Do you feel you feel pressure to do a great

But I saw you with the fight Charlemagne.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yes, I was at the Triple G Daddy Jacobs fight.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
And I got to tell you, I got excited to
see and I realized I never met this person.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
That's how I felt.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I saw you.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
A few rolls up, I'm like, that's Dave Chappelle. And
then you turned around and you saluted. But I'm like,
I don't think you're doing that to me. I didn't
want to salute back at first. You want us to
loot back at from like, oh, he's talking to me.
I told my wife and saying, you see Dave Chappelle,
just say what's up to me? So I'm saying all
that to say, you know, I got really good for
LA show that night because you said what was something?
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I didn't know where that was gone?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Do you waken bacon the morning day? Do you wait
till after breakfast?
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Yeah, I'm a waiter. I usually late at night.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Oh at night? Okay, okay, you said something interesting. You
said you don't ever want to just present something bad.
You still feel like you got something to prove because
you're like critically acclaimed, you're respected by your peers. You
feel like you got something to proof.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
No, it's not, it's not necessarily feel like proved. I'm
sure you guys feel the same way. It's like quality control, right.
You want to make sure that whatever you offer you
put your best for. You know, thates doesn't mean you
want to prove anything. This means you respect the people
that respect you. You want to reciprocate their respect with
a good product.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
You still get nervous when you do shows, or this
is a piece of kick to you.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Well, one time it didn't work out.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Sometimes, don't worry. You know what it's like and done.
You can test this. People ask me, like, do you
get nervous when you going stage? It's like asking a
pilot if he gets nervous before a flight. I might
hit some weather, but I feel like normally we land
the plane. I don't think we've never not landed maybe Detroit,
but other than that, By.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
The way, I would never want to I would never
want to know if my pilot was nervous, by the way,
you want a.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
Nervous I'm just a little confused because everybody's throwing so
much respect. And Dave, I've been on this show four
or five times. When I come in here, they don't
even look me in my face.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Every time I come here. Y'all on social media everything.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
What about that time you came and I told everybody
that said no matter what Donelle says, do not laugh.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
It was like it was like I was like, oh,
this looked like the set up.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
What made you even like down there was it was
what was it down.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
There that I could work with this guy? The first
time I heard a bunch you That was I went
home to d C and I went to the comedy
club and I asked some old comers like what's popping
around here? And everybody was like, Yo, you gotta see
this new kid down now, rawlings.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
And then I met you and we had we had
a swell time.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Remember that. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Swell time, David, regretting it.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Everywhere.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I watched the like okay, like I watched your show
one line all the time, Like I watched all you
guys I've seen. I just watched an interview that you
did with Neil. Yeah, face that's my guy. I watched
you on a real estate show. Yeah. And then and
I saw you with the DJA Awards. I have presented
award to you, and you promise. You said I'm gonna
(04:15):
come on the show. You said, you know, I got
need a little time, but I'm gonna come.
Speaker 8 (04:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
That's right, that's right. You definitely kept your work.
Speaker 9 (04:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Man, s to my guy, Neil, why do you think
white people have gravitated towards you your comedy because it's
been like that your whole career.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Well, you know, I don't know. I don't look at
it that way like the whites are really gravitating to it.
I don't use those I don't use those kinds of metrics.
I think all of us at some point we have
ventured into some kind of cultural crossroad.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
We're black people, but we're corporate people.
Speaker 10 (04:45):
And we all.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Smoke weed, we all you know, we traversed the American landscape.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So I don't think there's anyone in America that I'm
incapable of communicating to on some level. Do you think
so sensitive? Now?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Do you think you could do the Dave Chappelle Show
and not have backlash? Because it seems like everything is sensitive.
You say a word and people are already crying and
picking it outside of things.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Hey man, President, grass girls by.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
The that's all you need to know, right, that's what.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
That's what it's said, you know, you know, and comedians
wipe out, you know, everybody does. Sometimes you're gonna say
something and you might be wrong, but that's that's the
nature of the genre. You know. To not take a
chance for fear of that would be would not be
being true to the music. Would you ever apologize if
you said something too far, if if if I can
(05:34):
see if I actually can see this too far. But
it's a it's a touchy line, you know what I mean?
I go, I like, I like it harder, I think,
I think that.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, I'm gonna say you have you have quite possibly
the greatest rape joke of all time? He said, was that?
Was that an observation you was pondering?
Speaker 8 (05:54):
Or?
Speaker 6 (05:55):
I mean, you know the thing is, this is the thing.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
It's tough to talk about, Joe, because I don't want
to open the door with all these weird like analytics
and like what does he actually mean by that? That's
a slippery slope. But you know, I don't want to
antagonize anybody or intentionally offend somebody.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Have you come up with an answer for as far
as like what should we do with Bill Cobby? Should
we still watch his work? Should we still appreciate his art?
Do you have an answer for that?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yeah? No, The question is the kind of question that
makes more questions, got you? You know what I mean? Like,
it's it's a tough one man, because you know what
he's accused of. Its very serious, don't I don't I
don't like take that lightly, however, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
It was seventies times. It's crazy, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Don't know. I don't know what to say. America's dad
is now America's racers, according to the New York Public.
So it's a tough one.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
We got more with David Chappelle and Donnell Rowlands when
we come back.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Don't move. It's the breakfast Club, Good morning.

Speaker 9 (08:17):
Redidual.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Holding everybody as dj N v Angela yee, charlomagea god,
we all.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
The breakfast club. We have Dave Chappelle and Donale Rawlings
in the building. Yee.
Speaker 10 (08:28):
I did appreciate on those specials that you didn't shy
away from any topics because I do feel like everybody's
so politically correct, you know. And I also find it
ironic that everybody's like he walked away from fifty million,
but then you came back and got sixty million doing
Netflix special.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, well you know what. Yeah, thank god that there
was a happy ending to away from special because I
could have just never worked again, you know. But I
never stopped. Even when I was like not in the
public guy, I was still playing comedy clubs and I
found an altitude that I was comfortable and you know,
a good time. How many terms of dated Donne will
(09:04):
call you and beg you to come back. No, he
didn't call you and beg me with nothing.
Speaker 10 (09:09):
Were you guys always in communication? Because Donad did it
for a while. He was in a state of depression after.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Donelle was Jesus, Yeah, I had a tough time myself,
Like what about me? I think, you know when I
was gone, I think I stayed in donall standing with
me and Neil were cool the whole time. You know,
it wasn't It wasn't as a bad blood amongst us.
Like people will assume that I left in the hub.
(09:36):
It wasn't like I mean, I didn leave the hoob.
I wasn't mad at the guy.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
A lot of people like after, you know, after he left,
a lot of people would ask me, you know how
I feel about it?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Whatever, all you're upset?
Speaker 7 (09:45):
And I never was upset because I was doing comedy
for a while before I was introduced to Dave Chappelle.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Like with anything you can be.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
You could be as talented as you want, but until
you get the right platform, nobody would never know about.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
It, gotcha, So you know, just st know if I
can't be in a day's fellas didn't here.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
But.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I speak, I know what happened.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
But you know, everybody, you know the one that I've
been asked that question a million times that I always
felt that I was talented but again, you need to
write opportunity. Like even in sports, you know you could
be a talented person, but until the coach put you
in the game, nobody will never see what you So
you do. So he gave me a platform to do
what I've been doing for years. And I think there
was an even exchange after that.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Okay, so Dave you.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Pot down.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Now we have a favorite mumble rapper because you a
hip hop Hey, do you appreciate anything from this generation?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Uh? Yeah, I appreciate it. I mean a party too,
if I go out and they're playing Migos and I
listened to that. Yeah, but a favorite mumble rapper, I
don't know about all that.
Speaker 10 (10:55):
I like to build to say, the lyrics to well,
I can tell who you really like based on who
you have on tour. When you well, when you do
this residency that you're doing in New York City at
Radio City, I can see that you hear him picked
the artists that you wanted to be there.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Yeah, you know it's funny, man. So this year will
be like my thirtieth anniversary standard. I figured, like why
I should mark that occasion right? Like you know it's
you know, this business is hard.
Speaker 11 (11:20):
You.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
You existed in a long time, and it's good to
stop for a minute and just appreciate the fact that
you I'm still able to do this, and I'm very
lucky to be successful. So it's it's it's a it's
a celebration. Like even now you'll see my next special,
the act I'm doing now, I like it because this
joy in it. I'm really enjoying what I'm doing. I
(11:43):
really you know what I mean. It's like I want
skydiving once. Have you ever done that?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Nos?
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Okay, I hated it, you know I what.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Did you hate about it? Because I hated going up.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I hate the thought of jump people.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I enjoyed that, the whole going up part. Didn't like
it because it was terrifying the entire time. Like, Okay,
I died a plane. Yeah, in the beginning, it's a
plane ride. Then the door opens yep, and you realize
you expected to jump out, and I'm strapped to a
guy that I've never met before, and I didn't see
the shoot pack and oh my god, I have kids
(12:17):
and all this stuff. You're thinking as you edge up
to the door. Next thing you know, you're just in
the sky. There's no logical reason to be there. There's
no you know, my life didn't depend on it. And
yet I jumped out of this plane and you're just
falling and everyone says it feels like flying, but to me,
it felt like falling about one hundred and twenty miles
and I was terrifying.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
So what did you get out the situation other than
being terrified?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Well, the point is when you when the shoot lands
and you survive it, you go home that night, you
eat then a food taste, but house is quiet and
still in it. You feel comfortable in safe in your house.
You're like, man, I'm glad to be home. Everything's good.
So that's what it felt like. It felt like coming
back and doing this Netflix special. All that felt like
my shoot open and everything's just good.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Right. I just got to do all that to get
that feeling. I'm black in America. All I got to
do is to drive through the neighborhood that I live
in and make it home without being stopped. And I
feel that I live in a much nicer neighborhood office.
I mean, we're all black.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
You know what I mean? Like, I not know what
you mean, but it's not like I'm going to try
to survive a traffic stop just to get that feeling.
I mean, it's like it's the black experience. But I
did it.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
I don't know why I did it, but the point
is that now this is just I'm happy to be
doing them.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Would you do it again?
Speaker 5 (13:38):
What?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Quit myself?
Speaker 11 (13:39):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
No, I don't think I would. Man. I mean, like,
I get it. I know what it's about. You know
what I mean. I just think that you know something.
It's just one of those things that I didn't even
mean to do it the first time. It's a long story.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
If I hate to do this, but I have to
put you on the spot. But could you explain to
the breakfast club what you did to my apple pie
a year ago?
Speaker 9 (14:07):
Now?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
He's talking, Okay. So we were playing at the Paps
Blue Rimmon Theater and the pastry chef and down there
hit it off the first night and engagement.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
She was white and.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
No but she know, she's an older woman, real sweet woman,
and she really liked down there. So I came to
work and she had baked him a pie and the
pie had his name stenciled in the crust.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
And I was excited about it because every day she
would come away. She says, there anything that you could
do for Is there anything specially one?
Speaker 6 (14:42):
I was like, make me a pie.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
She was like, that's pretty simple. I said, well, if
that's so simple, make me a pie and put my
name on the top of the pie.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
That is correct.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
About And I was excited about the pie. Okay, no, no,
I was sure everybody pie.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I didn't actually put money in it when you have
the leading the day and he kept going.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
He was like, because somebody put that pie in the
microwave for three seconds. So as a bunch of people
love Dave Chappelle, he's an evil friend.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
By sage. We got more with Dave Chappelle when we
come back. Don't move. It's the breakfast Club, the.
Speaker 11 (15:26):
Morning Lads, the Sable Laddie, all the single lattice, the
Sable Laddys, all the lattice, the single lattice.

Speaker 4 (16:18):

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Then I want to tell you you heard about the pain.
Speaker 4 (16:24):

a lack any feel like and then.

Speaker 11 (16:49):
Stopping here?
Speaker 1 (16:50):

Speaker 1 (17:12):
When the last time you've been humbled? Dave humbled?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (17:16):
You mean like what professionally or personally?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Both?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Right? Yo?
Speaker 8 (17:20):
Yo?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Man?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Life is humiliating, Yeah for you for everybody.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
You think if I'm walking down the street and the
lady says, you know, can I take a picture and
she don't know how to work a camera and we
all standing in there, but she do that because you
gotta you know, you gotta have empathy. But life is humilly.
Being a parent's humiliating, being a husband's humiliated. All of
it's humiliated.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
The hindsight of twenty twenty was it was everything worth it,
Like everything you went through, like even the spell show experience,
and even walking away from it, was it all worth it?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Hey man? Yeah, I was. I was happy to have
that show, you know, I'm sorry and the way it ended,
but I enjoyed making that show.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
It was it was an experience that very few people
get to have. You miss it, especially with everything going
on and so much material this because I see something
and I say, damn, I misw Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I miss it too, you know, But I think I
don't know if I could do it again though, because
I miss it. But then I remember what it was
like to do it, and it just wasn't It might
be easier now to make it just because of technology.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
And yeah, but the end of that ruined because it.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Won't be the same.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah, stuff that you want to do somebody will do
on YouTube ten times faster and ten times worse.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Right, Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
But you didn't play a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
It was great. Yeah, I worked with a lot of
great people. I was doing the showing at Lanta the
other night and bumped into like some of the guys
from the crew.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
I hadn't seen those guys when I walked up the set.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
It was good to see them. And you know, you
remember people finally, like after it's all said and done,
So you know, I do have bad filds about how
it ended, but I don't have bad films about what
it was. It was a great experience.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
How did Charlie Murphy's passing affect you, because I know
you guys were pretty close.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
It was tough, man, it was it was a reality.
I feel very lucky that I got to know him.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I feel like he's a very large part of the
reason that I got to be successful. Like literally changed
my life just by saying I fought Rick James. Many
times we were like what he fought.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Jesus?
Speaker 11 (19:29):
Whoa? Whoa.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
But it's not like I didn't know you could stay
on the radio. But no, he said he fought Rick
James many times. We tell us his story at lunch
and it literally from then on, it just changed, It
changed our livestalized. Yeah, man, but you know I got
to like meet and work with Rick and the I mean,
(19:55):
you know Charlie, and he was a o G. Like
Charlie's been around the block. You know his brother it
is Eddie Murphy. He's seen the epicenter of like the
fame that we all wanted to acquire. And he had
great stories and he was also real nurturing dude. I
think he gave me great advice. Uh, you know, I
got miss his presence. Man, I'm really I was.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Real sad to you that doing a great job on Power.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Great job he took Donelle's job.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
He definitely took that's when he busted you. And yeah,
but I will say, you.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Know, like you, when other people get stuff away from yourself,
it's hard to celebrate that. But you know, when I
found out that Charlie was doing that role, I realized
that he was probably a perfect person for him. And
then the hindsight as far as with him passing away
or whatever, I just think this is a nice thing.
For people to see him being a part of a
great body of work like that, and he said, and
he did a good job.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Did Charlie. Definitely, y'all think about your own mortality because
I know Donnelle called me one day, Randy, he was like,
y'all just want to tell you man, you know what
I'm saying. You know, people dying and you might die,
so that's gonna tell You'll love you. You're doing a
good job. I'm like, what.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
You know, I will say.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
And I know Dave may have different answers, like when
someone passed away and something, specially when somebody that you
care about, it makes you think about people important in
your life, for the people that you respect. And I
don't know, I was probably you know, in my feelings
that day, but I and it was at a time
when you just dropped your book and I'm saying, like
your transition from not just doing urban stuff, but like
(21:21):
the media run that you get, well, I'll keep it
real all the white folks that you partner up.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I was like, I was like, he's taking it to
the next level.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
And another thing in our community is not too often
that people read books. So the fact that you know
a brother put a book out and he got people
that wouldn't normally, uh, pay attention to that. Like, I
know it's hard to say. And I didn't say no,
homo before I said that I loved you, and I
know that's.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Why it brought and I didn't say Paul's at the end.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
Right.
Speaker 11 (22:00):
Was sick.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
I thought he was like, and that's the one time
that we really appreciate people.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
That's in death.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
And when someone passed away, it makes you think about
so many times in our life. We get to a
point where you say to yourself, I wanted to call
that person just to say hi or just say what's up,
and you don't act on those feelings, and then something
tragical happened and then you're like, oh man, I was
just supposed to call him.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
So that was me and my mom. You know, sometimes
on the tour bus down there, gets drunk and looks
at pictures of his son and cried. I just tell
you that I can believe that that's cute. I called
him doing it.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You haven't met that baby mama, Yeah, of course, Yeah,
of course she's wonderful.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
We vacation together. Yeah, I seen that.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
You guys want the yacht.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yeah, well yeah, well yeah, because I thought it was
a yacht until I saw Puffy.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Just went on.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Puffy turns that we had a boat, that we had
a boat.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You really need to compete with stuff like that, though,
Nah at all. Yeah, I'm I'm really, like, really really
happy right now. And I you know, I appreciate it,
like my kids are safe right now.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I don't know what. Everyone's happy and one's fair and
clean and it's good. Look man, I'm just Yeah. We've
seen you pop out with Chris Rock a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Another legend, another icon.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, he's that's the homie man.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
There's only two of y'all in that space though.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, Chris is there. He's definitely big brother. Though he's like,
he's killing it. I went and saw his act seems
act a few times. One he's doing. He's killing it.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Right now, he's saying, maybe you guys would do a
tour together.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well, we are. We are gonna do two nights together
at Radio City. Will be the first time we've ever
officially headlined the show, a co headline show together, and
I'm very excited about it because.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
This is the first time any comic has ever done
a residency of a month of Radio City Music Hall.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Dave is a real humble doo.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
He's not gonna say, really the spectacle of what's about
to go down, But nobody's ever done a joint where
like the entire month of August were locking everything down.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
We got some of the best.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Show Don't let me get me, don't.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I don't think y'all need no other comedians on those.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
And to be quite honest, to be quite honest, you don't.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
But you know what I'm saying, We got a team.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
I'm not I'm gonna do some of the shows.

Usually we do rumors right here, but I mean Donnelle Rowlings.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
And Dave Chappelle's here. Dave Chappelle hasn't done radio in
twelve years, so we're kicking it with Dave Chappelle.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Charlamagne to ask you, what do you draw the line
when it comes to like a cultural appropriation. What do
you mean white people appropriating like black culture.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Okay, this is a controversial question, and I'm not sure
if the premise. I'm not sure if the premise of
the question is correct.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Kylie and Kendall today superimposed their images on Biggie and
Tupac T shirt and they got t shirt.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Right, Okay, And as a black person, a person from
that culture, you feel like they are just misrespectful, disrespect Yeah. Yeah, man,
that's that's a tough one. Did you go see the
Tupac movie?
Speaker 5 (28:00):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Did you like it?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
I don't think it was as terrible as everybody was saying,
but it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I haven't heard good things and so yesterday it wasn't like.
Speaker 10 (28:10):
It starts before Tupac is born and it ends when
he died. That's a long period of time to cover.
And so many things that happened in Tupac's life, and
he was such a complex person and so many different incidents.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
You ever had a club when Tupac was there?
Speaker 5 (28:25):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Never. It wasn't that much fun really, Terry, Yeah, I
just remember being in party. It just felt like a
lot of darks.
Speaker 9 (28:34):
A guy.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
I liked him, I didn't know him well, but I
felt like culturally that those were darker times.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, absolutely, the guts there.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Right, you know, And I'm not saying this would be controversial.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
I don't even this has nothing to do with the
question that you asked me.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I just thought you got out the question like a
UFC fighter.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
And I've been watching Charlotte, Man, I was ready for you.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
Everyone was like, just ignore him.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
I just you know, you plan to see it to
just get an idea.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
I'm gonna watch it at home, probably, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Like, I don't know, man, the question you're asking, I
think is a very important question. But I'm not sure
how to answer that, you know what I mean, because
at a certain point, I feel like no one's gonna
feel that way more than African American because we create
so much culture and oftentimes just ciphering from us and
(29:35):
as almost all that we ever had, I'm had. We've
done many great things. But you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Absolutely, But but it is American culture too.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Kylie and Kenner like they don't understand what they've happened into.
They don't understand they I don't think they were doing
that maliciously. I just think that they don't. They're never
gonna be a black dudes, they're not gonna see the world.
They if you have some glasses someone could put on
just to see the world, how you saw the world,
it be right terrified. Yeah, you know, I heard the
(30:08):
interview with you.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
I know what you mean. I get it. But that's
a hard question to answer.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Do your kids think you're funny?
Speaker 11 (30:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Yeah, I mean, look, I'm the dad, so there's something
about me that's corny to them. But they but they yeah,
they get it. They know. My kids are teenagers now.
My youngest son is as old as I was when
I started doing its fourteen.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
They started at fourteen.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Yeah, I started really young.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Wow. Thirty years I'll be I'll be forty four this
this summer, Veteran seasoned. Yeah, and it'll be my thirtieth
Anni version.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I'm like, really proud of that made you get on
stage age of fourteen, the fear of death? Well, do
you do you have been thinking about your own mortality?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Well? Yo, we're black dudes in America, so right when
I was in high school, my freshman year of high school,
I talked about on an Access studio six hundred kids
my age got murdered in Washington, DC, you can't be
in an environment like that and that not affected Like, Yo,
you made me want to just do whatever it was
I wanted to do.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
I feel very lucky to get to be forty four, right,
which which you know.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Now I'm more ambitious and I'm looking forward to pay
and have price at the movies. But before that, I
didn't know I was going to live this long, you know.
And I think the fear of not doing what I
wanted to do in life made me do what I
want to do.
Speaker 10 (31:29):
Even in Kevin Hart's book, he talks about doing comedy
because he was just trying to survive too, Like just
being funny is what actually helped him.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Not Yeah, I wonder what makes you believe the stage
can save you?
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Though it absolutely did. Look at guy like Kevin Heart's
mother from Philly. He is the number one selling artist
on tour on Earth from any jump. You know, I'm
very proud that somebody from my genre is at the
top of the food chain's right, and it's somebody I
remember him starting out. It's amazing to see it, and
(32:02):
it's absolutely could say you're like, what made you think
that you're fast talking? And your liking of controversial questions
would take it as far as it had that's true,
and yeah and yeah, and I've never met you, but
you one of the few celebrities I've met in a
long time. Like literally, I feel like I know you
(32:23):
and I've only seen you once. It means you're very
effective at what you do. In my opinion, it means
you're very effective.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
But I still feel like I can get shot because
of my fast talking, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, but God forbid, no, man, you've transcended that. I mean, look,
anything terrible can happen to anybody. But there's some people
that get shot that never get a platform, they never
get to write a book, that never get the I mean,
everybody knows your name. You meet famous people, they already
know who you are. It's amazing, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
What about that?
Speaker 5 (32:53):
I was so aware somebody came up to me wanted
to take a picture.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
They thought I was him.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
That don't that's what I swearing gout. He was like,
are you charlemne the God?
Speaker 3 (33:07):
I was like, you don't come, that's just a factful.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Why you feel mad about that? You wasn't mad with
Morris Chestnut.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
That's Morris Chestnut. I mean, it's a different you call
Mars Chestnut, lurs Chestnut and think of you. That's the
big deal.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
You tell about the ghost? Who do we hear up
for tickets? Oh? You guys, you're good. You're good money.
Until we get to the door and we got to
call it down out. I was like, I will never know.
Speaker 8 (33:35):

twelve oh man, the legendary, that's right, iconic Dave Chappale.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Oh my god, good morning, Hey, good morning man.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Do you feel you feel pressure to do a great
radio if you since you haven't done it in twelve years?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Not really, I mean yeah, you know I want everybody
like me. I don't come out and try to do bad.
But I saw you with the fight Charlemagne.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yes, I was at the Triple G Daddy Jacobs fight.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
And I got to tell you, I got excited to
see and I realized I never met this person.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
That's how I felt.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I saw you.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
A few rolls up, I'm like, that's Dave Chappelle. And
then you turned around and you saluted. But I'm like,
I don't think you're doing that to me. I didn't
want to salute back at first. You want us to
loot back at from like, oh, he's talking to me.
I told my wife and saying, you see Dave Chappelle,
just say what's up to me? So I'm saying all
that to say, you know, I got really good for
LA show that night because you said what was something?
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I didn't know where that was gone?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Do you waken bacon the morning day? Do you wait
till after breakfast?
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Yeah, I'm a waiter. I usually late at night.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Oh at night? Okay, okay, you said something interesting. You
said you don't ever want to just present something bad.
You still feel like you got something to prove because
you're like critically acclaimed, you're respected by your peers. You
feel like you got something to proof.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
No, it's not, it's not necessarily feel like proved. I'm
sure you guys feel the same way. It's like quality control, right.
You want to make sure that whatever you offer you
put your best for. You know, thates doesn't mean you
want to prove anything. This means you respect the people
that respect you. You want to reciprocate their respect with
a good product.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
You still get nervous when you do shows, or this
is a piece of kick to you.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Well, one time it didn't work out.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Sometimes, don't worry. You know what it's like and done.
You can test this. People ask me, like, do you
get nervous when you going stage? It's like asking a
pilot if he gets nervous before a flight. I might
hit some weather, but I feel like normally we land
the plane. I don't think we've never not landed maybe Detroit,
but other than that, By.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
The way, I would never want to I would never
want to know if my pilot was nervous, by the way,
you want a.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
Nervous I'm just a little confused because everybody's throwing so
much respect. And Dave, I've been on this show four
or five times. When I come in here, they don't
even look me in my face.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Every time I come here. Y'all on social media everything.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
What about that time you came and I told everybody
that said no matter what Donelle says, do not laugh.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
It was like it was like I was like, oh,
this looked like the set up.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
What made you even like down there was it was
what was it down.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
There that I could work with this guy? The first
time I heard a bunch you That was I went
home to d C and I went to the comedy
club and I asked some old comers like what's popping
around here? And everybody was like, Yo, you gotta see
this new kid down now, rawlings.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
And then I met you and we had we had
a swell time.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Remember that. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Swell time, David, regretting it.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Everywhere.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I watched the like okay, like I watched your show
one line all the time, Like I watched all you
guys I've seen. I just watched an interview that you
did with Neil. Yeah, face that's my guy. I watched
you on a real estate show. Yeah. And then and
I saw you with the DJA Awards. I have presented
award to you, and you promise. You said I'm gonna
(04:15):
come on the show. You said, you know, I got
need a little time, but I'm gonna come.
Speaker 8 (04:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
That's right, that's right. You definitely kept your work.
Speaker 9 (04:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Man, s to my guy, Neil, why do you think
white people have gravitated towards you your comedy because it's
been like that your whole career.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Well, you know, I don't know. I don't look at
it that way like the whites are really gravitating to it.
I don't use those I don't use those kinds of metrics.
I think all of us at some point we have
ventured into some kind of cultural crossroad.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
We're black people, but we're corporate people.
Speaker 10 (04:45):
And we all.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Smoke weed, we all you know, we traversed the American landscape.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So I don't think there's anyone in America that I'm
incapable of communicating to on some level. Do you think
so sensitive? Now?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Do you think you could do the Dave Chappelle Show
and not have backlash? Because it seems like everything is sensitive.
You say a word and people are already crying and
picking it outside of things.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Hey man, President, grass girls by.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
The that's all you need to know, right, that's what.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
That's what it's said, you know, you know, and comedians
wipe out, you know, everybody does. Sometimes you're gonna say
something and you might be wrong, but that's that's the
nature of the genre. You know. To not take a
chance for fear of that would be would not be
being true to the music. Would you ever apologize if
you said something too far, if if if I can
(05:34):
see if I actually can see this too far. But
it's a it's a touchy line, you know what I mean?
I go, I like, I like it harder, I think,
I think that.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, I'm gonna say you have you have quite possibly
the greatest rape joke of all time? He said, was that?
Was that an observation you was pondering?
Speaker 8 (05:54):
Or?
Speaker 6 (05:55):
I mean, you know the thing is, this is the thing.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
It's tough to talk about, Joe, because I don't want
to open the door with all these weird like analytics
and like what does he actually mean by that? That's
a slippery slope. But you know, I don't want to
antagonize anybody or intentionally offend somebody.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Have you come up with an answer for as far
as like what should we do with Bill Cobby? Should
we still watch his work? Should we still appreciate his art?
Do you have an answer for that?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yeah? No, The question is the kind of question that
makes more questions, got you? You know what I mean? Like,
it's it's a tough one man, because you know what
he's accused of. Its very serious, don't I don't I
don't like take that lightly, however, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
It was seventies times. It's crazy, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Don't know. I don't know what to say. America's dad
is now America's racers, according to the New York Public.
So it's a tough one.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
We got more with David Chappelle and Donnell Rowlands when
we come back.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Don't move. It's the breakfast Club, Good morning.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I don't know when my.
Speaker 9 (06:56):
Names became so complicated, my mounting sabathing. It's baby baby,

Speaker 9 (08:17):
Redidual.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Holding everybody as dj N v Angela yee, charlomagea god,
we all.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
The breakfast club. We have Dave Chappelle and Donale Rawlings
in the building. Yee.
Speaker 10 (08:28):
I did appreciate on those specials that you didn't shy
away from any topics because I do feel like everybody's
so politically correct, you know. And I also find it
ironic that everybody's like he walked away from fifty million,
but then you came back and got sixty million doing
Netflix special.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, well you know what. Yeah, thank god that there
was a happy ending to away from special because I
could have just never worked again, you know. But I
never stopped. Even when I was like not in the
public guy, I was still playing comedy clubs and I
found an altitude that I was comfortable and you know,
a good time. How many terms of dated Donne will
(09:04):
call you and beg you to come back. No, he
didn't call you and beg me with nothing.
Speaker 10 (09:09):
Were you guys always in communication? Because Donad did it
for a while. He was in a state of depression after.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Donelle was Jesus, Yeah, I had a tough time myself,
Like what about me? I think, you know when I
was gone, I think I stayed in donall standing with
me and Neil were cool the whole time. You know,
it wasn't It wasn't as a bad blood amongst us.
Like people will assume that I left in the hub.
(09:36):
It wasn't like I mean, I didn leave the hoob.
I wasn't mad at the guy.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
A lot of people like after, you know, after he left,
a lot of people would ask me, you know how
I feel about it?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Whatever, all you're upset?
Speaker 7 (09:45):
And I never was upset because I was doing comedy
for a while before I was introduced to Dave Chappelle.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Like with anything you can be.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
You could be as talented as you want, but until
you get the right platform, nobody would never know about.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
It, gotcha, So you know, just st know if I
can't be in a day's fellas didn't here.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
But.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I speak, I know what happened.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
But you know, everybody, you know the one that I've
been asked that question a million times that I always
felt that I was talented but again, you need to
write opportunity. Like even in sports, you know you could
be a talented person, but until the coach put you
in the game, nobody will never see what you So
you do. So he gave me a platform to do
what I've been doing for years. And I think there
was an even exchange after that.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Okay, so Dave you.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Pot down.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Now we have a favorite mumble rapper because you a
hip hop Hey, do you appreciate anything from this generation?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Uh? Yeah, I appreciate it. I mean a party too,
if I go out and they're playing Migos and I
listened to that. Yeah, but a favorite mumble rapper, I
don't know about all that.
Speaker 10 (10:55):
I like to build to say, the lyrics to well,
I can tell who you really like based on who
you have on tour. When you well, when you do
this residency that you're doing in New York City at
Radio City, I can see that you hear him picked
the artists that you wanted to be there.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Yeah, you know it's funny, man. So this year will
be like my thirtieth anniversary standard. I figured, like why
I should mark that occasion right? Like you know it's
you know, this business is hard.
Speaker 11 (11:20):
You.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
You existed in a long time, and it's good to
stop for a minute and just appreciate the fact that
you I'm still able to do this, and I'm very
lucky to be successful. So it's it's it's a it's
a celebration. Like even now you'll see my next special,
the act I'm doing now, I like it because this
joy in it. I'm really enjoying what I'm doing. I
(11:43):
really you know what I mean. It's like I want
skydiving once. Have you ever done that?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Nos?
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Okay, I hated it, you know I what.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Did you hate about it? Because I hated going up.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I hate the thought of jump people.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I enjoyed that, the whole going up part. Didn't like
it because it was terrifying the entire time. Like, Okay,
I died a plane. Yeah, in the beginning, it's a
plane ride. Then the door opens yep, and you realize
you expected to jump out, and I'm strapped to a
guy that I've never met before, and I didn't see
the shoot pack and oh my god, I have kids
(12:17):
and all this stuff. You're thinking as you edge up
to the door. Next thing you know, you're just in
the sky. There's no logical reason to be there. There's
no you know, my life didn't depend on it. And
yet I jumped out of this plane and you're just
falling and everyone says it feels like flying, but to me,
it felt like falling about one hundred and twenty miles
and I was terrifying.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
So what did you get out the situation other than
being terrified?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Well, the point is when you when the shoot lands
and you survive it, you go home that night, you
eat then a food taste, but house is quiet and
still in it. You feel comfortable in safe in your house.
You're like, man, I'm glad to be home. Everything's good.
So that's what it felt like. It felt like coming
back and doing this Netflix special. All that felt like
my shoot open and everything's just good.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Right. I just got to do all that to get
that feeling. I'm black in America. All I got to
do is to drive through the neighborhood that I live
in and make it home without being stopped. And I
feel that I live in a much nicer neighborhood office.
I mean, we're all black.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
You know what I mean? Like, I not know what
you mean, but it's not like I'm going to try
to survive a traffic stop just to get that feeling.
I mean, it's like it's the black experience. But I
did it.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
I don't know why I did it, but the point
is that now this is just I'm happy to be
doing them.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Would you do it again?
Speaker 5 (13:38):
What?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Quit myself?
Speaker 11 (13:39):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
No, I don't think I would. Man. I mean, like,
I get it. I know what it's about. You know
what I mean. I just think that you know something.
It's just one of those things that I didn't even
mean to do it the first time. It's a long story.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
If I hate to do this, but I have to
put you on the spot. But could you explain to
the breakfast club what you did to my apple pie
a year ago?
Speaker 9 (14:07):
Now?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
He's talking, Okay. So we were playing at the Paps
Blue Rimmon Theater and the pastry chef and down there
hit it off the first night and engagement.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
She was white and.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
No but she know, she's an older woman, real sweet woman,
and she really liked down there. So I came to
work and she had baked him a pie and the
pie had his name stenciled in the crust.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
And I was excited about it because every day she
would come away. She says, there anything that you could
do for Is there anything specially one?
Speaker 6 (14:42):
I was like, make me a pie.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
She was like, that's pretty simple. I said, well, if
that's so simple, make me a pie and put my
name on the top of the pie.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
That is correct.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
About And I was excited about the pie. Okay, no, no,
I was sure everybody pie.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I didn't actually put money in it when you have
the leading the day and he kept going.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
He was like, because somebody put that pie in the
microwave for three seconds. So as a bunch of people
love Dave Chappelle, he's an evil friend.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
By sage. We got more with Dave Chappelle when we
come back. Don't move. It's the breakfast Club, the.
Speaker 11 (15:26):
Morning Lads, the Sable Laddie, all the single lattice, the
Sable Laddys, all the lattice, the single lattice.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Papa, I'm doing my fall things I decided to.
Speaker 3 (15:41):

Speaker 4 (15:51):
My tail had three goods. Taking that at me.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I feel like when you go.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
To it, stopping here, I want to think, do you
want lacking?
Speaker 11 (16:03):
Then you shot up the pain what bumbo bou what bumpo?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I can sink your turn about the rain on it?
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Then I can think your head about the rain on it.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Then I want to tell you you heard about the pain.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
On it and that block on my lips him?
Speaker 10 (16:26):
Then all my hapstas had it in my dairy hunting
can break him a cup.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I can care less.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
What's a thing I'm needing? Noble marsions? Did I'm antin?
Speaker 11 (16:37):
Don't pay him many attention because you had to turn
on now you call it her, but it really tells
a lack any feel like and then.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
You turn about a ring like think you turn about
the pain on it?
Speaker 11 (16:49):
Stopping here?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I want to do do you want it lacked?
Speaker 11 (16:53):
Then you shot about the brain on what bump buck.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Holding?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Everybody is DJ MG angela yee, Charlomagne to God, we
all the breakfast club.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
We have Dave Chappelle and Donelle Rawlings in the building. Charlemagne.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
When the last time you've been humbled? Dave humbled?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (17:16):
You mean like what professionally or personally?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Both?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Right? Yo?
Speaker 8 (17:20):
Yo?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Man?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Life is humiliating, Yeah for you for everybody.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
You think if I'm walking down the street and the
lady says, you know, can I take a picture and
she don't know how to work a camera and we
all standing in there, but she do that because you
gotta you know, you gotta have empathy. But life is humilly.
Being a parent's humiliating, being a husband's humiliated. All of
it's humiliated.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
The hindsight of twenty twenty was it was everything worth it,
Like everything you went through, like even the spell show experience,
and even walking away from it, was it all worth it?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Hey man? Yeah, I was. I was happy to have
that show, you know, I'm sorry and the way it ended,
but I enjoyed making that show.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
It was it was an experience that very few people
get to have. You miss it, especially with everything going
on and so much material this because I see something
and I say, damn, I misw Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I miss it too, you know, But I think I
don't know if I could do it again though, because
I miss it. But then I remember what it was
like to do it, and it just wasn't It might
be easier now to make it just because of technology.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
And yeah, but the end of that ruined because it.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Won't be the same.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah, stuff that you want to do somebody will do
on YouTube ten times faster and ten times worse.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Right, Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
But you didn't play a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
It was great. Yeah, I worked with a lot of
great people. I was doing the showing at Lanta the
other night and bumped into like some of the guys
from the crew.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
I hadn't seen those guys when I walked up the set.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
It was good to see them. And you know, you
remember people finally, like after it's all said and done,
So you know, I do have bad filds about how
it ended, but I don't have bad films about what
it was. It was a great experience.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
How did Charlie Murphy's passing affect you, because I know
you guys were pretty close.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
It was tough, man, it was it was a reality.
I feel very lucky that I got to know him.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I feel like he's a very large part of the
reason that I got to be successful. Like literally changed
my life just by saying I fought Rick James. Many
times we were like what he fought.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Jesus?
Speaker 11 (19:29):
Whoa? Whoa.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
But it's not like I didn't know you could stay
on the radio. But no, he said he fought Rick
James many times. We tell us his story at lunch
and it literally from then on, it just changed, It
changed our livestalized. Yeah, man, but you know I got
to like meet and work with Rick and the I mean,
(19:55):
you know Charlie, and he was a o G. Like
Charlie's been around the block. You know his brother it
is Eddie Murphy. He's seen the epicenter of like the
fame that we all wanted to acquire. And he had
great stories and he was also real nurturing dude. I
think he gave me great advice. Uh, you know, I
got miss his presence. Man, I'm really I was.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Real sad to you that doing a great job on Power.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Great job he took Donelle's job.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
He definitely took that's when he busted you. And yeah,
but I will say, you.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Know, like you, when other people get stuff away from yourself,
it's hard to celebrate that. But you know, when I
found out that Charlie was doing that role, I realized
that he was probably a perfect person for him. And
then the hindsight as far as with him passing away
or whatever, I just think this is a nice thing.
For people to see him being a part of a
great body of work like that, and he said, and
he did a good job.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Did Charlie. Definitely, y'all think about your own mortality because
I know Donnelle called me one day, Randy, he was like,
y'all just want to tell you man, you know what
I'm saying. You know, people dying and you might die,
so that's gonna tell You'll love you. You're doing a
good job. I'm like, what.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
You know, I will say.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
And I know Dave may have different answers, like when
someone passed away and something, specially when somebody that you
care about, it makes you think about people important in
your life, for the people that you respect. And I
don't know, I was probably you know, in my feelings
that day, but I and it was at a time
when you just dropped your book and I'm saying, like
your transition from not just doing urban stuff, but like
(21:21):
the media run that you get, well, I'll keep it
real all the white folks that you partner up.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I was like, I was like, he's taking it to
the next level.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
And another thing in our community is not too often
that people read books. So the fact that you know
a brother put a book out and he got people
that wouldn't normally, uh, pay attention to that. Like, I
know it's hard to say. And I didn't say no,
homo before I said that I loved you, and I
know that's.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Why it brought and I didn't say Paul's at the end.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
Right.
Speaker 11 (22:00):
Was sick.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
I thought he was like, and that's the one time
that we really appreciate people.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
That's in death.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
And when someone passed away, it makes you think about
so many times in our life. We get to a
point where you say to yourself, I wanted to call
that person just to say hi or just say what's up,
and you don't act on those feelings, and then something
tragical happened and then you're like, oh man, I was
just supposed to call him.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
So that was me and my mom. You know, sometimes
on the tour bus down there, gets drunk and looks
at pictures of his son and cried. I just tell
you that I can believe that that's cute. I called
him doing it.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You haven't met that baby mama, Yeah, of course, Yeah,
of course she's wonderful.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
We vacation together. Yeah, I seen that.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
You guys want the yacht.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yeah, well yeah, well yeah, because I thought it was
a yacht until I saw Puffy.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Just went on.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Puffy turns that we had a boat, that we had
a boat.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You really need to compete with stuff like that, though,
Nah at all. Yeah, I'm I'm really, like, really really
happy right now. And I you know, I appreciate it,
like my kids are safe right now.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I don't know what. Everyone's happy and one's fair and
clean and it's good. Look man, I'm just Yeah. We've
seen you pop out with Chris Rock a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Another legend, another icon.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, he's that's the homie man.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
There's only two of y'all in that space though.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, Chris is there. He's definitely big brother. Though he's like,
he's killing it. I went and saw his act seems
act a few times. One he's doing. He's killing it.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Right now, he's saying, maybe you guys would do a
tour together.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well, we are. We are gonna do two nights together
at Radio City. Will be the first time we've ever
officially headlined the show, a co headline show together, and
I'm very excited about it because.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
This is the first time any comic has ever done
a residency of a month of Radio City Music Hall.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Dave is a real humble doo.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
He's not gonna say, really the spectacle of what's about
to go down, But nobody's ever done a joint where
like the entire month of August were locking everything down.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
We got some of the best.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Show Don't let me get me, don't.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I don't think y'all need no other comedians on those.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
And to be quite honest, to be quite honest, you don't.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
But you know what I'm saying, We got a team.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
I'm not I'm gonna do some of the shows.
Speaker 8 (24:36):

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Charlamagne to ask you, what do you draw the line
when it comes to like a cultural appropriation. What do
you mean white people appropriating like black culture.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Okay, this is a controversial question, and I'm not sure
if the premise. I'm not sure if the premise of
the question is correct.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Kylie and Kendall today superimposed their images on Biggie and
Tupac T shirt and they got t shirt.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Right, Okay, And as a black person, a person from
that culture, you feel like they are just misrespectful, disrespect Yeah. Yeah, man,
that's that's a tough one. Did you go see the
Tupac movie?
Speaker 5 (28:00):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Did you like it?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
I don't think it was as terrible as everybody was saying,
but it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I haven't heard good things and so yesterday it wasn't like.
Speaker 10 (28:10):
It starts before Tupac is born and it ends when
he died. That's a long period of time to cover.
And so many things that happened in Tupac's life, and
he was such a complex person and so many different incidents.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
You ever had a club when Tupac was there?
Speaker 5 (28:25):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Never. It wasn't that much fun really, Terry, Yeah, I
just remember being in party. It just felt like a
lot of darks.
Speaker 9 (28:34):
A guy.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
I liked him, I didn't know him well, but I
felt like culturally that those were darker times.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, absolutely, the guts there.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Right, you know, And I'm not saying this would be controversial.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
I don't even this has nothing to do with the
question that you asked me.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I just thought you got out the question like a
UFC fighter.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
And I've been watching Charlotte, Man, I was ready for you.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
Everyone was like, just ignore him.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
I just you know, you plan to see it to
just get an idea.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
I'm gonna watch it at home, probably, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Like, I don't know, man, the question you're asking, I
think is a very important question. But I'm not sure
how to answer that, you know what I mean, because
at a certain point, I feel like no one's gonna
feel that way more than African American because we create
so much culture and oftentimes just ciphering from us and
(29:35):
as almost all that we ever had, I'm had. We've
done many great things. But you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Absolutely, But but it is American culture too.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Kylie and Kenner like they don't understand what they've happened into.
They don't understand they I don't think they were doing
that maliciously. I just think that they don't. They're never
gonna be a black dudes, they're not gonna see the world.
They if you have some glasses someone could put on
just to see the world, how you saw the world,
it be right terrified. Yeah, you know, I heard the
(30:08):
interview with you.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
I know what you mean. I get it. But that's
a hard question to answer.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Do your kids think you're funny?
Speaker 11 (30:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Yeah, I mean, look, I'm the dad, so there's something
about me that's corny to them. But they but they yeah,
they get it. They know. My kids are teenagers now.
My youngest son is as old as I was when
I started doing its fourteen.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
They started at fourteen.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Yeah, I started really young.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Wow. Thirty years I'll be I'll be forty four this
this summer, Veteran seasoned. Yeah, and it'll be my thirtieth
Anni version.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I'm like, really proud of that made you get on
stage age of fourteen, the fear of death? Well, do
you do you have been thinking about your own mortality?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Well? Yo, we're black dudes in America, so right when
I was in high school, my freshman year of high school,
I talked about on an Access studio six hundred kids
my age got murdered in Washington, DC, you can't be
in an environment like that and that not affected Like, Yo,
you made me want to just do whatever it was
I wanted to do.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
I feel very lucky to get to be forty four, right,
which which you know.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Now I'm more ambitious and I'm looking forward to pay
and have price at the movies. But before that, I
didn't know I was going to live this long, you know.
And I think the fear of not doing what I
wanted to do in life made me do what I
want to do.
Speaker 10 (31:29):
Even in Kevin Hart's book, he talks about doing comedy
because he was just trying to survive too, Like just
being funny is what actually helped him.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Not Yeah, I wonder what makes you believe the stage
can save you?
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Though it absolutely did. Look at guy like Kevin Heart's
mother from Philly. He is the number one selling artist
on tour on Earth from any jump. You know, I'm
very proud that somebody from my genre is at the
top of the food chain's right, and it's somebody I
remember him starting out. It's amazing to see it, and
(32:02):
it's absolutely could say you're like, what made you think
that you're fast talking? And your liking of controversial questions
would take it as far as it had that's true,
and yeah and yeah, and I've never met you, but
you one of the few celebrities I've met in a
long time. Like literally, I feel like I know you

and I've only seen you once. It means you're very
effective at what you do. In my opinion, it means
you're very effective.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
But I still feel like I can get shot because
of my fast talking, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, but God forbid, no, man, you've transcended that. I mean, look,
anything terrible can happen to anybody. But there's some people
that get shot that never get a platform, they never
get to write a book, that never get the I mean,
everybody knows your name. You meet famous people, they already
know who you are. It's amazing, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:52):

Mars Chestnut, lurs Chestnut and think of you. That's the
big deal.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
