Hello, everybody.
I'd like to start by saying thank you for being a fan or a foe of the Donnell Rawlings
show.
I know some people that watch this show, listen to this show, they listen and watch because
they're fans of mine.
And other people listen and watch because they're haters of mine.
But in the event that you don't know what you want to do, be a hater or a lover, I need you to subscribe.
We like the people that love us and we support the people that hate us.
We're trying to get these subs up.
Make sure you subscribe to the Donnie O'Reilly Show right now.
You're watching and you're listening, but you're not subscribing.
Do it right now, bitch.
Haters, we welcome you.
And now, time for the show.
The Donnell Rawlings show,
live in your face.
Fuck that bitch ass thing.
You'll never take my place you dicker! Thank you. So this episode marks a very monumental, monumental, monumental time.
Monumental.
This podcast represents a monumental time
in my history as a podcaster.
This is the 75th.
First off, let me explain.
The voice you heard in the background
is a young lady that's been part
of the Team Chappelle brand
for so many years she
went from slinging t-shirts to becoming the production product coordinator ceof what is it
called executive production coordinator executive production coordinator for dave chapelle and when
we discussed this title earlier she said which means i'm Dave's bitch. Not in that type of way, but a person that supports him and makes sure he's okay.
Yes. Team play.
And the introduction is like, before I was really interrupted, when I first started doing my
podcast, or when I had the thought of doing a podcast, I wasn't excited about calling people
to be guests on my show. I've talked about this on many platforms. I wasn't excited about calling people to be guests on my show.
I've talked about this on many platforms.
I wasn't excited because I hate when the motherfuckers say, nah, I'm good.
I hate the person that always says, yo, son, y'all know this.
Yo, son, whatever you need, I got you.
Say less.
Done.
No caps. Is that a cool phrase now? caps what does that mean no no lie no lie
right no lie no caps they say all that so when you finally get the nerve to ask this person to
assist you you get the voicemail you get voicemail they just go straight to voicemail. You get voicemail. It goes straight to voicemail.
And I'm an old head, so I actually leave voicemail messages.
You actually leave messages?
I leave messages.
I leave voicemail messages.
I do.
I'm like this, just in case, because sometimes you get things lost in translation.
You know what I mean?
You can't really feel.
I thought you said you had me, nigga, in a text.
Yeah.
You know, but did you say yeah to the N-word?
Okay, moving on.
You know, you can't say, I thought you had me, nigga, on a text.
You can't, people have to hear that.
But now they do it.
Now they got the new shit, voice text messaging, right?
Yeah, because nobody listens to the voicemail you're leaving.
Man, that's the dumbest shit I ever heard, man.
People just want to control their part of the conversation.
I think so.
Because when you send me a message that you texted,
and you're like, hey, just wanted to say I got your message,
why you can't just call me?
Why you can't just call me?
Or why you can't just do the regular text? It's like the FaceTime level of texting. I hate that. So anybody, I bet if this is one of them motherfuckers
right now, I'll lose my shit. What's the podcast download numbers per week?
That's from my manager.
I don't know.
We're about at 30,000.
So I'm going to get myself back on track.
So when I first started doing or thoughts of doing a podcast,
didn't want to call anybody.
I was like, I want to make this podcast interesting.
I want people to be excited to hear from and see me.
And I just didn't want to call anybody.
So I was just doing a show in Philadelphia.
Shout out to all the people
that came to support me in Philadelphia.
Helium.
It was a dope weekend.
All sold out.
Shout out for the people
that supported that.
So I had to do another podcast.
I said, let me go to What The Fuck Studios
to do a podcast.
And I had a couple of guests on the list.
And all of them fucking didn't show up.
How many of us have them, friends, before they didn't show up?
So I said, Donnell, are you going to go back to
your original idea of doing the podcast completely by yourself and i said yes but one thing about
talking to people by yourself sometimes you get loopy and you have nobody to bounce off nobody
to fact check any of the lies that you're saying none of that so i want to thank uh heather for
sitting in to do that for me at the last minute.
And I want to thank you for being such a
such a dope part of the
Chappelle Show brand.
Everybody loves you.
Thank you. And what they like the
most is the
There it is.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, you gotta
there it is, double up.
And the funny thing about, and our whole group from security, everybody, you get used to hearing the, and then when you don't get a, you're like, where's the fucking, so that's what she going, we going to just interject, whoever, in the meantime.
And you can't do it on demand, like, like just do it, can't do that, right?
I mean, I could, but it's not authentic's not authentic It's okay. What is it?
Go to real one
I'm telling you as a stand-up comic you should travel with a snorter
And I'm not talking about the illegal snorter, not the illegal.
The snorter is somebody that keeps you on track.
Somebody gets your time and they snort on,
not on cue, but when you hit a funny note.
All right.
So part of this episode is that I got to 75 episodes.
I got to 75 episodes of this podcast.
If I'm not mistaken,
we've been out in the podcast world for like two years.
When I first started, I started this podcast and I said, I don't want to get an elaborate studio.
I just want to do something that's simple, that the audience would grow with me.
And some of y'all people that's listening and watching now,
you're assholes.
You're real assholes.
And this is going back to the friend and foe thing.
Some of you motherfuckers are assholes.
And when I say
that, nothing is good enough.
Yeah, Donnell,
this show is funny, but I think you should
bring the levels up in the headphones to like a 3.4.
Everybody want to direct it and be the engineer.
I like that, but I think the lighting in the background, man, fuck that.
It's a content, funny.
Is it interesting?
Do you like it?
And that's why when I first started, I didn't want to do it at Labrador Studio because I was like, I want people to grow with me.
And I did that, and I want to shout this young lady out. She was supposed to be in the podcast. Things
didn't work out the way I thought it was going to work out. But someone that's very much a part of
the success and the demise of this podcast, Kate Quigley. Kate Quigley, I was talking about doing
a podcast for like a couple of years. And finally she said, Donahue, just do the podcast. Dude,
she's blonde. So she always does her hair like this. She's like, dude, you can just do the podcast. We can do it at my place. So we did it at her place. We did it in her living room.
We had the cheesiest background. But the thing that I think is important with podcasts,
we had a very engaging conversation. It was funny.
It was bootlegged shit.
But with every episode, we grew.
Every episode, we grew.
And she started this podcast with me.
And I understand.
This is what the streets are telling me.
The streets are telling me that Donnell rollins is difficult to work with
facts i didn't ask for a fact you're supposed to be the fact checker you can't just say facts
like like i need like to find the A fact, but not say facts.
There's words on the streets, room on the streets,
that Donnell is hard to work with.
And I want to know,
what is so hard about working with Donnell?
You want me to start?
So it's a list of shit?
It's a list of shit?
I mean, no, not a whole list.
But it seems like you know one or two things that make me hard to work with.
Impatient.
Impatient? What you mean I'm impatient?
You're impatient.
You know what?
I would. You're getting better.
I'm not going to agree with that. I will say this
because I dated this young lady once
and I said, I don't have any patients.
She said, you don't have one patient.
Like, I don't have one.
No.
But what am I impatient about?
Anything and everything.
Do you have an example of me being impatient?
No examples.
That means that's false.
False allegations.
If you have no example of you being a patient, maybe I didn't want to walk somewhere before.
Yeah, you don't want to walk.
You wouldn't even walk across the street.
You may just get an Uber.
I'm famous.
It was across the street.
I'm famous.
Do you know what could happen going across the street?
Huh?
And when you say you're ready to go?
I'm ready to go.
You're ready to go.
Exactly.
So what's wrong?
Fuck paying the tab.
What?
Cash. Fuck paying the tab?
Yeah, like, you know, we've talked about this.
When you say you're ready to go, there's logistics.
You have a group of people.
If there is someone that is responsible to make sure I'm good when I'm irresponsible,
then that should be their job.
Like, I think so.
And I'm not trying to, like, downgrade,
or I'm not trying to, like, diss anybody or whatever,
but I know I'm not that responsible.
So I position myself in life where I can afford
to have someone...
Have responsible people around you.
Have responsible people around me to make me responsible.
And no, I'm not walking across the street.
On Hollywood Boulevard, I don't think that's a good idea.
Hollywood Boulevard, traffic's going.
I didn't want to walk across the street.
I wanted to get a car.
Okay, I played myself.
I didn't know how far, boys and girls,
didn't know how far we were supposed to walk.
So I was adamant about I don't walk.
Literally get in the fucking car and go two blocks,
and I was like, God damn.
It wasn't even two blocks.
That's exaggerating.
All right, well, it was a half a block.
It was across the street.
It was across the street, but we had to hit the light,
and I was like, oh, shit.
Maybe I should have took this walk.
All right, back to 75th.
Back to the thing that really keeps me going about this podcast is that I know that there are people that listen.
I know there's people that's interested in my life.
I know there's people that's interested in the things that's going on in my friend's life.
And I think a podcast is the perfect platform for it.
But when I first started
I did not know what the fuck I was doing some people probably say right now you still don't
know what the fuck you're doing nigga but I've had moments I've had moments on the podcast where
like we've like laughed like crazy I've had moments where I was lost to words
I had moments where I was lost to words,
didn't know what to say,
but was just in an emotional,
an emotional state.
And I think that that's what
makes a podcast good,
when people can see
every side of you,
not just the happy-go-lucky shit.
And that's another thing
I really appreciate
about this podcast.
I don't always have to be funny.
When I first started,
I was always,
I got to get a joke.
I got to get a joke now. You don't always have to be funny. When I first started, I was always, I got to get a joke. I got to get a joke now.
You don't always have to be funny.
All you have to do is be entertaining and be engaging and tell funny stories or share, to tell funny stories or share funny moments.
So this episode is dedicated to sharing out of 75 episodes i've kind of boiled down maybe five six
seven uh moments they're really funny or something or a moment where i thought that i was ready to
make a turn in the podcast world and things were about to pop off so this is donna rawlings show by himself with a petty ass executive
production coordinator snorter thank you for pulling up for me heather because nobody else
did i really appreciate it and i noticed this is not you as you say your thing nope you know it's
not your thing at all but that's the test of a true friend,
when you can call them and they show up.
So enough of that mushy shit.
This is one of, I consider one of the funniest moments
on the Donnelly Rollins show.
They lit your ass.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
And I don't want to be all judgy.
No, it's true.
But they lit your ass on fire.
Yeah, because she said that you put shaving cream on it,
then you light it on fire, and the shaving cream...
Don't try this at home.
I'm not saying to do it in case you get burned.
Don't try this nowhere.
Don't try this at the club.
But the shaving cream creates a layer of protection,
and then you're supposed to be able to twerk out the flames
if you do it right.
Man, I don't know.
I done been in some strip clubs, and that twerk wind... You can feel it? No, you don't know. I done been to some strip clubs and that twerk wind.
You can feel it? No, you can smell it.
No!
Shut up! You can not! Yo!
What do you smell? You never been to a joint in Atlanta,
son? Yo, let me explain something. No! Yo!
I'm not going to say, yo, that twerk
wind? Yo,
no, let me understand. Like,
I mean, that twerk wind. never smelled it no you don't know
that twerk wind is usually a combination of febreze and and that twerk wind is febreze
it's a musky febreze it smells like febreze getting out of car that had black ice
that's what twerk wind smell like. And I don't give a fuck.
Excuse me.
I don't care how fine you are when that twerk went in.
Yo, you just turned into the ugliest bitch in that club.
Is that for real?
What, twerk went?
You really didn't smell it.
This is real.
You're not joking around.
You're serious.
So you trying to tell me.
I never smelled it.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You want me to understand. So you've
been to strip clubs before. Yeah. I'm assuming.
Only a couple. You went to and you've never
had a twerk, a twerk
went in. Uh-uh.
They know the twerk went, they know,
they know, they know that twerk
went in. Cause they go back, when
they count their money, they be like, they
ain't shit out there.
We need Fabrice in here. They be like, these broke ass
niggas out here. Uh-uh, bitch.
Your twerk wind is at
knots.
How do you measure wind?
It's knots.
When your twerk wind
is hitting like
40 knots per hour,
take the day off, bitch.
Yo, how much money do you need?
Okay.
All right.
Well, I'm going to try to experience twerk wind next time.
No, I mean, you don't want to experience twerk wind.
I do now just to have said I tried it.
Nah, we should ask George Perez.
He works.
I don't know if you want to try.
I want to smell Twerkwind.
I don't want to be a part of that no more.
I just want to smell it.
I've done that one.
It's so disrespectful.
It's so disrespectful.
I got to try it.
It's like you smell it, you like this.
How dare you?
That'd be a good stripper name, Fabrizzi.
That'd be my stripper name.
What would my stripper name be?
I was a stripper once.
You were not.
Were you really my stripper name. What would my stripper name be? I was a stripper once. You were not. Were you really a stripper?
Why you feel sound so like... Because I can't picture it.
Okay.
I want to see it.
The year of the comeback of the man
and the dominance and the promise
of really putting it down has to come back.
I know sometimes people like this.
Well, I don't know if I can perform at a certain level.
I don't know if I'm ready at a certain time.

I honestly think some of the funniest moments is shit that you don't plan out of nowhere.
We get that belly aching laugh, like black people laugh.
And black people laugh so much different the way, even in my standup, I realize you go, you do a black show and a white show.
Well, white show, I can say it.
Black show and a cracker show, right?
Yeah.
I like the fact that you didn't get offended by that.
You get a black show and a white
show and it's hard to gauge sometimes how funny you think you're coming off in a white crowd because
they laugh show it in their body language they don't white people they this is like i mean
they even point.
That's funny.
You know what I'm saying?
They point.
That's funny.
Or here's the white laugh, too.
When you're so arrogant you can't laugh and shit,
when you look at a motherfucker and they say,
hilarious.
They do.
They do.
Yeah, and there you go.
That was a good moment.
Yo, I'm telling you, that right there.
And then people try to get funky with it.
Hilarious. And black people, I'm telling you, that right there, and then people try to get funky with it. Hilarious.
And black people, I'm telling you, you have to have shoulder pads.
When you laugh, when black people laugh, you have to have shoulder pads, because they slapping, oh.
And then words go from oh shit to oh sit.
Oh sit.
Oh.
You got to grab your stomach. Go ahead and stop. Oh sit. Ah. Old shit. Oh. You got to grab your stuff and go ahead
and stop. Old shit.
Ah. Stop playing.
Stop playing. Stop playing. Stop playing.
Old shit.
That's a hard place to get to.
Only certain comedians
can make you have
an old shit moment.
Yo, nigga, how you just gonna come in on a goddamn
podcast like this?
What level of disrespect do I have on my podcast?
I ain't got no goddamn
guests. Man, I don't got... Come here, man.
Come here, man. Come here, man.
Just come here for a second, man.
Yeah, come all the way through, man.
Just come through, man.
And we got another mic?
We got another mic?
Your socks are dope.
All right, this is what I want to say.
This ain't got nothing to do with me being desperate for a guest.
This ain't got, oh, shit.
This don't have nothing to do, nothing to do with, this, hold on.
This don't have nothing to do with everybody stood me up.
This has everything to do with the level of disrespect
that I've been shown at What The Fuck Studios.
Now I understand what the acronym means, What The Fuck.
Are we not shooting a podcast?
Are we not?
Are we not shooting a podcast? Yes, sir.
There's no sign out there
that says, podcast
in progress, please do not
open the door. No, sir.
And you just
think it's cool just
to bust in on somebody's podcast?
Nothing to do with me not having a guest.
No, as a person who also
podcast. Man, first off, I don't trust black people to point their finger like that first, man.
You act like I'm being used to like, you like, who you talking to?
Why you do your hair like this?
Go ahead.
As a person, go ahead.
As a person who podcasts in the studio frequently.
Podcasts as a podcast personality?
Exactly.
I don't know shit about you.
It's all good, brother.
I'm here to tell you that that happens to me all the time.
And who are you?
I am K.R. Jones of the Off the Strength podcast.
Why your voice changed when you promoted your podcast?
Because it's a professional thing.
Off the Strength.
Off the Strength.
Yes, sir.
So what is Off the Strength?

Of course you can.
How long you been doing it?
Man, it's been three years.
I only been doing my podcast for six months.
You nice.
Nice.
Congrats.
How many subscribers you got?
Man, I don't count that shit.
Yeah, niggas always don't want to hear them numbers.
How many subscribers?
I don't count that shit.
We got, right now, we got 67,000 subscribers.
Okay.
And six weeks ago, and we wasn't even off the strength.
Six weeks ago, we was at 52,000.
Now we're at 67,000.
And guess what?
Nobody ever want to be a guest on my show.
See, that's disrespect right there.
That's way worse than the door.
No. Okay. Curiosity, why did you open there. That's way worse than a door. No, okay.
Curiosity, why did you open the door?
I had to use the bathroom.
See, that's my man Dave right there,
and I knew he was going to give me the key.
And I had respect for the pot.
That's why I came in quietly.
Well, yo, first, stop with the hand shit, man.
That don't like what you like.
Yo, I talk with my hands, man.
This is New York shit.
You know what I mean?
So why did you come in?
Because he had the bathroom key?
Yes, sir.
And you need the bathroom key? Yes, sir. And you need the bathroom key?
Yes, sir.
You didn't know there was going to be a podcast going on, right?
No, no.
I mean, I could hear from the outside.
Obviously, you can hear the podcast as well.
Now you're trying to say I'm a live motherfucker.
I mean, I know who you is, brother.
You know what I'm saying?
Who am I then?
Tell me.
Well, okay.
Because I don't know who you are.
Exactly.
And no disrespect. Tell, I want to know,
who am I as a person
that's on a 75th podcast
blowing your shit
out the water?
Straight up.
Fucking out the water.
I got to travel
with a snorter, nigga.
Boom.
What the fuck
is you talking about?
Just cause, yeah.
No, no,
I'm just saying,
because this is what
I have a hard time understanding.
And Heather, you can contest this.
When we travel out, when we're on the road, we're on a date, whatever, I have a hard time understanding who I am.
Right?
I never connect with Donnie Aranis.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
Or the hoopla or the fanfare of it. So you being the motherfucker that just bum-rushed my podcast
because you had to get the key because you had to take a shit.
I had to take a piss, but who's counting?
You know what I mean?
Counting too.
Get it?
Come on, nigga.
I double snort?
No.
I'm for a person.
Who am I?
I want my listeners to know who am I. Where's your camera? From the outside looking in. Where's your camera, man? I'm for a person. Who am I? I want my listeners to know.
Who am I?
Where's your camera?
From the outside looking in.
Where's your camera, man?
I'm directing this shit.
You don't got a camera?
Yo, how much the fucking money am I paying?
Yo, what?

This is what it is.
Nah, he disrespectful.

Thank you for...
Whoa.
This is the elite right here. I know I'm fucking around.
I know I can tell he nice, because he don't talk a lot.
Oh, not at all.
Yeah, them motherfuckers, the producers, the engineers, talk too much.
It's them and the people that point with their hands and shit.
Yeah, the hands, motherfuckers.
You got a camera, right?
Got it.
And I'm taking a chance on this.
Look directly into that camera right there.
Yes, sir.
I got you.
And tell my listeners that are fucking tuned in to this special episode that I'm showcasing
some of my greatest moments.
Tell those people who I am.
This man right here.
Okay.
Okay.
Before you start, can you do something different with your hands?
There you go.
All right.
Look at that camera and tell these people
that probably don't know
who the fuck is Donnell Rollins.
Donnell Rollins.
This man to my right
is the legendary
comedic actor, if you will,
an evolved man, I will say.
Wait a minute, comedic actor?
How you know I'm an actor?
Nigga, I've seen you in
Chappelle's show.
You've had roles in movies that I've seen.
What roles?
You don't remember the shit I did.
But go ahead.
Continue.
I've seen you in these roles in Evolve Past.
Just a on-camera presence to a podcaster, to a stand-up comedian, to, you know, the
other shit you did with Homie out in the woods and shit.
The white man.
You know what I'm talking about. That was a real ass conversation y'all was having.
Rob Markman Why'd you have to bring that show up, bro?
Rob Markman I'm just-
Rob Markman Out of all the shit that I did-
Rob Markman What show?
Rob Markman Yo, you a sneaky motherfucker, man.
Rob Markman Huh?
Rob Markman Out of all the shit I did, he wanted to talk about-
Rob Markman But that was a real conversation at some point. It was some bullshit that happened, but it was a real conversation.
I respect that.
The show he's talking about is Burt Kreischer's The Cabin.
Yes.
Right?
And I respect what you just said because it's one of those things like, I'm a real motherfucker.
Yeah.
Burt Kreischer.
This is directed to fuck Burt Kreischer.

Theo Vaughn.

Everybody involved in that.
Chris D'Elia.

Flagrant 2, some shit?
Flagrant 2, that Andrew Show shit.
Fuck all that.
Because I call y'all, nobody pull up.
You feel me?
So I'm mad at everybody.
Burt Kreischer, and I'm going to tell you about friendship and what I did for him Bert Kreischer called me one day this
is what he sold to me he said Donnell we're gonna um we're doing this show it's gonna be us men
getting in touch with each other in nature it's gonna be a time for us to uh like like just to
talk and get to know each other so now I was like like, oh man, Bert, you ain't got to, I mean, I respect you.
If you call me, I'm going to be there.
Right.
I'm going to pull up off the strength.
Off the strength.
You shouted your pockets out again.
Of course.
Smart.
The Donair Rollins show.
You want to, you want to shout out me?
Off the strength, the Donair Rollins show.
I'm telling you what it means.
When people ask me what Off the Strip means,
it's moments like this.
Ain't nobody ask you shit about Off the Strip, man.
I'm telling you the story.
You said it earlier.
I was listening to the story.
Who's side are you on?
God damn, man.
This motherfucker been here for a minute.
It got eight snorts.
I've been here for a whole 45 minutes,
one snort.
Fuck that.
I don't trust nobody.
Back to fuck whoever.
All right.
Bert Kreischer called me.
Bert Kreischer says, do the show.
Ba, ba, ba.
It's going to be a time for us to get together.
The person that's supposed to be on the show,
Bill Burr was supposed to be on the show with me.
And me and Bill Burr got a strong history.
I'm like, oh, that'd be great.
I show up to work.
Bill Burr name ain't no motherfucking trailer.
Bobby Lee name is up there.
You put Bobby Lee name on any trailer,
it's just saying it's going to be a naked Asian come out of here.
I go to the house.
That's a given.
You see his name on there.
You know it's up.
Yeah, you know you're going to see his name,
and at some point, he's going to fucking get naked.
So I go to the house where Burt Kreischer is.
I walk in, this motherfucker butt-ass naked on a bare skin rug.
I'm like this.
I got to use all my homophobic terms.
Pause, no homo, fuck out of here.
Y'all can do what y'all want.
I ain't with that shit.
They can two each his own.
You know what I'm saying?
That's the new homophobic phrase.
I mean, we've evolved.
We've evolved.
Even on a homophobic conversation, we evolved from like, fuck out of here.
That shit is gay.
Yeah. homophobic conversation, we evolved from like, fuck out of that shit is gay. Now that we speak like, I mean, I ain't knocking what nobody do to each his own.
And that's the evolution I was talking about.
That's the thing, but white boys, they love to do tea bags.
Push that envelope and shit.
They love to push that.
When I was doing Geico, I'm like, why the fuck they got to call this shit Geico?
They should call this shit Gay Code now.
Everything they did was like, yeah, then you can grab his balls and his balls can...
I'm like, nah, get out of here.
But you said something, a part of that show, that I really appreciate that show.
They did a lot of white boy, frat boy antics and shit like that.
But it was that moment.
And you're talking about when we were in the kitchen.
Yes.
And we were talking about fatherhood.
And Bobby Lee was talking about his relationship he had with his dad.
Yep.
And I'm talking about the relationship I did or didn't have with my dad.
Not in a negative way, just because of absence.
Yeah.
And that absence of, I don't know.
But he was in the streets, though, you said. There it is. He was real, you know? Oh, shit. And that absence of, I don't think... But he was in the streets though,
you said.
There it is.
He was real, you know?
Oh, shit.
And I'm from Baltimore originally.
Baltimore.
Yeah, so that D.C., Baltimore,
it's fake beef,
but like, you know the real.
And you can see through it.
You know what the funny thing
about the D.C., Baltimore beef?
It only exists in that area.
It's localized.
And it's for small-minded people.
Yes, sir.
And when I say that,
you think like,
it's like, for the most part Yes, sir. And when I say that, you think, like, it's, like,
for the most part, everybody talk close to the same. You
won't really hear that until you start going to different places.
Yes. So I say small-minded because
there's so much other world.
There's so much other country.
There's so much other shit
to do. You're like, are we really
beefing with somebody that lives two blocks
away? Are we that different from somebody that lives two blocks away?
You're not.
It's the same mentality.
And until you move, this is why I encourage everybody to travel.
Until you move on, take your brain, take your mind, your body somewhere else to see other things,
you'll still have the small mentality of, we beef with these
motherfuckers.
I didn't even know I was country until I moved to New York.
Rob Markman, Jr.: Until you left and somebody said it and called you out.
They said it, right?
Rob Markman, Jr.: Yeah.
For me, they was like, two and you and you.
I'm telling you, you'll work on your diction when you go somewhere away from your normal
surroundings.
I moved to New York and they kept on calling me, hey, what's up, country boy, country ass motherfucker?
And I was like, why y'all say that?
And there's your answer.
And them same folks will say that D.C. and Baltimore ain't the South,
but they'll say it is, but call you country.
They were country, but anybody, or as they call it up here, up north,
anything past New Jersey, that's country.
And then if you really look at it,
it really is country. But
you ask those same people in New York, I ain't country.
Word to mother. You're like, where do y'all
have y'all family reunions?
In North Carolina?
In South Carolina? Every
motherfucker I know that's Brooklyn, Brownsville, Never
Ran, Never Will, they got aunties
and grannies that are down south.
That's where they go. That's the first place that we travel to to call ourselves stretching out now selfishly i got one question
for you no we can't you know come on man it's off the strength of course all right so this is the
good shit that i'm talking about are you doing other shit no this is this is the good shit i'm
talking about i said you are evolved man right and I'm a dilf, no homo.
But my question to you is, what's it like being successful in the shadow of someone who is considered an icon, right?
Because I think about like a Pippin and a Jordan.
First off, man, I don't even want to hear this motherfucking dumbass question he just
asked me.
How's that dumbass question?
Why you put me in the shadow?
I'm saying because it's hard to
eclipse a
generational fucking talent.
No, but why you had to say shadow though?
Shadow because that's what most people
try to cast those people.
You get what I'm saying?
So you say I'm in the shadow of Dave Chappelle?
I'm not saying you're in the shadow of Dave Chappelle.
I'm saying what is it like to be perceived in that?
That's what you're trying to say. I'm in the shadow of Dave Chappelle. I'm not saying you're in the shadow of Dave Chappelle. I'm saying what is it like to be perceived in that? Oh, so you're trying to say I'm in the shadow of Dave Chappelle.
I'm not saying you're in the shadow, brother.
I'm saying-
That's what you said.
I'm speaking from somebody-
Man, I ain't got time to talk about no goddamn Dave Chappelle.
It's not about him.
It's about you.
I want to talk about 75 fucking episodes.
I'm talking about you.
Man, you the most fucking wrongest ass got-
I don't even know how he got on this show.
I don't want to talk about that.
You hear what these fuckies said?
How does it feel like being in the shadow of such an iconic, the GOAT, and then it's you?
I said being successful in the shadow.
That was the question.
I said, what is that like?
Because it's a difference when people try to compare you.
Do I have an issue with my anger?
You didn't let me finish my list
earlier. You had a list?
You really had a list of the things why I'm impatient?
Get your list together.
And in the shadow, here we
go. Successful.
Okay. I want to take time
in this episode
was supposed to be
about me, funny clips,
funny moments,
and my 75-episode career.
So let's go to that.
You ain't leaving me with that. You fucked it up.
You ain't leaving me with that.

because again at a show

but when you see Gayle King you think you're
about to be Oprah
you know what I'm saying you're like this no not that think you're about to be Oprah. You know what I'm saying? You're like this.
If I make the right impression,
I know
they could be having some wine or something
and my name could pop up.
Right? I'm just like this. I just want my name
to pop up around Oprah, right? That's it.
And I swear, I knew
I would smash this show.
I smashed this show
and we were at this little restaurant right beside it getting little bites
before we do a party.
I smashed this motherfucking show.
And Gayle King sat beside me.
She said, what's up, Donnie?
I was like, what's up, Oprah friend?
No, I didn't say that.
But in no disrespect, I was like, what's up, Oprah friend?
Because that's what a lot of people say.
You know, it was just like, she got her name now, but before, just like Eddie Murphy's brother, Charlie Murphy.
You got to be a platform for it.
Get your own shit.
I was like, what's up, Oprah, friend?
And we talking, right?
And then she was like, boy, you were funny.
She's so sweet.
She's like, boy, you were so funny.

So you see me in a preacher outfit with Tim's or right and up there, right?
It's like it did she said what is this right here, right?
And I knew it was the same bitch organization, right? I said to her I said Gail. Let me explain my platform
This is true story. I said Gil. Let me explain my platform this is a true story i said gail let me
explain my platform she said what does this seem like i said well i started a foundation for some
women that may need help i said gail because i believe that women at certain time in their life
they have temptation and salvation depending on who comes in their life it would dictate where
it goes more the temptation side or salvation
meaning somebody somebody that influences them uh inspires them and motivates them it could go
either way pimp preacher you go either side basically she was like oh i like that i was
like yeah and she was like i really like that i was like yeah what it what it is is to empower women. This is what I'm telling her. She was like, I like that.
Right?
And then she said, what's the name of it?
She said, what's the name of it?
And I said, first off, Oprah's friend, first I want to tell you that I use words to evoke a certain emotion.
I'm trying to warn.
I'm like, I use words that will be challenging to some people's ears,
but they evoke emotion, and then you build dialogue off of that.
She said, what's the name of it?
I said, it's called savingbitch.com, right?
And she said, no she looked at me i was like oh i ain't gonna meet over bitch
i ain't gonna never meet over
all right so
to answer your question how does it feel to be a nobody in the shadow of greatness
i said successful brother um question, how does it feel to be a nobody in the shadow of greatness?
I said successful, brother.
It feels good.
And it also, the thing that feels good about it, because not my entire career, but like I was a part of a show that was in television history.
You weren't a part.
You were impacted. Everybody knows who Ashley Larry was. Like those moments You weren't a part. You were impacted.
Everybody knows who Ashley Larry was.
Like, those moments can't be taken away.
That's some shit that Dave couldn't do.
Right?
So that's legendary in itself.
So you weren't a part of.
You stole every scene you were in.
And that's what I'm saying.
Like, to be successful in that,
what does that feel like?
To answer your question,
it feels good because I know that someone's presence and someone's greatness could overshadow the greatness that you think you have or you have.
It's like people will be like, oh, man, this one for funny, he okay.
But I think it's a testament of my work ethics, how hard I go, and I don't get distracted by anything.
I've heard people say, if it wasn't for the Chappelle show, he wouldn't be anything.
I've heard that dumb shit.
And I tell them, going back to what you said, it was a team that made that show successful.
I wasn't hired as a cast member of that show.
I just happened to do funny stuff.
Rob Markman, And you improv some of it too.
90%.
Rob Markman, That's what I'm saying.
90%.
That's a talent right there.
Yeah.
But I feel I can hold my own.
I can hold my own with any comedic talent.
That's not cocky.
It's true.
And I'm not talking about...
And then when I say comedic talent,
like, I don't mean, like,
in comedy sketches and funny movies.
And the way I gauge, me personally,
the thing I give a fuck about the most is my stand-up.
Who made the potato salad?
Who made that potato salad? See Markman Who made that potato salad?
Rob Markman See, I watched that shit, man.
Rob Markman I want to apologize for talking to you about
going to take a shit, man.
Rob Markman I'm a true fan.
Honestly, I wouldn't even-
Rob Markman I didn't even know that.
And obviously, man, I might need some, I might need to see, do I need a therapist?
Probably would help.
Why would it help?
It's always good to talk to somebody.
I talk to you.
I talk to 40.
I talk to Jose.
I talk to Julius.
I talk to enough people.
Why I got to pay somebody to talk?
Well, because you don't talk to us about everything.
I talk to 40 about everything.
I talk to 40 about everything.
You better start paying 40. No, I'm just saying. That's why, man. I talked to 40 about everything. You better start paying 40.
No, I'm just saying.
That's why, man.
I know, man.
Boy.
Man, if I go first between me and 40.
Yo, I'm like, boy.
I mean, that nigga going to miss me.
But he going to be like, yo, let me tell y'all something.
He going to tell the best.
Yo, nigga, tell y'all something.
He going to tell the story.
He need to be on this couch. Yo, 40 come up. But 40 be like, yo, let me tell y'all something. He gon' tell the best. Yo, nigga, tell y'all something. He gon' tell the story. He need to be on this couch.
Yo, before he come up, before he be like, he'll be talking, he be like, he'll talk shit.
And like, yo, son, let me get on that motherfucking spit, my shit.
Then y'all gon' see what a real podcast.
And then when I call him up, he be like this, uh, we ready to go?
Where do we do that, LA?
And all of us just sat there and didn't talk?
They talk all that.
They always say, yo, let me get five minutes, son.
It's different when the lights and cameras on you.
It's a completely different atmosphere.
It is a big difference.
But that's why as much as I love stand up, which I do, I'm starting to find my lane in
the podcast where I'm starting to understand that you don't have to be funny every second.
Let the conversation come to you.
And sometimes some of the funniest
or the most intriguing moments
come when you don't expect it. And again,
this is the 75th
episode of the Don Air Rollin' Show.
And what I'm doing is I'm sharing
clips and I'm sharing moments that meant
a lot to me. Check this out.
Right? Sometimes you have technical difficulties,
but when you're an improv master like myself,
you don't give a fuck.
Worst thing to do is every producer that says,
are we ready?
And then we're ready.
This nigga isn't ready.
That's why I got something special for his ass.
This episode.
Fuck with me.
You get blasted.
Ha ha.
A lot of people say,
Donna,
what do you got?
This is an assault weapon.
And I assault...
Fall back.
Don't shoot me.
All right.
This is another episode of the Donnell Rawlings Show
and the world's greatest place to spend a pandemic summer,
Yellow Springs, Ohio.
I know you're asking yourself, Donnell,
what is all that shit you got on right now?
I'll explain it.
I'm a motherfucking river ninja.
Okay?
Why your nose so big on that?
It's like so spread.
So I can smell the bullshit that's coming out of your mouth.
Ow!
It's getting to me!
It says, don't point it, people. What the fuck is wrong with you? It's in the fucking face. Oh, it's kicking me! that's not the first time you had salt in your mouth
okay so that was actually funny all my is funny don't do that everybody know this is the gear of a rainbow ninja and also this is the gear as a person that's selling merchandise if you look
over to my left that's the hot river ninja shirt and left, that's the hot River Ninja shirt. And over there, that's the hot hoodie.
And right here, these are masks that we're
going to sell. We got a lot of Jews in the house
tonight, so they're going to tell us what's going to be our best
price point and how we can make more
money. Don't forget the Yellow Springs candle.
The Yellow Springs candle. Okay.
You know what? I'm giving up a lot of information, right?
A lot of free publicity.
I fell in love with this.
Come on.

This episode is all about podcasts.
So you being a podcaster, this is a question
I get from everybody on my line of work
with stand-up comedy.
If you had any advice for
a person that was coming up that wants to do stand-up comedy. If you had any advice for a person that was coming,
that wants to do stand-up,
what would you give them?
I've already,
on so many platforms,
explained the advice
I would give them.
But you being a podcaster yourself,
what advice would you give somebody
that's starting podcasts
for the first time?
I would say make sure you have a...
Man, yo, man,
this motherfucking building, man.
What the fuck is wrong with this building, son?
I know they're doing a construction, but did anybody tell me about construction?
That's nuts.
When I called Weezy and I said, I need the time, she was like, oh man, it's in a quiet
location.
It's distractions.
I said, but I have an issue with people walking in on my shows getting keys to go shit.
And she said, don't worry about it.
We have so many bathrooms. We'll leave the shit key on the outside that would make sense right
that's right here and now that i come in here and and and i hear jackhammers it's clearly mexicans
chinese that was racist heather it was chinese people don't fuck with jackhammers. They were.
We passed the floor.
Chopsticks.
Is that racist?
It's getting worse.
Guess what?
It doesn't matter because this is what a podcast is about.
A podcast is about nobody telling you what you can do, what you can say,
how you need to talk,
how you need to walk.
It's like,
I'm going to say,
feel what I want to say.
Yeah.
And you come and fuck with me.
That's why when you subscribe,
you're subscribing to something that you want to enjoy.
And you can't fire me.
Can I,
can I?
Now to answer your question.
Yes.
I would say,
focus,
make sure you have a message, right? Now to answer your question Yes I would say Make sure
You have a message
Right
Cause it's a lot of motherfuckers
That get on a microphone
And don't have a message
And just because you have a microphone
Doesn't mean you have a message
Right
So you can go back to any of my podcasts
I'm leaving you with some type of information
Man here you go
Talking about your goddamn podcast again
But that's
But it has to have
What else do you want, son?
Nigga.
I'm just saying, man.
I know you're just saying.
How did this
75th
anniversary
Yeah, for sure.
Congrats to that.
about me
and now all we keep talking about
is on the strength.
Off the strength.
Off the strength.
Are you letting me come sit on this couch
with you for 75, man?
Not for nothing.
That's an accomplishment of consistency.
All right, first off,
I didn't book you.
You didn't.
You can throw me out anytime.
That's why I'm appreciative here.
No, I didn't.
You make it seem like, yo, man I found, yeah, no, I just,
you came in.
Rob Markman, I interrupted.
You interrupted with the shit key.
Rob Markman, It's like they know you here because it's subtle too.
It's not like- This is supposed to be yo man
that's craziness here's the fucking thing about this this is supposed to have been symbolic
this was been monumental this was like oh my god balloons and champagne and shit and what i thought
was supposed to be a tribute to some of the podcasts in the moments, it turned into a whole fuck Donnell Rollins and the Donnell Rollins show episode.
Is that fair to me?
Now, moving from that and speaking to you again, I happen to be watching HBO shit about magic.
And I happen to see you in there in a little cameo.
You know what I'm saying?
And the cool black dads at the cookout shit, man.
How did that role feel?
Okay, I will say this.
Your line of question is so disrespectful.
First off, let me just let me know.
Yo, I'm highlighting you.
You highlight me, but you shitting on me. How am I shitting on you?
You said.
Am I the only person listening to this?
The little cameo?
That's a role.
No, no.
Nigga, lure.
I'm from B-more. You know that side. Nigga, lure. I'm from BMO.
You know that side.
I know lure and I know what it mean.
Fuck you talking about.
I know what lure mean.
From a motherfucker from the DMV.
You said, yeah, I'm from BMO.
That's how we say it.
Yes, I know what that mean.
Your lure.
I saw your lure.
I saw your lure Lamborghini.
I ain't got no fucking Lamborghini.
I know, but I'm saying, Lord, this is how disrespectful you are.
How the fuck did he get on my show?
Whoa, whoa, I say that because it was a quick scene,
and I recognize you in that scene.
See, man, see, man.
It wasn't like-
I don't want to ever work in this studio again.
You didn't have to say quick scene.
You didn't have to say you're Lord.
All you had to do was say, I saw you
in HBO's The Winning Time.
There we go.
And the same way you did earlier, the first level of disrespect you did, when you said,
you said, what was the disrespect, Heather? He said, shadow.
In the shadow of David.
How does it feel to be successful?
Let me put all your hate in one sentence. How does it feel to be in the shadow of a superstar
and you doing little roles on HBO?
Little quick clips.
Quick clips.
Okay.
I'm excited about that.
It looked dope.
It is dope.
It's a dope show.
That's what I'm saying.
Shout out to Adam McKay.
Shout out to Rodney Barnes.
Shout out to Jonah Hill.
Shout out to everybody that made this show possible.
It's a show on HBO, and it's based on a book called Showtime.
I forget the author name of it.
I should know more of this.
But they took this book and made it into a series.
And the series is about the time when the Lakers really started to build the dynasty.
From when, I don't know who was a team owner before Jerry Buss,
but it shows you, takes you back to what Jerry Buss did.
Yes.
And what he had to go through to make the Lakers a dynasty.
Yes.
And when you think about it, it's a comedy.
But when you think about the story, for some reason,
there's a lot of, it's good times about the Lakers and the Magic Johnson era, but some of it is kind of dark, too.
Of course.
So you ask yourself, how can you make a comedy about the success of the Lakers and everything that was going on in that organization?
They did a fantastic job.
But that's what comedy is.
Yeah, but if you tell some people,, oh yeah, watch this show on HBO.
It's called The Winning Time.
And it's about the Lakers. I don't think
anybody's going to expect what they get.
And as much as
Magic Johnson was a part
of the dynasty, as much
as
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
was,
for me, watching the show,
the most interesting character to me is Jerry Buss.
For sure.
That story.
He's a people person.
He's so dynamic because he was poor.
He was a freak too, son.
All of your brothers.
Yo, they fucking in this show.
I believe it.
It's only two of them out,
but in that two, I'm like, oh yeah,
they about to turn up.
In the opening scene, it was like somebody was deep sea diving on somebody.
Facts.
That was definitely-
I think Jerry Buss, his character, what's the guy?
White guy.
He was a coach in the Lakers back then.
Jerry West?
Yes.
Jerry West.
Nobody knew.
I like the fact that they're capturing these people's personalities.
How they act, what they were upset about and everything.
You're like, what's the logo going to do for me?
I ain't winning shit.
Like, yeah.
Another thing people don't understand was that when he got the Lakers,
I think it was some possibility of the NBA going out of business.
They was on the way out.
The NBA was like, what are we going to do, this league and everything?
And he had to think, okay, I got this team.
And the way he moved money around with his properties and everything,
and he made this damn deal.
$60 million deal, $75 million deal,
and only had $122,000 in the bank.
And he put it all together.
Now I got this team.
What do I do about it?
How do I make it exciting?
Let's make it sexy.
Yeah.
The Lakers dancers.
Showtime, Paula Abdul.
Paula Abdul, one of the first owners
that showed the cheerleaders being sexy.
Yeah.
I mean, it shouldn't get you, well, it don't get you in trouble now, but that dynamic of it was cool.
And then, you know, understanding how Magic Johnson was very serious about getting money equivalent to Larry Bird.
That was a big thing.
And the relationship with his father.
And I played one of his father's friends on the show.
Myself, Joe, Epitone, and Earthquake.
That's the little crew.
Rob Markman I saw.
But that's a dynamic cast in itself.
And when I saw that-
Rob Markman It resonated because his father is a dynamic
character.
He's the closest that I've seen-
Rob Markman Man, now you're trying to take on my show.
You ain't hosting the show.
It's still my show, man.
Man 2 I'm not hosting, baby. My bad. I was giving you flowers, man. Rob Markman, Jr.: Man, now you're trying to take up my show. You ain't hosting the show. It's still my show, man. I'm not hosting, baby.
My bad.
I was giving you flowers, man.
Rob Markman, Jr.: This was... You see what he just did now?
I'm giving you flowers because you're going to die soon.
Nah, never.
Never.
See, that's a bad connotation right there.
Black men can give flowers before death.
Man, I'm not taking a picture with you.
I'm not taking a picture with you because you're not going to put me in your RIP photo.
It's the only reason my fucker take pictures.
I was just with him.
Oh, this one, hurry.
Oh, man, why did he take the good ones?
I'm so sick of those posts.
I hope you up in heaven.
I know you're looking down on us.
Oh, God, I know you're looking down on us.
I be up there, sir, resting paradise, king.
I know you're looking down on us.
Some of them niggas ain't looking down.
Fact.
Some niggas looking up at motherfuckers.
Fact.
Everybody, man.
Just because you say enjoy having it,
that don't mean motherfuckers is going.
Am I an evil person by saying that?
I mean, I know motherfuckers.
I know motherfuckers like notorious.
Yeah, you going to heaven?
How do you redeem yourself?
How do you do?
Anybody know the answer to that?
How do you do fucked up shit in your life and still make it to heaven
there's gotta be some type of religious answer to that
I'm not the one to answer that one
you get saved
I'm not religious
I see a lot of freaky chicks trying to get saved
act like it go away
yeah like come on Nana
you know
Nana we know
that's like trying to be like a reborn virgin again
you grow out of it
ain't no such thing as a reborn virgin.
Right.
Just like you can't be saved after you do that.
Oh, that's what I hate doing.
Women be talking like this.
Uh-uh.
I'm not doing it.
I'm a virgin now.
Uh-uh.
I'm celibate.
Did I pronounce the word right?
Yeah.
Celibate.
Celibacy.
Yep.
Celibate here, celibate there.
Yeah.
Celibate everything. I don't understand.
And I think this is a perfect moment
to go to one of those moments and one of those clips

because it wasn't like people look at our lives like,
oh, y'all turn up, there's bitches everywhere.
There's always going to be bitches around, whatever.
But for me, that experience with him, with his entire family,
me with my entire family,
the whole family structure thing for me was new.
And everybody was close and we was all there,
family having a good time.
That was a very memorable moment that I had with Dave.
That I'll never forget.
Yay.
So you don't want to be on my show no more?
Of course I want to be on your show.
I'm just-

Rob Markman.

Go ahead.
You can leave.
I'm good.
You know what I'm saying?
Rob Markman.
All right.
Thank you.

Rob Markman.
Thank you for being... You just said I'm on the clock.
I was making a statement.
Rob Markman.
Anybody tripping about your clock or your little job?
Your little job?
All right.
You can leave, son.
Bet.
I didn't know if he was going to exit me out or nothing. Yo, I appreciate the conversation.
Come on, brother. 75, man. Appreciate it.
You be cool like how you be cool, right?
I can't believe that my 75th episode of this podcast, a motherfucker just bum rushed my shit.
No security.
I don't got no security.
This is like twice in one weekend we've discussed this.
About me having no security?
Yeah.
Because I did.
It's not yesterday.
You said I should do security.
And I don't want to.
Because I think once you start hanging around security,
people want to come at you before that.
I do.
You are absolutely right.
I don't really understand my celebrity.
I don't connect with it.
I don't know.
I mean, I got got this weekend.
Yeah, what happened yesterday was pretty thorough.
So this is how they got me.
You know at the shows, when you go to shows, they have those guys want you to sign like whatever film or joint.
You know, what do they call it?
They want your autograph.
I know, but they have a name.
They just, they want autographs.
They, memorabilia,s they memorabilia
they collect memorabilia
and they
sell it
eBay whatever
so
I'm in my hotel room
in Philly
and
I get a phone call
in the hotel room
which was
alarming because
nobody ever calls
the hotel room
unless
you're fucking really loud
or there's smoke coming from there.
Only time hotel phones ever ring.
So phone rings.
Hey, Donnell.
It's Pete from the club.
I'm like, what's up?
I'm going to come pick you up.
I've been walking to the club. I was up. I've been walking to the club.
I was like, I've been walking to the club.
Yeah, but we're expecting a lot of rain.
I was like, oh, good looking.
That makes sense.
What time you want to meet me?
I said, I'll come down at 720.
Right?
720.
I go downstairs, outside, and I don't see anybody.
I'm like, why the fuck would the clubs say they're going to come pick me up?
And don't come pick me up.
It ain't even raining out this bitch.
Fuck it.
It was a short distance.
I don't have a problem with walking.
It was like less than a block.
So I go outside, no
car left, right, no car.
And then they call me, hey Donnell, what's your ETA?
I said, I thought Pete was supposed to pick me up.
They said, who's Pete?
And what happened when I
was walking to the club,
the guys,
a guy that had these
posters of Disney's
soul. Hey, Donnell,
could you sign these for me? And he had a little kid
with him. He was like, you mind taking a picture
with my son? He's a big fan. Sign this one, sign this one.
I get to the clubhouse, I was like, whatever happened
to Pete? They was like, who the fuck is Pete?
I'm like, god damn, that
motherfucker got me.
And it made me nervous, because I was like, that could have been
a hit.
Could have been serious.
Yeah, but who wants to hurt
a ashy motherfucker?
What world are we living in
where you want to hurt
somebody that's trying?
Who wants to beat up the comedian?
Who wants to hurt the comedian?
You're a foul person.
If you want to hurt a comedian, you're a foul person. If you want to hurt a comedian,
you're a foul person.
Kanye, just stop it.
Leave Pete alone.
Deal with the issues you have with your wife
behind closed doors or in a private situation,
but leave Pete alone
because comedians can fucking hurt you.
What you think is a... alone because comedians can fucking hurt you.
What you think is a
moment when you get at a motherfucker,
you don't want it
from a comedian.
They create moments
all the time. Live for funny shit.
Same way
I live
to play this
clip.

And I'll tell you, this is the reason why.
Like, I was introducing him. I didn't know
who he was. I know he was coming up.
But, you know, one of my favorite artists is Life
Jennings, right? And then, this
is what it connects with.
He reminded me so much of life jennings

when he first started one of the things that got him popping was he did a cover of life jennings
song i love this shit no um must be nice he did it and i was like and then i understood what the connection was
you know had i not that connection i would have never caught the nigga
you would have caught him still i wouldn't have caught him i wouldn't have caught him
you wouldn't let nobody fall yo i wouldn't yo but it was just so ironic i'm like damn
this gonna fit like i was just like you gonna tear my ass up with this shit. So another very exciting episode of the Don Air Rollins Show.
This was a very, very, very exciting milestone show.
It's hard to do 75 anything.
It's hard to do 75 push-ups.
It's hard to do 75 strokes.
And it's definitely hard to do 75 episodes.
But I think I'm on to something.
Shout out to my girl Nikki.
She couldn't be here.
Shout out to everybody that's made this, uh, the
Don A. Rollins show one of the
best podcasts
you didn't think you wanted to see.
Until next time, remember,
a joke can be too soon, but it never
can be too soon for a funny observation.
Take it out of the face.
Bye.はいはいはい
はいはいはい Bye.
