- 0:55Speaker 1: glorious morning. The reason I'm having a glorious morning is
- 0:58Speaker 1: because I have caught up on American odds, on Stars
- 1:02Speaker 1: Drop One the Clues Bombs for American Gods. I read
- 1:04Speaker 1: that book a long time ago on the recommendation of
- 1:06Speaker 1: a friend, and I don't even read a lot of
- 1:08Speaker 1: fictional books. But that TV show is amazing. What's that about.
- 1:13Speaker 1: It's just all about the new gods versus the old gods.
- 1:16Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all realized that yet by watching
- 1:18Speaker 1: the TV show, but if you've read the book, then
- 1:20Speaker 1: you'll realize that it's like Zeus and Thor and low
- 1:25Speaker 1: Key and all of the gods versus the new gods,
- 1:28Speaker 1: like the Internet and lust and money. Oh, it's amazing, incredible, incredible.
- 1:33Speaker 1: And you know what those amazing David Banner is the
- 1:35Speaker 1: god box drop one the clues bombs for that damn it.

- 1:42Speaker 1: it all right. Well last night with some tragic news
- 1:45Speaker 1: which we'll get into this morning, and front page news.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Of course, I hate when these kind of things are
- 1:50Speaker 1: attached to celebrity. By the way, right, Ariana Grande concert
- 1:53Speaker 1: will tell you about what they know about the bombing,
- 1:55Speaker 1: will tell you how it happened, the person it was.
- 1:58Speaker 1: One person that was involvedlved he did. Yes, congratulations, I'm
- 2:02Speaker 1: happy he's gone. But we'll give you all of the
- 2:05Speaker 1: details on that. Really tragic I was. I couldn't believe
- 2:09Speaker 1: it at an Ariana Grande concept. Yeah, and I don't
- 2:11Speaker 1: like when celebrities attached to it, because then people try
- 2:13Speaker 1: to make stupid jokes that have nothing to do with
- 2:15Speaker 1: nothing baally, you know what I mean, like making jokes
- 2:17Speaker 1: regarding revolving around Ariana Grandale when it's like, yeah, nineteen
- 2:20Speaker 1: people just got killed and fifty people got injured. Bro
- 2:23Speaker 1: with twenty two people, twenty two people died, Yeah, Jesus Christ.
- 2:26Speaker 1: And I'm sure they're going to keep on updating that.
- 2:28Speaker 1: So we'll give you all of the information, everything that
- 2:31Speaker 1: we know about that. Now, we have some special guests
- 2:33Speaker 1: joining us this morning, and well, this is a great
- 2:35Speaker 1: time to have these guests on. And I didn't even
- 2:37Speaker 1: realize this month was National Mental Health Awareness. Mouthful. Yeah.
- 2:41Speaker 1: The only reason I knew that is that shout out
- 2:43Speaker 1: to Stacy Tisdale. She comes up here sometimes. She's our
- 2:46Speaker 1: expert on finances. She actually has been doing some financial
- 2:50Speaker 1: series that's for our mental health awareness because a lot
- 2:52Speaker 1: of times people have issues when a lot of issues
- 2:56Speaker 1: are also connected to finances for some people. And I
- 2:59Speaker 1: love how this came together. This is how you know
- 3:01Speaker 1: God is real because I talked about it on the
- 3:04Speaker 1: air saying that we wanted to have somebody up here
- 3:06Speaker 1: to address mental health in our community, and everybody started
- 3:09Speaker 1: hitting me about Rashawn Miller. Right, So I reached out
- 3:12Speaker 1: to Rashawan, and then somebody reached out to you about
- 3:15Speaker 1: doctor Jasper. Yes, my friend Kane and his brother is
- 3:19Speaker 1: doctor Jasper and they actually own mental health facilities in
- 3:21Speaker 1: Brooklyn and he's a clinical psychologist. And come to find out,
- 3:24Speaker 1: doctor Jasper actually treated Rashawn. Yeah, so what kind of
- 3:27Speaker 1: coincidence is that? Yes, so we got both of them
- 3:29Speaker 1: up here this morning in the seven o'clock hour, and
- 3:32Speaker 1: Victor Crue will be joining us this morning. Oh wow, Yes,
- 3:34Speaker 1: So don't go anywhere. It's the world Most Dangerous Want
- 3:37Speaker 1: to show to Breakfast club? Front Page News is up next. Hey,
- 3:39Speaker 1: it's the World Most Dangerous Morning to show to Breakfast Club.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Charlomagne and God Angelie Ye dj NVA is on vacation
- 3:44Speaker 1: now with Kendrick Lamar. Be humble, And I keep telling y'all,
- 3:47Speaker 1: you can't be humble after you call somebody a bitch. Okay,
- 3:49Speaker 1: you can't say bitch, sit down and then tell me
- 3:52Speaker 1: to be humble. You need to relax. Everybody, Relax now,
- 3:56Speaker 1: Front Page News now, right, Yeah, you're gonna do sports. Okay.
- 4:00Speaker 1: NBA Playoff recap. Golden State Warriors beat the Spurs one
- 4:03Speaker 1: twenty nine, one fifteen. They swept the Spurs. Tonight the
- 4:06Speaker 1: Cavs play the Celtics. I don't know why the Calves
- 4:08Speaker 1: were prolonged in this series. I don't know why they
- 4:09Speaker 1: let the Celtics win the last game. But they need
- 4:12Speaker 1: to just go ahead and get this over with so
- 4:13Speaker 1: we can get to the finals. That we all knew
- 4:15Speaker 1: what was gonna happen since last year's finals Golden State
- 4:18Speaker 1: Warriors versus the Cleveland Cavalists. I said something about Lebron
- 4:21Speaker 1: confronting a fan. I didn't even see that that happened. Yeah,
- 4:25Speaker 1: all I know. The NBA Playoffs was trash and this
- 4:27Speaker 1: is a by product of letting everybody click up and
- 4:30Speaker 1: all of the best talent being on one team. It's
- 4:32Speaker 1: just not fair and balanced across the league. And it sucked.
- 4:35Speaker 1: And hopefully the finals goes seven games and every game
- 4:38Speaker 1: goes into overtime. That's the only thing that can make
- 4:41Speaker 1: up for this white ass NBA Playoffs. Okay, all right, now,
- 4:44Speaker 1: let's talk about this Ariana Grande concert right now in Manchester, England,
- 4:48Speaker 1: The police are treating this as a terrorist attack. They're
- 4:52Speaker 1: saying so far, twenty two people were killed and more
- 4:55Speaker 1: than sixty people were injured. And that was at the
- 4:59Speaker 1: end of Arianna Grande set. Concertgoers were starting to leave.
- 5:03Speaker 1: She was performing Dangerous Woman. She had just finished performing that,
- 5:06Speaker 1: and that's when there was a loud blast. There were
- 5:09Speaker 1: about twenty two thousand people at the concert, and right
- 5:12Speaker 1: now here is what they are saying so far. They
- 5:16Speaker 1: are saying that the man who was actually the terrorists
- 5:19Speaker 1: was killed in the attack as well, and that he
- 5:21Speaker 1: acted by himself. He was alone. Was he inside outside?
- 5:25Speaker 1: I think it was like towards the exit, so I
- 5:27Speaker 1: guess he was inside. Some people are saying there was
- 5:30Speaker 1: barely any security and people weren't being checked. All they
- 5:32Speaker 1: were concerned about was do you have bottles of water
- 5:34Speaker 1: when you come inside? Bottles of water? You know, by
- 5:37Speaker 1: the water you're not supposed to bring your own bottle
- 5:38Speaker 1: of water or anything inside the arena. Always think about that,
- 5:41Speaker 1: Like at the airport, they'd be so focused on liquids
- 5:44Speaker 1: in creams and gaels that they probably just missile with
- 5:47Speaker 1: the actual weapons and bombs. Yeah, so this whole blast
- 5:50Speaker 1: took place right near the box office. A lot of
- 5:52Speaker 1: parents were there waiting for their kids. Another issue was
- 5:55Speaker 1: that a lot of kids were there without their parents
- 5:58Speaker 1: inside the concert, so it was a lot of mayhem
- 6:01Speaker 1: and nobody there to kind of handle the situation and
- 6:03Speaker 1: calm it down. Now here's what the chaos sounded like.
- 6:12Speaker 1: All that's sad, man, so sad now. Arianna Grande tweeted
- 6:25Speaker 1: out as well after this happened, By the way, she's
- 6:27Speaker 1: canceled the rest of her European tour. Yeah you think, yeah,
- 6:31Speaker 1: she tweeted out, broken from the bottom of my heart,
- 6:33Speaker 1: I am so so sorry. I don't have words. All
- 6:36Speaker 1: that do was increase my paranoia and anxiety because the
- 6:38Speaker 1: scariest thing about life is you cannot control other people's crazy. Okay. Now,
- 6:43Speaker 1: in the meantime, Donald Trump is in the Middle East,
- 6:45Speaker 1: and he said, so many young, beautiful, innocent people living
- 6:47Speaker 1: and enjoying their lives murdered by evil losers. I won't
- 6:50Speaker 1: call them monsters because they would like that term, they
- 6:53Speaker 1: would think that's a great name. I will call them
- 6:55Speaker 1: from now one losers because that's what they are there, losers,
- 6:59Speaker 1: and we'll have more of them. But their losers. Just
- 7:01Speaker 1: remember that was the guy connected to any terrorists organization.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Invest getting that right now, so they don't know what
- 7:06Speaker 1: that's the main thing they're trying to find out. He
- 7:08Speaker 1: was there alone, but they're trying to see if there
- 7:09Speaker 1: was other connections. I encourage everyone whenever you feel like
- 7:12Speaker 1: you want to hurt other people or kill other people,
- 7:15Speaker 1: start with yourself. That's all. Just start with yourself and
- 7:19Speaker 1: that will be that. Please. All right, Well, that is
- 7:21Speaker 1: your front page news. Yes, that's front page news. Hold

- 10:00Speaker 1: want to sell the world where I'm mad this morning.
- 10:02Speaker 1: When you got a good man, like a good father,
- 10:05Speaker 1: all things woman, baby dad drop. Anything a woman got
- 10:09Speaker 1: to do is go to the court and say, look,
- 10:11Speaker 1: I need things. I need that to kid. I can
- 10:15Speaker 1: your baby mom took you to court? Hold on, no,
- 10:18Speaker 1: I'm just summer. I came out. A lot of homeboys.
- 10:21Speaker 1: They take care of their kids, they mean, and y'all,
- 10:23Speaker 1: let make it off like a man to go and
- 10:26Speaker 1: get the same work that a woman gets. What you like,
- 10:30Speaker 1: when a guy has a deadbeat baby mama, it ain't
- 10:33Speaker 1: that's okay, it's still harpy mothers there and that that's cool.
- 10:37Speaker 1: They get food, slap ladd the job for eedt, they
- 10:41Speaker 1: go cram balls, they get the hand weeds. But when
- 10:44Speaker 1: a dad doing a thing and a mom ain't doing that,
- 10:46Speaker 1: just like whatever, that's true. But because if you're a
- 10:50Speaker 1: mom and the and the baby lives with the dad,
- 10:52Speaker 1: you do have to pay child support. No, but what
- 10:54Speaker 1: he's saying is absolutely positively true. But that's because a
- 10:57Speaker 1: father's job is to protect and provide. And that's just
- 10:59Speaker 1: the way they look at the structure. That's all, okay,
- 11:07Speaker 1: I mean, they do they're doing a lot of cases.
- 11:09Speaker 1: But it's more of a fight I've seen. I've seen
- 11:11Speaker 1: brothers fight for custody of their kids. I mean you,
- 11:13Speaker 1: because you re you really got to prove that a
- 11:15Speaker 1: mom is a piece of fisis in order to get typically.

- 13:28Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. It's about report. Is the rumor report? Angela ye,
- 13:41Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. All right, come on, Adrian Brouna, we
- 13:45Speaker 1: got to get it together. He was ordered to spend
- 13:47Speaker 1: the next three days in jail, and that is for
- 13:50Speaker 1: an outstanding warrant for a disorderly conduct that's from an
- 13:53Speaker 1: incident that happened back in twenty fourteen in a bar
- 13:55Speaker 1: in Kentucky. He pleaded guilty to the disorderly conduct charge.
- 13:59Speaker 1: He got a suspended sentence, but he was charged with
- 14:02Speaker 1: contempt because he did not appear in court for previous
- 14:04Speaker 1: hearings in the case. And that's why he was sentenced
- 14:06Speaker 1: to three days in jail. Well, it's mental health away
- 14:09Speaker 1: in this month. Pretty sure Adrian Bronan suffers from some
- 14:11Speaker 1: type of mental health disorder. It's a chemical imbalanced there, clearly,
- 14:16Speaker 1: all right, DJ Khalett. Would you like to see him
- 14:19Speaker 1: as a label executive? Isn't he already a label executive? Well,
- 14:22Speaker 1: according to reports, he could soon be running epic records.
- 14:25Speaker 1: He is petitioning to get that job. He said, I
- 14:28Speaker 1: make more happen than anyone in the game. Why would
- 14:30Speaker 1: I not be considered to run the label? That's what
- 14:32Speaker 1: an industry insider is saying. I'm not don't I don't
- 14:35Speaker 1: think I like that idea. But I don't know if
- 14:37Speaker 1: I would like to see him as an executive because
- 14:39Speaker 1: he's such an active artist, you know what I mean. Like,
- 14:42Speaker 1: I feel like he probably he could manipulate a lot
- 14:44Speaker 1: of budgets, you know, would he would he allocate the
- 14:46Speaker 1: proper resources to other artists, or would he try to
- 14:49Speaker 1: keep things for himself and his we the best label,
- 14:51Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like it's kind of hard
- 14:52Speaker 1: to be fair and balanced in that position. Yeah, it's
- 14:55Speaker 1: a difficult, But you know what, no matter who's an executive,
- 14:57Speaker 1: I guess people always have an affinity towards certain people,
- 15:01Speaker 1: like maybe somebody that you sign, somebody that you personally know.
- 15:04Speaker 1: People give money and give preference to people regardless. I
- 15:07Speaker 1: feel more comfortable with somebody who isn't an artist, or
- 15:10Speaker 1: somebody who used to be an artist but isn't an
- 15:12Speaker 1: active artist anymore. College too active, I think to run
- 15:14Speaker 1: a whole label he's got a lot going on. Yeah,
- 15:16Speaker 1: successfully he don't even like to get on planes. Lab dot,
- 15:20Speaker 1: let get on plane? Has he been getting on planes
- 15:22Speaker 1: an hour? Still? I have no idea? All right, bad? Wow?
- 15:25Speaker 1: He was in Vegas and apparently on Instagram live, he
- 15:29Speaker 1: kicked a girl out of the room in his suite
- 15:32Speaker 1: during his live stream. Now what happened was, I guess
- 15:35Speaker 1: he had a bunch of girls in the room and
- 15:37Speaker 1: one girl did not want to be on camera. And
- 15:40Speaker 1: here's how their conversation was going. I said, I, who
- 15:44Speaker 1: don't have more than foodies have mouldies should be close.
- 15:49Speaker 1: You don't even understand. I mean, you got bodies, I said,
- 15:57Speaker 1: girls have more bodies. I don't even understand what he
- 15:59Speaker 1: tells her. He said that he only messes with girls
- 16:02Speaker 1: that have less than four bodies. How does he know
- 16:04Speaker 1: in this industry, you don't know these girls real body count. Now,
- 16:07Speaker 1: the low detective test determined that absolutely, I can name
- 16:10Speaker 1: three girls that I know you messed with it. I
- 16:12Speaker 1: know ten of the dudes had text with stop it right.
- 16:15Speaker 1: We sure all can relax with Chad Moss. And you
- 16:18Speaker 1: can't be mad at the girl because she doesn't want
- 16:20Speaker 1: to be on camera with you who don't want to
- 16:22Speaker 1: be on camera with Sad Moss. That doesn't well. His
- 16:24Speaker 1: thing he said was that she was snapchatting everybody all day,
- 16:27Speaker 1: So he said, I'm being respectful. She even snapchat and
- 16:30Speaker 1: I don't want to get on your snapchat And things
- 16:32Speaker 1: started escalating between the two of them, and that's when
- 16:34Speaker 1: he eventually made her get out and he said, no
- 16:36Speaker 1: matter where, I'm the king of this issue. She don't
- 16:39Speaker 1: want to be on Shad moss snapchat. Your snapchat ain't lit, bro,
- 16:42Speaker 1: you don't want nobody to see her with Shad Moss?
- 16:45Speaker 1: Can you be mad at her for that? That's actually
- 16:47Speaker 1: a wise decision on her board? But why was she there? Exactly?
- 16:50Speaker 1: That's even more more. I'll be like, let me, why
- 16:52Speaker 1: am I here? She was going to buy while challenge.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Maybe she really wasn't there. All right, Well, I'm Angela
- 16:57Speaker 1: Yee and that is your rumor reports and coming up,
- 17:00Speaker 1: we are going to discuss mental health morning. Everybody is
- 17:03Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we all the
- 17:06Speaker 1: breakfast club. I really really liked this because we had
- 17:10Speaker 1: a conversation about a week or two ago and I
- 17:12Speaker 1: was like, we really need to start discussing mental health
- 17:15Speaker 1: issues in the black community, just a community period hip hop,
- 17:18Speaker 1: because I feel like there's a lot of Negroes that
- 17:20Speaker 1: have mental health issues and aren't dealing with them. It's
- 17:22Speaker 1: been an ongoing discussion because we keep seeing people saying
- 17:24Speaker 1: that they've been suffering through depression, they've struggled with when
- 17:28Speaker 1: it commits suicide. They have all kinds of things that
- 17:31Speaker 1: they have not been diagnosed. People have a stigma attached
- 17:34Speaker 1: to going to seek help with their issues. So we
- 17:37Speaker 1: sent out the bat signal yeah when when we said
- 17:40Speaker 1: it actually on the Breakfast Club, I got a bunch
- 17:41Speaker 1: of tweets they would like, bring Rashaan Miller on did
- 17:45Speaker 1: you tell your name right? Yeah? Got you. So after
- 17:49Speaker 1: they said Rashaan that Angelie had a friend and my
- 17:52Speaker 1: boy Cannon hit me up. They have mental health facilities right,
- 17:55Speaker 1: ten of them that they own, and he said, you know,
- 17:57Speaker 1: my brother's a psychologist and we should get them up here.
- 17:59Speaker 1: And now we have a doctor Jasper here. Look out God,
- 18:03Speaker 1: look out God works. Though yes, doctor Jasper treated Rashaw
- 18:11Speaker 1: made the same I want to get Rashaan up here,
- 18:13Speaker 1: and I said, okay, Well, I want to get doctor
- 18:15Speaker 1: Jasper up here. And then it turns out with the
- 18:17Speaker 1: article that you guys sent me from your blog was basically,
- 18:21Speaker 1: you went to go seek help from doctor Jasper, right right,
- 18:23Speaker 1: right right? Why why did you seek help from doctor Um?
- 18:26Speaker 1: It started off in two thousand and six. I actually
- 18:28Speaker 1: started to withdraw from people, and UM I was diagnosed
- 18:32Speaker 1: with about polar disorder. UM went through a period where
- 18:35Speaker 1: I didn't sleep for about two weeks and I was
- 18:36Speaker 1: actually in college at the time, and my friends didn't
- 18:39Speaker 1: know anything that was going on. I was hospitalized. I
- 18:41Speaker 1: was actually in a straight jack and in a padded
- 18:43Speaker 1: room because of the fact when my family took me
- 18:45Speaker 1: to the hospital, I was fighting. I didn't want to
- 18:48Speaker 1: go because I grew up played sports, actually graduated in
- 18:53Speaker 1: the top of my class. So when I went to college,
- 18:54Speaker 1: you know, I felt like I was the man got
- 18:57Speaker 1: there school or thirty thousand students. I feel like I
- 19:00Speaker 1: was nobody. Almost Carolina Hill. So Caroline, okay, oh yeah,
- 19:07Speaker 1: said Caroline. I'm like, what do you mean the game?
- 19:09Speaker 1: Cockatar Hill? Now? All right? So went there. UM had
- 19:14Speaker 1: a hard time, just a justin ended up. Like I said,
- 19:16Speaker 1: I was diagnosed about polar disorder with psychot features. I
- 19:18Speaker 1: was hearing voice the reason why I went to see
- 19:20Speaker 1: doctor Jasper. For one, he's a fraternity brother and he
- 19:23Speaker 1: was referred to me. But then also when I saw him,
- 19:26Speaker 1: he looked like me. It was black black. He wore
- 19:29Speaker 1: regular clothes like I did. He didn't have a suit
- 19:31Speaker 1: and tie on, and he talked like me. So he
- 19:33Speaker 1: was able to I was able to relate that that
- 19:35Speaker 1: wall was broken just off of just the appearance. It
- 19:38Speaker 1: got to a point where he was like, well, I'm
- 19:40Speaker 1: at a point where I can't help you anymore. He
- 19:43Speaker 1: was like, you need to go see this other doctor
- 19:45Speaker 1: when he when he told me that it was a
- 19:47Speaker 1: white man. But I don't developed the trust with him
- 19:52Speaker 1: that I trusted him, you know, to go actually go
- 19:53Speaker 1: to the white man they referred you, and you also
- 19:57Speaker 1: had broken down that barrier with that stigma of actually
- 20:00Speaker 1: been going to seek professional health exactly now you're a psychiatrist,
- 20:03Speaker 1: clinical psychologist. I'm the first black guy to graduate from
- 20:06Speaker 1: our program since nineteen eighty eight. Right, so there aren't
- 20:09Speaker 1: a lot of us to begin with. Right, Black males
- 20:11Speaker 1: are an anomaly with a PhD is even more of
- 20:14Speaker 1: an anomal right, So there aren't a lot of us, right.
- 20:16Speaker 1: So I originally grew up with Brooklyn East, New York, Brooklyn,
- 20:19Speaker 1: So you know, I've seen a lot of things done,
- 20:22Speaker 1: a lot of things. I was an athlete, like Sean
- 20:24Speaker 1: play college basketball, you know, flirt a little bit with
- 20:26Speaker 1: pro ball, and then decided, Okay, I want to do
- 20:29Speaker 1: something different. Right, So my view is a little bit
- 20:32Speaker 1: different than most in my field. You know, I think
- 20:35Speaker 1: that when people talk to me, they see me the
- 20:38Speaker 1: appearance to dress, you know, especially for younger folks, the
- 20:43Speaker 1: things that I enjoy very similar interest. It's not a
- 20:47Speaker 1: very difficult conversation had. I think it's like that for
- 20:49Speaker 1: any field. For any field, you want to see people
- 20:51Speaker 1: who look like That's why I always think we need
- 20:53Speaker 1: more black people in the police. For us in the
- 20:55Speaker 1: medical field, we just knew that look look like us.
- 20:57Speaker 1: But why do you think it's such a stigma surrounding
- 20:59Speaker 1: mental health and the black community. Well, I think that
- 21:03Speaker 1: nobody wants to be considered crazy. There's a distrust of
- 21:06Speaker 1: the system, right, whether that's the medical field, whether that's
- 21:09Speaker 1: the Department of Social Services, whether that's judicial system. Black
- 21:13Speaker 1: folks aren't customary to going to those institution institutions and
- 21:17Speaker 1: talking to folks. We may attribute the idea that we're
- 21:21Speaker 1: going to see someone. Maybe I'm gonna be labeled as crazy,
- 21:23Speaker 1: nobody's gonna want to deal with it. I may not
- 21:25Speaker 1: ever be able to get a job. They might try
- 21:27Speaker 1: to take my kids away from it, right right, My
- 21:29Speaker 1: kids may go in there and say something, and they
- 21:32Speaker 1: may come out and say, hey, we don't think that
- 21:33Speaker 1: you're a good fit. And then look at our communities. Typically,
- 21:37Speaker 1: our leaders in our communities are not psychologists, you know,
- 21:41Speaker 1: they are our ministers, our bishops, like so we're more ceties, celebrities.
- 21:45Speaker 1: We're more inclined to seek, you know, their advice, you know,
- 21:49Speaker 1: seek solace from them as opposed to going to a professional.
- 21:53Speaker 1: A lot of people feel like mental health is an
- 21:55Speaker 1: excuse for kids and parents these days. And the reason
- 21:58Speaker 1: I say that is when I was a child, you
- 22:01Speaker 1: didn't really hear too much about mental issues. You know,
- 22:04Speaker 1: if you had a problem, your parents beat you and
- 22:05Speaker 1: you really and you usually got straight. But now it
- 22:07Speaker 1: seems like mental issues or it's getting a lot worse.
- 22:10Speaker 1: Was it always that bad? Or is it the food?
- 22:13Speaker 1: Is it? Is there? An increase in people who are
- 22:14Speaker 1: suffering from say, depression or bipolar disorder. Are we just
- 22:18Speaker 1: diagnosing it? More? Doesn't increase the access, right, So technology
- 22:23Speaker 1: is created an access to things that's vastly different than
- 22:27Speaker 1: twenty years ago, five years ago. Bullying is a great
- 22:31Speaker 1: example of that. Right. So I grew up, you know,
- 22:34Speaker 1: no cell phones, there was no video, no YouTube. So
- 22:37Speaker 1: if there was a bully, right, he bullied you in
- 22:39Speaker 1: your neighborhood. So when you left that neighborhood, nobody knew that.
- 22:44Speaker 1: You know, the gooch bullied you, right, you know, nobody
- 22:46Speaker 1: knew your name exactly. Now, however, you can go across
- 22:52Speaker 1: the country and if it's gone viral, then everybody knows that. Yeah,
- 22:58Speaker 1: that was yeah coming to I think, just to play
- 23:02Speaker 1: on what you said. Growing up in the older generations,
- 23:05Speaker 1: they didn't talk about this stuff. They always you know,
- 23:08Speaker 1: you put push it to the side, you pray about it,
- 23:11Speaker 1: and then you just move forward. Even when I was diagnosed,
- 23:14Speaker 1: my grandmother she called me and she was she was
- 23:17Speaker 1: saying she listed every singlee that I had at that
- 23:20Speaker 1: particular time. I didn't tell her, and I asked her,
- 23:24Speaker 1: why did she know? She said, she went through that
- 23:26Speaker 1: same thing. She heard voices, she went through period of depression,
- 23:30Speaker 1: but she never got helpful. So it's something that's more
- 23:33Speaker 1: prevalent now because we talk about it more, but it's
- 23:36Speaker 1: something that's not new. All right, this is a great conversation.
- 23:38Speaker 1: I'm glad we're having it. We got more with a
- 23:40Speaker 1: Sean Miller and doctor Jasper coming up and we're gonna
- 23:43Speaker 1: talk about chemical and balance and can you determine it early,
- 23:46Speaker 1: gonna go anywhere as the world the most dangerous, wanting
- 23:47Speaker 1: to show the breakfast club, the breakfast club the most dangerous,
- 23:53Speaker 1: want to show the breakfast club. That's a song I'm
- 23:55Speaker 1: too old for Me goos T shirt. Right now, we're
- 23:58Speaker 1: sitting here with Sean Miller and doctor ask for discussing
- 24:01Speaker 1: mental health. Now, how do you develop bipolar disorder? Is
- 24:04Speaker 1: it something that's hereditary or how does that even happen?
- 24:08Speaker 1: So it's a lot of different factors. You have hereditary
- 24:11Speaker 1: so your genetic makeup. Then you also had your environmental factors.
- 24:15Speaker 1: So if you're experiencing a lot of stress and everything
- 24:17Speaker 1: that's going on that particular time, those types of things
- 24:19Speaker 1: can It's like at my particular point when I had
- 24:21Speaker 1: my psychotic break. It was a perfect stone my biological makeup.
- 24:26Speaker 1: Then I was stressed out, very heavy, and then just
- 24:30Speaker 1: inability to cope right because I didn't know because we
- 24:34Speaker 1: don't we don't teach our people how to cope with
- 24:36Speaker 1: a certain things. We don't teach them those certain skills.
- 24:38Speaker 1: We just say, just pray about it and move on.
- 24:40Speaker 1: So that's what led to my psychotic breaking. In a
- 24:43Speaker 1: lot of times, people don't understand that it's a chemical
- 24:45Speaker 1: imbalance in your body. So I had to take medication, right,
- 24:48Speaker 1: I had to get stable. A lot of times we
- 24:51Speaker 1: were afraid of the types of medication because of the
- 24:52Speaker 1: side effects. Yes, there are side effects, but then also
- 24:55Speaker 1: I understood that if I didn't take my mads. I'm
- 24:58Speaker 1: constantly hearing these voices. A lot of parents don't like
- 25:01Speaker 1: their kids on meds, And he was like, oh, they
- 25:02Speaker 1: don't put my child put them on. Committed suicide because
- 25:06Speaker 1: he didn't want to take his medication anymore because it
- 25:08Speaker 1: made him nauseous. He stopped taking it and he ended up.
- 25:11Speaker 1: And we always talk about, oh, he killed himself. That's
- 25:13Speaker 1: so selfish. You can't do that. But you don't know
- 25:15Speaker 1: if people have a chemical imbalance. They're off the medication
- 25:18Speaker 1: and not taking the right medication, and then something like
- 25:20Speaker 1: that could potentially happen. So with me, after seeing doctor
- 25:24Speaker 1: Jasper and then actually after going to the other psychiatrists
- 25:27Speaker 1: and actually getting my mids and stuff. Once I got better,
- 25:30Speaker 1: I stopped taking my meds. I stopped going to therapy,
- 25:32Speaker 1: which it is typical because of the fact that I
- 25:34Speaker 1: felt like I was good. You know, when you better,
- 25:35Speaker 1: though you stopped, but still so a mental illness is
- 25:39Speaker 1: something that you could deal with with for the rest
- 25:40Speaker 1: of your life. So once I stopped taking my meds
- 25:42Speaker 1: and everything and I went back to school, everything started back.
- 25:46Speaker 1: But when everything started back, instead of me going back
- 25:48Speaker 1: to therapy and getting back on meds, I turned to alcohol.
- 25:51Speaker 1: I was drinking a fifth tequila every other day. We
- 25:54Speaker 1: kind of tequille, see all that do is make you madden?
- 25:57Speaker 1: Peak got cast to drug going this or something. I
- 26:03Speaker 1: did that for three and a half years. Jesus Christ.
- 26:05Speaker 1: During that poun period, the voices got louder. I oded
- 26:08Speaker 1: on peels twice, trying to um die by suicide and
- 26:11Speaker 1: not commit, because commit it's more like it's a crime.
- 26:14Speaker 1: So we say die by suicide. Yeah, so it's about
- 26:17Speaker 1: your language that we used. That's like when you use crazy,
- 26:19Speaker 1: because we use crazy too loosely when we describe people.
- 26:22Speaker 1: That's why a lot of people don't actually talk about
- 26:24Speaker 1: mental health issues. Voice what what would the voice is
- 26:26Speaker 1: saying to you? You know, you shouldn't be here, No
- 26:29Speaker 1: one cares, why even try? You should just kill yourself.
- 26:33Speaker 1: My last suicide temp, I put a gun in my
- 26:35Speaker 1: head and pulled the trip. What happened? Jam? Damn? So
- 26:40Speaker 1: when it jammed, all I could do with it damn?
- 26:42Speaker 1: Cry because you feel like you weren't even good enough.
- 26:45Speaker 1: The case of right, I want to say something, right,
- 26:47Speaker 1: so mental health. Right, let's talk about mental health. Right.
- 26:49Speaker 1: Everybody needs to understand right when we go I tell
- 26:52Speaker 1: people this other time people have a cold, Right, have
- 26:56Speaker 1: a flu? They go see thee right. Right, mental health
- 27:00Speaker 1: is no different. Right. We need to practice and engage
- 27:03Speaker 1: in mental health exercises, whether we are normal, which is
- 27:08Speaker 1: another word. I don't use normal or not right as
- 27:11Speaker 1: a sort of preventative process. Right, Why aren't we practicing, um,
- 27:16Speaker 1: you know, and working on our brain as a powerful muscle. Right,
- 27:20Speaker 1: So I'll do something at some point in time. I
- 27:22Speaker 1: think that the biggest thing that I passed on to Sean,
- 27:25Speaker 1: or why I tried to pass on to Sean, was
- 27:27Speaker 1: number one is okay, right, you you're experiencing these things, right,
- 27:32Speaker 1: It doesn't diminish who you are, your character, doesn't make
- 27:35Speaker 1: you any less of a man. This is what you're
- 27:37Speaker 1: dealing with. So how do we manage this and move forward? Right? Because,
- 27:42Speaker 1: like he said, he's going to experience these things for
- 27:45Speaker 1: the rest of his life. Right, This isn't gonna go away, right,
- 27:47Speaker 1: He's gonna get his highs, he's gonna get his lows,
- 27:49Speaker 1: he's gonna have those those thoughts, those strong feelings of
- 27:53Speaker 1: self doubt. But we got to figure out the way
- 27:56Speaker 1: to manage it. And it's okay to say, you know what,
- 27:58Speaker 1: this is what I experience. Right, So normal people have
- 28:03Speaker 1: things weighing heavy on, right, and we all have somebody
- 28:05Speaker 1: that we talked to. Right, You bounce things off of
- 28:08Speaker 1: your friend whatever, and you start to feel tremendously better
- 28:12Speaker 1: because you feel like, you know what, I just let
- 28:14Speaker 1: the cat out the bag. I was holding onto this
- 28:17Speaker 1: and I really was feeling maybe ashamed or embarrassed about it,
- 28:21Speaker 1: because that's a strong part of it. I'm ashamed and
- 28:23Speaker 1: or embarrassed to let you know that I'm experiencing these
- 28:27Speaker 1: things right for anybody, right even children, So I don't
- 28:31Speaker 1: want people to know. Then we talk and we realize
- 28:35Speaker 1: you're going through some of the same things, or you
- 28:38Speaker 1: know somebody that's going through the same things. So when
- 28:41Speaker 1: we feel like we're walking in similar path with somebody,
- 28:44Speaker 1: we say, Okay, well, I'm not that much different than
- 28:47Speaker 1: the rest. What Sean, do you think if you would
- 28:49Speaker 1: have been embraced by people in college, you'd felt the
- 28:51Speaker 1: same way, Because I think about when I was younger,
- 28:52Speaker 1: I think getna lie of trouble, and there was one
- 28:54Speaker 1: point where they had me sitting down the Psychatris asked
- 28:56Speaker 1: me the same thing. Do I hear voices and stuff
- 28:58Speaker 1: like that? I used to, but I would go outside
- 28:59Speaker 1: and like there would be bees, like around the fly
- 29:01Speaker 1: put my hand on the beach just to get stung,
- 29:03Speaker 1: to get attention. So you think you just wanting though
- 29:06Speaker 1: I received attention. I was in the frat, I was
- 29:09Speaker 1: I played sports, I played football and around track of Carolina.
- 29:12Speaker 1: So it wasn't the fact that I didn't have the attention.
- 29:15Speaker 1: I had a chemical and balance going on. So it
- 29:17Speaker 1: wasn't the self esteem issue, you know, like I said,
- 29:20Speaker 1: just coming up, growing up, I was the man it was.
- 29:23Speaker 1: It was nothing that that wasn't an issue. It was
- 29:26Speaker 1: more of the fact that now my friends didn't pick
- 29:27Speaker 1: up on the signs and symptoms than I was going
- 29:29Speaker 1: through because, like I said, in my last two years,
- 29:31Speaker 1: I was drinking alcohol every single day. I was going
- 29:33Speaker 1: to class drinking alcohol. Like I had, I put a
- 29:36Speaker 1: trone in the boat and go to class, then I'll
- 29:38Speaker 1: go to work. Well made you want to self medicate,
- 29:40Speaker 1: especially being that you already had went through. They think
- 29:42Speaker 1: about our society. Whenever you have a long day or
- 29:45Speaker 1: stressful day at work, what you do when you go home.
- 29:47Speaker 1: Most people go get a drink. It's it's it's it's
- 29:50Speaker 1: okay to get drink. It's okay to get right. So
- 29:54Speaker 1: it's okay to do those types of things. It's not
- 29:55Speaker 1: okay to get psychiatric health. Now, what about financially? I
- 29:59Speaker 1: know some people feel like does insurance cover need going
- 30:02Speaker 1: to see a psychologist because I'm having some issues? How
- 30:05Speaker 1: how expensive is it is it covered by insurance? Most
- 30:08Speaker 1: insurances do cover it, but you still in most situations.
- 30:14Speaker 1: Most counties will allow you to come. If you are
- 30:17Speaker 1: um an indigent population, don't have any finances, don't have
- 30:21Speaker 1: any insurance, they will present to you what's called the
- 30:24Speaker 1: sliding scale fee and should be able to address you know,
- 30:27Speaker 1: some of that with you in terms of a copay
- 30:29Speaker 1: based on your income if you have any income. If not,
- 30:33Speaker 1: UH still should be able to let you come and
- 30:37Speaker 1: seek service. How do you how do you recognize is
- 30:39Speaker 1: there any way too? Because you talk about a chemical imbalance?
- 30:42Speaker 1: Is there any way to figure out a chemical imbalance?
- 30:45Speaker 1: Can see so many different things. Early we can tell
- 30:47Speaker 1: if a child has down syndrome. Early we can tell
- 30:50Speaker 1: so much. We can't figure out somebody's chemical imbalance. It's
- 30:52Speaker 1: it's really hard in that respect to say, you know,
- 30:56Speaker 1: it looks like there's something off here, right, And a
- 30:59Speaker 1: lot of times, you know, we're theory based practice. Right.
- 31:04Speaker 1: So Sean was put on a man. Let's say that
- 31:06Speaker 1: man didn't work right, as doctor would take him off
- 31:09Speaker 1: that man and put him on a different man. Right,
- 31:12Speaker 1: So it's all trial and run to be able to
- 31:14Speaker 1: find what works best, and then we argue based on
- 31:17Speaker 1: that what we think is the ideology or the cause
- 31:21Speaker 1: of it, right, So it's all theory. Bas We got
- 31:26Speaker 1: more with with Sean Miller and doctor Jasper coming up
- 31:29Speaker 1: in a few minutes, and we're going to discuss the
- 31:31Speaker 1: mental health and hip hop. Some of these negros need help. Okay,
- 31:36Speaker 1: you gotta stop calling them crazy. They just really need help.
- 31:38Speaker 1: It's the world's most They just want to show the
- 31:39Speaker 1: breakfast club most dangerous, wanting to show the breakfast club.
- 31:42Speaker 1: Right now, we're sitting here with Sean Miller and doctor
- 31:44Speaker 1: Jasper discussing mental health. It's crazy to me because I
- 31:49Speaker 1: think last week maybe I heard a story of an
- 31:51Speaker 1: eight year old committing suicide, and I'm like, at eight,
- 31:55Speaker 1: I was not thinking about killing myself. A lot tougher
- 31:59Speaker 1: now media, But how do you know the difference though
- 32:05Speaker 1: these kids eight? Like, at eight, you're gonna be going
- 32:07Speaker 1: through some things. You're gonna have some internal issues. Maybe
- 32:10Speaker 1: we don't. We don't know, you know. That's how I
- 32:13Speaker 1: think had gotten beat up in schooling out. The social
- 32:17Speaker 1: media trajectory has vastly changed the landscape. We become desensitized
- 32:23Speaker 1: to trauma, to serious events because we see them so much.
- 32:29Speaker 1: That's felice killings whenever I hear about the police officer
- 32:32Speaker 1: killing it, I'm black man, I'm like, I'm numb to
- 32:34Speaker 1: it now, and I know I shouldn't feel that way.
- 32:36Speaker 1: You you either become desensitized to it or oversensitized or
- 32:39Speaker 1: hypersensitive to it, right, So a lot of people will
- 32:42Speaker 1: become desensitized to it, which kind of takes some of
- 32:46Speaker 1: your humanity away, right, that ability to feel, you know,
- 32:50Speaker 1: be empathetic towards another person as they're going through this.
- 32:53Speaker 1: But if you look on social media every day and
- 32:56Speaker 1: you see fights and you know all these different things,
- 32:59Speaker 1: you're like, you know, okay, cool, I just saw this yesterday.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Absolutely how much of a fact that is being black?
- 33:07Speaker 1: Because I think that we gotta be going through some
- 33:09Speaker 1: type of PTSD. Man, this this you know, trauma is relative, right,
- 33:13Speaker 1: So it's relative to the person, right, So I experience,
- 33:16Speaker 1: you know, alone lends itself to you always feel like
- 33:20Speaker 1: you're you're in sight, right, So we deal with things
- 33:24Speaker 1: sometimes that others don't, especially as black men. We have
- 33:28Speaker 1: to wear so many different masks. You gotta think about
- 33:30Speaker 1: if you're going into a room with a bunch of
- 33:31Speaker 1: white people, you gotta you know, make sure that you
- 33:34Speaker 1: on point, you know if vernacular and I mean I
- 33:40Speaker 1: have to say, I can't make them feel comfortable. I
- 33:44Speaker 1: gotta be comfortable. I'm definitely I mean, that's that's very important.
- 33:47Speaker 1: But a lot of people are not like that. You know,
- 33:49Speaker 1: we gotta wear we gotta figure out when you're with
- 33:51Speaker 1: the boys, you know, you gotta talk a certain way,
- 33:54Speaker 1: and a lot of times when we were with our boys,
- 33:55Speaker 1: we don't talk about a lot of stuff that we
- 33:56Speaker 1: need to actually talk about. Me and my wife started
- 33:59Speaker 1: the podcast about my relationships, and I got so many
- 34:02Speaker 1: people calling me and be like, yo, it's it's real
- 34:04Speaker 1: because nobody talks about relationship and I'm thinking about when
- 34:07Speaker 1: I'm with my boys, We'll never be like yo, son,
- 34:09Speaker 1: I'm going through this at home. We don't do it right,
- 34:11Speaker 1: I don't. I don't never say because Biggie said problems
- 34:13Speaker 1: with my wife, don't discuss something. Man. But even if
- 34:16Speaker 1: you're having mental health issues, none of my boys ever
- 34:19Speaker 1: was like yo, I felt this way right, and I
- 34:22Speaker 1: felt that way several times, and there's nobody to talk to.
- 34:24Speaker 1: And I'm sure they have so you're absolutely positively right,
- 34:27Speaker 1: like there is nobody to talk to, Like I'm sure
- 34:29Speaker 1: you girls can say I felt this way, but I'll
- 34:31Speaker 1: never come to Charlomane, Charlomagne. I know you. I wouldn't
- 34:33Speaker 1: do that if I were you anyway. But we have
- 34:36Speaker 1: to create that space right right, so and and encourage
- 34:40Speaker 1: each other right and check in on each other right right,
- 34:42Speaker 1: because a lot of times people don't call until they've
- 34:45Speaker 1: gone totally off the rails right right, And it's to
- 34:49Speaker 1: know it's like, hey, okay, I need you. You know
- 34:52Speaker 1: I needed you yesterday and I'm like, well, okay, we're
- 34:55Speaker 1: gonna get through this. But you know I'm gonna ask you,
- 34:57Speaker 1: why didn't you call me yester weakness? I mean, even
- 35:01Speaker 1: when I started sharing my story, a lot of my
- 35:03Speaker 1: friends they were like, why didn't you say something years ago?
- 35:07Speaker 1: I was like, for one, I didn't know how y'all react,
- 35:09Speaker 1: and I was scared a lot of times, I didn't
- 35:11Speaker 1: even know how to put it in the word. And
- 35:12Speaker 1: that's both to you. I just want to tell you
- 35:13Speaker 1: that they say that now because they see the ending.
- 35:15Speaker 1: But if you came five years and go and be like,
- 35:17Speaker 1: I'm hearing voices there, looked at you crazy, But it depends.
- 35:23Speaker 1: I think people understand it yeah, right, people, they don't
- 35:26Speaker 1: understand I have to be comfortable with being vulnerable, right, right,
- 35:29Speaker 1: So so within vulnerability as a certain amount of strength, right,
- 35:33Speaker 1: because I've showed you where I'm most vulnerable, right, and
- 35:38Speaker 1: I'm not gonna allow that vulnerability to stop me from
- 35:42Speaker 1: moving forward. Right. So it's you know again, let's get
- 35:46Speaker 1: to someone making fun of you. Weren't here, y'all? Everybody
- 35:49Speaker 1: make everybody's making fun of me. So I started laughing
- 35:51Speaker 1: with y'all, Right, it might be true. Yeah, my mom's
- 35:55Speaker 1: working three jobs. I wear the same genes to school
- 35:58Speaker 1: every day. Right, so I'm gonna start laughing with y'all.
- 36:01Speaker 1: My reaction changes. It changes your reaction to the circumstance
- 36:06Speaker 1: because you're no longer getting under my skin. I've showed
- 36:09Speaker 1: you that vulnerability, but I've stopped it from allowing me
- 36:12Speaker 1: to move forward and enjoy the process. It's the same thing, right,
- 36:16Speaker 1: So let's talk about where I'm the most vulnerable, and
- 36:18Speaker 1: let's get it out. Say an't need these secrets. So
- 36:20Speaker 1: we know. I have a principle in my book called
- 36:22Speaker 1: live your truth. Nobody can use your truth against you,
- 36:25Speaker 1: And it's the eminem and am out there say everything
- 36:27Speaker 1: about yourself that somebody else could possibly say about you,
- 36:30Speaker 1: and you take the power away from them all day. Question,
- 36:32Speaker 1: do y'all keep up with what's going on in hip hop?
- 36:34Speaker 1: A lot of times? Do y'all ever see certain people
- 36:37Speaker 1: and be like he's going through something? Oh? Yeah, definitely.
- 36:40Speaker 1: Can you see these you see guys crying on Instagram?
- 36:43Speaker 1: Like look at Kanye that he was pretending to be
- 36:48Speaker 1: going through, Uh some type of you know, depression and
- 36:52Speaker 1: whatever it is that they're saying that he was going
- 36:54Speaker 1: through because he wanted to get out of doing this.
- 36:56Speaker 1: Like people don't believe it. Man. Well, I mean, I'm
- 36:58Speaker 1: not going necessarily speculating on his situation, but if I
- 37:01Speaker 1: just gave the eyeball test, I would say that there's
- 37:04Speaker 1: definitely something that we have these conversations right often, right
- 37:07Speaker 1: because we talk every day. Who else have you seen?
- 37:10Speaker 1: As you think? So, I'm gonna be honest with you. Um,
- 37:15Speaker 1: you had the young man Kodak Black on and I
- 37:17Speaker 1: watched him like in the studio, Um, and uh, you know,
- 37:23Speaker 1: I'm not going to throw that on him, but I'm
- 37:24Speaker 1: just trying to figure out where some of these young
- 37:26Speaker 1: dudes are going with it. Like he's one that I
- 37:29Speaker 1: would say, Okay, you know, maybe there's some concern then,
- 37:32Speaker 1: like the Chief Keith. Yeah, Like it's hard to tell
- 37:35Speaker 1: with the young ones because they just young and you
- 37:39Speaker 1: know the way things are going. But um, they the
- 37:42Speaker 1: older ones seemed easier to get saying. Even if you
- 37:44Speaker 1: listen to lyrics though, like Kendrick listen to his song Feeling,
- 37:48Speaker 1: you know, you listen to Eye, he talks about stuff
- 37:51Speaker 1: like that. He talks about you know, um, his suicide
- 37:54Speaker 1: and the depression and all other types of things. So
- 37:56Speaker 1: it's more so that instead of just riding the beat
- 37:59Speaker 1: and just you know, just vibe into, are actually listening
- 38:01Speaker 1: to what they're actually saying because they're telling you something.
- 38:03Speaker 1: What about Joe Budden? Yeah, I feel like we all
- 38:09Speaker 1: can benefit from counseling. Yeah that whether whether we feel
- 38:12Speaker 1: like we're going through it or not. Like it's real, right,
- 38:15Speaker 1: And this is not a plug to my industry. It's
- 38:18Speaker 1: just to say that, you know, we do it anyway, right,
- 38:22Speaker 1: We do it anyway. We talk to people, we seek advice,
- 38:26Speaker 1: you know, we seek comfort. We do it anyway, So
- 38:29Speaker 1: why not talk to a professional about it, you know,
- 38:32Speaker 1: potentially to get you know better at it, to better
- 38:35Speaker 1: train yourself to engage in certain ways to be you know,
- 38:40Speaker 1: mentally tough one or mentally strong. You have to exercise
- 38:43Speaker 1: those things, engage in preventative maintenance to be able to
- 38:47Speaker 1: address the world because there's a lot coming at you.
- 38:50Speaker 1: Or do you think about when people because I always
- 38:52Speaker 1: think this is a bad idea. I just want to
- 38:53Speaker 1: see what you think when people do go on social
- 38:55Speaker 1: media and say I'm going through so much right now, this, this,
- 38:59Speaker 1: and that, I just want to kill myself on social media.
- 39:04Speaker 1: Don't you think that's a I mean, I think it's
- 39:06Speaker 1: a bad idea. I just want to get your take.
- 39:07Speaker 1: Do to people. People are living there real lives through
- 39:13Speaker 1: these outlets, right, not real life they live. They put
- 39:17Speaker 1: certain perceptions on social media others others take it all
- 39:23Speaker 1: the way there, like I want to let you totally
- 39:25Speaker 1: into what I have going on, right, And that can
- 39:29Speaker 1: be good and it also can be dangerous, right because
- 39:31Speaker 1: you open yourself up to opinions, right, and sometimes you
- 39:36Speaker 1: open yourself up to opinions of people who aren't qualified
- 39:39Speaker 1: to give you an opinion or what you should do next,
- 39:42Speaker 1: and not everything that you see or here, it's gonna,
- 39:46Speaker 1: you know, gonna be something that's gonna stroke your ego.
- 39:49Speaker 1: That's the worst. If it's a crime for help. Before
- 39:51Speaker 1: you even get that help, people don't attach you, so
- 39:53Speaker 1: you feel worse. Somebody might say he's whacked. She's whacked.
- 39:56Speaker 1: She need to kill herself today, right, and they're like, wow,
- 40:00Speaker 1: I really wasn't doing that. Just this went way left. Well,

- 41:03Speaker 1: Really thank y'all for coming man Rashawn Miller's The Breakfast Club,
- 41:08Speaker 1: Good morning, The Breakfast Club, Charlomagne and God Angelie. Envia
- 41:15Speaker 1: is actually on vacation grade. It's just here. He was
- 41:17Speaker 1: just here a great discussion about mental health this morning.
- 41:20Speaker 1: We're getting a lot of tweets, a lot of emails,
- 41:21Speaker 1: a lot of text good luck. Pt hit me on
- 41:24Speaker 1: Instagram and says great interview about mental health. Really needed
- 41:26Speaker 1: to hear something like that. Had a friend who really
- 41:28Speaker 1: went crazy, flipped out saying his homeboys ran a train
- 41:31Speaker 1: on train on his girl. He went to the mental
- 41:33Speaker 1: hospital and some of my friends thought it was funny.
- 41:35Speaker 1: So a lot in that tweet. Okay, first and foremost,
- 41:38Speaker 1: I need to know if people actually ran a train
- 41:41Speaker 1: on the girl before I chopped that one up to
- 41:43Speaker 1: mental health. I need to know these things. Now. We
- 41:45Speaker 1: got rumor report coming up here. Yes, we are going
- 41:47Speaker 1: to talk about whether or not we should allow white
- 41:50Speaker 1: people to use the N word. Come on, I'm still
- 41:52Speaker 1: having a discussion. Oh gosh, reports Angel into the Gut
- 42:01Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. But if you watch the show Dear
- 42:05Speaker 1: White Amazing, Drop one of clues Bomb who did white
- 42:07Speaker 1: people damage Amazing show Amazing, then you would like This
- 42:12Speaker 1: interview was the Huffington Post. Justin Simeon, who is the
- 42:15Speaker 1: creator of the show, and Logan Browning, she's the star
- 42:17Speaker 1: of the show, have a discussion about several different things,
- 42:21Speaker 1: including the use of the N word. Here's what they
- 42:23Speaker 1: had to say. Is it not a double standard that
- 42:26Speaker 1: black folks can say the N word and it's in
- 42:29Speaker 1: like black music? How many things do white people have?
- 42:32Speaker 1: There's this one word that black people took and use
- 42:37Speaker 1: as a form of endearment and it's ours. Let us
- 42:40Speaker 1: have this one word so much hatred behind it when
- 42:43Speaker 1: it comes from the mouths of others. And this is
- 42:46Speaker 1: something that we've turned into a very special casual term
- 42:50Speaker 1: not to be used by everyone. We've made medicine out
- 42:52Speaker 1: of our poison. So what you're saying is this is
- 42:55Speaker 1: not a double standard, not a double standard, not at all.
- 42:58Speaker 1: I mean, truth to the matter. If the word is
- 42:59Speaker 1: still I mean, I'm inscribing not to use it for
- 43:02Speaker 1: the past few years, but I can't help it sometime.
- 43:04Speaker 1: But I mean, the word is never really going to
- 43:06Speaker 1: truly be a term of endement. Right, It's just not okay.
- 43:10Speaker 1: And here's what they have to say about racism and
- 43:13Speaker 1: whether or not black people can be racist. Black people
- 43:17Speaker 1: can't be racist. Black people can be prejudiced, they can
- 43:21Speaker 1: be biased, but they can't be racist. And why is that? Well,
- 43:24Speaker 1: what is racism. Racism is the oppression of a marginalized
- 43:29Speaker 1: group in a society that's based on white supremacy. But
- 43:33Speaker 1: the thing is racism, like you said, it's systemic, it's
- 43:35Speaker 1: baked into our society. Yeah, you're only an oppressed I'm sorry.
- 43:39Speaker 1: When it comes to racism, there really is no double standard.
- 43:42Speaker 1: There is no double standard. I agree with that because
- 43:44Speaker 1: the prejudice, in the bias that black people would show
- 43:47Speaker 1: towards white people is usually a reaction to the racism
- 43:50Speaker 1: that has oppression. Yes, all right, Now O. J. Simpson
- 43:54Speaker 1: gets a shot at parole in July. I don't think
- 43:57Speaker 1: that's a good idea. I think they should keep O
- 44:00Speaker 1: where he's at. I don't see stopper. He spent close
- 44:03Speaker 1: to nine years at this prison in Nevada, and that's
- 44:05Speaker 1: for his arm. The robbery of two memorabilia dealers in
- 44:08Speaker 1: a hotel in Vegas. Now, if he does get parole,
- 44:11Speaker 1: he would be released in October. I don't think he
- 44:13Speaker 1: should get another chance. If he doesn't, then he'll remain
- 44:17Speaker 1: locked up until two thou twenty two. How many more
- 44:19Speaker 1: chances are they gonna give old j Simpson? Like? I mean,
- 44:22Speaker 1: he's got away with killing a white woman and a
- 44:24Speaker 1: white man in America as a black man, and then
- 44:26Speaker 1: he messed it up later and now he's serve in
- 44:28Speaker 1: prison time. Y'all gonna let him out again? Y'all think
- 44:30Speaker 1: just because he's old, he can't still make more mistakes. Right, Well, listen,
- 44:35Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna end up happening. But according
- 44:38Speaker 1: to Fred Goldman, Fred Goldman, who's the dad of the
- 44:42Speaker 1: murder victim, also said he'll continue to pursue Simpson if
- 44:46Speaker 1: he gets out of jail. He said, well, always, we're
- 44:48Speaker 1: always on the lookout for ways to nail him. That's
- 44:50Speaker 1: an ugo. They're gonna take him out themselves, that's what's
- 44:54Speaker 1: gonna happen. Let them get with him fifty feet the
- 44:56Speaker 1: juice and watch what happens, all right, Katy Perry is
- 44:58Speaker 1: getting twenty five million dollar is for American Idol, and
- 45:01Speaker 1: that is for her to be a judge, not Sources
- 45:03Speaker 1: are saying that ABC was desperate to sign a name
- 45:06Speaker 1: before the up Friends happened last week. That's when they
- 45:08Speaker 1: present all their new shows, and they said Katy Perry
- 45:10Speaker 1: basically had all the leverage. If they ended up announcing
- 45:13Speaker 1: the show without a judge, that would have been it
- 45:14Speaker 1: for them. So therefore they had to give her a
- 45:17Speaker 1: nice twenty five million. Y'all, y'all know I love Katy Perry.
- 45:20Speaker 1: Would have seen her dance on stage with me, She's
- 45:22Speaker 1: not she can't judge nobody, not. The way she danced
- 45:25Speaker 1: I saw her dancing with Amigos too, was a little shaky.
- 45:28Speaker 1: I didn't know white people still danced like that. I
- 45:30Speaker 1: haven't seen a white person danced that white in a
- 45:32Speaker 1: long time. Like white people would have seemed to have
- 45:34Speaker 1: way more rhythm over the years than what Katy Perry
- 45:37Speaker 1: just played on stage with Mega. Well, that's a lot
- 45:38Speaker 1: of money. Ryan Seacrest was making fifteen million a season
- 45:41Speaker 1: at his highest point, and Jay Low was also making
- 45:44Speaker 1: fifteen million a season, So twenty five million, sh all right,
- 45:48Speaker 1: I'm angela yee, and that is your rumor report. Yes,
- 45:55Speaker 1: it's trying for donkey of the jay being Donkey of
- 46:01Speaker 1: the day a little bit of a mix, but like
- 46:03Speaker 1: a dope the other day. Now, I've been called a
- 46:11Speaker 1: lot in my twenty three years. That donkey of the
- 46:13Speaker 1: day is a new wife. Now, first off, before we
- 46:15Speaker 1: get into today's donkey of today, let me make great
- 46:18Speaker 1: on a promise. Now, yesterday I gave Samuel Berkelewitch some
- 46:22Speaker 1: of the sweet sounds in the Hamletones because Samuel is
- 46:24Speaker 1: the landlord who owns the building in Brooklyn that has
- 46:27Speaker 1: the what's the word the biggie mural, the biggie mural
- 46:30Speaker 1: on it, and Samuel Berkelewitch was going to remove it
- 46:33Speaker 1: unless he got twelve fifty a month. And yesterday he
- 46:35Speaker 1: had a change of heart, Yes he did, after an
- 46:37Speaker 1: outburst of anger from hip hop heads and best Style Residential. Okay,
- 46:40Speaker 1: some cultural translator got through to him clearly because he
- 46:44Speaker 1: said he didn't fully understand what the rapper biggie smalls
- 46:48Speaker 1: meant to the neighborhood. But Samuel, if you don't know,
- 46:51Speaker 1: now you know, Okay, we the coach. You're glad you
- 46:53Speaker 1: made the right decision and you're a Donkey of the day.
- 46:55Speaker 1: Record is now clean. Okay, now Donkey of the day
- 46:59Speaker 1: for two they made. Twenty third goes to David Leavite.
- 47:02Speaker 1: His Twitter is at David Underscore Levite d A v
- 47:06Speaker 1: I D Underscore l E A D I T T
- 47:09Speaker 1: all right. His Twitter bio says he has a freelance
- 47:12Speaker 1: writer who writes for CBS, AXSS, Yahoo and the Examina.
- 47:16Speaker 1: But none of that is true. Well I can't say
- 47:18Speaker 1: none of it, but CBS and Axcess definitely the nown
- 47:21Speaker 1: Timias today after David decided to try to make light
- 47:24Speaker 1: of the massacre in Manchester. Okay, if you haven't heard,
- 47:27Speaker 1: at least nineteen to twenty two people were killed in
- 47:30Speaker 1: the UK last night at an Ariana Grande concert. Now.
- 47:33Speaker 1: I hate when tragic situations like this are attached to
- 47:36Speaker 1: any kind of celebrity because truth to the matter is,
- 47:38Speaker 1: people are jealous and envious of celebrities, and whenever they
- 47:41Speaker 1: hear about something bad happening to a celebrity, or something
- 47:45Speaker 1: bad happening with the celebrity's name attached to it, they
- 47:48Speaker 1: have no sympathy for it. And David Levite is absolutely
- 47:51Speaker 1: one of those idiots. Okay, he tweeted out multiple confirmed
- 47:54Speaker 1: fatalities at Manchester Arena. The last time I listened to
- 47:57Speaker 1: Ariana Grande, I almost died too. Wow, what a time
- 48:02Speaker 1: to make a joke. Now that tweet has been replied
- 48:04Speaker 1: to twenty four thousand times, with one hundred percent of
- 48:06Speaker 1: those replies telling David how whack he is. Okay, let's
- 48:09Speaker 1: read a few of them. Why don't we? Lee McKinzie
- 48:12Speaker 1: TV told David a concert pack with kids who would
- 48:14Speaker 1: have been excited for this night out, some won't return.
- 48:18Speaker 1: You think this is appropriate for a joke? Then she
- 48:20Speaker 1: called him a penis not really a penis, but a
- 48:23Speaker 1: something a richard? Yes? Uh. Samar Khan told David Levite
- 48:27Speaker 1: you violelmbo. So kids have just died. Have some respect? Now?
- 48:32Speaker 1: Did David leave it, you know, reneg or take back
- 48:37Speaker 1: those those tweets are apologized? No, he doubled down on
- 48:40Speaker 1: the bs. He said, Honestly, for over a year, I
- 48:43Speaker 1: thought an Ariana Grande was something you ordered that Starbucks. See.
- 48:46Speaker 1: This is why I hate when celebrity is attached to
- 48:49Speaker 1: a tragic issue, or any serious issue for that matter,
- 48:52Speaker 1: because whatn't the hell does Arion a Grande they have
- 48:54Speaker 1: to do with anything, David Levite, nineteen to twenty two
- 48:56Speaker 1: people were killed, over fifty injured, and all you focused
- 48:59Speaker 1: on is Arion a Grande. Ariana Grande has absolutely nothing
- 49:02Speaker 1: to do with this situation other than it was her concert.
- 49:05Speaker 1: For whatever reason, the celebrity attached to it makes people
- 49:07Speaker 1: insensitive to the actual issue. Your hate of a celebrity
- 49:11Speaker 1: should not outweigh the love you have for innocent people
- 49:14Speaker 1: and the innocent lives lost. Okay, now, David Levite eventually
- 49:17Speaker 1: tapped out he posted too soon, and then tweeted out
- 49:20Speaker 1: sorry for offending. Didn't realize the magnitude of the tragedy. Really, wow,
- 49:25Speaker 1: you didn't realize twenty two people getting killed was a tragedy.
- 49:29Speaker 1: And then he said I'll always make stupid jokes about
- 49:31Speaker 1: whatever was trending. Condolences to the families now too late.
- 49:35Speaker 1: You can tell this is one of those fake I'm
- 49:37Speaker 1: under attack and I might be messing up my money
- 49:40Speaker 1: apologies simply because he didn't even delete the original tweets
- 49:43Speaker 1: that made everybody matt Now another reason we shouldn't accept
- 49:46Speaker 1: David's apologies, because this is what he does. Last year,
- 49:49Speaker 1: he tweeted out Trump died sleeping hashtag calmed me down
- 49:53Speaker 1: in three words. Now, some of y'all wish that tweet
- 49:55Speaker 1: was true, But at the time when he did this
- 49:58Speaker 1: last year, he got to now by CBS Boston because
- 50:02Speaker 1: that's who he claimed to work for at the time,
- 50:03Speaker 1: And after that Trump tweet, they said they would not
- 50:05Speaker 1: affiliate it with that guy in any way, shape or form.
- 50:08Speaker 1: But the moral of the story is, this is what
- 50:09Speaker 1: he does. Okay, when someone shows you who they are,
- 50:12Speaker 1: believe them. So I need everyone to remember his name,
- 50:15Speaker 1: David Levite. Okay, d A v I D l e
- 50:18Speaker 1: a v i t T. His Twitter is David Underscore
- 50:21Speaker 1: l e a v I t T. Go to his
- 50:23Speaker 1: page right now. Just leave a bunch of you know,
- 50:25Speaker 1: donkey emojis under his Twitter. Okay, he's a freelance writer
- 50:28Speaker 1: who claims to work for a bunch of companies that
- 50:30Speaker 1: he doesn't actually work for, and I personally want to
- 50:33Speaker 1: make sure he doesn't get a chance to ever work again. Period.
- 50:36Speaker 1: He's done. Okay, David Levite, put his picture up in
- 50:39Speaker 1: your buildings with the caption don't hire this man. Remember
- 50:42Speaker 1: his name David Levite. He should never be allowed to
- 50:45Speaker 1: really really work for anybody ever. Again. Please give David
- 50:49Speaker 1: Levite the biggest he Hall Police definitely go have a
- 50:55Speaker 1: petty party in his comments. All right, Charlotmaine, thank you
- 50:58Speaker 1: so much for that Donkey of the Dan. Everybody's DJ
- 51:01Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We all the breakfast club.
- 51:05Speaker 1: We got a special guest in the building, Victor Cruz.
- 51:10Speaker 1: What's going on? Man? I can't believe it's your first
- 51:11Speaker 1: time up here, first time up here. I'm here, I'm
- 51:13Speaker 1: finally here. How do you think the respect is going
- 51:15Speaker 1: to change once you signed with the Patriots? You think
- 51:20Speaker 1: they still respect? I hope so, man, I hope they
- 51:24Speaker 1: know my heart lives. Man. But I gotta go, you know,
- 51:26Speaker 1: I gotta go back to work at some point. Or now,
- 51:28Speaker 1: let's talk about that. You've been with the Giants since
- 51:30Speaker 1: you you started in the NFL. You're from Pattison, New Jersey,
- 51:33Speaker 1: so your hometown favorite exactly you came from. I think
- 51:36Speaker 1: the dirt because nobody expected it, you know. So how
- 51:39Speaker 1: does it feel when the Giants released you because you
- 51:41Speaker 1: gave so much to the giant? Um it hurt, to
- 51:43Speaker 1: be real, you know, I gave so much to them
- 51:45Speaker 1: seven years. I mean, you know, from the great things
- 51:47Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl to the you know, two years
- 51:49Speaker 1: of injuries and climbing back from that and making it
- 51:52Speaker 1: back and being back on the field and things like that.
- 51:54Speaker 1: So it definitely hurt. But you know, like every good group,
- 51:57Speaker 1: like every good you know, recording artists, everything got to
- 52:00Speaker 1: come to an n at some point. Your run got
- 52:02Speaker 1: to stop at some point. So I was just grateful
- 52:04Speaker 1: for them for giving me an opportunity to come back
- 52:06Speaker 1: off these injuries and play again and be the guy
- 52:09Speaker 1: that I once was. And now it's um, you know,
- 52:11Speaker 1: it's on to the next film. Now. Wasn't the Oldell
- 52:13Speaker 1: Beckham situation. It said that you weren't a mentor to him,
- 52:16Speaker 1: and y'all went down to Miami, NA. That was that's
- 52:19Speaker 1: my brother stuff. Yeah, that's my brother, I mean, through
- 52:23Speaker 1: and through. That's that. That's my brother, always will be.
- 52:25Speaker 1: So it wasn't about me being a mentor. We talked
- 52:28Speaker 1: more than anyone on this team, I mean, about life,
- 52:31Speaker 1: about things he's going through, about things I go through.
- 52:33Speaker 1: We we talked about everything. So the Miami thing, it
- 52:35Speaker 1: is what it is. It was seven days before a
- 52:37Speaker 1: playoff game. It had no bearings on what happened in
- 52:40Speaker 1: the game. Um, but it is what it is. I
- 52:42Speaker 1: can't take it back now. People made too much of
- 52:44Speaker 1: a big deal out of that situation, I think so.
- 52:46Speaker 1: I mean the biggest thing was the picture. I mean
- 52:48Speaker 1: if if the photo didn't come out, if you didn't
- 52:50Speaker 1: see the photo, you wouldn't no one would have known
- 52:53Speaker 1: that we were there, and it would have just went,
- 52:55Speaker 1: you know, unscathed. Now everybody had this shirt off, but
- 52:57Speaker 1: you I wouldn't poision was made, you say, I'm gonna
- 53:02Speaker 1: keep my shirts on everybody. I mean, it wasn't even
- 53:05Speaker 1: I wasn't even thinking about it. It was just, you know,
- 53:07Speaker 1: we were on the boat. I just we were moving
- 53:09Speaker 1: and shaking. I didn't think to take my shirt off.
- 53:11Speaker 1: Was there girls on the boat? Because you know, absolutely
- 53:14Speaker 1: absolutely girls. It should have been like a no picture policy. Yeah, yeah,
- 53:22Speaker 1: I mean we should have kind of. I mean, there
- 53:24Speaker 1: was no pictures of Bieber. Bieber was already like, you know,
- 53:27Speaker 1: looking at everybody, like put your cameras down, right, because yeah,
- 53:31Speaker 1: usually it was like it was a big deal, but
- 53:33Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't illegal what y'all did or no,
- 53:36Speaker 1: went against the team rules anything? Not at all. We
- 53:38Speaker 1: didn't break any rules. Now, now you've been practicing, they
- 53:41Speaker 1: saying it and already met with a bunch of team
- 53:43Speaker 1: the Panthers, the Bears, the Jaguars. Is any place that
- 53:47Speaker 1: you even thought maybe the Jets? Maybe? Is there any
- 53:49Speaker 1: place that you necessarily want to go? Or Um? I
- 53:52Speaker 1: mean there's no place I really want to go. I mean,
- 53:56Speaker 1: I played for my dream team for seven years, so
- 53:58Speaker 1: now it's just a matter of finding a good fit.
- 54:00Speaker 1: I just want to go to a team that's a
- 54:02Speaker 1: good fit for me, that's that I can come in
- 54:04Speaker 1: and play and be a factor right away. What do
- 54:06Speaker 1: you think people's hesitations are signing me? Um, I don't know.
- 54:11Speaker 1: It's funny. One of the teams I got some inside
- 54:14Speaker 1: information that was like, is he is he worried about
- 54:16Speaker 1: like selling sneakers now and is he worried about fashion
- 54:19Speaker 1: and all that. I was like, yeah, well but Jesus Chris, No,
- 54:24Speaker 1: I mean I got my air trainer cruise. Oh this
- 54:35Speaker 1: the cruise. Um? Yeah, it's called the air Trainer Cruise. Um,
- 54:37Speaker 1: go to your select sneaker retailers and go pick that
- 54:40Speaker 1: up at some point wherever you're at. What's the problem
- 54:42Speaker 1: with dumb? I mean they think they think that my
- 54:44Speaker 1: priorities aren't football anymore. So they're trying to say that
- 54:47Speaker 1: I'm more focused on fashion and football I mean and
- 54:50Speaker 1: uh and sneakers and outside business than I am, um,
- 54:55Speaker 1: you know, about football. But I tell everybody I'm very
- 54:57Speaker 1: much a football player. Like, yeah, I like to do
- 54:59Speaker 1: all those things outside the field. Yeah, I like to.
- 55:01Speaker 1: You know, I have a show on MTV right now
- 55:02Speaker 1: that's airing um called The Challenge Chance Versus Pros every Tuesday,
- 55:06Speaker 1: nine pm. Like, I like doing all those things off
- 55:08Speaker 1: the field to set myself up long term, right, But
- 55:11Speaker 1: I'm very much a football player right now and that's
- 55:13Speaker 1: my focus for sure. They want you to take a
- 55:14Speaker 1: pain cut the Giants. Yeah, well I took a pick
- 55:17Speaker 1: cut the year before. Coming into last year, I took
- 55:19Speaker 1: a pick cut. So this year it was just like,
- 55:20Speaker 1: we're just cutting you all again. So this year was like, look,
- 55:22Speaker 1: we took a pick cup last year. You know, we
- 55:24Speaker 1: want to move in another direction with the team. That's
- 55:25Speaker 1: the first thing they said to me when I walked in,
- 55:27Speaker 1: and you know, I felt it all year long. You know,
- 55:29Speaker 1: half way through the year you're like, okay, I'm balling.
- 55:30Speaker 1: Then the other half I'm not getting the ball, and
- 55:32Speaker 1: you're just like, well, what's going on. I was like, okay,
- 55:35Speaker 1: I see what's happening. They don't. They don't want me
- 55:36Speaker 1: here anymore because granted, if I was you know, a
- 55:39Speaker 1: lot of people probably don't know this. If I let's
- 55:41Speaker 1: say I played well and I'm a thousand yard receiver
- 55:43Speaker 1: last year, they would have it would have been more
- 55:45Speaker 1: difficult from a fan perspective to cut me, right, you know,
- 55:48Speaker 1: if I'm a thousand yard guards, they're like, why are
- 55:50Speaker 1: you cutting crews? He just had a thousand yards to
- 55:52Speaker 1: have five six touchdowns, But that doesn't make sense. But
- 55:56Speaker 1: if I have five hundred yards and whatever the case,
- 55:58Speaker 1: maybe it's a little easier on the fans. Oh, he
- 56:00Speaker 1: didn't play well, so that's why they cut them. And
- 56:02Speaker 1: if I played well, they were due to you know,
- 56:04Speaker 1: they owe me a ton of money that next year.
- 56:06Speaker 1: So it was like, let's give let's get Cruis off
- 56:08Speaker 1: the books. That would explain why you were open so
- 56:11Speaker 1: much and wasn't getting the ball. I'm glad you said it.
- 56:13Speaker 1: Political like that even more, even more than you think.
- 56:17Speaker 1: I've seen things where I'm letting out all the secrets
- 56:20Speaker 1: right now. I've seen things where guys had um incentives
- 56:23Speaker 1: in their contract to where they had to play sixteen
- 56:25Speaker 1: games in order to get X amount. That sixteenth game
- 56:29Speaker 1: came around, they would sit them. They if they had
- 56:32Speaker 1: a little ailment something that they could play through. They like, look,
- 56:35Speaker 1: we think we shouldn't play this game. Um, you know
- 56:38Speaker 1: you can have to. And he's looking like, well, nah,
- 56:41Speaker 1: if I gotta drag this leg out there for this
- 56:43Speaker 1: sixteen game to get this check, I'm gonna drag this
- 56:45Speaker 1: lag out there. And they're like no, Like you know,
- 56:49Speaker 1: they'll use the training staff to kind of deploy it,
- 56:52Speaker 1: and you know, things like that. We got more with
- 56:54Speaker 1: Victor Cruz. When we come back, he'll tell us where
- 56:56Speaker 1: he might be signing next. Don't move. It's the breakfast Club.
- 56:59Speaker 1: Good morning, Hey, it's the world's most dangerous. Want to
- 57:01Speaker 1: show the breakfast Club. That was the megos bad and bougie,
- 57:03Speaker 1: But like I always tell y'all, if you can't be
- 57:05Speaker 1: bad and bougie, be fine and frugal. That's more sexy.
- 57:08Speaker 1: Now we got Victor Cruz in the building, Angel Lee,
- 57:10Speaker 1: I tell that open letter that Classico Burris wrote in
- 57:13Speaker 1: the Players Tribune. He is offering his assistance to any
- 57:17Speaker 1: of these new up and coming NFL players, all the
- 57:19Speaker 1: rookies that are coming into the league. And he talked
- 57:21Speaker 1: about his own difficulties, basically how they train you. But
- 57:24Speaker 1: he's like, what they really emphasize and stay away from
- 57:26Speaker 1: these women, you know, and don't spend. Yeah, we're a condam,
- 57:30Speaker 1: but he was saying there's a lot of things that
- 57:31Speaker 1: he didn't learn. And he offered them to hit him
- 57:34Speaker 1: up to a lot of young players, hit you up
- 57:35Speaker 1: and any type of mentorship all the time, even current players, teammates,
- 57:41Speaker 1: young teammates. That's the thing I like about this league. Now,
- 57:43Speaker 1: no one has an ego coming into the league. Now
- 57:45Speaker 1: everyone wants information, everyone wants to learn, everyone wants to
- 57:49Speaker 1: especially from a guy like myself who came up as
- 57:51Speaker 1: a free agent. You know, been to the pinnacle and
- 57:53Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl as well as been through the
- 57:56Speaker 1: you know, the trials and tribulations of it too. So
- 57:59Speaker 1: they asked me all the time, and what did it
- 58:00Speaker 1: take to get to where you are? What did it
- 58:02Speaker 1: take to get to where you are and to flourish
- 58:04Speaker 1: and to make it happen. What were you thinking about
- 58:06Speaker 1: when you were injured? You know, like all these different
- 58:09Speaker 1: questions that they have, and I'll tell them. I'll tell
- 58:11Speaker 1: them exactly how I'm feeling and tell them how those
- 58:14Speaker 1: dark days were and how those great days were, so
- 58:16Speaker 1: they can get both sides of the coin and learn
- 58:19Speaker 1: how to navigate this NFL the right way. Even somebody
- 58:22Speaker 1: like Odala don't have an ego because it wasn't that
- 58:24Speaker 1: his thing that they said he had an ego. I
- 58:27Speaker 1: didn't see one, at least not with me. You know,
- 58:29Speaker 1: we talked literally, and he would always vet to me
- 58:31Speaker 1: about you know, things that people say about him or
- 58:34Speaker 1: things that people you know think about him, you know,
- 58:36Speaker 1: whether it be right wrong or in different. And I
- 58:39Speaker 1: tell him, look like you, if you want to change
- 58:41Speaker 1: people's perceptions, you have to go out of your way
- 58:43Speaker 1: now because people have already formulated whatever they formulated. So
- 58:47Speaker 1: now you have to go out of your way to
- 58:49Speaker 1: let them know that you're not this way. You're not
- 58:51Speaker 1: you know, an egotistical football player that you're not. You know,
- 58:55Speaker 1: you have to go out of your way to do
- 58:56Speaker 1: so because once they formulate that in their brains, that's
- 58:59Speaker 1: what they're gonna roll with. It's probably gotta be difficult
- 59:01Speaker 1: for young guys like him though, because like even on
- 59:04Speaker 1: the field they give him problems, but then off the field,
- 59:06Speaker 1: it's like, oh is he gay? Is he's gray? Like
- 59:09Speaker 1: it's double with him, like it's it's it's something that
- 59:11Speaker 1: he's you know. And I give him a lot of
- 59:13Speaker 1: credit because he's he could have went off the deep
- 59:15Speaker 1: end a long time ago and just says screw this,
- 59:18Speaker 1: cursed everybody out and went and just went nuts. But
- 59:21Speaker 1: he's kind of keeping a cool head about it and
- 59:22Speaker 1: keeping resolved and just ignoring it for the most part,
- 59:25Speaker 1: and and just going about his business and living life
- 59:27Speaker 1: as a young twenty four twenty five year old kids
- 59:30Speaker 1: and in his prime, um, and just living his life.
- 59:33Speaker 1: How do you avoid not getting robbed going back to
- 59:35Speaker 1: Pattison because you know, you see, good man, my street
- 59:41Speaker 1: credit is so good back home, Um, you know, the
- 59:44Speaker 1: rapper life with that's a whole different that's a whole
- 59:47Speaker 1: different lifestyle. But when I come home, it's always love.
- 59:50Speaker 1: It's always um, you know, just people greeting me and
- 59:53Speaker 1: they always excited to see me people. It's funny. People
- 59:55Speaker 1: always ask me like, yo, you know when you get
- 59:58Speaker 1: back when I'm in Patterson and people, I'm like, yo,
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: if he like I live here, like I've played here
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: seven years? Like what do you think I live in
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: Cali and just come here to play Like I'm from here.
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: I live here, this is home. It'd be weird to
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: move some when you have to move somewhere. Yeah, And
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: I'm you know, if you know fortune, I'm gonna have
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: to move somewhere else when I, you know, get picked
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: up by another team guy Willing, and I go live
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: in another city and adapt to that city and things
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: like that, So we'll see. It'd definitely be a learning
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: curve and something different from me. But it's part of
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: the game and it's part of the NFL. Now, how
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: did I how did all your side chicks take it? When, um,
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: when your fiance text all of them here and told
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: him the jig was up? Um? Goodn'ts Out of respect
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: of everybody in that situation, I'm gonna move on. I mean,
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: it wasn't the easiest situation to go through. Charlemagne. I'm
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: not gonna lie to you, um, but you know we
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: moved on. We did any of the side chicks stay
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: down like you know what? I got you redallss here
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: for you. You know how that go. Obviously a few
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: of them hit me back, but I had to. You know,
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: they all got curved after that. I had the curve ball.
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: Now laval ball, what do you think about laval ball?
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: In my opinion, solely my opinion, I believe he's doing
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: more damn I managed and good to his children. Why
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: do y'all say that? Though? Perfect example is when you
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: have three of the largest sneaker companies in the world
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: not even entertain the thought of having your child on
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: their roster simply because they don't want to put up
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: with you. That's that's doing. You're misleading a little bit.
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: They didn't entertain the thought of partnering with him. Go
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: to la Ball out. They're gonna be begging him to
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: sign for an endorsement deal with laval wants a partnership.
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: Why do you want to? Why do you? Why do
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: you gotta have your hand and everything? Let your kid
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: be your kids. I don't want if Kennedy becomes an
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: amazing golf tennis star, I ain't gonna be like all right, Nike.
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: It's a package deal. It's both of us, like, either
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: you gotta pay us or we don't. Nah, Kennedy Gold,
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: go do your thing, Go sign your deal. I'm gonna
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: be here. I'm gonna help you in any way possible,
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: But that's this is your life. I'm gonna help you
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: make the perfect, the right decisions. But at the end
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: of the day, it's your life that you have to
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: live and you have to make these decisions on your own. Yeah,
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: I guess it'd be interesting to hear what the kids
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: want to do. Yeah, but we haven't heard lines or
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: say anything. But don't you think it far creating wealth
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: for black and brown people? The idea of partnering with
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: these companies that supposed to just signing endorsement deals. I mean,
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: because if a company can pay you one hundred million,
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: imagine the partnering. And you want to partner in what way?
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: What do you want to do? LaVar? How do you
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: want to partner with Nike? Want? He wants to have
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: equity and is shoe? Why not? But why not give
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: your son that equity? That's your money too, give your son.
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: Lonzo is part of the Big Baller brand, so he's CEO.
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: Of course, of course he is. And and but my
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: thing is, let let your kids live, let your kids
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: be your kids, and let them do what they want to.
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: Not that he's not that he's declining them from doing
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: what they want to do, but let them have their
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: own platform. Give Linzo his own platform to be whatever.
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: What if Linzo wanted to sign with Nike? What if?
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: What if that was his dream? Now for whatever reason,
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: because you want to partner that dream isn't his dream anymore.
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: And now he's big ball of brand, and I know
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: he loves it, and I've seen the you know, the
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: the commercial spot for the shoe, and it looks great.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: But when you have these big brands that don't want
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: to partner with you and don't want to touch you
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: because your dad is is partnering and putting himself into
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: the endorsement deal with you, I think it's doing more
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: more hurt than good. It's then, and turn big ball
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: of brands sells millions of shoes and all as well.
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: And then this whole conversation isn't it's just a gamble.
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: Anybody that you messed would left you after the giants
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: dropped you. Now I was talking about I don't know,
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: I don't know you work specific, but crazy is it?
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: Before he came in here, he was like, I don't
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: really want to talk about any of that. I didn't
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: have Charletmage didn't get that text. I wasn't to me,
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: he didn't get the text. Um, No, man, everybody stayed true.
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: Everybody stayed true. I think I think even right now, um,
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: I think people are just waiting for my next to
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: kind of you know, circle the wagons back around. But
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: you know, no endorsement deal dropped me. No, I mean,
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: it's a blessing to be honest, because even I mean,
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: if anybody remembers my sneakers dropped, I wasn't even playing
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: like I was. I was injured at the time, and
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: they sold out and did great and everybody loved them.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: And you know, that's a blessing to not even be playing,
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: to not even be I guess relevant at the moment
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: from what you from what your profession is, and to
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: still have your sneakers do well and still have the
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: things you do off the field do well. I mean,
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: I'm I'm extremely blessed. Well, VI, we appreciate you for

- 1:04:57Speaker 1: there seeing what coach Cowflin has to say in this.
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: And I went to Cargo, also went to Carolina. Um,
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: like Carolina, Carolina is a good fit. It would be
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: a good fit. But they went and drafted that kid
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: from from Stanford. So they got a couple of guys
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: that kind of fit my role over there now. So
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: but we'll see, man, I think I think the decisions
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: coming up pretty soon here. We're already and you know,
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: we're talking to a couple of teams, Baltimores in the
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: mix as well. Um, so we'll see how it goes.
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: And bold Yeah, me and Bolden, I mean me and
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: Bolden are kind of the top free agent. Uh, you know,
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: veteran receivers out there for teams to kind of pick
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: up and things like that. So we'll see how it goes.
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: But you know, I think we're getting close this week,
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: this week, next week, after Memorial Day and all that
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: good stuff. I think that's when you'll definitely be on
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: somebody's team. Though God Willing's boat. This Memorial negative. I
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: ain't on nobody's over especially without that red skuller. I'm
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: taking the rest. Scully me back, Soldier boy meek Mill
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: was over man. Did you burn it for real? Yeah?
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: I ain't burn it, but I gave it away like
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: a little rituals like you put in a fire and
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: do a little good. Victor Cruz is the Breakfast Club
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: the morning. This is the Rule Report with Angel. So
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: here's the update on what happened at the Ariana Grande
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: concert in Manchester. Now, we already told you earlier. At
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: least twenty two people have been killed and sixty or
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: more people have been injured in that attack. Right now,
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: ISIS is claiming responsibility, but they have no evidence. They
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: posted on their channel saying that a soldier of the
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: Caliphate was able to plant explosive devices at the Manchester arena.
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: Now they did not mention the name, they did not
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: include a photo, but we did tell you that one
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: man was killed at the scene that had the explosives.
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: And now they have arrested a second suspect. We don't
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: have any more information, but they are investigating what his
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: connection is to the bomber. We don't know what that
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: is at this point. What did they get for taking
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: credit for that? Isis just because they hate us and
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: they want to make it seem like they have the power,
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: and they have manpower all over the place. You know
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: it else is so bad about that? If ISIS has
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: other other enemies, which I'm sure that they do, they
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: could do things and didn't say it TIS just so
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: people go at ISIS okay, right. Well, ISIS does always
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: claim a lot of responsibility for terrorist attacks, and they
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: do most of them. Yeah, and they do do most
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: of them, but there's no evidence yet they've just taking
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: responsibility for this, so really sad situation. A lot of
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: the young kids had went out to go see ariana
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: Grande performer, and it was extreme mayhem. Here's what happened
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: when the explosion went down, all all right, A lot
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: of those kids were in without their parents. Their parents
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: were picking them up meeting them, so it was even
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: worse just because of that. Now, Brandy some people. Will
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: you see that she has a new boyfriend's name is
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: Sir the Baptist, But she still doesn't. Yeah, she still
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be over her ex, Ryan Press. Here
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: is what she said while performing on stage. I thought
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: she had a new boyfriend. She's saying that he lied
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: to her, cheating her, and then rebounded with a broke bitch.
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: And I guess she's referring to Selida Ebanks. Now, Brandy,
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: you were selling flat tummy t last year on Adopt.
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: Get ahead of yourself. I'm just saying I ain't. I
