Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.

power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.

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 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,

Sleep tight, if you can.
Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, y'all. Niminy 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,
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.
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. We'll see you next time. I'm a lovable ass. Or you're a clown. Yo, I'm loving that energy up there right now.
Sometimes you gotta pop out from the show today.
Now let's begin.
Wake up, wake up.
With your ass.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
J-O, J-O, J-O.
Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Jason from Canada.
Oh, Jason. I listen to you Jason from Canada. Oh, Jason.
I listen to you guys every morning.
Oh, boy.
Do you have an owl tattoo on you anywhere?
He definitely does.
No.
No, I don't.
Okay.
I just wanted to call and say, yeah, we listen to you guys in Canada also.
We were on in Toronto for a little while, but Drake got us taken off.
That's not true.
No way.
I don't know if that's true, but if that's not a story, then they just took us off.
Yeah.
Well, discuss that some other time. Hello, who's this?. No way. I don't know if that's true, but if it's not a story, then they just took us off. Yeah. Well, discuss that some other time.
Hello, who's this?
This is Derek.
What up, though?
Derek, what up, though?
Detroit, get it off your chest.
I want to get a couple things off my chest, but I want to be brief with you.
One, why is it the conversations we have nowadays have to have the pause and different stuff
to indicate you're not saying something? To me I think that's quite ridiculous
Like are we that sensitive to where you can't say something without having to say the ridiculous pause, no cap and all that?
Like baby, we do it too much in the world.
Yeah, sometimes it is very much annoying.
But you grow, you can do what you want to do. You know what I mean?
You ain't got to follow the trends. Absolutely.
Without a doubt. And I'm always
doing it, but at the same time, it's just annoying
to hear. Even when y'all say
certain things or people, y'all guests
or
invites say certain things
and just pause. Like, come on, man.
You make the conversation more
unrelatable when you pause. I'm like, what did he...
What just happened?
Don't we pause the phone?
That's why I think you should just say that was gay.
Instead of saying pause, you should say that was gay.
Yeah, or
anything, you know, just be relatable, man.
You know, girls keep on following
these young people. Trades need to stop.
No, no, no. How old are you?
I'm 42. Okay, I was born in 1978. I'm no, no. You know, we need to do this. No, no, no. How old are you? I'm 42.
Okay.
I was born in 1978.
I'm 45.
Pause is our era, sir.
Yes, it is.
We started that pause.
Pause, pause.
That was Cameron and them back in the day, day, day, day.
Long time ago.
Absolutely.
Long, long time ago.
You know that.
But, sir, I understand.
Well, not just that.
When I say follow a young people, yeah, I thank you.
I appreciate you.
But not just that, but also with the fact Of some of the other stuff we do in Craig
That's just one thing
Okay, that may be our era
But it's a lot of stuff we do
You know, the crazy, dragging it out
That sounds crazy
You know what I'm saying?
When people say it's crazy and they drag it out
That's crazy
That's not our era though
That was our era too, bro.
He just made it.
That wasn't our era, man.
You ain't never heard people dragging the words crazy out like that.
It's crazy.
What are you talking about?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Maybe you're right on that one.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning, guys. This is Brian, man. Peace and blessings, man. Peace. Yeah, who's this? Yo, good morning, guys.
I'm Brian, man.
Peace and blessings, man.
Peace.
Yeah, I mean it, man.
Get it off your chest.
Yo, man.
Listen, man.
I was stuck in the elevator for a whole hour, man.
And the main thing to me, man, is to really wake up earlier, man, because I felt like
my life was over, man.
I made so much promises to God in this elevator, man.
Yo, I went to my mother, man. I was like, I want to wish this on my was over, man. I made so much promises to God in this elevator, man. Yo, look at my mother, man.
I want to wish her some of my worst enemies, man.
No windows, no escape.
I'm thinking about Bruce Willis.
And Die Hard.
I'm thinking, I'm pressing the buttons.
I'm kicking, I'm trying to punch codes.
I'm doing everything.
I'm like, you know what, let me pick.
Yo, I ain't gonna lie.
I had a little reception, but not too much.
I was playing Marvin Sapp. what? Let me pick. Yo, I ain't going to lie. I had a little reception, but not too much. I was playing Marvin Sapp.
Never would have made it.
Dang.
Oh, my God.
Where were you?
The only reason why I got out, the only reason why I got out,
because the Spams dude, he kept pressing the button downstairs,
and he kept kicking the door, and then all of a sudden it opened,
but it was a half of the floor, and then it popped up,
and then I got out.
But I'm just telling everybody right now, man,
I don't know if I think I'm going to get elevated in the'm just telling everybody right now, man, I don't know if I think
I'm going to get
elevated again.
You think it's a lawsuit?
I don't know if it's a lawsuit,
but I wouldn't wish that
on my worst enemy
because I got a daughter
who has a very unhealthy
fear of elevators.
Oh, it's like the walls
are closing in.
Like, you just feel like
everything...
I feel like I was in
one of those
Titanic submarines, man.

of the story.

I'm glad that you got out of that situation.
Absolutely.
I'm telling you, my eight-year-old is definitely afraid of elevators.
I don't know what she watched that she saw somebody get stuck on an elevator, but Lord
have mercy.
She don't mess with them elevators.
She do not like elevators at
all in no way, shape, or form.

I'm right here, brother. What's happening?
Hey, bro, you always say that Donald Trump is the biggest threat to our democracy, right?
Uh-huh.
And I kind of feel like our democracy is already gone, bro.
Like, I don't think America has a democracy when you sit and think about it, man.
They created all these laws to limit us on things we can say, things we can do. Like, we no longer in a, like a, whatever that word is,
kind of country, bro.
This ain't a democracy country no more, bro.
Well, I know, I can understand why you feel like that
as a black man in America.
I can understand why any minority feels like that.
But I tell you what, whatever democracy we had,
you let him get in office, even that's going to be gone.
I'm not the biggest Donald Trump fan.
I definitely ain't no Biden fan.
I thought every black person that went down there and voted for that man
was crazy as hell.
I don't like neither one of them.
If anything, he's only made destroyers.
Your phone breaking up, brother.
Yeah, it's on the phone. Well, yeah, the reality is both of them trash, but that's all made it to destroy us. Your phone breaking up, brother. Yeah, his phone is down.

That's right.
Good morning, guys.
How y'all feeling?
Good morning, Breakfast Club.
50 years of Good Times.
Wow.
I know.
Wow.
Wow.
And we're still going strong.
Yeah.
Did y'all know Good Times was going to make the mark that it made?
Well, I didn't.
Had no idea. No well i didn't had no
idea no we didn't but we're very grateful it did yeah well from the beginning let's start how how
did it come about how did good times come about how did you guys audition and how did it make
because during that time there wasn't too many of us on television so how did it come about well
and he is black you know when you say that i don't know y'all know i can tell he is black, you know
Well, it started with me being in a beauty pageant, you know and from there
there was a manager watching me in the beauty pageant and
gave my mother a card to say they're looking for a teenager to be in this show
and meet Norman Lear at CBS.
So we went up there.
But there were thousands of girls when I opened the door.
So I mean, but that's how it started with me.
You was a teenager on Good Times?
Yeah.
How old were you?
18.
Oh, okay.
I was about to say.
Lord have mercy. yeah all right okay
you're still beautiful thank you absolutely so and then um you know after a couple of months
i thought i didn't get it you know because i didn't hear back from them and um then i did
get the call my mom got the call that i was thelma and so they flew me out to california
that's how it happened for me wow what. What about you, Mr. Carter?
By the time I began to work with Norman Lear, I had been in my sixth Broadway play by that time.
During my journey with Miss Jane Murray and also Pat Kirkland.
These are two wonderful women who I auditioned for when I went there.
However, I literally had the job before I got the job.
My contract was bought from The Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine
Hansberry. We did the adapt version of the musical play. By that time, I had won the Tony Award
nomination that year in 74. However, as a result of that, Norman would consistently, he came more
than twice to see my work and flew my mother and I out to the state of California. I, you know, I was reluctant because they always said,
it never rains in California.
And I was excited.
It rained for three months when I got there.
Right then and there, any illusions about Hollywood
were always neutralized as far as I'm concerned.
So I'm very grateful to have not only worked with
and still love Jimmyimmy walker and
bernadette but we give respect to the spirit of miss esterol and to johnny brown who played
bookman to helen martin who played weeping wander these are wonderful people that helped us along
the way of course to mr ben powers as well. Albert Reed, who played the older man.
These are the people who accentuated what we did.
Of course, we're working with the wonderful Debbie Allen and the work that she contributed to our production.
So we thank you.
What about you, Mr. Walker?
I'm just a hardcore stand-up.
That's it.
That's all I do.
I'm just a stand-up to the core.
So I went to a comedy store.
I'm doing shows.
I go back to bed
at like three o'clock in the morning get a call jd joe she says where are you i said in my bed
sleeping she says well you belong across the street we're doing rehearsals i said rehearsal
for what she says there's a show called good times you signed on to the show i had signed on to it
at the improv leave them yeah i because i didn't believe him
because he's a liar so i was just a verbal contract no they had a contract kenny the drunk who was a
lawyer was at the bar i said kenny is this any good he said yeah i think so sign it i'll send
it back for you and i thought i said kenny's drunk he's not going to say said Kenny's drunk he's not gonna say he's alive he's not gonna send it so then he sent it back so I was on the show so I go to the
rehearsal and there's a whole bunch of people there at the rehearsal because I
didn't even know we had a script because they said this script downstairs I said
I'm going back to bed because I'm not going downstairs to get a script cuz
they're lying I don't have time but you did I saw when I got the script and i'm reading the script and i said the guy next to me like you normally i said man this
sucks what is this i said i he said we're gonna do a tv show i said really i said you're a liar
it's not gonna happen this is terrible from then on we did the show and i was always throwing stuff
in and people got upset so when did you stop thinking people was lying? Never. I think it now.
People, I mean, agents are liars.
They're all liars.
No, very few people, people want to be bigger than what they are.
And the big people, you never meet them.
They're in the big glass tower upstairs on the 90th floor.
So, you know, even if like like, Bernadette will tell you,
even if I meet a girl,
I say, give me your number.
I know she's lying
because she's not going to give you the number.
And then with the horrible things
with the cell phones,
they don't answer.
You text them.
You email them.
They just, they sit in their room
and they sit with their girlfriends
and they start laughing.
They go, this moron i met at walmart
he asked for my number i was busy i gave him my number because i know i'm never going to talk to
my answer is emails ever again lucky this week once in a while somebody will come through, but very, very rarely. And the girl will be nice.
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 you know that rush of endorphins you feel
after a great workout well that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real,
inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for
Post Run High. 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,

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams.
I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation
and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we
get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth,
gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best
and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

No, I wasn't lucky yet.
But it was a girl that showed promise.
Oh, she answered.
She answered, and I was like, really?
Sometimes you're so stunned. And then one called you.
One did call back.
I was stunned.

The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking in with the cast of Good Times on this Flashback Friday.
Ralph Carter, Bernadette Stannis, and Jimmy Walker.
Charlamagne?
How do y'all feel about the Good Times cartoon on Netflix? Well, that's Bernadette's thing. She'll tell you.
How do you feel, Ms. Bernadette? Because they keep calling it a reboot, but that's not a...
No, that's not it at all. No, that's not it at all. I think that
our audience missed something. You know, they missed what happened to us.
It's always they want the completion of it. It never really
happened so far.
My thing about the animation was this, that, you know, I know that Jimmy Walker came to them and he presented a cartoon about five years before this, before this one.
And it was it was the really the the all of us the way we are in an, and we have our same voices and everything like that.
They didn't bite that.
But later on came up with, they're going to do an animation.
And I remember my manager called them and said, well, what are they going to, are we going to be in it or not?
So the way they described the animation to us was this.
It was going to be a modern day, you you know progression of what everything is going to be for
the good times family you know fine but they asked jimmy and i to do a tiny little part but it sounded
okay you know we didn't see the scripts so jimmy did the part i did a little part my character's
name is peaches you know she's like a project lady that's whatever but when the trailer came out we
saw it and everybody was like no you know
you don't have a crack baby in somebody in the mother's arms you don't do that so and i remember
having an interview with the singer gill strap jim gill strap and he was saying you know there
are some lyrics that they took out so i said what were the lyrics and he said well you know they say
roaches roaming the hallway and the landlord lives on the
other side of town or something like that he said that they took it out because 50 years ago now
they thought that that would be offensive to black people okay but 50 years later you have
two roaches singing in the shower they're singing the song They're singing the song, Good Time. So I'm like, this is not it.
I haven't watched it.
Mr. Carty?
I actually was quite disappointed with the actors
who took the time to sign on to that project.
These are actors and artists and comedians
that I really had a high regard for.
I won't use the past tense with them right now,
but I'm disappointed at the fact that they did that.
When I did take a quick review of this particular rubbish that I saw,
I was contacted by some media outlets
from my point of view,
but I refused to dignify it with a response.
And I'm just pretty much disappointed
with the artist who signed on to it.
Y'all don't like the Good Times reboot.
To say that?
Yes.
It's crazy.
50 years of good times.
I'm shocked nobody did a documentary or some type of reunion show.
Y'all didn't get approached about none of that?
No.
The anthology that I did write, it wouldn't be a product commercially right now, again, because of the losses that we had.
But we did have a movie that we were going to we're going to put together And we had all the characters
It just didn't
They are now ancestors
So we have to
This is Brett Miller
Who works with Norman
And that's the guy
Who kind of
Kind of gaboshed us
Yeah
And that was it
I mean that's the way
Because when I took it around
Everybody I talked to says
Well do you own the rights?
And we go
No
And they said
Well Nothing we can do for you.
And these are all friends of mine.
So that's the way it was.
I just think that they didn't want us involved and they achieved their goal.
Yeah.
Well, we love y'all.
All right, guys.
We celebrate y'all.
Yes.
Our fans really kept writing us and telling us how much they loved us and they didn't like the animation.
You know,
they respect us
in so many different ways.
So we still got
our satisfaction out of it,
you know?
Absolutely.
And when the people
don't like it,
watch out.
That's right.
Well, we appreciate you guys
for joining us.
50 years of good times.
The lyrics to the theme song.
Y'all all know that, right?
No, I don't know it.
I think Ralph knows it.
Keeping your head above water
making a wave when you can temporary layoffs good times easy credit riffle good time scratching in
surviving good time good times hanging in a child line no oh it's hanging in the child that's how i
interpret it i have the written lyrics yes it is was hanging in and jiving Yes it is Hanging in and jiving You have two versions
Hanging in and jiving
Hanging in and jiving
But also I have on document
In my archive
Hanging in the child line
Isn't that something?
So they have
They said it that way so long
They have both versions of it
However it really caught on
The way that the wonderful
Jeanne Dubois wrote the soundtrack
For Moving On Up for the Jeffersons
Jeanne Dubois is the writer for Moving On Up for the Jeffersons.
Jeanne Dubois is the writer and the musician and the vocalist that sings that song.
So that in itself, when you deal with theme songs,
and when we were coming on, y'all were gracious enough to play it for us.
So it was a nice way to walk into your sound studio, and we thank you.
So the mystery continues continues we still don't
know if it's hanging in the chat line it's hanging in and jiving yeah that's what it is
bernie dead not gonna have this going on for a while
jim jim gillstrap the one who sung it told me he said it was hanging in and jiving
hanging in the chat so that's what it was but it came off i don't know if it was the enunciation of it or not but it came off as
hanging in a child line it sounds that way but it really was hanging in a jive and there's a
second verse that people have never heard that goes to the same song so the information that i
do have it has what i'm trying to say That's the Roaches singing in the shower.
Phil, you guys have been wonderful.
I thank you for thinking enough of us.
Again, to your listening audience, we thank you again for a wonderful 50 years.
May you be blessed by every breath you breathe and every beat of your heart.
Thank you very much.
That's right.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Thank you.
All right.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Jessv jess hilarious charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club if you're just joining us we're talking about getting massages from the opposite sex now
this conversation started from mason cameron talking about having trainers and and women
using male trainers and then we heard charlemagne said recently that you got a massage from a male and you said it was amazing and what what did he say about he said that the guy massaged
every part of his body even his mouth not every part of the body but he definitely gave me a mouth
massage which is something i never had before because apparently there's two muscles in your
mouth and i'm the type person uh you know because of like anxiety and stuff like that like i'm always
like grinding my teeth a little bit
or like I open my mouth real wide.
I don't know why.
And so it's like he massaged these two muscles in my mouth
and they hurt like hell.
How do you massage them?
With his hands.
Oh, okay.
Like it's like a technique.
Anybody out there that does this massage thing I'm talking about,
I know you know what I'm talking about,
but it's like these two corners right here.
And he just put them in and he kind of like
tugs on it a little bit and it's painful
but man, it's very
stress relieving.
So you were able to open your mouth wider after?
Like what type of effects did that have on your mouth?
I haven't been grinding my teeth
as much since then.
I haven't been grinding my teeth that much since then.
But I mean, I've never had a male masseuse
until that time and he did a fantastic job.
But it's just like
football players
and basketball players
who got male trainers
who you think is massaging them
and rubbing on their muscles.
Yeah, no, absolutely.
But I just never heard
of a mouth massage.
Yeah, it's out there.
Matter of fact,
I'm going to Google it right now.
Yeah, matter of fact,
you should.
Yeah, when I go to
physical therapy
and there's a male masseuse,
that's different.
But when you go to
a massage place and the lights are low and it's intimate and the candles are burning.
Yeah, I would just prefer a woman to massage me.
That is just me.
But you did.
You did have a male masseuse before.
And you listen to everything.
Absolutely.
But it wasn't that it was it was me and my wife together was a couple's massage.
And it was supposed to teach us how to give a massage.
And the dude came in. Diesel dreads brown skin brother very sexy the
fact that you described him makes me think that this was a free cold case
okay oh but he got charged with a free cold but you know me but during the
massage I couldn't enjoy the massage because this big brother mm-hmm
diesel with dreads that's your massage me with oil. That's your insecurity.
It was.
That's your insecurity.
And I don't want it again.
I don't know why you're so insecure if you ain't never had your butt touched.
Right.
Like, I don't have those insecurities.
Like, I ain't thinking nothing.
When that man was massaging me, I didn't think about nothing except for this was a good massage.
Okay.
Nothing.
In no way, shape, or form.
But this is a real thing.
Clinical oral facial massage.
That's what it's called.
I get that all the time.
And the woman that does it is dope she does an amazing job it alleviates clicking or popping of the jaw
clenching locked jaw and limited mouth open range uh and it releases muscles and i've never seen
this word fascia involved with chewing and jaw clenching so this is a thing so when he when he
massages you does he reach over you like yeah he's on the side. Because you know you have to lay.
Y'all did it from the side.
What'd you say?
He was on the side.
Oh, he's on the side.
When he was on one side, I had to turn this way.
Now he was on this side, I had to turn that way.
But listen, if you've never had a clinical oral facial massage, trust me, it is worth it.
Okay.
What about you i enjoy massages from the same sex um although i have had
massages uh from a male and i like the pressure more from a guy um however i ain't gonna lie i do
get excited like especially when they be like turnover and you massaging my stomach and under
my breasts and all that and i just be just be like, stop. You know?
So I'm not going to lie, yo.
I don't know.
I just, I can't.
Let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
This is Kevin from Brooklyn.
Hey, Kevin from Brooklyn.
What's going on, MD?
How you doing?
I'm doing good. I love you, baby.
I love you too, baby.
We're talking about massages from the same sex to opposite sex, brother.
Talk to us.
Yeah, I had to dip out on a massage the other day because it was same sex.
I'm not going to call the company name.
But, yeah, it was same sex, and I wasn't feeling that.
I can't have a next man rubbing me.
I just can't do that.
You never played any type of sports in high school or anything like that? It's different.
Yeah. It's different when the lights are low
and you're laying on the thing and there's a candle lit
and the music is playing. Yeah, because they set
the mood. It's different.
Y'all, I think y'all gave them the look.
It's something about a man, because see,
my lower back hurts. And it's something
about a man rubbing down me. I can't,
you know, I can't.
And I'm sitting right with him.
Yeah.
Well,
Charlamagne is
upset because
not a lot of
men are,
not all men
are open up
to other men
or open to
other men
touching them.
I don't know
why everybody's
so insecure.
It has nothing
to do with
insecurity.
This is very
much got to do
with insecurity
because if in
your mind
you're thinking,
man,
I might get
turned on
by this guy,
man,
I don't want
this guy
touching me
because I
might like it.
That's your
problem.
No, that's not everybody's problem. Envy said that. Not everybody said that. Envy said the same thing you said. He said, man. I don't want this guy touching me because I might like it. That's your problem. That's something you need to deal with.
No, that's not everybody's problem. Envy said that.
Envy said the same thing you said. He said, man, when the guy told me
to turn around, I tooted up a little bit.
No, I didn't say that. You just can't make up stories.
You just can't make up stories. He just made that up.
You just can't make stuff up. Hello, who's this?
Hello, my name is Monica.
Hey, Monica. Good morning. Good morning.
Now, it says you're uncomfortable receiving
massages from other men? Yes, I am. Good morning. Now, it says you're uncomfortable receiving massages from other men.
Yes, I am.
Why?
Because I feel like I make noises if I'm enjoying it.
Yes.
So it sounds sexual, even though it may not be sexual.
Girl, yes.
And I usually make the guy think, oh, well, she might be into me,
and it may go somewhere that it's not supposed to.
Like what kind of noises?
You a freaky boy.
You a yellow freaky boy, man.
What's your problem?
I never got into myself.
Yeah, yeah.
But I get what you're saying, though.
Yeah, girl, come with a whole soundtrack.
Especially when they tell you.
Yeah, it does.
And that's just how I am.
And I don't know how to not be that way.
I just rather get one from a woman
because I'm not interested in them.
You know, you bring up a good point.
Like, every single time I get a massage,
you know, from a woman,
you know, you do tend to get a little erect.
You know what I'm saying?
You do, you do.
But I've never, when I had it with the guy,
that didn't happen at all.
Did you make sounds?
Right, because there's no interest.
And if they're making you feel good,
you can't help but sound like it feels good.
And by the way, the guy made me feel good,
but I didn't get a wreck.
Because you're not attracted to the guy.
Yeah, because when they hit your lower back,
I'm telling you, sometimes it's like,
oh my God, yes, right there.
And then when they turn you over and they they go
below your belly button it's like oh my god like what you know like you get all jittery
that's the third time she said well they turn you over but real that's a full body they do your back
and then they turn you they turn you over and they do everything else we have a massage therapist on
the line hello hey? Hey, yes.
Hey, what's your name, bro?
My name's Chris.

No.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself,
and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities
for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.
Listen to On Purpose

Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out
of like, this is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King
Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme
Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Well,
why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know,
with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help. We still have the
off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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. 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.
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.
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.
Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, James Brown, B.B. King, Miriam Akiba.
I shook up the world.
James Brown said, say it loud.
And the kid said, I'm black and I'm proud.
Black boxing stars and black music royalty together in the heart of Zaire, Africa.
Three days of music and then the boxing event.
What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as important that anything else is going on on the planet.
My grandfather laid on the ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out.
Welcome to Rumble, the story of a world in transformation.
The 60s and prior to that, you couldn't call a person black.
And how we arrived at this peak moment.
I don't have to be what you want me
to be. We all came from
the continent of Africa.
Listen to Rumble, Ali,
Foreman, and the Soul of 74
on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts.
With a bald head and a beard.
Oh, yes.
It's a pleasure.
It's a pleasure to be on here.
So I've been a massage therapist for 12 years and I have that problem majority of the time
where the husbands have a hard time working with me.
But it's not about that.
It's the muscular care that needs to be done for our society that we're not addressing.
Biometrical movement is the key to internal healing.
And so what's happening in our society now is we're quick to biochemical things in our mouth,
but we're not doing the things that we need to do on a muscular level to heal.
That's right.
You got to move that trauma up out of your body.
That's right.
And so with that, there's 656 individual muscles, 360 joints, and 208 bones that nobody knows anything about.
Do you do the oral facial massage?
Yes, it's called inter-oral massages where you go into the mandible,
you release the masseter, and it helps with the TMJ.
That's right.
It hurts, but it feels so good.
Afterwards.
I do neuromuscular therapy.
Neuromuscular therapy
is trigger point release
to the actual belly
of the muscle.
And it actually helps
elongate the individual muscle
from the insertion to origin.
Okay.
He couldn't do my massage.
Not the way he's talking.
You got to be quiet
the whole time.
Anyway, I'm over here
like, oh my God.
I don't even know what you're saying.
I'm just like, oh, yes, come teach me.
You do tennis elbow, bro?
I do tennis elbow, golfer, hip flexor, rotator cuff.
You guys need to do yourself some research on your muscular therapy.
Oh, I love it.
I'm about to go get me a massage today because of you.
I'm going.
Yes.
I got so many points at Massage Envy.
Shit.
Oh, yeah.
They're not going to get it like him.
If you ever want to check out massage care out of Conway, South Carolina,
I opened up my business, and that's what I'm focusing on.
Oh, you're in South Carolina?
Oh, he excited now?
Yes, sir.
Okay.
He going to fly down there to you, sir. He's flying to you. Nah, nah, nah. I can't let a male touch me in South Carolina? Oh, he excited now? Yes, sir. Okay. He gonna fly down there to you, sir.
He's flying from today.
Nah, nah, nah.
Get another oral.
I can't let a male touch me in South Carolina.
What?
Hey, I'm from D.C.
See, that's the perception, okay?
Say, say.
Life trauma, childhood trauma causes us not to want to be touched.
That's real.
We have to deal with that trauma.
Listen. Thank you, brother. He is not lying in no way, shape, or form.
Salute to that brother.
Your shoulder ain't full of doodoo.
Yeah, it definitely is.
Yo, nah, I can't let another male touch me from South Carolina.
I say touch me in South Carolina.
What's the difference?
Because of the childhood trauma that I experienced in South Carolina.
Yeah, I was going to say, he low-key just told you.
All the times I got touched in South Carolina by people that wasn't supposed to be touching me.
Oh, my God.
Now, laugh at that.
Let's see you get out of this one.
Oh, my God.
The fun police over here.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
We have comedian Ali Sadiq.
Welcome, brother.
Man, thank you for having me, brother.
How you feeling?
I'm good, man.
Man, I like the way you distribute your comedy, man.
You dropping specials like Lil Wayne used to drop mixtapes.
And they all funny.
Yeah, man, thank y'all.
Going to independent, right?
Keeping it independent.
You know, I'm from Houston.
We the capital of independent.
Ain't nobody coming out that waiting to look for us.
We just got to do it.
That's right. Out the trunk. Rap a lot.
Out the trunk.
That's right.
Everybody always say Rap a lot.
I think that's our only label too.
We had some other labels, but Rap a lot,
they didn't stick around.
We had Suave House.
Suave House, that's right.
And then after that, you'd have the independent, you know,
Swisher House for sure.
But Rappalot is the staple.
Absolutely.
They should have did a comedy thing.
We tried Laugh-A-Lot, but it didn't stick.
You know what's so funny?
It didn't stick at all.
J. Prince's reputation precedes him, but he's a funny guy.
He is.
I've done, I've roasted J. Prince a lot. No, you didn't. at all. J Prince reputation precedes him, but he's a funny guy? He is. I've done, I've roasted J Prince a lot.
No, you didn't.
How is that?
That was dangerous.
I think that we have a healthy respect for each other.
You know, the last time I wrote, I was hosting something.
It's not like I'm roasting him at a roast.
This is me hosting something.
I'm like, yo, man, so you got all these bodyguards?
It was him and Floyd next to each other.
Like, somebody's bodyguard got to take off because can't nobody see like who gonna jump on you next to jay pran you see i'm like and he's small he's smaller yes okay you look a lot of
dudes around though yeah i know and i know most of them how'd you get in the comedy um man just
being black really you know i've been funny since I was a kid.
You know, I know people try to think I was funny because I was in prison, but no, I was jovially sarcastic in prison.
I was the kid on the back of the bus.
And then when I was in prison, I was the same way.
Oh, so y'all about to fight?
Okay, who gonna lose this fight twice?
What you mean?
I said, because, okay, the mixed play, one of y'all gonna win this fight and then
the ceo is gonna come in and beat up both of y'all so who wanna lose this fight twice
but that was my logic you know i was just a sarcastic jovial sarcastic person and when i
got out it was the it was the goal it was definitely the goal that became funny how i even
got in to start doing the goal because you start comedy you actually don't
know what to do you've seen it but where do you go you know now you got to go to open mic i knew
i needed clothes that's what i definitely knew i needed was clothes because you know comics always
dress and i'm coming out of prison i had a seat my my sister sent me a little sears outfit you
know it was a little it was a little shirt from Sears.
It was Knights of the Round Tables.
I knew that was from Sears and some khakis.
Knights of the Round Tables.
Man, it's a fake polo.
Perfect polo.
My daddy bought them. My daddy bought them when polos were really in style.
He came in.
Man, I found these polos on discount.
I said, man, that is not a polo, man.
That is a dude with a flag.
You know the Knights of the Round T table only have three legs on that horse.
Man, that horse only had three legs, man.
That was your first ride out of prison?
That was your first ride out of prison?
Yeah, that was my first ride out of prison.
Okay.
A nice round table.
How long were you in prison?
Six years.
Six.
What'd you do?
I used to be a street pharmaceutical rep Which is very frowned upon
When you sell drugs
They want you to have a jacket
Go to like a CVS or Rite Aid or somewhere
People come in with prescriptions
I was, you know, shortcutting it
What kind of drug was it?
Unfortunately, crack
You said, oh, okay
That was the worst ever
Marijuana, you was just ahead of your time.
You know, I got partners who went to jail for marijuana,
and they knew it was wrong.
They're like, man, this don't even make no sense.
It's a leaf.
Now, what I did was definitely wrong.
The fact that you only got six years back then is,
because they were giving people football numbers.
Who got six years?
Oh, I thought you said you did six years.
No, I did six years.
Oh, you did six years. No, I did six years. Oh, you did six years.
No, I did six on a 15.
Wow.
Yeah, and I had a 15 and a 10 that ran concurrent.
Who did six years?
Who got six years?
I said six years for crap.
I said, they didn't even get football numbers.
They didn't get six.
I said, they only got six.
I said, Jesus.
Man, no.
You knew somebody.
No, I didn't know nobody i knew real
harris my uh um attorney first when i first went in it was a fed case and fed they suspect too
they they come in there oh we just gonna give you 300 months and in your mind
they said like that yeah 300 months and in your mind you're like okay 300 months that ain't that ain't nothing but i know math and i'm like nah nah you know 300 months you know 12 nah we carry nah you crazy
so they because they said it in months so it sound like you can do it 300 months it can sound
like days but then when you do go to calculating so then you gotta drop down the state in the state
the lady came in she was wowing the prosecutor she said well i'm recommending 99 years this is
when 99 years this is the thing envy how much crack you got i only i only i not only but it
was five keys right so the thing is this jesus they're not supposed to let me in court because
i'm gonna say something my attorney at attorney, he wasn't talking fast enough.
He's like 99 years.
And I said a very derogatory word to that lady.
And I asked her who she thinks she caught.
I'm like, man, I am 19.
Who do you think you caught, ma'am?
Escobar?
So we come back to court again.
Got reset off.
She's talking about, I think 60 years would be appropriate.
Ma'am, once again, man.
Listen, do you want me to have a life after this?
So when you get out of jail, you get out of prison, you get your fake polo,
do you remember your first show?
Yes.
Just Joking Comedy Cafe, Thursday night, Apollo night,
I have on a suit because I'm working at most.
I got a job at the mall.
Okay.
So I'm working at most most of men's apparel store
got a suit on this is when you learn observation so there's a lot of college kids in there because
it's a apollo night they and everybody up there doing everything so i go up and all i said was
hey and them folks booed a suit jacket off me hey i'm i'm not even i didn't even tell it i'm somebody it was bad so it was man i'm
talking about them booze they it was it was in stereo too so i i came and sat down and my partner
drake on my man what happened i said bro you saw what happened he was in the audience i think you was born with them. You participated.
At the time,
Nikki,
she asked me,
my kid's mom.
How we be talking like we know all these people?
I was going to explain it.
I said,
what's your jacket at?
I said, it's on the stage.
They booted off me. It was crazy. Damn. You had to go back up there and get your jacket at? I said, it's on the stage. They booted off me.
It was crazy.
Damn.
So you had to go back up and get your jacket?
Man, yes.
Man, it was,
it was,
so I waited for two weeks.
Waited for two weeks.
Came back,
t-shirt and jeans
and I didn't write down
what I was doing
because everybody was singing,
man,
and I never won
at this Apollo night
because people hit you with
the gospel songs even though i was i was good gospel song can't be okay man i heard i sang the
dude he would start rapping and was getting about to get booed and change this song in the middle
of the song start singing about jesus so I'm like, wait a minute. I'm like, well, this is more rapping than the video. Now he's talking about
how you spare relief.
J-U-S-U-M.
I'm like,
wow,
boy,
you're wild.
So,
I changed my whole thing.
Went back up
every week
for about
a month and a half
to the people.
As soon as I would get there,
after that,
people were like,
yo,
man,
you going up tonight?
Oh,
he's funny.
So,
I ended up becoming
the host of that same place
that I got booed in,
Just Joking Comedy Cafe. And I was the host for like a year. Yeah, that's how I started. ended up becoming the host of that same place that I got booed in, Just Joking Comedy Cafe.
And I was the host for like a year.
Yeah, that's how I started.
All right, we got more with comedian Ali Sadiq.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Hey, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with comedian Ali Sadiq.
Jess.
So how did you turn into the storyteller comedian?
Because that's hard for people to do. Like, it's hard. comedian cause that's a lot of that's hard
for people to do
like it's
it's hard
I imagine not for you
but it's hard
D.L.
D.L.
I'm on the road
with D.L.
he told me
he said yo man
the funniest you gonna
ever be in life
is based on
how honest you wanna be
and
this was after
some people
when I was writing jokes
I don't even blame the people anymore
because i think that when you have writers that writers under the pressure of turning in something
to another comic and so they could see your show and then turn in i mean i don't have nothing this
week but if you try to get that check so you turn in somebody else's material to do the person who you turned it into has no idea that you just saw this somewhere.
And so now, oh, you a thief.
So now I just, I switched from doing jokes to doing everything personally about me.
And people still try to steal it, but it's hard because now, you know, there's a lot of comics that all of a sudden they went to
jail but i went to prison it's a different thing jail and a lot of people went to jail but prison
is two different things but that county into prison two totally different things so i would
go up and people would try to doing jail stuff in front of me i'm like but you know that's not
what i'm doing i'm i'm walking through my life from 10 years old to now so it
just happens to be the first comedy series of specials like these all these specials are tied
together so if you see three now which came out mother's day you can't go see four without seeing
one and two yeah and one is the masterpiece but three is the best one to me thus far that I see.
And two has a different cachet to it because I was shown a different skill set in the actual art of it.
Because it's two faces to comedy, you know.
It's having a tragedy.
So in two, my sister passed.
Sorry to hear that, my brother.
Well, it's late now.
I didn't know.
I didn't know.
You don't mind me dead? I was 20 years old.
I was already 20 years old.
I haven't seen you in a long time.
Grief is not linear.
I don't know how you're feeling this morning about it.
I mean, I... It was 20 years ago. I don't know how you're feeling this morning about it. Man, I...
It was 20 years ago.
Charlotte said, I haven't seen you in a while.
What?
It's 20 years.
Man, this guy is crazy.
I don't know.

I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know. I'm mad. We've dealt with it. This guy's crazy.
You know, my whole intent to come up here, because I was mad at you.
What'd I do?
Man, you were saying my name wrong, and you did it twice, too.
You were saying, Ali.
I'm like, this man know how to say my name.
What'd he say wrong?
Ali.
What's Ali?
You were talking about my special with somebody.
Yeah, I think his name's Ali.
And they said it to me, and it was on the breakfast.
I'm like, he knows how to is Ali, Ali, and they sent it to me and it was on the break, I'm like,
he knows how to
say Ali.
He knows,
he knows.
No,
because I kept
hearing other people
say Ali.
I don't know why
you was listening
to other people,
you better not
show them that.
And I said,
say A-L-I.
I said,
somebody call up
there and ask him
who his favorite
boxer is,
probably Muhammad
Ali.
He's going to
say Ali.
Just take the
Muhammad out.
Because when the first special came out,
everybody I knew was talking about that special.
Especially in the comedy world.
It was like, yo, you got to watch this dude, Ali Sadiq.
Ain't nobody say that to him.
Nobody say you got to watch this dude, Ali Sadiq.
He know a lot of real, common, common stories.
Ain't nobody say Ali Sadiq. I'm saying nobody say that.
You know, he's like Ali Wong.
Like, he said,
all of Ali's right.
But then he got to me,
I was like,
and look,
I don't even know Charlamagne.
I'm like,
Charlamagne don't like me.
When I get up,
when I finally get to the break,
I'm leading with,
hey man,
why you saying my name?
Then I forget,
then I left it alone.
Right, it's like,
whatever.
Whatever, at least he mentioned me. he mentioned me that's all I had
but that first special
took off though
yeah
did you
understand that
it would do that
or it was just a risk
I'm gonna throw this
on YouTube
and see what happens
man I thought
it was really good
and when I do a special
it takes a while
for it to
you know I had recorded
probably three or four
specials before that one
and was like
no
it's not special.
So Domino Effect, the first one, I knew that it was, I knew it.
It's like the first album I put out, Talking Loud, Saying Something.
That's my reasonable doubt, you know.
So I knew once I put this one out, I knew it.
I had that feeling about it.
I was too excited about it.
And it didn't have any flaws to it.
And that's one thing when I look at something,
I don't want it to have anything that somebody can grab onto.
Like, but what about this?
So when that happened and then somebody said, well, what's the rest of the story?
I said, what?
Like, what happened after that?
I said, you want to know?
So you had never even planned to make it all of it, to keep on going with a series.
When somebody asked me about what happened after that, and I said, okay, well, I stopped at 16.
So let's do from 16 to 19.
And then we did two.
And then I said, yo, let's finish up how I even got incarcerated people know I was there but let's
see how I got there yeah and then we we did three and we recorded three and four in DC at the same
time so we did um two shows on that Friday and two shows on that Saturday so four comes out Father's
Day so we strategically um put one on Mother's day one on father's day and four
is two hours long you know versus the 130 that we i've been doing your your special uh part four um
comes out on father's day like you said how much is how much of that involves like your dad or does
it even involve man my dad um he i put him all through the rest of them he has a small piece in four
because he had while i was incarcerated my pops had at 50 almost 60 years old got locked up for
an assault and my daddy thought he was on some big boss mob type thing because his two brothers

Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King
Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the
Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Well,
why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself,
and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities
for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
I really got Bronx trauma.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
We in the Bronx!
What are you talking about?
Shut up!
Y'all not shutting us down!
We in the car!
The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all the...
Why does the Sunshine State consistently produce such strange news?
If I catch y'all last in traffic, I'm with her, my genie and I, y'all don't suck.
It is just going to be many wacky news stories out of Florida.
On The Breakfast Club. Oh, man.
That kills me every time, man.
Salute to Kodak Black, man.
Don't hear the day for Monday.
This is your Uncle Sharla.
Always tell you about the great state of Florida.
The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
And today is no exception.
In fact, today is so nuts.
I'm still trying to figure out the why.
See, Christy woke up and decided today is the day she wanted to steal a car.
Not just steal a car, she wanted to steal a car from an actual dealership.
Her reasoning for wanting to steal a car from an actual dealership was so she could do it legally.
I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to News Channel 8 for the report, please.
And deputies responded to a call from a female stating that she was attempting to steal a
vehicle from the dealership parking lot and wanted the police to know so she could do it legally.
Take a listen to the 911 call. Because I'm trying to steal a car that's not legally mine,
so y'all gotta come make a report. I'm reporting this.
Deputies arrived on scene and observed 37-year-old Christy Lee Turman
exiting the driver's side of the stolen Corolla.
According to Turman, she was being trained in a game of black ops to steal a car,
but called 911 in an attempt to make her carjacking legal.
Turman was arrested and charged with trespassing.
Her history includes a variety of charges such as petty theft, robbery, and aggravated battery.
I still don't know what the hell is going on here. Steal the car from the dealership
so she could do it legally? There's no such thing. Baby, where did you think you could
steal a car legally? Where you learn that from? YouTube? You heard the phone call. Christy
told deputies she was being trained in a game of black ops to steal a car, but called authorities to make her carjacking legal.
I'm concerned that deputies did not find any drugs.
OK, you know, when you hear a story like this, you know, you waiting to hear that the person was on drugs.
I had some type of mental issues.
None of that.
OK, none of that here.
This is just pure uncut Florida.
All right.
Because I'm trying to
steal a car that's not legally mine so y'all better come make a report i'm reporting this
i don't even know what that means all right i literally did some research and by research i
mean i had my folks uh ask chat gpt and chat gpt said it's not possible to legally steal a car
just in case you needed to know all right it said stealing a car is a criminal act and is
punishable by law.
If you are interested in acquiring a car,
you should consider legal methods such as one,
purchasing,
buying a car from a dealership or a private seller.
Two,
leasing,
leasing a car from a dealership,
which allows you to use the car for a set period while making monthly payments.
Three,
renting,
renting a car for short term use from a rental agency.
And four,
financing, getting a loan from a bank or financial institution to buy a car.
If you have any questions about these processes or need advice on acquiring a car legally, feel free to ask.
That's what ChatGPT told us, okay?
The moral of the story is there is no legal way to steal a car.
This young lady said she was being trained in a game of Black Ops.
I didn't even know they steal cars in Black Ops.
I thought that was Grand Theft Auto.
Okay, this is like getting caught with kilos of cocaine and saying you was being trained in a game of Narcos, Rise of the Cartel.
Look, man, I don't know what else to tell you.
Okay, but there is no legal way to steal a car.
And Christy was arrested and is facing trespassing charges.
And what bothers me the most about this is i took the time to google and do
chat gpt just to make sure i wasn't missing something because hey christy may know something
that we don't know but guess what i'm mad at myself now because i knew better my spirit the
spiritual being that i am a hundred percent knew that there was no legal way to steal a car but
the human in me just couldn't accept that so i went digging and
i couldn't find not one solitary reason for her to do this other than she's from florida
please give christy turman the sweet sounds of the hamilton's
of the day, you are the donkey.
Of the day, yee-haw.
Yee-haw.
Mm-mm-mm-mm.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey today.
Mm-hmm.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
It's time for Jess Fix My Mess. Who we have
on the line? KK.
Hey KK, where you calling from? I am
calling from North Carolina.
Alright, what's your question for Jess?
Okay, Jess. I love you, Jess
girl. What's up, girl? Okay, so
my question is,
or my thing is, I've been married for
almost a decade, and
I'm American, my husband is Jamaican, and married for almost a decade. And I'm American.
My husband is Jamaican.
And one thing I have an issue with that I need your advice with, I was raised with nothing but brothers.
I'm a baby of four boys.
And I'm tough.
I'm really tough.
And I just don't tolerate a lot of stuff.
You know what I'm saying? I wasn't raised with girls where, you know, want to sit there, look cute,
and, you know, be all up in makeup.
I was, you know, let's play some football or basketball.
You know what I'm saying?
So my husband always say,
why you always acting like a nitro?
Why you always, like...
And I'm just like,
I'm not going to tolerate you talking to me crazy.
And it's just like,
how do you just, like, really just shut up, like, sometimes?
Because it's like,
I feel like everything is showing my face.
If you talking crazy, my eyes start blinking and switching like, who you talking to, you know?
And it's like, it's hard to just like sit back and put that s*** aside, put up on the counter, you know what I'm saying, on the counter and just be quiet.
You know, even his mom will be like, hey, like, you know, he didn't mean it that way, no ma.
He didn't mean it that way, he didn't mean it that way. And he didn't mean that way he ain't mean that way and i'm just like oh he just called me a
like you know i'm like i'm like so are you how old are you i'm 35 35 okay so look i was like that
i grew up around my big brother and his friends like all his friends you know before my little
sister got here like i was raised I have way more
boy cousins than than you know girl cousins and then I grew up with a lot of homeboys or whatever
like that so I was always considered a tom girl in my childhood era but um it honestly takes
a certain person to unlock your soft side your soft girl side honestly it wasn't too many men that i've
dated that unlocked that either like i was really girl fighting dudes and everything like really
yeah yeah like trying to be the dominant one not even trying to be just because i'm such an alpha
so it's just like i was always like that as well um you've been married for this man for 10 years
you know for 10 years. Yes.
And you don't feel like he brings out the soft girl in you yet?
I think there's a lot of cultural differences.
You know, Jamaicans are very strong-minded.
They say what they want to say.
They don't feel that disrespect.
And I think it's just like what they can say okay so yeah
you did say he was Jamaican
I'm like hold up we in America
damn
you know so it's just
a toughness but I know we you know
it's just his culture but me I'm just like
I don't grew up I grew up a boy
it's like hard for me to I'm trying
to and even when I shut up I'm biting my lips
alright well he it gotta be some type of compromise because I do understand It's like hard for me to, I'm trying to, and even when I shut up, I'm biting my lips. All right, well, he got it.
It got to be some type of compromise because I do understand.
I have Jamaican friends.
And yeah, they are kind of like, they're like you.
Like, you know, but you just ain't Jamaican.
But he has to calm down and you have to calm down too.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I know you probably always on a defense when he makes points or whatever,
just because of how Jamaicans are known to be. But yeah, I forgot. You know what I'm saying? Because I know you probably always on a defense when he makes points or whatever,
just because of how Jamaicans are known to be.
But, yeah, I forgot.
That was, yeah, there's definitely cultural differences there.
But that's probably why you always on goal on, like, willing to go from zero to 100.
Because you feel like you're being talked down to,
or you feel like somebody trying to play with you, you feel attacked a lot, stuff like that.
Because I'm not dating a Jamaican. So, yeah, but I'm very much, attacked a lot stuff like that because i'm not dating a jamaican um so yeah but i'm very much i was very much like that but like i said it takes a certain person to
unlock yourself girl you know what i'm saying but yeah yeah it has to be compromised on both ends i
mean i'm not trying to change who he is but at the same time uh-uh because it's never gonna go over
smooth and i respect that yeah you gotta talk to him you gotta tell him like if you calm down i'ma calm down i'ma give you what you give me because
i tell my time what you want your mama i ain't your mama your mama's shush with the daddy i can't
damn how the hell was y'all married for 10 years that's that's two choices in the household well
i'ma pray for y'all But y'all need to talk about that
Like y'all need to be willing to compromise
No problem babe

I said I'm a lesbian.
I share a child with a woman.
Okay.
So that's like baseline of why I'm asking this question, right? we co-parent good she was my high school sweetheart but i got a current girlfriend the only reason me and her
broke up because she cheated on me but i have a current girlfriend and like whenever we're talking
or whenever we're going over anything she always brings up my current girlfriend like i don't want to be conflicted on arguing with her
and she's like you always getting defensive like it's not me being defensive but it's like a
conversation that we don't need to have every time we're talking about anything like we could be
talking about what our child ate today and it's like well did your girlfriend cook anything well
did your girlfriend do like i don't even understand
why she's even being brought up right now you don't understand why she's being brought up
yeah so to be honest you don't you don't understand why she's being brought up
i mean she i i she said she's not mad she said she don't care she said she's not jealous but
okay and reality one plus one equal two but at that point how do i deflect from the conversation
every time then then listen that you you you keep it text only that's just it like you if you can't
stop talking because obviously she's not over you if you can't if we can't have a conversation about
our child when you're not implementing the fact that i have a girlfriend or anything like you're
you're bringing her up then we just will not talk verbally.
We'll have to talk through text.
Like, lay the ground rules down.
Are you over her?
Yes.
I'm in a whole nother relationship.
That don't mean a damn thing.
But are you, so you over me?
It does mean.
It does not, girl.
You know.
All right, so is your ex in a relationship?
No, she hasn't been in one since.
She cheated on me.
See, so obviously, so she's not over you she's
my knowledge i don't know maybe right but i don't see her business like that right i wouldn't know
if dating or not dating but i got you push forth to me she say that she's not dating she ain't been
with nobody she's celibate that's because she tried all that is trying to get you back listen
you know how many guys and told me yo i'm celibate yo like i'm just trying to get you back for real for real you know
that's just he's not he's not trying to give me back because he say i'm toxic listen and and studs
love toxicity okay a lot of people love toxicity so that's just what it is she your baby mother's
not over you your ex is not over you. She's what my podcast Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt
the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally
that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment
of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.

Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel.

I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tribe owned country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a racket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

Hello, who's this?
This is Alex.
Hey, what's up, bro? What's your question for Jess?
Listen, I got a good question, man.
Good morning, everybody.
Good morning.
I've been dating my girl for about nine months,
and I recently just found a hidden camera in the room.
How should I go about it?
Wow.
You've been dating your girl for nine months,
and you found a hidden camera in the room recently.
Have you talked to her?
Yeah.
You haven't.
You're just talking to me.
I'm just talking to you first about it.
I want to know how to deliver it to her.
I don't think it's...
I honestly feel like... However you... However you deliver it to her. I don't think it's, I honestly feel like, ugh, however
you, however
you deliver it to her is
valid to me because
we've been, y'all live together?
Correct. Okay, how long y'all been
living together? For the nine months.
Y'all got together for nine months and then y'all just moved straight
in? Oh, I'm sorry. We've
been together for about a year.
And three months into it, I moved in. Okay, you moved moved in okay you moved okay okay okay jesus does she have children so yes originally i
thought the camera was for the kids because there's an open one in the living room but there's
a hidden one in our room and then she did not bring the attention at all didn't even try to
both both of them i would have just felt
more comfortable if she said hey there's cameras here this is how i feel safe well now that changes
i'm cool with that yeah it changes a little bit all right so i wouldn't because like what did she
got like a freaky freaky side because i know you don't have sex in the room so maybe like she'd be
watching back the tape like she's too shy she's She's too shy. Oh, yeah. No.
All right.
Well, I don't know.
You have to.
I think you sit down and you talk to her and be like, listen, so I noticed that there's
a hidden camera in our bedroom.
And the fact that you didn't bring it to me, you didn't run it past me.
You know what I mean?
And the fact that I had to find it, that's a little alarming.
And it messes with the trust.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, we've been together, living together for nine months. I don't want to feel like i can't trust you like are you watching
me are you waiting for me to slip up like what's up with this you understand what i'm saying she
can only be honest with that yeah open and honest i guess give her the platform to you know let it
out truth will set you free yeah this truth will definitely set you free but i think you should
definitely put your foot down like don't don't like you know don't you don't got backer into a corner but tell her how you feel about it like i
feel betrayed like i feel this is this is messing with the trust because i had to find a hidden
camera in the privacy of our room like and i i didn't know it was there and if i didn't find it
how long would would it have taken for you to say something right with me being so cool about it
especially like yo if it's about your safety and security,
I'm all for it, but...
No, don't even give her that.
Let her tell you that.
Don't give her that as an option.
Just let her tell you that,
if that's what it is.
Because a lot of times,
when you give people ways out,
they take them.
So, just let her tell you that.
But tell her that it for sure hurts you,
and it damages trust.
Big facts.
Should I have asked her to access to the camera, or just let her be facts. Should I have access to the camera or just let her be with it?
I want access to the camera if I'm living here and I imagine you paying bills.
Oh, I pay the mortgage.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I should have access to everything in this damn house.
Yes.
I want access to it for sure.
I don't want her to take them down because I mean, it's a valid point for safety and security.
I'm a cop. I know that, you to take them down because, I mean, it's a valid point for safety and security. I'm a cop.
I know it.
Right.
But definitely get that.
Make sure that is the reason.
Let her tell you that.
And then, yeah, you ask for access to it.
Absolutely.
Because you want to feel safe, too.
Too.
Right.
Right.
Big touch.
Thank you for the advice.
That's exactly what I needed.
No problem, boo.
Good luck.
