- 2:25Speaker 1: I live with her and I sleep in the little
- 2:27Speaker 1: room and she sleeps in her room, and I wake up.
- 2:29Speaker 1: I wake up every day at four o'clock to the morning.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Just use the bathroom because she might you know, pee
- 2:34Speaker 1: in the back, Yama. Yeah, we basically roommates. You can
- 2:39Speaker 1: say that, y'all. Y'all don't have sex or anything like
- 2:41Speaker 1: that in a relationship. No stuff, it's my dad. What's
- 2:47Speaker 1: the reason though, Like I mean for financial reasons though,
- 2:50Speaker 1: what's the reason y'all still roommates because her twin daughters,
- 2:54Speaker 1: we are being in their lives since they were baby.
- 2:57Speaker 1: So she don't want to be with nobody else. She
- 2:59Speaker 1: won to do somebody else, but she don't want to
- 3:01Speaker 1: bring another guy into the relationship. It's comfortable for her guy.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Something might happen because damn they have special uh distabilities
- 3:10Speaker 1: to the it. So she don't really want you. She
- 3:13Speaker 1: just wants you around the kids. She rapped the seat
- 3:15Speaker 1: somebody else. He feels comfortable with you, Yes, okay, And
- 3:18Speaker 1: what about if you want to date somebody else? You
- 3:20Speaker 1: want to That's the thing she tells me, is like,
- 3:25Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out and spend the night out or
- 3:27Speaker 1: she gives me like make say a curfew if you're
- 3:30Speaker 1: not home by eleven thirty, I already know you're spending
- 3:32Speaker 1: the night out. So how old I'm gonna be honest
- 3:34Speaker 1: with you. How old are you, sir? Study something? Yeah,
- 3:39Speaker 1: this was you said. This sounds like the story you
- 3:41Speaker 1: tell other women because you know you got a girl,
- 3:44Speaker 1: so you'd be like, no, I don't really got a girl,
- 3:45Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But we just live together.
- 3:47Speaker 1: You know her kids got special needs. I just take
- 3:49Speaker 1: care of the kids. But we're not really together. That's
- 3:52Speaker 1: just sounds like the story you tell other women. No,
- 3:54Speaker 1: not really. Yeah, I'm sure he wouldn't call up here
- 3:56Speaker 1: and lie to us. Why not. I'm not lying. Yeah, no,
- 4:02Speaker 1: I believe you. That's what I'm saying. It's an unusual enragement.
- 4:05Speaker 1: But people do get like comfortable with someone they're scared
- 4:07Speaker 1: to move on. I always say that some people get
- 4:09Speaker 1: comfortable and being like in a dysfunctional relationship and it
- 4:12Speaker 1: seems trapped though. Yeah, like you can't see other people, right, No, no,
- 4:17Speaker 1: she can't see she said, I want to see other people.
- 4:20Speaker 1: I don't want to be with you, but I just
- 4:21Speaker 1: got you around, could you get with the kids? Like
- 4:22Speaker 1: he sounding like he know she but she but she
- 4:24Speaker 1: told him if he if he stayed up till past
- 4:27Speaker 1: eleven thirty, I know you're with somebody else. You don't
- 4:29Speaker 1: come back, Like, what kind of sense is that that's on? Now? Well? Kids,

- 5:13Speaker 1: so make sure y'all do y'all check in with y'all
- 5:15Speaker 1: saving me and friends, because we need people sometimes to

- 5:23Speaker 1: you know your shirts or you can speak out against
- 5:25Speaker 1: social house. Okay, thank you, mom, absolutely, thank you. Here,
- 5:30Speaker 1: get it off your chest eight hundred five eight five
- 5:32Speaker 1: one on five one if you need to vind to
- 5:34Speaker 1: show down? Was the breakfast club? More? This is your
- 5:38Speaker 1: time to get it off your chest. Whether you're man
- 5:42Speaker 1: from you on the breakfast club? You got something on
- 5:44Speaker 1: your mind? Hello? Who's this? Hey? What's up? Broke? Get
- 5:49Speaker 1: it off your chest? Yeah, we have it all hard
- 5:53Speaker 1: time with relationship issues. What's the matter? What's your problem? Bros?
- 5:59Speaker 1: Both Wayne? It is neither one of us her hands
- 6:03Speaker 1: trust in each other? Why why don't y'all have trust?
- 6:06Speaker 1: What do y'all do to destruy the trust? Maybe I
- 6:08Speaker 1: was working multiple jobs for one, I think, and a
- 6:13Speaker 1: lot of friends and families and influences and stuff like that.
- 6:17Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't seem like a reason to get that.
- 6:20Speaker 1: We need a little more information than that, and we
- 6:22Speaker 1: want you to be honest, like, what is the real
- 6:24Speaker 1: reason there's reasons why people don't trust each other? Well,
- 6:27Speaker 1: she went searching to try to find something that she
- 6:31Speaker 1: heard from a friend, and then she started doing searching
- 6:34Speaker 1: and being fine nothing. So I think that's kind of
- 6:37Speaker 1: where the trust went, like about a year ago. And
- 6:41Speaker 1: so you're saying she tried to step out but you didn't,
- 6:43Speaker 1: but she was because she felt guilty about what she
- 6:46Speaker 1: was doing. She thought I was trying to step up
- 6:48Speaker 1: and went doing some searching and didn't find nothing. But
- 6:54Speaker 1: I always friends in the ear and you know, telling
- 6:57Speaker 1: her this and telling her Dad used to accuse me
- 7:00Speaker 1: a cheating basically every day that you know, saying all
- 7:04Speaker 1: this and that you know less of a man, you
- 7:08Speaker 1: don't have this, you don't have that. It's a lot
- 7:11Speaker 1: you know, it's a lot of nick kicking. Yeah, it
- 7:14Speaker 1: is a child involved, you know. So that's my main focus.
- 7:17Speaker 1: I'm like, we need to come together for our child.
- 7:22Speaker 1: We actually, yeah, we tried counseling, but when we talked
- 7:26Speaker 1: to a neutral person that don't know anything about the relationship,
- 7:31Speaker 1: he was telling us like what we need to know,
- 7:35Speaker 1: and like when you were saying you don't have a problem,
- 7:39Speaker 1: it really is a problem. And yes, and honestly, she
- 7:44Speaker 1: like a couple of months ago, she if you have
- 7:48Speaker 1: gave me an STD or anything, I'm leaving you, Like, well,
- 7:52Speaker 1: why would you think that, you know, because I'm not
- 7:55Speaker 1: doing anything so well. I did trust her until all
- 7:59Speaker 1: these functions, and I want to hang out with you know,
- 8:03Speaker 1: friends all the time instead of like trying to build
- 8:07Speaker 1: within the high. We'll hold on. It seems like you
- 8:09Speaker 1: need some some more help from me, so you hold
- 8:12Speaker 1: on all right? Hello? Who's this? Jelly Belly from Boston.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Jelly Belly, good morning. Get it off first, as I
- 8:21Speaker 1: want to thank your producer for being who he is
- 8:23Speaker 1: because he gives me life every time. I love his energy.
- 8:26Speaker 1: It's very therapeutic. On that note, I am a financial
- 8:30Speaker 1: therapist and I've been going within my family to like
- 8:34Speaker 1: literally change their lives. And I've been shocking people that
- 8:38Speaker 1: I didn't think I could shock, so and those mental
- 8:41Speaker 1: Health Awareness Month and I focus on that aspect a
- 8:44Speaker 1: lot of it with what I do because it's the
- 8:46Speaker 1: education that's important. I do thank you guys for being
- 8:52Speaker 1: a platform that I can say this. So I would
- 8:54Speaker 1: love you guys to follow me on Instagram. I'm trying
- 8:56Speaker 1: to figure out my life on the social media. UM
- 9:01Speaker 1: Jane's Financial Therapy. You can follow me on Instagram. UM
- 9:05Speaker 1: It's je and a E. Everybody getting wrong, including my
- 9:09Speaker 1: father's So that's a shame, right. I don't know if
- 9:14Speaker 1: he's there. That's that makes me concerned. But I love
- 9:18Speaker 1: you guys. I love, love, love you guys, and I
- 9:20Speaker 1: always tell everybody to leave it love and greatness shall follow. Um,
- 9:25Speaker 1: my condolences to you and b I did DMU like
- 9:29Speaker 1: last week or two weeks ago. Um, if you could
- 9:32Speaker 1: check that. But financial therapist do well. My mession is
- 9:38Speaker 1: to ease the mind e's to paying around finances because
- 9:42Speaker 1: a lot of the times I'm black, men are being
- 9:45Speaker 1: told to be the providers and they feel like they
- 9:47Speaker 1: don't have an outlet to go stay like, oh, I
- 9:49Speaker 1: don't know how to do this, you know, like, and
- 9:52Speaker 1: they shun away from therapy. That's not something we talk
- 9:55Speaker 1: about in our community a lot. So putting them both together,
- 9:59Speaker 1: we needed open up. We need to open up because
- 10:01Speaker 1: there's ways that we can win. And it's not always
- 10:05Speaker 1: just about not not to shunt you whatever and be,
- 10:09Speaker 1: But it's not just about real estate because that's the
- 10:11Speaker 1: most people would want to like to do. If I
- 10:12Speaker 1: need to do real estate, because that's gonna bring me
- 10:14Speaker 1: pass income, but there's other ways to do it. So
- 10:17Speaker 1: just you know, I want to ease that pain like
- 10:20Speaker 1: any other therapists will do. Okay, I love it, and
- 10:23Speaker 1: I'm lining to many states, so it's a push in
- 10:26Speaker 1: sufficient and it's free information. So let's get it. You
- 10:29Speaker 1: know what I mean. And I'm talking about information. Be
- 10:32Speaker 1: out there, absolutely get it off your chest. Eight hundred
- 10:36Speaker 1: five eight five one O five one if you need

- 13:24Speaker 1: I've known Mike for years, so it's like it's like
- 13:26Speaker 1: with family, you know, and uh so we all, you know,
- 13:30Speaker 1: it was supporting him, keeping him lifted up. But he's
- 13:34Speaker 1: he's a strong brother, he really is. And he has,
- 13:36Speaker 1: like you said, that faith in God, and uh, it
- 13:39Speaker 1: got us all through, you know, and uh, I'm you know,
- 13:42Speaker 1: I'm dealing with the I got the the kids and

- 13:49Speaker 1: feel we just feel blessed, really, I mean, you know,
- 13:52Speaker 1: it's hard. And then and were not going sugarcoat it.
- 13:55Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people went through depression. You know.

- 14:02Speaker 1: it was just we've never experienced something like this, you know,
- 14:04Speaker 1: like Mike saying, like hard, and then when you see
- 14:07Speaker 1: all these people losing their lives. I know so many
- 14:09Speaker 1: friends who've lost people also, and uh, you feel blessed,
- 14:14Speaker 1: but but you also are like just it's just sad.

- 18:21Speaker 1: love with a stripper? Now? I frequently DJ strip clubs
- 18:25Speaker 1: all the time, and I remember one particular time our
- 18:28Speaker 1: camera guy up here. He was feeling sad, so I
- 18:30Speaker 1: took him out for his birthday, which one nick No
- 18:33Speaker 1: No Steve. Steve said. I was out of the club
- 18:39Speaker 1: at about three o'clock. I say, your Steve, he's ready
- 18:41Speaker 1: to go. He was like, nah, I'll stay for a
- 18:42Speaker 1: little bit. It's like, Steve, you know nobody here. He
- 18:45Speaker 1: was like no, but you know the strippers feeling you.
- 18:47Speaker 1: I said, no, she's not feeling since. She's not feeling you, sir,
- 18:50Speaker 1: she's feeling the money that you're throwing it. He's like, no, no, no,
- 18:53Speaker 1: I think we have a connection. I said, well hit
- 18:55Speaker 1: me when you get home, so I know you made
- 18:57Speaker 1: it home safe. Steve waited there until about four toward
- 19:00Speaker 1: until she got out of work. That's how much in
- 19:02Speaker 1: love he was with that strip up. What happened after that,
- 19:05Speaker 1: I don't know, but he was definitely in love. It's
- 19:07Speaker 1: a scripper's job to give you attention, guys. It's a
- 19:10Speaker 1: completely transactional relationship. Yes, you're throwing your ones, she's dancing.
- 19:16Speaker 1: That's what the script club is for. It's like literally
- 19:19Speaker 1: going into a barbershop paying the barber to cut your hand,
- 19:21Speaker 1: saying yo, I think I think he's feeling me. Yo,
- 19:24Speaker 1: he's he's playing on my neck. No, he's cutting your hair. Okay,
- 19:29Speaker 1: it's the same thing with a scripper. But but I
- 19:32Speaker 1: will say this, and for the strippers out there, when
- 19:34Speaker 1: the stripper is dope dance and they have conversations with
- 19:37Speaker 1: their uh mark, I'll call them, that's when it gets
- 19:40Speaker 1: a little they're having conversations to see if you got
- 19:43Speaker 1: some goddamn money, but see if they should be wasting
- 19:45Speaker 1: their time with your conversation makes the mark feel special
- 19:47Speaker 1: because he's like, Wow, you dance for everybody, but you're
- 19:50Speaker 1: sitting down talking to me. I think that's why Scripps
- 19:52Speaker 1: a great hole. Drop on the kluz Bum followers Scripps
- 19:54Speaker 1: out there. That's why they're amazing at what they do
- 19:56Speaker 1: because they make you feel special. They make you feel wanted,
- 19:59Speaker 1: and that's how you have to make somebody feel if
- 20:01Speaker 1: you want them to throw that money. Salute all the Scripples. Man. Yeah,
- 20:04Speaker 1: you ever fell in love with shribble? I No, I
- 20:08Speaker 1: absolutely haven't. I have a lot of friends who with

- 25:37Speaker 1: It's the best of the Breakfast Club, the Breakfast Club Morning.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Everybody is cej Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We
- 25:47Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guests in
- 25:49Speaker 1: the building. That's right, Mike Africa, Julia, welcome brother, Thank
- 25:52Speaker 1: you very much. Welcome man, Mike, you are part of
- 25:54Speaker 1: one of the most interesting stories I heard over the
- 25:56Speaker 1: past year. Somebody put me onto the whole the Move
- 25:59Speaker 1: Organization telling people what is the Move Organization? The Move
- 26:02Speaker 1: Organization was founded by John Africa in nineteen seventy two.
- 26:06Speaker 1: The organization's mission is real simple, protect life. And when
- 26:09Speaker 1: you got a mission like that, you kind of ruffle
- 26:11Speaker 1: some feathers. And it was the self sufficiency of the
- 26:14Speaker 1: organization that I was really intrigued by. Yeah, I mean,
- 26:17Speaker 1: self sufficiency for black people in this country is dangerous.
- 26:20Speaker 1: You know, we saw what hopping to Tulsa, that was
- 26:22Speaker 1: all because of self sufficiency. Rosewood. You know what I mean, Philly,
- 26:25Speaker 1: Philly exactly. They dropping bombs on people just because you
- 26:29Speaker 1: self sufficient and breaking away from their system and creating
- 26:32Speaker 1: your own system. People that don't know, just break that
- 26:34Speaker 1: down the whole story, because a lot of people won't
- 26:35Speaker 1: know what the organization was or what they did and
- 26:38Speaker 1: how strong they were in Philly. So, and there's also
- 26:40Speaker 1: a documentary too on HBO called forty Years a Prisoner too. Right, So,
- 26:45Speaker 1: the organization started in seventy two by John Africa, my
- 26:47Speaker 1: great uncle. And the mission is simple, protect life, you know.
- 26:51Speaker 1: And if you see animals that need help, protect them,
- 26:53Speaker 1: if you need to see people that need help help them,
- 26:55Speaker 1: you know. And and when you're talking about like protecting
- 26:58Speaker 1: people from like police and judges and poly titians that
- 27:00Speaker 1: were crooked and dirty and not really doing their job,
- 27:02Speaker 1: you know, they pushed back and they did and so, um,
- 27:05Speaker 1: you know, John Africa's Korean War veteran, and he saw
- 27:08Speaker 1: the destruction of life and he and he you know,
- 27:11Speaker 1: got involved in protecting the environment. And um, look at
- 27:14Speaker 1: like what's happening in the Keystone Pipeline. People talking about
- 27:17Speaker 1: protecting the environment, you know what I mean? And and
- 27:19Speaker 1: um so the system they pushed back. They came and
- 27:22Speaker 1: they and they said you got to stop this, you know,
- 27:24Speaker 1: move people at the protest against the zoo or the
- 27:27Speaker 1: or the circus, and said, animals, they're not supposed to
- 27:29Speaker 1: be in these cages. You don't like being in a cage.
- 27:31Speaker 1: Why are you gonna put them in a in a cage?
- 27:33Speaker 1: The guy's creatures just like us. So um was moving militant, yes, yeah, yeah,
- 27:40Speaker 1: real militant, and especially at that time. You know, the
- 27:43Speaker 1: revolutionaries at that time were suits and ties. You know,
- 27:46Speaker 1: Mary the King was just you know, not not long
- 27:48Speaker 1: after before that, saying with Malcolm and people was like, yo,
- 27:51Speaker 1: what's up with this hair? And you know what I'm saying,
- 27:53Speaker 1: this crazy hair. Dreadlocks wasn't popular in nineteen seventy two,
- 27:56Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Marley ain't really hit the
- 27:57Speaker 1: stakes like that back then. And um so they the
- 28:01Speaker 1: police started coming at people, attacking people, and at one
- 28:04Speaker 1: point for no reason at all, for protesting, for protesting,
- 28:07Speaker 1: unrelenting protesting. They protesting at the time, they were protesting
- 28:11Speaker 1: against the Barnam and Bailey Ringling Brothers circus. You know,
- 28:13Speaker 1: animals and these animals this tiger don't belong in no circus.
- 28:16Speaker 1: It wasn't. You had to go steal that tiger from Bangladesh,
- 28:19Speaker 1: just like you had to steal Africans from Africa. Right,
- 28:22Speaker 1: how they changed the circus today now just in response.
- 28:25Speaker 1: It took that long exactly, so um, pregnant women will
- 28:29Speaker 1: be protesting against the you know these and they were
- 28:32Speaker 1: brutalized and pregnant women were beaten, kicked in the miscarriage
- 28:35Speaker 1: by the police. And then moved took a stand and said, well, look,
- 28:39Speaker 1: we're gonna fight fire with fire. Y'all come at us
- 28:41Speaker 1: next time. We're gonna come back and we're gonna protect
- 28:43Speaker 1: ourselves and we're gonna defend ourselves and arms standoff, just
- 28:46Speaker 1: like the panthers. And that led to the police coming
- 28:49Speaker 1: and they said all right, Well Frank Rizzo, who was
- 28:51Speaker 1: the mayor at the time, Trump of nineteen seventy seventy eight,
- 28:55Speaker 1: he said, all right, the police will be in there
- 28:58Speaker 1: to drag them out by the backs of their next
- 29:00Speaker 1: no question about that, children or not. And they came six.
- 29:04Speaker 1: I had a house in Philly. How many people are
- 29:06Speaker 1: in that house when they came. So the move had
- 29:08Speaker 1: multiple houses around the city. You know, it's not a Virginia, right, Virginia. Yeah,
- 29:13Speaker 1: we were in Virginia too. Um, it's it was you know,
- 29:15Speaker 1: it's a lot of people, so you know, you don't
- 29:17Speaker 1: you don't just live in one house. But that was
- 29:19Speaker 1: where we were at that time, was the headquarters. And
- 29:22Speaker 1: at the time, it was like it was like twelve
- 29:24Speaker 1: adults and a bunch of kids. And the police came
- 29:27Speaker 1: and they and they they came with tear gas. Housing
- 29:31Speaker 1: CO violations. Too many people living in the house or whatever.
- 29:34Speaker 1: That was like the reason housing co violations. That's it.
- 29:38Speaker 1: Nobody killed nobody, nobody beat nobody, We didn't nobody used
- 29:41Speaker 1: a gun to do anything. Housing CO violations. The police
- 29:44Speaker 1: came like like like you saw the insurgents. That's the
- 29:48Speaker 1: way the police was coming through our house. That's systemic
- 29:50Speaker 1: racism within itself because they know that a lot of
- 29:53Speaker 1: black people, a lot of brown people, they have to
- 29:55Speaker 1: live in and in a house with multiple people because
- 29:58Speaker 1: they can't afford to. Yeah, ain't nobody they got realized
- 30:00Speaker 1: that this when it comes to because we're talking about
- 30:04Speaker 1: black people, right, But I know when the movement first started,
- 30:07Speaker 1: look for this the story because he didn't get to
- 30:08Speaker 1: the bombing and all that. So, so what happened? I
- 30:11Speaker 1: was gonna say, so what happened after that? Because you
- 30:12Speaker 1: didn't finish so um housing corviolations? Police come, six hundred
- 30:16Speaker 1: cops come, they shoot, tear gas, they shoot, They're trying
- 30:18Speaker 1: to flush people out of the house. Y'all got a
- 30:20Speaker 1: roll and and the people was like, this is our house.
- 30:23Speaker 1: We ain't leaving, and and and they started shooting tear
- 30:26Speaker 1: gas and water cannons from the fire department. And that
- 30:29Speaker 1: led to like, um, somebody started shooting. They said a
- 30:33Speaker 1: thousand bullets. They said a police shot allegedly a thousand
- 30:36Speaker 1: bullets into that house. A ten thousand bullets into the house.
- 30:38Speaker 1: Ten thousand rounds and ninety minutes, oh my gosh, minutes.
- 30:41Speaker 1: So so okay, there's two different confrontations we're talking about, though.
- 30:45Speaker 1: This one that I'm talking about is the one my
- 30:47Speaker 1: parents got locked up. This was in nineteen seventy eight.
- 30:50Speaker 1: Shot the shots fired, cop gets shot, he dies. Of course,
- 30:54Speaker 1: they blamed it on move just said, well, we don't
- 30:56Speaker 1: know who did it. They checked my mom for powder burns,
- 30:59Speaker 1: na she ain't shooting, no gun, don't matter. She was
- 31:02Speaker 1: with everybody else. They acted in concert their family. We're
- 31:04Speaker 1: gonna send him as a family one hundred years each.
- 31:07Speaker 1: My mom was pregnant with me at the time in
- 31:10Speaker 1: the jail five weeks later, and they dropped a bomb
- 31:12Speaker 1: on that. So later, So then MOVE other move members
- 31:15Speaker 1: start protesting about what happened. They're like, yo, you can't
- 31:17Speaker 1: give nobody howny years. That's nine hundred years for something
- 31:22Speaker 1: you can't The judge is saying, we don't even know
- 31:24Speaker 1: if you did it, did it or not, but a
- 31:26Speaker 1: cop died, so you're gonna be punished for it. So
- 31:28Speaker 1: Move other MOVE members start protesting, and as the protests
- 31:32Speaker 1: going on, the city's response to that was, well, we're
- 31:35Speaker 1: gonna put it into him, Mayor of Philadelphia, black mayor,
- 31:38Speaker 1: Black Mayor, Wilson Good. We're gonna put a permanent into him.
- 31:41Speaker 1: Flew helicopter over our house, dropped a bomb on it.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Black man, black mayor, And you guys really went hard
- 31:47Speaker 1: for him to be mayor, right because you thought they
- 31:48Speaker 1: would be changing. He was saying that he was gonna
- 31:51Speaker 1: he felt like Move was innocent. He believed that the
- 31:53Speaker 1: Move nine were unjustly charged, and so he felt like
- 31:56Speaker 1: he could help. He said, if you make me the mayor,
- 31:58Speaker 1: I'll help. I think his conscience kills him all the
- 32:01Speaker 1: time about that, because he's apologized a bunch of times.
- 32:04Speaker 1: He has apologized. And you know the thing about that
- 32:06Speaker 1: is when they dropped the bomb, eleven people die, right, Um,
- 32:09Speaker 1: the founder of John Africa, my great uncle, my cousin,
- 32:11Speaker 1: Frank Um, and not my caretaker. My mother's in prison.
- 32:15Speaker 1: You know, I'm six years old. I ain't got no mother,
- 32:16Speaker 1: I ain't got no father with me. So my caretaker
- 32:19Speaker 1: who was she was in the house too, Rhonda Um.
- 32:22Speaker 1: And it took another thirty three years to actually get
- 32:27Speaker 1: the other people out of jail. Wow, Mom, I was
- 32:31Speaker 1: four miles away, four point four miles away, watching the
- 32:34Speaker 1: smoke in the air. Didn't know what was going on
- 32:37Speaker 1: him six right. You know, how do you explain the
- 32:39Speaker 1: six year old your family's dead? Right? So I you know,
- 32:42Speaker 1: I learned when there was one survivor of the bombing,
- 32:45Speaker 1: Ramona Africa, and Um, she went. They arrested her, put
- 32:49Speaker 1: her in jail for riot and arson and like blamed
- 32:53Speaker 1: her for all of this stuff more than everybody in
- 32:56Speaker 1: stej Envy. Angela yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the
- 32:59Speaker 1: bread for his club was still kicking it with Mike
- 33:01Speaker 1: Africa Junior Charlomie. How was your family misrepresented in the media? Oh, man,
- 33:07Speaker 1: let me tell you something. For when I was growing up,
- 33:12Speaker 1: I remember hearing these things. Move stands for monkey's on
- 33:15Speaker 1: vines everywhere. Wow. Yeah, um, move doesn't mean anything. It
- 33:20Speaker 1: just means they like to move, right, That's actually kind
- 33:23Speaker 1: of what it is. Movement is necessary. Right, if you
- 33:26Speaker 1: don't move, you stagnate, right. But they would say other
- 33:29Speaker 1: things like move needs to take a bath. They don't
- 33:31Speaker 1: Bathe Rizzo said, all the move needs is a good
- 33:34Speaker 1: haircut in the bath to be free. Wow, you know
- 33:38Speaker 1: what I mean. And like he was very like outwardly
- 33:41Speaker 1: racist against us, and the media really played a huge
- 33:45Speaker 1: part and like dismirching our name and like misrepresenting who
- 33:48Speaker 1: we are and just making us look like we were
- 33:51Speaker 1: just a bunch of crazy people who had nothing to
- 33:53Speaker 1: live for, nothing to fight for. Mumia was the only
- 33:58Speaker 1: journal He wasn't the only one, but he was like
- 34:00Speaker 1: the main one that would like tell the truth exactly
- 34:02Speaker 1: what happened as move said it, and like as the
- 34:06Speaker 1: police said it too. Like if you watched the documentary
- 34:08Speaker 1: Forty Years a Prisoner on HBO Max, you see like, um,
- 34:11Speaker 1: there's different parts of that story that show, like where
- 34:15Speaker 1: where the police were saying things like they took Delbert
- 34:19Speaker 1: Africa to the hospital, but they should have taken him
- 34:21Speaker 1: to the morgue, right he said that. Mumia would show
- 34:25Speaker 1: that he said that, and then he would the police
- 34:28Speaker 1: were getting there, like why would you say that? We
- 34:29Speaker 1: said that? And he's like, well, you said it, you
- 34:32Speaker 1: know what I mean. But back then, it was different.
- 34:34Speaker 1: Activism in nineteen seventy something was very different than it
- 34:37Speaker 1: is in twenty twenty one, you know what I mean,
- 34:39Speaker 1: especially with people that looked different, that at different, that
- 34:43Speaker 1: took a radical stance against police that were actually out there.
- 34:47Speaker 1: That's the other thing too, Yo, actually out there outside
- 34:49Speaker 1: on the front line. Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't a
- 34:52Speaker 1: Twitter war, you know what I mean. It was actually
- 34:54Speaker 1: people out there on the street at the police station,
- 34:56Speaker 1: knocking on their door like, yo, we're here to confront
- 34:59Speaker 1: you a out this situation, just like the panthers, you
- 35:02Speaker 1: know what I mean. But if you talk about things
- 35:03Speaker 1: and you confronting industries for the wrong they're doing. They
- 35:07Speaker 1: will drop a mom even Mamma as a journalist, like
- 35:10Speaker 1: you know what I mean, for him just reporting the truth,
- 35:12Speaker 1: like you think that didn't make him a target just
- 35:14Speaker 1: because he's right down to his current situation right now today,
- 35:17Speaker 1: Mumia has been in prison for thirty nine years. December
- 35:20Speaker 1: nine will be forty years, and there's there's so much
- 35:24Speaker 1: evidence that proves that he's innocent. There's another person who
- 35:27Speaker 1: actually confessed to the murder. He said it was a
- 35:30Speaker 1: mob hit, and yet Mumia is still in prison and
- 35:33Speaker 1: that you know, I had this this thing I told somebody,
- 35:37Speaker 1: I said, if they asked me about Mumia, I want
- 35:39Speaker 1: to say something about this situation about Marine Falkner, specifically
- 35:42Speaker 1: the dead, the slain cops wife X wife or you
- 35:47Speaker 1: know how it goes. You know, it's real unfortunate that
- 35:51Speaker 1: that this situation is what it is. And I ain't
- 35:54Speaker 1: I ain't never really liked cops just because of what
- 35:57Speaker 1: they did to our family. But I don't want to
- 35:58Speaker 1: see a man die. I don't want to see a
- 36:00Speaker 1: wife a widow, right, um that's about life, about life,
- 36:05Speaker 1: and like it's it's really messed. I know what it
- 36:07Speaker 1: looked like to see people's loved ones die, to see
- 36:10Speaker 1: them cry and complain and and just go through this thing,
- 36:13Speaker 1: and like, you know, but I just know that for
- 36:17Speaker 1: Maureen Faulkner killing Mumia, that's not going to bring her
- 36:19Speaker 1: closure and ain't gonna make her feel better. Check this out.
- 36:24Speaker 1: Some of the children that were killed only thirteenth, nineteen
- 36:26Speaker 1: eighty five. Some of the children that were killed were
- 36:29Speaker 1: actually shot to death by the police as they were
- 36:32Speaker 1: trying to escape the house, escape the burning building in
- 36:36Speaker 1: the back alley. Sambor, the police commissioner right his son.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Years later, his son was shot and killed in the
- 36:44Speaker 1: back alley of his house, right wow. And I watched
- 36:48Speaker 1: MOVE members who lost their children in that back alley.
- 36:51Speaker 1: I watched them watch the news about what happened to
- 36:56Speaker 1: their to this man and his son, and I watched
- 37:00Speaker 1: how they processed that information. It didn't make them feel better,
- 37:06Speaker 1: It didn't change their view, it didn't help them, It
- 37:10Speaker 1: didn't give them any closure. In fact, they made it.
- 37:13Speaker 1: It made them angrier because they expected it to make
- 37:16Speaker 1: them feel better. They hoped they would make them feel better.
- 37:18Speaker 1: So I would say that the only thing that I've
- 37:20Speaker 1: seen that gave them any pleasure, any closure, was the
- 37:24Speaker 1: love that they could put into their own families. And
- 37:26Speaker 1: when you when you spoke to the mayor, right, you
- 37:28Speaker 1: spoke to the mayor after everything years later, yeah, which
- 37:33Speaker 1: was good? Good? Didn't make you feel better? Now he
- 37:36Speaker 1: was the mayor that gave the ok to bomb that house.
- 37:38Speaker 1: How was that conversation? I read somewhere you said you
- 37:41Speaker 1: vomited after the meeting, But how was that meeting? And
- 37:44Speaker 1: how was he during that meeting? Bro? That was the worst.
- 37:48Speaker 1: That was the worst feeling I ever had in my life.
- 37:51Speaker 1: So I have to sit across and talk to the
- 37:52Speaker 1: mayor that by my family. That was the worst thing
- 37:56Speaker 1: I ever had to do in my life. The hardest
- 37:58Speaker 1: thing was that even legal, how was he able to
- 38:01Speaker 1: do that? A lot of things ain't legal, But legality
- 38:05Speaker 1: doesn't really mean much when it comes to government, because
- 38:07Speaker 1: domestic the police get a bomb from if anything is
- 38:15Speaker 1: legal when they when they want to do it right,
- 38:17Speaker 1: like you know, they just create this and make this
- 38:18Speaker 1: stuff up and then you're trying to escape and they're
- 38:20Speaker 1: shooting you, and so and so talking to the mayor
- 38:24Speaker 1: apologized he did he did make something real clear. It
- 38:30Speaker 1: wasn't easy to do that, and it wasn't something that
- 38:33Speaker 1: I wanted to do. My family nominated me to do
- 38:36Speaker 1: it because our people were in prison and they were
- 38:38Speaker 1: dying in prison. And the mayor, Wilson good after the bombing,
- 38:43Speaker 1: he had made a statement. He said he was sorry
- 38:44Speaker 1: for what happened. He wished he could change it, and
- 38:47Speaker 1: he said that if there was anything that he could do,
- 38:50Speaker 1: he would try to help. So there was a street
- 38:53Speaker 1: sign he was being honored with his very own street sign,
- 38:55Speaker 1: Willson good Way, and the public in Philly just went off.
- 38:58Speaker 1: They went crazy, and so he was like, I'm sorry,
- 39:01Speaker 1: I wish I could have I wish I could change it.
- 39:04Speaker 1: If there's anything that we could do, you know. So
- 39:07Speaker 1: he my family nominated me to go talk to him.
- 39:09Speaker 1: I went and talk to him. I said, that's something
- 39:11Speaker 1: you can do. You can help me free my family.
- 39:14Speaker 1: And he did. He helped. He did, he helped, He
- 39:16Speaker 1: wrote support letters, he offered them jobs if they needed it.
- 39:20Speaker 1: How many how many you got up? Once we once
- 39:23Speaker 1: we put that in motion, my dad came home and
- 39:26Speaker 1: then everybody else came home. Question two things. Does the
- 39:29Speaker 1: apology matter? It didn't matter for you, didn't matter as
- 39:33Speaker 1: far as far as your own now now, on a
- 39:36Speaker 1: personal level, no, it matters publicly, and it matters when
- 39:40Speaker 1: you're dealing with politicians, and it matters when you're trying
- 39:42Speaker 1: to take take things from one step to the other.
- 39:44Speaker 1: But personally, no, it don't matter. My family's still gone. Absolutely.
- 39:48Speaker 1: So you got him to apologize. So now he apologized.
- 39:50Speaker 1: That's an a mission of guilt. Yeah, right, so now
- 39:52Speaker 1: you can hold him accountable and you did you Yeah,
- 39:55Speaker 1: was that enough to get you closer to the hill?
- 39:56Speaker 1: And I guess getting the family released? Oh yeah for
- 39:59Speaker 1: me me personally, yeah, because se Bro, like, all I
- 40:03Speaker 1: want to do is is like honor the legacy of
- 40:06Speaker 1: my family. It's nothing more important to me than my family.
- 40:09Speaker 1: And to see my family come home, even if they're
- 40:11Speaker 1: mad about something, even if they don't like the fact
- 40:13Speaker 1: that I went and talked to Wilson good. The fact
- 40:14Speaker 1: that they home and breathing free air and eating free food. Hey,
- 40:18Speaker 1: that's good enough for me. So your father was in
- 40:20Speaker 1: jail for forty years, right, you grew up without your
- 40:23Speaker 1: mom or our dad. What was it like when they
- 40:26Speaker 1: came home? It was euphoric. I mean it was like, um,
- 40:29Speaker 1: I mean I never did drugs before, but for the
- 40:30Speaker 1: people that talk about how good it make them feel,
- 40:32Speaker 1: that's how it felt. I mean, it felt like I
- 40:34Speaker 1: was floating on cloud like cloud nine for real, Like
- 40:37Speaker 1: I felt so good and at lasts for so long
- 40:41Speaker 1: like to be I remember one time my mom came home.
- 40:43Speaker 1: We sat on this m on his chest that I've built, right,
- 40:47Speaker 1: I built this little thing outside of my outside of
- 40:48Speaker 1: my bathroom door, and we and I sat on it
- 40:50Speaker 1: one day, we sat on it together. We started talking
- 40:52Speaker 1: around seven o'clock PM and we didn't stop talking until
- 40:56Speaker 1: the sun came up, until it was time for me
- 40:59Speaker 1: to go to work. You know what I mean, you
- 41:01Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And it just felt so good
- 41:03Speaker 1: to like to like be able to do that when
- 41:05Speaker 1: I when my mom called me on the phone, like
- 41:07Speaker 1: I don't have to limit our conversation, but I can
- 41:10Speaker 1: if I need to. Though, Wow, I can say, Mom,
- 41:13Speaker 1: I'll call you back. I ain't never been able to
- 41:15Speaker 1: say yeah, you know. So it just felt real good
- 41:18Speaker 1: to be able to see her eat some of the
- 41:19Speaker 1: food she wanted to be able to eat. Something gets
- 41:21Speaker 1: you know, medical attention that she needed, you know, just
- 41:24Speaker 1: to see her family members that she hadn't seen for
- 41:26Speaker 1: a long time, ailing older aunts and uncles. It's you know,
- 41:30Speaker 1: freedom is real important, all right. We have more with
- 41:33Speaker 1: Mike Africa Junior. When we come back. Don't move. It's
- 41:35Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning, everybody in dj Envy
- 41:39Speaker 1: Angela yee, Chalomagne the God we all the Breakfast Club.
- 41:42Speaker 1: We're still kicking it with Mike Africa Junior. Chalomagne. I
- 41:44Speaker 1: feel like the city of Philadelphia, the state of Pennsylvania,
- 41:48Speaker 1: old y'all some type of reparation. Well, you know, let
- 41:50Speaker 1: me tell you about this, bro It gets worse. After
- 41:52Speaker 1: they dropped the bomb, they killed all the people. They
- 41:56Speaker 1: didn't give the bodies back to the families. What it
- 42:00Speaker 1: appears that that the University of Pennsylvania, the Medical Examiner's
- 42:04Speaker 1: Office of Philadelphia stole their bodies. Wow. Research we just
- 42:10Speaker 1: found out. We just found out in April of two
- 42:14Speaker 1: twenty one that penn Museum and Princeton had this research
- 42:21Speaker 1: study Losing Personhood a Question anthropology, whatever it's called, and
- 42:26Speaker 1: they taught that to over five thousand students, and they
- 42:29Speaker 1: were holding up bones from the people that were murdered. Wow.
- 42:34Speaker 1: So it's like yo, and it gets worse than that.
- 42:37Speaker 1: Like so just recently, the mother of one of those
- 42:41Speaker 1: girls that that they that we found out about, like,
- 42:45Speaker 1: she she found out about this thought her daughter was buried, right,
- 42:50Speaker 1: she found out about it. A month later she died
- 42:55Speaker 1: the city of Philadelphia and the and the and the
- 42:58Speaker 1: pen Museum and Princeton. I don't even know what. I
- 43:01Speaker 1: don't know. I don't I just think about this, like
- 43:05Speaker 1: for myself as a black man from Philly, right, if
- 43:08Speaker 1: I went to somebody's grave and just took their bodies
- 43:12Speaker 1: and was like posting it up, yo, yo, Yo, Charlemagne,
- 43:15Speaker 1: we're gonna do this thing, right, Yo, give me five,
- 43:16Speaker 1: get your boys together, We're gonn I'm gonna show you
- 43:18Speaker 1: these bones that I got from these Jewish people, right
- 43:20Speaker 1: and we're gonna you know what I'm saying, and and
- 43:22Speaker 1: and just bring your people's right and pay me, and
- 43:24Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you these bones. They stay some serious
- 43:27Speaker 1: specimens right here. Five thousand people. And then you know
- 43:31Speaker 1: what they said when we when we confronted them on it. Oh,
- 43:33Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I didn't know. I couldn't do that if
- 43:36Speaker 1: I had known you wanted them back, I would have
- 43:38Speaker 1: gave them to you. We've been so used to y'all
- 43:40Speaker 1: being our property and us having license over yall bodies
- 43:43Speaker 1: all of these years. We didn't think it would be different. Yeah,
- 43:46Speaker 1: like what's the problem? You know? And and and then
- 43:49Speaker 1: taking pictures with them in front of like a wall
- 43:54Speaker 1: of skulls that they stole from African graves. I was
- 43:58Speaker 1: on markling my Hill show the other day, right shoot
- 44:00Speaker 1: them up, and I was like, Yo, this is how
- 44:03Speaker 1: they turn peaceful people into violent people, absolutely, because it's like,
- 44:07Speaker 1: what are you supposed to do? Because I did that
- 44:09Speaker 1: to one of those people down there? What would they
- 44:11Speaker 1: do to mend one of them cops that that shot
- 44:13Speaker 1: one of my mow brothers and sisters. If I went
- 44:15Speaker 1: down there they crib and was like, yo, you coming
- 44:18Speaker 1: with me? Kill you and then you know, burn you
- 44:22Speaker 1: up and then walk around with your body in the
- 44:23Speaker 1: back of my in the back of my pocket, and
- 44:25Speaker 1: like and driving around in my car like And the
- 44:28Speaker 1: irony is where the ones that get labeled with the
- 44:30Speaker 1: stereotype of being violent, violent, gross crazy. Everything that they said,
- 44:34Speaker 1: we were exactly whether they value our lives. And then
- 44:38Speaker 1: you can say black lives matter, and they get mad
- 44:40Speaker 1: about saying that, Oh oh, no, police lives matter, right,
- 44:44Speaker 1: Blue lives matter, Blue lives matter. Yeah, you think the
- 44:47Speaker 1: residents of that neighborhood, of the families will ever be compensated? No? Never, man,
- 44:53Speaker 1: like some people, are you fighting for that? I'm fighting
- 44:57Speaker 1: for justice for all, like for real, I'm on this campaign,
- 45:01Speaker 1: justice for move and within that the old sage neighbors,
- 45:04Speaker 1: the ones that are still alive, because most of them
- 45:06Speaker 1: are gone now. I mean that was thirty six years
- 45:07Speaker 1: ago and a lot of them were you know, older
- 45:09Speaker 1: people then. And so I'm fighting for justice. That's my
- 45:12Speaker 1: john just to my campaign. Just no repercussion for the
- 45:16Speaker 1: cops or for the judge or for the mayor or
- 45:18Speaker 1: nothing like. They got granted immunity, right, they were granted
- 45:22Speaker 1: qualified immunity, and the judge said there was a ruling that, okay,
- 45:26Speaker 1: we're gonna make compare the jory said we're gonna make
- 45:28Speaker 1: compare dollars a week for their crime. Just disrespect. That's
- 45:31Speaker 1: very disrespectful. But the judge just that a way, he said, nah,
- 45:33Speaker 1: we ain't even doing that immunity And they did for
- 45:36Speaker 1: frends and saw that the bullets came from the outside
- 45:38Speaker 1: of the house, because at first they were trying to
- 45:40Speaker 1: say somebody was shooting from inside the house at the cops.
- 45:43Speaker 1: But the truth is yeah, and that's the thing. It's like,
- 45:48Speaker 1: so what happens. So one of the one of my
- 45:50Speaker 1: johns for for justice, I say, Johona for Philly, Like
- 45:53Speaker 1: we know, we know exactly what I say. Okay, I
- 45:56Speaker 1: did radio with Philly for like ten So one of
- 45:59Speaker 1: my jobs in Philly is but you know what, So
- 46:07Speaker 1: one of my johns is accountability. Like if we if
- 46:11Speaker 1: we're talking about change, what happened and told us one
- 46:13Speaker 1: hundred years ago? And some people they never got no accountability, right,
- 46:18Speaker 1: there's got to be accountability. How you how are you
- 46:20Speaker 1: going to just what would make them stop doing these things?
- 46:22Speaker 1: If there was no accountability. They haven't stopped. That's the
- 46:25Speaker 1: crazy part, you know, they ain't. They haven't stopped. They
- 46:27Speaker 1: ain't going to stop unless somebody stop them. And think
- 46:29Speaker 1: about how people could be thriving today if they were
- 46:32Speaker 1: able to access what was theirs and their families generations
- 46:36Speaker 1: exactly you know what I mean? My dad is so
- 46:38Speaker 1: smart Villanova graduate from prison, you know, what I mean,
- 46:43Speaker 1: like we we we've lost so much that they've taken
- 46:46Speaker 1: from us. Just you know, they just say they just
- 46:48Speaker 1: hate everything about us because they ain't us. Want I
- 46:50Speaker 1: want to ask you about that. Why do you think
- 46:52Speaker 1: the same country America that tells us pull ourselves up
- 46:55Speaker 1: by our bootscraps, attacks us and takes our boots whenever
- 46:59Speaker 1: we do just man, because I'm telling you, man, they
- 47:02Speaker 1: got they got complexes about us. They mad, They mad
- 47:06Speaker 1: because they ain't got what we got, you know what
- 47:07Speaker 1: I mean. And then the people like you know, I
- 47:11Speaker 1: saw a flag flying the other day it said give
- 47:14Speaker 1: me liberty or give me death. And I looked at that,
- 47:16Speaker 1: John and I said, man, it couldn't have been a
- 47:18Speaker 1: black person that wrote that, you know what I mean.
- 47:22Speaker 1: And it's gonna be no Spanish person that say that.
- 47:25Speaker 1: Not in this country. You say something like that, they
- 47:27Speaker 1: will oblige you. That's right, you know, um. But but
- 47:31Speaker 1: what we do have, man, we got so much, We
- 47:33Speaker 1: got creativity, we got love them like we got we
- 47:36Speaker 1: got a love like the mothers in the black community
- 47:39Speaker 1: that love their kids. Like when you see that, and like,
- 47:42Speaker 1: you know, like are they just they just got a
- 47:45Speaker 1: problem with us because we us you know, but that
- 47:50Speaker 1: that's their problems, right, What does what does justice look
- 47:53Speaker 1: like for you? Um? I think justice for me look
- 47:56Speaker 1: like do one too others as you would have them
- 47:58Speaker 1: do under you. Well, you can never the way man
- 48:00Speaker 1: to do that. You can't expect the white man. Nah,
- 48:06Speaker 1: you can't. But you know what with with with people
- 48:09Speaker 1: understanding the importance of these of these situations. And then
- 48:12Speaker 1: and then white people are starting to get affected by
- 48:14Speaker 1: this stuff too, that's right. They started these things that
- 48:17Speaker 1: we was complaining about as black people and as and
- 48:20Speaker 1: as as minority people, white people starting to complain about them. Yeah,
- 48:23Speaker 1: because they're doing the same thing, the poor white people
- 48:26Speaker 1: and a lot of a lot of yeah. And and
- 48:27Speaker 1: those poor white people have connections. And then then then
- 48:30Speaker 1: and then white women be loving black men and then
- 48:33Speaker 1: vice versa, so like they be integrating and connecting. So
- 48:36Speaker 1: it's like our problem is becoming their problem too. But
- 48:40Speaker 1: I'm saying, do one to others if you would have
- 48:41Speaker 1: them do under you. I think what justice looked like
- 48:43Speaker 1: to me is if I did that to one of them,
- 48:46Speaker 1: they should get the same treatment that they would give me.
- 48:49Speaker 1: Not in this cat and if and if they can't,
- 48:52Speaker 1: then what they do. They give reparations, they teach about it.
- 48:56Speaker 1: They're still talking about Christmas, addicts, they still talk um,
- 48:59Speaker 1: not Christmas. They're still talking about And I'm the red
- 49:03Speaker 1: Coach coming like yeah, okay, well I'm saying the Red
- 49:06Speaker 1: Coach is coming, like, let's let's the same way that

- 49:53Speaker 1: that I'm bringing hard for anybody is number one. We
- 49:56Speaker 1: speak for ourselves. Number two. If you want to tell
- 49:59Speaker 1: our story, we will do with that project number three
- 50:01Speaker 1: if you don't want to do either one of the
- 50:03Speaker 1: one and two were protesting that because we speak for ourselves.
- 50:06Speaker 1: We're here, We're not this is not this is not
- 50:08Speaker 1: a one hundred years later where we ain't here no more.
- 50:10Speaker 1: We're right here. And if you just want to try
- 50:12Speaker 1: to go over our head, nah, nah, we gotta speak
- 50:14Speaker 1: for ourself because they don't. Did too much damage to
- 50:17Speaker 1: our reputation. Yeah, I wouldn't do it with any production
- 50:20Speaker 1: company that's not black from Philly. I definitely want to
- 50:23Speaker 1: do it with somebody from Philly, but it's like could
- 50:25Speaker 1: to produce it that did four years of prisoner here
- 50:28Speaker 1: from Philly, Tommy Oliver. So we definitely want somebody that
- 50:31Speaker 1: recognize us as us and who we are. So that's
- 50:35Speaker 1: definitely important. Um So we'll see how it goes. Put
- 50:39Speaker 1: that out in the atmosphere. Let's put it out. Put

- 51:05Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same. Hey, listen,
- 51:09Speaker 1: if you hear me talking to you right now, that
- 51:11Speaker 1: means I'm not really here. Okay, we're on vacation. It's
- 51:14Speaker 1: the best of show. But you know, Donkey of the Day,
- 51:16Speaker 1: I remember ten years ago when I started this segment. Um,
- 51:19Speaker 1: I said that I hope that one day, you know,
- 51:21Speaker 1: it'll grow to be a legendary you know, radio segment.
- 51:24Speaker 1: It's still not up for me to say that. But
- 51:26Speaker 1: we've had some pretty good ones. Okay, they say this
- 51:29Speaker 1: one is a classic. Here you go, it's time for
- 51:35Speaker 1: Donkey of the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey
- 51:40Speaker 1: of the Day a little bit of a mixed cluck,
- 51:42Speaker 1: so like a dog other day. Picture. Now, I've been
- 51:49Speaker 1: called a lot of my twenty three years, like Donkey
- 51:51Speaker 1: of the Day is a new wife. Well okay, bowlng
- 51:57Speaker 1: uh okay. Donkey goes to self love ambassador, entrepreneur, social
- 52:03Speaker 1: media relationship expert Arthur. He's wrote books like heil together
- 52:08Speaker 1: without hurting each other. He wrote another book called Single
- 52:11Speaker 1: Mothers of for Grown Men Only, and he even wrote
- 52:13Speaker 1: a book called A Cheating Man's Heart, a fiction novel.
- 52:18Speaker 1: I put fiction novel in air quotes because based on
- 52:21Speaker 1: all these new developments, it's safe to say Derek Jackson's
- 52:24Speaker 1: book A Cheating Man's Heart was probably based on a
- 52:27Speaker 1: true story. Now Derek has built a following basically calling
- 52:31Speaker 1: men out on their behavior. Okay, holding men accountable. I'm
- 52:34Speaker 1: not mad at that. He's done it to me. He's
- 52:37Speaker 1: done it to Little Duvall. He's done it to Gilly
- 52:39Speaker 1: the King, He's done it to Isaac Hay is the third.
- 52:41Speaker 1: This is this thing, Okay, holding men accountable, and I'm
- 52:44Speaker 1: fine with that. I had him on my podcast Brilliant
- 52:46Speaker 1: Idiots a few years ago, and on that podcast we
- 52:48Speaker 1: promised to hold each other accountable. Well, Derek Jackson is
- 52:53Speaker 1: your turn to be held accountable. Okay, let's just get
- 52:55Speaker 1: right to it. Derek Jackson is full of Okay, I
- 53:00Speaker 1: can't Curson. You know that? He say, oh what, Yes,
- 53:03Speaker 1: he's full of that. Okay. He's a liar, a textbook
- 53:07Speaker 1: narcissist and manipulator who gets what he wants at the
- 53:10Speaker 1: expense of other people's well being. This is a guy
- 53:14Speaker 1: who will get online and say this about men who
- 53:17Speaker 1: have cheated. I have no sympathy for a man who
- 53:21Speaker 1: finds it to be difficult to be faithful after being
- 53:24Speaker 1: a permission with lifestyle and neither ship. Nobody told you
- 53:27Speaker 1: to be permissius before the relationship, and nobody made you
- 53:30Speaker 1: be monogamus. Would just hurt you don't want to let
- 53:32Speaker 1: another man have her? And more times, I would say
- 53:36Speaker 1: nine times out of ten, when the dude gets caught cheating,
- 53:38Speaker 1: that wasn't wasn't his very very first time cheating, That
- 53:42Speaker 1: was his only time getting caught. I agree with you, Derek. Okay,
- 53:45Speaker 1: And guess what Derek Jackson himself is a cheatah. Oh,
- 53:49Speaker 1: he just got exposed by a woman named Candice. I
- 53:52Speaker 1: can't pronounce her last name, but but Derek Jackson, who
- 53:54Speaker 1: is a married man, bought this woman to Atlanta to
- 53:57Speaker 1: stay in his house he shares with his wife and kids.
- 54:00Speaker 1: A woman, Candice, who Derek was cheating with, actually took
- 54:02Speaker 1: pictures of her laying in the bed he shared with
- 54:05Speaker 1: his wife and there at laying at home, Derek Jackson,
- 54:07Speaker 1: who spells his last name j A X. And why
- 54:11Speaker 1: I don't know that bothers me. Jackson may be a
- 54:14Speaker 1: slave name, but when it comes to black people, it's
- 54:16Speaker 1: one of the greatest last names you can never have.
- 54:18Speaker 1: Why would you hack that? I mean, when you're talking Jackson's,
- 54:21Speaker 1: you're talking Samuel l Janet, Jesse, Bow, Randy, Mehelia, and
- 54:24Speaker 1: of course Michael. But actually I'm glad you don't spell
- 54:27Speaker 1: your last name Jackson because you don't deserve to be
- 54:29Speaker 1: in that Jackson power ranking. Okay, if you were, you
- 54:31Speaker 1: would be at the bottom, right under Andrew. You know,
- 54:34Speaker 1: Andrew Jackson, seventh President of the United States, slave master
- 54:37Speaker 1: ff Nick Clints, the Tyrant. If you actually spelled your
- 54:40Speaker 1: last name Jackson correctly, you would be at the bottom
- 54:42Speaker 1: of the list, near him because of the level of
- 54:45Speaker 1: evil that you display. Yes, my brothers, see what we're
- 54:47Speaker 1: gonna do here today is stop the Shenanigans. Okay. See,
- 54:51Speaker 1: my father always told me that when you lie, you're
- 54:53Speaker 1: not lying to nobody but yourself. And I have watched
- 54:56Speaker 1: you since this story broke, just lie an attempt to
- 55:00Speaker 1: continue to manipulate the public. I mean that's what you do.
- 55:03Speaker 1: You manipulate people, you get online and have these bad
- 55:06Speaker 1: faith arguments, which is also textbook narcissism, meaning you don't
- 55:09Speaker 1: care about it even trying to understand the people that
- 55:11Speaker 1: you speak about. You said it yourself, I don't have
- 55:15Speaker 1: no sympathy for a man who cheats. Not only do
- 55:17Speaker 1: you not care or attempt to understand the people you're
- 55:21Speaker 1: talking about to have any sympathy or empathy, all right,
- 55:24Speaker 1: you are dedicated to deliberately misunderstanding and mischaracterizing others to
- 55:30Speaker 1: make yourself look good. You like to paint other men
- 55:34Speaker 1: as being dishonest and deceptive and morally corrupt. Why because
- 55:38Speaker 1: you're a narcissist, and that's what narcissists do, project their
- 55:41Speaker 1: bs onto other people. The reason you love to paint
- 55:44Speaker 1: men is dishonest, deceptive, and morally corrupt, it's because that's
- 55:47Speaker 1: what you are. See, Derek, I waited to give you
- 55:50Speaker 1: donkey because I wanted to see how you would react
- 55:51Speaker 1: to all of this, and you're reacted by doing what
- 55:54Speaker 1: you've been doing all this time, and that's lying. See.
- 55:58Speaker 1: I saw the first video you post when you first
- 56:00Speaker 1: addressed the allegations. You said that you and your wife
- 56:03Speaker 1: were separated during that time, and that you and Candice
- 56:05Speaker 1: have had a sexual relationship without actually having sex. Listen,
- 56:09Speaker 1: I'm in screw it, molde, ef it, molde. I'm hitting
- 56:12Speaker 1: up old chicks. I really don't care at this point.
- 56:15Speaker 1: One of those people was a girl named Campus. Now
- 56:18Speaker 1: here's the thing, So me and Candice have had a
- 56:20Speaker 1: sexual relationship without actually having sex. Fallacies, nonsense, word salad, lies, denying,
- 56:27Speaker 1: changing definitions. This is textbook narcissism. People lying about what happened,
- 56:31Speaker 1: the now delusion, trying to confuse us, to make us
- 56:34Speaker 1: doubt the reality of the reality of the situation. See,
- 56:37Speaker 1: narcissists are often he'll equipped to have mature discussions or
- 56:40Speaker 1: resolve conflicts, but in their mind they are experts at it. Okay,
- 56:44Speaker 1: he don't even really understand what he's saying, but in
- 56:45Speaker 1: his mind he's being rational, reasonable, incorrect. But the reality
- 56:49Speaker 1: is this nigga just lying. That's why what he's saying
- 56:52Speaker 1: don't make no sense. Okay, we had a sexual relationship
- 56:55Speaker 1: but didn't have sex. That's why it's just an incoherent
- 56:57Speaker 1: rant with no logic because it's a lie. Then hours later,
- 57:01Speaker 1: hours later, Derek Jackson came back online with his wife
- 57:05Speaker 1: to admit that he did cheating, that he was unfaithful
- 57:07Speaker 1: to his wife. Listen to this guy. The truth is
- 57:10Speaker 1: that Derek Jackson was involved with other women outside the marriage.
- 57:13Speaker 1: About involved, I want to be clear. I'm not talking
- 57:15Speaker 1: about just casually kicking nick maybe a lunch or something
- 57:18Speaker 1: like that. I'm talking about that serious as six first name, nigga,
- 57:22Speaker 1: lasting name. Please, Derek, if nobody else has told you
- 57:26Speaker 1: what you did to your wife was wrong, all right.
- 57:28Speaker 1: She had nothing to do with this. She wasn't with
- 57:29Speaker 1: you when you was out here cheating with these women,
- 57:31Speaker 1: so she shouldn't be with you when you're doing damage control.
- 57:33Speaker 1: This story has nothing to do with her. Nothing. And
- 57:36Speaker 1: what sad is you are more concerned about saving your
- 57:39Speaker 1: business than you are about saving your marriage. You are
- 57:41Speaker 1: more concerned about what we think of you than you
- 57:44Speaker 1: are about what your wife thinks of you. King, If
- 57:48Speaker 1: you're gonna use your wife as a human shield like
- 57:50Speaker 1: Nino Brown used that kid as a human shield in
- 57:53Speaker 1: New jack City, at least get her glammed up. Okay,
- 57:57Speaker 1: you got her up there looking like she forgot it
- 57:58Speaker 1: was the second part to the bust of challenge. I
- 58:00Speaker 1: was waiting for her to drop and come up fresh,
- 58:01Speaker 1: but that never happens. And guess what, you don't care.
- 58:04Speaker 1: You didn't care about the backlash she could receive. You
- 58:07Speaker 1: be on social media all the time. You know how
- 58:09Speaker 1: cruel people are. Not only did your wife have to
- 58:12Speaker 1: heal from your infidelity, now she has to heal from
- 58:14Speaker 1: the bullying that she is currently receiving online. But the
- 58:17Speaker 1: narcissist like you don't give a damn because your goal
- 58:20Speaker 1: is a narcissist is to dominate and be perceived as
- 58:23Speaker 1: right at all costs. Do you know the complex your
- 58:27Speaker 1: wife is gonna have now It's impossible to not being
- 58:30Speaker 1: impacted by what people say about you online. Ain't enough
- 58:32Speaker 1: God in Jesus in the world. You can put on
- 58:34Speaker 1: the whole armor of God and God will protect you,
- 58:37Speaker 1: but you still gonna feed into what people are saying.
- 58:40Speaker 1: And you could have protected your queen from all that
- 58:42Speaker 1: because she had nothing to do with it. This is
- 58:44Speaker 1: about you and your behavior. If she forgives you, great,
- 58:48Speaker 1: but that don't mean drag her out and have her
- 58:50Speaker 1: on your arm looking like a damn puppet. Off Crankyacres
- 58:53Speaker 1: and you the chief manipulated, controlling all her movements. But
- 58:56Speaker 1: that's what narcissists do. They deflect a tack project. That's
- 59:01Speaker 1: why he had his wife there to deflect. Then he
- 59:03Speaker 1: started talking about John Gravey because Shade Room asked him
- 59:06Speaker 1: a question. You should have just ignored that, but you
- 59:08Speaker 1: can't because narcissists love to shift attention from what they
- 59:12Speaker 1: are saying and doing. This, Brother Derek Jackson went so
- 59:16Speaker 1: far as to deflect and blame Jesus. Listen, at that point,
- 59:21Speaker 1: I had to be for God. I gave my life
- 59:23Speaker 1: to Christ and my whole life fell apart, my marriage
- 59:26Speaker 1: fell apart. At this point, I'm not seeing my kids
- 59:29Speaker 1: and I really honestly just went to a place of
- 59:31Speaker 1: effic It's the audacity for me. I've never heard a
- 59:35Speaker 1: person say I gave my life to God and now
- 59:36Speaker 1: my life is left up. That's not how that works, Derek.
- 59:39Speaker 1: God told me to tell you stop lying, Nigga. Okay, God, Jesus,
- 59:42Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost, they don't got nothing to do with
- 59:44Speaker 1: your ways. In fact, they told me to remind you
- 59:46Speaker 1: that this is nothing but the devil. That's who should
- 59:48Speaker 1: be getting to blame here. The devil, and the devil's
- 59:50Speaker 1: name is Derek Jackson. You're the liar, you're the manipulator.
- 59:53Speaker 1: You're the narcissist giving your life. The Christ didn't after
- 59:56Speaker 1: your life up. You fed your life up because you
- 59:58Speaker 1: live in a lie and you had to nerve to
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: blame God. You did the same thing to Jesus that
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: you did to your wife. Bought Jesus into it for
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: no reason. But the reason you do this is because
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: you never truly have to take responsibility for their toxic behavior.
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: That's what narcissists do. Narcissists do think like this. The
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: only reason he bought Jesus up is because he never
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: truly wants to take responsibility for his bad behavior. Derek,
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: I decided to give you donkey to day after what
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: I heard you say last night because it confirmed for
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: me what I already knew. You are a textbook narcissist
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: like you need to be studied to gaslight his. Narcissists
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: love to speak in the third person. Why because it
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: distances them from their actions. Listen to this dude yesterday
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: sitting in the car. Listen, I hope he understands that
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: all the accountability in the world is not going to
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: rebuild broken trust, not on a personal level, and even
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: with the public that he's addressing, like even his most
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: loyal supporters at this point will probably have a raised
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: eye brought from this point forward whenever he wants to
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: condemn another man for something like this, and rightfully so,
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: so hopefully he understands that. Nonetheless, I know some people
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: will see this type of video even though he's come
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: forward and he's been completely honest, some people are just
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: going to close the book on Ding. I'm more so
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: on the side of his wife and just basically letting
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: us be a new chapter of how I see him,
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: because I do believe that his content over the years
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: has helped a tremendous amount of people. You know, he
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: tells the truth, He speaks facts and quite honestly him
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: And be real with y'all, I've needed several new chapters
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: in my own life. When gaslighters narcissists feel that not
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: enough people are praising them, they praise themselves. Speaking the
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: third person is a reassurance to the gaslight of narcissists
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: that he is worthy of adoration. Derek, It's just simply
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: time for you to shut the f up forever. Take
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: a break. I know last year with COVID money probably
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: was type because you weren't getting a book for speaking
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: engagements to show up the lot of people. And I
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: know you see your business crumbling before your eyes. But King,
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: just go get help. You need to do some real
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: soul searching. You need to do some real therapy, and
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: you need to fix what's wrong with you. Don't get
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: online that they're trying to project to fleck and attack
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: anyone else. Prove to us that you are not a
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: narcissist by shutting the hell up. I challenge you to
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: disable all your social media and go away for some
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: much vanish. I know as a narcissist, you believe that
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: you can talk to your way out of this situation.
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: But no, because see, if you don't stop now, I
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: know where you're gonna go from here. What's gonna happen
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: is instead of really taking responsibility for your actions, you're
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: gonna continue to deflect and start attacking other people. And
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: that's when it's gonna get bad for you. Because right
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: now it's just Candice well Man. Oh Man, there's so
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: many women that are ready to talk about how you
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: tried to highlight them. And if you don't stop while
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: your ahead, it's gonna get worse. And I know it
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: may feel like you can't get worse, but Derek, it
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: absolutely can just go away for a while. I know
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: you got an extremely fragile ego and shakey self esteem.
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: You're gonna be online looking for the handful of people
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: who's still stupid enough to support you. You're gonna be
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: reposting them, retweeting them to receive more false validation, looking
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: for folks to side with you and tell them that
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: you are right and good and blah blah blah. Well,
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: you can prop your wife up, you can deflect and
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: attack others, blame others, act like you're happily married now,
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: and continue to use this situation to promote that book
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: of lies you have on your website with you and
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: your wife on the cover. But since you the narcissists
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: like to speaking third person, let's end this with Derek
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: Jackson giving a piece of advice to Derek Jackson, let's
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: public evis announcement. Marriages are make a man marriage material.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: See through the media and sometimes firsthand experience, marriage has
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: been marketed as what it could and really should be,
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: a long lasting, beautiful, union. But it's not a magic

- 1:05:37Speaker 1: Shout the Ditty, Shout the Kevin Hart. I don't know
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: what y'all talking about. Shout out. Why are you trying
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: to bring everybody down with you just because you I'm
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: just you did kind of hate on some other people
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: by doing that. Just stay, I'm just shouting them out.
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: You should have shouted out Sharpie Crawl. That's like you
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: get and you shout out all the other cheaters. You
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: should have shouted out JFM, just just for men, just
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: exactly he keeps saying, to be it is real, but
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: the color is not. Listen, I don't know what you're
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: talking about, Joe. Did your book focus more on like
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: your background and upbringing or like the journey once you
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: make it? Made it in the comedy. I wanted to
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: tell people, just how hard it was for me to
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: make it, you know, in this entertainment business and the struggle.
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: It was just being a mixed kid growing up. You know.
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: We talked about systemic racism now, and I really didn't
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: even know what that was, Charlemagne until this is all
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: you know in light now, you know. But I didn't
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: know I was actually a part of it until I
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: started reading my book back in the U in the studio,
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: and I was like, God, damn, I was part of this.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: I was part of this type of systemic racism, being
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: put in certain groups or not being able to do
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: certain shows because of what I was talking about, or
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: what I look like, or you know what I mean.
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: It was just I didn't really know it until I
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: started writing the book and I was like, wow, just
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: how my mom went through her struggles, you know, in
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: the eighties, you know, being an Asian woman raising these
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: kids by herself in America and just dealing with the
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: racism that she had to face. Were you ever able
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: to assimilate Joe a little bit? Did anybody ever mistake
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: you for just a white guy? No? No, no, no.
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: They always looked at me weird, like I had the
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: asal eyes like their light. But then but the roundness
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: wasn't there. They always noticed they were like, what are you?
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: What is that? What is this? Was it very difficult
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: to this book? Was it? Was? It difficult going back
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: on some of the feelings and some of the things
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: that you had to think about. How different? Yeah, the
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: most difficult part was writing about my brother. And you know,
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: you know, it was hard for me to talk about
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: my brother. But I will say this, and I told
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: Charlomagne this before that you know when I when you
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: brought up mental health and you know, you put it
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: out there and and make people will accept it, you know,
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: because a lot of people that have to deal with
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: mental issues, mental health issues, and I hate saying this publicly.
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: You're embarrassed, you know what I mean, especially when you
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: grow up with a brother that has UH, you know,
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: schizophrenia and UH and the and the trauma that it
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: put our family through. And I'm not and I'm not
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: saying my brother's a bad guy. He's you know, he
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: had mental health issues. And it was very strenuous in
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: our family and and it was it was a hard time.
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: But I also went through this time where I didn't
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: want to talk about it. Like I would always go, oh,
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: do you have any siblings. I'd always say, oh, I
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: got two sisters. But I would never say my brother,
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: because I knew once they asked me about my brother,
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: it would go into this whole other world of like, oh,
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: where is he? And I got to tell him that
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: he's in the hospital, and then I got to talk
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: about his mental health issues, and then I felt like
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: I'm the only one, and it just sucked so being
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: able to you know, especially like people like you, Charlemaine.
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: And it's just like how now people are open about
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: mental health and you don't feel alone anymore. So like
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: like like I know how important therapy is now. It
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: is very important. Yeah, man, just yo, I'm telling you
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: showing it. When I read this in the studio, I
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: had to do the audio version. That was the best
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: therapy session of my life. Man, just reading the chapter
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: on my brother alone. I remember I cried at the end.
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: I remember I had to take a break, and I
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: just remember this this weight being lifted, like yo, it's out. Wow,
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: It's finally out. You know what I mean? Everyone knows
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: now and and I love it. And and by the way,
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: I love my brother it's this is no way. I'm
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: not trying to say anything bad my brother's he's one
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: of the funniest guys in the family. It's just he's
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: dealing with, you know, mental health issues and we're not alone.
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: I just want everyone to know that you're not alone.
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: And that's difficult. You were very honest about that, because
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: I'm sure there were times you felt like your life
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: could have been in danger, your mom's life could have
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: been in danger. So many times. Oh man, we had
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: so many cops at the house. You know, it was
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: always physical. There was always jail time for my brother,
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: you know, always in and out of hospital. So yeah,
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: it was it was traumatizing man as a kid, and
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: you know, and you know I didn't like talking about it.
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: I really didn't. You know, how do you feel about that?
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: Because you would be the perfect person to ask, you know,
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: let's say something happens with your brother that is violent
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: and you said he had to go to jail. Is
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: that necessarily right? Because mentally he wasn't right, so he
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: might not have known what he was doing. But do
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: you still put somebody like that in jail or do
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: you say, no, we understand he wasn't in his right
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: mind at the time. Let's continue to give him help
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: and not do jail because he doesn't know what he
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: did wrong. So it was jail really what he should
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: be sent to. I think jail is you know the
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: initial you know what I mean, what he did. You know,
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: he would be physical with people, He would hurt people,
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and they don't know, they're
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: just they're arresting somebody. But immediately he always gets into
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: the you know, immediately he goes right back into the system.
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: He gets he stays in the hospital and you know,
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: he gets the medicine that he needs and the therapy
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: that he needs. But it's it's a struggle with my brother.
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: It's it's it's hard, man. You know. My brother just
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: called me three days ago it was his birthday, and uh,
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: you get you get a glimpse, you get a small glimpse. Man,
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: the window opens and there's Robert and you're just you
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: love it and you enjoy it, and then boom, the
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: window closes and and and that's the hard pill to swallow.
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: That's the part. You're just like, man, you know, So
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: that that's it, it's it's it felt good to be
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: able to talk about that in the book. All Right,
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: we got more with comedian Joe Koi when we come back,
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning Morning. Everybody
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy we are
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. We're still kicking him. A comedian Joe Koi.
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: Ye I had texted Joe Koi also when I was
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: reading it, just to tell him that I thought the
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: book was excellent, just because it's not just about jokes
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: and about being funny, but it really is a hard
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: path that you had to go through to even it's
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: where you are today. It took you like fifteen years, Yeah,
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: pretty much. It took me fifteen years just to get
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: on the Tonight Show and just always dealing with like, oh,
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: I don't think they'll get it. You know, you might
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: want to not talk about that. It's just like stuff
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: like that was just kind of like whack, you know
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: what I mean. But I would listen to it because
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: it was just like, all right, well, this is this
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: is normal, right. I gotta adjust, I gotta I gotta
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: adapt to whatever it is to get me in. But
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: it just sucked. Man, Like you when you started I'm sorry, No,
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: I was just like, you know, no one really knows
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: the struggle of being a half white, half Asian kid
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: being raised by a Filipino mom dad you know, you know,
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: dad moved out, and now here's my mom that just
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: got to this country and she's dealing with racism all
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: around her. But she's just like, even though she's American,
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: she feels like a visitor, so she doesn't want to
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: approach anybody when they're doing something messed up, you know
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: what I mean. And here I am a little kid
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: seeing my mom go through that. It's just like step
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: I didn't like, there's this one story I wrote about
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: my mom while we went upstairs to go claim some
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: prize that we want at the mall, and uh and
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: this kid turned around and pulled his eyes back on
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: my mom. And I just remember, like, like when I
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: wrote about it, just I just I couldn't believe how
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: much trauma that caused me because I knew it by detail,
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I remember my mom
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: putting in her hand on my head, just going he
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: does it, no, Joseph, He's just being funny, Like that's
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: just her accepting the fact that this is normal, you
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: know what I mean. And she's and she's scared to
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: say anything because in her mind, she's a visitor, you
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: know what I mean. So it's just oh, he does it, No, Joe,
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: he's just being funny. But like, no, that's sut up,
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: you know. And and she doesn't need to go through that.
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: And now, like you need to have a voice, and
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: you need to be able to say something. And I'm
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: glad we're in a time that we're in right now
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: where people are vocal and we have platforms that will
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: support that. Now we don't have to wait till six
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: o'clock evening news. And I hope to God that they
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: talk about something that happened locally in Seattle to let
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: the world know that if that's something happens in Seattle,
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: everyone's gonna know about it. We're going to Instagram, We're
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: going to Facebook, We're gonna we're gonna let everybody know
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: what happened. And I'm glad that because it's like, as
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: a kid growing up, you would see all these jokes
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: all the time, like whether it was jokes around Asian
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: people or jokes around Caribbean people or Black people or
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: Jewish people. And when when kids made jokes nine times
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: out of tends, they got it from their parents or
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: family members. But you don't realize how much you can
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: hurt somebody until you get old and you start realizing, Yeah,
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: it's good that we're having these conversations now, so hopefully
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: parents will teach their kids a lot different than we
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: were taught or that you know, we've seen it, you know,
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: in our day, Yeah, exactly, and like now we now
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: we have that voice where we're like, no, you don't
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: have to go through that. You know, I was doing
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: I did this documentary for a guy Tory, right, and
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: we were talking about fat Tuesdays or at the comedy
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: store and uh, and that was one of the rooms
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: that accepted me right away. But like, if you really
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: look out at the show and the reason why it
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: was on a Tuesday night, Like, does anyone really understand
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: why the All Black Show was on a Tuesday night?
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: It's because it's the only night no one wants to
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: go to a club. It's the night that no one
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: wants to pay for a ticket. You gotta beg for
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: someone to come to a free show. But here's the
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: hottest ticket in town, you know what I mean? And
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: it was at the store. It's like, why were those
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: shows okay, you know what I mean? Why why do
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: we have to give him a theme? Oh the black Night,
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: Well let's give it a hip hop name, you know what.
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: And no disrespect guy. Guy did what he had to
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: do because that was the norm. He was just accepting
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: the fact that it was a night, like, thank you
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: for giving me this night. I'm gonna blow it up.
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: And it's to this day still like legend. No one
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: put out as many stars as Fat Tuesdays. Check look
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: at the receipts, you know what I mean, Look at it.
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: LUKEU came out of Fat Tuesdays. From Chris Tucker all
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: the way to to everybody, I can't even name them all,
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: Kevin Hart to everybody came out of that show, you
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: know what I mean. But is it fanful comedians to
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: have to You know, I grew up where a comedy
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: was comedy. I mean, I've heard comedians go at Asian people,
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: and her comedians go at black people, her comedians go
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: at Caribbean and anything. But you know, as a comic,
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: should you have to watch what you say? Or is
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: it all in the vein of is just comedy, I
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: think you need to just be responsible with what you say, right.
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: You got to understand like, yeah, there are people that
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: will be offended and hurt and yeah, you do have
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: the right to change your channel. But I also think
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: as a comic you're also responsible. It's like, you know
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: when you're being hurtful, you know, you know, you know
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: when it's do you know it's not even I think
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: so I believe so, you know what I mean, you
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: know the difference when you hear something you're like, yo, man,
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: that ain't even coming from funny. But think about it, right,
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: think about like an old show, like in Living Color,
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: Mike Tyson ran down on Keenan because he didn't like
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: the way keen and Irans was portraying him, but that
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: it was hilarious, it was funny. Yeah, it was so funny.
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: But that was also the norm back then. It was
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: talk like that back then because you know, society accepted it.
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: And then of course black people were only being a
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: certain way because they knew that was the way to
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: get in into these doors that were like closed, you
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: know what I mean. That wouldn't let us say they're like, oh,
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: we gotta act a certain way. Okay, well then we'll
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: joke around about this because you the people with power
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: are laughing at it. Does that make sense? It's kind
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: of like it's kind of like Asians. It's like, dude, like,
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: we had to do what it was to make you
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: happy to let us in, and that sucks. And I
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: was a victim of that. I had to do that.
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: I was going to ask you that because I mean,
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: you know, I've been watching you for so long, Joe, like,
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: you know, since Chelsea. But when when you started leaning
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: like really like just embracing the Filipino yeah, expect of
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: your life. It seemed like that's when you took off
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: to me, Yeah, exactly, And that's what I always wanted
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: to talk about. But you know, when you go back,
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: you had to figure out how to get in because
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: no one wants to hear about your Asian, your your
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: Filipino mom. You know what I mean. I always got
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: the same note. You know, they were like, oh I
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: don't think Middle America. I'll get that, And I'm like,
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: what the fuck are you guys talking about? My mom
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: was just a mom. She just happens to be Filipino,
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: but she still do a mom, right, I feel like,
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: there are certain things that I universal since you were
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: talking about this story about getting the prize right and
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: she made you guys feel out like a raffle ticket,
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: Like all these raffle tickets to try TV. I feel
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: like my parents would have made us do that too, Yeah,
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: try to win a TV. What about the tupperware joke,
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: Like it's just you know, my mom using cool and
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: containers for tupperware? Like why why does Middle America not
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: gonna get it? Everyone uses that kind of tump aware
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's just like I didn't
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: I didn't understand why I always get those notes? Why
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: why they always fell on? By the way, can I
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: ask you guys a quick question, why does Middle America
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: depend on what the world is listening to? I'm so
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: sick of that an excuse when they go, I don't
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: think Middle America will get it, Well, you know what,
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: the world gets it? Like you still say that now, Yeah,
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: they still say that. They still say that. I'm like, yo,
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: I'm so sick of that excuse. Yeah. I was just
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: talking about that to day. I forgot what I was
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: talking about, but I was like Middle I was like, oh,
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: you know what I was talking about I was speaking
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: about how a few years ago, it's like maybe like
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: four years ago, somebody was like Michael B. Jordan wasn't
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: famous enough to be on SNL. Right, this is what
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: when the exec said, But it's because of that, It's
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: because Middle America didn't know who Michael B. Jordan. That
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: makes no sense to me. Hey, look, I love my
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: fans in Ohio. I'm just saying, who are these executives
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: that keep falling on Middle America as the excuse? It's
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: it's bull I never got that. I just and I
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: just recently got that. I'm not gonna say who, but
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: it was like five years ago it was the same thing.
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: I don't think they'll get it. Middle America is not
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: gonna get I'm like, what are you talking about? I
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: just I just sold out two forums. I just sold
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: out Dubai. I just sold out Philippines. I just sold
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: out New York. Well, what are you talking about? Like
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: the world gets it? Yeah, I'm just saying the world
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: gets it. Why then are we waiting on Omaha? Don't move?
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: We got more with Joe Koy when we come back.

- 1:20:46Speaker 1: Joe Koy Yee, the things that you passed on are
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: just as important as the things that you agree to do,
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: because there's sometimes in life there it might be a
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: great opportunity and you have to really think about it
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: and say, Okay, maybe I shouldn't do this right now
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: at this point in my career, actually might be more
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: hurtful than helpful. Yeah, can you talk about that a
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: little bit? Are you talking about Chelsea or I mean,
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: but well I wrote about I wrote about Chelsea when
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: I passed on her sidekick, you know what I mean.
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: And I was working at Norse from Rex selling shoes chew.
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: Basically I was supposed to be her sidekick, and and
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: we went all the way through you know what I mean?
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: Uh until, like you know, just moments before and I
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: gave her that call. This is why I love Chelsea. Man,
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: she was amazing. I should have recorded the phone call,
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: but I just told her. I was like, I don't
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: want to be I don't want to do that. I
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: want to I want to be known for me like
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: I don't want to do a show where I'm the
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: sidekick or that I want to be Joe Coy. But
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: I love your show, but I just I feel like
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: I need to pursue this. And man, I'm telling you,
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: she cursed me. I wish she was. I wish she
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: was on the phone. Was a positive thing, like, no,
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: I'll tell you you can bleep everything out. She was
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: just like she's like, she was like, you're never gonna
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: get anywhere, Joe, keep listening to these agents. You don't
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: know a good thing when it hits you an act
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: like she was laying into me. Good luck, this show's
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: gonna be a hit. You go for yourself. No, no, no, no, no, Chelsea,
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: I'm sorry. No no, no, no, no, no. Worst decision ever.
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: Watch what happens Joe worse and then just hangs up
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: on me face. But yeah, you want to be my
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: little nuggie. Yeah, but exactly still let you be a regular. Yeah. Unbelievable, unbelievable.
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: That's why she's she's the best. She knew, she knew
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: what that panel wanted, She knew what that panel was
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: all about. She knew that she had to like that
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: that panel was a unit you know what I mean,
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: And she needed all the pieces. Yes, Chelsea was the
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: face and the voice and you know what I mean.
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: But she also knew that it took the three other
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: people on that panel for that show to just blow up.
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: And that's why she's amazing, because she recognized that she's
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: amazing by the way. She oh, by the way, by
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: the way, she was one hundred percent right, which hung
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: up the phone because the show took off and I
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: was working at norshom Rac and my ex wife at
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: the time picked me up at norshom Rac and as
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: we're driving home, she goes, do you know Chelsea Handler?
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: And I go why? And she's like, her show's hysterical.
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: And I was just like me. When I think of
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: Chelsea Handler show, I think of you. I think you,
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: Chewie Brad and Nnie Love. I'm dead serious. Those are
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: the four people I think about on the panel. On
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: the panel all the time. Oh man, I love you. Man,
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: that show is amazing. And now that's another thing. She
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: was like the modern day Johnny Carson. Remember the old rumor, like, well,
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: not a rumor, it was a real thing. When Johnny
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: Carson liked you, He called you over to the couch
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: and if he called you the couch, you made it.
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: You're you're gonna make it. That's what Chelsea was. If
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: you if you killed on that panel, you've made it.
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: And here's another thing about Chelsea a little inside. If
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: you sucked on that panel, she would literally tell the
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: booking guy in front of everybody, like she'd whisper, but
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: basically be like, it's the last time. Where did it?
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: All the fucking time? Man, Chelsea would do it all
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: the time. I swear it was funny. Every time there
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: was someone new on the panel, I would just like
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: it would always be after the first break and right
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: when we went to commercial, she just called him over
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: and be like, Yeah, that's the let's go ahead and
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: let's end that one no more. Wow, this is your weekend,
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: right because you gotta. You got a movie that you
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: supposed to be producer called Easter Sunday. Yeah, can you

- 1:25:02Speaker 1: watched and UH called me in and uh asked, asked
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: for a movie idea, and I pitched Easter Sunday and
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: he fell in love with it. So wow, So you
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: already had that idea in your mind and everything. Yeah,
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: I already had the movie already sold to Dan Lynn.
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: Dan already was in on it, and uh, it wasn't
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: really moving. And then when Steve said he wanted to
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: know anything, and I just pitched the same movie to him,
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: and he was like, let's go. Why Easter Sunday. What
