I want to show you love today.
I get more nervous in this room than anywhere else.
It's on your radio right now.
Do you know how to pop that coochie for a girl?
There you go.
It's the world's most dangerous morning show.
Got the cameras, I'm out of here.
I agree.
What kind of show is this?
My son listens to this show.
Breakfast Club.
With DJ Envy.
The captain of this bitch.
With Angela Yee, the only one who can keep these guys in check.
With Charlamagne Tha God.
I'm a lovable asshole.
And this is Breakfast Club, bitches.
Wake up, wake up.
Wake your ass up.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Damn, damn, it's a chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Mike, what's up, Mike?
Man, what's going on, man?
What's the matter, man?
Get it off your chest, bro.
Man, it's pretty simple, man.
It's just like I don't understand why some of these red, because I do construction.
I operate heavy machinery, right?
So it just seems like these rednecks always got to try to push buttons
because you're smarter than they are trying to get you fired, man.
I almost won on somebody yesterday.
What'd they say to you?
So I get there, like I operate a loader.
So we got all this pipe that we got to put in the ground.
A lot of it had to be threatened and there was somebody else missing.
So because somebody's missing, I was like, hey, listen, man,
I need some help.
I'm not going to do all of this by myself.
So it just starts popping off at the mouth.
You think you're better than me or something like that?
Just talking all super coochie.
You think you're better than me or something like that, boy?
You don't know how to handle all that pipe?
Huh?
Basically crazy drunk like that.
I don't want to go into complete detail about what he said, but he almost got punched in the head.
You don't know how to handle that pipe, boy?
Huh?
You don't know how to lay that pipe down? Well, I'm glad you didn't knock him out, man, because you need your job, I'm sure. You need me to show you how to handle that pipe, boy? Huh? You don't know how to lay that pipe down?
Well, I'm glad you didn't knock him out, man, because you need your job, I'm sure.
You need me to show you how to lay that pipe, boy?
Shut up, Solomon.
Exactly.
Thank you.
I'm glad you finally told me to shut up.
We used to lay pipe to your kind all the time, boy.
But now let me ask you.
I lay pipe to you, boy.
I break your little buck, boy.
Now, if you catch him outside of work, can you still get fired?
No, of course not.
He's going to be paws on them jaws.
Paws on them jaws.
What you going to put on my jaws, boy?
Paws on them jaws.
What you say you want to do with my jaws?
Oh, my goodness.
These paws.
Shut up, Solomon.
Get it like that.
You said balls.
These balls.
Oh, my goodness.
Have a good one, man.
Don't take nothing serious, do you?
Hello, who's this?
This T.
T, get it off your chest, bro.
What's going on, man?
You want to call?
Tell you guys good morning?
Morning.
Good morning.
Hey, Angela.
Hi.
Okay, Angela, this is my thing.
Uh-oh.
We really need to hear this remix.
I want to push for that.
Talk to Envy.
I think it's fair that when you're out,
you got DJ Envy doing a horrible job doing a rumor report and front page news.
I agree with you.
I don't want to do it.
You should be able to do his mix.
I don't want to do my movies.
Envy, you know, he actually really values his mix.
It's very important to him.
And truthfully, between me and you, I do a better job.
I know.
I know.
And we really want to hear it.
There's a lot of people down here in Jacksonville that want to hear it. Why don't you come up here and do it, between me and you, I do a better job. I know, and we really want to hear it. There's a lot of people down here in Jacksonville that want to hear it.
Why don't you come up here and do it, T?
T, why you hating on the E-Mix?
Why you get so mad at T?
Why you so mad?
I'm so mad.
I invited all this to come up here and do the mix when I'm not here.
Damn, Envy Morgan.
Damn.
Wow, Envy Morgan got hot just now with the mention of Angela Haddish.
T, you want to do it?
He wants you to suck his mix
Jesus Christ

He didn't hold on long enough
Hello who's this
Hey this is Alaya
From Charleston, South Carolina
843 what's happening Low country what's happening What's up mama I'm good He didn't hold on long enough. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Alaya from Charleston, South Carolina.
843, what's happening?
Hello, country.
What's happening?
What's up, mama?
I'm good.
Okay, so I just need to get it off my chest. Okay, I just got a new job, so I moved to Greenville, South Carolina.
There are so many snakes around here.
What do you mean?
Like physical snakes or like human beings?
No, physical snakes.
Oh.
Like I guess somebody had some pets or something,
and they released them in the woods,
so they've been coming out all over the place.
And there was this really long one,
like the size of, like, three lanes on the interstate.
And these white people trying to catch them as pets.
So now you're scared of big-ass snakes, huh?
You know what?
The only time I ever seen a snake get killed
was when my granddaddy went outside and chopped the head off.
And I was like, whoa.
There you go.
You're from South Carolina.
You know we chopped that head off and didn't hold that snake for everybody to come look at?
Charlamagne ain't talking that type of snake either.
He ain't talking about that type of snake, mama.
He talking about the one-eyed snake, I'm sure.
I ain't talking about no one-eyed snake.
What's wrong with you?
Why are you thinking about one-eyed snakes early this morning?
No, that's what you said.
I ain't say nothing.
You ain't never seen a snake before, mama?
I didn't say nothing.
You are kinky.
Don't start that this morning.
Shut up, man.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm just going to talk that up to everybody being tired this morning.
Thank you, mama.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake your ass.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is YouNell Doris.
Calling from South Dakota.
I'm from Florida, but I'm not a crazy one.
Okay.
Hold on.
Did you just say you're calling from South Dakota, from Florida?
What did you say?
But you're not a crazy one.
I'm calling from South Dakota, but I'm from Florida.
Got you. But I ain't crazy. Alright.
I want to say good morning to
all three of y'all. I love y'all. Listen to y'all
every morning. Buenos dias.
Thank you for having no taste.
Sacre passe to all my zoos.
I want to shout out
D2Dtimes.com
I thought you talked another
language to me.
That's my business. D2Dtimes.com. I thought you talked another language to me. You know that one.
Oh, no, no, no.
That's my business.
D2Dtops.com.
Follow me on Instagram.
D2Dtops underscore.
Oh, sorry.
D2Dtops.
Yeah.
D2D underscore tops.
Is that a sex site?
And I'm super nervous.
Yeah, that's my website.
Why the D2D?
What does that mean?
Oh, my goodness.
That's determined to demonstrate as, I thought of this business,
and now I'm pursuing it and I'm doing it.
Oh, okay.
I thought it was like a D2D for Tops.com.
Yeez kinky this morning.
Hello.
Hello?
Get it off your chest.
When it comes down to taking their kids,
it's crazy to me,
especially when it's like they're coming here for a better life.
I mean, my parents are immigrants.
I said my parents are immigrants also.
They're not from, you know, Mexico,
but I could just imagine
being ripped away from my parents
just because they're trying
to start a better life.
Were your parents undocumented immigrants, though?
No.
That's the difference.
That's the difference.
No, no, no, no, stop.
That's the difference. They's the difference. No, no, no, no. Stop. That's the difference.
They came here first as undocumented.
Oh, okay.
And then they were able to get their citizenship.
Okay.
They were able to because of Reagan.
And I do believe that if you weren't here when Reagan was in office, that's your negligence
not to get your green card.
Because he was just giving them a wet.
True indeed.
I mean, that's why I said I'm torn about the situation because on one hand, you do
have empathy for people escaping to get a better life
but on the other hand, they are breaking the law.
So it's not like the people
are doing anything unjust to them.
Danny! Hey, what's up?
Get off your chest, Danny. I'm on the radio
right now. Yes, you are.
Oh my God. I just want to give a big shout out
to my girlfriend, Crystal. You know, we've been together
for over three years now and she got herself back into school,
and she wants to become a nurse.
Dope.
That's dope.
She's going to be a nurse, man, giving other men's punch bags.
I love that.
Oh, boy.
Hey, Solomon, I want to give you a big shout out, man.
You know, honestly, you know, being with her, she's done a lot for me.
And one of the big things she's done is she buys me books, and she bought me a book, and
I've been reading it.
Oh, she's a keeper.
When I finish it, I'll try to call back
and talk to you about it.
I really appreciate your book.
Angelique, DJ Envy,
everything you guys do, man.
Everything is amazing.
I just want to tell everybody out there, whoever's hearing,
in life, you've got to keep moving.
You can't stop. If you want to get somewhere
in life, you've just got to work hard for it.
100% right, my brother.
Got to keep those feet moving.
Thank you for calling, man.
Thank you, brother.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, you can hit us up.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Janelle.
Hey, boo.
Hi.
So we're going to do something different today.
And which is?
You're going to be so mad.
I'm not on the show?
All right, so what happened is Charlamagne left because he had to be somewhere,
and then Envy was like, I'm not staying, and he left too.
He disrespected me like that?
I feel bad because I know we always joke around.
Yeah, and I just put his...
All right, what can we do?
I mean, I'll do whatever you need now, but I won't be on even locally.
I'm sorry, I feel bad.
We're just playing with you.
His lips started trembling.
He said, I'm not even going to be a local.
I'm not even going to be a local.
Donnell said, what can we do?
I was only a minute away from saying,***, Indy, I'm following you.
He said he disrespected you.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ
Indy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club.
And again, we got our guy.
Trust all of y'all, not The Breakfast Club, y'all
The Evil Club.
It's not even April Fool's. I'm not evil. Look, Dynette,
we wanted to play a little prank on you, but I felt bad.
Your lips started quivering.
My lips didn't quiver.
Your lips quivered a little bit.
What I've learned to be in my career is a problem solver.
We all deal with problems, right?
True, indeed.
But how do we deal with the problems and we solve them?
So when Angela Yee told me that both of y'all had walked out on my interview, of course,
I was disrespectful.
I thought I was disrespectful.
I wanted to talk about how you're never supposed
to trust light-skinned people like that.
And I gave you a pass. And I was like, I thought
it was serious. I was trying to problem solve it.
Like, how do I be able to do the Breakfast Club interview?
And that's when they let me know
that y'all played a joke on me.
Your eyes got watery.
I'm an actor.
I'm an actor.
I know your son, Austin.
Shout out to Austin. I love you, man. I really an actor. I'm an actor. Because, look, I know your son, Austin. I saw Austin's little face. Shout out to Austin.
I love you, man.
I really thought y'all was being disrespectful.
And it really hurt.
It really hurt me.
Because me and you talk all the time.
All the time.
And I'm like this.
I'm like, he couldn't give me a heads up or anything.
And I was like, that's how it is.
See?
If we'd have waited five more minutes, we'd have got all of that on camera.
I would have got all of that.
Charlton couldn't text me?
It was covered.
Kevin Hart really did buy these chairs.
Yes, he did.
Because it's built in for the Kevin Hart size.
Yes.
Now, here's the thing.
This is when you know Kevin Hart is upset when he starts talking with his thumbs and
his fingers.
What did you think about all of that from an OG comedian like yourself?
First off, I think enough is enough.
You know what I'm saying?
I've listened to all the interviews, and I definitely think it's unfortunate because
all the people that are in the beef
are successful.
That's the crazy part.
But the thing is,
sometimes people don't respect everybody's come up.
And I also think that it's easy for people to say,
well, that's just my opinion.
But everybody on the outside
wants you to have a humble opinion.
They want you to be humbled by it.
I listened to the cat on another station.
What did you think about that when he was shooting at Tiffany Haddish and everything?
First off, the first thing I thought was crazy was how the host wandered.
You know what I'm saying?
I thought that when he said, you're not a good interviewer, I agree with him 100%.
You know what I'm saying?
She was trying to put him in a corner.
We all know what the demons that Cat Williams has dealt with.
You know what I'm saying?
And me traveling and doing morning ready every time.
After a while, you get sick of the same question.
And she was trying to put him in that situation where he would react like that,
and he reacted.
Now, on the comedian side of it, I speak the comedian language.
I kind of understood what Cat Williams was trying to say.
People get to a certain level, certain route, you know what I'm saying?
Has Tiffany Haddish been on a 100-city tour?
No.
You know what I'm saying?
Has Tiffany Haddish been the headlining community across the country?
No.
But she had a different path.
Everybody else was out on the street.
Tiffany Haddish, she was auditioning.
Now, that could have been the question.
How many auditions did you have before you got there?
Her path, she's a TV star.
TV and movie star.
Huh?
TV and movie star.
She started on stage, though.
But she started on stage.
But what Cat Williams
was trying to compare was,
he was trying to compare
the people that had been
on the ground for years
and years and years
banging out an hour
of comedy every night.
You know what I'm saying?
Before Tiffany Haddish
blew up, she was,
and this is no disrespect,
I love her,
she was a feature.
She was a strong feature
headlining.
I remember one time
she asked me,
Donny, can I get some role work?
This was like three or four years ago,
but at the same time, she
sacrificed going on the road to commit
to being an actor, to putting herself in a position.
Now, some of the things that Cat
Williams said, I could have respected more
if he would have said, I appreciate her hustle.
She started when she was 15.
She was a foster kid. You know what I'm saying?
How many success stories you know of people
that came from foster homes
that have made it?
If he would have acknowledged that,
I would have kind of understood some of the things you're saying.
I think that was, throughout that whole interview,
I think that was the most unfortunate part about it
because you've got to give her a prop.
All right, we've got more with Donnell Rawlins.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Donnell Rawlins is in the building.
Would you consider Chappelle a gatekeeper?
I wouldn't consider him a gatekeeper.
I consider him as a person that can make opportunities.
Of course he can make opportunities.
And the thing is, a lot of times,
the reason why people don't want to give another man opportunities
is because they're afraid that that person
is going to outshine them
and testament
to Dave's character.
And I consider myself
a beast on stage.
Dave will put me on the road.
The average headliner
is not f***ing with me.
And for Dave,
when I'm on the show with him,
nobody knows that I'm there.
They're like DJ Trommel
who's normally
the resident DJ.
Shout out to DJ Trommel.
Shout out to DJ Trommel.
But he'll be like, okay guys, we're going to start a show.
We got a special guest.
You see him on the wire.
You'll get a couple of claps.
You'll see him in Spider-Man 2.
You'll get a couple of claps.
But then he'll say, but you fell in love with him as Ashley Larry from the Chappelle show.
And the room goes a**.
The average headliner is not going to want anybody to get that reception before they go on.
I'll go up there.
I'll do my thing.
And then him being the person he is,
he come right behind it. Two different styles.
Everything you're saying is accurate except for the crowd
going ape s***. No, no, no, no.
You must not be in my show. No, they did go crazy
for Donnell. Now ape s***, you know what he sound like?
Ape s***. You know what he sound like? A hater.
And you know a hater, they always start these s***s off
like this, I mean.
I mean, they went ape s*** back, but
they didn't go ape s***, ape s***, ape s***. I mean. You know what they went A, but they didn't go A, A, A, I mean.
You know what I really enjoy watching you perform in like the smaller venues.
The Radio City Music Hall, those big venues like that, they're like, they're the showcase venues, you know.
But if you really want to see a test of a true comic, like you say, find them in an intimate environment.
Find them in the smallest situation.
It's probably like 70 people.
That's the downtime.
He got to practice somewhere.
Quick story.
There's a celebrity chef.
I won't say that name.
Celebrity chef.
When I was having my son's baby shower,
I wanted this celebrity chef to come in and help me with the food for my son's baby shower.
So I reached out to the chef, and we were all good.
And then at the last minute, they pulled away
and the example they gave me,
it was like,
I don't know,
there was a big time
and he was like,
Donnell,
I don't do open mics.
Like, they're too big to do.
To do baby showers.
I don't do open mics.
You just blow a kiss
at Donnell's shop?
He said,
oh, I'm blowing a kiss
at Carolina's.
You blow a kiss at Donnell's?
You see how disrespectful
the breakfast call is?
I know.
How you in the DMZ?
Come here, come here, come here.
Don't bring nobody in my interview, son.
Why did you blow a kiss at my wife?
Why did you blow a kiss at my wife?
Oh, my God.
This is so disrespectful.
This is Carolina.
Well, Donnell, did I blow a kiss at you?
Thank you for joining us, Donnell.
He think I blew a kiss at him.
Hey, Carolina, how you doing?
I'm so sorry.
He think I blew a kiss at him.
No, I was dropping off a baby present.
I'm so sorry.
All right, back to your story about what were you talking about?
He was telling a story.
He was telling a story.
He wasn't telling a story.
I ain't no story.
This ain't going to be a Caroline's this weekend.
I ain't nothing but no story.
Donnell, as long as this story doesn't end with you deciding to cook, because you cannot cook.
I don't want to talk about that.
I can't.
Go ahead.
But here's the story.
So the celebrity chef, I guess they had got to a point where they was too big for a certain thing.
They on TV and everything.
And they was like, Donnell, I don't do open mics.
Do you do open mics?
Do you continue to open mics?
I said, yes.
Not only I continue to open mics, I had just did a show at Radio City Music Hall.
6,500 people got off stage, got in the car, and went to Brownsville and performed for 15 people.
Yeah.
So at the end of the day, you can't never stop sharpening your toolbox.
You can't never stop sharpening your toolbox. You can't never stop sharpening your toolbox.
How would you sharpen the toolbox?
By performing.
You would sharpen the tools, not the toolbox.
The tools, not the box.
What's wrong with you, man?
Yo, y'all know so many people up here that y'all don't put this pressure on, son.
Y'all know I'm not good at reading out loud.
Y'all know I don't do that.
I tell you, son.
You used to do radio together, right?
We used to have reading contests.
We used to bet each other.
No, it wasn't a contest.
You never was in it.
You just bet on me.
Bet against me.
I got $50.
You can't read this paragraph without stuttering.
Okay.
And it's about you.
It's about you.
Donna Rawlins is an actor and writer from Washington, D.C.
He's well known for being a cast member on The Chappelle Show.
He made an impact on the show with his character, Ashley Larry, and his iconic phrase,
I'm rich, bitch.
I threw that in there.
He has a series
of sketch comedy clips
on his From Ashley to Classy...
Don't do that, son!
On his From Ashley to Classy album.
Rollins has had
multiple successful shows
at Radio City Music Hall.
An actor,
he has made appearances
on The Wire...
A Wire?
And Spider-Man 2!
I didn't stutter, son! On The Wire and Spider-Man 2. I didn't stutter, son.
On the Wire and Spider-Man 2.
He was in the Air Force for four years.
Rollins is also a police officer in Washington.
That's a big one.
You were a police officer.
He was a cop?
I didn't know you was a cop.
I didn't know you was a cop.
I was a police officer in the Air Force
waiting to become a police officer in D.C.
And what happened?
I used to work for this grocery company.
I used to be head of security for this grocery company.
And as a form of camaraderie,
we would go to the comedy connection at Greenbelt,
and we would go to the club.
And I used to heckle the comedians on stage.
So we used to go every week,
and I became popular as a heckler.
Comedians would come to me and be like,
yo, could you let me do work on my material?
Don't mess with me today.
And I became so good at a heckler
that the club owner wanted to shut me up.
This is how I started.
He dared me to go on stage.
I wasn't excited about doing it then.
Two weeks later, I went on stage,
and the rest was history.
So you was a troll then, originally.
Oh, yeah, I was 100%.
People started coming to see me heckle.
You had a gun?
In the Air Force.
I was the worst cop ever, man.
I made one stop in four years.
And that was this girl.
And this was before the whole Me Too thing.
And she was scantily dressed.
Scantily clad.
Yes, you know this.
And I pulled over to get her phone number.
And that's the only arrest I ever made.
You arrested her?
Yeah, I arrested her.
She told you no?
I'm not following that.
You're not going to have me on CNN 20 years later.
You're trying to get evidence, son.
You're asking some Kavanaugh questions, son.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't remember anything.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got some special guests in the building.
Yeah, yeah.
Tiffany Haddish and Kevin Hart.
Yay! Why you screaming, man? I don't know. I don't know. We got some special guests in the building. Yes, sir. Yeah, yeah. Tiffany Haddish and Kevin Hart. In the building.
Hey, why you screaming, man?
I don't know.
I'm just relaxing.
That was very nice.
I'm happy to see them, too, but damn, bro.
Energetic.
I like it.
Kevin here complaining about chairs that he bought, saying that the chairs won't go up
no higher.
I'm not complaining about the chairs that I bought.
I just don't understand.
Well, you guys know I'm coming.
You should have my setting ready.
You know what?
You bought those chairs.
It's not about what I bought, it's about what I need.
I told you that.
I'm not saying that you gotta make it a public thing,
but put a f***ing pillow under here.
Tiffany seems fine.
Tiffany, time for her chair.
Yeah, my torso's longer. Yeah, Tiffany's taller.
It's fine. Let's not make a thing out of it. I'm okay.
How you guys doing?
I don't know where to start with y'all.
Let's start. Night school. First of all start with y'all Let's start Night school
Let's start there
Night school, hitting theaters September 28th
Excited, why?
I'll tell you why
Did you ask yourself a question?
Let him handle this
I can segue in and out of whatever the hell I want to talk about
Smoothly too
Reason why is because it's the first movie underneath my production umbrella,
Heartbeat Productions.
Taking it a step further, you know, from just being the talent,
turning the business notch up.
And in doing so, I wanted to put myself in a position to win,
so I teamed up with my guy Will Powerpacker again.
This is our seventh movie together.
Four number ones, two number twos.
Hopefully we're talking about one more number
one. And coming off
of a number one success, I said, dude, it
makes no sense to not have Tiffany
Haddish be a part of my first movie.
Especially understanding her story and where
she's coming from. So we casted Tiffany in the
movie, along with another
amazing group of actors
and actresses. The list is too long
to name. And, you know, right now we're talking about something
that was built from the ground up.
How much money have you and Will made together so far?
A lot of money, buddy.
Seven, six movies?
A lot of money.
You don't need to get into the numbers.
Okay.
It's up there.
It's up there.
Now, why Night School?
Have you ever been to Night School, either of you?
I can tell you the whole story behind Night School
and the reason behind it is something that I think
people will be able to relate to. You know it's a movie about second chances in life so many people do things the first
time around and may or may not get it right and then doing so you feel like it's over in this
particular case education is the forefront of the story and so many people that don't embrace
education properly end up going back to have to do it again and And what you find out is when you embrace it the second time,
you do it correctly,
and the opportunities in life are still there,
and it may even be more.
This is a movie that embraces that.
This is a movie that highlights that.
And we do it from a funny perspective,
but that people can relate to.
I'm proof of that.
I got my diploma in night school.
I'm so well-spoken.
So articulate.
As we go on.
How were you guys as students in school in real life?
I was okay. I was alright.
I had a 2.5
grade average.
Is that good? That's not alright.
2.5?
I graduated.
I had a lot of credits because I went to summer
school every year.
Why did you have to go to summer school every year?
Because I didn't want to get in any trouble and it to go to summer school every year too? No, because I didn't want to
get in any trouble. And it was boys
in summer school.
You see my level of education.
I celebrated the 2.5.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
We had these conversations
about equal pay in Hollywood.
Tiff and Kev, y'all both are on the bill.
How does that work out?
I know
what the conversations are.
You know, look,
I'm all about
the female growth,
you know,
especially in entertainment.
You know, I think that
women and the voices
that are coming from
these women should be heard
and the opportunity
should be given.
What about that money, though?
Was it equal pay?
I don't think so, but you know what?
He's producing on it and whatnot.
We both just got houses.
His house is in the hills
somewhere we can't find and my house is in
South Central.
No, look, I think
that the conversation is one that needs to
be had and now that it's being
had, you're going to see more opportunities for
women to get what they've
been requesting and what they deserve.
I think it's all project
dependent. It's all about
the level of stars that you're dealing with
and you know, you have to
understand that. How do you know what your level is?
Well, within box office draw.
What people ignore is that within a talent
there's box office draw and there's box office success.
Tiff is the biggest star in the movie, so she should be.
You know what?
If that's what people feel, then I would say.
You didn't just see a radio personality get roasted early this week.
Are you ready?
Keep it up.
Keep going, Shia.
It's good.
I like this.
Keep going.
I would bow down to my sister if that was the case.
I'll tell you the difference in OK Heart, and I'll use this as a segue.
Okay?
The difference in me, if that was the case, there is no reason to put a dimmer on that light.
The reason why I say that is because I've been there.
I'm there.
I sit in the chair.
I've sat in this chair for a long time.
Naturally, there's other people that will come behind and will surpass wherever you are.
In this business, when that happens, you support it, especially when you're coming from a position where there's been a demand for people of color to get a shot.
So here's my frustration, because I know you're going to get into it. Let me tell you my frustration.
Can I ask you a question first?
No, I'm kidding.
Go, go, go.
Here's my frustration, okay? I'm going to tell you what's been on my mind, what's been on my heart heavy.
I was just trying to say the movie first.
I want to talk about the movie's sold.
The movie's going to be sold.
Nice, cool.
September 28th.
God damn it.
Check it out.
Now I want to get to what's really bothering me.
I want to ask black people what we want.
What do we want?
We complain that people of color weren't getting opportunities in Hollywood.
We were getting ignored for the Oscars, for the
Emmys. It was a big thing.
After that big thing, people of color
got recognized for
their hard work, for their efforts and run awards.
People of color also won Emmys.
People of color
are now being given opportunities to
star, to lead in various projects.
Well, just the ugly people, according to some.
According to some.
Okay.
When the people of color get these opportunities,
why are the people of color the ones that are tearing the people
that are getting the opportunities down?
My frustration comes from,
you don't realize when I preach about the crabs in a barrel mentality
that eventually we have to take responsibility for our actions.
So if I'm looking at people that share my craft,
I'm going to bring up the people that Cat Williams named.
Lil Rel, Gerard Carmichael, Hannibal Buress, myself, Tiffany Haddish.
Correct.
Lil Rel is seeing so much success after doing his special relevant.
He went on to do Get Out.
He now has a show that he's producing and starring in
on Fox. Gerard Carmichael had
his own show that he starred, wrote, produced.
Gerard Carmichael was on to
a second special. Hannibal Buress
saw success within comedy specials and is now
doing various movies where he's getting the opportunity
to have features and to have a presence.
Me, Kevin Hart, the guy
that sits on top right now, have
taken advantage of all the money that I have, I've shot over 56
specials for the up and coming generation
of comedy, why? Because I'm trying to create opportunities
for others, rather than complaining about it
I'm fixing it, I'm putting my money where Martha's
I also take full responsibility
for any and everything that I've done in the f***ing business
good or bad
Alright, we have more with Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish
so don't move, it's The Breakfast Club, good morning
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
E.J. Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got special guests in the building, Tiffany Haddish and Kevin Hart.
Go off, Kevin.
Go off.
My frustration with Cat Williams comes from you keep pointing at Hollywood.
Hollywood this, the white man, this this, this and this. When do you
take responsibility for your actions?
You had the shot.
Cat was in that position at one point. You were the guy.
You were set up to be the star.
You didn't show up to work.
You f***ed off promo shoots.
You became a risk to the studios, which
is why the studios stopped f***ing with you.
Why was he a risk? He chose drugs.
Take responsibility for what you chose and say,
you know what, I got to fix me,
and I'm going to come back and I'm going to stand up for comedy.
So when you say Tiffany Haddish doesn't deserve
or isn't really a comedian,
and these other women have worked hard,
which they have.
Shouts out to Melanie Camacho.
Shouts out to Luenell.
Shouts out to Leslie Jones,
who are all underneath the umbrella of Cat Williams.
Cat Williams, have you ever used your platform to f***ing bring the people that were under you up?
You haven't.
So because you haven't, don't f*** on those that now are.
I've used my platform, and I've brought my guys and girls up.
The brand of Kevin Hart is a brand that's expanded so f***ing far whether you like me or
not. My presence in comedy will forever
be felt because I'm a f***ing boss.
I sit on the top of it and the opportunities
that I'm given are the ones that I'm creating.
So take responsibility for what you
did. You f*** you.
Nobody else did. You don't hear
Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle,
the Kings of Comedy, Seinfeld.
You don't hear George Lopez, Eddie Griffin.
Who else can I go down the road of other comedians?
Steve Martin, Martin Short.
You don't hear the guys that got on top and that made it by doing what they love,
complain about the people that are coming under them.
The reason why is because they're happy with themselves.
Don't blame everybody else for your
s***. Don't s*** on my sister
Light because you're not happy with your s***.
This s*** is earned. It's not given.
I don't give a f*** if you're a Tiffany Haddish fan or not.
It's earned. Tiffany Haddish got years in the game.
It's not an accident that Tiffany Haddish
got an opportunity to star in a movie.
It's not an accident that that character popped
in the movie. Written or not written,
a character has to pop it. And he even acknowledged the years that that character popped in the movie. Written or not written, a character has to pop it.
And he even acknowledged the years that you've put in before that.
Now I want to ask you, Tiffany, because you were very classy in your response on social media.
Because the first thing I thought was, that's effed up.
What's Tiffany going to say?
Because it has to be hurtful when somebody says something like that.
Especially, I'm sure you were a fan of his, you know, at some point.
I still am a fan of his.
I think he's hilarious.
So what did you think when you heard his, you know, at some point. I still am a fan of his. I think he's hilarious. So what did you think
when you heard that
before you responded?
Well, I thought,
I was like,
dang, what'd I do to him?
Did I f*** his man?
And then I was like...
You're stupid.
You're funny.
That's what I thought it was.
That's what I always think.
When people say mean things,
I always think that
because I figured
it gotta be,
I must have took something from him.
I must have did something to me.
And then I realized I never did nothing to that man.
And then when I started like really listening to it, I was like, oh, he got his facts wrong.
He's obviously not paying attention to me.
And somebody must have been complaining to him about me or whatever.
And maybe he felt some type of way.
I don't know.
I just feel like, well, you know, it is what it is.
I don't, I'm not tripping.
I'm not mad.
I'm not upset.
But did he apologize?
Because we've seen a picture there.
What's the first thing he said to you?
He apologized.
He said, listen, listen, listen.
Let me explain what's going on.
And then he explained himself.
And then I was just like, well, you know.
What did he explain?
What kind of explanation can you give?
He just said, I hate it.
I want to step in because I'm going to let my sister keep it classy.
Somebody kicked my sister ball over the fence.
I want it back.
It doesn't matter what he said. It doesn't matter
what the apology was. So you didn't like the
apology. It's not about the apology. And I want to get this
very clear. I want to make it very clear.
Cat Williams is an amazing, talented comedian.
Which is why I'm so frustrated.
I sit from afar and I admire
the man's talent.
I don't like that you said anything
negative about a woman of color that's getting her shot.
Say it to me.
I'll take it all.
Hate me.
You do seem to be more offended about this than I've ever seen you.
I have sat back.
I have forever been the humble guy.
I have time to not be humble today.
I have time to fact check everything he said because the world of Cat Williams is a fictional world.
Is he selling that many tickets?
Let's run this.
He said on his last tour.
I was like, when was she married to a white man?
I've been proposed to by a white man before and then found out he was really black when we did that DNA test.
But it is what it is.
So you weren't married to a white man?
No. I a man.
I know that, but whatever.
Not Kev.
He said he sold 2.4 million tickets on his last tour.
False.
That's more than Beyonce and Jay-Z.
That's more than Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake.
That's more than Beyonce and Justin Timberlake combined.
Do you understand how many tickets 2.4 million tickets are?
Right now, you can Google it. It's all f***ing researchable information. I am sitting on 2.4 million tickets are? Right now, you can Google it.
It's all f***ing researchable information.
I am sitting on 1.3 million tickets sold.
There is nobody close to me in ticket sales in comedy.
And you're on a worldwide tour.
Worldwide.
I am on par with the likes of your Bruno Mars, your Jay-Z, and Beyonce.
So in comedy, it's unheard of to get those numbers.
Also to say 15 consecutive 100 city tours, it's falseheard of to get those numbers. Also to say 15 consecutive
100 city tours, it's false.
Where did you do the new stuff?
When did you ever work on something? Consecutive means
in a row. Where? There's a
Forbes list. Every year it comes out.
Go back to 2007, go back to
2006. Cat Williams has never been on it.
Go back to my last five years in comedy. I have
one year where I got number one. This year
I'll be number one again. I have one year where I was number one. This year I'll be number one again. I have one year
where I was number three. The other years I'm number six, I'm number
seven. These lists are
researchable. Another fact,
a hard f***ing fact, Cat Williams did not
own all his specials.
He trashes the white man. The white
man owns your content. So Cat Williams
don't own none of his specials? No! False.
False. Is this provable?
I am now coming to get my sister's ball
that was kicked over the fence.
I think you got it.
I'm only saying this
because of how you attack innocent people.
Yes.
And Tiffany does have an hour stand-up special
on Showtime from the hood to Hollywood.
She's got two.
Also, Netflix specials are not given
by what you sell on the road.
That's the most ridiculous
I've ever heard in my life.
Another fact.
So it's not about tickets?
No.
What's that about?
It's not about tickets.
It's about your brand.
It's about your return.
If I'm a business and I want to invest a high amount of money in you, how am I getting my money back?
Everybody can't demand the money if you can't justify how I'm getting my money back.
All these announcements came out for the specials.
I kept mine under wraps just because.
Netflix gave me $40 million.
What?
Whoa.
This is a fact.
We need a better chance.
Listen.
We need a better chance.
And we need new laptops.
I've been saying that.
And I would like an iPad.
A car if you feel like it.
I told you he bought a new house.
The point that I'm making is that that's information.
This is all researchable information if you go look for it.
I just told you to keep it to myself because I don't care.
I'm only saying this now because I'm fact-checking what was put out as fiction.
That's not how they do deals.
With that being said, once again, when you look at all the comedians that are up and coming,
young, old, whatever, as a comedian that's sitting in a position of power,
if you got any financial growth, put your money where your mouth is and you change it.
So if you got a team of people, which he does, which are very funny.
Once again, shout out to Red Grant, Manu Camacho, Lunell, Leslie Jones.
That was there for a minute.
I know them all. I love all of you, but I can't name
one of their jokes. It doesn't matter. I would never
shit on them. Instead, I would say
take your money and create opportunities
for them so they can pop within
your brand and make you better. All the negativity
that I've received is from Cat Williams and Mike
Epps. Ask yourself why.
Those two people that fucked themselves over.
They were in the same movie. I don't get a s*** today.
I ain't got time to talk all this s*** today.
What'd you say, Tiff?
I said they both got their break in the same movie.
They both popped on the same movie.
Friday.
Friday after next.
All right, we have more with Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got special guests in the building, Tiffany Haddish and Kevin Hart.
Do you get along with any of your peers?
I get along with everybody.
Michael Blackson and you had a little thing.
Me and Mike Blackson are fine.
That was more about me and Mike Blackson knowing each other for real.
You let this fiction take you out of the realm of saying you really know me.
So at that moment, Mike, I'm like, dude you really know me so at that moment mike i'm like
dude you know me like enough is enough you know that at this point when all this is going down
you know how serious it is you know me like we really are friends i get it from everybody else
i don't give a but you different you know me that's what me and mike came in but me and mike
are fine i'm saying negativity. I'm
saying talk. I'm saying
the constant downing of people that
sit in the position of success that have worked hard for it
comes from people that have yet to realize
their f*** up. This is
simply me calling you out
on your f*** ups. Stop
pointing at other people. Stop pointing at Hollywood
for your f*** up. F*** is changing.
F*** is the biggest f*** comedy star in the world right now on an international level.
Box office and goddamn touring.
Stop talking to me about the opportunities that we're not getting because I'm creating them.
Your f*** up.
Take responsibility for your f*** up.
Don't kick my sister ball over the fence no more.
Why are you talking to your kids?
Because they kick her ball over the f***ing fence.
I would never want to get in trouble in your house.
I'm upset.
I'm upset because I know this girl's story.
Y'all don't understand where my frustration come from.
Homeless.
You was there for her when she was homeless?
Yeah.
F*** the joke of the money that I gave her.
I'm talking about a real grind.
Right.
Homeless.
No bed.
Backseat.
Watching your ass in bathroom sinks.
And now you finally get millions for a movie, and now we want to go,
you ain't this and you ain't that.
Applaud her first.
And she seems so grateful all the time, and you have nothing bad to say about anybody.
I've never seen Tiffany Haddish come at anybody, be negative.
It seems like you're always supportive of other people.
Yeah, I am supportive.
If I got something bad to say about somebody, I say it to them in their face first.
Straight up.
Why are you so loving and forgiving
to people who try to
discredit you? Because they obviously are
hurting. They need some love.
There's something wrong with them
for them to even come at me. I never did nothing to them.
I never said anything bad about them.
So it's something that's personal
and obviously they're crying for help.
So I'm going to be kind and I'm going to keep it pushing
and not absorb whatever they're trying to put out.
We already reached out to you and apologized to you too.
Is that true?
No.
No.
Where you get that from?
I don't know.
No.
And I want to make this perfectly clear.
This is not a Kevin Hart versus Kat thing.
This is not that.
I don't give that much of a f***. I don't have time to care
that much. This is a I'm shining
a light on what we complain
about. We complain that
we don't have. Then we get
and now we tear down those
that are getting what we said we don't have.
Make a decision. I'm going to ride
with whatever decision we make. Y'all on the platform.
Help me figure out so I know what we're
sticking to. Maybe I'm wrong. So if I'm wrong, tell me now decision we make. Y'all on the platform. Help me figure out so I know what we're sticking to.
Maybe I'm wrong.
So if I'm wrong, tell me now so I can take the money out of my Laugh Out Loud network.
So I can stop trying to produce these movies and get diversity looks and make a multicultural cast pop.
Because I thought that's what we wanted.
So if it's not what we want, tell me.
And I'll go back and I'll do what was being done that we didn't want.
So if we're going to fix a problem, then help a f***ing problem become fixed
by being a part of the solution and not the problem.
When you are down and you attack
those that are now becoming a part of the solution,
you're the f***ing problem.
It's interesting that they always say
the white man gives people in Hollywood stuff.
We haven't been watching y'all bust y'all ass for years.
Absolutely.
I can say that there has been a heavy separation
within races and opportunity
in the entertainment business.
I can say all the complaints that have been given
over the past are not only
correct, but
worthy of the attention that they
got. Okay? Within all
the movements, within all the conversation,
within we need more.
You're goddamn right.
I get it.
I was a person that was told movies can't translate overseas with black leads in comedy.
I was told that to my face.
I begged for those opportunities.
I pushed for them.
I got them.
And now you see more movies with people of color in the lead position getting those opportunities.
Because we're pushing for it. They talk about people giving people stuff.
You had to fight for an audition
for Girls Trip, right? Yeah, I fought for that.
I was constantly
on my agent about getting me that audition
and I
got it and then I went in like four times
and then finally I
got the job. But, I mean
I was just thinking about it like every person that's ever
given me an opportunity in this business or fought
for me or fought with me to get a job or put me on something has been black.
So to me, when they say, oh, the white man, whatever, to me, I don't see it that way.
I mean, it's been black or Hispanic, Middle Eastern, but mostly black people have helped me.
And when it comes to stand up, it's like everybody, I feel like.
And my job in this business, I feel like, to me,
my position, I come from bringing joy.
And when people are like,
oh, she not funny, you not funny,
I don't care.
And my comedy not for you.
You know, I'm here to
not make the whole wide world laugh.
I'm here to make the people
that buy tickets laugh.
That's all I care about.
And you know, it's a perfect segue
to go back to our reason for being here.
Thanks, Cole.
Yeah, because I just want to say,
salute to Will Packer for being a great director.
Because he's in the back like, cut.
Well, just hear me out.
When I say perfect segue,
I'm saying when I talk about second chances,
when I talk about the purpose of the movie,
when I talk about why the movie was created,
when I talk about the vision behind it,
it's to motivate and inspire.
Yes, you're going to laugh,
but there's a message within it.
Within everything that I'm saying,
yo, second chances are valuable.
Within everything that I said directed towards Cat and what was said,
yo, you got a second chance.
Your people still ride with you.
They still f*** with you.
They always will because you're talented.
Acknowledge that, yo, you know what?
The first time I may have done some s***.
Second time I'm coming back stronger than other people.
Watch the road back to Cat Williams getting back to the top.
Oh, you mean like with him winning the Emmy?
Yes.
Like, that's your moment.
Hey, man.
He didn't write that role, by the way, though.
I'm just saying.
The same thing he's accusing other people of.
He didn't write the role in Atlanta.
I'm not here to attack that.
I'm saying, as a fan, I would embrace you, acknowledging whatever, and going.
That's a second chance. Within my movie, acknowledge you and whatever and go on. That's a second chance.
Within my movie, you'll see second chances
become highlighted. You'll see them
be celebrated. Night School is bigger than
the last that you're going to get. There's a message.
Any content being developed
that comes from Heartbeat Productions
will have an underlying tone
that you will be able to take with you because that's
what I'm trying to do from a production
standpoint.
So this script came to you first
and then you brought it to...
No, this script was developed by me and my team.
Oh, it was developed by you and everything.
Oh, you wrote it.
Yes, ground up.
Harry Rattray, shout out to Harry Rattray,
Joey Wells, Matt Kellard, Glenda Richardson,
John Hamburg, Nicholas Stoller,
all amazing talent writers that came in
and helped in within the development of the script.
Done underneath the heartbeat umbrella.
Then after that, taken to my guy, Will Packer, read it, loved it, took it to Universal, sold
it.
Universal said, let's do it.
We did it.
And now we're releasing it.
That's the steps within development.
But what I love the most is that you're seeing something that can be branded and that can
be underlined as what Kevin Hart content will look like.
I want to be a partner.
I've been a work for hire for a long time.
So now it's about becoming a partner.
So when Universal looks at me and they say we're developing with Kevin,
it's because we're partners.
The world of being a work for hire was a great one,
but the business in me won't allow that to last.
The business is now about pulling other people up,
embracing the opportunities that can be given.
Opportunities that can be given.
The first of the... Earned.
Given and earned.
It was given because I earned it.
I thought you've been doing that with your stand-up, though.
You own all your stand-ups, right?
Really? For real now? Not just for radio?
Once again, this is all researchable information.
Well, not the one that I just shot.
That's Netflix. That's why they cut that
check. That's theirs. $40 million. And that check. So they can, that's theirs.
$40 million.
And that was just for one special?
No, I'm doing two.
Okay.
I'm giving them two.
So two $20 million specials.
We don't need to get into that.
The math is great.
We don't need to get into that.
It was done along at the same time when Rock, Chappelle, Ellen,
when we were all figuring it out.
Eddie Murphy, man, he's up there.
That 50 million number is a crazy number.
It's the highest grossing stand-up special of all time.
And, you know, I shot for it.
I tried.
I gave my all.
I made the list, and I have three specials on there,
but that man sits at the top for a reason.
What's your highest one?
Highest one is 36 or 32, something like that.
Oh, okay.
38, 38.
I saw one you had for 23.
23, 32.
So Cat sold more than you because he did 24 with one of them.
It's fictional.
It's not a fact.
It's not a fact.
All right, we have more with Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish.
Don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, normally we do rumors here.
Yes, but since Envy And Angela Yee
Are in Vegas
No since Tiffany Haddish
Y'all are in Vegas
But Tiffany and Kev
Are here
But we're all together
Don't worry about it
It's radio magic
It don't matter
How it's getting done
It's just getting done
Don't try to
Trickify me bro
Don't try to
Trickify me
But let's get back
Into our interview
With Tiffany Haddish
And Kevin Hart
Doesn't it feel like
As the success comes
And things get bigger for you,
just so much more hate comes with it at times
as well? Especially you, Tiff,
because it seems like they love you on the way up
and then when you get there, it's like, oh, she ain't funny.
Oh, she's this. Oh, she's that. But they love
you when you're on your way up. Yeah, now all of a sudden
it's, oh, she reinforces the negative stereotypes of
black women. Well, I expect it. I mean,
that's a part of the process. I've been researching
and studying the entertainment business for a long time and that's part of the process. I've been researching and studying the entertainment business
for a long time, and that's part of the process.
They love you for a minute, then they hate on you,
then they love you again, and they hate on you. It's like
a dysfunctional relationship. Does it ever bother you?
Not really, no, because my check
is getting bigger and bigger, so continue
to be a publicist for
free. Also, from my upbringing,
I mean, I grew up in foster care. One minute I'm in the
most wonderful home, next thing I'm snatched out to the
next thing thinking nobody there cared
about me. So I've been trained and built for this.
My mama used to talk mess about me and then next
second love and kiss on me. So to me
this is, I was made for this. I'm built for
it. So y'all can talk all the s*** y'all want to talk.
I'm still going to be smiling at you because I know in a minute
you're going to be like, dang, I love what you said right
there. That made me feel good. So I'm going to keep
it pushing. I love how you protect
Tiff in this situation, but how do you
protect other artists, including her,
just in the business period? So they don't make
the same mistakes you made coming up. I protect them by giving them
the opportunity. I protect them
by being an open book and an example.
You get to see the
hard work and effort that was put into my craft.
And in return, I take
it and I say, hey, man,
I can't wait to see the next version of what I am, if not bigger.
I can't wait to see the next version of the next generation that surpasses all this amazing shit that I'm doing
and that creates other opportunities for others.
I got to see a blueprint that so many did before me,
and I took what I saw and I said, how can I be different?
What impact can I have?
So when you say, how do I change, how can I be different? What impact can I have? So when you
say, how do I change or how do I have an effect on them? My effect is by saying, hey man, take this,
use this for whatever you feel you can. And when you get the opportunity that you feel you're going
to get from this, don't f*** it up. Be better than me. The people in our craft of comedy, which is
one of the hardest goddamn professions to make it in.
So when you're a person that sits in this chair that's in this field,
come on, man, you got no choice but to support the ones that made it out that gauntlet.
How y'all feel, man?
Everybody all right?
F*** you.
All right, come on now.
That's interesting you say that.
Even when people hate and when they can name five or six black comedians,
that's big because usually it's only one.
Huge.
Huge.
That's why I was so taken back. Like at the shot for Rel,
I couldn't be prouder
of Rel. I couldn't be more happy.
He's like the nicest guy.
He's a great guy, man. That man don't bother
nobody. Do you find him attractive, though?
Look, man, that's
not for me to determine.
Rel's doing alright. I don't know why that
bothered me when he said that.
Rel's doing all right.
Rel's got,
he's got kids.
He's got,
you know?
Somebody like,
somebody finally.
He f***ed off
and somebody,
somebody,
somebody was okay with it.
What are you talking about?
You don't,
you don't let that happen
to something that you feel
is disgusting.
That's a mutual agreement
right there.
And you,
you helped Rel out early
with his stand-up special, Rel?
I was lucky enough for Rel to allow me to help him out.
I came to Rel as a fan.
Dude, I'm a fan.
I would love to produce you a special.
Me and Rel had a conversation.
I said, I want you to do it your way.
I just want to help.
I'm a fan.
I'm a fan of the craft.
I love comedy.
I love watching the ones that did it before me,
and I love watching the ones that did it before me, and I love watching the
ones that are coming up after me.
If you take nothing else from this interview,
you can take the fact that I
want to see other people win, and I'm not
selfish with my position.
So, for all of our black people out there
that want to see more people of color
in a position where they're winning,
ask yourself if you're a part of the solution
or the problem. It's that simple. We love you for ask yourself if you're part of the solution or the problem.
It's that simple.
We love you for being honest, man.
One of the things that you're super honest about that's been intriguing me lately
is the fact that you be getting your hair dyed
and your beard dyed,
because I got gray spray.
Yeah, it's up up here.
But he has hair, at least.
No, no, no.
He does have hair.
He does have hair.
He has a good head of hair.
I definitely got a dye-heen.
He's the only dude out here that's honest about it.
Yeah, he is.
I think I was using the wrong color
for a minute.
Because of my...
No, I was going dark brown, but when it go back,
my turn like a dirty blonde.
I had one girl,
you washing your head? She's like, your head look dirty.
I was like, what the hell are you talking about?
This is my natural color. I'm like, what the f*** are you talking about? This ain't nobody's business.
This is my natural color.
I'm thinking about getting something for the bed.
Not the Beijing.
I don't do that.
Oh, so it's not Beijing.
No, no, no.
I don't do that.
F***, you got some rich s*** there.
Even when you wiped your forehead just now,
ain't nothing came off.
No, no, no.
You got to go a good product.
The last thing you want to do,
especially when you're married,
is get up from a pillowcase with a s***.
Well, you got to explain yourself.
No, no, no.
I wash my ass. I ain't got s*** to. No, no, no. I washed my ass.
I ain't got shit to do.
It's the dye.
It's the Beijing.
The Beijing is coming out.
So it's not the shade of secret.
No, it is not Beijing.
I'm not going to do that publicly because it's my secret.
I'll tell you off air, though.
I'll tell you off air.
I got a nice product, man.
And, you know, here's the thing.
You can't overdo it.
Right.
Do it when it's necessary.
Sometimes embrace the gray.
Let that shit go out and just look like Morgan Freeman for a good two weeks. Just accept it. Accept it. Right. Do it when it's necessary. Sometimes embrace the gray. Let that go out and just look like Morgan Freeman for a good two weeks.
Just accept it.
And then after that, surprise and hit everybody with the young you.
Who trying to go dance?
Night School is out next week.
Make sure you go check it out.
Make sure you support.
So listen, if all these people apologize, it'll be all good, right?
Listen, I'm not here for drama, brother.
Okay.
It's not about the apology.
It's not about, like, me and Cat don't ever have to talk or we can't talk.
It doesn't matter.
It's not going to affect me in any way.
I am about support.
That's it.
I'm going to support that man.
I'm going to be a fan forever.
Whether I like him or whether we don't like each other, I'm a fan.
Because I'm a fan of his talent.
So it has nothing to do with that.
I want to make that very clear. This has nothing to do
with that. This is not a beef. This is correcting
what you said that you know you shouldn't
have said. This is about you embracing
your fails, your f*** ups,
and you acknowledging what you did
and stop pointing a finger at everybody
else. Eventually, you got to point it back
to you. Well, thank you for joining us.
And Tip will be back. Tip got two more movies coming out this year.
Yeah. What are the movies? Tell them.
Oh, I got The Oath coming out in October
and then I got another movie called Nobody's Fool
coming out in November. Aren't you on TV too?
Ah, yeah. I'm on TV on the show called
The Last OG and I got some
more Groupon commercials coming and I got
some seasonings. So. And a Netflix special?
Oh, and my Netflix special's
coming and then I'm also gonna bring
up six other comics in that special
What do you mean?
I'm doing a Tiffany Haddish Presents
My Favorite Comedians
And it's like comics that have been doing comedy
For more than ten years
That deserve a chance to shine
Hold on, so you mean to tell me
You got put in a position of power
So now you're putting other people on
Yeah, that's what you're supposed to do
That's what my big brother taught me
Wow
It gets transferred down, man
Give me a second
I wanna run down stuff I got going on.
You guys got a second?
Just before we get out of here, we got a second?
Okay.
I just need a good 67 seconds.
I timed it out earlier.
Okay.
First and foremost, night school.
That's the priority, guys.

First movie underneath the production company of mine,
Heartbeat Productions. So I need your support.
Other than that, got a drama coming out.

We love you guys.

It's Kevin Hart.
That's good.
That's good.
Thank you guys.
And we do have to say congratulations
while you guys are both up here.
Honestly, I know we're all cool with each other and we joke around a lot,
but that's huge that you guys are doing so much, so many big things.
So congratulations to Tiffany and to Kevin.
Thank you guys.
Inspirational.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Love y'all.
Appreciate y'all.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
You get dunked here today.
Yeah, you dunk ass.
You get dunked here today.
Yeah, you dunk ass. You are a donkey.
It's time for donkey of the day.
I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes.
They want this man to throw them blows, man.
They waiting for Charlamagne to tap them 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.
The breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day. They chose you. The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Who's donkey of the day today?
All right, listen, man.
Charlemagne Tha God here.
I'm on vacation.
I don't give a damn what y'all think about that
because I deserve it.
Now, the Breakfast Club is in 80-plus markets
in 150 countries,
so we have a lot of new listeners
who probably don't even know who Charlemagne Tha God is.
So use my time off to catch up on some of my past work, okay?
Okay.
If you're new here, I do a segment every day called Donkey of the Day.
Donkey as in jackass, and that's when I give someone the credit they deserve for being
stupid.
So if you've never heard of it, this is new to you, but if you are a regular listener,
then this is an oldie but goodie because it's the best of the donkey of the day.
Donkey of the Day goes to a queen from Queens named Nicki Minaj.
Drop one of the clues bombs from Nicki Minaj.
Okay.
Now, it's rare that you see someone play themselves the way Nicki Minaj. Drop on the clues bombs for Nicki Minaj. Okay. Now, it's rare that you see someone play themselves
the way Nicki Minaj played herself on social media.
Now, if you are not aware of what happened,
the Billboard charts for this week came out,
and once again, Travis Scott,
regardless of what Onika says,
has the number one album in the country with Astroworld.
Drop on the clues bombs for Travis Scott.
Travis sold 205,000 units with 78,000 from traditional sales.
Nicki Minaj has the number two album in the country
with 185,000 units
and 78,000 of her albums from traditional sales.
Drop on the Clues Monster with Nicki Minaj again.
Okay?
Because Queen, to me, is a good body of work.
I have slight critique,
like I probably would have shortened it to just 12 songs.
I also would like to hear a little more
growth out of Nicki when it comes to her content.
But I still think, in my opinion, that Queen is a good body of work.
And it's a good body of work that sold 185,000 albums in its first week.
I think that's more than respectable.
I think that's a win.
But Nicki Minaj, ladies and gentlemen, is a sore winner.
And it's very, very, very rare that you come across a sore winner.
But Nicki is one of them.
Nicki responded to the news of her having the number two album in the country by tweeting,
Travis sold over 50,000 of these.
By 50,000 of these, she means merchandise, right?
With no requirement of redeeming the album, with no dates for a tour, etc.
I spoke to him.
He knows he doesn't have the number one album this week.
I love my fans for the number one album in America.
Now, when she says 50,000
to be, she's talking about tour passes, merchandise.
What is she talking about? Does anybody know?
I think it's a merch.
I think if you buy
the t-shirt or whatever it may be, I think you also get
the album. I know I got Dan who works up here, loves
merch, and he bought some of the Travis Scott merch.
So I guess it comes with the album.
Whatever it was, I'm just here to tell Nikki,
no, Travis does not know he doesn't have the number one album in the country because we're all looking at the same. Whatever it was. I'm just here to tell Nikki, no, Travis does not know
he doesn't have the number one album in the country
because we are all looking at the same numbers.
You are.
He has the number one album in the country, okay?
You have the number two album in the country, all right?
He sold $205,000.
You sold $185,000.
I don't care what bundles came with the album.
So what if Travis Scott sold merch with album
or tour passes with his album?
Last time I checked, Nicki, you bundled
concert tickets with your album too. So I'm really
trying to see what is the issue here, okay?
Let's look at everyone who Nicki blamed for being
number two, alright? She blamed
Travis Scott for selling merch along with his
album. She blamed Kylie Jenner for tweeting
about Travis Scott's album. She blamed Stormi
for being a cute little baby whose daddy happens to be
Travis Scott and he made the album. She blamed
Spotify for putting Drake on every playlist,
but claimed Spotify told her they would have to teach
her a lesson for playing her music 10 minutes early
on Apple Radio. Nicki Minaj,
you are blaming everyone like you lost
something. You have watched too much
Talladega Nights because this quote has to
be stuck in your brain. You ain't first,
you're last. But I'm telling you, that's not true.
Okay, it's okay. You put out a good
body of work, and you sold 185,000 records.
Why are you being a sore winner?
Nothing you're doing is queen-like.
I mean, okay, let's just say, you know, let's just say all these people are to blame for you having the number two album in the country.
Okay, well, who's to blame for you having the number two album in 2015?
Nicki's last album, The Pink Print, debuted at number two with 244,000 albums
sold. Okay, I don't remember her tripping
off being number two then, so what's the problem now?
And this album, Queen, is better to
me than The Pinkprint. So the most important thing
is you put out a good body of work because
nobody was canceling you because they wanted you
gone from the game. People were saying they just wasn't feeling
you musically anymore. So to hear you
back musically is all I ever wanted.
So for you to have the number two
album in the country is cool. Okay? I just
want to know why you don't think this is okay. This is
your second consecutive number
two album. It's the second
biggest debut week from a female rapper in
2018 behind Cardi B's Invasion of
Privacy. The meltdown you had on social media
wasn't warranted because you won.
And for all the Bobs out there who are
in my mentions right now,
ready to slander me all day for giving Nicki donkey a day.
How about take that energy to Apple?
Take it to title,
take it to Spotify,
take it to record stores.
Instead of putting energy into slandering people who you think hate Nicki Minaj,
go support her music.
Every time you think about slandering me today or sending me a nasty tweet or
leaving me an IG caption,
just think to yourself,
damn,
I could be screaming Nicki's music right now.
I'm purchasing her music, okay?
Nicki, activate your barbs to buy your albums
and not slander people who you have issues with.
It's way more productive, all right?
I saw Nicki on Academics page Saturday when he posted the billboard numbers,
and she put, this is wrong.
Okay, real numbers come on Sunday.
And then she put fake news, sounding just like Trump.
She was right, though, because the numbers on Saturday with Travis Scott sells two hundred and twenty five thousand with the number one album.
And they had Nikki selling one hundred and ninety thousand, but still the number two album.
OK, so she was right, you know, on everything except for the actual record sales.
And all I'm saying is you could be number one next week if you get people to focus on the album instead of the antics. Okay, the album is actually good. Put out more singles,
do more videos. You're so busy worrying about what you don't have that you're not focusing on
what you have. And what you have is a good body of work, a loyal fan base, and a number two
standing on the billboard charts this week. You have a lot to build off, Nikki. Okay,
you are a God-fearing woman. So you know as well as I do that what we don't appreciate,
we risk losing. If you drop to number eight or number 10 next week, you are a God-fearing woman, so you know as well as I do that what we don't appreciate, we risk losing.
If you drop to number eight or number ten next week, you're going to wish you was back at number two.
So, Nikki, stop being a sore winner because you won.
You did it on them, all right?
Let's celebrate you having the number two album in the country.
All the Bobs, let's celebrate.
Play my joint, please.
Play my...
What the hell is that?
Oh, that's my joint. Play my joint. You don Play my... What the hell is that? Oh, that's my joint.
Play my joint.
You don't even know your song.
Nicki did it on them, baby.
She did it on them.
Come on, now.
Number two album in the country.
Put your number twos in the air if you did it on them.
You could have at least played something on Queen.
No, play that again.
I want the number twos in the air because Nicki did it on them.
She got the number two album in the air because Nicki did it on them.
She got the number two album in the country.
We're going to celebrate.
I'm tired of her being a star winner, okay?
Envy, do it.
You're from Queens.
Angela Yee, do it.
Envy don't want to compete. I'm the only person.
Envy was the only queen for Queens.
Put your number twos in the air.
You did it on them.
All right, now.
Come on, now.
I got my twos up.
I did. I put mine up. Yours got my twos up. I did.
I put mine up.
Yours is like a peace sign, Envy.
Nikki, what you don't appreciate, you will lose.
Please let Remy Ma give Nikki Minaj the big hee-haw.
Oh, wow.
That's disrespectful.
Hee-haw.
You stupid mother f***er.
Wow.
Why you got to use Remy Ma?
I use Remy Ma every day.
You can't use anybody else.
Wow.
I haven't heard you use that in months.
You ain't use that.
Stop it.
Now, why y'all going to do that?
Usually it's, these are the doggies.
See what I'm saying?
I'm in here trying to give constructive criticism.
I'm in here trying to give constructive criticism.
You petty, man.
And look what y'all telling me to do.
You petty.
I got my number twos in the air.
You petty, bro.
Nicki Minaj got the number two album in the country.
$185,000 sold.
It's a good body of work. Drop one of Clues Bomb from Nicki Minaj, the number two album in the country. $185,000 sold. It's a good body of work.
Drop one of Clues' bombs for Nicki Minaj, damn it.
Okay?
But no, I need to hear the number twos in the air
because Nicki did it on them.
You petty, bro.
Number two album in the country.
You petty, bro.
Second consecutive number two album.
Pinkprint was number two.
You petty.
That's crazy. Only Clues could fix this. You know what? Put your number twos in the air to celebrate the number two album in the country.
Get them, Barb.
She won.
No, go get that album, Barb.
Go get them, Barb.
Go get that album, Barb.
We got time today.
Go get that album, Barb.
All right, we got more coming up next.
We're The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have a special young lady
with us this morning.
Yes, sir.
Comedian Lunel.
Yo.
Now, let the record show,
Lunel asked me to undress her this morning.
No, you didn't.
So if it ever comes out later,
she didn't give me consent. No, me too over here. I seen you pull her shirt off. She asked me to undress her this morning. No, you did. So if it ever comes out later that she didn't give me consent.
No, me too over here.
I seen you put her shirt on.
She asked me to.
Okay.
And we always do what we're asked to do,
don't we, Charlamagne?
Yes.
Be a good boy.
Mommy don't have to spank you.
Now, I walked outside
and I heard Charlamagne say,
whack shit nasty.
And then I heard Lunel yell out,
I like him nasty. Yes, whack shit nasty, and then I heard Lunell yell out, I like them nasty.
Yes, child, nasty is good.
People ain't nasty no more.
They can't be.
They get in trouble nowadays, especially comedians.
Well, you be nasty with your mate.
You know, be nasty with your partner.
That's what happens.
You get in these relationships, you quit being nasty.
Now there go your man out the motherfucking door
after the next nasty bitch.
You should have stayed the nasty bitch you was
when he met you. So you think that's what it is?
You think women are just afraid to be freaks nowadays?
I don't think they're afraid. I just think
that, well, I think a lot of women are
inhibited. Okay.
Especially maybe some of my
big sisters out here because you feel like
oh, you know, this
**** ain't tight
and this is rolling
and all that.
And it is.
But you just got,
there's a whole crew
of motherfuckers out there
who love that shit.
Yeah.
I know.
I got one.
It's going to be skinny
for sure.
You got you a man
that loves the,
what, the rolls?
He does.
Are you married?
Okay.
I've been married
for 17 years.
On the low. Don't tell for 17 years. On the low.
Don't tell the boys that.
On the low.
Yeah, I keep it on the low.
I don't put my husband on social media, no pictures,
because if they do that face recognition in the penitentiary,
we're f***ed then.
There he goes, back to the yard.
Do you still enjoy comedy?
Because it seems like comedy has gotten a little tighter now.
There's certain things you say now, you get in trouble.
I don't get in trouble for saying anything.
I say absolutely everything that's on my mind,
but I've been that way for 30 years.
They call me the original bad girl of comedy.
I've had a mouth on me since the gate.
I think it might have helped me back then.
I was even too dirty to be on Def Jam, if you can believe that.
Really? And I'm swole about that.
Studio 54 and Def Jam.
I never got the experience in New York.
I'm dead. They told you that?
No, they didn't tell me, but they just
didn't ever let me do it. I'm the only fool
that came through that era that didn't
do Def Jam, but I did nine seasons of Comic View,
which is way cleaner than
Def Jam was. They just was hating on me, but I did nine seasons of Comic View, which is way cleaner than Def Jam was. They just was hating
on me, but
I made it despite that.
And the times have changed.
So now, you know,
my sort of
style or genre is almost
missing a really blue
female who is what they call
guy funny. You know, not just funny
to the women, but funny to the dudes too.
It makes me very happy to look out
there and see men bent over
and spitting out their drink and stuff like that
because men come not
expecting to enjoy a female comic.
You come just to appease your guy
go see this broad. But when you
really kill it, that's why they call
me El Murder. The L is for
Lunell Murders because I'm killing these bitches
out here.
So that's why when
guys come in and they
see me and I see them having a great time
it's wonderful. To answer
your question, yes I do still enjoy comedy.
Everybody
knows that I have a problem
with the insta-fame
quote unquote comedians.
I just wish there was another name for them besides comic.
Because, you know, I think of comics, I'm thinking of Lenny Bruce and, you know,
Rodney Winfield and Robin Harris and Pryor and Cosby and Joan Rivers and Miles Mabry.
Those are comics to me.
But, you know, just because you have 387,000 likes does not a comic make.
You haven't done anything.
There's beauty in the struggle.
Sure, everybody wants to make it fast and quick.
But there's beauty in the struggle.
What stories are you going to be able to tell that led up to your legacy?
Not.
You're not going to have no stories
to tell. Oh, because I got so many
likes and they picked me up from YouTube
and I got my own show and that
was 15 years ago and now nobody knows
who the f*** I am anymore.
Isn't it like another form of comedy?
You got stand-up. It is another form of comedy.
Yeah, some comedians are funny on TV,
some in movies, some online.
Right.
I mean, it is a genre for sure.
And, you know, I'm
just as prone to do a
video as anybody else.
But I'm not basing and hoping
my career on that, you know, but I'm already
established. These kids gotta get in
however they fit in, and I ain't mad at them.
It's just that when
you have to serve it up,
when you have to get off Instagram and go into a club,
and you got 350 people looking at you like, what you got?
Then you need to have something behind that,
because, you know, that time's going to run out,
and you're going to look f***ing stupid.
Does it bother you that a lot of these, I guess,
Insta comedians are getting people in the building,
they're getting a lot of money, and they're not really funny at times?
Yes, of course it bothers me and not only me.
I'm just one of the people who speak out about this because I'm not a fake bitch.
You know, I know it bothers a lot of us OGs because they're getting paid more than us.
And it's not even, I don't do it for the money, but I certainly would like to get compensated
for being one of the bad ones out here.
You know what I mean?
And you see people just, you know,
buying houses and shit,
and they've been on YouTube for like three years.
It's like, this is bulls**t.
So I'm not going to lie and say it don't bother me.
It bothers a lot of people,
but I don't know who's going to say it, but I will.
You know what I hate?
I hate that comedians are being so politically correct nowadays because y'all don't have to be. I don't know who's going to say it, but I will. You know what I hate? I hate that comedians are being so politically correct
nowadays because y'all don't have to be. I don't.
And I'm not.
And, you know, I was out in Nyack.
I wasn't in Brooklyn.
And my audience was like 80%
white. And I guarantee you I didn't
change Narae word because
I can. You know, I can
go entertain the Jewish
city council as well as
go to the YMCA and do a show.
But I don't change it because
my subject matter is
mostly child relationship
and sex based.
Which is universal.
Anybody white, anybody Latino,
anybody trans, anybody anything
can come to my show and they're gonna fall out laughing
because everything is universal.
My audiences are like
on a cruise ship, you know what I mean?
You just come to have fun and you're sitting
next to Joe Bob, who's sitting next to Jamal,
who's sitting next to Becky, you know,
and everybody's all there together.
And that's what I like being able to do.
Alright, we have more with Luenell when we come back.
Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy,
Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Comedian Lou Nell's
in the building.
Now, we had Monique up here
a couple of months ago,
and we were talking
about her Netflix special.
What did you think about that?
Because you're an OG comedian.
I saw the picture
you posted on Instagram.
You said,
Netflix, I'll take
that goddamn money.
Yeah, I will take that money.
Let's be clear. But first of all, I'll take that goddamn money. Yeah, I will take that money, let's be clear.
But, first of all,
I've said, and I say at the beginning of my shows on stage, no matter what
you think about her, no matter
what you've heard about her husband,
that's all irrelevant. She's
f***ing right, like we're underpaid.
Angela Bassett
has said the same thing.
Viola Davis has spoke on it as well.
And, you know, every now and then I like to see somebody who don't give a f**k
and they just name, name, call people on their s**t
and let the chips fall where they may.
Now, I wouldn't do it like that, you know.
I'm going to leave that to her.
But, you know, two years from now she'll do something else amazing.
They'll be all on her d**k again.
I've seen this a hundred times.
You know what I mean?
You go down, you come back up.
But somebody had to speak on the issue.
At least the issue is being spoke about now.
Right.
And so I thank her for that.
So what happens when the next, like, what would it say?
Somebody like a Tiffany Haddish, when she gets paid from Netflix?
Well, she's gotten paid.
She's gotten paid.
Yes, yes.
Well, Tiffany is a friend of mine, I like to think.
And I think that she is riding the f***ing wave right now.
What you gonna do?
Not take the money?
Goddamn right.
You know, and the wave don't always last forever.
So you better grab it.
She's cute, she's young, she's perky, she's quirky.
She acts kind of stupid, but she ain't stupid.
Not at all.
At all.
And I really don't think that the Illuminati
is going to be able to come for her
without her snitching them out.
She's holding on to that Beyonce bite story pretty tough.
But I think if the Illuminati come and Tiffany had it,
they'll be the f*** with the wrong bitch
because she's going to put a,
you know these motherf***ers came to me
talking to me about that bulls***, you know. And I just don't think she's going to put on, you know these motherfuckers came to me talking to me about that bitch, you know.
And I just don't think she's going to change.
I think she's going to remain the chick that she is, you know.
I agree, too.
Which is refreshing.
And plus, she's older, though,
so it's not like she knew, you know what I mean?
Right, she didn't just pop up,
but that's what it looks like, you know.
She just popped up out of the sky.
No, you can Google her and go back, see Tiffany doing the s*** and poorly dressed.
Now, you pose naked.
Yeah, for Penthouse.
For who?
Google the picture right now.
Man, no.
Let me see.
What I got to Google?
Lunel naked?
Lunel Penthouse.
You want to see them black and white?
Yeah.
No, he want to see it in color.
Let me see.
I want to see that melanin.
Let me see.
That's not all you want to see.
Why did you decide to pose naked?
Well, because they said okay.
You know, I had already directed a photo shoot for Penthouse.
It was a series they had called Pop Shots.
Stevie J did one.
I did one.
Dave Navarro did one.
And you get to pick the models you want.
They give you a mansion, and you can be in the pool or in the bed or in the kitchen.
So we took over the mansion, and I got everybody I wanted.
I wanted a boy who looked like Fabio.
We got my boy Alejandro.
I wanted a chocolate sister.
The light-skinned bitches get all the shine, so I wanted a dark-skinned sister.
Yeah, and then I wanted
a red-haired white girl,
not a blonde or brunette.
See, look at that.
It took three hours
to do that graffiti on my back.
Go ahead and do now.
See them tits?
That's right.
They real?
Yeah, they real feelin'.
No, no.
Don't be scared.
No, no.
If you're scared,
go to church, all right?
Because somebody's gonna screenshot the picture with just me with my hands on your t-shirt.
I'm going to get a t-shirt that says, I gave permission.
I gave permission.
Did Penthouse pay good?
Um, no, unfortunately.
They did not.
But the, and I thought that, see, I want that picture with the graffiti on my back.
I want that to eventually hit the Jumbotron in Times Square.
You never know.
Hell, I might host New Year's Eve, Rockin' Eve one day down there.
You never know.
Everything is possible.
Right.
Everything is possible if you believe the Bible say that.
There you go.
You know that Remy bring out the scripture in the video.
I see.
And even in these pictures in penthouse, you had your cup of yak?
Yeah, I did.
What about it?
Deaf comedy, James.
You said you never did it, right?
Never did it.
So when you heard the allegations about Russell, how did you feel?
How do I handle this?
Take a sip.
Take a sip first.
Let me sip now.
Take a sip first.
Take a sip first.
Take a sip first.
Take a sip first. All right. There you go. now. Take a sip first. Take a sip first. Take a sip first. Take a sip first.
All right, there you go.
All right, now.
Now, ask the question again, Charlamagne.
Now, so you didn't do Def Comedy Jam,
so when you heard the allegations about Russell,
how did you feel?
Well, that had nothing to do with me not doing Def Jam.
That was the work of Bob Sumner,
who used to cast the...
My guy, Bob.
I know Bob.
He's my man.
Yeah, I used to get weed for Bob
when he come to Oakland.
How about that, Bob?
But he would never put you on a deaf comedy jam.
No.
But that's okay.
Well, there's things that I know.
Uh-oh.
And there's things that I probably shouldn't say on your very popular radio slash television show.
But I'll tell you something in your ear when we get off here.
And I just know them allegations, they probably going to stick.
God damn.
Jesus Christ, you might as well just say what you know now.
Jesus Christ.
Let me see.
Pour some more Remy, Sean.
Why don't you pour a little more Remy over there?
Oh, don't ply me with alcohol.
Give me something right in here.
This is exactly how a lot of them... That's all I here. That's exactly how I lie.
That's all I need.
What was the question?
Ask the question again, Charlamagne.
I'm not going down there.
Ask me something else. You're going to get me murdered
before I get up out this.
What do you think about other comedians
critiquing other comedians publicly?
Saying they're not funny and stuff like that.
Faison came up and said Dave Chappelle wasn't funny at one time.
I think Michael Blackson was, you know, had his little stuff with Kevin Hart.
Well, if I was to do that, I'd have beef with everybody.
So I don't do, I don't really, I just,
the only people I ever really talk about is the millennial social media comedians.
That's it.
I don't really hate on my fellow comedians because we're really all in the same game.
Right.
You know, I think the older comedians
do show some loyalty.
Now, FaZe, you know, his old fat bitter ass,
he came over here and talked s*** about me before too,
but I just let it roll off my back
and then I called him.
He did?
Did he?
Yeah, he said, I think it was,
no, was it a year?
I might have been on Sway.
By Sway.
What did he say?
Yeah.
Oh, just some old stupid shit.
You know, something that totally ain't got shit to do with nothing.
I don't pay a phase on no mind.
We've been friendly for years.
I done got p***y for phase on.
So he need to shut the f*** up when it come to me.
And let's just all play nice in the sound box and be friends.
And he'll probably watch this and say, that bitch ain't never got no pussy for me.
Well, you don't think he gets it on his own, do you?
No.
No.
Now I'm in trouble.
No, you're all right.
You're fine.
Now this shit gonna go down.
You're fine.
That fat, funky bitch, fuck Lunell.
What else you got, bitch?
I'm fat.
You ain't got no more dicks than that.
Okay.
We have more with Lunell, comedian. When we come back You ain't got no more d*** than that. Okay. We have more with Lou Nell,
comedian.
When we come back,
don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy,
Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have Lou Nell,
comedian in the building.
Charlamagne?
Now, Tori Hart,
she said that she's cool
with side chicks.
Would you be okay
with your husband
having a side chick?
Nah.
Nah.
Actually, would I be okay with me having a side piece?
Would you be okay with having a side piece, Lunell?
Yeah.
Why you look out the window?
Because my husband's right out there.
But the n***a that I want to give it to is right over there with them Tims on.
That's my man Wax.
That's Wax on. Wax off.
Tell Wax to come in.
Uh-uh.
Uh-uh.
Leave him there.
Leave him there.
Tell him to come in real quick.
I'll make my top lip moist.
Tell him to come in.
Uh-uh. He'll make me sweat
on my top lip.
Don't do that to me.
Tell him to come in.
Don't do that.
See, my husband
stays in his lane.
He can't hear.
He can't hear.
I know that.
He can't hear no way.
Wax, sit down.
You know I want to give you some s***, man.
Yeah.
You know, I didn't say that.
He said you don't think he can handle it.
I didn't say that, but it's absolutely accurate, and you're probably accurate as well.
Yeah.
She said she's like, I'm nasty.
How nasty?
Real nasty.
How nasty?
Tell me something.
I mean...
You don't like to eat ass, huh?
Oh, well tell me something. I mean... You don't like to eat ass, huh? Oh, well then forget it.
I gots to have that.
You got out of that?
I gots to have that.
I gots to have it.
But you like your butt.
Why?
Well, my ass is sweet, I've been told.
I stay very clean.
I'm a bath girl.
I believe that...
...seas and booties should go under f***ing water.
I get it.
Yeah, but that's... like, when you wash it.
If you smelled my ass right now, you would go,
f***.
Wack, smell it and let's see.
Let me see.
Come here.
Come here.
Let me see what you got.
Back it up on him one time, Lunar.
See, you ain't really mad.
Let me see.
Back it up on him one time.
Ooh, smell it.
Ooh.
Smell it.
Smell it.
Smell it.
Smell it. Tell me it. Smell it. Smell it.
Tell me what that thing smell like.
What'd that booty do?
You in trouble.
I'm in trouble, too.
It's all over.
We may as well make a plan because we're both f***ing up.
Oh, my God.
Thanks, Wax.
Oh, I would give him the business, that motherf***er right there. Thanks, wax.
I would give him the business that motherfucker right there.
Oh, fuck.
Don't get it wrong.
I love my motherfucking husband.
I love him like a bitch.
I'd kill a bitch about that motherfucker.
But, you know,
I don't mean I don't want to fuck a wax.
Have you ever cheated on your husband?
Yeah.
He knows?
Why you say it like that?
Like, duh.
Because we were separated
for a while.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know?
Like, we've been married
17 years,
but all them years
wasn't in a row.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We had little summer siestas.
I like how you clean that up.
Yeah.
I'm clean.
Child of man.
Now, you were
Wendy Williams'
comedy coach, too, right? I was. There was a comedy Charlamagne. Now, you were Wendy Williams' comedy coach, too, right?
I was.
There was a comedy coach, too.
What did you do?
Well, it was amazing how it even came about because just the day before I got the call,
Chris Rock was on the show, and I'm like, she could call anybody in the world and get
them, but she called me.
That was a blessing.
And see, Wendy did it right.
She hired somebody to help.
She would do a comedy like in the studio at night,
you know, to the crew and stuff.
And then she would send me tapes
and I would critique and send my comments back.
And then when she did the show in Vegas, Lipstick, then I was there. And then when she did the show in Vegas, Lipstick, then I was there.
And then when she did a show in New Jersey
in J-Pac, then I was there too.
And I was actually on the bill with her.
But don't you gotta hit them comedy clubs, though?
Because if you're doing comedy,
you need to prove it.
No, stay the f*** out the club.
See, Wendy don't need that.
She got her own built-in audience already.
Wherever she go, it's going to sell out.
Gotcha.
So she don't need to fuck with the club.
Leave the club for real.
Comics are working out.
She did her shit in theaters.
If you're Wendy, why not do a theater?
Why your ass in the club?
Did you consider her a friend?
Well, she's not real friendly like that.
Okay.
She's friendly, but only to a point.
She does that thing, that social distance type thing.
So what I consider a friend, I could call to answer the phone. She's friendly, but only to a point. She does that thing, that social distance type thing.
But I could say, no, a friend I could call to answer the phone.
A friend I could call and ask for money.
Wendy ain't neither one of them.
Did you see it when she passed out?
What did you think of that?
Well, I thought it was terrible, but I sure want to go out like that.
What do you mean?
I want to drop right on stage in front of everybody.
F*** it. Go out with a bang.
Go viral, bitch.
That's how you want to die?
Yeah.
No, you don't.
Come on, stop.
Yeah.
Do you know there's a thing on YouTube, you know,
stars who died right before the audience's eyes.
The whole slew of people.
I could be on there.
Would you rather die on stage or on Wax's face?
On stage, f*** away.
Where you at this weekend? Where you at coming up?
I'm in Denver.
No, Dayton. I'm in Dayton. Dayton, Colorado.
Where is it? Dayton, Ohio?
She don't know.

Please come back. I gotta tell you,
I'm so excited to be sitting here

asses I've sat before, and I always say,
God damn it, don't the Breakfast Club want to talk to me?
Yeah.
I want to talk to them.

Wow.

You're on top

Let me rub that head of yours, Charlemagne.
Let me just slide in that.
Charlemagne is uncomfortable.
Are you going to use any type of lubricant or is it just dry and rough?
Oh, you know I'm going to have some lubricant for him.
That word that you just said,

Oh, no. I'm already there once I

But I'd definitely be licking you

So you're just licking my back?
I'll go to the small
of your back. I'll flip you over so quick
and give you an F5
down there in your cancer don't you?
What the hell is an F5 on it? What's a cancer don't you?
That's a car.
An F5 is the strongest tornado.
I thought that was Brock Lesnar's finishing move.
I thought he was going to body slam her vagina.
He's not turning me on, man.
He got to go.
Hello, who's this?
It's not for you, Envy.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Wow.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Rewind that.

Wow.
Envy got jealous. What's wrong with you on Friday, bro? Okay, DJ Je just said, you're not turning me on. Wow. Envy got jealous.
Yo, you learn something wrong with you on Friday, bro.
Okay, DJ Jealousy, I see you.
Jesus Christ, this guy want to play flag football right now.
He want me to tie the flag around my penis.
What?
Hello?
Hello?
Oh, you want to go at Charlamagne?
Nah, I want to go at you, Envy.
There you go.
Okay.
Go get him now.
Equal opportunity here, baby.
Go get him.
You know he like a Popeye's biscuit or yellow. There you go. He. Equal opportunity here, baby. Go get him. You know he's like a Popeye's biscuit or yellow.
There you go.
He's wearing over there.
I have a hoodie on.
I have boxer briefs on, long johns, and jeans.
Okay, he's very explicit.
This is sexy.
He's got on sweats.
I'm trying to butter you down and eat you all up.
Is this what you call fluidity?
So when you say butter him down,
what does this butter consist of? Oh, boy.
Oh, he hung up. Alright.
It's not that you hung up on him, Emmy. Stop hanging up on
people. I think you hung up on him, bro.
You wanted some attention and you got it.
And now you can't handle it.
I used to call you a waffle-colored negro
because you remind me of a waffle from IHOP.
But Popeye's biscuits, especially when they cook right,
that's a little bit more your speed, huh?
It's all right.
Lisa.
Yes.
Who do you want to have phone sex with?
I'm going to have phone sex with Charlemagne and you, DJ Envy.
Okay, that's it.
We're going to make this a three-way.
We married.
Three-way!
Three-way!
Go ahead. We married, though. Wow, you. Three-way! Treyway! Go ahead.
We married, though.
Wow, you want Treyway in it, too?
Go ahead, Lisa.
Come on, little dirty daddy.
I want to know why they call you the god.
Whoa.
Get over here and let me rub on that bald head of yours.
And Evie.
Huh?
Thanks, this big ass.
I want you to spank it.
I want you to spank it. And I want you to spank it I want you to spank it
And I want you to make me scream
Can you make me scream daddy
I'm trying
Envy is a married man
I'm a married man
He said I'm trying
And I'm going to be honest with you
What makes me the most comfortable
About this whole situation
That was so weak Envy
Is being naked in a room
With DJ Envy
I don't know how that could
I don't know
I don't trust
I don't trust Envy
I'm going to be honest with you
I don't trust my bare could... I don't trust Envy. I'm going to be honest with you.
I don't trust my bare butt outside running.
Charlamagne, it seems like people love that bald head.
Huh?
She wants dark meat.
You like dark and white meat?
When we found out this morning that Envy's a biscuit.
So therefore you'd have some dark meat and a biscuit.
Okay?
Thank you, Lisa.
That bald head is getting a lot of attention, Charlamagne.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, man, I'm about to cry.
I hated how Envy said,
I'm trying.
Trying not to laugh. Alright, we got
more coming up next. We're The Breakfast Club.
EJ, Envy, Angela
Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast
Club. You got a positive note for the people?
Now, the positive note is simply this.
You are where you're supposed to be at this very moment.
Every experience is part of God's plan.
Breakfast Club, bitches!
Y'all finished or y'all done?
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?
Bullets.

the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a
chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
