- Rediscover the band that CHANGED MUSIC FOREVER.
RUN D.M.C. were the Beatles of Hip-Hop. Darryl "DMC" McDaniels was a comic book nerd who pretended his way into hip-hop stardom and changed the world forever.
We dive into Darryl’s journey from a shy Catholic school boy, being bullied to becoming an icon in the music industry. Darryl shares his struggles with the dark side of stardom, which lead to alcohol abuse and drinking a case of 40-oz bottles per day.
Darryl opens up about confronting the realities of adoption trauma after discovering he was adopted at the age of 35, the pressures that lead him to suicidal ideation, and his diagnoses of suppressed emotions & OCD.
He also REVEALS the origins of Run D.M.C.'s famous remake of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way," their signature fashion style ("Adidas with no laces!"), their close relationship with the Beastie Boys, his rock 'n' roll inspirations, what it was like to be the first rap group on MTV, and grief over losing Jam Master Jay to homicide.
PLUS Darryl discusses practicing meditation through his creativity, his exciting upcoming music with Travis Barker, what music he’s listening to these days and what he thinks of hip hop and rap today, and the surprising story of how Sarah McLachlan saved his life!
Whether you're a long-time Run D.M.C. fan or new to the hip hop scene, you'll discover something new and inspiring.
This episode will leave you feeling like a fly on the wall as you witness MUSIC HISTORY - TUNE IN to MBB!

What's your absolute favorite Run D.M.C. song?? Mine has got to be "It's Like That". Let us know below !! 🎤🎤
My absolutely favorite Run D.M.C. song is "It's Like That'' as well!
Walk This Way and It’s Tricky are both on my “Favs” playlist. I’m 53 and my kids think my music selections are hilarious because they just don’t see me that way. They don’t have a clue😂
That is really difficult they are all good Hmmmmm maybe "It's Tricky" "Its like That" and "Walk this Way"!!!
Peter piper, and It’s Tricky. But there are so many that are part of the playlist.
Walk this Way
This man has made me have to hide crying at work. What a beautiful interview.

Mayim you are amazing ! RUN DMC?! Like, whaaat?!😮❤🎉
Wow!!! I loved this so so much. I am 47, and very much remember the Walk This Way moment. Thank you for sharing his story. I also was adopted, at 18months. But knew as a kid. My mom said, “I was so special I had 2 Moms”. I loved your reactions to his story. Loved this so so much💛
I loved listening to run DMC when I was a kid glad to see darryl today I respect him for being so open about his mental health
❤ D, you made my cry!!
I was driving my dump truck down US 40 in Raleigh, NC, wiping tears away!!
When you told us the story of your cousins leaving your mom and dad’s house and the moment you understood what had actually happened, my heart broke! What a precious Angel you are.
Love you, bruh!!
Thank you for listening to your wife and not giving up!!
This new episode offers a deep dive into the life and legacy of Darryl, providing us with a compelling narrative of his journey from adversity to musical greatness. From his struggles with addiction and adoption trauma to his creative process and collaborations, McDaniels' candid reflections offer valuable insights into the complexities of fame and personal growth. Whether you're a seasoned fan or new to the world of hip-hop, this episode promises to be both enlightening and inspiring.
Thanks for having him MBB ❤
Unbelievably great episode, Mayim and Jonathan, thank you! When DMC talked about finding the Adoptees Anonymous group I actually got goosebumps and tears for how that was exactly what he needed at that exact time. Also loved his memories of Queens, I'm about 10 yrs older than he but I also grew up in Queens, and so much of what he talked about reminds me of my young childhood there. The street games, the way every mom was your mom when you were out playing, for us young ones it was magic. The comic books, especially Marvel -- my brother collected them all, and the boys, especially, would collect and trade them with each other. On the stoops! And the radio stations and popular DJs, the Danbury Fair, OMG!!!.... In the conversation Mayim and DMC mentioned the decline of disco while rap and new wave were coming in. I'd suggest that it was the racist/homophobic/misogynist "war on disco" that emerged in the late 70s that actually fueled the rise of rap/hip-hop, because hip-hop filled the hole left by disco in many people's souls. People have to dance!

How do you manage to put tears in my eyes in such a beautifull way, just love your work here, keep rollin' please, luv ya !!!!...kisses from Spain
🇪🇸🫶
Daryl is such a dear person. I'm so glad he found his path through therapy and creativity.
This was,by far, the best episode of a podcast that I've seen in a very long time!! I continued to have goosebumps thinking back to being a little 9/10 yo white girl listening to Run DMC in my bedroom for the first time. Darrell is a legend, not just in Hip Hop but also in our American culture as a whole. He touched, with Rev Run and Jam Master Jay, an entire generation.
I never thought I'd ever see a Mayim X Run DMC video lol. This will be amazing.
I loved this episode! He has such an innocence about him. 🙂 I love how his eyes light up when he is telling his story. Thank you for this interview Mayim. 🤗
Man i forget that I am a child of the 70s/80s, when DMC starts talking about the artists of the time. When did I get old? lol
The combination! love it brains and rap come together this going to be interesting ❣️
This is an amazing interview. I must confess I never got into the hip-hop genre but this discussion is about life. Brought me to tears a few times, healthy, healing tears. Thank you, Mayim for bringing this to us. ❤
I really enjoyed this episode. Darryl "DMC" McDaniels is awesome. Much love to you Mayim, I adore you! ❤❤❤
You keep topping yourself , 10 minutes in . Yes I know the Danbury fair !!! I had play clothes too ! Started coke bottle glasses before K . This man is a legend.
🙌
This has to be the BEST episode! I had no idea Darrell's life was so interesting. I planned to watch in 2 parts, I can't turn it off! Loved it ❤
Mayim is my favorite podcast, just when I think her show can't get any better, she proves me wrong. This is rhe only podcast I watch religiously. She's exposed Another beautiful human we have in this world. Thank you for this wonderful platform
Wow. WOW. WOW!!!!
I loved the energy between Mayim & DMC - the compassion & kindness & genuine joy was palpable watching it. Thank you so much for sharing this episode.
As an older black man who grew up in Portland Oregon and lived through this (RUNDMC was my favorite group in high school) i love the questions being asked. DMC is such a solid dude.
Every time I watch this podcast I always Blossom as grown up
I really loved this interview. I’m 57 totally remember the beginning of hip hop culture and Run DMC. He’s an awesome self aware person and artist. My favorite so far and I have seen most of Mayim’s interviews
I have a distinct memory of the first time hearing "Sucker MC's" at Skate Key in The Bronx when the whole place (including me) erupted in mayhem. Then whenever the kids in our neighborhood would be on the stoop listening to it and making up our own raps in their style. I still have the notebook we wrote in with my first ever rap, "Take a Bath Homeboy". 🤣 Thank you Run DMC! ❤
🤯
@@MayimBialik 😍💕💕💕
Wow! What an incredible story🙌🏼! I love this episode! Thank you for this one❤
How much I appreciate that you divided the episode into chapters and name them!! That way, it's much easier for us to revisit some part of it, like I just did with “Fighting Alcoholism” and “The Adoption Revelation.” To the one of the MBB team having the idea: big thanks! 👍🏽
I love his energy so much! This was an awesome episode ❤
I am loving this episode so much! How amazing that two major influences from my childhood are together 🥰 I was so lucky to have been able to see Run DMC live years ago in Little Rock, Arkansas.
You could do a mic drop after this interview because honestly I don't think this can be topped. Your questions and excitement and Darryl's story and emotions were a perfect blend.
Run DMC legends ❤❤❤
I had been looking forward to watching this interview since you posted and it did not disappoint! I am so grateful to know the history of DMC ! what an incredible soul. Thank you Miyam💚
correction the sugar hill gang was the first rap group on american bandstand but run dmc was the first group to have the rock and roll sound.
This was an incredible interview, I’m speechless and overwhelmed again. There is something divine happening between you , the guests you invite, the questions you ask, their willingness to open up about their lives and the way they all have something or a few things that directly are connected to my life journey either past or presently or both. This years guests particularly are sharing things that are more than a coincidence. Cried at the story he told at the moth in 2007 re 1997 - her music saved me that year as well as 99 and 00, Lilith fair 2x , his journey from 38-56 is just so uplifting, I enjoyed his search into mysticism after raised Catholic , I can completely relate to that, the meeting of his mom and the tattoos and having met his sister before just WOW, belief that meditation is a state of mind - I agree . I could go on he is so intelligent and articulate, love his taste in music , same . Except I love Motown . Lastly, there is a divine God that certainly intervenes with some of us who are open to it . He wasn’t placed in that foster family that raised him by chance . Wishing it was a simpler time , like standing in circle cheering as classmates are breakdancing at recess …… To happier times ☀️💖🌼🫶
LOVE this !!
Gosh! I want a part two! ❤I can’t get enough! Thank you.
I just love this episode- I love Darryl I could listen to him talk all day! What an incredible story!
Eu curti muito Walk this way, com Aerosmith, foi muito bom recordar essa banda, que comecei a curtir, aqui no Brasil, em 1984, parabéns pela entrevista !!
Thank you…I’m 53…break dancer and I love to DJ. Everyone who knows me knows I jam in Adidas. Tell me hip hop and music is not a big part of who I am. And thank you to DMC for being so real!
🤘
There's kids playing jump rope. This ignored. What a powerful statement about our society. Love it. It is so true.
Wow, this was awesome. Never thought I could listen to a 2 hr podcast ave this had me glued from start to end. I grew up next to Hollis in Queens Village and couldn't believe how similar we were. Awesome interview!5 stars!! Keep up the great work!!!
🙏🙏🙏
When he said that the streets were beautiful too, I immediately thought of beautiful noise by Neil Diamond.
Lyrics of that song are meaningful to so many ☀️💖🌼🫶
Met DMC at San Diego Comic-Con several years ago. He's a true superstar!!
This was very fascinating to watch. Really loved it!
He is amazing
what an amazing, amazing , amazing. & RESPECTFUL interview.
Might be my favorite episode!!! So good.
Thank you again!! Loved his story!
I can’t begin to tell you how much I loved this episode! I’m the same age as you, Mayim, and are that generation that grew up on their music, and, just like you, their lyrics are etched in my brain 🧠. DMC is a fantastic person. I love his message to the young people and what a comic lover he is. I’ve listened to the episode about 5 times because it’s that good. Thank you 😊
Had to add that Jonathan noting how so many people in DMCs life knew he was adopted- parents, brother, doctors, teachers and he didn’t and how there was something off but not knowing exactly what was so spot on. Mind boggling
What an EXCELLENT podcast!!!!!!!!
A really eye opening interview! Thank you.
fascinating interview...thanks Mayim and Darryl
❤❤❤. Long Beach convention center. March. LOWRIDER show. Hip hop and care culture. Cali style.
Such a good interview.
What a beautiful man!! 🥰❤ I grew up with him. I'm 2 yrs younger than him (1966). I loved their songs!! I really enjoyed this whole story about his life. I need to go buy his book for sure. I love his outlook on everything. His love of music ... 60's thru grunge ... is the exact same as my love of music. I have so much respect for him & his life story. ❤❤❤❤❤
What a fascinating guest!! I love this pod!!
This was fantastic, thank you.
My meditation is creation is EVERYTHING!❤
oh wow, hearing about Rice HS brought me back. I was in Mother Cabrini and we knew all the boys schools lol. I loved RUN DMC and still do. Their music never gets old for me. Great interview.
this was a GREAT interview!!
I'm only a few years older than you, Mayim. I still wear Superstars to this day because of this man. Great interview!
What a great interview! 🎉
Love your channel..you are such a bright star with a great sense of joy

What a dynamo of a personality! Incredible interview. What a life he lived.
Beautiful interview.
We need a movie or series about RunDMC please! Somebody
Are you not freaking out? He said you are his rock star?? Holy crap.. unbelievable interview, keep up the great work 👍
🤯🙏🤘
This video is so awesome ‼️
I love mayim bialik and I love RUN DMC
Run DMC's first album was the first music I ever purchased!
Fabulos!😂🎉
Wow, you had faucet water for your friends with dixie cups! We had to drink from the hose...lol. Great interview!
Great interview. Wish we would have heard about their impact on Video Music Box. I used to run home to watch/listen. That was the transition to MTV.
Awesome
I wanna be the first! Have to be the first. Its in me. It drives me to not drink. Drives me to wait for that crisis line 20 minutes to unpack it because its all vivid. So, so black sheeped. But it all rises from the ashes, shining bright.
1:19:19Mic drop!! I’m covered in goosebumps!! Thank you both soooo much!!
I had my original time stamp incorrect. I JUST LOVE what he said his father said about adopting him “cuz maybe he’ll change the world””… BEAUTIFUL!! Eyes filled with tears!
Nicely presented video! (It’s almost like you’ve had some experience speaking in front of the camera 😊). Still watch reruns of TBBT. Good luck in your future endeavors.
Ty ❤
13:58 yep.
I was in sixth grade, my teacher said, have you finished all your work I said yes. He said, will you show me so I showed him what I’d done. What about the problems on the blackboard?
“What problems on the blackboard?”
👋✌️from Kentucky ❤
Tbh, I'm not into hip hop. That being said, after listening to this podcast, I've got to listen to his music. 🎶🎶
Breaking Down - DMC!!??!! 👌😎👍 Awesomeness! ✊😎👊🍁♈🍁
Had no idea Dm is such a friggin genius.
Goodness why are there so many damn commercials in this interview 😢
Omg Amy is on youtube no way!
*You had me at: **_"king of rock, there is none higher."_* Bam. Start the show.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
So... I'm looking up some old Run DMC content... and now I discover Mayim Bialik has a UA-cam Channel, with a theme song done by what sounds like They Might Be Giants, and she's interviewing D. Have I landed in the Twilight Zone?!?!?
The HIP HOP artist you are looking for is called QVEEN HERBY 1:42:42
Music is living feelings.
The heart start singing and dancing before the body does💓
I'm currently listen to a song that's just called "Be music"
🎶Hey there should be music wherever you are
and when it's at its best
Play it again and again🎶
Don't bother to find it though, the original is not in english.
Do you have it in the works to interview Katt Williams? His comedy is without cuss words, he’s well read, inspirational story of leaving home, staying away from certain behaviors and drugs, knowledge of the Bible & truths to show if God is real, not coming from a “churchy” way.
