Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro, host of the hit podcast, Family Secrets. How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even say hello? And what if your past itself was a secret and the time had suddenly come to share that past with your child? These are just a few of the powerful and profound questions we'll be asking on our 11th season of Family Secrets. Listen to season 11 of Family Secrets on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, my undeadly darlings.

It's Teresa, your resident ghost host. And do I have a treat for you. Haunting is crawling out from the shadows, and it's going to be devilishly good. We've got chills, thrills, and stories that'll make you wish the lights stayed on. So join me, won't you? Let's dive into the eerie unknown together. Sleep tight, if you can. Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, a young lady named Lima called this morning. Dern, get it off your chest.

We missed her call this morning, but she wanted to know if liars, cheaters, and thieves are actually born like that. So I'm sure she was hurt from a dude, and she wanted to know. She wanted some clarity. So that is the question, 800-585-1051. What are your thoughts, Sean? I wish my therapist was available right now because we actually had a discussion about this. And that's when I said, you know, the thing about kids lie for survival. You know, survival may not be the right word, but kids lie when they know that they're going to get in trouble. And nobody taught kids how to lie.

Your kid could be three, four years old, but if they're aware that there's consequences to their actions, right? They did something that they know they had no business doing and they think that they might get, you know, in trouble for it. They're going to say they didn't do it. So that's just a natural instinct. That's self-preservation in a lot of ways. But do they see that from somewhere, whether it's a cartoon or whether a friend, right? And the reason I say that is, is my, my, my youngest kids my youngest kids right my nine my eight and my six-year-old right sometimes i think they should be lying when they don't lie and the reason i say that is is let's say um they hear a bad word on a youtube video they're watching yeah they'll come running upstairs and say hey dad

i just heard this on my kids do that too or if me and my wife are out and they want a snack, they'll call and be like, hey, can I have a snack? I wasn't like that. If I heard a curse, I just kept it moving. If I want a snack, I'm going to go get it. But that's different because we tell our kids these are bad words. So if we tell our kids these are bad words, they want to come back and report that.

You know they were bad words as a kid. Would you ever call your mom and dad and be like, I just heard a bad word? Or are you going to keep listening to that rap song? No, because I knew better than just to call my mom and dad for nonsense. That's the other thing we need to talk about. It's too accessible to our parents nowadays. I shouldn't be able to just call my mom.

When I used to call my mom and dad for something that was going on at the house, it was because it was a real serious situation. You're right. Okay? Yeah, because my kids call me for some BS sometimes. I'm like, why are you calling me? I honestly don't think I've ever done that ever in my life. I've never just called my parents randomly.

I didn't have a real, first of all, I couldn't. Because when I used to get dropped off at the house, it'd be 3 o'clock. I used to have to stay at the house in third grade, by the way, until an adult came there. We didn't have no cell phones or nothing like that. You know what I mean? So who the hell was I calling anyway?

Yeah, you're right. But now we're off to another tangent. Okay, you're right. But my point is, I feel like a lot of that is self-preservation with kids. So I don't think liars are born that way. And cheaters, when it comes to infidelity, we're definitely not born that way. That's definitely a learned behavior. A learned behavior.

Through music, through watching television, through our friends. Through my daddy. My daddy looked me in my eyes. When I called my dad. Salute to my dad. I love my pops. When I called my dad cheating back in the day, my dad looked at me and said, you only got one woman?

You know what I'm saying? He said, when you get older, you're going to understand. My daddy said that to me when I was like 16, 17 years old. So, yes. Hello, who's this? This is Lynette. This is Lynette. Lynette, good morning.

Good morning. How are you today? We're good. Now, you heard the topic. What's your thoughts? My thoughts is this. And this is my opinion. Okay.

It's supposed to be natural life, like habitual life. But men, they're just going with it. Stop. That's not right. Stop. That ain't true. Stop. We all humans at the end of the day.

Stop. And I think they just get that cheap part from their death. First of all, by your logic, since yesterday was Easter Sunday, the first woman to ever deceive somebody was Eve.

Okay? Adam was cool. God said, don't eat the apple. Adam minded his damn business. But who went and ate that apple? Huh? Ain't nobody

do nothing on the path. Ain't nobody do nothing on the path. That's what it's saying. The bottle of net. Man, that is so funny. Somebody bring up the bottle. He's like, ain't nobody dwelling on the pad.

Hello, who's this? Man, that is hilarious. This is Talia. Hey, Talia. Good morning. Good morning. How are you guys? Doing pretty good.

So you know the question. A lady called this morning wanted to know if lies and cheaters were born like that. Right. And as far as the liar part, nobody teaches their kids just to be a liar. First thing they do is just teach you right from wrong. And then as of that part, as growing up, it's up to you to choose on if you're going to be a compulsive liar or you're going to choose to tell a little white lie here and there when it needs to be told.

That is very true. And as far as the cheating part, now that's there. Yeah, you definitely learned that from, I don't know, your stepdaddy, your daddy, your cousin, somebody. No, that's definitely learned behavior. That's absolutely learned behavior. Ebony, good morning. Good morning.

How you feeling, Ebony? I feel pretty good, and you? Good, good, good. Where you calling from? I'm calling from Houston. Houston. All right, we're asking. Lady called this morning.

She wanted to know if liars and cheaters are born like that. What's your opinion, Ebony? Well, I think I'm going to bring it back to the biblical saying, the fall of man. Okay, because man made that first fight, or the woman made me do it, right? So I'm thinking about faith. When you have a newborn, they cry, and then you run in there and get them, and they stop. Then you put them down, and then they cry, and then you run in there and get them, and they stop.

So that's a crying lie. And then as they get older, just like Charlemagne said, when they get in trouble, they lie to get out of trouble. So it's up to the parents to teach that child. Because if you let that baby lay there, then they're going to stop doing that crying. I don't like that. I feel like that's cruel and unusual punishment. That's something me and my wife debate about all the time.

When my wife, when she was like, sleep training the kids, you got to sleep training the kids. I'm like, man, I can't stand to sit there and just let the baby cry until you fall asleep. No. I feel like you traumatizing them a little bit. I try, and then after about 30, 45 seconds, I'm like, nah, I can't do that. Cause you just don't want them to cry, cry, cry.

But that's part, that's part, that's part of the problem. Why a lot of my kids didn't leave my bed until about two years old. I also don't think that's a cry lie. I just think that these kids want comfort for the moment. So they want to be held. You know what I mean? And then when you hold them, they stop crying. And then when you lay them down and they realize they're not being held no more,

they cry again. I don't think that's a cry lie. Yeah, but then you got kids that's in your bed to two years old, and that's a problem. Well, you got to sleep train the kids. I got that going on right now. We got the 18-month-old. 800-585-1051.

Now, if you just joined us, a lady called this morning. Her name was Lima. She wanted to know this. She wanted to know if you are a liar or a cheater, are you born like that? That is the question. Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag.

This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.
