• 1:42
  Speaker 1: favorite authors on this morning. Um. I've read everything that

  Speaker 1: he's put out, you know, the Artist Eduction, the thirty
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: three Strategies Award, the Law of Human Nature, and Mastery,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the fiftieth for Law, and of course the forty eight
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Laws of Power, just to name a few. Mister Robert

• 2:03
  Speaker 1: don't even know read almost all of those. But Mastery.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I actually really enjoy Mastery, and I quote that book
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: all the time, just because I feel like sometimes people

• 2:15
  Speaker 1: if you want to be amazing at something, you do
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: have to master it. Yeah. I've always wondered if Outliers
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: influenced The Mastery. Michael Gladwell's outlines influenced the mastery because
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: it's the whole, you know, the outlines of the ten
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: thousand and hour theory. Mastery is more like, you know,
• 2:31

• 5:47
  Speaker 1: owned by Kroger's Supermarket, and a suspect is in custody,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: according to Boulder Police Chief Maris Harold. Authorities did not

  Speaker 1: share any information on his identity or the type of weapon,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: but they did say one authority told CNN that it
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: was aar fifteen. They said they are working around the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: clock to get all this accomplished. And one police officer
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: was slain, fifty one year old Eric Talley. He was
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: one of the first officers to respond to the scene.

  Speaker 1: He had joined the Boulder Police Force back in two ten.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: They did not disclose the identity of any of the

  Speaker 1: other victims. Now. One person did speak to Aaron Burnett
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: on CNN, Ryan Borowski. He said he was shopping at
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the store when he heard the first shots. Listen to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Ryan's account, when we ran out the back door We
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: were all single file, and I had my hand on
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: one person's back and another person had their hand on
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: my back. We weren't tripping on each other, and nobody
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: fell down. When we got to the back of the house.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: There were some people who started to run into like
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: a pantry or some sort of storage area and a
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: dead end, and employees made sure to show them the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: way out. I just threw my groceries on a shelf

  Speaker 1: I'm extremely blessed, got a good job, good wife, and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: good family, all that good stuff. But it was just
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: brought to my attention. The post Office has just approved
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: fifteen weeks of one hundred percent pay for people to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: take off. But they will not reward the people who
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: come to work. I haven't taken off the day since
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: all this kicked off. Not wow, damn. But they will
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: not reward the people who come to work every day
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: like we supposed to. But they want to keep giving
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: people excuses and reason to take off. Now. Granted, some
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: people need it, but everybody don't. Yeah. I heard a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: lot of businesses are if you have to go take
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a COVID test, they're giving you like a half a
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: day to go get tested. I heard a lot of
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: people are really taking advantage of that. Not our job.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: They did bring the test to you. They they ain't
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: give you nothing off. And another thing. Man. So when
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: it was the election time, we had everybody talking about
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the post office, Rashida to Lead, Gary Peters, Brenda Lords.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: We don't hear nothing no more. Now that they got
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: their little seats and they re elected, we don't hear
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: nothing no more about the post office. Man. Right, we're ridiculous.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: You're right about that. I will say this though, I
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: feel like you should take some time off and over
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: time is ridiculous. Pay okay, but don't worry about anybody.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Keep getting that, man. But you still gotta have self care,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: oh brother. Self care is very important for your mental
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and emotional health. Man. You're absolutely right, no question about it.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: But I sleep good knowing that I'm putting dollars in
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the bank. But still we should be rewarded for coming
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to work. Man. This is the breakfast club. This is
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: man than from you on the breakfast club, but you

  Speaker 1: Charlotte Magne in pretty thing or your thing? Hey? Listening
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: little mama. Little Mama is making the case that I
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: think should be talked about in the public sector about
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: heterosexual rights movement. Although I don't support her fully in part,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: she does talk about some things that I think people
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: should be looking as seriously, such as the actual value
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of evidence and proof, and you know that. Whereas I
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: don't think it's technically wrong or morally wrong for somebody
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: to mask their gender, I do think and I know
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: that it is completely wrong to be forced to accept
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: somebody's haven't changed their gender when humans cellular biology says
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: that you have not and cannot accomplish that. I'm not
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: a Christian. I know the pursuit of Christianity very well.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think somebody should be pressured into trying to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: marry two men or two women if you're a Christian
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: minister and have to face a whole bunch of controversy
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: because it's so far left of what you're doctrine teachers,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and in the taxpayer funding neighbor public schools where they
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: teaching history, writing, mathematics, arithmetic, please teach civics and biology
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and chemistry. They don't necessarily need to have to be
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: teaching m about homosexual relationships any more than you need
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: to be teaching about head king, King, King King. I'm
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you something. I have no idea what you're
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: talking about. Oh, Mama, are you aware heterosexual rights movement?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Heterosexual rights movement. Yeah, spend some time with it. Maybe

• 15:33
  Speaker 1: or something. Maybe you could get wrong and me you
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: kind of be able to follow better what I'm saying. Yeah,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I think she was saying. I think she was saying something.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Part of it was she didn't she didn't want to
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: see uh, any type of relationship or television, not heterosexual
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: relationships all the time. Yeah, I think she was just
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: saying any of it. Yeah, she says she didn't want
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: to see any of it because it doesn't allow kids
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: to make up their own mind, because they can be
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, impressionable. I said, I'm not with her
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: in total, but she is onto something to such a
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: degree that they're actually, why are we talking about this
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: so long? Because it becomes the part of the social
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: conversation with you actually talk about on your broadcast. But
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I gotta know what I'm talking about. I don't have
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: no idea what you're talking about. We'll pick it up,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: pick it up. Since the time with it, wrestle with it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: You work for drama show because dramas hangs up on
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: anybody else him and envy. But today, for whatever reason,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: they just He's like, what do we talk all of that?
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: We act like we got so much time here on
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: this show, like that's what we jove to talk about
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: for two to three minutes. The Breakfast Club Morning, everybody
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: is DJ M V Angela Ye, Charlomagne, the guy. We
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors to
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: talk NBA Young Boy, It's about time report with Angela
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Yee on the Breakfast Club. NBA Young Boy is an
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: FBI custody lap. The cops did pull him over and
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: they tracked him down when he tried to flee the scene.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: According to TMZ, they said that he has an outstanding
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: federal warrant and that set off a pursuit, and once
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the car stopped, they said NBA Young Boy then ran
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: on foot, and the cops set up a perimeter. They
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: bought in a canine to helped find him, and the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: police dog did not bite him, but they did sniff
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: him out and find him. All right. For one am
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: shocked by these developments. There's nothing about NBA Young Boy
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: that makes me believe he would be a prime candidate
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: for jail. Why would the police ever be looking for him?
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: He seemed so pleasant? Yeah, but what did he do
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: with where he had a warrant? Do we know what
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the warrant was? The outstanding federal warrant? Listen, I don't know,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: but all I know is they found a firearm in
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the vehicle. They said, they're unclear if that belongs to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: him as of now. I know before he had gotten
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: stopped and they found some guns, but he said none
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: of them were his. So I want to know where
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: he was running. You are NBA young Boy, You do
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: know that, right? I think that's the first reaction is
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: just a run, you know. I mean, I'm surboused to
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: dog didn't bite him. My first reaction wouldn't be the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: one if I was a rapper making millions of dollars. Okay, No,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: if he had a warrant, you might. I don't know
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: if he know, if he had award or that. I
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: think I thought he was running because there was guns
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: in the car. But my point with that is somebody
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: else you're to be claiming those guns because I am
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: NBA young boy. Yeah, I mean sometimes you just want
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to I don't know. I guess probably for a lot
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: of people, your first reaction is to get out of there. No, no,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: m Yeah. The federal investigation is after he got arrested
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: for drug and firearm charges after police responded to reports
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: of a large group of people brandishing weapons while filming
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: a music video. I am shocked, and he said none
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: of them belonged to him. All right. Now, Twitter CEO
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Jack Dorsey has sold the NFT of his first tweet
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: for two point nine million dollars. Remember we were talking
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: about these NFTs and he announced the digital auction for
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: the post. It was the first ever tweet that was
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: sent out fifteen years ago. And yes, two point nine
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: million dollars is how much that went for. Yeah, I
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: totally understand the NFTs now, Jim Jones put us on.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: He was on the Breakfast Club last week, and you know,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I've had other people on my team talk to me
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: about it, so I totally understand what it is. I
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: just don't understand why people would pay that much, right,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: that much money, that kind of stuff. But he shut up.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Let me shut up, right, because I actually a digital
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: footprint out there. I'm gonna find me something to sell.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I learned it about a while ago because one of
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: my friends who's an artist, was selling some of his
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: artwork and he was explaining to me how it worked,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and he was like, listen, you could be doing this.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: You could be doing pieces of interviews and selling those
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: music videos whatever. People can do that all right, And
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: assigned jay Z trading cards so for a record breaking price,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and that was one hundred and five thousand, seven hundred
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and eighty dollars. It's a one of one card. Or
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Initially it was lingering around two thousand dollars on the
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: online auction site. Then one buyer started heating it up
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: and it ended up going for one hundred and five
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars. They said, that's an all time record for
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: any non sports TCG card. Question, that's BEAUTIFU by the way,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: But does Jack's tweet appreciate with value? Will it be
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: worth more in the future. We don't know what's going
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: to happen with these NFTs, But what I do know
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: is that with NFTs, if somebody else who ever bought it,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: sells it, the original person still gets a piece of that.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: So as much as people trade it and sell it,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: it's still the original owner will still get a percentage.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: So the more people that sell it and traded and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: all of that, you get a little more money because
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: as an owner, because I can understand why that tweet
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: would have value. Is that the first tweet ever? Because
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: that is, Yeah, but it's a first tweet ever, right,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: a copy of the tweet? Right, Yeah, it's a digital
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: it's a digital. Yeah, it's digital. It's all digital. All
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: these things NFTs are digital copies. Nick said, it's not,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: but it's the first tweet ever, right, like ever because
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Jack runs Twitter, so yeah, boy, he said, anybody can
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: see it. Anybody can copy it, So yeah, anybody can
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: see it. But it's many, but it gives you a
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: digital certificate of authenticity, so it confirms that it's real.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: It's one of a kind. Nobody else will have it,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: and it's the only one I just want to know
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: that appreciate with about you. That's a all right, Well
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: that is your rumor report. Cash. You can never tell
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: it something appreciates. I mean, that's just up in the air.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Just like when you buy art, you don't know if
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: it's gonna appreciate or not. Some art you can you
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: know if it's gonna appreciate, just like some vehicles. You
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: know it's gonna appreciate. But I'm just curious about what happens,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you know, because right now it's a fat right. Everybody
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: wants to do it. But let's say people say, you

  Speaker 1: murder charge. The woman was a twenty four year old
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: visiting from Pennsylvania. She was staying at the Albion Hotel.

• 23:43
  Speaker 1: staggering that they had to hold her up as they
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: walked into the elevator, holding her from behind, holding her
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: by the neck so that she could stand. Once at

  Speaker 1: cash or credit cards and her phone and left her
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: in the room without any concern for her welfare or safety.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: They then used the stolen credit card at various locations
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: in Miami Beach, and they were caught on video surveillance
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: actually using her credit card. Yeah, they're gonna wake up
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: in a prison ten years from now kicking themselves thinking
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: about that stupid ass choice they made to go down
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the South Beach and do that to a young lady.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: But yeah, they deserve life, they absolutely for a long time.

• 29:03
  Speaker 1: have my most of my brain functioning, So I'm okay.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I always talk to people about your book Mastery because
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I think it's so important. I actually have a show
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I did with Facebook and it's called Mastery of Comedy
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: and it's experienced comics that are helping out the up
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: and coming ones. But that is basically based off of
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: some of the ideas from your book Mastery. Oh I
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: didn't know that. Well, that's great. You should have had
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: me on your show. Well, it's just a little Facebook show.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I always look at you, Rabbit Green, as somebody that's like,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: you know for that. Yeah, I'm not too big for that.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: The Outliers inspired Mastery because Outliers was ten thousand hours
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: you just expounded on the left of ours. Well, I
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: can honestly say I haven't read Outliers, so it didn't
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: come from Outliers. I was aware of what he said.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: There's actually some differences between what he wrote in that book.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I respect Malcolm Gladwell a law, but when I write
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: a book, I try not to read things that are
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: too close to it that have come out recently, because
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I want my ideas to be my own a bit.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I'm a bit independent that way, so I deliberately avoided
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: reading it, but I respect him. The ten thousand hour rule,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: which some people now are doubting, actually doesn't come from
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Malcolm Gladwell. It comes from a very famous study in
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties. But Mastery was just sort of coming
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: out of my own brain at a particular moment in
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: my life. What would you think the difference between, you know,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: the ten thousand hour theory and what you put in Mastery, Well,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I very much believe in the ten thousand hour theory.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I was trying to show what would happen to the
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: human brain at twenty thousand hours, for instance. So Mastery
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the endpoint is what I call a mix of the
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: intuitive and the rational. You reach such a point where
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: you probably are almost there Charlamagne, with how many podcasts done,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: where we have a feel for what you're doing a
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: fingertip field, it's almost inside of it. You don't have
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: to think anymore. So at ten thousand hours you become
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: pretty brilliant creative in chess, in music or whatever, venture
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: or in sports. I wanted to go to the next level.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: What happens if you spend ten, fifteen, twenty years delving
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: into something and repeating and doing it over and over
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: again with still a lot of enthusiasm and excitement, you
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: reach a level that's to me almost superhuman, like an Einstein,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: like a da Vinci. So that's that's the only difference.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: And it's not just a matter of accumulating ten thousand hours.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: That's the misconception people have because you can spend fifty years,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: you know, in your garage painting and you'll eventually accumulate
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: twenty thousand hours, but you won't be a master. You
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: have to be. It has to be intensity, It has
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: to be the kind of practice that you have, you know,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: it has to be within a certain time frame. So
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: that's the only difference. And what I like about other
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: things that I always use is when we talk about
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: having your back against the war right to get out
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: of a difficult situation, and we always need to operate
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: with that same type of intensity. And that's something that
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I tried to practice too, where when you're comfortable, sometimes
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: you don't go so hard, but then it takes for
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: you be in a really difficult situation for you to say, Okay,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I'm at my wits end. It's either do or die
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: right now, and that's when you really spring into action. Yeah,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: that's called the death ground strategy. I did that in
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: my thirty three Strategies of War book. I remember I
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: was doing a book with fifty cent called The fiftieth Law,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and I know I was a bit intimidated working with him,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: and it was the first time I'd ever worked with
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: the so called celebrity. And the first version of the
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: book was actually not very good. I have to be honest,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: and the publisher was going to cancel the project. They
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: weren't satisfied with They were being polite, but they weren't
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: satisfied with it. And so we brought in somebody else
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: as a publisher and he said, okay, Robert, you have
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: to redo it, and I cast I decided I'm going
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: to redo it. And basically the problem was it wasn't
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: enough me in the book. It was too much about
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: too much fifteen not enough for me. It needed to
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: be a mix. And he said, all right, we'll do
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: what you say, but you have eight months to write it.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Eight months and there's no way I can write this
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: in eight months. I've got to rethink the whole thing.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: It's impossible. He said, Well, that's it. It's either that
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: or the book is killed. And I never worked harder
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: in my life. Ideas. It was like what you say,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: do it or you die. It was either finished that
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: book or I would have failed in something, and it
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: would have been very embarrassing. So when your back is
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: against the wall like that, you suddenly find energy and
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: ideas and a whole other level that you never suspect
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: it was inside of you. It's interesting that you said
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: you were intimidated working with fifty on The Fifty of Law,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: because the book is about overcoming fear. Well that's good. Yeah,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: I mean I don't I don't deny that I'm human.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: I have fear. You know when I met fifty he
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: was actually said later on, he was a bit intimidated
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: by me. You know, the guy who wrote the forty
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: eight Laws of Power. We're now good friends, but you know,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: he's he's a lot more famous than I am, and
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I wanted the book to be something he was proud of,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: and that was really good. So having a level of
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: a little bit of fear to me that level of
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: fear where you think that your project, that your book
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: isn't necessarily the greatest, that you have to up your game,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: that you have to make it better and better. That
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: kind of level of fear can be productive. But the
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: other fears that we talked about in the fiftieth law
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: are very debilitating, particularly now in the pandemic. So, you know,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: I want to go back to something you said about
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: master because it's almost unfair that we age physically because
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: you know, you really don't become a master until later
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: in your life, just based off experiment experience. Right. Is
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: that why Lebron and Tom Brady are such a nomallies
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: because they're able to anteen physically and so mentally they
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: just massed at their craft. I think it's a combination
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: of both. You know, you look at the two of them,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: and what they have in common is that they're they're
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: incredibly incredibly good shape and it's not just working out
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: in their physique. They also have an incredibly good diet, right,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: and so they understand that you have to treat the
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: whole body. And they're also very much into the mental
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: aspect and keeping the mind fresh and not you know,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: you could get kind of boring playing basketball for so
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: many years the same game over and over, you can
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: get burnout. And to be at his level thirty five,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: thirty six years old and to still feel like a
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: kid and be excited, that takes a lot of work.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: So it's a combination of the mental and the physical
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: as well. And it would be amazing if people in
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: any venture sports or writing books or podcasting, if you
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: could go on till you're eighty nine, imagine the wisdom
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: that you would have at that point. But that's just
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: not how we're built, you know. Yeah, how did the
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: script change your perspective on life? Well, it's it's it's
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: not been easy. I must I mean, I don't want
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: to complain because now people are going through a lot
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: of terrible stuff, you know, with the virus and a
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: lot of people are dying. But I was someone who
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: was very much into you know, exercise to movement. Writing
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: can be very stressful, and my way of distressing was
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: taking a hike up here in Griffith Park or going swimming,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: or going on my mountain bike, and in doing those things,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: some of my best thoughts would come to me. And
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: I can't do any of that right, So I'm sort
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: of trapped here in the house, and I have to
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: learn I still can do other forms of exercise. I've
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: had to change my whole way of thinking. But on
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: the other hand, it's merely made me work on myself
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: because I have you know, I have flaws as well,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: and some of them are my impatience, the fact that
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I really need want things to happen right now. I've
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: had to become much more patient and in a way
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: a little more humble, you know, because I can empathize
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: a lot with people who don't have so much control
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: over their life, whether it's physically or financially or whatever
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: it is. Because for a good year, I was completely
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: dependent on people helping me just eat and do basic things.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: So it really kind of was a humbling experience and
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: I'm still dealing with it. I'm still learning from it,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: but it's I wish to hell it had never happened,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: and I often am just thinking back to just the
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: days just before I had my stroke. My life seems
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: so beautiful, but I didn't realize how beautiful it was.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: And I tell people a lot, don't take for granted
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: the little things you have right now, because something like
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: this happens, they could be gone and you don't realize
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: until after it's gone. So it's been. It's been the
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: worst and the most powerful experience in my life so far. Wow.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about the law of
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: human nature. You know, it's a great book, and you
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: know you you talk about why people do what they
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: do and how you can use both your own psychological
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: flaws and those of others to your advantage at work
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: and relationships in life. How much does technology influence the
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: laws of human nature? Because to your point, I think
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: people wake up nowadays and they get online social media
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: to even know what to think, to even know what
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: to feel. I don't even think people's natural thoughts of
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: their own. They don't, they don't tap into that. So
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: how much does the technology influence the laws of human nature? Well?
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: So human nature is something that's that's something we don't
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: we're not even aware of. It's so deep, with enough,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: it comes from literally millions of years of evolution, and
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: how our brains are wired from circumstances completely different from
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: our very sophisticated technological society. How our levels of fear
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: and how our emotions are wired, How we're extremely susceptible
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: to the feelings and ideas of other people around us,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: in our tribe or whatever, and how we're prone to
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: feelings envy, and how the human being can feel aggressive
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: and tribal, etc. And so technology hasn't changed that. So
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: twenty thirty years of the internet is not going to
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: rewire the human brain that evolved over so many millions
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: of years. It's ridiculous to think that. In what it
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: does is it makes things worse. It intensifies so many
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: of the worst aspects of human nature. So I talk
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: in the book of the power of envy. Envy is
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: one of the oldest and most profound human emotions. We
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: all experience it, right, but nobody ever likes to talk
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: about it because it's a very ugly emotion. It's basically,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: you wish that you have something that other people have,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: and if it gets ugly enough, you act upon it. Well.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Social media, in which we are aware on a level
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: unimaginable ten twenty years ago, of every little thing going
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: on in your life, of all the wonderful relationships you're having,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: of all of the great places you're visiting, all your
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: wonderful travel experiences, etc. It's just a machine for generating
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: envy among people, and we see that having political consequences
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: and profound social consequences. And so the idea that I'm on,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: you know, the fear of missing out, you have to
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: feel like you're doing what other people doing, where natural
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: conformists is part of human nature, and this only kind
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: of makes that worse. And then the fact that we
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: have a dark side. I talk in the book that
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: we have a shadow. There's a dark side to our character.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Every single person has that. Well, on the Internet where
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: you're basically anonymous, where you don't pay any consequences for
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: being mean spirited, for being for bullying, for saying the
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: stupidest things. Here you can just try out all of
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: the worst parts of your character and pay no consequences.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: So it's just this this cool of all the worst
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: parts of human nature that that can that can just
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: kind of sit there and fester. I mean, there's a
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: good part of social media. I don't deny that, but
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: it hasn't changed human nature. It's just showing it a
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: very powerful spotlight on it. Man. That's such a good point,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: especially when you think about, you know, the dark side
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: and how everybody had the dark side because you know,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: you can look back at old tweets all, you know,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: old video everything, and you you can be looking at
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: yourself and be like Jesus Christ, who was that? You
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? But you were fueling the machine
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: that is social media because that's what with the gas
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: that made it go at the time. Yeah, it lives
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: off of outrage. It lives off constantly generating people being
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: upset and angry about things. And the angry you are,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: and the more you, you know, you kind of spew
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: whatever your ideas are, the more people like you, the
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: more you seem genuine, the more you seem animated and
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: very you know, full of conviction. So it could be
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: very dangerous. And we've seen the play out, I believe
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: in the Trump era and some of the horrible things
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: we went through for four years with his Twitter feed, etc.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Now I want to talk about there's been a lot
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: of conversations lately about ownership and entrepreneurship, and you have
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: interesting things to say about self reliance and how partnerships
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: and how you kind of have to have ownership and
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: things so that you're not relying on other people. Do
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: you think that's a trait that anybody can have. Well,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: you know, there's we're all wired differently. Some people are
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: not entrepreneurial by nature. They have higher levels of fear,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: for example, And so there are people out there who
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: are better off working for a large company. My father,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: God bless him, I loved him dearly. He worked for
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: the same company for forty years. You know. He was
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: basically a salesman and he had he's kind of working
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: on his own, but it was with this one company.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: So some people aren't wired for that. But the world
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: that we live in, I think is just this a
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: place now that kind of rewards that sort of spirit.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: And we're in a period coming out of the pandemic
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: where all the signs seem to indicate that we're heading
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: towards some kind of boom, some kind of economic boom.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: There's going to be incredible opportunity out there. People are
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: dying for all kinds of new experiences. I know that
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: very myself. We've all been cooped up in our houses,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: our apartments, and we're yearning for something new. And so
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: there's going to be insane opportunities out there for starting
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: your own business on any level. And so you have
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: to deal though first with your levels of fear, because
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: what happens with people is they say, I have a
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: great idea, but I'm not ready yet. I need to
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: find the financing, I need to find the help. And
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: I always tell people your go before you think you're ready,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: because you're going to learn a lot more when you
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: try something, you're gonna find, like we talked about the
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: death ground strategy, when it's either get this thing off
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: the ground or you're gonna lose a lot of money,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: you'll find a whole other level of energy to you.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: But I think all of us can learn to be
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: self reliant. We just have to deal with that first
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: initial fear of failure, of being on our own, etc.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: And that's sort of what the fiftieth law was about.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: All right, well, ole move, We got more with Robert
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Green when we come back is the Breakfast Club Good
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Morning's DJ Envy Angela Yee Schal. Imagine the guy we
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: ought to Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Robert Green, Chalomagne.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of people nowadays, you know, to
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: go back to the forty law of party. They stir
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: up water to catch fish, right, but we call them
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: trolls now Oh God, is the prize worth it for
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: a troll to stir shop just because? Yeah, I mean,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: it's it's that's what I talked about when I was
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: mentioned the dark side of human nature, you know, so
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: normally the reason what I talked where the dark side
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: comes out from is when you were a kid, you
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: were kind of this complete person you had. You had
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: an aggressive side, you had a kind side. You would
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: pull your sister's hair, you would tease her, you would
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: do all kinds of mean things were like I did
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: to my sister, and then you could be kind and sweet,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: and slowly over the years it's kind of pounded out
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: of you. You have to be a good person. You
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: have to be nice, you have to be polite, you
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: have to hide all of those dark that dark energy
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: that you felt when you were a child, and then
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: you get older and you want to act out on it. Well,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: some people have that more than others. They never quite
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: grew up. They felt like that kind of repressing that
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: dark side was they lost something very valuable about themselves.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: They're yearning to let it out, and so trolling is
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: the absolute best way at it, you know, and social
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: media is like the perfect instrument for being a troll.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: You know, you can say the worst possible things and
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: get under people's skin. And all. We're all volatile, we're
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: all emotional. I've dealt with it myself. When I had
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: laws of human nature out, I would posting things out
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: on Facebook, and these really bitgy, mead spirited people would
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: come out of the woodwork and would post the stupidest comments.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can withstand people being malicious and all that,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: but I can't stand stupidity where they actually think they're
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: smart and they have some kind of counter argument to
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: a book I spent five years researching, and they in
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: their little apartment on their computer, who's maybe spent two
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: hours thinking about it. They know more than me. You know,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: it really gets you angry. But I found you know,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to deal How do you deal with
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: the troll The best way to deal with them is
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: to ignore them. Don't feed the trolls, as we say,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: you know, and we all dealt with it with Trump,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: to be honest with I don't want to get too political,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: but here, but he was like the troller in chief,
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: the president troll of our country, and he knew how
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: to get under everybody's skin and rile them up. And
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: I've spent four years getting continually riled up by his
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: trolling maneuvers, and it's a great relief to not to
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: have that anymore. But you have to when you're dealing
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: with a troll, you have to control yourself because their
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: power lies in getting you angry and upset. And if
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: you refuse to get angry and upset, if you refuse
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: to take debit and respond to them, then they feel like,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: you know, then they feel challenged, they feel like they
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: had they didn't win. So that's the best response to
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: a troll, you know. And in light of the me
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: too movement? Right, do you regret anything you wrote in
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: the Artist Abduction? Because you even refer to targets that
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: subduction as prey choose the write victim. Would you change
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: any of that now? I think I would. I think
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: I would. I wouldn't shoot change the gist of the book,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: but I would. It's interesting because I've been having this
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: discussion with a few people who've been interviewing me lately,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: some feminists, etc. And yes, I would change the word victim.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: I think that's inappropriate, and I would maybe change some
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: of the press it or pray stuff, and I think that,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: you know, we live in kind of slightly puritanical times,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: I believe, No, yeah, puritanical now. I like that because
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: me and my homeboy Van, we always talk about, you know,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: there's there's these purity tests that you just won't be
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: able to pass. Ever, but for whatever reason, we live
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: in an era where everything has to be pure. That's impossible. Yeah. Well,
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: you know, it's like everyone has to you know, virtue signaling.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: They have to show how they're they're the most woke
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: person that they have the most virtuous out there. And
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: so I don't want to totally get rid of that
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: edge to it. You know, I don't want to feel
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: live in a world where everybody in culture, rap artists, filmmakers,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: feel like they always have to tow a line. They
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: can't say or do something. We can't be honest anymore
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: about ourselves, about who we are, about human nature. We
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: are not angels, right, We are descended from primates, not angels,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: and we have to come to terms with that. And
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: so I'm afraid that we're entering a period where people
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: are afraid to say their emotions or to express what's
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: really going on inside of their censoring themselves, right, And
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I know you say that that is again fear right,
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: because you're not able to just sometimes go right into
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: the fire and be who you are because you're always
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: concerned about what other people might think about you, what
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: might happen to you as a result or something that
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: you say. Well, I mean, look at the consequences. Now,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: you say one wrong thing and your band from some
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: platform or nobody, your boycotted on some level. So the
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: fear there is real. You know, if I suddenly said
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: something so controversial on this show, I won't do it
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: where people are so up in arms they start saying,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Robert Green is evil, He's the devil. We can't We're
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: going to burn the forty eight laws of power. You know,
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: I'd suffer very strong financial consequences. That doesn't happen if
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: he said it doesn't I mean he said I feel
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: like he says whatever's on his mind and it could
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: be controversial and it's still booming. Yeah, I mean, he
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: he lives off that. That's how he gets publicity, you know.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: But he doesn't matter, does he ever? Do you ever
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: get the impression that he kind of goes over the
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: line that he says something that's that's that offensive. Yeah,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: but but I mean I get it though you know
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I understand it. So it's like when
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: I put it like this, when he said certain things,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: it's not that it goes over the line with me,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: but I know that it'll go over the line with
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: some people. But you know, he's he's an anomaly. It's like,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: I feel like if somebody else said some of the
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: things that he said, it would be way worse than
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: anything that would happen to him. For some reason, he's
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: mass I don't know if it's because he's been working
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: with you, but he's master something strategies where he's able
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: to just yeah, it's it's amazing to me. I'm like,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I can't believe if he said that,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: and then it's fine. Well, part of it's his personality.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: He's very charismatic, he's very charming, he's kind of sweet.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: He's got a very good sense of humor. Now I
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: only got two more questions. I want to talk to
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: you about meditation, because you know that's something a good
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: friend of mine named named Debbie Brown is trying to
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: get have been trying to get me to add to
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: my mind fulness repertoire forever. And I started doing it
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: over New Year's Eve. Ye New Year's congratulations. Oh man,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: I love it like it's amazing for me. What does
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: your meditation practice look like. Well, I do a form
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: of zen meditation, which is a bit difficult. I've been
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: doing it for close to eleven years now, and I
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: do it forty minutes after as soon as I wake up.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: And I turned it into a little ritual because I
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: like rituals as a writer. It's kind of how you live.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: And then for forty minutes, and forty minutes is a
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: pretty long time, I try and completely empty my mind,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: no thoughts, nothing going on. I can honestly say that
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: meditation is saved my life. I don't think I would
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: be here without it. Wow. And in this world today,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: with so many distractions, with so many things in our face,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: you've got people have to meditate it. I mean, if
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: you can, it's it's it's it's it's life saving, it's
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: it's the most important thing for you. My last question,
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: do you think we'll ever have a true understanding of
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: power and human nature? Well, it depends. I mean probably not.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Because I told people the first law of human nature
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: is that we deny that we have human nature. We
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: don't want to admit it. We don't want to admit
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: that we can be irrational or aggressive or grandiose or
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: field envy, or that we have a dark side, on
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: and on and on. It's always the other person. Power
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: is a dirty little secret in our culture. People will
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: talk about their sex lives, they'll talk about whatever it is,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: they'll reveal everything going on, what they had for breakfast, etc.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: But nobody will ever talk about the power, the power
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: moves they did to get ahead in life. And we
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: all have done them right, We've all been manipulative in
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: some way to get to the top. If we got
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: to the top. So there's a lack of honesty about
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: who we are and about our desire for power and
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: the things we do for power. And I don't think
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: that's getting any better. You know, maybe in two hundred
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: years a ray of light, well it will hit earth
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: and people will will change and they'll suddenly be more
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: self aware, and that would be a wonderful thing, but
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't bet on it. Wow, well man, thank you, Robert,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: you know, thank you for all your literature, all information
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: you've given us over the years, the conversation you create.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you for Ryan Holiday, who's also become one of
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: my favorite authors. And I can't well. I have a
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: book coming out that Ryan has helped me with in
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: the fall. It's you know, Ryan's Daily Stoic. Yeah, I
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: read it every morning. All right. I'm coming out with
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: my own version called The Daily Laws. It'll be out
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: in September. Inspired that very similar to that. Wow, just
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: finishing that up right now, Robert, thank you very much.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Can't wait for that. That that Daily PowerBook and Daily
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Law Book in September. Okay, all right, all right, Faith,
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: She's filling the team. This is the Rumor Report with
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Demi Levado's movie,
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: Demi Levado Dancing with the Devil. It's a four part
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: documentary that premier is today actually on YouTube Originals. Reveals
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: a lot and in this documentaries she talks about dealing
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: with her addiction and also a nearly fatal overdose in
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Here is the trailer. I crossed a line
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: that I had never crossed. Are we talking about heroin?
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Are we doing that? Is a lot? People are gasping
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: action levels or dangerously well, what you mean watching all
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: of her blood out of her body into a machine.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: She's like, I can't I can't see I can't see him.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: I had three strokes, I had a heart attack. My
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: doctors said that I had five to ten more minutes
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: that could top and said, yeah, you could be. You
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: know a lot of people can be a function to heroin.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: And never you ain't gonna never get off, doctor Carl Hard.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: This lady, this lady heroin had strokes and heart attacks,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: had to take the blood out of her system. And
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: she's rich, and she's rich, Doctor Carl Hart would say
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: that she should be able to test her drugs right
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: to see what's in it right, because if she probably
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: took something that had other things in it other than pure,
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: well she did, she said she, She said she had
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: that night done meth and she had never done it before,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: and she makes it with ecstasy, coke weed, alcohol, and oxycotton.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: So that was the night of the first relapse when yes,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: all of that happened. So it feels like he and
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: he also did say mixing all these drugs together is
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: normally what leads to people overdosing, and she could have
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: died from that. She said she has brain damage that
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: she still deals with the effect of that today. She said,
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: I don't drive a car because I have blind spots
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: in my vision. She said she had a really hard
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: time reading for a long time, and it was a
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: big deal when she was able to read a book
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: because her vision was so blurry from that. So you
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: can start watching that docuseries. She also said that it
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: was an untreated eating disorder that led to her relapse.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: She read a magazine that said she was morbidly obese,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: and the body shaming is actually what led to her relapse.
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: I know these three words it easier said than done,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: and they sound cliche, and I don't necessarily agree with
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: the reagans at all, but damn just saying no, bro,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: it's just easier to keep people from even getting into
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: that world is trying to figure out the right way
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: to do the wrong thing, and also body shaming and
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: all of that just She said she had to stop
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: a read articles about herself and that also helped her
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: because people were talking about her, and you know, that's
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: not easy to deal with either when you're in the
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: public spotlight. She's been working since she was ten years old.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: All right, now, comedian Garry owens estranged wife Kenya Duke
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: has gone on social media. Now she posted something and
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: we don't know what's going on here, but somehow Claudia
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Jordan and a mystery friend, a mystery woman is involved.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: She posted, I have all your info. I'm going to
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: deal with you in a minute. I'm a little busy. Now.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: You can have him, but you can't disrespect me and
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: my kids in the process. She told Owen let her
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: know a storm is coming, and then she put in
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: the caption tried to be quiet out of respect for
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: my kids, but Claudia Jordan has me on one this morning,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: twenty three years together. Gary didn't have ish but a
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: raggedy pickup, in good credit and no place to live.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: And then she posted you're old as should no better married,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: not separated married, And then she posted to at Gary
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: Owen Comedy, all the energy you spent lying, acting and
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: creating a fake narrative for these bitches that want to
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: be me, you could have done it with a veggie
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: burger and a glass of fake filtered water. Then she
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: said white women are not involved. Hashtag not Claudia. Hashtag
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Claudia's friend hashtag dragging me back to ninety eight MacArthur Street. Mindset.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: What the hell are y'all talking about this morning? I
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: don't know, and guess what neither this Claudia Jordan. Here's
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: what she had to say. I guess the story is
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: that I somehow that he cheated and the woman is
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: my friend. First of all, in my twenty years of
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: knowing him, not one of my friends have ever told
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: me or have ever implied that they have messed with
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: this man. And also know, as adults, sometimes people break up, y'all,
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: and it's not as scandals as you wanted to be.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: It's none of our business. But all I came out
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: here to tell y'all is that I have absolutely nothing
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: to do with it. I do not have a friend
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: in Dallas or anywhere else that is this man's mistress.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know if any woman that's his mistress. I
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: do not know what the hell y'all talking about. One
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: thing she said that is very true, It is none
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: of our business. But the problem is all of this
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: stuff plays out on social media. So when it plays
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: out on social media, people think it becomes their business
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: because now they feel like they have to have an
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: opinion about it, and I wish none of social media.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: When I saw this, I went right to Claudia's page
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: to see if she had responded to it, and I
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: saw she was on a flight and her comments. People
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: were going at her, and she was like, what are
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: y'all talking about? What? I'm on the flight right now.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening. So she said, a raggedy
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: ass pickup truck, bad jokes and good credit. What did
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: she say? You're just doing the bad job. I think
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: the bad jokes, jokes you pick up and good credit
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: and no place to live about bad jokes for no reason.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: I want you to heat. I was asking the question

  Speaker 1: donkey of the day. They chose you, chose you? You Yeah,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: talk you today for Tuesday, March twenty third goes to
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: a former Louisiana priest named Travis Clark. Travis Clark is
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: thirty seven years old and he's a former priest. Did
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: I say that already? Yes? I did. But he is
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: a former priest. I'm saying that for a third time.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Why is he a former priest saying it for a
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: fourth time. Well, he's a former priest saying it for
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: a fifth time because he wasn't practicing what he was preaching. Okay,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of that going around nowadays, and I
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: don't know how y'all live that way. Okay, I'm doing
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: my own head about everything to live that way. That's
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons I'm in therapy every week. That's
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: why I meditate the way my anxiety is set up.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: I'm always questioning everything. Okay, anxiety be like, okay, but
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: what if I'd be like, I got this, leave me alone.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: We've gone over this one hundred times already and we
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: totally resolved it. Did anxiety be like, yeah, but I've
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: looked at it from a new angle, and there's like
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: twenty more reasons why you should be worried about it
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: than me. I just sit there and then I tell anxiety,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: go on, continue, tell me more. And this is why
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: I could never just lie to people. And I'm a
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: human who loves to lie for no reason. But I
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: tell the kind of lies that you will hear and
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: shay to yourself. I know he's lying, but you have
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: to see for yourself. And when you find out I'm lying,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: you're not really mad because you knew I was lying
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: to begin with. For example, last week, I told Envy
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: that Security was dealing with a guy downstairs who refused
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: to leave until he got a kiss from our pink
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: power ranger DJ Envy. Now, Envy, did you believe me
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: when I told you that? Yes? No, you didn't. You did? Yeah,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: I caused the cur to securities like, what the hell
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: are you talking about? Why would you believe that? Though?
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: That's you? But see that that's my point. You know
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: it's me. You know I'm lying. I'm saying all that
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: to say, I'm just not built to lie to the masses. Okay,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: just Envy, all right, I'm not I'm not built to
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: lie to the masses. Okay. Pastors, relationship coaches, spiritual gurus,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: all these people who need these colt like followings to
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: make a living, to make a dollar, manipulating folks pretending
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: to be something they are not know Okay, but it's
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: not gonna stop anytime soon, because this online era we
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: live in really rewards people for performing. Everybody is an avatar.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: They log online and become people they are not in
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: real life. But one thing about those performances, though, the
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: curtain will always fall. Yes, when you are performing and
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: not truly being who you are, not being authentic, the
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: curtain will eventually fall and this show will be over.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: That's why Travis Clark is a farmer priest, Ladies and Ghettlement.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: He's a farmer priest because his idea of the Trinity
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: is different than the idea of the Trinity that most
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: religious folks know. Christians in particular, they know the Trinity
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: as the unity of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: The Godhead is what I think they call it, the Godhead. Now,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: Travis Clark believe in the Trinity is being one Dominatrix.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: Am I pronouncing that right? Yea dominatrix? Yes? That so, Yes,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: Travis Clark believes in the Trinity is being one dominatrix,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: two dominatrixes and him. Okay, I don't know what kind
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: of head you what, I'm sure someone's involved. Would you
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: like to know the full story? Let's go to wwltvcbs
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: fall for the report. Police. By now you've likely heard
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: about the burning of an altar at a Pearl River church.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: Investigator David Hammer brought you the story this week about
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: Father Travis Clark and his sexual misconduct inside Saints Peter
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: and Paul Church and Pearl River. Now, according to documents,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: a passer by spotted father Travis Clark halfneck at having
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: relations on the the women, Melissa Chang and Mindy Dixon
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: were dressed in corsettes and high healed boots, and in
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: those documents that were adult toys, stage lighting and a
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: mobile phone as well as a separate camera recording it all.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: Father Travis Clark, you in the church on the all
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: to having sex using holy water is lou b listen, man,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: the flesh is weak. We all fall short. I'm sure
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: Travis Clark has preached against this kind of behavior, but
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: this is when the narcissism comes into place. This is
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: when the ego takes over. It's one thing to fall
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: short and have sex, Okay, you human, father calrk. I
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: get it, you made a mistake. But to have sex
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: in the church a top of church, alto, that's like
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: sleeping with another woman in your house, in the bed
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: you share with your wife. When you, as a priest
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: move like that, you don't care about the church, the congregation, yourself,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: and you can't truly care about God or his raf either. Now.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: I was reading up on Christian sex life this morning,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: and it's a website called Bible Reasons, and it says
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: Christian sex life is amazing. Sex within marriage is a
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: blessing from God, and married couples were free to do
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: any sexual position they want, whether you want to do
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: missionary or something else. Sex within marriage is God's gift
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: to us, or you're free to do whatever between the
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: two of you. Only we are not to have threesomes
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: and sex with multiple people, nor are we allowed to
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: bring pornography in the bedroom. So, Father Clark, you did
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: a threesome and the church on the church altar with
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: two women. You're not married to, Father Clock. You're going
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: to hell. Those are the rules. Okay? Are those still
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: the rules? He'll still exists, right, Okay, do not pass, go,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: do not collect two hundred, Go to Hell, Father Clark. Okay,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: you could have been on Christian mingle finding a wife
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: so you could have nice, guilt free marriage, sinless sex.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: But no, you want to have threesomes on the church altar.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: Now you gotta go to hell. Okay, I think God
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: would have forgiven you if you would have did this
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: in the hotel, But on the church altar, the church altar, Nope,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: you gotta burn. Okay, please, and the name of God,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: Jesus and the Holy Ghost. Let Rimymond give Father Travis
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: Clark the biggest he ha he ha he ha, you
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: stupid mother? Are you dumb? They had to set the
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: whole church altar on fire because of Father Clock Judea
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: the World's most Dangerous morning show. Morning Everybody is tej Envy,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: We got a special guest joining us this morning, Cynthia Arrival. Welcome,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: thank you very much. Hello, good morning, Cynthia. How are
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: you got? Good? Thank you? How you doing? I'm blessed
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: Black and hally Fame. Well, obviously we're here to talk
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: about the genius Aretha series that you're starring in as Aretha.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: So were you a huge fan of everything? Because I
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: know you're already a singer and a songwriter. What was
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: your connection before the series? Yeah, I was a big fan.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: I'm a big fan. I started listening to her maybe
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: when I was about nine, and I fell in love
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: with how she communicated through her music, how she was
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: able to commit a feeling, an emotion, a circumstance through song.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: And I was learning through her how to do that
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: for myself. So how did this role? How did this
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: role come about. I was on the red carpet at
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: the Tony's and I was asked by Mark A Variety
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: to sing my favorite song or like my guilty pleasure song,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: and Ain't No Way was one of my songs. And
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: in fact, he didn't ask me to sing, He just
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: asked me what it was. And then when I told
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: him what it was, he sort of gave the notework.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: Sing some of it please, So I sung a bit
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: of the song and that went back to Brian Grazer
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: and Clyde Davis, and then I got a message saying
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: that they had heard me sing this on the red
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: carpet and that they wanted me to come in and
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: talk about playing the role. Cynthia's the most important thing
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: when it comes to playing these roles, because the first
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: thing I think is when I see it, I say,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: like a river, Franklin. So what's the most important thing?
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: I think The most important thing is whether or not
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: you can find the essence of that person, because it's
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: one thing to mimic a person, but that's not what
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: I am. I'm I'm not a mimic. I can't do that.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: That's not what I'm not. An impressionist and if that's
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: all I was, the rest of the story couldn't be told.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: So I guess it's wanting to tell the story as
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: fully as possible. It's one to find out what the
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: essence of her was. It is finding out what her
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: music did and how her music was song and met
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: the method that she was singing in, the technique she had,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: and it's the I think the want of everyone around
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: me as well to want to tell it, just the
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: same as Dinah Russ did for Lady Day. She looked,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: but she had her essence down to her. Tea was
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: really special. So we able to speak with the family
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: before doing this and maybe get some insight about her
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: life and anything like that. I was able to speak
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: to her family, but I'm lucky enough to know a
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: lot of people who were very close to her, so
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: I spoke to a lot of those people. Had a
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: conversation with Miss Felicia Richard as well about Everytha and
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: Lynda's herman actual spoke to us about their relationship and
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: how he felt about her, and that was a wonderful
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: thing to find out too. Yeah, it was difficult, I
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: think for you to be in this position right where
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: you want to play this iconic role. But then there
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: was so much controversy with the family and everything as
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: whether or not they wanted this to even have been
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: So how did that play into your decision? The thing
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: is I didn't know about what was happening with the
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: family prior to this. All of this is sort of
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: like coming out in the wash now. So for me,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: I had already believed that everyone had the information and
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: the promotions that they needed, and as far as I knew,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: they were already speaking to the estate that had already
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: allowed for this to happen. So my job was just
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: to play the Queen of Soul as fully and as
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: truthfully as I possibly could. Yeah, and it's heartbreaking because
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: for me, I love her. I would never do anything
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: that causes any harm to her. I would never do
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: anything that doesn't show her in the light that she's
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: meant to be shown. The woman had an incredible life
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: and incredible career and had to work through some really
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: tough things, And I think that the thing that we
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: get to show with this is how much she had
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: to work to get to where she was and how
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: difficult it was at the time that she was living
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: through to get to the thing that we know now,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: which for me makes her even more of a hero
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: than we realized. Did you have any reservations the player's
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: role because of the respect movie that's coming out Lady
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: this year? With me, I think that the more the merrier.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: I think there's a strange understanding that we can only
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: have one. But we have many Marilyn Monroe films, many
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: Judie Garland films, many presidents films of who which name
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: the President? And we have more than one. And I
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: thought that what a wonderful way. I knew that she
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: would get her wish with Jennifer Hudson and she would
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: get an extra with my version. So you were singing
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: for real in this series. Yeah, that's a lot of
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: pariasure too, to be singing these areta signs because you know,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: everybody's like, okay, but you did amazing, Thank you very much,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah. I've been singing her songs for a
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: long time now. She's too, I learned from so I
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: was really excited to learn the intricacies of the decision
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: she would make it in a song. No one song
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: is the same. She has her own very special way
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: of singing everything, and one song can be sung in
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: three different ways. If you if you listen to different
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: versions by Aretha, and I took the time every song
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: that we had an hour or an hour or two
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: to work through every single one to make sure that
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: I could get the small bits and pieces, the small
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: details that she would happen the songs. Yeah, would you
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: sing though? Right? Do I do? I do sing? Yeah?
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: You got an album coming out this songer? Right I do? Yes?
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: Who you sign? Would verb universal? Yeah? Okay, so you're
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: doing a lot. You got an album during this pandemic,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: You're acting during this pandemic. You're doing a lot. You
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: making sure your time is if you're doing your time
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: the right way. I was recording it whilst I was
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: doing so we would finish in the week and I
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: would have to go and vocal everything after on the weekend,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: so we get the week was full of Aretha. The
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: weekend was full of me singing. How do you dump that? Though?
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: I mean you you you're channeling like this great diva
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: during the week, Like, how do you put that to
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: the side to focus on the energy you want to
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: put out in your music? I don't know that you
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: can completely you put it aside. I think that you
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: know why, you kind of have to you have to
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: use it. I guess I was using the inspiration that
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: I was getting from from doing this show at the
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: same time, the details that she would have, the detail
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: oriented where she would use her music, the style, and
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: I know who I am individually, but there's a there's
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: a real passion in in a read that I sort
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: of I already heard but was amplified because I got
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: to play her. So I kind of used it. I
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: guess it's a great thing to be able to use
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: that kind of energy to perform. You sort of get
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: fired up. Really yeah, just even for yourself, right and
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: preparing for this role. And did you know a lot
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: of things about a Reatha or did you learn a
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: lot while doing this? Because I was watching it and
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: I love a Retha Franklin. I was when her house
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: was for sale and Detroit, I was like, I had
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: this big road in the middle of the carpet. I
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: was like, man, I wish I could buy this to
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: read the house. That's like a monumental thing. But even
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: when you're watching the first couple of episodes, you're you're
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: learning a lot about her childhood and how crazy it
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: was yeah, I knew. I knew some things and I
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: learned some things, you know. I think it's an incredible
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: feat to be able to be who she was after
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: being a mother at such an early age. And I
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: knew it, but when you're working through it and you
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: and you're putting it in context, it becomes even more amplified.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: That this woman had to be a mother and a
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: young woman before she was even ready to, but still
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: was able to work through that and become Aretha Franklin
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: that we know and love. I didn't know how deeply
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: she was working with the civil rights movement. I didn't
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: know that she had a relationship with Martin close friends.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: That was an eye opening moment for me, and I
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: think it was the first time that I was able
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: to put into context the fact that she that her Young,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: Gifted and Black album was because of that, that she
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: had made a decision to make an album that spoke
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: to the times that they were living through that she
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: was living through. We have more with Cynthia Arriva when
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: we come back. Doble was the Breakfast Good Morning, j Envy,
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the Guy We Are the Breakfast Club
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: were still kicking it with Cynthia Arrivo Charlomagne. What energy
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: have you channeled with for Rifa and Harriet for that matter,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: that was hard to get rid of. Harriet was something
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: to Harriet was traumatic, I would assume, Yeah, I had.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: I had a had a little mini breakdown after Harriet
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: because it was just tough to get rid of all
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: of the loss because as she was saving people, she
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: was losing a lot of her family at the same time.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: And she was she had lost her husband, she had
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: lost her sisters. She saved her family, but I think
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: she almost lost her brothers. So for that I it
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: was like this energy of loss. But there's both both
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: of these women have us an amazing amount of bravery.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: So there's this courage that I think have picked up
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: from both of these women. Yeah, we saw we saw
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: the Keith Stanfield saying that he had to, you know,
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: go to therapy after playing a role like William O'Neil.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: Did you have to do that after playing a role
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: like her? Yes, still go to therapy for it. It's
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: a lot. It was a lot too physically and mentally.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: Both those things combined were put through their paces. And yeah,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not like occasionally, you know, I thought she's gone,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: but even when I speak about it, it's still like
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: gets me. Yeah, you know, it's an eight prior miniseries,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: so we've only seen the first couple of episodes so far.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: But what it is hard to watch it's like a
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: complex relationship that Aretha has with her father, right, So
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: can you speak on that and how you kind of
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: delved into that when you were doing this role. But
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: he had a complex relation. I think she had a
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: lot of complex relationships, and this one was significant because
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: partially it's the reason why we have her. He you know,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: had her out with him at a really early age,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: and she was listened to by a lot of people,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: and she was singing at a very early age. And
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: I think that she loved him deep deeply, was very
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: afraid to let him go when he was when he
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: was dying, and still partially was that little girl who
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: was afraid to be without her father. But at the
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: same time, it was just she was an adult before
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: she was ready to be. And so if there was
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: this strange relationship of how do you compartmentalize and how
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: do you work out how to keep this child a
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: child whilst she's also a mother that that happened very quickly,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: and so I think that it never really balanced itself,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: to be honest. Yeah, that can be triggering too though, right, Cynthia,
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: if you don't have a strong relationship with your father
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: and you got to play that role, right, because I
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: think a lot of times, for a lot of us,
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: relationships were fathers sometimes are complicated because they feel more
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: transactional than nurturing and loving like mothers. Yeah, for me,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: that's that's very true. I don't have a relationship with
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: my father at all. I think the last time I
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: spoke to him I was sixteen. Yeah. Yeah, this role
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: hit a little different for you. Huh oh yeah yeah.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: And you have your own production company as well, right, Yeah,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: it's called Edith's Daughter, And we are trying to make
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: sure we show projects about women like myself and yourself
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: in spaces that we never get to see that we
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: exist in already, but they're very rarely shown to the world. So,
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: whether it be Sarah Forbes, Vanetta who was essentially a
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: princess in the UK but was basically erase from history,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: or a wonderful woman called Loadonna who happened to be
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: a security guard at JFK, and often they're the most
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: underrepresented people in the space, but they're actually doing the
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: hardest work and I'm always looking for those people. There's
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: everything from hopefully espionage to historical drama. You know you're cynthy.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: There's always criticism about non black Americans playing all the
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: roles of Black American icons. I feel like that Carbo
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: might have started with you when you played Harriet. I'm
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: not sure, but what do you say about that? I
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: don't think it started with me. May have started with
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: David maybe, but it definitely continued with me. What do
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: you say about that? I say that we're still in
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: a space of lack, and so what happens has become
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: at these roles as though that they're as though they
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: are the very last time it can be played or seen,
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: which is just not the case. And I hope that
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: my playing something doesn't mean that someone else can't play
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: this role, and that British Black actors are our actors
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: first and foremost. Our job is to tell the story
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: as truthfully as we possibly can. And I know that
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't get into this career to play myself. I
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: do that very well already, but that's that's not my passion.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: My passion is to tell stories of those who aren't
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: able to tell their own stories. And that might be
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: an American, it might be a Scandinavian, it could be
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: South African, it could be Nigerian, it could be British.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: As long as the story is something that I believe in,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: that's the story I want to tell, and hopefully now
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: I can create more roles for other people. That's the aim.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: Have you ever looked at an American playing a role
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: of an African or you know, a British person and
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: said that person shouldn't be playing that role because they're American. No. No,
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: it's so strange because it didn't occur to me that
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: that was that was an issue until until I got here.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: I've never looked like there are so many British roles
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: that have been played by Americans, so many and they've
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: been African roles played they Americans, but it's never I've
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: never been like wise in an African playing that role
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: because rectors. Now, also, I see there was a rumor
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: that you were in a relationship with Lena. Waithe that's
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: our good friend up here. Any truth to that? I mean,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: here's the thing like, I understand we have to ask it.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: But if you ask that question and I'll give you
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: an answer, that means that you are suggesting that I
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: need to tell you what my sexuality is right now,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: which means that if I'm not ready to come out here,
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: you would be outing me, Like how you do that
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: back on me? So let's so I didn't ask that question,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: but check out a wreath of the genius Aretha, and
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: we appreciate you for checking in. Thank you so much. Listen.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, got angel, It's all right. Another alle you
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: for DJMV. Now let's talk about this was trending yesterday
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: and everybody was talking about this guy, Derek Jackson. Now,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: I guess he is a relationship expert and he's a
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: quote relationship guru, and here he is. This is just
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: one of the things that he talks about about men
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: being cheaters. You know, women love this talk coming from
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: a man. I have no sympathy for a man who
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: finds it to be difficult to be faith after being
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: in a permission was lifestyle and neither ship. Nobody told
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: you to be permissious before the relationship, and nobody made
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: you be monogamous. We just heard you don't want her,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: let another man have her. Except and more times, I
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: would say nine times out of ten when the dude
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: gets caught cheating, that was wasn't his very very first
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: time cheating. That was his only time getting caught. Who. Well,
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: I hit dog Bill Holler and it was exposed that
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: he actually was cheating on his own wife. He's been
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: married for four years. And YouTuber Tasha k actually interviewed
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: a woman that he slept with named Candice Damaderos. And
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: I guess there's other women who are also coming forward. Well,
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: here is Derek Jackson who says that affair wasn't what
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: you think. Listen, at that point, I had a beef
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: with God. I gave my life to christ in my
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: whole life fell apart, my marriage fell apart. At this point,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not seeing my kids and I really honestly just
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: went to a place of ethic. That was in May June.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: She basically lets me know there's no plan for her
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: to be around on my birthday. Now I'm in screw it, molde,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: ef it, molde. I'm hitting up old chicks. I really
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: don't care at this point. One of those people was
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: a girl named Candids. Now here's the thing. So me
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: and Candids have had a sexual relationship without actually having sex. Man,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: you are a liar, and you've always been a liar.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: I've never yeah a sexual relationship without having sex. Does
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: anybody understand that? Can you interpret that? No? I've never
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: heard someone say I gave my life to Christ and
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: my life fell apart. That's that's new one. But I mean,
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: you can have you can have emotional you can you
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: can cheat emotionally, right, right, you don't have to necessarily
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: have sex with you. Sometimes you just gotta say, I'm
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: I was wrong. I messed up. Yeah, I was confused
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: with the brother first of all. I was confused with
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: what makes him a specialist? Right, He's been married four
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: years and he portrays his perfect in perfection. And anybody
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: who's been married or been in a relationship, you know
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: that there is nothing perfect about a relationship, about a marriage,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: There's nothing perfect. There is Like even with my Poe cast,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: with me and my wife, we talk about everything, the good,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: the bad, the ugly. I talked about my infidelity. I
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: talked about everything because that's what makes the relationship strong,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: and that's what helps people out but portraying that something
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: is perfect. People look for this perfection and there is
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: no perfection. I talk about me being insecure, I talk
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: about me being controlling early on in our relationship, but
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: all that has helped and built to what we have today,
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: and we talk about everything. We still get into arguments,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: we still have problems, but we have great times. But
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: we talk about it and that's what relationships and marriage
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: is about, working through it. Well. Derek also had said
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: that he didn't sleep with that woman, or anyone for
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: that matter. He said that did not happen, He did
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: not sleep with her, but then he changed his tune.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: He actually did a video with his wife and she
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: was there with him. She was wearing a bonnet. And
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: here's what happened. The truth is is that Derek Jackson
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: was involved with other women outside the marriage, and I involved.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: I want to be clear. I'm not talking about just
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: casually kicking nick maybe a lunch or something like that.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about a serious that has sex and something
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: that otherwise may be considered okay by some, but without
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: my wife's knowledge of it, and with us having a
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: sexual history, all of it falls under the umbrella of
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: inappropriate cheating, affair, stepping out. It's important that I first thought,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: let you guys know I do not stand by those actions.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: And then secondly, I know that I cannot build a
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: platform preaching certain things, preaching against certain things. And then
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: in my real life lived contrary to that, I know
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: one thing. You have to let your wife get to
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: the part of the busteed challenge when Erica Banks song
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: plays before you put her online and embarrass her because
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: she looked like the Nelly Park was still playing. Yeah,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: she didn't look like drop down and come up fresh.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: Dad never asked, She didn't look like she want to
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: be there. And I would hope that they would figure
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: out their problems first before they go to the world,
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: Like figure out home first, don't don't. Don't just have
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: your wife up there and you're talking and she looks
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: like she doesn't want to be there. Fix the problem first,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: y'all get your therapy on, y'all get what y'all gotta
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: get on, and then you could addressed the public. This
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: ain't about the public, This ain't about the world. This
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: is if you really care, like you say, this is
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: about you and your wife, man and fixing the only
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: thing I would tell everybody out there, I would rather
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: be known in life as an honest center than a
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: lying hypocrite. Okay, and also remember that God will never
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: bless who you pretend to be. He will only bless
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: who you are. Also, in the words of MC breed,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: ain't no future in fronting. Okay, all of y'all that
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: be fronting and performing on social media because you get
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: rewarded for it. Just know one thing about performing, The
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: curtain will eventually fall. So many people wake up every
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: day pretending trying to be what people want want want
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: them to be instead of being their self, and that
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: performing is rewarded nowadays, but eventually that curtain falls and
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: the show is over. And finally, black men don't cheat. Okay,
