Starting point is 00:10:33 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.
Starting point is 00:10:48 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.
Starting point is 00:10:59 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.
Starting point is 00:11:09 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.
Starting point is 00:11:24 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.
Starting point is 00:11:38 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
Starting point is 00:12:03 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.
Starting point is 00:12:14 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
Starting point is 00:12:26 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.
Starting point is 00:12:33 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,
Starting point is 00:12:39 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
Starting point is 00:12:55 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.
Starting point is 00:13:22 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.
Starting point is 00:13:43 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
Starting point is 00:13:50 the BET's greatest rap crews of all time. Right. Right. Humble. They got Wu-Tang versus Death Row.
Starting point is 00:13:57 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.
Starting point is 00:14:06 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.
Starting point is 00:14:17 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.
Starting point is 00:14:48 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
Starting point is 00:15:06 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
Starting point is 00:15:32 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
Starting point is 00:15:43 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.
Starting point is 00:16:10 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.
Starting point is 00:16:27 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.
Starting point is 00:16:41 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
Starting point is 00:16:49 And then it's like uh-oh Yeah Yeah A lot of times Really? Yeah I feel like you Would have saved more money
Starting point is 00:16:57 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
Starting point is 00:17:03 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. After those runs, the conversations keep going.
Starting point is 00:17:43 That's what my podcast Post Post Run High, is all about.

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.
Starting point is 00:27:42 But what you have is what you got. And I'm going to stick by him. That's my dog.

Starting point is 00:29:40 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.
Starting point is 00:29:48 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.
Starting point is 00:30:04 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?
Starting point is 00:30:25 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.
Starting point is 00:30:31 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,
Starting point is 00:30:38 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
Starting point is 00:30:44 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.
Starting point is 00:30:52 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,
Starting point is 00:30:58 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.
Starting point is 00:31:09 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.
Starting point is 00:31:20 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.
Starting point is 00:31:33 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.
Starting point is 00:31:46 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.
Starting point is 00:31:57 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
Starting point is 00:32:06 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
Starting point is 00:32:15 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.
Starting point is 00:32:23 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.
Starting point is 00:32:52 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.

Starting point is 00:40:18 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
Starting point is 00:40:35 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
Starting point is 00:41:02 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
Starting point is 00:41:32 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
Starting point is 00:41:54 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.
Starting point is 00:42:12 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.
Starting point is 00:42:21 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
Starting point is 00:42:54 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.

Starting point is 00:49:23 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.
Starting point is 00:49:52 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
Starting point is 00:50:26 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
Starting point is 00:51:08 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
Starting point is 00:51:53 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
Starting point is 00:52:35 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
Starting point is 00:53:15 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
Starting point is 00:53:52 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
Starting point is 00:54:26 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
Starting point is 00:54:32 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
Starting point is 00:54:40 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.
Starting point is 00:54:50 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
Starting point is 00:55:10 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.
Starting point is 00:55:35 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.
Starting point is 00:56:07 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
Starting point is 00:56:47 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.
Starting point is 00:57:29 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
Starting point is 00:57:44 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***.
Starting point is 00:57:58 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
Starting point is 00:58:17 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.
Starting point is 00:58:32 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.
Starting point is 00:58:47 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.
Starting point is 00:59:01 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...
Starting point is 00:59:17 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.
Starting point is 00:59:36 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
Starting point is 00:59:46 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
Starting point is 00:59:54 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
Starting point is 01:00:03 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.
Starting point is 01:00:29 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.
Starting point is 01:00:39 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.
Starting point is 01:01:13 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
Starting point is 01:01:38 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
Starting point is 01:02:15 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.
Starting point is 01:02:33 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
Starting point is 01:02:56 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.
Starting point is 01:03:16 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.
Starting point is 01:03:30 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
Starting point is 01:03:56 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.
Starting point is 01:04:40 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.
Starting point is 01:05:07 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.
Starting point is 01:05:23 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.
Starting point is 01:05:52 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,
Starting point is 01:06:09 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,
Starting point is 01:06:15 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.
Starting point is 01:06:24 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?
Starting point is 01:06:49 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.
Starting point is 01:07:03 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,
Starting point is 01:07:15 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.
Starting point is 01:07:28 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.
Starting point is 01:07:39 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
Starting point is 01:08:04 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?

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?
Starting point is 01:18:14 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
Starting point is 01:18:53 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.
Starting point is 01:19:32 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
Starting point is 01:20:13 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
Starting point is 01:20:51 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.
Starting point is 01:21:36 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.
Starting point is 01:22:00 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?
Starting point is 01:22:24 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
Starting point is 01:22:50 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
Starting point is 01:23:01 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.
Starting point is 01:23:21 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?
Starting point is 01:23:40 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?
Starting point is 01:23:53 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.
Starting point is 01:24:09 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.
Starting point is 01:24:20 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.
Starting point is 01:24:35 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.
Starting point is 01:24:48 Okay. I don't know what race he is. I don't know what race he is. It's coming. It's coming. Whoa, it's coming? Just hold up a thumb if I think, if I think, if I think. Just hold up a thumb.

Starting point is 01:25:10 Eddie. With a strong E-R. No. So he's not black, actually. He's a nigger. He's a nigger. I was wrong. You were wrong, too.
Starting point is 01:25:18 That's not a ring. You were wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong.
Starting point is 01:25:20 I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong.
Starting point is 01:25:21 I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong.
Starting point is 01:25:21 I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong.

I'm trying not to say that word, but this is for research purposes. That's what he said. Oh, wow, Eddie. Kendrick, you sound white to me.
Starting point is 01:25:32 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
Starting point is 01:25:49 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.
Starting point is 01:26:01 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
Starting point is 01:26:15 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.
Starting point is 01:26:36 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.
Starting point is 01:26:49 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,
Starting point is 01:27:07 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,
Starting point is 01:27:16 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.
Starting point is 01:27:23 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?
Starting point is 01:27:41 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
Starting point is 01:27:59 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.
Starting point is 01:28:15 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
Starting point is 01:28:40 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.
Starting point is 01:29:10 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,
Starting point is 01:29:19 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
Starting point is 01:29:43 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
Starting point is 01:29:54 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,
Starting point is 01:29:59 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
Starting point is 01:30:08 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...
Starting point is 01:30:35 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.
Starting point is 01:30:52 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.
Starting point is 01:31:11 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?
Starting point is 01:31:28 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.
Starting point is 01:32:00 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.
Starting point is 01:32:22 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
Starting point is 01:32:39 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.
Starting point is 01:32:56 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?
Starting point is 01:33:10 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
Starting point is 01:33:28 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
Starting point is 01:33:58 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.
Starting point is 01:34:13 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!

Starting point is 01:39:48 and your favorite ghost host is back and badder than ever. Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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?
Starting point is 01:40:17 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.
Starting point is 01:40:39 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.
Starting point is 01:40:54 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
Starting point is 01:41:08 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
Starting point is 01:41:19 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.
Starting point is 01:41:26 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.
Starting point is 01:41:42 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,
Starting point is 01:41:58 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.
Starting point is 01:42:11 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
Starting point is 01:42:45 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.
Starting point is 01:43:18 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.
Starting point is 01:43:43 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,
Starting point is 01:44:02 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
Starting point is 01:44:29 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
Starting point is 01:44:38 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
Starting point is 01:44:51 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
Starting point is 01:45:18 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.
Starting point is 01:45:47 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.
Starting point is 01:45:59 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.
Starting point is 01:46:17 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?
Starting point is 01:46:30 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
Starting point is 01:46:47 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
Starting point is 01:46:54 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
Starting point is 01:47:00 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?
Starting point is 01:47:16 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.
Starting point is 01:47:36 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
Starting point is 01:47:59 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.
Starting point is 01:48:24 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.
Starting point is 01:48:55 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.
Starting point is 01:49:17 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.
Starting point is 01:49:36 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
Starting point is 01:50:01 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,
Starting point is 01:50:39 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.
Starting point is 01:50:50 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?
Starting point is 01:50:59 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.
Starting point is 01:51:04 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.
Starting point is 01:51:17 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.

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.
Starting point is 01:51:51 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
Starting point is 01:52:06 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
Starting point is 01:52:11 one year that was just one year the $500,000 was the most before that before that wow
Starting point is 01:52:18 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
Starting point is 01:52:25 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
Starting point is 01:52:53 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...
Starting point is 01:53:09 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.
Starting point is 01:53:23 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.
Starting point is 01:53:43 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.
Starting point is 01:54:01 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.
Starting point is 01:54:11 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
Starting point is 01:54:19 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...
Starting point is 01:54:27 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.
Starting point is 01:54:35 How many medics were backstage? How many what? Medics. Ambulances. Oh, they have... They have two full-time doctors. Just two?
Starting point is 01:54:43 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.
Starting point is 01:54:52 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.
Starting point is 01:55:09 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.
Starting point is 01:55:19 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?
