Speaker 4 (04:46):
I appreciate y'all, big fan.

Speaker 14 (04:47):
But can I talk to you.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
For a second?

Speaker 14 (04:49):
Go ahead, go ahead, I gotta I want you to
reach out to Swiss and Tim bar Versus from me.
I got a great idea for it, and I just
need you to hear me out. And if you like
the idea, you give them my info and half the
hit me up and then I.

Speaker 7 (05:01):
Tell them what I told you they can hear you.
You're talking to eight million people right now, you say
it right now?

Speaker 14 (05:06):
Yeah, damn all right, nobody's still my idea, Versus needs
to be just like the NFL NBA where it's like
the league and they need to divide it up into
like Eastern Conference, Western Conference, et cetera. And then we
go get all of.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
The biggest artists from each city, like New York.

Speaker 14 (05:21):
Get like a fifty cent and he'll get all of
the up and coming artists that want to But it's
gonna be like the Battle League, you know what I mean.
And then we separated not just with artists, but athletes
as well, so rappers, singers, dancers, boxers, and basketball players
one on one, we find the best in each city
and then have them compete, just like the NFL and

(05:42):
NBA stuff, do you know what I mean? That's how
it needs to be. And then we monetize with ticket sales,
have a platform where people subscribe to see the content,
et cetera. That's how we're gonna make our money. But
that's what Versus needs to be. They don't need to
just be what they do now. There needs to be
like Live battles, people showing up with brand new songs
and seeing who the best is.

Speaker 6 (05:59):
You feel me that?

Speaker 7 (06:00):
Yeah, I like the idea.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
I don't know if I like that for verses though,
I mean, the thing we love about versus is the nostalgia.
The thing we love about verses because they do give
flowers to you know, the o gs and the veterans, right, Like,
that's what we mean, That's what we like about versus.

Speaker 14 (06:13):
We could do both though, ain't no reason we can't
have them.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Both because it's still a versus. Yeah, I get what
you're saying.

Speaker 14 (06:18):
I do like that, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
Like if you, like I said, just if you could
put me on hold so I can give you my
phone number and then you're passing on to them so
I can explain that to them.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
May be real. They heard you, bro, I keep on,
keep on, you're talking.

Speaker 7 (06:34):
You're talking to eight million people.

Speaker 14 (06:36):
Brow how they're gonna hit me up?

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Though? Like?

Speaker 14 (06:38):
How can Swiss and ten reach out to me?

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Though we already stole the ideas? It don't even matter. Hey, yo,
like that, I'm just messing with you. Hold on, I'm
gonna have Eddie to produce and get your email in
case they want to reach out.

Speaker 15 (06:51):
Bro Okay, what all right?

Speaker 3 (06:54):
I mean, at least we got the email. They might
want to reach out. Swiss ain't twisting, Tim ain't no
suckers like that. They might want to say, you know.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
What, we did get that idea from him, or maybe
they thought about that idea already.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Now it's gonna seem a little crazy.

Speaker 7 (07:05):
You always say that when you want to feel somebody out.

Good morning, Jess, good morning, and morning. I'm so excited
I listen to y'all every morning.

Speaker 7 (07:54):
Well, thank you, We appreciate you.

Speaker 5 (07:56):
Well, what I wanted to get off my chest today
was it's nothing bad, nothing bad at all. Just I
want people to be mindful of the fact that it
is flu season, the fact that it is the season
for people to spread illnesses and infections. I'm a nurse
here in Virginia, and I see a lot of preventable
situations in our hospitals that could be prevented by people

(08:20):
just washing their hands, keeping their kids home and they're sick,
just being mindful of the climate and what's going on.
People take care of yourself so we can take care
of each other. That's all I wanted to say.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Well, Raddy just is the flu police up here. She's
the cold police if you have already now, if you
have a flu, if your hands are dirty, not She
ain't even the fluent cold police.

Speaker 7 (08:39):
She just sneezing cough police.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
And cold and COVID. There are symptoms.

Speaker 9 (08:45):
So yes, absolutely, you got a brand new baby.

Speaker 5 (08:48):
You can't be playing out here.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
She's quarantining it right now with the baby period, Yes,
right now.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Ready, let me ask you a question in your personal opinion,
and just asking your personal opinion, what is your thoughts
on the flu shots because some people say take it,
some people say don't.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
What's your what's your personal opinion?

Speaker 5 (09:03):
Just curious, Okay, It just totally depends on a lot
of times people don't believe in the flu shots because
of religious preference. So I will not touch that at
all because if that's your religious preference, I totally understand. However,
for preventative measures, the flu shot is effective. So as
a nerd, I do advocate for the flu shot absolutely.

Speaker 9 (09:25):
Thank you, y'all.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
Have a good morning.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Hello. Who's this?

Speaker 4 (09:29):
My name is Kim calls it from Detroit?

Speaker 3 (09:31):
What up? Death?

Speaker 4 (09:32):
What's going on? Man? So when I want to get
off my chest is uh, well, I've dropped trucks and
my first time in New York was yesterday.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Okay, Why is it's so dirty? Man?

Speaker 7 (09:42):
That's a great question.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Always trash everywhere it is.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Discussing with all that money we spend in taxes and
they not not even want to charge us. They are
already charging us for told we want to charge us
for when we get in the city. What was that
city thing called more? Because justin pricing, I'm with you, bro,
we should look like Dubai with all the money that
we spend in New.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
York, the dirtiest city I've been too so far.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Now, New York is definitely dirty, and you ain't get
to you ain't get to the city. So you on
the Addleboroughs, you in Queens and the Bronx.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
Right, yeah, yep, I drove pretty much through New York.
I'm in Baltimore now.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
But yeah, it's discussing.

Speaker 6 (10:15):
It's insane.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Seems like that. Come, no trash off the highways. It's
just it's nasty. New York has been surviving off reputation
for a long time. To be honest with you, like,
it's not it's not a fly city, it's a Chicago
looks better than New York. Charlotte looked better than New York,
Dallas looks better than New York.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Baltimore looks better than New York.

Speaker 7 (10:32):
I don't know about all that, he asked.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
The brother on the phone in Baltimore.

Speaker 16 (10:36):
Right now, while just a little that one, all right, whatever, I.

Speaker 2 (10:41):

parents on that. I'm just over that sweeping the floor.

Speaker 16 (11:16):
Yeah, I forget well, I say past sweeping the floor.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
But I'm glad to be season four. I'm glad.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Are you feeling I'm feeling great.

Speaker 17 (11:26):
I'm feeling great. I'm just doing TV and I'm doing
a tour. I'm starting my second theater tour called Hot
and Flashy.

Speaker 16 (11:33):
Why is it flashy? What's the because I'm grown? Why
because I'm hiding flash Why you greased up like a coming.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Walking here? Looking like a walking walking here? You look
like a deal don't Why.

Speaker 16 (11:54):
Are you looking like, oh my god, got.

Speaker 7 (11:58):
Breathe up like you.

Speaker 17 (12:02):
I don't do deal thoughs, but keep talking. I don't
need their fake but eyelashes in a wig.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
What makes the show so successful Because it's truthful.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
People can relate to it.

Speaker 17 (12:14):
You know, it's the first time somebody like me ever
being on TV to say what real people are thinking.
You know, we've seen all the moms before who played mama,
who did great jobs, but you always say that ain't
my mom, that ain't how my aunt talked to me.
And I think when they put my big, crazy black
behind on TV, I was able to I gave the
people a voice that never had a voice.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
On TV before. So that's all. And that people come
home and tell me all the time.

Speaker 17 (12:38):
The things that we dig into, you know, we dig
into timeless station, abortion, the convicted, felon, everything that real
people go through in life or know somebody who went
through in life.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
So I think that's why people love the show.

Speaker 7 (12:51):
But it's a comedy.

Speaker 17 (12:52):
Don't you laugh, because I ain't gonna say intil y'all
read your book, so don't lie.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
I ain't read.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
I read my whole.

Speaker 17 (13:07):
Book one time because they paid me. The people dog
my behind you read slow. I was getting paid hourly.
I was gonna take all the time I needed to pay.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Them dous and a's and and I don't care.

Speaker 17 (13:25):
I was getting paid by the hour and I'm taking
At that time, that was the most I ever got
paid by the hour. So you thought I was gonna
read that thing. I didn't even rehearse the usually I
rehearsed to make sure I pronounce the words right.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
I said what you paid me out. They's gonna be
a long week.

Speaker 16 (13:41):
So the fact that you visit all of those traumas
on your show, has it ever been anything like That's
been very emotional for you to film everything.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
It's very emotional dealing with Jordanie Cooper.

Speaker 17 (13:52):
The first season, we was gonna do an episode about
my mama boyfriend touching us and my mama just turning away,
like cause you know predators, and they groomed the family.
You know, they come in, they see what type of
needes you got, and what we needed. We needed a
father figure, we need somebody to help those grocery rent
and that predator came in and he did what he
wanted to do with my sister and me, and when

(14:14):
I got when we told our moms, she just looked
the other way. So, Jordan we wrote a whole episode
in the first season, and this is my first time
ever being on TV.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
I'm like, oh, I don't think I'm ready to visit that.

Speaker 17 (14:24):
So we visited the second season, which broke me all
the way down because I was already dealing with a
lot of trouble from my kids' father, who I was
twelve he was twenty two. Marriage shot me. So we
was telling all those stories. Then you want me to
tell the child less station story on top of it.
I was like, we got to back some of this
up before I have to go to counseling. So we
took that out. We did it in the second season,

(14:44):
which was great.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Jordan said, there's a healing that happened this season. What
do you mean by that? He said, there's a healing
that his exact quotes, there's a healing that's going on
in front of the lens.

Speaker 17 (14:54):
It was I dealt with my mom because my mom
used to say really bad things to me. You know,
I'm lighter skin and my sister's darkest skinned. But to me,
my sister always been way more cute than I was.
My sister had long curly hell, she was just beautiful.
She don't crack now, but.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Jesus, I cracked.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Was beautiful pretty bad, so Jesus.

Speaker 17 (15:30):
So, my mama used to say ugly things to me
because I had acted me really bad, and she would
always talk about how ugly my skin was, and I'm
fifty too, and I still can hear my mom and
my mind saying bad things to me. So I think
that's one of the reason why I worked so hard
in life, is because the things that my mama said
to me. So we did a whole episode where my

(15:51):
mom come back as a ghost and she and she.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Put on me.

Speaker 17 (15:55):
She want me to put on my kids because her
mom put on her. So there in the episode, you
see me break a generation a curse. And at the
end I broke down and I remember fighting and I said, Jordan,
don't push me down. And at the end, I just
broke down crying, and I just remember saying, I hate this.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
Damn. All of that came back up, all of.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
That because you know, I never went to counseling, and
I've been through some stuff.

Speaker 17 (16:17):
So to deal with what I've been through, you know,
And I told somebody this the other day. I said,
my sister dealt with what we went through doing drugs
and alcohol. I dealed it by just shutting the door
on it. Well, if you shut that door on it
one day, that dog gonna open my coup and all
what you had behind that door is going to eventually
flow out. So when I got the Misspass show and
started telling Joy my life, he just keep bringing all

(16:39):
of this stuff out.

Speaker 16 (16:40):
But it is a healing because it's stuff I never
talked about. Oh, I never really dealt with So I
think I healed along with the audience.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
But there was other ways that you like you coped,
like I know you said your sister did drugs. Did
you do anything else?

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Like yeah, I hate look at me, chick Fila was
waiting on me.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
To say, I'm not true.

Speaker 17 (17:00):
Wait, I'm gonna come to your next time, fast, next time.

Speaker 13 (17:04):
Fat.

Speaker 7 (17:05):
No, it's not that is not true.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
I tried on it gave me gold star.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
When did you feel it comfortable where you could talk
about all these stories, because some of these stories you'd
be like.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Damn, you don't know if you want to laugh with

good enough. She always said I was so in my head.
I never saw myself like other people. And my husband

(19:00):
told me, he said, that's why you don't want to
do a lot of things, because I was scared to
get out there. I wanted to make the money, but
I didn't want to be up front. And then when
I got this TV show, it really put me out
there and I don't even know. I was shy, Like

And she would lie and say she was having no organs?
How long? It wasn't that long? You said it was
a decade, and she was close to it was. It
was a long time.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
But I was her first, so you reached each other's first.
So we didn't know what we were doing with explore
each other's body. So I didn't know. And one day
in the argument, she told me.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
What is the point of women lying about that?

Speaker 9 (26:58):
Though?

Speaker 3 (26:58):

to make the guy, you know.

y'all like bitches, so a lot of times, you know,
you really do, not like a man's feelings is hurt
way more, I mean, way quicker than a woman's.

faking it all.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
This time, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
But it made a relationship strong because now you can
figure out what exactly what she likes, what she doesn't like,
and whatever, because you know, like I said, I learned
sex watching poor and you just go and you realize.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
And that's what you think. That's how it is.

Speaker 3 (27:45):

his feelings, and that's mostly what it is. But I've
never lied about that because I needs mine.

Speaker 8 (36:00):
To well, I put him on stage. I'm the first
one to put him on stage. We'll talk about that, uh,
because I put a lot of them on stage. We
have a lot of comics their start. But I really
appreciate that, man, and and don't feel no kind of
way about it. I didn't take it personally, but you know,
it takes a special kind of person to apologize and
stuff like that I thought nothing of because if I

(36:20):
thought anything bad, I wouldn't even be here, you.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Know what I'm saying. But I love you.

Speaker 8 (36:24):
I appreciate you, man. I think you're doing a faculous job.
I met you at the White House.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
We see each other on the road every once in
a while, and it's a pleasure of me.

Speaker 17 (36:33):
You.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Well, you got a new book out right now. Side Show,
Side Show talk about what?

Speaker 10 (36:38):
What?

Speaker 3 (36:38):
What's what? Side Show about? You know the song everybody
parents at the.

Speaker 8 (36:42):
Side Show begin Harry Herds about a sad clown.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Right.

Speaker 8 (36:46):
My job as a professional comedians to go on stage
and make people laugh. And I lost my son about
a year and a half ago. It's been hard because
the bills don't stop coming. I'm still a performer. I
still have to go on stage, and I had to
dig deep and get in some real deep therapy to
get myself together so I can continue as a performer.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
Because if I worked.

Speaker 8 (37:08):
At you know, Amazon, lifting boxes or delivering packages, that's
one thing. But when your job is to make people laugh,
when you're crying on the inside with the trauma that
I experienced, that's what the song side shall talk about.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
See the man.

Speaker 8 (37:23):
With a broken heart, you can see that he is sad.
It hurts so bad. See the girl who collect broken hearts?
Assuming it it's all about a clown in a circus, performing,
but dealing with stuff on the inside.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
I've watched you grieve out loud online, and the only
reason I don't like that I have nothing to do
with how you feel. Yeah, I know how people react. Yeah,
And when you're already dealing with something, when you're already
dealing with trauma, and then you give it to people online,
then they come at you. How does that? How do
you deal with that? Oh no, it didn't bother me, Charlemagne.

Speaker 8 (37:55):
My job was I had to help other people because
the reason I was opening with it. It's a lot
of mothers out there that lost their eighteen year old,
seventeen year old, sixteen year old, fifteen. My son is
thirty two. I have a couple that had lost their
two year old, right, and these are that's some of
the things that I talk.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
About in the book.

Speaker 8 (38:13):
It gives you glimmers of hope and the glimmers of
inspiration even during our traumatic time.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
So my son was.

Speaker 8 (38:20):
Thirty two when this couple sent out here crying at
my book signing, their son was only two.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (38:24):
And I could have lost my son at two, but
God allowed me to have thirty two years. So you
get a little gratitude from that. And it's crazy that
you can get gratitude from something like that, you know,
and you start looking at it's a helpful to The
book is a helpful too for people that's going through
the grief process because it's a lot of people out there,
and my book sign has been packed with people that

(38:45):
have lost their kids.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
How do you still believe? Right, you talk about losing
your father at the age of six, right, and then
you lose your son. How do you just not say,
you know what, there is no higher power? How do
you still.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
Remain focused and still have believe and still have hope,
and still have all of that with going through the
pain that you go.

Speaker 8 (39:01):
You know, I grew up in Birmingham, Man, so you
know I got that old Southern Christian background. I went
to Sunday school every Sunday. So I just have some
some strong beliefs in a close relationship with God. Because
it was nothing and nobody to land on. I was
in an apartment in Dallas, Texas by myself, you know,
when I found out that my son passed, and I

(39:22):
had an hour and a half. I had an hour
to make it to the airport, and I'm packing a
bag and on the phone with my other kids letting
them know what happened. Wow, and trying to get myself
together and preparing myself to lead because my family needed me.
You know, it didn't really hit me until a year later, right,

(39:43):
But at that time, my son has a mother and
a wonderful stepfather, so I had to protect them. I
had to protect my mother, who was really close to
my son because my mother, you know, recovering attic. My
mother had thirty five years clean. Had to protect her
because they had a real special relationship because she could
identify with this struggle. Then I had to protect my

(40:06):
other kids. I had two kids in college getting ready
to graduate college, and my daughter that got shot.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
She was a senior in college getting ready to graduate Bailor.

Speaker 8 (40:15):
And then I had my son graduate in Alabama State
and then my oldest daughter. So just trying to get
them and then come and say, hey, here's what happened.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
Brandon didn't make it.

Speaker 8 (40:26):
I need you to meet me at the house immediately,
just real, calm. I need you to text me, let
me know that you're on your way.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
Text me.

Speaker 8 (40:33):
When just all of that, I had to be came.
I had to be cool. I had to get in
the car with my uncle's who was crying. I had
to turn the radio own R and B station. I
had to turn on Frankie Beverley and Maids to go
from the airport the house. I'm comforting them because it
reminded them of my dad's death. So I'm just a
child man that sat on the front road and watch
my grandparents go through what they went through, and through

(40:55):
my grandfather, I learned how to handle this situation because
that's how my grandfather to handle it as well.

Speaker 20 (41:00):
Losing somebody, especially someone so closeer son, Can it changes you?
Did you ever at first when you were trying to
get to that, Like me, I guess I get through it.

Speaker 21 (41:08):
I don't know if you ever get through it? Were you?

Speaker 20 (41:10):
Were you afraid that when you got back on stage
that first time that, like you just it wouldn't be
the same, Like your ability to kind of push through
and make people laugh wouldn't be the same.

Speaker 8 (41:19):
You think about funny, it don't change you.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Ad when you want something to laugh at, especially in
the trauma.

Speaker 8 (41:25):
Yeah, when your ass hit the stage, man them jokes
come them jokes, like when you get.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Somebody on the front road laughing.

Speaker 8 (41:30):
My first show was in Cleveland at the Horrors Casino,
and I cried from the hotel all the way to
the venue, all the way backstage, blew my nose did
like that, made sure my nose.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Was clean, and walked on stage and got them jokes.

Speaker 8 (41:45):
And cried after I got off stage, and you know,
I was come, but I've been in therapy. I was
getting therapy twice a week, so I was prepared to
go on stage again.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
My son died on a Sunday.

Speaker 8 (41:54):
That Wednesday, I was back on the radio, and they
said take as much time as you need.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
Well, either you lay in the bed and think.

Speaker 8 (42:00):
About all of that, where you get your ass up
and go do your morning show.

Speaker 3 (42:03):
Go do your radio show.

Speaker 8 (42:04):
Because all the mothers in Chicago and in Columbia, and
in Charleston and in Atlanta, all over the country, their
kids died too much. As given much is required, you
can't cancel the show. God put you in this position
and put you in a leadership position, and you have
to leave. And I still went to the Salvation Army
like I do on a regular basis. I fed the

(42:26):
homeless with my son clothes in the car to go
to the funeral home. That was a dark Wednesday. I'll
never forget it. You have to do it, all of
this stuff, and I don't want you to ever forget this.
All of this stuff in it is a test. It's
a test. Our pastor has been teaching us that for years.
God is watching you through your struggles, through your trials
and tribulation, and looking at you seeing how you're gonna

(42:48):
handle this. Are you gonna make it about you? Are
you gonna use this situation to help other people? But
I was still smart enough to go ahead and get
the help that I needed in the process, because I
had to get therapy because because this Trump is a
bad car accident.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
How we got more with Ricky Smiley when we come back,
Dope Move, It's to Breakfast Club the Morning dj MV
just hilarious, Charlamage the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Ricky Smiley, Charlomagne.

Speaker 7 (43:15):
How has it been like?

Speaker 3 (43:16):
You know, because when you write these books, you put
a lot of you know, you put your most vulnerable,
deepest thoughts into these books. Then you got to go
out here and do this. Yep, you gotta have these conversations. Yeah,
how's that been for you? I've gotten used to it, Okay.

Speaker 8 (43:29):
You know, once you know how it is, once you
do one interview, you do another interview, you keep doing interviews.
You just get accustomed to talking about it, and then
you develop some really good talking points that's going to
help other people. Because what people have been telling me
is the feedback that I've been getting this Hey, bruh,
it's been helping me out. You know how many people
walk up to me and said that they lost a
loved one and they can't talk about it. And just

(43:52):
because they hear you on the radio every morning, now
they're coming out to your book sign.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
I have people walking up crying.

Speaker 8 (43:58):
Almost nine of the people that come out of by
the book have suffered a loss and can't talk about
it and do not go to therapy. So I've been
promoting therapy because when you roll your ankle, you don't
pull out.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
A Bible, you go to the doctor.

Speaker 8 (44:12):
The ductness absolutely, the muscle. The brain is a muscle
just like your ankle. Why is it that we black
folks as a stigma that we won't go get help.

Speaker 3 (44:22):
That don't mean that you're crazy.

Speaker 8 (44:24):
You have to get somebody and talk to somebody that's
going to help you process those feelings and emotion because
you can go into depression start affecting other organs in
the bodies. Some people don't make it from their loss.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
They goe.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
You know a lot of times people, you know, we've
been taught as kids you keep the home business in
the house, right. You never really talk about what happens
inside your house. Like you said, that winds up killing you. Absolutely, Depression,
that anxiety, all those facts, all those feelings.

Speaker 8 (44:49):
Every time you cry in do you know that's like
popping the cap off of a pressure cooker.

Speaker 7 (44:53):
You're releasing I cried this morning, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
Man, on it.

Speaker 8 (44:57):
I sat on the side of my hotel bed. I
was having some hen anxiety. I called a good friend
of mine. She answered the phone. When I heard her voice,
I just started crying.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
I just let it out.

Speaker 8 (45:06):
I just cry.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
I just needed to just cry. I felt that.

Speaker 8 (45:09):
Building up yesterday and I just started crying in the
changing of the season. You know that that affects you.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
Do you ever think about just giving away? Just stop it?
You know, like I don't want to do this anymore
with that ever a mine?

Speaker 8 (45:23):
No, man, we got to say people, ma'am listen, some
have to die so others can live. You understand, you know,
no Cross, no crown, bro. We have to go through
what we have to go through, and we have to
talk about it. And I'm just trying to break the
generational curse of number one not talking about it, not
going and getting therapy and getting help, and to talk
about drug addiction. I had a son and a nephew

(45:46):
age thirty two, and a niece. I had a niece,
a son, a nephew. All died of age thirty two
within two years of each other.

Speaker 15 (45:54):
Can you talk a.

Speaker 20 (45:55):
Little bit about that, like just in real time when
they were here dealing with the addiction and trying to
help them through it, and like also wanted them to
get better, but addiction understanding that, like it kind of
takes over where it's not not even just them anymore.

Speaker 21 (46:07):
Like it's kind of it's a big beast.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (46:08):
The only thing I regret I didn't have a good
understanding of the illness because I had a niece and
a nephew that was cool and calm and respectful, but
it didn't affect my son that way.

Speaker 3 (46:20):
You know. My son would would go off about stuff.

Speaker 8 (46:23):
You know, and it damaged our relationship or whatever because
I didn't understand, like, Hey, I'm your dad. You can't
say that to me. You know, I'm driving around looking
for you to fight you in the middle of the street.
You know, I raised you, I cooked food for you. You
know what I'm saying. I wash your clothes, you slept
in the bed when eve when it's thunder light. Don't
say that to me, you know. So I just didn't
have a clear understanding of that.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
But I did everything I could to say to say
this life, would you do anything different as a dad
during any of those times? And reason? You know six,
So I like to that's that's a good question.

Speaker 8 (46:56):
I wasn't tough on him. He was the one that
I caught him. I was tough for my other kids,
like the other kids. Was like, I was just really
really really really tough on them, and he was the
one that I just kind of caught on and did
everything for and took it well because that was my
first born. I just wish that I was tougher. I
know that sounds strange because it sounded like I should
say I should have been easier on him. I was

(47:19):
easy on him. I should have been tougher on him
like I was the other kids.

Speaker 20 (47:24):
And chapter twelve year book, It's Let the Tears Fall,
you said that it took you a year for all
of this to really like hit you. Yeah, what was
that day like when you were like, hmm, I'm feeling
it like that first time?

Speaker 14 (47:36):
Man?

Speaker 3 (47:36):
That one year anniversary.

Speaker 8 (47:38):
A few days before that one year anniversary, Man, it
hit me like he had just died.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
I had just got off the air.

Speaker 8 (47:45):
I was down in South Florida because I didn't want
to be in the house. But that one year anniversary,
I just wanted to go get away, and man, it
hit me, man, and I was I did some crying,
and I think it was a bad mistake for me
to be there by myself. But I just kind of
sat on the couch and just cried pretty much for
a couple of days, like like really cried because the
only difference was I didn't have a casket and some

(48:05):
flowers and some condolences. I had all of that to
keep me distracted when it actually happened. I had to
protect everybody. But that one year came in and it
was like, it was terrible.

Speaker 3 (48:17):
What about the chapter when addiction chases the bloodline? Was
that difficult to write because you know, you got to
go through your whole generational lineage with that.

Speaker 7 (48:24):
Was that a difficult chapter right now?

Speaker 8 (48:26):
It wouldn't It would just be being open and honest.
My dad struggled, My mom struggled. I had wonderful grandparents.
My granddad talked to me every day church, Sunday, school.
You know, hey, here's a trumpet play that, here's some
piano lessons, let's go do that. I did trumpet, little
League football, did it all my grandparents kept me busy
with the discipline and destruction, talked to me every day

(48:47):
so I didn't have to I didn't have those issues.
And then he always talked about how my dad died,
so don't do this. So I just stuck with it,
and to this day, I don't drink of smoke.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
I always wonder how brief impacts people who lost their
parents at a very, very very young age. Does it
hit you late in life? You see somebody out with
their parents and it hits you, like, what is it?
It did when I was when I was a kid.

Speaker 8 (49:10):
But what hurt me about my dad's death was watching
my grandparents cry like that on the front row. I'm
in therapy for that that comes up in therapy. That
that wipes me out. Wow, that wipes me out more
than my son's death. Why I'm my grandmama's baby, like
you understand you from the South, watching my grandparents cry
like that on their front row, Man, I can't get

(49:31):
over it. Even when my grandparents died, the only thing
I could think about. Their castle was in the same
spot my dad's castle. Well, the only thing I could
think about was them crying on that front row. April
the eleventh, nineteen seventy four.

Speaker 3 (49:42):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (49:43):
I will never forget it, man, It just it tears
my soul out of my body. I can deal with
my son's death, but that's that's what I struggled with
more than anything.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (49:52):
And that's why I didn't cry at my son's you know,
because my granddaughter was watching me, and I.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
Don't even want to traumatize her like that. Like that.

Speaker 8 (49:59):
Wo boy, Yeah listening up here talking about it, because.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
Yeah, well, let's talk about something else for a saying
you put on a lot of comedians, Ricky, and I
think that coming from the South, right, I don't think
people realize how big you are sometimes like this, you
know what I'm saying, Like, I don't think they realize
how how much money you got number one, but I
wish rich you are and just how big you are.
And I think it's it's it's almost a stigma with
comedians from the South, like they don't get the respect
that they deserve.

Speaker 8 (50:25):
I think I just do it for the love of
the art. Charlemagne and me. I remember cussing d Ray
Davis out snatching a drink out of his hand because
he was too young.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
To be drinking. Hey give me that.

Speaker 14 (50:36):
You know.

Speaker 8 (50:36):
I had a little comedy club back in Birmingham, Farcolombastone,
so I would have like d Ray, Corey Holkom, Cory
Hoakan was like, hey man, I ain't never been outside
of Chicago.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
I'm like, okay, cool, let's go on the road. You know.
I would take those guys on the road.

Speaker 8 (50:48):
Corey hop them, d Ray Davis, a lot of them,
man that that uh tiler.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
Some of them have passed away. Uh.

Speaker 8 (50:55):
You know, I would just take them on the road
and help them, because that's what Steve did for me.
You know, nobody they have to. Don't nobody have the food.
You know what I'm saying. Some people can just ignore you.
Steve was one of those guys, man that was helping
in training coming down I started November thirteenth, nineteen eighty nine.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
Wow, that's the first time I went on stage. I
met Steve before he did show time and the Apollo.

Speaker 7 (51:17):
Steve's annoying.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
Man, Oh my god. Now I don'tkay with nobody.

Speaker 8 (51:20):
You know, After the show he said, follow up, he said,
following this car right here. I followed him back to
the hotel room. I sat on the edge of the
bed and took a little notepad in the pencil and
he lectured me for about two hours. But that was
something that was life changing.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
I will move. We got more with Ricky Smiley when
we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Good Morning, owning everybody at CJ and d Jess, Hilarius, Charlamagne,
the guy we are the Breakfast Club Lawn the roaster
was filling in for Jess and we're still kicking in
with Ricky Smiley.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
Lauren.

Speaker 20 (51:47):
Now you were talking about Steve Harvey and how he
gave you opportunities.

Speaker 21 (51:50):
I want to know who do you do that for that?

Speaker 20 (51:52):
Because you talk a lot about people that you mentoring
and you helped, but like, who's somebody that you do
that for that, like we might not know about that
might have started in your clubs or just unknown. And
now is like taking over comedy wise.

Speaker 8 (52:03):
Oh man, little Duvau with somebody that I that I
have a real good relationship with that I was doing
some you know, mentorship because remember I was the host
of Comedy View in two thousand.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
US with a lot of people mentored just by being
on that show, right right, That's what that's what eighty five.

Speaker 8 (52:19):
They told me so that I'm tripping, like like Carlos
Miller was like, bruh, I met you when I was
fourteen years old.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
You was in a hotel. I got excited.

Speaker 8 (52:28):
I'm hearing these stories and stuff. Man, not realizing the
impact on comedy because I'm gonna be et Monday through Saturday.
Like when when Comic View really blew up, it was
in Atlanta, and then I host it again Charlotmagne in
two thousand and four, and then the year after two
thousand and two thousand and one, I had my own
little TV show the way we do it use first time,
you know, And I was doing all these characters and

(52:49):
all these voices and all this kind of stuff. So
when comics needed help and needed mentorship, I would always,
you know, hey, dress nice, hey, stop cursing just that
cursed word. Make that joke funny. Are you cursing just
to be cursing? That's the real thing. I just had
that conversation with a coming. I said, hey, man, you
curse too much. The cursing is not making the joke funnier.

(53:12):
But if the curse word is a part of the punchline,
then use it. I said, because it's like I give
the onion example. Like it like you eat an onion,
it's nasty, But if you take it and chop it
up in sauteed and put some flour on it, and
you're still eat the onion, but you can't taste it.
It's just an analogy that I use with comics, and
I make them redo the joke, and they say, damn,

(53:32):
you did the same joke and got the same lab, got.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
A bigger lab because people are not offended.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
Now, there was a rumor that in your contract it
said that you had to wear a dress.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
Oh man, I don't pay that stuff.

Speaker 7 (53:44):
God damn.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
Onion put so so.

Speaker 8 (53:53):
I then I started doing comedy eighty nine. Man, you
think there's a contract somewhere, I'm just messing.

Speaker 3 (54:01):
I do that. That didn't bother me. What bothered me
was when people believed it.

Speaker 20 (54:06):
Oh yeah, they did, because it's always been that thing
about the wear of the dress. To not wear the
dress to it's comedy.

Speaker 8 (54:12):
Listen, it's comedy. I grew up watching Flip Wilson. Flip
Wilson is the greatest of all time, and right when
you landing at Flip Wilson, he turned around to do Gerald.
Me and my im wanna sit down and watch that
with my grandmother. My characters came, man, I was doing
prank phone.

Speaker 3 (54:29):
Calls on the radio.

Speaker 8 (54:30):
I was doing Bernie Jenkins, and whoever would have thought
a character that you do on the radio calling funeral
homes and all this stuff turned into a character and
somebody asked you to play the character in a movie.

Speaker 3 (54:41):
You know, it's funny that all that stuff is taboo now.
You feel like he was clearing the record on because
I think he or whether that he was supposed to
play a role.

Speaker 8 (54:49):
You said, Well, what I did when I went out there,
I auditioned for that part. And that's what I really
auditioned for. I didn't audition for the Santa Claus, if
I'm not mistaken. The Santa Claus role was appro sposed
to be for what's his name he played in the
First Friday, the comedian that passed away Johnson?

Speaker 3 (55:07):
I think A J. Johnson was supposed to play and
this is.

Speaker 8 (55:10):
What I heard or whatever, and they put me in
that role because at that time I was on beet
and stuff like that. But I did audition for it.
That's what I went out there and read for my
manager at the time, came on the air, cleared that up.

Speaker 7 (55:24):
But q Q class Fighter too.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
You said that you did audition for money, Mike, but
when they saw how you moved, they thought you'd be
better for Santa Claus exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I
don't have no have no beef. I love everybody.

Speaker 8 (55:36):
If there is an opportunity to resolve the rap beef
and stuff with the rappers getting killed, I don't want
comedy to ever come to that. You know, that's not
what I do. That's not how I was raised. You know,
we're from the South and we just don't.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
We don't. We don't do that.

Speaker 7 (55:51):
You what do you love more? Standable radio? Oh?

Speaker 8 (55:53):
Oh god, damn, that's a good question. Radio don't give
you butterflies. Radio is just sitting here like right now.
I'm comfortable, it's cool or whatever. Stand up gives you
a little bit of anxiety because you got to perform.
You got to go out there. People paid money to
see you perform. But my stand up is being great.
I'm I'm probably funnier than I ever being. I got

(56:15):
a special coming out. We in negotiation with Kevin Hart
right now to release a comedy special. Oh yeah, I
haven't did done a comedy special in like twelve years.
But it's funny as hell. It looks good. It's gonna
be funny. It's gonna be all over the place.

Speaker 21 (56:28):
Recently shot stuff.

Speaker 8 (56:30):
Yeah, I just recently shot it.

Speaker 21 (56:31):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (56:31):
Yeah, I paid for it myself and I just went
on stage and killed the ass.

Speaker 3 (56:35):
So I'm really excited about that.

Speaker 21 (56:37):
And what made you? I mean, Kevin Hart's Kevin Hart.

Speaker 20 (56:40):
But a lot of people go to Netflix too, Like,
how did you decide where you were gonna who was
gonna house it?

Speaker 8 (56:43):
Well, we're gonna, We're gonna see we in the negotiation
now because I just did an interview with Kevin Hart
and he asked me about the like I just shot one.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
I said, you wanna you want to present it?

Speaker 21 (56:52):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (56:52):
So I started starting that. Gosh yeah, yeah, he's a
good friend of mine. I absolutely love him. Great dude,
A great dude, keV and man, Jamie Fox, all of
them have been good to me my whole career. I
didn't I didn't know Eddie Murphy was a fan. That
I met Eddie Murphy at his house or whatever, went
over there one day. I had a meeting with Tracy Edmonds,

(57:14):
I think they were dating at the time, and she said,
ed play your prank phone calls the line.

Speaker 3 (57:17):
I was like, you lying? You are you serious?

Speaker 8 (57:21):
And I ended up going over there and there's some
comments over there and we had barbecue, chicken, collar greens, cornbread,
macaroni and cheese. It was like we had some real soap.
And that was my first time to meeting Eddie Murphy. Man,
that was that was a pleasure. So that when you
get to do stuff like that. And I'm on tour
with Mark Lawrence right now, so that's my big brother.

Speaker 3 (57:40):
So the funny thing is you talk like you not
wanted you not wanted them you in a conversation.

Speaker 8 (57:47):
I'm just just humble, man. I'm still like I kind
of still feel like I'm kind of like just still
young and in the game because I feel young.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
And in the game and I know I'm a little.

Speaker 8 (57:57):
Older and stuff and trying to coach younger comics and uh,
I just kind of sit back and not try to.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
Do too much.

Speaker 8 (58:04):
But I just try to make sure when I do
do something that is special and that is awesome and
that is funny. And my charaoke nights sell out faster
than my comedy shows. My co host has down syndrome,
and what my co host, Big Chris has down syndrome
and he's the funniest damn person.

Speaker 7 (58:20):
If you look at my huh, you can see no

Night Chris took me to the cemetery. I think you
have a cousin and died.

Speaker 21 (58:35):
He took you to the cemetery.

Speaker 8 (58:37):
Somebody had died, and uh, we was at the wrong grade.

Speaker 3 (58:41):
But I just let him, let him.

Speaker 8 (58:43):
I didn't want to tell him that he was at
at Paul Bell Bryant Gray, so I had to get
him back to the car, took me, got got him
something to eat, and took him home.

Speaker 6 (58:56):

Speaker 21 (59:18):
You surprised, right?

Speaker 20 (59:20):
Oh yeah, M I don't mean thirty two.

Speaker 21 (59:26):
Not you sit back there.

Speaker 3 (59:33):
Right now, and it's the breakfast club. Good morning. The
craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all
of Flourida.

Speaker 7 (59:41):
Yes, you are a donkey.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
The Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason.

Speaker 21 (59:48):
It gave him too much money.

Speaker 15 (59:49):
Florida man is arrested after defining say he rigged the
door to his home in an attempt to electro hit
his pregnant whites.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
Police arrested in Orlando.

Speaker 8 (59:55):
Man.

Speaker 21 (59:56):
We're talking at from me though.

Speaker 7 (59:57):
The breakfast club.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
Bitch. Donkey other day with Charalam hain't a guy. I
don't know why y'all keep it letting here. Get y'all
like this, No duvall, y'all do it to yourself. Okay,
Donkey today goes to a Florida man named Kanye Eddra
Ziz Medley. Okay. He is twenty years old and hell's
from Claire Water, Florida. What does your uncle Shawla always
say about the great state of Florida. The craziest people
in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida,

(01:00:20):
and today is no exceptions. See this young man, Kanye
was arrested for domestic battery, a misdemeanor, and booked into
the County jail. Okay. According to police reports, he attacked
his sister during a domestic class. Now you know, we
don't condone any violence against women, and attacking your sister's
complete nonsense. If you can't have a healthy conversation with
a sibling to work out your differences, then you probably

(01:00:41):
can't have a healthy conversation with anyone. But this case
is slightly different because Kanye didn't attack his sister with
his hands. Nah. Kanye decided to treat his sister the
way scissors fans treated her in Australia, and he decided
to just throw something at it. Now, just if I
told you this man was twenty years old, his name
was Kanye, but it's ok h A and y E.

(01:01:03):
He's black, and he decided to throw a food item
in his system and the food item hit his sister
in the back of the head, and that's why he
got arrested. If I told you to guess what food
item he threw, do you think you could do it?
I'm gonna give you multiple choice, Okay, Okay? Was it
a sushi b meat loaf, see fried chicken or d
tune the tatar?

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
Oh my fried chicken?

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
Why why why would you just assume it's fried chicken?

Speaker 16 (01:01:30):
Because if it's like fresh out the grease and he
threw it, some of that god grease is gonna slide
down her neck, That'll be the only way that I
feel like you would be arrested.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
Okay, what Red?

Speaker 7 (01:01:41):
If I did this stick to you, Red?

Speaker 3 (01:01:43):
If I give you these same choices, Red, Puerto Rican,
I say, Red, he's black, he's twenty years old, okay,
and he threw a food item of the system. If
I gave you those same multiple choice questions, what would
you guess? Just already guess fried chicken? Is it a sushi?
B meat loaf?

Speaker 7 (01:01:59):
Ce fried chicken?

Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
D he tune the ta ta yep. I'm gonna go
with the fresh five chicken.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
So all right now, don't be trying to gain no points.

Speaker 18 (01:02:06):
Now why read why why.

Speaker 20 (01:02:19):
All?

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
I'm saying it's not a stereotype if it's true, Okay,
Not only do black people love fried chicken.

Speaker 7 (01:02:24):
Everybody lives fried chicken.

Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
And historically we love fried chicken because it was the
only live stock slaves were allowed to keep chickens wore.
Chickens were the only livestock the enslaves were allowed to keep,
and after emancipation, women known as a way to carriers
would sell trays of fried chicken and biscuits to travelers
at train stations.

Speaker 7 (01:02:42):
Okay, the only.

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
Reason fried chicken became a negative stereotype was because in
nineteen fifteen, a man named D. W. Griffith used a
film called Brother of the Nation to show a bunch
of black elected officials being unruly, drinking liquor, eating fried
chicken with their bad feet kicked up on the death
just acting like savages. And the whole point of that scene,
the message to the audience was to show the alleged

(01:03:04):
dangers of letting black people vote. This is not a
YouTube conspiracy. This is historical fact. Do your own Googles
and you will see. Now, the reason Kanye is getting
donky today is because he told police that The motive
for him using poultry aps projectiles is because he said
he had not eaten and did not want the piece
of chicken the victim offered him, so he became upset.

(01:03:24):
Now let's do the math here. The man claimed to
be hungry, said he had not eaten. So someone offers
you food and you say you don't want the piece
of food that they offered, wouldn't that piss you off?

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
Absolutely?

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
He looky. He didn't get something thrown at him. He's ungrateful,
he's un appreciative, he's unthankful. He's a thankless human. Vegas
cannot be choosers. And I can't say that you was begging.
But if you starving, one of the most incredible things
a person can offer you is a piece of chicken.
Now Here to elaborate on the goodness of fried chicken
when you are hungry is the president of the Fat
Lives Matter Committee, Big Mac. I want y'all start playing

(01:04:01):
Wobble Wobble whenever Big Mac coming to Mac talk to
me about the goodness of good people. This is a
sad day.

Speaker 16 (01:04:08):
As the president of the Fat Lives Matter Committee and
a member of the Gang and the Big Back Brigade,
it hurts to see one of your your members that
fallen off track talk to me.

Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
This is just as bad as disrepecting the flag.

Speaker 16 (01:04:20):
You don't throw no fried chicken, not even just as
a fat person, as a black person.

Speaker 3 (01:04:25):
This breaks my heart. That's like saying I don't need lotion,
and you clearly ashy. It just don't make no sense.
And then when somebody give you something, you know how
we get the extra on our hands. Ye took too much.
There you go. You have to nerve to say no,
whing you ash Come on, now, it's just it's sad
to see.

Speaker 16 (01:04:42):
And from the Book of Lizzle, you know what they
say is don't bite the hand that feeds you. If
you're hungry and you asking for food, somebody giving you food. Now,
here's my thing about that. Looking at Devil's Advocate, I
know she does not The Devil's advocate.

Speaker 3 (01:04:58):
Side of it is, I asked for food. Huh, you
gave me chicken.

Speaker 15 (01:05:03):
Okay.

Speaker 16 (01:05:04):
Growing up, the number one rule was don't eat the
big piece of chicken.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
Okay. Now maybe it wasn't the big piece of chicken.
Maybe it was a little sigh.

Speaker 7 (01:05:12):
But no, no.

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
No, no no. You only get the big piece of chicken
if you are to provide her. That's why the daddy
historically got the big piece of Clearly he was the provider.
He treated his sister like it was his girl.

Speaker 16 (01:05:23):
So clearly they got some things going on in that
house and you've seen the picture of him little off.

Speaker 3 (01:05:26):
If he paid for the meat in the house, I
totally understand.

Speaker 7 (01:05:29):
If he ain't paid for the poetry. No, you're gonna eat.

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
What I get. Kanye's are a little bit off, So
this is not far true. You know what, Matthew ain't
wrong when you're right. Please give Kanye Medley the sweet
sounds of the Hamiltons. You oh they oh the d ye.

(01:05:58):
You know we're not about to offer you no fried chicken.

Speaker 16 (01:06:00):
You know in the Book of Corinthians it says you
be tripping if you're throwing chicken.

Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
Nobody say I know you not read the Bible at all.
It's not that might be in the Book of Clarence,
I know, even the Last Supper. But they were beefing
and they ain't throwing no chicken, So I know it's true.
Come on that that is true. That was Donkey of
the Day to day The Breakfast clubs.

Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
J n V Jess hilarious charlamage the guy. We are
to breakfast club Justice on maternity leaves along the roses
filling in and we got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed,
bladies and gentlemen, we have Damon Wayne's junior.

Speaker 15 (01:06:35):
Welcome, Thank you boss, Thank you man.

No, I don't know Illuminati. Yeah, no, man, how you
get there? Had to earn my spot?

Speaker 3 (01:06:55):
You know what I'm saying, y'all, y'all been successful for
so long?

Speaker 15 (01:06:58):
Oh so success, it takes it, you know. Yeah, you
kind of just walk in at this point. But you know,
I'm a conspiracy theorist, so yeah, I don't really Illuminati.

Speaker 20 (01:07:10):
I thought the conspiracy theory, the conspiracy theories did like
the whole Illuminati.

Speaker 21 (01:07:15):
Isn't that a conspiracy?

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
What illuminati?

Speaker 15 (01:07:18):
Illuminati is a conspiracy? I don't attach myself to that.

Speaker 21 (01:07:23):
Yeah, conspiracy theories. I'm like that. That's what y'all need.

Speaker 15 (01:07:28):
You know. I'll be on I'll be on YouTube. I'll
be looking at.

Speaker 3 (01:07:30):
What is the conspiracies about the Wayne's brothers. Have the
Wayne's family been so successful for so long?

Speaker 15 (01:07:36):
I don't know if there's a conspiracy. I think it's
just family working together, you know. I feel like that's
what we all should be doing. Absolutely, you know what
I mean. Like, I feel like black people learn best
by example, and so you have a bunch of examples
and you just copy on.

Speaker 3 (01:07:51):
Did you study every member of your family?

Speaker 6 (01:07:53):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:07:53):
Did you watch everything Keenan was in? Did you watch
everything your dad was in? You watch everything.

Speaker 7 (01:07:57):
Marlin was in?

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
Like I'm talking since you was a child, like study
everything that they did.

Speaker 15 (01:08:01):
I mean, I watched this stuff that I like. There
was ones I skipped.

Speaker 3 (01:08:09):
What did you skip?

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
Glimmer Man?

Speaker 3 (01:08:12):
I don't remember remember the glimmer Man.

Speaker 15 (01:08:14):
My dad, uncle King did a movie with Steven Sagne
glimmer Man.

Speaker 3 (01:08:18):
Is that what is called?

Speaker 7 (01:08:20):
Remember that that black Man?

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
No?

Speaker 15 (01:08:24):
I watched black Man because I was in it.

Speaker 3 (01:08:26):
Glimmer Man. I don't even know what you're talking about
the glimmer Man, And I don't remember this. I definitely
remember glimmer Man. Ny I missed that one? Yeah? Man,
Yeah people did. Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:08:38):
I like the comedies. Yeah, I like Don't be a Man.
This is one of my favorite classic love Pain classic
movie with Jada Pinkett, Oh.

Speaker 15 (01:08:50):
Shame, So I love them. Those look like my classics
and Black Man because I was who the every day,
working class Wings, every day working every day. We got
a bunch of working class Wings. We got a big
ass family. So there's like a lot of people that
are just as funny as everybody, but they just don't
feel like going through the Hollywood.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
But do they just work? Do they work on the
set or do they have like we have some that
work on the set.

Speaker 15 (01:09:12):
You know, we got love it. Yeah, we got uncle
Seawan's right, Kimun.

Speaker 3 (01:09:17):
Yeah, how do you know?

Speaker 11 (01:09:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:09:23):
This guy he lived here.

Speaker 15 (01:09:25):
You know, my I got My daughter works on the set.
She's a standing for essence Adkins character.

Speaker 4 (01:09:30):
Wow.

Speaker 15 (01:09:31):
And she'd be writing on the show too. She's great. Yeah,
she's dope.

Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
We got to talk about the pressures of being a WAMS,
I mean, because is the pressure on Pop's uncle family cousins, Like, yeah,
is there any pressure?

Speaker 15 (01:09:42):
No, I don't feel like uh, I don't feel like
there's pressure. I mean maybe in the beginning, in the beginning,
it was like I used to have an aliens when
I went on stage, Kyle Green, really yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:09:52):
And no one guessed it.

Speaker 15 (01:09:53):
You look like you look like like the middle of
my punch lies back.

Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
You look just like your damn daddy and.

Speaker 15 (01:10:02):
So I had to change it just to Damon, you know,
But really I was just trying to get my bearings,
you know, trying to get on stage and not be
like to the stage Damon Wayne's son, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:10:11):
So that's why have you never got something? Because you
a Wayne, like they was like a part of the family.

Speaker 15 (01:10:16):
Now maybe I don't know, they don't. You know, that's
all that behind the scenes stuff. But you know they
let you in. They'll let you in just because they
want to see you, you know, be like, oh, David
Walliams when I first started. So I got in some
rooms and shout out to my family for making it
easier for me. You know, a lot of people they
frowned on the NEPO baby thing. I think it's great.

(01:10:37):
I think it's like I don't either. I mean, I
feel like it's a business. This is a business, just
like any other business. If it's a you know, a
car manufacturer, and then you pass it down to his son,
stuff like that. It's just that's what it is.

Speaker 3 (01:10:49):
I think what y'all done a phenomenal. I was phenomen
I was driving on the West Side yesterday and I
saw the digital billboard for Papa's house and.

Speaker 15 (01:10:54):
They got a billboard out there.

Speaker 7 (01:10:55):
Yeah, it was you and your pops. And I was
just like man number one.

Speaker 15 (01:10:58):
O G damon Wayne for a long, long long that man,
that man is a killer.

Speaker 3 (01:11:03):
And it's nothing cooler than being able to do what
you love to do with your son. Like everybody, we
love what bron and Ronnie doing him to give it
up for y'all too.

Speaker 15 (01:11:11):
Yeah, man, I mean I'm happy.

Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
Man.

Speaker 15 (01:11:13):
We've had a really good time so far. We shot
like eleven already and you know, it finally came out
and I'm just hoping, you know, people keep watching and
seeing because it gets funnier and funnier.

Speaker 6 (01:11:26):
You know.

Speaker 15 (01:11:26):
The pilot is a good It sets the stage, sets
the characters. But we had a lot of suits. You know,
they were like kind of like making sure that we
did with what they wanted us to do. And then
as time went on, they've let us spread our wings
and now we get to just be ridiculous and funny
and heartfelt, and you know, I love it. I love
seeing my dad every damn day. Well what is Papa's

(01:11:47):
House about?

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
For people that don't know, Ye, Yeah, so Papa's House
is basically about a papa who's a popular morning radio
DJ and.

Speaker 3 (01:11:55):
You really yeah a little bit, yeah a little bit.

Speaker 15 (01:11:57):
And he is a he lives alone, he's happily divorced.
He basically lives his dream of solitude until his son,
who's like an immature, needy guy, moves in next door
to him with his wife and his two kids and
just kind of turns papa's life upside down. And that's
basically the long and short of it. We were toying
with the idea of calling it Raising Damon because it's like,

(01:12:18):
you know, you think it's him raising me, but then
it you kind of see that Papa needs him raising too.

Speaker 3 (01:12:23):
You know.

Speaker 15 (01:12:24):
It's a lot of old school versus new school views.
I think it's really cool. My goal for the show
is to bring back black comedies. Had I known that,
you know, the nineties, in the early two thousands, like
we're never going to be again, you know, like there
were so many options. We had fresh Prince of bel Air,
living single, We have so many options on so many

(01:12:47):
different channels. And had I known that we're going to
have like nothing for like, you know, over a decade,
I would have appreciated it more, you know, family matters.

Speaker 3 (01:12:55):
Nobody can explain to me why that went away, because
it's not like all those shows with super successful with this.

Speaker 7 (01:13:01):
So what happened in Hollywood that they.

Speaker 3 (01:13:02):
Just flipped this what you said, we don't want no
more of this, let'sten through reality television?

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 15 (01:13:06):
I feel like they always use black people to kind
of build up the platforms and then just do away
with them. You know, you're you know, the living single
Friends thing, the UPN remember UPN. They use all them shows,
Jamie Fox Show to the Waynes Brothers. Come on now,
they had all these damn shows.

Speaker 3 (01:13:25):
Your pop, your pop show to my wife and kids.

Speaker 15 (01:13:27):
My wife and kids. I didn't want to say that because.

Speaker 3 (01:13:33):
That was that. Yeah, I love my wife and kids.

Speaker 15 (01:13:37):
But like they had some we had so many shows,
and I feel like, now what we have we have abbot,
we have the neighborhood. Is there anything else?

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
You know there was there was a resurgence, but a
lot of them grown oh yeah black, yeah, growing up
insecure right Atlanta?

Speaker 15 (01:13:54):
Insecure was great. I'm talking about like now like they
don't ever Yeah, like the sitcoms like Network Tea, I
feel like it's you know it's far and few between,
and I just hope that, you know, maybe the show
gets popular enough to be like, oh, let's bring more
of those, you know what I mean? I love it
because I feel like people need to see black people
enjoying themselves, black people making each other laugh, black people

(01:14:15):
making the world laugh.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
We got more with Damon Wayne's Junior when we come back,
don't Move.

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning.

Speaker 6 (01:14:21):
Boring everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
We are the Breakfast Club, long and Rosa feeling in
for Jess. We're still kicking it with Damon Wayne's junior.

Speaker 20 (01:14:28):
Lauren, how much of this show is just improv off
the script because I know it's based on like you
guys are really about to move next door to each
other or something at one point.

Speaker 3 (01:14:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:14:35):
Yeah, it's a lot of it's improv you know, but
we we have a script, but we definitely do whatever
we want because you know, it's my dad's show and
he'll just let people play and so we having fun.
You know, I like, I like to improvise, but you know,
there's certain characters that like to just do the script,
and they're fine doing the script, but everybody's having fun.

Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
Are you good at taking notes or both. Are you
and your dad good at taking notes? Me?

Speaker 15 (01:14:59):
Yeah, I'll take no talk. I mean I take I
like constructive criticism. I mean my dad, that's how he
raised me. You know, this dude is the most brutal
critic of all time. I did a years ago. I
did def comedy jam and I got standing ovation. Like
I was nervous as hell, I got standing ovation. I
did really well. I get off stage. He comes up
to me, he goes, anythink you did?

Speaker 3 (01:15:19):
Son?

Speaker 15 (01:15:19):
And I go, uh, I don't know, like eight nine,
he's like seven and a half. And he just walks off.

Speaker 2 (01:15:28):
There was no context, no nothing, no notes, no notes,
Just do better. You know, how do you feel with
your dad doing stand up? And you know he would
talk about you guys and stand up and of course
he talks about you, you know, masturbating the house.

Speaker 3 (01:15:43):
At that time, that question.

Speaker 8 (01:15:47):
You lit up.

Speaker 3 (01:15:48):
Yeah, boys got louder. How was that for you as
a kid when your dad used to tell them stories?

Speaker 15 (01:15:54):
That one specifically was embarrassing because I remember one time
I was about to hook up with this girl and
she was like, wait a minute, are you the guy
that does the thing with spaghetti? And I was just
like what And then she plays me a clip of
the frigging video of him just you know, talking about
me going spaghetti again. I'll be right back, and you

(01:16:16):
know I didn't get any that day, so yeah, it
messed me up.

Speaker 3 (01:16:20):
Did you not get any? Because she wanted you to
do the spaghetti trick right then and there, and he
was like no, I'm like, you can do this spaghetti trick. Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:16:26):
No, she just she just wanted to laugh at She
just laughed. It was very embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (01:16:31):
Damn. Yeah. Do you think you have an appreciation for
history being that you're surrounded by it? I mean you're
making your own right, but you're always I mean your
whole life. I'm sure Eddie Murphy or sending you a
hall Robert Townland Eyore just there. So you have a
his appreciation sport because I bear with me, I couldn't
shut it up. I'd be asking a million questions. Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:16:51):
My dad kind of instilled in me not bothering famously,
Like I see them and I give them a respect,
but I'm also like, you know, you do your thing.
I don't want to ask you the question that I
know thousands of people asked you, Like I see Eddie,
and I just like I'm in all. But I'm also
not going to like show him that I'm in all,
you know, So I don't really I don't like bothering

(01:17:12):
famous people. But we did used to have a lot
of fun.

Speaker 14 (01:17:14):
You know.

Speaker 15 (01:17:15):
My dad said that, you know when when I was
a kid, that Eddie used to invite him and his
family on their little yacht parties. And my dad would
have to go on there with his you know, his
wife and me as a kid. I was like two
years old, maybe three, and and Eddie would be sitting
there like, man, this is this is nice? Man like
looking at my family, like see this is what I want.
I want this, I'm gonna go, and like he'd leave,

(01:17:37):
and my dad would just be on the boat by
himself with his family, and there'd be like a bunch
of girls there and stuff like that, a bunch of celebrities,
and it was really cool, you know. And I remember
one time, well, my dad told me this, Emmanuel Lewis,
you know Manuel Lewis, Yes, a webster, he was Lewis, Yes,
So he was on the boat right one time, and

(01:18:00):
uh and he was like dress fly. He had a
suit on, had a watch.

Speaker 3 (01:18:03):
And at dude, watch be a little dude.

Speaker 15 (01:18:06):
And I, as a baby, was confused because.

Speaker 3 (01:18:09):
I'm like, you thought he was a big baby. I
thought he was a big baby.

Speaker 15 (01:18:11):
I'm like, why how you knowing them big words? Why
how you who gave you a watch? You know, I'm
like following him around the whole the whole yacht, trying to,
you know, see what's up with him? You know, just
like eyeing a kid on the boat who gave me
them shoes? You know, well your dip brat.

Speaker 3 (01:18:29):
Remember I was to no, he just.

Speaker 15 (01:18:31):
Told me was walking around following him everywhere. He was
like come on, man, he was like trying to shoot
me away, Like.

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
Man, his naptime.

Speaker 20 (01:18:41):
So what is the you guys always keep Essence Atkins books.
I know she's in Papa's house. She plays doctor Ivy Green.
What's what's the chemistry with her in the Wayne's family? Like,
can you talk a bit about that? And a decision
to bring her on this show?

Speaker 3 (01:18:53):
Right?

Speaker 15 (01:18:54):
Well, first of all, Essence Adkins keeps herself booked like
that woman is a phenomenal comedic actress, phenomen no actress period.
But she's also like really funny and initially my dad
didn't want her to be on the show because Uncle
MoMA was like, yo, you gotta put it home. You know,
she's really funny. I don't know what you're doing, you know,
And my dad was like kind of you know, like no,

(01:19:15):
he was she was on your show. I don't want
to have that on my show, like leave it alone.
And then finally he you know, he was like, come
in and read. And she went in and like from
the moment she walked in the door, she was killing us,
like just so funny. Before she even said a word
of the audition, she came in, killed it, killed it,
left and she was the first person up too, so

(01:19:36):
everybody yet like she just sucked all the energy out
the room and there was just like no one was
gonna do or top that. So, you know, so Essence
keeps herself book like she's just phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
Now you also see the change of comedy right because
you've seen everything your family is done right from blank
Man to Living Color, and you think comedy can go
back there without people getting insulted about getting offended taking
things personal. I mean I don't think so.

Speaker 15 (01:20:01):
I mean I feel like, man, this show kind of man,
but this blank Man offensive though I feel like I
feel like blank Man was like pretty chill.

Speaker 3 (01:20:09):
I don't remember. I have to go back and watch
it again because what I because what we didn't think
was offensive. Now when you back, like, oh yeah, that
would pody. I missed those shows.

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
I missed the colored shows and those shows that pushed
the line and pushed the edge.

Speaker 15 (01:20:23):
You know, I blame Judd appetite.

Speaker 7 (01:20:29):
I'm always down to blame the white man.

Speaker 15 (01:20:31):
So I mean, this is a conspiracy theory, but I
don't think he did it intentionally. But I feel like
it started with super Bad, Like super Bad came out, classic,
super funny, and then I feel like after that it
was just no more black stuff, no more black movies.
Like it was just like, you know, they were like
we got up from here, and then they did all

(01:20:51):
their you know that it was like Jewish comedies like
starring Jewish people, Jewish young guys, which were really funny,
Like I love forty year old version, I love Bridesmaids,
I love of super Bad. But I feel like it
like just went that way and then there was no
more black comedies, Like they don't make them anymore. Have
you noticed that?

Speaker 3 (01:21:09):
I wonder if it's because because I think about what
you're saying all the time, because I love the tone
of all those movies. I even get them to the
Greek in net. I wonder if it's because they're willing
to take more risks, Like there's a lot of things
that they do in their comedy that I feel like
some black people wouldn't necessarily I disagree.

Speaker 15 (01:21:26):
I say, I'm saying the opportunities out there. I'm sure
you know there's like a bunch of black comedies being written.
They're just not being shot, They're not being given to
black comedians.

Speaker 20 (01:21:36):
But I think he's asking, would like some of our
big name black comedians, would they take those roles that
are going to push those boundaries because it could offend boundaries.
I mean, people are offended by everything nowadays, So it
depends on who you're talking about.

Speaker 21 (01:21:48):
What you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:21:48):
Well, it's a lot like back in the day when
you look at the liver color and all of that
stuff like that. They weren't afraid to pretend to be gay.
They weren't afraid they were addresses. Yeah I'm not saying
you gotta wait to jet, but they weren't afraid to
push the limit. There's things that I feel like this
black people wouldn't do.

Speaker 15 (01:22:03):
Now you just get critiques for everything. But I think
if it's funny enough, they'll let you do it. Like
we let Robert Downel Junior get away with black face
because it was funny, right, And but I don't think
he could do that now. I don't feel like I
don't feel like anything is uh. I don't even know
super Bad could get away with being super bad now.
Maybe super bad, but like forty year old version, I'm
not sure right, like these not even nerds, not even nerds,

(01:22:25):
which is crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:22:26):
Nerds though now I haven't, I haven't, I haven't, not
even just comedy though I think about back in the day,
like why was Q in high school?

Speaker 7 (01:22:37):
The nurse and Juice? They don't even give us a
next name?

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
Reason that was? Why was this? Nerves?

Speaker 15 (01:22:46):
I bet you, I bet you there was like a
storyline that they just didn't have time to explore. They
probably had to cut it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:52):
You know, we got more with Damon Wayne's Junior when
we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning,
the Breakfast Club. Everybody's DJ d jes Larry Chelamaine the guy.
We are the breakfast club, long the roster, feeling in
for Jess and we're still kicking it with Damon Wayne's
junior Lauren.

Speaker 20 (01:23:12):
Are you guys gonna like because I don't. I feel
like it's a lot of it. Like the networks know
that people will be offended, so they try to stay
away even if they want to try it right. But
in Papa's house, like you guys have Essence Atkins who's
kind of coming in and your dad is like the
old school person who he's like aware of the boundaries
but he doesn't really care. And she's like, you're gonna
have to care. Are y'all going to kind of play
around with that a little bit more and take those risks?

(01:23:33):
Or is the network like we can be cute with it,
but like no, cause your dad be willing to go
all the way there.

Speaker 3 (01:23:38):
I love it.

Speaker 15 (01:23:39):
Oh he goes there all the time. Didn't he get
in trouble on your on your show?

Speaker 3 (01:23:42):
Yea year's ago.

Speaker 21 (01:23:43):
I watched that last night. I watched it last night.

Speaker 7 (01:23:48):
Resurfacing things for no reason.

Speaker 15 (01:23:51):
Well, they put my picture during that whole contrumy I remember.

Speaker 3 (01:23:56):
Remember, was everywhere was like.

Speaker 7 (01:24:00):
He didn't say, guess.

Speaker 3 (01:24:01):
What that was crazy?

Speaker 20 (01:24:08):
Whatna y'all gonna push those boundaries on the show.

Speaker 15 (01:24:12):
Yes, we are, We we have and I think that
you know, once the suits the CBS saw that we
know what we're doing, they kind of like, let us
play you know what I mean, like and you'll see
each episode gets funnier and funnier and funnier, and you know,
and the characters are get more and more well rounded.
We deal with like real issues too, which is kind

(01:24:32):
of weird to have like serious scenes and stuff like that,
but we we do that too, which just makes the
comedy funnier. And I love what we're doing right now. Man,
It's it's very unique, especially on CBS. Like we're definitely
making CBS uncomfortable with the choices we're making, which I
think is great because we're pushing the envelope. It's like
we got we we're competing against streaming now, we're compeding

(01:24:52):
against network shows that go for it. So it's like
there's no time to really just play it safe.

Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
Are you ever afraid to work with because you know
that he just like sabotaged his SNL situation and just
walked purposely did things to get fired.

Speaker 7 (01:25:08):
Do you ever think that he might do that again?

Speaker 3 (01:25:09):
I don't.

Speaker 15 (01:25:10):
I think he's more patient now. I think he just
wants to make a good show and spend time with
his family doing it. Like I feel like this is
like what he likes doing, and so I don't think
he's going to jeopardize that. Yeah, I mean that, you know,
maybe ten years ago maybe, but like now I feel
like he's just like chill and just having fun. Like
we just be laughing the whole day. It's just I

(01:25:33):
love it.

Speaker 3 (01:25:33):
And when you know you talked about you know, Sean
writing on the show, and you know your aunt Kim
being a showrunner. Do y'all even look outside of the
family now, we have a lot of.

Speaker 15 (01:25:43):
People that are from our outside of the family too.
Like there's like twelve thirteen writers on the show.

Speaker 21 (01:25:49):
You said they know you guys though, right, Like.

Speaker 15 (01:25:50):
Yeah, we all know their family friends. Like the showrunner.
We the showrunner wrote Major Pain with my dad. He
wrote on my wife and kids with my dad.

Speaker 21 (01:25:57):
So the strangers get a chance.

Speaker 15 (01:25:59):
Strangers get a chance to get some strangers in there.

Speaker 3 (01:26:03):
Crazy, We got some strangers in the right man, y'all
are doing it the way Black people should do it.

Speaker 15 (01:26:10):
I agree, and I think that, you know, and we're
not bringing in stragglers, like, we're bringing people that contribute
to the project. They're not just being like they're not
just there because their name is Wayning's. They're actually like
contributing and being really good Keenan juniors in the writer's room,
which is he's so damn funny, my brother Michael the
writer's room. It's just it's just great.

Speaker 14 (01:26:31):
Man.

Speaker 15 (01:26:31):
This is the closest thing I've come to being on
a show that I have control of. Like, I always
kind of envy my family because like the first generation,
because they got to come in as themselves, Like this
is who we are within living color, Like this is
who we are, take it or leave it. This is
funny to us. Like I've been an actor for hire
my entire career, so I've been funny in spots. But

(01:26:52):
you can only be as funny as they allow you
to be. And so I love that this is kind
of like the next best thing. You know, it's of
my dad's baby, but I get to contribute a lot,
and he's very collaborative.

Speaker 3 (01:27:03):
So yeah, when did you feel like you started to
make your own name for yourself and people started saying
that that's not dami Wayne's son, that's actually Dami Wayne's union.

Speaker 15 (01:27:12):
I feel like when I had the Happy Ending show
and then I booked the New Girl show at the
same time, right, and so there was like a whole
uproar about that. I that that was pretty cool because
Happy Endings was my first the first show I ever
auditioned for, and then New gro was the second show
I ever auditioned for. So I felt like I was like, Oh,
I got there's something and uh. And then after that,

(01:27:33):
I just felt like I can do my own thing.

Speaker 3 (01:27:35):
Are you going to be part of the toy that
they're doing. They're doing a tour.

Speaker 21 (01:27:38):
They're not about the comedy tour.

Speaker 15 (01:27:39):
No together, I'll be telling me nothing. I'm second generation.

Speaker 21 (01:27:42):
They barely told us.

Speaker 7 (01:27:43):
We just thought.

Speaker 15 (01:27:47):
I saw that clip. I think I saw that clip.

Speaker 1 (01:27:51):
You are so welcomposed.

Speaker 15 (01:27:55):
I know what I was gonna say, is I think
it's something else. I don't think it's a tour. I
think it's I can't say but what I think it is.
But if it is what I think it is, it's
gonna be fire.

Speaker 21 (01:28:07):
We know that.

Speaker 3 (01:28:08):
But like Mortalized, the wings. I think like the wings
need a thirty for thirty or like you know what
I'm saying, Like.

Speaker 15 (01:28:14):
He'll be dope, but do they do that for I never? Yah, Yeah,
I mean it'll be dope, but no, it's gonna be
it's a it's either like it's like something on TV
or film. I think that what's it called. I don't know.
I can't say that.

Speaker 7 (01:28:29):
You want to say too much.

Speaker 21 (01:28:30):
As soon as the drop, he's gonna be the whole
and he's gonna be.

Speaker 15 (01:28:32):
Like he was in here, like but I gave more
than he did.

Speaker 2 (01:28:36):
But this is your time to shine. This matter what
they did you last time. He wasn't even here and
they put your picture on things.

Speaker 15 (01:28:41):
You're strong man. No, I can't say because I don't
I don't know if it's true. Because if I say
something is wrong true and I'm gonna look like idiot.

Speaker 3 (01:28:50):
I get it.

Speaker 15 (01:28:50):
So they they don't even tell me that much. I
hear like whispers my family just gossiping ass family man.

Speaker 7 (01:28:58):
Well s luthor, you for continuing to carry the torch
the right way.

Speaker 15 (01:29:01):
Thank you, mand In salute to y'all man, cause like
I came here, I forgot to have money. How many
years ago? At least over a decade, Yeah yeah, and
then to see what you guys became, it's just phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (01:29:12):
Appreciate you brother.

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
Poppa's House Monday's eight thirty on CBS, make sure you
check it out. You can stream it on Paramount Plus
as well. And we appreciate you for joining us, brother,
Thank you man Damon Wayns Junior.

Speaker 3 (01:29:22):
It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (01:29:23):
Good morning, Pouring everybody. It's dj NV just hilarious, charlamage
the guy. We are the breakfast Club. It's time for positive.
Note what we got positive? Notice simply this man.

Speaker 3 (01:29:33):
Be careful what you wish for USS, because it just
might get to you. All right. To wish bad things
for somebody else is actually like looking for something bad
to happen to you, because when you wish badkarm on
somebody else, you bring bad calm on yourself. Okay, you
are consuming and bringing in negative vibes into your life.

Speaker 7 (01:29:50):
Instead, be the person you wish they were.

Speaker 3 (01:29:52):
Be the person who brings only positive thoughts and good
vibes into their own life. Because being negative yourself will
only bring negative into your life. Don't pour than yourself
hoping somebody else will die all right, breakfast club bitches,
do y'all finished or y'all done
