Good morning.

Hey, Latoya.
Get it off your chest.
Okay.
I'm a delivery driver for Walmart, and I just want to get off my chest.
These customers, when I'm at the door, they know I'm at the door, and they open the door,
and they dogs come out.
Like, you know I'm at the door.
Why would you let your dog out?
Got to make sure.
Got to make sure it's all peaches and cream.
Got to make sure you are who you say you are.
That's all.
A little added protection. And they didn't expect for me to grab them because they running oh no
well hopefully you get bit one day and it don't cause too much damage you get a nice little
lawsuit because they gotta warn you about the dog they're not supposed to just let their dog out on
you now well you know what happened when they open the door when they open the door to get the package
a lot of times the dog no they know that dog behind them. They should know better.
And they know how they dogs are.
Right.
They know how they dogs are.
Right, they come to the door first
when I ring the doorbell.
Yeah, and depending what time of day it is,
it might have been a long day for you.
Dog might smell fish.
Be a little hungry when you come to the door.
Tell them you don't smell like fish, mama.
Tell them you don't smell like fish.
No, I don't smell like fish.
And my uniform is always clean.
There you go.

Hello, who's this?
Hey, what's up, Envy?
What's up?
What's your name, brother?
Gerard from North Carolina, man.
Gerard, what up, man?
Get it off your chest.
Hey, why you always hit on the Cowboys, Envy?
Because I'm a Giants fan.
Chillin', man.
What's up, King?
Peace, King. How you doing, brother?
Jess, how you doing, beautiful?
I'm good, baby. Good morning.
Envy, I still love you, though, man, even though you're a Cowboy hater.
Super bold as you remember that, all right?
You say that every year.
And since you're from North Carolina, how come you're not a Panthers fan, man?
Nah, man. Nah, nah, nah.
How old are you, my brother?
37.
Okay, I was born in 1978, so I'm 45.
People don't understand, growing up in the Carolinas, South Carolina, North Carolina,
we didn't have no football teams.
And so most people that we knew were either, my daddy was a Dallas Cowboy fan,
there's a lot of 49ers fans and Steelers fans as well in the Carolinas. So the Panthers
didn't come around until later.
The Panthers came around in, I think, in 93.
That's right.
I'm already married to Cowboys
by then. There you go, man. My daddy
told me when they were playing the Steelers in the Super Bowl, man,
you got to pull for the Cowboys and nobody else.
That's right. Y'all been abused
your whole life, man.
Have a good one. First of all, we were not abused our whole lives. And the reason weall been abused Your whole life man Have a good one First of all
We were not abused
Our whole lives
And the reason we weren't
Abused our whole lives
Because in the 90s
We dominated sir
Yes
But y'all don't remember
The 90s
And there's also
An AI generator
That picked the Cowboys
To win the Super Bowl
In 2028
I just want to throw that out
Cowboys ain't winning

still almost impossible to get a job.
I've been looking for jobs for months now and still cannot find anything.
I have a computer science degree and it's still almost impossible, man.
We don't disagree with you.
Yeah.
We know this to be true.
Yeah.
We've been hearing this for years. Where you from where you coming from new york uh i'm in connecticut no

pardon me oh yes um so i make ios apps so i make iphone apps so if you go on the
app store you can see some of my apps it's called the nerd app so it's d-i-p nerd space apps okay
and you look llc you think about me you think about leaving connecticut yeah i've talked about
it man but it's hard man um so i had a job job before, but they laid me off, and we're just stuck right now, and it's hard.
But as I said, I've been making iPhone apps, so I'd love it if anybody, I'm not asking
for money, just come check out my app, them support it. It's in the app store right now.
What kind of world do we live in where a Jamaican can't find
one job? I grew up with Jamaicans

Now they can't find one.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, what's happening?
It's your boy, John, man.
What up, Envy?
Charlemagne and Gardner.
Beautiful chest.
Good morning.
What's up, John?
What's happening?
Man, I got to get it off my chest, man.
Listen, man, check this out.
I just got off at 6 o'clock, right?
I'm trying to go to McDonald's and get me a nice, fresh, hot sausage and cheese McMuffin.
Awesome.
These motherfuckers got the nerve to have an attitude because it's day late.
Y'all supposed to be open at 6 o'clock.
It's 6.10.
Y'all ain't opened up yet.
Then we got to wait two, three minutes and we short-staffed and all that.
Yo, listen, man.
It's not my problem, bro.
Get my goddamn business, man.
Hey, well, that's not the attitude.
I understand, but that's not the attitude to have.
Everybody's probably a little stressed out this morning, okay?
Yeah, but they still have to be able to maintain a level of professionalism
because the customer is never wrong.
Well, I don't believe that, but not in this case.
This same thing happened yesterday.
They was late opening up yesterday, bro.
Where's this McDonald's at?
What city?
I order the same McMuffin every morning when I get off at 6, man.
It's nothing, boy. What city? Nothing, boy. Where you from, bro? I'm in Georgia, man. I hate to say's at? What city? I order the same McMuffin every morning when I get up at 6, man. It's nothing, boy.
What city?
Where you from, bro?
I'm in Georgia, man.
I hate to say it.
I'm from New York.
I'm from Brooklyn,
so you can understand my pain, man.
I'm in Georgia with this bull.
You can't understand your pain,
but I'll tell you one thing.
Man doesn't take you
where money won't.
So if you just, you know,
especially if you go there
all the time
and you a nice person,
they'll probably be happy
to see you coming.
Pause.
And I know it's my trigger,
Jessica.
She used to work there.
Follow me on Instagram, man. Rich fatherhood, man.
Did you ever have this problem when you
worked at McDonald's? Why do we tell people to get it off their chest
if you always got something to say when they're getting it off?
Ugh.
Amir. Yo, what's up?
Is this Envy? Yeah, what's up, brother?
Where's Jess at? We're right here, baby. What's up?
How you doing, Jess? Call me.
Where you at? I'm right here, King. How are you?
I'm good, man. Good morning, man.
Good morning. Peace, peace, peace.
I'm headed to, uh, I'm in Virginia.
I'm driving to North Carolina. I'm going
to Top Cell Beach. Okay.
Congratulations. Is it warm down there?
Thanks, man. Say what?
Is it warm? Yeah, man. It feel good
out here. But I was calling to get off
my chest about my coworkers, man. Okay feels good out here. But I was trying to get off my chest about my co-workers, man.
Okay. I'm finally getting a break
from them and I ain't
had a vacation in the whole
year since I started here.
And, you know, they cool people
and everything, but you don't realize
how much
the co-workers or your friends or the people
that you around every day can really
just take a tax on your mind, man.
And even if they're your good friends or, you know, y'all get along most of the time,
you're going to have those disagreements and everybody just kind of needs time away to really get their minds straight, man.
So I'm just, I'm really blessed and grateful to have this time away with my family.
I got a little four-year-old with me.
You know, we driving safe.
We got the rental.
I got my lady in the seat.
She became my fiance this year.
I'm happy, man.
Man, congratulations.

Hey, yo, right.
Who answered the phone and told you to say that?
Okay?
You sound like people that work up here.
Hey, man, it is what it is.
But, hey, y'all have a good day.
I appreciate you.

Ladies and gentlemen, Drew Steve.
How y'all doing?
Welcome back.
How are you, brother?
I'm good, man.
I feel good.
I saw you on R.A. Melville on MSNBC.
I don't know why I was on there, brother.
I'm confused on why they put me on the news. But you know, man, I got a PR, man. I don't know what he got me doing. I don't know why I was on there, brother. I'm confused on why they put me on the news.
But you know, man, I got a PR, man.
I don't know what he got me doing.
I don't know.
I just agree with what they tell me to do.
I showed up.
I'm showing up.
I didn't even wear the right attire.
So I just was.
Right.
I like how you didn't act like you knew what was going on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You just kept repeating the same thing.
I let them know straight up.
I didn't know what the hell they were talking about.
I loved it. Negotiations. Yeah, yeah, negotiations, man. Now, when you talk about remorse. I know straight up. I didn't know what the hell they were talking about. I loved it.
Negotiations.
Yeah, yeah, negotiations, man.
Now, when you talk about remorse.
I know, yeah.
I know they talking about something.
So I'm like, hey, I'm going to just try to blend in.
I'm not going to try to do too much.
I'm just trying to blend in on here, man.
With the hoodie on.
I'm going to already be tapped into coaches.
I'm sure Ari knew who Drewski was.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Somewhat, somewhat.
That dude, he's very hip.
And he knows what's going on.
He was reciting lyrics
and stuff behind the scenes.
Yep.
Yeah, I don't know what that got.
And it worked for you
because, I mean,
you still ended up
getting a viral moment.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it was funny.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so the PR
ended up working.
It was like reverse
of what it was supposed to do.
I think we were supposed
to be on there
talking about me
going to the White House
or, yeah, dogs in the White House. Man, listen. the white house man you went to the white house yeah i went like a
year ago you had a dog no it's i don't know why they had me talking you don't really know much
i guess the the secret service dog had somebody multiple biden's dog bit a bunch of secret
service yeah but they're not putting it down so it's like and then when i said that he looked at
me like why would you yeah so i was like let and then when I said that, he looked at me like, why would you?
Yeah, so I was like, let's just move on to the next.
I wanted them to talk about what they had to talk about
because I was like, hey, f*** the subject y'all had me talking about.
I don't even want to talk about that.
Y'all just keep doing y'all.
Well, you think the dog should be killed.
If it's been a bunch.
Yeah, put down.
I like how he tried to make it sound worse.
Drewski hates dogs and wants all of them to die.
Chill, chill, chill.
In the White House.
Jesus. How many people did the. In the White House. Jesus.
How many people is a dog white?
It was a lot.
Yeah, I think it said like 24 people.
If it had been anybody else's dog, they'd have put your dog down.
But it was like Secret Service.
First they'd have put a muzzle on him, then they'd have put that dog down.
If it was a black dog, a pit bull or something.
Gone.
Yeah, it was all at the first bite.
Damn.
Yeah, not 24.
24 is, come on now.
So you got a new show
could have been out uh it's it's a amazing show it's based on um i was influenced by p diddy
and when he had the making the band show i was like well yeah no that's bruh see that's why i
can't look this way especially when i said p diddy That's why I said P. Diddy. I said P. Diddy. And, and, and.
Nah, nah, nah.
He did Making the Band.
You know, we was watching that.
You know.
Yeah, they gone.
Y'all wasn't watching Making the Band.
We was watching Making the Band.
So, yeah, it played a big part, and I really wanted to do something based on.
I hate this place.
It was too much space between.
I said what I was supposed to.
He did.
He was.
He was.
You got to get to that quick.
That's my bad.
You got to get to that quick.
I need to say making the band first.
There you go.
I was influenced by making the band.
There you go.
The show.
There you go.
And yeah, nah, it's an amazing show.
It's pretty much like a comedic version of that,
kind of like
how Chappelle did
when he did like a skit
on Making the Band
back in the day.
But,
yeah,
we had contestants
stay in there for seven days.
They competed for $50,000.
And you come out of pocket
to do that stuff,
right?
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
man,
but,
you know.
Nah, we had companies help us.
We had Raising Cane's put up the $50,000 for the contestants to win.
You serious?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I swear.
And we had Nike participating and putting in some money, PrizePix, Icebox Jewelry putting in some money too as well, yeah.
Nice, shout out to Icebox Jewelry.
So, I mean, I see you putting it out on YouTube and some people would ask why but if you getting your own sponsors
You making your own money like why chase behind these networks in the screaming service?
Yeah, Connor cuz it's like
They we tried to pitch it to all these big networks anyway, and nobody believed it. They were like, yeah
Well, this could be records
Yeah, it's a lot of you know, them older executives and don't really know they're not really hip and they just like we we heard this guy's funny but we don't know what the hell could
have been records is you know so every time i tried to explain it nobody understood what i was
talking about so i'm like damn we just we probably had to do this ourself we went to every meeting
i'm talking i'm taking zooms it's taking an hour i'm explaining for like an hour breaking it down
we got a powerpoint i'm pointing that stuff i'm making them laugh so i'm like oh we we got this
nobody believe they all like,
nah, we'll pass. We'll pass. That's one of your most popular
sketches, huh? Yeah, I know.
We got proof of concept. I'm like, let's do
reviews. We get millions
of views. But you know, they
you know, they, you know. What happened with
the show with you and Kevin Hart? Oh, man.
They took that off,
man. We were supposed to do that.
Writer's Strike. Writer's to do that. Writer's Strike?
Writer's Strike.
So during Writer's Strike, they took that down, man.
They just got rid of it.
I don't know what the real, real reason was,
but yeah, it was a show based on past high school,
being a high school senior.
And yeah, I came on there and talked about it with y'all.
But yeah, I really don't know the full reason,
but they took that off, man. I don't know damn yeah loki pissed me off a little bit but yeah
just because you know i i don't i really don't know the full writer's strike reason you know
i'm saying so and i feel like nobody fully knew exactly what was going on with writer's strike
and all that so i think uh yeah they might have used that as an excuse i really don't know but
yeah yeah we we we had everything rolling but you know i think about you with sketch right and i think
about you know because i was born in 1978 so i've seen a lot of great sketch shows and living color
chapelle show get gas and we start talking about time
but i think about it because you are very good at it right yeah do you think you need a tv show
to validate you to where people start talking about you in that way like they talk about the
key and the pills the chapelles they're in living colors um not not really i think because social
media is so powerful now bro like without social media and um i'm sure she knows this too as well like social media is
might be bigger than tv now like it used to be the goal like oh we're gonna get the tv we're gonna do
this big thing but it's like when you really think about it majority of the stars right now are like
the social media people we even got twitch streamers who are making bigger bags than
rappers that's what i'm saying like and
hayden ross these these dudes are really making a lot of money they're paying the rappers
like real show fees to come onto their stream so it's like i don't know this is different days but
i think that that's what made me think i don't really need anything to justify anything because
it's like damn we doing it now like i will pull up to a city and say we're doing could have been records tomorrow and thousands of people are out there just lined up trying to audition so it's
like that's really the goal for all right we got more with drewski when we come back don't move
it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club morning everybody is dj mb just hilarious
charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking with drewski charlamagne you know i want to ask The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Drewski. Charlamagne?
You know, I wanted to ask you about Could It Be In Records. Like, you talk
a lot about the 360 deals and the bad contracts.
Do you actually talk to artists about that? Is that what you say?
Yeah, hell yeah. I like to tell people straight up,
we gonna f*** you over. That's why I said
I was inspired by P. Diddy. That's what I was
talking about. Why
the f*** do y'all keep looking at me like that?
When I say that, I'm saying that
I'm inspired by the way he
was talking to his people well i ain't say that i say that i like the way that he was talking to
the people at his label on the show you know like yeah so that's the same way we do our business
yeah yeah we tell you straight up yeah if you know you getting f***ed over from jump, what the problem is?
You can't, yeah.
You knew the contract when you got in here.
That's true.
You knew what it was.
By the way, that's true even if you don't tell him that because then he can read it.
Yeah.
Go get you a lawyer, read the contract.
Nah, nah, nah.
They can't all read though, don't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They can't all read.
Yeah.
Yeah, somebody that was dyslexic that was recently on the show.
You know them.
Okay.
Okay, his brother can't read either.
I'm listening. He lost his space right now.
I'm waiting on you.
He like to get you to just keep talking and just run down that rabbit hole
and saying stupid s***.
He like, keep doing it.
Go ahead.
Talk yourself to that hole.
So, Drew's getting his dog.
Hey, I spotted that.
I got to come back and correct myself.

Obviously. You see, you see. Like, I'm trying i'm trying to be serious man i try to get my point across
nah um yeah since i was a kid man i always yeah but i think uh what do you mean even when a kid
when you was a kid they didn't take you serious yeah yeah yeah i think like teachers uh students

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, if you're just joining us, salute to little Rel.
And this is what he said about marriage and the wedding.
We really been planning a marriage.
Like, the wedding, that's easy.
We can do that.
But, like, I want to make sure everything's in order by the time we get into that new place and all that.
That's a great perspective.
I'm not planning for the wedding
i'm planning for the marriage yeah we talking about you combining finances we have seven kids
between us so we need to make sure it's the right home we have you know everything has to be in
order and even just us and communicating yeah uh i love talking to her every day and we talk about
everything you know sometimes we don't agree on a lot of shit, but we talk it out. And I love that shit.
So we asking 800-585-1051.
What are you planning for, the marriage or the wedding?
Let's start with you, Jess.
Well, ever since Lil' Ro said that, I went home and I told Chris, I said, look, plan for the marriage.
What does that mean, though?
Plan for the wedding.
It is exactly what Charlamagne said. And then what you what you said like when you were younger you weren't thinking about it
I mean as a woman you just think about
the fairytale wedding like I know I can't speak
for all women but what I hear a lot
and even myself like
I've always wanted that fairytale wedding
walking down the aisle in front of my friends and family
beautiful dress the kiss that I do
but then after what is it now
so that's just one ceremony you know
what I'm saying like this is, what is it now? So that's just one ceremony. You know what I'm saying? Like, this is us.
This is us becoming one now.
We're joining accounts.
We're joining finances.
We're joining.
Like, I can't think for myself.
Only think about the future for myself.
I have to think about another partner.
Right.
We live in the same house.
Two children.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
So this is literally what you should plan for and that's why i said the
wedding is easy you know if you got money wedding is easy what is it all of it entail after that
but let me ask you a question too you can say that but what about the ring because most women
when they get the ring that ring is expensive and that ring could be something that you use to plan
for your marriage right because those rings be expensive.
Yeah.
They're not no cheap rings.
Diamonds ain't cheap.
So, you know, a lot of people spend a lot of the money on the diamond and then they have to wait to save some more money.
Then they got to plan for the wedding and they got to wait to save some more money.
But by that point, is it planning for the marriage?
Yeah.
And not just financially.
You know, you got to be ready as well.
Yeah.
And then also, because weddings do cost
so much if the if you are ready if you play you do it right you plan for the marriage is the person
worth all the money like you got to think about that because i hear some people they'll be like
yo i spent all that money on a wedding and and we ain't even you know like i shouldn't even have
did all that that's why you should plan for the marriage first and get to know this woman or get to know this man because it doesn't your love shouldn't have a price on it
like if you do it you did it from the heart man my baby worth all this like you know whatever so
you gotta think about it from that perspective too when you plan for marriage that the wedding
is easy and that is easy to to get to pay for that yeah i agree with you too i i think that
you should plan for the marriage,
figure out how you're going to make this thing last longevity,
whether it's, like you said, finances,
or we're going to therapy together
to make sure that we know how to keep this marriage
in a place where we both respect each other,
we both keep it sexy,
we both know the business of marriage
and make sure that it's a successful marriage.
But I think, like you said, when you're younger,
you plan for that wedding. Like, I wanted to give my wife that fairy tale wedding that she
wanted and i'm sure she wanted that fairy tale wedding i don't think we plan for the marriage
at all when you're younger i think you just you really just thinking about okay i'm gonna get
married what does that mean correct you know what i'm saying it sounds good the wedding and all of
that but then what does it actually mean to be married? Personally and business wise.
No, you're right.
I remember when I got married
after the wedding
I went on a honeymoon
and then I lived
with Gia's mother.
Right, right.
We got married
spent all this money
on a ring.
Where'd y'all go for a honeymoon?
Miami?
Huh?
Where'd y'all go for a honeymoon?
Why you say Miami?
Because y'all was younger.
I'm just asking.
We went on a cruise, sir.
We went on a cruise.
A cruise, sir. That left from Miami? Say no. I'm telling asking What y'all doing We went on a cruise sir We went on a cruise Cruise sir
That left from Miami
Say no
I'm telling you
From Miami
From New York to Miami
From the West Side Highway
To Miami
Let's go through the phone lines
Hello
Who's this
Hey MB
Hey Uncle Sharla
Hey Jess
Hey girl
From Virginia Beach
Hey 757
Good morning
Good morning
It says you're getting Married next says you're getting married next week i am
getting married next week congratulations planned our marriage and not our wedding we're having a
very small intimate little ceremony but we have talked way more about our marriage than we did
our wedding what is planning for a marriage look Well, we talked about how we're filing taxes and how we're combining finances.
And between the both of us, we have four kids.
So it's how we're parenting each other's kids.
And they all live with us.
So that's how we are planning for our future.
Instead of, you know, the day is, you know, a day to remember forever.
However, I'm spending the rest of my life with this person.
So I'd rather plan the rest of my life than the one day.
I love it.
I love that.
Thank you, Mama.
Hello, who's this?
I'm going to go with Anonymous.
Uh-oh, that means the wedding didn't work out.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, definitely not.
I agree with Lil Rel.
Once you're out of the hypothetical of what we're going to do when we get married, when we get married,
my ex, she just wanted to live in the fanfare and the pageantry.
And I wanted to go back to premarital counseling.
I wanted to plan the future.
I set up the joint bank account.
And she just wasn't moving accordingly, so I canceled the wedding.
Okay, you saw it before it even got there there because how it starts is how it ends absolutely yeah you know it's like she didn't want to put she didn't want to put equal amount
of work into the future we were on the hypothetical like yeah you know the whole time you're dating
and there's always a conversation oh let's do this when we get married. Oh, I'm going to be like this.
I'm going to be like that.
Well, the ring is on.
It's time to start planning that.
You know what I mean?
You're right.
Okay.
Well, thank you, brother.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is Fatima from Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Hey, Fatima.
Talk to us about planning a wedding versus planning the marriage.
So one of the things that we always talk about is the fact that you're going to be with this
person for the rest of your life.
So the marriage is great.
The wedding is nice, but love is not everything.
And I say that by saying, do you like this person, right?
Can you be with this person for the rest of your life?
Can you combine finances like little girl was talking about?
And also think about
you're also marrying
this person's family, right?
So a combination of both,
you have to plan for the future
from finances,
sickness and health,
like everything that you can think about
because marriage is not easy.
It's work.
People think it's fun and games
until some real-h really happens.
Can you be there for that person and
have that faith in that person that that person's going to be
there for you as well? That's real.
That's real. Thank you, mama.
What's the moral to the story,
guys, if there's a moral? Plan for your marriage.
That's what we're trying to tell
you this morning. Plan for your marriage. The wedding,
the ceremony is great. That's cute, but that's
really just the moment in time. The marriage should be forever. That's cute. But that's really just the moment in time.
The marriage should be forever.
That's right.
I can't wait to hear a little big head get married.
Yeah, I can't wait.
But you know what?
I can.
You know, because, yeah, planning for a marriage now.
Yeah.
Because you also got to make sure people mental state is right, too.
Like, yo, some of the phone calls that i get up here for
justice my mess remember we had that one caller where she was like she didn't know she married
her husband and when he left her i mean when she left him for cheating he killed himself because
he felt like i remember that he you know he couldn't have you know he couldn't deal with
losing her but that went back to something he was dealing with Way before even meeting her Like you know what I'm saying
So you just gotta
Therapy, mental evaluations
All that
You gotta know who you are becoming one with
That's real
Because we're having all these conversations about financial
But you really gotta go do the work on yourself man
Both partners
But being holy matrimony with a person
And do it together as well
Lord have mercy
Talk about you gonna be with this person forever until they get triggered by your fart
and then oh my god you know i'm saying y'all in the bed together and you you fought on the person
by accident not realizing that happened to him in jail and some crazy stuff happened after that
because when a man farts around another man that's flirting you don't even understand why that
happened now he's bugging out and you don't realize why. See, that's personal.
Like,
when he throw them
little scenarios at me,
I'm like,
okay,
Charlamagne Vickie so much
and that's why he is
a mental health advocate
because he's still
working through some things.
Yes, I am.
That's why he pulled out
his pants when he fought.
I hate a little fuck though.
I don't fart in my clothes.
See,
he pulled out his pants
when he fought.
Yeah,
like,
I hate a little fuck,
especially with the Mexican fucks
because they eat a lot of,
no,
never mind. her boyfriend is Mexican
and black
but his eating habits
are very
Mexican
yeah
and so you know
I hate a little Mexican fudge
a little rice and beans
rip hitting it
yeah like
you know with the queso
and all that
I'd be like nah
yeah
yo
it's the breakfast club
good morning
the breakfast club I'll be like, no. Yeah. Yo. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
We got some special guests in the building.
We have Kim Osorio.
The legendary.
The legendary Kim Osorio.
Welcome, Kim.
Good morning.
And also Malik Moody.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Thank you. How you feeling?
Now, they have a new documentary, Tale of the Tape.
I'm about to say we.
Tale of the Tape, how the mixtape revolutionized hip-hop, which I'm an executive producer on
as well.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Did I mess up the whole thing?
That's all right.
You're good.
Thanks for having us.
Why do they still call them mixtapes?
Do they still call them mixtapes?
That's the question.
Even to this day, there's no mixing.
They're not on tapes.
It's mixed shows now. Now it's them mixtapes that's the question even to this day there's no mixing they're not on tapes it's mixed shows now now it's mixed shows yeah that's true well they weren't mixing back then but it talks about the i guess how the mixtape game and how the mixtape
started so it starts from the beginning from brucey b dj and parties and how people started
and how it became so popular so before we get into that let's let's tell people who you are. Let's start with you, Kim. Okay. It all started in the Bronx when I fell in love with hip hop.
Now, yeah, you know, a lot of people know me from The Source magazine.
So I was the former editor-in-chief of The Source magazine.
But today I work primarily in television, right?
Producing passion projects such as this one, but also a lot of projects that you're familiar with.
People know me today from the Impact New York, loving hip hop, growing up hip-hop you know your favorite reality shows that's right
emily oh man i'm a director producer uh owner operator of red summer tv i've been in the game
a long time telling stories used to work at every platform produced for rap city 106 etc but now i
do everything through my company.
And was happy to have Kim come aboard for this project.
Now let's break down the tale of the tape.
What made you guys want to do the tale of the tape?
Kim, I didn't think you were a DJ.
First of all, don't play with me.
You know I used to have turntables, right?
Did you?
Yes.
I sold them.
I needed to sell them at one Christmas back in the 90s that I didn't have any money to buy gifts.
I sold my turntables and I still regret it.
Why you want to do that? You really think I can't DJ?
Watch for the pulse, right?
No, like I love DJing.
I'm a huge fan.
You don't even know that?
I know.
First of all, I was the first person that ever put you in the source, man.
That is factual.
Right?
That is factual. They brought a very young DJ envy to me and said, this was the first person that ever put you in the Source magazine. That is factual. Right? That is factual.
They brought a very young DJ Envy to me and said, this is the next guy.
And I was like, oh, look at this beige person.
He must be my brother.
And I said, let me put.
And we followed your career at the Source back then, right?
Supported.
But, you know, I think that during that time, right, DJing, it was such an important part of the culture.
I'm not saying it isn't now.
It's just that it doesn't get as much shine.
Correct.
Right.
So I feel like it's our responsibility to do that.
So I'm a huge fan of DJing.
Like, I've always been, like, I'm the type of person that sends playlists to people.
Like, if you're, like, really close to me, you know that about me.
You know what I'm saying?
CMV, you strayed away over the years
you ain't want to call nobody so i don't send you my playlist but i'm that i build playlists and i
think that like that's almost like the new mixtape right when we think about it but i just love music
i love dj culture and so it was a project that i wanted to get down with now you guys started this
project years ago many years ago yeah you could tell from j cole doesn't have uh dreads in there neither
does kendrick i don't think you got any facial i definitely don't have beard i don't have the
products all the products that they use now weren't out back then
that joe got the rewind pin now you know that wasn't around when y'all probably started this
so so you know why did it take so long to actually get it out? Like Kim said, this was a passion project, right?
Self-funded.
You know, it started because of, you know, me being a storyteller.
Everywhere I went, you know, interviewing and documenting, whether it was artists, whether it was DJs, the connective tissue was always the mixtape.
You know, that's how everybody either got their start in some way, shape, form or fashion.
And I was was like we have
to tell this story so a lot of some of those interviews were on the back end of certain
certain certain production you know what i mean and yeah so you know we're very happy that you
know we were able to like fully craft into the story that it is now watching this uh you know
you realize that bruce cb was kind of the creator of the mixtape he doesn't get a lot of the uh
the accolades and shine as he should so how was talking to bruce cb if you don't know who bruce cb was kind of the creator of the mixtape he doesn't get a lot of the uh the
accolades and shine as he should so how was talking to bruce cb if you don't know who bruce cb was he
was uh dj i don't know if he's from harlem in the bronx i think he is from harlem right yeah so so
talk about bruce cb and how it how it how it was created i mean first of all shout out to bruce cb
he was you know really really inviting i i just got his number through a friend, gave him a call and said, look, I want to do your interview.
Who, what time and where?
His story is so dope because, you know, he was that guy from the rooftop, right?
That legendary club, which I guess like, you know, what the tunnel was for us, something like that.
But it was a painstaking process to like actually record his um and then spend the whole week duplicating
them one by one by one right and then selling them that next week the only other way to make
you know ways he was making extra money was like hustler dude saying yo can you shout my name out
he's charging extra for that you know and it's just dope as we we follow it in a linear process
so we get to like you know you including you guys are dvds and shrink rap and whatnot so
it was you know it was dope to see now i noticed ron g wasn't on the project that's correct what
what happened with ron g ron had some scheduling issues i'll say that um but you know we couldn't
not talk about you know um ron g is an integral part of mixtape culture um you know i went to the national
treasure morgan state he used to come down and battle with him and sns we have parties
that's actually where i met you the first time you coming through morgan going to hampton one
weekend um and we did some business with your mixtapes because i had a mixtape spot back then
and i was going to ask with all those you, what was one thing that you realized that you didn't know?
Like for myself, I didn't know that Swiss Beats actually got his start
by listening to these DJs do intro,
and he wanted to create intros like that,
and that's how he actually got into production.
I didn't know that.
What was one of the things that you guys learned off of watching
or making this that you were like, wow, I didn't know that?
I'll go first.
I think what I learned most interesting was
why Kid Capri exited doing
mixtapes i didn't know it got so high for him i just thought it was a natural transition progression
for him to do you know deaf comedy jam and kind of go you know um more of the business slash
corporate route but you know that wasn't that wasn't necessarily the case because if he was
stuck around doing what he did he ended up like drama i think so absolutely right and i think for me besides the fact of course that i learned that
you was a lot more um controversial spicy it was a lot more spicy in the original interview you know
what i'm saying like you've toned it down a little bit and that's i think that's what you had to do
in mixtape culture right like you had to get out there it was very competitive but I learned a lot about drama situation and how that changed the course of mixed tapes and kind of steered into the mixed
tape I think as the younger community knows it today they don't really understand like how we
viewed mixed tapes back then how you went to the you know 125th street Fordham Road 3rd Avenue to
get the tape if it came out on Friday just to hear all of the new cuts or hear the new blends,
they don't have that same perspective.
And I think the game changed around that time when, you know, the feds raided.
R.I.A.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We got more with the legendary Kim Osorio and also Malik Mohi.
When we come back, don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking with Kim Osorio. we come back 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 with kim osario and also
malik boo he charlamagne what about i haven't seen it just so what about wayne and 50 did y'all speak
to them because there was a period where like you know djs the artists were probably more important
to mix them coaching in the dj you knew we wasn't getting no 50 in this damn documentary.
We said it was self-funded.
We said it was self-funded.
You know what?
Yeah.
And I think part of the reason to have Envy come in and work with us on this documentary was just to have a credible DJ be able to help us shape our narrative and telling the
story and make sure there weren't things that we missed.
Because a lot of that inside stuff, you don't know really what's going on and then you come in with
your cameras and you're trying to interview people and they're not really telling you the full story
so envy was our checks and balances so envy why didn't 50 do the doc because i think what this
doc was mostly based on the djs the actual djs but there was a period where the artists did
shift things and we talk about that a lot in there right right? Like the G-Unit, like how they changed the game, Dipset, right?
And that's where, and that's why, you know, we did get Kendrick.
Kendrick is in there.
Kendrick is in there.
Kendrick's in there.
J. Cole's in there.
J. Cole talks about.
Future's in there.
Yeah.
J. Cole on there talks about how he thought he would never do a mixtape.
He thought it was whack.
And then when he came up here in New York and seen all the DJs doing it, he was like,
I have to do it.
And that was the creation of his mixtape.
That's what blew him up.
Yeah. Like that's what set the foundation forape. That's what blew him up. Yeah.
Like, that's what set
the foundation for him.
That's what he talks about.
Yeah.
So he talks about that.
So now let me ask you,
when it comes to DJs,
who do you guys consider
the Mount Rushmore of DJs?
Mixtape DJs, I should say.
Oh, wow.
Take me out
because I would probably want you
to take me out
because I'm part of the project.
That's four, right?
Brucie B, Kid Capri,
Ron G, and DJ Clue.
What?
That's just what I listen to okay so leave drama off
drama is comes later in my mind like that's much later and you're from the south so that's
different i'm from new york it would for me it would be clue drama ron g and probably kid capri
yeah really yeah i think i definitely kid capri clue drama and go sns wow sns you left
doo-wop off and you said that that was your favorite mixtape 95 live is my favorite yeah
wasn't that ronji and doo-wop 95 live it was just doo-wop okay yeah i see it's bad because a lot of
people forget brucey b right they forget what brucey b did for mixtape he started so i just
because that brucey b has to be on there right then for me
clue is my mixtape savior he's my god right he's not my dad i said he's my daddy come on man give
him his credit he's not my dad but he's definitely up there uh you can't take away what drama did
like you know i joke with drama all the time. We always talk about who's better, Drama or Clue.
But Drama was one of the people that changed the game when it came to mixtapes.
Like, Clue changed the game how he did it.
But Drama was getting four artist mixtapes, which wasn't done before.
And what he was able to do was, you know, some of these artist mixtapes are better than their actual album.
You know, if you think about what he did with Jeezy, what he did with Wayne, what he did with Gotti, what he did with G-Unit, what he did with Pharrell, what he did with Jeezy what he did with Wayne what he did with Gotti what he did with G-Unit what he did with Pharrell what he did all those
T.I. T.I. especially is is like you can't take that away from drama and then it's like that's
kind of four but you can't forget Kid or Ron you know so it's very difficult right right why y'all
trying to have drama calling my phone like he wasn't on my top four? I was like, you can't take everybody went against me.
I was like, okay.
But you know what?
That was after, I think, my impressionable years of when I was consuming mixtapes.
Right?
So, like, I could see why in my mind I look at really like the forefathers more so of the culture at that time when mixtapes were prevalent.
We broke down a lot of the artists that got their
start from mixtapes right can y'all talk break that down a little bit some of those artists
i mean of course there's g unit and of course there's dip set but joe joe button talks about
how he got his start he talks on integral you and clue word to his career he always says he did it
first he always says he was that but that's just joe right he said no i did it first g unit and dipset copied me but i think those move music uh tapes you know
set the bar for what a lot of the other guys did from the coals kendrick's and especially big sean
yeah i just i'm just glad that people get a chance to see where it actually started from
and when djs really matter and i think the dvs is great I mean you'd have to do French Montana
where he got his start
of course Smack
you know Smack
was my first fight
oh so you can't come
on as executive producer
now we cool now
he beat me up too
he beat me up too
what do you think
Smack beat me up too
really
Troy yeah
salute to Smack
we went to school
with each other
you said shout out to
Jody
salute to Smack
wow Smack was my first fight in elementary school but these are the things Shout out to Jermaine Dirty. Jermaine Dirty. Smack.
Wow.
Smack was my first fight in elementary school.
But these are the things
that we have to document.
And he fought me
in front of my pops, too.
That was the craziest thing.
That's crazy.
You got beat up
in front of your clue?
This is crazy.
Clue, I help you, yo?
Yo.
This is crazy.
I think it's going to be
interesting to see, too,
how DJs got their music.
Like those exclusives that they used to put on their mixtapes.
I always like hearing those stories.
I like hearing how artists used to get really pissed off and used to be hunting the DJs down because of that.
Who Kid talks about that?
He talks about Clue and Envy, how they used to steal.
Who Kid got kidnapped?
Did he talk?
No, he didn't talk about that.
Yeah, he got kidnapped.
Yeah, Pun.
Pun kidnapped him. Yeah, that's crazy. They they said they were gonna book him for a party and
who kid drove up to i think it was the bronx or harlem and uh they told him to come you know
come to the car so we can give you your deposit so his man stayed in the car who kid jumped out
and they threw him in the back and they beat him up beat him up for uh playing an exclusive so that
was one of them but we used to get the exclusive a couple different ways so the biggie exclusive that i got was biggie put his car in
valet and the valet guy took the tape out and sold to me so that's how we got that one yeah
that's what they said another one pray for my downfall wow unmatched it was unmixed unmatched
the uh all the erv gotti exclusives it was uh Irv Gotti's intern. They never paid the interns back then.
You're just blowing them up here, huh?
That's old now.
They never paid the interns.
When Irv used to go to the studio,
what he used to do
is he used to play the dats
back in the day loud in the office
so everybody would hear it.
And the intern took that one.
And then the engineers in the studio.
So all these artists
would be disrespectful to the engineers
and curse at them and yell at them.
So you give them a couple hundred.
Back then it was a couple hundred dollars.
$200 and they'd go get the records. the record and they would leak the record that's
how we got a majority of our records Wow that's an exclusive right there yes so
we get back how could the mixtapes legally be sold if they weren't original
songs it's just awesome art for the day it was it was all illegal even stores
you used to go up in when they promotional use almost that's what i always used to say promotional use only yep really yeah wow it was all illegal
and then they would get bootlegged by the bootleggers so everything was kind of like
they were called wholesalers wholesalers wholesalers and that that was the difference
i would say because when i met envy when he came down he had again his products were shrink wrap
barcoded like somebody was keeping inventory i was impressed i was like you know and you're a because when I met Envy when he came down he had again his products were shrink wrapped bar coded
like somebody was
keeping inventory

and so he would be like
oh Shy yeah yeah
he'd be like
you can't bootleg
my boy's stuff
and so we would just
you know
have to take the hit on that
yeah so yeah
we figured out a way
to do it
but the labels would never complain because for the labels it was promotion for their artists it on that yeah so yeah we we figured out a way to do it but the labels would
never complain because for the labels it was promotion for their artists promotion so they
wanted their artists on the top six songs because it was promotion they wanted their freestyles they
wanted that so they would give you know mixtapes and then we were getting so many rockefeller

Yeah, it's donkey of the day because of the 29 old lakisha woods williams of texas now
lakisha was hit with two charges of child endangerment last thursday after police officers
found her eight-year-old and six-year-old child alone in their high-rise apartment complex now i
know we've heard these stories before parents leave their kids home alone so they can go to work
sometimes the club sometimes to the grocery store real quick
but lakeisha oh she had bigger plans see lakeisha didn't leave for a couple hours no lakeisha
decided she needed to be gone for nearly a week what would cause the woman to leave her kids for
nearly a week let's go to abc 13 i was news report please lakeisha williams williams is accused of
leaving her six-year-old daughter and eight-year-old son home alone at their luxury high-rise in the Memorial City area while she flew to Florida and boarded a cruise to Puerto Rico.
Both juveniles told officers that they had been left alone since April 4th.
The young children were said to be left alone to fend for themselves for at least five days and told deputies they didn't know when their mother was coming home.
The Precinct 5 constable's office responded to Williams' apartment for a welfare check on Tuesday and noted that the apartment was in a state of disarray.
They say it smelled like urine and said it was obvious the children had tried to make
themselves meals.
Court records say police found a phone and a camera that she was using to communicate
with the children while she was using to communicate with the children
while she was gone when deputies tried to contact williams they say she was not cooperative and
changed her story about where she was she was arrested thursday evening it don't matter where
you were like what he was going away from the kids for a week okay why does this remind me of
jay and silent bob remember that what the Excuse me, who's watching these babies?
Uh, the fat one's watching the little one.
Oh, nice parenting.
Lakeisha, as a parent, we all want a
vacation from our kids. Okay, you think
my wife and I don't take vacations, but
we just go and get away from the kids for
a while? Yes. The difference is, we have
babysitters, and nannies, and
grandparents. Adult supervision! Imagine
planning a vacation
okay you packing you're getting your head done some nice protective style like cornrows or
uh faux locs or senegalese twist that's what they call right just i don't know nothing about no
senegalese twist what protective style you be getting faux locs i don't know nothing about
no senegalese twist say she know okay. You get you some nice little outfits from Pretty Little Things, Sheen, Fashion Nova, right, Jess?
Yeah, boy.
Rainbow, maybe.
Rainbow, whoa.
You go get you a manicure, pedicure.
You get you a wax.
You're doing all the things to go on vacation.
Meanwhile, you're just planning to leave your eight and six-year-old at home.
Now, I know people can't afford proper childcare.
I get it. But if you can't afford the vacation and for someone to watch your kids then
maybe you can't afford to go on vacation why don't people think like that forget if you can afford to
cruise can you afford to leave this eight and six year old home alone for a week the answer is no
okay this woman was communicating with the kids via a camera in the apartment and via text message to the 8-year-old.
This whole situation is a prime example of a grandma no longer being in our lives.
Where is big mama?
Where is grandma?
Where is grandma?
Nowadays, grandma might have been on the cruise with us.
Because grandma 49 and the daughter 29 and both of them twerking on Facebook to sexy rate.
Now, both kids were checked by paramedics as well as Child Protective Services
and they both have been removed from the apartment.
And guess what?
Now, they are in care of their aunt.
If they have an aunt that they can be in care of now,
then why in the hell weren't they in care of the aunt
while you was on the cruise?
Maybe the aunt was there too.
Maybe the aunt.
No, that wouldn't be the aunt.
They wouldn't have given them to the aunt then.
Right.
Oh, yeah, you're right the fact
that we can't make sense of any of this is exactly why we must give lakisha the credit she deserves
for being stupid so please let remy ma give lakisha wood williams the biggest hee-haw hee-haw
hee-haw you stupid mother are you dumb you got a little time want to to play a game? Sure. We haven't played a game in a while.

She look younger than that, though.
You think so?
She do, yeah.
She had a hard life, but she's definitely, she looks younger than 29.
Nah, it's just the overbite.
Overbites make you look young, especially when you ain't smiling.
Nah, she do look younger.
She look like she about 24, 25.
She look like she only 20.
You can tell she got her mouth closed, so it's tucked over the overbite.
So it make her look a little younger.
Overbites make you look four or five years younger.
That's a fact.
Yeah.
Well, she looked like she would do it again and again.
Yes, she would.
She tried to set it up right.
She tried to set up the camera.
She probably put mad little ravioli and quick little macaroni cheese in the microwave.
It looked like she still got the protective hairstyle she had on the cruise.
That's what I'm saying.
That's what it's giving.
Because she got arrested right when she got back.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
What is that, Jeff?
That lace front.
That's the lace front.
And it's definitely sitting in the middle.
It's melted down.
So it's definitely leaving sleep for the girls.

Okay.
Now, I know your story because I've been studying you, I've been following you, but for people that don't know, how did Bruce Bruce get into comedy?
And I want you to explain your job before comedy.
Well, you know, I used to be a chef.
I can cook like a mug.
And, you know, everywhere I go, I used to always be funny.
So I hired this guy one time.
I was running a barbecue restaurant. Old guy.
And he said,
he used to watch me in the kitchen when I first started,
when he first started.
He's watching.
He said,
you need to go,
you need to go on stage.
And I ain't paying attention to it.
He said,
I'm going to bring you something tomorrow.
He brought me this album.
You know,
back in the day,
he had an album.
He was a comedian,
but he was ex-navy.
He was an alcoholic.
He said,
don't waste your time on this job,
man.
You need to go on stage.
Know what I did?
I quit because I had a family.
I was young, young man had three kids
and man I went and started working for
Frito Lay Potato Chips selling potato chips
and the whole time I'm selling potato chips and on
the dock I'm just funny acting crazy
so good old white dude say you know you need
to go on stage and I see you here every
morning you know what I got to say you need to go on stage
you funny I look at comedians every
Friday, Saturday night you know and
you ain't gonna stay and when I took that step, man, I knew that's why I should have been my whole entire life.
And what made me take that step?
I was going through a divorce.
And my ex-wife said, you'd never make it.
Why'd she tell you that?
You know what she got?
So I just looked at her and said, I see you on TV.
You know what I'm saying?
And it's been gone.
I've been doing it now 35 years.
Now, you also mentioned that you were an only child.
Only child.
Your father left at the age of five?
Yeah, he was four or five.
He was in the Air Force, and he was a medic in the Air Force, and he flew choppers and airplanes.
And when he got out, he was an anesthesiologist.
Now, was it important to mend that relationship before he passed, or did you?
Yeah, I did.
I did.
Why?
My mother said, I just wanted to know.
I remember him. My mother said, what just wanted to know. I remember him.
My mother said,
what you looking for him for?
You know,
because they'd be mad,
but my mother really ran him off.
You know what I mean?
She ran him off
and she was a monster, man.
You know what I'm saying?
Did your dad say that?
No, I just saw it.

You know what I'm saying?
I'm like, man,

He was really cool, you know?
But she's like,
I don't want it.
You know,
everything he tried to do,
she just knocked it down. nothing but she was listening to a
girlfriend's that's why I try to tell all these young girls don't listen to no
woman it ain't got no man that's right you know said I'm saying if you got a
woman if you got a girlfriend you got a husband she not true the husband but a
woman they don't have a man she can't tell you nothing but he I mean he just
left and he never ever called us ever and my mother didn't know she was
divorced he did a non-contested. And my mother didn't even know she was divorced.
He did a non-contested divorce because my mother just worked, come home, never went anywhere.
So when she said, I think I'm going to get a divorce.
And when she went to do it, they said, you're already divorced.
You're non-contested.
You put it in the newspaper for 30 days.
You don't answer the ad.
Bam, you're divorced.
I did not know that.
He was already gone.

Yeah, he told me.
Paul ain't say nothing.
Everybody had to help him with his lie.
But he was one of the best bakers in the world.
He practically raised Gladys Knight back in the day.
And they used to call him the sweet bread man.
And Gladys Knight knew him.
His name was Paul Henson Jr.
And he went by the sweet bread man because he was the baker in Atlanta, Georgia.
He was the man.
And he'd talk 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 no no i was i was a

say germ motors. We make a little money.
Oh man, that's a good job. I don't care nothing
about no good job. It's about
getting out there, getting it, because it's more than that

Club we still kicking it with Bruce Bruce now I got a question what's the
most difficult city because you're on the road what five days a week
four days a week
seven days a week
shows.
You know every week.
What's the toughest city for you?
I'm going to be honest
I never had a tough city man.
I've had some tough crowds
when the comedy clubs
hold these people hostage.
You know like
let's just say
first show is at seven.
Second show is supposed
to start at ten.
Alright they let
the first show run over
these people
coming to the show
at 10 o'clock
are outside waiting
so now they're pissed
they're pissed
you know
so you got to really
go to work
to make them laugh
you know
or go and
or say something like this
say y'all ever been at work
and didn't want to be there
they be like yeah
that's the way I feel now
you know what I'm saying
so when you break the ice
with them you got them
once you get them
you got them but you get them you got them
but you got to run
the clubs on time
and it's hard dealing
with us as black people
it's hard dealing
with our black people man
but the white clubs
they be on it
bam
because they realize
the money they can make
in the short length of time
you know you just made me
think about when it comes
to doing business
with black people
and white people
because I love doing business
with my people
but I don't think we
often look at it as business.
No, we don't.
It's almost like it should be a personal transaction.
Right.
It's always a hookup.
You want to hook up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.

That's not true because I don't discuss money at all with anybody.
But they always think it's like a partner thing when it should just be business.
That's right.
Do you remember your best show and you remember your worst show?
Yeah, man.
I can remember a lot of them. But people don't know it.
I know it.
I can remember my first.
I come off stage and tell a guy, I didn't like that show.
Well people thought it was great but I'd be like, I didn't like
that show. What was your worst show?
They said you don't write things down
it's just off promotion. Oh no, I come off the cuff. One time I was
in Houston, Texas and
I was doing this show and I was joning everybody out
and this dude came up and joned me.
And he was funny. His buddy said,
man go up there and jone him.
He said I look like a pickle jar. And I started laughing like damn that's funny bro. buddy said, man, go up there, go up there. You know, he would go up there and tell him. He said, I look like a pickle jar.
You know?
And I started laughing,
like,
damn,
that's funny,
bro.
I said,
I'm going to keep that.
You know,
he said,
I look like a pickle jar.
I'm like,
oh my God,
that's funny.
But the crowd loved it
because I took it so well.
I didn't go off,
you know,
it was really funny
when he said it.
And the best show I ever did
was years and years
and years ago
is when Bernie Mac was red hot. Mac super hot and it's a part of
Georgia called Macon Georgia and it's about an hour from Atlanta and Bernie
was performing had a 5,000 seater and the feature didn't show up the guy say
hey man my feature didn't show can you come down and open up for Bernie Mac I
said yes you know I had been in the game there about five years yes and I drove
down there quick as I could and I was on know, I had been in the game there about five years. I said, yes. And I drove down there as quick as I could.
And I was on stage.
And I can remember Bernie Mac had his arm folded looking at me.
He said, who's that dude right there?
I said, it's Bruce Willis.
He said, he is funny.
But Bernie went up and ripped it.
And I worked with Bernie twice in my whole entire life.
Macon and then I worked with him in Columbia, South Carolina one time.
That's it.
But Bernie was a bad dude, man.
And people don't realize, when he did I'm Not Scared of You on Def Jam,
he made that up right then.
Because everybody was coming up, they was having a hard time here in New York.
Def Jam, they was getting it to him.
You know, New York, they don't hold no punches, you know.
And Bernie said, man, I ain't scared of no mother.
And he went up and did it.
Him and Capri went together on it, and he ripped it, man. Wow. Bernie was a bad dude. Was that the funniest comedian you ever worked with? No, man, I ain't scared of no mother. And he went up and did it. Him and Capri went together on it, and he ripped it, man.
Wow.
Bernie was a bad dude.
Was that the funniest comedian you ever worked with?
No, man.
I know some funny comedians now.
Like Tony Robbins is stupid funny.
Tony makes me laugh.
You know who Tony Robbins is?
Of course.
Oh, my God.
Tony Robbins told me he used to date a girl.
Her breath was so bad, it smelled like a horse's hiccups.
So who think of that?
Who think of a horse's hiccups? You know what I of that? Who think of a horse's hiccups?
You know what I'm saying?
He makes me laugh.
Mike Epps.
Mike Epps is one of the dudes I trained back in the day.
Mike used to be on the road with me.
Mike moved from Indiana to Atlanta.
I used to take him on the road with me, and then he moved to New York.
And he called me one day and said, man, they want me to audition for Fridays.
I said, what you waiting on?
I said, looking for somebody like you.
And he called me a week later and said, I got the part.
I said, you're on your way looking for a provider like you and he called me a week later said i got the part i said you're on your way dave that's my man now we've seen uh
kat williams uh pulled out his chopper a couple of months ago he was he was uh firing at everybody

well i think kat just told how he felt man and what's been going on in his life for real and
he just got fed up with it you know when people when people dog you out, let's just say this.
I used to tell people I had a club in Atlanta.
It's called Club 559.
And I used to tell my securities, I said,
Listen, when you have an altercation with a guy, be careful because they don't forget you.
You don't be able to forget about them.
So if you throw them out of the club, throw them on their head,
and they be like, I'm not going to forget that.
They won't forget you. That's right. real but you be i forgot who that was and you
go store with your woman shopping he run up on you you remember me you're like no you have to
be careful so cat just went through some things stuff that he never forgot that was done to him
and he's coming back retaliating and he just told it like it was i mean there's a lot of different
things you could take from that conversation but the thing I took from it that I appreciated, it felt like it put black comedy in a new light.
Yeah.
Like people started paying attention to the OGs like yourself.
Tony Robbins.
Like they, I don't know.
I just felt like it just shined, earthquake, it shined a light on the people who've been doing it.
And people got to understand something about Cat Williams.
Cat Williams is not a dummy.
He is very smart. He is very smart.
He's very smart.
I don't know if y'all remember when he had an altercation in Atlanta with Wanda Smith.
If you ever noticed, he never lost his composure.
He stood there and drunk his coffee, and he was killing her the whole time.
And he's just cool like that.
He's very smart.
He's a smart guy.

Good morning.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Comedian Bruce Bruce is still here.
Charlamagne?
Now, out of Def Comedy Jam, Showtime at the Apollo, and Comic View, which one had the most impact on you?
Comic View.
Def Jam first.
Def Jam was the starting.
Come on now.
We got to give it to Russell Simmons.
I mean, big up for him.
Def Jam was good. But when I did Comic View,
see,
Comic View started out
as Coast to Coast.
I don't know
if y'all remember that.
They used to come out
to your city
and come to a club
and film you
and then take it back
and DL was the host there
and he was like,
look,
went all the way down
to Atlanta
at a club called
the Comedy Act Theater
and we seen this guy
Bruce Bruce
and they showed me
and I did the Coast to Code when they first started,
but I never forget the year that I host.
It was probably the best year for me
that I have ever experienced in my life.
They went from 10,000,
10 million viewers to 20 million viewers when I host,
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 help 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 him because he might get bigger than me.
But you talked about so many comedians you helped.
Oh my God, yeah.
But so many helped me.
I never forget when I first, when I was in the comedy acting in Atlanta and John Witherspoon came to
Atlanta and he looked at me
and he say, you got it.
He say, you really got it. He say,
I like you. So he started telling me what
to do and what not to do.
He took me up on his 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.
And 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.
And I'm like, how's that going to work better?
And it worked better.
And then the last of the Mohicans who really told me, he said, you won't have to find them.
They will find you.
His name was Paul Mooney.
Wow. The legend. Paul Mooney. Wow. The legend.
Paul Mooney. He told me that.
Rodney Winfield. Y'all remember Rodney Winfield?
Mm-hmm. My man took me out.
He said, a lot of these jokers don't like you.
Just because you're funny. He said, keep being funny. You're going to be all right. He just
called me to do shows with him. You know, back
in the day, man, somebody would say, man, we
got a show paying $300. I'm like,
let's go. You know, these new kids now, he say, man, I got a show paying $300 I'm like let's go
you know
these new kids now
you say man
I got a show for you
how much they paying
hold it player
hold it
you ain't been seen
walking by a TV
much less on TV
so what is you talking
about how much they paying
if I tell you about a show
I'm gonna make sure
you get paid
just that simple
you think social media
helped to hurt comedy
oh it helped it
Charlemagne I wish I had
social media 35 years ago
only thing we had was go in the city early do radio try to do TV Social media helped to hurt comedy. Oh, it helped it. Charlemagne, I wish I had social media 35 years ago.
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 ain't been doing comedy for 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're
asking how much right because they follow 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 five but what
about this other 20 minutes they need you to do you can tell when a person is bombing because
they'll 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 to support 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.
Yeah.
They trying to get positive.
That's his favorite 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 bombing. Oh, my God.
If you see me laughing really hard, it's probably because you up there stinking.
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 said,
I never seen you on anything.
I never seen you rap with...
I rap with Snoop.
She got pissed.
They went to commercial.
I think it happened twice.
Am I right?
No, it was just one time.
But do she rap?
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.
It's a commercial.
Commercial.
And she came back.
She was more calm.
Yeah, we're back here.
She wanted me to piss her off.
He said, I never seen you on nothing.
I never seen you with Snoop.
I never seen you too short.
I never seen you.
She was pissed.
I laughed so hard at that.
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
Specials are good
I just got signed
For a Netflix special
Okay
And the reason
I just took it
I wasn't gonna do it
I was gonna do it myself
Like, fit me
Make them buy
You know what I'm saying?
But they offered it to me
We're gonna do it
We're gonna do it
I think around August So They shoot in Atlanta?lanta no no no no we're gonna go somewhere
else i want to go somewhere somebody think i'm a superstar you know i'm just average
i go somewhere like chicago or texas oh my god that's where I want to go. And Atlanta is my city. I love it.
I still live there.
And I had a place in L.A. for like 30 years.
L.A. is just L.A.
They make you pay for the weather.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
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 or having to wear a dress
to get to that next level.
What's your thoughts on that?
Well, you know, I'm going to be honest with you, man.
I did.
It's funny you said that.
I did a TV show that I take one time.
It never came out.
It's called 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 um 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 it do flip wilson
did it when he did geraldine you know because flip wilson show was a variety show which i love
because it wasn't a black show was a show 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.
Than my deal.
When he plays Joe, when he plays Joe, Joe is funny.
Joe have an oxygen tank. smoking weed, coughing, and I say, thank you, Jesus.
You know what I'm saying?
So when he plays Joe, Joe is the funniest dude.
That's just me.
I love my dear.
Yeah, I love my dear.
But Joe is funny, dude.
Oh, my God.
Joe is funny.
And see, back then, when we used to see people in their dresses or even see like when they used
to do men on film on a living color.
It was just funny.
Like I never thought nothing of it.
Men on film was the thing.
Remember when they talked about Moby Dick?
Moby Dick.
That gets two snaps and a kiss and a roundabout.
Remember the twist?
Yeah, the twist.
Yeah.
Why do you have to say your name twice?
I do.
My mommy's called me twice.
My mama said if I call you the third time,
I'm a kid.
So
my mother said,
if I call you three times,
you're going to die today.
And my mother was a little woman,
about 140.
I mean,
she was just,
but 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 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.
That's right.
People think like, well, I got to do it.
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 it's Bruce Bruce we've been trying to get Bruce Bruce up here for a
minute man because you know I've always just respected you as a as a comedy legend man you
