You don't sound too confident. Hello, who's this? What's up, man? This is Y4 on 1K, man. What's up?

Get it off your chest. You already know, man. I'm mad because, like, I feel like people that have, like, true talent is being overshadowed by so much bad music being put out that it's hard for people like that, real talent and real superstars to come out. Like, it's been my dream to come on Breakfast Club to get an interview. And there ain't no doubt in my mind that I'm going to be there one day to sit down in front of you guys and talk about what I got going on. And if you don't believe me, all you gotta do is go look at my video when you get a chance. Well, let's hear something right now

since you on and millions of people are listening. Oh, God. What you want me to drop something? Yes, hurry up. Turn it back on. Boo! Why you say it back on there? Boo! You can't be so critical. If you don't believe me, talk to me.

All you got to do is go look at my video on YouTube. Y4 and 1K, all gas, no brakes. If you don't like it, I don't want to hear out no more. I'm going to be honest with you. You need some brakes. Y4 and 1K, all gas, no brakes. If you don't like it, I won't rap no more. I don't like what you said just now. That first ball was shaking. Shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking.

Give him a shot. It might have just been the first ball. Hello, who's this? Hello. Hey, what's your name, mama? It's Jade. Hey Shaker, Shaker, Shaker. Give him a shot. It might have just been the first ball. Hello, who's this? Hello. Hey, what's your name, mama? It's Jade. Hey, Jade, get it off your chest. Well, first of all, I'm from Detroit. Shout out to Detroit, but I live in Houston now. What up, Doe? What up, Doe?

But I live in Houston now. Traffic is nuts. About two days ago, I don't know, it was about three, four o'clock in the afternoon, I ended up on the side of the road. Had to wait for a tow truck to come get me. Paid $70. They took me to a 24-hour discount tire shop. So I got a tire. I was good to go. I paid $50 for it.

The next day, do you know the exact same thing happened to me? Damn. Oh my gosh. Again, the same tire on the same side popped. What kind of car? I have a 2014 TSO. Was this in Houston Again, the same tire on the same side popped. What kind of car? I have a 2014 TSO.

Was this in Houston or in Detroit? Houston. In Houston. I'm sorry. The same thing happened to me. I don't know why I even bought this car, but I had a Jaguar, and literally every three, four months, I had to get the same tire replaced. It would just bust flat all the time. Okay, Charlamagne, your little humble brag.

We didn't have to know about the tire. Yeah, right. And guess what? And guess what I did? I took that car right back. Because that's what happens when you go chasing waterfalls and you need to stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's T calling from the sea. Hey, Mama, get it off your chest. I'm mad because I hate when you

have a personal friend and you guys have an issue. And instead of them calling you, they put it out on Facebook. It just makes me so mad. Yeah, that's funny. That is true. Yeah, that's kind of corny. Pick up the phone and call me if we really cool, bro. Exactly.

I woke up this morning to a Facebook status about me. Like, why didn't you just call me? You've been my best friend for 15 years. But you sure you're not being sensitive? I know sometimes people see Facebook posts like, I know they talk about me, but it ain't really about you. Was it subliminal? Yeah, it was.

So maybe it's not even about you. It might not be about you. I'm her only bestie. I will say this. The subliminals you think are about you say a lot about you. That's true. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

What's up, my brother? That's what they say. First of all, how can you say that? What are you talking about? If you say everybody wants what they can't have and then you throw out your Instagram, you know what I'm going to do? I'm not going to follow your Instagram.

But he said he wants you to go and see if you've seen her, would you holler? Exactly, because you know if I see her and I try to holler and she don't want me, I'm going to waste my time, you feel me? What are you talking about? It's girls that he want to marry. Like, you a weirdo.

He can't be getting knock-out. And your headline trash, bro. Oh, here's his girl right here. That's her. You ain't tag her, though. Happy New Year. That's my baby. Got fat ass.

Oh, my goodness. You know what? I know. He said, I know. I mean, she look like money. You sitting here with anybody else thinking about your girl. It should be what you think, bro. That's my baby, yo.

Don't get twisted. I'm married, son. But just if I was a hypothetical speaking. What's wrong with you? You should worry about what somebody else think about your girl. He wants to know if we think he's attractive. I know my wife is fine, but she's bad. Salute to Lady J.

You want to know if we think you're attractive. Not them, but you. Listen, y'all make a nice Dominican couple, man. There you go. First of all, I'm not Dominican, son. What are you? I'm a mixed breed. I'm a mutt.

Don't call yourself a mutt. You look Dominican. You got on white jeans and white pictures. I don't look Dominican, but I'm a mutt, son. I'm a mutt. Don't call yourself a mutt. You look Dominican. You got on white jeans and white pictures. No, I look Dominican, but I'm a mutt, sir. I'm a mutt. So, Yee, what do you think? Is this guy attractive or no? He's making a Chinese.

He says she'll pass. Yeah, he's a good-looking guy, man. You and your wife are both beautiful, so congratulations to y'all. Now, what you get out of that? What do you get out of that? Salute to Dominican love, man. You know what? I can't.

You're a nice little night out at Dave and Buster's. You know what I'm saying? Hello, who's this? Hello? Can't hear love, man. You know what? I can't wait. You're a nice little night out at Dave and Buster's. You know what I'm saying? Hello, who's this? Hello? Can't hear you, bro. Take the phone out of your throat. Uh-oh. There you go. You're yelling at me.

Now, what you was saying? It's me, Butterfly from Basie. I was going to tell you I'm blessed because I woke up this morning. Butterfly. Butterfly from Basie. Go ahead, mama. I miss you, Butterfly. You don't be calling us no more.

What's up with that? I know. My phone. And I be working a lot. And let me tell you, I'm blessed because I woke be calling us no more. What's up with that? I know. My phone. And I be working a lot. And let me tell you, I'm blessed because I woke up with y'all. But I'm there. I dropped my phone. Look at yourself.

Oh, wait. I'm on the phone. Call me. Hello? I'm right here, baby. All right. Wait. They taking the phone from me.

I woke them up. All right. I'm going to talk a little lower. All right. What's happening? Hello? Who's taking your phone? Butterfly. Where you at, Butterfly? An orphanage? No. What's happening? Hello? Who's checking your phone? Butterfly.

Where you at, Butterfly? An orphanage? No. Halfway house? All right, all right. Give me what you don't get is, please don't. Butterfly, I don't know what's going on here. Have a blessed day, baby.

My goodness. I don't know where Butterfly at when she don't got no phone privileges. And she don't have a good whisper voice either. Not at all. Hell no. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good either. Not at all. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, you know, every Wednesday and Thursday we do Ask Yee. And sometimes, you know, people call, people DM, and people email. And Yee got a very interesting email. Yes.

She wants to know know what degree does a man with poor texting grammar turn you off? Assuming everything else about him is great, how much would it matter? My grammar isn't exactly perfect, but damn, this guy I've recently started talking to seems super cool but his texting is a huge turn off. He says here when he means here, there

when it should be there and never bothers to use any kind of punctuation. How important is the use of proper grammar when texting? Well, I say thank God that I'm married because my grandma, not grandma, but grandma, is horrible. Like, I don't use punctuations. I use the wrong here, there. You know, I'm always doing a million and one things,

and I just text and keep it moving. It's amazing, though, because smartphones are supposed to be smart, and they're supposed to be smarter than us, but they're not because they still let all of these bad grammar and stuff fly. I know I'm no good at it. I'm no good at grammar. I'm no good at punctuation and all of that kind of stuff. Me neither. And by the way, it shouldn't really matter because I'm not sitting there writing

a book on my phone. You know what I'm trying to say. We just, that's why I like, I don't even think you should have long text messages. Everybody need to get away from those long text threads, man. Pick up the phone and call the person you really want to talk to. Well, I do feel like people should make an effort to at least do things properly. Like, I know

it's not always going to be correct. Sometimes I send out things with a little mistake in it, but I think if it's consistently all kinds of mistakes, if you work for me and you send out a text message and there's all kinds of errors, that would bother me. And if you sent me text messages with all kinds of errors, I would probably have to say something

like, hey, why do you text like that? Sometimes people purposely spell things wrong, like they'll write dis instead of dis, or you know, it's weird. Like, I don't understand why we do that. We grown. So I do feel like it's important to try to instill that, and especially when you're trying to make an impression early on. Now, I actually spoke to John Legend on

Lip Service, which is out right now, about this, and here's what he had to say. These are pet peeves to me. I wouldn't be able to do it with somebody I was dating. It's crazy because Chrissy's a really good texter. She is. As people know from her tweeting, she's, like, clever and everything. And she's not always strict with grammar, but she's intentional with her grammar.

Right. As long as you know the rules. Yeah, she has her own rules, and she does it for effect more than because she doesn't know the grammar. And so that's part of how I fell in love with her was just our banter on text was really good. And if somebody was texting me like that, and their spelling was all over the place, and their grammar was all over the place, I'd be like, no, I couldn't do it. Okay, well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? It's Crystal from Jacksonville, Florida.

Hey, Envy. Hey, D.A. Hey, Charlamagne. the phone lines. Hello, who's this? It's Crystal from Jacksonville, Florida. Hey, Envy. Hey, Deidre. Hey, Charlamagne. Hey, Angela. Hey, Crystal. Now, how important is grammar when it comes to somebody you're dating or that you're with? It is very important, especially when you're just meeting somebody. It's such a turn off to read a text message and you have to sit here and try to digest it

and figure out what they're talking about. I will definitely block you if you can't spell things right. Whoa. You don't block somebody. Damn. My biggest one is when people are trying to say I know how to do this and they spell no N-O. It's so simple. And you're forcing your

autocorrect to spell things wrong now because you're not even letting them do the right word. You're X-ing it out and doing the wrong word. So it's just, it doesn't take nothing but two seconds to learn how to sell something. And I'm the king of I know. I'm like I-N-O, I-N-O.

I just, I don't know. I-N-O. It's better I know, I-K-N-O-W. I just do I know. This is easier, especially when you're doing a million and one things. Hello, who's this? This your boy D from the Bronx. What's going on?

Oh, I know. I can tell your grandma's all over the place, bro. You already. You already. It's good, though. You already. You already. Hey, look, as far as my relationship go, you know, me and my wife, we laugh at things

like that. That's good for the relationship. You know what I mean? And when I say things like, you know, you very inconsiderate, she says, spell it. And I'd be like, you know what, girl? Spell considerate, brother. Hey, stop playing with me, DJ Envy. All right, bro.

Thank you, man. Hey, my guy. What? Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Kelsey. How are you guys? Hey, Kelsey. We're talking about grandma when it comes to a relationship.

What do you think? I totally agree with whoever submitted that email. It's annoying. I hate when people say then instead of then. Like, oh, I was going there, but then or then. It's so a turn off. It's a turn off. So if I put meet me

here, H-E-A-R, and it's the jewelry store, because I want to buy you a goddamn 20 carat ring to propose to you, you're not going to meet me here? H-E-A-R? Can you spell carrot? Good point. Right, can you spell carrot? K-A-R-A-T. Thank you,

mama. What's the moral of the story, man? Is there a moral of the story? Listen, y'all, make the effort. That's all I'm saying. At least try to, there's no reason that you should be spelling things wrong because we have autocorrect, we have Google, we have all these tools to make sure that we can do things properly. And you have kids. You shouldn't be texting your kids improperly.

You want them to do better. But I talk into the phone now. I learned to just talk into the phone. Talk to text. Push the mic thing and just talk into it. Whatever you got to do. I do have one more of all my sarcastic people out there. What?

You know, sometimes, you know, sometimes your sarcastic comment can be completely ruined by your inability to use correct grammar. And it's nothing worse than getting a nice, witty, sarcastic comment off and realizing that you put some bad grammar in there so it didn't even land the way you wanted it to land. The Breakfast Club. It's the world's most dangerous

morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is still in goddamn Disney World. But my man Casanova is here. Album is out right now. Commissary. EP. EP.

Album commissary. Oh, see, I thought that. He did the seven songs. That's what I said. I thought he had a sneaky good music deal. I did this. What made you want to do only seven? It's an EP.

Okay. At least you're one of the people calling seven songs an EP and not out. Yeah, it's an EP, man. What's been the biggest challenge for you thus far in the industry, man? Staying out of trouble. Right, right, right. Staying out of trouble, I think that's the biggest, man. And I think it's hard.

It's hard for dudes that's not pulling stunts. Like, you just got to make it musically. It's hard. You know what I'm saying? And I think everybody is getting lit off of pulling some stunts. Trolling, cloud chasing, whatever you want to call it. Yeah. And people definitely was trolling you.

Yeah, yeah. I got trolled, man. That's not true. That's not funny, man. That's, like, serious. You know, so, yeah, because the whole situation when you and Tekashi, that could have went so, so left. Yeah, I could. I saw myself in jail.

That's crazy. Like, I saw myself right back. You know what I'm saying? But, I guess God was talking to me. Why did y'all even really have an issue with each other? I never had an issue with him. I just was the person to get trolled. You fell for the bait.

Yeah. You took it. It's just like that, though, man. But, you know, after speaking to him, man, like, really speaking to him, like how you said, you get to see, like, it's not personal. It's his business. This is what he's signing up for. And you helped him with his business. Yeah.

He helped me, too. Shoot. I got lit. But the only problem with that is that sometimes, you know, it's egos. You got your people. He got his people. You guys are having confrontation. Things are happening.

People are getting questions about you. Yeah, it's never the rappers that shoot each other. And you don't ever want to really be in that situation and put people around you. No, it's never the rappers that shoot each other when the rappers don't ever want to really be in that situation and put people around you. No, it's never the rappers that shoot each other when the rappers ain't real. Because I'm real. Oh, God. There's no difference. We know.

I would have had to. We know. All right. But you don't have to because you know better. He kind of got to when he got his song. No, you can't. I got to. I got to.

You have to know better than that, though. See, this is the thing about it, right? I think a lot of these rappers are just really fake and soft. I think like 99, so the 1%, you just figure them out. We might have to go through a booklet or something like that. But I think most of these rappers are all frauds. This is all fake. It's fake.

The industry is fake. Just like even with the Kaji joint. Everybody was so happy for it to be over, right? But most of the people were just saying, people were like, yo, catch that boy, make an example. So I couldn't believe it. When I'm looking at these people posting it, I'm like, oh, they tried to trick me.

Like, I almost got tricked. Right. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, hype you up to do something because it's fun to watch on the blogs. Yeah. And then when you're in jail, they calling you the dumbest mother ever alive. Yeah, they almost tricked me. And then now I look

at it for what it is. I said, you know what? Let me stay out the way. But how did y'all end up having a conversation and coming together? How did that get watched? I swear, it was crazy, man. Just know it wasn't planned. I didn't go to talk to him. He didn't go to talk to me. I usually park in front of us.

Something was like, nah, I don't park in front of us. Park down the block, I'm in the car. I see two, three people. You know, it was some associates of his. So we get out the car. Guns off safety. I'm just messing with you. He don't carry guns.

Yo, you a street. Shot him. Shot him, man. You a goon out the car. Guns off safety. I'm just messing with you. He don't carry guns. Yo, you a street. Shout out to May. You a goon on the low. On the low. But we get out. We talk a little. We go down the block. He's right there.

I told him, I said, yo, come out the car. Let's chop it up. So we came and we chopped it up. You know what I'm saying? I'm not going to say what was said. But we chopped it up. And then right then'm saying? I'm not going to say what was said, but we chopped it up. And then right then and there, I knew I was out of pocket. Because I'm so

smart, not book smart, I'm so street smart and so chess that I was playing checkers. And I felt like I was like so little kiddish. Even though I didn't do nothing on the gram, I still entertained it off the gram. You know what I'm saying?

So I caught myself, and then I noticed, even after, like, I was, like, it was a hard pill to swallow for me. In my head, it was so much stuff going through my head, but then I said, you know what? That's how I know I'm growing up. What about all those situations you was hearing before? Like, the video posted of you walking down the block, and it was a shooting. Nah, we even talked about that, man. I asked him, I said, oh, why you troll me, my man? He just let you know, man.

That's what he do. He live off opportunities, man. Don't slip. But, yeah, that didn't have nothing to do with him. They also said it was rumors of a shooting at the Barclays, inside the Barclays. Well, there was a shot fired in the Barclays. Yeah, but, you know, it's like, I in the Barclays. Yeah, but you know, it's like, I can't

explain that either. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like you can't explain nothing. You really can't explain nothing, and me again, I don't want to post nothing because we know, we know. Did it affect business for you during that time? Affect business? I was about to be robbed again.

What? Five months I ain be robbing again. What? Five months and I didn't get a booking. What? I couldn't believe it. After the Barclays? What? I didn't get a booking before the Barclay.

Wow. And after the Barclay, I couldn't get a booking. You crazy? Because you get the reputation of he's beefing with this person. It's crazy.

I'm talking about they pulling over my car. They searching me. And the good part about it is about they pulling over my car. They searching me. And the good part about it is, this is why I said, like, God was with me. Because this is all happening while I'm on parole. Like, this is happening while I'm on parole. I don't even know how I made it off parole. Shout out to the parole system.

When did you get off parole? I got off parole, like, two months ago. Wow. So your PO never was asking you about none of this stuff? Yeah. You live and you learn. At least you didn't get tricked off the road like two months ago. Wow, so your PO never was asking you about none of this stuff? Yeah! You live and you learn. At least you didn't get tricked off the street. Alright, we got more with Casanova coming up right here on the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club.

Charlamagne Tha God, Angel Lee, DJ Envy is in Disney World. Our man Casanova is in the building. That's why I was happy when I even saw y'all together, because I'm like, I remember texting you one day like, man, leave that s*** alone, man. Yeah. Yeah, with some good people.

What really made me, I ain't going to lie, what really scared me was... Tata. Tata scared me. Tata scared me. You know what I'm saying? Tata said, yo, you... He kept a spray, dude?

You know what I'm saying? I'm a different type of jailer. I go, I want to control the jail, control the phones, control the drugs in the jail.

Am I going to make it out of jail? Are these people that already left me, you know, family and all, mothers, brothers, fathers, they all left me in jail. Girlfriends, everybody. Friends left me. You know what I'm saying?

I was in jail selling drugs. You know what I'm saying? So can I believe them and believe they sorry? I would never leave you again, Kaz. It was a mistake. Can I believe that for my mom? Can my mom come see me now? If you didn't come see me then, you're not coming to see me now.

So I'm looking like everything gets taken away from me if I go to jail. Because me, I'm providing for my family now. Nobody's not helping me. Nobody ain't helped me since I came home.

Do you ever get over that though? The fact that when you went to jail, like you said, mothers, fathers, brothers, girls like not coming to see you. How do you say, okay, I'm sure sometimes it gotta come up.

Sometimes I relapse. Sometimes I relapse. I just had a big argument with my mother. About what? My daughter's graduation was the other day. So my mom texted me and said, dang, that's crazy. I didn't get no invite. So I asked my daughter, I said, you didn't invite grandma?

She said she knew. I texted her back. I said, listen,'t invite grandma? She said she knew. I texted her back. I said, listen, you never came to none of my graduations. And you never came to my daughter's graduation. Matter of fact, you never came to nothing I had to deal with. So she was like, well, my name is mother. I said, matter of fact, today is Father's Day. You ain't even tell me how to be Father's Day since I've been a father.

Now, how ironic on Father's Day. She ain't even say Father's Day. And then she just basically told me, like, so what? But the crazy thing is, I love my mother. My mother spoiled me rotten until I just went left. You know what I'm saying? So now sometimes she be crying on the phone, and I just be heartless. I be like, Ma, I've been crying for years, like, in a cell, like, ma, like, I still

remember letters, like, yo, ma, please just come see me, please, man, you told me if these girls left me, you're gonna be there, please come see me, this is a kid, I'm 20 years old, come see me, and she'd be like, no, I call, I'll use somebody else's line, like, yo, ma, ma, yo, that's you? Yeah, what you want? Ma, yo, I'll get a visit, just send me yo, ma, ma, yo, that's you? Yeah, what you want? Ma, yo, I'll get a visit. Just send me some money. Send me some money for some commissary, yo. I'm not sending you nothing.

Sick, I'm looking like, dang, I got four and a half more years to go. Did you ever ask her why she felt that way? My mom is just a tough cookie, man. My mom is just like, my mom would get me, even if you look at my documentary I did, my mom would get me even if you look at my documentary i did my mom will get me from under a car with the smoking gun my mom police coming to the house my mom hiding guns somebody beat me up my mom giving me the gun you know i'm saying my mom is a different type of mother but now she found god so she in mixed feelings. You know what I'm saying? Like the barclays and I say, yo, mom, please.

Can you come? I ain't coming. Doing that secular music. Yeah. But it hurt me because I'm like, I'm doing good. You used to come when the gun was smoking. Like I was, I was a Chris Brown. I'm like, you can't come.

So I ate it. But long story short, that's what goes through my mind, even with the 69 situation. It's like, me, I go. I go back to jail to defend myself and to protect myself. But do I go hunting to go back to jail? Do I go looking for the op? I just make the op come or anybody come.

You know what I'm saying? Because it's really not worth it because people don't understand how this jail thing go. Now I might not even understand. You don't understand the consequences of his actions. He's too young. When you go through that, they don't care what you say. A phone call, a text, you affiliated. You all going to jail.

And that's how they get the tattletalers because it's really people that don't have nothing to do with it. They'll be like, what? I wasn't there that day. I know who was there. They was doing people is really people that don't have nothing to do with it. And be like, what? I wasn't there that day. I know who was there. They was doing all of that. I didn't have nothing to do with that. Because they grabbing squares. They grabbing the gangsters, whoever sold you the drugs, the guns.

I ever go. And I just wasn't ready for it. Truthfully, I said I could take it there. I know I'm a beast. I know I can fight. I know I bust my gun. You know what I'm saying? And looking through my old stuff, I posted the other day, I'm like,

dang, I've been arrested about 30-something times. Dang, I got mad convictions. I've been up north like three times. I'm like, dang. Again, do I want to go there? If I have to, yeah, but it's a situation I can control. You think about how it affects your daughter, too. Yes, that's another situation.

Even with being a father, you know how long it took me to adapt to being a father? Missing my daughter? You can't miss something you never experienced. I never experienced being a father. My daughter was born while I was in jail. So, I didn't

even miss her in jail. Jail will really f*** you up. So even now, learning to miss her, like I just came off the road and when I walked in my house, my daughter jumped on me. It just be shocking. Like, oh, you can't even believe you was missing out on this type of energy. For years, you know what I'm saying? Even with my son, I don't even be having time because I'm chasing my dream to be with my son like that. And I'm like, when I see him, it's like, I'm bugging. I got to do better.

So, again, you throw all that on the line for what? Dude never did nothing to me. He living in his own world. All right, we got more with Casanova coming up. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angel Lee, DJ Envy is in Disney World. My man Casanova is in the building.

The internet will crossfire you two. It's like the playground. You know, like, say you and a person, me and you could be having a conversation one-on-one, and it'd be cool. But if it's a crowd around, it's over. It's over. It's over. And they'll just, this whole, like I said, this whole industry is fake.

You know, just like I said, don't tell me, Kaz, I love you, or Kaz, you was a good person, when I die. I see them doing that with ex-ex-ex-kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, you know, not to talk about nobody, but I think all of these rappers is fake. It's real family members that die that I don't see people going to their candle lighting or posting their candle lighting.

Now I see rappers going to these people's stuff. It's like, yeah, we mourning for them, but they have nothing to do with you. You don't know. You're not. If you got to do that deal, do that for every person that dies, that get missing off the count. When a newspaper says somebody died, pull up. Post it. But certain things affect you differently.

You got funeral sounding like the club, man. That's how these dudes are doing it. But even with the kid, Junior, the 15-year-old from the Bronx, that was such a tragic, sad situation. You saw that online. For you. I'm not saying that for the Charlemagne's and for the youth and for the corporate people.

That's like, oh, my gosh, I can't believe that. I'm talking about the hood dudes, the dudes that seen these bodies drop and they hood weekly or monthly or losing friends or losing family members or losing whatever or busting a gun. It's like, oh, my gosh, this is so wrong. Not much wrong stuff you rap about and you say you do? What are you talking about here? And then, you know, everybody's saying the real dudes, oh, yeah, justice, justice, right?

Again, like how Mike Swan said, I was one of them dudes shooting, doing stuff like that. My mom was the same one sick. Like, all of them lost their life because they're going to be in jail for the rest of their life. You can't pick a side. You can say it's wrong, but pray for everybody. You know what I'm saying? Go talk to them kids. Them kids don't know no better.

I didn't know no better. I had to live and learn. That's why they tell me, yo, go talk to the kids. I'll be like, listen, the kids not going to listen to me because I ain't listen to no adults. When they was coming through, yo, get out of here, old here old man you washed up you're not gonna listen until you feel but at the end of the day i feel like this whole thing is just fake like fake people wearing shirts of people they don't even know see that's the crazy thing to me like we know the industry is fake but respect

is real so what i mean by that is like you can't just go around disrespecting people just because the industry is fake You can't be one of those guys. Nah, I'm not saying disrespect nobody. That's why I didn't say no names with no artists I'm just trying to say the corporate people is good to do what y'all doing. Oh This is sad, but for the people that have been in the streets seeing this every day Don't get up and go to somebody else's house in a different state for an Instagram video. Well, yeah, not for an Instagram video. Like, that's what it's for. It's because you're posting it.

If you're coming in peace, donate it in peace. Come there and put a hoodie on and let somebody catch you. At least fake it in peace. Like, come. Oh, he was here. That was dope. Cool. I feel the same way.

Like, I didn't know that XXX dude. I'm going to say rest in peace for him. I ain't never posted a song. I ain't. But nope. I feel rest in peace in my mind, but I'm not going to post it. Look at it. Look at it.

Look at the crazy thing. And let's be honest. I really went back on these dudes' pages. I went on a lot of people's. I'm talking about a year. I haven't saw most of these rappers with one picture of XXX before he died. Wait, you did research? Yes, yes, because that's how I wrote the tweet.

I'm like, don't do that to me. They saying he was great, he was a legend. Why you couldn't tell this man? He was a legend. Because people are helping me now. I swear to God, when 50 or when Hov or anybody give me a compliment, when any one of these dudes, Ross, everybody, every individual that's supposed to be a legend, Pharrell,

every legend that calls my phone, be like, yo, I'm proud of you. That do something to me. Word up. That really make me be like, yo, Pharrell, I just told you Pharrell. I saw Lil Yachty post something like that this morning. He was like, how the OGs be listening to their music, but don't big up the young boy. And that's inspiration for them, you know what I mean?

Even with Meek. When I saw Meek at my show at SOB just years ago, I was hyped. I was turning up. I was turned. It make you feel good. It make you understand you're doing the right thing. Don't wait till I die to tell me that because you could have saved my life.

If one of them OGs that's saying they love XXX would have went, come here, listen, you're bugging. Stop talking about Drake's parents. Stop doing this. That's not how you do it. Let me show you how you do it. Make your music. Nobody did that. Everybody.

I saw him at the BET Awards last year, and he was walking by himself. I posted a picture. We was in a picture together, me, him, and two other people. I just put it on my InstaSnap. Nobody was walking with him. Nobody was walking with him. Nobody was talking to him. Everybody, once he did that with Drake, everybody was like, oh, dude, it's wild.

So what are you, all this love is fake. And it's killing me, but I understand it now. I don't. I understand it. I understand it. These people not going to let you in until you're somebody, a top priority. That's it. If you wasn't who you was, people wouldn't even say what's up until you're somebody, a top priority. That's it. If you wasn't who you was, people wouldn't even say what's up to you.

Oh, that's real. But you have a platform. You know what I'm saying? No, I'm aware of that. If I went, you know, whatever, no more breakfast club, then no one. You're done. There's a lot of people who won't care about me. You're done.

And you know what I'm saying? That's why. The Tina will still be here. That's why I don't go to no listening parties. None of that shit. That's what I'm saying. I go to do listening parties. None of that shit. That's what I'm saying. I go to do listening parties.

I do a lot of stuff. I post a lot of people's music and then I looked at it and I said, dang, ain't nobody post my music. Nobody come to my stuff. I'm done with that. It's over for the fake love. I'm not pulling up to your party. None of that. It's over for that because you really don't genuinely care about me anyway.

What's commissary mean? What's the title? Commissary. With commissary, like I told you, I always used to call for commissary. Everything in jail is all for commissary. Like whoever got the most commissary is lit. You know what I'm saying? You got commissary, you could buy weed, you could buy a phone,

you could buy so much different things. And I always wanted commissary. Like, yo, ma, I need money for commissary, yo, Ma, I need money for commissary. Yo, whoever, I need money for commissary. So then I looked at it like, dang, I should name my project commissary because this is what y'all need. Y'all need that hoolie back. You know what I'm saying?

So I'm going to give y'all some commissary. And that's how I just came up with the name. When's that full, another full-length album coming out? I want it to come out. I ain't going to front. I love this EP, but the album, I did the cheat code. I called my friends for assistance. Is that the name of the album?

No. Cheat code? Ooh, you might have gave me an idea. But no, I called my friends for assistance, man. And I got a big feature on there, I can't say. On the album? On the album, coming soon.

I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. Donkey, donkey, donkey. Bunch of f***ing deadheads. That's how. For the donkey of the day. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the devil?

Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Donkey of the Day. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Donkey of the Day for Friday goes to a young lady named Safira Allen. Now look, man, it is too much real racial profiling, too much real discrimination going on out here in these streets for us to be crying wolf when it comes to racism, okay? Y'all know what crying wolf is, right? Yes. All right.

Okay, well, let me inform the people who don't know. It's to raise a false alarm, to ask for assistance when you don't need it, to exaggerate or lie. And that is exactly what Safira Allen did. Now, according to the Washington Post, Safira was a disruptive passenger who was late to board a Spirit Airlines flight from Atlanta to Las Vegas. Now, according to the incident report, Safira was late for her flight and when told she was too late to board,

she ran past the gate agent and got on the flight anyway. Now, I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but if you do something like that in any airport in the world, no matter the airline, it's not going to end well for you. But Saphira didn't get that memo, nor is she willing to take responsibility for her own actions because she said it was Spirit Airlines' fault for her tardiness in the first place because she claims that Spirit closed the boarding gate 20 minutes earlier than scheduled.

First of all, why the hell are you flying Spirit? Okay? Spirit is so trash. I booked a flight on Spirit one time and they canceled the flight for no reason. The weather was nice. Everything was good. And they canceled the flight for no reason and refused to give me my money back when I called. I don't rock with Spirit.

But do you, boo? Now, when Spirit closed the boarding gate early, and, you know, she claimed, when Spirit closed the boarding gate early, you know, she decided to weaponize racism and discrimination in order to prove a point, and she decided to do it all on a 19-minute Facebook rant. Let's go to ABC7 Chicago for the report, please. A passenger's rant on board a Spirit Airlines plane is going viral on social media. Passenger Safira Allen had apparently missed an earlier flight from Atlanta to Las Vegas. Spirit Airlines says Allen ran down the boarding ramp of another Spirit flight to Vegas

and took a seat that wasn't ticketed to her. When the gate agent tried to remove her from the plane, she refused and instead fired up her cell phone and took her story to Facebook Live. A Spirit gate agent tries to get Allen to stand up, but she refuses to unbuckle her seatbelt. Allen tells her Facebook Live audience the entire episode is Spirit's fault for making her miss her initial Vegas flight. Since Allen wouldn't budge, the airline ordered all the other passengers to deplane. Atlanta police then board the plane to remove Allen. Allen is being charged with criminal trespass, simple battery, and obstruction of a law enforcement officer.

I know based off what we have been seeing on airlines lately, you want to give Safira the benefit of the doubt. But Safira is full of caca, ladies and gentlemen. Okay, we are all walking contradictions, every single one of us. But Safira, your contradictions are ridiculous. Let's listen to some of Safira Allen's Facebook grants live from Spirit Airlines. earlier when the gate was closed. But when the black lady tried to come on the gate, y'all ain't let the b**** on this b****. They're going to have to put me off because they're going to tell me I was cussing. I don't even cuss. I'm orthodox. So what are you saying?

She's right. She doesn't curse. It can't be her. Safira doesn't cuss because she's orthodox. She let us know that immediately after cussing. She seems unorthodox. You should know at this moment she's a liar. At this very moment we should know she can't be trusted. Now, when she was asked by the crew and security to get out of her seat and exit the plane, she said this.

I'm not getting off this plane to negotiate with no terrorists. Because clearly they're the terrorists. They terrorized me in my own country. Okay, let's follow this now. She called the crew and security terrorists and said she was being terrorized in her own country. All because she was late to her flight and decided to run past the gate agent after being told she couldn't board the plane. One thing so many of

us lack is self-awareness. Self-awareness is the ability to take an honest look at your life without any attachment to it being right or wrong, good or bad. Safira has none of that because she called the crew insecurity terrorists. She also said she was being racially discriminated against. So if you are claiming these two things, what you can't

do is then proceed to terrorize and be racist toward other passages as they are being deplained because of your BS. Oh, you didn't know that's what happened? Let's listen to Safira Work. If I can't go to Las Vegas, Nevada, neither can y'all. Yeah, I don't give a ball head ass either, lady.

So go on, get out of there. Okay, okay, but I still fight you, so get off the plane. So go on, get up and dance. Okay, okay. But I still fight you, so get off the plane. Deep plane. You know what deep plane means? Good. You ain't going to heaven either. You're going to hell. That's hell that way. Hell that way. Y'all going to hell.

Hell is that way. Hell is that way. A monkey too. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I look like a monkey, too. Bye. Hello, how y'all doing? Can you see me?

Hi, welcome to America. She is crazy. Wow. Drop on the clues bombs for that passenger who was the boy in the flight and gave Safira a donkey at a day in the moment. Thank you for doing my job, young lady. I wish I knew your name so I could show you love, but thank you. Now, back to Safira.

Come on, sis. There's people being racially discriminated against all the time, okay? We've seen real acts of discrimination on airlines from Tamika Mallory to the Asian guy who got dragged off the plane. But you, Safira, stop it. Don't weaponize real issues like racism for your own personal agenda.

And how you racially discriminate against yourself by calling yourself a monkey. It made that monkey noise. It made the monkey noise. It made the monkey noise. It was late to your flight. You ran past the security agent and boarded anyway. In this day and age, post 9-11, when a random act of terrorism can happen at any moment,

you're lucky you didn't get shot, okay? This has nothing to do with racism or discrimination. This is just you and your own poor choices. Please let the passenger who had to deboard the plane because of Safira giveafira Allen the biggest hee-haw. Hell is that right? Yep, it's the world's most dangerous

morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angel Lee, DJ Envy is still at Disney World. We have a special guest in the building, man. And he's missing out, man. This guy makes a lot of money. Oh, you are such a bird. Now, if you were a woman and said that, it would be awful. But because it's a man and he says that, it would be awful.

I don't like it either. It's like complimenting my breasts. There's more to me than this, guys. More than beating my money. Russell Peters is here. He makes a lot of money. I first started seeing Russell's name a few years ago. It was on the world's highest paid comedians list.

And I was like, well, I need to research this guy. You know, who is Russell Peters? You're not really on TV. You're not really in film. You make all your money on the road. I make my money on the road. I'm not clicked up with nobody. That's why.

How'd you get to the point, though, where you ended up on these highest paid comedians list? I don't know, dog. I just started. I've been doing it 30 years now. So it's been a minute. You know, I put in the know, dog. I just started. I've been doing it 30 years now, so it's been a minute. You know, I put in the time and then it just started. I've been doing arenas now for 11

years. Wow. So, you know, a lot of guys get one arena tour. That's my sixth one. Well, it had to be some humble beginnings. Oh, it was damn humble beginnings. I remember doing the Bronx BBQ back in 96. The Bronx BBQ? On Fordham Road and at like 1.30 in the morning and getting booed

off stage. You got booed off the stage? Oh, hell yeah. I deserved it. You saw what happened to Lisa Lampanelli recently? Get the f*** out! If you're gonna f***ing talk s*** to me in my own show, mother f***er, I will f***ing give you personally your money back. Because I don't need to f***ing

work for people. Yeah, I don't really understand what happened. I was watching it, and I don't understand it. I mean, I see how it could happen, and I know Lisa, so, you know, I mean, it's a question of, you know, maybe she's got a bad, you know. Sometimes when somebody just pisses you off when you're on stage, it happens to me sometimes, and I catch myself,

but, you know, it's one of those things where if you don't catch yourself, you're going to go past the to me sometimes and I catch myself, but, you know, it's one of those things where if you don't catch yourself, you're going to go past the point of being able to come back. I don't give a damn if Lisa Lampanelli gets heckled. Lisa Lampanelli used to say the word n***a

and she said she wouldn't stop using it, so who cares? You know, as a brown man, I can't, you know, I get called it too. You got you. I get called it too. I read an interview on Comedy Couch

and you said you have a phenomenal memory for people who weren't nice to you wanting to come up. Absolutely. Have you sh**ted on any of those people? I've sh**ted on every single one of them, and I continue to do it to this day. And it's funny because you'll see little things come up in the news about certain people,

and I'm like, I just did a little smirk. I'm like, hmm. Ha. You always knew they were a jerk. Yeah. You know, you already, like, you know, everybody that's getting in trouble, like most of them, they were like, they were real dicks. Right.

Like Harvey Weinstein, people talk about how nasty he was to people. I met him at a Netflix thing like years ago, like five years ago. And the president of Netflix introduced me to him. He goes, Harvey, this is Russell Peters. He's the first comic to do the Netflix straight to special. And Harvey just kind of gave me a half a look and gave me a dead fish handshake. He goes, you're a comedian? I go, yeah.

And did one of these. And then his wife was like, no, Harvey, he's really funny. I've seen him. And then he goes, yeah. And that was it. And I was like, f*** this guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about Bill Cassidy? Because you would think if you're that was it. And I was like, this guy. Yeah. Because you would think if you're the head of an agency, you would want to know.

Yeah. He would want something. Yeah. Not something. No, that's the thing. I don't know if I rub. I don't know if I look the wrong way for these people. I don't know what it is.

Yeah. I'm like, it's like he could have been, but he's too chubby. Like whatever the deal is. Don't ever say you rubbed Harvey Weinstein. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a, Yeah, that's true. Yeah. I'm not a tree. What about Bill Cosby?

Any instances? I never got to meet Bill Cosby. I think I met him once, but I fell asleep. I can't remember what happened after that. Oh, man. Inappropriate. I never met Bill Cosby. Why do you think once people get in a certain position, they start treating those in a lower

position like they are less than them? I think that's who they always were. I think that's who you find out who you are. When you have money, it's how you treat people then. That's who you find out who that person is. Very true. They always say money doesn't change you. It just multiplies whatever it is you already want.

Yeah. Yeah. I take note of all that stuff when I'm out. I see how people talk to the server or whatever. Don't do that, man. That could still be us. Oh, I read this. I was reading some of my daily affirmation this morning, and it was this guy.

I can't remember his name, but when he used to want to hire new people, he would take them to lunch or something just to see how they would treat the waitress. And he would make the waitress get their order wrong on purpose. Yeah, he would tell the waitress, get their order wrong on purpose to see how they would react. Yeah, see, I'm one of those people. I don't trust nobody in the kitchen.

So if she brings me the wrong thing, I'll be like, yeah, this will be fine. I'll eat this. I grew up without food. It's okay. My parents are from the third world. It's good. So what have you done to change the narrative, though, as far as being a guy in a position of power now? See, here's the thing.

I don't really think of myself as a guy in a position of power. Really? Yeah, because I'm still doing everything for myself. I'm not in with Judd. I'm not in with Sandler. I'm not in with Chris. But you could be. No, we all know each other, but nobody goes, yo.

I don't think any of that. It's funny because I look at the dudes that they do co-sign, and I'm like, I don't understand your moves. I guess you want the guy you can control. I'm not the guy you can control. I'm not out of control. You know what I mean? Do you think that they probably don't know what to do with you? I think that's what it is.

Also, here's the thing. I'm the first Indian guy. There was none before me. I mean, obviously there was billions of them before me, but in this business, I was the first guy. So, it's kind of like, well, now he's too old. Now he's too out of shape. Whatever the deal is.

It could be Aziz's uncle. You know, but I was there before Aziz. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's the thing. It's like, man, I watch these cats when they do their interviews. And I'm like, all right, I see you. Not paying no, no, not paying.

I ain't asking for nothing, but you could kiss the ring a little bit. You know what I mean? You're worried up. Is there anything? I can't believe people think you're too old in comedy. I don't think so. I'm 48. I mean, you know, now they're looking at kids in their late 20s, early 30s.

But funny is funny, I think. I know, but the problem is they don't look at it like that. It's like they don't want that. A lot of these kids never came up the road. They never did the road. So they don't even know what it's like to stay in like a hotel where you're like, you know what, I'm going to sleep in the car because it's nicer. You know, they don't even know what it's like to stay in like a hotel where you're like you know what I'm gonna sleep in the car

cause it's nicer you know they don't really get it but I mean that's the way the game goes I can't complain because I'm still killing it on my side

so you're good but it's one of those I don't know if it's an ego thing or if it's just you're getting old you just want a little bit of respect from the kids

but do you ever reach out to them yourself maybe as an older person to you know say you know what? I think you're really dope. I just want to. The problem is I don't think they're dope.

I don't. I don't. I mean, I'm not going to lie to you. No, there's some. I mean, but the guys that are really dope are the guys nobody knows. But that's what I'm saying. Those are the people. Those are the ones I reach out to.

Because everybody starts off as someone that nobody really knows. Yeah. But I mean, there's guys that have been doing it longer than these cats that are really good. And for whatever reason, they don't want to leave their hometown or whatever. And they're like, damn, dude, why don't you just you would be so ill. Sometimes people need that encouragement, though,

because they tell them I tell them all the time. You know, there's a guy in Dallas named Paul Varghese. Hilarious. So do you think that these executives in these buildings just aren't in the street? No, they're definitely not in the street. There's a reason all these little guys, any rapper with Lil in front of his name is popular because nobody's in the street. There's nobody in the street listening to that.

It's all these idiot kids that... Online. Yeah, whatever it is. I don't know how people find music anymore. And then when you know, when you go to a club, they play all that trash and it bothers me

because back in the day when you go to a club, you would go to the club to hear music you didn't know because you wanted to find out what was good. And now if you go to a club and they hear something

they don't know, they're like, I want to hear the song I know. And I'm like, nah, that's not the way. People used to break records in the club. Yeah, I used to be.

The world's different and we got accepted. You know, I don't want to sound like the crusty old guy,, I used to be. The world's different. And we got accepted. I don't want to sound like the crusty old guy, but I kind of am the crusty old guy. Not crusty, but it's hard. It's one of those things that's hard. It's a hard transition. I get it.

I feel the same way sometimes. The world is different because the world is changing because we're older. And we got to accept it because it's not going to go backwards. It can only go forward. I don't want to be amongst the youth, though. I feel like let the youth be the youth and we be what we are

yeah and you know same thing I say you know when we were when our music was coming up everybody made fun of us yeah and the older people

did the same thing so I can't when I catch myself doing it I'm like you're doing the same thing people did to you and make fun of their dances I'm like

we had the worst dances you know Cabbage Patch and all Cabbage Patch Cabbage Patch and all. The Cabbage Patch. Cabbage Patch was kind of fire, bro. But the biz, the biz dance. Remember that?

Kind of fire. Kid and play kick step still going to this day. But if you do it to a young kid now, they're like, what are you doing? Very true. Me and my wife was doing the kid and play kick step in the kitchen. And my daughter, she's 10 now. She was nine at the time. She was like, what's wrong?

What are y'all doing? Why y'all kicking each other? And my daughter's seven and a half. She was nine at the time. She was like, what's wrong? What are y'all doing? Why y'all kicking each other? And my daughter's seven and a half. She was trying to floss the other day. And it's sad because I think she got the Indian gene of no rhythm. All right, we got more with comedian Russell Peters coming up on the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club. Yes, it's the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club.

Shalameen the God here. We have one of the top 10 highest paid comedians in the world in the building right now. Russell Peters, you have the life most people want, though. You have the money, you know, without a whole lot of fame. But it seems like you want the fame to go with it. Yeah, you do. Why? No, I want the respect to go with it.

Respect, okay. I mean, don't you guys get a lot of people in here coming for some respect on their name? Yes, we do. I would think this is about the money. What, for me? Yeah, for anybody. I mean, the money's great. You got, I would think this about the money. What, for me? Yeah, for anybody. I mean, the money's great. I mean, let's not

get it twisted. The money's great. The good thing, I mean, the thing about me is I like to make, I don't want to be alone at the top of the mountain. Yeah.

So I just make whoever's around me, you're coming with me. Or whoever I admired, I'm making sure you're okay. You know, I'm friends with every old school rapper I ever grew up listening to.

But it's interesting because Netflix actually did you as their first comedian. They did me as their first and then they did everybody else better. And paid everybody else way better. Yeah, and I was like, oh, that's how we're doing this, huh? I was shocked that you did that

because of the fact you make so much money on the road and you're selling out these arenas. So why give Netflix an hour? I mean, you know, I like to be the first to do things. So I was the first guy to start the stand-up special straight to Netflix. But the only problem with that is sometimes when you're the first, it's an experiment. That's fair. Did you make more than Monique got offered?

Yeah, but I mean, what does that mean? I mean, Monique got, you know. Half a million? Yeah, I mean, I make more than Monique got offered? Yeah, but I mean, that's what does that mean? I mean, Monique got you know. Half a million? Yeah, I mean, I made more than that. Definitely made not much more than that, but more than that. Maybe, you know, a couple of times more than that, a few times more than that. So in your ideal world, what is it then?

Maybe two and a half, maybe. Wow. I mean, because I know you make more than that on a few nights. Yeah, I know. That's the thing. I was like, okay. And then I saw that they were upping everybody to $20 million. And I was like, oh, is that where we're going with this? This is great. And they gave Amy Schumer $15 for that piece of shit that she released.

Yeah. And I'm like, oh, okay. So I'm like, I'm calling. I'm like, so what do we got, $10 now? We getting $10 for this next one? No, and they'll call back. So clearly you and Amy Schumer aren't friends. No, it was a shitty special. Even if we were friends, I and Amy Schumer aren't friends. No, it was a shitty special.

Even if we were friends, I'd tell her. We're not enemies, but it was a shitty special. What are you going to do about it? And not like all my specials were the best ever, but I'll admit it. When my stuff is kind of weak, I'm like, eh. So what are those specials based off exactly? Is it what you do as far as your numbers in stand-up?

No, it's how much they're riding your dick at that moment. Got you. It really is a dick-riding game. At that moment. Yeah, it's a dick-riding game. You know what I mean? It's like, you know. So if you're hot, they'll pay you your money.

The thing is, when you're hot, you're not really hot. The industry is like just on your nuts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It doesn't mean you're as good as you think you are. Yeah. And at the same time, when they're not on your nuts, it doesn't mean you're not as good as you are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd rather have the people. I'd rather be doing what you're as good as you think you are. And at the same time, when they're not on your nuts, it doesn't mean you're not as good as you are. I'd rather have the people. I'd rather

be doing what you're doing. You do arenas everywhere across the world. Not even the world. Yeah, I'm doing Forest Hill Stadium, August 18th. How much that hold? Like $15,000, $12,000, $15,000? Probably sold out already. Nah, I'm trying to. That's why I'm here. In your ideal world, what would you want that you don't have

though? Like what is it that you want besides... I mean, I'd like to be in movies, a lot more movies. I mean, in better movies with bigger budgets, you know what I mean? Just to be able to know what a big-budget film feels like. All the movies I ever did were all low-budget movies. Indian Detective? Come on, the low-budget movie series. You know, did you see it?

It'll get you to sleep in them. It's a fun show, you know, but, you know, is it coming back? We don't know. You feel like you just haven't gotten what you deserve out of the game. Forget all the money. No, you know what it is? When I say it out loud now and I'm talking to you, I realize how ungrateful I sound. Yes, it sounds crazy, Russell.

And I'll be the first. I'm always ready to call myself on anything. That's why people are like, you know, I'm ready to call myself on anything. I was introduced to you on the Forbes list as one of the top ten highest paid comedians alive. But here's the thing. Okay, so I've been on that Forbes list as one of the top 10 highest paid comedians alive. But here's the thing. Okay, so I've been on that Forbes list, I think, five times in a row. And each time I climbed. So I think the last time I was on it a few years ago, I was number three.

But I was always below people who had TV shows or movies. So you feel like if you had TV shows or movies, you could be above everybody. No, but I just kind of feel like the industry should be like, well, who is Russell Peters? How much could this guy be worth if we put him in movies and TV? Duh. Or if we pair him up with somebody who's like an A-list. Look, there's Cube. Cube's done a

gang of movies. I ain't been in one of them. Have you ever met Cube? Uh, not like on like a real level. Well, let me introduce you to him right now. He sat in front of me at a fight and I tapped him on the shoulder maybe 12, 13 years ago. I was like, you're actually in my top five.

What did he say back? Thanks. Thank you. And then he went back to the fight. He's like, he don't want to hear that shit. If I ain't the number one, don't even talk to me about it.

I know, but you know, I'm an East Coast guy. So, you know, for me to put a West Coast guy in that list is a real honor. The way you said it was a little sarcastic though. Hey, you're in my top five. Well, I didn't say it like

that. I was a little... I don't want to sound like a punk because I was like, I was real gushy like, hey man, you know, I'm going to send me back. Well, Russell Peters, man, get to know him. I can't believe that you... You know what I do like is that when guys come on here and they talk about me,

I really like that. Like when Sinbad came in and Lil Rel. I mean, that to me, that's all like that. Like when Sinbad came in. And Lil Rel. And Lil Rel. I mean, that to me, that's all I want. Rel said you took him on a shopping spree. Him and all his kids. I did. That's when Lil Rel was going through some stuff back then.

You know, he had no money. And him and his wife was on the rocks. And I was in Chicago. I was like, let me fix you up. And now look at him. Damn, man. That's a good story. That's a great story.

He was like pretty woman. He made it seem like he was a crap head. No, no. No, but he was, you know, he had to. Russell Peters fixed my life. Yeah, no. Well, he told the story first.

He did, yeah. He didn't say that part about him. He hit a little bum road there, you know, and I was like worried about him and I wasn't on a financial level. I was worried about him on a personal level

because, you know, you're going through that kind of stuff, that personal stuff. And then to see him come out on this level, I'm like, damn. That's great. Even I didn't see that coming.

He's a great dude, though. He's such a nice kid. I still call him Milton because, you know. Now, Rel is one of those people that if he doesn't pay it forward in the future and return some of these favors

and say, Russell, I got an idea for a movie. I don't want it to me. I want them to do it for somebody else. So if he got an idea for him and you, you don't want to do it? Yeah, if he comes to me with that Look at Tiffany

Tiffany keeps flipping it into other things And these are all people I know I know all these kids That's what I like to see Gerard flipping it on It makes me very happy to see all that I just want some of the cats to be like I get a lot of these guys posting their concerts or whatever,

and they'll be like, I'm the first comic to do this. I'm like, no, I was. Just recognize. That's all I need. Acknowledge it. So you were the first to do a Netflix special. I was the first guy doing a Netflix special. First on YouTube.

First guy on YouTube. I'm the first guy to do six arena tours in a row. Okay. Like, you know, but they always talk about Dane Cook. He did one arena tour. They're like, oh, Dane Cook's, I'm like, no.

Oh, that's white privilege. I'm on my sixth. Sixth. Ain't nobody paying attention. Because you're Indian. I know. No, but you know what it is? I'm an Indian guy with a white name

and I didn't change it. That's just my slave name. That's what happened to me. But Russell, happy to see you, man. I've been watching you for years, son. Thank you, sir. I had no clue.

You weren't as tall as I thought you were. Everyone says that about him. Where do they follow you and stuff, man? Russell Peters on Instagram. At the real Russell P on Twitter. But you might as well know who's on Twitter. I am. I still am.

I love my Twitter. I link all my Instagram stuff to my Twitter. Yeah, me too. But if you follow me on Instagram, just watch my stories. I do more stories than I do posting. And don't be a stranger, man. I'd love for you to come up here every couple months.

I'm down. And just shit on the industry for not putting in movies. I'm always ready to shit. Tell somebody to push you in one. Hey, did you watch Hip Hop Evolution on Netflix? No, I was watching that series with Rhapsody and Nas. No, no, no.

Why don't you watch the real one that I did? Hip Hop Evolution? Yeah, Hip Hop Evolution. It's on Netflix. Four parts. We won an Emmy. We won a Peabody. Oh, wow.

Again, I won an Emmy. I won a Peabody. So you have an Emmy and a Peabody? Yeah, but that's for producing. I executive produced Hip Hop Evolution. Wow. And we went deep. We got Coke La Rock on there.

We got, you know, Herc. Herc don't give interviews, but Herc's my man, so I called Herc. I was like, I need you to do this. What other awards do you have we don't know about? I don't know. Some Canadian ones. They don't matter. I'm just kidding.

You matter, Russell. We matter. Brown lives matter. It's Russell Peters, ladies and gentlemen, The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag.

This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that?
