Speaker 1: I see it work. I see a rocking in the clubs.
Speaker 1: Yeah what clubs? Well, what are those when the clubs
Speaker 1: were open? I mean, okay, hopefully it's still be around
Speaker 1: when the clubs are back open. But yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, somebody's gonna happen. Somebody's gonna have to
Speaker 1: open a virtual like uh like, I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1: Crunk is the right word. That's the word I grew
Speaker 1: up on. But the virtual like crunk club right crazy?
Speaker 1: And I do it here Echo. Two club. I mean
Speaker 1: they had something, they had the Demon Joint. They had
Speaker 1: a Demons club that at one time after eleven o'clock.
Speaker 1: They had these virtual clubs and virtual strip clubs. And yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they shouted out in the in the club. I thought
Speaker 1: I just thought she was saying she was demon the time,
Speaker 1: which is late night time. Yeah, okay, it's a virtual
Speaker 1: it's a Vertua strip club. Okay, boom, that's gonna rock
Speaker 1: out a club demon. There there you go. I'm still here. Echo.
Speaker 1: But let's get in some front page news. Where we
Speaker 1: starting you Well, let's start with health report. Is predicting
Speaker 1: up to two more years of this pandemic. They're saying
Speaker 1: eighteen months to two years until sixty to seventy percent
Speaker 1: of the population worldwide has been infected, according to a
Speaker 1: team of long standing pandemic experts in a new report
Speaker 1: that came out yesterday. I don't know how that makes
Speaker 1: y'all feel, but you know, they're saying it's likely going
Speaker 1: to be eighteen to twenty four month and as herd
Speaker 1: immunity gradually develops in the human population, then that's when
Speaker 1: finally things will be better. Yeah, they don't mean that
Speaker 1: we'll be in isolation and self I mean self isolation
Speaker 1: for two years. Or they didn't mean that the coronavirus
Speaker 1: maybe around for two years. Yeah. Yeah. They said a
Speaker 1: worst case scenario includes a second big wave in the
Speaker 1: fall and winter, and in a best case scenario, people
Speaker 1: will continue to die from the virus. That's the prediction. Great,
Speaker 1: all right. Armed demonstrators stormed Michigan State House. That's because
Speaker 1: of the stay at home order. Some of them had rifles,
Speaker 1: and they forced their way into the capital and Lancing
Speaker 1: to urge Michigan officials to end the state of emergency.
Speaker 1: You know, What's interesting. When I was in Jersey, I
Speaker 1: saw a lot of people protesting, driving and stopping on
Speaker 1: the highway and pulling out flags and beeping their horns
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So this is why I keep
Speaker 1: telling everybody to make sure you an armed, make sure
Speaker 1: you got guns. You know, practice you your two A rights,
Speaker 1: take advantage of your two A rights because you know,
Speaker 1: make sure your family knows how to shoot. Because this
Speaker 1: is what the shoot you of America looks like. You're
Speaker 1: gonna see more these, you know, campaigns of thuggery, intimidation,
Speaker 1: and violence from malicious against American democracy. And if they
Speaker 1: will storm a Capitol building, they will storm your house.
Speaker 1: Because if the economy keeps going the way that it
Speaker 1: is and the gap between the halves and have not
Speaker 1: continues to grow, they will storm your house. I's got
Speaker 1: a little bit more. What did they do to make
Speaker 1: sure you and your family are scraped? Know that much?
Speaker 1: All right? Coronavirus also has hit the US meat supply
Speaker 1: pretty hard. They're saying one of the first things that's
Speaker 1: going to be scarce is boneless chicken. So they're swapping
Speaker 1: boneless chicken now for less popular pieces like thighs and drumsticks,
Speaker 1: and they are also saying that what they have to
Speaker 1: do is grocers are now accepting cuts of meat that
Speaker 1: require more cutting in house by their butchers to keep
Speaker 1: their meat counters as full as possible. And companies are
Speaker 1: working in secure FROs and beef supply just in case
Speaker 1: these shutdowns at beef suppliers disrupt the supply chain. Also,
Speaker 1: so people are shifting away from different types of meat
Speaker 1: just because of the scarcity of it. And nearly nine
Speaker 1: hundred workers at the Tyson Foods pork plant tested positive
Speaker 1: for coronavirus, and so of course that's going to cause
Speaker 1: a shortage there as well. I'm not gonna lie. I'm
Speaker 1: not mad if they take meat, boneless chicken meat off
Speaker 1: the shelf because I don't believe in bonles chicken meat.
Speaker 1: When it comes to bonles chicken meat, that's when I
Speaker 1: get in my five G conspiracy bag. Okay, I want
Speaker 1: all my animals to have bones. If they don't have bones,
Speaker 1: I just consider them genetically modified. Yeah, did y'all hear
Speaker 1: about this virus killing robot that they have? What did
Speaker 1: you hear about it? It's called the Xenix. It's a
Speaker 1: robot that they created costs like one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: that can kill the coronavirus. So meaning if you own
Speaker 1: a gym or if you own a hospital, they put
Speaker 1: this robot into the room or to the area and
Speaker 1: it kills the virus all in the room. Did you
Speaker 1: hear about it sanitizes the place. Yeah, it's sanitizes the place,
Speaker 1: but it's used to kill coronavirus. And I see all
Speaker 1: the hospitals are buying it, and also like sports teams
Speaker 1: and gyms, so that way people don't have to clean it.
Speaker 1: So just say you in the gym. Every hour, they
Speaker 1: just send this robot in the gym and it throws
Speaker 1: out this light. This just illuminates the place and it
Speaker 1: kills all the viruses, including coronavirus, and then leaves and
Speaker 1: you can go back into work out. Already existed, right,
Speaker 1: I believe it already existed, and they and they perfected
Speaker 1: it to kill coronavirus as well. And they're saying everybody's
Speaker 1: picking this thing up. They saying it costs about one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand large, which is gonna make it safer for
Speaker 1: people when they have to clean these hospitals, clean these ms,
Speaker 1: even clean subways and things like that. I thought was
Speaker 1: pretty dope. How long before Donald Trump tells tells us
Speaker 1: to have to let the robot operate on us and
Speaker 1: let the robot inject his light inside of us because
Speaker 1: it'll kill all coronavirus? How soon? Uh? Tomorrow? Okay? All right,
Speaker 1: well last your front page news. Get it off your chest.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five eight five one o five one. If
Speaker 1: you need to vent hit us up right now, maybe

Speaker 1: So I heard you talking about that little robot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna hospital absolutely hate that stupid thing. You incorrect
Speaker 1: as to what it does. It does not kill the
Speaker 1: coronavirus at all, because we've been using this even before
Speaker 1: the coronavirus came out to dude, tell us what to dude,
Speaker 1: put us on that little stupid thing. It does kill.
Speaker 1: It kills bacteria. It does not kill the virus. It
Speaker 1: kills anything and anything that you miss whitely now with bleach.
Speaker 1: It kills it in the room, any spot that you
Speaker 1: haven't you can't get to. That's what the light does.
Speaker 1: But it does not kill the virus. Out of the
Speaker 1: room completely. You actually have to let the room six
Speaker 1: for an extra hour before anybody can go back into
Speaker 1: that room. So why why do you hate that little robot?
Speaker 1: Why have you tried to unplug it a million times?
Speaker 1: I can see you trying to take the battery up. No,
Speaker 1: I'm okay, So I'm pregnant. And the smell that it
Speaker 1: gives off ry tod and smell got you. It ain't active, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's um. So the hospital that I worked at, the
Speaker 1: infection rate has been up, but it's gone down since
Speaker 1: we've gotten the robot um because like some of the
Speaker 1: people that I worked, but they didn't really clean like
Speaker 1: they were supposed to. So, but it does help. It
Speaker 1: does help a lot, but it does not kill everything
Speaker 1: that we wanted to kill. Yeah, because it says still
Speaker 1: go in the room and clean the spray spray bleach.
Speaker 1: I use like thirty bottles of bleach in every room

Speaker 1: dead well, they say that your They say that your
Speaker 1: consciousness remains alive after you pass away. So when you
Speaker 1: pass away, they say that you are absolutely aware that
Speaker 1: you did pass away, because you know it's still your
Speaker 1: consciousness is still energy. You just don't have a physical
Speaker 1: body that works anymore. I thought about it like that.

Speaker 1: Oh that's what they're making a sound right now, that's true.

Speaker 1: into that next. Keep a lot. This to Breakfast club.
Speaker 1: Good morning the Breakfast Club. This is the rule of
Speaker 1: report with Angela. Yes, I probably would have tease Tiffany Hattish,
Speaker 1: but yes, Tiffany Hattish, if you recall she was on
Speaker 1: Ellen and why you dirty like that man like he
Speaker 1: wasn't going to dance. No, she's getting vindicated with this, Okay, okay.
Speaker 1: So she did an appearance on Ellen and she said
Speaker 1: that she and Chenney had slept together one night many
Speaker 1: years ago. Listen to this. Have you ever dated a
Speaker 1: celebrity that the world doesn't know about? But what's the
Speaker 1: really dating? What did we just look? Chiney? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: did you and Chimney? Yeah? I mean it was a
Speaker 1: hook up. If that was the early two thousands, y'all.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if that counts anymore. Now Cheney
Speaker 1: had denied that this happened, but now he's saying that, yes,
Speaker 1: it did happen. Here is Chiney admitting that I don't
Speaker 1: remember it still to this day. So I had to
Speaker 1: call my brother, who I know know everything, and so
Speaker 1: I asked him. I was like us back there and
Speaker 1: I used to drink it and I was like a
Speaker 1: bowling ball. I was knocking him down. I called him.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, man, did that happen? He said, yeah,
Speaker 1: that happened. He said, I was with her friend. You
Speaker 1: had her one night when he was everybody was up.
Speaker 1: He was in my room. Then you her? What's your
Speaker 1: room and whoo whoo. You know, I saw that yesterday
Speaker 1: and it made me think, do I remember every woman
Speaker 1: I had sex with in in my day? And I
Speaker 1: couldn't remember. I honestly was sitting around racking my brain
Speaker 1: thinking about it. So no, you don't remember, it's what
Speaker 1: you're saying. Yeah, I don't think I have women that
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily just I don't. I don't remember. I'll
Speaker 1: recall the every detail of the sex act or their names.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But I'm pretty sure if
Speaker 1: I think hard enough, I can remember. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I did sleep with her. I can't just you know,
Speaker 1: be like, nah, I didn't sleep with her unequippably. She
Speaker 1: might not remember you though, huh, how can you forget me?
Speaker 1: I deny it, all right, Michael Jordan offered, Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: you tell you the truth. Some of your friends, he's
Speaker 1: denied it back in the day, all the time out
Speaker 1: heard these streets there, you know what, I never asked them.
Speaker 1: I do remember one person saying I wouldn't let him upstairs.
Speaker 1: She would let him upstairs. She's smutting me out in
Speaker 1: the cart. She definitely did, all right, Michael Jordan was
Speaker 1: offered one hundred million dollars to appear in an event
Speaker 1: for two hours, according to his agent Peter Falk, and
Speaker 1: he didn't want to do it. One hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1: He was on w Fans Show where he discussed how
Speaker 1: picky that Michael Jordan was when it came to deals.
Speaker 1: I mean he turned down a deal. I bought him
Speaker 1: a deal three years ago for one hundred million dollars
Speaker 1: and all he had to do was make a one
Speaker 1: other giving his name and likeness to make a one
Speaker 1: two hour appearance to announce the deal. And he turned
Speaker 1: it down. And God boss him. You know, he's been
Speaker 1: so successful it gives him an opportunity to do whatever
Speaker 1: the hell he wants. I ain't mad at it. I
Speaker 1: mean the million. The man's worth a billion dollars he
Speaker 1: just didn't feel like doing at this time. Yeah, one
Speaker 1: hundred million is a lot. I wonder what the deal
Speaker 1: was exactly, like like company, what company wasn't you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? I mean, one hundred million is a
Speaker 1: lot to us. But I mean when you're a guy
Speaker 1: who probably has you know, seven hundred billion dollars you
Speaker 1: know in liquid in liquid or probably another probably a
Speaker 1: billion plus in assets in your bank account. You're like, man,
Speaker 1: I can turn that hundred million dollars and all the
Speaker 1: money he makes a billion, that's still a lot. I
Speaker 1: can't even imagine. But because you know, my billionaire, you're
Speaker 1: not a billionaire. If you're a billionaire, you didn't feel
Speaker 1: like doing anything like you know what, I ain't gonna
Speaker 1: forget that. And when you make so much horizontal money, right,
Speaker 1: because Michael Jordan makes money when he's sleep, because he's
Speaker 1: shoes and his must Yeah, they want to leave two hours,
Speaker 1: I can't even all right. Well, Also in addition to that,
Speaker 1: another thing that uh, that fuck brought up, that David
Speaker 1: fuck brought up was the fact that he believes that
Speaker 1: Scottie Pippen is jealous of Michael Jordan. I don't don't
Speaker 1: thin Scottie Pippen is jealous of Michael Jordan. I think
Speaker 1: Pipping saw Michael Jordan and at a certain point he
Speaker 1: knows that whatever Jordan was making, he should be making
Speaker 1: at least half of that, especially probably those last couple
Speaker 1: of years when he was making two point five million
Speaker 1: dollars compared to Jordan, who was making thirty million dollars
Speaker 1: a year. I don't think that I would call that jealousy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think it was jellous dame I as it.
Speaker 1: It's because he keeps on saying Lebron's a better player
Speaker 1: than Michael Jordan, and he feels like, even if you
Speaker 1: felt like that because of your relationship with Michael Jordan
Speaker 1: and everything he's done for you, maybe you shouldn't just
Speaker 1: walk around saying that all the time. And he feels like,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't believe that, but Pipping might feel
Speaker 1: that way. Well, Pippen don't feel that way either. Pipping
Speaker 1: has had objective conversations where he said things like, you know,
Speaker 1: Lebron James may have passed Michael Jordan um in different ways.
Speaker 1: But the last statement that Scottie Pippen made was in
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen and he said Lebron James is not even
Speaker 1: what Kobe Bryant was as a player. And he said
Speaker 1: he said, Pippen said, Scott pip said Lebron does not
Speaker 1: have the ability to take over a game in the
Speaker 1: way Jordan did during his playing dates. He said, Lebron
Speaker 1: not in no way near Jordan. He's not even been
Speaker 1: as Kobe Bryant as a player. That was his last
Speaker 1: statement on it. So all right now, Anderson Cooper, congratulations
Speaker 1: to him. He announced the birth of his son, Wyatt
Speaker 1: Alive on CNN. Here he is as a gay kid.
Speaker 1: I never thought it would be possible to have a child,
Speaker 1: and I'm so grateful for all those who paved the way,
Speaker 1: and for the doctors and nurses and everyone involved in
Speaker 1: my son's birth. Most of all, I am eternally grateful
Speaker 1: to a remarkable sergeant who carried Wyatt. I do wish
Speaker 1: my mom and my dad and my brother Carter were
Speaker 1: alive to meet Wyatt, but I like to believe that
Speaker 1: they can see him. I imagine them all together, arms
Speaker 1: around each other, smiling and laughing and watching looking down
Speaker 1: on us, happy to know that their love is alive
Speaker 1: in me and in Wyatt, and that our family continues.
Speaker 1: All right, So congratulations to Anderson Cooper. I guess that
Speaker 1: is such a blessing. But it was sad to hear
Speaker 1: about all that he's gone through in his life, having
Speaker 1: lost many different family members. Yeah, that's horrible, Like, who
Speaker 1: do you share a moment like that with? You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Because you would love for your child
Speaker 1: to meet the grandparents, you know, their uncle, and they're
Speaker 1: not here, Like Jesus Christ. That's gotta hurt. All right,
Speaker 1: I'm angela. Yeah, and that is your rumor report. Oh
Speaker 1: and Drake, we have Drake all morning, right, so as
Speaker 1: y'all know, and we'll get more into this. But Drake
Speaker 1: did announce his Dark Lane Demo Tapes mixtape and that
Speaker 1: is out. So I don't know. If y'all have had
Speaker 1: a chance, I would sleep. So I haven't had a
Speaker 1: chance to listen. I haven't heard a chance. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: get all losses right now. It's the breakfast Club, Good morning.
Speaker 1: Front page News is next, that's the RBGRAM. I like
Speaker 1: that's all that trash ass tutti slide TikTok bs. I
Speaker 1: like that. Listen, man, when you have to pretend you
Speaker 1: to be the best rapper alive, why you want to
Speaker 1: be a little white girl tiktoking? Okay? Like chest when
Speaker 1: you can make music like that, That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: That was hard? All right. Well let's get in some
Speaker 1: front page news. What we started with. Ye, Well, first off,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, guys, I didn't realize the deadline
Speaker 1: was coming up, so quickly. But if you did not
Speaker 1: file a tax return last year and you have kids
Speaker 1: under seventeen, you have to act now to get the
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars economic impact payment per child. Now, I
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of people who can use this money,
Speaker 1: so make sure you get it done by Tuesday May fit.
Speaker 1: To get your payment in twenty twenty, all you have
Speaker 1: to do is go to IRS dot gov and that's
Speaker 1: where you can enter your information and the non filer
Speaker 1: tool again by Tuesday, May fifth, So I want to
Speaker 1: make sure you get your money. Get that done before
Speaker 1: Sinco de Mayo, man, because ain't nobody and think about
Speaker 1: a single to Miles on a Tuesday this year, So
Speaker 1: that's a taco Tuesday, so it's gonna be to Quilla
Speaker 1: and tacos flowing everywhere. You ain't gonna have time for
Speaker 1: no taxes on May fifth to do that before then. Okay, absolutely,
Speaker 1: that's from my Mexican brothers and sister. This guy's crazy
Speaker 1: us in Natina. That's Natina's birthday, Single de Maya, So
Speaker 1: we've got to do a zoom with that appy birthday
Speaker 1: in Na Tina. All right, Now, there's some little things
Speaker 1: that we don't think about, right, and it's been causing
Speaker 1: some inconvenience. As you're out tide with your mask on,
Speaker 1: how do you unlock your iPhone if you don't use
Speaker 1: face ID? Now you got to do all of that.
Speaker 1: So now Apple's making it easier for you to unlock
Speaker 1: your iPhone without face ID because of the mask. All
Speaker 1: you have to do is swipe up to bring the
Speaker 1: pass code screen. And there's uh, since there isn't as
Speaker 1: much of a delay between the phone trying to recognize
Speaker 1: your face and asking you to enter in the pass code,
Speaker 1: and so they're trying to do this whole thing. If you, uh,
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know how it's gonna make it
Speaker 1: any easier. But if you all you have to do
Speaker 1: is swipe up if you're wearing a mask, and you'll
Speaker 1: skip the face ID display and then you enter in
Speaker 1: a code. I kind of feel like that's what we've
Speaker 1: been doing already anyway, Right, you know what else you
Speaker 1: got to think about? I thought about this the other
Speaker 1: day when I was out. When you're wearing gloves and
Speaker 1: you got the mask on, Oh yeah, yeah, if your
Speaker 1: phone rings don't touch your phone while you got the
Speaker 1: gloves on, and then you got you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: because whatever you've been your phone. Absolutely, you can't even
Speaker 1: like type in anything when you have a glove on, right,
Speaker 1: don't you gotta take this. You gotta take the gloves off,
Speaker 1: You gotta take that, and you gotta take that out
Speaker 1: for them. You gotta get back to that person, all right.
Speaker 1: And in Michigan, they have launched a free condom delivery
Speaker 1: service during coronavirus lockdown, so the Condoms by Mail program.
Speaker 1: They said they feel it's extremely important during this public
Speaker 1: health crisis to continue to support our communities and protecting
Speaker 1: themselves against unintended pregnancies, STIs and HIV. So Michigan residents
Speaker 1: have to require deliveries via email and those packages will
Speaker 1: be discreet and unmarked, and it'll have ten condoms and
Speaker 1: ten packets of lubrication. Yeah. I just don't feel like
Speaker 1: you should be quarantining with someone you can't have unprotected
Speaker 1: sex with. I think, whoever, if you don't want to
Speaker 1: have a baby, yeah, if you don't want to have
Speaker 1: a baby or baby, that's just your you know, your
Speaker 1: your boyfriend, a girlfriend and y'all working. You just don't
Speaker 1: have a child yet. So you're just being protected. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna judge couples who I'm not gonna judge couples
Speaker 1: who use condoms because you know, I know, I know
Speaker 1: a married couple. They use condoms because she's not just
Speaker 1: pregnant and have another. Yeah, they're married, she doesn't want
Speaker 1: to have the baby. Birth control. Some people don't believe
Speaker 1: in birth control. Yeah. Some people don't want to put
Speaker 1: things in their body like that. And some women have
Speaker 1: a bad um, you know, they have a bad reaction
Speaker 1: to that. So you don't want to put things in
Speaker 1: your body. But you put that nasty little piece of
Speaker 1: rubbing in your body. Now behind it. It's only a
Speaker 1: nasty little piece of rubber when you're married, okay, but
Speaker 1: when you're single or understand. But all I'm simply saying
Speaker 1: is you shouldn't be quarantined with somebody you can't go wrong.
Speaker 1: But tell them how that rubber feels in your body.
Speaker 1: Since you know so well, Charlemagne, I mean, I gotta
Speaker 1: put it on me. It's like using your phone with gloves.
Speaker 1: It's literally like using your phone with gloves on. And listen,
Speaker 1: you guys have it easy because you don't take birth control.
Speaker 1: But for some women, birth control is tough, like it
Speaker 1: might make you gain a lot of weight, it might
Speaker 1: make you have that there's all kinds of things that
Speaker 1: can go wrong. Some people just can't take it. And
Speaker 1: so if you don't want to have a baby, it's
Speaker 1: really early in these stages. I don't think a lot
Speaker 1: of men are using that. I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: even as effective as birth control for women. So if
Speaker 1: you have to be responsible in that way, there's nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with that. All I'm saying is, ladies, if you can't, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, have raw sex with the person you're quarantine with,
Speaker 1: then it may not be the person you should be with.
Speaker 1: Don't listen to him. You might not want to get pregnant.
Speaker 1: If you want to be responsible, be responsible, however you
Speaker 1: choose to do it. The responsible get married. You stop it, man,
Speaker 1: They might not be ready to get married forcing me
Speaker 1: to get married, you know. And you know responsible sex
Speaker 1: is whack. You know. That's why we're happy to be married.
Speaker 1: And you can go raw, I know, but I ain't
Speaker 1: telling that to everybody. People out there, I haven't say.
Speaker 1: They want to let you know what you're missing with
Speaker 1: their partner and still getting something somehow. So I don't
Speaker 1: know that some people don't need no babies right now,
Speaker 1: I have about that some people need to be protected.
Speaker 1: All right. Well, when we come back today is the
Speaker 1: first day of Mental Health Awareness months, so we're gonna
Speaker 1: be kicking of it. Doctor Rito Walker. Yes, I read
Speaker 1: this great book over the holidays. I was blessed enough
Speaker 1: to get an advanced copy and I've read it twice
Speaker 1: since then. You might hear me ref referencing it a lot.
Speaker 1: And it is the unapologetic guy, the black mental health
Speaker 1: doctor Ya Walker has created this book that helps you
Speaker 1: to navigating unequal system and learned tools for emotional wellness
Speaker 1: and the help that we also greatly deserve and regards
Speaker 1: our mental health soul. Yes, doctor to Walker. And the
Speaker 1: book is out the day first day of Mental Health
Speaker 1: Awareness Month. The book came out to day. I think
Speaker 1: everybody needs to have this book. Man, It is that important,
Speaker 1: it is that good. Should add it to your library.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that next, So don't move.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club, Go Morning, the Breakfast Club Morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the guy. We
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. We have a special guest in
Speaker 1: the building and Charlemagne. Today is the start of Mental
Speaker 1: Health Awareness Month. Yesterday is the first day of Mental
Speaker 1: Health Awareness Month, and she has put out a book
Speaker 1: today called The Unapologetic Guy, The Black Mental Health. It
Speaker 1: is absolutely the best book I have read this year. Period.
Speaker 1: To read a Walkers here, I have to read a
Speaker 1: walker Good morning, Good morning everybody. Now, first, how are
Speaker 1: you quarantine? And how how is everybody with you? The
Speaker 1: family straight? Everybody good? Yes, we're good. You know, got
Speaker 1: a little bit of cabin fever, as you might imagine.
Speaker 1: Got a child under the eight to ten, so yeah,
Speaker 1: I got three, So I know exactly what you're going
Speaker 1: through right now. How are you doing mental health at
Speaker 1: a time like this? How am I stigmenttally healthy? You
Speaker 1: and I had a whole family? Everybody, well, everybody has
Speaker 1: their ways. So I'll probably just start with my son
Speaker 1: because video games and I try and keep him off
Speaker 1: with video games, but that probably keeps them best connected
Speaker 1: to his friends. So I think it's been kind of
Speaker 1: normal for him because he gets more video games than usual.
Speaker 1: For me. I have spent time outside, so I have
Speaker 1: a small patio that when I'm starting to get into
Speaker 1: my head. I go sit outside and that's most helpful
Speaker 1: for me. Now, you talk about the kids with video games,
Speaker 1: because I have a five year old that's on this
Speaker 1: ipaddle day, so I have to take it from him
Speaker 1: sometimes because he's into those video games, and I feel
Speaker 1: like his mind is so stuck on these games. He's
Speaker 1: not necessarily just seeing what else is going on with
Speaker 1: this world, So I kind of take it from him.
Speaker 1: So if you have younger kids, what do you to
Speaker 1: suggest we do to make sure they stay mentally healthy. Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think that we have to realize that this is
Speaker 1: a really difficult time, and not just for us, but
Speaker 1: certainly for our kids too, and so trying to find
Speaker 1: the ballot. So maybe have an agreement, Okay, you can
Speaker 1: play for this amount of time and then after that
Speaker 1: take it off so that we can do something else.
Speaker 1: My son loved puzzles, so I have been trying to
Speaker 1: find as many puzzles as I can so that we
Speaker 1: and do like battleships, so we play game kind of
Speaker 1: distracting from the video games. Gotcha, Well, listen, let's talk
Speaker 1: about this master fish. You wrote The Unapologetic Guy, the
Speaker 1: Black Mental Health. Like I said, best new book I
Speaker 1: read so far this year and it's not even close
Speaker 1: For those who haven't read it, Shet, what is the
Speaker 1: Unapologetic God the Black mental Health? Well, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: I was motivated to write the book because of the
Speaker 1: suicide rate going up for Black children. That concerned me
Speaker 1: and I have been studying black suicide since I was
Speaker 1: in grad school in the nineties, and my concern was
Speaker 1: that one people didn't know and two that we didn't
Speaker 1: recognize that we needed to turn into our own community
Speaker 1: start to address some of the larger issues that I
Speaker 1: think have led to the suicide rate going up for
Speaker 1: Black children. So that's what the book is about, is
Speaker 1: how we first acknowledge some of the challenges that we
Speaker 1: experience as African Americans, some of those challenges, and then
Speaker 1: how on a day to day basis, we start to
Speaker 1: make change. I don't expect for change to happen overnight,
Speaker 1: these problems getting the rise overnight, but we need to
Speaker 1: start moving in a different direction. Now, why do you
Speaker 1: think the suicide rate is shot up so much? You know,
Speaker 1: is it the music? Because I remember being a kid,
Speaker 1: you know, you wouldn't hear much about suicide, but it
Speaker 1: almost seems like if things are not going well, it's
Speaker 1: an easier way to say, Okay, I'm just gonna take
Speaker 1: my life. And I see more and more kids adapting
Speaker 1: to that. Yeah, I will say so suicide is complicated,
Speaker 1: So there are a lot of factors that come together
Speaker 1: for a person to one decide that they want to
Speaker 1: die and then two to take the steps to take
Speaker 1: their own lives. But I think that one of the
Speaker 1: things to happen for African Americans because for a long
Speaker 1: time we didn't see suicide death rates, certainly for five
Speaker 1: to eleven year old children, so that's where the rates
Speaker 1: were going up. That really got my attention. So in
Speaker 1: our community, we've been through a lot, so going through
Speaker 1: having the problems isn't new to so there's always been
Speaker 1: this since to resolve that we can take care of
Speaker 1: whatever comes from play. I think we see this sub quarantine,
Speaker 1: like we create what we need to survive. But all
Speaker 1: the time I would have been this for integration. I
Speaker 1: have students in my university lash room who say, you know,
Speaker 1: doctor Walker, you talk about being black and Africans, but
Speaker 1: I'm just Americans. And so when we move away from
Speaker 1: this notion that we are a special African descending people
Speaker 1: who have what we need in our community to survive
Speaker 1: and think that when threat happens, because threats to our
Speaker 1: humanity will happen, that we don't have that sort of
Speaker 1: protection or covering of knowing who we are. And that's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons that I think theoretically we've seen
Speaker 1: the rates to go up in our community. Correct. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you talked about that in the book, when you talked
Speaker 1: about why Wakanda Forever is so important. That was a force,
Speaker 1: you know. Either the movie The Black Panther was something
Speaker 1: that we were so excited about and I don't even
Speaker 1: think we understood what that movie and it was a
Speaker 1: fictional movie, right, but we rallied around that movie because
Speaker 1: we saw so much positivity of who we were and
Speaker 1: it was okay for us to be African and sugress
Speaker 1: up in African clothes. You know, we had our salute
Speaker 1: and it was it was special because we are special.
Speaker 1: But we have lost We've lost a lot of our connections,
Speaker 1: you know. And I'll have folks say, you know, I've
Speaker 1: never been to Africa. I don't know anything about Africa,
Speaker 1: but a lot of our culture, our culture is African
Speaker 1: in its origin, but we've lost that connection. What are
Speaker 1: some of the steps that you would tell parents? If
Speaker 1: you're looking at your kids and you don't really know
Speaker 1: what to do to help them. You can see that
Speaker 1: they're going through something. Maybe it's a depression, maybe it's anxiety,
Speaker 1: but you're not quite sure what it is. What are
Speaker 1: some of the steps you would advise. Yeah, I appreciate that,
Speaker 1: and this is something that we can It works for
Speaker 1: children and it work for adults. It's communication and it
Speaker 1: sounds simple. But I'm always fascinated by the degree to
Speaker 1: which we are hesitant for whatever reason, we fear if
Speaker 1: we ask the all question, we're gonna upset someone that
Speaker 1: maybe if we get an answer we don't want, we
Speaker 1: won't know how to help. But I think parents have
Speaker 1: to be willing when they see something different, Like you said,
Speaker 1: you see the child of looking depressed, ask to what's
Speaker 1: going on. I know in my generation, you know, we
Speaker 1: didn't have a whole lot of talking about feelings like
Speaker 1: that's just not what you do, and the child doesn't
Speaker 1: want to talk. We have to be willing to say,
Speaker 1: you know, I can tell you going through something. I'm
Speaker 1: here whenever you're ready. To talk and then be ready
Speaker 1: to talk and not be judgmental, like we have to
Speaker 1: be willing to be physically present and suspend our judgments
Speaker 1: for people who are struggling. How much is social media?
Speaker 1: How much is social media affecting kids now? Would you think?
Speaker 1: Because I'm sure that that has to be adding to
Speaker 1: some of the experiences that can be negative that kids
Speaker 1: are having. Yeah, the research on social media is still emerging,
Speaker 1: but from what we can tell, it does seem that
Speaker 1: it feeds into that comparison you know, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: you've all seen it when people would just compelled to
Speaker 1: compare themselves to others rather than recognizing because we all
Speaker 1: have talents, we all have gifts, and we need to
Speaker 1: pay more attention to our own strengths and gifts. But
Speaker 1: instead we're pulled in all of these different directions and
Speaker 1: trying to be someone that we're not, and so social
Speaker 1: media can facilitate that. Unfortunately. All right, we have more
Speaker 1: with doctor Rita Walker when we come back. Is the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, Good morning joining everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you
Speaker 1: just join us today is the first day of meant
Speaker 1: to Health Awareness Month and we're kicking with doctor Rita
Speaker 1: Walker Charlomagne and one of the first chapters of the book,
Speaker 1: you know, staying on the suicide topic, you say, what
Speaker 1: you can do if death seems like the best into
Speaker 1: pain for those feelings suicide or what what? What can
Speaker 1: they do? Yeah? I think it's important to recognize that
Speaker 1: we have internal resources and then we have external resources.
Speaker 1: And in the book, I also talk about psychological fortitude, right,
Speaker 1: So psychological fortitude is that the level of resilience or resistance.
Speaker 1: We have two things that will otherwise challenge us or
Speaker 1: undermine our psychology. Like we need our minds in order
Speaker 1: to be in relationships, to work, to live our life purpose.
Speaker 1: But for some of us, like we're so worn down,
Speaker 1: we just can't function day to day, and so we
Speaker 1: have to tap into our internal resources. So for people
Speaker 1: who are feeling like my life doesn't matter, no one
Speaker 1: cares if I live that if we can't tapp into
Speaker 1: writing down our thoughts for a lot of times we
Speaker 1: get in our heads, then we have to be willing
Speaker 1: to reach out to others and that can be hard
Speaker 1: in our community, as you all know, because of this
Speaker 1: sense of strength and resilience that we have. That is important.
Speaker 1: But on the other side of that, we think, well,
Speaker 1: if I'm asking for help and that means I'm weak,
Speaker 1: well I would challenge that, and that saying asking for
Speaker 1: help means that someone is strong enough to overcome their
Speaker 1: potential weakness. The challenge is that when people get into
Speaker 1: suicide related crisis, it's hard to problem solve. It's hard
Speaker 1: to say, Okay, let me figure out what to do now.
Speaker 1: They're so overwhelmed that they don't have the resources to
Speaker 1: figure out what the problem is and what the best
Speaker 1: long term solution is. Yeah, that you mentioned, I think
Speaker 1: a lot of suicide is I want, I don't want
Speaker 1: to say accidental, but what I mean accidentalists like I
Speaker 1: think a lot of times, I think when people talk
Speaker 1: about suicide, a lot of it is for attention. They
Speaker 1: want people to care about them. And I think sometimes
Speaker 1: when people feel like, you know, oil, they said they
Speaker 1: were going to do it, they're not really going to
Speaker 1: do it. I think almost people like feel like they
Speaker 1: forced themselves to be like now they believe they don't
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna do it, and then they wind up
Speaker 1: doing it. Do you see that happen a lot. So
Speaker 1: that's tricky because I do think that there's this conversation
Speaker 1: around like, oh, they just want attention. But the challenge
Speaker 1: of that is what if something like what you describe
Speaker 1: happens and is it worth it to take that chance? Right?
Speaker 1: I want for folks to think of suicide crisis as
Speaker 1: a personal pain. Who wants the pain to end? Right,
Speaker 1: So however they go about getting that pain and they
Speaker 1: want it. It is pervasive and all of their thoughts
Speaker 1: they don't see tomorrow. They just want to sin. So
Speaker 1: maybe they have done something to put themselves in a
Speaker 1: risky situation, you know, not knowing how lethal it is.
Speaker 1: Because yet we have a lot of people who attempt
Speaker 1: suicide who don't die by suicide, right, Yeah, These people
Speaker 1: who do things because they who want to end the pain,
Speaker 1: not thinking to say, taking a bottle of pounds, like
Speaker 1: they're thinking, okay, this will least maybe they'll knock me
Speaker 1: out for a little while. But album but then it's
Speaker 1: really lethal and so they die. So I think that
Speaker 1: it helps all of us, and I talk to my
Speaker 1: doctor students about this because suicide is scary for everyone.
Speaker 1: You know, doctor Rita Walker, you talk about reclaiming your mind.
Speaker 1: So how do you reclaim your mind to reclaim a
Speaker 1: life worth living? Yeah, And I use reclaim intentionally because
Speaker 1: I do see African people around the world as having
Speaker 1: resilience within us, which is why we're still here. And
Speaker 1: so what I'm seeing is, you know, reclaim our connections
Speaker 1: to our African heritage and calling it what it is.
Speaker 1: And so I think attention that students will say, I
Speaker 1: don't know anything about Africa, I've never been there, There's
Speaker 1: nothing about me that is African, and that it's just
Speaker 1: not true because we see it around us. And so
Speaker 1: when we reclaim, we have to learn more about our history,
Speaker 1: you know, go to our African cultural museums, talk to
Speaker 1: our older relatives about what life was like when they
Speaker 1: were younger. So we have to reconnect with what it
Speaker 1: means for us to be who we are and not
Speaker 1: criticize or be critical of things that are African and
Speaker 1: call ourselves, you know, lazy in a way that a
Speaker 1: lot of mainstream folks have minimized or denigrated what it
Speaker 1: means for us to be who we are. What advice
Speaker 1: do you give to people outside of this this quarantine,
Speaker 1: like you know, they're starting to open up things and
Speaker 1: people are losing jobs. You know, they're losing money. How
Speaker 1: do you tell people to monitor their mental health in
Speaker 1: this situation? Is that even possible? It is possible, and
Speaker 1: it starts with being intentional. So one of the things
Speaker 1: that people humans are inclined to do is to catastrophize things. Now, yes,
Speaker 1: losing a car and losing a job, it is hard,
Speaker 1: and so your emotional well being, your psychological fortitude, isn't
Speaker 1: about bad things happening. It is about managing your response
Speaker 1: or your reaction to that bad thing. So, losing a
Speaker 1: job for some people, and I know there are plenty
Speaker 1: of stories out there, that was a blessing that I
Speaker 1: lost that job because it allowed me to tap into
Speaker 1: my own inherent creativity, my business sense, to create something
Speaker 1: that was consistent with who I was. So I think
Speaker 1: the easiest thing is to focus on the next hour.
Speaker 1: When someone is overwhelmed, don't think about next week. Think about, Okay,
Speaker 1: what do I need to do in the next fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: If what I need to do is just to kind
Speaker 1: of sit down and watch TV, then do that, because
Speaker 1: otherwise we get so overwhelmed that it can be hard
Speaker 1: to figure out. The solutions that are really in us
Speaker 1: are somewhere in our family or in our community. Right
Speaker 1: what do you say people who are having difficulties right
Speaker 1: now at home in their relationship. You know, as we've
Speaker 1: been seeing a lot of people have been realizing maybe
Speaker 1: it's time for me to file for divorce. They're not
Speaker 1: sure how to work through whatever issues they have. Things
Speaker 1: are being magnified right now. What's your advice that somebody
Speaker 1: should they wait until this pandemic is over and then reassess,
Speaker 1: or is this really a time when you're these might
Speaker 1: be some prevalent issues that you're like, Okay, now I'm
Speaker 1: realizing what it really is now that we're in here
Speaker 1: twenty four seven. Like you always said, you know, domestic
Speaker 1: violence calls you said, have shot through the roof. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And for those who are in domestic violence situations, there
Speaker 1: are hotlines and numbers to call to get support. But
Speaker 1: in those kinds of situations, people can do the best
Speaker 1: that they can with what they know, but sometimes it
Speaker 1: works to reach out. And so I do say that
Speaker 1: because we know those rates are going up. As far
Speaker 1: as making other big visions relationship wise, I probably make
Speaker 1: the same advice that I do with anything that's hard,
Speaker 1: that at least take time to write down what are
Speaker 1: the pros and cons of the decision and sitting down
Speaker 1: and saying, Okay, if I leave, this is the prons
Speaker 1: of leaving. These are the cons of leaving. And then
Speaker 1: if I stay, do the pros and cons also of staying?
Speaker 1: And that works with anything. Sometimes the pros and cons
Speaker 1: all equal, and then we have to decide just one
Speaker 1: makes the most sense. Just in my spirit intuitively, what
Speaker 1: is it that I feel like I need to be
Speaker 1: doing because we have another we have another gear in us.
Speaker 1: So we have our thoughts, in our thinking and our intellect,
Speaker 1: but we also have you know, that voice that's been
Speaker 1: pushing us in one direction or another that we I
Speaker 1: think we all need to be paying a little bit
Speaker 1: more attention to and that quarantine time gives us an
Speaker 1: opportunity to do right. We have more with doctor Rita
Speaker 1: Walker when we come back. Is the Breakfast Club. Good
Speaker 1: morning morning. Everybody is d Jay, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy. We all the Breakfast Club if you just
Speaker 1: join us. Today is the first day of Mental Health
Speaker 1: Awareness Month, and we're kicking with doctor Rita Walker Charlomagne.
Speaker 1: Now let's talk about blackness, right, because you have a
Speaker 1: chapter in the book of Racism is Bad for You, right,
Speaker 1: and you talk about the balancing act that goes along
Speaker 1: with having a black identity taking care of everyone else.
Speaker 1: You're putting the effort into being put together despite being invisible.
Speaker 1: It's found on that a little bit. Yeah, it's hard,
Speaker 1: I think for those of us who strongly identify, you know,
Speaker 1: with being black and recognizing that there are racial tensions
Speaker 1: in our society. There are consequences of being black. We've
Speaker 1: a lot of us have been socialized. You got to
Speaker 1: work twice as hard to get half as far like
Speaker 1: that over time puts a burden on us. And I
Speaker 1: do think it's one of the reasons that we see
Speaker 1: the high levels of hypertension and the high level of
Speaker 1: health problems, in part because they've been passed on, you know,
Speaker 1: so part of our families, but in part because on
Speaker 1: a day to day basis, we're struggling navigating how do
Speaker 1: I both fit in so that I can advance maybe
Speaker 1: at a job and get promoted, but also maintain my
Speaker 1: sanity and be true to who I am. And it's
Speaker 1: it's a juggling act. And meanwhile, there are folks who
Speaker 1: are being you know, taunted by the police and being killed,
Speaker 1: and so all of these stressors come together. If we're
Speaker 1: not intentional, it really starts to get to us, to
Speaker 1: wear it down. So what's your definition of meaningful blackness?
Speaker 1: On the one hand, I think that we recognize that
Speaker 1: maybe how we dress, how we carry ourselves, and the
Speaker 1: foods that we eat. Maybe, so that's a that's a
Speaker 1: level of culture that I think a lot of folks
Speaker 1: resonate with. We know, you don't put raisins in the
Speaker 1: pay of salad and things of that nature. But on
Speaker 1: the other hand, there is, like I said, digging into
Speaker 1: who we are as a people. I really do believe
Speaker 1: that that is going to be the starting point for
Speaker 1: a different just a different kind of well being, including
Speaker 1: psychological fortitude, including our businesses, entrepreneurship like everything. That when
Speaker 1: we can connect to the fact that we were some
Speaker 1: of the original creators and engineers in society, in all
Speaker 1: of society, that we have to connect to that in
Speaker 1: order to be able to turn this voat around. That's
Speaker 1: kind of thinking in a lot of ways, how do
Speaker 1: you tell people to deal with anxiety, you know, especially
Speaker 1: if you have kids and everything that's going on in
Speaker 1: this world. Yeah, well, you know, first we have to
Speaker 1: recognize where we are in our level of anxiety because
Speaker 1: not everyone is the same, right, And so one of
Speaker 1: the things that I talked about in the book, I
Speaker 1: create a psychological fortitude meter, So on a zero to ten,
Speaker 1: say zero being really very low psychological fortitude and ten
Speaker 1: being high, you know, where are we We can do
Speaker 1: the same thing with anxiety. If it's a five or higher,
Speaker 1: then we probably need to make some adjustments instead of
Speaker 1: for a lord that we can probably sit with it
Speaker 1: for a little while. But what are the adjustments that
Speaker 1: we make? We evaluate? So what about this situation is
Speaker 1: in my control? And this is where we have to
Speaker 1: just sit and be mindful, maybe talk to someone else,
Speaker 1: and then see does that work. If not, then we
Speaker 1: have to reassess to come up with another solution. Now,
Speaker 1: when you say anxiety, you know, is there really Because
Speaker 1: sometimes I try to figure out if I'm having anxiety
Speaker 1: or if I if I if I'm a caring parent,
Speaker 1: you know, like every time my son goes out and
Speaker 1: I constantly think about it, is he okay? Is that
Speaker 1: anxiety or is that now I'm just an f and
Speaker 1: parent and that's what you're supposed to feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's hard to get to that the difference between the two.
Speaker 1: Like when my kids go out, I'm fed up because
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, they're right, but I'm a parent. It is.
Speaker 1: So the thing about so anxiety is a certain amount
Speaker 1: of it's anonymous. Was worried. When you're worried gets out
Speaker 1: of hand such that you can't function, that's problematic. But
Speaker 1: when you're worried is adaptive. So we do things that
Speaker 1: are adaptive that help us to survive, and sometimes we
Speaker 1: do things that are maladaptive and don't help us to survive.
Speaker 1: So yet some people do maladaptive things. You know, they're
Speaker 1: worried about, say builds, so they drink more. That's maladaptive
Speaker 1: because drink it more isn't going to help solve the
Speaker 1: problem with the build. So I do think that, yes,
Speaker 1: with parenting, there's a certain amount of inherent worried or
Speaker 1: just paranoia. And to be honest, for good reason, and
Speaker 1: I talk about this in the book that you know,
Speaker 1: black people have to make different decisions because of it's
Speaker 1: not paranoia. If it's real, Like if we know that
Speaker 1: you're higher risk for certain kinds of problems, then we
Speaker 1: have to manage that. Now you talk about we talk
Speaker 1: about anxiety because you know, anxiety is high right now,
Speaker 1: But what about stress? What are some tools to overcome
Speaker 1: and just straight up stress? People are just stressed right now? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: well it's similar for just the anxiety and stress. Stress
Speaker 1: is basically anything that we have to deal with. What
Speaker 1: happens is sometimes to stress gets so high that we
Speaker 1: feel paralyzed and overwhelmed. We start to do some of
Speaker 1: the maladaptive things. So we first have to recognize, Okay,
Speaker 1: how high is my stress right now? Some people don't
Speaker 1: even have to ask. They know they're just overwhelmed. They
Speaker 1: don't want to get out the bed. And sometimes we
Speaker 1: need to just stay in the bed. You know, I
Speaker 1: really hope that people don't just do what they feel
Speaker 1: like they should do. And Charlomagne, you know I talk
Speaker 1: about should like I drive my students nuts. I want
Speaker 1: should to be removed from the dictionary. But if we
Speaker 1: start with where we are, I've been in the bed
Speaker 1: maybe for a week. It's really time to get out
Speaker 1: the What is it that I'm so overwhelmed by that
Speaker 1: I'm teralyzed and start to have those dialogue with ourselves.
Speaker 1: It's okay to talk to ourselves and start to write down,
Speaker 1: like I was saying earlier, like we can't just keep
Speaker 1: all these thoughts bottled up in our heads, so write
Speaker 1: them down. Sometimes we just pick up the phone and
Speaker 1: say to someone, this is what I'm going through right now. Right,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm a spiritual person, right, So now
Speaker 1: that I think about it, it's kind of like should
Speaker 1: is getting in the way of God. And what I
Speaker 1: mean by that is when the universe tells me to
Speaker 1: do something, When God tells me to do something, there's
Speaker 1: nothing that needs to happen except for me to do it.
Speaker 1: But as soon as I say should, I start questioning
Speaker 1: what what? What the spirit just told me to do?
Speaker 1: And then you question it yourself, then you might ask
Speaker 1: somebody else, and then the doubt comes in, and the
Speaker 1: anxiety comes in and the indecisiveness. So I feel like
Speaker 1: I feel like should gets in the way of God. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about that, but I can definitely. I
Speaker 1: can definitely see it because should should have layers to it, right,
Speaker 1: So should can come from society. You know, should can
Speaker 1: come from our families. Should is usually something that is
Speaker 1: external to us that we're trying to meet some demands.
Speaker 1: Whereas you know our internal voice that I do believe
Speaker 1: is connected to our higher power, you know that internal
Speaker 1: God voice. It's just more natural and people are more
Speaker 1: inclined to do what's natural than to do what they
Speaker 1: should do. And last question, today is the first day
Speaker 1: of mental Health Away in this month. What would you
Speaker 1: like to see people do during this whole month from
Speaker 1: me besides reading your book? Not what should they do?
Speaker 1: But what would you like? I love it? I love
Speaker 1: it so yeah, But I think that during this time,
Speaker 1: you know that we don't have that we are self
Speaker 1: contained on so many different levels that we take the
Speaker 1: opportunity to really find quiet time. Maybe it's going to
Speaker 1: the bathroom for ten minutes and close the door, go
Speaker 1: into a closet, ghost it outside. Take some paper and
Speaker 1: a pen. We don't even have to write complete thoughts,
Speaker 1: just write words like whatever comes to mind, so that
Speaker 1: we can start to be more introspective about what this
Speaker 1: kind means for us individually. Well, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for checking in and joining us. Than the Black Mental
Speaker 1: Health you see me holding it up. You gotta go
Speaker 1: order this. Everybody go out there and ordered this book
Speaker 1: right now. It's on Amazon, Barns and Nobles, whatever you
Speaker 1: buy books. The Unapologetic Guy, The Black Mental Health by
Speaker 1: doctor Rita Walker. It is a game change of my
Speaker 1: favorite book that I read this year, Doctor Rita. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. Thank you all.
Speaker 1: All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Thank you
Speaker 1: so much. It's about Angel on the Breakfast Club. Yes, so,
Speaker 1: I actually went on Twitter yesterday and the first thing
Speaker 1: I saw was Ja Rule. You're gonna stop at this
Speaker 1: false narrative that fifty killed me? Lmao when I went
Speaker 1: up against fifty MG unit D twelve bus at DMX,
Speaker 1: doctor Jo and FBI at the same damn time. Lmao.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. So did you get jumped? We do.
Speaker 1: I've been said that. I'm on record, JA Rule got jumped.
Speaker 1: Let's not act like Ja Rule didn't get jumped. You
Speaker 1: got jumped by fifty cent g unit all after math
Speaker 1: bust rhymes. I think I think Cheney punched them. It
Speaker 1: was one. There's a bunch of people. It was bro
Speaker 1: what a seem like everybody seemed like everybody jumped job.
Speaker 1: Some people were talking about a possible job rule in
Speaker 1: fifty cent versus Battle, and we know that can't potentially happen. Well,
Speaker 1: here's what fifty cent said while he was on with
Speaker 1: Big Boy about that even being a possibility. It would
Speaker 1: make more sense catalog watch me and Snoop, And it's
Speaker 1: just because we would definitely be able to compete everybody
Speaker 1: every step of the way. He got like five six
Speaker 1: duets Man to hit records is all him and Jeff Lopez,
Speaker 1: Him and Mary J. Blige, Shanty and Man a woman
Speaker 1: a female Heart. Yeah, I don't want to see that either.
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I think fifty raises some
Speaker 1: good points. Job does have some great records. I don't
Speaker 1: think that Job has the catalog that fifty has because
Speaker 1: fifty has a lot of big records Mainscream and he
Speaker 1: has a lot of street records that I think would
Speaker 1: ring off in the battle, and I think he could
Speaker 1: just go deeper than Jab. And that's no disrespect to
Speaker 1: joab jo joall got a lot of records, and he
Speaker 1: got a catalog too, But I just think fifties catalog
Speaker 1: is a lot bigger than I just can't see fifty
Speaker 1: playing what Up Gangster in job playing you know a
Speaker 1: record that he did with Mary. It just wouldn't match
Speaker 1: in my opinion. But y'all got records. Though it wouldn't match.
Speaker 1: But Joab got dope records. I just don't think John.
Speaker 1: I don't like saying this. I don't think Jock can
Speaker 1: goes deeper fifty. Well, fifty has the whole ge unit
Speaker 1: and then he has the game collaborations and deep fifty Charloman, Listen,
Speaker 1: you have to you have to have a long catalog
Speaker 1: in these battles. Twenty songs is a lot of songs.
Speaker 1: You have to be able to sustain for twenty records.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. I would love to see, though,
Speaker 1: that would be a going now. Fifty Cent also commented
Speaker 1: about whether or not he still would work with Takashi
Speaker 1: six nine, and here's what he said. Do you if
Speaker 1: with Takashi six nine, if he wanted to record me,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't work with him. I still just you know,
Speaker 1: this is just against the way I grew up. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess Takashi saw that and commented on social media.
Speaker 1: He said, won't be the first time fifty abandons his son.
Speaker 1: Let me just mind my business. Fifty comes from a
Speaker 1: different cloth or right, fifty comes from the street. So
Speaker 1: his screet mentality will not allow him to work with
Speaker 1: a government informant. But you know, he's absolutely right. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of kids out here that don't come from
Speaker 1: that and they won't care, right And by the way,
Speaker 1: I don't think they should. They're not in the street. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, they just here to make music. So six
Speaker 1: nine the artist is available, make music with six nine
Speaker 1: artists all right now. Lebron has announced his first ever

Speaker 1: It's not dope. It's not dope because I feel so
Speaker 1: sorry for these kids that they can't walk across that
Speaker 1: stage and they can't do their little dance today pomp
Speaker 1: and circumstance. I didn't get the march, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I graduated in night school. I chose not to march.

Speaker 1: something like this happened, and they can't even march across
Speaker 1: that stage. And like I said, my daughter, she won't
Speaker 1: get that opportunity to walk across the stage. It sucks,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. She sarted to ask for
Speaker 1: four years, and she got good grades, She got accepted
Speaker 1: into a bunch of colleges that gave her full ride,
Speaker 1: and I want to see her walk. Her grandparents want
Speaker 1: to see her walk, but I don't think it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: And this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You
Speaker 1: don't get to do this again. Noe and Tory Lanez

Speaker 1: her talk show. So Whendy responds, how she responds, and
Speaker 1: Nicky responds, how she responds, She's a rapper, have no
Speaker 1: problem with it whatsoever? All right, Well I'm angela, yea,
Speaker 1: that is your rumor reports. All right, we're gonna get
Speaker 1: that record on in a minute too. Now, Charlomagne, who
Speaker 1: giving that down? You know, your uncle Charla always tells
Speaker 1: you that the craziest people in America come from the
Speaker 1: Bronx and all of Florida. And Florida has hit us
Speaker 1: with more Florida foolishness. And we need to have a
Speaker 1: conversation about Florida foolishness because I don't think y'all really
Speaker 1: understand what Florida foolishness is. But I will explain. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This to
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning. Make sure you're telling the watch
Speaker 1: out for Florida. The craziest people in America come from
Speaker 1: the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey.
Speaker 1: Florida man attacked and ATM for a very strange reason.
Speaker 1: It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested
Speaker 1: after definitely say he rigged the board to his home
Speaker 1: and an attempt to electroc kid his current wife. Police
Speaker 1: arrested in Orlando man for talking a familia to breakfast
Speaker 1: club Bitchy Dounkey other day with Sharlom haying the gun,
Speaker 1: I don't know what y'all keep it here, get ya elected.
Speaker 1: Dunk here today for Friday, May first goes to a
Speaker 1: twenty seven year old brother named Ghetro Galen Ghetro hails
Speaker 1: from the great state of Florida. And you know what
Speaker 1: your uncle Sharla always says about Florida. The craziest people
Speaker 1: in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Now,
Speaker 1: Ghetro was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
Speaker 1: and domestic battery after he was accused of shoving a
Speaker 1: woman to the ground and threatening her with a firearm. Okay,
Speaker 1: according to an arrest after David obtained by the smoking gun,
Speaker 1: that's what it says. Now, the woman told authorities Ghetro
Speaker 1: may have stashed the weapon in his Porsche SUV. Now,
Speaker 1: first of all, if you committed a crime like this
Speaker 1: and you knew she was calling the police, because I
Speaker 1: highly doubt she didn't give him a heads up that
Speaker 1: she was calling the police. Why would you not leave
Speaker 1: the house and go stash the gun somewhere else. The
Speaker 1: fact that he just stayed there after doing this lets
Speaker 1: me know, a maybe he didn't do what he's accused of, okay,
Speaker 1: because there's always two sides to the story, and then
Speaker 1: it's the absolute truth, which she may or may not
Speaker 1: be telling RB. The guy didn't go anywhere because he
Speaker 1: suffers from what I call Florida foolishness. Okay, let me explain.
Speaker 1: You have Florida fools and you have Florida foolishness. Okay.
Speaker 1: Florida foolishness is usually the actions of a Florida fool. Okay,
Speaker 1: the act of shoving a woman to the ground sticking
Speaker 1: a gun in her face. If he actually did this,
Speaker 1: this is the act of a Florida fool. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: just what Florida fools do. But sticking around at the
Speaker 1: scene of the alleged crime until the cops come Florida foolishness.
Speaker 1: See if this is true, he doesn't think he did
Speaker 1: anything wrong. A little aggravated assault on a random Sunday,
Speaker 1: regular day for him, now as I told y'all, the
Speaker 1: woman told the cops that Ghetro probably had the gun
Speaker 1: stashed in his purse suv. And guess what she was, right,
Speaker 1: Florida foolishness. So all that is more Florida foolishness. How
Speaker 1: does this lady know exactly where you stash your weapons?
Speaker 1: And the words of Eve forty, never tell a woman
Speaker 1: all your business because she might end up being an eyewitness,
Speaker 1: especially when she's the victim of said crime. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: when cops searched the car, they found a glock twenty
Speaker 1: one pistol, a semi automatic rifle, and a bulletproof vest.
Speaker 1: Now that right there, that's just more Florida foolishness from
Speaker 1: a Florida fool. I'm not even mad at him, because
Speaker 1: I'm a two eight guy. I believe in my right
Speaker 1: to bear all the arms. In fact, I encourage you
Speaker 1: all of you to bear your arm, leg leg other
Speaker 1: arm and head at all times. But legally, people, Okay, clearly,
Speaker 1: none of these things he had on him he had
Speaker 1: on him legally, because when cops asked Ghetro takes play,
Speaker 1: he told him that the SUV wasn't even his anymore.
Speaker 1: He said, he sold it to his cousin. Would you
Speaker 1: like to know who he told the cops. His cousin's
Speaker 1: name was Sure, he told the cops his cousin's name
Speaker 1: was John. You're probably saying yourself right now, John Wick.
Speaker 1: The name sounds familiar. John Wick? Who is that? Why
Speaker 1: does that name sound familiar? Well? John Wick is a
Speaker 1: legendary assassin played by Keanu Reeves in three different movies,
Speaker 1: three films, three films that have all accumulated five hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty seven million dollars worldwide. It's a very successful franchise.
Speaker 1: In fact, Part four was scheduled to come out next
Speaker 1: year on May twenty. First. The moral of the story
Speaker 1: is John Wick is a pretty big deal. Okay, too
Speaker 1: big of a deal for you to be lying saying
Speaker 1: that the car and the weapons belong to John Wick,
Speaker 1: because that name automatically would make a police officer suspicious,
Speaker 1: especially if he's seen the movies. But even if you
Speaker 1: were going to say the car belonged to someone else,
Speaker 1: why would you pick the name of an assassin, fictional
Speaker 1: or otherwise? Why would you pick the name of a
Speaker 1: retired hitman who was seeking revenge for the killing of
Speaker 1: a dog given to him by his dead wife. Now,
Speaker 1: I know John Wick has to be Peter's favorite person.
Speaker 1: But if I'm a cop and you tell me that
Speaker 1: your car and guns belong to a fictional hit man,
Speaker 1: in my mind, all I'm thinking is he's your inspiration.
Speaker 1: All I'm thinking is you might be a hit man.
Speaker 1: It is a semi automatic rifle. Okay. It's like getting
Speaker 1: caught with kilos of cocaine and telling cops the vehicle
Speaker 1: belongs to Tony Montana. Okay. It's like getting caught with
Speaker 1: pounds of weed and telling people the car belongs to
Speaker 1: whiz Khalifa. Okay, it simply won't work. It just sounds stupid,
Speaker 1: all right, Okay, and and and no, no, I think
Speaker 1: that back. It don't sound stupid. It sounds like Florida foolishness. Okay. Now,
Speaker 1: Ghetro is being held in the county jail on thirty
Speaker 1: five hundred dollar bonn and no word on whether or
Speaker 1: not Andy the Beagle or the unnamed pitball he picked
Speaker 1: up in john Wick Part three are coming to bail him. Mountain.
Speaker 1: Please give Ghetro gleen from Florida. The sweet sounds of
Speaker 1: the Hamletones. Oh no, you are the dogee of the
Speaker 1: damn do gee. Oh the day Now, I think today
Speaker 1: is a good day to play a game of chess.
Speaker 1: What race day? Yes? Yes. His name is Getro Gallen
Speaker 1: is from Port Saint Lucy, Florida. He allegedly shoved a
Speaker 1: woman to the ground, put a gun to her face,
Speaker 1: and didn't leave when the cops came. And when the
Speaker 1: cops came, he told them he was or the car
Speaker 1: belonged to John Wick E j Envy jess what race? Yes? Black?
Speaker 1: Why did you say that with just such conviction you
Speaker 1: don't even think about it? Why? I mean? He want
Speaker 1: to be honest. Florida guns cousin named John Wick. John
Speaker 1: was like a white Hyman because now, like he said,
Speaker 1: Nino Brown. True. But I was thinking, like if you
Speaker 1: like you can't think of a name, you just think
Speaker 1: of John Wick. I don't. I don't know. I just
Speaker 1: I just feel like I just just it's just black
Speaker 1: on my tongue of course. Wow. Wow, Okay, who woke kanky? Okay, Angelie,
Speaker 1: all right, Angelie. His name is Getro Gleen. He's from
Speaker 1: Port Saint Lucy, Florida. Allegedly shoved a woman on the ground,
Speaker 1: put a gun to her face, didn't leave, and when
Speaker 1: the cops came, he told them he was John Wick. Yes,
Speaker 1: what well, I just want to point out that earlier
Speaker 1: you did a story about someone named Tupac Shakur, Right,
Speaker 1: so there could be somebody named John Wick. Yes, maybe right?
Speaker 1: So maybe he does have a cousin named John Wick.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm gonna have to say that
Speaker 1: he is African American. What makes you say that? What
Speaker 1: makes you say? We have great imaginations? M okay, well,
Speaker 1: h Sadly both of you are correct. Rule is absolutely
Speaker 1: African American. I don't want to talk about this anymore,
Speaker 1: No me neither. That's said. Damn it man. All right, well,
Speaker 1: thank you for that donkey of the day. All right now,
Speaker 1: when we come back, let's let's open up the phone
Speaker 1: lines eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.
Speaker 1: Now Jada Pinkett Smith, she said, what now? Ye? Well,
Speaker 1: on Red Table Talk, you know, everybody's talking about being quarantined,
Speaker 1: and she's quarantined with her husband, Will Smith, and she's
Speaker 1: saying that she doesn't even know him. Listen to this.
Speaker 1: I don't know Will at all. I really feel. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you I feel like there's a layer that
Speaker 1: you get to. Life gets busy, and you create these
Speaker 1: stories in your head, and then you hold on to
Speaker 1: these stories and that is your idea of your partner.
Speaker 1: But that's not who your partner is. The thing that
Speaker 1: Will and are learning to do is be friends. So
Speaker 1: Will and are in the process of him taking the
Speaker 1: time to learn to love him himself, me taking the
Speaker 1: time to learn to love myself right in us building
Speaker 1: a friendship along the way. So they've been married twenty
Speaker 1: some our years, she said, and I realized I don't
Speaker 1: know you and you don't know me. I wonder what
Speaker 1: that came from, though, because that had to come from something,
Speaker 1: a situation and argument, something that happened, like like what
Speaker 1: made her feel that way. I'm just curious. Eight hundred.
Speaker 1: They probably spending more time together than they probably ever have,
Speaker 1: both of them, I mean, in a long time. Both
Speaker 1: of them have very busy schedules. Will is always on
Speaker 1: the set of something shooting. Jade is always working. So
Speaker 1: now they actually just have, you know, time to be
Speaker 1: around each other, and they're probably looking at each other
Speaker 1: like damn you've changed, and damn you've changed, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people are going through this. You know, they
Speaker 1: were talking to Pastor John Gray and his wife. I've
Speaker 1: answered her about the new dynamics of couples during the quarantine,
Speaker 1: so this whole topic came up. Yeah, so that is
Speaker 1: a good question. The eight hundred five eighty five one
Speaker 1: oh five one. And have you realized something knew about
Speaker 1: your partner, Charlomagne? Have you? Um? I gotta think about it.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I have though. All right, we'll talk
Speaker 1: me about it when we come back. I want to
Speaker 1: hear from you. You two ye and I don't move.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. God morning, phone call in right
Speaker 1: now at your opinion to the Breakfast Club, top breaking down.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one, the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. It's topic time. The phone called eight hundred
Speaker 1: five eight five one oh five. Want to join it
Speaker 1: to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. Now if you just joined us,
Speaker 1: we're talking about Jada Pinkett Smith and her relationship with
Speaker 1: her husband. She says during the quarantine, she realized she
Speaker 1: just doesn't know do we have audios played the audio.
Speaker 1: I don't know Will at all. I really feel let
Speaker 1: me tell you, I feel like there's a way that
Speaker 1: you get to right. Life gets busy and you create
Speaker 1: these stories in your head and then you hold onto
Speaker 1: these stories, and that is your idea of your partner.
Speaker 1: But that's not who your partner is. The thing that
Speaker 1: Will and are learning to do is be friends. So
Speaker 1: Will and are in the process of him taking the
Speaker 1: time to learn to love himself, me taking the time
Speaker 1: to learn to love myself right in us building a
Speaker 1: friendship along the way, all right? So eight hundred five
Speaker 1: eighty five one oh five one way asking, did you
Speaker 1: find out some things about your your spouse you didn't
Speaker 1: know before? Maybe you just don't know your husband or
Speaker 1: just don't know your wife. Eight hundred five eighty five
Speaker 1: one oh five one Charlemagne, have you found out some
Speaker 1: things about your wife you didn't know? Now? I haven't
Speaker 1: learned anything new because I realized the long time ago
Speaker 1: that you have to continue to grow with your partner.
Speaker 1: And when you've been with someone almost twenty three years
Speaker 1: like I have, then you have to constantly meet the
Speaker 1: new version of the person that you grew in love with.
Speaker 1: You know, people aren't supposed to be the same mentally,
Speaker 1: spirit and emotionally like emotionally like, we're supposed to evolve
Speaker 1: because you are absolutely not the same person you were
Speaker 1: when you were teenagers. You're not the same people you
Speaker 1: were when you were in your twenties. So I think
Speaker 1: you always have to grow in love with the person
Speaker 1: someone is now, Like we're often still in love with
Speaker 1: the person someone was, but if that person evolves and grows,
Speaker 1: you may not like that new version of a person.
Speaker 1: So what I like to do is, you know, just always,
Speaker 1: you know, reconnect with my wife, you know, reconnect with
Speaker 1: my queen, like whether it's watching the show together, Like
Speaker 1: if something that she may be into or something I
Speaker 1: see her really interested in, I get involved as well,
Speaker 1: and and vice versa. Just so we always have something
Speaker 1: that connects us, you know, Like my wife is a
Speaker 1: personal trainer. She lives a healthy lifestyle, so fitness and
Speaker 1: healthy lifestyle is something that always connects us. We both
Speaker 1: read a lot of books and it's usually things in
Speaker 1: the wellness space, so I share with her, she shares
Speaker 1: with me. So we always are constantly growing to love
Speaker 1: the people that we are becoming in our old age. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I haven't learned anything new. If you listen to my
Speaker 1: podcast with my wife or you know, you know that
Speaker 1: we are like on top of each other all the time,
Speaker 1: and not because we have to, because we want to
Speaker 1: be uh you know, my wife is always with me,
Speaker 1: So this is like this quarantine has been great because
Speaker 1: it allows us to spend even more time. So this
Speaker 1: has been wonderful for me. So it's nothing that popped
Speaker 1: out that says, oh I learned this or I don't
Speaker 1: know this. No, it's it's pretty much just what we've
Speaker 1: been doing more and more and more. So there's nothing
Speaker 1: that I learned now. Yeah, I know your your boyfriend
Speaker 1: is not away from each other. I can't wait till
Speaker 1: we can travel again. So I'm not in the same boat.
Speaker 1: I will say, though I don't really mind. Like I've
Speaker 1: been working so much, so it hasn't been too bad.
Speaker 1: Like we talk on the phone all the time, but
Speaker 1: it's obviously different than being in person. Now it's great
Speaker 1: for me. I mean even a zoom call. She's with
Speaker 1: me when I do my zoom like she's We're always
Speaker 1: around each other, so it's it's wonderful to me. You know,
Speaker 1: you said something in v and that's very true, even
Speaker 1: though it doesn't have to be in podcast for him.
Speaker 1: The reason, you know, you and your wife are constantly
Speaker 1: probably growing to love each other every other you know,
Speaker 1: every other year or whatever it is, because y'all do
Speaker 1: talk every week. Every week, y'all take a dedicated time
Speaker 1: to sit down and speak. You know, you don't have
Speaker 1: to have a podcast to do that, but it's just
Speaker 1: the fact that y'all are communicating every single week, and
Speaker 1: you have to do that because that's when you missed stuff.
Speaker 1: You missed stuff when you're not talking to a person, correct,
Speaker 1: I mean correct, Yeah, because even during this podcast, you know,
Speaker 1: I find things about myself, like I'm a right fighter,
Speaker 1: meaning sometimes I argue in fight to win and not
Speaker 1: argue in fight to understand or to have a conversation.
Speaker 1: And that's something that you are always do. Yeah, you've
Speaker 1: been a light fighter. We've been trying to tell you
Speaker 1: all that life in bage rage. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: We know that I definitely a life fighting, but you
Speaker 1: would say something that's not even true to win a fight.
Speaker 1: I've done it before you. Yes, I'm working on myself
Speaker 1: that's life fighting. That's why I saw life skin guys
Speaker 1: fights right up? Lie sometimes yeah, you know, like yeah,
Speaker 1: you know when I get my period it really bathers me. No,
Speaker 1: it's not that bad. I'm like, how do you know?
Speaker 1: Because I used to get mine too, and I'd be like, no,
Speaker 1: you didn't. How do you know? How do you know
Speaker 1: if I got my period or not? Yes, but I'm
Speaker 1: working on myself during this quarantine to make sure that
Speaker 1: I'm not a right fighter anymore. Okay, all right, let's

Speaker 1: the Space Jam two movie that I know you guys
Speaker 1: are excited to see. It's called space Jam a New Legacy.
Speaker 1: And he revealed that by wearing a hat with the
Speaker 1: logo entitle for that sequel. Everybody was just calling it
Speaker 1: space Jam too, so now we know what it's called,
Speaker 1: all right. Eminem was a victim of a home invasion.
Speaker 1: He had a pretty scary encounter. Imagine this. It's his
Speaker 1: house that is outside of Detroite, and apparently a guy
Speaker 1: named Matthew David Hughes made it past the security guard
Speaker 1: that was outside of Eminem's house. His house is also
Speaker 1: inside of a gated community. The guy smashed the kitchen window,
Speaker 1: climbed in the house, and then he was face to
Speaker 1: face with Eminem. So Eminem had to get his other
Speaker 1: security who then took him down and called the police.
Speaker 1: They should have shot him straight up right then and there.
Speaker 1: That's what listen, that's what that's what guns are about. Right.
Speaker 1: You're right to bear arms to protect your household, to
Speaker 1: protect your home. You're breaking somebody's house like that, you
Speaker 1: deserve what you get. He should have gotten shot, But
Speaker 1: I would say that they didn't shoot him. He might
Speaker 1: have had problems and thank god they didn't kill him
Speaker 1: because he wasn't It doesn't seem like he was a
Speaker 1: violent threat. And he might just have some problems. And
Speaker 1: there's people out there whip problems. So I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: everybody's I'm alution. I might say kill him, Why do y'all?
Speaker 1: I didn't say kill him, I said shoot him, all right. Well,
Speaker 1: even to shooting him, it's not a solution, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. They shot them, they subdue them, they
Speaker 1: have security, They were able to say they were able,
Speaker 1: They were able to take him down and it worked out.
Speaker 1: You might have problems, and I'm with you there, but
Speaker 1: real story, yes broke. The women just wanted to have
Speaker 1: a face to face with him and them security will sleep.
Speaker 1: Am confronted him and had m had to yell for
Speaker 1: the security and no seconds and could have been dead.
Speaker 1: You will correct stop. But this guy also might have
Speaker 1: had some mental health problems. That's what it seems like
Speaker 1: you're breaking into somebody. We don't have want Did he
Speaker 1: have a did he have a gun? There's no bigger
Speaker 1: mental health advocate than me out here in these streets.
Speaker 1: But if you break in somebody's house in that moment,
Speaker 1: you will get what you deserve. Come on, man, you're
Speaker 1: in there with your kids. You don't know what I agreed,
Speaker 1: but in this situation, it didn't. And thank god, because
Speaker 1: this person could have a mental you know, mental health
Speaker 1: is people don't necessarily might not know what they're doing.
Speaker 1: They might think what they're doing is the right thing
Speaker 1: to do. I mean, thank god, thank god nothing happened
Speaker 1: to him, but he should have been shot. All you
Speaker 1: would shoot toobody came in your house like that. Kenya
Speaker 1: Barris is opening up about the show that he has
Speaker 1: out now Black af He was talking to Ti on
Speaker 1: his Expeditious Le podcast, And there's some people who don't
Speaker 1: like the show. Clearly, Charlomagne, you've been an open critic
Speaker 1: about the show. Don't like the show, and Kenya says
Speaker 1: that he has people who like it in people who
Speaker 1: don't like it. Listen to this. People call me like
Speaker 1: this is my favorite show. People call him and said
Speaker 1: I hate this. I won't speaker on Rashida because she
Speaker 1: has her own play, but I will say this for her,
Speaker 1: She's the only person I ever wanted to do that
Speaker 1: that role. The one thing I will say in terms
Speaker 1: of the colorism models, I'm this is based on my family.
Speaker 1: This she's playing a version of my wife who's biracial.
Speaker 1: My kids, Rashida and I could produce looks like those kids.
Speaker 1: Listen to the whole podcast after so did I. Yes,
Speaker 1: and he also discusses, you know, just even people right now,
Speaker 1: black people just getting money for the first time and
Speaker 1: not coming from wealth and just needing some time to
Speaker 1: adjust to things. Listen to this. We're slowly learning less
Speaker 1: is more, and so most of us who have any
Speaker 1: type of success, this is first generation everything we're learning.
Speaker 1: We're learning on the spot. Give me a second to
Speaker 1: learn I'm not supposed to rin my car out because
Speaker 1: the stocks make it ride the way as supposed to draw.
Speaker 1: Give me a second before I learn that. Give me
Speaker 1: a second before I learn there's times when you can
Speaker 1: tuck your chain. Let me have my moment. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and I'm understanding. I'm starting to understand
Speaker 1: financial literacy as we all are. So he also said
Speaker 1: it is a reflection of his own family, and he
Speaker 1: discusses finding out that he was getting well, the story
Speaker 1: about him getting divorce actually coming out on his birthday.
Speaker 1: Listen to this pipe. Somehow, some way it got announced
Speaker 1: all my birthday. I don't know that my divorce is
Speaker 1: people care about me getting divorced. I'm not anybody, and
Speaker 1: especially at that point, and all of a sudden it's
Speaker 1: in the papers. As I'm getting off a plane coming
Speaker 1: from Atlanta, I have my wife calling me. I have
Speaker 1: my daughter, who's, you know, a sophomore in usc calling me.
Speaker 1: I had a daughter who's a senior in high school
Speaker 1: calling me because her friends are talking about it. And Mike,
Speaker 1: it's a different world than I ever expected. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to experience it with the audience in real charm. So Yeah.
Speaker 1: Amongst other things, he talks about watching The Cosby Show
Speaker 1: and not seeing Cliff and Claire ever argue, and he said,
Speaker 1: if you look at sitcoms and our stories were supposed
Speaker 1: to be okay, but fifty two percent of marriages don't work.
Speaker 1: And the notion of understanding. We didn't know about therapy,
Speaker 1: just a lot of different things. He said, there's other
Speaker 1: people out there like me, So yeah, I'm sure that
Speaker 1: it is. But once again, I think Black AF is
Speaker 1: like white people doing a bad impression of black people.
Speaker 1: And I think all of them have been in Hollywood
Speaker 1: way too long if they think that's how black people
Speaker 1: act on the regular. And I know we're not monolithic,
Speaker 1: but if I met black people like the people that
Speaker 1: saw on Black AF, I would think they were were
Speaker 1: all a bunch of a holes. And then, by the way,
Speaker 1: if you'd just set the show up in the context
Speaker 1: that he explained on tr show, I probably would understand
Speaker 1: the show more. Now I know why you are a hole.
Speaker 1: You'll remember married with children. Yeah, we knew why al
Speaker 1: Bundy was a dysfunctional loser who talked to his kids
Speaker 1: and his wife like that, and why they both to
Speaker 1: him like that. They didn't set Kenya's character up like that,
Speaker 1: not at all. Not to mention a minute. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: watch it this weekend, man. I guess it's kind of
Speaker 1: supposed to be like Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Speaker 1: You know that he was the person that created Seinfeld,
Speaker 1: just like you know Kenya Barris is the person who
Speaker 1: created Blackish, and so it's supposed to pick up from
Speaker 1: there and based on his real life after the show,
Speaker 1: and I feel like that's kind of what this is
Speaker 1: supposed to be. Also, So if you're not familiar with
Speaker 1: his history, then you might not get it. But if
Speaker 1: you do know who he is, then I guess you
Speaker 1: have some understanding, just like you didn't really know much
Speaker 1: about Larry David until Curb your Enthusiasm. Yeah, but it's
Speaker 1: just a second rate version of Blackish, like topics that
Speaker 1: they did on Blackish, they do on black Yef like
Speaker 1: Blackish did a June teen episode, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And I get it now because Blackish is about a
Speaker 1: mixed woman. You know, his wife is mixed in real life,
Speaker 1: based on his real life. Yeah, but it's it's just
Speaker 1: a whack show. Key though. He's very talented, but the
Speaker 1: show is one. I'm gonna check it out, all right. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you for that rum of report. Now when we
Speaker 1: come back, we got the People's Choice mix. Now revote.
Speaker 1: We'll see you guys on Monday. Everybody else, I mean,
Speaker 1: Drake's album release came out today, so let's do a
Speaker 1: throwback Drake Mix. Let me know your favorite Drake joint?

Speaker 1: Joe Biden? Ye? Well, he was accused of sexually assaulting
Speaker 1: a former eight of his back in nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 1: He's been calling on the National Archives to release any
Speaker 1: document that is related to those allegations, and today he
Speaker 1: is denying those allegations. He's kept a pretty low profile
Speaker 1: about it. He hasn't been doing too much during this
Speaker 1: coronavirus or doing any interviews, and the ones that he
Speaker 1: has done it hasn't come up. So now he is
Speaker 1: speaking out about it. He was on MSNBC's Morning Joe,

Speaker 1: assault terror? Read No, it is not true. I'm saying
Speaker 1: on it quivocally, it never never happened, and it didn't
Speaker 1: it never happened. You know, this is a tricky situation.
Speaker 1: I hate situations like this because we know that these
Speaker 1: very real issues are being weaponized for political purposes. You know,
Speaker 1: whether there's allegations against Trump when he's running, allegations against
Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh and he's about to be appointed to the Senate,
Speaker 1: allegations against Bill Clinton from Trump when Hillary is running.
Speaker 1: Now old sexual allegations against Joe Biden, Like, things like
Speaker 1: rape and sexual assault should never be weaponized against people.
Speaker 1: These are real issues women go through and they should
Speaker 1: be not they should not be used to take people down,
Speaker 1: because seriously, how can you take these allegations seriously? When
Speaker 1: we see things like this all the time, when people
Speaker 1: are running for these positions of power, like it just
Speaker 1: it just looks so fishy, and it's just it's just
Speaker 1: not good to weaponize those real issues. Man. According to Biden,
Speaker 1: he's saying that nobody else during his time as a
Speaker 1: senator in Delaware was aware of any of these, so
Speaker 1: I don't know. He says, there's no paperwork. He wants
Speaker 1: them to release paperwork, so we should see what happens now.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump had spoken on this too yesterday, right, he said,
Speaker 1: I think that you should respond. He said it could
Speaker 1: be false allegations, and then Donald Trump compared it to
Speaker 1: himself having had quote false allegations. We have Joe audio
Speaker 1: of Joe Biden here. Why limit this only to terror read?
Speaker 1: Why not release any complaints that it may had been
Speaker 1: made against you during your senate career. I'm prepared to
Speaker 1: do that. The best of my knowledge, has been no
Speaker 1: complaints made against me in terms of my senate career.
Speaker 1: And turns my office and they spen, Ryan. Look, it's
Speaker 1: just an open book. There's nothing for me to hide.
Speaker 1: What the hell Joe Biden did he have? Did he
Speaker 1: have a scroke mid sentence? Let's listen play that part again.
Speaker 1: They spen, Ryan, bro. I need that over, Missy work
Speaker 1: it immediately. Okay, Dan, what that over? Missy? Work it
Speaker 1: right now. I want to hear it. I want to
Speaker 1: hear what it sounds like. Let's go, God, damn it,
Speaker 1: that's Joe, mister Meana Biden, stop it, damn put oh
Speaker 1: put that in HD. What's the thing? What we got
Speaker 1: was the thing called normalized put could try. He's really
Speaker 1: trying to get the youthful. He knows youngsters like mumble rappers,
Speaker 1: so he wants to be a mumble president. Joe, mister
Speaker 1: Meana Biden, baby, could you walk out to that on stage.
Speaker 1: You have to start leaning into this. Bro doesn't know
Speaker 1: what he said. If he doesn't lean into it, people
Speaker 1: gonna think that he is really having cognitive issues, which
Speaker 1: he may or may not be having. So what he
Speaker 1: needs to do is just say, look, people like mumble rappers.
Speaker 1: I want to be a mumble president. Do something with
Speaker 1: the megoes. You know what I'm saying. You know what, No,
Speaker 1: don't do not with the megase. I can understand the
Speaker 1: megals perfectly, I can't understand Joe buddy. Now, as far
Speaker 1: as Terry read, she has comments about it too. She said,
Speaker 1: it was really devastating when Jilla Brand and Stacy Abrams
Speaker 1: and Hillary Clinton all on the same day just basically
Speaker 1: implied my story wasn't true and they believed Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: I can't describe to you what that felt like, she said.
Speaker 1: She is a lifelong Democrat, and in particular she's a
Speaker 1: fan of Stacy Abrams. She said I'm just done. They
Speaker 1: didn't just say, oh, we're standing with Joe Biden until
Speaker 1: we hear more. They just discounted me. They marginalized me.
Speaker 1: They said they didn't believe me. I can't tell you
Speaker 1: I cried for a while because they're important in my life.
Speaker 1: They've been figures that I look up to. So that
Speaker 1: is what Terry Read is saying. By the way, you're
Speaker 1: entitled to believe whoever you want to believe. They believe
Speaker 1: Joe Biden didn't do it. They have every right to
Speaker 1: say that, you know. But like I said, it just
Speaker 1: looks crazy because we can tell as being weaponized for
Speaker 1: political purposes. Because if it was the shoe on the
Speaker 1: other foot, which has been we've seen it a million times,
Speaker 1: whether it was Donald Trump, Bret Kavanaugh, they believed old woman.
Speaker 1: And now Terry Read, do you know what the accusation
Speaker 1: is Joe Biden of digitally penetrating her in the Senate
Speaker 1: hallway when she was a staff assistant in his Senate
Speaker 1: office back in ninety three. She said she did file
Speaker 1: a Senate personnel report at the time. She also says
Speaker 1: that she told others in the office about the incident
Speaker 1: and was removed from her duty of overseeing the interns,
Speaker 1: and according to the Biden campaign, they're saying this incident
Speaker 1: did not happen. In three former Senate aids, all of
Speaker 1: whom Tara Read said she complained too directly at the
Speaker 1: time about the assault. He said they don't remember any
Speaker 1: such complaint or that it did not take place. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what if there is a complaint on
Speaker 1: paperwork and Joe Biden is saying that it's not that
Speaker 1: he doesn't know anything about it, that's gonna look bad.
Speaker 1: But truth to the matter is nobody's gonna care because
Speaker 1: it's an election year and there's two choices and people
Speaker 1: have picked a side. Like there's there's no bigger side
Speaker 1: pickers than politicians. Politicians are bigger sidepickers than gang bangers.
Speaker 1: You know, whatever crew you think you down with your
Speaker 1: day an got nothing on politicians. Democrats are gonna be
Speaker 1: die hard blue, Republicans are gonna be die hard red,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna ride with their guy or gal whether
Speaker 1: they write wrong or indifferent. That's just I hope we
Speaker 1: find out, we find out if he did do it
Speaker 1: or I mean, there's no way to find out if
Speaker 1: he did do it. But if she did write up
Speaker 1: that paperwork or whatever or report that, I mean, that
Speaker 1: definitely is proof that we can see that it happened.
Speaker 1: But that's just a complaint. That's just an allegation. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You still can't prove it actually happen.
Speaker 1: That's true. That's that's the sad part about these situations.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we got the positive note. Dope move.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now,
Speaker 1: you guys have a great weekend. It's supposed to be

Speaker 1: up the state parks, so this is all on the
Speaker 1: East coast. The weather is supposed to be beautiful hopefully
Speaker 1: by you just enjoy it and just try to relax
Speaker 1: a little bit. Man. It seems like they're opening up
Speaker 1: this country slowly but surely, but still be safe out there.
Speaker 1: Word and listen, man. I want everybody to please go
Speaker 1: out there and get doctor Rita Walker's book. It came
Speaker 1: out the day, Um you know it is mental health awareness.
Speaker 1: Muffin to read. A Walker has dropped a book that
Speaker 1: is a must read. It's called The Unapologetic Guy, The
Speaker 1: Black Mental Health and I want to give you a
Speaker 1: gym from this book. First of all, I want to
Speaker 1: thank her for coming on the show Zooming in with
Speaker 1: Us earlier, but also I want to give you a
Speaker 1: gym from the book because this is in regards to
Speaker 1: what you can do if someone thinks death seems like
Speaker 1: the best in the pain. She said, it's three things
Speaker 1: you can do to help a person in that position.
Speaker 1: Assume that you can help, be a good listener, and
Speaker 1: cancel your judgments. And that's the most important one I
Speaker 1: want to read. You cannot be helpful if you're being
Speaker 1: judgmental asking why a person feels that way. Are trying
Speaker 1: to convince that person that things aren't so bad. I
Speaker 1: can't imagine a scenario. And what your personal personal values
Speaker 1: would help other people's judgment is exactly why that person
Speaker 1: does not talk about their problems. If you know that
Speaker 1: you like to judge people and tell them how to feel,
Speaker 1: revisit the previous bullet point. Be a good listener, I'm
Speaker 1: telling you the Unapologetic Guy to Black Mental Health. It
Speaker 1: is a great, great read. Everybody in America should own it.
Speaker 1: You will be able to understand your mental health better
Speaker 1: as a black person, and if you're not black, you
Speaker 1: will understand the mental health of black people better. So
Speaker 1: go grab that book by doctor Read A Walker, The
Speaker 1: Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health. Breakfast clubs you'll finish,
Speaker 1: or y'all dune
