Speaker 1

That was Drake Demons. You gottas think that actually was hard. I see it work. I see a rocking in the clubs. Yeah what clubs? Well, what are those when the clubs were open? I mean, okay, hopefully it's still be around when the clubs are back open. But yeah, you know what I mean, somebody's gonna happen. Somebody's gonna have to open a virtual like uh like, I don't I don't know. Crunk is the right word. That's the word I grew up on. But the virtual like crunk club right crazy?

And I do it here Echo. Two club. I mean they had something, they had the Demon Joint. They had a Demons club that at one time after eleven o'clock. They had these virtual clubs and virtual strip clubs. And yeah, yeah, they shouted out in the in the club. I thought I just thought she was saying she was demon the time, which is late night time. Yeah, okay, it's a virtual it's a Vertua strip club. Okay, boom, that's gonna rock out a club demon. There there you go. I'm still here. Echo.

But let's get in some front page news. Where we starting you Well, let's start with health report. Is predicting up to two more years of this pandemic. They're saying eighteen months to two years until sixty to seventy percent of the population worldwide has been infected, according to a team of long standing pandemic experts in a new report

that came out yesterday. I don't know how that makes y'all feel, but you know, they're saying it's likely going to be eighteen to twenty four month and as herd immunity gradually develops in the human population, then that's when finally things will be better. Yeah, they don't mean that we'll be in isolation and self I mean self isolation for two years. Or they didn't mean that the coronavirus

maybe around for two years. Yeah. Yeah. They said a worst case scenario includes a second big wave in the fall and winter, and in a best case scenario, people will continue to die from the virus. That's the prediction. Great, all right. Armed demonstrators stormed Michigan State House. That's because of the stay at home order. Some of them had rifles, and they forced their way into the capital and Lancing to urge Michigan officials to end the state of emergency.

You know, What's interesting. When I was in Jersey, I saw a lot of people protesting, driving and stopping on the highway and pulling out flags and beeping their horns and stuff like that. So this is why I keep telling everybody to make sure you an armed, make sure you got guns. You know, practice you your two A rights, take advantage of your two A rights because you know, make sure your family knows how to shoot. Because this

is what the shoot you of America looks like. You're gonna see more these, you know, campaigns of thuggery, intimidation, and violence from malicious against American democracy. And if they will storm a Capitol building, they will storm your house. Because if the economy keeps going the way that it is and the gap between the halves and have not continues to grow, they will storm your house. I's got a little bit more. What did they do to make sure you and your family are scraped? Know that much?

All right? Coronavirus also has hit the US meat supply pretty hard. They're saying one of the first things that's going to be scarce is boneless chicken. So they're swapping boneless chicken now for less popular pieces like thighs and drumsticks, and they are also saying that what they have to do is grocers are now accepting cuts of meat that require more cutting in house by their butchers to keep

their meat counters as full as possible. And companies are working in secure FROs and beef supply just in case these shutdowns at beef suppliers disrupt the supply chain. Also, so people are shifting away from different types of meat just because of the scarcity of it. And nearly nine hundred workers at the Tyson Foods pork plant tested positive for coronavirus, and so of course that's going to cause

a shortage there as well. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not mad if they take meat, boneless chicken meat off the shelf because I don't believe in bonles chicken meat. When it comes to bonles chicken meat, that's when I get in my five G conspiracy bag. Okay, I want all my animals to have bones. If they don't have bones, I just consider them genetically modified. Yeah, did y'all hear about this virus killing robot that they have? What did

you hear about it? It's called the Xenix. It's a robot that they created costs like one hundred thousand dollars that can kill the coronavirus. So meaning if you own a gym or if you own a hospital, they put this robot into the room or to the area and it kills the virus all in the room. Did you hear about it sanitizes the place. Yeah, it's sanitizes the place,

but it's used to kill coronavirus. And I see all the hospitals are buying it, and also like sports teams and gyms, so that way people don't have to clean it. So just say you in the gym. Every hour, they just send this robot in the gym and it throws out this light. This just illuminates the place and it kills all the viruses, including coronavirus, and then leaves and you can go back into work out. Already existed, right, I believe it already existed, and they and they perfected

it to kill coronavirus as well. And they're saying everybody's picking this thing up. They saying it costs about one hundred thousand large, which is gonna make it safer for people when they have to clean these hospitals, clean these ms, even clean subways and things like that. I thought was pretty dope. How long before Donald Trump tells tells us to have to let the robot operate on us and let the robot inject his light inside of us because

it'll kill all coronavirus? How soon? Uh? Tomorrow? Okay? All right, well last your front page news. Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one o five one. If you need to vent hit us up right now, maybe at a bad night, bad morning, or maybe you just want to spread some positivity. Eight hundred five eight five one o five one is the breakfast club? Good morning, the breakfast Club. I'm telling you, this is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.

Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. We want to hear from you on the breakfast club. Hello, who's this? Hey? Emoney, get it off your chess e money? Okay, So I heard you talking about that little robot. Yeah, we're gonna hospital absolutely hate that stupid thing. You incorrect as to what it does. It does not kill the coronavirus at all, because we've been using this even before the coronavirus came out to dude, tell us what to dude, put us on that little stupid thing. It does kill.

It kills bacteria. It does not kill the virus. It kills anything and anything that you miss whitely now with bleach. It kills it in the room, any spot that you haven't you can't get to. That's what the light does. But it does not kill the virus. Out of the room completely. You actually have to let the room six for an extra hour before anybody can go back into that room. So why why do you hate that little robot? Why have you tried to unplug it a million times?

I can see you trying to take the battery up. No, I'm okay, So I'm pregnant. And the smell that it gives off ry tod and smell got you. It ain't active, right, Yeah, it's um. So the hospital that I worked at, the infection rate has been up, but it's gone down since we've gotten the robot um because like some of the people that I worked, but they didn't really clean like they were supposed to. So, but it does help. It does help a lot, but it does not kill everything

that we wanted to kill. Yeah, because it says still go in the room and clean the spray spray bleach. I use like thirty bottles of bleach in every room that I had been Yeah, it says to say Antonio Company just have perfected one hundred thousand dollar robot that can zap the deadly virus to death. That's what they released yesterday. Yeah, the one that we have at my job. Listen, do the white people that give it a name they have a name for the little robot? Yeah? They actually

some of them do have robot um names. What do they call it? I've been using it called Wilbert Wilburt. Yeah, Wilburt Lord murdered. Right. They said they're using it in like ten US military bases.

Wait, you delivered it and they're calling telling you they want their food. Yeah, deliver. I wanted to go deliver it. There was an answering, and I took the picture, left it on the door knock like how I explained that's what you're supposed to do. And

now they call and told about they want their food. Now, I'm like, maybe somebody stole it. Sounds like they're trying to scam you. Yeah, I guess, But you took the picture, so you got the proof, right, Oh yeah, I got the proof. All right. We might think you cute, bro, they might think you cute.

glad to see it. Happy boring day, King. I'm glad that you're glad to see it. Better appreciate it. Some people woke up dead this morning. How you wake up dead well, they say that your They say that your consciousness remains alive after you pass away. So when you pass away, they say that you are absolutely aware that you did pass away, because you know it's still your consciousness is still energy. You just don't have a physical body that works anymore. I thought about it like that.

Very scary, right, Oh yeah, yeah, man, scary now that is I mean, can't walk down catching something that ain't true. Oh that's what they're making a sound right now, that's true. They make it it sound like that. But you can walk outside and not catch nothing. You just gotta, you know, protect yourself. I tried to write that I got away. That's all we can do, brother, all right man eight hundred five eight five one o five one. There we

got rumors on the way. Yes, find out who turned down an offer for one hundred million dollars to go to an event for two hours. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep a lot. This to Breakfast club. Good morning the Breakfast Club. This is the rule of report with Angela. Yes, I probably would have tease Tiffany Hattish, but yes, Tiffany Hattish, if you recall she was on Ellen and why you dirty like that man like he wasn't going to dance. No, she's getting vindicated with this, Okay, okay.

So she did an appearance on Ellen and she said that she and Chenney had slept together one night many years ago. Listen to this. Have you ever dated a celebrity that the world doesn't know about? But what's the really dating? What did we just look? Chiney? Oh yeah, did you and Chimney? Yeah? I mean it was a hook up. If that was the early two thousands, y'all. I don't even know if that counts anymore. Now Cheney had denied that this happened, but now he's saying that, yes,

it did happen. Here is Chiney admitting that I don't remember it still to this day. So I had to call my brother, who I know know everything, and so I asked him. I was like us back there and I used to drink it and I was like a bowling ball. I was knocking him down. I called him. I was like, hey, man, did that happen? He said, yeah, that happened. He said, I was with her friend. You had her one night when he was everybody was up. He was in my room. Then you her? What's your

room and whoo whoo. You know, I saw that yesterday and it made me think, do I remember every woman I had sex with in in my day? And I couldn't remember. I honestly was sitting around racking my brain thinking about it. So no, you don't remember, it's what you're saying. Yeah, I don't think I have women that I don't necessarily just I don't. I don't remember. I'll recall the every detail of the sex act or their names. You know what I'm saying. But I'm pretty sure if

I think hard enough, I can remember. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I did sleep with her. I can't just you know, be like, nah, I didn't sleep with her unequippably. She might not remember you though, huh, how can you forget me? I deny it, all right, Michael Jordan offered, Now, yeah, you tell you the truth. Some of your friends, he's denied it back in the day, all the time out heard these streets there, you know what, I never asked them. I do remember one person saying I wouldn't let him upstairs.

She would let him upstairs. She's smutting me out in the cart. She definitely did, all right, Michael Jordan was offered one hundred million dollars to appear in an event for two hours, according to his agent Peter Falk, and he didn't want to do it. One hundred million dollars. He was on w Fans Show where he discussed how picky that Michael Jordan was when it came to deals.

I mean he turned down a deal. I bought him a deal three years ago for one hundred million dollars and all he had to do was make a one other giving his name and likeness to make a one two hour appearance to announce the deal. And he turned it down. And God boss him. You know, he's been so successful it gives him an opportunity to do whatever the hell he wants. I ain't mad at it. I mean the million. The man's worth a billion dollars he just didn't feel like doing at this time. Yeah, one

hundred million is a lot. I wonder what the deal was exactly, like like company, what company wasn't you know what I mean? I mean, one hundred million is a lot to us. But I mean when you're a guy who probably has you know, seven hundred billion dollars you know in liquid in liquid or probably another probably a billion plus in assets in your bank account. You're like, man, I can turn that hundred million dollars and all the money he makes a billion, that's still a lot. I

can't even imagine. But because you know, my billionaire, you're not a billionaire. If you're a billionaire, you didn't feel like doing anything like you know what, I ain't gonna forget that. And when you make so much horizontal money, right, because Michael Jordan makes money when he's sleep, because he's shoes and his must Yeah, they want to leave two hours,

I can't even all right. Well, Also in addition to that, another thing that uh, that fuck brought up, that David fuck brought up was the fact that he believes that Scottie Pippen is jealous of Michael Jordan. I don't don't

thin Scottie Pippen is jealous of Michael Jordan. I think Pipping saw Michael Jordan and at a certain point he knows that whatever Jordan was making, he should be making at least half of that, especially probably those last couple of years when he was making two point five million dollars compared to Jordan, who was making thirty million dollars a year. I don't think that I would call that jealousy. Yeah, I don't think it was jellous dame I as it.

It's because he keeps on saying Lebron's a better player than Michael Jordan, and he feels like, even if you felt like that because of your relationship with Michael Jordan and everything he's done for you, maybe you shouldn't just walk around saying that all the time. And he feels like, I don't. I don't believe that, but Pipping might feel

that way. Well, Pippen don't feel that way either. Pipping has had objective conversations where he said things like, you know, Lebron James may have passed Michael Jordan um in different ways. But the last statement that Scottie Pippen made was in twenty nineteen and he said Lebron James is not even what Kobe Bryant was as a player. And he said he said, Pippen said, Scott pip said Lebron does not have the ability to take over a game in the

way Jordan did during his playing dates. He said, Lebron not in no way near Jordan. He's not even been as Kobe Bryant as a player. That was his last statement on it. So all right now, Anderson Cooper, congratulations to him. He announced the birth of his son, Wyatt Alive on CNN. Here he is as a gay kid. I never thought it would be possible to have a child, and I'm so grateful for all those who paved the way, and for the doctors and nurses and everyone involved in

my son's birth. Most of all, I am eternally grateful to a remarkable sergeant who carried Wyatt. I do wish my mom and my dad and my brother Carter were alive to meet Wyatt, but I like to believe that they can see him. I imagine them all together, arms around each other, smiling and laughing and watching looking down on us, happy to know that their love is alive in me and in Wyatt, and that our family continues. All right, So congratulations to Anderson Cooper. I guess that

is such a blessing. But it was sad to hear about all that he's gone through in his life, having lost many different family members. Yeah, that's horrible, Like, who do you share a moment like that with? You know what I'm saying, Because you would love for your child to meet the grandparents, you know, their uncle, and they're not here, Like Jesus Christ. That's gotta hurt. All right, I'm angela. Yeah, and that is your rumor report. Oh and Drake, we have Drake all morning, right, so as

y'all know, and we'll get more into this. But Drake did announce his Dark Lane Demo Tapes mixtape and that is out. So I don't know. If y'all have had a chance, I would sleep. So I haven't had a chance to listen. I haven't heard a chance. Yeah, let's get all losses right now. It's the breakfast Club, Good morning. Front page News is next, that's the RBGRAM. I like that's all that trash ass tutti slide TikTok bs. I

like that. Listen, man, when you have to pretend you to be the best rapper alive, why you want to be a little white girl tiktoking? Okay? Like chest when you can make music like that, That's what I'm talking about. That was hard? All right. Well let's get in some front page news. What we started with. Ye, Well, first off, I gotta tell you, guys, I didn't realize the deadline

was coming up, so quickly. But if you did not file a tax return last year and you have kids under seventeen, you have to act now to get the five hundred dollars economic impact payment per child. Now, I know there's a lot of people who can use this money, so make sure you get it done by Tuesday May fit. To get your payment in twenty twenty, all you have to do is go to IRS dot gov and that's where you can enter your information and the non filer tool again by Tuesday, May fifth, So I want to

make sure you get your money. Get that done before Sinco de Mayo, man, because ain't nobody and think about a single to Miles on a Tuesday this year, So that's a taco Tuesday, so it's gonna be to Quilla and tacos flowing everywhere. You ain't gonna have time for no taxes on May fifth to do that before then. Okay, absolutely, that's from my Mexican brothers and sister. This guy's crazy us in Natina. That's Natina's birthday, Single de Maya, So we've got to do a zoom with that appy birthday

in Na Tina. All right, Now, there's some little things that we don't think about, right, and it's been causing some inconvenience. As you're out tide with your mask on, how do you unlock your iPhone if you don't use face ID? Now you got to do all of that. So now Apple's making it easier for you to unlock your iPhone without face ID because of the mask. All you have to do is swipe up to bring the

pass code screen. And there's uh, since there isn't as much of a delay between the phone trying to recognize your face and asking you to enter in the pass code, and so they're trying to do this whole thing. If you, uh, I guess I don't know how it's gonna make it any easier. But if you all you have to do is swipe up if you're wearing a mask, and you'll skip the face ID display and then you enter in

a code. I kind of feel like that's what we've been doing already anyway, Right, you know what else you got to think about? I thought about this the other day when I was out. When you're wearing gloves and you got the mask on, Oh yeah, yeah, if your phone rings don't touch your phone while you got the gloves on, and then you got you know what I'm saying, because whatever you've been your phone. Absolutely, you can't even like type in anything when you have a glove on, right,

don't you gotta take this. You gotta take the gloves off, You gotta take that, and you gotta take that out for them. You gotta get back to that person, all right. And in Michigan, they have launched a free condom delivery service during coronavirus lockdown, so the Condoms by Mail program. They said they feel it's extremely important during this public health crisis to continue to support our communities and protecting

themselves against unintended pregnancies, STIs and HIV. So Michigan residents have to require deliveries via email and those packages will be discreet and unmarked, and it'll have ten condoms and ten packets of lubrication. Yeah. I just don't feel like you should be quarantining with someone you can't have unprotected sex with. I think, whoever, if you don't want to have a baby, yeah, if you don't want to have a baby or baby, that's just your you know, your

your boyfriend, a girlfriend and y'all working. You just don't have a child yet. So you're just being protected. I'm not gonna judge couples who I'm not gonna judge couples who use condoms because you know, I know, I know a married couple. They use condoms because she's not just pregnant and have another. Yeah, they're married, she doesn't want to have the baby. Birth control. Some people don't believe in birth control. Yeah. Some people don't want to put

things in their body like that. And some women have a bad um, you know, they have a bad reaction to that. So you don't want to put things in your body. But you put that nasty little piece of rubbing in your body. Now behind it. It's only a nasty little piece of rubber when you're married, okay, but when you're single or understand. But all I'm simply saying is you shouldn't be quarantined with somebody you can't go wrong. But tell them how that rubber feels in your body.

Since you know so well, Charlemagne, I mean, I gotta put it on me. It's like using your phone with gloves. It's literally like using your phone with gloves on. And listen, you guys have it easy because you don't take birth control. But for some women, birth control is tough, like it might make you gain a lot of weight, it might make you have that there's all kinds of things that can go wrong. Some people just can't take it. And so if you don't want to have a baby, it's

really early in these stages. I don't think a lot of men are using that. I don't know if it's even as effective as birth control for women. So if you have to be responsible in that way, there's nothing wrong with that. All I'm saying is, ladies, if you can't, uh, you know, have raw sex with the person you're quarantine with, then it may not be the person you should be with. Don't listen to him. You might not want to get pregnant. If you want to be responsible, be responsible, however you

choose to do it. The responsible get married. You stop it, man, They might not be ready to get married forcing me to get married, you know. And you know responsible sex is whack. You know. That's why we're happy to be married. And you can go raw, I know, but I ain't telling that to everybody. People out there, I haven't say. They want to let you know what you're missing with

their partner and still getting something somehow. So I don't know that some people don't need no babies right now, I have about that some people need to be protected. All right. Well, when we come back today is the first day of Mental Health Awareness months, so we're gonna be kicking of it. Doctor Rito Walker. Yes, I read this great book over the holidays. I was blessed enough to get an advanced copy and I've read it twice since then. You might hear me ref referencing it a lot.

And it is the unapologetic guy, the black mental health doctor Ya Walker has created this book that helps you to navigating unequal system and learned tools for emotional wellness and the help that we also greatly deserve and regards our mental health soul. Yes, doctor to Walker. And the book is out the day first day of Mental Health Awareness Month. The book came out to day. I think everybody needs to have this book. Man, It is that important, it is that good. Should add it to your library.

All right, we'll get into that next, So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, Go Morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We have a special guest in the building and Charlemagne. Today is the start of Mental Health Awareness Month. Yesterday is the first day of Mental Health Awareness Month, and she has put out a book today called The Unapologetic Guy, The Black Mental Health. It

is absolutely the best book I have read this year. Period. To read a Walkers here, I have to read a walker Good morning, Good morning everybody. Now, first, how are you quarantine? And how how is everybody with you? The family straight? Everybody good? Yes, we're good. You know, got a little bit of cabin fever, as you might imagine. Got a child under the eight to ten, so yeah, I got three, So I know exactly what you're going through right now. How are you doing mental health at

a time like this? How am I stigmenttally healthy? You and I had a whole family? Everybody, well, everybody has their ways. So I'll probably just start with my son because video games and I try and keep him off with video games, but that probably keeps them best connected to his friends. So I think it's been kind of normal for him because he gets more video games than usual. For me. I have spent time outside, so I have a small patio that when I'm starting to get into

my head. I go sit outside and that's most helpful for me. Now, you talk about the kids with video games, because I have a five year old that's on this ipaddle day, so I have to take it from him sometimes because he's into those video games, and I feel like his mind is so stuck on these games. He's not necessarily just seeing what else is going on with this world, So I kind of take it from him. So if you have younger kids, what do you to

suggest we do to make sure they stay mentally healthy. Yeah? I think that we have to realize that this is a really difficult time, and not just for us, but certainly for our kids too, and so trying to find the ballot. So maybe have an agreement, Okay, you can play for this amount of time and then after that take it off so that we can do something else. My son loved puzzles, so I have been trying to find as many puzzles as I can so that we and do like battleships, so we play game kind of

distracting from the video games. Gotcha, Well, listen, let's talk about this master fish. You wrote The Unapologetic Guy, the Black Mental Health. Like I said, best new book I read so far this year and it's not even close For those who haven't read it, Shet, what is the Unapologetic God the Black mental Health? Well, I'll tell you. I was motivated to write the book because of the

suicide rate going up for Black children. That concerned me and I have been studying black suicide since I was in grad school in the nineties, and my concern was that one people didn't know and two that we didn't recognize that we needed to turn into our own community start to address some of the larger issues that I think have led to the suicide rate going up for

Black children. So that's what the book is about, is how we first acknowledge some of the challenges that we experience as African Americans, some of those challenges, and then how on a day to day basis, we start to make change. I don't expect for change to happen overnight, these problems getting the rise overnight, but we need to start moving in a different direction. Now, why do you think the suicide rate is shot up so much? You know,

is it the music? Because I remember being a kid, you know, you wouldn't hear much about suicide, but it almost seems like if things are not going well, it's an easier way to say, Okay, I'm just gonna take my life. And I see more and more kids adapting to that. Yeah, I will say so suicide is complicated, So there are a lot of factors that come together for a person to one decide that they want to die and then two to take the steps to take

their own lives. But I think that one of the things to happen for African Americans because for a long time we didn't see suicide death rates, certainly for five to eleven year old children, so that's where the rates were going up. That really got my attention. So in our community, we've been through a lot, so going through having the problems isn't new to so there's always been this since to resolve that we can take care of whatever comes from play. I think we see this sub quarantine,

like we create what we need to survive. But all the time I would have been this for integration. I have students in my university lash room who say, you know, doctor Walker, you talk about being black and Africans, but I'm just Americans. And so when we move away from this notion that we are a special African descending people who have what we need in our community to survive and think that when threat happens, because threats to our humanity will happen, that we don't have that sort of

protection or covering of knowing who we are. And that's one of the reasons that I think theoretically we've seen the rates to go up in our community. Correct. Yeah, you talked about that in the book, when you talked about why Wakanda Forever is so important. That was a force,

you know. Either the movie The Black Panther was something that we were so excited about and I don't even think we understood what that movie and it was a fictional movie, right, but we rallied around that movie because we saw so much positivity of who we were and it was okay for us to be African and sugress up in African clothes. You know, we had our salute and it was it was special because we are special. But we have lost We've lost a lot of our connections,

you know. And I'll have folks say, you know, I've never been to Africa. I don't know anything about Africa, but a lot of our culture, our culture is African in its origin, but we've lost that connection. What are some of the steps that you would tell parents? If you're looking at your kids and you don't really know what to do to help them. You can see that they're going through something. Maybe it's a depression, maybe it's anxiety, but you're not quite sure what it is. What are

some of the steps you would advise. Yeah, I appreciate that, and this is something that we can It works for children and it work for adults. It's communication and it sounds simple. But I'm always fascinated by the degree to which we are hesitant for whatever reason, we fear if we ask the all question, we're gonna upset someone that maybe if we get an answer we don't want, we

won't know how to help. But I think parents have to be willing when they see something different, Like you said, you see the child of looking depressed, ask to what's going on. I know in my generation, you know, we didn't have a whole lot of talking about feelings like that's just not what you do, and the child doesn't want to talk. We have to be willing to say, you know, I can tell you going through something. I'm

here whenever you're ready. To talk and then be ready to talk and not be judgmental, like we have to be willing to be physically present and suspend our judgments for people who are struggling. How much is social media? How much is social media affecting kids now? Would you think? Because I'm sure that that has to be adding to some of the experiences that can be negative that kids

are having. Yeah, the research on social media is still emerging, but from what we can tell, it does seem that it feeds into that comparison you know, and I'm sure you've all seen it when people would just compelled to compare themselves to others rather than recognizing because we all have talents, we all have gifts, and we need to

pay more attention to our own strengths and gifts. But instead we're pulled in all of these different directions and trying to be someone that we're not, and so social media can facilitate that. Unfortunately. All right, we have more with doctor Rita Walker when we come back. Is the Breakfast Club, Good morning joining everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you just join us today is the first day of meant to Health Awareness Month and we're kicking with doctor Rita Walker Charlomagne and one of the first chapters of the book, you know, staying on the suicide topic, you say, what you can do if death seems like the best into pain for those feelings suicide or what what? What can they do? Yeah? I think it's important to recognize that we have internal resources and then we have external resources.

And in the book, I also talk about psychological fortitude, right, So psychological fortitude is that the level of resilience or resistance. We have two things that will otherwise challenge us or undermine our psychology. Like we need our minds in order to be in relationships, to work, to live our life purpose. But for some of us, like we're so worn down, we just can't function day to day, and so we

have to tap into our internal resources. So for people who are feeling like my life doesn't matter, no one cares if I live that if we can't tapp into writing down our thoughts for a lot of times we get in our heads, then we have to be willing to reach out to others and that can be hard in our community, as you all know, because of this sense of strength and resilience that we have. That is important.

But on the other side of that, we think, well, if I'm asking for help and that means I'm weak, well I would challenge that, and that saying asking for help means that someone is strong enough to overcome their potential weakness. The challenge is that when people get into suicide related crisis, it's hard to problem solve. It's hard to say, Okay, let me figure out what to do now. They're so overwhelmed that they don't have the resources to figure out what the problem is and what the best

long term solution is. Yeah, that you mentioned, I think a lot of suicide is I want, I don't want to say accidental, but what I mean accidentalists like I think a lot of times, I think when people talk about suicide, a lot of it is for attention. They want people to care about them. And I think sometimes when people feel like, you know, oil, they said they were going to do it, they're not really going to

do it. I think almost people like feel like they forced themselves to be like now they believe they don't think I'm gonna do it, and then they wind up doing it. Do you see that happen a lot. So that's tricky because I do think that there's this conversation around like, oh, they just want attention. But the challenge of that is what if something like what you describe happens and is it worth it to take that chance? Right? I want for folks to think of suicide crisis as

a personal pain. Who wants the pain to end? Right, So however they go about getting that pain and they want it. It is pervasive and all of their thoughts they don't see tomorrow. They just want to sin. So maybe they have done something to put themselves in a risky situation, you know, not knowing how lethal it is.

Because yet we have a lot of people who attempt suicide who don't die by suicide, right, Yeah, These people who do things because they who want to end the pain, not thinking to say, taking a bottle of pounds, like they're thinking, okay, this will least maybe they'll knock me out for a little while. But album but then it's really lethal and so they die. So I think that it helps all of us, and I talk to my doctor students about this because suicide is scary for everyone.

You know, doctor Rita Walker, you talk about reclaiming your mind. So how do you reclaim your mind to reclaim a life worth living? Yeah, And I use reclaim intentionally because I do see African people around the world as having resilience within us, which is why we're still here. And so what I'm seeing is, you know, reclaim our connections to our African heritage and calling it what it is.

And so I think attention that students will say, I don't know anything about Africa, I've never been there, There's nothing about me that is African, and that it's just not true because we see it around us. And so when we reclaim, we have to learn more about our history, you know, go to our African cultural museums, talk to our older relatives about what life was like when they

were younger. So we have to reconnect with what it means for us to be who we are and not criticize or be critical of things that are African and call ourselves, you know, lazy in a way that a lot of mainstream folks have minimized or denigrated what it means for us to be who we are. What advice do you give to people outside of this this quarantine, like you know, they're starting to open up things and

people are losing jobs. You know, they're losing money. How do you tell people to monitor their mental health in this situation? Is that even possible? It is possible, and it starts with being intentional. So one of the things that people humans are inclined to do is to catastrophize things. Now, yes, losing a car and losing a job, it is hard, and so your emotional well being, your psychological fortitude, isn't about bad things happening. It is about managing your response

or your reaction to that bad thing. So, losing a job for some people, and I know there are plenty of stories out there, that was a blessing that I lost that job because it allowed me to tap into my own inherent creativity, my business sense, to create something that was consistent with who I was. So I think the easiest thing is to focus on the next hour. When someone is overwhelmed, don't think about next week. Think about, Okay, what do I need to do in the next fifteen minutes.

If what I need to do is just to kind of sit down and watch TV, then do that, because otherwise we get so overwhelmed that it can be hard to figure out. The solutions that are really in us are somewhere in our family or in our community. Right what do you say people who are having difficulties right now at home in their relationship. You know, as we've been seeing a lot of people have been realizing maybe it's time for me to file for divorce. They're not

sure how to work through whatever issues they have. Things are being magnified right now. What's your advice that somebody should they wait until this pandemic is over and then reassess, or is this really a time when you're these might be some prevalent issues that you're like, Okay, now I'm realizing what it really is now that we're in here twenty four seven. Like you always said, you know, domestic

violence calls you said, have shot through the roof. Yeah, And for those who are in domestic violence situations, there are hotlines and numbers to call to get support. But in those kinds of situations, people can do the best that they can with what they know, but sometimes it works to reach out. And so I do say that

because we know those rates are going up. As far as making other big visions relationship wise, I probably make the same advice that I do with anything that's hard, that at least take time to write down what are the pros and cons of the decision and sitting down and saying, Okay, if I leave, this is the prons of leaving. These are the cons of leaving. And then if I stay, do the pros and cons also of staying?

And that works with anything. Sometimes the pros and cons all equal, and then we have to decide just one makes the most sense. Just in my spirit intuitively, what is it that I feel like I need to be doing because we have another we have another gear in us.

So we have our thoughts, in our thinking and our intellect, but we also have you know, that voice that's been pushing us in one direction or another that we I think we all need to be paying a little bit more attention to and that quarantine time gives us an opportunity to do right. We have more with doctor Rita Walker when we come back. Is the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is d Jay, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We all the Breakfast Club if you just

join us. Today is the first day of Mental Health Awareness Month, and we're kicking with doctor Rita Walker Charlomagne. Now let's talk about blackness, right, because you have a chapter in the book of Racism is Bad for You, right, and you talk about the balancing act that goes along with having a black identity taking care of everyone else. You're putting the effort into being put together despite being invisible.

It's found on that a little bit. Yeah, it's hard, I think for those of us who strongly identify, you know, with being black and recognizing that there are racial tensions in our society. There are consequences of being black. We've a lot of us have been socialized. You got to work twice as hard to get half as far like

that over time puts a burden on us. And I do think it's one of the reasons that we see the high levels of hypertension and the high level of health problems, in part because they've been passed on, you know, so part of our families, but in part because on a day to day basis, we're struggling navigating how do I both fit in so that I can advance maybe at a job and get promoted, but also maintain my sanity and be true to who I am. And it's

it's a juggling act. And meanwhile, there are folks who are being you know, taunted by the police and being killed, and so all of these stressors come together. If we're not intentional, it really starts to get to us, to wear it down. So what's your definition of meaningful blackness? On the one hand, I think that we recognize that maybe how we dress, how we carry ourselves, and the foods that we eat. Maybe, so that's a that's a level of culture that I think a lot of folks

resonate with. We know, you don't put raisins in the pay of salad and things of that nature. But on the other hand, there is, like I said, digging into who we are as a people. I really do believe that that is going to be the starting point for a different just a different kind of well being, including

psychological fortitude, including our businesses, entrepreneurship like everything. That when we can connect to the fact that we were some of the original creators and engineers in society, in all of society, that we have to connect to that in order to be able to turn this voat around. That's kind of thinking in a lot of ways, how do you tell people to deal with anxiety, you know, especially if you have kids and everything that's going on in

this world. Yeah, well, you know, first we have to recognize where we are in our level of anxiety because not everyone is the same, right, And so one of the things that I talked about in the book, I create a psychological fortitude meter, So on a zero to ten, say zero being really very low psychological fortitude and ten being high, you know, where are we We can do

the same thing with anxiety. If it's a five or higher, then we probably need to make some adjustments instead of for a lord that we can probably sit with it for a little while. But what are the adjustments that we make? We evaluate? So what about this situation is in my control? And this is where we have to just sit and be mindful, maybe talk to someone else, and then see does that work. If not, then we

have to reassess to come up with another solution. Now, when you say anxiety, you know, is there really Because sometimes I try to figure out if I'm having anxiety or if I if I if I'm a caring parent, you know, like every time my son goes out and I constantly think about it, is he okay? Is that anxiety or is that now I'm just an f and parent and that's what you're supposed to feel like, you know, it's hard to get to that the difference between the two.

Like when my kids go out, I'm fed up because I'm like, oh, they're right, but I'm a parent. It is. So the thing about so anxiety is a certain amount of it's anonymous. Was worried. When you're worried gets out of hand such that you can't function, that's problematic. But when you're worried is adaptive. So we do things that are adaptive that help us to survive, and sometimes we do things that are maladaptive and don't help us to survive.

So yet some people do maladaptive things. You know, they're worried about, say builds, so they drink more. That's maladaptive because drink it more isn't going to help solve the problem with the build. So I do think that, yes, with parenting, there's a certain amount of inherent worried or just paranoia. And to be honest, for good reason, and I talk about this in the book that you know, black people have to make different decisions because of it's

not paranoia. If it's real, Like if we know that you're higher risk for certain kinds of problems, then we have to manage that. Now you talk about we talk about anxiety because you know, anxiety is high right now, But what about stress? What are some tools to overcome and just straight up stress? People are just stressed right now? Yes, yes, well it's similar for just the anxiety and stress. Stress

is basically anything that we have to deal with. What happens is sometimes to stress gets so high that we feel paralyzed and overwhelmed. We start to do some of the maladaptive things. So we first have to recognize, Okay, how high is my stress right now? Some people don't even have to ask. They know they're just overwhelmed. They don't want to get out the bed. And sometimes we need to just stay in the bed. You know, I really hope that people don't just do what they feel

like they should do. And Charlomagne, you know I talk about should like I drive my students nuts. I want should to be removed from the dictionary. But if we start with where we are, I've been in the bed maybe for a week. It's really time to get out the What is it that I'm so overwhelmed by that I'm teralyzed and start to have those dialogue with ourselves.

It's okay to talk to ourselves and start to write down, like I was saying earlier, like we can't just keep all these thoughts bottled up in our heads, so write them down. Sometimes we just pick up the phone and say to someone, this is what I'm going through right now. Right, you know what, I'm a spiritual person, right, So now that I think about it, it's kind of like should

is getting in the way of God. And what I mean by that is when the universe tells me to do something, When God tells me to do something, there's nothing that needs to happen except for me to do it. But as soon as I say should, I start questioning what what? What the spirit just told me to do? And then you question it yourself, then you might ask somebody else, and then the doubt comes in, and the anxiety comes in and the indecisiveness. So I feel like

I feel like should gets in the way of God. Yeah, I hadn't thought about that, but I can definitely. I can definitely see it because should should have layers to it, right, So should can come from society. You know, should can come from our families. Should is usually something that is external to us that we're trying to meet some demands. Whereas you know our internal voice that I do believe is connected to our higher power, you know that internal

God voice. It's just more natural and people are more inclined to do what's natural than to do what they should do. And last question, today is the first day of mental Health Away in this month. What would you like to see people do during this whole month from me besides reading your book? Not what should they do?

But what would you like? I love it? I love it so yeah, But I think that during this time, you know that we don't have that we are self contained on so many different levels that we take the opportunity to really find quiet time. Maybe it's going to the bathroom for ten minutes and close the door, go into a closet, ghost it outside. Take some paper and

a pen. We don't even have to write complete thoughts, just write words like whatever comes to mind, so that we can start to be more introspective about what this kind means for us individually. Well, thank you so much for checking in and joining us. Than the Black Mental Health you see me holding it up. You gotta go order this. Everybody go out there and ordered this book right now. It's on Amazon, Barns and Nobles, whatever you buy books. The Unapologetic Guy, The Black Mental Health by

doctor Rita Walker. It is a game change of my favorite book that I read this year, Doctor Rita. Thank you, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you all. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Thank you so much. It's about Angel on the Breakfast Club. Yes, so, I actually went on Twitter yesterday and the first thing I saw was Ja Rule. You're gonna stop at this false narrative that fifty killed me? Lmao when I went up against fifty MG unit D twelve bus at DMX,

doctor Jo and FBI at the same damn time. Lmao. Let's talk about it. So did you get jumped? We do. I've been said that. I'm on record, JA Rule got jumped. Let's not act like Ja Rule didn't get jumped. You got jumped by fifty cent g unit all after math bust rhymes. I think I think Cheney punched them. It was one. There's a bunch of people. It was bro what a seem like everybody seemed like everybody jumped job. Some people were talking about a possible job rule in

fifty cent versus Battle, and we know that can't potentially happen. Well, here's what fifty cent said while he was on with Big Boy about that even being a possibility. It would make more sense catalog watch me and Snoop, And it's just because we would definitely be able to compete everybody every step of the way. He got like five six duets Man to hit records is all him and Jeff Lopez, Him and Mary J. Blige, Shanty and Man a woman a female Heart. Yeah, I don't want to see that either.

To be honest with you, I think fifty raises some good points. Job does have some great records. I don't think that Job has the catalog that fifty has because fifty has a lot of big records Mainscream and he has a lot of street records that I think would ring off in the battle, and I think he could

just go deeper than Jab. And that's no disrespect to joab jo joall got a lot of records, and he got a catalog too, But I just think fifties catalog is a lot bigger than I just can't see fifty playing what Up Gangster in job playing you know a record that he did with Mary. It just wouldn't match in my opinion. But y'all got records. Though it wouldn't match. But Joab got dope records. I just don't think John. I don't like saying this. I don't think Jock can

goes deeper fifty. Well, fifty has the whole ge unit and then he has the game collaborations and deep fifty Charloman, Listen, you have to you have to have a long catalog in these battles. Twenty songs is a lot of songs. You have to be able to sustain for twenty records. That's all I'm saying. I would love to see, though, that would be a going now. Fifty Cent also commented about whether or not he still would work with Takashi

six nine, and here's what he said. Do you if with Takashi six nine, if he wanted to record me, I wouldn't work with him. I still just you know, this is just against the way I grew up. Well, I guess Takashi saw that and commented on social media. He said, won't be the first time fifty abandons his son. Let me just mind my business. Fifty comes from a different cloth or right, fifty comes from the street. So his screet mentality will not allow him to work with

a government informant. But you know, he's absolutely right. There's a lot of kids out here that don't come from that and they won't care, right And by the way, I don't think they should. They're not in the street. Yeah, I mean, they just here to make music. So six nine the artist is available, make music with six nine artists all right now.

I didn't get the march, you know. I mean,

I graduated in night school. I chose not to march. But I feel sorry for those kids who you been busting. They asked for four year in high school to have something like this happened, and they can't even march across that stage. And like I said, my daughter, she won't get that opportunity to walk across the stage. It sucks, you know what I mean. She sarted to ask for four years, and she got good grades, She got accepted into a bunch of colleges that gave her full ride,

and I want to see her walk. Her grandparents want to see her walk, but I don't think it's gonna happen. And this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You don't get to do this again.

All right, Well I'm angela, yea, that is your rumor reports. All right, we're gonna get that record on in a minute too. Now, Charlomagne, who

giving that down? You know, your uncle Charla always tells you that the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. And Florida has hit us with more Florida foolishness. And we need to have a conversation about Florida foolishness because I don't think y'all really understand what Florida foolishness is. But I will explain. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This to Breakfast Club. Good morning. Make sure you're telling the watch

out for Florida. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey. Florida man attacked and ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after definitely say he rigged the board to his home and an attempt to electroc kid his current wife. Police arrested in Orlando man for talking a familia to breakfast club Bitchy Dounkey other day with Sharlom haying the gun, I don't know what y'all keep it here, get ya elected.

Dunk here today for Friday, May first goes to a twenty seven year old brother named Ghetro Galen Ghetro hails from the great state of Florida. And you know what your uncle Sharla always says about Florida. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Now, Ghetro was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and domestic battery after he was accused of shoving a

woman to the ground and threatening her with a firearm. Okay, according to an arrest after David obtained by the smoking gun, that's what it says. Now, the woman told authorities Ghetro may have stashed the weapon in his Porsche SUV. Now, first of all, if you committed a crime like this and you knew she was calling the police, because I highly doubt she didn't give him a heads up that she was calling the police. Why would you not leave

the house and go stash the gun somewhere else. The fact that he just stayed there after doing this lets me know, a maybe he didn't do what he's accused of, okay, because there's always two sides to the story, and then it's the absolute truth, which she may or may not be telling RB. The guy didn't go anywhere because he suffers from what I call Florida foolishness. Okay, let me explain. You have Florida fools and you have Florida foolishness. Okay.

Florida foolishness is usually the actions of a Florida fool. Okay, the act of shoving a woman to the ground sticking a gun in her face. If he actually did this, this is the act of a Florida fool. Okay, that's just what Florida fools do. But sticking around at the scene of the alleged crime until the cops come Florida foolishness. See if this is true, he doesn't think he did

anything wrong. A little aggravated assault on a random Sunday, regular day for him, now as I told y'all, the woman told the cops that Ghetro probably had the gun stashed in his purse suv. And guess what she was, right, Florida foolishness. So all that is more Florida foolishness. How does this lady know exactly where you stash your weapons? And the words of Eve forty, never tell a woman all your business because she might end up being an eyewitness,

especially when she's the victim of said crime. Okay, well, when cops searched the car, they found a glock twenty one pistol, a semi automatic rifle, and a bulletproof vest. Now that right there, that's just more Florida foolishness from a Florida fool. I'm not even mad at him, because I'm a two eight guy. I believe in my right to bear all the arms. In fact, I encourage you all of you to bear your arm, leg leg other

arm and head at all times. But legally, people, Okay, clearly, none of these things he had on him he had on him legally, because when cops asked Ghetro takes play, he told him that the SUV wasn't even his anymore. He said, he sold it to his cousin. Would you like to know who he told the cops. His cousin's name was Sure, he told the cops his cousin's name was John. You're probably saying yourself right now, John Wick. The name sounds familiar. John Wick? Who is that? Why

does that name sound familiar? Well? John Wick is a legendary assassin played by Keanu Reeves in three different movies, three films, three films that have all accumulated five hundred and eighty seven million dollars worldwide. It's a very successful franchise. In fact, Part four was scheduled to come out next year on May twenty. First. The moral of the story

is John Wick is a pretty big deal. Okay, too big of a deal for you to be lying saying that the car and the weapons belong to John Wick, because that name automatically would make a police officer suspicious, especially if he's seen the movies. But even if you were going to say the car belonged to someone else, why would you pick the name of an assassin, fictional or otherwise? Why would you pick the name of a retired hitman who was seeking revenge for the killing of

a dog given to him by his dead wife. Now, I know John Wick has to be Peter's favorite person. But if I'm a cop and you tell me that your car and guns belong to a fictional hit man, in my mind, all I'm thinking is he's your inspiration. All I'm thinking is you might be a hit man. It is a semi automatic rifle. Okay. It's like getting caught with kilos of cocaine and telling cops the vehicle

belongs to Tony Montana. Okay. It's like getting caught with pounds of weed and telling people the car belongs to whiz Khalifa. Okay, it simply won't work. It just sounds stupid, all right, Okay, and and and no, no, I think that back. It don't sound stupid. It sounds like Florida foolishness. Okay.

But I was thinking, like if you like you can't think of a name, you just think of John Wick. I don't. I don't know. I just I just feel like I just just it's just black

Yes, what well, I just want to point out that earlier you did a story about someone named Tupac Shakur, Right, so there could be somebody named John Wick. Yes, maybe right?

So maybe he does have a cousin named John Wick. I don't know, but I'm gonna have to say that he is African American. What makes you say that? What makes you say? We have great imaginations? M okay, well, h Sadly both of you are correct. Rule is absolutely African American. I don't want to talk about this anymore, No me neither. That's said. Damn it man. All right, well,

thank you for that donkey of the day. All right now, when we come back, let's let's open up the phone lines eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Now Jada Pinkett Smith, she said, what now? Ye? Well, on Red Table Talk, you know, everybody's talking about being quarantined, and she's quarantined with her husband, Will Smith, and she's saying that she doesn't even know him. Listen to this. I don't know Will at all. I really feel. Let me tell you I feel like there's a layer that

you get to. Life gets busy, and you create these stories in your head, and then you hold on to these stories and that is your idea of your partner. But that's not who your partner is. The thing that Will and are learning to do is be friends. So Will and are in the process of him taking the time to learn to love him himself, me taking the time to learn to love myself right in us building a friendship along the way. So they've been married twenty some our years, she said, and I realized I don't

know you and you don't know me. I wonder what that came from, though, because that had to come from something, a situation and argument, something that happened, like like what made her feel that way. I'm just curious. Eight hundred. They probably spending more time together than they probably ever have, both of them, I mean, in a long time. Both of them have very busy schedules. Will is always on

the set of something shooting. Jade is always working. So now they actually just have, you know, time to be around each other, and they're probably looking at each other like damn you've changed, and damn you've changed, and a lot of people are going through this. You know, they were talking to Pastor John Gray and his wife. I've answered her about the new dynamics of couples during the quarantine, so this whole topic came up. Yeah, so that is

a good question. The eight hundred five eighty five one oh five one. And have you realized something knew about your partner, Charlomagne? Have you? Um? I gotta think about it. I'm pretty sure I have though. All right, we'll talk me about it when we come back. I want to hear from you. You two ye and I don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. God morning, phone call in right now at your opinion to the Breakfast Club, top breaking down. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one, the

Breakfast Club. It's topic time. The phone called eight hundred five eight five one oh five. Want to join it to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now if you just joined us, we're talking about Jada Pinkett Smith and her relationship with her husband. She says during the quarantine, she realized she just doesn't know do we have audios played the audio.

I don't know Will at all. I really feel let me tell you, I feel like there's a way that you get to right. Life gets busy and you create these stories in your head and then you hold onto these stories, and that is your idea of your partner. But that's not who your partner is. The thing that Will and are learning to do is be friends. So Will and are in the process of him taking the time to learn to love himself, me taking the time to learn to love myself right in us building a

friendship along the way, all right? So eight hundred five eighty five one oh five one way asking, did you find out some things about your your spouse you didn't know before? Maybe you just don't know your husband or just don't know your wife. Eight hundred five eighty five one oh five one Charlemagne, have you found out some things about your wife you didn't know? Now? I haven't learned anything new because I realized the long time ago that you have to continue to grow with your partner.

And when you've been with someone almost twenty three years like I have, then you have to constantly meet the new version of the person that you grew in love with. You know, people aren't supposed to be the same mentally, spirit and emotionally like emotionally like, we're supposed to evolve because you are absolutely not the same person you were when you were teenagers. You're not the same people you

were when you were in your twenties. So I think you always have to grow in love with the person someone is now, Like we're often still in love with the person someone was, but if that person evolves and grows, you may not like that new version of a person.

So what I like to do is, you know, just always, you know, reconnect with my wife, you know, reconnect with my queen, like whether it's watching the show together, Like if something that she may be into or something I see her really interested in, I get involved as well, and and vice versa. Just so we always have something that connects us, you know, Like my wife is a personal trainer. She lives a healthy lifestyle, so fitness and

healthy lifestyle is something that always connects us. We both read a lot of books and it's usually things in the wellness space, so I share with her, she shares with me. So we always are constantly growing to love the people that we are becoming in our old age. Yeah,

I haven't learned anything new. If you listen to my podcast with my wife or you know, you know that we are like on top of each other all the time, and not because we have to, because we want to be uh you know, my wife is always with me, So this is like this quarantine has been great because it allows us to spend even more time. So this has been wonderful for me. So it's nothing that popped out that says, oh I learned this or I don't know this. No, it's it's pretty much just what we've

been doing more and more and more. So there's nothing that I learned now. Yeah, I know your your boyfriend is not away from each other. I can't wait till we can travel again. So I'm not in the same boat. I will say, though I don't really mind. Like I've been working so much, so it hasn't been too bad. Like we talk on the phone all the time, but it's obviously different than being in person. Now it's great for me. I mean even a zoom call. She's with me when I do my zoom like she's We're always

around each other, so it's it's wonderful to me. You know, you said something in v and that's very true, even though it doesn't have to be in podcast for him. The reason, you know, you and your wife are constantly probably growing to love each other every other you know, every other year or whatever it is, because y'all do talk every week. Every week, y'all take a dedicated time

to sit down and speak. You know, you don't have to have a podcast to do that, but it's just the fact that y'all are communicating every single week, and you have to do that because that's when you missed stuff. You missed stuff when you're not talking to a person, correct, I mean correct, Yeah, because even during this podcast, you know, I find things about myself, like I'm a right fighter, meaning sometimes I argue in fight to win and not argue in fight to understand or to have a conversation.

And that's something that you are always do. Yeah, you've been a light fighter. We've been trying to tell you all that life in bage rage. You know what I'm saying. We know that I definitely a life fighting, but you would say something that's not even true to win a fight. I've done it before you. Yes, I'm working on myself that's life fighting. That's why I saw life skin guys fights right up? Lie sometimes yeah, you know, like yeah, you know when I get my period it really bathers me. No,

it's not that bad. I'm like, how do you know? Because I used to get mine too, and I'd be like, no, you didn't. How do you know? How do you know if I got my period or not? Yes, but I'm working on myself during this quarantine to make sure that I'm not a right fighter anymore. Okay, all right, let's go to the phone lines. Hello. Who's this Hey? My name is after saw me take beach. What that's mouth? Asked the mouth. Okay, asked the mouth. Good morning? What's

She got another dude that was keeping her happy, and now that she got to be with you twenty four seven, three sixty five, she's like, no, I can love you as long as I got my little side thing. She can't love you just you. I'm sorry, bro, Okay, see this whole thing. I work seven days a week. Yeah,

So it's just to see, like, wow, for real. I'll pay the bills, I make sure that thing is good right, and you just like wow for real? Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Man. Whatever happened, y'alls somehow work things out. I hope that you're okay. If not, and you continue to be okay. I pray that she

gets out of that house and gets to her boyfriend. Man, she sounds miserable. She sounds it is the first day of black Ever Mental Health Awareness Month. Let's be nice and kind to people going through things I am. I'm hoping that she gets to go out and be happy right after he stroked it two because he probably thought he did a good job. And then, oh, bro, listen, she has a man that's not him that makes her happy,

and that's who she's probably grown to love. And she's with her dude now and she realizes like, I don't love him no more. I can't do this. I need to be with side Bay and you know she can't. Intel the quarantine's over. Oh my goodness, all right? Eight hundred five eighty five one oh five one we're talking about being in the quarantine.

So Will and are in the process of him taking the time to learn to love himself, me taking the time to learn to love myself right in us building a friendship along the way.

He wanted a video record me outside smoking. He has a problem with me smoking. Like that's as you gotta be aware of the circumstances.

Though circumstances are different. Is quarantine you probably got a little bit more anxiety. You know what I'm saying. You probably got a little bit more scratched right now, you know what I mean. So you might be smoking a little bit more than usual to take the edge off. That's all. She sounded like. It ain't got hing to do a quarantine that she smoked regardless. I'm just telling her what they're blaming on like like like for real, y'all. Like he's saying that he wanted. He's telling me, I

Like I'm telling you, we all fall in love with a version of a person, and in our mind we always hold that version of the person, you know, but people grow, people evolved, So you gotta constantly make the Yallo. You gotta constantly make sure you're just growing and evolving together, and you're constantly growing in love with the new version of who you've been with for a long long time. All right, now we got rooms on the way. Y. Yes,

We'll get into that next. Keep a lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club. She's filling the team. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club.

Blow Oh, Nettie on grouse, what you're talking about her body? Fake fillers in your face? You just full of hate the real ass and keep hugging. Everyone thinks that this is about Wendy Williams. Well, Nikki just went in her stories and said the line ain't

about Wendy though hashtag say So Remix? Okay, all right, balls, I mean bot how did we come to that conclusion that it was about Wendy. I guess because Wendy's man left her and you know, the fillers and talking about her, and they've had this back and forth, so I think people assume that it was about her. Got you Okay? All right?

Lebron has revealed the title of the Space Jam two movie that I know you guys are excited to see. It's called space Jam a New Legacy. And he revealed that by wearing a hat with the logo entitle for that sequel. Everybody was just calling it space Jam too, so now we know what it's called,

all right. Eminem was a victim of a home invasion. He had a pretty scary encounter. Imagine this. It's his house that is outside of Detroite, and apparently a guy named Matthew David Hughes made it past the security guard that was outside of Eminem's house. His house is also inside of a gated community. The guy smashed the kitchen window, climbed in the house, and then he was face to face with Eminem. So Eminem had to get his other security who then took him down and called the police.

They should have shot him straight up right then and there. That's what listen, that's what that's what guns are about. Right. You're right to bear arms to protect your household, to protect your home. You're breaking somebody's house like that, you deserve what you get. He should have gotten shot, But I would say that they didn't shoot him. He might have had problems and thank god they didn't kill him because he wasn't It doesn't seem like he was a

violent threat. And he might just have some problems. And there's people out there whip problems. So I wouldn't say everybody's I'm alution. I might say kill him, Why do y'all? I didn't say kill him, I said shoot him, all right. Well, even to shooting him, it's not a solution, you know what I mean. They shot them, they subdue them, they have security, They were able to say they were able, They were able to take him down and it worked out. You might have problems, and I'm with you there, but

real story, yes broke. The women just wanted to have a face to face with him and them security will sleep. Am confronted him and had m had to yell for the security and no seconds and could have been dead. You will correct stop. But this guy also might have had some mental health problems. That's what it seems like you're breaking into somebody. We don't have want Did he have a did he have a gun? There's no bigger mental health advocate than me out here in these streets.

But if you break in somebody's house in that moment, you will get what you deserve. Come on, man, you're in there with your kids. You don't know what I agreed, but in this situation, it didn't. And thank god, because this person could have a mental you know, mental health is people don't necessarily might not know what they're doing. They might think what they're doing is the right thing to do. I mean, thank god, thank god nothing happened to him, but he should have been shot. All you

would shoot toobody came in your house like that. Kenya Barris is opening up about the show that he has out now Black af He was talking to Ti on his Expeditious Le podcast, And there's some people who don't like the show. Clearly, Charlomagne, you've been an open critic about the show. Don't like the show, and Kenya says that he has people who like it in people who don't like it. Listen to this. People call me like this is my favorite show. People call him and said

I hate this. I won't speaker on Rashida because she has her own play, but I will say this for her, She's the only person I ever wanted to do that that role. The one thing I will say in terms of the colorism models, I'm this is based on my family. This she's playing a version of my wife who's biracial. My kids, Rashida and I could produce looks like those kids.

Listen to the whole podcast after so did I. Yes, and he also discusses, you know, just even people right now, black people just getting money for the first time and not coming from wealth and just needing some time to adjust to things. Listen to this. We're slowly learning less is more, and so most of us who have any type of success, this is first generation everything we're learning.

We're learning on the spot. Give me a second to learn I'm not supposed to rin my car out because the stocks make it ride the way as supposed to draw. Give me a second before I learn that. Give me a second before I learn there's times when you can tuck your chain. Let me have my moment. You know what I'm saying, and I'm understanding. I'm starting to understand

financial literacy as we all are. So he also said it is a reflection of his own family, and he discusses finding out that he was getting well, the story about him getting divorce actually coming out on his birthday. Listen to this pipe. Somehow, some way it got announced all my birthday. I don't know that my divorce is people care about me getting divorced. I'm not anybody, and especially at that point, and all of a sudden it's in the papers. As I'm getting off a plane coming

from Atlanta, I have my wife calling me. I have my daughter, who's, you know, a sophomore in usc calling me. I had a daughter who's a senior in high school calling me because her friends are talking about it. And Mike, it's a different world than I ever expected. I'm trying to experience it with the audience in real charm. So Yeah.

Amongst other things, he talks about watching The Cosby Show and not seeing Cliff and Claire ever argue, and he said, if you look at sitcoms and our stories were supposed to be okay, but fifty two percent of marriages don't work. And the notion of understanding. We didn't know about therapy, just a lot of different things. He said, there's other people out there like me, So yeah, I'm sure that it is. But once again, I think Black AF is like white people doing a bad impression of black people.

And I think all of them have been in Hollywood way too long if they think that's how black people act on the regular. And I know we're not monolithic, but if I met black people like the people that saw on Black AF, I would think they were were all a bunch of a holes. And then, by the way, if you'd just set the show up in the context that he explained on tr show, I probably would understand the show more. Now I know why you are a hole.

You'll remember married with children. Yeah, we knew why al Bundy was a dysfunctional loser who talked to his kids and his wife like that, and why they both to him like that. They didn't set Kenya's character up like that, not at all. Not to mention a minute. I'm gonna watch it this weekend, man. I guess it's kind of supposed to be like Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

You know that he was the person that created Seinfeld, just like you know Kenya Barris is the person who created Blackish, and so it's supposed to pick up from there and based on his real life after the show, and I feel like that's kind of what this is supposed to be. Also, So if you're not familiar with his history, then you might not get it. But if you do know who he is, then I guess you have some understanding, just like you didn't really know much

about Larry David until Curb your Enthusiasm. Yeah, but it's just a second rate version of Blackish, like topics that they did on Blackish, they do on black Yef like Blackish did a June teen episode, you know what I mean? And I get it now because Blackish is about a mixed woman. You know, his wife is mixed in real life, based on his real life. Yeah, but it's it's just a whack show. Key though. He's very talented, but the show is one. I'm gonna check it out, all right. Well,

thank you for that rum of report. Now when we come back, we got the People's Choice mix. Now revote. We'll see you guys on Monday. Everybody else, I mean, Drake's album release came out today, so let's do a throwback Drake Mix. Let me know your favorite Drake joint? All about Drake this morning in Mix I let's have some fun with it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning clej Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Good morning Now Joe Biden. What happened with

Joe Biden? Ye? Well, he was accused of sexually assaulting a former eight of his back in nineteen ninety three. He's been calling on the National Archives to release any document that is related to those allegations, and today he is denying those allegations. He's kept a pretty low profile about it. He hasn't been doing too much during this coronavirus or doing any interviews, and the ones that he has done it hasn't come up. So now he is

speaking out about it. He was on MSNBC's Morning Joe, and this is what he had to say about these claims. She says in nineteen ninety three, mister Vice President, that you pender against the wall and to under her clothing and penetrated her with your fingers. Would you please go on the record with the American people? Did you sexually assault terror? Read No, it is not true. I'm saying on it quivocally, it never never happened, and it didn't

it never happened. You know, this is a tricky situation. I hate situations like this because we know that these very real issues are being weaponized for political purposes. You know, whether there's allegations against Trump when he's running, allegations against Brett Kavanaugh and he's about to be appointed to the Senate, allegations against Bill Clinton from Trump when Hillary is running.

Now old sexual allegations against Joe Biden, Like, things like rape and sexual assault should never be weaponized against people. These are real issues women go through and they should be not they should not be used to take people down, because seriously, how can you take these allegations seriously? When we see things like this all the time, when people are running for these positions of power, like it just it just looks so fishy, and it's just it's just

not good to weaponize those real issues. Man. According to Biden, he's saying that nobody else during his time as a senator in Delaware was aware of any of these, so I don't know. He says, there's no paperwork. He wants them to release paperwork, so we should see what happens now. Donald Trump had spoken on this too yesterday, right, he said, I think that you should respond. He said it could be false allegations, and then Donald Trump compared it to

himself having had quote false allegations. We have Joe audio of Joe Biden here. Why limit this only to terror read? Why not release any complaints that it may had been made against you during your senate career. I'm prepared to do that. The best of my knowledge, has been no complaints made against me in terms of my senate career. And turns my office and they spen, Ryan. Look, it's just an open book. There's nothing for me to hide. What the hell Joe Biden did he have? Did he

have a scroke mid sentence? Let's listen play that part again. They spen, Ryan, bro. I need that over, Missy work it immediately. Okay, Dan, what that over? Missy? Work it right now. I want to hear it. I want to hear what it sounds like. Let's go, God, damn it, that's Joe, mister Meana Biden, stop it, damn put oh put that in HD. What's the thing? What we got was the thing called normalized put could try. He's really trying to get the youthful. He knows youngsters like mumble rappers,

so he wants to be a mumble president. Joe, mister Meana Biden, baby, could you walk out to that on stage. You have to start leaning into this. Bro doesn't know what he said. If he doesn't lean into it, people gonna think that he is really having cognitive issues, which he may or may not be having. So what he needs to do is just say, look, people like mumble rappers. I want to be a mumble president. Do something with the megoes. You know what I'm saying. You know what, No,

don't do not with the megase. I can understand the megals perfectly, I can't understand Joe buddy. Now, as far as Terry read, she has comments about it too. She said, it was really devastating when Jilla Brand and Stacy Abrams and Hillary Clinton all on the same day just basically implied my story wasn't true and they believed Joe Biden. I can't describe to you what that felt like, she said. She is a lifelong Democrat, and in particular she's a

fan of Stacy Abrams. She said I'm just done. They didn't just say, oh, we're standing with Joe Biden until we hear more. They just discounted me. They marginalized me. They said they didn't believe me. I can't tell you I cried for a while because they're important in my life. They've been figures that I look up to. So that is what Terry Read is saying. By the way, you're entitled to believe whoever you want to believe. They believe Joe Biden didn't do it. They have every right to

say that, you know. But like I said, it just looks crazy because we can tell as being weaponized for political purposes. Because if it was the shoe on the other foot, which has been we've seen it a million times, whether it was Donald Trump, Bret Kavanaugh, they believed old woman. And now Terry Read, do you know what the accusation is Joe Biden of digitally penetrating her in the Senate hallway when she was a staff assistant in his Senate office back in ninety three. She said she did file

a Senate personnel report at the time. She also says that she told others in the office about the incident and was removed from her duty of overseeing the interns, and according to the Biden campaign, they're saying this incident did not happen. In three former Senate aids, all of whom Tara Read said she complained too directly at the time about the assault. He said they don't remember any

such complaint or that it did not take place. Well, I'll tell you what if there is a complaint on paperwork and Joe Biden is saying that it's not that he doesn't know anything about it, that's gonna look bad. But truth to the matter is nobody's gonna care because it's an election year and there's two choices and people have picked a side. Like there's there's no bigger side pickers than politicians. Politicians are bigger sidepickers than gang bangers.

You know, whatever crew you think you down with your day an got nothing on politicians. Democrats are gonna be die hard blue, Republicans are gonna be die hard red, and they're gonna ride with their guy or gal whether they write wrong or indifferent. That's just I hope we find out, we find out if he did do it or I mean, there's no way to find out if he did do it. But if she did write up that paperwork or whatever or report that, I mean, that definitely is proof that we can see that it happened.

But that's just a complaint. That's just an allegation. You know what I'm saying. You still can't prove it actually happen. That's true. That's that's the sad part about these situations. When we come back, we got the positive note. Dope move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, you guys have a great weekend. It's supposed to be seventy degrees on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, so this is

It seems like they're opening up this country slowly but surely, but still be safe out there. Word and listen, man. I want everybody to please go out there and get doctor Rita Walker's book. It came out the day, Um you know it is mental health awareness.

Muffin to read. A Walker has dropped a book that is a must read. It's called The Unapologetic Guy, The Black Mental Health and I want to give you a gym from this book. First of all, I want to thank her for coming on the show Zooming in with Us earlier, but also I want to give you a gym from the book because this is in regards to what you can do if someone thinks death seems like the best in the pain. She said, it's three things you can do to help a person in that position.

Assume that you can help, be a good listener, and cancel your judgments. And that's the most important one I want to read. You cannot be helpful if you're being judgmental asking why a person feels that way. Are trying to convince that person that things aren't so bad. I can't imagine a scenario. And what your personal personal values would help other people's judgment is exactly why that person

does not talk about their problems. If you know that you like to judge people and tell them how to feel, revisit the previous bullet point. Be a good listener, I'm telling you the Unapologetic Guy to Black Mental Health. It is a great, great read. Everybody in America should own it. You will be able to understand your mental health better as a black person, and if you're not black, you will understand the mental health of black people better. So go grab that book by doctor Read A Walker, The

Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health. Breakfast clubs you'll finish, or y'all dune
