Donnell Rawlings Has A Serious Sit-down With The Breakfast Club

the hell? No? Yo, I've never had really mental issues, but I really guarantee you if I became a member of the Breakfast Club, I would definitely be reading all of this dude's book. Who's not here? Where is he? He's getting ready for you? He's right there. That's him. Well, that's him, that guy, he's really not here though he said he didn't feel like doing it. It's all good. I don't have problem that, Okay, I pay him back. Oh do show. It's about to be a hell of

a week. I bought this for him too, that's just whatever. He's Yeah, well, now you don't got to worry about it. Actually, he usually tapes tomorrow, but he has to tape today because all the political things. We don't have to talk about him. I'm not here for that. I'm not here for that. I'm telling you what we're here from. What are we here for? How do I say goodbye? And y'all don't understand that. I know normally your business. I

just what are you promoting? I'm promoting friendship, I'm promote love. And I thought that first off, I don't know if Angeli is ever gonna leave. She's not gonna leave, don't leave. At the same time, I'm was saying another two weeks, She's like, I'm out in. She got the same thing comment as a needle. I needle. Don't know what if she let me explain something to y'all, I've been trying to leave. I went to leave, Okay, I know you

want to leave, you know. But every time they keep on being like, because you know, Andy, don't we want to do the rumors and the news. So they're dragging a car show, let the car show, short, a car show let a car show. I feel like he went behind the scenes him. I was like, like, we just want to keep Angela until a vacation, until the you know, And I'm like, I really wanted some time off I

was excited. I don't playing the trip, and they're like, we actually need you to stay until December second, that's like four days from birthday. But I'd be quite honest, I didn't know we could do whatever. Congratulations down there, bought a house, thank you. But I've just found out that I think I'm more of a country country boy than anything. The River guy. Yellow Springs, Ohio, Ohwaio. Yeah, okay,

just like Ohio. I fell in well, I'm not a huge fan of Ohio, but I became a huge fan of Yellow Springs, and during a pandemic, I really got connected there. I was just like two summers in a row. I like the piece. I like it's no crime, dear. I got good friends since the community dere and I

just fell in love with the place. And I was like, and I'm like a lot of people that during a pandemic left the city, left for a different lifestyle, for another lifestyle, and I chose a yellows man Ohio for a place for me to He was on we actually um just for clarity, all right. He had a team and I had a team. He's from the creeks, I was from the streets, right. It was a kickball because I'm a sports who won. Well, first off, you cheated. It was the Streets versus the Creeks in the foot

in the kickball team. Tylve qual Lip was supposed to be the name is televe qual. You know what I'm saying, Tomato tomato right, But tyleb was uh uh the captain of the Streets team. But he got in the middle of a tweeting confrontation. No, he just go off anyway. It don't don't even matter. It could be any day. It was the only verse I know respond to each in every comment, I'm like, how do you got the time?

He invented the thing to keep his glasses on his head because he'd been Texas so quick and put them around him. He's not even on the phone. I'm like, when is he doing this? Yeah, but he was a he was a captain of the street team and he couldn't make us. So Angelique came in and I will say that her team beat us in the kickball in the kickball game, and they were undefeated prior to that. Yeah,

we were undefeated. We had like six six we were six and the team from the Creeks, uh, people from the woods, hamstring or something very early on in the first all right, sustained an injury. That so now he plays what's this bart you're playing now? Pickle ball? Okay, I'm in pickle ball. Yeah, so there's a whole pickle gift to pickleball. You don't know about pickleball. My kids play pickaball. You do you play pickaball? I do not play pickaball. So you wear your kids clothes, but you

don't play with your sports and they play something. You do wear your son's jeans, yo or vice versa. And I got a gift for you. This is my parting guest. This is a gift from me, from me and Jamie Fox to you. And the pickle ball is a phenomen I'm surprised that no I did. Yeah, she's leaving. This is not But you can come to somebody show. You give him a gift. Now you want you're like her first guest on her first on her show, so you're not gonna see her again. So you want them? Yeah,

I want the pickleball thing? Do you want them? You already have it. Your kids play. I didn't know anything about a nut joke. Come on, come on, time about for nut Joe. You just can't go past that joke. You know, that was a wonderful nut jokes. It was a good feels so much better than back to Ohio. How so like, oh, he loves it, Yeah, he loves no right now like well, me and my baby mama,

we're not together no more. That's like not happening. I'm not don't have anything negative say, but right now, he's in a really good school in la and I'm considering after he once he gets to fifth grade to see what the situation is gonna be there for him for mid middle school. But he loves it out there, like he loves uh the wid What I realized doing the pandemic, it's simple things in life that make life super simple. I know that may sound crazy, but he appreciates going

down to the creek. He appreciates skipping rocks and stuff. He got some friends out there, and he just loves the nature. I feel in love with nature during the pandemic and couldn't leave. Danielle actually had a really amazing Danielle Land event. Yes, um and everybody bought their kids too, and their families and my friend Dahlia came with your daughter and her daughter had like the time of her life. She was like, I love it here. I never want to leave me. I got kids. You know, there's a

reason why I don't invite you to anything. Hey, don't you don't know, I will say, and we will come to a common show. But the last couple of years, I don't know what happened your attitude to change. I don't know once you once you started Beijing in your chin, you know, it comes just things just change and there's nothing to do. And then look, I don't even know he was a giant fan. Now you sold all you sold all your giant stuff. Last year you sold all

your Giant stuff, your wackcast commanders. I was never a three, I mean, just a whack name. Yeah, But okay, I'm not arguing with you're on happening. I still think that this slightly racist because when you say commander is you ended with chiefs, so you still got the native side of it. But I'm excited that we won three games a row, by how many points, by how we did it, I don't care, but we did it. Okay, I want

to talk about some of your comedy. So you've been on the road a lot, Yeah, are you still enjoying in love and common? I do love it. I will say this, I um, I feel like something's about to happen. It's the problem with no right, No, I just said he wants a real interact. Something's gonna happen, you know what he says, Hey, what about this? My nuts like, no, how do you expect me to give your trust issues? Trust issues? I have trusts trust, I have trust trust,

I have trust issues with you. But back to your question to ask him and give a real INVI, No, do I still love comedy? And I do it. I've been doing it for thirty years, and I don't know of a lot of people can say that. I feel like after thirty years into a thirty year career, every year, I feel like I get better. You know, he has some people to get hot for a couple of years, didn't be like what happened, they fell off. But I feel like for thirty years, like every year I get better.

And you also talking about somebody that each year he thinks he's at that point, but we'll find something to go to the next level. So I do feel like I get better every year and I enjoyed it. A career also has taken off yea as well. Congratulations for that. Thank you. I've been lucky enough. Like I don't really I tell people all the time. He said, what are you like more? Acting? The winning time? Winning time? You asked me what do you like most? The acting or

stand up comedy? Um, I'm in more controling my career with stand up, but acting is more more challenging. To him, it is, you know, like I could go in front of fifteen thousand people have no issue, but then once they say action and that camera come on, it's a whole different ball game. The difference between stand up you get immediate response, you know what's going to happen immediately. With actor, you don't know to the reviews come in to you see the dailies you think you might get.

I was part of a team that wanted to ask her what the what was this? Soul? Just say, you got an Oscar down now too? I got an Oscar? Yeah, well I didn't get an Oscar. I got Oscar ree, I got a piece of acte. Yeah you know how I would be like dudes, I was in the background and I still got it. But I was a part of that. But I wasn't acting for you because you know we're acting. Of course there's lines, there's other actors. Do you feel like you're an actor? Or you still

doubting yourself and keep asking like how'd I do? I don't. I don't doubt myself, but I know that, um, that's something I always can grow. I feel like I always can get better, especially when I see some people work, I see some people get down. I'm like, damn, this dude is doing this for real, and for me it's just it's still fun for me. I don't take myself

that serious. I think about probably got a little bit more training and focused on I could get more acting work, but I've made a name for myself and stand up so much. If I get an acting yea, it's just only a bonus on top of some other things that I do and being an actor as well. Now, yes, what you're playing, I can't tell you. I'm I'm in the series East New York. Okay, it's a Brooklyn Base's got to be. It's probably one of the biggest shows on CBS now. So it's a lead black woman who

does her damn thing. But I was going to ask you, when do you consider yourself a legend in comedy, right. And the reason I ask that is because you you do comedy with so many legendary people. A lot of times people they compare you to the legends, whether it's Chris Rock, whether it's Dave Chappelle, whether whoever it may be. When I'm talking legends, you can see yourself a legend. Yet when it comes to comedy, no, I don't. I don't connect to any words like that. I'm a humble

person and I don't. I don't want to say that I legend. Yeah, I would be Crisipe, this a legend. Yeah, so the legendary term, you know, but you just don't. I don't associate with that. I don't associate with legend. I don't associate with goat. I don't associate with the greatest. I think once you get caught up in that, you start believing, and that's when things turn. You know. Now, if somebody else want to say that, that's one thing. But I'm never gonna say I'm a legend. Don't you

know him? It's just it's just a set up. And then these are new words they found out, new ways envy to call you old. This was a new generation. They they don't. They don't call you oldhead. They call you legend, they call you goat. You know you old when they call you unc what's up? UN's up? Yeah? What's up? What's up? Og? So yeah, they call me they look at my beard, and I'm not. I don't. I don't even die my you've never died it. I died it once. I didn't feel comfortable. I feel like

I was tricking people like R Kelly. I felt in a way, Oh my God, presented to be something that I really was. That's what I'm saying. Allegedly, Yeah, it just I mean, if you gonna hire me for a job for that whatever, but I don't see it. And I went through that stage. You're like, oh my god, I'm getting older. I think you're saying you really want to do this, but I'm saying, take you. Why you take your head off? Hut? Well you guys, you spray paint your joint, side your hair, go for dark skin

of light skinning twenty four hours. Good, you spray your joint. I guaranteed look at his hairline. Now, the next time you get a haircut, your joint is gonna be shocked. Haircut. Does it makes no no, No, you're gonna get that fiber. I know you're doing that. You're gonna consiber the fibers. I don't know anything about the fiber. You're gonna do the five to you back being a legend though I don't consider myself alleged. I don't consider myself any of that.

But the person loves what they do and continue to get better doing it, and you take great on that snoop um the compilation that he had killed that the snoop jaw. It's so crazy because I was slotted to do at which I did, uh Netflix special with Dave Chappelle. That's it's a long story with that. I did it, but then like a couple of weeks before were supposed to air it, we had to air date and everything. He called me. He was like, um, I want to

go again. And I didn't get upset, but I wanted to understand how did we go from us doing Chess Bumps high five standing ovation too? You want to shoot it again? And I was ready for the constructive criticism.

But at the same time, I'm like, I knew it was funny and it was like Daniel I could put you in front of an audience and you could rip all day every day, he said, but that doesn't make it a great special And one of the things he pointed out, and you you came out one of the things that it was it was very strenuous protocol um uh COVID protocol masks right. So when my audience was supposed to be a full audience, it went from a court of that audience. So that was one to strike

against it. The production of it, it just wasn't like the right It wasn't the right mix. So the back that you know, because I mean it was playned like you was ready for this shot? Now like again do you have that same energy? Do you do different jokes? Who were like how do you change it up? Or I did it again? Already did it again. But the feeling was I could have been petty and saying screw that whatever, But it also realized that M Dave got me a check, the biggest check I ever seen in

my career at one shot. How much was it? I don't want to talk about that, but it was, it was, it was, it was it was nice. Yeah I'm asking you that. Let me tell you. Now you see the suit you go out with Donelle forty people. Danielle got the bell, he got the check, but I figured out the way to write it off with taxes for a thing. That's why we hang. But that's just a just a just a uh back to what you were talking about the show when you doing an old and yeah, I

could have winned. There was a lot of things I could have done. I could have been mad saying screw that whatever, But I knew the check it clear right, but also knew that the God is giving me this advice and this criticism. Is a guy that got like seven or eight specials under his belt, and he knows what he's talking about, you know. So I looked at it like I had an opportun I need to do at that time. I'll revamp the set and I'll do it again. And when I think about if you if

you see me do my stand up. The jokes, even though I may do some jokes whatever, they're always growing. So I was like, I'll just stay on track to of what I do and then when we're ready to do it again, it'll pop. We'll motivates Donnelle Rollins, Well, there's different things to motivate me now, it's the comedy. I should say. Austin motivates me on a different in a different, different level. But what motivates me is I

just want to be great. You know what I'm saying, like, I just want to be good, and I do mentor a lot of young comments coming up right, and they always ask these questions like so I need an agent, I need this. They always talk about what they need and I was like, what you need to do is every time you go on stage, rip, That's going to answer all your questions. When you're good at what you do, people gonna find you. You don't have to ask for favors or anything. That A very popular UM manager back

in the day, Barry Catch he still has. He had all the top talent in New York. And this is when I was making my transition from DC to New York, from the chiling circuit of black circuit to m more mainstream right, and I want to help by X Barry. I'll say, look, I'm funny. I know you you got all your your your clients in these clubs. Can you put a phone calling for me? He was like, Danielle, all you gotta do just rip, He said, if you rip everywhere you go, you won't be you can't be denied.

And I tell young it's the same way they want shortcuts and everything. All you gotta do is be good. I never wanted to be famous. I never anybody to tell you yet I never was a lot of people in this business day Like when I was young, I knew that always. I didn't expect to be a stand up comic. Only thing I knew I wanted to be good. And I realized if that, if you're good, then that will turn into all the other things you want out of it. But I never looked for it like I'm

gonna be this, I'm gonna be rich or famous. I just want to be good. You never also chase a check either, which I think is good. Like Danelle is not motivated by money. He does things because he enjoys it, he wants to do it. He's always coming up with ideas. The last thing he thinks about his compensation, you know, for it. And I mean and I thought that has probably cost me um a lot of money. Yeah, you know, it has a lot of money. Like Danielle, you should,

you know. And I'm always tending to think a ways to get Danielle checks like she does too. But you know it's one of two things could happen. I could have got caught up on that. I know I lost a lot of money, but you know, my soul feels good about what I do and I think I make right decisions. It's gonna make me feel good. You get it back. I was gonna ask, you know, when you do shows with like a Dave Chappelle's or Chris Rocks

or whatever commedians. You do shows with Kevin Hard, Uh, you do you look at them as a competition and not competition where like we're going back and forth, but like if I DJ with somebody, it's not a competition in my friends, but I still want to be better, right, Do you feel like it's called healthy competition? Yeah? You better. You know what I'm saying. It's way and that's the only way you get stronger. You know, even when I

work with Dave. Dave will tell you, he said, I know when I work with you, he said, I could feel a difference from the audience. I never especially with those guys. Their names are so big. There's no competition, a sense that when I work with them, I'll open for them. So people come to see them. They paid the money. I'm a bonus, you know what I mean.

I'm excited when I go out there and they say, you see them on HBO's the Wire, you see them on so and so, and then they say, but you fell in love with him, as ask Larry, and then the audience goes nuts, you know. But no, there's no competition. But I know that when I'm on the same plan field with them, I represent now. Also, I was gonna ask you know some of the things that's going on

in the world before we get into that. Well, yeah, beginning you prep for when you're on my show, since you'll be since the breakfast Club is opening for me. Oh yeah, well it's going to lead into your show, right, I'm excited about that. I'm really excited about that. Yeah, we're gonna do some topics with you. This is for you to get ready to be back on radio again. Kanye West, what are your thoughts? My thoughts is I

can't let anybody else's emotions control my emotions. And people that let anything that kind YE says affect them in any kind of way, I think they're foolish. I don't agree with a lot of things that he say. One thing in particular, Kanye West says, I don't have no friends through true friends in Hollywood. To that, I want

to say, Kanye called Dave Chappelle. Yeah, Dave will stand by you through problematic times, okay, and not even problematic like I just the notion of this and the reason why I say that because I've seen uh Dave's friendship with Kanye. I seen when uh Kanye was underfired about some other things when people's like screwed Kanye, and Dave would never turn his back on him. They would always say, you know, that's my brother. I might not agree with everything,

but that's my brother and I love him. I saw one time when when Kanye was having issues where Dave, at the drop of a dime could have probably ject to go see him, go talk to him. So when you start saying that and you act like there's nobody on your side and nobody will listen to you, they are all people that want to listen to you, but you don't want to listen to the people that's going to speak to true to you. And that's what I

can't let us. What Kanye is talking about is not no big news artists getting ripped off with record deals and stuff like that. This is how that happened usually an artist. Well, that's not the reason people upset. It's part of it, you know. I mean, that's what they care about. That part I think they care about more of his statements to that he made about you know, that's what they upset about he made about George Floyd one.

That's what what they're said about. What I'm saying, the spending he's talking about in the deflection is he's now it's like this the record business we've been getting over and if you know this business, for the most part, you get a young dude off the street, off the block, right, never seen more than one hundred dollars or one thousand dollars in a pocket, and you say, here go six figures. You have to be sift, and you show him that stack.

They're not reading that biggest contract, especially when they started speaking in British literature. Hereth wareth there with fourth, they like, give me my money, and if you notice, most of those are just thot up like that. Yeah, you get a raw deal at the beginning, but once you start getting your business sense, what you're talking to mature, you like, wait a minute, I want a bigger piece of the pie. It happened to de Chappelle. De Chappelle said it with

Comedy Central. When I took that deal with Comedy Central, um I had I was I was about to have a baby. You know what I'm saying, wasn't making a lot of money and I needed to bag you know what I'm saying. And that's the urgency of it. But you don't still have to not play fair with people. Correct. That's why I respect COMMU Central. That was a stand up move for Commedy Central to come back and say, here, go all your money. Even with your first contract here,

you always talk about that. It was Yeah, no, my first contract it was. It was terrible. It was horrible. I think I made after minimum. I think it might have been like fifty five. But you already knew. You you've been doing it for a while. You know the long game. You know what he'll see. I didn't mess up. But I also bet on myself. You know, I knew that. You know, as a DJ me coming over here, I feel like I'm the best, and I feel like nobody can outwork me. Right when it comes to I will

do whatever. Jamaica's Canda can't outwork you. You know you, you know you've been you know with us, I've seen you make this shift from nighttime to cover the spot, which is one I should have bet on myself, and I bet on myself and it paid off. But you know for some people that it absolutely positively don't. And I'm just, I'm just I just feel like Kanye doesn't

have good friends, right. And I won't say me and you are the best of friends, right, But if I said something, if I was going through something, I know you check up on me. It's like the same with you, same thing with Angelie, same thing with a lot of people. I just feel like we don't know that no one's checking up on him because but you also, he might not be accepting the information. Sometimes there's nothing you could do when somebody is not willing to accept things at

a time you could be friends with somebody. Look, I have a friend who has mental health issues and I can't really do anything about it. I you know, checked up on her. Now she's like really not taking my calls at all. It hurts, but there's nothing. She's not talking to any of us, right, But I do think he can't do anything about it. I do think that, uh,

he has friends. But when you're living what you think your truth of anybody can test that, anybody go against it, you're gonna you're not You're not gonna want to talk to it. I would also hope that if I do have real friends, that they're not gonna put me in the position to make things worse. Meaning if I'm wilding out and Angel Lee has a show way with the antel, I'm hoping that she's not gonna play m VY come on my show and get yourself in more trouble, you know.

I mean, it got to be to the point where we have to start saying, you know what, he's our brother, he's not in the right mental space. We're not going to give him the platform to bury his career and bury his business even more. Yeah, but you know the funny thing about it is like he talks about a certain business community whatever that you know, was robbing people whatever. But at the end of the day, every time, did you own a platform whatever, you creating content and people

clicking and they sell it. So it doesn't matter. Like we're in the world right now where everything is about engagement a long time ago. We've been doing it for a while. Like, if you want to be successful as an artist, and they went, thing you had to be was likable, right, and next thing you had to do was have talent. Correct, That was the only way you're gonna get money. People had to spending money, had to go to the the record shop and had to do that. Now you don't have to do that. You can be

hated with no talent. If you're an engaging person, you'll continue to make money. I do understand some of the things that Kanye saying, but there's different ways you could do it. And I'm gonna use this as an example. We do know that there are certain people that control this industry. Right, I'm not gonna do it. I'm just this real thing. You can cut it whatever. We do know that and those people, we've been working with them in this situation for years. Is nothing to do with

being antisematically anything. The only thing you can do is like what you do is position yourself to get a bigger slice of the pie. You have to be able to position yourself. And I give you an example. People might not understand. Tyler Perry is a perfect, perfect example of getting controlled, getting what you want. You know, you might not like Tyler Perry's story, his movies, but you have to respect his story. You have to respect that he put itself in the position where he could give

more black performers opportunities. He's built a studio that he gives everybody opportunity to work there. And he did that. He didn't have to ruffle up everything. He'd have to piss somebody off. He understood, well, how do I get to the next step? Be bitching about stuff ain't gonna change thing. I make a difference. I make a difference with what I do, and I'll build my brand. But you know what I don't like, And I don't like

how we canceled somebody super duper fast. Right, And I explain why if I'm making a comment about any group of people, right, I might be making that group that comment because somebody told me that, and they told me wrong information. I think a lot of times we need to correct the information and be like, you got this wrong, brubb Let me explain to you why this is hurtful. Let me explain to you why that was a lie. Let me explain to you why that's not truth. But

the only way. The first thing we do is you said something I don't like. We can't see. I don't think that anybody's really canceled. No, the only way. Don't think Kanye is canceled. Now. I see a lot of people supporting him. I see a lot you know, sneaker deal he does. Ever, I don't record deal. I don't think that he's canceled. I still see everybody covering him. I still think people were interview. But the only way that he can't even perform. They canceled this performance at

more House. He's canceled. He Kanye is. They're not allowed. It was a basketball team was supposed to play or something like. No, he was, he was doing performance and they canceled. That. The only true way, the only real way, you can be canceled. If you're aligned to corporations and you're aligned to like big business, and you're aligned to the studios and stuff, you can't especially in my field, people are you warning about being counsel. I don't make

money off a TV like that. I don't make money off an acting. My money that I make is a thirty year career where I'm going to these comedy clubs every year you can't cancel that when you took if the comedy clubs don't take you anymore, like they're never gonna do that. Kanye can't performing, the comus won't let him in. The comedy clubs are never going to do that.

The comedy clubs, especially like you aren't producing TV show, comedy clubs is never gonna do that because at the end of the day, they want people in those secret money. The same reason why it was a lot of like these YouTube social media comedians going to the comedy because the first comedy cumes like they're not real comedians, they're not really funny, but at the end of the day, they got a bottom line, had asses, and you can't.

And that's what and that's why I don't really trip off of being canceled, because I know that you won't be able to stop me from putting my name. I'm on the Marquee and people coming out to see me perform. Do you ever sensor yourself though, because sometimes and I know I think what's good for you, it's sometimes you have that too soon disclaimer. Soon as y'all do that, it's like it's kind of like saying no offense. But I never. I never edit myself and people I get

that question all the time. How does this consel culture affect you? I'm never. I'm I'm not going to change. And I understand, like this is what people. I think people take advantage of when they say freedom of speech. U I should be able to say without want freedom of expression? Yeah, but with everything you do, a consequences is what it. It's always some consequence, you know what I'm saying. Yes, you do have the right to say whatever you want to say, but what are the consequences

of the words did you say? Kanye West has a right to say whatever he wants to say, but what are those consequences? I think at the beginning he thought he could deal with them, but now, especially when they hit his pocket, it's a different situation. It's how you can I encourage. I tell I know it's gonna sound crazy. I do my show and I do a situation. I say, I encourage every white man in here to use it in where it leads one so you can know the

consequences of use and work at least once. I'm like, okay, can you deal with a consequence? Right? You know? And I also want to talk ask you about Boston Celtics X coach that knocked off at the executive's wife for your thoughts. First off, no, no, no disrespect, but people act like people act like he cheated on a twenty two year old Neil. Oh my god. I'm just saying. I'm just saying, what was it? Don't look amazing. I'm not saying that, but I'm just saying the prime was

for me, it was a prime. I'm not knocking it. Y'all, all all, y'all one, y'all, go all all ya one, But this is right. Do know, c this is what I do. Know that stuff happens everywhere, and I think it's unfortunate that they were so hard on him. But what I understand I think that I think that uh, one of the this is what I heard, one of the executives that was his woman that he was cheating

with so allegedly damn. But how many lawsuits you've been at, you know how to protect yourself, Okay, don't protect me. So I'm glad, but I think it's unfortunate. We know that stuff like that happens all the time, and I know that he's not the first one that's been a situation like that. I think it was a little too much to say he suspended for the UM for the whole season. But yeah, he's a good coach. He'll come back now. Ben Simmons and Russell Westbrook are both having

slumps this year. What what what do you tell somebody that's in the slum? What are you suggesting for them? Uh? Go back to Uh go back to where you were. If you can put your mind what made you excited about it, what gave you the drive, If you could find to get that hunger again, if you could say, Okay, this is the way I used to play when I wanted to get that contract, this is when I wanted to let everybody know I'm the best to do it.

If you could tap back into what made you get to the point where you where you are, then maybe that could jog it. But sometimes you know, people just go through stuff, they go through slumps and they just they come out of it. Now, what are you gonna do for a way up with ANGELA? Ye, what's the don segment going to be? I'm gonna do whatever you

want to do. Um, I I know I really love you, you you know, like like my sister, I've been knowing you for years, I've seen you go from from of course, oh my god, look at the hate listen start open to no. But it's like it's it's certain people that they can call you what you said it ten times. You got a problem with love, you got a problem with you haven't had a hug in a while. No, I'm not doing that. But you say, what am I going to do for you on your show? Whatever you

want me to do. I know that both of us have crazy schedules. I would love to be in a studio with you every day, but I know that we're going to figure something out. Of course, yeah I think some man on the street or something, But yeah, we could do something. Then that sent me some videos the other day when he was at my house and I was giving him relationship advice. Which videos I said, I guess he didn't work out? Well it didn't. I mean happy old old, happy old family. Oh oh, happy old family.

You wasn't bad, It wasn't. It was when you did that TV show. He was you Austin at my house project Dad, when you gave me advice. It didn't work out in my favor, but I gotta beat for set out the deal. Boy, was it my fault that it didn't work out? It was probably my fault. And just stay on my phone, that's all. Oh my god, I'm

selling you. This is how you have a healthy relationship. Anybody, stay out the phones. What did they in the phone? I don't want to talk about that. They probably found the same thing that probably was flout on your phone years ago too. So think about that. Get it close up, Get it close up, because because I don't want to have a future with you, That's why I've read it fast, because I have no future. But we appreciate you for joining us. Nah man, you can't do this this same late.

You know that. Listen. The only reason you you could, you could not air this episode. The only reason, the only reason I'm telling you, I thought that I was gonna have an opportunity to sit and this truth of the matter is this is it for this building? Yes, this is it for this building. Were telling anybody, So if anybody want to look for us, they would still come to this, but they know I'm gonna be aml So what's you gonna do that? Cut it out too.

But but I'm gonna tell you my sole reason because I'm doing Booty Talks other show of a hell of a week. Yeah he I'm on a week when it's a hell of a week and nothing funny in the news nowhere, right. But my reason, the only reason came here because I was like, I wanted to be able to be in a room with her for the final time, last time whatever is going to be breakfast club. I love her. I know y'all ain't gonna be in this building.

And I just came and I'm gonna tell you this is why, this is why things are so so beautiful. I was. I said to myself, why are you doing the show today? Not really here to promote anything particularly Yeah, I said that. I was like why, and I was like, you don't have to just always uh want to promote something to talk to your friends. And this is what made my day great. My friends, I could say, you're a friend him now you know that. I mean, we

drug whatever, but you now we have fun. And you know when he knows when I get a good one, he'll call me like, you really gonna do that? Not respect you. I respect your hustle, I respect your you'll come up and everything. But this made it so dope for me. As when I came to building, when I saw a need at the front desk, I screamed. So I'm like, oh my god, are you kidding? So the back here and I was like this. I was like this, Okay, maybe that's the reason. Just say hello to her and

just to say goodbye to her, whatever that means. It ain't gonna be your forever. But in this space of the breakfast cup, we appreciate we got, we got some good memory. I always say, we appreciate you. And me and Donnelle started doing more the radio together. For most people, a lot of people that don't know we started together. We learned radio together, we effed up together, and we made a lot of mistakes together. But that was part

of the journey, you know. I mean, this is when Donelle was a struggling comedian, So first officer, your first off side was first off. I wasn't never struggling. The right people had to see me yet say don't say that you so disrespectful. I never struggled to come up, comedian was killing Yes he had he has Spider Man Spider Man movie. No, But I'm just saying I will say this in my career, like like, I don't ever feel like I was struggling because earlier on I didn't

expect too much. I tell people I know, but I got to correct that, Okay, I have to correct that. Um. I tell people all the time, when you first started, what do you? What do you? What would you tell me? I was like, especially in this business, if you could be happy being broke, you'll be okay, because you know, in this business, save us in the time, you're not gonna make no money. It's different now with social media.

These kids now they get money quick back then you have to be content with Can I live with the bare minimum knowing that I'm going to a different place. If you can't, your your brain up be cloudy, you won't be able to focus and it won't happen. I was happy when I was broke coming up. Most people, I had a good time. And you know whatever, when you hear people and you know this story. I know a lot of like billionaire and a lot of super successful people and the stories that they always share It's

never ever about where they are now. They always want to remind you it wasn't always like this. Yeah I remember this, and these are things I appreciate. But most the one thing I would say about done Elle and myself and even ye a lot of stuff we do, it's because we enjoy it. Right. The reason I come see you do comedy is because when I see you do comedy now, it's the same feel english when I used to see you do it back then. You enjoy it, you have fun. The same thing was where I still

DJ because I enjoyed. Why I still go to the homecoming spa. I love it. It's a feeling that I can't replace. No money in the world can change that. But there are checks with those homecoming Joe home coming, but I would come for nothing. Pause you know what I mean, become Oh my goodness, you need to stop. You need to stop saying because everybody you say it's another kid saying it isn't over. It's over. I got a dynasty that's over. But we appreciate you for joining

us and thank you. So we really do. And I'm looking forward to our next chapter. Don Pickleball, I'm telling you he wants to invest in the team because he sees a lot of people. He said, Tom Brady article, Yo, I'm telling you, I could look at this dude's eyes and tell when it's a possibility for him to be involving in investment. He looked at that and price it. How much does it did to do that? But pickleball,

it's so funny because the sport's been around. It's been around for the longest time, but for some reason it's becoming real, real cool right now and it's hot. Lebron James's invested in the team Tom Brady, as Tom Brady has invested in Team Draymond Green. Um, they have a CBS as a new show coming up. Pickleball. It's creating so much business. They have like franchises like a pickle, uh pickle and chicken. You know what I'm saying. They

For three weeks. They would come every day. It would be an apple pie or something. Right, uh, door bill of ring. But you know, black people now used to go into the door. White people can't wait to run to the door. They're like,

I would go to the door, and then I look around and just be like an apple pie and did I'll see a white woman with birken stocks and yoga parts saying hello neighbor. Right there was giving me gifts every day, So there's now as other woman came past. Her name is Donna Silver. She was she said, do you play pickle ball? First? I

She said, I will whoop your ass and pickle ball. This is what she said to me, right, And I was like, what is pickle ball? Then I found out what it was. I started practicing and we started having like like a beef on this like seventy ye old woman beef on the blocking on social media right, and I'm gonna tell you it.
