Tesland figure will be joining us as the breakfast logo.

Morning Wanting Everybody's DJ Envy, Jess Larious, Charlamine the gud we are to breakfast Club. Let's get in some Front Page News.

Good Morning, Tis, good Morning, dj V, Jess Hilarious, charlemagnea god s.

All right, well, let's jump right into it. Let's start off with Nicki Haley.

Yes, on no surprise, she has got out of the race. She suspend her campaign for president. Let's take a listen.

After winning only one state on Super Tuesday, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley bowed out of the presidential race.

I am filled with the gratitude for the outpouring of support we've received from all across our great country, but the time has now come to suspend my campaign.

Hailey congratulated the now presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, but did not endorse him.

I have always been a conservative Republican and always supported the Republican nominee.

But on this question, as she.

Did on so many others, Margaret Thatcher provided some good advice when she said, quote, never just follow the crowd always make up your own mind.

Haley's announcement all but confirms a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Trump.

It's a rematch.

Let's just it is what it is. This is where the table has been said. It will be Donald Trump versus Joe Biden. The question is what's going to happen with those Nicky Haley voters. Joe Biden did offer them a place. He said that Donald Trump made it clear he doesn't want Nicki Haley supporters. He said, I want to be clear, there's a place for them in my campaign. Trump did not extend an offer as of yet. He did say that Nicky Haley got trounced in the Super

Well, they're both.

Donald Trump is crazy for not doing that because they're gonna need those people, you know what I mean, That's what it's all.

That's what it's all about.

In November, energizing those people who don't feel inspired to vote for either candidate, because you know, there's not a lot of people that you know, there's a whole lot of people who are not inspired by either candidate. They're not inspired by this rematch. So it's up to Biden and Trump that energize those people who don't feel inspired, because they probably gonna make the difference in November.

Yeah.

Trump's style is though, you either with me or you against me, you know. Bottom line.

He said Biden is a disaster to the country, and you need to come join the best movement and ever.

You know, in history. So that's that's his way of a thing.

He's not Donald Trump is considered a threat to democracy. I was watching, uh, I was watching the John Bolton I think he was on CNN last night. He's but he was the former former advisor of Trump for something. I forgot what it was. But he said he han't voting for either one of them. I'm not voting for Biden or Trump. So you know, I know there's a lot of people who feel like that.

Yeah.

I saw that too, and he was saying he just can't go against his conservative values to vote for Joe Biden, but he certainly can't align, you know, with Trump as well.

But this is where we are. People are gonna have to make a decision.

I think it's important though we also talk about local and state racist like, there's a lot of races that are still happening. So for those who are saying, well, I just can't vote for Biden and Trump, I would hope that you still think it's important for governors, congress, city council sheriffs. You know, those positions are up as well. Those are the positions you have to vote in. So

And John Bolten is the former US National Security ABA. That's yeah, you're right about the state of the Union. If I was president Biden to night, I would focus on America.

I would really.

Adopt Trump's philosophy about America. First, how you gonna provide financial relief for the American people, How you gonna make sure we can keep affordable food on our tables and affordable roofs over our head. Geopolitical politics not gonna cut it to night. We don't want to hear about more money being sent to other countries. He needed to talk about how he's going to provide financial relief for America.

Do you think he should address Trump and make make the comparison to Trump at I.

Don't think it matters. I don't even I think I think Democrats are doing that. Focusing on Trump is pointless. They need to focus on those people who are not inspired to get up off the couch. In November, I told y'all millions of times, it's about Republicans who are the crooks. This year, it's about Democrats who are the couch because they don't fight enough, and it's about the couch,

Nope, that's.

At all.

So going after the you know, people who supported Nicki Haley, going after those independents, going after those you know, the hypothetical swing voters they always chasing.

That's who they need to.

Focus on, all right, A lot is front page news. What are we talking next?

Our tests?

We're talking so New York.

Now you see M sixteen's you know on your subway with the National Guard now patrolling the NYC subway is a new crime initiative that the governor's rolled out.

I'm gonna tell you something. But I'm not saying that that what what that man said wasn't true. But there's a cash voice. I heard it. Get heard it because every time we said we were praying for him, he.

Was kind of like, you know what I mean, he was doing that a little bit.

You can't want the paper over the press, Okay, you can't want.

The paper over the press. He wanted, but he just wanted. He wanted, but he wanted that paper.

I can hear it.

I can hear I could hear it in his voice. I can hear in his voice. But you ain't write it down at.

I wasn't moved. I praying for him, but I just wasn't. My discernment didn't say give him some money. That's what I'm not saying that. You know, people aren't going through things. But I just think that they hear us do that a lot on the radio, and you don't know who's telling the truth a lot of times. Yeah, my spirit, my spirit didn't. That one did a movie. That one was like, you know, just staying down, you know, fresh listen.

Somebody had just said to me, they used to give out a lot of money, like a lot of caships on the Breakfast Club. Why are you gonna make them do that no more? I was like, I'm not giving out anything but prayers, So I don't. I don't know. So, Yeah, people got used to y'all giving out money.

Now we used to do that, like when people call, and we still do.

Like, you know, if somebody's going through hard times, we'll pay for their lunch and we pay for the dinner. We do a couple of dollars in the accounting help out.

We're travels and you know, people make up stories to get money, and they'd be like Jnvy and Charlemagne Day. They's so nice, they generous. So if I call and have a good enough story or set enough story.

They will give me some money. And that young man not going through nothing.

Nobody else hasn't been through, have been unemployed in between jobs.

That's not a tragic story.

Yeah, we'll get it off your chest. Eight hundred and five E five one oh five one. We got just with the mess.

All right, we'll get into that. Next is to Breakfast Club Go Morning, The Breakfast Club Morning everybody. It's j n V Jess hilarious, some fun Jess cheva mean the guy who we are the breakfast club.

Let's get to jest with the mess Jesus real.

Just Robber Midway just don't do no gonna bring numbers.

On the breakfast club.

Stots.

All right, So this one pissed me off because I did just tease that Tory Lanes has to you know, he about to sit down for his first interview from prison. But it's so simple. I didn't listen to the audio before. I wouldn't have reported it. But this is very simple. This is what it said.

Number five, Oh.

Yo chat by the way, free man a Tory Lane stream.

It's gonna be a zoom call chat.

He's gonna be in jail and I'm gonna be at the warehouse zoom call very very soon.

Why would you.

Just like my dumb as I'm abnn to report it. I was happy as hell. It's called promotion, I know, right, crazy all right? Ryan Garcia shares another update. Yesterday, we reported on Ryan Garcia's recent activity on social media hack messages. He claims everything was happening to him from kidnap, you know, kidnapping, and he lost access to his money, et cetera, all of that stuff. Since then, TMZ released another video of

Forward here to announcement.

Returned back to Instagram.

Over these past couple of days, you guys have seen some pretty intense things.

I understand what they are and the understand what they look like.

But are coming back to announce I'm not gonna speak on any other topic of it than boxing sports in my fight.

That's the only thing.

I'm gonna be talking about. I'm training for this fight on everybody know this fight is.

Still on four to twenty five weeks of super focus. I have PbD helping me in this camp and many other warriors. So I thank you guys for the support and I'll see you guys on four twenty.

You know the problem with all these situations the backdrop of the fight, So being that we know there's a fight on for twenty we just can't determine what's real and what's not real. Like how we just talked about Tory Lane, because we know that was promotion. How do we know that all of this stuff just isn't promo?

How do we know it's it is? How do we know? I mean, we don't.

I just I really feel like it has nothing to do. All we can do is just give opinions on what we think.

You know, I don't.

I don't feel like any of that stuff yesterday, you know, had anything to do with the fight. I still think he always wanted to fight. I don't think this was the back out of a fight or anything. I really think that.

He's selling the hell out of this fight right now, selling if Ryan got to see it, is gonna fight April twenty up against Devin Haney.

We're all tuning in. He's got casuals ready to watch him.

By the way, Ryan Haney always, I mean, Ryan Garcia always does good pay per view numbers as it is, but he definitely got people intrigued to want to see this fight on four twenty, even casuals.

Yeah what.

Devin Handy yesterday said that he feels like Ryan Garcia is playing crazy to promote the fight.

See why gotta be crazy, Gotta been playing crazy.

Devin just asking for attention. He's definitely selling the hell out of this fight.

Well, hopefully what he said gets enough attention in the world. You know what I'm saying. But until then, we can keep on speaking Jesus name, like he said, because why wouldn't we Moving on, Cam Newton speaks on recent fight. Cam Newton appeared on an episode of The Big Podcast with Shack. He spoke on the fight that was caught on camera at his football camp.

That's what he had to say.

What you saw was those were grown men, those weren't kids. That narrative was familiar coaching, and it got chippy. For me, That's not the first time that happens, and honestly, knowing my world, that probably won't be the life.

I think.

Yeah, people see like, yeah Cam standing on business, Yeah, Cam had bobby pins in his head. You know, those are all funny things. But when I look at it, it's like, man, they could have got ugly on both sides. Because I'm the type of person when I feel triggered, I react, I don't think.

And that's the issue.

I agree. You did you just say that when that happened, I ain't like hogh, shake was like, so what happened that your little football camp, first of all, shacked just because you're bigger than everything. You know, Man, don't be doing all that I ain't when we represent you know,

But that was his first time speaking on it.

But I think it's a lot of lack of respect, right yeah. And I see it all the time, especially with athletes, with people that do well. You see it with comedians, Oh you ain't funny, or you see it with athletes.

So I bought your hands right now.

Well, you see it all the time when people test these these people at that showed their compliments. Don't give them the props. I see it all because everybody got a smartphone down.

Everybody got their own little reality show going on, and they think we all are extras and guest stars in their reality show.

That's the smartest thing you ever said. Shown.

All right, moving on call, Michael shares his family's reactions to him being gaged. So Draw Carmichael is releasing a docu series. Oh my gosh, He's releasing a self titled docu series on HBO. The show will follow his life at home and his relationship with his parents. And we have a little snippet of the trailer, number eight.

You don't have no eight? Oh my good?

All right, why I'm reporting the second album because I only got a few seconds anyway, this is something.

Oh my good.

I did hear you tease that story earlier, so I don't know why it's not in there.

That's crazy.

I literally edited myself.

I know Jesus. All right, well, thank you so much.

You got it now, but now you're about to swirl your finger, so I'll get to it now.

When we come back. We got front page news and then xboxer Andre water be joining us.

They don't move. It's the Breakfast Club comboarding.

You're checking out the Breakfast Club owning everybody.

It's DJ nv Jess, hilarious, Charlomagne gud we are to Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news.

What's up?

Test?

What's going on? DJ and V Jess hilarious. Charlemanea.

Guys, hey girl, let's jump right into it. Let's talk about the subway in all of the crime that's going on in the.

Say yeah, I can't wait to get your response on this Guy's with you.

Guys being in New York City.

Now, you'll see the National Guard armed with M sixteen as a part of the.

New plan to fight subway crime. Let's take a listen.

There were sixteen's part of the Governor's five parts plan announced today aimed at combating subway crime.

Seven hundred and fifty National Guard soldiers, two hundred and fifty State troopers and MTA police and more random backchucks.

To those who are feeling anxious whenever they walk to those turnstiles.

We'll stop at nothing to keep you safe, so rogers. Though not sure if it'll have the intended effect. Wow, I didn't think it was that the point of National Guards needed more nervous because I feel like there's more of a threat.

Happening versus just the police. I don't think the National Guard would be a good idea concern.

Take hark back to nine to eleven. Feels like a huge overreaction and overreach Donnald Lieberman is the executive director of the NYCLU. Calling out the National Guard in response to some incidents is not.

The way to go now.

The Governor wants to give the judges more power for repeat offenders by creating a new early warning system for repeat offenders and wants them banned for three years if they've been being convicted of a violent crime. Here's what she had to say and what Michael Kemper had to say. Who is the Chief of Transition.

We know who they are.

They'll flag the criminal history at the time of arrest, so it could be fully considered when decisions regarding charging and bail are made.

Are we arresting people one hundred times?

And once we make the arrest, why are they back out within a day or two sometimes?

So the experts say that involved in the National Guard is not sustainable. It's only going to last a few months of They're saying, you know, what's the point in doing it. It's just making folks anxious. The governor did say that cameras will be on every car by the end of the year and in every conductor booth, and some of the resources will be spent to make the system safer and Meeric Eric Adams said the overall crime is down. He said double digit decreases in suburb crimes

Think they're doing too much or is it's a good thing?

Well, I think there's long term solutions and short term solutions. This is a short term, temporary solution that may or make things.

Better, all right, may make things worse.

You know.

I love number two on here, which is the twenty million dollars they expand mental health teams because I always want to get to the root of the problem, and the root of the problem is.

You know, dealing with with poverty.

The root of the problem is getting folks proper access to mental health care. That's how you reduce you know, crime anywhere when you provide people, you know, resources to put food on their table and a roof over their head, and you provide them resources that have proper you know, access to mental health care. But that's the long term solution. But you know America does not know how to solve problems long term.

Yeah, I mean, I will say this though.

I mean, you look at at airplanes and airports, right and they say they get about I'm looking right now. They said about one point seven three million people fly daily.

Right.

Then you look at the New York City subways and it says about two point four million people ride the subway.

There's no protection for those peop on the subway.

Yesterday the conductor got bashed in their head with a bottle, like it's no protection. I don't ride the subways. I don't my kids don't ride the subway. It is not safe down there, and people get cut down there. You hear about stories people getting pushed onto the track. It's very dangerous and there's no protection. There's not enough protection

That's just how I Yet, Yeah, I don't believe they're saying they don't want protection. They just feel like this might be an overreach because it's what it's a thousand National guardsmen they're putting in the subways.

Seven hundred and fifty and so when you talk about what the National Guard, you know what they're the job is to respond to domestic emergency. So the question is do you think it's necessary to have the National Guard, you know, within sixteens And keep in mind the National Guard is not trained to.

Deal with subway incidents.

So that's why NYPD is saying more money should be spent on the actual police officers that actually know how to work with folks on the subway, who are accustomed to that type of patrolling.

Yeah, it's seven hundred and fifty National Guard tell and fifty MTA and state police, so it is almost a thousand.

Yes, yes, it is total overall.

Yes.

When I was speaking to the.

National Guard, so do you think mby I mean, does that make you feel safer? Jeff jess looking at somebody with M sixteen or does it make you anxious like that?

They you know, I feel safer?

You do cook it? I do too, if I'm not doing that wrong. You got feel safe. I know somebody I can run to. Somebody trying to bash me over the head or cut me or shoot me or rob me or or still.

I would feel safe.

Yeah, walking through the airport, when you walking through jfcareport and all people with them sixteen you yeah, you feel safe.

Yes, it's wrong, Yeah.

Something wrong with it.

Some folks say that they don't. They feel it's anxious. They just make them feel anxious, like you know what's going on or they're gonna shoot start shooting folks down. So but again, this is only this is not a short term solution.

It's just a couple of months. So what's the point.

I guess it happened them a couple of months and then and then going back to business as usual.

But that's what I say when I say you got to have a long term solution, and the long term solution is dealing with poverty and getting folks proper access to mental healthcare. Like that's how you reduce crime anywhere. You know what I mean, Like they're not trying to actually solve the problem of crime in this country. They're just finding ways to police it.

Yeah.

But the sad thing about it is any place where there's a lot of people, whether it's a football game, a basketball game, or any type of thing with it is a lot of people. A concert, they make people go through some type of form of security to protect each other. Right the subway is the only place where millions of people go and nobody checks nothing on them.

But they are doing random bag checks. But I know your point. You mean, like every single person.

Yeah, you don't know what anybody got in their bag, Like, you don't know if they got a weapon, you don't know if they had a bad day.

You don't know everything else they.

Check people, but random bag checks. You know who the random people they're gonna be checking the most is black and brown people.

You do know that.

But that's why I said I didn say anything bout random. That's why you put some type of system out of there where everybody has to walk through some type of security. You know, once you're inside, y'all pretty much playing on the same playing field, you know, all right, Well, thank you tiz absolutely.

Man?

I'm good man.

I'm juggling, you know, but it's all good and I'm working it out well.

I hope you all read andre Ward's book already, Killing the Image of Champions Journey of Faith, Fighting and Forgiveness. You've always been like notoriously, you know, private with your personal life to a certain extent. How did you know now with the time to reveal it all in the book.

Man, it's been it's been a it's been a few years coming. You know.

I've said it many times, you know, promoting this book. Like I'm an eighties baby, you know, and I was raised to not share my business, my family's business, you know. And it's it's not about this day and age because people overshare that. People think that like being private is some weird or you know, some some sneaky about you with you how And it's like, nah, that's a superpower to like keep my business to myself and not and

Them, like, bro, I understand what you're going through. I've been there, done that.

And they're like, nah, you've always been like this, and it's like nah, bro, like I'm telling you I did more than you. So I start getting discontent and start feeling like, man, they don't have the full story. And I was talking to my pastor, man, and he was like, Joe, you got to kill the image. And I'm like, what you mean? He was like, Nah, who you are is real, but it's not who you've always been. You can tell that story.

Now for people that don't know who andre Ward is and how you got in the box, and break that down a little bit.

What got you into boxing? What made you love boxing?

My daddy, My daddy, I was My first love was baseball. You know, I was a picture on the shortstop and but I was always competitive, always, you know, just competitive, like I'm a sore winner and a sored loser. And my daddy started telling me about his amateur careers. You know, he was a fifteen and ois a heavyweight, and I'm like, what you mean?

You box?

And my dad, you know, like I said, he raised me as a single parents. I'm like, I'm gonna do it. I didn't even think about it. And that was like that was the first seed. That was something. And my dad being my dad, you know, and I talk about this in the book, you like, and we're gonna do it.

We're gonna do it.

Right, You're not gonna quit. But the first day I walked in the gym, man, it was love at first sight. And I didn't even really understand what that was. I just knew the sights and the sounds and speedbag, the heavy bag, you know, the smells of the gym, you know, hearing people ha ha ha hitting the bag and sparring.

I knew I loved it. I knew I loved it. I wasn't very good when we first started.

Was he hard on you there?

But that's why my dad couldn't train it. You know my dad was you know, he was all or nothing. You know, I told you to get your bleep bleep hands up, man, just what you're doing, move your.

Head, and me I would shut down. I don't respond to that.

And shortly after I started, we met Virgil, my godfather, lifelong trainer, and verbs had a different finesse about it.

You know.

He would he would, babe, try this, dude, get your hands up enough. I responded to that. So my dad was wise enough to pass me on the verb.

We don't hear those stories enough about single fathers, yes, rare he How did that impact you?

Not have a mother now? You always hear about a father now, man.

The good part of it was I got to see a man get up every day and go to work. My father would always say, you know, I got my struggles. And my father he struggled with heroin addiction, but he was a functional at it, and my mother was a full blown you know, she was in San Francisco.

I'm in the East Bay.

And she's completely in her addiction. And my dad will say, I don't care what I'm going through. I'm not leaving, you know. So just seeing him get up every day he owned his own business, get up every day and go to work. He struggled at night. He had that monkey on his back when he came home. But that showed me what manhood was about. That gave me a strength about me and a confidence about me. Not having the mother there that I didn't have that nurturing. I

How did you get over there? I mean, not having a mom in your life, Like you say, that sensitive side, that nurturing inside because you know, dad, especially in that era, is you fall, get your ass back because you better not cry.

That was dads back then.

But you didn't have that other side of mom said well let me let me hug you, let me hold up, so let me make you feel better. So how did you get over it?

I mean the first thing is just identifying what it was. Took a lot of lumps to get there, you know what I'm saying, because I'm you know, I'm not trusting and I'm blaming her, I'm not loving her the way I should, and I'm blaming her.

And it just took me.

You know, really, when I crossed over and got out the streets and really settled down and gave my life to God, I started really being able to hear my thoughts and really put the patterns together, and then remember the struggles that my dad had, Like, man, my dad struggled with this too, And then getting around you know, they say a few good men, my pastor and a couple of good court brothers that I have, and just them helping me identify certain things and talk can through

I wonder how did that how you talk about your wife, but I'm talking about this relationship with women period, how did that affect you not having a mom, How did you look at women like throughout your whole life?

Man?

Like I said, it was just distrust and mistrust.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Did it ever comes to a point like where your wife where y'all want a verge of divorce or separation? Or was she just always very patient understood from the jump.

Oh no, we went at it for sure. Yeah yeah, but you know you got to realize too. We started super young, like first first child. We met in high school. First child sixteen years old, second child eighteen years old.

And I'm living with vergs.

Like I said, my godfather training his wife and she mad were going at it and Bird just sit us down. This is how you want to carry yourself as a wife and as a woman, dre and he I felt like he was always taking her side, Like why you're always taking her side? Nah, he said, listen, I'm trying to I'm trying to help you. Man, sit down and stop talking. And he would just sit us down and break it down. He would open the wordness and that's

He go to the gym all day.

Don't as soon as he come through the door, start yelling at him and telling him what he didn't do. You gotta give him a chance to unwind, take a shower, eat, and then go talk to him. So I see her listening. Then he get on me, man, you need to stop reacting like that, bro.

You trip it.

It was that type of counseling that we had that wasn't even like formal counseling, but it was him sitting down and this is in the middle of him going through his own personal marital stuff. He would sit us down to educate us about what he believed the wife was supposed to look like bek and what a husband was supposed to be like.

And it was a lie.

How didn't know you would the one one it came to boxing, you know, because everybody, I mean, you go to these gyms, like everybody thinks they had won to go to gleasings and everybody's like that the next How did they know.

That you were the one out of all that? What was that something that somebody seen?

It didn't start out like that, you know, Like I said, I think it just started out something I wanted to do and I went in there and I had to really pay my dues the first couple of years, like I was getting beat all over the ring.

Because you said the Olympics like you were ready for it.

But it got to a certain point where once I overcame in that gym. After that first year, we call it being battle tested. Once I got battle tested in that gym, then it was like, all right, let's go to the nationals. Once I won my first national title at ten years old in nineteen ninety six. Once I did that, I think everybody starts saying that, men, he could be the one. And it sounds crazy when I'm

Nine years to the Olympic.

We got seven years, and I just I turned into this prodigy and I gave up my whole childhood to do it. So it went for me looking like I might not have it to all of a sudden, He's going to be the one. So at a certain point it became a fourgon c lousing I'm gonna go to the Lilympics. Want to go medal turn pro, win championships and make a lot of money. Like that just was the conversation in my home. It sounds crazy, but that's what it was.

All right. We got more with andre Ward when we come back, don't move.

It's the breakfast club. Good morning, m V. Jesse Hilarius Charlaamae.

The guy was still kicking it with boxer well retired boxer andre Ward Charlamagne.

I want to go back to your parents just for a couple more questions. Were you ever afraid that the disease of addiction would would get you?

It did get me, Oh man, it did get me. And it wasn't a long time, but it was long enough. I had a two three year stint where you know, some people say generational curses, some people say generational pattern. They had me and I was already you know, dibbling with weed and starting to drink, probably sixteen years old. I mean, it really stemmed from this. I believe, like I said, my mother was a was a full blown adict.

And I did.

Let me ask you a question.

Jess and I were talking about this a couple of weeks ago, and this is a no judgment zone. What I always wanted to know, like when you see something affect your family in a negative way, right, I think we were talking about bow Wow. I was talking about he see mac millerdo lean and passed away from it, but then he tried it. And I always wanted to know the mind frame of somebody seeing it destroyed somebody but saying I'm gonna try it, I can overcome her, Like what's that mind frame?

Because you see what it's doing, and you see what it does you still say I try it?

It depends, Bro.

You got to realize it's forces behind them, generational curses. It ain't just natural. It's forces behind it, and them forces follow you, generational and you don't have to give into it.

But once you open that door and you.

Say, yeah, I'm gonna try this now zone And I wasn't emotionally mentally mature enough to be able to make those decisions. All I knew was I was hurting. I'm dealing with depression. I'm dealing with anxiety, and I don't know that that's what it is. All I know is when I drink something or when I smoke something, I don't feel.

That way no more. That edge is taken onporarily.

But once I got myself together, and you know, I got clean and I got I kicked all of that stuff. Then I started thinking the way you said, I'm never gonna touch that again. I gotta do something different from my kids. But I wasn't at that stage. I didn't have that kind of strength and power. And it's interesting too, because my dad, my grandfather, Harold, he was an a functional alcoholic great man, but he had a drinking problem.

Would you say you replaced one addiction with another when you took up boxing.

I wouldn't say I replaced it.

I would say, man, I got free, And I would say that I just channeled who I am as a person that drive that focus toward the right thing. You know, I don't look at boxing like an addiction, and I always have tried to.

And it's not easy.

Man.

I don't want to sit here and act like it's an easy thing. But I've always tried to keep that sport in its proper place because I knew it was in one day. And I'm fortunate that God always put me around people who would walk that walk. My pastor Napoleon Coft and form a raider. He played All American in college, six years as a professional runner back, and then he did. He went in the ministry and never

What effected losing your father have on you? And what was your relationship?

Like I mean, my dad was my mother and my father. For many many years, that was my everything, and it had a profound effect and I still feel it to this day. Now this thing isn't as as strong, but I had times when I'm with my kids and I just drift off.

And I'm thinking, like, man, my dad can see this right now.

He lived long enough to see my first child, Dre Junior, and Tiffany was pregnant with our second child, Malacho, and then he passed in two thousand and two. I have moments like that. I think about how my career would have been different if my dad was here. I think about me helping my dad and giving back to him and buying in my house or just you know, just just doing life with him. I wish I had my father there to talk about life. I got questions, man,

Because you retired at thirty three?

Yeah young?

Yeah did all that right?

Yeah?

So if your dad was here, you would have would have gone longer, you believe.

So, I don't know what, Like my dad loved boxing, but he wouldn't like my dad was always focused on the man, you know, Like he was always focused on me and my character and the type of play that he was always big on that, So I don't my dad. I don't think my dad would have been trying to push me to stay in the sport. I think it probably would have been the opposite. He might have wanted me to ended a little bit earlier than when I did.

How did you know it was time then?

Because he was undefeated, like, yeah, thirteen, relatively young in the sport.

Yeah, Like what made you? How did you know it's time to hang the gloves up? Man?

I started feeling it two three years before I did it. And I would always ask the other athletes, how did you know? And they would all say the same thing.

You just gonna know. You're gonna wake up one day and you don't want to do it.

So I started hearing myself Charlotte Magne say that our word three four years before. I would just say stuff and I'd be like, oh, yeah, what you just said? I and I would I would be aware of that. I'm self aware, like yo and you talking like that. But I still had to drive. I'm still looking good, I'm still sharp, and went through the laws superior with my promoter, going through that where you know, money going out and no money coming in, and I'm like, look, man,

That's pressure.

So you get to a point that even though I can do this, I don't know if I want to do this. Win far Cobla the second time, and I know it was time. When you say freedom, like, what do you mean? Like the simple things like wanting to eat what you want to eat or noth having to be on the training regimen? Like what do you mean when you say freedom? Boxing consumes you? I feel like it has to if you're going to be elite. Like if I was on this trip right now, I would

Will no move Boxer, Andre water Store, This is the Breakfast Club. The Morning Retired has a new book out right now.

Charloamae, When did you realize you were turning generational curses and the generational blessing.

That's a good question, man. I think when when I start allowing God to get me together. When I start, my eyes started to get clear, and I started to see things right. When I started to learn what it meant to to mour in my father's death. Didn't know what that meant. When I started being honest about where I was and being honest about my emotions and feelings.

So self has started with me. I got to get me right.

I can't lead a family. I can't leave my wife, I can't leave my kids. I can't do it unless I'm getting myself together perfect by no means. But I'm saying them blatant things, them blatant sins and things that generational things that we're talking about.

I can't do those things and be the proper leader.

When it comes to God.

Do you remember the moment, our event that caused you to like really strengthen your faith in your belief?

My father always gave me a foundation in a word. And it's interesting because I didn't grow up in the church like that, but my father had an understanding and he would open up the Bible, say, man, you got you know, I probably gave my life to God, probably like times when I.

Was a kid, just making sure that didn't work, you know what I'm saying, and just young and not knowing no better.

But I always had a respect and a reverence for God. And you know, when I started getting notoriety like you know, I'm aging myself right now. But the newspapers would come to the school and they would want to do an article on me and my brother. My dad would be like, man, make sure you give God glory and stuff. And I didn't really fully understand, and I was scared to do it at that time. My brother, he was outspoken, this, dude, we're Christian. I'm like, bro, shut up, bro, like you always like.

I wasn't there.

He was there, but that's where it started. But that was my father's face. And then when I start going through life and then I lost him, I was angry at God. I didn't want them to do a church. God, nothing like you allowed this to happen. I didn't acknowledge that I was already slipping and tripping before my dad died.

It was his fault.

And every time I would smoke something, every time I would drink something, every time i'd be in a situation, I felt like my conscience was still there. I wasn't completely gone, but I would think, man, you're not supposed to.

Be doing this. Bro, And vergs to tell me, and I talk about this in the book.

Verge was not only a boxing trainer, but he worked in a probation department of juvenile off for twenty five year and Verge had and has a gift for young men. He can look at you and say something, make you laugh, but also get at you at the same time. And he used to sit there in the kitchen Man in East Ookland, Man where we lived, and he would say, he say, brother, you ain't gonna get God a and gonna let you get away with nothing. And this is when I'm in the thick of it. And I would

And sure enough I'd be in a car full of dudes. You come here. I couldn't get away with nothing.

I could do a little bit, but every time I try to step it up. So those things were starting to chip away at me. And I knew even though I'm still doing I knew, like, man, this ain't gonna last long. I'm not gonna have a long career in the streets.

I'm just not.

So it was that kind of stuff Charlemagne.

When I'm in a thick of my situation and I'm rejecting him, He's still running after me, right, And it wasn't to the point to where life was really happening. I had another child and stuff just start piling up. I had to look up and have a conversation with God. Man, I had I was off some ecstasy, and I talk about this in the in the in the in the in the beginning of the book, and my heart racing, and I knew I was gonna die.

I just knew it.

And it took that Charlot Magne for me to get through my anger, get through my frustration. When the pressure hit, I knew where to go. And I looked up and had a conversation with God and he sentially made a deal with it.

Man, you let me live. I'm done, I'm tired.

I'm sorry forgetting I had to And I made it through that, obviously, And that was the start of my journey. Did it happen overnight, though, But I started softening my heart. I started being open to God again. I started being I started listening to Verge a little bit more. You know,

That was that was a memorial. I never forget that. I never forget that.

And then giving me the power to sustain me all these years in a sport like boxing, being a young father and a young husband, like, man, I'm not that good. Like without a relationship with God and having that power working in my life. Oh, y'all gonna be reading about me on the bottom of the taker for sure. In one part of my mind says, all you would have held it together, you would have been fine. But the other part of me saying, you're.

Not that good.

So that's the apothea syndrome.

Yeah, so's it's all the process that got me to his feet and then everything that ensued after I've seen too much, Charla Mane, and I've experienced too much to go back. I just had personal experience where it's like do and I'm not the kind of person that can just read a rule book and then try to follow it, Like I need to feel something tangible, something that's real.

I felt that, and I feel that to this day.

What made you start going into like seek therapy and things of that nature, Because a lot of people that's very spiritual, they say, oh, God is enough.

What made you realize I needed something else?

Well, I got great counselors at my church. I chose to go that route because I wanted a godly perspective with it. You know, I don't knock anybody else. You got to know what's good for you, right. But then it just kind of naturally happened. I wasn't like, all right,

Represent God and I'd be weird of noxious about it, but just live the life in front of it. I can do this. So it just kind of happened. Charlamgne.

It wasn't really a conscious decision, but I knew I felt better when I did it. I knew I felt lighter. I knew it gave me hope, and I do it to this day when I feel that pressure hit. Yeah, I have my relationship with God, but I got a core group of brothers that I call I gotta. I got a few people at my church I can put past. I need to holl let you I need to come what's what's going on?

Comes to nout. I need that, So I just begin to see the value of it over time.

I just reported a story about Ryan gonna see it and everything that he's going through now when we were having a conversation earlier about should they call his fight because he seems to be, you know, just going through so many things and just you know, and publicly we're seeing it, you know what I mean, like, how what would you what do you have to say to speak to that?

Or he's in a tough spot right now because you've got this fight coming up and you do not have time for self care or you got to prepare for war.

So it's it's it's this stuff is coming at a bad time. And it didn't just come. This stuff.

It's probably been going on and it's just showing itself now. I don't know about the social media stuff and if that stuff is him, because he did put out a video saying that he didn't have access to his stuff. But the things that I've heard him say, it seems I it seems off. I'm not trying to minimize a marginalize what he seems to be going through, but you know his father was like, oh, he's just trolling the wrong way. I've heard him say things about trolling, so

It's a lot.

You pushing your body past the limit two three times a day.

That's a lot.

When do you have time to focus on yourself? You don't, and he's not.

So it's really sad to see it, and it's really concerning to see because young kid with a lot, a lot of money, big following, but it's clearly something going on.

On the back of the book you have what if I die? Why did you have that question?

That was the moment that I was telling you all about where I felt like I was gonna overdose. Yeah, that was the moment, and for me being hard head at that time of my life, that's what it took, unfortunately, but it's a it's a moment I'll never forget.

This is a human interest story, man. This is about a young.

Man who had a dream, who almost lost it all and gave his life to God. And it's just been trying to walk this thing out and do life. But just do it better than my family members did it, and hopefully my kids will do it.

Better than I didn't.

That's right. You have it, andre Ward.

Killing the image bookstores everywhere right now, everywhere you buy books, go get it.

That's right. And it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning everybody.

Hey NV, just hilarious charlamage the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to jest with the message.

Just rob the miwork, just don't do is gonna bring numbers.

On the Breakfast Club, the stocks stocks.

Now we can get back into a Jerroi Carmichael. He is starting to put out his own documentaries on HBO. Now his parents do not support him being gay. At one point, his mother tries to pray his gay away. This whole debut March twenty ninth. Y'all, we have a little snip bit of the trailer.

I have a boyfriend now.

When I came out, yeah, reacted like someone died. It hurt my feelings. Mom basically said I was going to held I.

Didn't like the Bible.

I don't think anybody's being hard on you.

I think people are calling you to do better.

Hell lord, I'll come to you.

Gerard. And I take the desire from my son to be with a mail and he's a slam my part.

I love you.

This times to be discussed on camera.

Yes I bring in cameras, and yes that's my way, and yes I'm afraid to have these conversations without them.

It's just blut. How many specially this draw call Michaels gonna do about being gay? I don't love that's my guy.

Every docuseries, every special, it's like he's almost like he's coming out again for.

The first time.

Would you pray with your mom, if your mom trying to pray the gay away, would you would you sit down like Molas.

Pray The respect that he has for his mom, I think that he just Yeah, it's tough, but something that I just don't like that, she said in her prayer.

She was like, God, we come to you, and I.

Didn't come to You know, he's just showing respect to his mother, you know what I'm saying, but his dad. I think what's more interesting about this docuseries or whatever is that it sheds the light on his.

Parents not supporting him in that, you know what I mean.

You know, this is the first time, right, the first docuseries he did. This was even before his special. The special was called. I forgot what the special was called. But the first dot you said he did with HBO, he told them and it was like they didn't even care.

It was just like nonchalant about it.

This joking.

Yeah.

And by the way, it felt like the public didn't even care. Nobody said anything about it. We talked about it when he came up here, and then when he did the special, when he said it in the special, everybody's like, oh, draw Carmichael comes out. But I'm like, he said that before, So I guess this is a continuation of it. Maybe he needed to do them closer together. You are like sequels that are coming out two three four years apart.

Still life though, and he's still trying to figure out that still having these conversations with his family, and.

You can tell that he's very close with his parents, so it may affect him that they react in that way. But the first time, going back to like you said, when they told him and when he told them and they didn't really care, maybe that was the way they did it on camera because oh, Dad is like, do we gotta do this on camera?

He was like, yeah, this is the way that I want to be known.

So maybe behind the scenes they're treating him a different way, like they're just totally like undermining him who he is, who he prefers to be.

That could be dangers too.

Yeah, and that's why he wants.

It to be on camera. Just start just stop paying for everything.

They can't accept your life, if they can't accept who you are and your lifestyle, and stop paying.

For they paying for everything. Is he paying for everything.

His parents might have?

I'm sure yes, I'm sure does very well for himself. His family's in North Carolina. Yes, and he loves his family, so of course he takes care. But if you don't love my life, though, I bet y'all stop paying for ever. You know what I'm saying. Rithaniel. That was the name of the spion. But it's it's very deadly.

I don't want to say deadly, but it could be odd when you have older parents and you put them on camera and you start talking because something like my parents.

No filters, there's no filter. Want his good nineties gay slurs. Let me put my daddy up. That's why he don't even meant him. He don't even meet him in the way y'all mean. But that's why I hope he'll listen to about this club you're feeling right now. It's with the cowboy out there in Kidfield.

Was happening right to your cowboys roper, Remember he told me shut up?

Yeah, I can tell you right knock. Can hear him in my head? Tell that Bige.

Every day?

Why do you act?

Gay?

Son?

Act anyway?

Drake Bell opens up about sexual abuse. A few weeks ago, I reported an upcoming docum series is called Quiet on Set The Dark Side of Kids TV. It's an ID Channel documentary that will reveal the unsafe work environment for child actors who worked with Dan Schnyder. In the earlier promos, they never revealed which child actor experienced the sexual abuse.

But in the latest round of promo, Drake Bell comes forward.

Drake Bell is from Like All That The Amanda Show, and he later later became known for his own Nickelodeon show, Drake and Josh. Drake will be speaking on being sexually abused by Brian Peck. Brian Peck was a dialogue coach for Nickelodeon. In two thousand and four, he was convicted of sexual abuse and charge sexual abuse charges in order to register as a sex offender. Now, in two thousand and three, he was arrested on eleven charges related to

What's that coming up?

The documentary is set to air March seventeenth, and they will air on Max.

So I'm watching that.

I'm interested in that too, just because I want to see how an institution like Nickelodeon, as big as it was, they didn't have proper protections in place for kids. The whole network is centered around child stars. Yeah, they're not a system in place to protect these children.

And Drake Bell was not the only one.

And then what's crazy on the quiet on the set trailer, it's producers on there acting like they don't know what's going to It was somebody?

It wasn't.

It wasn't somebody on one of our shows? Was it and the lady behind the camera was like, yes it was, and they sitting there, I'm sorry, they acting just like the Nickelodeon kids back in the day, like and acting. They asked off like they don't know what the documentary is about.

So what you thought this was?

Yeah?

Oh no, Maybe they didn't know what was happening to the kids, is what they were trying to say. I don't know.

I haven't seen it, but well we'd see March seventeenth. What's going on?

That's just for the mess for the second album.

Danky Jess Charlemagne will give it that down, Cue man far.

After the hour.

I need a news anchor named Corey Stark from Saint Louis to come to the front of the congregation. But we're gonna use this as a teachable moment. Are a moment to bring some much needed change. We'll discuss when we come back.

All right, we'll get to that next.

It's the Breakfast Club, Warner.

You're checking out the Breakfast Club, Charlaage. Some donkey to day is just sudden, Charlotte Man, I was ready.

For the day.

I never read the Donkey other day.

What is it.

Again, charlamn Y you are.

Every day, Charlotte Lane the same It's true.

Donkey today for Thursday March seventh.

Today the seventh raight Yees Thursday March seventh goes to Saint Louis news station k m OB and one of their anchors, Corey Stark. Now, I'm gonna give this man donkey of the day for what he did, Okay, because to be making this mistake in twenty twenty four is insanity. But we're gonna have to have a family discussion too, because I'm sick of you hypocritical, contradicting ass colored folks

Now. KMOV has been forced to issue an apology.

Corey Stark has been forced to issue after issue an apology after he said this American.

Dream, but tonight colored homeowners are sounding the A arm when it comes to undervalue to home appraisals.

Play it one with time, Right.

American dream, but tonight colored homeowners are sounding the A arm when it comes to undervalued to home appraisals.

Okay, Corey said, tonight colored homeowners are sounding the alarm when it comes to undervalued home appraisals, and the colors lost their minds about it. Now, First of all, the fact that the word colored is distracting from the actual point of the story Corey was trying to tell. It's hilarious to me, okay, And the story he was trying to tell is that black people were sounding the alarm

This is us distracting us. Okay.

We complain about our issues not being spoken about in the media, but when they are, we have found a way to deflect to something else.

Now, like I said, Kmov and.

Corey Stark are getting the biggest he haf because this is just a stupid mistake to make in twenty twenty four. All right, we have seen enough examples of white people using the word colored to know this wasn't going in Well. Whoever put that and the prompter is an idiot. Corey Stark repeating it is an idiot, all right. Corey said the words should have never come out of his mouth, and he blamed it on a change to the teleprompter.

Now.

The National Association of Black Journalists said they were appalled and disappointed by its use. They released a statement where they said colored is an offensive term due to its use shites during segregation in the US and the Jim Crow era. It has fallen out of use due to its negative connotation. Remember that line. Okay, The term colored has fallen out of use due to its negative connotation. The NABJ continued by saying, it is upsetting that such a slur would make it to the air. The term

Yes, because Saint Louis is forty percent.

Black and the city is no stranger to racial strife, we would hope KMOV would be more sensitive to how it covers the black community.

I agree with all of that.

Okay, other communities don't let play, don't let people play with them when it comes to racial slurs, and we shouldn't let people play with us either. Now, Corey Stark did issue an apology. He said, KMOV is meeting with community members is we describe to do better every day. The words should have never come out of my mouth, and it does not reflect who I am or what first alert for represents.

End quote.

Now this is where it gets a little confus for me. You know, I'm not the highest grade weed in the dispensary, nor am I a strong as avengers.

So bear with me. I'm always open to learning, So school me if I'm wrong here.

But John Bowman, who is the Saint Louis County president for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Colored People, says he contacted KMOV right after the broadcast because the word colored is triggering for the black community. The president for the NUBACP of Saint Louis, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, says the word colored is triggering for the black community. Nobody gonna say nothing with me.

Strange. I've said this before. Okay, I've said this before.

But if the National Association of Black Journalists says colored is an offensive term due to its usage during segregation in the US and the Jim Crow era, and they said it's falling out of use due to its negative connotation, and they said it's outdated, offensive and racist. With all that said, don't you think it's time for the n double ACP to make a name change.

Absolutely.

Imagine the president of the n DOUBLEACP in Saint Louis making a call to KMOV saying, hello, this is John Bowman from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and I think the word colored is triggering.

For the black community. That sounds stupid.

I know.

Sometimes these crackers just want to be like nigga please, okay, all right. I agree with everything the NABJ said about the word color. I agree with what John Bowman said about the word color. But I also think we look like devil, damn fool saying we are offended by this word when the NAACP is right there using the word So, how was Corey Stark or any other other supposed to say the full name of the NUBACP, the National Association for the Advancement to See Word People.

HM, Like, what are we doing? Okay, black people, shouldn't we practice what we preach.

I'm one of those people who believe whatever I demand from you, I much first demand to myself. So I'm gonna need you colors to figure this out. Okay, at least before the next Black History Month, right, because when you don't practice what you preach, all I can hear isocracy.

Please let Chelsea handle give kmov and Corey start the biggest he hall hee haw hee haw. That is way too much.

Dan Maynes right now, want color beyond social media? Argument with me, y'all talk among yourselves and figure that out.

That is crazy.

How you gonna somebody no get to day or coloring it up? And then you're calling us colors.

Because I have donated to the National Association for the Advancement of Color People.

And that's crazy because I feel like trash because I was nominated for the.

People, two of them that's good for being for the b M film right to change it.

Changing.

I'm not colored, but it.

Does make it does they should change it? Very very confused that guy calls me. Yeah, you calling me like color people. I'm offended by the word color, but you're calling from the National National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Come on, y'all, come on, let's use some common since Yeah.

Guys, come on now, and you just how people feel about the N word too, though, you know that, Yeah, ain't no organizations with the N word?

Okay, well, yeah, ain'tations? You know how you know, how can people be upset with a no uganizations?

And that's all play. It's all slang and slurs. And I'm not I'm not saying they're wrong either. I'm just saying that there's between slang and slurs and having an organization called the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. I agree with everything that they said about the word, you know, being offensive due to its usage during segregation in the US and the Jim Crow era and the n A b J said it's falling out of use

And I do feel like, okay, so I get what you saying, envy, but I don't think that that's a good metaphor. I mean a good uh you know what you mean? Yeah, exactly, but we'll say what I mean, thank you A good example. I think like the football team, like the Washington Redskins. Okay, they had to change that. They are now the Washington Commanders. I think that's kind of like what that is. And I do agree they had to change that.

But there's no other group of people that use a slur as a term of endearment. Though you never see a bunch of white people like you don't see.

That, do you?

Times?

Sometimes they be doing that's playing in slurs, real organization that has existed for years now with us a hard e all nord no.

Oh like trigger but yeah, yeah, you know what when we come back down that Rowland to be doing us think for that donkey.

Day just like a colored it's just.

Colored.

Nobody saying color what Oh my goodness down rawlins comedian when we come back and don't moves to breakfast club, go boarding the breakfast club morning everybody, it's DJ M V Jesse Larry Charlamage, the guy we are to Breakfast Club. We have a special guest in the building as a Netflix special that's out right now.

I'm familiar with the old ridden law love your friend, and this unwritten companion, hate your enemy.

I'm challenging that if you.

Simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a metal Any run of the meal center does that.

That's in a word. What I'm saying is grow up. I love you, I love you to scripture, you texted me because you texted me.

Matthew five five, Media Charlamagne happy are the mild tempered? Since they would inherit the earth? That's Matthew five five. Welcome, Welcome. How are you feeling, brother, I feel very mild. In fact, I'm gonna tell you this is how mald I feel. I've looked at the careers of a lot of people, right yes, and some of those people that are super hot that aren't that wild, they're not doing the same thing that the mild performers.

I don't use names. I'm not talking about anybody. I mean, we could get to it. I mean it's not listen. I had a conversation with a very close friend of mind. And they said they knew that I was doing the breakfast club right, and they said, Donelle, don't do it. That's what that person says, don't breakfast.

They don't do what I'm not.

Used to say.

They said, don't do what they're going to try to do. You always he said, don't do it. And the reason why, he said, here's the thing. You could say, I'm giving light to somebody that doesn't deserve light. I'm giving energy and pumping up something that doesn't have to be pumped up. Now we could talk about the situation. I see that sinister, nasty light skin. Looked at your having. You look very light. You look very like lighter than normal, set like. You

You have to get what people talk about in the streets. I don't want to do that, but we can't. No, I want to hear and wait, wait, what's special A new day? Know what platform? Netflix?

Not on the YouTube, not a podcast? Continue Netflix. I'm just saying there's levels of.

All right, yes, way that's what we do.

Are you I'm still in the top ten, that's what we call from. People don't understand that to look for clicks. This is called in this business of it's called charting.

Okay.

Now, there are a lot of shows on Netflix, and here's when the world, not just a podcast, sees you when you chart. But my special drop on the twenty seventh. The next day, it was charted at number two. Now, no, no, no, no, no, let's talk about it.

Don't try to. I don't need that congratulation. I don't want your congratulations. I want to talk about the facts.

I have a respectful question that before that, I have to answer this question. First, special drops question you and you were getting there?

Okay.

It charted nonumber two. Yes, and it held on to number two for three days. It went to number four for a couple of days, it went to number seven. I'm not really sure even if it's charging right now. But to have a Netflix special to come out as many programs that are Netflix just to get recognized in the top ten, it's a big joint. It's a big deal, and it's the reason why I support any comic that want to follow my lead and be mild. You should do it, That's what I'm saying. And to address that,

No, but no, no, I got to say this to it. It's in your face, you sinistered.

I like, that's the type of you are.

I don't get this.

You've always been such a mild mannered comic. What is setting you off about this situation?

The thing that's setting me up about the situation it's being called mild. I'm gonna tell you why. It's the same issue wh I here with you for a person that I'm bringing you back in when I want to, I'm gonna pray for you. Dear father, help this.

All right? The point I'm making, what was the point of can you keep you on your Why you don't like to be called a mind?

The reason why?

And it's I say, the issue I had with you, And I said, okay, keep on trying to create the narrative that he's not funny. You don't understand it's not true. I said, to begin, let me say this, let me talk to a comedian you know the in word for us not funny and corny. As much success as you've had, and I know that if you've dealt with they, sayers and everything, and you can brush it off, your numbers

Who is saying you mouth?

If that person is now on a level of what I've done, when you talk about what your mouth saying, resume, even on a level, it's not even fair for you to make an assessment of what you think my career is because I could do I can do the resumes and.

This is what I could do. Resume.

You can say the resume.

I know you saw scorpion balls. I know I'm I'm gonna deliver yourself. You know what I'm saying. It's like, Okay, who's judging me? And then when somebody's judging, you're making a critique of me, what are you doing? What are you doing to your career? But sitting back trying to on a mother and I take offense to anybody say not funny, because I know after thirty.

Years, that's not what the streets are saying. Isn't that the sign of a narcissist? Yes, always bringing it back to you. It's not about you.

But but did you open me?

This interview is me?

That's right day new doing it. I'm feeling good. But you opened up for him that night right a left actory?

What?

No, I didn't.

Okay.

I think it's very petty for comedians to try to be critics of comedians when you're in the same field. Nobody does that, And I know the question is, well, what's up with all this comedy thief or whatever?

And it's unfortunate who got that question? I had that question here. There's an elephant in a row.

We ask every other comedian that comes up here that question. And I was gonna get to that. How you feel about the comedy beef in the climate that it's in. Let's take away the podcast? Who talks about everybody to get attention, let's.

Comedy? I answer this way is to do you got to like comics, white comms, black commons? Whatever.

Yeah, the thing is in our community, we feel like it only could be one black person on top of one time. Nobody wants to share the stage. They feel like Hollywood picks this person. But everybody can win. Everybody wants to be Batman, but it's gonna be more Robbins than anything. We're not supportive of each other, very very selfish, very competitive, but not the point of everybody.

Though.

We see we're talking to you. Sorry, I'm talking to a comedian. Do you want to do comedy? You can start like we did. We can do open mics. I know you have a platform and you think you could do anything. Do we interrupt cars like this? You imagine me interfering when you talking about one of your past cards.

Sorry, continue anywhere in mind goodness.

The question is we very very very very hateful and as bad as a climate has been in comedy, this is the common denominator with everybody that's been a subject a discussion from say say and if all these names that came up, the one thing that's common with everybody is that we all started from nothing. There's not a story of anybody's names going up that didn't come from one family house.

You know what I'm saying. Nothing.

Everybody, everybody they talk about had a dream and they turn their dream into reality. So my thing, if you want to be critical of that, then use that same criticism and talk about the come up, talk about the people that have done it, and let people know that this is something that you can focus on and you can do it, you can be good at it, and you.

Make it successful.

The only thing right now our in our comedy community is that people are trying to sell controversy.

Now.

They don't want to sell jokes anymore because they know what moves the needle. Every podcast platform. I did a whole media run and everybody soon as I walked in, they wanted the controverty which I heard so about that they want, oh I heard this because they know that our society, we gravitate toward negativity more than anything. That's why you look at news, the news, whatever New York news, you look at it. Person was murdered in Brooklyn, person

So when you try to discredit that, I'm gonna defend.

That we got more with donnyll Rawlings when we come back as the Breakfast Club, good Morning, Yet we're still kicking it with Donall Rawlings say special A New Day is out right now? Can I ask you a real question? No, when you got into the I said no. When you got into the the mild disagreement, why didn't you leave the first time? Why you kept leaving and coming back and leaving and coming back and leaving and coming back.

First off, that day, I closed three shows. My name called went up there, destroyed the show. But also know that I had to make an announcement about my special, and I wanted to say something that was real. So I had the crowd up here. I could have said good night. I took it down and I explained what this special was meant to me, how it got here, and it was a very hard film. If you listened to that video, you could tell people's ride with me.

I didn't have to. I ain't gotta get on standing though.

Right there I said, I made my points, and I knew I was going to use this, so I thought that they was giving me the light. I'm like, I'm the last one. I would all my time, not knowing that anybody else was on the show that I thought I was closing.

They also get you off the stage with the headline. No, they wasn't. Well, Corey was headlining, right, so I knew what off my time?

So I'm leaving theod night, good night. And then they said, we got one more guests coming up from the thirty thirty podcast over a number of this yeah, yeah, yeah, and they said blah blah blah, and I was like, oh, I want to listen to this.

Yeah.

And the reason why I want to listen to it, I had already wanted to talk to this guy why. I'm gonna tell you why because I was fed up and like a lot of comedians, fed up with the antics of why everything that comes out your mouth has to be negative? And I wanted to have a conversation not just for me, but for the comedy community. Why is it that you always have to talk to about people and nobody asked you?

But why do you let it bother you? Because you know we've been in those rooms. You know, I've seen you in a small venue and I've seen you in huge venues. I said, I've seen David. Why did you let what bother me? But why are you letting what he said bother you? Because you know what it is?

You know you you don't know I'm sensitive. I'm sensitive.

And then even with you, you know, outside of being sensitive, this is a person that always does this like all the time. You know what I'm saying, It's the same thing. And the only way that you can actually ever get to him, to talk to him, is if you pop up on him. Because even in my experience, I mean I'm talking about this person has talked about me years and years and years. Try to apologize through another comedian. Nah,

Then I had to call you. I'm talking about block my number out.

To call you, and you answer the phone like who you know what I'm saying, and then you apologize, and then I would have never made those those comments about you had I knew you were a comedian. What what that got to do with me being on a meeting apologized before he has on the phone, and then later and later you get on that mic again, on on on the show whatever, on your podcast show, which is

Without anybody being able to respond, without having an opinion of anybody. And here's the thing, whether you know or not, it was so many comedians that called me and said thank you. And going back to your question, is that I look at that question. I listen, Yes, you asked questions. Back to your point, is that him like I'm a good friend. People want to say all this, Well, even with that, he was like when I had a special

Dave or not.

So what what if they didn't put you on?

So what you what I'm saying, I'm working, I'm answering like dumb questions, you know what I'm saying.

Like, and this what people don't understand. And this is what the lawd came.

They just handing out specials. That's the point. Are very deserving it.

That's the point I'm making. But people don't understand that any success somebody get hard work. Whatever they want to say, you had to do so and so. So you dismissing work ethics, you're dismissing going hard, You're dismissing god thing you take.

People.

See, I'm not saying you know, I'm just saying this. It just makes sense.

Just like if I wanted to do a podcast, right, why wouldn't I go to Charlemagne who has his own podcast? Right, that's my guy, and he's gonna hopefully look out the best interest. Even when I was doing my book, I called Charlamae to say, Yo, these are the terms for the book.

What do you think he's done it before we can.

Have the question?

Could you and Corey ever get on the same page? I think him and just what different? Because what I need to get on talking about somebody's child is nothing. But could you will say this?

He was for me?

I respected him.

You know.

Everybody don't agree with his style of comedy, and I've said this to people before. Again, I don't want to talk about it because there's the thing. I make a conversation seventeen minutes, all right, because somebody told me.

We didn't have Now it's a mission. Have y'all spoke? No, I don't really have it nothing, I don't really.

But then you have to understand something to this man doesn't respect his own family. You know, at some point it's like there's no making up with a person like this, there is no trying to understand to sit down like that type of person needs healing and therapy of his own I think that's.

Why I said that prayer earlier. The thing is, there is no reason too for me to do it.

I've already started with limited contact, always started with a mutual respect. But if you lose respect for me, I lose respect for you and even when I say what I said on stage.

Now one time did I berate him? That one time?

Did I say anything bad about his comedy? Now one time I say anything about his family? That one time I say anything bad about him. I explained to what I am. And I know that there's nobody gonna believe that I'm a mild comic. There's nobody gonna believe that I'm not.

So you think, here's a.

Lot of people that don't know what you're even talking about. Right now, That's what I'm saying, Like why he got this? You have a great special called a New Days on Netflix right now?

Make it a new day done.

Now, here's the thing this conversation there wasn't This conversation wasn't specific to one person. There was a conversation about this industry and have people move. And like you said, it's a new day, it's a new dawn. It's a new life for me. And I'm feeling good down there. Rawlins special it's still charging on Netflix, and I want to say, I appreciate.

This time, appreciate its good to see you.

Congratulations, It's always good.

It's always good to see you, Donel. I want to say congratulations. Really, I really appreciate you. I really appreciate you. I support you.

I want everybody to get along. You know what I'm saying. I want you and Corey to make up. Don't have to say nothing, but.

I appreciate you for joining us.

It's a new dogs live for me, alright.

It's crazy, Jean, It's crazy how there's never been a black soap opera yet?

Soap opera seems so black. But it's eighty nine. But I can't even remember one before.

What was that?

What was the black soap opera?

I never I don't remember. I grew up going to my grandma house Days of our Lives. That wasn't black. No, no, no, it wasn't black. It's never been a black one. Yeah, I don't know what I'm saying that I said nineteen eighty nine, that's the paper. I can't remember one. I don't remember.

I don't either, But you know what I thought, Tyler Perry, that's what he was doing. He did black soap operas, Like what is the Oval? What is what is the Half and a half? Nots like that doing every day though?

Right?

I thought every day black show that's been on everything like that. No, I can't remember what either.

Well, we about to see it. It's gonna be called The Gates. Yeah, and it's what I don't know if I'm messing up her name, but Michelle vel Jean or whoever she is the writer on The Black, the Bold, and the Beautiful.

Oh, they said it was called Generations. I don't remember that black soap opera.

It came on two o'clock in the morning when everybody was sleep. So the last time a broadcaster launched the new soap opera was in nineteen ninety nine, NBC's Passions. Okay, that's what they said, Passions.

I just googled about that. It's mad white people, and when the hell is black about Generations? It's only three black people. I don't see nothing four.

Let one and I see two now, John Allen and Christen CHRISTI Saint John's black white people.

Black Exactly Why would y'all say that? People just be lying? Well, it's considered a black soap opera. Why I don't know.

Well, it doesn't have an air date. Or anything.

But we should be we should look.

Forward to this.

Oh, it was the first soap opera feature of black family from its inception.

But that's not a black soap. That's not that I don't make it a black so open. No, but I don't care.

Tyler Perry with the have and the have nots and the oval, that should be considered it opera. You know he's been doing this. Salbury got a little bit of everything under his belt.

So that's amazing.

Okay, congratulations CBS and NAAC Color People.

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Okay, color. Never mind the fact that John Bowman from Saint Louis to Saint Louis, president of the NAACP, said that the word color is triggering for the black community.
