- 13:57Speaker 11: make it no matter what type he really pushing like here,
- 14:01Speaker 11: you know, like he came like he came out the
- 14:03Speaker 11: welfare line. But I do want that for him, but
- 14:07Speaker 11: I don't want to be there to see it, you
- 14:09Speaker 11: know what I'm saying. I don't think it'll break my
- 14:11Speaker 11: heart to see it, but yeah, I would, you know
- 14:14Speaker 11: what I'm saying. Like if I could have fell asleep
- 14:16Speaker 11: for about two three years and then woke up, they
- 14:18Speaker 11: were like.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Man, we glad you up. Man, we were struggling, damn
- 14:23Speaker 2: and we ain't eight.
- 14:25Speaker 11: I think that would offer them some some principles that
- 14:29Speaker 11: would benefit them get And I think that you know,
- 14:32Speaker 11: that kind of you can't teach that, you know what
- 14:34Speaker 11: I'm saying, That kind of tenacity and that kind of
- 14:37Speaker 11: die hard, you know, just just resilience.
- 14:41Speaker 2: You can't teach that, you know what I mean?
- 14:43Speaker 7: All Right, we got more with t I. When we
- 14:44Speaker 7: come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,

- 14:53Speaker 7: t I Charlomagne.
- 14:54Speaker 3: When you lose people like oh g Clay are even
- 14:56Speaker 3: a capital for lun did that energy ever get filled
- 14:58Speaker 3: in your life or is it a constant hold.
- 15:00Speaker 11: Man, It's definitely a constant hole. You just kind of
- 15:04Speaker 11: getting them and you figure out ways to go about
- 15:09Speaker 11: your day.
- 15:09Speaker 2: I appreciate the.
- 15:11Speaker 11: Things that are there more than I take notice of
- 15:14Speaker 11: the things that are missing.
- 15:16Speaker 2: That's the positive of it.
- 15:18Speaker 11: It gives you a great appreciation for the things that
- 15:20Speaker 11: are still present in your life, and it makes you
- 15:23Speaker 11: just just value the time, just the presence and show
- 15:28Speaker 11: you how precious life is, how precious the loved ones
- 15:32Speaker 11: we have, and how short the time we have with
- 15:34Speaker 11: a mill. But nah, you don't never feel no holes.
- 15:37Speaker 11: You know, the hole just grows and you learn to
- 15:40Speaker 11: live with it.
- 15:41Speaker 1: You ever give yourself the proper opportunity degree?
- 15:44Speaker 11: I mean, what is the proper opportunity to degree? Let's
- 15:46Speaker 11: see if I said I gave myself an entire week.
- 15:48Speaker 11: Who says a week is enough? Let's say I said
- 15:51Speaker 11: a month? Who says a month is enough? So you
- 15:53Speaker 11: know what I mean, Like, what is the proper opportunity?
- 15:56Speaker 11: You just go through your process. You exist in that moment.
- 16:00Speaker 11: Don't try to run away from the feelings you're feeling.
- 16:04Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
- 16:04Speaker 11: You let yourself go through that process, and you you
- 16:08Speaker 11: present yourself as you are. You know, don't try to
- 16:11Speaker 11: cover nothing up, don't try to duck and hide from
- 16:15Speaker 11: the pain that you're feeling. You just go through it,
- 16:18Speaker 11: you know what I mean, and as you go through it,
- 16:19Speaker 11: you learn to live with it.
- 16:21Speaker 3: You think you'll ever tell you your full complete story like.
- 16:24Speaker 1: You and only you can truly? You think you would
- 16:29Speaker 1: ever tell it all?
- 16:30Speaker 2: Not all? Nah, I don't tell it at all.
- 16:32Speaker 11: I think I tell as much as I feel with
- 16:36Speaker 11: help and as much as I feel would would be
- 16:39Speaker 11: therapeutic to me. But you know something, man, you know
- 16:43Speaker 11: some things will never be spoken. So there there is
- 16:46Speaker 11: an intention to do a one man show. Oh like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 16:53Speaker 11: Well I have an opportunity to step out and not
- 16:56Speaker 11: just perform music, but to tell a story. It had
- 16:59Speaker 11: a music kind of incorporate through what you know as
- 17:03Speaker 11: a part of a narrative. So you know what I'm saying,
- 17:07Speaker 11: I guess I'll tell you that. So that's what the
- 17:08Speaker 11: standards was for. Stand ards was to prepare me to
- 17:12Speaker 11: stand up and speak for an hour or more in
- 17:16Speaker 11: front of a crowd, to know that I could do
- 17:19Speaker 11: it and as I get stronger in it, now, I
- 17:22Speaker 11: can evolve into my intention, which is a one man show.
- 17:26Speaker 2: And that's you know, man.
- 17:29Speaker 11: I don't want to say a play, but was going
- 17:32Speaker 11: brow it? Yeah, yeah, So you know what I'm saying.
- 17:36Speaker 11: So that that's kind of where I see my performance going.
- 17:39Speaker 11: I took a stab at it with the orchestra show
- 17:42Speaker 11: that we did December thirtieth, which went phenomenally by the way,
- 17:46Speaker 11: So I see, like, you know, an orchestra and me
- 17:49Speaker 11: and story in and out of songs, jokes, you know
- 17:54Speaker 11: what I'm saying, and do that for about two and
- 17:56Speaker 11: a half hour. That's where I see my career going.
- 18:00Speaker 11: Rather than Jack go and hop around on rolling loud stages,
- 18:03Speaker 11: you know what I mean. I just feel like that
- 18:06Speaker 11: kind of calls on more of my my strengths and
- 18:09Speaker 11: gifts than you know, Jake going and you know, trying
- 18:12Speaker 11: to go on tour with you know, two on one
- 18:14Speaker 11: Savage and so on. You know what I'm saying that,
- 18:17Speaker 11: I just feel like there's more age appropriate for me.
- 18:20Speaker 3: All right, But that's the lesson to be learned, right
- 18:22Speaker 3: because that's why I don't judge none of these rappers now,
- 18:25Speaker 3: because if you would have judged twenty plus years ago.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Man, please Gucci, any of these dudes.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Like, look at where y'all are now, How y'all have avoved,
- 18:33Speaker 1: How y'all grown as men?
- 18:34Speaker 2: God is good?
- 18:35Speaker 1: That's right now? Is comedy your number one love now?
- 18:39Speaker 1: Or is this the music?
- 18:40Speaker 2: Man?
- 18:41Speaker 11: I really do love it, you know. I mean like
- 18:44Speaker 11: I can't I can't tell. It's a different type of.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Love, you know what I'm saying. Like it's just like
- 18:49Speaker 2: a like a son and a daughter. You know what
- 18:51Speaker 2: I'm saying.
- 18:52Speaker 11: I really do love it. You know, you know you
- 18:55Speaker 11: love something when you do it for free? You feel
- 18:57Speaker 11: me when you free? I mean going do comedy. I
- 19:01Speaker 11: just go grab the mic and do that for free sometime,
- 19:03Speaker 11: you know, just because you know it feels good to me.
- 19:06Speaker 2: There's a piece and the sense of therapy there as
- 19:09Speaker 2: how you know you're rich.
- 19:10Speaker 10: You know.
- 19:15Speaker 2: What that means?
- 19:15Speaker 11: Okay, I mean to shape but yeah, man, but yeah,
- 19:21Speaker 11: I love it. And the Haha Mafia were still out
- 19:24Speaker 11: there putting in work, tearing down We're still tearing down

- 19:41Speaker 11: of like uh, you know, death comedy Jam.
- 19:43Speaker 2: And so on and so forth.
- 19:45Speaker 11: It's called Haha Mafia in the Trap and uh we
- 19:48Speaker 11: filmed it at the Trap Music Museum. It's like a
- 19:51Speaker 11: host with three comedians, probably about thirty minute episode. We
- 19:55Speaker 11: did fifteen of them, you feel me. We shot that independently.
- 19:58Speaker 11: So oh, we also have departments on All Black, you
- 20:02Speaker 11: know what I mean that we wrote it, directed it

- 20:45Speaker 11: man with us, with it, and this is uh to
- 20:48Speaker 11: celebrate the life and the legacy of somebody incredibly important
- 20:50Speaker 11: to me and incredibly important to the careers of so
- 20:54Speaker 11: many people from Atlanta in this generation going into the
- 20:57Speaker 11: next one.
- 20:58Speaker 1: I did when we.
- 20:59Speaker 7: Appreciate at your tid it's the breakfast club.
- 21:02Speaker 1: Good morning, wake up, wake up. You're like into the
- 21:05Speaker 1: breakfast club.
- 21:07Speaker 7: Pull at everybody in the DJ nv J. Just hilarious,
- 21:10Speaker 7: Charloman the guy, we are the breakfast club. Now you're
- 21:12Speaker 7: just joining us. This was trending yesterday. It was a
- 21:15Speaker 7: post that said, the new generation of women don't ever
- 21:18Speaker 7: cook breakfast because they don't wake up until three. That's
- 21:21Speaker 7: what this conversation is coming from eight hundred five A
- 21:23Speaker 7: five one oh five one, and we're asking why do
- 21:26Speaker 7: a lot of women don't.
- 21:27Speaker 6: Like to cook? That's crazy. Waking up at three is
- 21:29Speaker 6: a crime.
- 21:30Speaker 1: That's right.
- 21:30Speaker 2: You're on drugs.
- 21:31Speaker 6: You ain't burst the step and this three on drugs.
- 21:33Speaker 1: You definitely are you sleeping till three o'clock and after
- 21:35Speaker 1: new you on dope.
- 21:36Speaker 6: But when I was doing drugs, I don't care.
- 21:37Speaker 5: I was still working up like a lover, not three o'clock,
- 21:41Speaker 5: you know, because sometimes drugs do you make your little tide?
- 21:43Speaker 1: Depends what kind of drug though now?
- 21:45Speaker 3: And if we ain't no drug yet, okay, I'm talking
- 21:48Speaker 3: about drugs like dope.
- 21:49Speaker 6: Hard drug. Yes, oh okay, okay, okay, I feel you.
- 21:52Speaker 6: I ain't out know.
- 21:53Speaker 2: That's like, so.
- 21:55Speaker 7: We're asking eight hundred five A five one oh five one,
- 21:58Speaker 7: what are your thoughts? What do you think about that?
- 22:00Speaker 5: I think it's crazy. I do agree that a lot
- 22:04Speaker 5: more women feel that way. I mean they have taken
- 22:06Speaker 5: approach like, Okay, I don't have to cook. I'm so
- 22:08Speaker 5: caught up in my career and work and everything, and
- 22:10Speaker 5: I don't want a man to get in the wrong
- 22:12Speaker 5: mindset about me, like I'm not a homemaker. But baby,
- 22:16Speaker 5: you literally can cook. How would you cook? How would
- 22:18Speaker 5: you eat if you didn't have a man?
- 22:20Speaker 2: You know?
- 22:20Speaker 6: Would you just go out every night? You know?
- 22:22Speaker 5: Because I started off with me cooking for myself, and
- 22:25Speaker 5: then I had a shout cook for him.
- 22:27Speaker 6: I don't care.
- 22:28Speaker 5: Every man that I've had I've cooked for. It's something
- 22:31Speaker 5: that I like to do. Cooking is very therapeutic. And
- 22:33Speaker 5: then it's the way that I take care of myself.
- 22:35Speaker 5: It's like a survival thing. I see my mother do it,
- 22:37Speaker 5: I'm gonna do it. I don't understand why it's like that.
- 22:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know any women who don't cook, but
- 22:42Speaker 3: all the women that.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Are in my life cook Now.
- 22:45Speaker 3: Are some of those women over forty yeah, you know,
- 22:49Speaker 3: but I know them in their thirty two and they
- 22:51Speaker 3: enjoy cooking.
- 22:52Speaker 1: So I don't know who these women already speak of.
- 22:54Speaker 6: And then food is made with love, envy like it's
- 22:57Speaker 6: made with love. So you can appreciate a.
- 22:59Speaker 5: Home cook mail made by a woman, you know what
- 23:02Speaker 5: I'm saying, more than you can at an end at
- 23:06Speaker 5: a restaurant in you know.
- 23:08Speaker 2: So I wouldn't say this, you know.
- 23:09Speaker 7: Charlamage always jokes that we were born in the nineteen hundreds.
- 23:12Speaker 7: When me and my wife first started, you know, dating,
- 23:14Speaker 7: and when we first got married, we can only order
- 23:17Speaker 7: out two things. You can only get pizza in Chinese food.
- 23:19Speaker 7: Those are the only two things that would deliver. So
- 23:20Speaker 7: we had to cook. She cooked every night. That was
- 23:22Speaker 7: the thing for New York.
- 23:24Speaker 3: Yeah, what I'm saying, My wife always cooked too. I
- 23:27Speaker 3: mean my wife's dad, you know, one of his side hustles.
- 23:29Speaker 3: He's a caterer, so she always knew how to cook.
- 23:32Speaker 3: You always, you know, in the kitchen. That's her thing.
- 23:35Speaker 3: We've been together twenty six years.
- 23:36Speaker 1: I usually do that breakfast cooked.
- 23:37Speaker 7: Yeah, I usually do the breakfast. My wife does the dinner.
- 23:40Speaker 7: That's that's how it that.
- 23:41Speaker 6: That's what Chris does.
- 23:42Speaker 5: He cooks breakfast because I think that's probably the only
- 23:44Speaker 5: thing he can cook. And he but he takes that
- 23:47Speaker 5: on all the time. He'll make breakfast, I make lunch,
- 23:49Speaker 5: I make dinner. That's why I love to see like
- 23:51Speaker 5: Ari Fletcher, Money Bager, your's girlfriend, she cooked well, wife,
- 23:55Speaker 5: she cooks. I love to see young girls cook. Like
- 23:58Speaker 5: when they get it into the kitchen, I'm like, okay, girl, yes,
- 24:00Speaker 5: because you can still be fly business women, you know,
- 24:03Speaker 5: and still cook meals and it looks good.
- 24:06Speaker 1: You think it's a regional thing.
- 24:07Speaker 3: You think, like, you know, more women that's like down
- 24:09Speaker 3: south towards the southern regions.
- 24:11Speaker 1: That's what that's what that's what they do. I think,
- 24:13Speaker 1: so yeah.
- 24:15Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 24:15Speaker 2: I think so yeah, And I think so.
- 24:17Speaker 7: I think a lot of the reason why is one,
- 24:19Speaker 7: I think the food tastes better in the South and
- 24:21Speaker 7: I think up here there's so many options. It's like,
- 24:23Speaker 7: yeah no Live Bo, Dagger and fast food spots on
- 24:27Speaker 7: every corner.
- 24:27Speaker 5: So much food around here where you can just get
- 24:30Speaker 5: all over New York, like so you can.
- 24:31Speaker 6: Never ever be hungry in New York.
- 24:33Speaker 1: But it ain't great. Yeah, it's cool, you know what
- 24:36Speaker 1: I'm saying, ain't great food.
- 24:38Speaker 6: We got Jazzmine on the line, Jasmine, good morning, your thoughts.
- 24:43Speaker 14: Yeah, I feel like there's too much put on women
- 24:47Speaker 14: these days. Back then, women staying home with their kids.
- 24:49Speaker 14: Like now times, like we're working, we have businesses. We're
- 24:52Speaker 14: also taking care of the household, like we're just doing
- 24:54Speaker 14: a lot more.
- 24:55Speaker 8: I feel like as long.
- 24:55Speaker 14: As we're making dinner, like I make dinner. It's like,
- 24:58Speaker 14: as long as I make dinner, that's fine. I don't
- 25:00Speaker 14: to hear no complaints about breakfast.
- 25:03Speaker 2: I get it, I get it.
- 25:04Speaker 5: Thank you, Jasmine say that had no complaints about breakfast.
- 25:10Speaker 7: Angie on the line, Angie, good morning, Good morning. Whatever
- 25:12Speaker 7: though Detroit, what's your thoughts?
- 25:15Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, de tripa Houston all day. So my thoughts
- 25:19Speaker 8: on this topic. So I'm a mom and I'm a wife,
- 25:22Speaker 8: and I also work. I enjoy cooking. I just think
- 25:25Speaker 8: that now, in the current state and the current economic situation,
- 25:30Speaker 8: moms is working forty hours a week. So even if
- 25:33Speaker 8: we do like to cook, and I can think my own,
- 25:36Speaker 8: it's like I'm at work right now, I'm here at seven,
- 25:38Speaker 8: I get off at six, and then the expectation be
- 25:41Speaker 8: to cook the.
- 25:41Speaker 2: Inner every single day.
- 25:42Speaker 8: That's a lot. That's a lot. And sometimes men don't
- 25:46Speaker 8: really understand that my husband does because he we switch
- 25:48Speaker 8: it up. But to go to work all day long
- 25:51Speaker 8: and then come home and then cook and go grocery shopping,
- 25:53Speaker 8: it's exhausted.
- 25:56Speaker 7: You're making a lot of sense, but but I don't know,
- 25:59Speaker 7: because I don't know about your mama.
- 26:00Speaker 2: My mom used to cook every night. My mom worked
- 26:02Speaker 2: nine to five. She'd be home getting.
- 26:04Speaker 7: Already by six thirty seven o'clock every night, and it
- 26:07Speaker 7: was like no choice.
- 26:08Speaker 8: I used to do it with my mother did it too.
- 26:11Speaker 8: My mother did too because my dad works afternoons. And
- 26:14Speaker 8: to this day I called my mom and now say,
- 26:16Speaker 8: I don't know how she did it, and I'm very
- 26:17Speaker 8: thankful that was a different breed of person. But also
- 26:21Speaker 8: my mom didn't have to work. It wasn't required for
- 26:24Speaker 8: her to have to bring in money. Nowadays, it's a
- 26:27Speaker 8: lot of fifty fifty men that want you to bring
- 26:29Speaker 8: in half you have, my.
- 26:32Speaker 2: Mama worked, My worth worked for that.
- 26:37Speaker 7: If I go to my mom house right now, I
- 26:39Speaker 7: don't care what my mom's doing. She was stopping cook
- 26:41Speaker 7: That's exactly She's gonna stop and cook me a meal.
- 26:44Speaker 1: You know, we should ask our parents. But she's a
- 26:46Speaker 1: question you never asked.
- 26:47Speaker 3: What if you have a mom who worked forty hours
- 26:49Speaker 3: a week and came home and kept food on the table.
- 26:53Speaker 1: What areas did she have to sacrifice in because there
- 26:56Speaker 1: had to be something.
- 26:57Speaker 3: There had to be some areas she had to sacrifice,
- 27:00Speaker 3: no relationship between her and your dad in order to
- 27:02Speaker 3: be able to do that.
- 27:03Speaker 1: There had to be something.
- 27:04Speaker 2: You know, my mama.
- 27:05Speaker 7: I don't know about Chelse, but my mom had no
- 27:07Speaker 7: life like there was no outside life like.
- 27:09Speaker 6: She didn't go out with her friend.
- 27:11Speaker 1: She always was home with You really don't know how
- 27:14Speaker 1: to speak. My mom ain't had no life.
- 27:18Speaker 5: Outside of our family like my NEI I know, Robin
- 27:22Speaker 5: is probably excuse.
- 27:23Speaker 1: Me, no.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Outside Lis didn't. It was always about her family.
- 27:29Speaker 3: And those are questions that I think that we should
- 27:31Speaker 3: all ask our parents, because a lot of us don't
- 27:34Speaker 3: know our parents before they were our parents, and you
- 27:36Speaker 3: don't know the sacrifices they probably made to be your parents,
- 27:40Speaker 3: to be somebody's wife, to be somebody's husband. We don't
- 27:43Speaker 3: ever have those conversations with our parents. I think we
- 27:45Speaker 3: should give you a better understanding of what they went
- 27:47Speaker 3: through and what we're currently going through.

- 28:16Speaker 3: You got to you got a very.
- 28:17Speaker 1: Interesting story, man, Darren Waller. That's something that's something I'm
- 28:20Speaker 1: still trying to figure out.
- 28:21Speaker 2: Man. Oh, I like that answer.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Who I am? You know what I'm saying. I don't
- 28:23Speaker 1: got a concrete answer. I'm somebody that's like I'm a creator.
- 28:27Speaker 1: You know, I've been an athlete, but there's a lot
- 28:28Speaker 1: of things that I want to do, our things I
- 28:30Speaker 1: want to try and just continue to go on this journey.
- 28:33Speaker 7: Now you started off, how'd you get into the NFL?
- 28:36Speaker 7: For people that don't know, was it the usual way
- 28:38Speaker 7: that most athletes do?
- 28:39Speaker 1: So? For how did you get into the NFL? Break
- 28:41Speaker 1: down your story a little bit. Yeah, from the beginning
- 28:44Speaker 1: start playing football when I was four. My parents just
- 28:46Speaker 1: kind of threw me in seeing what I wanted to do,
- 28:48Speaker 1: and I it was just a natural love for the game.
- 28:50Speaker 1: But I wasn't really that highly recruited out of high school.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Wasn't that really known in college? Got in trouble a lot,
- 28:58Speaker 1: and what.
- 28:58Speaker 2: School did you go to?
- 28:59Speaker 1: College? Georgia snuck into the late rounds of the draft,
- 29:02Speaker 1: six rounds. I had a lot of character red flags
- 29:04Speaker 1: at the time. From there, started with Baltimore, then moved
- 29:06Speaker 1: to the Raiders, where I spent most of my career,
- 29:08Speaker 1: and then spent the last year with the Giants. Did
- 29:10Speaker 1: you know you had character red flags?
- 29:12Speaker 2: Like?
- 29:12Speaker 3: You know, because self awareness is something a lot of
- 29:13Speaker 3: people don't develop till later when they start doing internal
- 29:16Speaker 3: work on themselves.
- 29:17Speaker 1: But did you know you had character red flags?
- 29:19Speaker 2: That? Did they tell you had them?
- 29:20Speaker 1: At the time, I didn't believe I did. I was
- 29:22Speaker 1: putting the blame on everybody else, and I was resentful
- 29:25Speaker 1: at everybody else and thinking it was other people's fault
- 29:27Speaker 1: that while I was doing the things I was doing,
- 29:28Speaker 1: they didn't understand why I needed to do drugs and
- 29:31Speaker 1: drink it like that. So at the time I did
- 29:34Speaker 1: not have that awareness.
- 29:34Speaker 3: Now I read, yeah, I read that you went from
- 29:36Speaker 3: drug addiction to grocery store clerk the NFL Star.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Yeah. So I went to rehab September twenty seventeen, and
- 29:46Speaker 1: right after I got sober, when I got back home,
- 29:49Speaker 1: I moved in with my parents again, and I was like,
- 29:50Speaker 1: I gotta get a job. I get some structure to
- 29:52Speaker 1: kind of get my life back in order. And due that,
- 29:55Speaker 1: I went to church. My parents worked at Sprouts, and
- 29:57Speaker 1: I just got a job there working grocery clubs, making
- 30:00Speaker 1: the aisles look nice, getting orders from the backstock in
- 30:03Speaker 1: the back. And I was there for probably like seven
- 30:05Speaker 1: months till I was like, all right, I kind of
- 30:06Speaker 1: got my p's and q's going for these drug tests
- 30:09Speaker 1: and everything I could get a chance to be reinstated
- 30:10Speaker 1: into the league. So I started training again and things
- 30:13Speaker 1: just kind of went up from there.
- 30:14Speaker 3: You said something that I want to expound on. You said,
- 30:16Speaker 3: you know you didn't know what led you to drugs?
- 30:18Speaker 3: Are you people didn't know what led you to drugs?
- 30:21Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 30:21Speaker 2: Look what did lead what did you lead you to drugs?
- 30:24Speaker 1: Just a lot of a lot of wounds from when
- 30:26Speaker 1: I was younger man, just like feeling like I wasn't enough,
- 30:28Speaker 1: feeling like I always had to overcompensate the please people,
- 30:31Speaker 1: or to look tough or have this you know, tough
- 30:33Speaker 1: exterior as a man. Improved myself and it was a
- 30:36Speaker 1: lot of pressure, a lot of anxiety, and just wanted
- 30:38Speaker 1: to change the way I felt. I just wanted to
- 30:39Speaker 1: have some peace in my life. And I felt like
- 30:41Speaker 1: that those kind of things brought that piece. But it
- 30:43Speaker 1: was kind of a counterfeit at the time. You know,
- 30:45Speaker 1: it worked for a bit, but in the end it
- 30:47Speaker 1: ends up turning on you, and all those problems you
- 30:50Speaker 1: think you're getting rid of by using are still there
- 30:52Speaker 1: when you wake up the next day, when you come
- 30:54Speaker 1: down from that high, Like it's still waiting on you
- 30:56Speaker 1: to deal with, and I was just putting stuff under
- 30:59Speaker 1: the rug. But yeah, that's kind of why I kind
- 31:01Speaker 1: of got into that lifestyle. Yeah, you have nobody to
- 31:02Speaker 1: talk to when you was younger, like your parents. I
- 31:05Speaker 1: realized now how many people really wanted to help me,
- 31:07Speaker 1: really wanted to be there for me. Just I don't
- 31:10Speaker 1: know why. I felt there was such huge walls between
- 31:12Speaker 1: me and everybody else in my life that it was
- 31:14Speaker 1: just so, you know, and as men like I kind
- 31:16Speaker 1: of grew up in that era where it was like,
- 31:17Speaker 1: you know, rub some dirt on it, don't We don't
- 31:19Speaker 1: really show your feelings, don't. We don't cry, you know,
- 31:21Speaker 1: we pick up by the bootstraps and keep it moving.
- 31:24Speaker 1: And I'm a product of that type of mindset, not
- 31:26Speaker 1: really working.
- 31:27Speaker 7: What was what was so bad growing up as a kid,
- 31:30Speaker 7: Like what was the bruises that you discussed of?
- 31:32Speaker 1: So the funny thing is it wasn't anything like external environment.
- 31:36Speaker 1: I grew up in a nice neighborhood that everything I
- 31:37Speaker 1: ever wanted from my family. But it was more so
- 31:40Speaker 1: like fitting in with the people around me, like around
- 31:41Speaker 1: like people of my skin color was like I wasn't
- 31:43Speaker 1: black enough, and around white people. It was like, oh,
- 31:46Speaker 1: you're not really one of us, but you kind of
- 31:48Speaker 1: are one of us. And I was like one of
- 31:49Speaker 1: the only black kids that were in like the advanced
- 31:52Speaker 1: classes at my school. So I was like, I don't
- 31:54Speaker 1: feel black enough. I'm only black kids in these classes.
- 31:56Speaker 1: When I was on the team with the athletes and stuff,
- 31:58Speaker 1: I always felt like a nerds. It was like these
- 32:00Speaker 1: environments where I was like, damn, I don't feel like
- 32:02Speaker 1: I fit in or I can just show up as
- 32:04Speaker 1: myself in these environments, I always gott to put this
- 32:06Speaker 1: mask on or be somebody different. Was that explains a
- 32:09Speaker 1: lot of the environment that I was growing up in.
- 32:11Speaker 1: The first friends I made, like my neighborhood growing up
- 32:13Speaker 1: were white, and you know a lot of dudes at
- 32:15Speaker 1: my school, and it was just because they was outside
- 32:17Speaker 1: playing ball, like riding bikes, like just doing stuff I
- 32:19Speaker 1: like to do, and you know, kind of getting you know,
- 32:23Speaker 1: jokes made because of those type of things. It was like,
- 32:25Speaker 1: all right, damn, like I gotta like find a way.
- 32:27Speaker 1: And growing up in the South, you know what I'm saying,
- 32:28Speaker 1: football is like religion down there. And I was like, Okay,
- 32:30Speaker 1: I'm good at this. This is going to get me
- 32:32Speaker 1: the acceptance that I've always wanted.
- 32:33Speaker 7: And now I was gonna say that, do you still
- 32:36Speaker 7: have those feelings now fitting in and in those situations?
- 32:38Speaker 11: Now?
- 32:39Speaker 1: Well, I'm a lot more comfortable in my skin. Now.
- 32:41Speaker 1: I still have thoughts of like, all right, like I
- 32:43Speaker 1: need to be successful and attribute that to my worth
- 32:46Speaker 1: in some ways, but it's a lot less present in
- 32:49Speaker 1: my everyday thinking than it was back then.
- 32:50Speaker 3: It's so interesting that you had this conversation because, like
- 32:53Speaker 3: you said, you're from Atlanta. You don't hear this about
- 32:55Speaker 3: black people in Atlanta. Black people in Atlanta. It's like
- 32:58Speaker 3: the total opposite.
- 32:59Speaker 1: They grew around.
- 33:00Speaker 3: They grew up around a bunch of black people, Black
- 33:01Speaker 3: affluent people, black people in positions of power, elected officials,
- 33:05Speaker 3: police officers, everything.
- 33:07Speaker 1: So it's just like, wow, from Atlanta. Yeah, well, I
- 33:09Speaker 1: mean I say, I'm from Acworth, Georgia. It's thirty minutes
- 33:12Speaker 1: out side of Atlanta, so people that's really from Atlanta
- 33:14Speaker 1: and the Inner City. I'm not from the Inner City,
- 33:16Speaker 1: but I'm from that area.
- 33:17Speaker 7: Got you Now, recently you decided to retire from the NFL. Yeah,
- 33:21Speaker 7: now you know you went thirty one, right, but everybody
- 33:23Speaker 7: says you you physically that you are still a beast,
- 33:26Speaker 7: that you should not retire, but you know, one of
- 33:28Speaker 7: the top tight ends in the league.
- 33:30Speaker 1: What was the decision to say, you know what, I'm
- 33:32Speaker 1: no longer want to do this. At the end of
- 33:34Speaker 1: the day, I feel like you got to evaluate your
- 33:35Speaker 1: commitment level for the entire process. You know, there's certain
- 33:38Speaker 1: things where it's like I can look at it and
- 33:40Speaker 1: be like, yeah, the results of what could be the yards,
- 33:42Speaker 1: the you know, successful seasons, like they would look great
- 33:46Speaker 1: and they would feel great. But as far as going
- 33:47Speaker 1: through the whole process, putting all the work in going
- 33:49Speaker 1: through the entire season, It's like, I gotta be willing
- 33:52Speaker 1: to put forth that commitment level for teammates, for the organization,
- 33:55Speaker 1: and I don't feel like I can be able to
- 33:56Speaker 1: do that anymore. At this point in my life. I
- 33:57Speaker 1: feel like that passion has kind of passed on the
- 34:00Speaker 1: things that I want to spend my time doing. And
- 34:01Speaker 1: you said you had a near death experience. I read
- 34:03Speaker 1: an article that said that, yeah, this past year it
- 34:05Speaker 1: was weird. Man. I was going we actually shot a
- 34:08Speaker 1: video in my boy a Rod and I was coming
- 34:11Speaker 1: back to my condo in Jersey and I felt a
- 34:14Speaker 1: fever coming on, and I had COVID two times before that,
- 34:17Speaker 1: and I was like, just have COVID. Got to sworted
- 34:19Speaker 1: out and just dug it. But I started to like
- 34:22Speaker 1: lose consciousness and like I was like fighting for my breath.
- 34:24Speaker 1: I got back to my condo and I called nine
- 34:26Speaker 1: one one and they finally made out what I was
- 34:28Speaker 1: trying to say, because I guess I wasn't speaking clear
- 34:30Speaker 1: enough and I was just firing for my breath to
- 34:32Speaker 1: the ParaMed showed up. I think I kind of like
- 34:33Speaker 1: passed out before they got there, and they woke me
- 34:36Speaker 1: up and I had like an oxygen mask on. They
- 34:37Speaker 1: took me into the hospital. I was in there for
- 34:39Speaker 1: three days, couldn't go to the bathroom of my own,
- 34:41Speaker 1: couldn't stand up, like I had like a viral infection
- 34:44Speaker 1: my lungs or something. So it was that was pretty wild.
- 34:46Speaker 1: It made me kind of thinking reflecting, be like all right,
- 34:48Speaker 1: like what am I doing my life? Am I really
- 34:50Speaker 1: doing what I want to do? And at that time,
- 34:52Speaker 1: I didn't feel like I was really doing that. I
- 34:54Speaker 1: feel like I was doing things because I felt like
- 34:56Speaker 1: I should be doing them.
- 34:57Speaker 3: So it was a viral infection that called it. Yeah, wow,
- 34:59Speaker 3: that's so you. Clearly you didn't think football was your purpose. Like,
- 35:03Speaker 3: it's hard to do anything if you don't feel like
- 35:05Speaker 3: this is your purpose. You felt like you had to
- 35:07Speaker 3: go find your actual purpose.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like in a way football did serve
- 35:11Speaker 1: a purpose. It did give me the ability to, you know,
- 35:13Speaker 1: find my voice to share through like my pain and
- 35:16Speaker 1: my struggle to help other people through theirs. And it
- 35:19Speaker 1: also showed me that through hard work and patience and
- 35:21Speaker 1: just staying with the process, I can be excellent at
- 35:23Speaker 1: whatever I want to do because people were not checking
- 35:25Speaker 1: for me for a long period of time in football.
- 35:28Speaker 1: You know, just by sticking with the process, I was
- 35:29Speaker 1: able to make a name for myself and be successful.
- 35:31Speaker 1: So I feel like I could carry those principles to
- 35:33Speaker 1: whatever I want to do. All Right, we got more
- 35:35Speaker 1: with Darren Waller when we come back.
- 35:36Speaker 7: It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning Owning Everybody's DJ. Envy
- 35:40Speaker 7: Jesse leras Charlaman the guy we are the Breakfast Club
- 35:42Speaker 7: is still kicking in with x NFL tight end.
- 35:44Speaker 1: Darren Waller. Now I see you.
- 35:46Speaker 7: Since retiring, you've been fiddling a lot with music, is
- 35:49Speaker 7: that way you want to go next? You want to
- 35:50Speaker 7: be a musician and all this, So.
- 35:52Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel there's definitely a journey for me there.
- 35:54Speaker 1: You know, my great grandfather was a legendary jazz musician,
- 35:57Speaker 1: and I love music as a kid, playing PM end
- 36:00Speaker 1: up being in band, and you just kind of circling
- 36:02Speaker 1: back to those things I love as a kid, you know,
- 36:04Speaker 1: just really want to go that route. I feel something
- 36:05Speaker 1: like in a way, like spiritually pulling me in that direction.
- 36:08Speaker 1: And so you know, I don't have any expectations with
- 36:10Speaker 1: it for real, but I believe in myself and the
- 36:13Speaker 1: growth that I'm having as a artist with the stuff
- 36:15Speaker 1: I'm gonna be putting out. So yeah, something I want
- 36:17Speaker 1: to definitely devote time to among a lot of other things.
- 36:19Speaker 3: I feel like you are looking for peace. You want
- 36:22Speaker 3: to do things that bring you peace. Yeah, If it
- 36:25Speaker 3: don't make you happy, you don't want to do it.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Yeah, man, Cause it's like, you know, it's like a
- 36:29Speaker 1: Jim Carrey quote out there. He was like, you know,
- 36:31Speaker 1: I wish people could get everything they ever wanted to, realize,
- 36:34Speaker 1: it's not what's gonna give them that sense of fulfillment,
- 36:37Speaker 1: especially if you're doing things, you know, pertaining to somebody
- 36:39Speaker 1: else's dream of success, because I was like, okay, football,
- 36:42Speaker 1: Like damn I get I get this money, I have
- 36:43Speaker 1: this longevity, like I'm going to be happy and be fulfilled,
- 36:46Speaker 1: and it's still like I make it happen, and it's
- 36:48Speaker 1: still kind of like I feel like there's still gotta
- 36:49Speaker 1: be more out there for me, you know. So it's
- 36:51Speaker 1: gotta be something that's authentically aligned with me. And that's
- 36:54Speaker 1: why I was saying, like I'm still trying to figure
- 36:56Speaker 1: that out.
- 36:56Speaker 2: Is that why you got the serenity tattoo?
- 36:58Speaker 1: Yeah? Man, you know, since got getting sober, like serenity
- 37:01Speaker 1: prayers like a big tools as far as like going
- 37:04Speaker 1: through my day, you know, because there's a lot of
- 37:06Speaker 1: things that you got to accept things as they are.
- 37:08Speaker 3: God grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
- 37:11Speaker 3: courage to change things I can.
- 37:12Speaker 2: And it wasn't no difference.
- 37:13Speaker 1: Yeah, you wear yourself out trying to change things as
- 37:15Speaker 1: you can.
- 37:15Speaker 2: Man.
- 37:15Speaker 1: So it's something that I try to carry everything I do.
- 37:18Speaker 2: Now.
- 37:18Speaker 7: You talk about peace, So what gives Darren Waller piece
- 37:21Speaker 7: like what puts you in your happy place?
- 37:22Speaker 1: If it's not football? Anymore. I'll say being in nature.
- 37:24Speaker 2: Man.
- 37:25Speaker 1: As a kid growing up in Atlanta, there wasn't really
- 37:27Speaker 1: no mountains around you, like Kansas Mountain and Stone Mountain.
- 37:30Speaker 1: They really just like hills though. But going out to
- 37:32Speaker 1: a place like Vegas and going to place like Utah, Colorado,
- 37:35Speaker 1: like being in nature like those things. Really, I feel
- 37:37Speaker 1: like getting closer to God than anything else. Making music
- 37:40Speaker 1: as well, just being in the process of that, writing, creating,
- 37:42Speaker 1: coming up with ideas, being around my family more. I
- 37:45Speaker 1: feel like just with the grind that I've had through
- 37:46Speaker 1: the game, like I feel like I've missed out a lot,
- 37:48Speaker 1: you know. Like for the fourth I'll be going to
- 37:50Speaker 1: my first family function with all the extended families since
- 37:53Speaker 1: before I got sober, i was almost seven years ago.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Because it's always when I'm training or getting ready for
- 37:57Speaker 1: training camp.
- 37:58Speaker 3: So you ready for that though, because you know it's gonna
- 37:59Speaker 3: be a bunch of Oh man, you why you retire?
- 38:02Speaker 3: What's up? Man?
- 38:04Speaker 1: Yeah? Man? But still get me tickets. Yeah, it's a
- 38:06Speaker 1: lot of that, but but yeah, it's just like getting
- 38:09Speaker 1: people to see me as I am now, like I'm
- 38:10Speaker 1: Football is always going to be a part of me.
- 38:12Speaker 1: It has been a major part. But there's more to
- 38:14Speaker 1: my story. I still got God willing sixty more years
- 38:17Speaker 1: to live, so there's more chapters to be told.
- 38:18Speaker 3: I want you to go back to the nature park
- 38:20Speaker 3: because you know I write books. So in my new book,
- 38:22Speaker 3: which is called Get Honest to Die Line, I have
- 38:24Speaker 3: a chapter called tree hug the Block, and it's literally
- 38:27Speaker 3: about how we need to get reconnected to nature.
- 38:30Speaker 1: Because I grew up in South Carolina.
- 38:31Speaker 3: I'm from the South, so I grew up running around
- 38:33Speaker 3: on the dirt road, running through the corn field, running
- 38:35Speaker 3: through the woods, you know, actually looking up at the sun,
- 38:37Speaker 3: walking around barefoot. So I was doing grounding and earthing
- 38:40Speaker 3: because before I even knew what that was. So talk
- 38:43Speaker 3: about just that connection to nature and how important it
- 38:46Speaker 3: is for your mental and emotional world being.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Yeah, man, for me, just being outside, being in nature,
- 38:50Speaker 1: it's something that it allows me to see like where
- 38:53Speaker 1: I stand, like a ni grand scheme of things like
- 38:54Speaker 1: being around like mountains and things like that. It's like
- 38:56Speaker 1: I'm in all God's creation, realizing like I'm a part
- 38:59Speaker 1: of this world, like I have something to give. But
- 39:01Speaker 1: at the same time, like not taking myself so seriously.
- 39:04Speaker 1: But yeah, also being in nature. It's like, I feel
- 39:06Speaker 1: like that's what our ancestors did, That's what we all did.
- 39:08Speaker 1: Like and just being out there, just getting outside of yourself,
- 39:11Speaker 1: just being able to enjoy the beauty of the world
- 39:13Speaker 1: around you affect your mindset and help you live with
- 39:14Speaker 1: more gratitude. You've made a lot of real big life
- 39:18Speaker 1: choices lately.
- 39:19Speaker 3: Right, you're tired from the NFL and then you got
- 39:20Speaker 3: married last year to a Kelsey plump YEP star lost
- 39:24Speaker 3: Vegas Ace's point guard. But then you filed for divorce
- 39:26Speaker 3: a year later.
- 39:28Speaker 2: What happened?
- 39:29Speaker 1: Man? That's you talk about get honest or die lyining?
- 39:32Speaker 1: You know, you kind of got to look at yourself
- 39:33Speaker 1: and realize, like, all right, like you know what role
- 39:36Speaker 1: am I playing? That all the relationships in my life
- 39:38Speaker 1: have always had the same patterns, and it kind of
- 39:40Speaker 1: plays into everything else I was mentioned earlier, like the
- 39:43Speaker 1: codependency aspect of like anytime I'm in a relationship, I
- 39:45Speaker 1: feel like I got to, you know, dance or do
- 39:47Speaker 1: a certain thing for to keep this person around, you know,
- 39:51Speaker 1: almost like tying myself worth to the success of a relationship.
- 39:54Speaker 1: And you realize how much you lose yourself and doing
- 39:57Speaker 1: the things that you love and that take care of
- 39:59Speaker 1: you on a daily basis, making this person kind of
- 40:02Speaker 1: like the center of your universe, and how unhealthy that
- 40:04Speaker 1: is for everybody involved, you know what I'm saying. So
- 40:07Speaker 1: realizing that, realizing the impact that it was having on me,
- 40:09Speaker 1: and you know, as far as making decisions that were
- 40:12Speaker 1: authentic for the life that I wanted, these are things
- 40:14Speaker 1: that I couldn't say one hundred percent yes to. You
- 40:17Speaker 1: have certain conversations and realize there's so much life ahead
- 40:19Speaker 1: of both of us, you know, might as well just
- 40:21Speaker 1: go ahead and live it and move on with no
- 40:24Speaker 1: type of hostility.
- 40:25Speaker 3: You didn't think that like before marriage, like before you
- 40:27Speaker 3: proposed and before you got married, Like you didn't have
- 40:30Speaker 3: that conversation with yourself.
- 40:31Speaker 1: Yeah. I like to think that I did. But there's
- 40:33Speaker 1: certain situations like kind of like I said earlier, where
- 40:36Speaker 1: I didn't really have that self awareness that spreads in
- 40:39Speaker 1: the other areas of my life as well, where I'm like, Okay,
- 40:42Speaker 1: I thought I was ready to have a commitment like
- 40:45Speaker 1: that and be involved, but really it's like there's a
- 40:48Speaker 1: part of me that's like okay, Like the pursuit, the chase,
- 40:52Speaker 1: the building of it seemed more appealing of than when
- 40:55Speaker 1: things get extremely difficult and the same patterns continue to
- 40:58Speaker 1: come out, and it's like bruh. Then the day you
- 41:00Speaker 1: got to heal bro or the same things you're going
- 41:02Speaker 1: to continue to happen.
- 41:03Speaker 2: That's all Will Smith say.
- 41:04Speaker 3: Recently he said it's impossible to make somebody else happy. Yeah, say,
- 41:07Speaker 3: you have to have happiness, she has to have happiness, right,
- 41:10Speaker 3: and then y'all come together exactly, you know, is that
- 41:14Speaker 3: what it was?
- 41:14Speaker 2: You think?
- 41:15Speaker 1: Absolutely? Man? I feel like in a way there's there
- 41:17Speaker 1: was a reliance of me on the relationship to give
- 41:20Speaker 1: me something that of course I needed to come to
- 41:22Speaker 1: the table without that extra baggage and with that healing
- 41:26Speaker 1: already in place, and I didn't what was harder to
- 41:28Speaker 1: do retire from the NFL to get it the boss.
- 41:30Speaker 1: I think both, man, both are difficult. You know, both
- 41:33Speaker 1: are you know, a part of what I am, things
- 41:35Speaker 1: that meant a lot to me at the time. And
- 41:37Speaker 1: to have them both happening at the same time, it's like,
- 41:39Speaker 1: you know, a lot of emotions, you got to process,
- 41:41Speaker 1: a lot of talking, a lot of writing, a lot
- 41:43Speaker 1: of time being spent reflecting and being by yourself. And
- 41:45Speaker 1: that's real life stuff, man, Because I've had a lot
- 41:47Speaker 1: of success, a lot of great moments in my life,
- 41:49Speaker 1: but these are This year has been one that has
- 41:51Speaker 1: really forced me to look in the mirror and and
- 41:54Speaker 1: dig deep in to express myself in ways that are
- 41:56Speaker 1: healthy and just really get to you know what I'm saying,
- 41:58Speaker 1: who is Darren Waller at the core without all these
- 42:00Speaker 1: things that I try to reach for for you know,
- 42:02Speaker 1: fulfillment or validation.
- 42:04Speaker 7: Now, you did a song call who Knew? Yeah, Now
- 42:06Speaker 7: that was in dedication to the situation of relationship.
- 42:09Speaker 1: So yeah, So I had an idea as we were
- 42:12Speaker 1: winding down and separating that I was like, Okay, Like
- 42:14Speaker 1: I keep finding myself in these positions, these same patterns,
- 42:16Speaker 1: And I have this idea of like if ever, if
- 42:18Speaker 1: the if the girl I was in relationship with, because
- 42:21Speaker 1: like I mean, you can look at her and say,
- 42:23Speaker 1: like she's the public one that people can know that
- 42:25Speaker 1: I was with, but that that's the same pattern of
- 42:27Speaker 1: a lot of relationships that I've been in. It's like
- 42:28Speaker 1: if they had to pen and would write me a song,
- 42:30Speaker 1: what would they say? And so it's like, you know,
- 42:32Speaker 1: he's taking a risk making a song like that. It's very,
- 42:34Speaker 1: very vulnerable, very different than anything I've ever made before.
- 42:37Speaker 1: But you know, I try to make stuff that's authentic
- 42:39Speaker 1: to me where I'm at, you know, just put myself
- 42:41Speaker 1: out there, take risks. Did she hit a song? What
- 42:42Speaker 1: was her thoughts on a song? Did you speak after? Uh? No,
- 42:45Speaker 1: that was after You ain't really been not discussed, so
- 42:48Speaker 1: y'a don't speak at all. Let you don't communicate or
- 42:50Speaker 1: have conversations at all. No, it's rap.
- 42:52Speaker 3: You're saying this song, you know why you want to
- 42:54Speaker 3: run away? Why can't you just stay?
- 42:55Speaker 1: So? Was this something you was trying to keep together?
- 42:58Speaker 1: So it's really the song is like her perspective. So
- 43:00Speaker 1: it's from the perspective of the woman that's been in
- 43:02Speaker 1: a relationship with me. So she's like, why do you
- 43:05Speaker 1: keep running? Like really speaking to me.
- 43:07Speaker 3: I love this perspective, man, because men a lot of
- 43:10Speaker 3: times don't take accountability for our books. Yeah, trying to
- 43:15Speaker 3: project and put it on the other person for you
- 43:17Speaker 3: to be like, no, it ain't you, it's me. Sometimes
- 43:20Speaker 3: a lot of dudes say that just when they really
- 43:22Speaker 3: want to be out here doing some BF.
- 43:23Speaker 1: But you really knew you had to go do the
- 43:25Speaker 1: internal work. Yeah. Yeah, it's a lot of work on
- 43:27Speaker 1: my behalf for me to try to look at somebody
- 43:30Speaker 1: else and focus on them when there's plenty of stuff
- 43:34Speaker 1: on my side of the street that I got to
- 43:36Speaker 1: clean up. You know. Yeah, that's not what men do.
- 43:38Speaker 1: That's not the example that we're trying to set. So
- 43:41Speaker 1: I'm out here trying to do better just like everybody else.
- 43:42Speaker 1: Is it therapeutic to do that record?
- 43:44Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 43:44Speaker 1: Absolutely. It was definitely a good way to express myself
- 43:47Speaker 1: and to you know, have empathy not only for her,
- 43:50Speaker 1: but everybody I've been in a relationship with, and to
- 43:54Speaker 1: honor them as I go forward and try to change
- 43:56Speaker 1: my ways, change my thinking and heal myself.
- 43:58Speaker 3: What do you say to people, especially A lot of
- 44:00Speaker 3: guys will be like, damn, Darren, you.
- 44:03Speaker 2: Fumbled Kelsey because they like they think it's beautiful. Yeah,
- 44:06Speaker 2: do you feel like you fumbled her?
- 44:07Speaker 1: Not really? Man? In a lot of ways, I feel like, man,
- 44:10Speaker 1: was that even really for me to pick up in
- 44:12Speaker 1: the first place? As approaching a relationship and wanting to
- 44:15Speaker 1: speed through things, you know, make a connection happen quickly
- 44:18Speaker 1: with some of the things I talked about earlier. It's
- 44:20Speaker 1: like you look at it and it's like, hmm, like
- 44:22Speaker 1: was that even for me? So you can talk about
- 44:24Speaker 1: fumbling or whatever, that's not really anything.
- 44:26Speaker 2: I try to think about it.
- 44:27Speaker 7: We got more with Darren Waller when we come back.
- 44:29Speaker 7: It's the Breakfast Club.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Good Morning Morning.
- 44:31Speaker 6: Everybody's DJ Envy.
- 44:33Speaker 7: Jess Hilaris Chelamane, the guy we are the Breakfast Club
- 44:36Speaker 7: was still kicking it with ex NFL tighten Darren Waller.
- 44:39Speaker 7: I do want to ask about the NFL. I do
- 44:41Speaker 7: see sometimes players in the NFL that plays sports get
- 44:44Speaker 7: addicted to things easier, and I was going to ask
- 44:47Speaker 7: this that to take away the pain? Is that to
- 44:48Speaker 7: take away the feeling, the trauma, the hurt, the crowd,
- 44:53Speaker 7: the fan.
- 44:53Speaker 1: Is that why you feel like some of that addiction
- 44:55Speaker 1: came from Yeah, so like mine started really early. But
- 44:58Speaker 1: if you're talking like in the general pop relation of
- 45:00Speaker 1: guys in the league, Yeah, there's an insane amount of
- 45:03Speaker 1: pressure on you on a day in, day out, you know,
- 45:05Speaker 1: just to perform at your job or somebody's gonna take
- 45:08Speaker 1: your place. You know, people are gonna talk crazy about
- 45:11Speaker 1: you if you on the internet, and so people just
- 45:13Speaker 1: want that relief, you know what I'm saying, Like I
- 45:15Speaker 1: never set out none of these guys that set out
- 45:17Speaker 1: to be addicts or to be people that abuse substances,
- 45:19Speaker 1: but they're just like, man, I just want to change
- 45:21Speaker 1: the way that I feel, give myself some sense of
- 45:22Speaker 1: peace when I get home, because it's a stressful day,
- 45:25Speaker 1: it's a stressful career, and I just want some relief.
- 45:28Speaker 1: So that's why I feel like guys kind of get
- 45:29Speaker 1: started down that path without even having bad intentions, you
- 45:32Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
- 45:33Speaker 7: Does the league try to help the players when they're
- 45:35Speaker 7: going through things, because I mean, it has to be difficult,
- 45:37Speaker 7: like you said, the pressure, I mean the pain to
- 45:39Speaker 7: you know, to play through it. Do they offer services
- 45:42Speaker 7: to help players or not too much or a lot.
- 45:45Speaker 1: Yeah, they offer services like the teams that will offer
- 45:47Speaker 1: like pain management, like you got massages, you got needles mentally,
- 45:51Speaker 1: but yeah, they have. They got team counselors, like team
- 45:54Speaker 1: clinicians that are available for guys. Some guys use them,
- 45:57Speaker 1: some guys don't. But there's a lot of guys that
- 46:00Speaker 1: are leaning more towards having therapists outside of the building
- 46:03Speaker 1: so they can kind of just like cut that tie
- 46:05Speaker 1: from having it with the team. Like even when I
- 46:07Speaker 1: went to rehab, like the league paid for it, there
- 46:09Speaker 1: was like a guy that was like a case manager
- 46:11Speaker 1: for me who was calling my phone, blowing my phone up,
- 46:14Speaker 1: just like seeing how I was doing what I needed.
- 46:16Speaker 1: So they definitely really helped me. And I feel like
- 46:18Speaker 1: whenever guys are like well, it's like okay, like I
- 46:21Speaker 1: want to help myself, then they can take advantage of
- 46:23Speaker 1: the resources at hand.
- 46:25Speaker 3: Is the reason they don't want to use a team
- 46:26Speaker 3: concolt because they don't trust them, Like I don't want
- 46:28Speaker 3: to share too much information with them because they might
- 46:29Speaker 3: take it back to.
- 46:30Speaker 1: That Yeah they're there, there are at There are a
- 46:31Speaker 1: lot of guys that that feel that way of like, yeah,
- 46:34Speaker 1: I don't know if this is going to go back
- 46:35Speaker 1: to the team, and the team says like that that's
- 46:37Speaker 1: not going to happen. But you know, it's like, you know,
- 46:39Speaker 1: as men, it's like, especially in this hypermasculine environment in football,
- 46:43Speaker 1: it's like if I show any kind of weakness, other
- 46:46Speaker 1: teams people across from me are gonna try to take
- 46:48Speaker 1: advantage of that. I don't feel safe to share that here,
- 46:51Speaker 1: and you know that's that's that's a legit emotion.
- 46:53Speaker 2: What's been the most effective healing tool?
- 46:55Speaker 1: I would say meditation played a huge role for me,
- 46:58Speaker 1: you know, making that a daily part of my routine.
- 47:00Speaker 1: It kind of gives me like a space, like a
- 47:03Speaker 1: pause when it comes to moments where it's time to
- 47:07Speaker 1: make decisions in my day to day life. A lot
- 47:09Speaker 1: of times where I would make bad decisions, it was
- 47:11Speaker 1: kind of like I was just reacting to things super fast,
- 47:12Speaker 1: whereas meditation kind of gives you that pause to allow
- 47:15Speaker 1: you to be like, okay, like we take a deep breath,
- 47:17Speaker 1: is just really what I want to do, and like
- 47:19Speaker 1: it gives you an opportunity to evaluate your decisions more So,
- 47:21Speaker 1: I feel like that's something that definitely gave me a
- 47:24Speaker 1: jump to start along with other things, but that was
- 47:27Speaker 1: probably one of the first ones.
- 47:28Speaker 2: Learning that.
- 47:28Speaker 1: It was just like wow, like I really have a
- 47:30Speaker 1: chance to sit here and not just have the world
- 47:33Speaker 1: just have me blowing about in the wind and the
- 47:35Speaker 1: storms that come on a day to day, Like I
- 47:37Speaker 1: can actually like stand firm and make decisions I want
- 47:39Speaker 1: to make. What about your foundation, did Darren Waller Foundation?
- 47:43Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 47:43Speaker 1: Man, that's a decision that like I talked about the
- 47:45Speaker 1: league giving me opportunity to go to treatment for free,
- 47:48Speaker 1: and it's like, through getting sober, I kind of realized,
- 47:50Speaker 1: like my world is a lot better, a lot more
- 47:52Speaker 1: full when it's just bigger than me. I'm doing a
- 47:55Speaker 1: lot of being able to do things for other people.
- 47:57Speaker 1: And so through my foundation, we are able to get
- 47:59Speaker 1: people scholarious go to treatment for thirty days and also
- 48:02Speaker 1: have like sober living opportunities, just opportunity to get back
- 48:06Speaker 1: on their feet. And we've sent like sixty people through
- 48:09Speaker 1: thirty day stays and that numbers continuing to go up,
- 48:12Speaker 1: continuing to build resources in the Vegas community, just you know,
- 48:16Speaker 1: trying to give people opportunity because I mean, I didn't
- 48:19Speaker 1: know that I'd be able to have the impact that
- 48:21Speaker 1: I've been able to have in my life back when
- 48:22Speaker 1: I was, you know, kind of stuck in that hole.
- 48:25Speaker 1: And you know, all you do is impact one person,
- 48:28Speaker 1: because through me being impacted, a lot of other people
- 48:31Speaker 1: will be able to be helped. So it's just like
- 48:32Speaker 1: giving that person a chance.
- 48:34Speaker 3: Absolutely, all right, Well, Darren Waller, Ladies and Jeal, do
- 48:37Speaker 3: you believe there's a script that owners and rests are
- 48:39Speaker 3: a part of the outcome of games, because that's been
- 48:42Speaker 3: a thing that we've been hearing.
- 48:43Speaker 1: And you're retiring now. I don't know if you're planning
- 48:45Speaker 1: to go back, but feel free to spill any secrets
- 48:47Speaker 1: that you know. Is there a script to keep in
- 48:49Speaker 1: mind he's a Cowboys fan, just want to I.
- 48:51Speaker 3: Don't believe in the script, but I believe if there
- 48:53Speaker 3: was a script, Cowboys would have been Super Bowl champions
- 48:55Speaker 3: at least three or four times over the.
- 48:56Speaker 1: Last Yeah, the Cowboys are way too talented to not
- 48:59Speaker 1: have one one yet and make too much money. Forget
- 49:01Speaker 1: the talent. I'm just saying, if there was a script,
- 49:03Speaker 1: you don't think Jerry Jones paid and win a Super Bowl.
- 49:05Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't know if any script.
- 49:07Speaker 1: If I had a script, man, I would have had
- 49:09Speaker 1: one that had me at least win one playoff game
- 49:11Speaker 1: in my career. But yeah, I don't know if any scripts.
- 49:15Speaker 7: And now, out of the three teams you played for,
- 49:17Speaker 7: the Ravens, Raiders, and Giants, which which was the best
- 49:19Speaker 7: organization for you?
- 49:20Speaker 2: Man?
- 49:20Speaker 1: In a way, they all were. To be honest, the
- 49:23Speaker 1: Ravens taught me. Being with the Ravens taught me a
- 49:25Speaker 1: lot of hard lessons really forced me to grow up
- 49:27Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. And you know that last
- 49:30Speaker 1: year being there on the practice squad, it gave me
- 49:33Speaker 1: the tools and the work ethic to be able to
- 49:35Speaker 1: sustain the level of success that I did once I
- 49:37Speaker 1: got it. So I'm grateful for that. But the Raiders
- 49:40Speaker 1: had all the great memories, man, like the great seasons,
- 49:43Speaker 1: just like the guys that form relationships with coaches that
- 49:47Speaker 1: I had was that was the fun ride. But I
- 49:51Speaker 1: mean I had a blast with the Giants this last
- 49:53Speaker 1: year too, man, like all the coaches and the guys
- 49:55Speaker 1: in that locker room. Man, I had a great time.
- 49:58Speaker 1: And my decision to retire had nothing to do do
- 50:00Speaker 1: with my time there. You know, we uh, I had
- 50:03Speaker 1: a great time with them and wish them nothing but
- 50:05Speaker 1: the best. But if you had, if I had to
- 50:06Speaker 1: pick one, that probably be the Raiders for show. I mean,
- 50:08Speaker 1: that's where my career took off, my life change. I
- 50:11Speaker 1: was able to do things for my family, for the
- 50:13Speaker 1: community through just having a chance that they gave me.
- 50:16Speaker 1: So you know, you're completely done with football like you
- 50:18Speaker 1: just yeah?
- 50:19Speaker 2: Really? Yeah?
- 50:21Speaker 1: Wow, You're not gonna miss nothing about the game. Oh no,
- 50:25Speaker 1: that that the game is always gonna be something I
- 50:27Speaker 1: hold in high regard and love. And I'll miss that
- 50:30Speaker 1: locker room environment, you know what I'm saying, being in
- 50:32Speaker 1: there with those guys and just cutting up man, just
- 50:34Speaker 1: uh and and walking through the struggles together, because it's like,
- 50:38Speaker 1: you know, you might go out there and get your
- 50:39Speaker 1: ass whooped on a Sunday, but those moments where you're
- 50:41Speaker 1: there and there picking guys up in the locker room
- 50:43Speaker 1: and standing firm when a lot of people may be
- 50:46Speaker 1: pointing fingers and doing that, but as men, you you
- 50:48Speaker 1: kind of lock arms and walk through lock like those
- 50:50Speaker 1: are Those are cool moments, man. Those are moments that
- 50:52Speaker 1: a lot of people don't get to experience. So I'll
- 50:54Speaker 1: definitely miss those. I'll miss playing. You know, you get
- 50:57Speaker 1: a rush from making a big play, making a difference
- 50:58Speaker 1: in the game, but you know, I can get that
- 51:01Speaker 1: feeling in a lot of other ways now and just
- 51:03Speaker 1: ready to move on.
- 51:04Speaker 3: We'll see when the season starts. We'll see when you're
- 51:07Speaker 3: sitting at home watching on Sunday, if you get that itch, yeah,
- 51:10Speaker 3: we'll see. That's what I don't I don't believe a
- 51:11Speaker 3: person's truly retired, so they can watch it and be like, Okay.
- 51:13Speaker 2: I'm good for sure.
- 51:15Speaker 7: All right, Well it's Darren Waller the Breakfast Cluk come
- 51:17Speaker 7: on at the time to read.
- 51:20Speaker 2: But you're so good at you're trying to be a
- 51:21Speaker 2: fake as Charlamagne.
- 51:22Speaker 6: You know what he wants, Charlamage, Damn solo man. Who
- 51:27Speaker 6: do you give it? Dusky? The other day?
- 51:28Speaker 1: Soon?
- 51:28Speaker 3: Now, well, sexy Red, I'm in here multitasking. Hold on,
- 51:32Speaker 3: let me do this last. I'll be in here autographing
- 51:35Speaker 3: thousands of books by hand. Donkey of to Day goes
- 51:38Speaker 3: to a man named George sandabl George is apparently six
- 51:41Speaker 3: y five and four hundred pounds Marven le Obese. Okay,
- 51:45Speaker 3: those details are important for this story because George put
- 51:49Speaker 3: hands on someone. Now, if someone six y five four
- 51:51Speaker 3: hundred pounds put hands on you, it's probably gonna leave
- 51:54Speaker 3: a mark if they can catch you, if they can.
- 51:56Speaker 1: Catch you and put hands on you, they're gonna leave
- 51:58Speaker 1: a mark.
- 51:58Speaker 3: And that's exactly what George, because he gave a young
- 52:01Speaker 3: woman named Monique Larlow's a black eye. Now I know
- 52:04Speaker 3: what you're thinking. You gotta hear both sides. Well, let's
- 52:07Speaker 3: go to Kokomo News for the report.
- 52:09Speaker 16: Police, whoa did you see that? A subway manager and
- 52:12Speaker 16: Madero was punched in the face Thursday evening and the
- 52:15Speaker 16: man had to be tackled by a customer and employees
- 52:18Speaker 16: to get him to stop.
- 52:19Speaker 1: I do not at this.
- 52:20Speaker 17: He comes around the corner, I go, what are you
- 52:22Speaker 17: gonna do?
- 52:23Speaker 1: Hit me?
- 52:23Speaker 16: Over ham?
- 52:24Speaker 17: He hit me, He punched me. All I could remember
- 52:27Speaker 17: is just black.
- 52:29Speaker 16: General manager Monique Larios says she was called into work
- 52:32Speaker 16: that day by her employees saying this man was mad
- 52:35Speaker 16: because he didn't get double ham on his sandwich, even
- 52:38Speaker 16: though the store had proved he only paid to have
- 52:40Speaker 16: six extra slices of meat, not twelve. But that issue
- 52:44Speaker 16: escalated to this.
- 52:45Speaker 17: I still can't feel half of my face. I can't
- 52:48Speaker 17: feel nothing. I'm scared that there's gonna be some kind
- 52:51Speaker 17: of damage permanent. I've never been so numb to where
- 52:55Speaker 17: my face feels like it's a mass, you know.
- 52:57Speaker 16: Madera police officers say they arrested Jorge Sandeval, the man
- 53:01Speaker 16: who they say hit her that night, for battery. Mario
- 53:03Speaker 16: says she never said a chance.
- 53:05Speaker 17: I'm for eleven. This guy was six five four hundred,
- 53:09Speaker 17: almost furred pounds.
- 53:11Speaker 3: Big back, big back, big back, big back, six five
- 53:16Speaker 3: four hundred pounds? How many people did it take to
- 53:19Speaker 3: bring this man down? Whenever I'm in subwhere it's only
- 53:22Speaker 3: a couple of folks. Okay, how many people did it
- 53:25Speaker 3: take to bring down this sick five four hundred pounds man?
- 53:28Speaker 3: And why was he at subway? He know he wanted
- 53:31Speaker 3: to be at Golden Kraal. This man paid to have
- 53:33Speaker 3: six extra slices of hand, but he wanted twelve. This
- 53:36Speaker 3: is yet another reason why you shouldn't be eating pig. Okay,
- 53:39Speaker 3: no pulk on my fork. If it's swine, I won't die.
- 53:42Speaker 3: Duteronomy fourteen age says you shouldn't touch the flesh, but
- 53:45Speaker 3: that pig nonetheless eat it.
- 53:46Speaker 1: And this is an example why not? Really? But in
- 53:49Speaker 1: this era we can make two plus two equal five?
- 53:51Speaker 1: So why not? Don't eat hand?
- 53:53Speaker 3: Because it will lead you to punch random women in
- 53:55Speaker 3: the face when you don't get enough of it. Now,
- 53:57Speaker 3: I also want to tell people out there and stop
- 53:59Speaker 3: telling insane people what they won't do.
- 54:01Speaker 1: You do.
- 54:02Speaker 3: Realize ninety probably ninety five percent of being crazy is
- 54:06Speaker 3: doing what other people say you shouldn't do. So when
- 54:08Speaker 3: a guy comes around the counter at a fast food restaurant.
- 54:11Speaker 3: You have to just assume that nothing good is about
- 54:14Speaker 3: to happen immediately. You should start doing what you need
- 54:17Speaker 3: to do to protect yourself. But for some reason, Monique
- 54:20Speaker 3: says she did not expect this. Maybe she's young and
- 54:23Speaker 3: still believes in humanity. Give us some time with agent experience,
- 54:26Speaker 3: you too will start to see and expect the worse
- 54:28Speaker 3: than people.
- 54:29Speaker 1: Monique said to the man, what are you going to do?
- 54:32Speaker 1: Hit me over ham?
- 54:33Speaker 3: Yes, Monique, that's exactly what a crazy human will do.
- 54:37Speaker 3: What do you think he came a running at court
- 54:39Speaker 3: the counter for And when you say things like that
- 54:42Speaker 3: to them, what are you going to do? Hit me
- 54:44Speaker 3: over on hamd you're giving him a bright idea. He
- 54:47Speaker 3: probably walked around the counter and not knowing exactly what
- 54:49Speaker 3: he wanted to do. He just wanted more ham, and
- 54:51Speaker 3: you told him what not to do, and in typical
- 54:54Speaker 3: crazy fashion, he did it. That's what being crazy is,
- 54:58Speaker 3: doing what people say you won't do. What makes this
- 55:01Speaker 3: story even worse is she was off. She was called
- 55:06Speaker 3: in the work that day by her employees who said
- 55:08Speaker 3: a man was mad because he didn't get double ham
- 55:11Speaker 3: on his sandwich. I would fire every single one of
- 55:13Speaker 3: those employees. If she had the power to fight him,
- 55:16Speaker 3: she should fire them all. You had to call me
- 55:18Speaker 3: in because a person wanted extra meat on this sandwich.
- 55:20Speaker 3: You couldn't handle that yourself. This is why I can't.
- 55:23Speaker 1: Work fast food. Okay.
- 55:24Speaker 3: I used to work at Taco Bell back in the day.
- 55:26Speaker 3: Worked there for two weeks before my sister fired me. Okay,
- 55:28Speaker 3: because if someone wanted extra meat on this sandwich, I
- 55:30Speaker 3: wouldn't give a damn. You can have it, okay, if
- 55:33Speaker 3: you want more of this genetically modified meat than bone appetite, Okay,
- 55:38Speaker 3: I'm not about to argue with nobody over there fast
- 55:40Speaker 3: food order. The customer is always absolutely right in the
- 55:44Speaker 3: fast food world. These fast food restaurants not dying for you.
- 55:47Speaker 3: You want more ham here? This poor girl says she
- 55:51Speaker 3: still can't feel her face. Okay, half of her face
- 55:54Speaker 3: she can't feel. Said she can't feel nothing. She's scared
- 55:56Speaker 3: there's gonna be some kind of permanent damage. She says,
- 56:00Speaker 3: she's never been so numb to wear her face feels
- 56:03Speaker 3: like a mask. All of that over some black forest
- 56:06Speaker 3: ham no man let George, who is sixty five, four
- 56:11Speaker 3: hundred pounds morbidly obese. If he wants to park, let
- 56:15Speaker 3: him have it into the Big Back Brigade, the Wide
- 56:18Speaker 3: Tang Clan.
- 56:19Speaker 1: Listen to me.
- 56:20Speaker 3: Just just reinforces the stereotype that fat people have no
- 56:23Speaker 3: control over themselves. You don't have control over your eating habits.
- 56:26Speaker 3: You don't have control over your emotions. You don't have
- 56:29Speaker 3: control over the over the jiggling, the walking side to side.
- 56:32Speaker 3: What do you want? Why are you looking at you
- 56:35Speaker 3: like this? First of all, just drawing the clues balls
- 56:38Speaker 3: for Big Back. I don't even know how you snuck
- 56:40Speaker 3: in him. He didn't big a sneak anyway. How tall
- 56:43Speaker 3: are you mac?
- 56:45Speaker 15: Six four and a half six ' five. How much
- 56:47Speaker 15: you weigh a metric ton?
- 56:51Speaker 1: What the hell is a metric ton?
- 56:52Speaker 2: One thousand pounds?
- 56:53Speaker 1: You don't pounds?
- 56:55Speaker 2: You're right like ninety three? Man? How much you weigh
- 56:59Speaker 2: for it? I'm in the fourth. Did they catch this guy?
- 57:03Speaker 1: Oh yeah, George Sandible, never money.
- 57:06Speaker 2: Listen here.
- 57:06Speaker 15: First off, okay, you could go to hell, all right,
- 57:09Speaker 15: because when I saw the story, I knew for a
- 57:13Speaker 15: fact that Charlemagne was going to accuse me of this. Okay,
- 57:17Speaker 15: because you have a thing about fat people. You have awadism,
- 57:21Speaker 15: all right, you're the problem. Second off, as the president
- 57:24Speaker 15: of the Fat Lives Committee, we are highly upset and
- 57:28Speaker 15: we just want to apologize to this woman because here
- 57:31Speaker 15: in the Fat Lives we have street mentality.
- 57:35Speaker 2: Women and children are off limits. Okay, I.
- 57:40Speaker 15: Understand swinging on somebody for this type of situation, but
- 57:43Speaker 15: women and children are off limits.
- 57:44Speaker 1: You don't swim swing.
- 57:45Speaker 2: On women who puts off pieces of him. And that's
- 57:48Speaker 2: what I was going to say.
- 57:49Speaker 15: Just so y'all know out here I told you big
- 57:52Speaker 15: backs of fighting back.
- 57:54Speaker 1: I know how many slices of cheese, how many.
- 57:56Speaker 15: Slaves of me that are on all my say When
- 57:59Speaker 15: I go to Wah Wah and I get meatball sub
- 58:01Speaker 15: I make sure I count every one of the meat balls.
- 58:03Speaker 15: If you don't put the six in the class against
- 58:05Speaker 15: the big role, if you don't put all six and
- 58:06Speaker 15: it and fill it up, I make sure you cheat
- 58:08Speaker 15: me on one. Now, like I said, women and children
- 58:12Speaker 15: are off limits. But and I have no way encouraged that.
- 58:15Speaker 15: But I'm telling y'all, ever since that show in the
- 58:18Speaker 15: nineties my brother and me when he said hit me
- 58:21Speaker 15: you so bad, hit me, and what happened.
- 58:24Speaker 2: I got hit. Stop telling people to hit you.
- 58:27Speaker 1: Stop telling crazy people what they want.
- 58:29Speaker 15: Because crazy people don't have street mentality them Rose is.
- 58:33Speaker 1: That's why I be using.
- 58:34Speaker 3: Reverse psychology with you. I'll be like, I bet you,
- 58:38Speaker 3: I bet you can't eat that. I bet you won't
- 58:40Speaker 3: eat that. No, I'll be like, I bet you can
- 58:43Speaker 3: resist that. That's what I do doesn't work.
- 58:45Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 58:46Speaker 3: I don't even know what I just said, but you
- 58:47Speaker 3: know what I'm trying to say. I'll be trying to
- 58:49Speaker 3: use reverse psychology on him, Like I see him wanting
- 58:51Speaker 3: to eat something, and.
- 58:52Speaker 1: I'll be like, I bet you, I bet you can't.
- 58:57Speaker 1: And it don't really work all the time.
- 59:00Speaker 15: But I'm so competitive that I don't want to lose,
- 59:03Speaker 15: so I go through a moral thing whereas lose what wait,
- 59:06Speaker 15: we know that, but actually sometimes sometimes it's the it's
- 59:09Speaker 15: the way. But sometimes I don't want to lose the challenge.
- 59:11Speaker 15: When you try to tell me I don't want to eat,
- 59:13Speaker 15: and when y'all have all that free food over there,
- 59:15Speaker 15: that's right there a whole.
- 59:16Speaker 6: Line of people in line, and the first thing is
- 59:19Speaker 6: wont mac relax.
- 59:20Speaker 3: I'm like, I'll be like Mac, I bet you're gonna
- 59:21Speaker 3: eat all of that, And then I see that that's
- 59:23Speaker 3: what that's what I do. I said, Mac, I bet
- 59:24Speaker 3: you're gonna eat all of that. And he gets in
- 59:26Speaker 3: his hand and you'd be like, I bet y'all won't.
- 59:28Speaker 3: That's got to reverse psychology with him. I know we
- 59:31Speaker 3: don't have much time, but was he white or black
- 59:33Speaker 3: or Asian.
- 59:34Speaker 2: Or guess what?
- 59:36Speaker 1: Wait? He is?
- 59:37Speaker 2: He was fat?
- 59:38Speaker 3: Please give George to end the ball the biggest and
- 59:41Speaker 3: I do mean biggest.
- 59:42Speaker 2: He huh.
- 59:46Speaker 15: I swear there's gonna be short people doing some things
- 59:48Speaker 15: out here, and I'm gonna bring all them stories here,
- 59:50Speaker 15: and I hope you report with the same energy.

- 1:02:54Speaker 1: I called see what was going on because I swear
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: I thought he was playing until the end when I
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: saw the doctor's turning him around, and then he thought
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: it like streaming in a way.
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: I'm like everybody thought I was playing until I went
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: live for real for it. When I went live and
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: I showed them drilling my knee live like doing surgery.
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: That's like, oh, this playing so but I made it through.
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: Man, You're gonna have to tell this story a million
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: times for the rest of your life, just because it
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: is such a testimony.
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: I do tell it on stage. That's why, I mean
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: just on stage. That's why I ain't telling too much
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: now because I want to leave it for stage. I
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: try to get separation for both, to give a little
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: bit here and a little bit on stage. So that's
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: what I do now. That's why I ain't telling too
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: much of it, but I do talk about it on stage.
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: It actually kind of pushed my standing more because it
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: left the elephant in the room. I ain't had no
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: choice but to be on I was in a wheelchair,
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: was you that when I was there road?
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: Yeah, So a lot of people showed me love, Like
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: matter of fact, who gave me the most love with
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: them handicapped people, like if my first show, like thirty
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: handicapped up up front of the wheelchairs and they spoke
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: lifely to me and everything welcome. I'm talking about the
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: like when I was messed up, like they was DM
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: and me telling me because I always showed love to
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: him on social media and like and like in Jacksonville
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: and stuff. So when my time came, they came and
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: showed me love. Like I support anybody that's in the
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: wheelchair because they take a lot just to get up
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: and just to get in that chair just every day.
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: I don't say how they do it, because I couldn't
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: do it for six months. I was going crazy.
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: That's good.
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: You be shotting out the crips now, but you ain't
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: talking about the crips.
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: Not the gang. You be talking about the people in
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: the wheelchair.
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: Oh yeah, shot out wheelchair game as you should do.
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: You feel good though?
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: Now I feel good? Man like I Like I said, Clayton,
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: he instilled life and timmy to him. I was gonna
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: make it. And then last day I got off my
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: crutch and he went over. So he made it all
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: the way to get me back on my feet and
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: then went on over. That's life, man.
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: No, that is life.
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: The last picture clay posted was me and you, him
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: and Jayski. That's crazy.
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: It was almost like a movie, like he was really
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: here just enough for me to get gone, get back
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: on my feet. It was dope though, I mean it was.
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: It's a beautiful thing, but it's just I had to
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: go through it, you know what I'm saying. So I
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: don't regret nothing I went through.
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: How do you find comedy in that?
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: Though it's life? Everything in life is comedy, you know
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: what I'm saying. The most powerful comedy is the stuff
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: that you went through the most, the hardest things you
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: went through the most, So that's comedy. I don't see.
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: I don't see having good comedy without heart.
- 1:05:19Speaker 5: I really feel like you are one of the few
- 1:05:21Speaker 5: people who make anything funny or even if they're funny
- 1:05:25Speaker 5: to other people.
- 1:05:26Speaker 6: That's why I'm telling you. I didn't.
- 1:05:28Speaker 5: I didn't believe you either didn't take it serious, and
- 1:05:31Speaker 5: the audience was laughing like like we didn't.
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: And the fact I think about it that I told
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: him when I was like, when if I ever made
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: it like? I don't do those. You know how people
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: be out and making fun of people. I don't never
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: do no comedy like that. So for when people thought
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: it was joke, I was like, how y'a thought joke?
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: I ain't never did no spoof like this, I guess
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: because we don't really take nothing serious, which is we don't.
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: I don't, and I get it. That's why I didn't
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: take it person. I don't take none of that stuff personal.
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: But it's just like I was like, damn, why how
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: could they even think that I was joking? And I'm
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: maybe because I was doing it myself really bleeding to
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: death right there. I'm like, you don't know, I'm really dying.
- 1:06:08Speaker 3: But you know, the funny part is people think do
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: all be joking? But a lot of the ways he
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: moves is how we should.
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: Live in life.
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: Like a lot of us hake on other people's problems.
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: Like I sent him something the other day and I
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: was like, man, look what this person going through. He
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: didn't respond back. So yesterday we started talking about them.
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: I said, yeah, but you ain't say nothing about such
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: and suff and he was like because I didn't give
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: them And I was like.
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: You right, I want to say something boud, but I
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: ended up saying their name, So I ain't gonna say no.
- 1:06:36Speaker 6: Don't twenty five years.
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: Yeah, this is my twenty fifth year man, And that's
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: that's really not a lot in comedy. It's just you
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: got to thank somebody like Cedric and rus Andam. They've
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: been doing it for like, amn, there, forty fifty how long?
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: I think even Mike Ye shot Mike yepes he's been
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: doing it at least at forty right, forty if I've
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: been doing it twenty wait, I was a kid watching them,
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So, Michao Blacks have been
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: doing as long as I didn't.
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: Realize how old they was when we were young, though,
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: now how young they was when we were young.
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: I've been doing the twenty five years, ninety nine.
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: Mike ain't nothing but like fifty something, yeah, fifty I.
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: Don't know, Mike, Yeah, Mike like fifty something. But he
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: been doing a long time, sir, for twenty five years.
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: Sound like a long time, but it really not. In comedy, yeah,
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, It's really not. But it's
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: part of life. I love it.
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: Do you care about the type of jokes you make
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: at this point?
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: Nope? That makes whatever I feel like what goes? I
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: don't well my standards more so entertainer like they call
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: I call myself Sammy David Duval, So I do more
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: than just stand up. I do stand up, comedy, entertaining
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: lab dand We're gonna do everything and much. And that's
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: why I feel like the evolution of our people are like,
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: we don't want to just sit there and just watch
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: stand up. We think we do, but we really though,
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: like you will sit there and watch six comedians and
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: they everybody doing twenty five minutes a piece. That's like
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: three hours. You're gonna be sleep if they ain't doing
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: some type of entertaining thing. So that's why I understood.
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: So I implement that in my show and keep them going.
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: So it's your fault all these comedians started making songs.
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: He's saying that because he texts me that every week.
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: See that's your fault. See that's your fault. Every time
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: somebody that's you, that's your I mean, I am, I guess,
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: but it's part of it. Were gonna see more and
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: more of it. It's just I'm the only one that
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: actually perfected it and took it to another level. That
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: made a hit song. But I see people like DC
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: Young Flo. All they need is one song and it's
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: gonna take him to that next level. You know what
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: I'm saying?
- 1:08:29Speaker 7: All Right, we got more with a little Duval when
- 1:08:31Speaker 7: we come back as the Breakfast Club, Good morning, Everybody's
- 1:08:34Speaker 7: DJ n V, Jesse Laris Charlamage, the guy. We are
- 1:08:37Speaker 7: the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with little Duval Charlamagne.
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: You've been enjoying the Drake ric Rossfield though, Yeah, I
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: love it.
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: I love it. It was better than when Jake Coles
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: because I was really root for j Coles man, But
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: then why why not? Because I knew they wasn't gonna die.
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: I knew it wasn't gonna be.
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: No b But I didn't think Cole and Kendrick even
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: had an issue to want to even go out of
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: each they did.
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: You could tell, like if you look back at the
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: old stuff that they had like a little competition. So
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: that was good enough like that it was it was
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: lyrical warfare and then it tapped out after you gave him.
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: It was cool like even when I I don't know
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: how recent interview was with Kendrick with Big Boy, but
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: he was like, man, it was competition. It was like
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: it was like, I mean, I don't have no beef
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: for them. I just don't think he better than me.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: Different though, like you can't really have a friendly rap.
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: Yes you can, yeah not nowad Yes?
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: They just so you really thought Kendrick and Jacob were
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: gonna come here up?
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: No, But j Cole was born.
- 1:09:32Speaker 8: He wasn't.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: I was.
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: I was enjoying it, and he was lying. Hen't believe.
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: I enjoyed the So you thought all the what what's
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: the name of Sam? Was real? With Tupac? Was Sam
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: was real? Yes? You did, well, I did too, But
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: I was a kid. It was. We were supposed to
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: believe it, just like wrestling, you're supposed to believe that
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: real until you get older. Now I can enjoy it.
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: I can enjoy it like this not gonna die.
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: But that's why Ross is because Ross come from a
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: shirt there.
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: Yeah, Ross a lot of that. I mean, I think
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: Ross gave a real like beef response and it was quick.
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: That's why you gotta give his props. Like we still
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: ain't heard Kendrick yet. And that's why I'm looking at Kencher.
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: He dog skin. He's a gemini, That's what I'm trying
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: to think. When I met him, was he No, he ain't. No,
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: I know where. I'm taller than I know.
- 1:10:24Speaker 6: Everybody he told you, not that many people.
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: Now, I'm taller than everybody that's short, everybody that's short.
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: I'm taller than I'm the tallest. I'm talling to cap
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: I'm taller than who else short, Yeah, I'm talking who
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: else showed out here? That's on YouTube. You can look
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: on YouTube and see we went back and forth with
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: that one that about ten fifteen years ago, fifteen everything
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: you don't seen viral. Now we done done it. Fifteen
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: years ago it just got resurfaced. Yeah, we done done.
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: Me and him have done a bunch of skins were
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: probably the first. No, I don't do none of that.
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: Don't bring up our passed you deleted it, an't know.
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: I think about one all the time. I'm just waiting,
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: no delete that. You got it on my I don't
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: know where.
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: It's tell everybody once too.

- 1:11:12Speaker 2: That this weekend. Now we do Baltimore. I can't wait.
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: Like Baltimore always showed me love too. I just looked
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: at the picture like sometimes be doing. I don't be
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: knowing why I do it. But I was in some
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: hood and you wouldn't even like when I'm around, like
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: the street is. They don't be on that street around.
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: They want to laugh.
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: Yeah, not even just laugh. It's just like we just
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: they're not even Yeah it's not and I'm not like
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: trying to be like on the streets. It's just like
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: they just it just brings out the I think they
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: turned back to to be and my nephew or something like.
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: They don't look at me like that. So I bring
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: that good energy to them. And that's what the last
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: what I got when I went in Baltimore. I gotta
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: do that dance too when I come on stage that
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: what's that? Yeah, I gotta do that.
- 1:11:56Speaker 6: It came from a hood.
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: Yes, I gotta do that, and I gotta do y'all
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: that y'all call something else. We call the city Boy,
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: but y'all call it something else.
- 1:12:04Speaker 6: Y'all be like, oh my god, my little sister, bet
- 1:12:07Speaker 6: there ain't.
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: Nothing but the city Boy that y'all rename. But I
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: don't know.
- 1:12:11Speaker 6: I got it from Baltimore.
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I know Baltimore. We talked about it on social media.
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: We went back and forth by it. But we go
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: there this weekend with the Wee the Ones tour. That's
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: that's a hard ass to it.
- 1:12:20Speaker 7: Man.
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: We all doing that thing, is.
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: You Mike Chico? Call those DC d Ray.
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: Yeah, and we selling out to and we all showing
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: love like everybody ain't no egos. Everybody doing they thing
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: we all encouraging each other. I like that. If anything,
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: I'm the one doing the doing the most. You know
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like I have to shorting my time
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: up because I really be doing too much. But it
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: is disrespectful as a comedian, Like you don't want to
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: go over your time, especially when you got so many
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: comedians on that. It ain't about being the funniest, it's
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: just when you're going over your time. Three minutes don't
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: sound like a lot, but it really is a lot.
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: If you got five other comedian and that's last person
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: going up, he gotta wait because I have to go
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: up last some time. What I hate going last too,
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: So you want to be respectful for that. But all
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: in all, we all doing. If I go over too much,
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: then Mike might might shorten his time, or Cheeko or
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: somebody like that. So we're all doing our thing. Somebody
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: died at the shore, I ain't talking about that. Go ahead,
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: or he wanted to go straight to that. Oh yeah,
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: we're doing our thing.
- 1:13:20Speaker 6: Man, a comedian that you that you hate going after them.
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: I can go after people. Don't like going after me.
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: Anybody that go after me, they doing their thing. That's
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: why I show love to DC like all the new commedia, Well,
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: I don't even they not even knew them about all
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: the ones that came up after me. Yeah, the younger ones,
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: if they can go up after me, they the truth,
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: and all them go up after me and they all
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: do their thing. Yeah you wanted to.
- 1:13:45Speaker 3: You know, people be wondering how you stay so relevant
- 1:13:48Speaker 3: on social media, but you were the social media guy early, early,
- 1:13:51Speaker 3: early earlier.
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: Yeah, we always you was too. You know what I'm saying,
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: We all was. It's just we can grandfathered in that.
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: So it ain't no stopping me on social media. You
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: can try, They're done deleted me so many goddamn time.
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: It is what it is at this point. How social
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: media helped you as a as an artist.
- 1:14:06Speaker 11: Just like anything else. It's just another form of way
- 1:14:09Speaker 11: of doing Entertainment's just another outlet. So I just took
- 1:14:12Speaker 11: that outlet and capitalize off of it, just like whatever next.
- 1:14:15Speaker 11: If I give it, I'm a jump on that too.
- 1:14:17Speaker 11: But I'm getting older that you know what we're gonna
- 1:14:19Speaker 11: talk about it?
- 1:14:20Speaker 6: Is it anything you want to do?
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: I feel like I'm doing what I want to do.
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: I feel like if I'm already planning at the seeds
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: of what I wanted to do. Now I'm just watching
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: blurished and doing everything and I don't like to talk
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: about what I'm doing. I just like to do it
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: now because when you talk about it, it kind of
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: takes the impact from it.
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: Do Baal one of them people that truly appreciates everything
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: he has. That's why he gets blessed with more. That's
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: the problem with the area were live in. Nobody appreciates
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: where they're at, and anybody just do what they see work,
- 1:14:48Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: That's that's what made it so hard for me to
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: get into podcast now, is because I feel like podcast
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: is just another I mean, it's good, but it's it's
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: like what you do, it's media, you know what I'm saying.
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: Like when we started, we all that was our thing.
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: I don't want to do it. He do. He don't
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: want to do what I do. It's just now that
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: entertainment that's evolved over to more media and that not
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: everybody doing it. So I feel like that's what we
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: gotta do. Well. I don't give a fuck about media,
- 1:15:13Speaker 2: and that's what we are, entertainers, We not media. You
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, But well, yeah you are now
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: you are, and you good at it. You know what
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: I'm saying.
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: You good.
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: But I could do this. But I really just like
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: entertaining and I like just being in the public. I'm
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: a social person. That's what social media. He media. I'm social.
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: I'm social. That's why we work good together. I'm still social.
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: He's still me. It just media is popping them. Yeah,
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: and that's why everybody else going to it. That's why
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: I ain't working for them. But it worked for people
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: like this because this is really what he is.
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: You know, I'm five years in.
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: Yeah, and they trying to skip the line, but they
- 1:15:47Speaker 2: ain't gonna do it. They keep trying.
- 1:15:49Speaker 7: They'll see, all right, we got more a little Duvall
- 1:15:51Speaker 7: when we come back. It's the breakfast Club.
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: Good morning, the breakfast Club.
- 1:15:58Speaker 7: Nt everybody be all the breakfast Club. We're still kicking

- 1:16:03Speaker 1: We had a draw call Michael. Yeah, he said, he said,
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: comedy is a dying ut.
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: I mean, it just evolved, you know, it's just evolved.
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: It's we look at stand up because that's all we got.
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: But stand up is damn there like jazz now you
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, It's still there, but it's evolving
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: to what I'm doing social media that you know what
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: I'm saying, even though they ain't comedians, but we programmed
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: because over fifteen twenty years of social media to make
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: them think that they comedian. So the public think that's
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: that's comedian. So that's just all it is. I don't
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: see no difference. I mean, stand up and stand up,
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: and it's just evolved into something else?
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: Is it?
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: In the tentive audience at y'all shows? Because you got you,
- 1:16:46Speaker 3: you got DC all the it.
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: Is the way we do it. You know the way
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: we do it. You make it a tender at least
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: way I do it. You know what I'm saying. I
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: make sure I make sure the whole show good. I
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: try to make make the balance to wear us a

- 1:17:30Speaker 2: there and go to Atlantic stay and then come back.
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: Well, we're happy that you decided to come here this morning,
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: so you don't get fine. Man, we appreciate you.
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: I appreciate y'all. I appreciate Black Effect and you and
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: Dolly for being patient with because they've been gave me
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: the money for this. I don't even know if I
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: got them. I think Clay got it, so I don't
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: even know if I even got on. But Clay wanted
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: it to be all of y'all. Honestly, that's really real
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: reason why I did it. It's just me and Clay
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: was supposed to do this together, you know what I'm saying.
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: So so one see Dad, I just feel like it's
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: my obligation to do this, because I mean, I was
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: really doing it for him. You've been telling me to
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: do it. I've been pushing this forever. And then once
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: Clay started talking to me, I was laying on that
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: God damn bit it ain't had doing all right, I
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: do it. And once we start talking about it and
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: he started talking about what he wanted to do, it
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: started making more sense to me. And then he died. Hard.
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: Yeah, I really have like people likeing money, but it's
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: kind of hard.
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: I just like doing what I do. It's hard for
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: me just sit here and see this as entertainment, just
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: sitting here rambling and that's all podcast is to me.
- 1:18:34Speaker 6: But maybe you had to just shut out.
- 1:18:35Speaker 3: Maybe.
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: I mean, I do it now. I mean, and I
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: see the imp because I see the impact of it.
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: Just with my my show. I just seem like it's
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: doing pretty good. So I guess I was supposed to
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: do it. Like a lot of stuff I don't like
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: to do, but I do it if my friends and
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: family tell me I should do it. And a lot
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: of that's type a lot that type of stuff has
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: actually worked in my favorite So I listen to people
