  Speaker 1: thing where you can remain anonymous because nobody like rich people. Okay,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: it's a fact, so let's remain anonymous. Okay. Now, Health
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: in Canada, they're saying Canada lift restrictions on gay men
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: donating blood. That a Prime Minister of Canada said this
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: is good news for all Canadians, but had taken too long.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: They've been trying to lift the band for the last
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: ten to fifteen years. I've been having problems. So after research,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: they said there is no difference, of course, So they
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: are lifting the band on a gay man. I didn't know.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know that they had a rescription on gay
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: men don't ate them blood. Yeah, now, this is what
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I don't understand. FDA announces a proposed band to band
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: flavored cigarettes and blunt wraps. What is the difference between
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: flavored and regular? Is it? Is it worse because it's bad? Anyway?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I don't ask me because I don't smoke either. It
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: just doesn't make sense. What are they banning them for?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: What's the reason. They say, it's the combination of the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: tobacco and like the artificial flavoring that they use that
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: make it more dangerous, make it more dangerous than what
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: it does already. But already come a lot of stuff.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but they Oh, we need to lift
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the band or putting sweet stuff in your mouth. Okay,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: that's what we need to do. It's Canadas's Canada's lifting
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: bands on gay stuff. We need to live bands on
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: gay stuff. You should be allowed to put anything sweet
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: in your mouth that you want to, all right, And lastly,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: this is crazy. A Florida sheriff was forced to make
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a heartbreak and arrest while hunting local meths suppliers his
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: own daughter. He had to arrest his own daughter. She
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: was a meth supplier and he had to arrest her
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in a stig. She was a mother of three. She
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: was delivering a large quantity of meth, he said. She
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: was arrested last week for trafficking and possessing coking. That
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: police officer job, He said, I felt terrible about it,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: but I also knew that the quantity of drugs she
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: was selling was unbelievable and that she had to be stopped.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: That's right. You are here to protect and to serve, sir,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and that woman is a threat to our community. They said.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: They said, did it feel good? He said, no, it
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: didn't feel good, but it had to be done. Clean
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: up these streets, starting with your own home. That's what
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about. You know how they say if you
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: want to really make a change, you gotta start in
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: your own home. That man is starting in his own
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: home dropping a clues bomb for that police office. Okay,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: you're going to jail. Jess what because I don't know.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: As soon as you said, math I knew what rich
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: it was. Okay, as soon as you said meth I
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: knew the call Cassidy. In that situation, she's not gonna
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: give it or the heads up though, like Lott, No,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: because you know why, cause you're messing up the family business.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm a police officer. Look, okay, you got
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to get out of Dodge for the next couple of days,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: trust me. No, don't ask any questions. No, go to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: go to Disney. No, you're going to jail because you
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: know what happens in a situation like that. He's jeopardizing
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: not only his livelihood, he's jeopardizing his freedom. So if
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: they find out he was helping her in any way,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: shape or for him and giving her any type of
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: heads up, he gonna end up going to jail. I
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: think he beat that of court. That's his daughter. I mean, listen, man,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: White people can do a lot of different things. So
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: if you tell me, I think he'd beat that in court,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Sure he could with the right attorney. But I respect
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the fact he did the right thing. All Right, you're
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: going to jail, man, all right, You're going to jail.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And always told you if you didn't that create he
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: was gonna end up here. Okay, didn't I tell you?
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: If you didn't that grate you was gonna end up here.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Now look at you, Okay. That would be a good
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: conversation if he asked both breaks. Would you arrest your
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: daughter and send it to jail? Hey, I would give
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: a little heads up. It just depends. I'm not mad

  Speaker 1: at him for what he did. I don't know what
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I would do. I don't know what I would personally

  Speaker 1: said you better find it. And they've been in court
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: for the last two three years for fifty yards money.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I see people saying, why it's fifty still on her
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: about this? If somebody owed you forty thousand dollars, wouldn't
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: you be on him about that too? Yes, And I
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: don't want to hear. Oh, fifty got money, he got
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: all these hit TV shows. Money is money when you
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: owe me, I want my bread. Yeah, I feel the
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: same way. And guess whether the roles of reverse you
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: think she wouldn't be on his head like that? Yes?
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: She absolutely? Okay, knock at off businesses, business, get your money. Fifth, now, Lizzo.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: She talks about doing a versus but not necessarily rapping
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: or singing with food, random combination of food versus who
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: wins Lizzo versus Sweetie? Y'all just think Sweetie eats random combinations.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: That's It's not that it's not that uncommon pop eating
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: like that. It's just don't nobody talk about it. She'll
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: do like, yeah, sometimes freezes it. I don't know if
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: you've done something right. My food combinations are disgusting. Mustard
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: and watermelon, we're not the same. It's unthinkable, right, I'm
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the vegan version. That's it. I've heard people talk about
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: mustard and watermelon before. So Lizzo Sweetie food battle, who wins?
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I've never seen Lizzo get
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: down like that. I'm gonna have to go with Sweetie
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: from what I've seen. You know, Lizzo vegan too, Like
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: what kind of weird combinations can you really put together
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: with vegan? Yeah, you know, Sweetie puts together some nasty
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: combinations to me, cheetos and ramen noodles. All that sounds
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: to me like it's the tallest gonna win, and that
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: that's gonna win that versus the tarlet. Okay, gonna get
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the best to Lizzle and Sweetie after that verses, Yes,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: it is now least. Lizzo also talks about having an
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: angle problem in that same interview. I had an anger problem, Like, yeah,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I really did. I had an anger problem back then,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: and um I would fight, you know really, yeah, I
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: think I had like a lot of pins up anger
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: in me. Because I wasn't expressing it, yeah, the right
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: way even through my music. I wasn't really tapped in
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: like I am now to where I can just like
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: let it flow. Because I think i'd written truth hers
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. So that was like the beginning of
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: me even realizing, oh, music can try for me. Yeah,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not an out of control type fighter. I'm I'm
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: gonna get you cauld Yeah. Yeah, little looks like she
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: get down. Also, I know people will probably think just
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: because Lizzle was bigger, she probably would win that versus
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: battle with Sweedi because they probably think she's been doing
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of wild food combinations or whole life. But
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: just because you, you know, I got that weight on,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: you don't mean that you've been eating wild food combinations correctly,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: just be eating large portions difference. I mean, yeah, I
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: guess now. Also, let's change against Steve Harvey. He was
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: on E News and they asked him about Michael B.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Jordan if he would give him relationship advice. What relationship
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: advice would you give to Michael B. Jordan's really none
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: in me? You know, I'm not you know, he's gonna
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: have to hurn it. I'm not gonna help so, you know,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: but he's a nice guy. You know, it's very respectful.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: So family is really great, a great family man. I know,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: it's father person. So it's going good for them, you know.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Just relationships are hard, especially they young, and they're in
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: a Hollywood type relationship. And I'm cheering for him, you know. Yeah.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not giving you no advice on how to continue
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: to do whatever it is you're doing my daughter. But
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: if he's a good guy, don't you want him to
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: That's all I want you to be. That's the only
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: advice I'm giving you. Be a good guy, be a good,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: respectful human to my daughter. Can't you want to help
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: him out? If he's a good guy, make sure he's
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: you know, No, I just want him to be a
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: good guy. Once I know he's a good guy and
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: he's a respectful human to my daughters. That's all I
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: can about. I ain't giving you no more advice other
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: than that. Figure it out on your own, young man, Okay,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: figure it out on your own. You wouldn't want to
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: help the man if you like him, like, well, let
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: me help him as a cheat coach. Steve Harvey's done
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: enough of that he wrote that damn book. Okay, all right,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: he's giving enough cheak cold out. I'm not giving out
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: no cheat cold. I want you to, you know, continue
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: to earn your position and my daughter's life the right way. Plus,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: you know, she got to make all those choices on
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: her own regardless. Wuldn't you wouldn't you rather your daughter?
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: You got four of them? I God for him. Wouldn't
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: you rather your daughter know the real person as opposed
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: to you know, me giving him a little cheek cold here?
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: And oh you know she likes this, you know she
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: likes that. Hey, you should do this, you should do that.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't you rather him him be himself? And she grow
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: to love that person on their own, not because of
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the cheek coach put it like that. Then yeah, I'm
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: not giving him no cheat coach. Yeah, well Stevey. He
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: also talks about his stylish weights. How does it feel
• 23:57

• 25:51
  Speaker 1: dj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are to
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Breakfast club's getting some front page news. Let's talk your president,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: President Joe Biden. Now, Joe Biden says he is not
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: considering fifty thousand dollars in student loan forgiveness, he says,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: but I'm in the process of taking a hard look
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: at whether or not there will be additional debt forgiveness.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: So now I like this because you're gonna tell another story.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: That's a minute that connects all of these dots. Okay,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the campaign promise was they was gonna get rid of
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: a student loan, that it was gonna give everybody that
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: was in student loanedb like, what ten thousand dollars a piece.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I think it was correct. Okay, but now they're not
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: talking about that at all. Now they're not talking about that.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Now watch this. Watch this. He's not going to take
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: you fifty thou. But now your President, Joe Biden is
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: asking Congress for thirty three billion dollars in Ukraine. Aid
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: more money for Ukraine. That's right, we have audio. We
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: have almost exhausted what we call the fancy phrase to
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: draw down authority. The Congress authorized Ukraine and a bi
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: partisan spending bill last month. Basically, we're out of money.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: And so that's why today, in order to sustain Ukraine
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: as a as a continues to fight, I'm sending Congress
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: a supplemental budget request. It's gonna keep weapons and ammunition
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: flowing without interruption to the brave Ukrainian fighters and continue
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: delivering economic humound of turning assistance to the Ukrainian people.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: They're asking for more and more money for Ukraine, billions
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: and billions of dollars. But when it comes to something
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: like student loan that in this country, they are taking
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: a hard look at it, not promising nothing, even though
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: they promised on the campaign trail. They're just gonna take
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: a hard look at student loan that now. But they
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: ain't got no problem asking for money for a whole
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: other country, thirty three billion dollars man on top on
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: top of what they've already given them. Let me just
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: ask your questions. He just said they ain't got no more,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: but he already always said they ain't got no more
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: money until they need more money. I'm just I'm just
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: asking the question if if we started an airstrike with
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: with let's just say, with with Putin, just to go
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: get Putin, how much with that cost? I don't ask me.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Are you gonna ask me some type of questions like
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I'm some geopolitical expert that I know how much the
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: airstrike costs on Putin? I don't know it would be
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: less than thirty three million. I'm so much. Man asked
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: me things that I know, asked me how much the
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: number two is at McDonald's. How much is the number two?
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Back in the day it used to be with tax
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: twenty four attacks, It's way way back in the day.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Now we have more, you know, we're born in the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: nineteen hundred. That button about button byten. Also Biden also
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: as asked for additional funding. This assistance would provide even
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: more artillery, armored vehicles, anti armored systems, anti air capabilities
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: that have been used so effectively thus far in the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: battlefield by the Ukrainian warriors, you know. And it's going
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: to deliver much need of humanitarian assistants as well as food, water, medicine, shelter,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: another aid to Ukrainians displaced by Russian's war and provide
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: aid for those seeking refuge in other countries from Ukraine.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: It's also going to help schools and hospitals open. It's
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: going to allow pensions and social support to be paid
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: to the Ukrainian people so they have something something in
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: their pot. Don't disrespect to anybody overseas, but I feel
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: like we're helping all these issues that other people have,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: but we have these same issues here, right. We always
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: talk about schools here are not funded enough, they don't
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: have computers, they don't have books, a lot of kittles
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: going up not up to par. Or military our retired
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: vets are don't have the service and treatment that they need,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: but we're quick to ask for thirty three billion dollars.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: That just sounds wild. Yeah, And when you hear things
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: like this, um, you know, I hate to say it,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: but you know, you have to agree with with with
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, right because Trump repeatedly said the US provides
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: you know, too much cash for for for for natal
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: and things like that, spending big on maintaining military defense
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: systems across Europe, and he wanted Europe to pay their
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: FASH share instead of US paying all of that damn money.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: So I have to agree with him on that. And lastly,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: something that I was excited about. Google said now that
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: it's created a firm that users can submit to take
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: things off of Google, Like if you have private information
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: on Google, whether it's home address, logging, credentials, personal images,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: or anything, any documents that can hurt you, phone numbers, addresses,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: anything like that, Google may remove your personal information, which
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: is pretty good. It's too late night. They already got us. Yeah,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: that is true too, but for now one and they're
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: saying that they will have a form that they can
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: take all that information off. But they said, Google say
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: they will automatically remove the results and that there must
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: be a threat of abuse for the request to be considered.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: So I mean, I think that's a good thing about time.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Now listen, man, everybody straighten up. Okay, Yes, there's there's
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: a queen and is about to enter this room. Legend. Okay.

  Speaker 1: biggest favor and go do that this weekend. I guarantee

• 31:29
  Speaker 1: for taking time to come and sit with us. It's
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: just so exciting show on the schedule of Viola Davis
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Finding Me. Yes man, man, this book is such a
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: beautiful exploration of your your inner child. Like when you
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: started the journey of writing this book, did you know
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: you would go on that journey with your inner child
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: as well? Yeah? That was the whole point that I
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: needed to find that inner child. And my inner child
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: was one that needed both healing and needed to be celebrated.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: She was a survivor as well as someone who you know,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: held a lot of trauma. But I felt like I
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: had to explore it because we were at that period
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: of time. I wrote it during the pandemic, you know,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: the George Floyd of it all, the almand Aubrey, Brionna
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Taylor of it all, everything dealing with the COVID, with
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the election. I felt like I was having a crisis
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: of meaning, and it was my way of pressing the
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: reset button just to understand, man, Viola, what are you
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: supposed to do from here on out? It just was
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: a big wake up call personally and you know, culturally.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: So that's why I wrote the book. I had to
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: go back to the beginning of me. When you start
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: during a pandemic, or this was something you were doing beforehand,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: and you were just so many projects. He was like,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I'll get to it though this was pandemic. This is
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: what I want to do. Well. I didn't want to
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: do nothing during the pandemic, but I did start during
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: the pandemic. I had just finished How to Get Away
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: with Murder. I literally just ended it that March, and
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: then I started writing the book. It was something to
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: do because otherwise I was going stir crazy. I wasn't
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: the person who settled into the pandemic. I felt everything
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: that was going on around me, and I felt the
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: chaos of it, and I internalized it. So this book
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: was great therapy. So when God made you sit still
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: in you know, during the pandemic, what did you see
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: about yourself that you hadn't saw in a while. I
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: saw a lot of things. I saw Viola as a survivor.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I saw, you know, I keep telling this story ad nauseum.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I know I've told it a lot, but I've always
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: said you got to leave a legacy, right, So I said,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: you know, it's life. It's like a relay race. It's
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: what you do with your dash of time. And what
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: great runner you pass that baton, you know, off to,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: You pass it on to the next generation. They pass
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: it on to the person you know who's after them
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: and after them. And I realized during the writing of
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: the book, is those great runners are you at a
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: different age? The six year old who survives it then,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: you know, may survive it really messy may have been inappropriate,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: but she ran her leg of the race and passed
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: the baton onto the fourteen year old Viola, who said,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I want to be an actor. In the midst of
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: all the poverty, the abuse, the bed wedding, the sexual
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: all of that, she wanted to be an actor. She
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: saw a way out and fourteen year old pass it
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: on to the twenty eight year old who said, you
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: know what, I need therapy because I want healthy relationships
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: in my life. I want to be happier, and I
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: don't know how to do that, and she passed it
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: on to the thirty four year old Viola, who got
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: married to the fort forty five year old Viola who
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: then became a mom. And then now I'm fifty six
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: and I have the baton in my hand, and now
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: what you know, what am I supposed to do with
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: this part of my life? Because I would say, at
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: fifty six, you're a little bit past midlife. So that's
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: what I learned. It's like it's a constant reassessment of
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: where do you want to be, what do your life,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: what do you want your life to sort of look like?
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: And I keep coming back to this because I know
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I know that, I know that, I know that the
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: number one regret of the dying is they didn't take risks,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: they didn't become their ideal self. I don't want anyone
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: to think that I wasn't brave. And I think that
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: sometimes people hold off braveness and courage because they don't
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: want to risk failure and they don't want to risk shame.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: And I think you got to risk it. And that's
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: been my biggest discovery in writing the book. You're say
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: in the book that memories are powerful, right, Some people
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: like to beget memories because it's so painful. It's so hurtful,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: but it seems like you use it as inspiration to
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: push yourself. Why is that. I think the pain the
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: trauma is equal to the joy and the peace in
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: your life. I think that they're one and the same.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think that the pain and the trauma and
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: the hard times are a detour from life. I think
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: it's a part of life. And I think that when
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: you refuse to lean in to all of it is,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: you refuse to become connected to yourself. And that's why
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: no one can connect with anyone else, because the only
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: time we want to meet is with great stories of
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: overcoming and winning. And then when someone feels like they
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: are not overcoming and they're not winning, and they're not
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: waking up happy every day, then they feel like they
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: need to hide in the closet, not come out, not
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: open their mouths, not saying anything. There's no one to
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: share with, there's no sacred space to be you. I
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: count it all joy. Now, when I say I count
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: it all joy, it takes some time. I'm sometimes account
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: it all joy, But I do believe that it's all
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: a part of life. I've been in too many spaces
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: where I haven't been able to connect with people. You
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: just never know what people have gone through to get
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: to where they are today, which is why memoir like this,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: where you were so open and honest about everything, it
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: really helped us to see like where you come from
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: when you're acting. And I wanted to ask you about
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: your relationship with your parents because in this book you
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: talk a lot about things that happened to you when
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: you were a child. What did you realize while writing
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: this book about like your father and about your mother.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I realized they did the best they could with what
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: they had. That's what I realized. Because it's so hard
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: to forgive your dad. I know, you know you talk
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: about how abusive he was to your mother and things
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: that you had to witness. So was it hard for
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: you to even forgive that? Yeah, forgiveness is to me.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like forgiveness and faith are equal in terms
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: of they're the hardest things to achieve. It's they're so abstract,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: So it comes down to choice. I forgive for myself.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I forgive because I don't want to carry that weight,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: the weight, the vengefulness of regret and all of that
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: for me, it blocks everything from coming into your life.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: And I don't think that anyone wants to see a
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: sixty year old or here is sixty year old sitting
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: in run their therapists saying, I, you know, haven't been
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: able to make my marriage work or this work in
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: my life because what my dad did when I was five.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: At some point your life becomes yours as well. That
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: you said that because my wife was up here the
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: other day and she was like, you know, when she forgave,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: she be gave for herself. And I didn't understand it
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: at first because most people think when you forgive, your
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: forgiving the person that hurts you. But it's actually to
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: to not to take away that pain from yourself so
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: you don't have to deal with it anymore. That is
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: that you say when you say I forgive for myself, Well, yeah,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: that's part of it. I do believe it's a sort
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: of prison, and not to get to philosophical of course,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: but I believe that when you get to the end
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: of your life, you're not thinking about all the people
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: that you hated and all the people that did you wrong.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think that you're thinking about that when you're
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: taking your last breath. I just don't. I think all
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: of that goes away, and I think everything comes into
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: sharp focus, which is probably making amends, probably being with
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: the people that you love, probably sewing everything up, probably
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: holding someone's hands. But I don't think that we're thinking
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: about all of that. I think that once again, the
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: only person you could say is yourself. That's the only
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: thing that you could do. You can't keep backtracking as
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: what wrong someone did to you or whatever. You got
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: to figure out how to heal that. It's like, you
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: don't you haven't met all the people who are going
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: to love you in your life yet, and so when
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: you meet all these people who are gonna love you,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: they do not want to meet a vengeful person, okay,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: because they're gonna get the overflow of that vengefulness. As
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: a matter of fact, they're not going to get the
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: overflow of that vengefulness. They're gonna get nothing. They're gonna
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: go so far with you and then it's gonna stop.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: I've been with those people. They're called emotionally unavailable. We
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: are well with Viola Davis. When we come back, don't move.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: It's to breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Angela Yee Charlomagne, the guy we are to Breakfast Club.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: We're still kicking it with Viola Davis Charlomagne. I love
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: how you held your father accountable but also humanize them.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Did you always see the humanity in him or was
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: that something that happens as you got oh do it,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: you know with the more work you did on yourself. Absolutely,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: more work I did it on myself. The more I
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: saw his humanity, the more I could connect the dots.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: You know. I thought life was like a Disney movie.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: People were just good or bad. That's it. The evil
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: villain who just comes out just wants to destroy everyone.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that people acted because of specific memories
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: once again, trauma in their lives. The people, and we
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: really demonize black people, you know, and very way. You
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: wouldn't even be doing what you're doing if all those
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: things hadn't happened to you as a child. Absolutely, because
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: it was such an escape for you to be able
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: to turn on the TV. You said it was Cicely
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Tyson right that you saw that made you even say
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: this is what I want to do. Absolutely, that woman
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: and that performance was everything. I remember the moment I
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: saw that performance because it was like magic. It was
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: like it was a magician pulling a rabbit out of
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: the hat. If you've ever seen the performance, she aged
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: from eighteen to one hundred and ten, and you could
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: not even believe it. From the first frame of that
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: it was a mini series. And literally the wind stopped blowing,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: the sun came out, and I saw a portal way
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: out of the poverty, the trauma. I just felt like,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: if I could do that, I could make a life.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: I think sometimes you gotta see it, you know, And
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: I know everybody just puts faith on people, especially on us,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: especially on black folks. I know that's all we had.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: And and but it's a lot. You know. You go
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: up to young black kids who were coming from really
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: challenging backgrounds, and people come up to them and say,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: you know, you could be what who and what you
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: want to be. You just have to dream big. And
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: then once you make it, you come back, you bring
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: your family up, you bring your community up. And I'm
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: sure if that kid had a language, he would say,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: how that's a lot you just throw and then you
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: gotta work ten times as hard. You throw all of
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: that on their lap, and then at fifty. If they
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: can't even get if if they can't achieve it at all,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: or they feel like they want to give up, then
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: we just brate them. It's a lot that we put
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: on them. So sometimes you gotta see it, you gotta
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: hold it, you gotta somebody's got to throw you a rope,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: they do. Honestly, What was you talk about, sicily, But
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: what was some of your positive influences? Because you know,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: you talk about, you know, your parents and how you
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: looked at your dad, and you talked about, you know,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: going to the white school and the white kids chasing
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: me all the bricks, and you talk about all those things.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: So what positive influence did you have? What was your
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: safe haven as a kid? If there wasn't there was
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: no one safe haven for me. What life becomes about
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: is how someone can take you from A to a plus,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: from a plus to D, from D to you know,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: to M to M. You know, there are people who
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: can carry you at different points in your life. It
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: could be a teacher, it could be a parent, it
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: could be a relative, it could be a stranger that
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: gives you one word. I had a lot of teachers,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: even the first teacher who looked at me. And he
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: was an acting coach who looked at me and told
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: me I was beautiful. That meant a lot to me.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: And the first person who just came into science class
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: because he was a teacher and I called him in
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: the middle of the day. He was an upward bound
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: teacher and I said, I was having a panic attack.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: He came to the school. He interrupted science class. He said,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: I want to see viola. The science teacher said, you
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: can't do that. He said, excuse me, sir, I'm gonna
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: do it. Anybody, anybody who throws you a rope and
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: sees you and likes you. There is something about someone
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: looking at you and liking you right, and even saying
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: your potential when you can't see it absolutely, because sometimes
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: you tuck yourself out of things right because of fear.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: But then someone tells you, like you're a science teacher, listen,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: you need to apply for this. You can do it,
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: and you tell yourself, I can't do it. Why would
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: they take me? Why would accept me by somebody else
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: believing in you and giving you the tools, Like you
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: can't make excuses anymore after a while, And you know what,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: very seldom am I in a space. And I know
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: y'all can say the same thing, but am I in
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: a space specially as a dark skinned black woman, and
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: could speak my truth about what that means the isolation
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: of that experience, okay, because it comes at you threefold.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: It comes at you through yes, white America. It comes
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: to you through the experience and the culture of America,
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: and it comes to you through even black culture. I'm
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: just going to say it because it's called colorism. It's
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: its own different sect of racism, and it is destructive
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: because what you tell women in general is that beauty
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: is a value, which it's not. Listen, I'm one of
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: those people. I think everybody's beautiful, and I really do.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: I don't talk about stuff like that. Oh yes, well
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: the bull frogs. That's a different level. There was some
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: meaning women. But you consider it a value. And with
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: someone who you feel has value, you pay attention to them,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: You pour into them. You think that they're smarter, more valuable,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: more everything. So when you go up to little chocolate
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: girls who are darker than a paper bag and you're
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: constantly telling them they're not as cute, they have bad hair,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: they have this that you're putting negative connotations and then
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: you can now you can literally google people who seem
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: to have had press conferences to talk about how unattractive
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: they find darker skinned women. I mean, here's the thing.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Even if if you feel that way, why are you
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: gonna spread that? How do you think people could have
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: received that? And we know how difficult it is to
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: get a leg up, you know in the black community,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: the lack of opportunity what we're running from, and then
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: you're gonna put that on us and so And when
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: you can't speak your truth in the room, then you
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: feel like you have to hide yourself. It's very it's
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: like physically painful. I want I want to ask you
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: a couple more questions about your father because I found
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: that dynamic so interesting. And you said something in the
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: book and on paraphrasing, but you said your father was
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: an abuser who became a good partner. Yeah, and this
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: era canceled coaches. Some people couldn't even imagine that happening.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Can you explain he did? And I think he always
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: had it in him. I think he was wrestling, you know.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: I always feel like it got two people that you
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: wrestle with, right, and it's who you feed, and I
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: think he fed the more violent aspects of himself. I
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: think he was running from a lot. But in the
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: last several decades, I think, since I was probably in
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: my twenties, he helped my mom raise a lot of
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: my relatives children, and he loved my mother. He was
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: always there rubbing her feet, and towards the end of
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: his life, I mean, I say towards the end, the
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: last couple of days of his life, my mom would
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: always say, every single day he woke up, even when
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: he was suffering from dementia, towards the end, he would say,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: you know, may Alice, you know I'm sorry about what
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: I did to you. Wow, I'm sorry. I feel like
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: that's everything. I mean, how many people do you know
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: that even make amends, that even opened their mouths, And
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: I think that that, I feel like that has to
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: be acknowledged as an incredible character trait. All right, Well,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: no movie got more with Viola Davis. When we come back,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: We're still kicking it with Viola Davis. Charlomagne have you
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: had some conversations with your mom before this book came
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: out about Yes, because I know I saw you talking
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: to Oprah about that. So even afterwards, like after she
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: read it, what did she say? My mom has not
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: read it yet, but I talked to my mom all
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: the time about it. Once again, there are qualities I
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: love and my parents that probably are not the qualities
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: that I elevated. And the quality that I love in
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: my mom is she likes to tell the truth. And
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: I know that that sounds like really simple, but there's
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: not a lot of people like telling the truth. A
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: lot of people are very comfortable with telling a great,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: beautiful lie. She's not afraid of that of leaning in.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: I like my relationship with my mom now as an
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: adult because I can ask her some pretty racy questions. Yeah.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you about a quote and it
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: came from a sit down with your mom when you
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: was telling her. I guess when you first about the
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: first when you was experience and abuse. You told her
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: for the first time about all these abuse experience and
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: you said success pales in comparison the healing. Yeah, could
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: you expand on it? I think you know the point
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: in the book when I when I wrote that, and
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: it took me a long time to write that part
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: is I mentioned that, you know, I'm living in this
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: big house. I'm definitely living the American dream or whatever.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: And I think that people feel like, once you hit that,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: then that's it. Ever, your life is sown, you've made it,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: and it's not it. I think that's man made meaning.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: The real meaning is healing. It really is. It's healing
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: from the wounds. It's the journey to healing. And especially
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: because you know, once I told her that once again,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: I expected a response that I would see on Thursday
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: night line up on ABC. And how can you expect
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: that with something as complicated as sort of any kind
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: of sexual assault that happens within families in this instance,
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: my brother, and I'm telling my mother this, and this person,
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: this brother, came out of her body. There's a simplicity
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: in which we approach humanity, and I think that human
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: beings are way more complicated than that. So the path
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: the healing is difficult, But for me, it's everything. It's
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: not healing or healing has been the one thing that
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: has gotten in the way of everything in my life,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: either gotten in the way of it or has released it.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Ability hasn't even released things in my life. Awards haven't
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: released anything in my life. Healing and whatever has happened,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: happening and internally in me has been everything has been
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: the driving now narrative of my entire fifty six years.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: You think you can ever get to a place of wholeness.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, I talk to my therapists about this. I'm not.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think you do. I think you because you'll
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: have triggers right, You'll think you're fine with something and
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: the next thing you know, you're triggered by it later on.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: You think you ever can get to a place. And
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: I talk about that with memories, that memories are deathless.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. I feel like I'm
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm whole. I do, But I feel
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: like life is an absolute journey, just like you don't
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: know how many people are gonna love you. You don't
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: know what's going to happen tomorrow, and you don't know
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: how you're going to react to it. You know, And
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: once again, Thursday night line Up on ABC. I think
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: everybody wants a TV response. I don't think that life
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: is a destination. Life is about driving the car, and
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: sometimes the tank is completely full. Sometimes the tank is empty,
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: and you're standing by the car waiting, you know, for
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: a triple A to come and get you some gas.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Some times to tank as a quarter full. You're constantly learning,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: you're constantly in process, but you hope for One of
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: my favorite quotes is, I don't know the definition of grace,
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: only that it meets you where you are and doesn't
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: leave you how it found you. You want some grace
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: in your life because you're never going to arrive perfectly
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: at any place. Let me get two questions this this
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: week about to go back. You spoke about out of
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: body experiences in the book, and you know you had
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: them when you were younger. I totally understand that because
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: I had those two. But what do you think those
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: experiences we're trying to show us about ourselves, Just the
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: infinite power we have in our minds, and infinite power
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: to transport ourselves, to explore our imagination, which is an
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: infinite field where we can redefine, reimagine, and the power
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: to relieve ourselves of the burden sometimes of negative negativity.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: That everything we have is within ourselves. That's what it
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: taught me. Now I can't do it anymore. So I
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: don't know what that means. It seems like a thing
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: that happened when you was young. When you get older,
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: it don't happen anymore, exactly. I guess you know, when
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: I you know, the world gets at you and the
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: world begins to put up barriers around your life and
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: boundaries that you didn't have when you were younger. Yeah,
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: but I think that's what it teaches you, is that
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: everything you have you have within you and in the
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: secret Silent shame? Why that chapter? Why do you think
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: we as black people think we're doing ourselves a favor
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: by keeping secrets for me? And it's just my opinion.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: I feel, especially as a black woman, that if I
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: think shame is a big thing with black folk, and
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: I think it's post traumatic slave syndrome, that there's a
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: lot things that we weren't allowed to do. Look a
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: white man in the eye, smile, look at a white woman.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: There's so many things that we were punished for. But
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: more importantly, as a black woman, I feel like a
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: lot of the times when I keep things in it's
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: because I know I'm not going to be protected. I
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: know that there's not going to be anyone out there
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: that's gonna rescue me. I'm saying I'm not saying that
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: I need rescuing, But you know what, we need each other,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: we really do. And the lack of adoration, the lack
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: of protection, makes you keep things within and makes you
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: try to just muster through and strong back even if
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: you're broken inside. And who cares about the inner pain
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: of black folk? You better care because certainly the culture
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: in the past has not cared, and we have an
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: aversion to therapy as black folk. I think that's changing, man.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: I do think it's changing too. I completely agree with you.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: But I think that's why we keep things in finding
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: me out right now. And there's so many great topics
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: in this book that I know we can go in
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: depth on at a later time. Fibruarries, that's this topic
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: we're always talking about here with black women. I know
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: you have the docuseries hungry for answers, and I'm excited
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: to talk about too, so you know, hopefully we'll get
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: to continue the conversation about those things too. And I
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: love how you end the book because I've never heard
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: somebody talk about their eight year old self protecting them Now,
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: it's always the other way around, so I would I
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: just want to know how you even got to that
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: point where you feel like the eight year old you
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: was protecting you now. A therapist told me that. He said,
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think you need to heal the eight year old.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: I think the eight year old was pretty tough. She
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: was a good custle. You're a good cussle, you know.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: To the audible version, I'm like, are you like Samuel
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: lol Jackson Lote? But you know I love it? Right? Congratulations,
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: right now, pick it up. It's Viola Davis. It's the
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good Morning, Man, Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Ye,
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club Man. Make
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: sure y'all go get Viola Davis's book. Fine to me,
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: I read it, but I also listened to it. That's
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: my thing nowadays. I'd like to read and listen to
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: the book at the same time. She narrated herself. Phenomenal, phenomenal,
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: phenomenal read man. I think it's really gonna help a
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: lot of individuals with their healing. But it is very
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: triggering if you grew up a certain way. But it's
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: a great read. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: Let's talk Kardashians Breakfast Club. All right, let's start light.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: Let's start with Travis Barker. Now they're saying the hell
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: they're saying that Travis Barker went to Robert Kardashian Senior's
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: grave to ask for permission to marry Courtney. He said,
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: he wants to get married. Of course the dad passed away,
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: so he went to the grave to ask for permission.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: Why do you listen, man, I understand why people go
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: to grave sites, you know, but the grave site is
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: really the symbol like a person's spirit still exists. You
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: can talk to a person's spirit anywhere. So he didn't
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: have to take that travil. No, I mean, nobody has
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: to do that. I understand why you do it, because
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: you know, you you buried your your loved one, so
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: you go there to you know, paying homage to the
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: to the grave site. But it's just like, yeah, you
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: can talk to the spirit of somebody anywhere. All right. Well,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: you remember a couple of months ago, Kanye was talking
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: about getting the laptop back from Ray J. When he
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: was sitting down with Jason Lee from Hollywood. Unlock. That's right.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Let's listen. You know, how are you going to bring
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: me to s now and kiss the dude you dating
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: right in front of me, and everybody's like, oh, that's
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: that's cool. After I went and when he got the
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: laptop from ray J myself that night, right, and then
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: got on red I met this man at the airport,
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: then got on a Red Eye, came back, delivered it
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: to her at eight animal in the morning, and then
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: I gave it to her and she cried when she
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: saw it. Well, of course, keeping up with the Kardashians,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: h they have a show us. I think it's on Hulu,
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: right on Hulu. So the episode last night, Kim Kai
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: talks about it and she's actually crying and all that
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: other stuff. So Kanye flew last night and he came
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: back this morning. Can't want to show you guys what
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: he got me. He got me all of the sex
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: take out, Oh my god. And he got her drive
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: and airport and got it all. Kim Oh my god.
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, I know Kanye did this for me, but
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: he also did this for my kids. I want to
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: shield them from as much as I can, said Calf said,
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: where's this coming from? It's your fault, that's mine. Okay,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: all right, go ahead, all right, let me let me
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: RePhase that. Ray J said, cab. He said, all of
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: this is a lie. Shaking my head. I can't let
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: them do this anymore. So untrue. I would like to
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: know what ray J is talking about. But what I
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: also found interested in that clip. If you watch that clip,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: is that Kim said there was nothing on those tapes.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: Like she said, it was like them at dinner and
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: them doing like regular stuff. So like, why did they
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: keep calling them sex tapes if there's nothing on them? Yeah,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: and why did y'all hear that in the clip of
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: my triplets? Can you play that clip again? Let's tailor
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: might have cut it, but that isn't there right, Oh,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: let me hear it. Listen, it's the end part. We
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: gotta pull it up. We'll pull it up, pull it up, No,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: I said, pull it up. No, that's not it. Oh no,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: mind right last night and you can't fast forward? No, no, no,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: sea back. Oh my god, and he home you got
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: her guy and Raj at the airport and got it all. Kim,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's amazing. And no Kanye did this kid?
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: I want to shield them from as much as I can. No. Oh, yeah,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: she keeps talking and she said, there's nothing really on
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: the tips. She was like, they're at dinner and they're
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: like doing regular stuff, a couple of stuff. Then why
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: is she crying? Man? I don't know, because it's TV,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: That's why. Why is it so because it's TV. If
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: we're just going to get dinner and just change the beach,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: it's TV. Why is it so dramatic? It's TV? Okay,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: So like, why was it so? Listen? First of all,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: stop questioning the best? Who ever did it for reality TV? Okay?
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: All right? Dropping a clue BUMX for the Kardashians. All right,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: we've been talking about them for ten years? Okay, all right?
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: So you mean there was nothing, no other sex. They
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: were just having dinner. Unless I heard wrong. I thought her.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: I heard her say that they were just they it
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: was just regular stuff on there, like them that dinner
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: and them doing some other stuff. They want to cry,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: and I don't know, I don't know. Maybe she thought
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: it was something else but it wasn't. I don't know.

  Speaker 1: getting special entrances to get in and out of the courtroom,
• 1:02:32

• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: They said, this is not usually what people do, but
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: because they are the Kardashians, allegedly, that's what's happening. Okay,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: that's all you got. Man's Kardashian news. First of all,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: at first I thought, you know what, they are celebrities,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: so I understand that. But then like, nah, we've seen
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: celebrities walking out of court surrounded by cameras, so yeah,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: that would be preferential treatment. But that's all you up. Yeah,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: that's it. That's it, this Kardashian news. I'm just curious

• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: they just going to dinner, chilling on the listen to me. Yeah,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: I'm just talking. I'll just be thinking. I hear stuff. Okay,

• 1:03:27

  Speaker 1: know how to communicate with each other, no more especially men,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: young men when it comes to women. You know what
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, and trying to highlight women. You know, we
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: grew up in the nineteen hundreds, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: We grew up in a very romantic era. Last decade.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: Come on, now, we grew up in a very right now,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: that wasn't the last decade a couple, you know what

• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Donkey of the Day for Friday, April twenty nine goes
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: to a student at a high school in Chicago. The
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: high school is called Burlington's Central High School in Central
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: Community Unit School District three oh one. That's a long
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: ass name for a high school. Okay, I want to
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: salute one of the students at the school, a young sister,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: a young queen by the name of Kayla Haynes. Dropping
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: on the clues bombs for Kayla Haynes police. I guess
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: it's Prim season in a lot of places, and its
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Prom season in Chicago, and folks is chosen, Okay, trying
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: to see who they want to go to Prim with,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: trying to see who to ask to go to Prime.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: And one things for sure, two things for certain, y'all
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: don't know how to talk to no women. Okay, listen, younges,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: this your uncle charlat talking. Okay, brother Lenard, I am
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: forty three years old. I was born in the nineteen hundreds,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: dropping the clues bombs for everybody born in the nineteen hundreds. Okay,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't pass the ball, but I know a little bit,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: and I know that social media has made a whole
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: generation of people socially awkward. Now, I'm a person that
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: deals with heavy anxiety, so interactions with humans are already
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: awkward and have always been awkward. But growing up in
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: the nineteen hundreds, I still developed great social skills because
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: I had no other choice. Okay, I had to talk
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: to people. I had to look people in the eyes
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: when I talk to them. I couldn't hide behind an
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: avatar or stay in my room on YouTube all day
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: communicating with people through phones and computers. In fact, we
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: spent hours on the phone actually talking to people. Think
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: about that, Okay, I am an individual who hate small talk.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: I hate trying to force conversation. So think about growing
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: up in the nineteen hundreds and being on the phone
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: with a person for hours, just talking okay words, hearing
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: them actually speak their voice. Think about the people you
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: used to sit around and just kick it with laughing, joking, crying, fussing,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: whatever it was. You learned a different set of communication skills. Okay,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: you understood how to read body language. You knew when
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: someone was being sarcastic. Okay, you knew when they were
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: just joking. If it came to a debate, you had
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: to know what you was talking about on the spot.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: You couldn't google things and copy and paste them okay
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: before your post. So you sound smarter than you are,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: all right. You couldn't go online and see what everyone
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: thinks about a situation. It didn't run with those talking points.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: We didn't spend so much time discussing what we think
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: about things. We spent time actually critically thinking. Okay, smartphones
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: had made a generation of dumb people. Emotional intelligence is
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: at an all time low. People don't have any comprehension skills,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: and that is why we don't know how to talk
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: to each other. And you young and definitely don't know
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: how to talk to women. Now, I'm not sitting here
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: saying we knew how to talk to women either, Okay.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: I mean I grew up on Uncle Luke and death
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: Rol records in the nineteen hundred, but I also grew
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: up on Joda. See okay, I grew up on Love Jones.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: All right, UNC knows how to be romantic. And I'm
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you something. One thing I was always good
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: at was a note. Oh those hand letters, Oh oh oh,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: those handwritten letters used to be game changes. Weren't they? Envy?
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: They to drop writing the locker. When a human takes
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: the time to write a letter, pass you a little note,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: whether it's you know, will you go with me? Check yes, no?
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: Or maybe? Gotta have the maybe, always maybe because rejection hurts. Okay,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: so you gotta have the maybe. All right? Oh when
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: a Leah God Bless the Dead came out with four
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: page letter, man, when you write someone a four page
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: letter and then and then you enclose it with a kiss,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: I mean I never did that. Women do that because
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: of the lipstick and that lipstick print on that four
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: page letter. What I used to do with spray cologne
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: on the paper way obsession back in the day dropped
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: on the clus bumps where everybody who used to break
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: alone on the ba and they used to write a
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: little sweetheart a letter. Okay, And I've always had a
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: way with words, which explains why God hasn't me and
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: the professions I'm in now. But all I'm simply saying
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: is we understood the power of our words, because that's
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: all we had. A guy grew up in Monks going
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: to the South Carolina. I ain't no damn money, Okay.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: All I had was a gift to gap. And you
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: had to put real thought, in real feeling into your words.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: And you had to walk up to that woman, looked
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: him in the eyes and slipped him that note. And
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: he said he slipped it in the locker. Okay. But
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: one thing to shore. Two things were certain when you
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: saw him later and got that note back. They wrote
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: you a note back and that number was on it.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: You know, you had to have at least minimum three
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: hours of conversation. So when you got home from school
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: and you took that phone from the kitchen and stretched
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: that card into the living room. Yes, kids, we used
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: to have cards on the phone. When you stretched that
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: card from the kitchen to the living room so you
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: could watch Rap City, you were talking to that individual
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: for at least three hours until your parents came home.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: Then your parents come home and fusted you because they've
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: been trying to call in the line was busy. This
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: is before a call waiting bro the nineteen hundreds was wow,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: who do we call for emergency? Where everybody was on
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: the phote all the time, and you get that damn
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: busy thing. Though, all I'm saying is, y'all don't know
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: how to communicate with each other. Okay, y'all how to
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: communicate with each other without these smartphones and laptops. And
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry that Paul Kayla Haynes had to go through
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: what she went through. But Kayla was asked to go
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: to the prom and her promposal as people in this
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: district of Chicago outraged. Let's go to NBC five Chicago
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: for the report police. The post on social media left
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: Kayla Haynes disappointed and surprised. How could someone in the
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: right mind post this and think it was okay? A
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: classmated Central High School in Burlington posted this for an
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: online prom proposal. It reads, if I were black, I'd
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: be picking cotton, but I'm white, so I'm picking you.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: She's just as wrong as him for her to even
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: take the picture and sit there and say, yeah, oh
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: my god, I would love to go to problem with
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: you with this racist poster. Kayla says while some may
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: see it as a joke, she and many of her
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: class hetmates do not. She recently met with the principle
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: about the post. It's not just a black and white issue.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: It's also Asians, Indians, Hispanics being affected by this too,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: and that needs to be talked about. Eric Monroe Haynes
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: as Kayla's dad. When I read it, I said, Wow,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: she handled it very well to me, and I think
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: the problem now is how the school is going to
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: handle it. Kayala says she liked both of the students
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: to apologize for that post. Meanwhile, the school district's not
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: saying what if any punishment the students could face. If
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: I was black, I'd be picking cotton, but I'm white,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: so I'm picking you. That is so disrespectful. This is
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: why you have to have critical race theory in the schools. Okay,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: young man, I don't know what you've thought the conditions
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: were when black folks was picking cotton in this country.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know what misconceptions you have about that act
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: of labor that made this country rich, but let me
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: be the first to tell you that ain't it. Nope, Okay,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: that wasn't the move those weren't the words to use.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: And the fact that you've made it like it's a postboard.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: So he put thought into it his post board. He
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: got actual cotton for the words, all types of stuff.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: And then somebody took that picture for you, and then
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: you posted it online. Where is the filters, where is
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: the checks and balances? There's nobody that says what are
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: you doing? And then when you tell them, they don't
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: say stop them. Okay, somebody took the picture for you
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: and let you put that online. I mean, come on,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: you might as well have said to her, hey, you
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: look like trash. I need to take you out. Okay.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: Like I know, when we was kids, we would probably
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: you know, act like we didn't like a girl when
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: we really liked the girl. But trust me when I
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: tell you, insults never worked. You will attract more flies
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: with honey than vinegar. Not saying women are flies, it's
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: just to figure of speech, okay. In fact, women are sugar,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: and you should tell a woman, are you sugar? Because
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: you're sweet and I want to spoon you? That? Ain't it? Okay?
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: What about? Are you powdered sugar because you're sweet and fine?
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: Ain't it either? What about baby, I just poured some
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: sugar on myself. Are you ready for a sweet ride?
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: That ain't it either? Okay? My brother, Well, y'all just
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: need to get some money, man, Just get rich because
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: maybe we didn't know how to communicate in the nineteen hundreds,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: like I thought either, okay, but what I know is
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: we was better than this. Yes, all right, please give
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: that young man in Chicago the biggest he hall are
• 1:12:16

• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: that's a good That was that? That hitting the nineteen hundreds.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: Now I know y'all listening out there and y'all like
• 1:12:24

  Speaker 1: slow Walkers iconic gets to walk around slow walker. Yeah,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: it's like a walk around racist too well, because if
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: you get rid of racism, some people can use arrows.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: I walk around and that's grave. I love. Let's talk
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: about your background before you got this show, because you
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: started off with doing this show on your own on Instagram.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, so how did that even start? The endemic
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: was wild. Everyone was breaking like they were making bread.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: That's so I don't do that. And so I started
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: doing this live show on IG Live where I would
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: talk to people like Caroline Callaway or Alice in Roman
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: or like Rose McGowan about race, and it just kind
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: of blew up. But I've been working through this idea
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: since like twenty sixteen. It was it was it that
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: moment that made you discuss race. No, okay, I think
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: that it's inescapable right since birth. You have to deal
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: with that. I don't want to deal with that. I
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: want to talk about, like contouring, I don't want to
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: talk about it sucks. Who wants racism? That's horrible? Yeah, so,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: but it's when you're a kid, you're you're you're, you're
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: confronted with it and suddenly, okay, I've learned to process
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: it as an adult now as anyway, has anybody ever
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: after an interview asked you to take anything out, no comment?
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: How's that happened to you? Yes? Yes, all the time
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: it happens. Let's be honest. Okay, you know sometimes you
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: have to say why I can't hear you you're a phone.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you do that, and then sometimes you do want
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: to save people from theirself or if you know what's
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: going to go out, it might hurt other people. I see. Yeah.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: I am never in the position where I'm trying to
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: be malicious and ruined people's lives. That's not fine, that's
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: not entertaining to me. So I'm just trying to like
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: have good conversations. So I really believe in consent in
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: the interview. Who would your best interview? And I will
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: never say who my best? My interviews are like children.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: It's hard to pick a favorite. Could you pick a favorite? Really?
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: That I will not endure that favorite really no, because
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: it's like chat is so different than Mia Khalifa, which
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: is different than Katchazmachikova, which is different than Charlomagne. Everyone
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: has a different energy and it's like for all these
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: different audiences and because we're coming together with different povs
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: to make one beautiful POV. You know, sometimes before you
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: interview some better, you have a certain view of them, yes, right, yeah,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: and then after you sit down you're like, Okay, that
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: person is completely different than I thought. Day. Where can
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: you give us an example of when that's happened for you?
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: Every single person has surprised me. I'll say about my
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: crew that when the Hanks interview, we do a two
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: parter the interview and then we do his workout app
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: called Hanks Fin And so for the first part of
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: the interview, it's so tense that he walks out and
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: it's pins could drop you can you don't hear anything?
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: It's good. He's like, really, you guys are gonna say anything.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: It's quiet. And then by the Jim segment, the way
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: the crew turned on me in support of this famous
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: baby hurt and so like it's like the energy. We're
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: working through it together, right, and so I wouldn't say
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: the crew expected what they what we got out of
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: it together in that interview, Right, did y'all have any
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: problems booking people for the second season because people saw
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: the first season was like, oh no, I'm not going
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: on there. Well you tell me you're a guest. Well,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: I actually felt that during the interview, I said, I
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: said that I would like. I didn't say that. I
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: literally said to her, I watched this show because I'm
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: a fan of it, and I said, I don't know
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: how they gonna get guests for the second season. Here
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: go on my dumbass great line. That was wild. That's wild.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, here's the thing. You're cool and like, I
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: think it's about being Why did you make that curvice?
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: I think that it's cool. It's cool to come onto
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: the show and be open and be vulnerable and like
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: make something together and make have an interesting conversation. That
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: to me is compelling. Like that to me is valuable.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: You guys have interviews every day. You are the most
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: iconic black radio station. Like what are you talking? You
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: guys have a hit show for a decade, Like it's
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: a huge thing. And every conversation has a different energy
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: and has and the really good conversations have people being
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: honest and are you finished? Are you done? That's that's iconic.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: Like that's so I'm just trying to have cool conversations
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: and I think that what we I think the episode
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: is hot. So for people that don't know, what was
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: your breakthrough moment that got you this deal? Because there's
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of women out there, a lot of people
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: out there that want to do what you're doing, So
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: what was your breakthrough moment that got you in position
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: to get you your show? What was my big through moment? Honestly,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: it takes ten years to become an overnight success. Like
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: mostly my issue, or rather my solution, was just continuing
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: to do it and taking time to focus on my
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: art and invest in myself. And like I was working
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: as a hostess and then I was like working at
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: a comedy as like an assistant and like you kind
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: of move up the rungs. But I just spent time
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: on being like not following any trends and trying to
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: be the people who are hot, but just being like
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: what do I like, what is my perspective? What can
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: I do? Endlessly where I feel like, oh, I don't
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: hate this. And the resolution was that I created this
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: like interview genre because it mixes like my love of
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: like Housewives and then my love of like I don't
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: even know, daytime television, daytime television, and news Oprah Ellen,
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: We just in Catti Lee, throwback, like old school even Tempest.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: We love, we love, we love. So I just that's
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: what I grew up on. I was born in the nineties,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: and so as a result, Yeah, I I made something
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: that I'm really proud of and I'm really happy with time.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: Time is the answer. You've been in the business for
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: a minute, though, you were right, or you're a writer
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: on dr I what else? I wrote an episode of
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: our cartoon President. I wrote an episode of Dickinson. I
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: wrote for um Robin the way back in the day, okay,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: and then on the end before that, and then I
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: was an internet comedy Central that makes sense. So you
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: already in the CBS Viacom family with DSA Marrow and
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: then what somebody saw you doing the Instagram thing. It
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: was like, you know what, this would be a good show.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, A lot of people saw me doing
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: the Instagram thing, and thought that yeah before, Yeah, like,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: I'm very happy we have more with z Way. That's right,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: z Way. When we come back. Her show is on
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: tonight on Showtime. We go talk to someone when we
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: come back, it's the Breakfast Club, Go Morning, DJ Envy,
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: Angela Charlomagne, the guy we are to Breakfast Club was
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: still kicking it with z Way. A show is on
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: tonight on Showtime. When you when you had dreams of
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: being a talk show host, is just to kind of
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: show you envisions for yourself? Yes and no, honestly I
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: did it. I this show came about organically, So the
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: show could not have existed when I was dreaming about
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: being a talk show host because it's influenced by Eric
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: Andre and like zach Alafanaki Ellen and to all those people.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: But um, I always wanted to talk show as a kid,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: Like there's always going to be a facet of my
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: career that interviews people because I just love talking to you.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: You seemed like a conversation list, Like you seemed like
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: the person that was having random conversations with people. Definitely, definitely,
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: I was definitely a weird person in the corner, Like, hey,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: do you like Naruto? Breathing. Okay, exactly an anime joke.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: That's a deep Oh make you uncultured first, okay, seem
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: like me? Okay. Um Ya Naruto is an animate character
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: who's um lovely. We were just talking about to the
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: other day. Sassy Santana was up here Materialsanabroch so he
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: was excited about the icon. Bob, I'm so thankful. I'm
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: so thankful to have that song in my trailer. I
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: think it's absolutely fresh. It's so cool everybody to everyone, Yes,
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: everyone's an icon because all I like about the word
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: icon is the icon is subjective, right, Because to some
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: people like Martin Luther King is an icon, but to
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: other people like Roberty Lee is an icon and everyone
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: has a different POV. And that's back to my thesis
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: POV POV. So do you believe they're right or wrong? Yes? Okay,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: what do you think about sociopath Because it's all about perspective.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not committing crime because I feel like you can't
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: murder people, well unless unless that's what I'm saying. I
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: can't murder people. That's bad, and I don't if it's
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: what if it's in self defense, somebody trying and kill you.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: Are you threatening me? He's waiting for the interviewers come out.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no. Do I believe in right
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: or wrong objectively? Yes? I can say. I can stand
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: by and say I have morals, I have ethics not
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: to flex. Has anyone else I do? Working on my
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: fitness's episode, Charlomagne's episode, is we said it to y'all.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: It's gretty to send it to Charlemagne that that people
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: might not know if anything. I mean you're going to
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: watch the interview and find out. But we talk. I mean,
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: we talk about a litany. I enjoyed it. What was it?
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: What was the experience like? For me? It's always a
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: great experience when you actually like a show. Yeah, and
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: then you're on the show. Yeah, and the show feels
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: like how when you watch? That's why I say it
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: in the moment, like I cannot believe I'm sitting here
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: getting caught up in all of these questions. He gets
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: caught up. But it's beautiful, it's beautiful. We talk about
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: black when we actually use clips from the Breakfast Club,
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: so we prom with the show. Yeah, because the iconic moments, Yeah,
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: little Mama, Hello, oh god, Monique Leonard, Hello, yeah about
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: the edits too though. Well at one point Charlemagne says,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: please don't stop this and say Charlemagne hates Potting. She's
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: just asking for trouble. No comment. I watched the show.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: I know that I see it. It's iconic. It's great,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: Like you're gonna it's really fun. How much of the
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: Way character is actually you? How much is it? It's
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: a character, the Zebra character so rude. I would ask
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: as many questions in real life, like I would be
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: a little more like I wouldn't be so nosy. She's
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: a little nosy. So yeah, she's a woman about her business,
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: whereas z Way the person is I mean, I'm just killing,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: but I bring my pur might bring my humanity to
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: the character, and so that makes it funny. So in
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: the interview, you get a real connection into the respective guests.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: So Charlottagne, it's like they're really surprising moments and you've
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: been doing interview for decades, but there are questions that
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: you've never been asked before. Yeah, so it's it's just like,
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: so but that character. Look, I'm not sitting here being
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: like how many black friends do you have? Like that's
• 1:25:21

• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: guys asked? How many black friends I have? I don't know.
