Speaker 4: as I can't stand y'all in the absence of somebody,

Speaker 4: hot somewhere. It was a very viral video that went

Speaker 1: First off, I was.
Speaker 4: I was in Los Angeles, California, and I had the
Speaker 4: opportunity to meet with somebody that regard and in the
Speaker 4: highest manner that you know. I came in here and
Speaker 4: I've sung the I Lose Control song for the longest time,
Speaker 4: probably for the last couple of years, I've been used
Speaker 4: as Teddy Swims correct Teddy Swim. So I had the opportunity.

Speaker 4: I don't know if you ever drink, do you.
Speaker 3: Want because you know how we come.
Speaker 4: On according to the streets, that I need to slow
Speaker 4: down on my drinking. I think I didn't ask for
Speaker 4: your opinion, mister perfect and uh. I went to comedy
Speaker 4: Roles hosted by Jeff Ross and the Negro.
Speaker 3: After the shots.
Speaker 4: After the shots, and it was a platform where comics
Speaker 4: go on stage and they do their three or four
Speaker 4: men's worth of roasting, and then you, as a guest,
Speaker 4: a guest host or u now host, a guest judge,
Speaker 4: you critique those people on what you thought their comedy
Speaker 4: meant or in that moment. And I didn't have a
Speaker 4: lot of favorable things to say about them, to which
Speaker 4: the negro on the show, UH encouraged the audience whenever
Speaker 4: I spoke to Boomy. So to your point of a boot,
Speaker 4: he told me to do it, you said, the negro said,
Speaker 4: how long is he.
Speaker 1: Going to do this? I'm sorry, go ahead, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not doing it. And it was a situation.
Speaker 1: It was, it was.
Speaker 4: It was a misunderstanding. They bowed me. But it wasn't
Speaker 4: like a boot boo it was it was. It wasn't
Speaker 4: a boot like that. You got different boods. You got
Speaker 4: the fuck out of here. Your ship is corny boot.
Speaker 4: Then you got a boot that when people, uh, when
Speaker 4: they encouraged someone to do that, and that's what happened
Speaker 4: at night.
Speaker 2: And they bowed you. They bowed you a lot. Every
Speaker 2: time you spoke, you got on stage, they booed you.
Speaker 2: How did it make you feel?
Speaker 1: It means no, I'm too funny to be.
Speaker 5: Getting bulled too, because you actually are like I told you,
Speaker 5: like when I saw you at Radio City Music Hall,
Speaker 5: was like I've seen you before, and I was like,
Speaker 5: you're funny cutting.
Speaker 1: People off again? Period? Jesus Christ insta cutting people off again?
Speaker 1: Oh man?
Speaker 2: What that means?
Speaker 1: All right? Now? Christ?
Speaker 4: Did we raise our Handkirters? We get a bail of
Speaker 4: something that God damn order in the court. A lot
Speaker 4: of people missing the day.
Speaker 3: That's why you dressed like that. You came in here
Speaker 3: and thinking this was no.
Speaker 1: I just feel I feel like an adult today. Connected.
Speaker 2: I asked you a real question, Donald Rawlins, And if
Speaker 2: you haven't seen the video, yes, he was booed and uh,
Speaker 2: the host of the show told him every time he
Speaker 2: spoke to boom.
Speaker 4: I thought it was hilarius because of course you're person,
Speaker 4: of course, But but I actually like you.
Speaker 1: But do you think I don't? I'm not concerned about
Speaker 1: you liking me? All right? Okay? Fine?
Speaker 2: Seriously, do you think people take you serious enough like
Speaker 2: they do? Do you feel like they play with you
Speaker 2: too much? Because I feel like they wouldn't play with
Speaker 2: certain comics like that. But they feel like they play
Speaker 2: with you all the.
Speaker 1: Time like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they played too much my whole life, played
Speaker 4: too much my whole life. People thought I played too
Speaker 4: much when I was Korea. They didn't know how to
Speaker 4: say this, nigga play too much of Korean, so they
Speaker 4: would say too much a gameplay, And I was that's me.
Speaker 4: I'm a gameplay motherfucker. I'm the right position. They just
Speaker 4: to say that all the time, you have too much
Speaker 4: a gameplay every day?
Speaker 1: You why all the time? I'm not being funny. That's
Speaker 1: how the Korean is told.
Speaker 2: Why you heavy day?
Speaker 1: But it's get upset with me?
Speaker 4: Lawley's you every day? You all the time? Bullshit all
Speaker 4: the time? Shigara, he took job. You don't speak Korean?
Speaker 4: That shut up and be quiet?
Speaker 1: But why did they play jo shuk it all?
Speaker 2: But why did they play with you? Like they don't
Speaker 2: play with They don't play with ball, They don't play
Speaker 2: with any of the comedians that's on this wall. But
Speaker 2: they play with you all the time. It's like they
Speaker 2: almost try to take the fact that you are famous,
Speaker 2: the fact that you are successful, the fact that you
Speaker 2: are funny and try to downplay it all the time.
Speaker 2: Why do you think that is?
Speaker 1: You want to know the real answer to that? Please?
Speaker 1: Because of you, motherfucker?
Speaker 4: What do you mean?
Speaker 1: You in this platform? That's why?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 4: Because y'all played too much. Y'all started with booty tricks.
Speaker 4: Y'all started with what black big answers?
Speaker 3: Can I cut you off?
Speaker 1: Can you come off?
Speaker 2: Start with you?
Speaker 1: It would not be you.
Speaker 3: You didn't start with the booty tricks.
Speaker 5: It started when you tried to come here and it
Speaker 5: was something like with your dad or remember the moment
Speaker 5: when Charlomagne's laughing at him.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's when you wrote a book about his dad.
Speaker 1: Ye.
Speaker 4: First of all, you probably was in high school when
Speaker 4: I first started doing this show. Okay, so your facts
Speaker 4: are incorrect. That's not how it started. The first time
Speaker 4: is the.
Speaker 3: One that we I'm cutting you off again?
Speaker 5: No you okay, I'm okay, yeah, all right, I'm just
Speaker 5: checking on you.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 5: The one that I most know of is the moment
Speaker 5: your dad in the book. And I felt bad for
Speaker 5: you in that moment too.
Speaker 4: I felt bad for myself at that moment. It was very,
Speaker 4: very awkward. He had a good time with that. You
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. When he speaks about his dad
Speaker 4: or whatever, I'm like, oh, that's so good. The fact
Speaker 4: that his father was a po po and then the military,
Speaker 4: our kind of paths were parallels. So I support him
Speaker 4: and in relationship he has.
Speaker 1: With his father.
Speaker 4: Now, when I wanted to get really serious and talk
Speaker 4: about some childhood childhood, tryal in my life. They thought
Speaker 4: it was a joke. So back to your question, how
Speaker 4: did this start? And just to answer your question, you
Speaker 4: motherfucker the lack of respect that you guys have had,
Speaker 4: but I've mustered through it.
Speaker 1: I'm a better person.
Speaker 2: So you think because you come up here and play
Speaker 2: with us, you think people play with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I think that's the part of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you seriously think that.
Speaker 1: I answered the question once?
Speaker 3: YEA be joking.
Speaker 1: So you're going to just keep asking a questions? Do
Speaker 1: you get to answer that you want?
Speaker 3: That's what I do.
Speaker 1: See what they be saying.
Speaker 3: Now, So.
Speaker 2: How do we change his narrative down now? Because I
Speaker 2: don't like the fact. I mean, you know what it is.
Speaker 2: You know, you know when you're dating somebody and you're
Speaker 2: like I could argue with her, but nobody else can
Speaker 2: I feel like that with us, Like we can make
Speaker 2: fun of you, but the world should be able to
Speaker 2: make fun of you. But like, I feel like they
Speaker 2: take your comedy lightly, but we don't take your comedy
Speaker 2: like nobody.
Speaker 4: That's a couple of people to take my comedy lightly,
Speaker 4: And I don't care about that. But nobody takes me lightly.
Speaker 4: It's just that, And I will say whatever I go.
Speaker 4: The first thing he says, why do you let the
Speaker 4: breakfast club.
Speaker 1: Fucking me like that?
Speaker 4: I said, I don't let them fuck with you. Yeah,
Speaker 4: like you know, the praise like they don't, they don't, they.
Speaker 3: Don't interrupt that one.
Speaker 4: Man, I said so many god damn prayers before I
Speaker 4: came up here today.
Speaker 1: Man, I wasn't. I didn't come here for that envy.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to talk to you because I really want
Speaker 2: to get your feelings and your expressions out there, because
Speaker 2: I don't like how people play with you. You know,
Speaker 2: the booing thing is funny, it's hilarious. I thought it
Speaker 2: was funny.
Speaker 1: It's nothing funny about you.
Speaker 4: It's the most traumatic thing you could deal with as
Speaker 4: a comedian, especially when when you when like when it's
Speaker 4: because you weren't funny, and the situation I had wasn't
Speaker 4: because I wasn't funny.
Speaker 1: It was just it was a setup, that's what it was.
Speaker 5: But that's a laquer I didn't I didn't like watching
Speaker 5: it because I was like, Okay, maybe this is what
Speaker 5: they do on that over there, but like I feel
Speaker 5: like it was a lack of respect, and I don't
Speaker 5: like that.
Speaker 1: I mean it was I wouldn't say it was a misunderstand.
Speaker 2: There's no tricks going on to that.
Speaker 1: It's no, I don't know what going on.
Speaker 2: There's nothing. We just having a real conversation.
Speaker 1: Listen, things happen.
Speaker 3: Mince is not here today.
Speaker 4: I noticed that so much better. Things happen as a
Speaker 4: committed of things happen. And then at the end of
Speaker 4: the day is what you do with those things that
Speaker 4: have happened. That incident I had with Jeff Ross and
Speaker 4: that roast battle, you know, it's a lot of things
Speaker 4: that could have happened that that I could have switched
Speaker 4: the situation I was lit. I'm not gonna lie about that.
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, it's what when
Speaker 4: things happen. It's like they always say, can you turned
Speaker 4: lemon into lemonade? So they tried to tag with mister
Speaker 4: crash out. I am a crash out motherfucker. It's because
Speaker 4: of people in relationships that I have with people like yourself,
Speaker 4: like with her, she's absent today, he queen, Oh.
Speaker 2: Charlomanne for the girls?
Speaker 1: What was that when?
Speaker 5: So the video you referenced when Charlomagne was dropping it
Speaker 5: like it's hot and given all ballroom, in the ballroom,
Speaker 5: we call her maka minace.
Speaker 4: Monchael, minness, what's up monch minute? And it wasn't like
Speaker 4: it was like I practiced that like he practiced that
Speaker 4: at home and he finally had the platform to uh
Speaker 4: to drop it for everybody.
Speaker 2: I'm sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But back to that would saying, so, so, how do
Speaker 2: you change that narrative? Because I feel like you let
Speaker 2: people trick you out of your position.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: It started with the wh when the commedy called you
Speaker 2: mild and you was upset about that and you crashed
Speaker 2: out about that. Then with the bow and you crashed
Speaker 2: out about that.
Speaker 4: But because it's not true, son, there is nothing that's
Speaker 4: not There is nothing that's mild about me.
Speaker 2: After there's nobody not the door, the door closed, Get scared, yo.
Speaker 4: The reason why because there's no facts to make that
Speaker 4: make sense. After thirty years doing comedy, I've never ever
Speaker 4: once heard anybody called me mil so it's like this.
Speaker 4: It's like an assassination of somebody's character. When you put
Speaker 4: something out there and it's not true, you can be
Speaker 4: upset about it. I have to, and I'm thinking about
Speaker 4: getting a therapist. I have to learn how to deal
Speaker 4: with stuff like that and not take it so personal.
Speaker 1: But there's a couple of words.
Speaker 4: There's in words in comedy that when you said people
Speaker 4: get offended about a corny and whack those two words.
Speaker 4: It's almost like fight words in comedy. And it's not
Speaker 4: a person. I'm not a person who had a career
Speaker 4: where I go back or forth. One year he's funny,
Speaker 4: one year he's not, or whatever. Okay, I've been tearing
Speaker 4: up stages forever. And that's not just me saying it.
Speaker 4: It's anybody to come on any comment that come on
Speaker 4: this platform would agree that I'm a funny motherfucker. So
Speaker 4: when you put that out there, I take offense to it,
Speaker 4: but I shouldn't. I shouldn't take it that serious. And
Speaker 4: usually people like that, the ones that talk the most
Speaker 4: shit are the ones that are doing the least shit in
Speaker 4: this business?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Well, you know Charlamage always says nobody cares about the
Speaker 2: truth and the lives more entertaining. But when when you
Speaker 2: allow it and you crash out about it and it
Speaker 2: shows people you bother you, people gonna keep attacking that same.
Speaker 4: Thing over and over and over again. I mean, and
Speaker 4: you allow them to do it. I don't know why
Speaker 4: I'm doing anything. You're a perfect example of that, because
Speaker 4: you fucking with me.
Speaker 1: Now I'm not I'm asking, like, I'm not joking.
Speaker 4: I don't trust I do not trust your face. You
Speaker 4: don't but I don't, But I'm asking. I don't trust you.
Speaker 4: Why you could go eight episodes and answer the question
Speaker 4: why motherfuckers it's a whole. It's counted you put down
Speaker 4: and ross, breakfast up, everything starts off but a god
Speaker 4: damn joke.
Speaker 1: So I don't trust you and I have my guards up.
Speaker 3: Are you really gonna do therapy?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: Is that a real thing?
Speaker 5: I think I possibly might need therapy because just in
Speaker 5: life you have some like things you need to figure out,
Speaker 5: or because the way like you're not like you don't
Speaker 5: like the responses you're getting to your comedy relationship that
Speaker 5: I have.
Speaker 1: With certain people.
Speaker 3: Okay, but I know you know you part of it.
Speaker 3: To me, you came up and you know each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you brought this baby like you're part of the joke.
Speaker 2: Like it's not like we just crack on you. You
Speaker 2: crack on us.
Speaker 3: Well everything I know, a.
Speaker 2: Boy, the end of this, this conversation is going to
Speaker 2: be a real estate joke. I know that real estate joke.
Speaker 1: Some one. You don't do real estate, you've been see.
Speaker 1: I'm just that's not a joke.
Speaker 3: That's you real estate.
Speaker 4: Do you still follow certain people? It's not a real
Speaker 4: estate joke. It's real. You don't do real estate. Okay,
Speaker 4: I didn't know. It's not as promoted as it used
Speaker 4: to be.
Speaker 1: See, that's not a joke. But I know I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get that from you.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't It doesn't bother me.
Speaker 4: It doesn't affect me because maybe with two different people
Speaker 4: envy why you turn around because I just not. I
Speaker 4: just don't feel comfortable this situation.
Speaker 1: That's why.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what's next for you when it comes to
Speaker 2: to comedy, Because it seems like.
Speaker 1: You're forming this city winery in New York this weekend.
Speaker 2: It seems like you're always trying to prove yourself.
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to prove myself. That's next for me
Speaker 4: in comedy. Another thing is next for me. I have
Speaker 4: this thing that I do called donelle Land and it's
Speaker 4: something similar to what you do in regard to providing
Speaker 4: something for the community. I do this five Days and
Speaker 4: Yellow Springs, Ohio, which consists of a lot of activities
Speaker 4: for the family with the canoeing, kayaking, sound bath, nature
Speaker 4: walk of Sunday Funday, celebrity kickball game, streets versus the creeks,
Speaker 4: and then it comes to a climax on Monday, Memorial Day,
Speaker 4: Monday with the river Run that We've had at least
Speaker 4: four hundred people participating in that and that's happening again
Speaker 4: this year and that's the weekend of Memorial Day.
Speaker 1: That's what Donnelle's doing. I love that.
Speaker 4: So with Dave Chapelle, your close friend, Yeah, what does
Speaker 4: he tell you when you go through a lot of
Speaker 4: the stuff that you go through, Because I mean, you
Speaker 4: put out a special and I thought the special was Hilary.
Speaker 4: You tell me don't engage, but you do so you
Speaker 4: don't listen to your friend, that's filthy rich, that's been
Speaker 4: doing it.
Speaker 1: I don't listen to a lot of people.
Speaker 4: And that's why a lot of situations I get in,
Speaker 4: Because so many situations I've been in, it could have
Speaker 4: been like, why did you respond that? I don't care
Speaker 4: how anybody want, anybody want to say. It's the hardest
Speaker 4: thing to do is not to respond to negativity. And
Speaker 4: part of I know whenever I sit down and talk
Speaker 4: to therapists, the first thing they're going to do is
Speaker 4: tell me, Donielle, don't read the comments, to which I'm
Speaker 4: going to read each and every one of those comments.
Speaker 3: You also be in the comments too.
Speaker 4: You in the comments too, But every other page I go, no,
Speaker 4: every other yes, I didn't say that. I just I'm
Speaker 4: not calling. I'm just telling you. Social media exact the
Speaker 4: same wouldn't be like but like you for the tweets,
Speaker 4: You're for the tweets.
Speaker 2: But it's hard. But there's so many comedians. There's so
Speaker 2: many comedians like you. Look at Gary Owen, shut up,
Speaker 2: get in trouble. You look at Ryan Davis, You look
Speaker 2: at all these comedians that want Netflix specials that Netflix
Speaker 2: hasn't offered them anything. And you got a Netflix special,
Speaker 2: you're working on another one. So you're blessed beyond belief.
Speaker 2: You're you're doing comedy in front of hundreds of thousands
Speaker 2: of people. So you to the opportunities that most don't.
Speaker 2: But I feel like you're always trying to prove yourself.
Speaker 2: But I understand why, because you're funny at shit, Like
Speaker 2: you know, you know I come and support you, Right,
Speaker 2: It's just I'm coming this weekend.
Speaker 1: I didn't invite you.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you give me tickets.
Speaker 4: You're just gonna barge in, all right, I know I
Speaker 4: could tell I hear you in the lobby.
Speaker 1: No it's not.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you a lot of things that I engage
Speaker 4: and I shouldn't engage in. And that's part of me.
Speaker 4: That's part of me trying to find some growth, and
Speaker 4: that's part of me. I like, I really do think
Speaker 4: that I probably could use or benefit from having a
Speaker 4: therapist or talk to a therapists, and it's something I
Speaker 4: had to deal with it until then, I'll continue to
Speaker 4: be funny. But I'll tell you one thing that anytime
Speaker 4: I have an incident, what it does to me for
Speaker 4: my fight back is that it makes me more creative.
Speaker 4: It makes me want to go on stage and just
Speaker 4: destroy room, and it makes me want to produce something funny.
Speaker 4: Even the incident that you're talking about with Jeff Ross
Speaker 4: and I made a song about it. The only way
Speaker 4: I could deal with it is to try to bring
Speaker 4: some human and really pushes me to be more creative
Speaker 4: and get in my production mode.
Speaker 1: That's what I do. That's why I fight.
Speaker 3: Why did you want to make a song?
Speaker 4: Because I was tired of explaining what happened that day
Speaker 4: and the song was lost control. I lost control that day.
Speaker 4: I lost control when I had drinks with Teddy and
Speaker 4: I was like, that's a funny way to dress instead
Speaker 4: of me really express how I feel, like, fuck the motherfuckers.
Speaker 4: I don't give a fuck by And I said, why
Speaker 4: don't I try to make it funny and spin it
Speaker 4: and I'll take control of the narrative when I do
Speaker 4: stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Next question, now, what about your drinking? It has your
Speaker 2: drinking and an issue and a problem.
Speaker 4: No, I've never been dropped problem. Why are you looking
Speaker 4: at me in my face like that?
Speaker 2: I mean it might have been an incident before what
Speaker 2: you're drinking. And every time there's a situation. It seems
Speaker 2: like alcohol is also involved.
Speaker 1: And when is that usually? When do these instances happen?
Speaker 1: Drinking hours? What does happened?
Speaker 4: Drinking hours mean? That doesn't mean that. I mean, I'm
Speaker 4: saying I could see if I was coming out of
Speaker 4: church fucked up. You don't see that.
Speaker 2: But if you're drunk, and every every time it happens
Speaker 2: when you're drunk, that might be an issue.
Speaker 4: I don't also drunk. I would just say inebriated or
Speaker 4: slightly like feeling nice.
Speaker 1: And I've had some incidents and what it happens and.
Speaker 3: Be with incident?
Speaker 2: Are you referring to I'm not because I'm not going
Speaker 2: to put that man's stuff out there. He knows what
Speaker 2: I'm talking about. I just want to make sure my
Speaker 2: brother is okay. And my brother it's a couple of them.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? I don't remember that.
Speaker 2: See, that's the one I was talking about talk about.
Speaker 5: I googled Donel Rollins. The second article that came up
Speaker 5: is from Y'allhoo Entertainment and done. Rollins says he had
Speaker 5: a great time at ty parties. I swear to God
Speaker 5: everything Look at this. Look look second article that came up.
Speaker 5: What Donelle Rolins drinking?
Speaker 2: Or is that the time he drove up the wrong
Speaker 2: side the street?
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, okay, you drove up that
Speaker 4: was part of that was part of a joke.
Speaker 1: That was part of the joke. I don't know what
Speaker 1: joke that was. That was part of the joke. That's
Speaker 1: a picture y'all made viral.
Speaker 4: There was a picture that picture of me on this y'all,
Speaker 4: and I say, I don't know what did he put
Speaker 4: in that vodka. It feel like I had a full
Speaker 4: head of hair on that yacht. It felt like I
Speaker 4: was a black fabio. That's what it was, all right.
Speaker 3: Next question, who wrote the song? He wrote?
Speaker 4: I did, ok yeah, I thought it was something funny
Speaker 4: he was. But you know, I can't really play it
Speaker 4: because copyright situation. But you know that's what I do.
Speaker 4: You got to be able to turn limits and elimonade
Speaker 4: and don't let people. Don't let stuff like keep you
Speaker 4: down or fuck you up, and I move forward. The
Speaker 4: only thing I'll just put it like that in any situation,
Speaker 4: if you make me mad, it's gonna make me go
Speaker 4: hard on stage, no matter what anybody want to say
Speaker 4: about me.
Speaker 1: The thoughts of me.
Speaker 4: I'll just say I invite any of those people, any
Speaker 4: of the naysayers, or any people have questions about how
Speaker 4: as a stand up, I'll say, come to my show
Speaker 4: and challenge you to go one on one, toe to
Speaker 4: toe with anybody, anybody in the business.
Speaker 1: I have no problem with that.
Speaker 5: Not No.
Speaker 2: Another challenge was, at one time your child's mother, how
Speaker 2: has that worked out? Have y'all worked everything out?
Speaker 1: Can you get.
Speaker 2: Down down on knap? Can you just spit out his water? Please,
Speaker 2: don't worry, he just get an ast, you just get
Speaker 2: a knack. And I promise was that challenge? Did y'all
Speaker 2: fix that? Of y'all on the same according Now, one
Speaker 2: time you and your your child's mother was not seeing
Speaker 2: out of eye on things.
Speaker 4: I mean, when you're not with the person that at
Speaker 4: one point you was in love with and you and
Speaker 4: it didn't work out like you want. I mean, uh,
Speaker 4: people want to have a health relationship. But it's kind
Speaker 4: of tough because it's always emotions of all and all
Speaker 4: it comes down to, like how you feel, how do
Speaker 4: you say this? We're good, but it's gonna be some
Speaker 4: trials and tribulations with that.
Speaker 2: You have to look back at that and say I
Speaker 2: was the problem highest me, the the.
Speaker 1: What I look at it, I look at all the time.
Speaker 1: I take accountability.
Speaker 4: You know, it's easy for say, when you hear situations
Speaker 4: about like Coprah and just like this.
Speaker 1: It's easy. It's it's two sides of every story.
Speaker 4: And I do believe that part of the reason that
Speaker 4: we're not together in uh living situation is because I probably,
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I contribute to it. But you know
Speaker 4: that was in the past, and the most important thing
Speaker 4: right now is to raise our son to be the
Speaker 4: best human we possibly can do. At the end of
Speaker 4: the day, I'll take account and be like, I'm not
Speaker 4: a perfect motherfucker. I'm not any of that.
Speaker 2: Would you change anything?
Speaker 1: Would you?
Speaker 4: Would you sit look back and say I should have
Speaker 4: did this differently, or I should have did this with
Speaker 4: the rest with her, Yes, no, I think she should
Speaker 4: have stayed the funk off my phone.
Speaker 3: What did she find when she went?
Speaker 1: I worry about that. I'm just saying, leave my motherfucker phone.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Your phone is over there over here, you pay the
Speaker 4: bill over there, I pay the bill over here. Hey man,
Speaker 4: A relationship, I'm the perfect motherfucker. If you mind your business.
Speaker 4: They stay at my phone. The deable is in the phone.
Speaker 2: How think you? What did you find in the phone
Speaker 2: and how the phone was it locked?
Speaker 1: Uh uh, I don't know you you asked that question.
Speaker 1: Say they got ways of doing ship. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Motherfucker might have opened my eyeball or something. I don't
Speaker 1: know what the fuck.
Speaker 3: She's younger than she might have just watched him into
Speaker 3: the past.
Speaker 4: And remember, it's God's way of saying, down there, you're
Speaker 4: not living correctly, and it's for parts of my life.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't live correctly. But that's Donelle.
Speaker 2: That's what you live correctly.
Speaker 1: Now, that's a bunch of second. Yes, I don't know
Speaker 1: what's going on.
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to have a real You say you
Speaker 2: don't have a real conversation, So I'm not joking you.
Speaker 2: I'm just having a real conversation.
Speaker 5: You be low key stressed? What about the like the
Speaker 5: parental situation?
Speaker 3: Sometimes?
Speaker 1: No, I don't, I don't, I don't. I don't be
Speaker 1: stressed about that.
Speaker 4: I don't be stressed because what I try to eliminate,
Speaker 4: I try to do. This is what I believe. When
Speaker 4: you were in a coparative situation. A lot of guys
Speaker 4: like this, well, I'm going to take care of my responsibility,
Speaker 4: and they think that their responsibility.
Speaker 1: Is just taking care of that kid. I don't agree
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 4: I think, really, if you want a healthy relationship for
Speaker 4: your kid and the mother, I think it's important to
Speaker 4: try to do everything to make her happy physically, mentally,
Speaker 4: and financially too. So I do all those things to
Speaker 4: try to have that relationship as healthy as possible. Because
Speaker 4: if the mother of your child it's mentally unstable, whatever
Speaker 4: that could affect your kids. So I do everything in
Speaker 4: my power to make sure that she's good and she's happy. Okay,
Speaker 4: I respect that.
Speaker 2: You really not to talk about because I can't make
Speaker 2: We're not making jokes. I want to take I want
Speaker 2: to take this as serious as possible down now. I
Speaker 2: don't want you to think that anytime you come up here,
Speaker 2: we just coming to pay the ship on you a
Speaker 2: joke or booo or not something like that. I like,
Speaker 2: I really take you serious as a friend, and you
Speaker 2: know I want you to be succeed and I want
Speaker 2: you to win.
Speaker 1: Why does this feel so fucking weird?
Speaker 2: You know why?
Speaker 1: It feels weird.
Speaker 4: Congratulations though, Oh what on your podcasts and everything that
Speaker 4: you do?
Speaker 2: Congratulations of course. I be let me ask you a question.
Speaker 2: What advice would you give Lauren and Jess? You know
Speaker 2: you've done radio for a.
Speaker 1: Long what advice I would give them? You've done radio
Speaker 1: with me. I thought about this and I.
Speaker 3: Just you called me that day, answer the phone. I
Speaker 3: feel like it's ship that day.
Speaker 4: I know, you know what. This is how I feel.
Speaker 4: And I thought about this even when I came up
Speaker 4: here Envy. I was like, we've had a lot of
Speaker 4: opportunity to be funny and everything like that. I was like,
Speaker 4: am I always gonna be funny? But this is what
Speaker 4: I think. I think with Lauren and Jess, you have
Speaker 4: to allow them to be lawn and Jess. Lawn is
Speaker 4: not Jess, you know, I think so, And we're like,
Speaker 4: I've been on the blogs and I've been listening out here.
Speaker 4: People say, well, Jess is not a journalist whatever, But
Speaker 4: you guys didn't hire her to be a journalist. And
Speaker 4: the thing that people don't understand is like yet, and
Speaker 4: I thought it was a very funny benchmark with her
Speaker 4: with a social one of the funniest things that just
Speaker 4: did was just with the mess. I love that that
Speaker 4: showed her comedic thing and it was always a spin
Speaker 4: on news and satire, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 4: now there's not going to be a comparison. If you
Speaker 4: look at a person that's trained to be a journalist whatever,
Speaker 4: it's going to be an obvious distance, obvious difference between.
Speaker 4: But you gotta let Jess be just and you to
Speaker 4: be you. And this is the story that I look
Speaker 4: at that that really bothers me on if people taking
Speaker 4: size of it, you have two black women that came
Speaker 4: no insult whatever from nothing, you know, from nothing that
Speaker 4: they came from the mutt. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: They positioned themself. So we should be celebrating that and
Speaker 4: be proud of it. We shouldn't be put them together
Speaker 4: as far as and I remember when you was on TMZ,
Speaker 4: when I first had an opportunity to actually talk to you.
Speaker 4: I appreciate how you used to hold me down on
Speaker 4: that show. When Harvard them used to try to go
Speaker 4: sideways whatever, You always defended me. I remember just some
Speaker 4: years ago, maybe seven eight years ago, when she probably
Speaker 4: had fifteen or twenty thousand followers on Instagram and she's
Speaker 4: sending my DM and asked me an honest question about comedy,
Speaker 4: like what do I need to do? I said, I
Speaker 4: can't tell you anything to do. I said, but what
Speaker 4: you got to do is go on stage and everything
Speaker 4: you need to know about comedy, it'll happen. And like people,
Speaker 4: this is the thing just had to her all the
Speaker 4: tools to make herself successful and be self made. And
Speaker 4: most of these mouffles that talk shit, and I know
Speaker 4: this kind of hard for people in social media, sayppen, Oh,
Speaker 4: they came from social media, they came from YouTube. But
Speaker 4: even to get to the point where she is, you
Speaker 4: have to have some type of work ethics. You have
Speaker 4: to have some type of discipline. It's not like you
Speaker 4: post one video and that's gonna happen. And I've seen
Speaker 4: her go the same way I saw Kevin Hart when
Speaker 4: he first started doing Twitter with twenty thousand followers.
Speaker 1: He stuck to it. She stuck to her thing.
Speaker 4: So you can't hold it against it, hold against her
Speaker 4: the way she got on. I think it's unfair to
Speaker 4: try to put them together. And I think that they
Speaker 4: can co exist in the same thing if both of
Speaker 4: them do their lanes and do what they're supposed to do.
Speaker 4: I'm proud of watching both of them. I consider both
Speaker 4: of them my friends.
Speaker 3: That's what you called me to say. Ain't that day I.
Speaker 1: Called you to say something you didn't have to hear
Speaker 1: from me. I didn't call the talk shit.
Speaker 2: Because I didn't know.
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't feel like no more jokes.
Speaker 5: Me and comedians just ain't happy it ain't going well.
Speaker 4: No, because I know this is people say. We all
Speaker 4: are opportunists. We all try to position ourselves to win.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, how you're gonna get mad
Speaker 4: at a person. I remember when you first started doing
Speaker 4: this and you wasn't talking about I'm gonna be an
Speaker 4: on air personality. You was talking about, oh man, we're
Speaker 4: gonna we're gonna make it even tighter. Because I used
Speaker 4: to say to myself, the show is sometimes it's all
Speaker 4: over the place, but I know what your experience are producing.
Speaker 1: I was like, that's part of something that they need.
Speaker 4: I didn't know that it was going to turn into
Speaker 4: situation where you get it. You get as much time,
Speaker 4: but you deserve and of everything that you got on
Speaker 4: this show, not even without this show, you already had
Speaker 4: the trajectory to be successful. And how can somebody be
Speaker 4: mad like because a person like come in here, guess
Speaker 4: what they like me. I'm doing a good job. I
Speaker 4: want to continue that. It wasn't no shade. I can
Speaker 4: understand just feelings on that side of it, and especially
Speaker 4: when you say situation like okay, I suggested that this
Speaker 4: person being there's no cattiness whatever. I see a strong
Speaker 4: black woman that wants to do something, and if I
Speaker 4: can help her in any way, I want to do that.
Speaker 4: But I can understand coming back and feel like a
Speaker 4: situation is supposed to be another way, it don't happen.
Speaker 4: I could see the discomfort and the misunderstanding on both sides.
Speaker 4: But again I think they can coexist. She gets to
Speaker 4: be herself and Jess gets to be herself. That's it.
Speaker 3: That's so positive.
Speaker 4: I'm not a negative person like I really support Like
Speaker 4: I called Jess when it happened, I called you, and
Speaker 4: I called her.
Speaker 1: She answered the phone and this is what I mean.
Speaker 4: I know you not really, it's not too much of
Speaker 4: a can to conversation. And I told her, I said,
Speaker 4: I can understand how you feel and I could hear
Speaker 4: in her voice she was upset.
Speaker 1: She didn't want to hear no jokes whatever.
Speaker 4: I said, Just most importantly thing, whatever you do, when
Speaker 4: you respond, it's so hard to not let your emotions
Speaker 4: take over the live. Her emotions were taken over. I said,
Speaker 4: whatever you do, do it in a funny way. However
Speaker 4: you respond, do it in the funny way. I said,
Speaker 4: if people upset with you, whatever, remind them while you're here.
Speaker 4: And you're here because you're a funny person, So continue
Speaker 4: to do that. Don't you see people that come out
Speaker 4: and they have they go on these media runs and
Speaker 4: they talk about everybody. So many comedians now go on
Speaker 4: these platforms. They don't even want to be funny no more.
Speaker 2: Well you know why, right, What I told people the
Speaker 2: other day is they get paid for the outland of
Speaker 2: stuff that they say they get paid for. Before you
Speaker 2: did an interview and you sit outland of the stuff, you
Speaker 2: didn't get paid for it.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: But now if I say something crazy and it's on YouTube,
Speaker 2: and it's on TikTok, and it's on Instagram or ax
Speaker 2: so whatever these platform it is, and I get a
Speaker 2: million views, I get paid off of that. No, it
Speaker 2: comes in addition, now I want to say more stuff.
Speaker 1: That's why.
Speaker 4: It's like it's meteors. You become a media hoore and
Speaker 4: you become a clickbait hord. It's so easy. And people,
Speaker 4: a lot of commedians now they don't care about being
Speaker 4: funny anymore. They just want to be controversial. If you
Speaker 4: look at most tags, at most clickblak, it's so and
Speaker 4: so destroys, claps back and everything. Because you get excited
Speaker 4: about those clicks, you can go up there. You can
Speaker 4: try to be positive as you want, as funny as
Speaker 4: you want sometime, but that's not going to move to doubt.
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate.
Speaker 4: When I first started, we go way back and way
Speaker 4: way back in radio, where you had to be successful,
Speaker 4: you had to be likable. Now, motherfuckers win by being
Speaker 4: hated because it's all about the end of the day.
Speaker 4: It's all about engagement. It's not about oh I like him,
Speaker 4: I supported my father. It's just like what's going to click.
Speaker 4: So if you get a click on something negative or positive,
Speaker 4: it's still a clique and people are run with that.
Speaker 4: I have a situation with a comic right now that
Speaker 4: it goes back and forth. You know, what I'm saying anytime, huh,
Speaker 4: you can say his name.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And it's unfortunately the reason I'm gonna tell.
Speaker 4: You, why do you and Corey Hookm have such a
Speaker 4: this is the thing problem, This is the thing with that.
Speaker 4: And I've said this on platforms, and what it is
Speaker 4: is like he has an audience that tune into him.
Speaker 1: He does.
Speaker 4: He has a podcast where pretty much nobody on the
Speaker 4: show has an opinion that it's always going to be
Speaker 4: signing with his thoughts. And we had an incident it's documented,
Speaker 4: not an incident that he started, but the incident I
Speaker 4: did where I got triggered at the comic club. I
Speaker 4: yelled out at him, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 4: didn't like some of the things he was saying.
Speaker 2: Said you started it or did he started it first?
Speaker 4: Well, you could say I started that part of it,
Speaker 4: but I think the conversation was started and I do.
Speaker 4: It's crazy people like oh you and Dave Chappelle's dick
Speaker 4: and all that type shit. He's one of my closest friends,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. It's not he's one of
Speaker 4: my mother fucking closest friends. Like in Yellow Spring, we
Speaker 4: lived two miles away from Joe. It's my brother.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? We don't we did.
Speaker 4: We weren't just coworkers like we've been. We was fucking
Speaker 4: at Charlie mur Murph Murphy's funeral, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: We've been at weddings, We've been visiting people in the
Speaker 4: hospital together. Like there's a there's a it's like sense
Speaker 4: of loyalty there, right, and everybody wants to Everybody wants
Speaker 4: to fucking paint this picture. Donelle is riding Dave's dick.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. If it wasn't for Dave
Speaker 4: and all that, and that get to my motherfucking nerve
Speaker 4: because I know before that show, I had a resume.
Speaker 4: After that show, I had a resume. It just so
Speaker 4: happened that I was a breakout performer on what people
Speaker 4: are calling one of the greatest shows in the history
Speaker 4: of television.
Speaker 1: Facts.
Speaker 4: Motherfuckers want me to repeat history. I can't do that.
Speaker 4: There's never gonna be another Chappelle show. Even after the
Speaker 4: Chappelle Show, you know, people's like, oh, y'all gonna do
Speaker 4: it would have been the most foolish thing for me
Speaker 4: and Charlie to say we want to do a sketch show,
Speaker 4: and someone says something about even after when Chappelle decided
Speaker 4: that he wasn't being part of that show no more,
Speaker 4: me and Charlie Murphy hosted the lost episodes. We didn't
Speaker 4: host those episodes with the intent we're gonna take this
Speaker 4: show over. They had an archive of sketches. They were
Speaker 4: trying to figure out what the fuck they was gonna
Speaker 4: do with these sketches. They hadn't communicated to nobody. I
Speaker 4: didn't know where the motherfucker was, hadn't spoke to him.
Speaker 4: And when I look back on certain things I did
Speaker 4: in my career, it might not have been the when
Speaker 4: I look about it in retrospect, it might not have
Speaker 4: been the best decision. But in that moment, I'm like,
Speaker 4: like this, this is a great show. Right now, nobody's
Speaker 4: going to be like this, We're the new Chappelle. And
Speaker 4: even when Me and Charlie came out and mister Hooker
Speaker 4: said something about that, he said, oh, these motherfuckers hosted
Speaker 4: the show. That's why I fuck DC Young Fly Fly
Speaker 4: because DC Young Fly told them no. DC Young Fly
Speaker 4: told them no to continuing the show as the new host,
Speaker 4: and DC young Fly could fucking do that because the
Speaker 4: core of Wilding Out was Chico Bean Carlos. So he
Speaker 4: don't have to do wilding Out because he got eighty
Speaker 4: five South.
Speaker 1: He has that.
Speaker 4: Even when me and Charlie did that, we came out
Speaker 4: first thing Charlie says and it was a joke or
Speaker 4: I don't feel comfortable doing this. I was like, speak
Speaker 4: for yourself. I need all the camera time I can get.
Speaker 4: That's the reality of it. I've had a conversation about
Speaker 4: Dave and I apologize Todave Dave about it. I was like,
Speaker 4: I didn't think about it like that. I said, but
Speaker 4: one thing, Dave, had you called me right Yoded, I'm
Speaker 4: not fucking with this network. I'm not fucking with them.
Speaker 4: I would have never done it. So what do you do.
Speaker 4: You got to make decision on what you're gonna do
Speaker 4: that's going to continue to help your joint and try
Speaker 4: to be as respectful about it as possible. After when
Speaker 4: he left, we never wrote another sketch. We never Me
Speaker 4: and Charlie had a pilot. It was called Charlie Versus
Speaker 4: Donhille and it was a reality show that Comedy Central
Speaker 4: pastor and they had nothing to do with Sketch. It
Speaker 4: was me and him battling each other. Big Tigger was
Speaker 4: a co host of that. Whatever we thought we had
Speaker 4: an opportunity to do that. But what Comedy Central didn't
Speaker 4: understand is that me and Charlie Murphy, if you want
Speaker 4: to say, became stars of that show. They was waiting
Speaker 4: for Dave to come back, so they didn't think that
Speaker 4: me and him could pull off. That didn't happen. We
Speaker 4: never revisited that. I never did a sketch show. I
Speaker 4: never tried to do anything past that, and I showed
Speaker 4: him the respect for that. But I tell you, I
Speaker 4: tell you what pisses me off. And anybody can understand
Speaker 4: when you put so much work into something and for
Speaker 4: people to try to assassinate your character and say you're
Speaker 4: something other than what the fuck you are, And for
Speaker 4: all of these motherfuckers, this is what I feel. I
Speaker 4: don't want to fight you on no fucking podcast. I
Speaker 4: don't want to be more controversial. If you want to
Speaker 4: do fight me on anything, let's go on the fucking stage.
Speaker 4: Let's go to the stage. For all the motherfuckers that
Speaker 4: want to say he's whacked, he's mild and so and
Speaker 4: so and I put this out there, let's go on
Speaker 4: a fucking stage and let the people decide that. And
Speaker 4: I guarantee you it ain't gonna get the fucking results
Speaker 4: you want. You could tell a motherfucker that motherfucker's whacked
Speaker 4: at the thirty plus years performing, not just on a
Speaker 4: chitling circuit five six continents, and oh you with Dave.
Speaker 4: Guess what I am with Dave? When I do shows,
Speaker 4: I ain't Dave's open. I don't open for nobody, big dogs,
Speaker 4: Kevin Hart, Chris Rock, Dave. I ain't gonna never open for.
Speaker 1: You, know.
Speaker 4: So if you want to do it, stop talking your
Speaker 4: shit and let's go on to stage, and I guarantee
Speaker 4: you you gonna fucking feel it. And I'm not a
Speaker 4: one trick pony. I'm not just for the Black Ondings.
Speaker 4: I'm from everywhere. And as much as mother ones say,
Speaker 4: oh he's on Dave Dick, this is the best feeling
Speaker 4: I have when I tour, and I got video of it,
Speaker 4: I can show you nobody expects me to be on
Speaker 4: the show with Dave.
Speaker 1: He don't never promote my name, he don't need me to.
Speaker 1: He can sell out any venue in the world. Twenty
Speaker 1: five thirty thousand people.
Speaker 4: DJ Trauma will say, you've seen him on HBO's The Wire,
Speaker 4: you see them on the Corner, you see them on
Speaker 4: be A Meth. I might get some clop claps, but
Speaker 4: you fell in love with him. It's as she learned
Speaker 4: to Chappelle's show, and every fucking venue for five years,
Speaker 4: a whole arena goes ape shit that only gonna last
Speaker 4: me two minutes on stage. But guess what, as it
Speaker 4: go ape shit where they know I'm there. When I
Speaker 4: get off stage, guess what, they fucking stand up again.
Speaker 4: Because I put the work in and people know me
Speaker 4: for that. I'm not gonna apologize because I made some
Speaker 4: characters that did some shit that people remember, and it's
Speaker 4: only bitter motherfuckers that talk that shit. What have you done?
Speaker 1: And I continue, I can continue to do it. I've
Speaker 1: been on BMF.
Speaker 4: I did this. I continue to work. Other fucker say, oh,
Speaker 4: you ain't made it. I'm just addressing ship I've heard
Speaker 4: on podcasts.
Speaker 3: You know, oh, because I told you.
Speaker 4: For the most part. And then here's the thing. This
Speaker 4: is the thing about it. This is going to be
Speaker 4: fuel for him to go and say stupid shit again.
Speaker 1: But I just I'm not a but but I do.
Speaker 4: I do have to ask you said if you started
Speaker 4: it right? You said you started it. No, I didn't
Speaker 4: say I started. You said you started. From your remark,
Speaker 4: I'd say even that reaction is reactions. If he go
Speaker 4: at you first, you can't be you know what, God damn,
Speaker 4: it's hard for me. I'm trying to be accountable for
Speaker 4: my actions. But I got to say what triggered me?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: When I just keep hearing this, and it's closest friend
Speaker 4: of mine, when I keep hearing this, it's just interesting me.
Speaker 4: The notion that you would go to a comedy club
Speaker 4: with one hundred and fifty people on a workout night
Speaker 4: and be critical of someone that's doing the numbers, someone
Speaker 4: that's fucking got all the accolades, that Grammys, any eemies
Speaker 4: you want to go. That's like going to a practice
Speaker 4: facility and watch a nigga practice and saying, oh, that
Speaker 4: wasn't that good.
Speaker 1: What happens at game time? Motherfucker?
Speaker 4: For you to even put it on the universe that
Speaker 4: somebody's booty or boo boo or whatever in the practice facility,
Speaker 4: go to an arena, go to a theater, go to
Speaker 4: not just at certain point, guess what, you ain't gonna
Speaker 4: be the funniest motherfucker. I think now Dave has done
Speaker 4: it so long, so much, people don't really even look
Speaker 4: at him just to be hearty, hard hard. They look
Speaker 4: at him for his perspective. They're looking for his point
Speaker 4: of view, his thoughts is bigger, and that he's he's
Speaker 4: turned into that Dick Gregory ship, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: where like I don't want to say activists, but it's
Speaker 4: more than just a less you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So that's why I did took offense to that. And
Speaker 4: I said, even when an accident happened, I said, you
Speaker 4: know what, I probably broke the unwritten rule. You're not
Speaker 4: supposed to yell out at a comedian on you on stage.
Speaker 1: For that, I'm guilty.
Speaker 2: So he was taking a shot at Dave, and you like,
Speaker 2: Daves my brother. I'm arived from my.
Speaker 1: Brother, yeah, well pretty much, but not even just my
Speaker 1: brother it is.
Speaker 2: But you know why can't well, I guess you and Courey,
Speaker 2: I mean, trying to work this out many times, but
Speaker 2: you know, I feel like.
Speaker 1: And the thing about the NBA.
Speaker 2: You're successful, he's successful, right, you have two different audience.
Speaker 2: It's two different cause I don't understand why it continues.
Speaker 4: On don't again. That goes to like when you have
Speaker 4: a platform and you know what's gonna you know, even
Speaker 4: with the roast bad things, a person couldn't wait to
Speaker 4: take an opportunity to say this guy's booty and he
Speaker 4: he doesn't support uh young comics. And I said something
Speaker 4: because it was a quote from that thing was like,
Speaker 4: and I think I was misunder steward or I might
Speaker 4: have misspoke when somebody said something much special, I said,
Speaker 4: I made that show. What I meant to say was
Speaker 4: I helped make that show what it was and took.
Speaker 1: Dad was like, motherfucker, you didn't. You haven't even made it.
Speaker 4: And I begged differ that do I got the fucking
Speaker 4: bank that Kevin Hartney's motherfuckers do, or the movies or anything.
Speaker 4: But for somebody that no college education, not formally trained
Speaker 4: on anything other than the military, to be able to
Speaker 4: position myself where I could do fucking seven figures using
Speaker 4: by God given talent in some areas people think that
Speaker 4: you made it. I don't answer to anybody I worked
Speaker 4: for myself and that's it.
Speaker 2: Well downa, you didn't make it. I don't know if
Speaker 2: you realize that you came from the military to what
Speaker 2: you've done, what you've accomplished. I mean, people don't know
Speaker 2: if you really do your history of me and Donell
Speaker 2: did radio together. We did a more show together. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Lost Time on ninety seven with Miss Jones. It was me,
Speaker 2: Miss Jones, uh and Donna Rolins and we did a
Speaker 2: morning show together. And you know, we've seen you go
Speaker 2: from there to where you are, so you have made it.
Speaker 2: And you know, we joke with you a lot up here,
Speaker 2: and you know we clown you. You clown us, but
Speaker 2: we are proud of you, and we, you know, think
Speaker 2: you wanted the funniest. I don't support many people. I
Speaker 2: don't come out to do shows for many people, but
Speaker 2: I come out and I support you because I really
Speaker 2: do think you funny.
Speaker 4: But and then it not and I appreciate that, but
Speaker 4: it's not that it's like like I have a history
Speaker 4: of that. And like even when Mike Gifts was up here,
Speaker 4: but Mike I said, Donelle too old to be getting
Speaker 4: boot the translation for me it was like Donille's too
Speaker 4: funny to get booed. We came from the same place
Speaker 4: and it's and I'm not saying that it has never happened,
Speaker 4: but after a while, you get a certain amount of
Speaker 4: experience that you know how to handle different situations. And
Speaker 4: for anybody here, like he got booted, the first question
Speaker 4: people asked was like, wait a minute, that doesn't sound right.
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 4: And yes, they bow me, but it was like it
Speaker 4: wasn't a boot like I told a joking it was
Speaker 4: whack cause like he was, they was instructed by the
Speaker 4: host of the show.
Speaker 5: But it was a lack of respecting And that's what
Speaker 5: I meant by you was too old for it, because
Speaker 5: I felt like again to your career and watching you
Speaker 5: on those stages like of Radio, City Music or whatever,
Speaker 5: I just felt like, I don't know, like like nbcaid earlier,
Speaker 5: like they was playing with you a little bit, and
Speaker 5: no one knows where you are would do that. And
Speaker 5: for me, one of my questions for you would be
Speaker 5: why even be in that space where something like that
Speaker 5: would even be allowed.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. I will tell you the alcohol.
Speaker 3: The alcohol is what made you go there.
Speaker 4: No, in that Rose Battle, don't what made me go
Speaker 4: to that roast battle. As I was there, I was
Speaker 4: hanging with Teddy Swims and I watched him on Adam Carolla.
Speaker 4: He has a show called Doctor Phil where he tours
Speaker 4: and he doesn't impression Doctor Field and he acts like
Speaker 4: it's it's the actual Doctor Field show.
Speaker 1: I want to support Telly on that.
Speaker 4: And one of his buddies was on the panel to
Speaker 4: be on a rose Battle and we was hanging out.
Speaker 4: He was like, Yo, do you want to go up
Speaker 4: to the Rose Battle. I went up there and I
Speaker 4: took everybody know in a business that I don't go
Speaker 4: to the road stuff because I could be sensible, I
Speaker 4: could be upset. And it was one thing led to another.
Speaker 4: It just was an awkward situation and got out of hand.
Speaker 4: But at the same time I didn't feel good about it.
Speaker 4: But one thing what I said to those comics, if
Speaker 4: you look at it, it was true. And I even
Speaker 4: told him at the end of it, I said, I
Speaker 4: hope you are so mad at me that it makes
Speaker 4: you want to step the game up just to say
Speaker 4: fuck him. I know I can do it. It wasn't no.
Speaker 1: If I've supported so.
Speaker 4: Many young comics, I've gave opportunities anybody, and even even
Speaker 4: to you. And like certain people I come around if
Speaker 4: I feel that they like have funny energy. I don't
Speaker 4: think everybody could be funny, but I'll say, you know what,
Speaker 4: you should try it. I told her, I think you
Speaker 4: have the personality do it.
Speaker 1: She's not doing.
Speaker 3: It's not ever happening.
Speaker 4: Now it might not happen, but you know, I was
Speaker 4: been one hundred percent supportive. Even I told her, I said,
Speaker 4: you come into my show. She didn't show up because
Speaker 4: she thought I might put on stage. But to that,
Speaker 4: and then I noticed interview. When people come and see
Speaker 4: me or they watched, they like, oh god, he's going
Speaker 4: to cut up whatever. But it's something to be said
Speaker 4: about letting somebody err it out and their gripes and
Speaker 4: their grievances.
Speaker 1: And to that, I say, fuck them.
Speaker 2: All right. Well, you're gonna be at the City Winery
Speaker 2: in New York. Watch twenty eighth, Indiana, April fourth and fifth, Tennessee,
Speaker 2: Buffalo and Florida. So next hour you want to stay
