| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:42.4 | Hold up. Every day I wake up. The Breakfast Club. You're all finished or y'all's done? Yep, it's the World Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club. Shalamey Nogh, DJ Envy, Jess, hilarious. Envi and Jess are here. But Lauren LaRosa is, and we got a special guest in the building, man. I have been watching this brother's work for a long time. He's got a new podcast called Learn the hard way. It's Keir Games. Yes, sir. You pronounced it perfectly. Okay. How are you, my brother? I'm good. How y'all are doing, man? Bless black and highly favored, man. Now, if you don't know who care is, he's a mental health advocate and he is a licensed therapist. I feel like it's very important to say that now. |
| 0:47.4 | I feel like that's a hot topic at the moment. I would say so. You know, I wanted to add, |
