Hello, who's this? This is Dee. Hey, Dee, good morning. Good morning, I need to talk to my fellow lesbian.

What's up, Dee? How you doing, Dee? Yes, how you doing? Now, Charlotte, big brother almighty, what does the luxury size community do to you? The who community? The luxury size community, aka the big back. Oh, luxury size. I like that.

Oh, I love that too. We was talking about what word should we use to describe people that are heavy-sweats. Instead of big back. I like luxury style. Our style is the luxury because we choose food instead of drugs and building it. But what we do to you? Nothing! Listen, here's the thing. I didn't even know when Jess hilarious was telling that story. I didn't even know

the woman was a part of the big back community. I just said it sounded like big back behavior. She is a luxury style sister but here's the thing. I know more swim chicks that gotids than us. They don't discriminate. Okay. And then on top of that, he was paying her bills.

He was paying her bills? Usually it's the other way around. Usually it's the big back paying the bills. He was paying the bills. Listen, is big back really offensive though? And I don't like luxury. I love the luxury size. I like luxury size.

We shouldn't book. But luxury just means expensive, don't it? Don't mean big. Yeah, it's a luxury right now. Food is expensive. It's a luxury right now. Yeah, luxury means bigger, usually. Oh, yeah, in a sense.

In a sense, yep, luxury is big. I like big. I think big back is cute. But come on, Uncle Charlie, you're a mental health advocate. You can't put that narrative out there like we just all bested, but that's not the case. Well, you're right. But I just said in that case, it did sound like big back behavior. And I was right.

So is it a stereotype if it's true? I didn't know she was big. They just don't like the term big back. But see, but luxury means extravagant living. It means opulence. I like extravagant too. Extravagant size. It's not extravagant, it just means.

Oh my God. All that sounds big though. Luxurious, extravagant, premium? Oh my god. Oh that sounds big though. Look at your medium scrappy premium Yeah, premium size and really all that sounds good. I'm gonna call them 93. I say premium back Hello, who's this? Yeah, what's your boy? Jay from PA Jay from PA morning PA. Hello. Yeah, what's up Jay? You guys? Yeah, what's going on? Get it off your chest. All right, man I just want to let everybody know especially the Get it off your chest. All right, man.

I just want to let everybody know, especially the brothers out there, especially us black men, man. Go home, man. Go home. That overtime, it ain't worth it. That money, it's not worth it. You gotta go home.

I'm tired of this, bro. What if you needed? I just went through some trouble. Huh? What if you needed to keep the lights on at home? Listen, listen, listen. Charlie, man, you know, listen, family family more important than anything bro. I agree. I'm listening for a year straight I was working doubles almost every day

I almost lost my family behind this bro, and she simply told me she's like yo, you just simply weren't there Damn, that's more important than anything right now Like I'm fighting right now to get my family back kids wife all that rolling And I realized like yo that money ain't important like you know the kids miss they miss me being there. That's right They ain't worried about that dollar bill the kids don't care about how much money I'm making they gonna remember that time I spent with them. It's a light get cut off. They ain't gonna think about old daddy has the money for that They go think yo dad was playing with the flashlight. oh, dad didn't have the money for that. They gonna think, yo, dad was playing with us with the flashlight. Go home, man. But you're right.

You gotta make time for your family, absolutely, positively. Family's the most important thing. Yeah, like I'm fighting for it right now, you know what I'm saying? And I can't blame it. Like it's my fault I wasn't there. But you know, you can't, and I don't wanna, you know, you're putting a lot on yourself, but you know, as a father, you know, the first thing that we think is we gotta protect

and provide, and provide means a lot, and especially in this crazy world where people have been losing their jobs, things have been messed up, so you just wanna make sure that you can pay for school, you can pay for activities, you can pay for your house, your car, and all those things, so don't beat yourself up too much,

but definitely make time. You're talking about activities, this brother right here, he just wanna keep some food on the table and a roof over his head. And sadly, sometimes that's all it is. That seems like the bare minimum, but it's really not. It's actually a whole lot, especially what you saying, what you saying that you wanna spend more time with your family, man.

So I think we gotta shift our mindset. A lot of times we think just being able to provide food and keep a roof over the head is the bare minimum. It's not, that is a lot, a whole lot. Not, that's right. Time is a lot. That's right. A whole lot of it. Not. That's right.

Time is more important than anything. I just switched up jobs. I took a lower paying job. I'm working third shift so I can be home with them all day. I don't care about no money no more. I respect that. Only them. I respect it.

I respect it, my brother. Salute to you, man, and salute to being a stand-up man for your family, brother. Absolutely. Have a good one, brother. Hey, can I get a book bro? Yes, send my guy a book, cause he don't got no money, he don't have no extra money to buy another one.

Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's DJ MV Jessalari, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest in the building. He has a Netflix special that's out right now. You're familiar with the old written law. Love your friend and his unwritten companion. Hate your enemy. I'm challenging that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any one of the mills in the center does that. That's Donald Rollins ladies and gentlemen. What I'm saying is grow up. Ladies and gentlemen Donald Rollins. Hi Donald. I love you. I love you too.

Why did you read the scripture you texted me the other day? Because you texted me Matthew 5 5. Read it out Charlamagne. Happy are the mild tempered since they will inherit the earth. That's Matthew five five. Mm-hmm. Welcome Welcome, how you feeling brother? I feel very mild I'm gonna tell you this how mad I feel I've looked at the careers of a lot of people, right? Yeah, and some of those people that are super hot Hmm that aren't that mild they're not doing the same thing that the mild performers Are you talking about I don't use names. I'm not talking about anybody. I mean we could get to it. I mean it's not. Listen I had a conversation with a very close friend of mine and they said they knew what I was doing the breakfast club right and they said Don't do it. This

is what that person said. Don't do what? They don't do what you. I'm not used to seeing you like this. They said don't do what they're gonna try to do. I know you always say don't do it. And the reason why they said here's the thing you could say I'm giving light to somebody that doesn't deserve light. I'm giving energy and pumping up something that doesn't have to be pumped up. Now we could talk about the situation I see that sinister nasty light skin look that you're having. You look very light. You look very light, you look very like, lighter than normal, son. Damn! Like you look like LaTisha, like light, light, light.

Like a white man. And the thing is, I know it's your business as a fake journalist, as a media personality, you have to get to the bottom of this. You have to get to what people talk about in the streets. I don't want to do that, but we can. No, I want to talk about your special, Don. Let's talk about my special. And you will. Wait, wait, wait, what special? A new day. No what platform? Netflix. Not on a YouTube, not a

podcast. Continue. What's wrong with you doing a podcast? I'm just saying there's levels to this sh**. There's apples and oranges. Alright. And that's what I'm playing with me today. Can you put the chapel away? That's what we do. Are you still in fashion? I'm still in the top 10. That's what we call for people to understand that and look for clits This is called in this business of it's called charting Okay Now there are a lot of shows on Netflix and here's when the world not just a podcast sees you when you chart My special drop in the 27th the next day. It was charted at number two. Congrats now. No, no, no, no, no, let's talk about it Let's talk about it. Don't try to congrats and go to the other s***.

I don't need that. I just said congratulations. I don't want your congratulations. I want to talk about the facts. I have a respectful question. Before that, I have to answer his question first. Yes. The special dropped.

I didn't ask a question. Right? You were getting there. Okay. It charted number two. Yes. And it held on to number two for three days. It went to number four for a couple days.

It went to number seven. I'm not really sure even if it's charting right now, but to have a Netflix special to come out as many programs as possible, and to have a show that's going to be a big hit, and to have a show that's going to be a big hit, and to have a show that's going to be a big hit, and to have a show that's going to be a big hit, and to have a show that's going to be a big hit, and to have a show that's going to be a big hit, and to have a show that's going to be a big hit, and to have a show that's going to be a big hit, and to have a show that's going to be a big hit, and to have a show that's going to be a big hit, and to have a show that's going to be a big hit, and to have a show that's going to be a big hit, and to have a show that's going to be a big hit, and to have a show that's going to be a big hit, and'm not really sure even if it's charting right now, but to have a Netflix special to come out as many programs that are on Netflix just to get recognized in the top 10, it's a big joint. It's a big

deal. And it's the reason why I support any comic that want to follow my lead and be mild. You should do it. That's what I'm saying. And to address that, here's my thing. All right, we'll see. I don't want to get into it. I don't want to get into it because I don't want to be messing. Well don't. No, but I'm, no, no, I gotta say this. He ain't getting into it. It's in your face. You sinister. I don't understand this. Your face should be like, muahaha. That's the type of **** you are. I don't get this, Donnell. You've always been such a mild, mannered comic. What is setting you off about this situation? The thing that's setting me up about the situation is being called mild. And'm gonna tell you why it's the same

issue I had with you. For a person that I'm bringing you back in when I want to I'm gonna pray for you dear father help this ****. Alright the point I'm making what was the point of can you keep me on track Jess? What was the point I was making? The point you were making why you don't like to be called a mile. The reason why and I said the issue I had with you and I said okay keep on trying to create a narrative that he's not funny you don't understand. That is not true. Let me say this let me talk to a comedian. You know the N word for us not funny and corny as much success as you've had and not noted you've dealt with naysayers

and everything and you could brush it off your numbers don't lie it's still something personal about somebody saying it and you want to say you I know I'm not and the reason why I'm gonna say that and I'll address this first off you got to ask who's judging me who is saying you mile right that person is now on a level of what I've done We talk about what your mouth saying resume if you know that level it's not even fair for you to Make an assessment of what you think my career is because I could do I can do the resumes And this is what I could do resident you can say oh, I know you saw scorpion balls. I know I'm gonna deliver you so you know I'm saying it's like okay. Who's judging me and then when somebody's judging me

You make it a critique of me What are you doing? What are you doing to your career? But sit back trying to shit on the mother and I take offense to anybody say not funny cuz I know at the 30 years That's not what the streets is saying. I've never said I'm not funny That the sign of a narcissist yes always bringing it back to you. It's not about you. But but did you open me? Okay, this interview is me That's right. Don't know a new day a new dawn and I'm feeling good But you opened up for him that night right at Laugh Factory. What what? Oh, no, I didn't okay I think it's very petty for comedians to try to be critics of

Comedians when you're in the same field Nobody does that and I know the question is well, what's up with all this comedy beef or whatever and it's unfortunate Question I had that question There's an elephant in the room absolutely every other comedian that comes up here that question and I was gonna get Feel about the comedy beef in the climate that it's in? Let's take away a **** with a podcast who talks about everybody to get attention. Let's... It's a comedian...

Good question, Joe. You know what comedy is in right now. I'll answer this way. It's two... You got to do... Like... With the OG comics. White comics, black comics, whatever.

The thing is, in our community, we feel like it only can be one black person on top at one time. Okay. Nobody wants to share the stage. They feel like Hollywood picks this person but everybody can win. Everybody wants to be Batman but it's going to be more Robbins than anything. We're not supportive of each other. We're very, very selfish. Very competitive.

But not to point- I'm talking to everybody though. We see what you can. I'm not talking to you, Denvy. I'm talking to a comedian. Do you want to do comedy? No, sir. You can start like we did. We can do open mics. No, sorry. I'm talking to a comedian. Do you want to do comedy? No, sir.

You can start like we did. We can do open mics. No, sir. I know you have a platform. No, sir. You think you can do anything. I said no, sir. Do we interrupt car show promotions like this?

Sorry. Imagine me interfering when you're talking about one of your car show. I said sorry. Continue. Anyway, oh my goodness. The question is, we're very, very, very, very hateful. Yeah. And as bad as the climate has very, very, very, very hateful. And as bad as the climate has been in comedy, this is the common denominator with everybody

that's been a subject, a discussion from Shae Shae interview, all these names that came up. The one thing that's common with everybody is that we all started from nothing. There's not a story of anybody's name has going up that didn't come from one family house. You know what I'm saying? Nothing, everybody. Everybody they talk about had a dream and it turned their dream into reality.

So my thing, if you wanna be critical of that, then use that same criticism and talk about the come up. Talk about the people that have done it and let people know that this is something that you can focus on and you can do it. you can be good at it and you make it successful. The only thing right now in our comedy community is that people are trying to sell controversy now. Yeah. They don't want to sell jokes anymore because they know what moves the needle. Every podcast platform I did a whole media run and everybody soon as I walked in they wanted to controversy. I heard so about that. Yeah, they want oh I heard this because they know

That our society we gravitate toward negativity drive on more than anything That's why you look at news the news whatever New York news you look at it Oh person was murdered in Brooklyn person was murdered in Bronx because we gravitate toward negative stuff It's unfortunate where we ever get where we have these positive stories never because that don't move the Dow So you got people out here trying to move a Dow with podcast wherever in a way I'm trying to move a Dow is by what I'm doing. I don't have to talk about it. I'm not cocky about my Netflix special I've been doing this for 32 years and anybody you know, you know my history anybody. You know my history I put the work in so when you try to discredit that I'm gonna defend that

All right, we got more with Donnell Rawlings. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Yep, we're still kicking with Donnell Rawlings. His special, A New Day is Out right now. Can I ask you a real question? No.

When you got into the mild disagreement. I said no. When you got into the mild disagreement, why didn't you leave the first time? Why you kept leaving and coming back and leaving and coming back and leaving and coming back? First off, that day I closed three shows. My name called Went Up There destroyed the show, but also know that I had to make an announcement about my special. And I wanted to say something that was real. So I had the crowd up here. I could have said good night. I took it down and I explained what this special was meant to me how it got here And it was a very hard film if you listen to that video you could tell people's ride with me

Yeah, I didn't have to I ain't gotta get on standing all right Yeah, I said I made my points and I knew I was gonna use this so I thought they was giving me the light I'm like, I'm the last one. I would over my time not knowing that anybody else was on the show That was closing. I thought I was closing They were trying to get you off the stage with a headline. No, they wasn't. Well, you know Cory was headlining, right? So you went off the stage. I knew it off my time. Yeah, so I'm leaving Good night. Good night. And then they said we got one more guest coming up from the 30-30 podcast Mm-hmm, or whatever number it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they said blah blah blah.

And I was like, Oh, I want to listen to this. Yeah. And the reason why I want to listen to it, I had already wanted to talk to this guy. Why? I'm gonna tell you why. Because I was fed up and like a lot of comedians fed up with the antics of why everything that comes out your mouth has to be negative and sh** people. I want to have a conversation not just for me but for the comedy community. Why is it that you always have to talk sh** about people and nobody asked you? But why are you letting it bother you? Because you know we've been in those rooms. You know I've seen you in a small venue and I've seen you in huge venues.

I've seen David's. Why did I let what bother me? But why are you letting what he said bother you? Because you know what it is. You know you f*****. You don't know said bother you? Because you know what it is. You know you fucking know what it is. You don't know I'm sensitive? I'm sensitive. Oh, okay.

And then even with you, you know, outside of being sensitive, this is a person that always does this shit. Like all the time. You know what I'm saying? It's the same thing. And the only way that you can actually ever get to him to talk to him is if you pop up on him. Because even in my experience, I mean, I'm talking about this person has talked about me

years and years and years, tried to apologize through another comedian. Nah, don't send me D-Ray to apologize to me. I want you to apologize to me as a mother because of the shit you said about my son. Then I had to call you, I'm talking about block my number out to call you, and you answer the phone like, who dis?

You know what I'm saying? And then you apologize. And then I would have never made those comments about you had I knew you were a comedian what that what that gotta do with me being he has on the phone and then later and later stories it you get on that mic again on on on the show or whatever on your podcast show which is like the only thing you have you know what I'm saying and you talk about me again you talk about me you talk about so he cannot leave our names and the names of the greats and the name of the people that he cannot

beat right on a Netflix on anything else in any other realm out of his mouth he can't do that so that's all he has is that Mike and that door in that cold corner right you know without anybody anybody being able to respond right without having a pain of anybody and here's the thing, you know, without anybody being able to respond, without having the opinion of anybody. And here's the thing, whether you know it or not, it was so many comedians that called me and said thank you. And going back to your question is that,

you asked a question? Yes, he asked a question earlier. Back to your point is that, I'm a good friend. People want to say all this s***, even with that, when I had a special special or Dave Chappelle put them on what you don't know is Netflix had already agreed to do a special with me produced by Dave or not. But so what what if Dave did put you on so what you his man?

No, what I'm saying is I'm working like answering like dumb questions, you know saying like okay And this is what people don't understand. Yeah, and this is where the loyalty comes in. Dave ain't just handing out specials. That's the point. The people that are very deserving of it. That's the point I'm making but people don't understand that. Any success somebody get with hard work whatever, they want to say you had to do so and so. So you dismissing work ethics, you dismissing going hard, you dismissing God. I don't think nobody is. I just think you take it.

People see the blind. I'm not saying you know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying? But it just makes sense. It's like if I wanted to do a podcast, right? Why wouldn't I go to Charlamagne who has his own podcast, right? That's my guy and he's gonna hopefully look out the best interest even when I was doing my book I call Charlamagne and say yo, these are the terms for the book. What do you think? He's done it before it Okay, I have a question. Could you and Cory ever get on the same page?

I think him in just what is a different because what I need to get on talking about somebody's child is another thing But I will say this he was for me. I respected him and Jeff's situation is different because talking about somebody's child is nothing. But could you? I will say this, for me, I respected him. Everybody don't agree with his style of comedy and I've said this to people before. Again, I don't want to talk about it because here's the thing, I make a conversation. It's been 17 minutes since you've been talking about it. I know. I know.

All right, because somebody told me not to do it. You had a mild disagreement. That's what it was. No, we didn't have a mild disagreement. We had a mis-signal. F*** them. Have y'all spoke? No, I don't really have a net. But then you have to understand something too.

This man doesn't respect his own family. Some point it's like there's no making up with a person like this. There is no trying to understand, to sit down. That type of person needs healing and therapy of his own. And I think that's why I said a prayer earlier. The thing is there is no reason to for me to do it I've already started with limited contact. Yeah, always started with a mutual respect But if you lose respect for me, I lose respect for you

And even when I say what I said on stage now one time did I berate him now one time? Did I say anything bad about his comedy now one time to say anything about his family now one time? I say anything bad about him.. Now one time I say anything about his family. Now one time I say anything bad about him. I explained to what I.

Well, Donnell, we appreciate you for joining us. It's a new dawn. Donnell, make sure you check out his special. It's a new life for me. Alright, it's the Breakfast Club. It's Donnell Rawlins. Thank you. Everybody, it's E, J, N, V,, Jess Hilarion, Charlamagne the Guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes indeed. We have Jirard Call-Michael. Welcome. I'll be doing your voice in the shower. Morning everybody, it's DJ... Jirard thinks about you when he's naked.

Yeah, you know what, let's lean into all the gay s***. Like sometimes when I'm naked, I people come right after donkey today. Oh my God. Let me tell you something. I was responding to you like Monique. I was in my house just pacing around just being like, Lenard, Lenard, what would your mother say about giving me? No, let's talk about it. I was in my house just pacing around just being like, Lennard, what would your mother say about giving me? No, let's talk about that. So there's a couple things I want to make clear about that. So, um,

Charlamagne gave you donkey today. Gave me donkey today. For what Charlamagne? You reported on a, you played a clip of my stand up, but it started at the punchline and it like completely erased the setup of it and I really don't like that. It made it seem like I was talking like I'm into some type of race, sexual, slavery role-play with my boyfriend which is untrue, it's so false and I expect that type of thing from TMZ because they have no humanity, they don't care about the people that get hurt when

they report these sort of things but you're a friend so I really didn't like that like I know you repeated it in the Neil interview I didn't like that that that was very very unfair it was a joke but yeah but I need you to watch the show anybody who watches the show is not what I said it's so false it's so untrue and I don't like that because it's like no no, well we'll get into that later. It's a joke about reading. It has nothing to do with my boyfriend, it has nothing, like the sex that we have,

it has nothing to do with sex. It's something that like people have been reporting on and I really, really don't like it. It's about my boyfriend reading so much, he makes me feel insecure about my level of reading. And look, I get it. It's something that people have been running with because, one, because I have a white boyfriend so like people like try and

create some type of crazy story out of that like and it's a small group of people really like I read all the tweets and it's like some gay black men and some Ku Klux Klan members who don't like that I have a white boyfriend they agree on that so congratulations you like the Klan and Dr. Umar and some people find some common ground on that but he's a human being he deserves respect I deserve respect I don't appreciate things being misreported or like said about him in that way it's completely false so I don't like that I just want to make that clear that's that's not something I know you were just reading the news but like you're a friend and I want you to like actually have nuance with these stories like people can get hurt

They're actually real lives at stake with the things that you say and look come after me. That's fine But don't come after like my my boyfriend I'm saying when that's in the headline and that's reported like and in misreport it like oh, oh, he's into race, slave play with his white boyfriend. I don't like that headline, because it's false, it's not true at all. Now, on to Dave Chappelle. No, I wanna stick to the joke though. In context, the joke's still not a good joke.

Well, that's on you. Look, I've been on professional community for a while. I got some- Because you're still saying you're a slave, he's a slave master, and the slave master's teaching the slave to read. You know, listen, I'm talking about my own personal insecurity

I'm an educated person. I'm usually the smartest person in the room. He reads so much It makes me feel like oh do I even know how to read that joke works if I had a black boyfriend My boyfriend were black that joke actually works better I had a black boyfriend and you the slave and the white person is the slave Listen if you are from North Carolina where you know, the first anti-literacy laws were created in North and South Carolina Sure, sure sure If you were from North Carolina where you know the first anti-literacy laws were created in North and South Carolina Sure, sure sure But that's not my role as a comedian to start getting into like like literacy laws and stuff like that. You've completely lost it

I evoke provocative imagery sometimes in my jokes. Some people are very sensitive to that. That's your right You don't have to laugh at that. You could like hear the word slavery and completely shut off. That's completely fine But don't misconstrued what I said and and don't make it into something that it's not, because that's where I start to get offended. Yeah, I don't think we made it into something that was misconstrued. No, no, that, the statement, oh, you said it multiple times on the show,

oh, he's into slave role play with his white boyfriend. That's untrue. I don't know if I said it like that. I think I'm- You said it, Charlamagne, that is not the joke. The joke's about me reading. The joke's about my insecurity about not being as well read.

When I'd be in bed next to him and he's on his third- Oh, I get what you're saying. The joke is about, okay, I get it. I get it. When I'm in bed next to him and he's on his third novel of the month, I'd be watching breakfast club interviews and I feel like, oh, I should read more.

That's what the joke is. The joke has nothing to do with sex, has nothing to do with the type of sex that we have and that's just absolutely false We're still not a good joke when you black and hey listen that's on you They're so you you do stand up and you figure it out for me the crowds laugh. Whatever I'll say this about if the crowd is majority white are they laughing with you or actually, you know, it's fine I'm actually I'm actually shocked. It's like a pretty decent amount of black people coming out to see me I really appreciate y'all for coming out. I want y'all to keep coming out too. I like I like the seeing it really Especially black women are like in the crowd. They've been like talking to me

They seem invested in my life and it makes me feel really really special So I I really like that and I appreciate that now I want to move on to the Dave Chappelle portion of it because I've heard you comment on that too. I Deeply regret ever saying anything about Dave Chappelle to the press I want to say that I'm sorry for that because one I'm a huge Dave Chappelle Dave Chappelle fan I love Dave like I think he's brilliant I think he's a bright light in a dying industry I think he's more important now than ever before because like comedians are now just posting clips of them doing crowd work online

and calling it art. And it's not art. Dave Chappelle is an artist. He's one of the few artists that we have. And I care deeply about the work that he makes. With that said, the criticism that I had had nothing to do with the morality of the joke, had nothing to do with the ethics of the joke. That's something that's also been misreported. The criticism I had was that of a fan someone who respects him so much that I want him to focus his genius on a wide range of

topics I think that like it started but it started being really really focused on one thing well I'll say this look that's like saying that about the slave job I'll say I'll say this I'm Also a big fan of jay-z if jay-z made three albums about trans people I'd be like hey What's going on with Jack? But jay-z made three albums more than three albums about selling drugs You don't label you just don't put him in that uh, you don't pigeonhole him with that No, they jay-z. I mean listen, I would love to get to a jay-z argument. Jay-z was very personal very emotional He always evolved. 444 was incredible because it showed growth and evolution

and something you've never seen before in rap. And that's a thing with comedy too. Comedy doesn't grow, comedy doesn't evolve. It's kind of stunted like rap and we just started getting real braggadocious, antagonistic with the crowd and it can evolve. And we need smart people like Dave, like Chris Rock, like myself,

to actually evolve the art form, because it is dying. It's so, so important for people to go up and do deep, personal stories, or have a deep perspective about things going on in the world, because it's not happening. When you see it online, yeah, I know. But listen, all I'm saying is, because I've talked about Dave a lot. I don't want to talk about Dave anymore. I

Honestly, I called him an eagle mania. I'm an eagle maniac. I'm here to talk about me I have a show that I want to talk about Yeah, yeah, I know they know it and I'll tell you honestly from now on any thoughts I have for Dave will be directed In a phone call to Dave I'll never do it again. I'll never I do apologize for that. I'm man enough to say that I bet is wrong I don't I don't need it. I don't want the attention is going on way too long. Don't want it at all I'm here to talk about me Myself, so I'm a he said he was upset because he considered you guys friends and that you went off the rail without having a conversation.

Did you watch the show? I texted you last night, did you watch the show? You've been watching it? Did you watch the next episode? No, I watched the first three. Oh, man, you're gonna love the next episode. So respond to what he said, because he considered you guys friends.

That is my friend, I said it. During Don Quijote's day, I said I love you. But he felt like he went off the rail. Now, Envy, now, Envy. No, because I want you to apologize to him, but if you feel the way, I think that, Charlamagne, you should apologize to him as well. I don't feel like I don't wanna apologize. Whoa, whoavy, now, Envy. No, because I want you to apologize to him, but if you feel the way, I think that, Charlamagne, you should apologize to him as well. I don't feel like I want to apologize.

Whoa. Okay. That's not a diss. Whoa. All right, well, I'm taking my f***ing camera back. I was not just about him. You're a sincere person. I'm joking.

Would you want me to give you one of these half-assed bulls*** industry? I don't feel like I need to apologize. I think I made myself clear. I have no need for an apology. Yeah, yeah. If it hits me one day, I'm like, you know what, that was wrong. But in the moment, I feel good. All right, well, I'll wait for that

when I'm in the shower thinking about DJ Envy. I know that, I know that's right. All right, we got more with comedian Gerard Carmichael when we come back, so don't move, it's The Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning, everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking in with comedian Gerard Carmichael.

Now, you also talk about black women being super supportive when you first came out but also being mad at you at the same time. Oh, because I got a white boyfriend? Yeah, you know, it's funny they they met my boyfriend they love him like my boyfriend my boyfriend is actually he's so real. That's part of reason like the any lie about him makes me upset because he's so he's so real my homegirl every loves Mike Mike doesn't engage a small talk that's the thing that I actually am trying to learn because like I can be my next book Oh

watch my talk sucks there we go you should you got to meet my boyfriend it like he doesn't do it at all if you talk to him about the weather he'll just be quiet and I'm trying to learn that way I'd be out in the world just lying to people just like no good shirt just like I'd be out in the world just lying to people just like no good shirt Just like I have a lot of good shirt conversations. It's all it's all I gotta stop doing that I don't like that. How does he feel when you because you talk about your life with a reality show How do you feel when you talk about your sex capades or even that your conversation with Tyler the creator? How does it make him feel funny? Do you have conversations before? Yeah, he knows all of it

I mean, it's funny because I started shooting the reality show and then our relationship began so he like he came in at a time when I'm dealing with a lot of things and the show is just about me like me trying to explore all these deep things about myself and being in therapy trying to work through problems like I'm exposing it's the most vulnerable show of all time. Yeah. You've like you've never seen a show more vulnerable than this Did he make you more comfortable with that? He makes me more comfortable in life I think I'm a better person because my boyfriend I feel so much calmer now

Like I'm a person that had a lot of anxiety and you could see it even in the first episode You could see like it's me trying to get all my anxiety out I think that's why the audience feels that way. They feel a little awkward because that's that's how I felt. I think it transmutes into the art form. I was somebody that was just like constantly scared, constantly nervous, afraid of how I would be perceived, afraid of like, you know, like coming in masculine environments as a gay man, like just terrified all the time. Afraid of the kind of sex I was having. I was thinking about that,

because people have been talking about, I put a foot in my mouth in the first episode. People can call people, you know, and I also want to set the record straight. He was Guatemalan, people say his white toes. He was Guatemalan, maybe that doesn't matter to some people. But I was like, I toes a toe. I've had to black feet my mouth too.

I was afraid of the type of sex I was having. I thought it was dirty and so wrong. And people, gay, straight, whatever, have a lot of sexual shame. They're afraid of things. So I was doing things like on camera to liberate myself. Like it was important for me to like eradicate that shame. Like, oh, I put a foot in my mouth for y'all.

A lot of people don't think you're really gay though. And they think that you just put the foot in Your mouth to kind of prove that you gain. They were like if he was really gay I mean, you know only fans coming soon, I guess There's a lot of silly things there are people who get that news from Twitter What did you mean how did you met through a mutual friend We met years ago in LA and then we started dating. It's been a year and a half now. So I wanted to ask you about you and Tyler because y'all are actually really friends.

Yeah. Right? Yeah. Was that like for fun or did you really really have romantic feelings for Tyler? Yeah I did. I was in turmoil over that for a year and that's a hard thing to deal with. Of course it's like I see people online talk about as awkward as cringe. Yeah, they have having feelings for your best friend is very awkward, very, very cringe. I'm thankful that he did it because I've never seen a conversation

like that played out on television or in any space and I thought it was really, really important. I've never like, I've never seen seen a black man express feelings for another black man like that ever before. And I'm trying to make art that I wish I'd seen as a kid. I'm trying to make things and put things out there that I needed. And so it was really important. I thought it was a really important conversation. I'm so thankful to Tyler for doing it because it's a heart. Did his response hurt you? Because when he said he called you a stupid b**** you all laughed like he laughed about it did that really hurt your feelings or yeah it's just like oh because i listen getting called a stupid b**** yeah but that's just he called me a stupid b**** i know but i call

my best friend a stupid b**** all the time yeah so i was in my feelings i was really hurt it was just okay they best friends they cool but it really did hurt did you see what he said at Coachella yeah i was watching it i stayed up late for that too. I made a sandwich. I was up at three in the morning. I thought it was funny. How did you feel about that? Like you stayed up late to watch Tyler. I was on FaceTime with him.

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. He's emotionally evolved. I'm the one that's trying to catch up. He's great. He's one of the few. He said you trying to, I bet y'all saw my best friend trying to f*** me on camera. Yeah, but I thought it was funny.

I was like, yeah, that was funny. What's your relationship now? Y'all cool after the conversations? Y'all still speaking? Yeah, we're still talking. We're still talking. We're still talking. We're still talking. We're still talking. We're still talking. We're still talking. I bet y'all saw my best friend try to f*** me on camera. Yeah, I thought it was funny. I was like, yeah, that was funny.

What's your relationship now? Y'all cool after the conversations? Yeah, we cool. I mean, he's making jokes about it. We cool. He seemed like a troll to us. Yeah, he called me. We moved on. I have definitely moved on. It was a very, very tough moment in my life. And I have nothing but gratitude for him for doing that on camera. It's wild, right? But it was hard off camera. That was a difficult thing to deal with off camera Like it was a whole year. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was I was on music soul child have crazy mode

To him during that year, like why do you called me a stupid Charlemagne? Did you watch the show? Somebody you love and careful what I was thinking of like well why would he let a whole year go by? Why would either one of them let a whole year go? Well it's very easy so that's the thing it's very easy for things to like just fall back into the elephant in the room like oh okay we're not gonna talk about it we just go to breakfast like I have that same relationship with my parents where it's like oh there are things that we don't really want to talk about so we don't and we engage in small talk.

We talk about everything else and that's what the show was. The show was an excuse to have a difficult conversation that I'd otherwise be afraid to have. How did your mom, how do you think black women in general will feel about you referring to your mother as a b****. Oh man, that's been, oh the family been, the family been having, they got a group chat without me. I'm talking about that. That was wild, Gerard. You know, it's funny that I actually didn't consider that like when I said it and maybe that's me being inconsiderate and maybe there is some like latent hurt that is coming out when I say that.

I actually wasn't saying it, I love my mother. I have a deep respect for my mother. I say it kind of casually, kind of gay, like just on stage as in a public thing. You said it like it's not your mom. I say it just nonchalantly. I call people bitches and n****s all the time. Your mom?

Not your mother? You know, listen. You can call your dad a n****. You can even call your dad a n**** with your mom. But you ain't gonna get mad at Tyler for a year because he said stupid b****. Exactly cuz he says it wasn't okay it was the dismissal of the emotion yeah it wasn't just that it was that that was all he said but no with my mom no that's something that we talked about I would

rather focus on the emotion behind it it's like it's easy to get hung up on I actually get really really angry with my family when they start talking about like you know my dad calls like I don't like, you know, my dad calls like, I don't like that you call your mom a bitch. I'm like, that's the worst thing we've done to my mother. Like I think as a family, we've done worse. So more so, why did you call her a bitch? Or why am I hurt?

Yeah. What's the cause of the hurt? Like, you know, like I feel rejected by my creator. That's a difficult thing to live with. Like, you know, I'm not the only person that's living with some issues with their parents, with their mom, or you just, you don't see eye to eye

and it makes you feel bad about yourself. That's how I feel, and that's a really, really hard thing to live with, and I'm trying to make art and trying to make sense of all of it, but it's really tough. All right, we'll keep it locked. We have more with comedian Gerard Carmichael. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It is DJ Envy Jess Hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club Jirard Carmichael Sue here Charlamagne What would you say to people who would say your mom is homophobic? But when I look at it, I say no, she's very religious. I think she's looking at it through the lens of religion Yeah, yeah And I think that at some point you have to think about how you got to the place that you are. I had a really good conversation with my mom about even her finding religion and needing religion about the hurt, the disappointment in her life from her dad and from other people

in her life that led her to needing God as much as she does and depending on God as much she does and we were having a really, really good conversation. Then my dad woke up and interrupted. You know, you have to explore your life. You got to explore the reasons why because you can hurt people. I know like people call it faith, whatever, but they're human beings and like your opinion, my mother's opinion of me matters so much. What made you want to do it now? Well because after I came out, I realized that there are other things I needed to come

out about. I think everybody's in a closet about something and I was in a closet, it was more than just being gay, it was about feelings that I have. I was in a closet about sex addiction or how I am as a friend or all these things like just like I was a closeted person. I was holding everything inside and the show was an outlet for me. I'm an artist and I use art as a means of expression and as a means to heal and so I the show just felt like a natural. I was doing all

these shows. I was doing stand-up and stand-up started just felt like a natural I was doing all these shows I was doing stand-up and stand-up started being kind of a form of therapy it was like a reassociative therapy that would just go up and I would talk about a problem that I have a deep personal problem that I have the response from the audience started being better that's what I mean like people coming to the shows they like like the heckles that I get as a comedian are so thoughtful like no comedian gets like the thought like people turn into therapists in the audience

I was like those heckles aren't real that part of the audience is no no, but people are smart I believe that I believe that like Twitter isn't just the that's not what the world is like it on any of the hate it Yeah, listen, sometimes I search your name to make me feel better about myself No, but the heckles that I get are thoughtful responses because you open yourself up and people open themselves up I like they they respond in kind and and so I'm glad you're a good friend to your friends who are expressing themselves to you I was how did you deal with the sex addiction sex addiction still? He's dealing with it You just be on Grindr before your boyfriend you was on grind Just didn't it that was oh that was that had to be before your boyfriend

Right before my boyfriend and you know, but. And you know, sex is something else, man. You gotta keep watching the show. I had a good explanation, though. You said because you waited so long to come out. Yeah. So now you feel like a 17-year-old. Yeah. Yeah.

Making up for lost time. Like, just like, yeah. My emotional maturity level was a bit delayed. That's it's a little embarrassing to admit but true. But even that I do think there are certain aspects of my personality that I inherit from my father. I've been reading about that a lot just like being, you know, you you learn how to be a man from your dad and and I learned he got mad he gonna get mad because he gonna watch this like always throwing me under the bus but it's just true like it's something you learn therapy like oh this is how you model yourself as a man and so we I

look to sex as a form of validation for my manly hood to make me feel like a man. Yeah. What did this show do for you that therapy can't? Been using it as a form of therapy because therapy is exploring yourself and exploring your past but it's not necessarily confrontation. I still needed a tool to be confident enough to have a conversation with my dad that I'd be terrified having otherwise. Like, you know, if I'm home in North Carolina, I'm just like, you know, smiling, being a good son, being the son that they want me to be. And I'm not saying the real things,

asking the real questions. When the camera's on, I become like a journalist for my own life, like, no, no, no, what's that shit you said in 98? You know, I get real, real like, but without the cameras, I'm afraid. You do show how much of a shitty friend you are too. Yeah, no, no.

What you did pool was foul. I know, I know. Can I tell you? You can't be a best man in a wedding and show up an hour late to the wedding. It's not your wedding. And then compare it to Jury Duty. Why? You know, look, weddings are hard because I'm a performer and so I look at weddings as a show. Like, alright, what is this show that we're going to like but but I I love poo and you know I actually got a head and we've been talking a lot I hope they like the episode like he's a very sweet thoughtful friend and inspired me so much and so I know

like some of the worst parts of myself. I'm putting out there unedited, just like letting it let in the world see and judge and criticize but I feel bad for that like I felt bad in that episode it's something I'm deeply apologetic for I'm learning I'm still growing I'm learning to not be as selfish sure that's a means of self-protection like I'm selfish because I'm scared and I'm learning not be as afraid. Another thing you say on the show is being honest is cool until you have a reason to lie Yeah, you say it's hard to tell the truth to people you love. Yeah, you're not feel that way Do you not feel that way sometimes like like yeah, because the consequences are so hard

I heard him the snakes are the stakes are so high. I say that to my mom. I'm like like sometimes I'm talking my mom I'm like hey be careful what you say to me because I'll remember it for the rest of my life Every word that she says it's so piercing. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely Is Gerard Carmichael an industry plant? Am I an industry plant? I mean listen, I wish the Illuminati was real. I wish that I could be a plant. I had to sign up in a heartbeat No, I actually Unfortunately, I had to work hard to get where I am. I had to like like think and expose

I'm exposing so much of my life. I've worked very very hard to get where I am But yeah, if I could have to get to the top Cuz you want to do it I'm saying as a joke Like like like I thought the little rail was defending you on club, you know You know the funny thing too? If I may now I'm gonna sound like a rapper but a lot of these comedians who criticize me is like, no no no, before I came out, coming out was the hardest thing I ever did in my

life. I was afraid. I also had multiple specials. I had a sitcom on NBC that ran for three seasons. I was getting other people's shows. I was more successful than them straight. So then to pretend that like oh like he came out like that's silly that's silly I don't even entertain that. I want to ask could you just mention something you said that you had all of this great

stuff going on before you came out. Yeah. So do you feel like coming out as gay is taking away the focus on everything you've done in your career? No. Carmichael still exists streaming on Hulu. who I Google you what's gonna come up to the same way You said if you Google Dave, it's all transgender stuff Watch the show. I hope you watch the show like if you see the show you'll see the truth You know, I'm confident in that like, you know, I think this like up top I was just upset because something untrue was there I say enough true things to talk about Like so I don't need any lies. I don't need any of that. But yeah, I'm making art about my life and I'm really

proud of it. I hope people watch the show. I think the show's funny. Yeah, it's funny. What kind of funny? Ha ha funny or like... Man, y'all so straight. Y'all are so straight. So straight. Is this ha ha funny? Is this Paul's funny? Like, Jesus Christ, you are so straight. Congratulations. Oh my God. Everybody clap for the straight man.

Oh my God. Jesus. Jerome Carl Michael, ladies and gentlemen. Brought you a candle. Yes, he did. Thank you. Thank you all very much. Thank you very much.

You can check out the reality show Fridays on HBO Max. Thank you brother for joining us. Thanks for having me. Thank you very much. Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida Man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey. The Florida Man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason.

It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested a Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. Put the breakfast club, bitches. Donkey of the day, when Shalom ain't a guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. What is so funny? That's that devilish laugh. What is so funny? You got a burning bush with Jesus?

No, no, no. No, I was laughing at something my son Carlos Miller posted. My guy Carlos Miller. Listen, donkey today goes to a 20-year-old Florida man named Jeremy Lang. Now what does your uncle Sharla always say about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida and today is no exception. Now I'm gonna tell you right now we keep having all these conversations about border security but I see stories like the one I'm about to tell you and all I keep thinking is we building walls for the wrong people. We need to build more walls okay finish the one at the border because yes we need stronger border security but who gonna keep these

crazies from within away from us. Okay I'm looking at Jeremy Lang and I'm saying I need a wall built internally here in America to keep us away from them. Who is them? Them is the crazies. Okay see he's a young man so I can grace only 20 years old but then I see what he's accused of and it just reinforces to me that this new era we are in because of social media just has completely completely made people lose sight of what reality is. Hell, if you 20 you probably don't know what reality is. You never experienced it. You grew up in an era of social media and YouTube and nothing, I repeat nothing, will make you out of touch with reality like those platforms. Now Jeremy wanted to steal from Jesus, okay? Why Jesus? What a place where people worship, okay? Jesus. and that place is a church. Yes Jeremy was arrested last week for

burglarizing a church and police say he's probably linked to six more. What type of table you get in hell for that? Okay I should get you in the VIP section of Club Satan with bottle service but Jeremy was arrested for burglarizing the church. Let's go to ABC3 for the report please. Police say 20 year old Jeremy Lang is responsible for at least seven burglaries over church. Let's go to ABC3 for the report, please. Police say 20-year-old Jeremy Lange is responsible for at least seven burglaries over a two-and-a-half-week span. Surveillance footage we obtained from Pastor Clifton Riley at Bethel AME Church shows the suspect break several windows

before eventually climbing in last Friday night. The pastor tells me he spent less than five minutes inside and left with nothing. Authorities say Lange was spotted Monday night wearing the same clothes from the surveillance days prior. He was found carrying burglary tools, marijuana, and a stolen firearm. And PPD says Jeremy Lang provided a false name to them at the time of his arrest. He is charged with one of the burglaries at this church. Other charges are pending from the six

other churches that he's burglarized. PPD did not identify the items that he's accused of stealing. I definitely could just give him Don Quijote a day for that you know I'm saying because you know you stole from the church. God definitely got something for this jackass but that's between him and his creator but the reason I'm giving them Don Quijote a day is not only because he stole from all those churches but police searched his cell phone and in his cell phone He had internet searches like and I quote How to cut shirt into a mask

Jesus where do church keep money? These are actual quotes do churches have Safes, let me tell you how you spelled safes SAFE apostrophe apostrophe S churches have safes. Let me tell you how you spelled safes. S-A-F-E-A-P-S-A-F-E-A-P-S. This is the one that got me. He Googled events where you raise money in Pensacola. He was going after all the sweet licks. This man was going to rob people who were actually doing great things in the community. Events where you raise money in Pensacola. I had to Google for myself events where you raise money in Pensacola because I had to see what Jeremy saw.

I wanted to see what Jeremy saw. Okay, would you like to hear some of the events this heathen was plotting on? Yes. Fourth annual Brunch Fest. Purple Paint Party. That's the second annual charity event. The Fall Paul Palooza. A pedadoc-

Charity event. Together for tomorrow event. Fourth annual Mission 22 Show and Shine. Ends for a purpose. 28th annual CCA Pensacola banquet in auction hot work hits cancer Pensacola East Hill and Northwest bro you deserve to be under the jail what are you talking about you know it's under the jail what's the hell okay you was gonna take money from people raising money for cancer you was

gonna take money from people who were encouraging people to adopt pets. I keep telling y'all, segregation wasn't a bad concept. It was just poorly executed. Should have been based on behavior, not race, because I don't want people like Jeremy eating in the same establishment I'm eating in. I don't want people like Jeremy going to the same schools as my kids,

and I damn sure don't wanna go to the same church as Jeremy because he's just in there staking the place out. I need to see what human evolution looks like for people like Jeremy. He's 20 but he thinks he can just Google search how to commit a crime against the church. How to commit crimes against the community. He literally searched for how to cut shirt into a mask. Where do church keep money? He was plotting on robbing a pet adoption and charity event i don't know if anything man made i don't know if anything man is created can rehabilitate this human i think even god would have to admit some of the product he created is just effective

please give jeremy lang the biggest he are me Lang the biggest he are horrible what you looking at okay let's play a game of yes what race is I give me good clues Jeremy Lang 20 years old from Pensacola Florida robbed about five to six churches and he googled how to cut shirt into a mask. Where do church keep money? DJ Envy, guess what? Races! White. Okay, not mad at that guess. See, if he was black he'd have the Poosh Ice D mask already so he wouldn't need to cut a mask into it so. Good. That's what I'm going with. That's what I'm not mad at that. See if he was black he'd have the Poosh-Ice-D mask already so he wouldn't need to cut a mask into it so.

Good. That's what I'm going with. That's what I'm going with. So good use of context. Lauren LaRosa, Jeremy Lang, 20 years old, of Pensacola, Florida, robbed about 5 to 6 churches, googled things like do churches have safes and used an apostrophe in safes. Guess what? Races!

I hate to do this to us. Uh oh. Us. What do you mean? I think he black Hey, I hate it I just I think he watched a little bit of like too much of first Sunday. Mm-hmm Yeah, I think he's what I hate that though, but I think he's one of us posture fiat DJ envy Lauren La Rosa, I want you both to know that you are absolutely positively wrong. Both of us are wrong?

Yes, both of y'all are wrong. Jeremy Lang is not white. Jeremy Lang is not black. Jeremy Lang is n***a. How do you think he was going to get away with that hair like that? Like you would see that going to get away with that hair like that? Like you would see that hair a mile away. I don't care if you wrap your face with a t-shirt, a sweatshirt.

You can see that hair sticking out. I'm convinced after seeing that, that M Word did it for the mixtape. He needed content for his mixtape. Damn. Look at him. Look at him. Okay. Look at him.

Prostitutes gave it away. This man looks suspicious in any neighborhood. He does. I don't care what neighborhood he's in This man looks suspicious in any neighborhood. I Don't care what neighborhood he's in. He looks suspicious black neighborhoods white neighborhoods. This man will get the police called on him All the wrong stuff Mugs I'm Not get out of here Coming straight to the path.

He was the man and he talked about Gladys all the time, but Gladys and I was really raised on the same street. The street was Chestnut Street. They changed it to James P. Brawley. I was on 415. She was on like 785 something like that just right up the street like two blocks up. Did you know her? No, no. I was a little kid but she lived out with her first husband you know what I'm saying but Gladys is a girl. Wow. How were you able to translate

See black people back in the day had the skill to do everything but they were scared to do it. They had so much fear. So like young kids now they do it. They were like I don't care. I'll do it. So I just took it and ran with him. My Uncle was one of the best bakers in the world He wouldn't get bakers from France and Italy, you know from England and he beat him all out You know me then he went to he had a cheesecake that he made it was one of the best cheesecakes in the world and he tricked him out of it and Didn't have sense enough to get a lawyer and everything gave him like $10,000.

And it was great for me. It was good. I made some money. They gave me money for wardrobe. That's why I dressed in all them suits because I thought I was a pimp. You know what I'm saying? I thought I was a straight up pimp.

Why do you help so many comedians? Comedians talk about that you've helped so many comedians in their career, in their life. What gives you the energy? Because a lot of people be like, I ain't helping them because he might get bigger than me. But you talked about so many comedians. Oh my God. Yeah.

But so many helped me. I'll never forget when I first, when I was in the comedy act theater in Atlanta and John Witherspoon came to Atlanta and he looked at me and he say, you got it. He said, you really got it. He say, I like you. So he started telling me what to do and what not to do. And he helped me, took me up on this wing. Rinaldo Ray did the same thing.

He helped me on BET when he was my co-host. People don't realize that Rinaldo Ray was a college professor before he started doing comedy. He was extremely smart. He would tell me sometimes, he said, turn your body to the right a little bit when you tell that joke It'll work better. No, I'm like, how's that gonna work better and it worked better

Charlamagne, I wish I had social media 35 years ago. The only thing we had was go in this city early, do radio, try to do TV to get people in there. Social media is a platform that really helped a lot of young Comedians now now veteran comedians like myself they get pissed because all the new young comedians are coming up faster

I've been doing comedy for 25 years 30 years and he even do a comedy with three months I'll tell them like this if you can't beat them, join them and they're winning So you might as well fall in the footsteps they are winning but that's why them young comedians feel like that's why they asking how much right because they follow them so yeah but then the only thing about it Charlamagne is when they do get booked only thing they got to say is what they did on social media that's right you got to bring out more than that that's right you know you got that seven minutes you got oh it's fine but what about this other 20 minutes

they need you to do? You can tell when a person is bombing because they start talking real positive. You know we need to take care of these kids man. You know, hey man, support these women man. Hey man, these women need your support, they need your respect. They bombing like hell.

They trying to get positive. That's a pretty part of a comedy show. You know what it is? I like to see somebody try to dig themselves out of a hole when they bomb. Oh my God. If you see me laughing really hard, it's probably because you up there stinking in it.

I remember seeing you, because I watch you guys all the time, I remember seeing you on Ridiculousness, right? Chanel West Coast, you made her so mad. You was coming, you say, I never seen you on anything. I never seen you rap with, I rap with Snoop, she got,

they went to commercial. I think it happened twice, am I right went to commercial She was but do she rap oh yeah, yeah, I think she did okay, okay, but I didn't know it But I looked at you and I'm like, oh my god, she's pissed. She got pissed. She moved that hair back commercial commercial and she came back she was more calm. Yeah, we're back here Commercial commercial and she came back she was more calm. Yeah, we're back here Trying to read up his turn off. He's I never seen you on that. I never seen you snoop I never seen you too short. I never see she was pissed. I Laughed so hard today. That was so good. How big of a deal is it now for a comedian to have a special? Does it even matter? Well, let me you know, it's funny you said that man. Oh specials are good

I just got signed for Netflix special Okay, and the reason the reason I just took it I won't go do I was gonna do it myself like Fimit make them buy you know I'm saying but they offered it to me. We're gonna do it I'm gonna do it I think around August so just shoot in Atlanta. No, no, no, no, no, we're gonna go somewhere I want to go somewhere somebody think I'm a superstar superstar. You know what I'm saying? In Atlanta? No, I'm just average. What's up, Bruce? What's happening, man? You see me in the gross, what's up, Bruce? What's happening? But I go somewhere like Chicago or Texas. Oh my God! That's where I want to go. In Atlanta, it's my city. I love it. I still live there and I had a place in LA for like 30

years. LA is just LA. You pay, they make you pay for the weather. You know what I mean? Everything is just so high. It's just ridiculous. It is. I've got a couple more questions. There's a stigma about black comedians wearing dresses to be funny, having to wear a dress to get to that next level, what's your thoughts on that? Well you know, I'm gonna be honest with you man, I did, it's funny you said that. I did a TV show that I taped one time, never came out,

it's called Bruce Bruce Bounty Hunters. I was a bounty hunter, I played a bounty hunter, I played a preacher called Reverend Get Money, it was Reverend Get Money and I played a mother named Mother Marshall which was crazy but Mother Marshall was a real lady in my church that I mimic. I copied off her and I also played a I did it in Indianapolis and I did not feel comfortable in that dress. You know what I'm saying? At all and some people could do it, some people, if it worked for you, you do it. Flip Wilson did it when he did Geraldine. You know, cause Flip Wilson's show was a variety show which I love because it wasn't a black show, it

was a show for everybody and that's what people got to understand. But if they want to dress up in a dress, do your thing. You know, but that's not my thing. Tyler Perry made it big. He's one of the best. But to me, I love Tyler Perry, but Joe is funnier than Tyler Perry made it big he he's one of the best but to me I love Tyler Perry But Joe is funny than Tyler Perry then my deal. Well when he plays Joe He plays Joe Joe is funny. Yep, Joe have oxygen tank. Yep, and smokey weed Coughing and I say thank you Jesus So when he plays Joe Joe is the funniest dude. That's just me. I love my deal. I think we had a lot with Joe too.

Yeah, I love my deal. But Joe. Joe's funny, dude. Oh my God, Joe is funny. And see, back then when we used to see people in their dresses, I even see like, when they used to do men on film on the Living Color, it was just funny.

Like, I never thought nothing of it. Men on film was a thing. Remember when they talked about Moby Dick? Moby Dick, that gets two snaps and a kiss and a roundabout. You remember the twist? Yeah. The twist, yeah. Why do you have to say your name twice? Because my mommy used to call me twice. My mama said if I call you the third time I'm going to kill you. So my mom said if I call you three times you're gonna die today and my mother was a little

woman about 140. I mean she was just loving and knew how to make her way out of no way. Most mothers do. That's why it's always good when you do get successful and you start making money, make sure you take care of your mom. And one thing you got to realize, it don't take much like you think it does. People think like, well I got to do that. No, your mom don't want that much. She just want to make sure she's okay, she's comfortable and she got a little money.

My mother, the last 20 years of her life, I made sure she was straight. Didn't pay no bills, nothing. But it didn't take much. But then when your family members found out about it, they started trying to use you too. You know, my mom going through something, well, that's your mother. this one is mine Well there you have it is Bruce Bruce We've been trying to get Bruce Bruce up here for a minute man You know I've always just respected you as a comedy legend man.

She's this Asian girl, but she sings. She in the Navy? What? Which Navy? It's got to do with anything. I would have never guessed she was Asian. Her voice is beautiful. I know. It's great, but that's why the internet is like googling and gagging over it. I've never heard an Asian sing ever. Yeah. Not that I think about it. Well, shout out to Sailor. I'm super excited to see where she takes her career because her video went viral. Now everybody's trying to hop on the bandwagon. She's dope too. Her aesthetic is fine. Aesthetic is

dope. She wears like these black grills. It's like anime. Yeah, it's kind of anime-ish but someone told me that it's like normal in their culture. Where black girls?

I do, man. The positive note comes from late great Colin Powell. I love this because I lived this and I want everybody to apply this to their life. If you are going to achieve excellence in big things you develop the habit in little matters. Listen to what I just said if you're going to achieve excellence in big things you develop the habit in little matters. You got to be excellent with the so-called little things before you can be excellent with the so-called big things because excellence is not an exception. It is a prevailing attitude. Have a blessed day.
