- 4:01Speaker 1: There were phone calls from employees and people at the
- 4:04Speaker 1: mall who just basically had to stay there. I gotta
- 4:08Speaker 1: be scary Christmas shopping and all of a sudden, shelter
- 4:10Speaker 1: in place. You know, you hear a gunshot on't they
- 4:12Speaker 1: tell you something? Everybody gets scared. Now they don't know
- 4:13Speaker 1: if it's an active shooter. Or if it's a bee
- 4:16Speaker 1: for is somebody just trying to kill them? And then
- 4:18Speaker 1: you gotta stay in them all anybody, And then you
- 4:19Speaker 1: gotta stay in them all and you don't know what's
- 4:21Speaker 1: going on. That's that's scary as hell. The injured person
- 4:23Speaker 1: was airlifted to a local hospital and it is in
- 4:25Speaker 1: stable condition. But there was a lot of chaos in
- 4:27Speaker 1: the mall at the time of the shooting, and that's
- 4:29Speaker 1: when they sheltered that. That's when they issued that shelter
- 4:32Speaker 1: in place order. And if you don't know what happened,
- 4:33Speaker 1: you're in a whole another store, and then they lock
- 4:35Speaker 1: everything down and tell you you can't leave. Are you scanned?
- 4:38Speaker 1: And especially if you go to the mall, like I
- 4:40Speaker 1: go to the mall sometimes, and you know, my older
- 4:42Speaker 1: kids will go one way. I go the other way,
- 4:44Speaker 1: and then they shelter in place. I gotta na. I
- 4:45Speaker 1: can't shelter me in place. Anything you want to do
- 4:47Speaker 1: is get out. Yeah, I gotta find my kids. Or
- 4:49Speaker 1: if my wife going to one store, I go on
- 4:50Speaker 1: another store. Na, I gotta find my wife. All right? Now,
- 4:53Speaker 1: Christmas trees, are you get anyone? I have mine up already, Okay,
- 4:58Speaker 1: and I've never had a real tree, never ever, always
- 5:01Speaker 1: a fake tree. So did you know that roughly forty
- 5:03Speaker 1: percent of the nation's Christmas tree supply comes from one place. Yeah,
- 5:06Speaker 1: I heard it. Heard it as a shortage right from
- 5:08Speaker 1: our hunt. Yeah, there's a shortage right now. So they're
- 5:10Speaker 1: struggling after trees were burned by the heat. There's a
- 5:14Speaker 1: dwindling supply and an increase in prices as well. So
- 5:18Speaker 1: just giving you all the heads up in case you're
- 5:20Speaker 1: trying to get your Christmas tree and you're wondering what's
- 5:22Speaker 1: going on. Yeah, I've never had a real tree for
- 5:24Speaker 1: two reasons. One, I always used to see the videos
- 5:27Speaker 1: of the trees catching on fire, so my parents never
- 5:29Speaker 1: won in one. And also, I mean, we have a tree,
- 5:31Speaker 1: and then we could use that tree for ten twelve years,
- 5:33Speaker 1: so we just kept a tree. My dad gets a
- 5:35Speaker 1: tree and then returns it. I think it's a like
- 5:39Speaker 1: home depot. You could do that or something, Papa, Ye,
- 5:42Speaker 1: why dad, do not play? He will save a dollar
- 5:45Speaker 1: all right. In six states right now account for more
- 5:47Speaker 1: than half of the country's recent COVID hospitalizations. Those are Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania,
- 5:52Speaker 1: New York and Illinois. So while these states make up
- 5:55Speaker 1: thirty five percent of the population, among states with increasing
- 5:57Speaker 1: COVID hospitalizations, they make up sixty percent of the added beds,
- 6:01Speaker 1: and in Michigan they have the highest share of new
- 6:04Speaker 1: hospitalizations when adjected for population. They said three out of
- 6:07Speaker 1: four COVID patients in Michigan are unvaccinated. According to a
- 6:11Speaker 1: public information officer at the Michigan Department of Health, unvaccinated
- 6:14Speaker 1: people make up eighty seven percent of COVID patients who
- 6:17Speaker 1: are in ICU in the state. And they said that
- 6:21Speaker 1: we shouldn't be as worried about the Amara Cron variant,
- 6:24Speaker 1: we should be more worried about the delta variant. Right Well,
- 6:27Speaker 1: delta variants still makes up over ninety nine percent of
- 6:29Speaker 1: the cases right now, So I'm a crown as new.
- 6:32Speaker 1: But they are saying that it's more highly transmissible but
- 6:35Speaker 1: not as dangerous, and why they shut down the whole
- 6:38Speaker 1: country and traveling back and forth. It's not as dangerous. Well,
- 6:41Speaker 1: I think they still don't want you to get it,
- 6:42Speaker 1: because you gotta think right now, as the time people
- 6:44Speaker 1: are getting the flu, they're getting sick for other reasons,
- 6:46Speaker 1: and it's still too early to tell, so you would
- 6:48Speaker 1: rather make sure that you get it under control than not. Okay,

- 14:03Speaker 1: for Nick Cannon and Alyssa Scott. They have a five
- 14:06Speaker 1: month old son, Zen, and he has passed away from
- 14:10Speaker 1: brain cancer. Nick Cannon did go on his daytime show
- 14:14Speaker 1: to talk about the news of what happened. Now Here
- 14:18Speaker 1: he is describing the symptoms that Zen had. I always
- 14:21Speaker 1: noticed he had like a little felt like a sinus thing.
- 14:23Speaker 1: It was like a call. By the time he was
- 14:25Speaker 1: two months old, I noticed, like, you got it, like
- 14:27Speaker 1: a nice size head. But I really wanted to, you know,
- 14:30Speaker 1: take him to the doctor to get the breathing and
- 14:33Speaker 1: the sinus things checked out. So we thought it would
- 14:34Speaker 1: be a routine process, and we found out that he
- 14:40Speaker 1: had another condition where it was fluid that was building
- 14:44Speaker 1: up in his head. And when we found out it
- 14:46Speaker 1: was more of a malignant tumor, and so immediately we
- 14:49Speaker 1: had to have surgery as brain surgery. We put a
- 14:51Speaker 1: shunt in his head, and we were hoping for the
- 14:53Speaker 1: best while I was Zen's health did take a turn
- 14:57Speaker 1: for the worst. That happened around Thanksgiving. Here year is
- 15:00Speaker 1: describing that. So Thanksgiving we had an interesting turn and
- 15:06Speaker 1: it was cancer in the brain and the tumor beginning
- 15:10Speaker 1: to grow a lot faster, and so we knew that
- 15:15Speaker 1: the time was so this weekend, you know, I made
- 15:21Speaker 1: a valid effort to spend the most quality time I
- 15:25Speaker 1: could spend with Zin and after the last holding my
- 15:32Speaker 1: son for the last time. But it was still it
- 15:36Speaker 1: was a beautiful setting. I couldn't imagine. Man. I prayed
- 15:40Speaker 1: for Nick and his family and and I mean, it's
- 15:43Speaker 1: it's nothing worse than losing your child, you know. And
- 15:47Speaker 1: baby was five and a half months. You know, you're thinking,
- 15:50Speaker 1: you're praying for the best, and you're hoping that everything
- 15:54Speaker 1: is going to work out. You're praying for strength. Are
- 15:56Speaker 1: years talking about that. I was always talking about you
- 15:58Speaker 1: don't just go through, which grow through what you keep pushing,
- 16:02Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And I have so much
- 16:03Speaker 1: faith in the Lord. I have so much faith in God.
- 16:06Speaker 1: And you know, people were often telling me y'all should
- 16:08Speaker 1: pray for miracles, and I did pray for the miracle.
- 16:10Speaker 1: I pray for the miracle of God's strength. And that's
- 16:12Speaker 1: why I'm here with you guys today, because I know
- 16:16Speaker 1: he puts the most and heaviest weight on the shoulders
- 16:19Speaker 1: of his strongest soldiers. So I'm here to show that
- 16:21Speaker 1: I can fight through this. I'm feeling it, I'm vulnerable,
- 16:24Speaker 1: I'm open yall, y'all, but I'm gonna make it through.
- 16:28Speaker 1: And this is a special show dedicated to my beautiful sons.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Man oh Man, that is so and speaking of strength
- 16:36Speaker 1: for him to be able to go to work and
- 16:38Speaker 1: do his show and discuss this and share this, and
- 16:41Speaker 1: I'm sure that there's other people who may have had
- 16:43Speaker 1: experiences that touched them in particular that that was relatable.
- 16:48Speaker 1: And he said he's always an open book, so in
- 16:50Speaker 1: this situation, he wanted to make sure that he shared
- 16:52Speaker 1: what was going on in his life. And he also
- 16:55Speaker 1: did have grief counselors on the show. He had doctor
- 16:58Speaker 1: Laura Berman, and he had grief expert David Kessler. And
- 17:02Speaker 1: here he is talking to David Kessler. One thing, I
- 17:05Speaker 1: feel like I've been struggling with is guilt. I want
- 17:08Speaker 1: to spend more time with my kids when I'm here,
- 17:10Speaker 1: I'm like, I should be with my kids when I'm
- 17:12Speaker 1: off doing anything. I mean, in other therapy sessions, I
- 17:15Speaker 1: talk about the one thing that eats at me, the
- 17:16Speaker 1: thing that keeps me up at night. It's like, I
- 17:18Speaker 1: should be doing more for my children. Guilt is a
- 17:21Speaker 1: constant companion and grief. I'm learning that. And here's the thing. Psychologically,
- 17:27Speaker 1: we're always rather guilty than helpless. So your mind wants
- 17:33Speaker 1: to find some control in an uncontrollable situation. Let me
- 17:38Speaker 1: tell you, the fact that you're in guilt you wish
- 17:42Speaker 1: you would have done more is what makes people a
- 17:45Speaker 1: good father. I think a lot of parents deal with that,
- 17:47Speaker 1: you know, not spending enough time or wanting to spend
- 17:50Speaker 1: more time. But on the other angle, you want to
- 17:52Speaker 1: make sure that you could provide that you could provide food,
- 17:54Speaker 1: You could make sure that they pay for you pay
- 17:56Speaker 1: for their high school, their college, their basketball games and
- 18:00Speaker 1: tournaments and all that. So it's it's a thin line.
- 18:02Speaker 1: But you try to play both sides. And that's why
- 18:04Speaker 1: I fly back and forth so many different times. Man,
- 18:06Speaker 1: I try to be at the kids games and the
- 18:08Speaker 1: acting classes and ballet and dance and soccer and tennis
- 18:13Speaker 1: and whatever they do in football. And you know, my
- 18:16Speaker 1: daughters play whatever I possibly can. But that that that
- 18:18Speaker 1: is guilt that you sit through all the time, is
- 18:20Speaker 1: you want to spend more time, but you also want
- 18:22Speaker 1: to make sure that financially you set them up right.
- 18:25Speaker 1: And kids aren't thinking when they're young, like, oh, he's
- 18:27Speaker 1: doing this because he's got to make money so I
- 18:28Speaker 1: could do. They're like, where is my father? That's right,
- 18:31Speaker 1: all right? So we appreciate Nick Cannon for even being
- 18:35Speaker 1: able to speak on that and to a list of
- 18:39Speaker 1: Scott another. Had to be really hard for both of
- 18:41Speaker 1: them to have to deal with this. But I'm gonna
- 18:44Speaker 1: see him later on. I'm gonna give him a big hug, man.
- 18:47Speaker 1: He does a lot for us, our people, our community.
- 18:50Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give him a big hug and tell
- 18:51Speaker 1: him we love him, man, because it's it's nothing you
- 18:54Speaker 1: can say that make him feel better, but you know
- 18:56Speaker 1: the fact that he knows that we love him and
- 18:57Speaker 1: we support him, we continue to pray for him. It's
- 19:00Speaker 1: just a start, all right. Well, that is your rumor reports. Jeez,
- 19:04Speaker 1: I know that I know that was heavy, but it
- 19:06Speaker 1: was very necessary. You know, me and my wife were
- 19:08Speaker 1: talking about that last night and it was just like,
- 19:10Speaker 1: it's just I couldn't even imagine. I couldn't be you know,
- 19:12Speaker 1: he's a strong he's a strong rubber because I couldn't
- 19:14Speaker 1: even imagine being able to function for people deal with
- 19:17Speaker 1: with with grief differently. So again, salute to Nick Cannon
- 19:20Speaker 1: and condolences to his family. Is listen man? All right,
- 19:25Speaker 1: Well we got front page news. Next. What we're talking about, Well,
- 19:27Speaker 1: let's talk about Chris Cuomo. He was fired by CNN
- 19:30Speaker 1: last Saturday, and that is for his involvement with his
- 19:33Speaker 1: brother Andrew Cuomo's sexual misconduct scandal. But we'll tell you
- 19:36Speaker 1: what's happening now with the aftermath. All right, we'll get
- 19:38Speaker 1: into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, So
- 19:41Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same. It's here,
- 19:46Speaker 1: the most star studded black western ever made the Heart
- 19:49Speaker 1: of day Fall, directed by James Samuel, alongside a killer
- 19:52Speaker 1: soundtrack that features original songs by jay Z, Kid Cutty
- 19:55Speaker 1: and Moore. Watch now on Netflix and stream the soundtrack
- 19:59Speaker 1: now on all platforms. Morning Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Guee, Charlomagne,
- 20:10Speaker 1: the guy we are to breakfast Clubleskin in some front
- 20:12Speaker 1: page news where we're starting easy. Well. Chris Klomo, he
- 20:17Speaker 1: was fired by CNN last Saturday, person involving with his
- 20:20Speaker 1: brother Andrew Chromos sexual misconduct scandal, and he also has
- 20:24Speaker 1: now lost his book deal and his severeigns. CNN released
- 20:28Speaker 1: a statement where they let everybody know that he was terminated.
- 20:31Speaker 1: Chris Komo was suspended earlier this week pending further evaluation
- 20:34Speaker 1: of new information that came to light. We retained a
- 20:37Speaker 1: respected law firm to conduct the review and have terminated
- 20:39Speaker 1: him effective immediately. Wow. Now, Chlomo released a statement saying,
- 20:44Speaker 1: the way my time ended a CNN was hard. While
- 20:46Speaker 1: I have a thick skin, I also have a family
- 20:48Speaker 1: for whom the past week has been extraordinarily difficult. So
- 20:51Speaker 1: right now I have to take a step back and
- 20:53Speaker 1: focus on what comes next. Why would he lose his
- 20:56Speaker 1: book deal while he's also facing sexual misconduct charges of
- 21:00Speaker 1: his own, and so all these things are also being
- 21:03Speaker 1: brought back to light and to light from a former
- 21:07Speaker 1: junior colleague at another network who chose to come forward
- 21:09Speaker 1: now after hearing his on air statement about his brother's scandal.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Don't that sound wow? That an accusation could get you
- 21:18Speaker 1: to lose your book deal because you figure it book
- 21:21Speaker 1: deal where you'll be able to tell your own story,
- 21:22Speaker 1: but an accusation could get you to lose it. He's
- 21:25Speaker 1: not convicted, right, and now he's not. But you know,
- 21:28Speaker 1: HarperCollins was doing his book deal. That's the publishing company,
- 21:31Speaker 1: and they announced they'll no longer be publishing his book.
- 21:34Speaker 1: It's called Deep Denial. It was supposed to come out
- 21:36Speaker 1: in the fall of twenty twenty two, and so now
- 21:39Speaker 1: they're not publishing the book anymore, all right. Chris Como
- 21:42Speaker 1: also is prepping to sue CNN for more than eighteen
- 21:46Speaker 1: million dollars and that's over the contract that they have
- 21:48Speaker 1: if they don't pay him at least what's left in
- 21:51Speaker 1: his contract that they have to do that. So he's
- 21:55Speaker 1: hired lawyers. He's preparing the father lawsuit. It was a
- 21:58Speaker 1: four year contract that he signed last year year, and
- 22:01Speaker 1: so his contract was reportedly worth six million dollars a year,
- 22:04Speaker 1: so that leads between eighteen and twenty million that he
- 22:07Speaker 1: would be old. But CNN has no intention of paying
- 22:10Speaker 1: him a Penny. So if he gets a settlement, there
- 22:13Speaker 1: would be an uproar, according to a source. But CNN
- 22:16Speaker 1: does have a standard morality cause in their contract that
- 22:19Speaker 1: if the employee does anything like that, they can be
- 22:22Speaker 1: immediately fired. Yeah, I mean that's in most people's contracts.
- 22:26Speaker 1: If you do something else side or do something, you
- 22:28Speaker 1: can't get fired. But the fact that he's fighting it,
- 22:30Speaker 1: it seems like it has to be a loophole. I'm
- 22:33Speaker 1: sure Chris Pomo got some of the best attorneys out there,
- 22:35Speaker 1: so if he's fighting, it got to be a loophole somewhere, right.
- 22:38Speaker 1: And there's also a CNN probe going on into an
- 22:41Speaker 1: unspecified sexual misconduct allegation against Chris Cuomo. They got that
- 22:45Speaker 1: just last week and that dates to his time working
- 22:48Speaker 1: for ABC News, and his spokesman has insisted that those
- 22:51Speaker 1: allegations are not true. All right, Well I'm angela ye,
- 22:56Speaker 1: and that is your front page news, all right, So

- 23:11Speaker 1: that guy who had the fake prosthetic arm and try
- 23:13Speaker 1: to get the vaccination that was his fake arm. That
- 23:17Speaker 1: was funny. It could it could be a bunch of things.

- 24:27Speaker 1: from Life Therapy and all the shows that she did,
- 24:29Speaker 1: she was on one of my favorite movies of all time,
- 24:32Speaker 1: House Party. You know, I'm surprised you said that. I
- 24:35Speaker 1: thought you was gonna say baby boy, Yeah, that too, well,
- 24:37Speaker 1: I was gonna say. Usually you see guys say baby
- 24:39Speaker 1: boy yeah, and girls say house party Yeah. House party.
- 24:43Speaker 1: You know from New York. So it was like I
- 24:46Speaker 1: grew up on that. So I want to start from
- 24:48Speaker 1: the beginning. If you don't mind, you like, how did
- 24:49Speaker 1: you get into acting? How did you get the part
- 24:51Speaker 1: in the house party party? Let's talk about it. Oh
- 24:54Speaker 1: my goodness, you don't have enough time from New Jersey, Jersey? Yeah, yeah,
- 24:58Speaker 1: well yeah, we're just about man. I went to school
- 24:59Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and the beginning was Spike Lee shooting school
- 25:03Speaker 1: days on campus, and so as a premim major, I
- 25:07Speaker 1: still put my foot in the arts. Let's go back
- 25:10Speaker 1: to the real beginning. So, growing up in Jersey, my
- 25:12Speaker 1: parents used to bring me up to the city. So
- 25:13Speaker 1: every time I come to New York is real nostalgic
- 25:15Speaker 1: for me, because you know, I grew up on alvin
- 25:17Speaker 1: Alee Dan's classes and going to see Brawlway shows and
- 25:20Speaker 1: so that's where I feel like the performance bug got me.
- 25:24Speaker 1: But I came from an academic family, so it was like, yeah,
- 25:26Speaker 1: you know, that's fun, but you're gonna be a doctor,
- 25:28Speaker 1: You're gonna be a lawyer, or you're gonna be an accountant.
- 25:31Speaker 1: So I always saw it as fun until Spike showed
- 25:33Speaker 1: up his butt. He shows up on campus and he's like,
- 25:36Speaker 1: you know, I think I want you to be in
- 25:38Speaker 1: my movie. I was Miss Moorehouse at the time, you know, yeah,
- 25:41Speaker 1: so I was, you know, I was kind of doing
- 25:42Speaker 1: it at school and he was like, you know, I
- 25:44Speaker 1: think I kind of want your presence in the movie.
- 25:45Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, you think I need you
- 25:47Speaker 1: to be sure. He was like, see that's what I'm
- 25:48Speaker 1: talking about, that energy, And so God bless him because
- 25:52Speaker 1: he put me in school days and that started everything
- 25:54Speaker 1: because it gave me my Screen Actors Guild membership, which
- 25:58Speaker 1: is what you need. Of course, no, and it's not.
- 26:01Speaker 1: And so I loved Spike forever for that because he
- 26:03Speaker 1: believed me enough to finance that, and and the rest
- 26:06Speaker 1: took off after. What about your parents because they everybody
- 26:08Speaker 1: wanted you you know, you were premed. Oh yeah, well
- 26:11Speaker 1: I lost my mom my first year at school. But
- 26:13Speaker 1: but my dad and the rest of my family was like, no, no, no, no,
- 26:16Speaker 1: this is supposed to be fun. And my dad actually
- 26:19Speaker 1: didn't speak to me until the house party premiere because
- 26:21Speaker 1: then you want our tickets for a second line? Did
- 26:25Speaker 1: you for a second say, I don't know, you haven't
- 26:27Speaker 1: been talking to me. No, because I knew, I knew,
- 26:30Speaker 1: you know, and he knew we were closed. So he said, listen,
- 26:31Speaker 1: I'm just scared for you, like that life, like you know,
- 26:34Speaker 1: He's like, you know, I'm from Jersey, I'm an engineer.
- 26:36Speaker 1: I don't know nothing about Hollywood and auditions and red carpets.
- 26:40Speaker 1: He's like, but now I'm gonna find out because my
- 26:41Speaker 1: girl doing it, you know, so break down a house party.
- 26:44Speaker 1: So how did House Party come to you and what
- 26:46Speaker 1: was the vision when you first seen it? Okay, well,
- 26:49Speaker 1: did you know that I was in Living Color fly
- 26:51Speaker 1: girl choreographer. Yes, okay, so actually House Party conflicted within
- 26:56Speaker 1: Living Color. So Keenan Ivory Wayans was like, you gotta
- 26:59Speaker 1: do either. So I was like, okay, so I'm out love,
- 27:02Speaker 1: you gonna leave. And Living Color one of the biggest
- 27:04Speaker 1: shows on TV. But at the time, it was the beginning,
- 27:07Speaker 1: it was growing. I was pioneering, correct, right, So I
- 27:10Speaker 1: called him Rosie, my girl, Rosie Perez. I said, listen,
- 27:13Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta take a step back for a second.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Go try to do this movie thing. I need you
- 27:16Speaker 1: to handle it for me. That's hope that you hooked
- 27:18Speaker 1: a friend up, because some people might have been like, oh,
- 27:21Speaker 1: I gotta make a choice. I'm out good luck. Oh no,
- 27:23Speaker 1: no no, Because Rosie was the you know at the time,
- 27:25Speaker 1: you know, as dancers, it was like Rosie was holding
- 27:28Speaker 1: down the East coast. I was holding down the West coast.
- 27:30Speaker 1: So we shot and Living Color on the West coast. So,
- 27:32Speaker 1: I mean, and Keenan was a friend, so I was like,
- 27:34Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna take this opportunity, but I'm not
- 27:36Speaker 1: gonna leave my boy hanging. So I was like, let
- 27:38Speaker 1: me get let me go get you the baddest dancer
- 27:40Speaker 1: I know, which was Rosie and so cars Rosie and
- 27:43Speaker 1: then and you know, Tsha and I were friends because
- 27:45Speaker 1: we met doing school days and I said, listen, I'm
- 27:48Speaker 1: trying to do this movie. I think you know they
- 27:50Speaker 1: came to the location to check me out on Living Color.
- 27:53Speaker 1: You're looking for a brown skin ship who can dance
- 27:55Speaker 1: and who? And she's like, oh no, they're looking for
- 27:57Speaker 1: a light skin girl for another role. I wonder if
- 27:58Speaker 1: it's me and you Now you know we don't have
- 28:00Speaker 1: to wonder. You know, what do you think that right? Deep? Right?
- 28:05Speaker 1: Do you think that you're a training and what you
- 28:07Speaker 1: do like for people as a life coach that helps
- 28:10Speaker 1: even when you're on set just being there with people,
- 28:13Speaker 1: because I can imagine how pleasant it must be to
- 28:16Speaker 1: be around you, because you have a lot of the
- 28:17Speaker 1: skills and tools to make sure that you know how
- 28:20Speaker 1: to treat other people. Some people don't know how to
- 28:21Speaker 1: do that. I love you saying that, and because I
- 28:24Speaker 1: think that part of my life and personality is what
- 28:27Speaker 1: got me to the life coaching. It was like as
- 28:29Speaker 1: people as I'm you know, I mean, I've been doing
- 28:31Speaker 1: this for thirty years. So as I work with different people,
- 28:34Speaker 1: as I'm around different people, they're the ones saying, can
- 28:37Speaker 1: I talk to you? You know, can I get your
- 28:39Speaker 1: take on this? You know, I heard you went through
- 28:41Speaker 1: a hard time, but you know, I can't even you know,
- 28:43Speaker 1: you're not wearing You're you know, you're not wearing your story,
- 28:46Speaker 1: Like how how are you so up? And so that's
- 28:48Speaker 1: where the life coaching came from. The psychology degree in background,
- 28:51Speaker 1: I just started helping people. And before my dad passed,
- 28:54Speaker 1: he was like, well, are they paying you for it?
- 28:57Speaker 1: And I was like, no, no, no, I'm helping my friends.
- 28:58Speaker 1: He was like, well can they pay me? Because I
- 29:00Speaker 1: pay for spellment, so can they that right? You know?
- 29:03Speaker 1: And so in his passing he said, you know, promise
- 29:06Speaker 1: me you'll just try it because that's part of your
- 29:09Speaker 1: gift and your talent and you know, you help people
- 29:12Speaker 1: and you're in service as a person. But at the
- 29:14Speaker 1: same time, that's a job, right. So here we are
- 29:17Speaker 1: and TV one. TV one said whoop and said we
- 29:20Speaker 1: want you to executive produce. It's your show eighteen episodes
- 29:24Speaker 1: show us how you do it. I love it because
- 29:26Speaker 1: it is really difficult to be in these high stressful situations.
- 29:29Speaker 1: So many people don't like the people who they have
- 29:31Speaker 1: to work with. So imagine like having somebody including me sometimes. Yeah,
- 29:36Speaker 1: so it's like, you know, finish your question. But I'm like,
- 29:38Speaker 1: you know, don't, don't act like I'm the therapist who's
- 29:40Speaker 1: not going through it. I'm the therapist to help you.
- 29:42Speaker 1: I'm coming from experience. But go ahead and finished. No. No,
- 29:46Speaker 1: but I'm saying, just imagine. I was talking to one
- 29:48Speaker 1: of my friends about that, and we were saying, how
- 29:50Speaker 1: so many people just have to go to situations where
- 29:52Speaker 1: they go to work every day and they just can't
- 29:55Speaker 1: stand their job. They can't stand the people that have
- 29:58Speaker 1: and that can be like really every day, just break
- 30:02Speaker 1: you down, girl. The breakdown can start with, how about
- 30:05Speaker 1: I don't even want to go to work or I'm
- 30:08Speaker 1: at work and I like work more than I like home.
- 30:10Speaker 1: I mean, there's a whole lot that goes on. I
- 30:12Speaker 1: don't like my family. You know, I'm married. I can't
- 30:14Speaker 1: stand my husband, you know. I mean there's a whole lot,
- 30:16Speaker 1: especially during this pandemic. You know how many people were
- 30:19Speaker 1: locked away at home and typically we're doing okay because
- 30:22Speaker 1: they weren't home so much, and now that's all they
- 30:24Speaker 1: could be. So life shifted. Some people say I don't
- 30:27Speaker 1: like my kids. I mean, listen, I'm telling you life
- 30:30Speaker 1: is hard. I think for me, like I messed up
- 30:32Speaker 1: my my situation at the crib because they had a situation.
- 30:36Speaker 1: They get up at a certain time, they eat at
- 30:37Speaker 1: a certain time, they do this at a certain times.
- 30:39Speaker 1: That's coming home and I'm like, it's too early to
- 30:41Speaker 1: eat this where we've been doing this like eighteen Like
- 30:49Speaker 1: we've been doing this. Dad, get out of here, right.
- 30:51Speaker 1: I messed up the house a little bit, right, And
- 30:53Speaker 1: you know what, I love. You know. TV one has
- 30:55Speaker 1: been amazing because in creating the show, you know, one
- 30:58Speaker 1: of the things I asked and and they completely partnered
- 31:01Speaker 1: with me on is that I wanted to keep it
- 31:03Speaker 1: real and authentic and do with genuine issues. I didn't
- 31:06Speaker 1: want to be the doctor on the couch, the therapist
- 31:08Speaker 1: on the couch. I wanted to dive in and say, listen,
- 31:11Speaker 1: you know, therapy is me and you trying to find
- 31:13Speaker 1: a solution. It's friends, it's family, it's a camaraderie approach.
- 31:16Speaker 1: It should be fun, it should be safe. You know,
- 31:19Speaker 1: no matter what the issue is, we all need help
- 31:21Speaker 1: going through life. So whatever it is, big or small,
- 31:25Speaker 1: we got more. With A. J. Johnson, we're getting his
- 31:27Speaker 1: free life Therapy this morning, so don't move. It's the
- 31:29Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
- 31:34Speaker 1: Charlomagne and the guy we are The Breakfast Club was
- 31:36Speaker 1: still kicking in with A. J. Johnson's actress wellness coach.
- 31:39Speaker 1: She has a show on TV one Life Therapy. Now
- 31:42Speaker 1: you spoke with with Yan dm DC. Yeah, thats gious
- 31:47Speaker 1: and he was so mad about which part, which part,
- 31:53Speaker 1: the part where you d left. He was like when
- 31:56Speaker 1: he was like when she was like, well, would you
- 31:58Speaker 1: hold me down? And he was like, I don't know right,
- 32:00Speaker 1: but here here, here's what I love. First of all,
- 32:02Speaker 1: that's my family. I love them. Just here. She was
- 32:05Speaker 1: here about a week ago. Yeah. Yeah, that's a couple's retreat.
- 32:07Speaker 1: That's vh one um. And you know I love the honesty.
- 32:11Speaker 1: See that's my thing. We can all we can only
- 32:13Speaker 1: get to the help and the step forward when you're
- 32:15Speaker 1: willing to be honest, no matter how bad the situation is,
- 32:18Speaker 1: and they needed to have that conversation. I was watching
- 32:20Speaker 1: them as we were filming, and I could tell that
- 32:23Speaker 1: they were off about the truth of you know, how
- 32:27Speaker 1: did you feel when you were incarcerated? And I was
- 32:29Speaker 1: blowing up, you know, on the outside, and so there
- 32:32Speaker 1: were conversations they hadn't had yet. So to me, I
- 32:35Speaker 1: was like, you know what, if y'all trust me, we
- 32:36Speaker 1: can really do this work and get down to the true,
- 32:39Speaker 1: the true conversation, which is like, what are you really feeling?
- 32:43Speaker 1: You know, Yandy, what are you feeling? I just want
- 32:44Speaker 1: to know, you know, all the stuff I did? Would
- 32:46Speaker 1: he have my back? And I was like, well, what
- 32:48Speaker 1: if he doesn't, where are we going from there? She's like,
- 32:49Speaker 1: I don't know. I just gotta get the answer. I said, okay,
- 32:51Speaker 1: well I'm gonna help you, says get the answer. I
- 32:54Speaker 1: never expected to get the answer. We all got the answer, right,
- 32:59Speaker 1: But you know what, that's the step forward. You know,
- 33:02Speaker 1: they had already dealt with where they were for years,
- 33:04Speaker 1: right in terms of that space, you can only step
- 33:07Speaker 1: forward when you get to the truth. So now you
- 33:09Speaker 1: start to heal. You know, now we know the truth.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Now we know that. He didn't say no, he said,
- 33:13Speaker 1: I don't know, so now we have to figure it out.
- 33:15Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question when people say I
- 33:17Speaker 1: want the answer, and your thing is, well, what are
- 33:19Speaker 1: you gonna do when you get that answer? Right? Right?
- 33:21Speaker 1: And most of the time is nothing, So why do
- 33:23Speaker 1: you get the answer someone? Because he says that all
- 33:25Speaker 1: the time, like, if you get the truth, what you're
- 33:27Speaker 1: gonna do when you get that truth? If you ain't
- 33:29Speaker 1: gonna do Some people don't want to know the truth
- 33:30Speaker 1: because they want to just keep living how they're living.
- 33:32Speaker 1: And they're like, okay, because if I'm gonna stay, but
- 33:35Speaker 1: I want the truth, but I'm staying, I'm just gonna
- 33:37Speaker 1: stay and be mad, right, And then you're gonna stay
- 33:39Speaker 1: and be mad and not happy and evil and not
- 33:42Speaker 1: fun to be around, and vindictive and revengeful, and I mean,
- 33:46Speaker 1: who wants that life? I mean, I don't. Some people
- 33:48Speaker 1: don't know they don't want to know the truth. Sometimes
- 33:51Speaker 1: in the therapy sessions is where you uncover and discover
- 33:55Speaker 1: you know, I don't I probably won't do anything with
- 33:57Speaker 1: the truth. So maybe I don't want the truth, and
- 33:59Speaker 1: maybe the lie I'm living it is probably okay for
- 34:02Speaker 1: my life. Now, if you can be okay living a lie,
- 34:04Speaker 1: that that's on you, right, You know I personally can't
- 34:08Speaker 1: live that lie. I'm I'm a truth seeker. Are you
- 34:10Speaker 1: a truth seeker? Absolutely? Are you? No? You rather live
- 34:16Speaker 1: the line when it comes when it comes to certain
- 34:18Speaker 1: things like it's honestly when it comes to friends and
- 34:21Speaker 1: my kids. But if my wife cheated on me, you
- 34:23Speaker 1: wouldn't want to know. I wouldn't want to know. You know,
- 34:25Speaker 1: I've seriously, you wouldn't want to know. You don't think
- 34:28Speaker 1: you could learn the truth hell from it and keep
- 34:29Speaker 1: going No, he can't do it. Wow, But the other
- 34:32Speaker 1: guy's penis is definitely that and we know size matters.
- 34:38Speaker 1: The reason the reason I wouldn't is because you know
- 34:40Speaker 1: I've been with my wife twenty seven years, right, Yeah,
- 34:42Speaker 1: you've been married twenty So all the stuff that I've
- 34:45Speaker 1: done to my wife in a relationship is foul. I
- 34:47Speaker 1: was insecuted starting to go together when we were fifteen, right,
- 34:51Speaker 1: So you learn from your wife like you learn those
- 34:53Speaker 1: experiences with your spouse. So if she did something to me,
- 34:57Speaker 1: I'm not leaving. You deserved it. I deserved it. So okay,
- 35:00Speaker 1: So it's kind of like a guilt thing. No, it's
- 35:02Speaker 1: not a guilt thing. I just don't want to I'm
- 35:03Speaker 1: not leaving because you don't even want to think about it.
- 35:06Speaker 1: So I don't want to even think about it. So,
- 35:07Speaker 1: for instance, like when it comes to me, I'm the
- 35:09Speaker 1: type I can put something in the past and continue
- 35:12Speaker 1: to move forward. Does she know all your dirt? Yes? Okay,
- 35:15Speaker 1: and she stayed Yes, So is that why if you
- 35:18Speaker 1: knew her dirt, you could say he's not gonna go.
- 35:21Speaker 1: That's why he's saying because you're saying you're not gonna leave,
- 35:23Speaker 1: So why not? You just don't need to know the dirt.
- 35:25Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know how I would feel if
- 35:27Speaker 1: that was kilt. Let's say let's say my wife did
- 35:29Speaker 1: something foul. Right, Let's say she could it be more
- 35:31Speaker 1: foul than whatever you did, I mean anything could be faust.
- 35:34Speaker 1: She could, you know, have sex with a friend and
- 35:35Speaker 1: not not just cheating, just the insecurities that how I
- 35:38Speaker 1: treated her as being young and through our you know,
- 35:41Speaker 1: through our relationship, and she did something I would not
- 35:44Speaker 1: want to know. So does that make you does that
- 35:47Speaker 1: does that make you slightly like lifelong uncomfortable to say
- 35:51Speaker 1: no no, because even with me, like for instance, if
- 35:54Speaker 1: you do something, let's say you do something to me,
- 35:56Speaker 1: I'm the type where I could let it go, say
- 35:58Speaker 1: you and keep it moving and everything about you. Ever again,
- 36:01Speaker 1: you're never in my life. Some people harp on that
- 36:03Speaker 1: I agree, but but no, I agree. But when it's
- 36:06Speaker 1: your wife, it's kind of like I feel like there's
- 36:08Speaker 1: this little cloud like a Charlie Brown clown that could
- 36:12Speaker 1: hover of There could be something I don't know that's
- 36:15Speaker 1: holding me back from being my best self just because
- 36:19Speaker 1: I don't know my full truth. That could be, but
- 36:22Speaker 1: there hasn't been any discrepancies with her and our manner.
- 36:25Speaker 1: Do you know that? But like, AJ, let me ask
- 36:27Speaker 1: you something. I heard that if you cheat on somebody,
- 36:30Speaker 1: you're not supposed to tell them if they're not going
- 36:31Speaker 1: to find out, because that's just to get rid of
- 36:33Speaker 1: your own guilt and that puts a burden on the
- 36:35Speaker 1: other person. And I've read that in several places. So
- 36:38Speaker 1: can we back up before that? And why are you
- 36:40Speaker 1: cheating anyway? So there's there's something going on for you
- 36:42Speaker 1: to be a cheater. First, Now, all of a sudden,
- 36:45Speaker 1: you're a cheater and you're keeping secrets. So where are
- 36:48Speaker 1: we going with that? Because what if like, okay, let's
- 36:50Speaker 1: just say his wife went on vacation with her girls
- 36:53Speaker 1: while mby was doing him well, don't use envy in
- 36:55Speaker 1: this one book ahead, and she had a little fleeing
- 36:58Speaker 1: somewhere in Jamaica and no one would ever know about it,
- 37:02Speaker 1: came back home and just should she tell I years later?
- 37:07Speaker 1: He didn't find out it was fifteen years ago. I think,
- 37:10Speaker 1: first of all, like I said, depending on what's leading
- 37:13Speaker 1: you to the cheat, that's the issue is what what
- 37:16Speaker 1: what's happening that you even want to cheat? He knows? Okay,
- 37:19Speaker 1: well see I would say it wasn't but I know,
- 37:23Speaker 1: well let's be true. Let let's be honest. Let's be honest.
- 37:26Speaker 1: So so are we just are we are we kind
- 37:28Speaker 1: of putting icing on a nasty cake saying you weren't
- 37:32Speaker 1: you were just not the best when you know were
- 37:35Speaker 1: you were? You were you? Yeah? Okay, see okay, that's okay.
- 37:40Speaker 1: So so that again that's the truth. So but you're
- 37:43Speaker 1: in order for you to be better, you have to
- 37:45Speaker 1: admit that, so that you so that you know what
- 37:47Speaker 1: better is going to be right, correct, So the cheating,
- 37:50Speaker 1: what's going on for her to cheat? Something's going on
- 37:52Speaker 1: with herself before it even comes to the relationship. Something's
- 37:54Speaker 1: going on inside Now that you cheat, Now it depends
- 37:57Speaker 1: on where she wants to go in the relationship, because
- 37:58Speaker 1: now you're holding onto a secret, a lie, because now
- 38:02Speaker 1: my valty you is a lie, her val is a lie.
- 38:05Speaker 1: She cheated. You think some people cheat out of revenge too.
- 38:08Speaker 1: I think people cheat for all kind of reasons insecurity, revenge.
- 38:11Speaker 1: But what you saying, I look, look, he pulled the
- 38:13Speaker 1: mike closer. He's like, wait, hold on, no. I think
- 38:17Speaker 1: people cheat for many different reasons, for many reasons. But
- 38:19Speaker 1: I think the main reason I think a lot of
- 38:22Speaker 1: fellows cheap is because and it's gonna sound so crazy,
- 38:24Speaker 1: I know women hate when we say it, because that's
- 38:26Speaker 1: what our community was, I cheating community. Correct. Think about it.
- 38:29Speaker 1: When you listen to music and you listen to things,
- 38:31Speaker 1: it's almost like you're supposed to cheat. When you hear
- 38:33Speaker 1: songs and you see people doing this, and you see
- 38:35Speaker 1: people doing that and you're at the club. That's what
- 38:37Speaker 1: our community was growing up. That's how it was, and
- 38:40Speaker 1: that's what I because I feel like it's kind of
- 38:41Speaker 1: shifted to twicls change, Like now it's torking, like all
- 38:45Speaker 1: the music is. You know, if I can't drop down low,
- 38:47Speaker 1: stay down low and make it go counterclockwise clockwise, it's
- 38:50Speaker 1: like I feel like I'm not worthy. You can do
- 38:52Speaker 1: it though I can't. That's at the point you still yeah, yeah, yes,
- 38:59Speaker 1: that was a community. But how many times did you
- 39:02Speaker 1: see your favorite autors, favorite celebrity out with their wife?
- 39:06Speaker 1: You know, you not a lot of seeing rappers talk
- 39:08Speaker 1: about their wives and just seeing actors talked about their
- 39:11Speaker 1: wives in the last ten years before that, every you
- 39:13Speaker 1: had to be single. But listen, you know that's what
- 39:16Speaker 1: our community did. What you're talking about the men part,
- 39:20Speaker 1: and you're asking about the female part. So I think
- 39:22Speaker 1: there's also different reasons why as women we cheat and
- 39:25Speaker 1: why as men cheat, But it still goes back to
- 39:28Speaker 1: what's going on within me. Very seldom, I mean, I
- 39:30Speaker 1: think that people cheat for a lot of reasons, like
- 39:32Speaker 1: we were talking about, but very seldom, I feel like
- 39:34Speaker 1: the cheating has to do with the other person. The
- 39:36Speaker 1: cheating has to do with how I feel about myself
- 39:38Speaker 1: right now. You can help me not feel good about
- 39:41Speaker 1: me right. You can help me not be courageous, not
- 39:43Speaker 1: be confident, not be confirmed right, but you can't validate me.
- 39:48Speaker 1: I gotta validate me. So if I'm cheating looking for validation, attention, love, honor, respect,
- 39:54Speaker 1: that's something that I'm looking for somewhere else. So now
- 39:56Speaker 1: I have to deal with you on why am I
- 39:58Speaker 1: with you as a life partner? And I'm like getting
- 40:00Speaker 1: what I need you follow. So it's not about telling
- 40:02Speaker 1: do I cheat? It's I need to fix what's happening
- 40:05Speaker 1: here because I, you know, because I went somewhere else,
- 40:07Speaker 1: or I think we can be better, and just so
- 40:09Speaker 1: you know, we're so aft up right now, I did
- 40:12Speaker 1: go somewhere else. But can we fix it? Imo? We
- 40:14Speaker 1: have more with A. J. Johnson when we come back.
- 40:16Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club, the Morning Envy, Angela Yee Charlemagne,
- 40:21Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking
- 40:23Speaker 1: in with AJ Johnson's actress wellness coach. She has a
- 40:26Speaker 1: show on TV one Life Therapy and ye question envy,
- 40:29Speaker 1: why did you cheat? A lot of different reasons insecurity
- 40:34Speaker 1: is the main one. I think one because when I
- 40:37Speaker 1: was home, I was this shoe I was with Shawn Casey.
- 40:39Speaker 1: But when I was in the street, I was DJ MV.
- 40:41Speaker 1: So I almost felt like I was a superhero, like
- 40:44Speaker 1: I put my k forward. I'm a different person. And
- 40:46Speaker 1: what part of your life, though, what part of your
- 40:47Speaker 1: life did this happen? Because y'all been together a long
- 40:50Speaker 1: time when I started popping, and when was that? I
- 40:54Speaker 1: would say, maybe my late was feeling yourself myself, because
- 40:58Speaker 1: you gotta think I was. I hate to say. I
- 41:00Speaker 1: was a kid with the glasses the brain where we go. Listen,
- 41:04Speaker 1: he had a little tight shorts on with his sides
- 41:06Speaker 1: up to his the nerd. Yeah it was DJ Shrimp.
- 41:09Speaker 1: I was only five foot four. At first I thought
- 41:11Speaker 1: it was because it's something else, No shut up. But
- 41:13Speaker 1: I grew from five to six foot so it was like,
- 41:17Speaker 1: you know, as a kid, I was, I was the nerd.
- 41:19Speaker 1: I was Nobody was going me, nobody's hollered at me.
- 41:21Speaker 1: But now I'm six foot. I got lay Sick, my
- 41:23Speaker 1: braces off, I got lay Sicks number two. I got Lai.
- 41:30Speaker 1: There was no more metal mouth, it was no more
- 41:32Speaker 1: four eyes, it was no more none of that. Listen
- 41:34Speaker 1: now they say that again. That dusted you off, right
- 41:38Speaker 1: and fixed you up. She dusted me off and fixed
- 41:40Speaker 1: me up. And now I'm how are you out there?
- 41:43Speaker 1: But you know how many how many stories are the same,
- 41:46Speaker 1: male and female. You know, the chubby girl in high
- 41:49Speaker 1: school who who couldn't make the cheerleading team all of
- 41:52Speaker 1: a sudden becomes the beauty queen and high school. You
- 41:57Speaker 1: know what I mean? So I think it was great
- 42:00Speaker 1: with you guys, is that you have such a history,
- 42:02Speaker 1: that's your foundation. You had to know you were going
- 42:04Speaker 1: to grow up together, so that that growing years. I mean,
- 42:07Speaker 1: most people don't really find their their person, told a
- 42:09Speaker 1: good reason person until like thirty, So you have all
- 42:12Speaker 1: that growing and maturing to do before you lock down.
- 42:15Speaker 1: If you lock down sooner, you're gonna have those growing pains,
- 42:18Speaker 1: as they say, correct, so you have to go through
- 42:20Speaker 1: them together. Me and my wife wrote a book During
- 42:21Speaker 1: a Pandemic, which is which just comes out next year,
- 42:23Speaker 1: next year. But we talked about all that because I
- 42:27Speaker 1: was insecure, she was beautiful. I didn't want her to
- 42:30Speaker 1: go outside, you know, I didn't want her to wear
- 42:32Speaker 1: a form fitting clothes like I was that type of
- 42:36Speaker 1: guy like this, the guy that if my daughter dated
- 42:38Speaker 1: a guy like me, I'd be like, we gotta give
- 42:40Speaker 1: it this. I got a question, Yes, man, So is
- 42:42Speaker 1: there anything from that guy? Because that's a soul? Is
- 42:46Speaker 1: there anything from that soul? Although we fixed a lot
- 42:49Speaker 1: of the outside, is there anything on the inside that
- 42:52Speaker 1: still needs healing when it comes to that. No, you're
- 42:56Speaker 1: absolutely sure. So why do you think you don't want
- 42:58Speaker 1: to know her truth? If there's something to tell. Well,
- 43:03Speaker 1: I don't think about the past. I don't think about anything.
- 43:06Speaker 1: He don't want to think about his path. I don't
- 43:08Speaker 1: think about anybody's past. But I think I did be
- 43:10Speaker 1: tame place where I don't want to think about it.
- 43:12Speaker 1: Like some people, you know, they drink to forget about things,
- 43:15Speaker 1: or they use drugs. For myself, I focus on the future,
- 43:18Speaker 1: like I focus on my kids and the future and
- 43:20Speaker 1: what's coming on next. I never want to go back
- 43:22Speaker 1: to that person. I never want to think you're I
- 43:26Speaker 1: know who that person is, and I don't like talking
- 43:27Speaker 1: about that person. I don't like like even with my wife,
- 43:29Speaker 1: she got cut in her face, right, she had like
- 43:31Speaker 1: sixty stitches. Girls beat her up when she was fifteen,
- 43:34Speaker 1: jumped to a cut of face. I never want to
- 43:36Speaker 1: think about that again. So every time she brings that
- 43:38Speaker 1: story up, I have to walk out the room. You
- 43:40Speaker 1: don't even want to hear abody talk about the more
- 43:41Speaker 1: because I dealt with that. I didn't, we didn't cry.
- 43:45Speaker 1: So you're already he from that. No residual math that
- 43:47Speaker 1: exactly because I would, I would find a person and
- 43:50Speaker 1: blow the house up. But I'm heal from it. Well,
- 43:52Speaker 1: see that means that you're still not healed because you're
- 43:54Speaker 1: telling that you if that that you have thoughts of
- 43:57Speaker 1: if you don't have thoughts about that. If I did,
- 43:58Speaker 1: I would, I would, I would have done it. Complicated,
- 44:02Speaker 1: I know, but you know this is life therapy because
- 44:06Speaker 1: and I also I also think that he could justify
- 44:09Speaker 1: if GI had cheated on him. And that's maybe why
- 44:11Speaker 1: he doesn't want to know, because because it's justified. Your
- 44:14Speaker 1: highest come on life, coach, Come on, come on life coach.
- 44:18Speaker 1: Exactly finished, Yes, you're right, you know, because you could
- 44:21Speaker 1: look at the situation and say she should have cheated
- 44:24Speaker 1: because in his head, you know, I deserved it. He
- 44:27Speaker 1: probably thinks he deserved it because he wasn't present the
- 44:30Speaker 1: way that he should have been. He was doing what
- 44:32Speaker 1: he was doing. Her feelings were hurt and what did
- 44:36Speaker 1: he think? She? I know, I don't know exactly, but
- 44:41Speaker 1: you know what, Yeah, this is a great example of
- 44:43Speaker 1: what right right, I know it is it is and
- 44:46Speaker 1: this is what this is what therapy is. I mean,
- 44:47Speaker 1: the reason why we're doing the show is to hopefully
- 44:50Speaker 1: show the black and brown community that doesn't necessarily know
- 44:53Speaker 1: a go to therapy. We're trying to show and hopefully
- 44:57Speaker 1: succeeding that therapy is this. It's exactly what we're doing.
- 45:00Speaker 1: We're talking things out, looking for solutions in a safe place,
- 45:03Speaker 1: you know, where you can feel like like you have
- 45:06Speaker 1: no reason to hide your truth and open and honesty
- 45:08Speaker 1: because the next step is moving forward in your life.
- 45:11Speaker 1: And so we're blocked by so much as a people,
- 45:14Speaker 1: right Like you're saying, a lot of the male cheating
- 45:16Speaker 1: is coming from you know, our music in the day,
- 45:19Speaker 1: and and what society is telling us we are and
- 45:21Speaker 1: are not and how good we are or not. I mean,
- 45:23Speaker 1: we go on and on all you know, in terms
- 45:25Speaker 1: of how does your family upbringing play a part in
- 45:29Speaker 1: your adult life? Like what did you see? A lot
- 45:31Speaker 1: of African American men don't come from two parent households,
- 45:34Speaker 1: so they didn't have an example of what a man
- 45:37Speaker 1: is really supposed to be in a relationship. I luckily did.
- 45:39Speaker 1: I'm all over my wife, I'm all over my kids.
- 45:42Speaker 1: I'm always constantly hugging in my relationship. I need that
- 45:46Speaker 1: because I watched it and that was what That's how
- 45:48Speaker 1: I identify love. How do you identify love? Well, I
- 45:52Speaker 1: would say this, my parents are definitely not very affectionate.
- 45:55Speaker 1: People see so deep. But our parents are divorced, will
- 45:57Speaker 1: live with each other, go everywhere with each other. You
- 45:59Speaker 1: gotta be on the show too. We got a whole
- 46:01Speaker 1: lot of life therapy in the same house, travel everywhere,
- 46:04Speaker 1: but not married. But I'm probably very like multimately unavailable.
- 46:08Speaker 1: I'm cool in my relationship and I'm very laid back
- 46:12Speaker 1: and chill, and we don't really argue. Everything's pretty calm.
- 46:15Speaker 1: Do you want to fix that? Do you feel like
- 46:16Speaker 1: it's something to fix? No, I think everything's fine. Like
- 46:21Speaker 1: I feel like we don't have like super deep conversations,
- 46:23Speaker 1: but we also are like best friends, so best friends
- 46:27Speaker 1: and romantic but not super deep. Yeah, but we don't
- 46:31Speaker 1: have those conversations. We could, but I just feel like
- 46:34Speaker 1: we never have had the need. How long have you
- 46:36Speaker 1: been together, um like six years. See and I think
- 46:39Speaker 1: you tell me because you both you are in a
- 46:41Speaker 1: relationship longer than ones. I mean I last two weeks.
- 46:43Speaker 1: That's long for me. But but but my question is
- 46:47Speaker 1: do you think being the married one that the hard
- 46:50Speaker 1: conversations are what cements the relationship. I think I think
- 46:54Speaker 1: he's scared of marriage. It won't say it right, Well,
- 46:57Speaker 1: I can say it, and the reason being is because
- 46:59Speaker 1: I think she's seen it with her mother and father,
- 47:01Speaker 1: So you're scared of it. Well, I don't feel like
- 47:03Speaker 1: marriage is necessary for me personally. And and listen, that's
- 47:07Speaker 1: not a whole other show women women who don't feel
- 47:09Speaker 1: like marriage. I feel the same way, but I don't.
- 47:12Speaker 1: I'm not against it, Like if one day I changed
- 47:14Speaker 1: my mind, I'm okay with that. But I'm okay with
- 47:16Speaker 1: not being married and being in a monogamous relationship. See that.
- 47:19Speaker 1: That's that There's a lot of women who are not
- 47:22Speaker 1: okay with not being made and that's a decision. Some
- 47:25Speaker 1: people have a goal like I want to be married,
- 47:28Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with that, right, I agree, I agree,
- 47:30Speaker 1: But I also think ye is an individual that has
- 47:33Speaker 1: been doing it for so long and being an entrepreneur
- 47:36Speaker 1: and being independent. I don't think she could ever get
- 47:38Speaker 1: to it. And it's just me personally. I don't think
- 47:40Speaker 1: she could ever get to a place where she has
- 47:41Speaker 1: to check in and tell somebody what she's doing, how
- 47:44Speaker 1: she's doing it, where she's I don't think she don't
- 47:46Speaker 1: look at that it's checking in though. Yeah, I was
- 47:48Speaker 1: gonna say, but but her marriage doesn't have to be that.
- 47:50Speaker 1: I know, well, right, my marriage is not gonna be
- 47:54Speaker 1: that's not that's not gonna be a marriage. Or you
- 47:57Speaker 1: know where your wife is all the time? Well, what
- 47:59Speaker 1: do you mean? Do we know where we are all
- 48:01Speaker 1: the time? For instance, well, do you feel like when
- 48:04Speaker 1: I go somewhere, my wife knows? When my wife goes somewhere,
- 48:07Speaker 1: I know, like we know where we each other will going.
- 48:09Speaker 1: So if I ever need her, she ever leaves me,
- 48:11Speaker 1: she can know if if a bomb blew up in
- 48:13Speaker 1: the city, she could be like, my husband's not in
- 48:15Speaker 1: the city, he's in Queens. I didn't hear that as
- 48:18Speaker 1: the same thing as the check in thing, that that
- 48:21Speaker 1: that you won't you got to check and all you
- 48:23Speaker 1: in trouble, But like where that's partnership to collect exactly
- 48:26Speaker 1: right right at all times. Like if I'm like, I'm
- 48:30Speaker 1: not coming to work this day, you have to do it.
- 48:31Speaker 1: Like it comes up in regular conversation and you figure
- 48:35Speaker 1: it out. You know, as you're moving forward, you know
- 48:37Speaker 1: where you are now may not be the relationship you
- 48:39Speaker 1: want in two months, three months, right, you know that.
- 48:42Speaker 1: That's the one thing too that I love about the
- 48:44Speaker 1: timing of life therapy is that we're dealing in a
- 48:47Speaker 1: time when the world keeps turning and flipping. You know,
- 48:50Speaker 1: we didn't know that we'd be here. You know, this
- 48:53Speaker 1: long and a pandemic and it's not going anywhere anytime soon,
- 48:56Speaker 1: and we're getting ready to going to another slump in it. Right,
- 48:59Speaker 1: So our lives, our work, our relationships, our families, everything,
- 49:04Speaker 1: everything is affected. Is it draining sometimes when you leave
- 49:07Speaker 1: from doing the therapy, because it is? It really deep? Yeah,
- 49:12Speaker 1: Like there's one picture I posted on Instagram in the
- 49:14Speaker 1: middle of shooting where I was getting like a vitamin
- 49:16Speaker 1: IV because I was so drained. But but the difference
- 49:20Speaker 1: for me is this is not a job. For me,
- 49:21Speaker 1: I really believe it's a calling. You know, all of it,
- 49:24Speaker 1: all of my life, all of my career has led
- 49:26Speaker 1: to this. I mean, think about it. When you talk
- 49:28Speaker 1: about clients and you talk about Stevie Wondershaka Khan, you know,
- 49:31Speaker 1: Beyonce Celo. I mean the list. You know, I've been
- 49:34Speaker 1: so blessed to work with so many people and gain
- 49:36Speaker 1: their trust, to work with so many people tsha, I mean,
- 49:39Speaker 1: the list goes on. What I love is that part
- 49:41Speaker 1: of the trust comes from I've lived the life. I'm
- 49:44Speaker 1: in the industry. I have struggles, but they're seeing where
- 49:47Speaker 1: I'm managing my life. I'm managing my happy I'm managing
- 49:51Speaker 1: my mental and my stress. So basically the business came
- 49:54Speaker 1: because they said, you're doing a better job at the
- 49:56Speaker 1: management than I am. Please show me and teach me
- 49:59Speaker 1: how you do it. Okay, said they say invoice. He said,
- 50:05Speaker 1: He's just say no, this is this is my Christmas,
- 50:08Speaker 1: this is my Christmas game, my Christmas again. And when
- 50:11Speaker 1: I come back and see y'all in January. Now we're
- 50:13Speaker 1: gonna start charging this. This is the first free life
- 50:15Speaker 1: is A. J. Johnson is the breakfast Club, Boding Morning.
- 50:18Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy angela Ye, Charlemagne, the guy. We
- 50:22Speaker 1: all the breakfast club. Good morning. Let's get to the rumas.
- 50:25Speaker 1: Let's talk NBA Young Boy. This is the rumor report
- 50:29Speaker 1: with Angela Ye. Well, NBA Young Boy has boosted the
- 50:39Speaker 1: numbers on Clubhouse. Now, Clubhouse was super popular during a pandemic,
- 50:43Speaker 1: but the numbers have gone down. But according to academics,
- 50:47Speaker 1: when Young Boy did that appearance on Clubhouse and joined
- 50:50Speaker 1: and his entire fan base went on there and went
- 50:52Speaker 1: from being sixtieth on the app store to being top
- 50:55Speaker 1: five in a matter of days, it was number four. Yeah.
- 50:59Speaker 1: I mean he has a lot of fancies and the
- 51:01Speaker 1: most streaming artists out there on YouTube, yes, yes, and
- 51:03Speaker 1: then he takes videos off YouTube, so yeah, I mean
- 51:06Speaker 1: everybody wants to hear what he has to say. And
- 51:08Speaker 1: he's our house arrest, so it's not like you're going
- 51:10Speaker 1: to see him out and about doing too much all right. Now,
- 51:13Speaker 1: Houston Attorney has filed more than fifteen hundred cases on
- 51:16Speaker 1: behalf of victims of the Astro World Festival tragedy. So
- 51:20Speaker 1: the total number of plaintiffs in relation to the ten
- 51:22Speaker 1: deaths and three hundred injuries is nearly twenty eight hundred
- 51:25Speaker 1: as of this point. We told you yesterday that Travis
- 51:28Speaker 1: Scott has requested that one of the claims against him,
- 51:31Speaker 1: Jack Enterprises and Cactus Jack be dismissed. That is his
- 51:34Speaker 1: way of getting started of separating himself from these lawsuits
- 51:38Speaker 1: and PowerBook two Ghosts has been renewed for a third season.
- 51:42Speaker 1: So congratulations shout to fifty. I don't think anybody didn't
- 51:45Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen. I mean, it's so popular and
- 51:47Speaker 1: it's so damn good. So so they're going to start
- 51:50Speaker 1: shooting that in early twenty twenty two. All right, Tristan Thompson,
- 51:54Speaker 1: who wants to get a gag order to silence his
- 51:56Speaker 1: alleged baby mother, and so he basically filed an emergency
- 52:01Speaker 1: petition yesterday asking the judge to issue a gag order
- 52:04Speaker 1: in that case, barring the parties, which includes himself and
- 52:06Speaker 1: Marilyn Nicholes, from speaking out about the case as it
- 52:09Speaker 1: plays out in court. So in the documents, he claims
- 52:12Speaker 1: that she's been doing interviews with the media, leaking personal info,
- 52:15Speaker 1: and even taking to ig and other social media that
- 52:18Speaker 1: spread what he says are blatant lies about himself and
- 52:22Speaker 1: his family. He's just a mess. He is a mess.
- 52:25Speaker 1: I mean he's all right. Congratulations to Halle Berry. She
- 52:29Speaker 1: did a speech during the celebration of Black Cinema. Stop
- 52:31Speaker 1: letting awards measure our worth. Is what she had to say.
- 52:35Speaker 1: Here is Halle Berry. I want to say thank you

- 1:01:11Speaker 1: black students better black teachers. Oh my god, she prefer
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: her children to be taught by white teacher. Let me
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: ask a question. Has she ever had a black teacher
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: teacher kids? Yes? Yeah, she has Okay, we we our
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: kids go to school in North oh No, Okay, Brick City.

- 1:01:40Speaker 1: matter where the setting is. I've had both, and I
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: feel like the black teachers understand me better and understand
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: me more. Shut to Hampton University. I went to you know,
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: I went to HBC Hamton University, and I would say
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: ninety percent of my teachers were or black, and I
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: just the way that they taught, the way that they
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: spoke to me. I felt like they weren't talking down
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: to me. So, I mean, I don't know where she's
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: getting there from. Maybe she just had a couple of
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: bad teachers. But I wouldn't trade that experience for the world.

- 1:05:02Speaker 1: What's your question for you? How do you keep yourself
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: balanced in the midst of a relationship, like when you're
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: a mom, when you're a white everything else, Like how
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: do you still stay grounded in you and what you're
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: going on. Well, I think that, So talk to me
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: about what the issue is. Like you're feeling like you're
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: not being yourself, Like I feel like I'm being myself,
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: but I feel like I don't have time to write,
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: I don't have time to do at the school programs
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: like I don't. I don't make the time because I'm
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: worried of making sure the house is situated. I'm worried
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: to making sure my husband my daughter is situated. Like.
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: I love them, so I put so much energy into
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: them right, and I don't. I don't regret that. It's
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: just how can I balance, you know, still having time
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: for me? Like I've been getting up earlier and that's
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: been helping, but even still, sometimes I feel like I
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: get mixed up in the sauce and what I'm trying
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: to do get put to the side, not by them,
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: but by me. Well, schedule it, just like you schedule
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: everything else in your life. You know what time you
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: got to pick the kids up, you know what time
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: you got to do dinner, you know what time you
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: got to be at work. You know it's schedule that
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: time for yourself and stick to it and let everybody know. Hey,
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: between six and eight on Tuesday or whatever days that
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: you pick and have that time alloted for yourself. Pick
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: that time and stick to it, put it in the schedule.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: And I feel like you, but my thing is asking
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: for that time, Like it's almost like I don't want
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: to ask for it because I feel like, well, you
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: don't have to ask. You, you're a grown up, you
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: don't have to ask. You let them know. You let
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: your husband know, and I'm sure that he does. He
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: respect you enough to understand that you need that for sure,
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: because he tells me to do that. I just don't
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, it's kind of you putting all this
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: on yourself, and so I want to see you understand
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: that you deserve it, you need it, you earned it.
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: It's necessary for you to have your sanity, because even
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: the reason why you're calling talking about balance is because
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: you don't have it and you're talking yourself out of it.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: And you've put all these responsibilities on yourself. But guess what,
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: life will go on the world will go on and continue,
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: and I don't want you to wake up and be like,
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: you know two years now, like, man, I should have
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: took that time that I needed. So I feel like
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: it is. It's okay for you to do things for yourself.
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: It's okay to be selfish. It's okay to have that
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: time to look forward to. You just have to figure
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: out how much time is that? Is it six hours
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: a week? Is it? I'm gonna do one hour, you know,
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: three times? You just have to figure that out, schedule it,
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: and stick to that schedule and keep that. No one's
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: stopping you. All right? Yeah, have a good one too.
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: Ask ye ain't on five A five one oh five one.
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: If you need advice, relationship advice, and any type of advice,
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: call her now. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. I'm
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: gonna keep for real, there's some real advice with Angela. Yet,
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: ask ye want to get everybody you see j Envy, Angela, Yee, Charlomne,
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: the guy with all the breakfast club with in the
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: middle of ask ye, Hello, who's this yo? Yo? What's
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: going on this day? Drey? What's your question for you?
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: How do our let this lady know that lover her.
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: I can care for her, I could beat her, even
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: helpful support her, but she's just not going for you.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: Who Okay, Well, it's like ripping a band aid off, right,
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: because the longer you stay with somebody who you know
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: you don't want to be with and who your heart's
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: not in it, the more of a disservice that you're
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: doing to her. So if you care about her at
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: all as a person, then the sooner you tell her,
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: the better. And you know people always do that oh
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: it's not you, it's me type of speech. But I
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: think you just have to be honest and be like, look,
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: I don't see this going any further than where it is,
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: and I want you to be happy and find your happiness.
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: But I respect you as a person. I have so
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: much love for you. If you need anything from me,
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: let me know. But I don't see this progressing. Yeah.
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: See the thing good, She don't want no support. If
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: she don't have me, we have a you know, like
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: you don't no matter what it is, I can help
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: out with her. Thing is like if look you, if
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: I ain't your girl, then I don't want your health.
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: Well yeah, and there's nothing wrong with that, And that
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: might be what she needs to cut all ties because
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: you're not doing any body a service by you know,
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: you're helping her because you feel she's a good person.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: You feel guilty because you're not together. It would be
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: better for you to just cut all ties because that's
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: the only way she'll be able to move on. I guess,
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: I guess I gotta rip the band aid off for
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: myself too. I appreciate you, so, yeah, absolutely, and I
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: hope you find happiness. But like I said, you know,
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: there's nothing worse than being stuck in a relationship that
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: you don't want to be in because I can't imagine
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: she wants to be in it. If you're not even
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: wanting to be there, you can tell yeah, all right,
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: I gotta make that. Gotta just gotta do what you
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: have to do sometimes, Yeah, listen, a lot of the
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: right thing isn't always the easy thing. Then right around
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: Christmas two shut up envy, damn it, man. If you
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: I appreciate that, you right not. I don't even want
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: to say nothing. And listen, don't nobody You're just gonna
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: get them. Listen this first of all, this is when
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: most people break up is around the holidays. But don't
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: make her spend one more holiday and have another memory
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: with the person that you're not going to end up with.
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: So I can't either, girl, give her like a nice soap.
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: If that's a good five. You can send her whatever
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: you want if you want to do that, if your heart,
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: heart and gifts, if your heart is in it. Yeah
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: you look, it is what it is. He don't want
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: to be with her. I don't know, man, I'll just
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: take it day by day, but I gotta say something.
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: It can't wait until Christmas to say it. Yeah, don't
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: do it. Don't wait till after Christmas. My goodness. All right,

- 1:11:23Speaker 1: on December ninth. What is that tomorrow? That's tomorrow. So
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: they said, this is the first concert Kanye has headlined
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: in five years. That should be pretty interesting to watch.
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: You can watch that. He's been doing concerts and performances
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: the last year. Has he headlined? I thought that was
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: his album listening. I guess you're right. Yeah, same difference. Okay, yeah,
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: that's a little different. It's not like he's been doing
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: other songs when he's been doing his rings. You're right,
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: all right, So um, Larry Hoover Junior talks about what
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: exactly is going on. He did say that his father
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: is a little bit worried about the show. He was
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: on the Drea Oh Show. Yeah, he's aware of it.
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: He's a little bit concerned. He doesn't know how it
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: may affect him. He's concerned that it may affect him
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: negatively because showing his influence. But his influence is positive,
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: all right, So we'll see. But it is happening Kanye
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: and Draking. That's a huge deal for the two of them.
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: I think that's dope. Yes, I think there's still some
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: tickets available too, so definitely get your tickets. I know
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: while our business partners season Flipping New Jersey, he satting

- 1:12:47Speaker 1: official trailer for Juice World into the Abyss over the weekend,
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: and here is a snippet of that for you. He
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: was so bad articulating his feelings. We ain't realized that's
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: the way you're feeling. Because it's turned into so much
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: beautiful art. It was hard to separate the two. You know,
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: you're telling you whatever that you feel like you got anxiety.
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: It's like you got depressions. They don't look at you
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: like you're crazy. That needs to change, and hopefully I'm
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: one of those people that could bring that change. I'm
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: talking is overwhelming, but this is what I asked for.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: Juice was a therapist for millions of kids, a voice
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: of that generation. The documentary will be on December sixteenth
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: on HBO Max. And in addition to that, like I said,
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: tomorrow is Juice World Day. So that event is confirmed.
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: It will be at Chicago's United Center. It'll be a
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: pre released listening experience for his upcoming postumist album Fighting Demons,
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: and also an exclusive preview of the HBO documentary Juice
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: World Into the Abyss. There'll be special guest performances and appearance. Yeah,

- 1:13:59Speaker 1: him lexing when he was on Air Drake and sharing
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: that on social media. Here it is, oh my god,
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: who's doing it? Like all right now? And after that
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: people were like hating on him, I guess for posting
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: on Air Drake. And here's what he had to say
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: about that. If you were doing the same thing I
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: was doing. Y'all take pict y'all do videos too? Who
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: what y'all crazy? You better enjoy every moment. I mean,

- 1:14:38Speaker 1: gonna take pictures. Everybody would take pictures too, all right, right,
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: And I'm sure Drake knew he was doing that absolutely,
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: all right. Now, Jesse's small lat We told you he's
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: been testifying in his own trial. So yesterday he was
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: back on the stand and Jesse, just so you know,

- 1:15:00Speaker 1: concluded yesterday and it was more than five days of testimony.
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: There were fourteen witnesses. The defense rested its case. The
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: prosecution did not call any rebuttal witnesses, which really is
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: his word versus the two brothers words. That's really what
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: this case is. Yeah, but they do have there is
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: there's text messages and things like that. It just depends
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: on how you interpret it correct because the cross examination
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: continued yesterday and how his version of events is different
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: than the events of the two brothers, Bola and Ola

- 1:15:35Speaker 1: without guilty without a doubt. Yeah, if there's any doubt,
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: then yea eagle wal all right. So Jesse Smallette is
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: saying that it was not a staged attack and that
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: he did not recruit the brothers for a staged attack.
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: He said he never told them to buy a red
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: hat to look like Trump supporters or any items in particularly.
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: He also said he never told them to do any
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: sort of rehearsal of the alleged fake attack. If you recall,
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: they were saying that they were driving around and JERRYS
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: saw footage of the vehicle riding around smalltt neighborhood, but
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: no one ever got out. So Jesse's explanation is that
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: he was phone texting about doing an interview and so
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: he didn't want to do it right then because it
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: was weird that Ola was there. So he told Jerrys
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: it was easier to just use the interview as a reason. Well,
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: now we can't really work out, so I'll drive you back.
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: And they also said that they passed the staircase where
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: the alleged attack unfolded three times during this drive around,
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: and he said, well, it was around my apartment, so
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: that's why. Yeah, all that, you still got to prove
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: without a doubt that that was the reason. I mean,
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: because people do things, stupid things, and in the law
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: you have to prove without a doubt, and you know
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: there is doubt. There was. They didn't write on text
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: like yeah, it worked, let's keep it moving on. There's
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: no phone taps one thing that did happen though, Special
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: Prosecutor Dan Webb was reading some things from off Instagram
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: and he kept using the N word. He was reading
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: messages out loud that included the N word, and he
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: kept doing it. So Smilett was like, Uh, can you
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: just say the N word or spell the word out
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: of respect for every African American here? And so I
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: thought that was honorable, yeah, because that is like, why
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: would Occasian prosecutor keeps saying no, sir, sir, Come on, sir,
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: can you just say the N word? We know what
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: you mean? All right? So yes, so I guess we'll
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: find out pretty soon what's going to happen. We'll keep
