  Speaker 1: The donkey. Yeah, it's dunkey today for Tuesday, August thirty.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: If goes the little pump, a little pump is a rapper,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and I'm not here to slant the little pump. I'm
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: here to talk to the young man this morning, because
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: this dunk here today isn't just an indictment a little pump.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: He's just the latest in a long line of folks
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: who for some reason like to downplay with other people
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: are going through mentally all right, if you haven't heard
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the good brother Russ drop on a clue the bomb
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: for us, I respect that young man. To me, he
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: represents everything that's right. I love what that man stands for.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And he's announced that he's canceling his European tour to
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: take a mental health break. Salute to us. Okay, because
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: there was the time when the conversation around mental health
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: was so stigmatized that people couldn't be open about their
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: mental health issues, like you would have to make up
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: all types of silly stuff lying to get out of things,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: because we couldn't just say, hey man, you know, mentally
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be able to do it all right,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: whether it's anxiety, depression, grief, whatever it is, that's uh,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you know, keeping you from showing up to be yourself.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: We were afraid to just say that. But now we've
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: gotten to a beautiful point in our society where when
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: folks feel mentally exhausted, they can just say they're mentally exhausted,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and I, for one respected and appreciate it. To when
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: folks like Rusting Now if they are pulling out of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: something for mental health reasons, that someone who deals with
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: their own you know, anxiety and about to depression and grief,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I overstand, you know why he's pulling out of his
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: European tour. So it really bothers me when folks like
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a little Pump makes statements like this, you got mental
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: health issues. I'm from day County, Ditch, I was born
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: mental health issues. How about you? You You can deal with
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: this stop and you know damn or who I'm talking to. Boy,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: You guys just canceled the whole Europe to our bitch stuff, canceling,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: pulping the plan and go through your shows, little Pump,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: that's corney as hell. Okay, number one, I'm sick of
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: people using the P word as an insult. All right,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: how do you insult someone by calling them something that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: so many people enjoy a right not to mention, there's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: nothing weak about a vagina, sir. In fact, they should
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: make tires out of the same material as vagina walls.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: You would never need a new tire. Okay, they would
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: be the most durable wheels on the planet. But I digress.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: What I'm really sick of is people trying to downplay
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: with other humans are going through mentally. How do you
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: know what Russ is feeling on the inside? Not to mention, Pump,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I heard you say that you from Florida and you've
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: been dealing with mental health issues your whole life. You know,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: your uncle Sharla agrees with that, because the craziest people
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: in America come from the Bronx and all the Florida.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: But I would love to know, Pump, how exactly are
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you dealing with those mental health issues? Huh that you
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: say you're dealing with because you're probably dealing with them
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the same way a lot of us used to by
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: suppressing them. Okay, by staying busy. Oh you didn't know
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: staying busy as a trauma response. Huh? I know, I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: know you find relief in your work you find relief
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that studio. Well, guess what most symptoms of PTSD reflect
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: someone who is capable of functioning in the world as
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: long as they remain stimulated, because you are afraid of
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: what will happen when you stop moving. For pumping anyone
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: else who wants to downplay what people are going through
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in regard to their mental health. When you stop suppressing
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: your emotions and numbing yourself with drugs and alcohol or
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: you know, staying busy, watch what happens to you, Okay,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: when you have a complete mental and emotional breakdown because
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you've just been running, running and running, pushing, pushing, pushing,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: not stopping to deal with anything, watch what happens. I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: guarantee you it's just gonna be a wham. You're gonna
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: hit that wall. And guess what, when you hit that wall,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the only thing you're gonna be able to do is
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: lean on that wall and rest. Sometimes walls are there
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: so we can lean on them and rest. That's why
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: we hit them. Okay. I just want all of us
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to be more compassionate when it comes to people who
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: deal with mental health issues, because it's hard enough trying
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to explain something that you don't fully understand. And if
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you are person that doesn't fully understand it, just be quiet, okay,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: because I guarantee, little Pump, at some point you are
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: going to be dealing with something in your head that
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you don't quite understand. And it's not until we are
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: lost that we begin to understand ourselves. And Pump, when
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you get lost, we will be here to help you
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: find your way okay, when you need it. But in
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the meantime, please understand the best way to keep your
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: peace of mind is to not disturb the peace of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: mind of others. Please give a little Pump the biggest
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: see hall please all right, I just don't understand it,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Like I'm just why when somebody says they have to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: pull out of something because of mental health issues, somebody
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: has to come out and say that has to come
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: out and call bs on it. Well, why let's open
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: up the full lines eight hundred five, eight five one
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: or five one? When people say mental health, do you
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: do you agree? Do you believe you? We do understand that.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: You know, the conversation around mental health had been stigmatized,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you know, for so long, and I hear people say
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: things like, oh, you know, people are just you know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: talking about this stuff so much now because it's trendy.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Are maybe because people have the confidence to speak about
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it now because so many people are talking about it now.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I get it, but it but it is a It
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: is a line, right. And the reason I say it's
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a line because you know, when somebody commits a crime,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: somebody does something and they get caught, the first thing
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: they say is it's mental health related. And sometimes I don't,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I don't necessarily, but it probably is. But that don't
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: mean that they get they don't have to deal with
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the consequence of their actions, right. But sometimes I and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: it's just me thinking, sometimes I think it's bullcrap. How
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: you got to go to the extreme? Though I ain't
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: talking about but I'm talking about stuff like rus But
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just pulling out of things. But I'm
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: just telling it's it's an excuse that I feel that
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: people use, and I feel like when people are really
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: going through it, people don't believe it because I feel
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: sometimes people use it as an excuse. So when people
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: are really going through it and they talk about it,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: people don't believe them either. So what the hell a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to do? When you're talking about the line.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean, I'm damned if I do,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: damned if I don't. If I talk about it, then
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you're just using as an excuse could pull out of
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: your tour. All you just don't want to fight, you
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. But if I don't say anything
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and I just pushed through and I don't and I
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: show up and I'm not my best self and I
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: project all this negativity on the people whose fault is
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: again say this is gonna sell foul. It's gonna sell foul.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: But well, shut up there, No I'm not. But if
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go to work, what's the easy
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: exxcuse that nobody really can check. What's the reason you're
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: not going to work? I have mental health mental mental
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: health issues. But what if it's really got exactly And
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't after my point, you shouldn't have to because
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: some things are out of our realm of understanding. Like
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: it's hard enough to try to explain something that you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: don't even fully understand yourself. You know, you just wake
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: up some days and you're like, yeah, I don't want
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to show up. When when you was in that damn
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: when they had to check your ass into the hospital
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and you was in there with the little robe on,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: with your ass out, and you escape to go DJ
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: in the club. Wasn't you going through something mentally in
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: them emotionally? What did you just say? My ass out?
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: See you see that's the first thing you said. You
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: could have just said I was stuck in the thing
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: with a rollball, but you said that's what you said.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: You escaped the hospital, bro, you had the hospital galling on?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Was you not in the club with your ass out?
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Who was not in the club? Did you not escape
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the hospital with your ass out? No? My ass was it?
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: How do we get to ask we're talking about breast story.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I'm sick of y'all acting like people who dealing with
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: mental health issues are lying. I'm tired of it. I mean, like,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: why do y'all do this? Let's let's talk about it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred five A five one on five one. I'm
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: just saying, before the excuse you go, always say your kid,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: my kid is sick. You ain't gotta go somewhere, nobody
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: gonna check. Why would you lie on your kids? Most
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: people do that a lot of people do that. Now,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: as you say mental health, there's no question. You can't
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: ask what what's mentally wrong with you? What are you
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: thinking about? What are you going through? You just gotta
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: get none of your business. That's right. Give me my
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: goddamn space, back back, give me sixty feet eight hundred
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: five eight five one five one lets it was with COVID.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club co Morning. The Breakfast
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Club kid to Day is brought to you by the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: law office of Michaels, Lamb and Salt. This is not
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a nightheart radio contest. It's a paid advertisement by a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Resort Save with the purpose of the listening sales of
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: vacation ownership. Some terms of conditions applying airfare not included.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: If you want to go on a family vacation to Orlando,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas or Camcoon Resort Save is giving away a
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: magical getaway for just two ninety nine to the first
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: callers that can name an animal that lays eggs and
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: it's not a bird. Do you know it's an animal
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: that lays eggs and is not a bird? Call now
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: eight hundred two O eight O four one four eight
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: hundred two O eight four one four. If you're between
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the first twenty callars. You also get a Bahamas cruise
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and don't worry about COVID ruining your trauma. They're lying
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: or they need to suck it up, you know, they're
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: just scared. They need to push through. Do you realize
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: pushing through is what has caused that person to hit
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the wall? You know what I mean, They've probably been
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: pushing through their whole life. You know, staying busy, which
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: is which is a response to trauma. That's what staying
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: busy is a response to trauma because when you stop
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: for that moment, you gotta deal with all the things
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you've been running from. That's why COVID was such a
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: eye open up for so many people, and it made
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: so many people start sitting down and go talk to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: therapists and whatnot. Because COVID made us be still for
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the first time, and a lot of us didn't like
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: what we saw. Yeah, no, I get it, and I
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: do believe people do have mental issues. But I also
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: feel like people use it as an excuse. I feel
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: like it's in an easy excuse to use because it's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: something that can't be checked. It can't it can't be verified.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: It's just something within yourself. And I feel like people
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: tend to use it. Let me ask a simple question,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: who are we to say, hey, this person's lying about
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: what they're going through mentally, what they're going through emotionally,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: How the hell do we know? And I know that
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: if somebody like Russ is walking away from millions of dollars,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: that's the thing. Like Russ isn't hurting anybody, nobody, correct.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: The only person that's gonna suffer in this situation is Russ.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: He's walking away. If he's walking away from millions of
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: dollars for whatever reason, you already got to sold out
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: European tour. That lets me know clearly there's something wrong.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And I salute Russ that you know he's able to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: articulate what it is that he's going through mentally, because
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: for so long, man, so many of us couldn't, like yo,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: you be dealing with mental issues, you'd be dealing with
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: emotional issues, and you couldn't say, hey, man, I'm stuffering
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: from mental health issues. You got to make up some
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: other excuse, like you said earlier, something about lying on
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: your dog or something like that, some about the dog
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: eating kids. What do you say, what are you talking about?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: What did you say it was something about the kids
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and something. I don't remember what it was. All I'm
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: simply saying, but whatever it was, it stupid excuses like
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: that we used to have to make up. Oh I
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: would say that that you people to always say that
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: their kids were sick, but it would be an excuse,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: or that's right, something like that. That's right. Well, let's
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this, Hey Alicia?
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Talk to a Celicia. What's your thoughts? So? I I
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: am a mental health counselor down in South Florida. Um, sorry,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: my kids are excited to hear you. Guy. Tell them
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: we said peace. What's up? Guys? Yes, I am. I'm
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a mental health counselor down in Florida, and I mean
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: every single day I work in residential treatment down here.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: And we have people that you know, our CEOs of
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: companies are professional athletes, you are they at home moms
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: or teachers. We have special education teacher in my center
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: right now who had a mental health breakdown. And I
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: cannot imagine this woman. She's been a psychotic break At
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: this moment, she should be teaching second graders, you know,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: that's her job. That she's on leave. From and I
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: cannot even imagine this woman showing up to work for
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: five minutes without a catastrophe occurring. So people really need
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to understand mental health is not a joke. It's not
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: an excuse. People can use it as an excuse, just
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: like during the pandemic, people call it off because they
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: said they had a fever or whatever, and you just
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: let it flyde because you'd rather them not come around
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and bring their potential, you know, negative exposures to the
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: workplace if they need to do something to focus on
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: themselves or to get themselves in their health space. So,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: you know, when he's performers, especially these artists, celebrities, a
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: lot of them do have anxiety that's crippling. A lot
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: of them do have, you know, identity issues that they
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: struggle with just showing up and putting out this image
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that there's somebody that we all expect them to be,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and if they fall short of that, like Charloagne said,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: we criticize them for that. We criticize them if they snapped,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: we criticize them if they have like a bad night.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: So when these people say they just need a day
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: off or a night off, or they've got to cancel
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: a tour. I feel like we all have the people
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: need to learn how to respect those boundaries that people
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: are trying to sit up. Man, that's real. Give why
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: you hit away? Why you hang up on the lady?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I was gonna tell her to give about her information.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: See you part of the problem. You are part of
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the problem. You you with the fake bid. I'm looking
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: suspicious over that. Don't look suspicious, man, See that's your problem.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I'm hurt by what every time you tell bad about me?
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: What I'm hurt? Hurt about? What? By are you talking
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: bad about manybody talking bad about because you just said
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I talk bad about your bid and anything that about you?
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: But that's me. That ain't you. That's me, that's not you.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: It's not even yours. That's me. If you didn't pray
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: it on, I wouldn't say nothing about it, not if
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you left that in the camp at home, I would
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: have nothing to say about five eight five one oh
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: five on. We're talking about mental health. You know, little
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Pump made fun of Ross and said it was some bullcrap.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: And we're asking when people say that going through mental problems,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: do you believe them? You should? And by the way,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: who Are you to even act like they're lying. You
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: don't know what's going on in that person's head. Let's
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: talk about it. It's a breakfast cloud. Good morning,
