I'm trying to figure out why they pushing COVID so much, but they're not talking about like the flu. Like, you know, the flu has to kill millions of people too. I literally said that yesterday. I was like, damn, did anybody get the flu last year? No. I don't think so. The flu just went away.

They don't even talk about the flu anymore. It's just COVID-19 and police killing. That's all they talk about, man. You right, King. Alright, well, thank you for your call, man. Hello, who's this? What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Oh, man, I just want...

Man, all right, man. You know 2021, man, it's not going on. But one of the things that's going on, man, is our children, man, are going far to the left. What you mean? Okay, I got four daughters. Yep. All of them are like 11, 12, 13, and the youngest one is like 10.

But, you know, we have a well-neighbor family, so they stay together all the time, kick it together, and all of them like females, you know? So it's like yesterday, they wanted to go to the pool because it's hot in Columbia. I mean, it was raining,

but, you know, it's still hot. Oh, you in the Met? You in the Met? Yeah, gotta know that, man. Okay. I mean, it's raining, but, you know, it's still hot. Oh, you in the Met? You in the Met? Yeah, I got to know that, man. Okay. I mean, we be going down. Go ahead. My daughter has teamed to one of these little girls over here and be laying in the lap.

You know what I mean? And it just disturbs me how we don't have a, like, I guess, like a natural, like, when we were little, we used to go outside, play in the woods and shit. You know what I mean? She used to come play. And we had to be on the phone. And it seemed like the Internet is making our females even like females. On the Internet, females are just polarized, like females all day.

Bro, bro, they're 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14. They have friends. You can't tell what somebody's sexuality at 10, 11, and 12. They're just exploring Their friends That's what y'all Talking about? Yeah that's what He was saying

He was saying This girl is all In his other girl's laps And they're on TV And they're watching TV And they're not doing it But you don't know What it is

I thought y'all Talking about playing outside No No He's talking about Their sexuality When we were young We used to have to go outside

Nowadays They're on the phone They're on the internet True And nowadays On the internet. That is true. And nowadays, on the internet, you see way more Instagram models

and things like that. You see a lot of that on the internet. Yeah. Instagram model dudes like, yeah, what's up?

You know what I mean? Sounds like you're upset because your daughters might be gay. Where are we getting this part? I don't get this part of the story. What did I miss

to where your daughters might be gay? I didn't hear that part. That's where I feel like the generation part of the story. What did I miss to where your daughters might be gay? I didn't hear that part. That's where I feel like the generation gap is going in. Like, the females are more akin to females also. Are you listening to him, Sean? Hey, but listen. Listen.

Let's be honest. I'm just asking. Don't you like girls that like girls? Stop it. That's his daughter's fault. No, I know that's his daughter's, but see, that's the hypocrisy of us as people. Yes, I do. Alright, then. So I don't understand why you would be upset if

your girl likes another girl if you like girls that like girls. And they're still young, bro. Let them enjoy life experience things. Why they tell that to Dwyane Wade? Huh? Hey, I don't even know what you're talking about no more. I haven't followed the conversation. I was listening

and he started talking about being in the woods and being outside. No, he was saying that his daughters are online, and he feels like the fact that they're online and not outside playing in the woods, he said online is forcing them to be like girls, and he doesn't like it. That's what he was saying. How did the Instagram thoughts get a shot in this, though? I don't know how the Instagram thoughts. I don't even know how Dwayne Wade's daughter got a shot.

Is he saying that these young women are influenced by what they see on Instagram? I believe so. That's what he was trying to say. Oh, okay. All right. That's probably right. But people like what they like. I just think the hypocrisy that, you know, guys love girls that like girls until that girl is their daughter.

Yeah, but I think people are too sensitive. They're 10, 11, and 12. I mean, Charlamagne, didn't you run out the house dressed up as what girl group or boy group and your father smacked you in the back of the head and said, God, stop it? That never happened. I don't even know why you lie like that. Like, I mean, you just told a whole- Yes, you did.

Did he say something about that trouble? It's in your book. I've never said nothing like that. It's in your book. No, you just made a whole YouTube conspiracy theory lie up saying that I was dressed like a girl, somebody from a girl group and ran out of- That wasn't the story. And if you want to read the story,

go get my first book, Black Privilege Opportunity, comes to those who create it. But that definitely was not the story that interview told. It was just a fantasy. I thought you were dressing up as En Vogue in the book. That's what I thought.

Both of you guys are being disrespectful to your wives, man. You guys need to stop. As long as they're here listening to you guys, you guys have been a little too suspect with each other. You guys should just back it up and go ahead and go on a date, man, for real. Why do you want all that? Who wants all that? Well, I don't want that, but you guys want that. No, we don't.

What's up with you, man? Y'all so used to brothers not showing love to each other that you want us to date? Goodness gracious. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning. This is T. Hey, T, good morning. Is it disrespectful to my wife the way this man flirts with me?

No, T, is it disrespectful to my wife the way Envy flirts with me? I'm just going to have to side with Charlamagne on this one. Why? And I have to for two reasons. Number one, DJ Envy, he'll be clowning you anyway. So? What they got to do? This man bought me an ass.

He bought me an ass. You be assistant. If Charlamagne don't say nothing to you, like, look at this morning. Listen to your mom, Charlamagne. That's right. Because he was chewing. I was doing the program. We're doing a radio show, and he's chomping on air. Telling me to swallow and all

types of stuff. Like, what's up with that? That's what he thinks. Thank you, T. Love you, guys. Love you more. Hello, who's this? This is Tasha. Hey, Tasha. I'm just asking a question. Is it disrespectful to my wife the way this guy flirts with me?

Tasha, is it disrespectful to my wife the way Envy flirts with me? Come on, now. Honestly, if I was either one of your guys' wives, I would find it totally disrespectful the way that you guys flirt with each other. What? I don't flirt with that man. I don't flirt with him. You do. Both of you flirt. And I'm don't flirt with that man. You do.

Both of you flirt. And I'm curious to know who started it. He did. He did. I mean, it's one thing to be cool with your man, your friend, have a bromance and all that. But some of the stuff y'all say is crazy. Like what? Like if I was married.

Like what? First of all, the'all say is crazy. Like what? I would be like, if I was married. Like what? First of all, the little booty jokes and stuff. All that is like overboard to me. Tasha, let me tell you. If I was your wife and I heard another man commenting about my man's butt. I ain't never commented on his booty. I ain't never commented on his butt. Yes, both of you have.

Both of you have. And if I was the wife, I know that you guys are just playing, but it's like, man, it's so common. Y'all always do it. I'm all right. There's no moral in the story. Stop flirting with me. The moral of the story is, let's get a room.

What? I ain't playing with you. This guy is crazy. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Do you remember this? It's that time. Bring it back.

Check out the classic topic discussion. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're asking. This comes from Little Duval. Little Duval wanted to know what celebrity you think your mama mess with. It is very interesting watching these comments under Little Duval's post because I did not realize that so many people's mothers messed with so many celebrities.

So who mama is your mama's friend? I'm not going to put her business out there. I'm not going to do that.

Did you learn anything from that story, though? I did. But you know what's actually funny? A couple of years ago, we went to the ACL concert in Austin. And my friend actually ended up sleeping with ASAP Rocky. I said, well, you ain't learned nothing from the story. You ain't learned nothing from the story. You ain't learned nothing from the story.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.

For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.

It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard

her before listen to on purpose with jay shetty on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts dear god give me the strength to get through this interview maintain my mental stability support everybody in this room and all the things that they do dear god i know i come to you sometimes in desperate situations, but that's what desperate n****s do sometimes. In the name of God, we pray. Amen.

Amen. What's up? Chillin', sir. Damn, that what's up sounded aggressive. No, I don't know what. That's the only time I ever went to sleep thinking about an interview. Is that great?

No, huh? Well, first of all, start the interview. Well, we all, Donnell Rollins is here Well, first of all, start the interview. Darnell Rollins is here. I know y'all started the interview when y'all tested my nose downstairs, sir. I know y'all was praying for a positive. I know y'all was praying for a positive. They tested your nose? You know what they did. They f***ed my nose. My nose been getting

f***ed for the last year and a half. How deep did they go? Dear God, give me strength to make it through this interview without any negative energy. No, I got one one time

and I said, how deep you going? And the guy said, until I feel resistance. But I know you had COVID, so you should know. First off, that was a horrible transition.

No, but I said, you're not going to think you're going to test positive if you already just had it. No, not necessarily because with the crew

that we've been rolling with, we thought like once you get COVID you not a free pass but you got the antibodies in your system you wouldn't get it again but that was proven wrong because a couple of people in our team they got it for the second time did you give it to you no I didn't give it to you I think her squad gave it to me though I'm saying somebody said Donna how you got COVID? I said, probably it was that karaoke night when we did karaoke, and I was singing DMX for like an hour and a half. And it was like, who gave it to you? Rest in peace.

It was Natina, Yee, Shonda, Koya, about three Kims. They all had it? No, I'm not saying they all had it, but listen. Oh, God. There's certain things you can crack jokes about. That's not one of them. What, COVID? Yeah. Get that Donnell, you missed it too soon?

Get the f*** out of here, Donnell. No, I do crack, but it was a different situation because it was all... Because you got it. No, it was all funny games or two. Like, this is the whole thing with COVID. Not that it's all funny games, but it don't really hit home until it actually hits home. And then the case with us being in Yellow Springs all summer,

where we was testing every day, and nobody came up positive. So when it kind of hit our bubble, it was like, oh, this is real. And the first thing you do, you're concerned about your friends and your loved ones, and hopefully everything was okay. And in the case that when the bubble was busted in Austin, we was lucky enough for everybody to be okay. So I don't take it lightly. I don't crack jokes about it.

Man, Donnell, stop. I'm not going to lie. Donnell, be honest, because we had a group text going, right, as people were getting COVID. Right. And it was very, like, a lot of prayer hands in the group text. I didn't get all that thread, son. But then once everybody was okay, you started making jokes. You started the jokes first.

Now, last night you said you couldn't sleep. You said you were dreaming about this interview. Yeah. Why couldn't you sleep? Why? What were you doing about it? The reason why, because we all know I've been very aggressive on my jokes or too soon on my Instagram page. You be making jokes? Here's an example of it. He don't acknowledge the fire, son. What are you talking about?

The fire. Son, you know I've been smoking for a year and a half, son. When? All right, this is a good place for me to cut this. Well, when I do my version of this interview, I'm going to cut to it. I'm going to do a montage. I don't know what he's talking about. I'm going to do a montage. You've been doing all these jokes. Go ahead.

Yeah, I was doing all these jokes. I won't say this is a very anticipated interview, but people want to know what's the deal with you and the Breakfast Club. And wherever I go, whatever platform I speak on always say I got love for the breakfast you're alive that is a lot anybody say that I say I got a history where everybody and we'll get we say you have love for Angela you and DJ that's right now okay these are past interview I still got I

got still got love for Charlamagne. What do you mean still? Why would you not have love for me, Donnell, ever? Because you're disrespectful. You put an ass on my face for 32 minutes of a 39-minute interview. That never happened. Yes. And now it's on viral again. Let's go to the videotape. That never happened.

Let's cut to the videotape. That never happened. And then I was like, and everybody's like, okay, what is the situation? Are you working out? Can I answer? Okay, whose question am I going to ask? That was the question. Nobody asked anything.

And I was like this. I don't want this interview because I haven't been here in a year. I said I don't want the interview to go array on any stupid shit, right? Right. And I just want to explain my feelings on the relationship

that I have with The Breakfast Club, with Angela Yee, DJ Envy, and Fleece. Right? I just, I just was. did I have with The Breakfast Club, with Angela Yee, DJ Envy, and Fleece, right? I just, I just was. And these nicknames, I don't get these nicknames. I don't create these nicknames, sir. The Booty Bandit, that was one of the all-star. The Warrior. The Booty Warrior.

If you know the exact name of it, don't disrespect. Fleece is legendary. He's like, don't say my name wrong. Fleece is legendary as well as your legendary you know and i said to myself how did this all start how did it start it started with you mother me don't try to give me this serious journalistic look you plotted jokes on me every time i came in here envy every time i came in here like y'all got behind it y'all get together you're like how are we gonna get them how are we going to get them?

This went on one interview, two interviews, three interviews, four interviews. We have never plotted on you, Donnell. You're making all this stuff up, Donnell. But Donnell, you fell for it a lot. I didn't fall for none of it. When did I fall for it? The time when no one was laughing at your jokes. You fell for that. Then when you thought everybody left except me, you fell for that.

No, I didn't fall for that one. My situation is the reason why I'm here right now is because I'm being at Caroline's this week and the show's almost gone. I came up here because I wanted to show all of you. But I come and support you all the time. That's my point. Me too! F***er! When? Don't yell that and look at me. Donnell, stop.

I've been to your shows at Caroline's. I came to Radio City to see you and I said you was the funniest person on that stage. And Dave Chappelle was there that night. Marlon Wayans. Right. You said that.

Yes. And with that said, you would think that we have a different level of respect for each other, understanding that this is what this motherfucker doing. He's good for it. No. After we did that, here come the booties. So comedians. The booties came out.

Yo, Donnell, you're the funniest. You was on stage with Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle. You was the funniest one that night. Now take this ass. Is that how you reward your friends? No, Chris Rock wasn't there. That might be how he rewarded his friends. Okay, it was David Marlin.

So listen, so a comedian is mad that people are joking with him? Okay, first off, and you've created this narrative that I'm a sensitive comedian. I created that? Me? No, you didn't. We have to talk about that video, too. Your brilliant idiot friends did that, all right? I don't know. Okay, let's back it up. Donnell, you created that? Me? No, you didn't. We have to talk about that video, too. Your brilliant idiot friends did that, all right? I don't know.

Okay, let's back it up. Donnell, you created that narrative. No, no, no. You created a narrative that I'm sensitive. And guess what? Most comedians are sensitive. And I'm a Sagittarius, so that's double sensitive. So you are sensitive.

I'm like Ralph Trasvann on 10. By the way, before Brilliant Idiots, me and Donnell had a text conversation. I remember because I was in the airport. And this is the first time I realized you really was upset. And I started texting. I was like, why are you so goddamn sensitive? I wasn't sensitive about what? I don't remember what he was talking about.

One time you left here and you texted me and you was like, yo, y'all gotta stop disrespecting me, son. I need a serious interview, son. And that's what I want. And the reason why I'm saying after a career of 30 years, I think I could find more things to talk about than a booty in my face. That was one time.

No, but it went on and on. Then you walked out on me. Now, I will say, I need y'all to admit this. We never walked out on you. I need for you guys to admit this, though. We did.

That day when Donnell came here for a real interview, y'all did leave and he had his shows to promote and y'all really did not do anything. We've never walked out on Donnell. You're just lying. Go to the videotape.

This is going to be a very interesting interview. Alright, we got more with Donnell Rawlings when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Donnell Rawlings. Let me ask you a question, right? But you

walked out on an interview. Right. Why did you walk out on an interview? I'll explain this interview. I'm being serious. I'm not joking. Are you going to let me answer the question? Why are you getting so sensitive? I just want to, can we... We don't be doing that mother...

We got to continue. That's right. Reduce your anxiety. And remember what we talked about, because Dave, when you just performed here in New York with Dave Chappelle, he was like, I'm concerned about Donnell coming up to the Breakfast Club. Why?

Listen, I'm going to ask you a question. Okay, the question was, did I walk out of the interview? Why did you walk out of the interview? What was that podcast called, Donnell? That podcast, it was Kill Tony Podcast. Kill Tony. And boy, you were so happy when you got that video. I know you was like...

I didn't even see it. Okay, we're not going to be honest. Are we going to be honest with each other? We are. Can you get a different face? No, I'm asking a question. Can you do a different face? I'm asking a question.

No, you got the mother f***er. Oprah Winfrey s*** going on, son. I'm not going to cry. You're Prince Harry. Why you got to do your face? He don't want a serious interview. No, no, no. I'm serious.

Okay, seriously. I'm concerned. You walked away. I want to know why. Okay, I'll explain to you why. Tony Hinchcliffe is a good friend of seriously. No, no, no. I'm serious. I'm concerned. You walked away. I want to know why. Okay, I'll explain to you why. Tony Hinchcliffe is a good friend of mine. Tony, okay.

He has this podcast called Kill Tony. And in the podcast, what they do is like a group of amateur new comedians. They put their name in a jar. You pick your name. You get to perform for two minutes. When you perform for that two minutes, me as a person that's critiquing them or giving them advice, I can't say anything until they finish, right? About a year ago, I did that interview.

It did one of the guys, young guy, David Lucas, who was a very funny dude. I knew he was going to try to roast me, so I started roasting him. I killed him. I got a standing O. So I was in San Antonio because Kill Tony moved his operation to San Antonio. And he's been begging me to be on the pocket. So I was excited about doing it because he's my friend. And the thing that really made me excited

was that his band, it used to be a white band. It was an all black band. It's all white performers the whole night, right? A black comedian finally gets on stage and I'm showing him love.

I didn't tear down any of those young people the whole show. I gave them good sound advice somewhat of what I did for Mass Rehab Comedy. Yeah. Shout out for that.

I gave him good advice, right? And I don't know if the black dude, I'm not even going to say his name because I don't even want to. Don't disrespect that man. No, because like when people say, who was it? It's like, who?

That answers the question. Wow. So he turned around and I had a couple of drinks that night. He turned around and he started roasting me. He was hilarious. Okay.

He did his own TV show. Here we go. So he started roasting me and it threw me all off. It felt He did his own TV show. Here we go. So, he started roasting me and it threw me all off. It felt like black on black crime. You know, I was excited that he was a brother doing it. Yo,

you know what's up, right? Let me, I'm telling you what happened. I'm telling you, this is what happened. In that process, I'm saying,

and I already told Tony I had something else to do. I wasn't going to be able to be there that long. So, I was like, why am I here to get roasted by amateur comedian that i think that's using his platform for the wrong thing why you just ain't tear his

ass up though because i it threw me off guard i don't want first off i'm not a roasting comedian i tell people i get invited to all these roasts or every year i was like I tell them I'm too sensitive. And I tell them straight up. Why are you mad? I said you're sensitive. I'm trying to explain it one question at a time. Continue, continue. Talk to me again. So I was a little rattled.

And I had a couple of drinks, right? And when Donnell drinks, he is a completely different person. It's time to party. You know what I'm saying? It's time to party. Hey. So what you saw, the edited clip, what we call in the streets, the doctored clip that he created and generated. I want to.

You're a liar. Okay. The doctored clip. The doctored clip that he put together. Me? It didn't represent what happened that night. It made it look like the dude did a joke, right? And I left the stage.

That's what it did. I know it looked like that. That's called a doctored video. The same way I put you on Cardi B's face. The way I have you looking you make those I think those it's part of my team all right we're not gonna be I just want to honest interview are we gonna be honest are we gonna lie my team make the streets are not here for this interview July all right so you walked out so what happened we walked out did they boo you what did they say not even boo me that's another thing then the sequence of events, it didn't happen that way.

We had already had our exchange. I stayed maybe 15 to 20 minutes later. And then my sister that was there, Heather, I said, yo, let's get the f*** out of here. I got to go to dinner. I got up. But they got the video clip and made it look like he cracked a joke. He cracked a joke and I got up. That's not what happened.

Who was they? Who was they? The people. The Charlemites. The Charlemites. They Who was they? The people. The Charlemites. The Charlemites. They had nothing to do with that. The Charlemites. The motherfuckers that listened to everything this motherfucker said.

I had nothing to do with that. And they made a scene like that. And another thing that was very insulting. They even, they were so desperate in me. They found a way to make me feel bad about this little chain that I wore around my neck. I defended you for wearing that chain. You're a liar. Your man said, Andrew Schultz said, a man should never

wear a man's necklace around his neck. I said, I wear Duval's chain. That's not what I heard. While he's alive. Which let me understand that Andrew Schultz don't believe in giving people their roses while they're still living.

I wear this chain. It's not represent just Dave Chappelle. It's a brand. It represents a brand. And I was a part of this brand's history. Yes, you are. So I'm not going to tuck it. And I'm going to wear it proudly.

Can we get to the root of your sensitivity? I want to talk. I'll tell you the root of my sensitivity. And you're probably the same root of your sensitivity. Yes, sir. Go at my family or go at my career and then I'm gonna be You automatically get another level of You're a foreskin type, sir. But you know, Donnell works very hard to do what he does. Dave said Donnell is the funniest comedian that he knows.

And so I can understand that you work really hard at something. You don't want nobody trying to tear you down. No, it's not tear. Okay. Donnell is jokes. I say when you, but you're not the comedian. That's like me sitting up. Who thought of that? Yo, that's like me up here trying to get you to believe in mental health.

Ain't nobody going to believe in this. Why not? They ain't going to believe mental health is coming for me, son. Imagine that. I get serious like this, and I post one of those, what level of mental health you are. This is so mental health. This got me crazy trying not to be crazy. You know what I'm saying?

It's like I'm not going to come up here and say that I know all about mental health. I know the struggles. I know anxiety. I know all that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not making jokes, though. You try to make. What would you say to Charlamagne right now?

He's saying he's in, not a young lady. You want to clear the air. Say what you want to say to Charlamagne. Get it off your chest. I don't want to start over. I want to keep going. I'm about to drop a video as soon as I get out of here. The only reason I didn't do it is because I thought

you were going to cancel my interview. I had eight joints just stacked up, son. I was like, I'm going to hit them with this. Can we do a real interview now? Let me tell you something. I want to say, listen, I love Darnell. I've said Darnell funniest shit all the time.

I just don't like him being so sensitive. There's nowhere on record where you said that all the time. In fact, when I come up here and I try to tell my shit, when I was coming up here trying to promote Soul, which won an Academy Award and swept on all here and I try to tell my s***, when I was coming up here trying to promote Soul, which won an Academy

Award and swept on all awards, I try to tell you about that s***. I was talking about my father. You laughed in my face. You, d***a! Me? You, the d***a, that just had another baby. Shout out to your annual baby shower you're about to have. You laughed in my face when I brought my book

out here. You laughed in my face. You didn't have a book. It was a start. It was a start. It was a start. As a neutral person, I will say this. A, yes, and B, you should not laugh at his father. I watched you on that show on Netflix. But B.

He dead. Don't pay attention. I never heard that. I never heard that. Let's go to the video. Boy, I can't wait to put all this shit together. That book was not ready for you to show us. That book was a pamphlet.

It was an idea. It was a start, all right? You killed my dreams. And I love Soul. Only part I didn't like in Soul was the barber. Whoever the barber was, the voice didn't fit the body of the barber. You mean the one that had the most pivotal, iconic scene of the entire movie? You mean Soul?

You mean the role? The role that wasn't even on paper that Kemp Power told Pete Docter, we need to get this connected to the hood. And Pete Docter said, I need you to write the scene. You wrote the scene. You mean the role that I didn't even...

You was in the Soul? They put me on it. Des the barber. Google it. I did not know that. Look that up. You mean the role that they're possibly thinking about doing a spin-off.

That role, well, if you don't remember it. Yes, that's what it was. And, by the way, amazing for your son to be able to see you in that role because he loves that movie. My son, like, I think I've done things in my career and nothing can match up to anything I've done other than my son seeing

me on a Pixar Disney film. Seriously, though, think about the first time in your life ever when you remembered a feeling of feeling like somebody was trying you. Do you remember that? I don't. People don't usually try me. So what causes you to be sensitive? It had to be something.

When's the first time you walked out of someplace because you was upset? I don't walk out. I never walk out. When's the first time you felt disrespected? That's a tough question. I really don't know out. I never walk out. When's the first time you felt disrespected? That's a tough question. I don't know how to... I really don't know how to answer... What's the most disrespected you ever felt in your life?

When a booty was in my face for 30 minutes. That probably was... That probably was... Why didn't you move it? You don't like booty in your face? I don't like... Okay, booty in my face is one thing. Booty with a...

It's a whole different level, son. I don't know how y'all play and how y'all get your ass off. Your bedroom is your bedroom. You know what I'm saying? But I just don't like that. All right, we got more with Donnell Rawlings

Out of everything I thought I've done in my career. Like, to paint the narrative that this is not funny. Who did that? To paint the narrative. Like, the times I've come up here, it's like when I talk about the things I've done, you talk about other people. I understand that. But I'm like this. Where is the respect to what I do?

Where's the respect of whatever I've established in the comedy world? And I say that, not just comedy, like all of this, everybody in this room, I've done this. I was at Hot 97. When you was at nighttime, when you was like this,

I know the money is in the morning. No, no, you're digressing from the question. No, he's getting to a point. What I mean, you did more of this together. I don't know if you remember. Yeah, I know you're digressing from the question. No, he's getting to a point. Don, I mean, you did more of this together. I don't know if you remember. Yeah, I know. You used to try to clown me

because you didn't think I could read out loud. I got $100 if you could read this right here. I don't want to do that. You can read out loud, Don. No, I don't need the $100. Give me a house.

$100. Don't make fun of somebody's illiteracy now. This is what we used to do back in the day. I got $100. But we have music and everything, son.

Don't do that. Let me see. Don't do that. Let me see. Don't do that. Go. Which one? The top. Go. Watch out.

Donahair's peer. Wait a minute. Just wait, son. Donahair. You can't say nothing, son. Go. Let me see. I'll give a second chance.

They was like, yo, we got a role. I was like, yeah, I'll be playing Magic Johnson's father, right? Come to, I was playing Magic Johnson's father's friend. I was so happy. I had an acting gig. I'm like, I'm out. But what was your other question? I apologize for hurting you.

He apologizes for radio. Apologize for radio? No, not hurting you on radio. Not hurting. It's a hurt. Not a hurt. Not a hurt. It's a misunderstanding. It's not. I called Don. I say Donnell is one

of the funniest stand-up comics. I actually said Donnell was the funniest stand-up comic at one point. Even though I think Andrew got that now. That's just my personal opinion. On stage, stand-up.

Okay, first, let me explain this. See, what you are doing, you're comparing the success of somebody, the popularity of somebody with their skill set. No, let me explain this. See, what you are doing, you're comparing the success of somebody, the popularity of somebody. No, it's a skill. No, it's a skill.

No, not, you said one of the funniest. Andrew Schultz, no disrespect, but he's done a great job for himself. You know what I'm saying? He's figured a pivot. He entered the world with you with Brilliant Idiots. He's a podcast dude, and he found his lane. And I respect anybody, and this was without the help of networks or anything. I respect that. But when you say the funniest, that's a tough dude And he found this land And I respect anybody And this was Without the help Of networks or anything I respect that

But when you say The funniest That's a tough one to call It's just for the moment It changes It's seasons right Right All jokes aside

I really do love you And I appreciate you And I apologize If I hurt you I would like to offer you A gift No it's nothing crazy It's nothing crazy

That's like a booty box It is not a booty box Ain't no booties in there bro Come on It's nothing crazy. That's like a booty box. It is not a booty box. Ain't no booties in there, bro. Come on. It's something good for your mental health. It can help you relieve stress, all types of shit. I don't know what it is.

What? Just while it's up, mother******. What is it? You know what it is. It's the same gift you got and you use. What is it? It's a box of ding-a-lings. You got a box of ding-a-lings? it? It's a box of ding-a-lings. You got a box of ding-a-lings. No, you got a box.

You re-gifted it. You re-gifted it. You re-gifted it. How come there's no wrapper on it? Because it's been used. It's been used, son. It's open. I am so happy we could find a bubble and re-collapse.

Donnell, how do you feel about comedy returning to New York? I'm very excited about it. I'm also excited that part of the return, I'll be at Caroline's on Broadway. You're opening up Caroline's back up. Yeah, we're reopening. I think it's time. So it's Thursday or Friday?

Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Memorial weekend. Gotta love it. I'll be there. Congratulations on all your success. What is that? Is that the outro joint? No. You got a whole new set, I'm sure, after being with- Yeah, I always get come this weekend. Memorial weekend. Gotta love it. I'll be there. Well, congratulations on all your success.

What is that? Is that the outro joint? No, I'm sorry. You got a whole new set, I'm sure, after being with- Yeah, I always have a new set. I always have a new set. And in a couple of months, I'm gonna be doing my special. Woo!

That's gonna be produced by Pilot Boy. I thought Dave was gonna EP it. That's it. Pilot Boy. That's it. I was gonna ask, what do your friends say about your relationship with Charlamagne? This is a question I always get. What's up with you and Charlamagne?

Like, is it real or is it fake? I say, let's just say it's like WWF, WWE. It's entertainment. It is your choice to decide on what it is. I do have something. That's not true. Donnell would really be mad. I do.

He'd be texting me. He'd really be mad. Which brings me back to high school where I'm like, I'm going to pick on the person who I know I'm bothering. That's all. Dude, you're going to pick on him. I'm going to go hard. It's been a year.

Like, you pick on me. It's been longer than that. I know. I can't stop. How do I get involved with it? You always throw me in the mix. Don't you buy association? When you go spray the block,

when you go up to the block, they don't be like, Amy, watch out. I don't want to shoot you. If you stand beside that, you're going to get it, too. I'm going to get shot, and I'm going to be doing nothing. Yo, but don you stand beside that, you're going to get it too. I'm going to get shot and I'm going to be doing nothing. Yo, but don't stand beside me.

You know when it's about to get hot. Lights don't know when it's about to pop off. You're like, oh, am I going to get shot standing beside Charlamagne? Yes. Y'all get together. You just put penises on my timelines. No, we don't. Yes, we did.

Y'all put eggplants on my for like three days. Who did that? All y'all did. Y'all put eggplants in my **** for like three days in the restaurant. Who did that? All y'all did. Y'all be like, we finally got him. Y'all do that so whoever's close to it gets the association.

I think there's nothing wrong with you and Dave's relationship and I think that anybody who got a problem with you and Dave's relationship don't understand friendship or loyalty. They don't understand

what friendship is. They don't understand what loyalty is and I'm loyal to him. He's loyal to me. And it's not your fault that your friend is one of the greatest comics ever? My friend would And it's not your fault that your friend is one of the greatest

comics ever? My friend would say it's not the fault that Donnell is one of the greatest comedians ever. Absolutely. Which I told you.

And Dave will say Donnell is the funniest person I know. So it means more when Dave says it? Compared to you? Yes. It does, yes.

It definitely does. F*** that. You ain't gonna get my nip to hell. F*** that. One thousand percent. We appreciate you for joining us. I'm not leaving. But you that. You ain't gonna get my n***a. F*** that. One thousand percent. We appreciate you for joining us. I'm not leaving.

But you always say, I don't say that. And I say that all the time. But then you'll be like, oh, this person's funnier than you. This person's funnier than you. I'm doing that to f*** with him. He know that. I know, but he take it personally. He sensitive.

That's why I do what I do to f*** with you. And it's not, the minute I leave this, I'm posting some f***.

What happened was they did try to cancel it. So I had done that like, yeah, I don't think it's going to happen. We did that on purpose, though. I took a deep breath.

I took a deep breath. He did. And then he was like, all right'ma just chill out i'm not gonna say nothing and then they and then eddie hit me back and said okay we can do it at nine but it was like an hour later and i was like i had to go check his timeline to make sure he didn't post nothing i was about to go blast and then we were gonna cancel you again today when you was downstairs we're gonna take the cameras i would have been real mad about that i got great go to yellow streets right now it was the thing about being desperate to do this

Don L. Rollins. Don L. Rollins. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary?

Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supremeest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.

I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go.

Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I

discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like, grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're gonna figure out

the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, listen, if you hear me talking to you right now, that means I'm not really here.

Okay, we're on vacation. It's a best of show. But, you know, Donkey of the Day, I remember 10 years ago when I started this segment, I said that I hope that one day, you know, it'll grow to be a legendary, you know, radio segment. It's still not up for me to say that, but we've had some pretty good ones. Okay, they say this one is a classic. Here you go. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumb ass.

You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumb ass. You are a donkey. It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlamagne to tap these gloves.

Let's go. They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. I got chills. Okay. Who's donkey of the day today? I tell you, as soon as I swallow my fish oil pill, Ed, hold on.

Mmm. Mmm. All right. Okay. Donkey of the day goes to a Michigan man named Nathaniel Saxton. Now, someplace somewhere today, there is someone getting ready for court. That court may be virtual. I'm sure some places who have resumed in-person court hearings. But if you have ever, you know, had to be in a courtroom like I have, one of the first things a lawyer is going to tell you to do is look presentable. Hell, people who love you, who have been through the court system before,

will tell you, wear a suit, get a haircut. I remember I was in court one time for appointing and presenting a firearm, and my attorney told the judge, look at his shoes. Look at the shoes he's wearing, because they were nice. They were actually some rust-colored leather Timberlands, so I don't know what was special about them. But I ended up getting probation, so it must have worked. Salute to Stephen Davis from Moscow in South Carolina.

Drop on a Clues Bonds, Stephen Davis. His son's an attorney now, too. They always tell you to dress conservative in court. Something you would wear to church, work, or a nice social function. Anybody who tells you otherwise is trying to get you tricked off the street. Google look presentable in court and see what comes up. Y'all don't believe humans anymore. You're not going to believe your Uncle Charles.

Believe your laptops or your phones. Just Google look presentable in court, and it'll say be well-groomed and presentable. You'll want to style your hair or at least keep it tamed and in place. Shave. Or if you have facial hair, make sure your beard or mustache is neatly pruned. What does that mean? What does pruned mean? Like trimmed.

Oh, okay, okay. It also says brush your teeth, trim your fingernails, wear deodorant, treat this like a job interview or first date. The moral of the story is be presentable in court, okay? I don't know how any of this works via Zoom, but, you know, we've all seen enough Zoom interviews over the past year to know that people still show up looking spiffy, at least from the waist up. OK, we may have basketball shorts on the bottom. Women might wear sweats at the bottom, but at least from the waist up, you know, we're presentable.

OK, now in this virtual world, a lot of us, when we get on these Zooms, we have nicknames as our names. Like, you know, when I'm on a Zoom, my name is Radio Face. So when I'm on Zoom, it's Radio Face. When I'm doing something like I was doing yesterday because we had a virtual book event for Queen Tamika Mallory because her new book, State of Emergency, How to Win in the Country We Built, is out. We had that for the Scram bookstore. My name was presented as Lenard C. de God McKelvey. Or I might have just been Charlemagne de God. Either way, that's presentable. But if I was in court, best believe my name would just be leonard mckelvey right that's just a

presentable way to do things well nathaniel saxton didn't get that memo see on yesterday nathaniel was in court and judge jeffrey middleton presided over the zoom conference that included eight people with matters before the court. I'm just going to sit back and let this whole exchange play out because this is what you call comedy gold. Matter of fact, for the sense of humor that I have, the type of things that I like to laugh at, this is comedy platinum. Matter of fact, this is diamond. Listen to how Nathaniel Saxton presented himself in court. Listen. Good morning, sir.

What's your name? Nathaniel Saxton, sir. court. Listen. Good morning, sir. What's your name? Nathaniel Saxton, sir. Your name's not ButtF***er3000, you yo-ho. Logging into my court with that as your screen name? What kind of idiot logs into court like that? What's your name again? Nathaniel Saxton, sir, but I don't believe that I typed anything like that in. Well, that's what it says.

Well, I apologize. Yeah, you should. I'll put you in the waiting room. You can sit in limbo for a while and think about what you call yourself online. Ah, I think Judge put him in the waiting room because he wants to talk to him after the court is over. Judge

Jeffrey Middleton asked a very valid question. What kind of idiot logs into court with a name like that? I'll tell you what kind of idiot. The kind of idiot who thinks he's outsmarting the judge. See, why would you ever send someone named Butt F for $3,000 to jail? Sounds to me like jail would be a fun house for Butt F for $3,000. Okay, I hate that he uses $3,000. Andre Benjamin didn't spit one of the greatest rap verses ever on Y'all Scared off the Equimini album. like jail would be a fun house for butt effer 3000 okay i hate that he uses 3000 andre benjamin

didn't spit one of the greatest rap verses ever on y'all scared off the equimini album for y'all to take his name and put a butt effer in front of it but you think he but nathaniel saxton thinks he's slick this is the equivalent of the guy in training day remember the movie training day when the three wise men are talking to alonzo and they're talking to him about how one of the guys got off because the dude put peanut butter in the back of his pants and stuck his hands in his pants and then pulled his hand out, covered in peanut butter and licked his finger clean. And then the judge just sent him to a psych ward for like six months or something. That's what Nathaniel Saxton was hoping happened in this situation. The judge would never send someone who loves the F butts to jail. Woody.

Now, in Nathaniel's defense, he didn't say what kind of butt. How many different flavor of butts are there, Envy? I mean, I know there's male, there's female. What is it? Cheddar and sour cream, sour cream and onion? I'm not familiar with this subject, sir. Chili cheese cheeks? What's your favorite flavor, Envy? I don't have a favorite flavor. You're a liar,

Envy. Okay, your username used to be butt effer for the nine nines in 2000s. Is that true? I don't have anything else to say about this other than play it again. Your name's not butt f***er 3000, you yo-ho. What is a yo-ho? What is a yo-ho?

What is a yo-ho? Is that somebody's username? I think that they were seeing eye to eye. The judge was like, oh, you're a butt effer. I'm a yo-ho. What is a yo-ho? Some donkey of the day just saw themselves. Please give Nathaniel Saxton the biggest he-ho.

No. No. Okay, okay, okay. Yes, let's do it! I guess we'll play a game of Guess What? Race it is! That's all right. Let's play. Nathaniel Saxton of

Michigan showed up in virtual court with the name, the screen name, Butt Effa 3000. Angela Yee, guess what race he is. The only reason I'm going to say African-American is because of you guys. What does that mean? Excuse me, Angela Yee? What? Well, you guys are black, and I can see that being your name, too.

Why? Whoa. That's racist. Okay. I don't know if it is. I just want to say that. I was like, what? Nathaniel Saxton.

Oh, okay. Nathaniel Saxton from Michigan in virtual court with the screen name Butt Effort 3000. DJ Dramos, guess what? Race is! This is white privilege at its finest, man. Yeah, I can see why

you say that. Yeah. That's what it is. Only somebody that has a level of privilege and entitlement would show up with that name. DJ Envy. Yes, sir. Nathaniel Saxton from Michigan. Stole your screen name but updated it by 1,000 years. His screen name is Butter for 3,000.

Guess what race he is. I'm going white. Is that what flavor butt you want, Envy? Is that your final answer? I'm going white. Only white people play these type of games with judges like this. Well, DJ Dramos and DJ Envy, you are absolutely correct. I knew it, guys.

I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. Nathaniel Saxton, you're absolutely right. Only a white man would play with the judge in this way. Only a white man. Are you out of your damn mind? I need to know what charge he was facing.

And that's the other reason I know he was white, because? I need to know what charge he was facing. And that's the other reason I know he was white because they didn't tell you what charge he was facing in the goddamn the New York Post or whatever. Where did I get that from?

Daily News, one of them. I'm just going to tell you I'm offended. I'm offended what you said. Because you guys do this all the time. So I thought he was black. I just, when he said

butt effort, I was like, Charlamagne Thaumatized, he's black. But we don't know what flavor butt it was. We don't know if it was male, female, chili cheese cheeks. We don't know.

I guess I just affiliated it with y'all. Wow. Thanks. Alright. Well, I'm glad you think of us in that way. Alright. What you call butt effing, we call bonding. That's what we call it now? Goodness gracious. Alright. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, bro, I'm going to smile, because what the f*** is Charlamagne right here,

DJ Envy, he right there? What's happening? We live. F*** you talking about? Now, you started off in the church. Yes, sir, yes, sir. Okay. The church played a good role in my life.

I ain't going to lie. God is always first. I don't care what I do. I don't care what I say. I don't care how my life is. He number one. And your mom made you sing, I Believe I Can Fly,

which got you in the choir, because you do a lot of singing in your music. Yeah, yeah. She embarrassed me, but it's cool. That's what mothers do. She put me in the most purplest suit she could find. I don't know if she went to embarrassyourkid.com and ordered that shit,

but her and my grandma put me in front of the church and made me sing I Believe I Can Fly, R. Kelly, in front of the whole church. And I was nervous until people started saying, you better go ahead, boy. When you hear that, oh, bitch, I Can Fly R. Kelly in front of the whole church and I was nervous until people started saying you better go ahead boy when you hear that oh bitch I done did something how many times

your mom made you sing that song in front of company man not that song a lot the songs my mom used to sing a lot was Fill My Cup it's a gospel song

Fill my cup let it overflow it's a gospel song it's an older song I grew up Jehovah Witness so I wouldn't know you was heavy I can't relate brother but, but I love you.

But you turned into the head of the choir. Yeah, no cap. My mother, when I was little, she ran the children's choir. So you know I had to be number one. That's my mother. What's she going to say? Oh, so it was nepotism. It wasn't because you was the best singer?

No. It was nepotism. Come on, brother. I don't know I wasn't the best. Yeah. So where did you turn left? Because you were a gospel singer. You were in the know. I wasn't the best. Yeah. So where did it turn left? Because you were a gospel singer. You were in the choir.

You went through the church. And then it went left somewhere. And then you went to the street. And then you started running in people's houses. So when did it turn left? I ain't going to lie. When I moved from North Carolina, I moved to PA at like 12. That's when it was hard to get acclimated to the city life.

And I ain't going to lie. I started following everybody because I felt like I had to fit in somewhere. Why'd you move from North Carolina to Pennsylvania? I love my mother So I'm say this first she did her best But you know, it's hard when you raising the kid by yourself I got kicked out of a lot of schools So we had to keep changing districts So we had to move with her sister in Pennsylvania cuz we had nowhere to go

So we ended up staying there for like six years and and that was the six years Well, where I realized what the f*** I didn't want to do with my life. I wonder, right, at what point did you realize your mom was just doing her best? Because sometimes we hard on our parents until we get older. So when did you realize that she was just doing her best?

When I had my own kids. I started putting myself in her shoes, understanding she really did her f***ing best. She couldn't do it better with me. Thank you, Mama. And what were you getting kicked have done it better with me. Thank you, mama. What were you getting kicked out of school for? Fighting. But you played football.

You had the whole football team behind you. No cap. I played football and then I was in the alternative school so I had to walk from my school to the other school to play football. I ended up getting told by the teacher and headbutting him and whatnot

and he's in a fight. You f***ing teacher? I was a very... Explain the story. We need details. Matter of fact, take your coat off if you want to And I got love for you homie no cap but um I was dating a girl she was in high school

And I was at our school, so I was like I feel sensitive I love you can with the beaten them cheeks up? You know how you do vibes. You feel me? Can I beat those cheeks up? Nope. Check yes or no, maybe. I was young, so that's all I cared about. So I was like, yeah, I wrote her a little letter.

In my mind, it was super sensitive, super sweet. I folded it up, put a little envelope writing on it. So he like, yo, what you doing? I said, yo, the teacher said I can go ahead and write a letter. So go ahead and chill out. I done my work, because I always got done first. He like, nah, grandma shit. Ripped it and threw it in the trash. I'm like, yo, bro, you teacher said I can go ahead and write a letter. So go ahead and chill out. I done my work. Because I always got done first. He like, nah, grandma. Ripped it through in the trash.

I'm like, yo, bro. You know how I give it up. Please stop. Because I don't even want to. I don't. Because I f*** with him. I'm like, yo, I don't even want to take a day with you, bro. Like, I got to chill.

You feel me? I wrote it again. Boy, I tried to grab the other one. I say, yo, bro. I'm about to peel you. This is weird now. And it's a teacher? No cap. It's an alternative school.

Like, is it a gym teacher? No. They like to grab you, slam you. Yeah. Oh you slam you like yeah it's not like a teacher they call intervention specialist okay when a teacher can handle you they call the come grab you and me so that's what he was I'm like yo bro you got a chill cuz like we're not by the club ought to be easy for you like nobody just throw me around so chill out boy don't stand I wrote it again. He grabbed it, and I was like, fuck it. Headbutt.

So you was one of them kids, because they had me in these classes for a minute. Your discipline was so bad that they put you in the remedial classes? No, it wasn't. It was, all right, boom. I went to the middle school, and then I was too bad for the regular school, so they put me in the trailers in the back. And then the trailers in the back, I was too much, so they kind of built a school for kids like me. And I was in that school much so they kind of built a school for kids like me and I was in that school

and I kind of couldn't graduate to go to like you go there for a while and then they let you out go to the other school but I haven't made it that far did they make you eat lunch earlier than everybody else too

nah y'all bonding right now well you know we understanding now but I do understand those solid lunches so I definitely had a couple of those

you feel me like going to court and eat while your dad is tripping they had me court and eat like a damn sucker. Tripping. They had me in those for like a semester. Goddamn white cheese, ham, bread, and white milk. Who the fuck would eat that shit?

What do you think about that education? Like if you had to say something for parents now whose kids are being put in special classes, what do you think about that? Like do you think it's helpful? Do you think it hurts? What do you think needs to be done for real i ain't gonna a lot of times when i act up it was because of stuff that i was lacking in my household or lacking in my life so even like now i realize i was really just acting out because i really miss my my pop or like i really miss my my family and i i was just looking for the wrong attention when i could have

went about it the wrong way i didn't know that until now so i think parents got to understand like if your kid is acting up, your kid's acting out, try to figure out what's going on. Because it may be something that they're not telling you or don't know how to express before you just beat their ass. Like, be on some shit like,

yo, talk to me. Like, it's okay. It's okay you feel scared. It's okay you feel upset. It's okay. But tell me why you're feeling this way. Let's go through the motions. Because at the end of the day,

a conversation can save everything. That's true. Now, listen, after you headbutted a dude, what happened? They put me in ISS. I got arrested. He didn't swing back? I mean, did he fight back? I mean, of course.

They all jumped on me and pulled me around. After that, they called the cops. I got arrested. Went to the little jail thingy, whatever it could be. They let me on probation. I went to court again. And I got locked up for like 18 months. Damn.

I seen somewhere that you got your GED where you was yeah I got my GED but I wanted to play football when I came out but you know I got kicked out of the alternative school which was my last resort so I'm gonna happen but I hope so I can get my GED come on to go to high school but so you got your GED thought you go back to high school I don't know I thought like I can get that and then get that to like a bonus like this ain't the real diploma now a big decision of the song big decisions you say you had to start taking care of yourself since you were not yeah why well like I said my mom worked a lot so there's a lot of time like I had to watch myself and I when

you a black kid you understand like the shit. Don't open the door. Don't answer the phone. Sit your ass down. Watch TV. There's lunchables in there. Relax. So a lot of times with the selling candy for school, my mom wasn't there to monitor that. So when they would give me the cash, I kept that shit.

Yeah, they give you them chocolate bars and sell it for a dollar. I didn't give them nothing. They was pre-ordering. I was getting the cash for the pre-orders. So I didn't have shit to give you. You were just giving me money. And I'm like, yo, how much is this? That's like

$1,000. It was like $400. I mean, it's like a million dollars right now. I'm buying bikes and candies for the hood. I'm flexing. Like, no, I bought an ice cream truck. He was loving me. That's how you can't do it. I was f***ing up. Balling up. Buying everybody.

Spongebobcy's for everybody. What's up? Gumball eyeballs and everything was lit. All right, we have more with Moray when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired?

Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy.

There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country?

My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets.

We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.

what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.

It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And so, can we talk about that? Like, just you having to work because you had a family to support at the same time. Yeah, like, everybody, like, if you hear before they rap,

they was a big dope, dope head, big dope guys. Nah, I had a 95. You feel me? I work because I didn't want to do that shit no more. How many kids do you have? Three.

Like, I do you have? Three. Three, okay. So I didn't want to get locked up again because I already got caught up on a f***ing weed charge in North Carolina.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jesus Christ, the seat was hot. You never did it? You never put your hand in the cookie jar a little bit? I can't for a couple reasons. I don't want it to be done to me. Yeah. Because I know I got a hell of karma coming to me.

I don't want that kind of karma. But it's like, damn. Brother. Damn, I'm hungry. This account look juicy, bitch. I need this account. What's the most you ever seen? I seen, it was a retired football player.

I forgot his name. He had $1.7 million in his account. And he was complaining about a $3 fee he received. A $3 fee? You see? People like DJ Envy, I didn't like them. I was like, yeah, true. But it's money that you knew was coming

out. Check images cost $3, sir. You wanted a check image. $3, sir. You wanted your face and your old team on your check. Yeah, you got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So during that time with these ad. Yeah, you got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, oh, God. So during that time with these ad jabs, you were writing music and you were performing also, right?

Yeah, I was writing my music. I was going to the studio. I was performing at little clubs. I was trying my best to still do it. But when you got a nine to five and your money count for all your bills, it's f***ing hard to pay for $4 studio time. I was like, God, man, every time, guys, $4? I can't get a free day and I come back and

slot that shit in? You did Uber and you also did construction. Yes. So how was Uber? I wouldn't want you as an Uber driver. You might be a little chatty.

Makes for a great interview. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But as an Uber driver, I don't know. No, as an Uber driver, I definitely was chatty as shit. And people love you

One star rating for you, sir. Oh, God. As you should. Now go ahead and skedaddle. Skedaddle. Now, you mentioned your wife. You give her credit for help taking your rap career to the next level, right? Of course. My wife is, that's my rock.

I ain't gonna lie to you. I ain't always been the perfect man. I ain't gonna lie. I pretend like I am. But that's my dog. That's my homie. That's my friend. That's my best.

That's my everything. And I gotta give her that credit. Because at the end of the day, without her, I probably still writing the same song I've been writing. Because everybody told me I had a whole bunch of, yes, man. Oh, that's hot. That's my best. That's my everything. And I got to give her that credit because at the end of the day, without her, I'd probably still be writing the same song I've been writing because everybody told me I had a whole bunch of, yes, man, oh, that's hot.

And how long should women stay with them? The fact that y'all stayed down until y'all came up, man, that's big, man. No, that almost never happens. And she didn't have to. She had plenty of reasons to leave me. And she always told me, like, as long as you don't hurt me to the point where, like, I can't come back, I understand. And now I understand I would never try to hurt you again. Even though I'm in a spot

and, like, no cap, to all the females that's been in my DM, please stop. I love y'all, but my wife gonna f*** me up for y'all, so listen. So was you cheating when you was broke? I f***ed up one time. No cap. I did. And she forgave me. She didn't have to. And I didn't even expect... And my mom was already divorced. We was married at the time. We was already divorced. I said, And she forgave me. She didn't have to. And I didn't even expect.

And my mom was already divorced. We was married at the time. We was already divorced. I said, she about to leave me. She stuck with me. Granted, I had to work hard as f***. But I was willing to take that. I was willing.

Bro, no cap. She could have been a d***head. She could have cheated back. She could have done whatever she wanted to do. But she didn't. That's got to be the worst feeling to hurt somebody that's done so much for you. Bro, no cap. When I look at my wife, I get very sensitive because I understand, like, that's my blessing.

Like, my wife is like, I can't even explain who she is. I can explain that, like, she's my everything. Well, don't move. We have more with Marae when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart?

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Moray, Charlamagne. You know, one of my

favorite, I think it is my favorite record of yours so far, Switched Up. Okay, yeah, yeah. Is that based on a true story? Yeah, like, no, Switched Up is based on a lot of events that happened in my life with people who showed me their true colors. And people who show you their true colors, you gotta the one when they tell you what they are in the beginning They always show you it's always you always have a first instinct like this But like you you let it pass because at the end of day you try to give us a chance and beat it who they

They gonna be but then they show you who they really are Now you surprised does that happen when the money started coming in or not before the money? Like I think it was the worst for me as far as, like, people switching up. Because when you broke, you don't got a sugar coat. How do you feel about you? Because you broke. Who gives a fuck? Like, you a bum, you this, you that, you that.

I'm going to fuck with you. Like, people will walk out your life easy when you can't give them nothing. But I feel like it's harder now with money because they're going to say yes and say hell yeah because you got money now. So it's hard to tell who switched up when you rich because at the end of the day, they're going to play that role while you're around regardless. You pulled a gun out for your guy? You're a funny guy. How'd you say I switched up? I mean, yeah, you feel me?

But yeah, you know what I mean? We're going to say I always have my back and he know who he is. You think there's ever any chance for reconciliation? Yeah, yeah, of course. He wrote me the other day. I'm like, yo, what's up? How you been? I see you turned up. I ain't trying to write you on some shit, like, cause you popping, but just want to say good luck on

your success. And see, that's the worst, right? Cause now you don't know who you, who you can trust cause you popping. Exactly. You never wrote me before, but I know you heard the song.

If people know anything about North Carolina, North Carolina produces some great lyricists, man. You're talking Fontaine Poole from Lil' Brother. You're talking J. Cole. You're talking Rhapsody. You're talking DaBaby. You're talking about Josie Moe, who I love. None of them ever reached out?

Like Cole or DaBaby? I heard rumors you was supposed to sign to Dreamville at one point. No, people sent a cosign thing and it was like, oh, he signed to Dreamville.

That's what always happens. How did he cosign for people that don't know? Basically, he just wrote like, yo, super amazing, I f*** with your s***. And that's the cosign everybody's talking about.

Oh, he wrote it on your Instagram? Yeah, no cap. And not to mention, I've talked to him after that and like or he's a solid-ass do like he didn't give Me no like oh, I'm the king of Fayetteville. I'm this I'm he gave me like yo, bro This how you can survive in this game This is what you're gonna wear watch out for this will do you want to read everything like gave me real big brother advice For somebody don't even know that he didn't have to do you didn't have the co-sign me But you want to archer away and did that so like solid and i always appreciate him for that no cap i saw you tweet out recently too i used to try to protect my name in situations but now i

just want to protect my peace yeah like me i feel like a lot of just understand like they'll get tried or like oh or they got to play the tough guy in certain situations well like honestly you you know boy you're talking to is a bitch for anyways. Like, bro, I'd probably punch in your shit if it wasn't all your homies right here. I'd probably fuck you up if it wasn't in this club. Like, stop playing with me. Be yourself. I'd rather protect my peace and leave than to have to beat your ass.

Now I'm in court for you acting like who the fuck you were in the first place. I don't pretend to be the biggest gangster. That's not who I am. But when I let you hold me, you got me fucked up. Like, bro, we're going to do it. But I really want to just be a nice guy. Like, and, we're going to do it, but I really want to just be a nice guy. And I think people are,

they're upset and don't want me to be, but I don't care because I have no reason to be sad, bro. Like, I still live in the same crib when Mo called me. Like, I still live in the same holes in my,

bro, I live in the same crib, bro. You're about to say the same holes in your what? In my, my windows. I got holes in my windows. I got holes in my door. I thought you were about to say

your drawers. I'm like, you cannot have an AP on with holes in your what? In my windows. I got holes in my windows. I got holes in my door. I thought you were about to say your drawers. I'm like, you cannot have an AP on with holes in your drawer. If that was the case, I'd take this shit off. But no cap. But nah,

like, I still live in this shit. No cap to this day is humbling for me because I'm like, yo, like, I really,

and once I leave it, I'm going to take pictures and be like, yo, you can always go back to this shit. Do you want to leave or are you not ready yet? I want to leave the house because it's small, but I want to stay in theville.

But is it hard to live in that same house and people, you know, because when people see a record and they see $55 million, they think you've got $55 million. Yeah. So is it hard to still live there and you've got family and friends? Well, there's no Carolina, so it's legal to carry. So if anybody come to my crib, that's on you. Do you feel me? But I don't have that. Fayetteville don't give me that. Like they got love bro like they show me when i go to the store to get back with i get hugs laughs pictures and i love that bro i love what i'm bringing to whatever

i'm bringing because it's bringing me nothing but happiness how does the way that you write and record now how has that changed because i saw after you signed your deal you deleted your old music you're saying it wasn't mixed and mastered properly and then obviously your wife told you okay you got to be more personal in your music so now how do you write now it's like i write off emotions i let the beat tell a song and i just write with the beat like if the beat come on and i hear like sensitive or sad i'm probably gonna think of something i went through that's sensitive or sad and write to that because that's what I feel is it hard to be vulnerable about about your feelings not in the music not at all okay no cap I think I'm learning like I could be sensitive and still be myself all right

a lot of people think that is part of being yourself yeah like you cry or you you get upset or you sad you a bitch nah you a bitch for holding it in because you're afraid to tell who you really are a lot of us got fragile egos as men you know what i'm saying we all do yeah if your wife tell you some or somebody tell you that know you for real it will hurt your mother yes sir that's that every then argue with his girl and she doesn't say something he was like i never wish i did that damn like oh you're gonna tell everybody my business like nah it's just it's crazy but like we we all sensitive bro and just need to stop playing games and understand you can be sensitive and still be a tough like you can still be both when you put out a whole project April 28th April 28 I got
