Starting point is 00:03:01 People want to be in business with the Breakfast Club. I don't think white people know how popular you guys are. DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. You guys really are like the hip-hop early morning, late night talk show. Yeah, I know what y'all talking about. It's a new day. This is your time to get it off your chest. Wake up. Whether you're mad or blessed. it's time to get up and get something call up now 800-585-1051 we want to hear from
Starting point is 00:03:33 you on the breakfast club hello who's this this is ashley hey ashley good morning where you calling from oh columbus columbus okay get it off your chest mama okay so i'm a stay-at-home mom but i also have my business on the side and i just feel like my husband is just so inconsiderate half the time like he doesn't understand what i really do you know you know like in the matter of words that i actually do you know how you can fix that ashley go away for a day and let him watch them six kids when i go away for a day my kids they call me i'll be like where's your dad they'll be like oh he's in the room now you turn off your phone for one day that and let him have to deal with feeding them kids watching those kids taking the kids out
Starting point is 00:04:16 why are you giving this bad advice that's done if your wife turned off her phone for one day you'd have a fit right but but no don't turn off your phone, Ashley. He doesn't appreciate her, so she's saying that she's a stay-at-home mom. And we've been together since high school. Like, he's the only man I've ever been with. Like, I really give everything and all my time to everybody. Turn the phone off. My kids and him. Do not turn your phone off for your husband, man.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Relax and let him have to take care of the kids. And I bet you when you come back, he'll be like, baby, please don't leave. Baby, baby, baby, baby. Don't turn your phone off for your husband, man. Do not listen to Envy, because Envy would have a fit if Gia turned off the phone for him. That's true. Shut it out.
Starting point is 00:04:49 But I would check my wife. I know how hard it is. Six kids? You still would have a fit if she turned her phone off for a date. Imagine calling your wife. Imagine how many times we call our wife a date and we can't get in touch with her for 24 hours. He don't respect his wife, so he got a lot of respect. I agree.
Starting point is 00:05:02 He doesn't have the respect. But she's speaking for her and you're speaking for you. So you respect respect your wife but that doesn't speak to how she feel about what you're presenting her so he could think he's respecting her and she may not feel it that's true but i voice that too because i do understand that communication is huge and i voice that and he'll be like well i just want this so i just want that and i'll be like Okay Like in the morning She'll wake me up And be like Well I want And I'll be like
Starting point is 00:05:27 Well I was just With our six month old Every hour last night Like I mean the hell Sorry See Respect is subjective though
Starting point is 00:05:36 I was gonna say that too Respect is subjective So I gotta know What her definition Of feeling disrespected is Right She just told us Right
Starting point is 00:05:43 You know what I'm saying So you might have Well but see That's But I'm saying? So you might have to... Well, but see, that's... But I'm specific. Like, especially... I catered a wedding. I had five other orders besides the wedding this weekend. And I was just exhausted.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Up every hour with the baby. You know? And he's off on the weekends, but he didn't get up and help me. But didn't want to try to wake me up and then get an attitude when I'm like, no, get out of my face. See?
Starting point is 00:06:06 You might just have to wake him up At 3 o'clock in the morning Sit on his face And be like how's it feel now That's what you might have to do But good luck Thank you That's not disrespectful Not to me
Starting point is 00:06:16 You know what I'm saying Man wants a fellatio in the morning Poor man Poor woman Been out with the baby all night I get it But that's not It might be inconsiderate, but it ain't disrespectful.
Starting point is 00:06:26 There we go. Inconsiderate, not disrespectful. Because it ain't disrespectful to go the other way. That's right. Go find something special. That's right. So it's like I'm bringing it to you. You're right.
Starting point is 00:06:35 It's real talk, dude. Hello, who's this? Good morning, how are you? Good, good, good. Get it off your chest, mama. I am really upset at my husband this morning because I had an accident on Friday and when he changed
Starting point is 00:06:48 up the car, he never carried over rentals. So now I'm having to freaking, like, get up early in the morning,
Starting point is 00:06:56 drop my kid off early and we're going to have to struggle all week because of his idiocy. Like, he's just, like... Damn.
Starting point is 00:07:04 It feels like everybody's mad at their husband this morning. Jesus. How do you do it? Like, how do you do it? How do you do it? Well, we can't really hear you because you're so upset that you're yelling, but all we can hear is that you're mad at your husband, something about a rental car, he didn't give it back, and now you have to do it, and you want to wild out on his ass.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I thought you said you got an accident. Yeah, thank you. That's what I thought. Well, yeah, no, I got into a car accident on Friday. It was my fault because I was rushing. But, like,
Starting point is 00:07:29 when he turned over, like, when we changed cars, he never put rents on. Like, how do you have seat cards on the insurance with no rentals? I don't know what to tell you. So, now I'm forced
Starting point is 00:07:38 to figure out how to get to work back and forth. We weren't opposite ways and opposite schedules. Oh, so he got the rental and you don't have ways and opposite schedules oh so he got he got the rental and you don't have one do y'all got no no no he never put rental on when he changed over car he never put rental i don't know what that means i i you know when you get into an accident and
Starting point is 00:07:56 you have rental insurance oh gotcha so you gotta pay for the car now so you're upset yeah and it's like me and it's like we gotta pay for the car now. Got you. Got you. So you're upset. Yeah. And it's like, we got to pay for summer camp. Like, they didn't cheat. Well, you shouldn't have gotten into an accident. We won't figure it out. No, you shouldn't have gotten into an accident, ma'am. It was your fault. You said that.
Starting point is 00:08:15 But you know what? OK, yeah, it was my fault. But however, this is why we have insurance. This is why we put options on there. What if somebody would have hit me? It sounds like both of y'all blaming each other for things that are out of y'all control and that's why yeah i mean they should have put you should have put insurance on your car but people do that because they'd be like i'm never gonna get an accident why i gotta pay this extra
Starting point is 00:08:34 that's for insurance and then same way you shouldn't have got into an accident he probably should have had insurance but there's no need for y'all to be pointing the finger at each other i understand that but like now our kids have to now our kids have to be up at 6 a.m. to go drop meals at work. That's not fair to them. You got to figure it out, though. That's life. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:08:49 You got to figure out how to pivot in life. So y'all arguing now? We ain't arguing. Have a good one, mama. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Get it off. This is your time to get it off your chest. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Oh, this is Ken.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Hey, what's up? Get it off your chest. Hey, I'm just part of the older generation expecting that the younger generation should retire the same age as them because i'm at work and i see these guys you know 60 something years old 60 something years old working and they old man i'm just like man i can't be that old when i retire well you know what they say well somebody told me back in the day retirement is not an age it's an income i don't even know if i believe that anymore because
Starting point is 00:09:45 there's people i know that make mad money but they just love what they do yeah a lot of people love to work and then a lot of people you know honestly don't know how to prepare for the future you also got to think you know this is the generation where we're starting to learn more about financial freedom so a lot of times uh you know the generation before us didn't actually know how to retire didn't know how to save so they can retire so some people still have to work that's why when you see sometimes when you when you go into those supermarkets and you go to those places and you see an older person working you got to give them patience and and help them out because sometimes they're there because they have to and they're just trying to you know get by like everybody else yeah and you know what
Starting point is 00:10:20 they say when you stop moving you know you start to die. Yeah. Some people want to keep moving. I guess that's maybe the profession I'm in, right? I'm an electrician. I'm in a tree out of Vegas right now. And, I mean, these guys just don't want to retire. They feel like if they retire, they're going to die. Yeah, I mean, that could be it, too. I mean.
Starting point is 00:10:41 And I'll be honest, I'd rather mess with an older electrician or an older mechanic or an older doctor because a lot of times they didn't seen everything. They didn't been through it. You don't feel like that about your president. Well. You don't feel like that about your president. I mean, listen. I feel like there should be an age cap on presidents just like they got time. If you ask me.
Starting point is 00:11:00 See, y'all want everything else age. You want your cognac age. Right. Your electrician age. But when it comes to your president, you don't want everything else aged. You want your cognac aged, your electrician aged. But when it comes to your president, you don't want no old president. Usually a mechanic or electrician, they've been through everything to see what works and what doesn't work. And a lot of this new generation, they rely on AI or computers to see what's wrong. I'd rather them tell me, but my president, he keep falling.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Your president definitely keeps falling. I told you how the president need a caregiver. Hello, who's this? Good morning I can hear you now Good morning, mama Get it off your chest Good morning

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.
Starting point is 00:13:51 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.

Starting point is 00:18:03 We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest co-host, Jess Hilarious here. Yes, indeed. And we got our special guest, Tyler Lepley. Good morning. What's up, y'all? Long way from ringside, my brother. Long way from ringside, man. Shout out to Russ Parr, dog. That's when I first met Charlemagne. Y'all know he's a good actor?
Starting point is 00:18:20 Who, Charlemagne? Yeah. That's a goddamn lie, man. You ain't never seen ringside? Classy. You ain't never seen him act? Should've won an Oscar. That's a goddamn lie. That's't never seen Ringside? You ain't never seen him act? Should've won an Oscar. That's a goddamn lie.
Starting point is 00:18:27 That's where I first met this man. I ain't gonna lie, dog. He showed up professional. He knew his lines. I mean, he had a few of them. Yeah, too many. He had a few. He had a couple scenes.
Starting point is 00:18:35 But I ain't gonna lie, bro. You really showed up and did your thing. He was a true professional. That's when I met him, like, I don't know, eight years ago. Now we gonna think he's Morris Chestnut. And things that came up for you. Now you think he's Morris Chestnut now. First of all, Morris Chestnut thinks that I'm him.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Yo, shut up. That's what he said. I didn't make this up. He started that. But things have been on the up since then for you, though, brother. Man, you know, it's always good to have a job. You know what I'm saying? Let's go back to the beginning for people that don't know who you are.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Young man from Philly. Had football dreams. High school to football. College to football. And then decided that football wasn't the key. Once upon a time. High school to football, college to football, and then decided that football wasn't the key to answer. Yeah. You know, a lot of times, like, you know, our losses can really be lessons if you've
Starting point is 00:19:11 got enough, you know, if you can really see it for what it is. So it's like, you know, I just always thought I was going to play, you know, football in the NFL and whatnot, like, since a little boy. Went all the way through Pop Warner, got a scholarship and whatnot. But it's like, you know, what I figured out is that it's not all about having a skill set. And this really crosses genres anyway. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:19:28 You got to know the right people. You got to have the right politics going on. And, you know, I had a couple of injuries. I was getting in a little bit of trouble. You know, I didn't end up making it. But, you know, in hindsight, it definitely was one of my biggest lessons. You were an Eagles fan? Oh, for sure.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Lee Graham. It was a tough loss. Congratulations. I'm a Cowboys fan. Congratulations. I'm a cowboy fan. Congratulations. What's up, man? So then a friend of y'all invited you to L.A. Blind?
Starting point is 00:19:54 Yeah, you know, it was very blind, but I had the blindfold on me already. So, like I said, I got in a little bit of trouble. Couldn't get a job. I couldn't really figure nothing out. I had two friends. They really like me. I call them cousins, but, you know, not by blood. Yeah. We black.
Starting point is 00:20:04 We understand. I got you. I got you. You know you know not by blood yeah but we black we understand you got his brother you know what I'm saying he's on the training now in LA mm-hmm yeah so they were they were you know anything about training? he's like well I football training so this is what I'm gonna do but the cats I'm talking about shout out to Leon and Leroy they were they were
Starting point is 00:20:19 boxers so I kind of just hanging around the gym finessed a job personal training so somebody came up and just asked me to audition. Super small role. I hope it never sees the light of day. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. It's not on TV? No, hell no.
Starting point is 00:20:31 It's called Super Slumber Horror Movie. Some crazy slumber party slaughter. You didn't even make TV. The more your star rise, it's going to come out. It's going to come out. Somebody's going to put it on Amazon. It's funny. One of the producers in the back is like, I think it's a porno.
Starting point is 00:20:44 I'm like, it's not a porno. And, you know, so I showed up. I did it. I booked it. And it wasn't enough, you know, a couple thousand dollars, but it was enough to kind of pique my interest. I had some natural skill set, but I wasn't, like, the best at it. So at that point, I started to, you know, apply myself.
Starting point is 00:20:57 You get the head shots and get into a class. You know, as things started going, you get deeper in it. You start doing the reading, getting into therapy and all the things that it takes to really sharpen this tool tool but it takes work how did the tyler perry thing they said that he actually walked in wearing his outfit as you were auditioning six foot six walking in how tall he is yeah he's like a basketball player walking through but um yeah so it was like that like, that was a long audition process. Maybe over the span of like four or five months.
Starting point is 00:21:30 You know, he was auditioning in a few different shows for like plenty of different roles at the same time. Yeah. So it's a, you know, it's like a gauntlet. You're going in for this role, this different TV show. And, you know, maybe like three or four auditions into it, we had like some type of callbacks. They brought us to Atlanta. And he was in the middle of shooting something while he was coming down to look at the auditions into it. We had like some type of callbacks. They brought us to Atlanta and he was in the middle of shooting something
Starting point is 00:21:46 while he was coming down to look at the auditions. And anybody that knows him, like he don't got no time for nothing. He's doing 12 things at once. You think he's Jamaican. He got 50 different jobs. So, you know, on his lunch break
Starting point is 00:21:55 from shooting something with Medea, he came in to check out what was going on. He went to dress up. That's kind of crazy. But it was just that, you know, it put into perspective how hard he works.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Right. And how much tunnel vision you need to really get done what you're trying to do in this business. And that was for the Haves and the Have-Nots, right? Yeah. Yes. A long time ago, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:12 And so when did you get P-Valley? P-Valley was probably like, we did nine seasons of the Haves and Have-Nots. I think we went off the air maybe in like 2020. We probably stopped filming maybe 2018, 2019. And I had booked it maybe like 2019. So for the last season of the have-nots in the first season of P-Valley we were shooting
Starting point is 00:22:28 them at the same time which was crazy because back then in the first season we shot on Tyler Perry Studios so like I was having a couple days that were crazy were like you know we would I would shoot a 10 hour 11 hour day over here you know 6 to 7 over here go take a shower and clock in 8 to 6 a.m. for P-Valley but it was just like and that's two different roles and two different scripts 6 to 7 over here go take a shower and clock in 8 to 6 a.m. for P-Valor but it was just like and that's two different roles and two different scripts
Starting point is 00:22:48 and two different whoa yeah it was it was definitely you know it definitely was difficult you know for those few days but these are the problems
Starting point is 00:22:55 that we ask for you know what I'm saying when you have time to do push-ups I don't do push-ups no more in between sets you know
Starting point is 00:23:04 yeah now ask you know you say you were playing football and this is a question that i ask every football player or anybody that's played football would you allow your child to play football especially because you had a bad back surgery so yeah for sure i had yeah knee surgeries like plenty concussions it's managed it's different nowadays you know with all the science and everything that we know so i would probably say i mean i want to i want to be a dream killer i'm gonna play you know i want all the science and everything that we know. So I would probably say, I mean, I don't want to be a dream killer. I'm going to play.

Starting point is 00:27:14 He was here this morning and he was talking about his relationship with his baby moms And their kids, and his new girl, or his new fiance I should say And their kid, let's listen to the audio miracle watts had said something about you know like she takes on your kids as her kids like how is that situation now because i know that april got mad at that she got mad at that how is that now though um you know it's it's it's a process you know it's like it's definitely better than it was yeah still got a little way to go as much as i would not like it to be like that you know i can't rush anything because this is you know again the problems of the man in the arena it just it
Starting point is 00:27:47 kind of happens like this the one thing i will say is that again that's that's the mother of two of my children you know i have nothing but love and respect for her so you know i give her grace and patience as she as she figures out what she got to feel herself through you know what i would want for somebody to treat my kid like that like my kid is theirs you know yeah it's an interesting conversation you know what i mean um because you know you gotta ask do you want someone to treat your kids like they're their own but also something else he said in there like do you treat your ex you know like you do your your new girl just to just to keep the peace now jess you gotta you this is this is your lane you know what i mean because i listen to you know of course you got
Starting point is 00:28:24 carefully reckless on the black effect but but you have carefully reckless discussions with your family. And you do a lot of conversations with your baby daddy. So do you feel like you want his new girl to treat your son like her own? All of my baby fathers, baby mothers, because that's a lot, if you will. They all treat my son amazing. I treat all of his kids amazing. Every relationship he's been in, and there's's a lot, if you will. They all treat my son amazing. I treat all of his kids amazing. Every relationship he's been in, and there's been a lot of them after me, nobody has ever mistreated my son.
Starting point is 00:28:52 I've never had an issue with any of Rome's girlfriends or none of that. Other baby mothers, just one. But she's never treated my child crazy. That was just something that we as mothers, as women or whatever. But no, it's never treated my child crazy. That was just something, you know, as mothers, as women or whatever. But, nah, it's never been that way. So do you want them to take a mother-type role or you just want them just to be cool? You don't got to take a mother. That's what they end up doing anyway.
Starting point is 00:29:14 But you don't have to take that. You don't have to be over-nerd. You know what I'm saying? Where it seems forced off. It's something that you just. Because he made it. My son's dad has been with a lot of girls who didn't have kids, so they didn't really even have experience
Starting point is 00:29:26 in being around kids, but they tried. They were just like, you don't really got to try to be his mother, but you have to, you have to like my child. My child got to like you too. But let me ask you, Jess,
Starting point is 00:29:38 so yeah, you know, when it's a younger child, they have to be motherly, right? But what is your son called? Is it like mom two is it like it'll never happen it'll never happen he better not ever call nobody else okay okay last day mom two three whatever no eight is I'm the first and only mom. He can call them Miss whatever because you got to put a handle on it.
Starting point is 00:30:09 I don't care how young the girl is, whatever. It's going to be Miss whatever her name is. Now, what about Tyler bought his Miracle or G-Wagon, right? And I asked him, just to keep the peace, do you do stuff like that for your other baby moms? Is that expected of a man? Because when you think about when people get divorced, you know, they got to make sure that their ex is set up the same way they're set up. I think they should.
Starting point is 00:30:31 You know? And I'm going to tell you why. Because you don't want your one kid to be driving in a G63 G-Wagon, and that's $180,000, and the other kid to be driving in a Ford Escort. What is wrong with Ford Escorts? Look, yo. Listen, man.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Why would you say that? Word up. You know how many people listen to nothing in Ford Escorts? Look, yo. Listen, man. Why would you say that? Word up. You know how many people listen to us in Ford Escorts? Say a Prius. Okay, a Prius. Priuses are amazing, too. I want one.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Nah. Not if my brother got a G63. That's what I'm saying. When I'm pulling up. Yeah. I get what you're saying. I'm pulling up in that. So, you're saying
Starting point is 00:31:00 you have to do that. If I got an ex and she got kids of mine, she got to be riding the same way my new woman is riding. No, I don't agree with that. I don't know what Envy is saying over there. But I don't think that. I don't think that.
Starting point is 00:31:13 I think whatever I do for my kids, all right, cool. I shouldn't have to be responsible for what you got going on after me. Like, I'm in a new relationship. My responsibility is my kids and me protecting. But the kids gonna still be in the prayers yeah that's what i'm saying the kids go your kids go as long as they not they in the back it's about the person driving you in the back so you good you don't got no bills you ain't got nothing to worry about you still on four wheels i'm not saying you gotta
Starting point is 00:31:36 have another a mercedes but give me something that the kids feel comfortable in and i'm making fun of listen we grew up different whatever but he didn't buy the kids a G-Wagon. He bought Miracle a G-Wagon. Yeah. The baby wasn't even in. But the baby going to be in the G-Wagon though. That baby don't know nothing about no G-Wagon. That's true.
Starting point is 00:31:53 It ain't that. Them kids know it. Like your son is in fifth grade. He knows the difference between a G-Wagon and a Prius. I'm telling you, my kids ain't. All right, y'all. Listen, I don't care. I said what I said.
Starting point is 00:32:04 That's it. All right, let's go to the phone line. Jess's son definitely knows the difference between a G-Wagon and a Prius. I know, that ain't the point. I gave that man $300 for his birthday. He didn't want that. No, shut up. I have a G-Wagon and I also have, I forgot
Starting point is 00:32:18 the name of, whatever my other Benz is. I got both of them, right? Watch out, that's tough. Shut up. But my baby father, he got a nice little accurate. You know what I'm saying? So we showing my son the best of both worlds. You know what I'm saying? Tyler, little kids, they going to know the best of both.
Starting point is 00:32:35 That's it. That's it. Man, he's so stupid. Hello, who's this? This is Shaquana. Hey, Shaquana. Hey, guys. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Guess what race she is. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know.

Hey, guys. Good morning. Yes! What? Right, she is! I know. I know. Y'all wanted to guess so bad, but she got me sounding like she mad. Hey, right? Shaquana. Shaquana. Good morning, Shaquana.
Starting point is 00:32:54 It's Shaquana. I'm just messing with you. Don't play with her. Don't play with her. Don't play with her. Don't play with her. What's your thoughts, mama? Honestly, I just want to weigh in and say it depends on how long you've been with the person
Starting point is 00:33:05 because i have an ex who would take our kids around his girlfriend he just met like a week ago and i feel that's something you shouldn't do but if you're serious with the person and you know you're you feel like you got a future with them i mean i see nothing wrong with it but on the standstill it is a lot of crazy people in the world and you got to be cautious a lot of people harming kids and doing crazy things to kids so that's where i'm with it like it's um you think you're gonna be with that person long term and you dating for a minute and you get to know each other you're talking about y'all kids okay but on your first date you're not taking their kids to chuck a cheese to play together because y'all both got kids i agree right i agree
Starting point is 00:33:43 i agree you can't be bringing anybody around your chair. Yeah, that's what she's saying. That's what she's saying. But I do believe that if I got kids and you got kids and we ain't got no babysitters, we want to see each other bad enough, yeah, let's meet up at Chuck E. Cheese's. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:34:03 Monica. Hey, Monica. Good morning. Good morning Good morning What's your thoughts mama My thoughts are I do not date with men I don't date men
Starting point is 00:34:11 With kids For that reason If I can't let my kids Go over to the other parents I don't feel comfortable Then it's not Like how am I gonna Feel comfortable
Starting point is 00:34:20 With my kids Going to See his other parents If I don't like Or get along With the other person Now is that better No But me ask you this monica is that because you better or is that because has he ever given you any type of like yo i'm gonna put my son in jeopardy or put my kid in jeopardy like is he that you got to know the other parents too are they ever gonna bring somebody
Starting point is 00:34:40 that you don't like around your kid that's gonna do something to your kid is that better or is that just how you feel no that's not better i think it's just that as a mother yeah i'm going to speak it from the mother point of view as a mother you have to feel comfortable if you're not comfortable with the man choosing the right mate it's not ever going to work so i would think that maybe me and the girl would have to talk i would be mature enough to be like let me talk to the girl and if I'm feeling her and I like her, then yeah,
Starting point is 00:35:07 it's a go. You can go. But listen, Jess. Yes? You must, and I'm talking about it, you have to stay the permanent co-host

Starting point is 00:35:57 You're not responsible for your ex. You're responsible for your kids. I think that's what that is. No, that makes sense. You're not responsible for your ex. You're responsible for your kids. You're not? Yeah, no that makes sense you're not responsible for your ex you're responsible for your kids you're not yeah you're not you're not responsible like my like i said my son's dad has five kids with five different women as after he moved on he take care of his
Starting point is 00:36:15 bomb father take care of his kids i don't try to support no more for none of them but no more yeah but he is not responsible for their mothers. Right. None of that. It's different in a marriage because the divorce, you got to settle. You get this, I get this, whatever. But like girlfriend, boyfriend, yo, if it's not about my child, yo, I'm in my relationship. But let me ask you this, Jess.
Starting point is 00:36:37 What's good? Let's say you move on and now that one child lives a different life than those other four kids. How do you think the other four kids will like you know i mean like yeah that one kid he gets you know he gets to go to the football games he gets to go to this because he's with the father all day long in that house don't you feel like all the kids should have that same love and that same feeling but that's what i'm saying what the ex got to do with that i'm gonna go pick my kid up and we're going you're mama take you with the rest of my kids But we're daddy It ain't I'm going to pick you
Starting point is 00:37:06 And the baby mother up And y'all No I'm picking my I'm going to get all my kids Together just like Rome do it Just like my son's dad does it He don't do nothing Without his other kids
Starting point is 00:37:15 Or if he got his girls It's girls day And boys Boys day Then he got days Where he get all of them So he does I don't know how Nick Cannon do it
Starting point is 00:37:22 But my baby father do it Do it Basically what Jess is saying She only buying McDonald's for her son. She ain't buying McDonald's for the rest of her own kids. Yo, what's next, yo? I don't got time. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?
Starting point is 00:37:37 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's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

So how do you spread the time with all the kids? Because your daughter might have dance, your son might have baseball, your other daughter got cheerleading, your other son
Starting point is 00:44:16 is swimming. But I spread the time because, you know, like I say in the book Help is on the Way. You need to help. I found a way. Well, God gave me a way to the way my life set up with social media. I'm able to film at home. So I'm able to make my money at home. So like my son, I got him an AU team.
Starting point is 00:44:32 I took off all July. I ain't doing no shows. My daughter, I got to go to her dance in June. But the way I make my money is always a way for everybody. You know, my way was I don't got to be on the road or gone all the time. I make my money at my house. Like I film all my skits at my house. So, you know, I'm able to be home a lot.
Starting point is 00:44:49 What made you want to go from comedian to memoir writer? How did you know you had a story to tell? Because, man, the thing I used to read books when I was in the streets, you know what I'm saying? I read Becoming a Millionaire God's Way, you know, 48 Laws of Power, Artist's Deduction was reading these books. And that's how you did it. Yeah. Art of Seduction. That's how you get 10 kids, right?
Starting point is 00:45:10 I love Robert Greene. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, I feel like, man, I know my story worked because I've used it even in the streets, but I used it when I used to go to banks with a 500 credit score.
Starting point is 00:45:19 I knew how to get that bank loan. You know, these things and lessons I just knew just from instincts. It worked for me even in the comedy game when I first, because I was one of the, bank loan you know there's these things and lessons i just knew just from instincts it worked for me even in the comedy game when i first uh because i was one of the i was the first social media guy they let go in the clubs and get them deals they wasn't letting us get them weekend deals but i knew how to get in it's just like so everything it was the og comedians like gary blocking y'all oh no they was getting that dude they was getting the deals but they didn't trust
Starting point is 00:45:42 those social media people because first of all it was you know, we ain't paid our dues, and I understand where they were coming from. And we ain't learned the game yet. You know, a lot of us ain't even have a set yet. So, but I knew how to maneuver everything. And I'm like, man, and I taught people around me, and it was working for them. So, I was like, the world need to feel my game of how this don't work for me since kindergarten. Gary, has the perception of the social media comedian changed uh see i don't i don't like the whole paying your dues because then you're
Starting point is 00:46:11 saying how dare you try to make a living is how i look at it like just because the way they can be famous is different it's better nowadays because when i started in the late 90s we were at the mercy of the quote-unquote machine we had to help a producer from comedy central or a network put our stuff on there these guys now they create their own fan base they're creating their own lane so how can you be mad at it i'm more like learn from it because at first i was like so what you're the first person i heard say you can make money off facebook i was like oh be clean he's right he did... Basically, he did what Tyler Perry did with the movies, because when Tyler Perry had the movies come out, they didn't account for those
Starting point is 00:46:49 black, over-30, church-going women that took the buses to the theater to go see his movie. Basically, he's doing with social media, is what he's saying. He's taking into account that audience. So I'm not mad at it. You ain't got no choice. Well, there's enough for everybody. He done won. He laying y'all down. I can be mad at it. I ain't got no choice. Well, there's enough for everybody. You know, one. All right, he laying y'all down.
Starting point is 00:47:06 I can be mad at it. I can be frustrated. You can't tell me how I'm going to feel. What are you talking about? No, Gary always shows love. I ain't going to lie, man. Me and Gary, there was a couple of them out there, but I didn't care. I was one of the ones.
Starting point is 00:47:18 I was waiting for somebody to try me. Yeah, yeah. Because I like Gary to say, bro, come on, man. We come from, most of us, you know what I'm saying, black, no disrespect, Gary, but you want us, you know what I mean? But we try to come from the bottom. Yeah, we making a living. I'm not a man.
Starting point is 00:47:30 How old was the population of your town growing up? Man, like 3,000. Mine was 7,000. Yeah, so I'm like, man, somebody, dude, comedian, Steve Brown called me. He was one of the ones I first started. Everybody I had a problem with, I called on the phone. Really? Don't play with me like that.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Like, I don't play like that, man. We all trying to make a living. So how would they have a problem with you? called on the phone. Really? Don't play with me like that. I don't play like that, man. We all trying to make a living. So how would they have a problem with you? They box you out where you can't? No, man. They all online to my social media people. Man, this is art. Man, you messing with people's money.
Starting point is 00:47:54 It's people I don't think good. But I'm never finna get online and say nothing about no artists. Because I'm missing, you know what I'm saying? That ain't my lane. Because them people eating. Them people got to feed kids. And coming from the streets, you respect that. At least I ain't my lane because them people eat and the people got to feed kids and coming from the streets you respect that
Starting point is 00:48:06 at least I ain't selling dope and I was selling dope the whole time so I went from the stage I mean selling dope to on the stage and this day I wasn't
Starting point is 00:48:13 I'm like man don't play I don't play who's some of the people you had to call that y'all might be cool now that you had to call and be like hey
Starting point is 00:48:17 Steve Brown was one of them I called him I was about to call somebody else you about to call somebody else now still to this day nah it was like
Starting point is 00:48:24 a couple years ago I was about to call somebody else i was looking for his number but another comedian d ray gave he said wayne i'm not gonna let you do that you know i called every comedian trying to get this certain comedian number oh d ray stopped you from doing he stopped me from doing okay okay you know what i'm saying what was the problem how do you try to hate without saying his name obviously no because he was online he was like somebody said this certain comedian it's funny and i blocked him so he was like i hope was like, somebody said this certain comedian is funny, and I blocked him. So he was like, I hope you ain't talking about Daisy Banks or Country Wayne. Then he was like, no, Daisy Banks cool.
Starting point is 00:48:50 I'm like, hold up. So I'm trying to call, bro, don't you ever. Just because I don't figure it out. Don't do that. Just ask me how to do it. I think a lot of it comes from just being the OG here. Is when they. Original Gary.
Starting point is 00:49:03 When they. When guys are doing it for a long time and just having broken over that threshold of selling a good amount of tickets, I think a lot of it, they get frustrated because now you've got the younger guys, the social media guys, and they're selling more tickets to them.
Starting point is 00:49:17 That's really what it comes down to, is they're frustrated. I guarantee you, whoever was upset with you is not selling as many tickets as you. Because you're never upset. When you're selling tickets, you ain't worry about nobody. That's right. That's the truth. And there's enough.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Let me tell you something. You're getting this game long enough. There's enough for everybody. Yes. You're in the same city as somebody. You're both selling tickets. Exactly. Why be upset?
Starting point is 00:49:38 A lot of that is just jealousy in the game, man. That's literally all. It is. But, man, I just feel like, man, you know, nobody ain't got time for that. But all the OG's who like Gary who was already doing their thing
Starting point is 00:49:48 Kevin Hart Cedric Entertainer everybody was showing love but it was the ones that quite ain't been in the game a long time and that's your fault
Starting point is 00:49:56 they can hate on Kevin Hart all they want but I tell everybody they be like Kevin Hart ain't that funny I'm like bro everybody gotta be real that special he dropped with
Starting point is 00:50:03 alright alright alright the way my bank account set up, everybody know that was one of the best classes in the last 10 years. Everybody try to ignore that special. And I'm like, bro, somebody who get that far, it's something they doing behind closed doors
Starting point is 00:50:16 and it's work. Not even closed doors, it's something that he doing on that stage that you may not connect with. Clearly, tens of millions of people are. Everybody connected with that special. I don't know how they forget it. Everybody remember that special.
Starting point is 00:50:26 That special changed the game. Wait until you see the next one. Kev never changed. That's the thing I think with Kev. He never changed. Kev has always been the same Kev from when we first met him. I think Kevin know that, too, when people say he ain't funny. I think he's so smart because me and him, when I talk to him,
Starting point is 00:50:41 people don't know how intelligent he is to get that far. It's an intelligence. Absolutely. He's so smart. He let people say that. But that special was, it was the relatable material of, you know, the way my bank account set up, his daddy going through the spelling bee. But that's the kind of stuff that works.
Starting point is 00:50:55 No disrespect, but good songwriters. We're still saying that now. We still saying the way my bank account set up. Man, come on, man. Stop hating, Gary. Yo, Kevin funny. What? He's smart smart I'm listening
Starting point is 00:51:06 no I'm just saying I'm just listening bro now granted I didn't think it was that good he's putting a little on it I'm just kidding
Starting point is 00:51:13 I'm talking about that special oh I ain't know I ain't gonna stand on my chest I ain't gonna stand on my chest or nothing like that
Starting point is 00:51:23 to me I don't love one like that not all of them. Just standing with my chest and nothing like that. No, all of them. To me, all of them. Stand with your chest, Gary. Not all of them, but that's special. I'm talking about that. That's special right there. You know what I mean? It was different. All right, we got more with Country Wayne.
Starting point is 00:51:34 When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest co-host, Gary Owens, with us. Jessalarius is here, but she wasn't here for the interview yesterday but we still kicking
Starting point is 00:51:48 him a country wayne you got a chapter in your book called the play of life yeah it's country way built for a relationship oh yeah i'm definitely built for a relationship how many at one time i'm really built for a monogamous relationship you know what i mean it's just that you know i don't worry about myself enough i tell the woman got to be ready you know what i'm saying because a lot of men a lot of women think they're in a position and i understand where they're coming from but men work certain men that work on themselves too and in certain women i just it got to be a certain woman who don't want the world because i never i don't care about the world so if we care about us i'm ready to be in a relationship and i've been in relationships all my life. You just confused me.
Starting point is 00:52:25 This is my first time. It's my confusion. That's what the play up is. I think I'm pregnant right now. You ain't about the world. You don't want the world. He said that's what the play up do. I'm 35 now, so I want a relationship.
Starting point is 00:52:42 The answer was no. I love relationships. Relationships are answer was no. I love relationships. Relationships are amazing. We know you love relationships. That's obvious. Yeah, but I love that woman. Because you being a committed one with one woman. Yeah, because you get more out of that relationship when that woman feel like you committed and
Starting point is 00:52:55 you committed to her. I don't believe you, countrywain. Yeah. You got to prove it. I've been in relationships, man. We know that. They didn't work out. I just left.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Oh, okay. Oh, anybody ever left me so what's the reason for you just a liar saying leave you no i said i let her say that because i you know i'm tired i'm gonna let people you know what i mean she got a brand but no i ain't i never got left in my life well why do you leave then well like what's the always the problem most of the time i'm ready to elevate spirit it's like are you gonna go on this journey with me because it's the world you know what i mean i'm not i don't really care about the world. You know what's going on out there.
Starting point is 00:53:28 I walk my own lane. It's like most people, you can feel it. It's like, I want to keep elevating and keep spiritually working on myself. And the person don't want to go with me. I got to keep going, man. I just, come on, man. I just fired my manager. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:53:39 I've done that with everything. Cause to get to certain, I got kids to get to certain things, man. You can't. The people behind you in the corner right now. Why would he say that? They're looking like Jesus Christ. Why'd you fire the manager? Huh? Why'd you fire the manager?
Starting point is 00:53:50 Because it was just, no, you know, ain't nothing to talk about on here. This thing wasn't working out. Man, I know when it's time to leave. That's the hardest thing to do. Yeah. Even in business. It's hard to be like, this ain't working, and I got to elevate. So either you come with me.
Starting point is 00:54:03 If I'm doing a podcast or radio show, and I talk to NBA and Char either you come with me. If I'm doing a podcast, a radio show, and I talk to India and Charlemagne, I'm listening 100%. I'm going wherever y'all taking me because y'all are professionals at this. So if I'm proving in my world where I come from,
Starting point is 00:54:15 like in my book, you know, my story, I'm like, when I'm in a relationship, I'm like, man, unless you got a better route, man, I got to go. So basically,
Starting point is 00:54:22 the manager didn't have a better route. Nah, nah, nah. In every relationship I had, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. You know, I'm going to keep rising. Another thing you're doing, the route man i gotta go so basically the manager didn't have a better route no no no and every relationship i had you know what i'm saying yeah you know i'm gonna keep rising another thing you doing or did that i love is you got a movie out on amazon prime strange love that you funded yourself yeah yeah i i think that's a great route to go but talk to the people why you went that route instead of getting the studio to produce because it ain't make sense i see everybody pitching stuff and i'm like bro everybody got millions of dollars, and we got the resources,
Starting point is 00:54:47 let's go. Shoot it yourself. Yeah, so I did it myself just to see, and it went up. You know what I'm saying? The money came back, and you know, it's like digital real estate.
Starting point is 00:54:55 I'm like, man, we own this content, because I seen what I did with the social media, a little skit. So I'm like, hold up, bro, I did this with three minutes skit.
Starting point is 00:55:02 You built an audience. So I'm like, that's how people been making the money. If you own that movie, bro, if you own 10 movies, if you spend $10 million, shoot 10 movies, you know what I'm saying, $1 million a piece, you own 10 movies. If the movie's on Amazon Prime or Tubi making $3,000 a day a piece, you know what I'm saying, you making $30,000 a day for the rest of your life.
Starting point is 00:55:21 And then sometimes it might spike up. You got to monetize off yourself first and let the game monetize whatever left. Let me ask a question because information is important. You don't got to put the number out there.
Starting point is 00:55:30 How much did you spend on the movie? I spent about a million. Okay, okay. You got that back already? Pretty much. You know what I'm saying? Pretty much.
Starting point is 00:55:38 And it's been out how long? It's only been out three months. Three months, yeah. And they're making money every day. Well, Amazon get half of it and they ain't even put it on Tubi yet.
Starting point is 00:55:47 You know what I'm saying? Because Tubi, that get an ad revenue and then you can license it we got a couple offers on the licensing situation on the movie already that I instantly gonna make a problem I'm being a prophet already but I can't go to tuba to after year after that if I take the deal so it's so many options and you own it and you own it forever go ahead country I feel like I'm slacking when you go do your next one with so many options and you own it. Man, you own it forever. Go ahead, country Wayne. That's right. Stop hating. I feel like I'm slacking. Stop hating, guy. When you gonna do your next one?
Starting point is 00:56:09 I'm trying to do it this fall because it's for the writer's strike in Hollywood. That's right. So everybody shut down. So I'm trying to, you know, I'm trying to take advantage and I'm gonna shoot
Starting point is 00:56:17 another movie called Dance Her. And the first movie, Strange Love, it didn't come from my mind. I just got in and I seen the script change a little bit.
Starting point is 00:56:23 But this movie is coming from my mind and I want to direct it I seen the script, changed a little bit. But this movie is coming from my mind. And I want to direct it because I just see the movie. So I'm definitely trying to shoot that this fall. You just did one more thing. Since Gary's so salty, I got to stick this one in. Country Wayne is filming a one-hour comedy special. Yeah. With Netflix.
Starting point is 00:56:40 I knew this was coming. I knew it. I knew it. Netflix, for whatever reason, won't give the great Gary Owens a comedy special. I don't want to give anything. Punchy Wayne is shooting his on May 12th. You ain't got a Netflix special? And watch to be seen.
Starting point is 00:56:52 And one of you guys from Netflix? No. All right. Just checking. You ain't got a Netflix special? No, they say no every time. He got great ones on Showtime, though. Oh, you got great ones on Showtime.
Starting point is 00:57:02 How does it feel to have a Netflix special? I got Hulu, Amazon Prime. You got Hulu, Amazon Prime? Okay. It feel good, man. That's really what I've been waiting on because I've been sneaking on that stage. It feels great, doesn't it? It feels great to be a black man because I'm going to pitch something.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Listen, Gary said he's about to go. Gary said he's about to claim racism. He's about to say they don't want to let no white men, no straight white men have a stand-up special. No, Jewish. Jewish show. Difference. Talking about circumcised white guys. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:57:36 We'll come up with crazy reasons why we can't get a special. No, no, no, no, no. He's under six foot. Left-handed, bro. Oh, man. Give's under six foot. Left-handed, bro. Oh, man. Give him some game, Country Wayne. How did it come about? No, man.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Did Netflix call you? No, it's some of the stuff I use in the book all my life. I just played it. You know, things happen, man. Things happen and the opportunity came up. You know, that's what I've been waiting on the whole time. Just waiting on that, huh? They've been calling him. what i've been waiting on the whole time you know just waiting on that they've been calling him how long you been waiting freaking internet comics hold on hey steve brown
Starting point is 00:58:13 i'm with him right now you know it's a lot of pressure though No, man, Steve my dog, now. I'm going to get in front of you. Shout out to Man Pettit, though. You know it's a lot of pressure, though, because this is the one people are going to be waiting to see. This is the one that he ain't going to get buckled. Man, I don't play on that stage. Where are you going to film it at?
Starting point is 00:58:35 Washington, D.C. You heard this one. That's great. Chocolate City. Nah, man, that's stand-up special. That's what I've been waiting on, because really that's what I was working on. That's why I wasn't on social media anymore.
Starting point is 00:58:43 Gary and I was on the road every weekend every weekend for years you know what i'm saying same thing i was doing on the road writing new material yeah i was rooting for you until you heard about the netflix questions i go hope we skip over that. Let's get back to you and Jess. What happened there? Oh, you broke up with her but you let her ride with it.
Starting point is 00:59:15 Oh, man. Why didn't you book me pictures? It's just all words. Why don't you take a picture of Netflix special and put it on there? I think you released the book too early.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Oh, man. But I'm happy for you. I am. I'm happy for you. Oh, boy. I hope it's top ten. And you got the Help Is On The Way comedy tour? Yeah, Help Is On The Way comedy tour, man.
Starting point is 00:59:41 We on tour right now. It ends in May. So the tour going great. You know, had to step out by myself in theaters. You know what I'm saying? That was a challenge.
Starting point is 00:59:50 What was your toughest market? Toughest market? Somebody like selling tickets-wise? Yeah. Like Denver, I only sold like 1,500 tickets. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:59:58 I bet you sold out in Denver, Hungary. Crushing. I'm like this. Places like Denver, you know what? Crushing. I'm like this. Places like Denver, you know what I'm saying? Gosh. I'm just kidding. This is a different way.
Starting point is 01:00:12 Now, Denver is a tough market. All right, we got more with Country Wayne. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest co-host, Gary Owens, with us.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Jess Hilarious is here, but she wasn't here for the interview yesterday. But we still kicking it with Country Wayne. guy we are the breakfast club we got our guest co-host gary owens with us uh jess hilarious is here but she wasn't here for the interview yesterday but we're still kicking it with country wayne i was gonna ask you you know out of your skits i got two questions what was the big skit that made you pop that made people realize that went viral and two what was the hardest skit to do it because sometimes you do it with different artists celebrities what was the hardest one to do with a celebrity let me see the first skit that popped me off when i did had to fake like i like a girlfriend cooking.
Starting point is 01:00:46 I only got like 2,000 off it but that was the one that made me go viral. And the hardest one to do probably was probably T. Bootsy was kind of hard
Starting point is 01:00:54 because I made it to his house before he made it up. So we was waiting on Bootsy. At his own house? At his own house. I seen everybody
Starting point is 01:01:01 but Bootsy. I seen his cousins and his homeboy and I don't know where Bootsy at, but T.I., we was in the hood, so that was pretty hard because we need to hurry up. He was late and we in the real hood because I did them both with my character, Drip. So, those
Starting point is 01:01:14 two were probably the hardest to do with a celebrity, but T.I. probably because the vibe we was in at the time. Listen, man, I just love to see where you come from. From social media to having a book out having your own movie on Amazon Netflix special taping I mean it's coming like that's it I mean that's that's impressive 10 years ago people was like ah man any guys on the internet ain't gonna be doing
Starting point is 01:01:37 nothing so they're not gonna be around the watch like you and Jess and DC and everything y'all doing that is incredible man absolutely yeah you know what I like about the New Generation guys is they work together a lot. Absolutely. With the sketches and everything else because you partner
Starting point is 01:01:52 with a bunch of people. That's right. Different sketches. You and Jess still do stuff together. Yeah, me and Jess, cool. Me and Jess ain't never, I think Jess respect that I'll never get on here
Starting point is 01:01:59 and talk negative about her. I let her talk negative about me because a woman gonna do that. Really? Yeah, a woman gonna do that. I never heard her talk negative about you. I let her talk negative about me. Because a woman going to do that. Really? Yeah, a woman going to do that. I never heard her talk negative about you. No, not negative, but she... You ever experienced that, Gary?
Starting point is 01:02:12 A couple times. She stressed the narrative. But no, man, as a woman, man, I don't respect. You know what I'm saying? Some men just cool. I think she just respected that. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:02:21 I'm never going to get on here and say nothing about no woman. Period. It's negative, man. Would you ever let an older comedian open up for you or something like that? Yeah. They cool with that. If they don't have a Netflix special. No, man.
Starting point is 01:02:34 That's so wrong, bro. No, bro. Me and Gary ever go into it. I wasn't even talking about Gary. Who said Gary? Damn, Gary. Damn, Gary. Damn, when people think no Netflix special, they think you, Gary?
Starting point is 01:02:43 No, it's crazy. Gary, Gary Orman, man. That's right. That's a legend. Gary Orman is a legend. Let's get Gary, man. When people think no Netflix special, they think you, Gary? No, it's crazy. Gary, Gary Warren, man. That's right. That's a legend. Gary Warren is a legend. Let's get Gary, man. You know, Gary, shoot, he the only one that go out there, new material. A lot of people don't do that.
Starting point is 01:02:54 Gary, Gary come out there and give you them new jokes. I get bored. Special after special and just, you know, Gary's a legend for real. Thanks for noticing that. Century Wayne, I wish somebody on Netflix would notice somebody writing. You really wanted that? What? You really wanted that?
Starting point is 01:03:09 What does that do? I don't know. I just never had one. I don't know what it would do. Charlamagne? What do you mean, what would it do? I don't know. Because I get told no.
Starting point is 01:03:19 All that Gary really needed. I think us from the internet needed more because nobody don't know whether we're funny or not unless the people came to see us yeah so it's like that's our like audition to the world but we got our fan base but now you got to see the world get to see and if you pop on Netflix man you can you finally get absolutely that thing you know that stand-up and you might bring in a whole new audience because there's people that go on Netflix just to see who's doing new stand-ups. Like, who's this country? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:03:46 That's the part. For me, I think Netflix would probably help the international market. Mm-hmm. Right now, I'm pretty much doing really great in the United States. I see the guys going overseas. I'm like, that's Netflix. Got you. Yeah, they're coming in.
Starting point is 01:04:00 They're Netflix different. You been overseas yet, Wayne? Oh, nah, nah. I've never been out of the country in my life. Never? I went to film ever? I went to film a TV show with Lisa Kudrow
Starting point is 01:04:08 and Taco Watiti excuse me? what was that last thing you said you said Taco Watiti? like we're just gonna let that slide huh? nobody's gonna question
Starting point is 01:04:20 who that is who the hell is Taco Watiti? does he have a Netflix special? or she? Taco Watiti he's he have a Netflix special? Or she? Taco Watiti, he's like the biggest director in the game right now. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:04:29 You're so stupid, Gary. Oh, my fault. I just screwed myself. I know him, and I do know him. I met him before. No, wait, wait, wait. What?
Starting point is 01:04:35 Oh, you said? He the man right now. Taco Watiti. I met him. Oh. He like, he like. My fault. I said Taco Watiti.
Starting point is 01:04:41 He Indian, right? Yeah, like, he like, he from, he from New Zealand. New Zealand, yeah. I met him, I met him, I met him before. I misheard that. Yeah, yeah, but he the Indian, right? Yeah, he from New Zealand. New Zealand, yeah. I met him before. I misheard that. Yeah, but he the man right now. Like, he got the game.
Starting point is 01:04:52 Oh, yeah, I know who you're talking about. He's cool with the president of Netflix. No, too late. No, it's too late. What are you talking about? I got Deion Taylor, baby. Nope. There you go.
Starting point is 01:04:58 I got Deion Taylor. There you go. Deion Taylor, baby. Scoot to Deion. Deion Taylor, my dog. Yeah. So how do you find time between touring and movies and writing books just to still have
Starting point is 01:05:06 a social life man cause you gotta have you gotta have material to draw off right I like to talk to people on the phone I got a lot of people that I just talk to
Starting point is 01:05:13 on the phone and really that's why I'm in a relationship cause I talk to a lot of women and I don't mean I'm even dealing with them it's just that conversation cause they help write my skits
Starting point is 01:05:21 but the reason why I got a lot of time cause I shoot 30 skits in one day you know what I'm saying so I really don't be this touring right now the reason why I got a lot of time is because I shoot 30 skits in one day. You know what I'm saying? So I really don't be... This touring right now, that's why I'm ready to go on tour.
Starting point is 01:05:28 That take up most of my time. But when I'm off tour, I shoot two months of videos in three days or four days. So I be having my time. I be getting that material. When you kicking with women, country women,

Afterwards Boyce allegedly asked the victim with the gun still pointed at her if she had a boyfriend and then asked if she would add him on Facebook. Court records show Boyce pointed out his profile to the victim and watched her add him saying
Starting point is 01:16:24 he would pay the money he stole back to her. He then fled the scene on a bicycle. The probable cause affidavit shows that same day the two exchanged Facebook messages. Boyce saying, look, just know I'm gonna pay you back. It's an expletive way to meet, but expletive. You is too pretty to rob. The victim replied, I believe you, man. I could tell you're sweet. Times just get rough. I know that. Boy sent more saying, I feel like a total expletive. I swear I got you. What's your cash app tag? Or you could send it when I'm ready. Then continued, for real, I'm expletive. We had to meet up on them terms. Come chill with me. I swear I'm not on that type of timing. The victim replied, I do have a man. You know I can't do that lol i wish you the best though jesus christ niggas is gonna neg okay i don't think y'all really understood the details to
Starting point is 01:17:11 this story i need y'all to listen to how the devil is working first off damien robbed this woman at gunpoint stole cash from her and forced her to send him a friend request on facebook putting a pistol to somebody and demanding a follow on facebook is what great key and pill sketches were made of. I mean, my God, if I was describing that to someone, you would think I was talking about an episode of Dave or Atlanta, but no, ladies and gentlemen, this is our real life. This is the society we currently live in. Okay. Most people love followers on social media.
Starting point is 01:17:39 The way fleece Johnson loves booty. Then not only did he demand a friend request at gunpoint he stood there and watched her adam he then told her i'm gonna pay you the money back before leaving the scene on a bike then started exchanging messages with her on facebook the trust that damien has in humanity is unmatched people like him make me not trust humans but he trusts humans enough to rob them and then exchange message with messages with them on facebook this man dame this man damien was talking to this woman the way i grew up talking to strippers you know you're too pretty to be doing this right damien told the young lady on facebook uh youtube youtube you too pretty to rob break yourself give me your goddamn number

He's trying to find ways to get you your money back. But you should feel offended that this man thinks he has a chance with you in the first place. All right. Even though he robbed you and took off on a bike. Not only is he financially handicapped, he doesn't even have a means of transportation. But he thinks he can get with you. This is proof that women can't even be nice to men without men thinking said woman wants to be with him. All right. Ladies, let the record show that if a man sees you looking at his story, can't even be nice to men without men thinking said woman wants to be with him all right ladies
Starting point is 01:19:25 let the record show that if a man sees you looking at his story if a man sees you glancing at him for any reason if you say hi to some of these men just breathe breathe in their direction they will believe that you want to start a whole family with them all right damien thinks this woman is returning his messages because she likes him no you idiot she's lining you up to get arrested and rightfully so but i have to give this young lady some credit because she likes him. No, you idiot. She's lining you up to get arrested, and rightfully so. But I have to give this young lady some credit because she did curb him. She said, I do have a man. You know I can't do that.

Starting point is 01:34:17 Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about Tyler Lepley. Tyler Lepley, excuse me. He was here this morning, and he was talking about his relationship with his baby moms and their kids and his new girl, or his new fiance, I should say, and their kid. Let's listen to the audio. Miracle Watts had said something about, you know, like she takes on your kids as her kids. Like, how's that situation now? Because I know that April got mad at that. She got mad at that. How is that now though? You know, it's a process. You know, it's like, it's definitely better than it was. It's still got a little way to to go as much as i would not like it to be like that you know i can't rush anything because this is you know again the problems of the man in the arena just it kind of
Starting point is 01:34:53 happens like this the one thing i will say is that again that's that's the mother of two of my children you know i have nothing but love and respect for her so you know i give her grace and patience as she as she figures out what she gotta feel herself through you know, I give her grace and patience as she figures out what she got to feel herself through. But I would want for somebody to treat my kid like my kid is theirs, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, for sure. It's an interesting conversation, you know what I mean? Because, you know, you got to ask, do you want someone to treat your kids like they're their own? But also, something else he said in there, like, do you treat your ex, you know, like you do your new girl just to keep the peace? Now, Jess, you got to, this is your lane, you know like you do your your new girl just to just to keep the peace now jess you gotta
Starting point is 01:35:26 you this is this is your lane you know what i mean because i listen to you know of course you got carefully reckless on the black effect but you have a carefully reckless discussions yeah with your family and you do a lot of conversations with your baby daddy so do you feel like you want his new girl to treat your son like well listen all of my baby fathers, baby mothers, because that's a lot, if you will, they all treat my son amazing. I treat all of his kids amazing. Every relationship he's been in, and there's been a lot of them after me, nobody has ever mistreated my son.
Starting point is 01:35:57 I've never had an issue with any of Rome's girlfriends or none of that. Like, other baby mothers, just one. But she's never treated my child crazy. girlfriends are none of that like other baby mothers just one but but even but she's never treated my child crazy that was just something you know that we as mothers as women or whatever but nah it's never been that way so do you want them to take a mother type role or you just want them just to be cool you don't gotta take them up they that's what they end up doing anyway but you don't have to take that you don't have to be over nurture like you know I'm saying where
Starting point is 01:36:24 it seems for so if it is something that you just, cause he made it. My, my son's dad has been with a lot of girls who didn't have kids. So they didn't really even have experience in being around kids, but they tried. They were just like, you don't really gotta try to be his mother,
Starting point is 01:36:37 but you have to, you have to like my child. My child gotta like you too. but let me ask you, Jess. So yeah, you know, when it's
Starting point is 01:36:45 a younger child they have to be motherly right but what is what is your son call him is it like mom two is it like it'll never happen it'll never happen he better not ever call nobody else no mom not not mom two okay okay last day all right yeah mom i don't care mom two three whatever no eight is i'm the first and only mom he can call them miss whatever because you got to put a handle on it i don't care how young the girl whatever is gonna be miss whatever her name is now now what about uh you know tyler bought his miracle or g wagon right and i asked him like you, just to keep the peace, do you do stuff like that for your other baby moms? Is that expected of a man?
Starting point is 01:37:29 Because when you think about when people get divorced, you know, they got to make sure that their ex is set up the same way they're set up. I think they should. You know?
Starting point is 01:37:36 And I'm going to tell you why. Because you don't want your one kid to be driving in a G63 G-Wagon and that's $180,000 and the other kid to be driving in a Ford Escort. What is wrong
Starting point is 01:37:46 with Ford Escorts? Look, yo. Listen, man. Why would you say that? Word up. You know if you're listening to this in Ford Escorts?
Starting point is 01:37:53 Say a Prius. Okay, a Prius. Priuses are amazing too. I want one. Nah. Not if my brother got a G63. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:38:01 When I'm pulling up. Yeah. I get what you're saying. I'm pulling up in that. So you're saying you have to do that. If I got an ex and she got kids of mine, she got to be riding the same way my new woman is riding. No, I don't agree with that.
Starting point is 01:38:12 I don't know what Envy is saying over there, but I don't think that. I don't think that. I think whatever I do for my kids, all right, cool. I shouldn't have to be responsible for what you got going on after me. Like, I'm in a new relationship. My responsibility is my kids and me protecting. But the kids going to still be in the Prius. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:38:32 The kids going to be in the Prius. As long as they not driving, they in the back. It's about the Prius driving. You in the back, so you good. You don't got no bills. You ain't got nothing to worry about. You still on four wheels. I'm not saying you got to have another Mercedes,
Starting point is 01:38:43 but give me something that the kids feel comfortable in and I'm making fun of. Listen, we grew up different, whatever. But he didn't buy the kids a G-Wagon. He bought Miracle a G-Wagon. The baby wasn't even here. But the baby going to be in the G-Wagon though. That baby don't know nothing about no G-Wagon.
Starting point is 01:38:57 That's true. It ain't that. Them kids know it. Like your son is in fifth grade. He knows the difference between a G-Wagon and a Prius. I'm telling you, my kids ain't. All right, yo. Listen, I don't care.
Starting point is 01:39:08 I said what I said. That's it. All right, let's go to the phone line. Your son definitely knows the difference between a G-Wagon and a Prius. I know, that ain't the point. I gave that man $300 for his birthday. He ain't want that. No, shut up.
Starting point is 01:39:19 I have a G-Wagon, and I also have, I forgot the name of whatever my other Benz is. I got both of them, right? Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. But my baby father, he got a nice little Acura. You know what I'm saying? So we showing my son the best of both worlds.
Starting point is 01:39:36 You know what I'm saying? Tyler, little kids, they going to know the best of both. That's it. That's it. Man, he's so stupid. Hello, who's this? This is Shaquana Hey Shaquana
Starting point is 01:39:47 Hey guys Good morning Guess what Rayce is I knew it I knew y'all wanted to Guess so bad But she got me
Starting point is 01:39:54 Sounding like she mad I ain't trying to Play with Shaquana Shaquana Good morning Shaquana It's Shaquana I'm just messing with you Don't play with her
Starting point is 01:40:02 Don't play with her Don't play with her What's your thoughts mama Honestly I just just messing with you. Don't play with her. Don't play with her. Don't play with her. Don't play with her. What's your thoughts, mama? Honestly, I just want to weigh in and say it depends on how long you've been with the person. Because I have an ex who would take our kids around his girlfriend he just met like a week ago. And I feel that's something you shouldn't do. But if you're serious with the person and you feel like you've got a future with them, I mean, I see nothing wrong with it. But on the standstill, there's a lot of crazy people in the world. And you got a future with them. I mean, I see nothing wrong with it, but on the standstill,
Starting point is 01:40:25 there's a lot of crazy people in the world. And you got to be cautious. A lot of people harming kids and doing crazy things to kids. So that's where I'm with it. Like if you think you're going to be with that person long term and you dating for a minute and you get to know each other,
Starting point is 01:40:38 you're talking about y'all kids, okay. But on your first date, you're not taking the kids to Chuck E. Cheese to play together because y'all both got kids to Chuck E. Cheese to play together because y'all both got kids. I agree. Right. I agree.
Starting point is 01:40:49 I agree. You can't be bringing anybody around your chair. Yeah, that's what she's saying. That's what she's saying. But I do believe that if I got kids and you got kids and we ain't got no babysitters, we want to see each other bad enough. Yeah, let's meet up at Chuck E. Cheese's. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 01:41:08 Monica. Hey, Monica. Good morning. Good morning. What's your thoughts, mama? My thoughts are I do not date with men. I don't date men with kids. If I can't let my kids go over to the other parents, I don't feel
Starting point is 01:41:22 comfortable, then it's not. Like, how am I going to feel comfortable with my kid going to to the other parent i don't feel comfortable then it's not like how am i going to feel comfortable with my kid going to see his other parent if i don't like or get along with the other person now is that better but let me ask you this monica is that because you better or is that because he ever given you any type of like yo i'm gonna put my son in jeopardy or put my kid in jeopardy like you see that you got to know the other parents too are they ever going to bring somebody that you don't like around your kid that's going to do something to your kid?
Starting point is 01:41:48 Is that bitter or is that just how you feel? No, that's not bitter. I think it's just that as a mother, I'm going to speak it from the mother point of view. As a mother, you have to feel comfortable. If you're not comfortable with the man choosing the right mate, it's not ever going to work. So I would think that maybe me and the girl would have to talk. I would be mature enough to be like,
Starting point is 01:42:08 let me talk to the girl. And if I'm feeling her and I like her, then yeah, you can go for it. But listen, Jess. Yes. You must, and I'm talking about it, you have to stay the permanent co-host on this show. I've been crying all week.

Starting point is 01:42:48 it'll be sweatsuits within two months. It's all right. So what's the moral of the story? What is the moral of the story? Jessica, you've been co-parenting very well for a pretty long time now.
Starting point is 01:43:00 You do not. I don't think you have to. You're not responsible for your ex. You're responsible for your kids. I think that's what that is. Oh, that's real. No, think you have to you're not responsible for your ex you're responsible for your kids i think that's what that is no that makes sense you're not responsible for your ex you're responsible for your kids you're not yeah you're not you're not responsible like my like i said my son's dad has five kids with five different women as after he moved on he take care of his

Starting point is 01:43:38 yo if it's not about my child yo I'm in my relationship but let me ask you this Jess what's good let's say you move on and now that one child lives a different life than those other four kids. How do you think the other four kids will feel?
Starting point is 01:43:50 You know what I mean? Yeah. That one kid, he gets to go to the football games. He gets to go to this because he's with the father all day long in that house. Don't you feel like all the kids should have that same love and that same feeling? But that's what I'm saying. What the ex got to do with that? I'm going to go kid up and we're going you're mama take you with the rest of my kids well we were daddy it ain't i'm gonna pick you and the baby mother up and y'all and
