I guess you're right, too. Okay. Yeah, well, Nicole Bell will be joining us. That's right. Now, if you don't know who Nicole Bell is, that is Sean Bell's wife. Sean Bell was killed 19 years ago. Murdered in cold blood. When police shot at him 50 times, it was the day before his wedding.

He was having a bachelor party in Queens. And as he was leaving, police ruled up on him, thought they saw a gun. They claimed that. saw a gun and shot at this brother 50 times and he was killed. And all the officers were acquitted. How? All the officers were acquitted. That's right. So, um, she, they did a movie.

Salute the movie. The movie comes out this Friday talking about everything that happened and the fight that she's going through to, she was trying to get these officers charged. It's called aftershocked in the Cole P. Bell story. And I mean, the thing that I like that the movie explores, it explores all the, you know, trauma she experienced after.

That's right. You know, the killing of Sean Bell. because I think a lot of times, you know, we hear about the story, but we don't think about what life is like for the families, you know, way, way, way after the fact, even today. That's right. So we're going to be chopping it up with her in a little bit. And then don't forget, get it off your chest, 800-585-105-1.

They're blaming it on me, Desire. I'm sorry. Can you hear me now? Yes, we can. Start from the beginning, please. Okay, I was saying, I'm tired of these white people who keep trying to touch my hair in the workplace. I had someone come all the way over to my desk and try to put her hands in my hair. I have sister locks. They're not brids.

They're not Swiss. And I literally looked at her and said, what are you doing? And she goes, oh, I just, you had one piece out of place. But I know you're not supposed to touch black women's hair. But then why are you doing it? I didn't get, I didn't realize why people were still doing that. And if you had a place, if you had a hair out of place, she should have just told you.

Absolutely. Exactly. You walked all the way over to my desk instead of just saying, hey, you got a, you got a peep. You know what you should do? You should be like, I would put my hands through your hair, but I hear you guys have lice. You should do that. And she'll never ever touch your head again. She'll never even walk over till your desk.

Damn. You're right. I heard it's a little greasy. I heard it's a little greasy. Yeah, but say lights. Oh, girl, they hate that. That's like saying roaches for us. Say, say, oh, yeah.

I heard you guys have lies. Next time to say lies. Yes, say it. I hope you could fight, that's all I'm to say. I'll be like. Well, my mom's from Brooklyn,

so you know, I got a little bit in me. What that mean? First of all, I hate when people do that. And your city can't fight for you. I hate when people say, I'm from Brooklyn,

like that's like as Brooklyn can make you fight better. That's right. Yes, I can leave. Yes, you know what I'm going to. Brooklyn, Baltimore, Chicago, yes. And her mother is from the church. Somebody from Missouri. Beech all ass.

She crashed it. I gave her another car that I had and told her pick up the car payment. She let it get repossessed. Now I'm waking up at like 3.30, 4 in the morning to bring her to work for like $4.45. You got a good job. Who are you getting all that money from, bud?

So I'm trying to see, you know, I don't want to break our heart, but, you know, it's kind of taking a big hole on me. And also, like, it's kind of sending me into, like, a depression because, you know, it's just too much on me. Yeah, I agree. I think you should cut her off. Yeah. How long y'all been together? Well, I had a brother who passed away. We were just talking, and when my brother passed away, we got really close.

We've been together for about four years now. I don't want to break our heart, you know what I'm saying? Do you love her? Oh, no, no, no. Go ahead. Yeah, I definitely love her, but, you know, I'm thinking about the real life aspect over the love aspect, you know. I'm with you. Yeah, you should do that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, you're not going to break her heart. It's okay. Well, chef, her heart will probably be broken, but you can't do it at the expense of your own heart. You can't stay with her. Leave her alone. Let me be hard. Have you had the conversation with it? Have you told her, like, look, man, you hurting my feelings with this.

I don't like the way you'd be blowing my money, okay? Yeah, I had the conversation. with her. She cried and I kind of get stuck it in. She asked me to give her time to fix it and, you know, but it's kind of been a while. She was in school also when I met her and she dropped out of school since I met her. Nursing school.

Envy, Jess Hilary. Shalom and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lawlerosa filling in for Jess if you're just joining us. 800-585-105.1. We're asking if you see your friend's man or your friend's girl cheating on her or cheating on him, would you tell him? You are saying yes.

Yes, to a certain extent. Okay, what's that extent? She got to hit that. Once my sister hit that threshold of, like, You so stupid There's nothing I can do Ain't no coming back I'm out of it

Okay But he also talked about Not being able to go over the house At this point I'm probably not allowed at your house anyway Because your man hates me Because you're

When you're upset You're calling me to go outside And he's upset about that Because he knows I'm the one I told on him Yeah it depends how close I am with the person If I'm real close That's my bro

Then I'm gonna have to let them know If I'm not close I'm in my business But if it's one of those shaky situations Where you had conversations Before And they just acting like they don't hear you, then I'm not going to say nothing. My mind my business, and I'm just going to let it happen because you ain't going to listen

to me anyway. You're going to call me a hater anyway. I'm just going to let the cars fall. And then when you're crying, I'm just going to be like, I told, you know, I'm going to say, I told you so. Charlem ain't telling him. Absolutely, I'm telling on that whore. And the reason I'm telling on that whore, because women have been telling on men for years.

And also, I was born in 1978. I'm 46 years old. So I'm grown, and my friends are grown. So this isn't no boyfriend or girlfriend thing. This is a marriage. And you are breaking vows. vows that you made in front of God. Therefore, I, being a messenger of God and one of God's greatest public servants,

I will do my due diligence and my public service and tell on this now horrible woman who has cheated on her husband, okay, and broken these amazing vows that this man made, I am absolutely positively telling on her. Well, you're the whole police, you sound like you were the guy in the whole. I've been seen something to say something. Now you're the Instacart police because I was just ordering groceries for my cousin and helping my cousin with the groceries. Now you all insta carting and it all up in my police.

Like, don't do that. It depends. Once again, it depends. Like I said, I'm grown. So my friends are usually married, right? So the people I'm going to be telling on are married people. I feel it.

Okay? I'm not telling on, you know. I know some people who, because it gets to the point of marriage will definitely not say anything because they're like, that's her husband. She needs to deal with that. Huh? I know people that literally will not.

They don't, they don't get married people business. They don't get a married people business. If the boy for the girlfriend, they'll rather tell. If I see my man's wife cheating, I'm going to tell my man immediately. Make sure you go file that divorce. Let them know it's irreconcilable differences.

Don't give her nothing. Jesus Christ. She don't get half of nothing because she was out here cheating on you, King. All right? She knows she got a whole family at home. Who hurt you? Hello, who's this? Yo, what's good?

NV. This Drake from Brooklyn. Drake from Brooklyn. Now, you see your man's girl at Starlets at the strip club. She would have another do. You tell him? I ain't going to hold you. I don't really like to gossip or stuff like that.

Or use word of mouth I don't want to come back Oh, you a hater Uh-uh So you know what I ain't gonna tell him But I tell you what though You can least get a sneak

A little picture And send him a pick Now listen That's what I'm about to tell you I'm not gonna be the one To tell them The pictures and videos are 4K That's what's gonna tell my man

You know what I'm saying I ain't on sweet talk about it I'm gonna show you Um So it's different things But you know I ain't gonna be to tell her But the pictures and videos I'm gonna tell them

But also what you lying Because if you take a video and then you send it to your man, the first thing your man will hit you back is, what's this? Exactly, you've got to explain it. And now that whole text coming, that long text thread. I was at the club last night and this is what I saw. Do I got to explain it or the videos and pictures are going to explain it? You don't have to explain it.

You know, I put your tag on it. Okay. Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this? ATL. That's your name, ATL. I know that's right, girl. ATL, that's what we're going with.

All right, ATL. Now, you see your girl's man in the club. He had, I don't know. what's one of the spots? He had magics or something like that. Cheetah. Oh, he had cheetah, wherever he at. You tell him?

I am not telling. If we know your man is a serial cheetah, why am I getting involved? You minding your business. You're not even going to take a picture of nothing. I'm not saying anything, but the second part to that is why is it that she can cut me off

and not tell him, but she don't cut him off for having an affair every quarter. Every quarter we're doing this. You know, I don't like the fact that you're not being honest, ATL. The reason you can't tell your girl, girls because you know black men don't cheat

ain't nothing to talk about ain't nothing to tell you on what when y'all don't say that clarify black men don't cheat oh okay you got to like some new ones that drop where they at black men so so you're going to be bringing the phone over to bust this man every

quarter or every woman every quarter every quarter you're going to do this well I would never have to do that to a man because black men don't cheat but for that woman who's out here cheating on her husband absolutely black women don't cheat either we just order the groceries and help our cousins I like to watch the You're saying black women don't cheat, as in with a comma, like black women, comma, don't cheat.

I like that, Lauren. Hello, who's this? Encourage these horses to not cheat. Hello? Hello? What's your name, bro? This is Hakeem out of Houston, Bill, Patterson, New Jersey. All right, Patterson, the Houston.

All right. So now you're in the club. You're area 29. You see your man's girl all over some dude. You telling him? Well, yes. Of course. Quick, I'm calling.

Like, yo, dude, you're, you're talking. Girl at such and such and I'm taking a picture and sending it to me. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. I might do like Charlemagne and FaceTime like, yo, what's up, boo?

I ain't know you was doing like that. Damn. Yeah. That's right. Damn. I'm out there. But I even got one better for you. Okay.

My ex was cheating with another dude was cheating on his wife. I found out. I told him, I said, listen, keep cheating on her. Don't tell her, because if you tell her, I'm going to tell your wife. This idiot.

cold and messed up his little side piece. I don't get it. First of all, black men don't cheat. I don't even know what you're talking about, sir. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Black men cheating.

He was clearly Caucasian, Lauren. He sounded a little Caucasian. He definitely sounded Caucasian. You don't be paying it. 8-585-105-1. Ladies, if you see that your girl's man is cheating, are you telling them? Fellas, if you see your man's

girl cheating, are you telling? That's the question. Let's talk about it. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club We're asking 800-585-105-1 if you see your friend's man or girl cheating. Are you telling her? Now, this situation comes from Saucy Santana

to play with Saucy Santana said. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's trust to you. So talk to us. You see your man's girl cheating. You tell him? Who would?

Under no circumstances, I'm not telling him. I mean, why would I hide that from him? That's supposed to my boy, because eventually he's going to find out and then it's going to be mad at me if I didn't say nothing. Okay. So that's like the first time

she caught cheating. But like what if it's like, you want to six time she didn't been caught? You calling him? I'm calling. Not only are we calling him and telling him how stupid he is

for still being out here with this little whore. Okay. All right. Yes, I'm calling every time. Your horror is different. I don't know why. I'm calling every time

simply because I need him to know how stupid we know he is. Hello, who's this? Erica. Calling from where? I'm calling from Ghana. Oh, Ghana? I stopped.

I literally stopped. I'm headed to meet the president, but I wanted to call in because the topic as it is every day was so amazing. All right. Hold on. You brought to go meet the president of Ghana?

The IHard Radio at Works in Ghana? I guess so. So I streamed from my phone. I've been here for 15 months. Oh, that's you. They're going to stream the service. So today is the swearing-in ceremony of diacrine.

You know, 98 citizens, and they've only done it three times. Stevie Wonder did it a few months ago, and I'm doing it today. Tell them I want citizenship, man. It's 1.25 p.m. in Ghana. If anybody listening to Charlamina, God wants his citizenship for him and his whole family. I have property in Ghana. I love Ghana. I live in a crock. I live in a cry. I live in the atomic nuclear area, but I have a property

somewhere else as well. So look me up on our own Hillside Solutions, DNA, DLT testing company on IG. So send me a message. or give me another number, and I promise you, I got you. I'm going to tell our producer get your info. I was going to buy an apartment in Ghana. I still might ask you. Take Charlotte to Ghana, so that way, you know, these women who need to help their cousin with their groceries can do it in peace.

Oh, right. So, ma'am. Ma'am, so that now answer the question, you find. Y'all really got to get connected. I'm sorry. Y'all really got to get connected to Ghana because there's so much coming here and it's so much takeover and we're moving here every single day. Oh, I know.

I love Ghana. Everything. It is everything to me. It is everything I thought it would be. Okay. But go ahead. I'm sorry. Go ahead.

So, well, first of all, where did you come from? What state? I came from, I'm originally from Kentucky, but I came from Tampa, Florida. Okay. And I just got tired of racism. I got tired of the vividry. I got tired of just us not being able to be put in position, no matter how smart you are, no matter what you own, no matter how much money you have, it will never be enough.

Gotcha. So now the question is, you out there in Ghana. you see your girl's man out there dancing with some next chick. You tell him? Dancing is nothing. Cheating. Okay, cheating, cheating, cheating, kissing, loving, hugging,

hugging, hugging. Cheating is a different story because I'll say this, because your character should speak for itself that he would have enough sense. Anybody that knows me knows that they can't do certain things in front of me because I stand for something, right?

He would tell her himself because the pressure will be applied so heavy. I'm not going to say anything. I'm going to just look at him. Mm-hmm. So he knows. He knows that you know now. Yeah, he got to do something. He got to react. So hopefully. First, I'm going to have a respectable conversation with him.

How would he do that situation if he were me, right? Put the shoe on the other foot. So give me the exact same gravity of grace that you would expect to be given unto you. I don't know that. I'm with you. Thank you, Mama. Hold on. We're going to put you on holes, Eddie. Get your info, please. Okay. So she says she would have a little bit.

a righteous conversation with him. Right. Or she would just look at him and be like, you know what I'm about to do so you better do it beforehand. Mm-mm. I ain't extending that grace.

Mm-mm. So what's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is, man, if you're a man and you see your man's wife or your man's girl out there cheating, tell on her, tell on her little broke ass. Okay, how did she out here cheating on this man that's taking care of her?

Okay, I know how my man's is holding you down and you out here sharing that broke-ass box, okay, your little broke booty. Broke booty. You know, you into your booty this morning, you little broke booty. I'm telling on you, all right. By the way, guys, we got to start doing that, the women, man. Start calling women brokies, okay, all right?

When women is in the club and they're like, yo, I'm here with my girl and my other two girls we all want to drink, be like, damn, four brokies? Start shaming these women for not being broke. See, but that only work for certain women because you call certain, like my friends, you call them brokeies, they're probably going to order some bottles for you. Like, don't play with them. But that's good. They're not brokies.

We not. But I'm saying they might not be whores either. And you're calling them hores. No, no, no. Hors is just a figure of speech. Brokeys is literal. Brokeys is literal. Okay.

You broke. I know you broke. And it's fine. All right? Because she need a drink at the ball. I know. She wants, not needs. I want men to start doing to women what's been done to us for years.

You remember no scrubs? We do. Okay. All right. So let's start calling women Brokees. And let's start telling on these women that's out here cheating on their husband and their boyfriends. You want one today. Yeah. You heard you. I mean, your wife

is amazing. Why are you so upset? It has nothing to do with me and my wife. But where does this anger come from me? We are trying to clean the world. You are? You do it in the wall? From broke horse. Every brooky one at a point, everyone at a time. This is the breakfast club. You're checking out the breakfast club. Bel Air is back for a final season on Peacock. And in the end, it's all love. Will and Carlton start senior year and the rest of the fan face new chapters of their own.

Stream Bell air now only on Peacop Morning everybody is D.J.N.V. Just hilarious. Salameen de Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed.

We have Nicole Bell. Welcome. Good morning. How are you feeling this morning? I'm feeling great. Glad to be here. Absolutely. We got a new movie,

Aftershocked. Nicole P. Bell story. Would you be in theater is November 28th? When you decided to tell this story through film, what truth did you feel America still didn't understand about what happened to Sean. I think America doesn't understand

what the families really go through behind the scenes. For me, I was 22 years old. Sean was only 23 when he was killed. And we had two small daughters. My daughters at the time were baby girls. So going through

the years of fighting for justice, the levels of government, state trial, federal investigation, departmental hearings, civil, and then reforms, fighting for reforms, that takes a toll. And as a 22-year-old young woman, surrounded by the nation who supported us, my family, the community, it was, that's what really empowered

me to move forward. And what I think a lot of people need to understand is that many people want to tell their stories. People want their stories heard. And we don't really know how, what outlet, but I'm blessed to get a chance to meet people like many and give us the opportunity to put this real-life story now on screens for people to see and see what really happened behind the scenes. If you don't mind, I want to go back a little bit. Yeah. If you don't mind.

And the reason being is after watching a movie, I'm from Queens, so you lived it, but you just forget, right? With everything going on in the world, you forget the ends, the outs, and the details, and you just assume, right? Like, I'm not even going to lie. I forgot the cops got to quit it. Yeah.

You forget so many things. How long? It's been over 20 years now, right? So this year, this, tomorrow, makes 19 years. 19 years. So for people that don't know the Sean Bell story, just break it down a little bit. You guys were high school sweethearts. Yeah.

You're about to get married, and I'll let you go from there. So, yes. So Sean and I both went to John Adams High School in Ozone Park, Queens. We're from Queens, south side Jamaica, Queens. So we met there. Sean played baseball. We met, we dated, just like everyone else. After school, Sean went on to Nassau Community College.

He played baseball for a little there. When I graduated, we kind of went straight into building a family. I was a young mom. And after the birth of my second daughter, Sean had surprised me with a ring. And it was Christmas Day. All the family, we were all together sitting by the tree. tree. He had a, he had given me a shoebox, right? And I thought, oh, there's another pair of shoes

because he had bought me shoes before. I didn't really like the shoes that he bought me last time. But he bought me these shoes. And I was like, okay, we got another pair of shoes coming. I opened up the shoebox. Inside the shoebox was a watch box. I was like, oh, surprise, I got a watch. Open up the watch box. And the watchbox was a ring box. And that was the day that, you know, we decided to get married. So we hadn't made any plans, maybe about a year still had passed and then at that point our daughters were jada was three and a half almost four and jordan was just born so she was about five months old so sometime in november of oh six early november he had um sat me down he's like one day came home he's like

hey come let's sit down and talk um we were living in far rock away at the time and i was kind of nervous not sure what he wanted to talk about because he wasn't to come sit down and talk to me type of person. It was just like he would say what it is. But he had talked to his mom. He had talked to my mom. He had talked to the pastors. And he had planned the wedding.

My best friends knew. And I was just shocked that I didn't know. I hadn't found out. I was kind of feeling like, how could y'all keep this secret for me? That's one of the most stressful things ever to plan a wedding. What? And he had it.

He had the church. He had, the only thing he couldn't do was get my dress. And that's what my best friend told me. His mother told me, like, he was like, you cannot buy her dress for her. Y'all, you got to let her pick out a dress. So that time, that point in my life, it was really the happiest point of my life. And it was two weeks before the due date. So we had celebrated November 23rd as our anniversary.

And he was like, we're going to do it on the 25th. It was the weekend. The family's going to fly in. I mean, they had everything together. And I went, then so the Eva, the 24th I went for my bachelor's party my mom's house we did like a little small intimate bridal shower and then he went out with some of the guys from the neighborhood my brother-in-law was there and his father was there and some point during the night I got a call it was early morning

like 4 a.m. at this point on the wedding day um that something happened and we needed to get to the hospital now when that happened uh breakdown uh breakdown because the police tried to lie, right? It was so many different stories. And like I said, after watching the movie, you go down this rabbit hole of Google, right? And then you start remembering all the lies that they did and just trying to break his character and all that

without going too much. Because some of it's in the movie, some of it's not. Break down how the family took that. Because, hey, you got a young man that did everything right. He went to school. He got his degree. He was working. He had a couple of jobs.

But now you got the city or the police officers trying to break his spirit. so how did the family feel during that time it was devastating it was devastating for his parents it was devastating for me I had to kind of like isolate myself from like things like social media and I couldn't read the comments things like that it was just kind of getting out of hand but it was completely devastating because we were like just in shock you know in a lot of pain mentally and then there were stories coming out like the fourth man is a fourth man they came out right away with that one and then it disappeared right away it went

away. And it was just a whole smear campaign. And I had come to find out just by my attorneys and the leaders like Reverend Sharpton and people who were around me. Like, this is what happens when innocent people are killed by police officers every day. Which is crazy because you couldn't even grieve. I'm sitting there and you're trying to grieve. You have these young kids, but then you're trying to protect the name. And it's like, could you even grieved during that time? so I went straight into getting active and so the next day we went to a rally day after that you know we did um a march and then after the funeral it was just like now it's time to you know let people know shine a light on exactly what's happening so no grieving didn't happen right

away and I would go home and cry you know I come out and you know make it you know look as good as it needs to be but behind the scenes I was a mess you know I was a wreck and my family really formed like this barrier around me to protect me and help me with the girls they were so young and that was really that was the whole program from that point on everywhere I went I was kind of surrounded by somebody who was from the family or someone who was there to kind of you know act as like all right if I have to step in help you know we're going to do that but I tell people all the time You know, like, there's no specific order in which you grieve, you know, for me, going through this film and also working on a book, it brings back every thought, every memory. There's been times when even recently I've lost sleep and I had to get back into therapy, you know, and speak to a therapist.

But I'm so grieving, I mean, you've got to grieve and keep it moving. And that's really what that's what it was about back then. All right, we got more with Nicole Bell. When we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy.

Just hilarious. Sholomaine the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Nicole Bell. Nicole Bell, who is Sean Bell's wife, has a movie coming out this Friday called Aftershock. Now, Sean Bell was shot 50 times, shot at 50 times. He was killed by police officers as he was leaving his bachelor party.

He was supposed to get married the next day and he was killed. Charlemagne? How did your understanding of grief change over the years, like once the cameras disappeared and life just kept moving? Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, it's like we're living this. You know, once the cameras leave and the smoke clears, this is still my life. This is still my, and I still have to find a way to take care of my daughters. I still have to find a way to work. I still have to find a way to, you know, keep his memory alive and do all these things at the same time. So, I mean, my understanding of it was, you know, we, we just got to keep it moving. I have to keep going forward. Like, I don't know where this is going, but I know. know I'm going to keep pushing forward and I know eventually we'll get somewhere and that's all it was for me is just keep going like I can't think about what's going to happen next month but I'm going to take it one day at a time and that's really what it's about it's just pushing forward how what's something

people assume gets easier with time but actually becomes more difficult I think even this um you know this conversation yeah yeah I think people think you know that um hey you know maybe you're far removed from it by now but it's It's an ongoing thing. Like, just recently, I was on the phone with my therapist just bawling, you know, like, you know, we everyone, you know, thinks of this whole term, like, you know, being strong and, you know, but there's so many ways to look at, you know, how, what that means. And so we get blinded by it. Like, I have to be strong. I have to be strong.

But strong is like just one day, strong might be just getting out of bed. One day, the next day, strong might be sitting here on a radio station. it looks different. And to me, that's the way I identify what, like, moving forward is and how grief works. There's no specific order in which that happens and how it comes. So, I mean, and then my daughters, you know, I can't be far removed from it because my girls are every day, you know, a part of him. And my daughters, they deal with it in different ways, you know, from when they were younger. And, you know, until now. Now, how was that raising those young queens?

Because I remember when it happened, right? My dad, who was a retired police officer, did not want me out, right? He already didn't want me out. Yeah. You know, it was always like, you've got to come home. You got to drive. And the streets during that time was real dangerous. So I could imagine the anxiety of every day your daughter just wanting to leave to go anywhere.

So how was that? Absolutely. I mean, there were talks that, you know, if there's ever, you know, if you're ever approached, you know, by a police officer, like, remain calm just you know let me handle that you know you get as much information as you can and let me handle that but it was terrifying for one um but not just for them you know for for anyone i loved you know i was worried about my dad i was worried about you know my brother-in-laws um the men in my life you know just not sure about what's going to happen but it was bad back then and people who supported us were targeted you know after you know for supporting us i learned that from you know

elected officials i learned that from artists who support us and it was bad it was really bad and that was so important that's why it was so important for me to to show people the human side like this is who we are this is who he was and this is the family and and that's still what it is even till this day let's stay there for a second what parts of sean's life and character did you want this film to reclaim from like all the media matters um so i need people just to know that You know, Sean was just like, you know, you and you, DJ Envy. Like, he was a person who, like, loved his woman. He loved his family.

He loved his mom, his dad. He wasn't a person who had many close friends. He, the friends that he, he was very selective about who he considered his friends. And the ones who were, you know, his friends, he would take care of him. On his bachelor party night, he was driving his friends. Like, he was driving the guys from the neighborhood. in his in my car so this is who Sean was he wasn't you know a person that's like you know just not you know um or I guess what the narrative was being pushed out um at some points

if it wasn't for the family and if it wasn't for like the advocates and everyone who stood up like I don't know what the image would have been but for us it was important to just show people who he was like this is who he is He worked. He had jobs. You know, he loved to surprise me. Like, he had planned a surprise wedding all by himself and pulled in the family. This is who he was. This was the guy he was.

And it was just made into this big, you know, thing because there were 50 shots fired by the police officers. That's really at the bottom line, that's what it was. It was the 50 shots that were fired by the police officers on our wedding day. And that was how big it was. That was what made it, like, sensationalized. but Sean was just like you and me he was just like any other person there was nothing any different

and he was human like he was a human he wasn't just a hashtag he wasn't just a name you know that's you know it's not just a headline it's a family behind us and is a family who's grieving what made you come up with the title after shock that's production

I don't think I didn't really come up with that but yeah I just found an interesting like you know why I wanted to know why was it important for you to tell that story like the years long impact of the trauma because i think that's something that people don't think about yeah well that that itself absolutely that is a thing and that was part of the reason why i wanted to push forward with the project is because um i think the the movie shows a time frame of like oh oh six to 2021 and that's a huge part of my life

you know and it's like it's almost two decades that we're talking about of trying to keep his memory alive um but these are what families are going through every day like there's so many families like mine and i know them and i just hope that this project will like encourage other families to tell your stories there's there's other ways that we can get the word out there's other ways that we can show people like we didn't receive the justice that we were looking for and really accountability would have been that in this case i mean justice would have been him still being here but accountability is what we were looking for so this is a us holding them accountable.

I wanted to know, like, when they were acquitted, did any of those officers apologize? There was a public statement that was issued. It wasn't really directed towards me. During the courtroom, it was very, like, blatant that, you know, they weren't willing to apologize. After they were acquitted, there was, like, a public statement at their press conference, but that was it. It was nothing personal.

Do we know what happened to those officers? Did they lose their job? Do we know that they get shipped to another precinct? Do we know at all or no? So the officer who fired the initial shots, he was terminated. The rest of them, I believe they were allowed to retire with benefits. Wow. Yeah.

So I don't know where their life is at this point. And, you know, really I just hope that they understand like the weight of what they left behind and what their actions did that night and how generationally how that affects not just me, not just Mr. and Mrs. Bell, but we're now, you know, raising my kids in that. And I'm just, my goal was to make them strong, make them normal, normal girls, you know, who can blend in. And I'm blessed to be able to say that's the case today, you know, my oldest daughter, she's, like, doing her thing, working and has her own apartment. Jordans at Howard University. And they're just independent young women.

And I'm so proud they're like my best friends. They keep me strong when I feel weak and vice versa. All right. We got more with Nicole Bell. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy. Jess Hilarious. Salomey and the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking in with Nicole Bell. Nicole Bell, who is Sean Bell's wife, has a movie coming out this Friday called Aftershock. Now, Sean Bell was shot 50 times, shot at 50 times.

He was killed by police officers as he was leaving his bachelor party. He was supposed to get married the next day and he was killed. One thing that bothered, especially the community in Queens, was that when it first happened, people automatically thought there was going to be a bunch of white cops and it was racist, right? Right, right. There was a bunch of, it was, I think, one white cop and it was minorities.

Yeah. How did that feel? Because, you know, you really want to feel like at least somebody that looks like me understands, right? How did that feel during that time? And was that a thing back then? Yeah, that was insane. And I think I even heard that. You know, people were like, well, how didn't he know it was cops?

They were, you know, they were white. Like, okay, guys, y'all got to pay attention. read the story this is not that's not what happened um because growing up in south jamaica queens like you know about stopping first you see that you see detectives jumping out on people you see you know the marked cars you know what the culture was back then um so we're all aware of it we're hyper like when he arrived at the bachelor party he was pulled over by a blue and white a marked car he wasn't even given a ticket i found out this information during a trial i didn't even know that So when he was parking to get to the bachelor party, he was pulled over.

They didn't even give him a ticket. They just said, I'd have a good day. Why did you stop him? When he was leaving, he was encountered by the cop who was at the club, investigating the club. So it was just the community in itself was policed in a way that just wasn't there to protect the people who are from the neighborhood, the people who live here. Like, we go to school here.

We work our jobs here. and the neighborhood was shot up. There were homes that were shot. You know, 50 shots. One went into the air train above at Jamaica Station. And nobody was held accountable for that. And that's really part of the reason that fuels me because with all of that devastation,

what was the outcome? And, you know, and I don't know what's going to come next, but all I know is, you know, just this is the same message. We're going to keep pushing forward. There are so many victims who need to be encouraged to tell their stories. And they want to be encouraged to tell their stories. They're not sure how. And I just hope that, you know, this project makes everybody proud.

And I want to go back to your daughters. Like, how did you protect your daughter's emotional world while the country was just discussing your family as just a political kid? Yeah. Because they were watching Disney and Nickelodeon. Were? They were doing what kids do. Okay. They were going to dance school.

They were, you know, playing sports. They were not involved in that. And when they were small, I would take them to the rallies and stuff. But once they were old enough to kind of articulate what's going on, I wouldn't make sure they were either with grandma or they were busy doing something else and just kept them focused on what do you want to do? Like, what do you want to become? We're going to make you the best, you know, whatever it is.

You want to do hair, you want to do makeup, whatever it is. You want to become a lawyer. You're going to be the best at it. And I think that's where my, with my girls, it was just important that I keep them normal. I don't, like, you know, don't, we're, I don't read the comment, so I'm not going to introduce them, you know. Well, what about now? Because when the movie comes out, yeah, it's going to, you know, start that whole conversation all over. So we've, we, we do a lot in private, you know, we, we are very tight, we are very close.

My girls are very close to his parents. We, we keep it, you know, really tight. So we've watched it together in private. And my girls had a lot of questions. and there were things that they didn't even know that after watching it I'll get calls like hey mom what did this mean you know what was that about

and I can you know just remember being 22 and losing him and thinking like oh my God how am I going to explain this to them one day and the one day is here and now I'm here and we're having these deep conversations but now I'm ready to have the conversations because if I had tried to do this

19 years ago, I don't think I would have made it. You didn't even have an understanding of it. Absolutely. I did not have an understanding of it. Now, even though the grief is still there and I'm working with a therapist and we're dealing with the reality of it, it is, it's just a matter of it being like a story that is important to our culture, it's important to our history. And long after I'm gone, Aftershock is going to be here.

And that's what my goal is, just to create something that will last. And, you know, we can, you know, we can hope that, you know, this will make history. Who stood up for you back then? You know, we've seen Reverend Now and we heard about Jay-Z. Who stood up for the community back then when you needed it the most, right? You support people. You support local people. Who stood up for you during that time?

If anybody. I mean, during that time, there was, like you said, Reverendow, there was a lot of people at NAN National Action Network was a big deal. Everyone, you know, in my community, there were a lot of elect, every elected official you could think of. Like some of my friends now who are now in politics, like the Queensboro president, Donovan Richards, and people like Temeca Mallory from NAN. Louis-Turika. Yeah. And these are the people now, right, who are, who've come from that, Sean Bell era and who marched like under Reverend now.

Sharpton and now they're the leaders of the time and saying, hey, this is what we need to do because this is what happened in the past. So those are some of the people. I mean, even right now, like Angela, that's my girl. I could text Angela right now and she'll give me some, you know, great advice or like, hey, Nicole, you need to check this. Um, you know, my attorney, you know, like female, black female attorneys. I'm surrounded by wonderful people that I can call when I'm in need. And I think back then, it was the same. You know, there wasn't much of the female presence.

It was more of like the politicians. It was like Reverend Al Sharpton. But I think everyone recognized that. That's why you've had like the mother's movement who came out. Everyone recognized that, right? Sabrina Fulton and Gwen Carr, Eric Gardner's mother, like the movements that came from it because it was more of like, This is a political thing.

And it's like, oh, how's it political? You know, we're not politicians. But, you know, because of the, you know, the police officers, they deemed it as political. But I think the most magnificent thing of that is that all of the lives that were affected back then and all the greatness that came from it. All of everyone whose lives were affected said, hey, you know, because of what happened to Sean, that's the reason why I became this. And that means a lot to me. That means a lot. J.D. did start a trust fund, right?

he did yes he did yeah yeah college fund for for my girls yeah yeah that was a lot that was back in 08 yeah yeah dope is there a moment public or private that best represents the emotional after shock of losing Sean public or private um I think the that first ever march that happened um in six down Fifth Avenue it was massive right I didn't even know um the gravity of how many people were affected by it I thought it was just us and then um that first ever march that I attended down fifth avenue it was crazy I mean we were ending the march miles down and we could see all the way back the streets were filled with people people were outraged. They were outraged like it was their family member. And I think that's what moved me

to say, oh, wow, I'm not alone here. I felt like I was on the island. Like there was no one who could ever relate to what I had gone through losing him on my wedding day in that way. But even though you know, these people didn't lose him that way, everyone was affected. Everyone was outraged. And then still there was no justice. And I think that's also a part that defines you know what we're dealing with here is that no matter how the amount of people the amount of outrage the the amount of shots

there was still no conviction there and you know what are we going to do with that all right we have more with Nicole Bell Sean Bell's wife when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody is the J.NV Jess Hilaris Sholomane the Guy we are the Breakfast Club

we're still kicking it with Nicole Nicole Bell, who is Sean Bell's wife, has a movie coming out this Friday called Aftershock. Now, Sean Bell was shot 50 times, shot at 50 times. He was killed by police officers as he was leaving his bachelor party. He was supposed to get married the next day, and he was

killed. I want to ask one more about the cops. Yeah. I remember, do you believe in the system after that? I lost my faith in a system after. I'm going to be honest with you. I really did. And now you see families since then who've gone through

similar things and it's the steps that we have to take as family members and you got to go through these measures just to get somewhere and it's just like we're walking down the same line everyone's walking down the same line looking for a different outcome and listen you know I sat back and kind of watched you know families go through this is painful for everyone to think you know okay this is it this is the time and then it's the same outcome we're just watching this whole thing just over and over just like a vicious cycle and for me

I mean Zora Neil Hurston said if you don't talk about your pain they'll kill you and say you enjoyed it and that's what Aftershock is about we're talking about our pain here and there's so many people who are in pain and people who

down the line in future might be in pain but this is a story for all of us how did advocating for just just reshape your identity as a woman, a mother, and a leader? How did it advocate for justice? So I feel that it empowered me. It defined, you know, who I am. It really helps kind of give me that strength to push me forward.

I learned a lot about myself. I learned a lot about our community. But advocacy, it's just a never-ending thing. It's not something that you can do and turn it off. you know it's there's always something to advocate for it is always something that needs change so I feel that just the advocacy in itself it kind of defined me as a woman and it made me feel really like badass really yeah what I was going to say what what message did you want to send to the world by forgiving the police officers that shot or did you even forgive me

I was going to ask you where did you read that I was sorry I never heard of I did you I'm sorry, I'm sorry, did you? I was going to ask you, where did you see that? So, I don't think I've reached that place because I was there and I've witnessed and then in real time how they felt. And like during the trial, how they would pass notes and make jokes. This was like almost like a board game, you know, and we were devastated, you know. And it takes a lot to say I'm forgiven. I have to keep it real with y'all.

And I have to always keep it real. I haven't forgave. I can say I'm at peace. But no, I haven't forgiven. I'm not a forgiven person either. Certain things I just don't understand and he tries to talk me into it. But it's just certain things I just can't forgive. And it is what it is.

If I had maybe. I'll get to that point one day in life. If I had maybe picked up a hint of remorse somewhere, maybe. But I didn't. So I can't put that on them If that's not how they feel And that's okay Because I'll find my way

And my girls will be We're gonna make it We're gonna be strong We're gonna support his mom We're gonna support his dad Like where we're gonna be You know We're gonna be okay

But as far as forgiveness, no My therapist told me last week You know If somebody has done you wrong And you feel like they've harmed you It is perfectly healthy to say I'm straight up And that's it

I love that therapist Straight up No, that's how I feel That's it That's an emotion That's your feeling Yeah Who is a

Who are you now Compared to who you were Before November 25th 2000 Oh man Who am I now Compared to I mean

Right now It's Wow I mean I don't know If I could find The words for it But I think

There's really I feel Unstoppable I'm going to be honest with you I feel like This is something that has prepared me for a life I never had planned. I was just looking forward to getting married to Sean and, you know, the love that we have

for each other, the love he had for our girls, that's really what fueled me. And when they took that from me, it was extremely personal, you know, that they did this. And it kind of made me look at, you know, life differently, absolutely. look at life differently, cherishing, you know, our loved ones, loving on everybody around you, appreciating life. Like, I'm not a person who complains a lot.

I'm not a person who takes things for granted. I find the greatness in everything. And losing Sean, the struggle that we had, all of that has made me this person now. Why and when did you decide to do this movie? Like, what was the thing that was like, it's time now?

So, I met Manny Hallie back, in 2017 and I had a conversation with him that he had my mom was with me let me rewind a little bit so my mom was with me my mom is like you know she's my biggest champion so she's like okay

is this the director oh hey you ever thought about doing a movie about Nicole a movie about Sean my mom was in the airport or we went to a premiere one of his premier sorry I forgot to leave that got to say that um so we met manny my mom was like you know on him like hey you know you ever thought about doing this And it was like, you know, maybe, you know, I don't think he really knew who we were or whatever.

But down the line, we had more conversations. We talked a little bit more. And then production kind of came up with an idea of like, okay, how can we do this? Let's figure out how to the best way to make this happen. For me, it was always about telling the story. You know, I don't know about the creativity side of it. That's not, I'm not in entertainment. That's not my field.

But I have a story. And it's a story that affected a lot of people. and it's a story that's going to change lives. And if there's a way that we can get this out there, let's do it. So as far as the time frame, I feel like the best time is now. Not only because of what we're going through in the community, but just because me personally, mentally, I wasn't in a space to be able to make a movie years ago.

I was raising two little girls. I was mourning, going through depression, PTSD. I couldn't do a movie. How could I find the time? so now it's been almost 20 years I'm able to talk about this without the tears I'm able to find the therapy I'm able to talk to my girls and mentor them and their independent women

exactly you know what I pray for now's the time there's no better time than do it right now how can people honor Sean's story in a way that leads to action not just simply so in a way that leads to action And so we need everyone to, for one, go out and vote for your local elections and your local elections. Like, do what you can, do your part. You know, personally, this is, you know, something that we all have to continue to shine a light on. You know, whether it's his story or it's, you know, an injustice that you know of in your area.

Like, let's support each other, join an organization. If you don't see an organization that resonates with you, start an organization. There are many things that you can do to advocate. and it doesn't always have to be just in Sean's name, but get, be a part of some kind of movement. Get out there. Be a part of a movement. And, you know, for us, there, there aren't any more legal, you know, measures that I can take. I've exhausted those. So this is the next step for me. And I want everybody to get out there and go see it, you know, and tell the story, pass the story along. And we're going to be at colleges, you know, we're going to, we're going to

share the story with the next generation who doesn't know Sean. hasn't heard about this story um and that's really it and the viewers walk away with just one lesson from after shock what do you hope it is one lesson for after shock is that um you cannot let life like take you out there are things that's going to happen and you have to find your way find your way to make it through um endurance resilience is life like we're all going to get knocked down at some right and it may not be to this magnitude and I pray it's not to this magnitude but life is going to come at you and you have to find your way whatever your way is to get over it and to when I say get over it I mean to get over the hump not to get you know not to move out of the

way but to get over that hump and push through and and support your people like you know this is we need that support um I'm I'm I'm I'm thankful for people like many, you know, and his team who are not, you know, affiliated with any type of justice, you know, organizations or anything. But he said, hey, this is something that's important and we want to get behind you on this. And I'm just really thankful for that. And I think everyone needs to find, you know, whatever your source is. What is your source?

And just feed that and keep going and don't give up. Absolutely. Well, definitely check it out this Friday. Aftershock, the Nicole P. Bell story. And thank you for sharing your story. Thank you. You all are great. I know it's tough, too.

I never heard a little donkey other day. What is it? I'm a donkey. Say it again, Charleney. I'm a donkey. Yes. You are a donkey. I'll show you how to act a donkey.

Everything that Charlotte Lane is true. You know, donkey today goes to a woman from Minnesota named Veronica Gas. Now, if you know anything about your uncle Charlotte and you know I got a few screws loose, you also know that I'm a big proponent of doing everything I have to do in order to get those screws tightened. Okay, I am a huge mental health advocate. Yes, I encourage people, especially black men, to go to therapy, are just to get on some type of healing journey, okay? One form of therapy that is great for those of us in relationships is couples therapy. Drop on the clues bombs for couples therapy.

Okay? What is couples therapy exactly? It's simple. Couples therapy is a form of psychotherapy that can help you and your partner improve your relationship. All right? If you are having relationship difficulties, you can seek couples therapy to help rebuild your relationship. Psychologists say couples therapy can address a wide range of relationships. Relationship issues, including recurring conflicts, feelings of disconnection, and affair, issues related to sex are just difficulties due to stress.

Okay, if you and your partner are going through a rough patch, couples therapy, can help you work on your relationship. Your therapist can help you express your feelings, discuss issues with your partner, and resolve conflicts. All right? A couple's therapy, it's good, right? It can help increase understanding, respect, affection, and intimacy between you and your partner, which can help you be happier together. I'm just saying this for those who don't know because a lot of times we hear the phrase couples therapy but don't know what it is.

Okay, it's more than just you and your significant other getting up and going to see the lady. Okay, they also got the same types of couples therapy that you can get in one-on-one sessions like CBT, right? Cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally focused therapy. So I'm all for it, okay? I believe that it can be a major key to a healthy relationship.

Hell, as I talk, I'm like, shoot, why not go do a couple sessions with the wife, my damn self? Not because anything is wrong, but because we want to everything to keep going. going right. Okay, it's like, don't wait until the doctor tells you that you're sick to change your diet. Don't wait until you look down and can no longer see your penis to start working out. Let's do preventive maintenance now, okay? You know, because, you know, you might get to a point where it's a little too late. This happens in real life. You stop drinking when your liver is

already done. Some people are obese and, you know, they have the massive heart attack and die too late to start eating, eating right and exercise and then. And that's what I feel happened in the case of Veronica gas. Okay, see, Veronica and our boyfriend, they were off to see the wizard. By wizard, I mean therapists. Okay, they were on the way to couples therapy and they had an argument that morning.

And I'm going to tell you right now, I'm about to gas light you. This is another example of why women are the problems. See, this man wanted to go see the lady with his woman, Veronica. He was trying to make it work. She's arguing with him in the morning. They are on the way to go see the wizard.

They are on the way to couple. I'm not making this up. They're on the way to see the wizard. Veronica stops in the middle of the lane and forced her boyfriend to exit the car because she decided right there and there. She didn't even want to go see the lady. She just wanted to break up with him. So he did as asked, he got out the car.

And when he got out the car and passed the front of the car to walk to the sidewalk, the pan made eye contact. So guess what she decided to do? Hit him. Hit the damn gas. Hit the gas and then hit him. and then hit him. We do.

They was just the argument. And she decided she wanted to break up, so she asked him to get out the car, so he got out the car. The argument stand from somewhere, though. See, victim blaming. You see what I'm saying? Toxic, toxic, toxic.

I'm an investigative journalist trying to get to the bottom of it. All I hear is victim blaming, okay? The man rolled over the hood of the car and shattered the window. And then hold on, it gets worse. He better pay for it. Veronica lies to police

and tells police she didn't see her, boyfriend, but then eventually admitted to police that she hit him on purpose. Damn. Mind you, they only been together for a year. They were shacking up. That's right. Now you got your mouth open. Now you're on the man.

I can't believe that you said only a year. That's 12 months of her life. How old is she? 30. He tried to take the best years of her 30s. They were shacking up, living together for a year, and they already in therapy. And she already tried to kill him. Now she's facing second degree assault, criminal vehicular operation, bodily harm, gross

negligence and domestic assault all that for a year relationship i mean damn is that even enough time to really ruin a woman's pH balance now i'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary but i've been around long enough to know that a yonla couldn't fix this life okay this man was in a relationship with a toxic crusader okay if y'all in therapy she tried to kill you already and it's only been a year then you shouldn't be going to therapy you should be packing your stuff up and going home or if she's living with you send her home either way y'all shouldn't be living with each other because if you're in a relationship and all you do is cry you need to stop and ask yourself are you dating a human or an onion okay now I'm going to close with this

couples therapy won't work if you haven't addressed your individual issues sometimes individual issues can overshadow relationship problems okay unresolved trauma personal mental health issues addiction you know daddy issues mommy issues they can and will have a huge impact on a partner and couples therapy will be less effective if these underlying issues are not addressed. The reason couples therapy wouldn't have worked for Veronica and her man is simple. It's because Veronica actually needed an exorcism. Please give Veronica gas, the sweet sounds of the hamletones. Oh, no.

You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey. of the day Yee Oh, brother Poor, poor, poor man I feel bad for him Oh, now you feel bad for him

After you just said What did he do after he got hit by a car? I was waiting for you to Kate No, I feel bad for him Because he got paid for that windshield Wow See? Because why are they arguing

See? What was arguing about? Does it matter? She ran him over with a car Clearly something she did How do you know that though? How can you just imply that? You want to play a game?

Yes. Let's play a game of Guess what races! Let's go. All right, a woman from Minnesota from a town called Otter Tail. Ottertail. Okay. She was arrested after she struck her boyfriend with her car.

A while a pair was on their way to couples therapy. DJ Envy, guess what race is? It's a tough one. The reason I'm thinking is tough because Lauren said this is what she would do. I didn't say this is what she would do. that, I just feel for my sister. But she's from Delaware. She's from Delaware. Always keep that in mind when

Delaware address. I'll go white. Whoa. White, white, white, white, white. Okay. Lauren Lerosa, a woman was arrested, Veronica, after she struck her boyfriend with her car, what a pair was on their way to couple's therapy. Lauren Lorosa, guess what race she is?

The Breakfast Club Morning everybody It's DJ NV Just hilarious Salomey Nagar We are the Breakfast Club Thanksgiving is tomorrow And we had a conversation about,

are we setting up for Christmas too damn early? Like, are we starting Christmas too early before we even get to Thanksgiving? Let's discuss. Morning, everybody, it's D.J.N.V. Jess hilarious. Shalameen, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Now, if you're just joining us, we're opening up the phone lines 800-585-105-1. Now, it seems like the holiday season, Christmas is here. Like, lights, Christmas trees, decorations. It seems like we just forgot about Thanksgiving. Is it too soon is the question? But what?

are the decorations for Thanksgiving. Exactly. Turkeys. Man, shut up. Like, you're just going to have a bunch of turkeys around your house? I got turkey decorations, and I guess they got pumpkins and mums and stuff like that. But you don't need that for 25 days, okay? Like, Christmas is the season.

You know, don't nothing look better than Christmas lights and the Christmas trees. Thanksgiving is really just a speed bump at this point. Like, there's really nothing to do in November, to be honest with you. Speed up is crazy. Like, when you think about November, there's really nothing to do. Thanksgiving is one. One day. Just like Halloween is one day.

So the same way they got all of these, you know, decorations leading up to Halloween, might as well have those for Christmas now. I got my lights on the house, right? And it make me happy. That's what I'm going to say. It just makes me happy. When I come home and the lights is lit,

I just get happy. I ain't going on front. I stand outside and look at them. The kids love them. It just makes me happy. That holiday chair just takes any stress, any excited way. I just get happy.

Listen, I'll leave my Christmas tree up all year round. All right. That's a little too far. That's a little too much I usually put four of them up But I took three of them down And just left one up So that's one less one I gotta put up

But yo like I think The day after Halloween Literally midnight November 1st Put that ass up Wait a minute So 4th of July Everybody's coming and it's hot

And they come into your pool pool You still got your Christmas tree up I do That's why they need to stay out of my house The pool party is outside Damn Because your black family You always want to judge you

For stuff like that Your Christmas tree still up Yeah yeah And you still broke You know, I'm just just little things that go back and forth with. But, yeah, people always joke about that. But that's a lot of work, putting up a lot of Thanksgiving. I mean, putting up a lot of Christmas decorations.

And when I'm moving to this big-ass house, I didn't really realize, like, how hard forage trees would be putting up. But it looks so good when everything is done. And that's the crazy part, too. You put up all of these Christmas decorations only for a couple of weeks. No, let's ride it out for 60 days. Start in November. Right after Halloween, let's get right into the Christmas season.

But you ain't going to have it up 4th of July. No. But I'm going to be honest with you. We can kind of get rid of Thanksgiving, bro. But we don't need it. What? We don't really need Thanksgiving. The food don't really.

The food ain't really what's up. A lot of us, you know, as we've got known that we don't even like Thanksgiving food. I don't like Thanksgiving food like that. I don't like Thanksgiving food. Do you? I don't eat the turkey and all that stuff. That's my point. You didn't give it all up.

Yeah, yeah. Now, I ain't going to hold you. I do like the dog meat of the turkey. But really for real, yeah. Now that you're saying it's like, all right, cool. because I don't like stuff and I don't like the cranberry with the turkey.

That's white people's stuff. I don't really like that. I don't like pumpkin pie. I love, only thing I love is mash, I mean, not the mashed potatoes. Mac and cheese, yams, fried chicken. Yeah. And the sweet potato pie, yeah.

So we only get the food that we like. So we don't do all the turkey stuff. So we'll do the mac cheese. We'll do the fried chicken. But then we'll do ox tail. We do jerk chicken. We'll do stuff like that too. Yeah, that sounds good.

Yeah, I don't know. Then my mother does a seafood Christmas. She do the crabs and the scallums. And she's very big on seafood. So she does that. I don't know. We don't need to give it. We don't need Thanksgiving, bro.

We need time off, though. Yeah, but we don't need, we don't need Thanksgiving. It can be a day of gratitude, but we don't need Thanksgiving. Yeah. Let's go to the phone lines. We got Leon on the phone. Leon, what's up, bro? Trying to get rid of Thanksgiving.

I just feel like we just need that causes spirit for Christmas, you know, the joy of spirit, you know, Christmas and stuff. That's right. And the other reason that is okay to put your Christmas stuff up right after Halloween is for the simple fact there really is no Thanksgiving decoration. So Halloween everybody goes all out for Halloween. You see the houses decked out for Halloween. Thanksgiving is no Thanksgiving decorations. So might as well put the Christmas up. Well, Thanksgiving is pumpkins. They do the moms. They do the moms. They do.

I'm a Halloween girlie. So I was already upset. They had all the Christmas stuff out. It were our shines before we could even have Michael Mises and then pop out. Damn. Yeah, you can't do it before Halloween. I mean, is that the reason you can. Yeah, Halloween got his own decorations.

It got his own energy. People like decorating their houses for Halloween. You can't do that. But Thanksgiving, we can skip right over that because there ain't no turkey decorations. I mean, it ain't, but I'd like to cut the turkey fights before we start, you know, shove a Mariah, Carrie, and everybody else down our throat, too. Mind you all of Mariah.

But, man, I can only deal with her for a whole month, not three. I agree with that. I think that November should be like a pre-Christmas thing. Like, we shouldn't go all in yet, but it should be a lot of signs. Yeah, thanksgiving should be the appetizer, and Christmas is the main course. Thank you, Shayla.

A pre-Christmas, if you will. Thank you, bye. It should be a pre-Christmas. And then right after Thanksgiving, that's when everybody goes full steam ahead with Christmas. But before that, it's pre-Christmas. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm not really care about Thanksgiving. I try to tell you.

I don't agree with getting rid of it. But, yeah, we could definitely change it from Thanksgiving to pre-Christmas. I like that. What about down south? Like, what about Southamuck's corner, South Carolina? Don't, your family, like your mom and your dad, like, they don't. No, my mom is your whole witness. You don't give a damn about no Thanksgiving.

Oh, my God. They still Joe's my house. Yes. Thanksgiving is just, it's just, it's just, it's just. cool it's the day of family it's a day you know getting with your people's and kicking it but nah you don't know anything yeah i actually look forward to the day after day's giving because my aunt cooks crazy the day after day's giving because she's a jehovah witness as well but she does what your mom does the seafood the fried fish and fried shrimp and you know scallops

and all yes that's what i like how you don't get your mom no christmas gifts nothing for christmas she's a jehovah witness respect her religion yeah they don't accept them that's crazy they don't accept and you probably only celebrated now because you have children yep and my wife It's not a jehovah witness. They don't get your family, no gifts. What family? On your side. Are they all your witness?

Yeah. Yo, that's crazy. All of them, they don't get him, not neither. Nope. Not at all. Damn. I don't even care. All right.

Well, what's the moral of the story? F, thank you, yeah. Do what you want. If you want to put up your decorations the day after Halloween, the day before, whatever. If you want to put it up on Christmas Eve, do it. Whatever works for you. I leave my tree up. all year round at least one of them

and don't say nothing about it because yeah lazy ass, all right the breakfast club, good morning Tell us, baby Are you getting to the yams since Thanksgiving? Sweet, yeah

We got more coming up with the best of the breakfast club The breakfast club Morning everybody It's DJ NV, Jess O'Larry Sholomey and the guy We are the breakfast club Longa Roses here as well

You know what time it is It's time to put the car up in storage. What does that mean? Who stores their cars? Well, when you have these older cars, you don't drive them all year. They're more like summer cars. So, to keep your ride in good condition, you need to pick up items like

battery tenders and, of course, a car cover. Now, I found some dope ones on eBay that work pretty damn good. So next summer, when I pull the cars out, my cars will be charged, and I don't have to worry about cleaning them because the cover I got from eBay and the battery tenders will definitely work. And since my dad

likes to drive my cars in the winter, he'll be super duper excited because the covers have pictures of motown classics on them i got one cover with smoky robinson i got another cover cover with uh jimmy hendricks so he'll be super duper excited about it no sexy red covers uh my dad probably does not know who sexy red is i don't think he does well make sure you shop ebay for millions of fines each with a story ebay things people love Shut this man You know what I'm Morning everybody

South Carolina. Cardiare Brown will be there. My good sis, AJ from the We Talk Back podcast will be there, and I will be there as well. So I'll see y'all this Friday. 720 Magnolia Road, Charleston, South Carolina, Chris Kowland's second live podcast

Now you got time for a positive note, man. Listen, man, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I know y'all going to be eating a lot of things, but I want to tell y'all something from Mr. Don Miguel Ruiz. You know, I love the Four Agreements. I think it's a book that everybody should read. But in the Four Agreements, Don't take anything personally.

Refuse to eat emotional poison. Tomorrow, you're going to be. be around that dinner table at Thanksgiving, eating a lot of things, and there might even be people at the dinner table that you don't want to be around, and they're going to be trying to feed you things that you don't want to digest. Okay? Don't take those things personally. Okay?

Taking things personally makes you pray for predators. They can hook your attention with one little opinion. Don't fall for it. And once they hook your attention with that one little opinion, they can feed you whatever poison they want. Refuse to eat the poison tomorrow. All right? literally and figuratively. Have a great day.

Breakfast club, bitches! You don't finish or y'all done? On this week's episode of next chapter, I, T.D. Jake, sit down with Denzel Washington, a two-time Academy Award-winning actor and cultural icon for a conversation about change, identity, and the moment everything shifted.

I mean, I don't take any credit for it. It's nothing I did as special, you know, then knocked down a few pegs and recognized it, but I just didn't put me first. I just put God first, and he's carried me. Whether you're rebuilding, reimagining, or just trying to hold it together, this one will speak to you.
