- 2:28Speaker 1: good point. I haven't been in a long time, Not
- 2:32Speaker 1: in America, not in America, in America. And I will
- 2:36Speaker 1: say I've always been really intentional on supporting a lot
- 2:39Speaker 1: of the black owned restaurants, especially in Brooklyn, because I
- 2:41Speaker 1: know places have had a really tough time and business
- 2:44Speaker 1: has dropped since all these vaccination requirements in order to
- 2:47Speaker 1: even go in. So I always make sure I support
- 2:49Speaker 1: the grill Tillies. All my spots in Brooklyn swayed footprints everything.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Excuse you gotta use to be mixing? No I do.
- 2:57Speaker 1: And even when restaurants weren't open, I was ordering from
- 3:00Speaker 1: all these places on Uber eats and giving extra tips
- 3:02Speaker 1: because they need our they do need our support. I'm
- 3:04Speaker 1: gonna sleep. Did you get last night like three hours? Lord,

- 3:27Speaker 1: you have to be in bed by if you're not

- 4:32Speaker 1: lawmakers want him to release a memo outlining his authority
- 4:35Speaker 1: on student debt cancelation. All right, we'll get into that next.

- 5:13Speaker 1: but every once in a while. Look, how do you
- 5:15Speaker 1: think that that that colleague gonna get paidful? Now, don't
- 5:18Speaker 1: you have a nanny? Yes? Oh so she good? Yeah?
- 5:21Speaker 1: All right, Well let's get into front page news where
- 5:24Speaker 1: we started. More than eighty lawmakers in the House and
- 5:27Speaker 1: the Senate went President Biden to publicly release information on
- 5:31Speaker 1: his legal authority to cancel student loan debt. Now, in
- 5:34Speaker 1: the letter, they want him to direct the Department of
- 5:36Speaker 1: Education to publicly release a memo that they ordered last
- 5:39Speaker 1: year outlining the president's authority to cancel those loans. And
- 5:43Speaker 1: they also want him to use all the tools at
- 5:45Speaker 1: his disposal to deliver relief to the millions of families
- 5:48Speaker 1: inspired by the proposal to make a debt free college
- 5:51Speaker 1: degree within their reach by a limiting up to fifty
- 5:53Speaker 1: thousand dollars in federal student loan debt for all families
- 5:57Speaker 1: before payments resumed. Now, since his campaign, he has called
- 6:00Speaker 1: for a minimum of ten thousand dollars in federal student
- 6:03Speaker 1: loans to be canceled per borrower, and he is willing
- 6:06Speaker 1: to go as high as well. He's pushing back on
- 6:09Speaker 1: calls from Democrats they want him to go as high
- 6:11Speaker 1: as fifty thousand dollars or to wipe out federal student
- 6:14Speaker 1: loan debt entirely. They did say they've canceled fifteen billion
- 6:17Speaker 1: dollars in student loan debt during his first year in office,
- 6:21Speaker 1: and they released a press release from the Department of
- 6:23Speaker 1: Education stating that now is that state college, community college,
- 6:26Speaker 1: private college, or that's all colleges. I think those are
- 6:29Speaker 1: the loans have to be, don't they have to be
- 6:31Speaker 1: like a federal loans. I have no yeah, I have
- 6:35Speaker 1: no idea what that means, but it sounds like they
- 6:36Speaker 1: just want to know what it is he can or
- 6:37Speaker 1: can't do because of the campaign promise that he made
- 6:40Speaker 1: when he pledged to cancel at least ten thousand dollars
- 6:42Speaker 1: a student debt per person, which he has reniged on.
- 6:44Speaker 1: I mean, if they could figure out a way to
- 6:46Speaker 1: wipe out student loans, that would be amazing. I mean
- 6:48Speaker 1: I think, well, not you, Charlagne, But when you got it,
- 6:51Speaker 1: when we all got out of college and we had
- 6:53Speaker 1: to start paying that loan, it was tougher from I
- 6:54Speaker 1: want my money back, Well, we're not gonna get that
- 6:56Speaker 1: money back e. But it was difficult. You know, you
- 6:58Speaker 1: had to get a job, you had to make sure
- 6:59Speaker 1: you could pay as so a lot of times you
- 7:00Speaker 1: can't start your career because you have to start paying
- 7:03Speaker 1: them college loans. You know. After a while, I remember
- 7:05Speaker 1: we had the Secretary of Education up him and we
- 7:07Speaker 1: was asking them what happened to the you know, the
- 7:10Speaker 1: student loans that the ten thousand dollars I was supposed
- 7:12Speaker 1: to go to each person. And he started talking to
- 7:14Speaker 1: us about all of the student loans that that they
- 7:16Speaker 1: got people with disabilities out of and everything else. Yeah,
- 7:19Speaker 1: that's great, but what about the campaign promise or the
- 7:21Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars per student? You know, for whatever reason
- 7:24Speaker 1: they keep ducking that question. So it sounds to me
- 7:25Speaker 1: like the lawmakers just want to know what it is
- 7:28Speaker 1: they can or can't do. And let me ask you this.
- 7:31Speaker 1: If they cancer that, so no one pays it, like
- 7:33Speaker 1: the money doesn't come from anywhere, and what happens like
- 7:38Speaker 1: the government takes care of it. Yeah, I'm just how
- 7:41Speaker 1: does that because university still gotta get paid some house somewhere. Yeah,
- 7:44Speaker 1: when somebody give me a check and tell me that
- 7:45Speaker 1: the debt is free, I don't care about where they
- 7:47Speaker 1: got the money from it. I'm just curious, how does
- 7:50Speaker 1: that work? Yeah, it's probably all taxpayer of dollars, more
- 7:52Speaker 1: than likely. Now. Joe Biden is also standing by his
- 7:55Speaker 1: campaign promise to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court.
- 8:00Speaker 1: They just announced that Justice Stephen Briars set to retire
- 8:03Speaker 1: at the end of this current term, and so, according
- 8:07Speaker 1: to Jansaki, the White House Press secretary, that is going
- 8:11Speaker 1: to happen. There was too they played it from me earlier.
- 8:18Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. He got it hypothetically, but
- 8:20Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice was to retire and announce it on
- 8:25Speaker 1: his or her own terms. Does President Biden plan to
- 8:28Speaker 1: honor his pledge to nominate a black woman to the Court. Well,
- 8:32Speaker 1: I've commented on this previously. The President has stated and
- 8:35Speaker 1: reiterated his commitment to nominating a black woman to the
- 8:39Speaker 1: Supreme Court and certainly stands by that um for today. Again,
- 8:45Speaker 1: I'm just not going to be able to say anything
- 8:47Speaker 1: about any specifics until, of course, Justice Briar makes any announcement,
- 8:54Speaker 1: should he decide to make an announcement. That's a campaign
- 8:56Speaker 1: promise he has to keep because he made that. The
- 8:59Speaker 1: you know, OG black elected officials in the Democratic Party
- 9:04Speaker 1: like that already have a likely replacement too. Who's that, um,
- 9:08Speaker 1: Judge Katangi Brown Jackson, a Harvard trained jurist who sits
- 9:11Speaker 1: on the same DC Circuit Court that was home to
- 9:13Speaker 1: Brett Cavanaugh before he was nominated to the Supreme Court.
- 9:16Speaker 1: And you know in the court there's only been two
- 9:19Speaker 1: black justices Thirdgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas. That black woman
- 9:22Speaker 1: has never been nominated to the Supreme Court, let alone confirmed. Yeah,
- 9:25Speaker 1: that was that was That was a campaign promise that
- 9:27Speaker 1: he made to a lot of og black elected officials.
- 9:29Speaker 1: They were like, yo, we're not endorsing you if you
- 9:32Speaker 1: don't you know promise promised to give us a black
- 9:34Speaker 1: woman on the Supreme Court. One black elected official in
- 9:37Speaker 1: particular who really turned the tide. His name was OLDG.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Jim Clapburn and Jim Claiburn. Well, they said he stands
- 9:44Speaker 1: by it so good. That is your front page news.

- 12:43Speaker 1: my name on Facebook and made up a bunch of
- 12:45Speaker 1: lies about me. I'm not feeling that at all, so
- 12:48Speaker 1: so can I can sue them for that? If they
- 12:51Speaker 1: made up a bunch of lies, that's information, and if

- 13:49Speaker 1: Doing well? Brother? How you? I'm love man? On my
- 13:52Speaker 1: way to work. I was concentrating here. And I don't
- 13:55Speaker 1: like the term culture vulture or not sharing with the
- 13:58Speaker 1: culture or take it from the culture. Why. I look
- 14:01Speaker 1: at it as like to be of the culture. Right,
- 14:05Speaker 1: Usually you're in a position to create something to share
- 14:08Speaker 1: amongst people, and if you're sometimes you're just gonna spit over.
- 14:11Speaker 1: You're going to share what people who aren't necessarily from
- 14:14Speaker 1: the culture. But when you get into a certain position,
- 14:17Speaker 1: we're asking the creators of culture based stuff to ask
- 14:21Speaker 1: what you contributed to the culture and do more than
- 14:24Speaker 1: the n actual purchaser of the product. I don't think
- 14:27Speaker 1: that's fair. I think the product is the contribution to
- 14:30Speaker 1: the culture. I look at it differently. I look at
- 14:32Speaker 1: it like, you know, the culture was created let's say
- 14:35Speaker 1: let's say something was created in the hip hop community
- 14:37Speaker 1: and the black community and the Bronx right like hip
- 14:39Speaker 1: hop right, and those brothers created that out of love.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Then you have somebody who's not from the bronx seeing
- 14:46Speaker 1: what they did and made billions off of it, and
- 14:49Speaker 1: those brothers that created got nothing. And if you don't
- 14:52Speaker 1: give back to those communities that created it, I think
- 14:54Speaker 1: that you're a culture voture. How do you take something
- 14:56Speaker 1: from a community and don't give anything backpacked out of it.
- 14:59Speaker 1: That's culture vulture. Yeah, but don't you think I don't.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that, But don't you think culture
- 15:05Speaker 1: culture is something that is just shared. Coaching can be closed,
- 15:08Speaker 1: coaching can be slain, Coaching can be you know, exact music,
- 15:12Speaker 1: like just people Like a lot of people will sit
- 15:14Speaker 1: there and bashed Kim Kardashian And I hate to say this,
- 15:17Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't just like the woman. But
- 15:19Speaker 1: it's not her who's going around and saying, hey, I
- 15:21Speaker 1: created this style, I came up with it. It's the
- 15:23Speaker 1: people who are the critics of Kim Kardashian. I don't
- 15:26Speaker 1: think Kim has ever said and said I got this
- 15:29Speaker 1: brand new off the back of my mind because its
- 15:31Speaker 1: influenced by the culture. Because truth be told. If that's
- 15:34Speaker 1: the case, based off what NB said, then everybody in
- 15:36Speaker 1: hip hop should be giving back money to those brothers
- 15:38Speaker 1: in the Bronx, Like literally everybody from every region across
- 15:41Speaker 1: the world should be paying those brothers back for something
- 15:44Speaker 1: that they started. Black white. It don't matter because they
- 15:47Speaker 1: every everybody profited off hip hop. But I think a
- 15:49Speaker 1: lot of people do. I think a lot of people
- 15:51Speaker 1: do give it back to the founding fault does to
- 15:53Speaker 1: make sure that people are straight, whether it's I think
- 15:58Speaker 1: how you're raised around the millionaire bro who I don't
- 16:02Speaker 1: disagree with you. But if that's the case, why is
- 16:04Speaker 1: it that people like syl So can't get their credit?
- 16:07Speaker 1: You know? Why is it that they can't get their masters?
- 16:09Speaker 1: Why do we have all? Right? But that's part of
- 16:12Speaker 1: the from them. But that's what I think, it's part
- 16:15Speaker 1: of the culture. Voters like you said, like they sign
- 16:17Speaker 1: them and don't give the them masters. But but that's
- 16:19Speaker 1: what I think people do. That's just busy. Made a
- 16:21Speaker 1: profit of it, made made it the business. That's it
- 16:26Speaker 1: is business. But I think it's it's a coach of
- 16:27Speaker 1: volture part of it, you know. I mean, you take
- 16:29Speaker 1: somebody's culture, you make a profit off it, probably because
- 16:32Speaker 1: they didn't know how to make a profit off of it,
- 16:33Speaker 1: or they didn't have the money to invest in it,
- 16:35Speaker 1: and then you don't give back to the yat I
- 16:36Speaker 1: don't listen. I don't agree. I don't. I don't agree
- 16:38Speaker 1: with it morally, but I understand it business wise. Isn't
- 16:41Speaker 1: it the part of the giving back to the business
- 16:42Speaker 1: of hey, this is what we did, we did this wrong,
- 16:45Speaker 1: this what's wrong. It's just the next generation the information
- 16:48Speaker 1: so they don't repeat their mistakes. Is that not giving back? Yeah,
- 16:52Speaker 1: that's giving back absolutely. I think, well, I think we
- 16:54Speaker 1: I think we all can be uh be vultuish in
- 16:58Speaker 1: a way. So I think the only way that you can,
- 17:00Speaker 1: I believe, your back is just to honestly show other
- 17:02Speaker 1: people how to do it, show other people how to
- 17:03Speaker 1: make money the way you have. I mean, that's my
- 17:06Speaker 1: personal opinion. It's a good conversation, like, yeah, y'all have
- 17:09Speaker 1: a great thing. Man, I gonna hold you up. Have
- 17:11Speaker 1: a good one too, brother. I was having this conversation
- 17:13Speaker 1: yesterday about a Black Record executive. You know who owned
- 17:18Speaker 1: somebody Masters, and I'm like, I can understand business wise,
- 17:21Speaker 1: you know why they feel like they should hold onto
- 17:23Speaker 1: the masters, you know what I mean. But then there's
- 17:25Speaker 1: a part of me that's just like, yo, you black,
- 17:27Speaker 1: that person black. Just at least give them half, you
- 17:30Speaker 1: know what I mean. Make it fair and equitable. But
- 17:32Speaker 1: I understand if I've invested so much money into this person,
- 17:35Speaker 1: because it's a Gambley ten million into you and you
- 17:38Speaker 1: don't probably make but no, do get it back. I
- 17:41Speaker 1: should be able to, you know, that's the deal that
- 17:43Speaker 1: we made. That's where the lines get blurred when you're black,
- 17:45Speaker 1: because then there's there's good it's because it's really just
- 17:47Speaker 1: good business and bad business. Correct, bad businesses me just
- 17:50Speaker 1: giving you your Masters and I didn't recoup my money.
- 17:54Speaker 1: You know, that's just bad business. But people think you
- 17:56Speaker 1: should do that. No just because you're black. But I
- 17:58Speaker 1: think what people negotiate deals once something that works out,
- 18:02Speaker 1: so that it's it's something that's more fair. Who are
- 18:05Speaker 1: the more fan to what if I still haven't made that.
- 18:07Speaker 1: I know they've done that with some big artists where
- 18:09Speaker 1: they initially signed a deal that they were locked in
- 18:11Speaker 1: that artist blew up, and then they came back to
- 18:13Speaker 1: the table before the deal was up and renegotiate. Once
- 18:16Speaker 1: they made their money back, yea, once the keyword, once
- 18:18Speaker 1: they made their money make money back, because at the
- 18:21Speaker 1: end of the day is it's an investment. You know.
- 18:23Speaker 1: The reason the labels are able to promote artists because
- 18:25Speaker 1: they make money. And if they don't make money, where
- 18:27Speaker 1: they getting this money from, they just can't it. Hold
- 18:29Speaker 1: it in the back. They just can't make it in
- 18:31Speaker 1: the back, you know, back rooms. It oftens to make
- 18:33Speaker 1: their money back. The perception of it often looks bad,
- 18:35Speaker 1: but the reality is they probably didn't recoup off this
- 18:37Speaker 1: person or this individual. That's why they're still holding onto
- 18:39Speaker 1: their masses. Correct, get it off a few chests eight
- 18:42Speaker 1: D five five one O five one. Now we got
- 18:44Speaker 1: rooms on the way. Yes, and get ready for a
- 18:46Speaker 1: new documentary and DOCI series about Bobby Brown. All right,
- 18:51Speaker 1: we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
- 18:54Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. She's filling the team. This is the
- 19:03Speaker 1: rumor rapport with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right,
- 19:07Speaker 1: have you wait, wait, wait, you're not gonna spoil alert
- 19:10Speaker 1: right now because I fell asleep on it last night, right, No, Actually,
- 19:14Speaker 1: I was going to talk about Ozark because a new
- 19:15Speaker 1: season has started. I don't know if anybody's been watching it,
- 19:18Speaker 1: but I guess you kind of have. And you know
- 19:21Speaker 1: that the new season of Ozark has caused this classic
- 19:24Speaker 1: song to search to number one on the charts on
- 19:27Speaker 1: the Reggae Charts one. It plays near the end of
- 19:40Speaker 1: episode one. Hopefully that's not a spoiler for you. Now,
- 19:42Speaker 1: I fell asleep, all right. Now. What's interesting about this
- 19:45Speaker 1: song though, is sister Nancy actually when that song came out,
- 19:49Speaker 1: she didn't even know how popular it was. She first
- 19:51Speaker 1: recorded it in nineteen eighty two, and her producer traveled
- 19:55Speaker 1: the world, so he knew it was playing in other places.
- 19:58Speaker 1: But she said she only ever heard it one time
- 20:00Speaker 1: in Jamaica and she wasn't getting any royalties from that song.
- 20:03Speaker 1: It wasn't until twenty fourteen when she saw the song
- 20:05Speaker 1: in a reebok ad that she got legal advice on
- 20:08Speaker 1: her rights for that music. Who was getting all them
- 20:10Speaker 1: checks before then? Well, she actually was able to get
- 20:13Speaker 1: checks from the past ten years, but you know, because
- 20:15Speaker 1: of statute of limitations, that's as far back as she
- 20:18Speaker 1: could get it, so she says, now she owns fifty
- 20:20Speaker 1: percent of the album one two that that was on.
- 20:23Speaker 1: So she said, at least I'm getting something now. I
- 20:25Speaker 1: never used to get anything. To think about it, all
- 20:27Speaker 1: that time she didn't get anything. And actually, to Tibbett,
- 20:30Speaker 1: who wrote it, never collected any royalties for it. He
- 20:33Speaker 1: passed away in twenty twenty at the age of seventies.
- 20:36Speaker 1: At the age of seventy seven, he tell me nobody
- 20:38Speaker 1: was getting paid all there, or what I'm saying, who
- 20:40Speaker 1: was getting paid over those reggae artists were getting like that,
- 20:43Speaker 1: like they would do those compilations and know what they
- 20:45Speaker 1: wouldn't know, so they would steal all that money. What
- 20:47Speaker 1: was she's on du now? So who was getting them checks?
- 20:51Speaker 1: I wonder what's getting them checks? And you know what,
- 20:53Speaker 1: there are one hundred and twenty eight songs that have
- 20:55Speaker 1: sampled that song. Oh my good. You guys remember it
- 20:58Speaker 1: in Belly too, right, damn right? Remember Belly like y'all
- 21:01Speaker 1: have to wait till Ozok to make that song number
- 21:03Speaker 1: one on the Reggae harks. Belly, Well it just shot
- 21:05Speaker 1: back to number one because of that. But you know
- 21:07Speaker 1: that song came out a while ago, back in nineteen
- 21:09Speaker 1: eighty two. So shout out to Sister Nancy. I think
- 21:12Speaker 1: she lives in Jersey too, don't she? Who's loot to you?
- 21:14Speaker 1: Sister subsist. She wants to come up here, So we're
- 21:17Speaker 1: gonna make that happen all right now, Master Pa has

- 23:27Speaker 1: get a glimpse of who Bobby is now in a
- 23:30Speaker 1: new twelve part docuseries, Bobby Brown, Every Little Step All
- 23:34Speaker 1: right Now, DARE is criticizing Euphoria. You know. DARE is
- 23:39Speaker 1: an anti drug education program, the drug abuse resistance education
- 23:42Speaker 1: program that first launched in the eighties amidst the so
- 23:45Speaker 1: called war on drugs. And they are saying that Euphoria
- 23:49Speaker 1: glamorizes substance abuse and anonymous sex and more. They said,
- 23:54Speaker 1: rather than further each parents desire to keep their children
- 23:57Speaker 1: safe from the potentially horrific consequences drug abuse and other
- 24:00Speaker 1: high risk behavior. HBO television drama Euphoria chooses to misguidedly
- 24:05Speaker 1: glorify and erroneously depicts high school student drug use, addiction,
- 24:09Speaker 1: anonymous sex, violence, and other destructive behaviors as common and
- 24:12Speaker 1: widespread in today's world. You know what day I should
- 24:15Speaker 1: do before they release statements like that, they should talk
- 24:17Speaker 1: to parents. And even when you do talk to parents,
- 24:19Speaker 1: you know, some parents may feel like that, some parents don't.
- 24:21Speaker 1: You know what that euphoria does. Euphoria actually allows you
- 24:24Speaker 1: to have conversations, you know, with your young children. You know,
- 24:27Speaker 1: your child that might be thirteen or in high school
- 24:30Speaker 1: that you know watches in DAYA and maybe watching that show.
- 24:33Speaker 1: It opens up a lot of different discussions that you
- 24:36Speaker 1: can absolutely have with your children. And they do not
- 24:38Speaker 1: glorify it. Euphoria makes me be like, Lord, have mercy, boy,
- 24:41Speaker 1: somebody got to talk to these kids out here. It
- 24:43Speaker 1: does not glorify to glamorize it at all. They seem
- 24:45Speaker 1: like they're going through it. Yes, all right, well that

- 27:35Speaker 1: you want to hear the question for final Jeopardy today

- 27:46Speaker 1: an H. It's also one of the two most fuckers
- 27:50Speaker 1: do you not country? It's the only nation in the
- 27:56Speaker 1: world whose name in English ends with an H, and
- 27:59Speaker 1: it's all so one of the ten most populous. No go,
- 28:03Speaker 1: she didn't have it any that does not end with
- 28:04Speaker 1: the It sounds like anyway. She didn't even make a guess.
- 28:11Speaker 1: It was blank Bangladesh oh banglad dash shee. They should
- 28:16Speaker 1: have done something else. They should have said he produced
- 28:18Speaker 1: Little Wayne's classic track on Millie. See how would have
- 28:21Speaker 1: got that? Would have got it? I would have got

- 28:28Speaker 1: a million dollars one point three eight one point three
- 28:31Speaker 1: eight two million. Yeah, she got my name right. They
- 28:33Speaker 1: asked her a Jeopardy question about me, and she said
- 28:35Speaker 1: Charlomagne and God with no hesitation. So salute to you, Amy,
- 28:38Speaker 1: thirty nine times in a row. You know who won
- 28:40Speaker 1: the most Ken Jennings. You know how many wins he had?
- 28:42Speaker 1: Seventy four? Wow? And Amy? They dropped, they robbed, and

- 29:05Speaker 1: Sure did well. She did lose to Ron Talisma, who
- 29:08Speaker 1: was a librarian from Chicago, So congratulations to her, all right,
- 29:13Speaker 1: Anne as new variants are emerging. Let's turn to COVID
- 29:17Speaker 1: for a second. The government is thinking about doing a
- 29:20Speaker 1: universal coronavirus vaccine, so as the virus is continuing to
- 29:24Speaker 1: evolve into new concerning variants, each with a slightly different
- 29:28Speaker 1: genetic code. They said, current vaccines still work well against
- 29:31Speaker 1: new variants, but they're no longer a perfect match because
- 29:34Speaker 1: usually they have to find a genetic code that's a
- 29:36Speaker 1: perfect match for the variant. So right now they have
- 29:39Speaker 1: been tweaking booster shots to match omicron. But now they're
- 29:42Speaker 1: talking about trying to come up with a pan coronavirus
- 29:45Speaker 1: vaccine that would work equally well against any COVID nineteen variant.
- 29:49Speaker 1: And that is a new approach that they are going
- 29:52Speaker 1: to have that they're aggressively pursuing. And also too, oh
- 29:56Speaker 1: with Amy from Jeopardy, do you say woman or do
- 29:58Speaker 1: you say trans woman too? Because no, you want all
- 30:01Speaker 1: representation to matter, right, I think you said Tran Well
- 30:03Speaker 1: I don't know, okay, because he says she represents the
- 30:07Speaker 1: trans community that you didn't know she was trans. All right,
- 30:12Speaker 1: well that is your rumor reports. All right, thank you news,

- 30:43Speaker 1: a special guest in the building, absolutely, Jay Shetty, welcome.
- 30:47Speaker 1: Thank you for having me himself. Great for to bear man.
- 30:49Speaker 1: He's a very familiar voice because you got the number
- 30:52Speaker 1: one health and wellness podcast, spiritual mind fulness podcast on Purpose.
- 30:57Speaker 1: I've had the pleasure of being a guest on it.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Phenomenal guest. I loved the episode with Kobe Bryant. I
- 31:01Speaker 1: loved the episode with Jada Pick. You got a lot
- 31:03Speaker 1: of great episodes. Yeah, it's I'm really grateful. We've got
- 31:05Speaker 1: an amazing community. They keep showing up and we've had
- 31:08Speaker 1: some phenomenal guests. I was just saying, you were one
- 31:09Speaker 1: of our first guests and like the first three to
- 31:11Speaker 1: six months of the show and it was brand new,
- 31:13Speaker 1: so I'm so grateful that you did that. Man, I
- 31:15Speaker 1: really appreciate it. And I've been hearing a lot of
- 31:18Speaker 1: people talk about meditation lately, and so you actually help
- 31:21Speaker 1: guide people through how to meditate, right, Yes, yeah, So
- 31:24Speaker 1: I spent three years living as a monk in India
- 31:27Speaker 1: and across Europe, and so I was trained in how
- 31:29Speaker 1: to meditate from monks who've been practicing for decades, and
- 31:32Speaker 1: they were practicing ancient meditation techniques for thousands and thousands
- 31:36Speaker 1: of years. And so when I was trained in that school,
- 31:39Speaker 1: I felt this responsibility to want to share that with
- 31:42Speaker 1: the world because it changed my life. And I'm just
- 31:45Speaker 1: an average kid born and raised in London, and I thought, well,
- 31:47Speaker 1: if it can help me, then I'm sure it can
- 31:49Speaker 1: help a lot of people would leads the young man
- 31:51Speaker 1: want to be a monk. Trust me, I did not
- 31:54Speaker 1: grow up wanting to be a monk. And if someone
- 31:56Speaker 1: if someone told me that I was going to grow
- 31:58Speaker 1: up and become a monk, I probably would have thrown
- 31:59Speaker 1: a beer I'll at them that I would have been holding.
- 32:01Speaker 1: But I was born and raised in London and I
- 32:04Speaker 1: would go in my teens to go and hear from
- 32:06Speaker 1: people who'd gone from nothing to something. So I was
- 32:10Speaker 1: fascinated by rags to riches stories. I'd go and hear CEOs, entrepreneurs, athletes, celebrities,
- 32:15Speaker 1: and this is before podcasts and YouTube, so you actually
- 32:18Speaker 1: had to go to events. And so I'd go to
- 32:20Speaker 1: these events. And once my friends told me that a
- 32:23Speaker 1: monk was speaking, and I was skeptical. I was like,
- 32:26Speaker 1: what am I going to learn from someone who's gone
- 32:28Speaker 1: from nothing to nothing? Like, you know, what are they
- 32:30Speaker 1: going to teach me? And so I said to my friends,
- 32:32Speaker 1: I'd only go if we go to a bar afterwards.
- 32:35Speaker 1: I was eighteen years old, and they were being very persuasive,
- 32:39Speaker 1: so they agreed. So I end up at this event
- 32:41Speaker 1: at my university waiting to hear this monk speak. I
- 32:45Speaker 1: go there, I'm looking at the clock, like just waiting
- 32:46Speaker 1: to leave, and I was just mesmerized. And I don't
- 32:51Speaker 1: mean that in like a spiritual experience, where I just
- 32:53Speaker 1: mean like I was captivated by every word that he said.
- 32:56Speaker 1: And there was nothing externally attractive about him. He was
- 32:59Speaker 1: wearing robes, he was from India, he wasn't connected to
- 33:02Speaker 1: me in any other way, but he spoke about service
- 33:05Speaker 1: and he spoke about purpose, and he spoke about how
- 33:08Speaker 1: serving others and helping others with your skills and your
- 33:11Speaker 1: strengths is the greatest thing you can do. And my
- 33:13Speaker 1: eighteen year old self was just completely penetrating my heart
- 33:18Speaker 1: and I was just like, that's what I want. And
- 33:20Speaker 1: now when I look back, I realized that when I
- 33:23Speaker 1: was eighteen, I'd met people who were rich. I've met
- 33:25Speaker 1: people who are famous, and met people who are beautiful
- 33:27Speaker 1: and strong, but I don't think i'd met anyone who
- 33:30Speaker 1: is truly happy. And that day I felt like I
- 33:32Speaker 1: met someone who was truly happy and that you just
- 33:35Speaker 1: felt that energy in this space of being a monk.
- 33:39Speaker 1: So the process is you wake up at four am
- 33:41Speaker 1: every day, and what is a monk? Okay, So a
- 33:45Speaker 1: monk is someone who dedicates themselves to a particular spiritual
- 33:50Speaker 1: tradition and you genuinely practice celibacy during the time that
- 33:54Speaker 1: you're a monk. But beyond that, you're waking up every
- 33:57Speaker 1: day four am meditating for four to eight hours. So
- 34:00Speaker 1: the morning meditation finishes about eight thirty, then you get
- 34:03Speaker 1: some breakfast, then you do your daily chores, and then
- 34:06Speaker 1: the rest of the day we were out serving, So
- 34:07Speaker 1: we were serving food to the homeless, building sustainable villages,
- 34:12Speaker 1: helping out in schools, and this was all out in India,
- 34:14Speaker 1: so a lot of the philanthropy work as well. So
- 34:16Speaker 1: the morning was about self mastery and the afternoon was
- 34:20Speaker 1: about serving others. And so that's kind of like the
- 34:22Speaker 1: rough framework of what a day looks like. You know,
- 34:25Speaker 1: you said you wanted to be a monk because it
- 34:27Speaker 1: led you to public service. I feel like that's our
- 34:29Speaker 1: two purpose in life. Service to others. Yes, you can
- 34:31Speaker 1: do that without being a monk, So what made you
- 34:32Speaker 1: want to go full fledge and be a monk? Absolutely?
- 34:36Speaker 1: And I think the truth is that I didn't see
- 34:39Speaker 1: anyone living a life of service at that time who
- 34:43Speaker 1: wasn't living from a spiritual place. It just wasn't as common.
- 34:46Speaker 1: And now I feel so happy that this conversation is
- 34:49Speaker 1: happening in the mainstream. But when I was eighteen, that's,
- 34:52Speaker 1: you know, roughly sixteen seventeen years ago, that wasn't there.
- 34:55Speaker 1: You didn't see that. You saw the Forbes Rich List,
- 34:58Speaker 1: you saw that list. You didn't really a service list
- 35:01Speaker 1: or a purpose list. And I think that's changing. But
- 35:04Speaker 1: it was also the idea that the self mastery part
- 35:08Speaker 1: was you're actually going to work on purifying your ego.
- 35:11Speaker 1: You're actually going to work on your own mind, so
- 35:13Speaker 1: you're not just going to go out there and try
- 35:15Speaker 1: and help other people, but you're actually going to deal
- 35:17Speaker 1: with everything that's going on in here. And I think
- 35:19Speaker 1: that attracted me that, Wow, I'm going to get X
- 35:22Speaker 1: amount of time every day to figure out the mess
- 35:26Speaker 1: that's in here? When am I ever going to get
- 35:29Speaker 1: that time again? Like? Who's going to give you the two? It? Like?
- 35:31Speaker 1: You know, because if you want to be if you
- 35:32Speaker 1: want to join the army, you can enlist in the army.
- 35:34Speaker 1: If you want to be a police officer, you can
- 35:35Speaker 1: fill out that application if you want to be there.
- 35:37Speaker 1: So where do you go to be a monk? So
- 35:40Speaker 1: there are lots of different monks schools, if I can
- 35:42Speaker 1: use that word, across the world. There's Tibet, there's India,
- 35:46Speaker 1: there's you know, there's multiple ones, and I've visited many
- 35:49Speaker 1: of them. I think it's about finding as always, it
- 35:52Speaker 1: is a teacher, a guide that you connect with. And
- 35:55Speaker 1: so for me, I speak about this gentleman Garangadas in
- 35:57Speaker 1: my book. He was the monk that I felt and
- 36:00Speaker 1: affection and affinity with and so I wanted to study
- 36:03Speaker 1: in his school, and so when I was part of
- 36:05Speaker 1: his institution two hours outside of Mumbai in India, in
- 36:09Speaker 1: that space, they had a system of what you have
- 36:13Speaker 1: to practice, what you have to process why. So for example,
- 36:15Speaker 1: a big part of it was, you know, practicing silence.
- 36:19Speaker 1: And when you practice silence, people think, oh, that sounds terrible,
- 36:23Speaker 1: and it does for like seven days, and then after
- 36:26Speaker 1: that you stop worrying about all the noise outside. You
- 36:29Speaker 1: start hearing the noise inside, and then you go deeper
- 36:31Speaker 1: and deeper and deeper. A part of it was practicing fasting, right,
- 36:34Speaker 1: we were practicing fasting for since control and being able
- 36:37Speaker 1: to master the tongue and master the desire to eat
- 36:39Speaker 1: and talk. And so there's so many practices and methods
- 36:42Speaker 1: that were set up, and service was a big part
- 36:45Speaker 1: of it to help us actually grow as humans. And
- 36:48Speaker 1: I really feel that those three years amongks school have
- 36:51Speaker 1: massively impacted how I lived that life now and I
- 36:54Speaker 1: left nine years ago, so it's been a fair amount
- 36:56Speaker 1: of time. Once you're out of school, what was the
- 36:57Speaker 1: first thing you did, Like, what do you how do
- 36:59Speaker 1: you apply for positions, What did you do after three years?
- 37:02Speaker 1: After three years as being a monk, so I thought
- 37:05Speaker 1: I was going to do it for the rest of
- 37:06Speaker 1: my life, and after three years it almost felt like
- 37:10Speaker 1: a failure, like I felt like I messed up, because
- 37:13Speaker 1: all of that self awareness led me to the feeling
- 37:15Speaker 1: that I wasn't meant to be a monk, that I
- 37:17Speaker 1: wasn't actually qualified to live the life of a monk.
- 37:20Speaker 1: I realized that monk life required a certain sense of
- 37:24Speaker 1: letting go of the rebellious nature that I had inside
- 37:28Speaker 1: of me, and also that this calling and desire I
- 37:31Speaker 1: had in my heart to want to share this wisdom
- 37:33Speaker 1: and message in a certain way. I always when I
- 37:36Speaker 1: learned about all these ancient teachings and scriptures, I was like,
- 37:39Speaker 1: how cool would it be if we could share that
- 37:41Speaker 1: in a modern, relevant, practical way for the people that
- 37:44Speaker 1: I grew up with, who maybe wouldn't do this, who
- 37:46Speaker 1: wouldn't go as far as I did. And so when
- 37:48Speaker 1: I shared that with the monks, they said, you know,
- 37:50Speaker 1: they were like, yeah, you know, we agree that we
- 37:52Speaker 1: think you might be able to help people more if
- 37:54Speaker 1: you left. I think they were like saying, yeah, it's cool.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Leave get out of it, but they encouraged it. For me,
- 38:00Speaker 1: moving on as was actually really difficult. So when I left,
- 38:04Speaker 1: the first thing I did was come back start listening
- 38:06Speaker 1: to Drake m Yeah. I did that. First thing. I
- 38:11Speaker 1: ate a load of chocolate that I hadn't eating for
- 38:13Speaker 1: three years. I went back into all my old bad
- 38:15Speaker 1: habits for the first month that I was back, and
- 38:17Speaker 1: moved back with my parents twenty six years old because
- 38:20Speaker 1: I felt like I'd failed and I was losing this
- 38:22Speaker 1: life I'd committed to. Yeah, I was in debt twenty
- 38:26Speaker 1: five thousand dollars in debt eighteen thousand pounds. School no no, no,
- 38:29Speaker 1: no no from my university days, like going to college.
- 38:32Speaker 1: I've gone to college before. Yeah, what did your parents
- 38:34Speaker 1: think about you going to Monk School and then coming
- 38:37Speaker 1: back home? So when I first told them, my mom
- 38:40Speaker 1: was like, where did we go wrong? Right? You know,
- 38:42Speaker 1: like what did we do wrong? And luckily my you know,
- 38:45Speaker 1: my parents are very forward thinking and they supported me
- 38:48Speaker 1: because they could see my heart was in it. And
- 38:51Speaker 1: I can't really you know, I can't really blame them.
- 38:52Speaker 1: They did a great job and they were really really supportive.
- 38:55Speaker 1: But my extended family was like you're never going to
- 38:56Speaker 1: get a job again, you've been brainwashed. You're never gonna
- 38:59Speaker 1: get my money again, You're never gonna be you know,
- 39:01Speaker 1: all that noise from society basically saying you've just committed
- 39:05Speaker 1: career suicide, and what are you gonna do when it
- 39:08Speaker 1: doesn't work out? So when it didn't work out, I
- 39:11Speaker 1: almost felt like I had made what they were saying true,
- 39:14Speaker 1: and so I kind of came with a lot of
- 39:16Speaker 1: pain and a lot of stress and pressure thinking all
- 39:19Speaker 1: these people were right and maybe I was wrong. We
- 39:22Speaker 1: have more with Jay Shetty when we come back, of course.
- 39:25Speaker 1: He's the host of On Purpose. It's the number one
- 39:27Speaker 1: health and wellness podcast. He's a former monk, and we'll
- 39:29Speaker 1: talk through some more when we come back. It's the
- 39:31Speaker 1: Breakfast Club for morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee. Charlomagne,
- 39:36Speaker 1: the guy we are to Breakfast Club was still kicking
- 39:37Speaker 1: it with Jay Shetty. He's the host of the On
- 39:40Speaker 1: Purpose podcasts, a health and wellness podcast. He's a former monk.
- 39:43Speaker 1: He's a New York Times best selling author, and he's here. Charlomagne.
- 39:46Speaker 1: You know it's so interesting, man. You became a monk
- 39:49Speaker 1: because you felt like it gave you a sense of purpose. Yes,
- 39:52Speaker 1: but then as you were being a monk, you felt
- 39:55Speaker 1: like you might have been suppressing your purpose. You felt
- 39:56Speaker 1: like something was big out there. So that's got to
- 39:58Speaker 1: be psychologically that's a great observation. That is a great
- 40:02Speaker 1: You phrased it way better than I did. That is
- 40:04Speaker 1: a great observation. And that's a psychological mind mess because
- 40:07Speaker 1: you're like, wait, this is And that's when I realized
- 40:09Speaker 1: that your purpose is not what you wear, where you live,
- 40:15Speaker 1: what you think everyone thinks of you, because to some degree,
- 40:19Speaker 1: I'd become attached to living as a monk and that
- 40:21Speaker 1: becoming my purpose. So when I had to disconnect from that,
- 40:23Speaker 1: It's like how we say, oh, my marriage is my purpose,
- 40:26Speaker 1: and then when you get divorced, you're like, oh, well,
- 40:27Speaker 1: I don't have an identity anymore, or my job is
- 40:29Speaker 1: my purpose. When you get kicked out of your job,
- 40:32Speaker 1: you go, oh, I don't have an identity anymore. That's
- 40:34Speaker 1: what it felt like. It felt like a divorce or
- 40:37Speaker 1: losing the job of my dreams, which actually led me
- 40:40Speaker 1: to find my real purpose, which is what I get
- 40:42Speaker 1: to do today, And what was the voice that you
- 40:44Speaker 1: heard told you this is what you should do, this
- 40:46Speaker 1: is the direction you should go with. I feel like
- 40:49Speaker 1: I had it even when I was there where it
- 40:51Speaker 1: was just like, there are people who will never ever
- 40:55Speaker 1: think And this is why I love what you all
- 40:57Speaker 1: do and what you've done with your work, is there
- 41:00Speaker 1: are people that will never ever think about their mental health,
- 41:03Speaker 1: their mental world being about the word meditation or mindfulness
- 41:07Speaker 1: because it wasn't part of their upbringing. It wasn't a
- 41:10Speaker 1: word that they heard, same as me. And if I
- 41:12Speaker 1: can help make that accessible and relevant and practical and
- 41:17Speaker 1: simple for that person, then my life's going to feel
- 41:20Speaker 1: like a success. And so I just started to share
- 41:23Speaker 1: it with everyone. So now I came back. My friends
- 41:25Speaker 1: were all working, they were making money, they were buying homes,
- 41:29Speaker 1: they had nice cars. Maybe they were in a relationship,
- 41:32Speaker 1: but a lot of them were stressed. They were working
- 41:33Speaker 1: in big city jobs, but they were burnt out. And
- 41:37Speaker 1: so they started coming to me for advice. And this
- 41:39Speaker 1: is back in twenty twenty fourteen, and they were saying,
- 41:41Speaker 1: which you learned about mindfulness and meditation, can you help
- 41:44Speaker 1: us with out stress? And so very naturally I started
- 41:47Speaker 1: working with people inside big corporate organizations because that was
- 41:50Speaker 1: my background, and so now I was seeing that impact
- 41:52Speaker 1: on these people. And so I was speaking at companies,
- 41:54Speaker 1: working with people, coaching people, and then finally I took
- 41:58Speaker 1: a corporate job back to understand and what the setup
- 42:01Speaker 1: was like. And my executive that was my lead, she
- 42:05Speaker 1: discovered that I learned meditation. So she put me on
- 42:08Speaker 1: in front of all my peers to teach meditation to
- 42:11Speaker 1: a thousand people at our company event. This is before
- 42:14Speaker 1: any of my online work, and I'm stressing out because
- 42:17Speaker 1: I'm no one. They're like, this is one of our guys,
- 42:20Speaker 1: where he's our peer. What are we going to learn
- 42:21Speaker 1: from him? And it was just a beautiful experience where
- 42:24Speaker 1: everyone appreciated it, and so I got to see how
- 42:28Speaker 1: this work could be practical with people from all different
- 42:31Speaker 1: backgrounds and walks of life. Meditation is a game change.
- 42:35Speaker 1: Could tell people just some of the benefits of meditation. Yeah,
- 42:39Speaker 1: I mean meditation as a ton of benefits. Some of
- 42:41Speaker 1: my favorites are that, of course a boost your moods,
- 42:44Speaker 1: immune system. One of the most interesting parts about meditation
- 42:48Speaker 1: that people don't obviously realize is our life is completely
- 42:52Speaker 1: infiltrated by dopamine. Right, whether it's our phones, whether it's money,
- 42:56Speaker 1: whether it's purchases, whether it's instant buying dope. Mean, is
- 43:00Speaker 1: that constantly being released. A meditation helps us balance because
- 43:04Speaker 1: it creates serotonin and oxytocin. So those are the three
- 43:07Speaker 1: chemicals that your brain needs to balance, and meditation is
- 43:11Speaker 1: one of the key things that actually brings about the
- 43:12Speaker 1: other two. It helps with making sure that your brain's
- 43:16Speaker 1: in sync. It makes sure that you sleep better. I mean,
- 43:18Speaker 1: meditation benefits go on and on and on of course
- 43:20Speaker 1: with anxiety, stress and pressure. But to me, that balancing
- 43:24Speaker 1: of the chemicals we need is it's probably one of
- 43:26Speaker 1: the most powerful. And you know, it's very hard to
- 43:28Speaker 1: find that stillness and that that silence, you know, on
- 43:32Speaker 1: your own. I tried it for years and couldn't grasp
- 43:34Speaker 1: the concept until like the symbol of twenty twenty, but
- 43:39Speaker 1: you helped with the Carmat. Yeah. So I literally just
- 43:43Speaker 1: two days ago we launched the Daily Jay only on
- 43:46Speaker 1: Calm and it's a daily meditation for seven minutes that
- 43:50Speaker 1: I truly believe is going to be a meditation that
- 43:53Speaker 1: each and every person on the planet can tune into
- 43:55Speaker 1: and start their practice, and the goal of it was
- 43:57Speaker 1: to make it as simple so that you can actually
- 44:00Speaker 1: to say, while you're folding your laundry, while you're doing
- 44:02Speaker 1: your dishes, while you're making your bed. The goal was,
- 44:04Speaker 1: how can we bring meditation into people's lives rather than saying,
- 44:08Speaker 1: take out time out of your day to do this.
- 44:11Speaker 1: And so we build this program and it's exciting. I'm
- 44:13Speaker 1: really excited that it's out there. What is meditation? Right?
- 44:15Speaker 1: And the reason I'm asking is, like Charlemagne said, it
- 44:18Speaker 1: took him a while to get it. Yeah, So for
- 44:20Speaker 1: people out there, what is getting meditation? What should they
- 44:22Speaker 1: be feeling? What should they be seeing? What should they
- 44:24Speaker 1: be doing? What should they you know, should they be
- 44:26Speaker 1: sitting in the corner, should they be you know, criss
- 44:29Speaker 1: cross apple cross apple sauce? So they have their hands
- 44:32Speaker 1: up like, what is it? Yes? So no, it's a
- 44:34Speaker 1: great question. It's a great question. I think it's so important.
- 44:37Speaker 1: I think the first thing I'd like to say is
- 44:38Speaker 1: that meditation is making time to spend with yourself, as
- 44:42Speaker 1: simple as that. Right. You make time to check in
- 44:44Speaker 1: with your friends, your family, your partners, your kids. When
- 44:47Speaker 1: was the last time you checked him with yourself. Some
- 44:49Speaker 1: people to say I meditate what I drive because I'm
- 44:50Speaker 1: just driving. That's and that's a great example. And that's
- 44:54Speaker 1: a great example, and I actually agree with you. I
- 44:56Speaker 1: love thinking about life when I'm driving and talking to
- 44:58Speaker 1: myself and figuring things out. That is a form of meditation.
- 45:02Speaker 1: That is a beginning step towards meditation. Now, when you
- 45:05Speaker 1: start getting into meditation as a tool, it goes beyond
- 45:08Speaker 1: that because now you're bringing your awareness to three different
- 45:11Speaker 1: types of things in the way I was trained. So
- 45:13Speaker 1: you have breathwork. When you're focusing on your breath, you're
- 45:15Speaker 1: learning to navigate your emotions. Second one is visualization. A
- 45:19Speaker 1: lot of athletes use this before big games. Lewis Hamilton,
- 45:23Speaker 1: I've heard, used it before he's driving a car. Soccer
- 45:26Speaker 1: stars use it before they take a free kick. Where
- 45:27Speaker 1: you're visualizing what's happening in your life or what you're
- 45:30Speaker 1: about to do. What it does is it prepares your body,
- 45:33Speaker 1: It prepares the mind, right, So visualization is a way
- 45:36Speaker 1: of meditating. And the third one is mantra or sound.
- 45:39Speaker 1: So we all know, I mean, you're in the heart
- 45:41Speaker 1: of music. We all know that music can make you
- 45:44Speaker 1: feel different things. Music can make you feel like you
- 45:46Speaker 1: want to beat someone up, and music can make you
- 45:48Speaker 1: feel calm. Sounds and mantra really are defined to help
- 45:53Speaker 1: you have sounds that bring peace and calm to the
- 45:55Speaker 1: mind and body. So those are three different types of meditation.
- 45:58Speaker 1: Doesn't matter where you're sitting, It doesn't matter how you're sitting,
- 46:01Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether you're wearing a yoga suit or
- 46:04Speaker 1: on a yoga mat. That really isn't the point. The
- 46:07Speaker 1: point is are you taking time to build that practice
- 46:11Speaker 1: in that habit. Yeah, mantra su my good sister deVie
- 46:13Speaker 1: Brown mantra and the bees is what got me to
- 46:17Speaker 1: able meditation. So I count my bees and I do
- 46:20Speaker 1: my mantra and it's just like that's what got me.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Like oh okay. When you come to and you're like,
- 46:25Speaker 1: where was That's how it feels like. You're like like
- 46:29Speaker 1: you went into a sleep while you're sitting up, like
- 46:31Speaker 1: you just like like everything just went still for a moment,
- 46:35Speaker 1: like nothing is on your mind. You just hear yourself
- 46:38Speaker 1: repeating your mantra over and over and over, and it's
- 46:40Speaker 1: just like I call it like a sinking feeling almost.
- 46:43Speaker 1: I feel like you're just sinking, sinking, sinking, And I
- 46:46Speaker 1: always jump before I go too deep. That's that's what
- 46:49Speaker 1: makes me come back. Yeah, imagine, imagine you actually felt
- 46:51Speaker 1: like you are where your feet are? Like, imagine you
- 46:54Speaker 1: actually felt like that that we right now, if we
- 46:56Speaker 1: all put our feet on the ground and you actually
- 46:58Speaker 1: felt like I was And what Charlomagne saying about sinking.
- 47:01Speaker 1: If I actually felt like I was actually here? How
- 47:03Speaker 1: many times doing this conversation while I've been talking and
- 47:05Speaker 1: we've been thinking about what have I got for lunch
- 47:07Speaker 1: later on? Or what am I doing later on? Or
- 47:09Speaker 1: who am I meeting? Or what's this going? What if
- 47:11Speaker 1: I was actually here? How much could I actually have
- 47:14Speaker 1: an impact on the people around me? How much could
- 47:16Speaker 1: I actually feel people's energy? How much power and strength
- 47:20Speaker 1: would I have if I was actually where my feet are?
- 47:24Speaker 1: Which is a common phrase and statement that's used in
- 47:27Speaker 1: meditation language. If like be where your feet are, if
- 47:30Speaker 1: we were actually here, just how powerful would that be?
- 47:33Speaker 1: And that's what you feel. You actually feel like, I'm
- 47:35Speaker 1: happy to be here. I am only here because think
- 47:38Speaker 1: about it. When you wake up in the morning, how
- 47:40Speaker 1: many times have you over woken up and your mind
- 47:42Speaker 1: is ahead of your body. Your body's like I don't
- 47:45Speaker 1: want to go anywhere, and your mind's like racing trying
- 47:47Speaker 1: to do a million things. Or you experienced the opposite.
- 47:50Speaker 1: You wake up and your mind is like, come on,
- 47:53Speaker 1: I can't do this, but your body's like, come on,
- 47:55Speaker 1: we gotta go, we gotta go. So what we're experiencing
- 47:57Speaker 1: at all times is our body and mind completely out
- 48:00Speaker 1: of sync, completely out of seen. They're never in the
- 48:03Speaker 1: same place. So meditation and it's simplest for him is saying, well,
- 48:07Speaker 1: let's start here, Let's bring them back into sync. Let's
- 48:09Speaker 1: start with them being aligned, and imagine how powerful we
- 48:12Speaker 1: could do. All Right, we have more with Jay Shetty
- 48:14Speaker 1: when we come back. Of course. He's the host of
- 48:17Speaker 1: On Purpose. It's the number one health and wellness podcast.
- 48:19Speaker 1: He's a form of monk and we'll talk to him
- 48:20Speaker 1: someone when we come back. It's a breakfast club. Good
- 48:23Speaker 1: morning e j Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We
- 48:26Speaker 1: are to breakfast club. Were still kicking it with Jay Shetty.
- 48:29Speaker 1: He's the host of the On Purpose podcasts, a health
- 48:31Speaker 1: and wellness podcast. He's a former monk. He's a New
- 48:34Speaker 1: York Times best selling author and he's here, Charlomagne. I
- 48:37Speaker 1: feel like we skipped a step right. Yeah, you went
- 48:39Speaker 1: from being a monk um sir for a monk for
- 48:41Speaker 1: three years. You couldn't find a job, he said. You
- 48:43Speaker 1: got rejected about forty different forty companies. Yeah, at what
- 48:47Speaker 1: point did the on Purpose podcast start? Between that and
- 48:51Speaker 1: the So I left being amongk in twenty thirteen, I
- 48:54Speaker 1: started in twenty ten, unpurposed LUNs in twenty nineteen, okay,
- 48:58Speaker 1: so six years later, and my online video content started
- 49:01Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. So in twenty sixteen, after I'd been
- 49:05Speaker 1: sharing meditation and mindfulness with corporations, coaching people behind the
- 49:09Speaker 1: scenes and never made any content, I just felt that
- 49:12Speaker 1: I was sitting in a lot of boardrooms, which was fantastic,
- 49:15Speaker 1: but I felt this message had to get further than
- 49:17Speaker 1: the boardroom. And at the time I was thinking how
- 49:20Speaker 1: do I do this? And so I was applying to
- 49:23Speaker 1: media companies that I was like, Hey, if these guys
- 49:26Speaker 1: give me a job, then I can make content about
- 49:27Speaker 1: mindfulness and meditation. And I was rejected from three media companies.
- 49:30Speaker 1: I remember chasing an exact on his bike in London
- 49:33Speaker 1: and saying hey, give me a job. And he was like,
- 49:35Speaker 1: you're too old? Is that after you said that? I
- 49:38Speaker 1: guess it was the president or CEO asked you to
- 49:40Speaker 1: do that, correct, So that's when you felt like that
- 49:42Speaker 1: was your calling? Yeah, because I was like, Wow, I'm
- 49:44Speaker 1: being asked to do this. It's working, but it needs
- 49:47Speaker 1: to reach more people, and it needs to reach more
- 49:50Speaker 1: people without just their organization being involved. What if it
- 49:54Speaker 1: could read to person on this street? Right? How do
- 49:56Speaker 1: you get to that person? And so I thought media
- 49:58Speaker 1: is the way. And so I was appli to all
- 50:00Speaker 1: these media jobs, but everyone kept telling me you're not
- 50:03Speaker 1: You're too you're too old. I was twenty eight years old.
- 50:05Speaker 1: They're like, you're too old. Everyone's twenty one who wants
- 50:07Speaker 1: this job? They were like, you don't have any background
- 50:09Speaker 1: in media, You've never been in communications. And so I
- 50:12Speaker 1: ended up at a TV training day run by the
- 50:14Speaker 1: BBC in London in Pinewood Studios and it was run
- 50:17Speaker 1: for ethnic minorities. So there were just six brown and
- 50:20Speaker 1: black people in that room and I'm one of them
- 50:23Speaker 1: and they tell me, Jay, you're you're good, like you're engaging,
- 50:25Speaker 1: you can present well. So I'm like, give me a job,
- 50:27Speaker 1: like I just want to shot. And they're like, Jay,
- 50:29Speaker 1: there's no jobs in media. And so I'm like, come on,
- 50:31Speaker 1: you brought me all the way here, like you know,
- 50:33Speaker 1: six brown and black people to tell us there's no
- 50:35Speaker 1: jobs in media. What was what was the point of this?
- 50:38Speaker 1: And they're like, well, you should start a YouTube channel.
- 50:41Speaker 1: And in my head, I'm thinking, yeah, that works for
- 50:42Speaker 1: Justin Bieber. That's not going to work for me, you know,
- 50:45Speaker 1: And I'm having that limiting I was like, thank you,
- 50:51Speaker 1: maybe not maybe not yea and that uh and literally
- 50:54Speaker 1: it was like I was like, maybe that worked for
- 50:55Speaker 1: Justin Bieber, like that's and I had that limiting belief.
- 50:57Speaker 1: I was like, that's not going to work for me.
- 50:59Speaker 1: But literally, there's a beautiful statement by Thomas Edison. He said,
- 51:03Speaker 1: when you believe you've exhausted all options, remembered this you haven't.
- 51:08Speaker 1: And that's how I felt. I felt I had exhausted
- 51:10Speaker 1: all options and the only option that I had left
- 51:12Speaker 1: was YouTube if I really cared about this, So I
- 51:15Speaker 1: made a video and I kept making videos every week
- 51:17Speaker 1: and they're doing okay, They're getting like a thousand views
- 51:19Speaker 1: or something like that. And in three months, Arianna Huffington
- 51:23Speaker 1: saw my videos from the Huffing and Post and so
- 51:26Speaker 1: she really connected with them, and they said, hey, j look,
- 51:28Speaker 1: we're not gonna pay you anything, We're not gonna do anything.
- 51:30Speaker 1: We're gonna take your videos. We're gonna put them on
- 51:32Speaker 1: the Huffing in Post page because we like your content.
- 51:34Speaker 1: What do you think. I'm like, great, let's get them
- 51:36Speaker 1: out there, right, like, that's what this is about. Smart
- 51:38Speaker 1: you recognized the opportunity when it wasn't a pache. Yeah, yeah,
- 51:40Speaker 1: there was no pageckets nobody. They put it out. The
- 51:42Speaker 1: first video did a million views in a week, The
- 51:45Speaker 1: second video did a million views in twenty four hours.
- 51:48Speaker 1: And those three or four videos I made for them
- 51:50Speaker 1: did like a hundred million views across that year. And
- 51:52Speaker 1: literally it just changed everything because now the message was
- 51:56Speaker 1: reaching people. And then I sent her right hand man
- 51:59Speaker 1: who's a good friend of mine now, Danny Shay. He
- 52:01Speaker 1: was the one who'd come out to make this contact happen.
- 52:04Speaker 1: I message him every day saying, when an't you giving
- 52:07Speaker 1: me a job? When he gave me a job, when
- 52:09Speaker 1: are you giving me a job? Finally, after thirty days,
- 52:11Speaker 1: he sent me a visa sent me a job off
- 52:13Speaker 1: for a move to New York City in twenty sixteen
- 52:15Speaker 1: September to work at The Half Post as a senior
- 52:17Speaker 1: hosting producer. That lasted around six months. I mean, the
- 52:21Speaker 1: way you're speaking is great because it's not even about
- 52:23Speaker 1: the meditation and what you're speaking, it's just about a
- 52:25Speaker 1: lot of people don't have that drive. You were told
- 52:28Speaker 1: no a thousands of times, but still did it. You know,
- 52:31Speaker 1: you did something that you had no idea about YouTube.
- 52:34Speaker 1: Then when they came with a situation, most people now
- 52:36Speaker 1: would be like, well, how much am I getting paid? Now?
- 52:38Speaker 1: You want to use my contact? And he was like, nah,
- 52:40Speaker 1: I understand what this could be and congratulating. I love
- 52:42Speaker 1: I love stories like that. Thank you, and thank you
- 52:45Speaker 1: for highlighting that. I really appreciate the way you're looking
- 52:47Speaker 1: at it over time, Like, yeah, you come up here
- 52:49Speaker 1: and be like how much I'm getting paid? But I'm
- 52:50Speaker 1: not doing this because I ain't get no money if
- 52:52Speaker 1: the tests. But somethings ain't about the money. We came
- 52:54Speaker 1: from a place where we both worked for a long
- 52:56Speaker 1: terms about the opportunity, but we knew hopefully well we
- 52:58Speaker 1: didn't even know. We did it for love. I did
- 53:00Speaker 1: it for love, and it just grew into what it
- 53:02Speaker 1: grew into. So I really respect and appreciate that. We
- 53:05Speaker 1: thank you for highlighting that because I think sometimes, you know,
- 53:07Speaker 1: we get lost in, especially when people talk to me,
- 53:09Speaker 1: we get lost in like the meditation and the mindfulness,
- 53:11Speaker 1: and it's like, that is my heart of what I
- 53:13Speaker 1: want to share. But the way I've got there has
- 53:15Speaker 1: not been normal or easy or you know, it's but
- 53:19Speaker 1: that's been the most fun part about it. Like I
- 53:22Speaker 1: think I always wanted to serve. My whole goal was
- 53:25Speaker 1: how can this reach more people? And when half Post
- 53:27Speaker 1: or anyone came with that opportunity and thankfully after six months,
- 53:30Speaker 1: I built in myself. I got to do it my way,
- 53:32Speaker 1: on my own, and I got to build it on
- 53:34Speaker 1: my first guest. My first big guest was Russell Brand
- 53:37Speaker 1: who I've known for a long time. We have the
- 53:39Speaker 1: same meditation teacher. We've been friends in London for a while.
- 53:43Speaker 1: So Russell Brown was my first big guest. My first
- 53:44Speaker 1: ever guest was my wife. It was my first episode.
- 53:47Speaker 1: Well she was your first big guest. Yeah, that was
- 53:49Speaker 1: my first yeah, oh yeah, thank you. Yeah I messed
- 53:51Speaker 1: that up. Yeah, I messed that up. Yeah, my wife
- 53:53Speaker 1: was my first big Yeah. Russell Brown was my first
- 53:55Speaker 1: well known guest. Novak Djokovic tennis player who I've known
- 53:58Speaker 1: for a while as well, he was one of my
- 54:00Speaker 1: first big guest. Uh And then you know, since then,
- 54:02Speaker 1: it's just been a joy to sit down with people
- 54:05Speaker 1: that yeah, I had till this day. And I'm not
- 54:10Speaker 1: just saying it because of what happened, and I don't
- 54:13Speaker 1: I wish I didn't even have to say that, but
- 54:14Speaker 1: I do because I think people try and make things
- 54:17Speaker 1: a certain way. But I have never felt someone more
- 54:22Speaker 1: present and grounded in his feet apart from monks, than
- 54:26Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant. Like when I spoke to him, I choose
- 54:29Speaker 1: there was so much gravity around him, and when he
- 54:33Speaker 1: spoke his voice as well, it had so much presence.
- 54:36Speaker 1: And that was two three months before the tragic event.
- 54:42Speaker 1: So his his team had reached out and they said, Jay,
- 54:44Speaker 1: we want Kobe to have a conversation with someone who
- 54:47Speaker 1: isn't only obsessed with basketball. And I said to him,
- 54:51Speaker 1: I liked basketball, but I didn't grow up like soccer
- 54:54Speaker 1: is my first sport, right football. I'm from England, That's
- 54:56Speaker 1: that's my thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why I
- 54:59Speaker 1: had to try it's late for because then my British
- 55:01Speaker 1: friends make fun of me for saying Suker, so I've
- 55:03Speaker 1: got to you know. But yeah, Christiano Ronaldo, like, that's
- 55:06Speaker 1: that's my goat, right, Like that's the person I go to.
- 55:09Speaker 1: But obviously have so much respect for Kobe. Obviously I
- 55:11Speaker 1: love I love basketball, genuine enjoy watching it. And so
- 55:14Speaker 1: they said, but we want someone who talks to him
- 55:16Speaker 1: about storytelling about him, about his heart, about meditation, about
- 55:20Speaker 1: the stuff that he doesn't get to talk about because
- 55:22Speaker 1: every time he goes to an interview, people just to
- 55:24Speaker 1: ask him basketball questions. What was he like to play
- 55:26Speaker 1: in that game? What was he like to learn from this?
- 55:28Speaker 1: So they they've reached out to him, and I said,
- 55:30Speaker 1: this is a dream, like I feel honored, and so
- 55:33Speaker 1: we did that. That's how the podcast came about. I
- 55:35Speaker 1: didn't I didn't know him or I didn't have a
- 55:36Speaker 1: relationship with him, but in that short time that we
- 55:39Speaker 1: spent together, he walked into the room and he came
- 55:42Speaker 1: around to my whole team and he introduces Kobe Kobe
- 55:47Speaker 1: like to my video, and you know, everyone's geeking out
- 55:49Speaker 1: because everyone knows who he is. It doesn't have to,
- 55:51Speaker 1: but he was so respectful, so wonderful with the whole team.
- 55:54Speaker 1: They'll never forget that experience. Jay, we appreciate. I was
- 55:57Speaker 1: going to ask, can we meditate? But we really can't
- 55:59Speaker 1: because we need seven I mean it will be deadier
- 56:01Speaker 1: for seven minutes. Oh we can do it for lesson seven.
- 56:02Speaker 1: We can do it. Yeah, yeah we can. How long
- 56:04Speaker 1: do you give me your time limit? And then I'll
- 56:05Speaker 1: stick to that. Let's do a minute. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, okay,
- 56:09Speaker 1: let's do it. And everyone who's listening can join in
- 56:11Speaker 1: as well. So what I wanted, okay, okay, so what
- 56:16Speaker 1: do whatever you want to do is just take a
- 56:18Speaker 1: moment to look around wherever they are. So keep your
- 56:20Speaker 1: eyes open, and I want you to just notice five
- 56:24Speaker 1: things in this space. Choose five things in your environment
- 56:30Speaker 1: and bring your awareness to them. The colors, the textures,
- 56:35Speaker 1: the fonts, whatever it may be, just five things, and
- 56:39Speaker 1: when you found them, close your eyes, taking a deep breath. Now,
- 56:44Speaker 1: what are four things that you can touch and just
- 56:48Speaker 1: be present with it. It could be your jacket, the
- 56:51Speaker 1: chair you're sitting on, your own hands. Four things that
- 56:56Speaker 1: you can touch notice the difference in the coolness and
- 57:00Speaker 1: a texture. Taking another deep breath, what are three things
- 57:05Speaker 1: that you can hear there? Maybe some white noise, the
- 57:10Speaker 1: sound of my voice, maybe even a voice in the
- 57:14Speaker 1: back of your head. Three things you can hear, Just
- 57:18Speaker 1: observe and be present, don't fight them. Just bring your
- 57:23Speaker 1: awareness back to your breath, breathe in. What are two
- 57:28Speaker 1: things you can smell? Maybe the beautiful sage that we
- 57:31Speaker 1: have here in the studio or the palace center. Maybe
- 57:35Speaker 1: a fragrance, it diffuses some food. Taking a deep breath,
- 57:41Speaker 1: And what's one thing you can taste? Maybe water breakfast?
- 57:47Speaker 1: And now, in a moment, when you gently and softly,
- 57:51Speaker 1: in your own time, at your own pace, you open
- 57:53Speaker 1: your eyes, you'll experience full presence. Can open your eyes, man,
- 58:00Speaker 1: I love to sound a white noise. I love the
- 58:03Speaker 1: things you see behind your eyelids. And I've been stressing
- 58:07Speaker 1: to my heart that we need a mindfulness minute on
- 58:11Speaker 1: all radio stations, like we need whether it's j could
- 58:14Speaker 1: be Jetty, it could be Debbie Brown. We need a
- 58:16Speaker 1: mindful this minute, like a few times throughout the day,
- 58:21Speaker 1: especially during like the ten am the two pm slot,
- 58:24Speaker 1: when it's mid days and people at work every nine
- 58:26Speaker 1: and then you just got to take a break, like
- 58:28Speaker 1: we got to do exactly what we did just now.
- 58:30Speaker 1: So when we call you, Jay, answer the phone the opportunity.
- 58:34Speaker 1: Thank you, Go get j Stty's book, Think Like a
- 58:37Speaker 1: monk Um, subscribe to them on Purpose podcast with Jay Setty,

- 58:51Speaker 1: Oh it's a wrong. But after being ordered to pay
- 59:04Speaker 1: CARDI b upwards of four million dollars, bloggerd Taisha Kay
- 59:09Speaker 1: is saying that it was the machine and corporate interests
- 59:13Speaker 1: that was the reason why she lost. Here's what she
- 59:15Speaker 1: had to say. We called bluff against a machine that
- 59:20Speaker 1: wanted to bully me for not wavering from my personal beliefs.
- 59:24Speaker 1: A machine that has corporate interests to protect prostitution, drug
- 59:29Speaker 1: youth promiscuity, and to glorify the violence that rex having
- 59:34Speaker 1: on our society and in our neighborhoods. It's sold to
- 59:38Speaker 1: our children as the it factor. Although the court hasn't
- 59:43Speaker 1: instructed us to take the videos down, I've always said
- 59:46Speaker 1: that I would comply with any court or jury. The
- 59:49Speaker 1: videos have been taken down to show good faith to
- 59:52Speaker 1: the courts. This machine has tried to have me arrested,
- 59:56Speaker 1: threatened my life, and created a fake narrative about I mean,
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: I mean you lied. You know what I'm saying. You
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: lied about somebody maliciously, with malicious intent. Cardi B's records.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: She had to go and get tested to see if
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: she had herpes because you were spreading this rumor and
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: it wasn't true. That's a lie, right, And sometimes you
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: just got to take a step back and really see
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: what God is trying to show you. You know, it's
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: not about likes, it's not about going viral, it's not
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: about donating now, subscribe now. Sometimes just take a step
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: back and see what God is trying to show you.
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: Weapons for him to getst You will not prosper, but
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: they will if you are the weapon. And it's sad
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: when people simply can't take accountability or simply admit when
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: they're wrong. It shows a lack of integrity and reminds
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: folks while you're in the position you are in now.
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: And I respect Cardi B so much because that that
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: that court case took time. It took money. She had
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: to take this stand. That's not easy. Let it go
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: because she CARTI don't need the money. She had to things.
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: She did it to set to set an example, and
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: she did so. Shout took Cardi B and listen. I
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: hope all YouTubers podcast as bloggers. You know, all all
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: you folks in this new media space. Remember, small people
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: learn from their own mistakes. Wise people learn from the
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: mistakes of others. Even if you know she doesn't learn
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: from her mistakes, you should hasn't learned, and she is
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: saying that she's appealing. This case was meant to drain
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: me financially and it did not, and send a message
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: to anyone who thinks they have the right to challenge
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: a machine that protects their corporate interests. The appeal process
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: has already started and we intend to expose every conspiracy
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: against me, my company, and my family. There was no defamation,
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: no invasion of privacy, and suicidal thoughts, and we proved
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: that with sufficient factual evidence, and we intend to fight
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: until the truth is out. I don't think you can
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: prove that somebody didn't have suicidal thought. You don't know
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: what's inside a person's he's that's not gonna fly. But
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: that's not good advice. Whoever gave you that advice to
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: put more money into terrible situation, that's not good. He
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: has any friends, they need to be that girl. You
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: gotta just relax. This is a landmark case that every
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: lawyer in the world will be referencing from now on.

- 1:04:29Speaker 1: don't give the day for Thursday, January twenty seven goes
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: to thirty four year old Travis Nearly. Now. I'm sure
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: everyone listening to my voice has heard that Albert Einstein quote.
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: and expecting different results. Well, because I've gotten old, I
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: see that statement differently. There's a lot of things we
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: do over and over again and expect different results. Like
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: played a lottery I played Mega millions in Powerball over
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: and over again, expecting different results. Okay, I'm used to losing.
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: Sometimes I went four dollars, sometimes I win seven. Last
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: week I bought a Mega million and Powerball ticket and
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: I won nine dollars, career high for me. Drop one
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: of Ko's bombs for my career high of nine dollars
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: with the Mega million powerball. Okay, all right for me,
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: those were all different results, and I will continue to
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: play over and over again because I want that ultimate result,
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: which is all five numbers and the powerball that jackpot baby.
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: So yes, we do things over and over and expect
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: different results. Sometimes folks do the same things over and
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: over again because they know exactly what they are going
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: to get. They do the same thing over and over
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: again because they know what the result is going to be.
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: And that's what happened in Jersey City. See Travis Nearly
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: robbed the spot called Augie's Grocery Delhi. He didn't rob
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: it once, he didn't rob it twice. He didn't rob
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: it three times. He robbed it four times. Why did
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: he keep doing the same thing over and over Not
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: because he expected a different result, but because he knew
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: what the result was going to be. He thought it
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: was an easy lick. Let's go to source twelve report
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: police in his thirty two years running Aggie's Delhi Grocery
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: on Old Bergen Road. This was a first surveillance video
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: from January tenth shows a masked man coming behind the
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: counter and charging at seventy seven year old Aggie Lopez
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: and came on top of me and the banging me,
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: and I'm saying what. Then he says he stole a
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: few cigars, but it wasn't enough. He came back five
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: days later, knocked Aggie to the ground and got away
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: with cash. He then came back the very next day
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: again more money. Then for the fourth time in eleven days,
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: he came back, same guy, same clothes, and this time
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: he jumped over with a counting but this time he
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: had as a bride. We had a police officer here
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: and they grabbed him. I saw this in passing on
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: the news because of course I live in Jersey, and
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: the first thing I thought was what a coward robbing
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: that old man, hitting that old man over the head.
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: Then I heard the Delhi on and say we will
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: be ready when he comes back. But I said, he's
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: not coming back, because I didn't realize he already had
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: came three times. Pause, whoa, whoa, hey, yo, Now here's
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: the thing. Travis Neely might be insane, all right, this
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: is who Albert Einstein wrote the quote for. Because when
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: you talk about doing the same thing over and over
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: and expecting different results. I'm positive Albert Einstein wasn't talking
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: about crimes, all right. He might have been talking about workouts, Okay,
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: not about crimes, all right. If he was robbing people,
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: if he was robbing places, you wouldn't continue to rob
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: the same individual, would you. You wouldn't continue to rob
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: the same place, would you, Because eventually that person our
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: place you keep hitting, it's gonna prepare for your arrival.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: And that's what happened here. The funniest thing about this
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: news report to me is when it says the Robert
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: Travis Neely was stunned when off duty police officer Maurice Johnson,
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: who had stopped by the check on the store that
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: already got robbed three times, jumped out from the back
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: of the store. I know what you're thinking, Okay, what
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: drug was Travis on? All right? This ain't normal. You
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: don't rob the same store four times and then I
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: surprised when the officer pops out on the fourth time.
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: That's how that's like. I went. Taylor Swift, you know,
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: acts fake surprise that she's winning an award. Taylor, you
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: know you were winning. Okay, wait, Uncle Charlotte don't get distracted.
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: What drug was Travis on? Well, he was rushed to
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: the Jersey Jersey City Medical Center after his arrest due
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: to possibly being under the influence of CDs. Now I'm old.
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: I see acronyms. I don't know what they mean. The
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: more I saw CDs, I was like, under the influence
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: of CDs. But what the hell drug is CDs? I
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: had no idea, So I did some research and by
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: research I mean Google and all it means it's controlled
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: dangerous substance. Okay, I just thought it was something new.
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: But it's the same old, same old heroin, opioid dope,
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: dog food. Okay, look, it sounds to me like Travis
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: nearly needs to change his daily routine. You robbed the
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: same Delhi four times in eleven days. You probably need
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: to change your routine. Actually, you need to change your life,
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: your whole life, Travis. But it starts with changing your routine,
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: and robbing shouldn't be part of your routine. Okay. Moral
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: of this story for everyone listening is you will never
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: change your life and tell you change something you do daily.
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: The secret of your success is found in your daily
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: routine routine, especially if your routine is Robbing the same
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: person multiple times is not progress. Please let me give
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: Travis nearly the biggest he hall he ha, he ha,
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: You stupid mother? Are you dumb? Now? I wish the
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: old man would have had a gun and shot his ass.
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: That's what I'm telling you. Come to the store four times,
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: you hit me over the head every now and then
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: you're asking to get that shot. I don't like to
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: promote violence, no, but I promote self defense and defended
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: yourself and property. Hit me over the head. I could
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: have hit my head and died. Now, you should have
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: got shot. He lucky. Ain't your shot a good time?
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: And he deserved the bullet. And the hood should have
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: beat his ass for going into the store beating up
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: an old man like that. I'm sure they will. He's
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: probably enjailed. Like man, you robbed all. He's all. He's
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: got the best sandwich is said Daly too. God damn it,
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: I just burned my finger, My dumb ass, talk about
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: doing the same thing over and over. I keep flicking
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: the damn light and knowing it's hot as hell. Don't
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: burn your finger, Yeah, I'm sure all right? Well next,

- 1:10:36Speaker 1: New York, Good morning, good morning, Good morning world. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: there we go. All right, So what happened was all right,
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: just recently a young lady call me, y'all, and I
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: used to deal with and she was married. She is
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: Mavbie now, but when I first started talking to her,
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: wasn't mavvy you was kind of eighty but just like
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen. So after we would eating come to
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: find out she had her boyfriend, baby daddy, and so
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: I left alone. Okay, so we've been cool. All emotions,
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: you know, rang out. We've been cool over the years.
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: But the problem is recently talk about twenty nineteen. You know,
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: you don't know what to do. She's going through counsel
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: and but I'm like, but what should I do? Um, well,
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: she's still married, right, okay? And are you doing anything
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: with her? Okay? So here's my thing. It feels a
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: little messy over there. So how's your life outside of that? Well,
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: you know, the only person I fired that like go
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: out on the DAP for empty life. So I'm kind
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: of right, it feels too messy. I wouldn't voluntarily put
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: myself in a situation with somebody who already when you
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: first met her, was involved and you had to step
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: away from that. And you know, now she's married, she
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: has to make some decisions, and so I don't feel
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: like I would want to put myself in the middle
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: of that. You know, that's kind of like and I
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: could tell you're asking about it because you care about her,
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: you miss her, But yes, right, But you know, I
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: think that you just can't accept certain things for yourself,
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: and your standards have to be high enough that you say, look,
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: as a friend, you know, I'm hoping to everything you
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: got you get it together. If you're not in a
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: relationship anymore. If you're not married anymore, then that's a
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: consideration we can take. But I don't think you should
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: put yourself that's you know, that's just not a situation
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: you should voluntarily be in. True right now, right you
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: know a lot of options are coming my way at
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: the moment, you know, because of the pandemic. To all
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: of that, you know, don't make your life more complicated.
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: And I also feel like sometimes when you do that,
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: you kind of block out what could be with some
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: with the right person. And she may not be the
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: right person you, but she has a responsibility also and
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: for herself to figure out what she's doing in her
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: life and her relationship before she can even move on, right, true.
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: And I just don't want you to get hurt. Oh,
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: I ain't gonna get hurt. It's okay. It's somebody that
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: you care about, that's with somebody else, that's already done
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: something that, whether or not you admit it, hurt you
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: in the past because you ended up having a step away,
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: and then because you care about her, she's come back.
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: But it's not ideal for you exactly. Thank you, man,

- 1:14:47Speaker 1: they get into the relationship and they might find out
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: or they girl or boy frand teller whatever, that they
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: was in the threesome before they had gotten to the
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: relationship with the person they w boy, did you and
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: byted you? You know what. It did bothered me for
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: a minute because her when we were asking, when we
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: were talking about it, when we was you know how
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: relationships start, y'all just friends, you know, y'all getting to
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: know each other and everything is kind of like spoke freely.
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: So when she first you know what, she asked me
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: if I had one? I'm like, yeah, I had about
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: four maybe five. Then I asked her, she comes she
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: never had one. Then we got, you know, in the relationship,
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: things got, you know, been together for a by the year,
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: there's all the sudden that she tells me that she
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: did have one. You know, it came up again and
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: she tells me that she did. So I did feel
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: a way about it, for sure. Did you feel a
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: way that she lied to you initially or did you
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: feel a way that she had a three seth It
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: was it was a little bit of both. It was
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: a little bit of both. She probably didn't want you
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: to judge her because people look at women differently all
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: the time. On our sexual experiences, there's a lot of judgment.
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: But I do you feel like when somebody tells you
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: something that places a lot of trust in you and
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: in the relationship, and you can't really hold things over
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: people's head from when they met, were from what happened
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: before you, right, you know, the only issue is that
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: she didn't tell the truth initially. But you guys were
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: just friends then, right, Yeah, you know, were at that
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: stage where you know, you're getting to know each other.
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: You guys are asking each other question. Right, it was
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: like really no expectations, There was no judgment and then
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: you know what, it was probably the lie you know
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: at first, and then it was you know, I'm thinking
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: about the three from I'm replaying it in my mind,
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: you know, like damn and she were lied to me
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: about it, Like what kind of three from what? Like?
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: I don't know, I just I let my mind get
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: the best them. Right, Well you have four of them,
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: so you know, but yeah, I get it that it
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: was a lie. But you have to also understand that
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: women are judged constantly all the time to this day.
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: It's really bad. And so sometimes when you don't know
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: somebody well enough, you don't know if we're gonna end
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: up together. I don't want to tell you too much,
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: and then you take this and then you know it
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: comes back up. I also got to see how you're
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: gonna treat me. Are you gonna look at me crazy?
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: So I'm sure that she felt a little bit like,
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I could trust him enough to
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: share this with him? Right right, right right? But you
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: over right now right? Oh yeah, I've been over when
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: you asked me. When the person asked me right what
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: you're gonna ask you, I'm like, uh, yeah, I didn't
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: feel away about this, So yeah, let me ask you
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: about this. Are y'all gonna have a threesome? No? We
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: probably she probably is not gonna have a threation with me.
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: I'm not even interested in having no threesothing like that.
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: That's that's that's I have better sex with with, you know,
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: with just one woman, then then I've had any three them,
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: all right, And that's real. And at least you have
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: the chance to experience those things before to know that
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: you know you live your life and then you settle
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: down with the person who you want to be with,
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: right right, Okay, thank you, Yeah, I appreciate y'all. Love y'all,
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: bro ask ye eight hundred five eight five one O
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: five one. If you need relationship advice, you could always
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: hit in. Now you got rumors on the way, Janet Jackson.
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: This documentary, a two night documentary event, is primaring tomorrow.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: We'll tell you some more that you can expect to see.
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: There's a surprise appearance. All right, we'll get into that next.
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: is the Rumor Report with Angela Ye. Well, Kanye wants
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: to help out with the homeless crisis in LA and
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: he wants to get them to model some clothes. Okay.
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: He is working with streetwear brand skid Roll Fashion Week
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: on a new collab and fashion show. The ultimate goal
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: is to help out the homeless. David's Bashion, who is
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: the founder of skid Roll Fashion Week, told tim Z
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: he met with Kanye earlier this month while he was
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: recording Donda two at his studio and they decided to
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: create a easy skid Row Fashion Week clothing collab. He
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: said the company donates a portion of all sales to
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: helping those living on skid Row, and the factory that
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: makes the clothes employees the homeless, and that Easy collabor
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: use one hundred percent of the proceeds to help the
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: homeless on skid Row. In the Drop February twenty second,
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: that's dope. I didn't know skid Row had a fashion show.
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: Skid Role we having a fashion I didn't know they
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: had a fashion And how does that work? And am
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: I thinking about this correctly when I say when I
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: hear skid roll fashion show? Or am I is that
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: just the name for something? Well, it's the name of
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: it's a it's a clothing line. And then they're doing
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: a fashion show, so they don't take actual you know,
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: I don't know, it's placed people and let them walk
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: the runway. Yeah, I don't know if they've done a
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: fashion show before. Dope, though, if they paid the homeless
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: people to actually to do a fashion show and bring
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: people to where they from and make sure that they
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: keep those clothes and pay them I think about stuff
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: like that, it would be dope. But that's like a
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: one time payment, Like, how do you hope those people
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: permanently is you know what I mean? So well, they
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: already have them working in the factory for a skid
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: Row Fashion Week, so that's one of the things that
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: they do. And like we said, the p of the proceeds.
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: But they're saying one hundred percent of this clothing collab
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: is going to go to help out the homeless, I hope.
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: So because you don't want them to be homeless anymore,
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: that that should be the goal, right, m Absolutely, And
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: they're saying that one thing that they're kicking around as
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: an idea is a trash bag puffer jacket. So I
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: mean that's dope. And the reason another reason that because
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: folks you know, would make jokes and say the clothes
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: that Kanye may look like homeless folks to whim anyway,
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: they do say that, But I think that would be
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: dope if you could pay the homeless people to do
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: it and have people come down. It's dope to flip
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: that narrative. Correct, you make the jokes about me, but
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: watch what I'll do with this, all right? Nick even
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: Nach has confirmed that she has a collab but little
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: Baby that is arriving On February fourth, she posted a
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: picture on set with little Baby and said, do we
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: have a problem baby times barbe pink Friday, February fourth, Okay,
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: so get ready for that. I want to hear that,
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: all right. Janet Jackson, you know her documentary, that two
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: part documentary is coming out tomorrow. Oh, no, tomorrow's tomorrow Friday. Yes,
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: I don't know what day it is. Yeah, so that's
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: going to be coming out. It's two parts of a
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: lifetime in A and E documentary called Janet, and there's
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: a lot of things that will be discussed. Now. Janet
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: Jackson said her brother teased her about her weight game,
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, and called her names, and she said there
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: were times when Mikey said, tease me and call me pig, horse, slaughterhog, cow.
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: He would laugh about it and I'd laugh too, but
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: there was something down inside that it would hurt. And
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: she said, when you have somebody say you're too heavy,
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: it affects you. She said she and her older brother
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: drifted apart as they grew older, starting with the release
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: of his album Thriller in nineteen eighty two. She said,
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: I really I remember really loving a Thriller album, but
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: for the first time in my life, I felt like
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: it was different between us. A shift was happening. That's
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: the time Mike and I started going our separate ways.
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: He just wasn't as fun as he used to be.
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: And when they worked together on Scream in nineteen ninety five,
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: she felt frozen out by him. She said, Michael shot nights,
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: I shot days. His record company would block off his
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: set so I couldn't see what was going on. They
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: didn't want me on set. That really hurt me because
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: I felt like I was there fighting the fight with him,
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: not to battle him. I wanted to feel like old
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: times between he and I, and it didn't. Old times
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: had long passed. She who knew, I had no idea now.
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: She also shut down rumors of a secret baby with
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: her ex James Debarred. She said, that is not right.
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: Back in the day, she said, how could I keep
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: a child from their father? I could never do that.
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: That's not right. So also, how old were they when
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: they were making these jokes on each other? I mean,
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: if you got brothers and sisters, you make jokes on
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: your brothers. I was gonna say the same thing. I'm
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: an only child, but you know, Madison and Logan, they
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: make old times got an old, two younger brothers and
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: younger sister, Like how old they were? Never do you
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: remember when she gained weight? Like she was a little
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: older when that happened. So she's saying it was it
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: was when the weight gain happened. It sounds like it
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: was when they were kids. When she was penny, she
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: wasn't big, she was really small. When I get in
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: a little way, my kids made fun of me too.
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: They told me a way I need a bra like well,
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: she said, she laughed, but she said it did hurt her.
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: She's right. Why do I feel like? Why do I
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: feel like? I remember Michael saying one of the reasons
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: he got an old because he used to get teased
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: about his nose, about his family members. So there must
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: have been some great jokes in that house. Then there
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: must have been all snapping on each other. I think
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: you have to understand the way that it does hurt
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: people when you say things. They might try to laugh
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: it off in the moment, but it can really have
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: an effect on you. I agree. But you know what
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: that is that that has been a big part of
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: our culture for time, playing the dozens. That's right, snapping
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: on people. Team metal mouth and four eyes and brace face.
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: So I got all that shrimp not just something to
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: be aware of. Right, we still tease folks. All right,
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: let me come here with all that Beijing on his face.
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: You're gonna get these Stop it, man, leave me a little.
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: That is your record. I want to salute to the

- 1:26:51Speaker 1: you know, meet meet you, and year that's going. That's
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: a different feeling. So I really hope y'all get the
