It's kind of like women with the weaves and the
push up balls and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yescuse me. A lot of people use the takers and
they say the sneakers actually work, and you can't tell,
like they look natural, and they even got something else
where they put a heel in the sneaker to make
you look a little tall as well.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, they look natural till you take them off. Imagine
you meet the girl, your dreams you're talking about you.
I met this dude, he five he about five nine
until you take them sneakers off and then she's like

Speaker 9 (09:09):
I was just one nothing I could do, but my
family that I had in LA was holding it down.

times before you can even start like thinking about that.

Speaker 10 (09:27):
Do they give you a I.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
Really don't know. I really don't know.

Speaker 14 (09:31):
I got to ask about Bad Boys.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
You know, the Bad Boys franchise picked back up right
where y'all left off years ago, right, yeah, and it's
pretty amazing because as a kid, I grew up on it, right,
But now my kids are growing up on it. So
do you expect it to catch so big? And how
many are y'all going to do it? Cause it's not wack,
it's not like you know, usually you do a sequel
it's like, and then the one after that it's like,
but now it's not whack. It keeps going. So how

(09:54):
many more you're gonna do y'all shooting?

Speaker 9 (09:56):
I really don't know, you know, you know the business is,
you know, I hope to do more, you know, as
long as Will wants to do them, you know, well,
and the audience wants some. We're doing we like giving
you a good work and we have a lot of
fun with Bad Boys.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Why I was wondering about the tour, like, like you
got money, you're older now, why even go back on
the grind and doing a comedy.

Speaker 9 (10:22):
To because it's where I started? Is my baby it's
it's my bread winner. When I don't have nothing else
to do, I can't do movies or TV or whatever.
I can always go back to stand up and my
audience is always there for me.

Speaker 12 (10:37):
I saw a quote you said, the way fighter train,
that's how you train when you're getting ready for comedy.
How do you get ready for a tour like this
after ten years and getting back on the stage, Like,
is that a different level of training now or is
it still the same?

Speaker 9 (10:50):
You know, it's same. I go to comedy clubs, you know,
and I work out. I go to the comedy store
and workout during the week, and just keep working out,
working out til I built up our set and too
us ready to go on the road.

Speaker 12 (11:05):
How you pick and choose what goes into your sets,
because like I was watching one of your old sets
that you did at you mentioned like the Rodney King
beatings and like, but you made it funny in a
dark time. Nowadays people so touchy, Like, so do you
stay away from certain stuff cause you're like now it's
like the icon.

Speaker 9 (11:18):
Right now, I'm a little cautious about, you know, subjects
that I that I choose and everything. When I was younger,
I was fearless, you know, I just I would talk
about anything or anybody. But it's a different time.

Speaker 14 (11:35):
Do you remember that the times?

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Because I always hear these stories and it's to me,
it's like, damn, this this really happened when you used
to work telemarketing and you were there with salt and pepper.
I guess can't.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
Play with that, sais and robots, sas and.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Robot How was those experiences? And are you ever amazed
at all of y'all? What's successful in your own way
of going?

Speaker 5 (11:56):
Well, we'll see. I wasn't there with kidding play.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
I was.

Speaker 9 (12:00):
It was salt and pepper, and I was always clown
and you know, joking around at work and everything, not
on the phone doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

Speaker 14 (12:09):
What did you have to do?

Speaker 5 (12:09):
I was trying. I was trying to crack on salt.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
I was.

Speaker 9 (12:14):
I was trying to crack on salt. And Herbie Love
was working there too, and I was like, so, you know,
I'm trying to get what you and she was like,
mar I'm with Herbie.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
I said, Herbie is your your boyfriend?

Speaker 5 (12:27):
And I look at Herbie. I said, Herbie, this is
your girlfriend.

Speaker 9 (12:31):
You said yeah, I said, aw man, So then I
just had to leave that alone.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
So what were you selling on the phone? That's what
I never know, Like, what was sears selling? We're selling
maintenance agreement selling me? Do you remember your pitch back
then and what you had to do?

Speaker 5 (12:46):
Well?

Speaker 9 (12:47):
You know, hello, how are you? I was wondering you
just brought a new applying? How was it working for you?
You know in thirty days or sixty days, something could
happen to it? Would you like to extend your warranty
and all that?

Speaker 14 (13:04):
And the way they said no, did you curse him out?
Do you start cracking on him?

Speaker 5 (13:07):
Nah? Because a lot of them just hang up?

Speaker 12 (13:09):
Okay, one of shows to be like yo, you called
me like nobody? That's no, No, I remember.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
That, y'all was thinking too.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
My you you you're a very physical comedian, right, that's
like a lot a lot of what you're doing involve
your facial expression. Is how you move as you got older?
Do you believe that impacts your comedy?

Speaker 9 (13:27):
No? No, I still love being physical. I love I
love it. It's falling all over the floor. No no, no,
I'm not doing that, but uh I love still doing
some physical comedy.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yeah, and you said, you know, you don't say what
you used to say on stage. I remember an episode
of Death Comedy Jam I forgot who he was messing with.
I feel like it was at level. But maybe I'm
making this up, but you were saying you was talking
about a girl. He was with a girl, and you
were saying you remember that episode.

Speaker 9 (13:57):
Oh you're talking about like m like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
but that wasn't the true. Joke viral all the time,
all the time. Yeah that that wasn't true. That wasn't true.
I was just messing with her boyfriend and I was
just digging at them.

Speaker 5 (14:16):
So you know, I just said that.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
God damn. You know he had to approach you about that.

Speaker 9 (14:21):
He couldn't do nothing. He could woo my ask. Yeah, yeah,
it was tired at the time or something.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Why did you decide to hat him up like that?

Speaker 9 (14:31):
Because I love her and I was saying, get him
with a joke. That's the hell of a joke to
say in front of him.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Used to do the I used to do a rap
city with him, not rap city, but yeah, yeah, has
anybody like you mad about that joke? Nah?

Speaker 5 (14:48):
She she was real cool. She's real cool.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Did anybody ever coming to you after the show and
wanted to fight, because, like he said, you didn't hold
anything back, like you didn't care who was in that show.
You was going at him. Anybody said you, I'm gonna
be mor and outside.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
After nah, because I'm not that dude man, And I got.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Goomed back then, so it wasn't happening.

Speaker 9 (15:10):
It wasn't happening and then and I still got him.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
So if you want to go back to that, all right.
We got more with Martin when we come back, so
don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast
Club Morning. Everybody is d J n V. Jess hilarious,
charlamage the guy. We are the Breakfast Club, lawing the roaster,
feeling in for Jess. We're still kicking with Martin Lawrence.

(15:38):
Now in the news, we see that your daughter got
engaged to Eddie Murphy's son. That was in the congratulations.

Speaker 9 (15:44):
He's a great kid. I'm a great young man. I
don't think she could have found nobody better.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Now, we have this rule up here, if we're ever
out and about whoever has the most money has to pay.

Speaker 5 (15:56):
Well, Eddie already said I have to pay for it.

Speaker 9 (15:58):
He said he paid for the six weddings, you know,
because Eddie got a lot of kids. He said he
paid for the last six. So he said, no, this
is on you, he said. I said, I don't mind.

Speaker 10 (16:11):
So he's still holding you to that.

Speaker 5 (16:12):
Yeah, he's holding me to that. He's holding me.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
When they first told you that they was connected, what
did you call it and be like, hey man, you
know our children to dating.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
No, I just uh. When I talked to him, I said,
can you believe it?

Speaker 9 (16:23):
And he said it's beautiful as long as they respect
each other and love each other.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
World two of them?

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Nah nahna. I picture you and Will at the door
and they coming up and you having that conversation.

Speaker 9 (16:36):
You never had to have that conversation. No, with my daughters.
I'm open. I'm I'm you know, I'm kind of father
that gives him room. If the boyfriends they're bringing me
to meet are disrespectful, then they're going to see another
side of me. But if they're a nice young man
and whatever I don't, I.

Speaker 10 (16:55):
Don't do all probably already know by the time you
meet my dad and needs to be right.

Speaker 5 (16:59):
Yeah, I don't play around, and my reputation proceeds it.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
So people.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
In the comedy world, you know, I also wanted too.
But growing up, you know, watching you play, watching you
in Big Mama's house, I never thought anything of it.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
I just thought it was funny. But nowadays you hear
people say, oh.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
You know, that's you got to sell your soul in
Hollywood and that's humiliation rituals, and what do you think
of that book?

Speaker 9 (17:36):
Doing what I'm doing doing Big Mama and characters like
that and whatever. These are strong black women, you know.
And I'm a comedian, you know, and I'm not above
playing the character, putting on the dress or whatever, because
I'm in tune with my manhood, you know, So I
know who I am.

Speaker 5 (17:57):
So I don't worry about all that.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Is that a start, because we've seen it with you,
We've seen it with Eddie. But now it seems like everybody,
like he said, it's afraid to do that.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
But except for talent, except except for talent.

Speaker 9 (18:09):
Yeah, if you're in tune with your manhood, you shouldn't
be worrying about it, you know, if you ain't letting
nobody get under your dress.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Whatever.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
A point, what's never a point where you felt like
the industry boxed you in and they just wanted you
to be the funny guy and didn't give you, like
I guess, room to grow as an actor.

Speaker 9 (18:38):
Yeah, because I haven't been offered a lot of dramatic roles.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
You know.

Speaker 9 (18:43):
The closest I had to I got a dramatic role
was I had to do it myself was.

Speaker 5 (18:49):
The line between eleven eight. So that was the closest.

Speaker 9 (18:53):
And then I wind up recently, about two years ago,
I did a movie called mind Cage that was totally drama,
no comedy and everything else.

Speaker 5 (19:02):
So I did about two Now.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
They also talk about Blue Streak the sequel. Yes, you
guys are shooting that.

Speaker 5 (19:08):
We're working on them. You're working on right, we're writing.

Speaker 14 (19:10):
Leave off in Mexico or have you figured that out
as yet?

Speaker 5 (19:13):
No, we haven't figured it out yet.

Speaker 9 (19:15):
Yeah, but if they come get me from Mexico to
you know, because I had the diamond, so I'm living
high off the hog, you know, so we'll see what happens.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
You got to be a crazy soundtrack to like the
first one.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Oh yeah, how do you choose what to do a
sequel to? Because Blue Streak was good? But to me,
I'm like y'all rather see Life Part two? Like I
like another one.

Speaker 9 (19:35):
I like to see how'll they want? Everybody wants to
be Life Part two. But you got to remember me
Andhattie Word we were what ninety bout time.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
It could be a period, so it can be based
on when y'all first got out, When y'all first broke out,
What did Ray and Claude do?

Speaker 2 (19:51):
What was their life like when they first.

Speaker 5 (19:53):
Broke Well, we went to the baseball game.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
Yeah, remember that's all we's up right, you know, getting
introduced the biagres.

Speaker 10 (20:04):
They might not have made it through the experience.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
I want you to die with you right when y'all
broke out, right.

Speaker 9 (20:12):
Well, if somebody puts it together, man, hey, I told her.
I talked to Daddy about it, and Eddy said he Man,
if somebody could make it make sense, hey, well we'll
do it again.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Do you get I don't want to say frustrated, but
like having to convince people in Hollywood, like you, Martin Lawrence,
you know what I'm saying, Like having to sit down
and pitch things or.

Speaker 9 (20:32):
Like, yeah, that's frustrating. That's frustrating, but it's part of
the business, you know. And and it's hit hit a mess,
you know, but uh, I have a strong faith in
uh In God and uh he's my Asian.

Speaker 12 (20:47):
It's crazy to me that you still have to pitch things.
Just hearing that, it's like, Wow, what about a Martin reunion? Like,
I know you guys did the reunion, but like people
wanted to see like actual episodes like maybe You're not
Sex in the City. They got back to here the
dated episodes and then they the movie, like is there
anything on screen from you guys that we're going to
ever see from from the Martin cash?

Speaker 9 (21:06):
No, No, Tommy Ford was a big part of of
what we did, and him not being there, it's not
the same. We called uh lightning in a bottle that
that won't happen again.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Did you type cast yourself with Martin? Meaning like being
at the character name with Martin, and they saw how
you acted on the show, they expect you to.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Be like that in everyday life.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yes, yeah, yeah, because every time I've been around you,
it seem like you very reserved, laid back.

Speaker 9 (21:35):
Yeah, I'm nothing like the Martin exactly. You know, people
do ask me that you like Tomorrow on TV? Sometime
I tell them, hell yeah, I'll throw your ass out.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
But I think that's a lot like a lot of
times people see when they think something's wrong.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
But I'm like number one, he's older. Number two.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
How did we ever know that was I told us
that was him. Yeah, nah, that was my energy.

Speaker 9 (21:57):
That was me just projecting, just being big, just you know,
giving you a bigger version of Martin and you know,
just just having fun, just having fun. But I'm not
like that in real life. I'm I'm mature. That's my job.
You don't you don't want to be on all the time.
That gets annoying. People don't take you serious.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
And is that the reason you have to whip ass?

Speaker 9 (22:21):
Because people, oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
And what do y'all know what it is? Though? You
got a lot of different comedians on there.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
You got just hilarious of course, Adele Givings, be some
moon chie Go being DC, Young Flyer, Dion Cole just

want to be on the roll, because that's such an

Club morning everybody is dj NV just hilarious, charlamage the God.
We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us,
we're talking about men. What do you call frontals? Montles?

Speaker 7 (24:10):
Okay, when men get frontals, I call them montles.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (24:14):
Yeah, it just takes away. It just takes the femininity
out of frontal.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Oka.

Speaker 7 (24:18):
I got a money one, you know, then it sounds
better when you say I got a money a month.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
Male frontal could be a nudity scene too. I just
find that out the hard way when I googled it.
I google celebrities with male frontals, and it said forty
one forty one male celebrity male frontal scenes.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
It was all penises. Just want to throw that out there,
so be careful when you like, I don't wait to
even resource checks that computer, and they're seeing way worse
over the last fifteen years. You're right, So we're asking
eight hundred and five eighty five one five one. How
do you women feel about with men wearing hair pieces? Now,
this comes from Rocco. If you haven't seen Salute to Rocco,
h Rocco has a mug shot and in that bug shot,

(24:56):
the medal is missing.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
Rocco is a black man with a receiving headline who
decided to go all that. I'm riding with you, bro, Okay,
justice for Rocco. He needs to suit the police department. Okay, sorry,
I'm not punishment.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
That's not right. So how would you feel if your
man had a monto front two hairpiece glued on? You
know what I mean?

Speaker 8 (25:15):
I wouldn't like that.

Speaker 7 (25:16):
I wouldn't like I don't have a problem with men
doing that. I mean it's not fair to be like
you know, when women bolding, y'all go get fronts and
you know what I'm saying. But if you're a dude,
you can't do nothing about it. Nah, I don't think
that's fair. Now, you can go ahead and do that.
You just can't be my man. You come in the
house and you know we both in the mirror taking
it off. You know, Nah, we're not We can't do that.

(25:43):
We can't do that together.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Rock shouldn't have had to take his hair piece off
for a show.

Speaker 13 (25:47):
How do we know he took it off?

Speaker 2 (25:48):
He that is true.

Speaker 13 (25:50):
And then he don't look too bothered in the you know, he.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Did look bothered. Ain't nobody got that like that like this,
and it was like, no, tilt your heads. He was fighting,
damn and he kilt you the head and then we
had to see that. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
I personally think that they made him take the hair
piece off. They don't make women do that when they
wear wigs. When you went the airport. Goddamn, just just
showing us a pace that said that was a medical
condition because it looks like one.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Okay, no, it don't.

Speaker 7 (26:22):
Man, honestly, dude, Like I said, it just looked like
like his head.

Speaker 14 (26:25):
Is like deformed. That's what it is.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Man.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
That's not right, man, Justice Faracco, and I think it's
discussing that we live in the world where a man
has to even wear a hair piece. Okay, think about
how free George Jefferson used to be bald in the
top hair on the side.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Look at that.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Rocco looked cleaning and he looked twenty years the youngest. Okay,
HOLMEI the clown, bald in the top, hair on the side.
It used to be a time where men could proudly
rock that look. Not nowadays because the judgment of people.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Like Jesse liarrs I'm not already he home.

Speaker 7 (26:56):
It's no more justice he can get. You know what
I'm saying that.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
I should not be all over the internet.

Speaker 7 (27:01):
Man shouldn't have committed the crimes.

Speaker 13 (27:02):
If you would have never committed.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
A crime, he would have never known. Just by the way,
what was the grunk I don't know. If he was
in the poll, would have had on then you gotta
go to jail. But they God, they didn't do the
side picture too, because you did they do the front
and then the side. I know he did it because
that would have been released by now. And it's not
just It's not just Rocco. There's a Spanish artist, what's
name a Spanish artist? Justice for Remember he was performing

(27:27):
in the blue So yeah, justice for Rocco. Man. That
ain't right, man. Let's let's go to the phone lines.
We got Venus on the line. Venus, good morning, good morning.
Would you mind if your man had a hair piece?

Speaker 4 (27:37):
No, as long as it looks good and it didn't
look like a wig.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
You be fine with it?

Speaker 15 (27:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:42):
What Now what about if night at night when you
gotta take it off and you gotta put it on
the man that came next to your wig?

Speaker 4 (27:51):
That's crazy.

Speaker 5 (27:54):
About it.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
See you can see him. You call him from that
A four three. You know, damn well, you don't want
no man with no hair piece?

Speaker 15 (28:01):
Yeah, man, he can take it off.

Speaker 7 (28:03):
Now, Charlie, you can't take it off.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
But you're gonna have to take it off. You take
your wigs off? No, that's the no. No, no, no no,
that's the difference between ya. Hey, baby, but.

Speaker 6 (28:21):
You take your wing off when you go to fem.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
Make you take off. Rocco should have said he had
a soul wing man, because there's no deed for that
thing to come off anytime.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
But ladies, if you're dating a guy with a hair piece,
how do y'all go on vacation? Can you swim with it? Nah?

Speaker 13 (28:40):
Hell no?

Speaker 7 (28:41):
Well, it depends on the there's different types of blues.

Speaker 14 (28:43):
It's different levels. It is, no, it is different levels
of glue.

Speaker 7 (28:48):
You gotta get arrogantatu, do.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
You not your mont to?

Speaker 13 (28:51):
That's it?

Conditioned alopecia? You got cancer? See that's what I see.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Rock On should have said it was a medical condition
or something and this piece cannot come off.

That's what he should have said.

Speaker 7 (29:19):
And if he if he said that to me and
I was the guy, I was like.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Already no, I would say, I mean, damn, see, I

Why you can't play because I would. I don't want
to be like I got cancer, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Like I would have went, I say the ALOPECI yeah.

Speaker 7 (29:38):
Always lie about that.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
I don't know people care about alopecia like that. You
don't hit the hardest canceled, you know. But I wouldn't
want to play like that, saying when you put.

Speaker 7 (29:46):

Speaker 7 (30:30):

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, I missed out. Hey, don't dreak five eighty five,
one oh five one, call us up now. It's the
Breakfast Club the Morning, Yo, the Breakfast Club Morning everybody.
It's the j Envy just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy we
are the Breakfast Club. Lona Rosa is here. We got

(30:58):
a special guest in the building. Indeed I passed Jamaal Bryant.

Speaker 8 (31:01):
Welcome brother, thank you, sir.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Good to be with y'all. How are you feeling this morning,
Bill Gray, Let's talk about this the forty day fast
of Target. Yes, and this is something that you're trying
to put into play, and why I'm not trying you
are putting it in another way.

Speaker 5 (31:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (31:15):
So people are asking.

Speaker 15 (31:18):
Why did we pick Target when Walmart out of order,
McDonald's out, or the John DIA's out, or the Bank
of America's out of order, Amazon Amazon is out of order?

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Is we wanted to go?

Speaker 15 (31:30):
The African proverb says, if you want to eat an elephant,
do one piece at a time. So we picked Target
first for several reasons. Number One, Target is headquartered in
the same city George Floyd was killed. When George Floyd
was killed, Target came out made an announcement that they're
going to invest two billion dollars in the black business.

(31:51):
Two billion drum roll and it starts December of twenty
twenty five. When Trump made the announcement janu of twenty
twenty five, they dishonored that commitment. So we wanted to
hold them accountable because when they made the pleasure, they
had nothing to do with DII. Secondly, I am embarrassed
breakfast club to say to you, Negro, spend twelve million

(32:15):
dollars a day in Target, and I don't know any
black business that amasses that much money in any singular day.

Speaker 14 (32:23):
The twelve million a day a day.

Speaker 15 (32:26):
Number three Target is on twenty seven college campuses and
not one HBCU. Number four outside of the federal government,
Target is the largest employer of black people.

Speaker 8 (32:41):
There are four.

Speaker 15 (32:42):
Hundred thousand Black people on payroll and don't honor us.
So if we're given that kind of money, that much
human capital and to not honor us, I think is
dismally disrespected. And because they're publicly traded, we wanted to
see what will happen in those forty days. That shows
the data, this is the impact when black people walk away,

(33:04):
and to share it with those sharecrops, so it will
not just be forty days.

Speaker 8 (33:08):
But every movement has to have a benchmark, has got
to have a strategy, and.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
You got to have some data. What do you call
it not a boycott?

Speaker 5 (33:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (33:17):
I called it a fast because this was a call
to the Black church to become active. Something happened silently
that scholars and historians are going to have to pay
attention to the rise of Black Lives Matter. Charlemagne was
the very first movement of civil rights for black people

(33:38):
that was not berthed out of the church, the very
first civil rights movement that happened that didn't have a
religious leader at the front. And so the Black church
is going backwards. This is the largest demographic of Black
people since we've been in America who don't go to
church at all, who don't subscribe to organize religion, where

(33:58):
at twenty eight percent, the largest amount of Black people
who self identify as atheists.

Speaker 8 (34:06):
Who say they don't believe in God, don't believe in nothing.
So this was a call.

Speaker 15 (34:10):
Specifically for Black Christians to show the younger generation our
head is not in the sand. We're a part of it,
but we're aligning it with prayer that those forty days
is a high holy season for the Christian community. We're
praying because this is a spiritual warfare that we're under

(34:31):
with Jed Vance and Donald Trump, with all of the
things that are happening with petitions are important, but if
we don't bring a spiritual grounding to it, I think
that we're gonna miss it. During the Montgomery bus boycott
that lasts three hundred and eighty one days. What nobody
talks about is for three hundred and eighty one days, every.

Speaker 8 (34:53):
Night they went back to the church for prayer.

Speaker 15 (34:56):
So I think that in the movement, you've got to
have a faith entity into lined in it in order
for you to move forward.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
What do you say to some of the people that
have black products in Target? They say that, you know
because of this boycott. If a boycott happens and people
are stopping to go to Target, that is going to
affect their products even more.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
I know.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
We had the co founders of Rocket Roots on the
Breakfast Club and we found the lit Bar and they
were saying that if people don't come into the store,
which Target is their hugest manufacturer, the hugest buyer, So
what happens to those products?

Speaker 8 (35:26):
Number one, the lit Barn.

Speaker 15 (35:28):
All of those entities understand a new thing out called
drop Ship. You don't have to go in the physical
store to help them. Because of that. In Foresight, we
partner with the US Black Chamber of Commerce. So every
person that goes to targetfast dot org within an hour,
I send you a digital directory of three hundred thousand

(35:51):
black businesses across the country. So we don't want those
businesses to be adversely impacted. We want people to support them,
but do it online. I can support the lit bar
and not go into Target to do it. I can
go online to do it. And so I think that
as innovative and creative people, as black people are, let's
do it online. We do everything else online, So let's

(36:13):
support them and the one thousand black vendors who are
placed in Target, we're gonna prominently place on the website
so that you'll be able to find them quickly without
any post.

Speaker 10 (36:25):
Two things to what you're saying.

Speaker 12 (36:26):
So the first thing when they were up here they
talked about the inventory and just how much money they
have to put a head to be in the store
that comes out of their own pocket. Is that they
will lose out on if people do not if they're
not supporting these companies or whatever. So even if you're
buying it from their website, because they're already in contract
for this amount of inventory, allot it to Target, they
lose out it.

Speaker 10 (36:45):
They don't profit on that.

Speaker 15 (36:46):
Now, Yeah, well that money has already been spent. A
movement comes with inconvenience. It came that same argument happened
in the Montgomery bus Board guide, the question was asked,
what do we do for the bust mechanic who are
all black? So what they did is they pulled all
of those bust mechanics out of Montgomery and set up

(37:06):
garages at the churches. When nobody is talking about is
four mechanic shops came out of it. So I understand
that it's an inconvenience. I know we got to go
a different route, but I would then say that's up.
The ant is a business principle. Let's buy more to
cover what is that loss? Companies take losses all the time.
But a group of misguided preachers went into Target in

(37:30):
Detroit and said, let's just buy black inventory and come out.
You're still supporting Target, So I think that we've got
to come away, even if we got to raise the
price in order to make the balance.

Speaker 8 (37:42):
Let's do it.

Speaker 15 (37:43):
One of the things that black people do wrong whenever
it is with supporting black business. We always want a discount.
Let's pay full price and support them. Let's not just
do it with lip service, but let's do it through
the investment.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
We have boyd passing Jamaal Bryant. When we come back
don't move. It's to breast Club. Good morning, v Jesse,
Lary Charlamage the God we are the breakfast Club. Laura
LaRosa is here with us this morning and we're still
kicking it with Pastor Jamal Bryant.

Speaker 10 (38:10):
Lauren though women from Rocker Roots I own.

Speaker 12 (38:13):
Jamison and Ellen Seller's talked about how even in Walmart's
majority of their clients, heele that they make a large
amount of their money off of on those products. They
don't have the access to the dot com So being
able to walk into like it's just different in some
of the lower royal areas. So being able to walk
into a Walmart or a Target helps them as far
as inventory and creates access for those people.

Speaker 15 (38:33):
What about that, Yeah, I think that we've got to
ask ourselves what is the principle and is the principle
more important than the profit.

Speaker 8 (38:41):
You've got a whole lot of churches who have space
that is underutilized and under used.

Speaker 15 (38:48):
The fact that in twenty twenty five we don't have
a minority owned retail space to direct people on says
that we got to reevaluate how we do business. So
going into Target to buy whatever this product is to
say Hey, forget that they don't honor us, Forget that
they've disrespected the George Floyd family, forget that they are

(39:10):
only allowing black people on entry level positions. Let's do
it for lipstick. I think that we're losing the larger conversation.
I want to see the sisters win. I want to
see them do overwhelmingly well. But I think that we
got to get into a room and figure out how
do we make it more accessible for those in rural areas.
I don't think that the answer is to keep shooting

(39:32):
ourselves in the foot and then ask for a cast.

Speaker 14 (39:35):
Or when we ever get there, past it, Like, you know,
we want to get there, right.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Will we ever own our own Target slash Walmar, where
we ever own our own car manufacturer? Where we ever
own our own so we can rely on it. It
just seems like we're far stretched from that.

Speaker 8 (39:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (39:49):
So one of the things that we're asking for Target
to do, and for all of the demands that we're
asking of Target, please go to Target fast dot org.

Speaker 8 (39:58):
I'm asking Target to partner.

Speaker 15 (40:01):
With ten HBCUs to show our businesses how to scale
up and to go into the retail space. Repend Shopton
is one of my mentors. But in the history of
black people, we have never marched black people into a
white business to say, spend money here. So we gotta
figure out how it is that we really reroute and

(40:22):
redirect so that we can create an ecosystem for us
to be able to do I think that is possible,
but as a plan that has to.

Speaker 8 (40:29):
Be a foot in order to make it done.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
I saw you say that Target have been trying to
reach out to you. Yes, I don't want to talk
to no diversity.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
No, you may not have a job next week.

Speaker 15 (40:42):
You reached out during Black History mad I don't know
if you're gonna make it to Saint patrick'stwn. I need
somebody who got some job security and got some influence
to make a decision. I think this generation doesn't want
symbolic wins, they want substantive strides. And if you're just
doing that to say we met, we talked all the street,

(41:02):
credibility is gone. I need somebody who can make a decision.
And you got to ask and be what's in the
mind of a CEO that can lose twelve million dollars
a day and say I'm not meeting So.

Speaker 14 (41:15):
The person that reached out to you felt had no influence,
not enough influence.

Speaker 15 (41:20):
Yeah, so you're gonna send the black people out to
talk to the black black guy, go talk to the
black of them down Yeah, no, no, no, no no,
I need to talk to the CEO or I need
to talk to somebody who was on that board of
Target or who can really help me understand where you
are and if you all are being punked by j
d Vance and Trump, tell me that let's figure out

(41:40):
how we can walk alongside each other.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
That's what it is.

Speaker 8 (41:43):
Yeah, that's what it is.

Speaker 12 (41:45):
Yeah, when you so, I know that talking about meeting
eventually y'all want to have a conversation or there is
something schedule right, You guys will be meeting June twelfth
of Minneapolis.

Speaker 15 (41:55):
That's when their stockholders meeting is. Yeah, so we are
planning on going now. I'm hoping that we have resolved
by this, That's what I was getting. Yes, we can't
wait till June, but June twelfth and there. Now it's
an underground murmur that they don't even want to do
an in person shareholders me.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
They want to do it by zoone.

Speaker 10 (42:14):
They don't want you guys to show me yes.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
Yes.

Speaker 15 (42:16):
But that's why it's important for you to have the
data to show how this has been impacted, how much
money you've lost in the stock, and what is at stake.
So we wanted to take take all of that to
the shareholders meet to June twelfth.

Speaker 10 (42:30):
My last question for you, where are you at now?
Numbers wise?

Speaker 12 (42:32):

thousand people by when's this Wednesday the fifth? When it
starts and you.

Are say, I got one hundred and ten thousand people
got you have come and we did it before we
ever got to the breakfast club. So now y'all we
got to get to one fifty. We got to get
to one fifty because numbers is power. It was important
for me to have tangible evidence of how many people
are standing behind us.

Speaker 8 (42:57):
That it is not just a post I just like
some shagars, but one hundred thousand people.

Speaker 15 (43:03):
I can press a button's in the email to say
hey we outside in Target, Hey we in Cincinnati, so
that the people at Target know that we mean business.

Speaker 8 (43:12):

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Don't get an aggro to a baking more man by
the day. Kevin.

Speaker 3 (45:14):
Kevin is forty six years old, just like I am.
But I clearly make better choices than Kevin. You know
how sometimes people say, oh, you think you better than me.
The answer is yes, yes, I do, because I make
better choices. Not judging you for anything you got going on,
but you asked me a question, Oh, you think you
better than me?

Speaker 13 (45:31):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Hell, yes, because I understand the.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
Strongest principle of growth lies in human choice, and I
make better choices than you. And if you are currently
enjoying this thing called freedom, well you make better choices
than Kevin as well, because he's in jail, currently facing
charges for allegedly shooting a twenty eight year old co
worker on the side of I ninety five this past
Monday morning. I know some of y'all right now are

(45:54):
either at or on the way to jobs where you
think you can't stand your coworker. You believe you hate
this co worker with all your heart? Can you You
just might, okay, just be better than Kevin.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
And the way you continue to be better than Kevin
is simply by making the choice not to shoot your
co worker.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Let's go to WBALTV for the report.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Please bond denied for forty six year old Kevin Gross.
He's facing charges for allegedly shooting a twenty eight year
old co worker on the side of I ninety five
early Monday morning. According to charging documents, the victim called
nine to oneint one. When state police arrived, they found
him walking along the shoulder of ninety five with seven
gunshot wounds to the arm and torso. Court documents show

(46:37):
he told police he was on his way into work
and got a flat tire, so he pulled over on
the shoulder of ninety five, just north of the Howard
County line. When he got out to inspect the tire,
his coworker, Kevin Gross, pulled up behind him and got out,
wearing a mask covering his mouth.

Speaker 9 (46:52):
Quote.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Gross told him he must have hit a pothole or something,
but upon inspecting the tire, the victim could see the
tire had been slacked. Gross then produced a firearm and
began firing numerous shots. Charging documents reveal the two were
assistant managers that planted aid in Elkridge. Gross had recently
been demoted, and the victim told police Gross thought he

(47:13):
had something to do with that demotion.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
Kevin, you got the right last name, because this was gross.
What a diabolical plan. The victim was on his way
to work and got a flat tire. He thought he
hit a pothole, but his tire had been slashed. Oh,
I wondered who slashed him? And then when he got
out there inspect the tire. Kevin pulled up behind him
with the mask and shot him several times, all because
he thought his coworker got him demoted.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Both of them were assistant managers at Planet Aid.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
Now y'all know what Planet eight is, right, Yeah, they
had organizations that collect the clothing donations. They got the
yellow bins all over the place you can put the
clothes and shoes in.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Yeah, they accept clothing donations in seventeen hundred locations, okay,
and the Elkridge warehouse.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
You know where Elkridge is, right, yep.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
They collect fifteen point five million pounds of used clothes
and shoes annually. Well, clearly Kevin will and there for
the car. So I needed to know what are the
perks of being an assistant manager at planid Aid. So
I asked chat GPT how much does an assistant manager
at plane aid make? I don't know if this is
one hundred percent correct, but it says the average salary
for a manager at Planning Aid might earn between fifty

(48:14):
thousand and sixty thousand annually. Now I need y'all to
always keep in mind that my education is limited to
a high school degree from Night School. Okay, drop on
the clues, bump for Berkeley High School, right than montipotent
South Carolina. But if it's one thing I understand is
prison math. And by prison math, I mean when you
have to calculate in your mind whether or not the
choice you make is gonna be worth you going to prison. Okay, now,

(48:36):
let's do the prison.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
Math, all right.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
I'm making fifty sixty grand a year in Baltimore as
a forty six year old man.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
I don't know about y'all, but.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
If I can afford to put some food on my
table and have a roof over my head, I'm gonna
be happy.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
Success is subjective, and if you're a freeman forty six
years old, you can come and go as you please.
You got a job you maintaining.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
That's a good life.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
If you don't think it's a good life, go to
a prison right now and talk to these brothers doing fifty,
doing twenty, doing twenty five, some of them doing forever,
and asked them what they trade lives with the freeman
making fifty to sixty grand as an assistant manager at
Planet eight.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
Hell, even if he got demoted, okay, even if he
got demoted.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
The warehouse lead role at Planet Aid earns about twenty
seven thirty nine per hour. According to chat GPT, that's
almost fifty seven grand a year if you work in
forty hours a week. All I'm saying is, no matter
how much I calculate this prison math. Okay, I've done addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.
I tried to figure this out multiple ways, and guess what,

(49:34):
it just don't compute. Okay, it just doesn't that up.
The victim is in critical condition. He got seven times,
he got shot seven times. Kevin Gross's charged with attempted
first degree murder in Maryland. That's life in prison, first
and second degree assauld. Kevin Gross is also charged with
first degree A sold. It's twenty five years in Maryland.
Second degree is sold it's ten years in Maryland, and

(49:55):
he got other related charges. Moral of the story is
Kevin is spending the the rest of his natural born
life in prison. Therefore the prison math ain't adding up.
It's just not worth it. You have to calculate it
in your head. You got demoted. You don't even know
if this person you shot had anything to do with it.
But even if they did, as soon as you started
formulating this plan in your head. Just think about it.

(50:18):
I'm gonna cut his tires. I'm gonna shoot him a
bunch of times. At some point your brain has to
say no, no, no, no, no. This prison math ain't mathing.
This is not a situation that's worth having to eat
jail food for the rest of your life or having
an inmate treat your bunkie like a ball of cereal.
So please let remy ma give Kevin Gross the biggest

(50:39):
he hall.

Speaker 13 (50:40):
Hee ha he ha.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
You stupid motherfuck? Are you dumb? You got demoted? Take
the l How do you get demoted from?

Speaker 7 (50:48):
Like a salvation army?

Speaker 2 (50:50):
Please? A good will please? And what could you do wrong? Yeah?

Speaker 13 (50:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
But he didn't even ask no questions. He just assumed
it was this other person and shot him seven times.
Now he's gonna spend the rest of his life in
prison for that.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
Don't add up. They don't need to play and you also,
I mean we can if you want to. What you
want to play a game?

Speaker 7 (51:12):
You're from Baltimore, White people in Baltimore, yews in Baltimore. No,
but something that patty like that, like like you got
a point, got a point? Of clothing store. Then it's
not even like in a like a regular clothing store.

Speaker 5 (51:30):
Yeah, like nah.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
He always do prison math though, whenever you're.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
About to make a choice that you think we're gonna
get you in some type of trouble, especially if it's
involving any type of crime, just just calculated in your head.
Is this worth the time you're gonna get for such situation?

Speaker 2 (51:48):
All right, well, thank you for that. Donkey Today it's
the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

like it came from a text message via social media
posting and now just having my own book, Like it's
just it's amazing feeling.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
For sure, it makes sense for you to have a
devotional book for the affirmations because all you do is
send us devotionals and affirmations every day.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
You know, Yes, it makes sense.

Speaker 7 (52:54):
So it's literally on brand for your brand. Yeah, and
you know what I love about it because we're just
going to just jump straight into it because myself got
other pressed.

Speaker 4 (53:02):
Hello.

Speaker 7 (53:03):
So you know what I love about it is you
has said how to use this book. You said it
took you one hundred days to start thinking new and
doing new things. What are some of the things that
you felt like you had to work on in those
hundred days. What were the hardest things that you had
to overcome?

Speaker 13 (53:18):
Well, just not entertaining social media was one of it.

Speaker 7 (53:21):
I was fast.

Speaker 12 (53:22):
Yeah, I was like literally in my closet writing this,
Like I literally was just like I was giving snippets
on social media. I was like I watched TDJ, so
when I seen TDJ sermon. He's like, stand on what
you know. And for me, I'm a mind person, you
know me, I'll be all in my head overthinking things.
But it's it was more of like, Okay, let's separate
from what I know that I'm familiar with, doing the
skits on the table, entertaining, checking the social media, checking

(53:44):
the DMS, engagements to like, girl, you could just have
this book deal and you need to get to it.

Speaker 13 (53:48):
Like so I was really in my closet.

Speaker 12 (53:49):
I had to separate, just sacrifice the social media, take
that away for a little bit, and get locked in
in my closet and just start writing. And I was
just throwing little snippets on social media to see how
people was going to react, and it just became a book.

Speaker 13 (54:00):
And I just had to literally.

Speaker 12 (54:01):
Write right right each day, you know, shout out to Nikki,
shout out to Franky, like just for helping me, because
I still wanted to add like the comedic side, and
you know, wanted to shock you know, Charlemagne like yourself
quotes like what makes you guys to a trying to
put it all together, not just be your typical devotional
because everyone is not.

Speaker 13 (54:17):
Religious and everyone does understand, you know.

Speaker 12 (54:21):
Yeah, so I believe in Jesus Christ, So you know,
I didn't want to dumb that down neither I needed
to throw him in there.

Speaker 13 (54:26):
But it's for everyone.

Speaker 12 (54:27):
It's uni sex book, it's for the it's for the
women as well. And I just wanted to really like
tap into the other side and outside of being funny
for sure so much?

Speaker 7 (54:35):
Why this for your first book?

Speaker 12 (54:37):
Though?

Speaker 7 (54:37):
Because Divanna is a person that wears many hats. You
you are not just funny, you do so many other things.

Speaker 13 (54:43):
Why not he is? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (54:46):
The first book?

Speaker 7 (54:47):
Get a memoir?

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Like you said, why why book?

Speaker 11 (54:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (54:50):
And no, no, no, not not even I well not
even but like who you are?

Speaker 7 (54:56):
Who you are because a lot of people don't know
you are Divana XL. Who you say who you are
in the book. I ain't trying to spoil it, you do,
but you do say in the book, I'm gonna save
who I am for the next book? Yeah, okay? And
why is that not the first one?

Speaker 12 (55:08):
I just for me, I just feel like I just
have so much work to do, Like that's not even
there yet. Like I just need to like do so
so much more.

Speaker 13 (55:15):
I'm just not there yet.

Speaker 12 (55:16):
And I feel like, let's put something out whether people
could appreciate, you know, And I was like this devotion.
If someone told me I had an interview, they were like, okay,
well we just be like the funny bee, like this
is just the book is so serious.

Speaker 13 (55:26):
I was like, girl, you haven't even got the book,
but not even not.

Speaker 12 (55:28):
Yet, like you know, like I want to give you
guys a part of me. And if this is what
I have to do, I'm gonna be still. I remember
when I had uh we had COVID and I reached
out to Charlotte when.

Speaker 13 (55:39):
They I say, oh, Charlotte'm overthinking. We I ain't gotta
work that. Charlotte said to be still. I hated when
Charlotte told me that. I was like, be still.

Speaker 12 (55:45):
I hate the world still because I get to think,
I get to be in my head. But that's one
of the things that to answer your question at the beginning,
like I had to be still, and I hated it
because I was like, this has to be written, and
the only person that's gonna write it is me and
whoever else we hire to help me put it all together. So,
I mean, I just wanted to put a devotional out
because I'm like, it's just necessary, like you said, it's
on brand, and I just want people to hear my story.

(56:06):
Everything that I've been through, you know, delay has ever
denied or I talk, you know, I talk about Hollywood
in here and just don't change, you know, and just
keep going and you know, don't be afraid to walk alone.
The relationships I have friendships and people I've you know, dated,
like how you just don't have to walk alone in
your pain. You need God will send help people and angels.
I talked about it in the beginning when I was
so hungry in college. I had no money, I had

(56:28):
no food in Miss Danian shout out to you know,
sant Agustine University, Hello North Carolina.

Speaker 13 (56:33):
He helped me, gave me fifty dollars and laid on
his heart.

Speaker 12 (56:36):
God said, you didn't eat, and here's here's money. I
just talk about all the profeticness. Yeah, that's in here
that brought me to this day.

Speaker 13 (56:42):
So I just hope it. I know it's gonna help us.
All you feel me.

Speaker 12 (56:44):
The mission is I don't look at the numbers. I
look at like, who am I touching in this season?
And if that's what it is we're gonna rock out.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (56:49):
I wanted to ask you, Now, your mother's a pastor Crest.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
She still so to talk about growing up with your
mother being the pastor and you're still doing the funny
skits and the outlander skits and but you still are
so close to your faith.

Speaker 12 (57:02):
Yeah, my mom, Like again, her mission is to do
what she has to do the ministry. But this is
the thing we're doing ministry. Okay, we're healing, like laughter
is healing, you know, outside of what.

Speaker 13 (57:14):
We do is a gift.

Speaker 12 (57:15):
You know what Jess does on stage, I can't do
what she do that's up there fifteen minutes, twenty minutes
for the five, I'm gonna be here, Like.

Speaker 13 (57:23):
Can we do some magic tricks? But that's what you're yo,
I want to do some magic tricks, y'all? Do you
under saying it?

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Like that's me?

Speaker 14 (57:33):
You know, like gay, can we just come on that?

Speaker 12 (57:36):
Like let me put the pig roll back on, Like
that's just like I commend them for being in their
purpose and walking in their purpose and being the legend
that she is. Me on the other hand, I'm like,
I'm gonna jump on some tables. I'm gonna be some
be a personality, these characters that I have, and there's
no judging, like just walking your gift and when God
steers you some other way, go do that too.

Speaker 13 (57:56):
But right now in this season, I'm just doing both.
I'm balancing it all.

Speaker 12 (57:59):
I mean, people may take it serious, may not, you know,
and some people you know, may not take it serious. Like, okay,
should we trust in this character that has been doing
this stuff for years now, she's writing a book.

Speaker 13 (58:10):
I don't believe it.

Speaker 12 (58:11):
So that's why everybody face I'm posting every day about it.
I ain't on the table right now. I'm gonna just
let y'all see what's going on, because respect this avenue.
You know, we we we're doing a lot, but respect
this calling. Until I decided to say, all right, it's
been five months. Now let me get back to what
I'm doing and still carry with it because it's my brand,
you know. But my mom, she loves me. She doesn't judge.

(58:32):
She like, if this is what you're doing, just don't
do nothing that's gonna take you away from God.

Speaker 13 (58:36):
Yess it, that's all. She not that type of mother
for sure.

She see me winding. She's seen me talk about people.
She seen me up there, Karen On. So yeah, we
just want to walk into that.

Speaker 3 (59:25):
You know that you talked about Jess and her gift
of being able to do stand up like you know,
stage plays have been around forever, you know what I mean.
There's people that have made multimillions of dollars off stage places.
Of course, we know the Tyler Perry, the uh David
towert I think, yes, David Towart, I think yeah. But
but but that's a lane that a lot of people,

(59:45):
especially your generation aren't in you could easily be producing
stage yeah, yeah.

Speaker 12 (59:49):
Yeah, And everyone tells me that they're like, I just
got a text. I think that Tory Lanes, I know
you hear me shut out free Like he at me
the other day and was just like, yo, you could
be producing plays like you're.

Speaker 13 (01:00:04):
Just be like.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
But yo, yeah, just gonna followed you too.

Speaker 13 (01:00:11):
Man, Well she wasn't following me from she wasn't following me.
But I love Meg and you know that.

Speaker 12 (01:00:23):
But I'm just telling you what he told me, you know,
shout out to him like, hey, like I think you
should do that. And of course Charlat told me too.
I brought the idea to him, like, yo, I want
to do this. I want to do these plays, you know,
I want to get my characters involved. But my thing
is is, like I sent him out the devotion. I said, look,
thank you so much for that advice. But we're gonna
we act on it. We're gonna act on it. But
I just I just want to make sure everything is right.
And someone told me just do it. I think I'll

(01:00:45):
just be scared of people, just like, are y'all gonna show?
Like y'all gonna come out and for me. That's how
it was a serion. I was like, y'all gonna buy
a ticket like you know what it is. And I
was so nervous that day, but I know, I know,
so that's why I just I went at it.

Speaker 13 (01:00:59):
And just did it all.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
We got more with Pretty V. When we come back,
don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning, Everybody's
dj n V just hilarious, Charlamagne the God.

Speaker 14 (01:01:08):
We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with
Pretty V.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Yes.

Speaker 7 (01:01:12):
Now with all of the long list of everything that
you've been doing, you also received your honorary doctor. Yeah,
and for humanitarianism. I say that we're humanitarianism. Last year,
I know, just said it should be a certificate.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
Ya, just a certificate. I knew he was coming.

Speaker 12 (01:01:30):
I know it, I know it.

Speaker 13 (01:01:31):
Certificate.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
He now did that.

Speaker 7 (01:01:34):
Now, I know you're proud of that. I'm extremely proud
of because you went to college in real life anyway
you got really you know what I mean. But not
taking anything away from your honorary doctor again, but did
that moment when people were coming for you or you know,
the backlash that you received from it, did that take
away from like the enjoyment. Did that take away from
you know, the fact that it was a victory for you,

(01:01:54):
that was still a victory that you received it did,
But it.

Speaker 12 (01:01:58):
Didn't right because, like I said, I wasn't the only
one who received it. My mother received it that day,
My brother received it that day. And I feel like
there was there's a process. It wasn't like, Yo, what
up can we honor You're gonna get your doctor's No.
I had to, like for the whole moment out. I
had to get in this class and doss put work.
I had to just do the whole thing before I
got it. So I think it was that that moment

(01:02:19):
dragged out for the longest. I was like, why are
we still talking about all the doctors. I didn't ever
tell y'all I was getting a white coat.

Speaker 13 (01:02:25):
But I didn't say, Charlotte, come to the graduation and
just be here at five and be bring your wife
and kids. Like I didn't say that.

Speaker 8 (01:02:35):
I said.

Speaker 13 (01:02:38):
And I said I was getting a white coat.

Speaker 12 (01:02:40):
I got something that community respect and honored, and I
was feeling great about it, like all these great people
got it usher Miss Michael Jackson.

Speaker 13 (01:02:48):
I guess because I'm not in that caliber.

Speaker 12 (01:02:50):
It doesn't matter, and she's on the girl, she's doing
the skits and like we're not taking it serious, Like oh,
they're just giving out this title to everybody.

Speaker 10 (01:02:56):
Whatever.

Speaker 13 (01:02:56):
I was like, whatever, I got it.

Speaker 12 (01:02:58):
They see me, they acknowledged me, they gave my flowers.
They shouldn't change the name, it shouldn't be a certificate dress.
But at the end of the day, it is what
it is.

Speaker 3 (01:03:06):
You know.

Speaker 12 (01:03:06):
I got it and I stood on it, and I
know my friends were happy. I know you guys, I
definitely I was just like, let's get it, let's go,
you know. So it's just for the next person, you know,
like they may call you and say, just we want
you to be in the honorary delta.

Speaker 13 (01:03:19):
I'm like, I'm all four, I love that for you
a doctor's and she might be akay, yeah, ak ma
car and we like jazz, do you not? I know,
I did a whole video for you when you got
this position for Breakfast Club.

Speaker 12 (01:03:34):
The whole video was represented around Jess Hilaire's because this
is awesome where you're sitting like this.

Speaker 13 (01:03:39):
It was no other person. I hit sela. I said,
oh you that's Jesse, Like she deserves that. Seat.

Speaker 12 (01:03:45):
So even when you went gone with missing for the baby,
I'm like, okay, we're just at you know, but again
things have to come in and feel in for you.

Speaker 13 (01:03:52):
But this is your seat.

Speaker 12 (01:03:53):
So as a person, as a pretty v A b
simone a just so as a Drew Ski a Marco.
These are accolades that we're like, whoa, we're getting like
and I'm just happy that I got it, and I'm
happy that it's on my house.

Speaker 7 (01:04:05):
St it up, and I'm like, I'm happy for you.

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
It's amazing. I got one from South Carolina State. Just
getting one from Baltimore City Community College. First of all,
oh my god, what you know, I'm not getting anything from.

Speaker 14 (01:04:15):
City Community College.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
No, they didn't stand nothing. They don't even have.

Speaker 13 (01:04:21):
That's the community college. Don't do them like that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Damn got no, Damn City want to give you honorary doctorate, you.

Speaker 13 (01:04:27):
Know that, and just get that from the community college.
We let like.

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
He had to look at it such a clan.

Speaker 7 (01:04:39):
You talking about me about you said earlier that you
know you're talking about people you've dated in the book
and stuff too.

Speaker 12 (01:04:47):
Yeah, I ain't say no names, you know, I say,
ain't no names in a book. She called to make
sure I could throw a little other than that.

Speaker 7 (01:04:55):
Where's the love life now? Since you don't working on
yourself and you had one hundred days that you age
and to thank newly?

Speaker 14 (01:05:01):
Yeah, where's the dating status?

Speaker 7 (01:05:03):
Single and not.

Speaker 13 (01:05:04):
Ready to mingle? We is focused?

Speaker 14 (01:05:06):
We is getting to it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
I mean we.

Speaker 12 (01:05:08):
I'm on a mission right now to just focus on
a pretty victory, focus on all the great things.

Speaker 13 (01:05:12):
Whatever I put down on picking back up in the season.

Speaker 12 (01:05:15):
I feel like like I'm just growing spiritually more like
I'm asking God to cover my heart.

Speaker 13 (01:05:21):
Be open to new collection connections, but cover my heart,
cover my borderlines of my ear gates.

Speaker 12 (01:05:26):
Like I'm just really intrigued, just having fun, like the skits,
the comedic side, and I'm running with Charlotte told me
it's like, yo, you're all purpose entertainer. I'm running with that,
doing everything I could possibly do whatever I put down
on picking back up. So right now I'm single. You know,
I hear whoever like you hear me, like like Miami Dolphins, Eagles,
what they do, like.

Speaker 13 (01:05:47):
You know, dances entrepreneurs where y'all ask.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
What what?

Speaker 13 (01:05:57):
Whatever? I hear you know were working in single?

Speaker 3 (01:05:59):
I'm just I want to ask both of y'all some
you in just right because in Day nineteen you talk
about following God's instructions, right, So I want to ask you,
how do you know what instructions of God's instructions and whatnot?

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
And I wonder about that in regards to relationships.

Speaker 3 (01:06:11):
Like just God say you know what, that's who you
should be dating or that's who you should be dealing with.

Speaker 7 (01:06:15):
Absolutely, I feel like God sent me a man after
his own heart, you know, me and Chrissed we pray together.

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
That's my partner.

Speaker 7 (01:06:21):
Just the first time I've been in a relationship where
I actually feel like we're doing the spiritual growing together,
you know what I mean. Like in other relationships they
I'm not saying that I was dating atheists, you know,
but I would initiate the praying. I would initiate, Yo,
let's let's read together.

Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
Let's you know when you.

Speaker 7 (01:06:38):
Know you sent me to of these right? He took
one and he's like, yo, I didn't know she was
doing the daily devotional. I said, yeah, well she sends me.
He said, I know she was turning into a book,
and you know, we started reading it.

Speaker 14 (01:06:48):
Like he he's very very spiritual.

Speaker 7 (01:06:51):
He's a Christian godfair man. And yeah, I do feel
like God has spoken to to me and told me
this is this is the last person that you want
to be with. This is the last and final relationship.
This is what I was preparing you for. I do
believe that wholeheartedly.

Speaker 13 (01:07:05):
Yes, I believe that for you.

Speaker 3 (01:07:07):
What about you God told? If God told you, look,
I don't want you dealing with nobody right now.

Speaker 12 (01:07:12):
See, God is the author of confusion, So whenever it
gets a little rocky for me, I know that's not him.
I've been in spaces where it's been confused, confusion, manipulative.
I talk about that, conniving, just controlling, and that is
not of God. Now, God will put you into situations
for you to learn. It's a lesson. Like a warning
does come in from destructure. Understand what that means like

(01:07:33):
it comes for the destructure. So I think in this
season God is saying be still and be patient because
you have tapped into different relationships, whether it wasn't good
for you, you have tapped into different friendships that held
you back.

Speaker 13 (01:07:44):
So I think in this season he is telling me
to be still and wait on him. See key First,
the Kingdom of God. I keep hearing that. Every time
somebody called me, they're like, oh, you were in my
spirit and this dropped in it. Matthew, you need to
read it.

Speaker 12 (01:07:56):
So I'm like, Okay, what am I doing that is
moving too quick and not bring God along so and
and waiting on his answer. So that's why I said
in the beginning, I'm just waiting on that soft whisper
to move. So in this space that I'm in, I'm like,
if it ain't of him, and if I ain't, if
we ain't doing what we need to do, I don't
want you. I don't care how much money you got.
I don't care if you got the unit chain on.

Speaker 13 (01:08:15):
I don't care. If the jebos is to the ground,
I don't care if the tims is flapping. I don't
want it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:27):
We got more with Pretty V. When we come back.

Speaker 14 (01:08:28):
It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Breakfast Club, Good morning.
Everybody is gj n V. Just hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
Charlamagne and the God. We are the Breakfast Club. It's
still kicking it with Pretty V. So question, what's the
most important chapter in this book to you?

Speaker 13 (01:08:46):
The most?

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
If you wanted one person to say I wanted you
to read this one chapter because I think this chapter
is whatever.

Speaker 12 (01:08:52):
Yeah, I love you, I love you, And because we
don't hear that enough. Yeah, the household I grew up in,
my mother said it, but my dad was very slim
to none, you know, Caribbean man, very hard, very like straightforward.
You don't hear it as much, and then when you do,
it's like I have to say it, all right, dad,
do you hear me? I said, I love you.

Speaker 13 (01:09:12):
I love you too.

Speaker 4 (01:09:13):
Oh.

Speaker 13 (01:09:14):
My father showed he loved us for sure, but it
wasn't like I want you. I want you to tell
me that.

Speaker 12 (01:09:19):
Because the trips and the gifts and the Christmas stuff
and the Specter school closed, that's cool, But I need
to tell you who I fell in love with and.

Speaker 13 (01:09:26):
They broke my heart. You know, I need you to
understand like that.

Speaker 12 (01:09:29):
I'm hurting right now and I don't need to call
my mentors in the industry to ask for advice. I
want to call you first. So I Love You is
my favorite day of the book. I don't know what
day that is, but that's one of them. More because
we don't hear it. I didn't hear it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
How was that change you as a person. Do you
say I love you to everybody now? Because you missed that,
you didn't get that like you wanted.

Speaker 12 (01:09:49):
I do say I love you to a lot of people.
But I also I think my heart is warm to people.
It's like more open because my father was very closed. Gotcha, yeah,
Like again, it was just all about making sure you're
dependent your this, become a lawyer, become a realist.

Speaker 13 (01:10:03):
He didn't care about the comedy.

Speaker 12 (01:10:04):
He was just like that ain't gonna be like whatever
until I showed him that I could turn funey into money.
And so I showed him that I could do these
things about my first home and help the family, you know,
as much as I can.

Speaker 13 (01:10:15):
But I love you was not he didn't say that
as much.

Speaker 7 (01:10:18):
You know, where is there relationship with your dad? Now
we're good.

Speaker 12 (01:10:21):
We locked in like that's my daddy, like you know,
but it's just like being a Caribbean. He's everything's hard.
Like it's just like all right, books, make sure you're
in there, make sure you become who you're supposed to be.

Speaker 13 (01:10:31):
Don't do this, don't do that. But like me and
my death, like my best friend, those talks I did
him we had a moment one day in Miami and
we was back and forth. Then like I was like
in his space and like.

Speaker 12 (01:10:41):
You need to respect da da da da. So he
texts me and my dad and my dad don't even know.
I don't even know how you know how to text.
I was like, is my little brother doing this for you?
Or this is from your heart? And he was like,
we just have to work on communication. That's the first
time he understood my side and I understood his side,
you know.

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
So, yeah, how did you pick who you wanted to do?
Your help with the vote.

Speaker 13 (01:11:00):
I'm the impact that you guys put on my life.

Speaker 12 (01:11:02):
I mean before like I knew a rap was Charlotte
was just like, yo, this show would be great for you.
You know, the advice that I've gotten over the years
from him, like keep going. You know, I'll text Strala
and like you love you, keep going, you two v
keep striving.

Speaker 13 (01:11:16):
It's just the impact, Jess.

Speaker 12 (01:11:18):
I watched her growth. I'm inspired by her walk again,
Like I said, I can't do what she does. I
think is inspiring to me. Issa, you know, taking a
chance on me to be a part of her show
and still speaking to me after the fact, like checking
up on me. And you know she was gonna be
one of my monerators, you know, for the book too.
But her schedulings for people fee what I'm saying, people
who to come out, they way to do things like
this is a pinch me moment for me.

Speaker 13 (01:11:39):
You know, I don't take this for granted. Like everything
to me is like pure and genuine. I love it.
And Shack forgive me the best advice.

Speaker 12 (01:11:45):
Every time I will respond in the blogs, Shack will
hit me like literally two minutes after, you know, I
how to call you, like yo, tell Shana walk me up.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
I know.

Speaker 13 (01:11:53):
So I think for me, it's more of like him,
give me the best advice. Don't respond. You're a queen.
You don't come off your throne for them people.

Speaker 12 (01:12:00):
And I didn't understand because I want to explain so
much and he's like, na, we're not doing that and
do vall like that's just my dog. Kiara's Share helped
me when I was in you know, in my head
during COVID. She gave me her aunt's counselor you know, therapist,
so I could talk to her. So shout out to
Kiya's Share like I was really in a bad place
in twenty twenty, and she was just like, you know,
look at the Bible. Everybody in there had a committed

(01:12:21):
suicide overthinking you had this in the Bible like this,
You're not the only one walking through this space. V like,
keep your head up and I'm gonna give you my
auntie's counselor so you could talk to them, because I
was afraid of it, Like I was like, I'm a
church girl, like all you gotta do is pray and
you'll be all right.

Speaker 13 (01:12:34):
But no, you actually need somebody. I'm talking about you.

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
We'll put you in that space. In twenty twenty, just
the COVID.

Speaker 12 (01:12:39):
You know, and I had COVID, and COVID hit me mentally,
it didn't hit me physically. I was just in my
head at the brain fog, overthinking stuff like just doing
the most. And I kept calling mom, I think I
need to go talk to somebody, and she was like,
it's COVID.

Speaker 13 (01:12:52):
Like it was bad.

Speaker 12 (01:12:53):
Twenty twenty was bad. Everyone was passing or at that time,
and I just didn't know how. I didn't know how
to center myself. And I think in that sea is
like get in your word, like God's pulling on you
with some things. He wants to talk to you spiritually.
And that's when I reach out to Kiki and she
was just like, you know, I'm gonna tell you right
now to keep going, but you know this is gonna happen,
but get in your word and I'm gonna give you
my Auntie's.

Speaker 13 (01:13:14):
You know, counsel so you could talk to her.

Speaker 12 (01:13:15):
So everyone plays a part of my life, the Victoria
teach can, but like just everybody in here, so be
small like everyone's in this book.

Speaker 2 (01:13:21):
Let's end on this. You say, if you're starving, you'll
eat anything.

Speaker 12 (01:13:24):
Oh Lord, if you're starving, you will eat anything. It's
just it's just plain and simple.

Speaker 9 (01:13:30):
You know.

Speaker 12 (01:13:30):
Again, you gotta wait and be patient, Like like I
just said, if the opportunity come for me to do
something that's off brand and I want it and I
feel like I'm not doing anything at the moment and
I feel like i need the money, or if I
feel like i want to be at a place just
to show the people i'm working, I'll do anything.

Speaker 13 (01:13:48):
Down the line.

Speaker 12 (01:13:49):
It starts tending things and tending to brand and making
you look crazy when you should just wait, be patient, in.

Speaker 13 (01:13:54):
This scene and just wait.

Speaker 12 (01:13:56):
That's the thing, Like opportunities have come to me to
do certain things and I've said no, no, no, But
if and I know I needed the money, I know
I needed to do certain things. I know I wanted
to put it towards share on show or just my craft.
But if I would have said yes, I'm just doing
anything just to do it, I'm not waiting on the process.

Speaker 13 (01:14:14):
That's what I just said.

Speaker 12 (01:14:15):
And I think day two there's a process before the promise.
And the thing about it is we'll just go through.
Try to go straight through that promise. And it ain't
doing nothing. It's just you just did it just because
to seem to show your fans and your followers that
you moving and you working.

Speaker 13 (01:14:30):
I'm out here with d but they got you doing
all these roles.

Speaker 12 (01:14:33):
I remember a producer hit me out there and say, yo,
I want you to be a stud and be like
a lesbian stud in one of my movies. And and
I was like you straight, Like I don't want to
do that bigger than that, like you know, like no shade,
like I don't want to put like you have a
stout y'all straight like.

Speaker 13 (01:14:48):
I'm good like I don't want to do that.

Speaker 7 (01:14:50):
Did you tell them I would do that?

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
Crazy?

Speaker 13 (01:15:00):
You want to do this wrong?

Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
I want to be a study already, study on these.

Speaker 13 (01:15:11):
Like lesbian, she a little a.

Speaker 7 (01:15:14):
Little leg she like wife beat on.

Speaker 13 (01:15:19):
I'm like, I don't want to do for me, but
I didn't want to.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
Well, the book is out now, the Pretty Victory, and
I think it's only right. We leave with a prayer.

Speaker 7 (01:15:31):
Yes, a pretty prayer.

Speaker 13 (01:15:33):
That's cool.

Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
What a pretty prayer?

Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
Is it?

Speaker 13 (01:15:35):
Like a long prayer? Are we getting?

Speaker 2 (01:15:38):
Because when you just got pressed? So what's up?

Speaker 13 (01:15:40):
Thing?

Speaker 10 (01:15:41):
Okay?

Speaker 13 (01:15:42):
Period?

Speaker 12 (01:15:42):
