  Speaker 18: any industry to navigate be it. You want to start
• 11:16
  Speaker 18: a new endeavor, you want to overcome a challenge, you
• 11:18
  Speaker 18: want to pivot in your life. And so I'm telling
• 11:21
  Speaker 18: stories I've never told before, stories from dealing with you know,
• 11:24
  Speaker 18: some of my Hollywood folks. But it's really lessons, right,
• 11:27
  Speaker 18: It's lessons about this is how you deal with people,
• 11:31
  Speaker 18: how you position yourself to succeed, and how you have
• 11:35
  Speaker 18: healthy arrogance.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Now to be confused with toxic arrogance.
• 11:38
  Speaker 18: Right, toxic arrogant walks in the room and says, I'm
• 11:40
  Speaker 18: better than everybody here. I'm gonna win because you're gonna lose. Right,
• 11:44
  Speaker 18: I'm better than you. Healthy arrogance walks in a room
• 11:47
  Speaker 18: and says, okay, number one, I belong in this room. Right,
• 11:51
  Speaker 18: the most successful people feel that they don't feel like
• 11:54
  Speaker 18: am I supposed to be here with all these important people.
• 11:56
  Speaker 18: Healthy arrogance feels like I'm supposed to be here. However,
• 11:59
  Speaker 18: I also have something.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: To add to this room.
• 12:02
  Speaker 18: This room is better because I'm in it, and I'm
• 12:04
  Speaker 18: going to get other people to understand how they and
• 12:08
  Speaker 18: I have a commonality in terms of our goal. If
• 12:11
  Speaker 18: you can get other people to see the value in
• 12:12
  Speaker 18: what you're going after, then you can then get them
• 12:16
  Speaker 18: to row in the same direction as you.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: And work towards your own goal. That's what leadership is.
• 12:20
  Speaker 18: Getting other people to realize that it's not me against you.
• 12:24
  Speaker 18: If I can get you to understand that together we
• 12:27
  Speaker 18: both benefit from working together and accomplishing things that are
• 12:31
  Speaker 18: my goals as well as your goals, your chance for
• 12:33
  Speaker 18: success is increased.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: You know, when I read about.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: You talk about healthy arrogance or hear your interview is
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: about healthy ar against it feels like you're saying you
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: just got It's like a sense of worthiness, it's value.
• 12:44
  Speaker 18: It is it is very much understanding the value to
• 12:47
  Speaker 18: place on yourself.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 12:48
  Speaker 18: You understand, Charlotte Man, because you talk about mental health
• 12:50
  Speaker 18: a lot we all have this drum beat in our head, right,
• 12:53
  Speaker 18: it can be a negative drum beat of I'm not ready,
• 12:55
  Speaker 18: I'm not worthy, I don't have the skills, I'm not prepared.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: More and more you tell yourself that, the louder those
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: voices get.
• 13:01
  Speaker 18: But there's a confidence muscle that you can build, that
• 13:04
  Speaker 18: you can grow by telling yourself the exact opposite, that
• 13:07
  Speaker 18: I am worth it, right, that I am prepared.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: But it's really about assigning value.
• 13:11
  Speaker 18: The thing I say to people that understand, from the
• 13:13
  Speaker 18: time you are born and to the time you leave
• 13:16
  Speaker 18: this earth, you are building your brand everything you do, right.
• 13:20
  Speaker 18: I mean, you can't make mistakes. Everybody does. But every
• 13:23
  Speaker 18: decision you make in everything you do is building your brand,
• 13:25
  Speaker 18: and it is telling people what value to assign to you.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Whether that's somebody that is looking to.
• 13:31
  Speaker 18: Invest in you, looking to date you, looking to just
• 13:33
  Speaker 18: hang out with you, you are telling them what your
• 13:37
  Speaker 18: value is. And you have to be healthily arrogant in
• 13:41
  Speaker 18: the way that you force other people to recognize your value.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Damn.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: So if you don't have nobody, does that mean you
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: know worth nothing?
• 13:49
  Speaker 18: Well, you know I'm not gonna say that. Well, you
• 13:51
  Speaker 18: mean like a relationship. Well, that just means that you
• 13:54
  Speaker 18: have to be sure that you're surrounding yourself with people
• 13:57
  Speaker 18: that understand your value. It might mean that you're worth
• 14:00
  Speaker 18: more than people want to give you credit for talking about.
• 14:03
  Speaker 18: It might mean you're single because other people don't recognize
• 14:07
  Speaker 18: your value and you're not willing to compromise for you.
• 14:09
  Speaker 16: Had something to satte?
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: What dog will won't they next?
• 14:21
  Speaker 16: Coming this way?
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: The sassiness caught me off. God, is that what it is?
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Are you with your hair back?
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: I'm just asking you a question because I like what
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: you're talking about.
• 14:33
  Speaker 18: Okay, all right, well yes, absolutely so if some you know,
• 14:36
  Speaker 18: somebody happens to be an amazing, beautiful single sister. I
• 14:39
  Speaker 18: don't know you know the relationship status of everybody here,
• 14:42
  Speaker 18: but let's just say present company. Why Well, and she
• 14:48
  Speaker 18: said you had a sassy next, so she is. She
• 14:51
  Speaker 18: is immediately the most entertaining.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Person that.
• 14:54
  Speaker 17: I want to ask you about imposter syndrome and when
• 14:57
  Speaker 17: you when did that? Like, when you get past that?
• 15:00
  Speaker 17: Did you deal with that at all yourself?
• 15:01
  Speaker 18: I absolutely deal with everybody deals with Everybody gets to
• 15:05
  Speaker 18: a point where they feel.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Like, yo, do I belong?
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 15:08
  Speaker 18: Do I deserve to be in the most important spaces,
• 15:12
  Speaker 18: and I've been very, very fortunate to be in some
• 15:14
  Speaker 18: incredible rooms with some people that are, you know, some
• 15:16
  Speaker 18: of the most powerful people from around the world. As
• 15:19
  Speaker 18: I said, what I realize is that when I walk
• 15:21
  Speaker 18: in those rooms, I cannot question if I'm supposed to
• 15:24
  Speaker 18: be there. I need to realize what is it that
• 15:27
  Speaker 18: I have that nobody else in this room has, and.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: How can I double down on that?
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 15:34
  Speaker 18: So, black man, African American film, American Hollywood, not a
• 15:37
  Speaker 18: lot of folks at my level in the rooms that
• 15:39
  Speaker 18: I'm in.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Oftentimes it's all white people in those films.
• 15:42
  Speaker 18: What I choose to do instead of saying, Okay, I'm
• 15:46
  Speaker 18: the only black person in this room. I know they're racist.
• 15:49
  Speaker 18: I know they looking at me a certain way. I
• 15:50
  Speaker 18: know they have a negative perception. I'm walking in the
• 15:52
  Speaker 18: room and I'm thinking, Okay, you know what, I'm bringing
• 15:54
  Speaker 18: something that nobody else can bring. When I talk about
• 15:57
  Speaker 18: my perspective, when I talk about my audience, when I
• 15:59
  Speaker 18: talk about my commune, nobody else can debate me on
• 16:01
  Speaker 18: that because I'm the only one with that lived experience,
• 16:04
  Speaker 18: whatever it is in the rooms and the circles that
• 16:07
  Speaker 18: you're in. What's the unique thing that you have, and
• 16:09
  Speaker 18: then you triple down on that that will help with
• 16:11
  Speaker 18: that imposter syndrome. The other thing is that you have
• 16:13
  Speaker 18: to understand like you don't have to be somebody that's
• 16:16
  Speaker 18: just born with like an overabundance of confidence.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: It's something that you can build.
• 16:20
  Speaker 18: But you do have to build it by putting a
• 16:23
  Speaker 18: success with a success with a success, right, Like just
• 16:26
  Speaker 18: like a boum Deg said, check with a check, with
• 16:28
  Speaker 18: a check, you got to build the successes. And sometimes
• 16:31
  Speaker 18: to do that you got to come back and not say, Okay,
• 16:35
  Speaker 18: my first success has to be so big, right, just
• 16:37
  Speaker 18: accomplish something.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I call it fabricating momental.
• 16:40
  Speaker 18: I believe that sometimes we get stuck on the first rum,
• 16:44
  Speaker 18: the very first thing I'm trying to get started. I
• 16:46
  Speaker 18: don't have any money, I don't know people, don't have
• 16:48
  Speaker 18: a network. That's okay, right, Don't make the first thing
• 16:50
  Speaker 18: you're trying to do to climb the mountain, right, that's
• 16:54
  Speaker 18: a lot.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: That's a momentous task.
• 16:56
  Speaker 18: Make the first thing by the shoes, hike and boost,
• 16:58
  Speaker 18: then buy a rope, then drive and.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Look at it.
• 17:01
  Speaker 18: Well, you know you've done three things right, get started.
• 17:04
  Speaker 18: Do something that helps to build that confidence.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: We all need that. We got more with Will Packer
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: when we come back.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: His new book, Who Better Than You, The Art of
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Healthy Arrogance and Dreaming Big is out now.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Is the Breakfast Club Good Morning, the Breakfast Club.
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: Morning.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Everybody is dej envy just hilarious, Charlamagne the God we
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: are the Breakfast Club Lone the Roaster's head with us
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: as well. We're still kicking it with Will Packers new book,
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Who Better Than You, The Art of Healthy Arrogance and
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Dreaming Big, is out now, Charlamagne.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I want to get to the audit the pivot, but
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: first I want to ask you about the chapter that says,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: seeing your laney, Yeah, just just make it wide, lean
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: into your thing?
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: Yes?
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: How does one avoid being typecasted by leaning into their thing?
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: And when?
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: Do you know?
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: The pivot?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it.
• 17:49
  Speaker 18: The whole point of that chapter is about when you
• 17:52
  Speaker 18: have something that you do really, really well, because many
• 17:55
  Speaker 18: times people are afraid of being locked into something that
• 17:59
  Speaker 18: people will think, that's all I can do, right, But
• 18:01
  Speaker 18: if you do that thing, and you do it really
• 18:03
  Speaker 18: really well, do not stop.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, don't stop.
• 18:07
  Speaker 18: The most successful people have a thing that they do
• 18:10
  Speaker 18: and they do it well. Then they use the ability
• 18:13
  Speaker 18: to be successful in a lane to go out and
• 18:16
  Speaker 18: do something else. I'm only able to write this book
• 18:18
  Speaker 18: with a major publisher because I've been very successful in
• 18:21
  Speaker 18: a particular media.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Right now, I'm able to go and do other things.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: So don't worry about that. Oh well, I can do
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: so much other stuff. What's the thing you do really well?
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Do that?
• 18:29
  Speaker 18: Triple down on that. Be the best person in that
• 18:32
  Speaker 18: particular field. And by the way, find your passion within that.
• 18:37
  Speaker 18: Right too many times people are telling me, well, I'm
• 18:39
  Speaker 18: not passionate about something. I gotta wait to find my
• 18:42
  Speaker 18: passion and before I go out and work really hard.
• 18:45
  Speaker 18: And I'm telling you, you're building your brand from day one.
• 18:48
  Speaker 18: Work hard today. I didn't have a passion to be
• 18:50
  Speaker 18: a filmmaker. I will admit that, but I did not.
• 18:53
  Speaker 18: That was not my dream growing up. But I found
• 18:56
  Speaker 18: that I was really good at knowing how to hire
• 18:59
  Speaker 18: actors and raise money and self distribute. And then I
• 19:02
  Speaker 18: found the passion in storytelling later, so I found the
• 19:06
  Speaker 18: thing I was really really good at, and then I
• 19:08
  Speaker 18: found my passion within it. I encourage people to do
• 19:11
  Speaker 18: that and worry about being type passed.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Stay in your lane, but you can make it. Why.
• 19:15
  Speaker 18: I'm not trying to pigeonhole you, and I'm not trying
• 19:17
  Speaker 18: to limit what you can do, but stay in your lane.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Too often we are trying to do.
• 19:22
  Speaker 18: Too much, and now you can't be the person that's
• 19:25
  Speaker 18: doing everything the best.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: That is just not how humans work. What's the thing
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: you do well? Triple down on that.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: So once you've leaned into your thing and you find
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: that thing, there's never a pivot from that thing.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: It can be a pivot where you use that thing.
• 19:39
  Speaker 18: You use your ability, you use your brand, You use
• 19:42
  Speaker 18: the fact that you have got credibility in a particular space.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: You have done the exact same thing.
• 19:46
  Speaker 18: You use the fact that you have credibility in one
• 19:49
  Speaker 18: lane in order to then expand your lane. Right, But
• 19:53
  Speaker 18: it should still all be about this is the thing
• 19:55
  Speaker 18: that I do. That's why I say stay in your lane,
• 19:57
  Speaker 18: but make your lane.
• 19:58
  Speaker 17: Why is there ever a time where like you're because
• 20:02
  Speaker 17: I mean, I remember when you told the story about
• 20:04
  Speaker 17: Kevin and with the last time you guys were here. Yeah,
• 20:06
  Speaker 17: and now I'm seeing in context of this book of
• 20:08
  Speaker 17: like who better than you? And I feel like in
• 20:10
  Speaker 17: that moment he had the arrogance to be like, I
• 20:13
  Speaker 17: can do both of these. I'm going to be fine
• 20:14
  Speaker 17: and it's all going to work out. But things like
• 20:16
  Speaker 17: that can kind of get pretty tricky because what if
• 20:18
  Speaker 17: it hadn't have worked out? Is there ever a moment
• 20:20
  Speaker 17: where you have to tell somebody who's coming to you
• 20:21
  Speaker 17: for this type of who better than you?
• 20:22
  Speaker 16: Advice?
• 20:23
  Speaker 17: Like, maybe this is not it for you right now,
• 20:26
  Speaker 17: maybe there's someone better than you right now, but that
• 20:27
  Speaker 17: doesn't mean later you might not be able to have
• 20:29
  Speaker 17: that who better than you?
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Eric, you have to be honest with yourself number one.
• 20:33
  Speaker 18: Right, We live in a world where people think either
• 20:37
  Speaker 18: they are too great or they are too awful. Rodger
• 20:41
  Speaker 18: Kipling has a poem called if, and my favorite stanza
• 20:45
  Speaker 18: in that poem is if you can meet with triumph
• 20:48
  Speaker 18: and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same.
• 20:52
  Speaker 18: That is saying that both triumph and disaster are impostors,
• 20:57
  Speaker 18: neither of them are real.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 20:59
  Speaker 18: Too many times, because we post some on social media,
• 21:01
  Speaker 18: everybody tell you, oh my god, you're the greatest thing ever,
• 21:04
  Speaker 18: so good or the opposite.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: They just hate No, you're telling you how oftful you are.
• 21:07
  Speaker 18: Neither of that is true. You gotta stay even keelled.
• 21:10
  Speaker 18: So the first thing you gotta do is be honest
• 21:12
  Speaker 18: about you and your skill set. It's the only way
• 21:15
  Speaker 18: you're gonna get better. Don't worry about external factors. You
• 21:17
  Speaker 18: got to have a very honest conversation. One of the
• 21:19
  Speaker 18: things I talk about in the book is how we
• 21:22
  Speaker 18: have to make sure I'm a daily affirmation type of person.
• 21:25
  Speaker 18: You're there encouraging yourself right, giving yourself positivity, telling yourself
• 21:30
  Speaker 18: how you're ready, how you prepared, what you can do,
• 21:32
  Speaker 18: but also being very very honest with yourself. I don't
• 21:35
  Speaker 18: care what you tell the world. A lot of yourself,
• 21:37
  Speaker 18: a lot of your mom, a lot of your cousin,
• 21:38
  Speaker 18: lot of your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife. Do not lie
• 21:41
  Speaker 18: to yourself. Be very very clear about what it is
• 21:44
  Speaker 18: that you do.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you know, I want to talk you about
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the Packer family model too.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: If you want to have what others, won't you have
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: to do with others don't?
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, so you got your.
• 21:53
  Speaker 18: Mom with you again her, I got moms, I got
• 21:56
  Speaker 18: you know what, It's something that mom instilled in me.
• 21:59
  Speaker 18: You know, when I was growing up, Mom and dad
• 22:01
  Speaker 18: they took me like you know, like simbing the lion
• 22:03
  Speaker 18: king and lifting me up and said, you know, whatever
• 22:05
  Speaker 18: the son touches is your son. Like I encourage my
• 22:08
  Speaker 18: folks with kids, do that. Tell your kids because that's
• 22:11
  Speaker 18: when they're the most impressiable. Tell them they can do anything.
• 22:14
  Speaker 18: They told me that, and so I was very audacious
• 22:16
  Speaker 18: growing up with my family. It's me, my wife. We
• 22:19
  Speaker 18: have four children, So that's the six pack. If you
• 22:21
  Speaker 18: want to have what others don't, you have to be
• 22:23
  Speaker 18: willing to do what others won't.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Period.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: That is the mantra.
• 22:27
  Speaker 18: The mantra is that understand whatever it is that you
• 22:30
  Speaker 18: want to do, if anybody else can do it, then
• 22:33
  Speaker 18: it's not special.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna get it right. You're not gonna get
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: something that's unique.
• 22:37
  Speaker 18: You gotta be willing to do what others are not
• 22:40
  Speaker 18: to get that thing. And I believe that the more
• 22:44
  Speaker 18: you do hard things, the better.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: You become at hard things.
• 22:48
  Speaker 18: The more hard things you do, the easier hard things become.
• 22:53
  Speaker 18: So don't run from doing hard things. Don't run from
• 22:56
  Speaker 18: doing the things that everybody else says it's crazy. That's
• 22:59
  Speaker 18: the only way you gonna get strength and to build
• 23:01
  Speaker 18: that muscle. It's by doing those hard things. Why I
• 23:04
  Speaker 18: say dream big because your dream has got to be
• 23:06
  Speaker 18: so big, because there's gonna be challenges along the way.
• 23:08
  Speaker 18: It's gotta be so big that it pushes you past
• 23:10
  Speaker 18: those challenges inevitably. Because if the dream is just a
• 23:13
  Speaker 18: mediocre dream, like man, it'd be kind of cool to
• 23:14
  Speaker 18: do that. Then when you run into a speed bump
• 23:17
  Speaker 18: and that's really hard, you're gonna say, you know what,
• 23:18
  Speaker 18: it ain't worth it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I'm cool, right, But if the dream is so big, right,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 23:23
  Speaker 18: So big for color for h four khd, like super crazy,
• 23:29
  Speaker 18: beyond your wireless dreams big, then when you do hit
• 23:32
  Speaker 18: that hard moment, those challenges, you know it's worth it
• 23:36
  Speaker 18: to keep going and keep fighting because the dream.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Is big enough.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Is Will Packer allowed to turn his own book into
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: a movie?
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Limited seriously?
• 23:44
  Speaker 18: Yeah yeah, I mean it's some Will Packers. You know
• 23:47
  Speaker 18: what I think about doing it?
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: I could do that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 16: I saw Heather in the background this day.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: You know what head to say in the background. I
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 23:52
  Speaker 17: I just saw something I was given a lean like
• 23:55
  Speaker 17: maybe no, don't do it right now or something.
• 23:58
  Speaker 18: You know what, I've made this book not to turn
• 24:00
  Speaker 18: into a movie or a TV show. You never say never,
• 24:03
  Speaker 18: because you know one of my biggest movies is Think
• 24:05
  Speaker 18: Like a Man. Steve Harvey will tell you he never
• 24:07
  Speaker 18: thought of that as a move never. He never wrote
• 24:09
  Speaker 18: it for that. I wrote this to give the master
• 24:13
  Speaker 18: mentorship that I didn't have. I have people coming to
• 24:16
  Speaker 18: me a lot and saying, tell me about your success story,
• 24:19
  Speaker 18: tell me about your failures, tell me about what you
• 24:21
  Speaker 18: had to overcome. And so when I tell these stories,
• 24:25
  Speaker 18: right and I talk about you know, Beyonce turning me
• 24:28
  Speaker 18: down five times, or I Yourselba, you know, almost not
• 24:31
  Speaker 18: walking the carpet at the first Emmy's and how you
• 24:33
  Speaker 18: get past that? Like, when I tell these stories, I'm
• 24:36
  Speaker 18: doing that so that other people can benefit from it.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: So I could turn into a movie. That's not what
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I made it for.
• 24:41
  Speaker 18: I literally made this book so that I could influence
• 24:45
  Speaker 18: other folks who are either on their way up, thinking
• 24:48
  Speaker 18: about making a pivot or living a life that they
• 24:51
  Speaker 18: know could be a little more fulfilling.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Well, we appreciate you for joining us.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Well pack a new book.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Who better than you to all the healthy arrogance and
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: dreaming big out right now. Always a pleasure to see
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: you go out there and buy this book making the.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: New York Times bestseller.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Missisiate you found. I appreciate you, Man, thank you, Thank
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: you all for having me.
• 25:06
  Speaker 18: Charlotte Mann, and thank you because you're somebody that you know.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: And I told you this.
• 25:10
  Speaker 18: We saw each other at the Democrat National Convention and
• 25:12
  Speaker 18: I told you I had written my first book, and
• 25:15
  Speaker 18: I was inspired by your books and by reading your
• 25:18
  Speaker 18: books and just seeing that process and the grind that
• 25:20
  Speaker 18: you put in. So you never know who's watching and
• 25:23
  Speaker 18: who you're inspiring. So thank you, my brother, thank you
• 25:25
  Speaker 18: for having me.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: It's Will Packer. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, you're
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: checking out the Breakfast Club Morning.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Everybody's DJ Envy, Jesse, Larus, Charlamaine the God. We are
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: the Breakfast Club Lawn La Rosa. It's here and we
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: got a special guest in the building. David o' yellowwoe
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: was here.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Did say it?
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: Did you did? Okay?
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: I had to ask you beforehand.
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: You know, I appreciate that you did.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I see it all the time, but I'm like,
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: I don't want to hack it when I try to.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: Say it now, everyone everyone does, but you mailed that.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: How are you, sir?
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: Very good? Very good. It's great to be here.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Absolutely so.
• 25:57
  Speaker 17: You got a government cheese happening right now Apple TV?
• 26:00
  Speaker 17: Yeah so and watching this but also some of the
• 26:03
  Speaker 17: other things that I've seen you play in. Can you
• 26:04
  Speaker 17: just first talk about your career and like the roles
• 26:08
  Speaker 17: that you select, all of the roles that I know
• 26:10
  Speaker 17: you for are very powerful, very like you tell stories
• 26:14
  Speaker 17: that are like so important to black people coming out
• 26:17
  Speaker 17: the gate you are. Is that something you were like, Hey,
• 26:19
  Speaker 17: this has to be it for me, this is what
• 26:21
  Speaker 17: I want to do. Or did you just fall into
• 26:23
  Speaker 17: these roles because like, how did it happen?
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: No, thank you for saying that. It's very intentional. You know.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: I was incredibly influenced by film and television growing up,
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: and I was aware quite early that the images I
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: was taking in were in some ways informing me of
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: what blackness means globally speaking. And then I had this
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: incredible moment where, having been born and grown up in
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: the UK, we moved back to Nigeria for six years.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: We made you six to thirteen, and I was suddenly
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: in a country, in an environment where I was not
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: a minority, everything on offer in that society was mine
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: for the taking. And I realized that these images that
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: I was internalizing that often had Black people on the
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: periphery or playing what I deemed to be caricatures or stereotypes,
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: were insidious, were detrimental to us as a people. And so,
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: having moved back to the UK becoming an actor, I
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: felt that if I'm not part of the solution, I'm
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: part of the problem. And so I've definitely gravitated towards
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: roles and projects that mean that I am trying to
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: change what I saw growing up. I'm trying to widen
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: the aperture and contextualize who and what we are as
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: black people.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: That's interesting, I wonder, how did you know that you
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: know they were characters and stereotypes if you've never if
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: you had mental America to see.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: For yourself, Because I was living in communities where black
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: people were central to their own lives, and I knew
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: that what I was saying, because it wasn't just America,
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: it was in the UK as well. You know, if
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: if every time you see a black person, they are
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: on the periphery of the narrative if so often they
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: are criminalized or marginalized. That was not my experience walking
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: through the earth, and so I felt that's intentional, that's political,
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: that's propaganda in a sense, and it's having a detrimental
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: effect on me because there is a disconnect between my
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: lived experience and what I'm internalizing on screen. So that's
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: how I knew it was something to become batter. You know.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: It's so interesting, right, because I have that conversation often
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: because you know, when you watch film in television in
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the nineties, if everything had some type of socially redeeming value, right,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And I always wonder what
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: the hell happened to it? It felt like it was intentional. Yeah,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: put him to stop showing us that and start giving
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: us like the reality television.
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I can tell you exactly what happened. So often,
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: why you got you had the those films that were
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: bringing context to who we are as black people is
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: because it was largely being framed and made by a
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: black people. What has happened a lot is that our stories,
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: we craft them, we developed them. But at some point
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: you've got to take it to people who have green
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: light power who are not from our demographic and so
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: therefore you're having to push who we are through their
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: perception of who we are, and it almost always gets eroded,
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: watered down, or marginalized. And that's what's happening for some
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: reason in the nineties that there were there were producers,
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: there were creatives, there were directors who were just doing
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: it all themselves, and it was getting celebrated and it
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: was less watered down, and that's why I think we
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: had that golden era.
• 29:45
  Speaker 16: Is it ever heavy for you?
• 29:46
  Speaker 17: Because I remember watching you in the story about doctor
• 29:49
  Speaker 17: Martin Luther King and yeah, in like, I know there's
• 29:53
  Speaker 17: a lot because you also have done theater. Yeah, you're
• 29:56
  Speaker 17: very serious about what you do, so I know that
• 29:58
  Speaker 17: there's a lot of study and deep study and certain
• 30:00
  Speaker 17: things of that nature. So you're probably doing that for
• 30:02
  Speaker 17: every single role. And there's a lot of like just
• 30:04
  Speaker 17: trauma that you take on differently because you get so
• 30:06
  Speaker 17: close to your characters. How does that stick with you,
• 30:09
  Speaker 17: like in that pressure from outside world too, of like
• 30:12
  Speaker 17: these are characters and people that you know have shaped
• 30:13
  Speaker 17: our world.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I try to stay away from the
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: trauma component. What I mostly gravitate towards are aspirational representations
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: of us. So in playing Dr King, the gift for
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: me was to see a leader, to see someone who
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: was an icon, but who was a human being as well.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: And I'm interested in stories where we get to be triumphant,
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: where we get to be someone you would aspire to be,
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: no matter what demographic of person you are. More often
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: than not, when you see black people in a historical context,
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: we are browbeaten, we're broken down, and often we don't
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: We're not allowed to ascend. You won't catch me in
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: that narrative. For me personally, we have got to for
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: me be on an upward trajectory in whatever we do,
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: so it's less traumatic, it's more celebratory of who we
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: are without shying away from the challenges we face.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they never want to show you the slave revolting.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: Right right, exactly exactly. And for me, you know, that's
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: why I resist slave narratives because it's very hard to
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: find the triumphant in that. The closest I came to
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: that was playing bass Reefs. In that this show Lowman
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: bass Reefs, he starts enslaved. But the great thing about
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: being a producer is that you can ensure or be
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: a voice in where the narrative goes. I would not
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: have taken that on if he didn't go from enslavement
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: to empowerment. Staying in enslavement is not something that I
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: want to project to our people, because there are people
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: who enjoy that narrative as a means of keeping us down.
• 31:54
  Speaker 17: You said something interesting, you said it being a producer
• 31:56
  Speaker 17: you get to kind of like, you know, help to
• 31:57
  Speaker 17: figure out where the character development goes and stuff like that.
• 32:00
  Speaker 17: What part of your career did that become an option
• 32:03
  Speaker 17: for you, because not all actors have the ability to
• 32:05
  Speaker 17: be on a set and say, hey, I think that
• 32:07
  Speaker 17: we should change this or in power differently because of
• 32:09
  Speaker 17: how my people will see this. When did that happen
• 32:11
  Speaker 17: first in your career?
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: It happened by accident. It was on Selma. I got
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: the script just as an actor in two thousand and seven,
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: felt a real calling to play that role. But I
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: auditioned for it and the first director said, David o'yelowo
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: is not Doctor King. That was literally the feedback, And
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: it took another seven years before the film came to fruition.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: But What I could never had anticipated was that I
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: would go from being an actor who was rejected initially
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: to three directors later because they just kept on not
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: wanting to make that movie because black doesn't travel, the
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: audience is not going to gravitate towards it. Whatever the
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: excuses are they say that, well they did, Oh yeah,
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: I mean yeah, you think this is a film about
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: King Ala Perry.
• 33:01
  Speaker 16: Because they said that.
• 33:02
  Speaker 17: They told Tyler Perry black people would in lead the
• 33:04
  Speaker 17: theater to go to the movies.
• 33:05
  Speaker 16: They don't travel beyond.
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: So he met global you meant every global box office
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: right globally, but here as well. That the narrative was
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: black people don't want to see black struggle, White people
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: don't want to feel white guilt and things like that.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: But you know, it wasn't until twenty ten. Lee Daniels
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: actually came along and was the one who actually cast
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: me in it. Still couldn't get the film made. In
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: the meantime, I did a small film with Ava Duvene
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: called Middle of Nowhere, small two hundred thousand dollars movie,
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: and I felt she is a genius. Lee had moved
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: on from the project because they wouldn't give him enough
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: money to make it, and I went in and fought
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: very hard for Ava to be the one to direct it.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: She rewrote the script. It was brilliant rewrite of the script.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: Still couldn't get it made. I'd done the Butler with
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: Oprah at that time. I invited Oprah on to be
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: a producer on the film. Twelve Years a Slave came
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: out and had done well, which had broken down this
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: notion of our stories not traveling. And so the aggregation
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: of all of those things is what went on to
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: mean Selma got made well. I didn't realize I was
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: doing by bringing on Ava, bringing on Oprah, fighting daily
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: to try and get the thing made, was producing and
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: so I thought, oh, okay, well I can do that
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: again for the things that I believe in and I'm
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: passionate about. And so you know, that was ten eleven
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: years ago now and I haven't still upset Hi.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: We have more with David o' yellowoe when we come back.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody. It's theej
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Envy Jesse, hilarious, Charlamagne de God. We are the Breakfast Club.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: Laur La Ross here as well. We're still kicking it
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: with David o' yellowol, Lauren.
• 34:40
  Speaker 16: I want to talk about government Cheese.
• 34:42
  Speaker 17: So the name itself of the series, let's talk about
• 34:44
  Speaker 17: that first, because it's referring to the government Cheese program,
• 34:47
  Speaker 17: which is a kind of like an overarching conversation that
• 34:51
  Speaker 17: you guys have throughout the series without really.
• 34:53
  Speaker 16: Having it all the way.
• 34:54
  Speaker 17: Yeah, So talk about the you know, just the choice
• 34:57
  Speaker 17: of title with that, and you know what, you hope
• 34:59
  Speaker 17: the hope is that people get just from looking at
• 35:01
  Speaker 17: the title before they even see it.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, government cheese for us was symbolic of
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: what we tend to do as black people. You know,
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: necessity being the mother of invention. We will take nothing
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: and make it into something. And government cheese, as people
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: may know, as government subsidized food. There was powdered eggs,
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: there was powdered milk as well, and with government cheese
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: in particular. You talk to people even now they have this,
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: you know, they go into this place in their heads
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: when they think about those grilled cheese, sandwichees or the
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: mac and cheese, and they talk about it incredibly fondly
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: because it was, you know, a not particularly nutritious food
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: that people made into a delicacy. And what you have
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: with the Chambers family is that they are this black
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: family in the valley in the sixties, making something out
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: of nothing. This guy starts the show incarcerated, has this
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: epiphany about making a self sharpening drill. It's going to
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: be the means by which his family comes out of
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: the challenging situations they're in. So it's aspirational. You have
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: the character that similar Mysic plays. He's a receptionist, but
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: she wants to be an interior designer. You have our
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: son who's aspiring to be a pole vaulter. You have
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: this other son of ours who you know is completely
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: obsessed with Native American culture. Everyone is looking beyond where
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: they are from an aspirational point of view, and in
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: many ways, government cheese is sort of symbolic that.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: What's the equivalent of government cheese in the UK? I
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: don't as a British Man, did you understand what that was?
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: Yes, I mean we don't have exactly the same thing,
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: but I remember, you know, you got bottles of milk
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: that everyone got, you know, that would get dropped at
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: your house every every morning, and that was something that
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: was across the nation. Super rich people were not getting
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: that necessarily, but it was you know, lower income family.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: So that's the closest that we got in terms of
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: that situation. But the thing I know from living in
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: the UK, living in Nigeria and Africa, living here is
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: that we're wherever you go. The resilience of black people
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: in terms of you know, making something out of nothing
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: is just something that feels pretty universal.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: You've had other roles that have highlighted black life from
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: the sixties. What about government Cheese felt different from other projects.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: This is the amount of joy on display and just
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: the relatability. I think. You know, our experience is very specific,
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: especially in the sixties as it pertains to civil rights
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: and black struggle. But you know, with this family, they
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: are dealing not only with economic challenges but marital challenges,
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: and they are raising kids and you know, just just
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: trying to make ends meet, and I think all of
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: those things are what make it fresh and familiar. At
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: the same time, you know, you've seen black people in
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: the sixties, but never quite like this, never quite in
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: this place, and never this family. You know, they're kind
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: of out there. But you know, I have a kids myself,
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: and you know, it's weird. It's not until you go
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: to a restaurant and you see people looking you funny
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: and you realize how weird and quirking your own family
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: is because you're just being super loud and people are
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: king into your conversation. So I think we're probably all
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: a bit more quirky and with than we can to admit.
• 38:17
  Speaker 17: Well, this series is definitely a lot more like light
• 38:20
  Speaker 17: and fun and you know, even though it takes on
• 38:22
  Speaker 17: like some serious undertones. But I was reading this article
• 38:24
  Speaker 17: that you did with a mental magazine. Yeah, and you
• 38:26
  Speaker 17: were talking about going out into Wyoming on a ranch
• 38:29
  Speaker 17: with your kids.
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
• 38:30
  Speaker 17: When I saw the article, I was like, this is
• 38:32
  Speaker 17: like a random interview for him to have right now.
• 38:35
  Speaker 17: And then I was reading and I was like, I
• 38:36
  Speaker 17: get it because you put yourself in a light of
• 38:39
  Speaker 17: like a person who has had to learn again to
• 38:41
  Speaker 17: just like relax and just be fun and just be
• 38:44
  Speaker 17: a person. Because you know, you're studying your acting, you're working.
• 38:47
  Speaker 17: Then there's clauses where you can't go out and do
• 38:49
  Speaker 17: stuff like that, which makes a lot of sense. Yeah,
• 38:51
  Speaker 17: but those moments with your kids where you're just they're
• 38:53
  Speaker 17: seeing you as like a human or it's like Dad
• 38:56
  Speaker 17: is fun, Dad can do these things. How does that
• 38:58
  Speaker 17: reignite you when you get back on these sets, you know,
• 39:01
  Speaker 17: and you take on these characters like the one in
• 39:03
  Speaker 17: a government cheese.
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: I'm so glad you brought that up, because you know,
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: everything I'm saying is hard work. You know, when I
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: make a show, probably in the past, to an unhealthy degree,
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: I feel like it's a political act. I feel like
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: it's not just about me going to work and taking
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: on a story, bringing my people with me. And you
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: could argue that there are elements of that that are unhealthy.
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: And so to smell the roses while you're on the journey,
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: to continue to intentionally enjoy your family, enjoy your marriage,
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: enjoy your home has been something that I've tried to
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: afford myself more and more as I've got deeper into
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: my career, especially as there are now more wins on
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: the board. You know, there are really significant things I've
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: done that are absolutely in line with what I set
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: out to do, and the temptation is to just be, Okay,
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: what's next, what's next, what's next? And you know, I
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: have four kids, three boys and a girl. I have
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: a wife, I deeply love, and you know that is
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: just as important. And a life well lived is not
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: really about what you did. It's how you made people
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: feel and the things that well, there you go, and
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: you're right, And I want the people closest to me
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: to feel like I was present, to feel like I
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: didn't just say I loved them, but my actions demonstrated
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: that as well. And I think that's time. That's just
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: constantly demonstrating to the people you love that you value
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: being in their presence. And so that is that. That's
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: I'm working on it. I'm not going to tell you that,
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm all the way there, but that's definitely
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: an intention I'm trying to bring more into my life.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Is that what you meant when you said in the
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: article that you came back a different dad?
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: I came back a different Wow. You guys really do
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: your research. You really read that audience.
• 40:59
  Speaker 17: Whoever was that pitch that that was so smart because
• 41:01
  Speaker 17: in looking at you up everything Okay, okay.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: I didn't even know she pitched it.
• 41:05
  Speaker 16: Yeah, well you don't just end up in mental magazine.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Oh I thought.
• 41:11
  Speaker 17: I would have ran it up too, But you know,
• 41:13
  Speaker 17: when I saw that, I was like it was so genius,
• 41:15
  Speaker 17: because I think your reputation as an actor is so
• 41:18
  Speaker 17: like it. It's very like stern and you know, silent
• 41:22
  Speaker 17: and serious. And then I said this article about you
• 41:25
  Speaker 17: doing all this stuff with my oomen with your kids,
• 41:27
  Speaker 17: I'm like, wait, hold on, what you'd be having fun?
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: So it made me That's what I guess.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when you said you came back a different dad,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: I guess you just realized, like, I can't just be
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: so much into my work.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: I still got to be Pops.
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: But but also, you know, I was a really rambunctious kid.
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: I would throw myself all over the place. I was
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: one of three boys. And then I had my own
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: kids and I got super like wrapping them in cotton wool,
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: like careful, careful, don't do that, you know. And then
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: we went on this trip well horse riding and the
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: ATVing and where you're shooting arrows and bike riding, and
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: I just really just let myself go, probably a bit
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: too much because I went flying over the handlebars of
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: the ATV at one point. But you know, I do
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: that when I'm playing a role because it's like throw
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: yourself into the role, do whatever the role requires. But
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: for my kids to see me having fun in that
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: way was an eye opener for them. And I came
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: back differently because I was like, you know what, I
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: am almost playing a role for my kids in order
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: for them to be safe, but they also need to
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: see dad letting loose and having fun, because then they'll
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: hopefully take the right kind of risks, not just you know,
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: careless risks. And it was a shift in the dynamic,
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: and it was something I actually didn't want to go on,
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: particularly my wife won it in a raffle, this trip
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: to this dude ranch and then sent us all out,
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: and you know, I'm so grateful that we did it,
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: and we've done so many more things like that since
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: then because it was hugely beneficial for our family.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: We have more with David o' yellowoe when we come back.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: It's the breakfast Club.
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: Come morning morning. Everybody is thej Envy, Jess Hilarrys, Charlamagne
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: the guy. We are the breakfast Club. Laurla Roles is
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: here as well. We're still kicking it with David o'
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: yellow old Charlomagne.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Did you have any reservations about playing MLK because you
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: are a British actor and you know, there's always that thing,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: oh why are all the British actors playing the roles
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: of American icons?
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: No, because of the way it came in. You know,
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: when I read the script in two thousand and seven,
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: I had never been thinking of myself as doctor King,
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: you know, but I'm a Christian. I was in a
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: time of praying and fasting and I felt, God, tell
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: me you are going to play this role. And then
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: the way it came about eventually, which is that, you know,
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: I can safely say pretty much no one worked as
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: hard to get that film made as I did, and
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: I would probably say no one else was quite as
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: influential in getting that film made, between bringing on Ava,
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: between bringing on Oprah, between all the the work done
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: behind the scenes to try and get the film made.
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: So for me, I just found it unacceptable that the
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: only American who had a holiday named after him in
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: the twentieth century, who happens to be a black man,
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: had not had a film made about him. Yet I
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: wasn't feeling like I have to be the one to
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: make it. But this was already fifty years after his assassination.
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: Why do we not have the movie? And I'm a
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: big believer in. If not me, then who, And so
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: I was never really thinking I'm British, it should be
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: someone else. And the reality is that when Lee Daniels
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: was casting for it, he met everyone I met. I
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: saw the list of some of the people he met.
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: I was like, Oh my lord, I cannot believe I'm
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: going up against my heroes. Who even dare think I'm
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: going to be the one to play this. But I
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: eventually got the role, and so for me it's a
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: question of Okay, now I've been given the opportunity, It's
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: less about whether or not I should play it. It's
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: more about how well do it. That is going to be,
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: at the end of the day, the thing that I
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: want people to judge. And so I never really thought
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: about it in that way, because at the end of
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: the day, I have no interest in playing myself on Spain.
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: I'm always going to be gravitating towards the most extreme
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: challenge in terms of playing someone who's not necessarily me.
• 45:17
  Speaker 17: Do you ever could you have your production companies Eoroba
• 45:20
  Speaker 17: Saxony ORBA Saxon. So I know that you and your
• 45:23
  Speaker 17: wife co run that production company, and I'm sure a
• 45:25
  Speaker 17: lot of the stories that you guys tell are very
• 45:27
  Speaker 17: close to the heart as far as like black stories,
• 45:29
  Speaker 17: just by your passion here, do you get backlash at
• 45:32
  Speaker 17: all because you're not married to a black woman doing that?
• 45:34
  Speaker 16: And how do you deal with that?
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: Ifsol not to my face, there are plenty of people
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: who feel some kind of way about that. But we
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: called it Yuba Saxon because you know, I'm from the
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: Yuroba tribe in Nigeria. She's Anglo Saxon, And so you know,
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: our company is a demonstration of the fact that we
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: are more alike than we are different as human beings
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: generally speaking. You know, in making government che yes, it's
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: a black family. But my hope and my bet is
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: that everyone is gonna see their family in that family
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: because of the relatable themes and components that we've woven
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: into it. And so you know, I'm incredibly proud of
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: my family. I fell in love with my wife when Gusha.
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: We met when we were teenagers. We got married when
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: she was twenty i was twenty two, and everything we
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: had we built together. So you know, for me, sometimes
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: the accusation, you know, in marrying a white woman is
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: you know, they'd say things like there's self loathing in there,
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: or what's the other one, or that she's a trophy
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: or something like that. We were so poor when we
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: started out, they couldn't be less trophy or if it tried.
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: But you know, I am an incredibly proud black man,
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: African Christian husband, father. There are so many things that
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: I am on top of my democrat thinking, who I'm
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: married to, and those are all reflected in the in
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: the work that iron we do.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: You and your wife should be thinking about producing a
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: biopic on a great man named doctor Umar Johnson. He's
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: an activist here an America scholar. Wow yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: to think about that, just look.
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: At it, look look into it, Listen to listen.
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: I'm going to keep he's about in trouble. Was that
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: about to become a mean? Just then about a mean?
• 47:30
  Speaker 16: There's a whole change.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Trust me, they'll love you for that withever role that
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: you will pitch that you morally said to yourself, I
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: can't do this.
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: Well, what tends to happen is the minute you play
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: a civil rights leader, you get every civil rights leader
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: who's ever lived. Uh, which so I definitely I definitely
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: said though to those the minute you play a groundbreaking character.
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: There's a whole genre called the first black man who.
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: You know, I get a lot of first black man who,
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: which I'm not.
• 48:01
  Speaker 16: What's the craziest thing you was, like you, I didn't
• 48:02
  Speaker 16: even know a black man, didn't it.
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: I want to say that there have been like windscreen wipers,
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: the guy who invented the paper clip, the guy who
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: like like it's it's it's ridiculous. It gets as ridiculous
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: as that, and people will come to you like full
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: of passion. The other one you want to really avoid
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: is when someone goes, man, I got this script.
• 48:22
  Speaker 11: It's by my dad, and he he the first person
• 48:25
  Speaker 11: who had a car wash in Alabama and all that
• 48:28
  Speaker 11: kind of stuff, and I just like, I don't know
• 48:31
  Speaker 11: how to tell you that.
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: That is not a movie.
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: I'm just I'm just so sorry, but that's not going
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: to be my next But I got your next project,
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: go in and Out.
• 48:43
  Speaker 16: It is crazy.
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: Because it happens a lot of a lot to me.
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: So so yeah, those are the ones to avoid as well.
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 48:52
  Speaker 17: Oh you mentioned so casually multiple times, Oprah, just.
• 48:57
  Speaker 16: Just very casually.
• 48:59
  Speaker 17: I read it the story about when you invited her
• 49:01
  Speaker 17: to Odello opening night, and she had to sit on
• 49:03
  Speaker 17: the hard benches and she never let you leave that down.
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: She just never stopped talking about child those benches. But
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: she came to Coriolanus, which I just did in London,
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: and they had cushionsy, yes, so you know we are
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: beyond the bad benches now, but yeah, and they were
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: very tough benches towards three hours of Shakespeare. So she
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: fair point. But I'm glad that we've broken the deadlock.
• 49:29
  Speaker 17: She show up a lot for you, though it sounds
• 49:31
  Speaker 17: like just in what I'm hearing you say, like what's
• 49:33
  Speaker 17: that relationship, and like, because you know, opraint coming out
• 49:35
  Speaker 17: the house for everybody, she is not.
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: She's not. Yeah, you know, we met doing The Butler together,
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: and I remember being stood at a party at Lee
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: Daniel's house that he was renting in New Orleans when
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: we were shooting that film, and it was at a
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: time when I just felt I felt very isolated. I
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: felt very alone. I'd moved here with my family, if
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: I'm totally honest, I felt like there were other actors
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: who saw me as a threat in a way that
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: confused me, because I was like, I'm just you know,
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: i'd come out of theater in the UK. It's an
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: environment where it's all about, you know, about the work
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: and working together and people who were like, you know
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: that coming here to take our jobs thing was a
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: real thing I was feeling. And I just remember still
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: being stood in a corner at this party and Oprah
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: came up to me and said, you're okay. I said,
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: you know what, you know, I'm really glad to have
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: gotten this movie. But it's just I don't know if
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: you've ever felt this, just like your own community is
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: is resisting you, which is what I'm feeling.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: She's the first, whatever you said earlier, the first ever.
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: I know, and so exactly your reaction there was her reaction.
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: She was like baby. And she talked about how Sidney
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: Poitier was the one who took her under his wing
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: and said, no, you're not crazy. This is a real thing.
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: It's something that is unfortunately part of ascending in our community.
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: And he mentored her and she literally said to me,
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: I am going to do for you what he did
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: for me. And she has never abated on that. You know,
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: Summer doesn't happen without her, My directorial debut doesn't acting
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: happen without her. So much of the advice, so much
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: of the financial literacy I have came from her because
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: I didn't come from means. My parents were not particularly
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: good business people, even though they had a business. And
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: so yeah, she has really really made good on that
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: promise and it's been absolutely life changing.
• 51:39

• 52:22
  Speaker 1: to Ashley Cross. Ashley is a thirty seven year old
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: African American woman from Memphis, Tennessee. Okay, salute everyone who
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: listens to us on K ninety seven in Memphis.
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: Now, I'm sure that you all are aware by now.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of companies that rolled back their diversity
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: equity and including initiatives. One of those companies is Walmart. Now,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: if you read my first book, Black Privilege, and you
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: know that joy Walmart brought me as a child, because
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: when you grow up in the country, like I did,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: salute the monks corner South Carolina, drop on the clues,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: bumps form most corner South Carolina. When you grow up
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: in the country or rural area, the twenty five hour
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Walmart is everything. Okay, that's what we would go late
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: at night because there was nothing else to do. Yes,
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: the good old days, walking the holy grounds of Walmart.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: This was way back in the day when the only
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: thing they were rolling back is prices. But a lot
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: of people have called for a boycott at these companies,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: in particular Target, but Ashley Cross has decided that she
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: is staging a one woman boycott of Walmart. Yes, in fact,
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Ashley is not going to be shopping at Walmart in period.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: No Walmart in the country, none of them ever Again, Okay,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: do you have that kind of commitment to your boycott?
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Can you vow to never shopping an establishment ever again?
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: Are a scott paper tower being ten sixty eight for
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: twelve rolls too great a deal to pass up?
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: If it is, then you can always do what Ashley
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: did because it's guaranteed Ashley will never step foot in
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: any Walmart ever again. And I lie, it's not because
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: she's boycotting Walmart. It's actually because Walmart is boycotting her.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: What do you mean, uncle, Charla, Walmart is boycotting her? Well,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: let's go to news Channel three for the report.
• 53:52
  Speaker 13: Police Ashley Cross, charged with criminal trespass and theft of
• 53:56
  Speaker 13: merchandise is, according to the police report, a well known
• 54:00
  Speaker 13: shoplifter at this Walmart on Elvis Presley Boulevard in Whitehaven,
• 54:04
  Speaker 13: so well known to Walmart that Cross is on an
• 54:07
  Speaker 13: Authorization of Agency list, meaning she's banned from any Walmart
• 54:12
  Speaker 13: location in the United States. The Elvis Presley Boulevard stores
• 54:16
  Speaker 13: where Cross and another suspect were arrested February tenth, Cross
• 54:21
  Speaker 13: was seen unisying and devised to scan her items for
• 54:24
  Speaker 13: one dollar at a self checkout machine.
• 54:27
  Speaker 19: Ashley Cross remains in jail on a seventy five hundred
• 54:30
  Speaker 19: dollars bond. She is due back in court February nineteenth.
• 54:34
  Speaker 19: The suspect with cross received a misdemeanor citation for theft
• 54:37
  Speaker 19: of property.
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, she already with the court. I wonder what happened. Listen.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: I used to shoplift up until twenty sixteen. Okay, that's
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: when I stopped shoplifting. But I didn't, you know, feel
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: like I was stealing.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: Because nine years ago, you had a little money.
• 54:51
  Speaker 16: Nine years ago, are you still stealing?
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know, But I didn't feel like you was
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: stealing because I didn't try to hide anything. I would
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: walk in and, you know, take what I want and
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: just walk out. I only get caught when you look suspicious,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: you know. Plus I never really stole anything but magazines,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: you know, when I was young, like Black and Miles,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: twelve packs of butt light, random stuff like that.
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: But Ashley is clearly a kleptomaniac.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: And she's good because she was using a bar code
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: from an old watch battery to scan all her items
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: for just one dollar to self checkout. I stand a
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: creative thief. Okay, y'all still stealing? Like flintstones. Actually out
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: here like a jetson with it. Maybe this is the
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: normal way to shoplift. Now, I don't steal anymore, so
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't know. But Ashley stole eleven packs of Ramen noodles,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: women's boots, a pair of jeans, and a T shirt,
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: all totaling one hundred and thirty seven dollars and thirty
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: four cents. Now, this woman was clearly stealing essentials. Okay,
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: these are reasonable things to steal. Ramen noodles, boots, clothes.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: I understand. In America, I'm gonna tell you something you
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: don't want to hear. There's gonna be a lot more
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: of this. Why because during America's inflation crisis, Walmart was
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: the spot.
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, you can.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: Get good deals all types of essentials. And yesterday Walmart
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: said things are about to get slow because consumers are
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: growing increasingly frustrated with inflation, and they're concerned about President
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: Trump's tasks. Basically, folks being broke. And if people keep
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: losing their jobs, they will be broken. And if you
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: are the reason okay people are losing their jobs, like
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk and Donald Trump are. In regards the federal workers,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: and you're putting tariffs on items. Not only do I
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: not have a job, things are going to be even
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: more expensive. So what am I going to resort to doing?
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: I tell you what people will resort to doing. Trying
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: to survive, and trying to survive can look like a
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: number of things, and sometimes one of those things is shoplifted.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not making excuses for Ashley. I'm just telling America
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: what the inevitable is when you don't take care of
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: the least of us. Nevertheless, Ashley crosses on Walmart's authorization
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: of agency lists, which prohibits her from entering any Walmart
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: store across the country. I didn't know such a list existed,
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: but Ashley is on it, and she is currently well,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: not even know if currently, but she was being held
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: on the seventy five hundred dollar bond, probably still in it.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: She's probably still look in it because if he had
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty four dollars to get these items
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: for Walmart, you damn sure ain't got the seventy five
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars bond all the ten percent of seven hundred
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: and fifty dollars to get out. But some donkey of
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: the days just sell themselves. Please give Ashley Cross the
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: Sweet Sounds and the Hamiltons.
• 57:20
  Speaker 15: You oh the day, ye oh the day.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Ye I know, it's just you feel bad for now.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: You don't feel bad for her. She's a repeat offender.
• 57:44
  Speaker 17: She could have got a job, or maybe the first
• 57:48
  Speaker 17: offense put something on her record and she couldn't.
• 57:50
  Speaker 16: Get the job.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: That is true too, But she stole from there a lot.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you switch it up?
• 57:56
  Speaker 17: All right, it's gonna sound bad, but no, you ever,
• 58:04
  Speaker 17: you ever be in so check out and be feeling
• 58:06
  Speaker 17: like this.
• 58:07
  Speaker 16: I shouldn't have to pay for this stuff, Like some
• 58:08
  Speaker 16: of this stuff is old to me.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: Like maybe she felt like that.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: No, I don't feel like that. And that's what happens
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: when you still wiggle. When you still wiggle, you know
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, You.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: Get good?
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: What what?
• 58:24
  Speaker 12: Yeah?
• 58:25
  Speaker 17: You so lucky you were still in when your face
• 58:26
  Speaker 17: was two different colors because they wouldn't have recognized you
• 58:29
  Speaker 17: from me to side.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: That is true. That is very true. If you if
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: I'm on camera in twenty sixteen, that's not me. Okay,
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: that's not me. It's not the same person the breakfast club.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: That's about me. For relationship problems. That's about me.

  Speaker 14: found a GPS tracker in my car recently, and I
• 59:17
  Speaker 14: don't know what to do.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: Stop cheating.
• 59:19
  Speaker 12: That's what you got to stop doing, because that's why
• 59:22
  Speaker 12: you How long you've been cheating? He's obviously been on
• 59:24
  Speaker 12: to you for a while.
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: How long?
• 59:26
  Speaker 14: Yeah, he found out. I told him.
• 59:28
  Speaker 8: I came cleanton.
• 59:29
  Speaker 14: But we're trying to work on things.
• 59:31
  Speaker 12: Trying to work on things. So you recently found the
• 59:33
  Speaker 12: tracker after admitting that you were a cheater?
• 59:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 59:36
  Speaker 7: Correct?
• 59:37
  Speaker 12: Okay, So that tells me that he does not believe you.
• 59:41
  Speaker 12: You know, he still does not trust that you are
• 59:44
  Speaker 12: done cheating?
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: Are you done?
• 59:45
  Speaker 12: With cheating, no right, and you are question why you
• 59:50
  Speaker 12: have a goddamn GPS tracker in your car and you're
• 59:53
  Speaker 12: not done cheating?
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: So why did you don't.
• 59:55
  Speaker 10: Know what to do with the relationship?
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: Oh you wanted to?
• 59:57
  Speaker 12: Oh okay, baby, you gotta get up by if you
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 12: want to live your life. And you you know, you
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 12: you still feel like you got some some other things
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 12: that you're you know, you don't want to cheat on
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 12: the person, do you?
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I don't know. Just leave him.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 12: Because you're obviously you're not happy. You're cheating for a reason,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 12: and he's not happy either.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 8: Though I do.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 12: And that's how it works. You always love the person
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 12: that you cheat on, you know what I mean? You
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 12: love them, but it's something that he's lacking that you
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 12: can't get there right, something that he's doing that he's
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 12: not doing that you really really wish that he would do.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 12: And although you don't want to leave him, you still
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 12: find you know, you're still looking for something else and
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 12: you're finding it out in the streets. And that's still
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 12: are you married or this is your boyfriend.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 14: We're engaged and we bought a house the other eight
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 14: years ago.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 12: So you ain't making it down at our girl. I
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 12: know you love him, but damn you ain't even married
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 12: and you're doing you cheating. I think you should just
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 12: I think you should just revoke that whole engagement. Go
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 12: and live your life.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: You forty six?
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 12: Wrong, Okay, okay, she need to be Neo's fifth girlfriendes
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 12: It is sounded like she needs she you you into
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 12: the polye situation. I think that's what you need. You
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 12: need somebody who's going to be comfortable with you doing
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 12: these things. I know he already bought the ring, I understand,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 12: but would this be better that he found out after
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 12: you married him or right now? I think it makes
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 12: more sense that he found out now. And I think
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 12: that you just need to look in the marriage. Just
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 12: be honest with yourself. Marriage is not for you, especially
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 12: not a committed marriage. It's not for you right now.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 12: I'm not saying forever, but that ain't something that that's
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 12: for you right now, because you know you got to
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 12: give him the choice. You know what I mean? Right now,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 12: you're not really giving him a choice. You know you
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 12: want to lead them on and he marry you and
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 12: you know you're still gonna cheat. I love your honesty.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 12: You're like, no, I ain't shooting yet, but you can't
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 12: walk down.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 10: You know, I love you, reason like I'm not trying to.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 14: I mean, excuse me. Yeah, I want real advice. So
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 14: just like I have to tell my therapist everything, Yeah,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 14: you can't help me if I lie or if I withhold.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and that's that's that shut. Apart from everybody else.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 12: People be calling up here, lying to me, leaving out
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 12: parts of the story. I applaud your honesty, but you
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 12: you cannot get married, and you have to tell him
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 12: that you're not ready for marriage.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 14: But I'm the one that wants to get married and
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 14: he doesn't. I mean he he's the one that's holding back.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 14: I mean, obviously he gave me a ring, which indicates
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 14: he would want to marry me, but he could also
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 14: just be leading me on leaden together ten years.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 12: Yep, you can't get married. The advice is still the same.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 12: I know you want to get married, but you're not ready.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 12: I'm telling you this ain't about him no more, it's
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 12: about you. You're not ready to get married. You're not
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 12: because you're not finished playing the field, you know what
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 12: I mean. And that's totally fine. But you gotta do
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 12: that single. You know he already got trust issues. You
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 12: found a GPS tracker. That is scary. It's scary as hell.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 12: But what's also but what's also scary as being engaged
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 12: to somebody that keeps cheating. It's it's crazy, and it's
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 12: scary knowing that I have to track my woman because
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 12: I'm afraid that she ain't gonna never stop cheating. I
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 12: know she's doing something and we ain't even make it
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 12: down the aisle yet. So yes, while marriage is something
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 12: that you want, that's a little further down.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: The line for you both.
• 1:03:31

  Speaker 10: Living with her, engaged to her. I don't care about that.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: I trained that meet myself, you feel me, So it
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: was kind of hard for me to leave that alone
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: all it.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 6: So whatever we broke up for, you know, trying to
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 6: train somebody else from scratches kind of but I attempted.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: And when our attempted, they was just terrible, back to back.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 10: And I'm like, I'm not catching all these frogs till
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 10: I get a prince.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 6: You feel me like some of them is just told
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 6: And so I just want to know what I should
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 6: do girl, cause you know that that meets forever man?
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: Or should I let this girl have her fiance.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 10: Like they gonna be married and all that.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 12: I know, I know, but this is the thing because
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 12: I think I want to tell you to go ahead
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 12: and pursue him, because that should actually train that meet
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 12: and all of that.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: I get that.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 12: But if he's about to walk down the aisle with
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 12: another shorty and he just you know, at this point,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 12: he's just using you for the convenience, he is.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 6: Not using when I'm the one initiating, I hit him up, like,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 6: I know y'all got whatever y'all got going on, but
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 6: you're busy today because I need something real quick, you
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 6: feel me.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 10: But I'm gonna know, like, well, I don't.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 12: Think you got anything to even worry about because one
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 12: shorty get a you know, get away this. She ain't
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 12: walking down the aisle, so you're gonna have him, believe
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 12: it or not.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 10: You know that's the thing.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: I don't never want him back.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 6: I want that, And that's why I let him have
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 6: this fiance, because you know, let that girl deal with
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 6: the headache.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: I just feel me.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 10: I just want to know should I keep doing that?
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: Should I be abstine, like, what should I do?
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 13: Dad?
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 5: No, I don't.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 12: Yes, it's so much meat out here.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 12: You know, you train one dog, you can train another
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 12: one is.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is, and when I tried it it was horrible. Yeah,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: let her have that.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 12: Uh, that's her headache now. And I think, like I said,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 12: you you're done. All you want is to meet.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: That's fine.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 12: Some things just run its course. You need to leave
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 12: him alone, let him be married, let.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: Him figure it out.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 12: That ain't for him because obviously if he's still willingly
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 12: cheating on his fiance, he ain't he walked on out yet,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 12: then that's that's something that he gonna keep doing. You
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 12: ain't even got to be a casualty of that. I
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 12: know you initiating and all that, But would you want
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 12: your man, your your fiance to do the same thing
• 1:06:48

  Speaker 4: My wife is always late. I'm talking to you, gain
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: like you said about Chris, I'm talking to you. My
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: wife is always late, okay, to the point where I
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: have to lie about the time. So if you have
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: a party at nine, I gotta tell the parties at
• 1:11:04

• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: You know, my wife and I have different phone habits,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: Like my phone is usually on me or near me,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: so I'm quick to answer if I want to answer
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: for the person. But she doesn't literally walking around with
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: her phone on her. But my thing is, that's cool.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: When everybody is home, like when I'm home and all
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: the kids home, none of us need to really be
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: near our phones because even the parents know the house
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: phone and stuff like that. But when everybody isn't home,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: keep your phone on you because you never know what
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: I'm calling and why I'm calling. Keep your phone on you,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: So not answering the phone. That's my my pet peek.
