I got three kids myself, but I got one hundred percent cup of my nine month or baby and it's really really hard right now. Man. Um, we just we just had a real bad parson. We used to go. We flipped our truck four times. Wow, and ever since, like she's such a soldier man. She

And I know some people to get on the radium, like, don't be on very stuff begging and stuff and stuff like that. But you know, sometimes people just need real help. I'm not work right now, and I still need help. I worked at a place called Midwest Auto. Um, it's

You grew up past that point of your life at thirty two, bro root Evil, Okay, I don't like that, but rood Evil eighty seven, I got one question for you, brother. I know you know a lot of brothers in the courts. I'm saying, it's very difficult to get you know, full custody of a child, especially a baby. So we're a

background through as well. How did you go about doing that for all the brothers that's that's been fighting the turn Well, I don't know. I'm just in a better position. Me and my my wife. We made an agree, man, whatever. I'm just in a better it was a better situation for my daughter.

But you know what, you know what you know what you need to do, brother, since well you know, I'll talk to you outside because if you know how to build those vans a lot of times only takes is a little bit of funding. And you know, the biggest thing right now is those cargo vans that they're turning into those Mercedes May back vehicles. That's exactly what they are.

That's exactly what because its cargo wins that costs about thirty thousand, and it usually takes about sixty thousand dollars worth of work, and then they're charging two hundred fifty thousand. So that flip that your owner has is a lot of money. Well, you know we might be able to do something of the Let's talk my brother, because my daughter got cheerleading season coming up and I I'm serious, man, Hey,

People are gonna build for me on the love for the low love holding the right, Yes, sir, yes, sir, Thank you so much. Man, All right, man, we'll get it off your chest. The Breakfast Club, Good morning, the Breakfast Club. I think within the first day Will's company, Westbrook, they hit him up and you know, they were like, we want to, you know, talk with you and develop

this thing. And you know, I think a couple of weeks after that, he was sitting with Will and he was talking about, you know, where we want to take this story, and uh, you know, years down the line here we are totally different tone, totally different tones. Break that down, Break down if people haven't seen the show. The differences between what we've seen as a kid, Fresh

Prince of bel Air. Yeah, well, you know, bel Lair twenty twenty two version is a dramatic retelling of the Fresh Prince of bell Lair, the quintessential nineties sitcom, and uh, you know, it's all the characters that we know and love, but basically we get to dive deep into who they are and the actual stories that are going on in their lives, and uh, you know, it's a it's a modern day retelling of the Fresh Prince of bel Air basically, and um, and when you think of the story, you

know are our showrunner TJ. Brady He said it perfectly. He was like, we all know the story of the Joker, you know what I mean. But when we see juan Kie Phoenix do what he was doing, it was like, did you really think about it? You know what I mean? And so like we get to see the story, we get to see how Will ends up in bell Lair, and it's gonna be super exciting for like old fans and new fans and man, it's it's been crazy to love around the project. Did you were you afraid to

turn something that I guess what was so happy? So I would call it bright. I'll call fred Fritzi Belle bright. Would you were you afraid to turn something like that dark? Nah? I wasn't afraid of it, um, because when I had seen Morgan's trailer, I was like, oh, I get it, I get it, and I was like watch that, you know what I mean? And so I think it's I think it's important because it's a reflection of our world, you know what I mean? And I think, you know,

it's it's important to see that. How hands Olin was Will Smith during the taping and all life, I always say this, it was it was great that he wasn't because he really gave us. He really left the our retelling and our creation of these characters to our own volition, you know what I mean, And so that allowed us to create these, you know, characters that ourselves are in, you know what I mean. He didn't have his thumb on it, hella, you know what I mean, And so

I feel like that's what I appreciated about him. But you know, he definitely gave us a lot of tips. What about the other characters calledton and call them any of them coming on and said or did yeah, we we have to, we have to. We had a few talks with the original cast, so it was definitely a blessing to to get their blessing. Then to see that that torch passed, you know what I mean. I always wanted to, you know, if and I would love to

ask world this, but maybe he told you. I wonder what he had played that character differently now because you know, oh, he's older now, and he always said that back then he was he would pretending to be somebody he wasn't, right. I wonder what he played at approached that character different now. Definitely, Yeah, I feel you know, like when he when he was, you know, doing the fresh Friend's thing, he had no

acting shops. Yeah, you know what I mean, and so he was just kind of up there just trying to figure it out. And uh, I definitely think knowing what he knows now, it definitely would have been different, but it wouldn't have been as raw. So you got acting shops, so you weren't doing what willcams but he said will you used to be saying everybody. It was a little

different for me. It was a little different for me because I was a theater actor, so this is my first time being in front of a camera, in front of a forty person you know, camera crew. And uh and so that was definitely a learning curve for sure. How did this go to you? Just? You know, I just sent to him my audition, you know, with I had, I had a manager, had an agent that I got through a showcase, and uh, you know, they sent me the call. They were like, yo, there's this show called

bell Lair and for this character Will. And I was like, hold on bella Will. Now I saw the call and I was like, okay, okay, I could do this. I knew it was me. I just had to prove to everybody else. But I thought that they wanted like a big name, you know what I mean. I thought that they wanted somebody who was recognizable to everybody else. And so I was like, I don't know how I'm gonna get this role, but you know what I mean, I just had to surrender to the whole process. And uh.

And so I sent him my call and uh and a couple of a couple of weeks down the line. What did you have to do on that first tape? Do you remember? Yeah, it was a couple It was a couple of scenes. No I have to wrap no, no, I just uh, I just uh it was it was a couple of scenes. It was actually a scene with Lebron and it Lebron was supposed to be in the first episode, but you know it was you know budget, you know, well he was supposed to be playing with

the people you're playing ball against. No, no, no, no, he was to be at the bell Lair party. Was like, Yo, that's Lebron, you know what I mean? So I did a see what Lebron was in it um and I mean as as soon as I read the scenes, when I first got the script, I was like, oh, this show has something to say. All right, we have more.

With Jabari Banks, he is Will Smith in the new series bell A will talk Tom some most to Breakfast Club, Go Morning, the Breakfast Club Morning, Everybody at Day we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Jabari Banks used the actor that plays Will Smith in the new bell Air series that with Bell are they recreating

episodes that were done? Because there's so many iconic episodes like you know, the far the episode, the pool Hall episode, the drugs episode, Like are they recreating or they're doing new episodes. They're doing new episodes, but they're recreating moments. I would say, you know, moments that are recognizable. They're gonna be like, oh, okay. So if you've seen the pilot episode, there's a moment where Will is on the plane and there's a glass full of OJ, you know,

Champaign glass full of OJ. And that's just a you know, a call back to the original song, you know. And there's this moments, a little small moments like that that are that are gonna get the audience hype. I mean the og fans. Did you have to learn how to rap? But did you know how to wrap? Did you have that part? Now? I was a rapper, but I was actor rapping, So you rap? What was your rap name? Uh? Been big back? Now now I've been through many rap names.

I used to call myself into the Philosopher. Actually Jabari Banks in my rap name, say that fast, we want to hit slow that down. Indeed the philosopher indeed a philosopher. And I was in middle school. What was your name? Uh, Dizzey van Winkle like Dick Van Dyke, No, like Dizzy like ripped van Winkle, Uh mixed with a dizzy Dizzy devil. Remember Disney devil. It was Tasmanian devil with it. I think he had a son of Dizzy van Winkle, Dizney

van Winkle. It was wild, like you know, Rip van Winkle was sleep for mad long and so I always felt like, you know, I was sleep for mad long and then I woke up like mentally confused. So I was dizzy. Okay, got you because there was looking on you. No, I got yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. I was like, Okay, they're sleeping on you. So I was in middle school. It was in middle him. Now, you said that you learned so much from will in five months.

What are some of the things that Willy Lahma taught you Willy Lama, Right, yeah, nah Yo, it's it's been. It's been. It's been super enlightening for sure. Um. You know, I feel like one of the bigger lessons that I always that I've been taken with me. You know, I've been thinking about that a lot. It's like he says, you know, don't let the success get to your head, don't let the failures get to your heart, you know what I mean? And uh, And I've taken that with you.

I'm just like, man like, there's a lot of noise, a lot of noise. There's a lot of things that come into this business that aren't about the work, you know what I mean, And to just stay about the word, because that's that's how you elevate, you know what I mean, that's how you, that's how you you know what I mean, inspired, That's that's what we do. That's why we do what we do, you know, I mean, everything else around is kind of surrounding it, and it's like, okay, cool, that

comes with it, with the territory. It's interactly because you want accolades, but those same accolades can make you a prisoner to the opinions of other people. Yeah, and you don't really want that. Yeah, no, no, no, you're staying here. Yeah, so right, Yeah, I mean, accolades are just they're nice, you know what I mean, when they come around, But it's definitely all about the work for me, for me, you know what i mean, because that's where I found

my joy. Yet like like you know what I mean, I find joy being here, you know what i mean, just talking, but you know what i mean, when I'm doing about work, when I'm when I'm when I'm doing doing something that makes me happy. That's that's that's what that's what it's all about for me. But you know what i mean, the wars, it come with it, you know what I mean, come with it. So when you when you through it about taking this or burning out for this, did you ever get nervous that you'd be

always stuck as that character like you look at Jilia White. No, no, no, no, no, I'm never I'm too dynamic for that. I knew that about myself, Like I am an artist that that is transformative, you know what I mean. Like I think I think you'll see that through throughout the throughout the years. You know what I mean, I I can transform And I always knew that about myself, Like I was a totally different person a year ago, two years ago, you know what I mean. You look at that person like who

the hell is that? You know what I mean? And like and so I feel like down the line, um, I want to take on roles that are going to give people a different perspective about how a black person can be, you know what I mean. Like I'm super interested in being like in fantasy movies, you know what I mean, and and seeing fantasy science fiction and see science fiction and you're just like, like, show you ever seen a Lovecraft country? Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying.

And like it was it was a moment where it was like, oh, like we can be you know what I mean, we can exist in this type of And it was like this was a period piece but it was also fantasy, but it was also drama, and it was also you know, sci fi. And I also season I could not imagine seeing all these black people doing this science fictional stuff. That's what it seemed like we had. Yeah, you know, I think that came down the budget, you

know what I mean. The other day and she says, she says, she feels like HBO couldn't see black people in that space foot a long period of time. I'm interested in opening up that realm. I'm interested in opening up that story, you know what I mean. And I feel like I don't ever want to get stuck in just the box of he's fresh, praps, he's he's done this, you know what I mean. That's not me And I don't think I'll ever be that person. I mean, you know,

it's so interesting. That's such a great question Nvas because it's like that role is so iconic, right, not just the role, because we're talking about there's a lot of iconic roles, but the person who played the role became an icon with fitness self. So could you ever truly fill those shoes? I don't know if anybody would ever And that's you. I don't know if anybody would ever see you as the fresh print. Yeah, no, I'm not

interested in that. I'm not interested in like actually feeling like, you know what I mean, I'm telling the story that I'm telling for a new generation at the end of the day, and this is opening up opportunity for me, you know what I mean. And this is like giving me access for me to open up opportunity for the next person, you know what I mean. And so my story is my story, wild story is his story. Yeah,

we're not the same, you know what I mean. And like I'm telling this story of the fresh Press, but like you know, I'm telling the story of a sixteen year old young man from Philly, you know, gets sent to la But at the end of the day, like our stories aren't the same, and you know, nobody will ever be Wilson if he's one on one, one on one, and Jabari Banks is one on one. You know what I mean. So it's Jabari Banks, It's the Breakfast Club, motor thank you. It's topic time called eight hundred and

five eight five one oh five. Want to join it to the discussion with the Breakfast Club talk about it morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Charlemagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club now if he just joined us. We're talking about believing in somebody when they say they have mental health or mental health issues. And I do believe people do have mental issues, but I also feel like people use it as an excuse. I feel like it's in an easy excuse to use because it's something that can't

be checked. It can't it can't be verified. It's just something within yourself. And I feel like people, let me ask a simple question, who are we to say, Hey, this person's lying about what they're going through mentally, what they're going through emotionally. How the hell do we know? And I know that if somebody like Russ is walking away from millions of dollars, that's the thing. Like Russ isn't hurting anybody, nobody. The only person that's gonna suffer

in this situation. Is he's walking away. If he's walking away from millions of dollars for whatever reason, you already got to sold out European toll. That lets me know clearly there's something wrong. And I salute Russ that you know he's able to articulate what it is that he's going through mentally, because for so long, man, so many of us couldn't, like Yo, you be dealing with mental issues, you'd be dealing with emotional issues, and you couldn't say, Man,

I'm stuffering from mental health issues. You gotta make up some other excuse, like you said earlier, something about lying on your dog or something like that. There's some about the dog eating kids and what you say? What about you talking about? What did you say? It was something about the kids and something. I don't remember what it was. All I'm simply saying, but whatever it was, it stupid excuses like that we used to have to make up.

Oh I would say that that. You people are always say that their kids were sick, but it would be an excuse, or that's right, something like that. That's right. Well, let's go to the phone. Long Hello, who's this Hey, Alicia? Talk to us, Alicia, what's your thoughts? So I am a mental health town flayer down in South Florida. M Sorry, my kids are excited to hear you. Guys. What's up? Guys? Yes, I am a I'm a mental health counselor down in Florida, and I mean every single day I work in residential

treatment down here. And we have people that you know, our CEOs of companies are professional athletes, you know, are they at home moms or teachers. We have special education teacher in my center right now who had a mental health breakdown. And I cannot imagine this woman. She's in a psychotic break at this moment. She should be teaching second graders, you know, that's her job that she's on leave from. And I cannot even imagine this woman showing

up to work for five minutes without a catastrophe occurring. Wow. So people really need to understand mental health is not a joke. It's not an excuse. People can use it as an excuse, just like during the pandemic, people call it off because they said they had a fever or whatever, and you just let it hide because you'd rather them

not come around and bring their potential. You know, negative exposures to the workplace that they need to do something to focus on themselves or to get themselves in their best health space. So, you know, when these performers, especially these artists celebrities, a lot of them do have anxiety that's crippling. A lot of them do have, you know, identity issues that they struggle with just showing up and putting out this image that there's somebody that we all

expect them to be. And if they fall short of that, like Charlomagne said, we criticize them for that. We criticize them if they snapped, we criticize them if they have like a bad night. So when these people say they just need a day off or a night off, or they've got to cancel a core, I feel like we all have the people need to learn how to expect those boundaries that people are trying to put up. Man, that's real. Give why you hack away? Why you hang upon the lady? I was gonna tell her to give

out our information. See you part of the problem. You are part of the problem. You you with the fake bid I'm looking suspicious over that. Don't look suspicious bits your problem. I'm hurt by what every time you tell bad about me? What I'm hurt? Hurt by? What? Byre you talking bad about me? Anybody talking bad about you? Just said I talk bad about your bid anythink that about you? That's me, That ain't you. That's me, that's not you, it's not even yours. That's me. You didn't

pray it on. I wouldn't say nothing about it. Not if you left that in the camp at home, I would have nothing to say about five A five one oh five. And we're talking about mental health. You know, Little Pump made fun of Russ and said it was a bullcrap. And we're asking when people say that going through mental problems, do you believe them? You should? And by the way, who are you to even act like they lying? You don't know what's going on in that

person's head. It's a breakfast club. The morning, the breakfast club morning, everybody is DJ Envy Charlemagne. The day we are to breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, legend actress Kim Field. Welcome. Thank you so much. It so great to be here. I can't believe I'm just not getting here. Oh man, we happy to have you. Yeah, really, yes, how are you first and full? I'm great? How are you? I'm blessed black and Holly favor? Well all right and

alright and happy birthday. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. How does it feel to be a star on yet another hit show? Well, thank you? Talk about you know, being blessed and favored. Um, it feels wonderful. It's it's very surreal, quite honestly. And we knew that we had something really great. We didn't know what was gonna do what it did and continues to do and have the impact you know that it has on the culture and beyond. So it's exciting. It feels great. Of

course we're talking about season two. So how did you get involved with the up shows for people? I don't know. I was actually on a press tour for a movie that I executive producing started and called Adventures in Christmasing. And while I was in La on the press tour, they said, hey, can you come in and do a chemistry meeting with my Gapps and Wanda Sykes for a Netflix series. And I wasn't checking to do a comedy,

but I was like, that's a trio. You can't say no too, And so went in Mike and I had great chemistry, Wanda and I had great chemistry, and the Netflix crew was there and before I got home practically they were like, Yeah, we're gonna do an offer and you know, go from there. That we've seen recently that Martin did a reunion show. Yeah, would you guys be interested in doing a question reunion? You know, happy to

think about it. Um, we we have this this really great thread, the six of us and Yvette who created the show, this text threat and so um, you know, we just love how everyone loves Living Single and again talk about impact. You know that the show has made and continues to make, and we don't want to taint that by just kind of throwing a reboot together with the idea of a reunion show. Thank God, everybody's busy, so you know, there's no plans for one in the

immediate future. But you know, whenever I saw you tell people dot Com that you got to be cautious when you do these reboots. So that's whether it's Facts of Life or Living Single, and you have to be really careful. So what are your worries exactly? Well, because these characters are beloved, you know, Martin Fresh Prints, Living single, facts

of life, different structs. I mean, these characters, these these shows are so beloved and these characters really mean something to everyone, and so if you get a wrong, they're gonna be made as a fan is selfish in a way, right, because it's like we would only want that when nostalgia purposes. We got all of the reruns, we watch it now. It's a timely shows. Just enjoy the art. That's the reunion, I mean, know the show like all the time, Like

it's like watching like the Mona Lisa. Just go enjoy the art that was Catherine was up to what they're doing if you don't say and that's that's what I thought was dope about the Martin. Yeah, I think the reunions are kind of a nice happy medium, you know, a good hybrid for we're not really rebooting, but here you get to see us all together now. To be honest,

I just thought about I wouldn't. I would love a reason because I love hearing Eric Alexander talk, oh my gosh, she's the best, Yes, que Laty for yourself, Kim Cole's Yeah, I would like to see that now, everybody, just a conversation among right, Yeah, absolutely, Well you know when we had one of those anniversary specials that I think TV one did and we weren't able to get everybody, but we got quite a few of us, and so we were sitting around and chatting about the show and that

sort of thing. So we have had that type of a moment now with everybody all in. But you know close enough. Now, you did Housewives that was short lived. Yes, you didn't like it wasn't for you. No, no, it wasn't that at all. It was only supposed to be a one and done, you know it was. It was bread Farth with the Jets kind of moment. So you know, for me, I did what I set out to do. The mandate at that time in my career was I'm celebrating forty years in the industry. Wow. And so my

team I said, hey, let's go into uncharted waters. We're only going to do stuff that we've never done before. And so they kept asking me to do reality for years and I was like, no, the time's not right. It's just too much. So we said, okay, well let's just give that a try and see. But knowing that I still had other shows to do, other work to do as a director, as a producer, all kinds of things.

So it was just one of those Okay, yep, did that, and then from there being almost catapulted into Dancing with the Stars, which was not only a game changer but a real life changer for me because there was such a deep dive of surrender and pushing my limitations all the way to the point of no return, you know, And that was the introduction to me for life begins at the end of your comfort zone. Wow. And so from there, I haven't you know, looked back, since it's

always forward motion of what haven't I done? What can we still do? Because there's a lot to still be done. Well, you were dancing or was this something like that? I'd never done that before in my life, so you now

trained from the beginning. It wasn't difficult, but having that sense of doing something that you've never done before, but at the highest level, you know, was really exciting, very very demanding, incredibly demanding dancing about six or seven hours every day, and I'm very competitive, and so there was nothing that he could ask me to do. And I was like, if you teach it to me, I will

do my very best. And so now I have that skill set at that level, and it introduced other things to me, like now I want to compete professionally in tango. So I just started doing lessons. I make time. I make time for it. Yeah, and then COVID happened, so I had to obviously no more lessons, but you know, integrating that back into the schedule is something that I

really want to do. I would kim Field to describe her a journey in the entertainment industry very exciting, very surreal, you know, to be the little black girl from Harlem who is the one that's still going, you know, and like our brother LLL, always just doing it and doing it and doing it well, you know. And so it's very surreal that I'm not a stranger to people around the world, that people have known of me or me

since I was seven years old. You know. It's like Langston Hugh's Palm, Well a sudden, I'll tell your life for me and been no Crystal stairs. You know, There's there's been some low lows and some high highs and you know all the stuff in between. There's still a lot to look forward to. But I think at the end of the day, I think people don't see me coming, and so well from the standpoint that they know of me. You know, it's almost like almost every time people say

my name's like oh yeah, oh yeah, you know. And so after a while, in order for me not to you know, have that really messed me up. It became a thing of Okay, so now I have to flip the script and make it where I have the element of of surprise. It's a surprise attacks now you're just not gonna see me coming, but know that I'm here. So I think that's the way to describe it. It's like this push pull of I always felt very honored, but there's still a grind. I'm still grinding and hustling,

like like I'm new with this. I wonder if they don't see you coming, because you you know, you've had the blessing of having two characters that are just absolutely beloved, like you see you see you. When you see those two characters, you think that is it. And I think that's some of it. I think that's some of it, you know. I think that the characters that I've played and then being behind the camera for so many years and so it's it's just kind of those I really

like the expect the unexpected. I think that's my mantra going forward in my career. We got moree Kim Fields. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody. We are the Breakfast Club was still kicking with actress Kim Fields. How do you survive that? So media time because at one time, like you said, you were only seen when you wanted to be seen, right, But now it's like you know, you you go to the mall, or you go to the grocery store, somebody

sneaking the pictures, take a picture. I mean, you can just have a head wrapper or you right, you know, but how do you navigate through that? Well? I for me, you know, there's again people have seen me since I was seven, so there's really no like kind of hiding space, hiding place, and you know, so I'm comfortable, like if I don't have my makeup, Hey, it is what it is. Is what it is. Y'all have seen the space before

it new makeup, So there you go. But I feel like I've kind of navigated certain areas of social media, one from that standpoint of if you can't beat them, join them, and also doing it on my own terms. If I'm not up for posting or I feel like I've had just a sensory overload, take a little breather. But it's a it's a space that I actually enjoyed because, um, I get number one, I get to connect with certain people,

even you know, collaborations. I just did a collaboration with Jonathan McReynolds and he sang on on my soundtrack and now it's under consideration for an Emmy, so you know, and that was because I thank you. But I reached out on Instagram because we follow each other, and you know, dms can be great and horrible, so in that moment, it was great. But social media, you know, there's certain things like anytime somebody tries to throw me in that auntie zone, I am quick to respond, this is the

no auntie zone. Hashtag no aunties. No, I'm nobody NA like me to call it. They call me uncle Leggy really well good, yeah, I mean that's wonderful, but nahum, And I think it's you know some of them too, if it's different from you know, male female vine. So you mentioned your MS, Yes, how many fellas are in your MS being surprised about old or young. I'm sure got to be some young man in the DMS as

well as some older people. Actually a great question because I think with y'all generation don't realize is y'all are showing a different level of aging gracefully, like when we were growing up, forty and fifty used to seem like old that was that was great? Yes, yeah, well, I mean to answer that in my in my DMS, it's just, you know, I basically have it set to the people that I know, so I don't have any like surprise

like oh my god. No. And then in terms of like aging, like you said, such a different time, it's such a different everything, you know, and so I plan on adventuring and journeying and doing I mean, just I'm in such a new space I think too. And again the genesis of it dancing with the stars and then being regarded the way that I am as an executive producer. You know, people talk about having a seat at the table.

My journey quite honestly, as I felt like I had to actually build the table in the chairs, and then everybody was like, oh, let me come to this table, so I have a seat at the table. It's just different, how that table and that seat got created, and so that's actually very empowering and very exhilarating, liberating. Oh we yeah, so that's that's really where I'm really hovering and moving about and and so with that, yeah, as I'm leveling up age wise, it's one of those like, you know,

like the Princess said, age ain't nothing but a number. Right, I want to talk to you about the content of Black shows art, right. Do you think that it was some type of conspiracy to change the content because everybody talked about how you know, the content is you know, destructive now and influenced people the wrong way. Were growing

up you saw living thing what it was. Yeah, y'all had careers, you know, y'all weren't I guess, quote unquote ratchet even though if nothing wrong, being a little raget. But it's like, do you think there was a conspiracy to change the content of the shows? Ah, there's probably a conspiracy about every damn thing, yea, and especially anything positive to impact any people, let alone people of color. That said, I'm not aware of anything that was that

in your face about it. I think that as a content provider, you have to listen to what the audience is saying that they want to see, you know, and when they put on these great shows or positive shows or whatever and people aren't watching, they get snatched up. So it's almost like are we in our own way sometimes?

But you know, we don't have to watch everything just because it's black people, or just because it's music, or just because it's you know, there are certainly many different ways that people can enjoy content and stories, and so I think at the end of the day, it's it's really about what's good storytelling, what a really good character. I think that's what people want to see. And then

it becomes the timing of it. You know, there are some shows that you feel like, God, that was ahead of its time, and then some shows you like, Okay, we've seen enough of that type of show, can we please see something else. So I don't know that there's a conspiracy or that there was, but I feel like there are certain efforts that we, as the viewers, we actually contribute to true true you know Kim Cole's say that Fox use black shows like Living Single and Martin

to build a network, then kick them out the house. Yeah, I mean, you know, when you when you are growing a network and creating something from scratch. Yes, you do gravitate towards what do we know is going to sell right away? What do we know we'll have that loyal audience right away? And historically speaking, it's been black shows. But yes, there is that sense of Okay, we got

the numbers, we grew the audience. And then some times it's also if there's a changing of the guard, if there's a new network executive and they want to create a new vision, put it in a new direction, then you know, and it has nothing to do with being you know, shows of color, then you know you go that route. So I think that, yeah, that there there is definitely something to what Kim said in terms of,

you know, how they build the network. Yes, do I think that there could have been a touch more finessing in terms of how you transition into whatever the new direction is. But you know, people run their network how they want to run it. So so how important did they have a creator like a Regina Hicks who's worked on like Insecure, Girl Sister Sister. Is it important to have somebody who understands those legendary black sitcoms and what

it takes to create one. Yes, from the standpoint of her experience, not in my opinion, not because she's a woman or a woman of color, you know. But and here's why, because there are those of us Mike Apps want to diside me. We are people of color, and you know two of us are women. So we're already going to bring some of that to the tables. So the idea of what we need somebody who understands that voice, well,

not if we have that voice. Her resume and what she knows about running a writer's room or what she knows about how to have a you know, a successful show on a successful comedy. Those to me are the more important boxes to check if you're going to just you know, start checking boxes. But I do feel like there has to be that sense of diversity even when you are telling a specific type of story. Like people will say, oh, I'm looking for a black director, I

need a female director. Well, I check those boxes, but I don't approach it that way. I'm a director, and so my sensibilities are about how to tell a great story. Secondary, and what's kind of tertiary is yes I'm a female or yes I'm a person of color. But for me, it's you know, if you're a great director. You should be able to tell anybody's story. Now, I love that because you know, you have some companies. They got that title now with the President of Diversity and Inclusion, inclusion.

But there might be a black person that has no connection to the black community, experience black people whatsoever. Listen, I you know, in the wake of certain tragedies, in the wake of certain difficult moments in society, we had some what some would consider forward motion, forward movement, and exactly what you're saying. And for me, I'm not about

being a box checker. And when you are a box checker and then you don't have the skill set to back it up, it's like get in the door with the boxes that you check, but then what you're gonna do when you're in the door, you have to have the skill set. You got to bring the thunder. Otherwise you're just a box checker taking up air. So then

check the box that I'm an air taker upper. I think that's messing up the art because it feels like sometimes they'll put some black shows on black movies and whack, yeah, yes, yes, I do, yes, I do. I feel like it's messing up the art. The craft the culture. I mean just just I mean, come on, you know, the diversity on anything, it's what's up. I mean, it just makes it that much more interesting, that much more collaborative. That's that much more real in terms of what the reality is in

most people's environments. Yeah, I want you diverse in thought though I like disity, but I like diversity and thought, diversity and creativity. Like what you said, is the talent first, Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, and then hey, if you check a box or two, cool, But at the end of the day, that's more of a I think of a corporate mindset because they want to look good. That's right. We got more we Ken feels when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast

clubical boarding. J D. Charlemagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with actress Kim Fields. Now you talked about, you know, you wanted to do reality show, you wanted to be a director, you wanted to do this. Is there anything that's that you haven't done yet that you want to do? Yeah, your bucket list that you're like, this is what I want to do. Oh my gosh, well, I guess I don't approach it

like bucket List five. You know, I think I approach it more of just you know, here's let's let's go. So so for me, I'm definitely I want to do more drama. Who definitely want to do um sci fi because I love sci fi and fantasy. And you know, folks can't just be the only ones in you know, blue and green makeup and getting the check. I mean, come on, I put another color on me and I'll get a check. Tout his birthday today. What we're doing today? Baby birthday the only thing right, And I got work

out at six. But you know, I'm watching Miss Marvel on Disney Plus and there's a welcome to New Jerney just to see it. Yeah, she's the first Muslim superhero. She's on top of the sign, right, So I thought you was gonna say that you wanted to be up there and sitting next to her on it. That's a birthday anxiety to No. No, I'm gonna drive by. Well,

I'm sure season. I got a couple more questions because you know you said earlier, you said this is a things, So what do black creators need to do to get there? Just do manage your expectations on getting that just do you know. Usually my answer is, you know, be good, be better than you know. Set the bar, don't just get to the bar, and in fact raise the bar. Those are fantastic goals to have and more than likely attainable.

But at the end of the day, you can do all of that, and if your goal is is beyond what you can control, then you know you have to manage that expectation. Great example years ago, Blair and I were to Blair and Wood and I were talking about auditioning, and he said, you know, make the goal something other than booking the gig, because that's actually not in your control. You can go in there crush it and not book

it because of circumstances beyond your control. They've already cast, they're going with a different type of look, they're going with a different name, all kinds of things, and so what is the goal. But don't make the goal something pressurized like I gotta book this to pay my rent, I gotta book this to get the light bill paid, or my baby's needs us, whatever it is, because that pressure will then mess you up and you won't be

able to be at your best. But when you find that space where you are not in a pressurized moment. Then make the goal something that you can control. So that's what I think when I say manage your at spectations. My last question, you grew up in the entertainment industry. What was the best and worst advice you received. Thankfully, I've not had any bad advice, and if I had, I guess I just didn't listen. So but my best advice was from my mom and she, I mean, my goodness.

When I wrote my autobiography, I just felt like it should be called, you know, chips gems because my mother just dropped gem after gem in my life. But when I was growing up, like one of the early days of facts of life, and she said, you started a hundred percent and everything that you do and say every day that you're here either keeps you here or it can chip away, right, And I was like, okay, all right,

that's that's all right. And then the second piece of advice when I went to do the audition for the Miss butter or Sarah commercial, so Janet was there and that was the first time that I'd even seen her met her and you know, they had those jacks in Summer special, yes, and so I knew who she was, and I've gotten to that and that was my first audition, first time doing anything. We had just got in LA and I thought, oh my god, that's Danna Jackson. I don't belong here. I want to go home. I want

to go home. And I got terrified. I'm very insecure, and my mom took me into the bathroom and she said, listen, she's not doing anything to you. You were doing this to yourself. Don't let anything or anybody intimidate you of

your own doing. But don't don't do it. And there are times to this day guys, if I'm like feeling you know, some kind of way or in my feelings and feeling like, oh, I'm not sure whatever, and you know, my level of confidence or my security is not on full blast, I will go into the bathroom and tell myself, don't let anything or anyone intimidate you. And especially when you're doing that to yourself and they're not even doing anything to you, don't you allow your own mind to

do that. So those are the right having the syndrome, yeah, always feeling worthy, which is two things that you always deal with matter how old you are. That's right, absolutely, absolutely, And so that level of security, you know, really really helps seal seal the deal for me. Yeah. Well, check out the Upshore season two right now, and we appreciate you for joining the legendary man. Thank you. You're right listen, I'm so glad that I was able to finally get

here and finally meet you. Happy birthday, Thank you, Thank you. Have an amazing, amazing next chapter filled with so much adventure and wonder and success and being grounded. Happy birthday, Yes indeed, and go on and sit up there next to her. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. What it's trying to get with someone special. The best way to do

it is with Magnum large side condoms. That gold foil wrapper is a badge of honor and it means you're protected and you take care of things with comfort. Accept no substitute. So bring the pleasure with the gold standard Magnum large size condumns. You are. I'm gonna fatten all that shit around your eye. This man Doden Blowers. Many wait for Charlom judgment, the donkey of the day. They

chose you the breakfast Club. Bitches, who's donkey of the day to day Wow, donkey of today goes to the police in Putnella's County, Florida, and twenty seven year old Caitlin O'Donovan in twenty nine year old Sarah Franks of clear Water, Florida. All of y'all getting dunkey of today because clearly none of y'all have anything better to do. Now, what does your uncle Charlot always tell you about the

great state of Florida? What has your uncle Charla been telling you on this radio for the path eleven years about the great state of Florida. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all the Florida. And I must say, in recent years there is other places in America trying to take Florida's crown. Texas, I'm talking to you, okay, But Florida, y'all still have the crown,

all right, y'all still the kings of the thing. All right. Now, If I told you that someone was charged with the Sultan battery, what would you think, nvy a Sultan battery? What would you think? But the first thing that comes to your mind punching somebody? Yeah, right, that's the textbook definition, it's an act of physical violence. Assault refers to the act which causes the victim to receive imminent physical harm, okay, while battery refers to the actual act causing the physical harm.

Oh no, let me say that again. Assault refers to the act which causes the victim to apprehend imminent physical harm, while battery refers to the actual act causing the physical harm. So hitting, a punching somebody all right, forcibly causing them pain is a Sultan battery. I actually think that when somebody gets their ass kick, we've been doing ourselves a disservice by saying they simply got beat up, all right. When somebody gets done dirty, we should say, man, you

got batted, all right. Badded sound is way worse than beat up. Even if you threaten somebody, keep it up. I'm a batter your ass, all right. Don't make me battery your punk ass, all right. That's why words matter in the context of words matter, because it sounds so cute when you think of batter in the context of pancakes, waffles, red velvet cake, and it is all those things. But when you say y'all batter or breaks off, you boy, it changes things, all right? Could that work in the

context of prize fighting? Like if I say, Jake Paul batted, you know, Nate Robinson or Jake Paul badded Tyrone Woodley. No disrespect to those brothers at all, But I'm just trying to show y'all what battery looks like. We've all been on World Stoffer years. We've seen what you know battery is. We know what it looks like when someone gets dragged. You know who else knows what battery looks like more than anybody? The police, all right. The police

arrest folks for assulting battery all the time. Hey, sometimes someone gets batted, and depending on the situation, police don't even arrest them, might detain them until they cool off, but they don't take them to jail because it's bigger fish to fry, bigger issue out here in folks having a kerfuffle here and there, but not in Florida. Nope, in Florida, one person's kerfuffle, one persons skirmish is another person's battery. Now, I know there's a lot of law

enforcement that listens to the breakfast club. Salute all the police officers out there that listen I need y'all to tell me if I'm tripping. Okay, when you see me in the streets, if you want to call love, tell me if I'm tripping. For giving the Pennellas County, Florida police the biggest he had for arresting these two women, because when I heard this story, I just shook my head and said to myself, life as we know it is really a dramedy. Let's go to w FLA for

the report. Police. A few women here smiling in their mug shots but facing felony charges. Up the police that they threw glitter at a man during an argument in Pennellas County, Florida. And no, glitter isn't some slang for something you've never heard of. We're talking about the shiny stuff glitter here in the story. This is twenty seven year old Caitlin O'Donovan and twenty nine year old Sarah Franks, both women, according to Clearwater police, throwing a container of

glitter at the victim during an argument. The arrest affidavit statement that the man was hit in the head and in the torso. Now officers said that Franks then climbed over a balcony fence, went into the man's apartment and threw more containers of glitter at him. Franks and O'Donovan are both arrested and charge with delany burglary with assault

or battery. Yeah, and the arrest Affadavid also said the vehicle was still warm when the police, you know, found the car, and glitter was inside of it when police found it as well. I wanted today buy all this glitter somewhere in Florida recently or was it just a lot of leftover glitter from Christmas? We're talking glitter man, Glitter like the two thousand and one Mariah Carrey movie. Okay, glitter like Little Kim's iconic purple tasty jumpsuit from the

ninety nine MS. Now, I'm not making no excuses Franks and O'Donovan. That's why they're sharing in this donkey as well. They went to that manhouse, they kicked the window until it broke. Okay, they broke into that man's apartment, started arguing with him and through containers a glitter. That's breaking an entering disorderly conduct. Got the most all right, but charging them for battery, taking them to jail and filling out paperwork because these two young ladies did some glitter bombing.

Maybe they lesbians and it was an act of protest. Don't the LGBT community use glitter as an act of protest. Maybe the guy was dating one of the women and she found out he was batting for the other team. Who knows, so she decided to batter him with glitter. There is something gold dusty here, don't you think. By the way, if this is the route we're going in America, Dustin Rose, they are about to bring up bring up a bunch of retroactive charges against you and the WWE

for all that glitter. You know what I'm doing people's faces? Okay, if you ask me, these women should be arrested for breaking in that man's house, but charged with a salt and battery for thrown glitter bo humbug. Okay. I understand some legal offices argue glitter bombing is a Sultan battery because it's possible for glitter that into the eyes or nose and caused damage that leads the infection depending on the size of the glitter. But do you really have

a case about glitter going in your nose? If you already snort cocaine that has nothing to do with nothing, But the moral of the story is Pernella's Police. Y'all don't have anything better to do. Please give the Pernella's County Police Department and the two young ladies Caitlyn O'Donovan and Sarah Franks the sweet sounds of the Hamletones. Oh no you are dogee, Oh the day, the dogee, Oh the day. Yeah. I was about to play something too, but I'm not doing that in me. No, no, no, no,

we don't have to play a game. These are the two people, right, Sarah Franks, Caitlyn O'Donovan O'Donovan. Come on, come on, that'd be funny, though the fight with somebody just stop glittering their face, that would not be funny. I'm telling you that's something bigger here. I really think that, you know, one of them was dating the dude to the dude started messing around another guy. But that's just me and how my brain works, because that's very specific.

To go to somebody house with glitter that means something. I'm blaking. I'm bringing glitter Hill on Monday. Just know that what I ain't gold dust get that time. Gold does get somebody moth to my resuscitation and put their tongue in the myth, put his tongue in goodness. Okay, So if you're gonna go there and go there, Nope, I'm not going in anything. Thank you for that. Donkey to day. It's the Breakfast Club. Go morning, the Breakfast Club. Ask Charlemagne and DJ n d An make it up,

pick it up up. It's time to ask an ass C and E. If you need relationship advice will help you out. Ye's not here? Hello? Who's this? Hey? What's going on? Man? Hey? Jeffrey Man? What's your what's your question for us? Man? So? I got three baby one of them just causing a lot of problems, making false accusations and the stuff. For like sa, I just kind of want to be how I could weed her out and still be able to play with my girlfriend without her like causing rumors and all that god of stuff.

So you got three baby mamas, but your baby mamas is messing up your new girlfriend. Basically the advice I wouldn't give you, sir. It's a guy named Doc Brown that you should seek out. Doc Brown has invented a time machine. It's in the form of a dolous. You should get into that DeLorean and go back in time and wear condoms, sir, that's what you should do. Well, I mean, there's really nothing you can do. I mean, you put yourself in that position. You have three baby mamas.

You got to deal with it for the rest of your life. The only thing I would do is trying to separate my baby moms from my girlfriend unless they're trying to get in touch with her on social media and things like that, and then I would go into my girlfriend's phone and block them myself so they have no way to speak to each other. And you should wear condoms now, so you don't have a fourth baby mama,

because your protection game is clearly trash, very trash. Yeah, I got well, she only do BLUs, but she's like calling from different numbers, sending videos and all that stuff like that. And I'm actually looking to propose to my kind of girlfriend now, but she's just calling them like a whole bunch of problems. So I wouldn't marry you. You got three kids from three different baby mamas. I wouldn't marry you if I was her. Well, I'm glad

you wouldn't marry me. You're married already, sir? Yeah, Hello, who's this day? Your name is juice? Yeah? All right? Sound like your baby in the back seat choking on some juice? Right now? Are you coughing so much? What's your questions? All right? What's your question? Mamma? My question is, for some reason, it's not hard for me to find the day, to find somebody to deal with, but I just cannot keep anyone because of them two little kids. Stop? How many kids you have back there? Mama? I haven't

To this show. You got three kids, that's what it is. I'm sure. I'm clearly your box is good because people have shot your club up a few times, you know what I'm saying. But they just don't want to be

They don't want that ready made family. Now, there's some guys out there who got two and three kids themselves, So y'all can come together and make your own little ghetto Brady bunch. But other than that, nah, well where are you looking? Mama? Are you in the club. See, if you're in the club, Yeah, your body might be looking. You might look good. And like he said, if you're in the club, these guys want to smash and they might not want to already made family. But if you

look at I don't call inde period. I don't club about three kids. Okay, So where you go? What are you looking for? These guys at? They find me at the grocery store, at the gas station, at the live areas. Find a man that has two or three kids like you do. Try Christian mingle, Yes, people don't. Christian Mingle are very forgiving. They're very forgiving, all right. That's all I can come up with. Don't do five A five five boy, Hey, mama, good morning, good morning, Hey ask

I mean I found messages on the phone on the app when he was in the shower. So I haven't confined him about it yet. But is it men contacting him or is it women contacted him? Healthy? Yes? Men, make sure it's not Disney Plus now because the LGBT LGBTQ plus Disney Plus is not the plus can confuse

you sometimes. And what are these messages? Say mama, Well like, oh we should meet up? And oh but I gotta be like I gotta like planet out because I have a girl he mentioned me. But let me ask your question. Let me ask your question. Sorry, why wouldn't you have all this? And you have a message that clearly states his intention? Why are you calling up him? Because she's still going back he's on a pawn site and there's

another man that's but she knows what to do. Yes, you need to go confront him, to confront him, showing the messages in confront him and ask him why he's talking to men on porn sites. Well, it's not port exactly or dating sites as to say, it's an LGBTQ plus app. He's asking to meet up with people. Confront him. You have more than enough evidence. Yeah, he's cheating on you.

He might need to go live his truth, or he might be you know, and to men and women at the same time. You don't. We don't know, but you need to find out, Mama. You need to find out. Yeah.

My name of Denisia, Good morning and v come on in, Charlomagne,

good morning, good morning. What's your question for c? And my question is primarily from Charlotmagne and Charlotmagne, I too, am from Charleston. Love your book. Can't wait for your new book to come out. Thank you? Eight four three. What's happening, hey, charlomne um. I primarily wanted to know I wrote a book myself. I'm twenty two, pretty young, so I'm not really familiar with how to publish. Is it better to self publish or is it better to

go through a publishing agency? Well, I have a publishing agency. I'm with Touchdown, Seaman and Shuston, But I don't see any problem with self publishing. Needs. I think self publishing is dope. I buy a lot of books from people who actually self published. I mean, you know you got Amazon right there. You can, you know, press up as many copies as you can afford to press up and put them up on Amazon. Why don't you send what happens? Don't you send a book a pad and let us

read it and shout you out? Oh? Really, I only have like the paper version, um paperback version of all paperback storry. Yeah, I primarily wrote it. It's done. I just don't know where to go from here. It took me about a year to write it pretty much. Was talking about is it on paper like loose leaf paper or is it in book form? I have it in book form on my iPhone. I mean you could try both. So you can try to shop it to a publisher if a publisher don't want, and then you put it

out yourself on Amazon. Send it up here, mama, we're reading, shout it out? Hello, who's that flying to people? Good morning? Good morning? What's your name? An anonymous? What you got her pies? Chlamydia? Stop it? What's your question? Mama? Everybody in my town listen to a radio basis, so I'm like all let me just keep it anount of it. But what's your question, you guys doing? My question is okay. So I have two children by two different men, and

twins project twins. My youngest father is a dead beat. However, my oldest his dad. You know, he saw a bed and he feels as though, you know, this is his son's sister. He stopped in and he plays that role in my child's life. Now, three years later, her father want to come into picture, and she has such a great connection and she's very attached to my son's father.

I don't know if I should let him in because he's full of disappointments and he's been in the same building with her before and didn't acknowledge her in public. So why should I let you in now? I don't think you have a choice. I don't. I don't think you have a choice. I think if he's the real daddy, that can he come see his daughter. He lives four

minutes away and she hasn't seen him in almost two years. Yeah, I would say it's never too late, man, But I mean, if he not really making a he's not making a real effort to being a child's life, and if he ain't got no money. Why I confuse the poor kids about the money with you? You know what I'm saying? Why I confuse the poor kids? Still? He might be want to change you Ala, we talk about people changing. Maybe this man was the change. She gotta fire the

fingure in her life. He's called He's called in like every month he calls and say, hey, I want to pick her up this weekend and the weekend coming. I don't hear from him at all. Oh yeah, now you got to box some mouth changing them. But don't even mess with him. I'm gabbling now it's worth Yeah. Why I confuse that poor How you know he broke because she just told us he is old? Oh yeah, don't no no need for that boom Yeah, keep that away,

Keep that away from your child. Don't be confusing your child. You don't want that negativeenity around your child. You know, when you pray to God to take negative vinity out of your life. He's not swinging a spirit. He's swinging at people things and broke baby daddies. That's the embodiment of that negativity. All right. Huh, she got up, She got her a nice father figure that got his life together him they have the best relation, and he loves

to he adores her, and we're not even together. So for a man to step in and do that for her, I mean, come up only than your other baby daddy can do for you at this point, and pay that ten granted child's body or you. Yeah, that's all he gotta do is pay that and we'll be okay. He don't even ever have to ask about her, seeing her, interact with her. Just pay up, that's all, my goodness. It's not all about the money, scholder man. That's your

first thing? Is he broke? It's not about the money. Bird. Well, that sounds like some sound advice to me. All right, Well, good luck, ass And if you couldn't get through the phone lines to see a lot of you tried, we'll do it again. Don't worry about it. You ain't miss nothing. You ain't miss nothing.
