Right? And I will tell y'all, and everybody knows, and I know I'll be criticized for this, and you know Diddy throw some of the best parties you'll ever go to. But you ain't have to be between his legs.

But listen, you just got to know. You know, you got to know. I was between his legs. R. Kelly flew you in. Op You know, you gotta know. I was between his legs. R. Kelly flew you in. Wait, wait, wait, wait. No, get a close up. Get a close up. Yo, you've been trafficked.

Did you get trafficked or not? I victim blamed. Have you been groomed since Desert Storm? Have you been groomed since Desert Storm? Have you been groomed? Answer the question. I got a question. I have a question.

Who's that? I have a question. I'm presenting all evidence. My question, whose lap was better, Diddy's or Wendy's? I don't know what you're talking about. Wow. You did sit on Wendy's lap. Charlamagne, you did sit on Wendy's lap.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're trying to skip the subject. What? Did you? Okay, what is the definition of trafficking? What is the definition? When somebody flies you out or puts you on a boat. What?

So both of y'all was trafficking. Both of y'all was trafficking. With the intention of what? Sex. Okay, I don't know if that's the case with you. No, it wasn't. You got flued. Yeah, we were doing a mixtape.

And what? Did you ever see him? No. Did he have you in a special room? Did he have incense or anything? No, no. Nothing like that. Did you ever see him? No. So you... You're a victim. You are a victim. I'm not a victim. You got

traffic. They said you got traffic to mud you like a crossing guard now, son. Yo, that's what I'm not a victim. You got traffic. He flew me out to do a mixtape. They said you got traffic so much you're like a crossing guard now, son. Yo, that's what I'm saying. How you get, what song was playing? What song was playing when you was waiting in the room for him? No, he flew me out to do a mixtape. Don't say flew, flew. No, he didn't flew.

You know what flew means. We were doing a mixtape. Bong, bong, bong. You know what flew means. He was mixing it up. Did you complete the mixtape? No, I did not. But question,

was you sitting in between Diddy's legs before the picture was took? I slipped. Or did you pose for that? I slipped. He posed. You were smiling.

His hands are be smiling. Let me explain. You slipped and you were smiling. You were here. That was a trip in St. Martin, St. Bart some years ago. And he does a holiday party every year.

You were there. And I was there. I was there with a lot of other people. it wasn't now you want to switch on other people oh yeah it was it was dave right hey this picture crazy like yo it ain't just me i don't know russell simmons no it wasn't no stitch this is what you got to understand. You got this party, you got that party. And that party was a great party.

My son was on that yacht with me. We had a great time. So I understand like now, if you say you went to any party, you just assume it was the freak off. That's what, it wasn't the case. And we had a good time. You never got invited to the freak off. But I will say, I don't know what was in that vodka

because it felt like I had a hole full of hair on that yacht. I don't know. It was something special in that vodka. I felt light skin for a second. So that's why you sat between his legs? So he started rubbing the fake hair? No, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't sit.

Yo, he was braiding your fake hair? Yo, Dono, you felt like you had hair, so you told me to sit between his legs? This is his knee, right? You were leaning in on his... Ain't these his two knees? These are his two knees. there's one knee right there now you don't recognize that so did he was pretending to break your hand this is okay

so these are the knees that's wayne brady that's somebody else that is not me hands on somebody else but i'm just saying okay we can assume that every party he had is not a free party and i will say that event was dope and i had a good time and i'm not going to say free diddy or anything but that's all you gotta say all you gotta say is i had a great time this is what you're doing this is not the conversation just don't don't don't don't do this we are friends and i stand by my friend if you had a great time i'm not judging you i didn't say i said some stuff was consensual and then you know I'm you know what my brother said I will say my brother called me he said I'm mad at you no he didn't say I mean he said I'm mad

at you and when you talk like that you gotta talk to him back like that he said I'm mad at you I said what you mad at me for right he said why you ain't this is what my brother said he said why you ain't tell me about the diddy party he said i would have signed the paper and i would have brought my own oil that's what my brother said damn he's about that life damn he bought that life and he said he want to flew you too evie since you getting flew why we can't talk about that? We just did. Flu you too.

You got no guts, man. What's wrong with you? I want to ask some questions. You prepared your own questions. I ain't never seen it. How are you? How are you? It's the only question for Donna.

The only way for a person to truly grow is to feel small first because when people truly keep it real with you, it's going to touch your inner child and bring you back to the feeling of fear and failure. Instead of taking criticism as an attack, how can you, and this goes to anybody in this room, how can you take that honest feedback and learn from it? How can you create an environment where those in your inner circle

aren't just telling you what you want to hear, but what you need to grow? And that question is for you, Charlamagne. How do you answer that question? Let's discuss. He wasn't listening to you. He definitely wasn't listening to you. He just...

Are these like affirmation cards? I want to talk about you and Dr. Umar. You had Dr. Umar on your podcast. I did have him. It was a great interview. And he tried to talk about you and Dr. Umar. You had Dr. Umar on your podcast. I did have him. It was a great interview. And he tried to do an intervention with you. No, Dr. Umar. Because you love snow bunnies.

You love snow bunnies? First off, on Easter, I've been known to hop. I'll just tell you. Only on Easter. Yo, yo. Only on Easter. Yo, yo. Only on Easter. In all the cases, I've been known to hop on Easter. But Dr. Umar did do my podcast, and it was a good interview.

Did you have to pay him? No, I didn't have to pay him. Okay. No, but it was good. I think you had something to do with that, too. You got a relationship with him. If you did, that's my guy. But it was a conversation.

Did he have an intervention with you? He didn't have an intermission. And this is what every interview, every platform, and this is what I wanted to do. Everybody has a sense of humor. Yep. But you didn't know if Dr. Umar has a sense of humor. He's one of the most funniest people alive.

All I see him is this part of his face being wrinkled up and yelling at somebody, right? Pan-African American. What is it? Pan-Africanism. Happy Pan-Africanism. Whatever it is. African niggas. Whatever. Tomato. African-niggas-ism.

Man, tomato, tomato. Okay, I got you. But I did have a conversation where I was like, do he ever laugh? And the first thing, you could go, and if you subscribe

to my YouTube page, The Don Air-Rawlings Show, it comes out this week. But I had a very good conversation with him. Because every time you see him, it's always being angry. Why can't you create dialogue with people that you don't necessarily agree with or

disagree with without being upset I agree we had a great conversation it was a great conversation it's gonna be on my my shoulder Donair Rollins show on YouTube okay that you don't subscribe to you so this is wrapped it yeah no you don't put your phone what's your next question, please, sir? Next question. So you hopping again this evening? Okay, here's another one. DJ Envy. Oh, boy. You've been silent about car shows lately.

Do you have any intent on doing another car show or dabbling back into real estate? Let's discuss. I just had a car show about a couple of weeks ago. Had 15,000 people in. You did? Yes. Okay, next question. How is flipping New Jersey?

I don't know. This will be cut out. I don't know. I don't know. All right. See, this is what you do. Go to the Donnie O'Rollins show and subscribe. See, this is a different one.

I would subscribe to this one. Yeah, do that. Yeah, do that. Let me ask you a serious question. Yeah. It's been seven months since your Netflix special. Yeah. Now that some time has passed,

has it changed your career at all? I don't think it's changed my career, but I do think that it gave people an opportunity that wasn't familiar with me as a stand-up comedian to see that I'm a good stand-up. Okay. And you never know. It's like, it's hit or miss with that.

Some of those specials, it may be something that it pops, and the next thing you know, you're a household name, or you're being introduced to it. But it's like it's hit or miss with that some of those specials it may be something that it pops the next thing you know you are you're a household name or you've been introduced to it but it's hard i've noticed the difference in my um my ticket sales also know when i go around people you know show me a lot of love and say i really appreciate it or when you're going to do the next one but it what if it was something that just said to my career but and I tell people even before the special drop I was in a good place with selling tickets uh people being familiar with me as a what do you want to say actor comedian so it was another little notch on the belt and I'm I'm already working uh material if I have that

situation again to do another one because I did learn i did learn a lot by and that's special people always say well i seen them being funnier i saw so and so but in that moment that day in that moment i thought i was the best that could be i thought it was i thought it was pretty funny did you see some of the reviews that were out there um no because i said like for instance rotten rotten tomato gave you uh three tomatoes right three out of what three tomatoes, right? Three out of what? Three tomatoes or three tomatoes? It's like three out of nine or ten, right? Yeah, three out of five, actually. Three stars out of five.

That's not bad. That's average. You know what? I don't go by that. Guess who? Guess who were Rotten Tomatoes? No, I just want to say this. Rotten Tomatoes gave Tyler Perry's last movie horrible reviews, but guess what it did in

the box office? And guess what it did for the people that know him? So, you know, I can take that with a grain of salt, but I'm here for it. Yeah, somebody, they said, Ash Larry cannot do stand-up. His jokes are probably taken from AI chat box with bad instructions. I laughed barely once.

You don't let anybody talk to you like that. No, but... I'm just saying, I loved it. I thought it was great, actually. No, continue. What other comments? Somebody said that it might not win any awards or hit top 10.

But I will say this, and this is how I know you're full of shit. I swear to God. Okay, here's the thing. What's wrong with that? My special charted for three weeks on Netflix. Also, not that I won anything, but the special, and this might not mean anything to anybody else,

but it made the nomination ballot for Emmy this year, so congratulations. Congratulations. It didn't win, but the fact that here's the thing, people like this, you're not going to win. It didn't make you the next joint. In this business, first thing you want to do

is be in a conversation with other people. If I could be in that conversation, that means somebody else is introduced to me and I can move on to it. Next question.

Why do you have to play with you like that? I've seen you stand up. I think it's funny. You know what it is. I go to all his specials. I go to all his stuff. I'm fine.

I'm here reading them comments. I ain't seen you, sir. I it is. He know what it is. I go to all his specials. I go to all his stuff. I'm fine. You've been here reading them comments. I ain't seen you, son. I did. No, you didn't. Yes, I did when you played that game on me. I did when you had a shivery lip or something. You was like. When you was like, oh, what's going to happen, man?

I got to remove myself from here, man. We started off something good. Yo, you sounded like Woody in the YSL trial, son. You sound like Woody. I'm not coming anymore now. You sound like Woody in the YSL trial, son. You sounded like Woody in the YSL trial. Who supports you more, Pitt, coming to your show? You have, but that was before you almost caught that charge, son. You know what I'm saying? When it got that pressure time, so you just disappeared, son.

You said on your... It is. Yo, you did. All right! No, you caused that on yourself. I'm going to get you. Don't do that. I'm going to get you. That's Woody. Woody from the YSL trial. Don right. Okay. No, you caused that on yourself. I'm going to get you. I'm going to get you. Don't do that. I'm going to get you.

That's Woody. Woody from the YSL Child. Don't do that. I'm going to get you because I'm going to see you. I'm going to get you. Go ahead, Lord. Go ahead, Lord. Yo, Woody is the finest killer in the United States of America.

No, Woody is hilarious. Yo, he said, look, just so you know, Woody would be like this. If I see you at the car show, I'm going to get you. I'm going to pull up and I'm going to get you. I ain't going to play with you. I'm going to get you. I'm going to get you. I'm going to see you. I'm going to see you. I'm if i see you at the car show i'm gonna get you i'm gonna pull up and i'm gonna get you i ain't gonna play with you i'm gonna get you i'm gonna get you i'm gonna see you i'm gonna see you i'm gonna see you i'll get you go ahead lauren next question um donnell too white that's a thing people say that's too white yeah you know what i've heard that and i'll tell you why i'll

tell you this is the reason why in this business when we first started especially deaf comedy jam circuit right we did not have a lot of outlets to showcase your stuff. So we had to create rooms, Terminal D, the Manhattan Proppers, the other club in Jersey. We had to make our own black pocket of comedy. We didn't wait for white people to say, oh, you come in here. And then a lot of comics in my era

got labeled as a Def Jam act, just completely Def Jam. If you did Def Jam, it was hard to get booked in mainstream rooms. It could be like this, oh, he's a Def Jam act. He's only going to be talking about this. But I've been lucky enough that when I started, I realized that I need to do the chitlin' circuit. I need to do the black circuit. But I always was interested in doing mainstream

and doing other stuff than just for black people. And once, in my community, once a comedian does that and he has the crossover ability, I didn't say sellout, crossover ability, they assume that you are a white comic. They assume that because I have relationships with Joe Rogan and Burt Kriesger and those people from there, they assume that.

But anybody that come to my show, you go to my show, you can't tell where my base is. When you go to my show, you can't tell where my base is. When you go to my show, you'll see black, you'll see white, you'll see Asian, you'll see handicapped, you'll see he, she, theys, and thems. And I've been able to do that. And a couple years ago, you got guys like Earthquake, Samoa, DC, Don, Curry.

Legends. Legends. Legends. And they've been doing the circuit for a while. They've been making a lot of money doing the circuits. You know, you see these concerts come around, you're always going to hear their names. And I asked a promoter once when I was doing one of those shows, I said, how did they miss me?

You know, how do they keep missing me? He was like, well, Donnell, I pitched you for this show. He said, but a lot of the promoters think you're a white comedian. And part of that is because I'm sure of it, my association with Dave Chappelle, if you go to a Dave Chappelle concert or a show, it's a mixed group of people. People don't remember Dave was,

everybody thought he was the white comic until Chappelle's show. I tell people all the time, there's no discredit. I was like, Dave, he was ahead of everybody. When he started with Robin Hood Men in Tights, he was like the chosen one. Whoopi Goldberg, Mel Brooks, there was a fan. And for the most part, the black community, they didn't know him

like that. But the college community, like the NACA and everything, he was one of the biggest names on the college circuit, right? Killing Me Softly was so big. But really what broke him, was one of the biggest names on the college circuit, right? And Killing Me Softly was so big. Killing Me Softly. But really what broke him, and, you know, it's a credit to the team that he put together.

I would honestly say the Chappelle show is really what gave him street creds when everybody saw that he was a beast. Yeah. And you got talent that go through that. Chris Rock, example. When Chris Rock was on SNL, I think he felt kind of similar to where I feel like, wait a minute, man. I'm black. You know what I'm saying? Yes, I appeal to these white people mainstream, but that's why

one of Chris Rock's biggest specials was Bigger and Blacker, and the reason why, he has something to prove. That's why he chose to put it at the Apollo. That's why he chose to come and let y'all know, motherfucker. I can do this shit for white people, but I don't care how crossover you

are. As a black comedian, nothing's going to ever make you feel as good as being able to entertain your own people, shared likes, the stuff that resonates, the stuff that you talk about growing up, the cookouts and all that type shit, that shit feel good. But it's also something to be said that you

can cross over. When I started working in New York, the Comedy Cellar, like one of the best, it's one of the most prestigious clubs in the country. And I wanted to get passed in that club not to be a dude that hang out there and take the pitch in the back. I was like, if you guys say this is where the best comedians go, that's where I want to be there. As soon as I got passed, I stopped fucking with it.

That's crazy, though, because I've seen a lot of comedians, white and black, and even the stuff that you touch on. The show I came to, remember I told you, it was when the Diddy Cassie stuff first happened. And I hit it right off the rip. And I was like, if he don't touch that, he's not the essence of what I grew up on. Was it funny? First of all, I was surprised that he did it.

And then when he did it, it was so funny. And I was watching the crowd. I was like a little nervous because it had just happened. But you know why I did it? People were laughing. It was, I forgot. I said something about, I know one thing. Diddy won't throw the towel in, right?

And then I did the. When I tell y'all. And I was like three shots in. I'm like, they going to get him. Somebody here going to record this. But they were having a great time. I was like Three shots in I'm like They gonna get him Somebody here gonna record this But they were They were having a great time I was like whoa

And the reason why I did it You know my brand I hit y'all all the time Too soon with Donnelly Rollins I said to myself You know Like The rawest comedians

Are the ones that hit it Right out the gate And whenever there's a joke That I'm nervous about And I'm like Aw man There's a chance That they may not

Fuck with me I get canceled That's the one I'm gonna go to because that's the one nobody else is going to do. But also, there's a fine line of telling a joke and being disrespectful and out of pocket. You know, like I didn't make fun of that situation because I know that it was a bad situation. But the fact that this motherfucker ran out of oil and didn't drop that towel and he went in by dexterous he went from one hand to the next hand that in that moment that was funny next question and the can't make my tumble die really oh my god yeah wow he died of brain cancer so you mean tell me you're not really paying attention to me in the middle of your interview i did somebody how you checking your motherfucking text in the middle of my show how do you feel like every time you come up here i feel like he has no respect for me show. But Donnell, how do you feel like, every time you come up here, I feel like he has no respect for you.

He doesn't pay any attention. How do you feel? Is the Donnell too white thing the reason you fired your whole crew and hired an all-black crew? No, I didn't fire. That was part of it. If you go to the podcast, subscribe to the Donnell Rawlings show. It wasn't that.

But this is what it was. I was feeling like, wait a minute. There's a lot of white people around here. Like, a lot. And I said, let me make a change. You fired your all white crew? No, they still there. They still work for you.

You know them niggas get you the money. Oh, over there? Yeah. Oh, yeah, WTF. Yeah, I didn't fire everybody. Oh, okay, okay. They don't fire you. I'm not going to say that.

I just moved in. I wanted to be experimental and move in a different direction. For you to fire anybody. That's how white people do it. Am I fired? No, we're going move it in a different direction. For you to find anybody. Am I fired? No. We're going to move in a different direction. That's what it was. Next question. On the Donnell Rollins show, you said a toxic man is worse than a toxic

woman. I said, in that show, I said, what's worse than being in a toxic relationship with a woman is having a toxic relationship with a man that you work with. And I know that Envy and Charlamagne, this is where you guys can connect with that. Which me? The toxicity in this room. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to

doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

James Brown said, say it loud. And the kid said, I'm black and I'm proud. Black boxing stars and black music royalty together in the heart of Zaire, Africa.

I know, but I said the worst thing is like, having a toxic relationship,

that should be reserved for somebody that you're in love with, you're dating, married, or whatever like that. But when you start having that type of relationship in the workspace, that's when it's crazy. Because then you be like, what the fuck am I arguing? It's not toxic in here. Huh? It ain't toxic in here. And we just said we don't agree, but it ain't toxic. I mean, I beg to just said we don't agree but ain't toxic i mean i beg to differ

i don't know i got a suit on i've been wanting to say that sentence since i said yo you cannot wear a suit and not say i beg to differ i can't wait to say and you say that to say what and your point is all right continuing with your comment. What did you say? I saw Teddy Swims. He was happy. I lose control when I'm not next to you. I love that song. He saw you singing about Diddy. Ain't nobody sing about Diddy. I said this.

Something got a control on me lately, and I don't know myself anymore. Feels like the world is all closing in. Oh, don't you do that. And the devil is knocking. Don't you myself anymore. Feels like the world is all closing in. And the devil is knocking you up. How do I mind? How many times did I tell you?

I don't give a fuck. This is my last time up here. Are you a Swifty still? Hold on. Teddy said that was a top five moment of his life was what you singing that song on stage you see that yeah I mean yeah he did I want to say he slid in my DM but he communicated for me with somebody but it was good I like the song the funny thing about a black guy singing being a fan of Teddy swim and most black people don't swim so that's's very ironic, but I like his music.

It's very passionate. And if you listen to that album, I think that I might need therapy. I forget the name of it, but that album reminded me of, it put me in the mindset of when Usher did Confessions, when Anthony Hamilton did like his joint, somebody that's actually going through it in their life and it resonated through the music. He's a dope artist.

I think that album only came out like last year. I've tried everything but Therapy. Yep. And I know you're like that because you're on that Therapy shit. It's perfect. You'll like a lot of those songs. You'll be like,

oh my God, this is my life. Are you still a Swifty? I don't fuck with that bitch now. Damn. I mean Queen. Nope, too late. They in your mentions. They in your mentions.

I was Swifty. You can't call her Queen, though, because she white. Listen, they about to take that picture of you, Diddy, and Russell and run it all through social media. I don't think you're supposed to call white women queens. I'm just joking. It was just a moment. We had a moment.

We had our time. We had our time. The song, what was the song I like? No, it wasn't that. It was Anti-Hero. It's me, hi, I'm the problem. Because that's when I was going through a point in my life where, and you know this as a mental head, motherfucker.

Mental health. Nigga, whatever you call yourself. Mental health advocate. Yeah, you know sometimes you have to look in the mirror and ask myself, is it me? Is it you? Am I the problem? And even the relationship, like you was talking about on my podcast, I talked about toxic relationship with a guy that you work with. And this is why I had to self check myself because I,

one particular person I work with, I said, I'm going to do everything this person needs to make them happy or get what they need to get done. Did he? Yeah. I did everything. I did a pre-production meeting.

I, I just did a lot. I was like, okay, it was an idea he had. I didn't like the idea, but I said, you know what? I could be a guy and be like. I just did a lot. I was like, okay. It was an idea he had. I didn't like the idea, but I said, you know what? I could be a guy and be like, man, fuck the idea. Or I could be the bigger person and say, how can I contribute to making him happy?

And I said, it's a whack idea, but I can still make it work. I did all that. Then I came to work. And we still had an issue. And that's where the toxicity came in. Because I'm like, I did everything. And I snapped. And one thing I say toxicity came in. Cause I'm like, I did everything. I'm like, and I snapped.

And one thing I say about this podcast, I don't like this. What I'm doing now, it's not the traditional podcast. I call it a reality show about a podcast. Cause some of the interesting things are the things that we talked about before the show and after the show. And I didn't want to have a podcast where, and on this week we got so-and-so I wanted to,

it's sort of like somebody said, it's like, almost like Curb Your Enthusiasm and Chappelle's show on a podcast. You don't know if it's real, you don't know if it's fake. Sometimes we have some pranks, sometimes we have sketches, but it's different. And I think the pivotal episode is going to be. You don't even use words like that, pivotal.

I have a suit on. You got a suit on. His tie is tough. The pivotal. Don't do this. He's not even paying attention to you. I don't know if you realize that. But I think that this episode that features Dr. Umar, I think people get to

see me in a different light and doing some other things. I doubt it. Why are y'all so mean to him? You know why. You know he wasn't paying attention. I'm literally crafting a whole situation because all that stuff is happening right now, right?

So you ain't paying attention to Donnelly? I'm listening to everything he just said and I'm watching. I see you typing Joe Solomon in your phone. I just said what I was doing. And I sent the email to get the statement from his team. The disrespect is crazy. No, but I'm listening to you and I'm watching how the only thing he looked up to say was I doubt that.

Nobody's paying attention. He's showing me a level of disrespect. I'm at least looking at you. The only thing he looked up to say was, I doubt that. Nobody's paying attention. She's on the camera, but Timbo, he's on his phone. He's showing me a level of disrespect. I'm at least looking at you. I'm looking at her. Let's talk about your tour dates, Darnell. Yeah, I got October the 4th. I'm going to be at NJ Pack, Victoria Theater.

Newark, New Jersey. Yeah, and then October the 4th. 10th and 12th, Improv, Illinois. 10th, Improv. I got a whole bunch of dates. Improv, Texas, the weekend after. Yeah, if you go to DonairRollins.com it's all my dates. I'm booked

up until 2025. And I will say this because the question is always alright, he just did a special. Will there be any new jokes? The minute the day that my special dropped, I was already 35 minutes into a new set. So if you come see my show, you're not going to get any repeat jokes and it's going to be

it's going to be fun. And I'm on it. Do you let your son watch your stand-up yet? He performs. Oh, man, I got to tell you. You know, every kid loves that song They Not Like Us. I don't care how old they are. I don't know if they know what the song means. And they changed, they got a version

of something like They Ride the Bus or something like that? I don't know that. No, my son and his friends, they say the real song. And their favorite, and I like the song. I'm the one around the house. They're not like us. And their funny part, favorite part is, say Drake. I heard you're young.

Yeah. You better never end up here. What is it? Set block one. That's their favorite part. And that's one of my parts. So my son was with his friends. You know, my baby mother's a lot younger than me.

And they were just having a conversation, right? And one of the little mathematician motherfuckers said, how old is your daddy, Austin, right? Wow. Look, and the other one said, how old is your mama, right? And they started, you know when kids start adding up on their fingers? They start counting their fingers. They did like this. And look, they said, oh, we know why your father liked that song so much, right?

And then the kid said, hey, Uncle, we heard you like him young. And then my son said, hey, Dad, we heard you like him young. And I was like, if you don't get your little ass out of my face.

But he'll go on stage. He'll go on stage. Who's kid's funnier, yours or Gerald Kelly? I can't really. Gerald Kelly's kids are more polished. And they take it serious.

I think my son, when I'm on the road, he goes to me, I think he likes the idea of like, I want to do what daddy does. He's not taking it serious and I'm not pushing him in that direction. You know,

anybody, you would think, especially if you've got a son, every dad has feelings like this. Oh, I want them to follow my footsteps or whatever. But I, and I tell him one time,

I said, what do you want to do? He said, I want to be in entertainment. I'm like, nah, I don't do that. Because I know what it comes with this job. I'm like, you don't want to do this. And I was like, why do you want to do this? And he said, can y'all pay attention to my

motherfucking story? They're not even looking at you. Listen, you said, why do you want to do this? Because I'm sitting here trying to figure out why you didn't let him be in entertainment. You be trying to push me to to do this? Because I'm sitting here trying to figure out why you didn't let him be in entertainment. You be trying to push me to get on stage. Because I think you're funny. Y'all are so disrespectful.

I'm listening. I'm actively listening. You're typing about Dikembe. He's in his phone. Go ahead. No, the reason why, I'll tell you why I want to push you and the reason I won't push my son, because my son doesn't have no excitement about it. And when I asked him.

Well, dang. No, let me explain. He's just like, daddy, I want to do. He's not like that. I was like, why do you want to do entertainment? He said, Daddy, because you inspire me. That's good. But the thing is, I told him, because my son, sometimes he gets emotional, right? And I tell him,

I said, listen, if you're going to do this, you got to have tough skin. Because I said, 95% of the time, you're going to get rejected. People are going to hate on you. They're not going to support you. So if this is something you really want to do, you got to have tough skin to do it or don't even think about do I tell anybody that if you can't handle beginning of it you can't handle being broke most your career then don't do it you know and that's why I don't

encourage them but I support him sometimes he wants to go on sometimes he don't he just cares about being in the green room ordering chicken fingers and and Shirley temples with it with with extra cherries. And you selling socks now? He's a kid though. That's crazy because you barefooted in pictures with Diddy. So did you start wearing socks because it was slippery on the boat? Whoa, it was slippery on the boat. I know you like this color.

That's for you, pink. Can you tell us which rooms were slippery on the boat? The safe room. It was a safe room. 75% cotton, 25% spandex, 5% elastin. It's a quality socket. You go to DonAaronRollins.com and you'll get it. But I will say-

Why does she smell like weed? Oh, that was in my bag. Oh. You got weeds in the- I know you would enjoy that. But the reason why, cause I know I've been around you, you got a funny sense of humor.

Who, Lauren? Yeah. Oh. Yeah, she always, and she'll call me. She'll be like, she really excited. Not about stand-up, about doing improv, and I ain't mad at that. But certain people, I just think they have a natural ability, and they should give it a shot.

And I always, and she was like, I'm not going to do it. Even I told her to come to my show in Jersey. No, and what happened? Did I come? Yes, you MIA'd me. Yeah, I did. Why would I get on? Stand-up comedy is so different.

Yes, why are you encouraging her to kill herself? I wanted to improve improv. It goes into so many different things. It goes into wit, hearing, reporting, into just things. But what I said to you. Not getting on stage. I think comedians should be very honest with people who should not be comedians. Yes, hardest thing to do on stage is stand-up comedy.

I can talk when we have a good time, especially if we drinking. I hear you. Stand-up comedy is like. I hear you. I'm listening. I hear you. This is what you do to black women. This is how this conversation started.

But now I know. I didn't know you hopped every other Easter. But now I understand. I said one Easter month a year. Whenever Easter comes. Why are you aggressively? Why are you angry? I'm not aggressively. Calm down. Everybody thinks you're angry, Donnell, and this is comes. Why are you aggressively? Why are you angry? I'm not aggressively.

Calm down. Everybody thinks you're angry, Donnell, and this is why. They think you're an angry comic. I'm going to tell you why. Because you said everybody. And I don't tell everybody that. I don't tell everybody. And the reason why I said it, the position you're in, and I know you said you host things.

Right? It don't require jokes, though. Like real jokes. But what I'm saying is, when I told you, don't think joke. Just be funny just be likable what advice would you give oh she's single what advice would you give her the fact that she's single right now she's single why she don't know how to shut up no i'm just you want to tell me that since the first time

listen to my face, Amy. Shut the fuck up. Ah! Just go up to there and shut it up. You know how you get a man? You want a man? You want to get a man? Please, shut the fuck up. And even if you don't do it all the time, Lord,

know the science and the art of knowing when. I'm shutting up right now and I'm letting you go it's not a real shut the fuck up it's not because you know i'm i can't wait look at your face you like this it's simple this is how you maintain relationships because y'all be stupid stuff and want us to sit and shut up you about to make me cry like tyrese up here don't do that all right if somebody don't take that nigga phone, please, man. I'm so sick of this nigga. Okay, men cry but every other minute, nigga? Do you got to cry

for everything? There's no reason for a man to cry. The man was grieving. The man was talking... Shut the fuck up, Tyrese. The man was talking about his mom passing,

his sister passing, Paul Walker, John Singleton. He has... His divorce. His divorce. The man's grieving. Cut it out, Donnell. No, I see why they say Donnell's Singleton. His divorce. His divorce. The man's grieving. Cut it out, Donnell.

No, I see why they say Donnell's so white. But he cried about everything. Black people can't have feelings and express their opinions. That's how it is with you. Cry once. Yo, I even suggested we come up with a cry day. Like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, cry day. When men get together, just cry.

But you can't just be crying every other day. Crying about what though? Anything. You don't even got to have a reason. Just get together, have a couple drinks, and just cry but you can't just be crying every other day anything you only got have a reason just get together have a couple drinks and just cry and get it out and the reason why because if you don't when you finally cry your face look like Tyrese's face when you that was a cry he should cried years before that that what more do you want for me cry son come on son he got mad at me he got mad at me sir He got mad at me, son. Because you're crazy. He called you? No, he DM'd me, right?

What'd he say? He was like, yeah, I expect that from people I don't know. Because I did a meme. You know, that face, right? The Michael Jordan. I did a meme with it. And he took it personal. And he said, take the post down.

And I was like, I'm not taking it. Did you take it down? He sent you a voice note or he wrote you a paragraph? What does that make a difference? I want to know. No, it was a voice. No, it was a text. The DM. You didn't take it down? No, I didn't take it down. What, does that make a difference? I want to know. No, it was a voice. No, it was a text. The demon.

And you didn't take it down? No, I didn't take it down. For what? For what? To please him? Have you seen him yet? That nigga don't fuck with me. I'm just saying, cry, but I know men.

Black men, we cry. We do. He sound like Sidney Poitier. When was the last time you cried? I don't know. He needed to cry. That's why he's so angry. Black men don't cry, and black women need to shut up.

You know what? And guess how many better situations. If men cry and women shut the fuck up, your face don't want to do it. You like holding it like this. You look like one more. Do you want from me?

I only think I want. When was the last time you cried, Donnell? It was something with my son. I did something with my son that reminded me of a relationship I didn't have with my father. Aw. Why you laughing, man? No, I'm not laughing.

Come on, man. Cut it out. You don't never stop with you, man. Yo, how you a mental health nigga and you be fucking with niggas mental health? Mental health nigga, man. Cut it out. You don't never stop. Yo, how you a mental health nigga and you be fucking with niggas mental health? Yo, yo, you got it on record. Y'all ain't shit. I talked about my father dying

and y'all laughed at me. Yes, you did. And then we went viral because I said, when I grew up, right, and then y'all said, we not gonna laugh at you. And immediately fucked with my childhood trauma immediately all your mental health shit went out the goddamn window well you're a comedian you funny that don't mean I don't have him I can't cry

don't mean I don't have emotions but what was it that you do it just then I don't know I can't remember you said you was thinking that you never did with your dad yeah okay or talk no i didn't i just this okay i don't know exactly when i cried but this is when i get the most emotional when i look at my son at the age he is right now and we have an experience that i didn't experience with my dad you know that's one of the reasons why I'm so, so much into my son's life. Because I look at him, my son, at seven, at eight, at nine, I was like, where was my dad then? My dad was locked up then. So I get emotional

about that, but I don't really, I ain't fucking crying on tape. I ain't throwing no tissues up and crying for everything. And I just think that, I do black men cry, but you ain't gotta cry all the time. But we know you crying. If the burger can't line, if the burger can't drive through, it's closed, it's closed. You gonna cry about that? It's okay, Daya. I'm willing to have it my way. No, no but you ain't got to cry all the time. But we know you cry. If the Burger King drive-thru is closed, it's closed. You going to cry about that? It's okay, Donnell.

I'm willing to have it my way. You don't have to be Brooklyn tough all your life. I'm not that. I got a suit on, and I beg your pardon. What are you talking about? We love you, Donnell. I don't like to use that word. Salam Hamnida.

That's how you pronounce it in Korean. Next question. Pronounce what? Pronounce what? I love you. Salam Hamnida. You don't like love, Donnell? We love you, Donnell.

I saw a family connection. Again, I don't know what happens.

And like I talked to you on the phone, I don't know what happens at 3 o'clock in the morning. You wasn't on the board at 3 o'clock in the morning? No, he was gone. I wanted to stay. They told me to leave. 3 o'clock. 3 o'clock in the morning.

So you wanted to stay, though. Huh? I mean, that's for, I mean. You got to leave before three cold clock. If you had three cold clock, you'd be having that Bobby Brown after this. Jesus Christ.
