When Stephen said “to see her in the grave before him”…..man I broke down in tears…..that one hit home for me….
Yoooo! Deadass
💯
Thats very often the case or...more often than not. That's life....if we dare to survive it😉
Me too!
Agreed
"Who the hell wants to be successful alone?" I felt that.
I know few mfs 🤣🤣🏃🏿💨
I know few mfs 🤣🤣🏃🏿💨
Unfortunately a lot of people do lol
I do ; whats wrong with that?
@@Atribecalledsuccess do you mean as being lonely and rich or you being the only successful person in your cycle?
Fantastic interview! PLEASE keep Lala as a PERMANENT HOST. She brings fantastic energy and elevates the interviews. It’s clear she prepares for her interviews.
I Agree! 💯
Nahhhhh! Let's see all the candidates 1st.
Lose the sun glasses La La.
This is so many young black men like myself story and feelings towards our fathers. Props to Steven A. opening up and sharing but teaching at the same time.
Although I love and respect my own father, and although he was far from perfect, and tried his best, I would probably never want to be like him, through, looking at other men throughout the years, I have a great idea as to what kind of father I would like to be. What many folks should understand, whether you’re black, white, Latino, etc. Is that you come from your parents, but you are not your parents, their responsibility is to raise you and get you ready for the world you will face. It’s not going to mean that they’ll be there all the time, it’s not even going to mean that they have all the answers, you live life in order to find those answers, When you have your own kids to raise, it is your direct responsibility to have as many answers as you can in order for your own kids, to go out there and be productive citizens, and do all of it without any type of regrets towards those who raised them, or didn’t raise them.
Well, the new generation kids no longer care to protect Black Men and they will go on TikTok or other Social Media platforms to air out their grievances while their parents are STILL ALIVE. Black Women ALWAYS CODDLE & Windmilling to protect Black Men even after Death 💀 Y’all NEED to STOP 🛑 protecting Black Men’s degenerate behavior and CALL THEM OUT. F**k grace and bring back Shame culture because the world 🌎 can see y’all now. These Men have NO shame and in order to have shame, you must have pride BUT outsiders will ALWAYS protect them, and so the cycle of generational curses and traumas continues on to their children.
Why do people always have to inject skin color into shit that isnt about skin color
Some of us never knew our fathers😢
@@aquarius-woman5364 i kinda disagree a lot of black women didn’t have fathers as well. Because of that they don’t know what a real man is. So they always choose the guy the culture tells them to. And the street dude with no morals or principles is considered the alpha in the black community.
No matter if you like Stephen A or not, I appreciate him sharing about his personal life, especially his parents.
Same here!!
Duly noted!...Less we forget though, those of us who've experienced/ endured that level of trauma could absolutely care less about the "societal charade" of being liked and or accepted. Sometimes there's value in interior "scar tissue" i.e, , being a more patient, empathetic, conscious and- most importantly- apologetic parent as we, ourselves, continue to grow. Which, I believe is much more in line with the theory of "go in the complete opposite direction" of what was demonstrated to us by our fathers.
I appreciate it too. I feel I have an understanding for the things I don't like about him as well as the things I like. Knowing the culture/family he came up in.
I hope Stephen's book come in audio I want to order it I now like to drive listen and learn...
It's done to seduce thé most gullible, he's à jackass, money hungry, no integrity, snitch, no back bone.
My father passed in 2021. I remember people at the funeral speaking about how reliable he was. I was literally mind blown as one of the 5 children he did absolutely NOTHING for. And when l stood up to speak, my mother was terrified lol. But l started off by saying “when a person leaves this earth. All that really matters is the good memories you have” And l went on to speak on the few good times we had. I could’ve slandered him for hours. But to me that’s spitting on that person’s grave

You have a good heart and a forgiving person. That's how it should be and that will be a reason that you will prosper because you don't hold grievance. You are at peace.
I’m so sorry to hear about your experiences with your father. My father also passed away in 2021. My experience was very different. He was my greatest man and I miss him dearly. Stay at peace and positive. I wish the best for you and your family.
Kinder than me. Not a good dad??? Bye!
I’m sorry for your loss, 🙏🏾❤️ my condolences go out you & your family.
To Lala’s point that Stephen A doesn’t care about what ppl think of him. . . when you have a parent who doesn’t care about/love/support you, like his father, it prepares you to not get caught up on what others have to say about you. His book is really good.
I was just commenting how learning about his upbringing, I better understand the things about his personality I don't like, along with the things I do. It's not just about, not caring about what people think about him, which goes into having a sense of empathy for others, and or what they think. But he can't give or extend to other people what he didn't have, doesn't know how to give, or was never extended to him.
💯💯💯

I like the vibe Lala brings to this show. Not overly asserting and knows how to choose spots to grow within the platform. This could be perfect.
She is a welcome. Change from Yee.
She started out in radio
I agree
So you like her because as a woman she doesn't speak up a lot? Very sexist comment.
I love seeing Stephen A in these spaces where he can express himself freely!
After this show, I have a newfound respect for Stephen A. Smith. Like I was taught, don't judge. You never know what people have gone through or going through. Keep up the good work Stephen A.
My. my, my, what a great interview!! I have gained a new respect for Stephen A. Smith and I am glad he spoke his truth!!
His book is good
Stephen has BEEN speaking his truth, but they try to make him a COON, or call him a slave, etc. Bottom line is they TWIST everything he says because he's winning! FACTZ
I need to get his book 💯
His truths, what about his father truth
"his truth" lol, another imaginary term invented by the left
I loved what Stephen A. Smith shared about his dad and I could relate. I also love the way he discussed “his opinion” regarding Rihanna. He’s wise and knows how to keep his name in the conversation without taking any of personally. I was tired of my children making me listen to him daily when they were in school, but I loved this interview!!!
I really miss seeing Lala in this space her skill set seems so natural and effortless but she’s like 20 yrs in at this point. Great talent
Wouldn’t La La treat this space as a demotion? There’s already quite a few reports on line about her feeling a certain way because she can’t find a man who has lots of money who fits into her “ picky “ criteria.
Are you serious?? This was a mess. She was dressed inappropriately backside out, sunglasses, slumped over to the side on the chair, really contributed nothing to the conversation, but neither does DJ Envy, so I'll give her a semi-pass on that. However, great talent? I'm not seeing it.
@@tinastardust7793 you know something? I am so relieved at what you said. When I was looking at this video, I was saying to myself, does Lala have on a onesie or something? I’m definitely convinced that Carmelo Anthony didn’t marry her because he thought she brought intelligence to the relationship.
First time I’ve seen Lala, and she is better than Angela. That HORRIFIC cadence when she reads out loud. Omg I go into full panic mode hunting the 🛑 button when she would read copy…
Please make Lala the new co-host asap. Her energy and vibe fits like a glove with Charla & Envy 👍🏼
PLEASE , Lala is a QUEEN of the culture
Yes she fits perfectly
She got a busy schedule and upcoming films etc. No way she can be permanent
Yes, indeed. She's perfect for the show
Was just coming to say this myself. Even if she cant be there everyday, try to make it regular as possible pls
Stephen A. Smith is correct. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Great interview today. I'm glad Mr. Smith made it clear that he was not trying to disrespect two amazing artist but love the talent of one artist more than the other.
I’m glad I had a good relationship with my dad. We had our moments. But man, I wouldn’t be shit without him.
Feel the same and my parents divorced when I was a baby but I always had him in my life even when he remarried and started another family
I am glad you said that. For all the bad ones..I am glad that you shared you had a good one. We needed to see that.
I truly appreciate Stephen A. His energy is infectious. 🚀🚀🎯
LaLa got her start in radio, that’s why she’s such a natural.
I love Stephen his energy is felt in the sports world his struggles made him who he is 💯
When he's off of ESPN and doing these interviews, Stephen A is so real. Definitely appreciate that about him that he's winning to show more of himself past being an ESPN personality
Love Lala here!! She is a perfect fit! Please keep her! Also I love that they are broadcasting live on TH-cam. I don’t have to wait till I’m in my car to listen anymore.
No way Lala is going back to radio
@@d3vp131 Why you say that? Explain with receipts.
@@rawrealitylife2959she acts a lot & has a lot of other business ventures. Hosting morning radio is time consuming & I doubt she has the time
This interview has made me want to buy his book. I love how he walks in truth.
Yes, it was so moving to hear Stephen A speak of his personal life, especially with his parents. I believe it gave others the courage to speak out as well. Sometimes when we have the courage to be vulnerable, it has a ripple effect for so many others to heal. Bless you, Stephen A, and all the others who have followed suit.
Stephen A. Smith is one of the most entertaining in his line of business. He's never shy to say how he feels. Great chemistry between Lala, Charlamagne & DJ Envy!
What a great conversation
Love the new set
"When you're winning, they always coming for you. Because unfortunately particularly in this day in age, their definition of 'winning',the closest they can get to it, is knocking you off your perch instead of creating one for their own."
- Stephen A. Smith
Great analogy.
I guess in his outdated subconscious mind he knows Rihanna is winning and he just said when winning they always come for you.Therefore, he is coming for her with his unattractive self. He is old enough to be Rihanna’s father. Rihanna is a phenomenal young woman. She comes from a humble beginning and she earned everything she has and she is a billionaire and I guest this why Stephen doesn’t care for her. This idiot all he had to say when she ask him what he thought about the Super Bowl is that he is looking forward to the half time show. He is hope the best for Rihanna doing the half time show. Sherrie didn’t ask him for who the best or to compare Rihanna with Beyoncé. When Katy Perry did the halftime show no one compared them. They just appreciate both ladies had an opportunity to to do magnificent show. He sit their with his unattractive self and will not admit he was wrong. Stephen fail to realize what he put out in the universe with that old mouth is waiting out their for him and that uncontrollable mouth. My mom says every dogs has it day and some has two or three. Also what goes up will come down. Blessings to Rihanna and Asap Rocky and their precious baby boy a gift from God.🙏🏽❤️

This is a great and true quote. Crabs in a barrelesque.
Such a powerful message! extending grace is the way
No ONE has the energy Stephen A has 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Much respect to that, Brother, indeed.
This interview worked. I will purchase his book. Very interesting.
great interview, def need to get his book.
The book is good
I didn't expect this. This was amazing
The book is also good
My mom passed away almost 3 months ago, I feel the same way. Thank you Stephen A for sharing your story.
This comment caught me off guard even tho I don't know you but rest in peace to your mom. I wish you and your family nothing but the best brother 🙏
Mine passed when I was 14. 🙏🏽 blessings to you
Mine passed 7 years ago and I wish I could tell you it gets better but you just get used to it, for bless may she Rest In Peace
@@katlap3101 right mine two years ago and it still hurt like yesterday
"I just like Beyonce" - I felt that 😂😂😂😂
Great interview with brother Stephen A. Smith. Definitely, going to purchase his book for my next read.
Awesome interview👏🏽✊👏🏽
Read the book and it touched my heart. Love this man
This interview humanized him & I felt so much empathy.
I agree Beyoncé & Bruno Mars are top notch performers.
Agree about Bruno and Beyoncé but you can’t have the same performers every Super Bow! The excitement is having a new performance!
That's like i got tired of seeing Tom Brady in the super bowl Lol. The same NBA team in the Championship. I love seeing new players and performers win!!
Yeah. Quite frankly I think if more people watch his interviews here and on the podcast with athletes they’d see if differently than they do on tv! Seeing him with athletes that’s he’s criticized at times shines new light on his comments and it honestly helps validate him in some ways because they like him
Envy always running the flow in interviews!
Fantastic interview!
Respect to Stephen A his book is great I’ve been watching first take before he joined when it used to be cold pizza I didn’t even know this man had kids
No matter how someone treated you and whatever you are feeling it’s never a time or place to say anything negative about anyone at a funeral even if you have a few nice things to say
I haven’t watched BC consistently in a while. I’ve watched 3 or 4 interviews so far this year. Keep them coming!
Awesome interview!! Cowboys going to the SB next year!! 🎉
😂 Nah... The Jerry curse won't let y'all be great! 🦅💚
Stephen A is the truth! I’ve got another level of respect for him after seeing this.
The perfect ending..."Cowboys going to the Superbowl next year..." Hilarious!!!
This is beautiful. And inspirational and puts more motivation for me, in writing my book I am working on. Thank you sir. Thank you breakfast club. Salute
That show is bursting up the floor 🔥 🔥 🔥 well done guys.
LaLa is a beast she’s perfect no interruptions she let it flow and spoke from the heart
SO YOU PERFER WOMEN THAT JUST SIT, NAW
@@maiiam9835 what I’m saying sometimes men or women on TBC and Angela Yee never let them make a point because she gets emotional
“They wanted to create that divide. You not creating that because I’m going to root for y’all.” Underrated statement
Loved this episode. Keep doing what you doing 💯❤️
Great interview y’all
I love you Stephen A. He speaks his mind. Keep doing what you do.
Always dope to hear success stories about someone's personal life and how they accomplished their goals in life. Whether you like Stephen A or not he's a realist and will always speak his mind and there is no bigger troller of Cowboys fans than him 🤣.
Dope interview ‼️🔥🔥🔥
Good interview!
Love LaLa’s vibe! Not a sports fan, but enjoy Stephen’s opinions. Will definitely read the book
Great 👍🏿 interview 👏🏿 and I have his book in my store so when I finish what I'm reading, his is NEXT!!!! Not the biggest fan of S.A. however I respect his grind, how he's unfiltered, and I have mad respect of how he shouts out Rob Parker and Chris Brussard on the rival network. Nothing but the best 👌🏿 going forward for S.A. and for being unapologetically HIMSELF!!!!
King Rehoboam period
Awesome interview!!
Great show and great great interview.
What he said about Beyonce' and Rhianna is what plenty of people has said about so many people example Michael Jackson and Prince. Prince is a great performer but we all know that Michael Jackson is the greatest performer of ALL TIME. People have a right to like who they like period.
And it’s no different from how people compare Jordan and Lebron!
legit just made this point lol THANK YOU! Prince is arguably a better musician , and MJ a better performer. both greats with their strengths
I didn't think the issue or conversation was a debate about whether people have a right to like who they like. Sherris question wasn't about making a comparison. That's where Stephen took it. It's about Reading the Room.
Reading the room is not about being right or speaking your truth.
It's more about is it the right time and place to be right, and about speaking your truth in love. In a way that unites more than it divides.
He would have been right to say what he wanted and felt to say at his Father's funeral, and what he said would have been the truth. But some people felt ut wasn't the right time and place.
The point was that it was unnecessary. It wasn't a debate. All he could have said was he's looking forward to seeing Rihanna, and he hopes she does a great job. Instead, he used it as an opportunity to say she isn't as good as Beyonce. It's not hard to grasp. It was also catty for a male.
@R. M. "Catty" Yes. Something about that word captures it exactly for me.
Like he's Flexing some basic "Alpha" male attitude while puttin off some catty feminine energy. The "cat fight" he conversationaly created was uncalled for and totally unnecessary.
I agree. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. There is just a difference for me between being asked for your opinion on someone and being asked to make a comparison between two individuals.
I wish we could get another run with lala on the radio like for a season or something I feel like she a great fit
Great interview!
New set up is fire🔥
CGod just be having the time of his life 😂
Ummm EVERYONE there was TINA TURNER and JANET JACKSON headlining the halftime shows BEFORE Beyonce. Everyone has a entertainer they look up too as a fan. But let's not pretend that Beyonce was the first to do it and then Rihanna, like they're the only two. They BOTH stand (and dance) on the shoulders of TT and JJ who came before them. That being said, I can't wait to see Rihanna I know already, she's going to kill it!
Serious question..kill it doing what? What songs? Shut up and drive?!
This episode was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 this needs to be the new cast 💯
Turn up the volume editor damn your videos be killin us
I love Stephen A. First time I saw him, my husband was watching his show, and I got hooked as well. His passion is infectious. I just love to see him getting his opinions across with such excitement. Keep up the good work!
Love SAS. He always keeps it real. So many of us can relate to his struggle. But can we relate to his relentless hard work and excellence. THATS the lesson!
Love LaLa.
Great interview 👍🏽
Finally a decent Breakfast Club interview. Starting to get 2015 - 2016 vibes
A new level of respect for Stephen A💪🏾💯
Please PLEASE KEEP lala PLEASE. 😢We love her ❤. For experience, personality, rotations/transitions, so funny, smart, and beautiful 🎉.
Very enlightening interview.
What a great segment
I love Lala! Please keep her on! Gotta say I have a newfound respect for Stephen A. Smith. I just bought his book and can’t wait to read it!
LaLa is literally GREATNESS. Best female host so far. Jason Lee best overall banter.

GREAT INTERVIEW‼️
Keep the rotation going there’s a lot of new talent out there.
I like that he stands his ground. 👊
Stephen A ♥️ - he always gives great interviews!
Great Interview 👍
I didn’t show up to my fathers funeral last year, I couldn’t stomach to hear people mention beautiful things about him knowing what little he did for me and my sisters. I get Stephen 100% …..
Same I helped pay for the funeral but did not show up.
Good for her. Why pretend?
😔
This is the show at its best. When Charlamagne has a dance partner that can match his wit, his humor, his life experience, his success and then some, it’s great.
Great interview ✌🏽✌🏽✊🏽
GREAT interview
People express themselves now. We have to stop being so sensitive. It's not always personal or not always meant by the way it was heard.
stephen A. is that one uncle you don’t smoke around just out of respect
Great interview
SA is just one ot the best! I have his book! Can't wait to sit back with my glass of wine to read it! I do appreciate his private life. Great he gave a part of him! Anytime someone opens their private life it takes a lot! Congratulations on everything he does! First Take is my morning fix! Lala started her career in media so she's a pro! Love her character on BMF! Always great guest and interviews with BC👊🏼👏🏽👏🏽
LaLa really thinks people watching for the half time show 😂😂😂😂😂
We are!
It depends who is performing. A lot of ppl actually watch for the halftime show
That’s what I’m like smh it really pisses me off how Black women in her spot like Nikki M always say us black men or someone attacking them like we can’t have a preference just like Kevin Samuels say that’s crazy but they can say they don’t wanna a broke , short or Dusty man.
It depends I didn't care about the Superbowls that MJ and Prince performed on
Here for it
I wish this interview was longer
LaLa is PUT TOGETHER this morning! Her skin tone is FLAWLESS and those nails are LAID!!! She killed it with the shades and the FIT😍😍😍😍😚
Are you serious? . I'm trying to figure out what was great about someone being slumped over in a chair in sunglasses, with claws for fingernails, with your backside showing was "put together". The Raptor claws? Ive seen her much much better looking...come on man....
Reason why I still admire SAS is that he's consistent and never shys away from his opinion and is willing to admit when he is wrong as well
Great interview SAS
Now I need to get this book
Stephen A. 🐐😎
Love him or hate him you gotta admit. He got ESPN on his back carrying the load with greatness.
