We are The Breakfast Club. Jess Hilarious is here, our co-host. Yes, I am. Now, if you just joined us, we were talking about some of the worst jobs we've ever had or the worst jobs you've ever had. Now, did you work at a morgue? She lied. I went in there. You went in there? I did. I did go in there. All right, whatever. Look, so I went to college for mortuary science and when it came time to do like the clinicals or whatever, we had to go in and we had to

do the, perform like the embalming and I got scared and so that was it that was my last day that was my first and last time in a morgue so no I never was employed by a morgue I did tell Charlamagne 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 was like oh that's cool as hell just used to work at a mortuary only to come to find out you're lying yeah but that's that was the interview that I ain't think was gonna make it no way because you was just some small time. And I was like, dang. Now, Charlamagne, you worked at Taco Bell for like a week

and then your sister fired you, right? Yeah, my sister fired me after like seven days. Wow. I worked at a... Wow. Isn't that crazy? That's crazy. I don't think there's any such thing as a worse job.

I think any honest living, anything that is putting food on your table, putting some money in your pocket, is cool. It may be a job you don't like. There's plenty of jobs you don't like, but there's no such thing as a worse job. Because those jobs we call in the worst, there's some people out there that would cut their toe off to get more. But that don't mean that it's not a worse job,

just because some people cut their toe off. Yeah, I mean, yeah. I didn't like it. I hated working at Taco Bell. I hated working at that factory. I hated working at the Flower Garden, I hated all of 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, Montes Conas, Alcalon. I hated all of that. Like factory workers, like they got to sweat all day for pennies.

They used to make me sit outside. Every single one of those jobs, all of those supervisors told me that I didn't belong there. Every single one. Gayle, I'll never forget Gayle. Her name was Gayle 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 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 telemarketing. But I remember my wife, she sold mattresses. And she had to go to the projects and sell mattresses in the projects. So she would have to go from door to door. It was crazy. It was definitely crazy. Who is buying mattresses? You can find a mattress in the projects. That's right. She was selling box springs in the projects. 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 because that's the way

we made money back then. Were there air mattresses? No, regular mattresses. You used to make her go hustle mattresses for you? I didn't make her go hustle. I didn't make her go hustle. Oh, because he said

he waited in the car and that's how I made her make her money back then. You definitely said waited in the car. I was like a protection. No, you're a liar. You said you and her mom waited in the car. That that's how I made him make our money back then. You definitely said waited in the car. I was like a protection. No, you're a liar. You said you and her mom waited in the car.

That's what you said. No, either her mom would take it, or I would take it as protection, because she would go in the hood. She would knock on the doors. Hey, I got a mattress from whatever mattress company it is. She definitely felt safe with her mother. It's a recliner. Yo, shut up, man. Oh, it was like a legit company.

Yes. I was like, I would never date no man that would be like, I'm going to drop you off in the hood so you can go sell your mattresses I'll be back to get you with your car what? it was like 17 years old and then you made her suffer for 10 years on one ay yo I can't I can't stand you

yo he crazy I should fight him right you gotta read his book Jess he said that he didn't make his wife orgasm for 10 years. That's in his book? That's in your book? Yes, he put that in his book. Hold on, Shanice.

I got to explain it. No, no, no. We don't want to hear this story. I got to explain it now. We don't want to hear this story. She's not looking at me like a man now. She's looking at me crazy. She's looking at me crazy.

She's looking at me crazy. I've heard this story a million times. She's looking at me crazy. I've heard this story a million times. I've never me crazy. I've heard this story a million times. I've never heard it. So when we were first going together, I was 16, she was 50. When we first started having sex, I didn't know what I was doing. I used to watch porn and think bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

It didn't work. Ten years later, my mouth game was good. But just my peeing game wasn't good. And one time we got into an argument and then she was like, that's why I ain't f***ed in ten years. Oh, hell no. For real? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It hurt me.

I was hurt. I cried. But we over that now. That was a long time ago. We over that now. But he keeps bringing it up. Just look disgusting. Traumatizing me.

Oh, my God. Shanice, I'm sorry. Hey, man, what's going on over there? Charlamagne bothering me and bugging me and traumatizing me, bringing me back to old stuff. He wrote it in a book. What's going on, y'all? Y'all not listening to me.

What's happening? Now, Shanice, what is the worst job that you have, mama? Well, first off, I'm going to say y'all hold music. Y'all need to get some back home. The worst job I had was. What do you mean, what? I'm sorry. I hold music.

I hold music sucks. The worst job I had, y'all, I was selling knives. I was trying to go door to door selling knives. Oh, my God. You too. Girl, yes. That pyramid scheme company crap. I remember that.

Girl, yes. You were sitting in the class. They really got you thinking that you were going to be the best knife seller in the hood. I swear. I thought I was shaft. Listen, if you sell this knife that cuts a penny, you will win $1,000 on your next phone call. Me being 19, I'm like, oh, my God, I'm about to be rich by the time I'm 20. Y'all ain't going to get nothing.

I have to find out they were definitely a Ponzi scheme. And then I heard they were trafficking girls. No. Oh, my God. I'm not surprised. But, yeah. Thank you, Shanice. I don't think there's no knife sharp enough to cut a penny.

I don't know, but that's what they used to sell. They used to, you know them little pyramid schemes, like, you know, Massafibis on them. They, you know, he had, oh, no, that's a seminar. My bad. It's still scam, scam, scam. You're stupid. But, you know, they used to, the knife cutting classes,

and they make you feel like you can go out there and sell them and be rich. And they used to get all the little young girls. Oh my God, they were sex trafficking people then because it makes perfect sense. Oh yeah, because they get the young girls to buy them. Yeah, everybody. It was a whole bunch of young, we were all young, like, in our teens. Hello, who's this? Good morning, it's your girl

X, still for X. Hey, X, what was the worst job you had, mama? She was a stripper. X to see. Oh gosh. My worst job was working in a exterminating company. And one of the guys came back with a tank. And some of the egg bugs escaped. And I got attacked. And I'm allergic to bites.

I found that out the heart rate. You got bit by a snake? No, bed bugs. Oh, bed bugs. No, bed bugs. Oh, wow. Damn, so you were an exterminator and you were allergic to bed bugs. No, I was. Oh, wow. Damn, so you were exterminated and you were allergic to bed bugs. No, I was working in a company.

I was a salesperson, but I was a dispatcher also. One of the new guys for the tanking, the bed bugs escaped. He got fired, but I got attacked. I was allergic. I had to go be in a hospital on Benadryl. Oh, so stripping wasn't her worst job. You did use the script though, right, man? Yeah, so stripping wasn't her worst job. Okay. You did use the strip though,

right, ma'am? Yeah, I would've went to the club too. No, I did not use the strip. Oh! And also, I want to elaborate on what Jess was talking about earlier. I do get along

with my baby father just as much as you do. Oh, good. That's one thing we got in common. Good. I even babysit other kids
