It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarion, Charlamagne, the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Before we get started, I see T.I. looking again. Last time he was here, we said that we didn't finish the wall.

Yeah. And we told the king that the new wall had him on it. Okay, I see me. Do you see yourself on the wall? Yeah, I see me on the wall. Okay, all right. You know, in 14 years, because everything on this wall is 14 years of Breakfast Club history, we had to figure out which version of T.I. was going to be on the wall.

I see you got dread. You got dread, that's right okay then all right how you feeling though i'm cooling it man what's up with y'all good can't call it i'd be wondering is dread ti more ti tip or uh clifford harris man yeah they're probably more mr harris okay yeah yeah it's a little it's a little it's a little evolved and elevated in the consciousness and all. Okay. So how do you feel with, because now that the evolved T.I.

is also the even more of a father T.I. because not only are you just a father, you have to be a father in the industry because all your kids are in the industry.

Man, damn. Yeah, that's, I didn't see that one coming. Really? Nah, I didn't. You know, because, I mean, to be honest with you, when Da Money,

when he first said he wanted to rap you know like he sucked but but but the thing is man i really i i really uh admire his dedication and commitment to the craft. Because, you know, I kind of told him what was wrong about it, and he committed to changing it. You know what I mean? And he's probably one of the most eloquent rappers I know right now. That generation love him. Yeah. He dope. What was he getting wrong?

Man, to be honest with you, man, all he was talking about was buying out the ice cream truck for everybody he was a kid you gonna get your ass kicked man you know you got you right now you rapping about a privilege that only you can enjoy this is something this is a life only you know about. You should be rapping about the things in your life that you have in common with other people who may not live like you. And then that's when he started, like, talking about weekends at a mansion and going to school from his mama house. And, you know, just, you know, growing up, you know, without a full-time father and you know just those types of things and when you start tapping into the elements of relation that's when you know it start clicking on a different level and now your youngest daughter which is i'm sure that that's the one you got to make sure she's

singing and she's successful people love her and i heard that you guys up here you know looking shopping deals and stuff no no no i'm not shopping no deal uh she's up here with her mom like her like for real i don't push the industry on none of my kids i really would love for them to do like like major he he just brought so much joy to my heart when he was like nah i don't want no parts of that i just want to he said he want to be an author like he wanted to like write books and do stories so that was like a relief for me but eris is under her mother's tutelage as a as a singer and a performer and she just she just dropped the song with van van well van van featured eris on her song and of

course you know van van is managed by the legendary mc Light. So, you know, it's a pleasure to work alongside that team. And Van Van works real hard. She's super dope. You know what I mean? She's a dope-ass MC at five. Wow. Yeah, I mean, so they got a record, and they went to the Tamra Hall show yesterday. I was just there for support.

So is it a house divided? Is it I don't want my kids in this business but the queen does oh yeah definitely um nah nah she definitely josephine jackson you know i don't like i really man i really just want the kids to be able to focus on being kids and developing all of the fundamental principles that they need in their life and their character but she like yeah yeah yeah they gonna have that too but they go they gonna do some work and I respect the fact that you know she wanted to work early I just know that this this game is unforgiving I mean but so far so good man you know King, man, I think he trying to get in the ring.

I see him boxing crazy. He want to be a UFC fighter or something. I mean, you know. When that happened. I mean, I was in the gym. Hey, man, he always been nice with his hands. I ain't going to lie. But, I mean, like. Who you get that from?

His daddy? His mama? Nah, I think, yeah, his mom definitely. Nah, I think really it was in his heart at first because all we did was turn him on to the principles of boxing. I put all the kids in boxing, Major included, Major, Messiah, Damani. But King was really the one that really, really, really wanted to work at it. He was going when we weren't going.

And he just has a love and a passion for it. And to be honest with you, I think, you know, if he decides to dedicate himself to it, it's something that he could thrive in if he took it seriously. So you used to box? Nah. Well, not... Not professional training in gyms? Nah.

Okay, okay. Picardio? I definitely... Nah, I boxed for survival. I've never played any organized anything. I ain't never played nothing but ride bikes to sell dope all my life. You never played basketball? Nothing.

Baseball? Any of them. Football? You find me in a damn uniform taking a picture for a team, man. I give you my Tesla Cybertruck. Damn it, man. Coming from the extremes you come from, do you ever want your kids to have some of that struggle in them? Is that necessary for them to have some of that? Well let king tell it he got he you know he he got it

out he got it out the mud man uh i mean now but i do i do see some of the the tenacity in king that i had you know i'm saying some of the the gotta make it no matter what type s***. He really pushing like he came out the welfare line. But I do want that for him, but I don't want to be there to see it. You know what I'm saying? I don't think it'll break my heart to see it, but yeah, I would. You know what I'm saying? If I could have fell asleep for about two, three years and then woke up, they were like, man, we glad you up, man.

We was struggling like a mother. God damn. And we ain't ate. You know, I think that would offer them some principles that would benefit them. And I think that, you know, that kind of s***, you can't teach that. Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying?

That kind of tenacity, that kind of die hard, you know, just resilience, you know, just resilience. You can't teach that. You know what I mean? All right, we got more with T.I. when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's the EJNV. Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with T.I., Charlamagne. When you lose people like OG Klay or even a capital for long, does that energy ever get filled in your life or is it a constant hold?

Man, it's definitely a constant hold. You just kind of get numb and you figure out ways to go about your day. I appreciate the things that are there more than I take notice of the things that are missing. That's the positive of it. It gives you a great appreciation for the things that are still present in your life and it makes you just just value the time just the presence and show you how precious life is how precious the the loved ones we have how short the time we have with them is but now you don't never like feel no holes you know the hole just grows and you learn to live with it you ever give

yourself the proper opportunity to grieve i mean what is the proper opportunity to grieve let's say if i said i gave myself an entire week who says a week is enough let's say i said a month who says a month is enough so you know what i mean like what is the proper opportunity you just go through your process you exist in that moment you don't try to run away from the feelings you feeling you know i'm saying you let yourself go through that process and you you present yourself as you are you know don't try to cover nothing up don't try to duck and hide from the pain that you feeling you just go through it you know i mean as you go through it you learn to live with it you think you'll ever tell your your full complete story like you because only you can

truly tell it you think you would ever tell it all not all nah i don't tell it all i think uh i tell as much as i feel would help and as much as I feel would be therapeutic to me but you know something man you know some things will never be spoken so there there is an intention to do a one-man show oh like how Mike Tyson did it yeah yeah yeah where I have opportunity to step out and not just perform music but to tell a story and have the music kind of incorporate as a part of a narrative. So, you know what I'm saying? I guess I'll tell you now. So that's what the stand-up was for.

Stand-up was to prepare me to stand up and speak for an hour or more in front of a crowd to know that I could do it. And as I get stronger in it now, I can evolve into my intention, which is a one-man show. And that's, you know, and I don't want to say a play, but. No, Mike Tyson was on Broadway. Yeah. I saw that myself.

That's dope. Yeah, so you know what I'm saying? So that's kind of where I see my performance going. I took a stab at it with the orchestra show that we did December 30th, which went phenomenally, by the way. So I see orchestra and me and story, in and out of songs, jokes. You know what I'm saying? And do that for about two and a half hours.

That's where I see my career going rather than jay going hopping around on rolling loud stages i just feel like that kind of calls on more of my my strengths and gifts than you know jay going and you know trying to go on tour with you know 21 savage and so on you know what i'm saying i just i just feel like that's more age appropriate for me alright but that's the lesson to be learned right cause that's why I don't judge

none of these rappers now because if you would've judged 20 plus years ago man please or Gucci or GZ any of these dudes

like look at what y'all are now how y'all have evolved how y'all grown as men God is good that's right now is comedy your number one love now

or is it still music man I really do love it you know I mean like I can't Right. Now, is comedy your number one love now, or is it still music? Man, I really do love it, you know? I mean, like, I can't tell. It's a different type of love, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's just like a son and a daughter, you know what I'm saying? I really do love it, you know? You know you love something when you do it for free.

You feel me? When you do it for free. I mean, I go and do comedy. I just go grab the mic and do that for free sometimes you know just because you know it feel good to me there's a peace and a sense of therapy there but that's also how you know you're rich you know okay that's what that means okay i mean touche but But yeah, man, I love that shit, bro. And the Ha Ha Mafia, we still out there putting in work, tearing down, we still tearing down stages and shit. I'm going to put together a time to do my special.

I'm going to do a special. That's going to be the one-man show? No, no, no, it's just going to be comedy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And we just shot 15 episodes of a stand-up series, which is sort of like, you know, Def Comedy Jam or so on and so forth. It's called Ha Ha Mafia in the Trap,

and we filmed it at the Trap Music Museum. It's like a host with three comedians, probably about a 30-minute episode. We did 15 of them. You feel me? We shot that independently. So, oh, we also had... 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 that's what my podcast post run high is all about it's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? 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.

There was a post that said the new generation of women don't ever cook breakfast because they don't wake up until 3. That's where this conversation is coming from. 800-585-1051. And we're asking, why do a lot of women don't like to cook? That's crazy waking up

at three is a crime that's right you on drugs you ain't brushing even this three on drugs you definitely have you sleeping till three o'clock and afternoon you know you want dope but when i was doing drugs i don't care i was still waking up at like 11 not three o'clock you know because sometimes drugs do make you a little tired depends what kind of drug though now you you ain't no drug just okay. I'm talking about drugs. Hard drugs. I feel you. I don't know what that's like. We're asking

800-585-1051. What are your thoughts? What do you think about that? I think it's crazy. I do agree that a lot more women feel that way. They have taken the approach like, okay, I don't have to cook. I'm so caught up in my career and work and everything, and I don't want a man to get in the wrong mindset about

me. Like, I'm not a homemaker. But baby, you literally can cook. How would you cook if you, how would you eat if you didn't have a man? You know, would you just go out every night? You know, because I started off with me cooking for myself, and then I had a child cook for him. I don't care. Every man that i've had i've

cooked for it is it's it's something that i like to do cooking is very therapeutic and then it's the way that i take care of myself it's like a survival thing i seen my mother do it i'm gonna do it i don't understand why it's like that yeah i don't know any women who don't cook like all the women that are in my life cook now are some of those women over 40 yeah you know but i know them in their 30s too and they enjoy cooking i don't know who these women are they speak of and then food is made with love envy like it's made with love so you can appreciate a home-cooked meal made by a woman you know what i'm saying more than you can at an end at a restaurant inn you know so I will say this

you know Charlamagne always jokes that we were born in the 1900s when me and my wife first started you know dating and we when we first got married we could only order out

two things you could only get pizza and Chinese food those are the only two things that would deliver so we had to cook she cooked every night that was the thing

poor New York yeah the same my wife always cooked too I mean my wife's dad you know one of his side hustles, he's a caterer. So she always knew how to cook. She was always, you know, in the kitchen. That's her thing.

We've been together 26 years. She's never not cooked. Yeah, I usually do the breakfast. My wife does the dinner. That's how it's always been. That's what Chris does. He cooks breakfast because I think that's probably the only thing he can cook. But he takes that on all the time.

He'll make breakfast. I make lunch. I make dinner. That's why I love to see like Ari Fletcher, Moneybagg Yo's girlfriend. She cooks. Well, wife. She cooks. I love to see young girls cook.

Like when they get it in the kitchen, I'm like, okay, girl, yes. Because you can still be fly businesswoman and still cook meals and it looks good. You think it's a regional thing? You think like more women that's like down south towards the southern regions? That's what they do? I think so. Yeah, I don't know. I think so.

Yeah. And I think a lot of the reason why is one, I think the food tastes better in the south. And I think up here, there's so many options. There's like, no lie, bodega and fast food spots on every corner. There's so much food around here where you can just get all over New York. So you can never, ever be hungry in New York. Yeah, but it ain't great. Yeah.

No. It's cool. You know what I'm saying? It ain't great food. I got you. Well, we got Jasmine on the line. Jasmine, good morning. Hello.

Hey, Jasmine. What's your thoughts? Yeah, so I feel like there's too much being put on women these days. Back then, women stayed home with their kids. Like, now times have changed. Like, we're working. We have businesses. We're also taking care of the household.

Like, we're just doing a lot more. I feel like as long as we're making dinner, like, I make dinner. I feel like as long as I make dinner, that's fine. I don't want to hear no complaints about breakfast. I get it. I get it. Thank you, Jasmine. Shout out to all the guys that ain't here.

Y'all don't want to hear no complaints about breakfast. Angie on the line. Angie, good morning. Hey, good morning. What up, though? What's up, Angie? Detroit, what's your thoughts? Yeah, yeah.

Detroit to Houston all day. So my thoughts on this topic. So I'm a mom and I'm a wife and I also work. I enjoy cooking. I just think that now in the current state and the current economic situation, moms is working 40 hours a week. So even if we do like to cook, and

I can speak to my own experience. I'm at work right now. I'm here at 7. I get off at 6, and then the expectation would be to cook dinner every single day. That's a lot. That's a lot. And sometimes men don't really understand that. My husband does because he would switch it up. But to go to work all day long and then come home and then cook

and then go grocery shopping, it's exhausting. I think you're making a lot of sense. But I don't know because I don't know about your mama. My mom used to cook every night. My mom worked 9 to 5. She'd be home, dinner ready by 6, 30, 7 o'clock every night. And it was like no choice. No choice.

My mother did too. My mother did too because my dad works afternoons. And to this day, I call my mom and I say, I don't know how she did it. And I'm very thankful. That was a different breed of person. But also, my mom didn't have to work. It wasn't required for her to have to bring

in money. Nowadays, it's a lot of 50-50 men that want you to bring in half. Now, my mama works. You have no... Hell yeah. My mama works. My mama works. Your mama.

My mama works. Now, my mama works. Not only that, if I go to my mom's house right now, I don't care what my mom's doing, she will stop and cook. That's exactly right. If I say, Mom, I'm hungry, she's going to stop and cook me a meal. You know what we should ask our parents? I bet you there's a question you never ask.

What's that? If you have a mom who worked 40 hours a week and came home and kept food on the table, what areas did she have to sacrifice in? Because there had to be some. Yeah. There had to be some areas she had to sacrifice in the relationship between her and your dad

in order to be able to do that. There had to be something. Well, you know, my mama, I don't know about y'all, but my mama had no life. There was no outside life Like she didn't go out With her friends

She always was home With us You really don't know How to speak My mama ain't had no life Like what She didn't have any life Outside of her family

And I'm sitting over here Like mine either I know Robin is probably Like excuse me No But for real My mama didn't go out She didn't hang out

With her friends No outside life She didn't It was always about her family. And those are questions that I think that we should all ask our parents because a lot of us don't know our parents before they were our parents. And you don't know the sacrifices they probably made to be your parent, to be somebody's wife, to be somebody's husband.

We don't ever have those conversations with our parents. I think we should. That's right. It'll give you a better understanding of what they went through and what we're currently going through now. That's right. All right. This is The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest

in the building. Yes, indeed. Former NFL tight end. He played for the Giants at one time. Ladies and gentlemen, Darren Waller. Good morning. Good morning, man. How you feeling? Great, man. Blessed to be here. Good at one time. Ladies and gentlemen, Darren Waller. Good morning.

Good morning, man. How you feeling? Great, man. Blessed to be here. Good, good, good. Happy to see you, brother. For folks that don't know, explain who is Darren Waller. You got a very interesting story.

Man, Darren Waller. That's something I'm still trying to figure out, man. Oh, I like that answer. Who I am, you know what I'm saying? I don't got a concrete answer. I'm somebody that's like I'm a creator. You know, I've been an athlete, but there's a lot of things that i want to do a lot of things i want to try and just uh continue to go on this journey now you started off uh how'd you get into the nfl for people that don't know

was it the usual way that most athletes do so far how did you get into the nfl break down your story a little bit um yeah uh from the beginning started playing football when i was four my parents just kind of threw me in uh seeing what I wanted to do. It was just a natural love for the game, but I wasn't really that highly recruited out of high school. Wasn't that really known in college. Got in trouble a lot. What school did you go to? What college? Georgia Tech.

Snuck into the late rounds of the draft, six rounds. I had a lot of character red flags at the time. From there, I started with Baltimore, then moved to the Raiders, where I spent most of my career, and then spent the last year with the Giants. Did you know you had character red flags at the time from there started with baltimore then moved to the raiders where i spent most of my career and then spent the last year with the giants did you know you had character red flags like you know because self-awareness is something a lot of people don't develop till later when they start doing internal work on themselves but did you know you had character red flags did they tell you you had them at the time i didn't believe i did i was putting the blame on everybody else and i was resentful at everybody else and thinking it was other people's

fault that why i was doing the things i was doing they didn't understand why I needed to do drugs and drinking like that so uh at the time I did not have that awareness no I read yeah I read that you went from drug addiction to grocery store clerk to NFL star yeah so um I went to rehab uh September of 2017 and uh right after I got sober when I got back home I moved in with my parents again and I was like I gotta get a job I get some structure to kind of get my life back in order and do that went to church my parents worked at Sprouts and I just got a job there working grocery clerk making the aisles look nice getting orders from the back stock in the back and I was there for

probably like seven months till I was like alright I kind of got my P's and Q's going for these drug tests and everything. I could get a chance to be reinstated into the league, so I started training again, and things just kind of went up from there. You said something that I want to expound on. You said you didn't know what led you to drugs. People didn't know what led you to drugs.

Yeah. What did lead you to drugs? Just a lot of wounds from when I was younger, man. Just feeling like I wasn't enough, feeling like I always had to overcompensate to please people or to look tough or have this you know tough exterior as a man improve myself and it was a lot of pressure a lot of anxiety and just wanted to change the way i felt i just wanted to have some peace in my life and i felt like that those kind of things brought that peace but it was kind of a counterfeit at the time you know it worked for a bit but in the end it ends up turning on you and um all those problems you think you're getting rid of by using are still

there when you wake up the next day when you come down from that high like it's still waiting on you to deal with and uh i was just putting stuff under the rug but um yeah that's kind of why i kind of got into that lifestyle you didn't have nobody to talk to when you was younger like your parents or i realize now how many people really wanted to help me and really wanted to be there for me but i just i don't know why i thought there was such huge walls between me and everybody else in my life that it was just you know and as men like i kind of grew up in that area where it was like you know rub some dirt on it don't don't really show your feelings we don't we don't cry you know we absolutely pick ourselves up by the bootstraps and keep it moving and uh i'm a product of that type of mindset not really working now what was what was so bad growing up as a kid like what was the bruises that you discuss of so the funny thing

is it wasn't anything like external environment um i grew up in a nice neighborhood everything i ever wanted from my family but it was more so like fitting in with people around me like around like people of my skin color was like i wasn't black enough and around white people it was like oh you're not really one of us but you kind of are one of us and i was like one of the only black kids that were in like the advanced classes at my school so i was like i don't feel black enough but i'm the only black kid in these classes when i was on a team with uh athletes and stuff i always felt like a nerd so it was like these environments where i was like damn i don't feel like i fit in or i can just show up as myself in these environments i always got to put this mask on or be somebody different that was that

explains a lot of the environment that I was growing up in. The first friends I made, like in my neighborhood growing up were white and, you know, a lot of dudes at my school and it was just cause they was outside playing ball, like riding bikes, like just doing stuff I like to do.

And, you know, kind of getting, you know, jokes made because of those types of things. And it's like, all right, I'm like,

I got to like find a way and growing up in the South, you know what I'm saying? Football is like religion down there and i was like okay i'm good at this this is going to get me the acceptance that i've always wanted now i was gonna say does it that do you still have those feelings now fitting in and in those situations now or uh i'm a lot more comfortable in my skin now i still have thoughts of like all right like i need to be successful and attribute that to my worth in some ways but it's a lot less uh present in my everyday thinking than it was ways but it's a lot less uh present in my everyday thinking than it was back then it's so interesting to hear you had this conversation because you said you're from atlanta you don't hear this about black people in atlanta black

people in atlanta it's like the total opposite they grew around they grew up around a bunch of black people black affluent people black people in positions of power elected officials police officers everything so it's just like wow wow. They're from Atlanta, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I say I'm from Ackworth, Georgia. It's 30 minutes outside of Atlanta. So people that's really from Atlanta in the inner city. I'm not from the inner city, but I'm from that area.

Got you. Now, recently you decided to retire from the NFL. Yeah. Now, you know, everybody- You're only 31, right? But everybody says you physically that you are still a beast, that you should not retire. But, you know, one of the top tight ends in the league.

What was the decision to say, you know what? I'm no longer want to do this. At the end of the day, I thought you got to evaluate your commitment level for the entire process. You know, there's certain things where I can look at it and be like, yeah, the results of what could be the yards, the, you know, successful seasons like they would look great and they would feel great. But as far as going through the whole process, putting the work in going through the entire season it's like i gotta be willing to put forth that commitment level for teammates for the organization and i don't feel like i can be able to do that anymore at this point in my life i feel like that passion has kind of passed on there's other things that i want to spend my time doing and you said you

had a near-death experience i read an article that said that yeah this past year it was weird man i was going uh we actually shot a video me my boy a rod and um i was coming back to my condo in jersey and i felt a fever coming on i had covid two times before that and i was like just have code we gotta sort it out and just thug it but uh i started to like lose consciousness and like i was like fighting for my breath when i got back to my condo and i called 9-1-1 and they finally made out what i was trying to say because i guess i wasn't speaking clear enough and i was just fighting for my breath when I got back to my condo and I called 911 and they finally made out what I was trying to say because I guess I wasn't speaking clear enough and I was just fighting for my breath till the paramedics showed up I think I kind of like passed out before they got there and they woke me up and I had like an oxygen mask on they took me into the hospital I was in there for

three days couldn't go to the bathroom on my own couldn't stand up like I had like a viral infection in my lungs or something so it was that was pretty wild it made me kind of think and reflect and be like all right like what am I doing with my life am i really doing what i want to do and at that time i didn't feel like i was really doing that i feel like i was doing things because i feel like i should be doing them so it was a viral infection that caused it yeah wow that's interesting so you clearly you didn't think football was your your purpose like it's hard to do anything if you don't feel like this is your purpose yeah you felt like you had to go find your actual purpose yeah i feel like in a in a way football did serve a purpose it did give

me the ability to you know find my voice to share through like my pain and my struggle to help other people through theirs and um it also showed me that through hard work and patience and just staying with the process i can be excellent at whatever i want to do because people were not checking for me for a long period of time in football you know just by sticking by sticking with the process, I was able to make a name for myself and be successful. So I feel like I could carry those principles to whatever I want to do. All right. We got more with Darren Waller when we come back.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess O'Leary, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with ex-NFL tight end Darren Waller. Now, I see you since retiring, you've been fiddling a lot with music.

Is that where you want to go next? You want to be a musician and artist? Yeah, I feel like there's definitely a journey for me there. You know, my great grandfather was a legendary jazz musician. And I loved music as a kid, playing piano, being in band. And I'm just kind of circling back to those things I loved as a kid. You know, just really want to go that route. I feel something like in a way like spiritually pulling me in that direction.

And so, you know, I don't have any expectations with it for real but uh i believe in myself and the growth that i'm having as an artist with the stuff i'm gonna be putting out so uh yeah something i want to definitely devote time to among a lot of other things i feel like you are looking for peace you want to you want to do things that bring you peace yeah if it don't make you happy you don't want to do it yeah man because it's like you know uh it's like a jim carrey quote out there he was like you know uh i wish people could get everything they ever wanted to realize it's uh not what's gonna give them that sense of fulfillment especially if you're doing things you know pertaining to somebody else's dream of success because i was like okay football like bam i get i get this money i have this longevity like i'm gonna be happy i'm gonna be fulfilled and it's still like i make it happen and it's still kind of like, I feel like there's still got to be more out there for me, you know.

So it's got to be something that's authentically aligned with me. And that's why I'm saying, like, I'm still trying to figure that out. Is that why you got the serenity tattoo? Yeah, man. You know, since getting sober, like, serenity prayer is like a big tool. That's right. As far as, like, going through my day, you know, because there's a lot of things that you've got to accept things as they are. God granted me serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Yeah, you wear yourself out trying to change things that you can't, man. So it's something that I try to carry to everything I do. Now you talk about peace. So what gives Darren Waller peace? What puts you in your happy place if it's not football anymore? I would say being in nature, man. As a kid growing up in Atlanta, there wasn't really no mountains around. You got Kennesaw Mountain and Stone Mountain. They're really just like hills though. But going out to a place like Vegas and going to places like Utah, Colorado, like being in nature, like those things really, I feel like get me closer to God than anything else. Making music like i feel like i've missed out a lot you know like for the fourth i'll be going to my first

family function with all the extended family since before i got sober i was almost seven years ago because it's always when i'm training or getting ready for training camp so you ready for that though because you know it's gonna be a bunch of oh man you why you retiring man what's up man yeah man but it's still give me tickets yeah there's a lot of that but But yeah, it's just like getting people to see me as I am now. Football is always going to be a part of me. It has been a major part, but there's more to my story. I still got God willing 60 more years to live, so there's more chapters to be told. I want you to go back to the nature part because I write books.

So in my new book, which is called Get Honest or Die Lying, I have a chapter called Tree Hug the Block. And it's literally about how we need to get reconnected to nature because i grew up in south carolina i'm from the south so i grew up running around on the dirt road running to the cornfield running through the woods you know actually looking up at the sun walking around barefoot so i was doing grounding and earthing because before i even knew what that was so talk about just that connection to nature and how important that is for your mental and emotional well-being yeah man for me just being outside being in nature is something that uh it allows me to see like where i stand like in the grand scheme of things like being around like mountains and things like that

it's like i'm in awe of god's creation realizing like i'm a part of this world like i have something to give but at the same time like not taking myself so seriously um but yeah also being in nature it's like i feel like that's what our ancestors did that's what we all did like and just being out there just getting outside of yourself being able to enjoy the beauty of the world around you affect your mindset and help you live with more gratitude you've made a lot of uh real big life choices lately right you retired from the NFL and then you got married last year to uh Kelsey Plump yep star Las Vegas Aces point card but then you filed for divorce a year later. What happened? Man, you talk about get honest or die lying.

You kind of got to look at yourself and realize, all right, what role am I playing that all the relationships in my life have always had the same patterns? And it kind of plays into everything else I was mentioning earlier, like the codependency aspect of anything. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this.

Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.

Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.

I feel like I got to, you know, dance or do a certain thing for, to keep this person around, you know,

almost like a tying myself worth to the success of a relationship. And you realize how much you lose yourself in doing the things that you love and that take care of you on a daily basis, making this person kind of like the center of your universe and how unhealthy that is for everybody involved. You know what I'm saying? So realizing that, realizing the impact that it was having on me and, you know, as far as making decisions that were authentic for the life that I wanted, these are things that I couldn't say 100% yes to. You have certain conversations and realize there's so much life ahead of both of us. know might as well just go ahead and uh and live it and uh move on with no type of hostility

you didn't think that like before marriage like before you proposed and before you got married like you didn't have that conversation with yourself yeah i like i like to think that i did but there's certain situations like uh kind of like i said earlier where i didn't really have that self-awareness um that's that spreads into other areas of my life as well, where I'm like, okay, I thought I was ready to have a commitment like that and be involved. But really, it's like there's a part of me that's like, okay, the pursuit, the chase, the building of it

seem more appealing of than when things get extremely difficult and the same patterns continue to come out. And it's like, bro, at the end of the day, you got to heal, bro, because the same things are going to continue to happen i saw will smith say recently he said uh it's impossible to make somebody else happy yeah he said you have to have happiness right she has to have happiness right and then y'all come together exactly you know is that that what it was you think uh absolutely man i feel like in

a way there's there was a reliance of me on the relationship to give me something that, of course, I needed to come to the table without that extra baggage and with that healing already in place. And I didn't. What was harder to do, retire from the NFL or get a divorce? I think both men, both are difficult. You know, both are, you know, a part of who I am. Things that meant a lot to me at the time and to have them both happen at the same time. It's like, you know, a lot of emotions. You got to process a lot of talking, a lot of writing, a lot of time being spent time and to have them both happen at the same time it's like you know a lot of emotions you got to process a lot of talking a lot of writing a lot of time being spent reflecting and being by yourself and uh that's real life stuff man because i've had a lot of uh success a lot of great moments in my life but these are this year has been one that has really forced me to look in the mirror and and dig deep and to um express myself in ways that are healthy and just

really get to you know i'm saying who is darren waller at the core without all these things that i try to reach for for you know fulfillment or validation now you did a song called who knew yeah now that was in dedication to the situation relationship so yeah so i had an idea as we were winding down and separating that um i was like okay like i keep finding myself in these positions these same patterns and i had this idea of like if ever if the if the girl that i was in relationship with because like i mean you can look at her and say like she's the public one that people can know that i was with but that's the same pattern of a lot of relationships that i've been in it's like if they had the pen and would write me a song what would they say and so it's like you know you're taking a risk making a song like that it's very very vulnerable very different

than anything i've ever made before but uh you know i try to make stuff that's authentic to me where i'm at you know just put myself out there take risks did you hear the song what was her thoughts on the song did y'all speak after or uh nah that was after uh yeah ain't really been no discussion tell y'all don't speak at all y'all don't communicate or have conversations at all it's no it's the rap yeah i mean you're saying the song you know why you want to run away why can't you just stay so was it something you was trying to keep together uh so it's really the song is like her perspective so it's from the perspective of the woman that's been in a relationship with me. So she's like, why do you keep running?

Like really speaking to me. I love this perspective, man, because men a lot of times don't take accountability for our bull. Yeah. You try to project and put it on the other person for you to be like, no, it ain't you. It's me. Right. Sometimes a lot of dudes say that just when they really want to be out here

doing some BS, but you really knew you had to go do the internal work. Yeah, it's a lot of work on my behalf for me to try to look at somebody else and focus on them when there's plenty of stuff on my side of the street

that I got to clean up. Yeah, that's not what men do. That's not the example that we trying to set. So I'm out here trying to do better just like everybody else is. Was it therapeutic to do that record? to clean up. Yeah, that's not what men do. That's not the example that we trying to set. So I'm out here trying to do better, just like everybody else is. Was it therapeutic to do that record? Yeah, absolutely.

It was definitely a good way to express myself and to have empathy not only for her, but everybody that I've been in a relationship with and to honor them as I go forward and try to change my ways, change my thinking and heal myself. What do you say to people, especially a lot of guys who'd be like Darren you fumbled Kelsey because they like Kelsey they

think it's beautiful yeah do you feel like you fumbled her not really man in a lot of ways I feel like man was that even really for me to pick up in the first place as approaching a relationship in wanting to speed through things you know make a connection happen quickly with some of the things I talked about earlier it's like you look at it and it's like, hmm, like, was that even for me? So you can talk about fumbling or whatever. That's not really anything I try to think about. All right, we got more with Darren Waller when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Shalameen the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with ex-NFL tight end Darren Waller. I do want to ask about the NFL. I do see sometimes players in the NFL that play sports get addicted to things easier. And I was going to ask, is that to take away the pain? Is that to take away the feeling, the trauma, the hurt, the crowd, the fan? Is that why you feel like some of that addiction came from? Yeah. So like mine started really early. But if you're talking like in the general population of guys in the league um yeah there's an insane amount of pressure on you on a day in day out you know just to perform at your job or somebody's gonna take your place um you know people are gonna

talk crazy about you if you're on the internet and so people just want that relief you know i'm saying like i i never sit out none of these guys ever set out to be addicts or to be people that abuse substances but they're just like man i just want to change the way that i feel give myself some sense of peace when i get home because it's a stressful day it's a stressful career and i just want some relief so that's why i feel like guys kind of get started down that path without even having bad intentions you know what i'm saying does the league uh try to help the players when they're going through things because i mean it has to be difficult like you said the pressure i mean the pain to you know to play through it do they offer services to help players or not too much or a lot um yeah they offer services like the teams that will offer like pain management like you got

massages you got needles i'll talk about mentally but yeah they have um they got team counselors like team clinicians that are available for guys um some guys use them some guys don't um but there's a lot of guys that are leaning more towards having therapists outside of the building um so they can kind of just like cut that tie from having it with the team um like even when i went to rehab like the league paid for there was like a guy that was like a case manager for me who was calling my phone blowing my phone up just like seeing how i was doing what i needed so um they definitely really helped me and i feel like whenever guys are like willing to like

okay like i want to help myself then they can take advantage of the resources at hand is the reason they don't want to use the team counselor because they don't trust them like i don't want to share too much information with them because they might take it back to the yeah they're they're a lot of there are a lot of guys that feel that way of like yeah i don't know if this is going to go back to the team and the team says like that that's not going to happen but you know it's like you know as men it's like in especially in this hyper masculine environment of football it's like if i show any sign of weakness other teams people across me are going to try to take advantage of that i don't feel safe to share that here and you know that's that's a legit emotion what's

been the most effective healing tool i would say meditation played a huge role for me you know making that a daily part of my routine it kind of of gives me like a space, like a pause when it comes to moments where it's time to make decisions in my day to day life. A lot of times where I would make bad decisions, it was kind of like I was just reacting to things super fast. Whereas meditation kind of gives you that pause to allow you to be like, OK, like we take a deep breath. Is this really what I want to do? And like it gives you an opportunity to evaluate your decisions more so i feel like that's something that definitely gave me a jump to uh to start along with other things but uh that was probably one of the first ones learning that it was just like wow like i really have a chance to sit here and not just have the world just have me blowing about in the wind and the storms that come on a day-to-day like

i can actually like stand firm and make decisions I want to make. What about your foundation, the Darren Waller Foundation? Yeah, man, that's a decision that, like I talked about the league giving me an opportunity to go to treatment for free. And it's like through getting sober, I kind of realized like my world is a lot better, a lot more full when it's just bigger than me.

I'm doing a lot of being able to do things for other people. And so through my foundation, we are able to give people scholarships to go to treatment for 30 days and also have like sober living opportunities, just opportunities to get back on their feet. And we've sent like 60 people through 30 day stays and that number is continuing to go up,

continuing to build resources in the Vegas community. Just, you know, trying to give people opportunity because I mean, I didn't know that I'd be able to have the impact that I've been able to have in my life back when I was kind of stuck in that hole. And all you got to do is impact one person because through me being impacted, a lot of other people will be able to be helped. So it's just like giving that person a chance.

Absolutely. All right. Well, Darren Waller, ladies and gentlemen. Do you believe there's a script that owners and refs are a part of? The outcome of games? Because that's been a thing that we've been hearing. And you're retired now. I don't know if you plan to go back.

But feel free to spill any secrets that you know. Is there a script? Keep in mind, he's a Cowboys fan. I just want to throw that out there. I don't believe in a script. Because I believe if there was a script, Cowboys would have been Super Bowl champions at least three or four times over the last 24 years. Yeah, the Cowboys are way too talented to not have won one year, in my opinion. And make too much money. Forget the talent. I'm just saying, if there a script you don't think jerry jones would pay to win a super bowl i don't know man i don't know if any

script uh if i had a script man i would have had one that had me at least win one playoff game in my career but uh but yeah no i don't know if any script and now out of the three teams you play for the ravens raiders and giants which which was the best organization for you? Man, in a way, they all were, to be honest. The Ravens taught me being with the Ravens taught me a lot of hard lessons, really forced me to grow up in a lot of ways. And, you know, that last year being there on the practice squad, it gave me the tools and the work ethic to be able to sustain the level of success that I did once I got it. So I'm grateful for that. But the Raiders had all the great memories, man, like the great seasons, just like the guys that form relationships with coaches that I had. That was the fun ride.

But, I mean, I had a blast with the Giants this last year too, man, like all the coaches and the guys in that locker room, man. I had a great time, and my decision to retire had nothing to do with my time there you know we uh I had a great time with them and uh wish them nothing but the best but if you had if I had to pick one it'd probably be the Raiders for sure I mean that's where my career took off my life changed I was able to do things for my family for the community through just having a chance that they gave me so you know you're completely done with football like you just yeah really yeah thousand percent wow you're not gonna miss nothing about the game or oh no that that the game is always going to be something i hold in high regard and love and uh i'll miss that locker room

environment you know i'm saying being in there with those guys and just cutting up man just uh and and walking through the struggles together because it's like you know you might go out there and get your ass whooped on a Sunday, but those moments where you're in there picking guys up in the locker room and standing firm when a lot of people may be pointing fingers and doing that, but as men, you kind of lock arms and walk through life. Those are cool moments, man. Those are moments that a lot of people don't get to experience, so I'll definitely miss those.

I'll miss playing. You know, you get a rush from making a big play, making a difference in the game, but, you know, I can get that feeling in a lot of other ways now and just ready to move on. We'll see when the season starts. We'll see when you're sitting at home watching on Sunday if you get that itch. Yeah, we'll see. That's what I don't believe. I don't believe a person's truly retired until they can watch it and be like, okay, I'm good.

For sure. All right. Well, it's Darren Wall. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Time for Donkey of the Day. It's a read, but you're so good at it. You're trying to be a fake-ass Charlemagne.

There's only one Charlemagne to go. Damn, Charlemagne. Who you giving Donkey of the Day to now? Well, Sexy Red, I'm in here multitasking. Hold on, let me do this last. I'll be in here autographing thousands of books by hand. Donkey of the Day goes to a man named George Sandoval. George is apparently 6'5 and 400 pounds.

Morbidly obese, okay? Those details are important for this story because George put hands on someone. Now, if someone's 6'5, 400 pounds put hands on you, it's probably going to leave a mark. If they can catch you. If they can catch you and put hands on you, they're going to leave a mark.

And that's exactly what George did because he gave a young woman named Monique larlos a black eye now i know what you're thinking you gotta hear both sides well let's go to ko ko mo news for the report please whoa did you see that a subway manager in madera was punched in the face thursday evening and the man had to be tackled by a customer and employees to get him to stop. I do not expect this. He comes around the corner. I go, what are you going to do, hit me over ham? And he hit me. He punched me.

All I could remember is just black. General Manager Monique Larios says she was called into work that day by her employees saying, this man was mad because he didn't get double ham on his sandwich. Even though the store had proof he only paid to have six extra slices of meat, not 12. But that issue escalated to this. I still can't feel half of my face. I can't feel nothing. I'm scared that there's going to be some kind of damage permanent. I've never been so numb to where my face feels like it's a mess, you know? Madera police officers say they arrested George Sandoval, the man who they say hit her that night for battery.

Mario says she never stood a chance. I'm 4'11". This guy was 6'5", 400, almost 400 pounds. Big back, big back, big back, big back. 6'5", 400 pounds. How many people did it take to bring this man down? Whenever I'm in Subway, it's only a couple of folks. Okay.

How many people did it take to bring down this 65, 400 pound man? And why was he at Subway? He know he wanted to be at Golden Corral. This man paid to have six extra slices of ham, but he wanted 12. This is yet another reason why you shouldn't be eating pig. Okay. No pork on my fork. If it's swine, I won't dine. Deuteronomy 14, 8 says you shouldn't be eating pig okay no pork on my fork if it's swine i won't dine deuteronomy 14 8 says you shouldn't touch the flesh of a dead pig nonetheless

eat it and this is an example why not really but in this era we can make two plus two equal five so why not don't eat ham because it will lead you to punch random women in the face when you don't get enough of it now i also want to tell people out there stop telling insane people what they won't do you do realize 90 probably 95 of being crazy is doing what other people say you shouldn't do so when a guy comes around the counter at a fast food restaurant you have to just assume that nothing good is about to happen immediately you should start doing what you need to do to protect yourself but for some reason monique says she did not expect this maybe she's young and still believes in humanity give her some time with age and experience you too will start to see and expect the worst in people monique said to the

man what are you going to do hit me over ham yes monique that's exactly what a crazy human will do what do you think he came around the court to for? And when you say things like that to them, what are you going to do? Hit me over a hand? You're giving him a bright idea. He probably walked around the counter not knowing exactly what he wanted to do. He just wanted more ham. And you told him what not to do. And in typical crazy fashion, he did it.

That's what being crazy is. Doing what people say you won't do. What makes this story even worse is she was off. She was called in the work that day by her employees who said a man was mad because he didn't get double ham on his sandwich. I would fire every single one of those employees. If she got the power to fight him, she should fight him all. You had to call me in because a person wanted extra meat on this sandwich. You couldn't handle that yourself. This is why i can't work fast food okay i used to work at taco bell back in the day worked there for two weeks before my sister fired me okay because if

someone wanted extra meat on this sandwich i wouldn't give a damn you can have it okay if you want more of this genetically modified meat then bon appetit okay i'm not about to argue with nobody over their fast food order. The customer is always absolutely right in the fast food world. These fast food restaurants not dying for you. You want more ham here. This poor girl says she still can't

feel her face. Okay? Half of her face she can't feel. Says she can't feel nothing. She's scared there's going to be some kind of permanent damage. She says she's never been so numb to where her face feels like a mask all of that over some black forest ham no man let george who is six five four hundred pounds morbidly obese if he wants the pork let him have it into the big back brigade the wide tang clan listen to me This just reinforces the stereotype that fat people have no control over themselves.

You don't have control over your eating habits. You don't have control over your emotions. You don't have control over the jiggling, the walking side to side. What do you want? Why are you looking at me like this? First of all, just drop one of the clues, Bob, for Big Mac. I don't even know how you snuck in here. He didn't sneak.

Too big to sneak anyway. How tall are you, Mac? Six, four and a half, six five. How much do you weigh? A metric ton. What the hell is a metric ton? A thousand pounds. You don't weigh no damn.

A thousand pounds. You right. Like 943. Man, how much do you weigh for real? I'm in the fours. Did they catch this guy? Oh, yeah. George Sando43. Man, how much you weigh for real? I'm in the fours. Did they catch this guy? Oh, yeah. George Sandoval.

Never mind. Okay. Listen here. First off, okay, you can go to hell, all right? Because when I saw the story, I knew for a fact that Charlamagne was going to accuse me of this. Okay? Because you have a thing about fat people, all right? I don't.

You have a weightism, all all right you have a weightism all right you have a problem second off as the president of fat lies committee um we are highly upset and we just want to apologize to this woman okay because here uh in the fat lies we have street mentality women and children are off limits okay i. As far as eating them. Huh? As far as eating them. I understand swinging on somebody for this type of situation, but women and children are off limits. You don't swing on women. Who puts 12 pieces of ham in their mouth? First, and that's what I was going to say.

Just so y'all know out here, I told you, big backs are fighting back. I know how many slices of cheese, how many slices of meat that are on all my... When I go to Wawa and I get a meatball sub, I make sure I count every one of the meatballs. If you don't put the six in the classic, that's the big roll. If you don't put all six in there and fill it up, I make sure you cheat me on one. Now, like I said,

women and children are off limits. And I have no way to encourage that, but I'm telling y'all, ever since that show in the 90s, my brother and me, when he said hit me you so bad hit me and what happened I got hit stop telling people to hit you stop stop telling crazy people what they want right because crazy people don't have street mentality them rules that's why I be using reverse psychology with you I'll be like I bet you I bet you can't

eat that I bet you won't eat that no I'll be like I bet you can can't eat that. I bet you won't eat that. No, I'd be like, I bet you can resist that. What? That's what I do. Does it work? I don't know because I don't even know what I just said. But you know what I'm trying to say. I'd be trying to use reverse psychology on him.

Like, I'll see him wanting to eat something, and I'll be like, I bet you can't resist that. And it don't really work all the time, but I'm so competitive that I don't want to lose. So I go through a moral thing where it's like. You don't want to lose what? Weight? We know that. Both actually sometimes. Sometimes it's the weight,

but sometimes I don't want to lose the challenge when you try to tell me I don't want to eat. Exactly. When y'all have all that free food over there. That's right. There'd be a whole line of people in line and telling me the first thing is, whoa, Matt, relax.

I'd be like, Matt, I bet you're going to eat all of that. And then I see that, Mac, relax. I'd be like, Mac, I bet you're going to eat all of that. And then I'd see that. That's what I'd do. I'd say, Mac, I bet you're going to eat all of that. And he gets in his head, and he'd be like, I bet you I won't. Got to reverse psychology with him. I know we don't have much time, but was he white or black or Asian or? You want to play a game?

It don't matter. Guess what weight he is. He was fat. Please give George Sandoval the biggest, and I do mean biggest. Hee-haw. Charmaine, I swear there's going to be short people doing some things out here, and I'm going to bring all them stories here, and I hope you report with the same energy.

Short people up. Drop on the clue bomb for Kendrick Lamar. That's the problem. Pip Squeaks is up. They only get up when they have step stools. Pip Squeaks is up. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?

Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

I try to give separation for both to give a little bit here and a little bit on stage. So that's what I do now. That's why I ain't telling too much of it. But I do talk about it on stage. Actually, it kind of pushed my standard more because it left the elephant in the room. I ain't had no choice but to be on. I was in a wheelchair. Was you there when I was there?

Yeah. Because D.C. had rolled you up in a wheelchair and everything. Yeah, yeah. So a lot of people showed me love. Matter of fact who gave me the most love with them handicapped people like my first show like 30 handicapped up front in wheelchairs and they they spoke life to me and everything welcome yeah no i'm talking about they like when i was messed up like they was dming me telling me i because i always showed love to them on social media and like oh and like in jacksonville and stuff so when my time came they came anding me telling me I because I always show love to him on social media and like oh and like in

Jacksonville and stuff so when my time came they came and showed me love like I Support anybody that's in the wheelchair cuz it take a lot just to get up and just to get in that chair Just every day. I don't see how they do it cuz I couldn't do it for six months. I was going crazy That's good. You be shouting out the Crips now, but you ain't talking about well I shout out the Crips not the gang you be talking about the people. Well, I shout out the Crips. Not the gang. You be talking about the people in the wheelchair. Oh, yeah. Shout out wheelchair gang. As you should.

Do you feel good though? Nah, I feel good, man. Like I said, Clay instilled life into me told me I was gonna make it and then the last day I got off my crutch

and he went over. So he made it all the way to get me back on my feet and then went on over. That's crazy. That's life, man. No, that is life like the last picture clay posted with me you him and J ski that's crazy it was almost like a movie like he was really just enough for me to get gone get back on my feet it was dope though I mean it was it's a

beautiful thing but it's just I had to go through it you know I'm saying so I don't regret nothing I went through how do you find comedy in that though it's just I had to go through it you know what I'm saying so I don't regret nothing I went through how do you find comedy in that though it's life everything in life is comedy you know what I'm saying the most powerful comedy is the stuff that you went through the most the hardest things you went through the most so that's comedy I don't see having good comedy without

hard shit yeah I really feel like you are one of the few people who make anything funny or even if it ain't funny to other people. That's why I'm telling you, I didn't believe you either. Me neither. That's why I ain't taking it serious. And the audience was laughing like nobody believed me.

And the funny thing about it, like I told him, I was like, when have I ever made a, like I don't do those, you know how people be out and making fun of people? Yeah. I don't never do no comedy like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when people thought it was a joke, I was like, how y'all thought it fun of people yeah i don't never do no comedy like that so for when people thought it was joke i was like how y'all thought i ain't never did no spoof like this i guess because we don't really take nothing serious which is which is we don't do not i don't and i get it that's why i didn't take it personally i don't take none of that stuff personal but it's just like i was like damn why how could they even think that i was joking and

i'm mad maybe because I was doing it myself. I was really bleeding to death right there. I'm like, they don't know I'm really dying. But you know the funny part is people think Duval be joking, but a lot of the ways he moves is how we should live in life. A lot of us take on other people's problems. I sent him something the other day, and I was like, man, look what this person going through. He didn't respond back.

So yesterday we started talking about something. I said, yeah, but you ain't say nothing about such and such and he was like because i didn't give a and i was like he right i want to say something but i i end up saying their name so i ain't gonna say it no don't say please don't please don't you've been in comedy for 25 years yeah this is my 25th year man this and that's that's really not a lot in comedy. It's just, I think somebody like Cedric and Bruce and them, they've been doing it for like,

damn near 40, 50, how long? I think even Mike Epps, shout out to Mike Epps, he's been doing it at least about 40. Nah. Right, 40?

If I've been doing it 20, wait, I was a kid watching them. You know what I'm saying? So Michael Blackson been doing it longer than me. We didn't realize

how old they was when we was young, though. No. How young they was when we was young. I've been doing it longer than me. We didn't realize how old they was when we was young, though. No. Or how young they was when we was young. I've been doing it 25 years, 99. Mike ain't nothing but like 50-something. Yeah, 50. I don't know, Mike.

Mike like 50-something, but he been doing it a long time. 53. For 25 years, sounds like a long time, but it really not in comedy, guy. Yeah, it is. You know what I'm saying? It's really not. But it's part of life. I love it.

Do you care about the type of jokes you make at this point? Nope. I makes whatever I feel like what goes I don't well my standards more so entertaining like I call I call myself Sammy David Duvall So I do more than just stand up. I do stand-up comedy Entertainer lab day. I'm gonna do everything in my yeah And that's why I feel like the evolution of of people. Like, we don't want to just sit there and just watch stand-up. We think we do, but we really don't.

Like, you'll sit there and watch six comedians and everybody doing 25 minutes a piece. That's like three hours. You're going to be asleep if they ain't doing some type of entertaining thing.

So that's why I understood. So I implement that in my show and keep them going. So it's your fault all these comedians started making songs. He's saying that because he texts me that every them going. So it's your fault all these comedians started making songs? He's saying that because he texts me

that every week. See, it's your fault. See, it's your fault. Every time somebody do something, that's you.

That's you. I mean, I am, I guess, but it's part of it. We're going to see more and more of it. It's just,

I'm the only one that actually perfected it and then took it to another level that made a hit song, but I see people like DC Young Fly. All they need is one song and it's going to take them to that next level.

You know what I'm saying? All right, we got more with Lil Duval. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Lil Duval.

Charlamagne? You've been enjoying the Drake Rick Ross feud, though. Yeah, I love it. I love it. It was better than when J. Cole, because I was really rooting for J. Cole's, man. But then why? Why not? Because I knew they wasn't going to die.

I knew it wasn't going to be no beef. But I didn't think Cole and Kendrick even had an issue to want to even go at each other like that. They did. You could tell. Like, if you look back at the old stuff, they had like a little competition. So that was good enough.

Like, it was lyrical warfare. And then this tapped out after you like they was it was lyrical warfare and then this tapped out after you gave him it was cool like even it was i don't know how recent that interview was with kendrick with big boy but he was like man it was competition it was like it was like i mean i i don't have no beef with him i just don't think he better than me well rap beef is different though like you can't really have a friendly rap competition. Yes, you can. Yeah. Not nowadays. Yes, you can.

They just proved it. So you really thought Kendrick and J. Cole were going to come heads up? No, but J. Cole was boring. J. Cole was just so whack. I was enjoying it. And he was lying. He didn't believe none of that stuff he was saying. Half the shit be lying.

So you, I enjoy the, so you thought all the what's name was saying was real, what Tupac was saying was real? Yes. No, you didn'tac was saying was real? Yes. No, you didn't. Well, I did, too. Yeah, I did, too. I did, too. But I was a kid.

We were supposed to believe it. Just like wrestling, you're supposed to believe that it's real until you get older. Yeah. Now I can enjoy it. I can enjoy it like these n****s not going to die. But that's why Ross is so entertaining, because Ross comes from a certain era. Yeah, Ross was actually good. And Drake got a lot of that in him.

I mean, I think Ross gave a real, like, beef response. And it was quick. That's why you gotta give his props. Like, we still ain't heard Kendrick yet. And that's what I'm rooting for. Kendrick on the clock. I got f***ing with Kendrick. He's dark-skinned.

He's a Gemini. Y'all the same. He might f*** that. He ain't the same. He ain't the same. That's why I do. I'm trying to think. When I met him, was he?

Nah, he ain't. Nah, I know where everybody I'm taller than. I know where everybody I'm taller than. Y'all know where everybody he's taller than. It's not that many people. Nah, I'm taller than think. When I met him, was he? Nah, he ain't. Nah, I know who everybody I'm taller than. I know everybody I'm taller than. Y'all know everybody he's taller than. Yeah, I know everybody. It's not that many people. Nah, I'm taller than everybody that's short. Everybody that's short, I'm taller than.

I'm the tallest. I'm taller than Kev. I'm taller than who else short? You're taller than Kevin? Yeah, I'm taller. Who else short out here? That's on YouTube. You can look on YouTube and see.

We went back and forth with that one. That was about 10, 15 years ago. 15? Long ago. About 15. Everything you done seen viral now, we done done it 15 years ago 15 long ago everything you done seen viral now we done done it

that's what I got when I went to Baltimore. I got to do that dance too when I come on stage. What's that shit y'all be doing? The two step, Parkite Strut. Yeah,

I got to do that shit. Parkite Strut. It came from a hood in Parkite. Yeah, so I got to do that. Now I got to do that y'all, that y'all call something else.

We call it the city boy, but y'all call it something else. Y'all do like that. Oh my God, my little sister be doing that. It ain't nothing but the city boy that y'all call something else. We call it the City Boy, but y'all call it something else. Y'all do like that? Oh my God, my little sister beat that. It ain't nothing but the City Boy that y'all done renamed. Wayne, I don't know.

I got it from Baltimore too, so I don't know. Yeah, I know Baltimore. We talked about it on social media. We went back and forth about it, but we go there this weekend with the We The Ones tour. That's a hard ass tour, man.

We all doing that thing. It's you, Mike Epps, Chico, Carlos, DC, D-Ray. Yeah, and we selling out too. And we all showing love. Like everybody, ain't no egos. Everybody doing their thing. We all encouraging each other. I like that.

If anything, I'm the one doing the most. You know what I'm saying? Like I have to shorten my time up because I really be doing too much. But it is disrespectful as a comedian like you don't want to go over your time especially when you got so many comedians on there it ain't about being the funniest it's just when you're going over your time three

minutes don't sound like a lot but it really is a lot if you got five other comedians and that last person going up he got to wait because I have to go up last sometime too and I hate going last too so you want to be respectful for that but all in all we all doing if I go over too much then mike might might shorten his time or chico or somebody like that so we all doing our thing somebody died at the shore i ain't talking about that he want to

go straight to that i knew i was doing that oh my god yeah we doing our thing man is it a comedian that you uh that you hate going after, though? Mm-mm. No? I can go after. People don't like going after me. But anybody that go after me, they doing their thing. That's why I show love to DC.

Like, all the new comedians. Well, they not even new number, but all the ones that came up after me. The younger ones. Yeah, the younger ones. If they can go up after me, they the truth. And all them go up after me, and they all do their thing. Yeah. You wanted to, you know, people would be wondering how you stay so relevant on social media,

but you were the social media guy early, early, early, early. Yeah, we all was. You was, too. You know what I'm saying? We all was. It's just, we grandfathered in that, so there ain't no stopping me on social media. You can try. They done deleted me so many goddamn times.

It is what it is at this point. How has social media helped you as an artist? Just like anything else, it's just another form of way of doing entertainment, just another outlet. So I just took that outlet and capitalized off of it. Just like whatever next. If I give a, I'ma jump on that too. But I'm getting older now, you know what we done talked about.

Is there anything you wanna do that you haven't? I feel like I'm doing what I wanna do. I feel like I've already planted the seeds of what i want to do now i'm just watching them flourish and doing everything and i don't like to talk about what i'm doing i just like to do it now yeah because when you talk about it it kind of takes the impact from it duval one of them people that truly appreciates everything he has that's why he gets blessed with more that's the problem with the area we live in. Nobody appreciates where they at in the current moment. And everybody just do what they see work.

You know what I'm saying? That's what made it so hard for me to get into podcasts now is because I feel like podcasts is just another. I mean, it's good, but it's like what you do. It's media. You know what I'm saying? Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max.

So listen to Still the Place on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts

like when we started we all that was our thing I don't want to do what he do and he don't want to do what I do it's just now that entertainment has evolved over to more media now not everybody doing it so I feel like that's what we got to do well I don't give a f**k about media like that and that's what we are entertainers we're not media you know i'm saying but jesse is now well yeah you are now you are and you're good at it you know i'm saying you're good at but i could do this but i really just like entertaining i like just being in the public i'm a social person that's what social media he media i'm social i'm social that's why we work good together i'm still social he still media just media is popping them yeah and that's why everybody else

going to it that's why i ain't working for them but it worked for people like this because this is really what he is you know i'm 25 years in yeah and they trying to skip the line but they ain't gonna do it they keep trying they'll see all right we got more with little duval when we come back is the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club and everybody we are the breakfast club we're still kicking him with little duvall he's here charlamagne we had uh gerard call michael on yeah he said um he said comedy is a dying art. I mean, it just evolved, you know?

Yeah. It just evolved. We look at stand-up because that's all we got, but stand-up is damn near like jazz now. You know what I'm saying? It's still there, but it's evolved into what I'm doing, social media now. You know what I'm saying?

Even though they ain't comedians, but we program over 15, 20 years of social media to make them think that they comedians, so the public think that's comedians. So, that's just all it is. I don't see no difference. I mean, stand-up is stand-up and it just evolves into something else. Is it an attentive audience at y'all shows?

Because you got you, you got DC, all these people. It is the way we do it, you know? The way we do it, you make it attentive. At least the way I do it, you know what I'm, you make it attentive. At least the way I do it. You know what I'm saying? I make sure the whole show good. I try to make the balance to where it's a good time, where we're having a comedy party.

Yeah, a party. It's a comedy party. You know what I'm saying? So when, say for instance, if you ain't into the party part, you're going to be in the comedy part. If you ain't in the comedy part, you're going to be into the party part. The party part. You like the party part.

Yeah, so I'm just both. I give it all, and that's what it is. You flew up on a jet? Nah, I flew commercial. It costs too much to fly up here in New York airport. And the gas, way more here. But y'all here this weekend. You're in Atlantic City?

Saturday? Nah, I'm in Baltimore first, and I go to Atlantic City. I'm going to fly back, get my plane. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I'm going to fly back, get my plane, and we're going to go there and go to Atlantic City and come back. Well, we're happy that you decided to come here this morning so you don't get my plane, and we're going to go there and go to Atlantic State and come back. Well, we're happy that you decided to come here this morning so you don't get fined, man.

We appreciate you. I appreciate y'all. I appreciate Black Effect and you and Dolly for being patient with me because they been giving me the money for this. I don't even know if I got them. I think Clay got it. Clay definitely got the money. So I don't even know if I even got all of them. But Clay wanted it to be all of y'all.

Honestly, that's the real reason why I did it. It's just me and Clay were supposed to do this together. You know what I'm saying? So once he died, I just feel like it's my obligation to do this. Because, I mean, I was really doing it for him. You've been telling me to do it. I've been pushing this forever. And then once Clay started talking to me, I was laying on that goddamn bed.

I ain't had shit else doing. I was like, all right, I'll do it. And then once we started talking about it, I was laying on that goddamn bed, I ain't had shit else doing. I was like, all right, I'll do it. And then once we started talking about it and he started talking about what he wanted to do,

it started making more sense to me and then he died. I've been telling you, you've been working too hard. Yeah, I really have. Like,

people out here stealing money, but no, you want to name it. It's kind of hard. I just like doing what I do. It's hard for me just sitting here

and see this as entertainment, just sitting here rambling. And that's all a podcast is to me. But maybe you had to just sitting here and see this as entertainment just sitting here rambling and that's all a podcast is to me. But maybe you had to just chill out. Maybe you... I mean, I do it now.

I mean, and I see the... Because I see the impact of it just with my show. I just seem like it's doing pretty good. So I guess I was supposed to do it. Like a lot of stuff

I don't like to do but I do it if my friends and family tell me I should do it and a lot of that type of stuff has actually worked in my favor. So I listen to people that I trust. Yes people like this people like clay You got you got guests. Yeah, I got guests on the episode

conversation with different people Yeah It's just me talking to people talking to me trying to give me trying to ask me for advice and just ask me advice on Life not on business not on on entertainment, just regular life stuff.
