- 10:07Speaker 2: like she did, because I kind of got no, No,
- 10:13Speaker 2: we did not.
- 10:14Speaker 3: But we were just friends.
- 10:16Speaker 10: But it wasn't long after though, that I knew, but
- 10:18Speaker 10: I wouldn't let him know that I that I felt
- 10:21Speaker 10: like he was the one.
- 10:22Speaker 7: I felt like he was the one, but I was like,
- 10:24Speaker 7: I don't know, because you know, David had a little
- 10:26Speaker 7: play in him. When did I realize it was? Probably
- 10:32Speaker 7: it was really.
- 10:33Speaker 10: Some months that because we started singing together early, so
- 10:36Speaker 10: it was some months and David started protecting me, even
- 10:39Speaker 10: like with the other guys because I was the only
- 10:40Speaker 10: girl in the group of singing and he was always like,
- 10:43Speaker 10: y'all don't harsh play singing.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Group, Like, so y'all know me Kirk Franklin and another guy,
- 10:48Speaker 2: Darrel Blair, so Kirk Franklin. I've been friends for like
- 10:51Speaker 2: forty fifty.
- 10:55Speaker 10: So it's just but I just felt like, if it
- 10:58Speaker 10: works out, I said, I said, I really like this dude,
- 11:00Speaker 10: but you know, I just see wait and see up.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Watch his play waves.
- 11:03Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, and his place.
- 11:06Speaker 3: She she actually busted me one time with my with
- 11:09Speaker 3: a couple other girls that I was with, I.
- 11:11Speaker 4: Was just looking. I just look you yourself.
- 11:15Speaker 2: They threw me a surprise birthday party.
- 11:17Speaker 3: Both girls.
- 11:18Speaker 10: No, well we were no, they just we were all
- 11:20Speaker 10: this friends and how you invite people to Okay, we're
- 11:22Speaker 10: gonna do this and listen, we're meeting at this house.
- 11:26Speaker 10: Were meeting at this house. But he brought somebody with him,
- 11:28Speaker 10: so that we didn't know he was gonna bring somebody.
- 11:30Speaker 10: But it was just people that we all knew.
- 11:33Speaker 3: I was doing a little much for real.
- 11:35Speaker 2: That's why I wouldn't hook up with her, because she
- 11:37Speaker 2: was my friend and I knew once I started that
- 11:39Speaker 2: that was it. She wouldn't going to know.
- 11:41Speaker 3: I know that once I said I do, I am,
- 11:44Speaker 3: I will all right, and here I am.
- 11:46Speaker 1: So what do you tell young couples because you said something,
- 11:48Speaker 1: you said, yeah, but you've been together that and never separation. Right,
- 11:51Speaker 1: me and my wife we've been married twenty three years,
- 11:54Speaker 1: been together thirty one, no separations, right. We worked through
- 11:57Speaker 1: every day, good, bad, ugly, whatever. So what do you say,
- 12:00Speaker 1: young couples.
- 12:01Speaker 7: We took the voice off the table.
- 12:03Speaker 10: And the thing is is to sometimes you gotta just
- 12:05Speaker 10: separate in for instance, in the house, to just gather
- 12:08Speaker 10: your thoughts versus like throwing venom, like at the heat
- 12:12Speaker 10: of the moment.
- 12:12Speaker 7: Sometimes you just have to back up, Okay, just take
- 12:15Speaker 7: a minute.
- 12:16Speaker 10: And digest what's happening versus so you won't say piercing
- 12:19Speaker 10: I say piercing things. I've been saying that since the beginning,
- 12:22Speaker 10: because you can say stuff when you're angry, and you
- 12:25Speaker 10: can't take that words back because no matter if somebody
- 12:27Speaker 10: say I'm sorry and I forgive you, but in the
- 12:30Speaker 10: back of your.
- 12:30Speaker 7: Head you still think.
- 12:32Speaker 2: You never try to resolve issues in the middle of
- 12:34Speaker 2: a battle. I mean, you just let it calm down
- 12:37Speaker 2: a little period, just coumel it off a little bit.
- 12:39Speaker 2: When you're trying to resolve stuff in the middle of war,
- 12:42Speaker 2: it gets a little hard because you know early on,
- 12:45Speaker 2: like she say, just I'm quick with quick bit in
- 12:47Speaker 2: my mouth quickly return. So I would just say piercing stuff.
- 12:50Speaker 2: And I just started to see how man, this is
- 12:52Speaker 2: devastating this woman. It's crushing her. So you know, I
- 12:56Speaker 2: just start building her up.
- 12:57Speaker 1: What's the worst battle that you guys got into that?
- 12:59Speaker 1: You remember that it was just nasty and you was
- 13:01Speaker 1: going at her next she was going at your neck.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Okay, So like we talk which one the knock at
- 13:08Speaker 2: the door, the knock at the door, knock at the door.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Imagine this. Imagine she's at work, you at the house,
- 13:16Speaker 2: and the constable knock on the door and say, hey,
- 13:18Speaker 2: here you go, hear the paper. You've been served, you've
- 13:20Speaker 2: been served, say served with what what? Oh? You have
- 13:23Speaker 2: a baby?

- 13:35Speaker 2: The last little here? Yeah?
- 13:41Speaker 11: Yeah.

- 13:46Speaker 2: What you do today?
- 13:47Speaker 3: Oh? I got this another baby?

- 13:55Speaker 1: Took you some time.
- 13:57Speaker 7: Take them some time to get it out.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Her because on the way home, Okay, I'm gonna tell
- 14:01Speaker 2: her like this, so you know, you remember now I

- 14:13Speaker 2: That you know that I had.
- 14:15Speaker 7: And the thing is is he he had to. He
- 14:18Speaker 7: had to, he said, from a previous argument. That's what
- 14:21Speaker 7: he calls it. So but they, you know, two different lady.
- 14:25Speaker 3: Things that have happened my two daughters.
- 14:27Speaker 10: So it's like I told him, I said, Okay, now
- 14:29Speaker 10: I accepted the one because I was there when she
- 14:31Speaker 10: was born.
- 14:32Speaker 7: Because we was she was at the hospital, and I
- 14:34Speaker 7: went to the hospital when when she was born. The
- 14:36Speaker 7: whole twenty one hours, y'all sit there.
- 14:38Speaker 10: But as he came and said this to me about
- 14:40Speaker 10: the other young lady, which I knew about the other
- 14:42Speaker 10: young lady, and I knew that they had been intimate.
- 14:44Speaker 10: I knew they had a thing going, but for how
- 14:47Speaker 10: it was presented, it was rough for me to take.
- 14:49Speaker 1: You know.
- 14:50Speaker 7: I was like, I don't know.
- 14:51Speaker 10: Because the chick, God bless the we in a better
- 14:53Speaker 10: place now, but then she was rough to deal with
- 14:55Speaker 10: right hands on them. I ain't putting the Holy hands
- 14:58Speaker 10: on you. I just had We had words, but not
- 15:00Speaker 10: even to you know what. We talked about it, and
- 15:02Speaker 10: David really pulled me before.
- 15:05Speaker 2: We got that.
- 15:05Speaker 3: It got really bad because she was like, I can't
- 15:08Speaker 3: deal with this.
- 15:08Speaker 2: I'm out.
- 15:09Speaker 3: And I shared with her, like, look, it's me and
- 15:12Speaker 3: you against everything.
- 15:14Speaker 7: That's the breakdown he gave you.
- 15:16Speaker 2: It's me and you against everything else. Because I know
- 15:18Speaker 2: that this is a hard situation to swallow. I know
- 15:21Speaker 2: I put us in a bad situation. I tell my
- 15:23Speaker 2: kids now, I say, look, I put you in a
- 15:26Speaker 2: bad situation because now you got to go over to
- 15:28Speaker 2: your mom's house for Christmas. Okay, I'm going to have Thanksgiving.
- 15:31Speaker 2: I say, that's a hard place to put kids. And
- 15:34Speaker 2: I say, I take full responsibility. I mean, my two
- 15:37Speaker 2: old daughter's best thing ever happened.
- 15:39Speaker 3: You see them now. I went to get the blood tests.
- 15:42Speaker 3: You know how you going to do the test and
- 15:45Speaker 3: I was gonna go and do a test.
- 15:47Speaker 2: You know, the first ain't baby, probably ain't mine. That
- 15:49Speaker 2: baby ain't mine.
- 15:50Speaker 3: So by now she's five and I walk in the
- 15:53Speaker 3: place and I look.
- 15:54Speaker 2: Down at this little face. We ain't got to take
- 15:57Speaker 2: no blood. Our face is exactly like mine.
- 16:01Speaker 10: But to me, she looked like him and she looked
- 16:03Speaker 10: like her, so it's like she was a great mixture
- 16:05Speaker 10: of the two. But when David told me the resolve
- 16:08Speaker 10: for me dj Invas was that it's he did the
- 16:11Speaker 10: spark thing.
- 16:12Speaker 7: He said, it's us, and then it's them.
- 16:14Speaker 2: It's everybody.
- 16:15Speaker 10: I said, So you never have to worry about me
- 16:17Speaker 10: choosing you over them, because it's us first and then them.
- 16:21Speaker 7: So that gave me a reassurance, and.
- 16:25Speaker 3: I wouldn't have to.
- 16:25Speaker 10: Be fighting to have my plate because I knew that
- 16:28Speaker 10: I had the papers. But still, you don't want to
- 16:30Speaker 10: be warring with someone else over just stuff that's even
- 16:33Speaker 10: outside of your home.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Right.
- 16:35Speaker 4: We have more with Tamala and David Man when we
- 16:38Speaker 4: come back, so don't move.
- 16:39Speaker 2: It's to breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. Everybody.
- 16:45Speaker 1: It's dj NV, Jesseelarraychelamine, the God. We are the Breakfast Club.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Long the roads are filling in for Jess and we're
- 16:51Speaker 1: still kicking in with David and Tamala Man.
- 16:54Speaker 2: Now, with all that was going on, how did you.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Block out the noise, right, because I'm sure you had
- 16:58Speaker 1: friends and girlfriends leave.
- 17:00Speaker 10: He's this that, but it written one. No one really
- 17:03Speaker 10: honestly did come to me like that. Because the thing
- 17:06Speaker 10: is is we were in a small community. A lot
- 17:08Speaker 10: of us we were yeah, we were church kids. We
- 17:10Speaker 10: was in church singing and all this kind of stuff.
- 17:12Speaker 10: So all of us didn't know each other and knew
- 17:15Speaker 10: that they had been what they did.
- 17:16Speaker 7: What is that, you know, doing what you did? You know,
- 17:19Speaker 7: being involved?
- 17:20Speaker 10: So yeah, so but if people they knew me as
- 17:24Speaker 10: a person and they knew her as a person, so
- 17:26Speaker 10: it's like she had her reputation, I had mine. And
- 17:29Speaker 10: it's like, no one really never stepped to me and
- 17:31Speaker 10: said anything crazy like that, but they was willing to
- 17:34Speaker 10: defend me.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Now. Mind you, when we wrote this book and I
- 17:38Speaker 2: put the chapter the Knock at the Door at it, girl,
- 17:41Speaker 2: he was cheating on you all the time.
- 17:43Speaker 3: It's like, due the math.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Read the book.
- 17:45Speaker 3: Just go read the book, you know, girl, I knew
- 17:48Speaker 3: he was cheating. It's like you just got to read
- 17:50Speaker 3: and just follow it.
- 17:51Speaker 7: But if I were living and.
- 17:53Speaker 10: We breathing and we fight all through all the things,
- 17:57Speaker 10: you know, thirty six years later, We're still building, we're
- 18:00Speaker 10: still living because we just believe that Heaven is our destiny.
- 18:03Speaker 7: You know, we're breathing every breath with purpose.
- 18:05Speaker 10: We believe that we have a call, we have a
- 18:07Speaker 10: purpose to do what we do, even to inspire people
- 18:11Speaker 10: that follow us in relationships. I mean, this is like
- 18:13Speaker 10: you said that everybody want us to do this together. Lord,
- 18:16Speaker 10: they do, and they expect to see us. It's like
- 18:18Speaker 10: when you see one, it's like, Okay, well yours man,
- 18:20Speaker 10: you out here by yourself.
- 18:21Speaker 7: No, he's here. It's like he just stepped the trust me.
- 18:24Speaker 3: I've been trying to lay in the cut while we've
- 18:25Speaker 3: been doing this promo tour and the same thank you.
- 18:28Speaker 7: We fighting together, we're doing this together.
- 18:30Speaker 2: I really can't. I mean, I don't see y'all a part.
- 18:32Speaker 2: Y'all are really tagged team back again. Every time here,
- 18:36Speaker 2: it was complete.
- 18:37Speaker 10: When y'all are together and if and that's that's I
- 18:40Speaker 10: love the completion of it because he completes me. And
- 18:43Speaker 10: my prayer is like, Lord, please give us more time,
- 18:45Speaker 10: give us more time together. And it's like it's like
- 18:48Speaker 10: I don't know if I can do life without without him?
- 18:50Speaker 2: Is that what got y'all to get into shape because
- 18:52Speaker 2: you said, you know, you wanted to live like you
- 18:54Speaker 2: wanted more times that with me, y'all said, you know what,
- 18:56Speaker 2: getting to this, I had whole diabetes scare and all
- 18:58Speaker 2: the stuff, and it's like, man, we got to do something.
- 19:01Speaker 2: I can't leave it here by itself. It's just too
- 19:03Speaker 2: much going on, just seeing the craziness, and I'm just like,
- 19:06Speaker 2: I can't leave it here byself. I got to get
- 19:08Speaker 2: myself together. And so that's what we're doing. We just
- 19:10Speaker 2: a work in progress, you know this, good man.
- 19:13Speaker 6: Thank you.
- 19:14Speaker 7: Working from the inside out.
- 19:15Speaker 10: I think the importance of it is like this record
- 19:18Speaker 10: and doing it is like mentally working, coming from a
- 19:21Speaker 10: mental space, coming from building a body, doing differently, making
- 19:25Speaker 10: better decisions for the body.
- 19:26Speaker 7: And that thing is like, so we can be here
- 19:28Speaker 7: longer together.
- 19:29Speaker 2: And I was telling you off air, thank you so
- 19:32Speaker 2: much for what you're doing in this mental health space.
- 19:35Speaker 2: It means a lot to me as a black man
- 19:36Speaker 2: and somebody who's expected to make the world feel good.
- 19:40Speaker 2: And I was like, I shared it. I was embarrassed
- 19:43Speaker 2: to come out with my story of depression and making
- 19:46Speaker 2: it and to hear stories like yours, and you're talking
- 19:50Speaker 2: and just putting it in the forefront. It makes people
- 19:52Speaker 2: like me say, good, I can share mine without being embarrassed,
- 19:56Speaker 2: because I was embarrassed.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Really, I mean, like, but why embarrassment though?
- 20:00Speaker 2: Every time to come out and perform, you, mister Brown,
- 20:07Speaker 2: you make the world laugh.
- 20:08Speaker 4: Like you said, I grew up.
- 20:09Speaker 2: I'm a family like okay, So people expect that, and
- 20:12Speaker 2: so they don't know in the background you dying literally
- 20:17Speaker 2: dying and drowning. And so when people like you come
- 20:20Speaker 2: out and you know, make it known. Hey, it's cool.
- 20:23Speaker 2: I have a therapist and I have Jesus sure, and.
- 20:26Speaker 10: So you know, I just all of your lives, what
- 20:29Speaker 10: y'all give. I think it's important that all of us
- 20:31Speaker 10: bring what we bring to the table. I feel like
- 20:33Speaker 10: this pie is big enough for all of us to
- 20:35Speaker 10: have a piece to share it. We can help somebody,
- 20:37Speaker 10: I mean, one of our messages how to get to somebody.
- 20:40Speaker 2: I mean, my god, I mean.
- 20:42Speaker 10: It's like, with the platforms that we have, we should
- 20:45Speaker 10: be able to help encourage somebody from any walk of life.
- 20:50Speaker 10: I just feel like we're sent here not just for us,
- 20:52Speaker 10: We're sent here to help all walks.
- 20:54Speaker 2: The message in this album.
- 20:56Speaker 10: This album is to live, breathing, and fight even though
- 20:58Speaker 10: you're facing the things you're facing. The songs talking about
- 21:01Speaker 10: carry on, even though that you've dealt with mental health
- 21:04Speaker 10: or different different things in your family, or whatever your
- 21:07Speaker 10: issues may be.
- 21:07Speaker 7: We have to carry on. We deserve to win.
- 21:10Speaker 10: After you've done and been through the miss and the
- 21:12Speaker 10: upbringers that we've came out of.
- 21:14Speaker 7: We deserve to win. You deserve to have some nice things.
- 21:17Speaker 7: You deserve to have a smile on your face to be.
- 21:19Speaker 3: You're gonna find somebody I've been watching.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Talking and she don't pray about it.
- 21:30Speaker 11: You don't know what.
- 21:33Speaker 2: You don't know. She was kind of like you early on.
- 21:36Speaker 3: She was a player to what she's been doing radio.
- 21:47Speaker 12: Watching, you know, start out player players.
- 21:51Speaker 3: You said, I didn't start out playing.
- 21:53Speaker 9: I didn't. I mean once you I wasn't a player.
- 21:56Speaker 2: I was.
- 21:57Speaker 9: I'm meeting people, you know.
- 22:00Speaker 1: And now she kicks the saying game to the same guys.
- 22:03Speaker 1: And they figured it out to the fact that two
- 22:05Speaker 1: gentlemen said you need to fix yourself.
- 22:07Speaker 2: You need to get there.
- 22:09Speaker 9: First of all.
- 22:10Speaker 2: Two men told us you need to heal town.
- 22:12Speaker 12: One of them on lasted till Sunday after homecoming because
- 22:15Speaker 12: you needed to hear no, because he don't get me
- 22:17Speaker 12: started a lot of it, a lot of it deflecting
- 22:20Speaker 12: and cap and the language.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Should be calling these guys things like eaters. Y'all know
- 22:24Speaker 2: about that my best eater.
- 22:29Speaker 11: Not that I don't say the phone in the phone
- 22:39Speaker 11: eat up best.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Eat That is not true.
- 22:42Speaker 7: I would, But I think we should come when.
- 22:48Speaker 10: But when you're looking at being found, I think we
- 22:52Speaker 10: have to make a list of what we're wanting in
- 22:56Speaker 10: a relationship, and then you become the list.
- 22:59Speaker 2: That's all.
- 23:00Speaker 7: Just know what you want and it's okay to have standards.
- 23:03Speaker 9: And but you said that you've realized later in life
- 23:06Speaker 9: about your value forget. But it takes time for.
- 23:09Speaker 12: You to get to a certain point where you feel like, okay,
- 23:11Speaker 12: now I'm ready to enter back into things. I just
- 23:14Speaker 12: feel like some men don't understand when you're taking that time.
- 23:16Speaker 12: And that doesn't mean that you're lonely or without, it's
- 23:19Speaker 12: just you know, you need that time. I stepped away
- 23:20Speaker 12: from something.
- 23:21Speaker 7: See that's y'all say, taking her time for that's the
- 23:25Speaker 7: healing process right there. So she is in the process
- 23:27Speaker 7: of being here. So y'all just have to it's her way.
- 23:35Speaker 12: Honestly, I got I'd be with the whole sorry for
- 23:46Speaker 12: them that I brought y'all into this, and I did
- 23:48Speaker 12: not know as long as you know.
- 23:51Speaker 7: Yeah, I know it, and I know these guys. Y'all
- 23:54Speaker 7: stop teasing her.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Try to Mom or somebody.
- 23:58Speaker 3: I'm just old.
- 23:59Speaker 7: I'm just I'm I'm the oldest in here. I'm fake.
- 24:01Speaker 12: I did take time before I started dating. I took
- 24:04Speaker 12: a lot of time because it was a long relationship
- 24:06Speaker 12: that I was in. And then I got and that
- 24:08Speaker 12: was like and now here come these two.
- 24:10Speaker 2: But I see God working on.
- 24:14Speaker 10: One of my first titles. I have hands around. But
- 24:24Speaker 10: I have a song on this called Power, talking about
- 24:26Speaker 10: the power of God.
- 24:27Speaker 7: You should listen to it. It's a good one. The
- 24:29Speaker 7: power is really just talking.
- 24:31Speaker 10: About how just how the Lord just maneuvers and how
- 24:35Speaker 10: his power just happens over things, and just how he
- 24:38Speaker 10: just holds us. I mean, it's just amazing how God
- 24:41Speaker 10: just really protects us when we don't know that we're
- 24:43Speaker 10: being protected. We think we out here doing it ourselves,
- 24:45Speaker 10: but the Lord is really shielding us. So it's just
- 24:48Speaker 10: it's just really a blessing to be able to bring
- 24:50Speaker 10: my hope is that it's good music and people can
- 24:53Speaker 10: be healed and have inspiration from it.
- 24:55Speaker 1: We have more with David and Timbla Man when we
- 24:57Speaker 1: come back, let's get into a joint off for our
- 25:00Speaker 1: deserve to win. It's the breakfast Club, Good morning wanting everybody.
- 25:03Speaker 1: We are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with
- 25:05Speaker 1: David and Tamala Man Charlemanne.
- 25:08Speaker 2: I was gonna ask about Lord, I trust you right
- 25:09Speaker 2: because you know to what you're speaking about now. You
- 25:11Speaker 2: say when the sun's not shining down on me, when
- 25:13Speaker 2: the chaos is overwhelming, my peace for my life is
- 25:15Speaker 2: spending out of control. When I lose my grip and
- 25:17Speaker 2: I start to let go, Lord, I trust you. How
- 25:19Speaker 2: hard is it to put your trust in God when
- 25:22Speaker 2: things aren't going well, when you don't see no.
- 25:24Speaker 8: Light of it?
- 25:26Speaker 10: Could be hard to me. That's why I have a
- 25:27Speaker 10: real good cry. I get in my car a lot
- 25:30Speaker 10: because my car to me is like I can get
- 25:31Speaker 10: away from everything and I don't have to hear anything.
- 25:34Speaker 9: It's like that.
- 25:34Speaker 7: But in my closet it's like a pride closet.
- 25:36Speaker 10: And in my car because God is like, I don't
- 25:38Speaker 10: understand what's happening right now, this last year and half
- 25:41Speaker 10: half of things and things coming to me like I
- 25:44Speaker 10: can't believe that I'm in this situation.
- 25:46Speaker 7: I can't believe that I'm having a fight just to
- 25:48Speaker 7: prove who I am.
- 25:50Speaker 10: And I thought I was doing that, but it's like, okay, Lord,
- 25:53Speaker 10: I trust you. I trust that you're gonna handle it.
- 25:55Speaker 10: And then that's when the song came for me working
- 25:57Speaker 10: for me, that the Lord just gave me a stamp
- 26:00Speaker 10: of approval.
- 26:00Speaker 7: You may not see me at.
- 26:01Speaker 10: Work, but I'm working in your behalf that he's working
- 26:04Speaker 10: for me, bless you. So it's just I just take
- 26:07Speaker 10: comfort in knowing that he is my gud and he
- 26:10Speaker 10: is my help. He's my present help in the time
- 26:12Speaker 10: of storm, that even when I don't see and nobody
- 26:14Speaker 10: else is around, he's there and I can go to
- 26:17Speaker 10: him and I ain't got to worry about him my
- 26:18Speaker 10: business being in the street.
- 26:19Speaker 2: That's why testimony is so important though, right because I
- 26:22Speaker 2: like to hear other people's stories and what they've been
- 26:24Speaker 2: through and.
- 26:25Speaker 10: What that overcoming of it overcoming, the overcoming sure was overcoming.
- 26:29Speaker 10: And that's the thing is and the Lord has allowed
- 26:32Speaker 10: me to finish the work, even to the extent of
- 26:35Speaker 10: even with my body, I reached the goal of like
- 26:38Speaker 10: even the weight loss that I was trying to do so,
- 26:40Speaker 10: but to even spiritually become a writer like I wrote
- 26:44Speaker 10: on it, Like I gave direction on every song on
- 26:47Speaker 10: this album. So it's like things that I'm proving to
- 26:50Speaker 10: myself and showing like Lord, you know, I wrote the
- 26:53Speaker 10: plan down and I'm following through with the plan.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Working for me. That was your eleventh number one, right, Yes,
- 26:58Speaker 2: you've watched the record of all time.
- 27:01Speaker 3: Wow, Kirk, we're tired. We're tired for number one.
- 27:07Speaker 10: But I mean, you don't see this stuff coming. You owe,
- 27:09Speaker 10: people don't like the music and enjoy it.
- 27:12Speaker 7: But it's like when it happened, I don't even look
- 27:15Speaker 7: at the charge y'all they have. They tell me.
- 27:18Speaker 9: Working for me, you lean into the country music.
- 27:20Speaker 12: Yeah, so I know, and I know Kirk Franklin is
- 27:23Speaker 12: known for dibbling, dabling different beats and sounds and stuff
- 27:25Speaker 12: like that. Have you thought about, like what you know
- 27:28Speaker 12: it would be like for you to do other stars,
- 27:30Speaker 12: of bringing other stars like the R and B or
- 27:31Speaker 12: like anything secular but making it gospel kind of how
- 27:33Speaker 12: he does a bit well.
- 27:34Speaker 7: I kind of have some balanced this close to maybe
- 27:38Speaker 7: R and B. I've had a little.
- 27:43Speaker 10: If we did do a love project Us against the World,
- 27:47Speaker 10: that I did, like I have a song that Kyle
- 27:49Speaker 10: feels I sing a song, does Carl feel like it's
- 27:51Speaker 10: really a straight R and B song.
- 27:53Speaker 7: We didn't push it, but I think it would have
- 27:55Speaker 7: really did well.
- 27:56Speaker 10: But I just still want people to think that I
- 27:58Speaker 10: was trying to do R and B music, that I
- 28:00Speaker 10: still want to stay in my genre because I feel.
- 28:02Speaker 7: Like we all have a part to play.
- 28:04Speaker 3: And really she was afraid of what.
- 28:08Speaker 2: I did.
- 28:08Speaker 11: I was I was.
- 28:09Speaker 10: I was very fearful and it wasn't like I was
- 28:12Speaker 10: fighting them, but I was dragging my feet. It's like,
- 28:15Speaker 10: I feel like if I can hear whatever, I could
- 28:18Speaker 10: sing whatever. You know, like when you say the country music,
- 28:21Speaker 10: it's like, I'm country, y'all. Y'all hear in my just
- 28:23Speaker 10: how I talk. But I know about the chickens and
- 28:26Speaker 10: the hogs. You know, I was raised actually in the country,
- 28:29Speaker 10: so it's like those things to me. What it's like,
- 28:32Speaker 10: I've been stretched and a lot of times we only
- 28:35Speaker 10: listen to people's single that they have at but we
- 28:37Speaker 10: really don't go listen to the body of even with the.
- 28:42Speaker 2: Love project we did, she was afraid, like, of what
- 28:45Speaker 2: people were gonna think. I'm in the studio, I got
- 28:47Speaker 2: my chest hairs and I got much sunshape. I'm doing
- 28:50Speaker 2: my best R.
- 28:51Speaker 7: And B what I mean, let the lights damn.
- 28:56Speaker 16: I was.
- 28:59Speaker 2: And she was like, just have I said, that is
- 29:01Speaker 2: not how you sing. But then I realized she was
- 29:04Speaker 2: afraid of what the church crad was gonna, you know,
- 29:07Speaker 2: think of her.
- 29:08Speaker 10: But once I thought about it, it's like I'm singing
- 29:10Speaker 10: to the love of my life. I'm singing to him.
- 29:12Speaker 10: I'm not singing for y'all, per se. I mean, thank
- 29:16Speaker 10: God for everybody, but I was singing to him, and
- 29:18Speaker 10: the song is you make me feel like I'm on
- 29:21Speaker 10: top of.
- 29:21Speaker 7: The world, and when it's the truth, he does.
- 29:24Speaker 10: So it's like when you hear this song, it's like
- 29:26Speaker 10: it just brings it all to life of like me
- 29:29Speaker 10: talking straight to him or him, you know, feeling like
- 29:32Speaker 10: when he touched me.
- 29:33Speaker 7: It's just it's just he.
- 29:34Speaker 10: Still he's still give me goose bumps. So it's like
- 29:37Speaker 10: they don't do that because you don't do that.
- 29:40Speaker 4: Don't do that right now?
- 29:43Speaker 2: Y'all married? Why can't you married people have that?
- 29:45Speaker 10: It's true, but it's just a society that we live in.
- 29:48Speaker 10: It's like our people. We can be judgmental. We could
- 29:51Speaker 10: be the most loving, but we also can be the
- 29:53Speaker 10: most judgmental when it comes to Christian people.
- 29:55Speaker 2: I don't understand that about Christianity. I'm not gonna do
- 29:59Speaker 2: the for a thing they teach.
- 30:02Speaker 3: And I love being on this side, but I don't.
- 30:04Speaker 2: Know why we're like that.
- 30:05Speaker 10: I have, but it's it just it does have to
- 30:08Speaker 10: be a separation, though, y'all it has. It's just I
- 30:11Speaker 10: wouldn't come and look for you to do certain things,
- 30:15Speaker 10: just like you probably wouldn't expect for me to do
- 30:17Speaker 10: certain things. And it's not judgmental, you just it's just
- 30:20Speaker 10: like what you represented you, just like with your parents.
- 30:23Speaker 10: Just like sometimes even some like our kids like to
- 30:25Speaker 10: talk about six. They don't want us to talk about six.
- 30:30Speaker 10: So it's like, but it's just like people that we're doing.
- 30:33Speaker 10: People don't want to hear certain things from certain people.
- 30:36Speaker 10: So it's not I don't think all of it is
- 30:38Speaker 10: I would say judging. It's just what would Jesus do.
- 30:42Speaker 7: Could you see him just pull back on one was
- 30:52Speaker 7: to bring a message.
- 30:57Speaker 2: His father created.
- 31:00Speaker 7: It was not for him smoking. No, the bush was
- 31:02Speaker 7: being burnt to show as a sacrifice.
- 31:07Speaker 9: Sacrifice in the bush that I'm talking about.
- 31:09Speaker 7: Not they cookn't green.
- 31:10Speaker 2: God creates everything for a purpose. God created marijuana.
- 31:13Speaker 7: He did, but it wasn't for us to be like
- 31:17Speaker 7: joy get high.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Healing.
- 31:20Speaker 7: It's healing. It's for healing.
- 31:22Speaker 2: I don't think Jesus got high.
- 31:24Speaker 13: I don't.
- 31:24Speaker 2: I'm gonna push you. Why do you think all the
- 31:26Speaker 2: people thought he was walking on water. He turned the
- 31:31Speaker 2: water into wine, so that's the alcohol. And then he
- 31:34Speaker 2: turned the fish, the fish and the bread. He moved
- 31:36Speaker 2: the ply of everybody. That's the monkey. Man, know, man,
- 31:42Speaker 2: that is the monkey.

- 31:51Speaker 12: the cliff on his own. Gonna watch him.
- 31:53Speaker 2: Jesus know my heart, he working on.
- 31:57Speaker 9: Don't try to bring God on in here. Do you

- 35:06Speaker 2: It was really stupid. It was really very intentional. It
- 35:11Speaker 2: wasn't well.
- 35:14Speaker 1: And then what makes his way walking around was so
- 35:17Speaker 1: stupid and was giggle because it was so stupid.

- 35:22Speaker 20: You guys, just added insulted, sitting there in the one
- 35:25Speaker 20: slot giggling together.
- 35:30Speaker 2: Oh man, anyway, back to the matter at hand, real life,
- 35:35Speaker 2: real love. What is that magic that holds y'all together?
- 35:38Speaker 20: You think, you know, whenever I find that people come
- 35:43Speaker 20: to our house or are around us, I think they're
- 35:46Speaker 20: kind of surprised at.
- 35:47Speaker 13: How much fun we have together.
- 35:49Speaker 20: I find him to be very charming, charismatic, and one
- 35:54Speaker 20: of the things that I love most about him is
- 35:56Speaker 20: his boyish nature. So we really have a lot of
- 35:58Speaker 20: fun together and we always since we first met. The
- 36:02Speaker 20: first week we spent together, I thought to myssage, it's
- 36:04Speaker 20: a lot of fun and he's he's like a friend,
- 36:07Speaker 20: you know, And that's part of the magic.
- 36:10Speaker 2: You knew that this was the person who was gonna
- 36:11Speaker 2: send the rest of your life.
- 36:12Speaker 19: After about two weeks of knowing him.
- 36:14Speaker 13: Yes, he knew before you even spent a day together.
- 36:18Speaker 19: I explain before before we even spent a day together.
- 36:22Speaker 1: Well, when I first when I first seen you, I
- 36:24Speaker 1: mean I wrote in the book that I thought you
- 36:26Speaker 1: were beautiful and amazing. And the first time I saw
- 36:27Speaker 1: you were actually running track and for people that don't know,
- 36:30Speaker 1: you know track, she's playing tracks like that. You know,
- 36:38Speaker 1: he had, you know, big double d's, And I would
- 36:40Speaker 1: stop basically stalker outside and just watch her run.
- 36:43Speaker 3: Track and watch a breast bottle like that word don't
- 36:46Speaker 3: say stalk, but.
- 36:47Speaker 7: That's actually what he was.
- 36:49Speaker 19: It was actually stalking. And I would see him.
- 36:53Speaker 20: I would see him sitting with his friends in this
- 36:56Speaker 20: bright blue con edison vand because that's what his parents
- 37:00Speaker 20: bought him to trans to transfer his DJ equipment from
- 37:03Speaker 20: sweet sixteen.
- 37:03Speaker 19: To sweet sixteen time, and I would see it parked
- 37:09Speaker 19: behind the fence.
- 37:10Speaker 13: I'm thinking myself, like, Yo, why is this van.
- 37:13Speaker 19: There every day at practice?
- 37:18Speaker 2: Yo? Yeah?
- 37:22Speaker 19: It was bright blue. He wasn't low, he was not low.
- 37:27Speaker 16: He was just sitting in the And then one day, actually, babe,
- 37:31Speaker 16: do you remember one day he emerged from the van
- 37:33Speaker 16: and approached me and kicked it And I was like, oh,
- 37:36Speaker 16: so you're that weird though.
- 37:39Speaker 2: Both kids.
- 37:40Speaker 4: Yeah, she was fifteen, I was sixteen. We went to
- 37:42Speaker 4: the same high school.
- 37:43Speaker 17: So m but you say that you knew that she
- 37:46Speaker 17: was going to be your wife, like right away? You
- 37:47Speaker 17: think it was before y'all even spoke when he was
- 37:50Speaker 17: stalking her.
- 37:51Speaker 1: Actually know when we actually spoke, and you know, I
- 37:53Speaker 1: found out how you know, beautiful she was inside and outside,
- 37:57Speaker 1: and how smart she was and caring and she was
- 38:00Speaker 1: just that she was the one. She was the most
- 38:02Speaker 1: beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life and the
- 38:04Speaker 1: most precious thing. So I was like, this is going
- 38:06Speaker 1: to be my wife.
- 38:07Speaker 2: I want people to get the book, but I do want,
- 38:09Speaker 2: you know, to explain how do you keep reinventing the
- 38:13Speaker 2: relationship when you start that young. Now interview is fifty something,
- 38:17Speaker 2: you know what I mean, you're much much younger. But
- 38:19Speaker 2: how do you keep how do you keep reinventing?
- 38:22Speaker 19: And I think that that's part of the magic.
- 38:25Speaker 3: We don't have to try.
- 38:26Speaker 19: We don't intentionally.
- 38:28Speaker 20: We do a lot of things intentionally and deliberately, but
- 38:31Speaker 20: we don't intentionally reimagine the relationship and act on that.
- 38:36Speaker 19: The only thing that I would say that we're good
- 38:39Speaker 19: about is keeping it sexy and making.
- 38:41Speaker 20: Sure that that part of our relationship doesn't get to
- 38:44Speaker 20: monotonous and doesn't get stale.
- 38:46Speaker 19: So we have a lot of fun in that space.
- 38:49Speaker 7: But we don't have to think, like, God.
- 38:51Speaker 20: How am I going to stop being bored of you?
- 38:53Speaker 20: Or how am I going to get to a point
- 38:55Speaker 20: where you don't annoy me anymore? He legitimately does not
- 38:57Speaker 20: annoy me. I look forward to his phone calls every day,
- 39:01Speaker 20: and we probably speak on the phone about maybe eight
- 39:04Speaker 20: or nine ten times a day because he's away a lot,
- 39:07Speaker 20: you know. So he calls me on his way through
- 39:08Speaker 20: the breakfast club he calls me in his way home
- 39:10Speaker 20: from the breakfast clubs.
- 39:11Speaker 19: He calls me.
- 39:11Speaker 20: If something happens, he calls me incessantly. It's and I'm
- 39:15Speaker 20: never like you again, I'm like him again.
- 39:17Speaker 16: You know.
- 39:18Speaker 20: It's just that feeling that I've always had that no
- 39:21Speaker 20: matter what ups or downs we were going through, that
- 39:24Speaker 20: never left me.
- 39:25Speaker 13: Now, he told us this story about the cowboy outfit.
- 39:28Speaker 19: He told you about that.
- 39:29Speaker 12: Wait wait wait, the cowboy outfit in college with the
- 39:33Speaker 12: asses chats that No, they.
- 39:36Speaker 13: Were, Yeah, you tell us about it.
- 39:38Speaker 19: Oh wait, rare Sean, did you actually tell him about that,
- 39:40Speaker 19: like on error in private?
- 39:43Speaker 9: He did, because it was in private.
- 39:44Speaker 19: This is a whole double cross.
- 39:47Speaker 13: Jessip as a cowboy and his he had, remember, okay, and.
- 39:52Speaker 2: I remember that after he told his story, he goes.
- 39:56Speaker 20: Like what he did when we were in college. Yeah,
- 40:00Speaker 20: we went through a stage where we were doing like
- 40:02Speaker 20: a lot of role play. Yeah, and one night I
- 40:06Speaker 20: dared him to be a cowboy.
- 40:07Speaker 9: So we went and got the cowboy.
- 40:10Speaker 19: He had like the big brown hat, and then he
- 40:12Speaker 19: had like the.
- 40:13Speaker 20: Little holsters and everything and big do you remember I
- 40:16Speaker 20: took pictures?
- 40:17Speaker 13: Where are those are they? In the book?
- 40:20Speaker 19: About maybe three years after he made me physically burn
- 40:24Speaker 19: them on the grill.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Wow.
- 40:26Speaker 19: He put them on the grill and told me how
- 40:28Speaker 19: to light it? Yeah, they don't exist.
- 40:29Speaker 13: Don't you wish you still had that?
- 40:31Speaker 2: Would y'all talk about lay in the book? You said
- 40:32Speaker 2: he likes to put on the rock Nation paper plane
- 40:34Speaker 2: hat and he goes, what's my name?

- 40:42Speaker 13: Wait, they really so he wasn't lying they were assless chaps.
- 40:45Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, he had a whole.
- 40:46Speaker 7: It was a whole thing.

- 40:49Speaker 13: tell us that.
- 40:50Speaker 16: Damn to get my book and you will learn a
- 40:53Speaker 16: slew of tactics what you want out of life.
- 41:00Speaker 3: It was a holster, by the way, there were holsters.
- 41:02Speaker 13: It was a whole. It was some other dress up things,
- 41:04Speaker 13: you go, right.
- 41:06Speaker 20: It was more so me dressing up and he was
- 41:09Speaker 20: just like the recipient of that. That That was the
- 41:10Speaker 20: one little and that's why it was a dare because
- 41:13Speaker 20: it was kind of supposed to be a joke.
- 41:14Speaker 19: But he never really dressed up.
- 41:17Speaker 2: He was a doctor.
- 41:18Speaker 13: That was one.
- 41:19Speaker 2: Did you really burn the pictures?
- 41:20Speaker 19: I really did in front of him?
- 41:22Speaker 13: Wow, you didn't have.
- 41:26Speaker 9: Negatives?
- 41:27Speaker 19: Was going to share that they never goes left in
- 41:30Speaker 19: our relationships.

- 42:11Speaker 13: book together?
- 42:12Speaker 19: Some of it was fun, It was nice to be
- 42:13Speaker 19: creative and get your thoughts down on paper. It was work,
- 42:18Speaker 19: but a lot of it was difficult. I'm a very
- 42:21Speaker 19: open person.
- 42:23Speaker 20: Rashean, I think had a difficult time because he had
- 42:26Speaker 20: to relive a lot of the negative things that transpired.
- 42:30Speaker 2: In our relationship.
- 42:32Speaker 20: And he can tend to be surface in some respects
- 42:37Speaker 20: where you ask him a question, he gives you an answer.
- 42:39Speaker 20: I'm a lot more of an in depth person, you know.
- 42:41Speaker 20: I think critically about things. And when we would go
- 42:44Speaker 20: over these chapters that he's assigned to write, I would
- 42:48Speaker 20: ask him questions like Okay, you can't just answer it
- 42:51Speaker 20: with a yes or a no or a simple blanket,
- 42:53Speaker 20: like one question would mean ten more questions to really
- 42:56Speaker 20: get to the meet. And you know, I had to
- 42:58Speaker 20: keep reiterating, we're writing the books so that people have
- 43:01Speaker 20: something tangible, a reference point for them to make changes
- 43:05Speaker 20: in their lives if necessary, or to recognize that the
- 43:08Speaker 20: person that you're with needs to make changes in their lives.
- 43:11Speaker 3: And it was a journey.
- 43:14Speaker 19: It was a journey, but I think it was difficult.
- 43:16Speaker 1: Nothing, it was difficult. I had to relive a lot
- 43:17Speaker 1: of the f boy ish I put you through. And
- 43:20Speaker 1: you don't you forget about a lot of it because
- 43:22Speaker 1: you don't have to relive it. But then when you start, no,
- 43:24Speaker 1: you forget about it, forget I forget nothing.
- 43:27Speaker 2: But I think not the point though, right, because it's
- 43:30Speaker 2: like we don't realize how much we do hurt our
- 43:34Speaker 2: women when we do that true though, yeah, I think so.
- 43:37Speaker 2: I don't think we realize how deep.
- 43:38Speaker 19: That that sounds like an okie do to me.
- 43:40Speaker 2: No, I don't think we Until you actually sit down
- 43:42Speaker 2: and have those you know, uncomfortable conversations, you don't realize how.
- 43:46Speaker 20: Much you if your wife cheated on you and told
- 43:50Speaker 20: you that she would have no idea how much that
- 43:54Speaker 20: instood to hurt you.
- 43:55Speaker 2: Would that makes sense too, Probably not, But I mean,
- 43:58Speaker 2: men don't make sense. You believe that.
- 44:02Speaker 19: You believe that you're born inherently with like a deficit.
- 44:04Speaker 2: Not a deficit. But I just don't. I don't think we.
- 44:06Speaker 2: I don't think we're thinking about it, you know what
- 44:08Speaker 2: I mean? Like we that's the sad part.
- 44:10Speaker 13: It's selfish and that's what keeps That's what keeps.
- 44:12Speaker 2: You from doing it in the future, you know what
- 44:14Speaker 2: I mean, because you do not want to hurt the
- 44:16Speaker 2: woman that you love. And it's so crazy because I
- 44:18Speaker 2: saw that with my pops, Like I saw the pain
- 44:20Speaker 2: that that caused my mom with his infidelity, So in
- 44:23Speaker 2: my mind I was like, damn, I'm about to make
- 44:25Speaker 2: the same mistake. So I think it is difficult when
- 44:27Speaker 2: you got to relive it because you don't want to
- 44:28Speaker 2: talk about it, because you don't want to trigger you.
- 44:31Speaker 19: You know some people I don't get triggered, though.
- 44:35Speaker 2: That scared me just now.
- 44:44Speaker 20: No, Once I got to a point, and it was
- 44:46Speaker 20: a process, Once I got to a point where I
- 44:49Speaker 20: accepted that it was my job to move on, because
- 44:54Speaker 20: I decided to forgive him, and because because he had
- 44:59Speaker 20: done all of the work and then some to regain
- 45:04Speaker 20: my trust to earn grace from me, I got to
- 45:08Speaker 20: a point where I no longer wanted to punish and
- 45:11Speaker 20: I didn't have that inherent need to see him suffer.
- 45:15Speaker 20: Because when you hurt, and you say it all the time,
- 45:17Speaker 20: hurt people hurt people. When you're hurt, you want not
- 45:21Speaker 20: just people, you want the person that hurt you to hurt.
- 45:24Speaker 20: And anytime that I felt any type of way, I
- 45:27Speaker 20: made sure that he felt some type of way. So
- 45:30Speaker 20: once I learned how to forgive, and that was a process,
- 45:32Speaker 20: because I wasn't necessarily a forgiving person.
- 45:35Speaker 19: Before everything was very black and white to me, not
- 45:37Speaker 19: very much gray.
- 45:38Speaker 20: But once I learned and I understood that that's what
- 45:43Speaker 20: was expected from me of God, I had to commit
- 45:46Speaker 20: to that and do my best to live up to
- 45:49Speaker 20: what forgiveness meant. And that's what set me free, because
- 45:53Speaker 20: when you forgive, you don't forgive to ease the burden
- 45:55Speaker 20: from the other person. You forgive to ease the burden
- 45:58Speaker 20: from you.
- 45:59Speaker 17: Measure the work you guys did together, like you had
- 46:02Speaker 17: to work on forgiveness and when you said, Okay, I'm gonna,
- 46:06Speaker 17: you know, have to move on from this. But what
- 46:09Speaker 17: was the work that he did that let you know, Okay,
- 46:11Speaker 17: he's serious, and you know I can finally just say
- 46:16Speaker 17: I'm not getting triggered anymore.
- 46:17Speaker 13: I'm going to let this go.
- 46:19Speaker 20: One of the first things was I realized that he
- 46:23Speaker 20: understood the impact of what had happened.
- 46:26Speaker 19: What he did, He understood it.
- 46:29Speaker 20: He didn't just accept it and was accountable for it,
- 46:32Speaker 20: but he actually understood. He would do things that a
- 46:37Speaker 20: lot of men wouldn't do. He would sit there through
- 46:39Speaker 20: those eight hour conversations locked in a room. He answered
- 46:43Speaker 20: every question that I had, and I had a lot
- 46:46Speaker 20: of questions, and he answered them all truthfully. And you know,
- 46:51Speaker 20: when you ask somebody a question and you can tell
- 46:53Speaker 20: by their answer, because I mean, the answers weren't pretty,
- 46:57Speaker 20: they weren't things that I would have wanted to hear.
- 47:00Speaker 20: He went through all of the sufferation, as I call it,
- 47:03Speaker 20: and he did it until because a lot of guys,
- 47:07Speaker 20: when they mess up, and I mean a lot of them,
- 47:09Speaker 20: have told me. I have friends and that have gone
- 47:12Speaker 20: through it.
- 47:12Speaker 7: It's like, listen, I did it.
- 47:14Speaker 19: I apologize. I said I was never going to do
- 47:16Speaker 19: it again.
- 47:17Speaker 20: I mean that ish right, But it's like every day
- 47:20Speaker 20: I'm being punished, I'm being punished, I'm being reminded.
- 47:23Speaker 19: It's like, let it go, I apologize, Like, what more
- 47:25Speaker 19: do you want from me?
- 47:25Speaker 2: Blood?
- 47:26Speaker 20: He never took that approach with me. It was the
- 47:30Speaker 20: until until you are good, until you are healed. If
- 47:34Speaker 20: I have to be a punching bag, I will be that.
- 47:36Speaker 20: If I have to be a doormat, I will be that.
- 47:38Speaker 20: I will do anything that it makes to survive this
- 47:42Speaker 20: because I cannot be without you. And he proved it
- 47:46Speaker 20: every single day. It was as though and he was
- 47:48Speaker 20: like this before, but it was even more so during
- 47:51Speaker 20: this time. It was as though he communicated to me
- 47:53Speaker 20: that the only thing that he wanted was to make
- 47:56Speaker 20: me happy. And that's pretty much how he lives his life.
- 47:59Speaker 19: He lives his life every day waking up thinking like.
- 48:02Speaker 20: Damn, how can I make his life easier today? How
- 48:04Speaker 20: can I make Ge a happier today? But to answer
- 48:06Speaker 20: your question, it was the until. It was the indefinite,
- 48:09Speaker 20: and it was the willingness to do any and everything
- 48:12Speaker 20: to earn what he lost back.
- 48:14Speaker 17: And was there ever a question in your mind? I
- 48:16Speaker 17: know there was a point when you thought, no matter
- 48:19Speaker 17: what I do, she's never gonna take me back. There
- 48:21Speaker 17: ever a time when you were.
- 48:22Speaker 2: Like, cry, I'm gonna come over there and hug you
- 48:23Speaker 2: and let you know you better hold them. I'm hung
- 48:27Speaker 2: from the back. If you cried in front of your wife.
- 48:33Speaker 19: Catch that little feel.
- 48:36Speaker 1: At that point, I, you know, I didn't know what
- 48:38Speaker 1: was gonna happen, but I was like, I have to
- 48:40Speaker 1: be honest to at least get my friend back, you know.
- 48:44Speaker 1: And at that point, I I, you know, I didn't
- 48:46Speaker 1: know what Ge was gonna do. I thought it was
- 48:47Speaker 1: a rap. But I was like, I still wanted my friend.
- 48:49Speaker 1: I still wanted somebody I can talk to, you know,
- 48:51Speaker 1: I still wanted a relationship with her that we can
- 48:53Speaker 1: bounce like this. She's all I knew since I was sixteen.
- 48:55Speaker 1: So I still wanted my friend back answers Jamaica. That
- 48:58Speaker 1: could have been forever beef.
- 49:00Speaker 13: Yeah, but you know, it's interesting that you didn't kick
- 49:02Speaker 13: him out of the house.
- 49:03Speaker 17: You were still polite to him, you still wanted to
- 49:05Speaker 17: maintain a co parenting friendship.
- 49:09Speaker 9: I feel like that.
- 49:09Speaker 17: Here's more when you're like, we're not having sex and
- 49:13Speaker 17: might end up with somebody else one day, but you
- 49:17Speaker 17: know we're cool, that hurts more, I think sometimes and
- 49:19Speaker 17: just completely like being nasty to somebody and cutting them off.
- 49:23Speaker 20: Yes, Well, when I found out divorce was imminent, it
- 49:27Speaker 20: was never a question. I was raised by a very
- 49:31Speaker 20: strong mother who taught me that if a man ever
- 49:36Speaker 20: disrespects you to that degree, then you walk. So it
- 49:40Speaker 20: didn't matter how much I loved or Sean and how
- 49:43Speaker 20: much I would have missed him, and it.
- 49:44Speaker 19: Didn't matter if I cried every night.
- 49:46Speaker 20: It did not matter one iota how I felt. The
- 49:50Speaker 20: only thing that was important to me was that I
- 49:53Speaker 20: operated with my head and not my heart, and that
- 49:56Speaker 20: I did what I always said that I was going
- 49:59Speaker 20: to do. I found out when it was confirmed for me,
- 50:02Speaker 20: And you can read the book and see the entire
- 50:05Speaker 20: no we want you to go get there, the entire story.
- 50:08Speaker 20: But when he confirmed it, we were in a parking lot,
- 50:11Speaker 20: and when I drove away from that parking lot, it
- 50:14Speaker 20: was a few days before Christmas, and his mother was
- 50:16Speaker 20: at the house helping me decorate because we were hosting
- 50:18Speaker 20: that year. But I walked into the house and I
- 50:21Speaker 20: told her, I said, Christmas is canceled. And she said, oh,
- 50:26Speaker 20: and Christmas is canceled. And I said, well, I just
- 50:29Speaker 20: found out that Rashaan cheated on me and we're getting
- 50:32Speaker 20: a divorce, so there's not gonna be any Christmas this year,
- 50:35Speaker 20: at least I'm not hosting.
- 50:36Speaker 2: You know, it's wild that people actually canceled Christmas. I
- 50:38Speaker 2: thought that was just a figure of speach. No, no,
- 50:41Speaker 2: this happened. We canceled Christmas, canceled Christmas. Yeah, Christmas.
- 50:46Speaker 19: Well, in the sense of us hosting.
- 50:48Speaker 20: I wasn't going to cancel it for our children, but
- 50:50Speaker 20: you know, we didn't have to decorate for thirty people
- 50:52Speaker 20: to come over.
- 50:53Speaker 19: And my lovely mother in law, Hi, Mama.
- 50:58Speaker 20: She defended her beautiful son with everything that she could
- 51:02Speaker 20: because lying pretty.
- 51:04Speaker 19: Much, And when she said something to that effect, I.
- 51:07Speaker 20: Said, but for the fact that he just told me
- 51:10Speaker 20: that it was true, and he came home maybe twenty
- 51:14Speaker 20: or thirty minutes later, and it was a whole thing right.
- 51:19Speaker 20: But I was adamant that we were getting a divorce.
- 51:23Speaker 20: I contacted an attorney, paid an attorney.
- 51:26Speaker 19: It was decided.
- 51:30Speaker 20: But thankfully, there were a whole host of things that
- 51:34Speaker 20: happened that that convinced me that God had other plans.
- 51:40Speaker 1: I will on movie got More with Gia Casey. We're
- 51:43Speaker 1: talking out a new book, Real Life, Real Love. Let's
- 51:45Speaker 1: get into Mary J. Blijoint his Real Love. It's the
- 51:48Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, Good Morning, like Everybody's DJ Indy, Angelie Charlamade,
- 51:53Speaker 1: the guys we are the Breakfast Club. We got a
- 51:55Speaker 1: special guest still in the building, my wife, Gia Casey.
- 51:58Speaker 1: We're talking about our new book, Real Life, Real Love,
- 52:01Speaker 1: Life lessons on Joy, Pain and the Magic that holds
- 52:03Speaker 1: us together. You could pick it up today or you
- 52:06Speaker 1: can get it on Audible and can Dole or wherever
- 52:07Speaker 1: you get your books.
- 52:09Speaker 17: Yee, And they let me ask you because you know,
- 52:11Speaker 17: for women, we always are like and like you said,
- 52:13Speaker 17: Tyresee was having a conversation how a man can't cheat
- 52:15Speaker 17: on you but still love you. Yeah, but why like,
- 52:20Speaker 17: you know, that's something that for women we always want
- 52:22Speaker 17: to know. And I'm sure you had so many conversations.
- 52:25Speaker 19: Well, I still don't like his answer.
- 52:27Speaker 1: I don't necessarily agree with what Tyre said. I really
- 52:30Speaker 1: feel that until you know the definition of what love
- 52:33Speaker 1: really means. I think a lot of times people just
- 52:35Speaker 1: say I love you, and it's oh, I love you.
- 52:37Speaker 1: But until you understand the definition of what love means,
- 52:40Speaker 1: then you realize I don't if I love somebody like
- 52:42Speaker 1: I say.
- 52:43Speaker 2: You don't want to hurt them.
- 52:44Speaker 1: You don't want to cheat on them, you don't want
- 52:45Speaker 1: to disrespect them, you don't want to have them looking
- 52:47Speaker 1: crazy because you love that person. And I don't think
- 52:50Speaker 1: I knew the definition of love. But when I figured
- 52:52Speaker 1: that definition out of what love is and what Gia
- 52:54Speaker 1: meant to me, you know, you realize I don't want
- 52:56Speaker 1: to hurt her. I don't want to see her cry,
- 52:58Speaker 1: I don't want to see her feel a way. I
- 52:59Speaker 1: don't want to disrespec I don't want to be controlling.
- 53:01Speaker 1: I don't want to be any of those things. And
- 53:03Speaker 1: when you realize what that definition is, your outlook of
- 53:06Speaker 1: life changes.
- 53:06Speaker 2: I agree with it, and I'll add on because I've
- 53:08Speaker 2: explored this in therapy. When you say you can cheat
- 53:12Speaker 2: and still love a person, you might, but you don't
- 53:15Speaker 2: really love yourself. Yeah, I think a lot of times
- 53:17Speaker 2: and not a lot of times. All the time men
- 53:19Speaker 2: cheat for ego.
- 53:20Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like that's it.
- 53:21Speaker 2: It's wounded ego. It's something that we're lacking. It has
- 53:23Speaker 2: nothing to do with all wives, nothing to do with
- 53:25Speaker 2: our girlfriends. It's something that we feel like we're lacking
- 53:28Speaker 2: for whatever reason, and that's what we go and do.
- 53:31Speaker 2: It's literally just to feed all ego. Nothing, no, nothing,
- 53:33Speaker 2: Like do you.
- 53:34Speaker 17: Think women cheat for the same reason as men or
- 53:35Speaker 17: you think it's different, Like when women cheat, you think
- 53:38Speaker 17: they cheat for different reasons.
- 53:40Speaker 19: I think women also cheat for ego.
- 53:43Speaker 20: Who doesn't like to have the attention of the opposite sets,
- 53:48Speaker 20: you know, especially when you are at a deficit and
- 53:51Speaker 20: you do have holes and you need those holes filled
- 53:54Speaker 20: and most people have slight holes. You know, not that
- 53:58Speaker 20: you're out there thirsty for the attention of the opposite sex,
- 54:01Speaker 20: but even if it's of the same sex, when someone
- 54:03Speaker 20: pays you a compliment, like it's nice to be wanted,
- 54:07Speaker 20: is essentially what I'm saying.
- 54:08Speaker 19: So for women. Yeah, I mean I think that if
- 54:12Speaker 19: you're with someone and you cheat, I think a big
- 54:15Speaker 19: part of it is ego.
- 54:16Speaker 20: But then you know, you'll have people that say that
- 54:18Speaker 20: they cheat because the person at home isn't doing what
- 54:21Speaker 20: they're supposed to do. You know.
- 54:23Speaker 19: And we have a son, Logan.
- 54:24Speaker 20: He's eighteen, so he's starting to date seriously and whatnot now.
- 54:28Speaker 20: And I had a conversation with him the other day
- 54:30Speaker 20: and I said, listen, if you commit to a girl
- 54:33Speaker 20: and you.
- 54:34Speaker 19: Make her your girlfriend, one thing I do not want
- 54:36Speaker 19: you to do is cheat.
- 54:38Speaker 20: Do not come to me and tell me that you
- 54:40Speaker 20: guys broke up because you cheated on her, because I've
- 54:42Speaker 20: raised you better than that. If you decide that you
- 54:45Speaker 20: want something else or she's not satisfying whatever needs you have,
- 54:50Speaker 20: break up with.
- 54:50Speaker 13: Her and move on to the next.
- 54:52Speaker 19: And if within a week you feel the same way
- 54:54Speaker 19: about that girl, break up with her and move on
- 54:56Speaker 19: to the next.
- 54:57Speaker 20: Do not cheat, because you're sacrificing your own INDI integrity
- 55:00Speaker 20: when you do that, and that's pretty much a sign
- 55:03Speaker 20: of really not loving yourself. When you love yourself, you
- 55:07Speaker 20: want to be self actualized, you want to be your
- 55:09Speaker 20: best self. You want to reach your highest potential, You
- 55:12Speaker 20: want to be a kind, a good person, and you
- 55:14Speaker 20: owe that to yourself. You don't necessarily owe it to
- 55:16Speaker 20: the other person. You owe it to yourself to do
- 55:18Speaker 20: those things. And that's what I'm trying to instill in
- 55:21Speaker 20: him as my oldest male child.
- 55:23Speaker 2: You know, one of the biggest things I think that
- 55:25Speaker 2: came out and this was all the work that he
- 55:27Speaker 2: did do on himself and he was suicidal at a point.
- 55:30Speaker 2: That's we know that, right. Yes, I don't think that
- 55:34Speaker 2: was all because of what was going on with you.
- 55:35Speaker 2: I think it was, like I said, it was other
- 55:37Speaker 2: things that he was dealing with inside of him that
- 55:39Speaker 2: probably got him to that point.
- 55:40Speaker 20: Yes, we would have to ask him, because we've never
- 55:44Speaker 20: had a conversation of it being about anything besides the
- 55:49Speaker 20: threat of losing our relationship.
- 55:52Speaker 3: I would say this.
- 55:53Speaker 1: I would say, you know, I used to look at
- 55:54Speaker 1: people who committed suicide as soft and suck like that
- 55:58Speaker 1: that's what society made you think. Until I got into
- 56:00Speaker 1: that predicament where I felt like my life, well everybody's
- 56:04Speaker 1: life around me, would be better if I wasn't here,
- 56:07Speaker 1: and I couldn't shake it, and the majority of it
- 56:10Speaker 1: was losing my wife, losing my family, losing the thing
- 56:13Speaker 1: that I knew and that I loved, and I really
- 56:16Speaker 1: feel like I didn't want to be there. And I
- 56:19Speaker 1: guess it was everything else that we said, like the
- 56:21Speaker 1: insecurities that made me do it, the insecurities around me,
- 56:24Speaker 1: and I just didn't know.
- 56:25Speaker 2: Who I was as a person. That's powerful.
- 56:29Speaker 1: But I will say during all of that, in all
- 56:32Speaker 1: those conversations and all those late night talks and with praying,
- 56:36Speaker 1: you feel like you realize who you are as a person.
- 56:39Speaker 1: And once you figure that out, you figure out who
- 56:41Speaker 1: you want to be, who you want to who you
- 56:43Speaker 1: want to live like, and you don't care about anything else.
- 56:45Speaker 1: You know, at one time I used to care what
- 56:47Speaker 1: people thought. Now I don't care. As long as my
- 56:49Speaker 1: wife and my family's happy. Everything else is just white
- 56:52Speaker 1: noise behind it.
- 56:53Speaker 17: To think about how much stronger you guys are as
- 56:55Speaker 17: individuals and your marriage is so much stronger after everything
- 56:58Speaker 17: you've been through.
- 56:58Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, if he said something powerful to
- 57:01Speaker 2: because this business, this business will have you living a lot.
- 57:04Speaker 2: Because we're characters, right, So we create these characters that
- 57:08Speaker 2: kind of protect the rashan and protect the lenard and
- 57:11Speaker 2: we're we go home and we one way, but then
- 57:12Speaker 2: we're out in the street being another way. But you
- 57:14Speaker 2: can't do both. Eventually, that negative is going to catch up.
- 57:18Speaker 2: So that's that's why I think he was going through,
- 57:21Speaker 2: like not only just the threat of losing you, but
- 57:23Speaker 2: just like, who am I?
- 57:24Speaker 19: What's that hard for you? Having this dual personality?
- 57:28Speaker 1: Almost absolutely, because I mean, like, nothing's better now than
- 57:32Speaker 1: to not care what people think? You know, I would
- 57:33Speaker 1: have to freedom freedom, I would have to think about
- 57:36Speaker 1: what I was saying on the radio and how would
- 57:37Speaker 1: affect me, how people would look at me. I would
- 57:39Speaker 1: have to think about this or think about that instead
- 57:41Speaker 1: of just being free and say, hey, it is what
- 57:43Speaker 1: it is.
- 57:43Speaker 2: Take it how you like it. If you like me,
- 57:44Speaker 2: you like me.
- 57:45Speaker 3: If you love me, you love me.
- 57:46Speaker 1: If you hate me, you hate me. And once I
- 57:47Speaker 1: got to that place, life became a whole lot better.
- 57:52Speaker 17: See a lot of gems in this fuck you guys.
- 57:54Speaker 17: I was thoroughly entertaining. Like I said, I look stressed.

- 58:31Speaker 2: And I think that y'all gonna help with a lot
- 58:32Speaker 2: of couples. And it's clear that y'all too are meant
- 58:34Speaker 2: to be with each other, you know what I'm saying.
- 58:36Speaker 20: One of my favorite chapters is called The New Deal,
- 58:39Speaker 20: and it's pretty much about reparations that the offender has
- 58:43Speaker 20: to make after offending their partner. And it's those things
- 58:48Speaker 20: that will help to let to signal to your partner
- 58:51Speaker 20: that you just may be worthy of forgiveness and being
- 58:55Speaker 20: extended grace.
- 58:56Speaker 2: So one of those reparations, the first thing people will
- 58:58Speaker 2: say is that, oh, that's why he does the twelve
- 58:59Speaker 2: Day Christmas.
- 59:00Speaker 19: You know that's right. A lot of people do.
- 59:05Speaker 20: But you know, it's funny, and that's the funny thing.
- 59:08Speaker 20: We've always done twelve days of Christmas. We just never
- 59:12Speaker 20: made it public. And it's not the type of thing
- 59:15Speaker 20: that at first I ever wanted to make public because.
- 59:19Speaker 3: It is grand.
- 59:21Speaker 19: But I decided to start.
- 59:23Speaker 20: Posting it because it's not about the material items that
- 59:28Speaker 20: he gives me for Christmas.
- 59:30Speaker 19: It's about the intention behind it.
- 59:33Speaker 9: It's about the thought.
- 59:34Speaker 20: You know, he starts shopping almost a year in advance
- 59:37Speaker 20: for that, and every gift comes with something special, a
- 59:41Speaker 20: little note, a little treasure hunt to find the gift,
- 59:44Speaker 20: a prayer, a poem, something that is giving of his heart,
- 59:49Speaker 20: not giving up his pocket.
- 59:51Speaker 2: And that's why when you you know, you read the
- 59:52Speaker 2: book and you hear y'all talk, that's why you understand
- 59:55Speaker 2: why he got so upset at these and Maryland. Correct,
- 59:57Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, because y'all relationship is so
- 59:59Speaker 2: much deeper.
- 1:00:00Speaker 19: Of course, you know, because with their comment it almost
- 1:00:04Speaker 19: to me.
- 1:00:04Speaker 20: Suggests as though there's nothing else worthy about him that
- 1:00:11Speaker 20: would signal me to stay aside from what he has
- 1:00:15Speaker 20: to offer financially. And it's a joke, right, but we
- 1:00:19Speaker 20: all know that all jokes are rooted in some truth,
- 1:00:23Speaker 20: and that's what I think their truth was. Looking at
- 1:00:27Speaker 20: it from an outsider, I wasn't some Jackie com Lately
- 1:00:30Speaker 20: and met somebody with money and was like, oh, come up.
- 1:00:34Speaker 19: We ground it out from day one.
- 1:00:37Speaker 20: I was always there and supporting him and loving him.
- 1:00:41Speaker 20: And if he failed and wound up being a secretary
- 1:00:46Speaker 20: or anything followed another path, I would still be there.
- 1:00:51Speaker 9: You did that take it?
- 1:00:56Speaker 19: It took a beat to get that.
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: I can't believe what are you talking. I'm just suggesting
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: other career options that you couldn't take it.
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: So I can't believe he's with me, with my wife,
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: and it's like, you're disrespectful real life.
- 1:01:11Speaker 7: Really, thank you for having you guys.
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: That's right.
- 1:01:13Speaker 9: Pick it up today and it's.

- 1:01:26Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning.
- 1:01:36Speaker 13: That's Devil.
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: Breakfast Club. Well Donkey Today goes to a thirty eight
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: year old woman named Briyaka Riaka Benjamin Okay I'm also
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: at that age I simply don't understand what certain people
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: be on. So I treat it like I'm at a safari. Right, Well,
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: I'm on a safari. I'm just riding in a jeep,
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: cruising through the jungle. Keep all my limbs in the
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: car watching the action. Okay. And one thing I like
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: to watch is when people got beef with others and
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: they say, when I see my it's on site now.
- 1:02:08Speaker 3: A lot of folks be lying. Okay, a lot of
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: folks be telling the truth.
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: Though. See on site means it don't matter where you
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: at church, the doctor's office with your grandmother, a funeral
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: for your aunt. No, I said this on site and
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: on site means no matter this site it's on now.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: Just because I like to watch something doesn't mean I
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: agree with it. I was born in nineteen hundred and
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: seventy eight. Your uncle Shaulah got rules, and one of
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: those rules is that kids should always be protected. You
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: don't do nothing around kids. You put the kids in
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: harm's way, and you shouldn't put the kids in harm's
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: way in any way, shape or form. Okay. You hear
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: those tragic stories and people getting shot and killed while
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: they with their kids. People get shot and kid shot
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: and killed while holding their babies in their arm. That's
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: disgusting to me. Okay, you see someone with their child,
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: you say, you know what, I'll catch them later, which
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: also really don't make no sense, especially if you're dumb
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: ass plans to kill a person because you care about
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: kids enough not to want to harm the adult when
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: they around the child, but you are still willing to
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: take the adult off the earth and leave the child
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: without a parent. Dumb, stupid ass logic that makes no sense.
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: But if people made sense, then I wouldn't be able
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: to do donkey today every day for the last fourteen
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: years now. Briaka Benjamin, thirty eight years old walked into
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: the Holy grounds of Walmart, Okay, the cultural institution that
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: is Wiley's World, and she saw one of her ops. Oh,
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: she saw one of her ops and she must have
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: vowed that it was on site with this person because
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: Briaka had her six month old baby with her. I repeat,
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: Briaka had her six month old baby with her when
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: she saw her op and this happened. Let's go to
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: News fifteen for the report police.
- 1:03:42Speaker 5: A shocking story out of Unice a mother's behind bars
- 1:03:46Speaker 5: were simple battery and cruelty to juveniles. Priorities you'll see
- 1:03:49Speaker 5: Eunice Police were called to Walmart in response to a
- 1:03:52Speaker 5: fight near the front doors. Surveillance footage shows Brianka Benjamin,
- 1:03:56Speaker 5: who is thirty eight years old, holding her six month
- 1:03:58Speaker 5: old infant during an r argument before allegedly throwing her
- 1:04:02Speaker 5: baby in a trash can.
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: We'll repeat that she allegedly threw her baby in the
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: trash can before she got into a fight. As of
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: this morning, police say the infant safe and has been
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: entrusted to other family members. You couldn't pass the baby
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: to nobody. You couldn't leave the baby in the stroller.
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: The trash can is the best place you could find
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: to put your baby because you wanted to fight. Brianca
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: Benjamin saw her op. She had her six month old
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: baby with her and threw the baby in the trash
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: can to go square up. I don't know if her
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: op was the baby or the woman she was fighting
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: in the store. Okay, you couldn't even put the baby
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: in the recycle bin. Just just throw the baby in
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: the trash I've heard some wild reasons why folks threw
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: babies in the trash. Brenda threw her baby in the trash,
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: But Brenda Bailly had a brain. The girl could always
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: spell her name. Plus she was young and didn't want
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: the baby. Lusha's lying through Jamal and the trash for
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: being gay. But Jamal wasn't a baby, Okay, he was
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: big and gay. Right. There's no reason to put your
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: child in a trash can unless you're dressing them up
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: as oscar to ground for Halloween. This is why I
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: be telling folks to go to therapy. This is why
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: I'm such a mental health advocate, because we have to
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: get our minds right. There is no part of the
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: human brain that's your say. That's your say to you,
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: I see my op. I'm gonna throw my baby in
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: the trash so i can go fight. That baby in
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: your arm should be all the reason you need to
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: avoid the trouble. But what you did with that baby
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: in that moment, Brianca, is a reflection of you. It
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: is exactly how you see yourself. You had no problem
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: throwing your baby in the trash because you see yourself
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: and your life is trash. You don't love yourself. And
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: if you don't love yourself, it's impossible to love anyone
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: or anything else, I guess, including your child. Please get
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: Brianca Benjamin the biggest he hull.
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: No, no, that's crazy.
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: No, I see the stupid look in your eye. No
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: you won't play a game. No I wouldn't play game.
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: No did you can't? Her name is Brianca Benjamin. Okay, Brianca,
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: that's not like you should be on Street Fighter. Okay,
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: you know we're not playing the game. Did she win down?
- 1:06:08Speaker 14: And you know what?
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: Her name?
- 1:06:09Speaker 7: Prianca?
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: Trumk got a daughter named Preanca.
- 1:06:14Speaker 7: Prianca pre Uncle cut it off, man cut it somebody something.
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: Preanca sounded like a baby Trump would have with a
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: black mistress. But did she did she win to fight?
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: I don't know if she wanted not. That's that you're missing.
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: It don't matter if you want. She threw the baby
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: in the trash?
- 1:06:31Speaker 13: Do you think she gotta I think she was trying
- 1:06:33Speaker 13: to kill birds in one stone.
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: She didn't want to.
- 1:06:35Speaker 7: She wanted to fight the girl. God damn, what if
- 1:06:38Speaker 7: somebody would have came up and empty the trays.
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: Right exactly what he was doing, Joe, exactly? What if
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: she got her dumb ass knocked out? And then somebody
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: threw the trash out. Then what man?
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: But race was she?
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: I'm not playing with you. Let me alone or race

- 1:08:20Speaker 4: We are the breakfast Club.
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: We got a special guest in the belt because today
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: it's National co Parenting Day, so we had to bring
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: in a man who I feel like him and just
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: have one of the best co parenting relationships I've ever seen.
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: Rome is here, Room is here already call you, wow,
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: what happened? Just saying I want to know who gave
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: Room some liquor this morning?
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: And I was like, I didn't give it to him.
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: I just told them where the ball was. Help yourself,
- 1:08:46Speaker 3: help yourself, that's fine, And you said it was.
- 1:08:48Speaker 7: You said it was apple juice. That's I was about
- 1:08:51Speaker 7: to take a step.
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: And I was like, I was not you n one
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: apple juice. I just ain't thank you. Was gonna pick
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: the cup up you and just have the.
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: Best co parenting situation I've ever And how did y'all
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: get to this point?
- 1:09:01Speaker 3: And she thinks she's my mother first and foremost. But
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: it took time.
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: I felt like when you take the feelings out of it,
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: and you realize that the child is the most important
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: part of the relationship because it's still a readship. Whether
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: you're intimate or not. You can do magical things, magical things.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: And I think that me being a dad that I
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: was and that I am still today, I wanted that.
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: I felt like if we wasn't gonna be together, it
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: was no need for us to beef. We've created over time.
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: Whereas now she's my best friend, She's my safe space.
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, I convent to her because
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: sometimes all the time I need it. But I feel
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: like when I was pouring into these other women, they
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: would use it against me.
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: Whereas though now now that she's pregnant, I don't really
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: call her and say certain things because I know she's
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: gonna do certain things mentally now. So Jess is always
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: with my safe space though, so it's like she's always
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: been a person that I go to a call give
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: me advice, some advice I don't take, but just to hear,
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: but just to hear.
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: How give it to you, just to know that she
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: care because I don't really have nobody.
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: How did y'all, how did y'all meet how did you
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: meet Jess? And how did y'all start dating? Back then?
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: What did you see it? When it was like, oh,
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: this is this is somebody I want to know that.
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: It's crazy because we grew up on a smile. He's
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: starting to smile back because my mom, my mom was alive.
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: My mom died when I was tenth. My mom was alive.
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: We went to the same church. My mom died. My
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: father like really took me away from everybody.
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: So now it was like fast forward with like seventeen
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: Facebook and she came across my timeline and I was like, okay,
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: so I did a dot dot dot and I put
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: a basketball emoji.
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: You thought she was a way just shut up you
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: play with you?
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: She bid on it too, Okay.

- 1:10:49Speaker 1: my ball, coming to get with mine something like that,
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: and you want a basketball room.
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: I need to know.

- 1:11:09Speaker 3: Was you know, but it worked, It got attention. What
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: do you think just when you saw the basketball?
- 1:11:13Speaker 13: I just I said, what is this?

- 1:17:22Speaker 2: That is Justic's baby daddy.
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: Today is National co Parenting Day, and they are excellent
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: co parents and we're having a great conversation Charlamage.
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: So now when you hear this story and you say
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: to yourself, why they there on National co parent Day?
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: Because they are like the best of friends. Now they
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: call each other. Jess calls you her brother. How do
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: you feel about that?
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: How did y'all get there?
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: Do you look at her like your sister? You said, Mama,
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: I was gonna say what she said?
- 1:17:47Speaker 4: Created that like my mother?
- 1:17:49Speaker 3: Like when we are the town.
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna disclose too much, but thank you. No,
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: I just know control like you know how I am though,
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: like me and alone. I think part of that controlling
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: part is like cares and sometimes especially when I'm under
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: the influence, I've done dumbash so as.
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: Big as you know that you I don't know, just
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: assist in the back.
- 1:18:15Speaker 3: Everybody like you know, everybody knows.
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: But I hold myself accountable to that mind you Now,
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: I ain't gonna say you I learned for one of six,
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: so I don did a dumbash over and over again.
- 1:18:23Speaker 3: But I think in that aspect, that's.
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: When the mother of the mother with the v coming,
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: but the brother calling me brother and sister, we're like,
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: honestly without the child likes there, it's just seem like
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: Amazon cameras off, like you can't fake this, will make
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: this up?
- 1:18:38Speaker 10: Oh yeah, Rome started that room, started calling me sis first,
- 1:18:42Speaker 10: and then I started calling him bro. I you know,
- 1:18:45Speaker 10: I'm like, yeah, we do have like a sibling dynamic
- 1:18:47Speaker 10: in some way. You know, he's still confides in my mom.
- 1:18:51Speaker 10: He like my mom is our mother. Like it's not
- 1:18:55Speaker 10: it ain't nothing crazy, it's nothing intimate like, seriously, I
- 1:18:58Speaker 10: always say this.
- 1:18:58Speaker 7: People be like, yeah right, I can literally walk past and.
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: I don't do this.
- 1:19:03Speaker 7: But what I'm saying, I can walk past this man
- 1:19:05Speaker 7: NIGGD and he does. They be like, girl, what like
- 1:19:07Speaker 7: put that out? I'm talking about seriously, like how do y'all.
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: Know each other's spouses or each other's boyfriend and girlfriend?
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: Like how do you deal with his girl? And how
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: do you deal with.
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: Five?
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: I never told you, always tried. It's cool, though it's cool,
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: but this is and now this is the friction part.
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: Now we got over that.
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: But just the the friction part was I mo, my bendess,
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: don't getting her. But the friction part was her getting
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: into minds. But she's still a woman. I'm still a man.
- 1:19:40Speaker 3: So women tend to do that.
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: And this is not no shame of women. I don't
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: mean no disrespect by saying it, but I think women
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: tend to do that, especially a woman that care about you.
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: She said, sometimes you make bad decisions and she's there
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: as your sister to make sure you're good, regardless if
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: it's life relationship or whatever. Correct she said that with
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: me personally, I never really like I talked to her
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: about certain things, but I never really liked my family
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: to get into no intimate situation. Yeah, because guess what,
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: y'all feel a way about this person. However, y'all want
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: whether it's negative or good. If I'm gonna deal with
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: this person, I'm gonna deal with them like the female
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: can smash it out me yesterday.
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: I might get over them. But it's like that's why
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: I always That's how I was always able to distinguish
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: the two. Like when Jessica with hef men, when she
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: come to me like, I don't know, like I ain't
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: never pillow talking or sneak dish or nothing like I
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: don't really care for like it ain't nothing to have
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: that I don't if you put it in that sense.
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: But when she comes to me with a man, I
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: tell her ain't right. But both of y'all got to
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: care though, because you gonna want to know who around
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: your son. I never did though, Yeah, I never so
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: in the beginning stage, Yeah, don't have this summer.
- 1:20:47Speaker 3: But I grew out of that. So now it's I
- 1:20:50Speaker 3: trust my child mom enough to.
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: She won't bring no fast around my child, So I
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: don't say, oh, don't have this that's never been a problem.
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: It has been a problem was because envy me except
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: for my last dog.
- 1:21:04Speaker 3: Yeah, my dogs who dog? My dog, Chris, Chris, Chris
- 1:21:09Speaker 3: my dog. I ain't gonna hold he.
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: I think he's the I think like honestly, me and
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: jess Man like, I think it's been times where a
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: woman didn't like me and her situation.
- 1:21:18Speaker 10: But guess what, bye, yeah more so on and yeah
- 1:21:22Speaker 10: it'll be more so on his end because it's much
- 1:21:24Speaker 10: more of them. But the thing is, yeah, the thing
- 1:21:29Speaker 10: is like I don't like when because I even tell
- 1:21:33Speaker 10: him what he's doing wrong too, Like, yo, don't cheer
- 1:21:35Speaker 10: her like that.
- 1:21:36Speaker 7: This is how how how you going to introduce me
- 1:21:38Speaker 7: to it?
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: Now?
- 1:21:39Speaker 10: Now I done got to know where you know, and
- 1:21:42Speaker 10: whether she had a kid or not. Most of the
- 1:21:43Speaker 10: time it's the ones that have the kids. But it's like, yo,
- 1:21:46Speaker 10: you gotta do right or just be single, Like, don't
- 1:21:50Speaker 10: keep hurting women in the process of trying to find
- 1:21:54Speaker 10: what you're looking for. I mean, I know that's all
- 1:21:55Speaker 10: a part of dating, but when you have kids, it's different,
- 1:21:58Speaker 10: you know, And then here.
- 1:22:00Speaker 7: Be like, oh that's why I don't like you to
- 1:22:02Speaker 7: be getting into it.
- 1:22:03Speaker 10: You know, and then I don't like he he attracts
- 1:22:05Speaker 10: a lot of toxic women to like abusive relationships where
- 1:22:09Speaker 10: women will put their hands on them. I'm like, what, yeah,
- 1:22:11Speaker 10: all right, you know, but he don't. He's like, no,
- 1:22:15Speaker 10: but I might be with them. All what she just
- 1:22:18Speaker 10: black your eye? What are you talking about? You know
- 1:22:19Speaker 10: what I'm saying, like, no, we're not doing it.
- 1:22:21Speaker 3: But Claire, I never had a black guy.
- 1:22:23Speaker 10: Okay, well she busts your nose whatever. Women have put
- 1:22:27Speaker 10: their hands on you, and that's.
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: Why, and that's why she's my dog. Like I think
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: she's the only one really honestly, the one to get
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: the under my skin, Like it's a certain wordplace she
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: used and I don't care what tone she used it in,
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: but to say that, it's like I was really never
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: told how to love. When I moved my dad, my
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: dad move my dad and my step mom, which is
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: my mom. Now me and my mom have a great relationship.
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: That's my step mom and my dad was married, but
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: my dad was cheating, like saying, like my dad, my
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: dad showing me that, right, I'm thinking cool, So like
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: when even when I started dealing with women and stuff
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: like that, multiple women and all that. My dad was like, yeah, absolutely,
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: and I'm thinking it's cool because that's that's what That's
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm being taught like and every man
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: in my life that I looked at as a role
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: model to me was the same way.
- 1:23:23Speaker 3: So it's like what you expect.
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: But the good thing is now it's like I'm old
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: enough now in mind you I ain't perfect. Now I'm
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: seeing it. I'm trying to, you know, change it. But
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: I've never was taught to love properly. So and I
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: never my trust issues up from my dad because I'm
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: seeing what he's doing, but I'm saying when it's done
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: to him, his reactions like, damn, you were just doing this,
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: how you're gonna get mad? Right, So it's like every
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: relationship I've went into, I had an exploration date me,
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: I put an xtray on myself. I say, she's gonna
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: get she gonna get get what I'm getting.
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: I'm gone.
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: So I never really gave a woman the up commitment,
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: not even commitment, but I've never give the woman a
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: chance to.
- 1:24:04Speaker 3: Really love me.
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: But even with the kids, like even having kids, No,
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: I haven't.
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: And this is like I said, no distract to my
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: children moms. A lot of my my children came out
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: of vulnerability, explain and explaining that. So I will meet
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: a woman who I may feel like she's what I need,
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: another safe place, or whatever the case may be, but
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: I'm already vulnerable from a previous relationship. I have a child,
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: knowing I don't want to be with this woman, but
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: I feel like I'm forced to be with it because
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: it's a child.
- 1:24:32Speaker 3: M And I've done that.
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: You know multiple times times you needed a therapist, not
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: another baby, Mama.

- 1:24:44Speaker 1: You know women, You know when women can, they be
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: masked up. But like I never really knew how to
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: be alone. Like I feel like I got to have
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: somebody laying next to me because even before my mom died,
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: my mom always sleep neked.
- 1:24:57Speaker 3: This is a back then thing. How old were you,
- 1:25:00Speaker 3: I was telling? But I was a mommy's boy.

- 1:25:07Speaker 3: I never really agrieved.
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: All I did was I thought it was gonna help
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: me by going to school for social work, because that's
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: what she was.
- 1:25:13Speaker 3: But I never really probably a grieved, and that's a
- 1:25:15Speaker 3: that's a process.
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: Now.
- 1:25:16Speaker 3: I do want to get, you know, back in the gym.

- 1:25:19Speaker 1: everything else around me to be in text so that
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: I could fully commit, because if I ain't fully committed,

- 1:26:12Speaker 3: can go first.
- 1:26:13Speaker 13: Because I'm still thinking.
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: When I stopped caring about who she dealt with, when
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: I wouldn't even like I wouldn't even care, Like, how.
- 1:26:21Speaker 3: Did that take three years? Or like my action was
- 1:26:24Speaker 3: like three still?
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: Really yeah, it was like three years, but at that
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: but honestly that three years, like I had caught a
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: big check.
- 1:26:33Speaker 3: So it's like, you know, I was almost half a
- 1:26:35Speaker 3: million dollars, So it was like the pain that I had.
- 1:26:39Speaker 3: Whatever the case, I would I would pay. I would
- 1:26:41Speaker 3: like just bout block it out.
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: But other than that, like you ain't trying to stunt
- 1:26:45Speaker 2: on her a little bit?
- 1:26:46Speaker 3: No, I never, no, I never, no, I never. I'm
- 1:26:49Speaker 3: waiting for that.
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: I never intentionally stunned on her. I never did that.
- 1:26:53Speaker 2: Never.
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: I did everything she possibly could ask me to dig.
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: She said on a uh one of these souls something
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: about a B G. E bill, And I'm address that.
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: I never one ded.
- 1:27:07Speaker 3: I'm addressed that now with the bill. So I'm explaining
- 1:27:11Speaker 3: her lights got cut off.
- 1:27:13Speaker 2: I got a five hundred thousand dollars checking listen, No.
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: It wasn't right then and there. It's over time, mind
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: you because like mind a lot of my place.
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: She helped me.
- 1:27:22Speaker 3: She helped me get a lot on the back man.
- 1:27:24Speaker 3: But in a time like I helped her. Whatever the case,
- 1:27:27Speaker 3: I didn't know she was moving with a man.
- 1:27:29Speaker 7: I didn't move with the man.
- 1:27:30Speaker 3: Well she moved man in with her. Yeah all right, okay,
