Good morning, it's Jill from Hoboken
How are ya?
Hey, Jill from Hoboken
Peace, Jill
Good morning
Get it off your chest, mama
Um, the Lauryn Hill concert
Can we talk about it?
It was horrible
Don't complain about that woman being late
Cause y'all know what y'all signing up for
When y'all buy the Lauryn Hill ticket. Was she late?
Let me tell you, I should have
read the Ticketmaster reviews because you know
when somebody gets a three star
out of five, you should just know better.
Oh my God. What happened?
So, doors were supposed to open
at 6.30. Didn't open
until 7. Sound check
went until about 7.45.
We didn't get to our seats until 8 7.45. We didn't get to our seats
until 8 o'clock. We weren't allowed.
Nobody showed up on stage
until 9 o'clock and that was her
DJ. And then I left
at 10 o'clock because some of us have to work
tomorrow and she wasn't out
by then. So you didn't even get to see her?
Nope.
So wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
So the doors open up. It's supposed to be at 6.30, it's 10 o'clock, and she still didn't get on?
Yep, doors open at 6.30.
No, doors were supposed to open at 6.30.
She was supposed to be playing by 7.30.
We didn't get to our seats or were able to go to our seats until like a quarter to eight.
And then nobody showed up until like 9 o'clock for DJ.
She didn't show up on the stage.
Lauryn Hill is Lauryn Hill at this point.
How many years
we been hearing stories
about Lauryn Hill being late?
I don't know why
y'all so late.
But it still gotta be.
I gave her the benefit
of the doubt.
We not about to just
keep saying
this is Lauryn Hill.
So promoters should start
saying the show
start two hours later
than it's supposed to.
Who was our touring manager?
Who was her team?
Oh my God.
That's horrible.
I feel sorry for you mama.
Well somebody call us and tell us what
time she showed up.
And by the way, she
starts showing up on
time if y'all stop
going to the shows.
If y'all keep buying
tickets and selling
out shows, why should
she show up on time?
There's no incentive
for her to.
All I got to say is
at least I'm happy I
didn't pay those $500
for those tickets with
people down on the
floor.
I paid my little $79
and we'll call it a
day.
I spent money on worse. Damn. You right. I know that's right. That's a good way to look at it. I paid my little $79. I will call it a day. I spent money on words.
Damn. You right. I know that's right.
That's a good way to look at it. Have a great day at work today.
Have a good one, mama. Thank you.

tried to get my money back. Well, let me ask you a question.
So, the
snowblower actually came to your house?
It was a picture that was at my house, yeah.
Yeah, that ain't Home Depot fault, bro.
That's somebody else fault. It might be the delivery people.
It might be a neighbor.

Yeah, somebody stole my snow, bro.
I'm just out of money.
Damn, you just out of goddamn money.

It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a legend and icon in the building.
I got to spell it out.
M-E-T-H-O-D.
Yeah.
When do they stand in interviews?
It's all love. Yeah, you know what I'm-D. When do they stand in interviews? It's all love.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
When do they be here in interviews?
Oh, you ain't got no change?
She said she ain't got no change.
Yes.
Yes.
So, Charlamagne, we were having a conversation before you walked in.
Yes, sir.
We were talking about, you know, our annuals and going to the doctor and this, that, and the other.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, I was telling, you know, we were talking about colonoscopy.
Got one.
And the ladies in the room was like, yeah, they put you out.
And I'm like, yeah, it was one of the best sleeps ever.
Right?
It's the same stuff they give Michael Jackson.
They tell you that before they do it.
That's exactly what they said.
I didn't want to say their names, but shout out to Trey Watt.
But, like I said, they put you to sleep.
They never put me to sleep.
Right.
Impossible.
Right.
Because I didn't know what the subject was.
He never got a colonoscopy.
He got a prostate exam.
Got you, got you, got you. Yeah. I don't think I've had a prostate exam. You had a prostate matter was. He never got a colonoscopy. He got a prostate exam. I got you, got you, got you.
I don't think I've had a prostate exam.
You got a prostate exam.
I had the colonoscopy.
The two fingers.
You had a prostate.
As a black man, we're most acceptable to prostate cancer.
I mean, I got mine checked the first time at 44.
You're supposed to wait until you're 50, 45, 50.
No, it's 45 now to get a colonoscopy.
You got to go get a colonoscopy.
No, it was 50, it was 50. They just changed it to 45. It's 45. You got to get a colonoscopy. You got to go get a colonoscopy. No, it was 50. It was 50.
They just changed it to 45.
You got to get a colonoscopy.
That's where they stick the tube up your butt.
All right.
And they look around for any polyps.
Ah.
So for the uninformed, it's basically to make sure you don't have cancerous tumors.
That's right.
Correct.
Because if they catch it early, it can save you.
You know, you don't have to go for another 10 years.
So they know that you're free of cancer for 10 years. let's say if you don't what are the symptoms of you might
not have a symptom but yeah i mean the people that i've known that have lost their lives to it rest
in peace my man combat jack he by the time he went he was stage four right but he did say he thought
that his stomach was getting bigger but he said he thought it was because he was drinking and he
wasn't eating he's bloated it could be he was drinking and he wasn't eating. He's bloated.
It could be blood in your stool.
It could be a bunch of different things.
Sorry to talk about it today, but we got to make sure you go to the doctor.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
But you can get blood in your stool from straining too hard.
Right?
Correct.
I never got blood in my stool. To be honest.
I haven't personally.
I don't know.
I can't believe we're having a conversation with Mef about health when he is absolutely positively probably.
Catching all of us in here.
If not the most healthiest person
in hip hop.
But now I'm informed
about getting a colonoscopy.
I have to,
well, I'm not going
to look into it.
I have to get it done.
Absolutely.
All right, well,
that's something
I have to do.
When did you get so heavy
in the workout game?
I've been watching you
for years on Instagram,
but like,
what made you do it and when?
It's been about
10, 11 years now.
I don't know.
It was more or less,
it started with insomnia for
me and i had a membership but i never really used it i would go sporadically you know here and there
on and off unlike a lot of people do but something just clicked in me and said you know what let's go
let's go see what's up with the gym it was about four in the morning i was having all this insomnia
and it was open so i started going i had I had already had, like, my own program that I was following
that my trainer had gave me previously.
So, you know, one, three days started turning into four days,
and four days turned into a month,
and months turned into, you know, years.
And my journey's been pretty good, man.
I had some good people around me helping me along the way as well.
Did you slow down smoking at all?
No.
I wonder about that, because you were always the OG weed guy.
And, you know, like you, Snoop Redd.
Yeah.
I mean, that's a nice little lane to be in and stuff.
But I always said I had so much more to offer and I would hate to be just identified as just the weed guy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, I mean, I think I've done
a pretty decent job for that.
No, that's an understanding.
Absolutely.
It's interesting
because they got
the BET's greatest
rap crews
of all time.
Right.
Right.
Humble.
They got Wu-Tang
versus Death Row.
I'm not disrespecting Death Row
in a way to perform
my love of Death Row
and everything that they represented.
I just don't know
how it came down
to Wu and Death Row.
Death Row is not a rap crew to me.
For me, it's Wu and OutKast.
That's the greatest rap group of all time.
But Death Row is not a rap group to me.
They're not a rap crew.
No, they're a crew.
They're a label.
Yeah, they're a label.
And I think that's what they judged a lot of it based on as well.
I mean, you got to really think about it.
Those are groups, you know, Death Row.
But it was groups within groups, with a wu-tang clan
especially with the way we came in the game as a group with the option to sign a solo artist so
yeah it kind of makes sense and i'm just humbled and honored and in the same breath because you
know death row they were out what three years before we even dropped about three years before
we even dropped and we had heard nothing like that before from the west coast. I mean, I was a big NWA fan, you know,
but other than that, everything else kind of slipped through the cracks.
Even MC Hammer, you know, for a minute,
he even slipped through the cracks
because we didn't really gravitate to Hammer like that.
He even knew it, you know.
It was more or less like, you ain't hitting in New York, Hammer.
I'm going to turn this mother out, and he turned this mother out.
He did exactly that.
But, I mean, to be up against those guys it's honor because like i said they they put it
down like i had never heard anything like snoop or corrupt dad's rage any of them you know that um
what was it uh stranded on death row was the record that was the first thing that i heard
from them and i was like who in the this dr from nwa wow how did you develop that relationship
because you had that relationship with them
because you was on Mind Made Up with Pop.
Yeah.
That was weird
because it was because I had a relationship
with Snoop and Dog Pound.
I mean, I had Snoop in my forerunner, Uptown.
Wow.
You know what I mean?
We went to the gate
and I swear on everything I love,
each time I ever went there to Dre,
I put my money through the slot
and he gave me the weed
and I bring Snoop he opened the door
I'm dead serious no can vouch for this. Let us in yeah babies running around. I've never been in this gate before like oh
So this is what it's like well. Yeah, well this is doggy. Oh yeah, yeah doggy style snoop
Wow, so 800,000 one week and another Wow and the snoop was in the hood in Harlem
Yeah, no security.
Dog pound was with us, too.
Before the beef, though, what the so-called East Coast West Coast.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, it wasn't really no.
We know.
Those who are informed know it wasn't.
But the funny shit was when we get back in the car, corrupt look at this shit.
It was like, yo, cuz, this shit.
This shit got sticks and seeds in the car.
They ain't know about that choco. They ain't know about that choco.
They ain't know about that chocolate and shit.
There probably was some whack weed now that I think about it and shit.
Yeah, you know.
All right, we'll be back with more Method Man.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club on BET.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it
With Method Man
I was gonna ask you
Did you ever get to that
I call it the uh-oh phase
Like everything is good
And then it's like uh-oh
Yeah
Yeah
A lot of times
Really?
Yeah
I feel like you
Would have saved more money
Than most
Because you've never
Presented that lifestyle
Never was flashy
Never the jewelry
Never the car
Or he had a catalog
That could always
Put him back where he needed to be
I could always get a show Right You know what I mean it's just a fact of wanting to get up and
go do it and motivation when you feel unmotivated and depression things of that nature plus
you're not feeling as worthy as you were as you felt back in the past, it wears on you, takes a toll on you.
Then you become recluse.
Hey, guys, I'm Kate Max.
You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs and more.

Well, that's when the real magic happens.
So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire,
join me every week for Post Run High.
It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all.
It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.

Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.
Flash, slam, another one gone.
Bash, bam, another one gone.
The crack of the bat and another one gone.
The tip of the cap, there's another one gone.
Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history,
like this one about Claudette Colvin,
a 15-year-old girl in Alabama
who refused to give up her seat on the city bus from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who
refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the
same thing.
Check it.
And it began with me.
Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin.
Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro, host of the hit podcast, Family Secrets.
How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time,
he didn't even say hello?
And how would you feel if your doctor advised you
to keep your life-altering medical procedure a secret from everyone?
And what if your past itself was a secret
and the time had suddenly come to share that past with your child. These are just
a few of the powerful and profound questions we'll be asking on our 11th season of Family Secrets.
Some of you have been with us since season one, and others are just tuning in. Whatever the case,
and wherever you are, thank you for being part of our Family Secrets family, where every week we explore the secrets that are kept from us, the secrets we keep from others, and the secrets we keep from ourselves.

You bother with anybody, but the bills still come.
You still got to go out.
So you do just got to go out.
So you do just enough to get by.
Certain things catch up.
I had a tax thing going on as well.
High-risk don't play?
Yeah, they don't.
Crazy number?
No, not even.
Not like some of these people, no.
Like I said, I always lived a modest lifestyle.
Still to this day, I live a modest lifestyle.
So, I mean, I can't, it's hard for me to describe because I'm still in that space where it's,
why do I got to give these a** my money?
No, I feel you. You ain't got to.
I get it.
You know?
I'm just saying.
But I know, yeah, and I don't know, man.
I leave that.
They listen, so yeah, that's good.
I leave that shit.
They listen.
When did you realize, when did you say to yourself, yo, it's me, I'm miserable?
I knew that back then.
Really?
Yeah, I knew it.
I just didn't want to accept it, you know?
People would say, well, what made you miserable?
You had, it seemed like you had everything.
You had success.
You had the money.
You had the life.
It seems like you had everything. I didn you had the money you had the life it seems like you had everything i didn't respect i didn't respect
anything and with that being said i didn't think anybody respected me so i just wanted to go away
and work on some things and it like i said it worked out for me man i'm not suggesting everybody
do what i did or everybody can do what i did because honestly I can fall back on a group
that's iconic at any point in time so there's always gonna be a bag there for
me but the point is it's satisfying enough for me to want to go back hmm
what could I do to advance myself I think I'm doing a pretty good job of it
man I'm happy and I think it's resonating and people see it, you know? What the f*** are they calling me, Zaddy, at 52 years old?
What is that s***?
What the f*** is that?
That's a good thing, man.
That's a good thing.
What she say, she say, they call me Fine AF.
I'm going, Fine AF?
What's Fine AF?
Air Force s***.
Air Force.
So what got you into the movie and the acting?
I'm not doing that s***. so what got you into the into the uh the movie and the acting and when you do have to get into
it but do you feel a way when you have to audition because you are such a celebrity
and star people know who you are no there's never ego that's one thing i never had it was the ego
i do i don't like auditions i don't know anybody that really does but you i appreciate them um
is this hey i mean i i i would suggest that anybody that's because i get people in the music
game all day i'm getting active i would tell them all the same thing do the work take the classes
read the books because when you step on that set your next look got to be your best look or they
will not call your ass back and when those people break bread in hollywood they break bread please believe it yes sir me man i'm like like i said one day at a time and i'm just
gonna ride it till the wheels fall off what's been your favorite role right now the davis role
the davis role nobody seen it coming nobody expected that you know and sometimes sometimes
i look at the dialogue we get the scripts and I'll look and I'm like,
go right to my point.
I look and it's like,
a lot of dialogue here.
A lot of jargon.
But I,
I,
I,
I credit the writers
for,
you know,
giving us something
that fits the palette
enough that we can digest it
and then make sense of it
every time.
So,
pretty easy.
My favorite meme is
when they do
your high, high character
and they be like
Yeah, that was pretty
Yeah, yeah.
Got you as Davis.
That was fairly new
right there.
I like the one
I never miss.
I like that one
because I never miss.
Why the hell
did they replace
Redman with
like as your brother?
Yeah.
He wouldn't get the jab.
Oh, wow, wow.
Okay.
At least that's what I heard.
Yeah, yeah.
You know?
Did I talk to Redman about it?
No.
We ain't.
We ain't.
Close, close.
We don't.
Like, like that don't even need to be said.
You know what I'm saying?
But it happens.
He's not the first or the last person that it probably happened to.
He made a decision.
And I stick by whatever his decision was I feel that was best for him I agree with him you know what I love man and I don't know how you feel
about this I feel like there's no group in hip-hop documenting their story in
history better than Wu-Tang and what I mean by that is y'all got the television
series yeah y'all got books yeah I. Yeah. Y'all got books. Yeah.
Y'all had the documentary on Showtime.
That's RZA.
Do you feel like the story's being told properly?
That's RZA.
I mean, it's from his perspective.
So it's being properly told through his lens.
You know, of course we all have our own interpretation of how shit should be or how shit should go.
But what you have is what you got.
And I'm going to stick by him. That's my dog. I always wonder what you have is what you got and um i'm gonna stick by him
that's my dog i always wonder what the conversations are like between you and mary on set man me and
mary be laughing mary's funny as hell y'all wouldn't know it though do y'all reminisce or
y'all live in the now like because y'all got it both both okay okay okay both mary cool as hell
you know um she's a queen she demands respect and shit. You know, she the f***ing queen.
She demands respect and she gonna get it.
And she deserves it.
Yeah.
I do wonder about the bond that people have when they make a hit record though.
What you mean?
I guess because y'all are like kind of married for life.
Mary made me feel comfortable first when I first met her.
I met at Puffy's birthday party.
I think it was Roseland.
Remember Roseland?
Mm-hmm.
Roseland Ballroom.
Yeah. She came up to me and was like, bring the paint with my s***. I think it was Roseland. When I, remember Roseland? Mm-hmm. Roseland Ballroom. Yeah.
She came up to me and was like,
bring the pain with my shit.
Like, wow,
Mary J. Plotkin.
And I had to tell her
that Love No Limit
was my shit
and I started singing it
to her a little bit.
But yeah,
it was dope.
It was dope.
Next thing I know,
he was in the studio
recording and she,
yes.
Did Puff set that up?
Puff.
Puffy.
Shout out to Puff Daddy.
Diddy, man.
Diddy.
Love that dude, man.
Like, people don't...
What they do, they do.
They give them his props.

Sean Malini
The guy we are
The Breakfast Club
Jess Hilarious is here
Our co-host
Yes
Now if you just joined us
We're talking about
Some of the worst jobs
We've ever had
Or the worst jobs
You've ever had
Now
Did you work at a mall?
She lied
I went in there.
You went in there?
Stop lying.
I did go in there.
All right, whatever.
Look, so I went to college for mortuary science,
and when it came time to do the clinicals or whatever,
we had to go in, and we had to perform the embalming.
And I got scared, and so that was it.
That was my last day.
That was my first and last time in a morgue.
So, no, I never was employed by a morgue.
I did tell
shall we I worked there for some time but I was trying to see you know you
ain't tell me you told the world I saw you doing an interview or something I
like oh that's cool as hell just used to work at more trade only to come to find
out you're lying yeah but that's that was the interview that I think was gonna
make it no way because you know it's like a small time yeah and I was like
damn yeah now Solomon you work to talk about for like a week and then your
sister fired you, right?
Yeah, my sister fired me after like
seven days.
Wow.
I worked at a...
Wow.
Isn't that crazy?
That's crazy.
Your own sister fired you.
I don't think there's
any such thing
as a worse job.
I think any honest living,
anything that, you know,
is putting food on your table,
putting some money
in your pocket,
is cool.
It may be a job
you don't like.
There's plenty of jobs
you don't like,
but there's no such thing
as a worse job
because those jobs
we call in the worst, there's some people out there that would cut their toe off to get more. But that don't like. There's plenty of jobs you don't like, but there's no such thing as a worse job because those jobs we call in the worst,
there's some people out there
that would cut their toe off
to get more out.
But that don't mean
that it's not a worse job
just because some people
would cut their toe off.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
I didn't like it.
I hated working at Taco Bell.
It's like I hated
working at that factory.
It's like I hated
working at the Flower Garden
in Montecon,
South Carolina.
I hated all of that.
Like factory workers.
Like they got to sweat
all day for pennies.
They used to make me
sit outside.
Every single one of those jobs, all of those supervisors told me that I didn't belong there.
Every single one.
Gail, I'll never forget Gail.
Her name was Gail Cobb.
It was an industrial acoustics company.
She said, we are moving in another direction.
You just don't fit in here.
Yeah.
You had the eyes.
You had that other face.
That was the first face.
Oh my God.
Young struggle face for sure.
Mine wasn't too bad.
Like I said, I did telemarketer.
But I remember my wife, she sold mattresses.
And she had to go to, in the projects and sell mattress in the projects.
So she would have to go from door to door.
It was crazy.
It was definitely crazy.
Who is buying mattresses?
You can find a mattress in the projects.
That's right.
She was selling box springs in the projects.
She would go in the projects and me or her mother would wait out downstairs.
That's the way we made money back then.
With air mattresses?
No, regular mattresses.
You used to make her go hustle mattresses for you?
I didn't make her go hustle.
I didn't make her go hustle.
Oh, because he said he waited in the car and that's how I made her make her money back then.
You definitely said waited in the car.
I was like a protection.
No, you're a liar.
You said you and her mom waited in the car.
That's what you said.
No, she said her mom would take her.
I would take her as protection because she would go in the hood.
She would knock on the doors.
Hey, I got a mattress
from whatever mattress company it is.
She definitely felt safe
with her mother.
Shut up, man.
Oh, it was like a legit company.
Yes.
I was like,
I would never date no man
that would be like,
I'm going to drop you off in the hood
so you can go sell your mattress
because I'll be back
to get you with your car.
What?
She used to sell mattresses?
It was like 17 years old.
18 years old.
And then you made her suffer
for 10 years on one
She said that he didn't make you didn't make his wife orgasm for 10 years from his's in his book? That's in your book? Yes, he put that in his book. Hold on, Shanice.
No, no, no.
I gotta explain it now.
She's not looking at me like a man now.
She's looking at me crazy.
She's looking at me crazy.
I've heard this story a million times.
I've heard this story a million times.
I've never heard it. So when we were first going together,
I was 16, she was 50. When we first started
having sex, I didn't know what I was doing. I used to watch porn and think, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
It didn't work.
Ten years later, my mouth game was good.
Okay.
But just my peeing game wasn't good.
And one time, we got into an argument.
But he keeps bringing it up.
Just look disgusting.
Traumatizing me.
Oh, my God.
Shanice, I'm sorry.
Hey, man, what's going on over there?
Charlamagne bothering me and bugging me and traumatizing me, bringing me back to old stuff.
He wrote it in a book.
What's going on, y'all?
Y'all know this is Shanice today.
What's happening?
Now, Shanice, what is the worst job that you had, mama?
Well, first off, I'm going to say y'all.
Y'all hold music.
Y'all need to get some back home.
But the worst job I had was.
What do you mean?
What?
I'm sorry.
Hold music.
Hold music sucks. The worst job I had, y had one. What do you mean, what? I'm sorry. I hold music. I hold music.
I hold music.
I hold music.
I hold music.
I hold music.
I hold music.
I hold music.
I hold music.
On the one shop I had, y'all, I was selling knives.
I was trying to go door to door selling knives.
Oh, my God.
You too.
Girl, yes.
That Pyramid Scheme company crap.
I remember that.
Girl, yes.
You were sitting in the class.
They really got you thinking that you were going to be the best knife seller in the hood.
I swear.
I thought I was shaft.
If you sell this knife that cuts a penny,
you will win
$1,000
on your next bonus.
Me,
being 19,
I'm like,
oh my God,
I'm about to be rich
by the time I'm 20.
Y'all ain't gonna
have to find out
they were definitely
a Ponzi scheme.
And then I heard
they were trafficking girls.
No.
Oh my God.
I'm not surprised,
but yeah.
Thank you,
Shanice.
I don't think there's no knife sharp enough to cut a penny.
I don't know.
But that's what they used to sell.
It's like they used to, you know them little pyramid schemes, like, you know, massive babies
on them.
They, you know, he had, oh no, that's a seminar.
My bad.
It's still scam, scam, scam.
You are stupid.
But you know, they used to, the knife cutting classes And they make you feel like
You can go out there
And sell them and be rich
And they used to get
All the little young girls
Oh my god
They was sex trafficking people
Because it makes perfect sense
Oh yeah
Because they get the young girls
Yeah everybody
It was a whole bunch of young
We were all young
Like in our teens
Hello who's this?
Good morning
It's your girl Ecstasy
Scupper X
Hey X
What was the worst job
You had mama?
She was a stripper.
Ecstasy.
Oh, gosh.
My worst job was working in a exterminating company.
And one of the guys came back with a tank.
And some of the egg bugs escaped.
And I got attacked.
And I'm allergic to bites.
I found that out the heart rate.
You got bit by a snake?
No, bed bugs.
Oh, bed bugs.
No, bed bugs.
Oh, wow. Damn, so
you were an exterminator and you were allergic to bedbugs?
No, I was working in a
company. I was a salesperson, but, you know, I was
a dispatcher also. One of
the new guys for the tanking,
the bedbugs escaped.
He got fired, but
I got attacked. I was allergic.
I had to go be in a hospital on Benadryl.
Oh, so stripping wasn't her worst job.
Okay.
You did use the strip though, right, man?
Yeah, I would have went to the club too.
No, I did not use the strip.
Oh, hello.
Who's this?
It's Delisa from Jersey.
Hey, Lisa from Jersey.
What's the worst job you got?
So I used to work for a medical answering service where we answer for like doctor's
offices, lawyer's offices, collision centers.
It was just a job.
Thank you.
I had a manager who was a little bit unbalanced and would literally come to work with different
personalities.
I like a little unbalanced.
What does little unbalanced mean?
Like a schizophrenic?
Yeah.
Like.
Bipolar?
I wouldn't say schizophrenic.
If you ever seen the United States of Terror,
Shorty literally had different personalities.
She would come in different names.
She had different habits, different voice and everything.
She used to come as a different person every other day.
Maybe she was a shapeshifter and you didn't appreciate her.
Listen, I would be an unappreciating shapeshifting person then.
Not as my boss.
Okay.
Thank you, mama.
Hello, who's this?
This is Dominique.
Hey, Dominique.
We're talking about some horrible jobs you've had.
I had one work job.
I worked for a closet, like, builder company, like, organization company.
Can't say the name.
But I was fired while I was
eight months pregnant for
asking for my pregnancy.
You were fired eight months pregnant, so you sued them?
Oh, yeah.
Did you win? I did.
And I want to
say something about what you guys were talking about
earlier about, like, baby
daddy brothers. Baby daddy brothers.
Jess Hilarious got one.
Oh my god. I love the conversation but i am a product of that my mom and dad have not been
for about 30 years i'm 35 and they are a they talk every day they're like
they're they're they're very like locked tight.
But she has a wife and everything.
My mom, my dad, and the wife, they travel together.
Not in the same hotel, but they're cool as hell.
Big threesomes.
And see, this is, first of all, grow up.
No.
This is amazing because it's interesting to hear from the child's point of view.
You will be my son one day.
This will be my son one day. This will be my son one day.
Yes, yes.
That's right.
It ain't always been like that.
Right, same.
If I got older, they're like thick as these.
Really good.
Thank you for that.
Thank you, Mama.

What's happening?
Out here.
Thanks.
Thank you, mama.
What's the moral of the story if there's a moral?
I forgot what we was even talking about.
Bad jobs.
Oh, yeah.
They keep going back to me because they want me to be the third host.
But go ahead.
Okay, Big Jeff.
You know what I'm saying?
What's up?
That's why they keep going back to me.
So, yeah, that is.
That's the moral of the story. You can be your baby brother or sister'm saying? What's up? That's why they keep going back to me. So yeah, that is, that's the moral of the story.
You can be your baby
father, brother,
or sister.
What are you talking about?
That's the moral.
Y'all know that's the moral.
I thought you were going
to say something like
respect your job
and take you to
someplace else in life.
Oh yeah, jobs.
That's what we was on.
We was on jobs.
Okay.
Alright, so it's two morals.
So the other moral is you can succeed with a 9 to 5.
Okay, whatever.
All right.
We just winging it.
I told you we had a long night last night.
Jesus Christ.
All right.
We was out drinking Reposado and wine.
You can succeed with a 9 to 5.
It's good.
That is true.
All right, yeah.
Like I said, I don't feel like any such thing is a worse job.
It may be a job you don't like.
Right. But it's not a worse job
an honest living
is an honest living man
worst job I ever
really had truthfully
was selling crack
that was the worst job
why cause you got on it
that's usually why
people ain't selling it
it's like dang
I done got on it now
my eyes look like this
now I got a struggle face
and now I gotta go to Maryland to see the dermatologist.
Salute to Dr. Natasha Sandy, baby.
Boom, I'm coming, baby.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
My name is DJ Envy Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Leslie f***ing Jones.
Leslie Jones, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome.
Good morning.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
How you feeling today?
I'm good.
I was looking for Jess, you know.
She got shows in Detroit this week.
Yeah, she in Detroit.
I thought she was going to be here so I can kiki.
That's my girl.
You met Jess before?
Oh, are you kidding me?
Yes.
And she is so funny.
I got to say that.
She's one of my favorite people on Instagram.
I love her s***.
She always make me laugh
So funny, what kind of jewels do you give the young female stand-ups like Jess? Oh, well Jess she don't need no
She she gets it like this is the one thing I love about Jess though
Is that she's confident enough to be like very sexy and still do come and see when I was coming up
It was just a rule just you know
Okay
I'll put it like this
women comedians have to go through a certain thing like if i dress sexy and walk on stage
for five minutes i'm not gonna be heard because when i walk on stage the first thing is you're
gonna get the women going does she think she cute and then they're gonna look at their man and be
like oh does he think does he want to her and then you got to me so that's five minutes of going
away like all that happens gotcha so i
used to just do the t-shirt jeans tennis shoe so you can pay attention to me but the thing i like
about her is that she don't give a like she's gonna go up there and she's gonna do her fun and
she's gonna do her and i like that what i always give young women is to you don't have to prove
that you're a woman like jess does go on stage and do that, but she doesn't have to prove
she's a woman. A lot of
female comics write
period jokes or
disjokes. If you can make them funny, that's
different. Just be yourself.
That's real.
Yeah, that's what
I would do. Always keep writing.
Don't stay on the same thing.
You should refresh your set a lot. you should always be writing new jokes and and and anything that
you think is funny is definitely something you should go on stage and try what advice would you
give her about having a permanent gig on top of the stand-up like you know just say a daily show
or a daily radio show like you mean like this show? Like the breakfast club? Like the one that she should be here for now?
That one?
Yeah.
I would say to keep doing what she's doing.
Okay.
Because see, to me,
Jess is going to bring you numbers.
Jess is going to bring you a whole different,
and no s*** on y'all,
but y'all are all men.
F*** y'all.
I agree.
And y'all don't know s*** about bitches.
Trust me, I listen to your s***.
You right.
You don't know nothing about f***ing me.
Nothing.
Not a f***ing thing. You right. And to me, when Jess is on here, me i listen to you you're right you don't know nothing about nothing not a fucking thing you
right and and to me when jess is on here she really be like you know doing her thing you know
i really like her responses she's not scared of y'all so i would tell her to continue because she
one thing i like about her i bet she gets the numbers because she continuously put that content
out i bet you she gets the numbers that's somebody y'all need on here she's a culture shift yeah you really do you really do need to like
and bring some youth to this room i'm not like again i'm not insulting you yes you are but not
you know i'm not insulting but you're not lying but i ain't lying bring some of that new culture
into this because this is this is the breakfast club y'all been here for a while and you should
be here for some more time.
But the only way to do that is to continue to roll with the change.
You know what I'm saying?
And y'all need a bitch in here.
This is the first time you've been up here, right?
This is the first time Leslie's been up here.
Yep.
Because I was like...

Thank you for having me.
I still get people asking me about it. I love that you came on there that was one of the best segments i ever done thank you for having me i still get people asking me about it i love that you came on there was very vulnerable and it's
just wonderful you made me a fan of you that day thank you very much real talk i actually heard
you talking about it afterwards on your podcast too and i was like oh wow it was really awesome
me and lenny was just like he was so great like he's just really good thank you and a lot
of people asked me about that it was like yeah and i was like yeah man that what he said was true like you said
some really good thank you i want to start from the beginning from leslie jones if you don't know
how did you get into comedy what what made to say this is what i want to do as a kid or as i never
thought i was a comedian i never thought i was a comedian until someone entered me into a contest
i just thought i was silly it was getting invited to a lot of stuff and just didn't understand why.
And people like to hang out with me.
And one day my friend was like, yo, bitch, cause you are stupid.
Like you're really funny.
And then when she signed me up, she signed me up for a contest at college.
It was a funniest person on campus and Colorado state.
Okay.
And, um, I was on scholarship in basketball there and she came and told me she was like y'all
i signed you up for this contest and i got mad but i wasn't really mad because i was like oh well
let's try it as soon as i touch the mic it's i can't i tell everybody they think i'm lying
but it was literally like i saw like it's like i've been doing it forever wow it's like i saw
myself like there was nothing there was no option of me doing
anything else i was just like a light that went on and a line that went straight and how did you
start preparing after that so now you want to do comedy right but it's like anything else people
you know most people that go on stage and think they can do comedy and then they fail because
they don't know sets they don't know time they don't know delivery they don't know how to start
studying and say this is what i want to do and who did you study well first of all what i realized is that i was already studying like my dad had every comedy
because he was dj so he i was already into pigfoot and millie jackson and you know mom's man i already
knew about all that stuff i had already had the knowledge of it as far as like knowing what i was
supposed to do on stage i still was in that that mode of like well i want to be like eddie murphy i want to be like whoopi goldberg i want to i want to be like
richard pryor but what i didn't understand is that they are who they are that's the reason they do
the comedy that they're doing i'm gonna have to find out who i am i learned that from jamie so
you know when i thought jamie foxx yeah so because he was i think it was the second time or maybe third time i performed and um i bombed like a
but when he came on stage it was like holy he performs just like richard prine and all that
like this is crazy so it made me go okay what is what is this formula what is this and um then when
i talked to him he was just like you're young you don't really have nothing to talk about
go out and live go out and discover life get fired get hired get get your heart broke break some hearts just go
through life so you can start have something to talk about because right now you're trying to do
jokes and you're not mature enough to do the jokes that you're doing and you're not funny enough to
do the jokes that you're doing and you don't have to talk about so you know that's what i did i went
out and lived i went out and lived and he was right because by the time I came back, I had to talk about.
I tell you like this. I have been doing comedy for three years and I thought I was because I was I was killing that.
And I went up to Jay Anthony Brown. I was like, yeah, Jay, when I'm going to start seeing the fruits of my labor, like when I'm when I'm going to blow up.
It was like 10 years. I remember bus. I went I went home and cried because i was like 10 because this
is the thing it wasn't that i said in my head no him you know because i wasn't that type of comic
i was a very much like when i started comedy i prayed to god i said listen i want to be a good
comic if i'm not gonna be a good comic just let me be a promoter or something because i don't want
to do comedy wrong so when he said the 10 years i it was it was not me going oh no that's you
saying and then no it was me taking it in from a veteran telling me like damn i'm not gonna know
myself until 10 years because he literally asked me one day he said what do you do during the
daytime and i was like i do a lot of stuff he's like well from your set it sounds like only thing
you do is and smoke weed and watch game shows so he was like that's all we get from it i was like nah that's
that that's the 10 year thing because see first three years you learn how to be on stage it's
just think of yourself as a toddler the first year you're walking around you're doing jokes
you're doing jokes you're doing all the dumb jokes the second year you may have graduated a little
bit but you're still doing sex jokes sex jokes is whenever you're seeing people doing sex jokes
unless they're just veterans and they got sex jokes it's an easy thing to go into it's just
it's like low-hanging fruit so those first three or four years you're really just deciding who you
want to be as a comic or whatever five years is when you start getting your gigs you got a set
but after you get eighth year ninth year that's when you start getting the big gigs and
10 years 10 years is when you get tired of your set
10 years is when you go okay i got the attention now what i want to say that's when you start
talking about yourself that's real that's when that's when that's when you bring them jokes out
because you're going to be good enough to do it and by that time you got at least 20 000 sets
under your belt and you should be and people gotta know the 10 10 year
rule there's no way to beat it oh all you who's saying no this bitch don't know what you're
talking about i've been in the business since 87 bitch i know you know how you know what you're
saying is the truth because even when you look at the new generation i don't care if it's just
hilarious dc young fly andrew schultz they've all been doing stand up for damn near 10 years or better
Andrew's been doing it
for 16
exactly
Jess should be right
at 10 right now
and DC should be right
at 10 right now
so you're absolutely right
yeah
yeah
and it's just like
it's like people want to
beat the system
and you're not
going to beat the system
put in the f***ing work
alright we got more
with Leslie Jones
when we come back
it's the Breakfast Club
good morning
morning everybody
it's DJ Envy Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Leslie effing Jones.
Charlamagne?
Leslie, who do you think curses more, you or Samuel L. Jackson?
We're about it the same.
Because we did meet, and both of us, wow, you think I curse a lot?
I do.
The name of your book is Leslie f***ing Jones.
Because that's what people say when they come up to me
they'll be like leslie jones so that's that's why i made it that but it's the first time i cursed
in front of my mom because she knew i had a bad mouth my dad did too my dad knew i had a bad mouth
but they they was like no you respect enough to not to curse around and we was walking to the
store i will never forget this you walk into the store and we i had just went to a parade where
they had the germ and i was like mom you should have seen the Majorettes.
They were swinging their ass.
And my mom was like, Yo, you not talking to your friend?
You better watch your mouth, girl.
And assing your little friend.
Ass is just like a little bit of an ass.
But you know I was about to get into the, you know, f**ks and all of that.
And she was like, Oh, what you sound like when you not around me?
I was like, Very bad.
Very bad.
But I think that me and Samueluel jackson are the same i think we curse at the same and you say y'all met each other
yeah it was hilarious um and i actually imitated him on snl i missed that oh my god we did family
feud okay it yo let me tell you it was one of of those times where they literally let us just have a little fun.
So they wanted me to be Samuel L. Jackson, but they was going to put the beard on me.
And for some reason, we didn't have the beard.
And I just dressed like with the hat and the leather jacket.
And it's like I did look like Samuel, but didn't.
I just looked like Leslie.
So when he came to me and he was like, Samuel L. we were laughing so hard because Kenan was like wait a minute now
you don't look like no damn thing was he pretending to be Steve Harvey
and all I kept saying is you can burn in hell Samuel L Jackson something that you bring to a party why do I gotta bring something
you invited me that's a stupid ass question and I hope you're burning hell
it was just like really really fun but yeah when I finally met him
yeah it was just like so funny but I yeah when i finally met him yeah it was just like so funny
but i think he cursed less when he met me because i i don't curse i gotta ask so you talked about
you remember bombing so i always ask comedians when they come up you remember your worst show
and your best show i can name 10 straight that is probably the same type of words let me see
uh i fell off the stage no man but that wasn't my worst show i fell off the stage. No, man. But that wasn't my worst show. I fell off the stage and got right back up
and was like, I'm a stuntman too, and kept ripping.
But you're talking about like a bomb.
I remember Kevin Hart came up here one time
and he talked about the time where they threw a chicken wing at him.
Charles Oakley threw a chicken wing at him, right?
That was one of his worst shows.
So what was that one show that's always in your mind
and been like, that **** venue?
I would say Riddles, maybe, in Chicago
was always kind of a hard room to do.
What happened to Riddles?
Riddles, D-Ray used to host it.
What happened?
I think that's when I fell off the chair.
I stood up on a chair and then fell off the chair.
But no, I still ripped.
I could just tell you funny s***.
I got introduced in Omaha at this poetry show.
And this was so hilarious like I was
you know and I was beautiful like young
long hair on the road
and you know dudes be trying to talk to you
and especially the ones that you want to talk to
so I remember this Rasta dude
was trying to talk to me he was fine looked like
Bob Marley I was like oh you're definitely going
to the hotel room with me so
I'm talking to him and then dude's like I'm
about to introduce you, right?
And I had on these clunky ass sandals or something
and he introduced me
and man, I came down that step
and f***ing somersault.
No, man.
Why you always falling?
I rolled right in front of the f***ing thing
and jumped back up.
I was like,
yeah, that's how I come on stage.
That's how I come on stage.
Man, I looked over and the roster was paying his bill to leave.
I said, you m****.
You m****.
What about the best show?
So the best show.
What was the most amazing show that you still love?
I just can't.
Okay, it's just too many.
I would say one of my favorite ones is when I went to Grand Rapids, Michigan.
And they had a whole section that was deaf.
And they had the girl doing the...
Yeah, they were deaf.
And she was signing.
So, you know, I have a dirty show.
And I was like, how you say suck a...
So she was like doing it.
So I was like, suck a...
And she was like...
And then she got really tired.
And I was like, ain't that something?
The white girl got tired of sucking s***.
Ain't that something?
Man.
Grand Rapids, they were on fire.
There's so many good shows.
I mean, when I was on tour with Cat.
Yeah.
Like, so many.
Oh, my God.
I have to tell the story.
Because I know Cat remembers this.
Okay, so it was the beginning of the f***ing tour
we was in Chicago
I remember this
so it was the New Year show
so we went out
performing
Cat was late
so I had to go out
and you know
keep performing or whatever
so when Cat got there
you know
Cat is Cat
so this dude was waiting
with a fur coat
like this beautiful
black fur coat
so he was like
Cat I want you to wear it
on stage
I want you to wear it on stage so Cat was like yeah so you put the coat on and he went out and
you know people lost and they was already mad that he was late but to see him they lost it they lost
them it was going crazy cat took off that coat and threw it out into the audience and dude was like
dude fainted no man dude that coat was like $15,000.
They ripped that mother****** apart.
He was just like, oh.
Yo.
I'm sure Cat probably gave him the money for it.
No, he did not.
No, he did not.
I always hear about Cat being so generous.
He may have given it.
I just didn't know.
I don't know.
But I think Cat was like, that's the way the crookie crumbles, homie.
You know, Chris Rock, he did the forward to your book.
Yes. Can you talk about your relationship with Chris Rock rock yeah i mean i've known him forever i know you know all the comedians known each other forever chris i met tony rock before i met
actually met chris rock but um just known each other forever and i used to always just
bug the out of him and be like yo i'm only to make it if somebody like you tell them I'm funny.
Why you ain't telling them I'm funny, Chris?
And he'd just be like, he always said he didn't say I wasn't ready.
But he did say that, but he was like, no, they're not ready for you.
That's what he was saying.
But I would always, man, I would chase him out to the car at the Laugh Factory.
I would chase him all the way out to his car.
And I'd be like, what the fuck, yo?
What you doing?
Like, why don't you see me ripping these motherfuckers? And he'd just smile at me and get in his car. Like'd be like what the f**k yo what you doing like why you see me ripping these small and he just smiled at me and getting this car like god damn it chris i love what he
said in the four though he said he talked about how snl could easily find white comedians because
of institutions but don't have an idea where to find funny black people so how difficult is it
for a black comedian to be discovered for just like what he said like you find them in an
institution you find the funny bitches at the dmv
and that's real talk like uh barbara carlisle i will always mention barbara carlisle because
barbara carlisle when i was coming out was one of the biggest female coming like so freaking funny
like funny as hell how she didn't blow up you know what i'm saying because she didn't say have the
same opportunities as maybe a wife you know female comic can get seen easier
they get the laugh at three spots and comedy store in the cellar and all of that stuff you know and
really like we have to vouch for each other like at the cellar had to vouch for for yam i always
say her name yamanika yamanika i always say her name wrong she she loves that i mess her name up
but she'd be like you know how to say my name bitch bitch. One of the, man, when I say Yamamika.
Yamamika.
See?
And she's going to be like, God damn it, Leslie.
So funny.
Oh, one of my favorite.
I love Yamamika.
Oh, she's so funny.
So, and she don't care.
She will just tell you, tell her.
But at first, they weren't going to let her in the cellar.
So I was like, yo, if I hadn't got SNL, that would be me.
So let her in the cellar so i was like yo if i hadn't got snl that would be me so let her in you got
white comics down there talking about having sex with their wife with a christmas roll and you
talk about she's blue no f**k that put her up so you know it's it's like that's it's just that type
of community you know it's that type of community but but you know chris chris knew what he was
going to take somebody like a chris to say yo you need to put her on? Well, now, I mean, nowadays, now it's different.
Now we're getting a lot more love.
But back in the day, yeah, you got to get introduced through a male.
You know, that's how it is.
Old Boys Club.
All right, we got more with Leslie Jones when we come back.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Leslie F. and Jones.
Every comedian always talk about bad promoters,
and promoters are always bad in the world.
How bad was it for you?
Oh, and I'm just to tell you, I'm pretty sure,
just to tell you, shysty-ass promoters,
they bad for everybody.
But for women, it's an extra layer there because, oh God, I hate to say it like this,
because it was really hard in the
beginning because promoters you know you have some of the promoters that think they're gonna get to
you or either like that you that that you are being brought for them to man i came from
hoes pimps and crackheads and drug dealers you comedy niggas is jokes y'all niggas are clowns like i wouldn't f**k you with my enemies
and i don't like that bitch you know what i'm saying f**k her with a hard d**k but not yours
so so so you would like when i first came it was like if you if there was a headliner and they
want you to go on the road, it's like, are you?
I would get on because I was funny.
But you definitely would have the moments where, hey, why are you not being nice to the promoter?
The promoter like you, why are you not being nice to the promoter?
That is 72.
And he has on my grandfather's suit.
Damn.
What the fuck?
You think I'm going to gonna the promoter with what
what deal is you making you know i mean that type of or the hotels like i remember another
comment we're all on the same hallway and they didn't get no bitches because they're not gonna
get no bitches and they're like oh we just trying to figure out who gonna get to come to leslie's
room i said none of you hoes and what was so funny is that I actually was hooking up with somebody tonight.
And I walked right down the hallway and I opened up the door.
It's like, yeah, that's who gets the not you dirty.
Damn.
Any comic you ask me, ask about me.
We'll tell you.
I am that bitch.
Yeah, we don't with us.
You know, it's so funny what you talk about with the money thing.
That's what I'm always concerned about with women and promoters because i'm always like
when promoters be short they'll they're more than likely to be like i'm not giving her money because
i don't feel like nothing gonna happen oh i talking about worse shows and i'm gonna mention
everybody name in this okay so i'm in new york new york you know it's not that many women when
i was doing it it's a few and we get them shows or whatever.
And yes, I did a show for Ray Dijon.
Ray.
So he books me in Brooklyn.
Right.
And it's I remember it was Drew Frazier, somebody else.
And I don't remember who this promoter's name was, but I guess because I was a female and the crowd wasn't good.
So Drew went up.
He did.
All right.
Another comedian went up and they wasn't really doing that well.
So he comes over to me and he goes,
yo,
just do 10 minutes,
just do 10 minutes.
Cause he didn't know me.
So he's like,
just do 10 minutes.
And I was like,
okay,
well no problem.
And he was like,
I'll pay you when you get off stage.
So I was like,
all right,
all right.
So I get on stage and I'm ripping,
I'm destroying 10 minutes.
I got off. Why the fuck you get off stage? I was like i'm destroying 10 minutes i got off why the f**k you get on stage
i was like dude you told me that because he literally came over and said i don't think i'm
gonna have all the money just do 10 minutes so i was like you just told me to do 10 minutes
that you he's like no you were killing no f**k that f**k that i'm not paying you
so i'm just like new to new york and i'm just like, dude, like, and so I go to Ray Dijon.
I was like, yo, this is not going to pay me.
You book me.
What the Ray?
And he was like, yeah, I'm talking to, I don't know.
So I call Rob Stapleton.
Salute to Rob.
Yeah, shout out to Rob.
I love Rob Stapleton.
Rob Stapleton called Big Biff.
And they got out that car.
Big Biff's hand was around that promoter's neck so fast.
He was like, and then he was like, you gonna do a f***ing female like that,
my f***er?
And he was like,
nah, dude.
It wasn't like that.
She just wasn't patient enough
to wait for my f***ing money.
Like, real talk,
they do think that they can punk people.
I've had a lot of promotions.
In Atlanta.
Oh, so when you're paying out my money.
So how much I owe you?
I only owe you $600.
No, you owe me $1,100.
Keep counting.
Okay.
No ride to the airport.
Damn.
Like, shit like that.
Oh, no, I have been left at venues.
Oh, the car leaving.
Okay, I'm the female.
You should wait for the female.
Oh, they went back to the hotel.
Really?
Damn.
Oh, no, it's a lot of shit.
And that's why I always say now, because I'm no it's a lot of and that's why that's why i always say now because
i'm sure it's a little different now because women do speak up but i always tell male comedians when
you're on the road with a female look out for her that's right look out for her because like
like i know a lot of female comedians that's been raped that's been like hurt beat up slapped by
other comedians.
And you know who you are.
Real talk.
Like it's like it's another battle.
It's another battle because we are women.
But like I said, I'm a big six feet.
You know, she got to go in like five minutes.
Are you going to be the host of The Daily Show?
You're doing it all next week.
I don't know.
Am I?
You tell me.
Do you want?
I mean, was that something you would want?
You know what?
I'm not going to lie.
I think I'd be pretty good at it.
Yeah, yeah.
And I think nighttime is ready for a black woman.
Ready for one that's ready to go do it.
Because I feel like I've been built for that.
I call myself the 2,000-year-old woman because I've been through every decade.
But I feel like they need somebody who can bring laughter and and and and inform people in a way
that they they like take their medicine with the candy it's time to bring some laughter back to
life period it's time for everybody to stop being so offended how about this is what i want to say
everybody has been acting for the last five years like a. Hey, guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from

I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more.
They should be embarrassed by what they already did.
I'm not making these people do these things.
I'm called donkey of the day and it really caught me off guard.
Damn, Charlamagne.
Who got the donkey of the day today?
Well, Jeff's hilarious.
Donkey of the day for Thursday, August 3rd goes to a 21-year-old Mississippi man named Sean Kendrick Huffman.
His first name is crazy.
His first name looks like the last line
on an eye chart why do people waste letters why name me something where most of the letters are
going to be silent this man name is Sean Kendrick but it's spelled s-h-u-n-e-k-n-d-r-i-c-k shouldn't
it be s-h-u-n-k-e-n-d-r-i-c-k whatever listen i need everyone to listen to this story
closely because this story is a prime example of why patience is a virtue people see kendrick was
21 years old uh he's doing seven years well he was doing seven years in the mississippi
correctional facility for aggravated assault so that means he's been locked up since he was a
juvenile right that means he's been locked up since he was a juvenile, right? That means he's been locked up since he was like 13, 14. He clearly must have had a public defender
because no juvenile should get seven years for aggravated assault. But either way, this young
man did his time and he was scheduled to be released in December of 2022. And needless to
say, that didn't happen. Why didn't it happen? Let's go to WAPT 16 ABC News for the report,
please. An inmate who had only a few months left to serve before escaping from prison is now looking at decades behind bars.
Shaquendrick Huffman is the person that you see on your screen.
The 21-year-old escaped the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Pearl August 25th of last year.
He was serving the last four months of a seven-year sentence for aggravated assault.
Investigators said that
Huffman broke into a nearby home and held the homeowner at gunpoint for hours. Authorities
said Huffman stole a vehicle from the home and at some point rammed a law enforcement vehicle
at a roadblock before running away. Huffman is sentenced to 60 years for two counts of kidnapping.
He'll serve 40 of those years of the sentence with 20 suspended jesus that's wild he's an idiot
shane kendrick you did uh seven years in prison he was four months away from coming home and you
decided to break out and once you got out you broke into a nearby home held three people at
gunpoint for hours then you stole a car from one of those hostages before before you crashed it
then you fled on foot and then you was found hiding in a
trash can just two miles away from the prison now i know we have conversations about these kids
lacking patience but this is ridiculous he was four months away from being able to live in any
trash can you wanted to if you wanted to come home and identify as oscar the grouch you could
have done that legally but no four months from being released and you ended up escaping from
jail and then committing a series of crimes that got you 40 years i know what the hell happened sean kendrick got a boo
sean kendrick has a prison bay all right that prison bay was pressuring him oh you're just
gonna leave me in here okay i gave you cigarettes i gave you honey buns we used to be in this cell
cheek to cheek okay and you're just gonna leave me you were free shun kendrick all right you served seven years just to wait until the last four
months to act up there's only one logical reason and i could think of that would make a man want
to stay in and that's love the man is penis matized all right somebody's indiana bones got
him open all right this is like the movie lifese. Instead of coming up with a plan to get out, Kendrick was coming up with a plan to stay in because he loves the taste of Franks and beans.
OK, him and his locked up lover had an argument.
Big Ray said, I gave you the best seven years of my life.
How many rolls of toilet paper have I sacrificed for you?
And you're just going to leave me?
The thought of freedom and vagina should have motivated this man to be on his best behavior for four months.
But instead, the fear of losing his guzman motivated him to get caught so he could stay in prison.
He didn't want to leave, man.
Too hard to adjust to this new world.
He got to come home and pick a pronoun.
He don't even know what that is.
And the thought of doing all that without his bae, he couldn't handle it.
You know what I mean?
All partners want is their significant other to show their commitment to them.
But there's no bigger sign that you're committed than adding 40 years to a seven-year sentence.
And what 20-year-old or 21-year-old Chunk Kendrick is going to realize is that at 21, no D is good enough to make that kind of commitment.
Right, AJ and Tammy?
I agree.
You know what I'm saying?
Run. You and that man not even going to make that kind of commitment. Right, AJ and Tammy? I agree. You know what I'm saying? Run.
You and that man not even going to be together in five years.
But you still going to have to do all that 40.
All because he fell in love with one-eyed Pete.
A wise man once said, that penis will do that to you, man.
Oh, please give Sean Kendrick Huffman the biggest hee-haw.
Sad, man. Please give Sean Kendrick Huffman The biggest hee haw Sad man But what if he was just a kid
He was a kid when he went in
What if he's institutionalized
And afraid of society as a grown man
I believe that
That's what I'm saying
He's probably scared of the world
It's too hard to adjust
You gotta come home
You gotta, you know
Learn what he could have learned to trade
That's why they should teach
That's why correctional facilities should be actual correctional facilities.
Let this man learn to trade.
Let this man get, you know, some proper education in there so he can come home and be a productive citizen.
Right.
Yeah, they don't do any real life rehabilitation in prison, especially in America.
We have the most people in prison in this country.
They call them correctional facilities, but they're not correcting nothing.
Not when the judge is on the prisons.
Mm-hmm.
So, Kendrick, you want to play a game?
No, I do not want to play a game.
All right.
This man's name is spelled S-H-U-N-E-K-N-D-R-I-C-K.
You want to play a game?
We do not need to play a game.
It's Mississippi.
You want to play a game with Ray Cias? It's Mississippi. His name is Sean Kendrick. We do not need to play a game. It's Mississippi. You don't want to play a game with a racist?
It's Mississippi.
His name is Shunk Hendrick.
We do not need to play a game.
You sure?
You really want to play this game, huh?
All right.
I guess it's time to play a game of Guess What Racist?
Okay.
All right.
21-year-old Mississippi man named Shunkendrick Huffman had seven years in prison.
Only had four months left.
Broke out.
Held people at hostage.
Ended up getting 40.
Guess what race he is?
Bam, bam.
Mexican.
Bi-racial.
You know what, though?
I can see why you would say that, though.
Working hard.
AJ, what do you say?
Bi-racial.
He's mixed.
Okay, okay.
I like those.
Okay.
Envy, Kendrick Huffman, 21-year-old Mississippi man, broke out of the prison, only had four
months left on a seven-year sentence, held a pupil hostage, ended up getting 40.
Guess what race he is?
I'm thinking white.
All right.
Okay.
Beige.
All right. What is he? Well, we have to off. All right. Okay. Beige. All right.
What is he?
Well, we have to play the game fair.
Okay.

I don't know why, but anyway.
The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Come on now.
The styling, profiling, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing, wheeling and dealing
son of a gun.
The nature boy, Ric Flair.
Come on now.
Morning.
Good morning, sir.
You get tired of hearing that?
People just run up on you in the airport and just start screaming that all the time?
I love it.
I love it.
How are you doing today, first and foremost?
I'm doing great.
Thank you.
How are you?
We're doing good
doing pretty well ma'am you're in town for uh uh there's comic con right yes first ever celebrity
mint tell us about that you got these great cards here yeah those are actually gold and there's
silver there too okay and these are all silver this has one has a gold inlay in it yep and uh
they're made by celebrityity Mint out of Houston
and distributed via eBay through them.
Basically all over.
There will be for a 10, 30-year model.
When you first started your wrestling career,
did you see things like this?
Never.
There'd be trading cards with you?
Never.
Really?
That's amazing.
Never imagined, especially in silver or gold.
What made you finally retire for good after 50 years?
Well, I had that one match last year.
You know, I still feel great.
It's funny.
People misunderstand when I say I wish I could wrestle again.
Like, I mean, I feel great.
I'm probably one of the few guys that still with no hip replacements or knee replacements or shoulder.
And I feel great.
So I could, but I, yeah, actually I could,
but I won't.
Now when you started,
when you first started wrestling.
I didn't want to quit.
You didn't want to.
Vince McMahon's at his time.
That's okay.
So when you first started wrestling,
break us down
because you,
you know,
you wanted to be different
from everybody else
and you were different
from everybody else.
So what gave you that mind frame?
What said,
this is what I'm going to be.
I'm going to wear these robes.
I'm going to be fly.
I'm going to be. That was after the airplane crash robes. I'm going to be fly. I'm going to be.
That was after the airplane crash.
1975, I crashed in an airplane, killed a guy, and paralyzed two other guys.
While I was rehabbing, hopefully, hopeful of wrestling again,
I met a guy named George Goddard.
He said, why don't we make you a little bit like Buddy Rogers?
Buddy was very popular in the 50s and 60s.
Nature with Buddy Rogers. Buddy was very popular in the 50s and 60s. Nature Boy Buddy Rogers.
I just took that and then the words of Harley Race. Remember Harley?
Flair
took Rogers' gimmick
to a whole
new level.
He lied to you. He had no idea
who Harley Race was.
He had no idea who that is.
You survived the plane crash in 1975.
You survived death a couple of times,
but when you survived a plane crash,
how did your life change?
Like, what is your mentality from that point on?
Well, when you're younger, you don't think about it.
Really?
I just thought, well, I made it, you know.
I was, you know, a little bit intimidated
to fly again for the first time,
but I got on one of
those private jets today to get here to make sure I could be around time
okay and it's great what a way to go I may never fly commercial again when you
crashed in the plane did it like explode around you like no we were out ran out
of gas so there's no explosion but it uh normally a small the twin engine sets on 310 normally when
you hit a an orchard of trees or whatever they were called you know the little cartwheel plane
we were going so fast we fell from 6 000 feet that we just tore down the whole damn orchard and
landed in a railroad embankment that was train tracks top of it. Just a half mile from the runway.
Wow.
How much practice did you guys have to do
when it came out?
I don't practice.
No?
No.
There was no practice back then?
You just work out and just,
the match is at eight and you're there?
Yeah, because I'm a little different
than a lot of guys.
A lot of guys like to go out and,
well, I'm not saying it,
but later on,
because it's part of the deal now
where the guys have to rehearse and all that. I just was always at the old school we got to hear
the crowd you can't rehearse something you don't know how the people are gonna
react to and that's one of the problems today when the young kids they had this
match put together they walk out the door and the fans aren't reacting the
way they want it and because they don't have the experience not the ability but
don't have the experience they can the ability, but don't have the experience,
they can't change it around.
That's why sometimes they're not getting
the reaction from the crowd
they want.
So when you were wrestling,
there was no practice.
It's two men in that match
and whatever happened,
happened.
You get slapped in the face.
Yeah, we knew the outcome
and then...
We just know from there.
So when you get slapped
in the face,
it wasn't practice.
Like, oh, this just
slapped me in my face.
Yeah, mm-hmm.
I would tell them to.
Wow.
Yeah.
Hit me with brass knuckles. We used to hit each other with share with brass knuckles old days. Not the real brass knuckles
Right, let's dress ourselves up. No, we're called the hard ways. Jesus Christ
Is so born right here is real
Oh, you know you got to hit hard you just yeah, okay
Then I was always had that surgical little thing right here. That was the best part of my work.
Get me to my blade and I'm good.
You had a blade in your fingers too?
A blade in your fingers?
So you could have missed and went too far, but...
I have a couple times.
Y'all got to have some really nice relationships with each other.
We're not thinking the same thing.
To accidentally cut somebody with a blade and the person not be upset at you for real.
Oh, no, I was never cutting anybody else.
I was cutting myself.
Oh, okay, I get what you're saying.
I have cut some guys, but they knew it was coming.
So you must think this new wrestling is so soft with what you were dealing with.
It's not soft because nothing is ever soft.
It's just a different time.
It's like Lawrence Taylor.
Could Lawrence play right now?
He'd be suspended every game.
He'd be fined so much right now.
Or Dick Butkus who just passed away.
The rules of this change.
It's still a very difficult,
very physically demanding sport.
These guys are doing stuff now where they're
jumping off tables and
ladders. I only did
that a couple times.
What was your last match like for you when you fought Jeff Jarrett and James?
It was great except for the fact I didn't anticipate, you know I psyched myself off
and I was dehydrated and I went out there and we put together what I thought was a real
good match.
It wasn't ever going to be a masterpiece but we put'd put together the match, and then I got real lightheaded,
and there were about five minutes into the match, and I said to one of the guys, I'm
not feeling good.
Well, it just went around the ring like he said, like his heart's bad or whatever, right?
But we got it straightened out.
But it was just funny.
I just dehydrated, and Undertaker came back to the dressing room
and made me drink three Gatorades, and I went over to Kid Rocks
and partied with the kid all night.
So I was fine.
But I saw you say you wish you had picked a different person
to have your last match against.
No, that's a misinterpretation.
These damn podcasts just say it it and it comes out wrong.
There's a guy that's still
active today, Ricky Morton from
Rock and Roll Express.
If I were
to have a singles match,
not a tag,
they wanted to have a tag match because
they didn't think I could make it through a singles.
If I was going to have a singles match now,
it would be with Ricky Morton.
He's still active and he's doing great.
And he was so good.
And definitively, I'm a much better bad guy
than I am a good guy.
Oh, absolutely.
But you always were kind of like,
you're the bad guy, but then you're like
the bad guy people root for.
Yeah. You know what I mean?
That's out of respect over the years.
Yeah. How do you I mean? That's out of respect over the years. Yeah.
How do you prepare yourself to say,
okay, this is my last match?
And did it really feel that way? I just focused on it.
What it did is I had four months
to really get myself in shape.
I mean, I work out pretty hard anyway,
but to really get myself in,
and I had made up my mind
that I would be as good as shape,
not cosmetically, obviously, because I'm a cosmetic nightmare that's not true one of the
ladies I did says he's so cute that we said that one of the ladies out there
said that she hasn't seen you love my shirt since my shirt not so cute since
my surgery um but um I just I was ready I just framed that full forward. And, you know, you know,
you remember Vince Lombardi's favorite saying,
fatigue makes cowards of us all.
I mean, I would never worry about getting tired
because I was always in better shape.
So I actually got myself in as good a shape
as I was in 1974.
I was doing 500 free squats and 100 pushups.
Yeah.
You still work out to this day?
Yes.
Really?
When I'm home, I've been gone quite a bit.
But I go up and train with John Cena's trainer, Rob.
All right, we got more with Ric Flair.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ MV Charlamagne, the guy we are, The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Wrestling Grape.
Woo!
Ric Flair. Charlamagne?
I always wonder, because you know, you
always talk about just steroid juice before.

a 15-year-old girl in Alabama
who refused to give up her seat on the city bus
nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it.
And it began with me.
Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin.

Right, but you never had the physique of the...
No, I didn't take it.
I took steroids when I remember it, too.
Kind of hard at 4 a.m. to remember to take your pills exactly when...
Is that the only way you get that big physique like that?
No, you get it through hard work.
Okay.
But, you know, I wrestled so much,
I didn't pay as much attention to my diet.
Because in wrestling, I did a lot of, like, hour matches.
And when I was younger, I would, like, wrestle 300 hour matches a year.
So you get mentally here, and then you can eat and drink what you want,
and then all of a sudden your metabolism changes, you retire.
You got to be careful, you know what I mean?
Are you still surprised that some of your catchphrases still,
people are saying now to this day,
and even like some of the rappers still want you in their videos,
make songs like Offset, who was here this week.
His album's out right now.
Offset was here?
Yeah, Offset was here a couple days ago.
Yeah, he's a great guy.
Does that still surprise you when these rappers call you and things like that?
Not really.
I'm a Doja Cat's number two, you know, with my catch line.
Nobody can be first, but anyone could be next
yeah
I love Offset
he's great
Metro Boomin
those are great guys
Metro Boomin's got another one
out now
Offset album came out
it's out right now
you had a
you had a ruptured intestine
too in 2017
yeah
then you got put into a coma
respiratory heart failure
pneumonia
all kind of stuff
how did that?
Total kidney failure, everything.
Two total?
Jesus Christ.
How did that near-death experience impact you?
That changed my life.
Okay.
Because I couldn't walk or anything.
I didn't have any memory for six months.
That was when I decided that I needed to make sure that everybody that mattered to me in my life, I told.
Wow.
Not going religion on you.
I mean, obviously, we all have our own religion,
and I believe in God very strongly,
but it really made me aware of telling people that I like
because you never know.
I'm living proof you never know.
I was just sitting at a bar,
like I will be tonight with these guys,
and all of a sudden, I got a pain in my stomach.
I didn't wake up for 31 days.
Wow.
I don't even remember going to the hospital.
Damn.
Do you remember the first person you told you love when you finally was able to?
Well, it must have been my wife, Wendy.
I guess it would be her.
Hogan said that I looked at him and said, get me a six-pack of beer.
Do you consider yourself the greatest wrestler of all time?
Yes.
Yes.
I'm not on my Mount rushmore um you're not no because i don't know i think you better have somebody else put you there but my mount rushmore in terms of importance to the business
is stone cold obviously undertaker and i think sean michaels sean michaels is the greatest
performer of all time in our
business why is the rock on your mount rushmore uh he would be except he didn't stay long enough
i think part of the mount rushmore is longevity you know it's hard to be really good and rock
was great i mean but he took off and he's on my rock on my rock rushmore for interview skills and
everything else and i remained very close to him. But he just had that unbelievable amount of charisma.
God, what a great guy.
What do you think the difference between the WCW and WWF was
as far as business?
Oh, the WWF was run like a business.
WCW was just catch-as-catch-can.
Wow.
Everybody had their own thing going.
And the guy that ran it, he liked creating dissension between,
let's say it's Scott Hall and Kevin with the NWO, the head guys, right?
Obviously there are other guys.
And it was, say, Sting and Luger and then Hulk and Randy.
I mean, he just liked to create, not create, but it was his style of doing business.
And nothing ever works like that.
And then Hulk had total creative control, which I don't blame him for.
He brought a lot to the table.
But it's just hard to function.
I mean, they did, and they did great for 83 weeks.
But at the end of 83 weeks, how do you bankrupt Ted Turner?
Damn.
Because I love the Four Horsemen,
and I always wonder why the four horsemen never got to the
level dx or nwo oh we never wrote the time frame okay yeah if we'd been we're 10 years too early
gotcha we'd come along in the 90s that same four people yeah that would have been i was always
wondering like when you talk wwf or wwe or nwa or whatever how do they decide who is going to be
that quote- man, right?
You know,
they give you the opportunity
and you got about five minutes
to do something
that the guy goes.
That people are going to like.
Really?
I mean, you got that,
we call it guerrilla, right?
There's Vince and Hunter
and whoever the agents are
that got some,
like Michael Hayes,
guys that have been there
for a while.
And you got,
they go out the door
and you got five minutes to
show them something that's gonna make them go hmm or you know vince like i've seen him a thousand
times he's either gonna tell you you're the oh you're going home he's gonna shake your hand
and i mean or i'll talk to you later my case i'll talk to you later do you remember that
conversation with you that first conversation when they pulled you to the side
and said, you're the guy?
Yeah, it was, but that's when I won the NWA championship
for the first time.
I guess I'd be 81, but I wasn't the guy I thought I was,
but I had wrestled so many guys that were really good
in that one area of the Mid-Atlantic, right,
that when I went on the road and started wrestling guys
for an hour that didn't
know anything about wrestling when i thought i knew it all i was i was lost and i didn't draw
so they took it off me and then i prepared myself and got myself back and realized that everybody's
not gonna be the best wrestler every night and then the second time i was ready to go
that's when i really turned it on where did the figure four leg lock come from?
Buddy Rogers.
Okay.
Does that work in real life if you put somebody in there?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Really?
I put a linebacker at Penn State still sitting on the floor of a bar.
I would love to see you put on Charlemagne one time.
Just one time.
Tell me about the guy in the bar in Penn State.
What happened to him?
Well, you know, the phony wrestler thing.
He said, figure four. The kid told me.
He said, I can get out of that. I said, no, you can't.
He said, yeah, I can. I said, you got to let me get out of that.
He was a big kid, too. He's still
laying there.
If you feel
up for it, before you leave, I want to see you put it on
Charlamagne. He'll let you do it. Yes, one time.
Yes. And you got to tap out? Yes.
I would love to see that one time.
Come on.
You won't have me back on then.
What's your favorite iteration of the Four Horsemen?
Arn, Tully, myself, and Barry Wendell.
That's the original one, right?
Is that the original one?
The original one was with Ole.
But Ole, his kids were older at that time, and he wanted to work part-time.
Ole was great
but the best
forward Barry
are myself and Tully
do a lot of younger
wrestlers come up to you
and ask for guidance
and mentorship
and do you give it
to a lot of the
younger wrestlers
I try to
but I realize
it doesn't mean anything
because the first thing
they're going to
they want to go look
and see what the fans
are saying
social media runs everything
how do you think
a young Ric Flair
would handle social media
well he'd be in jail
We'd be conducting this interview
From Rikers Island
We see too much, right?
Yeah
Hello Rick, are you still at Rikers?
Do you mind joining the Breakfast Club?
We're not talking about your silver coins.
That is hilarious, man.
It's the truth.
Young Rick Flair?
I don't think so.
All right, well, don't move.
We got more with Rick Flair when we come back.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody. Set up my home. morning the breakfast club morning everybody cj mv charlotte being the guy we are the breakfast
club we're still kicking it with wrestling great rick flair charlamagne how is it watching your
daughter following your footsteps oh god it's amazing that i'll take very seriously she's the
greatest thing going yeah you've seen her yeah, she's in a different world, different planet, different stratosphere than I was.
Did you want her to?
No.
I said, somebody asked her, and she was doing real well in the business world, graduated
college.
And I saw her looking, and the guy asked her, and he said, why aren't you doing this?
And I had a talent relationship at the time.
I saw her, I know her like a book.
I saw her walk around the her like a book i saw
her walk around the room and think to herself she walked over to me said have you think what i said
i don't know i why she said i just want i think i'm gonna try it she is not the greatest of all
time isn't that like the ultimate form of homage to you though well it's not really you know it's
because of her little brother my son that passed away. Everything, I think, is still in the back of her mind.
She's fulfilling the dream that he lived,
which makes it even more special and more personal.
That's clearly the most important thing to you.
Yeah, absolutely.
What do you think sports entertainment is missing right now?
I don't think it's missing anything, man.
I think it's tracking on all fours.
Every time you turn around, Tony is opening up another show,
and they've got three live shows a week now.
WWE's making more money than ever.
I still believe that wrestling is the greatest form of sports entertainment there is.
People will be like, oh, it's not real.
Yeah, but they're sold out saying it's not real.
They can say whatever they want to say.
People watch it.
It's not just the blue-collar fans.
I mean, the doctors, lawyers, everybody loves it.
I think it's a misconception as to how much hard work goes into it,
especially if you're on top now.
Because let's say if they're working a full schedule,
they still wrestle 155 times a year, I think, at the full schedule, right?
But if you're in the top tier, you know what you're doing on the three days off you have?
All you're doing is media.
Media for the next round.
Media for the next match.
I mean, there is no time off, really.
That's why it's nice that Vince or whoever's calling the shots now
understands that kids need to take a month's break here or there.
I was going to ask you, how does your body heal with so many matches you're talking 155 matches i wrestled 425
i wrestled over 400 times for eight years we don't rest we just drink and sleep on the plane
jesus and then so that's why i got one of the reasons i got into cannabis business that i've
eaten xanax trying to sleep on these international flights, you know.
I have to tell them, somebody asked me about it one week.
I wrestled an hour in Sydney, wrestled an hour in Auckland, wrestled an hour in Christchurch,
flew to St. Louis, an hour in St. Louis, flew to Atlanta, an hour in Atlanta,
and flew to Tokyo all in the same week.
Wow.
That's a lot of booze and at least three Xanax.
So you like to smoke the weed
or pop the edibles?
No, I do.
I can, but I can't hang with Mike.
I will ask you.
I'd love to see you
and Mike Tyson smoke.
I'm saying edibles or what.
Edibles.
Edibles can get you off his annex.
Have you had Mike Tyson's edibles?
Huh?
Have you had Mike's edibles?
Mike Tyson?
Yeah, I've had my own too.
I have my own called Woochoos.
Really?
Yeah.
You should have brought
some of that up too.
Hell yeah.
With these cards. You should have brought some cards and called WooChoos. Really? Yeah. You should have brought some of that up, too. Hell yeah.
With these cars.
You should have brought some cars and some WooChoos.
Well, let's talk about the reason that you're in town, Comic-Con.
Let's talk about these coins and these cars that you have. Let's talk about them again.
Yeah.
So we can feel the weight of them.
Yep.
Solid silver, guys.
So what are they doing over here?
Come here, Ryan.
Come on.
Come here.
Come to the mic.
One of y'all come to the mic so y'all can explain it.
Any one of y'all.
So the Nature Boy will be releasing our product product so we'll post all the prices and all
the products that are available and rick and i will be opening them live for customers so there's
different chase elements inside there so there'll be redeemables for personalized memorabilia from
rick a meet and greet with rick is also available so there's a lot of cool stuff that will be
announced these are limit are these limited edition yes so i made a lot of cool stuff that will be announced. Are these limited edition? Yeah, so I made
a thousand of the silver
coins in the bigger holders there.
I made a thousand of those.
And then of the gold card, there's 500.
Wow, so 500 for the gold.
It's pure gold.
Is there a website? It's celebrityment.com
Celebrityment.com. The distribution will be handled
by eBay. Okay.
That's so cool congratulations man
you deserve it
thank you sir
the fact that you
got your body beat up
and they only paid
you $800,000
I'd love to see
you winning that
that was just
one year
that was just
one year
the $500,000
was the most
before that
before that
wow
I did want to ask you
what do you think
about celebrities
getting into wrestling
like when you see
the Logan Pauls
and the Bad Bunch
I like the
guys that are actually good athletes and i've got no problem with that i'm not crazy about some of
the people they bring in but i mean when they actually couldn't get in the ring and like and
bad bunny was a really good he did pretty good he did he killed it he did really good but that
paul kid didn't he believe it or not i know Sean trained him, which I wasn't aware of, but that Paul kid is
damn good. He's an athlete.
And he ain't afraid of anything.
You know, a big part of wrestling is
when they start telling you to jump up, that turnbuckle
can go through the table. I mean, that table doesn't
always break the way you want it to.
Nothing guaranteed about those tables.
You know, they're not gimmicked or anything.
They haven't been taking their screws out.
You got him right dead center in the middle, they won't break the right way.
Oh, so those tables weren't staged?
They weren't like...
No, absolutely not.
God damn.
That's a big misconception.
Do you know how many people y'all got hurt that went home and tried that on one of them tables?
Oh, yeah, sure.
Especially with the steel chairs.
Yeah, steel chairs, they don't do more headshots because of all the congressional issues.
You know, I mean, guys like Mick Foley and that.
I mean, the stuff Mick did is still,
if you look at the stuff going off the top of the cage.
And then that time, I was just talking to Taker about it
the other day when they were on top of the cage.
And Taker said,
God, Mick, I can feel the wires breaking on top, right?
Mick said, I'm ready, and went.
He fell through, landed on the back of his neck.
Teeth went through his n, right to his nose.
Oh, my gosh.
Mick has beat his brains out, man.
More, more, I mean, thumbtack matches.
I only had a couple of those.
But it doesn't hurt while you're out there.
But, man, when you go back there and they're pulling on thumbtacks out here
and the barbed wire stuff.
The barbed wire is really rough.
That barbed wire baseball bat, there's nothing good about that.
Jesus.
All the time,
I thought all that stuff was props.
I thought it was props too.
I'm like,
there's no way that's real thumbtacks.
They gotta be plastic.
No.
No way that's real barbed wire.
But when you hit a guy
with a barbed wire bat,
you're gonna hit him one time
and once again,
it doesn't hurt when you're out there
because the adrenaline's flowing, right?
But when you go back
and you've got barbed wire
in your head.
Y'all had to be on
more than adrenaline.
You had to be on something.
There's no way y'all would have...
No, I mean,
they didn't stick...
The barbed wire
didn't stick in you,
but it whacked you.
Yeah, when you're full...
When your adrenaline's running,
you'd be surprised.
How many medics
were backstage?
How many what?
Medics.
Ambulances.
Oh, they have...
They have two full-time doctors.
Just two?
Mm-hmm.
Had to be some cocaine involved, man.
Cocaine?
Had to be.
Not for me, never.
Really?
Some people just went out there sober?
You don't teach the kids about cocaine anymore.
Back in the 80s, yeah, it was very prevalent.
But I never hear of any cocaine use in our business.
I'm not saying they don't.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's certainly not done on the premises.
The wellness policy the WWE has is stricter than,
actually, it's probably stricter than the NFL.
Wow.
And I'm sure Tony has the same thing at AEW.
Mm-hmm.
They can't afford to have someone, you know.
Overdose and die.
Yeah, stuff like that.
Especially kids watching.
Absolutely.
Wow.
Well, Ric Flair, we appreciate you joining us.
Thank you so much.
I can't wait until we get a Ric Flair movie, man.
I know.
Guess what?
It's coming down.
Based off your book?
To be a man?
No, no.
I can't tell you anymore.
I just got the word.
The writer's strike is over.
Wow.
I can't say no more.
He can't say no more.
Wow.
Can't say no more.
