- 8:12Speaker 1: you up your chest? All first things I want to
- 8:15Speaker 1: just say I called last year around the actually one
- 8:18Speaker 1: year ago to this day, and yeah, last year cold
- 8:21Speaker 1: and I told you guys, I have forgotten my mother's birthday.
- 8:24Speaker 1: I just want to wash your happy birthday again yesterday.
- 8:27Speaker 1: I'm don't get this calm. I want to washyt happy birthday.
- 8:31Speaker 1: And I want to ask y'all something about the economy, man, Like,
- 8:34Speaker 1: what do you think about what you think is gonna
- 8:36Speaker 1: go on with the economy for the next year. I'm
- 8:38Speaker 1: in a truck and I'm gonna truck drive my home
- 8:40Speaker 1: own truck. I'm trying to figure out you. I'll even
- 8:43Speaker 1: want to stay in this at on, want to gett
- 8:45Speaker 1: out of you. I think it's gonna get tight. I
- 8:46Speaker 1: think I think inflation is gonna raise a lot when
- 8:50Speaker 1: it comes to interest rates on homes, interest rates on cars.
- 8:52Speaker 1: I think grocery prices are gonna go even higher. I
- 8:55Speaker 1: think a lot of people are gonna lose their homes.
- 8:56Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are gonna lose their
- 8:59Speaker 1: high end things. And I think we need to rebound
- 9:01Speaker 1: and get things back to normal. I think it's crazy
- 9:03Speaker 1: that we can send billions and billions of dollars to
- 9:05Speaker 1: all these other countries, but we can't help our own
- 9:07Speaker 1: and make sure things level out here. We think it's
- 9:09Speaker 1: gonna be tight. So if you got money, hold to
- 9:11Speaker 1: it right and nay about the economy. If they don't
- 9:16Speaker 1: figure out this, that's the only thing we're gonna really
- 9:18Speaker 1: be in trouble. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. And
- 9:22Speaker 1: we know another thing too, is like these people, these
- 9:25Speaker 1: people don't understand how Hey, the American trucks, the American
- 9:29Speaker 1: trunk and industry is like it seems like it's a fall.
- 9:32Speaker 1: It's all fall. And if it's gonna do yeah, yeah,
- 9:36Speaker 1: how we're gonna get good. It's gonna be hard getting
- 9:37Speaker 1: good in the services already, it already takes a long
- 9:39Speaker 1: time to you. Yeah, nobody's gonna be doing work for
- 9:43Speaker 1: free out here. But they're trying to box you guys
- 9:44Speaker 1: out all away because they're trying to create electric trucks.
- 9:46Speaker 1: That electric eighteen wheel is that they won't actually need drivers.
- 9:50Speaker 1: So I mean, that's that's gonna be really tough on
- 9:52Speaker 1: your industry. Let me ask you something, you trust the
- 9:55Speaker 1: Trump Trump going down a road eighty thousand pounds with
- 9:58Speaker 1: no driving it. I don't, I don't, But but if
- 10:03Speaker 1: you see what they're doing on the bridges and tolls,
- 10:05Speaker 1: you know, I mean, there's no more people anymore now,
- 10:07Speaker 1: which all electric, So all those people lost their jobs.
- 10:09Speaker 1: If you look at what they're doing in the trains
- 10:10Speaker 1: and the buses, a lot of those people have lost
- 10:12Speaker 1: their jobs. So it's gonna be real difficult out there. Robots.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Take vy. I got I got an idea for you,
- 10:20Speaker 1: though I know you're still doing the arm the uh
- 10:23Speaker 1: the car shoot stuff right, yes, sir, all right, I
- 10:26Speaker 1: know I got I got a crazy idea and not
- 10:28Speaker 1: a crazy idea, but they ain't even trademarking to Breakfast
- 10:36Speaker 1: Club Good Morning, the Breakfast Club sty with the Georgia's
- 10:42Speaker 1: Southern University. Yes. Now, and you wanted to be in
- 10:46Speaker 1: sports broadcasting? Yeah, and what happened? Um? I think I
- 10:50Speaker 1: just wanted to be on TV. Man. It wasn't really
- 10:52Speaker 1: about doing sports broadcasting. It was just like something I
- 10:56Speaker 1: knew I could go to school for it to like,
- 10:58Speaker 1: you know, entertain I just I didn't know. I knew
- 11:00Speaker 1: my parents wanted me to go to school, So I'm like, God,
- 11:02Speaker 1: I'm gonna figure out the way to stay at school
- 11:04Speaker 1: and do some cool you know, so yeah, that was
- 11:07Speaker 1: like to go to just for just to do that though,
- 11:09Speaker 1: but I ended up doing what I really wanted to it. Now,
- 11:11Speaker 1: you know, did you make that pivot? Um? Dropping at
- 11:15Speaker 1: high school? I mean dropping dropping high school, dropping out
- 11:18Speaker 1: of college. So what year did you drop out? I
- 11:21Speaker 1: think I did one year at uh GGC, which is
- 11:25Speaker 1: like a closed school to where I'm from. UM. Then
- 11:29Speaker 1: I went to Georgia Southern and I did like half
- 11:32Speaker 1: a semester Jesus, and just stopped going to classes. Just
- 11:35Speaker 1: all all in. Let's talk about that mindset. Like, man,
- 11:38Speaker 1: I never went to college period. But so what made
- 11:40Speaker 1: you realize that, you know, you know what college isn't
- 11:42Speaker 1: the move from me? UM? I think bro just going
- 11:46Speaker 1: up Those classes are so big you don't even have
- 11:48Speaker 1: like a real like like connection with none of the teachers.
- 11:52Speaker 1: I think when I started at the smaller school, I
- 11:54Speaker 1: was cool because I still knew people where I was from.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Everybody's still cool with each other. You know, it felt
- 11:59Speaker 1: like high school again. You know that's another year high school.
- 12:02Speaker 1: You get up to those big colleges. I thought it
- 12:03Speaker 1: was about to be like party. You know what I'm saying.
- 12:06Speaker 1: You watched movies like atl or drum line and stuff,
- 12:09Speaker 1: and you see like kind of like the college talk
- 12:10Speaker 1: about you huh. And I thought it was gonna be
- 12:13Speaker 1: like that, but nah, man, I went all the way
- 12:15Speaker 1: out there to that party school and I ended up
- 12:18Speaker 1: hating it. Broa, it just wasn't I went out there
- 12:23Speaker 1: for other reasons. I went out there thinking this is
- 12:25Speaker 1: like the lifestyle I could live, like, yeah, this is
- 12:28Speaker 1: the real college lifestyle, and ended up just heading me
- 12:31Speaker 1: in the mouth for it. Like partying and women with you. Yeah,
- 12:36Speaker 1: I wanted that, man. I wanted a real college experience
- 12:38Speaker 1: because when you go to those small colleges, you don't
- 12:40Speaker 1: get that. Like I said, like it's a high school again.
- 12:43Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, I'm a step out here.
- 12:45Speaker 1: I'm trying to I'm trying to get my my deal on,
- 12:47Speaker 1: you know. But yeah, I needed that though, because I
- 12:50Speaker 1: ended up figuring out that I wanted to be a
- 12:52Speaker 1: comedian when I didn't go to class at other semester.
- 12:55Speaker 1: So basically you went to college and was like, damn,
- 12:57Speaker 1: we still got to do work. Yeah. Yeah, it's actually
- 13:00Speaker 1: worse because the teachers don't they don't they don't give
- 13:02Speaker 1: a crap about you. You gotta show up, you gotta
- 13:04Speaker 1: do your work. Yeah, you don't walk in It's a lectures.
- 13:08Speaker 1: A thousand people sitting in here. They don't care who
- 13:10Speaker 1: you are. You walking man, listen, man, it ain't it.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Let's go back to Okay, we're going back. I was
- 13:17Speaker 1: gonna say, let's go back before college, let's go back
- 13:20Speaker 1: before high school, because it just don't just start. You
- 13:23Speaker 1: just don't start being funny. Like I can watch you
- 13:25Speaker 1: and tell this guy is naturally funny. It's not performative.
- 13:28Speaker 1: You had to be the class clown and just rupt
- 13:30Speaker 1: here in school something. Um, yeah I was. I was
- 13:32Speaker 1: always a class clown man since I was like an
- 13:34Speaker 1: elementary school. But I didn't know that's what I wanted.
- 13:39Speaker 1: I actually I wanted to do that, but I didn't
- 13:41Speaker 1: know it was like a real profession that could like
- 13:44Speaker 1: be my career. You know. So, Like I'm young, and
- 13:47Speaker 1: I used to go to the second third grade and
- 13:49Speaker 1: I used to ask kids be like, who do you
- 13:51Speaker 1: think the funniest in our classes? And they'd be like, oh,
- 13:53Speaker 1: you're so funny man, Like you know, I thought that
- 13:55Speaker 1: was like the cool thing. So every year, like my
- 13:57Speaker 1: goal was like, yeah, I'm gonna I'm the funny in
- 14:00Speaker 1: this whole grade, Like I want everybody to agree that
- 14:02Speaker 1: I'm the funniest. So it's just something my small I
- 14:05Speaker 1: was put in the back of my head. But I
- 14:06Speaker 1: never thought I would really end up making it a career. Honestly,
- 14:10Speaker 1: I just didn't think too deep into it. But I
- 14:12Speaker 1: definitely have always been a class comment what you do
- 14:15Speaker 1: back in the day that you realize, like when you
- 14:17Speaker 1: think about it now, that I went too far back then? Um,
- 14:20Speaker 1: all the ass whoppers? Man, my dad was whooping my ass?
- 14:25Speaker 1: What did I go too far on? What? In elementary school? Yeah,
- 14:28Speaker 1: like frank wise, let me give me but the trauma
- 14:32Speaker 1: I'd rather hear about the trauma from the asshood used
- 14:36Speaker 1: to make fun of this kid that was mentally challenged.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Oh man, right, and he would make fun of this
- 14:42Speaker 1: kid all all the time until one day the kid
- 14:44Speaker 1: turned around. As he didn't beat my ass, he choked me,
- 14:48Speaker 1: so difference to put me in the doughfee. He put

- 15:45Speaker 1: old people from the Internet aren't real comics. Yeah, well
- 15:47Speaker 1: do you think I bring this tea up here? Though?
- 15:49Speaker 1: It look like yeah, so look like I know what
- 15:51Speaker 1: I'm talking about. I've seen the OG's coming up here

- 16:15Speaker 1: just to look now when you're going to a little
- 16:18Speaker 1: bit with drama and uh whis Khalifa and all those
- 16:22Speaker 1: I was doing that because you're a comedian. Amongst all
- 16:24Speaker 1: these artists, that's difficult because they want to see people before. Um,
- 16:28Speaker 1: you're saying, like when we're just chilling hanging out. Oh,

- 16:54Speaker 1: think you just gotta you gotta go through the hardwark.
- 16:56Speaker 1: The first thing Kevin Hart told me when I I
- 17:00Speaker 1: went to his show, and I went backstage and I
- 17:02Speaker 1: was like I was just watching him, you know, everybody congratulating, like,
- 17:05Speaker 1: oh my god, it's a great show, Oh my god.
- 17:07Speaker 1: And I was just look at him from across the
- 17:08Speaker 1: room because they invited me to the green room, and
- 17:10Speaker 1: I'm just like, I, alright, when's my moment to say
- 17:12Speaker 1: what's up? You know, like I was kind of nervous,
- 17:14Speaker 1: you know, and I'm expecting just to be like, yo,
- 17:16Speaker 1: you did, you had a great show. Dude breezes past
- 17:19Speaker 1: me and he looks at me and said, stop being

- 17:26Speaker 1: standing out like for hey, what's up? Man? Like, hey,

- 17:33Speaker 1: I'm like, what the so I'm asking his boys. I'm like, yo,
- 17:36Speaker 1: what Yo, what's Kevin talking about? Real? Yeah? And he
- 17:39Speaker 1: walked up to me and yeah, he said, get on

- 17:45Speaker 1: to do stand up. He was like, you're doing all
- 17:47Speaker 1: the little holes in the tours, he said, but you

- 18:25Speaker 1: I was just going on an open mic, and um, yeah,
- 18:28Speaker 1: it just felt very flat or the joke about I'm
- 18:31Speaker 1: trying to remember I think I told a story. Yeah, yeah,
- 18:35Speaker 1: that I just wanted to race that from my mind.
- 18:37Speaker 1: I can't think of the joke I said, but it
- 18:39Speaker 1: was something about like my past. Yeah, it fell flat, dumb,
- 18:43Speaker 1: like I think somebody somebody clapped like in an an
- 18:46Speaker 1: agreement with me, and I knew. I said, Okay, that
- 18:49Speaker 1: wasn't what I wanted. I'm not I'm not I'm not
- 18:51Speaker 1: up here, man. Somebody somebody start you know, They're like okay,
- 18:56Speaker 1: and I'm like expecting the laugh here. So now this
- 19:01Speaker 1: is recent, So this is Drew Sky. Drew, Yeah, millions
- 19:04Speaker 1: of following your old toy. You go on stage. They
- 19:06Speaker 1: cheering because they're excited to see you. You tell her.
- 19:08Speaker 1: I said it straight. I tell them as soon as
- 19:09Speaker 1: I get out that said, hey man, I'm working on stuff. Yeah,
- 19:12Speaker 1: I don't expect nothing because they you know, people try
- 19:14Speaker 1: to stand up standing ova show. But you know, when
- 19:17Speaker 1: you're working on your set for like a big show
- 19:19Speaker 1: that's coming up, you gott I just walked up there
- 19:22Speaker 1: and say, hey, y'all know, hey, I am Drew Sky. Yes,
- 19:24Speaker 1: but I'm working on stuff. Don't expect no big you
- 19:27Speaker 1: know my best jokes right now, you know. But that's
- 19:30Speaker 1: how you get better though, That's that's the best way stage.
- 19:32Speaker 1: When they after they did that just right there, I
- 19:36Speaker 1: think I tried to say something else and uh, yeah,
- 19:39Speaker 1: I follow I said, that's my time. You know, just
- 19:41Speaker 1: try to say you try to do something and just yeah,
- 19:43Speaker 1: that's my time, y'all think, Uh, I want to go
- 19:45Speaker 1: back to what you said about the best show. We
- 19:46Speaker 1: came about the worst show, like a stuff? What was
- 19:51Speaker 1: the best that you remember your best show yet. Um,
- 19:54Speaker 1: I think my best show I did I did a
- 19:56Speaker 1: piece of could have been when I was on the
- 19:58Speaker 1: Little Baby and Chris Brown tour and uh, I had
- 20:01Speaker 1: this dude come out who was previously on my Instagram
- 20:05Speaker 1: live and he came out and dance and like the crowd,
- 20:09Speaker 1: it was hilarious, Like I was just reacting to everything
- 20:11Speaker 1: he did and it was that was really good. So
- 20:14Speaker 1: you wasn't telling no jokes. It was it was, yeah,
- 20:18Speaker 1: it was. It was. It was like improv, you know.
- 20:20Speaker 1: It was like I was just out there just wilding
- 20:22Speaker 1: out like I was with the crowd and you know
- 20:24Speaker 1: all that. Sorry for customs look ahead. But to that point,
- 20:27Speaker 1: I knew exactly when you when Kevin said stopped being
- 20:29Speaker 1: a bitch, I knew exactly what he was saying to you,
- 20:31Speaker 1: because that's what all ogs do. But do you have
- 20:35Speaker 1: to hit the stage that might not be your thing. Yeah,
- 20:38Speaker 1: I mean, but he's saying stop being a bitch, as
- 20:42Speaker 1: in like, go out there and try it before you
- 20:44Speaker 1: act like you're too good to be doing or don't
- 20:46Speaker 1: be out here acting like you you know, don't be
- 20:49Speaker 1: acting like you too and you ain't even tried something
- 20:52Speaker 1: that you know it could be potentially huge for you.
- 20:54Speaker 1: So you're not necessarily saying I have to be a
- 20:57Speaker 1: stand up community. He's just saying, like, yo, try it.
- 21:00Speaker 1: What do you Because on the flip side, they stand
- 21:02Speaker 1: up comedians that can't do what you do. One they
- 21:05Speaker 1: can't do they're not good in sketch like you might
- 21:07Speaker 1: be a great sketch performer. Not saying that you can't
- 21:10Speaker 1: be both. I'm just saying you might be. That might
- 21:12Speaker 1: be your lane. Right. Only time will tell. Only time,

- 23:18Speaker 1: are we leaving in twenty twenty three, I mean twenty
- 23:20Speaker 1: twenty two. I'm gonna tell you something else, man. I
- 23:22Speaker 1: told you going into twenty twenty three. I really want
- 23:25Speaker 1: to see people grow up. And it's crazy to be
- 23:27Speaker 1: forty four years old and be telling other forty four
- 23:30Speaker 1: year olds that they need to grow up. But I
- 23:31Speaker 1: do really want to see men grow up. I want
- 23:33Speaker 1: us to be able to, you know, have conversations with
- 23:35Speaker 1: each other without the conflict. That's why I'm trying expressing
- 23:37Speaker 1: brothers to go to therapy to deal with that hurt,
- 23:39Speaker 1: that pain that they haven't signed them. But I'm gonna
- 23:41Speaker 1: tell you something else more. I've been hearing a lot
- 23:42Speaker 1: of forty somethings have conversations about like money and wealth
- 23:48Speaker 1: and things of that nature, and they're talking about it
- 23:50Speaker 1: from the perspective of what they're wearing. That sounds so crazy.
- 23:54Speaker 1: They're like, oh, such and such, you ain't getting no
- 23:56Speaker 1: money because you know, it doesn't have to be forty,
- 23:58Speaker 1: could be thirty or twenty or even basis in their
- 24:01Speaker 1: wealth off of jewelry, of cars, they having cash that
- 24:04Speaker 1: they could hold up today. Oh my god, Yeah, I
- 24:06Speaker 1: think we need to do well. Flew to my good
- 24:08Speaker 1: brother John Hope Brian Man. John Hope Brian says, if
- 24:11Speaker 1: the only asset you have is on your ass, you're
- 24:14Speaker 1: doing something wrong. Absolutely so please can we leave that
- 24:17Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two for all ages, but especially I
- 24:20Speaker 1: cannot believe it's for talking like that. That's crazy to me. Hello,
- 24:24Speaker 1: who's this? My name is Lisa. Hi, Lisa, Come on
- 24:29Speaker 1: and Lisa Mining. I'm calling because I'm leaving behind now
- 24:36Speaker 1: people and cheat and guys. Oh boy, we'll stop dating
- 24:42Speaker 1: everybody except for black men because black men don't cheat.
- 24:45Speaker 1: Blast men are the cheater? Could you stop? Why are
- 24:48Speaker 1: you like this? We should leave lying in twenty twenty two.
- 24:51Speaker 1: I tell such a tale. I'm sorry you got cheated
- 24:54Speaker 1: on mama. Yeah, and you're right, you should. We should
- 24:56Speaker 1: leave cheating as women and men in twenty twenty two,
- 24:58Speaker 1: and the ain't no black men cheating. No young young
- 25:01Speaker 1: black boys are cheating. But what black men are not cheating?
- 25:04Speaker 1: How what do you consider t J. Holmes huh okay
- 25:07Speaker 1: age to cheat? What do you mean I think that,
- 25:14Speaker 1: I think that we shouldn't. I don't know what you're
- 25:15Speaker 1: talking about. No, you just said how old? How old
- 25:18Speaker 1: are you? How old are you? Howld you? Mama? How
- 25:20Speaker 1: old are you? And how old was? How old was
- 25:23Speaker 1: the last white man that cheats on you? The white man?
- 25:28Speaker 1: How old? He's still a little boy, That's what I'm
- 25:31Speaker 1: telling you. He's still a young man. Like how old
- 25:35Speaker 1: was taken? Let me think. Let me see, I got
- 25:40Speaker 1: there around thirty six, thirty six. It took you to
- 25:44Speaker 1: be a grown man. It took me. I got there.
- 25:46Speaker 1: I got there around thirty six. But I'm not saying
- 25:48Speaker 1: that you should. I'm not saying you should wait that long.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Huh you married ever? I've been with my my wife
- 25:56Speaker 1: took him some time, my money four years. We've been
- 25:58Speaker 1: married since two thousand. For team, take up some time, Bud.
- 26:02Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you the difference. Man. All jokes aside. Seriously,
- 26:05Speaker 1: it's all about being intentional about doing the work on themselves.
- 26:09Speaker 1: If you're intentional about growth, if you're intentional about being
- 26:13Speaker 1: a good man, you will go do the work on yourself.
- 26:16Speaker 1: So you know, you don't have women calling up to
- 26:19Speaker 1: the radio station sad like how she sounds this morning?
- 26:21Speaker 1: She sounds very sad like this club, good morning, who
- 26:25Speaker 1: breakfast club? Already everybody's d n V. Charlemagne the guy.
- 26:30Speaker 1: We all the breakfast club. We got a special guest
- 26:33Speaker 1: in the building. And how to be loved ladies and gentlemen,
- 26:37Speaker 1: humble the public, flok you sorry, thank you so much
- 26:40Speaker 1: for having me. What's up, my guy? What inspired this book? Man?
- 26:43Speaker 1: Trying to figure out where I kept going wrong and
- 26:45Speaker 1: love so pretty much it's been like, how come I'm
- 26:47Speaker 1: not feeling love? How come I'm not receiving love even
- 26:50Speaker 1: being in beautiful relationships? And then going down this journey
- 26:53Speaker 1: and trying to figure out what to do, and started
- 26:56Speaker 1: reading every love coach of the philosopher, all the religious
- 26:59Speaker 1: tes psychologist, everything and being at the front of the class,
- 27:03Speaker 1: taking as many notes as possible. And the first thing
- 27:05Speaker 1: I realized is like, I have so much love in
- 27:06Speaker 1: my life, I'm not receiving it that built up all
- 27:09Speaker 1: these walls. I thought all these walls were protecting me,
- 27:12Speaker 1: but really they were just serving as a prison, keeping
- 27:15Speaker 1: me out. Because now it's because you don't love yourself.
- 27:18Speaker 1: I think I didn't know how to love myself. I
- 27:20Speaker 1: didn't understand even though it's extremely simple, not easy but simple.
- 27:24Speaker 1: I didn't understand how important it is if you don't
- 27:26Speaker 1: have love for yourself or you don't cultivate that relationship,
- 27:28Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what your relationship with anybody else is.
- 27:31Speaker 1: Did you find love? Did you actually find it all?
- 27:33Speaker 1: Is it still a mission? Still looking? So what I
- 27:36Speaker 1: realized is you can't find love. Love is always there
- 27:39Speaker 1: and it's about realizing love. So the analogy I like
- 27:42Speaker 1: uses like love is like a breeze and you have
- 27:44Speaker 1: to open your sales to love. It's not about looking
- 27:47Speaker 1: for the breeze, is about doing the work to open
- 27:48Speaker 1: the sales. Do you know the definition of love? Because
- 27:51Speaker 1: in my relationship, I didn't necessarily know the definition of
- 27:55Speaker 1: love to me, like, you know what people tell you
- 27:57Speaker 1: what love is, and I didn't know the actual death
- 28:00Speaker 1: nition of what love is. Just so do you know
- 28:02Speaker 1: the definition or do you break that down. Yeah. So
- 28:04Speaker 1: there's a beautiful quote by Naval cont that says love
- 28:07Speaker 1: is what's left when all other emotions are gone. So
- 28:09Speaker 1: and I think what that is in got peace. So
- 28:12Speaker 1: love isn't something that you have to find the choir
- 28:15Speaker 1: earn or when did you clean up the clutter, get
- 28:17Speaker 1: rid of everything else? And then what's less is love?
- 28:20Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question one moment. So, if
- 28:22Speaker 1: you love somebody right and you know how people say
- 28:26Speaker 1: you know you might be. You might see a couple
- 28:28Speaker 1: and the man cheat to a woman or the woman
- 28:30Speaker 1: cheats on a man. Can they possibly love that person
- 28:32Speaker 1: if they would cheat on them or if they get
- 28:35Speaker 1: into an altercation or is it domestic violence? Could you
- 28:37Speaker 1: love that person and fight them? You know? I mean,
- 28:40Speaker 1: could you love that person and knowingly hurt them? It's
- 28:43Speaker 1: that love. So the better way to frame it, and
- 28:46Speaker 1: this is a Peter Crone idea, is instead of saying
- 28:48Speaker 1: I love you, you say you show me where love is,
- 28:50Speaker 1: because again, the love is constant. What you're doing is
- 28:52Speaker 1: you develop a relationship with somebody and you create a
- 28:54Speaker 1: pathway of love. So then the problem is what we
- 28:57Speaker 1: do to mess up that pathways? We start focusing on
- 29:00Speaker 1: things like control, power, attention, validation, all these things that
- 29:05Speaker 1: kind of feel like love, but they're not actually loved,
- 29:07Speaker 1: because if they were actually loved, love is like I
- 29:10Speaker 1: don't need anything else, all these other things I need
- 29:13Speaker 1: more and more and more and more. It's not having everything,
- 29:15Speaker 1: it's not needing anything. So we're talking about stuff like this,
- 29:17Speaker 1: you're talking about unhealthy relationship dynamics and not have them
- 29:21Speaker 1: to do with love. And what that's actually doing is
- 29:23Speaker 1: closing the pathways of love between you and somebody else
- 29:25Speaker 1: like me and you. Over the years we've chatted, we
- 29:28Speaker 1: are creating a bond over time. Now if I do
- 29:31Speaker 1: something disrespectful, I'm closing that bond. I'm closing that pathway.
- 29:34Speaker 1: So does that mean you don't necessarily love them the
- 29:37Speaker 1: way that you say you do? Right? Because if I
- 29:39Speaker 1: love something, or I'm in love with something or not
- 29:42Speaker 1: in love, but if I love something right, I'm gonna
- 29:44Speaker 1: do everything. Oh, I should do everything not to hurt
- 29:47Speaker 1: that person or not to show or not to close
- 29:49Speaker 1: that pathway, like you said, because if I close that pathway,
- 29:51Speaker 1: that means I'm not showing them love. That means I
- 29:54Speaker 1: actually don't love him. Like I say, I do. Yeah,
- 29:56Speaker 1: So part of loving yourself is going easy on yourself
- 29:58Speaker 1: because none of us are perfect, so we're all gonna
- 30:00Speaker 1: make mistakes. So it's looking at it from that perspective
- 30:03Speaker 1: as well, not like what I should do when I
- 30:05Speaker 1: love somebody's a lot of that's going to be cultured.
- 30:07Speaker 1: Depends on where you are in the world. The definition
- 30:09Speaker 1: of marriage is different, the definition of monogamy is different,
- 30:12Speaker 1: definition all these definitions are different. When you have love
- 30:14Speaker 1: for somebody, you are you are doing your best to
- 30:17Speaker 1: serve them. And what you realize is trying to serve
- 30:20Speaker 1: one person is completely different than trying to serve somebody else,
- 30:22Speaker 1: And depending on where they're at, you know, and it's
- 30:24Speaker 1: not something I gotta win. I don't have to deserve it.
- 30:27Speaker 1: I don't have to be worthy of love. I don't
- 30:28Speaker 1: have to be enough for love. Everybody we know in
- 30:31Speaker 1: our lives that we love, we know all their imperfections.
- 30:34Speaker 1: None of that just qualifies them from love. None of
- 30:36Speaker 1: that means they don't deserve to be loved. And then also,
- 30:39Speaker 1: you know, you guys are both parents. You would have
- 30:41Speaker 1: held your children and loved them immediately. You know, love
- 30:44Speaker 1: doesn't requires to do or be anything. You know, when
- 30:46Speaker 1: you say a person who said person can show me love?
- 30:50Speaker 1: What the quote? You show me where love is? You
- 30:52Speaker 1: show me what love is. I don't know if that
- 30:54Speaker 1: can be received if you don't, if you don't know
- 30:57Speaker 1: what love is like you know, I'm talking to humble
- 31:00Speaker 1: like I didn't have humble long bery needs to me
- 31:01Speaker 1: and humble talk. But like your first, last, and best
- 31:03Speaker 1: love should be self love. If you don't know what
- 31:05Speaker 1: love feels like, you won't even know what you're being showed.
- 31:10Speaker 1: And it's the same, the exact same recipe for me
- 31:12Speaker 1: and you to develop a stronger bond, it's got to
- 31:15Speaker 1: be vulnerability for you and you to develop a stronger bond.
- 31:18Speaker 1: It's got to be vulnerability, you know, for you and
- 31:20Speaker 1: your wife to develop a stronger bonds, gotta be vulnerability.
- 31:22Speaker 1: You guys have to go out on dates. You guys
- 31:24Speaker 1: have to be sharies things which you have to be.
- 31:26Speaker 1: You have to be willing to take a risk of
- 31:28Speaker 1: getting hurt. And the same thing with yourself. Journaline being
- 31:31Speaker 1: honest with yourself. Prayer, irrespective of what your religious beliefs are.
- 31:36Speaker 1: When people pray, that is the time they are the
- 31:38Speaker 1: most honest about what they want and the most honest
- 31:41Speaker 1: about what they're grateful for. So it's not performative. When
- 31:43Speaker 1: you do that, you become much more vulnerable with yourself
- 31:46Speaker 1: instead of looking at this on some surface level stuff
- 31:48Speaker 1: where people are literally just outsourcing the antidote to their
- 31:52Speaker 1: loneliness by having another person around. But the antidote to
- 31:56Speaker 1: loneliness isn't having people around you, it's being connected. Now,
- 31:59Speaker 1: what do you think we get to the point where,
- 32:01Speaker 1: like you know, one of your Instagram phase, we know
- 32:03Speaker 1: you would come in, you know, looked upon the book
- 32:05Speaker 1: and you posted a picture of yourself and no shirt on. Right,
- 32:08Speaker 1: where do we change where people would make fun of
- 32:12Speaker 1: or talk about people that weren't in shape? Right? Where
- 32:15Speaker 1: people talking about dad bods? And I just remember a
- 32:17Speaker 1: time growing up as a kid, everybody in the beach
- 32:20Speaker 1: was all sides, shapes, big, small, people in shape, people
- 32:23Speaker 1: not in shape. But where do we get to that
- 32:25Speaker 1: place in society where it's like people only love a
- 32:28Speaker 1: certain type of body, where they feel like if anything
- 32:30Speaker 1: is not that chiseled and eight pack or six pack. Now,
- 32:34Speaker 1: why you go to those job, bro? It's a personal bro,
- 32:36Speaker 1: What's the next man you're gonna get on the steroid.
- 32:39Speaker 1: It's a personal bro like you shard of when do
- 32:42Speaker 1: we get to that place as a society where it
- 32:43Speaker 1: almost feels like we don't love ourselves, that we want
- 32:46Speaker 1: to be somebody else and shut up? I think, you know,
- 32:48Speaker 1: damn those jobs. I think the first thing iss trying
- 32:51Speaker 1: to figure out where these ideas come from. So, from
- 32:54Speaker 1: a science perspective, healthy body right from manage between eighteen
- 32:58Speaker 1: and twenty two percent, right for a woman it's even higher.
- 33:01Speaker 1: So the doctors out there saying a woman should never
- 33:04Speaker 1: have a six pack, and for men, you know that
- 33:06Speaker 1: should not be a long term man, shouldn't have a
- 33:08Speaker 1: six pack, should not actually like that purpose. But however,
- 33:14Speaker 1: you know, so for example, like I've you know, I've
- 33:16Speaker 1: been hired to model in situations before. They didn't hire
- 33:18Speaker 1: me in a model because I'm beautiful, It's because I
- 33:20Speaker 1: was sample sized. I'm the size and the shoulder length,
- 33:23Speaker 1: you know, and depending on what I eat, the belly
- 33:25Speaker 1: goes down. But at the same time as the question
- 33:27Speaker 1: is who defines all of this, where do we get
- 33:29Speaker 1: these ideas from? Well, these ideas come from businesses that
- 33:32Speaker 1: want to sell your stuff for money. So it's realizing that, look,
- 33:35Speaker 1: we're being taught there. You watch a Disney movie that's
- 33:38Speaker 1: teaching you about love. You watch porn that's teaching you
- 33:40Speaker 1: about love. You watch a wrong calm that's teaching you
- 33:42Speaker 1: about love, You watch a reality here. All these things
- 33:44Speaker 1: are suddenly teaching us about love. And we have to
- 33:46Speaker 1: realize these ideas aren't artists. And I think that's the
- 33:48Speaker 1: big thing. A lot of times we think we own
- 33:50Speaker 1: our thoughts, but they're just put into us and then
- 33:52Speaker 1: they start sounding like us, our parents, we grew up,
- 33:55Speaker 1: our parents, who ever raised us. That's the first model
- 33:58Speaker 1: of love we have out of how functional, dysfunctional, and
- 34:02Speaker 1: then that becomes comfort. So this type of love we
- 34:04Speaker 1: saw growing up becomes our comfort food. And if it's dysfunctional,
- 34:07Speaker 1: then we lean into that. And what I'm because people
- 34:09Speaker 1: would be like, you wrote a book, you won't married
- 34:10Speaker 1: you and this you went that. I'm like, that's not
- 34:12Speaker 1: what this book is about. This book is not about
- 34:15Speaker 1: finding a partner. This book is about not worrying either way,
- 34:18Speaker 1: being happy with how your life is. And this book
- 34:21Speaker 1: is about loving yourself as you are. So the purpose
- 34:24Speaker 1: of that was because an activity you're having the book
- 34:26Speaker 1: is look at yourself in the mirror and not be
- 34:29Speaker 1: judgmental and be grateful. So I'm like, all right, I'm
- 34:31Speaker 1: gonna do that. That video has two million views. Too
- 34:33Speaker 1: many people see me in my underwear, and it's like
- 34:35Speaker 1: that scared the crap allowed me to do it. What
- 34:37Speaker 1: the print looked like? Though? Nothing? You know, you gotta
- 34:41Speaker 1: put the factor in everything. You know what I'm saying.
- 34:44Speaker 1: But you because you should look. You should look and say, okay,
- 34:48Speaker 1: what does your print look like? Because if you got
- 34:49Speaker 1: a big print, people you're looking like, damn, you don't
- 34:51Speaker 1: look like he packing all that too. If you look
- 34:52Speaker 1: like you're packing too, man, people to watch it, how
- 34:54Speaker 1: do we get here? So question? Do you believe in
- 34:56Speaker 1: love languages? You know this, It's been the big versation
- 35:00Speaker 1: in the last year, people talking about the love language.
- 35:02Speaker 1: What your love language? I think there's only one love
- 35:04Speaker 1: language that's to be seen and understood. And then you know,
- 35:07Speaker 1: they just took that and made it more detail to
- 35:09Speaker 1: be seen and understood. The physical touch through gifts through
- 35:13Speaker 1: I don't even know what the other ones are feel like,
- 35:14Speaker 1: they just made it specific. I look at it like horoscopes.
- 35:17Speaker 1: Everyone just wants to be a part of a certain
- 35:19Speaker 1: team and they want to be like unique to that.
- 35:21Speaker 1: But as I said love to me, we should focus
- 35:23Speaker 1: on love as the verb, like love is service. Start
- 35:26Speaker 1: focusing on what you require as much as giving it
- 35:28Speaker 1: out if you want to realize That's what I'm saying
- 35:30Speaker 1: that instead of finding love, it's more like realizing love.
- 35:32Speaker 1: You want to realize love. The easiest way to do
- 35:34Speaker 1: that is by loving people and love them because it's
- 35:37Speaker 1: a gift that you have, not because it's a loan
- 35:39Speaker 1: that you want paid back. We got more of one
- 35:41Speaker 1: of my favorite young minds on the planet, Humble the Poet,
- 35:44Speaker 1: on the Breakfast Club wanting everybody is DJ Envy. John Amaine,
- 35:48Speaker 1: the guy we are to Breakfast Club was still kicking
- 35:50Speaker 1: it with Humble the Poet. Now, they said that you
- 35:52Speaker 1: haven't spoke to your mother in a while because of
- 35:54Speaker 1: a comment she made about XPRS. Is that true? Well,
- 35:58Speaker 1: when I wrote it, so what happens happened? Because you
- 36:01Speaker 1: love your mom, but you can't speak to your mom. Yeah,
- 36:03Speaker 1: so it's it's it's again, it's understanding. So I was
- 36:06Speaker 1: in an extremely serious relationship and then it ended. It
- 36:08Speaker 1: ended over the pandemic and my mom, you know, it
- 36:11Speaker 1: was crazy over her. So what would happen is, uh,
- 36:14Speaker 1: I moved. I moved to la after the pandemic, so
- 36:17Speaker 1: I'd call I call him with my mom every day,
- 36:19Speaker 1: and every day she would just from my shield. You know,
- 36:20Speaker 1: it would have been a year now that you guys
- 36:22Speaker 1: would have been together. It would have been this. And
- 36:24Speaker 1: I was like, look, Mom, like you're you're making me
- 36:26Speaker 1: feel bad. I understand how you feel. You're doing this.
- 36:29Speaker 1: So the way, the way, that was the last chapter
- 36:32Speaker 1: of the book. So what it was. I finished this book,
- 36:33Speaker 1: let's say January twenty twenty two. Finished, you know, I
- 36:36Speaker 1: gotta go through it like a nine month process editing
- 36:39Speaker 1: the day before the book was due for print, which
- 36:41Speaker 1: was this September, I was like, okay, it's been nine months.
- 36:43Speaker 1: I gotta write something. So I wrote that last chapter.
- 36:46Speaker 1: So in that last chapter, in that September, I had
- 36:49Speaker 1: spent like a month avoiding talking to my mom. Had
- 36:52Speaker 1: a job men that I mean immigrant families. Man's pretending
- 36:56Speaker 1: didn't exist. It cut you off. Well, it's not even
- 36:59Speaker 1: a cut. You just like, look Mom, like you're not
- 37:01Speaker 1: I understand you're upset over this breakup and and it sucks,
- 37:05Speaker 1: and it breaks my heart that it's breaking your heart.
- 37:07Speaker 1: But I can't do nothing. And this has been a
- 37:08Speaker 1: constant theme of my I think a lot of immigrant
- 37:11Speaker 1: kids in general, a lot of kids in general. It's like,
- 37:13Speaker 1: your dreams can include other people's names. Your dreams and
- 37:17Speaker 1: your goals have to be your dreams and goals. Your
- 37:19Speaker 1: dreams can't be for my son to get married and
- 37:21Speaker 1: for me to have grandkids. That can't be your dream.
- 37:23Speaker 1: You're just putting pressure on somebody else to be something
- 37:25Speaker 1: that they're not where they are right now. We can't
- 37:28Speaker 1: fall in love with other people's potential. You can only
- 37:31Speaker 1: fall in love with your potential. So that's what the
- 37:34Speaker 1: challenge was. So there was just a time where it
- 37:36Speaker 1: just got so much where it's like, you know, I
- 37:38Speaker 1: could feel tension every time I saw her call, because
- 37:40Speaker 1: the questions are always the same, are you eating, what
- 37:43Speaker 1: did you learn how to cook? How's your puppy? And
- 37:45Speaker 1: then you know what, you would have been better had
- 37:48Speaker 1: you just stayed here, had you went and just got
- 37:51Speaker 1: it searching for love? Boy, it was through this journey,
- 37:54Speaker 1: as I said, like I was in a great relationship
- 37:57Speaker 1: with a great person, but I wasn't able to receive,
- 37:59Speaker 1: you know, because I did not have a healthy relationship
- 38:01Speaker 1: with myself. I had this, as I said, I had
- 38:03Speaker 1: all these walls up. I had this idea that I
- 38:05Speaker 1: need to be independent. I had all this idea that
- 38:08Speaker 1: you know, I'm on the grind. I had to do
- 38:09Speaker 1: all these different things now and then and then also
- 38:12Speaker 1: realizing ideas like codependency. So what ends up happening is
- 38:16Speaker 1: when you when you break up with somebody, what you're
- 38:19Speaker 1: really breaking up? What's the version of you in that relationship.
- 38:22Speaker 1: You're not breaking up with the person, you're breaking up
- 38:24Speaker 1: with who you are in that relationship, realizing that what's
- 38:27Speaker 1: required for you to keep that relationship up. There there
- 38:30Speaker 1: was a tension there because it's like, you know, family expectations,
- 38:33Speaker 1: all these different things. And that wasn't me living my
- 38:36Speaker 1: authentic life. And it wasn't for any other reason than
- 38:39Speaker 1: me not doing the work internally to be authentic about
- 38:42Speaker 1: that and be honest with me, like, wait a minute,
- 38:44Speaker 1: what is this? And a lot of that's trial and error,
- 38:47Speaker 1: you know. And I'm in therapy now, and one of
- 38:48Speaker 1: the big things my therapist says, is your goal is
- 38:51Speaker 1: to quickly realize somebody isn't good for you. That's your goal.
- 38:54Speaker 1: How quickly can you realize there's an incompatibility? And you know,
- 38:57Speaker 1: though you know, some days are more successful than than others.
- 39:00Speaker 1: And that goes back to another idea, which is love.
- 39:02Speaker 1: A big idea that people I think have misunderstood about love.
- 39:05Speaker 1: If they think it's glue. I love my partner enough
- 39:07Speaker 1: that's enough to keep us together. Love is not glue.
- 39:10Speaker 1: Love is fuel relationships. All relationships, romantic friendships, business, everything
- 39:14Speaker 1: require work. The love that you have is the fuel
- 39:18Speaker 1: to make you work at it. Your chance just be like,
- 39:20Speaker 1: I love you, so that's enough to keep us together.
- 39:22Speaker 1: The work that the unsexy work, the day to day
- 39:25Speaker 1: unsexy work, is was going to keep a relationship together. Man,
- 39:28Speaker 1: everything you're saying is so true. And you know when
- 39:30Speaker 1: you talk about sometimes we say, oh we've we've outgrown somebody, right,
- 39:35Speaker 1: And I'm not even talking about like inter relationships. I'm
- 39:37Speaker 1: talking about with friends. It's not even that you just
- 39:39Speaker 1: outgrew that person. You actually did break up with that person.
- 39:42Speaker 1: And the reason you broke up with them is because
- 39:44Speaker 1: you broke up you broke off the unhealthy versions of
- 39:47Speaker 1: yourself and y'all might have been trauma bonding. So sometimes
- 39:51Speaker 1: when we say we are grown people, because oh, that
- 39:52Speaker 1: person is still on the same thing that we used
- 39:54Speaker 1: to be on. That person hasn't dealt with their trauma
- 39:56Speaker 1: yet I've dealt with mine. We had a trauma bond.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Now that I broke those parts in me off, me
- 40:02Speaker 1: and that person ended up breaking up. Yeah, yeah, completely.
- 40:05Speaker 1: And that's a really good way of putting it where
- 40:07Speaker 1: it's realizing that, look, it's not about the other person,
- 40:09Speaker 1: it's about you. So instead of having expectations of other people,
- 40:13Speaker 1: just have standards for yourself and blade these are my standards.
- 40:16Speaker 1: The people who live up live up to it, I
- 40:18Speaker 1: will invest in them, and the people that don't, you know,
- 40:21Speaker 1: best of luck to you. I can still love you
- 40:23Speaker 1: from afar. And I think the important thing with that
- 40:25Speaker 1: is you're allowed to change and evolve your standards because
- 40:29Speaker 1: we don't know what we don't know, you know, so
- 40:31Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know when you you know,
- 40:33Speaker 1: I know you're big on investing, But the idea behind
- 40:36Speaker 1: that really is thinking long term. You're deferring gratification, You're
- 40:40Speaker 1: buying the thing that will let you buy the thing. Right.
- 40:43Speaker 1: That's a mindset, you know. That's that's the marshmallow test
- 40:46Speaker 1: that they give kids. You know, wait five minutes, here's
- 40:48Speaker 1: a marshmallow. If you don't eat it in five minutes,
- 40:51Speaker 1: then we'll give you too much meadows. It's teaching them
- 40:53Speaker 1: to defer gratification. Now, you got to be around people
- 40:56Speaker 1: who share that mindset, even if they're not investing, you know,
- 40:59Speaker 1: And so now that could be your standard of who
- 41:02Speaker 1: you're going to devote your time. And because your time
- 41:04Speaker 1: is one of the most valuable things you have. So
- 41:06Speaker 1: we have to continually instead of having expectations of anybody,
- 41:09Speaker 1: just to find our standards. But like these are my standards,
- 41:12Speaker 1: you live up to the standards, you know. I can
- 41:14Speaker 1: invest in you if you don't, no disrespect. I accept
- 41:17Speaker 1: you as you are, but I can't invest time, energy,
- 41:20Speaker 1: attention and work to create a pathway of love with you. Absolutely.
- 41:24Speaker 1: You know what else too, Man, I like it that
- 41:25Speaker 1: you keep talking about vulnerability because I think that sometimes
- 41:28Speaker 1: in relationships, I don't even know what we think. Vulnerability
- 41:32Speaker 1: is what I'd be thinking sometimes, Vulnerability, man, is letting
- 41:34Speaker 1: people see that dark side, like like letting people see
- 41:37Speaker 1: that that shadow side, you know what I mean, that
- 41:39Speaker 1: side that we try to keep to ourselves. I'm not talking,
- 41:42Speaker 1: I'm just talking about like like sometimes you might be
- 41:45Speaker 1: thinking some real epped up stuff. You know, can you
- 41:48Speaker 1: tell your significant other that? Or can you tell somebody
- 41:50Speaker 1: you love that or somebody that loves you and they
- 41:53Speaker 1: still love you. Yeah, So that's really good because I
- 41:55Speaker 1: think the other thing is we always think about zero
- 41:57Speaker 1: to one hundred. It's like either you're not vulnerable with somebody,
- 42:00Speaker 1: you're completely vulnerable, and there's a lot in between. So
- 42:03Speaker 1: what I learned in therapy is had two vulnerable stories
- 42:06Speaker 1: in your pocket that you could tell a stranger that
- 42:08Speaker 1: won't scare them away, and that's the way to establish
- 42:10Speaker 1: a bond. So one of mine, for example, is speaking
- 42:13Speaker 1: about dogs. I had a dog growing up. He lived
- 42:16Speaker 1: out his life for eleven years. Broke my heart to
- 42:18Speaker 1: put him to sleep. He was eleven years old. His
- 42:21Speaker 1: hips went, broke my heart to put him to sleep,
- 42:23Speaker 1: avoided getting another dog, became everybody's backseat dog owner, telling
- 42:29Speaker 1: them how to raise their dogs, and then eventually somebody said, hey,
- 42:32Speaker 1: there's this puppy available. Do you want it, and I'm like, no, no, no,
- 42:34Speaker 1: I'm over dogs. They got to move to America and
- 42:36Speaker 1: do with all this. Eventually Snap got the dog and
- 42:38Speaker 1: it may be super happy. This vulnerability in the story
- 42:41Speaker 1: not enough vulnerability is scare stranger away. And what happens
- 42:45Speaker 1: is when you're vulnerable with somebody. The reason we fear
- 42:48Speaker 1: being vulnerable is we fear judgment, we fear a shame.
- 42:50Speaker 1: But what I've realized is when I'm vulnerable with people,
- 42:53Speaker 1: it invites them to be vulnerable with me. That may
- 42:56Speaker 1: allow someone to tell me a story about a loss
- 42:58Speaker 1: that they had. The other one is losing my grandmother,
- 43:00Speaker 1: talking about you know, being a little kid and sleeping
- 43:03Speaker 1: in the bed with her, and and and and tracing
- 43:05Speaker 1: all the veins or the wrinkles in her hands, and
- 43:09Speaker 1: you know, just hearing your stories, not understanding what she
- 43:11Speaker 1: said because she didn't have any teeth, and just this
- 43:13Speaker 1: beautiful story and how much I miss her. Again, that
- 43:16Speaker 1: allows someone to connect with you on a deeper level.
- 43:18Speaker 1: You got to tell them all the shadow stuff where
- 43:20Speaker 1: you can work your way up, you know, And I
- 43:22Speaker 1: think that's a really important thing. Vulnerable and again, be
- 43:25Speaker 1: vulnerable with yourself being like, well, why did that thing
- 43:28Speaker 1: that you know, Charlotte, many say to me, why did
- 43:30Speaker 1: that bother me? And write it out, you know, and
- 43:32Speaker 1: and the easiest way to journal. Here's a step by
- 43:34Speaker 1: step with the journal. Step one, just write about the event.
- 43:38Speaker 1: Step two, write about your feelings about how that situation
- 43:42Speaker 1: made you feel. Just write them all out, however made
- 43:43Speaker 1: you feel, made you feel upset, jealous, angry, happy, excited, whatever.
- 43:47Speaker 1: You realize the majority of emotions we have are on
- 43:49Speaker 1: the negative side, because that's how we learn to survive.
- 43:51Speaker 1: Step three, look at those feelings that you wrote out
- 43:54Speaker 1: and write your thoughts about it and be like, okay,
- 43:56Speaker 1: I understand. Okay, the reason I felt insecure about that
- 44:00Speaker 1: because the way he said it sounded like that kid
- 44:02Speaker 1: in the seventh grade, but the way you know. And
- 44:04Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you start building this thing
- 44:06Speaker 1: called self awareness. You're picking up on your patterns, and
- 44:08Speaker 1: now you realize you don't own your emotion. I am
- 44:10Speaker 1: not happy, I'm feeling happiness. I'm not anxious, I'm feeling anxious.
- 44:14Speaker 1: You separate yourself from it because every single emotion everybody
- 44:17Speaker 1: has ever felt was impermanent. They all go away good
- 44:22Speaker 1: ones and a bad one. So this journaling will allow
- 44:24Speaker 1: you to be vulnerable with yourself and be honest with yourself,
- 44:26Speaker 1: and you'll build a deeper connection with yourself, and then
- 44:29Speaker 1: you'll be able to better articulate to other people. You
- 44:32Speaker 1: know how they can be around you and you're just
- 44:35Speaker 1: setting boundaries, and your boundaries are about you, not about them.
- 44:38Speaker 1: We got more with Humble a Poet when we come back,
- 44:40Speaker 1: don't move. It's the Breakfast Club the morning, don't want
- 44:42Speaker 1: to get everybody is DJ guy. We are to Breakfast Club.
- 44:46Speaker 1: Was still kicking it with Humble a Poet. You know,
- 44:48Speaker 1: the last chapter in the book is called the last
- 44:49Speaker 1: book I'll ever right now, you've written four super successful books.
- 44:54Speaker 1: You don't really mean that, right. So the way I
- 44:56Speaker 1: try to write so again, First I think to myself,
- 44:59Speaker 1: like what more important than love? What else? Is it? All? Right?
- 45:02Speaker 1: And as I said, I wrote that last chapter the
- 45:05Speaker 1: day the book was to hit print, so they didn't
- 45:07Speaker 1: even get edited. And you know that that didn't go
- 45:09Speaker 1: to the editing process, and it was like what else
- 45:11Speaker 1: is left for me to say? And I was looking
- 45:13Speaker 1: at it, squeezing out, you know, my sponge to hit
- 45:16Speaker 1: it and I try to write books with that idea,
- 45:18Speaker 1: so you know, going into that and then also with
- 45:21Speaker 1: just other opportunities coming my way. It's something that I've
- 45:23Speaker 1: been exploring. I think recently helping out a couple of
- 45:26Speaker 1: friends in the world of anxiety has made me thinking
- 45:28Speaker 1: about anxiety a lot. And the idea of moving in
- 45:31Speaker 1: New York. I was like, oh, there's a beautiful book there.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Moved to New York and write about anxiety like that fits.
- 45:36Speaker 1: So there's a lot of ideas there and then maybe
- 45:38Speaker 1: in the form of an audiobook or something like that,
- 45:40Speaker 1: just watching how the industry changes and stuff. But I
- 45:42Speaker 1: wrote this book with the idea this is gonna be
- 45:44Speaker 1: a last book, and I also talked about it being
- 45:47Speaker 1: the most expensive book because it's just you know, writing
- 45:49Speaker 1: this book, man, I had to let go of layers
- 45:51Speaker 1: of myself and it's cool to be vulnerable, but it
- 45:54Speaker 1: also it does make you vulnerable, you know. And I'm
- 45:59Speaker 1: way more emotional than I used to be because I
- 46:01Speaker 1: I shed a lot of walls and then that was
- 46:03Speaker 1: cool for writing and creating art, but that ain't cool
- 46:05Speaker 1: when you're out reaching out to people, trying to do stuff,
- 46:07Speaker 1: trying to get you know, get on people's shows, do
- 46:10Speaker 1: whatever hearing knows all of that that made me super
- 46:13Speaker 1: mindful of it. I'm getting to do it. And as
- 46:15Speaker 1: I said, I'm thinking a lot about anxiety and I'll
- 46:17Speaker 1: do some research for the next couple of months on that,
- 46:19Speaker 1: and this is something good that I want to write
- 46:20Speaker 1: about it. I'm heavily inspired by Kendrick, and I feel
- 46:23Speaker 1: like he speaks when there's something we're saying. I mean,
- 46:27Speaker 1: there's a lot of great books on anxiety. There's one
- 46:29Speaker 1: called Shook One Anxiety one. Guys, guy, it looks like
- 46:34Speaker 1: Marris Chestnut. What is a good one? Chesnut? That guy
- 46:39Speaker 1: does not look nothing like Marris Chestnu. What you said
- 46:41Speaker 1: about Kendrick is interesting too, because Kendrick explored a lot
- 46:45Speaker 1: of conversations about love that men don't have. And I
- 46:50Speaker 1: think one of those relationships is definitely the relationship between
- 46:53Speaker 1: a father and a son, because that is the first
- 46:56Speaker 1: man that you love and the first man that as
- 47:00Speaker 1: supposed to love you. But if you grew up in
- 47:03Speaker 1: a certain era, like bebe forty four years old, my
- 47:05Speaker 1: dad grew up in the time in the nineteen hundreds
- 47:08Speaker 1: when they definitely didn't know how to love theirselves. They
- 47:11Speaker 1: definitely didn't have the tools in any way, shape or
- 47:14Speaker 1: form today and still that in us. And then we're
- 47:16Speaker 1: kind of like the first generation that has the luxury
- 47:18Speaker 1: of healing. And so now we're looking at them like, oh, goddamn,
- 47:23Speaker 1: why do you still like it? Mean so, but you
- 47:25Speaker 1: still I don't know if you want to call it toxic.
- 47:27Speaker 1: It's toxic into word, but it's it's like a dysfunctional
- 47:30Speaker 1: thing because I love you, yeah, but you kind of
- 47:33Speaker 1: asked me up. And then that goes back to this
- 47:34Speaker 1: idea of going easy on yourself. When you go easy
- 47:36Speaker 1: on yourself and go easy on other people, and it's
- 47:37Speaker 1: like you knew what you knew, Like they came from
- 47:40Speaker 1: a world like that, you know, and it's you know,
- 47:44Speaker 1: maybe in forty years, you know, when your children are adults,
- 47:47Speaker 1: they're gonna be dramatically more evolved as an individual than
- 47:50Speaker 1: you are. They're gonna look at you that's prehistoric with
- 47:52Speaker 1: your mindsets and whatever, and we don't even know what
- 47:54Speaker 1: those things are. You know, Like back then, people who
- 47:57Speaker 1: have lead pain, you know, I think it was in
- 47:59Speaker 1: the seventies. People before the seventies, people were driving without
- 48:01Speaker 1: seat belts, there are things that we think are common sense,
- 48:03Speaker 1: and you realize that there was a time that people
- 48:05Speaker 1: didn't even think about bags. We don't know what twenty
- 48:10Speaker 1: twenty three's ignorance is, Like, oh my, we were carrying
- 48:12Speaker 1: these devices in our pockets the whole time, and now
- 48:14Speaker 1: we all wonder like why we got certain diseases or
- 48:17Speaker 1: what have you, or we were eating all this food,
- 48:18Speaker 1: and so they're gonna look at us the same win.
- 48:21Speaker 1: It's just you're gonna be like, look, I knew what
- 48:22Speaker 1: I knew. And I always think about that with my
- 48:24Speaker 1: parents because I definitely grew up in a world it
- 48:26Speaker 1: was like my family to this day is the subtle
- 48:29Speaker 1: signal they always had my back, but I only went
- 48:32Speaker 1: to them in emergencies. You know. I knew if she
- 48:36Speaker 1: hit the fan, I can go to my family and
- 48:37Speaker 1: they will have my back. But what if I was
- 48:39Speaker 1: like fifteen and I had a crush and needed advice
- 48:42Speaker 1: for my sister, I wouldn't go to her, you know,
- 48:44Speaker 1: And then you start thinking that you're a burden to
- 48:46Speaker 1: other people. I don't want to bother them. And it
- 48:48Speaker 1: took somebody advice, but I mean just the vulnerability of it.
- 48:53Speaker 1: You value through the vulnerability. I think, yeah, you should
- 48:55Speaker 1: not just go to one person for advice ever, you
- 48:57Speaker 1: should always triangulate your advice and get as many people
- 49:00Speaker 1: who know what they're talking about. But the idea of
- 49:02Speaker 1: even asking somebody, Yeah, So, what I realized in my
- 49:05Speaker 1: house was like we only went to each other for emergencies,
- 49:08Speaker 1: the little things we did, and we became overly self regulated.
- 49:10Speaker 1: I don't need nobody. I don't need nobody. And this
- 49:13Speaker 1: is a conversation of having somebody yesterday, Like there's no
- 49:16Speaker 1: such things self made. We all need each other. We're
- 49:19Speaker 1: all interdependent. You know, even if you did the grind
- 49:22Speaker 1: and it felt like you did it by yourself, you
- 49:24Speaker 1: still lived in a part of the world that maybe
- 49:26Speaker 1: wasn't at war, so you were able to do it.
- 49:28Speaker 1: Somebody paved the roads for you to get around. Somebody
- 49:30Speaker 1: kept the subway going for you to move around. We
- 49:32Speaker 1: need each other. That's why folks are so anxious now
- 49:35Speaker 1: because I can't rely on anybody to keep me secure.
- 49:38Speaker 1: Like when you walk in a room and it's mad people.
- 49:41Speaker 1: I know red, I know envy, I know nick, I
- 49:43Speaker 1: know humble, but I still got to make sure all
- 49:45Speaker 1: of y'all are good because all it takes is one
- 49:48Speaker 1: person to go I'm using the word crazy, to go crazy,
- 49:51Speaker 1: one person to flip and ruin everybody's day. You don't
- 49:55Speaker 1: know where that could come from, nowaday, you know, And
- 49:57Speaker 1: that's a beautiful way to look at it. It's surface here.
- 50:00Speaker 1: Love is serving people. Love is a verb, and that's
- 50:02Speaker 1: why the book is called How to Be Loved, but
- 50:04Speaker 1: the dea is in parentheses because it's really about how
- 50:06Speaker 1: to be loved, how to realize you're a source of love.
- 50:09Speaker 1: And if you want to realize love is looking inwards.
- 50:11Speaker 1: You can't solve internal issues with external solutions. It's never
- 50:17Speaker 1: it's never gonna work. So instead it's like cultivate a
- 50:20Speaker 1: healthier relationship with yourself, which means learning how to be
- 50:23Speaker 1: by yourself. And spending time by yourself isn't being in
- 50:26Speaker 1: your room on your phone, it's literally being by yourself.
- 50:28Speaker 1: And then you'll start to realize the difference between loneliness
- 50:31Speaker 1: and solitude. Solitude is the reward for being by yourself.
- 50:34Speaker 1: Loneliness is the punishment, and the difference is just getting
- 50:36Speaker 1: to know yourself, spending time with yourself understanding, Okay, this
- 50:40Speaker 1: is I'm full of anxiety. Why, oh well, I'm so
- 50:43Speaker 1: used to having a device or something giving me some
- 50:45Speaker 1: dopamine and a reward. Okay, I'm going through withdrawal. That's cool,
- 50:48Speaker 1: I gotta do it. Most of the mental health issues
- 50:51Speaker 1: we have aren't coming from unpleasant emotions. They're coming from
- 50:54Speaker 1: suppressing unpleasant emotions. I feel anxiety, Let me, let me,
- 50:57Speaker 1: let me take a shot. I feel anxiety. Let me
- 50:59Speaker 1: let me smoke some I feel anxiety. Let me distract
- 51:01Speaker 1: myself all of that. The anxiety is your friend. It's
- 51:05Speaker 1: a message telling you something. Pain is always a message,
- 51:07Speaker 1: whether the pain is take your hand off that hot stove,
- 51:09Speaker 1: whether that pain is hey, you heard you know. A
- 51:12Speaker 1: good example I heard recently is names. Somebody can mention
- 51:15Speaker 1: the name today, and if it's one of our exes,
- 51:17Speaker 1: it's going to trigger us in a different way. We
- 51:19Speaker 1: feel it. Pay attention to that. Why did that do something? Oh?
- 51:22Speaker 1: Because it reminded me of so and so. Okay, let
- 51:24Speaker 1: me let me go journal about that. You know what
- 51:27Speaker 1: psychologies do is they make you take your most traumatic
- 51:29Speaker 1: experiences and speak about them over and over and over
- 51:32Speaker 1: and over again until the weight reduces. I'm not going
- 51:35Speaker 1: to say it completely goes away, but you're disinfecting it
- 51:38Speaker 1: by letting it out. Yeah, you know what you said
- 51:40Speaker 1: is so real man, And I told you this the
- 51:42Speaker 1: other day. My therapist said that anxiety and faith can't coexist.
- 51:45Speaker 1: So whenever you start feeling anxious about something, that anxiety
- 51:48Speaker 1: starts kicking in. Tell yourself your own hero story. Literally,
- 51:52Speaker 1: like tell yourself your hero story, like gash yourself up,
- 51:54Speaker 1: but you're gassing yourself up with the truth. Like tell
- 51:56Speaker 1: yourself about the things that you succeeded. You know, I mean,
- 52:00Speaker 1: tell yourself how you succeeded about, tell yourself where you've
- 52:03Speaker 1: come from, you know, talk about to tell yourself the
- 52:05Speaker 1: good that you do for other people, you know what
- 52:08Speaker 1: I mean? Like, you'll tell yourself your own hero story.
- 52:10Speaker 1: And it works. It definitely works. And again and the idea,
- 52:14Speaker 1: you know, the subtitle of the book is going easier
- 52:16Speaker 1: on yourself. The reason we have anxieties because we're thinking
- 52:19Speaker 1: about the future. Regrets are about yesterday, anxiety is about tomorrow.
- 52:23Speaker 1: And the reason we have to actively tell our hero
- 52:25Speaker 1: story is because our brains are designed to ignore everything
- 52:29Speaker 1: that works and focus on what's out of place. That's
- 52:31Speaker 1: why we're always noticing what's out of place in our life.
- 52:33Speaker 1: Everything could be lined up, you know, and then we're like,
- 52:36Speaker 1: well that one thing. That's how our brains are designed.
- 52:39Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with us that kept us alive in
- 52:41Speaker 1: nature forever, and that software isn't going to be That
- 52:44Speaker 1: software is built into us. Recognize it and and do
- 52:48Speaker 1: activities like this. So I have to actively express gratitude
- 52:51Speaker 1: to telling my story and even the idea of gratude.
- 52:54Speaker 1: I love this from j If not say what you're
- 52:56Speaker 1: grateful for, it's close your eyes, remember a time you
- 52:59Speaker 1: felt gratitude and relive its book on love You'll ever

- 54:15Speaker 1: man the breakfast club bitches, just don't give today today.
- 54:21Speaker 1: Wow donkey to Dave goes to an Arizona priest named
- 54:23Speaker 1: Andrea Arrango. Okay, here's a priest, a Catholic priest, who
- 54:27Speaker 1: quite possibly has bought a whole bunch of you a
- 54:30Speaker 1: first class ticket to Hell. There's thousands of y'all walking
- 54:34Speaker 1: around right now with illegitimate baptisms. What is Uncle Charlotte
- 54:39Speaker 1: talking about this morning. What is the good Brotherlannards saying
- 54:42Speaker 1: in regards the illegitimate baptisms, exactly what I say, all right,
- 54:46Speaker 1: some of your baptisms are nulling, boy, fraudulent, unauthorized, unsanctioned, unofficial, unlicensed,
- 54:53Speaker 1: un whatever. Okay, okay, whatever you had happened under the
- 54:56Speaker 1: water don't count because Priest Andre's arrange didn't say it right.
- 55:01Speaker 1: He didn't say to baptism right. It's like a spell.
- 55:04Speaker 1: You know how your iPhone has ten Harry Potter spells
- 55:07Speaker 1: that work, would Siri, But they don't work if you
- 55:09Speaker 1: don't pronounce it right. That's kind of what happened which
- 55:11Speaker 1: your baptism. One word, one word kept you from being
- 55:14Speaker 1: cleansed of all your things. I can't make this kind
- 55:18Speaker 1: of foolsness up. Let's go to Fox ten Phoenix for
- 55:19Speaker 1: the report. Police. One word has made a divine difference
- 55:23Speaker 1: when it comes to the first sacrament in the Catholic faith. Baptisms.
- 55:27Speaker 1: Phoenix priest Father Andres Arango resigned and apologized after he
- 55:31Speaker 1: had changed a pivotal word in the baptismal right. The
- 55:34Speaker 1: priest had been saying, we baptize you in the name
- 55:37Speaker 1: of the Father and of the Son and of the
- 55:39Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. The correct version starts with I baptize you.
- 55:43Speaker 1: Orango had been part of the Catholic Diocese in Phoenix
- 55:46Speaker 1: since two thousand and five. He posted an apology letter
- 55:49Speaker 1: through the diocese saying, in part he would dedicate his
- 55:52Speaker 1: energy to remedy the situation. Other sacraments taken after, like confirmation,
- 55:57Speaker 1: marriage and Holy Orders could also will be invalid if
- 56:00Speaker 1: the baptism itself is invalidated. I can't keep up at
- 56:05Speaker 1: this level of perfection y'all got going on in two
- 56:07Speaker 1: twenty two. This kind of perfection you have to have. Now,
- 56:10Speaker 1: I can't deal with it. You know, if just the
- 56:12Speaker 1: kind of perfection you have to have, I'm screwed. Okay,
- 56:14Speaker 1: I'm confused by this. Instead of saying I baptize you
- 56:18Speaker 1: in the name of the Father and of the Son
- 56:20Speaker 1: and of the Holy Spirit. During baptism, Priest Andre said we.
- 56:26Speaker 1: And the issue with using we is that it is
- 56:29Speaker 1: not the community that baptizes a person. Rather it is
- 56:32Speaker 1: Christ and him alone who presides at all of the baptisms.
- 56:38Speaker 1: And so it is Christ Jesus who baptizes God. You know,
- 56:44Speaker 1: my heart and I try to only say what it
- 56:46Speaker 1: is that you want me to say. And in this moment,
- 56:48Speaker 1: the spirit is telling me to scream. Cap cap cap
- 56:51Speaker 1: trap cap cap. Where is Bresident Joe Biden when I
- 56:54Speaker 1: need him? Huh, let me hear it. Oh, we'll pull
- 56:57Speaker 1: it up when you can't. Okay, there's a cap. That's
- 57:00Speaker 1: say it again. President, there's a cap that's right. Priests, arrango,
- 57:04Speaker 1: it is I, it is I. When you're getting baptized,
- 57:09Speaker 1: as in you, you are baptizing people in the name
- 57:12Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit. Even if you say we to
- 57:15Speaker 1: me means you, God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit. That's the collective.
- 57:20Speaker 1: That's we. That's a group, that's to me goes, that's
- 57:24Speaker 1: Destiny's child, that's woutan clan, It's a collective. Okay. The
- 57:27Speaker 1: lie the cap is that it is Christ and him
- 57:31Speaker 1: alone who presides at all of the sacraments, and it
- 57:34Speaker 1: is Christ Jesus who baptizes. Jesus might be there in spirit,
- 57:39Speaker 1: but Jesus didn't dunk you under that water. Jesus not
- 57:42Speaker 1: physically there with you, but that priest Andreas standing there. Okay,
- 57:46Speaker 1: he's there, and him dunking you in the name of God,
- 57:49Speaker 1: Jesus and the Holy Spirit. That sounds about right to me.
- 57:52Speaker 1: So why is Priest Arrango getting dunkey here today? I'll
- 57:55Speaker 1: tell you why for stepping down, for resigning, for causing
- 57:58Speaker 1: all of this fuss for no damn reason. Do you
- 58:01Speaker 1: really think God, okay, g O D the Almighty who
- 58:05Speaker 1: forgives us for all our sins if we repent, is
- 58:08Speaker 1: tripping because you said we and not I? Seriously? Does
- 58:11Speaker 1: intention not matter? Baptism represents the forgiveness in cleansing from
- 58:15Speaker 1: sin that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. Okay. Baptism
- 58:20Speaker 1: publicly acknowledges one's confession of faith and belief in the
- 58:23Speaker 1: Gospel message. It also symbolizes the sinner's entrance into the
- 58:26Speaker 1: community of believers. You think all of that changed because
- 58:29Speaker 1: the priest said we and not I. Huh? When if
- 58:34Speaker 1: you ask me, I is the right thing to say?
- 58:36Speaker 1: Because like I said, I, as in you, Priest Andreas,
- 58:39Speaker 1: are the person doing the baptism and doing it in
- 58:42Speaker 1: the name of God, Jesus and the Holy goalst. That
- 58:44Speaker 1: sounds like the right thing to do to me. It's
- 58:46Speaker 1: like when you accept an award at an award show
- 58:48Speaker 1: for someone who is not there. You say, I accept
- 58:52Speaker 1: this award on their behalf. You could even say, we
- 58:55Speaker 1: accept this award on their behalf. You could even say,
- 58:57Speaker 1: I accept this award in the name of God, in
- 59:00Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost. All that is all good to me.
- 59:02Speaker 1: It's fine. The award will get to who it belongs to,
- 59:05Speaker 1: just like the meaning of being baptized will get to
- 59:08Speaker 1: the person being baptized, regardless of if a priest miss
- 59:12Speaker 1: is a word. We're in a teachable moments people, instead
- 59:16Speaker 1: of stepping down, Can this priest not talk about how
- 59:18Speaker 1: he just made a mistake? Is this even considered a mistake?
- 59:21Speaker 1: Is this something that even has to be acknowledged? Would
- 59:23Speaker 1: anyone even notice if he didn't say anything? Like? What
- 59:27Speaker 1: are we doing? Man? We are holding people to a
- 59:30Speaker 1: standard of perfection that Jesus couldn't even reach. And this
- 59:33Speaker 1: is why Jesus not coming back. It's why Jesus sends
- 59:36Speaker 1: all your prayers to his fan folder. Why would he
- 59:39Speaker 1: come back? Jesus is like, no, no, no, y'all holding
- 59:41Speaker 1: people to a standard of perfection that I'm not even
- 59:44Speaker 1: familiar with. Okay, Jesus even thinks y'all taking this perfection
- 59:47Speaker 1: of Christ thing way too far, and that is why
- 59:51Speaker 1: God put it on my spirit to give priests Andreas
- 59:54Speaker 1: Zarrango a holy he hat. This is ridiculous. I'm missing
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: a word. You know how many words I miss, how
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: many words I mispronounced? But God knows my heart. You
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: know my intention. You know what I'm trying to say.
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: That's why even if I say something and I miss
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: a word or mispronounced it, you still feel it. You
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: still know what I was trying to say. You can
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: still respond because it's about intention. I don't know, I
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: ain't know. God. Just don't call you a jerk. You
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: know I'm call me God love me, he or she
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: loved me? Okay, touch me when I tell you I
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: am blessed, Black and Dolly favors. You see me, Look
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: at me. That's a globe. Do you see me? That's
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: a globe. Okay, but act like you know right? All right? Well,
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: thank you for that dunk in to day? Yes, indeed,
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: a right, don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning,
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: the breakfast club. Yeah, I gotta pack the kids lunch
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: and snacks. And I've been packing donuts and uh popems,
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: you know, fruit snacks and you know, ham and cheese
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: or salami and cheese sandwiches. And that's just because you're
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: a lazy ass dad who don't know how to cook.
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: That's all it is. If you knew how to cook,
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: you'd be feeding your kids. Uh you know better, better
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: meals than that. And you want to run. You want
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: to run just as much as your kids too. But
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: people were like, envy, where's the whe's the fruit with
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: the carriage with the vegetable? So I agree with them.
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: This morning, you know, I went there and I got
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: some strawberries, I got some grapes, I got some of
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: their favorite fruit, and I put it in their bags
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: as well. But on the way in, I was reading
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: this thing about fat kids, and I guess I can't
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: use fat man. Why do you who says you can't
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: use fat? All right? Well, children struggling with being fat
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: and obesity should be evaluated and treat worse than fat.
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: Obesity sounds crazy. I'd rather be fat than obese. They're
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: saying the weight sounds dangerous. Soon as they tell you
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: the playing over with, you don't want to get on it, right,
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: You're right, okay, you right. So they're saying the practice
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: of watchful waiting. That's where you just you know, wait
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: and saying, hey, my kid is gonna outgrow it. That's it.
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: That doesn't usually happen. They said, if your kid is
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: as fat as a kid, they're gonna be fat as
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: a team. So they're saying, fourteen point four million young
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: people in the US are pretty big, and they said
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: it leads to long health problems, high blood pressure, diabetes,
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: and depression. Well, we're not talking about poverty, you know.
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: Let me see the demographics of those kids. Let me
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: see the locations where those kids live at. And I
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: bet you, I bet you that they live in food deserts.
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: And you know, there's plenty of studies that show, you know,
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: people who live in food deserts are at an elevated
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: risk for obesity. You know what I mean. If you
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: got inadequate access to food, then you're more than likely
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: gonna eat cheap, high calorie stuff. You're gonna eat snacks,
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: you're gonna eat all the fast foods. You're gonna eat
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: from the Chinese restaurant in the hood. You're gonna do
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: that constantly, you know what I mean, And that will
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: lead to obesity when you're young. I think that the
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: reason a lot of those kids probably do grow out
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: of it, you know, because hopefully as they get older,
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: they're getting better financial situations and they pick up more
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: healthier habits. Some people majority don't end up in better
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: financial situations, so they keep those same piss poor habits
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: with them throughout their whole life, you know what I mean,
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: and then they spend their whole life trying to survive
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: off snats. But I do agree, I do agree that
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: we have to attack this problem at a younger age
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: because you teach habits right and one of those things.
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: If you're teaching kids about eating right and exercising and
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: working out, they're going to continue to do that when
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: they get older, when their teens, and I think we
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: have to create these habits and not just say you
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: know what, we'll see what happens. Or you know, a
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: lot of times parents, even myself, we give our kids
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: foods that are not bad because, like you said, where
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: we're running, we're doing this, we're doing that, but we
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: have to make sure we watch what our kids eat
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: as well. You're not wrong in me, but you're speaking
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: from a place of of having something, you know what
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: I mean. You can't do any of that you just
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: said with no money. Like these folks are literally just
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: out here trying to survive. It's not even a thing
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: of them practicing bad habits because they want to. They're
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: doing they're eating like this because they have to survive.
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: Their literal foods. Had to access to good food, right,
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: but you know, or to go to whole foods and
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: buy the fresh fruits and vegetables and all that kind
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: of credit. As a kid, I didn't, you know, we
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: didn't have whole food and things like that, but my
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: mom made sure I didn't have McDonald's. Every day she cooked,
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: whether it was we had some wild stuff. As a kid,
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: cook a lot. Well, we did have writing beans, but
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: we had you know, of course you did. You know
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: what forget it, get it princess right being hello, Hey, yeah,
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: y'a family matters, Good morning. I wasn't thinking of family
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: matter you talking about it anyway? The TV theme songs
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: we play, yes, good morning, yeah, good morning to you all.
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: So listen, guys, it's super multifacted it right. I think
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: the best politically correct word will be overweight, just because
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: people take side and run with it any other kind
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: of way. So just stay overweight kids. That a man,
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: because you can flip overweight to your overweight as Oh man,
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: we've anna let every stay overweight kids. That just sounds different.
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: You've got too many simple minded people that's gonna go
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: hard on him. You're right man to say overweight, right,
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: you're right. So listen in regards to what you was saying,
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: we are depreciated, right. Um. In regards to community, we
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: know that it's easier for some communities that have five
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: dollars and get that little season pizza and know that
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: we'll have to not worry about tonight and we'll figure
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: it out tomorrow. Right. And then we have the other
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: families who are letting their kids in and out the pantry.
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: We buy in everything ding dongs wing want gets ahoy
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: everything right, and we're really not caring because we don't
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: want to hit them talk or whatever. The reason is.
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: Maybe we didn't have healthy eating habits growing up. So
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: when it comes to the surgery portion, now there is
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: lap in, there is gastric keep, and then there's gastric
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: five pass. Now that has to go with your PCP
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: having history, bnobes having It's just a lot of different
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: factors that go into that that are tied at a
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: young age. We'll be able to have that, right. Can
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: I ask you something real quick, though, If you can't
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: even afford healthy food, how are you going to afford surgery?
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: Medicare Medicare Medicare, we'll pay, We'll pay for that, right,
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: No Medicaid part of me. Medicare is for older so
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: Medicaid bill pay for that. Giving your doctor as saying
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: this person needs that, this is medically necessary, they will
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: be able to get in one hundred percent paid for.
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: If you're a worker and you have insurance, you're insurance
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: will pay for it. You pay your deductible out of pocket.
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: If you out here and you got money, you can
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: pay for whatever you want. You can get your kids
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: to get whatever they want at whatever age, when you
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: got whatever type of farms. Are we clear? Yes, But
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: that's the problem most of us don't. Like we're talking
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: like the majority of people out here aren't financially struggling, struggling,
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: and that surgery to me sounds like a temporary solution
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: to a permanent problem. With those pills. You have to
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: go give these communities the resources they need to not
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: just survive, but to thrive. You're getting surgery for a
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: kid at six and then they still can't afford proper food.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: And we just talk about earlier. When you get these surgeries,
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: you gotta work out and it right. How can you
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: do that if you in a impoverished neighborhood. But we'll
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: take your call some more eight hundred five five five one.
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: But I agree with you. I think those the medication
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: and those surgeries are temporary fixes because you don't want
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: your child on, you know, on pills for the rest
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: of their life. To just stay a little bit, you know.
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: Then let's talk about it when we come back. It's
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good morning, e n G. Charlemagne, the
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: guy we are the Breakfast Club, naptew just joining us.
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: We were talking about a new study that came out
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: and they were saying children struggling struggling with obesity should
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: be evaluated and treated early and aggressively, including medications for
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: kid as young at twelve and surgery for those that
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: are thirteen. They're saying the old practice of watching, watchful
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: waiting or delaying treatment to see if the kids outgrow
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: it is stupid and don't do it. They're saying fourteen
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: point four million young people in the US are left untreated,
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: and obesity can cause health problems high blood pressure, diabetes, depression,
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: and security. I hate how that study is not talking
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: about poverty. I hate how that study is not talking
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: about you know, food deserts, you know. I hate how
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: that study is not talking about individuals who love living
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: food deserts are had an elevated risk for obesity. I
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: hate that that study isn't talking about how inadequate access
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: to food, you know, is gonna lead, you know, to
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: obesity because folks gonna eat cheap, high calorie stuff. You
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: know how fast food restaurant's got better deals in the
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: healthy places. You can peach six people with five dollars
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: that most of these damned fast food places. But you know,
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: an apple, apple casts six dollars one apple. Yeah, now
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: you're right. I want to I want to shout out
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: to uh. I believe it's called Fittitian. It's a restaurant
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: that's in the New York area. They branching and I
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: went there the other day and I bought a fruit bowl,
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: a big size fruit bowl, and it was it was
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: five dollars, and I was surprised. I'm like it's really
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: five dollars and they had you know, I had a
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: granola had all the food in it. So let me
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: let me it's fittian, fittitian shout out to them. All right,
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: let me let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: this hey going around the store to how you guys
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: doing this morning? I'm doing well? How are you guys?
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: Blessed Black and Holly Favor? What's your what's your opinion?
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: What's your thoughts? Mama? So my thought is, especially from
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: a medical perspective. I'm a medical professional of working cardiology. UM,
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: I definitely think we should allow these kids to have
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: access to weight loss medication. One thing you mentioned was
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: something about lifeul suction. That's not the that's not what
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: they said. That says the kids can have weight loss
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: surgery such as bypass, gaster bypass or sleeve something like
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: that to help them lose the way. But we do
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: know that we see down the line of these kids
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: end up with heart disease and other problems. And you'll
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: be surprised, or maybe you won't be surprised, but I
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: used to do football physicals. You'll be surprised when they
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: those guys come in young kids only thirteen years old,
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: what high blood pressure already you know, and want to
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: play football. And so then we talk about things happening
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: like you know, collapsing on the field, right um and
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: stuff like that. So um, definitely I think we should,
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: you know, give these kids a shot at, you know,
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: having a healthier weight and living a healthier life. And
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: I agree with you, M. Charlemagne on the you know,
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: making access to healthier food. And you know, right now,
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: the food prices are incredible, you know, ropery store prices
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: are crazy, and that is definitely your problem. But also
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: it is that our kids just don't exercise and you know,
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: do the things that they used to do. We used
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: to play outside, you know, down the kids are in
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: front of the TV all day or playing video games
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: all day, right, that is true, I think, I think,
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: I think it's a combination of the lack of physical activity,
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: but more importantly, man, the poverty, the food desert these
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: folks live in. Man Like, when you live in these
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: food deserts, you don't have access to good, high chuality food.
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: You're gonna eat cheap, high calorie stuff. But even as parents,
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: even if if that is the case, we have to
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: get our kids out more. And I know a lot
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: of times it's easy to you know, to have our
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: you know, I phones and iPads and video games and
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: TV babysit our kids. But we have to get back
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: out there with those kids. Make them go play basketball,
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: make them go jump rope and make them dance, make
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: them go to chair. There's so many free events and
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: free activities that these kids could do that keep them exercising.
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: This week. Like I said, my wife is away and
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: my kids have so many damn activities, and I would
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: be mad at my wife, like couldn't this gracious? But
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: now I get it. I understand it. They're out and
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: about the exercise and they're running around and they're doing
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: a lot. Well, I'll tell you this, and I agree
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: with you, and I'm not making excuses, but man, do
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: you feel safe just letting your kids go out? You
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: feel safe just letting your kids go run around? I
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: think about growing up to South Carolina. Man, We used
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: to be out all day, no cell phones, on the bikes,
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: from dirt road to dirt road, running through cornfields, running
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: through the woods. Parents knew what we were at our
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: guess they knew we were around, but nowadays, I would
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: never feel comfortable. Yeah right, just letting my kids just
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: go wrong for a few hours by theirselfs Hell no, yeah,
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: I guess right. Hello, who's this Leo? Leo? Good morning thoughts, brom.
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: I basically think that it all starts with the parents.
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: We need to encourage more healthy or eating habits, you know,
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: so that our kids follow through my parents. My family
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: has a history of work, very overweight, and I've done
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: a lot of things to get a healthy weed. And
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: I'm trying to encourage my daughter now he's about four,
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: to start eating you know, pretty good. And like that, man,
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: all they're almost been doing great in life. Because even
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: if it starts with the parents, which is true, the
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: parents poor too, like like like poverty. Poverty is just
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: as generational. It's poor eating habits because if the parents
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: couldn't afford to eat, well, you think they can afford
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: to feed their kids, well, come on, man, Like I
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: don't know, man, I just feel like poverty is the
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: root of the issue, man, because you know, a lot
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: of these people that we're talking about, they live in
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: food deserts. And everybody knows that if you live in
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: a food desert, you're at an elevated risk for obesity
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: because you don't have, you know, adequate access to good
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: food to you eating all the cheap, high calorie nonsense.
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: All right, well, it's the Breakfast Club. Come on the
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Call me you opinion to the breakfast Club top.
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: I get five five one five one morning. Everybody is
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: DJ Envy Charlemagne, the guy. We all the breakfast club. Naphew,
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: you're talking about what we're not doing anymore in twenty
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: twenty three. What are we leaving in twenty twenty three,
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: I mean twenty twenty two. I'm gonna tell you something else, man,
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: I told you going into twenty twenty three. I really
