- 16:36Speaker 1: our women, we gotta protect our children, we gotta protect
- 16:39Speaker 1: our elders. It's time for us to change the middle
- 16:42Speaker 1: and control our own story right about now. It's about
- 16:45Speaker 1: stepping up, not taking no for answer. And if you
- 16:48Speaker 1: know me, you know I never back down and most
- 16:50Speaker 1: of all, never give up. But one last thing, too, dang,
- 16:54Speaker 1: your camera were still gonna need justice for Brianna Taylor
- 16:59Speaker 1: to trade the truth. I'm glad trade the truth is
- 17:01Speaker 1: who he is and what he is. But man, I
- 17:04Speaker 1: would love to hear him doing a quiet storm. He
- 17:07Speaker 1: got a great quiet storm voice. Yeah, trade the tooth
- 17:10Speaker 1: is amazing. Just to see everything that he's been doing
- 17:12Speaker 1: in the community, even though he's um you know, had
- 17:15Speaker 1: to go through a lot of obstacles. Yeah, never let
- 17:19Speaker 1: up all right. In addition to that, Drake was honored
- 17:22Speaker 1: as the Artist of the Decade and he had his
- 17:25Speaker 1: son at Dinas, which was really cute, on the stage
- 17:27Speaker 1: with him. And here is he did like a whole
- 17:30Speaker 1: opening video. I'm supposed to believe in his light skin,
- 17:34Speaker 1: R and B face crying on every song. Does he
- 17:37Speaker 1: even write his own song? I promise you this is
- 17:41Speaker 1: never gonna work. Even if he had a co sign. Okay,
- 17:45Speaker 1: best I ever had was a cute one. But he
- 17:47Speaker 1: needs another one, now, another one, you know what. Okay,
- 17:52Speaker 1: he did it, but can he do it again? No again?
- 17:56Speaker 1: No again? You know what? It was just a lucky guy,
- 18:01Speaker 1: Drake shure to let me write that critique. Sounds like
- 18:04Speaker 1: they did not. I would have been okay, if it's
- 18:08Speaker 1: one if it's one thing I'm good at, its building
- 18:10Speaker 1: the case. It died against the Drake, and you could
- 18:13Speaker 1: have just pulled audio from the breakfast club. Drake, all
- 18:15Speaker 1: right right here. The Brown was also in the video too,
- 18:21Speaker 1: and he gave part of this intro. Are we sure?
- 18:24Speaker 1: It's luck? Nine number one albums, six number one songs,
- 18:28Speaker 1: a record, two hundred and thirty two songs on the
- 18:30Speaker 1: Billboard charts, forty five top ten chart positions, the most
- 18:34Speaker 1: of any artist ever, the first artist of debut at
- 18:37Speaker 1: number one, two and three simultaneous more weeks on the
- 18:41Speaker 1: Hot one hundred than Elvis Preston, Elton John Stevie Wonder,
- 18:46Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, most stream artists of all time. It's not Lucky,
- 18:50Speaker 1: my good friends, it's Sotain death sine. I think that.
- 18:54Speaker 1: I think that's obvious, dropping the clues, bonds for drinkers,
- 18:56Speaker 1: It's obvious. Drake, It's undeniable. Yeah, Drake is who God
- 19:00Speaker 1: wants him to be. That's it, simple as that, all right, well, DNAs,
- 19:06Speaker 1: Like we said, Drake's three year old son was on
- 19:08Speaker 1: stage with him to accept the award, and at one
- 19:10Speaker 1: point he did burst into tears. But it was really cute.
- 19:13Speaker 1: He was holding on to his dad's leg, like, who
- 19:15Speaker 1: are all these people in front of us listen to
- 19:17Speaker 1: this speech? I'm really self conscious about my music. I
- 19:20Speaker 1: rarely celebrate anything. And just for anyone watching this that's
- 19:25Speaker 1: wondering how this happened, it's being so unsure how you're
- 19:28Speaker 1: getting it done that you just kind of keep going
- 19:30Speaker 1: in the hopes of figuring out the formula. The fear
- 19:33Speaker 1: of losing it keeps you up at night. I didn't
- 19:35Speaker 1: really write a grandiose speech about how to make it
- 19:37Speaker 1: work or what it took because I don't quite understand
- 19:40Speaker 1: it myself. I know that I've spent an incalculable amount
- 19:43Speaker 1: of hours trying to analyze all the things I did wrong.
- 19:45Speaker 1: But tonight, for once, I'm sure as hell we did
- 19:48Speaker 1: something right. So hey, sound like he's using that anxiety
- 19:53Speaker 1: just to fuel the man. So drop on a clues, Monster, Drake. Hey,
- 19:58Speaker 1: So tap Latin artist was Bad Bunny. Top Latin male
- 20:01Speaker 1: artists Bad Bunny. Top Latin female artist was Carol g
- 20:06Speaker 1: Award on TV I think, so yeah, that's a huge category.

- 20:37Speaker 1: the police. All right, we'll get into that. Next. It's
- 20:39Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, So Breakfast Club, your morning's

- 21:03Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We
- 21:07Speaker 1: are to Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news.
- 21:11Speaker 1: NBA playoffs quickly. The Bucks beat the Heat, Mavericks beat
- 21:14Speaker 1: the Clippers, the Nets beat the Celtics, Trailblazers beat the Nuggets.
- 21:17Speaker 1: Seventy six is beat the Wizards, the Sons beat the Lakers,
- 21:20Speaker 1: the Hawks beat the Knicks, and the Grizzlies beat the Jazz.
- 21:23Speaker 1: Now let's get right into it what we're talking about. Man, Now,
- 21:26Speaker 1: this is really really hard to watch. M D'artavias Barnes.
- 21:30Speaker 1: He got stopped for our traffic stop and police officers.
- 21:33Speaker 1: And this was back in April twenty twenty that this happened.
- 21:36Speaker 1: They actually took his daughter's ashes, his two year old
- 21:39Speaker 1: daughters ashes out and said that it tested positive for math.
- 21:44Speaker 1: Listen to what happened was something awesome. The far too.
- 21:47Speaker 1: It's like molly or ecstasy crushed up. Now y'all tested
- 21:53Speaker 1: positive for math slash mdia Man, No, no, no, Bro,
- 21:57Speaker 1: that's my daughter when y'are doing Bro, there's my daughter,
- 21:59Speaker 1: bro doing that? Bro? You know you know me. Let
- 22:05Speaker 1: me talk to please give me my daughter, but pull
- 22:07Speaker 1: out her in my hand. Bro. Bro. So the test
- 22:10Speaker 1: kit like it did, look like it feels tested for
- 22:13Speaker 1: like that my daughter. Bro, I got you. I believe you. Man,
- 22:16Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it to your dad. Oh imagine that
- 22:21Speaker 1: he's handcuffed, He's trying to get to the URM with
- 22:23Speaker 1: his daughter's ashes and and His daughter was two years
- 22:26Speaker 1: old to Naja Barnes, and she died of neglecting starvation
- 22:29Speaker 1: inside the mom's home. So the mom was actually sentenced
- 22:32Speaker 1: to twenty years in prison after pleading guilty the first
- 22:35Speaker 1: degree murder, and her boyfriend also was convicted of first
- 22:38Speaker 1: degree murder and sentenced to thirty years. So imagine you
- 22:41Speaker 1: dealt with that tragedy and then you get pulled over
- 22:44Speaker 1: in the traffic stop and they take your two year
- 22:46Speaker 1: old daughter's ashes and lying say it tested positive. Just
- 22:51Speaker 1: trauma on top of trauma. Yep, that's what it is,
- 22:55Speaker 1: and that you got to be a real sociopath. As
- 22:57Speaker 1: a police officer did not even have any empathy for
- 22:59Speaker 1: him and watched the weather like why would he, like,
- 23:02Speaker 1: it's still give him a ticket? Like and you know
- 23:05Speaker 1: him right because they know the story, they know who
- 23:07Speaker 1: he is. And so they also spilled out the ashes
- 23:11Speaker 1: by the way, which you mean like they spilled out
- 23:14Speaker 1: some of the ashes. So now he's suing the Springfield
- 23:17Speaker 1: Police Department in federal court. He says the officers unselled
- 23:21Speaker 1: the arn opened the urn without his consent and without
- 23:23Speaker 1: a lawful basis, including a search warrant and then desecrated
- 23:26Speaker 1: and spilled out the ashes he should get and look
- 23:29Speaker 1: how nice he would still be into the officer after that.
- 23:31Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, He told the officers, thank you,
- 23:33Speaker 1: just like Lord have mercy boy all right now, President
- 23:36Speaker 1: Joe Biden is planning to meet with George Floyd's family
- 23:40Speaker 1: one year after his death. That's going to be tomorrow,
- 23:43Speaker 1: and they're gonna miss that deadline for passing police reform legislation.
- 23:47Speaker 1: But they don't want to just pass anything. They want
- 23:50Speaker 1: to make sure it's a very comprehensive bill in the family,
- 23:53Speaker 1: as Tamika Mallory, which he came on the show, said,
- 23:55Speaker 1: that's what the family would want also because they did
- 23:57Speaker 1: have this deadline to pass to George Floyd to some
- 24:00Speaker 1: policing Act which was originally introduced in June of twenty
- 24:03Speaker 1: twenty and passed by and passed by the House of
- 24:05Speaker 1: Representatives in March. But it's unlikely that they're going to
- 24:08Speaker 1: sign that legislation tomorrow. We don't need no symbolism, you
- 24:11Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. If you like, if you're not
- 24:13Speaker 1: gonna you know, get rid of qualified immunity and really
- 24:16Speaker 1: have something in there. Some some real teeth in there
- 24:18Speaker 1: that'll keep police officers from you know, brutalizing us. And
- 24:22Speaker 1: it's pointless. So I don't just don't just pass something
- 24:24Speaker 1: to say you did it just because it's the anniversary
- 24:26Speaker 1: of job or get right, that's just optics. No, you
- 24:28Speaker 1: don't want optics, you want actual substance. Well, yeah, so
- 24:31Speaker 1: they're not doing that, So that's the good news. They're
- 24:35Speaker 1: gonna actually work on making sure that it is something
- 24:38Speaker 1: that is much needed and not just pass anything with
- 24:41Speaker 1: very important things taken out of it. You can't do that,
- 24:44Speaker 1: all right. And there were a lot of shootings over
- 24:46Speaker 1: the weekend. I'm sure you guys saw that as a
- 24:47Speaker 1: man of fact. In Brooklyn. It was a helicopter flying
- 24:50Speaker 1: around because somebody I guess shot someone with a gun.
- 24:53Speaker 1: It was right down the block for me, so I
- 24:55Speaker 1: kept hearing that all night. And then two people were
- 24:57Speaker 1: killed and twelve injured in a shooting at a birthday
- 24:59Speaker 1: party New Jersey. So these two victims were aged thirty
- 25:03Speaker 1: and twenty five. They died at the scene. This was
- 25:05Speaker 1: in Fairfell Township. They both suffered fatal gunshot wounds and
- 25:09Speaker 1: were found at at the scene. Police have not identified
- 25:11Speaker 1: these victims by name. Also in South Carolina, there was
- 25:16Speaker 1: a teen girl killed and fourteen people injured in a
- 25:18Speaker 1: shooting at an illegal South Carolina concert. At a fourteen
- 25:21Speaker 1: year old girl was killed and at least fourteen other
- 25:23Speaker 1: people injured. Multiple gunmen opened fire into the crowded concert.
- 25:27Speaker 1: It was in a residential area of North Charleston at
- 25:30Speaker 1: about ten thirty pm and the Naughty Bay in North Charleston.
- 25:34Speaker 1: That's horrible. But if summertime though, so you know when
- 25:37Speaker 1: you talk about these heat waves and you talk about
- 25:38Speaker 1: things getting the eighties something degrees and ninety something degrees, yes,
- 25:42Speaker 1: we're fifty cent said in the hood summertimes, the killing season.
- 25:45Speaker 1: It's hot out this that's a good enough reason. Yeah,
- 25:49Speaker 1: all right, well that is your front page news, all right. Now,
- 25:52Speaker 1: when we come back, four two Doug will be joining us.
- 25:55Speaker 1: We'll kick it with him. If you don't know, he's

- 26:38Speaker 1: I feel like it's as far as somebody worked out.
- 26:41Speaker 1: I wonder what's the what's the science behind it? Like

- 26:46Speaker 1: it's a bunch of songs. Why they said it's a

- 31:09Speaker 1: you start with med? You start rhyming like you just
- 31:11Speaker 1: I was in the whole, like stressed out of that bit,
- 31:14Speaker 1: like the whole like you, well, you can come out
- 31:18Speaker 1: one hour after day. I was in there for like
- 31:21Speaker 1: sixty days straight. So that's very inhumane to play somebody
- 31:26Speaker 1: in the hole for sixty days. Shop they posted gave
- 31:29Speaker 1: me some money for that, like all the all the
- 31:32Speaker 1: youth offenders they sued the state. Everybody got money. But
- 31:36Speaker 1: I was already wrap you rapping before that? Or you
- 31:39Speaker 1: started rapping in prison? Like how did you learn? You know?
- 31:42Speaker 1: The sixteen bars? It was just straight rapping, Like how
- 31:45Speaker 1: did you learn nauset. I didn't know sixt I didn't
- 31:48Speaker 1: know none of us. You're trying to stay seen, Yeah,
- 31:53Speaker 1: rapping about being hungry like turn visible. I'm never stretched out.
- 32:01Speaker 1: So rapping was like, I'm just putting together. The ship
- 32:05Speaker 1: so weak. When I first heard it was so weak,
- 32:08Speaker 1: I threw the what was you rapping about? Like give
- 32:12Speaker 1: us an example? Like you know what I'm saying. So
- 32:17Speaker 1: they gave they give you penny pad in the whole. Okay, okay,
- 32:21Speaker 1: I don't think they give you a pad. They give you.
- 32:23Speaker 1: I was writing their on like my legal work, so
- 32:27Speaker 1: I write rapped on the back of my league work.
- 32:29Speaker 1: But it was so weak. I ripped this ship up.
- 32:33Speaker 1: But I ended up going back to the whole again
- 32:35Speaker 1: for for another little some bullshit, and then I fig
- 32:39Speaker 1: I figured out, like, yeah, when did you realize that
- 32:42Speaker 1: you had it? That it wasn't wasn't trash. When he
- 32:44Speaker 1: was like, oh no, I could do this my second
- 32:46Speaker 1: time in all my second time in the whole, I'm
- 32:49Speaker 1: like this stern stun. Okay, you remember the rap um dude. Yeah,
- 32:56Speaker 1: So it's a song called free Minds that I made,
- 33:00Speaker 1: and the rap I had was like if I had
- 33:03Speaker 1: it out of scene. You know it's out. Though I
- 33:05Speaker 1: ended up doing the song. I had up actually recording
- 33:08Speaker 1: one of my first songs. Yeah, I know the rap
- 33:10Speaker 1: though it was hard. I feel like you used to
- 33:13Speaker 1: get into a lot of fights in jail. Like people
- 33:14Speaker 1: probably used to try you because he because he inside.
- 33:17Speaker 1: I want to say, try me. But you know what
- 33:20Speaker 1: I'm saying. I was one of them uffs that always talking.
- 33:25Speaker 1: So you gotta put you gotta think. Put me in
- 33:28Speaker 1: that muffle, surrounded by people who got life thirty years.
- 33:32Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, I got four years. Damn.
- 33:35Speaker 1: You know what I'm coming from me down or like
- 33:39Speaker 1: me saying no, Like you know what I said about
- 33:42Speaker 1: putting in there, sat your head and that beach doing
- 33:45Speaker 1: all day. So you know what I'm saying. I got
- 33:48Speaker 1: a lot of that. But everybody, I knew a lot
- 33:50Speaker 1: of people, and I knew a lot of people in jail.
- 33:52Speaker 1: All right, we got more with four two Dug. When
- 33:54Speaker 1: we come back. It's the Breakfast Club, goodbody wanting. Everybody
- 33:57Speaker 1: is DJ Envy and lu Yee Charlomagne, the guy we
- 34:01Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with four
- 34:04Speaker 1: two Dug. I wasn't like just growing growing up in Detroit,
- 34:07Speaker 1: like you know, was just always was you always in
- 34:10Speaker 1: the street? Was it dice? Did you ever focus on
- 34:13Speaker 1: school or just what? So? I probably call my first
- 34:17Speaker 1: case at Twilve. You know what I'm saying, trying to
- 34:21Speaker 1: get your money back from the dude, Nah my fadder,
- 34:25Speaker 1: stolen car and man I saw the God I had
- 34:28Speaker 1: like bad look or something. I'm gonna I can't even
- 34:31Speaker 1: drag you feel. But all I knew it was the
- 34:34Speaker 1: keys was right there and a curse. So I'm like,
- 34:37Speaker 1: you know, I was cleaning up, so I'm like where
- 34:40Speaker 1: you don't even go to the back. He goes to
- 34:43Speaker 1: the back. I dass in his car, my dads and
- 34:46Speaker 1: his curse, and my mother looked so bad. Soon as
- 34:50Speaker 1: I bag about the car, police frowned at my You
- 34:55Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, why man was stolen too? As you, oh,
- 35:00Speaker 1: he stole it. I don't know who stolen. I thought
- 35:06Speaker 1: you were saying you stole his card. The cars already stolen. No,
- 35:08Speaker 1: I'm like, I mean his got you know what I'm saying.
- 35:11Speaker 1: So when they pull up, she was looking crazy. As
- 35:15Speaker 1: soon as they pull up and shout I like third
- 35:17Speaker 1: them on verse he hit the police car. When I
- 35:19Speaker 1: hit that bitch, I like rolled out of that bitch
- 35:21Speaker 1: like James Vonne, I was far instantly soon as I fall,
- 35:27Speaker 1: police hit me and my mother boom, taking you chilling.
- 35:32Speaker 1: So then I had a little cases car, stolen car,
- 35:36Speaker 1: pistel cake, you know what I'm saying like that, So
- 35:39Speaker 1: but it's still far growing up with me because we
- 35:41Speaker 1: did the city embrace you now Okay, yeah, yeah, what
- 35:46Speaker 1: is it like when you go back? Because the trade
- 35:47Speaker 1: has been the more like you know what I'm saying,
- 35:50Speaker 1: I put them though. If it was up to me,
- 35:54Speaker 1: I want to left. You know, but who who told
- 35:57Speaker 1: you to leave? Who told you that the move would
- 35:58Speaker 1: be to go to etail guy? He told me, My
- 36:03Speaker 1: lawyers told me, everybody, everybody like man, you need to
- 36:07Speaker 1: forget about this ship. But you know, work rise. It's
- 36:10Speaker 1: probably easier to be because if you're in Atlanta, there's
- 36:13Speaker 1: a lot of artists that recorded and work out there. Yeah,
- 36:15Speaker 1: for show, you show a bump it to a lot
- 36:18Speaker 1: of not a bumped it to a few different muff
- 36:20Speaker 1: So that's a good thing. But on the negative, satisfy
- 36:23Speaker 1: you don't know nobody match. Moving somewhere where you don't
- 36:27Speaker 1: know nobody. You can't really go outside and none of
- 36:30Speaker 1: that because you out of bomb, you can't go there
- 36:34Speaker 1: just be going on places you don't know who, area,
- 36:37Speaker 1: you don't know what's going on. So that's the only minus.
- 36:40Speaker 1: I don't cat about Atlantic because I don't know nobody.
- 36:43Speaker 1: I really can't hang you know, I ain't know inside
- 36:46Speaker 1: the house, muff. I'm gonna let's go have fun. Go.
- 36:50Speaker 1: Didn't have everything. That's for the best, right studio, Yeah,
- 36:55Speaker 1: it's got he is moving. It's moving a mandatory adjustment
- 36:58Speaker 1: when you're making you know that, that that transition from
- 37:01Speaker 1: the streets to the rap game. I once say it's
- 37:04Speaker 1: a mandatory thing. I still got cribs in Memphis, you
- 37:07Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But it's just a situation who
- 37:11Speaker 1: who you are, what you're doing, and what you was
- 37:14Speaker 1: doing before you were successful, you know what I'm saying.
- 37:17Speaker 1: So I relate to it going through because I had
- 37:20Speaker 1: the same issues in Memphis with the police, you know
- 37:22Speaker 1: what I'm saying. When they know you from a certain
- 37:25Speaker 1: life before you was successful in music, they don't never
- 37:29Speaker 1: forget that. Like even though you may start doing this,
- 37:31Speaker 1: they still look at you as this. So you know,
- 37:34Speaker 1: your your name just gonna be everything even happened really
- 37:38Speaker 1: around your way, you know what I mean. So anything
- 37:40Speaker 1: that happened around your way, they don't connect you to
- 37:43Speaker 1: or try to connect you to it, or feel like
- 37:45Speaker 1: you had something saying it or you know what I mean.
- 37:48Speaker 1: So I think for me that what I've seen happening
- 37:50Speaker 1: with a little bro, you know what I mean, like
- 37:53Speaker 1: a lot of you know, you know, we don't get
- 37:56Speaker 1: into it too much, but you know a lot of
- 37:58Speaker 1: things they were trying to legal. They were trying to
- 38:00Speaker 1: put them in like they did to the wrong Like
- 38:03Speaker 1: he wasn't even in Detroit. Like dam I'm saying, like
- 38:06Speaker 1: he wasn't even Detroit. And know what I mean, we
- 38:11Speaker 1: know he he was. That was show. So when we
- 38:15Speaker 1: started saying that happening and we like, bro, they on
- 38:18Speaker 1: they own you too. They own you too much like
- 38:21Speaker 1: they after you. I mean, like when they lie on
- 38:26Speaker 1: so when they get that's you know what I mean.
- 38:28Speaker 1: Police and like told told the judge, they sent me
- 38:33Speaker 1: like good. Police told the judge. They said, like y'all
- 38:36Speaker 1: didn't get no license or nothing, like no I identified
- 38:38Speaker 1: I'm as fortune dude, I know how how you look.
- 38:42Speaker 1: I know who he is. It was I'm not even
- 38:44Speaker 1: in Detroit, Damn, you know what I'm saying. So they
- 38:48Speaker 1: like took me like you know what I'm saying? Like crazy?
- 38:55Speaker 1: Does that make you have to think about your lyrics too,
- 38:56Speaker 1: because you know they'd be paying attention to what you're
- 38:58Speaker 1: saying songs? Yeah, ball really be one to say you
- 39:03Speaker 1: know what I'm saying because you know what I'm saying.
- 39:06Speaker 1: It shouldn't be like that. I don't know what I did.
- 39:09Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, what I'm doing, You know
- 39:12Speaker 1: what I'm saying. How y'all not focused on what I'm doing? Yeah,
- 39:16Speaker 1: that's what I ain't get. You know what I'm I'm like,
- 39:19Speaker 1: should be crazy to me? Like I just had a
- 39:22Speaker 1: court day about I can't lad on me and you
- 39:25Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. My lawyer like, I want to
- 39:27Speaker 1: go past the preliminary hearing, but I'm telling lawyer like, bro,
- 39:31Speaker 1: I need to hear him tell you. I want to
- 39:34Speaker 1: see him tell the judge he saw me. I need
- 39:38Speaker 1: to see that. I don't believe it, Like I don't
- 39:40Speaker 1: believe he said. I don't tell him. I don't believe
- 39:43Speaker 1: he said this. He like, Man, you know what I'm saying,
- 39:47Speaker 1: this is what's the best You beat the case story,
- 39:49Speaker 1: don't know and I was still fighting it. That says
- 39:52Speaker 1: that you even got to do with that if you
- 39:54Speaker 1: can't show that you wasn't even there. It's just because
- 39:56Speaker 1: it costs money, right to have to show that I
- 39:59Speaker 1: wasn't there. The head say show show for this day.
- 40:02Speaker 1: You know what I'm again, that gets the plan. Yeah,
- 40:05Speaker 1: they won't even tell you what data happened. They throw
- 40:09Speaker 1: three days out there like all right, and I proven
- 40:11Speaker 1: you was at four three d You know what I'm saying,
- 40:13Speaker 1: like that you fucked up their money, Doug, because you

- 40:18Speaker 1: city and empower so many other kids and keep them
- 40:21Speaker 1: from going to prison. That's what they gotta be about something.

- 49:57Speaker 1: Maybe that's a very random Uh, you just ignore vonn Or.
- 50:02Speaker 1: I'm thinking about he with to the cartograph his backpacking,
- 50:04Speaker 1: but I'm thinking he's of age with I'm like, damn,
- 50:06Speaker 1: he's only sixteen years old. That's which is crazy. Hold
- 50:09Speaker 1: you got to be the owner gun in Jordan twenty one. Oh, bros.
- 50:16Speaker 1: We don't know what it was that back then. That's
- 50:20Speaker 1: all I said. You said, you know, I didn't know
- 50:22Speaker 1: it was gonna I shouldn't even assume that. Why did
- 50:25Speaker 1: not even assume that? I don't know. I shouldn't have
- 50:28Speaker 1: assumed that they know you're absolutely read. I should not
- 50:30Speaker 1: have assumed that. All right, now, let's since we were
- 50:33Speaker 1: talking about Insecure Sex in the City, that reboot is
- 50:35Speaker 1: going to feature Mister Big, Aidan Shaw and Steve Brady.
- 50:39Speaker 1: When it was reported that the show was coming back
- 50:41Speaker 1: that reboot, they hadn't signed on mister Big and Steve
- 50:44Speaker 1: Brady yet to be part of that reboot. But now
- 50:46Speaker 1: they are going to be on there, so you know
- 50:48Speaker 1: that should be exciting. We also let you guys know
- 50:51Speaker 1: that Kim catral Ak Samantha will not be returning for
- 50:54Speaker 1: her role, so it was the fallout that she had
- 50:56Speaker 1: with her other co stars on there. I could give
- 50:59Speaker 1: a damn. We're gonna get us a girl Friends reboot? Okay,
- 51:02Speaker 1: when we're gonna get our girl Friends mini series? How
- 51:04Speaker 1: many sex in the City closures we don't get We
- 51:06Speaker 1: ain't had no closure for girl Friends yet, but we
- 51:08Speaker 1: don't have seven different closures for sex in the city. Bob,
- 51:11Speaker 1: mister big I wouldn't come back either. I'm like, what
- 51:12Speaker 1: else y'all need me to do? He is coming back? Oh,
- 51:15Speaker 1: never mind, I ain't even hear no, no, no, I'm not.
- 51:20Speaker 1: As soon as you started talking about sex in the
- 51:22Speaker 1: City again, don't we're here because I thought I thinking
- 51:23Speaker 1: about why we don't get more girlfriends? But whatever? All
- 51:26Speaker 1: right now, Lady Gaga was discussing on The Me You
- 51:30Speaker 1: Can't See, which is a new documentaries that's co created
- 51:32Speaker 1: by Prince Harry and Oprah and that is to tackle
- 51:36Speaker 1: the stigma of mental health. And here's what you had
- 51:39Speaker 1: to say about an incident that happened to her when
- 51:42Speaker 1: she was nineteen years old. As she said, she was
- 51:44Speaker 1: raped and left pregnant. First I felt full on pain.
- 51:49Speaker 1: Then I went numb, and then I was sick for
- 51:55Speaker 1: weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks after, and I
- 51:58Speaker 1: realized that it was the same pain that I felt
- 52:02Speaker 1: when the person who raped me dropped me off pregnant
- 52:05Speaker 1: on a corner my parents' health. Because I was vomiting,
- 52:11Speaker 1: because I'd been being abused, I was locked away in
- 52:13Speaker 1: a studio for once. He send an healing energy to
- 52:18Speaker 1: Lady Gaga, and she also won that name the person
- 52:22Speaker 1: who did this to her. Here's what she had to say.
- 52:24Speaker 1: A producer said to me, take your clothes off, and
- 52:28Speaker 1: I said no, and I left and they told me
- 52:32Speaker 1: they were going to burn all my music. They didn't
- 52:36Speaker 1: stop asking me, and then I just frozen. I just
- 52:40Speaker 1: I don't I don't even remember. I understand this mean
- 52:44Speaker 1: too movement. I understand that some people feel really comfortable
- 52:48Speaker 1: with this, and I do not. I do not ever
- 52:51Speaker 1: want to face that person again. M Lady Gaga. All right,
- 52:57Speaker 1: well that is your rumor report. All right, thank you,

- 53:49Speaker 1: of the day a little bit of a mic like
- 53:51Speaker 1: I'm don't now I've been called a lot of my
- 53:59Speaker 1: twenty three donkey wife. Donkey to day from Monday, May
- 54:06Speaker 1: twenty fourth goes to me. Leonard McKelvey. Contrary to popular belief,
- 54:11Speaker 1: this is not the first time I've given myself dunkey today.
- 54:13Speaker 1: Because Dunkey to day does not discriminate. I mean, I
- 54:16Speaker 1: may be kind of biased towards certain people, but I
- 54:19Speaker 1: don't have any bias when it comes to myself. If
- 54:21Speaker 1: I'm wrong, if something I do I say doesn't sit
- 54:24Speaker 1: right with my spirit, I have to apologize and do
- 54:26Speaker 1: better moving forward. And that's what I'm about to do
- 54:28Speaker 1: right now. I want to apologize the Kwame Brown and
- 54:32Speaker 1: Kwame Brown's family. I want to apologize to his father,
- 54:36Speaker 1: Bill Brown, and the family of his father. To see
- 54:38Speaker 1: last week on this radio and my attempt to defend
- 54:42Speaker 1: a Charleston, South Carolina born brother like myself, I revealed
- 54:45Speaker 1: too much information about that man's family. And even though
- 54:48Speaker 1: all that stuff is public record, some things just don't
- 54:50Speaker 1: need to be said on the radio, and they definitely
- 54:52Speaker 1: don't need to be said by me when I look back.
- 54:54Speaker 1: You know, on the way I communicated that, I communicated
- 54:57Speaker 1: it all wrong, and I unintentionally triggered drama and a
- 55:00Speaker 1: lot of folks I grew up with, who I genuinely love.
- 55:04Speaker 1: I'm sure I caused a lot of pain for not
- 55:05Speaker 1: only Kwame Brown, but for his family, especially his family
- 55:09Speaker 1: and my hometown amongst Corner, South Carolina. You know how
- 55:11Speaker 1: I know because I spoke to a few of them.
- 55:13Speaker 1: I've been on the phone this weekend with with with
- 55:15Speaker 1: mothers of children and their children. Salute to Shaliba and
- 55:19Speaker 1: her daughter Brianda. I was on the phone with sisters
- 55:23Speaker 1: like Wai let salute to wilet. Oh. She cursed me
- 55:26Speaker 1: out good. And you know, I was apologizing for triggering them,
- 55:28Speaker 1: causing them pain because I was casually discussing their family's trauma. Man,
- 55:33Speaker 1: And that's something that I have to stop doing. That's
- 55:35Speaker 1: something that we all have to stop doing. I was
- 55:37Speaker 1: talking to my sacred purpose Coachyadi yall. But this weekend,
- 55:40Speaker 1: she's like a spiritual therapist. I have her in my
- 55:42Speaker 1: clinical therapist, and that's what we were talking about, how
- 55:45Speaker 1: we casually discussed each other's traumas. I didn't even think
- 55:48Speaker 1: about when I spoke on you know, Kwame and his family,
- 55:51Speaker 1: how many people were impacted by those things I was
- 55:53Speaker 1: speaking on. I mean, that's that's generational. Okay. I caused
- 55:57Speaker 1: pain and unintentionally, unintentionally poked it. People was wounds, okay,
- 56:00Speaker 1: wounds that will probably never heal. And I can't take
- 56:03Speaker 1: back those words, but I can't apologize. You know, I
- 56:05Speaker 1: think oftentimes we meaning black people. We fight each other
- 56:08Speaker 1: with our demons, whether true or false, whatever is the
- 56:11Speaker 1: worst thing we know about a person or think we
- 56:13Speaker 1: think we know about the person. We defaulted that and
- 56:15Speaker 1: that was not my intention. I was not in any way,
- 56:17Speaker 1: shape or for him trying to paint Kwame in a
- 56:20Speaker 1: negative light. Okay, that black man is not my op.
- 56:22Speaker 1: He wasn't my op when I said it. In my mind,
- 56:24Speaker 1: I'm defending that man, but I should have been defending
- 56:27Speaker 1: him as Leonard Charlemagne, the god McKelvey, the professional, and
- 56:30Speaker 1: not Leonard Larry whatever you want to call me from
- 56:32Speaker 1: Monks Corner, South Carolina, talking like I'm home in the
- 56:35Speaker 1: town on why I believe they need to leave Kwame
- 56:37Speaker 1: Brown alone. That was whack because the conversation didn't even
- 56:40Speaker 1: have to go there. The conversation should have been about basketball. Yes,
- 56:42Speaker 1: leave Kwame Brown alone because he achieved the goal in
- 56:45Speaker 1: a dream that one point three percent of NCUBAA seniors
- 56:49Speaker 1: will achieve an o point oz three percent of high
- 56:51Speaker 1: school seniors. You know what a smaller number that is.
- 56:54Speaker 1: And you know just that's just simply being drafted in
- 56:56Speaker 1: the NBA. If you played thirteen seasons and make sixty
- 56:58Speaker 1: five million dollars your success. Okay, if you work thirteen
- 57:02Speaker 1: years anywhere and make that kind of money, you a
- 57:04Speaker 1: success or salute to that man. The only expectations we
- 57:07Speaker 1: have to live up to is our own. That's why
- 57:09Speaker 1: I always say success is subjective. Okay, my views of
- 57:12Speaker 1: success may be different than yours. As long as you're happy,
- 57:15Speaker 1: that's all that matters. But we didn't even get into
- 57:17Speaker 1: that conversation because my mind automatically went to something that
- 57:20Speaker 1: didn't that it didn't even have to go to, and
- 57:23Speaker 1: doing that, I unintentionally caused trauma. And since I unintentionally
- 57:27Speaker 1: caused trauma, I have to be intentional about causing healing.
- 57:30Speaker 1: I'm not about to sit around and have beef with
- 57:32Speaker 1: another black man for nothing. And trust me, as y'all know,
- 57:35Speaker 1: I have a lot of real enemies who are gunning
- 57:37Speaker 1: for me every day. Kwame Brown is not going to
- 57:39Speaker 1: be one of them. Okay, I totally understand why Kalme
- 57:42Speaker 1: Brown was upset at me. I went low. That wasn't
- 57:45Speaker 1: my intention, but in hindsight, it was low and Kwame
- 57:48Speaker 1: took it to the floor with me, and y'all be
- 57:50Speaker 1: online so excited ready to see black people go back
- 57:52Speaker 1: and forth and tear each other down. I'm not doing that.
- 57:55Speaker 1: I'm not going back and forth. If I feel like
- 57:57Speaker 1: I wronged somebody, I'm going to apologize. That's what I
- 57:59Speaker 1: think a good man does. A good man apologizes for
- 58:02Speaker 1: the mistakes you know that he made, but a great
- 58:04Speaker 1: man corrects him. Hopefully I get the opportunity to do
- 58:07Speaker 1: that one day, but for now, I just apologize. And
- 58:09Speaker 1: I'm not beefing with a black man who's born while
- 58:11Speaker 1: I was born and has family where I'm from. There's
- 58:13Speaker 1: nothing on this planet that I love more than God,
- 58:16Speaker 1: my family in Monk's Corner, South Carolina, the whole Low
- 58:18Speaker 1: Country to eight four three, drop on a clues bonn
- 58:20Speaker 1: for to day forty three. Okay. So when I say
- 58:23Speaker 1: I sincerely apologize the Kame Brown and his family and
- 58:26Speaker 1: the family of Bill Brown and Monk's Corner, I mean
- 58:29Speaker 1: that the only thing I'm responsible for is my energy
- 58:32Speaker 1: in recognizing my own insanity. And Eckartt once said, to
- 58:36Speaker 1: recognize one's own insanity is, of course the arising of sanity,
- 58:40Speaker 1: the beginning of healing and transcendence. I truly believe if
- 58:45Speaker 1: trauma can be passed down through generations. Then so can
- 58:48Speaker 1: healing me. Leonard McKelvey. I have never claimed to be perfect.
- 58:53Speaker 1: In fact, I'm far from it. I'm not gonna always
- 58:55Speaker 1: get it right. The same things people listen to me
- 58:57Speaker 1: for is the same things they hate me for because
- 58:59Speaker 1: I too much. I overshare. I overshare about myself, I
- 59:02Speaker 1: overshare about others, and that has historically got me in trouble.
- 59:05Speaker 1: Who we are all works in progress, and one of
- 59:07Speaker 1: the most healing things you can do is recognize where
- 59:10Speaker 1: in your life you are your own poison. And last
- 59:13Speaker 1: week I was poisoned the Kame Brown, Bill Brown and
- 59:16Speaker 1: their families. For that, I sincerely apologize. Please let remy
- 59:21Speaker 1: ma give me Leonard McKelvey, Charlemagne, the God, the biggest
- 59:25Speaker 1: he hare heeha heh, you stupid mother? Are you dumb? Yes? Indeed,
- 59:32Speaker 1: meeting I am dumb at times I didn't ask you
- 59:36Speaker 1: drama all right? Well up next, Doctor Rita walk Away
- 59:42Speaker 1: kicking with doctor Rita Walker when we come back. This
- 59:45Speaker 1: is actually a great segue because you know I always
- 59:47Speaker 1: give out the book The Unapologetic Guy, The Black Mental
- 59:49Speaker 1: Health by doctor Rita Walker. It's one of my favorite
- 59:51Speaker 1: books of the last couple of years, and I can't
- 59:54Speaker 1: wait to discuss with her. All right, we'll get into that.
- 59:56Speaker 1: Next is to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning.
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy and Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: joining us this morning, doctor Rita Walker. She is the
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: author of The Unapologetic Guy, The Black Mental Health and
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: it is Mental Health Awareness Month, so we couldn't ask
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: for a better guest. Good morning, doctor Walker, Charlomagne, how
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: you doing it? I am blessed, black and highly favored,
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: and I'm about to ask you the same question, but
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: I need an honest answer. Okay, how are you? I'm good.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: I would put my PF my psychological fortitude rating it
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: about a seven and a half. Okay, wow, why is
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: it like that this morning? Just because it's in the
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: semester grades are done. My dog is behaving and I
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: can't complain. I really just can't complain. Absolutely, I'm glad
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: to hear that. Well, you know it is. It is
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: mental Health Awareness Month, and I have a lot of
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: different questions I want to ask, you know, number one
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: in the pandemic. I don't think none of us are
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: the same as we were before the pandemic. How do
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: you think the pandemic moving forward will affect our social skills?
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: Because I feel a little bit awkward when I'm out
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: and around a lot of people, more so than usual.
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: How do you think it will impact our social skills?
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: First and foremost, everybody has to be aware of how
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: they're feeling about it, you know, and how they're feeling
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: about being out in public and interacting with folks. We
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: had our first birthday party this weekend and folks ask,
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: and I appreciate it, like are you hugging? You know,
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: what are you doing? And I had to be comfortable
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: saying like, yeah, I'm not really ready to hug right now,
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: and we have to be honest about that. And I
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: get it, you know, there's a lot of pressure, and
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: also you want to hug people, right like, we haven't
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: seen a lot of folks in a long time, and
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: we want to connect, but we have to be aware
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: and just honor, you know, our own feelings and our
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: own anxieties about what it means to connect with other
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: people right now. You know, I think the pandemic made
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: people see themselves for the first time, and a lot
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: of folks have feelings they may not have had before.
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: So the depression and the anxiety, they got it, but
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: they don't really know what it is. How can people
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: identify those illnesses in themselves and maybe in others? Well,
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: you know, I try to talk about that in the
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: book because in a lot of ways, we normalize mental
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: health issues, so we somehow figure out how to navigate
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: overwhelming anxiety and depression in a way that we couldn't
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: hide from it when we were in the pandemic. Basically,
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: and any individual, I will always say, if there is
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: something about your level of worry or your level of
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: not being interested in being bothered with people impacts your
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: day to day life and your happiness, then there's probably
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: time to at least get an assessment. So whenever people
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: talk to a mental health professional they think, well, that
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: means I'm crazy, and so I need somebody to help
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: me with my crazy. Well, it starts with an assessment
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: and that individual being able to say, Okay, tell me
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: how you're doing with this or is this problem showing
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: up in different situations in your life with different relationships,
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: and is it out of proportion to what? And so
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: maybe other people have said like, yeah, that thing that
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: you do right there, like it's problematic, and they help
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: you evaluate how much of the issue is actually a
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: problem for you or is it just something that's if
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: you syncratic to you, like just part of who you are.
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: Because you know, we can't all be the same. How
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: do you deal with someone who you know is like Okay,
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: they clearly need to get some professional help, but they
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: don't see it. I smile, Angela. You know, that's the
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: number one question that I get. And the short answer, unfortunately,
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: is that is that you can't. I'll give you the
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: reverse scenario. Imagine that there's something that you're doing and
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: somebody's saying to you like you need to get help
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: for that, You need to stop that, like are you
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: trying to hear them? Oftentimes no, and you feel like, well,
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: they don't know me, they don't know my life. Like
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: we come up with reasons, and so I think the
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: bridge in there is to say to that person, I'm
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: concerned about filling a blank and then say, you know,
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: I am here for you to support you. If it's
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: something that you want to talk about, you know, maybe
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: it's something that you want to get some help with
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: I am here for you, so that they don't feel
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: put upon and that they really do get that you
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: you're coming to them from a loving and caring place
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: rather than being judgmental, which we can do oftentimes, you know,
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: but we're not judging or people hear it is judgment
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: And what you want them to hear is that you
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: care and your concern and you want to support them
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: wherever they are, Doctor Walker, What if it's something that's
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: like serious though, like you feel like they need medical
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: I mean, and I hate to even say someone quote
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: needs medication, but like a real serious thing where you
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: feel like you know they're upside to two downs and
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: they're coming up with speos in their head. It could
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: even be as serious. We're not I'm not a doctor,
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: but it could be schizophrenia, it could be bipolar disorder
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: and that person really needs help and you're scared that
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: they might harm themselves, like in this country, what can
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: you do for somebody that if they're not trying to
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: seek that help and they don't see it, but you
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: know it's a real medical concern. Well, you said something
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: that was important in there, and that is that person
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: is a harm or danger to themselves, or maybe they're
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: a danger to someone, and that's a different level of
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: intervention that is calling for, And especially when they're in
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: the place of crisis, like you feel like they're in crisis,
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: or at any moment, they could be in crisis and
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: they might not be here tomorrow. If you don't intervene
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: at that point, you actually have to call emergency services.
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: And I pause it that I got to tell you
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: because I know that emergency folks don't always know how
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: to deal with mental health issues and crises, especially in
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: our community. But at the same time, that's about the
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: only thing that you can do because you can't intervene,
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: like you don't have the physical willpower or you don't
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: have what it takes to be able to maybe restrain them.
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: But if you have concerns about them being in crisis,
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: then you have to call it nine one one, let
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: them know the circumstances, make sure you're there, make sure
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: someone else is present to protect that individual. But short
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: of that, short of them being in crisis, you have
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: to be diligent. Go check on them every day, tell
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: them what your concerns are, tell them that you think
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: that if they keep doing X, Y, and z your fear.
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: You have to share your fears because we have to
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: make ourselves well right when we're trying to help other people.
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: Sometimes we have to say, my fear is that you
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: might not be here tomorrow if we don't do something different.
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: And until that person gets to that place where they say,
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: you know what I hear you, then you're not going
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: to be able to convince them to do anything differently.
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: And I know it's I know it's hard to hear
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: because there's so many people struggling, but they need to
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: know that you care about them first and foremost before
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: they can make any change for themselves. I lost two
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: friends to suicide last year. And even when you you know,
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: you make those calls to the nine one one and
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: say you need a well fed check, like you know,
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: I had a nine one one operator tell me that
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: they can't do a well fed check because the person
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: hasn't harmed anyone and they haven't harmed themselves. And then
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: you know, a month or so later, you know, you
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: find out that you know your friend completed suicide. So
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: what are you doing situations like that? I mean, I'm
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: sorry to hear about that, to be honest, And because
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: what it says to me, is that the person that
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: you spoke to was not well trained. Because when you
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: call for help for a welfare check, the person who's
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: on the other end of that call needs to be
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: able to respond and not say, well, they haven't harmed
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: themselves yet. The purpose of a welfare check is to
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: make sure that that person does not absolutely themselves. And
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: as you know, that's one of the reasons why we
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: have to get the word out even more so that
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: there is better training around suicide prevention. A lot of
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: mental health professionals, I think you know that Charlomagne aren't
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: well trained around managing suicide risk and suicide vulnerability, and
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: so we have a lot of work to do around
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: mental health crisis among mental health professionals and in the
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: public putting everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: guy we are the Breakfast club was still kicking to
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: a doctor Rita Walker, Charlomagne, how do we protect the
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: mental health of people who've lost loved ones to suicide,
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: especially if you found the body like I hear a
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: lot of those conversations. I've got friends who found the
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: body of their sibling. You know, things like that, that's
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: traumatic full style, and those individuals have to get help,
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: they have to process with someone else, and even if
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: they didn't find the person themselves, you know, the level
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: of guilt that goes on top of the grief, it's overwhelming.
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: And I know, you know, people are strong, you know,
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: we're resilient, but sometimes we don't heal in ways that
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: are most helpful. So if someone breaks their leg, eventually
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: that might heal on its own, but there's going to
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: be consequences of them not getting you know, using crutches
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: or maybe not getting a cast. And it's the same
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: for our psychological health and well being that sometimes we
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: need someone to help us adjust and refrain things so
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: that we can come out of that traumatizing experience, you know,
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: in the best psychological health that we can, recognizing that
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: those individuals may continue for years to struggle and deal
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: with the trauma, the grief, the guilt, And that's the
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: part that is the most challenging, is the guilt that
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: is overlaying on top of the grief. You know, you know,
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: I got friends who lost parents you know recently. Is
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: I wonder, is grief counseling something everyone should get and
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: how do you know if you if you absolutely need
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: grief counseling because you know, of course you're going to
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: be sad if your parent dies, But how do you
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: know if you need to go talk to somebody about it?
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: You know, as someone who lost my dad at a
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: relatively young age, my dad died on a day before
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: my twenty ninth birthday. Wow, I recommend that everyone either
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: go to a support group or get some grief counseling
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: so that we can help navigate our way through the grief.
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: In our society, we kind of rushed through grief and
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: that's why, you know, we rushed through it. Like you know,
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: after the funeral, we think, were you good? Right? You know,
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: I'm all right? But there's so much more to grief
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: than that. In West African countries, folks grief for a year,
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: Like there is a structured grief process for a full year.
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: Because I think that what oftentimes will happen is folks
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: will have this moment like six months later and they're
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: crying and they're like that came out of nowhere, what
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: just happened? And they think something's wrong them. It's like, no,
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: that's grief. Now, there is a thing that is complicated grief.
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: That if someone is still overwhelmed and struggling with grief, say,
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: you know, several years after the loss, then they definitely
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: want to get help if they didn't get any at
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: the time of the loss or shortly thereafter. What do
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: you think some of the mental illnesses are that are
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: often found in the black community that we rarely discuss
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: all of them. No, So the most common or the
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: two most common types of psychological disorders are anxiety related
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: problems and depression. And interestingly, anxiety is more common than depression.
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: And the thing is, we can't ignore the impact of
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: racism because it has made us more hyper vigilant. And
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: hyper vigilance is connected to anxiety, the notion that we're
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: always trying to figure out like, Okay, what do I
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: need to do to stay safe? What do I need
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: to do to get this promotion? You know, what do
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: I need to do to another like I'm stealing something
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: in a store? Like all of that stuff raises our
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: hyper vigilance, and so we're always trying to figure out, like, Okay,
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: what's going on, what are they thinking? What do I
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: need to do? How do I adjust? And that raises
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: our anxiety. But the anxiety that we carry with us
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: can be problematic because it's also related to our health.
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: You know, we have this unchecked hypertension, high blood pressure,
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: and all these kinds of issues. It's related a lot
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: of times to our anxiety. It's not all anxiety, but
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: some of it is. And then just the depression. You know,
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: we like to talk about black boy joy. You know,
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: we can need a lot more joy, but we don't
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: get to have, you know, the kind of care free
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: lives that the folks live because we're managing so much,
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: and it makes us have a low level of depression
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: that we oftentimes just aren't aware of. I agree with
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: you on all of those. Another one I think is schizophrenia.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: I think paranoid schizophrenia is something that I've lost people
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: because of. And I know that even in that person's family,
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: it's people in their family who had a history of
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: paranoid schizophrenia. That's the one that I have no on
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: how to deal with. So schizophrenia is challenging. We think
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: about schizophrenia, it is a disconnection from reality, you know,
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: and people have you know, they hear things that aren't there,
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: they see things that aren't there. And they're just disconnected
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: from the world around them. They live in their own world.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: But some of those symptoms actually show up in bipolar disorder.
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: So people who have untreated and unmanaged bipolar disorder can
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: also look schizophrenic. And unfortunately, black people actually overdiagnosed with
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: schizophrenia when it's bipolar disorder. And so that's why I
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: pause with that, because you know, schizophrenia, it's one of
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: those things we associate with being crazy, right, and so
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: that's why we don't get mental healthcare because we're like, well,
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: I'm not crazy. I don't have schizophrenia, you know, I
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: don't hear voices. Mental health is so much more than that,
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: as you know. So with that being said, we do
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: have schizophrenia. It is a legitimate diagnosis. And when the
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: symptoms start to show up, so for black men it
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: can be late teens, early twenties. For black women, the
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: symptoms and science start to show up a little bit later,
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: like mid twenties. You know, we have to get help
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: as soon as we can so that the prognosis in
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: the person's ability to manage their schizophrenia is better somebody
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: who's in their forties and fifties, you know, right now
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: trying to manage schizophrenia. It's better than waiting until they're seventy,
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: but we still want to treat them as soon as
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: possible because they can learn skills. There really are skills
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: that people can learn to manage that, you know, and
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: being able to identify stressors because stress can trigger a
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: schizophrenic or disconnection from reality and we have to be
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: aware of those. How do we show up for the
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: families of the people, are friends of the people diagnosed
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: with mental illness, the people who have to deal with
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: the person who schizophrenic or bipolar, has anxiety or depression.
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: How do we show up for those people? We need
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: a lot of support. And one of the places will
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: I always direct folks too is NAMI, so National Association
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: for Mental Illness, because they have support groups where Emily's learn,
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: you know, skills, learn how to manage their own mental health.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: Because someone who's having to provide support or family member
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: who's providing support for someone else who's dealing with mental
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: health challenges, those individuals can struggle too. I think that's
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: why you ask the question, and so you know, whenever
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: we can give them breaks and say, hey, you know,
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: what do you need to run an errand because they're
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: providing NonStop care. Can I be there for you when
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: you're running an errand? Maybe I can go sit with
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: your family member, you know, maybe I can run the
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: errand for you, like providing practical support. Man. And I
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: know you got to go to this My last question,
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: and I always like to ask this. Do we ever
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: get to a place of true healing and the wholeness?
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: I think that we will get there when we start
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: to connect with who we are and our cultural identity,
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: because once we do that, then we connect with one another,
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: and then we start to build what we need. That
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: as long as we're waiting, you know, to get permission
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: to be who we are, or to get permission to
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: infiltrate some of these systems that have never wanted us
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: to be a part of them. If we keep waiting
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: for that, we're not going to get there. But when
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: we can start, you know, we'll stop being suspicious of
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: one another, you know, start to trust one another, build community,
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: connect with who we are. Then we will be able
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: to prosper and be successful. I don't think it can
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: happen before then. Her name is doctor Rita Walker. Doctor Walker.
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: Give them your Instagrams and Twitters and all that good stuff.
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: Please absolutely so, doctor Rita Walker, and let me spell

- 1:15:36Speaker 1: on YouTube. I try to post videos to help folks,
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: you know, manage stress and to understand racism and assess
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: psychological and fortitude so that we can, in fact get
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: to a place where we're live in our best lives.
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: That's right. And the book is called The Unapologetic Guide
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: to Black Mental Health. You know, I bought a bunch

- 1:16:19Speaker 1: heart how well the book has done and it's in

- 1:18:37Speaker 1: has also joined Timberland's Beat Club, which is a new
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: online marketplace for beats, and Timberland posted this video with
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: Jacole discussing the getting a track from Timberland and how
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: difficult it was and Twitch and all of that. Sometimes
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: I hit somebody for a beating in ground and not
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: doing nothing, So I'm like, I can't do that at Timan,
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: you know, I mean, let me at least like so
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: I looped up the YouTube Little Rip made a whole
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: song on I spent the next two days like writing
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: and recording the song, and like, right when I was
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: like ninety to sent through writing it, I'm like, I
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: should probably call him now get the real files. And
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: I hit him. I'm like, broken, you sent me to
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: be he played on Twitch. He was like, yeah, I
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: sent it to you? Which one? And I played in
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: the being He was like, I can't sing now. I
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: was like, what the you know what I mean? Like,
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: so he had to remake it. Wow, Timbo's legenius, So
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: I'm sure that was nothing to him. Once he heard it,
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: he could play it back. I know that's dope though,
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: And that song was amory for if you guys didn't
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: know already, all right, And Kodak Black is not excited
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: about his first week numbers, and apparently he sold twenty
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: two thousand first week, and he went on social media
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: to respond to that. He said, me dropping the same
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: day as Nikki and j Cole is not an excuse
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: for me, because I'm as big an artist as them.
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: I used to sell one hundred thousand first week, et cetera.
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: But along the way the game turned gay, even though
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: I get to singing the bees. I signed up for
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: gangster rap, not the speakaboo ass ish where good hearted
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: real individuals. Of course, to hide this support for you
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: in public, oh, drop on a clues ball for Kodak
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: Black Man yak is yak man Loo. I was not
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: expecting that. I didn't know what. I didn't know what
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: turned you was about to say. I thought he was
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: just holding himself accountable. But no Jesus Christ. But he
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: said he still feels great. He's still a multi millionaire,
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: but lots of records sold, and that's without support from
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: Spotify and major platforms. He said, Elia not even shade room,
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: all right, And Uncle Luke is calling out the rock
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: and Roll Hall of Fame because he still has not
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: been inducted. He went on social media. He went on
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: Instagram and said, it's another year of not getting inducted
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He deserves it,
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: like like, Luke is the reason that we can speak
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: the way that we speak. Like the whole parental advisory
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: stickers on albums, you know, are just fighting back against censorship.
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: That was Luke. Luke was fighting back against cancel outrage
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: culture before it was the thing. So yes, he still
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: be playing his music today. Okay, I just hate the
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I wish he was
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: just a music Hall of Fame, Like I hate the
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: fact that they have a genre of music on it.
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: I love the fact that we got the well hopefully
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: open and soon the Hip Hop Museum out in the Bronx,
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: so some of us ground. But I'm sure it's gonna
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: take a little while. Yeah, but I'm excited for that
