Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Hey y'all, Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records 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?
Starting point is 00:02:06 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. It's danger. It's danger. Everybody come to the breakfast club. I call this the hot seat. You're alive. You're alive. Can I live? You are out of control. I can't even deal with you.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Y'all are so petty. Why are y'all so petty? The world's most dangerous morning show. DJ Envy. Captain of this bitch. Angela Yee. I stay in everybody's business, but in a good way. Charlamagne Tha God. The ruler rubbing you the wrong way.
Starting point is 00:02:43 The Breakfast Club. Made for everybody Wake up, wake up WAKE YOUR ASS UP This is your time to get it off your chest Say it, say it, what's your test? Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:02:58 Hey, this is David out of Jacksonville, Florida Hey, what's up, brother? Get it off your chest. Hey, we need to stop these young kids out of the wonderful city of Chicago. Have you guys reached out to local radio stations there and try to, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:17 get something going? Because we're losing it. I love this movement on Black Lives Matter. But we need to double focus it. Bad cops, but we also have bad people killing young black kids in Chicago. Yeah, and Chicago's been, I mean, listen, that's been an issue that they got to fix. And I think for Chicago, it's hard, man.
Starting point is 00:03:41 I remember I went there to go visit the charter schools there to see the kids and everything that they're doing in the schools. I think a lot of things have to start with making sure that kids have something to do and they have hope and that people actually care. I like to, I'm from a little small town, for instance, from Alabama, but we really focus on the boys and girls club, you know, starting there. You know, like you said, a gentleman spoke yesterday about, you know, I don't like Trump.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Well, I don't want to talk about it, but I'm not a racist. And, you know, Trump is doing racist things. You know, we can't continue to want to turn the page on the racist thing. And it's racist, regardless. It's, you know, white power, the Nazi symbol.
Starting point is 00:04:28 It's racist. We need to erase that and get rid of it. Absolutely. Alright, bro. You guys are powerful. I'm an old man, and I really thought I would be calling the radio station, but, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:44 I got tired of this young kid not wanting to step up. You know, and I got six kids, four girls and two boys. And I want them to have a future. I don't want them to say, well, my dad didn't leave me anything. Yeah, no, I get it. And I understand. And it's so many different things. You know, do you try to take more guns off the streets?
Starting point is 00:05:03 Do you have more community stuff out there for kids to do this? Get out of the streets. You know, it's a difficult thing. I honestly don't know the answer, but I mean, we just got to keep trying. But, you know, I think the best thing to do is continue to have more community things and hopefully get kids out the streets and doing more things. Have them do things in tech. Have them build studios.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Let, you know, let the kids rap, you know, have basketball do things in tech, have them build studios, let the kids rap, have basketball programs, baseball programs, investment programs, have more people in the community come out there and show them how they're making money and try to change their life around. That's all I can think of when it comes to our community. It's a multi-layered approach, even with the parents, making sure that the parents are comfortable and they can spend time with their kids even,
Starting point is 00:05:42 because a lot of times parents aren't around because they're working multiple jobs just trying to make it. And then flood the community with some money so they have opportunities, so they have chances, so they don't have to worry about where their next meal is going to come or how they're going to pay their rent or whatever it may be. Hello, who's this? What's going on, DJ? It's Front Page. Front Page, what up, brother? Get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Yeah, man. How you doing, my brother? Peace, King. How you? Great. Fantastic. What up, brother? Get it off your chest. Yeah, man. Charlotte, how you doing, my brother? Peace, King. How you? Great. Fantastic. Hey, real quick, I just want to get it off my chest. I'm tired of these fake-ass clouds that I'm looking at over New York City.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Like I said, I'm riding up and down the East Coast, and they keep spraying the damn hood, man. I mean, listen, you guys are over in the cloud, and it's disgusting. I'm tired of looking at it, and I don't know who really notices it, but we stay in the cloud. And PA is not like that. Once we pass those mountains, we got open skies, but you guys are sitting in a nasty cloud
Starting point is 00:06:34 and sitting quite low as well, too. What do you mean a cloud? I have no idea what you're talking about. A cloud of toxic waste? Waste? Are they spraying something on us, you're saying? Those precious metals that they're spraying in the air. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:06:50 It's ridiculous. It's disgusting. I don't know if you notice what the clouds are looking like, and they hang way too low. Like, cumulus clouds do not hang that low. How do we fight it, bro? How do we fight that spray? How do we fight the spray?
Starting point is 00:07:02 Well, we could do it like this. 44trillion.com for black folks. This is what we do. We've got to come together and build our own, period. We have to come together and build our own. So 44 trillion for black folks. We've got to go there. So build our own clouds?
Starting point is 00:07:17 No, they're in the clouds. We're not going to fight that. They're beating us up. Period. They're going down to the rural area. Damn. I can't hear him. going down to the rural area. Damn. I can't hear him. I feel like the spray took his phone.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Those clouds. Yeah, he must have gotten to an area where there was a bunch of fake clouds and they cut his signal off. My goodness. Poor guy. Hello, who's this? Oh, my gosh. Am I live?
Starting point is 00:07:38 Good morning. You live? Oh, my gosh. Here's your live. Who's this? Oh, my gosh. Hey. My name is Mimi.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Hey, Mimi. Get it off your chest. Hey, Mimi, don't do that. I love you. I just want to be off my gosh. Hey. My name is Mimi. Hey, Mimi. Get it off your chest. Don't do that. I love you. I just wanted to get off my chest. I love you too, Mimi. Thank you. I just wanted to get off my chest that people need to stay inside.
Starting point is 00:07:54 I saw a very wild video from Atlanta with a pool in the middle of the club, and people was in there. That was wild. That was compound in Atlanta. Yeah, but I'm kind of hypocritical because I'm going to Atlanta next week, but I wouldn't get in the pool. Goodness gracious.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Oh my gosh, I can't believe I've been calling y'all since y'all was on air and I never got through. This is so exciting. Angela, I love you. Love you too. Y'all know I'm cool. Anyway, I would like to plug my podcast real quick because I have my own podcast. It's called The Juicy Hour with Mimi.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Y'all should tune in. It's on all podcasting platforms. The Juicy Eye? The Juicy Hour with Mimi. Oh, The Juicy Hour. Okay, got you. How do you have a juicy eye? Okay, I'm going to check that out.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Well, thank you for calling, Mimi. Thank you, but it's Mimi. I said Mimi. All right, Mimi. Oh, Mimi. Thank you, but it's Nene. I said Mimi. All right, Nene. Oh, Nene. All right. Like leaks. Nene leaks.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy.
Starting point is 00:09:07 We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Palm Beach. All right, what up, brother? Get it off your chest. Is this Charlamagne? Yes, it's me and Envy. Yes, it's Charlamagne and Envy.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Represent to you and Angela Lee. I love you guys. You've got the best voice in the game. You know, I'm trying to say that, like, I actually, like, came to, after my dad died, like, living in the mob, and I went to, like, the hood, like, down here in West Palm, you know what I'm saying, when I was 19. And I started listening to Jay Pharoah. And, like, now I have a track, you know what I'm saying, on a movie.
Starting point is 00:09:45 On Amazon Prime. Blame it on Trey. Jay Pharoah, and, like, now I have a f***ing track, you know what I'm saying, on a movie, on Amazon Prime. Blame it on Trey. Jay Pharoah, the comedian? I'm a rapper, comedian, impersonationist. Oh, got you. He's an inspiration to you. All right, it's Palm Bleach. Yeah, but here's the real thing I'm trying to say is that, like, you know, nobody can really put their life into skin color, you know what I'm saying, until they're really there.
Starting point is 00:10:06 So there's a lot of people that use it for cult, like Instagram models and shit, you know what I'm saying? Like, sometimes I feel like that, like, the movement should be, like, you should have something in your life with that, you know what I'm saying? Like, old school, man. Not like people that, like, Abercrombie and Fish your whole life, like, don't even go out their house and shit. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:10:26 But it's cool. All right, brother. Can't curse. Thank you, man. I'm going to tell you something. I don't know what you're saying. Nobody knows what he's saying. You tell me, you know, do you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:10:36 I don't know what you're saying. But good morning to you. Hello, who's this? Hey, my name's Bella. Hey, get it off your chest. Hey, I was talking about a story out in Bloomington, Indiana. It was over 4th of July where a guy was attempted to be lynched, and they caught it on video, but they didn't make any arrests there, and now they're looking into it and investigating it and stuff.
Starting point is 00:11:00 But I got to live out here. Was that all of the white people who were saying they were trying to lynch a black person? They were calling for the noose? Yeah, yeah, that's the one. Yeah, I live out here, man. And it is such, it's near Indianapolis, Indiana. And it is such, like, just a white place to live. And it's hard sometimes because nobody, you know, relates at all.
Starting point is 00:11:25 And this is a place where I can't tell you how many times people have been like, come out and hang out with me. Come camping with me. And, you know, I always tell them no. And I tell them I don't want to because it's dangerous and they don't see it. And then it's like, here it is for everybody to see. But still people up here don't pay attention to it. I'm going to give you the same advice. I would love to give that young man. I feel like you have to own a legal firearm in America,
Starting point is 00:11:50 especially when you're a black person. I think having a legal firearm is a form of self-care. And I wish that young man in that moment had a legal firearm on him to protect himself from at least what I saw in the video, which was a bunch of white people attacking him, telling him, go get the noose. That's what I kept in the video, which was a bunch of white people attacking him, telling him, go get the noose. That's what I kept hearing him call for. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I feel like had he done that though and had he shot somebody, the police who showed up, it's the park police, it's not the city police, they would have been pointing their guns at him instead. He would have been dead too. Yes, but that's no reason for me not to practice my Second Amendment rights. Absolutely. I still live in America, and the Constitution is supposed to protect me,
Starting point is 00:12:30 so I have no problem fighting that one in court. Yeah, I feel it's just one of those things, man, being out here, being in a place where, you know, you do what you can to be active and you do what you can to do the right thing and, you know, promote social change and all that. But it's just such a whitewashed community that is just, man, it's hard living out here sometimes. Well, thank you. We appreciate you and what you attempt to do.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Absolutely. What's your privilege? Using your privilege to combat prejudice. So thank you. Okay. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:13:04 If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club.

It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:14:12 What's up, y'all? This is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th.
Starting point is 00:14:31 I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.

This is Ramses Jha. And I go by the name Q Ward. And we'd like you to join us each week for our show Civic Cipher. That's right. We're going to discuss social issues, especially those that affect black and brown people, but in a way that informs and empowers
Starting point is 00:15:55 all people to hopefully create better allies. Think of it as a black show for non-black people. We discuss everything from prejudice to politics to police violence, and we try to give you the tools to create positive change in your home, workplace, and social circle. Exactly. Whether you're Black, Asian, White, Latinx, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, you name it. If you stand with us, then we stand with you. Let's discuss the stories and conduct the interviews that will help us create a more empathetic, accountable, and equitable America. You are all our brothers and sisters, and we're inviting you to join us for Civic Cipher each and every Saturday with myself, Ramses Jha, Q Ward, and some of the greatest minds in America. Listen to Civic Cipher every Saturday on the iHeartRadio app,
Starting point is 00:16:39 Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlemagne Tha God, Angela Yee, and we got somebody on the Zoom this morning that I love, I value, and I appreciate. Dr. Claude Anderson. How are you, young man? I'm still trying to grow up and be like you,
Starting point is 00:17:00 drink my own milk, say my prayers, and hope to be like you one day. You know, Dr. Claude, I'm happy to have you this morning, man, because I'm hearing so much powernomics rhetoric from everybody. Everybody wants to use Dr. Claude's ideas in regards to black economic agendas. So why not hear from the man himself this morning? That's my mindset. Well, I'm delighted to be here and glad to see you all and be with you all again.
Starting point is 00:17:28 And I just thought a few seconds ago, you know, I'll be a year pretty soon since the last time I was with you all, last December. Wow. And Dr. Claude, before we start, I just want to ask you, how is everything with you with, you know, these difficult times that people are having? How have you been holding up? I'm fair to admit for a poor black man, but I've had some health problems. It looks like I'm right on the edge of coming out of them. And I just think there's this hastening trying to get back to you all again, because as you indicated, Charlemagne, we're in deep, deep trouble in this country, black folk. And, you know, I made a commitment to myself a few years ago
Starting point is 00:18:06 that I was going to stay out of national politics since I left the national administration with President Carter. I said I'm going to stay out of it and stay neutral. But now looking around, I can't keep that commitment any longer. Things are getting so terrible. We've got a pandemic. Nobody's doing anything that makes any sense. But more importantly is that my people, black people,
Starting point is 00:18:26 are just totally in absence of any black leadership. Nobody's speaking up for black folk. And I've told people all my life that when white folk catch a cold, black folk are going to catch pneumonia. I don't hear nobody saying, we're going to start talking, we want to eradicate poverty. They should be saying, no, start at a priority with black folk. And I got 38% of all the black folk in America beneath the poverty line.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Start with them. If you start talking about we want justice, start with black folk again. Trump is stacking the courts again for the next 40 years, putting people into the federal judgeships, which means that black folk will never, never, never, never have a chance to get into, get justice from that situation. We marched in the streets talking about we want justice. How are you going to get justice? And they said, well, how about the Supreme Court? I said, why would a black person want to try to get justice in the United States by going through the Supreme Court?
Starting point is 00:19:18 The primary responsibility of the Supreme Court is to maintain racism. They're the guardians of racism in America. That's the most racist organization in the United States. As soon as racism and slavery started, first thing they did was set up the Supreme Court to make us be the guardian. And that came out of the Marlboros and Madison decision in 1803. It says now we're going to start getting involved
Starting point is 00:19:40 in matters pertaining to black folk and slavery. The first 57 judges were white slave owners. If Joe Biden wins, do you think he should stack the courts, stack the Supreme Court, pack the Supreme Court? Yeah, that's what he's supposed to do. He's supposed to look out to quid pro quo. He's supposed to take care of the people that take care of him. That's the primary purpose of politics.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Politics never existed the way it exists now until the 1500s. And it's based on a French word, politisie, which means quid pro quo. It decides who gets what benefits out of life. It's based on a simple premise of something for something. You help me, I help you. All these black elected officials, they swear an oath.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Said I will hereby promise and commit and raise my hand on the Bible saying that I will protect who? Those individuals who voted for me and put me in a public office. And I never see anybody holding them to that. We got the Congressional Black Caucus, 40-something people. They swore an oath that they would protect black folk.
Starting point is 00:20:33 You tell me, where have they been all these years? What are they doing? 51% of all the prisons in the United States are black people that sit up in prison. 51%. And out of all of them that's in prison right now, 96% are Black men. They're an endangered species. All right, we have more with Dr. Claude Anderson.
Starting point is 00:20:51 When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about.

Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So y'all, this is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right.
Starting point is 00:22:09 A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Niminy here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap is another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, what's up? This is Ramses Jha. And I go by the name Q Ward. And we'd like you to join us each week for our show Civic Cipher. That's right. We're going to discuss social issues, especially those that affect black and brown people, but in a way that informs and empowers all people to hopefully create better allies.

You are all our brothers and sisters, and we're inviting you to join us for Civic Cipher each and every Saturday with myself, Ramses Jha, Q Ward and some of the greatest minds in America.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Listen to Civic Cipher every Saturday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, in the Constitution. Demand that there be a permanent office in the White House for Native Black Affairs. Demand that they build a sovereign high-speed rail system that runs from Atlanta to Dallas, stops in Birmingham and Shreveport. Congress to study the negative impact that immigrants have on black people and establish a reparations bill. You got it all right. And when you call and check on that high-speed rail system, the money's already there. And right now, I got people already who made it outside the United States
Starting point is 00:25:09 that will put up something like $45 billion to build that high-speed rail system. All we need from the government is for somebody on the federal level and the office of the president just to approve the project. You know, Dr. Claude, I was having that conversation about immigrants actually yesterday, and a lot of people would say immigrants, they're not taking any jobs from black people because there's jobs black people wouldn't do anyway. What do you say to that? They're right, and that's why we have to recondition black folk.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Black folks, I worked for 460 years, nobody paid me, gave me anything. What insurance I got this time, I'm going to get paid and get some money. But see, nobody's ever rewarded, compensated black folk. Black folk have never gotten any rewards. They worked all those years 300 360 years for nothing and then and then and the thing about it is the dominant white society is still opposed to it you know why they said well y'all looking for something free i said that's what they should be doing looking for something free you know why because every immigrant came here contrary to what they tell you but they came here for religious freedom then it comes nobody came here, contrary to what they tell you, but they came here for religious freedom. Nobody came here looking for religious freedom.
Starting point is 00:26:07 They came here looking to get free benefits. They came here to get all those things that blacks could not get. They wanted free land and free black labor, and that's what they got. That's called the American dream, coming to America and free low, get whatever you can get. What's the final point, Dr. Clark? You said you had two more. I went to the demand that a commission be set up in the Congress
Starting point is 00:26:27 where they hold hearings to go out and find out who was responsible and get reimbursements for what happened to the blacks who were freed during slavery. So I'm giving you about seven things. I'm going to quit there. That's right. His name is Dr. Claude Anderson. You can go get Powernomics. You can go get
Starting point is 00:26:43 Black Label, White Wealth. You can go get Dirty Little Secrets, Part 1 and 2. Go buy all Dr. Claude's. You can go get Powernomics. You can go get Black Label, White Wealth. You can go get Dirty Little Secrets, part one and two. Go buy all Dr. Claude's books, man. He's one of my favorite people to have conversations with, to talk to. And I love you and I value you
Starting point is 00:26:56 and I appreciate you, Dr. Claude. I'm glad you exist, my brother. I tell you, you know how I feel about you. I mean, I tell anybody in a second, somebody's asked me about Charlemagne. I said, that's my man. I said, I tell anybody in a second, somebody's asked me about Charlemagne, I said, that's my man. I said, I'm not gay, that's my man. This all makes sense.
Starting point is 00:27:16 I appreciate you, Dr. Claude. Where can they find you if they want to read you, man? They can go to the powernomics.com website. We've got a library packed to get all five of those books for $99. Or they can call the Power Numbers Corporation in Washington, D.C., and contact me. I love you guys, and I appreciate you.
Starting point is 00:27:41 And please, if I said something that was offensive to you, I didn't mean to do that, and I apologize for it. You welcome this type of dialogue. I would love to have it some more because I agree with some things, disagree with some things, but that is all part of our own experiences. That's right. I appreciate that. I don't know the answers to everything, but I just tried for 50 years to be
Starting point is 00:27:57 a forensic historian and do what nobody else does and look at racial issues and cut them open, slice them and dice them and figure out how you find solutions. And I don't just accept things right off the bat. And I wouldn't want you to do that either. Dr. Claude, thank you, my brother. We appreciate you.
Starting point is 00:28:13 It's Dr. Claude Anderson. It's The Breakfast Club. Are you ready? It's time to shoot your shot. It's time to shoot your shot with It's time to shoot your shot. With The Breakfast Club. You lose your one chance. Don't mess it up.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Mess it up. We got Michael on the line. Michael, what's up? Hey, guys. How you doing? Now, you trying to shoot your shot with who? Tell us what's going on. All right.
Starting point is 00:28:36 So, Tamika and I have been very, very good friends for a long time. We first met as freshmen in college. And, yeah, been friends ever since. Neither one of us has ever been in a long time. We first met as freshmen in college and, yeah, been friends ever since. Neither one of us has ever been in a good relationship. They never really seemed to last because I guess we were just constantly dating people who were
Starting point is 00:28:55 completely wrong for us. So you guys never dated, never kissed, never hugged, never smashed? Never messed around, nothing. But have you had chemistry with her, or is it more of a... Yeah, so that's the thing. I think we do have that. We're just really, really close friends.
Starting point is 00:29:13 We've always been there for each other through thick and thin, and we supported each other through all those bad relationships, too. And I feel like we know each other so well and we've never really, you know, tried going down that road. And I think that I'd like to see if she feels the same way that I'm starting to feel about her, you know?
Starting point is 00:29:35 Why ruin a good friendship? What if this ruins your friendship? That's what I'm debating. That's what I'm debating. She's one of my closest friends. I don't want that to change. I don't want to make it weird. But, yeah, I mean, I can't help the way I'm feeling right now.
Starting point is 00:29:50 I'm going to be honest with you. I hate to discourage somebody from shooting their shot, but I feel like you should go with your gut and think. If you feel like you are going to ruin a good friendship, what's the point? Because, you know, it could be the love of his life. Yeah, that could be. Listen, your best friend should be your wife. Has she ever given you
Starting point is 00:30:05 even an inkling of consideration? Do you think she likes you a little bit? What makes you feel this way? I think she does like me. And, you know, I really think we'd be really good together.
Starting point is 00:30:17 It's just, I don't know. Maybe it just wasn't at the right time. Sound like arrogance to me, bro. Now, what if she says, no, she's not interested? Can you still be friends? Wow.
Starting point is 00:30:27 I mean, I think so. Okay. Yeah. Wouldn't you want to know if somebody that you really like and, you know. It might make it awkward if I don't like him. That's the only thing. I'm going to be honest with you, man. I think this is what I think is going to happen.
Starting point is 00:30:40 I could be wrong. But I think that you're going to call this young lady and she's going to say, no, you're like a brother to me. Well, let me ask you this. She's going to put you in the bro zone. Does she talk about things that people usually don't talk about? Like, does she walk by you with her shirt off or does she pass gas next to you? With her shirt off. Anything like that?
Starting point is 00:30:58 No. Okay. No, no, no. Passing gas is flirting? No, no, no. I'm making sure because if you do that next to somebody, you're not really turned on and they're just like one of the boys. By the way, when a man farts around another man, that is actually absolutely flirting.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Well, let's call her and let's see because he wants to shoot his shot. We're not going to discourage him from that. So let's get it going. That's right. Let's come on. Let's go ahead and get him in the brother zone. Well, you're already in the brother zone. Let's make it official.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Let's go. hello hey tamika michael hey michael what's up yo listen uh you know you you and i we've known each other for a long time yeah you're one of my closest friends and um you know you know everything about me. I know everything about you. I just wanted to see if maybe you might want to take our relationship to the next level. What? Michael, are you kidding me? We're like best friends.
Starting point is 00:31:59 I've known you forever. You're like family. Brother! Brother! Brother! Who's that? Oh, hi. We're at a breakfast club. This is your Uncle Sharla. We're actually calling with Michael because we're trying to give him some encouragement.
Starting point is 00:32:12 We'll let him finish. Go ahead, Michael. Yeah, Uncle Sharla, Cousin Envy, Cousin Angela. We're just here for the family reunion. Continue talking to Brother Michael. Oh, my God. Really, Michael? Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:23 I mean, I don't like it. Okay, I get it. Yeah, we are best friends. We are really close friends. Don't cry, Michael. You better not cry. Yeah, Michael. Right now, you sound like a best friend.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Tamika, this is awkward. So, wait, Tamika, are you attracted to Michael at all? I think he's a wonderful guy, but I see him more like a brother. Brother! Oh, my goodness. Well, he really likes you. He feels that. Give me a high five.
Starting point is 00:32:45 It could be sparks. You don't want to give it a shot, a chance, an opportunity? I'm not going to risk our friendship for something that probably won't work out. See, Michael, now you done made it awkward, Michael. Now y'all can't even just go out and have coffee nowadays because she's going to think you like her like that. Can you guys still be friends, Tamika? Yeah, that's cool, Michael. Don't even worry about it.
Starting point is 00:33:07 I know you just broke up recently. There's all these emotions. You're still my man. We're still friends. Not my man, but my man's friend. My boy. You're my boy. Okay, everybody repeat after me.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Brother! Stop it. Michael, so how do you feel about this? I mean, it sucks, but I understand. I knew this was a possibility. I just didn't want to have any regrets either. Tameka, every time you see Michael from 9-1, I want you to say, give me a high five.
Starting point is 00:33:36 That's how y'all greet each other from 9-1. Tameka, is he just not your type? No, I mean, he's just my friend. You never looked at him like that. I've been telling him so much, yeah. All right, stop twisting the knife. Michael is a brother, just like we knew he was. Well, you guys, as you were.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Damn it, man. Back to your brother-sister relationship. I'm so sorry for you, Michael. Maybe next time. It doesn't always work. Michael, hit me up later. Yeah, I will. Wait a minute now.
Starting point is 00:34:01 But not like that. Did I hear a little backdoor still open just a little bit? Nah. Nah. Nah, nah. I'm not like that. Did I hear a little backdoor still open just a little bit? Nah. Nah. Nah, nah. I'm not going to read into anything anymore. All right. Yeah, you shouldn't, Michael.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Your instincts suck. Thank you. Take care. He's absolutely right. At least he learned from his mistakes. Don't read into anything anymore. Your crystal ball is foggy. All right, we got more coming up next.

I just told them nobody don't fart. I said, please don't do that. Is that the worst when you're on the elevator with people you don't know because you've got to make small talk?

Starting point is 00:39:32 No, I golf, but I was, like, trying to get them, because, like, if you played any sport in your life, once you get to a certain age, you know, you're not going to be running ball, you know. Got you. But, like, golf, you get to, you know, cross at your friends, and you get to ball, you know. Gotcha. But like golf, you get to, you know, cuss at your friends and you get to do, you know, you get all of the same kind of energy from golf
Starting point is 00:39:50 except you can do it till you're 80. Gotcha. So I was trying to have Marty Ma, but he ain't take to it. Do you still have him at least? I have the club. You don't got live on. You don't got live. No, we gifted.
Starting point is 00:40:03 We gifted his cool. We gifted his cool. So is this disrespectful, right? Soifting is cool. Re-gifting is cool. So it's disrespectful, right? So this is what Charlamagne, my brother, I guess you can call him that, got me for Christmas. It's right behind you. I mean, listen. It's Martin Inspired.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Gina had got Martin. Oh! Oh! Gina had got Martin something like this on an episode. Wow. You know what I mean? My wife is a little upset. She's like, what's going episode. Wow. You know what I mean? My wife is a little upset. She's like, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:40:27 Why? You know? Is that a little disrespectful or what? I'm just asking. I mean, here's the deal. I don't judge a butt by the cover, right? But what was the thinking? What was you going for?
Starting point is 00:40:40 He calls me his favorite asshole all the time. Oh, got it, got it. Boom, so an asshole from an asshole. Yeah, so he can have it at home to be reminded of the level of assholeness that he has to deal with. There you go. That's not bad. That's not bad. Give like that.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Yeah, yeah. We don't send each other that kind of stuff. And then you might want to slap it every night. Boom. That's the whole point. It's like the Apollo law. You're going to put it up in here and mount it and let people smack it when they walk in. Let's talk bad boys.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Now, why did it take so long to put this out and to get this done? Will Smith. This guy. That guy? This guy. It had to be right, man. The first bad boys, what it meant for the culture. I just didn't want to mess it up. It's like, I didn't want to do a cash grab.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Everybody's doing sequels. Let's do one. I was like, no, if we're going to make Bad Boys a third one, it has to be deservant. There has to be messages and ideas. We got to be talking about something and it's not just blowing some stuff up and getting paid.
Starting point is 00:41:40 How do we have to answer this? I'm not going to front. I was Larry. Because the first and second one, you guys are doing stunts, you're driving through things, you're breaking things. You're trying to say they're old now? Don't play them. You're trying to say they're old. You got them right. The knees ain't the same. But Will just said they play golf
Starting point is 00:41:55 because they're not going to be running around. Yeah, yeah. Switch it up a little bit. We got good stuntmen, though, in this one. Yeah, we got stuntmen now. We use them. You though in this one. Yeah, we got... So we use them. We use them this time. Yeah. And it's different also. There's different
Starting point is 00:42:09 technologies and stuff like that. So you can do stunts up to a certain point. What we didn't have in the first movie was face replacement. They do face replacement now. What the hell is that? So I can do a stunt, right? And then they have the stunt man do the exact stunt that I did
Starting point is 00:42:26 and they can match it and they can replace my face on the stuntman. Wow. Right, so they can just do it. So they can hold a single shot but they can use the actual face of the actor
Starting point is 00:42:39 and you can't tell the difference in the stunt. How much that cost? Yeesh. Yeah, no, no. That's a... Hey, there's a budget for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's expensive, bro.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Speaking of budgets, how does money work in a situation like this? Yeah, what do you mean? Do y'all get equal pay? There was a rumor that you was making like $10 million more than Martin.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Hell no. Geesh. Okay, it was 11. I'm sorry. Boy, we've been talking for four minutes. You don't go to that. Four minutes into the day of the interview.
Starting point is 00:43:05 That's it. Interview over. Try it. Try it. You know, is we finish or is we done? Okay? You know what? As we get ready for this movie, though,
Starting point is 00:43:17 you do research on how Bad Boys started, and I was reading that it was originally intended for John Lovitz and Dana Carvey. Yeah, yeah. They were the original bad boys. That would have been trash. So how did you guys end up landing it? Well, the script came to me,
Starting point is 00:43:31 and then they wanted me to pick somebody to co-star with me in the movie. And my sister Ray brought Will's attention to me, and I thought about it, so I called Will. He was like the Fresh Prince. I thought about it, I called Will. I said, let's set up a dinner. And Will came to my house and we had a dinner. And after five minutes of talking to him,
Starting point is 00:43:50 the rest is history, man. He couldn't say no. Did y'all know each other back then? We had met, but we didn't really know each other. The Bad Boys was the first time we actually sat down and chopped it up.
Starting point is 00:44:06 You can't fake and you can't buy chemistry right you can't buy chemistry it's like you either got it with somebody or you don't and you know me and this one right here it's like there's so much love and so much respect uh for each other that it and it's just fun to watch you know with people that really vibe like that. So, Martin, you never looked at it like, you watched the early Fresh Prince, and he was used to, I don't know if you remember, but he used to say his lines right before you said it.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Yeah, that was a bad look. You never looked at none of that stuff and be like, you know what, I don't know about this guy. No, I never did, I never did. Will does great work, you know, and I thought he was great on the Fresh Prince, and his energy, the energy he brings. So, I just was excited to work with him.
Starting point is 00:44:46 I was jealous as hell. I was jealous as hell of Martin. Really? So I'm glad you're being honest because I was going to ask who had the better sitcom. I think that's a matter of opinion. I'm between y'all. That's a tough one.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Who had the better sitcom? We don't call that a tie. We don't call that a tie. Do you see what he's trying to do here? I just figured out what I'm gonna get you for Christmas. Just figured out what I'm getting you for Christmas. Give him another
Starting point is 00:45:15 s***. Two of them. Alright, we got more with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Real hot, girl. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:45:38 We are The Breakfast Club. We have Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in the building still. Charlamagne. You know, Will, I always thought about this scene with you and the late, great James Avery. Yeah. When your father left. Yeah, man. Hey, he wasn't there to teach me how to shoot my first basket, but I learned, didn't I?
Starting point is 00:45:53 Got through my first day without him, right? I learned how to drive. I learned how to shave. I learned how to fight without him. I had 14 great birthdays without him. He never even sent me a damn card. Die with him! I ain't need him then, and even sent me a damn card. Die out with him!
Starting point is 00:46:09 I ain't need him then, and I don't need him now. Will, Will... You know what, Uncle Phil? I'm gonna get through college without him. I'm gonna get a great job without him. I'm gonna marry me a beautiful honey, and I'm having me a whole bunch of kids. I'm gonna be a better father than he ever was. And I sure as hell don't need him for that,
Starting point is 00:46:23 because ain't a damn thing he could ever teach me about how to love my kids. How come he don't want me, man? What did you dig into to get that kind of emotion out of that scene? Because even now, if you watch that, your eyes water. I still feel it. I still feel it. Yeah, and it's like, so everybody on the Fresh Prince
Starting point is 00:46:40 was stage-trained actors. Alfonso starting the show had 15 years of experience coming in. So I was the least experienced. The tap dance kid. The tap dance kid, yeah. You know, moonwalking into Michael Jackson. When I came on to the show, James Avery was one of the first people that pulled me up, and he was like, hey, you have real talent.
Starting point is 00:47:01 Don't squander it, right? And so he never liked nothing. He didn't like nothing I did, right? And I was always trying to get his approval, you know, Shakespearean trained, big command of his voice, you know, his body as an instrument, as a performer.
Starting point is 00:47:17 And, you know, so in that scene, it was like the first time that I ever took a real dramatic shot. And James Avery in that scene, and we're doing it, and I'm trying to get there, and I want to impress him so bad. And the first time in front of the audience, I missed it, and I messed the scene up, and I'm like, fuck, fuck, fuck, and I'm losing it in front of the audience.
Starting point is 00:47:39 You know, and he looks at me, hey! I snapped in, and he's like, use me, use me in this scene. And we went, and he said, hey! I snapped in. And he's like, use me. Use me in this scene. And we went and he said, get it together. And I settled down. He said, action. And then ultimately we did the scene. And we had the scene that was there.
Starting point is 00:47:55 And I'm holding him. And when I'm holding him, he whispers in my ear, now that's acting. Right? And I was like. But you tapped into disappointment, right? And I was like ahhhh! But you had to tell, you tapped into disappointment, right? Yeah. You disappointed him and you... Yes, absolutely. But that's what he was telling me about how to
Starting point is 00:48:13 use the actor in the scene. He was like, use me. Don't try to find it in you. So then when I tapped into the idea of how bad I wanted to impress him and how much I'm getting in, I'm feeling it now. It's like when you have those emotional toolboxes, sometimes you slip into, I can feel that emotion right now. And it was like, it was, he was the father figure that Will felt like, Will, me
Starting point is 00:48:39 personally felt like I was disappointing him in that scene. So I tapped into that and I used my relationship with James Avery to find that emotion. But, you know, for me, it's been a massive acting journey, hugely on the back of his teachings and his urging of me to always go deeper. How did you guys both get those shows, you know? And, Will, did you feel like, I'm a rapper from Philly, if I cross over, I might destroy my career? Hell yeah. And how did they give you that show?
Starting point is 00:49:11 How did that show come together? Well, for me, my manager at the time, he took me into HBO Hip, and he took me in to meet Chris Albrecht. And he was like, yo, you know, this guy's funny, and what'd you think about giving him his own show? So Chris was like, all right, we'll try it out. So I was like, yo, you know, this guy is funny, and what do you think about giving him his own show? So Chris was like, all right, we'll try it out. So I was like...
Starting point is 00:49:29 Just like that. That sounds really simple. Yeah, he was like, yeah, I'll try it out. And I was like, oh, s***. The rest was history. Wow. And that was big back then, especially for a black man. For the kind of show it was.
Starting point is 00:49:42 For you to be a hip-hop dude doing a show. And they said right away that show had good ratings. Yeah. And I did all them characters because I really wanted the show to work, you know,
Starting point is 00:49:52 and I didn't want it to fail, so I just started doing all these characters to try to push it. You know, I was going to ask you, Martin, we live in this era
Starting point is 00:49:59 of like pause and, you know, rappers saying no. When you was doing Shanaynay and you was doing scenes like all up on kids, did you ever get backlash back then from your people?
Starting point is 00:50:07 Because nowadays if a guy did that, he'd be like, pause, pause. You know what I mean? Back then it was just funny to us. It was just funny, nah. I just wanted to make people laugh, that was it. Martin, has he tried to get you to be more active on social media?
Starting point is 00:50:20 Yes, in his own way, yes. He gave me a camera. No, you can't use this. He gave me a camera. Use this. Do you have a camera team with your social media? Because you do all types of wow-ish. Are you considering jumping into it? Because you see, Will, it's been so effective for you.
Starting point is 00:50:40 We don't know as much about you now as we do about Will. Will, we didn't used to know as much. But it seems like you like it now. I love it. Right. So you think that would be something good? I'm trying to do more things. You know, I'm trying to be more creative. This guy has a creative mind, so he's always on there.
Starting point is 00:50:52 But I'm trying to find things I could do and bring to the people. So no jumping out the plane for you, Mark? No jumping out the plane or swimming with sharks and all that. None of that. Why, Will? Why? So here's what happened. So here's what happened. It's a little weird. It's not weird. It's just why. None of that. Why, Will? Why? So here's what happened. So here's what happened.
Starting point is 00:51:06 It's a little weird. It's not weird. It's just why. No, no. You got a family, Will. No, so what happened was, and it's funny because it was something like, I've been watching you for a while, and it's something that I wanted to talk to you about.
Starting point is 00:51:19 We'll dive into it offline. But the idea for me is I painted myself into a corner with Will Smith. Right. And I realized that, you know, we are we have our childhood traumas and we have our experiences. And then we all create these characters that are going to be our characters that defend us in the world. Oh, there's certain things we can't do to certain things we can't say, certain ways we react if people do something. And we create a character that we go out into the world with. Then that character wins some things for us.
Starting point is 00:51:55 It's like, oh, we succeed by behaving this way. Then what happens, you get to a point where it stops working as well. And the reason that it stops working is because it's not true really that's not really who you are and then you get backed into a corner it stops working now the question is are you going to be courageous enough and are you going to be brave enough to kill essentially the character that you've created and are you going to have the courage to live as who you really are? And on my 50th birthday, when I jumped out of that helicopter over to Grand Canyon,
Starting point is 00:52:32 that was kind of my moment for myself where I was like, I'm going to be who I am, even if it isn't in line with the Will Smith that people think I'm supposed to be. I'm going to have the courage and I'm going to have the bravery to be who I am, you know? And it's like, I've been watching you for a while. And that's what I was like. That was one of the things I wanted to talk to you about. I can see the mechanism happening in your mind. You're seeing Charlemagne Tha God as separate from you. Absolutely. I looked at a little bit of your book, too, and I was like, I want you to know who you really are is enough. That the character can die.
Starting point is 00:53:11 You can see the evolution. Because I always said I never wanted to be a character show myself. You know what I'm saying? And I just finished reading this book called The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health, and the woman, Rita Walker, said we have to be willing to let go of who we want people to think we are. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Me and Jada talk about that a lot, you know, even in the idea of our marriage and how people want us to be married versus how we're really married. You know what I mean? It's like it's a really different thing, and it's so hard to let go of the characters and what people want to see because also those characters saved your life
Starting point is 00:53:46 when you were young. Right. Yes. Those ideas saved your life. And made you money. And they made you money. You know, so letting go of that
Starting point is 00:53:55 and having the courage to really be who you are in the world, it's like, it's terrifying. Will should be a motivational speaker. He's not.
Starting point is 00:54:04 I thought you were. You follow him on Instagram? He is. All right, it's terrifying. Will should be a motivational speaker. He's not. I thought he was. He's probably on Instagram. He is. All right, we got more with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:54:17 She want to walk. She want to walk. She want to walk. With the wolves. She wanna with the wolves. She wanna with the wolves. She wanna with the wolves. I told her, ooh. Shady wanna put me inside of the cool. I can take you out of here with a jet pair. Beside your hotel with a Saji roll.
Starting point is 00:54:51 Like it when you let down your hair with no glue. And I say to myself, cause I never liked these. If you only like the guap red, like these. Why would I waste my time on a strutty that don't got me on the front of my mind? Especially when you get designed and I want it done. in the building came with the wings like a number nine yeah come through just us two i like it cuz you come cut two come through just us two i like it cuz you come cut two With the rules. She wanna with the rules. She wanna with the rules. She wanna with the rules.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Morning, everybody. It's EJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in the building still. One of your closest friends called you, right? He's a close friend to us as well. He called you and he asked you for a couple million and you gave it to him. No, you didn't.
Starting point is 00:55:50 I did not. That did not happen. When Tyrese called you and asked you for those millions, you gave it to him. What was that conversation like? No, you know, let me tell you something. Me and Tyrese, we've been friends. He's our guy, though. No, no, that's my dude.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Tyrese calls me when he don't want it cut he want it raw and uncut right and the amount of talent that dude has and all the possibilities
Starting point is 00:56:13 that Tyrese has is what I keep drumming in with him Tyrese is is functioning at 40% of the capacity
Starting point is 00:56:21 of what he really is you know and that's another thing, being brave enough to be who you really are versus being Tyrese. Exactly. I was about to say that. Tyrese ain't got to that level. Tyrese still putting the character out there.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Yeah, you know, and we all do, you know? There's still, it's like Will Smith takes good care of me. It's just, he's, it's not all the way me. There's a certain amount of pretense and inauthenticity that it takes to hold up the character. That's so f***ing interesting, because I think about that with you and Martin. Martin, I'm sure that it was a time
Starting point is 00:56:52 where everybody wanted you to be like, Martin! You know, making... Martin! Yeah, but what if that's not you? Yeah, well, it's not me all the time. Like, people think that I'm on all the time. When they see me, they think I'm always
Starting point is 00:57:05 going to be joking and all that, but I'm probably a lot more shy in person than I am, you know. You can't be shy, boy. No, believe it or not. Believe it or not,
Starting point is 00:57:14 I don't joke all the time. I don't talk all the time. I like to listen a lot and just take things in. This dude is one of the most authentic people that I have ever met. Thank you, man.
Starting point is 00:57:26 That's the first time you heard that. He never told you that before? I want you to explain the, you talked about it on Crown. Shout out to Ellie Wilson. I want you to talk about the Reggie scene in Bad Boys, right? Because, you know, I'm a father of five, right? But growing up, I'm like, if I have a daughter, I'm doing the same damn thing. Who the f*** are you?
Starting point is 00:57:43 I'm Mr. Bennett. I'm Reggie. What you doing here? Came to take home Megan. What? Came to take home Megan. How old are you? I'm 15, Mr. Bennett.
Starting point is 00:57:52 Mother f***er, you look 30. Who the f*** is Reggie? Came to take Megan out. What's wrong with you? Y'all can all scare the f***. You ain't never seen a gun before? Stop pointing the gun at the boy. Explain that to people who haven't heard
Starting point is 00:58:06 and how that whole situation happened. He was a young actor. He had never done anything, so it was his first role. So Michael Bay was concerned that he wouldn't be able to perform the level of discomfort that we needed for the scene. So Michael Bay was like, yo, don't talk to him. Don't talk to him.
Starting point is 00:58:22 He said, I want y'all to pretend, pretend like y'all aren't arguing. Pretend like you're not getting on. I just want to get them riled up. So I go and I sit down with the kids. So he's meeting Will and Martin. So I'm sitting down. I'm talking. I'm talking.
Starting point is 00:58:35 And then Martin comes up and he says, hey, Will, you know, you stepping on my lines a little bit in this scene. I need you to leave a little bit of room so I can, you know, get my line in there. And I was like, you need to get in where you fit in. Dang. And the little kid is sitting there. He's like, oh, no.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Martin was like, yo, why are you acting like that, man? I'm like, why am I acting like what? Why am I acting like what? And me and Martin start arguing in front of the kid, and this kid is sitting there like, oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Michael Bay is watching him, watching him, and as soon as he sees how the kid is terrified enough is sitting there like terrified. Michael Bay is watching him, watching him, and as soon as he sees how the kid is terrified enough, he's like, action, action. And then I go, what the f*** you want?
Starting point is 00:59:13 I'm here to pick up Megan. He was terrified. He handled it well. Yeah, he handled it well. That kid was shook for real. Have you seen him again or no? We saw him. Oh, yeah, we saw him.
Starting point is 00:59:23 Yeah, we can't get out of here. Yes, we've seen him. We've seen him again. We've seen him again. We've seen him again or no? We saw him. Oh, yeah. We saw him. Yeah, we can't get out of it. Yes, we've seen him again. We've seen him again. We've seen him again. We can't talk about it, but you will know. You will know. You will know soon. But we've seen him.
Starting point is 00:59:35 Why isn't Gabrielle Union in this one? Because she played such a big role in the second one. I just think we took a different story turn. There was no spot in the story like where we had work for, you know, for those characters to be in. But we'll definitely, Bad Boys 4.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Is it going to be in 4? Because I see it on IDM, whatever that's called. IMDB, yeah. But you said it's the last one. We're going to let the audience decide. Okay. After people see it,
Starting point is 00:59:59 like, you know, I love working with this dude, man. And it's like, I'm at the point in my life where I just, I only want to do nothing if I'm not going to have fun. You know, I love working with this dude, man. And it's like I'm at the point in my life where I just only want to do nothing if I'm not going to have fun, you know. And it's like I'll take half the money that it would be as long as, you know, I can have fun. And, you know, we come to work every day.
Starting point is 01:00:17 They're going to keep you to that now. You know, they're going to keep you to that. Because they're just like, no, we won't. No, we won't. Let me ask you this. We were wondering, did Khaled try to get you on the soundtrack? Yeah, we were talking, you know, just the timing of it. I so wanted to try to jump on there.
Starting point is 01:00:32 We worked together. Ain't he annoying? He was annoying the f*** out of you. Khaled is the best of the best, man. Khaled was coming to set a month before it was time for his scene Khaled was coming to set a month before it was time for his scene. He was coming to set a month before it was time for his scene. It's like, let me tell you, he so loves the franchise. He loved it.
Starting point is 01:00:56 He wanted it to win, and he wanted to do everything that he could do to help us win. I tell kids you have to have a DJ Khaled level of annoyance in order to get things done. No, for real. No, that's real. Let me ask a music question. We talk about music a little bit. Fresh Prince or Will Smith, who was the better rapper? Well, I think somebody said Will Smith was a whack rapper,
Starting point is 01:01:18 but Fresh Prince was dope. Somebody said that. Where'd that come from? I heard that somewhere. I heard that somewhere. Yeah, hold on. Let me dope. Somebody said that. Where'd that come from? I heard that somewhere. I heard that somewhere. That guy over there. Yeah, hold up. Let me see.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Let me see. That's where I heard that from. That's where I heard that from. I came out of that hole. But in your personal opinion, who do you think? No, you know what? There was a, in that same thing, there was a certain amount of rawness and unbridled creativity during the first part of my career. And then once I started winning, it did kind of narrow the avenues of what I wanted to do.
Starting point is 01:01:57 It was more important to me to win than to be me. You know, so there was a certain amount. There was a certain amount, the Fresh Prince was wild and raw and unapologetically himself. And then Will Smith got a little bit more polished and once
Starting point is 01:02:16 you line up a couple of number ones in a row, you get that taste for blood in your mouth. And that taste sort of destroys the vastness of your creative mind. I remember hearing you on Rap Radar podcast, and you said that it was a point where you didn't even want to curse. Yeah, well, that was my grandmother.
Starting point is 01:02:34 You betrayed the image. That was my grandmother. Okay, okay, okay. That was my grandmother. For you, in comedy, does that work in comedy, too? Like, as you get more famous, you can't be as raw, you feel like, as you used to be, because you're still doing comedy tours. Yeah. I know you got a lot of comments coming out with you but how does that work in comedy I don't know I don't compromise my comedy you know I
Starting point is 01:02:51 never did in in the past you know when I put out you so crazy they wanted me to water it down and give it our rating and I took a nc-17 just so I could say what I wanted to say. You're glistening all over your body. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't like to compromise my comedy, and I don't do it today. I just do what I want to do and have fun with it. What's the worst decision that both of you guys made in your career? Like, what's one thing you say, damn, I shouldn't have did that? Or what did you pass up or something that you regret?
Starting point is 01:03:22 I made the Wild Wild West instead of making the Matrix. Yeah, that was a terrible, that was a poor choice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very poor choice. What about you, Martin? I didn't go with him on the last press junket. Mm-hmm. For bad boys, too?
Starting point is 01:03:38 For bad boys. He did it by himself. And now that I see what we, on this press junket, all that we got to do and the fun that we had. Why did you go? It's different. Was that during the wild phase when you was waving the gun on Vantoria Boulevard?
Starting point is 01:03:53 No, no, no. No, it was just a different time and you know they didn't want to fly me private. I wanted to go private. It was politics. But I've learned from now and I will do something
Starting point is 01:04:09 different now. Alright, we got more with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Let's get into a little Will Smith mini mix. Alright, let's have some fun with it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ and DJ and DJ and

Starting point is 01:04:29 donkey donkey donkey donkey donkey donkey donkey donkey
Starting point is 01:04:29 donkey donkey donkey donkey donkey donkey donkey donkey
Starting point is 01:04:34 donkey donkey donkey donkey donkey donkey donkey know that kobe bryant had an untimely demise as he was one of multiple fatalities in a helicopter crash in calabash's california and allison morrison of msnbc was reporting on this tragic situation
Starting point is 01:04:51 and this is what happened the kind of star that was perfectly cast on the los angeles niggers los angeles like this if i could ask you to stay with us now of course the blacklash was swift on social media. People were calling for her firing, so she apologized by sending out the following tweet. She said, earlier today, while reporting on the tragic news of Kobe Bryant's passing, I unfortunately started on air combining the names of the Knicks and the Lakers to say Nakers. Please know I did not and would never use a racist term. I apologize for the confusion
Starting point is 01:05:26 this caused. And she put a never in capital letters. She would probably have said that on there. She probably would have said, please know I did not and would never use a racist term. She would have said that on there, but she tweeted it. She said she apologized for the confusion this caused. First of all, Allison,
Starting point is 01:05:43 the Knicks have nothing to do with this. Like absolutely zero. Apologize for the confusion this caused. First of all, Allison, the Knicks have nothing to do with this. Nothing at all. Like, absolutely zero. Okay, those teams, the Knicks and the Lakers, are on two different coasts. Kobe never played for the Knicks. Like, there was absolutely zero reason for the Knicks to be on your mind. They didn't even play each other last night.
Starting point is 01:05:57 There was nothing, no reason. Yeah, I don't understand it. So that lie you concocted to cover up, you know, you saying the N-word, that's not going to fly. Now, at first I thought Ned to cover up you saying the N-word, that's not gonna fly. Now at first I thought Nakers didn't sound nothing like the N-word. Okay? But if you say it fast, Nakers. Kinda. Nakers. Alright? Kinda. Alright? Nakers rhymes
Starting point is 01:06:16 with Lakers, Takers, Bakers, Quakers, Fakers, Shakers, Makers. But none of those words sound like the words you use. Okay? The words you use sounds like bigger, tigger, trigger, jigger, figure. And it's a word I'm sure some people would use to describe an NBA team full of black people. Now, you know we have this program called Normalized, right? It's like hearing things in HD.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Last week we put it on Wendy Williams passing gas. This week we are putting it on Allison Morris to see if she said Nakers are the actual N-word. So let's play Allison Morris regular first. The kind of star that was perfectly cast on the Los Angeles Nakers, Los Angeles Lakers. Kavita, if I could ask you to stay with us. Now let's play Allison Morris with the N-word normalized. You can hear it in HD.
Starting point is 01:07:02 The kind of star that was perfectly cast on the Los Angeles Lakers. Los Angeles Lakers. Kavita, if I could ask you to stay with us. No debate here, okay? I know people are saying to themselves, what was she thinking? What was on her mind? Well, the answer to that is simple. Niggas, okay?
Starting point is 01:07:21 We heard what you said, and you know how it sounded. You know how it sounded to us at a time like this? This is how it sounded to us. You're a nigger. It's amazing that a broadcaster at a time like this could make such a mistake, okay? In a moment where people are already dealing with so much hurt, so much pain, I'm not gonna speculate
Starting point is 01:07:38 about Allison's character, because I don't know her. Never heard of her until this moment. I just know that some people have such deep-rooted hatred for others that even in a tragic situation like this, how they really feel about others comes out. Okay? I'm not saying that's Allison because I don't know her. I just know that for a
Starting point is 01:07:54 word to come out of your mouth when reporting on a situation like this, when for the N-word to come out of your mouth when reporting on a situation like this, it's just stupid. And Donkey of the Day is all about giving people the credit they deserve for being stupid. Please let Remy Ma give Allison Morris the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw.
Starting point is 01:08:12 You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Now what happened to Allison, guys? Anything? Huh. I was thinking about who was it. It was another news reporter that had a slip of the tongue also. Did they fire him?
Starting point is 01:08:26 Yeah, he got fired. What did he say? He said N-word too? I'm trying to remember because we talked about it up here. I'm trying to remember exactly what it was. I got to look this up. Well, once again, rest in peace to Kobe Bryant. He ended up getting fired, though.
Starting point is 01:08:39 I remember that. Absolutely. Yeah, rest in peace to Kobe Bryant. I'm going to keep saying this all morning because I just think people need to hear it. It's just another reminder that death really does not discriminate. Nobody is untouchable. Nobody is indestructible. Nobody is a mythical creature who won't ever taste death.
Starting point is 01:08:53 And I know it seems like a tragedy like this isn't supposed to happen to someone like Kobe, but we know that's not the case because death does not discriminate. All right, it was a meteorologist that for Martin Luther King Jr., he said Martin Luther Kuhn King Jr. Remember that? That's wild. And we talked about this a lot up here, and he ended up getting fired. Yeah, he should have got fired for that. All right, well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Yee. Eat the bread. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:09:33 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, We Are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Vine from Detroit. What up, dog? What up, dog? Shout out to the D. What's good? What's your question for Yeezy? Nothing. Okay, well, I'm from Detroit. What up, dog? What up, dog? Shout out to the D. What's good? What's your question for Yeezy?
Starting point is 01:09:45 Nothing. Okay, well, I'm from Detroit. My baby daddy, he's from Bedstock, Brooklyn. That's where I live. Okay, but I don't like that right now because I was trying to find him up in Atlanta City or whatever. We were making our money or whatever. And then this a**hole is up with my money,
Starting point is 01:10:05 and we're just up and taking over with then this with my money, and we took the check on another chick with my money. Wait, slow down, slow down, slow down. So you guys were in Atlantic City. Y'all was making money together. What were you guys doing? I was tricking folks. Okay, so you're an escort? Yeah, well, something like that.
Starting point is 01:10:21 I was just getting money. We was doing everything to get money, basically. I like money or whatever. But at the end, well, something like that. I was just getting money. We was doing everything to get money, basically. I liked the money or whatever. So he's a pimp. But at the end, basically, and at the end, well, he do a little bit of everything. I'm just saying, like, he was making money again, and I was making money as well. He went to Turkey and take us where I was pregnant and told me I was in a way. I'm in a way.
Starting point is 01:10:39 So I did, and I robbed his ass. So wait, hold on, hold on. You robbed your pimp? I robbed my baby daddy now. He's my baby daddy. What'd you take? What'd you take? I took two Rolex watches.
Starting point is 01:10:50 I took the Chanel bag. I took whatever I took. His other baby mama took the fake. We was climbing up the damn condo, and the neighbors didn't say nothing because they saw me always in and out. What size are those Rolexes? Shut up, Envy.
Starting point is 01:11:03 I'm sorry. Go ahead. So you robbed your baby daddy, alongvy. I'm sorry. Go ahead. So you robbed your baby daddy along with his other baby mom? Yeah, and she don't like me because I caught her watching to give her half up. It's just the point that he want me to move out there. How can I life together? You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:11:18 I work a freaking lot. This is ghetto shenanigans. I'm going to school or whatever. And now he told me he ain't taking care of my son unless I pay him. So he's not going to take care of the child you guys have together
Starting point is 01:11:32 unless you pay him? Yep. Isn't that his job to kind of pay to take care of his own child? He said he can't take care of my son unless I take care of the
Starting point is 01:11:41 family. And I told him, I said no. I'm not about to do that. Okay, I think you got to sort these things out. Number one, first and foremost, for the sake of your child, right? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:11:50 You're not trying to be with him, are you? I don't know. You don't know. So in a way, you are. You want to get back together with him. I just want to get some money. Hey, boo, all money ain't good money, though, right? I need some money, but...
Starting point is 01:12:02 I'm just saying, don't you want to be there for your child and be a good example and a role model and make sure nothing happens to you and you don't go to jail or something worse happens? Yeah, that's the only thing.
Starting point is 01:12:12 That's in the way. You know what I'm saying? I was like, you know, I can't be doing all that because I can't get locked up. You know what I'm saying? I've never been to jail.
Starting point is 01:12:21 And you will get locked up at some point. And I don't think jail's for me. I'm sitting up here for eight hours. I don't think jail's for me. I'm sitting up here for eight hours. I don't think it's for you either. Listen, in my own opinion, I think that you should be happy that you managed to get away from this man that was a pimp and doing everything else
Starting point is 01:12:37 because that was just going to go down the wrong path for you. Listen, we all want to get money, right? But sometimes you've got to sacrifice and go through periods of time that we're not making that much money so that later on in the future, in a couple of years from now, you can legitimately make good money. Well, I go to law school. I'm entering to law school the year after next. But he's talking about that's in the way. Why are you even listening to what he has to say about what you want to do with your life?
Starting point is 01:13:02 Because he's telling me I need direction. It sounds like somebody that's advising you to not go to school and not go to law school and saying that that's getting in the way is actually in the way himself. It sounds like in order for him to control you, he wants to make sure that you never make something more out of your life. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 01:13:18 You're right. Don't go back out there. He's right. Yeah, you got me. He's telling me don't go back out there. All right. Well, I'm telling you don't go back out there. He's trying to persuade me and talking about we're going to get this nice-ass house and all this stuff. But he's lying. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:13:33 And you know he mess with mad other chicks, too. Oh, of course. And he's telling them the same thing. He brought me to his other chicks. He ain't no liar. He's going to let me know what it is right then and there. He ain't got the secret code. Nothing. That's the only thing.
Starting point is 01:13:48 And you're okay with that? Yeah, I mean, I don't even know. I'm going to tell you something right now. We always say, well, at least he ain't lying. Well, at least he kept it real. At least he's up front about it. These other dudes out here be lying. No, it's not at least that. It's not okay for somebody to do stuff like that to you just because
Starting point is 01:14:04 they being honest about it. Yeah, you're right. But, I mean, I prefer somebody to tell me the truth. I'd rather... How about you would rather somebody not do that? How about be with somebody that doesn't do those things, that's not bringing you to other women's houses, that's not cheating on you, that helps you take care of your family, that supports you, and wants you to go to school and do better for your life?
Starting point is 01:14:23 Why can't you find somebody like that? Man, that's some square s***, though. Like, these guys out here, they want you to give them money, and then they ain't doing nothing for you. Listen, forget about them doing something for you. What about you doing something for yourself? I mean, I can do something for myself. I got my own s***.
Starting point is 01:14:40 All right, good. Well, you keep your own-ish and take care of your child and handle that. Instead of thinking about getting this fast money, think about securing a bag for later on in the future, having a foundation, having your education together so you can do and be anything you want to be in life. Yeah, you're right. I'm going to take that advice.
Starting point is 01:14:58 Y'all have a good day. All right, you too. I hope she don't call him right now. All right, asky. I don't even know what went on in that call, but if you deciphered it and figured it out, I'm happy. It was just madness. All righty.
Starting point is 01:15:09 Well, Ask Yee, 800-585-1051. Keep it locked. We have more coming up next. It's The Breakfast Club. Like we always do with this. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:15:27 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, We Are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Juicy. Juicy. Okay, Juicy, what's your question for Yee? So, basically, I feel like I understand celebrities feel like, you know, all their fans are crazy or whatever.
Starting point is 01:15:42 But I feel like if I go to every show, like, I'm up there supporting you. I'm telling all my homegirls about you. I play your music all the time. You know, anytime you come out, I'm there supporting you. If I respectfully ask you to come with, you know, accompany to my appointment, you know, that basically is going to let me know if I got breast cancer or not. If I ask you as a fan, like, hey, I have, you know, a lump in my breast. And, you know, I had two appointments.
Starting point is 01:16:08 And the results, you know, come out, you know, on the second appointment. Wait, now, who are you asking? You're asking celebrities? Just random people? Well, the person I asked, I've met him three times. So, you know, I'm not like a crazy fan. Like, I'm a fan who's met him. Oh, you're definitely a crazy fan.
Starting point is 01:16:24 Okay. How? definitely a crazy fan. Juicy. I support you as an artist. I asked you to come with me to find out if I got breast cancer or not. I'm crazy. Juicy, celebrity or not, you've met somebody three times. Right. I wouldn't ask somebody I met
Starting point is 01:16:41 three times. Did you ask your mama? What about your daddy? One of your best friends or something? My mom is dead, and my dad, he's not here. So I'm not sure I have friends, and I do have family, but I feel like you're somebody that is able to help me in the sense that I wouldn't be in there crying. I wouldn't die if I found out.
Starting point is 01:17:02 You know what I mean? Who is this celebrity? I don't want to say that because I don't want to be like a crazy person. I don't feel like I'm crazy for asking you to help me. Who is the celebrity? Well, so Juicy, so let me, okay, so he blocked you after you asked? Yes. It's not like I was like, you know, crazy or anything.
Starting point is 01:17:18 And I felt like I was, I said I would be grateful to have your support. That's what I said. I think you should tell us who it is so maybe he'll feel guilty and then maybe he'll go with you on your next appointment. Stop it. Who is the person? That's messed up. I can't.
Starting point is 01:17:29 I feel like what if he's. Give us a hint. Give us a hint. Is he a singer? Yes. Trey Songz. Have you had sex with him? Why is y'all so right?
Starting point is 01:17:38 Is it Trey? Is it Trey? It's Trey, right? That was so sad. It's Trey. I know it was Trey. The reason I know it was Trey is because only Trey's right? That was so sad. It's Trey. I know it was Trey. The reason I know it was Trey is because only Trey's fans would feel like he's
Starting point is 01:17:47 close enough with them to ask him to go to a breast cancer appointment. But it's just so silly. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Juicy, juicy, juicy. I'm supporting the whole music world because I feel like if I support you to that level, I spend a lot of money. I travel to shows
Starting point is 01:18:02 outside, not because I wanted something in return, just because I wanted to support you as a fan. I'm like, you're great. Juicy, I just want to say something here. Number one, I just want to tell you, I am sorry that you're dealing with this, with the lump in your breast and having to go to these appointments and everything. I'm not crazy.
Starting point is 01:18:19 I'm not. I'm a very good person. Like, I do a lot for people. Like, I take care of all my siblings. I'm the oldest. My mom passed away. The person told you that they're not crazy more than seven times in a five-minute conversation. But Juicy, let me explain something to you, okay?
Starting point is 01:18:34 The artist is not asking you personally, hey, I need you to come to my show. You're doing this out of your own free will, and you should never do things to support people expecting them to do something for you in return. You should do it because you want to do it. You're right. So if you really support a person and you're, you know, a true, true person that feels like connected to somebody, you go to those shows, you spend your money because you want
Starting point is 01:18:58 to because it makes you feel good and you should not say, well, because I've done this for you, you need to do this for me. I'm not. I'm just saying that I feel like when I did ask. How about you could ask him to just, hey, can you offer me some kind words or let me know that I'm in your thoughts? Things like that. But you can't expect him to leave what he has to do and his responsibilities.
Starting point is 01:19:17 He's only met you three times. And I'm sure he does appreciate your support. And he loves the fact that you come out and support him. But you should never do anything in life expecting something in return. I never expect anybody to do anything for me. I can ask, and if you say no, I have to respect that. You sound very entitled. You're right, and I do respect that.
Starting point is 01:19:35 You didn't even offer that man no fellatio or nothing for us. Stop it. I did. You know, I did. I asked him. I was like, hey, I'll take you to dinner, you know. What? You know.
Starting point is 01:19:44 On what? Did you say I will give you fellatio? Well, I mean, it's. I asked him. I was like, hey, I'll take you to dinner, you know. What? You know. On what? Did you say I will give you fellatio? Well, I mean, it's Trey Songz. He should already know that. Like, it's not. True, true. You got a point.
Starting point is 01:19:54 Listen, you're making a valid point. Girl, this is not. Okay. My goodness. Anyway, just leave him alone. Don't expect anything. Continue to be a fan and a supporter and just chill. Juicy, you got it.
Starting point is 01:20:09 For things like that, you really have to call on people that are very close to you, not somebody that you've met three times. That you really don't know. You can't push it. When I told my grandma, she just was like, oh, my God, it's the end of the world. So I stopped telling people. I was like, oh, well, I can't tell nobody else. Because she started crying. She's like, oh, you're going to die.
Starting point is 01:20:22 So I was like, if I tell anybody else close to me, I don't want my brother and sister to hate me. She says she has a lump. Oh, you got breast cancer. She doesn't know. She got a lump. You have breast cancer? It's a bump in my breast. She doesn't know what it is.
Starting point is 01:20:33 Well, you don't know what it is. But I say this. You need to go to the damn doctor, not Trace Zong. I did go to the doctor. I made two appointments. And that's why I told him. I was like, hey, could you come meet for the one where she's going to give you the results? So she was waiting on Trey Summers
Starting point is 01:20:45 to go to the doctor? Girl, just go handle your business and worry about yourself, okay? If you don't hang up on this dumb ass girl. Oh my gosh. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 01:20:53 Juicy, good luck to you, man. I would have mercy. We hope that you don't have breast cancer. Then you be trying to have patience with these people and then you talking to them
Starting point is 01:21:00 and as soon as you call a stupid, you the bad guy. That was the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life. Juicy, if you're listening, hit up Charlamagne and hit up Yee and, and as soon as you call us stupid, you the bad guy. That was the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life. Well, Juicy, if you're listening, hit up Charlamagne and hit up Yee and ask them to go with you. I'm not coming with you.
Starting point is 01:21:10 Charlamagne's busy. Charlamagne, get out of here, okay? That's crazy. Ask Yee, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Come on, Mom. Need relationship advice?
Starting point is 01:21:35 Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Yee. what's up it's the breakfast club and it's time for ask ye now who's on the line hey hi hi how are you i'm good how are you i'm fine thank you i'm such a huge fan um and i'm whispering because my husband is sleepy, just came home from work. But this is a secret that my son expressed to me that he wants to keep a secret. Okay. So my son, he just turned 10, and he told me that he's made like boys and girls. Okay. And what did you say? I told him no matter what, that I will love him. And whatever decision he makes, I'm going to stand next to him.
Starting point is 01:22:08 But I'm not sure if what he's feeling is correct or anything. Like, I don't know. I need help with this. I'm not outside. I'm handling it good with him, and I'm trying to keep our relationship. You know, I want him to come to me. Right, for anything. About anything. keep our relationship you know um i want him to come to me right for anything about anything but inside i'm like kind of panicking and i don't you know like i'm going back and forth with myself
Starting point is 01:22:32 well what are you panicking about because number one he's a young black man already um and you know just to be open and he's already being bullied. He's already had mental health issues. And, you know, it's just tough out here for him. So one more stigma on top of that is just, you know, he's already expressed in the third grade that he wanted to commit suicide. Wow. It sounds like, have you put yourself... Now I'm thinking, like, maybe this is, you know,
Starting point is 01:23:01 what everything was that he was hiding, you know? Right. Yes, because it is painful to have these things that you want to hide. You don't want people to know. It's great that he felt like he could tell you. Yes, that's what I told him. Right, and start expressing that to you. And you have to keep those lines of communication open.
Starting point is 01:23:18 I think your response was amazing. And I understand that you are concerned because that's your child. So you don't want him to be out in this world where people can be really nasty and cruel. And I exactly right. So he expressed to me that he does like a boy in school. And like, you know, like, I don't I don't know how to how to handle everything like like this is a lot like he's only 10. Is he too young to have these feelings? Is he, you know, like, is this something that's normal? Is this going to change? I have so many questions. Like, I don't, I don't, I need help. And you know what, honey, there's nobody that can even
Starting point is 01:23:54 answer all those questions for you because he probably doesn't even understand everything right now. He just knows how he's feeling and at least he's able to express how he's feeling and that's all he can do. Now you got him some professional help somebody that he could speak to so that they can help him navigate and maybe both of you should go and i think that i've not done that far you know like i'm still kind of in shock that he just expressed this to me two days ago right so i'm just like still trying to you know see like i don't want, you know, feel like he can't trust me. And then he's also expressing to me, like, you know, please don't tell my dad and don't tell this person. And, you know, like I just he's scared of everyone's reaction.
Starting point is 01:24:38 Right. So and you should respect that, of course. And you are. Yeah, don't tell anybody else. But definitely go set up something for you guys to find somebody good to talk to. If you hold on the line, I actually have somebody that can be really helpful with that. And that would be Dr. Kendall Jasper. And I always refer people to him when we're in situations. And I feel like this is dire because I want you to be able to know how to deal with this. I'm not an expert in that, but I do feel like what you've done so far has been amazing as a mom. And I know that I want you to be able to express to him in the best way possible how much you love him, how much you care about him and also help him learn what he needs to do in
Starting point is 01:25:15 order to be more comfortable and not have feelings of suicide, because that's major too. You don't want him to ever think about that again. That's my worst fear. All right. Hold on the line. I'm going to hook you up with Dr. Kendall Jasper. Thank you so much, Yee. Thank you so
Starting point is 01:25:28 much. No problem. Alright, ask Yee. 800-585-1051. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for your positive note. Give them some positivity.
