23.400 --> 1:11:25.360 was treating myself, you know. I mean I can't. I'm 1:11:25.360 --> 1:11:27.680 not taking a whole blame, but I had to take 1:11:27.760 --> 1:11:30.599 responsibility for me. This is what was lightening the lol, 1:11:31.040 --> 1:11:33.080 you know, not pointing the finger. You did it. You did, 1:11:33.120 --> 1:11:35.960 a lot of people did it. But I gotta fix it, period. 1:11:36.200 --> 1:11:39.120 And you talk about forgiveness too on there. So what 1:11:39.280 --> 1:11:41.280 is the process of forgiveness like for you when it 1:11:41.400 --> 1:11:42.880 kind of sell all the things that you've been through. 1:11:42.960 --> 1:11:45.560 Like you said, you can't take all the responsibility. You 1:11:45.680 --> 1:11:49.400 just got to release people. Just release them, and that's it. 1:11:49.960 --> 1:11:53.360 I can't be responsible for what you did, and I 1:11:53.479 --> 1:11:55.840 can't keep pointing my finger at you for what you did. 1:11:55.960 --> 1:11:57.960 All right, you did it. I don't never have to 1:11:58.000 --> 1:11:59.479 see you again. I don't never have to deal with 1:11:59.560 --> 1:12:01.320 you again, but I do have to deal with me 1:12:01.479 --> 1:12:03.800 every single day, and I'm not going to carry the 1:12:03.920 --> 1:12:07.439 poison of unforgiveness in my heart. You don't even know 1:12:07.600 --> 1:12:09.679 that I'm feeling this, feeling like this all my life. 1:12:09.760 --> 1:12:12.680 So I don't want to be stuck and dying every day. 1:12:12.760 --> 1:12:16.360 You know, every time you get stuck in um unforgiveness 1:12:16.400 --> 1:12:18.400 and you just get stuck, it's like you dying every day. 1:12:18.439 --> 1:12:20.960 You're losing yourself again. It's like I want to grow, 1:12:21.080 --> 1:12:24.040 I want to I want more. So you do forgive everybody, 1:12:24.080 --> 1:12:25.240 but you just don't want to see it. You just 1:12:25.240 --> 1:12:28.040 dont want to be like, Yeah, forgiveness does not necessarily 1:12:28.160 --> 1:12:32.040 mean reconciliation. I need to reconcile. All you just need 1:12:32.080 --> 1:12:35.559 to know is that I forgive you, and please don't 1:12:35.600 --> 1:12:37.880 come over here, because every day I have to remember 1:12:37.960 --> 1:12:39.880 that I forgive you, Like that's The's a process. We 1:12:39.960 --> 1:12:43.240 have to remember that we forgave a person because when 1:12:43.280 --> 1:12:46.160 you see him, you got to remember what made you 1:12:46.280 --> 1:12:49.200 forgive them. Yes, I'm not to forgive face. What allowed 1:12:49.240 --> 1:12:50.880 you to say that, all those people that hurt you 1:12:50.960 --> 1:12:52.800 that you said, you know, what you hurt me. You 1:12:52.920 --> 1:12:55.040 might not even apologize, but I forgive you what what 1:12:55.240 --> 1:12:57.040 allowed you to do that? Because I'm not I can't. 1:12:57.080 --> 1:12:59.680 I'm not there yet. I don't have any time to 1:13:00.040 --> 1:13:02.519 race on you, you know, me being mad at you, 1:13:02.960 --> 1:13:06.920 like I just I don't care telling with success, that's right, Yeah, 1:13:06.920 --> 1:13:09.160 I just gotta I gotta keep pushing, I gotta keep moving, 1:13:09.520 --> 1:13:11.680 and if you don't, you're gonna, you know, you're just 1:13:11.760 --> 1:13:14.840 gonna be stuck. And being stuck is the worst thing 1:13:14.880 --> 1:13:16.760 that can happen to you, Just stuck and you just 1:13:16.920 --> 1:13:19.679 so many people are just stuck in nineteen ninety four. 1:13:20.840 --> 1:13:22.599 I don't I don't want to be stuck in nineteen 1:13:22.640 --> 1:13:25.000 ninety I don't want to be stuck in twenty twenty. 1:13:25.720 --> 1:13:28.439 I want to be already in twenty twenty one thinking 1:13:28.439 --> 1:13:30.840 about the next thing. But I can't move if I'm 1:13:30.920 --> 1:13:33.800 still in nineteen ninety four, pissed at you, got you 1:13:34.400 --> 1:13:36.280 all pissed yourself. That's why, that's why I love that 1:13:36.360 --> 1:13:38.240 seeing where you just talking to your younger self, because 1:13:38.360 --> 1:13:40.559 I was sitting there, like, how do you forgive your 1:13:40.600 --> 1:13:43.639 younger self? How do you give your younger self that grace? 1:13:43.840 --> 1:13:45.200 And you know, and you talk to her with so 1:13:45.360 --> 1:13:48.400 much care because it's you, it's your child. When I 1:13:48.479 --> 1:13:51.519 look at him, like, gosh, she hurts so much. She's 1:13:51.560 --> 1:13:53.920 been through hell. I love her. I gotta And I 1:13:53.960 --> 1:13:56.360 look at the little girl pictures she's been through hell. 1:13:56.479 --> 1:13:59.120 I gotta. I gotta take care of her because she 1:13:59.320 --> 1:14:01.160 is me and if I don't take care of her, 1:14:01.640 --> 1:14:03.720 she can get me hurt. Right when we come back, 1:14:03.720 --> 1:14:05.800 we got more with Mary J. Blige. Let's get into 1:14:05.800 --> 1:14:09.080 a Mary Mini mixed man, Mary Saah, it's the breakfast Club. 1:14:09.160 --> 1:14:13.679 Good morning morning, everybody in Steve j Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, 1:14:13.680 --> 1:14:16.120 the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking 1:14:16.200 --> 1:14:18.720 with Mary J. Blige. And what the different was when 1:14:18.760 --> 1:14:20.439 you said you talked about all the things that you 1:14:20.560 --> 1:14:23.160 dealt with as a child, and they were all horrible 1:14:23.200 --> 1:14:26.040 and nasty. I wouldn't want that for anybody. But then 1:14:26.080 --> 1:14:28.200 when you said this more that I can't even talk about, 1:14:28.240 --> 1:14:30.640 I was like, what's the more, because I mean, you 1:14:31.200 --> 1:14:33.680 said some things that are so horrible, Like I'm like, 1:14:33.840 --> 1:14:36.120 you were dealing with a lot, and the fact that 1:14:36.240 --> 1:14:38.639 you were able to climb out of it. Is a blessing. 1:14:38.680 --> 1:14:41.680 And who was there besides your sister to help you 1:14:41.760 --> 1:14:44.240 crawl out of those situations? It was just me, my 1:14:44.360 --> 1:14:47.040 mom and my sister, two women living in the hood, 1:14:47.600 --> 1:14:51.040 no male figure. I mean, it was hell just getting 1:14:51.080 --> 1:14:53.640 to the store, my mother going to work, leaving us 1:14:53.800 --> 1:14:57.080 with people she thinks she can trust. And that's life, 1:14:57.320 --> 1:15:00.360 you know what I mean. And my mother's a older 1:15:01.120 --> 1:15:04.080 and we just watched her and mimicked her. You know, 1:15:04.320 --> 1:15:06.240 during that interview when you were watching your younger self, 1:15:06.280 --> 1:15:08.680 you said that you used to be mean, right, so 1:15:09.120 --> 1:15:12.400 I'm like, never smile and you didn't like the interviewer. 1:15:12.479 --> 1:15:14.280 You said, you must not have liked the interviewer that 1:15:14.439 --> 1:15:18.240 was doing it. I didn't, okay, So what would make 1:15:18.280 --> 1:15:21.480 you like not like somebody? And was that a reputation 1:15:21.560 --> 1:15:23.719 because you yourself said you mean, was it a reputation 1:15:23.760 --> 1:15:25.519 you had because I haven't heard Mary with me, but 1:15:25.600 --> 1:15:27.840 you were going through a lot, and sometimes people don't 1:15:27.880 --> 1:15:30.200 understand that. And I feel like even today when you 1:15:30.320 --> 1:15:33.080 interview these celebrities, you don't people think it's a perfect life, 1:15:33.360 --> 1:15:35.920 but they also don't understand what goes on behind the scenes. 1:15:36.160 --> 1:15:38.760 And so was that something that hindered you in any way. 1:15:38.920 --> 1:15:41.560 Was it a reputation. It absolutely hindered me. And I 1:15:41.720 --> 1:15:44.080 had a reputation for being a bit and being difficult 1:15:44.479 --> 1:15:47.080 and not making it to interviews one time, not making 1:15:47.120 --> 1:15:48.560 it to shows. And I was doing all of that. 1:15:49.320 --> 1:15:52.439 I was bad. My thing was I didn't trust anybody, 1:15:52.680 --> 1:15:54.240 and it took me a long time to trust. I 1:15:54.280 --> 1:15:57.200 still don't really trust people that much. But then I 1:15:57.400 --> 1:16:00.360 was just on guard, like straight out of the hood, 1:16:00.439 --> 1:16:04.759 like please, just don't say nothing stupid. And it seemed 1:16:04.760 --> 1:16:07.680 like everyone that interviewed me was saying something stupid and 1:16:07.680 --> 1:16:10.120 asking the same stupid questions over and over again. But 1:16:10.240 --> 1:16:13.160 what I realized when I got older is that that's 1:16:13.240 --> 1:16:16.040 their job. And I realized that I have to learn 1:16:16.120 --> 1:16:18.360 how to respect people's job, even if they're being stupid. 1:16:18.439 --> 1:16:20.479 Did you ever rectify that, like go back and talk 1:16:20.520 --> 1:16:22.960 to people later? And I did. I remember I had 1:16:23.040 --> 1:16:29.240 to go to the record label and just apologize to 1:16:29.320 --> 1:16:32.080 so many people. And when I apologize to all those people, 1:16:32.160 --> 1:16:35.040 they were like like they were holding their hearts, like 1:16:36.080 --> 1:16:38.640 like they was like, thank you so much. And I 1:16:38.800 --> 1:16:41.280 was like, oh my god, and I must have been 1:16:41.320 --> 1:16:43.400 a monster. And I don't. I don't even remember all 1:16:43.439 --> 1:16:44.800 the stuff I did, And they were coming up to 1:16:44.840 --> 1:16:46.519 me and telling me that I was cursing them out, 1:16:46.640 --> 1:16:49.200 and you know, I remember some of it, but some 1:16:49.360 --> 1:16:51.120 people I was like, I don't even remember your face. 1:16:52.680 --> 1:16:54.759 I was just going off. That's because I didn't trust 1:16:54.760 --> 1:16:57.320 anybody and I was on guard. How difficult was it 1:16:57.360 --> 1:17:00.400 because you know, we were all in high school and 1:17:00.800 --> 1:17:02.840 we don't see how hard it took. We just knew 1:17:03.240 --> 1:17:05.360 Mary Jim Blas signed and all of a sudden, reminisces 1:17:05.680 --> 1:17:07.559 was cool and in real love out the window. How 1:17:07.800 --> 1:17:09.920 long did it take for you to get going? Was 1:17:09.960 --> 1:17:12.200 it a long drive or was it just first single 1:17:12.240 --> 1:17:14.960 in the pop well? The first thing I did was 1:17:15.000 --> 1:17:17.920 with jeff Red m jeff Red was already signed, and 1:17:18.040 --> 1:17:21.120 I went I started singing background with him on some 1:17:21.240 --> 1:17:23.439 of his out on his records, and then I did 1:17:23.520 --> 1:17:25.839 the Apolo with him. If you look at the Apollo, 1:17:26.000 --> 1:17:28.280 that's me in the background singing with jeff Red. And 1:17:28.360 --> 1:17:29.880 that was my one of my moments. But I had 1:17:29.880 --> 1:17:32.160 to go back to slow mom after that, and after 1:17:32.200 --> 1:17:35.280 the Father MC video, I had to I still had 1:17:35.320 --> 1:17:39.800 to go home. It was terrible. Star in the hood though, 1:17:39.920 --> 1:17:44.200 when you came home listen to my friends that hated me. 1:17:44.960 --> 1:17:46.960 I was, I was. I had to fight, My family 1:17:47.040 --> 1:17:49.760 had to fight. We had to It was rough, and 1:17:49.840 --> 1:17:52.519 I didn't realize what was Now did I go back 1:17:52.560 --> 1:17:54.840 and think about him like, wow, we was really in 1:17:54.960 --> 1:17:59.080 the hood still while the records was charting, Wow, that's crazy. 1:17:59.360 --> 1:18:01.080 I wondered what was going through your mind? Because you know, 1:18:01.360 --> 1:18:03.720 you performed Anita Baker for Andre, and then you got 1:18:03.720 --> 1:18:06.479 the opportunity to perform with Anita Baker. What was going 1:18:06.560 --> 1:18:08.479 through your mind in that moment when you're performing with 1:18:08.800 --> 1:18:11.280 what was? What was? What was that Mary telling Little Mary? 1:18:11.439 --> 1:18:14.400 I was just so happy that that Anita Baker existed 1:18:15.360 --> 1:18:17.600 because if it wasn't for Anita Baker, I wouldn't be 1:18:17.680 --> 1:18:20.600 sitting here if it wasn't for that tape that I 1:18:20.720 --> 1:18:22.880 made accord up in the rapture Andre when it came 1:18:22.920 --> 1:18:24.960 to my house. So when I was singing with her 1:18:25.400 --> 1:18:28.519 on stage, and I was about to cry, like cryby 1:18:28.600 --> 1:18:32.320 five minutes because that woman was my angel. But who 1:18:32.439 --> 1:18:34.920 knew that one of my favorite songs was want to 1:18:34.960 --> 1:18:37.360 get me the deal that I got? That's why you 1:18:37.400 --> 1:18:39.000 kept telling to take it away because you about to 1:18:39.000 --> 1:18:41.360 cry every time. And that's why she was like gonna 1:18:41.360 --> 1:18:45.800 cry because I was being mass Do you realize how 1:18:45.840 --> 1:18:47.720 big you are for the culture, what you did for 1:18:47.760 --> 1:18:49.360 the culture? Do you step back and be like damn 1:18:49.479 --> 1:18:52.240 like because Mary j B know who she is? And 1:18:52.560 --> 1:18:55.080 yet do you know who you are? Now? I do now. 1:18:55.400 --> 1:18:58.200 It took me a while. It took me. Twenty sixteen 1:18:58.360 --> 1:18:59.880 was the day I woke up and said, all right, 1:19:00.760 --> 1:19:03.720 I'm it. I earned it, Like I went through hell 1:19:03.800 --> 1:19:05.320 to hell to hell to hell to hell to hell 1:19:05.400 --> 1:19:08.400 to hell in twenty sixteen was like enough of this 1:19:08.520 --> 1:19:11.639 hell man. So it took me a minute to learn 1:19:11.680 --> 1:19:14.680 how to receive. But I'm receiving it now since since 1:19:14.760 --> 1:19:17.000 you you know, not realize who you are in the 1:19:17.080 --> 1:19:18.800 impact you have on people, that don't make you more 1:19:19.400 --> 1:19:22.680 intentional about about your words. Yes, and it makes me 1:19:23.520 --> 1:19:27.479 know that it's a responsibility and I have to take 1:19:27.520 --> 1:19:30.040 all this with humility. I can't just take it like 1:19:30.640 --> 1:19:33.439 how to take it with thank you and grace. Thank 1:19:33.479 --> 1:19:36.880 you so much. But you know, when it's goal time, 1:19:37.360 --> 1:19:41.240 I'm just I'm monstuited, you know, from performing, you know, 1:19:41.360 --> 1:19:43.439 to whatever I do, I give one hundred percent. I 1:19:43.520 --> 1:19:46.560 can't think about what someone's thinking about me or what 1:19:46.680 --> 1:19:49.040 someone's not thinking about me. I gotta just go. Is 1:19:49.080 --> 1:19:52.320 there ever a time where Mary would do a versus? 1:19:52.600 --> 1:19:55.759 Because we talk about unbeatable artists right in my opinion, 1:19:58.600 --> 1:20:00.800 there was just a rumor about Tony Braxton and they 1:20:00.880 --> 1:20:03.920 had to clear that up. What you doneatable? I don't 1:20:03.920 --> 1:20:05.920 know what the verses would do for me. I like, 1:20:06.040 --> 1:20:13.760 I'm because I don't know what verses can do for 1:20:13.880 --> 1:20:18.240 Mary j Plies right now. But um, right now, it's 1:20:18.280 --> 1:20:20.200 not something that's on the top of my list. It 1:20:20.280 --> 1:20:25.200 got to be extended one hundred songs versus But because 1:20:25.240 --> 1:20:26.840 you got too many songs, like, I don't even know, 1:20:26.920 --> 1:20:32.120 how could you narrow it down to twenty? Couldn't? I 1:20:32.200 --> 1:20:34.439 say it all the time, it's not even close. Now 1:20:34.479 --> 1:20:37.920 you dedicated to doctor mister Andre Horrell, who you called dad. 1:20:38.720 --> 1:20:40.600 At what point did he become that father figure in 1:20:40.640 --> 1:20:43.519 your life? When um, I was in the music industry 1:20:43.720 --> 1:20:48.160 alone with no father figure, and he was there a lot, 1:20:48.560 --> 1:20:51.480 like he was there to talk me out of my foolishness. 1:20:52.520 --> 1:20:54.000 Why are you doing this? Why are you doing drugs? 1:20:54.040 --> 1:20:56.360 Why are you doing alcohol? Like like I would hide 1:20:56.439 --> 1:20:59.000 from him because I didn't want want him to see me, 1:20:59.800 --> 1:21:02.400 you know, in that condition, because I knew he had 1:21:02.439 --> 1:21:03.920 something to say, and he'd just be giving me that 1:21:04.080 --> 1:21:07.720 look like like a father, like I don't like this. Yeah, 1:21:07.760 --> 1:21:09.200 And I was hide and I was hiding all the 1:21:09.240 --> 1:21:10.960 stuff I was doing from puff. He didn't really know. 1:21:11.840 --> 1:21:15.320 Could you ever love again? Like being love again with somebody? 1:21:15.400 --> 1:21:17.360 Would you ever have that trust for somebody again? Or no? 1:21:18.200 --> 1:21:21.439 Love is beautiful for the moment, you know, I would 1:21:21.520 --> 1:21:24.479 never reject love, but marriage is something that I would 1:21:24.479 --> 1:21:27.400 reject right now. I can also tell you know about 1:21:27.400 --> 1:21:28.880 watching the doc. You have been doing a lot of 1:21:28.960 --> 1:21:30.680 healing work? Do you do? You must shaying what you've 1:21:30.680 --> 1:21:36.040 been doing, just some self help books, prayer, looking at 1:21:36.120 --> 1:21:40.080 myself real good, always checking myself, like if something is 1:21:40.120 --> 1:21:43.800 bothering me about someone, why is something about you bothering me? 1:21:45.479 --> 1:21:48.680 Just you know, I have friends and people that are 1:21:48.800 --> 1:21:51.560 into self you know, healing to that of teachers and 1:21:51.640 --> 1:21:55.000 stuff like that. So I take information that makes sense 1:21:55.080 --> 1:21:58.000 to me from anywhere where I can get it. You know, 1:21:58.240 --> 1:22:00.280 like if you have a good word, I take a 1:22:00.280 --> 1:22:02.040 good word. You got a word, I'll take a word 1:22:02.080 --> 1:22:06.320 from you, because prayer just reveals to you you you know, 1:22:06.520 --> 1:22:08.519 and sometimes the worst thing to look at is you. 1:22:09.080 --> 1:22:12.800 But I'd rather see me acting ugly or see need 1:22:13.000 --> 1:22:14.800 needing whatever kind of help I need so I can 1:22:14.840 --> 1:22:17.240 know how to fix it. And that's really it. It's no, 1:22:17.400 --> 1:22:20.360 it's no like, oh, you know, I visited you know, 1:22:20.439 --> 1:22:22.800 all the shrinks in the world with nothing, nothing's wrong, 1:22:23.280 --> 1:22:26.200 nothing wrong with that at all, you know. But I 1:22:26.320 --> 1:22:29.200 think the best shrink is us. Like we just need 1:22:29.240 --> 1:22:32.519 to be able to look at ourselves and and and 1:22:32.680 --> 1:22:36.360 say it's okay on you by going to therapy. Though no, 1:22:37.880 --> 1:22:40.920 like we don't. We don't badge each other with stuff 1:22:41.000 --> 1:22:42.920 like that. It's like when you're ready, I feel like 1:22:42.920 --> 1:22:45.040 that's a Capricorn thing too. Yeah, we don't get in 1:22:45.120 --> 1:22:47.760 a way. We're like, look like we love it all right, 1:22:47.840 --> 1:22:52.280 you're safe, call me what something going wrong now, you know, 1:22:52.439 --> 1:22:54.880 But we don't like you need to you need because 1:22:54.920 --> 1:22:57.320 we don't want nobody you need to on us. We're 1:22:57.360 --> 1:23:00.240 not just mental like they don't move. We got with 1:23:00.280 --> 1:23:02.080 Mary J. Blige. When we come back, it's to breakfast club, 1:23:02.120 --> 1:23:08.200 Good morning, the breakfast clubs. We're still kicking with Mary 1:23:08.320 --> 1:23:11.920 jade Ye. Now, what about your instincts. You talk a 1:23:12.000 --> 1:23:14.120 lot about how you have really great instincts where there 1:23:14.160 --> 1:23:16.040 are times that you feel like you should have followed 1:23:16.080 --> 1:23:19.360 your instincts and you didn't and you disregarded it every day, 1:23:19.920 --> 1:23:23.519 every day, damn every day from from nineteen ninety four 1:23:23.760 --> 1:23:27.760 to for a long time. Yeah, when I didn't when 1:23:27.760 --> 1:23:32.120 I don't listen to my gut on my instincts, disaster, 1:23:32.280 --> 1:23:34.880 I mean like big disasters, Like I've had some big 1:23:34.960 --> 1:23:37.320 disasters that I didn't follow. Mine was the moment when 1:23:37.360 --> 1:23:43.160 you say, okay, God, I finally hear you twenty sixteen, Yeah, okay, okay. 1:23:43.560 --> 1:23:45.519 What got you into, you know, saying you know what, 1:23:45.600 --> 1:23:47.400 I'm gonna sit down and do a serious like you know, 1:23:47.439 --> 1:23:49.559 we've seen you in movies before and usually that might 1:23:49.600 --> 1:23:50.960 be a short stand and then you can go back 1:23:51.000 --> 1:23:52.439 on the road and you do what you do. But 1:23:52.560 --> 1:23:54.840 now like you have to stay in one space, you 1:23:54.960 --> 1:23:57.599 have to film, like you know, last night, you're film 1:23:57.640 --> 1:23:59.640 into midnight. Like, what made you say I'm gonna do 1:23:59.720 --> 1:24:04.040 this time? Character? I mean, I'm a power fan, been 1:24:04.080 --> 1:24:05.800 a power fan, So that's why I'm on the show. 1:24:05.920 --> 1:24:09.680 Right now. Um, this character is so much fun and 1:24:09.880 --> 1:24:13.080 it's very cathartic, Like I get to just blow people 1:24:13.120 --> 1:24:14.880 away that I always want to blow away in my 1:24:14.960 --> 1:24:17.599 mind and then forget about it when I came home 1:24:17.640 --> 1:24:20.759 and I get curased. I get to do all types 1:24:20.800 --> 1:24:24.040 of just crazy stuff. You know. So the art is 1:24:24.040 --> 1:24:27.080 what makes you just say, you know, I'm gonna stay 1:24:27.160 --> 1:24:29.559 up and I'm and I'm gonna do my job. Wait, 1:24:29.560 --> 1:24:31.680 when you're acting, your picture ain't blowing away somebody else 1:24:31.720 --> 1:24:40.240 in real life? Well whatever way, well method acting, you 1:24:40.280 --> 1:24:43.400 gotta do some dark places. So whatever you have to 1:24:43.439 --> 1:24:45.679 be a real place. If you got a real place, 1:24:45.800 --> 1:24:48.200 whether it belonged to you with somebody else, visit that 1:24:48.320 --> 1:24:51.720 place and make the character real. I go back and 1:24:51.920 --> 1:24:55.519 visit horrible things that have happened in my life and wow, 1:24:56.479 --> 1:24:58.400 and I just do you have time for yourself though, 1:24:58.400 --> 1:25:00.400 because it seems like that character's gonna continue to go. 1:25:00.439 --> 1:25:02.120 That character's not going anywhere. It seems like it's getting 1:25:02.120 --> 1:25:03.559 spinoffs and all type of stuff. Do you have time 1:25:03.600 --> 1:25:06.040 for you know what? Married time? Yeah? I take that 1:25:06.160 --> 1:25:09.559 married time. You know, I'd be exhausted, but I get 1:25:09.600 --> 1:25:11.800 the time I need. What did you learn about yourself 1:25:11.840 --> 1:25:17.840 after after completing my life documentary, man that I'm a 1:25:17.960 --> 1:25:22.280 really strong individual. Absolutely, yeah, and it's gracious. I mean 1:25:22.360 --> 1:25:25.120 that that documentary you forgetting. I don't want to forget, 1:25:25.160 --> 1:25:27.400 but you forget the influence when you start seeing the 1:25:27.520 --> 1:25:29.400 young girls and saying they look up to you and 1:25:29.720 --> 1:25:31.559 they respect you. They've been through the things that you've 1:25:31.640 --> 1:25:33.439 been through, And how did that make you feel when 1:25:33.439 --> 1:25:35.960 you see because it was young girls that their mama 1:25:36.040 --> 1:25:37.439 had to be playing your music? And how did that 1:25:37.520 --> 1:25:41.240 make you feel beautiful? Because then I didn't know what 1:25:41.320 --> 1:25:43.640 anybody cared like. I didn't know Alicia keys Kid, I 1:25:43.680 --> 1:25:47.000 didn't know nobody getting you know what, I didn't know 1:25:47.160 --> 1:25:51.920 nobody cared to see. I didn't know that then whoever 1:25:52.080 --> 1:25:54.960 was out what was you know was doing and trying 1:25:55.000 --> 1:25:58.519 to be like Mary J. Blige, I was like it 1:25:58.640 --> 1:26:02.160 didn't matter because I didn't matter. I just you understand 1:26:02.160 --> 1:26:05.240 what I'm saying. It was just in your life and 1:26:05.320 --> 1:26:07.800 not understanding what you meant to other people because you 1:26:07.880 --> 1:26:10.800 were just trying to survive, like you said exactly, and 1:26:10.960 --> 1:26:13.160 make it through and do your job and work and 1:26:13.280 --> 1:26:15.639 not even considering like these people are coming up because 1:26:15.640 --> 1:26:18.360 sometimes people will be coming up to you and it 1:26:18.479 --> 1:26:23.000 didn't even look like you comprehended, like how exciting it was. Yeah, 1:26:23.040 --> 1:26:25.080 because I didn't know I deserved any of it. I 1:26:25.160 --> 1:26:27.559 didn't know I was supposed to be praised. I didn't 1:26:27.600 --> 1:26:30.120 know I was supposed to be loved. So I didn't 1:26:30.160 --> 1:26:32.920 know anybody even cared. And you were demo yourself down, 1:26:32.960 --> 1:26:35.240 you said in your own relationship because you didn't want 1:26:35.240 --> 1:26:38.120 to shine too, right, That's how you know. It's something 1:26:38.479 --> 1:26:40.680 I just I didn't want, you know, just like in 1:26:40.720 --> 1:26:42.439 the hood, I just didn't want people messing with me. 1:26:43.040 --> 1:26:45.439 You know, you get too happy, or you get too 1:26:45.720 --> 1:26:49.040 brave or too bragged, doocious you gotta fight somebody or 1:26:49.080 --> 1:26:51.960 you gotta you know, this guy might start getting insecure 1:26:52.040 --> 1:26:55.280 because you think you beautiful. And so that s those 1:26:55.280 --> 1:26:57.439 are the things I had to lay down, like excuse 1:26:57.560 --> 1:27:02.120 my friend that I need to live, I need to breathe, 1:27:02.439 --> 1:27:04.360 I gotta take my time in my space for me. 1:27:04.600 --> 1:27:06.800 The hell with y'all. I suffered too much for y'all, 1:27:07.400 --> 1:27:10.320 So there's no more that. So even back in the 1:27:10.400 --> 1:27:12.200 day when when guys like Jay would say I did 1:27:12.240 --> 1:27:14.960 songs with Mary, Jay Blige money like he was saying 1:27:15.000 --> 1:27:17.800 that out of excitement. That didn't do nothing for you 1:27:18.120 --> 1:27:20.479 one moment. Yeah, yeah for a second, and then I'll 1:27:20.520 --> 1:27:22.360 be back to you know what I mean. It was like, 1:27:22.800 --> 1:27:25.640 all right, that's dope, and then now what Yeah, the 1:27:25.760 --> 1:27:27.240 end of the documentary is a new song. I never 1:27:27.280 --> 1:27:29.920 heard that song off us. I'm assuming it's new. It's new. Yeah, 1:27:30.040 --> 1:27:32.560 it's it's new. With the documentary, are you gonna do 1:27:32.680 --> 1:27:34.840 a new album or is that the process? Have you 1:27:34.880 --> 1:27:37.559 started working already or I'm already in the process. I'm 1:27:37.600 --> 1:27:42.080 already there. Maddison Square Garden, I was talking about this right. First, 1:27:42.080 --> 1:27:43.120 I want to ask the room, and then I want 1:27:43.120 --> 1:27:45.560 to ask you, Mary, Maddison Square Gardens sold out. You 1:27:45.600 --> 1:27:47.280 got one song to before? What song you want to 1:27:47.320 --> 1:27:51.160 hear married before? Form me um? Either either my life, 1:27:51.200 --> 1:27:54.479 the title track of my life? Just one, yeah, probably 1:27:54.520 --> 1:27:56.639 the title tract of my Life. That's a gospel record. 1:27:56.640 --> 1:27:59.880 That record is about God. Come on you, just one record, man, 1:28:00.080 --> 1:28:04.320 that's I can't say just one record, come on, come 1:28:04.400 --> 1:28:07.840 on you. I don't know. That's how hard. I have 1:28:07.960 --> 1:28:10.160 a lot of great memories. It's like a soundtrack to 1:28:10.280 --> 1:28:13.000 my life. So there's some good memories, some bad ones too, 1:28:13.479 --> 1:28:15.320 to some I do I want to hear something that's 1:28:15.360 --> 1:28:20.679 like fun that was a great memory, pain for memory 1:28:21.200 --> 1:28:22.760 my life because it helps me cry when I need 1:28:22.800 --> 1:28:24.600 a good cry. Now, what would you perform? I do 1:28:24.760 --> 1:28:27.200 like be happy though, that'll always be like my song 1:28:27.240 --> 1:28:30.360 because I feel that, Yeah, one song got to perform, 1:28:30.479 --> 1:28:33.760 one song sold out. What's the song you performing? My life? 1:28:34.120 --> 1:28:36.439 My life? Yeah, that's the one, man, that's I wonder 1:28:36.479 --> 1:28:38.240 even that about you And you say, um, you know, 1:28:38.920 --> 1:28:41.080 don't when you're feeling that, don't you have a fake it? 1:28:41.120 --> 1:28:44.080 It's like, is that why you were like so closed 1:28:44.080 --> 1:28:46.040 off maybe back in the day and interviews because you 1:28:46.120 --> 1:28:48.160 didn't want to show you're such a great shooter. You 1:28:48.160 --> 1:28:49.960 didn't want to show people what you was really going through. 1:28:50.240 --> 1:28:52.599 I don't want people to see me cry. I don't 1:28:52.600 --> 1:28:54.639 want to see people to see me smile. I don't 1:28:54.640 --> 1:28:58.840 want people to see anything that could lead to them 1:28:58.960 --> 1:29:02.439 thinking I'm soft and anyway, because I just didn't trust 1:29:02.560 --> 1:29:06.000 people with my emotions and my feelings. I just didn't 1:29:06.000 --> 1:29:09.439 trust them with that part of me. Because as soon 1:29:09.520 --> 1:29:11.960 as you open up, they pull a rock from under you. 1:29:12.080 --> 1:29:16.000 You bust your head on the floor. So yeah, that's 1:29:16.040 --> 1:29:18.680 what that was about. My last question, because I can 1:29:18.720 --> 1:29:21.400 tell you ready to go. How would this whole, more 1:29:21.520 --> 1:29:25.040 healed version of Mary j. Blige tell younger Mary how 1:29:25.120 --> 1:29:27.439 not to get in her way? Well, I always say 1:29:27.479 --> 1:29:29.240 if she could, if she can hear me, which I 1:29:29.280 --> 1:29:32.599 don't think she could. It's two different marries. The younger 1:29:32.680 --> 1:29:36.439 Mary is not going to listen to nobody, so all 1:29:36.520 --> 1:29:38.880 the healed Mary definitely can't tell her what to do. 1:29:39.360 --> 1:29:42.719 But if she would listen, I would just say, stop 1:29:42.760 --> 1:29:45.800 being afraid of you. That's you. That big thing you're 1:29:45.840 --> 1:29:49.280 feeling that you're running from, that's you. All right, ladies 1:29:49.280 --> 1:29:55.720 and gentleman Mary, Mary Jane, congratulations are the documentary. We 1:29:55.800 --> 1:29:59.600 can't wait to hear more music. No, I love you 1:29:59.720 --> 1:30:02.439 in a real way like your Your music has been 1:30:02.479 --> 1:30:05.280 the soundtrack to my life in a real, real way, 1:30:05.400 --> 1:30:08.800 And even now as I'm older, I understand the music 1:30:08.960 --> 1:30:11.160 more so. A song like my life hits different, a 1:30:11.200 --> 1:30:13.400 song like be Happy when I'm you know, dealing with 1:30:13.520 --> 1:30:15.880 the depression or something that hits different. So just just 1:30:16.040 --> 1:30:18.160 thank you for being you. Yeah, thanks. Not too many 1:30:18.280 --> 1:30:20.840 artists that you could say their music has withsted the 1:30:20.880 --> 1:30:26.120 test of times. Thank you, guys, I perceived my flowers 1:30:26.160 --> 1:30:29.280 right now. Thank you. Can we have the song? Can 1:30:29.320 --> 1:30:31.839 we play the song right now? Or what song the documentary? 1:30:31.920 --> 1:30:34.200 In the documentary, Na, that ain't that's kind of song. 1:30:34.680 --> 1:30:36.360 What's the one you want us to play you? I 1:30:36.400 --> 1:30:39.439 don't have it, but when I have it, I want 1:30:39.479 --> 1:30:43.799 to hear it. And it's coming, It's coming. It's Mary J. Blise. 1:30:44.360 --> 1:30:47.920 It's the Breakfast Club Morning, the Breakfast Club. Your mornings 1:30:47.920 --> 1:30:52.240 will never be the same. I'm saying. I mean that 1:30:52.360 --> 1:30:55.600 you can find anything in everything. On TikTok, I hear you. 1:30:55.720 --> 1:30:57.920 I saw this video with some random person with a 1:30:58.000 --> 1:31:00.200 central park and overheard a group of people talking back 1:31:00.200 --> 1:31:02.040 about a girl named Marissa. So he posted it and 1:31:02.080 --> 1:31:04.799 this girl Marissa actually found out and reached out to him. TikTok. 1:31:04.880 --> 1:31:09.320 You have to see it. Everybody is d ch Envy, 1:31:09.520 --> 1:31:12.479 Angela Yee Sheloman, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. 1:31:12.560 --> 1:31:15.800 We got a special guest on the line, Berna, what's 1:31:15.880 --> 1:31:19.160 up brother? Long time I've seen my brother. Now, Berna, 1:31:19.160 --> 1:31:22.080 I would have to say, when we talked marijuana and cannabis, 1:31:22.680 --> 1:31:25.519 you were the first person. I know they had their 1:31:25.600 --> 1:31:28.720 own marijuana cannabis line. I don't know if it was 1:31:28.840 --> 1:31:31.839 legal or illegal back then. But you've been selling cookies 1:31:31.920 --> 1:31:36.160 for a long damn tun How long have you had 1:31:36.520 --> 1:31:40.160 the cookies man? You know, cookies probably been about like 1:31:40.640 --> 1:31:43.240 twelve fifteen years. I've been in the gray market we 1:31:43.360 --> 1:31:46.120 call it the gray market the traditional market for about 1:31:46.160 --> 1:31:49.559 twenty years. So how did you get into selling marijuana 1:31:49.600 --> 1:31:52.200 when it wasn't legal? I mean, it's legal everywhere now, 1:31:52.400 --> 1:31:55.320 especially you know, medicinal, So how did you get into 1:31:55.720 --> 1:31:57.840 selling it? How come you never got in trouble? Well, 1:31:57.880 --> 1:32:00.280 you know, I was blessed to being in bad Area, 1:32:00.400 --> 1:32:02.160 which is like one of the most liberal places in 1:32:02.200 --> 1:32:04.599 the world when it comes to bud But in nineteen 1:32:04.720 --> 1:32:08.439 ninety six they passed a law called Proposition to fifteen 1:32:08.520 --> 1:32:11.360 where you were allowed to buy, sell, and grow medically. 1:32:11.400 --> 1:32:13.840 And so there was a lot of loopholes in that law. 1:32:13.920 --> 1:32:16.400 And so I just growing up just kind of came 1:32:16.520 --> 1:32:18.519 up around that, you know what I mean. So I 1:32:18.680 --> 1:32:20.880 wasn't dumb doing child stayed and I like that. I 1:32:20.960 --> 1:32:22.800 just stayed in my lane and just learned the game. 1:32:22.880 --> 1:32:25.840 And once it became wreck, I was fully gamed up 1:32:25.880 --> 1:32:27.920 to go. You know, I like that story because a 1:32:27.960 --> 1:32:30.000 lot of people will tell you, oh, don't get a job, 1:32:30.120 --> 1:32:32.960 and that means you're working for the man and just 1:32:33.080 --> 1:32:35.160 being an entrepreneur. But you actually learned a lot of 1:32:35.200 --> 1:32:37.679 the ins and outs of the marijuana business from having 1:32:37.720 --> 1:32:40.639 a job working at a dispensary early on, And people 1:32:40.640 --> 1:32:43.640 don't understand the importance because then it really prepared you 1:32:43.680 --> 1:32:46.240 to be able to start your own thing, right Yeah, 1:32:46.280 --> 1:32:48.200 And that's what separates us from everyone else. Like as 1:32:48.240 --> 1:32:51.000 we roll out globally, not just nationwide. You know, we 1:32:51.080 --> 1:32:53.760 got cookies Israel, we got Puerto Rico coming, we got 1:32:54.120 --> 1:32:56.919 we got so many things on deck. But we're providing 1:32:56.960 --> 1:32:59.840 an experience at like you going learn hands on, you know, 1:33:00.040 --> 1:33:03.680 to actually show the customer the bud be knowledgeable about it. 1:33:03.760 --> 1:33:06.160 Our experience comes with twenty years and our shorefronts. So 1:33:06.240 --> 1:33:08.960 it's not like we just can't for the money grab 1:33:09.120 --> 1:33:10.800 or just decide we want to just be let's be 1:33:10.880 --> 1:33:12.560 a week. You gotta let's just get it cracking, like 1:33:12.720 --> 1:33:15.479 we actually put real time into it. You know, does 1:33:15.520 --> 1:33:16.840 it about to you to see you all these people 1:33:16.840 --> 1:33:19.240 are now jumping into the business that before I might 1:33:19.280 --> 1:33:22.280 have been condemning it. Nah, you know, at the end 1:33:22.280 --> 1:33:24.280 of the day, you gotta adapt. Would change. You gotta 1:33:24.320 --> 1:33:25.880 know that people are going to come rushing and want 1:33:25.920 --> 1:33:27.599 it changes a little bit. I just I just feel 1:33:27.640 --> 1:33:29.960 good at knowing that they're so far away from us 1:33:30.040 --> 1:33:32.120 and they don't have to peer intentions. So it's going 1:33:32.160 --> 1:33:34.560 to show, you know what I mean, like culturally and 1:33:34.720 --> 1:33:37.000 just where they're hearts at with the bud. It's going 1:33:37.040 --> 1:33:38.720 to show that they're not really in it for the 1:33:38.800 --> 1:33:41.360 long run. So I feel good about it. Even some 1:33:41.520 --> 1:33:44.759 politicians that were so against it are now like trying 1:33:44.800 --> 1:33:46.960 to get in the business. That has to be so ironic. 1:33:47.439 --> 1:33:50.120 It's funny. It's funny to me another thing that you're 1:33:50.160 --> 1:33:53.400 doing because obviously for our twenty gotta have Burner on 1:33:53.479 --> 1:33:55.519 the show, and you do have an event happening, a 1:33:55.600 --> 1:33:58.439 pay per view comedy show, So can you talk about that? Yeah, 1:33:58.560 --> 1:34:01.920 you know, during during just everyone's doing these concerts like 1:34:02.000 --> 1:34:04.720 wrapping on screen, Like I could never get myself to 1:34:04.800 --> 1:34:07.600 do it. I live. I feed off the energy in 1:34:07.640 --> 1:34:09.000 the crowd, So I was like, what could I do 1:34:09.560 --> 1:34:12.120 that we can bring into people's homes. But then stay 1:34:12.120 --> 1:34:13.960 it's true to what I like to do. I'm like, 1:34:14.040 --> 1:34:17.040 comedy would be perfect. Everyone's doing live stream rap shows. 1:34:17.080 --> 1:34:19.840 It's cool, don't get me wrong, but I as an 1:34:19.920 --> 1:34:22.679 artist cannot do it. I get the buye from the crowd. 1:34:22.800 --> 1:34:24.400 So you know, at the end of the day, I 1:34:24.439 --> 1:34:26.960 thought comedy would be great. No one's really done it, 1:34:27.400 --> 1:34:30.200 and we got a great lineup for y'all, and it's 1:34:30.240 --> 1:34:32.360 gonna be perfect to compliment the high on four twenty. 1:34:32.400 --> 1:34:34.360 People are gonna laugh their ass off. Yeah, my boy, 1:34:34.439 --> 1:34:36.479 Siper Sounds is on it, who, by the way, doesn't 1:34:36.520 --> 1:34:41.120 smoke but always looks high. If you look at I 1:34:41.160 --> 1:34:45.320 thought you smoked for sure. Yeah, Styper Sounds, Bob Sagging, 1:34:45.400 --> 1:34:49.599 you got Michael Blacks and Paul Rodriguez, um a little duvault, 1:34:50.160 --> 1:34:53.320 Jeff Ross. It's gonna be so break down the different 1:34:53.400 --> 1:34:55.720 streams of weed and what people would use weed for, 1:34:56.000 --> 1:34:59.120 whether it's a TI but in the hybrid. Break that down. 1:34:59.200 --> 1:35:01.040 Because you smoke in the mornings. You what are you 1:35:01.080 --> 1:35:04.000 smoke in the morning? You know I smoke. So typically 1:35:04.600 --> 1:35:06.760 people say it's Stiva is more for like the mind, 1:35:06.840 --> 1:35:09.200 like a head high indicas more for like the body 1:35:09.600 --> 1:35:13.040 but just like anything else, the human body is different. 1:35:13.120 --> 1:35:15.960 So Angela might smoke an indicat that kind of makes 1:35:16.000 --> 1:35:17.640 your mind kind of race a little bit. You might 1:35:17.680 --> 1:35:20.679 smoke a sativa that that that super puts you down. 1:35:20.800 --> 1:35:23.400 So it all depends on your body. This morning, I'm 1:35:23.439 --> 1:35:25.720 smoking something super strong and kind of wake them up 1:35:25.760 --> 1:35:27.360 because I was like, I gotta get on camera, I 1:35:27.400 --> 1:35:29.680 gotta get right. So you know, I find what I 1:35:29.800 --> 1:35:32.519 like in Bernie, but Budd does so much and it's 1:35:32.520 --> 1:35:34.680 so good for you, bro, Like, I gotta send both 1:35:34.680 --> 1:35:37.879 of you guys a new products, a mushroom UM CBD 1:35:38.040 --> 1:35:42.360 CBM blend, and I like that it's incredible. Look for 1:35:42.439 --> 1:35:44.960 the morning, we got clarity. It opens up your minds 1:35:44.960 --> 1:35:47.080 like out of raw without your heart beating there feeling 1:35:47.160 --> 1:35:49.519 many and then we at the BedHead for night, which 1:35:49.760 --> 1:35:52.400 gives you the best rest. But the mushrooms is the 1:35:52.520 --> 1:35:54.680 next thing too. You're gonna see your boy ahead of 1:35:54.720 --> 1:35:57.639 the game with the mushroom is so good for your body, man, 1:35:57.960 --> 1:36:00.479 And so I gotta send both y'all some caps. They're legal, 1:36:00.520 --> 1:36:04.080 you won't get in trouble, but they're they're incredible for 1:36:04.120 --> 1:36:05.920 the morning and the night. Now I wanted to also 1:36:06.000 --> 1:36:08.280 talk to you about I saw you discussing, and I 1:36:08.360 --> 1:36:11.360 really loved your response. Right, your store, one of your stores, 1:36:11.439 --> 1:36:14.800 they actually broke in and stole like a million dollars worth, 1:36:14.840 --> 1:36:17.680 and obviously people were protesting in the streets, and your 1:36:17.760 --> 1:36:20.920 response was, if you can just discuss that, because I 1:36:21.000 --> 1:36:23.400 know a lot of people who are store owners when 1:36:23.720 --> 1:36:27.280 they were protests and their stores were getting damaged and looted, 1:36:27.640 --> 1:36:30.599 What did you have to say when that happened to you? Look, 1:36:30.640 --> 1:36:33.040 it sucks, obviously, but I understand why it happened. I 1:36:33.200 --> 1:36:35.840 respect why it happened. It's it's part of the world, right, 1:36:35.920 --> 1:36:37.840 Like the world is in such an angry state, and 1:36:38.400 --> 1:36:41.240 they've killed multiple people on camera and keep rubbing in 1:36:41.400 --> 1:36:43.320 our face and act like it's not a big deal. 1:36:43.400 --> 1:36:47.080 And so as a as a minority owner in any business, 1:36:47.240 --> 1:36:49.880 just being out here being racially profile when I'm out 1:36:49.920 --> 1:36:52.360 and about, I understand one hundred percent what was going on. 1:36:52.560 --> 1:36:54.800 So I told my guards to stand down. No one 1:36:54.880 --> 1:36:57.080 needs to die with it's just money. I could bounce 1:36:57.120 --> 1:36:59.320 back real quick, but you cannot get that man's life back, 1:36:59.400 --> 1:37:02.519 Like that man's life was taken from him and it 1:37:02.720 --> 1:37:05.720 was televised, and the whole world washed it, and so 1:37:05.880 --> 1:37:07.960 we were a part of what the world's reaction was. 1:37:08.080 --> 1:37:09.920 We were in the way of the storm, and so 1:37:10.080 --> 1:37:12.519 you can't get more You can't get mad when it rains, right, 1:37:12.560 --> 1:37:14.839 And so my whole thing was like, dude, I understand 1:37:14.880 --> 1:37:18.200 why it happened, and I wasn't mad at all. A 1:37:18.280 --> 1:37:21.200 bunch of people online talking to get Superman, like that's 1:37:21.400 --> 1:37:23.479 how could you not understand where people's hearts were at 1:37:23.520 --> 1:37:25.600 when that happened? That she was like, and it was 1:37:25.800 --> 1:37:28.640 it keeps happening. It's still happening. Look what happened in 1:37:28.720 --> 1:37:30.600 the thirteen year old boy in Chicago. So it's like 1:37:31.120 --> 1:37:33.160 at the end of the day, like, you know, I 1:37:33.280 --> 1:37:35.160 just I felt what the world was feeling, and I 1:37:35.280 --> 1:37:38.240 understood it, and and I just took it because it 1:37:38.439 --> 1:37:39.960 is what it is, you know what I mean? Like, 1:37:40.280 --> 1:37:42.080 how could you how could you trip all some money 1:37:42.080 --> 1:37:45.080 when someone just lost their father. It just doesn't work 1:37:45.120 --> 1:37:47.560 like that. And now we're waiting for the outcome of 1:37:47.640 --> 1:37:50.960 Derek Chauvin's child, So that's gonna we'll see what happens 1:37:51.040 --> 1:37:53.120 after that. They're trying to prepare for that across the 1:37:53.200 --> 1:37:56.240 country too, But it's gonna be some If you kill somebody, 1:37:56.240 --> 1:37:58.400 you're asking you to go to jail. It's it's on camera, 1:37:58.680 --> 1:38:01.680 like whether he had COVID or whether he was on drug, 1:38:01.880 --> 1:38:05.400 whatever it was that his knee was on his neck 1:38:05.479 --> 1:38:07.640 for how long it's on camera, you cannot say that 1:38:07.800 --> 1:38:10.160 that's justifiable. So I hope that they do the right 1:38:10.200 --> 1:38:12.439 thing in that. One more thing I wanted to ask, though, 1:38:12.479 --> 1:38:15.639 have you always had this entrepreneurship mindset? Because I saw 1:38:15.720 --> 1:38:18.439 you posting about the hotel and how your goal is 1:38:18.479 --> 1:38:20.720 to own a hotel one day, and then you have 1:38:20.880 --> 1:38:23.920 this network. Obviously you have cookies, So can you tell 1:38:24.000 --> 1:38:26.640 us where that mindset came from for you? No, my 1:38:26.920 --> 1:38:28.880 parents always told me, don't work for nobody else, to 1:38:28.920 --> 1:38:30.880 search your own business, even if it doesn't work for you, 1:38:31.000 --> 1:38:33.240 just be your own boss. So that was in starting 1:38:33.320 --> 1:38:35.000 my heads a little kid. You know, my father had 1:38:35.040 --> 1:38:37.320 a Mexican restaurant. I've seen what he did growing up, 1:38:37.360 --> 1:38:39.720 and it was never enough for us, Like it's it's tough. 1:38:39.760 --> 1:38:41.680 You can only sell read or taco for so much. 1:38:41.720 --> 1:38:43.439 So I was like, what can I do? And I 1:38:43.600 --> 1:38:45.160 just kind of follow my gut. I don't know what 1:38:45.280 --> 1:38:47.320 it was, but I've been working stup and twelve. I 1:38:47.400 --> 1:38:50.080 loted by my age, got my job and started stacking 1:38:50.120 --> 1:38:52.320 my bread and flipping my bread, and you know that's 1:38:52.439 --> 1:38:54.920 that's just the way I am. Maybe it's Siberia Barria, 1:38:55.040 --> 1:38:59.720 is you know? Independent Blueprint Central. So readily appreciate you 1:38:59.800 --> 1:39:02.559 for checking in.
