Well, Charlomagne shot sat down with Lalla on his Hollywood Reporter interview. Shout out to Lila. We saw her last night at Natina's birthday celebration and one of the things she talked about was her own mental health and staying busy. But also it's become a crutch for me to sometimes I have to deal with a lot of things going on

in my life staying busy. Response. That hit me so hard because I feel in a lot of ways that's me as well. So there's positive and negatives in it because sometimes I don't know how to slow down because I worry if I slow down then like the reality of a lot of other things in my life for him. So I just work, work, work, work, work, and take care of Cayenne. That's like what I know how to do and what I know. I'm really great a broken

heart now. Now. Another thing that she talked about was having a high profile marriage and people watching you to be like I teld you, so it was a lot of pressure. It was a lot of pressure. Um, you know, it's it's good that comes with it, and it's bad when it's good as good and when it's bad as bad, because when it's bad, then everybody got something to say about it. Everybody has. Well I knew or I should have thought, she should have known or this and that,

but I didn't know a lot of it. I went into into it because this is somebody I loved, but I was leading with love. I wasn't eating want anything else. It happened, and it was a learning experience and it's just another chapter in my life that I can learn from. But it's also the chapter that brought me my greatest gift, which was my son. All Right, you can check out

that full interview. Yeah, she talked about a lot of things pertaining to her professionally personal life, and she talked about her divorce for the first time and how you know, stepping away from her divorce made her marriage made her stronger. So go check that that interview out on on my YouTube channel in the Hollywood Reporter YouTube channel. I've seen La last night. Shout the La Man Dope interview. All right. Now, Kevin Samuels, a controversial YouTuber YouTuber, has passed away. He

was fifty six years old. And this is all according to Melanie King, who says she's a close friend of his. She revealed on Thursday that she got family confirmation that he has passed away. She said it's one hundred percent true and the family has yet to publicly announce his death. But according to reports, he suffered from cardiac or a's a heart attack, but these have not yet been confirmed. But a lot of people did pay tribute to him, even though he had a lot of controversial things to say.

You never wish that on anyone. So our condolences to his family and friends. Yeah, I'm definitely sending energy, said brother's family. As a person who prays and wants to live a long life. I don't wish dying suddenly at fifty six on nobody, because he wasn't sick of nothing, eh. I don't know what his health status was prior to that.

All right now, the baby won't be facing any charges for his involvement in the shooting of a trespasser at his home in North Carolina in April, so according to local authorities, offices arrived on the scene, remember they found one subject suffering from a non life threatening gunshot wound, and he had reportedly traded words with the intruder before shooting him in the leg. He confirmed all of that on Instagram and he's not going to face charges for

that situation. He shouldn't you have defense? And I'm I gotta defend myself. I'm scared all these things. This won't happen to me and then you hop defense. No, Nope, I agree. I mean they still have to investigate. So just giving you an update. All right now? Kailani has said that what all right now? Kailani has shut down future interviews and she said no more interviews on her Instagram story. Support the music, I don't. I'm done. She said. All I care about is my fans. Only people I

care about serving as the fans. I'm here for y'all and that's it. I respect that she was supposed to do an interview with us this week and she canceled, so I guess she's standing by it. But they said she was sick, and I know she canceled a couple of other things that she had. I know she had a couple of other interviews that day that she also didn't do, so it wasn't just us, So I'm not sure what's going on out there, but you know m now. Romeel Miller has says that he lost fans after becoming

a dad. He spoke to Sharah Jones at page six, and here's what he has to say about having a baby. I lost a lot of fans, was like saying to me, hate mel when I have my daughter, because a lot of people did feel it was supposed to beat them. And it's weird as that sound, I kind of like felt like that pressure growing up being a child star. You have a different connection with your fans. It's like

your fans are really a part of your life. So I think that's why it even took so long, because I'm like, Okay, if when that day comes, I gotta make sure it's what the right person. It's not just, you know, a moment that happened by accident, but it has to be with somebody who's truly deserving because it's

gonna break a lot of hearts out there. Oh there's a lot of pressure, but yeah, you gotta live your own life for you, not for what people might have to say or think, or for the fans whose feelings might be hurt. Because it should be them. They if they're really your fans, they should appreciate that and support you and be happy for you. All right. I'm Angela

Yee and that is your rumor reports, all right. Now when we come back with our front page news, what we're talking about, Yes, and let's talk about the new White House Press secretary after Jensaki has stepped away. She left her role, and well she's leaving her role next week and Joe Biden has announced who is going to be holding that new position, all right. And also coming up next hour, Jack Hallow will be joining us. He has an album coming out today. It's called uh, what's

it called? Oh Okay. I was gonna say, kids miss you, Yeah, come home to kids and get you. Yeah. So we'll talk to Jack Hallow when we come back as well. I just to Breakfast Club, good morning. So Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same. I teamed up with Zyrtech for this allergy relief message. Springtime brings the

vibrancy to the air and pollen. So I take zyrd Tech when allergy symptoms start, save the tissues and vibrantly with their attach starts working at hour one and stay strong. Day after day putting everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we all to breakfast club. Let's getting some front page news where we're starting easy, Well, let's

start with the Johnson and Johnson COVID nineteen vaccine. The FDA has announced yesterday they are limiting the emergency use authorization of that vaccine to people eighteen and older, from whom other vaccines aren't appropriate or accessible, and those who opt for Johnson and Johnson because they won't otherwise get vaccinated.

They said in a statement that change is being made because at the risk of a rare and dangerous clouding condition called thrombosis that people have been getting after receiving the vaccine. They said they've been closely monitoring that vaccine and according and following the administration, and have used updated information from their safety surveillance systems to revise it. So

that also applies to booster doses. By the way, all right, Anne Karen Jean Pierre is the new White House Press Secretary. Jen Saki is leaving her role next week. President Joe Biden announced in a statement Thursday. She's also the first black and LGBTQ person to hold that position. Here is what Karine Jean Pierre had to say. This is a

historic moment and it's not lost on me. I understand how important it is for so many people out there, so many different communities that I stand on their shoulders, and I have been throughout my career, and so it is an honor and a privilege to be behind this podium and about a week or so when Jen is ready, and that is something that I will honor and do my best to represent this president and this first lady the best that I can, but also the American people.

I think if you are passionate about what you want to be, a where you want to go, and you work very hard to that goal, it will happen. Why is Jen Psaki leaving? Do we know she announced it? Yeah, she announced it a while ago that okay have funding on MSNBC. And did we ever figure out who job with Joe Biden? Which his hand he was trying to shake? Shut up? Man? Who shaking? Man? Hey? Hey? Saluted that

sister to shooted that sister the new Press secretary. And I hope we can get some legislation to go along with all that representation. Legislation to protect voting rights, abortion rights legislation in the form of the George Floyd Policing Act, legislation in the form of Bill back Better. That's what's going to get people to the polls. Representation is great,

but representation with legislation is what really energizes voters. All right, Well, last mate, Karine John Pierre became the second black woman in history to hold the Daily Press Briefing. She served in the White House a senior communications team since Joe Biden took office, and before that she was an adviser to his campaign and the chief of staff to now VIE President Kamala Harris. Her family includes her partner, seeing a National correspondent, Suzanne Malvo, and their daughter. So here

is what Jensaki had to say. And by the way, Jensaki's last day will be made thirteenth, And here's what she said. I just want to take the opportunity to celebrate and congratulate my friend, my colleague, my partner in truth, Kareem Jehan Pierre, the next White House Press Secretary. First, as you all know, she will be the first black woman, the first out LGBTQ plus person to serve in this role,

which is amazing because representation matters. She will give a voice to so many and allow and show so many what is truly possible when you work hard and dream big, and that matters, and we should not we should celebrate that, all right, all right, Well that is your front page news. Yeah. A lot of people leave in the White House. You know, Cedric Richmond quietly left the White House a couple of weeks ago too, and it's like he didn't get no press coverage. A lot of people are role as senior

advisor to the president. A lot of people are spooted man when when the President got off that stage and he started shaking the hand of nobody and people have spoken about that. But the White House got ghosts, and the White House got ghosts. We gotta get out of here. White House is haunted. I need to be somewhere safer. Absolutely. When we come back, Jack Harlow will be joining us. He has an album that's out today, so we're gonna kick it with Jack Harlow. So don't move. It's the

Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Breakfast Club, Breakfast Club. Your morning's will never be the same morning. Everybody is DJ Envy angela Ye, Charlomagne, the guy we are to Breakfast Club.

Now I'll understand the white man can't jump casting. I didn't know you was that talk? Yeah, no one seems to. I'll tell you like six two six three. Wow, Okay, it makes sense, so you can hoop in real life. I'm useful. I mean, let's just say I've been spending them. I've spending the last few weeks sharpening. So they got you, like, may be good. I gotta. I gott It's everyone's best interest for me to be good, and so I have no doubt I'll look good. But my, uh my, whole life,

my brand has been rebounding in defense got you? How did you? How did you have to audition? Did you have to play hoops? It was just more I think all the only person they wanted was me really, so I don't know if I had any comp but they wanted me to read. So I've read a few lines and I showed them that I was competent. But this is my first role. So it isn't Billy hoyt Is. It's the same thing. No, it's a new character. Oh okay, that makes it. I thought it was a remake, like

y'all playing. I mean, it's influence, but it's a new movie. It's a new story. Can you I can jump. I'll tell you that. We'll see did you play school? I'm not allowed to spoil the movie. Okay, yeah, you're trying to make it give the whole thing. You said you didn't even see it until you got casted, right, Yeah, I saw it recently. I mean I think the movie is older than you nine eight. Oh yeah, I think

about it. When you saw I was pleasantly surprised. Pleasant most movies from that era don't hold up from the nineteen hundred movies. No, not the nineteen hundreds, but the nineties. Sometimes you feel like it's um, I don't know. I thought it was going to be more gimmicky, like the movie posters like really colorful, and you know the title has like a novelty feel to it, and then I saw it and I was like, oh, this this is classic. The actual story, the dialogue is class like, it's really

well done. So so who you practicing with? You got like because you got money? Now, so you got like NBA players training you. Well, you know, the movies are set me up with some people. So you know, I haven't had to make any calls myself, but I'm open minded, but they've been putting it, putting me in with some people. Okay, did you get an acting coach? Yeah? Okay, Well how are you, sir? I'm sorry to come in so hot. How are you? I'm cool, I'm I'm busier than I've

ever been. Come home the kids. That's my mom texts me that last night. I mean she said, come home. Your mom misses you. She was she was texting me last night. She was like, yeah, I feel like I feel like you're a balloon just floating away, like just on some real I had to talk with my mom last night. That just kind of like reset me. Funny enough coming into this morning, because it's just like I've been on the move, and I think that's what comes

with anyone that's busy. And away from their family comes with it. But it's like this is the first time for me where it's been just go, go go. So yeah, I'm looking forward to, you know, getting this album out and maximizing it. But you know, I moved back to Kentucky, and you know, I want to be around my face. I don't want to spend my twenties across the world wearing my body out. You know, I want to I want to be around my family. So you got a FaceTime your mom or at least man while you're on

the road. I do, Okay, She just you know, she wants to be in my presence. He just wants touch you, hug you. Yeah, she don't want to go weeks without seeing you. Don't bring her places sometimes sometimes there's there's there's places, but you know what I mean. She has a job herself. She she's in Louisville. You know what I'm saying. She's she has she has her own aspiration. She's actually a successful businesswoman, so she she has things that she's cha chasing. But she just wants to see

her son. It's exciting to go to work though and be like, you know what, my son, because I know where everybody's might be like, you know that in Louisville is crazy. That's one of the things we were talking about last night. I mean, you know, people know my mom, but now it's like they know your mom. Yeah, and they have questions for and they want they want to know her. That's what she was saying, they want to know her now. But she always proud that you were

rapping because I know rap. At one time, I was like, ah, here you go. She introduced me to rap. Really yeah, she um. She was a really big rap fan growing up. She was at Public Enemy concerts and all that in the nineties. And so I dug into her CD collection in like the late two thousands, and one of my

earliest memories is her buying late registration on physical. I'm playing in the car and tell me, yo, you can't say a lot of these words, and especially the one that begins with a plea and now I look at you Kanye's album It's insane. It's it's her up. I know that. So she had, you know, she had the whole outcast discography. She put me on the tribe like my mom was seasoned, not just she loves hip hop. So I owe her my introduction. So she loves that I do this. That's dope. So what does she say

when you made that down to two album? I mean, she's just I really I called her after he called me to come out there and be on it, and she was just like, she cries easily. Do you remember the first time she told you she was she was proud of you. I mean, I'm sure she's told you that in life period, but I'm talking about because of

who you are now. She tells me a lot. She's told me a lot throughout the process, even I mean, I've been chasing this since I was a team you know, I was one of those kids burning CDs in middle school. I've been desperate to get on for years. Like this has been something that's been a long time coming from me. So in middle school, in high school, I was passing out mixtapes and I was hitting small enough milestones for my mom to look at me and say she was

proud of my dad too. Definite the beginning. For people that don't know, Oh, real quick, do you care to share it? One thing that she said to you last night that reset you? Honestly? That balloon quote, I mean just hurt like she my mom as well spoken. She has strong analogies, and so she was like, I just feel like you're a balloon floating away from it. It made you feel like you're not grounded anymore. No, I

just think the distance. I just think it was. She knows I'm still connected, like you know, but I just think it was. It just reset me, floored me low key a little bit, yeah, a little bit. Where do you get your sense of humor from? Oh, my dad. My mama's funny too, and my dad is sarcastic, has to be. He's witty, he's whitty. My dad's really funny. He was in construction. Now my parents worked together. They're on a local sign shop. People, let's start from the beginning.

When you started recording, you started making music, How did you get into the industry as far as meeting drama? For people that don't know, DJ Drama out there right there, it's out the drama Drama Cannon Lake like this I was in I was in Louisville twenty sixteen. I just graduated high school and I was in my basement with my homeboy and I checked Instagram and DJ Drama had followed me, and I remember looking over him. This is when UZI was red hot, and so drama was like

very known for breaking artists at the moment. Obviously been doing it for a long time, but right then for my generation, it was like, oh, DJ drama can change your life. The executive drama exactly, yeah, exactly. So um I saw that and I was like, Yo, wouldn't it be crazy if I signed the drama? And we like laughed about it, and I was like maybe one day. A few months later, I moved to Atlanta, six hours

from Louisville. So I was making drives to go down there and do open mics, like anything I could to get on and I just had heard through the great Vinio Drama wants to meet you. At the time, I'm working at Chick fil at Georgia State. Me and my best friends had moved down, like I'm trying to meet anyone I can meet you. So I castic as work. No, no, no, you just proved I was guy. Now we understand why. No, they didn't put me on front. I wasn't my pleasuring.

I was literally buttering. And that's how in the air, you know, it's like a machine. You just keep saying it like if you're doing it all day. You just want to get fast. Anyway, Anyway, I get taken up to Mean Street by Randy Ky Engineering. It's like a crazy story how I met Drama. But anyway, we hear it. I know it. I know. I'm just saying it's it's it's extensive. AnyWho. I go to Mean Street and I'm like, damn, it's DJ Drama, you know what I said. He's like,

what up? Like he just has his voice and I'm like, damn, you really sound like that. Like I'm just like, I'm tough about it. Um. And so a few months later we ended up doing the due but I knew immediately I wanted to be there. Obviously their success made sense over the years, but they embraced me and they saw me for what I wanted to be. They didn't see me as a gimmicker, like a novelty. They saw me as somebody that could really play ball. So there are

other places trying to sign you at the same time. Yeah, But it wasn't like I wasn't in that red hot space where it was like bidding war, you know what I'm saying. It wasn't like everyone wanted They were pretty early to be honest, I involved the drama Cannon and Lake in the process of like making your music. They're they're involved, and I like to go do it and then I bring it back to them, and you know, they're very honest with their opinions, and they pushed me.

I'll think something's incredible and come back and find out it ain't, so they'll push me. Yeah, I think this could be better. Cannon is you know, the heaviest on the music side, but they all, you know, once we get to the end of the album, you know, they're helping track list, they're they're they're part of the whole thing. You know. They want to be a part of every step, and I want them a part of every step. You know. I'm feel like I'm constantly seeking their approval. All right, well,

little move. We got more with Jack Harlow. When we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Jack Harlow, Charlomagne. Whose I did? Was it the flip of Fergie's that Fergie record? Mind? Probably did anybody think it was corny. Did they be like, no, I don't know about that Jack. Yeah,

well I wouldn't say corny. But when I was in the studio making it, and like once the first verse in the chorus sone, I was like, this is a hit. I was charged up. I was on everyone in the room, Yeah, this is a hit. And everyone was like, I don't know if it's a hit, bro like, and I was like, damn and my tripping is it not a hit? I was like, I feel so strong about this. So I'm proud of myself on that one. And I've been one of that type of record. I idolized Fergie as a kid.

So this is so full circle for what made you crazy? What made you push it? Regardless of people saying, ah, we don't know, you know, you live with it. You live with it after days and after a few days, I'm like, no, I'm not tripping. This is this is People are gonna be refreshed by this. Did you played for your mom? Obviously your mom was yeah, she knew it was hit. Yeah she was. She always just like on something she likes. What did what did the guys say that? Did the drums say? What did it smash

the first listen, okay, first listening smash Wow. And when they did that, they did that in front of some of the company that was like, I don't know. I was like, how does the record like that change your life? I'm in the midst of it right now. Yeah, yesterday they would say, there's a big crowd outside for you here at the station. I mean, it's another go one. I'm hungry for the next one. But I mean, yeah, I don't know about with Little nas X. You know

that has to be a great experience too. Everything that ensued after that, yeah, you know, it was phenomenal. I mean, the song changed my life. What really made me blown away about that song is when I added it to my set list and I realized, oh, he's making arena music. Because I was doing theaters last fall, song out like twenty five hundreds, and a lot of my music is a very conversational, intimate and when that industry baby would

come on, I see the place light up. So, you know, he pushed me to want to make bigger music because I'm moving in the bigger rooms this year, so I want to make sure it's just the Little nas is a legend. How do you remain humble on with everything that's going on, with the success and the met galas and the charts and all that, how do you remain

still down the earth? I think my nature just might be self conscious enough, even in something maybe an insecure way sometimes just like how can I be better like aware of myself? Like I would be embarrassed to lose touch, I would be embarrassed to become arrogant. And I keep all my my friends around, everyone that I've came up with. You know, I'm a part of a collective called Private Garden that we started when I was in high school

in Kentucky. It's like eight or nine of us, and the families continue to grow, but where the core of us is just stuck to get we toured together, you know. We we go everywhere together. So and I think when you come from like humble beginnings, especially down south, you know what real life looks like. Hard to get gassed up by this, I mean, and that's like a weapon when you go to La or some places and you have like a soul to project and people are just like, oh,

there's something different there. So not being from Kentucky is something that we've we've used to our advantage because you know, so many people don't come from a place where you had to chip on your shoulder, like we want to lift this place up. You know, they said you stopped drinking. Yeah, why was that? And then you have a drinking problem? Is it just you? Just thanks for asking that, because I want to make that clear. I definitely don't have

a drinking problem. But that was like my vice that I enjoyed. You know what I'm saying. I thought everybody raised off bourbon in Kentucky. I thought I thought they get your long bourbon early, not early, at some point, at some point you fall into it. Yeah, I just I haven't had a sip in a year and a half because I'm just I'm focused. I'm just hungry. I don't want to wake up with a draw throat. I don't want to wake up tired. I really care about my career a lot, and it feels like a fragile

thing that you know, not everybody gets. So while I have it, I'd like to just be clear. There'll be a time where you know, I can sit back and enjoy, But right now, I'm just like focus. It's helpful to us. I mean, it's changed. The last year and a half has changed my life and the lives of people around me. So we're rocking. So even when first class goals number one, how do you celebrate? Man? We were so everybody was like, come on, like, let's at least do champagne. We went,

We went to the studio. Everyone in there took um, took some champagne. I didn't drink, but I felt good. I'm just head down right now and I need to get better at enjoyed, but I'm I'm head down. I'm focused. That has Leap responded to you having a song named after to her on the album. Not publicly, oh, but privately she has well you know, I wanted to get

her blessing. I saw a FaceTime her and played it for it because I didn't want her to be blindside about that or feel like, you know, creeped out or anything. I want her to If she has said, yo, I hate it, I don't want it to come out, it wouldn't have came out. But she was like, oh, I mean it's not my song. I suppose it's okay. She was just kind of thrown off and she just let her go. So is that a woman you fancy. Is that why you made the record? I admire her, it's

about her. Yeah. Oh so now what like a conversation is more awkward after that? Or I said that less awkward? Oh yeah, I think we're good. We'll see how the record does. I think when the song comes out, she'll grow to appreciate it even more, not if it flops. If it flops. Right now? What about album projections? Because I see they're already talking about what the album is gonna. It's bizarre, isn't it. Yeah? That bizarre? Id they do

that with everything though music. Ain't nothing wrong with you know, making guesses, but it's almost like these like official mathematical projections, which, like you said, it ain't nothing wrong with it, but it's just I thought it feels pretty recent that they started doing five days ahead of time after it comes out, like five days before the official Now they have it before it comes out they which is crazy, But me personally, I like to see it. I'm curious. Was it based

on it based on pre sales? I couldn't tell you. Maybe maybe the amount of songs, the anticipation. I have no idea. What are you looking to do? M I mean the goal when we made this album was like last album I did was fifty one K, and so the goal for me this wasn't in the back of our minds all the time, but I was like, I'd love to do over one hundred K this time. Well, it's definitely gonna do that from so you know, if you keep pushing it, you're just gonna keep desiring, you know.

But so that was the original I said, be grateful that we got past up. What's the projections? I got it? I got it, Like two hundred I would throw me. Yeah, yeah, I think you cleared two hundred easy. That would throw me easy. Not seen the Drake record release it's coming now? You somebody who would? They say that? It's very serious about your project. You don't leave the studio with any records, you don't email any record So how did that record get leaked? I wish I could tell you that you

have no clue, no clue. Yeah, I was pretty devastated, really, yeah, because you wanted people to hit it on the album. It's just like it's one of my idols. Like I just wanted to control that moment as best I could. But you know, the universe has its way. I thought, y'all did that on purpose because the first class was out, and you like, you know, let me leak something for the street that's a little more rapid. I mean, nah, I wanted to clear the way. I wanted people to

be shocked when that came out. So, now, when you heard Drake's first, did you want to rewrite yours? I wanted to add to it. The moment he did it, I was like, because he went he bodied He wasn't stupid, He wasn't stupid. You feel like he bodied you on your own. I feel like the length, but I feel I feel like that's one of my best verses. It's a great it's a good verse. I appreciate it. But he went so crazy that I was like, yeah, I'm gonna have to add bars or everyone's gonna say he

boughted me all much. Yes, did you add bars? Yeah? Okay, on the one way that we hit Friday, it'll be yeah, there's new bars. Okay, there's new bars. It's longer. Our verses are the same length. Now do you feel like that disrespectful when I order to do that? I mean, artists got to do their thing when they right. But it's like God, damn bro. I feel um split because I actually feel like it comes from a place of respect, almost because they had to get into that bag. They

felt like, Yo, you know what I'm saying. You activated me, You pushed me into the space. Um. And I don't know how I could ever feel dispected, because what are you supposed to tell somebody? You don't take it easy? What I'm saying. You want somebody to give you a great verse, It's probably worse if they give you something

that you like. I don't even really like that. Yeah, and some of his bars meant so much to me that I could tell that he was like tipping his hat to me in a way that made me feel great. So I'm still holding a grudge against Drama. Just wanted the body drums artists doubted all right, well, low move. We got more with Jack Harlow when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, this morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the

Breakfast Club. Were still kicking with Jack Harlowe. Now, how did you hook up with Drake? The first time I met him, it was like twenty nineteen. We were in Atlanta, and I was at a party, one of his parties, and he was walking across the party and he saw me and he came over to me, and at the time, I was like pretty wide eyed. I didn't have a big record out at all, but he was tapped in on me and he's like, Yo, you have some you got some hard just told me. That meant the world

to me. We've seen each other since over the years. When I had a show in Toronto, he came to the show. I went back to the crib like we've gotten to know each other. And then the Turks trip, We've just took a vacation with each other. Yeah, what was on his phone when he was looking over Captain? I didn't see. I was looking into his ear lobe, so I didn't I and see. No, it was clean I've ever seen. It took like ten seconds. Like what

do I got for this? That's a great one. Taking out Out now one of the most important things you learned from like working with the Little Ways and justin timber Lakes and Prells and Drakes and on this album. I mean even like you said, Drake's verse was so hard. It's just you walk out of there like gotta keep sharpening. You know what I mean, I'm somebody's desperate to get better. I mean, that's why I've gotten to where I've gotten is I don't look at my music and I'm like, wow,

I'm so great. Listen to this work I did. I look at my music that I've dropped and I'm like, hmm, what could be better about this? What's not connecting with people? So all those artists make me reach. You know what I'm saying. They made me um, they made me want to reach to be better. Any intimidation factors sometimes, like

that's way I think it's a legend. I think I think earlier on, but I'm starting to feel you know, they show a lot of warmths to me, and they made me feel like I might be who I think I am. So you know, in this album, I didn't feel an intimidation, but I definitely have before in the studio. I've definitely had moments where I'm like, oh, I gotta

come with it. I think people could people respect you as a rapper, yeah, you know, which you know, of course, being white, that's people think, oh, you're just here because of you're skinny. But then it's like they I think they respect you because of your boss. I like to think, so, do you hate that white rapper conversation, like he's he's dope as this astead of he's dope as a rapper. I don't hate it. No, it don't bother me. Yeah. Do you ever listen to your old mixtapes and when

you were young passing them out at school? Yeah, it's like brings tears of minds, not on even on a motional level, just on some like turnish off that bad. I mean, it's like anybody like it's like a middle school pictures like everyone, even if you don't make music like you have something from your past it makes you cringe. I know, I see the beauty in it. It's just a young kid that wants it. But I can't hear that. You should put some off a throwback Thursday. Maybe we'll

think about it. Does that be cute just to see the pride? Are you were a kid? You know? Yeah, we'll see. We seen at the game and he was messing with the cameraman's camera woman. Did they try to keep her out for that because you adjusting the light so lose her job? Yeah? People were mad on the internet Um. You know, me and her were laughing together the whole game, so you know, I was just fooling around. But you know, I ended up apologizing to her because

I never imagined that's what would happen. And things have cooled out for it. So I've talked to her since everything's in a good space and you got her chickens. Yeah, I'm working on that now. You know you're getting hot when you start to get all the industry plant rumors. I know, right, you know the conspiracy theories. I had somebody tell me Jack Harlowe was the person that they're going to use to replace Drake. Yeah, huh, I hear. I'm like destroying masculinity like a bunch of stuff. You

know what I'm saying, screwing masculinity? How was that? How was hearing that? No? No, how would you destroy masculinity? That's what I'm wondering, because you don't come from what? Wow, you had that venture? Ready? What do you mean? I'm a lyric? I'm a lyric. One of my songs where I say I don't come from there, but you could try, though, I don't know you can pull that up. That's just game. You just say that to her, So she go down and down there forever. Some people don't is that true?

What like? Is that a true lyric? Are you just say that to all? My reps are real? So never Well, I'll tell you this, goodness, gracious, I'm not gonna say that ain't the true lyric on the show? Right now, I'll tell you that that's facts. Okay, that's my life. What do you ask after that? He Now, I'm just thinking about because Emmy's wife had the same problem. That was a little different in yours, a little different statement,

so awkward sixteen and fifteen. Right, you met her yesterday, right, So the first ten years of our relationship, she didn't reach into orgastle. Ok, it's okay to say laugh, it's no funny. I can't believe we're here. Yeah, So she had to learn her body and I had to learn her body. We were young. I was her first. We didn't know. So we talked about it in the book, and that's what it was. That's I love your vulnerability. There you go. But they say you're just growing masculinity.

It might be bro Huh. You got to Panga in the trailer. Yeah, we're you a fan of that show? Growing up. I missed out on that show growing up boys? How you know the pane in. I mean, she's still iconic, she's she's still the test of time. She's I'm familiar, but I just didn't grow up with the show. Wow, So you're trying to double back like I just saw him. I just think she's iconic and I got a lot of love for her, and she's been supporting me crazy

enough since like twenty seventeen. Really, yeah, she was super early. How do you she's supposed about you and stuff like that. Yeah, like she had a um she may still have it. She's a podcast with her husband Jensen, and they brought me on really early. So they've just been showing me love for a long time. You know, some some relationships just work out. They're organic. You seem like the technic

that I don't forget things like that. You don't forget people who were like early correct on you correct and also seen you at the met Gallo, Yes, what do you? What does Jack Hallow do at the met? Galler shakes a lot of hands, wanders around. Is it uncomfortable for you? Like you comfortable to moments? There's moments that are uncomfortable just because of how surreal it is. But that was my second one. I went to the recent one in September, and that one was more wide eyed jack. This one.

I walked in there like I've been ten times or something, so I felt comfortable. The other night, you feel like, yeah, happily. I was looking at the outfit. I was, you know, sometimes the theme has thrown me off at the met galler, Yeah, you know me both. I was like, I don't understand what you're supposed to be wearing. Do you like doing interviews with people like that? Like I've seen you do an interview on the red carpet and ladies like what are you wearing a suit? Or you just do that

with them? The second one, the ladder you see. Maybe I'm just like like protecting myself by being silly. Who knows. I don't know. Sometimes I just things fall out of my mouth. We abotter say, did you see Game one of the Stopping It's wrong with you? Come on, give the mouth, don't you know? Grew up on this show? Man Charlotte Mane, I bro Bro lovers for the longest time. People shut up. You gonna tell your whole sex life? Just keep telling your sex life. You said you're bro

So breakfast club. You said the two referees were asking who is Jack Harlowe? Did you see that? Yeah? See that? Yeah? I have no idea go ask him. That was amazing. What did you think about it when you saw iconic? I mean

it just I don't know, it's perfect. And then I was like, oh, it's a least week, like we're the start exactly what I'm that's a whole article, Like was he really in Chronicles of Narnia? Oh yeah, you did a whole article. You got that right? Did you get it? Yeah? Because you see what they say about me. You see the mean Yes, I saw, I saw them, and I saw I feel like, I can't tell if you have seen it for now, it's not look like the guy in the movie. Yea, yeah, I get that. I didn't

Yeah, it's like because there's a community of people that are like he was really a NARTI that well that he was really a Narnia So I don't know if people really Yeah, they said I look like that half goat guy, So I'm an idiot. So the fucking when they when they posted um talking like, I was like, clearly they never seen Narnia and people are like, I'm a idiot. What I thought? You really dressed up as a goat to go to the met gal picture? Yes, I swear to god, I

thought he was. To be fair. The photoshop on that was phenomenal. I thought it was real. I promise you. I thought it was just lanced at it. And if the Mac Gallaxy. You're not confront of me about that yet, I don't care. I was like, that's the Mac Gallop. He would dress crazy at the Mac. You really thought, I was? I promise you. I thought that was you, bro, That's amazing, that's amazing. I scammed by it. I was like, I said, damn Jack dressed. I can tell if he

Man Albums out today, manum Let Do movie Star featuring for All Okay, let's get into it right now. The albums out right now, come home. The kids miss you and we appreciate you for joining us. It's been a pleasure. Alright. It's Jack Harlow. It's the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is cj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the

Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rooms. Let's go. Time's filling the team. This is the rumor refor with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, TMZ obtained some audio of Dave Chappelle at the after party from his Hollywood Bowl performance where he was attacked on stage, and here's

what Dave Chappelle had to say about that incident. When it comes to Isaiah Lee, the man who attacked him, he is not going to face felony charges after the DA declined the case, but he will face four misdemeanors instead. So um that includes battery and possession of a weapon. And in a press release in video message, the Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Fierer announced that and said after reviewing the evidence, prosecutors determined that while criminal conduct occurred,

the evidence as presented did not constitute felony conduct. Yeah, he should have got a fake gun. He had a knife, and if if he would have been able to do what he wanted to do, which was probably stabbed Dave Chappelle, then where will we be at this situation. But the fact that they got out of him and now charging a ffelony, I think that's why. Well, let me ask you a question. What I have to do to be charged with a felony in Los Angeles? Like what do

you have to have him act? Actually die? But you could tackle a man, have a fake gun and a knife and he could bump his head and die. But you know what, it's just it's crazy. Yeah, because I saw he got four misdemeanors, right, And I know California is a very progressive state, but come on, guys, like you can't be that lenient on a person for misdemeanors for rushing the stage, sneaking in with a fake gun and a knife and tackling a person. Come on, come on,

that's a soul. Now. As far as the Hollywood ball, they said they are reviewing their existing procedures both internally and with the assistance about had experts to continue to provide a safe and secure environment. They have implemented additional security measures, including an increased number of security personnel on site to assist with bag checks and other security procedures. That is a comedian that they actually seen the guy sneaking the VPP and he said he told security. This

was on TMC. I just ran in. The said security did nothing. But they said they'd seen the guy sneaking the VP and they told them and security did nothing. I talked to people at the show who said that the security was just terrible. Period. They said they walked in with a fanny pack and their homegirl had a big person. They said they didn't get searched at all. That's crazy, all right, Now for it to Doug was arrested by federal agents after landing at the airport in Detroit.

That's unfortunate, and that is for failing to surrender and serve well for failing to surrender, and he has to serve a six months prison sentence. So basically he was on probation. Last May, he entered plean negotiations for a gun charge was carried to maximum sentence of ten years. So after that plea deal, he was able to avoid jail time but they revoked his probation soon after. They gave him six months in jail in two years of

supervised release. Now he um, I guess I had to go straight to jail now, So that's unfortunate for him. He's got a lot going on, so he's facing up to five years in prison now. And Little Wayne has named his top five rappers ever in a conversation on the What's Right with Nick Wright podcast, and here's what he had to say about his top five rappers. It's always going to be first, Missy Elliott, huge influence of everything I've ever done. Jay Z is the best to

everyone speak, and Biggie obviously Biggie. Then I have I have the whole as a whole. I have Goodie Mob okay okay, yeah, and then I have Ugk okay. But so you don't have yourself. Oh no, I hate touched him. Guys, I would never put myself in my list. Oh, he's definitely on that list. Wayne gets Busy absolutely positively. Yeah.

Wayne's always given up Missy her flowers. He's always said Missy is his number one and drop on a clue's bombs for Goody Mob and UGK behold in Biggie speak for themselves or Goody Mob and UGK, if you've never done yourself a favor and listen to a soul food by Goody Mob, please go do yourself the biggest favor. One of the greatest albums of any musical genre of all time. And I like to hear Wayne doing any all right. No, Wayne hit me one time and said

he wanted to come on to Breakfast Club. I don't know if you know what happened with that, but I love to hear Wayne doing doing interviews. All right? Well, Missy Elliott responded, She said, whenever a little tune she says my name in his interviews, Twitter don't have enough space for me to say my gratefulness because he is a legend himself who breathed many mcs after him, and as a man to acknowledge me as a big influence

for him. I send you love. Wayne. Another reason this warms my hardest because I've seen many times in a Wayne he said my name over and over for years, no matter who the interviewers are, and he has never been hesitant to say me as a female. And for that I am forever grateful, all right. And since he

mentioned goodie mob. M hm, let's talk about clo. He sat down and did an interview with Paid six to Shara, I don't know what's going on, but um, he was talking about trying to survive in the streets of Atlanta. Here's what he said. He had to go through why I used to take people's shoes and take people's jackets and stuff like that, just hang around at the train station and robbing people eighty seven. So he basically said, you took my shoes at Hightower station. And I said, sir,

I'm so sorry that was so long ago. I'm so young and ignorant, you know, Please forgive me. Then he said, oh, I've already forgiven you. I've forgiven you a thousand times your music. Let me know that there was a in the ventual in your life. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, missy Charlemagne. Who are giving that donkey too? Well, if they can get things right, I'm gonna give it to this young man named Philip Tossed. I don't even how

you pronounce his name. It looks like all the ESSs are silent, but Philip Tostos. I'm sure that possibly be his last name, but we'll figure it out. But that's who's getting Donkey of the Day because he is a friend who was entitled and I'm sure that you know we all have some of those. We'll talk about it for after the hour, all right, we'll get to that. Next is to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Angela Ye here

I could take it if you feel I deserve it.

Ain't no big deal, I know, Charlott, Mini dogs funnish. Gotta say something you may not agree with, doesn't mean what I'm mean. Who's getting that donkey? That donkey that 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. Yeah, it's Donkey of to day for Friday. May six goals to

a Windsor, Ontario man named Philip Sauces. Okay, his name is pronounced t s O T s O s and according to how to Pronounce Thing when you Google it, it's pronounced sauce. So I don't really know how to pronounce his name at all. Okay, I just know his last name sounds like it should be a pizza brand, which is ironic because he is a pizza delivery driver. Sau Soul's Pizza, Okay, sounds sounds it's in the frozen food section, right next to Toteenos, right by the de Jarno. Okay,

grab me a sauce pizza. Well that dream they could have been in reality. Okay, this man could have had his own, you know, uh, frozen pizza line. But old Philip missed out on some bread or should I say doe? Wait? Maybe cheese? Yeah, Philip missed out on some cheese. Raise your hands if you if you're listening and you are an active member of a lottery pool. Okay, okay, I see you in Columbia, South Carolina listening to us on Hot one or three nine. You're in a lottery pool

that plays powerball every week. Okay, keep going, you never know, all right. I see you in Savannah, Georgia listening to us on a ninety four point one to beat. You're part of a lottery pool that likes to play that Jumbo Bucks lotto. Huh. Monday's jackpot is three million dollars. By the way, Oh, what about the lottery pool in Houston, Texas? Salute to y'all. You listen to the Breakfast Club on ninety three seven to beat. Y'all like playing that Texas

two step? Don't you ha the winning numbers for that last night with fifteen, twenty six, thirty three, thirty five and fourteen. By the way, next draw on his own Monday, and you got a chance to win two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. Now, I'm assuming folks do the lottery pool because the more tickets you can buy, the more you increase your chances of winning. I love it because I'm awful. Collaboration, Okay, unity and group operation is

a must. But the thing about collaborations, there has to be something in place that makes that legal collaboration binding, because one person could take all the credit, and taking all the credit could lead to that person getting all the money. And how can you trust this person to break bread fairly when they get all the money, Or in the case of this pizza driver Philip, how can he expect an equal slice of the bye? Well, that's the dilemma Philip has gotten himself into. See, Philip is

suing his friends. Maybe I should say so called friends, but he calls him his friends. Okay. Philip was a part of a lottery pool, a group of sixteen. Let me tell you the story because there is no news report. Philip, who is a pizza delivery driver, said he recently left his job at an auto parts delivery company, but he remained in the lottery pool with his colleagues. He said the pool was put on hold in twenty twenty during COVID, but picked backed up, picked back up again in March

of twenty twenty one. Now, Philip said he didn't always pay for the tickets right away. Okay, but the pool operated on the credit system and at times in the past he had old up to one hundred dollars. Okay, but he always paid it off. Phillip said, in the six years he's taking part in the pool, he's never been cut off, and the pool operated on an opt out basis. If a member chose to exit, they would have to tell the group. Now, Philip and June said

he had a tab of thirty dollars. The organizer of the group told Philip he would need to repay the thirty dollars and put another ten into the pool to remain in the group. They had this conversation via text message. Philip told the organizer of the group this Friday, I will put that money in then, Philip said. He replied, actually, I won't have to pay you anything. Just take it

out of our winnings when we win. Well. The groups organizer, Stephen Tedesco Paul, y'all got some names on y'all where he' voice to death go. Also sounds like a frozen pizza by the way, he told Philip, ha, okay, but I charge interests a high interest rate. I have kids to feed. Lol. Another member of the group replied to Philip with a reminder, Hey, pay your ten dollars to stay in which Philip replied, I'm in and then the person reported reportedly replied, okay,

just wanted it in writing before the drawl. It's almost like these people in this group just knew they would do for a win and when they did, because this group of sixteen won one million dollars a one million dollars max miilling prize on a Lotto Max ticket. And guess what they gave Philip. If you guess, not a damn thing for five hundred alex, you are correct. And now Philip is suing for seventy thousand dollars and other costs, including interests. Let me tell you something, Philip, I don't

think you have a case here, Okay. See there's this difference between legality and friendship. Okay, business and friendship. On a friendship level. If dude been down for the last the last six years, and you know he missed the week, he missed the week of payment, I might still break him off because that's just the type of person I am. But I'm not entitled to do that, okay. And the key word here is entitled defense lawyer for the group. David Robin said, mister Sosaus or whatever hell his name

is did not pay to play. Okay, so we deny that he is entitled to any of the relief that he is seeking and will be vigorously defending the claim. In this instance, he did not play and he was not included. I agree he's not entitled to any of the money, but he feels entitled because that's just how friends are. Sometimes. Some friends that have been around you for a long time always feel entitled and guess what they are not, especially if they jump off the train

before we get to our destination. That's what happens. Sometimes you and your folks been doing something for so long and everybody doesn't stay down. People get exhausted, want to do other things. Maybe they stopped believing like they once did. And it's that one moment, that one moment that a president decides not to be down, that the breakthrough comes. And that's what it seems like happens in this situation. Okay,

I don't believe the friend group owes him anything. I don't know what he's entitled to legally, but the group owes him nothing. And Philip, you definitely not gonna get your money now, because what would have been your portion of the money it's going into a lawyer, now, okay, to defend the group against what I think is a frivolous lawsuit. Please give Philip sauceauce. Damn is this sauce sauce?

Give Philip sauceauce. The sweet sounds of the Hambletones. Oh now you are the dogee, oh the da doggee, oh the day ye. All right, well, thank you for that. Donkey's doing a situation like this? What are you doing a situation like this? I don't know to think about it. If you if you invest in something that hits right, and your friend could have like let's just say your friend invested with you a couple of times before, you know,

and the investment didn't pay off. But this one time that you invested, you telling him like yo, get that, get down on this, and he didn't or she didn't, and then you know, it pops off. Do you owe that person anything just because y'all invested in some times before? No, you know, you don't owe anybody anything, but if but if you choose to do it nice, But if you don't have to, that's why I say I feel that way too. All right, Well, thank you for that, donkey, today. Now,

up next, Torrey Roberts will be joining us. He's an aw roberts Man, pastor, okay, spiritual leader, entrepreneur alright. He comes from a great family of spiritual leaders. That's Bishop TD Jake's son in law, and he's married to Queen Sarah Jake Roberts Man. I love hearing these individuals speak. Okay, they really got us through, especially during the pandemic. So I can't wait to talk to Tory Roberts. She's got a new book out called Balance. That's right, and we're

gonna kick it with him next. So move it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, author Torrey Roberts. How are you, sir man? I'm excellent. Great to be here with you. Absolutely the new book Balance, positioning Yourself to Do All Things Well. Tell us about that title, man, Well, when you think about balance is something that everybody's after. You never hear somebody saying I

feel like my life is so balanced. It's always something that they're operating from a deficit from. And so so I've discovered through my own journey with balance, balancing family, life, church, ministry, business, that you can achieve it because most people think it's a myth. You said balance is a place, so tell us about that place. Yeah, so most people I think

the balance is a discipline. If I if I figure out how to divide myself up to you know, between my family, my work, etc. Then that's how I achieve balance. But I've discovered that balance is really about becoming all of yourself. It's a place where where peace flows. It's a place where your highest self lives. And so it's not about discipline. It's about what you bring to becoming whole. So in other words, I'm then put it this way, It's not about giving pieces of yourself to something, because

that's what most people think. I got a family, I got a wife, I got all these particular things. How do I givvy myself up? And I can't give my wife tim percent of me, that's right. I can't get work tien percent of me. So I have to find out how to become all of myself and then give my highest self to everything in sequence. Let's talk about

how you got to that point. Because in the foord of the book, the Great Sarah J. Roberts your wife, she's I can remember the first time I witnessed him break the rhythm of our life so that we could address with the soul of our family needed. What did that look like? Oh? It was amazing. So so a lot of times we get we get caught up in the rat race of things, and we do have responsibilities, and those responsibilities are real, but the reality of it

is there's something missing, that's something that we need. So I had to stop and recognize that. Yeah, you know, I had a congregation, you know that day, I pretty much I didn't councel service, but I excuse myself for the pool. But I asked somebody else speak because I realized that what my soul needed and the soul of my family needed was not for me to get and go stand in that stage, but for us to take a minute, pause, breathe, and get what our family needs.

And so in the book, I talk about the difference between self awareness and soul awareness. Self awareness, a lot of people are self aware, you know, they they they are trying to understand why they do things. And and I think it's wonderful self aware. Yeah, and it's and it's and it's a wonderful thing. People are trying to get in touch with self, but there's a deeper level to that soul awareness. You know, you you you were created not just a self, but a soul, and so

it's a it's a deeper level. So I so me taking the time to be still, I saw what my soul needed and the soul of my family needed. And that's it's just critical. Self aware, but soul aware. Are you really tapped into your soul? You know? And in order to do that, you got to stop, You gotta life is noisy, most people see. If you don't know the difference between self and soul, your soul will be

craving something. Your soul will will need something here, will long for something, and you'll be trying to satisfy it with what self wants. And so you'll be trying to satisfy with what you know. Physical things are that kind of stuff. Because you're trying to you sense the longing, but you aren't in touch with your soul deep enough to know that it's the soul that's hungry. And what you do to satisfy the soul is different for what

you do to satisfy itself. No, I think that's so interesting, and I agree with you one hundred percent, But I feel like there has to be a level of self awareness even though you're lacking that for sure. You know, self awareness is where it starts. I mean, it's a beautiful thing. I'm not down in self awareness. That's where it starts. But there's another level. Now. Another thing you

talk about is noise and everything. And I thought about that when after I read that, I was paying attention to, like all the noisiness around me and trying to just find that stillness. So can you discuss that for people who maybe having that same issue. Yeah, I mean the reason why most people aren't so aware is because they don't know how to be still enough. Man, life is life is noisy. Like every single day, there's so many things coming at you that you don't know, whether it's

your thought, whether it's somebody else's thought. You get on social media and you scroll and you go through like forty different emotions in thirty seconds. You're mad, you're happy, you're sad, Yeah, it's you're jealous, all these sort of things. And so it is the discipline of silence and the noise.

And here's why that's hard. Noise has become normal. Stillness should be normal, but but it's so noisy, and so you gotta be extremely intentional about shutting it down, silencing the noise so that you can hear your own thoughts and prayerfully connect with your soul, because your soul knows what it needs, and if you listen to yourself, it will lead you to balance. That's an imbalance, that's a heavy imbalance, because you'll have people and I think about this.

You'll be at this person, will be at home minding the business, and you'll post something that you know what's going to furiate people. You pull something that you know what's going to be noisy, And I'm like, why would you disturb your peace? Why disturbing the piece of others? Yeah? Yeah, Well I think that if when you're a noisy person, in essence, you you're a chaotic person. Chaotic people create chaos.

It just kind of is what it is, and it isn't until you can come to a place of stillness and quiet the noise in your life where you don't have chaos inside that you can manifest produce project chaos outside. And that's why I wrote this book. I want to get rid of the inner chaos so that we can come back to this place of flow and harmony. What is the ways you do that for me? Like people always ask me, like what what's the first step to balance? I say, the first step to balance isn't a step

at all. It is to stop. And the crazy thing is here, here's the heart. People think that it takes faith to step out, and that's true, but it takes more faith to stop, to believe that that you can actually stop and your world will not come crashing down. You need to stop. I need to stop. We're not machines. We can't even machines can't run and run and run and run without service without coming down. So for me,

you know, I stop, I get still. I try to become aware of what's going on, Like what do I need? You know, this day it might be a drive, you know, I might just need to drive. Another day it might be a walk. Another day it might be you know, just to get still layout meditate, And so it changes if it varies in the moment. But if you're still enough and sensitive enough, you'll know exactly what discipline you

need to get where you're trying to go. Can you expand on the five signs of imbalance that you talk about in chapter five. The first one is stagnation. When you feel stuck, just know that you're out of balance because everything is supposed to move. We're moving right now. If I look close enough at you right now, I'm going to see your chess going up and going back. The whole earth is spinning. If you don't have that's probably lit nasty. But if you don't have bio move,

is you in trouble? Yeah, So stagnation is unnatural. So stagnation is a sign of imbalance, declining thought life right all of a sudden, no matter what somebody says to you, all you here is a nigga. They said hello, and you said, why are you talking to me? I'm trying. I'm trying to you know what I mean. So a declining when you when you go to the lowest possible outcome of a conversation, that's another sign. Weariness is another sign of balance. Uh. And there's a difference between tiredness

and weariness. I define weariness as this the gradual gravitational pull down to the tarback of disaster. When you are weary, you are on your way down. You're not producing right, you're not acting right. Listen, your integrity can start slipping. Why because because you're weary, and the way that you deal with weariness is different than the way you deal with tiredness. Tiredness you can take a nap and be okay. Weariness means that you are physically, emotionally and spiritually drained.

You need an app that's good, but you're gonna have to do something to restore your spirit, your soul, and your mind. Get you back a line so that you can get busy and be your highest self. Envy and jealousy is another one. Right, when you're not balancing, you out of balance. You hate to see success on somebody else because you haven't tapped into the environment that affirms you and who you are. Right. So so when I'm balanced, man, I'm good with you doing well because I feel connected

to that. And so those are just some of the signs. I think that was for the fifth one, I can't remember, but but yeah, just read the book. I'm not gonna give it out to you. Yeah, we got more with tor Ray Roberts when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club for the morning. The morning Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Tory Roberts. Charlomagne, let's talk about the power of no. And like you said earlier about you know,

being a servant but taking time for yourself. Oh yeah, you know, even if you are of service, it is okay to say no. You gotta set your boundary. Why why is the power of no so important? Oh? No is everything. No, it's important because yes, it's expensive. When you say yes to something, you are committing your energy, you're committing your time, you're committing your availability. And what happens is if you give out these yeses. And it's

easy to give out a yes, there's instant gratification. People love you, all your people please it all. You know, there's no conflict or whatever. But what happens when you've given out so many yeses? And remember your limited resource? You have limited amount of energy, limited amount of time. You're limited. So if you're giving out all your yesses all day, every day, was something that you prayed for,

was something that you worked hard for. When an opportunity shows up, you're out of yes's because you spent yes, it's currency. You spend all your currency on things that matter, So I think no is important. The only way that you're going to have enough yeses to win in life is if you give a healthy amount of knows. The reason why I love no is because no will qualify relationship, because there's relationships that only worked because you always say yes.

And if you can't handle my note, then we ain't friends. Question do you think? Because I know some people will say, well, well God never says no, which I disagree. I completely disagree with that. Could you break that down? Let me tell you something. So in twenty nineteen, I was blessed to produce a television show based on my life that we sold to ABC Studios. It was serendipitous. Every step

along the way everything came together. We sold the show in the room, we got the right writer attached to it, we got you know, it was it was, everything was flowing. It was blessed. We shot this thing on the same set that Seinfield was. I mean, all these signs it was on. It was all the trades were talking about a variety of how he reported deadline, this is going to happen. It was to put pilot the studio put millions of dollars into produce and that yes, yes, yes,

I'm in La. I'm from La. I got my backspack ready to come to New York for the upfronts because this show is going to series. I'm like, whoa, let's go, let's go, let's go. And then we got the call at the last minute Network said we're not taking the show the series. Wow, And I'll be honest with you. I tried to play it off, but I was devastated. But then something came to me, and something was like, God was in all the yeses. When you had all

the yesses along the way, you will praising God. Do you mean to tell me that you can handle God's yes but you can't handle us. No. What I learned is I knew how to win Charlemagne, but I didn't know how to lose. Who you are when you lose says more about you than who you are when you win. I had to learn that there's a difference between losing and being a loser. There's a difference between failing and

being a failure. I have this saying, never waste a perfectly good failure, because if you do an autopsy on your failure, you will find tips and tools and insights to set you up for the next win that will come if you keep your head up. Wow, how do we get over the guilt of saying no to people we love? And they'll they'll get over it if they mean at the end of the day, like you see, Because here's the thing. What we're talking about is loyalty. I grew up on loyalty. My parents were black panthers,

so the panthers were loyal to each other. I grew up in Watts. I knew all about loyalty there. I'm extremely loyal, but loyalty is tricky. I have a limit to my loyalty. And my limit to my loyalty is if me being loyal to you makes me disloyal to me, we're done. That's the limit of loyalty. So it is as fault. People say, you know, I'm loyal to a fault. Loyalty is not supposed to make you It's not supposed to bring you to a fault. Loyalty is supposed to be a good thing. So so you just get over

you say, listen, you can be nice. Hey, you know, look, I love you. I wish I could do this, you know, but I can't because if I do this, that's going to violate something that I'm trying to complish. How does someone know that they're balanced. Some of the signs I think of being balanced is you feel abundant, You have an abundance of patience, you have an abundance of creativity, you have an abundance of innovation, You feel abundant. And so when you're not balanced, it's the opposite of that.

You have a deficit mentality, you have a lack mentality. I know successful people, successful people that we would you know, some people would would just love to be them. But the only reason why they are successful on the level that they're successful is because they have a lack mentality. They're they're not running towards their abundance, they're running from lack. And that's fear. And the problem with that, you might say, well,

if they're successful, why doesn't matter. It does matter, because one, if you are successful being driven by an abundant mentality, you're unlimited. Fear is limited when you're when you're running from something and looking that used to me, I was running from wats you know, and I thrived in corporate America for many years. But I was running. I was running. I couldn't even enjoy it was never enough. Now you've mentioned watch a couple of times. We'll set you clean.

I appreciate you asked me that I was more around than that. But I knew all the guys. But but the closest game was great street. You never wanted to be either, you know that. I think that I admired as a young man, I admired who didn't have his father in the house. I think I admired the loyalty, I admired, the respect I admired. I admired all that stuff. But honestly, the older guys kept me away from it. They were like, I remember them, like, look, man, you're

too smart for this. Like you almost to a certain degree, ye like you, you're not really like us. So I had people like that watching out for me. And the street that I lived on, it was. It was amazing because like, crazy things happened across the street, crazy things happened on the street behind mine, But my one street, I think it's my grandmother's prayers or stuffing. My one street was covered and so so I think God chilled

me because it was a purpose of my life. Now, I did get shot when I was sixteen years old and I almost died. You know that that did happen to me? Yeah. Yeah. What's the difference between finding balance and finding worthiness? I think that worthiness is very much a part of it because I think when you're balanced, you you experience your value. When you're balanced, you don't really need much. I think that when when when you're not balanced, man, you're needing you know what I mean.

Like like in the book I talk about you know alone and how a lot of people think that being alone is a negative thing. No, it's not, in fact like alone if you break down the origin of that word is from a Latin phrase, a Latin phrase out honor, and that means all one. So alone was never this thing that meant that you would deprive a something or you're missing out of something. It actually means that you, because you're alone, you have the opportunity to be all one,

all of yourself. And so a lot of people you know, some or many people, I should say, you want to be in relationships that it want to be alone. It feel like it's a setback to be alone. No no, no, no no, no, no no, get your wholeness together, get become out, honor, become all one. When I met my wife, man, I wasn't half me. You don't mean I was all me, right. I didn't need her and she didn't need me, and

so it was our whole. And it's because we were all one that we said, hey, wait, we can rock together, because because we match, and what match was our horns? Torrey Roberts.

dogs owning everybody's content and everybody's information. Web three is more about you know, us owning our content as creators and monetizing. So you know, I created this platform for for content creators to be able to do that. But then I branched out a little bit and I wanted to,
