Speaker 4: I can't. I just know we were staying in a
Speaker 4: whole lot of houses, a bunch of apartments. That's all
Speaker 4: I know. I just know we kept something packed. We
Speaker 4: didn't unpack everything.
Speaker 1: For the future.
Speaker 2: Move was was this something that carried on in your adulthood?
Speaker 1: Like life, it's come from being you know?
Speaker 4: When I was young, I really liked, like really just
Speaker 4: I really didn't like a lot of people around me
Speaker 4: all the time. I really kind of like a longer dude.
Speaker 4: So it's really like came from like that being a
Speaker 4: long dude. I had like a couple of friends I
Speaker 4: used to hang with, but other than that, I just
Speaker 4: didn't really like hang with a lot of people. And
Speaker 4: to this day, I still don't, even though I know
Speaker 4: a lot of people, I just don't hang around a
Speaker 4: lot of people. But it came from it could come.
Speaker 4: Comedy can come from depression, you see what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So you see a lot of comedies that are comedians
Speaker 4: that have been depressed a lot. So if you remember
Speaker 4: riding Rightning Williams, the guy that kill himself, White guy
Speaker 4: comedian Robert Williams, Yeah he started he was depressed. That's
Speaker 4: come from depression. So you do comment to avoid your depression.
Speaker 4: So that's why you see a lot of comments when
Speaker 4: they get off, man, they just be like they just
Speaker 4: laid back.
Speaker 1: Have you experienced depression?
Speaker 4: Pression?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, man, oh yeah for sure. Is that why
Speaker 1: you got in in the comedy.
Speaker 4: I don't. I just got into it because I don't know, man.
Speaker 4: I guess it's always was in me to be into it,
Speaker 4: but I was. What really happened, How do I really
Speaker 4: got to be a comedian? Was this guy named David Bradford.
Speaker 4: He was a comedian, He was an actor. He was
Speaker 4: doing plays, he was doing commercials in Houston, and he
Speaker 4: took me to.
Speaker 1: The Comic Club. Was at the hip hop.
Speaker 4: Hip hop coming stop right off of Cross Timbers, at
Speaker 4: that hotel of Cross Timbers and forty five and Cross Timbers.
Speaker 1: So that was before it moved to downtown.
Speaker 4: Right, that was the first one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember that hotel. Yeah, that's why I saw
Speaker 2: Roger Troutman. Roger Rodger Troutman played there.
Speaker 1: Once at that hotel. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I went on a double date, you know, with this
Speaker 2: chick he was. I went on a double date, right,
Speaker 2: and my homeboy was with this chick that I used
Speaker 2: to mess with.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to figure this one out. Who won where
Speaker 4: it was?
Speaker 2: I mean I won because you know she was for
Speaker 2: the streets, you know, like, hey, I'm just keeping a buck, bro.
Speaker 2: Any chick that dates another dude, homeboy, Yeah, if she
Speaker 2: knows that y'all have a relationship, and she hook up
Speaker 2: with that other dude.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she for the street street.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't say too much about the homie either,

Speaker 4: Oh yeah she a street Yeah yeah, she has some
Speaker 4: miles on that thing.

Speaker 2: but you know a lot of times you get caught up.
Speaker 1: And dated for a while. No, no, no, no, it
Speaker 1: wasn't like that. She wasn't. It was just a chick
Speaker 1: that I was, you know, kind of kicked it with
Speaker 1: or whatever. I got it.
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't, I'm not. I'm not sure that
Speaker 2: any woman that I've ever committed to would stoopid that loan.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about committed to because you have to really
Speaker 2: know and learn. You have to learn a woman to
Speaker 2: know that what she's capable of doing. You know, if
Speaker 2: you have to learn a woman. I understand that's always
Speaker 2: exceptions because somebody's like, well my woman for twenty years
Speaker 2: and yeah know, so you have to learn. You have
Speaker 2: to learn a woman. And if you learn something that's
Speaker 2: just like learning a friend. You know, you're learning your homeboy,
Speaker 2: like you know, nah, that ain't that ain't him?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: That ain't that he? Ain't that dude?

Speaker 4: every weekend. I was there, put me on every weekend. Yeah,
Speaker 4: man started getting a little bread.
Speaker 1: Then well, you mentioned David Grafford. Yeah, I know that.
Speaker 1: Rashwan used to work with a dude named David.
Speaker 4: That's what they were, a ray boner. That was the
Speaker 4: police office. David Rayburn Yeah, Dave raybo They was partners, Yes,
Speaker 4: it was David Rayburn.
Speaker 2: Man, what happened happened to Dave? So I know he
Speaker 2: moved to LA but I stopped hearing about it. No,
Speaker 2: they started writing for the sitcoms, so he started. He
Speaker 2: became a really great writer in l A. He started
Speaker 2: doing comedy in l A. And then he became a
Speaker 2: writer and that's where it picked up at. You know,
Speaker 2: he was a great writer for a lot of sitcoms
Speaker 2: has his name on it. So, yeah, that's what he does.
Speaker 2: That's what he does. Okay, Okay, we're in a really
Speaker 2: strange space right now with comedy kind of sue, I mean,
Speaker 2: see himself a scholar of all things comedy. Hey man,
Speaker 2: in your opinion, it's comedy still flourishing, uh in the
Speaker 2: I guess in the uh social space that we're in
Speaker 2: right now with everybody being canceled. You know, you say
Speaker 2: say something, you know, you trigger something and boom, next
Speaker 2: thing you know, you're canceled. How do you navigate through
Speaker 2: all of that, you know and and and be authentic.
Speaker 1: So the world is getting soft.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna put it like that, we're getting soft man,
Speaker 4: and we used to be hard man. People can take anything,
Speaker 4: man be hard. The words is getting so soft. So
Speaker 4: I'm looking at it like, you can't say this. So
Speaker 4: what I do when something first come out about an incident,
Speaker 4: I sit back and I wait, and I just watch
Speaker 4: everybody else take that lead and talk about it on
Speaker 4: stage first. I just let them do it and see
Speaker 4: how it's gonna turn out. So when they do that,
Speaker 4: I was like, then all of a sudden, they canceled.
Speaker 4: So I know, if you're going to go live, don't
Speaker 4: say it. You know what I'm saying. You know you
Speaker 4: got a camera in that room, and you feel me yourself.
Speaker 4: Don't say it because they don'na come back. They gonna
Speaker 4: cancel you out. You done. So that's when a lot
Speaker 4: of cats get get canceled. So me, I just I
Speaker 4: don't talk about it. I talk about other stuff. So
Speaker 4: when they talk about how the gay community was down
Speaker 4: on the comics, now you can't say this, you can't
Speaker 4: say that. Then I sit back and watch these guys
Speaker 4: say what they wanted to say, and guess what. Guess
Speaker 4: who's at the top of the meat chamber. Them guys,
Speaker 4: and them guys bring it down. They cancel you out.
Speaker 4: It's a lot of comics got canceled and they got
Speaker 4: to go back to the circuit again.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get it, try to eat.
Speaker 2: But it's a lot of guys that didn't get canceled. Also,
Speaker 2: It's like, it's like, I think that when it comes
Speaker 2: to cancel culture, people have a very short memory, and
Speaker 2: you know, they go crazy. There's just outrage when it
Speaker 2: first happens, and then after two three weeks they're gone
Speaker 2: to something else. It's like, we can't be mad. It's
Speaker 2: so much stuff to be mad at that they constantly
Speaker 2: are switching gears and now we're mad at this what
Speaker 2: we like? People wake up? Okay, well we're mad at today,
Speaker 2: and okay, who we mad at today? Okay, we're mad
Speaker 2: at this person. I personally believe that if if a
Speaker 2: comic says what he wants to say, and I still
Speaker 2: think that comedy can be done with good taste, I
Speaker 2: think it's but yeah, but I think comedy can still
Speaker 2: be done with good taste and Sometimes I hear comedians
Speaker 2: say stuff like, well, I'm gonna say whatever I want
Speaker 2: to say, and it's comed you know, it's comedy and
Speaker 2: you're supposed to take the pain and blah blah blah
Speaker 2: blah blah.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 2: But comedians don't say anything they want to say because
Speaker 2: it's certain things, and we know it's certain people that
Speaker 2: we know they never talk about in a derogatory manner.
Speaker 2: If they say something about them, it's gonna be joking
Speaker 2: joke ha. But it ain't gonna be like, you know,
Speaker 2: a derogatory manner, because I've heard comedians many, many comedians
Speaker 2: crack jay slave drokes, but I've heard very few say
Speaker 2: anything about the Holocaust, you know, like a joke about
Speaker 2: the Holocaust.
Speaker 1: One I haven't.
Speaker 2: They don't play that. I heard a couple of white
Speaker 2: comedians do it, like Jewish comedians, but not to the
Speaker 2: degree that I hear black black people are black comics, right,
Speaker 2: uh make jokes about slavery?
Speaker 4: No, we really it's a well with depth channels. I
Speaker 4: was it was a few guys that I was talking
Speaker 4: about slavery. But other than that, you don't like you say,
Speaker 4: you don't hear every comic talking about it because to me,
Speaker 4: it gets it can get boring, or it can touch
Speaker 4: some touch the feeling. If you're talking about slavery on
Speaker 4: stage and all slavery is about the N word, the
Speaker 4: nigga is that nigga? That nigga is nig of that,
Speaker 4: But you're talking about it on you talking about it
Speaker 4: on stage so bad, you're really getting every comic opportunity
Speaker 4: to talk about it. So if I'm laughing at that
Speaker 4: real hard, hey man, I'm gonna make up me something
Speaker 4: about the slavery. I'm gonna make up me something about it.
Speaker 4: Next thing, you know, you got some white, white commedian
Speaker 4: is gonna talk about it. Now you want to get
Speaker 4: mad at them, But why you you started it? Now
Speaker 4: you're mad at the white community, white coming because he
Speaker 4: talking about it, you can't get mad?
Speaker 1: Is that akin to.
Speaker 2: The white news anchor what was her name, Barbie? What's
Speaker 2: that woman named? I'll come back to her name, but
Speaker 2: Barbie something? The white woman in I think I think
Speaker 2: she's from Jackson, Mississippi. Yeah, she's in Mississippi. She was
Speaker 2: quoting Snoop Dogg's lyrics and she said, for she is
Speaker 2: on my nissle.
Speaker 1: Live mynsle for shizz on my nizzle is nothing? Yeah
Speaker 1: what but what? But what? But what is for chizzel?
Speaker 1: My nissle mean breaking down a ready know right? Uh
Speaker 1: let me see four.
Speaker 2: For chisel Okay, so chizzle is sure mys my, and
Speaker 2: then nizzle is slang for the N.
Speaker 4: Word, right right. But she didn't say.
Speaker 1: It's still slang for the N word.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, it's still slag for the N word. I
Speaker 4: say it properly said. I know, Ketch laughed, but they
Speaker 4: made jokes out of it. But I still say it
Speaker 4: was probably like I don't think she should have said
Speaker 4: it word, I say, I don't think.
Speaker 2: I don't think that they fired her for saying those
Speaker 2: words because the woman been around. She was working with
Speaker 2: the company h for twenty years. Uh wlbt. She had
Speaker 2: been working for them for twenty years, so they already
Speaker 2: knew who this woman was, right, for twenty years. You said,
Speaker 2: that's the first time she's ever said something like this. No,
Speaker 2: they She also got reprimmended for calling one of her
Speaker 2: coworkers a grand mammy.
Speaker 4: So she was racists already.
Speaker 1: But that's but this is my point. She had her
Speaker 1: white sheet, but.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing that I don't think that they fired
Speaker 2: her for that, cause I think they fired her because
Speaker 2: she was old and expensive.
Speaker 4: You know, she was saying, brain starting to lead.
Speaker 2: Well, well, no, what I'm saying is that she's expensive.
Speaker 2: You know, she has a big salary. She's been around
Speaker 2: for you know, with them at least twenty two decades.
Speaker 2: She's been around at least two decades with that particular station.
Speaker 2: So you know, you know, she got a pretty nice salary.
Speaker 2: And you got thirty five year olds right now. If
Speaker 2: you look around, if you look around the country, a
Speaker 2: lot of stations are popping up with with with news
Speaker 2: anchors that are under thirty five years old.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, you see them. Yeah, I see him,
Speaker 1: young man, I see them.
Speaker 2: And so I think that they fired her so that
Speaker 2: they can make some room in.
Speaker 1: The cap, you know for a good look. Yeah you
Speaker 1: know what was for younger look you know?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they got rid of guess because she said, well,
Speaker 4: let's let you know, she she listened to everything.
Speaker 1: She listened to raption list. She might she might got
Speaker 1: you out on.
Speaker 2: A great tape somewhere, and I wouldn't I wouldn't be
Speaker 2: surprised I wouldn't be surprised if she did, because you know,
Speaker 2: we gotta did.
Speaker 1: She pretty did, she said correctly. Oh she said it.
Speaker 1: She said it emphatically.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, cause you out on really dead is a dictionary.
Speaker 5: Go ahead, she's smart. Little boys reloaded podcasts, will be
Speaker 5: right back after this week.

Speaker 4: the position they was supposed to be in. Nothing. It
Speaker 4: was bad. Troy called me to the house, say, Man,
Speaker 4: I want you to come to the house man to
Speaker 4: look at this. Troy was saying, Man, I'm hurting so
Speaker 4: bad inside. I said, man, let me come over that
Speaker 4: Troy house. We watched it.
Speaker 1: It looked like.
Speaker 4: A little beta tape was recorded, no little beatas blurred
Speaker 4: a nineteen sixty five movie. That's what it looked like.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: It was just so terrible, man, So we trashed it.
Speaker 4: Nothing I could do so I did it again. Did
Speaker 4: you offer to give you any of the money back.
Speaker 4: I ain't talked to of it. No phone call on,
Speaker 4: no call back, no apology, nothing. That's cool. I let
Speaker 4: it go because I chose them. That's that's on me,
Speaker 4: because I chose one of the homies to come.
Speaker 1: Was that the one that I attended?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's the one you came to? Yeah at
Speaker 4: the match data in midtoimea yep, And I had to
Speaker 4: trash it. It was nothing we could do. We couldn't
Speaker 4: give it, we couldn't send it all. We gave it
Speaker 4: to the guy that Troy knows. We gave it him.
Speaker 4: He said, man, I'm trying to fix it. I'm trying
Speaker 4: to I can't fix it. He said, I'm trying to
Speaker 4: fix the sound. I can't fix it. So it was done.
Speaker 2: That's unfortunate, man, because that place, that thing was packed out, man,
Speaker 2: and the energy was there.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, it was so lit. I did it again.
Speaker 4: I said, well, I'm gonna try it again with some
Speaker 4: other people. I tried again with this guy named Moe.
Speaker 4: He did a pretty good job with it. So they
Speaker 4: have it right now. So the guy, he's trying to
Speaker 4: fix a couple of things that was in there. He's
Speaker 4: trying to work it all out. But that's been over,
Speaker 4: gonna be a year now since he trying to fix
Speaker 4: a little stuff that's messed up because this is what
Speaker 4: Netflix wanted. But now I'm surpassed all that. I don't
Speaker 4: you know, I ain't worry about no more. So I
Speaker 4: hooked up with with Wreck, you know, Reshot Records, Wreck.
Speaker 1: Direct.
Speaker 4: I hooked up with Direct. We getting ready to shoot
Speaker 4: some in Houston in two months. It called Comedy and
Speaker 4: the Age. Okay, well, we're starting out with comedians from
Speaker 4: the h We're gonna leave the commune well and we're
Speaker 4: gonna just go bring all the comedians to Houston. Wherever

Speaker 4: you're from Chicago. It's gonna be coming in h featuring
Speaker 4: Chicago comics coming in h feating Dallas comics. Everything's gonna
Speaker 4: be filmed here in Houston, So every comic gotta come here.
Speaker 4: That's gonna be. We try to get the match, but
Speaker 4: they sold up, so we try to do it in June.
Speaker 4: We're gonna do it in May, but it can't get
Speaker 4: the theater. We'll do it in June. So we're looking
Speaker 4: at two other theaters. Hopefully, if we get these other
Speaker 4: two theaters, we'll start filming the last weekend.
Speaker 1: In June right here in Houston.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: But that's that's the big thing I got going down.
Speaker 2: It'd be good for you, man. You know you've been
Speaker 2: putting You've been putting in a lot of work. Man,
Speaker 2: it'd be good to see you, you know, get your
Speaker 2: flowers and get the money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that go with it. It did.
Speaker 4: I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Man. Man, what do you think about these internet comedians?
Speaker 4: The internet comedians.
Speaker 1: They're good on the internet.
Speaker 4: You may get several cats from the Internet that's really
Speaker 4: really funny. They can go out, they can sell out
Speaker 4: across See, it's like it's like comics. Any of the
Speaker 4: comics trying to change the com any game, see what
Speaker 4: I'm saying. So, like, you know how the new rappers
Speaker 4: is coming in, how they got their flavor with the
Speaker 4: new flavors of rappers. Now like me, you know, we
Speaker 4: oh school. We like the way our rappers, our rappers sound.
Speaker 4: We'll go to watch them perform. They like how they're
Speaker 4: rappers sound with all them sound the same. But that's
Speaker 4: how comics is. All these internet comedians are the same
Speaker 4: they're just in that comedians. But you got some of
Speaker 4: them that can come in and sell a show out.
Speaker 4: They'll sell out like that because they're in that comedian.
Speaker 4: But they get on stage, the ain't got a fifteen minutes,
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes, and then you might hear one of your
Speaker 4: jokes on stage and.
Speaker 1: The rest of it them cracking jokes with the audience.
Speaker 4: Rest of it just audience or somebody else's material. So
Speaker 4: they'll come to Houston and sell out. People pile up
Speaker 4: in there, but the people will lead the press like, man,
Speaker 4: spend all my money on this. Yeah, when you're doing
Speaker 4: Internet in and it's like doing a movie, I could
Speaker 4: cut I can cut it, cut this, put this in there.
Speaker 4: I could cut it, put this, put this in there,
Speaker 4: take that out.
Speaker 1: Be on that stage.
Speaker 4: Ain't no cut. You got to go get it, get off.
Speaker 4: So if I'm on the Internet, I go on the
Speaker 4: Internet right now and make up something, say I don't
Speaker 4: like that, take that out and put this in there.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's easy. It's easy money for them. They
Speaker 4: make twenty thousand dollars thirty thousand dollars a weekend. But
Speaker 4: you going to see an internet comedian, you got to
Speaker 4: remember that. That's what you're going to see. You're not
Speaker 4: going to see the professionals who work hard at this
Speaker 4: each and every day without no social media. And that's
Speaker 4: how I started, with no social media. You write it down,
Speaker 4: you in the room with your homie or he with you.
Speaker 4: He say take this out, put this in. I don't
Speaker 4: like that. Then you got another guy say put this in. Okay,
Speaker 4: I like that. It's about in the room. That's how
Speaker 4: we used to do it. But not these guys. They
Speaker 4: got all this, They got social media, they got their
Speaker 4: own cameras, they got their own friends following them everywhere,
Speaker 4: so they go win regardless.
Speaker 2: What do you say to those who say, yeah, well
Speaker 2: you guys, who are you know, the traditional stand up comedians,
Speaker 2: it's just jealous.
Speaker 4: Just you mean, what do you mean by like jealous?
Speaker 2: Jealous of that success, jealous of the internet comedians success.
Speaker 4: It's a matred in that because they're not going by
Speaker 4: the right way. That's how we see, Well, you ain't
Speaker 4: doing it the right way. Well you gotta realize they're
Speaker 4: doing it their way. That's their way to do it.
Speaker 4: That's their audience they bringing out. They they are called
Speaker 4: Internet comedians, they're not called stand up comedians. So a
Speaker 4: stand up comedian can be jealous of the internet media
Speaker 4: because he could call them theater right now, say I
Speaker 4: need this theater I got, I got five thousand people
Speaker 4: want to come see me? Well, show me, show me.
Speaker 4: You gonna have five thousand people. They can pull it up.
Speaker 4: They go five thousand people already and they bought their tickets.
Speaker 4: Guess who they gonna get a building too.
Speaker 2: Do you see there being any type of deterrence there
Speaker 2: where the venues and even the fans at some point
Speaker 2: decide that we're not gonna support this type of comedy anymore.
Speaker 4: And uh, they're gonna still support it because it's comedy.
Speaker 4: Everyone loves to laugh. They're gonna support it because they're
Speaker 4: gonna keep bringing in different audience. I can go to
Speaker 4: this city and say I'm in Dallas this week, which
Speaker 4: is in that comedian, I mean Utah this week. With
Speaker 4: the he could travel all over the world.
Speaker 1: Do you ever get mad at the fans? Uh? Uh?
Speaker 4: People they want to be you can get mad.
Speaker 2: I say, like, uh, I don't get mad at the
Speaker 2: fans either, but I do you know, I do hear
Speaker 2: people talk about the new generation of hip hop and
Speaker 2: you know, obviously there's some guys out there that are
Speaker 2: cold blooded who could have handled their own if they
Speaker 2: had came up in the nineties or or the early
Speaker 2: two thousands. They still be dope, right, But obviously there's
Speaker 2: also some guys out there who are you know, who
Speaker 2: are straight trash, right. And when people complain about the music,
Speaker 2: I ultimately put it on the fans. When you say
Speaker 2: the artist is whack, well, the artists can't be whack
Speaker 2: without the fans being whack. I think the fans are
Speaker 2: whack if you're gonna buy. If you buy that, it's like,
Speaker 2: at the same time you complaining, you're purchasing these tickets,
Speaker 2: you're buying, you're buying the streams, You're investing totally in
Speaker 2: these type of artists. And I even hear the youngsters.
Speaker 2: I even read a lot of the comments where they
Speaker 2: would just say whack. But I'm going to check it
Speaker 2: out because that's what everybody else is going to do.
Speaker 2: It's like everybody want to be a part of the show.
Speaker 1: The show.
Speaker 4: They want to see the person who's on the internet live.
Speaker 4: That's what the artists want to see, so they whack.
Speaker 4: Even I'm gonna go see them, but then they get
Speaker 4: on their phone like this show way, this show way,
Speaker 4: what I thought it was, This showing what I thought
Speaker 4: it was gonna be to lay Now you done paid
Speaker 4: you forty fifty dollars to see this guy.
Speaker 2: Well, I think I think to your point, do I
Speaker 2: do think that there is a place for internet comics.
Speaker 2: This is a place for that's a place for comics
Speaker 2: because they do have a fan base, and those fans
Speaker 2: who are fans to them and like what they do,
Speaker 2: they want to be in the same space with them.
Speaker 2: They want to They just want to support whatever they
Speaker 2: got going on, so they're gonna come out and support that.
Speaker 2: So they have a right to, like you say, spend
Speaker 2: their money with who they want to spend that money with, right.
Speaker 2: But I do think that overall, just the fans automatically
Speaker 2: assuming that some of these guys are going to be funny,
Speaker 2: they really understand stand up because they're going to they're
Speaker 2: going to be at I don't know, the improv or
Speaker 2: the funny Bone or whatever caroline'es. They think just because
Speaker 2: they're there that they're going to see some real stand
Speaker 2: up comp comedy. I think those times, at some point
Speaker 2: that is going to wane. Those people who really understand comedy,
Speaker 2: that really like comedy are going to start becoming more discerning.
Speaker 2: Like yo, wait a minute, Like my time is valuable.
Speaker 2: These chuckles I give cost something, you know, and I'm
Speaker 2: not just gonna give them to anybody. I do think
Speaker 2: that it's going to come a time when when people
Speaker 2: start to understanding that, okay, that's a very distinct difference
Speaker 2: between internet comedy and stand up comedy.
Speaker 1: That time, that time is going to come.
Speaker 4: They think they find it out right now if they
Speaker 4: find out the difference between the real comics and the internet.
Speaker 4: Command So you go skating, Say you go skating, I
Speaker 4: mean a skating ring. You gonna skate with the youngsters
Speaker 4: or you wanna skate with the pros?
Speaker 1: Shite. Some of the youngsters are pros, some of you pros.
Speaker 4: But guess what, Just like I said, some of the
Speaker 4: youngsters in the Internet comedians are pros. I ain't say
Speaker 4: all of them was trashed. I said some of them,
Speaker 4: some them good. So you got the Internet, you got
Speaker 4: something good. But then that late you want to get
Speaker 4: on that stage, you want to go on the skating rins,
Speaker 4: go with the pros man because they go, they gonna
Speaker 4: make that round look nice. But I ain't gonna skate
Speaker 4: with the youngsters because they gonna take their time trying
Speaker 4: to get it. These youngsters took their time and worked
Speaker 4: on how to perfect the Internet. They found out that
Speaker 4: they can use their phone and film a whole movie.
Speaker 4: They know how to do all that. They on their
Speaker 4: phone twenty four hours day. They don't even gon out
Speaker 4: side like more. You see them outside. You know, we
Speaker 4: used to go outside and play uh you know football,
Speaker 4: no pads on, and we go out hit it. These
Speaker 4: yongsters ain't outside.
Speaker 5: Gettle boys. Reloaded podcasts will be right back after the break.
Speaker 2: Are there any Internet comedians out there that you personally
Speaker 2: would endorse like? And can you like actually say that name?
Speaker 4: Country Wayne? Okay, Country Wayne, Country Wayne.
Speaker 1: DC.
Speaker 4: You gonna fly all them cats, the one you brought
Speaker 4: down for your your roast. I can't think of Carlos
Speaker 4: them cats. I'll catch a beast. It's not the Internet.
Speaker 4: They're beasts, man, And that's why they social scessful. They
Speaker 4: worked on their crawd they worked on they worked on
Speaker 4: you can't stop there. And what they got going on now,
Speaker 4: it's unbelievable. It's good, So I wouldn't those are the
Speaker 4: kind of cast I would enduce those guys. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: like them. They fund his health.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Are you doing any writing for any type of shows?
Speaker 2: You mentioned that that David Rayyrn was doing some writing
Speaker 2: and stuff. You ever did thought about doing any kind
Speaker 2: of writing for these sitcoms?
Speaker 4: I never did, because once you start writing, that's your time.
Speaker 4: M hmm, You're gonna write, that's it.
Speaker 2: Well, Paul Mooney was able to balance it. He wrote
Speaker 2: for Richard and so many other comedians during this time.
Speaker 4: Here, Paul Mooney was already connected.
Speaker 1: Who else is he right for?
Speaker 4: Richard Prown?
Speaker 2: For I mean some of the more modern comedians. I
Speaker 2: think he did some stuff with Chris Rock and.
Speaker 4: I think, but see, those are comics, not set there's
Speaker 4: not a setcom. Those are comics. They so you're telling
Speaker 4: they they didn't have shows.
Speaker 2: That he wrote for that sketch comedy about sketch comedy shows, okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And he was in the position to he was in
Speaker 4: a great position because he started back writing with them
Speaker 4: guys back in the seventies. So if you what if
Speaker 4: you go to me right now, you can see some
Speaker 4: old movies with Paul Mooney in it. Paul Mooney was
Speaker 4: already out there doing his thing. So when he got
Speaker 4: with Richard Prior, Jamie Fox, Red Fox, he got with
Speaker 4: all them guys and they knew he was an incredible writer.
Speaker 4: So he could sit there and he can write at
Speaker 4: his house. Boom, send that in there.
Speaker 1: You go.
Speaker 4: You give me a topic, I write on your topic.
Speaker 4: I mean, if it comes to me, yeah, I can
Speaker 4: do it. Yeah. But he was getting paid for it.
Speaker 4: Some of these guys these days right here, they want
Speaker 4: you right, but they don't want you to pay. They
Speaker 4: don't want to pay mm hmm. They write this from
Speaker 4: help me with this kit, all right, but I'm using
Speaker 4: my brain to help you level to another? Was that
Speaker 4: you want me to help you level up? Are you
Speaker 4: gonna bring me up there with you?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: I just want you to just help me write this
Speaker 4: last little but I can't get this last piece in.
Speaker 4: You will help him, all right?
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 4: Appreciate your hang up on them. I won't mention your name.
Speaker 4: I don't care to talk about you. If you do
Speaker 4: a lot of stuff, Paul. When them cast was doing anything,
Speaker 4: they put Paul Mooney on every time. Paul Mooney writes something.
Speaker 4: They put his name out there. Paul Mooney helped me
Speaker 4: with this.
Speaker 2: They had to because Paul Mooney would call the asses out.
Speaker 2: I wrote for that nigga. Yeah that give me credit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, it's my joke. I wrote that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's me.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. Paul Mooney was something else man.
Speaker 4: I opened up for him at the Improv one time
Speaker 4: and they tried, yeah, yeah yeah when.
Speaker 1: I first did you got any feeling that?
Speaker 4: Oh no, I just got pictures with him and stuff.
Speaker 4: But that's before the camp we was at. The mprov
Speaker 4: would probably be it's still there, but you went the
Speaker 4: old Wamprov when I first started comedy, booked me to
Speaker 4: open up for him, and I hosted for him, and
Speaker 4: they try to they try to let me go. I
Speaker 4: be like, okay, I'm gonna let you. It was gonna
Speaker 4: find me for that night. True story, It's gonna find me.
Speaker 4: Paul Mull said, no, I don't find niggas. No, you're
Speaker 4: working for me the whole weekend.
Speaker 1: Now, Now, why was he gonna find you?
Speaker 4: Because they were saying that what I was telling my
Speaker 4: jokes I was I was telling I was lighting the
Speaker 4: crowd up. So the guy that was with Paul when
Speaker 4: he talked to us.
Speaker 1: Say you wasn't supposed to light the crowd.
Speaker 4: Oh light now uthing. He was like, you're going to
Speaker 4: high level, too high. We need somebody lord and that.
Speaker 4: I was like this two start it to the guy
Speaker 4: that ran the improv and he went back and told
Speaker 4: me that he was gonna go ahead and let me
Speaker 4: go for the weekend. So I went for Paul, like, man,
Speaker 4: I appreciate working with you. Man, this is it's gonna
Speaker 4: let me go for the weekend. You're not going anywhere.
Speaker 4: I don't fire niggas who we work together, and the
Speaker 4: whole weekend, I work the whole weekend. He came back again.
Speaker 4: I worked with him again, and I worked with him
Speaker 4: at the Doce Lounge and then the last that's the
Speaker 4: last time I seen him. No, No, I saw the
Speaker 4: Carolines in New York.
Speaker 2: So I'm assuming that's one of the best experiences with
Speaker 2: a comedian, a well known commedy.
Speaker 4: A well known comedian just said, you're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: Give me your worst.
Speaker 2: Who's who's who's out there that everybody thinks it's probably
Speaker 2: like this great guy in comedy, and I you had
Speaker 2: this experience with him, and he was like, Nah, man,
Speaker 2: that ain't it. I thought this guy was something different.
Speaker 4: Man, I've been with so many cats. Man out, I
Speaker 4: don't know. I can't really say who. I really can't.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, dropping it now?
Speaker 2: You can't you know what, I'm not gonna do it.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Here's why I'm not gonna Here's why. You know, I
Speaker 2: really just scratched it. Because here's why. Sometimes people have
Speaker 2: bad days, even comedies, comics even have bad days. And
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes somebody can say something, say something and
Speaker 2: you just say something wrong. You know, you say something
Speaker 2: the wrong way, and you know, because of whatever, you
Speaker 2: may not have a time even when you catch us.
Speaker 2: If you're a good person, you'll catch it anytime. If
Speaker 2: you're a good person and you are in a bad mood,
Speaker 2: or you say something and it comes out the wrong way,
Speaker 2: sometimes you know you have the you have the presence
Speaker 2: of mind to want to apologize, or you catch yourself
Speaker 2: and you knew that they can am not the wrong way,
Speaker 2: and you want to apologize. But what happens is that
Speaker 2: you start separating from that person who you offended, or
Speaker 2: you believe you offended, that person may leave or whatever,
Speaker 2: or that person's on the other side of the room.
Speaker 2: You over here, and you know you're sitting on you're
Speaker 2: sitting on it. You're sitting on it, and then time
Speaker 2: kind of going happens and then you just leave it alone.
Speaker 4: I've seen it happened not too long ago, and you
Speaker 4: saw it happen. He was there too, that improv.
Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, you saun happening.
Speaker 4: You calmed everything down. Yeah, if it won't for you
Speaker 4: escalated to another level. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you saw it happened. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and them two that was cool. Yeah, you see what
Speaker 4: I'm saying. But that's what's disrespect. That was a veteran
Speaker 4: comedian that disrespected another comedian, which that he shouldn't have done.
Speaker 1: I agree one hundred percent.
Speaker 4: I agree with Cordy Hooko one hundred because I mean,
Speaker 4: whatever you have to say, whatever, no One should go
Speaker 4: and take over No One's green room and they working.
Speaker 4: As I learned something from Cory Hookum that night, because
Speaker 4: it's so true when you on stage. Now, me being
Speaker 4: a veteran comedian, it's still a lot to learn in
Speaker 4: this game. But when you on stage, you're working, you're working.
Speaker 4: You're working for forty five minutes to an hour on
Speaker 4: that stage by yourself. It's sometimes hot. Sometimes you swear
Speaker 4: you get tired. When you go get off stage. You
Speaker 4: do want to go to your green room and relax.
Speaker 4: But guess what, you got seven shows you got to
Speaker 4: your body got to do all seventy shows, and you
Speaker 4: got to be funny for all forty five minutes of
Speaker 4: those seven shows. You calculate all those hours up doing
Speaker 4: stand up for that whole weekend, that's over seven hours
Speaker 4: of comedy. I'm on that stage. So when I get off,
Speaker 4: I do want to relax my mind because I got
Speaker 4: another soul out of show.
Speaker 1: What I gotta do?
Speaker 4: I got another soul I show I gotta do. I've
Speaker 4: been on shows where you get off the stage, you
Speaker 4: sit down for an hour. Well, you get off stage,
Speaker 4: you go in the audience. I mean, you go in
Speaker 4: the lobby, you sell your merchandise. Just think about this.
Speaker 4: You go stay forty five minutes, you get off, you
Speaker 4: go in there, sell your merchandise. You gotta sign it.
Speaker 4: If that's if you want to. You go out there,
Speaker 4: you meet the people they want. Everybody want to pitch. Everybody,
Speaker 4: everybody crowd on you. I want my PITCHU, I want picture.
Speaker 4: Just hold on, I want to pitch. Then you go
Speaker 4: back and sit down. You got another crowd out there.
Speaker 4: Now you gotta go out to the go out there
Speaker 4: to the lobby again. Do the same thing over and over.
Speaker 4: So when you get off stage, now you don't want
Speaker 4: to go on the lobby. You want to sit back
Speaker 4: and relax, and you want to go in your green
Speaker 4: room and get your mind right and sell your mama's dollars.
Speaker 4: Like I gotta go back out again. Let me get
Speaker 4: my mind back set up. Just do this again. So
Speaker 4: for that instant to happen, I think that person should
Speaker 4: have apologized for just apologize, saying, man, I apologize for
Speaker 4: going to your green wound. From what I'm hearing, I
Speaker 4: don't know he locked the door, but bloom, we couldn't
Speaker 4: get in all this. I don't know, but it was
Speaker 4: the streets. He got in the streets. But if I
Speaker 4: was that guy that did that, I wouldn't have went
Speaker 4: and apologized. Man, Man, I don't know what I was thinking.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, man, this is your weekend. I had no
Speaker 4: right to take up your agreenroom. I'm gonna sit out
Speaker 4: here and watch the show. It was wrong for me.
Speaker 4: So I kind of understood how he felt, you know,
Speaker 4: in that moment. And I'm cool with all of them,
Speaker 4: but I just think that when he felt that weekend,
Speaker 4: and it hurt because it hurts comings because all of
Speaker 4: us we should be together, but we're worse than rappers.
Speaker 2: Huh, say, man, that's that, y'all bad? Then, y'all you
Speaker 2: don't even know. Have you ever helped someone? Have you
Speaker 2: ever helped a comic who ascended to the top and
Speaker 2: they didn't reach back?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, hell yeah?
Speaker 1: What won't look back? Yeah, well, we'll call you.
Speaker 4: For something. Won't even answer the phone.
Speaker 1: Will call you to let you know they're coming to
Speaker 1: town and offer some tickets.
Speaker 4: Or who said the who said they don't live here?
Speaker 4: Oh wow, wow, top of the top? If I tell
Speaker 4: you the top, it won't reach down and grab you
Speaker 4: and pull you up because they're afraid that you're gonna
Speaker 4: take their shine. Yeah, won't do it, but we'll call you.
Speaker 4: We'll call you nash for some it but won't won't
Speaker 4: reach back.
Speaker 1: You ever had a.
Speaker 2: A fan or just a person that was in the
Speaker 2: audience for the night. Wait till you walk outside and
Speaker 2: try to charge you up about a joke you said, No, you.
Speaker 4: Never had that, because we'll come on my head. It's
Speaker 4: something totally different than a lot of cats. If you,
Speaker 4: if you, if a lot of cats hear me, we'll
Speaker 4: be like man, man you funny.
Speaker 1: I have been. I ain't.
Speaker 4: Never had nobody charge me, yep, because I ain't. I
Speaker 4: ain't in the mood to stealing nothing because the way

Speaker 2: comic comic is on stage, people like to hear their name.

Speaker 2: or you go back, or you know somebody and you
Speaker 2: tell a story about It's like, I love comedy, man,
Speaker 2: And some of the funniest things, Some of the funniest
Speaker 2: comedy I've ever heard, is when a comedian gets on
Speaker 2: stage who I know, a friend of mine would get
Speaker 2: on stage and tell something about did he know about me?
Speaker 2: That most people don't know? Right, it's funny as hell

Speaker 4: we did Joe roast, that was so much fun. Him
Speaker 4: that Willy D had them shoes on with the socks

Speaker 1: you gonnab to hit his ship. Who you got?
Speaker 4: Bernie mac Bernnie Mack was one of my favorites. He
Speaker 4: changed the game. Mike Epps one my favorite. We start
Speaker 4: out together back in Mike Als one of my favorite.
Speaker 4: That's two.
Speaker 1: Dave Jappel.
Speaker 4: He's a smart comic, that kind of smart coming. He's three.
Speaker 4: Me can be the grossman, my damn self.
Speaker 1: Yeah. One more.
Speaker 4: Y'all y'all might not y'all something y'all might not. It's
Speaker 4: so it's it's man, blue collar, get her done.
Speaker 1: M m I can't, I can't think your name.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think of his name right now. But
Speaker 4: he's like one of my favorites. Yeah, I got coached
Speaker 4: by my coaching came from Steve Harvey. That's where my
Speaker 4: coaching came from. I was when I was at the
Speaker 4: hip hop coming stop. He pulled me to the side
Speaker 4: and say, man, you come with me up to it
Speaker 4: with Steve. He taught me things. But the reason why
Speaker 4: I lost out with that because I'm gonna say everybody,
Speaker 4: the comics know, if you opening up for somebody, do
Speaker 4: what you're supposed to do. Do your time. Do we
Speaker 4: supposed to get out? I'm young, I ain't never been nowhere.
Speaker 4: I'm from the hood, I ain't never been in what said, right,
Speaker 4: they laughing female, I'm going over the time, not realizing
Speaker 4: this is a business. This building costs if you go
Speaker 4: this time, build a car. So you just took up
Speaker 4: Steve time for your time. So he give me this
Speaker 4: you're doing. You're gonna host, you're gonna do ten minutes.
Speaker 4: You're gonna do five up front, bringing the other thing.
Speaker 4: You're gonna do another five. Bring me up. I go up.
Speaker 4: But when I just I don't even remember how much
Speaker 4: time I was doing. They gave me in light blah
Speaker 4: blah blah. I come out stage for we was in Austin.
Speaker 4: I come out stage. We're in the hotel, room. I'm
Speaker 4: in the hotel sleep. They called me some of the time. Man,
Speaker 4: come on, man, we gotta go, Come on down, man,
Speaker 4: we gotta go. I walked down, like damn man. So
Speaker 4: Steve set me down for the last time at the
Speaker 4: Winn Theater by yourself in the room with me, coached
Speaker 4: me and told me everything that I need to do.
Speaker 4: Say you are not coachable, you don't listen bloom. He
Speaker 4: wasn't lying. He told him everything. And that was the
Speaker 4: last time I was on stage with them. Yep, And
Speaker 4: I realized when, uh, when I lost what I could
Speaker 4: have had, but what I lost. So but he'll see
Speaker 4: me and say what's up to me or whatever. It
Speaker 4: was still cool. But for me, like performing, that was
Speaker 4: that was done. So I would tell young comings, if
Speaker 4: you're on stage with somebody that's a professional comedian that's
Speaker 4: already up there, just listen to it there to say,
Speaker 4: don't take that time and shine because they didn't come
Speaker 4: and see you, but they're learning about you. So if
Speaker 4: they come, they came to see Steve, they come and
Speaker 4: see this Day Chapelle, Chris Rocks, Tucker, they come and
Speaker 4: see them cats. They did one sold the tickets, not
Speaker 4: you So if they sold all these tickets and they
Speaker 4: come and see them, and he gave you opportunity to
Speaker 4: get in front of those people and to perform, then
Speaker 4: respect the time, respect the comedian, inspect the business. If
Speaker 4: you respect all that, man, you ain't have no problem
Speaker 4: nobody in this game. That's why I ain't got no problem,
Speaker 4: because I learned.
Speaker 1: I learned.
Speaker 4: So I'm hosting my god man, I hold so many
Speaker 4: shows now because I learned the game.
Speaker 1: I learned how it is.
Speaker 4: Somebody say, when you're in a big theater like the
Speaker 4: Financial Center and you're doing there, let's speak the time's
Speaker 4: come on.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Chris Rock. Hypothetical scenario here, you're aim seeing
Speaker 2: an event. It's being televised before the world, very important event.
Speaker 2: You Terry Grossman as a tuxedo on where the LA
Speaker 2: Raiders haden, what Dodgers Dodgers got the LA Dodgers had on,
Speaker 2: and you crack a joke about somebody's wife. They get offended.
Speaker 2: They come up on stage and slap you to death.
Speaker 4: M hmm.
Speaker 1: What do you do? First?
Speaker 4: I think about it. I say, he's a moti being there.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna pass out on that stage and I'm Forna
Speaker 4: get paid. I'm gonna catch his ass in the street
Speaker 4: and we're gonna go for it right then.
Speaker 1: And there me being me being uh.
Speaker 4: I don't know, me being like I am. I don't
Speaker 4: think I could have took that punch. I mean that slap.

Speaker 4: And we fight, winna lose? We fight if I'm already
Speaker 4: a millionaire and you a millionaire, I couldn't do. Man,
Speaker 4: We're gonna fight. It was too many chails and nothing.
Speaker 4: How to get thrown around in that month. Nig said that.
Speaker 4: I mean soon he turned it back and he be
Speaker 4: no more bout He's been walking around here like this
Speaker 4: here the whole time. But Will, I don't know no
Speaker 4: more movies. But what happened with Chris. Chris is smart.
Speaker 4: Chris didn't do nothing back. Now Will don't have no
Speaker 4: more got kicked out of all these movies. I mean,
Speaker 4: his name is the lowest thing in Hollywood for slapping
Speaker 4: that dude, not anymore. He picked it back up while
Speaker 4: he said there.
Speaker 1: He will Smith Bro.
Speaker 2: He gonna come back, like I told you, man, I mean,
Speaker 2: how to come at the party.
Speaker 1: People, people in America have a very short memory. Bro.
Speaker 2: When it comes to outrage, they have a very shorter memory. Man,
Speaker 2: they're gonna go into something else. Will have bounced back
Speaker 2: just because he's he's he's a likable dude, and he's
Speaker 2: very very talented. More than anything, he's talented, and he's smart.
Speaker 2: He's a smart businessman. He'll bounce back. I lay low, though, shit,
Speaker 2: he's already laid low. It's been it's been a year.
Speaker 2: It's time to get back at it, baby, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Time to get back to the.
Speaker 4: What would you have done, Willie, knowing that you're a
Speaker 4: ghetto boy, I would pull but you've been saved now.
Speaker 1: I would have pulled out my gun and took care
Speaker 1: of my business right there.
Speaker 4: You can't have no gun in Oscar, Willie. I'll be
Speaker 4: damn you saved. You passed at the truck.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't shot nobody, but I wouldn't shot still a
Speaker 2: gettle boy. I wouldn't shot nobody, but you know, but
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have done that though. It wouldn't have been me.
Speaker 2: It just would not have been me. I wouldn't would
Speaker 2: I would not. I would not have made them type
Speaker 2: of jokes about a man's wife.
Speaker 1: First of all, that's true. I wouldn't have done it,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: And I know some comics say, man, it was weak joking,
Speaker 2: soft it I'm just saying. And plus date, from what
Speaker 2: I understand, that was some history of him making jokes
Speaker 2: about her. He showed it, so I would not. I'm
Speaker 2: not that type of dude, because I already know what
Speaker 2: that type of stuff too. And I don't like to
Speaker 2: invite unnecessary drama, unnecessary conflict, because conflict is costly. Even
Speaker 2: if you win, you might lose, right, even if you win,
Speaker 2: you could lose your freedom, you could lose a lot
Speaker 2: of money, you could lose a lot of sleep and
Speaker 2: energy because you're in a constant state of paranoia because
Speaker 2: now you have another enemy walking around here, you see.
Speaker 2: So I'm not in the business of creating unnecessary enemies now.
Speaker 2: Once it's time to go to watch, you know, it
Speaker 2: is what it is. I am a feel this warrior.
Speaker 2: I will go to war, but I'm not going unnecessarily right,
Speaker 2: you know. That's why I reserve the right to my resources.
Speaker 2: So if I have to use them, I will use
Speaker 2: them when it counts. I'm not going to just be
Speaker 2: just just walking around like a lot of these cats,
Speaker 2: just an enemy of day. They're just averaging an enemy
Speaker 2: a day, like everybody they mad at every everybody's their enemy.
Speaker 2: That is a bad, bad way to live, you know.
Speaker 2: And I like the peace that I have of being
Speaker 2: able to move around by myself and don't have to
Speaker 2: deal with it have to deal with an entourage. I
Speaker 2: move around by myself because I personally believe that nobody
Speaker 2: can guard my body better than me. You know, pockad
Speaker 2: security with him. He got killed, Big hact security with him.
Speaker 2: He got killed. Uh what's his name? Reagan? Reagan had
Speaker 2: security with him. He almost got killed. They shot the
Speaker 2: president of the United States. So a determined mind is
Speaker 2: one of the most unstoppable force known the man.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: So you know, it doesn't matter how tough you are
Speaker 2: and how much security you have and what your position is,
Speaker 2: if you run up on the wrong one, it could happen.
Speaker 4: It can happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But you know what what happened.
Speaker 4: It was a fed up type of situation from talking
Speaker 4: about his wife from the first one to this one
Speaker 4: and to some other things. So it wasn't that Will
Speaker 4: was laughing. It was just Jada wasn't laughing, and he
Speaker 4: felt her pain. So he had to do something about it,
Speaker 4: her pain, and that's what he took her pain and
Speaker 4: made it his pain and went up there and slapped this.
Speaker 2: I never heard that take, man, But that's a good
Speaker 2: take right there. You know, I never thought about that.
Speaker 2: It's like, it wasn't that it was funny to him,
Speaker 2: right but when he realized it's not funny to her,
Speaker 2: it made her feel some type of way. He got
Speaker 2: to do something about it. Do something about it. That's
Speaker 2: her pain.
Speaker 4: He took her pain into his pain, went up there
Speaker 4: and slapped him and made his pain feel her pain.
Speaker 4: So they both felt the same. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: See what I tell you, man, you could do consultations. Man,
Speaker 1: you could do that. Bro. Now you got me in Thursday.
