This is Eric Andre. Well, I made a podcast called Bombing about absolutely tanking on stage. I tell gnarly stories and I talk to friends about their worst moments of bombing in all sorts of ways. Bombing on stage, bombing in public, bombing in life. I want to know what's the worst way they've ever bombed? Or have they ever performed way too drunk or high? Or was there ever a time where they thought they were going to crush and they stunk it up?

DJ Envy
Wake that ass up early in the morning.
Charlamagne tha God
The Breakfast Club.
Angela Yee
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Lola Rosas here as well. We got a special guest in the building that' ladies and gentlemen, Lou Duvall.
Charlamagne tha God
Yep, I ain't gonna be on here too long. Cause I ain't got nothing bad to say.
Angela Yee
How you feeling?
Charlamagne tha God
First and foremost, I'm feeling blessed and Highly favored.
DJ Envy
We not even that kind of show anymore. We used to be.
Charlamagne tha God
But on the real, y'all act like, I don't know.
Angela Yee
Y'all pause, pause, pause, pause, pause. I be thinking about little Duvall a lot, right?
Charlamagne tha God
Uh huh.
DJ Envy
Why you gotta pause that if it ain't gay?
Angela Yee
Cause I know how you think automatically.
DJ Envy
Oh, that's the man.
Angela Yee
Yes, you fly a lot. And with everything that's been going on with all these airlines and airports, what's your feeling when it comes to flying? Because you fly yourself.
Charlamagne tha God
I feel like the same way y'all feel when y'all see a car accident, y'all pass right by. That's how I feel about. With the planes. It's. I've been doing it. I mean, I've been flying for a while now, so. And you've been flying for a while, so you used to. It's just. Now it's been on. It's the main topic now. So y'all scared. So it's the same thing to me, but.
DJ Envy
And you know, it's funny, those private flights like yours are the ones that usually crash the most more than anything. So you do more than a commercial. Way more than a commercial flight.
Charlamagne tha God
Well, maybe so, maybe so. But it's all. It's usually the pilot era. It's usually just like the car accident. It's usually the car, the driver.
DJ Envy
But the reason I brought that up, because if you was gonna be scared, you'd have been scared a long time ago.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah, Yeah. I mean, I was scared at first. Cause I was like, yo, I ain't know no better. And then. And I had a. I bought the first plane I could get, and soon as I landed, that bitch cut off. So it's been a cutoff. It just cut off. The engine cut off. Soon as I landed my first plane. As soon as I landed, that bitch cut off at 1k.
Angela Yee
You can't jump into it, but you gotta get towed out the way.
Charlamagne tha God
No, I landed, so I'm alive, you know what I'm saying? But just my first plane that bitch cut off. So I learned how I learned about plan and everything just by getting going in head first. So now I'm here to teach our own people.
DJ Envy
How many planes you done had so far?
Charlamagne tha God
I got three planes. Now.
Lil Duval
What kind?
Charlamagne tha God
I got a Cessna, a Cessna Golden Eagle, I got a Baron Beechcraft, and I got a seaplane that you land on water.
Lil Duval
Okay.
DJ Envy
I think the best thing people can learn about Duvall is that everything is subjective. Like, you know, whatever you want your Life to be. And you live that life, if that's making you happy, that's it.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah, that's pretty much what it is, man. That's. I'm one of the few that was able to do what I want to do and be successful at it, you know what I'm saying? We created our own blueprint, especially me and. Me and him, as far as the content and all that. He was one of the first ones.
DJ Envy
They don't remember that.
Angela Yee
Long time ago.
Eric Andre
But it's true, though.
Charlamagne tha God
It's true. You know what I'm saying? It's true. It wasn't nobody doing skits and all that. Besides, remember that skit we did in the mall with that boy singing? And we just cut them off and it went viral. Before they was calling viral, we used to do all type of skits, you know what I'm saying? So just to see how it evolved, now is dope now.
DJ Envy
The State of the Union.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah. We was the first podcast for real.
DJ Envy
I remember one time I was in New York from South Carolina, and I text G Spin, G Spin told me, come to the radio station. Come here. Before I even got the job. And when I walked in, he said, man, this was. Cadillac Jack was there. He said, man, my boss been watching you and Duval Hood State of the Union all day.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah. So just to see how content and all that evolved now. It's beautiful. It's a whole lane that wasn't there for standup, you know what I'm saying? Like, now we call comedians just people that do social content. When I first came up, they used to hate on all this. So that's why I call myself the. I'm really one of the real. The oldest young niggas.
Angela Yee
She thought you was way younger.
Lil Duval
Yeah, I thought you were way younger.
Charlamagne tha God
You thought I was way younger?
Lil Duval
Yeah, I thought you were probably like 40, 41.
Charlamagne tha God
Now I'm 48. I'll be 48 and 47.
Lil Duval
Okay. Yeah, yeah.
Charlamagne tha God
I mean, that's. Cause I've been around so long, you've been seeing me and it's consistency. And that's why I try to teach these young comedians it's not all that stuff cool, but just staying at it and staying consistent. You gonna be right here. I'm living proof. If you watch me, I'm the blueprint.
Angela Yee
I wanna go back to one more question with the planes.
Charlamagne tha God
Okay.
Angela Yee
Does the wind change at all?
Charlamagne tha God
Cause it seems like the wind. The wind got worse. That's the scariest part.
Angela Yee
Recently.
Charlamagne tha God
That's the scariest part. You could control everything else but that window and the weather, you never know. So that's really what I pay attention to everything. If I see that red up there on my app, I ain't flying.
DJ Envy
That's the red mean.
Charlamagne tha God
The red mean. That's real, real bad weather. It's like you got green, yellow, then red. I fly in the green because that's just rain. Yellow, I ain't flying.
Angela Yee
What does yellow mean?
Charlamagne tha God
Yellow is still. You gonna be bumping and jumping and actually I done had way more turbulence in big planes than my plane. Cause I don't fly in certain shit, you know what I'm saying? But. But for the most part, it ain't that bad.
DJ Envy
Cause the wind's stronger than it used to be when we was growing up.
Charlamagne tha God
And it's safer. It's way more room up there. I ain't finna run. I ain't finna run into nothing. Cause and like, you know how you seen like what them planes collided? Yeah, you could see it. You could see them planes and you got the aircraft air traffic control. That's what I was saying.
Angela Yee
The helicopter should have seen a big ass plane.
Charlamagne tha God
I think he just got so used to it. Like you get comfortable after a while and so you just. You just be flying and you normalize it and then you forget.
Lil Duval
I was told that that's a normal route that that helicopter takes. Even though that was a training, that is like very normal.
Charlamagne tha God
Same thing with Kobe with the helicopter. I think he did that route so much. He used to it like say, even if I'm flying in the rain, I'm used to flying in the rain. So if something happened, it'd be surprising to me too. You know what I'm saying? So it's just like anything random. Just like your car. We gonna get used to it. Just like deaths. We got used to it after a while and it's normal.
DJ Envy
I don't want to get used to planes crashing.
Lil Duval
You fly?
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah. Used to car crashes. There's way more car crashes out here. It's normal. You just. It's new to us, just like everything.
Lil Duval
Do you fly the planes is what you're saying?
Charlamagne tha God
I. I got a pilot. I got a pilot on salary, but. But he can fly, I can fly. I just don't fly that much now, you know.
Lil Duval
I heard you rank the emergencies and I'm like just an able bodied passenger. Doesn't know the colors of the emergency. I used to be a flight attendant. So when I heard you rank the colors, I'm like, wait, not so you do fly the plane.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah, I know what I'm doing.
Lil Duval
Okay.
Charlamagne tha God
I know what I'm doing. Excellent. And the main reason I do this is just because I learned that people don't listen. They follow. So when you do something, they follow. I'm living proof that after shit y'all see on social media, they followed me, especially with this traveling and all that. So they unders. So when you. So when you understand it, you just do shit to help us as a community. And that's what I do. Whatever I do, I. I look at, I'd be like, what do we need in the game? We need more pilots. We need more flying. We need them to understand. So what's the best way to do it? Become that you are what you see. So you see me. It makes. Look we having this conversation. He been calling me since he still ain't got a plane yet. I don't know. But he don't fly enough, so he probably don't need it. But if you fly enough, you probably won't do it.
Lil Duval
Have you ever had a landing emergency? And if so, like, what rank they laughing back there?
Charlamagne tha God
I told. He knew about that.
Lil Duval
I've had a red emergency.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah, I actually did. It was one time we was flying back from Ohio and the whole instrument paddle went out. That's where all the stuff at, right? It went out. And once that go out, you ain't got no communication or nothing. We couldn't talk to air.
Lil Duval
You gotta fly manually.
Charlamagne tha God
And not only that, the windows froze up like. Like refrigerated. So we just flying, like in a ice can. Just float and just flying. Jesus. And just flying and flying now.
Angela Yee
You by yourself?
Charlamagne tha God
No, me and the pilot.
Angela Yee
Just you and the pilot?
Charlamagne tha God
Me and my pilot, we just fly. And they was in there too sleep, though. They didn't know what was going. They were back in the back sleep. So we flying and flying. So he was like, should we turn around now? I know we up north and it's colder and you know you can. On the wings, you can get. The wings get frozen and that's how you stall, right? So he was like. She would turn around. So in my mind I'm like, we should keep going down south.
Angela Yee
It's warmer.
Charlamagne tha God
It's warmer, but it was the middle of the night, so it ain't gonna get warmer no time soon. But I'm like, we get lower. And so we got lower. Only thing we had was the compass and the shit. That's it, the compass. We went by the compass, kept going low and called on the regular phone. Got to where we can get on reception low enough till we could talk on the regular phone. And then we landed. And then once we landed the next day, that's when Kobe. That's when we found out Kobe died.
Angela Yee
It was the same, the same night.
Charlamagne tha God
It was the same night, you know what I'm saying? So that was one of my, the scariest moments. I had a couple scary moments, but that was the scary one. I was like, oh shit, this might be it.
DJ Envy
I asked you this when you told me, but what was you thinking when you was in that moment?
Charlamagne tha God
I was like, damn, this time I'm gonna go. I don't know, it's just like, it's.
Lil Duval
You can't describe it.
Charlamagne tha God
I almost had near death experiences a couple times, especially when I got hit by that car. Just. I don't get scared in those type positions. Cause I understand we gonna die, but at the same time I just, I kind of knew. I wasn't, I wasn't tripping, you know what I'm saying? I wasn't tripping, but my pilot was tripping more than me, you know what I'm saying? He hugged me, was crying and everything. But.
Lil Duval
No, man, but you don't know. I mean, it's literally like when you're in that situation, it's nothing you can do. Like what are you going to do? Jump out the plane?
DJ Envy
You can do at that point.
Lil Duval
And you said that your team was in the back sleep and I'd be telling them all the time, there's a lot of things that go wrong with planes and the pilots just figure it out and the passengers sometimes never even know.
Charlamagne tha God
And a lot of it has got to do with just, just keeping your composure, you know what I'm saying? Like people don't understand like that. What's the word that when you just nervous in the motherfucker.
DJ Envy
Anxiety.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah, anxiety and all that. That shit real like, especially in those type of moments if you can't control yourself. And I learned that from scuba diving. That's what got me be able to.
Lil Duval
You be just doing stuff.
Angela Yee
You do everything.
Charlamagne tha God
You don't follow.
Lil Duval
I do, but I thought some of it was just for like Instagram videos.
Charlamagne tha God
You just really, just be this really my life.
DJ Envy
So you just doing it for Instagram? Just for the gram. He been doing this before.
Charlamagne tha God
You know why that? Because the gram took it like that. And that's why you see everybody doing it for the gram. Instead of looking at it like, I'm doing this to show us we can do other. Not white people. This is people. You know what I'm saying? So that's why I do it like that music.
Angela Yee
See. Okay, you got a couple of records, a couple of gold records. Do it anymore.
Charlamagne tha God
I still do. I put out music all the time. I put out music for the ecosystem. That's what I do. If I feel something that. That need to be due, I throw it out there, you know, I do it for the love and for the people. That's what my stuff is.
Lil Duval
Best Life is my mom's song.
Charlamagne tha God
Best Life is everybody's song.
Lil Duval
Yeah, it was.
Charlamagne tha God
It's just you as admitted when you get old.
Lil Duval
Yeah, well, so she was. When this is not to make this dark. It's a good moment.
Charlamagne tha God
Okay.
Lil Duval
When my mom was going through her cancer battle, she would play that song all the time when she was having a bad day and it would like lift her. She loves.
Charlamagne tha God
It's God.
Lil Duval
That and Ludacris.
Charlamagne tha God
Move.
Lil Duval
Get out the way.
Charlamagne tha God
It's God, man. The music, that song, there was a blessing used from God through me. It ain't got nothing to do with me. It's all through blessing. Just to see how it's changed people and still changing people and still affect. It's powerful.
DJ Envy
Tell them about the Kool Aid story. When Kool Aid was pathing.
Charlamagne tha God
What about.
DJ Envy
And you played it for him.
Charlamagne tha God
Oh yeah. When he died, like right before he died, he had, you know, they had a thing in his mouth and. And he was about to pull it out. Like he was about to pull it out. Like, don't do that in front of me. But he. I was like, you want me to play something? He wanted me to play Lovely Day and Smile. And after I played Smile, he pulled it out and I walked out.
DJ Envy
Wow.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah.
Angela Yee
Damn.
Lil Duval
Whoa. Okay. Oh. You were talking about being the first to do a lot of stuff. Sexyy Red. I know you was bringing her outside a long time ago.
Charlamagne tha God
Uh huh.
Lil Duval
I know people bring this up. Charlamagne mentions it a lot of times too, that you were one of the first to be like pushing her and like you were booking her for some of the days that you do.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah, I did.
Lil Duval
Now looking at like right now, today, when you see everything you be feeling like told you, like how you be feeling.
Charlamagne tha God
I just be proud of. She ain't the first one. I do it all the time. I don't take credit for shit like that. Cause I feel like that's what we're supposed to do. But I feel like I always. When especially that's why I Say I'm the oldest young nigga. Cause people used to look at me like that. They used to say, he too ghetto. He too hood. But I know, like, I could see it. So when I saw her, I was like, nah, she got it. And that's why I was like. And people was like, man, don't bring her to Duval Day. I was like, she is Duvalle Day. And she came there and rocked it, and just to see. And it ain't me. She did it all herself, so, I mean, she deserved everything she got. I like seeing her do it. Even if she fell off tomorrow, she still won.
DJ Envy
Oh, yeah. She won that life already.

Charlamagne tha God
Let's move on to the next story. It's a good time.
DJ Envy
What question you got? See, I like to hear the new people ask questions.
Lil Duval
You talked about the dei. Well, first of all, was it on purpose, and I. Was it on purpose that you. For me, I feel like when things happen, I want to go to see what you tweet about because you have a take, but you make it funny. But if you read through the fun, you really have a sharp take on things. Do you do that purposely?
Charlamagne tha God
I don't think you really pay attention to me. Go ahead.
Lil Duval
Do you do that purposely? Like, is that like the. You know, I used to do it.
Charlamagne tha God
But now I'm programmed into doing it. You know what I'm saying? It's like you program yourself to be good, you naturally be good. And that's what I do with my tweets. So anything you see me do, I don't put that much thought in it because I put thought in it early on in my career. So it's just second nature to me.
Angela Yee
What's one thing on IG you just can't stand, or one person that you just can't stand on ig I can't.
Charlamagne tha God
Stand people that complain. That's the only thing. That's my pet peeve. People complain, and that's all I see, people complaining about stuff that they can't control. You know what I'm saying? That's my pet peeve in life and everything.
DJ Envy
He said the person, though. Who's the person?
Charlamagne tha God
Oh, I ain't got no person. I just said personal things that ain't gonna work on me. We ain't gonna have no type of. No type of clickbait in this interview.
DJ Envy
I would never do that.
Charlamagne tha God
No way.
Lil Duval
That's your.
Charlamagne tha God
We don't be trying. We gonna be knowing this, gonna go clickbait. Then three weeks later, it go by.
DJ Envy
Oh, Lord, that's a.
Charlamagne tha God
We did not think that was going to rip.
Lil Duval
What's your issue with sexy backs?
Charlamagne tha God
Huh?
Lil Duval
What's your issue with sexy backs?
Angela Yee
You mean big backs?
Lil Duval
No, he got it.
Charlamagne tha God
He said, who is sexy back?
Lil Duval
You said, a woman with a sexy back is dangerous, and you gave an example of a sexy back, like, so.
Charlamagne tha God
How is that an issue? That's a blessing.
DJ Envy
You meant that in a good way.
Lil Duval
No, Well, I took it like, well, dang. Well, he got.
Charlamagne tha God
See, that's what your problem. You taking it the wrong way. That's the problem with social media. Y'all interpret it how y'all want to interpret it.
Lil Duval
Well, you only reading it sexy date.
Charlamagne tha God
I said, say this tweet again.
Lil Duval
A woman with a sexy back is dangerous. And you get.
Charlamagne tha God
Explain how you took that.
Lil Duval
I was like, well, dang, that could be dangerous.
DJ Envy
That's why we gotta be dangerous.
Charlamagne tha God
You saw that. But then if you go to my Instagram, I got a thousand women showing me they sexy bets.
Lil Duval
I ain't see the Instagram post.
Charlamagne tha God
See, that's the problem. Y'all take it and running. Just. That's. That's. That's the main thing that I get problems with most of the people that. That fine offensive something they took the wrong way. That's really all.
Lil Duval
I wasn't offended. I was just.
Charlamagne tha God
I know But I'm saying, even taking. You didn't take that as offensive, but you took it the wrong way.
Lil Duval
I did drop it in a group chat.
DJ Envy
I'm like, dang, he meant dangerous in a good way. I did mean she can get you caught up type.
Angela Yee
He wasn't talking about you.
Charlamagne tha God
You know how many tweets I done got like that that women got offended by just from that.
Lil Duval

You posted that the DEI blackout happened, and it was easy because you don't buy nothing nowhere. All y'all invested in boycotting companies that have removed it. Huh?
Charlamagne tha God
