Starting point is 00:04:15 So keep it black. Keep it black. I agree with you. Keep it black because when you go in that store and they don't know what your kid identified as, they're going to look at them as other. But when you stay with your black woman, they're going to look at them as others. But when you stay with your black woman, they're going to know your kids are black when they go in that supermarket or they go in that mall.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Keep it black on black. I feel like black, African, it looks like the African from our forefathers when we came here. And everybody see us black. They know us.

Doing it, and I'm doing it on my own terms because I kind of backed away from the industry because it became too much for me to still do it. And then find someone like Amp who believed in me and allows me to be who i am yeah because you know in this business they try to change you to meet a certain criteria and i never fit into that yeah criteria and didn't want to and i love that i love it and and so for the rolling stones magazine greatest 200 singers of all time yeah the greatest one of singers of
Starting point is 00:16:23 all time how did how do you feel being left out of that? I don't feel anything. I don't pay any attention to that. That's somebody behind a desk who doesn't really know what they're talking about. And that's right. How could you leave Celine Dion off? Right. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:16:35 How could you? Mm-hmm. She's a great, you know, how could you? Yeah. So I don't pay attention to that. I don't pay attention to awards and all that, even though I have of everything that of musically but it doesn't mean anything what means matters to me and which has kept me with my sold-out shows that I'm proud of is my people coming to see me and paying their hard-earned money that's what keeps me
Starting point is 00:16:58 going yeah I do the Rolling Stone clearly those people are culturally clueless I mean they leaving people like you celine diana but see i was never played on bh1 or mtv none of my videos because they always said i was too urban and i only had a pop record with never knew love that's the only one they allowed to cross over i wonder you said something earlier you said that you never had the machine behind you and it's interesting because you can see how that might still impact you now when it comes to these lists right exactly when you think about it like back in the day when mtv i want my mtv and they didn't want to play michael you know it was the president of the company that said if you don't play him i'm going to expose that you're racist and i don't think
Starting point is 00:17:38 really anything has changed i think you have to have and back then i didn't have that kind of person that would go on the front line for me. Right. But Michael did. And I'm glad he did. Because just imagine you not hearing Thriller the way it was or being exposed to all those wonderful videos that he did. And they didn't acknowledge his 40th anniversary of Thriller or anything at the Grammys or American Music Awards. How did they pick and choose who got the machine back then, though? Because I feel like back then you really needed talent to get back then, you really needed talent to get a deal.
Starting point is 00:18:07 You really needed talent to get a deal. That's why my audience is predominantly black, because BET and all those black outlets played my videos, you know, and black radio supported me so much. So that's why I'm able to survive. That's why I don't understand why a lot of black artists, like, don't go back to the black publications and things like that, that made them. You know why. Well, I know why. They think white ice is cold.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Always. Why? I have no idea. I don't understand that. I never understand why they think vanilla ice cream is colder than chocolate. I think it's because they want that mass look. You i mean but you could have that let me tell you something i went to oh what's the girls group they came to charlotte and they sold out the arena there was nothing there but black people oh girl escape escape escape yes yeah so what's wrong with the
Starting point is 00:19:01 black dollar i definitely get what you're saying. My generation, they also feel like, because I don't, although I'm a part of them, they feel that's some type of advanced validation when you get, like, they call it the crossover. Right. And people, I did a show for Fox, sitcom on Fox. Rel. Rel, yep. Yep, shout out to the show, Rel. And I was on it with Sinbad. He played Rel's dad. Oh, I love Sinbad. It was amazing, right? I love him, Rel. Yep. Yep. Shout out to the show, Rel. And I was on it with Sinbad. He played Rel's dad. It was amazing. I love him too. Like the show, people were selling me because people was only used to seeing me on like Wild N' Out and all that type of stuff, you know, more production with black people. And then they were like, oh, that's your crossover. Fox is your crossover. It's like, you really made it now. I really made it because I'm on Fox, you know, working around all these white people.
Starting point is 00:19:47 No, I been made it. And then still, I still ain't make it. That sitcom wasn't like the cream of the crop for me yet. I'm still not where I want to be in terms of, you know, just where I'm going. Right. But I didn't consider that as my crossover. That's another show that I'm on. That's another stepping stone.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Right. Exactly. So I get exactly what you're saying and that's what we think we think when we cross over to that pop we've made it why are we why do we want to be so accepted and i never really want i just wanted to be accepted i i wasn't good at smooching you know i wasn't chalamet i i wasn't good at at doing that and You know I wasn't, Charlamagne. I wasn't good at doing that. And I didn't want to go to the parties and have to meet this one. And I didn't like auditioning. Yeah, I know that's right. Do you like it? No.
Starting point is 00:20:33 I know. They look at you like you're crazy. But they make it so hard for you. I won't do it. Or they'll act like it. All right, we got more with Stephanie Mills. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. Mills when we come back don't move it's the Breakfast Club good morning the Breakfast Club morning everybody it's DJ Envy Charlamagne Tha Guy we are the Breakfast Club let's get back into it it's the Breakfast Club good morning I got a question about Michael too because I want to know I will answer okay good so is it true that you and Michael made date? I called it dating. How was that? It was wonderful. Michael was gentle. He was kind, very determined, knew where he wanted to go, and we just had fun. Yeah. He used to come to the Wiz all the time.
Starting point is 00:21:17 So was he a smooth criminal? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. He was a smooth criminal. Couldn't wait to say that. All right, cool. I loved him, that afro and chocolate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:28 So why did he change all that? I think that's what people get Michael misconstrued. And, you know, they'll label Michael Tom as an Uncle Tom or, you know, a coon because of that. I got to be strategic because that's my baby. But Michael wanted to be the king of pop. He had a fetish with Elvis Presley. And he had his eyes on Lisa Presley when she was very young. I think he always knew he wanted to because he felt like that was the epitome.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Yeah. You know? And I think he really wanted to be king. But then when he got over there, they showed him that you still. Still a nigga. Yeah, yeah. Damn. And it broke his heart.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Yeah. Did y'all have a relationship even up until his passing? No. He was too different. Yeah. I couldn't relate to that, Michael. Okay. It had gone too far.
Starting point is 00:22:18 But I think he knew that it had gone too far. But what can you do? Right. You can't go back. At this point, yeah. You can't go back. Because we went to the opening of the Atlantis and he asked me to come he asked to see me and I didn't go because I was rehearsing and I often wondered what he wanted what he wanted to tell me he probably wanted to to tell me something. But it had gone too far, and I couldn't relate. And Michael was taught the moonwalk by my ex-husband, Jeffrey Daniel.
Starting point is 00:22:52 I went to those rehearsals. I know everybody claimed that they did not. Jeffrey Daniel taught Michael the moonwalk and all those things. But the Motown people, they don't always give people credit. They're taught not to give people credit. I love giving people credit for what they do for me because you can't do this by yourself but um you know michael never gave him credit and he should have it's just interesting to me how you know i always wonder like what can make a person like totally lose their blackness and have you seen somebody lose their blackness or
Starting point is 00:23:26 fall out with black people and find a way to get back with the community because it feels like once you once you turn your back on us we we turn our back on you forever yeah but look at it you know i can remember a time people not gonna like this either but i can remember a time when michael would be at the awards and you would have to get in a line to see him. I never did that. I'm not getting in a line to see nobody. Ain't nobody that important. Nobody's more important than God.
Starting point is 00:23:58 And I think there's no one that's, you know, like some people say, well, how can you say something about Oprah or something about Gail? Aren't you afraid? I fear God. And you know that. You know that, Chalamet. That's right. I only fear your god i don't feel a backlash i mean i'm 66 years old right they're gonna do you know what i'm saying
Starting point is 00:24:11 but i think and nobody's above critique like nobody i don't care who you are and how much money you have because you could lose that look at har Harvey Weinstein. I remember a certain person calling him God. I, you know, Charlie Rose. Who would have thought? You know, Matt Lauer. He was kind of arrogant. He was arrogant. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:33 But I just don't think that anybody's underappreciated. But I do think Michael knew he went too far. And you got to remember, towards the end of his career, he went to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. And he even wanted to give Pops, Minister Farrakhan, his catalog. And Pops wouldn't take it. And he had a lot of Muslims around him towards the end. Michael never forgot he was black. I think he just got caught up in that ride.
Starting point is 00:25:00 That ride can be vicious, as we see with other people that are white dealing with the britney spears and and and and i go back to them because i really see how the business has tormented them and the people around them um the movie pride seven deadly sin story it's gonna be on lifetime yes with with uh nephew tommy who did a brilliant job. He plays my son Gabe. And Kenya King, who's a Canadian actress. And Erica Campbell came in to play Pastor Trey. This is your first feature? My first feature.
Starting point is 00:25:35 That's crazy. My first feature. So since Broadway and everything else, nobody's decided Stephanie Miller should be acting? They wouldn't give me a job. Damn. They wouldn't. Do you want to do more? Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:25:47 I got the bug now. But I'm not auditioning. You're not? No. Tell them, Jess. She's not auditioning, so don't ask her. What role would you want to play? Mothers.
Starting point is 00:25:57 I mean, I could play a mother, you know, an older sister. But mothers, I want to do a Christmas. Yes, being a therapist. Or I want to play a Christmas yes oh my therapist or I want to play somebody really tough and like gangster I could see that too I can see that too now until you it's a see your size shorter than you when does the movie like that like that movies April 8th, okay. And then Black to Broadway is February 28th, right?

Shout out to Russ Parr, dog. Shout out to Russ Parr.
Starting point is 00:27:29 That's when I first met Charlemagne. Yep. Y'all know he's a good actor? Who, Charlemagne? Yeah. That's a goddamn lie, man. You ain't never seen ringside? Classic.
Starting point is 00:27:37 You ain't never seen him act? Should've won an Oscar. That's a goddamn lie. That's where I first met this man. I ain't gonna lie, dog. He showed up professional. He knew his lines, and he had a few of them. Yeah. He had a few of them. He had a few of them. He had a few of them. He had a couple of scenes.. I ain't gonna lie, dog. He showed up professional. He knew his lines. And he had a few of them. He had a few of them.
Starting point is 00:27:46 He had one line. He had a few. He had a couple scenes. But I ain't gonna lie, bro. You really showed up and did your thing. He was a true professional. That's when I met him, like, I don't know, eight years ago. Now we gotta thank you, Morris Chestnut.
Starting point is 00:27:55 And things that came up for you. Now you think he Morris Chestnut now. First of all, Morris Chestnut thinks that I'm him. Yo, shut up. That's what he said. I didn't make this up. He started that. But things have been on the up since then for you, though, brother.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Man, you know, it's always good to have a job. You know what I'm saying? Let's go back to the beginning for people that don't know who you are. Young man from Philly. Had football dreams. High school to football. College to football. And then decided that football wasn't the key.
Starting point is 00:28:19 The answer. Yeah. You know, a lot of times, like, you know, our losses can really be lessons if you've got enough. You know, if you can really see it for what it is so it's like um you know i just always thought i was gonna play you know football in the nfl whatnot like since a little boy went all the way through pop warner got a scholarship and whatnot but it's like you know what i figured out is that it's not always it's not all about having a skill set and this really crosses genres anyway you know i'm saying you gotta know the right people you gotta have the right politics
Starting point is 00:28:44 going on and you know I had a couple injuries. I was getting in a little bit of trouble. You know, I didn't end up making it. But, you know, in hindsight, it definitely was one of my biggest lessons. You an Eagles fan? Oh, for sure. Lee Green. It was a tough loss.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Congratulations. I'm a Cowboy fan. Congratulations. That's okay. So then a friend of y'all invited you to L.A. Blind? Yeah, you know, it was very blind, but I had the blindfold on me already. So, like I said, I got in a little bit of trouble.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Couldn't get a job. I couldn't really figure nothing out. I had two friends. They really like me. I call them cousins, but, you know, not by blood. We black. We understand. I got you.
Starting point is 00:29:18 I got you. You know, I'm the right man. You got his brother. You know what I'm saying? You started training out in L.A.? Mm-hmm. Yeah, so they were boxed. You know anything about training? Just like, well, I football train, so this is what I'm going to do. No, no, yeah. You got his brother. You know what I'm saying? Right. He's on the training now in L.A. Mm-hmm. Yeah, so they were boxers. You know anything about training?
Starting point is 00:29:26 He's like, well, I football train, so this is what I'm going to do. No, hell no. But the cast I'm talking about, shout out to Leon and Leroy, they were boxers. So I kind of just hanging around the gym, finessed a job, personal training. So somebody came up and just asked me to audition. Super small role. I hope it never sees the light of day. I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:29:42 I appreciate it. It's not on TV? No, hell no. It's called Super Slumber Horror Movie. Some crazy slumber party slaughter. You didn't even make TV. The more your star rise, it's going to come out. It's going to come out.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Somebody's going to put it on Amazon or something. It was funny. One of the producers in the back was like, I think it's a porno. I was like, it's not a porno. And so I showed up. I did it. I booked it.
Starting point is 00:30:01 And it wasn't enough, a couple thousand dollars. But it was enough to kind of pique my interest. I had some natural skill set but i wasn't like the best at it yeah so at that point i started to um you know apply myself to get the head shots and get into a class and you know as things started going you get deeper in it you start doing the reading getting into therapy and all the things that that it takes to really sharpen this tool but it takes work though how did the tyler Perry thing? They said that he actually walked in wearing his Madea outfit as you were auditioning. So that had to be kind of strange and weird.
Starting point is 00:30:28 That's crazy. Six foot six walking in all dressed up. You don't know how tall he is. Yeah. It's crazy. He's like a basketball player walking through. But, yeah, so it was like that was a long audition process. Maybe over the span of like four or five months.
Starting point is 00:30:43 You know, he was auditioning in a few different shows for like plenty of different roles at the same time yeah so it's a um you know it's like a gauntlet you're going in for this role this there's different tv show and you know maybe like three or four auditions into it we had like some type of callbacks they brought us to atlanta and um he was in the middle of shooting something while he was coming down to look at the auditions and anybody that knows him like he don't got no time for nothing. He's doing 12 things at once. You think he's Jamaican, he got 50 different jobs. So, you know, on his lunch break,
Starting point is 00:31:09 from shooting something with Madea, he came in to check out what was going on. We went to dress up. That's kind of crazy. But it was, you know, it put into perspective how hard he works. Right. And how much tunnel vision you need
Starting point is 00:31:20 to really get done what you're trying to do in this business. And that was for the half and the half notch, right? Yeah. Okay, okay. A long time ago, yeah yeah and so when did you get p valley p valley was probably like we did nine seasons of the half and half knots i think we went off the air maybe in like 2020 we probably stopped filming maybe 2018 2019 and i had booked it maybe like 2019 so for the last season of the half and half knots in the first season of p valley we were shooting
Starting point is 00:31:41 them at the same time which was crazy because back then in the first season of P-Valley. We were shooting them at the same time, which was crazy because back then in the first season, we shot on Tyler Perry Studios. So I was having a couple days that were crazy. We were like, you know, I would shoot a 10-hour, 11-hour day over here, you know, 6 to 7 over here, go take a shower and clock in 8 to 6 a.m. for P-Valley. But it was just like... And that's two different roles and two different scripts
Starting point is 00:32:02 and two different... Yeah, it was definitely, you know, it definitely was difficult, you know, for those few days. But these are the problems that we ask for, you know what I'm saying? When you have time to do push-ups. I don't know push-ups no more. In between sets, you know? Yeah, yeah. Now, you say you were playing football.
Starting point is 00:32:20 And this is a question that I ask every football player or anybody that's played football. Would you allow your child to play football especially because you had a bad back surgery so yeah for sure i had yeah knee surgeries like plenty concussions it's managed it's different nowadays you know with all the science and everything that we know so i would probably say i mean i want to i want to be a dream killer i'm gonna play you know i want to be tough and whatnot i got two boys now congratulations but i Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you. But I do think that I would be a fool to not apply some of the things that we know now. I wouldn't want him to play my position. I was a running back.
Starting point is 00:32:51 It's just constant contact. Maybe a little wide receiver or quarterback or something. Yeah. All right. We got more with Tyler Lepley when we come back. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got our co-host, Jess Hilarious, joining us. And we have Tyler Lepley in the building. Charlamagne?
Starting point is 00:33:08 And Pete Valli, we getting season three of that? Oh, yeah. I feel like it's my show. I'm like, absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Why are you asking? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, season three got greenlit. Shout out to Katori Hall. Yes. Matter of fact, so, look,
Starting point is 00:33:23 I heard when they was auditioning, when they was doing the screen test for the chemistry read, for who was going to be Big Bone, I heard that your name was in the mix. Yeah, man. Yeah. Yeah, your girl stole that from you, man.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Hey, shout out to me. My bones ain't that big, obviously. Miracle Waller. Miracle Waller. Yeah, yeah, Miracle Man. She always take us out. Damn, man.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Tyler made that call. I know somebody. I know somebody. I know somebody. there to. Damn, man. Tyler made that call. I know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody. Stop it, yo, man. They came to talk to me. Who you want? Jeff's a miracle.
Starting point is 00:33:51 He pick miracle. Damn, man. Jesus. No, no. I wasn't like that, though. Now, he met Miracle on set, though. Yeah, I met her before that. No, I was going to say
Starting point is 00:34:01 y'all already know her. Damn. I auditioned for that four times, yo. I auditioned for that four times, yo. I auditioned for it four times. The first season, the second season.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Yo, what's up, Katori? What's up with you? They saying I can't, I don't got the accent. They saying that I, that you, they don't be saying that. Where you got to be from?
Starting point is 00:34:18 Where you got to be from? Mississippi. A place that ain't even real. Like, no, Mississippi. That ain't real. What do you mean? But Chocolisa,
Starting point is 00:34:23 that ain't even real. I get what you're saying you know i'm saying that's like that's like me auditioning for black panther like oh you got to talk like they're doing wakanda where that's at yeah i mean so but i i get it because i i can't be country but that's like what i was talking about earlier with leah daniels butler it's like she continues to go back you've been there four times that means they like you yep they're gonna keep bringing you back absolutely um absolutely but yeah i just i had heard i had heard that because miracle was the only one that actually did the chemistry yeah but i had asked
Starting point is 00:34:51 like who else because a lot of times with chemistry they have a few people so we can see right right right um but i i think the only one the only other person they brought up was you yeah yeah this is before y'all was a couple and all that yeah yeah so i remember i was shooting the first season of harlem and um congrats on that, yeah. So I remember I was shooting the first season of Harlem. Congrats on that, too. Appreciate it. We got the new season on right now on Amazon Prime. Had to drop that.
Starting point is 00:35:14 But yeah, I remember we were shooting the first season, and I had a day off, and Katori hit me, and she was like, yeah, do you mind just doing some chemistry reads with us so we can see the chemistry between Diamond and his potential love interest? We didn't know her name was going to be Big Bone at the time. Right. I think it was maybe in March or whatever year that was, 2020. And so I had met her on FaceTime. And then I remember a couple months later, I had showed up to my friend's dinner party. Or he was having a birthday party.
Starting point is 00:35:40 He was having a dinner. Unbeknownst to me, we had a mutual friend. She was there. And between the time I had met her on FaceTimest to me, we had a mutual friend. She was there. And between the time I had met her on FaceTime and that point, she had booked it. So now I knew
Starting point is 00:35:48 she was about to be working with me. I know what it's like to transition into this business. You know, it can be a lot. You know, coming from where she's coming from into something like this,
Starting point is 00:35:56 especially something like P-Valor. You got an accent. There's so many things you can have over there. You know, she was just my friend at first, and really that's how I was going into it.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Let me just kind of be like, you know, big bro and kind of just, you know what I'm saying? Oh, we just had this at first, and really that's how I was going into it. Let me just kind of be like, you know, big bro and kind of just, you know what I'm saying? Oh, we just had this conversation today. Big bro. You see how big bro? That's why we don't do big bros. We just had this conversation.
Starting point is 00:36:14 You was big bros. Tyler, you was big bros. He was big bros. He just needs a nigga's blue face to talk about. That's what I'm talking about. That's why you don't allow big bros. I like that. I just kind of went to school a little bit
Starting point is 00:36:26 or just be any help that she may need. Cause you know, 95% of her scenes are with me. It's kind of like everything I go through on Harlem with Megan, all my stuff was with her. So, you know, it behooves us to have a cool relationship. You don't wanna work with somebody you don't like. But yeah, we hit it off and we just clicked so hard that it just was what it was. So by the time we started clicked so hard that it just was what it was.
Starting point is 00:36:46 So by the time we started shooting on set, it already was what it was. How does that work in this era? Because to me, that sounds perfectly normal. But then you see all of these situations where an employee hooked up with an employee. Now it's a scandal. What is that? Y'all got to disclose that to the production of the studio? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:01 It's about communication, I think is your best friend And just kind of Knowing what's going on And also And also Like compartmentalizing What's going on It's like yeah
Starting point is 00:37:10 That's my girl But when we show up on set We here to do work That's right But dad what happens When you and Miracle at home Arguing about something Right
Starting point is 00:37:17 It could be something Y'all arguing Because every couple gets to it And you gotta go to work The next day Y'all not really talking But now y'all gotta turn it on Yeah
Starting point is 00:37:24 How is that I know how to do that You better Get your But now y'all got to turn it on. Yeah. How was that? I know how to do that. You better get right. But does she know how to do it? You go against me, it's on. Right. No, but all jokes aside, yeah. Has that happened? Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:37:35 I mean, the big bro told her that. So we already, you know what I'm saying? We already talked that into that real quick. No, we've been, you know, we got the type of connection where, like, you know, like, this shit on the surface always rolls off the sleeve, you know I mean, so it's like we ain't never been done crazy like that. I mean There was a whatever was on your shoulder rolls off the sleeve. Like, that's what it's supposed to do. We didn't even know what the sound of it was, right? We just like, bro. That's like, yo,
Starting point is 00:38:06 that reminds me of, I don't know if he said it with y'all or Big Boi, or in the A-book, he said that, he said, sometimes you gotta think about things how you don't wanna think about things.
Starting point is 00:38:13 He said, what that mean? He said, I don't know, it just sounds weird. It makes sense, though. How does she feel when you gotta do scenes with Miss Megan? Ugh.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Ooh. You know, she's, um, she's a professional, too, man. She understands that, you know, as much as she's a professional, too, man. She understands that. You know, as much as she's a professional, she understands that I'm a professional. You know what I'm saying? And it's like, and it's also great that she's been in some of those, you know, she's been in a scene like that with me and she's been on set.
Starting point is 00:38:36 She sees how it is. And she kind of understands that, you know, it's a muscle that you turn on and turn off. Yeah. So it's not even, you know, you got all type of sound people and cameras and it's like, it's way more awkward than it looks on TV turn off. Yeah. So it's not even, you know, we got all type of, all type of sound people and cameras and it's like, it's way more awkward than you,
Starting point is 00:38:47 than it looks on TV. Right. Even if it's a girl or not, it's still, it still gets that way. How was, how was the first time you had to do that though?
Starting point is 00:38:55 The first sex scene or the first love scene, let's just say. Like, period in life? No, not, I mean on film. On film? No, I'm saying like,
Starting point is 00:39:02 I'm saying like, when I lost my virginity. But you asking that, man. You sound like it started like, Nah, cause he trying to over, cause I mean the first time is just weird. Yeah, yeah'm saying like... What you asking that, man? You sound like it started like... No, because he trying to over, because I mean,
Starting point is 00:39:06 the first time, it's just weird. Yeah, yeah, for sure. You want to ask him, he got hard? What you want to ask him, yo? What about your little ass scene
Starting point is 00:39:13 in that movie? Did you have time to even get hard in the scene? No. That's it. Go ahead, Tyler. That's because
Starting point is 00:39:20 I've been doing it, you know, with The Lord's Blessing, man, I've been doing it for a while. So it was probably like, yeah, even a decade ago, probably one of the first couple seasons of Have and Have Nots. And it was definitely very awkward. As an actor, you kind of got to figure out
Starting point is 00:39:36 what your process is and how you break into things and break out of it to do it without drinking in the bag. You know what I'm saying? For real. So it was like, you know, figuring all that out was a learning process. But it was cool. You know, I was on set with professionals. And, you know, I kind of learned how to be, you know, when you're having new people come on set, you know.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Right. You're supposed to welcome them with open arms, have open communication. Yeah. Is this okay? Is this not okay? Right. And that's how you kind of get through it until you figure out how to do it and be comfortable in it. Is social media a gift and a curse?
Starting point is 00:40:07 Because you are like an internet darling, but then it's just like you see everything that y'all got going on. Yeah. You know? Was that new for you? Yeah, for sure. You know, because I had never, I've always been like a private person. And, you know, that's definitely one of the downsides with being in the open about anything. It doesn't matter if it's my girl or my kids, my parents.
Starting point is 00:40:30 You know what I'm saying? You open things up to the trolls in this world. Right. And it's like the one reason I feel like I've always been private. You know, people think it's secret. That's secrecy. It's privacy. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:42 And the one reason I've always been um you know private with my private life is is you know i'm just conscious of the fact that this is the life that i chose and everything that comes with it i'm cool with you know i'm saying my family didn't choose this right you know so like i've always been conscious of uh i've always been conscious of you know just just that aspect of it so when you know back to your question you know that that is that is part of the downside with it it's like you know it's great to win in front of everybody. But if you in front of everybody and you lose, you're going to talk about that, too. So it's like it's just one of these things.
Starting point is 00:41:12 All right. We got more with Tyler Lepley when we come back. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Hey, guys, I'm Kate Max.

Starting point is 00:45:58 But the gag is, not everything is a mess. Sometimes it's just living. Yeah, things like J-Lo on her third divorce. Living. Girls' trip to Miami-Lo on her third divorce. Living. Girl's trip to Miami. Mess. Ozempic. Messy skinny living. Restaurant stealing a birthday cake.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Mess. Wait, what flavor was the cake though? Okay, that's a good question. Hooking up with someone in accounting and then getting a promotion. Living. Breaking up with your girlfriend while on Instagram Live. Living. It's kind of mess.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Yeah. Well, you get it. Got it? Live, love, mess. Listen to Mess with Sydney Washington and Marie Faustin on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our co-host, Jess Hilarious, joining us. And we have Tyler Lepley in the building. How do you stay focused? Because, you know, ladies love you, so I'm sure they're in the DMs. I'm sure they're hollering at you.
Starting point is 00:46:57 So how do you stay focused from the beginning when you're a trainer? Because when you think about light-skinned brothers, it's usually me, you. What? Who else you get? What? What? Ain't nobody asking about you. Steph Curry.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Drake. They ain't never heard that one. It's usually us four. It's usually us four. It's usually us four, yeah. So. I ain't never heard that. So, back to you.
Starting point is 00:47:17 So, how do you stay focused, bro? Yeah, again, like, internally, I'm just never too far away from the beginning, man. I just. So, you was never out there wiling. He was. He was back in Philly getting into the ruts. Yeah, yeah, I'm just never too far away from the beginning, man. I just, I don't know. So you was never out there wilding? He was. He was back in Philly getting into the ruts. Yeah, yeah, I was. I was wilding before, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:31 But I think that, you know, I'm just still close to like, you know, where I started. I just remember some of those roadblocks. Like I couldn't figure it out. I didn't have a passion. I wasn't, I wasn't really good at something. You know what I'm saying? I was kind of just like aimless. I was kind of lost in a sense.
Starting point is 00:47:45 So to fast forward 12 years and be so locked in, be so passionate about something to the point where I would do it for free, but I get paid handsomely for it and want to put the work in. I'm just in such a blessed position. And I also always think about that analogy of the man in the arena. None of the problems of being in that arena really affect me because at the end of the day, I'm in the arena. It's easy for me to focus and lock in now renaissance me a song i didn't know you rap yeah yeah yeah just dropped something last week yeah i mean i've been doing
Starting point is 00:48:12 music as long as i've been as long as i've been acting but um you know it's just that it's acting popped off first you know what i'm saying i've been an artist since as far back as i can remember um they but they both their own separate beasts they're gonna come at their own time yeah but it's like if if something doesn't happen it ain't never gonna be for you know the lack of me not giving 100 so you know i've been dropping we just won't we're gonna keep pushing into this pop so michael b jones gotta move over and right now yeah for sure both of them but there's plenty of room at the table you know it's all good i'm just saying you come all right well i gotta ask you this so your ex-fiancee um my girlfriend yeah it was my ex-girlfriend oh yeah oh okay
Starting point is 00:48:49 y'all never okay cool thank you for cleaning it up yeah so your ex-girl i remember it was something you know going on with each other right yeah definitely know each other um miracle watts had said something about you know like she takes on your kids it's her kids like how is that situation now because i know that april got mad at that she got mad at that how is that now though um you know it's it's it's a process you know it's like it's definitely better than it was yeah still got a little way to go as much as i would not like it to be like that you know i can't rush anything because this is you know again the problems of the man in the arena just it kind of happens like this the one thing i will say is that again that, that's the mother of two of my children.
Starting point is 00:49:25 You know what I'm saying? I have nothing but love and respect for her. Absolutely. So, you know, I give her grace and patience as she figures out what she got to feel herself through. Right. And, you know, it doesn't help that everything's, like you talked about, it doesn't help that everything is in the public eye. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:49:38 So, like, I kind of understand where it's coming from. You know what I mean? But I would want for somebody to treat my kid like that like my kid is theirs you know yeah and you know to get back to that part it's like you know Miracle does such a great job of just loving me for everything and yeah just just the fullness of who I am and everything that comes with it for sure you know it brings me back to that I don't know if it was a meme or something went viral on uh on Instagram and it was about like you know the dad came home I only got McDonald's for his kid you know do you want that or like, you know, the dad came home, only got McDonald's for his kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Do you want that, or, like, do you want someone who really loves all three, like, exactly, so. I want my kids eating healthier than McDonald's. You want to feed your kids McDonald's fun? But if you can't afford it, you can't afford McDonald's. You can only get for one, for one kid. Yeah, that's one thing I didn't know about her. People may not know that from the outside looking in,
Starting point is 00:50:22 because the package looks like what it looks like. Yeah. She is just, man, she got the biggest heart and she's really just like a a down south homegrown girl at the end of the day so she really has everything that I need as a man for sure you're in love 100% yeah is it hard to love out loud I guess when you have an ex like you like you know you bought you saw you bought a Benz for for for Miracle on Instagram yeah yeah she got that G-wagon, sir. Not just the bins, it's G-wagon, sir. Come on now, respect for his name, sir.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Shout out to Birdman. Are you afraid to put stuff like that out there because it might piss off the ex? Yeah, I mean, I don't really think about it like that. You know, she's gotten push gifts, too. It just wasn't in front of everybody and it was at a different place in my career and stuff. He didn't have to do you acting money at the time. He didn't have to do you acting money at the time. I gave her equity in the house that we had before.
Starting point is 00:51:13 So when I sold it, she had some money. Oh, that's dope. She done taking care of everything when we was together. And even when we weren't, she still had a full-time nanny because she's got a job that requires her to be away for like 12 hours a day. So even if it's not what you see on Instagram you know i provide for all of my family right you know what i'm saying right but yeah it can be you know social media can make things challenging scared to not scared but like can't feel a way so much like of watching what he do in this relationship because of his past relationship you feel me like he still if you want to love loud
Starting point is 00:51:42 you know because maybe this girl is different. You know, Ava was private. You know, Miracle's different. So it's like you adjust. I don't, not that you asked me that, but I'm just saying. I don't think that you should move still because, you know. You're a woman. It's a woman's perspective. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:57 You know, what was then was then. This is now. Yeah. And there was love in both scenarios. Most definitely. I'm in love with Miracle now. We have a family, and this is love and there was love in both scenarios. This is just you know, I'm in love with miracle now We have we have a family and this is this is how I'm moving birthdays and Valentine's if you don't did the G wagon just for a push when I go my god, man, I
Starting point is 00:52:13 Was making I was making a joke my family recently like the last five months is like loaded up like everybody's birthday Valentine's Day Christmas is like it's all Compounded into like this five-month run so So I was like, I'm going to need them three jobs. You said he just dropped the mixtape. Y'all get it? Yeah, just dropped the mixtape. Matter of fact, yeah. But yeah, what I give, I give out of the goodness of my heart.
Starting point is 00:52:37 I don't really take tabs of it. It's nice. You may get a G-Wagon one day. You may get a conversation another day. Some flowers or something. I don't really pay attention to it. You better not come in no damn conversation for a birthday, anniversary, or Christmas.
Starting point is 00:52:50 I don't want to talk to you. Happy Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day. Let's have a talk. I love how the game has changed for y'all, though, because back in the day, I'd say about 15 years ago, they'd have told you, Tyler,
Starting point is 00:52:59 don't tell nobody you're in a relationship. For sure, yeah. You know what I mean? These women have to feel like they can have you. I've heard that so many times. Yeah, I have. But you know i mean these women have to feel like they can have you yeah i have but you know i've never i've never lived i've never lived for for anybody else so you know i think it's um one thing i love about harlem that like i see this through line of people chasing the life that that they see for themselves as opposed to the life that others see for them you know i'm saying and i connect with that because i've always been like that so i don't
Starting point is 00:53:22 really listen to that too much yeah Yeah. Because it can be difficult. Got you. Last question for me. How do you pronounce your son's name? Zai. Zai. Yeah, Zai. It's spelled X-I-L-E-I.
Starting point is 00:53:32 Oh, yeah, Zai Lei. Lei is his middle name. Oh, okay. Zai Lei. In her family, everybody got the middle name Lee. And she wanted to do something different. So Zai Lei. And I kind of like how it played off of Lepley.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Zai Lei Lepley. Yeah. Kind of sound like Scanfly. Definitely. Definitely. There you go. What do you want to do next, Lepley, kind of sound like Skinfly. Definitely, definitely. What do you want to do next, Tyler? What do you want to do next, ultimately? I mean, you said you want to knock Michael B. Jordan up. You want to push Drake out.
Starting point is 00:53:53 You want to get Denzel out. You want to get all the ice kids. No, I'm just trying to get to where they at, that's all. No worries. No, I think for me it's like, man, I just got to check off everything that I'm feeling, you know what I'm saying, and not let the obstacles get in the way. You know, I feel like in the tug of war between the heart and the mind, sometimes we overthink things and we get in our own way. You know, so I don't.
Starting point is 00:54:14 The short answer is right now I'm producing a movie. I got, you know, the music dropping. We got P-Valley in Harlem, seasons three coming up. So it's like, you know, that's going to take up most of the 12 months. But it's like, you know, as I look into the crystal ball, you know, the sky is the limit and I don't want to put a limit on myself, you know, because I would have never thought in a million years when I was going through that rut that I would be sitting right here with y'all.
Starting point is 00:54:34 You know what I'm saying? Like, never. Yeah. I couldn't, I couldn't. Bro, like, right before I came out, man, I was, I went around the room, grabbed a little jewelry here and I was at the pawn shop. You know what I'm saying? Like, I didn't have, I didn't have $50 to my name.
Starting point is 00:54:47 So it's like to see where it went, if you just follow what you're feeling, that's what I'm on. I'm trying to just get to, you know, where my destiny is taking me. That's crazy, because you a running back. Running backs can always see the hole. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:55:01 It's a crazy analogy, yeah, absolutely. So you're producing a film. You, like, holding auditions? No, no. I'm doing it with... He said no, Jess. Right. He said that for me and you.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Me and you. That means you don't come up there either. I meant not yet. No, you meant what you said. He said no. That can't be wrong. He said no. No.
Starting point is 00:55:24 No. All right, cool. All right, go ahead. Tyler Laplace, ladies and gentlemen. We appreciate you for joining us, brother. Man, thank y'all for taking time to have me on for real. Oh, man. Miracle got the roll, Jess. Again, okay? That was hilarious, man. Great show.
Starting point is 00:55:39 It's the Breakfast Club with Tyler Lapley, y'all. That was crazy. This don't be a donkey. Because right now you on some real donkey shit. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel. Did she get donkey in the name, please, Dylan? Absolutely. I have become Donkey of the Day.
Starting point is 00:56:00 At the Breakfast Club, bitches. You're a donkey. Yeah, it's donkey of the day. Goes to a 20-year-old man who was in Brazil at Carnival having big fun. Okay, salute to everyone who has been having big fun at Carnivals all around the world. Dropping the clues bombs for everybody at Carnivals all around the world. I'm talking like I know what I'm speaking on, but I don't. I just saw Nicki Minaj in Trinidad for Carnival and Ashanti. I saw her on Instagram saying
Starting point is 00:56:25 she was upset she was missing Carnival and now I read this story about this young man this morning at Carnival. So I'm just assuming it's Carnival season. I'm just assuming that. Now Carnival looks like a lot of fun for those of you who like going out in public and having a lot of the public there. It's a very public thing and one reason I try to
Starting point is 00:56:41 avoid so much of the public is because it's hard to control that much crazy when it's that much public okay the more public there is out the more chances of you encountering crazy and today's donkey is absolutely crazy see this man this 20 year old was arrested for harassing women I would think women being harassed at carnivals are very common because the women be out there looking amazing you know dressed in their carnival garb which to me is usually a two-piece swimsuit and a lot of feathers and you have a lot of men who can't handle being around all that okay they just straight up perverts all right shame on those types of dudes but this man took harassment to a whole nother level okay
Starting point is 00:57:16 but i have to commend the police for being on top of the situation because when a person looks suspicious or is acting as suspiciously as this man was he should be seized immediately and I know you can't look at a person and tell hey this person is gonna be someone who sexually harasses women but this man wasn't hard to identify at all see the reason this human is getting donkey of the day is because he decided to go to carnival in Brazil dressed in a seven-foot penis costume oh you won't see the picture let me show you the picture nope don't want to see that picture look at the picture nope see the picture oh i mean it's a black one you know what i'm saying and that's what pisses me off is this this is a black penis but is this a
Starting point is 00:58:00 black man no that's right he's either white or latino he's some type of other listen if you can't beat him you join him i'm not gonna have you doing that i don't like that i don't like this white or latino or other deciding to dress in a shack size long suit okay a shack size his size ain't that size he that size why would you say that i mean shack size i ain't talking about his penis you finally not talking about some my opinion okay good here we go i'm sorry we on the straight path today that's nice i don't know what makes one want to wake up and dress as indiana bones but we live in an era where people can wake up and identify with whatever they want to identify as and this man dressed up as a seven foot skin flute to harass women at carnival let me tell you something
Starting point is 00:59:01 there's so much wrong with this number one one is the harassment. Number two, why you got to be a colored Chuck Dickens. OK, y'all be knowing what y'all doing when you decide to present as a black anything, because you know how people perceive black skin all around the world, even when it's black foreskin. OK, now you really got to go see the pictures for yourself, because not only is he presenting as a seven foot meat puppet, this this man is this man dressed as a wu-tang wang got on flip-flops you ain't see that relax flip-flops man yo right a third leg with all his toes out yo listen i don't care what you say they may hate us but everybody loves the black yeah i'm saying penis yes wow wow i'm on thin ice so yeah what bothers me the most about this situation is this man really woke up and chose sexual violence he literally woke up and said i'm gonna harass and chase women dressed as a seven foot dark ding-a-ling okay i think the only suitable punishment is for him to be in prison, in a cell, one-on-one, with the largest penis in the penitentiary.
Starting point is 01:00:09 I think he'd love that. You think? I think. I don't know. It wouldn't be prison, though. It'd be jail. Go find the biggest Johnson in the joint. I'm talking go find someone who got something that's the size of those little women from Atlanta.
Starting point is 01:00:21 And let that man get chased around a jail cell with it. R.I.P. to Miss Minnie. Find someone who got a P. Diddy her size and let him go to work. Ain't no fun when the rabbit got the custom launch, is it? Now, you about to meet a seven-foot spank Aaron. Batter up, young man. That 20-year-old should have to experience
Starting point is 01:00:37 the same trauma that all those women at Carnival had to experience because he wants to dress up like a seven-foot weenie to poop. All right? Please give this 20-year from rio de janeiro of the day. Yee-haw. Tell them just being chased and harassed is not fun. Yeah. Alright, being chased and harassed is not fun. I mean,
Starting point is 01:01:15 being chased by a big black guy, you know what I'm saying? What's wrong with you? He deserves that. You should act like this doesn't just happen to you. I I'm saying but alright what's wrong with you alright he deserves that he deserves that this happens you should act like this didn't just happen to you
Starting point is 01:01:27 I'm just saying like I'm just saying those people want to be that if you want somebody to do it yeah if you want somebody to do it cool
Starting point is 01:01:34 cool alright not unwanted I don't think he woke up and was like you know what I'm gonna go and harass people with this
Starting point is 01:01:41 I think he's thinking like they don't like what I got so let me give them what I don't got hoping i got so let me give them what i don't got hoping that i can get something i'm saying that's interesting interesting pov okay all right he's still like no thank you for that donkey today charlotte man yes indeed the breakfast club never treated my child crazy that was just something you know that we as mothers as women or whatever but nah it's never been that way so do you want them to take a mother type role or
Starting point is 01:02:11 you just want them just to be cool you don't gotta take them they that's what they end up doing anyway but you don't have to take that you don't have to be over nurture like you know i'm saying where it seems forced or if it's something that you just because he needed my son's dad has been with a lot of girls who didn't have kids, so they didn't really even have experience and being around kids, but they tried. They were just like, you don't really got to try to be his mother, but you have to you have to like my child. My child got to like you, too. Like, let me ask you, Jess.
Starting point is 01:02:40 So, yeah, you know, when it's a younger child, they have to be motherly, right? But what is what is your son called? Is it like mom two? Is it like mom two? It'll never happen. It'll never happen. He better not ever call nobody else no mom. Mom two.
Starting point is 01:02:54 Not mom two. Mom two. Not mom two. Okay. Okay. Last day. All right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:01 I don't care. Mom two, three, whatever. No. I'm the first and only mom. He can call them Miss whatever because you got to put a handle on it. I don't care how young the girl, whatever is going to be Miss, whatever her name is. Now, what about, you know, Tyler bought his Miracle or G-Wagon, right? And I asked him, like, you know, just to keep the peace.
Starting point is 01:03:20 Do you do stuff like that for your other baby moms? Is that expected of a man because you think about when people get divorced you know they got to make sure that their their exes set up the same way they're set up i think they should you know yeah i'm gonna tell you why because you don't want your one kid to be driving in a g63 g wagon and that's 180 thousand dollars and the other kid to be driving in a a ford escort what is wrong for that look yo that's that's listen man why would you say that word up you know if you listen to a ford escort what is wrong for that look yo that's that's what listen man why would you say that word up what about us in ford escort say a prius okay yeah yeah yeah that's better i

Starting point is 01:04:25 But the kids going to still be in the Prius. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The kids going to, your kids going to be in the Prius. As long as they not drop, they in the back. It's about the person driving. You in the back, so you good. You don't got no bills. You ain't got nothing to worry about.
Starting point is 01:04:36 You still on four wheels. I'm not saying you got to have another Mercedes, but give me something that the kids feel comfortable in and not making fun of. Listen, we grew up different, whatever. But he didn't buy the kids a G-Wagon he bought miracle a g-wagon yeah the baby wasn't even the baby gonna be in the g-wagon baby don't know nothing about no g-wagon that's true it ain't that your kids know it like your son is in fifth grade he knows the difference between the g-wagon and the prius i'm telling you my kids and all right yo listen i don't. Listen, I don't care. I said what I said. That's it.
Starting point is 01:05:07 All right, let's go to the phone line. Jess's son definitely know the difference between a G-Wagon and a Prius. I know, that ain't the point. I gave that man $300 for his birthday. He ain't want that. No, shut up. I have a G-Wagon, and I also have, I forgot the name, whatever my other Benz is. I got both of them, right?
Starting point is 01:05:25 Shut up, dad, shut up. Shut up. But my baby father, he got a nice little Acura. You know what I'm saying? So we showing my son the best of both worlds. You know what I'm saying? Tyler, little kids,
Starting point is 01:05:34 they gonna know the best of both. That's it. That's it. Man, he's so stupid. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Cupcake. Hey, good morning. Hey, good morning.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Hey, Jack. Bitch, I love you. I love you too, baby. What's your thoughts, mama? What do you think? Well, yeah. I'm a baby mother. So I feel like it's very important for whoever my daughter's father with to treat her exactly how I would treat her.
Starting point is 01:06:00 You know, I want her to feel like she got two moms. You know, it's important. However, that is not her experience. You say that's not your experience? No. The woman is just, like, so jealous of my child, I don't understand it. Like, she started dating my daughter's father
Starting point is 01:06:18 when I was pregnant, and I came to her when the baby was born, like, girl, I'm her mother, you're her man, let's come together bring it in like a family and it definitely didn't go down that way and my daughter is now seven and we still deal with that see this is a good example of maybe you should treat both like the baby daddy should probably treat both of them the same like you buy one of three years you gotta buy another one of three years yes yes and like he started to realize that like you have to be there for your baby mother no matter what.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Because at the end of the day, we have a common. And it's that baby that's going to do everything. You were still pregnant and he had a new girlfriend. That, yeah, I don't know. That's how things happen like that. Because my baby father's been in that situation, too. But it is different. Shorty felt the way because he was having a, that's what hurt her.
Starting point is 01:07:02 She was having a baby. The baby wasn't even here yet. And then, and so she probably felt the way. Because was having a death on her though. She was having a baby. The baby wasn't even here yet. And so she probably felt the way because honestly... Is this breaking news? Is this something we never heard? She's talking about the last caller. Yeah, the girl you hung up on. Yeah, like
Starting point is 01:07:16 that's different. The girl, she met the guy and his baby mother was still pregnant. They broke up while she was pregnant. So she probably still was like... She mad. He could go back with her anytime. Their baby is so fresh and so new.
Starting point is 01:07:29 Yeah. You know, so that's different. All right. 800-585-1051. What are your thoughts? If you buy your new baby mom or your new fiance a G-Wagon, let's say, you know, is it your right? Are you supposed to buy the old baby mom something comparable?
Starting point is 01:07:45 So your kids could be driving in a comparable type of car and the same lifestyle. Yes. And do you want someone to treat your kids like they're their own as well? All right. Let's talk about it. It's the breakfast. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max.

Starting point is 01:14:40 she as she figures out what she got to feel herself through. But I would want for somebody to treat my kid like my kid is theirs. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, for sure. So we're asking 800-585-1051. You know, if you buy your fiance something, are you supposed to take care of your baby moms the same way? And also, do you want your fiance to, you know, look at your other kids the same way as they look at your kids?
Starting point is 01:15:03 That's the question we're asking, correct? Hello, who's this? This is Shaquana. Hey, Shaquana. Hey, guys. Good morning. Yes! What? Right here! I knew I had you on. It got so bad, but she already sounded like she mad. Hey, right? Shaquana. Shaquana. Good morning, Shaquana.
Starting point is 01:15:20 It's Shaquana. I'm just messing with you. Don't play with her. Don't play with her. Don't play with her. What play with her Don't play with her What's your thoughts mama? Honestly I just want to weigh in And say It depends on how long You've been with the person Because
Starting point is 01:15:31 I have an ex Who would take our kids Around his girlfriend He just met like a week ago And I feel that's something You shouldn't do But if you're serious With the person
Starting point is 01:15:40 And you know You feel like you got A future with them I mean I see nothing wrong With it but On the stand still There's a lot of crazy people In the world And you know, you feel like you got a future with them. I mean, I see nothing wrong with it, but on the standstill, there's a lot of crazy people in the world. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:48 And you gotta be cautious because a lot of people harming kids and doing crazy things to kids. So, that's where I'm with it. Like,
Starting point is 01:15:54 if you think you're gonna be with that person long term and you dating for a minute and you get to know each other, you're talking about y'all kids, okay. But, on your first date,
Starting point is 01:16:03 you're not taking the kids to Chuck E. Cheese to play together because y'all won't got kids. I agree. Right. I agree. I agree. You can't be bringing anybody around your chair. Yeah, that's what she's saying.
Starting point is 01:16:14 That's what she's saying. But I do believe that if I got kids and you got kids and we ain't got no babysitters, we want to see each other bad enough. Yeah, let's meet up at Chuck E. Cheese's. Hello, who's this? Hello? Hello. Hey, what's your name? Monica.
Starting point is 01:16:32 Hey, Monica, good morning. Good morning. What's your thoughts, mama? My thoughts are I do not date with men. I don't date men for kids for that reason. If I can't let my kids go over to the other parent, I don't feel comfortable. Then it's not.
Starting point is 01:16:48 Like, how am I going to feel comfortable with my kid going to see his other parent if I don't like or get along with the other person? Now, is that bitter? But let me ask you this, Monica. Is that because you're bitter? Or is that because he ever given you any type of, like, yo, I'm going to put my son in jeopardy or put my kid in jeopardy like is he that you got to know the other parents too are they ever gonna bring somebody that you don't like around your kid that's gonna do something to your kid is that bitter or is that just how you feel no that's not bitter i think it's just that as a mother yeah i'm gonna speak
Starting point is 01:17:18 for the mother point of view as a mother you have to feel comfortable if you're not comfortable with the man choosing the right mate it it's not ever going to work. So I would think that maybe me and the girl would have to talk. I would be mature enough to be like, let me talk to the girl. And if I'm feeling her and I like her, then yeah, you can go for it. But listen, Jess. Yes? You must, and I'm talking about you, have to stay the permanent co-host on the show.
Starting point is 01:17:46 I've been crying all week. Yo, this is the funniest show ever been in my life. Charlamagne is at his best with you. Thank you so much, girl. I agree with everything you said. Why'd you just stand up to do that? Because I had to. I had to, and I think I dressed the best one here out of everybody that I saw.
Starting point is 01:18:06 Thank you so much, baby. I already told you. She get the permanent role. I guarantee you she won't be coming here like she hosting no award show every day. I guarantee you it'll be sweatsuits within two months. And some sneakers. It's all right. So what's the moral of the story?
Starting point is 01:18:19 What is the moral of the story? Jessica, you've been co-parenting very well for a pretty long time now. Oh, man. The moral of the story is, all right, so look. What she said, which is also a part of the moral of the story, Jessica? You've been co-parenting very well for a pretty long time now. Oh, man. The moral of the story is, all right, so look, what she said, which is also a part of the moral, you still cannot say, because she said, if you don't trust the other parent to date somebody, that's still, in a sense, controlling. You don't know who they're going to date. They dated you.
Starting point is 01:18:43 So if you're going off of their past, then you've got to include yourself like you can't just say and that's not do you monica but i'm just saying like it's just period you can't control who some of you who are you to say like oh hey i don't like the way he date i don't you don't until you get to know somebody but i like how she ended it if we have a conversation like you're going to be around my child this is who i am this is you whatever. So the moral of the story is you do not. I don't think you have to. You're not responsible for your ex. You're responsible for your kids.
Starting point is 01:19:12 I think that's what that is. Oh, that terrifies me. No, that makes sense. You're not responsible for your ex. You're responsible for your kids. You're not. Yeah, you're not. You're not responsible.
Starting point is 01:19:19 Like I said, my son's dad has five kids with five different women. After he moved on, he take care of his bomb father, take care of his kids. I don't try to support no more for none of them. No more. Yeah. But he is not responsible for their mothers. Right. None of that.
Starting point is 01:19:38 It's different in a marriage because the divorce, you got to settle. You get this. I get this. Whatever. But girlfriend, boyfriend, yo, if it's not about my child yo I'm in my relationship I'm good but let me ask you this Jess
Starting point is 01:19:48 what's good let's say you move on and now that one child lives a different life than those other four kids how do you think those other four kids will feel like you know what I mean
Starting point is 01:19:57 like that one kid he gets you know he gets to go to the football games he gets to go to this because he's with the father all day long in that house.
Starting point is 01:20:05 Don't you feel like all the kids should have that same love and that same feeling? But that's what I'm saying. What the ex got to do with that? I'm going to go pick my kid up, and I'm going to take you with the rest of my kids. We're with daddy. It ain't I'm going to pick you and the baby mother up. No, I'm picking my – I'm going to get all my kids together just like Rome do it, just like my son's dad does
Starting point is 01:20:25 it he don't do nothing without his other kids or if he got his girls it's girls day and boys boys day then he got days where he get all of them so he does i don't know how nick can it do it but my baby father do it do it basically what jess is saying she only buying mcdonald's for her son she ain't buying mcdonald's for the rest of the wrong kids it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club april 22nd um for the first ever black effect podcast festival happening at pullman yards in atlanta hosted by me and my good sister just hilarious uh we got some of your favorite podcasts hitting that stage like the 85 south show horrible decisionsrible Decisions, Reasonably Shady,
