Speaker 1: gonna make you do different people. So my first was

155
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: Bill Cosby. And I know, now Cosby is kind of

156
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: a taboo taboo, but fuck it, you know, let's go

157
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: for it. So I'd be like, you see the people,

158
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: and you gotta understand is a albaduba? You know what

159
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

160
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: And so I did Cosby.

161
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: Then I did Johnny Carson because I said, you know,

162
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: nobody's seen a black dude do Johnny Carson. So I

163
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: would go, wow, good stuff. I did not know that. Wow, Shannon,

164
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: this is a great show. Wow Wow, I would do that.

165
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: So it was Ali.

166
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: It was. Those were my first impersonations, but I never

167
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: really I didn't dwell on impersonations because if you if

168
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: you count, if you depend on the impersonations, your act

169
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: gets corny. Right, So and I made sure when I

170
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: was doing comedy in Chicago, I moved I finally, I

171
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: did it for about three years and I went solo.

172
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: And you know what's so funny. The person who told

173
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: me to leave. My comedy team was Steve Harvey. So

174
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: was that before before? He told were you meant impersonating

175
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: him before? Or I would have to eat Oh? I

176
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: was impersonating Steve only like three four years ago. Okay,

177
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,599
Speaker 1: I never impersonated him. I wasn't interested, you know. But

178
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: he told me. Because one day there was a club

179
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: called All Jokes Aside in Chicago. It was the number

180
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: one black comedy club for seven years. Shout out to

181
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: Raymond Lambert, Mary Lindsay, James Alexander. It was a number

182
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: one club in Chicago because a lot of times when

183
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: you would do black urban rooms, it would be a

184
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: black night at a white establishment, you know what I'm saying.

185
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: So but this was Chicago, was a black comedy club

186
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: in the nineties that was open seven days a week,

187
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: all right. And so that's from there. I went solo.

188
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: I broke up with the guy that I was with.

189
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: I wanted to go solo. So how difficult was that

190
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: because you had got I'm sure you guys had been

191
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: together for what three four five, two strong years, you know,

192
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: And I was like, I was a little because he

193
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he was as passionate as I was

194
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: in it. I was writing most of the sketches and

195
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: then I was like, you know what, I think I'm

196
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: a go solo. So I started writing shit on the side, like,

197
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: just in case this does this doesn't go well, I'm

198
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: gonna do shit on my own.

199
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: So I started writing stuff on my own.

200
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: And it was kind of easy to keep it moving

201
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: because you know what I'm saying, I just started doing

202
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: it on my own. I didn't even really tell him.

203
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: I just started going on my own. And then from

204
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: there I met ran.

205
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,000

257
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: Didn't even make it to the second round. And you know,

258
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: as a young comic, I'm only three years in, I'm

259
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: auditioning for SNL. Right, Eddie Murphy is my superhero, Eddie Murphy,

260
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: Like I might be able to do what Eddie Murphy

261
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: did because I saw Eddie Murphy in college when he

262
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: was doing the Raw tour. Yes, he came by our

263
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: school and I was like shit, I was like, damn

264
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: and another I have to give Tommy Davidson credit from

265
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: the DMB.

266
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 3: He came and performed in my college.

267
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: He was one of the main guys that really influenced

268
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: me to do comedy because in college is when I

269
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: wanted to do comedy. I was like, yeah, my third year,

270
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: I was like, I think I want to do comedy.

271
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: I was a pre med psyche major, you know, and

272
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, there was Tommy Davidson. Because Tommy Davidson,

273
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: I showed him around the campus. He came to my campus.

274
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: I showed him around. And then some years later, when

275
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: I got to New York doing comedy New York, I

276
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: did this show called Premium Blend. Premium Blend is a

277
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: Comedy Central. That's when Comedy Central was funny, right, Oh,

278
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: that's when it was live, but Comedy Central was dope,

279
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: you know. And so Premium Blend is like, you get

280
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: up there and you do like seven minutes. So this

281
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: was exciting for me. I've never done TV comedy on

282
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: TV and what's funny as as things go round and round.

283
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: Tommy Davidson was the host of that show I was on.

284
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: He remembered me. He said, you dude, that showed me

285
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: around your campus. I was like, Yo, You're one of

286
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: the main reasons I wanted to do comedy. So it

287
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:56,239
Speaker 1: was Tommy.

288
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: Davidson growing up.

289
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: Obviously, you said you grew up in Chicago, did you

290
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: you always want to do comedy? What did you want

291
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: to do before you discovered comedy? Okay, I thought I

292
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: was gonna be a baseball player. It was a shortstop.

293
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: I played baseball from Little league up to high school.

294
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be a shortstop. And I

295
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be an astronaut. I wanted to

296
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: be either an astronaut or a baseball player. That's what

297
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna because I was a space nerd.

298
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things in between that. But okay, no,

299
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna be a baseball player or yeah,

Speaker 1: I wanted to work for NASA, you know what I'm saying.

303
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: And I thought I was gonna That's what I never

304
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: thought about comedy. But I loved watching comedies. My family

305
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,120

00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: Flip Wilson Show. We were a TV.

310
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: You know, there was only so many channels back then,

311
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: so you watched everything. Carol Burnett, you know, you know

312
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: you Prior. People realized Prior was on TV sometimes Red Fox.

313
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. And that's I never thought

314
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 3: about comedy.

315
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: Until college because people always say, oh, you're you're funny.

316
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: Why did you start doing comedy? Because people say I

317
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: was funny? It wasn't even really like that because my

318
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: friends were funny too. But in college I used to

319
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: always hold court in the cafeteria. You know what I mean.

320
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: I used to hold court in the cafeteria. And I

321
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: was real militant at the time.

322
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 3: Uh oh yeah, oh you want free days.

323
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: I was Stephen Beego. I was that dude when I

324
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: got to college. We you know, I went to Illinois

325
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: Big ten and it was about forty thousand students there

326
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: eight hundred black, about eight hundred black. Wow. But we

327
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: had the biggest fraternal and sol system in Ellen. We

328
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: had everybody. We had Spanish fraternities, We had a bunch

329
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: of white fratorneys. But we had the Kavas, the q's,

330
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: we had the alphas, we had Iota phi, theta sigma,

331
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: we had Delta's sigma, gamma row, we had a k's,

332
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: We had everybody. So we all the black people hung together,

333
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: stuck together.

334
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 3: And the athletes.

335
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: I went to school where it was Nick Anderson, Kendall Gill,

336
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, Henry Jones who played for the Bills, Yeah,

337
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: Derek Brownlow and all those.

338
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: Jeff George was our guy.

339
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, so I got militant because it was just

340
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: a small group of people. We had our little African

341
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: American Cultural Center, right that was a little dilapidated, but

342
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: they gave that to us, and so we formed this group,

343
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: you know, and we said, while we start reading books

344
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: about our people, why they're not teaching us anything. So

345
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: we got into all that shit. Spike Lee movies are playing,

346
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: do the right thing, all of that. So it was

347
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: all this and public enemies playing. We listened to the

348
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: I called Quest, the Brand Nuby and all that other

349
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: ship we're listening. So I was very militant and reading

350
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: all these different books like here we Go, Ready, Stolen

351
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: Legacy isis Papers, Francis cres Welson autobiography of Malcolm X.

352
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 3: You know we were I was reading everything.

353
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: I was reading another book, Bucks, Coon's, Mulatto's and and

354
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: Mammy's The History of Blacks in Film by Donald Bogel.

355
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: I was reading, Oh.

356
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 3: Yes, stereotypes that they still repeat now.

357
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: So I was reading all that. So I was black.

358
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 3: Everything was black right, quite the power. My father would

359
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 3: be like, what tire you doing?

360
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: What tire you what? What's all of these black It's okay,

361
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: but what they used to do your studies? You know?

362
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: But I say, Dan, you don't understand the black man

363
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: and the black woman is suffering man white supremacy. That's okay,

364
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: But we're spending money on college. You don't have to.

365
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: It's okay, it's okay.

366
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 3: You don't have to be wut you block.

367
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: You do your homework. So I was that guy. I

368
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: would go see you know, I would go see Black Speakers.

369
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: I watched Stokely Carmichael came to our you know, our

370
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: university was I was that dude, and then I started

371
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: incorporating it in like holding court. I was talking about racism,

372
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: but I'd be funny with it, you know what I'm saying.

373
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: So I said, man, and this girl, and I want

374
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: to give her a shout out.

375
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: It was a girl.

376
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: It was a rebound schick because I broke up with

377
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: the girl I was dating on campus. It's reboundcher. I'm

378
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: gonna give her props. Her name was Toya Dixon. I'm

379
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: gonna I will never forget this. I always talked about,

380
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: you know what I should do some comment I's just

381
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: doing the stand up and I remember one day I

382
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: was just riffing talking ship.

383
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: She wrote everything down on a yellow.

384
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: Piece of paper, let you know, the little yeah yeah,

385
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: what is it called legal the legal pack.

386
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 3: So she's writing all these jokes and ship and I

387
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 3: and I woke up.

388
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: I said, Yo, what is all this? She goes, remember

389
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: all the ship you were talking about yesterday was so funny.

390
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: I wrote it all down.

391
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 3: You should do this comedy thing.

392
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: So from there, I said, when I get back to

393
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: the city, because you know, Champagne Habana is a couple

394
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: of you know, it's a couple of hours away from Chicago.

395
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 3: I said, I'm going to go to the open mics.

396
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: And that's when that's when that ship the bug hit

397
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: And I remember, that's when I met with my partner

398
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: to do comedy solo and a comedy team.

399
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 3: Then you know the whole thing, and it was that's

400
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 3: how pretty much it started.

401
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: Man, And I said, I want to do comedy because

402
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm different, and I've always been very different. I'm original.

403
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: I take pride in my originality. I take pride that. Well. Listen,

404
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: here's the thing about being different. When you're different, it's

405
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: a longer road, you see, because they can't put you

406
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: in the box. But all my acting teachers say, don't

407
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: let anybody put you in the box.

408
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 3: Be a morphic.

409
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: I go, sh it ain't working, you know what I'm saying.

410
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: But I always took pride in being different. When did

411
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: they say anything about be employees? Yeah, but I mean

412
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm not listen, I've done things, you know, But I

413
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: take pride in You could see a bunch of comedians, right, yes, see,

414
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: you go to a comedy show, you see a whole

415
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: bunch of people. But a lot of times people are

416
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: doing the same kind of shit. But one thing I

417
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: took pride in for myself was that Bam. I said,

418
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: this dude was different. He was.

419
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

420
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: It's like I took pride and being doing really smart shit.

421
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: You know. That was my thing because a lot of

422
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: comedians that I know, and I'm not cracking, but a

423
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: lot of comedians that I know that look like me

424
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: are way more intelligent than a lot of than what

425
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: you see on stage right. A lot of them have degrees,

Speaker 3: He said, Okay, come next Monday, eight o'clock.

464
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: You got five motherfucking minutes and if you go in,

465
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: if you're going any further, the band go motherfucking play.

466
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: I said, all right, that's where I have my relationship

467
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: with Bernie Mack the whole night. And Bernie was impressed

468
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: by me because I was one of the first dudes

469
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: imitating him. D Ray, I was the first. I was

470
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: one of the first dudes imitating him. And he said,

471
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: the one thing I like about you gotfre is you

472
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: do that you yourself. And in the Cotton Club it

473
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: was pimps, hustlers. Bishop don Juan, yes, he saw me

474
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: when I first started. Bishop don Juan from Chicago. Lisa

475
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: Ray used to come through the bulls. You see, Michael Jordan,

476
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: a mod rashad you see. Yeah, so it was it

477
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: was a whole Chicago black elite. And yeah.

478
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 3: So Bernie was like, you don't even change your You

479
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 3: don't even you could do mainstream.

480
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: You stay the same. I said, well, that's what I

481
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: think is the best about comedy is being yourself and

482
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: being true to yourself. You know what I'm saying, because

483
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: real gangsters, no, if you fake right, you know what?

484
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: I had cattle? Obviously I had. Yeah. And I see that.

485
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: I ask him. And it's funny that you say that.

486
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: You said mainstream and then you say the black. So

487
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: when you in front of a black audience, yes, you

488
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: do comedy one way, but if you're in front of

489
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: a mainly white audience, do you change No. And here's

490
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: the thing you tell saying Joe's man with black audiences,

491
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: because there's so I travel around the country. I've been

492
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: a headliner for more than fifteen years, and when I

493
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: travel around the country, there's some cities where it's all black,

494
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: Like if I'm in Cleveland, yeah, yeah, if I'm in Baltimore,

495
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: it's black. But I still do the same. But the

496
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: thing about talking about race, because I'm a race guy,

497
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: I love going in even all all white audiences.

498
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 4: I go in.

499
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 3: I don't go, hey, man, it's racism. We need to

500
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 3: stop that shit.

501
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: I go now, let me tell you about you guys,

502
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: let me tell you about your little microaggressions.

503
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 3: You know, I go in, but it's a craft. If

504
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 3: you can craft it right. I do Trump Trump support.

505
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: I do. I do the South Trump support. And I'm

506
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: talking about fucking He'll billy motherfuckers. You know you're from the.

507
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 3: South, right, of course you've seen them Southerners in the mouth.

508
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: Don't move what right now?

509
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 3: You ain't he dying right there.

510
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: Where they fucking the Yeah, they fuck with me. But

511
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: it depends on how you It depends on how you

512
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: navigate the joke. You know, I never changed black people.

513
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: Just make you more loose, you know what I'm saying.

514
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: You're your people. But what you gotta be funny? You

515
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: Oh no, No, funny is funny. And there's people who

516
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: are the ghetto comics that are funny and there's the

517
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: intelligent ones that are funny.

518
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 3: That it depends on the person.

519
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: Funny is funny, don't give a fuck what you're doing

520
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: juggling whatever funny is funny. So I never changed my ship.

521
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: And one thing about I know about black audiences, they

522
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: like it if you're keeping it real you're from Louble.

523
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: But they like it when you're talking about that pro

524
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: black shit too. They like both of that because whenever

525
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking about it that you can hear people preach dog,

526
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about. Hell yeah, you see what

527
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I got so I'm able to craft

528
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: that because I really I am a student of the game.

529
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: I'm a student of comedy. I don't I really study

530
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: the people that have been before me. I am white, black,

531
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: I know my comedy history.

532
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. So that's very important.

533
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: And I like to be.

534
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 3: Intelligent on stage. I like, I'm the kind of comic

535
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 3: that doesn't use.

536
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: The end word. Because we had a debate about that. Okay,

537
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: you know about there's comics I see. You know that

538
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 1: it'll be a majority audience that don't look like us,

539
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: and they'll use that word over and over. And I go,

540
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: are these people laughing because the joke is funny or

541
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: are they laughing because nigga is funny? Right? Because nigga

542
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,320

00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: a funny word.

544
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: God damn, that word is funny.

545
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: It's the top. It's the Nike of racial slurs. Yes,

546

Speaker 3: It is nigga hilarious. Right, here come this ball. Hit ass, brother.

551
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,640

552
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 3: it's a little. It's a little spice on that.

553
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: Right. And I and I and I had we had

554
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: a debate about that. I say, well, why do you

555
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: use the word Why do you use that word.

556
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 3: In front of people? When you're really not like that.

557
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: I understand cats that are like that, like Cat Williams

558
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: when he does it, it it matches. It's yeah, it's

559
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: certain people that you go, yeah, I get that, But

560
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: there's some other cats that I go, yo, you're not

561
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: even like that. But when you get in front of

562
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: a certain audience, you use it in front of them.

563
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's irresponsible. Listen, I'm not telling

564
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: anybody how to do comedy, but I just feel weird

565
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: doing it. I don't even use it in front of

566
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: black audiences. Okay, you know yeah, but for me, this

567
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: is my style.

568
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 3: This is my style.

569
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: But when I do use the word the N word,

570
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: I'm making a point about the N word because I

571
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: have a joke about the double G words. Right, you

572
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: know what I mean double G words. Something about the

573
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: double G word, like you got the N word, you

574
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: got the F word two gs. And then if you

575
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: know Harry Potter, you ever know about Harry Potter. I'm

576
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: a Harry Potter fan. Where there's a muggle, they call

577
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: him a muggle. That means he ain't a he's a

578
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: half prince. He's bullshit, So they call him. They say,

579
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: you're in muggle Harry Potter. And it's almost like saying

580
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: that when you're watching Harry party, like is he talking

581
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: to me? Oh, Harry Potter's a Muggle? Can you believe

582
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: that you're in muggle Harry Potter? And I'm like, this

583
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: is he calling me? You know?

584
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: So I talk about the phonetic.

585
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: I'm into words because I'm a big George Carlin fan,

586
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: big Carling fan, big Prior fan, and it's all wordplay

587
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: for me, you know.

588
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 3: I'm really into the art.

589
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: Form of this shit. So yeah, the N word thing is,

590
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, that's just for me. I'm not telling anybody

591
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: how to do comedy. I don't want anybody to conflate

592
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: this ship, but that's I'm very I just want to

593
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: know why people use it. Someone told me, well, I

594
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: don't want them to don't want it. I feel comfortable

595
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: saying it because I'm not going to let them determine.

596
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: You know how I say the word. I'm not I'm

597
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: taking the word back. I said that was never your word.

598
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: What do you mean you taking it back? They gave

599
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: it to you, you know what I'm saying. So if

600
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: it desensitizes the word? Really so when they call you

601
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: the name out of vitriol, then you react to it,

602
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: you get mad. So how is it desensitizing you? I'm

603
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: just saying, if someone calls your name, you shouldn't even flinch.

604
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: You go. I say it so much it doesn't even

605
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: bother me, but it still stings.

606
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: That's all. It's just a debate we're still having with

607
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 3: the N word.

Speaker 1: Trump don't notice it. It'd be like, this guy's a

770
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: piece of shit. You always he's trying to be a

771
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: tough guy.

772
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 3: I never liked you.

773
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: Your wife's a crisis, your waves christis, you're a beach

774
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 1: of shit. I know oil, watch of oil, Yeah, olive oil,

775
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: vegetable oil. So he would you know. So I just

776
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: started to get it, and I started getting I started

777
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: watching him more. And he's New York. He's from New York, right,

778
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: So when he goes I chalk to him, there's that accent.

779
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: I say, I hear that I chalked to him the

780
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: other day. So he's still got to put.

781
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 3: The New York thing in that. So there's little nuances

782
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 3: I catch.

783
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: How how important are the mannerisms because when you do

784
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey, you do all of his mannerisms. When you

785
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: do Trump, you do the mannerisms. You've really honed in

786
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: on that aspect.

787
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to.

788
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: You have to mannerisms count because it's the person. You're

789
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 1: being the person. It's like as an actor, you're being

790
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: the person, like if you prior shit, God damn, your

Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty people for eight hours.

820
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,040

848
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: I can start doing you. One of the comic one

849
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: of my comic colleagues that I started imitating was Dion Cole.

850
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: Really yeah, Dion Cole, when like, yo, man, you sound

851

00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: how you do that?

853
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 3: Ship.

854
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: So I start imitating my friends so I could just

855
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: if I hear it and it's in my range, I go,

856
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 1: I think I can do it.

857
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

858
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: So that's where Yeah, the Trump sneakers. Trump is selling sneakers.

859
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: You get a pair Black people love sneakers. And let

860
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: me tell you something.

861
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 7: I released it because I'm a genius. I released it

862
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 7: during Black History Month, perfect month.

863
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: For black people. I didn't get the sneakers, but they

864
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: weren't that bad looking. I ain't go front. They weren'tas

865
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: painting them. They were just simple. I bad shoes, sneakers

866
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: like that, but they just painted them. It's Trump pushing them.

867
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: I don't even think they're made. I think their pre order.

868
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they're even completed. Right, you know what

869
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think it's bullshit. Did you get some No? No,

870
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: I did. Not better than your sneakerssha way better. So

871
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: what do you think his chances are winning? I think

872
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: they're He's trying to do something the only Grover Cleveland

873
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: has ever done, hold the office, lose the office, win it.

874
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,439
Speaker 3: Back, sort of like Michael Jordan. You know what I'm saying.

875
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: But I think he might win it. I listen, man,

876
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: he won the first time. We thought held on no chance,

877
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: and he might he might. Wait, look at he has

878
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: eight thousand felonies, eight thousand felonies, and this motherfuckers has

879
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: a chance. I think Biden just right. He just got

880
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: the Democratic guest nod. Yes, I don't even know if

881
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,959
Speaker 1: he knows, but I got the nod.

882
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 3: Come on, I got the nod.

883
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think they're gonna estimate I don't think there.

884
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: I don't think people are underestimating former President Trump like

885
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: they did in twenty sixteen, because he's held the office,

886
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: so you know he's capable of holding it again. And

887
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: the thing about Trump is he never stays out of

888
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: the public. He's always still connecting to it, whether it's

889
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 1: some bullshit, He's always in their presence. Trump is always present.

890
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: I think about Trump, I'll say, what is Trump doing

891
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: right now? I'll think about Trump, and he's just he's

892
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 1: a businessman. He's all about being in front of people.

893
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: He wants you to say his name. That's one thing

894
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: about business people. They want you, whether it's bad or good,

895
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: just say my name, right Trump, I don't give damn

896
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: if you hate me. But the one thing Trump has

897
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: a weakness of is not paying attention to him. If

898
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: you're indifferent, that's his weakness. But if you go, fuck

899
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: you Trump, He's like, this is great people.

900
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, He's like Thanos.

901
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

902
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 3: The more you hate him, the stronger he gets, you

903
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying.

904
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: So he might have he might win it. I don't know,

905
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: you know how this country gets of course, you know

906
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: when the good old boys go down there, we.

00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 1: He loved using different words, and so I was like,

1075
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: that's made me focus on words, because comedy is an

1076
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: art form of words, syntax. It's about how you say it.

1077
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,919
Speaker 1: Some people some I see some jokes and like, even

1078
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: for myself, I'm hard on myself. If I see a

1079
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: joke and it's too lazy, I go, it could be

1080
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: better than that. And I watch Carlin, I go, damn.

1081
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 1: Even if the joke wasn't that funny to you, but

1082
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: the work he put in it, you go, god damn,

1083
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:53,760
Speaker 1: that was brilliant.

1084
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

1085
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: It's like it's his word play and the things that

1086
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: he says about society out white supremacy. A white guy

1087
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: saying it to white people is very important. Yes, an

1088
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 1: Irish guy from Harlem. It's important that this white guy

1089
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 1: is saying, you know, y'all ain't shit. You feel me?

1090
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: Has someone that Have you ever heard a joke? Yeah,

1091
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 1: and you're like, I could have done that joke better. Yes,

1092
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: And then there's some jokes where I go, Damn, he

1093
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: got that that's the best or she got that that

1094
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: was the best take I've seen. I've seen somewhere I

00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: any something like that to that.

1173
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if he was answering Faison.

1174
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:10,800
Speaker 1: I think it was him and Faison going at it

1175
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: because Faison's my dude, right, everybody be going in Fason,

00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:20,840

1178
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 1: the comedy clubs, you're not a real comedian.

1179
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 3: I think he said that.

1180
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,359
Speaker 1: Am I wrong? Something did that say? And I think

1183
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 3: D l's in.

1184
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,959
Speaker 1: The comedy clubs are still being built. They're not fading away.

1185
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: If you do theaters, that's like a blessing. But theaters

1186
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: are multipurpose rooms. Comedy clubs usually are just for comedy.

1187
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 1: Comedians of all statues do comedy clubs. There's the rare

1188
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: moments you have. You know, Chappelle still comes to comedy

1189
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:56,280
Speaker 1: clubs and works all his ship. Seinfeld, who's a billionaire,

1190
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: still comes to the comedy But I think I'm saying

1191
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: I might be I might be think what he was saying. Yeah,

1192
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: that's his only choice is to do those The people

1193
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,879
Speaker 1: that you mentioned can do arenas, they can do theaters. Yeah,

1194
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 1: he's saying that he probably the only thing he can do. Okay,

1195
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, shit, so what does that make me? Because

1196
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 1: it's not easy. First of all, it's not easy to

1197
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 1: fill a comedy club, even if it's a three hundred seater,

1198
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: four hundred eater, it's not easy. Like, there's people who

1199
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: have been fortunate, especially with the Algarithm.

1200

Speaker 1: That's my spot, comedy seller in New York City. But

1236
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,479
Speaker 1: I was doing five shows a night, well, five shows

1237
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: a night on the weekdays. Then on the weekends, I

1238
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: do an eight or nine, eight or nine shows. Yeah,

1239
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,880

Speaker 3: Yeah one is the best, but we were. That's how

1243
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 3: you did it.

1244
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: You just ran all over the city and there was

1245
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 1: sometimes there'll be a club down the block, so you

1246
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: can go on stage there, you go over there, hit that. Yeah.

1247
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 1: So I would start at about seven am, at seven

1248
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: pm and then end at around three am. So I

1249
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: was doing comedy and this is consistent. There's no breaks.

1250
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 3: This is consistent. Shit. Comedy takes that much work. It's

1251
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 3: really a sport.

1252
00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: It's a sport. You gotta go out there and you

1253
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: gotta put period.

1254
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 3: You can't cheat it. I don't give fuck who you are.

1255
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 3: You can't cheat. It is that how you get good

1256
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 3: at the craft.

1257
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: You god damn right, and then you and you know

1258
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: what's funny is when you're on stage, they see the difference.

1259
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 1: They see the difference, they see the wordplay, they see

1260
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: the transition. You get those nuances. As you stay on

1261
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: stage a lot, you have to I don't know. Somebody

1262
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: told me it was a young common said no, one day,

1263
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to skip steps in comedy. I said,

1264
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: just because you get on a TV show faster than

1265
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 1: a veteran, don't mean you're good at it. Because I'm

1266
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: not trying to be an asshole. But a lot of

1267
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 1: these companies are skipping a lot of comedians that are ready.

1268
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 3: There's a lot of because people ask me, when are

1269
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 3: you getting your next on Netflix?

1270
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 1: But I said, they don't really approach me. They don't

1271
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: really approach a lot, not just me, but they don't.

1272
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 3: Approach a lot of us.

01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: an hour. You can tell somebody ain't ready by the

01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: have nothing to say, but we had funny quips here

1374
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 1: and there. Right, Well, it takes years to get your

1375
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 1: voice in comedy. It's ten years. Ten years.

1376
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 3: I'm giving a fuck.

1377
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 1: Here's here's an example. I was sitting with Seinfeld. Yes,

1378
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 1: I said it. I was sitting with Seinfeld. He was

1379
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: doing a documentary called Comedian. I'm in that documentary. This

1380
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: is when he was making his comeback after Seinfeld. He

1381
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 1: was coming back to comedy. So he would come to

1382
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 1: the comedy Seller and hang out with me and hang

1383
01:05:57,960 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 1: out with all of us. And one day he asked

1384
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 1: me how long you've been doing comedy? I said, and

1385
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 1: I stuck my chest. I said, nah, about nine years now,

1386
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 1: going on ten. He's like, okay, you're a nine year

1387
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: old in comedy. Then that's your comedy age. Always remember that,

1388
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 1: that's your age in comedy. I never forgot that. My

1389
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: age in comedy is about twenty seven years now. Yeah,

1390
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 1: I've been doing it almost thirty years, you know what

1391
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: I mean. And then and I see, I see why

1392
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 1: it takes so long because it's effortless for me now.

1393
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 1: But but I still see the difficulty in it because

1394
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: I can do one hour now, I gotta do a

1395
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 1: whole different around. When you see Chris Rock, Chris Rock

1396
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: is a technician. He'll go in, come in in the

1397
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: comedy club, work on his shit, work on it shit.

1398
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 1: Siepold does the same shit. Ray Romonald still comes in.

1399
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: These guys are multimillionaires, but because it's a craft, because

1400
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 1: the comedy is always better than you. I always comedy

1401
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,919
Speaker 1: is always better than you because you always gotta redouce something.

1402
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 1: You always got a story to tell. You never if

1403
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: you get to conceal a lot. And that's another thing

1404
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 1: about social media. It's making these motherfuckers cocky. They come

1405
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 1: around thinking because hey man, I got it million followers.

1406

1414
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,439
Speaker 1: in the social media phase. But I try to tell them, dog,

1456
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:16,599

1457
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: you can't do. But for some reason, comedy is that

1458
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 1: one art form where everybody feels they're your equal, even

1459
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 1: the comedians have been doing it two years teep through

1460
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 1: your equal, and I don't like it. I think comedy

1461
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 1: should be like the army. Like that's what I love

1462
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: about the armed forces. I'm a general, you're a fucking cadet.

1463
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 1: You stand at attention when I walk in. When I

1464
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 1: see George Wallace, I just saw. I just did a

1465
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:44,760
Speaker 1: show at our senial hall. By the way, one of

1466
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 1: the nicest men I've ever met. I've never met our city.

1467
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: Our citio is a fucking legend with people don't understand

1468
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 1: our senior I went.

Speaker 9: I've been watching you. He's like Godfrey.

1472
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 1: He goes, I've been watching you since the pandemic. And

1473
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 1: I said, I gotta salute you. You're a general, man,

1474
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 1: you're a five star. We gotta like rank and file

1475
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 1: has to happen. It's like in the rookie you know.

1476
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 1: You know I walked on the team in Illinois, did

1477
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:23,599
Speaker 1: you I did on a dare. I did it because

1478
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: I was doing trying to do track and field and

1479
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't really sure. And then this dude named Marlon Primus.

1480
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying his name, Marlon Primus. He came up with

1481
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:32,799
Speaker 1: Henry Jones.

1482
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:35,639
Speaker 3: So this dude was so talented.

1483
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 1: He played our free sea was our free safety, six

1484
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 1: foot four, could throw the ball a mile because sometimes

1485
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:44,600
Speaker 1: we'd be on the field just fucking around practicing, and

1486
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 1: he could.

1487
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 3: Throw the I said, my god, man, you can throw.

1488
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 3: He could punt.

1489
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 1: I go, how come you're not a quarterback? He goes,

1490
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: because in Illinois they didn't want any black quarterbacks. They

1491
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 1: kept all the white, didn't. They converted all the black

1492
01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:58,560
Speaker 1: dudes into defensive guys. And he said, And he was

1493
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 1: from La so he'd be like YOUZ, it's like you

1494
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: should you should try out, cuz I dare you try?

1495
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 1: So I tried out and I made the team. Didn't start.

Speaker 3: three years.

1500
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:16,080

1501
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:19,599
Speaker 1: multiple systems delivering your product or services, the more margin

1502
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:21,680
Speaker 1: you have and the more money you keep. But with

1503
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: higher expenses on material, employees, distribution, borring, everything costs more

1504
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:29,600

1510
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:49,920
