I've been nothing but nice to you. But you got to keep up this kid rock image that you don't fuck with black people. That's what we do. That's what whites do. Get over it. That's our thing. We got to rebel.

Yeah. Yo. All right, go have fun and record. I love you. I'll talk to you boys later. Fuck you. The Donnell Rawlings Show, live in your face. Fuck y'all bitches.

You never take my place, nigga. Thank you. If some kind of way you stumbled up on the Donnell Rawlings show, you'll understand that I have been on somewhat of a hiatus from podcasting. And the number one reason why is because I hate doing this shit. You know, I really hate doing this shit. And it's not that I hate talking. I hate doing the whole podcast shit. And first off, me coming back, I decided to break all the rules when it comes to, like, black entertainers. I said I was going to be here on time.

I'm going to be ready to go. I'm going to be rested or whatever. And I just assumed that it would be a team of producers that were waiting for me already set up and just, like, walk into it. Cut to the white man is late right oh is he gonna walk off his podcast like he walked off kill tony podcast and if there's any like like cross uh of fans whatever if anybody is a fan um of kill tony does listen to us right now, I'd like to say, fuck Kill Tony. All right? That's fair.

Let the trolling begin. Not fuck Tony. I fuck with Tony, but fuck Kill Tony. Is that mostly because Tony has career opportunities to present you? First off, I don't need a white man to present a career opportunity. All right? I don't need that.

I fuck you and your gatekeeping friends. Already know Jutan Clan ain't nothing to fuck with. And I don't know why the fuck I'm doing this other than I just feel like sometimes I need an outlet to talk to people. I haven't had a therapy session in a while. I've never had therapy. I believe that.

Why were you so quick to say you believe that? Because you have so many things to work on whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa wait a minute wait a minute so you saying as the white man that was late yeah that I did I have things I need to work on

in regard to my mental health well I mean as your friend who's like first off friend is overrated yeah all right as as an associate or as a co-partner or something but i don't know if we want to do friend but as a friend what um you know as as a friend like i first off i apologize for being late that was absolutely unacceptable right there were a lot of technical errors here that are my fault you know what i wanted this want to take that opportunity

to say you're fired, but we don't really make any money so I can't really fire you. That is absolutely fair. You said, I have things to work on. What do I need to work on in regard to my mental health? Well, I think... And I don't... Whatever you fucking want to say, what I do know is

I don't have a motherfucking anger issue. No, I don't think you have an anger issue. So say what you got to say. Well, the thing is, Donnell, it's hard to say what i do know is i don't have a motherfucking anger issue no i don't think you have an anger all right as just someone so say what you got to say well the thing is donnell it's hard to say things to you why well because you're such a big intelligent strong personality now you're trying to set me up bro that's not about to be but the thing is donnell is like i we our guest here at 11 you know we have a guest we have a guest hi We have a guest. Hi, Danelle. Can you hear me? Yeah. Who are you? My name is Andrew Hamilton. I am a business expert and I have been brought in, uh, well, because the situation is serious. What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean your business, your business? I don't even think that's a motherfucking title. Well, the reason I'm here,

Danelle is because your colleague. Is that a real accent? Is that a real accent? Or you just do that to try to get pussy? No, this is a big part of why he's so big on the Internet. We got in the biggest, best mentor for you, right? But who said I needed a mentor? You did.

Donnell, I think, look, I'm just here to help. I think everyone is just a big. All right, we understand you're here to help, but when the fuck are you going to start helping now? I'm based in Sydney, Australia. It's actually 4 a.m. here, Janelle, and that's how much of an emergency your colleagues believe that this is. I'm here to help you.

So I want you to know. You up at 4 o'clock to help a black person that you don't even fucking know. That's right. Usually I'm not even up till 5am. That's usually when I start with my ice bath and my meditation ritual. Oh man, you do. Nobody give a fuck about your fucking ice bath,

bro. Hmm. I didn't. We can talk about that. No, no, I don't want to talk about it. I don't know.

Yeah, they did. They did flag with me that you may be you may be hostile you may interrupt a lot uh you know they often say that the smartest man in the room is quiet is they a pro now they is me donnell they is him and the kicker is donnell like again andrew's one of the top experts in the field and in and in terms of getting views up like andrew's last video that he did on instagram got 35 million views. And so I think we have something to learn from him. Oh, you got 35 million views? Yeah. All right. So what do you suggest that I do? What do you suggest as a business person that's been on the

podcast game for a while and want to do it for multiple reasons? Thank you. They often say the man in the room is the quietest and these interruptions are only kind of proving that point further i need to just be able to all right i think what we did was we got past that we got past it you're going back i we i switched from i go ahead now danielle i'm a big fan of your comedy i think you're one of the best in the world you're almost up there at that level you're almost at the level of someone like Earthquake, obviously. Oh, wait! Yo! First off, you don't have a fucking Google anywhere, and what you're

trying to do is, I'm not going to let you, I'm not going to let you, a white man, ice-bathing motherfucker from Australia put a wedge between me and a black man that I respect and love. You're not going to do it. What kind of made the podcast end? Why did it fizzle out? It fizzled out because I was very, very aggressive about getting the podcast up during the pandemic

because I didn't have too much stuff to do. Right. And also I was, you know, trying to figure out if I can take this podcast and make money. And I got to that point. But then when the pandemic was open or the world became open again, I started backing to what I love more than anything on the road doing my stand-up. And then I lost the passion for it. It just wasn't matching up. Okay, so you're doing it mainly to be out of boredom to begin with, and then when you had more exciting... Man, listen, man, listen, man, listen, man, listen,

man, listen, man. Why all the fucking words you use are negative? Listen to how you're talking to me. I'm trying to understand these things. My job, Donnell, is to cut to the chase so we can get you making money again quick. Now, when i looked at

some of the descriptions for the episodes it looked like even the last 10 episodes before it finished we were they weren't even describing what was going on in the episode it felt like the love that may have been there at the very begin uh had started to fade and so what we're here what you mean the love started to fade i was was working on my fourth bitch if you saw the last one. I was having a problem with the queens. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say bitches. The queens.

It began to fizzle. We want to turn your new podcast into sizzle, right? We're here to talk from fizzle to sizzle. No, I mean, here's the thing. I once had the fizzle and the sizzle. For sure. I had it all. It was a little while ago.

So we're going to need to talk about your time management and your work-life balance. Because, look, Alex has told me that Donnell. What the fuck did Alex talk? You listen to, wait a minute. So your advice in the background, you're listening to motherfucking alex huh a motherfucker that be in any given moment is ready to jump off a fucking bridge that's the person you're getting advice from the guy who every fucking week is something deep pulling his fucking hair out right and? And I have a relationship with him

because I don't want him to jump off the bridge. I maintain a friendship with him to save his fucking life every day. And this is the guy that you're taking advice from. He's living because of me. You don't believe me? Ask him. Take that time out.

Ask him. What gives him the reason to live how many times he i talked him off the bridge alex how many times i mean andrew do you see the level of delusion we're dealing with like yeah like donnell i think it's important to know i was on the phone with alex yesterday And he was on the verge of tears talking about, you know how many times I talked to him. He was on the verge of tears. You know how many times?

How many times? For about an hour. We were on the phone and he was almost crying because he was so about you. He said that your, your love life could be a distraction from the podcast. Um, that there's, there's too many girlfriends.

We need to talk about this. The top business guys in the world are outsourcing, whether that's Zuckerberg, Musk, we're talking Bezos. All these guys are outsourcing things in their life. So that's why, Danelle, I want to recommend, it sounds like even if we're not saying love life, your sex life could be a distraction. So perhaps we could begin to outsource that, and you could have some guys who could come in and just carry

some of that load and sleep with a couple of girlfriends for you while we begin this process of growing out the podcast you really tested me you really tested me you really tested me i know this is cutting edge stuff but this is the kind of stuff that we might need just to be able to grow the podcast to the level that we want to get sex life has nothing to do with monetizing this motherfucking podcast okay all right well let's talk about just some of your previous business ideas can we talk about the candles because we're a bit worried about the candles i I haven't sold a candle in a while. I'm out of the candle business, bro.

Well, the website's still up. I'm into the merch business. I'm into the merch business. Now, now you're talking. I'm into the merch business. I redid my store. Shout out to my man, Ali. What is fucking funny about Ali? what the fuck is funny about Ali

just continue no what I'm trying to tell you is that I understand what you're saying that's being a merch site I just restarted my new merch shit I wasn't excited about doing merch I wasn't excited about $40 candles Janelle and it's worth it

have you smelled my ash have you smelled my ash? Have you smelled my ash? I have not. I don't think- You cannot make an assessment of my candle if you've not dipped that motherfucker ice-bathing fucking crazy-ass nose into my motherfucking candle. It's got- Nothing you've said. It's got Zilf written on it. And it says Zilf stands for, involved, loving father, right?

Which is beautiful. But I think it should stand for dumb ideas lose finances. Because I don't know how you make any money off a $40 candle with Dilfrid on it. Sizzle alert. This summer, let the only thing smoking at your barbecue be the grill. Not your grooming game. Get ready for the ultimate cookout season with Manscaped. Oh, man, I love me some Manscaped.

I love getting my tools right, and I love getting my meat right. Can I say that? Yeah. Okay, get your meat right. Because whether you're flipping burgers or cannonballing into the pool, make sure your meat looks neat with the Performance Package 5.0 Ultra. Fire up your grooming routine and keep it cool with Manscaped. You gotta respect a person that cares about

keeping their manscape. And for the guys out there, there is nothing worse than you about to get busy and you're not scaped up or groomed right. So I 100% support the idea of a man keeping

his meat right for the grill. And I have to say, this package, the Performance Package 5.0 Ultra, it comes with freaking everything. So first you get the Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra, which is basically the classic manscaper tool. And what's great about it, again, is that when you have other of these kind of tools, you get a lot of nicks, cuts, uncomfortable things in your private parts that you do not need not with the lawnmower 5.0 not only that but they have the weed whacker 2.0 which keeps your ears and nose tidy so again for people like us who are hairy they not like us they not like us i feel like everybody like us because everybody got hairy nose and ears and stuff um it's important to keep your tool right, keep your nose right

and keep your ears right, especially if you're going to impress these girls. Yeah, and the kicker is Manscaped doesn't help you just clean up, they help you go the extra mile. So they even have the Crop Soother Ball Aftershave Lotion. Whoa! Yeah, dude. I can't remember a time that my balls smelled that fresh.

And even then, they stay fresh because they even throw in the crop preserver anti-chafing ball deodorant. Oh, man. So it's basically, if you're at a sunny beach day or a BBQ barbecue, like basically you put that on and your balls will not get sweaty. And your balls will smell

nice. And if you're still worried, they throw in the Manscaped Boxers 2.0, which basically are equipped with a signature jewel pouch to protect your meatballs whenever the heat takes you. And this is not for the vegans out there. Protect your meat. So here's how we get the deal, Donnell. So to get 20% off in free shipping, use the code Donnell at Manscaped.com.

Do you have any kids? Absolutely. Donnell. Do you have any kids? Yes, I believe so, somewhere. Donnell, well, you talk

about your brain being sharp, your mind being sharp. We're worried about the weed smoking as well. Why are you worried about the weed smoking? I think it might be, from a business point of view, it might be better for you if you're doing cocaine instead of the weed. I'm just saying when you're thinking about the podcast, perhaps that maybe you can stay up late at night and just brainstorm ideas. This may be better from a business point of view.

I don't like none of your advice. I don't know whose idea this was. I don't like none of your advice. I don't like none of your advice. I'm telling you, I don't give a fuck you being the top whatever. However you did it, I don't know how it happened, because your advice is shitty. I'm just here to help.

Your advice is shitty. Your advice is caca. It's shit. It's shot. Would you say that you have a good work-life balance at the moment? What do you do in your downtime? The only reason I even came today was to shit on the white man because he wanted to be like,

he's a flake. I wanted to show up. I had no idea I was going to fucking talk to you. That was the worst call ever. I feel like we've made some forward progress here. Firstly, you're welcome. I think that this is exciting. I think, Janelle, that with the work-life balance,

we need to work on that a bit because you need to be prioritizing the podcast in your downtime if you really want to level up. I just wanted to give you a little example of something that I've done recently with my work-life balance because that's such an important part. Nobody even answered my calls. I called three friends. I can only help people who are ready to listen to now.

I feel like there's a lot of stuff I'm saying here that is just going in one ear and going out the other. I thought before we go, I thought there's just a couple of things that I thought I'd just tell you that maybe have helped later down the track that will just pop in your head. You'd be like, wow, Andrew was right. First one is don't use a cannon to kill a mosquito, right? That's just an important business philosophy that I think may be useful.

A rolling stone gathers no moss. That's one that I find is always coming up in day-to-day business. Yo, son, son, son, son. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, Donnell. No, I want to talk. This is my motherfucking show. All right. I judge a book by its cover.

I want to talk. This is my show. Your circle of influence, Donnell, it's way too big. Hold on, hold on, Andrew, Andrew, Andrew. It's too big. Andrew, Andrew, please. Andrew. These days, in my Andrew, please. Andrew. These days, in my research, I'm finding that the best way is to have a triangle that's medium.

Andrew! Yes. Yes, Danelle. I'm listening. It's my fucking show, man. How the... Yo. Man, this is the reason why.

This is the reason. Andrew, man, fuck all that, man. I don't give a fuck about this show, man. I don't give a fuck about this show. This. I don't give a fuck about this show. This is why I stopped doing this shit in the first place. I feel like at the end of the day, though, if you go look at all the most successful people in our society, like David Goggins, like Joe Rogan,

frankly, they believe a lot of things that are unconventional to you. And part of the whole system that Andrew's developed is you have to give yourself to the system. First off, a white man telling a black man to give himself to the system first off a white man telling a black man give yourself to the system that's like invite me to a ditty party yo do you know how fucking do you know how you about to wear a dress conversation that was give it a little while don't know sometimes my advice can be a slow burn I think maybe in a few days from now you'll wake up and you'll be like, wow, my God, he was right.
