Starting point is 00:01:45 Watch Breakfast Club, bitch. The voice of the culture. People watch The Breakfast Club for light news and really be tuned in. It's one of my favorite shows to do. Just because y'all always keep it 100, y'all keep it real. They might not watch the news, but they're on Twitter. They're on Facebook. They're, you know, they're listening to The Breakfast Club. Get your ass up.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, how you doing, DJ Envy? What's up, bro? Okay, deep voice. Good morning, Angela Yee.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Good morning. Peace, my brother. What's happening? Get it off your chest, bro. Talk to me. I was just saying good morning. I wanted to give a shout out to my fiance. What's happening? Get it off your chest, bro. Talk to me. Okay, Beyonce. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:34 You sound like you could cut a mean macaroni and cheese commercial. Remember the mac and cheese guy? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I remember. He sound like the guy from the commercial No, My Brother. You gotta get y'all own. Do the Bernie Mac again. I remember the Bernie Mac.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Right. Hey, mother f***er, homie. Hello, mother f***er. Hi, brother man. Can you do it without cursing? Oh, my gosh. Bernie Mac, he used to curse.
Starting point is 00:02:59 I know, but... It's hard to do that. Nobody's gonna hear him. I gotta check out my podcast, Convicted Conversations. I go around and talk to other fellas about, you know, what they did, the land and the jail and what they're doing now. A lot of these guys are opening up their own businesses. They're managers at different companies, but they didn't let that felon keep them down.
Starting point is 00:03:18 You feel me? I like that. They're moving forward and they're doing a lot of good, positive stuff. I like that. I love it. forward and they're doing a lot of good positive stuff. I like that idea. I even got y'all on there with Bernie Sanders talking about felons and prison reform and that's what I'm moving forward
Starting point is 00:03:32 to down in Hallandale, Hollywood. A lot of their areas. I like that idea, but can I ask you a question? Does it matter to you what they were convicted of? Are there certain people you're like, eh? Oh, no. It doesn't matter. As long as they have a felony and they're doing something positive. Now, if they have a felony and they're still in the game or whatever, it's like, no, I don't want to talk to them. But if they're doing
Starting point is 00:03:53 something positive and they're helping people, and like I said, they started a business, no matter what they did to go to jail, as long as they change their lives, I can help them. I'm even talking to a guy right now called Dexter Gunn. He's getting ready to take a few busloads of people up to Tallahassee on the 12th and the 13th to talk to legislation about amendment 4 and moving forward with guys that do have felony convictions. That's dope. That's dope, bro.
Starting point is 00:04:20 I love that. That's great. You can't even find it with a state. They have something called no felony ever. No matter how long ago it was, it could be 20, 30 years ago. If you have a felony, you cannot live here. That's real. That's why, I mean, everything you're doing is all part of prison reform at the end of the day.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Absolutely. Sometimes we have to do what our government is not doing, reforming our people, you know? Well, hello, who's this? Dustin Miles from North Carolina. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Hey, I wanted to talk to Charlamagne and maybe try to eliminate some of that stigma he has towards mayonnaise individuals.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Talk to me, sir. Oh, Lord. Hey, man, let me just rap for you real quick before you cut me off. Wait a second. Go ahead. Okay. East Coast, Carolina.

Money make me keep foot in you. Call me Tar Heel. You couldn't let white heart reel. I fight, spark, kill. Skin like an angel. Strength like a slave.
Starting point is 00:05:15 I mangled you. You better behave. I dangle my cash in front of your face. Seen for the Benjamins, whatever it takes. He made it. We never seem fake. Leave you in the woods, floating in the lakes. Asking those friends, that's the keepsake,
Starting point is 00:05:28 need them again. That's it. That's it. That was a good little turn, you know what I'm saying? But it still was whack. Okay, I appreciate it then, man. I'm going to go ahead and fart all over those. You know what I'm saying? At least he was appreciative. I appreciate how he got that in,

I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country?
Starting point is 00:06:22 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:08:31 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. you're trying your best and you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing alicia keys like
Starting point is 00:08:45 you've never heard her before listen to on purpose with jay shetty on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts this is your time to get it off your chest whether you're mad or blessed so you better have the same energy we We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hi, my name is Kirstie. Hey, Kirstie. Get it off your chest. Oh, my God. Okay, so first of all, I love you guys, and I love this show.
Starting point is 00:09:13 I listen to it every morning. But I just wanted to let you guys know that I sent you guys my song about a few times, and nobody responded back, and I definitely wanted you to check it out. It's in your DMs on Instagram. Okay, we got to look at it. It's in our DMs on Instagram. Okay, we got to look at it. It's in our DM. What's your name on there? Kersi. K-U-R-C-Y. It's underscore K-U-R-C-Y
Starting point is 00:09:32 underscore. Thank you, Kersi. Monica! Hey, guys. Hey, breakfast. Hey, Monica. What's happening? Good morning. Get it off your chest. Listen. Would you have seen a guy who was making minimal wages, but everything is good with him, meaning that
Starting point is 00:09:48 sex is good, his conversation is good, energy is good. He just don't have a lot of money. But where does he work at? He works in security. Okay. Security is a good job. How old is he? He's in his
Starting point is 00:10:03 early 40s. But I just don't, like, it's just that when we out, I'm paying half the bill. You know, like, he just doesn't. This is how you know girls don't really be wanting love. Y'all don't really be wanting love like y'all say y'all do. Because you said this man is cool. He got everything else. But you worried about how much money he make.
Starting point is 00:10:21 This is how I know y'all really don't be wanting love. You need to stop lying to yourself. I'm just trying to figure it out. Would you say something like that? Well, you are, and you're happy. The only thing you're not happy about is having to pay for stuff all the time. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:10:36 That's not the only thing. But if you're coming short all the time, will that become an issue later in life? That's what my concern is. As long as he's not making more money, it's going to always be an issue. I think the concern is more about his aspirations and what is it that he wants to do for himself, right?
Starting point is 00:10:52 Look, my goal is pushing him to do better or pushing him to even look for a better job. He may be content with what he's doing, and that's the problem right now. Okay, so you don't... He's okay with making his minimum wage, and I'm looking like a bigger picture. Have you had the conversation
Starting point is 00:11:06 with him? Of course. And what'd he say? I mean, no, you can't force no one to do something if they don't have the willing and willpower to do it themselves.
Starting point is 00:11:14 You can tell them all day long. Yeah, he probably don't have the aspiration. To do better and look for better, but if they're not pushing to do it,
Starting point is 00:11:21 then you're like talking to a ball. But are you willing to lose love over some money? That's the dilemma. Oh, my God. I know.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Like, I'm thinking long-term, though. I'm not, like, you, when you're of age, you don't want to freaking, you're not dating just to be dating. You're thinking, like,
Starting point is 00:11:38 this needs to be a husband material, not a little boyfriend. And I will say, it's not just about the money. It's about his motivations in life, right? So that's my thing.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Like, if I don't see that you're eager to do better, then how can I see the long term in you? If I see that you can sit with a mediocre job that's making $10,000, $12,000 an hour, and you're not pushing for greatness, like, how is that? And that's more what the issue is. I don't want to go further with that.
Starting point is 00:12:03 That's my thing. You do realize most Americans want a better job, right? Most Americans want a career. A lot of those things aren't available. Yeah, but if he's not trying, that's really an issue. When people are motivated, they're trying, they're going hard. I can tell you all day long to go
Starting point is 00:12:17 apply every day for a job. I can tell you all day long. Yeah, but that's the thing. He might not be motivated by money. He might just enjoy life. He might not want to work as hard and work harder. He likes his job. He likes the money that he gets, and he loves you. I don't see the problem with it. How about Americans want jobs, but not low-paying hourly work
Starting point is 00:12:34 when a lot of jobs aren't available? I understand all that. I truly do. But you're looking at long-term, like, mortgages and bills and stuff that need to be paid. She got goals in life. And you work hard. I work a pretty decent job.
Starting point is 00:12:51 So, if anything, I'm looking like if I stay in this situation, I'm going to be fronting most of the darn bills. So, it shouldn't matter. You know what? I ain't going to front it. The money shouldn't matter if you love somebody. Because then what? You leave this dude and you find somebody that makes a bunch of money he cheats on you
Starting point is 00:13:06 he doesn't treat you right but yet he pays the most of the bills. I hope you get laid off. I hope you get laid off and then you'll understand what love is. Tell me that's so mean.
Starting point is 00:13:16 I hope you get laid off and all he got is that little minimum wage job. All right. And then you'll really appreciate that love and what he brings to the table. But we can't tell her
Starting point is 00:13:24 where her priorities should be in a relationship. If it's important to her to have somebody. He always finds trouble with somebody. He always causes trouble. No, I hope I don't get laid off. But I hope he finds a better job. Yes, there you go. She wants him to get motivated.
Starting point is 00:13:37 All right. He might be motivated. He might just enjoy what he's doing. Love you more. All right, thank you. All right, we got more coming up next. We're The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlemagne Tha God, Angela Yee. We got a special guest in the building. My man, one of the sharks from the shark tank, amongst other things, Damon John. Thank you. What's happening, brother?
Starting point is 00:14:03 I'm blessed, man. God is good. How'd you spend the first 90 minutes of your day today? The first 90 minutes of my day today? Praying. Okay. Yeah, meditating.
Starting point is 00:14:11 You always say the first 90 minutes is the most important. Yeah, absolutely. Praying and meditating, getting myself ready for the rest of the week. So you keep your phones off and everything?
Starting point is 00:14:19 You don't touch nothing? Yeah, no, I don't touch nothing. Uh-uh. Not the first, really first hour. Not the first 90 minutes, but the first hour. Do you get a drink of water or something?
Starting point is 00:14:26 Anything? Yeah, well, I already have water by my bed, so I'm drinking it all night. I sleep with water next to my bed, too. Yeah, yeah. Because every time I wake up, I feel partially warm. Well, I like to go to little swell bottles or something and keep it cold all night, so it's nice and chilly. Oh, that must have been on the show.
Starting point is 00:14:39 So you read daily affirmations, too? Yep, I read them before I go to bed and every morning when I wake up. That's interesting, because you're the person that people run to for affirmations too? Yep, I read them before I go to bed and every morning when I wake up. That's interesting because you're the person that people run to for affirmations. So who does Damon John go to for affirmations? Well, first of all, I read affirmations, but I read more like goal setting before I go to bed at night. Because they say 80% of the time that you're sleeping, you're thinking about either what you want to accomplish when you wake up or what you fear when you wake up. So if you're reading things either what you want to accomplish when you wake up or what you fear when you wake up.
Starting point is 00:15:06 So if you're reading things about how you want to be healthy or how much paper you want to make or how you want to spend more time with your family before you go to bed, those are the things you're going to dream about. And if you read them again when you wake up, which I said is the praying and or the meditating, you're going to take one action towards each one of those goals most likely. And before you know it, they'll compound over the course of six months or whatever the case is. So those goals that I set, I reset them every six months. This is interesting because every time I see you, the first thing I always think about is FUBU. And then I think about Shark Tank. And now you have this album that's coming out. Visualize.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Visualize. It's more like spoken word. Okay. I call Chris Brown to be on it, and he gave me, because you're not a tight wheel, he gave me his answering machine to his guest house,
Starting point is 00:15:51 and he didn't call me, so I think that he decided to put out an album at the same time. You know what I'm saying? Because he just knew all the traction was going to be there that day. Yeah. Why an album, though?
Starting point is 00:16:01 You know, because I was driving down the street one day, and I think it was MLK Day, and I was listening to obviously one of the greatest speeches that was ever, ever written and or performed, and it was by Dr. Martin Luther King. I had a dream. Yeah, and somebody threw a beat to it,
Starting point is 00:16:15 and I was like, man, I want to work out to this. I want to go to the gym. I want to listen to this. So when you see my speeches, you know, I have obviously a lot of speeches. I'm out there on the circuit. You hear it one time, you've heard it enough. But one of my young cats named Noble, producer, said,
Starting point is 00:16:29 let me just put some music underneath these things because somebody wants to listen to this thing and work out and make that day about them. It ain't talking about smacking chicks and this and that. It's talking about what's in a few goal settings. It's talking about visualize. It's talking about being a boss. And they want to get ready to go to work or be on the subway or drive in their car on the treadmill.
Starting point is 00:16:49 So I said, all right, we'll just do it. You know, because, you know, you got this rhythmic thing to this. It's hooked by other people and things of that nature. And then we decided to put it out. It started to grow. It started to grow. People started requesting it. And it's out.
Starting point is 00:17:00 And it got Fat Man Scoop on one of them. So you got Wallow all over it? We got Wallow all over it. Yeah, Wallow. And it's got Fat Man Scoop on one of them. So you got Wallo all over it? We got Wallo all over it. Yeah, Wallo. And it's doing well. A lot of people are downloading and talking about it. So I felt good about it. What about Wallo did you gravitate towards?
Starting point is 00:17:14 So if you don't know him, Wallo was 267, I think. Wallo 267. 267. Sleuth to Wallo. Young man. I mean, I go down the street with him in Philly, and a lot of people holler at me. But this dude's a superstar. And he came home after doing his time.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I think he did like 20, right? I think he did like 20 years. And he's just the energy. He's the street. You'll see him. He'll run across a busy highway, and he'll just start yelling at the camera. But he's saying it in a way that a lot of the young brothers and sisters, when I talk out there, I don't get in your ass like that he just really just says it in a real
Starting point is 00:17:47 real way and a lot of people resonated with him he is energy he's the streets and they look at it like he's been through I mean dude dude dude put in whatever 10 or 20 years and he came out and you know he got probably more followers than I do you know and but people resonate with him and I just think there's so many people in the streets don't realize I ain't gonna come to your house and take you off the couch and say I'm gonna make you rich you know you gotta you gotta go out and get it that's why I watch Shark Tank because as an entrepreneur I think anybody who's starting a business should watch that show because it's helped me
Starting point is 00:18:16 out a lot as far as when I have to pitch my business to you know get new clients and things like that I pay attention so much to how people go in there and sometimes they're not prepared yeah so I pay attention so much to how people go in there, and sometimes they're not prepared. Yeah. So I pay attention to that, how important numbers are, because at the end of the day, when you're partnering with somebody, it's not just an emotional thing. It's also, okay, how am I going to make some money off of this?
Starting point is 00:18:36 It might be a great idea, and it might be something that's beneficial, but is it lucrative? Yeah. What's your objective? Is there going to be an exit? Who's your customer? Does your customer pay $79 for this or $99 for this? Where do your customer live?
Starting point is 00:18:48 Why do they resonate with you? And you know what? We learn, too. Because if I wasn't on Shark Tank, I'd have been doing business the same way that I was doing business 20 years ago. I'd have been making a shirt. Hopefully Macy's buys it, and I don't know who walks by and purchases it or not. And I don't even know where the person is. Right?
Starting point is 00:19:03 So I learn from all the young people coming up on Shark Tank as well because as anybody in business, you've got to constantly learn. I mean, the dynamic of business is changing every single day. Right. It's frustrating to me too sometimes when I watch it because I'll be like, that's a great idea when they're pitching, and then y'all all will be like, I'm out. You know, a lot of times we're out because of the person.
Starting point is 00:19:25 We don't like the person. See, a lot of times we're out because of the person. We don't like the person. See, a lot of people want to have this great business idea, but if we don't like you, so whether you go in today and you're going to get a job somewhere or you're going to get an investment, can I stand sitting next to you for eight hours a day, five days a week for maybe the next five years of my life? If I don't like you, it's not going to work. That's a great point, and I think people will look at you and be like, well, that's because you already got money and you got the wisdom. But, no, I think even when you're young and you don't have it,
Starting point is 00:19:53 I think character matters more than whatever that idea is. A hundred percent. Listen, you can be the geek all you want, but I don't need to sit next to you. I'll just give you as a virtual assistant. I don't ever need to talk to you. But as being a problem solver, you want to walk in the room. We all know people who walk in the room and they always got a problem. Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Right. And we also know other people come in the room, they always smile and they're always trying to tell you, yo, here's how we're going to figure this thing out. And those are the people that you want to be around, whether you are employing them or you want to have an investment with them. All right. We got more with Damon Jones when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 00:23:37 words we said, they dictate our life. So what are the top five words you use on a daily basis to maintain a positive mindset? I wouldn't know if it's top five, but I'm a daily basis to maintain a positive mindset? I wouldn't know if it's top five, but I'm using the words love. I'm using the word power, excel, grow, scale, money, family, health. Invest. Wisdom, invest.
Starting point is 00:23:57 It's true. If there's 100,000 words in the English language and we only use around 5,000 to 7,000 of them, if every one of them is can't, won't, or nobody loves us, can't get it done, then nobody's going to love you. Absolutely. Now, you also have a song about haters on the album. Yeah, absolutely. You feel like you have haters still at this point in time in your life?
Starting point is 00:24:13 100%. Mark Cuban. He hates me. You know what I'm saying? Mark Cuban really hates you? Mark Cuban hates me because he always says he's the luckiest man on the planet. And he always says,
Starting point is 00:24:23 somebody's got to be the luckiest man. Glad it's him, but he knows it's me, man. I don't believe in luck. You don't believe in luck. You're right because it is. It's desire and opportunity meets drive. Mark hates me, man. He got all this paper and he's just living alone in a
Starting point is 00:24:37 big old house. Well, he was family. Me, I'm young and I'm sexy and black. You know what I'm saying? I got one one-tenth, one-tenth, one-tenth of his paper, but it doesn't matter. He hates me. So you've never been to Denae's house, I'm assuming. No, I have, I have, I have. But of course you have haters, man.
Starting point is 00:24:53 You know, listen, you have haters who, people who, you know, who've seen you go from career here to career there to career here, and they say, well, how does it keep happening? You know, or they, you know, they see you out there and they go, ah, you know what, FUBU's never going to happen again. COOGIE's never going to happen again. Oh, wait a minute. Now you got Shark Tank.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Now you got this. Now you got that. You know, they just don't understand. And you also say that the person they hate on in the streets is the person you need to fuck with. Yeah. Why is that? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Because I tend to do that. Well, it all depends. Let's say, obviously, they're hating on somebody because they've done some crazy stuff to them. We're not talking about that. But, you know, the nasty hater cats, when they're hating on somebody, they're hating on them because that person's making moves. It's jealousy. It is jealousy.
Starting point is 00:25:36 You know how they call everything little? I see you in your little house, your little chick. You know what I'm saying? Your little house, your little chick. You know what I'm saying? But those people are also the best, best cheerleaders because they're talking about you out there, and they're putting you out there. They're using their energy to talk about you when they could have been using their energy to do something for themselves. All they're doing is concentrating on you.
Starting point is 00:26:02 A lot of times disruptors get hated on, too, simply because people don't understand them. Yeah get this well they get hated on because number one people don't understand them because their vision is too far ahead and then number two when they start disrupting the market people say why do you why are you doing that yeah you know what i'm saying you're you're taking opportunity away from others when you're not you know you're just doing you're trying to get ahead and doing exactly what you need to do is it's just your vision was two steps ahead of everybody else's. Now, you guys had also opened the FUBU phone stores up because I had seen some in Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:26:31 So how's that going? It's going great. So FUBU's starting to make this resurgence. I don't think it's going to be exactly what it was. You know, before I got my FUBU Puma collaborations right now, and we have a suit line, we have eyewear, and we have watches. It's just starting to make this resurgence. I guess maybe it's because of all the things that were going on with some of the other bigger brands who they probably, you know, didn't respect or didn't value the market they're selling to.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Or just, you know, fashion comes back every 20 years. And it probably comes back for about three to four years. You know what I mean? Then kids are going to be moving on to what was hot like in 2005. You think that's still your favorite thing you've ever done, like with Star Fubu? Fubu, absolutely. Because I started that with nothing
Starting point is 00:27:11 but my hands and my three other friends, you know, out of Queens. And I started it with $40. And then I'm becoming a global brand and ended up inspiring a lot of people. And it brought me to where I am here today. You know, it gave me the fuel to keep going. It took me around the world. I made a lot of people and it brought me to where I am here today you know it gave me the fuel to keep going it took me around the world I made a lot of mistakes with it but it's been this is my baby it's the one that I'm I saw when
Starting point is 00:27:31 I was 19 I didn't really get really known for until I was like 29 though I think also too is because it's like this whole new resounds they knew it's a resurgence of black entrepreneurship and black empowerment and black pride. And FUBU embodies all of that. Yeah, and that's what it is. You know, a lot of people forgot about that for quite some time. And then they're starting to come back and they're starting to say, you know, they call FUBU the original hashtag of clothing, right? So the kids are just starting to relate to it.
Starting point is 00:28:04 And I love when I see kids who are 16 or 20 reinterpreting the brand in ways that I never even thought of. They'll just wear it in a whole different way, and it'll enlighten me going, wow. You know, I never envisioned it like that, and it's hot. Let's talk about these two rules you have. Never major in minors, and anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Can you elaborate on that? Yeah, I find that people major in minor. Now, we're not talking about if you're detail-orientated when you're talking about building something, a structure, making sure the numbers are right and the distribution is right and things like that.
Starting point is 00:28:29 But I find that people will go out to public in public or let their minds be consumed with things that are really super minor to the overall picture of what they're trying to accomplish. The color of somebody's skin. You know, they'll they'll major in that. I'll find people that won't have loved their whole life because they only are thinking about a person of one color of skin when love shouldn't have a color or a gender. Or they'll think about why their business can't go this far because they're not keeping it real. If a consumer is coming to your business to support your business, when FUBU first started taking off, the first places that bought it was Seattle, Washington, the white kids in
Starting point is 00:29:04 Seattle, Washington, and the kids in Seattle, Washington, and the kids in Japan. The kids who were wearing literally blackface because they were trying to emulate black people, not in a negative way. They were wearing New York Knicks jerseys, breakdancing, wearing blackface. It was the kids in Seattle, Washington, the skateboarders who were wearing it because they felt that
Starting point is 00:29:20 hip-hop was like grunge, and they were wearing it in a rebellious way. If I would have started off saying, you can't wear it because of the color of your skin, what do you think it would have been? hip-hop was like grunge and you know and they were wearing it in a rebellious way if i would have started off saying you can't wear it because of the color of your skin what do you think it would have been right you know what i mean because the whole reason i started it because i didn't want to be a bigot like the rest of the brands who said well because you're black you shouldn't be wearing our brand i i figured fubu was a brand that was made off of african-american culture and music and we should be able to share it and people of all colors should be able to listen.
Starting point is 00:29:47 I mean, should be able to wear it because then they'll start appreciating more of what we went through and our struggles. You know, so people who major in minor, I find that they just talk crap all day. They gossip, they hate on each other, and that's it. That's all they do. And they never take action. Why did you name the album Visualize? I did Visualize because exactly what we talked about earlier with goal setting.
Starting point is 00:30:07 You can't hit a target that you can't see. If you can't visualize it, then it's not going to happen. And when you're talking about, let's say you're reading your goals, you're talking about, listen, I'm going to get this big, beautiful house by the age of 30 years old because I'm going to put away 10% of my money, blah, blah, blah, over the course of time. You don't just visualize that.
Starting point is 00:30:24 You visualize you touching that warm doorknob. You visualize you opening the door and your dog or your daughter or your husband, your wife coming to greet you, the smell of bed breaking, you know, bed, you know, baking in the oven. And you visualize it. We often do that already and visualize, well, I'm always going to be in this abusive relationship. You know, I'm never going to, nobody's ever going to, I'm not going to make money. You know, i'm always going to be in this um abusive relationship you know i'm never going to nobody's ever i'm not going to make money you know they're always going to hold me down in my job and that's what happens you have to visualize it you have to see it come true what do you want people to get from this album i just want people to get from this album that they can apply themselves to this and use it for themselves to make themselves stronger every single day.
Starting point is 00:31:05 That's all. I just want people to be strong every single day mentally. You know, we got a lot of images coming from a whole lot of other places who are selling you a different dream on what you should be. I just want people to right now listen to it. It's like going to my speeches and just, and the beautiful thing is, you know, today's generation, they just stream it. They just add it to what they already have.
Starting point is 00:31:22 So it's not like me saying, yo, go get this. Just, you know what I mean? Buy it. Just stream it, man. And work out to it and empower yourself and empower your family and just have fun with it like I did. Visualize will be out Friday. Dame and John, thank you for coming, my brother.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Thank you. Thank you for having me. Always a pleasure. It's the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. I don't even know how or why we're talking about this.
Starting point is 00:31:46 But we're talking about washing your legs and feet in the shower. Yes, it's turned into a big topic on Twitter. And then they brought it over to The Shade Room. And apparently some people don't wash their legs because they feel like the soap drips down enough. Those are the same people who don't wash chicken. Right. Before they cook it. So we're asking 805...
Starting point is 00:32:03 What do you do, Envy? I'm going to tell you. $805, $85, $105, $105. Funny story, right? Uh-oh. So I was in the shower with my wife and when we take showers,
Starting point is 00:32:10 this is TMI, when we take showers we wash each other. I already know. So we wash each other. She washed me. I washed her. It's some sexy issue.
Starting point is 00:32:16 If you ain't do it, do it. We do what we do. But she was like, you don't wash the bottom of your feet? And I was like, yeah. But I really thought about it and I was like,
Starting point is 00:32:23 I really didn't. You don't. You think you're just standing there in the soap that drips down. Yeah, I was just like,. But I really thought about it. I was like, I really didn't. You don't. You think you're just standing there in the soap that drips down. Yeah, I was just like, yo, I mean, the soap's coming off of me anyway. And she was like, you have to scrub the bottom of your feet.
Starting point is 00:32:31 And I was like, yeah, I do it all the time. But I thought about it and I don't. Now I do. But I don't think I wash my feet for at least... That's disgusting. How do you not wash the bottom of your feet? I do it now.
Starting point is 00:32:43 So this is what I have a problem with. There's people who use the same loofah or the same washcloth on their whole body and their feet that they do like on their face. And I don't think you should do that. So first of all, the bottom of my feet, I have scrub in the shower, like an exfoliant scrub. And I wash the bottom of my feet with the scrub. And then I wash the rest of my body with a loofah. And then I wash my face with a different scrub. Right. I don't wash my face with, I wash the rest of my body with a loofah, and then I wash my face with a different scrub.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Right. I don't wash my face with, I wash my face with my hands. I do have a butt washcloth. You have a washcloth just for your butt? Just for the butt, yeah. And I change it every other day. Because my butt is... I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Yes. I poop a lot. I mean, it is what it is. And, you know, this is too much. This is too much. This is too much. This is too much. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:33:28 Hey, it's Melissa. Melissa, do you wash your feet? Yeah, where did this conversation come from? Well, Envy doesn't wash his feet. I didn't at first. I just didn't. I didn't think about it. You know, you just, you feel.
Starting point is 00:33:41 So how do you wash your feet? You wash it with your hands or you have something you wash it with? I have something I wash it with. No, I'm asking her, not you. A washcloth. Envy, why don do you wash your feet? You wash it with your hands or you have something you wash it with? I have something I wash it with. No, I'm asking her, not you. A washcloth. Why don't you wash your feet? I do wash my feet. At first I didn't because I didn't think about it. Now, do you use that same washcloth on the rest of your body?
Starting point is 00:33:55 Yeah. Now, that's a little weird. But you're in the shower, so you wash and then you scrub. So wait a minute. So the same poo-poo that you get out the back of your butt, you put in your front of your vagina? And you wash your face with that? There shouldn't be poop in your butt, by the way.
Starting point is 00:34:10 You got a poopy face if that's the case. What's so funny? She tried to go at you, right? Meanwhile. Meanwhile, you don't change your wisecloth nasty ass. She got dirty feet in her butt. Siobhan, good morning. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Siobhan, it says you're a big girl. Yeah, I am. It says. That's what it says. I'm reading the thing. It, it says you're a big girl. Yeah, I am. It says. That's what it says. I'm reading the thing. It says Siobhan's a big girl. Now, how big is big, Siobhan? I'm not big like no 300 pounds.
Starting point is 00:34:32 I'm like 219. But I'm saying when I take me in, first of all, no female should take no bath, period. That's just disgusting. Because you're laying in the tub and all that dirty work, getting back up in your yu-ha, that's nasty. I take a shower. I have two washcloths.
Starting point is 00:34:46 One for my private parts and the other one is for my legs, my arms, my chest, and my back. And my feet. Javon? So wait, you use the same one on your feet you use on the rest of your body. What about if you had on flip-flops all day and your feet is dirty on the bottom? No, no, no, no. I have two of them. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:01 My feet's the last thing I wash on my body. That's the last thing I wash. I've only got three because I wash my face and my arms with an old stuff and washcloth. So my kids say that I got OCD when it comes to my body, and I do. I'm sorry. How often do you wash your washcloths? I wash my clothes every other day. My laundry bill is about $400 a month, because that's how long I have my washing machine
Starting point is 00:35:22 constantly flowing. I feel you. Okay. Siobhan? Yes. Let's be honest. I'm not that big, but sometimes it's hard to bend down to get the bottom of my feet. Oh, no. I've been down.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Trust me. Believe me. My tub, I got the old-fashioned tub. Siobhan? The tub, I bend down. Siobhan? And I put my feet up. Listen. If you weigh 250, there's no way you comfortably wash the bottom of your feet. Why you add an extra poundage on me? I said 219.
Starting point is 00:35:49 What are you doing? You said 219 before. Which one is it, Siobhan? It's 219, but what are you doing? Why you add an extra poundage on me? I'm just making sure. I'm just making sure. Some people be having a little stool to sit down in in the shower.
Starting point is 00:36:01 No, I'm not old now. Come on now. That's crazy. Thank you, Siobhan. You're welcome. Bye, I'm not old now. Come on now. That's crazy. Thank you, Siobhan. You're welcome. Bye. Alyssa, good morning. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Do you wash your legs and feet? Listen, this is the most white people-ish I've ever heard coming from the white girls who got Starbucks on the way to work. Wash your legs.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Wash your feet. It is disgusting. Also, wash behind your ears. Some people don't wash behind their ears. I had that problem. Everywhere I go, I wash from the head to the toe. Wash it all.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Thank you. It's a white thing. You know, I... Why is that camera guy like, why is this a white thing? You know, I had that problem too with washing behind my ears, right? Yeah, wash behind your ears.
Starting point is 00:36:38 When I was a kid... That's disgusting. My mom went behind my ears with a Q-tip and got so much dirt. Oh, that's so gross. You had shmegma behind your ears. I had all types of stuff.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Guess what, too? Our camera guy said he doesn't wash his testicles. That's disgusting. Our camera guy is disgusting. Hello, who's this? He doesn't wash his testicles. Don't you wash yours?
Starting point is 00:36:57 Stinky. Yo, this is Anthony. How you doing, man? Anthony, what's up, bro? Do you wash your feet, man? Nope. I mean, I like... I knew it.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Look, I put a generous amount of soap on my upper body. That soap runs down. And I got a detachable shower head. So I make sure it's got good pressure, too. So, you know, I run down. You know, I get the soap running down. And I hit the legs, and I see dirt coming off. You do a little bidet.
Starting point is 00:37:16 You have dirt coming off your legs? You have dirt coming off your feet, man. I got other issues. You know it's clean. So, you know, I don't actively go down there and scrub like that. I mean, you know, no. You just let it slide down, so I don't actively go down there and scrub like that. I mean, no, I'm straight. You just let it slide down. Your sheets must be filthy, bro.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Nah, my feet are deep. I mean, you know, I could probably use one of those. What's that, a manicure? What's that called? I said your feet are dirty. I said your sheets
Starting point is 00:37:35 in your bed with your dirty-ass feet. Oh, nah, man. Nah, I'm just playing. You know, I'm feeling, like I said, I got the water pressure, you know,
Starting point is 00:37:41 and I hit it with the water and it's good. You know, it's great. And there's nothing worse than when you wear flip-flops around all day and then you look at the bottom of your feet and you're like, ugh. When I wear slides, I got socks on. You wear socks with slides? Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Yeah. All right. Well, moral of the story, wash your damn feet. Okay. Well, Envy just learned that, by the way. I did just learn that. I told me and my wife were in the shower. We washed each other, and I didn't wash her legs.
Starting point is 00:38:06 And she was like, you don't wash your feet? And I was like, yeah. The big issue is our camera guy doesn't wash his testicles. That's disgusting, man. That's disgusting. All right, we got more coming up next. We're The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, sir. His album is out right now, Father of Four. Yes, sir. Offset.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Welcome. What's happening? Welcome, welcome. So first and foremost, why did you change the name of the album? What was the name before? I thought it was another name of the album before. I ain't never put no name out. Ah.
Starting point is 00:38:42 I just wanted, I did that for my kids, you know what I mean? A lot of people only know about culture. But, yeah, I just wanted to focus on my kids. I got four kids, and I've been having kids. Like, my oldest son, nine, you know what I'm saying? It's just growing up, maturing, you know what I mean? The music, maturing, 27. I'm maturing, seeing how it's going through.
Starting point is 00:38:58 I had a rough year this year, too, so I just wanted to focus on my kids and give out some good content music. That's interesting to hear you say you had a rough year because we saw you be in jail before and all of that. What made the year rough? You know. What made the year rough? Breakups, car accidents.
Starting point is 00:39:14 People talking, car accidents. I almost lost my life on that one. Trying to save somebody else's life. So it was just a time to grow up. I just wanted to show another side of me that people don't really see. It was very personal, a lot of things that you told on this album. Like you talk about your relationship or not having a relationship with your dad. How does that affect you as far as how you treat your kids?
Starting point is 00:39:35 Well, growing up affected me a lot. That's why I think I was running around doing so much. I didn't really have no father guidance. So without that, and then you got the streets. You just let the streets guide you. Your mama, you now, your mama become
Starting point is 00:39:47 the person you hiring from. Growing up, your mama was your dad. Yeah. Yeah. But it still be a different connection, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:39:53 I don't really know how the connection would be because I ain't got no... You know what I'm saying? I make sure I reflect that on my kids, but it be hard sometimes with scheduling too
Starting point is 00:40:00 because time is everything. How was it doing the photo shoot with all four of them at once? I actually had three photo shoots. I just posted the first rough draft, but we had three photo shoots. Yeah, I'm buying that, boy, because I got five, and that's the toughest thing
Starting point is 00:40:14 ever. Making all of them smile, all of them look straight. And then, you be working so hard, I'm trying to get it done, I'm not even really noticing. It's like 11, now it's 12 o'clock. So then I'm getting frustrated, but I gotta keep it in. I'm like, just calm down. We couldn't get really noticing. It's like 11. Now it's 12 o'clock. So then I'm getting frustrated. But I got to keep it in. I'm like, just calm down.
Starting point is 00:40:27 We couldn't get it done. It's too late. And Coach is the toughest one because she's the youngest. So she's hungry. She's crying. She's hungry. She's crying. She don't want to sit somewhere else for a little minute.
Starting point is 00:40:35 She's not trying to sit down, period. It was tough, but we got out, though. Did you change your diapers, Offset? Yeah, I'm big on that. Okay. You said, I'm big on that. I said, I've been doing that. You've been doing that. I've been doing that, yeah. You said, I'm big on that. Like, I'm big on that. I said, I've been doing that. I've been doing that.
Starting point is 00:40:45 I've been doing that. I'm big on that. I enjoy it. So even with the money and everything, if they say, the grandma's there, the mama there,
Starting point is 00:40:51 you're like, nah, I got her. I feel like the moments be special too. Like, even changing your child's pamper line.
Starting point is 00:40:56 That's a special moment between you and your child. Now I was going to ask, with the nine-year-old, with so much talking about culture, of course, because with Cardi,
Starting point is 00:41:02 did he feel a certain way like, damn, they always talk about culture, don't talk about me or talk about my siblings. Nah, he never no no no He's still a kid. I try to keep my kids kids. So that Instagram I really let them rock out on there like that You know, I mean he play sports, but no I know it ain't never been no comparison They be they be pressing me by Santa and you know We got to put her on private planes because people we just I try to keep my kids kids
Starting point is 00:41:23 I don't want nobody that's why I never I never moved to keep my kids kids. I don't want nobody, that's why I never, I never moved to L.A. because I ain't, I don't want cameras all in their face because one time my oldest son was like,
Starting point is 00:41:32 somebody said something to him in school and he like, my daddy got more money than you, your daddy. I beat him though. I beat him though.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Oh, your son said that to another kid? Yeah. And then he, he thought, he thinking, and then he was,
Starting point is 00:41:43 I was seeing how when he told me and the teacher told me how when he told me, and the teacher told me how he feeling like it's okay, so I had to whoop him about that. And I'm like, because I wanted him to be regular. Daddy, just tell him the truth, though. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Who was the daddy? Who was the other daddy? I don't know. I keep him in public school, though, so, you know what I mean? Keep him a kid. Is it hard having more than one baby mama? At times. But now at this point and all, you got to keep it about the kids.
Starting point is 00:42:07 It's about the kids. Yeah. This is what you need. Provide this. I'm going to provide schooling. I'm going to provide housing. I'm going to provide transportation, but you provide your lifestyle. But I make sure that everybody, you know what I mean,
Starting point is 00:42:17 everything good for the kids because I want my kids in good housing. I don't want to be, I can't be, no, this one can't. Everybody has to have a nice place, a nice school district. I like that because if the moms are happy and comfortable, it makes the kids happy and comfortable because they're the ones that have to help make sure that the kids are good. So all the big moms got to have a Bentley truck. No.
Starting point is 00:42:37 No. We all got to just be having good transportation, good area to stay in with a good school district. You know, you were very honest about where you were at in your life when you had your kids. You know, you talk about on Lick about what you had to do in order to provide for your firstborn son, which was very difficult. And then you even talk about your daughter and not even knowing for sure if that was your daughter at first. That was like one of the hardest moments in my life, to be honest. I was here and I have a kid,
Starting point is 00:43:07 but she got to my mom on Facebook. And then when I see the kid, I know it's me, you know what I mean? But she's five months, I don't even know this. I know, I seen her one time. I didn't even know what state. I know this is my daughter. This is my first daughter. But she's so beautiful.
Starting point is 00:43:22 I couldn't do it like that. I just tried to be invisible. I couldn't do that. that I just try to be invisible I couldn't do that I just had to stand up what was the decision to to finally open the world up to culture because people were trying to see the pictures for as soon as y'all had it what was the first time we saw it was exact on the cover of your album people got so much to say it's our daughter you know first you gotta protect us and take the temperature see what's going on first she's still like we still would probably not be just posting her all the time. Because it's our kid.
Starting point is 00:43:48 You got to keep something private, man. How do you figure out how much is too much to give her your personal life? I don't feel like it's never too much when you're starting to grow. And you being a grown man, you know what I mean? Because grown men talk about their issues. They face it. And it's okay to say you messed up. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:44:02 That's what's good. I think the human part of it of you admitting the situation with your firstborn daughter and just saying how at first you didn't really want to believe this and how you had to come to accept it, but so many people have been in that position. And maybe it will encourage people to be better about stepping up and handling their responsibilities, no matter what the circumstances were.
Starting point is 00:44:22 Just facing like a man. And so when I made that song, I just felt relieved, honestly. Some of my partners didn't even know that. It's just like, I was just keeping in, but I felt like this album got to be different because I'm grown. I'm doing real grown, man. I can't keep talking about these diamonds and these cars.
Starting point is 00:44:38 I was trying to put mood music on there because that's why I was taking my time, pushing back, taking my time. I wanted to be able to control the content because i feel like content music coming back around now we see you talk about the lean in that album too that you used to use lean a lot are you done with all the drug use at all right now i'm i'm cleaning that up right now you ain't got you can't really work for real it's like you a whole nother person no matter what you're doing and then you think you're not and i'm just starting to learn like what is it doing for
Starting point is 00:45:04 me what i'm doing for somebody else kid when they look at me you know what i'm doing for my kids when they're looking at me and they see everything if you got in the cup your cup i know how my kids see my son asked me like dad what you drinking i want some juice i'm just maturing bro i'm going through a little little thing i'm married now and cardi had issues with that too right did she tell you like you got to chill out on that or you can't come back in the house? Nah, she ain't do it like that.
Starting point is 00:45:28 You know what I mean? She just, you know, they jab at you. Stop doing that. I like you what you. And then you notice because certain things you do, if you don't change it,
Starting point is 00:45:36 you'll lose people around you. And you make poor decisions. Poor decisions come from that instant decisions because you're not you. And I ain't trying to do that no more. And I did that.
Starting point is 00:45:44 All right, we got more with Offset. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Offset is here. His album, Father of Four, is out right now. Charlamagne? One of the reoccurring themes on your album, you talk about not wanting to have money just for yourself
Starting point is 00:46:03 because that's selfish. You need to leave it for your kids. Exactly. So all these lifestyle changes is for that. I'm kicking the door, breaking the house, because there wasn't no leftover money from the family, ever. There was never no money. I don't never want to take my kids through that.
Starting point is 00:46:14 How my kids going to be doing anything? Like, they're struggling. And I'm like this. And I got all these cars, and I got all this here, and I got, and I'm a star. I be seeing, like, I seen Juice J, Nas. I be seeing, I be reading and watching, like, I put this money up, put this money right here, put this money right here.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Then me and Cardi got to buy a house in Atlanta off your video. Like, we was just talking like, we need to start doing this. Cardi hit me one time about investing in Jersey, investing in Atlanta. And that's what I like to see. And the fact when I was talking to you out there, he was like, yeah, I'm on that. You know what I mean? And that's that wealth that you could say, here, my kids here, this is for y'all. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:46:45 And I paid off that every month until y'all give it to y'all kids and y'all kids' kids. And that's what it should be about. Yeah, man, I'm owning a business. I'm having houses. Trying to get these apartment complexes in Atlanta right now.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Because I ain't know. Like, condos, it's a little, it ain't nothing but little bins. And where I'm from, in Atlanta, where I'm from, they're 200, listen, 230,000, 250,000. All these condos, in Atlanta, where I'm from, they're 200, listen,
Starting point is 00:47:06 230,000, 250,000. All these condos, you paying 3,500 a month to lease in, you can own them. As long as it's under market value, you'll always be good.
Starting point is 00:47:13 But if you buy, let's say, a complex in Atlanta, let's say it might be a million dollars, that rent roll, you just use that to play. I got a complex
Starting point is 00:47:21 that just pays my fund. That handles my cars, my jewelry, my wife. I ain't got to touch that. That's that condo. Everything else is something different. You know what I mean? And that just pays my fund. That handles my cars, my jewelry, my wife. I ain't got to touch that. That's that condo. Everything else is something different. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:47:29 And you just do that. And as long as you keep that mind frame, you'll be good. Do anything for clout. Your generation likes to focus on everything but talent. So is it hard for you not to get caught up in that? Sometimes. Because sometimes you ain't got nothing better than talking. But you know, I be coming at you.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Social media come at you like some punches. But that might not be for clout. That's just you responding or reacting. But then people look at it as clout, too, though. You know what I mean? You felt social media was trying to come at you and ruin your relationship at one time. For sure.
Starting point is 00:47:57 They were going at you. We were Charlamagne and I, you and I, we had your back. For sure. You know that, right? Yeah, I know that. I know that. You just hope that things make your relationship. I just want people to be realistic. Yeah, no, we had your back. For sure. You know that, right? Yeah, I know that. You just hope that things make your relationship. I just want people to be realistic.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Yeah, no, we had your back. We just want things to make your relationship stronger. I'm wrong. I'm wrong. Like, I did something that's wrong. But, bro, don't kill me. Me and your guy been there. A lot of me and my people to work this out because now it's serious.
Starting point is 00:48:20 It's not no game. It's not no, you know what I'm saying? It's a family. But it's also a private situation and I like for the fact that for women, you know, I think that it is important to acknowledge a woman's real feelings and hurt that a woman might have.
Starting point is 00:48:34 Sometimes people are like, oh, just take them back. But it is a process. It is you proving that you've messed up, that you've changed. No, they weren't saying that. They weren't saying take them back. But that's how I know she loved me. They weren't trying to... No but that's how i know she loved me because they weren't trying to um no they wanted it to be over yeah i'm new to being married i'm 20 i was 26 man i'm 27 in the prime after having a number one after having the best year of my 2017 was the
Starting point is 00:48:55 best year for my career for my group everything you know i mean you gotta learn like it's not no game there ain't no game you did what was right in my opinion you fought and you fought and you did what you had to do yeah you're down do. Yeah, that was the weird thing. Everybody was giving you flack when you came out on stage with the cake and everything. Yeah, I'm done. I don't give a damn. I love my girl. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:12 I called my wife on air, live. Charlamagne gasped me up for that one. Yes, he did. But I called her live on air. You're a real brother. That's a real boy. That's a real boy. Right?
Starting point is 00:49:22 Live. Live. Hey, baby. I love you. I'm sorry. You know what I mean? For real. I'm back. But, yeah, it got me back to this. Because, bro, it's lonely in point. Live. Live. Hey, baby. I love you. I'm sorry. You know what I mean? For real. It got me back to this.
Starting point is 00:49:29 It worked for Emmy. For Charlamagne, it was for clout. What you mean for clout? Because there was great ratings for us. No, I wanted it. He was coming in here every day. He was coming in here every day. I didn't think Emmy was going to make it.
Starting point is 00:49:39 I didn't know what was wrong with her. He was about to quit the job. And then I was like, yo, whatever you got going on, you need to let everybody know. And then he said that. And I'm like, oh, that got real. I didn't know he was going to do that.. And then I was like, yo, whatever you got going on, you need to let everybody know. And then he said that. And I'm like, oh, that got real. I didn't know you was going to do that. Sometimes letting everybody know, like, bro, you letting yourself know because you got to be a man,
Starting point is 00:49:53 like I said, with the album. Like, you got to step forward and face what it is you got to face. Love is a beautiful thing, bro. And try to be cool and act like, bro, we get hurt too, bro. And we can say it, bro. It's okay, dog. Was there ever a time when you felt like, you know, let me fall back and give her her space? I ain't going to say nothing on the gram.
Starting point is 00:50:10 I ain't going to come out of her shoulder. I'm just going to let her go through it. I'm just going to let her say something on the gram, bro. I was pressing up. I wasn't giving her no space. People say you got to give space. Bro, you ain't giving no. Why?
Starting point is 00:50:18 Give your girl some space. Who? Space to go where? Who? I'm with you. Where you at, dog? Bro, I lose it all. I lose her. I'm telling you early? Who? I'm with you. Where you at, dog? Bro, I lose it all. I lose her.
Starting point is 00:50:25 I'm telling you early. Like, who? As you should have. I agree with you. I'm pulling up, man. As you should have. If you love something, let it go. If it come back to you, it's yours.
Starting point is 00:50:35 So you did that. It came back. Nah, you don't let it go. Nah, I don't let it go. Nope. Might don't come back. You keep fighting it. Might don't come back, man.
Starting point is 00:50:42 For real, man. You were scared that you was going to lose a fella? For sure. I done hurt this girl like this, yeah. Yeah. Never again. You good now? Everything?
Starting point is 00:50:51 Man, you got to keep it. You learned the lesson. Yeah, man. You got to go through steps and different things so we can grow. So y'all did the marriage counseling and all that? Worked through it. Got to work. Got to keep it.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Don't stop. Officer, let's talk about you. Just how you've grown, right? Because you talk about your grandmother on the album and missing her. You talk about your old life for robbing. Did you do some type of therapy or something, like to deal with the trauma you may have? Yeah, you know what therapy I went through? What?
Starting point is 00:51:15 Jail. For real. For real. That saved my life. A lot of these cats, bro, especially in music, bro, they be like trying to be locked up. Bro, I done had a judge in my face like, hey, I see you again, I'm going to give you 10 years. Key RAC, ain't no offset.
Starting point is 00:51:33 And I've been, last time I had that, last arrest when I was in the States, bro, I did nothing. I was with my security and caught a charge related to a firearm being with my security. I sat there eight months and was not getting no bond for no reason. So that just made me focus all the way down. Like, hold on. When I get out, bro, I'm never doing this no more.
Starting point is 00:51:52 I'm going to do this, this, this. I'm going to turn myself into a monster with music. Right. And I did that. Even with your temper, because back in the day, it seemed like you would always get in the fights. Like, how did you calm that down? It ain't worth it.
Starting point is 00:52:04 I'm going to lose. Too much to lose. I just start seeing, like, the odds. People the fights. How did you calm that down? It ain't worth it. I'm going to lose. I just start seeing the odds. People want to try to piss you off so they can get a payout. People want to try you, bro. This type of game, it ain't no point of being tough. What you being tough and you rapping for, you making millions, bro. So when you get into little beefs with people, right, like say Chris Brown or whoever,
Starting point is 00:52:21 do you ever think you would really throw it away for social media? I don't even want to talk about that because it's like, bro, I stepped out of my, I apologize to my fans. It's my fault. You know what I'm talking about? I'm a, who I am,
Starting point is 00:52:30 I ain't even supposed to be replying. I ain't even supposed to be replying. It's my fault. Going on shout-out s***. You know what I mean? But at the end of the day,

I know how I be. You can either let the streets take you away, or you can kick in with your family. A lot of folks, the streets take them away from their mama.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Their grandmama, they're everything. So I've just been on the other side, too. I've been a father that was locked up, tripping, not really focused on life goals, not really focusing on taking care of the kids. I'm buying little things, but I'm really being selfish because I don't have nothing myself. I know how mamas could be, too. Like, it's a dirty gang, too, now. Your mama could have been playing it dirty,
Starting point is 00:55:50 and then it got to a point where he just... Gave up. Gave up. Say something like, why would my son be with you, and you doing all this? It's just, I've been on the other side, so I ain't mad at your pops. How your mom feel about that, though?
Starting point is 00:56:03 Your mom like, man, don't do nothing for him. He wasn't around. My mama know how tight-hearted, tight person I am, so she just be respecting it, like, keep trying to find him, son. Don't give up on trying to find him. Sometimes I done last out. She don't know what it's from. It be that. Because it's embarrassing not to have your daddy. You can act

Who life did you save in the car crash? You say he was need to make sure my family good. I got to provide, bro. It's real out here. Who life did you save in the car crash? You say he was trying to save somebody else's life.
Starting point is 00:56:29 He had to swerve to make somebody. Okay. He probably was like a... A fiend. A fiend. Because how you just in the middle of the street.
Starting point is 00:56:37 When I'm looking, it's raining. I'm still going to look what I should be going. I'm going about 50 on a one-way street. And I see you. You look. And then I'm super close to you now. So I'm like, what are you doing be going. I'm going about 50 on a one-way street. And I see you. You look.
Starting point is 00:56:46 And then I'm super close to you now. So I'm like, what are you doing? And then I go around. And how the hellcat is, it's fishtail. And I didn't have my attraction on. So at first, it's black. I couldn't even see what I was seeing. And there was a tree.
Starting point is 00:56:58 Boom. And I remember when I hit everything, I felt my teeth because my bottom tooth came out. I felt my tooth come out. I couldn't blink this eye. But the dude came to the window and, like, had to see if I was dead and how the door was jammed. So I couldn't get out of my door, so I just yelled.
Starting point is 00:57:16 Like, I'm panicking. I'm like, what you doing? I'm trying to tell him to open the door. He just go. He run off. I climbed out from the other side because the car was squished, so it had jammed the door. But the other door was good, though, because I had hit it kind of on the left side on the driving side instead of this side so when i crawl out my jury stopped falling off my neck now i don't know
Starting point is 00:57:34 where to do that i started grabbing my i'm like i'm like i ain't trying to get robbed i ain't trying to get robbed you gotta live i'm like i ain't trying to get robbed. I ain't trying to get robbed. I mean, babe, you got to live. I'm like, I ain't trying to get robbed. I grabbed that. I just remember I grabbed it. And then I remember, like, a dude was running, like, yo. He ran down to me, and I couldn't really see. I got so much blood and just covered. I'm walking, because I was probably a quarter mile from my house. So I'm walking to the house, and then he just helped me walk up.
Starting point is 00:57:59 And he just dipped. Dude helped you in just that. Like an angel. Come to find out he was walking from work. He walks from work, and he was a single father too With two kids So I had bought him a car And what blew me right
Starting point is 00:58:09 I bought him a little Nissan Right They telling me On the internet Why did you buy him a Nissan You should have bought him He's age a lot You should have bought him a Maybach

Starting point is 00:58:24 Man this is a walking man walking down the street, bro, at four o'clock in the morning. Then when I went to the hospital, I was just thinking about that, like, man, who was that? Who was that that just did that? Getting robbed. I needed that. Taking jewelry and just walking to the crib. And then just getting off.
Starting point is 00:58:37 And he was like, oh my God, bro, you all set, bro? And he's still, when I got in the house, I was bleeding him out. Y'all take him to the hospital. By the time I looked, he was walking. When we were driving, when we was pulling off, he was walking back to wherever he had to get to work. And now he driving a Nissan. That was a crazy experience.
Starting point is 00:58:51 I've never been in a car accident before that. I crashed, and a door came over. Windshield right here on my face. It got bent in. And then, when I get to the hospital, they tell me 90% of people die. Every time they hit a tree, they coming through the window. And I didn't have no seatbelt on.
Starting point is 00:59:09 So those brushes with death between that and your partner dying in your arms, that's changed your whole perspective. Whole perspective. What my kids gonna do without me, man? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is it hard being married? Because I'm sure women are throwing themselves at you. Nah, it ain't hard to be married when you just really focus and do what you gotta do, dog.
Starting point is 00:59:25 That's right. You know you're a grown man, so whatever you're doing, I mean, you know what you're doing. No, it ain't right. Black men don't cheat, man. Black men don't cheat. Play it out.

Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home

Donkey of the day with Charlemagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. Well, Donkey of the Day goes to a 61-year-old Florida man named Thomas Devaney Lane. Now, listen, what does your Uncle Charla tell you all the time? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
Starting point is 01:03:19 There is no debate about this. Now, once again, you have two types of people in Florida. The ones who don't think anybody from Florida is crazy at all and get offended when I say that. And then the ones who know Florida is crazy as hell and they just accept their fate. Stacy, who called here a couple weeks ago who wanted to kill me,
Starting point is 01:03:36 he's one of the people who gets offended when I call Florida crazy. Remember, Stacy? He was hot. We ain't crazy in Florida, bro. You reporting s*** that you see on the news, that s*** ain't right. Okay. Alright, Stacy. I'm just out here reporting things that I see on the news, but they ain't crazy in Florida, bro. You reporting s*** that you see on the news, that s*** ain't right. Okay. All right, Stacey. I'm just out here reporting things that I see on the news, but they ain't right. Well, listen, Stacey, once again, there's more than enough evidence to prove that Florida is indeed crazy, okay?
Starting point is 01:03:55 I come in here every day and get presented stories from the news that prove my point. And today is no different because Thomas Lane was arrested for disturbing the peace. Now, this is ironic, being that the whole state of Florida disturbs the peace of the rest of America. So if you are a Floridian in Florida and you get arrested for disturbing the peace, you must really be raising hell. Thomas Lane is a self-proclaimed saint. Now, what is a saint? A person acknowledged as holy or virtuous and typically regarded as being in heaven after death. That has nothing to do with anything that I'm about to say. So authorities received multiple calls about a man who was disturbing the peace at several businesses,
Starting point is 01:04:34 screaming that he was indeed a saint and he had a whole army that was going to destroy everyone. He actually told a 911 operator that any responding officers need to leave now or they will all be sorry they effed with the saint. And if you eff with the saint, my army will destroy the whole city. Now, you've got to take threats like this serious in 2019. A man says he has a whole army. All right. He may really have a whole army. And Thomas Lane really did have a whole army. Let's go to CBS for Miami for the report, please. Police say this Florida man warned them that his turtle army would destroy them.
Starting point is 01:05:11 Officers in Brevard County say they received seven calls about a man disturbing the peace at three different locations. At one point, they say 61-year-old Thomas Devaney Lane walked into the police station, yelled at the dispatcher, and pounded on the walls in glass. According to the arrest report, he left but then called the dispatcher from a nearby 7-Eleven and told them that they would be sorry they messed with, quote, the saint. When they came to pick him up, Lane reportedly refused to get out of the car, yelled obscenities, and told them his turtle army would destroy them, saying they would see what would happen in an hour. Lane is now facing multiple charges of breaching the peace, misusing 911, and resisting an officer. It's turtle army.
Starting point is 01:05:52 Sounds like a horror movie like the birds, but the turtle version. It took them a whole hour. That's actually some fast turtles if they can get it done in an hour, but Florida not playing, y'all. Okay? Y'all worried about white militia groups when the real enemy is green militia groups led by white people. Alright? Thomas Lane is no master splinter. He doesn't have a team of heroes in a half shell. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Starting point is 01:06:16 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Heroes in a half shell. Turtle power. Oh, it's turtle power, but ain't no Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael protecting the city from danger. He has a team of villains in a half shell that are here to bring danger to the city. OK, Thomas Lane wants all the smoke. What is America doing to protect us from these kind of domestic terrorists in the form of tortoises?
Starting point is 01:06:39 All right. Terror has a name in America, ladies and gentlemen, and the name is Cecil the Turtle. OK, don't let Cecil the Turtle fool you. If you don't think turtles can be a threat, then play Super Mario Brothers. Get them some pizza. No, those are the good turtles. The good turtles like pizza.
Starting point is 01:06:54 The bad turtles just want smoke. That's how they get fed. Alright? I got the mini Nintendo hooked up at the house right now. Alright? All of y'all will take Thomas' threats more seriously if you go to war with the Cooper Troopers. You want that smoke with Bowser and his gang of Cooper Troopers? Nah, you don't.
Starting point is 01:07:09 Step on one of those turtles. They go into their shell for a little while. Kick one. Turn your back. They bump into a pipe. Bounce back and kill you. Thomas was arrested and charged with disturbing the peace, resisting arrest without violence, and misusing 911. He was released on bail and when Thomas was asked to make a

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.
Starting point is 01:10:51 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.

Starting point is 01:11:27 There you go. There's nothing wrong with that. You know what I mean? We're all here. It's a blessing. You have a new show coming? Yes, I do. And it's called Family Reunion. I'm really excited about it.
Starting point is 01:11:35 And it's premiering July 10th soon on Netflix. And it's an all black writers room. Yes, it is. And I was very, very excited about that. I think, you know, it is. And I was very, very excited about that. I think, you know, it is a
Starting point is 01:11:48 funny, incredible show. Having an all Black writers staff, it was just such a great, incredible experience. Tell us about it. We see it's the old generation versus the new generation. Yeah, so it's like old school meets new school.
Starting point is 01:12:03 Kind of like tradition versus non-tradition, but it's like old school, you know, meets new school, kind of like tradition versus, you know, non-tradition, but it's about a family, the McKellans, and we're from Seattle, Washington, and we end up going to a family reunion in the south in Georgia. We end up saying we want our children, you know, to end up growing up there and living there. And we end up moving into my husband's mom's house, which could get a little interesting. The grandma, Loretta Devine, she's incredible. She plays the grandma. But yeah, it's a great, funny show,
Starting point is 01:12:41 and I'm just so proud of it. How do you raise your kids? You have two kids. I do. Congrats on the new baby girl, by the way. Thank you. Yeah, she's one. Old school, new school, a little bit of both? I'm non-traditional. My daughter, she's still in the bed
Starting point is 01:12:54 with my husband and myself. She's never going to get out. I'm just going to let you know. No, eventually she will. When she's 16. No, no, no. When she's five. No, my son, he was out of our bed when he was around four. So that's a long time. Even when you put them out, they still going to find their way back in.
Starting point is 01:13:11 No, I know, but that's what's so beautiful about it. You know what I mean? They're not going to be babies forever. But what about when you and your husband want some? You're like, the baby's in the middle. Clearly they have no problem getting some because they got babies. You know how this works, right? No, I mean, there are other places in the house. Clearly they have no problem getting something because they got babies. You know how this works, right?
Starting point is 01:13:25 No, I mean, there are other places in the house. Oh, okay. So you guys got to leave the bedroom. Wow. You play you like you're in a two-bedroom apartment.
Starting point is 01:13:34 I mean, it makes it fun, you know, so. So you go in their room, you go in the kitchen. Yeah, the closet. The bathroom. Did you have the experience growing up of not realizing that there were some things that, as black people, are kind of exclusive to us, that people outside of our culture just don't get?
Starting point is 01:13:53 Because sometimes we take it for granted. Like, you're like, I didn't know this was just what we do and what other people don't do. Yeah. No, yeah. Totally. Like, what are some examples of things that we do in our community that culturally other people just. You know, one thing that I just love about this show in general is exactly what you're talking about. There's this one scene where, you know, the brother on the show, he's, you know, getting a haircut at home.
Starting point is 01:14:21 The barber, you know what I mean? He comes to the house and some people, some people, they don't get that. They don't, you know, understand that, that, you know, that's just something that we do. Or not only that. Even to the job, guys get their haircut at work all the time. Oh, yeah. The barber comes to them.
Starting point is 01:14:35 Oh, yeah. The barber basically comes to them because, you know, it's all about that lining, and they have to make sure that they have that proper. The barber is just as important as a doctor, therapist, lawyer. Exactly. Exactly. So, you know. But that's new,
Starting point is 01:14:46 because I couldn't afford that a while ago. I had to go to the barbershop. I still go to the barbershop, not just for the camaraderie and the communication, but yeah. So the white barbershop is different than like the black guy's barbershop. I've never been in a white barbershop.
Starting point is 01:14:57 I don't know the best way. Oh, yeah. I guess they use scissors. I have no idea. They use a lot of scissors. I mean, my son gets his haircut at the house. We have a barber. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:15:06 He comes to the house. But you're rich. No, but I mean, that's just like you said. It's a part of the culture. You know what I mean? No, it's really not. Let's not throw that out there. You got to be special to have the barber come to the house.
Starting point is 01:15:19 But I guess what I'm saying is we have a relationship with our barbers. Yes. You know what I mean? They are a part of the family. They are welcome to come to the house. That's true. Because you just don't bring anybody and everybody up to the house. That's true.
Starting point is 01:15:34 That's what I mean. And if the barber is coming to your house, that's probably because he ain't got no license and they kicked him out the barber shop. No. And so now you're making house calls. That is a fact in the hood. They charge a lot more to come to the crib, though. That's why.
Starting point is 01:15:43 No. Also, what I think that's great about, you know, family reunion is, you know, the religious kind of aspect about it. You know, I really feel that, you know, growing up, church has always been a part of my life. I feel like with black culture, church is always a part of, you know, everybody's life, whether you wanted to go to church or not. Correct. You were in church on Sunday, and I just really love that about this show. All day. Yes.
Starting point is 01:16:10 You know, this show is for us, by us. And what I love about, you know, the writing staff is the stories are very authentic, and they're very real. And it makes the show very relatable and very grounded. And that's why I was really, really excited about doing this show. Have you learned anything new about motherhood now that you have a girl? You had a son before, right? Oh, yeah. That's a really good question. Yeah. You know, one thing about having a son, I said, I mean, it's amazing. And how old is your son? My son, he's almost eight. He'll be
Starting point is 01:16:47 eight in June. My son is a part of me, but my daughter, she's an extension of me. And that's what I've, you know, learned with, you know, just raising my daughter now. And it has been such an amazing, beautiful experience just seeing her grow into this personality that she is. I mean, she's walking now. She's saying words like mama, dada. But yeah, I'm really enjoying it. I'm really enjoying, you know, raising my daughter. I wonder how much different her life will be
Starting point is 01:17:26 from yours because you essentially grew up with your best friend your whole life. She doesn't have that necessarily. No, she doesn't, but I mean I want to be that for her. I mean, I know that there's you know, your children you can't necessarily be
Starting point is 01:17:41 their best friend, you know what I mean? But I want to be the mom that my daughter can go to and talk to and lean on me and, you know, tell me everything. So I definitely want to be that for my daughter. I did, you know, I do feel like, you know, having a twin and, you know, hi, Tamara, love you. a twin and you know hi tamera love you um you know she's definitely you know a best friend and being able to go through life and the trials and tribulations that i've gone through um it has been easier because i've had my sister right there with me did y'all fight a lot you and your sister you
Starting point is 01:18:21 know what what's so i have i have five and and the two older ones, they fight like crazy. He doesn't get it because Envy's the only child. I'm the only child, so it's like... My sister and I, to say that we never fought, it would be a lie. You know what I mean? Because, sisters, you have to. It's a fist fight, though, now. No, I'm not talking about a fist fight.
Starting point is 01:18:40 Not verbal, not yelling and screaming. I'm talking about hair grabbing. No, you, no, no. Not verbal, not yelling and screaming. I'm talking about hair grabbing. No, you know what? And I know this may sound weird, but when you're a twin, you really have this unique, special bond. But to answer your question, of course, we have sibling rivalry at times because that's normal. Are y'all the same or different? We're very different. When you have two people that are so alike, that's, you know, that's when it gets a little challenging. Did your mom dress you alike and all that too?
Starting point is 01:19:06 She did. Did you hate that or love it? I loved it, Tamera. She didn't like it. Like, we dressed alike all the way up until we were in high school. And I remember... High school? High school.
Starting point is 01:19:17 That's funny. Yeah. But in that era, though, in the era we grew up in, dressing alike with your best friend was fly. Oh, yeah. It was fun. But my sister, you know, she was all about trying to find her own, you know, individual, you know, all that. But I thought it was really cool.
Starting point is 01:19:31 We learned from each other. Like, I'm the nontraditional parent. I have the nontraditional parenting styles. My sister's very traditional. But we, you know, we learned from each other. All right, we got more with Tia Mowry. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're kicking it with Tia Mowry some more. Charlamagne. What do you consider non-traditional and traditional? Because for me, I think traditional, a lot of that is messed up in a lot of ways. Non-traditional, in my opinion, means, and just like my character Coco on Family Reunion, I'm very much like her. It means, in my opinion, just going with the flow. You know what I mean? Not putting so many rules and regulations, you know, on your children.
Starting point is 01:20:15 You just allow them to be who they are and grow into who they are instead of dictating. At this age, you need to be away from the bottle. At this age, you need to be away from the bottle. At this age, you need to be out of the bed. At this age, you need to be, you know, doing this. Your daughter's going to be a parent until she's 12. What? Have you put your son on punishment? Like, do you believe in that?
Starting point is 01:20:38 You know, I was whooped. That's what I mean. When you say traditional, that's what I mean. I'm like, that might not have been good. Huh? When you say traditional, that's what I mean. I'm like, that might not have been good. Huh? When you say traditional, that's what I think of. Because that's how we, I grew up with a lot of discipline. And yes, yes.
Starting point is 01:20:51 And I don't think that's good. Yes. So I did. I grew up with, I mean, my mom, she was very, very strict. Still is. My dad. I grew up being spanked. Which, it's awesome and it's great, you know, to an extent,
Starting point is 01:21:08 if that's the way you want to parent, you know what I mean? But I see it differently as if you're spanking your child, in my opinion, it's because of you. Yes. It's because of you and where you are. Yes. In your head space, you're impatient. You know, you just want to get this done over with. Whereas I feel like if you don't spare the rod or yeah, if you don't, if you, if you
Starting point is 01:21:36 don't, if you don't spank. Spare the rod, spank the child. Yes. Then it takes more time. You have to talk to them. You have to explain. But I feel like there is, in my opinion, a better outcome because you're explaining and you're saying why
Starting point is 01:21:52 as opposed to, you know, just kind of hitting them. But that's just my, you know, opinion. So your sister pops them. Damn right. Your sister pops them. She right. Your sister pops them. She does. She spanks her children. But yeah, I don't. She wouldn't spank your son.
Starting point is 01:22:12 Huh? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No. If you think about it, back in the day, it took a village. They would let the aunts spank the kids. I got plenty of spanking by my aunt. We have a scene about that in Family Reunion where, you know, Madeir, Loretta Devine's character, she, you know, she, you know, brings out her belt. Yeah, the aunt's can beat you, grandma's.
Starting point is 01:22:32 And we talked about exactly what you just said. Yeah. But, you know, that was then. That was then. And I feel like this is now. And, you know, so far, it's just the way I parent. And so far, it's good. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:22:49 I don't want, not that I'm afraid of my mom, but I don't want my children being afraid of me. I agree. I don't, and that's what I mean. I want them to be able to come to me and tell me anything. Now, of course, there will be times when they're like, I don't want to tell my mom, you know what I mean? But I want them to be able to not be afraid of me. But clearly y'all were raised right, though, because y'all like two of the few
Starting point is 01:23:12 child stars who didn't go crazy. I know. I know. That we know of. I know. We don't know what happened behind closed doors. Y'all might have had a little crazy spurt or something. I don't see it, though. Y'all seem pretty grounded.
Starting point is 01:23:24 We are. We're very grounded, and I do give a lot of credit to my parents. Who popped you. But no, see, it wasn't about who popped us. It was about also what they taught us. And what they would always teach us or tell us is, and I was just saying this last night, I was talking with one of my friends,
Starting point is 01:23:45 we never allowed the business to define who we are as people. And I feel like, you know, a lot of young stars, they could get caught up in that, that, you know, this business is very fickle. You know, I've been in this business for a very long time. So I've seen the waves. I've seen one minute you're hot, you're working one minute you're not and what happens is is when a lot of people get to that you know kind of fame status it goes to their head and then it starts to define who they are like um you know this because of that and it's like no no no that's very dangerous because it's it's not always going to be like that so when it drops you know fame attention money then you know they lose themselves and they lose who they are so we never I never
Starting point is 01:24:36 I never defined myself with fame you probably had the advantage of having your sister there too though to keep you grounded and keep each other grounded. Yeah. You know, it's all about, you know, like what I said, what my parents, you know, engraved in me. And then my support system. Would you want your kids to be in TV and film? Yeah. Funny, someone asked me that earlier today, too.
Starting point is 01:24:59 And my son actually did an episode of Family Reunion. Oh, wow. And he killed it. He was freaking amazing that he actually has an agent. Wow, so you paid him. Is he by the sack? Y'all paid him. Yeah, he has an agent and a manager now.
Starting point is 01:25:16 But to answer your question, I don't mind him being in the business as long as there are, you know, those regulations in regards to... I don I don't I don't want him to just depend on acting I want him to diversify like the same thing kind of like what I'm doing I have a YouTube channel Tia Mori's Quick Fix and then I'm in the culinary world I have my you know own cooking you know show and then I'm also an actor. And that keeps me working and not so just focused on, you know, acting
Starting point is 01:25:49 because there's a lot of rejection that comes along with that. And I don't want him to ever struggle in that way. So I would mind him being an actor, but I would want him to focus on other things. And at the end of the day, for me, it's as long as he's happy, as long as he has a smile on his face,
Starting point is 01:26:07 and whatever that is, then go ahead. Do you. You know, you talked about, you know, when the fame dies down, and a lot of times that leads to depression, and people start using drugs and self-medicating. Have you ever been in that space? No.
Starting point is 01:26:20 No. And again, I think it's mainly because I was supported, and my mom and my dad, they always protected us from that moment. And what I mean by protected us from that moment is prepared us for that moment. Put your money up and all that stuff like that. Yes. So save. She used to always say this. She said, you know, you're riding in limousines now, which is awesome and it's great, but it's not always going to be like that. And when you're young and you hear that, it's kind of like, why are you hating?
Starting point is 01:27:01 You know what I mean? Putting that negative energy on me. Yes, but it was the truth. And so she prepared us for those moments. So when it happened, again, it wasn't like, oh, my God, what happened? Like, she prepared us for that. And then also I had, you know, my sister. And then after the show, we went to school.
Starting point is 01:27:23 So we kept ourselves. We were never idle with our minds. You know what I mean? So when we were done with that, we went to Pepperdine University. We studied, graduated. So we were always moving. All right, we got more with Tia Mallory. When we come back, don't move.
Starting point is 01:27:39 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're kicking it with Tia Mowry some more.
Starting point is 01:27:56 Yee. Oh, Tia, you know what I wanted to ask you? Because you guys have been in this business for so long and you've seen a lot of things happen from when you first started up until today. What are some major changes that you've seen a lot of things happen from when you first started up until today. What are some major changes that you've seen? And have you ever felt disrespected, like behind the scenes by a director, an agent, anybody like that? When you say major changes, you mean like within the business? Yeah, just within the business, just how people are treated and even opportunities that are
Starting point is 01:28:19 available. Huh. That's a very interesting question because, yes, I've been in this business for a very long time. I mean, there are pros and cons. You know, I think the positives that I've seen is it's nice to see that there are more black women, in my opinion, being the center of television shows. You know, Viola Davis, Kerry Washington. That's very rewarding. Yeah, Taraji to see. Do I feel like there needs to be, you know, more improvement, of course. But again, and I hate to keep on bringing it back to the show, but I think that's what's just so different and refreshing and wonderful about family reunion is that we do have this all black writer staff. Right. Because, you know, I've been on a part of four television shows, Sister Sister, The Game, Instant Mom. The Game was a little different, you know what I mean? Because we had, you know, Mara and we did have some black writers there.
Starting point is 01:29:27 But on Sister, Sister and even Instant Mom, you know, it was difficult seeing certain writers write about what they think being black or what they think of a black family is like. I hate that. And there are many times where I would voice my opinion and say, that's not, you know, I really don't like the way you're depicting or writing about, you know. The stereotypes. Yes, and there were several. So what's so awesome about this show is it's not a writer writing about a perception or an idea or an opinion or a thought of what they think a black family is like they know they know and they've lived these moments
Starting point is 01:30:14 i saw you said that loretta divine said when she's doing things that she has to make sure would my character oh say something like this oh give feedback. Have you always felt like, even when you were younger, did you feel like you had the power to do that? No. And that's what's so awesome about sitting down and just acting with Loretta is seeing her use her voice. She will not say anything or do anything that she doesn't feel is authentic to her character or just to the story. Like if a director is telling her to move or go somewhere or to pick up a plant,
Starting point is 01:30:51 she's like, why would I do that? And I had never been in a position where I would see someone have those questions. And she does it so gracefully. Again, to answer your question, I have seen some improvement in this business, but that's what I just love about this whole, this show is, and even with Netflix, I will say this, they are allowing us to be authentic to our culture.
Starting point is 01:31:18 They are allowing us to talk about church, talk about, you know, baptisms, talk about, you know, how important church is to, you know, black culture. But it's also coming from a real grounded place. Right. And they're allowing us to tell stories like we talk about police brutality in some of our episodes with my sons on the show. We talk about gender roles about, you know, just because you're a boy doesn't mean that you have to, you know, play, you know, sports and be a football player. You know, my son loves to bake. And that's kind of like another thing, traditional versus non-traditional. I'm very much that way in real life, too.
Starting point is 01:32:07 Like, if you see my children, their names are Cree and Cairo, and it's very unisex, both of their names. Cairo could be either a boy or a girl. Cree could either be a boy or a girl. And I'm all about that as well, just letting kids evolve and being who they want to be here.
Starting point is 01:32:24 I've seen parents freak out because their son put on the mom's heels or something like that. Yeah. But it's kind of just like they're not thinking I want to be my... I don't want him to sprain his ankle. It's not hard to walk in heels if you don't know how to walk in heels. If their daughter does it,
Starting point is 01:32:40 they don't have a problem. It's like, oh, that's cute. I don't let my daughter put on Tim's on because they'll fall. They'll be putting them big-ass shoes on. Anyway. That's what it's about. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:32:49 So, yeah. Question. Yeah. It was always a rumor that y'all converted Mase back in the day. Y'all are the ones that made Mase leave Rap and go to Christiana. That was such a long time ago. I have to really think back. I don't think it was us that converted Mace.
Starting point is 01:33:08 I think we were just there around that time. Do you get what I'm saying? Yeah, they said y'all met on a video set. We did. We met on a video set. Started hitting him with Bible scriptures and he cried. No. Okay, I made that part up.
Starting point is 01:33:21 See? What are you talking about? I did hear that y'all helped convert him. Maybe you did. No, I made that part up. See? What are you talking about? I did hear that y'all helped convert him. Maybe you did. No, I don't. Maybe I did, and I don't know that I did, but we were just being ourselves. He maybe said it in a song.
Starting point is 01:33:37 He did? No, I'm kidding. Oh, see? I think it was just refreshing for him to see. You know what I mean? He was probably at a bad time at that time, and he needed you guys in his life. Yeah, and so we, you know, here we are. Like you said, giddy.
Starting point is 01:33:50 You know, here we are. Just we, I try to see the positive in everything. Are y'all religious people? No, I don't. No, yeah, I haven't spoken to him in a long time, huh? Are y'all very religious people? Religion. You're spiritual, not religious.
Starting point is 01:34:05 Okay. So religion, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're spiritual, not religious. Okay. So religion, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're so scared of your mom a little bit. That's why you have to say it right. Yeah. You believe in God, but probably not organized religions. I believe in God. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:16 But one thing that I love about Coco, like the character that I play, like I said, she's very much like me. I respect all religions. Yes. play like I said she's very much like me I respect all religions yes and there's something in every religion that I'm fascinated with so in my opinion I I just I think it's all amazing and beautiful I you know what I mean yeah your sister was on the real and she said that your parents got divorced. Yes. Has that affected you? And your lady is too, right? Yes.
Starting point is 01:34:48 No. And I will say this. I feel like in religion, some people say you shouldn't, you know what I mean, get divorced and really. People stay together just because. Exactly. So the reason why I have not been affected is because they are both happy. Dope. They are so happy.
Starting point is 01:35:06 And they got divorced recently? It was maybe a few years ago. I would say maybe like seven, five to seven years ago. How long were they married? They were married for a very long time. I would say like 30-something years. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:19 But, you know, they're cordial and they're both very happy. So if I can see that my parents are happy, that's all that matters. How was it growing up? Were they fighting? Was it a lot of tension? Nope, not at all. You know, my mom and my dad, they had a beautiful marriage. You know, some people, they just get older and they, you know, they grow.
Starting point is 01:35:43 And they wait for the kids to grow up too sometimes. They're like, okay, the kids are all grown up. Yeah, could be. My parents waited until we graduated from college to get divorced. Oh, wow. We're done. And if they're happy, then I'm happy. And it's not like we're not a family or a unit anymore.
Starting point is 01:36:00 And we were older, so maybe that could be why. Tia has to go, guys. Gosh, you guys, thank you so much. And you guys definitely have to support, support, support, support, support the show. Yes, that's how the trailer is. So, I'm excited to watch it. All right.
Starting point is 01:36:13 Well, it's Tia Mowry. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Chopsticks. Schoolboy Q featuring Travis Scott. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Schoolboy Q is still here. Yee. Well, it. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:36:25 Schoolboy Q is still here. Yee. What means a lot to you now? You talk about you want this album to be number one again, right? You want to have another number one album. But what else matters to you when it comes to the awards and everything else? Does anything matter? Awards don't matter to me, dog.
Starting point is 01:36:39 Reviews don't matter to me no more, dog. Because I've always been a highly reviewed artist. Like everything, especially Blankface, dude. Because I've always been a highly reviewed artist. Like, everything, like, especially Blankface, dude. That joke was like 8 out of 10 everywhere. 9 out of 10 everywhere. A minus, A plus, A minus. That shit didn't do nothing. So I'm like, bruh.
Starting point is 01:36:55 All you niggas, dog. Who are you niggas? Like, where you niggas at? All you niggas that's reviewing this shit, why you niggas ain't at the show? Like, where you niggas at? When I play this shit, you niggas be loving. Why you niggas ain't going up at the show? That's why you at? When I play this shit, you aint be loving. Why you aint going up at the show? That's why I be playing all the turn up.
Starting point is 01:37:08 You get what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. You play the album for your daughter before you turn it in and everything and see what she turns up to. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:14 She always like the catchy stuff, you know? She don't really care for anything introspective. She's having a good time. popping something. She love violence
Starting point is 01:37:23 and shit too, so she like G Herbo and shit. You know what I mean? Before every soccer game, we got to play Swervo. I fuck with G Herbo, obviously. I introduced her to him. How old is she? She's nine.
Starting point is 01:37:36 She'll be 10 tomorrow. You don't think that's a little too much for a nine-year-old? Nah, my daughter a gangster, bro. I don't sense nothing from my daughter. All that rated R shit, go watch it. Let's go. Do you explain to her? Yeah, that's how you got here.
Starting point is 01:37:50 So you don't feel like there's nothing you should keep her from early on? No, nothing. That's how you was raised? Yeah. Okay, gotcha. Yeah, you know what I mean? Let her see what's happening. Let her know it's real.
Starting point is 01:37:59 Does she go to regular school? No, she do homeschool. Oh, okay. She's like way advanced. What made you decide homeschooling?, okay. So she's, like, way advanced more than, like, regular kids. What made you decide homeschooling? I'm going to put it like this. My daughter hates school, right?
Starting point is 01:38:11 She hated it. She would always start off good in school, and then she'd start chilling down, chilling down. Did she fail? No, she never failed nothing. But it would be like, oh, it's an A student. And it's like, oh, I see. She hated it. Never really went to friends' parties. Never really went to none of that. She said she don't want
Starting point is 01:38:27 to go, so I took her out of class, put her in homeschool, and now she learned more in a few months of doing homeschool that she learned a whole year of school. Now she does. They did a test on her. I think she's like everything is on the sixth grade level. Oh, alright. In the fourth grade.
Starting point is 01:38:44 Schoolboy Q Tour coming up too? Of course, man. I got to get this chilly, bro. I got to get this chilly. I'll be gone for a few years, bro. I got to tour. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to be like B.B. King, bro.
Starting point is 01:38:55 You know what I'm saying? I'm going to be touring until I'm 80, bro. I don't give a f*** if there's 30 people in there. I'm showing up and I'm still jumping up and down. Tell you. 80. Saggy as some bulls**t, dog. How did that work with the kids at the house, though?
Starting point is 01:39:08 With your daughter, at least? She could be grown as s**t. No, I'm talking about now, Q. I mean, no, I'm good, though. Like I said, I chill for two years at a time. So, I mean, I'm home. So when I dip, it's like, oh, he's gone. You know, he'll be right back and I'm going to be back chilling, back at soccer practice,
Starting point is 01:39:25 back playing golf like I never left. You know what I mean? Why does golf give you such a peace of mind? It took me outside. Because every day for mad years, since like 2011, my whole life was be at home until something happens. I mean, watch TV or do something in the studio. Then I reached the fame point.
Starting point is 01:39:43 And now when I try to go to the store, it's like, it's good with you. Oh, such and such. You see weirdos doing like this. You get what I'm saying? And then you get, you start hiding because you don't feel comfortable going places. So now you really in the house. You get what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:39:58 And then you just walking by being to think you just Prince or something. And everywhere you go, you got your hood on looking down and you see somebody, somebody, you know what I mean? You looking away. They probably don't even know who you are, you know? But you're just like... Yeah, anxiety kicking in. Yeah, yeah. So anytime I make eye contact with people,
Starting point is 01:40:14 I'm like, you know what I'm saying? Because I just don't deal with, like, the fame part of it too well. Now, I didn't want to ask you this question, but our producer is a super huge fan. And by the way, he had on his schoolboy cute sweatshirt and he took it off. Why did you take it off? He didn't want you to think he was right.
Starting point is 01:40:29 Yeah, I was like, you're scared to just say what's up and celebrate. Rap is the only job where they do that. He came in and I said, oh, you wore your schoolboy cute sweatshirt today. I see you. And he took it off. Oh, come on, man. You're going to do me like that. You're going to take the shirt off.
Starting point is 01:40:43 All right, go put it back on. Put it back on. He's going to autograph it for you, dog. Come on, man. You're going to do me like that. You're going to take this shirt off. All right, go put it back on. Put it back on. He's going to autograph it for you, Daniel. I was trying my hardest not to have to ask you this question, but he texted it to me because he's a super fan. Okay. And I know you get this question every single time. There he goes.
Starting point is 01:40:55 He really got that joint. He loves it. He wears it all the time. My man. He's legendary. That's right. So he wants to know about the Black Hippie album. Is that ever coming?
Starting point is 01:41:08 Oh, no, dude. Bro, we 30-something years old, bro. He texted it to me, and then he goes, look at your phone. Look at your phone. Man, hey, look. Black Hippie is probably never going. I keep saying it over and over again, bro. No matter how much y'all want it, bro, the chances of us all getting in the studio at
Starting point is 01:41:24 the... Laurie, look. Check this out. If y'all want Black Hippie so much, tell one of the other'all want it, bro. The chances of us all getting in the studio at the... Larry, look, check this out. If y'all want Black Hippie so much, tell one of the other artists to start it. And then I'll send my verses in. Or I'll come to the studio. But y'all will be in the studio together anyway, though. Yeah, but we be working on our own stuff.
Starting point is 01:41:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, we don't put music out for every two years. Like, when are we going to put the Black Hippie album out? So y'all never even started it? Never. Never thought about trying. Never came up with a title. Black Hippie was just a name that I came up with for when we're
Starting point is 01:41:52 all on a song together. I just didn't want the s*** to be like Kendrick Lamar, Abso, J-Rock, Skawo. You get what I'm saying? It's like Black Hippie. It never was supposed to be like, oh, this is the album that's coming. I'm with it, though, but I'm really not with it. But, yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:07 But I'm with it. I'm with it, but, yeah. What happened to the schoolboy? Wasn't it a schoolboy and Mack album at one point? Never, man. Never, man. Me and Rocky was going to do one. But, man, yeah, never with Mack.
Starting point is 01:42:20 Me and Mack did a lot of records. But never, never like an album we were talking about. Do you ever hesitate when female fans ask for pictures that it might be misinterpreted? Hell nah, but I just don't touch females no more. Arms around, I don't do that no more. I don't hug women no more. Me two times up when we shut that s*** down. Yeah, you have to say, I do hugs.
Starting point is 01:42:40 I don't do that no more. Now women are looking at me crazy. I'm like, wait, I thought motherf***ers was tripping on this type of shit. Y'all never wanted to be touched. Now motherfuckers is like, oh, you don't want to give me a hug? It's like, damn, I thought this was the new wave. But if she says, can I get a hug? I mean, yeah, I'm going to do it.
Starting point is 01:42:56 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But for just meeting somebody, I'm cool, bro. I don't know what's going on out here, bro. I don't know. I'm cool. I don't mess with people's kids. Like when my daughter and her friends is over, I dip. I'm telling you, I dip, bro? I don't know. I'm cool. I don't mess with people's kids. Like, when my daughter and her friends is over, I dip. I'm telling you, I dip, bro.
Starting point is 01:43:09 I dip. You can't even be in the house. That's crazy. Every now and then, it's, oh, man, I just can't do it, bro. Like, picking my daughter up with her friends for soccer practice, and I got to take the friends somewhere, and it's like, oh, bro. Now you a daddy now. That comes with the territory.
Starting point is 01:43:23 Yeah, but I'm just, I just don't feel right, man. I get what you're saying, man. Now you a daddy now. That comes with the territory. Yeah, but I just don't feel right, man. I get what you're saying, though. I got somebody else's kid as my possession right now. I'm, like, super responsible for somebody else's kid. And vice versa. I'm the same way with my daughter. Like, if my daughter's at her practice, and she's like, can I ride with such and such to her house?
Starting point is 01:43:38 I'm like, I don't know about all that. Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, that, too. Like, man, you going where? They white, too? Like, man, you going where? They white too? Like, man. We going to eat mad mayonnaise over here.
Starting point is 01:43:48 We going to eat all the mayonnaise. Just some weird shit. Why they can't come to our crib? Man, like, I don't want to come to the crib. Like, pull up. Like, I don't want to come here. I'm going to just go. I'm going to just dip.
Starting point is 01:43:59 Are you answering DMs? Hell no. DMs is a joke. Nah, that's fake, man, because you might get hit with a... Don't say it. Yeah, you might get hit with a thing. What about if they have a blue check
Starting point is 01:44:12 and somebody that... No? You can't answer the blue check? Don't even do it to yourself. You don't need to... I'm a good man, dude. I'm a good, faithful man, dude. I'm loyal to my daughter and shit.
