You're listening to an iHeart podcast. Wake that ass up in the morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody is DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Jess Niche. Welcome back. My girl. How you feeling?

Man, I feel great, y'all. Yeah. Yeah. Last time you was here, you was talking about putting out your special. Now you got your special actually out. The special dropped y'all. How did it feel? Congratulations, first of all. Thank you, we got it done.

And the feedback has been just crazy. It's really like top five. And you did it yourself, you funded it yourself. Thank you, you paid for it too. Thank you, did you watch it, you in it. I did see some of it. No, I did, because you did it all with the selfie. Yeah, you in you, you paid for it too. Thank you, did you watch it? You win it. I did see some of it. No, I did, because you did it all with the selfie. Yeah, you win it, you win the special.

Did you get them cleared? Did you clear them or not? She good, she's good. I cleared them all when I filmed y'all the first time. I said, y'all win the special. That's right. That was the clearance you did? Yeah, yeah.

I ain't mad at you. Yeah, so, turned out real dope. So we just, thank you. How much did it cost in totality to win the special? Why you asking them type of questions? Because she funded herself. Well, it was really like $100,000 especially, but we got it done for about a third.

You did it with your selfie. I know, that's right. Yeah, we had to make it do what it do. So I did it with my phone, and then we had some real cameras too, but we did put that selfie shot in there because that was the whole bit. Yeah, yeah.

So, that shit went great. Can I cut some hair? Yes. Okay, thank you. I got my first lady jacket on. I ain't know if I'm. I don't know what to be like that. But yeah, yeah, it just, it,

we didn't raise all the money either. Like I did the GoFundMe. I'm thinking people's gonna give me more. Like that girl that got hit in the head with the brick. Yeah. They gave her like $50,000. So I was like, let me just ask for a 20. Like I asked for like 15 and I thought I would get like 20.

But you ain't had no tragedy though. Yeah. You gotta have a tragedy. Well, I knew that I would have hit myself in the head with a brick had I not known. I thought that just me trying to do it myself would be enough. People was like nah. You heard about that lady the other day.

She called the kid a little boy a nigger and she put up a goal for me and she raised over $600,000. Did she get a million? Close to a million. We got 7 million now, but yesterday it was 700,000. Look, okay, I've been calling kids niggas my whole life. Not a damn on my GoFundMe, but you know, it's just crazy and yeah, I thought a lot of people

would kind of just donate to it, like people I know with money. And I'm like, I didn't even ask for that much, but my friends were like, nah, bitch. Get it out the mud, and we did. And it turned out, it was really top five, I'm not even lying. In the last 10 years, what's your favorite

comedy special in the last 10 years? Don't say Dave Chappelle, because we all know it's Dave Chappelle, but Dave Chappelle aside. That ain't my favorite, but he was one of my favorites. Dave was one of my favorites. Sticks and Stones would probably be in my top five of the last 10. Neil Brennan actually has two that I probably

would put in my top five. The last 10 years, yeah. Who else? I don't know. I'm trying to think of the specials that came out. Who else came out? Just me, self-serve, so y'all gotta know. I mean, y'all really don't have. I'm trying to think of the specials that came out. What else came out? What other three? Just need self-serve, so y'all gotta move.

I mean, y'all really don't have to know these. Joe Coy was a funny one, but I'm trying to think. I can't think of the ones that came out. Oh! Damn. Andrew Shostelite. That messed up that three of my top five is white people, but they really, it was really funny.

They was really good specials. It was good specials. I gotta watch that. I gotta really check in with self-serve. Yeah. You gotta check it out. I gotta watch more got I gotta really check in with self-serve. Yeah I gotta watch more stand-up damn. Yeah, I think watch like two of them in the last team God bitch anything Comedians who watch other people's specials like that. Yeah, um, if it's a good special

We watch Keith Robson had a really good comedy special different strokes Oh, yeah, different strokes was good. Different strokes. Good earthquake latest one even though it was like it was like short, but it was so good It just came out like last year or two years ago earthquakes. Yeah People I don't know. I guess people this one is real dope, so y'all can watch this one and then let me know. Is it just you by yourself, you got any openers? Nope, it was just me.

Cause you know how some people would be. Oh yeah, no, I had no openers, I went straight in, it was all me, then Kevin Hart was in it, Charlamagne was in it, D. Ray was in it, D. Ray was in it, Ch. Ray. Chica Bean. DC Young Fly. All these people was in it. Don't let me know nobody know. But when I had my cell phone I really was getting that footage and we just put it in there. And then that show was the reality part of it. So what else is it? Did you go around in Chicago? Like every city I went to, yeah, so it was like half documentary, half special.

But filmed all about me, so that was the running joke. Like I'm filming my special, but it was really just me and my phone. And that stands out, that's different. Yeah, so. That sets it apart from every other special. You got a couple of little sketches in between the comedy, and you know,

I don't know if anybody, anybody who follows me know that at my shows, I do a Who nigga is this? I pull my phone out and take pictures of couples in the crowd. So I was doing that for a special. And this guy, he didn't wanna take the picture. He was like an old dude with a hat.

And I thought he was playing at first. I was like, just take the picture. Everybody else was smiling at it. But yeah, he didn't wanna take the picture. So his girl, they end up walking out in the middle of the special. And we kept it in there because I told him, I said, we're not taking this out.

You know, like she should have just really chilled out. Right. She walked out. The whole crowd was like, oh, the cameraman followed her all the way out the room. So, yeah, people were going in because that clip went viral. And people was like, oh, you bogus for like taking pictures of people. Girl, that's more promotion. And just stop cheating and sitting in the front row.

I mean, like, fucking duh, sit in the back, stupid. Hey, don't take your side chick to no comedy show. Yeah. But not sitting in the front. Where you going to take pictures? I guess she probably bought the tickets, but. Did his wife hit you yet? No.

For her husband? Yeah. And the lady said it wasn't that deep, because I did talk to her after the show. I'm like, I'm playing it in there if that's okay with you. She's like, yeah, we not that deep, so yeah. What I like about this special too, DeRay Davis, he was an EP on it.

Yes. And that's big being that DeRay is from Chicago and you from Chicago. I like seeing people from each other's cities supporting each other in that way. How did he become an EP? I reached out, I said, I need you. I toured with DeRay for like three years when I said, I need you. I toured with D-Ray for like three years

when I first started hitting the road. So I just, you know I was hitting the people that I was cool with and I knew probably had it. So D-Ray was like, no problem, what you need. And he was like, really the, about the only one. Yeah, so I'm like, that's cool. It happened, it was supposed to happen. Shout out to D-Ray.

He was the only comedian you mean, like that supported or? That was to be an EP, because I reached out to a few to be an EP way. He was the only comedian you mean? Like that supported or? There was to be an EP. Cause I reached out to a few to be an EP on it. So yeah, he was down. How difficult is it coming up in a comedy game? Cause it seemed like you had a rough come up, like people don't show up for you as much as you expect. You know, it's not even that.

I just think people feel like I'm okay. If that makes sense. Like, oh Niche good, she don't need it. It's like, no, nigga, I do for this special. But everybody like, oh Niche funny, she could do this. So I feel like it's more so that then I want to help her But then probably is this like the first time you've ever reached out Yeah, any type of help anyway, because you're not the type to really do that. Yeah Like now but I'm asking I'm asking a little put you know, I mean, so

But no everybody really rock with me. It's been good coming up you. He's like, no, but I'm asking. I'm asking, nigga. For a little putt, you know what I mean? Yeah, so, but no, everybody really rocked with me. It's been good coming up. Comedy's been real. It's been good, I ain't got no complaints. Just that nobody gave me no money for this. Nobody? That's my only complaint, but no. But you got what you was supposed to get, though. I did, and it came out real good.

So I couldn't have asked for a better, I'm very proud of it, And I feel like it's real special because of the way I had to do it. How is, and congratulations is on Amazon Prime. How are they with pushing it, like marketing? How, and how does that? Well, since it's not an Amazon Prime. Original? Original.

All the marketing is still on me. So we still, we still marketing. We had a Times Square billboard. Shout out to Fair ENT. It's your real period. She got us a billboard right in Times Square. So we still pushing. We just pushing.

We're gonna be pushing. We're gonna do a promo. We're doing like a watch party tour. So we did do a screening last night at Hannibal's new club. Shout out to Hannibal, I-Sola. So we did a screening there. Hannibal Burr's? Hannibal Burr's got a comedy club. Heibal Burr has got a comedy club up here.

He up here now? Huh? He's up here this morning. He in there now. Where he at? In the back. That nigga must have been hiring from y'all. What?

He in the green room. Is he? Oh, he probably didn't know you were coming up here. Oh, yeah. That's so funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so yeah, we was at Hannibal's club last night. That's why we all hung over.

Hannibal probably dug him in from Chicago. He was like, I... You all hung over? Okay. Hannibal was like, I'm here because I'm trying to avoid people from Chicago. Listen, at HBO. So Hannibal looked out, too. He let us do the screening and all that.

Did you really get kicked out of a weight loss camp? Yeah. If you drink, they kick you out the program. Drink what? Liquor? Yes. You have liquor at the camp? How you get?

Well, no, you can't. It's a no, it's strict no liquor. It's a program. Yeah, I How you get caught because people take pictures of me with a drink in my hand cuz they're stupid and I tell them don't post What was the weight loss So I'm gonna rip this blazer in half. I've never been able to close this. Right, right, right, okay. Hey, yo, I guess I'm asking, where was it at? Was it for a show?

Or was it like the actual? Oh, no, we out at the Biggest Loser. No, it's the weight loss camp. They got seven of them in the city. So it's just a program. Yeah, we wasn't actually like, we even wasn't climbing up ropes and shit. Did you try again after getting kicked out?

Or you are banned? I always try, but I feel like they need to let liquor be a part of my program if they could incorporate like a couple shots because that's a zero carb. But why you can't drink though? It's not like it's a rehab. Yeah.

Well, it slows your metabolism and it fucks with your results. So they see you eating a candy bar when they kick you up? No, exactly. That's my point right? And you already had paid them They probably feel like you paid to be and you ain't taking the serious no, I leave it's like I take it serious I just want a couple shots

And I feel like taking the series? No, I leave. It's like I take it serious. I just want a couple shots. Right. Right. Do with that what you want. Right. And I feel like I'm going to- You ain't even that big, Nish. Right. That sounds crazy. I'm going to be 20 pounds, Charlamagne, since the last time I seen y'all. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I jump rope. I'm a fitness instructor now.

All right. What? What the hell? You're a fitness instructor? I'm a fitness instructor now. I do jump. I don't know if y'all are probably don't follow me, but I started these jump rope challenges two years ago And I just did a hundred days of jump. I jumped rope every day for a hundred days. That was my last one. How long?

A hundred days. How long a day? I shoot for 500 jumps, but most times I go longer but minimally 500 jumps that take about 10 minutes. Not even right. Damn! You just jumping? Just listening to music, jumping, sitting down. You know, I take you just jump in just listen to music jumping sit down You know, I take my time. How do you jump and sit down? No, no, I don't do them straight, but if I have No, no, I don't do them straight, but if I have to hurry up and get them done, I will do like, I could do 250 straight. Okay, okay.

But that's just doing too much. I don't try to force myself to do that. Jess was like, you would do 10 and then sit down? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like two hours. But I started doing that because it was something easy I could do every day. I just had to work on my discipline. And so I do small challenges. I would do like a 10 day, 14 day. People just watched me. So like at the new year, I said I'm gonna do 100. And so January 1st, I was like,

I'm gonna do 100 days of jumping. And I did it. Yeah, thank you. I did it and I got all these people now. I just started a 21 day challenge. As I said, it's a big challenge online right now. A lot of people are joining in on the challenge. Yeah, a lot of people joining in on the challenge.

So it's 21 days jumping with Jess Niche. So yeah, and they like, I don't know. So I guess I'm a guru. All right. How you do with everybody else doing it? Just doing a Z Ozympic. You know Mount Majaro. What's it called? I needed some Mount Majaro. It's not Mount Majaro. Something like that. I wanted to do some Ozympic. I don't uh, Obamacare they don't take that. Oh they don't? Yeah, I need like some care credit or something because I would have gotten Ozympic. But I like the way you doing it. Yeah, I like the way you doing it. It's like a whole movement now.

It's good for your platform. It's positive. You know what I mean? It's empowering.. I like the way you doing it. It's like a whole movement now. It's good for your platform It's positive. You know what I mean? It's empowering. That's what's up. Thank you. Yeah for sure Also, I was gonna say we're gonna start doing I'm gonna do like a joke and jump okay Okay, I thought you would see the joke and jump I'm like do like a joke and jump. Okay. Like health fest and I'll get it. Okay, I thought you was gonna say a joke and jump, I'm like she gonna be jumping and telling jokes. Now that's just too much. Yeah, no, it'll be, well I got some fitness instructors coming in and then I got a couple comments coming in.

So we gonna work out and then we gonna tell some jokes and we gonna get on home. So yeah, we gonna get on home. Okay, congratulations on your new man too. You got a new boy. Yes, he's the same boy from last time. But yes. Okay, he is.

It's like three years now. Oh, okay. Damn. I didn't see you last time you was here. I know you were. We've seen each other, but I didn't know you had a new man. Yeah, yeah, I'm doing good. This one lasting.

They usually don't last. But what made this one last so much? He understands the lifestyle of being a comedian. Like dating a female entertainer is tough. It's always niggas, niggas, niggas, niggas, you know? So you just gotta deal with your girl being out and going around men. Is he an industry? He not? He not an industry, but he's an entrepreneur, so he gets that love out too.

Is it, does he ever want to come to shows? Does he come with you? Is it hard to bring him around? No, he's an extrovert, so he's out. And he's out too. Is it, does he ever wanna come to shows? Does he come with you? Is it hard to bring him around? No, he's an extrovert, so he's out, and he's funny too. So he's out, you know, man coming to a show, and I think that is what helps, because people who are homebodies, they be like, you going to another comedy show after the comedy show? You gotta go, yes, nigga, I'll see you when I get back.

That's what I'm gonna ask. So why you think this one lasted so long, because he understands you? He understands me, and he understands that this is, yeah, I know when I get back. That's what I'm under action on. So why you think this one lasted so long? Because he understands you? He understands me and he understands that this is, yeah, kind of what I got to do. What I find interesting too is that you all went to Jamaica to like ASAP after you all met, right? Yeah, right away. Like you met him in how long?

Three weeks. Three weeks? Yeah. And you trusted this man to go out to country? I needed a vacation, sir. Okay. I got to trust this nigga. I'm trying to get some days off work. But you know when you go on a vacation with somebody you know they expecting the

cheeks. True. That is true. If he paid for it. Three weeks for the chicks. But, yeah, y'all can have my business now. But, yeah, I mean we clicked, so it was chemistry right away. You know, it's interesting, because you and Jess, because Jess talks about how she ain't wait with her man at all either. So all of these people with these Joan Clayton

60 day, 90 day rules. I don't think it gotta be no 60 day, 90 day, it's when we feel like it. Yeah, it wasn't even three weeks for me, so that's good. You held out, sis. Yeah. Because it was the first date for me. And y'all still together.

Mm-hmm. See? I feel like the quicker the better. Baby, engaged, married. I think they are married on the low. Yeah, I just feel like if you feel a connection, it don't take no 90 days. It don't take two days.

And you're OK. And you weren't nervous. Instant connection. It don't take no 90 days. It don't take two days. That's right. And you're okay. And you weren't nervous at all. Instant connection. And like Sharla said, you weren't nervous at all going to another country with somebody that you didn't really know? No, I really liked them. You could fight. And you know what was crazy? You could fight. You could fight from Chicago. Where I am from Chicago, we knew a lot of the same people. So it was surprising that we didn't know each other because literally the circle of people.

He's from Chicago too, got you. So his friends, I know his friends. He knows some, and I'm like, how I ain't know you? But I feel like I met him when I was supposed to because had I met him any time before that, I'd be like, nah. Now, you always joked that you had two months to get married before you turned 40. But now you're 41. Yeah, I'm 40.

I'll be 41. I'll be 41 in July. No, not your age. I mean, somebody's going to throw that on you, like you had two months. No, but she jokes about it, though. I'm with you, but honestly, you don't look 40. Oh, thank you.

It's the ponytail. I don't know. It might be a little baby face. I don't know. You just don't look. Has the pressure eased off over time now that you're 41? You're like, I'm not going to put so much pressure on myself about it.

Well, I'll be 41 in July. Don't put that on me just yet. You don't put that on me yet? Yeah, yeah. But um, no, I still, it ain't eased off. I guess we had our conversation that we needed to have, so that made it. Oh y'all had a convo? Yeah, we did. So I understand. You all in your business right now?

I know, like, because I was just, well, the convo was, he knows that I want to be married okay and he wants to do it but he wants to do it right the right way yes what's the right way for him do you know do y'all talk about that I guess he wants to like do it up and I said I don't need all the do it up we just need to be married so but he wants to be um he wanted to do it. What would your way to do it like if you were like what would you you want? Oh, I would rather go away. I like a destination. Yes, that's nice. And then just go get married and come back
