And I'm gonna always put myself in the top three because I always say, you know, when you give people the credit, you gotta give everybody to credit they deserve for being stupid, including yourself. I don't know who the third one would beat up? Sounds first, sign servant. Y'all want to include the brown from the Breakfast Club. Thank you? However, go get it off your chest eight hundred five eight five one on

five one. If you need to vent hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club, the Morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody's tch Envy Angela yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. He got some special guests on the line. Yes, and then to Rogi p Henson and the birthday girl Tracy J Happy than How are y'all though? How are the both for y'all? Great? Good? How you guys doing? Sean? I see you with the mental health, mental wealth. He's coming on up. I'm excited to talk about that a

little bit. Yeah, it's Sunday World Mental Health Day. We're doing it at the Marry Up Marquis Time Square from eleven to four, a day of mental health education and healing. Tracy will be speaking on the Black Woman's Panel. We're happy to have you, Tracy. Thank you very much, Thank your Grandfama's show. Thank you, Queen, appreciate appreciate it. Thank you, and y'all coming back on Monday, October eleventh with Peace of Mind. Yes, yes, we got a car helping us

all heal. You know, people that don't know about it, break down what it is and so people will understand. Peace of Mind is a talk show where we address different issues dealing with mental health. Where we will interview a celebrity because you know, fans think that just because we are celebrities and we have money, somehow all of our problems go away. So we show them that, yes,

everyone is struggling. You are not alone, even celebrities. Then we interview a regular person, every day civilian who is suffering with the same maybe mental condition, whether it's social anxiety,

whether it's depression, whether it's ADHD. We all have something right and so then we have the third segment of the show where we bring a professional and a psychiatrist, a clinician therapist to help us understand the topic we're talking about, to give us tools to know what to do when we are feeling the way or those who may be suffering or can identify with the subject matter

that we're dealing with. So it's an educational show. It's a show where we laugh, we cry, and we're also trying to show that actually, this is what a therapy session looks like. You know, you in a safe space, you talk about the things that are bugging you or that are keeping you down, and you have a professional there to help guide you through it, and you laugh, you cry, and it's really not as scary as you think.

I see some fascinating guests that you guys have on I saw the trailer for the new season, and I was just in my head trying to figure out Like Chloe Belly, I can imagine it's tough for her. You know,

her and her sister have separated their Instagram pages. She's put out some amazing music and videos, but then at the same time, all these people are coming at her now because they're still picturing what she was like when she was younger, and so I know things like that have to be difficult, and sometimes people don't look at artists as human beings that have feelings too, that part, and I think that's another aspect of the show where they get to see some of their favorites be human,

because that's who we are at the end of the day. You just millions just happened to get to see us go to work and see what we do. But at the end of the day, we have feelings. It's a real person behind all the flashing lights. How therapeutic because the show been for you, you both for us, it's like we're going to therapy every day. So it's been such a gift in that way where I don't have to go to my therapist as often as I used to because you know, the show has sort of filled

in that space for me. So to be able to talk about your own personal challenges, connect with others there who might have the same challenges with you, and then have somebody there to stop all of our bantering back and forth and say, okay, that's nice. I hear you.

You want to help each other, but here the tools you need, and you know, Taraga and I've been going through this for thirty eight years, having these conversations and sometimes where what we have to say is helpful to see each other, and sometimes it might not be so to be able to step back and say you my boom and we got each other. But let me go over here and talk to you know, right, she's gonna

have a more objective point of view. You know, I was going to ask, how difficult is it to get some of these people that you have that you're interviewing to open up? Is it very difficult? Because a lot of times some of these people never spoke to a therapist before, so you guys might be the first time that they're really opening up. So is that difficult. No, we have a lot of guests come on and they talk about how comfortable they feel because we are both

in therapy. We're not professionals, but we understand us, we understand our culture, we understand our people, and we know in order for any black person to open up to anybody, they have to feel safe and they have to know who they talking to is real. It's not like you're not fake, you don't have no other objective. We're not a show where we're baiting for numbers. We don't push people to tears or things like. Everything on our show

pretty much happens organically. We of course set the questions up, we make them feel very safe, and they just open up because we're open up, you know. Yeah, all right, we got more with Tracy Jade into Roger p Hinston when we come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Everybody is envy Angela, Ye we are. The Breakfast Club was still kicking it with

Tracy Jade into Roger b. Hnton. Now ye, now when we're talking about this new season of Peace of Mind, right where there's some moments that you guys were like shocked by as well, because I'm sure, like you said, people are comfortable. They're coming in there knowing you're not trying to get an AHA moment. But you have some amazing guests this season, so where there are times that you were like, I can't believe this is happening. G Herbo sticks out in my mind. Um that young man,

I mean, please watch this show, watch his episode. I hope so many young brothers watch that episode because I'll never forget this, my son. You know loves rap music, of course, and when he started getting really getting into it, but he was listening to the rappers coming out of Chicago, and I told you, Herbo that just listening to his experience growing up around all that violence and m He said, Mom, you know those the rappers in Chicago rapped from a

different sphere, Like I feel their pain. I'd I'd be pounding my chest because I can feel their pain, he said. And the sad part about it is that they're they're really superstars, but because of what they've been going through, they will probably never reached that success because of their environment. And this kid had never been to Chicago at this point. I wasn't shooting filming Cookie. This is what he felt

through the music, through the messages. And then when I really sat down and got to know Ji Herbo, I understood exactly what my son meant that. Thank god, Gi Herbo made it out. But he talks about all the people he said, he couldn't name what about one hundred of his colleagues they know that has died. Yeah, it's troubling because his story is the norm for our kids. Part. So I'm watching New York right now. The way they had the twenty one kids under eighteen who died by

gun violence. Yeah, um, in Brooklyn and all over. And that's that blueprint is traveling through every one of our cities right now. And that's scary. It's hell because they don't care. I gee, Herbo said out of his mouth. He did. It was the point of his like, we didn't care every live or die. You're talking about children who have their whole lives to look forward to, not

giving a sh about anything. I love ge Herbo because he's twenty five years old man, and I wish that I had the tools and the resources and the information in regards the mental health at that at that young age. So I love the fact that he's sold vocal about what he goes through it too. I mean, I just

I have such a respect for that young man. Like that, to me was my most special episode because I just I have a love for black men just so deep, because I just understand our struggles as a people and what is put upon the black man and which you gotta always gotta be strong and this and that. In the third and because I have a son, I'm a mother, you know, And just I saw so many men in my life that I love, and this young man, my father, my son, all of them men I loved, I chose

to love. I just, yeah, that episode is so important. He's so important. Yeah, And I think if we all, you know, those of us were in a position too, if we all just took one young man. You see them walking down to the corner store, you see them not you know, showing up places and to the job interview, whatever, If we could all just take one. And I know that sounds really like I don't know, you know, a thought that is impossible, like I don't have time, or

I'm scared, or whatever it is. But I you know, I am looking in the eyes right now of a young man that I love so deeply, and he's in the middle of this stuff, and he maybe watching right now or or not, but I love him so deeply. I'm willing to do anything to offer him just a moment of an opportunity. I don't know what he's missing, I don't know what is heard. He just lost his best friend, and his best friend was murdered three nights ago, and I know he's suffering. He's young, he's a teenager,

and I'm I can't give up on him. He's out in the streets. He's confused. That goddamn weed is going crazy. You know what it is? They get hooked all that crazy stuff. But I will not This weed ain't no herb. This ain't no herb, ain't read. I don't know what they doing, but it ain't right. It's mess messing out, baby, drop man. Pay attention to the weed. They're telling us. You guys have to brathat. You don't need to smell to say when you know what We need to change

the narrative. Where are the seeds? Where are the sticks, Roddy that you wanted organic? You don't want that gm MO stuff. No, we need see, we need season sticks. I'm as joining us. Make sure y'all watching Sunday. Make sure y'all go to Facebook watch and check out Peace of Mind on Monday, October eleventh, and check Tracy Jade out at the Mental Health Expo this Sunday from eleven am to four pm.

That's what you wanted to hear? Hello, who's this? Oh? Hey, okay? If I got something for all of y'all, really well, I've been like Solomagne all right. So, Charlotte Mayne, I can feel bad for the college college educated people in the room because they're probably getting dumber and dumber by the day.

Charlotte Mayne, you need to do to college. You'd be saying some real students stuff. And I can only astutely because you were so no child left behind, one of those few that got passing your whole life child left behind. You can go to college, and I'm just like, you just need to go ahead and do it. And I'm not talking about one of those honorary degrees. You need to go sit in a pass room with college wools, those fool papers and a mechanical pencil and give you

some education. Well that was how many New York Times bestselling offers two times over, and I have an honorary degree from Southolinda State University. I think you don't need honorary degree. You need a real degree. What I'm doing better than you? Yeah? He up there, man, man, because all right, but you'd be doing the room with the front page news, Charla Man. You'll come in, you'll ask something that he's literally just stated, because I want to

know a better understanding. They teach you that in school, right, don't say it again, and you'll be like, but wow, exactly what is real? Longed for a minute, and then you'll repeat what she just said was literally the why that is? No? That is that is not true. I want to know why. I want to know. I want to know why. What's wrong with asking why? Like I want to know what's the root of your trauma? Right now? Why are you so mad? Mama? You have a good day.

See that's the problem. What you caught I'm doing better than you. We are, don't We don't know that. We don't know that. I don't know. But anyway, up the other day about by Kyye West, it was really hyping up and Drake came out with a really good album and you're gonna sit there and talk about only thing you was too long and but some of the people y'all be hyping up on this show are so trash? Why why? Why do you think? Why? Why? Why do I think they're trying? Okay, for example, y'all hype a

party be so much party? I'm so sick. Doesn't her talking about her posy? I don't know if I could say that on the radio, her talk about it? Okay, I feel like I'm being inside that thing on every single song. But every time she's dropping anything, y'all be like, Oh, it's so amazing, it's so good, it's so wonderful. You ain't come out with real lyrics and talk about different stuff and young who who? Who? You see? Why follow up questions are good? Who are the artists that you're

dropping real lyrics? Tell me who just dropped? Man? Knock it off. I'll be on this radio talking about rhapsody. You ain't scream a rhapsody song yet. I might rapsody, but rapsy boring. That's see what I'm saying. See what I'm saying. But you but you to college educated one, but you can't appreciate a rahapsody. I might rapsody, but rapsody boring though? Okay, we ain't. Can hear Ratty on the radio or nothing like that? But Drake is actually exciting.

I don't like this. Let's combine. Let's let's combine. Everything that she's talking about was too long, because he got Win Pale used to be able to you. Ain't the guy us have to sit there, your boyfriend think your poom poom barn and he he wished that it was exciting. Is Drake? You got party? Best box? All right? Goodbye? Mom didn't get to me. I didn't like that one I heard him to take this. We supposed to be quiet a little bit. I'm not gonna lie like that.

I don't like that. Don't do like that. Next week, all right, we got more coming up next with a breakfast club. The breakfast club wanted everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are the breakfast club. We got a special guest in the building. The first thing he said, why these chairs don't raise? The chairs so short and right, and every time somebody comes in and they tried to raise the chairs up. First thing I said, is well,

Kevin Hart bought those chairs. He wants everybody to look short like him. Yeah, definitely. Uh, I don't know. I don't know a better way to say, remember he bought these chairs. I didn't he did, I didn't. But now that now that I did, I'm gonna se if I can get you guys another set to actually saying I remember you came here one time and he was like, you know what I should have did? I should put my name on the back of these chair. Yeah, I'm doing that. I've sent another set. I sent another set

and put my name on the back. But I make sure they raised. What's going on, guys, Kevin, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, I'm here, man in the building. How are you? Brother? I can't complain, brother, drinking milk, getting tall, same thing I'll say every time. So much on the table, you so much Netflix, so much Audible, so much Chase Bank, Like, like, where do we start? We start with True Story. Yes, we need to start with True Story. Okay, dropping November

twenty fourth. Uh. For those who do not know, True Story is my new series that is about to drop on Netflix. Excited about it? Drama, thriller. Uh, this is me in a way that you haven't seen me before. By the way, I have baby walked you to this point, the upside. That was my first step in the dramatic space and after that hit you with fatherhood that was a more drastic view with me and the world of drama. And then now now we're touching the world of drama

and thrillers. So myself, Wesley Snipes, Billy Zane, theo Ross. I mean, the cast is amazing, so many, so many talented people. But um, this is the real deal. People are gonna be blown away by this. What's You're sorry about? What's it about? It's a show that's wrapped around loyalty, trust and uh. It raises the question of how far would you go to protect the things that you worked hard for? Right? Like, what is your limit as an individual?

As a person, how far can you be pushed before you feel like you have to push back or take or take a stance of uncertainty right where you're you're making decisions that you that you didn't know that you were capable of making. Um, it's loosely based off of the template of my life, the backdrop, the comedian, the mogul. Uh, that's what the character is. But then it takes a shiit if into a darker world where you see that I'm not playing myself. Uh. The version of myself just

to get you interested. And then after you see, oh god, it's not Kevin, it's some others. It takes a spend, but it's it's some dope. His story. These two brothers and just you know, a whirlwind of their relationship. You know, like when you got an older brother younger brother, there's a there's kind of a thing where an older brother is in control and you know he's really much in charge of that relationship. But then this thing happens when the younger brother surpass as an older brother in life

and success. Uh, there's a narrative and there's a feeling that comes with that and that conflict sometimes, uh, sometimes put some real rocky water in that relationship. And in this case, that rocky water is dark. What made you do a drum or? Like? What what you wanted to challenge yourself? You think people only thought you were funny? Now not challenging myself And I'm talented. It's not about it's not about challenging me, man. I like because I

was good, was really good, thank you? Was really with shades oning on some rock staring not one that time. I've always I've always had the glasses I always wear glasses. Okay, s I'm trying to make it seem like I'm changing. You are on the hood. I've been changed. You're never having a fun card to get up here. That's a little different. It's very Cashuh. You got on emerald, that's how you know, Cam getting on he Cam. He ain't

got no diamond when these diamonds around them. You got an emerald on these things that these are signature changed. I've been wearing these favor the emerald on. Yeah. I mean, come on, what day have you seen me? There's different days you gefferent sales. Now, what what does that? What else do you have out of the Lucky Charms box? I know you probably got everything that's a diamonds, that's a riginal. I ain't talking about that. I'm talking about

a real the emerald, the green clover, the purple heart. Now, I'm you know, I like the I like the stone, so the emerald, the rubies, the sapphires, the pink diamonds, all that stuff I like, just like different. But it's all like the signature heart with the Kane, I'm getting

a different type of money. I don't think y'all realize that Kevin I know we're talking about the true story and everything else, but that evolution of Kevin Hart over the past decade has been incredible, from from growing up man, from No No, from stand up comic to the acting to now you can't You're just the mogul. I am very much in charge of my direction and my opportunity. I like the fact that I can control my narrative in the business and do the things that I want.

So this, uh, this ecosystem that now exists underneath the brand of Heartbeat is one that produces television, film, you know, uh, radio, literature, animation, you know, whether it be comedy, drama, it doesn't matter. It's all about what we feel is a great opportunity for us at this point, at this moment. So to his point where he said, why do you want to do drama? Why not? Why not going you know, develop

something that's just different, is outside the box. I can still find excitement, and I don't want to get bored with the business. I don't want to get bored with entertainment. Um. I want to find excitement and showing up to work every day. So that comes with the within the creative I like being a part of that process. So uh, that's why I am Charlomagne. You might be right. I'm looking at the last five interviews he did. He didn't

have glasses. Two years ago, no glasses. Tiffany didn't have glasses. I took them off. Glasses way back to seeing wet glasses. Glasses that money I can pull up right now that you're wrong that I can go to two data back black. Why I had glasses on Tiffany's interview. I took them off because I got mad, So I took the glasses off. Okay, the one before that, when I had on the dark shades where I had on like Brown, I had glasses on.

I took them off at a certain point when you guys get me hot, let's not just grab from all this money you're making. Because why here the next announcement, I think we're gonna hear, We're gonna hear Heartbeat Productions has partnered with somebody for a billion dollars, the way we saw with spring Hill and reach Wooden Spoons Company. I feel like that's gonna happen with Kevin Hart. What I feel like, there's none of your business. You wait till it's in the trade. Wait till you see that

in the trades. I don't know you know what you're talking about. Uh look man, listen, listen, here's here's here's what I will tell you. There is a blueprint that's been given and that blueprint has been given by Oprah by Tyler by Hove shouts out to my brother Brian mav Over there spring Hill. They're doing amazing things, man. But the blueprint is about ownership. The blueprint is about figuring out ways to control a narrative based on ip IP ownership. Um, we're not in this business to be

worked for hires forever. Um, you eventually want to be a partner. And what we're doing at our company and I say our because I don't have employees, I have partners my team. We've we've symboled an amazing foundation and within that, the goal and desire is to have tentacles, have branches, and these branches provide opportunities employment for so many. And you know, I love the fact that we are a black owned company that is all about equal opportunities.

So when you look under my hood, you see men, women, you see everything. We are representation of what the business should look like and be that equality, that movement, that portfolio, it's one of opportunity and future success for the next version of stars. So those stars are entertainers, those stars are exacts, those stars are creatives, those stars are heads of you know what I mean? Like it goes all

across the board. I've made mine, I've I've gotten to where I've gotten this star and not gonna get no brighter. It's about figuring out ways to help the next version. That's what Heartbeat is. That's what we're about. So you know, I can't answer that question. I don't know what you're talking about. Well, when it comes out to the trades, I'm going to say I told you so. Maybe you can't. Maybe you can't. I don't know. I don't know. We got more with Kevin when we come back. It's the

Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody. Angela Yee Charlomagne, the guy we all the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Kevin Hart. It's Kevin slow down now, because Kevin, you're super successful. You got three kids. I see you, I got four kids, four kids. You love hanging out with doing things with your kids. Do you slow down to be like you know what now? It's trying to be a far being slowdown on the work. So you know what, man, I'm definitely I'm trying to I think

I do need to to go a little slower. Um. You know now that we're we're getting back to a place of old, We're getting back to life as we once knew it. You know there's can't you do that? Or you would like you have to, or you addict it to No, I'm I got a problem. But like I said, it's a it's about the foundation. It's about this thing. And you know, making sure the bricks are secure, making sure they can't move, and you know, you start

to ask yourself different questions. I'm getting older, I'm forty two, So what am I doing it for? What is it? What is it about? I've gotten to a place where I opened up a door and that door had like thirty other doors. I just start peeking in those doors. So I know the different versions of success, and I

just want to tap into all of them. If you look at the things that I've done, right, if you go comedy, dramedy, action, adventure, action comedy, comedy, drama, drama, filler, docuseries, documentary, hosting, animation, author, radio hosts, podcast hostsite. It's I'm tapping into every single outlet because what I realized that everybody should. You can do it all if you want to. There is no ceiling.

So I'm having fun and discovering how much more you know the world of venture in VC stocks and real estate, all of it. Like, there's so much that you can do to occupy your time in your mind, and that's what I'm love with. So I don't know. I don't know about slowing down. I think removing myself from in front of the camera at some point that'll be the priority. But the world of what's going on behind will will probably be ten times as much as what it was

when I was in front. You know, your conversations have always been so interesting to me because you've always been so self aware and to hear you talk now saying things like because I heard you on All the Smoke and you were saying things like you won't always be considered the funniest or be the hottest at the moment. What what? What about that realization? I mean, that's the reality. Everything that goes up eventually comes down. But when you

come down, you know, you don't have to fall. You can come down and be better than you were when you were up if you manage correctly. It's not about being the best anymore. You realize that that mindset pits people against each other. And I can't say it enough. Man. You grow the up and when you evolve immature, the best thing that changes is just your mindset. My mindset is different. I operate differently. I'm not I'm not in

the world of being bothered. I'm not in the world of care when it comes to other people's needs or want Are you going to do another season of u um we? I talked about it because the documentary was was dope, it was honest, But it has to be when there's there's stuff to follow, you know. I don't want to just to focus on my world of work and success. I don't feel like that's a that's a good layer. I think you want to show how how complex life is in general, and that nobody is nobody

is free from both. My next one will be based on my company, the company's growth and the people within it and how they're managing success from the thing we built. I don't want to. I don't want to be the focus. Yeah, building dollar episode is gonna be crazy. I don't know what that's not. I didn't say that it's it's gonna happen. I don't know what you're doing in an atmospere. It's gonna happen. I'm just looking at what I'm not. I'm just saying I'm not. I'm just looking around. I see

what did I see what spring Hill did? I'm like, heartbeat is absolutely next. I saw a trade, I saw an article. It was like, you know, its hard to be getting suitors. People are snipping around. I'm sorry, I read these things I read. I've all if you read it, then maybe you saw I don't mean I don't know what's going on. I don't know what to tell you here. Anything you regret about doing it on the documentary, regret

absolutely not. The documents don't focus Up was dope because it showed how to find solution and problem right, And I think today everybody's focused on problem. Everybody's focused on the argument. How many people are focused on the solution and a conversation to stop the argument? You have? You have some big social media moments in the last couple of months. Don Cheto's age and me. You know, I'm

fifty six years old. Damn. I'm sorry because it was a fought, it was a thought, and I blurted it out that if we could play it back right now, play back. These are two different damns. Lay back. And so there wasn't I said, I said, there was no like wow, I said, damn, No, you said the word damn. Oh amazing, real moment, But goodness, you can't fake that. You've heard it's hard like you watch that hundred one of my closest friends now a second. I saw it in his face. He was like, don Cheeto and I

are extremely close. I agree, but you still heard the feelings. You heard your friends feelings. He thought, I knew. I didn't know you get I didn't know. Yeah, yeah, saw that out there like that. He was clean shaven, he was had a young love to him that day. He told me that said he got me. I didn't know that. I know what you meant, but it just didn't come off, didn't come up. But how do you think I thought? He caught me off guard when you started explaining it afterwards,

that's what made it even more funny. Said yeah, he said, he looked at me. I said, I didn't mean like that, Yes, she did not. It's like rewarding the take. You can't when you watch it. When you watch it, you'll see that that's not. That wasn't. How wid how many times did you laugh at it after you saw it back? Well, when we did, you don't realize it. But when people start cutting it up, you know the internet has got damn dangerous. They could do anything they want. Awkward was

it because they look una comfortable? Awkward for me? I wasn't that old. Ain't for me? He didn't damn me, damn anything. It was awkward for don. We got more with Kevin Hart. When we come back. It's the Breakfast Club, Good Boarding the Morning, Everybody's cdj En v Angela, Yee, Charlobe and the guy we are the Breakfast Club was

still kicking it with Kevin Hart. I also thought it was big that I don't I don't know the communist name apologize that he was tied up in something that was going on in your life, and you forgave him. You talked about it, and what made you say, You know what, I'm gonna be a bigger man, and I'm gonna forgive this situation and all that I don't know which community you're talking about, but I can assume who I can't remember his name. I'm I'm very once again,

it's just where I'm at. I don't have the time for bs. There's a lot of like who's funnier. Some of these comics take that and they they've run with those narratives and they they're getting golfed in that. I don't care. Got you there? What got you at that level of not caring and saying, you know what? It's? Google is net worth? Well, I've never been you know though. You gotta be honest, I've never been the I'm better

than guy. I've never been the the I do feel like you've been down my outwork, you guy, I'm I'm absolutely I am older. But I don't like the crabs and the barrel mentality. I don't like the idea that can only be one and it only lives in our culture. You talking about that situation, But I know what you're talking about. Respect, I was saying, But the fact that you're forgiving and that you can look over things, it's just it's a step I haven't got to yet. But

I love the fact that you're there. Why what's your problem. Honestly, yeah, it's your problem. Um revenge what I don't know. It feels made me feel good, maybe feel warm and cuddly, But what does it do after you get said revenge? So when somebody tries to attack you for no reason, it almost feels like why me, I don't do anything to nobody, you know, So it feels like, you know now I want you to die living but you But

that's that's life. And as a day's time, any narrative can be attached to anybody, correct anything like it's it's honestly sad. How it's different? Would it affects you? But when it's something that could affect your family, it's But I'm telling it's different. But I'm saying, no matter what the reality, the reality of the world do we live in today, it's claim first, no proof, no real idea if said thing or said said verbal is true at all.

I'm gonna take this, you know, from from my brother Dave. I did an interview and the reporter asked me, He was like, you know, how do you feel about Dave coming to your defense? And I said, why do you feel like he's coming to my defense? Why can't you see that he's just my my friend. Especially when you know a person, if you really know certain things you see you like, I know that's not Here's where me and Dave just laugh. The conversation attached to Dave's name

is attached to him as if people know him. Right. The reality about Dave Chappelle, this mother has everybody around him. Like when when I say everybody, I'm talking about everybody. So so like when the conversation attached to the LGBTQ plus community and it's attached with the negative narrative in association with Dave, you didn't really do your due diligence in looking at his world. That community is really around him, like his friends, Like I'm talking close friends are part

of that community. I'm talking people that Dave has embraced and has loved for years that are like Dave. That's not true. So the narrative, once put on and once attached was spirals. That's the thing about today. So when you talk about revenge, you're in a never ending cycle of incomplete buddy like that revenge ain't coming, like the win that you're looking for, it don't exist. So if you're not mature and cool enough just to chuck up deuces to the thing that you can't control and give

a goddamn salute. You're gonna be unhappy for a minute. It's bad to have that mindset, especially in today's time, as if you don't see it, and it's honestly not going to be corrected. Like you know, with the world of social media and the idea of what cancel and cancel culture has become the thing that it was and what was necessarily needed for the moments where you had to use it, it's now lost. So it's now this other thing that's so much you gotta go. People have

lost sad of reality. We're destroying people's lives, like we're saying, it can happen to any and everybody, everybody. Do you understand like we're now in a place where people we are going you, We're gonna take everything from you now and walk away, and that is when you walk away. Do you understand that this person that just went through that thing we're saying like you now can't work ever again? What happened to the world of progression, understanding, apology, solution growth?

When do we skip that? Yeah? Because humans are always failed purity tests, So I don't know why we well, we act like we're so perfect. Absolutely when did that happen? Though? When did we all check into the perfect box? You should deal with nuance, right. If you don't like a joke I said, you don't like something I said, say you don't like it, tell me where I did wrong, but don't label me as a whole thing because of one bad statement or one bad joke. I'll go further right.

I'm aware of the changes that need to be made, especially with the conversation attached to respect. I think it's dope. I think it is time we make sure retreating each other, not only fairly, but with understanding and appreciation that your life may be filled with problems and obstacles that I'm not aware of because my life is not the same. Because of that, I need to understand that, I need to fall back. I need to respect that. In that same instance, we also all have a choice. You can

support or not support. The thing that killed me the most is you know when you see all the conversation that was trying to be attached to Dave's special, Well, you got an option to go on Netflix, you got an option to search, click watch. I don't have to watch who I don't like. It's okay to not like or to not with. It's okay, oion if you like I don't like that, that joke isn't for me. It's okay. But there's now a thing of well, because I don't like it, y'all can and y'all shitt either. That's the

part where it just gets difficult. And by the way, guys, we're not going to please everybody. But the only thing you can do is try your best to educate, try your best to speak on things in a positive way so that people take the positive side with it, may understand it. I can say I understand a lot more now because of some of the conversations I had my mindsets a lot better. I can say that just on behalf of my brother. The thing that stuff for me is that you don't know him. He's a good dude

that loves hard. When you talk about Ohio, he has built a goddamned community economy in a place where he is from to make the place better for the people. The people in Ohio are all different, black, white members of the community. I'm talking. He put that on his back. He out there shaking hands. He's the mayor out there and he's doing it for the people. So when I see people speak on behalf of a man whose intentions are nothing but good and uplifting, it just makes you

a while. That's where we are. And this is not to defend. I'm not defending. I'm not coming to Dave's aid. I'm speaking truth of me, just going you don't know the guy. That's it. Let's talk about a couple more things if you get out of here. I don't know if this is a joke or not, but the comedy rights itself. Are you are you really playing Arnold from one night Only on a different show Jimmy Kimmel live

on stage, we're doing what you're talking about. Yeah. I thought that just looks I mean, it just looks funny on paper. It's just I said, Jimmy. Jimmy has been doing this thing where they create these old TV shows and they do it live. And he was like, what do you think about different strokes? And I was like, one of the funniest shows ever. He's like, what we created?

And he told me the people that he was thinking about man And when Damon Wins was like, he wants to be Willis and you can be on so you know, you put your own take on it. But I'm gonna be nld from different strokes. I'm gonna grow to little throw out and everything. We got bold with Kevin about when we come back, it's the breakfast Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Ye, Charlobe, the guy will be out of Breakfast Club. Was still kicking it with Kevin hart sph company.

We have an audible next year we start rolling out projects. How are you feeling about that venture? And do you think people understand what it is? Where? I think they will. And you know, I think when you when you say it, make sure you make people understand the initiative and reason behind it, right, Like I think when people now say your name, they speak of it in one tone. But once again, when you really know the person, it's like,

you know, he's got a different drive and initiative. When you look at the books and you read the books, well, what is his real what's his real one? And you're a part of the problem or are you trying to be a part of the solution. The problem is the significant gap in our economy from black to white. Right. The solution is being a part of the attempt to close said gap, bring people closer, bring things to them.

This entity that we created, well, we saw a gap in the space of audio literature, and in this space, our culture hasn't been embracing the world of knowledge that's available here. So in this entity, well, how can we deliver it in the way that can be creative enough where our culture can come over and grab onto things that they didn't know existed. Or we're going to create IP through audio. We can create experiences, we can create

content and have it available. We can also bring in talent to take a hold of previous content that may or may not even be known about. So in this space, I think that our opportunity of successes is extremely high. And you know, for the projects that we've already signed on to do, the original IPS that we're creating, the things that have existed that we're going to amplify by attaching talent. I just think that the world of great

is real. And you know, I got to also give Audible credit for knowing where there is a void and for saying we trusting you guys to create this entity and rather than us trying to just control, let's partner, you know. So for a company of that magnitude to say what We're going to give you, guys the money, Now run a machine ate the company that you said you could do. We're trusting in you to do that, and as your partner, how can we assist you. This

is the world of solution. So when we're talking about the need for diversity inclusion, when we're talking about making sure that the black voices and that the black portfolio within business is given a shot, when you got companies like that that are on the proper side of the conversation by saying we understand and we want to help, that's a dope thing, you know, dude. I'm proud of you. I love the direction that you're going in, and as a partner, I'm bringing value to his idea. He had

a dope idea. All right, I'm on your train, brother, How can I help amplify? I got this whole machine over here. And to his credit, he has a world of people that these he now is on the seat like Charlote, got a team. Man. It made me smile to get on conference calls and hear people speaking on his behalf. On his behalf with the vision that he has to help execute. So I think the world is going to definitely be shot, and I think the world of audio originals and IP is growing SBH show up

black and handsome productions. I have two more questions. Shut up. I mean, it's just it's the name. It's your problem problem. You gotta get rid of the same man. Bade rains is what we call it. Two more questions. At this point in your career, who do you get the most game from? I tell you who people don't give enough credit to. Tyler Perry's a machine. Yes, the business mind, the ability to really change the narrative in business and

how deals are done and how they're made. The world of you can't do that doesn't exist for a man. It finds ways too. I love to just watch the way moves. Do you know a couple of years ago, real quick, you know, a couple of years ago, Tyler said to me, nobody ever taps him up for information. It's only been two people, he said, you and uh, Tiffany, I think, said Tiffany. Tyler Perry is one of the smartest mothers on the planet. And he's not smart from

a rocket scientist, brilliant. I have all the answers perspective. He's smart from the side of why can't we do that? Tyler Perry is an enterprise, and I don't think people really give enough credible credit is due in Atlanta. You know you got stages now that are owned by a black man. Right. The crazy part is who do you think partners with this black man to do projects? Now? The studios have to partner with Tyler Perry because they

need to access his world of production Atlanta. The tax breaks are insane to have the mindset to say I'm gonna build here because people come here because of the tax breaks. So no matter what, they have to do business with me, whether you want to or not. Marvel was using Tyler Perry stages. Do you understand that I applaud him. I love him to death. Hove I'm different in the world of VC because I've watched how Hove has moved. That has no problem with sitting down, talking

to me and sharing information. But more importantly, hold Jay Brown, the world of partnership when it comes to investing is not just about your money. It's about understanding how to make businesses grow. He graphs the concept shout out the nas too Now this is another one that was into it for years and was quiet about it. These guys grasps the concept of I can bring value to a company, and me bringing value to a company. If a company grows and they exit, oh my god, I'm a part

of that win. So watching the way that my brothers move and I say brothers because that's what I mean. That's information. That's school. We're all in school. So my respect and admiration for the people that have given the blueprint and that don't hesitate to give the information. I

applaud it. Oprah has given the blueprint for years. I don't think people really understand what all Oprah has going on, Like Oper's got a network, a network like Oprah's got a full functioning network that has a full day of content each day of the week that's not small, like you gotta network that means I can watch a show produced by and developed by underneath the brand of whether

she's present, they're not there. This machine is controlling operated because of her vision and her want to create opportunities for you know, I know I said those are the black people and partners, But I got a shout out, Mike Rubin, when you talk about partners. Me and Mike Rubin. Right now, we're developing a fast food plant based restaurant Mike Rubin, where we're global, we're developing a real chain. And I talked to Ruben and Ruben said, keV, if you like it and you want to do it, I'm

gonna partner with you. Here's what we're gonna do. Here's how we're going to access it. And before I knew, if Rubin had me in the room with all of the partners that he has, so you know, I get I get flowers. A matter of fact, I will show him because I think it's dope, just what we're on. And once again, just to show how relationships work, the

audible side of it. Right when we get to the side of this thing living and this thing going well, accessing people in their ears, Hey, audible, maybe there's a world where you partner and you have how can we promote market like that's the world of relationships. Fincher VC, That's that's the space that I'm in. So remember I was talking about the star being briped me backing away, this is where my this is where my passion is. Now that's my last question. I know you want to

be a billionaire, has the illuminate Illuminati approach. You're about sacrificing anyone to make it happen all the time. Okay, yeah, according to the end of that, I've been in the Illuminati, by the way, I've never I still don't know what it is, like, what is it? Is it? A is the club? What is it? You're closer than me, I don't know it? Do you know exactly? But if you want to sacrifice somebody, you can sacrifice your part of this is so they say you're supposed to sacrifice. What's

they where they say have people eating babies? What was that? That was Pezza Gate? Right, Pizza Gate? Okay, I was in that too. I was eating baby. So what is that? Aluminating pizza get not the same thing. I don't think it might be the same elite circles Okay, yeah, but they eat babies, that's what they say. This clip right here is going probably they're gonna put this up to and say, see doing it right in our face with your hand and you got the hand that's the hand

sign right there? Is what is this? I don't know. I'm just saying I was about the restaurant is gonna be a baby based restaurant, so you're gonna eat babies. What Kevin Hard is always a pleasure, always inspirational, always motivational. Always man, you guys do it right. Look, I want to say true story. It comes on Netflix. All right, Well it's Kevin Hard, It's mogul Kevin Hard. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never

be the same. I've been saying it for weeks, charl I mean that you can find anything in everything on TikTok. I hear you. I saw this video with some random person with the Central Park and overheard a group of people talking smack about the girl named Marissa. So he posted it and this girl, Marissa, actually found out and reached out to TikTok. You have to see it. Let's don't be a dusty because right now you want some

real It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if we ever feel I need to be a donky man, did she get it? Becomes Donkey of the Day the practice Club bitches. Yes, Donkey to Day goes to the Friest. That clinic, Okay, to Friest. That clinic is a hospital in Austria. And listen, let's be clear, nobody likes going to the hospital. There's not a soul alive who wants to be in the hospital. If you're in the hospital for anything other than having a baby, that means something

is wrong. Okay, we would all rather remain healthy, not have to have surgeries, etc. But that's just not reality. The reality is we all have elements, we have medical conditions, just like this eighty two year old man in Austria did. Okay, see, there was an eighty two year old patient suffering from many illnesses, some of which have affected his legs, and

those medical conditions affected his legs. In fact, whatever was happening with one of his legs caused him to have to get one of his legs amputated, just like Big Mom in the movie Soul Food. Okay, that should be a pretty cut and dry procedure. Correct sidebar speaking of dry as in dry age meat. I've always wondered what do they do with body parts after they do these amputations. You can't just throw a limit in a trash, can

can't you? In my mind, they're selling this human flesh is food Somewhere somebody in the world right now, dining on from eighty two year old dry age human flesh. Okay, who needs to age beef when you can just eat an old human. If these body parts aren't being eaten, please tell me what's happening with them, because inquiring minds meaning me, would like to know. Now. As I told you, this eighty two year old suffered from a bunch of medical conditions, so doctors had to amputate his left leg.

But in life, you must learn to measure twice, so you only have to cut once, literally, especially if a surgery is involved. See, this guy had to get his left leg amputated. We all know where our left is correct, that's where Beyonce told us to go, and you know where the right is right, that's where conservatives are. So he needed his left leg amputated. But an error occurred see the hospital work and mistakenly put a preoperative mark

on the wrong leg. So doctors were supposed to amputate the left leg above the knee and ended up cutting off the right leg above the knee. The right leg was the wrong leg, Okay, all right. The right leg instead of the left leg, was amputated above the knee. This is not my bad situation. Oh my goodness. I came here to get my left leg removed because I had a medical condition and end up getting the right leg removed, only to still have to come back and

get the correct one amputated. Oh new friestat clinic. Okay, you know y'all getting sued. Y'all don't have a leg to stand on in this situation. They are wrong and have admitted such a a statement. A disastrous combination of circumstances led to the patient's right leg being amputated instead of his left. That is an emission of guilt. I mean, damn, I'm eighty two. I can do one leg for the rest of my life. I mean, damn, at that age, I got one foot in the grave anyway, But now

I have nothing. This is sad. Okay. I can't stand human era that ruins someone's else's life. Okay, It's really hard to just stand by and watch something like this happened. I just don't know what to do. All I know is we can't stand for this, and neither can that eighty two year old man or his family. The clinics medical director, Norbert First said, we have to find out how this failure, this mistake could happen. I would like to apologize publicly here well Norbert. Okay, from where I stand,

the clinic should be reviewing its stand dirts. Okay, poor guy, you don't know what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. What if he wanted to try stand up comedy? Huh? Now what when things like this happen? The hospital should be financially responsible to the family, but the next few generations okay, free medical bills covered for all the family.

donkey of the day. All right, we got more coming up next with a breakfast club. The Breakfast Club morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, the Queen, the icon, the legend, and we're celebrating her today. That's right. Flowers, ladies and gentlemen, Mary J. Block Flowers, by the way, we just balloons and your crown. Thank you. Yes, yes, So my Life documentary. What made

you say I wanted time to do it now? Well? I did it like two years ago. I was on the Royalty Tour and it was the twenty fifth anniversary of the My Life album and everybody was celebrating it, and I felt like, you know, it was time to do it then, because it was the twenty fifth and I never did it, and everybody was like you should do it, you know, and I said, this is the right time because I can gather up all the testimonies and gather up all the love and the energy and

shoot the documentary. We did it in like two years, so this is just it was just time. Telemann and I said earlier today that we cried watching it. Yeah. I cried. I cried like three times, like three times, and I was like I was I was watching it for you. I could tell it was emotional, and I was wondering, like, you know, reliving the making of the

album to stir up more happiness or trauma. I look at this as like the other side, Like we're on the other side of it now, So we're not crying just because we were visiting this and we're sad about it. We were visiting and we're sad because we had to see it, but we're also crying because we're happy that were on the other side. We got out on the other side. But you know, it was painful having to go back and see all that stuff, see Andre too. Yeah, you know, but it's but it's it's it's okay now

because I can. I can do that because I'm strong enough to do that. Now. Well, you happy Andre was there. I mean, I know you're happy, But isn't it a blessing that Andrea was dead to talk and to share his experiences and everything. Yeah, I was so happy that we got a chance to to get him, because nobody knew that he wasn't going to be here right, So that was Yeah, to see him in the documentary made me cry. And you said you didn't know that you

were you back then. And I think so many women, so many black women, go through that when they're younger, when you're when you look back and you're like, I didn't know how specialized was. Your fans knew, and they knew how much you touched them, and you help people get through so many difficult times, but you didn't know the power that you had, not at all, not even a little bit. That's why I ran myself through so

many things I went. I went through drugs and alcohol and just treating myself so bad because I didn't know I was worthy of anything. I didn't know I was this person that I can truly say I deserve everything now, you know, because I give so much in my life, and I worked so hard on myself, you know, not anybody else on me mentally, spiritually, physically. So I didn't know I had this power, and I didn't know. I didn't know. I just didn't know, you know what I mean.

And when you don't know who you are, you can't treat yourself well. You can't you know, good to anybody else, you know. So now I feel like I earned the right to say I'm good for something, I'm good to someone and I'm good for everything because I earned it and I'm still earning it because it's not over. I cried watching you um talk to your younger self and when you was watching the video, like, at what point

did you know you're you're inner child needed healing. It was a it was a years and years of finding out. I think twenty sixteen was my like, real, you know what, Mary, you have to really gather all of you up, the young you, to confuse you, the everything you just and just love all of you. I can't say it came in nineteen ninety four and nineteen ninety six on two.

It just it was a process of you gotta love you, baby, you older you, confuse you, great, you, clumsy you, whatever it is you are, alcoholic you, whatever it is, you have to love you. And the child was suffering thinking everything was her fault and that's the that's the one that was making me feel ashamed. So I had to, you know, as an adult with all his confidence, you know that I'm developing. That's the one that I embraced the most because she got hurt the most. When did

you realize that you needed to change? Like, what was the knock on the door, the thing that says, no, I need to figure this out. Now. What in twenty and sixteen got you to that point, Well, twenty sixteen was terrible. You know, we all we all saw it go down in the world. What happened When I got out of that terrible situation, I was like, I'm never gonna allow myself to hurt like that again, or anybody to hurt me like that again. I don't deserve that,

and I don't deserve to treat myself like that. So I think it was during a normal Drama album when I was like, I'm tired of feeling like this. It was an ongoing process of healing, getting getting better, getting stronger, But the actual day, I don't know the day, but um, the time was during the normal Drama album because when I said I'm tired, I'm tired of feeling like this, I'm tired of feeling like I hate myself. I'm tired

of feeling I want to kill myself. I'm tired. So it was a process of just still doing the same thing, but trying to be stronger, trying to be happy, trying to find some joy somewhere somehow, and were soldiers and we're strong and we're from the hood, and nothing embarrassed is us easy, So it's like what else you got?

But really test me even seeing Papa us are talking about how both of you were going through so much during that time, just a lot of heartache, and you guys wear kids like we forget that when we look back at it. You were so young when you put that album out, going through so many different things. So you guys are leaning on each other a lot during that time. What were those conversations like with Puff while you were doing the album? I mean about his pain,

you know, what he was going through. He never really got into detail with me about it, but I knew because I know, I know him and I knew him, and I knew what he was dealing with. What he was just, you know, like any man, didn't want to discuss it with his little sister. Me. On the other hand, I was, you know, dying in public, so everybody knew what I was dealing with. But I didn't want to really tell him what I was dealing with because I

didn't want him to kill somebody. So I just but he knew though, he knew, and so you know, he said, just put it in the records, just put just so. Man, when I've seen Casey do that interview where he I was like for the international interview, Yes, and then they asked you the question. I mean, I have to be the worst, like honestly like disgusting because as women look at it like that's Mary, like show some respect, damn Jay blithe But like you said, at that time, you

didn't even know exactly it was embarrassing. But look, I was treating myself, you know. I mean I can't. I'm not taking a whole blame, but I had to take responsibility for me. This is what was lightening the lol, you know, not pointing the finger. You did it. You did, a lot of people did it. But I gotta fix it, period. And you talk about forgiveness too on there. So what is the process of forgiveness like for you when it kind of sell all the things that you've been through.

Like you said, you can't take all the responsibility. You just got to release people. Just release them, and that's it. I can't be responsible for what you did, and I can't keep pointing my finger at you for what you did. All right, you did it. I don't never have to see you again. I don't never have to deal with you again, but I do have to deal with me every single day, and I'm not going to carry the

poison of unforgiveness in my heart. You don't even know that I'm feeling this, feeling like this all my life. So I don't want to be stuck and dying every day. You know, every time you get stuck in um unforgiveness and you just get stuck, it's like you dying every day. You're losing yourself again. It's like I want to grow, I want to I want more. So you do forgive everybody, but you just don't want to see it. You just dont want to be like, Yeah, forgiveness does not necessarily

mean reconciliation. I need to reconcile. All you just need to know is that I forgive you, and please don't come over here, because every day I have to remember that I forgive you, Like that's The's a process. We have to remember that we forgave a person because when you see him, you got to remember what made you forgive them. Yes, I'm not to forgive face. What allowed you to say that, all those people that hurt you

that you said, you know, what you hurt me. You might not even apologize, but I forgive you what what allowed you to do that? Because I'm not I can't. I'm not there yet. I don't have any time to race on you, you know, me being mad at you, like I just I don't care telling with success, that's right, Yeah, I just gotta I gotta keep pushing, I gotta keep moving, and if you don't, you're gonna, you know, you're just

gonna be stuck. And being stuck is the worst thing that can happen to you, Just stuck and you just so many people are just stuck in nineteen ninety four. I don't I don't want to be stuck in nineteen ninety I don't want to be stuck in twenty twenty. I want to be already in twenty twenty one thinking about the next thing. But I can't move if I'm still in nineteen ninety four, pissed at you, got you

all pissed yourself. That's why, that's why I love that seeing where you just talking to your younger self, because I was sitting there, like, how do you forgive your younger self? How do you give your younger self that grace? And you know, and you talk to her with so much care because it's you, it's your child. When I look at him, like, gosh, she hurts so much. She's been through hell. I love her. I gotta And I look at the little girl pictures she's been through hell.

I gotta. I gotta take care of her because she is me and if I don't take care of her, she can get me hurt. Right when we come back, we got more with Mary J. Blige. Let's get into a Mary Mini mixed man, Mary Saah, it's the breakfast Club. Good morning morning, everybody in Steve j Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking

with Mary J. Blige. And what the different was when you said you talked about all the things that you dealt with as a child, and they were all horrible and nasty. I wouldn't want that for anybody. But then when you said this more that I can't even talk about, I was like, what's the more, because I mean, you said some things that are so horrible, Like I'm like, you were dealing with a lot, and the fact that you were able to climb out of it. Is a blessing.

And who was there besides your sister to help you crawl out of those situations? It was just me, my mom and my sister, two women living in the hood, no male figure. I mean, it was hell just getting to the store, my mother going to work, leaving us with people she thinks she can trust. And that's life, you know what I mean. And my mother's a older

and we just watched her and mimicked her. You know, during that interview when you were watching your younger self, you said that you used to be mean, right, so I'm like, never smile and you didn't like the interviewer. You said, you must not have liked the interviewer that was doing it. I didn't, okay, So what would make

you like not like somebody? And was that a reputation because you yourself said you mean, was it a reputation you had because I haven't heard Mary with me, but you were going through a lot, and sometimes people don't understand that. And I feel like even today when you interview these celebrities, you don't people think it's a perfect life, but they also don't understand what goes on behind the scenes. And so was that something that hindered you in any way.

Was it a reputation. It absolutely hindered me. And I had a reputation for being a bit and being difficult and not making it to interviews one time, not making it to shows. And I was doing all of that. I was bad. My thing was I didn't trust anybody, and it took me a long time to trust. I still don't really trust people that much. But then I was just on guard, like straight out of the hood,

like please, just don't say nothing stupid. And it seemed like everyone that interviewed me was saying something stupid and asking the same stupid questions over and over again. But what I realized when I got older is that that's their job. And I realized that I have to learn how to respect people's job, even if they're being stupid. Did you ever rectify that, like go back and talk to people later? And I did. I remember I had to go to the record label and just apologize to

so many people. And when I apologize to all those people, they were like like they were holding their hearts, like like they was like, thank you so much. And I was like, oh my god, and I must have been a monster. And I don't. I don't even remember all the stuff I did, And they were coming up to me and telling me that I was cursing them out, and you know, I remember some of it, but some people I was like, I don't even remember your face. I was just going off. That's because I didn't trust

anybody and I was on guard. How difficult was it because you know, we were all in high school and we don't see how hard it took. We just knew Mary Jim Blas signed and all of a sudden, reminisces was cool and in real love out the window. How long did it take for you to get going? Was it a long drive or was it just first single

in the pop well? The first thing I did was with jeff Red m jeff Red was already signed, and I went I started singing background with him on some of his out on his records, and then I did the Apolo with him. If you look at the Apollo, that's me in the background singing with jeff Red. And that was my one of my moments. But I had to go back to slow mom after that, and after the Father MC video, I had to I still had

to go home. It was terrible. Star in the hood though, when you came home listen to my friends that hated me. I was, I was. I had to fight, My family had to fight. We had to It was rough, and I didn't realize what was Now did I go back and think about him like, wow, we was really in the hood still while the records was charting, Wow, that's crazy. I wondered what was going through your mind? Because you know, you performed Anita Baker for Andre, and then you got

the opportunity to perform with Anita Baker. What was going through your mind in that moment when you're performing with what was? What was? What was that Mary telling Little Mary? I was just so happy that that Anita Baker existed because if it wasn't for Anita Baker, I wouldn't be sitting here if it wasn't for that tape that I made accord up in the rapture Andre when it came to my house. So when I was singing with her on stage, and I was about to cry, like cryby

five minutes because that woman was my angel. But who knew that one of my favorite songs was want to get me the deal that I got? That's why you kept telling to take it away because you about to cry every time. And that's why she was like gonna cry because I was being mass Do you realize how big you are for the culture, what you did for the culture? Do you step back and be like damn like because Mary j B know who she is? And yet do you know who you are? Now? I do now.

It took me a while. It took me. Twenty sixteen was the day I woke up and said, all right, I'm it. I earned it, Like I went through hell to hell to hell to hell to hell to hell to hell in twenty sixteen was like enough of this hell man. So it took me a minute to learn how to receive. But I'm receiving it now since since you you know, not realize who you are in the impact you have on people, that don't make you more

intentional about about your words. Yes, and it makes me know that it's a responsibility and I have to take all this with humility. I can't just take it like how to take it with thank you and grace. Thank you so much. But you know, when it's goal time, I'm just I'm monstuited, you know, from performing, you know, to whatever I do, I give one hundred percent. I can't think about what someone's thinking about me or what

someone's not thinking about me. I gotta just go. Is there ever a time where Mary would do a versus? Because we talk about unbeatable artists right in my opinion, there was just a rumor about Tony Braxton and they had to clear that up. What you doneatable? I don't know what the verses would do for me. I like, I'm because I don't know what verses can do for Mary j Plies right now. But um, right now, it's

not something that's on the top of my list. It got to be extended one hundred songs versus But because you got too many songs, like, I don't even know, how could you narrow it down to twenty? Couldn't? I say it all the time, it's not even close. Now you dedicated to doctor mister Andre Horrell, who you called dad. At what point did he become that father figure in

your life? When um, I was in the music industry alone with no father figure, and he was there a lot, like he was there to talk me out of my foolishness. Why are you doing this? Why are you doing drugs? Why are you doing alcohol? Like like I would hide from him because I didn't want want him to see me, you know, in that condition, because I knew he had something to say, and he'd just be giving me that look like like a father, like I don't like this. Yeah, And I was hide and I was hiding all the

stuff I was doing from puff. He didn't really know. Could you ever love again? Like being love again with somebody? Would you ever have that trust for somebody again? Or no? Love is beautiful for the moment, you know, I would never reject love, but marriage is something that I would reject right now. I can also tell you know about watching the doc. You have been doing a lot of

healing work? Do you do? You must shaying what you've been doing, just some self help books, prayer, looking at myself real good, always checking myself, like if something is bothering me about someone, why is something about you bothering me? Just you know, I have friends and people that are into self you know, healing to that of teachers and stuff like that. So I take information that makes sense to me from anywhere where I can get it. You know, like if you have a good word, I take a

good word. You got a word, I'll take a word from you, because prayer just reveals to you you you know, and sometimes the worst thing to look at is you. But I'd rather see me acting ugly or see need needing whatever kind of help I need so I can know how to fix it. And that's really it. It's no, it's no like, oh, you know, I visited you know, all the shrinks in the world with nothing, nothing's wrong, nothing wrong with that at all, you know. But I

think the best shrink is us. Like we just need to be able to look at ourselves and and and say it's okay on you by going to therapy. Though no, like we don't. We don't badge each other with stuff like that. It's like when you're ready, I feel like that's a Capricorn thing too. Yeah, we don't get in a way. We're like, look like we love it all right, you're safe, call me what something going wrong now, you know, But we don't like you need to you need because

we don't want nobody you need to on us. We're not just mental like they don't move. We got with Mary J. Blige. When we come back, it's to breakfast club, Good morning, the breakfast clubs. We're still kicking with Mary

jade Ye. Now, what about your instincts. You talk a lot about how you have really great instincts where there are times that you feel like you should have followed your instincts and you didn't and you disregarded it every day, every day, damn every day from from nineteen ninety four to for a long time. Yeah, when I didn't when I don't listen to my gut on my instincts, disaster, I mean like big disasters, Like I've had some big

disasters that I didn't follow. Mine was the moment when you say, okay, God, I finally hear you twenty sixteen, Yeah, okay, okay. What got you into, you know, saying you know what, I'm gonna sit down and do a serious like you know, we've seen you in movies before and usually that might be a short stand and then you can go back on the road and you do what you do. But now like you have to stay in one space, you have to film, like you know, last night, you're film

into midnight. Like, what made you say I'm gonna do this time? Character? I mean, I'm a power fan, been a power fan, So that's why I'm on the show. Right now. Um, this character is so much fun and it's very cathartic, Like I get to just blow people away that I always want to blow away in my mind and then forget about it when I came home and I get curased. I get to do all types of just crazy stuff. You know. So the art is what makes you just say, you know, I'm gonna stay

up and I'm and I'm gonna do my job. Wait, when you're acting, your picture ain't blowing away somebody else in real life? Well whatever way, well method acting, you gotta do some dark places. So whatever you have to be a real place. If you got a real place, whether it belonged to you with somebody else, visit that

place and make the character real. I go back and visit horrible things that have happened in my life and wow, and I just do you have time for yourself though, because it seems like that character's gonna continue to go. That character's not going anywhere. It seems like it's getting spinoffs and all type of stuff. Do you have time for you know what? Married time? Yeah? I take that married time. You know, I'd be exhausted, but I get

the time I need. What did you learn about yourself after after completing my life documentary, man that I'm a really strong individual. Absolutely, yeah, and it's gracious. I mean that that documentary you forgetting. I don't want to forget, but you forget the influence when you start seeing the young girls and saying they look up to you and

they respect you. They've been through the things that you've been through, And how did that make you feel when you see because it was young girls that their mama had to be playing your music? And how did that make you feel beautiful? Because then I didn't know what anybody cared like. I didn't know Alicia keys Kid, I didn't know nobody getting you know what, I didn't know

nobody cared to see. I didn't know that then whoever was out what was you know was doing and trying to be like Mary J. Blige, I was like it didn't matter because I didn't matter. I just you understand

what I'm saying. It was just in your life and not understanding what you meant to other people because you were just trying to survive, like you said exactly, and make it through and do your job and work and not even considering like these people are coming up because sometimes people will be coming up to you and it didn't even look like you comprehended, like how exciting it was. Yeah, because I didn't know I deserved any of it. I didn't know I was supposed to be praised. I didn't

know I was supposed to be loved. So I didn't know anybody even cared. And you were demo yourself down, you said in your own relationship because you didn't want to shine too, right, That's how you know. It's something I just I didn't want, you know, just like in the hood, I just didn't want people messing with me. You know, you get too happy, or you get too brave or too bragged, doocious you gotta fight somebody or you gotta you know, this guy might start getting insecure

because you think you beautiful. And so that s those are the things I had to lay down, like excuse my friend that I need to live, I need to breathe, I gotta take my time in my space for me. The hell with y'all. I suffered too much for y'all, So there's no more that. So even back in the day when when guys like Jay would say I did songs with Mary, Jay Blige money like he was saying that out of excitement. That didn't do nothing for you one moment. Yeah, yeah for a second, and then I'll

be back to you know what I mean. It was like, all right, that's dope, and then now what Yeah, the end of the documentary is a new song. I never heard that song off us. I'm assuming it's new. It's new. Yeah, it's it's new. With the documentary, are you gonna do a new album or is that the process? Have you started working already or I'm already in the process. I'm already there. Maddison Square Garden, I was talking about this right. First, I want to ask the room, and then I want

to ask you, Mary, Maddison Square Gardens sold out. You got one song to before? What song you want to hear married before? Form me um? Either either my life, the title track of my life? Just one, yeah, probably the title tract of my Life. That's a gospel record. That record is about God. Come on you, just one record, man, that's I can't say just one record, come on, come on you. I don't know. That's how hard. I have a lot of great memories. It's like a soundtrack to

my life. So there's some good memories, some bad ones too, to some I do I want to hear something that's like fun that was a great memory, pain for memory my life because it helps me cry when I need a good cry. Now, what would you perform? I do like be happy though, that'll always be like my song because I feel that, Yeah, one song got to perform, one song sold out. What's the song you performing? My life?

My life? Yeah, that's the one, man, that's I wonder even that about you And you say, um, you know, don't when you're feeling that, don't you have a fake it? It's like, is that why you were like so closed off maybe back in the day and interviews because you didn't want to show you're such a great shooter. You didn't want to show people what you was really going through. I don't want people to see me cry. I don't

want to see people to see me smile. I don't want people to see anything that could lead to them thinking I'm soft and anyway, because I just didn't trust people with my emotions and my feelings. I just didn't trust them with that part of me. Because as soon as you open up, they pull a rock from under you. You bust your head on the floor. So yeah, that's what that was about. My last question, because I can

tell you ready to go. How would this whole, more healed version of Mary j. Blige tell younger Mary how not to get in her way? Well, I always say if she could, if she can hear me, which I don't think she could. It's two different marries. The younger Mary is not going to listen to nobody, so all the healed Mary definitely can't tell her what to do. But if she would listen, I would just say, stop being afraid of you. That's you. That big thing you're

feeling that you're running from, that's you. All right, ladies and gentleman Mary, Mary Jane, congratulations are the documentary. We can't wait to hear more music. No, I love you in a real way like your Your music has been the soundtrack to my life in a real, real way, And even now as I'm older, I understand the music more so. A song like my life hits different, a song like be Happy when I'm you know, dealing with the depression or something that hits different. So just just

thank you for being you. Yeah, thanks. Not too many artists that you could say their music has withsted the test of times. Thank you, guys, I perceived my flowers right now. Thank you. Can we have the song? Can we play the song right now? Or what song the documentary? In the documentary, Na, that ain't that's kind of song. What's the one you want us to play you? I don't have it, but when I have it, I want to hear it. And it's coming, It's coming. It's Mary J. Blise.

It's the Breakfast Club Morning, the Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. I'm saying. I mean that you can find anything in everything. On TikTok, I hear you. I saw this video with some random person with a central park and overheard a group of people talking back about a girl named Marissa. So he posted it and this girl Marissa actually found out and reached out to him. TikTok. You have to see it. Everybody is d ch Envy, Angela Yee Sheloman, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

We got a special guest on the line, Berna, what's up brother? Long time I've seen my brother. Now, Berna, I would have to say, when we talked marijuana and cannabis, you were the first person. I know they had their own marijuana cannabis line. I don't know if it was legal or illegal back then. But you've been selling cookies for a long damn tun How long have you had the cookies man? You know, cookies probably been about like

twelve fifteen years. I've been in the gray market we call it the gray market the traditional market for about twenty years. So how did you get into selling marijuana when it wasn't legal? I mean, it's legal everywhere now, especially you know, medicinal, So how did you get into

selling it? How come you never got in trouble? Well, you know, I was blessed to being in bad Area, which is like one of the most liberal places in the world when it comes to bud But in nineteen ninety six they passed a law called Proposition to fifteen where you were allowed to buy, sell, and grow medically. And so there was a lot of loopholes in that law. And so I just growing up just kind of came up around that, you know what I mean. So I

wasn't dumb doing child stayed and I like that. I just stayed in my lane and just learned the game. And once it became wreck, I was fully gamed up to go. You know, I like that story because a lot of people will tell you, oh, don't get a job, and that means you're working for the man and just

being an entrepreneur. But you actually learned a lot of the ins and outs of the marijuana business from having a job working at a dispensary early on, And people don't understand the importance because then it really prepared you to be able to start your own thing, right Yeah, And that's what separates us from everyone else. Like as we roll out globally, not just nationwide. You know, we got cookies Israel, we got Puerto Rico coming, we got

we got so many things on deck. But we're providing an experience at like you going learn hands on, you know, to actually show the customer the bud be knowledgeable about it. Our experience comes with twenty years and our shorefronts. So it's not like we just can't for the money grab or just decide we want to just be let's be a week. You gotta let's just get it cracking, like

we actually put real time into it. You know, does it about to you to see you all these people are now jumping into the business that before I might have been condemning it. Nah, you know, at the end of the day, you gotta adapt. Would change. You gotta know that people are going to come rushing and want it changes a little bit. I just I just feel good at knowing that they're so far away from us

and they don't have to peer intentions. So it's going to show, you know what I mean, like culturally and just where they're hearts at with the bud. It's going to show that they're not really in it for the long run. So I feel good about it. Even some politicians that were so against it are now like trying to get in the business. That has to be so ironic.

It's funny. It's funny to me another thing that you're doing because obviously for our twenty gotta have Burner on the show, and you do have an event happening, a pay per view comedy show, So can you talk about that? Yeah, you know, during during just everyone's doing these concerts like wrapping on screen, Like I could never get myself to do it. I live. I feed off the energy in the crowd, So I was like, what could I do that we can bring into people's homes. But then stay

it's true to what I like to do. I'm like, comedy would be perfect. Everyone's doing live stream rap shows. It's cool, don't get me wrong, but I as an artist cannot do it. I get the buye from the crowd. So you know, at the end of the day, I thought comedy would be great. No one's really done it, and we got a great lineup for y'all, and it's gonna be perfect to compliment the high on four twenty. People are gonna laugh their ass off. Yeah, my boy, Siper Sounds is on it, who, by the way, doesn't

smoke but always looks high. If you look at I thought you smoked for sure. Yeah, Styper Sounds, Bob Sagging, you got Michael Blacks and Paul Rodriguez, um a little duvault, Jeff Ross. It's gonna be so break down the different streams of weed and what people would use weed for, whether it's a TI but in the hybrid. Break that down. Because you smoke in the mornings. You what are you

smoke in the morning? You know I smoke. So typically people say it's Stiva is more for like the mind, like a head high indicas more for like the body but just like anything else, the human body is different. So Angela might smoke an indicat that kind of makes your mind kind of race a little bit. You might smoke a sativa that that that super puts you down.

So it all depends on your body. This morning, I'm smoking something super strong and kind of wake them up because I was like, I gotta get on camera, I gotta get right. So you know, I find what I like in Bernie, but Budd does so much and it's so good for you, bro, Like, I gotta send both of you guys a new products, a mushroom UM CBD CBM blend, and I like that it's incredible. Look for

the morning, we got clarity. It opens up your minds like out of raw without your heart beating there feeling many and then we at the BedHead for night, which gives you the best rest. But the mushrooms is the next thing too. You're gonna see your boy ahead of the game with the mushroom is so good for your body, man, And so I gotta send both y'all some caps. They're legal, you won't get in trouble, but they're they're incredible for

the morning and the night. Now I wanted to also talk to you about I saw you discussing, and I really loved your response. Right, your store, one of your stores, they actually broke in and stole like a million dollars worth, and obviously people were protesting in the streets, and your response was, if you can just discuss that, because I know a lot of people who are store owners when they were protests and their stores were getting damaged and looted,

What did you have to say when that happened to you? Look, it sucks, obviously, but I understand why it happened. I respect why it happened. It's it's part of the world, right, Like the world is in such an angry state, and they've killed multiple people on camera and keep rubbing in our face and act like it's not a big deal. And so as a as a minority owner in any business, just being out here being racially profile when I'm out and about, I understand one hundred percent what was going on.

So I told my guards to stand down. No one needs to die with it's just money. I could bounce back real quick, but you cannot get that man's life back, Like that man's life was taken from him and it was televised, and the whole world washed it, and so we were a part of what the world's reaction was. We were in the way of the storm, and so you can't get more You can't get mad when it rains, right, And so my whole thing was like, dude, I understand

why it happened, and I wasn't mad at all. A bunch of people online talking to get Superman, like that's how could you not understand where people's hearts were at when that happened? That she was like, and it was it keeps happening. It's still happening. Look what happened in the thirteen year old boy in Chicago. So it's like at the end of the day, like, you know, I just I felt what the world was feeling, and I understood it, and and I just took it because it

is what it is, you know what I mean? Like, how could you how could you trip all some money when someone just lost their father. It just doesn't work like that. And now we're waiting for the outcome of Derek Chauvin's child, So that's gonna we'll see what happens after that. They're trying to prepare for that across the country too, But it's gonna be some If you kill somebody,

you're asking you to go to jail. It's it's on camera, like whether he had COVID or whether he was on drug, whatever it was that his knee was on his neck for how long it's on camera, you cannot say that that's justifiable. So I hope that they do the right thing in that. One more thing I wanted to ask, though, have you always had this entrepreneurship mindset? Because I saw you posting about the hotel and how your goal is to own a hotel one day, and then you have

this network. Obviously you have cookies, So can you tell us where that mindset came from for you? No, my parents always told me, don't work for nobody else, to search your own business, even if it doesn't work for you, just be your own boss. So that was in starting my heads a little kid. You know, my father had a Mexican restaurant. I've seen what he did growing up, and it was never enough for us, Like it's it's tough. You can only sell read or taco for so much.

So I was like, what can I do? And I just kind of follow my gut. I don't know what it was, but I've been working stup and twelve. I loted by my age, got my job and started stacking my bread and flipping my bread, and you know that's that's just the way I am. Maybe it's Siberia Barria, is you know? Independent Blueprint Central. So readily appreciate you for checking in. And yes, I'm gonna stop by cookies because I'll be in Detroit next week, so I'm amation man.

Come by a mile. We got you, says hit me up. We got you, and obviously hopefully cookies New York soon too. Whoo Hey, thank you, Bernard. We appreciate you for checking in. All right, shal morning.
