Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, it's Sunday World Mental Health Day. We're
Speaker 1: doing it at the Marry Up Marquis Time Square from
Speaker 1: eleven to four, a day of mental health education and healing.
Speaker 1: Tracy will be speaking on the Black Woman's Panel. We're
Speaker 1: happy to have you, Tracy. Thank you very much, Thank
Speaker 1: your Grandfama's show. Thank you, Queen, appreciate appreciate it. Thank you,
Speaker 1: and y'all coming back on Monday, October eleventh with Peace
Speaker 1: of Mind. Yes, yes, we got a car helping us
Speaker 1: all heal. You know, people that don't know about it,
Speaker 1: break down what it is and so people will understand.
Speaker 1: Peace of Mind is a talk show where we address
Speaker 1: different issues dealing with mental health. Where we will interview
Speaker 1: a celebrity because you know, fans think that just because
Speaker 1: we are celebrities and we have money, somehow all of
Speaker 1: our problems go away. So we show them that, yes,
Speaker 1: everyone is struggling. You are not alone, even celebrities. Then
Speaker 1: we interview a regular person, every day civilian who is
Speaker 1: suffering with the same maybe mental condition, whether it's social anxiety,
Speaker 1: whether it's depression, whether it's ADHD. We all have something
Speaker 1: right and so then we have the third segment of
Speaker 1: the show where we bring a professional and a psychiatrist,
Speaker 1: a clinician therapist to help us understand the topic we're
Speaker 1: talking about, to give us tools to know what to
Speaker 1: do when we are feeling the way or those who
Speaker 1: may be suffering or can identify with the subject matter
Speaker 1: that we're dealing with. So it's an educational show. It's
Speaker 1: a show where we laugh, we cry, and we're also
Speaker 1: trying to show that actually, this is what a therapy
Speaker 1: session looks like. You know, you in a safe space,
Speaker 1: you talk about the things that are bugging you or
Speaker 1: that are keeping you down, and you have a professional
Speaker 1: there to help guide you through it, and you laugh,
Speaker 1: you cry, and it's really not as scary as you think.
Speaker 1: I see some fascinating guests that you guys have on
Speaker 1: I saw the trailer for the new season, and I
Speaker 1: was just in my head trying to figure out Like
Speaker 1: Chloe Belly, I can imagine it's tough for her. You know,
Speaker 1: her and her sister have separated their Instagram pages. She's
Speaker 1: put out some amazing music and videos, but then at
Speaker 1: the same time, all these people are coming at her
Speaker 1: now because they're still picturing what she was like when
Speaker 1: she was younger, and so I know things like that
Speaker 1: have to be difficult, and sometimes people don't look at
Speaker 1: artists as human beings that have feelings too, that part,
Speaker 1: and I think that's another aspect of the show where
Speaker 1: they get to see some of their favorites be human,
Speaker 1: because that's who we are at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: You just millions just happened to get to see us
Speaker 1: go to work and see what we do. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we have feelings. It's a
Speaker 1: real person behind all the flashing lights. How therapeutic because
Speaker 1: the show been for you, you both for us, it's
Speaker 1: like we're going to therapy every day. So it's been
Speaker 1: such a gift in that way where I don't have
Speaker 1: to go to my therapist as often as I used
Speaker 1: to because you know, the show has sort of filled
Speaker 1: in that space for me. So to be able to
Speaker 1: talk about your own personal challenges, connect with others there
Speaker 1: who might have the same challenges with you, and then
Speaker 1: have somebody there to stop all of our bantering back
Speaker 1: and forth and say, okay, that's nice. I hear you.
Speaker 1: You want to help each other, but here the tools
Speaker 1: you need, and you know, Taraga and I've been going
Speaker 1: through this for thirty eight years, having these conversations and
Speaker 1: sometimes where what we have to say is helpful to
Speaker 1: see each other, and sometimes it might not be so
Speaker 1: to be able to step back and say you my
Speaker 1: boom and we got each other. But let me go
Speaker 1: over here and talk to you know, right, she's gonna
Speaker 1: have a more objective point of view. You know, I
Speaker 1: was going to ask, how difficult is it to get
Speaker 1: some of these people that you have that you're interviewing
Speaker 1: to open up? Is it very difficult? Because a lot
Speaker 1: of times some of these people never spoke to a
Speaker 1: therapist before, so you guys might be the first time
Speaker 1: that they're really opening up. So is that difficult. No,
Speaker 1: we have a lot of guests come on and they
Speaker 1: talk about how comfortable they feel because we are both
Speaker 1: in therapy. We're not professionals, but we understand us, we
Speaker 1: understand our culture, we understand our people, and we know
Speaker 1: in order for any black person to open up to anybody,
Speaker 1: they have to feel safe and they have to know
Speaker 1: who they talking to is real. It's not like you're
Speaker 1: not fake, you don't have no other objective. We're not
Speaker 1: a show where we're baiting for numbers. We don't push
Speaker 1: people to tears or things like. Everything on our show
Speaker 1: pretty much happens organically. We of course set the questions up,
Speaker 1: we make them feel very safe, and they just open
Speaker 1: up because we're open up, you know. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: we got more with Tracy Jade into Roger p Hinston
Speaker 1: when we come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Everybody is envy Angela, Ye
Speaker 1: we are. The Breakfast Club was still kicking it with
Speaker 1: Tracy Jade into Roger b. Hnton. Now ye, now when
Speaker 1: we're talking about this new season of Peace of Mind,
Speaker 1: right where there's some moments that you guys were like
Speaker 1: shocked by as well, because I'm sure, like you said,
Speaker 1: people are comfortable. They're coming in there knowing you're not
Speaker 1: trying to get an AHA moment. But you have some
Speaker 1: amazing guests this season, so where there are times that
Speaker 1: you were like, I can't believe this is happening. G
Speaker 1: Herbo sticks out in my mind. Um that young man,
Speaker 1: I mean, please watch this show, watch his episode. I
Speaker 1: hope so many young brothers watch that episode because I'll
Speaker 1: never forget this, my son. You know loves rap music,
Speaker 1: of course, and when he started getting really getting into it,
Speaker 1: but he was listening to the rappers coming out of Chicago,
Speaker 1: and I told you, Herbo that just listening to his
Speaker 1: experience growing up around all that violence and m He said, Mom,
Speaker 1: you know those the rappers in Chicago rapped from a
Speaker 1: different sphere, Like I feel their pain. I'd I'd be
Speaker 1: pounding my chest because I can feel their pain, he said.
Speaker 1: And the sad part about it is that they're they're
Speaker 1: really superstars, but because of what they've been going through,
Speaker 1: they will probably never reached that success because of their environment.
Speaker 1: And this kid had never been to Chicago at this point.
Speaker 1: I wasn't shooting filming Cookie. This is what he felt
Speaker 1: through the music, through the messages. And then when I
Speaker 1: really sat down and got to know Ji Herbo, I
Speaker 1: understood exactly what my son meant that. Thank god, Gi
Speaker 1: Herbo made it out. But he talks about all the
Speaker 1: people he said, he couldn't name what about one hundred
Speaker 1: of his colleagues they know that has died. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: troubling because his story is the norm for our kids. Part.
Speaker 1: So I'm watching New York right now. The way they
Speaker 1: had the twenty one kids under eighteen who died by
Speaker 1: gun violence. Yeah, um, in Brooklyn and all over. And
Speaker 1: that's that blueprint is traveling through every one of our
Speaker 1: cities right now. And that's scary. It's hell because they
Speaker 1: don't care. I gee, Herbo said out of his mouth.
Speaker 1: He did. It was the point of his like, we
Speaker 1: didn't care every live or die. You're talking about children
Speaker 1: who have their whole lives to look forward to, not
Speaker 1: giving a sh about anything. I love ge Herbo because
Speaker 1: he's twenty five years old man, and I wish that
Speaker 1: I had the tools and the resources and the information
Speaker 1: in regards the mental health at that at that young age.
Speaker 1: So I love the fact that he's sold vocal about
Speaker 1: what he goes through it too. I mean, I just
Speaker 1: I have such a respect for that young man. Like that,
Speaker 1: to me was my most special episode because I just
Speaker 1: I have a love for black men just so deep,
Speaker 1: because I just understand our struggles as a people and
Speaker 1: what is put upon the black man and which you
Speaker 1: gotta always gotta be strong and this and that. In
Speaker 1: the third and because I have a son, I'm a mother,
Speaker 1: you know, And just I saw so many men in
Speaker 1: my life that I love, and this young man, my father,
Speaker 1: my son, all of them men I loved, I chose
Speaker 1: to love. I just, yeah, that episode is so important.
Speaker 1: He's so important. Yeah, And I think if we all,
Speaker 1: you know, those of us were in a position too,
Speaker 1: if we all just took one young man. You see
Speaker 1: them walking down to the corner store, you see them
Speaker 1: not you know, showing up places and to the job interview, whatever,
Speaker 1: If we could all just take one. And I know
Speaker 1: that sounds really like I don't know, you know, a
Speaker 1: thought that is impossible, like I don't have time, or
Speaker 1: I'm scared, or whatever it is. But I you know,
Speaker 1: I am looking in the eyes right now of a
Speaker 1: young man that I love so deeply, and he's in
Speaker 1: the middle of this stuff, and he maybe watching right
Speaker 1: now or or not, but I love him so deeply.
Speaker 1: I'm willing to do anything to offer him just a
Speaker 1: moment of an opportunity. I don't know what he's missing,
Speaker 1: I don't know what is heard. He just lost his
Speaker 1: best friend, and his best friend was murdered three nights ago,
Speaker 1: and I know he's suffering. He's young, he's a teenager,
Speaker 1: and I'm I can't give up on him. He's out
Speaker 1: in the streets. He's confused. That goddamn weed is going crazy.
Speaker 1: You know what it is? They get hooked all that
Speaker 1: crazy stuff. But I will not This weed ain't no herb.
Speaker 1: This ain't no herb, ain't read. I don't know what
Speaker 1: they doing, but it ain't right. It's mess messing out, baby,
Speaker 1: drop man. Pay attention to the weed. They're telling us.

Speaker 1: some education. Well that was how many New York Times
Speaker 1: bestselling offers two times over, and I have an honorary
Speaker 1: degree from Southolinda State University. I think you don't need
Speaker 1: honorary degree. You need a real degree. What I'm doing
Speaker 1: better than you? Yeah? He up there, man, man, because
Speaker 1: all right, but you'd be doing the room with the
Speaker 1: front page news, Charla Man. You'll come in, you'll ask
Speaker 1: something that he's literally just stated, because I want to
Speaker 1: know a better understanding. They teach you that in school, right,
Speaker 1: don't say it again, and you'll be like, but wow,
Speaker 1: exactly what is real? Longed for a minute, and then
Speaker 1: you'll repeat what she just said was literally the why
Speaker 1: that is? No? That is that is not true. I
Speaker 1: want to know why. I want to know. I want
Speaker 1: to know why. What's wrong with asking why? Like I
Speaker 1: want to know what's the root of your trauma? Right now?
Speaker 1: Why are you so mad? Mama? You have a good day.
Speaker 1: See that's the problem. What you caught I'm doing better

Speaker 1: other day about by Kyye West, it was really hyping
Speaker 1: up and Drake came out with a really good album
Speaker 1: and you're gonna sit there and talk about only thing
Speaker 1: you was too long and but some of the people
Speaker 1: y'all be hyping up on this show are so trash?
Speaker 1: Why why? Why do you think? Why? Why? Why do
Speaker 1: I think they're trying? Okay, for example, y'all hype a
Speaker 1: party be so much party? I'm so sick. Doesn't her
Speaker 1: talking about her posy? I don't know if I could
Speaker 1: say that on the radio, her talk about it? Okay,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm being inside that thing on every
Speaker 1: single song. But every time she's dropping anything, y'all be like, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's so amazing, it's so good, it's so wonderful. You
Speaker 1: ain't come out with real lyrics and talk about different
Speaker 1: stuff and young who who? Who? You see? Why follow

Speaker 1: dropping real lyrics? Tell me who just dropped? Man? Knock
Speaker 1: it off. I'll be on this radio talking about rhapsody.
Speaker 1: You ain't scream a rhapsody song yet. I might rapsody,
Speaker 1: but rapsy boring. That's see what I'm saying. See what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But you but you to college educated one,
Speaker 1: but you can't appreciate a rahapsody. I might rapsody, but
Speaker 1: rapsody boring though? Okay, we ain't. Can hear Ratty on
Speaker 1: the radio or nothing like that? But Drake is actually exciting.
Speaker 1: I don't like this. Let's combine. Let's let's combine. Everything
Speaker 1: that she's talking about was too long, because he got
Speaker 1: Win Pale used to be able to you. Ain't the
Speaker 1: guy us have to sit there, your boyfriend think your
Speaker 1: poom poom barn and he he wished that it was exciting.
Speaker 1: Is Drake? You got party? Best box? All right? Goodbye?
Speaker 1: Mom didn't get to me. I didn't like that one
Speaker 1: I heard him to take this. We supposed to be
Speaker 1: quiet a little bit. I'm not gonna lie like that.
Speaker 1: I don't like that. Don't do like that. Next week,
Speaker 1: all right, we got more coming up next with a
Speaker 1: breakfast club. The breakfast club wanted everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy. We are the breakfast club. We got a
Speaker 1: special guest in the building. The first thing he said,
Speaker 1: why these chairs don't raise? The chairs so short and right,
Speaker 1: and every time somebody comes in and they tried to
Speaker 1: raise the chairs up. First thing I said, is well,
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart bought those chairs. He wants everybody to look
Speaker 1: short like him. Yeah, definitely. Uh, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know a better way to say, remember he bought
Speaker 1: these chairs. I didn't he did, I didn't. But now
Speaker 1: that now that I did, I'm gonna se if I
Speaker 1: can get you guys another set to actually saying I
Speaker 1: remember you came here one time and he was like,
Speaker 1: you know what I should have did? I should put
Speaker 1: my name on the back of these chair. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: doing that. I've sent another set. I sent another set
Speaker 1: and put my name on the back. But I make
Speaker 1: sure they raised. What's going on, guys, Kevin, ladies and gentlemen. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm here, man in the building. How are you? Brother?
Speaker 1: I can't complain, brother, drinking milk, getting tall, same thing
Speaker 1: I'll say every time. So much on the table, you
Speaker 1: so much Netflix, so much Audible, so much Chase Bank, Like, like,
Speaker 1: where do we start? We start with True Story. Yes,
Speaker 1: we need to start with True Story. Okay, dropping November
Speaker 1: twenty fourth. Uh. For those who do not know, True
Speaker 1: Story is my new series that is about to drop
Speaker 1: on Netflix. Excited about it? Drama, thriller. Uh, this is
Speaker 1: me in a way that you haven't seen me before.
Speaker 1: By the way, I have baby walked you to this point,
Speaker 1: the upside. That was my first step in the dramatic
Speaker 1: space and after that hit you with fatherhood that was
Speaker 1: a more drastic view with me and the world of drama.
Speaker 1: And then now now we're touching the world of drama
Speaker 1: and thrillers. So myself, Wesley Snipes, Billy Zane, theo Ross.
Speaker 1: I mean, the cast is amazing, so many, so many
Speaker 1: talented people. But um, this is the real deal. People
Speaker 1: are gonna be blown away by this. What's You're sorry about?
Speaker 1: What's it about? It's a show that's wrapped around loyalty,
Speaker 1: trust and uh. It raises the question of how far
Speaker 1: would you go to protect the things that you worked
Speaker 1: hard for? Right? Like, what is your limit as an individual?
Speaker 1: As a person, how far can you be pushed before
Speaker 1: you feel like you have to push back or take
Speaker 1: or take a stance of uncertainty right where you're you're
Speaker 1: making decisions that you that you didn't know that you
Speaker 1: were capable of making. Um, it's loosely based off of
Speaker 1: the template of my life, the backdrop, the comedian, the mogul. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's what the character is. But then it takes a
Speaker 1: shiit if into a darker world where you see that
Speaker 1: I'm not playing myself. Uh. The version of myself just
Speaker 1: to get you interested. And then after you see, oh god,
Speaker 1: it's not Kevin, it's some others. It takes a spend,
Speaker 1: but it's it's some dope. His story. These two brothers
Speaker 1: and just you know, a whirlwind of their relationship. You know,
Speaker 1: like when you got an older brother younger brother, there's
Speaker 1: a there's kind of a thing where an older brother
Speaker 1: is in control and you know he's really much in
Speaker 1: charge of that relationship. But then this thing happens when
Speaker 1: the younger brother surpass as an older brother in life
Speaker 1: and success. Uh, there's a narrative and there's a feeling
Speaker 1: that comes with that and that conflict sometimes, uh, sometimes
Speaker 1: put some real rocky water in that relationship. And in
Speaker 1: this case, that rocky water is dark. What made you
Speaker 1: do a drum or? Like? What what you wanted to
Speaker 1: challenge yourself? You think people only thought you were funny?
Speaker 1: Now not challenging myself And I'm talented. It's not about
Speaker 1: it's not about challenging me, man. I like because I
Speaker 1: was good, was really good, thank you? Was really with
Speaker 1: shades oning on some rock staring not one that time.
Speaker 1: I've always I've always had the glasses I always wear glasses. Okay,
Speaker 1: s I'm trying to make it seem like I'm changing.
Speaker 1: You are on the hood. I've been changed. You're never
Speaker 1: having a fun card to get up here. That's a
Speaker 1: little different. It's very Cashuh. You got on emerald, that's
Speaker 1: how you know, Cam getting on he Cam. He ain't
Speaker 1: got no diamond when these diamonds around them. You got
Speaker 1: an emerald on these things that these are signature changed.
Speaker 1: I've been wearing these favor the emerald on. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, what day have you seen me? There's different
Speaker 1: days you gefferent sales. Now, what what does that? What
Speaker 1: else do you have out of the Lucky Charms box?
Speaker 1: I know you probably got everything that's a diamonds, that's
Speaker 1: a riginal. I ain't talking about that. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: a real the emerald, the green clover, the purple heart. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I like the I like the stone,
Speaker 1: so the emerald, the rubies, the sapphires, the pink diamonds,
Speaker 1: all that stuff I like, just like different. But it's
Speaker 1: all like the signature heart with the Kane, I'm getting
Speaker 1: a different type of money. I don't think y'all realize
Speaker 1: that Kevin I know we're talking about the true story
Speaker 1: and everything else, but that evolution of Kevin Hart over
Speaker 1: the past decade has been incredible, from from growing up man,
Speaker 1: from No No, from stand up comic to the acting
Speaker 1: to now you can't You're just the mogul. I am
Speaker 1: very much in charge of my direction and my opportunity.
Speaker 1: I like the fact that I can control my narrative
Speaker 1: in the business and do the things that I want.
Speaker 1: So this, uh, this ecosystem that now exists underneath the
Speaker 1: brand of Heartbeat is one that produces television, film, you know, uh, radio, literature, animation,
Speaker 1: you know, whether it be comedy, drama, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It's all about what we feel is a great opportunity
Speaker 1: for us at this point, at this moment. So to
Speaker 1: his point where he said, why do you want to
Speaker 1: do drama? Why not? Why not going you know, develop
Speaker 1: something that's just different, is outside the box. I can
Speaker 1: still find excitement, and I don't want to get bored
Speaker 1: with the business. I don't want to get bored with entertainment. Um.
Speaker 1: I want to find excitement and showing up to work
Speaker 1: every day. So that comes with the within the creative
Speaker 1: I like being a part of that process. So uh,
Speaker 1: that's why I am Charlomagne. You might be right. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the last five interviews he did. He didn't
Speaker 1: have glasses. Two years ago, no glasses. Tiffany didn't have glasses.
Speaker 1: I took them off. Glasses way back to seeing wet glasses.
Speaker 1: Glasses that money I can pull up right now that
Speaker 1: you're wrong that I can go to two data back black.
Speaker 1: Why I had glasses on Tiffany's interview. I took them
Speaker 1: off because I got mad, So I took the glasses off. Okay,
Speaker 1: the one before that, when I had on the dark
Speaker 1: shades where I had on like Brown, I had glasses on.
Speaker 1: I took them off at a certain point when you
Speaker 1: guys get me hot, let's not just grab from all
Speaker 1: this money you're making. Because why here the next announcement,
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna hear, We're gonna hear Heartbeat Productions
Speaker 1: has partnered with somebody for a billion dollars, the way
Speaker 1: we saw with spring Hill and reach Wooden Spoons Company.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's gonna happen with Kevin Hart. What
Speaker 1: I feel like, there's none of your business. You wait
Speaker 1: till it's in the trade. Wait till you see that
Speaker 1: in the trades. I don't know you know what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. Uh look man, listen, listen, here's here's here's
Speaker 1: what I will tell you. There is a blueprint that's
Speaker 1: been given and that blueprint has been given by Oprah
Speaker 1: by Tyler by Hove shouts out to my brother Brian
Speaker 1: mav Over there spring Hill. They're doing amazing things, man.
Speaker 1: But the blueprint is about ownership. The blueprint is about
Speaker 1: figuring out ways to control a narrative based on ip
Speaker 1: IP ownership. Um, we're not in this business to be
Speaker 1: worked for hires forever. Um, you eventually want to be
Speaker 1: a partner. And what we're doing at our company and
Speaker 1: I say our because I don't have employees, I have
Speaker 1: partners my team. We've we've symboled an amazing foundation and
Speaker 1: within that, the goal and desire is to have tentacles,
Speaker 1: have branches, and these branches provide opportunities employment for so many.
Speaker 1: And you know, I love the fact that we are
Speaker 1: a black owned company that is all about equal opportunities.
Speaker 1: So when you look under my hood, you see men, women,
Speaker 1: you see everything. We are representation of what the business
Speaker 1: should look like and be that equality, that movement, that portfolio,
Speaker 1: it's one of opportunity and future success for the next
Speaker 1: version of stars. So those stars are entertainers, those stars
Speaker 1: are exacts, those stars are creatives, those stars are heads
Speaker 1: of you know what I mean? Like it goes all
Speaker 1: across the board. I've made mine, I've I've gotten to
Speaker 1: where I've gotten this star and not gonna get no brighter.
Speaker 1: It's about figuring out ways to help the next version.
Speaker 1: That's what Heartbeat is. That's what we're about. So you know,
Speaker 1: I can't answer that question. I don't know what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. Well, when it comes out to the trades,
Speaker 1: I'm going to say I told you so. Maybe you can't.
Speaker 1: Maybe you can't. I don't know. I don't know. We
Speaker 1: got more with Kevin when we come back. It's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody. Angela Yee Charlomagne, the
Speaker 1: guy we all the Breakfast Club was still kicking it
Speaker 1: with Kevin Hart. It's Kevin slow down now, because Kevin,
Speaker 1: you're super successful. You got three kids. I see you,
Speaker 1: I got four kids, four kids. You love hanging out
Speaker 1: with doing things with your kids. Do you slow down
Speaker 1: to be like you know what now? It's trying to
Speaker 1: be a far being slowdown on the work. So you
Speaker 1: know what, man, I'm definitely I'm trying to I think
Speaker 1: I do need to to go a little slower. Um.
Speaker 1: You know now that we're we're getting back to a
Speaker 1: place of old, We're getting back to life as we
Speaker 1: once knew it. You know there's can't you do that?
Speaker 1: Or you would like you have to, or you addict
Speaker 1: it to No, I'm I got a problem. But like
Speaker 1: I said, it's a it's about the foundation. It's about
Speaker 1: this thing. And you know, making sure the bricks are secure,
Speaker 1: making sure they can't move, and you know, you start
Speaker 1: to ask yourself different questions. I'm getting older, I'm forty two,
Speaker 1: So what am I doing it for? What is it?
Speaker 1: What is it about? I've gotten to a place where
Speaker 1: I opened up a door and that door had like
Speaker 1: thirty other doors. I just start peeking in those doors.
Speaker 1: So I know the different versions of success, and I
Speaker 1: just want to tap into all of them. If you
Speaker 1: look at the things that I've done, right, if you
Speaker 1: go comedy, dramedy, action, adventure, action comedy, comedy, drama, drama, filler, docuseries, documentary, hosting, animation, author,
Speaker 1: radio hosts, podcast hostsite. It's I'm tapping into every single
Speaker 1: outlet because what I realized that everybody should. You can
Speaker 1: do it all if you want to. There is no ceiling.
Speaker 1: So I'm having fun and discovering how much more you
Speaker 1: know the world of venture in VC stocks and real estate,
Speaker 1: all of it. Like, there's so much that you can
Speaker 1: do to occupy your time in your mind, and that's
Speaker 1: what I'm love with. So I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know about slowing down. I think removing myself from in
Speaker 1: front of the camera at some point that'll be the priority.
Speaker 1: But the world of what's going on behind will will
Speaker 1: probably be ten times as much as what it was
Speaker 1: when I was in front. You know, your conversations have
Speaker 1: always been so interesting to me because you've always been
Speaker 1: so self aware and to hear you talk now saying
Speaker 1: things like because I heard you on All the Smoke
Speaker 1: and you were saying things like you won't always be
Speaker 1: considered the funniest or be the hottest at the moment.
Speaker 1: What what? What about that realization? I mean, that's the reality.
Speaker 1: Everything that goes up eventually comes down. But when you
Speaker 1: come down, you know, you don't have to fall. You
Speaker 1: can come down and be better than you were when
Speaker 1: you were up if you manage correctly. It's not about
Speaker 1: being the best anymore. You realize that that mindset pits
Speaker 1: people against each other. And I can't say it enough. Man.
Speaker 1: You grow the up and when you evolve immature, the
Speaker 1: best thing that changes is just your mindset. My mindset
Speaker 1: is different. I operate differently. I'm not I'm not in
Speaker 1: the world of being bothered. I'm not in the world
Speaker 1: of care when it comes to other people's needs or
Speaker 1: want Are you going to do another season of u
Speaker 1: um we? I talked about it because the documentary was
Speaker 1: was dope, it was honest, But it has to be
Speaker 1: when there's there's stuff to follow, you know. I don't
Speaker 1: want to just to focus on my world of work
Speaker 1: and success. I don't feel like that's a that's a
Speaker 1: good layer. I think you want to show how how
Speaker 1: complex life is in general, and that nobody is nobody
Speaker 1: is free from both. My next one will be based
Speaker 1: on my company, the company's growth and the people within
Speaker 1: it and how they're managing success from the thing we built.
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to be the focus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: building dollar episode is gonna be crazy. I don't know
Speaker 1: what that's not. I didn't say that it's it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're doing in an atmospere. It's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I'm just looking at what I'm not. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying I'm not. I'm just looking around. I see
Speaker 1: what did I see what spring Hill did? I'm like,
Speaker 1: heartbeat is absolutely next. I saw a trade, I saw
Speaker 1: an article. It was like, you know, its hard to
Speaker 1: be getting suitors. People are snipping around. I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: read these things I read. I've all if you read it,
Speaker 1: then maybe you saw I don't mean I don't know
Speaker 1: what's going on. I don't know what to tell you here.
Speaker 1: Anything you regret about doing it on the documentary, regret
Speaker 1: absolutely not. The documents don't focus Up was dope because
Speaker 1: it showed how to find solution and problem right, And
Speaker 1: I think today everybody's focused on problem. Everybody's focused on
Speaker 1: the argument. How many people are focused on the solution
Speaker 1: and a conversation to stop the argument? You have? You
Speaker 1: have some big social media moments in the last couple
Speaker 1: of months. Don Cheto's age and me. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: fifty six years old. Damn. I'm sorry because it was
Speaker 1: a fought, it was a thought, and I blurted it
Speaker 1: out that if we could play it back right now,
Speaker 1: play back. These are two different damns. Lay back. And
Speaker 1: so there wasn't I said, I said, there was no
Speaker 1: like wow, I said, damn, No, you said the word damn.
Speaker 1: Oh amazing, real moment, But goodness, you can't fake that.
Speaker 1: You've heard it's hard like you watch that hundred one
Speaker 1: of my closest friends now a second. I saw it
Speaker 1: in his face. He was like, don Cheeto and I
Speaker 1: are extremely close. I agree, but you still heard the feelings.
Speaker 1: You heard your friends feelings. He thought, I knew. I
Speaker 1: didn't know you get I didn't know. Yeah, yeah, saw
Speaker 1: that out there like that. He was clean shaven, he
Speaker 1: was had a young love to him that day. He
Speaker 1: told me that said he got me. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: I know what you meant, but it just didn't come off,
Speaker 1: didn't come up. But how do you think I thought?
Speaker 1: He caught me off guard when you started explaining it afterwards,
Speaker 1: that's what made it even more funny. Said yeah, he said,
Speaker 1: he looked at me. I said, I didn't mean like that, Yes,
Speaker 1: she did not. It's like rewarding the take. You can't
Speaker 1: when you watch it. When you watch it, you'll see
Speaker 1: that that's not. That wasn't. How wid how many times
Speaker 1: did you laugh at it after you saw it back? Well,
Speaker 1: when we did, you don't realize it. But when people
Speaker 1: start cutting it up, you know the internet has got
Speaker 1: damn dangerous. They could do anything they want. Awkward was
Speaker 1: it because they look una comfortable? Awkward for me? I
Speaker 1: wasn't that old. Ain't for me? He didn't damn me,
Speaker 1: damn anything. It was awkward for don. We got more
Speaker 1: with Kevin Hart. When we come back. It's the Breakfast Club,
Speaker 1: Good Boarding the Morning, Everybody's cdj En v Angela, Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlobe and the guy we are the Breakfast Club was
Speaker 1: still kicking it with Kevin Hart. I also thought it
Speaker 1: was big that I don't I don't know the communist
Speaker 1: name apologize that he was tied up in something that
Speaker 1: was going on in your life, and you forgave him.
Speaker 1: You talked about it, and what made you say, You
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna be a bigger man, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna forgive this situation and all that I don't know
Speaker 1: which community you're talking about, but I can assume who
Speaker 1: I can't remember his name. I'm I'm very once again,
Speaker 1: it's just where I'm at. I don't have the time
Speaker 1: for bs. There's a lot of like who's funnier. Some
Speaker 1: of these comics take that and they they've run with
Speaker 1: those narratives and they they're getting golfed in that. I
Speaker 1: don't care. Got you there? What got you at that
Speaker 1: level of not caring and saying, you know what? It's?
Speaker 1: Google is net worth? Well, I've never been you know though.
Speaker 1: You gotta be honest, I've never been the I'm better
Speaker 1: than guy. I've never been the the I do feel
Speaker 1: like you've been down my outwork, you guy, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: absolutely I am older. But I don't like the crabs
Speaker 1: and the barrel mentality. I don't like the idea that
Speaker 1: can only be one and it only lives in our culture.
Speaker 1: You talking about that situation, But I know what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. Respect, I was saying, But the fact that
Speaker 1: you're forgiving and that you can look over things, it's
Speaker 1: just it's a step I haven't got to yet. But
Speaker 1: I love the fact that you're there. Why what's your problem. Honestly, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's your problem. Um revenge what I don't know. It
Speaker 1: feels made me feel good, maybe feel warm and cuddly,
Speaker 1: But what does it do after you get said revenge?
Speaker 1: So when somebody tries to attack you for no reason,
Speaker 1: it almost feels like why me, I don't do anything
Speaker 1: to nobody, you know, So it feels like, you know
Speaker 1: now I want you to die living but you But
Speaker 1: that's that's life. And as a day's time, any narrative
Speaker 1: can be attached to anybody, correct anything like it's it's
Speaker 1: honestly sad. How it's different? Would it affects you? But
Speaker 1: when it's something that could affect your family, it's But
Speaker 1: I'm telling it's different. But I'm saying, no matter what
Speaker 1: the reality, the reality of the world do we live
Speaker 1: in today, it's claim first, no proof, no real idea
Speaker 1: if said thing or said said verbal is true at all.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take this, you know, from from my brother Dave.
Speaker 1: I did an interview and the reporter asked me, He
Speaker 1: was like, you know, how do you feel about Dave
Speaker 1: coming to your defense? And I said, why do you
Speaker 1: feel like he's coming to my defense? Why can't you
Speaker 1: see that he's just my my friend. Especially when you
Speaker 1: know a person, if you really know certain things you
Speaker 1: see you like, I know that's not Here's where me
Speaker 1: and Dave just laugh. The conversation attached to Dave's name
Speaker 1: is attached to him as if people know him. Right.
Speaker 1: The reality about Dave Chappelle, this mother has everybody around him.
Speaker 1: Like when when I say everybody, I'm talking about everybody.
Speaker 1: So so like when the conversation attached to the LGBTQ
Speaker 1: plus community and it's attached with the negative narrative in
Speaker 1: association with Dave, you didn't really do your due diligence
Speaker 1: in looking at his world. That community is really around him,
Speaker 1: like his friends, Like I'm talking close friends are part
Speaker 1: of that community. I'm talking people that Dave has embraced
Speaker 1: and has loved for years that are like Dave. That's
Speaker 1: not true. So the narrative, once put on and once
Speaker 1: attached was spirals. That's the thing about today. So when
Speaker 1: you talk about revenge, you're in a never ending cycle
Speaker 1: of incomplete buddy like that revenge ain't coming, like the
Speaker 1: win that you're looking for, it don't exist. So if
Speaker 1: you're not mature and cool enough just to chuck up
Speaker 1: deuces to the thing that you can't control and give
Speaker 1: a goddamn salute. You're gonna be unhappy for a minute.
Speaker 1: It's bad to have that mindset, especially in today's time,
Speaker 1: as if you don't see it, and it's honestly not
Speaker 1: going to be corrected. Like you know, with the world
Speaker 1: of social media and the idea of what cancel and
Speaker 1: cancel culture has become the thing that it was and
Speaker 1: what was necessarily needed for the moments where you had
Speaker 1: to use it, it's now lost. So it's now this
Speaker 1: other thing that's so much you gotta go. People have
Speaker 1: lost sad of reality. We're destroying people's lives, like we're saying,
Speaker 1: it can happen to any and everybody, everybody. Do you
Speaker 1: understand like we're now in a place where people we
Speaker 1: are going you, We're gonna take everything from you now
Speaker 1: and walk away, and that is when you walk away.
Speaker 1: Do you understand that this person that just went through
Speaker 1: that thing we're saying like you now can't work ever again?
Speaker 1: What happened to the world of progression, understanding, apology, solution growth?
Speaker 1: When do we skip that? Yeah? Because humans are always
Speaker 1: failed purity tests, So I don't know why we well,
Speaker 1: we act like we're so perfect. Absolutely when did that happen? Though?
Speaker 1: When did we all check into the perfect box? You
Speaker 1: should deal with nuance, right. If you don't like a
Speaker 1: joke I said, you don't like something I said, say
Speaker 1: you don't like it, tell me where I did wrong,
Speaker 1: but don't label me as a whole thing because of
Speaker 1: one bad statement or one bad joke. I'll go further right.
Speaker 1: I'm aware of the changes that need to be made,
Speaker 1: especially with the conversation attached to respect. I think it's dope.
Speaker 1: I think it is time we make sure retreating each other,
Speaker 1: not only fairly, but with understanding and appreciation that your
Speaker 1: life may be filled with problems and obstacles that I'm
Speaker 1: not aware of because my life is not the same.
Speaker 1: Because of that, I need to understand that, I need
Speaker 1: to fall back. I need to respect that. In that
Speaker 1: same instance, we also all have a choice. You can
Speaker 1: support or not support. The thing that killed me the
Speaker 1: most is you know when you see all the conversation
Speaker 1: that was trying to be attached to Dave's special, Well,
Speaker 1: you got an option to go on Netflix, you got
Speaker 1: an option to search, click watch. I don't have to
Speaker 1: watch who I don't like. It's okay to not like
Speaker 1: or to not with. It's okay, oion if you like
Speaker 1: I don't like that, that joke isn't for me. It's okay.
Speaker 1: But there's now a thing of well, because I don't
Speaker 1: like it, y'all can and y'all shitt either. That's the
Speaker 1: part where it just gets difficult. And by the way, guys,
Speaker 1: we're not going to please everybody. But the only thing
Speaker 1: you can do is try your best to educate, try
Speaker 1: your best to speak on things in a positive way
Speaker 1: so that people take the positive side with it, may
Speaker 1: understand it. I can say I understand a lot more
Speaker 1: now because of some of the conversations I had my
Speaker 1: mindsets a lot better. I can say that just on
Speaker 1: behalf of my brother. The thing that stuff for me
Speaker 1: is that you don't know him. He's a good dude
Speaker 1: that loves hard. When you talk about Ohio, he has
Speaker 1: built a goddamned community economy in a place where he
Speaker 1: is from to make the place better for the people.
Speaker 1: The people in Ohio are all different, black, white members
Speaker 1: of the community. I'm talking. He put that on his back.
Speaker 1: He out there shaking hands. He's the mayor out there
Speaker 1: and he's doing it for the people. So when I
Speaker 1: see people speak on behalf of a man whose intentions
Speaker 1: are nothing but good and uplifting, it just makes you
Speaker 1: a while. That's where we are. And this is not
Speaker 1: to defend. I'm not defending. I'm not coming to Dave's aid.
Speaker 1: I'm speaking truth of me, just going you don't know
Speaker 1: the guy. That's it. Let's talk about a couple more
Speaker 1: things if you get out of here. I don't know
Speaker 1: if this is a joke or not, but the comedy
Speaker 1: rights itself. Are you are you really playing Arnold from
Speaker 1: one night Only on a different show Jimmy Kimmel live
Speaker 1: on stage, we're doing what you're talking about. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: thought that just looks I mean, it just looks funny
Speaker 1: on paper. It's just I said, Jimmy. Jimmy has been
Speaker 1: doing this thing where they create these old TV shows
Speaker 1: and they do it live. And he was like, what
Speaker 1: do you think about different strokes? And I was like,
Speaker 1: one of the funniest shows ever. He's like, what we created?
Speaker 1: And he told me the people that he was thinking
Speaker 1: about man And when Damon Wins was like, he wants
Speaker 1: to be Willis and you can be on so you know,
Speaker 1: you put your own take on it. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be nld from different strokes. I'm gonna grow to little
Speaker 1: throw out and everything. We got bold with Kevin about
Speaker 1: when we come back, it's the breakfast Morning. Everybody's DJ
Speaker 1: Envy Angela Ye, Charlobe, the guy will be out of
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Was still kicking it with Kevin hart sph company.
Speaker 1: We have an audible next year we start rolling out projects.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling about that venture? And do you
Speaker 1: think people understand what it is? Where? I think they will.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think when you when you say it,
Speaker 1: make sure you make people understand the initiative and reason
Speaker 1: behind it, right, Like I think when people now say
Speaker 1: your name, they speak of it in one tone. But
Speaker 1: once again, when you really know the person, it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, he's got a different drive and initiative. When
Speaker 1: you look at the books and you read the books, well,
Speaker 1: what is his real what's his real one? And you're
Speaker 1: a part of the problem or are you trying to
Speaker 1: be a part of the solution. The problem is the
Speaker 1: significant gap in our economy from black to white. Right.
Speaker 1: The solution is being a part of the attempt to
Speaker 1: close said gap, bring people closer, bring things to them.
Speaker 1: This entity that we created, well, we saw a gap
Speaker 1: in the space of audio literature, and in this space,
Speaker 1: our culture hasn't been embracing the world of knowledge that's
Speaker 1: available here. So in this entity, well, how can we
Speaker 1: deliver it in the way that can be creative enough
Speaker 1: where our culture can come over and grab onto things
Speaker 1: that they didn't know existed. Or we're going to create
Speaker 1: IP through audio. We can create experiences, we can create
Speaker 1: content and have it available. We can also bring in
Speaker 1: talent to take a hold of previous content that may
Speaker 1: or may not even be known about. So in this space,
Speaker 1: I think that our opportunity of successes is extremely high.
Speaker 1: And you know, for the projects that we've already signed
Speaker 1: on to do, the original IPS that we're creating, the
Speaker 1: things that have existed that we're going to amplify by
Speaker 1: attaching talent. I just think that the world of great
Speaker 1: is real. And you know, I got to also give
Speaker 1: Audible credit for knowing where there is a void and
Speaker 1: for saying we trusting you guys to create this entity
Speaker 1: and rather than us trying to just control, let's partner,
Speaker 1: you know. So for a company of that magnitude to
Speaker 1: say what We're going to give you, guys the money,
Speaker 1: Now run a machine ate the company that you said
Speaker 1: you could do. We're trusting in you to do that,
Speaker 1: and as your partner, how can we assist you. This
Speaker 1: is the world of solution. So when we're talking about
Speaker 1: the need for diversity inclusion, when we're talking about making
Speaker 1: sure that the black voices and that the black portfolio
Speaker 1: within business is given a shot, when you got companies
Speaker 1: like that that are on the proper side of the
Speaker 1: conversation by saying we understand and we want to help,
Speaker 1: that's a dope thing, you know, dude. I'm proud of you.
Speaker 1: I love the direction that you're going in, and as
Speaker 1: a partner, I'm bringing value to his idea. He had
Speaker 1: a dope idea. All right, I'm on your train, brother,
Speaker 1: How can I help amplify? I got this whole machine
Speaker 1: over here. And to his credit, he has a world
Speaker 1: of people that these he now is on the seat
Speaker 1: like Charlote, got a team. Man. It made me smile
Speaker 1: to get on conference calls and hear people speaking on
Speaker 1: his behalf. On his behalf with the vision that he
Speaker 1: has to help execute. So I think the world is
Speaker 1: going to definitely be shot, and I think the world
Speaker 1: of audio originals and IP is growing SBH show up
Speaker 1: black and handsome productions. I have two more questions. Shut up.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's the name. It's your problem problem.
Speaker 1: You gotta get rid of the same man. Bade rains
Speaker 1: is what we call it. Two more questions. At this
Speaker 1: point in your career, who do you get the most
Speaker 1: game from? I tell you who people don't give enough
Speaker 1: credit to. Tyler Perry's a machine. Yes, the business mind,
Speaker 1: the ability to really change the narrative in business and
Speaker 1: how deals are done and how they're made. The world
Speaker 1: of you can't do that doesn't exist for a man.
Speaker 1: It finds ways too. I love to just watch the
Speaker 1: way moves. Do you know a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: real quick, you know, a couple of years ago, Tyler
Speaker 1: said to me, nobody ever taps him up for information.
Speaker 1: It's only been two people, he said, you and uh, Tiffany,
Speaker 1: I think, said Tiffany. Tyler Perry is one of the
Speaker 1: smartest mothers on the planet. And he's not smart from
Speaker 1: a rocket scientist, brilliant. I have all the answers perspective.
Speaker 1: He's smart from the side of why can't we do that?
Speaker 1: Tyler Perry is an enterprise, and I don't think people
Speaker 1: really give enough credible credit is due in Atlanta. You
Speaker 1: know you got stages now that are owned by a
Speaker 1: black man. Right. The crazy part is who do you
Speaker 1: think partners with this black man to do projects? Now?
Speaker 1: The studios have to partner with Tyler Perry because they
Speaker 1: need to access his world of production Atlanta. The tax
Speaker 1: breaks are insane to have the mindset to say I'm
Speaker 1: gonna build here because people come here because of the
Speaker 1: tax breaks. So no matter what, they have to do
Speaker 1: business with me, whether you want to or not. Marvel
Speaker 1: was using Tyler Perry stages. Do you understand that I
Speaker 1: applaud him. I love him to death. Hove I'm different
Speaker 1: in the world of VC because I've watched how Hove
Speaker 1: has moved. That has no problem with sitting down, talking
Speaker 1: to me and sharing information. But more importantly, hold Jay Brown,
Speaker 1: the world of partnership when it comes to investing is
Speaker 1: not just about your money. It's about understanding how to
Speaker 1: make businesses grow. He graphs the concept shout out the
Speaker 1: nas too Now this is another one that was into
Speaker 1: it for years and was quiet about it. These guys
Speaker 1: grasps the concept of I can bring value to a company,
Speaker 1: and me bringing value to a company. If a company
Speaker 1: grows and they exit, oh my god, I'm a part
Speaker 1: of that win. So watching the way that my brothers
Speaker 1: move and I say brothers because that's what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's information. That's school. We're all in school. So my
Speaker 1: respect and admiration for the people that have given the
Speaker 1: blueprint and that don't hesitate to give the information. I
Speaker 1: applaud it. Oprah has given the blueprint for years. I
Speaker 1: don't think people really understand what all Oprah has going on,
Speaker 1: Like Oper's got a network, a network like Oprah's got
Speaker 1: a full functioning network that has a full day of
Speaker 1: content each day of the week that's not small, like
Speaker 1: you gotta network that means I can watch a show
Speaker 1: produced by and developed by underneath the brand of whether
Speaker 1: she's present, they're not there. This machine is controlling operated
Speaker 1: because of her vision and her want to create opportunities
Speaker 1: for you know, I know I said those are the
Speaker 1: black people and partners, But I got a shout out,
Speaker 1: Mike Rubin, when you talk about partners. Me and Mike Rubin.
Speaker 1: Right now, we're developing a fast food plant based restaurant
Speaker 1: Mike Rubin, where we're global, we're developing a real chain.
Speaker 1: And I talked to Ruben and Ruben said, keV, if
Speaker 1: you like it and you want to do it, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna partner with you. Here's what we're gonna do. Here's
Speaker 1: how we're going to access it. And before I knew,
Speaker 1: if Rubin had me in the room with all of
Speaker 1: the partners that he has, so you know, I get
Speaker 1: I get flowers. A matter of fact, I will show
Speaker 1: him because I think it's dope, just what we're on.
Speaker 1: And once again, just to show how relationships work, the
Speaker 1: audible side of it. Right when we get to the
Speaker 1: side of this thing living and this thing going well,
Speaker 1: accessing people in their ears, Hey, audible, maybe there's a
Speaker 1: world where you partner and you have how can we
Speaker 1: promote market like that's the world of relationships. Fincher VC,
Speaker 1: That's that's the space that I'm in. So remember I
Speaker 1: was talking about the star being briped me backing away,
Speaker 1: this is where my this is where my passion is.
Speaker 1: Now that's my last question. I know you want to
Speaker 1: be a billionaire, has the illuminate Illuminati approach. You're about
Speaker 1: sacrificing anyone to make it happen all the time. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: according to the end of that, I've been in the Illuminati,
Speaker 1: by the way, I've never I still don't know what
Speaker 1: it is, like, what is it? Is it? A is
Speaker 1: the club? What is it? You're closer than me, I
Speaker 1: don't know it? Do you know exactly? But if you
Speaker 1: want to sacrifice somebody, you can sacrifice your part of
Speaker 1: this is so they say you're supposed to sacrifice. What's
Speaker 1: they where they say have people eating babies? What was that?
Speaker 1: That was Pezza Gate? Right, Pizza Gate? Okay, I was
Speaker 1: in that too. I was eating baby. So what is that?
Speaker 1: Aluminating pizza get not the same thing. I don't think
Speaker 1: it might be the same elite circles Okay, yeah, but
Speaker 1: they eat babies, that's what they say. This clip right
Speaker 1: here is going probably they're gonna put this up to
Speaker 1: and say, see doing it right in our face with
Speaker 1: your hand and you got the hand that's the hand
Speaker 1: sign right there? Is what is this? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I was about the restaurant is gonna
Speaker 1: be a baby based restaurant, so you're gonna eat babies.
Speaker 1: What Kevin Hard is always a pleasure, always inspirational, always motivational.
Speaker 1: Always man, you guys do it right. Look, I want
Speaker 1: to say true story. It comes on Netflix. All right,
Speaker 1: Well it's Kevin Hard, It's mogul Kevin Hard. It's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning, Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never
Speaker 1: be the same. I've been saying it for weeks, charl
Speaker 1: I mean that you can find anything in everything on TikTok.
Speaker 1: I hear you. I saw this video with some random
Speaker 1: person with the Central Park and overheard a group of
Speaker 1: people talking smack about the girl named Marissa. So he
Speaker 1: posted it and this girl, Marissa, actually found out and
Speaker 1: reached out to TikTok. You have to see it. Let's
Speaker 1: don't be a dusty because right now you want some
Speaker 1: real It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if
Speaker 1: we ever feel I need to be a donky man,
Speaker 1: did she get it? Becomes Donkey of the Day the
Speaker 1: practice Club bitches. Yes, Donkey to Day goes to the Friest.
Speaker 1: That clinic, Okay, to Friest. That clinic is a hospital
Speaker 1: in Austria. And listen, let's be clear, nobody likes going
Speaker 1: to the hospital. There's not a soul alive who wants
Speaker 1: to be in the hospital. If you're in the hospital
Speaker 1: for anything other than having a baby, that means something
Speaker 1: is wrong. Okay, we would all rather remain healthy, not
Speaker 1: have to have surgeries, etc. But that's just not reality.
Speaker 1: The reality is we all have elements, we have medical conditions,
Speaker 1: just like this eighty two year old man in Austria did. Okay, see,
Speaker 1: there was an eighty two year old patient suffering from
Speaker 1: many illnesses, some of which have affected his legs, and
Speaker 1: those medical conditions affected his legs. In fact, whatever was
Speaker 1: happening with one of his legs caused him to have
Speaker 1: to get one of his legs amputated, just like Big
Speaker 1: Mom in the movie Soul Food. Okay, that should be
Speaker 1: a pretty cut and dry procedure. Correct sidebar speaking of
Speaker 1: dry as in dry age meat. I've always wondered what
Speaker 1: do they do with body parts after they do these amputations.
Speaker 1: You can't just throw a limit in a trash, can
Speaker 1: can't you? In my mind, they're selling this human flesh
Speaker 1: is food Somewhere somebody in the world right now, dining
Speaker 1: on from eighty two year old dry age human flesh. Okay,
Speaker 1: who needs to age beef when you can just eat
Speaker 1: an old human. If these body parts aren't being eaten,
Speaker 1: please tell me what's happening with them, because inquiring minds
Speaker 1: meaning me, would like to know. Now. As I told you,
Speaker 1: this eighty two year old suffered from a bunch of
Speaker 1: medical conditions, so doctors had to amputate his left leg.
Speaker 1: But in life, you must learn to measure twice, so
Speaker 1: you only have to cut once, literally, especially if a
Speaker 1: surgery is involved. See, this guy had to get his
Speaker 1: left leg amputated. We all know where our left is correct,
Speaker 1: that's where Beyonce told us to go, and you know
Speaker 1: where the right is right, that's where conservatives are. So
Speaker 1: he needed his left leg amputated. But an error occurred
Speaker 1: see the hospital work and mistakenly put a preoperative mark
Speaker 1: on the wrong leg. So doctors were supposed to amputate
Speaker 1: the left leg above the knee and ended up cutting
Speaker 1: off the right leg above the knee. The right leg
Speaker 1: was the wrong leg, Okay, all right. The right leg
Speaker 1: instead of the left leg, was amputated above the knee.
Speaker 1: This is not my bad situation. Oh my goodness. I
Speaker 1: came here to get my left leg removed because I
Speaker 1: had a medical condition and end up getting the right
Speaker 1: leg removed, only to still have to come back and
Speaker 1: get the correct one amputated. Oh new friestat clinic. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know y'all getting sued. Y'all don't have a leg
Speaker 1: to stand on in this situation. They are wrong and
Speaker 1: have admitted such a a statement. A disastrous combination of
Speaker 1: circumstances led to the patient's right leg being amputated instead
Speaker 1: of his left. That is an emission of guilt. I mean, damn,
Speaker 1: I'm eighty two. I can do one leg for the
Speaker 1: rest of my life. I mean, damn, at that age,
Speaker 1: I got one foot in the grave anyway, But now
Speaker 1: I have nothing. This is sad. Okay. I can't stand
Speaker 1: human era that ruins someone's else's life. Okay, It's really
Speaker 1: hard to just stand by and watch something like this happened.
Speaker 1: I just don't know what to do. All I know
Speaker 1: is we can't stand for this, and neither can that
Speaker 1: eighty two year old man or his family. The clinics
Speaker 1: medical director, Norbert First said, we have to find out
Speaker 1: how this failure, this mistake could happen. I would like
Speaker 1: to apologize publicly here well Norbert. Okay, from where I stand,
Speaker 1: the clinic should be reviewing its stand dirts. Okay, poor guy,
Speaker 1: you don't know what he wanted to do with the
Speaker 1: rest of his life. What if he wanted to try
Speaker 1: stand up comedy? Huh? Now what when things like this happen?
Speaker 1: The hospital should be financially responsible to the family, but
Speaker 1: the next few generations okay, free medical bills covered for
Speaker 1: all the family. The clinic does not have a leg
Speaker 1: up in this situation at all. They are wrong, period
Speaker 1: and they need to be some stand up people and
Speaker 1: do the right thing by this eighty two year old
Speaker 1: man and his family. Please let me give the Friestad
Speaker 1: Clinic in Austria the biggest he haw, he haw, he haw,
Speaker 1: you stupid mother? Are you dumb? Do they have enough
Speaker 1: money to pay this family? No? No legs. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you it saying costing arm in the leg, but there's
Speaker 1: no really no, there's no price for a real leg
Speaker 1: Come on man, all right, well, thank you for that
Speaker 1: donkey of the day. All right, we got more coming
Speaker 1: up next with a breakfast club. The Breakfast Club morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in
Speaker 1: the building, the Queen, the icon, the legend, and we're
Speaker 1: celebrating her today. That's right. Flowers, ladies and gentlemen, Mary J.
Speaker 1: Block Flowers, by the way, we just balloons and your crown.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yes, yes, So my Life documentary. What made
Speaker 1: you say I wanted time to do it now? Well?
Speaker 1: I did it like two years ago. I was on
Speaker 1: the Royalty Tour and it was the twenty fifth anniversary
Speaker 1: of the My Life album and everybody was celebrating it,
Speaker 1: and I felt like, you know, it was time to
Speaker 1: do it then, because it was the twenty fifth and
Speaker 1: I never did it, and everybody was like you should
Speaker 1: do it, you know, and I said, this is the
Speaker 1: right time because I can gather up all the testimonies
Speaker 1: and gather up all the love and the energy and
Speaker 1: shoot the documentary. We did it in like two years,
Speaker 1: so this is just it was just time. Telemann and
Speaker 1: I said earlier today that we cried watching it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I cried. I cried like three times, like three times,
Speaker 1: and I was like I was I was watching it
Speaker 1: for you. I could tell it was emotional, and I
Speaker 1: was wondering, like, you know, reliving the making of the
Speaker 1: album to stir up more happiness or trauma. I look
Speaker 1: at this as like the other side, Like we're on
Speaker 1: the other side of it now, So we're not crying
Speaker 1: just because we were visiting this and we're sad about it.
Speaker 1: We were visiting and we're sad because we had to
Speaker 1: see it, but we're also crying because we're happy that
Speaker 1: were on the other side. We got out on the
Speaker 1: other side. But you know, it was painful having to
Speaker 1: go back and see all that stuff, see Andre too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, but it's but it's it's it's okay now
Speaker 1: because I can. I can do that because I'm strong
Speaker 1: enough to do that. Now. Well, you happy Andre was there.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you're happy, But isn't it a
Speaker 1: blessing that Andrea was dead to talk and to share
Speaker 1: his experiences and everything. Yeah, I was so happy that
Speaker 1: we got a chance to to get him, because nobody
Speaker 1: knew that he wasn't going to be here right, So
Speaker 1: that was Yeah, to see him in the documentary made
Speaker 1: me cry. And you said you didn't know that you
Speaker 1: were you back then. And I think so many women,
Speaker 1: so many black women, go through that when they're younger,
Speaker 1: when you're when you look back and you're like, I
Speaker 1: didn't know how specialized was. Your fans knew, and they
Speaker 1: knew how much you touched them, and you help people
Speaker 1: get through so many difficult times, but you didn't know
Speaker 1: the power that you had, not at all, not even
Speaker 1: a little bit. That's why I ran myself through so
Speaker 1: many things I went. I went through drugs and alcohol
Speaker 1: and just treating myself so bad because I didn't know
Speaker 1: I was worthy of anything. I didn't know I was
Speaker 1: this person that I can truly say I deserve everything now,
Speaker 1: you know, because I give so much in my life,
Speaker 1: and I worked so hard on myself, you know, not
Speaker 1: anybody else on me mentally, spiritually, physically. So I didn't
Speaker 1: know I had this power, and I didn't know. I
Speaker 1: didn't know. I just didn't know, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And when you don't know who you are, you can't
Speaker 1: treat yourself well. You can't you know, good to anybody else,
Speaker 1: you know. So now I feel like I earned the
Speaker 1: right to say I'm good for something, I'm good to
Speaker 1: someone and I'm good for everything because I earned it
Speaker 1: and I'm still earning it because it's not over. I
Speaker 1: cried watching you um talk to your younger self and
Speaker 1: when you was watching the video, like, at what point
Speaker 1: did you know you're you're inner child needed healing. It
Speaker 1: was a it was a years and years of finding out.
Speaker 1: I think twenty sixteen was my like, real, you know what, Mary,
Speaker 1: you have to really gather all of you up, the
Speaker 1: young you, to confuse you, the everything you just and
Speaker 1: just love all of you. I can't say it came
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety four and nineteen ninety six on two.
Speaker 1: It just it was a process of you gotta love you, baby,
Speaker 1: you older you, confuse you, great, you, clumsy you, whatever
Speaker 1: it is you are, alcoholic you, whatever it is, you
Speaker 1: have to love you. And the child was suffering thinking
Speaker 1: everything was her fault and that's the that's the one
Speaker 1: that was making me feel ashamed. So I had to,
Speaker 1: you know, as an adult with all his confidence, you
Speaker 1: know that I'm developing. That's the one that I embraced
Speaker 1: the most because she got hurt the most. When did
Speaker 1: you realize that you needed to change? Like, what was
Speaker 1: the knock on the door, the thing that says, no,
Speaker 1: I need to figure this out. Now. What in twenty
Speaker 1: and sixteen got you to that point, Well, twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: was terrible. You know, we all we all saw it
Speaker 1: go down in the world. What happened When I got
Speaker 1: out of that terrible situation, I was like, I'm never
Speaker 1: gonna allow myself to hurt like that again, or anybody
Speaker 1: to hurt me like that again. I don't deserve that,
Speaker 1: and I don't deserve to treat myself like that. So
Speaker 1: I think it was during a normal Drama album when
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm tired of feeling like this. It
Speaker 1: was an ongoing process of healing, getting getting better, getting stronger,
Speaker 1: But the actual day, I don't know the day, but um,
Speaker 1: the time was during the normal Drama album because when
Speaker 1: I said I'm tired, I'm tired of feeling like this,
Speaker 1: I'm tired of feeling like I hate myself. I'm tired
Speaker 1: of feeling I want to kill myself. I'm tired. So
Speaker 1: it was a process of just still doing the same thing,
Speaker 1: but trying to be stronger, trying to be happy, trying
Speaker 1: to find some joy somewhere somehow, and were soldiers and
Speaker 1: we're strong and we're from the hood, and nothing embarrassed
Speaker 1: is us easy, So it's like what else you got?
Speaker 1: But really test me even seeing Papa us are talking
Speaker 1: about how both of you were going through so much
Speaker 1: during that time, just a lot of heartache, and you
Speaker 1: guys wear kids like we forget that when we look
Speaker 1: back at it. You were so young when you put
Speaker 1: that album out, going through so many different things. So
Speaker 1: you guys are leaning on each other a lot during
Speaker 1: that time. What were those conversations like with Puff while
Speaker 1: you were doing the album? I mean about his pain,
Speaker 1: you know, what he was going through. He never really
Speaker 1: got into detail with me about it, but I knew
Speaker 1: because I know, I know him and I knew him,
Speaker 1: and I knew what he was dealing with. What he
Speaker 1: was just, you know, like any man, didn't want to
Speaker 1: discuss it with his little sister. Me. On the other hand,
Speaker 1: I was, you know, dying in public, so everybody knew
Speaker 1: what I was dealing with. But I didn't want to
Speaker 1: really tell him what I was dealing with because I
Speaker 1: didn't want him to kill somebody. So I just but
Speaker 1: he knew though, he knew, and so you know, he said,
Speaker 1: just put it in the records, just put just so. Man,
Speaker 1: when I've seen Casey do that interview where he I
Speaker 1: was like for the international interview, Yes, and then they
Speaker 1: asked you the question. I mean, I have to be
Speaker 1: the worst, like honestly like disgusting because as women look
Speaker 1: at it like that's Mary, like show some respect, damn
Speaker 1: Jay blithe But like you said, at that time, you
Speaker 1: didn't even know exactly it was embarrassing. But look, I
Speaker 1: was treating myself, you know. I mean I can't. I'm
Speaker 1: not taking a whole blame, but I had to take
Speaker 1: responsibility for me. This is what was lightening the lol,
Speaker 1: you know, not pointing the finger. You did it. You did,
Speaker 1: a lot of people did it. But I gotta fix it, period.
Speaker 1: And you talk about forgiveness too on there. So what
Speaker 1: is the process of forgiveness like for you when it
Speaker 1: kind of sell all the things that you've been through.
Speaker 1: Like you said, you can't take all the responsibility. You
Speaker 1: just got to release people. Just release them, and that's it.
Speaker 1: I can't be responsible for what you did, and I
Speaker 1: can't keep pointing my finger at you for what you did.
Speaker 1: All right, you did it. I don't never have to
Speaker 1: see you again. I don't never have to deal with
Speaker 1: you again, but I do have to deal with me
Speaker 1: every single day, and I'm not going to carry the
Speaker 1: poison of unforgiveness in my heart. You don't even know
Speaker 1: that I'm feeling this, feeling like this all my life.
Speaker 1: So I don't want to be stuck and dying every day.
Speaker 1: You know, every time you get stuck in um unforgiveness
Speaker 1: and you just get stuck, it's like you dying every day.
Speaker 1: You're losing yourself again. It's like I want to grow,
Speaker 1: I want to I want more. So you do forgive everybody,
Speaker 1: but you just don't want to see it. You just
Speaker 1: dont want to be like, Yeah, forgiveness does not necessarily
Speaker 1: mean reconciliation. I need to reconcile. All you just need
Speaker 1: to know is that I forgive you, and please don't
Speaker 1: come over here, because every day I have to remember
Speaker 1: that I forgive you, Like that's The's a process. We
Speaker 1: have to remember that we forgave a person because when
Speaker 1: you see him, you got to remember what made you
Speaker 1: forgive them. Yes, I'm not to forgive face. What allowed
Speaker 1: you to say that, all those people that hurt you
Speaker 1: that you said, you know, what you hurt me. You
Speaker 1: might not even apologize, but I forgive you what what
Speaker 1: allowed you to do that? Because I'm not I can't.
Speaker 1: I'm not there yet. I don't have any time to
Speaker 1: race on you, you know, me being mad at you,
Speaker 1: like I just I don't care telling with success, that's right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just gotta I gotta keep pushing, I gotta keep moving,
Speaker 1: and if you don't, you're gonna, you know, you're just
Speaker 1: gonna be stuck. And being stuck is the worst thing
Speaker 1: that can happen to you, Just stuck and you just
Speaker 1: so many people are just stuck in nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to be stuck in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety I don't want to be stuck in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: I want to be already in twenty twenty one thinking
Speaker 1: about the next thing. But I can't move if I'm
Speaker 1: still in nineteen ninety four, pissed at you, got you
Speaker 1: all pissed yourself. That's why, that's why I love that
Speaker 1: seeing where you just talking to your younger self, because
Speaker 1: I was sitting there, like, how do you forgive your
Speaker 1: younger self? How do you give your younger self that grace?
Speaker 1: And you know, and you talk to her with so
Speaker 1: much care because it's you, it's your child. When I
Speaker 1: look at him, like, gosh, she hurts so much. She's
Speaker 1: been through hell. I love her. I gotta And I
Speaker 1: look at the little girl pictures she's been through hell.
Speaker 1: I gotta. I gotta take care of her because she
Speaker 1: is me and if I don't take care of her,
Speaker 1: she can get me hurt. Right when we come back,
Speaker 1: we got more with Mary J. Blige. Let's get into
Speaker 1: a Mary Mini mixed man, Mary Saah, it's the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning morning, everybody in Steve j Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking
Speaker 1: with Mary J. Blige. And what the different was when
Speaker 1: you said you talked about all the things that you
Speaker 1: dealt with as a child, and they were all horrible
Speaker 1: and nasty. I wouldn't want that for anybody. But then
Speaker 1: when you said this more that I can't even talk about,
Speaker 1: I was like, what's the more, because I mean, you
Speaker 1: said some things that are so horrible, Like I'm like,
Speaker 1: you were dealing with a lot, and the fact that
Speaker 1: you were able to climb out of it. Is a blessing.
Speaker 1: And who was there besides your sister to help you
Speaker 1: crawl out of those situations? It was just me, my
Speaker 1: mom and my sister, two women living in the hood,
Speaker 1: no male figure. I mean, it was hell just getting
Speaker 1: to the store, my mother going to work, leaving us
Speaker 1: with people she thinks she can trust. And that's life,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And my mother's a older
Speaker 1: and we just watched her and mimicked her. You know,
Speaker 1: during that interview when you were watching your younger self,
Speaker 1: you said that you used to be mean, right, so
Speaker 1: I'm like, never smile and you didn't like the interviewer.
Speaker 1: You said, you must not have liked the interviewer that
Speaker 1: was doing it. I didn't, okay, So what would make
Speaker 1: you like not like somebody? And was that a reputation
Speaker 1: because you yourself said you mean, was it a reputation
Speaker 1: you had because I haven't heard Mary with me, but
Speaker 1: you were going through a lot, and sometimes people don't
Speaker 1: understand that. And I feel like even today when you
Speaker 1: interview these celebrities, you don't people think it's a perfect life,
Speaker 1: but they also don't understand what goes on behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: And so was that something that hindered you in any way.
Speaker 1: Was it a reputation. It absolutely hindered me. And I
Speaker 1: had a reputation for being a bit and being difficult
Speaker 1: and not making it to interviews one time, not making
Speaker 1: it to shows. And I was doing all of that.
Speaker 1: I was bad. My thing was I didn't trust anybody,
Speaker 1: and it took me a long time to trust. I
Speaker 1: still don't really trust people that much. But then I
Speaker 1: was just on guard, like straight out of the hood,
Speaker 1: like please, just don't say nothing stupid. And it seemed
Speaker 1: like everyone that interviewed me was saying something stupid and
Speaker 1: asking the same stupid questions over and over again. But
Speaker 1: what I realized when I got older is that that's
Speaker 1: their job. And I realized that I have to learn
Speaker 1: how to respect people's job, even if they're being stupid.
Speaker 1: Did you ever rectify that, like go back and talk
Speaker 1: to people later? And I did. I remember I had
Speaker 1: to go to the record label and just apologize to
Speaker 1: so many people. And when I apologize to all those people,
Speaker 1: they were like like they were holding their hearts, like
Speaker 1: like they was like, thank you so much. And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, and I must have been
Speaker 1: a monster. And I don't. I don't even remember all
Speaker 1: the stuff I did, And they were coming up to
Speaker 1: me and telling me that I was cursing them out,
Speaker 1: and you know, I remember some of it, but some
Speaker 1: people I was like, I don't even remember your face.
Speaker 1: I was just going off. That's because I didn't trust
Speaker 1: anybody and I was on guard. How difficult was it
Speaker 1: because you know, we were all in high school and
Speaker 1: we don't see how hard it took. We just knew
Speaker 1: Mary Jim Blas signed and all of a sudden, reminisces
Speaker 1: was cool and in real love out the window. How
Speaker 1: long did it take for you to get going? Was
Speaker 1: it a long drive or was it just first single
Speaker 1: in the pop well? The first thing I did was
Speaker 1: with jeff Red m jeff Red was already signed, and
Speaker 1: I went I started singing background with him on some
Speaker 1: of his out on his records, and then I did
Speaker 1: the Apolo with him. If you look at the Apollo,
Speaker 1: that's me in the background singing with jeff Red. And
Speaker 1: that was my one of my moments. But I had
Speaker 1: to go back to slow mom after that, and after
Speaker 1: the Father MC video, I had to I still had
Speaker 1: to go home. It was terrible. Star in the hood though,
Speaker 1: when you came home listen to my friends that hated me.
Speaker 1: I was, I was. I had to fight, My family
Speaker 1: had to fight. We had to It was rough, and
Speaker 1: I didn't realize what was Now did I go back
Speaker 1: and think about him like, wow, we was really in
Speaker 1: the hood still while the records was charting, Wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: I wondered what was going through your mind? Because you know,
Speaker 1: you performed Anita Baker for Andre, and then you got
Speaker 1: the opportunity to perform with Anita Baker. What was going
Speaker 1: through your mind in that moment when you're performing with
Speaker 1: what was? What was? What was that Mary telling Little Mary?
Speaker 1: I was just so happy that that Anita Baker existed
Speaker 1: because if it wasn't for Anita Baker, I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: sitting here if it wasn't for that tape that I
Speaker 1: made accord up in the rapture Andre when it came
Speaker 1: to my house. So when I was singing with her
Speaker 1: on stage, and I was about to cry, like cryby
Speaker 1: five minutes because that woman was my angel. But who
Speaker 1: knew that one of my favorite songs was want to
Speaker 1: get me the deal that I got? That's why you
Speaker 1: kept telling to take it away because you about to
Speaker 1: cry every time. And that's why she was like gonna
Speaker 1: cry because I was being mass Do you realize how
Speaker 1: big you are for the culture, what you did for
Speaker 1: the culture? Do you step back and be like damn
Speaker 1: like because Mary j B know who she is? And
Speaker 1: yet do you know who you are? Now? I do now.
Speaker 1: It took me a while. It took me. Twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: was the day I woke up and said, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm it. I earned it, Like I went through hell
Speaker 1: to hell to hell to hell to hell to hell
Speaker 1: to hell in twenty sixteen was like enough of this
Speaker 1: hell man. So it took me a minute to learn
Speaker 1: how to receive. But I'm receiving it now since since
Speaker 1: you you know, not realize who you are in the
Speaker 1: impact you have on people, that don't make you more
Speaker 1: intentional about about your words. Yes, and it makes me
Speaker 1: know that it's a responsibility and I have to take
Speaker 1: all this with humility. I can't just take it like
Speaker 1: how to take it with thank you and grace. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much. But you know, when it's goal time,
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm monstuited, you know, from performing, you know,
Speaker 1: to whatever I do, I give one hundred percent. I
Speaker 1: can't think about what someone's thinking about me or what
Speaker 1: someone's not thinking about me. I gotta just go. Is
Speaker 1: there ever a time where Mary would do a versus?
Speaker 1: Because we talk about unbeatable artists right in my opinion,
Speaker 1: there was just a rumor about Tony Braxton and they
Speaker 1: had to clear that up. What you doneatable? I don't
Speaker 1: know what the verses would do for me. I like,
Speaker 1: I'm because I don't know what verses can do for
Speaker 1: Mary j Plies right now. But um, right now, it's
Speaker 1: not something that's on the top of my list. It
Speaker 1: got to be extended one hundred songs versus But because
Speaker 1: you got too many songs, like, I don't even know,
Speaker 1: how could you narrow it down to twenty? Couldn't? I
Speaker 1: say it all the time, it's not even close. Now
Speaker 1: you dedicated to doctor mister Andre Horrell, who you called dad.
Speaker 1: At what point did he become that father figure in
Speaker 1: your life? When um, I was in the music industry
Speaker 1: alone with no father figure, and he was there a lot,
Speaker 1: like he was there to talk me out of my foolishness.
Speaker 1: Why are you doing this? Why are you doing drugs?
Speaker 1: Why are you doing alcohol? Like like I would hide
Speaker 1: from him because I didn't want want him to see me,
Speaker 1: you know, in that condition, because I knew he had
Speaker 1: something to say, and he'd just be giving me that
Speaker 1: look like like a father, like I don't like this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I was hide and I was hiding all the
Speaker 1: stuff I was doing from puff. He didn't really know.
Speaker 1: Could you ever love again? Like being love again with somebody?
Speaker 1: Would you ever have that trust for somebody again? Or no?
Speaker 1: Love is beautiful for the moment, you know, I would
Speaker 1: never reject love, but marriage is something that I would
Speaker 1: reject right now. I can also tell you know about
Speaker 1: watching the doc. You have been doing a lot of
Speaker 1: healing work? Do you do? You must shaying what you've
Speaker 1: been doing, just some self help books, prayer, looking at
Speaker 1: myself real good, always checking myself, like if something is
Speaker 1: bothering me about someone, why is something about you bothering me?
Speaker 1: Just you know, I have friends and people that are
Speaker 1: into self you know, healing to that of teachers and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So I take information that makes sense
Speaker 1: to me from anywhere where I can get it. You know,
Speaker 1: like if you have a good word, I take a
Speaker 1: good word. You got a word, I'll take a word
Speaker 1: from you, because prayer just reveals to you you you know,
Speaker 1: and sometimes the worst thing to look at is you.
Speaker 1: But I'd rather see me acting ugly or see need
Speaker 1: needing whatever kind of help I need so I can
Speaker 1: know how to fix it. And that's really it. It's no,
Speaker 1: it's no like, oh, you know, I visited you know,
Speaker 1: all the shrinks in the world with nothing, nothing's wrong,
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that at all, you know. But I
Speaker 1: think the best shrink is us. Like we just need
Speaker 1: to be able to look at ourselves and and and
Speaker 1: say it's okay on you by going to therapy. Though no,
Speaker 1: like we don't. We don't badge each other with stuff
Speaker 1: like that. It's like when you're ready, I feel like
Speaker 1: that's a Capricorn thing too. Yeah, we don't get in
Speaker 1: a way. We're like, look like we love it all right,
Speaker 1: you're safe, call me what something going wrong now, you know,
Speaker 1: But we don't like you need to you need because
Speaker 1: we don't want nobody you need to on us. We're
Speaker 1: not just mental like they don't move. We got with
Speaker 1: Mary J. Blige. When we come back, it's to breakfast club,
Speaker 1: Good morning, the breakfast clubs. We're still kicking with Mary
Speaker 1: jade Ye. Now, what about your instincts. You talk a
Speaker 1: lot about how you have really great instincts where there
Speaker 1: are times that you feel like you should have followed
Speaker 1: your instincts and you didn't and you disregarded it every day,
Speaker 1: every day, damn every day from from nineteen ninety four
Speaker 1: to for a long time. Yeah, when I didn't when
Speaker 1: I don't listen to my gut on my instincts, disaster,
Speaker 1: I mean like big disasters, Like I've had some big
Speaker 1: disasters that I didn't follow. Mine was the moment when
Speaker 1: you say, okay, God, I finally hear you twenty sixteen, Yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: What got you into, you know, saying you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit down and do a serious like you know,
Speaker 1: we've seen you in movies before and usually that might
Speaker 1: be a short stand and then you can go back
Speaker 1: on the road and you do what you do. But
Speaker 1: now like you have to stay in one space, you
Speaker 1: have to film, like you know, last night, you're film
Speaker 1: into midnight. Like, what made you say I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: this time? Character? I mean, I'm a power fan, been
Speaker 1: a power fan, So that's why I'm on the show.
Speaker 1: Right now. Um, this character is so much fun and
Speaker 1: it's very cathartic, Like I get to just blow people
Speaker 1: away that I always want to blow away in my
Speaker 1: mind and then forget about it when I came home
Speaker 1: and I get curased. I get to do all types
Speaker 1: of just crazy stuff. You know. So the art is
Speaker 1: what makes you just say, you know, I'm gonna stay
Speaker 1: up and I'm and I'm gonna do my job. Wait,
Speaker 1: when you're acting, your picture ain't blowing away somebody else
Speaker 1: in real life? Well whatever way, well method acting, you
Speaker 1: gotta do some dark places. So whatever you have to
Speaker 1: be a real place. If you got a real place,
Speaker 1: whether it belonged to you with somebody else, visit that
Speaker 1: place and make the character real. I go back and
Speaker 1: visit horrible things that have happened in my life and wow,
Speaker 1: and I just do you have time for yourself though,
Speaker 1: because it seems like that character's gonna continue to go.
Speaker 1: That character's not going anywhere. It seems like it's getting
Speaker 1: spinoffs and all type of stuff. Do you have time
Speaker 1: for you know what? Married time? Yeah? I take that
Speaker 1: married time. You know, I'd be exhausted, but I get
Speaker 1: the time I need. What did you learn about yourself
Speaker 1: after after completing my life documentary, man that I'm a
Speaker 1: really strong individual. Absolutely, yeah, and it's gracious. I mean
Speaker 1: that that documentary you forgetting. I don't want to forget,
Speaker 1: but you forget the influence when you start seeing the
Speaker 1: young girls and saying they look up to you and
Speaker 1: they respect you. They've been through the things that you've
Speaker 1: been through, And how did that make you feel when
Speaker 1: you see because it was young girls that their mama
Speaker 1: had to be playing your music? And how did that
Speaker 1: make you feel beautiful? Because then I didn't know what
Speaker 1: anybody cared like. I didn't know Alicia keys Kid, I
Speaker 1: didn't know nobody getting you know what, I didn't know
Speaker 1: nobody cared to see. I didn't know that then whoever
Speaker 1: was out what was you know was doing and trying
Speaker 1: to be like Mary J. Blige, I was like it
Speaker 1: didn't matter because I didn't matter. I just you understand
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It was just in your life and
Speaker 1: not understanding what you meant to other people because you
Speaker 1: were just trying to survive, like you said exactly, and
Speaker 1: make it through and do your job and work and
Speaker 1: not even considering like these people are coming up because
Speaker 1: sometimes people will be coming up to you and it
Speaker 1: didn't even look like you comprehended, like how exciting it was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I didn't know I deserved any of it. I
Speaker 1: didn't know I was supposed to be praised. I didn't
Speaker 1: know I was supposed to be loved. So I didn't
Speaker 1: know anybody even cared. And you were demo yourself down,
Speaker 1: you said in your own relationship because you didn't want
Speaker 1: to shine too, right, That's how you know. It's something
Speaker 1: I just I didn't want, you know, just like in
Speaker 1: the hood, I just didn't want people messing with me.
Speaker 1: You know, you get too happy, or you get too
Speaker 1: brave or too bragged, doocious you gotta fight somebody or
Speaker 1: you gotta you know, this guy might start getting insecure
Speaker 1: because you think you beautiful. And so that s those
Speaker 1: are the things I had to lay down, like excuse
Speaker 1: my friend that I need to live, I need to breathe,
Speaker 1: I gotta take my time in my space for me.
Speaker 1: The hell with y'all. I suffered too much for y'all,
Speaker 1: So there's no more that. So even back in the
Speaker 1: day when when guys like Jay would say I did
Speaker 1: songs with Mary, Jay Blige money like he was saying
Speaker 1: that out of excitement. That didn't do nothing for you
Speaker 1: one moment. Yeah, yeah for a second, and then I'll
Speaker 1: be back to you know what I mean. It was like,
Speaker 1: all right, that's dope, and then now what Yeah, the
Speaker 1: end of the documentary is a new song. I never
Speaker 1: heard that song off us. I'm assuming it's new. It's new. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's new. With the documentary, are you gonna do
Speaker 1: a new album or is that the process? Have you
Speaker 1: started working already or I'm already in the process. I'm
Speaker 1: already there. Maddison Square Garden, I was talking about this right. First,
Speaker 1: I want to ask the room, and then I want
Speaker 1: to ask you, Mary, Maddison Square Gardens sold out. You
Speaker 1: got one song to before? What song you want to
Speaker 1: hear married before? Form me um? Either either my life,
Speaker 1: the title track of my life? Just one, yeah, probably
Speaker 1: the title tract of my Life. That's a gospel record.
Speaker 1: That record is about God. Come on you, just one record, man,
Speaker 1: that's I can't say just one record, come on, come
Speaker 1: on you. I don't know. That's how hard. I have
Speaker 1: a lot of great memories. It's like a soundtrack to
Speaker 1: my life. So there's some good memories, some bad ones too,
Speaker 1: to some I do I want to hear something that's
Speaker 1: like fun that was a great memory, pain for memory
Speaker 1: my life because it helps me cry when I need
Speaker 1: a good cry. Now, what would you perform? I do
Speaker 1: like be happy though, that'll always be like my song
Speaker 1: because I feel that, Yeah, one song got to perform,
Speaker 1: one song sold out. What's the song you performing? My life?
Speaker 1: My life? Yeah, that's the one, man, that's I wonder
Speaker 1: even that about you And you say, um, you know,
Speaker 1: don't when you're feeling that, don't you have a fake it?
Speaker 1: It's like, is that why you were like so closed
Speaker 1: off maybe back in the day and interviews because you
Speaker 1: didn't want to show you're such a great shooter. You
Speaker 1: didn't want to show people what you was really going through.
Speaker 1: I don't want people to see me cry. I don't
Speaker 1: want to see people to see me smile. I don't
Speaker 1: want people to see anything that could lead to them
Speaker 1: thinking I'm soft and anyway, because I just didn't trust
Speaker 1: people with my emotions and my feelings. I just didn't
Speaker 1: trust them with that part of me. Because as soon
Speaker 1: as you open up, they pull a rock from under you.
Speaker 1: You bust your head on the floor. So yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what that was about. My last question, because I can
Speaker 1: tell you ready to go. How would this whole, more
Speaker 1: healed version of Mary j. Blige tell younger Mary how
Speaker 1: not to get in her way? Well, I always say
Speaker 1: if she could, if she can hear me, which I
Speaker 1: don't think she could. It's two different marries. The younger
Speaker 1: Mary is not going to listen to nobody, so all
Speaker 1: the healed Mary definitely can't tell her what to do.
Speaker 1: But if she would listen, I would just say, stop
Speaker 1: being afraid of you. That's you. That big thing you're
Speaker 1: feeling that you're running from, that's you. All right, ladies
Speaker 1: and gentleman Mary, Mary Jane, congratulations are the documentary. We
Speaker 1: can't wait to hear more music. No, I love you
Speaker 1: in a real way like your Your music has been
Speaker 1: the soundtrack to my life in a real, real way,
Speaker 1: And even now as I'm older, I understand the music
Speaker 1: more so. A song like my life hits different, a
Speaker 1: song like be Happy when I'm you know, dealing with
Speaker 1: the depression or something that hits different. So just just
Speaker 1: thank you for being you. Yeah, thanks. Not too many
Speaker 1: artists that you could say their music has withsted the
Speaker 1: test of times. Thank you, guys, I perceived my flowers
Speaker 1: right now. Thank you. Can we have the song? Can
Speaker 1: we play the song right now? Or what song the documentary?
Speaker 1: In the documentary, Na, that ain't that's kind of song.
Speaker 1: What's the one you want us to play you? I
Speaker 1: don't have it, but when I have it, I want
Speaker 1: to hear it. And it's coming, It's coming. It's Mary J. Blise.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club Morning, the Breakfast Club. Your mornings
Speaker 1: will never be the same. I'm saying. I mean that
Speaker 1: you can find anything in everything. On TikTok, I hear you.
Speaker 1: I saw this video with some random person with a
Speaker 1: central park and overheard a group of people talking back
Speaker 1: about a girl named Marissa. So he posted it and
Speaker 1: this girl Marissa actually found out and reached out to him. TikTok.
Speaker 1: You have to see it. Everybody is d ch Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee Sheloman, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: We got a special guest on the line, Berna, what's
Speaker 1: up brother? Long time I've seen my brother. Now, Berna,
Speaker 1: I would have to say, when we talked marijuana and cannabis,
Speaker 1: you were the first person. I know they had their
Speaker 1: own marijuana cannabis line. I don't know if it was
Speaker 1: legal or illegal back then. But you've been selling cookies
Speaker 1: for a long damn tun How long have you had
Speaker 1: the cookies man? You know, cookies probably been about like
Speaker 1: twelve fifteen years. I've been in the gray market we
Speaker 1: call it the gray market the traditional market for about
Speaker 1: twenty years. So how did you get into selling marijuana
Speaker 1: when it wasn't legal? I mean, it's legal everywhere now,
Speaker 1: especially you know, medicinal, So how did you get into
Speaker 1: selling it? How come you never got in trouble? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I was blessed to being in bad Area,
Speaker 1: which is like one of the most liberal places in
Speaker 1: the world when it comes to bud But in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety six they passed a law called Proposition to fifteen
Speaker 1: where you were allowed to buy, sell, and grow medically.
Speaker 1: And so there was a lot of loopholes in that law.
Speaker 1: And so I just growing up just kind of came
Speaker 1: up around that, you know what I mean. So I
Speaker 1: wasn't dumb doing child stayed and I like that. I
Speaker 1: just stayed in my lane and just learned the game.
Speaker 1: And once it became wreck, I was fully gamed up
Speaker 1: to go. You know, I like that story because a
Speaker 1: lot of people will tell you, oh, don't get a job,
Speaker 1: and that means you're working for the man and just
Speaker 1: being an entrepreneur. But you actually learned a lot of
Speaker 1: the ins and outs of the marijuana business from having
Speaker 1: a job working at a dispensary early on, And people
Speaker 1: don't understand the importance because then it really prepared you
Speaker 1: to be able to start your own thing, right Yeah,
Speaker 1: And that's what separates us from everyone else. Like as
Speaker 1: we roll out globally, not just nationwide. You know, we
Speaker 1: got cookies Israel, we got Puerto Rico coming, we got
Speaker 1: we got so many things on deck. But we're providing
Speaker 1: an experience at like you going learn hands on, you know,
Speaker 1: to actually show the customer the bud be knowledgeable about it.
Speaker 1: Our experience comes with twenty years and our shorefronts. So
Speaker 1: it's not like we just can't for the money grab
Speaker 1: or just decide we want to just be let's be
Speaker 1: a week. You gotta let's just get it cracking, like
Speaker 1: we actually put real time into it. You know, does
Speaker 1: it about to you to see you all these people
Speaker 1: are now jumping into the business that before I might
Speaker 1: have been condemning it. Nah, you know, at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, you gotta adapt. Would change. You gotta
Speaker 1: know that people are going to come rushing and want
Speaker 1: it changes a little bit. I just I just feel
Speaker 1: good at knowing that they're so far away from us
Speaker 1: and they don't have to peer intentions. So it's going
Speaker 1: to show, you know what I mean, like culturally and
Speaker 1: just where they're hearts at with the bud. It's going
Speaker 1: to show that they're not really in it for the
Speaker 1: long run. So I feel good about it. Even some
Speaker 1: politicians that were so against it are now like trying
Speaker 1: to get in the business. That has to be so ironic.
Speaker 1: It's funny. It's funny to me another thing that you're
Speaker 1: doing because obviously for our twenty gotta have Burner on
Speaker 1: the show, and you do have an event happening, a
Speaker 1: pay per view comedy show, So can you talk about that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, during during just everyone's doing these concerts like
Speaker 1: wrapping on screen, Like I could never get myself to
Speaker 1: do it. I live. I feed off the energy in
Speaker 1: the crowd, So I was like, what could I do
Speaker 1: that we can bring into people's homes. But then stay
Speaker 1: it's true to what I like to do. I'm like,
Speaker 1: comedy would be perfect. Everyone's doing live stream rap shows.
Speaker 1: It's cool, don't get me wrong, but I as an
Speaker 1: artist cannot do it. I get the buye from the crowd.
Speaker 1: So you know, at the end of the day, I
Speaker 1: thought comedy would be great. No one's really done it,
Speaker 1: and we got a great lineup for y'all, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna be perfect to compliment the high on four twenty.
Speaker 1: People are gonna laugh their ass off. Yeah, my boy,
Speaker 1: Siper Sounds is on it, who, by the way, doesn't
Speaker 1: smoke but always looks high. If you look at I
Speaker 1: thought you smoked for sure. Yeah, Styper Sounds, Bob Sagging,
Speaker 1: you got Michael Blacks and Paul Rodriguez, um a little duvault,
Speaker 1: Jeff Ross. It's gonna be so break down the different
Speaker 1: streams of weed and what people would use weed for,
Speaker 1: whether it's a TI but in the hybrid. Break that down.
Speaker 1: Because you smoke in the mornings. You what are you
Speaker 1: smoke in the morning? You know I smoke. So typically
Speaker 1: people say it's Stiva is more for like the mind,
Speaker 1: like a head high indicas more for like the body
Speaker 1: but just like anything else, the human body is different.
Speaker 1: So Angela might smoke an indicat that kind of makes
Speaker 1: your mind kind of race a little bit. You might
Speaker 1: smoke a sativa that that that super puts you down.
Speaker 1: So it all depends on your body. This morning, I'm
Speaker 1: smoking something super strong and kind of wake them up
Speaker 1: because I was like, I gotta get on camera, I
Speaker 1: gotta get right. So you know, I find what I
Speaker 1: like in Bernie, but Budd does so much and it's
Speaker 1: so good for you, bro, Like, I gotta send both
Speaker 1: of you guys a new products, a mushroom UM CBD
Speaker 1: CBM blend, and I like that it's incredible. Look for
Speaker 1: the morning, we got clarity. It opens up your minds
Speaker 1: like out of raw without your heart beating there feeling
Speaker 1: many and then we at the BedHead for night, which
Speaker 1: gives you the best rest. But the mushrooms is the
Speaker 1: next thing too. You're gonna see your boy ahead of
Speaker 1: the game with the mushroom is so good for your body, man,
Speaker 1: And so I gotta send both y'all some caps. They're legal,
Speaker 1: you won't get in trouble, but they're they're incredible for
Speaker 1: the morning and the night. Now I wanted to also
Speaker 1: talk to you about I saw you discussing, and I
Speaker 1: really loved your response. Right, your store, one of your stores,
Speaker 1: they actually broke in and stole like a million dollars worth,
Speaker 1: and obviously people were protesting in the streets, and your
Speaker 1: response was, if you can just discuss that, because I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people who are store owners when
Speaker 1: they were protests and their stores were getting damaged and looted,
Speaker 1: What did you have to say when that happened to you? Look,
Speaker 1: it sucks, obviously, but I understand why it happened. I
Speaker 1: respect why it happened. It's it's part of the world, right,
Speaker 1: Like the world is in such an angry state, and
Speaker 1: they've killed multiple people on camera and keep rubbing in
Speaker 1: our face and act like it's not a big deal.
Speaker 1: And so as a as a minority owner in any business,
Speaker 1: just being out here being racially profile when I'm out
Speaker 1: and about, I understand one hundred percent what was going on.
Speaker 1: So I told my guards to stand down. No one
Speaker 1: needs to die with it's just money. I could bounce
Speaker 1: back real quick, but you cannot get that man's life back,
Speaker 1: Like that man's life was taken from him and it
Speaker 1: was televised, and the whole world washed it, and so
Speaker 1: we were a part of what the world's reaction was.
Speaker 1: We were in the way of the storm, and so
Speaker 1: you can't get more You can't get mad when it rains, right,
Speaker 1: And so my whole thing was like, dude, I understand
Speaker 1: why it happened, and I wasn't mad at all. A
Speaker 1: bunch of people online talking to get Superman, like that's
Speaker 1: how could you not understand where people's hearts were at
Speaker 1: when that happened? That she was like, and it was
Speaker 1: it keeps happening. It's still happening. Look what happened in
Speaker 1: the thirteen year old boy in Chicago. So it's like
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, like, you know, I
Speaker 1: just I felt what the world was feeling, and I
Speaker 1: understood it, and and I just took it because it
Speaker 1: is what it is, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: how could you how could you trip all some money
Speaker 1: when someone just lost their father. It just doesn't work
Speaker 1: like that. And now we're waiting for the outcome of
Speaker 1: Derek Chauvin's child, So that's gonna we'll see what happens
Speaker 1: after that. They're trying to prepare for that across the
Speaker 1: country too, But it's gonna be some If you kill somebody,
Speaker 1: you're asking you to go to jail. It's it's on camera,
Speaker 1: like whether he had COVID or whether he was on drug,
Speaker 1: whatever it was that his knee was on his neck
Speaker 1: for how long it's on camera, you cannot say that
Speaker 1: that's justifiable. So I hope that they do the right
Speaker 1: thing in that. One more thing I wanted to ask, though,
Speaker 1: have you always had this entrepreneurship mindset? Because I saw
Speaker 1: you posting about the hotel and how your goal is
Speaker 1: to own a hotel one day, and then you have
Speaker 1: this network. Obviously you have cookies, So can you tell
Speaker 1: us where that mindset came from for you? No, my
Speaker 1: parents always told me, don't work for nobody else, to
Speaker 1: search your own business, even if it doesn't work for you,
Speaker 1: just be your own boss. So that was in starting
Speaker 1: my heads a little kid. You know, my father had
Speaker 1: a Mexican restaurant. I've seen what he did growing up,
Speaker 1: and it was never enough for us, Like it's it's tough.
Speaker 1: You can only sell read or taco for so much.
Speaker 1: So I was like, what can I do? And I
Speaker 1: just kind of follow my gut. I don't know what
Speaker 1: it was, but I've been working stup and twelve. I
Speaker 1: loted by my age, got my job and started stacking
Speaker 1: my bread and flipping my bread, and you know that's
Speaker 1: that's just the way I am. Maybe it's Siberia Barria,
Speaker 1: is you know? Independent Blueprint Central. So readily appreciate you
Speaker 1: for checking in. And yes, I'm gonna stop by cookies
Speaker 1: because I'll be in Detroit next week, so I'm amation man.
