Hell, Okay, there's nobody out there that got the balance. We do ratchetness and righteousness, the ying,

I don't even worry about it. I might get a little gasy, but I don't fart in my clothes. Okay, all right, well, let's get the show crack. I don't even know why I said that. I don't know either, but front page news. Let's talk Black History Month and Chicken. I don't like you.

I don't even know why that was necessary. Why why do you even do that? You snap? We'll get to it. It's the breakfast clock the morning. Yeah, I like that. That's tough. Drop on a clues box from NICKI, Na, that's tough. Nicky and little Baby moon walked on that one. They moon walked on that one. They moon walked on that one. That's tough. That is that is tough. Nothing nothing left to see here, folks. All right, well let's get that one. Let's get in some front page news

all right. Now. The twenty twenty two NBA All Star Reserves, the whole actual squad, has been released right now, East Coast starters Kevin Durant. We knew that, the Greek freak, Joel Embiid, Trey Young, and DeMar De Rosen. That is the East Coast Stars, West Coast Stars. Lebron, James h Nicola, Juck. That's not say his last name, right, that's right, A big joker, joker. I call him the joker I can't pay too, Andrew Wiggins, Steph Curry and Jay Morant, which

is pretty dope. So it's gonna be a job Morant man Job Morante. Get the South Carolina kid name, right, you say Jay Morant, Job Morant, John Moran. That's a South Carolina young man right there. Yeah, so it looks like it's gonna something. I'm surprised prize LaMelo Ball didn't make it. That's a lot of people saying he deserved to be there. LaMelo Ball. Is he on the reserves? He might be in the reserve, He's not a reserve.

Not a reserve. Yeah, that's your star. There's now the NBA reveals a new, redesigned Kobe Bryant Trophy for the All Star Game. It's all crystal. It looks pretty dope. So the new Kobe Bryant Trophy of Water to the Kia NBA All Star MVP, which is pretty pretty dope and in memory of Kobe Bryant. I think that's pretty dope. Absolutely. Also, weather, we got to talk weather. The weather is going to

be disgusting now. They're saying Wentham storm here Northeast, after bringing dangerous conditions and power outages to South and Midwest, is saying more than ninety five million Americans are under winter weather warning. So they're saying be careful. It's say the storm is expected to deliver a mix of ice, sleet, and freezing rain too major cities including New York City, Boston, Rhode Island, Philly, a whole bunch of New Mexico. It's

gonna be nasty out there. They're saying people are gonna get in at least a foot of snow in some areas. That's saying power outages for five hundred thousand pluck and that's in areas from Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Texas and Tents and Tennessee. So they believe it's gonna be raining snow for records broken, So be careful, stay home at home if you can. I know, myself. I already got, you know, a text from the kids school saying they're gonna do virtual today just because of it. Yeah, my

kids too. They I think they scheduled for late later arrival, but they'll probably end up canceling it all together. Mother Nature went out there and bought some jewelry. Man. So y'all be careful because one thing about that ice, that ice don't give a damn about nobody. Okay, that ice will humble your ass whether you're driving or walking, you hear me. And I don't call it black ice because I don't understand why we gotta call that dangerous ice

black ice. All right, But boy, I tell you one thing. You step outside and you ain't paying attention to that ice, that ice will have you on your ass. Okay, You'll be looking up at the heavens ask and God why absolutely? And lastly why you won your back? Right now? It's time of the morning. And lastly, I can never pronounce Massachusetts, Massachusetts that I say, right, No, all right, well you know what I mean? How to pronounce something? All right? Well,

a school in Massachusetts called Xavian Brothers High School. It's an all boys school in honor of Black History Month. One way they like to celebrate is by highlighting a traditional meal each week, and this week is Southern black chicken. Today's lunch is gonna be fried chicken. So so for Black History Month, they're celebrating by giving the students, right, chicken.

What's the problem. I love chicken. I'm not listening to y'all. Okay, I understand that you know there's a stereotype associated with chicken, but I don't accept that stereotype. Okay, fried chicken is delicious, all right? And what if they did a survey with them kids and ask them kids what's their favorite meal, and them kids saying fried chicken. Intention matters? But I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Is there a Black History Month meal? I know I like fried chicken. Shoot,

y'all like fried chicken too. Let let let Popeyes come out with a new chicken sandwich to day and watch what happened. Okay, I'm just asking. I'm just asking. I'm just giving you the information, just giving you the news, brother, And that is front because because because I used to you know, remember we all know about the stereotype of watermelon too. Until you do research and you find that.

You know, watermelon was actually considered a luxury item, and you know, Black people made a whole lot of money off watermelon back in the day. So the stereotype came from um uh, racist white people calling us watermelon pickers. So they were just trying to insult us because we was getting that money off of watermelon. So we let them put a negative stereotype on something that put a

lot of money in our pockets back in the day. Okay, So it's the same thing with fried chicken if you ask me, I don't know who came up with that stereotype, but everybody loves fried chicken. Everybody. Well, get it off your chest. That's why it's not a Black history meal. But get it off your chest. D five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent phone lines a wide open, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club, Wake up, wake up,

What do you do when you buy a four hundred and fifty million dollars yacht, right and nothing like that? And then it doesn't go under a bridge, so you can't even get it to where you needed to do. So what do you do? Well, that's what happened to Jeff Baso. Shut up. He purchased a don't care fifty

million dollars super yacht. We don't give a damny, and he can't get it through under a bridge. So what did he do? As the Dutch city of Rotterdammy ask him to please this man to the historic bridge so he could get his super yacht through. How about he fly a plane? How about he fly a helicopter? Why you gotta fly the boat. If you know the boat can't get under the bridge, then buy something that can go over the bridge. You got all that money, Jeff Beasos,

You can't fly the boat. You gotta he has to go in water. What you're saying, pick up the boat? Find him a device that can actually pick it up in well, buy a submarine. Buy a submarine and go into the goddamn water. How about that? All right, I'll get a smaller boat. Okay. I don't care about then rich people problems. Okay, I'm just giving you a little information. I thought that was interesting. Rich Imagine Jeff Basos, Imagine Jeff Beaso is trying to convince me that's a problem

this morning. Hey man, you know what I'm really going through. Man, I got this for dre to fifty million dollars YAD, and I'm just trying to get into this bridge. I'm just gonna buy the whole bridge and just man to the whole bridge just to get my boat through. But on the bright side, that will bring some jobs, right because you're gonna have to pay some people to this

man to the bridge. I would put it back together absolutely. Yeah, look at that creates some jobs, But it's gonna be inconvenience a lot of people, I'm sure, unless that's a bridge that nobody really uses. I don't don't know anything about the bridge. I don't even know what you're talking about. And you say Dutch city. When you say Dutch, I think Dutch masters. What you're talking about all right now, Whoopie Goldberg, speaking of jobs, she reportedly will lose one

hundred and ninety two thousand dollars. Now, that's because she was suspended for two weeks for her whole Holocaust comments. She's gonna lose out one hundred and ninety two thousand dollars. And people are saying that she's very upset about being suspended. She feels like she doesn't deserve to be suspended. Now, the sure just what people are saying. All right, Yet y'all want to argue with me about freedom of speech. I keep telling y'all, speech is not free. There's a

price to everything that comes out of your mouth. And you know you can't name that price. You just can't. Even if, even if you're even if your intention when you speaks not to be malicious, even when your intention to speak is not to offend, you cannot tell the person on the receiving end of those words how to feel. So if that person feels a certain way and that person could do something about it, hey they're gonna do something about it. And you got to pay the price

for your set free speech. Now, Charlemagne, you're a huge Boondocks fan. You talk about Boondocks a lot, and there's a lot of people that love Boondocks. They were excited about the reboot, but now they're saying that it's no longer gonna happen. That we hear from Cedric Yarborough as he talks about it. He didn't say this, but I, you know, out of the show, I you know, right

now not coming back. And um, I don't know if this is breaking news, but you know, we've been wanting to do the show and Sony and it's you know, they decided that they're gonna pull the plug. So, um, I don't know. Hopefully maybe one day we'll be able to revisit it if we didn't. If we don't, then that that's what that is. But yeah, I wish the show was coming back. But wow, yeah, I can confirm

that all of that is true. I don't know what the situation is with Sony and HBO Max I'd be you know, hearing it, but it just sounds like a whole bunch of corporate mumbo jumbo. I just think all of them are dropping the ball because the Boondocks is such a cultural staple and if you're wondering how I know. It's because I'm a consulting producer on the new season of The Boondocks. Am McGruder is my guy. Aaron McGruder was executive He's an executive producer on my late night

They're talking about five hundred thousand people might be losing power. They're saying there's flood watches for over ten million people.

to legalize medical marajuana. Right so, Mississippi, you can smoke h medicinal marijuana. I don't know why they just don't make it recreation or why is it so hard of a fight to make it recreational in all these states? Well, Mississippi is the thirty seven state to legalize marijuana medically. I feel like if they make it uh legal recreational and they know that they're gonna have to let a whole lot of black people out of jail who are

sitting in those jails for marijuana right now. They got those long as those long ass sentences for you know, ounces of weed less than the ouncer weed. Sometimes I think they know if they make a recreational they're gonna have to let a lot of those people out. That's my personal opinion. Okay, And lastly, all right now, this is kind of funny Georgia. They're encouraging residents to snitch

on their exes for Valentine's Day. They're saying, do you have an ex Valentine and know that they have outstanding lawrence, Do you have information that are driving h like drugs in their car, Give us a call with their location and will take care of the rest evil evil. It depends what the case is, though I'm not gonna lie. Depend what the person did. I don't think if you should, you know, call the police for any speeding tickets and

nothing like that. But you know, if you know this dude then committed to murder, you know, rob somebody or something like that, like if he did something really heinous or she did something really heinous. Yeah, bro' not that is wild. So if you have an ex that man broke your heart, that woman broke your heart. That there's nothing wrong with being an eyewitness when somebody broke your heart like that. Think about the pain that person put you through. Books all right, go get your get back.

Yeah, I think I'd rather remain anonymous, but I would just rather know, say that's beautiful on Valentine's wouldn't remain anonymous. But I know in my heart, in my heart, they said it. You could actually send the card and they said, this card comes with a set of limited edition platinum handcuffs, a free tress ptation, some pale or one night minimum

We got a special guest in the building, one of the cleanest in the game. Always welcome. How y'all doing good ahead man, First, I want to say thank you to two Change. You guys know I do these car show thing and two Chains is somebody that I call every year because he frequently buys new cars.

And every time I call him, he never is never a problem. It's never. He just says, Envy, you just gotta get a trailer to get ain't just give me his tank. He's giving me a call from the trap Museum. I feel like you messed up one of his cards. I definitely didn't mess up anything. He's very response. Okay, we told him in doing the right So I just want to say thank you, thank you. I like what you're doing. I like everything that you're doing. I like

you should be commended more like the family aspect. I like the real estate, I like the cars, I like everything. I just want to say thank you so much. A lot of times we don't say thank you enough, so I just wanted to say thank I really appreciate it. I dope Don't Sell Itself new album out today. Yes, why the title dope Don't sell Itself? Well, dope don't sell itself as a term that's been used in the streets before, but I would like to have people that

are not from the streets substitute dope for ideas. And it's just about getting out and selling something that you feel like needs to be heard. And so Dope Don't Sell Itself as my seventh project. I like to describe a project as an antidepressant. It's like the hood dope boy version of Jasmine Selliman Hotels, especially with the skits in between the songs. No for real, Yeah, the skits,

so for real, man, we had it was one night. Man, my guys were you know, they know now, but like we were all like drinking in the studio and then they started just like confessing to all type of little crimes and stuff like because I'm from where I'm from, it'd be your own, it'd be own people, you know what I'm saying. So here I am this this dude telling me, yeah, yeah, man, I had to break in the studio, and I'm like, you broke in? I was, you know, it was just like so I told him

to press record. So they were actually just man. We went through about well, I had them go through about three bottles of forty two and then after then they just started confessing all type of stuff and I used them for some skits for a DVD documentary coming out as well. The skit before Lost Kings is very deep, you know it like I played it the other night for like, you know, quave on a few guys and

you know, it makes people laugh. But it was a real situation that happened when one of the Lohomies answered the door and he got shot. But my partner did not know he was shot at the time, so when he fell on him, he pushed them like you know what I'm saying, like get all men started playing, but he really hey got shot and so then he confessed, not confessed, but he kind of told a story of you know what happened. You know, a lot of people be knowing in the neighborhood what would be going on,

but like a lot of the details came out that night. Yeah, he was the shotgun pumps he lost, he lost his whole sigh. Yeah, how much stuff did you have to take out of those skits? I took a lot of stuff out. You think about how far you come from even looking at this album cover. You got the money in the shoebox, right, that's the bank, and I know you have this whole shoebox. Thing happened in Atlanta, which we'll talk about in a second. But do you look at this and look at how far you come from

when you first started? Yeah, all the time. Man, Sometimes it's hard to believe I did some of the things I did. Honestly, man, that's how different I am than you know me when I was in my twenties. And that's why it's kind of hard for me to try to preach to somebody younger than me too, because I, you know, stole cars, I sold drugs. I did a

lot of the things. I just didn't have a rap career to talk about it at the time, you know, but I did a lot of those things, and I did a lot of those things to people I love. So I deal with those kind of you know, I wouldn't call them demons, but I deal with that like a survivals remorse, because it's like you, you survived, but you know you also, I guess, did things you didn't want to have to do to survive the people that

you probably care about none. That's what I explained trapping, like when I come trapping is because I lived in a neighborhood that sold drugs, Like the whole neighborhood sold drugs. And this I explained it to people that if I stayed in Colorado, I would probably know how to ski, you know what I'm saying, And I'm gonna go try to do that. But stay in Hawaii, I would probably maybe know how to serve if that was like the

thing to do. But in my neighborhood, these people are hustling and it seems normal, but at this time it's not nothing you brag about. But then you know, like I've been literally filling out money order since I was in the tenth grade, like helping my mom and pay Georgia power in different bills based off hustling. So we've always had a very transparent relationship. She always knew what

I was doing. But now the survivor's remorse with me is just trying to figure out a way that some of my friends who still may be in a black market hi, I can bring them up because some of my friends don't care about music. I wanted to ask you too, man Like, it's one of the reasons you give back to the community so much because of you know, the way you used to live in the street. Yeah,

because didn't nobody do that for me. The only person, let me say this right way, My MoMA had like a couple of boyfriends, right you know what I'm saying. They each taught me something different. A couple of them with droid dealers, you know what I'm saying. But it was one that wasn't a droid dealer. He was more like a roofer. And I was doing what I do in the streets, trapping, and the guy used to buy my pack sometime so I wouldn't have to do it. I don't know why he did that, but he's no

longer living. And he used to call me kill all the time. That's the reason I say killer all the time to people that's close to me. And it's like I just put a positive connotation on the word kill them and trap in dope. If you just look at me, I know where I came from. So now when I say certain things or do certain things when I have a traphouse, I ain't selling dope out of and I'm selling art out of it, and I'm trying to pass that. So it's like I'm slowly but surely, like you know,

creating my little legacy. All right now, when you touched on this a little bit earlier your marketing mind, because that is definitely something I noticed. Every time you roll out an album, you have something going on. So with this one, you have the sneaker box. Is that what it is? That's that's in the city, So tell us about what that is. So the shoe box, basically to make it full circle, like Ludicrous was the first person to get me a bank account. My first bank account

was the shoe box. It was my life. If someone had that shoebox, it was all that I had before the Crown roll your bag Okay, well I used to have money in the Crown roll your bag in the okay, And so like the thing about money is when you're from streets, once you get one hundred, you try to like not spinning under it, and then once you get a thousand, like if you have a thousand and one hundred, you just keep one hundred and staged a thousand, and then you get like once you get to like twenty

five hundred, you kind of like straight, you know what I mean? You can buy some shoes, you know what I mean? And so I built up that shoe box. But it was a conversation that I had with the lay Virgil Ablow doing Rapper go to the League, whether this idea came from. And it's really unique that he's no longer here. And it's also unique that this is ten years separated from Based on a True Story, which

is my first album, which Virgil actually created. So it's almost like, you know, he didn't do this, but like he's so cruel. I'm getting so much good feedback. I just wish he was, you know, around you know what I'm saying, because it just feels like, you know, a full sucker moment. This idea I've been I've been had this idea for like three years and it's one of those dub ideas, like why didn't I think of that?

It's kind of like my two Chains cover. When he brought it to him, I'm like, damn, I'm two chains and out of even think to just put two chains on my couple. We got more with two chains where we come back, don't move. It's to breakfast club the Morning Morning, everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we all the breakfast club was still kicking it with two chains. You said, this is your last trap album. Why, well, this is the last time that I will be putting

all of this stuff in one place. It's not my last time recording trap music. The next album out of this is Colleague Grove Too with Wayne and you know that sounds like you're listening to it in the metaverse. It's really really different, you know. And then the one after that would be the one with Status Selected that I've been trying to put out so I could just see me shine somewhere where I'm just really homing in on my just really bars and wrap skills and just hire.

But I still have my trap stuff in there because I can literally do that blind fold. You know, this is what I do. I come from that. But I'm just you know, I'm offering and I've got to show my growth and maturation, and I'm just I got something else to offer. I won't necessarily be on you know, melodic stuff, and I still need to work a nutbag, but just really rapping simple bass. You know, eight oway s done album. Is that gonna be a dune album?

I'm doing a dune. I'm definitely doing it. I'm definitely doing a dune. I'm definitely coming that way. I definitely got my own version of just really getting my ideas. One of the most slept on verses last year, it was two Chains on that asy record, Motor Roller Era, and that's what made me say to myself, I want to hear him do a whole album like this with them done sunbeats. Yeah, that's why I'm static. He sent

that to me. Yeah, he sent that and then and it was just an instrumental and I said, so what you want me to start it off? And he was like, yeah, And so I did that. That's actually I think it might be this year. I did that. But yeah, I'm I'm I came up the symbol. Yeah, it was really earlier. But I'm a fan of stuff like that. You know, some people just don't be knowing I get down that way, like, I can, I can, I can done it, I've done it.

Let's play. Let's play that this morning. Many that I'm gonna ask you, how was your first concident in the metaverse. How was that you have to record that in the metaverse like how did that happen? Like how was that? So shout out to my booking guy Leaks. He booked something right, doing the pandemic right, they're telling me I'm about to go to Tabernacle right and perform in front of nobody. And now the concert that I just saw myself. I recorded it a year. You know, prior, I just

didn't know what the hell I was doing. But I just know that, you know, honestly, it was a bag involved and I'm like performing, you know what I mean. So I mean it was real. I got my DJ, I got a band, you know what I'm saying. I'm own stage, I do a whole interview, and you know, man, I'm my only child, so you know, I think that helps with my creativity and me just you know, everything from imaginary friends to whatever the hell I need to do.

And so I go them where mentally where I see people in the crowd, but I don't see nothing but maybe about they look like gold procams but they weren't. But like maybe five or ten of these little cameras, and I performed, and I played these cameras and I'm like, you know, and I do this whole show. Forget all about it. So broom, you know what I'm saying. They brayed me this this oculus. I mean, I've been hearing

about the metal verse way of through. I've been hearing all about it, and uh, I put them on and some kind of way they you know, he's showing me it is not even mine, it's my boy. I'm looking in the mirror and it's it's his. You can see yourself in the mirrors. So when I walked through into the portal, I see me and the dude tim of them. I forgot you got a concert. I was like, I got a concert or not of it. And so I walk in and then you know, I see me performing.

So I'm driven and I'm like, and I hear people, you know, yeah, hey, well you know it's two changs in here. Hey, you know. And I'm looking at people and you know you can get people a pound in the metal verse, you know. And I'm really just trying to just really steal wrap my head around it. And I meet a guy he's like, oh, you know, dude walking, what's up? But he don't know him too change because I got somebody else aclis on and like What's I mean you like to change. I'm like, yeah, I like

to change. Do you like to change? He's like, no, not really right now. I was just stopping through though. I was just stopping through though. And then I was like, oh, okay, where you from. He's like CALLI. I'm like you smoke. He's like, nah, I got this hennessy. So I see this dude in the metaverse like trying to go in his pocket, but you know, you can't pull nothing that I see him trying to, you know, And I was like, what you like? He's like, I like underground music. You

probably wouldn't like what I like. And I was like, what, you know? You know what you like? And he named a couple of groups that I wasn't, you know, really familiar with. But you know, it was an experience for me to see me and you know, I'm yelling at me too, like Tony, you know, and I'm just like, I ain't staying that. So it was a cool experience. Man, that's the future, y'all got colleague grow too. You said it's gonna sound like it's in the metaverse, because wayn't

have any idea what the metaverse is. Way ain't been in the metaverse. Man, it's funny because he out the first way he says the oculist on it. So like Wayne is, Man, I don't know he's super duper intelligent. I think he just don't watch the news and stuff like that, so he has to get this information from, you know, a different source. How the album, I mean, of course, but now it's done, it's getting mixed right now. Okay, have a total of fifteen songs. Don't don't sell itself.

It's twelve songs, and so it's a total of thirty five minutes. So that project, the one I'm putting where the one that's out right now is m A D H D approved. You know what I'm saying. It's concise, it's to the point. It's it's like I said, antidepression. The one with Wayne and myself is a little bit longer. I want to know how you and Wayne relationship has grown over the last you know, decades. Y'all have been partners for so long, and I'll never forget when you

first went number one, did damn ye? A decade ago? A decade ago? And Wayne was like what because he just knew me, Like you just gotta know what that relationship was. I was somebody that was around a lot of times and never you know, was acting like a rapp up. That's a term like I never was, Like I was in the studio doing a bunch of those projects and never got into booth one time, you know what I mean. So he's probably surprised. Did you respect you as the artist? Now? Yeah, okay, we got so much.

Look it's been reciprocated because I remember back then I was so What happened was I was hanging with him. I rode with him to the studio and I was like, you know, I'm in this group. Play a circle, you know what I'm saying. And I played some player circle music on the way to the studio, and I remember then then he was saying, I don't want to throw people on the bus. But he was saying some good things then about what should have been going on. Yeah, well, no,

he thought Dogar was hard, too hard. He always thought dollar was hard. He was more or less like the situation I was in at the time. I could have been doing more for me. I want to flash back to something you said a little earlier about being an only child, and you mentioned imaginary friends. So you had imaginary friends ground. I mean, you're nothing to make this clickbait. No talks about his talking abou I'd be having to answered this the next day. I'd be seeing that stuff. Man, boy,

people be getting they selling some trouble. No, I'm not about to do Gi Jos and you playing with the name luck by the time. Man, see, I was forsed to kind of act like I was a man younger than what I was. I was staying at home when I was twelve, with the pellet gun that you pumped. And yeah, I had my little russell men a little hold holding all them little men. But yeah, but I stayed with when I was like fire to like seven

years old. I stayed with my older cousins. My dad told my mom that, you know, back then, they thought women can raise me. And for real, you know what I'm saying, like, because they weren't me. And that was my dad like shooting over you know, and you know he wasn't even around. He's somewhere in trouble. So he telling her, let him stay with my cousin. Let me let me get tough, you know what I'm saying, toughing

me up and that's exactly what they did. And one day I was playing and they go, man, damn club put the little man. They don't took me a little man and threw them in trash. I slick, you be talking about talking to folk? I slick, ain't never got over it yet. From dn on, I just thepy Yeah, man, folk threw away my me and my love. Yeah and uh and from then on, man, you know, you know, I started growing up being more tough, acting like, you know, act like I'm bigger than what I am, like probably

all kids like now look at kids. I'm like, I remember when I was you know. Here you know what I'm saying. I keep it lock. We got more with two chains when we come back. We talked about this earlier. This is azy and two chains, Motorola error. It's the breakfast Club the morning morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we all the breakfast club was still kicking it with two chains. Charlomagne. I love how you talked your wife how to say task. Yeah. I ain't teach

her that. She from an aide, right, yeah, she fromt the man. My wife is super duper chill man she was. She really not like turned or listen to involve her kids. You know what I'm saying. It's just like an animal instinct, I think with a lot of females man once the kids getting involved. So I happened with the with the uber.

I know that you posted something with driver and what happened I can't even really speak on or now, but it's it was cold, it was snowing, the driver said something that she felt was disrespectful, you know what I'm saying, and then he wanted her to get out it, so she won't get out, you know what I'm saying, until she got to where she wanted, you know, to be. It was her and her mom and my kids, my kids at a volleyball tournament and they you know, just

and it was snowing. So you know, I had a driver there, but he wasn't you know, driving in the snow, or wasn't any parking or something. So that's how they end up even getting an uber because that's something that she probably wouldn't normally, do you know what I mean. So my daughter was the one. It's because it's more videos, It's plenty more videos. Daughter was the one that ended up being smart enough to record everything so it will fix it. Yet, y'all, Yeah, they reached out, but they

just want to hear her side. We already got the receipts as far as the videos, and I don't know, I ain't talking about I'm not feeling like I also see about your whole team rolexes during the pandemic and rolex prices up. How many Rolexes did you? Did you? Did you purchase? So this is where the idea came from. I had a ten year anniversary for True Religion, my mixtape Classicly some of those people were with me ten years ago, so it was really overdue, you know what

I'm saying, It was really overdue. And then I also I've been praying to be not as selfish as the only child. I think I'm just selfish because I'm always thinking, first of all, no one did this for me. Second of all, what can you do for me? But now it's just like I just want to just help people. So I knew that this would make some people's morale

feel better and show that I appreciate it. So I bought a total of fourteen brand new boxing paper because I got all kinds of d ms from your favorite stars and managers, like they couldn't find no ro Lexus. But it was just something that was overdue to show my appreciation and dope, don't tell us, ab I just want to ask a question, because you know, I always love to fund to chain songs and we could dance you in the club. But what about a song like los Kings? What does a song like that mean to you?

I think he's needed though, you know, for me, I think songs like that needed. You just speak on a lot of fallen soldiers. Man. People be dying so much. Man, people be dying so much that literally it has to be heartbreaking for you to cry these days. Like literally people don't even well. I don't believe in crying anymore. So I wanted to, you know, pay homage to them. You. Dolph had a real solid relationship. You know, Dolphin are real cool. I met him, he was I was one

probably his first feature. I was in Atlanta and druma boy call and say, you know, he had an artist that wanted to give me like at this time, I ain't had him. I was trying like three thousand four, but he wanted to play a circle. He wanted Mellon Dollar. But you know, like at this time, well I had started rapping full time. I think Dollar was doing both, you know what I mean, one foot in, one foot out. So I'm like, Doll, I'm about to go to this studio.

You know, I got this dude from Memphi. He wanted to spend some money, so, bro, like, I got to play to make you know what I'm saying, I'll be down there when I get through. And so I go down and I meet you know, dog, real cool, cool player from Memphis. You know what I'm saying, laid back, you know what I'm saying. At this time, we're doing the same things, drinking lean and smoking gas, you know what I'm saying. And like I just, you know, really

wrought with his energy. So I did a song with him, and I did it so fast and we weren't no Dollar, and he never came because he was doing whatever he was doing. I end up doing another verse, and I told him I ain't want to get paid for it, Like I don't. You know what I'm saying, I'm straight and from Dano. Every time he went to Memphis, we would eat at Benny Hanna's and he would come to my show because Memphi was one of my original like put me on spots and so on. I was down there.

Literally at one time I had three shows in one night in Memphis. That's how many bags I was getting. So you know, he will always pull up. And then you know, he started turning up to heat. You know what I'm saying. He started rocking with some of the folks from my team Tech and you know, a street his ex and he started growing and you know, just resting Pista, you know him, and you know, I always

wonder man. You know, just as far as like PTSD when you see situations like Dolf, Nip, see brothers that you know just in rap, like you know that has happened to you as a rapper. Did that all come back when you see those situations and how we probably could have turned up, Well, it'd be a lot of uh.

Like with Nip, it was some pictures and stuff that you forget about that started coming up when stuff like that happened and be like damn, I don't know dog, you know, or with Dolf you started like thinking like damn. Or even with bank Roll, you started thinking though, and we're using it. So that was a unique way to put that because talking about people that we grieve that are like my route peers, not even like regular. Yeah, so it's rough, and you'd be like, man, I can't

believe it. That'd be the real That would be that part right there, that not being able to digest it even post funeral, you know what I'm saying, being like just not being able to digest that. It's really it's really interesting to me. Let's talk about the recul million dollars worth a game. That's my favorite. I think that's my favorite song on the albums. Okay. So I went to um Little Baby studio one night to do a

song with him, and I just left Bahamas recording. Man, I was just really feeling myself and uh, this beat came on and Little Baby I started like, you know, writing too, and I was like, man, you mind if I He was like nah, bro going up. So I did this verse. When I came out, Little Baby was like laying down resting. I ain't know if he was sleep or resting. Doug went in just like right out to me. He didn't even want to him my verse.

He just went in right out to me. And I love that from like young players like that that just shows signed a confidence, you know what I'm saying. So he goes in, does this verse, and then by the time he does his verse, I no longer think that babies resting. I think maybe he might be sleeping. I'm not sure. I end up leaving, just like walking out leaving,

and they end up using that beat. Him and Dirt end up using that beat them me in for the two wrap down on their project, you know what I'm saying. And so I had to source the same tempo and then you know, I put them I put this song together like that and it just sounds refreshing and real exotic, like you know, everything just happens for a reagon. So I end up doing two songs a little Baby Studio that they got credit for. One was the song I got with him called Kingpin ghost Writer, and then the

other song get is doing what I mean dolls worthy game. Well, the album is out right, now, let's play a joint off the album. What you want? What you want to edge? The joint that I wanted to hear off the album is kings. I think we can do that. Let's do it all right, Well, there you have it. Make sure you stream the album right now, dope, don't sell itself and it's two chains. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We

are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kanye West. It's about is the rumor report? Angela Yee the Breakfast Club all right? Now. Kanye West was in New York City the other night. He was celebrating his new booze uh birthday. Julia Fox turned thirty two on Wednesday. Now, sources are saying that Kanye gifted her, as well as four of her friends Ermez Birking bags. Now, these bags range from anywhere from sources you mean Kanye's PRT.

I don't know, just as sources of saying this, sources told getting from Yeah, so they purchased five Birking bags and they range from anywhere from nine thousand to fifteen thousand. So he bought them all bags. He flew into New York City just a birthday. Hey, I have no factual evidence to back this up, But Kim don't care. Kim said, don't care, bro, I think but anyway, t Pains says

people should stop celebrating Black History Month. That he's saying that they are separating us again, and we have audio any insight, all right for how white people can can properly celebrate Black this three months? The right way, stop celebrating. How do we celebrating Black History Month? I think we have a history. I think we're overside it. We don't want our own get separate enough again. We want to be bought of history and not just one month. It's

like we want to be history. I disagree. I mean, we are part of history. I mean that's why people push back against you know, anti CRT laws so hard, so we can continue to be a part of history. But there's nothing wrong with us having our own month and celebrating our own month. And there's nothing wrong with other people celebrating, you know, black folks during the month of February. Should it be longer, of course, but we celebrate ourselves year round anyway. But there's nothing wrong with

having a specific month. Qu cares. I guess that's serious, all right. Now. A day ago, Young Buck he was arrested for vandalizing his ex girlfriend's home and the car. We don't have much information on that, but that's all We know he was arrested for that. But you know, fifty cent is one of those people that you just don't want to have a problem with, right because he never lets anything go. We know with Tierra Marie, I think she owes him a little bit of money and

he's not going to stop until he gets his full amount. Well, fifty put on his page buck b unit, bisexual unit. Leave that girl alone. She didn't know he had all this it's going on. Jefes did and he best be coming up with my money. Branson kognak fifty cent, lord have mercy. Well just listen, man, fifties a cancer like me. Fifties a cancer like me. He's petty and he don't

forget nothing. But you know, I choose to let a lot of that go because you know, at the end of the day, you know what I would say, say back and say at the end of the day it only impacts us, but he really don't. It actually makes us feel better when we do stuff exactly like what fifty did the buck. But I got a vibrate higher. Okay, now, also, U Ben Simmons, you know he's he's been getting a lot of uh. I guess I would say, quill'neill has been going at him, calling him a cry baby, said

he should be playing basketball, called him a bunch of names. Well, Ben Simmons got back at Shock in his DM. We don't know what he said, but he got back on Shocking and basically said he didn't like the things that Shaq was saying with him in you know, Shock pretty much said, well, if you don't like it, play basketball. Simmons hasn't played a game this season after he asked for a trade, and we don't know what's gonna happen. We don't know if he's gonna go to another team.

He later said it was meant health the reason why he didn't play, but nobody knows. But he hasn't played a game of basketball in a long term. And that is your rumor reports. Hello, Hi, what you're talking to me? Before you talking to yourself when you do rumor report? Let's hey, it's time. It's time for us to talk about rumors. Okay, talk about that report. I don't know

what to say next. Yeah, because because because after YE says that, after YE says that's our rumor report, then that's when you say Charlomagne's so you got so talk to yourself. Now do it like you're talking to yourself. Go in the room, report and go go all right, well that is your rumor report. Thank you, Envy, You're welcome. Now, Charlomagne, who are you giving that donkey to? Well? Four after the hour, we're gonna talk fried chicken. God damn it.

All right during Black History, muff Envy brought this story to my attention. And you know, there's been times I've given Donkey of the day the people who have done this in the past. But you know what I think is missing in all of these conversations historical context. Let's discuss all right, we'll get into that next. Don't move. It's the breakfast club. Goal morning, the breakfast club. Your morning's will never be the same. Our Audible pick of the day is the perfect day to boss up. This

is Rick Ross's guide to building your own empire. Now listen up your first dirty days of Audible or free when you sign up at audible dot com, Slash Breakfast FMHD one New York I heart radio station. Yeah, don't be out here acting like a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a big boy. I could take it deserve. It ain't no big deal. I know,

Charlomagney guy, go out funny seat. Say something you may not agree with, doesn't mean I mean he's getting that donkey, that donkey that don't don't don't don't don't donkey other day right there the breakfast club. Bitches, you can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean, no harm. Hey, donkey of today for Friday, February fourth, close to a Massachusetts school called Xavering Brothers High School. See, this school did something that a lot of folks continue

to do, and I'm sick of it, all right. See this school has issued an apology after deciding to offer fried chicken for lunch to celebrate the beginning of Black History. Mouf. Every single year during Black History mofa, during June teenth, something like this happens, and I'm sick of it. I'm not sick of it because they keep doing it because I love fried chicken. I'm sick of them apologizing about it. And we'll discuss why. But first let's go to seven

News Boston for the report police controversy. Now, the talk of the student body at Xaverian Brothers High School the majority white student body disagreeing over this announcement made over the loudspeaker in honor of Black History Month. One way we will celebrate is by highlighting a traditional meal each week that is a staple in southern Black history. Today's lunch is fried chicken. Honestly, I think it's just a big stereotype. Could be seen as a little racist. The

first day of Black History Month. They couldn't have come up with a better thing than fried chicken for you know, African cuisine. It's just it doesn't really make much sense. Other students saying the administration must first acknowledge that their ignorance perpetuated a racist stereotype, an issue a formal apology, the school says it was an attempt to educate students about black history and culture, and that the meal was

chosen by an African American food service employee. The announcement went on to say that some newly freed women gained economic independence by selling fried chicken. That's a fact. Now, Like I always say, you can't tell people how to react, all right, just because your intent wasn't meant to be malicious, Just because your intent wasn't meant to offend doesn't mean the person receiving what you did or said didn't receive it maliciously. You can't control how people feel about something

regardless of what your intention is. But the reason intentions matter is because it makes the person who was offended know how to deal with you, makes the person who offended you, makes the person who you offended possibly react a different way. So let's talk about the intention of this high school. Okay, a Xaviian Brothers High School. See the idea to serve fried chicken came from a black cafeteria worker, and she said it was an attempt to

educate students about black history and culture. A senior student at the school said they could have chosen a different part of African cuisine, and a lot of kids have taken the stance that it was a mistake, but there wasn't any mal intent. Okay, they could have just approached

it differently. Maybe, Okay, hindsight is twenty twenty. Even though every year, literally during Black History Month and June teenth, someone does this with either chicken or watermelon, So somebody should have learned how to properly approach this by now. Now I got a question. I want you to think about. Are you upset about the school serving fried chicken any other time or just during Black History Month? Because racial

insensitivity can't be seasonal, no matter how good it's seasoned. Okay, if serving fried chicken the black students is offensive during Black History Month of junie teenth, then we should be keeping that same energy year around. Correct, just to question the ponder. But the reason I'm giving Xavier and Brothers High School the donkey or the day, it's because the black cafeteria workers said it was an attempt to educate students about black history and culture. Well, where is the education?

They do these stunts where they serve fried chicken during Black History and month, and then when the black lash comes, the educational part goes out the window, and folks just get to apologize it without using these situations as an opportunity to teach. All right, The school's principal, doctor Jacob Conquas, says the lunch message was poorly communicated. I don't think it was communicated at all because y'all didn't even get

to the education apart. Really, the principle put out a statement he said, we are deeply troubled and disheartened by our failure in this instance and take full responsibility for it. I offer my sincere apologies for the harm that our actions may have caused. Oh my god, doctor Jacob, you know why the message was poorly communicated because you didn't communicated it. Okay, you didn't communicate it. What's the education.

I'll give you the education on fried and watermelon. The education is those are racious stereotypes because the white man deemed them so. The white man made fun of y'all eating chicken and watermelon, two things that bring us joy, okay, two things that brought us money, and because the white man put a negative connotation on it, now y'all accepted as negative. Okay, But y'all supposed to be free thinkers.

Everybody loves fried chicken, all right, but it held a different level of importance for enslaved black folks because it was the only livestock the enslaved were allowed to keep, all right, being the only livestock they were allowed to keep. Okay, all right, I'm from the South, South Carolina. All day, Monk's corner, what's happening? I was out there with my grandma chasing the chicken, all right. I watched my Grandma, catch chickens and snap the neck and we ate good.

All right. Fried chicken is a staple of sovereign diets. I told y'all, only livestock slaves could keep was chicken, and chicken was cheap and they were easy to feed in a good sauce of meat. And like the news reports said, after emancipation, black women, knowing his waiter carriers would sell trades of fried chicken and biscuits. So not only did we eat it, we ate off it by

making money from it. And then in nineteen fifteen came this racist ass movie called Birth of a Nation by a cracker named D. W. Griffith, and the movie was about to suppose the heroic founding of the KKK. And one scene in the movie showed a group of actors playing black elected officials. Listen to me, a group of actors playing black elected officials. Oh, they had the black legislators drinking whiskey out the bottle, putting their bare feet

on the table, just niggas and nigging all right. The picture they were trying to paint is that black people were unorganized and untrustworthy. And one of the black politicians was going to town on a chicken bone, I mean, chomping at it, treating it like trick daddy, and many of us treat our ladies booty, all right, And that one image forever changed how white people saw black people

and fried chicken. The other not so subliminal message in that scene, since they were black elected officials, was these are the dangers of letting black people vote. And that is when fried chicken became a racist stereotype. So y'all, let a racist white man tell y'all how to feel about something that everybody loves and something that our ancestors used to really make money off, because you know, don't

nobody fried no chicken like us. Okay, those white folks traveling on those trains couldn't wait to see those way to carry us those black women with trades of chicken and biscuits. And while we're here, let's discuss watermelon. Okay. There's a great article in the Atlantic, you can look it up yourself, from William R. Black. It came out like eight years ago, and I want to read just

a couple of quotes from it. The stereotype that African Americans are excessively fond of watermelon, emerged for a specific historical reason and served a specific political purpose. The trope came in full force when slaves won their emancipation during the Civil War. Free black people grew eight and sold watermelons, and in doing so made the fruit a symbol of

their freedom. Suffering whites, threatened by black's newfound freedom, responded by making the fruit a symbol of black people's perceived uncleanliness, laziness, childness, and unwanted public presence. This racist trope then exploded in American popular culture, becoming so pervasive that its historical origin became obsolete. All right, few Americans in nineteen hundred would have guessed the stereotype was less than a half a

century old. This is all after emancipation. Okay, black people grew eight and sold watermelon during slavery, But now, when they did it, it was a threat to the racial order. Listen to this, it's important, all right. Go read the article. To whites, it seemed now as if blacks were flaunting their newfound freedom, living off their own land, selling watermelons in the market, and worst of all, enjoying watermelon together in the public square. Sovereign whites saw slaves enjoyment of

watermelon as a sign of their own supposed benevolence. They was just mad that niggas was happy and free. Let me break this down simple and plaine. Fried chicken made black people happy, and it made black people money. Watermelon made black people happy, and they made black people money. Racist as white people don't like black folks happy and they don't like black folks making money. It's really that simple,

drop on the clue's bombs for racist white people. Okay, drop it, y'all a beast, all right, the way y'all psychologically have ruined so many of us and got us hating ourselves and hating things that we have historically loved, all because y'all said, so, that's it, And that's the education and history of our culture that's missing. So when these schools and organizations put these things on the menu,

let's you use them as an opportunity to teach for real. Okay, you only think fried chicken and watermelon is a racist trope because the white man made it. Such. When you see fried chicken and watermelon, you should see survival. When you see fried chicken and watermelon, you should see freedom. You should see products that not only tasted good, but products your ancestors used to make money. That's it, period, zav and brother This high school, y'all missed the moment

to really teach and teaching and learning. It is truly what Black history muff should be about. Please let the Hamletones gives David and Brothers High School the biggest he hall. Oh, now you are the dogge the day, the dog gee oh the day. Ye all right, Charlemagne, thank you for that dog here to day. That's right? Oh? Man, who we got coming in next? Man? Ah, we have Nieja Tawap joining us next right, Oh, I listen. I love her her book as a game changer. It's called Set Boundaries,

fine piece, a guide to reclaiming Yourself. I had her on my late night talk show The God's on his True Flash Year, and I am glad she is on The Breakfast Club this morning, because twenty twenty two is all about setting boundaries. Can't wait to talk to her. All right, we'll get into that next. It don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. She's a licensed therapist, a relationship expert, and the New York

Times best selling author Nedra To wob welcome. Good morning has blessed my life because you came on the Gods on his Truth last year. And I knew going into twenty twenty two that I wanted to set boundaries, but I didn't know what that looked like. And so I read your book Set Boundaries, Find Piece, a Guide to reclaim in yourself. And now I have learned to set boundaries. I thoughted, say, cut people off, but I know that's not a good thing, right, Yeah, I've learned how to

set boundaries. Yeah, so thank you for writing this book. What's the difference between setting boundaries and cutting people off? Cutting people off can be a boundary, but it is not the only way to have boundaries. It is also you need to wear a mask until you come into this room. It is also be back here at nine pm. There are so many ways to set boundaries, not just

cutting folks off. But if you are setting a boundary for something or that means for whatever reason, that person is not being a positive force, a positive energy in your life. Correct. It isn't easy just to be like I just don't want you the more. It doesn't mean they're not being positive. Maybe they're doing things to make you uncomfortable. Maybe they're doing things that don't make you feel safe and you just want to change it. You may not want to end the relationship. Most people don't

want to end bad relationships. They want to repair them. So how do you repair them? You put boundaries into the relationship. You ask people to do different things, You tell them what you need and want, and that's how you're able to repair without cutting off. Now, you may want to cut people off, but there are a lot of things we can do before that. That's one of the things I heard you say that really helped me.

It's like, if you really do appreciate the relationship and do value the relationship, you'll set those boundaries not because you're trying to push somebody away, but because you are trying to keep them there. And so that's just one of the things I heard you say. I'm paraphras and

of course that really helped me a lot. Yeah, I think boundaries does give the impression that it is cutting people off, But as a therapist, most people come to therapy wanting to repair their relationships, not cut their mother off, cut their father off. They're like, how can I change my mom? How can I make her better and we start to talk about Okay, so you need to do these things. These things are boundaries, and that's how you repair the relationship. You can't make this person change, but

you certainly can change how you view the issue. You can make requests and hope that they do it, but ultimately a lot of the boundaries are going to be on you. Why are boundaries important? Why are setting boundaries important? It helps you have the sort of relationships that you want. In most relationships, we already have them, We're just unaware. Sometimes the boundaries are unhealthy, but we have boundaries in

the relationship. The boundaries help you decide like is this a relationship I want to be in or is this a relationship that I need to leave? Often we think people have to be different. How do I get this person to be different when it is us? How do we ask for what we need? Which is really hard? You know, it takes some time to be vulnerable and to say to people, Hey, when we're talking and you start getting a little elevated, that triggers me, can you keep it down some or when you start to yell,

I will take a break. They always say that, you know, we need more black people to be therapists. To be a therapist, it seems like you need a lot of patience. Is that true? I don't know when somebody telling you this this situation like all right, Harry speed with my friends. My friends would not They probably are like who you been talking to, like girl, go go. I think that therapists aren't humans, and as human as we are, different

part of ourselves in different settings. Right. So as a therapist, I can listen to you talk about the same issue every week with a friend, I may say, listen, you know this is the eighth time that you brought up this issue, right, you know have you thought about therapy? Right? But as a therapist see a therapist? Absolutely, yes, not all.

I have met some therapists who do not. I absolutely go to therapy not to talk about my clients, but to talk about all of the stuff that's happening with me, Like I have relationships that I need to work through. I have exciting things and things that aren't exciting that I need to process. So therapy for me is important. I can't imagine asking people to be vulnerable and to

share and I'm not doing that. And when people are talking about certain things, it can be very triggering, like your stuff comes up, like if you have issues with

your parents, it will come up in that session. I remember my dog died, and man, the next day, my client come being crying about her dog dying, and I was like, Okay, I gotta talk to my therapist today because I'm like, oh my gosh, Like I was already sad, but watching her be sad too, it was like, oh my gosh, Like I have a lot of stuff to process. I don't think I can go to a therapist who didn't see a therapist. Really I couldn't either. Yeah, And the last question I have is, you know, we talk

about people understanding us. Do you feel like, as a black woman, you have to speak to a black therapist or do you feel like other people will understand me? Like would you go see an Asian therapist or a white therapist or do you feel like a black therapist will understand you more? Why you do the things that you do, the way we grew up, the way we are, the way that our parents are. It depends. It depends

on your issue. If you're having I work with a lot of professionals, so if you're having racial issues in the workplace, perhaps going to a black therapist could be helpful. If you are having family issues, you want to make sure that the therapist that you're seeing has some training in working with family dysfunction, working with children of alcoholics, like all of these sort of things. So race can

be important for being able to connect. But it's also important to make sure that you're seeing a therapist who can help you with your particular issue, because you don't want to go to someone who's black, but they help people with schizophrenia like that won't be hopeful for you if you have anxiety. So making sure that it's a good match all around is really all right. We have more. We need you to wobble, We come back, don't move.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning Hoarding. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Nietsja to watch. She's a New York Times best selling author Set Boundaries her new book, and she's here Charlomane because I want to talk about chapter four in your book, when you break down the six types of boundaries, Can you talk about those? Yes?

So before writing this book, I think a lot of things about boundaries was just saying no, Like if you say no, that's the boundary. But really there are physical boundaries, time boundaries, sexual boundaries, emotional boundaries, material boundaries. What am I forgetting is that five or six? Okay? There are many types of boundaries in many ways to implement them.

We probably think of sexual boundaries as like really clear, but it's actually not because it can also be how you feel about something right, like the presence of someone them touching you in a certain way. Those are boundary violations. I would say, out of the six, the one that I see the most is the time violation, and it's

usually us violating our time boundaries. We assume it's other people always asking us to do stuff, always demanding our time, when really it is us not saying no, over committing doing things we have no business doing. You know, I'm a therapist, not a painter. I shouldn't be helping you paint now. If you want to talk, call me. So just being clear about your gift set and what's not

your gift set. If you want to do something for someone, do it, and if you don't, you have to say, you know, I have a lot of things going on. So I would say, of those six boundaries, time is the one that is the biggest. One thing I read that hit me with the things we do to avoid a setting boundaries, you know, move away, gossip, complaints of avoidance, cut off. I do all those things. I to every single one of them. Why are we wired like that?

It's hard to have conversations like it really is. I remember when I was a kid, before I said something hard, I would say this, Am I gonna get in trouble if I say this? Because I just wanted to make sure it was safe to say it. There was no consequence, you wouldn't be mad at me, like all of this stuff.

And we still feel that as adults, like I can't say this to this person because they'll be upset and they could be you know, your partner, and you don't want to say like, I'd rather go to bed early. Like it's so hard to potentially disappoint people, to potentially hurt someone's feelings because we do not know. I think people are placing boundaries all day, and most of the boundaries it doesn't hurt our feelings. We're just like, Okay, it's fine. But we assume that and we say it

to someone, it is going to destroy the relationship. It's going to hurt them, and and I would say, in most cases, it does not. What about the guilt you

feel afterward for setting the boundary. That's the thing that will bother me Like that bothers me to most Like Like, I could be somewhere and somebody asked me to do something and I'd be like no, But then I might literally be home enjoying doing nothing, and I'm like, I could have did that for that person, but then I wouldn't have had my time to do nothing, But then I still feel bad about it. So then I am like, hey, man, you need me to do such and such, Like what

about that guilt afterwards? I think guilt is a part of the boundary setting process. We can't make ourselves feel better about something we're still learning to practice. I think once you get into a rhythm of being okay with relaxing, it will be easier to set that particular boundary. I also think that as parents is really important to think about the ways in which we are teaching our children to feel guilty. If you don't call them, they're gonna

be sad. You know, if you don't do this, you know, get them a hug, or you know, all of these things that we do because we grow up and we feel that in many situations, we learn to consider everyone else except ourselves, and we feel really bad for resting. We feel really bad for not loaning people things even when we don't have it, because our understanding is people

will feel so bad. So how do we, as parents, as teachers, as adults teach children that it is okay to not always think about how others might feel and to consider yourself. It's okay to say no. These things are actually healthy, and we can raise a generation of people who feel better saying no, I don't want to come to your thing, but continue to invite me because you know next time I might.
