Van is soooo thought provoking and accountable. There’s something very endearing about him. I loved this interview. 🙏🏽
Love Van Lathan! His candid nature and ability to stand in his truth, while still being relatable/REAL is rare and quite admirable!!💯❤
#
Well said sister! I absolutely concur!
When I found out what happened I truly didn't believe it. I was upset and haven't watched TMZ scene he left. I'm so happy to see van living life, looking good and moving forward. God bless him.🧡
@Vanessa Hardrick I stopped watching TMZ for the same reason I stopped reading & purchasing the magazines(tabloids)we use to see while in line at grocery stores that had celebrity headlines. Majority is just nonsense.
Neither have I and I’m not someone who boycotts stuff.
Yes I agree with you
Facts.
Me too!
Thanks Van...."Katrina" changed me and my family's life forever. Folks don't understand the trauma we endured.
🙏🏿☮🙏🏿
Fr it’s so traumatic
Like Van eluded to if a slap traumatizing to the point that you can't get up and go to work then I'll take that any day compared to what's folks have endured in the hood and certainly Katrina.
@@bankston11 I went through it, I was there, in it…. Lower 9th ward. I’ll never forget it and I was 13 years old at the time.
I could only imagine
I'm a loyal "Thought Warrior" and I really enjoyed this interview. Van's ability to tell a story is quite captivating but when it's his story, it's on another level. Nice job Charlamagne and Angela with the interview.
Worst show ever!!!! The dislikes were always higher than the likes
"People don't tolerate you when you take up too much space".......that was a message right there.
I cant help but cry listening to him talk about how he dealt w his father's death. "listening to the wind" is so accurate. I lost my mom in 2008 and sometimes her absence hits me. I will never be ok.
So sorry for your loss 🥀
U are ok sis. U are alive. Just how your mom would expect. Keep living and loving. May your mom rest peacefully.

I know Van has gone through ton of controversies in the last 6 years but I’m so glad CTG has stood by him
Tons of controversies? Really? What controversies?
@Happy Thoughts Yes and I don't consider any of what Van mentioned controversies. Definitely note anything for CthaGod to stop being associated with him for.
@@MRLONG758 ton was too strong of a word but -
He’s hyper online so he’s gotten into a few twitter fights/draggings. Mainly it’s his TMZ association in general. I like Van but he went from being a rising star in the commentary community to quietly dropped by many (until his star started rising again) CTG has always enthusiastically called Van his friend
@Happy Thoughts I'm still waiting to hear the "tons" of controversies.
@@avalauren4731 you can't count Twitter rants thats literally the celebrities go to communication. He had 2 TMZ issues and he wasn't resigning with them so they gave him Rachel Nichols walking papers.
It's absolutely refreshing to see this brother, so intellectual intelligent, so true to self worth, for the black experience. We should be so proud of his presence in media.
Quote: " “I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.”
Profound quote
The interview I did not know I would enjoy so much. I genuinely understood when he explained the passing of a parent. But the cherry on top was, am good when am big or not. The relationship he has with himself. Truly enjoyed this. His so wholesome.🤗
After losing a large amount of weight and gaining it back a number of times, I’m now attempting to deal with the trauma behind my relationship with food… this interview was extremely cathartic for me.
Yeah man stick to it once you lose the weight it’s very easy to gain it right back.I gained 14lbs during the pandemic.As of 4-17-22 I’m down 10 lbs 10 more to go.
@@will1079 me too. It's an extreme struggle that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Prayers for us all 🙏🏾
@@getmoneychill6462 I actually lost weight during the pandemic once we opened up the bars and Restaurants I gained it all back haha
If diets really worked, you wouldn't need to do more than one. Diets don't work. If you want to lose weight, adding more physical activity to your routine has better effects than changing what you eat.
@@SuperToocool4skool 🎯
Van is an entertaining interview because he’s candid, funny and gives us gems.
I enjoyed this TBC!
you yum
I uh Jenn in the mail today I nam. Mmojy.
Everything Van is about is so real luv you Van I'm praying
for you keep up the good work!!!!!!!!
Weight Gain is like drug addiction when you see clothes u want to wear but can't fit that's when you know u hit rock bottom💯
Whew. Losing weight is hard! Whew
@@monetteshia It’s mental & discipline
I watched this entire interview from beginning to end. Love Van Lathan. So deep, reflective and smart!
Yes Van Terry!!! RIH Uncle Terry!! Also Van Is A Family Name!!! There Is Another Cousin Name Van In The Lathan Family!!
Proud Of You Cousin!!!
I love Van. He’s a gem
Van’s success proves that when one door closes God opens a wider one 🙌
I totally relate to Van and his experience with his weight journey. Me gaining weight has altered how I interact with people and how people have interacted with me.
My weight should not alter my happiness but yet it does and I have a number in my head that will make me feel more confident
Van is an extraordinary person he relates to the culture, walks in his truth while helping others live in theirs. He’s very candid! Big ups Van
I can See Van having his Own TV show! He’s Very Entertaining ⭐️
He needs a Tv sitcom!!!
Instead of that dude making all those babies
That The Wire podcast with Jemelle Hill was 🔥.
Love me some Van Lathan ! Haven't watched TMZ since the day he was gone. So happy to see him living his life and healing
Van is my friend in my head.
Mine too lol! I am trying to manifest someone like him, we would have so much fun 😂😭.
This interview could have easily gone on for another hour, Van is entertaining. Luv ya Van!
Man Van’s interviews be so dope bro. He always finds away to break things down so well.
I feel you Van, my mother died in 2007 and I am still having a hard time dealing with it. I do not let anyone mention the fact that my mother has passed because it makes it real. I am currently going through life as if she is still alive. I have not yet healed and I am trying but it is really hard, so I understand. I wish you healing and blessings. I am a fan.
Praying for you my sister. I lost my mother in 2020 and it is the hardest thing I have ever had to endure.
A lot of mothers were lost recently including mine a couple of months ago.. it’s hard to deal with.. people wondered why I didn’t mention it to everyone I knew .. some people are private and deal with death differently.. the pain doesn’t go away and talking about it to everyone you see makes it worse..
🙏🏾
@@naomiv0626 Thank you so much. I will pray for you also.
@@tysams626 sorry for your loss. 💗\ talking on the phone today about my sister who passed. in 2014, to my son, we were laughing about some of the things she would say..a real firecracker all her life, strong and funny!☺️ we just think of the good things from her life!
Van is one of my favorite humans! Both his podcasts got me through the Panorama. Kudos to him on the Oscar and the book!
I always pause to view Van interviews. He is so engaging
This man is the Truth. Such a high level of consciousness and awareness. A real warrior. Blessings!
I love seeing CTG and Van in the same room. Van was basically the CTG of TMZ and CTG vice-versa. They're a part of the elite class that checked Ye, lived to tell about it and still have careers.
Yes
Very well said!
I never really knew Van before this interview but I feel like this man was way ahead of TMZ. He's walking in his purpose and I felt every bit of his emotions. I wish the breakfast club brings him on full time! I would watch it if he's on it! Lol
He was right about Lizzo. I was over 300 lbs and I didn't have no blood pressure or diabetes issues. It was just the weight..
Such a huge misconception that everyone overweight has health issues pertaining to their weight, too much weight itself for your body size may not be good for you but it doesn’t necessarily mean they have health issues
@@coreejacobs4780 Correct... Cause I knew alot of ppl that weight less then me with high blood pressure and diabetes..
So I have a question are y'all actually watching and listening to the knowledge that's in this interview, or are you just going to comment on the man's weight and how he looks during the entire interview are you going to listen to the words that come out of his mouth or just bash him for the duration of the interview for what his weight looks like?
Preach!! It's disgusting and needs to stop.
Riiiiight!!!! 🤦🏽♀️💆🏽♀️
Right!!!!
Haven’t watched the interview yet, but I’m so excited to see and hear what Van has been up to. It was so wrong for TMZ to let him go. But I’m sure it worked out for his greater good.
His podcast is awesome
He's doing greater things..TMZ boxed him in
Man, I feel like I’m hearing myself talk about the self love and weight situation. Much love, Van. I can’t wait to read/hear the book.
Shout out to Van for putting so many people on & making a difference in the community & the world.
“Are you one of these sea moss people?” 💀 😂
I love Charlemagne and Van’s dynamic. As someone who deals with disordered eating this interview was both touching and hilarious
“Healing is not linear” - Charlamagne
Wow I had to think deep about that. Interesting enough, I came across Van’s old breakfast club interview out of boredom just a week ago…not thinking that I would gain anything from it. However, it was very insightful! So much insight, that I started searching any interview that I could find of him! So to see him on the breakfast club again was great! I love his perspective on different topics! And I wish him all the best and much more success! I’m looking forward to buying the book!
Listen to higher learning his podcast
Peace over everything.
Love a black man with knowledge!! Keep goin
"VAN" in Dutch is used to denote what village or family the person is from. Which is the reason why a lot of Dutch people have "van" as part of their name so it is a way to identify or locate their origin. Unfortunately just like the English names it seems blacks with a "VAN" may have been enslaved by people of Dutch origin.
Van!!! Extremely interesting, conversational, immensely able to deliver his points…in amazing detail and examples.
Van been eating good. Lol haven't seen him in a while. Great interview the chemistry between all of them is dope. I love interviews with great energy!
Van putting that weigh back on
Eating too good. Lol
He said it was Covid weight. If you follow him on IG, he’s been working it off.
@@Boogiesince oh word damn I didn't know weight gain was a side effect of Covid thanks for the info
@@nycgirltee huh? Is this a legit question or sarcasm?
That feeling will never be over!! My mom as been gone for over 13 years and I still sit and cry like a baby for her… it gets better with time but it will never be over
Boy do I regret that day 😞
When Charlamagne laughed at Van for crying over Bennigans 🤣🤣🤣
Van was the only reason TMZ was watchable tbh
I haven’t watched since he left.
@@johnnyfox8934 same
❤ He was th "black TMZ guy" until his interaction with Ye for me....then he was Van Lathan. Love, have followed him ever since
If you haven't watched Two Distant Strangers, please do! It was an excellent film! I watched it with my two teens and they loved it. It was relatable, intriguing and a great conversation starter for my family. Now, we are all huge fans of Joey Bada$$.
Van Lathan is such a powerful voice, great interview folks !!
I love Van Lathan, he is a fantastic storyteller.
This is an excellent interview! Thank you Van for standing up for your convictions and not shrinking in the face of lethal ignorance.
Charlemagne a bamma like shhh. When he laugh him out with the Bennegans story, I LOST IT!
I love all of his interviews. Definitely a hometown hero…. Baton Rouge Babyyyy!
😎
big 225!
I love Van's interviews !! That TMZ story ! Thank you for speaking it out loud . OH YOU DO UNDERSTAND! YOU JUST DONT CARE WHEN ITS MY CULTURE
I’ve always liked Van and always felt like he was too good for tmz
I enjoyed Van interview. I don't usually listen to The Breakfast Club. I also look forward to reading his book. I haven't watched TMZ since you left. I see Harvey for who he really is. He don't want anything negative said about his people. Congratulations and best of luck with everything. 🙏🏾
Van is so entertaining and can’t wait to read the book
It's really the funniest shit whn ctg start laughing... shits addictive 🤣🤣
His laugh always makes me crack up laughing lmao
Van is a bother we all need. I love how he spoke to MacG. It's about how he spoke to him, it was so educational, I love that about him
losing a father is another level of pain. I lost mine in 2018 and I miss him everyday. RIP to all those loved ones
I’m looking forward to reading Van Lathan’s Book…This interview exhibits his growth & maturity.
54:00-CTG really sit up there everyday promoting Therapy & “healing,” but literally LOL at Van for sharing how he realized his food addiction, challenges, and ways he’s overcome.
BLACK PEOPLE Everything ISN’T FUNNY‼️
The laughter is one of the reasons vulnerability/ opening up is stigmatized-a barrier to getting Therapy‼️
I get that’s your Homeboy, but your laughter & jokes are overshadowing someone who maybe struggling with eating disorders/addiction and may discourage them from seeking help
He went right through that, but good point!
Exactly...his laughing was really annoying me. It's people who really struggle with food addictions and it's not a laughing matter.
Charla does this often. Its very weird - especially someone that promotes mental health. This is the reason why i belive folks when they say hes just doing it to help his shitty image and make money off it. He constantly makes fun of envy and others when sharing their story
You gotta remember, Van Lathan is one of CTG's best friends. Like they are tight tight. So it's jokes of love. Timing be damned
I thought Charlamagne was disrespectful
I stopped watching TMZ after Van left the show.
Me too its not good anymore without him
Tmz was even racist when he was there, he never confronted them on there racism
@@mallyscott5558 *their. And that's a cap, he constantly went back and forth with them especially towards the end.
@@mallyscott5558 he literally told two stories IN THIS INTERVIEW of him confronting them on their racism lmao
Me too
This was so powerful. Almost had me in tears. He’s super pure/wise.
Much love and respect to the brother Van✊✊✊
I know for a fact everyone had charla’s reaction when van said he cried cause the restaurant was closed 😂🤣🤣🤣
I heard him tell that story on his podcast before...Plz forgive me but its still hilarious..😂🤣💀
LOVED THIS INTERVIEW!!!!!!!
I was just wondering what happened to this BROTHER,... ? Good to see you " VAN " , ... IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THESE GUYS ARE VERY GOOD FRIENDS... GREAT ENERGY ..
Best interview ever. What a wonderful man. He strikes me as true genius.
This interview and the points at 33:00 and being in the struggle/survival matrix and how it’s hard to community build and care about health, & wealth.
It’s deep and needs to be expanded upon.
Cried over the fast food joint being closed 😂
Wild lmao
Louisiana stand up 🎯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾
You ain’t cry too long LMFAOOOO I’m weak. Bye Charlemagne
The K word is a slur for Jewish people. Good point, I hope Van actually made that point to Harvey. He thought it was ok to say the N word cause it is in rap music, but when the lil Jewish rapper said the K word in his rap, then Harvey was livid that Van compared his reason to people being ok to say the K word because it is in a rap song by a Jewish person.
I dont think Harvey really cared for the point lol. They dont see themselves like they see black people
@@mackstacks8913 They see black people as inferior so who cares about how they feel.
Pardon my ignorance, butwhat is the K word?
@@specialk4049 the word is kike
@@deidrewilliams7168 thank you! I must be living under a rock because I've never heard of this. Then again, I am originally from another country 🤷🏽♀️
Van......I am crying.....Bennigans.... Thank you for being so transparent and candid about your life.
A friend of mine wrote her dissertation on the after effects of Katrina. The stress was real
really ? would love to read that,, where is this dissertation? i am sure it has to be published..
Wow this was a refreshing interview, Van been through a lot and was able to express himself at high level. Mental health so important and him speaking on being black in America is very helpful. Living in this society is so hard because they don’t care about black peoples plight. We are just suppose to get over it each day.
Van is so outspoken and I love it. He has a great podcast with Rachel from the bachelorette too!
Van, Angela and Uncda Charla, all of you have really put the work in on your journey. ❤️ I feel proud.
I really enjoyed this interview. I love how vulnerable he was willing to be. I love his stories. Definitely dropped gems.
Maaan, I know exactly how he felt about Bennigan's...I was HEARTBROKEN when the one where I live went out of business...😭 those chicken tenders were DELICIOUS!!😋
The best interview I have seen in a while.
Charlamagne has a problem displaying empathy. He really needs to work on that
I always seem to like watching anything with Van I find him to be interesting. He always drops gems that I'm able to take with me later. 😉✌🏽
If you live in the Cleveland area, please vote Nina Turner for Congress!! She is genuinely fighting for the people and they’re pouring millions of dollars into her race trying to stop her. Election is tomorrow, Tuesday, May 3rd!!
Absolutely not!
@@ja-ree1332 lmfao
I can totally relate to losing a parent. If I never attend another funeral in my life, I’m good. I can’t do it. I don’t care who you are.
Van seems to be naturally evolved and magnetic.
Van is a great mind and speaker.
Love listening to Van, I don't always agree with him, which is great because we shouldn't always agree with each other, but challenge each other.
This was such a great interview
Great interview.... Van is one of the smartest black cats on the planet-- Good Bless ya healing journey Van!
Thank you brother minute 33:50 I HEARD YOU…I hope OTHERS did as well! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is such a great interview! I (really) appreciate Van Lathan's transparency. Real still exist and is recognized. Thank you!
I love Van...so glad Van came at Harvey's neck...#libertad✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Wow what a great interview love his candidness and authenticity. One of yhe best interviews from The Breakfest Club.
this is the interview I didn't know I needed to see❗
respect my broother❗
We are going to drive ourselves crazy trying to get other people to see us a certain way. CHANGE FROM WITHIN.
You are so inspiring Van. Thanks for your transparency and vulnerability.
Grateful for this interview 😇
What'd you like best about it?
Love van! Your perspective is so motivating.
This is so amazing to see, I grew up with Van in BR. He is still this same expressive, intelligent man since McKinley High!!
